@@ScottR3389 There are quite a few gems from this era ppl don't know about. I kinda just laugh when I put ppl on because I know how much a person's perspective can be shifted from just one track.
I don’t care what anyone says, TDE in the early days were all about lyrical ability and that is what made them everlasting. You can see how much they want to be the best with every bar, it comes with emotion. I like young money but man when I smoked and listened to ab soul, kdot, Q and Jay rock I was there listening to every bar ‘ so fire 🔥
Sam Smith he also said kendrick outperforms everyone, which is not true.. people treatin kendrick like a god for some reason, he has so many other people matchin him right now its crazy
this song has SOOO many punch lines, its almost impossible to pick which 1 you want to quote. every line they drop BOMBS. this isnt a song, its a display of pure lyrical talent and charisma on the top level.
Dude seriously it's not even a joke..if they both made a mixtape i think that would be it for hiphop lol Ab-Soul and Lupe should make a mixtape too based on that song "Horns & Thorns"
Doesn't mean they can't be compared for what one does better than the other tho. Comparison doesn't have to be a derogatory thing just cause you see who does what better. If we're all special in our on way, comparing is just to highlight what makes each special. It isn't necessary, doesn't mean it can't be or shouldn't be done for the analytic who keeps up with attributes for fun, like myself
I've never heard two people go back to back and destroy a song the way these two dudes killed this one. "I follow no RULER, even if I'm under drastic MEASURE.." WOW.
“But my mind is like a wizard, I define the laws of gravity every time I get high and write a sentence. Back teeth never been in agony but I have wisdom” gah damn 😮💨
Can we just be happy that we were blessed with such talent? Ab-Soul and Kendrick both put faith back in hip hop and encouraged people to focus on the flow and the story that Hip-Hop was created for. I don't prefer either over the other, I just feel lucky that I can listen to both of them.
It’s 2020 now & looking back when I used to bump this over & over...fuuuck this track still bangs. Bars on bars on bars!!! You can hear the hunger in Soulo & Dot!
I love how communal this track has made everyone listening to it become. This track is so nostalgic, just purely for the insane combo between these two. Soul and Dot are surely pushing each other for the best on the track and it shows on the response we all give. Legendary track.
Kendrick Lamar has said that Soul is the greatest rapper alive, that definitely says a lot. It really comes down to a matter of opinion. Personally, I feel like soulo's lyrics are much more pure, but kendrick's delivery is much stonger.
2:35 Kendrick is a time traveller because he travelled to the future and opened fire on a track with Future( Like That). He then travelled back and got on this track to let you know his the first shooter. 🙇🏾♂️ He cleared the set on that Drake & Cole diss.
this track is pretty tough. Id love to hear a ab-soul/kendrick lamar album. def the 2 best out the group. Schoolboy and Jay Rock are dope too, but these 2 are on another level
"You spend more time boasting about what you do then you do, so by the time ya shit is do its doo-doo." Always with the witty word play. Tree of Life is still one of my favorite songs because of the end of the song when he was doing the Soul alliterations. Soul Brother number two, soon to be Soul Brother number one.
I feel like Kendrick and ab soul are the best together, they really go perfect with flow and Kendrick's style is amazing every time with soul. Of course they still are amazing even with the rest of TDE
I miss these days. Im grateful for my life now but this takes me back to some golden days with the close close homies/family I thought id still be running with. No worries then except getting money and having fun. Now it's just 2 out of 5 of us left and only me jamming this. Like Ab says tho, "Life Is Crazy"

Both of them at this level?? Nah the world still aint ready for that.
😂 damn near like lux and daylyt man the matrix is crazy 😭
bruh you aint fuckin lyin!!!!!!!
10+ years later still can’t get enough of this song😌
saaaameeee
You know this!!!!!!!
what a time when this dropped man. Very nostalgic
man my first year on this song i know it's going to age well i see myself driving my dream car playing this on the way home from the dealership.
We here!!
"You spent more time boasting about what u do then you do so by the time your shit is due it's Doo Doo" That line still trips me out lmao
and who knew that too cool fool that used to slip.......
Yea that shit is crazy!!!!
OMG!!!!! SOUL IS ...... CRAZYYYY😭😭😭
Maybe the best bar about do do, definitely top 5
Like this nigga different 🙃🙃🔥
Ageless. Timeless. This will forever transcend any era of rap.
🗣
And people don’t even know about it !! That’s what trips me out. This shit is pure Gold.

“back teeth never been an agony but i got wisdom” bro wtffff 😭😭
🥶 🔥
They only know Not Like Us,
been rocking with Kendrick since the beginning...
Feels good to know we recognized a generational talent from the jump.
