I was a little disappointed that he didn't use the beginning of the end sample from the original intro, but that transition was so smooth it was more than worth it.
I just turned 50 a few days ago. This song has been ringing in my spirit the entire time. It’s all I can think about as think about my first half century
They definitely do STILL make music like this my friend. I collect rare Jazz/HipHop/Funk/Soul/Electronic/beats on vinyl and a good majority of my favorites within my collection are from the 2010s! You just gotta look. It’s ALL underground.
Just listened to this beat for 3 hours on repeat 3 days ago and here i am again. I will never get tired of this beat, absolute masterpiece and my favourite Pete Rock beat.
It's music like this that I always play basketball to in life as well. This track, Rakims When I Be On The Mic, Guru Hustlin Daze, Onyx Slam, I could go on for days lol
I loved this beat growing up. And then later in life I discovered Jefferson Airplane's "Today"... the sample comes from a jazz version of it. And all the meanings of these songs are now melding together in my brain. Fantastic stuff.
The first time I became a fan of this track was back when NBA Street Vol.2 came out. I played that game everyday non stop. Loved that game. Then I heard this track play in the background of one of my matches. Went Straight to the options menu and only made this track play anytime I was in a match. Especially through the career mode. Something about hoopin’ to this track just made the game so much cooler. When I think of hip hop I think of this track 🔥😎
Dude, street vol.2 cemented this song into my brain. I can so vividly remember starting up my Xbox just to play this and being blessed with this on start-up. It's literally still stuck in my head after 20 years.
Pretty much the first if not the ONLY thing that comes to mind when I hear this song is me as a kid in middle school, loading up the game, getting to the title screen and letting that shit play while I go microwave my pizza rolls or chicken nuggets.
The first time I heard this beat, it did something to me. I ran out and bought and played the hell out of it. I still feel the same way when I hear it today only a little sadder because those were better times. It did feel like it going through it then, but I’d take that time back in a heartbeat over now…
Hip-hop producers had some of the best ears it’s amazing how they could take bits and pieces of different rackets and come up with a dope ass track. Much respect. I’m glad I go up in that era hip-hop, forever back then and now.
Amazing!! One of the Best Beats, including Lyrics by Pete Rock and CL Smooth that are Relevant today! Classic and Timeless!! Loving the Bass, Drums and Saxophone!!! Thank you for the Upload, Excellent Job!
still here 10/2021 ...cant help it, the whole vibe is clear like it was yesterday ((head bob, hands in tha air)) wowwww an now I have it extended instrumental whaaaaa
This beat feels so far ahead of it’s time but also matches the era when it dropped perfectly this song is truly one of the greatest with/without lyrics in a perfect universe Pete rock and J dilla coulda flipped this sample together and create an anthem for hip hop from it
I wish Pete Rock and CL Smooth would get back together and make music. The music they made together really bangs well. If anyone hasn't heard their "The Main Ingredient" album, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get it. Its one of the albums i've ever heard.
Damnnnn thank you 24 mins of dopeness !!!! That transition of the sample at the beginning was so smooth (no pun intended) I can't thank you enough for uploading this
Funny, I'm 64 years old with eclectic and fairly well-educated tastes in music. I don't recognize where any of this comes from. I just like because it sounds good.
I always wished that they did a Part II to this song with Pete Rock doing his family three or maybe Heavy D explaining his side of the family since him and CL Smooth are cousins.

Jazz gave birth to a son called Hip hop.
All I do is listen to Both and littery Compose Both ..... Since I was a Teen
Im 32 now .
Your Comment is Beautiful ... It is True 💯 God Bless ~1~
Think you mean daughter
this comment.. thats beautiful man
A match made in heaven. For real
@@zion4400 tf
I can listen to this for 25 minutes straight with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
I know the feeling 😣
the single greatest hip hop beat ever made
I concur.
One of the greatest.... Not the single greatest tho....
@@deejay5102 I would say shook ones pt 2
Electric relaxation is up there too
Any number if given beats have their moment in time but this is no doubt a classic
The transition was smooth, Pete rock and CL would be proud
I was a little disappointed that he didn't use the beginning of the end sample from the original intro, but that transition was so smooth it was more than worth it.
True
I agree! 😎
If hip hop had a theme, this would it💯
Fucking brilliant mate true shit
It is.
Absolutely!!! 💯! ✌️ suuuuuuu!!!
This and 93 till infinity 2 of the most iconic beats ever.
Factsssss
200% agree with you!!!
Yeah 93 till is another gem
5000000
Maybe for jazz rap beats those two are the best. I’d say the best two beats of all time are troy and shook ones pt 2
I just turned 50 a few days ago. This song has been ringing in my spirit the entire time. It’s all I can think about as think about my first half century
I was 5 when this song came out and I feel like a little kid dancing in my room every time I hear this song at the age of 35
Early 70s best time to enter this earth. We grew in the prime of Hip Hop.
Probably the only hip-hop song that makes me sad because I can't help but reminisce about the good times past and the people I've lost along the way.
Good lord they don't make beats like this anymore. Stratospheric level of legend right here.
Great articulation my friend!! No better wrdz 💪✊🙏🙌
Thank you 🙏

