FIRST TIME HEARING Group Home - Livin' Proof REVIEW 

Malachi the Nutcracker was a boxer who became a rapper to avoid jail after a judge made Primo put him in music because Premier came to speak for him at his trial. He lived on Premier block and was down with them but had never really rapped and didn't want to. Still made a classic album.

That whole Livin' Proof album is worth reviewing for the production alone. Preemo's most acclaimed work ever!

Premier also produced first two well known Jeru the Damaja albums. (1994 and 1996)

🔥 🔥 🔥 Classic!

Finally! Lol But you should have started with “supastar” by group home. Premier best beat arguably. Lil dap and Malachi the nutcracker sound grimy over the beats. PREEMO THE 🐐

Lil' Dap and Melachi the Nutcracker are Group Home. I think the '86 reference in this song is from Lil' Dap's personal history. Perhaps some of the references are about the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, part of the "War on Drugs?" I really enjoy your channel, it feels like we're sharing the experience of when I first heard these songs, probably when I was your age. Keep it up, and much respect!

Divine sounds what people do for money.word up son

Son unos X18TINDER.Uno de los mejores conciertos ❤️ Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla 3, se que estuvou sorprendente...

This whole album is classic you gotta do Group Home- Supastar next the beat is amazing..'84-'90 was the height of the crack era

Those Inspectah Deck samples are straight 🔥 the whole album is dope

Lil Dap and Melachi the nutcracker. They are part of the Gangstarr foundation which consists of Group Home, Big Shug, Jeru the Damaja

New York Hip Hop during the mid 90s was just stupid. Group Home, Screwball, Shadez of Brooklyn. Everybody was spittin' fire.

DJ Premier is the G.O.A.T. this album is the proof. Hence the name.

Love group home. Was kicking this when it first came out way back. You should check Bucktown by Smiff n Wesson. Ultimate primo beat is Mass Appeal or Come Clean by Jeru the Damaja.

DJ Premier beats are just special. Simply hypnotic... Beethoven, Bach, Amadeus... DJ Premier.

Do group home Supa star!!! That’s another dope song! 🎶🎶

Let's go! Classic jam from a LEGENDARY album! Great reaction as always, my brother. 👍🏽 And yes, Primo production... as good as it gets!

I love how Lil Dap got so much swag he didn't even have to rhyme sometimes in his lyrics. Me and my boy used to lol

Primo’s production on this album is arguably his best of all time. However, the lyrics weren’t up to par compared to Guru’s, Jeru‘s, Bahamadia’s etc. Dap’s rhymes are dope but Them Nutcracker verses were always too weak for me. The album proves that lyrics are important despite dope beats but because production is so damn good in this case, you can’t help to nod your head through every track.

The album is hands down argued as Premos best production. It is said even Jay-Z mentioned if he had a chance he would redo an album only using these very beats from this album.

1986 to 88 was the peak of the crack epidemic, and group home is from Brooklyn nyc.

"life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough" comes from Wu-Tang's CREAM

Every hip hop DJ had doubles of this 12" when it dropped. Huge hit back in the day!

You have to React to Group Home's "Super Star". It's one of the most iconic Beats in Hip Hop. It's My Ringtone Right Now. 🤣

Peace fam! Please check/review Killah Priest- Heavy Mental, The Offering ..The Pharcyde - BizzareridetothePharcyde Souls of Mischief 93 til Infinity

one of my favourite tracks, u got to give "Mass Appeal" from Gangstar a listen. Classic Premo production

Group Home is from right here in Brooklyn there album has some of Premo's dopest beats from the mid ' 90s.

Group Home_ Supa Star, Lil Dap was the first one rappin', he from Brooklyn, Melachi the Nutcracker, I believe, is from The Bronx. Yes, their first album was some of Primo's best work. Hood Classic. Real Street music. make you wanna put on the Tim's, army fatigues and Yankee hat!!!

