As much as I love this line, after reading your comment, I realized I JUST understood how COLD this line was. Damn, Puba might be in the top MC conversation with just that. The flow was so effortless.
Samples: Cal Tjader - Never My Love 0:05 The Honeydrippers - Impeach the President (Drums) Rudy Ray Moore - Rap Session 0:18 DeBarge - I Like It (Vocals) 0:36,1:29
I've been listening to this since Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (12 years), and only now I realize how great of a singer Puba is. You'd think the song would only get old but it's just getting better.
BRO!! Same here!! Love from LatAm. (I loved playing Tony Hawk 2 while listening to this) Btw: Radio by Keith Murray was my most recent discovery xD and I loved it because of the great sample... which I also came to know it's from DeBarge's I Like it... Thanks internet
Man, this brings back memories. The flow of grand puba stands alone. Ideal, Classic. The Beat, the bass line, and the chords, and the sampled I like it by Debarge is Mezmorizing. Damn i miss the sound of what true HIP HOP was back in the 90's. The mess out today is HORRIBLE.
Yeah. Was a good time. Then Wu Tang, Dre, Snoop, and Eminem etc recommericalised it, sold out, and new people came. That's the horde for you. Biting into, chewing up, and spitting out art forms since the dawn of time.
This track should be played whenever anyone asks what it felt like to live in the apex of the hip hop era. It epitomizes the entire aesthetic and sound of Hip Hop and how it became such a global influence.
Every time. It is exactly why I am here now. I was laying in the bed, had just hit the L (mind you.I did not smoke at the time), and said to myself, "Man, I could hear some Grand Puba right now" because I wanted to feel like my senior year of high school. This is one of the most iintelligent comments I have read concerning the culture of Hip Hop.
I have this album..bought it when it came out..I love it..Puba has skills and his flow..would put all of these new cats to shame..some people rap..Puba flows..
It was all about his voice and his flow. That's why in the early 90's Puba was runnin' thangs. You couldn't deny his delivery. One of the best MC's of all time.
Step one: first you grab honey by the waist Step two: then you move at a ghetto pace Step three: then ya look her dead in the face Step four: now its time to leave this place Dope line
A forever classic right here. I can't tell you how many times I come back to this one just to transport back to a time when hip hop was pure & authentic.
damn, i love it how this song recreates the same feelings that i got when i was younger, playing tony hawk and hearing this. as a kid u want to grow up and now i wish i could live 1 day back in that days. nostalgia..........
Now, I remember this. By the Chorus "Oooo and I like it" Damn, i totally 4got about this song. It was way to long since i heard this wit my my sis cruising down Queens, taking the 7 train to 42nd Ave...I'm 23 now and I just live for classic Hip-Hop from da early 90's..and I gotta say Grand Puba did it wit this song!! R.I.P True Hip-Hop!!
he ain´t got the looks to become pushed by mainstream,companies can´t sell clothes with him, isn´t cotroversial enough to create media hypes. he is just an excellent MC, that´s good enough for me.
Fuck is you talmbout?.... Puba had Tommy Hilfiger... You must be a new Jack that can't recognize real MCing....One of the Masters of the craft!!!! He in my top 5
I was born in October 93', but If I had my way, i wish I was born in 1980, so I could have been 15 when this type of music came out its classic, I remember when I was a kid, and my uncles would always play this music on their boom boxes and old panasonic stereo's such good memories, you cant beat this music!! Show your support by blasting it today like it was still 95'!!
Glad I was young to appreciate the 80's & 90's to witness Grand Puba & others in their peak into their prime of their careers to embrace the greatest they gave to become the living legends that him & others are right now. There won't ever be an era like on how pure Hip Hop was in those times. Salute to you Grand Puba Maxwell for making this classic that should had gotten more airplay & recognition without a doubt.
Why the fuck is this beat so godamm hard? I recently loaded up tony hawk underground 2 on my ps2 and this was the first thing that came on. Holy fuck how did i forget how good this song was?
+Nelson xo Don't be embarrased to be born in 2001! You were born into one of the most powerful generations, the generation of technology, where the internet allows us to have our voices heard, where incredible information is readily available on social media, where social and technology innovators are getting younger and younger! I see so many young people under 20 inventing incredible innovations, and the internet plays a big role in making that happen! . I wish i was a teen in this era rather than the early 2000's. Music was great then sure, but i didnt have all the incredible things that youngsters these days have! and fashion is so much better now than it iwas when i was a teen honestly ( i was a teen 2002-2008, worst era lool). Plus, I used to think music these days was bad, until i discovered the underground Hip Hop and RnB scene, if you like check out these artists/producers, - hawk house - soulection - sango (amazing brazilian rnb!)- goldlink - kaytranada - PRYMDPLAZA - The E - Finch Fetti - sabrina claudio (just to name a few) (we still do have great music these days, but its harder to find thats all) much love x
Nuff respect kidda, no school like the old school yeah? I was listening to RUN DMC and Public Enemy back in like '88 (yeah, I bleed old school!!). No need to follow the current is there? You know a fly beat when you hear it and that's a gift my friend!!
20 here and I for one LUV 90's Hip Hop, especially with its distinctive jazzy and soulful minimalistic sound coupled with that amazing Boom Bap sound that just gets me going! But I hope yall old heads don't think FOR A SECOND that most of the shit on the radio represents my generation!
..back when hip hop actually had a groove and could convey some emotion. Not so much focused on how hollow rap is today, but just thankful that this music was ever made and that I got to enjoy it in it's day. Love this tune.
I forgot about this song until earlier this morning. Hell, I bought the album because he was on a Mary J joint. My boy and I rode to this song all summer before we went off to school. Good times, man. Good times.
I love me some Grand puba when I'm relaxing listening to grand pubas jams my mind starts imagining that I'm actually and physically right next to him in the studio watching him record his talented and soothing music. Mmm just imagine

