Merry Christmas man, yeah this one still bringing chills today. I’m not even someone that likes rap on the whole but it’s just the BEAT on this, that instrumental is so fucking hard. Season’s greetings fellas
Shook Ones pt II is one of hip hop's most influential and legendary songs of all time. The dark beats, grimy storytelling, eerie sounds and heavy lyricism was top-notch. It's still one of my all-time favorite rap joints.
the reason why this sounds so dark havoc starts it with a cooker ignition - to simulate cooking up he slows it down until becomes the tempo so you get that street vibration which is deeply embedded in the beats inner core its that tempo rhythm vibration that energy is why this sounds more street than anything you ever heard
"When the slugs penetrate, you feel a burning sensation, getting closer to god, in a tight situation. Now take these words home and think it through, or the next rhyme i write might be about you" literal chills everytime
Imagine beeing 19 and rapping on one of the most iconic beats ever made. Not only did they deliver, they made it look effortless. One of the best beats of all time, but also great lyrics and the delivery is more than on point!
I lived through 80/90s crack years in NJ/NY. This track will always hit because it's so raw. Queens/Brooklyn/Newark... All the way to Atlantic City and Philly, shit was real. Every block was a territory and the hood did not play. Taught me a lot of respect that people don't get the chance to learn nowadays. Not like back then.
Dude my life goals are accomplished i swear I'm only 14 but my dad shows me so many old school rap anyways my goal was to listen to this until it gets to 100M

Prodigy from Mobb Deep suffered from sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder that creates intense body pain and complications that can lead to death. The disease is more present in black people and I have lost several members of my family to this disease. I am the father of 2 children who suffer from it. Sickle cell patients do not have a peaceful life, which disrupts their studies and reduces their chances of succeeding in life even to have a good job. Seeing Prodigy from Mobb Deep and T-Boz from TLC have sickle cell disease and have international success is hope for kids who are like them.😓😢
The 90's are so sacred because it was AUTHENTIC. Prodigy, Nas, Havoc these dudes were "19 fucking years old" with an amazing vocabulary for adolescents in the hood, and they were way ahead of their years.. Its like everybody were self educated thugs, this type of vocab and authenticity will never be a thing again in hip hop
+Rashon Martin bro you can literally self educate yourself anything they teach you in school. Matter fact, when you self educate yourself you intake the information much more because you WANT to learn, rather than it being forced down your throat
T.I. Could've been up with those names. He really tried to bring lyrical NY style rap to the South, but the stupid rap industry in the 00s wanted crunk Muzik and beats. So T.I. Was forced to dumb down his lyrics to sell records. Listen to I'm serious and Trap Muzik and you'll see what I mean.
@@tomminidrache5240 i said in the name of the song shook ones that his name will be in the history of hip hop for this song and will be forever remembered. Dude why do people make double meanings 😭
@pubg m If I remember correctly he had some health issues and was in a hospital and the doctors left him alone for some time and something happened and he died.
R.I.P. Prodigy, this is one of my favorite songs ever since my childhood whenever I hear it I think of the opening to 8 mile with Eminem, and season 2 of Luke Cage. It's 2025 now, still jamming and jamming to this song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯👍

This line's relatable for me even though I'm in a completely different situation from him. I'm 19 and I wrote a poem about a warm heart turned cold a couple of months ago before I even listened to this song. Mine's more so depression and confusion with my problems.
He was only 19!!! His maturity, his flow, his lyrics, his swag man... he's underrated. Everytime I watch this video I'm amazed of how I could appreciate someone at 19. This man needs an unsung or documentary. Man he was so mature
rip Prodigy, people from that era was more down to earth , with clear vision and was mature,i mean not only if you look at rap but overall people were different then in a good way

