True Hip-Hop Stories: Sadat X of Brand Nubian

[xWindShadowMothx]

Guys gave him his FIRST felony, people he had problems with. Fake people. He had the gun because of THEM this man didn't HAVE that record.Everything he says is very truth and also his case is WHY the Constitution should be the FINAL say on the matter. That should be that. The 2nd amendment should be the ONLY thing that matters on the debate for guns that should be it!.

[xWindShadowMothx]

@xWindShadowMothx No felonies cause some trouble makers he had problems with offered snitch to get him locked up for a year he did NOTHING but work and had it messed up. If he called the police on them it would have wrecked his career, his money, his reputation AND the police would have done NOTHING he HAD to handle things HIMSELF.This wasn't government that did this...this was POLICE, acting on behalf of his enemies. Fake shit.

[xWindShadowMothx]

@xWindShadowMothx I make no apologies its like this. If you get a call about somebody working hard, makes music about working hard "Get up at the God hour to make beats" ok, and they tell you about a weapon. This man has no record...THATS suspicious to me. That would make me wonder, ok yeah about the weapon; but also about YOU getting in the way of somebody with no history of that kind of stuff and no reason to mess up the product of his diligence. Charge EXTRA if they go to a show. Year's pay!

[thereddread]

Thank you for this.

[clay5427]

that solo cd was the shit

[ElmerDurrer]

yo D-Nice...all of these are the shit brotha...mad i didnt find them sooner

[SedVicious]

snitches get stitches

[xfxrony]

Respect u sir....u r really awesome....hats off.....

[BeenaBee]

the street scholar...nuff respect

[Maestro13193]

this is a real ass due....all praises due to Hip Hop

[Skellsies]

The school teacher!

[Skellsies]

I have that Brown ivy jacket, it's Fire!!!

[719kai719]

they need to remove the age limit from hiphop... I agree with that.let he talent and love for hip hop speak for itself

[719kai719]

this song reminds me of my early years in college. I danced to this at many a party back in the day (1990's) Memories..

[Pookie2419]

Dag Sadat, you should've never carried that gun. Your flow's always been tight, you could've damn near talked a joker out of a beef. Keep your head up regardless.

[Bootlegger718]

alot of people these days dont even know who X is, what a shame...

[PumasNFatLaces]

PURE KNOWLEDGE. I love this guy for his input on Hip Hop.

[adibac19]

he performing live friday aug 19th at "The Art of Lyrics" in the bronx 940 garrison ave.

[jody808]

i like this dude, he is truthful

[LudicLorenzo]

I was already a huge fan of X, but after watching this, my respect for him shot through the roof.

[krissto71]

One of the best voices out there.....

[ActionFarter]

Pure Relevance

[andrewburton12345678]

I think One For All (Brand Nubian) and Breaking Atoms (Main Source) are the most forgotten hip hop albums ever, even though they are classics

[fukwaynecampaign2]

@andrewburton12345678 I highly agree, glad that I'm not the only one that thinks so.

[Meowsaidthekitty]

Sadat X is the man

[soulbrotherlegendary]

SADAT X dropped the Best Interview. Working with Kids with that Violent Felony is so irritating. If you did the time that should be enough, don't let it filter to the kids. The system is unjust. Get it expunged as soon as possible... JAIL is no place for the God. This was an excellent piece. Thanks.

[NowRoDHS]

And if it comes to droppin' bombs...hey i'm wit that!!!  Classic joint!!!

[kunadawa44]

Nice interview....Sadat X been my dude since back in the day. I remember seeing Brand Nubian in concert back in 93....one of the illest and most original emcees.

[RoxyRock76]

Love him! I miss all the truly talented, inspirational artists from the 80's and 90's! It saddens me that they are no longer recording! We need them!

[totaleclipse666]

Dude's charismatic as hell.

[sugarkang]

Man, I was all into Hilfiger because of these dudes.

[DirtMurkDog]

respect



[Traksmasher]

Respect to the God Sadat X,..but it's not hate pointing out that these new cats are making"POP"music..NOT HIPHOP!!! I realize the politics of this game today requires that many old school emcees..umm..patronize these"POP"dudes..just to maintain some recognition..but..if you have-DNicetv..then who cares about 106&TRL,XXS,and The Sauce wackazine.Its all for one..remember-Peace

[Jkay370]

nicevideocheckout thisvideo's. Search for crack city dvd!

[ThoughtseizeBeats]

Nice!

[RockinLifestyle]

Who's the asshole that disliked this video?

[AddisTunes]

Yo, I remember him on the #1 train around 157th....but didn't know about all that. I remember he was coaching back then. Kind of curious to know what *really* happened up there, tho... I can tell you after 10 years living on 163rd....you don't bother no one and no one bothers you... But then again, if you get caught up in one of those little love triangles...some dudes would get kind of emotional. LOL! But by and large, cats who did dirt...well, they did it with each other.

[KidFaw]

Sadat packs heat? lol damn. I thought he was a positive cat.

