We lived thru the best era itll never be like this EVER again
These 🤡 you see today got no hood in em so they can't spit real shh all sweet like candy
For real
Never again 😒 something that you'll have to experience.
Hoping for a relapse. 😔🙏🏽
I'm so glad I experienced this ERA.
Watchin this made me realize how much I miss this era. R.I.P Rap City In The Basement
Everyday at 4…. I remember when it went off the air I felt empty at that time
No bull man.
🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I used to come home after school and record on vhs
86 thru 2000's.. RIP TRUE hip hop..... You were truly a joy to be experienced... Thank GOD for the Internet, and archives..
The internet killed it and is preserving it smh
@@ItsJR516 true story
86 to 2000 that's so real
Thank GOD for the Internet...yes,indeed.
...this is what people say when times pass them by and they have to rely on nostalgia to find emotional truth...
Jada has literally never given us a bad line
You’re blind if u can’t see how the quality of rap & skill of the emcee has fallen off from the Rap City era to today. Not one sound or style was the same.
So true. Every rapper had their own unique style, every producer had their own sound and each label had a vibe of its own. Nowadays everyone’s biting off someone’s else’s sound and people love to jump on that current bandwagon. Maybe I’m getting old but new sh*t just don’t hit like it used to
I'm so glad I experienced this ERA
Facts , it’s use to be lyrics that make rappers now it’s just clout shid
J Cole the only one that has this gift from today's rappers
@@strapnthebag facts
Tony Yayo flow be straight forward. I love how he hypes and ad libs for Banks
His hype and adlibs are fire. Better on tracks with the echoes 😂
@@VoDkAvi agreed live performance or recorded 🔥
How could you not love it
"Go to jail
whoeva runnin the block
prolly got Kiss in they Walkman
wit a blunt & a ox"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lloyd Banks might be the smoothest deadly lyricist of OAT
Blood dropped a smooth 8
Can't get past his slow/stroke look in his face.
"Nicks the same size of Playstation memory cards." Come on Kiss why you kill em like that🐐🤣
Kiss different!!!!........
More nasty!
I laughed when I heard that one too 🤣🤣🤣
@@phillippeharris6069 I swear if dudes don't have Jada in their top 5 or 10, they're buggin💯
@@brandonethereal1084 If you love HIp Hop and seriously have a top 5 or 10 I call bullshit or you only listened to a handful of artists. Whatever you heard Jada say or do someone else is gonna come along and say something crazier or do it different. You love Rakim, then comes along someone like Big Pun. You love Lil Wayne, then comes along KRS One. You thought you heard the best verse/s in the genre....then you listen to Treach on Yoke The Joker and realize he blew all competition out. Seriously you can have favorites but picking a top 10 is ridiculous. How you gonna put Tupac up there for example and not mention Nas or Guru? How could you put Biggie up and not mention Big Pun or Big L?
@@lethalassassin1754 You said all this to say what exactly? I have Nas , L, Big and Pac in my top 5..... I actually can put Pun up there also, so I never said he shouldnt be there.
Jadakiss kills every time
Best one
Nicks the size of PlayStation memory cards lol😂 he spitting that tough on a sunshine Anderson beat lol😂
Facts
Cameron ate and the Lloyd banks and Tony Yayo at the end was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who remembers the BET UNCUT, Comic View days??? You had to be there🔥
Vro 👌
Me
Facts 💯💪🏾
BET Uncut?? Tip drill, p poppin...epic times
Time for freaking time to jump clean in them tight ass jeans!!!!!
Malice went off and Bleek always been mad underrated. At least he got shine with Rocafella
No malice a beast
Love malice....bleek, idunno bro, I never really liked his approach and deliver, always seemed like he was trying to hard....I did like him on "round here" tho
@@ironloins Bleek got bangers tho, he don’t get his just dues.
@@ironloins I only fucked with his 1st two albums
That malice “freestyle” is the intro from the Lord Willin album.
Beanie and Killer Mike only ones actually freestyling.... But that damn pet cemetery line from Cam got damn 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Naw lil flip freestyles like he wrote it that’s why it only took him 5 mins to write verses
This is talent. Not a single one of them sounds the same!
Cam is so cool with it man
Lloyd Banks at 5:36 impressed me the most, only cause I never saw him as being a freestyle type.
He raps like a machine, just look at his eyes, they're like gazed over, dude is focused without any expression.
He was the best one wit the bars and punch line out of g-unit
what he spit at 5:30 wasnt a freestyle. It was the same verse he did from Obie Trice song We All Die One Day which came out before this Rap City appearance. It was dope....but it definitely wasn't off the dome
Banks once said he don't freestyle for free so he wasn't into it but killed it
Dude was str8 Trash!
