RIGHT😎😎🎶
11-25-24, Syracuse NY Stand Up So We Can Straighten It Out ✌️
I swear this is more than music.
Soul food my friend 🙏🔥
To black people it is... To white people it isn't!! Black American's have to learn from Jamaicans on how to protect their culture..
I will never understand how we let Hip-Hop like this slip away from us..
Same thought..like how sway🤔🤔
Record companies.
Soon as Curtis blow & them sign record contracts in '79.
Now I understand why Grandmaster Flash and them didn't sign with Sugar Hill immediately.
It is one of the greatest travesties of mankind. At least those who know about it still know.
I love this comment
Exactly 💯
I don’t see how these two Brothers can’t follow their own lead and come together for a fan deserved reunion effort. PLEASE STRAIGHTEN IT OUT❗️
Pete and CL so underrated its ridiculous.
This is history,this is culture,this is art,this is rap!!!
THIS is hip hop! Not that nonsense you hear on the radio today, that i call HIP-POP
true that. back in the day hip hop artists kept it clean and rapped about something other than money violence and nonsense
A-DUB-U wrong m8 the subject manner was always the same
Preach brother. I have a 17 yr old and I hear more BS that his generation calls RAP MUSIC. This takes us to place of great times nobody died from beefing. Remember when break dancing solved everything. Dam getting old sucks
Definitely
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾😎
Born in 2000 every day wishing every day I as 15 in 1990
Speakin Truth My Brother
This 80's baby approve your message to infinity!!
I understand, trust me. Real Hip Hop is the greatest musical genre ever
Born in 01 but i love this kinda music 👍🏼
Pete Rock & CL Smooth, one of the greatest hip-hop duo of all time!
ATRIBECALLED CAT All time bro!!
ATRIBECALLED CAT Amen!
4 sho!
Pete Rock and Cl smooth has a place in the hip hop history PERIOD!
*duos*
If this beat doesn’t make you move your head and give you goosebumps then you have no right to listen to this masterpiece
Or you're half-dead🤣
Just thinking the same!
One of the hardest beat and breakdown...ever...
Straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Oh yeeeeah
This is hiphop in its purest form.
+Reflex Point And not to mention the dopest, too.
TRUTH! Whoooo!
Baby you better know it teach you rappers

It's was definitely a privilege for me to be born in 1972. Our generation had the greatest experience !
Damn Right! Not a single lie detected!
GEN X ✌️🙏
73’ 💪🏾
1992. What an incredible year. The west had "The Chronic" and the east had "Mecca and the Soul Brother". Everybody wins.
"The Chronic" is one of the most overated albums ever . The beats are kind of nice but soon get annoying and the lyrics are some of the dumbest ever recorded onto wax . Snoop doesnt stand up to the slightest scrutiny .. unbelievably wack.
@@rippedtorn2310 How can u say that..the chronic created a whole new genre
West coast is trash... the beats are the same and they rap about the same exact things. They honestly started the downfall of rap...
Patrick Q you sound like a sad hater the west coast was the shit that the time
It was a dope year.
Who’s bumping this In 2022?
BRING THE 90's back 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
We can do it listening to this songs ;)
Pleeeeease
@@opinionpublica7784 And play it on the block
I miss the 90's
The 90's was the last of the Real 1's just thankful i experienced it 💯
Never will be a decade like that again...
The way CL rode that beat- absolutely insane. Pete Rock did his thing 😍 The best Classic Duo hands Down💯💯
His wordplay is unlike any other MC. "Carmel City" and Take You There" have some incredible rhymes that are practically woven into the beat.
yep, they rocked it.....
Purest form of Hip hop
😤
Hip hop in 90s still the best
I tell my son that his Father was born in 1971 and because of that I got to listen and be around when rap/hip hop was at it's pinnacle. I tell him about my friend who was good friends with Tupac in Marin city aka "The Jungle" and told him about how Wrestlers talk about always maintaining K Fab, basically staying in character, today's rappers are average dudes, their material doesn't touch the masses, just certain niches. Rap back then was universal in how in changed lives. You had all walks of life and people and culture trying to emulate rappers like Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Krs-1. Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth had real messages in their music. Many others as well, now we drill rap that doesn't unite. It kills and keeps us separated/divided and these labels love it. They put life insurance policies out on these literally here today gone tomorrow rappers, keep their masters and on to the next. Very sad.
Great comment and On Point! I was born in 74, so I relate to everything that you've written
My G! Stay up and do Your thing, Brother...
73’ Straight facts! 💪🏾
CL Smooth was one of the most underrated but dopest rappers of the 90’s era. Lexus LS400’s, dope samples and beats produced by Pete Rock…this video was shot like a movie. Classic shit 🔥🔥🔥
CL SMOOTH AND THIS BEAT IS LIKE ORANGE TO THE JUICE!!!!
Now that I’m 43 I look back and it’s crazy I was like 12 listening to this.
HipHop of today is not what it used to be HipHop of yesterday had meaning,understanding and passion.
In 1992 I was 23 and I still Jam to this 2018 Detroit Eastside.
90's hip hop was the best ever in my book!
CL Smooth was far ahead of his time and his flow to advanced back then.
When u hear it u hear it .
I wish Pete Rock and CL Smooth could "Straighten it Out".
This is untouchable. Genius. Magnifique. Listening in 2023.
All Black people must, "straighten it out" one of my favorite parts of the song, shout out to Pete Rock & CL Smooth and 90s hip hop. 👍💯
that beat is dangerous and smooth
Pete Rock was ahead of his time! CL was a great song writer! NY back then had a special energy.
I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio with a blank cassette tape ready to Press record as soon as I heard it about to come on. This was so NYC! Dope!
Damn I remember those days 😂😂 aww man the memories.
Tru Story,I'm From Tha 315, And When I Heard This Joint I Went Bananas, Finally Hear This One's 4Tha Crew!!!!All Yeaaaaaaa
@@marystackhouse3232 that's what's up my g!
Yes and hope they don't mix with something stupid

