FIRST TIME HEARING- Juice Crew - The Symphony REACTION

[@pfeiffdog0811]

Kool G Rap said BDK line of “put a quarter in your ass cause you played yourself” is the greatest bar all time.

[@michaelprice3992]

That’s the version for the video….go and listen to the original cut from the album….WAAAAYYYY better!

[@manatarmsslaps]

#facts I remember hearing the video first then my friend got the tape and I'm like hey wait a freaking minute man!!!!

[@andrzejsokola]

Definately. Sound is better but foremost Kool G Rap extended verse was insane... I would say that even better than Kane ;p

[@Risse227]

I was about to say the same thing!

[@each1teach1academy43]

Kool G and Kane should have been detained for verses on original

[@KD-mz5xv]

Dam i only learning about this now... thanks fam

[@olschoolTonyCarter]

"Marley gives a slice" I always love how G Rap starts his verse.

[@Seldomtraveler]

I get nice and my voice is twice as horrifying as this implies!

[@karimglasgow5518]

​@@Seldomtravelertwice as horrifying as Vincent Price

[@nofacade100]

This is one of my favorite tracks in the history of hip hop

[@marliglen]

Kool G Rap actually killed this track on the original full version. He spits for a lot longer. They cut this short for the video. Please do the full version with the lyrics if you get a chance.

[@russelldance2699]

everybody's verse got cut short EXCEPT for Craig G

[@VincentDeCowans]

Masta Ace caught up crazy though.. if you haven't done Masta Ace... check his "Disposable Arts" album. Anything on it.

[@ednorton5515]

Ace was fire tho he got more than that. Bro was different.

[@anonymousapocalypse247]

This song was a game changer and its still a life changer til this day! Official hip-hop classic! Still holds weight like when it first dropped! Big Daddy Kane- Raw Kool G Rap- Men At Work

[@ralphkiner5389]

Yes indeed, Young Homes! Check out, K-Solo's, "Spellbound", "Fugitive" and "Mom's In My Business". Special Ed's, "I Got It Made" The intro of this song was made into a song by the, Alkaholiks, "Hip Hop Drunkies" featuring ODB Listen to, FULL version of "The Symphony" each member has extended lyrics.

[@damonsims4776]

Wiooooo! You took it way back 👍👍👍 nice!

[@verbone]

True story: When I was a kid, my homey's big sister dated Kane. (Sure she wasn't the only one.) I answered the phone when he called once, like yoooo, it's Big Daddy Kane! My first 15 seconds of "fame."

[@Suave_TheArtKartel]

Ya''ll lived in Brooklyn? I engineered music for his brother Shane and Omar Epps they were in a group together G-Sharp .. Master Ace also lived on da block .. #Brooklyn #Hip-Hop

[@verbone]

@@Suave_TheArtKartel Naw, Kane was established then, touring, etc. She's in at least one of his videos as well. Maybe two. But one that I know for sure.

[@Suave_TheArtKartel]

@@verbone Dope to have them stories .. No matter how small or large (pause) I smile when i think of all the situations Hip-Hop put me in man

[@verbone]

@@Suave_TheArtKartel I also answered once when Jam Master Jay called. That was even crazier lol. Later, I got into college radio and working for magazines, so met a lot of rappers, but those early memories are still dope for me!

[@Knick_Fury]

All time classic collab…legend has it that Masta Ace’s appearance on this track came because MC Shan didn’t want to get on the track. Kool G. Rap - ON THE RUN, RIKERS ISLAND, POISON, FAST LIFE (feat NAS), ROAD TO THE RICHES, STREETS OF NY…Big Daddy Kane - SET IT OFF, RAW, WARM IT UP KANE, JUST RHYMIN’ WITH BIZ (feat BIZ MARKIE), NUFF’ RESPECT….Master Ace - ME AND THE BIZ, JEEP A** N***@, LATE MODEL SEDAN, WHO U JACKIN’?, SODA & SOAP, ACKNOWLEDGE….CRAIG G. - DROPPIN’ SCIENCE (Remix)

G Rap, Grand Puba and Cappadonna are 3 of the most underrated rappers back in the day to me. Puba was who I was trying to dress and be like when I was young first finding myself. Then Ghost and Rea came out and Nas and JayZ was big when I got older. So when I see my son dressing like Lil Baby and NBA young boy I understand because we are finding ourself through the music and style

[@chillyice3573]

Kool G Rap “ Men At Work “ might his best lyrically!! Have you heard the original Raw with Kane & G Rap?? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@damisterchulo]

I love the video but the studio version is the one! The verses are complete!