@@arthurvg2217 oh mane habits also,i mean back then our parents were talkin to us kids that man needs to eat meat etc, i remember too we were stronger and more conneted to people around us
@@peeweee612 we spent time outside too, like a lot of time. And to be clear, there were still lots of crimes but it's like the Uruk Ai are done and remains only goblins running, jumping occasionally but no more impressive dudes that make you think : if I'm gonna be in trouble with him it'd better be for something real cause I have litteraly 20% death risk on this. I'm not weak but I know my limits a healthy 30kg of difference is a lot.
This instrumental produced by Havoc never gets old. First heard this in 95', I was 14. Now in 2024 I'm 42 and this track will live on forever. RIP Prodigy!!
I then being a teen also when this album dropped. Alot of knuckleheads in AC got in trouble doing shit. Stayed high and drunk off 40 ounces. Wasting my life. But learning is the best reward.
Same bro. I remember when I first heard it and it was like my brain blew up. I still get chills listening to it and I still bump it damn near every day and when I do it’s usually on repeat.
He wasn't even 19 he was younger, Prodigy: When I said “I’m only 19 but my mind is old” - at that time when I said that line, I was 18. In my lyrics, I used to always state two years ahead. I did that to make it seem like we were ahead of our time - a time capsule almost. It had never been done before.
I always see rappers top 10 lists of rappers and prodigy is NEVER on their lists... they are fools prodigy is in contention for the title of best rapper ever imo it’s not just this verse he brought the heat every time listen to “Apostles warning” and his verse there
Everyone is praising the beat and rightly so, but the lyrics are mad menacing and come through so hard it fits perfectly with the instrumental. I've heard this beat a few times before but never with the original lyrics. It really elevates it, you feel the time of the beat.
@@CryptoGuardparticlio Rolling Stones are the same one who rated Drake's take care on 91 in top 500 albums of all time above anything tupac eminem nas big ever made... But yeah this song is unarguably the top 3 and arguably 1
Whenever I'm on a mood to listen to the hip-hop classics, there's no way I would forgot or skip this track. It's been almost 12 years since I'm looping this shit, and will loop till I fucking die.
Through action a man becomes a hero Through death a hero becomes a legend Through time a legend becomes a myth Through hearing a myth, a man takes action. I don't why I thought that related.
Good line but not true. Teens always think that just because they have gone out and done "hard" stuff or murdered people or makes them "grown up". If they were they wouldn't be out playing such stupid games, they would recognize that _they_ can actually die and avoid it. Youth may talk about how they might die and death and killing, but inside they don't really think it will happen to them, they are the best, they are to good for that, and even if it does happen they think of our more in terms of the image it will create, they don't really grasp that _their life_ will be over, or worse. So they think they are all grown and mature while every word they speak actually just reinforces how young they are. Pretty sad how they got themselves into this place.
You are not the only one! We were teenagers and did not understand what we were witnessing until 25+years later when we hear rap we realize that was greatness!!!!

I started college in 2006 until 2010, when i came in there was almost only 6ft jacked up criminals in here, came out people where 5ft slim smartphone scrolling peoples. Don't ask if it's in the food, the air, the habits whatever, something definitly changed.
@@arthurvg2217 oh mane habits also,i mean back then our parents were talkin to us kids that man needs to eat meat etc, i remember too we were stronger and more conneted to people around us
@@peeweee612 we spent time outside too, like a lot of time.
And to be clear, there were still lots of crimes but it's like the Uruk Ai are done and remains only goblins running, jumping occasionally but no more impressive dudes that make you think : if I'm gonna be in trouble with him it'd better be for something real cause I have litteraly 20% death risk on this. I'm not weak but I know my limits a healthy 30kg of difference is a lot.
Best beat hands down

The fact that prodigy spitted such rhymes at age 19 tho..

Well he was a prodigy after all
Thats normal especially when you live in the inner cities under the curse of GOD.

