Saafir 1994 interview part 1

[legendarilyrefined]

Saafir is a vastly underrated emcee. I remember first learning about him through his features on "Come Widdit" with Ahmad & Ras Kass and Sway & King Tech's "Wakeup Show Anthem '94", although I didn't get put onto either until some years after they dropped. I still bump "Can-U-Feel-Me" hard from his first album. The multisyllabic rhyming styles of cats like Eminem & Jay-Z were heavily influenced by Pharoahe Monch (Organized Konfusion) & Saafir who pioneered the technique.

DOPE!



[hapz3000]

when i heard box car sessions i would never had imagined that people was giving him a hard time about being off beat.. that was a good album when it first dropped

[MrPatnah]

o.g VF in the back

[nslaven]

HEY GUESS WHO ELSE FELL THE FUCK OFF SAAFIR! YOU!

[infinitycrops]

Lyrics sound interesting and somewhat intellectual on the album (Boxcar Sessions)........ but he sounds like a complete idiot during these interviews LOL. I think I like his studio-persona better than this one

[snubbs741]

@infinitycrops 5:15-6:00 doesnt sound too much like a idiot there

[ticklefist]

@infinitycrops

I think you're confusing looking like an idiot with simply being distracted. They were on a busy street with and his attention did seem to jump around a bit.

what the fuck?

saafir and pac were homies i thought?

[farisz90]

@Redrizzle187 Saafir was always hating on Pac. Casual from hieroglyphics said that saafir used to talk a lot of shit about pac. He also dissed snoop

[Redrizzle187]

@farisz90 really but i remember that otha interview where he said he lived with pac and how pac gave him clothes like brotha and all that whopty whoop.

when did casual say that?what about snnop?whats his problem with snoop?

[farisz90]

@Redrizzle187 He said some shit like you gonna get whooped like snoop in the hieroglyphics battle. Far as casual search casual interview dubcnn

[Redrizzle187]

@farisz90 snoop battled hieroglyphics?

[farisz90]

@Redrizzle187 Nah saafir and his crew battled hieroglyphics

[Redrizzle187]

@farisz90 who is his crew?

you said "like snoop in the hieroglyphics battle" thats why i thought there was a battle between them.

[farisz90]

@Redrizzle187 Saafirs crew is called Hobo junction. They had a battle on the wake up show with hieroglyphics ( del the funky homosapien crew). I said that he dissed snoop in that battle. Not that hieroglyphics battled snoop

[Redrizzle187]

@farisz90 what did he say>>>>>?

[farisz90]

@Redrizzle187 He said some shit like you gonna get whooped like snoop

[Redrizzle187]

@farisz90 and when snoop got whooped?

[farisz90]

@Redrizzle187 I dont know if snoop got whooped. That is something saafir said

[hapz3000]

@Redrizzle187 jayo felony pushed snoop into a swimming pool around this time

[soln4suhreborn]

@farisz90 Saafir said something in that battle about Snupe (from Extra Prolific/Hieroglyphics) getting whooped by Keith Murray and his crew at the Jive records showcase. I don't know if y'all thought he was talking about Snoop (Dogg) or not but it would make sense that Saafir would diss Snupe since he was Hiero. He was probably there at the battle so that's why he took a shot at him just like he did Tajai.

this dude is to real to be in the rap game

[jcextra]

and he has been doing exactly that, keepin it real, since he made this interview and he tried to promote the Bay area

[ProjectAA]

Boxcar Sessions is a seriously underrated masterpiece, saafir should return to his original baroque rhyme style. He was doin' it before cats like aesop rock, recognize!

[eslubin]

@ProjectAA baroque? you got to explain that one

[KumaOdense]

Boxcar Sessions. Underrated shit!

1994 Saafir - That's West Coast Tru School to the fullest.
