Every serious lyricist be studying Pharoahe’s bars. Technically dude played with them bars like playdo, shift, shape and still have that shit nicely fitted.
I don't give a fuck what people think this shit and the 90s and 80s was real hip hop dawg, u feel the quality and passion put into the production like they care, now u got rappers on world star releasing mix tapes every month n shit quality sucks but still got people from suburbs to the ghetto bumpin their shit
I felt the same way but at the end of the day it's a legit job. We might not like a lot of the junk that's out but I refuse to keep putting them down. They are only doing what they have to do to survive. If you could make 💰 off of what ever others felt you sucked at you would do it. At least respect what they are "tryna" do.
Lol they're barely & seldom paid to rap anywhere because every block has 99 wanna be rappers who are trying to also be Nino Brown & Scarface except with the intelligence of Forrest Gump.Rap is not a way of survival when I see others just working minimum wage with much more because they know how to save & not try to dress & party like the actual rappers who are paid millions a week .....
You are absolutely right! I read your comment about pharaoh and I literally tried to search for a harder hip hop line couldn't do it! I'm 45 years old I seen hip hop get started I was around with it was an embryo so I know what I'm talkin about! Great post
iraklis perakis He should do just like a freestyle album, I think he's the best rapper in the world and his talents have been kinda fucked up by the market.
This is a prime example of the power of Nate Dogg. His smooth hook turned an overly lyrical hip-hop song into what was a radio friendly classic amidst an era of prominent commercialism. RIP Nate Dogg. Also, Messy Marv's "Oh No pt 2 ft Nate Dogg" is more than worth checking out.
Pharoah Monch is nasty.....hands down. This dude does NOT ever spit a wack verse. He never ceases to amaze me. I was never one of them backpack type dudes with big rasta hats growin up with funny glasses.....but much props to dude and Mos Def as well. RIP Nate. We miss you kid
I was never raised with this type of music, I was never introduced to this type of music, I never heard it blasting from other people's headphones, a long trail of music search and acceptance eventually brought be to this ill fucking beat.
Pharoahe Monch, as well as groups like Wu, Tribe, Pharcyde, Mobb Deep, and many others were spoken to to preserve all the true methods of emceeing in a couple of classic books, *HOW TO RAP* & *HOW TO RAP 2*.
I used to laugh my ass off when Pharoah Monch would say.... "M.C.s just come round, you're the next contestants on Catch a beatdown" I visualize rappers thinking they're going to win a prize like the Price is Right and then shocked and surprised when they're about to catch a beatdown. LMAO!!!
When you come from Hip hop you respect songs like this !! Im coming back as one of the saviors of this hip hop sound keep up and lets keep this culture alive.
As an experienced MC myself I have to say : Pharoahe's flow and delivery here is incredible. My favourite verse of all time. Brilliant and transcending
+Miss Jaye Last The CD is called 'Lyricist Lounge' and good luck finding it. There's actually 2...Lyricist Lounge 1 & Lyricist Lounge 2. If you can't find it hola @ me...malik18a@yahoo.com and I'll hook you up.
"I earned what they said I wouldn't I got in the way they said I couldn't" The simplicity but cleverness of that line. I don't know why but that's my fav line from Mos on this song. Besides the rookie card line.
"OH NO! step away from the mic you're too cold...the 'phone might fracture your nose". this should be the catch phrase/ anthem of today's wack rappers. smh
r.i.p nate dogg nobody sold more with a feature on a album than him he solidified what a great album was back when if u had nate on a hook on ur track on ur album it was basically standard .............. noone willl eva have that candy for my ears again i miss you brother thanks for raising me rite g
Im sorry bro did you say the best? dontchu mean THE BEST LOL you gotta put it in caps when you talkin bout NATE? cant nobody in their right mind argue if NATE DOG was THE BEST hook writer hip hop has ever seen, bar none. Every single hook he wrote made that song a hit.
No hate towards nate dogg but this song is ass idk how yall like this shit ass beat ass beat and they try way too hard to make it ryhme that sometimes it doesnt even make sense
Watching Nate Dogg's Unsung and was reminded of this song. But what caught my eye was, as I said out loud "is that Karlie Redd???" Karlie ass gotta be old. She done been in videos, old TV shows. Get that money Karlie! lol
Hip hop we miss you, but at least we have your memories. I'm blessed that I grew up in the golden age of hip hop. I know many argue about when was the golden age of hip hop, but to me it was the mid 80s to the very very early 2000s. Also R.I.P to Nate Dogg the west coast king of hooks and co-founder of the G funk era!
Pharoahe is so underrated. Dude spits like his life is on the line.
I've said this a million times
That's old school, because your REP used to be on the line (which is sort of like your life). Now its a different world.
I know this is late i went to watch him in england and there were only like 15 people there, bit sad really
Jazz cafe?
Every serious lyricist be studying Pharoahe’s bars. Technically dude played with them bars like playdo, shift, shape and still have that shit nicely fitted.
Nate Dogg tha hookmaster, killed this shit here,,R.I.P
Not just the Master, he is the king of hooks.