“ Homie mama used to dry cloths on the cloths line, now the kid rich with his own cloths line” that’s heat
I’m 37 I was in HS from 99/2003 @ 4-6 everyday we was watching Rap City and Maury to place bets to see if he’s the daddy or not. 😂
Not placing bets 😂😂
@@boogie224 im 💀💀
Almost everyone was. It was either bet or maury on all day and cartoon network
I'm the same age and right there with you bro LOL
Same here class of ‘02! I loved the booth on Rap City! 💃🏾🙌🏾🔥
This era undefeated...nobody sounded the same and diff beats...
Say it again Judah 👍🏾👍🏾
Right on Zab
Lloyd Banks freestyle is 🔥
This whole shit was fire bro 🤣🔥💪🏾
Banks and yayo on the hood hop beat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Malice was and still is a problem!! VA in the building! 🙌🏽
He a wholesome Christian man now.
2 up 2 down!!!!!
@@JonJon-du9ne nothing but respect for him! I’ve had the chance to talk with him.. very humble and approachable
@@bloodred1521 yessir!!
I miss the times when everybody had their own style. Everybody sounds the same nowadays 🤨
@lil auzy thank u
That’s if you only listen to trap music
Drill and trap rap everyone sounds like they’re going to jail or will be dead soon.
Where did hip hop go wrong this was the great times truly under rated 🔥
Agreed
Social media killed it. Back in the day you had to be talented to get put on. The Island Boys are a perfect example of this
@@joechalmers8428 lol 😂 I totally agree the island boys is a great example of how the game is just washed up #bringbackrealhiphop
@@danatizbabytv5294 🤣🤣🤣
@@joechalmers8428 died before social media blew up
Not Having Ludacris on here is criminal!! Or Cam'ron when he was counting money!!
Steele (Of Smith N Wesson) Did His Thang... They Were Highly Underrated.
Banks killed it
STEELE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
LLOYD BANKS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
TONY YAYO 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Harlemn murk ny

Duck Down 4 LIFE...R.I.P. Sean Price!!!!!
Love Banks and Yayo one, but Malice killed his too. Back during the Clipse days, I always thought Malice was better than Pusha.
Because he is
same here
I concur
Pusha said Malice is better than he is. Thats why he was salty he left
Malice was like takeoff for the migos, just better the their members
Bleek was snappin!
Kiss blacked out!
Cam was on one!
This was my era.
Respect to Lloyd Banks and T Yayo. I didn't know that got in the booth
Banks a lyricist for real! I didn't know until I heard more of his music. That was his main part n the G UNIT
@@damonmcmann5293 you didn't know lol, from day one banks is gunit, the best rapper by country mile his catalogue is underrated
U gone remember the gods with Nicks the size of playstation memory cards 🙌🙌🙌 Jadakiss
That’s my favorite Wayne era
Yup that “after u pick up and drop” Wayne hahahaha
Jadakiss killed it.
What's jaddas bit?
Big FACTZ
@@mohamedmusicsheikh6268 Sunshine Anderson - Heard It All Before
Always
Oml n Loyd
man I still remember them days when I used to rush home from school to watch BET rap city in tha basement and 106 n park both used to be my favorites and other more as well maaann I miss those days, shoutout to Big Tigger cuz he used to hold his own freestyling from the top of the dom for real and them conversations with all of them legends in that basement yeah I said it every rapper that ever made inside of that basement is a legend to me cuz those moments are all legendary to me ya heard
Seeing Malice alongside pusha pharell and chad hugo in their day is special man.
Red, killa cam, n kiss killed it 🤘🏽
Bank's killed this shit 💯
Jadakiss is hands down the illest with the freestyles there ever was.
Rap City era is untouchable
See this is back when guys used to come original. Nobody sound the same, everybody spit the flow thay represented their area and state. I miss this style of hip hop. This is back when the music was authentic and original.
That jadakiss one was hard af
Beanie Sigel’s reminds me of a ticking time bomb.
Facts beans digs deep and pulls gems out from that dark spot!
Sunshine Anderson heard it all before was the instrumental Jadakiss was rapping off of they all killed it in my opinion rather freestyle or written love rap city back in the day miss those days the show was 🔥
That's the EXACT one I wanted to knowledge. thanks
Everyone rapped completely different from bars and subject matter to word play and rhyme schemes 🔥
I don’t blame Redman for using that verse again for React with Erick Sermon because it was 🔥
Thought I was the only one that caught it 😂 played too much nba street as a kid lmao
@@NasteyNate that’s a fact bro. Definitely need a remaster or a reboot especially with how the NBA is today🔥
Memphis Bleek used his verse from his album track Alright too
How did I just Discover this channel. Bringing back all the memories. Real emcee shit.
Kiss,Banks,Sigel...Killer Mike only one that actually freestyled tho respect
Only Killer Mike and Lil Flip rapped off the top
It's all freestyles but jut like 1-800- pipeline said Killer Mike and Lil flip went off the dome..... that's another level and I think beanie sieges went back and forth with off the head and written also
@@AlSmithCleanUpENT I agree on that Beans assessment
Bruh cut it out lol Killer Mike was the only one that really freestyled. All them other shits was pre written. That Banks verse was on a song
@@Jehu_Adonai I highly doubt "Da Freestyle King" Lil Flip didn't rap off the top
Beans snapped real quick lol 😂
🗑
@@newhire4915 must be out ya mind if you ain’t think Sigel snapped
@@newhire4915 what's the hate about?
