"IM CALLING (YEA BABY IM SELFISH) OUT TO (I WANT YOU TO MYSELF I CANT HELP IT!) ALL MY (ALL MY), YOU'RE MY LADY!....." it's in all caps because that's how passionate my brother & i sung this. It didn't matter where my brother & I were in the house. The min one of us started singing the other would be on que with the backup lyrics, This was our JAM! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 good times man 😊 i took my childhood/teen years for granted. I'd give anything to go back for 2min. you ain't NEVA LIE certified timeless classic #foreverourjam #mychildhoodwaslitAF
Slum village is One of my favourite hip hop groups. They represented that hood soulful conscious hip hop vibe like a tribe called quest. Ez up, tainted, hustle, climax, fall in love, hold tight, get dis money are my favourite slum songs that I can think of the top of my head.
@@Pugetwitch i still listen to foreign exchange and little brother. I can't listen to the mumble rap era. So I just bump old school tracks and modern underground hip hop.
What up doe?! I remember seeing Slim Village perform at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit, I lost my voice, and went to work the next day off of three hours of sleep. I was so geeked up from their epic performance. I still listen to their timeless classics. R.I.P. J Dilla and Baatin
As good of an artist Elzhi is, the Fantastic Vol 1 & 2 era of Slum Village was perfection. Post-J Dilla Slum Village was good but there’s no comparison.
... I was there... you are right but keep this in mind... Age and peer-wise, Elzhi was a kid... His vibe from the time that he was 15 was always that, of a stand out solo artist... and honestly '7 Times Down 8 Times Up'... end to end Burner but... his real vibe was held back by being in the group (as a solo artist)... Katz couldn't catch his artistry bcuz, as a NEW artist... in a group... El was trying to stick to that SV vibe... it got him on
Love them!! So poetic with their words and a Soul Power group. I didn't know Baatin had a fall out with Slum Village like that. R.I.P Dilla & Baatin 💗 Can you do one about Camp Lo please?
🎵 I'm calling... Out to.....all myyyy .... Yall my ladies..... 🎵 Kanye verse was so cold on that track.. I played selfish so much when my son was a kid he is now a huge dilla and slum fan... And he's 24 now.. We gotta teach these kids so they keep it going... Rest in Peace to Dilla.. He was just different and we just saw a pinch of what he was truly capable of.. ❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ Great job Ali... Been rocking since day one and you're only getting better..
I came up in the Detroit underground with these guys and others like the Laswonzs Out, 31 flavors and Proofs group Five elements and it's crazy to hear their story after seeing a lot of it first hand they will always be Detroit legends rest well Dilla and Baatin.
Wow that sucks the news about Kurupts album. I actually own it and yeah I thought it was "ok" lyrically Kurupt is always on point but IDK something was missing elsewhere. That album did put out one of my favorite songs. To this day I still blast "We can freak it" that was one of the most laid-back, roll down your windows and ride out, songs ever produced! Battlecat killed the beat.
One of My favorite group for sure... i still listen S.V. LP's to this day... If i got to pick just one track of Slum Village... For me is '' Untitled/Fantastic'' of the LP Fantastic Vol.2 This beat... it's not just fantastic... it's Amazing !
Get dis money and raise it up are my jams..glad to see u cover slum village oh and of course can’t forget selfish and players..Fall In Love is one of the best dilla beats to me
I think the industry generally didn't wanna put out such positivity as slum village and the like. There should always be a 'slum village, d12, pharcyde, Dilla, Tribe, Citizen Kane, De La Soul, Madlib, MF DOOM,' place in hip hop. But its more profitable to sell something else than young dudes having musical fun. These dudes my favourite emcees possibly. Made me question the way I like rap. That simplicity and off the dome messing around can be the best thing ever, its so personal and light hearted fun.
I never knew slum village went through all of those changes over the years!! I first heard of them at the time they made the song called raise it up amd didn't listen to them again until the song tainted and bought the trinity album which I really liked. Then after the song titled Do you, I never listened to the groups music again!! After seeing this video, I'll have to go and pick up where I left off listening to their catalog!!
