Lyrics:
[Intro]
Yeah
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've found him. I want you to meet the baddest motherfucker in town
(Right on, right on, right on)"
Who is it?
Well it's Grand Puba, honey (I like it)
With my man Stud Doogie, love (I like it)
Droppin' 2000 (I like it)
Dig the way this go down (I like it)
Check it
[Verse 1]
I hit a flow all dipped in 'Lo
Sit back and sip Moe as I count my dough
Grand Puba Maxwell, Doogie, comin' with the New York
We keep it real like jail when we mic talk
Honeys know 'cause when I'm in the set
Grand Puba is the one who makes they stink box wet
So let me tell ya somethin' lady
When ya flow this flow then it's all cream and baby
I made this one for the (brothers in the party)
To find a hottie and dance body to body
Step one, first you grab honey by the waist
Step two, then you move at a ghetto pace
Step three, then ya look her dead in the face
Step four, now it's time to leave this place
Hold up, be careful of the cheesa's, the teasa's
The one who wants the money and the Visa's
I'ma tell honeys straight off the bat
But please don't even go there with that, dig it
This one's designed to make your spine in your back wind
Grand Puba lights it up for you every time
[Hook]
Ooh, yeah I like it
And ya say New York City (I like it)
Ooh, yeah I like it
And ya, and ya say New York City (I like it)
Ooh, yeah I like it
And ya say New York City (I like it)
Ooh, yeah I like it
And ya say (I like it)
[Verse 2]
Could it be I've stayed away too long
Thief MC's be wishin' I was gone
Because they wanna be where I are
But ya can't get that far, so stop wishing on a star
It's only one Grand P
So honey do what you did on the night you creeped with me
It's no doubt I come real with that, the butter track
The one that makes the honeys hit the bed mat
I'm energetic, poetic, athletic, with good credit
So just move like I'm Simon and I said it
Ya see, my flow is just a step ahead
I'm still wicked in a bed because I'm down right nasty like newlyweds
So back up and let me breathe
Cause when it comes to gettin' down, I'm gettin' looser than a crackhead's hair weave
And I, betcha by golly wow
Ya never find another style like this if ya search a million miles
So why'n cha let Puba nice your party
I hit a flow like Al Jarreau
See, I've been doin' this for years
I'm leavin' MC's in tears, tears, dig it
Cause they fallin' just like the rain
Grand Puba's too much for the brain
Now gold diggers who try to get it
I left 'em backwards, they thought they farted when they shitted
Cause Puba's everything, and everything is Pu
Cause I hit 'em with the (one), and then with the (two)
Yeah, cause that's just how Grand Pu and Stud Doogie do
Ya didn't know I was the bomb, baby?
Somebody should've told you, somebody should have told you
[Hook]
Ooh, yeah I like it
Ooh, yeah I like it
And ya say New York City, no doubt (I like it)
Ooh, yeah I like it
And ya say New York City (I like it)
Ooh, yeah I like it
Ha ha, and ya say
[Outro]
Cause we get down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down
Cause we get down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Down for ours, we get down, no doubt
Ninety-five Flav, and I'm out
Ooh, yeah I like it
Ooh, yeah I like it

AND YOU SAY NEW YORK CITY 🗣️📣🔥🔥🔥
Ooooooooh and I LIKE IT🗣️📣🔥🔥🔥
I remember playing tony hawk as a kid while this track played. crazy nostalgia
It's retardedly insane how nostalgic this is , this track and trying to find a balance by atmosphere some of the best songs on THUG2
Was tellin my girl the same thing then i looked at this comment... coincidence
Me too
Bro thank you for that memory, I had no idea when I clicked
Bam margera and the guy in the wheelchair. Best skating game of that era for sure.
Still one of the dopest joints ever. I remember discovering this in THUG 2. Absolute butter
Max G me too, such a banger of a soundtrack
THUG had great stuff too. First connections to the culture. A few years later i began to understand it.
THUG got me into Jurassic 5, Quasimoto, Mr. Lif, Jugganots and all that good stuff.
@9470ahalb I just found out MF DOOM had a song on the soundtrack a few days ago...
@@toddb7669 yes and the beat was from "the herbaliser" british dopeness :)
@@JusDOrange9470 bro all the Tony hawk games had the dopest stuff. Tony hawk put me on to Del the funky homosapien, gang starr, ra the rugged man, madlib, nas, i cant even remember what else i first heard on THPS
One of the best flows ever.
Slippery and precise.
Underrated
Fact
like simon coz i said itttt
perfectly put
@Kian Tinn sorry but Grand Puba is streets ahead of Smooth B
Grand puba was legendary. Still bumping this artist's music in 2024. Who's with me?
Absolutely fam!
💯
Me!!!
Present!