@@215thuglord get out your feelings, not liking a freestyle aint hate bruh, yall be kinda gay over some of these rappers fr
Wayne and Jadakiss🔥🔥🔥
Brought back so many memories.
that is hip hop, bars my friends.
just about everybody the was shown is still rocking until this day.
CLASSIC!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Steele murdered it at the end:
"The specialist, intelligent lyricist
Analyst with a spliff.
Rap pugilist, a black confucius
Sharp Sagittarius, you cowards is useless."
Straight lyrical murder 🎤🔥.
Steele's freestyle was my favorite here. 💯
RIP to 94 - 20010
Especially that mixtape era of 99-08
Somebody should just give Redman another mill to chill we with he really was one of the greatest underrated rappers
Back when we use to come home from school and watch The Basement..Hits from The Street..Then late night watch some BET UNCUT..( I need a Tip Drill!!! That's the video that ended BET UNCUT, but Nelly went out with a bang for the fellas!! Ludacris too with Pu**y Poppin)Or some BET Midnight, listening to Floetry,Maxwell,Janet Jackson,Donell Jones Jahiem..Back when we use to talk on chat lines,and every guy said they were light skinned with green eyes..lol.Never in a million years would I have known those were the last greatest times we were going to experience, that was the last greatest era, before social media created a whole new generation..I miss the big white tee shirts and baggy clothes days
You just retold my entire teen years! Lol I miss those days too.
Facts! Damn.
Lloyd Banks and Tony yayo.. this freestyle I used to listen to every day in Middle School. They thought it was mine. And then the basement came on and ruined the lie..
. LOL good time
Never heard of Steele but he went off too, damn.
Smif n Wessun
Changed the group name to Cocoa Brovaz because of Smith and Wesson (gun manufacturer) was threatening to sue them.
Duck Down 4 LIFE...R.I.P. Sean Price!!!!

Beanie killed his freestyle
Banks🔥
Steele (Smif-n-Wessun).......

Wayne hotboy freestyle 🔥🔥🔥
Hold up Wayne, you know what Wayne? Imma get this car and do donuts, Wayne. Now wait Bubba, you gone make me go buy a grey hummer, and put my name in diamonds on the license plate Bubba.
What beat was that
Totally Awesome 👏
9:06 Shuts it down!!👀💣🔥
Damn, Wayne set that shit off... forgot about that verse
Shit was wack.
@@user-xe5fz6se9j none of these were wack bro… come on now
@@user-xe5fz6se9j 😂😂😂😂
@Cheating Scooby Doo I haven’t. Heard a number of them too.
I was waiting for Banks freestyle 5:33 before I could validate this list. A+ for this video
I will miss this show because everyone always brought it on the mic and some of these raps were on their albums but still sounded good anyways and to bad hip hop doesn't sound this good anymore. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Steel murdered it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Duck Down 4 LIFE...R.I.P. Sean Price!!!!!!
Steele murdered that beat.
Duck Down 4 LIFE...R.I.P. Sean Price!!!!!
Damn those were the days jumping on metro north hanging out on 125th and Lennox at the record store jamming to all of these Kings smoking that good good music and rapping has evolved so much and I’m still here for it🙋🏾♀️💯🔥🔥🔥🥰❤️
Amazing video.
Jadakiss killed it closed casket. This video was missing T.I. though 🤷🏾♂️
What a time to live .... Remember 106 & park afterwards 🤧
Yayo got me dying 😂 wen he was hyping up banks I miss this era
MCs dreamed about freestyling on Rap City. It was right of passage
These are all outstanding verses. I'm not trying to be that guy, but unless you've been in a studio session, idk if you can appreciate how precise Jadakiss' flow is. His cadence and lines match the beat in a way that's preternatural for a one take.
Kiss hands down. Everything else sounds thrown together.
I love this you g
That Bleek rap was on his song we will be alright ft 9th wonder and produced by him
Love that track
DAMN I MISS HIP-HOP, and as people of the culture we HAVE to take it back, we need to come together and support real MC's
Dammm I miss Rap City and the good era of rap music back in the day. #MakeHipHopGreatAgain🎤
Best era ever period
I jad this DVD back in the day... Way back.. 🚒 🔥
THE FUNK DOCTOR SPOCK!!!!
I ain't know Yayo had it like that tho!!!!
Banks Rap IQ over 9000.
Agreed he my second favorite g unit member after 50
Can't nobody today rap like this without a 808 beat smh.... Damn I miss this Era
Had to click on the beans man the beans was cold on the mic back in the day had to stop at the beans man .
yayo
Steele got the most effortless flow .. general Steele bars are top tier
Duck Down 4 LIFE...R.I.P. Sean Price!!!!!
Nice 🔥
Killa killed dat Pet Cemetery part.🥶
