my college roommate got his hands on some of their music and put me on. This was around '01 maybe. think he saw them or heard about him while spending time at Univ of Md. I messed with their sound a lot!

I really wanted that album from them on Interscope that Digital Underground was gonna produce.

They shot this video around my hood in the BX, especially in Haffen Park.

Imma have to rewatch the video, but them cats were not playing. One in particular was the grimiest dude I ever seen. When I was in HS he stayed in the park, doing pullups, drinkin 40s..regular hood shit. Had the nasty buck50 on his cheek i think...he was just the thug prototype.

i was shook.

**edit**

Actually, dude wasnt a rapper, he was part of the crew. hes the one who got himself thrown out the club during the last verse. and sure enough, here he is, like i said, in the park, drinking. fuck that dude.

"Real hip-hop heads" loved boasting about how they flipped the sample first AND better that was used for Dre's Next Episode, on their joint M.I.A. They never did put a full album out after that EP. And I don't believe Problemz or Black Attack ever put out solos either.

Apple Juice Kid (who played drums and did some production) went on to semi blow up. he did a DOPE remix album of miles davis. the dj was aight, but iono what happened to him.

The MC for Sankofa was kinda ABC with his rhymes but they were a tight group.

Gave us a run for our money when we played with them.

i ain't wanna be the one to say it. but he admitted when i interviewed them that he was kinda new to rhyming. still better than a lot of cats on the radio so i wasn't mad. and his flow was nice on suspended animation.

So that means, Azie was still getting it when he started recording music. Which also means that they were snitching on themselves on record, which kinda goes against the "Azie was the smart, super low key guy" mythology.

Have to admit I'm curious what they sound like given the nerdiness of the name. Are they similar to MC Paul Barman in that they are bookish and wordy?

...they were members.

They don't really sound anything like Paul Barman. Yeah, they were "nerdy", but their shit is definitely soulful. 9th Wonder did a beat for that. They basically founded the Jacksonville, Fl scene.

who the first two people you mentioned are. I'll give a listen to the link you provided since I was so dismissive from the jump, assuming I'll remember when I get home tonight.

They remind me of De La for some reason. The songs sounds pretty dated, but that's not their fault since I'm assuming these are fairly old songs you linked up.

I've thought about selling some of it on eBay, but can't part with it.

I sold a few tapes to help finance our move from MI to AZ and I reeeeeeally regret it.

I had a pristine copy of Kid Rock's single "You Don't Know Me", it fetched a pretty hefty sum.

The original Ichiban released version of Vanilla Ice's "Hooked" album brought in a good amount of loot

I sold a copy of Eric B and Rakim's "Let the Rhythm Hit Em" single, produced by DJ Mark the 45 King AND only recorded on one side of the tape sold for the most money.

Recently I was thinking of selling my copy of Cool C's "Life In The Ghetto" but I think I'll hold on to it. I have to be one of only a few people that actually went out and bought that joint and with his execution looming (though he was granted a second stay), I felt it in bad taste to sell it.

they were on one of the Terminator X albums or something right? Was a pretty hype song as I remember. Thought the album would be more like that. was greatly disappointed.

Protect Ya Neck records.

Never knew if they truly were or not.

Been had their 92-93 album for over 20 yrs now, but never lissened to it, no idea what they sound like.

I just know a rap group exists with that name.. lol

This was their most known single:

I Can't Believe It

Chubb's brother's (Rob Swinga) voice is dope too, but he wasn't saying anything.

I dig it because of the vintage Trackmasterz production and the guest verses by Chubb and Red Hot Lover Tone.

Dudes were visibly pissed, so the leader of the group (the dark skinned dude) made them do a dance routine to get the crowd's respect. It was kinda funny, but hey they were dancers anyway....

Let my love slide in and never slip out

>

I remember the Source reviewing their album, but I don't ever remember it hitting the stores. They weren't really respected as mcs, and their dance/choreography careers were popping, so I guess they gave up rap.

Let my love slide in and never slip out

Ten Thieves dropped two 12" with a total of three songs. Mop Tops just had that one 12" with two tracks. I think that's the most we ever got.

I remember the Source review, but I'm pretty sure it was for the "It Don't Matter" 12".

If it was recorded, it's never leaked. Which is strange.

I know most of them now from dancing.

Loved all their EPs and albums.

This is the only track I can find by them on youtube:

Insomnia 411 f/ Slug and Jean Grae
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w9Aztp_fvI

But their first album was the absolute shit. A personal favorite.

One of the favorite interviews I ever did was with them.

UB Style
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RweMkdLIj9k

Mail It Frosty (remix) (Used the Ice Ice Baby beat before Vanilla)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmnIWJO03Uc

My brother bought the tape 3 times because he would play it until the tape popped. I even copped the Sinister Mix (video version) of UB Style from Japan, just because. The B Side has the regular version of Take It To The Top (http://youtu.be/1ENpjxxBVjg), that just has the Funky Music Is The Thing break straight through

Classic in the video age.

were somehow okp affiliated, like maybe one of them posted in the lesson? this would have been iono 02, 03, something like that

from Hawaii i think?

and they had like overlapping crew names, or two names, or something, but one phrase that is coming to mind is 'gravedigga jones' or 'gravedigga johnson' or some shit like that lol

had a lot of harmonic buzzy sounds in their beats, like some early or pre sa-ra shit, or beats that sounded like they would be on samurai champloo if that makes any sense

i thought they were real dope at the time

only heard of em through okp

gravedigga jones and coffin ed johnson (duh im an idiot)

i was right they were okps and out of HI

not any kind of sa ra sound though, more 9th wonder maybe

still sound real dope for their lane at that time, but striking how far ive moved from that lane, would never listen today

Can't find any of their shit on youtube, but I swear they're real. I own the EP and everything. They even got reviewed in The Source. Some of the guys from Antipop Consortium might have been in the group.

