Today’s feature is a rap group that had legendary pedigree, timing, opportunity and most importantly talent to be one of the names back in the 90s when it came to young rap prodigies making a name for themselves in hip hop music, along with Kris Kross, Another Bad Creation and Illegal. All early 90s Teeny Bop rap groups that came out around that time and made pubescent rap one of the popular trends seeing as this was the first time hip hop had seen multiple kid groups blow in in their own rite. They released their debut single “Pass Da Mic” in 92, bringing a more street side to the kiddie bop pool, where groups like ABC and Kris Kross focused more on radio hits and catchy singles they could market to the world as the next trend. I’ve always felt kids groups and prodigies always have the chance to be hit or miss because so much factors go in to whether that group or artist makes it or not. Da Youngsters are the perfect example of how that path plays out, and how difficult it is to have success in that space and transition into something that works when the shock of kids being grown wears off. If nothing else they had as great a chance as any to blow up into the best kiddie rap prodigies of the 90s. Did Kris Kross Steal DA YOUNGSTA'S Motion? What Happened? Stunted Growth Music

He f^^% up his own solo career with that bs move. Whereas Jamal debut solo is classic af
@therealtoreal
@therealtoreal Год назад
@Diane V OK, first of all how many kid artists or let me say young artists( under 21) who are on a label (Rowdy records Dallas Austin's Label) which was through Arista would let an artist at that time pick whatever the F they want as a first single? Especially as a debut album that they would like to release. They will always go with the radio friendly record. Look at Biggie he was forced by Diddy to go with Juicy. 2nd Jamal's album was not a classic, only you and him believe that. It totally flopped and he never dropped again. Malik eventually came out and that was it, but out of the two he was the most sought out featured artist.

Thank you for this one Da Youngsta's were definitely one of my favorites, because they were the first rappers my age. Im a old head - soon to be 44, so I was 12 when Somethin' 4 Da Youngstas came out. The title track was actually the first single - it didn't chart at all. I think that was their 1st big stunt - they picked a bad song as the 1st single - and Somethin 4 da Youngstas' 1st single came out in 1991 - MONTHS before Kris Kross fyi - but it was cheesy. They should have lead with that Pass Da Mic Pete Rock joint - way more up tempo. Not that it would have mattered because Kriss Kross 1st album was so much better. Ironically, Da Youngstas were vastly superior on their next two albums - but they never made that radio smash. Crewz Pop though was CLASSIC!! That joint everybody used to sing the hook to in high school if you were a "real" hip hop head - because KK was corny to us by album 2. Da Youngstas actually had more staying power since they wrote their own rhymes, and Qball even started producing a lot of their tracks towards the end. I am probably one of the 20 thousand other people that actually bought their last Two albums lol. No Label knew how to market a hardcore 16 year old group - Ask Mobb Deep (Their 1st album also got BURRIED by Kriss Kross in 1992 - Juvenile Hell) as they were also lumped in the Kiddie rap genre too (and rocking bald Heads like DA Youngstas lol). It was just TOO MANY kid groups then.

@9:10 YOU ARE INCORRECT! The hit single from Da Youngsta's 2nd album, "The Aftermath" was "CREWS POP". I know because I was a teenager and that song was constantly on TV and Radio for months when it was released. Also you are incorrect about the 3rd album from Da Youngstas "No Mercy" which had a huge summer hit with "Hip Hop Ride" and the follow up single "Mad Props". I am thinking you rushed this video. I was in NYC and I was a teen at the time. Da Youngstas made much noise when they dropped their 2nd & 3rd albums. Only problem was listening to "Crews Pop" you could tell Treach of Naughty By Nature wrote the entire song. Treach's flow and writing style is unmistakable.

Anotha Level consisted of members Bambino, Ced Twice, Stenge, Stones and Stix. Anotha Level was affiliated with alternative WestCoast Hip-Hop group The Far Side (formerly called The Pharcyde) and legendary WestCoast artist and film director Ice Cube. Anotha Level did have a hard to find follow up album in 2011 called Back To The Future. Unfortunately Anotha Level member Stix passed away in July 2011.

Nice video. I like the exclusive clip at the intro. Da Youngsta's dropped albums during my Fr, So, & Sr years of HS I liked with all their albums then & still have a few of the tracks in my playlist. I agree the rise of Kriss Kross was a big factor in Da Youngsta's stunted growth, but the change of styles from the debut album to the darker themes of The Aftermath album made them seem inauthentic. I feel they hit their stride on No Mercy & were on the cusp of securing a core audience. If EastWest released the "Reality" single, in those days 3 solid singles boosted record sales.

Okay so you want to know about the youngsters but first of all you got part of it right but there's a bit of information that you don't know I write these youngsters these young men were not able or capable of pursuing a record career they look like little kids stealing and robbing you know negative energy there's a interview with Dallas Austin about the youngsters if you just take a look at the interview with Dallas Austin and The Roots podcast

Da Youngsta's DEFINITELY came out AFTER Kriss Kross + were on a MUCH lower-level than them too. While, KK were performing on "The Arsenio Hall Show" & "In Living Colour", Da Youngsta's did the same, but AFTER the fact

False....He got the 1st single wrong. "Somthin 4 da youngstas" was the 1st single, and it came out in 1991 - Months before Kriss Kross album came out. The 1st single did nothing though. I loved it though because it used to come on the Box lol. They were My age and were "realer" than KK. But Jump was an undeniable smash, you easily forgot about their album after KK hit. They had bad timing. They should have led with Pass Da Mic instead of Somethin 4 Da Youngstas (Up Tempo Tracks ALWAYS are how you want to enter the game). KK had HITS, Da Youngstas was on some underground ish from day one.

@@DaFactsNoNonsense1713 Da Youngstas released their first single way before Kris kross even existed. They were competing against Another Bad Creation during that time. Thats why their 1st video was corny af!!!!!!!!! I recorded that bs off The Box. Kris Kross didnt have a video on The Box in 1991. WTF are you talking about??? F^^^ Right On!!!!! They only had successful artists in that magazine. Not upcoming motherf&^^ who werent on the charts. Da Youngesta's image changed with the Pass Da Mic Remix video. Because they were being marketed against Kris Kross in 1992.. You dont know wtf you are talking about/

Da Youngsta's are the best teen Hip-Hop Group of all time! They were better than Kris Kross, ABC, Quo, Illegal & Mobb Deep (1993's version, that is) But Gangsta Rap was taking over & if you wasn't Gangsta or Thuggin', your records wasn't doing nothing! While they never moved major units, they still get their legendary Hip-Hop respect!
