pink cookies in a plastic bag

[@CulturedWhiteBoy]

The song most hip-hop heads never heard of.

[@talferio73]

My favorite version of this song, from a great album.

[@BankkeyAoshi]

Facts much love

[@bdscavenger]

this is probably the most mellow, laid back rap song ever

[@EmceeMahogany]

I remember my mom let me get her tapes and when this popped up holy shit it influenced me. He's too underrated hell hip hop is underrated itself

[@peregrineruncie]

The Album Version! thanks for uploading, Great Tune!

[@Sensaye25]

To me this was LL in his prime. He was underappreciated at the time 'cause everyone started listening to West Coast Hip-Hop at the time. LL is a living legend though and never played himself.

[@bobbebouche9121]

This song is so underrated

[@crazyleg2006]

It's one of the best...Evarz.

[@Jose-xm3tq]

It really is tho

[@w.a.mproductionsinc9340]

Emotions Blind Alley beat ...... awesome

[@rashb]

I love the video version of the song. But this is the musical version I was looking to hear today. Thank you for posting.

[@crystalbrame7886]

2022 Still Here Doing It !! 🔥🔥😘💃🏽

[@vankai06]

THIS the version!!

[@bradfordboucher1459]

+SoulscheMattik I like the remix better can't lie, this fire too tho

[@seniorblanco4126]

Vankai Hell yeah!!!

[@lantvant8230]

Thanks to The Emotions - Blind Alley ! - WRECKX-N-EFFECT - RUMPSHAKER - Big Daddy Kane - Aint No Half Steppin

[@mysharona6754]

This beat is way better than the other one

[@eyeamking4011]

the song is creative as hell that instrumental is beautiful.

[@CoadyShay]

Why would anyone ever want to switch this beat?

[@SONOFPEARL315]

Sample clearance LOL

[@dareal05]

Should have had this version be the video/single version. People may have looked at 14 Shots differently, because this BANGED.

[@seniorblanco4126]

I love the way he infused all of the dopest mc's at the time into this song!!!

[@DayDayWade]

Uncle L said he was high wen he mad this lol shit fiire !

[@koolpopjones6499]

Summer of 93. Good times...great memories

[@magicjackmaxwell]

This song totally brings me back. The better of the 2 versions. I remember having it on a 12 inch b-side. Super dope!

[@AH-hc5rm]

Big daddy Kane, brand Nubian, bdp, salt n peppa, q tip, nwa, grand master flash, nice m smooth, ice cube, heavy d, ice t, kid capri, naughty by nature, mc hammer.

[@kevinb1125]

roamer seed and das efx

[@AH-hc5rm]

Forgot public enemy too

[@kevinb1125]

was just saying das used that beat too, spell check did me dirty

[@mar217rocks7]

Forgot Yo Yo Chubb Rock and Monie Love too..

[@AH-hc5rm]

Mar 21 7? Rocks yeah man, you're right.

[@jkjououogg]

Real Hip Ho!!! LL is classic old school.

[@crazyleg2006]

This mix is much better than the original cut of this song.

[@txredeveloper]

man i used to jam this never knowing the meaning... this was hip hop at its finest... you had to think about the music...

[@Corazon806]

cant believe LL cool J's flow back in the days!

[@designatedpiledriver8216]

This is a seriously underrated version

[@TheMckudo]

lol, Sometime in the 1990s somebody had the good sense to put out the remix instead of the original version. I love this beat but the remix just gives it a popular feel. This beat makes it a classic to a true hip hop head, but the remix just crossed it over more.

[@brandoncody85]

I like this one WAY BETTER. The other one should not have been more popular imho.

[@csallen]

Marley Marl produced this remix beat.....classic.....this era of hip-hop cannot be matched. NYC will forever me the root of Hip-Hop! LL Should have put this version on All World 2.

[@TheReason77]

Man this is L and Marley at the apex...

[@TheALyon8]

Such a GREAT song!!! I love it!!! :)

[@mastamove]

Great track. Love the loop!

