AliceLikesChains lol, I get and with your point... but the whole song is about smoking weed so maybe not as much the "drugs" part. But I get what you're saying... simpler, better rap.
This is Hakim from Channel Live. We gonna be celebrating 20 years of sparking #madizm in 2014!! Ride wit us y'all. Stay tuned and keep your #CHANNELLIVE.
Thetasteofhoney1 I can remember playing the shit out of this tape & Wu-tangs "36 chambers". I was 15 & I thought I was straight gangsta. Too funny looking back 20yrs & realizing I'm still the same little punk just bigger,badder & better!! Songs like this are timeless & if I live to be an old lady,best believe I'll STILL be playing these joints like it was1994 =)
Wake up in the mornin got the yearnin for herb Which loosens up the nouns, metaphors, and verbs And adjectives, ain't it magic kid what I'm kickin Multi-flavored bags of sess, for the pickin So listen to the izm as it talks non-stop Hawaiian when I'm rhymin but so is the chocolate thai Now the high, starts to settle Kickin fat lyrics that rocks, like heavy metal
I remember getting goosebumps hearing this for the first time. Just doesnt happen often with hip hop nowadays. Fucking insane production, flows and lyrics!!!!!!!!
it's all the same just different ways. It ain't a big difference, repping hiphop, weed & whatever else it ain't like they rapping about serving God or nothing we ain't ever heard relax by the way I'm 37 years old. It's just that we like 80's & 90's rap, that's all. But everybody been rapping about murder, sex & drugs in any other order or what not. It's all similar subject matter. How many gotta song like Ed OG be a father to your child or Dear Mama. Not a lot. Public Enemy was a difference but everybody ain't really set apart just different ways of releasing it.
Surge-Cess Youd be right, but you got to listen to that shit, you just gotta, then look in the mirror while youre listening to it, the expression on your face will be PRICELESS Lol.
Timeless classic. And the feel of this vid is perfect.. Natural, coming out the house, front steps.. I love it. Always will. Dope collabo w Channel Live. Kris is about 30 here and to think now he's almost 50...wow, time flies
"When i discovered Big L, this whole rap game opened up to me." -mac miller. i mean thats how i found this song. born in 93'... 93' til infinity!! haha east coast dominates ;D
Man...it has literally taken me 13 years to find this track and I never had a clue KRS one had anything to do with this track yet this group. I first heard this when I was 7 years old during the new york undercover episode "Mother said knock you" in early 1996 - now I can rest and man what a track. This is true hip hop during the time when music was still about music. Stuff like this kills the crap we hear nowdays. Thanks for the upload. Cheers from Australia.
Definitely i remember beck in 94 this joint was getting mad rotation.I still think the beat is infectious.Big up to Chris and Channel Live!!! One love!
ever since i was young, i remember cleanin the house with my moms n pops n always hearing this. old school in general, its something i can actually listen to and feel. not all that young money bullshit
this shit brings me back to the days when i wore SOHK shirts with White Owls tucked in my backwards visor, wearing a Jansport full of Magnum44's(for those that know) and stayed in cyphers building and destroying with the 7ods. damn i miss that hip hop era...
Damn this take me back to 9th grade my homie name Bizz bedroom was in the basement and we would smoke before going to school listening to this...Memories
I heard this song for the first time when I lived in the UK in 94 - 98 . Mannn I said wow KRS One rocked. Yes sir a big hit. Dont let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby! Yo he da man great collaboration
I miss real hip hop like this :'-( It was something about it that was so real and pure...It's sad. I wish I had paid attention to the 90's while I was still in it LOL.
18, And Hip Hop is the way of life for us youngsters. I have family that bumped this shit when it was on vinyl, and its the only genre that really gives you proper satisfaction
Like Lionel Ritchie your whole style is bitchy, switch me, mix me, some somebody get me, don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk) ripping the micro phone til I'm mother f***ing 60 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My cuzzin Tuff told me he was in a group about 20 years ago. Didn't know it was this group til one of my boys told me last year. Damn I slept on this. Tuff still makin noise as a publisher. Platinum records on Beiber, Beyonce, Rihanna, you name it.
Back when you didn't need bitches, cash or drugs in a music video. All you needed was lyrical skills. Back when hip hop was hip hop.
AliceLikesChains Yes man and by the way rip Layne staley
AliceLikesChains lol, I get and with your point... but the whole song is about smoking weed so maybe not as much the "drugs" part. But I get what you're saying... simpler, better rap.
+Walguens Aristide The song is about a plant. Not DRUGS. Go to bed.
+AliceLikesChains That is completely true.
Indeed
This is Hakim from Channel Live. We gonna be celebrating 20 years of sparking #madizm in 2014!! Ride wit us y'all. Stay tuned and keep your #CHANNELLIVE.

