That DMX verse is the ESSENSE of that time. He literally broke down a robbery to you and explained the feelings and the thoughts you might be having. LEGENDARY RIP X.
Thank you!! Vets in the game showing these young cats how you perform live. No backing track and the artist rapping every 5th word while their record plays. Big up to LL and all of the others that gave the fans their money's worth. RTB killed Rolling Loud.
That's true. He's moving like he ain't in his mid 50's, but I gotta say I went to about 3 LL shows in his heyday and he was literally running from one end of the stage to the other, jumping up and down and dancing. His live performances have calmed down significantly since then.
You look at the big screens that's what they are there for🥰❤️🖤💚 Hip Hop and concerts are excellent live🥰❤️🖤💚you see and hear things the cameras or mics might not catch❤️🖤💚🥰
LL never disappoints, seen him many times in concert. The first was the Nitro tour in Detroit in 1989 with NWA, Slick Rick and Big Daddy Kane, 34 years later he's still rocking the mic.
LL Cool J is Hard as Hell!!! Battle anybody Idc who you tell!! Be wishing E-Love is standing in the background chilling everytime LL performs "I'm Bad". I was 4 when that album came out and LL became my favorite rapper from there on out! 40yrs later he's the GOAT!
I remember when that song came out, back in the early 80'S!! That RADIO album was the chitt, until BIGGER & DEFFER came out and blasted LL into a different stratosphere!!
Eff what anybody says - BT is the greatest Emcee on that stage. Before you argue with me, Go see The Roots perform LIVE. Afterwards, tell me that there’s ANYTHING Thought can’t do. Bet you won’t. 💯
@@BiffcheeseSpinoccoli that’s the ONE group I have never seen live! They’re #1 on my bucket list. Seen all my hip hop favorites over the last two decades but never once have I been blessed to see the roots live yet. I always check to see if they touring but I don’t think they do anymore. At least not to the west coast where I live.
Going Back To Cali really doesn’t get the flowers it deserves. That track busted down doors to get hip hop in the mainstream. That joint ran on pop radio when it dropped because it was on the Less Than Zero soundtrack. 🔥
Yep, I was thinking that too.🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 Then I remembered, LL brings his OWN MIC (it's gold colored!) He already know, somebody gon set him up and he won't be heard. They respect L, but they out to get him too, though. 😂😂🤣🤣 LL already know...
I was Demoing a drum machine in Sam ash times sq back in da 80s I turned around and LL standing behind me nodding his head to it. Total gentleman took the time to chat. Royalty 👑
I remember when I was a little kid one of my aunt's had a collection of records ⏺️ she had like 2 LL Cool J albums on records we had a record player and LL Cool J still representing hip hop in 2023!! He's definitely the greatest of all time!! 🙂💯✌️🏟️🎵🎶🎵🎶
SO BLESSED TO BE AROUND FOR THE BIRTH OF HIP HOP TO NOW....JAMS IN THE PARK,,,,ROOF TOP IN HARLEM,,,UNION SQUARE,,,,LATIN QUARTER,,,SPOTS IN THE BRONX,,,,ALL OVER QUEENS & BROOKLYN,,,,ALL OVER NYC!!!! LIVE & BREATHE REAL HIP HOP!!!!🤎🤎🤎🙏🙏🙏
Hip Hop is for life,blessed to see iconic NYC hip hip spots like Tunnel,Rooftop,Club Speed,PJ's,Palladuim,Bentleys,Shadow Nightclub,Roseland,Roxy,Latin Quarters play classic hip hop joints that's timeless music.These spots no longer around but gives countless memories.
LL the pioneer. He was the biggest solo artist when he came out. IceT was doing his thing before LL but LL was definitely more mainstream which wasn't a bad thing.
@@Toni-id2pv You are over here looking at LL's concert. Why are you here if LL ain't your 'thang'? You're here because he is a phkng phenomenon and even the haters can't keep their eyes off of him.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!🤎🤎🤎 FROM JAMS IN THE PARK TO ROOF TOP IN HARLEM TO UNION SQUARE,,LATIN QUARTER,,,,SPOTS IN THE BRONX,,,ALL OVER NYC LIVE & BREATHE REAL HIP HOP FOR LIFE!!!!!🤎🤎🤎🙏🙏🙏
I'm going to this show in Vegas. Can't wait. I was hoping that the Roots would play his set. Now I know. Last time I saw him perform we were both teenagers.
RIP the mics that fkd such a momentus moment and shout outs to the 50% of the crowd dedicated themselves to standing completely still and becomming videographers instead of wilin out ;)
Jeru da damaga, special Ed, chubb Rock, Kwame, large professor, 3xdope, Das efx, A Z ...line up was made based on commercial success...so many other solid mc's were left out
Damn L, this would’ve been the perfect time to bring LaShaun on to sing 🎤 Doin’ it and doing it and doing it well!!! She’s been slighted for decades. 😑
How the hell do these people go to see legendary shit and not pay homage by giving them energy. I would have been losing my fcuking mind with all the happy feels...leave them phones in your car and take this shit in.
LL Got that 20 year old energy.

Thank you LL for keeping hip hop alive , your station created all of this !! Keep going my
Brother !!
Having Black Thought as your hype man has to be incredible
Insane right
Exactly! Because the man literally knows every rapp lyrics that's worth being known! 🤯🤯
GOAT shit
Having the ROOTS AS YOUR BACKING BAND!! must be awesome as well
True pros.

R.I.P. DMX! His verse on on 4,3,2,1 will always be a memorable verse to me in regards to impact.

They all killed it at the show!
Imagine going to an incredible live concert just to watch it through your cell phone screen 😢

DMX verse on 4,3,2,1 is legendary plus if he was alive trust me,would've been booked on Rock The Bells lineup
Black Thought covering DMX part...........Solid Af

Yup
Sh!t was Garbage
THIS IS HIP HOP ALL DAY!! DARN I MISS THIS GOOD MUSIC❤...
Crowd would have went crazy if Canibus came out. His verse always gets left out and his verse was one of the dopest.
LL was like “IDGAF whose mic don’t work, make sure my shit is loud!!!!”
Lmao.
I’m kidding but, its great to see everyone there.
Live Hip Hop is elite
Yep, I was thinking that too.🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 Then I remembered, LL brings his OWN MIC (it's gold colored!) He already know, somebody gon set him up and he won't be heard. They respect L, but they out to get him too, though. 😂😂🤣🤣 LL already know...