DJ Premier produced this whole album and said himself this was his best work. Most agree. I would recommend a full album reaction. EVERY track is on point. Peace.

MELACHI WAS A BOXER, K SOLO OF THE HIT SQUAD TOO..

Gang Starr Foundation

They didn't blow much but one of the groups under primo and guru...I remember cold winters back then.

I feel like this album had some of Primo's top best beats he's ever made. Like ever.

If you dig this track, then Supa Star will blow your mind. This album has some of Primo's best work

I agree with Jeff Futrell. You have to do “Superstar.” You won’t be DISAPPOINTED ✌🏾

React to outkast git up git out

Group Home Against The Wall Getaway car remix I 🙏🏿 u react to this str8 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing choices as always. Again, CAMP LO - LUCHINI

Good shit bro. Keep the 90s reactions coming

I suggest you react to Nature of the Threat by Ras Kass. The epitome of lyrical Hip-Hop

This is probably the greatest hip hop beat BUT it doesn't beat Top billin by audio 2

Check out Supa Star by Group Home and Speak Ya Clout by Gang Starr.

86, crack started...Reaganomicks

Micah is from the BRonx and lil dap from BK

And Gangstarr - Above the Clouds

Premier knew exactly what group to sample too lol

malachi the nutcracker and lil dap...

Group home superstar video.word up son

More LIVIN PROOF from 👑 Ahmad!! BIG UPS!!

Superstar beat is a F*cking Classic

Premo carried them if he would have given those beats to any top tier artist it would be the best album of all time

premier best album ever was Jeru - Wrath of the Math

Group Home Superstar

This must be my fav track of all time. The beat is just soo dope

Gang Starr Full Clip got blocked bro

That got a 'like' before I even saw the reaction.

PREMIER IS HIP HOP

The beats for this album were actually made for Nas. Luckily he didn't use them. This album stayed in my walkman everyday along with Nine -Cloud 9 and M.O.P - Firing Squad.

DJ Premier produced some beats for Jeru The Damaja: "D Original", "Come Clean" & "Mental Stamina" are some nice ones from 1993/1994.

85-86 had a Nicaraguan plug that fish scale looked like moth balls

BEASTCOAST

The whole album is a classic, production wise. Dap and Malachi are aight lyrically. Listen to Sacrifice!!!!! Hard!!!!

You’re absolutely right about 88. Jay. Biggie. Nas. Fat Joe. All mention 88. I was born in 87 btw.

deadass the mid to late 80s was the imperial height of drug dealing. everyone was gittin money

I absolutely detest any reaction video. As soon as I seen it was for this track I gave it my undivided attention. I’m 46 years old and I’m telling you this track (along with gang Starr hard to earn) was absolutely the soundtrack for the golden era of the 90s. I’m blessed to have came up in an era when shit was so wild (pre internet/smartphone). I understand and respect that it’s not 25 years ago and my son laughs occasionally telling me some of my shit sounds “dated”. Respectfully I know I’m an old fart but this shit here pioneered and paved the way for SOOOOO many people who got in,got on and kept over saturating the culture with bullshit. Thank God for DJ Premier. Laced EVERY SINGLE PERSON with outrageous beats and I was blessed to meet him in prospect park in 2007. Very intelligent,sincere man and as cool as you’d imagine. Thanks for acknowledging this track. It’s such an important classic and hopefully younger cats understand that life was nothing like it is today and just because the lyrics aren’t too wordy or dripping with fancy wordplay … understand that this was “that shit”. Peace and blessings ✌️

Peace my brother Please do more Slick Rick preferably his whole debut album. Highly underrated MENTAL AL

My homie plays a lot of Group Home when we have sessions, they are dope! I just don't know the names of their tracks 😂. This is that perfect east coast golden era sound I can bang all day in the background and never get sick of.

