[@Bboydrako66]

Some one in 2024?

[@forgottenlunchbox]

Aye

[@rimasingleinny1871]

12/21/2024 cleaning up and this came on.This is why shit not getting do w, I keep stopping thinking I can still dance 😂😂

[@floridaloveclifton5175]

How this song gets passed on when coming up with an NBA 2K Soundtrack?! It’s got 2K vibes all over it!! 🔥🔥

[@aboubacar3843]

This is 2024 still flowing hip-hop ❤ i love it

[@georgethompson8196]

You can literally HEAR PUBA

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

What do you mean do He right this?

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

He's an underrated Goat I bumped that all for one tape so hard in the 9th or 10th grade im 47 now Jamaica Queens

[@joojoobaw]

@@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551 yeah Puba wrote Pete Rock’s lyrics for this, no shame in it considering he a GOAT and Pete not a rapper first

[@zanzibarlegend]

Def hear Chubb Rock influence too to be honest. He was a master of this cadence

[@N.a.j.i.]

Lokey, PR is a producer, like Dr Dre. I'm sure CL or somebody wrote most his verses. Top5 producer tho(and I do "hear" Puba!! Hate how underrated Puba is🎤)

[@GleckODunn]

I don't know how to explain it. But this track sounds like Hip-Hop.

[@juniorjames7076]

In all the house parties I attended in the '90s, no DJ ever dared to play this only once- three encores were required or the crowd would RIOT!!!!

[@CrazyDiamond75]

“Pete Rock and CL Smooth all the honey dips admire.” 90’s hip hop slang was the best, this song bumps and gets your head nodding along instantly.

[@three23c]

INSTANTLY & consistently

[@briansutton4301]

For Real ‼️💯

[@MisterBings]

Man I was wearing Polo,Nautica,and Hilfiger when this was out.

[@obi387]

Wow, it's like Pete Rock and CL Smooth switched roles. The main Ingredient is one of my all time favourite albums.

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

Yep dope!

[@neoknight14215]

Yup this was my introduction to them i enjoyed trying to figure out who was the main rapper both versions of this song was fire.

[@gunique9700]

Whos here for the simple love of hip hop ?

[@briansutton4301]

[@RyeTruth]

Grand Puba wrote this song, just found that out and now I like the song even more because of it

[@des8893]

Never knew that. I can totally hear Puba's flow now.

[@1995RangeRover]

I'm a child of The Boom Bap 4 life!!!

[@gworrall1]

29 years later and this is as fresh as when it came out. Incredible. If that's really CL Smooth doing the scratching he should have made a career out of it.

[@JAZZYCELEST]

This was the yr I fell in Love with Rap Music and Hip Hop Culture. I was 11 yrs. old. Hip Hop is life, Hip Hop is my religion it is true Love in its purest form. All 4 elements (RAP, DANCING, DJ, GRAFF ARTIST), since the dawn of time, since the first noise, since the first drum, since the first word, IT IS ALL HIP HOP. ONE LOVE🙏🏽

[@susanfit47]

The Fly Girls of In Living Color season 3 did a routine to this.

My fav Pete Rock/ CL Smooth song after T.R.O.Y. Just gives me chills... what more can i say

[@bagley232]

pete's flow goes on and on and on, damn. never knew he could rap that good 2

[@macadon16]

I didn’t know either 😂

[@malika3193]

Grand Puba Maxwell from Brand Nubian wrote it. In a tweet, Pete Rock said, “GRAND PUBA WROTE MY 1st rhymes. That’s ok lol. My 1st ghost writer.”

[@littledoodle5689]

@@malika3193 knowledge!

[@georgethompson8196]

Pete wasn't an emcee.....nor was he pretending to be 1!! He was/is An Outstanding Producer and DJ. His voice sounds DOPE on tecords and Puba wrote his Rhyme(S)! It was NEVER A secret or "issue"

[@mauritsvanaalst800]

You can hear the Grand Puba flow...

[@dashanmanners8509]

This duo is so dope because I don't remember another duo or group who can take turns rapping and DJing

[@MariaD.L.]

