Tonedeff - "120 Seconds of Fame" on Arsenio Hall Show

[LiteMoka]

sounds like will smith on meth thumbs up

[truthslap]

work of art. tonedeff was a genius even then, it's no wonder he's so far ahead of the listening curb. the sole reason he doesn't sell platinum records is the listening audience hasn't evolved enough.

[Krekket]

I have NEVER seen someone integrate the mario theme into something as cool as this...DAMN

[youR3tard]

he ripped it

[dudewhyfi]

love the humble outro - peace y'all, tonedeff, 93'

[TyonKree]

dope

[LastHopeOmid]

reminded me of FuSchnicks, looks like he does a tummy tuck at the end too haha :P

no but really Tonedeff amazes me

[JDev82]

his early delivery sounds like he mixed eminem and common

[hobo45t]

the reason he sounds different is because at the time all hip hop sounded like this. just listen to any old will smith records. as hip hop started to grow people started to make theyre own style and flow. tonedeff simply created his own style and a very very good one at that.

[nameless12345]

wwooo oold schhooll

[Apollothemyth]

I'm a really big Tonedeff fan, but I didn't like this for some reason.

[BabyBoiQue]

i know, i been a fan of his for a min. But this really didnt sound like "him" But he was just 16 at the time, so i guess he hadnt found his sound yet

[PoeticUnderstanding]

Gosh...I'm 17....wish i had chances to spit fire on stage and stuff....

[FreshFlyFella]

haha thats funny, it remineded me of a young will smith too

tonedeff is great

[arrowheadrs]

why does his voice remind me of will smith

[HipHopPolooza]

O_O 16 years old...WHAT am i doing with my life lol

[TheDTclan]

[jnubian731]

Hey, do have the per formance by a group called Simply Mystique? It was an acapella singing group consisting of 7 members (guys and girls) who were dressed in black. They sang "Spending time With You." I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know. One of my friends perforned that night. Thank You.

Tonedeff was still ill even at 16

[Rocafile]

I didnt know tonedeff been in da buisness way before 2000s

[musicalrapture]

matta fact, early 90s :)

[AllClassZero]

fail.

first release: The Monotone Ep circa 1997 or late 90s

[musicalrapture]

... check your facts.

Arsenio hall was before that. 93.

and plus, the first release is

Calligraphy at 1996 :)

[AllClassZero]

Dos Failos

Arsenio Hall not a release thus doesn't count

Calligraphy was The RBM crew not Tonedeffthus doesn't count

so

first release: The Monotone Ep circa 1997 or late 90s

[musicalrapture]

talking for yourself?

I was saying Tonedeff was in the biz since

the early nineties :)

You should learn English first.

"I didnt know tonedeff been in da buisness way before 2000s "

- Rocafile said.

[AllClassZero]

really has this turned to THAT old youtube horse of semantics...that was fast...well just a tip when telling someone they should learn english don't use a sentence that states:

"I didnt know tonedeff been in da buisness way before 2000s "

[musicalrapture]

I wasn't the one who typed that one up.

I was just referring to it as what I was

answering to ^^

(and it clearly didn't state anything about

releasing a debut album, Mr. Smarts.)

[Blake2OO7]

[MagnumEvolved]

Daycent! He put in the mario theme!