Idk if you listened to Smooth da Hustla, Trigger Da Gambler and D. R. Period yet...That once upon a time in America was way before it's time.....¹

Peep the C.R.E.A.M-WuTang sample for the chorus. Deck verse...

I would say that 86, 92 and 98 are the biggest years in Hip Hop... Definitely 1992. 92 is when Wu-Tang came out and dr. Dre Deep Cover and The Chronic

DJ Premeir is the GOAT, I 2nd Supastar next. Another amazing Group Home joint

Google 1988 Hip-Hop albums. 1988 was the year Hip-Hop exploded. It was starting to get more attention and notoriety because of the cable TV explosion and nationally syndicated shows like Yo! MTV Raps and Rap City. A lot of Hip-Hop's most iconic albums came out that year. It was also the year that the west coast emerged as a powerhouse in Hip-Hop which had been dominated by the east coast. The east coast took a back seat to the west coast until 1994 when Nas, Wu-Tang and Biggie stepped on the scene. This was the beginning of what is regarded as the Golden Era in Hip-Hop. Eminem was the last Great Rapper to come out of that era. When the 2000s began the South was beginning to establish itself as the most influential coast in Hip-Hop.

whle album dope! Supa star Beat Might Be Top 3 BEAT All time!!! Check It out Yo!

Every beat on this album is fire. Think all done on SP1200 by Premo except like one from Guru.

that album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Smif-N-Wessun next! 🙏🏼

Yup, the late 80's in NY was the peak of the crack epidemic, I was a kid but I still remember seeing empty vials at the playground

top5 favorite group produced by Dj Premier

This shit randomly came on my 90s Mix on Spotify and I had heads turning at red lights 💀 DJ premier beats are so simple but otherworldly at the same time

You should review AZ - the format & the come up both produced by dj. premier. You wont be sorry, theres a reason nas dont want az on all his tracks he too gifted!

I’m from Brooklyn bro that when the rap game was on top 80’s and 90’s

You gotta do "Make them Pay" by Gangstarr. The first guy on this song says "make them pay" and Preemo flipped it for that joint🔥 off the moment of truth album💯

The Beat Preemo. The height of HipHop. CIA said no more of this then downhill follow the fall

Late 1980s to the early 1990s was the height of the crack era and all the violence. It was daaangerous in every city.

OMG! Son this song is my shiz nit! I was scrolling and seen this title and was like (Errrrr... Tires) Gotta see this!

It's funny because Melachi wasn't even tryna be a rapper. He was tryna be a boxer, but he got into some trouble and the judge who was presiding over his case pretty much ruled that he couldn't pursue a career as a boxer because that'd basically give him a license to be violent

Nice one Yo! You checkin DJ Premier & Guru's So What's Up?

I saw them Live in Basel Switzerland that was a killshot❤❤❤

You need to play this shit in the car bro, that's what's been made for. Trust me, a totally different feeling. Premo is a mastermind!

...I was locked up round '97 with a new york Rican brotha who had a murder case back then, said he knew them, said they was real.

Ohhhh man, gotta love group home.. feel like you been taking all my suggestions, God less you bro

Jeru the damaja's da original is another dj premier banger that's worth checking out.

Lil dap my big brother.that was a honor for me that he accepted my beat to rap on it and put it in his new album.Sometimes I learn from his words while we talking on phone from two different side of earth.❤

Classic album. Classic production.

Need to review The east Flatbush project - Tried by 12. One of the best beats and tracks ever.

Check out Mental Stamina. Another Primo banger!

So funny you pointed out 1986!! Me and my dad talk about 1986 year all the time and I was born in 91.. we say this lyric alot 1986 I finally reached my peak! Tons of songs talk about 86.. I sent my pops the clip of you talking about 86 because we always talk about that ha nice!!!

Check for Premo & Griselda 🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷

Roc Marciano - Richard Gear

U gotta do Supa star and suspended in time by group home and also real hip hop by das efx all produced by dj premier
