I remember when It's My Thang/You're a Customer single came out it was like "damn, who are these cats?" It's my Thang was dope but when the album came out and I heard THIS SHIT I lost it.
In the 80's -Oh man we use to stay up all night long listening to EPMD and ERIC B. & RAKIM. PUBLIC ENEMY AND SO MANY OTHERS -GOOOOOOOOD TIIIIIIIIIIIIMES.- PEACE
you sniff blow? hell no. got my whole life ahead of me no time to be sniffing. my parents find out, then they start riffing. I stay a-ok. cuz im the e. the r-i-c-k.
Im big on hip-hop from all ages, but I somehow always overlooked these guys. I always knew Erick was a real dope producer from everything he did with Redman and others but I never realized what he did with this other guy as EPMD. This stuff is crazy good
"You sniff blow? Hell no! Have my whole life ahead of me no time to be sniffin, my parents find out then they start riffin.
So I stay A-Ok cause I'm the E. the R. I. C. K. " Still got ya whole life ahead of you, 42 years old is young. Take care of yourself E and get well, you still got alot more living to do Baby!!!
@fanofprotopic what ISN'T creative about that? They sampled an Eric Clapton track (essentially garbage) and made an awesome tune with it. By the way, Bob Marley wrote I shot the sheriff, NOT Eric Clapton, though the sample used in this song is from Clapton's version. Not saying you didn't already know this but just thought I'd throw that out there
the fact that they changed a progessive eric clapton song and made it loop perfectly, created a complicated but dancable drum pattern and put together some amazing verses for 1988. but honestly who cares hip hop doesnt have to be complicated or sound hard to make to be good as long as you can head nod and have fun they've succeeded in making a great track regardless of its origin
yo peep this, sucka new jacks, if you dont know the history of the mighty EPMD dont try to school people because you might cause confusion. EPMD = Erick & Parrish Making Dollars. Parrish is the Mic Doc. E-Double aint the Mic Doc, he's the Green Eyed Bandit, MC Grand Royal, etc.
onna my favorite east coast groups, I was 19 when this song came out and I still love it & EPMD 20yrs later.. hip/hop/rap nowadays I rarely listen too.....
IRONY. Suckas (male) are trying to profit off of life-time legends. Fine. Making money is American. Just expose yourselves to scrutiny. Bitches choose panties, while men STOMP, in boxers. Choose jeans. ALL Business!
If you write down their lyrics, it doesn't look like anything special. Then you listen and realize that similarly to jazz, it's the singer, not the song. These guys have a laid-back attitude and flow. Nothing quite like it.
I woke up this morning fiending to hear some EPMD....this shit is knocking as hard as it was the first time i heard it as well as the million times i've played it since then...