@@dirtyjoe5694 make a channel! Bring this gold back to community
Finally a comment that does justice
This is what I imagine hearing when I pass away. peace
If we could all only be so lucky
This beat is literally perfect. Zero flaws.
when it came to using horns in the 90's no one did it better than Pete Rock......
“Let’s paint a picture of someone we love...maybe someone who’s not with us anymore...”
Bob Ross starts blasting...
I can't hear this song without thinking about the greatest Boondocks episode ever.
Yeah...
I walk beside the beast within.😌
Riley wiz here🔥
I ain’t trying to be in here crying right now chief.
I always shed a tear when hearing this because of that one beautiful boondocks episode
what is the episodes name?

Just listened to this beat for 3 hours on repeat 3 days ago and here i am again. I will never get tired of this beat, absolute masterpiece and my favourite Pete Rock beat.
welcome back, i guess you can say you were... reminiscing on this beat
NBA Street Vol 2 boys when they reminisce over you.
Played stretch for the extra nostalgia
yessirrrrrrr thats the best sports game fam. where I found this masterpiece as a 6 year old
I scrolled down looking for this. Those games shaped my taste in music. YO ITS YA BOY, DJ CUCUMBA SLICE
It's music like this that I always play basketball to in life as well. This track, Rakims When I Be On The Mic, Guru Hustlin Daze, Onyx Slam, I could go on for days lol
Oh my...
Jefferson Airplane meets Pete Rock & CL Smooth??
😍🤩
they reminisce, they reminisce...
I loved this beat growing up. And then later in life I discovered Jefferson Airplane's "Today"... the sample comes from a jazz version of it. And all the meanings of these songs are now melding together in my brain. Fantastic stuff.
Yes!!! Jefferson Airplane!!! I enjoy both versions!!!
nba street vol 2
Heard this song for the first time in high school 1991 ,been in love with it ever since!
I wake up every morning roll a nice blunt and then listen to 24 minutes of bliss

Really wish they’d rerelease Vol 2 & the first NBA Street online…….. that series was🔥🔥🔥
BINGO 💰🙏🏽😎🔥
@@ImBirdBrainedFACTS 😎🙏🏽💰🔥 that game and this song is GOATED
While Troy's death was untimely and tragic...we can at least be grateful that it inspired this masterpiece
That transition was smooth AF.
Everytime I start getting lazy and not wanting to hit the gym I throw this jam on and im ready. Brings back memories !!!
yo the intros to these joints with the loops is awesome.
“Let’s paint a picture of someone you love…… Perhaps someone who’s not with us anymore” ❤💯🙏🏾
I have been waiting for an extended version. Now, it is not necessary for me to play the original cut 10 x in a row. 🤔😎
Alleycat1921 word 2 mother!!!🙌🏿
Why the hail isn't it?! It's never not super necessary!!! 😂
@@husasizzle one of those songs where the words are just as moving as the beat
Used to love looping this instrumental on the tables like this.
The greatest hip hop instrumental of ALL TIME
Tom Scott gave birth to an infinite gem with this one. Thanks for keeping it alive G
Up early in the AM fixing breakfast and grooving to this reminisce 🥰
Pete Rock said it best....”J Dilla”
The single greatest hip hop beat ever. Nuff props Pete Rock never gets old..
.
the level of skill and genius it took to make this song is an unbelievable shout out to Pete Rock and CL smooth✌✔✨
The first time I heard this beat, it did something to me. I ran out and bought and played the hell out of it. I still feel the same way when I hear it today only a little sadder because those were better times. It did feel like it going through it then, but I’d take that time back in a heartbeat over now…
All this time i thought this song was utterly perfect....until i heard this version.....Godlike 😳
This was just auto playing off a random playlist. Wasn’t expecting that transition towards the beginning it gave me chills! Just right
WAAAAAAT THEY HAVE AN EXTENDED VERSION OF THIS😭😭😎😎
He actually extended it with the saxophone sample
One of my favorite songs of all time they reminiscing over you by Pete rock and C.L. smooth great extended version too thumbs up!
Hip-hop producers had some of the best ears it’s amazing how they could take bits and pieces of different rackets and come up with a dope ass track. Much respect. I’m glad I go up in that era hip-hop, forever back then and now.
Sends chills up my spine...
Doing a service to the people my friend!!
***Whew***, something in my eye here....man, this is fiyah, brings back a lot of memories of good people.

Twenty six people need a dry slap... this represents the 90s and good times

Today from Tom Scott, it's been pitched down to match.
This track literally make me Reminisce.
I always wished that they did a Part II to this song with Pete Rock doing his family three or maybe Heavy D explaining his side of the family since him and CL Smooth are cousins.
This always take me back to more simple times...
And the club jumps when this beat kicks off...
