I always thought this was J. Period produced. so much like his sound. been years since I checked liner notes. thanks for the info. also true DJ Spinna is an awesome producer. I miss these days.
@@johnobeney1748 yes yes both had a very dope sound that was popping around the same time and similar scenes, always dope drums and interesting sonic patterns that deviated just enough from the dj premier/pete rock formats that were influencing most underground production at the time. Geology and J Rawls are a couple other producers I’d kind of place in the same camp as Spinna and Sean J Period, dope late 90’s early 2000’s underground producers with a unique sound and beats that had a cool, mellow vibe without being boring or soft. If 87-90 was hip hop’s golden era with a second one between 93 and 97, then 97-2002 was the underground’s golden era imo. What a great time and sound.
Dude I didn't even know this was spinna, but it does sound alot like him. One of the best east coast producers for sure. I'd put him in my top 3 producers. Him, Prince Paul, lord finesse, Q-Tip are the ones who made the sound
Sadat X had one of the most unique, on-beat/off-beat, every 3-4 bars don't rhyme with the previous one intricate flows of anyone with bars at this particular time
Word… scaramanga shallah….make sure you check out 7 eyes 7 horns and among other joints and albums under the scaramanga moniker….dude is like Kool Keith meets Half-a-Mil
Still loving this album in 2019!!!!! Damn 20 years ago!!I remember buying it from Sunrise records. Guess I'm old!!!! What's thirstin howl III saying now a days???
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit!I I ain't heard this in years. Back in '99 or '00... Had my headphones on under a tunnel while bombin' an underpass and a fucking train almost mowed me down to this track right here. I never heard it 'til it was right at me. Holy nostalgia, Batman!
8th grade… Was just getting into hiphop… Came across this at Tower! They were smart to put Eminem up front! 😂 But indeed it was a great portal to the underground.
I heard such rhythmitics have some kind of upwards effect on our mental emotional state. Which leads me to the conclusion that brand nubian stimulates daily life as such in its whole. I wanna salute my fellow brothers and sisters in this continuous struggle against the thing we refer to as " the system". If they attack, evacuate as quickly as possible with the first things you should grab being, children and women. Supply yourself with enough food and water for at least 3 years as radio activity will be spreaded across the landscape for quite some time. You might also wanna equip yourself with a gui interface bracelet cleaner. Greetings, Johnford.
This whole album is an absolute banger! Back in the day I remember waiting outside strawberries to open to get my hands on this classic album! It's a shame what happened to Rawkus they had a serious movement going! This is hip hop at its finest!
Grand puba was so nice, kinda weird his solo shit didn’t really pop off as much as it could have. Dante Ross was saying on a podcast how he(Puba) kinda sabotaged his own career. Anyway this joint is fucking tight, good blend of styles with Menelik
dont know if it was this song, but i have an old floppy vinyl (those old things that would come with magazines etc...) its promo only... but its all these names..i gotta dig it out from my fkn collection that is out of control now ha. but fuck, itl b worth it to dig it out, actually i think it is this song
Diplomat of swing with aliens at my feet Coming down the rampart through beam on the street Obsolete computes, compounds and dead sounds As I locate intricately independent

DJ Spinna is criminally underrated and egregiously overlooked!
I never realized Spinna did this joint, thats cool

Takes Me back to High School!!! I miss this type of Music 🎶
Rigggght!!!👁
Hell yeah me too
Agreed a much better time.
bruh we knew it was great and still had no idea what we had with thump and bars like this.
Yep!! when hip-hop was good!!
Sadat X had one of the most unique, on-beat/off-beat, every 3-4 bars don't rhyme with the previous one intricate flows of anyone with bars at this particular time
@Stan Smith indeed
To this day
Sadat X is in my top ten of all time bruh!!!
No poetry, slick prose..
Excellent summary of his flow.
This is the true essence of Hip-Hop 💯💯
as soon as the beat came in tingles ran down my spine. classic 90s ENY
1of my favorite joints off this album. Banging beat & dope lyrics
William McGee This and Diamond D’s track made this album so tough.
Sadat X come through so slick to kick it off!!! 👁
Man Sir Menelik was really underrated in the 90's.. best work was on Dr. Octagon
just reading lines out of a science book was hilarious.
@@GOAT-HRDRZNaa you are hating
Kool Keith!
The lp is a classic yo! 7xL
Wish this album was on Apple Music i remember playing this album with no skips just let it play 💯🏆🔥
1 of my fav hip hp beats. real cool tune.
grand puba murdered his verse
indeed man, totally merged/beat
d. bLess inside stuff Ahmad Rashad knows I keeps it rough
Ziki-P chic's feel me like attraction move shoes like foot action
#GoldFrontsBeTheDental
Once the Grand spread his stuff pockets fluff like Jiffy Puff
Couldn’t have started it better
sadat's flow is always fresh
Puba and Sadat are great, but I can’t believe how no one is mentioning how Sir Menelik really stole the show on this one🤦🏿♂️
Yeah he killed this as well I wonder if he put anything else out would love to check em out.
Just search “Scaramanga,he has a few albums and they’re dope!
Puba had my favorite verse
Word… scaramanga shallah….make sure you check out 7 eyes 7 horns and among other joints and albums under the scaramanga moniker….dude is like Kool Keith meets Half-a-Mil
AGREED
Still loving this album in 2019!!!!! Damn 20 years ago!!I remember buying it from Sunrise records. Guess I'm old!!!! What's thirstin howl III saying now a days???
He still livin wit his momz
I was fifteen this was a jumpoff heavy for us when we were young
N.e.P. chalFont mpp
Can't believe this is called "old school hip hop" now. I feel old. 🤦🏼♂️
But I’m cool with it
I've been looking around for the longest for this song. It's as close to perfect as one can get with the lyrics and beats. One of my favorites...
The break in the last hook was krazy
facts!!!
This one of my Favorite Albums EVER!
Puba's verse is still untouchable
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeit!I
I ain't heard this in years.
Back in '99 or '00... Had my headphones on under a tunnel while bombin' an underpass and a fucking train almost mowed me down to this track right here. I never heard it 'til it was right at me.
Holy nostalgia, Batman!
Pete Rock and Marley marl on the 1's and 2's
God's the sample in the back reminds me of t.r.o.y.
😎👊
DJ Spinna on production!
came here for the 1999, this is also particularly enjoyable.
7&8 Land same, I was thinking that Sadat got the hottest verses on sound bombing when I was listening to 1-9-9-9 and had to bump this. I miss Rawkus
Jazz Liberatorz -the return feat sadat x. You might enjoy
Still Dope
What a beautiful song!
get high to this!!!
One of my favorites from the golden era of hip hop. Will never be hip hop that matches this these days.
Im 24..I appreciate this style of Rap and hip hop heavy
Wow memories walking to school bumping this in my Walkman with the wire headphones ... when life was life 💯💪🏾🙏🏽
DOPE DOPE DOPE THE FULL ALBUM
the bassline takes me to amazing places
7XL the Gods live well.......
This song was released three years after the song Earth People by Dr. Octagon, when he mentioned it wasn't invented yet. Listen to it!
8th grade… Was just getting into hiphop… Came across this at Tower! They were smart to put Eminem up front! 😂
But indeed it was a great portal to the underground.
Good memories when hip hop wasn't dead
Wicked tune. just wicked.
..... in the GAWD-WAY.... right!?!🤔😏😉
Perfection from the era I came up.
Inside stuff Ahmad Rashad know I keep it ruff!
Classic! Take me back