Old classic east coast rap man I miss that New York hip hop
Somebody please bring back the 90's!!!
Ive always said the 90z shouldv lasted much longer ... 10 years wasnt enough
I'm glad I grew up in the 90's...this is a timeless flow
and you say new york city...
I was Partying in the NYC Clubs to this song in 1995 when i was 23 years old ❤❤
Grand Puba was so underrated it’s criminal
I agree 🎉
Wow Grand Puba was doing the Zoom/ Internet Party thing back in the 90's. He so ahead of his time...
This era of music is most definitely missed!!!
I found this gem 13 yrs after it released, now another 13 yrs past the gem is still shining.
Good music never gets old ✌🏿
Word!@@torreador1972
Puba doesn't get enough accolades for his contributions to the game. He was on point with his style, both lyrically and gear wise.
I Agree Kidd👍

I've been listening to this since Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (12 years), and only now I realize how great of a singer Puba is. You'd think the song would only get old but it's just getting better.

Best times ever! When hip hop was fire!
Say that!
Yeah. Was a good time.
Then Wu Tang, Dre, Snoop, and Eminem etc recommericalised it, sold out, and new people came. That's the horde for you. Biting into, chewing up, and spitting out art forms since the dawn of time.
casino3o5 omg🙌🏿🙌🏿💪🏿💯

Smooth flow, typical 90s hiphop. Miss those days
1995, I was 4 when this came out, and still living in NY with my mom.
PoliticalAbstract what's he doing now, just wondering because he's one of the greatest mc's to me.
Grand Puba,needs to be mentioned amongst the greats because he influenced damn near everyone!

I'm energetic, poetic, athletic with good credit so just move like I'm Simon and I said it.

Real Hip Hop will always be underrated.
It was all about his voice and his flow.
That's why in the early 90's Puba was runnin' thangs. You couldn't deny his delivery.
One of the best MC's of all time.

Great song. I remember i was in the 5th grade bumping this on my sony yellow walkman

I just love how simply saying "2000" sounded cool and futuristic, even a mere 6 years from 2000.
20 here and I for one LUV 90's Hip Hop, especially with its distinctive jazzy and soulful minimalistic sound coupled with that amazing Boom Bap sound that just gets me going! But I hope yall old heads don't think FOR A SECOND that most of the shit on the radio represents my generation!

Awesome video, great song & era no doubt Puba.
Pupa is a Master
Grand Poo. Now Rule represent. 🙏🏾👊🏾
I like how Jamar and X are in this vid too.
..back when hip hop actually had a groove and could convey some emotion. Not so much focused on how hollow rap is today, but just thankful that this music was ever made and that I got to enjoy it in it's day. Love this tune.
Wow, i love this cats flow and vibe. One of my buddies put me on this and this is amazing underground. this is really chill.
This is not underground! This is classic hip hop from the 90's. This was played all over the radio and in movies back then.
I stand corrected, sir. I'm just new to him.
Shawn Marlowe
No problem bud, cheers!
I forgot about this song until earlier this morning. Hell, I bought the album because he was on a Mary J joint.
My boy and I rode to this song all summer before we went off to school. Good times, man. Good times.
