[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

I have the same cd the day you cats released it. 90's classic. Big up to L.I. You cats had a dope album. Why no more music?

[@NineDeadlyVenoms]

1994 there was something in the air and even if we didn't realise it and took it for granted at the time looking back now the releases were amazing.

[@trumcradioshow2152]

One of the THE most slept on albums of all time. I was bumpin that shit out here on the west coast like crazy. Matter of fact, I’m playing this shit this weekend on our show. Real Hip-Hop needs to be in people’s ears.

[@MrBoombastic1904]

This group was slept on and it's a damn shame because every member is super talented. The entire Ism & Blues album is fire!

[@nycpolo5554]

I used to bump this every morning driving to high school...dope

[@L330ne]

This was one of the rare videos that would come on but when it did.. Bangin!

[@354allday]

Rap City played the rare stuff was far superior than Yo Mtv Raps

[@dennispounds605]

I grew up with these dudes...the the second mc, his moms was real tight with my moms..Our families was like cousins....

[@Drill-kn5nh]

Used to visit VA and NY all the time around the time this came out, maybe it's Long Island but the video always reminded me of going to VA. Maybe cuz in NY my cousins had me all over the place but in VA my cousins always had us playing ball. Anyways salute, memory lane right here no doubt

[@chrisbarber7193]

I have listened to this cd over and over again the beats and jazz horns are just crazy . One of the greatest jazz rap hip hop albums ever done . Bring back real hip hop music 💯

[@cmj5851]

I listen to this track constantly!! True hip hop! A lost art nowadays. Big ups to DJ Kev Calhoun!! FPC Ravens in tha HOUSE!!!!!

[@marvinsbprealty5760]

Vinyl copies of this magnificent album are mad expensive, first copies and reissue

[@kennardthedj6771]

This is hands down one of the most inspirational hip hop albums i ever heard!. I was sold on the "Wilford's Gone" break on the 2nd verse. At 12 years old , i never heard anything like that break. I copped the cassette and couldnt stop listening to it. 30 years later, this still stands to be one of the best albums i ever heard.

[@amitparikh8340]

Thank you Rap City. My childhood was blessed.

[@benbaby100]

This was officially our jam throughout the 90's. It just stuck.

[@SamGramSam1]

❤ massive Classic for me... Thx For for To MTV Raps 93 ❤ For all WHO remember that hip hop rap music Ohh bless❤❤❤

[@BeatFinderGee]

Love this LP big up from the UK 🔥🔥🔥

[@YouPeopleTech]

Love seeing my young dudes getting in. Lakeview Represent 💪

[@chuaal-dey2894]

I don't know how I missed this. Smh. Probably came on during my after school activities or when I started College. Definitely Rap City vibe stuff.

[@354allday]

Yup Rap City played most of the underground stuff

[@samaxamen]

This was my joint back in the day!

[@nycpolo5554]

This was the good times in Hip-Hop.

[@ingmarvanderhoek6314]

That album is so good. Played it again today after a long time and it is still dope. Too bad they never made another one.

[@brianjames723]

Way back, My Mans pop this “Tape” in. Our whole crew collectively said....Damn! 💪🏾

[@danitotdp]

[@MrBikboi]

One of the best albums ever, so slept on. Ten toes down fellas, trust.

[@Rahsaun77]

Word, Rap City played the sleepers. Yo mtv raps only played top 10 rap.

[@Mookaron]

I remember I recorded this video on VHS, this was around the time Jay-Z was trying to make a name for himself. Great memories. 💯

Classic hip hop: the cure from corporate rap!

[@terrysummers6382]

Ism and blues is a classic album...the beat and sample changes on all the songs was insane..

[@howtorap1239]

All of hip-hop's best MCs were interviewed for the books, *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP 2*. Everyone from Pharcyde to Big Daddy Kane, Wu, Brand Nubian, Masta Ace, Tribe, Cypress Hill, and Public Enemy were interviewed in those books.

[@andrewcurrier8705]

Just came across this song and group a few months back and man this is good stuff. Most of what the SD50s touched was gold back in the day. Didn't know these guys were actually on KMD's Black B---ards album too. Have had this album in heavy rotation for weeks now. Love it.

[@sketchbabu]

[@tronjames6341]

The Mistake HipHop made was not creating Sub-Genres Like Rock Music. Some Groups and Artists needed their own Lane with Seperate fans that admired their type of music.

[@randomquentin]

It’s kinda cool though how fast changing it is you can basically see a difference between every year in hip hop from the 70s to the 90s

[@pierrelouis-jean7653]
