All the real hip-hop heads, where you at?! Also, I love that Jeru was in the background with the others! Would've been cool if he spat a little knowledge himself on this track!
That is a true Statement facts I miss the 90 and Early 2000 hip hop music era it was the best and the new shit out now is Garbage 🗑 and I still play my 90 hip hop music for life and to the day I Die 💯💯👍👍👍
One of my all time favs him, nas, ghostface. I mean there are many but i feel common is legit underrated and underestimated for his lyricism music and deep soul
"Some get Range Rovers, some religion change-over Angel on my main shoulder telling me remain sober Token n*gga, game's over ain't no payola in freestyle In battles, I'm warring like a G-Child "- Common
@Christian Barrett the pendulum will swing back that way, even if it doesn’t reach it’s point of origin. Not there yet but I see less people stuck face down in their screens than even last year 🤷🏽♂️
I'm 50 now and when these cats come together and bless us all with spiritual ciphers it takes me back to my truth days when i needed there knowledge and support to help me with my life
But common was from Chicago, I liked the line I’m like chief up in this demonstration. Cheif was the guy you had to pay your dues to on the block, 10%.
This whole track is great... Sadat is such a standout on everything he’s featured on... Edit: can’t help but think of Rafer Alston and that first And1 mixtape when I hear this!!!
This song brings me some of the most intense feelings of nostalgia.. About 14 years ago, myself and one of my best friends at the time (seems like another lifetime) used to play this song every single day. It was seriously some of the best days of my life.. I try not to listen to it as often as I want to, so that way I always encapsulate the feeling of that time in my life whenever I hear it.
Hi-Tek is definitely in my Top 3 of All-Time. Wild underrated. Sun had interludes on the Hi-Teknology that was insane. That 3/4 joint with the guitars inspired so much work from me.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I first heard this song in 2002 as a kid in Pietermaritzburg Kwazulu Natal Scottville South Africa. It changed my life smoking shitty weed with my Nigerian homie who got the SB2 album mailed to him by his partner in the States.
Common, "My Poetry is like penitentiary that attracts visitations, sentences is life". Wow, so true because it's now 2024 and I'm still listening to this since ONE999!⁰
Same the first one is ruined by the incessant Evil Dee shout-outs.......... Makes it a tough listen. SB2 is much better for that reason....... Love those OG Rawkus records though.... I have them all.
This is one of the best hip hop songs of all time hands down; beat, flow, lyrics, multiple legends on the mic at the same time it’s everything you could want
Moving to Germany in March of 99 I had to stay up late for Yo MTV Raps and they played this joint every week. Will always be one my favorite songs. Classic to say the least
I fuck with that little smooth intro talib put at the beginning of this song... I wish he would've did an actual verse on here though... This beat was perfect for him 🔥🔥🔥
First song off the And1 mixtape volume one... this song brings back so many memories...Really makes me sad wishing I could go back to that time in life..
Yesssssssssss man, shit gets me emotional , watched and 1 mixtape vol 1 yesterday morning and it literally took all my stress away for 20 str8 minutes. Never realized those tapes were only 18-20 mins long man, shit felt like forever as a kid, felt like the longest 20 mins as an adult too man. Thank you for this comment man.
@@AlanbongoJones no doubt my brotha I know exactly how you feel and you're more than welcome. I actually met the guys from the And1 mixtape back in the day and got a chance to hang out with them at their hotel. You can't tell you how much I miss those days my man. Nostalgic things can definitely take your stress away. Always look at some of your favorite TV theme songs and anything that makes you happy to help relieve stress. There's a few articles online about it. Much love brotha✊🏾✊🏾

Hi-tek is mad underrated as a producer
Thats cuz the world ain't never ready for the real, and positivity 💯

When this track drop, Common was within my top ten mcs of all time. He is still mad lyrical.
Fr! His last album, _A Beautiful Revolution Part II,_ is absolutely brilliant... he's still a beast!
Common was that guy
One of my all time favs him, nas, ghostface. I mean there are many but i feel common is legit underrated and underestimated for his lyricism music and deep soul

@Christian Barrett Yeah, and everyone is watching those videos on RUclips and enjoying the shit out of them.

Ya boy!
Youngins don’t remember this was the main track on the first And1 mixtape. Knowledge and Understanding. Peace and Love.
Yes! This song and that And 1 tape was a wicked combination!
Hell Yeah!!
Was looking for this comment. That’s how I found this lol that skip tape, perfect combo.

Sadat X murdered his verse! #StyleMCs
@@teddystyles2307 Sadat laid in2 it.👑💪🏾

As a 55 old, listening to this, I get chills remembering how great hip hop was. I used to love her!

I love Soundbombing 2!! I played this album throughout my undergraduate studies. I miss Rawkus Records bringing that real NY Shit
This was ABSOLUTELY in my headphones freshman year walking across campus.
Yes! C/O ‘99 HS
But common was from Chicago, I liked the line I’m like chief up in this demonstration. Cheif was the guy you had to pay your dues to on the block, 10%.
Common and Hi-Tek from the Midwest, not NY.
My ring tone for the past 21 years
This whole track is great... Sadat is such a standout on everything he’s featured on...
Edit: can’t help but think of Rafer Alston and that first And1 mixtape when I hear this!!!
Yes!
Much Luv to All the OL SKOOL HEADZ!! Respect from Germany!
i dunno what it is about this track... but every time I come back here I have to comment... this shit still give me the CHILLS - Hip Hop Holy Ghost
When this video dropped..I truly 4got how much 4 granted we took Sadat x..this song WAS THE JOINT!!!
When Hip Hop made sense
I was born in 1999, damn I'm privileged to enjoy this shit today.
If you get knocked down Black Man. Get up. Dust yourself off and remember the world is yours to. RIP Harold Hunter.

