Yeah, positivity over comes negativity check it

A gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat
So stop with the black on black (x2)

We got black on black
Black on crack
Knowledge of self is what the black people lack
Grew up in the projects with the welfare and the food stamps
Modern day concentration camps
Where we lost all our unity
Because the negativity pulls us down like gravity
Black people on each others' back
Little shortie sedated thinkin' the way out is by selling crack
I seen black brothers cry like day by day the number multiply
And the devil don't give a damn long as a black man kills another black man
It makes his job more easier
As the tick goes with the tock, he's just gettin' sleezier and sleezier
Here's a good example of yourself
Talkin' about a devil on a record, they put you on the shelf
As long as you talk about "Yo I bust this nigga and I bust that nigga"
You grow bigger as a rap figure
But that's still black on black, welcome back
It's time to graduate from that

Change gon come change gon come time to free the dumb time to free the dumb
(x3)
Change gon come say what say what so get up out the slum

Now let's deal on the real don't you set sick of this?
The way we hate each other the shit's ridiculous
It's time to move on to the next phase
Cause there's too many shorties gettin' boxed in the grave
Some think respect is a uzi or a tech
But when he steals your intellect it's like a rope around your neck
That's the 2000 tricknology
That's the shit you won't learn in college, but a
You got to be strong you got to hold on
You got to know the ledge before you hit the edge
Time to get wise and civilize
Open up your eyes all three eyes and recognize
What your doing all that bullshit you pursuing
Put your whole life on ruin
So let's kill the black on black vicker
Cause it only gets us locked up or in the box quicker
And that ain't how you get the cheese
Cause now ya locked up or gunned down by your enemies
But I'm a dead it at that
Remember a gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat
Word is born

Keep it true God keep it true (x8)

Know what I'm sayin'? Time to civilize you know get wise. Think. Stop and think
You know what I'm sayin'? No doubt. Check it so just...

No doubt I'd like to send this one out to all the people still striving and
Stugglin' to keep it real you know what I'm sayin'? Not actin' like we keepin' it
Real no doubt. Peace and love. That's D on the hook off

Grand Puba | Change Gonna Come (1995)

“We searched high and wide, far and low, and we got all the butters here. This is the best of the independent that came out.” – Mr. Dave

“Haze Presents NY Reality Check 101” came along at an ideal time in my life. I was already a hip-hop writer, a college radio show host and a (really lousy) disc jockey who was married to the elements. There was no “I USED to Love H.E.R.” in my life — I had been smitten in my pre-teen years and that love only grew in my teens and 20’s. It was not an easy relationship though living in a very rural part of America. Without magazines like The Source, newsgroups like rec.music.hip-hop, and friendly record store managers (whattup Dean) who would place special orders for me, I’d have been ass out trying to keep up with the scene. “NY Reality Check 101” was one such order in December ’97. You weren’t going to find this album at Walmart.

It’s amazing how an album that was transformative and revelatory to me in the late 1990’s has vanished without a trace a little over 20 years later. You can find an entry here or there with artwork or a release date, but scant little discussion of how amazing this CD was. In a way having a college friend from Philadelphia (whattup Ron) prepared me well for its arrival. It was through him that I got my exposure to the mixtape scene, so I was already listening to compilations from Ron G, Kid Capri and DJ Premier, “P-P-P-Premier” of Gang Starr fame among others. The latter is the man behind the wheels here, and although it’s Haze that “Presents” this mixtape, his presence is basically non-existent. Primo is the one who mixes, blends, juggles and doubles the tracks, scratching up a bevy of what Dave Sumpter a/k/a Mr. Dave aptly described as “the butters” of underground rap.

To this day Primo’s slice and dice of Bigg Jus saying “Bugged like Rwanda” over and over for the intro of Company Flow’s “8 Steps to Perfection” makes the hairs on my arms stand up. “Reality Check 101” was when I discovered Company Flow and by extension Rawkus Records, and hearing it again reminds me of that incredible feeling. Yeah eventually Ron or someone in the know would have hipped me to CoFlow if it weren’t for this CD, but the butter is just spread so smoothly here that I have to toast Premier. If you try listening to this on Spotify or YouTube it’s really not going to do it justice with the buffering, commercial breaks and constant interruptions. The way Primo flowed the song into “Changes” by Shades of Brooklyn made me a huge fan of BOTH acts. You better believe I was immediately trying to cop twelve inch singles for each one.