The positives that brings people together is far more powerful than the negatives that drives people apart

40 belows, swagger, NEW YORK flava, style, nonchalantness, Caribbean influence...
The way they walked out of jail to the whips and drove off is classic i can feel the 90s thru my soul just by that scene

@@andrepedroso4803 I still do these the best days 90🎉
Late 70s 80s and 90s hip hop was the best eras. Today music and lyrics don't compare lost of positive messages back then
Cl flows so effortless , it’s really an incredible beautiful flow , my man is phenomenal lyrically and his cadence is second to none . Raw Hiphop at its finest .. The Great Cl Smooth
Them horns, boy!!!
Yeah, I forgot about them , CL had a raw flow also.
Indeed, Pete Rock is mos def. an underrated as a producer.
Jazz+HipHop is the best combo
Yea Money Making Mount Vernon stand up. New York City lets get back to this shit man whats going on now dayz.
Yup!! #RealHipHop
EVERY word is CRYSTAL clear and not one mention of violating another of the same color.
Nostalgia of the 90s the way we walked the way we talked.... I miss those days

Knowing Apartheid on a first name basis living through it a kid, Hip Hop was my virtual escape.🙏🏽👌🏿

No Doubt Queen. True Hip Hop!
Funny how I play this kinda feel-good-hip-hop and the young ones be like, “You and your boring songs”. I just smile but deep inside I weep for em.
"Pete a make a loop, lovely way to troop in da Lexus coupe!"
Hip Hop's Golden Era!!
I was 12 when i first bopped my head to this and now at 42 I still smile, bop my head and share wit my grandbaby....💪🏿👊🏿🕺🏿🔥 TIMELESS IS THE WORD
🙏👊👊
“I don’t need the unnecessary hostility,” is my world view. Every year, I understand it more.
Yes
CL Smooth was one of the greatest lyrical story tellers on wax ever!
Pete rock & CL were just anotha example of the best hip-hop and showing other rap cats dat u didn't need to swear to come hard on an album. One of the few groups who put it together without curse words !
Heavy D too he didn’t swear either
Mt Vernon
This song never gets old classic for life
Classic!!! This was music and you could never get tired of this!
Man that La la la la chokes me up every time I hear it!!!!! Showing black unity.
Mecca and The Soul Brother is a top 10 album
Happy Birthday CL Smooth!!!!!!! "The birth of a child on the 8th of October,a toast, but my grandaddy came sober". Keep doing your thing.
My Birth Day
From Cleveland Ohio but lived in Jamaica Queens from 90-94 loved this Era
We need this style back.
Still bumping this in 2020! Pete Rock killed this beat!
Still bumping this in 2023 my man 👊🏽
Back when Hip hop producers were diggin' in the crates searching for that ultimate original break to use creatively to make a hit song/album. That is the foundation of Hip Hop, these new kids just don't know.
It's a damn shame how far hip hop has fallen!!!
Real hip hop forever, 1.

As of this writing ✍️ it’s 2023 and Pete Rock and CL Smooth are now bitter enemies and still at odds with each other for over 20 years! Such a shame that these two brothers have been estranged from each other for so long! Looking at this video and them walking away hugging each other I pray that they can do what their classic says and Straighten It Out! 🙌🏾💯❤️💪🏽🙏🏾
That flow that conversation this nigga flowin
