[blackinkworks]

my dad knows him

[roBEARtoEHarwoodJr]

@2:19... "I hear voices sayin' dat's Erick Sermon, Erick Sermon, Erick Sermon..."

[BillyKnockout]

Dang ! I forgot all about the EPMD and Rakim beef

[crisdigi]

man..i love this guy!!! always real with it

[jtfsucks]

Respect the Old Skool Hip Hop.

[gothamjediknight]

E Double kinda reminds me of a black Ron Jeremy

PEACE TO MC GRAND ROYAL AND THE R

[CHEFBREAKEM]

"...and that's words to live by!"

E P M D

[Sentinel2k1]

I knew Rakim was talking about someone when he said that line but I had no idea he was talking about EPMD, he really was destroying them though

[TheIG07]

The Legendary Erick Sermon! The Def Squad was one of the most underated crews to do it!

[MrSein88]

Bless EPMD and Rakim..they've blessed my life.

[Chuloloc]

Interesting. Glad that EPMD and Rakim squashed that beef. You know, one of the few things that I never loved about hip hop was all the beefs and battles. Personally, I think its all nothing but childish nonsense and a cheep was to rise and sell records which is just as bad as crossing over. Hail hip hop unity.

[DoctorSess]

@Chuloloc word!

[Chuloloc]

@DoctorSess Thanks. Long live hip hop unity.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

EPMD gives a great live show!

[Blakkset]

E is so humble how he clearly states "R was destroyin us"! Humble and one of the sickest producers on the mic, EVER!!!!

[TheEman67]

lol No matter how the beef started once it happend it was always classic

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

3:55 That should be the youtube comment plug line

[str8outtatexas1]

you see how eric sermon smashed all the critics with that bullshit about how the streets started that shit? that's the difference between the 80's hip-hop versus todays punk ass,fake plastic,no rapping,shitty ass beats of today. you see how that same type of he say,she say,they say shit caused beef between the east & west coast? rappers today would go out and attempt to kill one another behind shit like this. we as a people at times are our own worse enemy. greed,stardom, & money will do it.

[Dablkwid0w2008]

u wasnt all that cool when I meant you E

[wallyworld776]

I will say this...one thing that gave EPMD staying power is that they were just a couple of regular ass too cool for school types...Erick always seemed very humble.

[Docmananoff]

This dude is a real cool cat! I met him before and he was a real dude! So I can co-sign what he said on here, he lives it!

[siwooot]

is he wearing blue contact lenses?

[reeree212]

@siwooot

Those are his real eyes,and they are green. That's why they call him the "green eyed bandit".

[UNDERTAKERSFANZ]

@siwooot DUH DUM ASS

[siwooot]

@UNDERTAKERSFANZ calm down idiot.

[UNDERTAKERSFANZ]

@siwooot YOU ARE A DAM FOOL

[MikeMagician12]

[NOTIQRADIO]

@MikeMagician12 his nickname has always been the Greeneyed Bandit.

[letevebe]

[BigDapPacino]

Eric speaks the truth on the end and that is why some celebs fall off...they can't be humble and give their fans love back!

[AndreRedd1Empire]

[DominoDee]

Dude Is Te truth,I got all Their Albums Too.

[JFAINTER88]

@jrwellin respect talent is all

[noirnoticvibe]

EPMD...forever...so what u say'n...

[xeno18ufo]

hey ..does anybody know a song ... (i think is) named: Any Given Sunday (and was a group who sings it) . it's kind of old, at least from 2000.

[MegaHastle]

EPMD should come together to make one last album called *Mind Your Business* and they should use that album to speak about their personal differences amongst each other.

[TheMagnificent73]

Erick Sermon is so underrated as an emcee and especially as a producer.

[tlig]

@TheMagnificent73 As a producer, yep. As a rapper? Not really, he isn't that good (or interested it would seem).

ERICK FUCKING SERMON. FIVE STARS

[dirtyfighter34]

Big respect to all who are posting interviews with Hip Hop Legends. I'm trying to watch them all, coming up, these guys are pioneers.

Boogaloo Shrimp. Taco. Rakim. Twin Hype. The list goes on and on from all genres.

[OZORIA1]

Classic Hip Hop story, I knew about the verse Rakim did aimed Kane on Follow The Leader, (a verse he later erased, and only left a hint of on the final recording), but I NEVER knew about the other verse addressing the EPMD thing, til I saw this footage! Shows how lyrically skilled the Lyrical God Rakim is, and how subliminal he can be when he wants to be! Great Footage, too bad the interviewer interrupted his story to tell hers!

[Mackadoeshez]

Great upload!!

E Sermon/Def Squad/EPMD is a certified official!!!

[SDOevolve]

Smh at your infantile insults. You see sh*t, if I may call you by your 1st name...I moved past 'yo Mama' jokes in 3rd grade when I sent a classmate to the nurses office.

Now, since this whole discussion (if I should even call it that, being that I'm typing to a piece of fecal matter) was based on a critique of (maybe your a homosexual and got offended) Erick Sermon, and then incorrectly identified as a "lisp." Let me help you out by allowing you a change to stfu while you still can. lol

[SDOevolve]

I rather use a "played term" (which defines you completely) than to call myself sh*ttySh*t69? smh Your name speaks volumes on everything from your sexual preference to your creditability/value.

You haven't realized that you couldn't win an argument with me yet? Especially when you were moronic enough to draw 1st blood? I'm proud to have rented so much space in that minuscule cerebral of yours. lol

[SDOevolve]

@shittyshit69 .... It seems I struck a nerve? Priceless for someone who is "irrelevant." You see, the difference between me and you is that I don't hide behind words like f*g and poser ... I demonstrate my mental prowess by shutting down net wanksters like you.

Have a nice day and don't forget to clean your sh*tty keyboard. ;-)

[SDOevolve]

@shittyshit69 .... very apparent you can't read. Ironic though, since your name points out where your words must come from. I suggest you remove your lips from your anal region, then you can end the habit of talking sh*t. ;-)

[aakim58]

Erick is a real dude, I met him through my man Fendi in FARROCK!!! Peace to EPMD

[young891]

Long Island All Day -

[mantagrae]

i kinda miss little subliminal beefs like that cause it was on some skill shit, u know...just on wax....even tho the epmd rakim shht wasn't serious....but nowadays niggaz wanna buck for nothing...they can't even take a magazine talking bad about their work...haaa....funny

[snakejohnson]

@mantagrae Yes. I missed those days when all brothers wanted to do was kill the other one with their words and trying to sound more intelligent.

[calvinjohnson05]

@mantagrae fuck beef.

[nuneswhite]

He's talking about someone in his click.I have a feeling it's P or Dre from Das.

[RecklezzDJisback]

damn Sermons voice sound spoken jus like he b rappin.. let him speak fast put a beat on it n u got a classic.. E Dub one of the best rappin producers if not THE best

[SDOevolve]

Man, Erick was dropping some gems here!!! A lil gay lip, but who am I to judge? lol Hip Hop pioneer and true living legend!