[@randycook2364]

Love this version than the remix

[@k.sgotti3671]

Even this song..La bipo,like what u expect 🤯

[@jon79jw61]

Had to come listen to some real rap today

[@az718843illa]

as far as real hip-hop being heard like it should be....i totally agree with rb0880!! Not unless you are a young'n yourself, you gotta admit that. Real hip-hop don't do any good for the masses if its put in a category where it can't be heard. The masses don't know what underground hip-hop means so they won't pay attention to it!! but we do, so i think that's all that matters if you ask me!!

[@samrothstein6278]

This version is better but other version is great too mobb deep sampled it and I never knew that after all these years. LL said he was high as a kite when he wrote this song.

[@honchoo732]

What is the name of the mobb deep version

[@Ijustinsultedyou]

Actually it's Blind Alley by the Emotions. Everybody has jacked their beat including Big Daddy Kane for Ain't no half steppin

[@chachiversace4601]

Ronnie B don't forget Biggies first demo with 50 grand

[@Ijustinsultedyou]

@@chachiversace4601 He falls under the category of everybody

[@newera5238]

Someone had the nerve to ask who could pull more women LL or Drake? I told them it's like comparing Tyronn Lou too Allen Iverson, they might kind of look alike but that's A.I.

[@karlojimjantolek4211]

Great rap song 90'

[@WilliamBrandonLeopardhtliven]

man this the 1st rap song I heard bumping on my man down the streets 12's in his car at the store when I was a kid I was HOOKED on rap like a dope fiend

[@lyspnlyssa88]

golly gum drops... that was raw mr.

[@lyspnlyssa88]

yeah 14 shots to the dome its a tight album, also the one from 99, cant remember what the hell its called though....

[@anthonyoni5086]

uncle L always on point

[@pedrofaba]

my fav song of ll

[@DJ.JFuzzi]

why are there 3 versions which one is the original

[@alejandrojones9521]

TRUE "DEF JAM"!!!

[@Deep4kinThoughts]

Yes !! Memories

[@jinecarter1589]

Definitely a classic

[@Barber747]

I love how this sounds very similar to Ain't No 1/2 Steppin' by Big Daddy Kane

[@djmane1]

It's the loop right after the Ain't no 1/2 stepping loop. Look up "Blind Alley" by The Emotions. :)

[@Getmoneygetmoney09]

+djmaneone plus both loops were used by DJ 50 Grand when he made Biggie's demo tape

[@az718843illa]

And please name some of these artists you think got so much lyrical skill.....

[@SupremeSupervillain_]

Big Daddy Kane should be proud of this beat.. it's sooooo smooothh

[@Ijustinsultedyou]

Supervillain_ Why ? He jacked the beat too. You didn’t think it was his did you ? Awww you did....

[@jasperhaggins2390]

@@Ijustinsultedyou it's not jacking it's sampling that's what hip hop is hip hop recreates stuff

[@Ijustinsultedyou]

@@jasperhaggins2390 Sampling, Jacking, whatever word you wanna choose to use to describe it, it’s all the same thing. It still makes the same point. Just like your favorite team the commanders will always be the Redskins.

[@jasperhaggins2390]

@@Ijustinsultedyou it's not sampling is taking a sound out of a song and making your own version jacking is taking the sound and not doing nothing to it it's that simple

[@Ijustinsultedyou]

@@jasperhaggins2390 lol so you think it’s a completely different version huh. Really doesn’t take much creativity to sample then. People hear what they want to hear, and I hear the same beat.

[@jermaleprice7777]

L what about the plastic bag?

[@lorenzoperry7529]

That my favorite rapper Mr ll cool j in the house for real

[@albanianstallion7401]

Is this the original version??

[@kansascitychief4965]

This sounds like it contains elements from Tramp by Lowell Fulson

[@CondomsRoseCondoms]

+Corn Bread Jones it sounds like "Blind Alley" by the emotions... because it is

[@slikdarelic]

+IhateStupidPeople yep.. the 2nd set of notes sampled from wat Big Daddy Kane used for "Aint No Half Steppin"..

