I was a little disappointed that he didn't use the beginning of the end sample from the original intro, but that transition was so smooth it was more than worth it.
They definitely do STILL make music like this my friend. I collect rare Jazz/HipHop/Funk/Soul/Electronic/beats on vinyl and a good majority of my favorites within my collection are from the 2010s! You just gotta look. It’s ALL underground.
I just turned 50 a few days ago. This song has been ringing in my spirit the entire time. It’s all I can think about as think about my first half century
Just listened to this beat for 3 hours on repeat 3 days ago and here i am again. I will never get tired of this beat, absolute masterpiece and my favourite Pete Rock beat.
It's music like this that I always play basketball to in life as well. This track, Rakims When I Be On The Mic, Guru Hustlin Daze, Onyx Slam, I could go on for days lol
I loved this beat growing up. And then later in life I discovered Jefferson Airplane's "Today"... the sample comes from a jazz version of it. And all the meanings of these songs are now melding together in my brain. Fantastic stuff.
The first time I heard this beat, it did something to me. I ran out and bought and played the hell out of it. I still feel the same way when I hear it today only a little sadder because those were better times. It did feel like it going through it then, but I’d take that time back in a heartbeat over now…
The first time I became a fan of this track was back when NBA Street Vol.2 came out. I played that game everyday non stop. Loved that game. Then I heard this track play in the background of one of my matches. Went Straight to the options menu and only made this track play anytime I was in a match. Especially through the career mode. Something about hoopin’ to this track just made the game so much cooler. When I think of hip hop I think of this track 🔥😎
Dude, street vol.2 cemented this song into my brain. I can so vividly remember starting up my Xbox just to play this and being blessed with this on start-up. It's literally still stuck in my head after 20 years.
Pretty much the first if not the ONLY thing that comes to mind when I hear this song is me as a kid in middle school, loading up the game, getting to the title screen and letting that shit play while I go microwave my pizza rolls or chicken nuggets.
Hip-hop producers had some of the best ears it’s amazing how they could take bits and pieces of different rackets and come up with a dope ass track. Much respect. I’m glad I go up in that era hip-hop, forever back then and now.
Amazing!! One of the Best Beats, including Lyrics by Pete Rock and CL Smooth that are Relevant today! Classic and Timeless!! Loving the Bass, Drums and Saxophone!!! Thank you for the Upload, Excellent Job!
Funny, I'm 64 years old with eclectic and fairly well-educated tastes in music. I don't recognize where any of this comes from. I just like because it sounds good.
still here 10/2021 ...cant help it, the whole vibe is clear like it was yesterday ((head bob, hands in tha air)) wowwww an now I have it extended instrumental whaaaaa
Damnnnn thank you 24 mins of dopeness !!!! That transition of the sample at the beginning was so smooth (no pun intended) I can't thank you enough for uploading this

the single greatest hip hop beat ever made
I concur.
One of the greatest.... Not the single greatest tho....
@@deejay5102 I would say shook ones pt 2
Electric relaxation is up there too
Any number if given beats have their moment in time but this is no doubt a classic
I can listen to this for 25 minutes straight with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
I know the feeling 😣
You a real one
Same brotha, same... We used to fight for this shit
The transition was smooth, Pete rock and CL would be proud
I was a little disappointed that he didn't use the beginning of the end sample from the original intro, but that transition was so smooth it was more than worth it.
True
I agree! 😎
Clean AF
If hip hop had a theme, this would it💯
Fucking brilliant mate true shit
It is.
Absolutely!!! 💯! ✌️ suuuuuuu!!!
Good lord they don't make beats like this anymore. Stratospheric level of legend right here.
Great articulation my friend!! No better wrdz 💪✊🙏🙌
Thank you 🙏

