Don't care what anyone says.....90's were the Golden age of Rap, grunge, alternative......music was all we had, everyone was looking for the year 2000's and we got looked over.
@@justa90sgirl74 we sure did!! Last generation to remember life without a digital leash (smartphones) 😂. We actually had to go outside and socialize with REAL people 😂😂😂. I'd go back in a second!!
Actually lol they weren’t. They did extremely well and did big shows along with A Tribe Called Quest and they really blew up with LabCabinCalifornia. One of my favorite hip-hop groups. They were awesome. This album was under rated though, in my opinion
We blasted this in the car on the way to the Bay Area when we were kids in the 90s. Played it at every house party and we all knew every word. A gorgeous classic. ✨ peace to every one here.
One of Hip-Hop’s most beautiful moments, precision storytelling at its finest. Full circle moment playing this in the car today and seeing someone walking down the street turn around 360 and give a nodding thumbs up of approval. Great to see timeless music is here to stay in 2022
The flow changeups by themselves are velvet, but then they mix in that beautiful chorus and so many staccato breakdowns, and then the vibe... Total masterpiece
sergio clavel it's that feeling when the pretty girl across the room who u crushing on gives u the eye. The eye that gives u the confidence to shoot your shot. Then u realize it was just a friendly look. Just a twinkle in the eye
No naked women, no alcohol, no drugs….and the most important, no annoying autotune nor mumbling. Just a nice lyrical rap love song. This is the hip hop I miss so much.
Can't relate to rap about crime and stuff, this song is about something most people can relate to. Plus the lyricism is awesome and each rapper has a distinct style.
sirwilliam johnson check this concert out! If you want them there, submit it on this website! It’s an off the hook concert they have every year! www.hieroday.com
MrJamal657 oh my god hahaha I was thinking the stupidest shit ever... I thought he said “we turned to cinder” as in a cinderblock.... their relationship crumbled away like cinder 🤣 I’m embarrassed
Classic 🔥93 .. being a teen in the 90s was like my parents in the 70s.. music and fashion can’t be duplicated no matter how they try .. 😢miss these days
The Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics, Zion I, Blu & Exile, Living Legends, The Grouch, Murs, Eligh, People Under The Stairs, Gift of Gab, Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5 are are all amazing on the west coast, and A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Mos Def, Guru, Mr. Lif etc.. on the east coast or Lupe Fiasco, Atmosphere, Eyedea, J Dilla, etc in the midwest
Personally I'm a Public Enemy [I love the stuff from "Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black" (1991) to "Most of My Heroes Still Don't Appear on No Stamps" (2012) excluding the crap that was "Rebirth of a Nation" (2005) with Paris and Dead Prez; "Revolverlution" (2002) and "There's A Poison' Goin' On" (1999) are classics], Gang Starr (their later stuff was unbelievable - "Hard to Earn" (1994) was their best album in terms of vibe and concept, "Daily Operation" (1992), "Step Into the Arena" (1990), "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (1989) are definite morning classics; "The Ownerz" (2003) is probably their most victorious and triumphant album - the world was theirs, and "Moment of Truth" (1998) is possibly my favorite album for the lyrics and production value - Preem was a fucking god and Guru at his peak.), and Deltron 3030 fan. ("Deltron 3030" (2008) [Del cannot be beat, and Dan's tracks are sooooooo goooooood to where the instrumentals make superb sampling tracks] and "Event 2" (2013)). My music though is inspired mostly by Tangerine Dream, an entirely different genre (Komische electronic/ambient electronic) of an entirely different country.
I personally consider this the best hip hop song ever made. Some of these lines are borderline Morrissey lyrics, "I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye." It's simple, but deep and painful, and also profound. It tells a long story of heartbreak to arrive at that simple conclusion summed up in one line. The opening reverse sample and reverb on the vocals makes it sound like it takes place in the past, when things are bittersweet. The organ sample from Summer in the City makes it all nostalgic and melancholy. It's just a brilliant song.
