Dare I do it?! I will. Here goes, instead of "so" I'll substitute still hot, so you can say I'm blazin'Or Luther Vandross says, yo I am "Sooooooo amazing, and I've been waiting" :D
when we were kids, i told my friend that when epmd went down into the sewer to shoot this video, das efx was already down there rapping.. and that's how epmd discovered das efx... i'm pretty sure he still believes it.
The employees of the year, yeah we're back to work I took time off, while all the rappers got jerked Due to the fact that they're whack and their tracks Have to go back and stack 'cause they lack The ingredients EPMD and Scratch for that Yo, I'm the hip-hopper, plus the show shocker Down with MD, yes the microphone doctor One wrecks, the other destroys And if you think that you're ready to mess (kill the noise) We don't play when it's time to slay I take a cut from my homey, yo, then I lay back and mack and all the rhymes I pack And wait for a sucker to jump and then attack Well, I'm known to be the master in the MC field No respect in eighty-seven, eighty-eight you kneel Cause I produce and get loose, when it's time to perform Wax a sucker like Mop & Glow (that's word born) Smacked a second time, but on a different assignment And do a sucker new jack who needs a rappin' alignment Cause I'm the cream of the crop when it's time to do a show Girlies on my jock for my dope intro As I glance at E-Double, kickin' microphone wrecker Turn on my cordless, sayin' mic checka To the ladies and all party goers Some call me freak, and others slow flower Brothers on my jock, for the way I hold a piece of steel So what you sayin'? So what you sayin'? Puttin heads to bed, straight out the box MC's, are jumpin' out shoes and socks I'm not playin', understand what I'm sayin' Catch a sucker in my way, and I'm slayin' Takin' no shorts, so I'm vital sign You can tell by my lines that I'm gettin' mines in eighty-nine, because I'm fine as wine Sit back and recline, watch the sun shine Take a stroll, listen to rock and roll Catch a flick at the movies, dance a bowl What I chose I refuse to slack while I'm back I take a chance jack, so I must attack With knick knack paddywack so I won't lack Oh my style is def, and as deadly as crack While I'm slayin' must explain, a sucker is the lame Battle in the trenches where the funky be playin' Cause with a partner like E Double don't come a dime a dozen A kin not blood related, but you can call us cousins Cause as we climb the charts, better known as statistics Brothers on my jock while I'm kickin' ballistics Droppin' hits like I'm Housin', You Gots Ta Chill, and more The proof is in the pudding (yo check the Billboard) People round town talkin' this and that Of how we sound like the R, and our music was wack Dropped the album Strictly Business and you thought we was bold Thirty days later, the LP went gold So what you sayin' So what you sayin' Now party people it's time for the exquisite No knock knock who that over there or who is it It's the E-R-I-C-K, yes the Boy Wonder No fouls no bleeps no bloops or no blunders So hot, so you can say I'm blazin' Or Luther Vandross says, yo I am "So amazing, and I've been waiting" For a sucker to attack yo me the E-Double Cuz me and PMD is like the funky fresh couple I fight fire with fire, that's why most retired And when we needed a piss boy, you was hired Cause you was Memorex, for that style that we was bringin' In an all out battle, P comes out swingin' Cause I'm just that type of brother that's out to get mines And if the odds against me, I still drop lines and get mines on time that's why most resign Sit in my LazyBoy chair, relax my head and recline Sip a Pepsi or Coke, with a twist of lime Or crack a forty-oh, and then I go for mine So what you sayin' So what you sayin'
Fishing for enrichment, in this new wave of invention, never a slave, I rise to the page I envisioned, and carve a new niche in, you can flow with the current or keep beef in the kitchen, play chicken and run your headlights, you're about as itching for drama as a palm of head lice,
I have listened to this song many hundreds of times in my life. At this point it is a part of my family. From my silver sony boom box to my Galaxy s20 plus, its always been with me. EPMD fo life!
