Forget what you heard, this was the joint in NYC! Believe it! Although we stayed clownin on the Jerry Curls, not cuz they wasn't hot, but cuz they was played out after Billy D and Curtis Blow were done with it.
wow, old skoollll! this was our "homecoming week/spirit week" song for our class my junior year i think (c/o 95). forgot all about this song....til now.
These homies crafted dozens of timeless jams. Proof is that you can still bump this in your car or in the club and everybody around will bang their heads. Their three first records are completely underrated. Great post, homez!
i think one of the main reasons these guys never made it as big was because they came out one year after n.w.a. and if you look at it comptons most wanted never made it as big either..but these foos are the shit! you dont hear me tho!~>
To me its obvious. There is no one that raps like Dubb C and that has the same moves. Please let let me know who you THINK it is cause Im really curious.
I'm positive that is NOT Dubb C. That rapper's name is Insane Poetry. Dubb C was with the Maad Circle back when this song was out. And before that he was ina group called Low Profile. He didn't get a bald head until Coolio left the group W.C. and the Maad Circle.
@ocbigriver I know, there are a lot of West Coast artists that barely got shine. Hip hop industry started hating on the west and sht us down, then the South took over
@decentdad i think its cuz these niggaz were too street ta go commercial u seem lika tru rodney o n cooley fan so u kno these niggaz r sum "real" ganxtas they really repped hard 4 tha west idk why they never mention em in the westcoast eastcoast beef they played a big part in it
hardest track ? i've now listened some rodney o and joe cooley and they are SHIT. I can't believe how people can keep this shit good. i keep listening the oldskoolers who knows how to rap..
@decentdad probably cuz it was that much harder to come out from the west coast in hip hop. back then east coast rappers dominated the culture. this is the time gangsta rap was just a baby coming up
I liked this so bad that I put my boom box up to the speaker and hit record. I used to play it on a blank cassette tape. Damn! I don't even think that they have blank cassette tapes anymore. LOL After I recorded it "Ghetto Style" LOL... I used to play it all the time.
I was in this Video. We started shooting in the morning near downtown L.A. and we didn't finish til about 1am. and it started to rain. The blue Corvette got a flat tire from doing all the burnouts and donuts. Shout out to Rodney & Joe Thanks homies.
Kakis, T Shirts, Cortez, Chucks, Starter Jackets and Starters Hats was the shizznit...if you had Loot you were rocking MJs....this is the shizznizz....Good lookin playa for the post
That's sweet how they sampled Ohio Players's ROLLER COASTER and EARTH,WIND AND FIRE'S DEVOTION I Hav'nt heard this since High school These Brothas were and are so under rated and were well ahead of their time True way makeers and Trailblazers.
this group what all started NWA they brought gangsta in the west side way before eazy-e tupac dr dre snoop doog xzibit ice cube ice t nate dogg and all those guys even bone thugs and harmony became top rappers of Cailfornia
@amike76 Actually the Exec At Priority Records stole the Idea of the Gangsta look from a Rap group out of Oakland Ca, called 415. their album dropped(first) the same year as N.W.A's but 415 was a group 2 yrs previous to N.W.A. ever being formed by Eazy-E. They had sent/brought Demo's out to L.A. and some Exec. at the time liked what they seen. Look them up on here -->415-Sideshow <-- This is Richie Rich's(do' G's get to go to Heaven)Group.
@FRISCOP1 On the books it say's they both( N.W.A and 415 ) formed and disbanded 1986-1991....but Bay area people know street wise that 415 was underground before they joined a label
Do the world a favor and rip them all and torrent seed them for a few months... I just picked up F__K New York and Me and Joe off Amazon used for $20.. I'm planning to distro them.. This music is too good to be completely unavailable (and F__K a greatest hits tape!!!)
It still looks hot years later when that dude steps onto the hood of the car (while it's moving ) spitin "..and my act's ready to split backs. " Classic joint.
Me and homeboy dee used to watch this video over and over again on vhs back in the day rewindin and shit... 6th grade, this the video that made me want a car...lol