I hear that. It’s up there with other cuts of hip hop perfection for me, too. Sometimes songs that sound melancholy but maybe aren’t completely (or at all) just do the best types of damage to our senses that other feel good song examples just can’t. A lot of my favorites from the genre are songs with thought out soulful, deep cutting beats and instrumental layers, but with the rapping on top of it being real, dirty, funky shit that makes the complete package an attack on all of my check boxes. Southern groups were the best with that shit and guys like DJ Screw took it a step further. Grab some headphones and check out these tracks if you’re up for it: Screw / UGK - Something Good Screw / Al-D - No Way Out Screw / Point Blank - Mind Went Blank Point Blank - After I Die Three-6 Mafia - Da Summa Three-6 Mafia - Fuckin Wit Dis Click Screw / Guerrilla Maab - Fondren 20-2-Life - Servin’ A Deuce Geto Boys - Mind Playin Tricks (obvious) Goodie Mob - Guess Who Scarface - Greed
These guys were so far ahead of their time! The production style, the music video, and even their clothes sound and look like they could be from recent times . I’m 20 and it’s easy to see how much they’ve influenced some of the better artists of this era .
They were not "ahead of their time". They were a reflection of the time. They also took a lot of inspiration from ATCQ and Primal Scream. Comments like these just go to show how new generations think the 90s were some obscure caveman days lmao. I’ve seen comments from kids on Apex Twin and Portishead videos saying the same shit about "so far ahead of their time". 🙄
@@okaysudo For sure. Different style to these two groups though. I love Wu-Tang and Black Moon. Their first albums were playing non-stop in our graduation limo during prom night in NYC 1994!
1:48 He's upside down while she's running in the background. Symbolically it means she's been on his mind so much to the point of messing his life up ( turn it upside down). A+ directing.
As a child growing up mid-90's this was one of the first hip-hop songs to go beyond catching my ear and really resonated with me. Decades later it still can take me back to a simpler, care-free time. Salute to thee P-H-ar-cyde! Hip-hop forever.
Hip hop. Yes. A few artist that know how to spit real bars. But not as common as before. Rappers now a days are just pure ass. Rare to find an artist with word play.
Coast Contra... if you like Pharcyde, Tribe, Wu Tang... those young guys emulate the 90s style VERY well while adding their own flair. They're lyrical af too. Don't sleep on them like I did before i finally checked em out. They're legit
it probably won't happen. Remember tho hip hop is always evolving and the same way you feel about this song theres a whole generation who feel the same way to say lil uzi or drakes songs ya know.
I’m a 16 y/o girl and i fell down a hip hop rabbit hole a while ago and happened to find this song. ive been nonstop listening to this for a few months and I’m literally obsessed with the pharcyde now.
If you want some suggestions for other groups, A Tribe Called Quest are very similar and huge favorites of mine. Some particular favorite tracks of mine are Butter, Footprints, Electric Relaxation and Luck of Lucien. Hope you like them. :)
@@BobbyBasketball19999 I also recommend other groups like De La Soul, Foreign Exchange and Souls Of Mischief. I'm 18 and I absolutely love old school hip-hop the shit is the best 🙌🏼
@@HominisLupis The word you're lookin for is "WERE" not "was" . I edited my comment to take into consideration the part your parent/s play in you not speaking properly.
@@HominisLupis you calling him "oldman" with a 14 years old account? that's both funny and pathetic, you are not young either with your middle aged azz lmao.
My 15 year old son’s teacher played this song in class and gave extra credit for who can name it and he did. made me as proud of him for that as much as for him taking AP classes
What a jam. 30 years later and it sounds just as fresh. I remember hearing this at 8 and being mindblown. It was unique for its time and todays hip hop still can't match this kindof writing.
Damn you just made me feel old as shit! 😂 I flinched at 30 years later! Damn. These guys were mad cool, I used to chill with them whenever they came to Tampa.