We still here in 2025 then.
Two days ago and no comments …let me fix that

Ye we here dawg
This instrumental produced by Havoc never gets old. First heard this in 95', I was 14. Now in 2024 I'm 42 and this track will live on forever. RIP Prodigy!!
Word up I was 12 and all facts Rip Prodigy!!!🙏🏾💪🏾
I then being a teen also when this album dropped. Alot of knuckleheads in AC got in trouble doing shit. Stayed high and drunk off 40 ounces. Wasting my life. But learning is the best reward.
Same bro. I remember when I first heard it and it was like my brain blew up. I still get chills listening to it and I still bump it damn near every day and when I do it’s usually on repeat.
This album and Liquid Swords changed my entire life
Instrumental was featured in 8 mile dope movie
Beat gives me chills each time I hear it. Never heard anything quite as raw/gritty/cold.
Big L
@@ericschmidt242Big L was smooth not grimey
You sure? Da Graveyard is pretty grimey.
Yep
Aight new York gritty sound put chills in your skin
"I'm only 19 but my mind is older" gives me chills, dude was only 19 when he wrote one of the hardest verses of all time
He wasn't even 19 he was younger, Prodigy: When I said “I’m only 19 but my mind is old” - at that time when I said that line, I was 18. In my lyrics, I used to always state two years ahead. I did that to make it seem like we were ahead of our time - a time capsule almost. It had never been done before.
Yep that is so true rest in peace brother hnic
With little to no cussing
I always see rappers top 10 lists of rappers and prodigy is NEVER on their lists... they are fools prodigy is in contention for the title of best rapper ever imo it’s not just this verse he brought the heat every time listen to “Apostles warning” and his verse there
This is the greatest rap/hip hop verse of ALL TIME. Along with the beat. Who give af if he was 18 only makes it better 🔥😆 Rip prod.
beat beat ever!
RIP Brother Prodigy! Legends never die!
tyler. Well rip prodigy and lil peep. But to be honest, lil peep was a shitrapper and not a legend. But rip
AntiQ 44 whats is with him
sprider 208 he died by chocking on a egg. But alot of people dont believe that because he planned to expose the illuminati
1000th like
He died because he has a serious disaese of the lung. RIP
Everyone is praising the beat and rightly so, but the lyrics are mad menacing and come through so hard it fits perfectly with the instrumental. I've heard this beat a few times before but never with the original lyrics. It really elevates it, you feel the time of the beat.
Man your absolutely right, prodigy killed this shit
Their flow was otherworldly. And they were so young too!
Rarely any true rappers today with a godly flow.
I agree the lyrics are menaceing
hi, what is the titel from the original sound? can u help me?

90's rap...
The time when clothes were loose but rhymes were tight

Now the clothes are tight and the rhymes are loose
@@xlil_nobodyx7459 its a shame tbh

Everyone listening in 2020, you have a great taste in music.
Agreed
It's a classic
I knew that already ;)
You can put your whole army against my team..
Why thank you
This is easily one of the greatest Rap/Hip-Hop songs ever created. Prodigy’s verse is also one of the greatest verses, Havoc went hard too.
Every bar this is a masterpiece
Isn't it rated number 1 rap song of all times according to the Rolling Stones magazine? Something like that
@@CryptoGuardparticlio Rolling Stones are the same one who rated Drake's take care on 91 in top 500 albums of all time above anything tupac eminem nas big ever made... But yeah this song is unarguably the top 3 and arguably 1
I think you forgot ny state of mind

Whenever I'm on a mood to listen to the hip-hop classics, there's no way I would forgot or skip this track. It's been almost 12 years since I'm looping this shit, and will loop till I fucking die.
You are definitely not a shook one.

Word up son
I'm the same.
chea
Heroes die
Legends live on
Through action a man becomes a hero
Through death a hero becomes a legend
Through time a legend becomes a myth
Through hearing a myth, a man takes action.
I don't why I thought that related.
“I’m only 19 but my mind is old” always fucking hits hard. RIP
Did Hamilton or them say it first
@@bubblydude9629 what do you think? This song was made well over 20 years before hamilton. please dont ask something like that again
Good line but not true. Teens always think that just because they have gone out and done "hard" stuff or murdered people or makes them "grown up". If they were they wouldn't be out playing such stupid games, they would recognize that _they_ can actually die and avoid it. Youth may talk about how they might die and death and killing, but inside they don't really think it will happen to them, they are the best, they are to good for that, and even if it does happen they think of our more in terms of the image it will create, they don't really grasp that _their life_ will be over, or worse. So they think they are all grown and mature while every word they speak actually just reinforces how young they are. Pretty sad how they got themselves into this place.

You are not the only one! We were teenagers and did not understand what we were witnessing until 25+years later when we hear rap we realize that was greatness!!!!
