THE THOUGHT OF RAE & GHOST DOING THEIR BACK/FORTH STORYTELLING TO JANE
When E pointed out that he will specifically have Ghost do the usual J to the A to the N to the E breakdown I was like "damn this is why he's such a great producer". I visualized that ? like right away. -
Favorite rap group in the world is E.P.M.D. - Phife

Checked this out today. Man this was too dope. These interviews are so good. It's like listening to a song you don't want to end.
Another thing I took from this was the year 88. I hear so much about it. I wanna go and listen to the albums I never listened to from that time. -
this was dope i like hearing what the legends have to say .

Bruh... 88 was such a dope ass year for hip hop. Eric B and Rakim dropped Paid in Full in the summer of '87 and basically sent everyone back to the lab. That album completely changed everything about hip hop going forward from the way MC's rhymed to the way ? was produced, the imagery, everything.
In 88 the changes were evident: EPMD came with Strictly Business, Run DMC came back with "Tougher Than Leather, KRS One/BDP dropped By All Means Necessary, Lyte hit with Lyte As A Rock, Big Daddy Kane dropped Long Live the Kane, Biz Markie's "Goin Off" dropped early in '88, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" came out, Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions..." came out that summer as did Salt and Pepa's A Salt with a Deadly Pepa, "Straight Outta Compton" came out just before we all went back to school and Ice T's Power and Eazy E's Eazy-Duz-It came out right after we started classes, Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock killed the lunchroom with "It Takes 2", The Great Adventures of Slick Rick came out late in the year but still made it's mark, 2 Live Crew came back in a big way with Move Somethin', and on top of all of this Eric B and Rakim came right back with their second album "Follow The Leader".
Look at that list of albums right there. That represents some of the most critically acclaimed albums hip hop has ever had and that's not all of them dropped that year and on top of that most of them were released within a 3-4 month window from May through August of '88. The summer has NEVER had a better soundtrack when it comes to hip hop. There were other albums that dropped that simply added to the overall atmosphere like Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud 's "Girls I Got 'Em Locked", Chubb Rock's self titled album, King Tee's Act A Fool, Audio Two's What More Can I Say? and Steady B's Let The Hustler's Play.

I found that list while I was writing all of that. Look at that ? ... Look at the sheer diversity of it all. All that classic ? came out in '88. No not everyone had a big hit, but everyone contributed to making 88 the turning point in hip hop. -

Me too. But I was buying vinyl because I wanted to be a DJ -
king hassan wrote: »I was 15 in 1988 and had all these cassettes
that's what I'm sayin. I got my first job in the summer of '88 right after I turned 16. My first paycheck went to buying Eric B and Rakim's "Follow The Leader" on vinyl; I still have that album to this day.
Like you, I copped all that ? that year. My boy a couple of houses down the block got his license before I did and his moms had a Cutlass Calais. I swear the Delco systems in those GM N-body cars was made for ? 'cause we would roll out with them tapes in his moms ride bangin down the street especially off that NWA and Slick Rick ? . -

I was 5 but I remember that summer and fall like it was yesterday. Changed my life. -
Played the first kinda 15mins in the car today, Parish mad underrated imo... One thing that caught me was I think they said some dude named 'Haze' did their logo, was that the same Haze that done this classic???

i still have mine.
and i have my dual cassette player -
Finally watched this late last night. Refreshing to hear these two legends talk about how the game was & where it’s at now. Seeing them with CNN.. classic.

It's great to see EPMD getting this much love. All hope is not lost. LMAO
-
Dope interview, wish they would have talked about this song for a little bit though
https://youtu.be/xp09snLms5E -

I'm thinking the same thing. And what I like about their drink Champs is that they were not just bullshittung, they were dropping a lot of jewels we never knew about. And lmao at them building a car and still having it -
Great interview.
They weren't lying when they said 1988 was a GOAT year.
I saw the Runs House tour they were talking about. It was EPMD, Public Enemy, Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince and Run DMC. It was the summer of 88 at the Providence Civic Center. I was 14. It was my first time seeing a Hip Hop show at an arena.
I thought you was waaaay older. Who is your favorite new artists?
