@@jamesburton247 the first time i went crate digging i found this Grover Washington Jr record and it made me so happy to find a classic record on my 1st dig 😁
Full circle. Boot camp was my fave group in the 90s Grover is one of my fave saxophonists of all time. When he passed i posted on his online memorial. His daughter appreciated what I posted and we kept in touch via email for a while.
Young kids won't realize, this was a revolution when it came out. This track was in Rap City top 10 for ages, back when real music had a chance of getting popular. Hasn't aged a day
“Back when real music had a chance of getting popular”. Daaaamn homie that’s some deep shit. Seriously nothing but facts man that’s exactly how I feel. Too bad the masses never caught on to real talent and real profound hip hop
I probably first heard it about 3-4 years ago and I knew right away what a gem it was. It's interesting to know this history of it though. I didn't know that part. I did see 6 million views though so i kinda knew
So true......yo, I was listening to Black Sheep This or That two days ago and couldn’t believe how uncontrollable Dope that track was back then, and when you sit and listen it to it, it still is just as potent!!!!! 🍌 ‘s
Played this in my math class for my students to get a taste of real Golden Age rap and authentic hip hop culture and had them nodding their heads by the end of the track. You can't celebrate modern black history without learning about hip hop culture.
deejaydiabolic it annoys me how he put on Jay Z , cam’ron , and mase and all three were more successful, don’t get me wrong I like mase but cam and jay are a meh , cmon man L was so much more talented
@@wutang36chambers76 very true...i think a couple factors that play into that are the fact the L only actually had one full studio album to his name before he was murdered. While a beast on the underground circuit, I feel his life was taken before he could achieve that critical success that Hov or Ma$e was able to strive towards...and hell, even Ma$e only blew up from one track and a couple features...also, the content Big L rapped about, even by today's standards was a little intense for commercial success....although hov and cats like that, got love for rapping about coke, so 🤷♂️ but I agree with everything you said....i dj a lot of spots in Denver and *everytime I'd drop a Big L track, someone always comes to the dj booth to give props about big l....ain't no one dapping out when i play pac, biggie, hov etc. The heads who know...know.
Honestly this brought tears down my face. This was Golden Era HIP HOP. NEVER BE THE SAME. Who wants to go back to 93. I was one yr outtakes high school❤❤
Perhaps one of the best hip hop tracks EVER! Yes I said EVER! This track, 21 years later still gives me GOOSEBUMPS every time I hear it. Now that's a sign of a CLASSIC!
+Amidat you gotta go back a little further than that, this was sampled from the great Grover Washington's piece called Hydra in the 70's. But this joint is def in my top five.
BCC was holding it down really hard when everybody else was doing they Cali thing. Them & Wu Tang. But yeah they took the east coast back before Wu Tang did.
This beat bounces to the heartbeat of NYC, to the projects, all the way to it's skyline. The concrete jungle as they call it. Perfect representation, beat and rhymes. From a N.J native respect to NY for the real hip hop 👏🏾
Don't forget the Beatminerz. They made you feel how NY felt in the cold winter cyphers puffin Ls in the NYCHA projects of Brooklyn in the early 90s. Their beats are the embodiment of that. Knocking drums, jazzy loops, spine tingling sounds and an overall dark and dangerous vibe. This beat sounds like the paramedics just arrived to rescue the victim who is experiencing their last moments of life as their pulse fades away.
I grew up on EAST COAST music and the DJs, but I lived in GA! Loved WBLS and KISS FM...used to get mix tapes all the time from those stations....Chuck Chillout, DJ Red Alert, etc....MEMORIES!!!!
The Beatminerz as a collective was the definition of murky basement beats! Baby Paul and Mr Walt weren't no jokes either! Tupac wanted Mr Walt production on the original version of All Eyez On Me in late 95.. but then he wanted R Kelly, Rza, Kay Gee, Kool G Rap, Raekwon, Freddie Foxx, Chuck D on there too..
I remember purchasing this single and listening to it with my walkman. This is one of the best record. This represents the East Coast Hip-Hop. It's raw...hard and authentic. #Blackmoon #Buckshot #93 #Goldenera
+Zibby Zee ... Yes sis. I remember when this dropped. It revived hip hop in the East. Next thing you know, Wu was dropping in the winter, Nas the next year, and so on.
+Erick Jordan Actually, B.I.G brought The East back you better believe that-Jadakiss, "We will always love big poppa"This was filmed in Bushwick Projects..
Just seeing Evil Dee hit the handstand just takes me back to the pure ESSENCE of east coo hip hop from b-boy days of grandmaster flash to dark-gritty east coast days of mob deep, black moon, smif-n-wessun, cornega, etc., just pure talent. ✨🎵💙
Sure did bro while I was in college at CSU bro.I had this big idea I was going to play the jams and inform the masses. I use to do my little slow jam,jazz mix with the old style playing a record and then announce the name and then do a PSA.Once I saw how watered down and commercial radio was getting.I was done and by then Pro-Black Hip hop was on the map.
It was so good seeing Buckshot on the on the Verzuz stage with KRS One. That voice is legendary. I miss this Hip Hop. The 90s were a phenomenal time for Brooklyn.
This can't even be considered just rap. What this video depicts is hip-hop. The roots and origins of a whole culture and movement of music at its peak. From the graffiti, to the urban ghetto, to the subway train, to the DJ stylin' on the vinyl, to the MC, to the baggy streetwear, to the grimey Timberland boots and sneakers. The only thing this video was missing was breakdancing.
This is hip hop!!! Who’s banging this in 2024!
its time to run it back.....
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Can’t believe it’s been 30 years!
@P-DAPS We getting up there lol
Yep because of AlScrath new joint
That bassline is immortal.