I don't give a fuck what people think this shit and the 90s and 80s was real hip hop dawg, u feel the quality and passion put into the production like they care, now u got rappers on world star releasing mix tapes every month n shit quality sucks but still got people from suburbs to the ghetto bumpin their shit

I agree with you on that 100%
you aint lie homie
Pharoahe's verse it's so good it hurts
yup
you know what bites is turning on the radio to hear fetty wap's corny ass voice after you just bumped to this.
"I'm intellectual
Pass more essays
Than motorcade police parades
Through East LA" .... Come on
put that mic boy drop that!!!
It's honestly pound for pound one of the dopest verses ever lyrically. The dude snapped on this beat for real.
Before hip-hop met its untimely death Mos Def, Pharaoh Monche and Nate Dogg gave us the ultimate hip hop track ever.
Its not dead yet IMO. Its worse maybe, but j cole, mac miller, Kanye, are still good. I know mac is dead so maybe that doesnt count
Pharoahe’s verse in this is hands down one of the best in hip hop history !!!
Pharoahe Monch is the highest level of rapping on this planet.
+mondola No.
+wunas96 educate yourself
I've been saying this for years monch is extremely underrated
+mondola mhm .. okay
+mondola lowkey
"I've passed more essays than motorcade police parades through East L.A."
The greatest rhyme in history. Pharoahe is da King!
You are absolutely right! I read your comment about pharaoh and I literally tried to search for a harder hip hop line couldn't do it! I'm 45 years old I seen hip hop get started I was around with it was an embryo so I know what I'm talkin about! Great post
Only song on Earth I can listen to a hundred times in a row without getting bored!!!
R.I.P Nate
I was in 8th grade, this shit still fire 16 years later!!!
Lmao I m in 8th grade now and this song is great IMO
This is top 10 best Pharoahe Monch's verse, no doubt!
iraklis perakis Behind closed doors... two of the best ten lol
I'd also say it's a top 5 nate dogg track. Regulate, Xxplosive, Bitch please 2, til i collapse, oh no!
iraklis perakis He should do just like a freestyle album, I think he's the best rapper in the world and his talents have been kinda fucked up by the market.
Organized Konfusion - Bring It On, another classic from him
especially when it comes to Prisoners Of War!!
I honestly think this might be the best hook/hooks in the history of hip hop
it is certainly sang by probably the best hook singer of rap history
nick halsema not da best.. but top5 hook dat beat was incredible as fuck
nick halsema Nate was the best at hooks plus he was a gangsta that only sings.
@@brothacaim definitely not one of the best.
He is THE best.
This song is something really exceptional. Beat, lyrics and Nate Dogg, damn classics...
Mos Def is also a great actor too, seen some of his movies
stellymae46 what are some of the movies he's been in that you would recommend?
SeshTill IRest 16 Blocks is very good. It should still be on netflix.
rewy11 Thank you.
rewy11 brown sugar
his role in the Italian Job was good too.
This is a prime example of the power of Nate Dogg. His smooth hook turned an overly lyrical hip-hop song into what was a radio friendly classic amidst an era of prominent commercialism. RIP Nate Dogg. Also, Messy Marv's "Oh No pt 2 ft Nate Dogg" is more than worth checking out.
one of my absolute favorite tracks they all killed it
If this wasn't the one of the best rap songs in recent memory, then I have no idea what was..classic
Just pure genius. All three of them were incredible on this. One of the best Hip Hop songs ever.
Pharoahe; OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude is insane. EVERY single bit of his verse killed it.
I miss this type of music...
BigPlayBoi445 amen
Say one more time please
Hallelujah Pharaoh Monch'll do ya maintain my same frame of mind screw ya......DOPE!!!!! Lyricism!!!
Geez they both ripped it but Pharoahe KILLED it.
Pharoah Monch is nasty.....hands down. This dude does NOT ever spit a wack verse. He never ceases to amaze me. I was never one of them backpack type dudes with big rasta hats growin up with funny glasses.....but much props to dude and Mos Def as well. RIP Nate. We miss you kid
Two Legendary verses A Legendary hook A legendary beat. And people don't like this song...
I was never raised with this type of music, I was never introduced to this type of music, I never heard it blasting from other people's headphones, a long trail of music search and acceptance eventually brought be to this ill fucking beat.
Jeremy Contreras then welcome lol

Will check 'em out. Thanks!
Mos killed this!!
RIP Nate Dogg...straight classic. Everything Nate touched was off the charts. True OG...wadup. East Los on top...#respect
This song is STILL ahead of this time!!! 2019-2029!
Forgot how good this is. Pharoahe goes in
Rockin' this in 2018 whaddup!
Hallelujah!
Indeed
He's good in EVERYTHING wtf.
Mos had the bars but Pharaohe had the bars and ill flow on this one.
This one of those great throwbacks. I had the biggest crush on Pharaoh 😌😍
alil too much info there
+Judba Kilam ??? cause I said I had a crush... r u serious... what are u like 12???