LYRICS: It`s time to dip dive dip You might break a hip To the sound that`s legit I`ve come to make a hit I usually bust scratches with my man, C.L. Smooth But, I decided to get wreck on this groove As I provide the slide You`re going on a ride I know the weather`s nice There`s no need to play the outside Guess who`s on the flyer The man of your desire Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth all the honey-dips admire Beats are rough and rugged Pete Rock is the creator Now I`m busting raps while switching cross-faders Making sure my sound hits from here to Grenada Honey gave me skins, man, I told her friends I ate her But, wait up I save this subject for later But, it`s time to catch wreck with the creator I`m addicted like a stoag Not into vogue (Yo, Pete, there`s a girl on the phone) Tell her to hold `cause I`m busy kickin` rhymes to the rhythm Fortified with soul `cause that`s what I give `em Honeys form a line form a line `cause I always seem to capure Beats made of rupture Rhymes made of rapture Far from illiterate Always seem to get a hit If you try to step to this Don`t even consider it Skins when I want `em But, only when I eat `em To set the record straight, I`ll be damned if eat `em Call me Pete Rock I make the girls flock And if you want a beat like this, I got them in stock So, flow with the flow Because you know I`m good to go As I proceed to get wreck on your stereo Not an imitator Just a crowd motivator But, it`s time to get wreck with the creator Now, C.L. Smooth, cut it up like this Now, I`m`a take a try And get a piece of the pie If they give me one sec To get some wreck Never filled with anger A good body banger If you try to step to this you`ll get hung on my hanger Before I say good-bye Suckers gave a good try But, point blank you just can`t see this My word is beneficial Pete Rock is the issue And I know you know my style is official I might give a scratch (Yes, cousin) Or I might kick a verse Either one, I can`t be seen Honeys call me tall and lean And if you want to stick around I`ll show you what I mean Not an imitator Just a crowd motivator But, it`s time to get wreck with the creator It`s time to get wreck with the creator Get wreck with the creator The creator C.L. Smooth, get busy

[@chotaguy]

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth= greatest hip-hop duo of all time.

[@salayobrown8942]

I would have 2 say that PETE & CL are the greatest duo because they were ambidextrous (they both could flow and cut). I know ambidextrous means to be able to use both hands equally well. PETE & CL could both flow and cut equally well. That's why I used that word.

[@shanesmythe9101]

Son! Beats, Rhymes, and culture. The young corn balls, to worried about talking about shit they never been through. The last drug kingpen era was in like 91,92 around that time. Come on man! I miss the real hip hop

[@akbar8477]

Before they invaded it with violence it was fun to listen to Hip Hop.

[@altaariq]

Watching that Anthony Anderson commercial with his mother brought back to this jam I remember they performed this live on Teen Summit in 1991. I actually still have the EP, ALL SOULED OUT 2

WOW! Normally Pete Rock is the DJ/Producer and CL Smooth is the Emcee. But in this jam Pete Rock is the Emcee and CL Smooth is the DJ/Producer.

[@beaniegee5129]

Back when MTV and BET played a lot of music videos!!

[@blackbolt3685]

I had the CD and cassette,and,the coolest beat for this song was only on cassette,it more of Kids Frost La Raza vibe to it,but this is slick too

[@beaniegee5129]

Such a classic cut!!!

That's right 👍🏾 early hip hop. I'm dead in the middle of America 🌎🇺🇸 and all these tracks hit in sequence with Brooklyn! If you could make it in Brooklyn you could make it anywhere!

This has got to be one of the funkiest beats around.

[@nicdgreek]

There good hip hop and then theres bad hip hop. Pete Rock & CL Smooth = Good Hip Hop. And I dont think Gangsta Rap didnt damage hip hop, the industry did. Hip Hop Still lives cause it never died for those who made the effort to keep it alive and still continue to till this day.

[@phillysheed01]

When I look back and think back about this musically being the introduction to the tandem of Pete & CL, I have to chuckle. I loved this record so much that when the next single Mecca & the Soul Brother (not to be confused with the album) dropped, I wasn't ready to receive it because the dynamic just threw me off. I almost wasn't willing to give CL a chance just because he wasn't rapping on the first single. Glad I caught on because CL was an incredible rapper.