[liquidgold]

@KidFaw Self Preservation my friend. :)

[lexplug]

i really enjoyed that! nice upload thankyou;)peace out lexplug

[bdscavenger]

[GrapLuvaMr7]

This is MY DUDE!!!!!!

[RealHipHopSupreme]

The one person that disliked this vid must be feeling like a real dumbass LOL

[naturefreedom]

This brotha is so underrated and definitely has one of the best unorthodox deliveries.

[koigreen]

[PeeDopeRecords]

Derrick X has one of the classic voices & rhymes ever in hip hop

[69ways2sunday]

Brand new joint feat' SADAT X 2011 on my page (no hoax)

[HipHopLivesUG]

WILD COWBOY NIGGA!

[TheBrooklynDodger]

Great interview w/ a true legend! Was hoping he'd touch on the kinda vicious tone the album cut of "Punks" has compared to the remix...always took me back that it kind of made the leap from "normal" homophobic lyrics to something a little more brutal and hoped he'd talk about it. But whatever. Sorry to hear about his run-in! Hope Sadat puts out more great shit in the future!

[TheAmericanObserver]

Great Interview!

[DrezNoir]

man ups to Sadat for keeping in real..Brand Nubian is one of the first hip hop groups that i started to listen too!

[jaynegs76]

[4krush]

Awesome quality.  This video is looks like it was filmed with the Canon 5d mk II.

[proni1]

[PowerIBismillah]

Sadat X is like the president,I'm in D.C. down at the monument....Peace to the God for always staying humble & providing us with that mental food.

[rago]

[adangme]

This just reminded me of how well Sadat could rhyme!

[vollsticks]

You can tell he's a clever bloke, his intelligence shines through....pity about all the homophobia and that, though....good interview.

[MrTonyCejas]

Listening to him recite that just reminds me that true emcee's are true poets...REAL HIP-HOP...words meant something and you can picture it in your head as if someone's telling a tale or a situation...this present stuff is bull****...some of it.

[healthysky]

Love X. 

[theinfamous1efcuttin]

[sankofa669]

That "Punks Jump Up To Get beat down" is about or almost 20 years old, and it sounds 10,000 times better than all that bullshit that is being played on the radio today.

[Oldschoolrap91]

@sankofa669 damn right....hell year we gotta support those kinda mcs.....80s and 90s 4ever...

[Knicks2Dend]

BIG UPS to Sadat X - I remember him back when he rolled with Brand Nubian. Much respect. I need to catch up on more of his solo work- dude can spit his ass off!!!!!! Also BIG PROPS to D- NICE for his KILLER series. Just wish they were longer and I hope he puts out a compilation DVD.

[joekhaki]

[nuevayoriquenyo]

[kirgeez]

Dam they hated on him hard...

[Jerzeegeemoney]

It's f*cked up how he's not able to do some of the things he'd like to do in the schools for the kids because of a bunch of b*tch ass haters droppin dime on him..Prison is a business and set up to keep you in the system .That' s why we need to build more schools for the boys in turn we build less prisons for the men

[Ynot707]

He's still making good music. Respect to Brand Nubian!!

[port2344chester]

Sadat X you are a living LEGEND!!! Peace my brotha!!!

[chicagoconnoisseur]

"Although I hit a pound of herb, I'm still nice with the verbs, so *#@^ what ya' heard"

His Wild Cowboys album was a classic as well!

[RioGiovanni]

found the song! :D It's "Punks jump up to get beat down"

[RioGiovanni]

and I just realised it shows the name of the song right after.. facepalm.

[MrBigraw]

Sadat X a very smart man and he right we still like hip -hop so how come our Icons have to stop at a certain age.Mick Jagger like 80 years old and they still tour.I would pay good money for my Old school rappers to perform!!!

[MrBabz71]

[RioGiovanni]

[rexboogie]

I went to school with sadat. Played pop warner football with him. He is a good dude.

[Hias74]

This is really well done. Thanks.

[sharkdogg69]

Respect due. I always loved his style. He had a unique style and they represented on the "In God We Trust " album, after Grand Puba left. Those were the days.

[RikAmmo]

Lord Jamar needs to get off his high horse.

Sadax is a good dude.

[poppalarge68]

Damn.... I would love to come up with some super hot "Real' hip hop tracks so that Sadat can spit all over it and give a good blessing to the microphone... This brother has got a lyrical vibe that's truly his own.. And the interview was mind blowing...

[CWroyal88]

damn snitches they are gonna pay for what they did to Sadat

[iluvmyboba]

Me and my Godbrother were recently compiling a list of the 10 best MC's in Hip-Hop. When we compared our lists', my Godbrother said: Sadat X? Are you sure? I knew he was never really a big Brand Nubian fan. So I took a few minutes to school him. I started with Sadat X has one of the most illest voices and the best delivery in Hip-Hop. After the lesson he still questioned a few others on my list but not X anymore. Thanks D-Nice this is long overdue.
