[@ishmaelhart]

[@timsanchez5834]

I used to bumb this in 94 and I can't believe how dope this still is...real shit!

[@LouieV6]

I remember Preemo playing this track on Hot 97 in 95. Good times!

[@solmess1]

RIP Yusef Afloat!!

[@Salutcavamec]

There were so many good tracks in 1994

[@marioselva7162]

no doubt.

[@KobeBryant-zf5sz]

So right

[@mcelf168]

Mad I never heard this. I’ve played this like 12 times in a row. This is how hip hop used to feel. This is the vibes. I miss that.

[@altaariq]

I first heard this in 95, it was a B side and my homie DJ Phinga Print put it on a mix tape he made for me

[@brmbkl]

still was pretty unique, even back in the day. existentialist vibes.

[@imacryptid5254]

@@brmbkl there is still music with the same vibe being made it's just really hard to find due to unpopularity

[@TheConnorKeene]

Hope you found a lot of good Hip-Hop since then.. these whack mc's

[@213ARod]

Such a melancholic jam. I get a bit nostalgic when I rock to this.. A kind of loneliness strikes me too. Being from LA the video's scenery mixed with the music reminds me of walking the streets during sunset buzzed and/or faded. Then I stop for some tacos to eat as I wait for the bus so I can go to my day 1 homie's house to do get more drunk & high all night. The streets is where my heart is. Can't help it.

[@groove4179]

213ARod Word up.

[@dionmiller8547]

[@tokitoki2776]

ヒップホップでベスト３に入るほど大好きな曲です。１２インチシングル２枚買ってしまいました。

[@dnyl1488]

[@ヒイ様-i5m]

同感です。 いたってシンプルなピアノループなのにいつ聞いても新鮮で心が落ち着く...不思議な曲です

[@jeffb4762]

MAN SAD HOW HIP HOP WILL NEVER EVER BE THIS GOOD AGAIN 😔😔😔

[@wizkid8205]

Jeffery Barbee it bring me to tears

[@williammcarty6873]

how do you recreate a social movement?

[@brmbkl]

as it always is and will be : blues, funk, jazz, - it all has a golden period

[@emanatingf]

@Jeffery Barbee How do you know as long as the spirit's still alive it's not lost there's dudes innovating on the real you just need to dig in the crates & discover them. That's what The Nonce would want you to see as they were illing in the Underground too.

[@bsommer1717]

so much emotion...love this

[@garethglitter5932]

Close to my heart

[@groove4179]

[@krspx1]

Dope, but It's not the best version. On the Bus Stops single on wax It's called the "vocal non-album track ." It's the same sample but a much purer mix and vocals. This version here sounds like they came back and re-did everything to try and liven it up or something. The non-album version I speak of sounds like it was likely the 1st original cut in its best, most perfectly simple form.

[@dereksalas8195]

Never understood why this version wasn't put on the CD

[@altaariq]

it's on the 12" b-side, my homie had it they'd the only reason I knew about it

[@mjt442]

It's on the 2nd CD, "The Sight of Things."

[@dereksalas8195]

yea, i remember , "bus stops"right. "Falls" one of their best. still bumps today.

[@charlesevans4368]

Derek Salas it was on da b side of bus stop tape single.

[@ArmzKiro]

Amazing music shame about the name just change it

[@PFJ012]

so good and only 3 415 views lmao

[@zahiranavarrete7935]

[@mwright3471]

when is the UK tour?

[@stripformebabestripforyou8327]

It'll happen when they bring back Jim'll Fix It..

[@djmsup]

There’s much stress in the life I live

that beat though, I need this instrumental..

Nice, good lookin out...I figured there had to be one out there ;)

[@peterholly]

Franklin Benjamin it's also on Spotify under 'sach'

[@menthosonthegoghst]

Dope!

[@joaquinjoaquinjoaquin]

Anyone knows the sample? Super obscure...

[@vojtechkoblizek]

www.whosampled.com/The-Nonce/Who-Falls-Apart%3F/ Here's That Rainy Day by Wes Montgomery (1965)

[@Bastiiiiify]

Is this an official video, or made by a fan?

[@SuperStarASAR]

4 square kicker L7s. #Slap

[@groove4179]

Breakin Mirrors!!

[@loungefly92]

What city was this filmed in?

[@213ARod]

Adrian According to the street signs I can make out, majority, if not the whole video, was filmed on the streets of Santa Monica, CA. The freeway shown may very well be the 110. Yusuf Afloat, one half of the duo, was found dead next to this freeway. "And if you hear me think about your favorite group that's lost."

[@markzucker3949]

Sounds like old wu tang

[@carlosfinomunoz4074]

Aguante el rap nigaz de u.s.a.