💯
2024 💯 This is timeless 🔥👌🏾
Damn I remember 15 years old 95' dropping my pops off at the Newark International Airport because he was in the Army about to do a tour in South Korea. I was sad as hell going back to the Jersey Shore down the Garden State Parkway and this came on HOT 97.1 New York City and cheered me the fuck up. PEACE Grand Pu
@JustJuan GoodCitizen nice to hear of your vivid memory. Didn’t this track make you feel at ease, cause you were in the East at this glorious time! I first heard this in my first time to Washington Heights NYC, in the passenger seat of my Dominican friends car & it TOO CAME ON HOT 97! I was awestruck ✨💫 most likely the same day or week, revolutionary sound
…and you say New York City?
☮️
🤜🤛
This is the type of beat I wish rappers used again.
Tasty Churro Just ran into very recent leak that heavily samples this track currently titled “Set Me Free” -Juice WRLD
Curren$y used it on the song GRAND off his Weed and Instrumentals 3.Check out his music 🎶 if you’re not too familiar with him
This beat sounded so mystical when I was a teenager😅
@@meyou5789 still holds water imo
Curren$y rapped over this check him out
One of rap's most timeless, evergreen songs IMO. Grand P deserves more credit
Your right Puba’s voice is so prolific and iconic!
@@sierraxx9979 he really was a lot of the genius behind Brand Nubian. Always a good verse on features too
One of the best beats ever
The definition of "Skating on a track"
This track was fucking sick while skating in tony hawk's underground 2, It's no wonder while I love old school hip hop, because of that game.
Man what!!! One of the greatest games of alltime!! #Memories!!
No lie
What an amazing soundtrack in that game🤌
Still, one of the hardest beats ever made. It's one of my go-to examples of a perfect hip-hop record. Flawless...
The minimalistic beats are the best. Every instrument has its room and so does the voice. I love it
Yup 👍
NC Music🙌🏾 Classic Producers from here. All these years and ppl still sleep
INDEED
Sampling "Never My Love" by the Association another great song. Real recognize real.
So glad to see all of you here
Kan💓💯
The world would be a better place if music still had this smooth vibe 🥰
*Only 18* 👇👇👇

Underground hip-hop is still kicking, you just gotta look 👌
GenX is the greatest... They don't know about our flow.. We grew up smooth and full of love.. We had all the best music..!
Back when music still had flavor.
🚨🗣💯🎼💯🗣🚨
Endless nights on THUG 2 💛
u knowwww
I've a Grand Puba fan since Masters of Ceremony to Brand Nubian!One the dopest illest MC's ever,he deserves more recognition. He is the epitome of an MC.
Cracked Out! 👍🏽
Nighttime Boston is made twice as atmospheric when this song kicks in. Man, THUG2 really was a masterpiece among videogames.
Here in 2020, never letting this song go
KingOfTheApex straight up
KingOfTheApex facts
True Indeed
Me neither
NEVER.
This song is timeless, alot of haters hated on this song, but now it's a timeless classic 💯🔥👏🏽👍🏽
The hook to this joint is heavenly! Forever rocking!
This *SLAPS* harder than the pavement when you fall off your skateboard.
And that’s HARD!!!
Take it from a skater since 1977.
Respect.
I heard this in 95 as a little kid. AND my older brother recorded over it on a tape. 25 years later I happened to hear it on an old school mix earlier today for about 15 seconds. I had to do a lot of searching to find it with the limited information "And they say New York City" now I can send it to him and tell him the goodness he recorded over
Aint it great when you find the song from a scrap of lyric and a melody kicking around in your head? Exactly how I rediscovered this tune.
The most chilliest track for doin tricks in THUG 2👐🏼👐🏼💯
Playing Tony hawks underground 2 on gba and this song.. Man, this song. After all these years it's one of the only two I can remember instantly. Just love it. Hands down one of my best core-childhood-memory. And I know it is for a lot of yall.
This, pain by Jimmy eat world and ring of fire are the only 3 I remember.
Had it on ps2
One of my fav games ever
who is it.... classic 2020 still bumping!
Glad I was a part of this era! Beats were crazy!
Song brings a Tear to Your Eye. So Beautiful ✊🏽. Takes me back to Good Times👌🏽
Just discovered this now. Will be on repeat for days 😂 ❤🎤
Better late than never. You just stumbled upon a real classic 👌🏾
I would love to listen to this song for the first time ever again and again 😂 there’s no better feeling than finding good music that resonates with you
JUST DISCOVERED THIS AND WRITING THIS AS IT PLAYS THE 1ST TIME. GOTTA REPEAT THIS MANY TIMES TO O.D. ON IT❗
Welcome to the Soul Brother’s Hip Hop.
One Love.
Grand pupa is easily best brand nubian member.
Grand puba is definitely one of my top 5 emcees,funny how he's never mentioned with the greats ,very slept on
Totally snoozed on!
So many slang terms came from Grand Poo.Effortless flow.
Phife (Dawg)....
INDEED
You ain't neva lied! 👍🏽 This my boy!
