The Influence of Hip-Hop: Mount Westmore 

He’s the reason we all use the term “goat”. Imagine if he had trademarked the term.🤯

Uh yes we do.

❤❤❤❤❤❤he is great

Facts. I've heard all 40, Cube. and Short talk about LL alot in the past as an influence

The original GOAT

LL been around since the 80's and still hungry and pushing for hip hop 💯💯

Nah Rakim is the blueprint he set the trend from early 80’s!

@@12tribes61 Rakim came out after LL in the late 80s. LL is 84 on up. 1st artist on Def Jam Records. Only solo star before him was Kurtis Blow

You right bout that ,They ready to make music now.

Dope, ain’t it?

Peeped that.

That's them drum players right there jack...lol H~

They was NOT feeling cube the two gentlemen next to him 18:51 okayed it off well guys but I spotted the shade damn lol and at 19:39 the interruption was shad tho again 20:45 RUDE ASSES WOW NO CUP FOR CUBE? SPOT THE SHADE YET? 22:01 yikes is he calling cube out??? 🤔🥂🤣

✅💯🔥🔥🔥

Much Needed.

Truth.

💯

Short gave cube 0 credit even tho cube talked good about listening to shorty music & the vibes were DEF FAKE how could y'all not see that???? The acting was so superb oh I'm 36 btw (by the way) shrug ✨🤦🏾‍♀️☕ he says most of the viewers are under 25 (as they say) 🤔 then why are they speaking of pumping? affiliations with street credit/life? and mistresses etc. it's a mental trap to have a certain outcome in communities I can tell ice cube was very uncomfortable with a smile gotta be because lights, camera, action, there's no entertainment without a show

24:14 the shade is crazy cube didn't even repeat it loool

Word! It's actually kinda dope to witness.

Game recognize game. Timeless understanding!

E 40 is top 5 weak whack emcee of all times

@@mikeychainsaw9760 Stay off the drugs

I was one of those big cousins playing it in 88 I was 13.

That’s how the story goes for the real 80s babies. Born in 83 thats how it all started. Big ups

Same here man. I was 7 that year to. In 1988 I listen to my first song ever happened to be the song monster mash. The following year Yo MTV raps first aired. The rest is history.

E-40 is in my Top 5 as well

💯👊🏾

GOAT!! 🐐

Check out cube last album everythang corrupt if u haven't it's 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why is Snoop never on the interviews? I've seen clips of three and he's never there.

@@willgamer0849 you know Snoop like to smoke on set. LL dont wanna get blunted on the air lol

He really does show love to the early 80s NY rappers whom he admired on the come up

@@willgamer0849 snoop is shooting a movie apparently… that what was said in another interview. He is also trying to do a lot of other side hustles like Snoop Loopz and Death row so he probs too busy atm.

Most Def 💯

Yea it's dope - even to extend the love for hip-hop ❤️

Rather have an Album!

52 y/o checking in.

You and I are the same age real hip-hop matters

Start recording it’s to easy these days not to

@@RebelutionaryMusic No doubt brother! I got easy access to record. All free studio time, mix, master, even a dope Producer. I lost the compassion to get back in tha lab to be honest. SoundCloud, Tha Plus..

@@RebelutionaryMusic if you mind me asking brother. What do you for this culture called Hip-Hop?

I agree

I AGREE, WE NEED A TRACK LIST OF THE SONGS HE PLAYED!!!!!

📠

Yup Agreed 👍

Yeah the youngsters don't know how legendary this is!

100%

For real that I'm loaded song I haven't heard in a while but it reminded me and it went straight to my play list.

Very True being a DJ myself🔊🎶🎤

Z trip a heavy hitter too

I always liked that one since '96 when it dropped. Album #10.

Favorite!

I say...."Surviving the game". However....album number 10 is still my favorite Too Short album

I never got the hype with Too Short....His rhymes are so a-b-c, 1-2-3 simple & elementary.....Not lyrical at all. I've tried over and over to listen, but all his songs his lyrical ability SUCKS.🤷🏾‍♀🤷🏾‍♀ But I guess it's just a preference, obviously he's a Hip Hop legend, so he's stamped with that status, just never got the hype with his simplistic rhymes.

Simple but profound…don’t need to yell or grunt, no need for elaborate lyrics…$hort spitted game where a young or old person could fully understand. No extra verbage needed…

@@TheRemixstress Too Short been rapping before “Rappin Duke” duh - ha, duh-ha…When he started rapping hip hop was as easy as A-B-C, 1-2-3. Rappin Ron was my folks,and he told me that Short can get lyrical but when he makes records he sticks with his formula. When you listen to Short you have to listen for Game, not lyrics. Listen to “Paystyle” and the game he spitting to his 2nd generation of fans turned rappers. He rocked about 4 generations, in that song he was addressing the 2nd generation of rappers coming up.

was born a year later and love music from those eras.

1990 here... same, first rappers I heard was snoop pac and biggie, that lead me to NWA 40 AND Short, then Run Dmc, LL, Rakim, slick Rick, krs, big L, ice t, Pun, but soon as I heard Eminem, the song infinite specifically, I was like yeah I want to rap lol I still think that song is one of the best songs ever lyrically...

💯🔥

Mane you ain’t lying! We wuz slappin dat in Little Rock back in 95! 💯

@@jizzle4212 Facts that album bro every song slapped

I liked hall of game

Yeah 40 is definitely slept on, the Bay Area put out a ton of quality music!

No lie

Man those were the Dayz!! I was Buyin shit simply cause of how the cover looked

Same here

Im an educator, and for years i've seen and lived hip-hop from it's beginnings. Understanding how impactful hiphop actually is, and how it's so many ways to employ and implement the talents of human beings. STEAM and/or STEM careers in hiphop can, and does empower ANYBODY who understands the various aspects and ways in hiphop to monetize and build one's legacy. If youre an entrepreneur and have this Spirit of hiphop, like the greatness we see in this video, IT'S A million and one lessons and jewels being dropped. So many profound ways to manifest DREAMS. To produce excellence and reduce the poverty that hiphop highlights. I've seen the elements of hiphop erase racism and unify humans worldwide. The character, integrity, passion and desire to elevate one's self into thriving communities where every person is discovering ways to excel and self -improve. Hiphip is an educational tool so versatile, like a swiss army knife, that every "Boss" or "Entrepreneur" should explore the endless possibilities for personal growth and fulfillment. When Nas said "Hiphop's dead" he was articulating the fact that it was a tool being misused to kill and destroy the genius and creative gifts of many aspiring artists and the established artists that want to be relavant longer than a "lit" single or "hot" season. Hiphop is a boundless expression that can kill or heal ones soul, it just depends on how well it is utilized. Snoop, LL, Cube, 40 and Short are examples of HipHop's success... uncompromised, unapollogetic, Unwilling to perpetuate industry BS. The narrative and agenda that a lot of executives promote is selfserving. From 9 months to 99 yrs old when you absorb good hiphop its easy to jam along. The GOAT rappers must promote, protect and preserve the culture. We listeners have to reject toxic tunes and hold the reps accountable for the fabricated crap disguised as "hiphop".

There's lectures out there you just gotta look for um' or dig deep in the crates for the Hip-Hop music back in the day. I know for sure there's a good series of lectures KRS-One did that's out here on YT.

Bars

He doesn’t have a podcast. He just has a show - “Influence Of Hip Hop” where he interviews emcees from time to time. All legendary interviews !! Dre, EM, Raekwon, DMC, Beastie Boys.

Funny. They're only 1 year apart.

that's dope!!

Same here & I'm 30