I am 44 yo and went for a run today, listening to spotify and this song come on and I was like whaaaaat, it has been years I heard it - and now I can't stop listening to it! Love it, love it!
Fatlip's verse on this track is hands down my favorite verse in all of Hip Hop. It don't matter if you a thug or a nerd we've all had our crushes pass us by. Respect to the Pharcyde
@@childvspuddle5732 It means that his assumptions were wrong about her and he must come to terms with the fact that she does not have any special interests in him.
@@childvspuddle5732 "A twinkle in her eye" is a term that means someone is conveying some frisky intensions, by a little glimmer in the eye. It's an American idiom indicating sexual interest, seen in a subtle look. This guy is saying what he understood to be such a glimmer in the girl's eye towards him, turned out to be literally just a glimpse, and she was indeed expressing no interest at all. Dig?
This jam has everything. Vocals, tight rhyming, etheric beat, harmony, brass (a horn), theme (perfect girl ignoring you), differing flows and an artistic video.
Exactly my point ...the TRUE essence of hip hop is storytelling. ..anybody who can read can put a bunch of bragging rhyme words together. If you look at the best their biggest hits were storytelling rhymes ....meaning the mc's with long careers ...Jay-Z biggie, em, wu tang , nas, beenie, even the fugees ...real talk people really forgot what hip hop was about and how it started.
I never knew K'naan used that line in his song with Adam Levine!!!! Didn't catch it they said it first here! So fun how great hip hop artists pay homage!✌🏾🌞🥸💫👍🏿💫
Yup us 80's babies who grew up in the 90's to mid 2000's had the best hip hop music unlike today's generation they got the shit stain mumble rap that 95 to 98 percent is all shit.
Literal masterpiece, it’s a shame people don’t talk about it that much, especially since the song was clearly ahead of it’s time, production wise and vocally.
This, is my favorite song of all time. I’ve seen them in concert once, KMEL Summer Jam 1993, at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View California. This is real hip hop right here. This entire album is one of the greatest hip hop Albums of all time. Full Stop. If you are into hip hop (youngsters I’m looking at you, I’m 41) Download this album, you won’t regret it!
I'm in East Side San Jose, and I was at that concert too, right before my 20th birthday....106.1 KMEL was a great station, back when Sway was still there, and so was 107.7 KSOL and 97.7 KWSS (in the late 80's) as well....damn this gettin old shit sucks....
my mom just died this morning, and i've constantly had this beat playing within my head. i don't know why, my mom never even heard of pharcyde, or was even a rap fan in general. her favorite band was No Doubt, or maybe, just to appeal to some of the times we had, probably Twenty One Pilots. i'm only going to college in 2 months and yet this just happened. i probably sound like i'm fishing for attention with this shit, but iunno, i feel this is a possible way for me to cope with everything. is it too much information? most likely. i'm jus a commenter on a good song talking about his recently deceased alcoholic mother, you probably don't need to know about any of it. but again, i guess it's best to let it out. r.i.p. mom, love you edit: thank you so much to everyone for their kind words on my situation and life, i've been trying to give a thumbs up to everyone that replies as a form of support. love all of you guys, i hope all of you have great lives!!!
@@bodybagbote thank you so much, man. this is the first time i've ever really experienced such a thing as this, and it's even harder to truly come to grips with it when i have autism. i hope you do the same, as well. i wish the best for you, and everyone else that's living around us
@@kiki3510 much love, brother, I'm a veteran and someone once said something to me about loss that stuck, maybe it helps you. 'No one is truly gone as long as you remember them, they live in your memories and if you're happy then they exist in a happy place.' Feel free to reach out, brother, here for you through this difficult time 👊❤️
92 man....feel privileged to have been around when not only Hip Hop was good, bit the whole level of music was fantastic. Bands and musicians had something to say and weren't afraid of trying new ways of saying it. It's all manufactured now and I feel for the folks who never got to feel tracks like this when it first came out.
