[@deviage]

This is probably the least known and underrated Hip Hop album EVER!! Filled with bangers, tight production and good flows and lyrics..

[@thatundergroundflavorrareo3194]

Oh there’s a whole lot more that slipped through the cracks, but this is definitely a dope album.

[@edeck889]

+Deviage Entertainment This Gem of an album with unnoticed by many, but because my best friend was, is a total hiphop head, he hipped me to this group.The song dedicated to Donald Goines and his prolific writings and book titles is my favorite track on this album #Cru #Dirty30

[@amxum]

Yes and Yes🎯

[@tileon3502]

@@edeck889this ain’t underrated. Everyone was listening to this back in the day. Cmon.

96 you had Tribe De LA soul Busta Rhymes Biggie Camp lo The fugees Snoop

[@matthewrobinson8214]

1996-97 was literally the end of the Golden Era of Hip Hop (1984-1997). 1998 still had a few bangers like "Moment of Truth" from Gang Starr, "Foundation" from Brand Nubian, "3rd Eye Vision" from Hieroglyphics, "Hello Nasty" from Beastie Boys, "Love Movement" from Tribe, and maybe a few more. By 1999 rap was going downhill fast, and it never really recovered.

[@trrch5149]

This jawn still a go in 2024! A classic banger. Takes me back to 1997 golden era of pure hip hop music

[@superunknown2812]

Its so good the whole album was tight as hell

[@SOTBTampa]

CRU and Camp Lo were the dopest in '97

[@tjcaulcutt5094]

Had both their albums on high rotation back then. 2 underated groups everyone sleeps on and forgets about.

CRU is one of the groups that should have made a second album very underrated. Their basic emcee flow complimented each other.I could hear it all the way through perfectly as it's exactly what 'art' should be:

[@turbofoot30]

[@d.michael372]

2024 and this song is still as good as it was in 97. The delivery, the back & forth and storytelling in this song is top tier. This song should have the appreciation and recognition electric relaxation gets till this day.

[@pwest1101]

Facts. This shit so fiyah still

[@Ljordan093]

Ain’t nothing refreshing today than listening to classic hip hop for real!

[@585BO]

I miss these days. When rap was about lyrics and dope beats.

[@JTZFX]

Am I the only one who gets depressed when he hears this? Just thinking of how rap is today... T'is Sad

[@hamzas4868]

Agreed but not long after this joint came out that jiggy sh*t popped off. No Limit blew around the same time this joint was out. While I liked some of No Limit's releases them blowing ushered in alot of wack Southern rappers.

[@rafflebimstrudardi6578]

I would actually love a few artist names who still sound like this today, I keep hearing you've just gotta look for it, but I've only managed to come up with a handful in my searches.

[@RawRapz]

the new school is 98% trash

[@Junior21485]

Liam Orchard I miss this as well. However I think we can all appreciate this time period. If we heard the same shit for 20 years do you know how garbage it would’ve been. We needed to get away from this. I wish I could relive 1996 all over again I miss that year and that summer was so poppin. I’m from nyc so I really remember all that going on during that year

[@YouMineNL]

yeah back in the day people had hard hood lives and they wanted something better, nowadays the new school kids have good lives and want to act like they had hard hood lives so it aint real no more

[@khemneteru814]

2023, and this underground classic still banging like it just came out!

[@elceezDoscinco]

This was not underground it came out on def jam they was never underground it was on BET all day!

[@terrelljackson1995]

I always wanted to know what was this video about forreal

[@matthewrobinson8214]

Solid album from 1997. The last year of the Golden Age of Hip Hop (1984-1997).

I was just smoked and I just thought about this song I use to play the hell outta the in Parker high school back in 04 then I had my first car😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

First time I heard this I thought it was Tribe Called Quest. Homeboys sound and flow sounds exactly like Q-Tip

[@nibbles187]

Yep me too.

[@mickey7528]

I was looking through a Tribe Called Quest to find it cause I couldn’t remember who this was by or it’s name

[@thatsamshow]

Yeah, definitely. Yogi was definitely inspired by Q-Tip. His flow and laid back rhyme schemes sound incredibly similar. I love Tribe Called Quest, which is why I have fond memories of this song too.

[@gabrielgiovanni69]

this album was the first with 30 tracks. took like two days to listen to it lol

[@davjaffe]

Man, this is a dope O.G. track. I'm almost embarrassed to say I hadn't heard of these guys until now. I've gotta give thanks to Grandmaster Flash for playing this on his Saturday night show on Sirius/XM. It's depressing to think of the garbage that gets passed off as "hip-hop" these days and somehow finds success. With the exception of a few old heads still in the game, and even fewer newcomers out there, nobody's making music anymore for the fans of true school hip-hop.

[@POWERMINDS747]

Dude sound like Q-Tip!

wow this my first time seeing this video after hearing the song billions of time and it was how i imagine it to be in a beautiful neighborhood with beautiful people enjoying life not worried about their troubles... great video and true hip hop... it made my day seeing this.

This is like an early birthday present since my birthday is tomorrow.