[@krlm2280]

+slikdarelic or jiggable pie by amg

[@fosterchild1793]

The sample is from The Emotions-"blind alley"

[@Dcyde86]

watch also ,one of the greatest and smartest disses of old school hiphop.. Kool Moe dee vs LL cool J.. watch the cover of the how "ya like me now" album of Kool Moe.. his Jeep is steppin on a hat ,like the standard one of LL Cool J ;) brilliant!!!!!!!

[@FreekyDeeky21]

If anyone doesn't know it yet, he's talking about sex. LOL!!!

[@ARP1500]

this is when ll was bad ass

[@JordanAthemusiclover]

When I was younger, I swore the lyrics were instead "pink cookies in a plastic bag, getting crushed by Bill Gates." It was very weird for me to picture that Xb

You the dumb nigga type

+Rick Harding Lol for real

[@Temujinhan]

like "crossroads" from same lp GREAT!!! thx ll

[@krspx1]

The video originally had this beat.

[@jayraymondmgtow4200]

When I was young me and my friend used to listen to this in the early 90’s and laughed all the time because it sounded so stupid lmao. We was like wtf is he talking about? To this day I still don’t know what the hell pink cookies in a plastic bag getting crushed by buildings means 😂😂😂🤣

[@ism519]

besides, i didn't disagree that lyrical skill should be the foundation of hip hop, i just explained that there are "WAY MORE THAN JUST A HANDFUL OF ARTISTS WITH LYRICAL SKILL" .... look at underground hip hop and you'll find more lyricists than there are mainstream rappers LOL

[@nadeemathar4226]

Heard this song before but what's it about?

[@AllPro777]

I think that's insane. Not even LL would agree. He was completely unhappy with this album and this was his least favorite song. He was having a lot of beef with Def Jam at the time.

[@tratikowimbush745]

90s son

[@ism519]

hate to break it to you az but the masses didn't get it back either. hip hop popularity has expanded thanks to these new mainstream crossover artists more so than it ever would have back then (aside from a handful of tracks). the difference is, back then, hip hop WAS underground and now REAL hip hop resides on the underground.

[@Gunshow0]

hmmm nahh i like the remix more. its more relaxing still good song tho.

[@joshuakeddy1682]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@D3ADCHANNEL1116]

classic.

[@rb0880]

No comparison. "Pink Cookies..." is lyrically superior to "A Bay Bay". Lyrical skill was the foundation of Old Skool Hip-Hop. Except for a handful of artists, you can't say that about today's "Hip Hop".

[@MrJames07111]

@Sensaye25 I agree with you 100%, but west coast lyrics was a lot of profanity, labeled hardcore, but not nessarily creative......A lot of your eastcoast MC's could be creative without overdoing it with the profanity.

[@SatlaNivai]

still awsome

[@az718843illa]

You can say what you want....if this so called crossover artists are supposed to be so good for hip-hop then i don't see it. I don't see what artists like Lil wayne or drake or nikki or j-cole or any of these youngsters are doing good for hip-hop!! I think hip-hop should go back to what it used to be because if a non-rapping fucker who was only known for being on tv shows can all of a sudden get a million dollar deal from someone and then be considered a good artist then the genre is bullshit!!

[@ism519]

@rb0880 not true at all.. there are way more than just a handful or artists with lyrical skill... expand your knowledge - real hip hop isn't dead it just lives underground

ok you're completely missing my point. but anyways educate yourself, there are plenty of youngins making big moves and keeping it real. hip hop has always had variety so I don't get what you mean by go back to what it used to be. you don't believe it should evolve? its all subjective anyway but anyways man go find some new artists I bet you'll surprise yourself. for example, check the Black Hippy group (full of youngins) that are killing it right now

[@KatrinaChildrey]

LL cool j is bad

[@eyeamking4011]

the song is creative as hell that instrumental is beautiful.

[@marcusbeatwise2859]

Somehow has a much more evening time feel to it than Ain't no Half-steppin', even with the same sample
