Brand Nubian - Word is Bond (Official Music Video)

[@ericdallas2018]

I will always love Brand Nubians. They introduced me to The Light. Damn! OUR music ain't teaching on this level no more.😢 Peace to The Gods.

[@tramaineturner5084]

Why am I watching one of ole favorite tv series New York Undercover and this was the song for the opening scene! Aiyeee!! Got me bopping my head!

[@Mark_Liberty_Anderson_Acrimony]

I'm sitting here right now working on Broken Saints: Miami Charter, a Sons of Anarchy/Mayans literary spinoff. And this vid, for some reason, inspires me to keep writing. 👍

[@carltonbanks2865]

Whole album was my shit in the fall of 94, damn it's crazy, wifey & I been together since then, 26 yrs flew by...

[@YoungMesrine]

I'm 22 and I like this type of rap🔥

[@johnbowles6381]

It’s 2024 and still this song still hits!

[@Daybreakhasme]

This album was PRESSURE! I remember this song was played on NY Undercover!! Midwest brotha over here..love and peace everyone!!🤲🏾😎💪🏾

[@GHOST9-w2p]

That's where I just caught it. These cats are classic. Real hip hop is hip hop. That fake hop is cap rock. Got more sole on the bottom of my tube socks, with a 2 piece hair cut, Long in the back, party up front, rock a flat top you know it won't stop brand Nubian rock the sure shot.

[@tramaineturner5084]

I’m sitting up here watching NY Undercover now! They always played the coolest hip hop !

OLD SCHOOL HIP-HOP BRAND NUBIAN WORD IS BOND MUSIC 🎶

[@lathakidd1805]

New York Undercover brought me here. But Brand Nubian is a group that don't get enough credit. Lord Jamar and Sadat X both held their own while Puba went solo but I'm glad they all came back together eventually and not when it was too late💯 salute to the legends of Hip Hop💯

[@LowalwaysOnit]

Friendly neighborhood dealer 😂😂😂 I'm hip cause that's what bought me here too

[@obibyn]

Sadat one of the most underrated flows of all time

[@nicholassealy251]

90s fashion was the best. Everyone had their own style

[@kdee868]

Nick Sealy so much colours in gears...

[@wav.yliving]

Rightt. It was the best 🔥🔥🔥

[@marcclay9125]

Naw.. During any era everyone looked the same. Even now.

[@huskerjeff1]

Damn...I'm getting old...this was fire. What the hell happened to hip hop? Hell, what happened to society??

[@kololoko1541]

All time classic. Sadat x has so much groove in his flow.

[@BThaSmoovUno]

Word life

[@KtotheG]

Sadat X's cadence is so unique. I think Vast Aire was influenced by him.

[@eunacehuntley2776]

Should hear his new ish

[@esseen100]

They repped the culture EXCELLENTLY.

[@Nda54Gem]

Omg!! “I Drive A Cadillac Seville and Still Be Real, Drive a Garbage Truck and don’t Give A..” The REAL & The RAWNESS of this Lyrical Flow!!! Yesssss Sir!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Still N2 2021!!!!!!!!!

[@jonathanbross]

Bars

[@peimeigoldenarmz8765]

The best era of hip hop and conscious rap!!! Damn I miss lyrical education...

[@GozerTheGozerian]

No one even called it conscious back then, it was just hip hop. That was before it was corrupted by dumb shit and overwhelming commercialism.

[@chrisn2125]

100% true

[@BonnieBeats]

@@GozerTheGozerian yup, now we respect it by calling it conscious rap

[@midwestmarauder4821]

Just to think...people thought they were done when Puba left, this album was hard!!!

[@evonza4858]

Done? They haven't even finished 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾and for the record Puba is back and ALL of them are being honored in our hometown of New Rochelle, New York Saturday 9/16/23 in Lincoln park on Lincoln Ave from 3pm to 8pm🥰❤️💚💜💛💙 it's going to be 🔥🔥🔥 l hope you make it and get this message in time 🥰🙏🏽

[@beaniegee5129]

This song was on New York Undercover!! Season 1, episode 9 The Friendly Neighborhood Dealer

[@LaCheleWallace]

That beat is ill, Unc. I miss when brothas used to incorporate jazz flavors into they music.

[@NorthPhilly-zr7xc]

@Kenneth The Golden Child yea he did

[@KtotheG]

@Kenneth The Golden Child I thought it was, too, but it grew on me. A lot of people thought Brand Nubian was biting the West Coast sound on Everything Is Everything... because it was poppin' in the early '90s... even Big and Puff bit it.

[@norekfamily]

YES....jazzy hip hop was EVERYTHING. I blame the lack of music education in public schools in part for why hip hop today is so minimalist and repetitive.

[@KtotheG]

@@norekfamily Check out Marcus D. He's bringing the jazz back to hip hop.

[@norekfamily]

Brand Nubian moves as one unit there are no weak links! Peace to those brothers. Dead that comment about Jamar.

[@mrsanders805th]

Jamar is garbage. He's not on the same level of X & Puba. I'm an 80s baby. I know what I'm talking about. Hes the weak link in this chain

Sadat X Has his own flow. He ends his bars whenever tf he feels. He'll let a full 1 to 2 bars pass by before the hook comes in. In other words,,,, He'll end his flow on an ODD bar count. Lol

If the world was fair and just and artistic talent fairly evaluated than brand nubian and poor righteous teachers are superstars. When you are unwilling to bend over for the industry and your label, unwilling.to dumb down your lyrics and water down beats, unwilling to pander to MTV, i guess you can only achieve so much recognition and fame but at least you keep your soul
