'88 is one best years in hiphop in terms of production,creativity, and flow. Philly had the one of the best years ever. they had the best DJs in Jazzy Jeff,and Cash Money.All the rap albums that year were outstanding! My high school years.
@howvin32 Only the true hip-hop heads would know that.....1987 & 1988 were the best years. U had to be creative & dope to exist during that time, lollie pop music wasn't allowed. [ Eric B & Rakim, Big daddy kane, BDP, Ice-T, EPMD, Doug E Fresh, M.C. Lyte, NWA, Slick Rick, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Biz Markie, Too Short, Jazzy Jeff and the fresh prince, Salt & pepa, M.C. Hammer ] Damn the list goes on everybody had a hot record in 87-88.
woody wood most under rated dj that ever came out of philly I remember when me and my partner paul aka sir love god rest his soul would go up to hunting park from north philly to make mix tapes along with mc master mind but of course this was before the fame wood if you are reading this hollar at your boy mc hi-c I'm now living in Brooklyn Ny
I'm surprised he never went forward to produce. I can understand tho because hip-hop went from skill-set art to anybody with a sampler in their basement can write something.
These cats & PRT were the hottest from the Philly South Jersey route 1 corridor area.
Hell, yeah---I loved this song back in the day---played it on the college radio station I volunteered at---there were NO stations that played regular hardcore rap except for the college station,period--hell,there wasn't even an R&B or jazz station--I was like what the hell--this was in Northern Michigan in 1989.
blackmale78 I'm wit ya shout out to 6th and luray, courtland, ansbury, and 8th street. wat up from jimmy john keep bust'n ryhmes. Our soul is on the street. peace.., jj
blackmale78 i'm wit ya shout out to 6th and luray courtland,ansbury,8th and all the old friends from the early eighties wat up it jimmy john oeace out. keep bust'n dem ryhmes. soul starts on the street peace.
I've got the Single, E.P, an LP on Promo Big up Philly they alway's hav rep hard I heard they shut down the new music seminar 2 years straight bac in da day
DAMN,DAMN,DAMN!!! Oh my goodnutts, this was my shit back in the day. Man ole skool rap outweighs new skool 4eva. I guess if I was a 80's or 90's baby, I would be limited to what was real hip hop too!
Stand up Philly for one of your own. Mad props to 3x Dope, Steady B/D.J. Tat $,D.J. Jazzy Jeff/Fresh Prince,Skooly D, Larry Lar, Maja Figgas,Beans,Freeway,Eve,Tyriq (of the dopest group alive.....da Roots). Keep reppin that Illadel 215 ish, while thoes that aint' knowing keep sleeping. One!
Everyone on here is forgettin' that Chuck Nice did all of these beats. He was one of the most underrated producers of that time. Just like Steady was. Although Steady and Cool C did the dummy move...and tried to rob a bank for some dividends...DONT SMOKE OFF YOUR MONEY!!!!
THIS IS A PHILLY / HIP HOP CLASSIC ...I really thought these catz were dope az hell .... that damn Mgmt company screwed them / Steady B / Cool C ... these guys didnt get the status they deserved .... 3 dope azz bros ( EST - Woody Wood - Chuck Nice ) .... reunite fellaz ........
the "reunite" comment was for 3XDope ... not Steady & Cool C ... those niggaz did that stupid shit & gets what the law says they deserved .... THREE TIMES DOPE REUNITE !!! ( is that clearer ??? ) ..
jus like u ppl need ur coffee in tha mornin, lol, this song iz a classic fa'sho. and tru @ neec1427, they had like a couple cd'z or should i say cassettez, lol, great song tho
in my hood the guns did go off. Either you got robbed of your door knockers, 3 finger rings, rope chain. I did not put up a fight just like here man just take the shit. I work summer youth again next year. lol
hes too good to be true.......that shit rollin.
