K-Solo - Spellbound

[@getmoneynonstop2114]

His flow is immaculate I'm glad I came across this I'm 28 I love this song I'm glad I'm not naive when it comes to good music it might not be what Im use too but it's not like this man wasn't rappin his ass off in this video n Im upcoming artist n I can learn from solo it's not about how rich u get it's about the impact u have on hip hop if your style unique .... Hip hop is from the heart ❤️ ... N I truly appreciate it n the ppl who contributed... ❤❤❤❤❤❤ N laid the blueprint down for a youngin like me to learn from it ..I'll always will be a student even when I'm teaching somebody else the way ..

[@alkhemizt]

im 29 this year, and ive been raised on hip for nearly 3 decades. The stuff kids listen to today is just awful, mumble rappers, rainbow gangsters etc..and the rest with autotune...music lost the last of its integrity along time ago, thanking the hip hop overlords for golden tapes like these.

[@tonytaino7824]

Getting fresh for school,this video playing in the background. 90's hiphop the best.

[@yaoblack3579]

You might not believe it but this shit was hittin back in the day. We loved creativity and a style that was butter and K was the embodiment of both.

Maaan, I'm from the west coast and I remember Spell Bound. Hell of a track, intelligently put together with the spelling the words. K-Solo, I for sure will always remember your contributions to hip hop. Respect 🙏🏿

The creativity that went in this song. Nuff respect to K-Solo. The 80s and 90s were the best times in hip hop. I miss listening to this song on my cassette tape lol. The young cats don't know what it was like to hit the rewind button on a classic like this.

EPMD, K-Solo, The Hit Squad - they went hard in the paint with their bumrushing and bragging lyricism which was on point. Beastin shit. New York was really bustin moves in the day. So was the city of Brooklyn, although more gutter. And make that the New York/Brooklyn statistical area period, which meant Pike County, PA, Trenton, Patterson, Morris County, Greenwich, Yonkers, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Mount Vernon, Bridgeport.

[@SmartMoneyBro]

[@scinnyc]

This song almost had him and DMX about to kill each other. DMX claimed he wrote this song when him and K-Solo where in prison together and he stole it. You can watch their beef detailed on the "Beef" dvd. And if you got the time, check out my old school songs. I keep it late 80s to late 90s with my music...!!!

[@Al_Boogie-UptownChi]

I'm in this video. They filmed it in Chicago at Lincoln Park High School on the North Side in 1990. They let all the dance majors and drama majors be in it, and they paid us $5 each! lol. I'm the tall white kid in the back of the classroom with the black t-shirt on, and you can see they go past my "Game" tag on the chalkboard at 0:51 second in. You can also see clearly a Seiko CWT tag right after that, he was a pretty up writer in town at the time, plus you can see a clear P-Lee throwie in the chalkboard, he was an old school cat in the graf scene. I'm not positive, but I think one of the skaters is this guy Stevie Dread, a well known skater in Chi, who had two bands, Ungh! and Crunch-O-Matic (both here on YT).

I just heard a line in this song I also heard on a DMX track on one of his album in 99..0:34.."but i stayed amateur while others turned pro". that's cause X wrote this song. K-solo still one of the best that ever did it. And DMX was the best that ever did it. RIP DMX.
