One of the greatest hooks OF ALL TIME.. "New York, New York...." And the ENTIRE album is a classic.. "Music for Life" is one of the best hip hop tracks ever, RIP Dilla.

[@solemonkamali8921]

Kills all of today's trash we need this Jada bacc

[@whoknows4379]

Nas' verse on music for life is his single greatest piece of writing. Top 3 at least along with his triple beam dreams verse and his verbal intercourse verse... then there's his eye for an eye verse... his "hip hop" verse with Scarface from Khaleds album... maybe he needs more than a top 3 best verses. The GOAT

[@yummydres456]

That's what I'm saying

[@AlmaUndergroundHipHop]

2022 and this classic is keep playing! ✊🏽🔥

[@artaguilera6843]

This beat is sick and it sends respect to New York.. Hi tek being from Cincinnati... I myself am from Chicago and I've always repped NY and would be the first to tell u New York will always be the mecca

"Hood cats a part of where it started at"

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

That's true. Rap Hip Hop was invented in the hood in New York and the rest of the 23 u.s. major cities.21 gun salute.

[@Blessings22513]

This was my shit on MYSPACEEE! I finally found it almost 15 years later ❤

[@hotchocobx1468]

[@beedee8185]

[@thetraveler1182]

It’s so pure it burns your nose hair from the speakers

[@ToniOhNo]

Simple but catchy flow

[@Slamdog500]

New York is the greatest and most important city of the world in the history of mankind. No other city has such impact on the entire world, not London, not Paris, old Rome, Athens or the Persian, Egyptian, Chinese and Abyssinian Kingdoms. New York, USA, is the highest yet. New York, New York. New York, New York. (I am no USA fanboy I'm an african-european but I can regardless say how powerful New York is withouth necisarially liking it. I'm just observing.) R.I.P. Sean Price (for me the GOAT)

[@Gemini_szn]

[@toneystarcc]

this song, video, beat everything has vintage NY written all over it. too bad NY music doesn't stand like this anymore in the industry. but the good thing we still have artist and produces that can still do shit like this. love this video!!!!!!

[@glaaniiTonio]

Going through my iTunes and found this gem that I bought back in '06. I was a cool-ass kid, man! RIP Sean P aka The Brokest Rapper you ever knew.

[@0111DTheProphet]

The title is "Where it Started at". The rappers in this video are all from New York(i don't know about Dion though), This song is about where hip hop started(or at least took off to popularity and fame). Hi-tek is a producer and probably wanted to send respect to the state that influenced his music the most. His next album was all Ohio and he has always rep'ed it. This is just a symbol of respect to the state that helped him kick off his career(blackstar, hi-tek 1, reflection eternal, etc)

[@alexzpl]

[@lza3094]

Why'd you cut out Rae's verse?

[@eldinpitiano]

what s the song from the begining of the video? inbox

[@whoknows4379]

Where do I begin is the name of the song that this track sampled. Old love song from the 60s. Hi-Tek always kills it. Had to dig in the crates for this shit.

[@danielrico268]

So which one was dion????

[@paulpop4543]

ombladon

[@dangerouspsyco]

[@Timetraveler99]

Sample name please ???

[@cruzbwoi1989]

Ago

[@beatspieces6213]

I miss this style of rap. I know there's some people still doing it, but this type of hip hop is dying. It makes no sense to me, to lose something so different. Rap today sounds generic AF, compared to this type of music.

[@lwandisovelem682]

Raekwon's Verse

[@cruzbwoi1989]

Ayo pose played out with Gino green global. Kweli rippe

[@theyoozernaim]

They cut Raekwon off for the video version? WHY????????????????????

[@UNSCR1PTED]

I remember Raekwon being on the video when I first came across this track in 2006.

[@brain2a968]

ursus

[@meyou5789]

Isn't Raekwon supposed to be in this?

[@MajinMoe]

@al70sam i believe talib and raekwan are muslim so maybe that's why

[@cruzbwoi1989]

Ago p

[@KhemyDioxin]

and i thought jay-z-state of mind was cool psht me

[@whoknows4379]

I could post links to 20 hip hop tracks about New York that are 1000x better than Empire State of Mind. Ny state of mind by Nas is one. Part 2 is even better.

[@ftwdamfseyg]
