Brand Nubian - Hold On (Official Music Video)

[@danizm4165]

major props to sadat and LJ for proving that even without puba they could still cut timeless classics!

[@aychemac6429]

Incredible...these two are timeless. Love Puba, but Sadat and Lord J, two of the best to ever call themselves a group. You feel everything from both perspectives. Almost 30 yrs later...classic material hands down!

For some reason,this song popped up in my head and decided to look it up.I remember watching this on Video Music Box in Brooklyn back in the days.The Simply Red sample is everything.

[@thdoom81]

I miss hip hop..i cry when I listen to this..hold on black man..hold on

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

Me too hip hop is dead

[@aaroniic]

@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc It’s not. Just turn the radio off

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

@@aaroniic it's still dead bro the d hip hop would live on but there's not anymore soulful hip hop tracks anymore

[@aaroniic]

@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc I can give you a list lol there’s so many soulful hip hop artists still out fam. The mainstream has been infiltrated but there’s still much great music out that won’t get airplay. This isn’t new though, this infiltration began with Gangster rap in the late 80’s and the whites figured they could capitalize off it which they ended up doing and sadly we went along with the okiedoke

[@rudysinz9769]

That sample hits the Soul I wish they can make one more album hip hop needs this

[@cariocabassa]

Still on top after all dem' yearz!!! Lord Jamar 1st verse is straight knowledge kickin'

Brand Nubia represents the positive movement for all Black People. One day by God's grace I must strive to help the Black American heros,,,even though they have almost no options,,, I'll strive... live and love from Kenya... One of the greatest songs ever

[@XxTrustNoOnexX]

back in the days 💣💣💣

[@ngonsainti]

I had never heard this. It came up in a playlist and I love Simply Red… if you don’t know them, look them up. This is basically their music with rapping over it. Hip hop, rap and Simply Red, what more do I want?

[@MatrixEmulator]

Ive only seen Lord Jamar on VladTV so i decided to check his music and man this is dope

[@xinyingmiao4996]

yeah I like lord jamar

[@beserious1290]

[@jodiebent]

The best and only cover of "Holding back the Years" from Simply Red,mid 80's I'll accept. Professor of Rock did a bio on the original song and story,and gave y'all props.. I heard the chorus and had to. I'm fifty and this takes me back 89ish.

What da actual f**k?! I love Simply Red and I love some songs from Brand Nubian especially this one. I have listened to this song and Holding back the years from Simply Red for like forever. Holding back the years is my go to saudade song and it wasnt only until this morning while listening to it that I clocked that it was the song Brand Nubian sampled for this. My mind was blown.... How did this elude me for so very long 😂🤷

[@vollsticks]

You know, it's a shame that it didn't work out for Brand Nubian. They had it goin' on, especially Lord Jamar. They had soul, flavor and they records had substance. Shoot, that's 3 for 1 and you know you _cain't_ beat that.

[@jeanemlicar]

Too Bad Lord Jamar doesn't write deep lyrics such as this anymore.

[@user-bj3mu5kq3y]

When they said you was taught to Despise what's Black!! Power that be,can't support that, we need deaf and dumb!!

Nowadays it's about nihilism, and narcissism, no body tryna uplift the people.

They wasn't in sync with one another, listen to Jamar verse then listen to X verse, they got nothing to do with each other.
