The Flavor Unit MCs - Roll With That Flava

Music video by The Flavor Unit MCs performing Roll With That Flava. (C) 1992 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

[@xFoman123x]

This is what hip-hop is supposed to sound like. I miss the people who made music like this.

[@hamansutra]

“Self Destruction” “West Coast All Stars” and “Roll with Da Flava” was pure Cooperation and History.

[@plainsimple244]

Don't forget, 'H.E.A.L. Yourself' and 'Don't Curse' by Heavy D and nem!

[@Jason-lv4uu]

💯 Legendary. R. I.P Apache Heavy D and Trouble T Roy. 🙏🏽

Word up son

[@antoniosmith1814]

Yes it was most definitely!

[@stevecurrie6856]

Every MC drops it hard on this track. Treach, Chip, Freddie, Latifah then runs the show, Heavy D, D-Nice drops a dope verse and then Dres just owns it. And we out. And then we putting this on repeat because it beats anything today.

[@leroy592]

Steve Currie This is truly an underrated/ slept on collaboration.

[@mr.salhernandez602]

Yooo!!! No Doubt. Who did the beat????

[@johanmassy5290]

Freddie Burn Mics killed it with fury & Latifah torched it.

[@MsLuxxxor]

The best rap era !

[@mochabrown24]

I LOVE how Queen Latifah is reppin Winston Salem State University on her sweats!!! I never paid attention to that when I was watching this video back in '92. But when I graduated high school in 1996, I attended WSSU. And now here I am watching this video for the first time in almost 20 YEARS & I see that she has my school on her sweater! How cool is that.....

[@DJayIDAI]

This was when artist were harder than they were in video. Gather any group of modern artist and see if the variety of styles can come close to this. You got a 9? They killed it and kept it fun.

[@mkesmoke]

3:12 No lean, no molly back then!! They just drunk 20 40z smoke 40 blunts and that was it man. I luv the 90's.

[@JPR22]

There was woolies though

[@mkesmoke]

@@JPR22 Woolies? That was some crackhead sh!t though. They couldn't hang with us cause hard drugs was not normalize in the Hip hop culture like it is today.

[@sandraruiz3834]

I loved this song so much! so many different artists what a time to be alive

[@SilvaBlakk]

Damn I miss those days...pure Hip Hop...I remember watching this on Yo!! MTV Raps...Treach set it off nice but Dres brought it home lovely, his “you got a 9...” line brought a smile to my face cos when he pulled his “9” out it got me like it did back then!! Long Live Real Hip Hop!!✊🏾✊🏾

Yea, I had the privilege to move from Chi-town to NYC during this time. R.I.P. to the Twin Towers in the background!

[@chrisanderson1779]

EARLY 90S High School!!

[@saljuarez2910]

Love how back in the day the videos were more grimey, filmed in teh cold benches outside somwhere without all the glam and glits. Also, enjoyed watching mc's flowing and integrating themselves to the beat. Like you see everyone doing gestures according to the beat, scratches and hits, this is fire!!!!!!!

[@stallion_of_stat_]

this was soul music!...raw straight from the streets

[@2engjnr2]

Watching Heavy D bobbing up and down to this beat. Epic!

[@bobbyphillip1803]

This was filmed in Jersey City it was freezing that day

[@sandraruiz2212]

Latifah new exactly what she was doing with Flava Unit!!!

[@durterebelz]

Yet, it wasn't commercially successful for the artists.

[@johndrake2729]

I remember this. THIS is hip-hop.

Aw man Hev gave me chills when he popped up its been so long i forgot he had a verse

"Burn marks on my hips from my twin Glocks" is a cold ending line.

Legendary Line Up, true Emcees and stars in abundance. Incredible to also see where Latifah and Shakim took Flavour Unit as a company all these years later in TV /Online production 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯

[@deeayeveeeyedee3793]

LEGENDS. LEGENDS. LEGENDS. Treach, Chip Fu, Freddie Foxx, Heavy D, Latifah, D-Nice, and Dres. 🔥🔥🔥 I cleaned out my garage yesterday and found a mixtape I made when I was in 8th grade “The PHAT HipHop Mixtape Volune 1” LOL 😂 I checked the track list and sure enough THIS joint was on it but it been so long since I heard it I forgot how it went. Anyway, here I am today and The Flavor Unit sounds as fresh as they did back in 1992. What a classic! RIP Heavy D!

A video like this probably didn't have that much airplay AT ALL or else I would've known about it already 🤣!! 🤡 me if yall want but this is REAL HIP HOP!! SALUTE TO ALL in the video! Rip Heavy 🪨 D🙏!!

[@daver7465]

I LOVED this song/video when I was a kid! So much talent assembled. I wish the song was on spotify.

[@invisiblerevolution]

See.... and that exactly why I don't subscribe to those MUSIC SERVICES, they never have those real rap jems, only the pop trendy stuff.

[@09conjack]

Me too I miss my cassette tapes I had all of them and 45s lost my stuff in storage Amazon music doesn’t have it either or Spotify it’s black out sad and we celebrating 50 yrs of hip hop you would think they release everything this year to make more money 💰

When the East Coast had it on lock

[@andrebrown4152]

Huztle Mane ... the East never had it on lock. It just started there. Once it hit Queens... it traveled like wildfire.

[@imperialmedia1566]

not really when this was out deathrow records ran things the westcoast was much bigger

[@maco18521]

@Cadilac Gaboy yeah Nas, Wu, B.I.G., Naughty, EPMD, Redman, Tribe, KRS, Onyx, Keith Murray, Jeru The Damaja, Lords, Das Efx, were all complete zeroes during this time 🙄😉

[@maco18521]

@Cadilac Gaboy I'll give you The Chronic and Doggystyle were beast and Cube and Pac were killin it but to say NY wasn't shit during this time is inaccurate at best and straight bullshit at worst. West coast had those 4 artists poppin off and thats it. 36 chambers dropped in '93, Redman(I know he's from jersey but he's east coast) dropped in late '92 and was all over NY, B.I.G. party and bullshit was out already as well as Real Love remix, EPMD's headbanger and crossover were fire. Illmatic dropped early '94 and is legendary. Tribe was always crushing it, Scenario. West coast had a hot second on top but east coast had more depth and destroyed them as the decade progressed. B.I.G.'s two albums, Pun, Jay-z, DMX, all Wu solo acts, 50, Big L, it was a wrap!

[@maco18521]

@Cadilac Gaboy "death row dominated" is a bit of a stretch. 2 great albums(Chronic and Doggystyle) that were fire and that was it from death row around this time. Pac didn't drop all eyez on me on death row until early '96 and by that time Frank White had taken over the game and all the bullshit started. I'm not one of those NY'ers that don't give respect to the west but NY hip hop is far superior overall and over all. All the little brother and sister regions catch lightning in a bottle from time to time but nobody ever dominated NY and east coast. I think we'd both agree that we'd take anything from this era over the hot garbage they try to pass off as hip hop today.