Hush now, everything will be alright
+Judba Kilam I'ma need u to go play some where 😂
Ttheloveableone Luvs Hair&Nails Can i bring my toys? I've got flintstone gummies if you like em too..
Monch's verse top 10 all time
Pharoahe had the greater delivery, Mos dropped a deeper verse.
very accurate analysis
not only that his delivery is all based on the fact he has terrible asthma
+Yusuf Bulama yea, pharoh was spiritual and mos went physically deep.
Yusuf Bulama I wish I could flow like that! Love deep intelligent rap!
The fuck are you talking about? Mos Def had a very standard braggadocio verse.
real hiphop......cant get enough Pharoahe and Mos are lyricsts on their own level
Gosh what a classic song!!!!!!!RIP Nate Dogg
I used to laugh my ass off when Pharoah Monch would say.... "M.C.s just come round, you're the next contestants on Catch a beatdown" I visualize rappers thinking they're going to win a prize like the Price is Right and then shocked and surprised when they're about to catch a beatdown. LMAO!!!
Lmyao!! Ur silly af!
wth? Monch was spittin flames my first time hearing this lol
+SkyDiverTO i didnt expect monch to light it up like that either lol
Dam y'all 18 years late smh
CLASSIC, I WAS THE ONLY ONE BANGIN THIS WHEN I WAS A BUCK. NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW THIS WASNT AS KNOWN AS SOME OF THEM RAP POP CHART SMASHES.
R,I.P nate dogg........mos def destroying the beat as usual
+aaron G
With Pharoahe Monche destroying him... Mos def... Or Yasiin Bey..... or whatever his name is nowadays is still one of the best
who mos def is?
+il tizio fuck outta here
Robert Smith because i only know yasiin bey...
+il tizio hmmmmm, ok. Mos Def was his original stage name years ago.
Kill the radio and bring the Golden Era Hip Hop back. This is music!
the golden era was the 80's, it mellowed in the 90's and top off in the early 2000's , now you get sporadic good music these days.
colbert hunter actually the golden era was the 90s and dropped off in the 2000s
@@22K562 actually the golden era is this era
Everybody know the golden era was the 90s!!!!!!
@@j.d.c9778 you have to be joking! 90s and early 2000s had the best both underground and mainstream rap.
This is some classic stuff right here.
Hiphop classic rip nate
I remember hearing this song hella times on the radio going to football practice back in 2000. Good times!!!
one of my favorite colabo's... the beat thumps in my speaker box...
Was watching UnSung, this took me back. I miss Nate Dogg. I'm going to post the classics on my Vine page 😩
its 2015 and i`m still in love with song Wow, it takes me back to the radio station lol
hip hop is dead...this was back when rappin was actually talking about something
+Mack SoBrazy hip hop isn't dead. You just have to find the right artists. Kendrick Lamar, for example, is incredible.
Hunter Ross %100
rip Nate dogg
A few of the best rappers of all time. Hands Down...
“Pass mo essays, than motorcage police perade through east LA” most slept on verse in time
When you come from Hip hop you respect songs like this !! Im coming back as one of the saviors of this hip hop sound keep up and lets keep this culture alive.
This beat is still unmatched!!!!
Its just like in Tupac & Snoop Songs... goes straight to the brain!
Love it!
Oh how I miss real hip-hop music
I kept this shit on repeat back in the day !!
1:43.. you're welcome
Damn I miss the time when music like this actually meant something. Hip Hop died in 2006
lmao
False, search for pro era.
Do your research. Underground artists have a lot to offer. Logic, Yonas, Palmer Squares, Aer etc..
Alex Bwavert lmao logic
Tibe E. lmao... that kind of mainstream sounds so remanufactured. it's not equal
RIP Nate Dogg, terribly missed.
This is what i call -Real Hip Hop.
Everytime when i listen accidentally Drake,Lil Wayne ,Wacka Flocka,Young Thug and whatever, im like : OH NO!
As an experienced MC myself I have to say : Pharoahe's flow and delivery here is incredible. My favourite verse of all time. Brilliant and transcending
Rip Nate dogg 🙏🏼❤️ 90s the best times for hip hop & rap . So miss them times . But to me hip hop 90s will never die
the very first vinyl I bought... I was 15, radios still played some nice songs at the time
A classic . RIP Nate Dogg
In this track mos def climbest the highest mountain ...and finds pharoh monch on top

Remember seeing this video all the time on BET when i was a kid. Rip Nate dogg. Underrated legend.
Monch's verse is the best ever written. Nothing in my life has ever touch that. Amazing!
I had to have this cd.. Anything Nate got on was gonna be hot.

song is solid, but nate really ties it together
Who still listening in 2019??? 🔥🔥🔥
"I earned what they said I wouldn't
I got in the way they said I couldn't"
The simplicity but cleverness of that line. I don't know why but that's my fav line from Mos on this song. Besides the rookie card line.
Pharoahe is easily in my top 10 ALL time
Pharoahe took this one
OS1540 he bodied it