@@dirtyjoe5694 make a channel! Bring this gold back to community
Finally a comment that does justice
This beat is literally perfect. Zero flaws.
Beautiful ❤️ Summer brezzin' BBQ 90s in MT. Vernon, NY Wilson Wood's Parties. Best teen year's to NEVER come back, Only through this instrumental.❤
No country in the world could make sound like this but America and continues to do so 🇺🇸 ❤
Black American jazz!!!
This is what I imagine hearing when I pass away. peace
If we could all only be so lucky
Jazz gave birth to a son called Hip hop.
All I do is listen to Both and littery Compose Both ..... Since I was a Teen
Im 32 now .
Your Comment is Beautiful ... It is True 💯 God Bless ~1~
Think you mean daughter
this comment.. thats beautiful man
A match made in heaven. For real
@@zion4400 tf
when it came to using horns in the 90's no one did it better than Pete Rock......
This and 93 till infinity 2 of the most iconic beats ever.
Factsssss
200% agree with you!!!
Yeah 93 till is another gem
5000000
Maybe for jazz rap beats those two are the best. I’d say the best two beats of all time are troy and shook ones pt 2
I just turned 50 a few days ago. This song has been ringing in my spirit the entire time. It’s all I can think about as think about my first half century
I was 5 when this song came out and I feel like a little kid dancing in my room every time I hear this song at the age of 35
Early 70s best time to enter this earth. We grew in the prime of Hip Hop.
I’m with you.. I just turned 51 in May🙏🏾
Oh my...
Jefferson Airplane meets Pete Rock & CL Smooth??
😍🤩
The single greatest hip hop beat ever. Nuff props Pete Rock never gets old..
.
LL Cool J - Doin it
Craig Mac - Flava in your ear better
This is one of my favorite instrumentals of all time.
While Troy's death was untimely and tragic...we can at least be grateful that it inspired this masterpiece
Probably the only hip-hop song that makes me sad because I can't help but reminisce about the good times past and the people I've lost along the way.
they reminisce, they reminisce...
Just listened to this beat for 3 hours on repeat 3 days ago and here i am again. I will never get tired of this beat, absolute masterpiece and my favourite Pete Rock beat.
welcome back, i guess you can say you were... reminiscing on this beat
if your here, i promise we will make it.
That transition was smooth AF.
“Let’s paint a picture of someone we love...maybe someone who’s not with us anymore...”
Bob Ross starts blasting...
I can't hear this song without thinking about the greatest Boondocks episode ever.
Yeah...
I walk beside the beast within.😌
Riley wiz here🔥
I ain’t trying to be in here crying right now chief.
I always shed a tear when hearing this because of that one beautiful boondocks episode
what is the episodes name?
@@davidrtrains Riley Wuz Here S1E12
Heard this song for the first time in high school 1991 ,been in love with it ever since!
Why did I tear up? Damn.
Pete Rock said it best....”J Dilla”
NBA Street Vol 2 boys when they reminisce over you.
Played stretch for the extra nostalgia
yessirrrrrrr thats the best sports game fam. where I found this masterpiece as a 6 year old
I scrolled down looking for this. Those games shaped my taste in music. YO ITS YA BOY, DJ CUCUMBA SLICE
It's music like this that I always play basketball to in life as well. This track, Rakims When I Be On The Mic, Guru Hustlin Daze, Onyx Slam, I could go on for days lol
shout out NBA street vol 2 for blowing my mind wth this track as a young kid and forever changing my standard for beats
I can relax with this joint
I have been waiting for an extended version. Now, it is not necessary for me to play the original cut 10 x in a row. 🤔😎
Alleycat1921 word 2 mother!!!🙌🏿
Why the hail isn't it?! It's never not super necessary!!! 😂
@@husasizzle one of those songs where the words are just as moving as the beat
Up early in the AM fixing breakfast and grooving to this reminisce 🥰
I loved this beat growing up. And then later in life I discovered Jefferson Airplane's "Today"... the sample comes from a jazz version of it. And all the meanings of these songs are now melding together in my brain. Fantastic stuff.
Yes!!! Jefferson Airplane!!! I enjoy both versions!!!
nba street vol 2

Rest in peace Trouble T Roy and Heavy D😞
it's pure sacred science musical NEGRES in divine fusion for our God (AMON ra-IMANA-AMUN-AMA-AMON re-AMEN❗️❗️❗️✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🌍🌍🌍🦻🏿🦻🏿🦻🏿🐆 🐆 🐆)
Everytime I start getting lazy and not wanting to hit the gym I throw this jam on and im ready. Brings back memories !!!
This was just auto playing off a random playlist. Wasn’t expecting that transition towards the beginning it gave me chills! Just right
Used to love looping this instrumental on the tables like this.
Remembering the nights I spent Playing NBA street vol 2… good times!
The greatest hip hop instrumental of ALL TIME
“Let’s paint a picture of someone you love…… Perhaps someone who’s not with us anymore” ❤💯🙏🏾
I wake up every morning roll a nice blunt and then listen to 24 minutes of bliss