You can thank Grover Washington Jr. Band for this Sample a 70's Groove

Almost 30 years later and its still knocking.
I agree beat just makes me feel good .
Grover Washington Jr Hydra
As a metalhead I love it
🧐😊
No matter what happens in life, I always come back to this track.
Real shit👊🏿
Word
I owned this album thrice. My boys would say they "borrowed" it. Always had to grab it again and again.
💯💯
original headz normally do
who remembers the feeling in 93, when they heard this blasting in the streets ??
93 I remember it all. Thank God I was 21 years old and rocking real rhymes while I was rocking my kickflips. Thank God for Black Moon
No doubt on every mixtape and college radio station 💯🙌🔥
My senior yr in high school in 93? This track was in HEAVY rotation in my walkman
Worddd baby i do!!! Im 54 and still bumping this in my car!!!!
Remember hearing it the summer of 1994.
This Hip Hop is pure gold, and you can’t deny it.
30 years later still 🔥 🔥
This album should be in a museum.
It is

One of the greatest beats ever. It doesn't get played out either. It actually sounds better and better as the years wear on

Exactly 💯
Its sound right

Where were you wen I was n junior high and high school

I was about 16 -17 when this dropped!
Only thing I like better then black moon was nas illmatic!!
tswagg504 Best comment on the Net Homie. Peace to all the Hip Hop Junkies.
Who remember when Buckshot was considered one of the dopest MC’s he still is but I’m saying in the 90’s he started a whole movement
D. Jackson straight faaax💯💯💯💯
truth be told buckshot put so many artist on....
Everyone from Redman to Lil Kim to Tupac were riding for Buck!
Boot Camp Clik
@Jose Garcia - I wouldn't say he had nothing on them. I would say more he passed on the torch

BlackMoon never gets credit for bringing NYC HIP HOP back!
no real rapper ever gets credit only fake ones like Pitbull and Future
Why does it matter I apreciatte that we have this and that of nobody else.
In other words Fuck'em.
True. Until Craig Mack and biggie came Black moon was holding it down
now nyc has tekashi69 lol
BCC was holding it down really hard when everybody else was doing they Cali thing. Them & Wu Tang. But yeah they took the east coast back before Wu Tang did.
This is a cleansing for my speakers. So glad I lived through this era.
90s (GOLDEN ERA) glad I was a witness.
Same here!
Me too
Greatest rap era ever 💯💯💯💯
Thank god right
