Tha Beggas - On The Strength

After 26 Years and being featured on the WuTang Killa Beez "The Swarm" album, Tha Beggas come forth with some real Hip Hop, Beats & Rhymes in a Nostalgic way. Tha Beggas is a hidden jewel from the 1990s DC Hip Hop scene and the need for the story to be told is past overdue. My OohNeye approach to filming this video hit home a little different because I am also a member of the group. Ive shared all the history with this group before and after and had to make sure that this visual represented and I feel the goal has been accomplished.

There's something about them making this when they're all older and most of us remembering this tune are now older too that hits a certain way I can't quite explain...

How can we reach you?

[@dirtyrat229]

My favorite part of the video was the fact it was made. I'm stuck in this era. So many acts of this time didn't get the shine that they deserved, so it's good to see the Beggas getting theirs. Im dirtyrat229 on all platforms.

[@Srrp868]

'On the strength' was one of the bangers on the album fo sure!

[@BeatHuntaAl]

No way! This brought such a big smile to my face. This track has a very special place in my heart and did so for many, many years. When i got my first car i made a mixtape and i chose this track specifically to be nr. 1 because i wanted it to be the first thing you hear when you put in the cd. And even after all these years it still sends shivers down my spine every time i hear these first few notes. Thank you so much for this! It really means a lot to me. Much love from Germany

[@moeydontdw1735]

Years ago was zoning out to the swarm in my car, not really paying attention. Then I hear “keep the planets in line with one mind.. make the sun and the moon both shine at one time” and I had to rewind the song. Timeless classic.

[@johnodowd7512]

That brings back memories one of the best tracks on that album

[@eliezah76]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRACKS FROM THE ALBUM!!! R.I.P. FATHER LORD!!!!

[@mosesrocco6614]

Have to say that track by the Beggaz on the Swarm was an all-time track as far as I'm concerned. They all really stepped up because each verse was more banging than the last. All with that cosmic theme. They honoured their dead member with this banger. "Communicate like space probe..."

[@lanejohnson-smith1688]

Yup… and the song by Ruthless Bastards too

[@mosesrocco6614]

@@lanejohnson-smith1688 I'll have to go back and refresh my memory regarding that track.

Hello! Oh, nostalgia! As I remember now: 1999, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A friend brought a cassette of Wu-tang Killa Beez - The Swarm (a pirated one, of course, we had no other choice, you understand), which we had to immediately copy for ourselves, because there were still 30 people nearby waiting for it))). On The Strength is still with me in all playlists on various music services, I’m already 38 years old! Oh my God, this rap, the instrumental, the scratch at the end of the track... Thank you guys so much! Peace to your loved ones, families, friends!!!

Best track on that album and one of my fave Wu fam tracks, period. This was such a pleasant surprise. Salute from Bulgaria.

[@kakonis]

This and "Where Was Heaven" were the two certified timeless cuts on that album. They'll survive centuries while songs getting millions of views right now will fade away like a morning fog exposed to sunlight. Hip-hop you can play chess to, or play in a monastery.
