    these rappers were born from the late 60s and early to mid 70s they sampled so much of their parents music. the 90s will always be top of the list of hip hop the best producers incorporated the samples of the jazz and the soul from decades before it. Hip-hop is history its always cool to actually own the CD or album so you can see who were the geniuses behind of all of masterpieces. .Our music is one of the main factors that makes me proud of being black. Never forget. the music the legacy and where. we came from.

      Exactly. I watched a doc about funk narrated by ?uestlove that explained how there were the instruments left behind to middle class music students. It made me think to how hip hop started, and how Grandmaster Flash thought to keep the best part of the break from those funk/disco records fresh and keep bringing it back. Like even this past week Drake's getting all this love from his latest two joints that pay tribute to Jay and Em in the songs and video

    I’m virtually paralyzed by the intense feelings of nostalgia this elicits from by childhood. Born and raised in BK in the early 80s and still here, this is the music I grew up on in the 90s. Chairman Mao (the DJ-you can Google him) made a mix tape for me; Crooklyn was one of my favorite tracks on it. This was before DUMBO was overtaken by wealth, before the towers were gone, before TImes Square was prostituted to giant corporations, before police were positioned on the Brooklyn Bridge, before anyone cared about Williamsburg, when the RR train ran, when the original Pier 17 was there, when Brooklyn Bridge Park was just a bunch of warehouses, when the Williamsburg Savings Bank was still a bank and people didn’t live in it, when the Beat Street and Music Factory on Fulton Street competed for album signings, when music was non-disposable and you salivated for releases and didn’t forget about what you listened to yesterday on iTunes or Spotify. I could go on and on. I’m not saying today is wrong. I guess I’m just getting old and longing for some of the way things used to be.

I was like "wow!!!". I would have probably lost my job as day camp counselor for trying to take pics with him and trying to talk to him and asking for his autograph, lol or he would've tried to dove me every day when he came in to get his son so I wouldn't speak to him and someone said they saw him at some store on Graham street a few months ago and that's right near where I live, now I'm thinking about going to that store from time to time, lol.

Whole crowd was from Texas and knew nothing about East Coast hiphop so i had to school them that night. Must have played it 6 times. Felt like i had in possession a classic that noone understood that night but my East Coast blood knew. Like Parrish Smith said, "I know your head's bobbing, cause the neck knows". Hiphop heads know a timeless hiphop classic when they hear it the first time.

    I haven't stopped playing this hip-hop tune since I first heard it played on the radio in South London in November 1994 - never bored of it. To me this is the best hip-hop tune ever - it still has me in awe every time I play it both lyrically and musically. Makes me wish I was from Brooklyn. In short this is beautiful HIP-HOP collaboration epitomising the Golden Year of Hip-Hop. My Hip-Hop head knew this would be a Classic the first time I heard it.

    Spring 1994 when this came out. I was 16-can remember like it was yesterday. My life was friends, girls, sports, parties and hip hop (and I guess school too). All 3 rappers blessed this track but Buckshot intro in 1st verse and Masta Aces last verse about 70s TV show are classic. A dude I used work with would ask me to rap Aces last verse. Miss those days
