Ima huge fan of the STRESS REMIX by LARGE PRO! Not to mention ORGANIZED are very underrated as MCS ! BTW RJ IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PRODUCERS! He makes creative GREAT MUSIC!

Without sampling, hip-hop would be nowhere

Hi my Name is Anthony nice to meet you guy's.

Definitely not the most new york sounding nut I Definitely know the part.

Don’t forget to give the Boston Legends Planet Patrol credit for taking it and making it unforgettable. Joey Lites was the lead singer

Classic!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bob James is Hip Hop Icon..

i Got A Lot Cds And Records Thats Smut Hardest tack video crazy & Red Light District

Eastern Conference

YEZZUR, U DON'T NEED HEAVY EQUIPMENT TO MAKE DOPE SHIT.

ESG are an incredible trio. The story goes that their mother wanted them to start a band together so they would stay out of trouble. They ended up becoming not only incredibly influential on punk, funk, house, and hip hop, but of only a handful of all-female bands that are still active. My favorite song is “Moody.” That baseline just feels like walking down the street with a little swagger, paired with those sassy lyrics, I just love it.

MONCH IS A TECHNICIAN.

JULY 26 2024 ON THIS DAY IN HIP HOP HISTORY JULY 26 1988 36 YEARS AGO ERIC B AND RAKIM RELEASED Follow THE LEADER ALBUM THE FACT IT WAS 36 YEARS LATER AND STILL A CLASSIC ALBUM OF ALL TIME 💿

Edited version? Seems like I heard the F word on the radio version. And the song "I Want To Rock Your Body" I think it is, seems to have the F word.

Only real hiphop

20 years ago? dude, Usher "YEAH" was 20 years ago.

First time I heard Latyrx it blew me away......still does, every listen. Shadow's a bona fide genius.......just 2 samples, Odetta and Aminadav Aloni, and you end up with something so utterly otherworldly.

Two out of three members are not from California

It's actually bonkers how a track made in 1988 sounds so INTENSELLY HARDCORE AND LYRICAL. The God MC was in full effect on the Follow the Leader title track. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑

Love Rittz he’s an elite emcee. Shocked he picked “Ha” from that album, but not 400 Degrees the title track as the was def the dopest/darkest song on that album.

Super star ha ha horror city on stix & stonz I am the hidden mc

Steely Dan were the masters of hiding complex elements into a danceable setting. You can both learn and vibe from their material. Favourite band of all time!

DETROIT can not be F***ed with when it comes to MUSIC!

SHOCK G WAS A FUCKIN GENIUS!

The Guy album is a classic, but “it was too hard for the pop charts” is simply not true. It reached 27 on Billboard 200 and is DOUBLE PLATINUM! It was 34 on year End Billboard 200 chart and number 1 on year end R&B/HipHop Billboard end of year charts. Pop doesn’t always mean bad R.A it’s okay man (I say that as major fan). Many of the illest ever (in every genre have gold/platinum albums). Many also don’t sell a lot at all or who are ILL AF PS GZA Labels was a creative wordplay song using labels. Every Record Label sucks dick wasn’t that. Illest in Wu are Method Man, GZA, INS, Rae & Ghost. Best lyrically/emcees Meth & INS.

Where is the Chino XL featuring RA the Rugged man song?!?! It never came out? 😅 Also what is the “secret project” he was talking about?

I was actually shocked on QuestLove podcast (which Phonte is on as an ILL emcee and historian as well) when they had Pharoahe Monch on and Phonte said The Equinox was his favorite album of theirs. I was like what that’s clearly not as ILL as first 2 classics. It’s better than you guys made it sound, but it was def their weakest overall imo. No clue how someone as ILL as Phonte would think that 😅😆😅. Pharoahe def in my top1-7 GOAT tier.

Beastie Boys were not the same when he quit. Why did DJ Hurricane quit the Beastie Boys? Because his black peers kept making fun of him for DJing for a bunch of white boys. They’d also say stuff like, “Why do you work for the white man? They should be working for you! They should be your beo t ch! Don’t be a white man’s beo t ch!” DJ Hurricane felt peer pressure and shame from his black peers so he quit the Beastie Boys. If any of this is wrong then prove it! Otherwise, this is what happened.

Its wild that they never saw the original record and only knew it from ubb

Very cool

what a messy interview!

Tony hawk pro skater 1 and 2 put me onto public enemy

d.angelo

The interviewer on the left is daft AF

'Tappan Zee', 'Dream Journey' and 'Winding River' are nostalgic magic for me.

This was a culture thing in philly too.

Paul c was first in using it

Listen its with in us. We really can't explain how that explosion rippled all over the Earth. To all emcees! Listen. They cant still cant stop us.🤏🏾🌲🔥😤☁️🎶☁️🎶🪂🎶🪂🎶 I MUTH F', EMCEE MYSELF. MY FATHER WAS ALREADY INSTALLING DATA INTO MY WAVE. RIH SSGT OW.ALLEN I miss you dad. Then hiphop came out yo. Words cant explain how that felt. Now its Rakim, KRS 1, Justice, Public Enemy, 1st in for most THE FAT BOYS, RUN DMC, KOOL MOE, LL-COOL J, THEN RAP-LOT GETTOBOYS GRITTY DAMN NEAR LIKE THE MOVIE ON CASSETTE THOUGH. MC SHY D........ ALL THE WAY TO NOW. IOWN CARE. WHAT GOD CREATES KNOWONE CAN DESTROY. COLUMBUS MISSISSIPPI SALUTE. 51 STILL BUSTIN LIKE A LYRICAL 45. UM SO LIVE....KILLA K !

Is it me or is there a lot of hard S's in this when y'all say Nas?

Bob James has nothing of interest to say here about sampling outside of his not 'getting his.' He would be forgotten for his mediocre music but not for being sampled which has afforded him a long career, and for that he should bow down to Run DMC rather than lament it.

This EP is a gem but hands down the holy grail when it comes to De La (RIP Dave) wax is Smell The Da.I.S.Y. (Da Inner Soul Of Yancy) LP RSD White ONLY 100 pressed by De La an it featured all exclusive production by J Dilla aka Jay Dee (RIP) imo

Hands down the only album that I can play and never get tired of. The best thing is that the lyrics evolve with those of us that lived during this time on up until this day. Africa makes me tear up because of the love that is described as a pen letter that fathers should feel towards their children. Chills man

My freshmen year in high.school 1988.. in the back of the bus coming from a freshmen football game on the road... they had the big boom box and all. like huge...heard this... then i bought the tape! Top 10 album for me all time.

This was the first rap I memorized due to the production and his flow. I was like 13 or 14 at that time 😊

I rocked my first crowd lyrically with Mardi gras 🎙️ #circa1985

RZA was SUPER influenced! lol #LIFTED