Heriberto Cruz 💯💯💯💯
Hello .Its time to back to sources
"Don't make me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby". One of the best lines ever.
"Spark the izm, my expertism is lyricism, my flow will take you over like i was hypnotism" DAMN
20 years later....Still Sparkin "Mad Izm"
Thetasteofhoney1 I can remember playing the shit out of this tape & Wu-tangs "36 chambers". I was 15 & I thought I was straight gangsta. Too funny looking back 20yrs & realizing I'm still the same little punk just bigger,badder & better!! Songs like this are timeless & if I live to be an old lady,best believe I'll STILL be playing these joints like it was1994 =)
My god the memories....hip hop I miss you.
This instrumental is still poppin.
For real
Krs one killed this beat🔥🔥💨💨
So impressed with KRS-One, a former homeless client at Franklin Men Shelter in the Boogie Down Bronx, when I worked there in 85. RIP Scott La Rock.
KRS has one of the most unmistakable voices in rap history. There are just some guys who have it and those who don't.
Wake up in the mornin got the yearnin for herb
Which loosens up the nouns, metaphors, and verbs
And adjectives, ain't it magic kid what I'm kickin
Multi-flavored bags of sess, for the pickin
So listen to the izm as it talks non-stop
Hawaiian when I'm rhymin but so is the chocolate thai
Now the high, starts to settle
Kickin fat lyrics that rocks, like heavy metal
"I'll spark the Izm....My Expertizm is Lyricizm....My flow will take you over like I was Hypnotizm"
This song has a very dope beat, especially at a time when hip-hop was slowly falling victim to all sorts of foolishness.
+Brian Hudson okay then tell me what is IZMS
+The Eye Opener For The Blind pass that L & ill spark it
the beat was amazing on a large system, and blunted😎
+Brian Hudson 1995 driving around in my whip had every one dancing the beat on the 4--12 inches in my ride had ppl dancing
this is the height of West Coast Gangsta rap, that's why Krs is bringing back the East Coast beat and flava to counter measure the West.
Lyrics and rhymes... so miss this era...
I remember getting goosebumps hearing this for the first time. Just doesnt happen often with hip hop nowadays. Fucking insane production, flows and lyrics!!!!!!!!
The bass line on this is amazing classic song still knocking this Today
"Spark the izm/ my expertism is lyricism/ my flow will take you over like I was hypnotism!!!!"
Got fuckin goosebumps listenin to this boom bap
man i feel bad that these kids today have zero understandin' of real music
19y.o here g. I'm one and only for boom bap east coast type shit. No trap beats. No mumble. Only lyrical metaphorical emcees who spit realness.
it's all the same just different ways. It ain't a big difference, repping hiphop, weed & whatever else it ain't like they rapping about serving God or nothing we ain't ever heard relax by the way I'm 37 years old.

