Everyday at 5pm we will be posting a classic video that meant something in hip hop..
(If you have a favorite classic video let us know)
“Shook Ones (Part II)” is the lead single from Mobb Deep’s (1995) album The Infamous. The song was an instant classic.. The song is a sequel to the group’s 1994 promotional single “Shook Ones Part 1”, with similar lyrics, but less profanity. The original song is featured on the b-side of some releases of “Shook Ones part II” and was also included on the international version of the group’s album Hell on Earth.
The song is told from the perspective of inner-city youths engaged in territorial warfare and struggling for financial gains.