"Now wouldn't that be fair...Do you think she would care?" Soul II Soul, 'nuff respect!!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ccW_YiZJ1pA.html
One of the ALL TIME great JEEP jams. JEEP because back when it was hot you heard it in the JEEPS. After a while dudes would go get their sound systems adjusted just so a song like this (and yeah LL Cool J's whole "Mama Said Knock You Out" was MADE for that kind of rumble in the jungle). Young people, you have NO IDEA how good Hip-Hop was. In some aspects it has moments. But back during these 80s, 90s....it was EVERYTHING. Sit back and let this just play. It IS a loop but it is WELL DONE musically. LISTEN.
Timeless Classic- Still banging in 2017!! if you listen to this for more that 30 seconds and your body don't get to swayin - you're soulless and either dead or dead inside. IJS
Dirty Red from Chi Raq. getta 8th of this cause a 10th might kill ya!!! I could tamper wit da timeline & blow it off the axis: & out mack u newjack nigkaz backwards: & run a reverse rhyme: wit no rehearse time: & crack a nigka cranium in da first line: cause if da havoc hit: I get tragic quick: & start to make shit disappear lika majic trick: & watch a nigka's brain's blow: wit da same flow: Bang know: da majic word's (PRESTO CHANGE--O)""" 360 wit it.
Still sporting prestos in the diamond districts playing with leaches and niggaz on features that still still stash cash in sneakers playing ur weakness
Trust me your right. But I'm from Toronto and we were known for being the sister city to New York City we knew. Best beat ever and I'm a dancer that loved this song growing up watching Fendi do his thang.
EPMD blew up because their sound wasn’t full on NYC! They were willing to jump into that new west coast sound. This ain’t no “boom bap” this is some pioneer ish!
heard this LIVE when they rocked Melb Australia 2012....twas possibly the fattest beat I have ever experienced...it consumed the venue... I actually didn't recognize it for a few seconds - coz it was playing SO DAMN THUMPIN
time is tempest, check my temper, the temperature is being bested, this is message bored, drill into the floor boards being measured by scores of my labor being questioned, this is passive aggressive, not actual edges, still cutting clean like a lean from a brick that is the tetris, I'm not a player, but stuck in the game, you can't explain why I drain the competition from hope that they're the freshest, I'm not impressed, but invested to bring change like a new day in the trenches, digging deep, that's soul you can't amount to, that's why they call for shovels when they huddle like mounds do, you were looking for real rap, you're lucky I found you, I'm not Hammer, but I hit the beat like a pound do, like a ton of weight, for this I wait as I bring the beat that can undulate...
great loop. still smashes 90% of the new stuff with the instrumental alone. i doubt people will be rocking little wayne,drake,soldier boy etc 20 years from now. see you in 2031.
@panavision09 Wow that’s crazy to even think about! Never thought even back than that I’d still be banging this beat out my speakers like it was 88!…in 2021!!! But I LOOOVE THE TECHNOLOGY to be able to do so!
@@realmczappa your right. I don't let why I wrote knee deep. Parliament/Funkadelic is my all time favorite group. I know practically all there hits from 1974 or 75. Thanks for the correction 💯
Shit back when hip hop still had beats….rappers these days wouldn’t know what to do with a beat like this…the mainstream 1’s,the underground always holds it down 🖤🎼🥶
Telling this generation what is a emcee or a poet is like convincing someone that is an theologian that ancient paleo hebrew had existed before Yiddish modern hebrew
Talented sampled from Funkadelic's song:OneNation...(chorus).and.sampled from BT Express:If It Dont Turn You on(guitar)...Sampled from Soul ii Soul:Fair Play( the beat wrythm)
Toss da game to ma bro like a flee flick Boi I'm all about my chips like Rotel dip This not written Just off the dome shit So steal it if u want I just go and drop some more shit Like birds Stand clear when I drop shit Cause if you never was shit You aint goin be shit I go hard in da paint wacka flock shit Motumbo on the block you won't drive shit Blowin Forest green with orange hairs on some heathcliff shit
Now that's Really Real Talk! Or, they might fall on their faces gasping for air stemming from anxiety because the pressure of ripping on this track might be to much for them😳👀😥😰💩🏃. But that's just mine thought
