The 40 oz is easily the most underrated piece of a drum kit.

[tubelessronniee]

Very interesting for covering my tune...peace

[rassclaat]

the full circle of hip-hop music... Played jazz -> sampled for hip hop beat -> interpolated, and rearranged into played jazz....fucking beautiful... wow... I'm so damn impressed.

[loudspeaker]

12 years on and this still feels as fesh as it was back in High School. Makes me smile thinking about BBNG's success since those early Bandcamp albums.

“I Like em Brown Yellow Peurto Rican or Haitian, name is Phife Dawg from the Zulu Nation”

[thegcqexperience]

"Relax yourself girl, please settle down" in my head over and over

[JayPhilly]

I don’t claim to be a musical genius but I know talent when I see it, and that mascot has what it takes

[shaolinslumz]

honey check it out youve got me mesmerized

[Dontrel]

Why do double bassists in bands like this always rock out so hard it's rad

[alexfisher]

10 years later and I still bump this weekly for my nightly sesh. Glad you guys found success but even more glad you guys found each other. A good group to jam with is worth more than all the money in the world. For many years to come. Keep it groovin

[matthaggard]

When you get done with the Annual purge and you need to chill.

[edsherrell]

Easily one of the greatest bass lines in music history.

[shrekka]

the lion rubbing himself to the groove of the song is such a nice touch. and i mean that seriously, the whole atmosphere of this video is so smooth and relaxing. you guys did this song justice, thank you.

[michaelmcgovern]

I love you guys for this. Not a lot of jazz that’s new for us young people to enjoy in this day and age. Taking one of my all time favorite rap groups from the 90’s and combining it with one of my favorite jazz group it made my day. I’m 16 and play guitar in my jazz combo at school and u guys encouraged me to pursue music as a whole and really push and challenge my character and goals

Hello from the year 2023. Still listening, still loving.

[robert-dgu]

i like that he drank just enough of the 40 to make it in harmonize. lol.

[AsStakta]

This drummer ... He plays it simple, but with soul and holds the phase . Respect to you ! Live long awesome trio .

[guitarguyd]

I would be in awe if they also covered Butter by ATCQ with Leland Whitty playing the sax line. 

[bossface]

Damn being a jazz player/hip-hop fan I gotta say I'm blown away. The skill it takes to keep a strong groove and play nice melodies as a trio is ridiculous you guys are killin every single one of you

[sanic]

RIP PHIFE! HE WOULD'VE LOVED TO SEE THIS