I love this track.
A classic.
Rawkus Records was a hip hop gem.
I remember seeing this video on rap city and video music box back in 99 I still miss the 90 and Early 2000 hip hop music Era classic song 🎵 👌 🙌 👏 🔥 ❤️
One of the hardest Hip-Hop tracks I’ve ever heard.
Hi-Tek is definitely in my Top 3 of All-Time. Wild underrated. Sun had interludes on the Hi-Teknology that was insane. That 3/4 joint with the guitars inspired so much work from me.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Common, "My Poetry is like penitentiary that attracts visitations, sentences is life". Wow, so true because it's now 2024 and I'm still listening to this since ONE999!⁰
Real hip hop. Intelligent lyrics and lyricists at the top of their game 👍
The beat is TIMELESS!! I remember having this RAWKUS CD....for those that don't know, the lead up transition to this song on the album was crazy!
"game's over ain't no payola in freestyle"
One of the illist tracks ever!! So underrated!!
Ìmagine hearing this for the first time. I just did. Common always with the top tier rap.
Me too although I was a Big rawkus fan back then: talib, mos, co flow. Surprising but nice
Rap City when I first heard it. Went to FYE and copped the CD
Awwwwwwww what a beat, what a flow. Long live oldskool.
What.........
The Soundbombing albums are one of the greatest catalogues in Hip-Hop!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Facts !! True HipHop compilation !!
Same the first one is ruined by the incessant Evil Dee shout-outs.......... Makes it a tough listen. SB2 is much better for that reason....... Love those OG Rawkus records though.... I have them all.
That bass hits with my heart
Still a Dope track, Hi-Tek went hard on that beat and all the hip hop artist in the video and Harold Hunter a Dope skater R.I.P.🔥🔥💯
Yo peace to hi-tek for bringing us back and wisdom of the one and only common, talib and brotha Sadat🔥
This is one of the best hip hop songs of all time hands down; beat, flow, lyrics, multiple legends on the mic at the same time it’s everything you could want
Real people do real things. Real beats is forever.
Hip hop classic..they sure as shit dont make em like this no more..
Can't help but sing along to Sadat's verse.
You gotta Just appreciate life, sit back, don’t let it fly right past you.
Talib Kweli dropping 💎
This will never get old still getting it 2022
DJ Hi - Tek one of the best ever
Moving to Germany in March of 99 I had to stay up late for Yo MTV Raps and they played this joint every week. Will always be one my favorite songs. Classic to say the least
How the fuck am I hearing this today! 05-19-24! For the first time in my life! An old school hip hop head!!! Mind blowing! Common underrated forever!
This is one of his best songs, sadly not that well known.
Don't feel bad, I'm just hearing this gem in December, 2024. I'm usually up on my old school hip hop/ rap how this one slipped pass me, I DON'T KNOW 🙄
Had this in my portable cd player on the bus going to school ... rawkus sound bombing the freshest and im still getting mine
Angel on my main shoulder telling me remain sober 💯
Talib is underrated af!!!!
this was serious production from Hi-Tek
The soothing sounds of Sadat X son
What ever happened to the real hip hop? The 90's was the shit. Never again there will be something like the 90's
Song blew my mind when I was a child now I’m 27 and mind still blown 🔥🔥
Love hip hop Black excellence
¡REAL HIP HOP! 🙌🏻🎶🖤🔥

That was the first time I heard this song and 21 years later, I'm still listening to it, and still watching the mixtape.
Classic Hip Hop, man rap will never be the same
Classic music. Being a person from Cali, I miss this era of New York music, it was real hip hop
Common from Chicago
@@spirituallyconscious7774 no shit
Cincinnati In The Building. 💯
The whole Rawkus label/camp were extremely lyrical
Sadat MFn X!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another example of real hip hop and rap will never die
I f’n still love this song. This was my jam.
This is dope and takes me way back! One of my favorite concerts ever was Common and Talib at Amherst College in the early 2000s.
Hi tek is one of the most tightest beatmakers in rap.
This track just hits your soul man
This.... Blackstar's 'Respiration (Remix)'..... GangStarr 'Above The Clouds'...... Some cuts just hit different.
I was born in 1-9-9-9, and I’m still banging this joint in 2-0-2-2.
I fuck with that little smooth intro talib put at the beginning of this song... I wish he would've did an actual verse on here though... This beat was perfect for him 🔥🔥🔥
I’m still listening too soundbombing 2. That’s real hip hop.
First song off the And1 mixtape volume one... this song brings back so many memories...Really makes me sad wishing I could go back to that time in life..

the story behind blackstar collabing with common, til today still astonishes me with the dedication
I keep these in my classical music section, I had to pull over on the highway the first time I heard this joint.
One of the best hip hop compilations ever 🙌 classic
Rawkus...The CTI of HipHop...sample heads and crate diggers feel me on this!
Damn this was 1 of my fav songs growing up this Shit brings back so many memories 💯💯the nineties greatest time period in history 💯
Hot track, just wish Talib had spit a verse
(spat)😊
What about black thought ? He had some of the hardest barz in the rap game
Each one of these rappers have a unique voice and style that cannot be replicated even today
ESPN 30 for 30 "The Greatest Mixtape Ever" brought me here.
MEMORIES!!!
Common and Dat X two of the most unorthodox emcess ever . Boy I took this for granted ….
Wow, so many incredible memories of this track and playing SB 2 over and over.