Critically Acclaimed: This was a different level of art. Forget hip hop for a second and focus on how good this record was, it was beyond hip hop.... this right here, this was one of the greatest records ever made. Of course its hip hop based off the rhymes but this had something special, it was different from what you heard at that time in 90's Westcoast Hip Hop... It was fresh, new, innovative, lyrically sound, sonically sound, it was a masterpiece. The video with them upside down? Then in black in white? Pure Vintage, Classic, classic, classic.. all their verses were good but the last one? That verse made the cypher complete ⭐3:10 That was the perfect verse
Yea, man. They had the formula down. A simple and catchy hook. The verses were melodic and memorable. Great storytelling from everyone. It's a timeless piece. I've been hearing and singing along to this song since I was a kid, but I think right now is the first time I actually listened. Shame on me
@@joeski734 you're kidding right? A majority of rappers are all about getting their emotions out especially after Kanye and kid Cudi. That may not be the case so much in the 90s but it definitely is now
18 years old just discovering this sort of sound , real eye opening dope shit man Edit: I appreciate yall so much, hiphop in the 90s has deeply influenced Me in ways that new school will Never Do. Peace
Every day after grade school in the early 90s I used to literally jog home from school to see Rap City on Much Music (Canada stand up) and this video and song blew my mind when I first saw it. I still remember seeing it for the first time. And it was the first hip hop song I related to ever. I wasn't rich, or a gangster, these cats talked about normal life, and did it with style. It basically influenced my musical taste for the rest of my life and this is the genesis. Bless you Pharcyde
Lyrics to this masterpiece. Now in my younger days I used to sport as sag When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss Always got mad when the class was dismissed But when it was in session, I always had a question I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and Help me with my problem, it was never much Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug She was married to the man, he was a thug, his name was Lee, he drove a Z He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock I was on her jock, yes indeedy. I wrote graffiti on the bus First I'd write her name then carve a plus With my name last, on the looking glass I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by When I dream of fairytales I think of me and Shelly See, she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me That I should quit chasin' and look for something better But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture I'm shootin' for her heart, got my finger on the trigger She could be my broad, and I could be her nigger But all I can do is stare Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated, not at all over-rated I think I need a prayer To get in her book and it looks rather dry I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye Although she's crazy steppin' I'll try to stop her stride 'Cause I won't have no more of this passing me by And I must voice my opinion of not even pretending she didn't have me Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan Damn, she looked good, down side: she had a man He was a rudey, too, a nincompoop She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand By letting her pass I had proved to be a better man She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian And now the world around me be gets movin' in slow motion Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try? Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistance And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence From a distance I desired, secretly admired her Wired her a letter to get her, and it went: My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp! 'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so And if I was your man then I would be true The only lying I would do is in the bed with you Give a try and consider the one who loves you dearly P.S. Love me tender The letter came back three days later: return to Sender Damn! She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps on passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by Source: Musixmatch
Oh, this song... It defined my life when I was little. Feels so good inside. I just loved this video. I sure did have this cassette playin' back to back to back.
Damn 1992 I was in high school and I’m 42 now damn I’m old lol Thes jams from the 90s from coolio gansta paradise to Dominoe ghetto jam to zhane hey Mr Dj damn miss those days
*When we were kids. "Our parents just* *don't understand this music"* *Now as parents. "Kids just don't* *understand this music"* *It's has come full circle ⭕*
The early nineties were the best period for timeless hip hop music imho. Outstanding beats, plain and relaxed rapping without all this overproduced fuss. The Pharcyde, Souls Of Mischief, A Tribe Called Quest, Naughty By Nature...my favourite artists when it comes to hip hop, I never get tired of this. You're definitely not alone, just take a look on the comments here.
