Witness a time where a select few MCs formed an underground movement that defined a high standard of lyricism, counteracting a rise in commercialized Hip Hop. YouTubers Hip Hop R-Us and superspezial rap present these special moments which capture the heat of competition on the mic. MCs include KRS-One, Lord Finesse, Common, Shabazz The Disciple and more. We get a moment of Diamond D on stage with Common just before the release of their albums plus a freestyle from Finesse just before "The Awakening" dropped.

Get 'em high as Common returns to his hometown of Chicago to rock the crowd with his uplifting Hip Hop sound.

The result is the full circle return of an MC who has discovered his self through music and still shows potential to grow. Let the music of Common inspire you to go soul searching as he takes you from The Corner, through The Sunshine, into a Resurrection and much more.

I've had this Big L/Pete Rock collab on tape since '94 but didn't see it uploaded online, so here it is! Hopefully this inspires someone to upload Pete Rock's rare Future Flavas remix of "Live To Regret" by Busta Rhymes. I've been looking for a copy of that one for years.

When I first heard Common and Pete Rock were collaborating on an album, I could already imagine it would be like a dream. Enjoy this grand matchup made in Hip Hop royalty as a duo resurrect the Soul of Hip Hop on "The Auditorium Vol. 1". The heavens open up our eardrum to witness the divine sound of a Soul Brother and a brother with Soul By The Pound.
