If we only knew we were living in the golden hip-hop era during that time, we wouldn't have taken it for granted... we'll never get hip-hop like this again
I knew it was the Golden Era.. that’s why I wasted thousands on tapes & CDs.. times were different then you really had to be real to even appreciate the music..
Nature set the tone he did not play he apply pressure out the gate I won't be surprised if one of them heard that and said f*** that I'm doing my s*** over big up nature... oh don't get me wrong everybody pissed on this b****
Exactly....he was never slept on...fact is a lot of dudes back then didnt wanna rap with him...theres plenty of stories out now about how he'd wait in the studio and guys were intimidated with his raps. Only wish Biggie lasted 1 more year to see what would have culminated from Pun.
@@casketman14 Yeah it's crazy that we didn't even get to see him grow as a lyricist the way we saw guys like Nas, Jay, Em, Jadakiss, Styles etc. I can only imagine how much sharper and polished his skills would have gotten over the last 20 years.
@@mateocalderon6822 I heard stories like that. Joe said Pun called him mad because Flex wouldn't let him into a Hot 97 freestyle session he had invited him to because DMX and mainly Canibus was complaining that he didn't want him there. You can tell Canibus had some animosity towards him in that round center cypher they did by his reaction after Puns went. Plus Pun asked him to be on the Capital Punishment album and Canibus was a no show so they threw Wyclef on the song instead.
His verse on blood money part 2 was nice, and also unreleased tracks “magic and bird” track with nore, or “triple threat” with nore n nas… Add that joint with AZ too - love is love
Still 🔥🔥🔥decades later. Too many people have freestyled to this beat however NONE will EVER measure up to The Original Rap Artists on this Song💯🎯💥💥🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💜❤
Cant say this was the birth of the back and forth, ghost and rae did it on right back at ya, and smif-n-wessun did it on 1,2 pass it. Someone I'm probably not considering probably did it before them. But jada and styles def a great intro to the style, one of the best 1-2 in hip hop history.
Yeah, that reminds me of when Raekwon and Ghostface did that on the Iron Man album 260, but they also did that on Wu-Tang Forever on MGM. Good pairing both cases
One of the greatest posse cuts in Hip Hop history. Nature it holding down, Big Pun the height of his powers, A young hungry Cam'Ron , Jadakiss/Styles chemistry elite & of course a enthusiastic Norega with crazy energy. Kudos to Swizz Beatz talk about a legacy.
Yeah Nore said that on Drink Champs once, they went out to eat or something and he went in there and dropped fucking fuego on the track so they kept it in.
But his rhyme scheme was weak . . . and hip hop suffers from occasional free-styling like that. Flow - 10 Wordplay - 8 Style - 10 Lyricism - 4 (should be 6 or 7 but the lip taster and big racist line was off)
Cam should of done his verse right after the LOX this is a New York late 90s classic and swizz was letting his wings out by this time and probably one of his few beats that stand the test of time
Hip Hop with Lyrics has and will ALWAYS MATTER... That's why I can't listen to most,well Nealy all new stuff, they've nothing to say. Not capable of setting a scene the mood and tell a story while making it rhyme with a sick flow. To me That IS HIP HOP. BUT that's just my opinion...
Mad to hear that this beat was only the INTRO for the full instrumental 😮 ( it had more drums etc to come) When recording Someone looped just the intro alone, when Swiss beats had walked out the studio (maybe they only liked that bit) and when Swiss heard it later it was made into a full song He’s still pissed off all these years later 😂
Thank god I grew up in the 90s... kids these days just as blessed maybe even more so in fact, cause they have classic stuff like this at their fingertips
One of the best songs of all time. If Kiss and Styles ever make an entire album going back and forth, it would be a treasure that I would listen to every single day...that Nature verse is just on another level of greatness

I used to live in the US and for a while every day I was a white guy on a train full of black people. They never sat beside me but I don't blame them, because white people were weird around black people there too. One day one of them got on at the MLK stop and had a Bluetooth speaker playing this so I noted down a bunch of the lyrics and googled them to find this song. Then I played it every day in my headphones on that train. It's one of my favourites and reminds me of good times passing through someone else's world.
This Beat has a New York Sound all the way & they Had the Right Rappers on it
Probably Swizz Beats

For me, it's Nature on this & Inspectah Deck on Triumph --- my 2 favorite opening verses on posse cuts.
Pun verse still give me chills 🔥🔥🔥

Never Pun was a Legend. Every rapper will tell you that.
Ya no one wanted it with pun. He wasn’t slept on by anyone
Jada and P flowing back and forth so nicely
Yo was just thinking about that.. this rap nowadays don’t compare
This a fucking Classic, Mixtape Weezy went in on this too, No Ceilings.....whew!!!
As always
No others rappers can dip in on each others bars with so much fucking class.
Would have been fucking fire with Sheek on it too
Word… like Smif n Wessun!!!
The way Pun rhode this beat was pure magic. Everyone else was pretty much on a stop and go flow flow amd Pun was like a machine gun flow on it.

I used to live in the US and for a while every day I was a white guy on a train full of black people. They never sat beside me but I don't blame them, because white people were weird around black people there too. One day one of them got on at the MLK stop and had a Bluetooth speaker playing this so I noted down a bunch of the lyrics and googled them to find this song. Then I played it every day in my headphones on that train. It's one of my favourites and reminds me of good times passing through someone else's world.
Interesting story
You witnessed a snapshot into another world and the song you found was the perfect track to that background
