Grand Puba On Leaving Masters Of Ceremony & Starting Brand Nubian 

This is how MEN communicate. Respect all around! No shouting, no feelings, all respect! Different opinions / POVs yet no BS sneak dissing, lying, or hiding from our own words.

This Brand Nubian build with Puba and Jamar has been great to see.

Wow he got Puba on a interview??? Puba is one of my favorite MC’s of all fucking time!!! Brand Nubian and solo

Grand Puba is one of the greatest well dressed emcee. His lyrical game was always on point my friend.

My favorite Emcee GrandPuba Maxwell

You can see the love and respect that Lord Jamar has for Puba. It’s great to see the Gods connect on his platform.

The Masters Of Ceremony are legends! "Dynamite" 🧨💥

This ish is Epic Respect to this Legendary Group Brand Nubian

Brand Nubian is very very underrated Hip Hop band man.

PEACE to Dr. Who and DJ Shabazz!!! ...and Don Baron Turski!

Peace to the Mighty Brand Nubian. "Wake UP". Is an all time classic it truly woke up a lot of people up.

Damn! I was addicted to video music box! My mom almost killed me when she got that $600. phone bill because I would constantly order videos ( Me & my sister had a huge crush on Brand Nubian, love y’all). 1989 I had to walk my ass to downtown Newark and get a job to pay off that phone bill.

Thanks Puba for making it look easy. youre one of my tops untouchable.

One of my favorite groups of All Times and one of my favorite MCs of All time, plus I had the pleasure to tell em..Grand Puba Maxwell is a Moster with the pen 🖊 Great build. 💪🏿

Thank you for this interview 🙏🏽. Grand Puba is a lyrical GOD. He's the blueprint for our music.

Grand Puba on an interview??? This NEVER happens. Even with fam. This is a victory for hip hop!

Awww ish THE ATTRIBUTE HAGI !! THESE BROTHERS ARE THE REASON WHY MY LIFE IS GREAT!!✌🏽✌🏽

Man this guy i grew listening too, and wow the guy can back up street cred and the talent of rap and Mc at that time frame of the beging of the genre, this cat has so many followers and influenced individuals like biggie smalls etc, this cat is fire and should be super rich right now just because of his talent alone, i would love for him to come up with a new new track just to lay it out there and let these kids know why rap is on the map and that is because of talent masters of their game Grand Puba, i mean Biggie Smalls was a lover of him and got influenced by this man and thank God we have the opportunity to see him on youtube. I really really hope he comes back with a old school style track to just make us older heads happy, hey Puba man if you see this i want to tell you im a very big fan of yours and would love to see you up in Jersey if you ever around here, I'm in the Newark area which i know for a fact you're familiar with, so good luck to you my brotha and hope you get some tracks out here to the public.

Best dressed rapper of the 90’s

I'm STILL waiting for the 2nd Masters of Ceremony album!!!

Puba’s lyrical content is highly underrated. Brand Nubian was the soundtrack for my senior year.

Puba still cool as ever. Enjoyed the whole 22 minutes

Peace to the God HAGI ALLAH ( Grand Puba ) I was 14 when y'all came out and I was representing the 5% on the west coast in Love Allah ( LA ) ✌🏾💯

It is simple amazing how, one can dream and manifest, in one life....the god and Pubba; is exemplary symbols of such point! One love, peace to the the god and Most High 🙏🎤🎶🖤

Grand Puba is one hip hop's greatest mc''s.He is in my top 25 !

Grandpa puba .The Dopest!!!!!!!!!

Excellent interview. Been waiting for a Grand Puba interview FOR YEARS. Didn't disappoint. So many unknown jewels dropped in this clip for the general public and fans of Brand Nubian.

Puba is one of my favorite MCs of all time, definitely a Titan in the game

it's Always Good To See 2 Legends Having A Real Conversation... I Didn't Know Dr. Who And Grand Puba Were Cousins

Brand Nubian definitely top 10.... Big Up

Your absolutely right Ralph played that Kilimanjaro performance of y’all . Ya’ll be came my group. I gained knowledge of self after that I was already ready books like the paleman and message to the Blackman Brand Nubian was the soundtrack to my life going to school. Peace to the Gods !

Puba taking them ginseng shots. The game is rigged to keep us ignorant. Props to the originators.

Pubas voice is unreal its naturally characteristically cool

Much respect. Glad to see the mutual respect. Legendary.

The ending of this vid said it all. First thanks to Puba for enlightening me 30 some years ago and thanks for staying the course..SALUTE

Peace, love both you guys been going back and listening to your music. The knowledge, wisdom and understanding you guys dropped was ahead of your time. You made consciousness cool, my man put me onto you guys back in the days and been listening ever since. Glad to see the Gods still shining.

