This song is originally a song from The X-Ecutioners, not Linkin Park, but I'm glad to see it getting recognition again almost two decades later. Mike Shinoda as always going hard on those rap-rock verses!!!

This is one of the dopest rap tracks i've heard

[@MeNoSpeakJibberish]

I remember 1st hearing this on MTV2 LOVED IT. Back before youtube we had to wait to hear new songs we liked to come up on music channels. I eagerly waited for this to come up on Kerrang. On a sunday night new songs loaded including this one. Requested it straight away then as soon as it was played requests came in over and over. Days later its announced as number one on the Kerrang chart. I was so happy 😁😂

[@monibstar]

I saw it first on MTV after school rocks like u said we had to wait to see this song on TV 📺 🙏🤘

[@bruh-xp9se]

Same. Im from europe and the first time i heard this song was on mtv. It was a rap chart and it was number 2 or 3 at the time and ever since then its been one of my all time faves. I also had to wait all Day to hear my fave songs on tv and man the feeling you get when it finnaly comes... Pure Joy... I also remember since there was no youtube and i didnt even had a computer at the time the only way for me to hear New music was to buy albums. I had a lot of causetes at home and i would always play Them right after i get Them.

[@MeNoSpeakJibberish]

@@bruh-xp9se As much as I love youtube and being able to watch almost anything at any time the old days were a simplier time. And yes the feeling after waiting through music you had no interest in just to hear your fave song was good haha

I love youtube too. Its Just that back then we didnt had to luxury to listen to whatever we want whenever we want. But it was still exciting when your have track finaly played. It gave you butterflies in your stomach. You feel like a winner.

Like pretty much everyone here said this here track was by The X-Ecutioners from their second studio album Built from Scratch which was originally released on February 26, 2002. The song includes samples of the Xzibit song Year 2000 and Linkin Park’s demo tracks Step Up (originally from the original and reissue of the EP Hybrid Theory) and Dedicated (Demo 1999) (originally from the LP Underground 2.0 EP) the chorus and bridge of the song both refer to the group as X-Men an old name that they changed in order to avoid accusations of copyright infringement. So if you’re wondering why that dope ass track is on the 20th Anniversary reissue of Hybrid Theory there’s your answer :)