We about a week from 2024 and I still can't get pass " and I follow no ruler even if I'm under drastic measure" 🤧🔥
But whatever
That's why he's number 2 all time
Anyone still listening in 2024?
Yes! It’s too 🔥! A classic!
New to me today
Hardest Rap song of all time honestly
This shit is hard still😭
Hell yeah
I don’t care what anyone says, TDE in the early days were all about lyrical ability and that is what made them everlasting. You can see how much they want to be the best with every bar, it comes with emotion. I like young money but man when I smoked and listened to ab soul, kdot, Q and Jay rock I was there listening to every bar ‘ so fire 🔥
The chemistry between these 2 men on this track is unreal.
yeah it's just perfect! love this song and this WestCoast instrumental!
On most tracks that they are on
Nothing but net
Allielua
Good song
Been listening to this track since 2011 and I still get surprised at how good these bars are
It's 2024 and it still a banger this shit ain't getting old
Classic style never goes out of fashion because it's style not fashion.
Will never get old man
Not at all
11yrs later and I’m still bumping this, such a classic track
ill NEVER forget this song.
frfr i see through your true colors like stained glass
Timeless
I think ab soul bring the best out of kendrick, kendrick always out performs everyone on there songs ab soul makes it hard for him to do that
Best shii i ever heard on opnions of these two
Exactly bruh
+Ali Shuber he said soul brings out the best of him not every feature damn
Sam Smith he also said kendrick outperforms everyone, which is not true.. people treatin kendrick like a god for some reason, he has so many other people matchin him right now its crazy
+Ali Shuber was Kendrick really spitting on money tree? That's a reach if you really wanna call that getting bodied lmao
They could be the greatest duo of all time with just one album 😭
Man !!! 🎯🔥
They bring the best out of each other.
Just imagine 👁️🗨️ it truly would
They ARE
Damn I ain't heard this joint in almost 10 years, brings back high school memories...
"They say that pressure bursts pipes, but I ain't never had to deal with plumbing in my life"... now that's a BAR!!
Thank Goodness someone gets that!
@@cebolakhentuli2586 one of my favorite bars ever. This shit went over everyone’s head.
Maàan
@@wholesomet3930 that one and also "bad teeth, never been in agony but I got wisdom" KENDRICK
Drake shouldn't have gone against this dude.
imagine if he went against ab-soul
@@tshianelomatshomo4271 I feel like dot & soul are twins man
That would have ended him lmao..soul is not to be touched ❤
@@lebogangmahori6126 no lies detected
He was warned a lot of times. Jesus of Nazareth of the rap Game.
Man the nostalgia from back when I was a teen entering adulthood listening to this..
"I follow no ruler even if Im under drastic measure" -SOUL..... goddamn haha
Dat wordplay doe
+walid amin but whateva
I've been listening to this song for years and never caught that
me neither.. lol He's the only rapper that I've ever listened to where I catch lines like months and years after my first listen..
G Weekes I spit like sit the tip of my dick on ice and that's intense imagine if I already came twice......damn
This is one of the best tracks I ever heard.
Facts bro! It's like each verse gets better throughout the song
William Craig EVA EVA BRUV
William Craig you need to listen to more artists; all analogies, little content.
I would say the same if it was just Kendrick the other guy is garbage.
On god!
"my back teeth have never been in agony but i've got Wisdom" BAR !!!!
TIME STAMP?
@@TariqAmazin 1:56-2:04
Absolute bar
The metaphors and double enrrendres are CRAAAZY!!! THIS TUNE STILL HITS DIFFERENT !!
This track so hard
this song has SOOO many punch lines, its almost impossible to pick which 1 you want to quote. every line they drop BOMBS. this isnt a song, its a display of pure lyrical talent and charisma on the top level.
Tommy black was ahead of his time with this beat
These are some of the nicest bars I've ever heard!
Ab-Soul in the top 5 rappers of today for sure
so high i almost replied to my own comment "no doubt about it" LOL!!!!!
Gold Soul Toker lmfao high times!
Gold Soul Toker Lool that is jokes
Him and Kendrick #1. Then everyone else.
I would like the comment, but I don't wanna fuck up the 47 likes on it ;)
soul and kendrick are a deadly combo
Dude seriously it's not even a joke..if they both made a mixtape i think that would be it for hiphop lol Ab-Soul and Lupe should make a mixtape too based on that song "Horns & Thorns"
+kobron1559 soul and lupe would be nuuts
+kobron1559 That song was sick! I hated the instrumental though. but Soul and Lupe definitely spit flames on that track
It has already happened my friend
mortal
Ab snapped on that first verse . 🤧
They had the best chemistry rapping together. They should’ve put out way more songs.