I did dig how Ģrand Puba, got in that ass too....he was simply being the protector of fam; lord didn't retract though....knowledge...respect!🖤

As the brother that was there as a break dancer for Master of Ceremony, song in the background on "you try to do me (introduced Puba to my boy Dave Hall who produced the record)" for Brand Nubian, watching Jamal and X develop under Puba at Bill Brickles to Jazzy Studio's on Allerton Ave; this right here is pure facts! From hanging out at Doctor Who's crib, him being a true lyricist as well as low key, X always being a dope as lyracist and to lord Jamal first being a DJ then, rapper and producer (did it all like Puba); these brother deserve their flowers because most people don't understand the dedication and crafting of your skills it takes to develop such an iconic group and albums. Also, most people don't know Puba was definitely shopping them first, as solo artist. More importantly, it all started at Bill Brickles crib as the epicenter in developing both groups (Masters of Ceremony and Brand Nubian); he often isn't mentioned. Come to think of it, Puba and Shabazz actually taught me how drive lol! Good brothers, great families and great times!!!

That Jamar impression puba did was in point lol

Incredible music with intelligence and intelect with wisdom and knowledge and music that was in the now ! A group that stood on their principals !

Family tree roots right here Masters of Ceremony to Brand Nubian to solo careers 🔥🔥🔥

One of my favorites in hiphop Along with Tribe and Gangstar🎶🎶

Real valued hip hop ourstory! All for one!!!

Grand Puba and Brand Nubian still standing on their square

This was needed 💯

Legendary...Video music box all day classic , brand nubian ..legendary

We need to get the Brotha Puba in shape.

Dr. Who's style was nasty and unique.... I still listen to Masters of Ceremony to this day..... I really wish he would have kept going.

Health is Wealth....

What they came up with creatively, became one of the most impactful groups, brands, and psychological effects in Hip Hop EVER!

Probably my fav group. That raw 90's hip hop explosion was fierce Brand Nubs was leading it....nuff respect due to Brand Nu

yo I still rock that Masters of Ceremony album. "Redder's Posse" that was my favorite joint ....word

Let’s get it the bottom of the per-diem stories 🤣😂 all love though

Been waiting for this thank u Godcast!!

Dope interview…. Fan for life ✊🏾

I still listen to Grand Puba masters of ceremony and 360 and Brand Nubians One For All to this day everyday. Y’all sound is timeless. I had a crazy crush on Grand Puba still do. I remember seeing Brand Nubians on the FDR back in the 90s. Those were the best of times. Grand Puba you married? Heyyyy, I can cook. What’s the 411.

Love Brand Nubian. They don't make them like no more. Respect.

This is incredible hearing these stories. Basically my adolescence

WORD RESPECT PEACE LOVE & BLESSINGS TO THE GRAND MAAANNN MASTERS OF CEREMONY & BRAND NUBIAN LOVE YA'LL BROTHER'S!!![999]

That was the best era of hiphop for me

The master move! Dynamite!

Hard life lessons, even when ur doing the right thing by standing up, the overseers can make u take a seat 😪

Tommy Hilfiger owes Grand Puba some RESPECT!

Soul Controller is my favorite Puba joint, Classic.

PEACE TA THE GODZ & THE EARTHZ... Puba'z a TOP MC. If you don't have a favorite Puba Song, or @ Least Verse............. You don't Know Hip-Hop...✊🏿

I was in park west in 86 and puba was burning cats in the lunch room and I don't even think he went to park west!

Dope... Salute to the Legends...💪🏿

Grand Puba Maxwell, the most underrated MC IMO

Classic old school pioneers right here!!! They are still solid in my opinion!! Much respect to Brand Nubians!!

MIDDLE FINGER TO THE 3 THUMBS DOWN ON THIS.

Thanks for the Wake up call.

These BROTHERS AMEN

One For All is a 5mic classic

Good interview

Salute 2 Don Baron. I loved his solo album called Young Gifted and Black.

Video Music Box was the blueprint of how to do a 1st Class Hip Hop Show and Yo! MTV Raps have them to thank for it.. Wake Up is my favorite Brand Nubian group video. So glad to see this build session with The Gods.. Sadat coming in on the surprise would have been STELLAR..

Peace To The Gods; “The Blood 🩸 Brothers”!!!

1 For All Is a Straight Classic Start to Finish!

Sunshine (wake up) my favorite song of all times still today

✌🏿to the Gods and Earths..

This is pretty amazing. Lord j is basically saying I was just here for the ride and had no real imput on business or even the group… and saw the other angles of the two g’s that had all the keys… and it’s pretty amazing how grand p knew the whole plan. Lord j is very very very blessed as grand puba knew that the only way this would work is if he was in the group because he knew the chances of success are very very small without him. This is probably the realist shit I’ve seen from hip hop in a hot minute…. I also get a kick out of how grand p is basically ready to drop bombs on everyone that’s not shemite. Hahaha

True Legends!!!

Puba jamar peace kings

Grand Puba is a real dude I seen him in New Rochelle in a black Benz at the dinner maybe 97 he showed love. And I seen him in KFC Bridgeport, Ct 2022 and got the same love

Dr. Who was the truth, I always wondered what happened to em'. Masters of Ceremony - Dynamite, one of my favorite Hip Hop albums, I still pump it every now & then.

Jamal and pubaa blessings god

Dante Ross was definitely the visionary. Brand Nubian one of tightest groups.

Peace to the Gods.

Living Legends right here! True Kings and God's indeed. Peace!

Hip hop Royalty!!

Peace upoN the Gods!

Great dialogue

1 of my favorite emcee, Puba. Peace 7
