[@rrhd0]

Jamal was so underrated wish we got more stuff from him.

[@spinmanfinn4129]

last I heard from him was a feature on a lil’ Wayne track about 5 yrs. according to his verse, too much money to be made dealing coke, go figure.

[@RaceClistonRacebizzy]

That's crazy would of loved to hear more from him.

[@chekONE_BSMcrew]

😂..."heee's soooo uuuunderaaated" Jamal is Redman...watch " how high" if "you want to hear more"🤣

[@SteveLegg-mg9so]

No question

[@Eighthunid]

I agree I remember when I first brought his album and it was dope

[@rcpcorp6432]

I wish this era put out volumes of music like todays era does.

Keith Murray is one of the most underrated Rappers ever

[@NevaSellmySoul]

Facts bro

[@rcpcorp6432]

Keith just went crazy. Messed up his career being so out of control.

[@stevens75035]

We need another Def Squad Project. True Live Hip Hop

20plus yrs later I still chuckle when Red said "Jump outta tree land on ya neck..." Like damn 😭😂

[@DCBOOBAS]

a real tight joint from that 90's era where niggas knew how to write rhymes and rap for real. Lil Jamal went last and he set this joint off. "The villain in black, black baseball bats and black gats Ima blackout on all you wack cats!!!!!" That was your Final "Countdown"

[@GP-ff8en]

If you're going to bump 90's Hip Hop you might as well turn this ish up. Go back and double check E Doubles first verse. Sermon laid down everything needed in a hip hop track. Reggie slayed, Keith murdered and there's not too many Jamal verses that don't rock a joint. Jamal is the dude!

I'm from Northern California but I miss this East Coast type of rap

[@deezy81]

AL MAIN Yee!!!!

[@al6859]

deezy81 who's this thoe?

[@deezy81]

I am David. I used to live in Petaluma and Alameda, so when I saw you said you were from Northern Califoolya, I could not pass up the opportunity to utilize that Yay Area slang. I moved back home to Bronx, New York, so I never get to speak like that anymore because people over here would look at me like a martian. You know how narrow minded East Coast hip hop heads can be. I was glad to be able to meet people over there who have an appreciation for other types of hip hop and not just the stereotypical New York "Imma bust you up son, word is bond, son" rap from over here. They hate hard on E 40 over here. I have tried to put people on to him over here, but they say he is a clown ass niggah. S.M.H.

[@al6859]

Yeah the bay for the best type of slang Cail in general.Stay up Thoe David

[@deezy81]

Most definitely. I miss it out there. Some of the best things I remember from out there, it always had the best comic book, video game and record stores. I used to spend hours in those massive stores.

[@nanothequex]

Finding the right track now, buying it, DLing it, slipping on my black adidas, and later going to bboy to this dope track. Best way to start my morning!!!!!

[@cesarpratt5550]

Def Squad!!! Real Hip-Hop

[@seanv567]

I love the way any Def Squad track is just filled with bars as if they really try to perfect their rhymes, their flow and their content. As if they are proper purists of hip hop and rap and anybody that has a track with them, have to really be on the same page, or they just sound ridiculous. Erick Sermon on a side note is one of the best MC'S of all time.

[@MichaelSeuss]

Jamal should just fucking release another album, dude hasn't laced not one verse on wax ever that was ill. Point Blank Period. Every song, every feature from him has been nasty yo.

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

One of my favorite videos. Keith Murray's verse speaks on how he snuffed(punched) Prodigy of Mobb deep in the face because of the skit in the" Infamous Mobb deep" in 95, for those that don't know. They squshed the beef years later. This song is the first time hearing Mally G...he went in especially when says "he'll black out with a baseball bat on all you whack 🐈's". I'd black out too if I had a bat to use if my final moment is at ✋! Like Chino XL would say"Life's a game that you never take part in". There's an actual board game called "Life". E dub, one of the 🐐's in the production game! A 🔥 song!! This was made in 98. Off the Def Squad "Ill Nino" album in 98.

[@EAGLES385]

Definitely need a another Def $quad project! To be honest, I think back to back albums or a double album 💿! That would be crazy!!!

[@JoaoVitor-pj3uk]

When the rap is good you know in less then 10 seconds. The beat, the lyrics, everything. Nowadays, just a small fraction of that trap thing i go away. This is what i really enjoy.