They STILL sound ahead of their time. I have a 25yr old son now, fully grown, watching him school people and watching them fall in love with these tunes makes me know 1 thing ivw always known THIS TUNE WILL LAST FOREVER. perfection. 👌💥💥💛

I personally consider this the best hip hop song ever made. Some of these lines are borderline Morrissey lyrics, "I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye." It's simple, but deep and painful, and also profound. It tells a long story of heartbreak to arrive at that simple conclusion summed up in one line. The opening reverse sample and reverb on the vocals makes it sound like it takes place in the past, when things are bittersweet. The organ sample from Summer in the City makes it all nostalgic and melancholy. It's just a brilliant song.
I hear that. It’s up there with other cuts of hip hop perfection for me, too. Sometimes songs that sound melancholy but maybe aren’t completely (or at all) just do the best types of damage to our senses that other feel good song examples just can’t. A lot of my favorites from the genre are songs with thought out soulful, deep cutting beats and instrumental layers, but with the rapping on top of it being real, dirty, funky shit that makes the complete package an attack on all of my check boxes. Southern groups were the best with that shit and guys like DJ Screw took it a step further. Grab some headphones and check out these tracks if you’re up for it:
Screw / UGK - Something Good
Screw / Al-D - No Way Out
Screw / Point Blank - Mind Went Blank
Point Blank - After I Die
Three-6 Mafia - Da Summa
Three-6 Mafia - Fuckin Wit Dis Click
Screw / Guerrilla Maab - Fondren
20-2-Life - Servin’ A Deuce
Geto Boys - Mind Playin Tricks (obvious)
Goodie Mob - Guess Who
Scarface - Greed
Definitely a crossover masterpiece. Transcends being 'just' a hip hop track.
And then you add this brilliant dream state video with its humour, heartache and visual confusion and it’s the total package.

Spotify showed me this gem last week and i couldnt get it out of my head. Glad to see others appreciate this music too!
These guys were so far ahead of their time! The production style, the music video, and even their clothes sound and look like they could be from recent times . I’m 20 and it’s easy to see how much they’ve influenced some of the better artists of this era .
Plus Kanye sampled the intro beat on Drive Slow
If they was ahead of their time they would be wack. Hip hop is dead
@ Kasey Hollar...yep. Went to school with one of them and definitely ahead of their time!!!
Dopest beat to flow off
They were not "ahead of their time". They were a reflection of the time. They also took a lot of inspiration from ATCQ and Primal Scream. Comments like these just go to show how new generations think the 90s were some obscure caveman days lmao. I’ve seen comments from kids on Apex Twin and Portishead videos saying the same shit about "so far ahead of their time". 🙄
The West Coast’s version of A Tribe Called Quest, in my opinion. Although they had their own vibe and flavor! Loved this group!
That's why ATCQ and The Pharcyde are my two favorite hip hop groups (at least feel good hip hop)!
@@okaysudo For sure. Different style to these two groups though. I love Wu-Tang and Black Moon. Their first albums were playing non-stop in our graduation limo during prom night in NYC 1994!
Exactly, I used to think they were from New York they had that New York sound.
@@dancatignani_pg.08 mine too
Lateshia Childs Word! You know who else sounded East Coast to me and in this same genre? Souls of Mischief.
1:48 He's upside down while she's running in the background. Symbolically it means she's been on his mind so much to the point of messing his life up ( turn it upside down). A+ directing.
Nice analytics
Great analysis! On point!
The Pharcyde had some great directing for their music videos
As a child growing up mid-90's this was one of the first hip-hop songs to go beyond catching my ear and really resonated with me. Decades later it still can take me back to a simpler, care-free time. Salute to thee P-H-ar-cyde! Hip-hop forever.
Yes.
Will Hip Hop ever be like this again? Probably not, so I cherish gems like this from our youth.
Could happen. Wouldn’t be surprised if people get tired of the nonsense and go back to hip hop music that actually makes sense.
Hip hop. Yes. A few artist that know how to spit real bars. But not as common as before. Rappers now a days are just pure ass. Rare to find an artist with word play.