One of my favorite of Ab-Soul and Kendrick. Listen to them go bar for bar
A decade & 2 cars later this joint still hottttttt🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ruclips.net/video/oPeRqeORF80/видео.html
Can’t let this era go!!
fr
Lol that’s my exact life two cars and everything
Ab soul really sets the tone for this masterpiece with that first line.
Ah someone of culture
Anyone here after the OvHoe beef??
"This ain't a construction site but you know the drill"-Ab-Soul
that was a simple line
@@iafigueroa91 facts soul get way deeper
@@iafigueroa91it is but his wordplay is so smooth
On the real/rail
@@iafigueroa91lmao chose the weakest bar in the whole song
Need a rapper shit part 2
The precision of the verses , are a samurai swords
Exactly. Comparing the two is just unnecessary. The greatness of one has no effect on the greatness of the other.
Just the fact u gotta say this is sad.
Doesn't mean they can't be compared for what one does better than the other tho. Comparison doesn't have to be a derogatory thing just cause you see who does what better. If we're all special in our on way, comparing is just to highlight what makes each special.

FACTS!
Yall witnessed the beef right?
Seeing Kendrick and Ab-Soul perform 6:16 in LA at the Pop out concert reminded me of this classic😩🔥🔥🔥
Oh my god bro. This, Illuminate, and Turn Me Up. 3 million plays each by myself during high school.
Bro those 3 are the ones!
I've never heard two people go back to back and destroy a song the way these two dudes killed this one. "I follow no RULER, even if I'm under drastic MEASURE.." WOW.
Shaune Harvey mustve never heard jadakiss and styles p go back and forth
They say 'Pressure bust pipes,and I ain't never had to deal with plumbing in my life '. Mind the 'And that's a BAR'.
@@joeyhiii6326 all respect to Jada and Ghost but even THEY couldn't fuck with this Duo.
you can feel how this was the early days of black hippy, they were just flexing bars rapping their asses off
miss tracks like this
to be honest i dont like current day black hippy. i miss the raw skills like this song
Yea for real bro.. this song has been ringing in my ears for a while now.. had to come listen.. hope you good in the midst of all the chaos
Well never hear kendrick like this again but this is wat soul does fairly often no?
💯
I effing miss it!
The Child actor never stood a chance
And will never
2024/11: We witnessed 2 lyrical black belts sparring. This shit is 1 of the best rap duo songs ever made! & I stand on that!
"They say pressure bust pipes ...
And I ain't never had to deal with plimbing in my life "...
Now that's a bar !!!
Kdot is INCREDIBLE
I still think this is the most slept on song of all time. Been listening to this one for about 4 years now
Make that 9 💪🙏
And I still can't stop myself
Exactly.. heard this back in my freshman year of college and gosh this damn song will forever be the best rap song ever
One of the most slept on songs ever
“But my mind is like a wizard, I define the laws of gravity every time I get high and write a sentence. Back teeth never been in agony but I have wisdom” gah damn 😮💨
Can we just be happy that we were blessed with such talent? Ab-Soul and Kendrick both put faith back in hip hop and encouraged people to focus on the flow and the story that Hip-Hop was created for. I don't prefer either over the other, I just feel lucky that I can listen to both of them.
Masters
This will forever be me and my bro's song.
We know this shit word for word, bar for bar haha
"With my back against the wall i can see y'all fronting" this was different time period
These two together is too much
Still listening. One of the best lyrical exercises in rap. Neither of them were lacking. Steel sharpens steel. 🔥⚔️
Bless the Lord I came across this track. Ab and Kdot going toe to toe 😭😭😭
"Asking for 50 CENT from MANY MEN"
That bar went over many people's head lol
Wrrd lol I caught that shit first time I heard it
+Stewie Stifler That shit was basic as fuck
+Jeremiah Box honestly though you deserve these people coming at you, one of Soul's simplest lines to comprehend
+Walter Phosa Nope pretty sure you couldn't come up with that Quadruple Entendre
if it did those people are fuckin' retarded
It’s 2020 now & looking back when I used to bump this over & over...fuuuck this track still bangs. Bars on bars on bars!!! You can hear the hunger in Soulo & Dot!
Still listening to this and I heard it back in middle school. Ab is one of the greatest MC’s
The beef brought me back to this. Drake thought he could compete with THIS?!!
People sleep on AB-soul. It hurts
I love how communal this track has made everyone listening to it become. This track is so nostalgic, just purely for the insane combo between these two. Soul and Dot are surely pushing each other for the best on the track and it shows on the response we all give. Legendary track.
Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul Vs. Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ
I Could Only Imagine
Holy.
