As a youngen from the Midwest in the 90s, it was mandatory when somebody visited New York to bring a Funk Flux, DJ Camillo, Clue or Tony Touch tape back.
I'm 35 and to hear dj clue speak is answering all my questions. Math you definitely touching the inner core of shit!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 To have Dj Clue on here is fucking legendary.
In Philly my earliest memories of the Greek picnic involved the Clue tape..That "Flavor in your ear" Summer..still got my cassette tapes/Cds and I personally cant make a playlist for the whip till this day without a slew of Clue freestyles,he's a legend
You probably got it from my team. We were the first one pushing Clue in Philly retail and wholesale and got them before some NY stores. We supplied all the mom and pop record stores too. We used to be at his mom house the night before he dropped. Shouted out “Philly the Year 2000” store my homies had. We did the Greek, Black Family Reunion, Penn Relays, Odunde and Unity Day before the market got saturated and people started bootlegging. We had the original Clue tapes directly from him
@@ricolaw1033 I was living up Germantown around that time and I know 52nd street was like the mixtape mecca in Philly so y'all definitely fed the streets
@@northphillyp i had a airbrush stand in the gallery early 90’s selling Doo Wop, Kid Capri old school one and two and 52 beats first. Then. My homies started out on stands on The deuce and Chelten & Greene next to the Library. Then had a booth inside a jewelry store with some Russians. They left and rented the whole store to my homies. I had a spot inside a “empty” bags paraphernalia store on Germantown and Lehigh. Then my homie opened two stores on the deuce called Traxx R Us. 52nd & Irving. I mostly did wholesale to different stores. We ate heavy off Clue and other mixtape DJ’s for a minute
@@northphillyp yeah everybody and their mom jumped on the bandwagon. Hit the deuce heavy. First it was us and this dude from NY on 11th street between market & Samson
@@ricolaw1033 Hell yea I remember the stand in the Gallery,bootlegs was on fire back then,on all platforms,my personal favorite mixtape wasn't even a Clue jawn..it was a DJ Self Lox family joint..first time I heard Niggaz done started something
The company he talking about is Southwest Wholesale. The majors shut that down a while back. That's how so many southern rappers were millionaires before most heard of them. They pressed up everyone's cds and tapes back then. They were making so much money the majors pulled the strings and shut them down.
The Original HEADLOCK anyone believing they had it on lock *cough cough* DJ Drama is BUGGIN. DJ Clue made mixtapes what we know it to be today, mixtapes we’re doing crazy numbers them Clue came along and blew that shit outta this universe. EVERYONE after Clue owes Clue money for how Clue Made mixtapes where artist were broken, where artist figured out they can break new songs on mixtapes and it never make their albums. Clue, Clue, Clue, Clue, Clue‼️
They say drama was charging up to $10K to host your mixtape back then and he had a long line of artists trying to pay him in hopes of having the success TI Jeezy Gucci Wayne Plies and many more had huge success after getting a gangsta grills mixtape.
This channel needs to be at a million subs. I don’t watch any other channel when it comes to hip hop. Math, you killing it bro. Sky is the limit brother. God bless.
@@jennypotts2008 Earlier than that …..remember first hearing “it ain’t hard to tell” and all the Wu first album joints on clue tapes …and side two he would blend the instrumental …then play the song ……
Listen! These Clue tapes were the soundtracks to my HS life! Made the bus rides tolerable until I got my whip junior year (98 Honda Civic 😩) Memories man… Memories…
I Respect the fact that all the homies can have different insight, disagree and have their own opinions without the next man shooting his thoughts down because it doesn't coincide with the majorities view on the issue/topic of the day. That's REAL MAN SHIT. #SALUTEFROMSUNSETPARK
I dig that Kanye did a stem player. I feel like once you’re known, and are free of a contract, there’s only one way to go. How do you get your music directly to the consumer should be the only question. How do you integrate your bars into their everyday lives and minds appropriately? I have my ideas on how I want to do this myself lol
Show me the money 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 holiday holdup 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Heve E components pt 2 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 R&B just cruising 1 & 2 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The professional 1& 2 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Few of my favourites clue mixtapes.
Man we sold the hell out all those Clue mixtapes 📼 In S.C. 😂😂😂😂😂 Go listen to Nore, Cardan, Mase, Tragedy and Camron on RU-vid. Cam got busy on that track. That’s why I was shocked Jada murked them in that verzuz….
Remember back 2015 and under when Math was the #1 hated battle rapper, been following him since 07. Knew one day people would see the light him. He really rap for the realest.
I can relate to Esso my memory is a blur too but I thought can’t deny it was summer 01 & Super Woman was summer 03. 911 is easy to remember, the towers the blue print and fabolous sport all dropped that day. And summer 03 I can’t forget cause all the women that were in my life that year
I used to buy Clue tapes and Kay Slay tapes @ rfk stadium on the weekends at the farmers market on the weekends in the 2000’s and the early Dipset n G unit tapes
Clue is right i noticed that too if u get on RU-vid and try to pull up Jay-Z catalog it will only pull up some of it like he had the rest removed smh Billionaire Shit!
Yeah you can only find a few of his records on RU-vid, he’s not having it . You (might) find a Jay-Z cut on RU-vid if someone has it in a playlist 🤦🏽♀️😩🤔
Clue isn’t right about Heartbreaker though. Jay was never in the official video released of heartbreaker. I also don’t believe that Jay had much leverage over Mariah and her camp at the time. She gave him his first number 1. She was the biggest female act out at the time, of all genres, after a decade of chart domination.
@@anthonywhite2088 You probably just don't remember but there was another version of the Heartbreaker video with Jay in it sittin in a jacuzzi smokin a cigar
Idk. I love kiss. But jays version was & still is a summer classic. That beat was flawless. Jayz verse was impeccable & mya singing like that, in that NCAA skirt. Naaaaahhh Jay's version is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Clue tapes to me was the essence of this hip hop shit. I was a early 2000s clue Tape alumni. For me it started with The Professionals 1and 2 and then Stadium Series tapes to the other classics. I also peeped some of the 90s joints with the Mobb Deeps and Nas’ and such. An icon in rap.