Gotta find underground artists who actually spit about real topics! They're rare, but they're out here!
Coast Contra... if you like Pharcyde, Tribe, Wu Tang... those young guys emulate the 90s style VERY well while adding their own flair. They're lyrical af too. Don't sleep on them like I did before i finally checked em out. They're legit
it probably won't happen. Remember tho hip hop is always evolving and the same way you feel about this song theres a whole generation who feel the same way to say lil uzi or drakes songs ya know.
I’m a 16 y/o girl and i fell down a hip hop rabbit hole a while ago and happened to find this song. ive been nonstop listening to this for a few months and I’m literally obsessed with the pharcyde now.
Yeah baby
90s hop is it.
Welcome to the world of old school Hip Hop.
If you want some suggestions for other groups, A Tribe Called Quest are very similar and huge favorites of mine. Some particular favorite tracks of mine are Butter, Footprints, Electric Relaxation and Luck of Lucien. Hope you like them. :)
@@BobbyBasketball19999 I also recommend other groups like De La Soul, Foreign Exchange and Souls Of Mischief. I'm 18 and I absolutely love old school hip-hop the shit is the best 🙌🏼
One of my favorite rap songs. Such beats as in the 90s no longer exist and never will!!!
Not entirely true. Several artists sample old songs, including the Pharcyde's Running Away. Didn't Beyoncé sample it? Some guy did too.

That line haunted me for decades
Please explain the line
@@childvspuddle5732 It means that his assumptions were wrong about her and he must come to terms with the fact that she does not have any special interests in him.
@@childvspuddle5732
"A twinkle in her eye" is a term that means someone is conveying some frisky intensions, by a little glimmer in the eye. It's an American idiom indicating sexual interest, seen in a subtle look.
This guy is saying what he understood to be such a glimmer in the girl's eye towards him, turned out to be literally just a glimpse, and she was indeed expressing no interest at all. Dig?

Vocals, tight rhyming, etheric beat, harmony, brass (a horn), theme (perfect girl ignoring you), differing flows and an artistic video.
Great tune and nobody acting hard on the track either. Just good storytelling.
Exactly my point ...the TRUE essence of hip hop is storytelling. ..anybody who can read can put a bunch of bragging rhyme words together. If you look at the best their biggest hits were storytelling rhymes ....meaning the mc's with long careers ...Jay-Z biggie, em, wu tang , nas, beenie, even the fugees ...real talk people really forgot what hip hop was about and how it started.

Literal masterpiece, it’s a shame people don’t talk about it that much, especially since the song was clearly ahead of it’s time, production wise and vocally.
Yep... POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS; Lost Boys; Digable Planets; De La Soul; etc....
This, is my favorite song of all time. I’ve seen them in concert once, KMEL Summer Jam 1993, at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View California. This is real hip hop right here. This entire album is one of the greatest hip hop Albums of all time. Full Stop. If you are into hip hop (youngsters I’m looking at you, I’m 41) Download this album, you won’t regret it!
I'm in East Side San Jose, and I was at that concert too, right before my 20th birthday....106.1 KMEL was a great station, back when Sway was still there, and so was 107.7 KSOL and 97.7 KWSS (in the late 80's) as well....damn this gettin old shit sucks....
Dude I remember the KMEL summer jams. Never went to one but I wish I did. Been to shoreline a few times though.
Going to see Wu in Mt view this summer. Long time fan here...91... Hip hop lives
Cain D.A. where you from cuz?
We grew up in the golden age of hip hop. Its not coming back we just have to appreciate the fact that the 80's and 90's was a good time to be a kid.
