[seahall1990]

4 my old skool high school people.

[CaliMicCheck]

So Dope! First heard this song when I visited Hawthorne, CA, back in the 80s and was blown away.  My grandparents neighbor happened to be a DJ, and he told me to peep this track. "Word of mouth" was the way to hear bout new Hip Hop tracks back in the day.

[cheetie72]

FUCKING CLASSIC!

[godsangelicaforces]

this was a jam in the bay area and still is.

[EvilFingers]

Now this is the Old Skool Hip Hop I listen to, not that New Skool Bullshit nowadays!!

[ComptonCJ]

Rest In Peace Mix Master Spade...

[LALAKERFACE]

"HONEY BOOM".....I remember bitches used to say that shit all tha time back then

[garyomason]

This was hot in Oakland when it came out

[eastwestlover]

my homies had their pad batterammed man.

[stewbediot]

lol ive been listening to rap since about 1980 and let me tell you easy whatever e wasnt the first anything except the first big rapper to die of aids by the way toddy-t was the man

[RealRapMusic187]

@stewbediot And May I Add, Eazy-E Was One of the very few Gangster rappers that were actually Real Gangsters.

[stewbediot]

lol ive been listening to rap since about 1980 and let me tell you easy whatever e wasnt the first anything except the first big rapper to die of aids

[RealRapMusic187]

@stewbediot He wasnt the first Gangster rapper, thats why they called him "The Late Great Eazy-E" But If it wasnt for Eazy-E gangster wouldnt have been anything. He pioneered Gangster Rap & Founded NWA.

So If It wasnt For Eazy-E The Westcoast & Gangster Rap Wouldnt be anything, You know why? If it wasnt for Eazy-E there would be no Dre Which means No Deathrow Records..(No tupac, no snoop, no dogg pound...or any other deathrow artist) Gangster rap was nothing without Eazy-E.

[keithramer123]

@RealRapMusic187 I wouldn't say that if there was no Eazy-E there would be no Dr. Dre, he still would have made a name for himself and as for 2Pac and most of the other Death Row rappers they still would have been in a new record company or on there own deal just like Dre had done. I'm not defending anyone or picking sids but I wouldn't consider Eric Wright a pioneer, that term better suit Ice-T, Scholly-D (etc.)

[RealRapMusic187]

@keithramer123 Man..Dre was a gay dj in a club and a member of the "World class wreckin cru". Tupac hung around NWA in the early days which inspired him to stick with rapping. Most Deathrow artists & Gangster rappers in general where inspired by Eazy-E & NWA. And yeah, Ice-T, Sholly-D (etc.) Kept gangster rap going at a struggle but as soon as Eazy-E came on the scene it was Gangster Rap Worldwide Everyone was listening to Eazy-Duz-It. Say what you want but thats my opinion. Rip Eazy.

[keithramer123]

@RealRapMusic187 Just because Dr. Dre was in the Cru and made electro music doesn't make him gay. Electro hip-hop was very popular in the early-to-mid 80s and artists were still afraid to go outside of the boundaries until late 85. So its expectable that Dre would be producing like that for World Class because he was/is an amazing DJ. Eazy was a huge part of the Gangsta movement and popularization but when it all comes down to it it doesn't matter who was a real gangster but who started it.

[ridingwood]

teddy tee is credited being the the first gangsta rapper in LA back in '85

[elyeah13]

@ridingwood eazy e was

[ridingwood]

@elyeah13 eazy e didnt even rap in 85, he began in 87 dumbass retard

[elyeah13]

@ridingwood fuck you punk you were still in diapers sucking on mommys tits in 85 retard!!!

[ridingwood]

@elyeah13 Hmmm okay but Toddy Tee was doing some gangsta shit way before eazy e did, go to school and try to learn something

[elyeah13]

@ridingwood you fucking retard they dont teach this shit in school dumb ass NWA were the first rappers like i said you were probably not born or were in diapers ?how would you know./? cause some one told you??

[ridingwood]

@elyeah13 Hmm it doesnt get better , now you say they were the first (gangsta) rapper!? what about Schoolly D, KRS-One, ??

[elyeah13]

@ridingwood son you were saying toddy t was the first rapper and i told you eazy e was way back when he was from nwa now your coming up with other rappers that came after him like i said dont belive every thing you see on tv you were just a baby back then i grew up with this music now end of story

[RealRapMusic187]

@ridingwood He didnt start in 87...He started in 86. And So Did NWA.

[droker3121]

Where the hell did this song go??? This is a bad ass clasic!

But the national guard were creeping right behind the batter ram as it was coming down the street. They had M16's in there hand. I was about 7 years old. I am 31 now! You can't stop the batterram!!

[TheTMoney87]

@moshesh damn man do they still use these

[JimLos]

[jflores949]

man i grew up with this jam, 1580AM KDAY forever. i still have tons of tapes i recorded with live KDAY performances at my parents pad

[cswaters]

I seen this bad boy rip holes in houses. Chief Gates was an ass,He did try to get that dope out of our communities, and was somewhat successful. On the other hand, the real KDAY was da bomb Mc's told true real life stories and KDAY was the place. Toddy Tee also had a street mix tape that was off the chain. check out NAS latest Sly Fox.

[misterruffin]

Do you got that mix tape homie?

[cswaters]

Dawg,I wish I had a copy, that shit real.

1580 KDAY. K. D. A. Y. What they know bout Russ Par? Compton fa life. Straight Hubbin homie.

[MarcTheHitMaker]

Aka bobby Jimmy & the critters. Russ is still doing his thing out here in D.C. now. It's a trip, I listened to russ on KDAY back in the day in L.A., moved to the east coast, and still listen to Russ on WKYS.

[himmaggin]

I heard that fam. Remember "Whack it or Track it" from back in the days?

You got to have cash to make it these days....

I used to buy Mix Master Spade tapes from the Bullis side of the Compton Swap Meet and Daddy V tapes too. He used to kick it in my old hood on Spring Street in the dead end with my folks Marcus Kemp.

Peace family

[creepsomber]

Whoa. I remember all of that, listened to KDAY everyday, also listened to KPWR106 (POWER106) but not as much. What a trip! Remember the late night saturday mixmaster show on KDAY?

[himmaggin]

I used to tape songs off this station with a real live tape player. Not a boom box but a tape player with no radio or nothin. Remember KJLH and KGFJ? They used to be in Compton off Palmer and Willowbrook on the weekends by the Metro station back in the days.

Peace family