Aly Moody I’m 15 I listen to this and new school, I appreciate all of it its good for different purposes
These millenium kids are doomed, how we go from this to fuckin Desiigner?
Yeah its sad man, thats why i only listen to 90s and Classic Rap only 👍🎧
lol I don't know what Desiigner is, but I'm not gonna bother asking, I'll just assume it's some new wack garbage.
Surge-Cess Youd be right, but you got to listen to that shit, you just gotta, then look in the mirror while youre listening to it, the expression on your face will be PRICELESS Lol.
BIONIK BLACK
hahah! I will give it a shot
Surge-Cess Warning have a bucket near by Lol.
One of the tightess joints of all time. Beat, lyrics and all. Easily top 15 all time.
KRS still sound good for 2018
One of the hip hop songs I get all excited and chill at the same time when listening, I never get enough of real hiphop
Beat is just...WOW!
wow, this is just... highest level of high quality hip-hop you can achieve
we need this beat in hip hop
I still have the original album, amongst others from back then. I've always loved this track.
krs destroys in this.
Timeless classic. And the feel of this vid is perfect.. Natural, coming out the house, front steps.. I love it. Always will. Dope collabo w Channel Live. Kris is about 30 here and to think now he's almost 50...wow, time flies
This track is bangin!!

THIS WILL NEVER DIE!! LONG LIVE THE 90-99 ERA!!
25 years of sparking #madizm in 2019!!
26 years now 👍👍👍2020
favorite song all-time. KRS-One's flow is on POINT; his rhythm on this joint's as good as you'll ever hear from him
Still sends chill's!
There will never be hip-hop like this again,this blows this generation of hip-hop riggt off the map
Lyrics + Illest beat!!!
Damn that felt GREAT!!! I'm good for a minute.

"When i discovered Big L, this whole rap game opened up to me." -mac miller. i mean thats how i found this song. born in 93'... 93' til infinity!! haha east coast dominates ;D
In those day you had to have skills ..now ah days you can say your ABCs and put a beat behind it will sell like nas said rap is dead
Man...it has literally taken me 13 years to find this track and I never had a clue KRS one had anything to do with this track yet this group. I first heard this when I was 7 years old during the new york undercover episode "Mother said knock you" in early 1996 - now I can rest and man what a track.

Love that guitar.
Definitely i remember beck in 94 this joint was getting mad rotation.I still think the beat is infectious.Big up to Chris and Channel Live!!! One love!
Real Hiphop
KRS-One really stepped his game up in the 90s. He was dope in the late 80s, but around 1993-1997....KRS was on the top of his game.
This shit mad fire!
if this came out today, it still would ROCK!!!!! it's 15 yrs old!!!!
this is good classic
ever since i was young, i remember cleanin the house with my moms n pops n always hearing this. old school in general, its something i can actually listen to and feel. not all that young money bullshit
Came here to clean my ears after listening to "lifestyle"
+Edward Medina I came here to see what izm is and Im still confused LOL
+The Eye Opener For The Blind
It's weed.
TheTruthHurts732 well then that song don't make a bit of sense LOL
+The Eye Opener For The Blind What did you think it was?
I will never forget this time in the mid 90s. All songs was about sparkin "Mad Izms"
one of them Negus was a school teacher simple hook and vicious barz simple beat u had to be raw back then
This song definitely was a huge mixtape hit back in the mid 90's.I miss this era.
krs is still number 1
90s was one the best decades for music of all time, not just for hip hop, but other genres like grunge too, we need more of the real with mass appeal
Wake up in the mawnin got the hearing fan herb... Man I miss these days!
this shit brings me back to the days when i wore SOHK shirts with White Owls tucked in my backwards visor, wearing a Jansport full of Magnum44's(for those that know) and stayed in cyphers building and destroying with the 7ods.
damn i miss that hip hop era...
Today's music can't get with this
Love pullin' up these older joints, so many great memories... Thanks for the upload...
Damn this take me back to 9th grade my homie name Bizz bedroom was in the basement and we would smoke before going to school listening to this...Memories

I miss real hip hop like this :'-(
It was something about it that was so real and pure...It's sad.
I wish I had paid attention to the 90's while I was still in it LOL.
