MC Serch ft. Nas, Chubb Rock & Red Hot Lover Tone - Back To The Grill (Explicit)

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

He might not have had dozens of hip hop classic hits but Chubb Rock had an unmistakable hip hop voice. Very unique flow too.

[@TheArmchairgm]

The one Chubb had, 'Treat 'Em Right', is a CERTIFIED hip-hop classic, more than anything by Nas, Third Bass, and Tone. That song makes my 72 yr old aunt rock her head.

Nas came so different it sounded like he spit his verse from 5 years in the future

[@RaySantoyo4]

Yup that’s why he got spotted by Columbia records right after this song

[@IAmCarltonJames]

I was literally just thinking, this song is like the exact moment on record where the 80s style of rapping that had come through into the 90s, passed the torch over to the 90s style. Which stayed the standardised way to rap for 3 decades. It’s like this verse in ‘92 is the blueprint. Like you say, it’s almost like it’s from the future.

[@RJMacReady1]

Spot on.

[@SLaird22]

This puts it into words really nicely. Like, I've always wondered how it would blow minds if you took say Kendrick Lamar and just dropped him into 1990 and you're right, it would probably be something like this.

[@SLaird22]

For example for lack of better phrasing the way he rides that break in the beat on the "serial killer who works by the phone book" line is common today but that kind of nuance IMO was ahead of its time in the early 90s. And this isn't a shot at this era, things just naturally evolve over time. If you took Run DMC and put them into 2020 they would adapt and sound a whole lot different.

[@SLaird22]

Illmatic classic review

[@wallstthug]

Nas hit a different dimension when he came in , almost like he went thru a wormhole to change rap for ever

[@LordPladis]

So chill track! I really love it! Time is Illmatic Thank you for the knowledge!

[@alirezamodares3463]

Nas Verse was ahead of it's time. The other sound like typical 80's rapppers, but Nas sounded like a rapper from the mid-late 90's . He was ahead of his time tho 🔥

[@pickyvickys5774]

100 percent! That's what I was thinking!

[@marioteran9945]
