The Channel Live dudes were teachers in real life.

Big facts 💯 out of Richmond Virginia (804)

[@jfulton2852]

Once a teacher always a teacher. When you got THE teacher hanging wit you

[@jaesan5872]

DJ Premier did the scratches on the hook and KRS made the beat. Such a dope and classic joint.

[@noble78b]

Didn’t know KRS made this beat.. that’s dope. I used to bump this hella

[@KvngLxo]

Naa im pretty sure KRS did the scratches. it says on the vinyl he did the scratches

[@jamesrage1717]

@@KvngLxo it wasn't premier. You are correct. It was krs

[@dannytarver4533]

People sleep on KRIS beat making skills

[@VideoFiles99]

Dope reaction. "...rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby" Bill Bixby played the role of Dr Bruce Banner in the original 1970s TV show "The Incredible Hulk"

[@johns3040]

One of my all time fav songs 🔥

[@kawznfx]

I still rock this song on the regular. This and 93 till infinity are timeless hip hop perfection. The way you are moving your head was the norm for 90s hip hop...to the point where the dopest songs were called head bangers.... which is where bangers of today comes from.

[@Westside19th]

‘93 Til Infinity is a gr8 classic🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💿

[@mredwards3687]

I remember when I first heard this I was like DAMMN!

[@omararcher7105]

channel live was a group. Thanks for doing a reaction on them. They are some of the sickest MCs' and lyricists that are not recognized enough. Excellent reaction 👍🔥🔥🔥

[@nikeee]

"Wake up in the morning got the yearning for herb"... this track is still amazing

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

"Wake up in the morning got the yearning for herbs" #CLASSIC

[@verbone]

This track was a club banger. And yeah, Channel Live is a 2-man group from NJ.

[@djiqs]

OMG this joint just lives forever. It transcends changes in music...that sample, that beat...forever fire! From the moment I heard it in 94.

[@tallgodheru7397]

Classic, sign of the times song foREAL. I was in college.. '94, what a wonderful, marvelous time to be alive. All praise due to the Most High!

[@jonathantyler9502]

Hey so was I...graduated in 97 yo

[@natashajones8173]

I still bump this to this day love it

[@drumbum3535]

my fav hip hop song eva. The flow, and rhythm is goated

[@seanwright8786]

Mine too fam. The production is hypnotic.

[@FunkyJabroni]

I love this song. Been bumping it since it came out, but I still have a good laugh every time dude says "WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN, GOT THE YEARNIN FA HERB!"

[@TravelsChases]

The sample comes from a 70s song called "Strange Way" by a group called "Firefall" . The sample can be heard within the first 5 seconds of the song

[@TravelsChases]

Also the beat comes from a 70s funk group called "Lafayette Afro Rock Band" . A song called "Hihache" . That song is filled with hip-hop samples from start to finish

[@higherregion]

was in 8th grade when this came out...was big in NY..always got radio play on hot 97

[@joemarr5383]

Was a senior in high school when it dropped good times bruh

[@kelcey7579]

Me to down in va, remember this joint tho, when NY city had it on lock

[@adnanojd]

1995 classic also produced by KRS-one Check out Mad lion - shoot to kill, take it easy Double trouble ft krs one

[@mysterblue313setstfin9]

This my era right here I gotta send you a list that'll blow ya mind

[@p-double7427]

Yeah, Channel Live is a duo. Their debut LP Station Identification is pretty slept-on. Please can you do an album reaction to BDP's Sex & Violence album? KRS One is in full god-mode on that record!

[@clarktownsend8991]

That album did reasonably well. The problem was 94 was the single driven Era. The single sold a ton that people didn't want to buy the album.

[@p-double7427]

@@clarktownsend8991 It did OK, but it isn't really mentioned or talked about much anymore, and wasn't really at the time. The LP came out around March 1995, a little while after the Mad Izm 12 dropped in late 1994. '95 was stacked with stellar LPs, so Station Identification kinda got lost in the mix.

[@TheGhostofgatsby]

Station Identification is such a dope album, deserves way more love.

[@otisyoungblood]

Had it I think I brought every album back then I was a hip hop junkie

[@p-double7427]

​@otisyoungblood Yeah same here, and still have it, along with so many other LPs from that era. Also got the recent 2LP reissue and the 12s of Reprogram and Mad Izm, including the ill Buckwild remixes!

[@chazbrown5800]

This beat is a classic

[@BabyGeneral96]

This is that Jam "Spark Mad Izm" 💨 in the 90's everybody had their own flow,they literally sound the same today "money,women & cars" same flow just a different voice nothing like my era papi

[@mysterblue313setstfin9]

And yea KRS is the archivist of the culture from day one til now full representation

[@RAA10382]

Cannel Live is a duo. The two dudes (besides KRS One) that were rapping on this joint.

[@Cappadonna72]

Channel Live - East Orange, NJ icons!!

[@coudgeb]

This is on my top ten playlist for decades, came out my senior year of HS Dang I just made myself feel really old 😂 KRS 1 is def one of the greatest to touch the mic ❤

[@Philly2Corpus]

damnnn..this takes me back to when hip hop was hip hop...wake up in the morning got the yearning for herbbb in 1994 is was 23...word yo yes Channel Live was a group

[@mysterblue313setstfin9]

Channel live is the two brothas

[@Duves]

Arguably the greatest DJ Premiere beat ever!!! I rock this song regularly!!!

[@40EastTrill]

KRS ONE made this beat

[@Duves]

@@40EastTrill interesting because some sites report Buckwild, while others sites say KRS and additional producers

[@ricanhavoc215]

Damn I forgot about this track “wake up in the morning got the yearning for herb”

[@andy49404]

"Station Identification" is a banger by Channel Live

[@NJbakintheday]

Damn... I used to bump this non stop! Still dope after all these years! Yo, you gotta react to "Free Mumia" by them. 👊🏾 actually, by KRS One featuring Channel Live

[@qna95B]

'counter clock wise i rise like the sun' -- he means the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it would rise from the right (if you are looking north) hence counter clockwise.... a lot of emcees in the 90s drop jewels in the raps if you have the ears to listen..

[@malskyboss5197]

This is my era!! These new MC’s won’t do this! I know they can but they don’t. This is the essence of hip hop!