Smooth classic hip hop song memories of my childhood
Me too I remember seeing the video on The Box station back in the day
discovered this gem in summertime. I was bumping this everyday with my homies while driving beach to beach on cozy, red and blue sunsets. Cannot express this feeling with words. It was beautiful.
Nice 👌🏾
Just that; Beautiful Son!
Respect and One Love
This track is so complete, smooth & nasty.....big love for Grand Puba
Our era is the last of dope beats.....R.I.P TO REAL HIP HOP
I wouldn’t say last but I remember growing up to playing this in a video game and there definitely is a vibe with your times music that I wish our generation had tbh
untrue, beats can still be dope, just different now. stop gatekeeping a culture
@@ttdanimations1231 you cant compare golden 80s 90s 2000s hiphop beats to trap/drill beats nowdays in the 2020s these days you can have dope beats but can they make dope lyrics ?
@@fatobeko3181 yes, they definitely can have dope lyrics. JID, conway, benny the butcher, j cole, kendrick, redveil, joey badass, earl sweatshirt, mavi, pusha t, domo genesis, tyler the creator, black thought, denzel curry, little simz, etc.
hip hop is in a renaissance of lyricism and creativity and oldheads refuse to accept that styles change because you assume that what you hear on the radio represents the whole genre.
also, both trap and drill started in the 00s.
@@ttdanimations1231 those rappers are all 2010s if im not mistaken its about now the new gen its not positive
Tony hawk underground 2. Oh the memories..
The way that beat fades into the background in the middle of his verse, genius production.
also thanks for the full uncut version @Tommy boy.
Love this classic track.
8th grade, ps2 , Tony hawks underground 2🥹
ladies and gentlemen...i found it....
Right on! Right on! Right on~...
tony hawk jaunt
xd
Thug2. Super Best Friends Play. Woolie and Matt
WHO IS IT??
I heard this joint the first time when I was eating at a fine dine restaurant in Detroit before driving home back to the Chi..
Once I got on the road, I played this over and over and over!!! This joint reminds me so much of my times in Detroit
One of the sickest beats I ever heard!
Puba was highly underated.
Thanks Joey bad ass for introducing me 💯💯💯
Still bumpin this joint in '24. Puba was 💯 on the mic
Factuals
10/10 hip hop. This is it. This it itttt
Classic. Our beats were chill. Nothin but fly. 🔥
2am Saturday morning and I'm wrapping my night up overthinking smoking a Doobie with this full blast in my headphones...ahh adulthood is something else
Dope.
One Love.
I always appreciated music from Tony Hawk. But damn my mom is the real MVP for working hard to provide me these experiences.
No words can justify the genius of Puba...
Legendary 😮💨🔥
Good memories from Tony Hawk's Underground 2 🥰
This is a highly underrated album i wish people would interview the guys who went the alternative route in early hip hop
i still road trip to the 2000 album hehehehe!! u ain't alone!!
Definitely 💯 and what's your top 3 songs from the album?
@@akuTee2010Elle i need to do that aswell, if im going anywhere far I'm zoning into the album. Also Whats your top 3 songs from the 2000 album?
That Beat Is CRAZY, Likewise!!!
Grand Puba and Brand Nubian! Sooooo Classic! True hip hop!
When you love a song but you don’t wanna play it out.. this ish hits every time
Yo that is facts!
This is definitely on my "never gets old" Playlist
@@therealboxinggrind942 I liked it every since I found the tape in the 90's under my mom's stereo console.
@@dorianpaisley-smith303 the beat plus the resung lyrics from other classics stuck .
This was his best solo album
Chills forreal
Every time I hear this joint my mind immediately goes back to my hometown Washington DC that’s where I first heard it back in 96
Yeeeeeees!!!!!👏💯👏💯 I remember hearing this in 1995 in D.C too! I lived there for that year...
One of the prettiest samples ever.
Pu was a top 3 rapper then.
Today he woulda got sued by about 10 people for making this song.
Uber smoothe...fly with clear lyrics.
I can't deny this is on my Top 5 Singles of all Time!!!!!!! Much praise....
I miss this era.
The beat makes this jam a Classic 💪🏼👑
OLE SCHOOL SHITZZZZIT...... FOREVER
had this album on tape cassette long ago in the mid 90's, remember getting it from hmv.
Another classic from that old school east coast shit
Melodic FKN Hip-hop!🔥🔥🔥

@@Mark-wr1hz You can get it for PC with THUG Pro mod which brings all levels from other games etc.
"Now gold diggers who try to get it
I left 'em backwardds, they thought they farted when they shitted
Cause Puba's everything, and everything is Pu"

So smooth even in 2024 even in 3000. Wow what a track head to toe
Rip Stud Doogie
IF THEY DON'T PLAY THIS INSTRUMENTAL AT MY FUNERAL...I am NOT SHOWING UP...WORD