This song always and forever will go hard..
my mom just died this morning, and i've constantly had this beat playing within my head. i don't know why, my mom never even heard of pharcyde, or was even a rap fan in general. her favorite band was No Doubt, or maybe, just to appeal to some of the times we had, probably Twenty One Pilots.
i'm only going to college in 2 months and yet this just happened. i probably sound like i'm fishing for attention with this shit, but iunno, i feel this is a possible way for me to cope with everything. is it too much information? most likely. i'm jus a commenter on a good song talking about his recently deceased alcoholic mother, you probably don't need to know about any of it. but again, i guess it's best to let it out. r.i.p. mom, love you

92 man....feel privileged to have been around when not only Hip Hop was good, bit the whole level of music was fantastic. Bands and musicians had something to say and weren't afraid of trying new ways of saying it. It's all manufactured now and I feel for the folks who never got to feel tracks like this when it first came out.
Critically Acclaimed:
This was a different level of art. Forget hip hop for a second and focus on how good this record was, it was beyond hip hop.... this right here, this was one of the greatest records ever made. Of course its hip hop based off the rhymes but this had something special, it was different from what you heard at that time in 90's Westcoast Hip Hop... It was fresh, new, innovative, lyrically sound, sonically sound, it was a masterpiece. The video with them upside down? Then in black in white? Pure Vintage, Classic, classic, classic.. all their verses were good but the last one? That verse made the cypher complete ⭐3:10
That was the perfect verse
Yea, man. They had the formula down. A simple and catchy hook. The verses were melodic and memorable. Great storytelling from everyone. It's a timeless piece. I've been hearing and singing along to this song since I was a kid, but I think right now is the first time I actually listened. Shame on me
Correct...weirdly unique ...instantly recognizable .
The vast majority of rappers just don't do "vulnerable." This is like the ultimate "vulnerable" song. Another reason it stands out.
Like all rap like all old school rap like all hip-hop like all rap 90s
@@joeski734 you're kidding right? A majority of rappers are all about getting their emotions out especially after Kanye and kid Cudi. That may not be the case so much in the 90s but it definitely is now

However many years later, this is still one of the hardest songs out there.

Real hip hop fans know that this beat is one of the greatest beats of all time. So classic, so timeless. Better than the mumble rap that's out now.

Every day after grade school in the early 90s I used to literally jog home from school to see Rap City on Much Music (Canada stand up) and this video and song blew my mind when I first saw it. I still remember seeing it for the first time. And it was the first hip hop song I related to ever. I wasn't rich, or a gangster, these cats talked about normal life, and did it with style. It basically influenced my musical taste for the rest of my life and this is the genesis. Bless you Pharcyde

Lyrics to this masterpiece.
Now in my younger days I used to sport as sag
When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss
Always got mad when the class was dismissed
But when it was in session, I always had a question
I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
Help me with my problem, it was never much
Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
She was married to the man, he was a thug, his name was Lee, he drove a Z
He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock
I was on her jock, yes indeedy. I wrote graffiti on the bus
First I'd write her name then carve a plus
With my name last, on the looking glass
I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
When I dream of fairytales I think of me and Shelly
See, she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me
That I should quit chasin' and look for something better
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her
I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture
I'm shootin' for her heart, got my finger on the trigger
She could be my broad, and I could be her nigger
But all I can do is stare
Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated, not at all over-rated
I think I need a prayer
To get in her book and it looks rather dry
I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
Although she's crazy steppin' I'll try to stop her stride
'Cause I won't have no more of this passing me by
And I must voice my opinion of not even pretending she didn't have me
Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie
She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan
Damn, she looked good, down side: she had a man
He was a rudey, too, a nincompoop
She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop
She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand
By letting her pass I had proved to be a better man
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
And now the world around me be gets movin' in slow motion
Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye
Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?
Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistance
And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence
From a distance I desired, secretly admired her
Wired her a letter to get her, and it went:
My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well
Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp
Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp!
'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
Give a try and consider the one who loves you dearly
P.S. Love me tender
The letter came back three days later: return to Sender
Damn!
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps on passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by
She keeps passing me by

Notice how they changed the pitch of their voices for comical effect. Sort of like B. Real in Cypress Hill.
