I totally agree. I would also give credit to DJ Premier, Pete Rock, J Dilla, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre,DJ Battlecat, Bobcat, Larry Smith who was the producer for Whodini and RunDMC, Cold 187um of Above the Law all get credit.
With the weight it carries in the "Culture" , it is too heavy to measure by any conventional means. " Whatever you do... it's got to be FUNKY!" 💯👍🏽💯👍🏽 WORD IS BOND
Every emcee on this track was straight dope and had bars. Yall dont understand how hard this song hit when it came out. I remember Kool DJ Red Alert and Chuck Chill Out mixing this song 98.7 KissFM. Real 80's New Yorkers know what the hell I'm talking about.
+Joe Black Yes! Hahahaha...The salad days. And you had to be patient, sometimes she would do a little talking, but you had to be careful not to hit pause because it may not be a commercial break. Is she going to commercial or just giving a shout out? When life was simpler...
I was born and raised in Cleveland. Im 41 years old, n been round dis HIP HOP THING FOR A BIT. I WILL GO OUT ON A LIMB...N ACCEPT ALL BACKLASH...QUEENS N.Y HAS THE DOPEST MFS....PLS FORGIVE ME...🎶🎤🎧😉👊🏿 KOOL G...JUST DIFFERENT BRO!!😥😥 🕺🏾🕺🏾 ONE OF THE EAST COAST PIONEERS OF THAT GANGSTA SHIT....DUKE GOT BARS 30 YEARS OLD THAT STILL GO CRAZY. BUT THIS JUST MY OPINION....SHOUTS TO ALL REAL.HIP HOP HEADS WORLDWIDE.
I remember rocking this back in 89 video music box. My mom used to tell me turn that trash off and bring my homework I said let the video finished first. I end up bringing her my belt instead of the books.
"Making veterans run for medicine cuz I put out more lights in a fight than Con Edison". Con Edison would turn niggas lights off if you 2 days late with your Bill:(
I went to a Damian Marley concert in Philly in 2015 and we went to the little club next door afterwards and the DJ spun old school hip hop for hours. I lost my mind! I was 36 so I dont go out clubbing anymore but man, what a night.😃
I had the pleasure of living right above Marley in queensbridge when I was about 15 years old. I remember hearing everything he created through the walls. Also had the oppurtunity to see all the juice crew members quite frequently. I also had the opportunity to sit in his apartment and watch him do his thing. He is one of the guys that influenced me to do music. Just wish he would have have me a shot but I was still to young to play with the big boys, but lucky for me that I found my own path.
Best posse cut ever. Good and clear lyrics. No mumbling. Even with a lisp you can still understand Kool G Rap.And the beat. Straight hardcore. A good producer doesn't just pick the right samples. They have to make it work also and Marley did. He always does.
Now kidz thiz iz what you call Hip Hop . Not that Mumble Rap bullshit ya'll have today . This just has BARZ and pure lyricism . All thses MC;s did their thing and came through with such smooth delivery . This iz the real Golden Era of Hip Hop .
i feel chucky on that one....that was the season of flow right there. people just had gas and could spit and all day with swag. thankful to be able hear these tunes. love to the artists
It went under the water.I'm pure old school 100 percent.Back in the 80's and 90's when rap music comes on only after dark.My teen years kicked off when the message by grandmaster flash is a really 🔥 record.A jam box was a teen best friend like a iPhone these days.903 king
Jenuwin Moor Kane and G rap didn't like each other back then. Kane had that fort green swag from Brooklyn and back then we cats from Brooklyn ran everything!!
Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, and Kool G Rap all gave a ton of MCing knowledge inside the books *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*. Kool G Rap even wrote the foreword for the first book.
wow now this right here takes me back in the days when i was young I'm not a kid anymore but sometimes i sit and wish i was a kid again lol miss those days heavy!! thanks youtube ;)
True classic OLD SCHOOL another one that made Hip-Hop and rap what it is today... if you're too young to recognize these artists, these are LEGENDZ!!!!! Still a big fan of the "Trunk Jewelry"... those big ropes are pure DOPE! Swagg and style before anyone even knew.. and btw the lyrics spit just as dope..
Right he knew his status as the leader of the group and wearing a suit was his thing he set the trend the suit was hard as @uck when everyone else had the cowboy suits on.
Classsicccccccccccccc! This song alone should be in the Library of Congress!
R.I.P DJ Polo!
Marley Marl is one of the most important & influential producers in the history of hip-hop.
I totally agree. I would also give credit to DJ Premier, Pete Rock, J Dilla, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre,DJ Battlecat, Bobcat, Larry Smith who was the producer for Whodini and RunDMC, Cold 187um of Above the Law all get credit.

+gotflava1 Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito the Barber...used to have my cassette loaded waiting to hit record.
Philly - 1980s - Street Beat with Lady B on Power 99 - Sunday's. Used to record that show religously. Wish I still had those tapes.
+Joe Black Yes! Hahahaha...The salad days. And you had to be patient, sometimes she would do a little talking, but you had to be careful not to hit pause because it may not be a commercial break. Is she going to commercial or just giving a shout out? When life was simpler...

This is a true classic. They ALL killed it. Damn all these years and I still remember Master Ace and Kool G Raps verses. This is timeless.

All of them killed it in this track
AZAR TSOTM

"Making veterans run for medicine cuz I put out more lights in a fight than Con Edison". Con Edison would turn niggas lights off if you 2 days late with your Bill:(
Kool G was WAY ahead of his time!