[@idrispalmer5049]

You gotta do the South's version of the symphony, "Watch for the hook", by Cool breeze and the Dungeon Family after this.

[@bigdaddypiggy]

I was teenager when this came out & this song stayed playing on my boom box for about month straight …..it’s still one of my favorite songs of all time even to this day some 30+ years later 🖤🥶

[@CoHeirMultimedia]

The DOPEST Crew record of all time!!!!……imagine if MC Shante was actually on there!!!

[@Israel-nb7ip]

Nah, in order for it to be the DOPEST Crew record of all time, the full Crew needed to be on it. MC Shan, Roxanne Shanté, and Biz Markie would need to be on ala Wu-Tang "Protect Ya Neck."

[@msimola]

Check out The Symphony pt 2, one of my fave Cool G Rap verses ever. Love the reaction videos man keep em coming!

[@CHAMPDOGZ]

Fun Fact: Craig G actually wrote a lot of the freestyles for the movie 8Mile with Eminem

[@tacappacinoable]

Yee this video was on The Box all day! This the posse cut that started it all

[@shakarussanders9911]

I listened this song so much back when I was in middle school! This whole album is a classic though!

[@effu2]

Yo, you gotta check Craig G " dropping science" a classic song from like 86. Craig was like 16 when he did it

[@brickspjs4l792]

Kane got a song called raw & the original version many ppl don't know about got Kool g rap on it,,,,they snapped on that joint,,,,

[@kennethlopez6527]

G rap has been my man since 1989. He's still one of my 3 favorite rappers. he and kane would literally dispatch every rapper in the game today. they were light years ahead of their time. that line he spit about con edison was absolutely terrific

Yooooo can't believe you did this.......... In the late 80's early 90's the juice crew is the mount Rushmore of Hip Hop🔥🔥🔥

[@ednorton5515]

Definitely a Golden Era young G, I see the force is strong within you. Way to pay attention and you called it right errrbody verse was fire. They lined them up on that track perfectly. Before then the word Symphony was only associated with classical music. They changed that, if that wasn't a Symphony, what is.

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

Kane was the "King" of Hip-Hop before "B.I.G." got crowned & later Jay-Z, who was PUT ON BY KANE #BrooklynsFinest #history #ClassicISH

One of greatest songs of all time

[@Hooderaw]

Out of all the Kool G Rap songs I've heard, my favorite song is men at work. yeah, it was on his first album but i heard that jawn about 2 years before the album came out. No cursing or gangsta stuff just str8 up bars on a dope break beat!!! many don't request it but I suggest you listen to that one even if it's not for a video. use the lyric video too.

[@Hooderaw]

Oh, Black thought did a remake to this with his song, Thought at Work! that was dope too. Black thought made it clear that Kool G Rap was the guy he looked up too. You should see thoughts interpolation review of Road to the Riches. he was cheesing like a kid in a candy store talking about that song.

[@jeffcivil9090]

My favorite joint of all time..... since I was a kid

[@heswift]

You gotta hear the original longer version bro! My cousin and I used to rock to this a lot before he passed away. We always loved Kool G’s verse even tho he was a Kane fan lol

[@ninoanthonysmith1786]

Kool G “take a deep breath cause you don’t have another left. Coming back like I’m avenging my brother’s death” that line is 🔥🔥🔥. Then BDK hits with “battling me is hazardous to health so put a quarter in ya a** cause you played yourself” They snapped on this song! 🤯