Prime Suspects

Ghetto Commission

Gambino Family

Green and Gold (remix) featuring Eminem. One of his first guest appearances.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAJ61KQveVM

They were my homey's homey group in NYC. When I heard the name I told them it was a terrible name and no one browsing through a record shop would pick them up on the strength of the name.

There are promo copies of their album floating around just like World Renown's album. Just gotta catch it.

amazing album

Wonder what happened to these cats

Bosco money was as bad on the mic as adam Sever was good on the beats.

"Radioactive" and "Room 2 Breathe" were still my jams.

..they capture the vibe perfectly like a time capsule

I really tried to like this album, but after a few spins in the tape deck, I just couldn't do it.

Sam Sever's beats on that album were some of my favorite in '91 though. I pulled that tape back out that summer for "Room To Breathe", "This is a Visit", and a few others strictly for the beats.

"To Each His Reach"

inspired by my co-dj at my makossa parties
he played that one summer and i went nuts. i used to play that trendz album like crazy

Album had everything! The hardcore party starter, the jazzy laid back shit, the I get skins joints. And I just saw the mp3 is on Amazon for $5. I might have to cop it again....

The chorus went "rough, rough enough to puff, rough enough to puff the stuff, now bust me down bust me down"

Everything else was pretty much the same, not sure why they altered the hook.

Part of it is, from what I also understand, Ras can be difficult to get along with, given his own, um, "issues."

>Part of it is, from what I also understand, Ras can be

Please explain lol? What are his issues?

also they let Ras Kass get his ass beat at this O.C./Jeru concert (Unity) in L.A. in the late 90's.

They were trend hoppers. They were on that hyper semi-yelling shit their first LP and then flipped to some third tier Native Tongues shit their second LP. Don't get me wrong, they had some good material but that trend hopping rubbed me the wrong way.

was it "trend hopping" though, or just genuine maturation? I'll say its the latter, and it was well executed. you missed out brah

>

Nah it was trend hopping to me. They even worked with JD and not the one from Detroit. They were all over the place on that first record. Had I not heard that I could have rode with them more. We Run Things had me sold but that album was not the move.

Yeah, a lot of their first album sounds goofy in retrospect, but I'm chalking it up to youthful exuberance.

"Sit down, eat ya slice of pizza and be quiet!"

I been saying that shit to bugaboo mawfuggas, who always in my ear wit some bullshit, since I was in college.

My man was on some Wyclef Jean steez at the time and carried his guitar around a lot. We just finished doing some music at the crib and met up with some other friends at McDonalds. I pick up the guitar and start strumming the baseline to Deep Cover while we're in the parking lot. Everybody starts getting into it. Some others come out from Mc'Ds to watch. After a while, a wide bodied BMW pulls up and parks. It's Scorpio. He comes over and gets right in the cypha. He and my man go back and forth for a while. Totally random, but totally cool

Was looking forward to an album from them, I think they released four songs total.

Let my love slide in and never slip out

...after they disbanded.

I had both of their 12s. The one for "Unrational" and the "Into the Pit" 12" with No Slow Rollin and Mad At the World as the b-sides.

Chino was excessive with the shock value punchlines, but it still banged.

Stezo's homie, and the guy who was apparently the first person to sample the Skull Snaps beat, only to have it jacked and made into "It's My Turn."

Can't find it on YouTube, but the album got unearthed and reissued. Then he recorded another one in the late '00s.

I do know I've suspected they were talking about Hiero. Sorry can't confirm either way.

Man, this whole album is an underground Down South classic!

People thought he was gon be the next from N.O. to blow up, like Mystikal, but it seems like he just fell off the face of the earth.

He still pop up from time to time but he really shoulda been big off the strength of his first album.

Man, "Sicknahead" is incredibly slept on. Might be the best gangsta rap album released in '93. And one of the best ever.

Hell yeah! Dude was on Cube's second album, Pac's second album, Tha Liks debut, King Tee's third album, dropped his own solo, had a joint on the Friday soundtrack and then nothing. WTF happened?!

At least that's my understanding.

He also had that track on the DJ Pooh album that dropped in the late '90s that was dope.

Bay Area crew that recorded with Bootsy Collins after they got vic-ed by a Bootsy Collins imposter. That was a thing in the late '80s/early '90s.

Which is basically CCRs

But they were instrumental, and more jazz/funk instrumental. Not really a hip-hop group.

they had a track called Money, and when they performed they used to throw dolla bills out into the crowd.

i dunno if they count, they were more jazzy.

That's my main exposure to them.

Kinda reminded me of Mochael Franti/Spearhead..

It's OK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCPUkVHMsV8

Yes, ever. Ever ever. Ever.

All their albums were great. And so were all three or four of cap D's solo joints. Feels good to see that dude excelling outside the realm of hip-hop.

he had a buzz here few years ago but he's vanished since

That was the homie. Heard he was (possibly still is) Snoop Dogg's manager now.

was a Korean dude that was managing Snoop and some other west coast artists... COULD be the same Slant.

He brought out Vixen and Pizooz up to Philly at least once or twice while I was there.

Didn't know he was managing other LA artists too. That's def. interesting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aovy_VgFCF4

since he moved to BK, I heard like 5 people tell me they randomly see him in the street. One DJ who sells records on Broadway tells me he keeps Sadat X single up on the top of the crates because he heard he's around and he wants to get it signed lol

I loved a lot of shit he did. Just wasn't able to make much of a dent.