"take a deep breath because you dont have another left, coming back like im avenging my brothers death" fire....
Kane always kept a dope high top. The good ol' days of the box fade, gumby and slope.
Kool G Rap killed it!
I was 6 and my brother was 17 so in 89 this track was burnt in my soul over and over and over
I feel that less than 1 million views is just not enough for this.
I was wondering the same thing and a lot of other old school songs to

It don't get better than freshly squeezed lyrics from the Juice Crew.
Inundated with skills when I saw this on the box back in the day many many many times
Should have at least a million views by now
I had to listen to this song everyday while getting ready for school. My tradition.
I went to a Damian Marley concert in Philly in 2015 and we went to the little club next door afterwards and the DJ spun old school hip hop for hours. I lost my mind! I was 36 so I dont go out clubbing anymore but man, what a night.😃
Great story dude !!!! Sounds fun !!!!

Nearly 30 years later and I can still bang this shit. Most of the rap today, won't survive 8 years!!!
This beat will never get old
This will never get OLD,even in 2023 ,The Symphony 👍🏻😍❣️
Best posse cut ever. Good and clear lyrics. No mumbling. Even with a lisp you can still understand Kool G Rap.And the beat. Straight hardcore. A good producer doesn't just pick the right samples. They have to make it work also and Marley did. He always does.
The album version is the best with more bars from Kool G and Kane 💯🔥
Pure classic...everyone was on point but Kool G and Kane kiiiiilllled it !!!!.....

They saved the best for last. Kane was angry, He murderd this shit with a passion! The juice crew will forever get props.
+Jenuwin Moor I think G Rap had the best verse imo
Word Up.
and you know it
Jenuwin Moor Kane and G rap didn't like each other back then. Kane had that fort green swag from Brooklyn and back then we cats from Brooklyn ran everything!!
***** Nah! The only one from the Juice Crew who had an issue with Kane was Shan.
One of the greatest posse tracks of all time.
Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, and Kool G Rap all gave a ton of MCing knowledge inside the books *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*.
Kool G Rap even wrote the foreword for the first book.
wow now this right here takes me back in the days when i was young I'm not a kid anymore but sometimes i sit and wish i was a kid again lol miss those days heavy!! thanks youtube ;)
Kane and G Rap bodied this track!
+Sendawula Kajubi - G-Rap owned it though
+Danny D
G Rap murdered it. Kane buried it and delivered the eulogy. lol
I agree with you they did body the track but I still cant sleep on masta ace you listen to the extended version he ain't no slouch either now
+mag yeah it was on his albumTake A Look Around
G Rap blacked out. I hate that they cut the verses.
No matter what I was doing at the time I would stop everything I was doing to watch or listen to this Hip-hop masterpiece.Respect.
YOU MOVE AND GROVE WIT THE SMOOTH RAP LORD/LIKE AH BOTTLE OF JUICE RHYMES ARE PORED/ DOWN YA EAR CRYSTAL CLEAR...
Straight classic...Big Daddy Kane killed it. They all did

most underrated rap song of all time!
Kane killed it!!!
They all killed it! can't get enough of it! Marley Marl is the best!
I'm still blasting this shit in 2017
True classic OLD SCHOOL another one that made Hip-Hop and rap what it is today... if you're too young to recognize these artists, these are LEGENDZ!!!!!
Still a big fan of the "Trunk Jewelry"... those big ropes are pure DOPE! Swagg and style before anyone even knew.. and btw the lyrics spit just as dope..
CLASSIC! REAL HIP HOP! none of that bubble gum ish.
Been a long time since I've heard this. I love coming across songs like this that have somehow escaped my memory for a few years.
You can tell each one of them tried to out do each other SMH wow hip-hop at its best right here
First time I heard this as a young Hip-hop fan I was hooked.Truth be told I'm still hooked.The Legendary Juice crew.🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember this song as a kid
the flow on this simple beat is crazy, and the fact this was 1988
Respeto a la vieja escuela del hip hop desde México 🇲🇽
Damn. I love this. And so clean. Damn. If rap was like this now, it would be something.
Stupid Classic!! Still bang
FACTS
No truer truth has ever been spoken.
I"M from tha 70 so yOU from the 2000 aight
I like the Odb & Alkaholiks version best!
Yo this is the type of music my older cousins play at their house, music was so dope back then.
Old school never gets old ...classics.
putting some respeck on this comment
the best posse cut ever
Notice Big Daddy Cain is 2 damn cool to wear a cowboy clothes.
He wasn't in that bar scene....shoot his verse at the actual studio....notice he didn't walk in like everybody else
Kanr
He ended up wearing them in “Posse” ‘93 lol
Right he knew his status as the leader of the group and wearing a suit was his thing he set the trend the suit was hard as @uck when everyone else had the cowboy suits on.
Kane staying away from the cowboy outfit but strangely enough, he dresses like a matador n the don’t curse video with heavy D
G Rap and Big Daddy BANGED this joint. Classic old school hit.
Master Ace Smooth & haard
straight classic in 2018 and forever! The best rap collabo and in history...
Don't sleep on Masta Ace's version. He went hard over the full track which, was a bonus on the CD... and some later reprints.
OLD SCHOOL MTV YO! RAPS MARLEY MARL SYMPHONY VIDEO MUSIC 😀😀✌️✌️👍
'cuz if rap was a house you'd be evicted!!
big daddy kane killed it!!!
Anybody else recognize that beat in the beginning by ODB & The Alkaholiks "hip hop drunkies" song?? Man this just reminded me of that gem
Brendan M definitely why i love hip hop drunkies! Plus Tash flow is crazy!
Before The legendary Immortals WuTangClan
I remember those days! Theirs nothing, like the old school!!!
KOOL G RAP WAS THE BEST KAIN JUST HAD THE LAST VERSE SO IT MADE IT SEEM BETTER
Need to come back g rap aka stress.