Please revisit the selftitled album that came after Detroit Deli. That album is so underrated. Also, Black Milk definitely deserved a mention, before Young RJ produced solo he and Milk were a duo called BR Gunna. Them alongside Kareem Riggins took over when Dilla left. Them BR Gunna Tapes we’re fire too.
Glad you mentioned that album. That's probably the era for BARS from SLUM. T3 really went to a other level messing his melodic flow with noteworthy lyrics along with Elzhi penning bars to flow more in pocket. All that made for better songs in the post Dilla Era.
Yes sir, just listened to it a couple days ago. Elzhi’s last verse on “1,2” is some of the illest ish I’ve heard in my life. Heard the verse 100 times and still can’t figure it all out. If you don’t know check it out, it will leave your jaw dropped to the floor. Simply incredible word play.
This is really devastating for me..I loved Slum Village so much when I was going through a tough time in 2000-2004 and those blues tones were resonating in my bones..I’m missing them so much I guess…
I will still forever regret missing one of their last concerts before Dilla passed. I was sitting at a pub in Greektown waiting for the show to start. I eventually realized that I read the schedule wrong. I sprinted from Greektown to the Renaissance. When I arrived, the area was packed, the musicians were pounding their instruments, and the stage was empty.
Dope Content and Video Thank you. FYI if an album does not have a major label machine behind it or a huge budget 9 times out of 10 its not gonna make the bill board charts. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t dope.
Slum Village represented the D fr! Loved them growing up. I haven’t kept up with how they sound now. My mind is blown by the fact that they got RJ Watkins for that video lol
LEGENDARY HIP HOP GROUP!!!! Dilla your favorite producer's favorite producer!!! Just ask Q Tip, Pete Rock, Kanye, Pharrell, DJ Premiere, RZA, Questlove, Alchemist, D'Angelo, Timbaland, The Beatnuts, Just Blaze, and Dr Dre!! All of them as well as others have given it up to Dilla! You could even ask Prince if he was still alive. And also Jimmy Jam who took credit for Dilla's work with Janet Jackson. R.I.P. Jay Dee and Baatin!!! LEGENDS! Timeless music!!!
SELFISH will forever remain that hit that is an timeless classic that’s my joint always❤ YAAASSS BABY IM SELFISH I WANT YOU TO MYSELF I CANT HELP IT HEEEYYYY❤ AND MY CONDOLENCES TO THE MEMBERS THAT WENT ON TO BE WITH THE LORD PEACE N BLESSINGS UNTO THEIR FAMILIES AS WELL R I H❤
Young RJ's dad RJ was the main reason for El's departure. He was ran the biz into the ground and screwed over El. El was mad because T3 didn't have his back.
Was lucky enough to see a slum village show in Sacramento a few years back. Respect to T3 for carrying on the legacy. I noticed that Young RJ vocals sound similar to Baatin so seeing the old songs live still have a good feel and sound.
Slum is definitely one of my favorite groups and yes they are underrated. We also need to speak on how they always were able pull out stars ahead of time Dwele and then Kanye? Especially back then its not like today where you record and drop the track a week later. A lot had to be cleared so you know they got that Ye verse before that and timing was impeccable.
Yeah them was the dayz back on 7-mile going to st Andrew's hall and chillin @ the hip hop shop Rip young Dilla you made some amazing music reppin the city and slum village are unsung in the game they never get the recognition they deserve
Hip Hop groups is always a bone of contention..most have split and gone their own ways. I guess that's just how it is in life, we go out the way we came in..by ourselves.
Good video but just a little constructive criticism. The background music is a bit distracting. If you're gonna have something play the whole time on repeat try and find some music that fits in the background more and turn it down a bit. Just a word of advice. Other than that great video very informative
Heard Fantastic Vol. 2 back in 2000. That along with Blackstar in 1998 and Common’s Like Water for Chocolate was the only hip hop I was listening to, I was starting to become disheartened by the end of the golden age
I saw them when I was 14 in 2004 @ Earthlink Live in ATL. Along with Bone Crusher they opened up for.... D12. So weird. But It was the D12 World album concert. I'm a huge Shady fan and Eminem wasn't even fucking there. But I loved the concert and saw Proof b4 he passed away. RIP.
