Das EFX was huge back then in 92. They changed the way MCs rapped. They were one of the top groups out at that time. Everyone was trying to rhyme like them. They were apart of Epmd's super group called the hit squad. That "witty" rhyme style influenced a lot of rappers back then.
You Definitely got to React to Their Biggest Hit "We want EFX" That Song took over the Whole Hip-hop world When it came out. I don't know Who would Request This Song to be your first intro To Das EFX but they Dropped the Ball. "We Want EFX" Should be your first reaction to This Group.
Crazy Drazy and Skoob are from Brooklyn NY and Tea Neck, N Jersey....Got discovered and signed by Parrish/ PMD of EPMD at a talent show at Virginia State University....they came in 2nd place at the show... LMAO...I wonder who won, and imagine telling that story to people...."We beat Das EFX at the talent show and won a stereo....they got a record deal".....
Das we're true MCs. This was ther era where your style, delivery, cadence and all that mattered. Das got a deal from EPMD. They came in 2nd at a contest. The winners(whoever they are) got the prize money but Das got a deal. Shows how nice they were. One of them is from Brooklyn the other is a Jamaican from Virginia. Obviously they repped for Brooklyn. Back then rap battles in the street was heavy. You could find a cypher with 100 or more dudes all the time anywhere in NY. Dudes did NOT want to battle them. They were destroyers of men. This is what BARS supposed to sound like
YES SIR >> Das EFX are the Rappers who brought Fast Spitten Rap into Light. They Created It. Which was one of their tools that gave them success. Before them There Was NO Such Thing as Turbo Rapping. PIONEERS!
DAS EFX IS FROM NY , BUT, THERE WAS A TIME WHERE THEY LABELED THIS UNDERGROUND RAP. I WANT TO SAY THAT NONE OF THE NEWER “RAP” ARTIST” CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO MY OLD-SCHOOL MC’S.. GET IT!!!
Some of the most exquisite Das EFX songs for your reccommendation: Microphone Master (ft. mobb deep) (You'll got to search for the dirty version) Jussumen (Pete Rock Remix) 40 & a Blunt Rap Scholar Alright Kaught in da AK (DJ Premier Remix) My favourite rap duo to this day, their flow is just something else. Have a good one!
This is an interesting introduction to Das Efx. Of all their singles, this was not the best🙈 I appreciate your willingness to listen to all types of music. Something I never said before. Kudos again on the growth of your channel 🙌🏾🔥

My favorite from them is "REAL HIP HOP" but it's the beat that got me. That beat KNOCKS!!! 🔥 I think one of the members was an English major in university. I was like...why talk like that if he knows how to speak properly?😂
Diggy Das! These diminutive cats were straight from the sewer. Steelo and vernacular filthy as Flint, MI water. Before rap morphed to Hit-Pop. In my 50s and still do the fitness to their ruckus. #RealHipHop #NoDiggety #MicrophoneMasters #RapScholars
