East Coast Killa/ West Coast Killa- Most Underrated Hip-Hop track ever!!!!!!

[infinite59]

This song was released at the hieght of all the East Coast/ West Coast drama, right around the time of 2pac's death, and right before both coasts started doing records with eachother.  This was a landmark record.  It should have it's place in the history of hip-hop and should have defined that post-2pac era.  Instead, it came and went virtually unnoticed. 

Have ya'll heard the lyrics to this track?  It's sick!  Did ya'll check Nas out, "When I bomb like Sadaam/ The world feels the wrath of Khan/ All black on/ In this modern day Babylon!"---That is so ill!!!!  For those that don't know the Khan's were a dynasty that laid destruction all throughout the Muslim and Christian world during the middle ages, (all the way to "Babylon", (Iraq)) before the later generations of the Khan empire left Hinduism for Islam and thus propelled Islam to being the dominant political worldview of the Eastern World.

Anyway, aside from the brief history lesson, every MC on this track kills it.  B-Real, RBX, KRS-1.. THe beat is one of the illest hip-hop beats ever... and the video was great theatre...

Why I say underrated is because I only saw the video to this song once, and the song was never even played on the radio.  Doesn't make sense. 

Dre took an upright stance against violence in hip-hop in 1996.  Now people want Dre to do positive records and he always says, "I tried that with Aftermath Presents, and it flopped."--  It's a shame.

I live in Germany, no way to see videos like that on German television. So somebody has to upload the video

I never even knew there was a video for this shit. Somebody gotta hook it up through the hook-up spot forum.