... Jay Dee left the group... because they sucked... and weren't going to get any better... Most of the concepts came from jd... ALL of the beats came from jd... If he had stayed, he would have never grew as an artist and would have at best been, nothing more than a CRUTCH for the group... FACTS!
Elzhi said that RJ Rice is the poison of Slum Village. RJ had El taken off of half of the album, including “Reunion Part 2.” To add insult to injury, they shot a video for “Reunion Part 2” and T3 still says El’s name in the song. El felt that 3 was taking shots at him in the song. The issue El had with RJ is that El got a new manager and he wanted to see the books. T3 is lame for allowing RJ to take Elzhi off of half of the album. Elzhi left the group before Villa Manifesto was released. T3 said the Elzhi was more focused on being a solo artist. There used to be a video on RUclips where T3 was being interviewed and Phat Kat called in to call T3 out by saying that T3 knew that Manifesto would be the last album (which obviously, it wasn’t). DJ Dez also called in to call 3 out. It’s a sad situation. On another note, at the end of “We’ll Show You,” Dilla was being interviewed and he said that he was only on 2 joints, which turned out to be “Scheming” and “Earl Flinn.” I could be wrong about that, though, seeing how Dilla died in ‘06, so don’t quote me on it.
Its actually like this: Barak Records folded before villa manifesto, then the RJ estate opened up neastra records, which means slum village had to sign a new contract. This was an opportunity for eLZhi to negotiate a fair contract and Neastra basicly couldnt handle that situation as they basicly didn't expect it to happen, while they where starting a brand new venture as the old venture did not exist anymore and thus there were no valid old agreements in play anymore. From that point on a contract never got signed but they kept recording. Which means Elzhi was recording as a free agent basicly. Then they basicly started to do "group stuff" without letting eLZhi know. Interviews, shows, music videos etc. At which at one point it became a public thing like wtf is going on. Thats why that radio interview was so epic. T3 and Neastra where really not handling the whole thing professionally at all. They kinda let the shit show take place. The fact that they went to the point of cutting elzhi of songs, it was a petty move to show power, as they did not actually have the balls to kick him out of the group, they knew they were wrong but still wanted to flex their power, it makes the whole villa manifesto album such a dark thing which gives it a unique vibe actually. But it was a strange thing. Nowadays Slum Village is no more then a cash grab to do tour shows for audencies that don't get they get a spin off, not the actual thing. Same stuff is up with the pharcyde, fuck that shit.
@@BikkelTV Thanks for the info. I just spoke on what El said in an interview. I may have been wrong about him wanting to see the books. Anyway, I was hoping that one day they would release the album with all of Elzhi’s verses. I can’t even listen to “Reunion Part 2.”
“Damn I’m from the WestCoast and I been rocc’n wit Slum Village since I heard selfish but I always wondered what happened with J Dilla & Baatin and know I know Damn this is sad they were one of the best groups hands down”💯
Slum Village didn't have the commercial appeal. But they had legendary songs, my opinion. Real music lovers appreciate them.
Commercial appeal and lasting art are two entirely different things.
The content was not what was popular at the time, I like dudes but friendly music as we know is devalued
I miss that Neo Soul Hip Hop era of The Early 00's.
We all do man
@@negusrbg500 that was the Era of Soul Rap music. 💯
Man I miss it so much
I definitely miss it
Those were the days. When is Cool being a Nice Guy, Everybody is different. Nowadays, Everybody the same, everybody wanna be a Gangster or a Piru
Elzhi is the most underrated artist out! No debate
facts.. Nas should have signed him after that tribute album.. Nick Grant is dope too but Elzhi the man
@@brandongaskins9045 Yeah that Elmatic was classic! Not many that could've pulled that off
@@mrtiggah7 Exaxtly, he made a classic out of a classic album.