Shit.
Too many bars the song would just turn into a prison
"I'm a real master, real massive, you're just real average. I see your chain is strange, they wore those in the middle passage."
a very deep , and sad bar
Bra imagine if Kendrick and soul became a duo and been putting out music together the last 10 years. This and turn me up are perfect songs
Faxxx we need the collab album f the industry dawg I get it though the label got get money but damn they gotta do it bro😢
Would be greater than OUTKAST imo❤
@@HoodPsychoP3diareal shit bro
I see through your true colors like stain glass 😤😤😤 2024 still favorite black hippy track
Still one of the greatest songs i ever heard ,2024
Kendrick Lamar has said that Soul is the greatest rapper alive, that definitely says a lot. It really comes down to a matter of opinion. Personally, I feel like soulo's lyrics are much more pure, but kendrick's delivery is much stonger.
Couldn't have said it any better
Spot on
You nailed it on the money... Thats exactly what it is
Accurate
This is sooo freaking true !!!!
Still hard to believe how amazing this song is
Still a classic to this day 👌
Still slappin this in 2020!!!
i come back to this track time and time again... never gets old
God I wish they performed one of these at the Pop Out
2:35
Kendrick is a time traveller because he travelled to the future and opened fire on a track with Future( Like That). He then travelled back and got on this track to let you know his the first shooter. 🙇🏾♂️ He cleared the set on that Drake & Cole diss.
Real music remain timeless 🙏🏽
This song is cold can't believe I just discovered it
Better late than never. Kenny and Ab together on this is GOATed
This one of my favorite tracks ever
My favorite song from ab soul, soul brother no. 2 the list goes on man I could write a book
Best pure rap song ever
the nostalgia is crazy right now
They really don't rap like this no more, back to back, raw bars, you can tell it was one take
Real talk .. they were hungry! The industry is tricky
this track is pretty tough. Id love to hear a ab-soul/kendrick lamar album. def the 2 best out the group. Schoolboy and Jay Rock are dope too, but these 2 are on another level
its open to debate. cant go wrong either way. I personally think Ab-Soul is lyrically the illest right now. every bar is super sharp
dlov60 agree with david, bar by bar Ab and K dot are possible equal. Jay and School have occasional bars.
Personally, Jay Rock is my favorite, but I do agree Ab Soul has the deepest lyrics
What a time to be alive 🥶
Kendrick has reignited a sleeping giant .
"clear the set, i got now , i got next/
give u nouns, give u verbs/
give u adjectives while purposing a agitated threat"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I read this just as he said it
"More ironic than a bum asking for 50 Cent from Many Men." 😳🔥👌🏼
Such a legendary song , so many people will never hear this ! AB SOUL/KENDRICK !
"You spend more time boasting about what you do then you do, so by the time ya shit is do its doo-doo." Always with the witty word play. Tree of Life is still one of my favorite songs because of the end of the song when he was doing the Soul alliterations. Soul Brother number two, soon to be Soul Brother number one.
"(Soul)ar power, (soul)ar system, told you so. You was a compartment in your car you couldn't Con(soul)."
One of kendrick & ab souls best songs ever ❤
Im still here in March 2019!!! This song is everything!
“That was like 95 now it’s 20 10 two years from when they said the world is gonna end” 🔥🔥🔥 can’t believe this dropped over a decade ago
WHY ISNT THIS SONG ACTUALLY RELEASED?!! i literally cannot stop listening to this song!!
EXACTLY! Why the FUCK didn't they release it???
***** it's on the black hippy mixtape
One of the greatest duos in the history of MAN, the ancient Babylons would be proud 🙏🏻🙌🏻💯
I always find my way back here, this shit is amazing
I feel like Kendrick and ab soul are the best together, they really go perfect with flow and Kendrick's style is amazing every time with soul. Of course they still are amazing even with the rest of TDE
they r the best outta tde but Kendrick is the best outta the 2 of em they all said it #Section80 #GoodKIDMaadCITY #K.Dot
Ab soul wordplay makes you laugh, because it's so Damn good.
This takes me back to high school gone are those days
Still doesn't get old. Bar after bar. Still my favorite duo
I miss these days. Im grateful for my life now but this takes me back to some golden days with the close close homies/family I thought id still be running with. No worries then except getting money and having fun. Now it's just 2 out of 5 of us left and only me jamming this. Like Ab says tho, "Life Is Crazy"
This a hidden gem
Ab soul was Kendrick’s biggest influence around this era and section 80
Kendrick doesn’t become Kendrick without ab soul. He made Kdot raise his game forsure
If every bar dropped on this song was a brick ,then Rome would have been built in a day.
Dang
💯