It’s a tie between him and phonte from little brother lol
@@OfficialFKZTv Debatable 😂
Born and raised in Detroit I really was rooting for them to be a huge success. Their style etc was out the Box. Very talented Brother's indeed
That song "Selfish" by Slum Village with Kanye West & John legend is a timeless Classic💯
"IM CALLING (YEA BABY IM SELFISH) OUT TO (I WANT YOU TO MYSELF I CANT HELP IT!) ALL MY (ALL MY), YOU'RE MY LADY!....." it's in all caps because that's how passionate my brother & i sung this. It didn't matter where my brother & I were in the house. The min one of us started singing the other would be on que with the backup lyrics, This was our JAM! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 good times man 😊 i took my childhood/teen years for granted. I'd give anything to go back for 2min. you ain't NEVA LIE certified timeless classic #foreverourjam #mychildhoodwaslitAF
@@JordanWilliams-ix2tdYou nailed them lyrics💯
eLZhi obv laid a dope verse as usual but kanyes verse on selfish is definitely his top three on my opn
@@dazziboi5726 easily! 💯🔥
I liked the song "I See Y'all" with Busta Rhymes. I think there was one more.
Anyway, I really enjoyed that album.
Climax Girl Sh*t and Players are my FAVORITE 2 Slum Village songs. They neverrrr get old to me!
RIP Jay Dilla and Baatin😥
Climax & especially Players is my favorite!
Classic!

Slum Village has been dropping heat for years post Dilla. Their projects are still great.
This is when neo soul was heavy logical music was everything
Facts
Donuts was mostly complete before he was confined to the hospital. It was The Shining that he really did alot of work on from the hospital bed.
Fantastic Vol. 2 is one of the best hip-hop albums ever, wish things could have gone smoother between all members as the years went by
The group was always this close to blowing up. The mind boggles.
As good of an artist Elzhi is, the Fantastic Vol 1 & 2 era of Slum Village was perfection. Post-J Dilla Slum Village was good but there’s no comparison.

I think the industry generally didn't wanna put out such positivity as slum village and the like. There should always be a 'slum village, d12, pharcyde, Dilla, Tribe, Citizen Kane, De La Soul, Madlib, MF DOOM,' place in hip hop. But its more profitable to sell something else than young dudes having musical fun. These dudes my favourite emcees possibly. Made me question the way I like rap. That simplicity and off the dome messing around can be the best thing ever, its so personal and light hearted fun.
I still listen to their music till this day
They are a remarkable group in history. Their music is timeless.
This group was slept on Tainted is still my joint and I still listen to Detroit Deli and yup Selfish is still a dope joint too.
WoW never knew so much about Slum Village Good sh*+ Ali!!!! But yo bring on that WHT Nappy Roots or Lil Brother!
I need to see one on little brother ASAP lol
I was there. Slum Village is the iLLest ever. Thise shows at St. Andrews Hall/The Shelter were Incredible. Best times of my life. Det/313..

The first song I heard was get this money, I had to buy the CD, can't believe it's been over 20 yrs.!!!!!!!
Same here!! I heard it in a record store. Lost my mind!
He never lied about that Kurupt double album. I think the only single was We Can Freak It.
“Setup” and “Gimmie What Cha Got” were also singles.
Slum Village represented the D fr! Loved them growing up. I haven’t kept up with how they sound now. My mind is blown by the fact that they got RJ Watkins for that video lol
You have to do Little Brother
Elzhi did a verse about Baatin, itzs the last verse on 'reunion' by slum village, heart breaking lyrics to hear .
Here might be a good battle: Slum Village vs Nappy Roots
I wonder what happened to nappy roots 🤔
Best underrated group ever!
Was waiting for this 🔥💪🏽🙏🏽
T3 held SV down for years till this very day. I respect that

Selfish is still my shit till this day ❗ & the person on the last verse literally started drake's career lol
They just dropped a new album and it slaps! Hip-hop hip-hop!!
Classic Album Fantastic vol
I was just thinking about what Happened to Slum Village.Loved the joints Selfish and Tainted. R.I.P Dilla.
It’s crazy to think how ill baatin was as a MC Deff super super underrated MC
Hip Hop groups is always a bone of contention..most have split and gone their own ways. I guess that's just how it is in life, we go out the way we came in..by ourselves.
Fantastic vol 2 is easily one of my favorite records. Any genre...
*And Fan vol. 1 is one of the illest, most raw joints ever*
Good video but just a little constructive criticism. The background music is a bit distracting. If you're gonna have something play the whole time on repeat try and find some music that fits in the background more and turn it down a bit. Just a word of advice.

Untitled/Fantastic is my favorite song by SV. RIP Baatin RIP J Dilla
I legit never knew a Fantastic vol 1 existed.
Very interesting. Proof that the original formula can never be replaced. Once Dilla went on, the group was never the same.
the album slum village of 2005 is fire, fantastic and call me are the best songs in my opinion
Spice Adams ALWAYS has Selfish instrumental on his Playa and haircut videos
was a big fan, Saw them open for Tribe called Quest. Saw ALL the Jaylib shows with Madlib,
Jay Dee/J Dilla stopped working with the group and preforming with them cause he was out shinning them
Right & he was producing music for other big artist he was getting paid big time
... Jay Dee left the group... because they sucked... and weren't going to get any better... Most of the concepts came from jd... ALL of the beats came from jd... If he had stayed, he would have never grew as an artist and would have at best been, nothing more than a CRUTCH for the group... FACTS!

T3 is lame for allowing RJ to take Elzhi off of half of the album. Elzhi left the group before Villa Manifesto was released. T3 said the Elzhi was more focused on being a solo artist. There used to be a video on RUclips where T3 was being interviewed and Phat Kat called in to call T3 out by saying that T3 knew that Manifesto would be the last album (which obviously, it wasn’t). DJ Dez also called in to call 3 out. It’s a sad situation. On another note, at the end of “We’ll Show You,” Dilla was being interviewed and he said that he was only on 2 joints, which turned out to be “Scheming” and “Earl Flinn.” I could be wrong about that, though, seeing how Dilla died in ‘06, so don’t quote me on it.
Its actually like this: Barak Records folded before villa manifesto, then the RJ estate opened up neastra records, which means slum village had to sign a new contract. This was an opportunity for eLZhi to negotiate a fair contract and Neastra basicly couldnt handle that situation as they basicly didn't expect it to happen, while they where starting a brand new venture as the old venture did not exist anymore and thus there were no valid old agreements in play anymore. From that point on a contract never got signed but they kept recording. Which means Elzhi was recording as a free agent basicly. Then they basicly started to do "group stuff" without letting eLZhi know. Interviews, shows, music videos etc. At which at one point it became a public thing like wtf is going on. Thats why that radio interview was so epic. T3 and Neastra where really not handling the whole thing professionally at all. They kinda let the shit show take place.
The fact that they went to the point of cutting elzhi of songs, it was a petty move to show power, as they did not actually have the balls to kick him out of the group, they knew they were wrong but still wanted to flex their power, it makes the whole villa manifesto album such a dark thing which gives it a unique vibe actually. But it was a strange thing.
Nowadays Slum Village is no more then a cash grab to do tour shows for audencies that don't get they get a spin off, not the actual thing. Same stuff is up with the pharcyde, fuck that shit.
@@BikkelTV Thanks for the info. I just spoke on what El said in an interview. I may have been wrong about him wanting to see the books. Anyway, I was hoping that one day they would release the album with all of Elzhi’s verses. I can’t even listen to “Reunion Part 2.”
“Damn I’m from the WestCoast and I been rocc’n wit Slum Village since I heard selfish but I always wondered what happened with J Dilla & Baatin and know I know Damn this is sad they were one of the best groups hands down”💯
