Is this documentary why poseyedon and deadeye vs otherwize got taken down from RU-vid? Please tell me there are deleted scenes in the dvd with the full battles lol. Wise is one of the goats at this battle shit
I was at elements damn near every week for 2 years and I am not nowhere in the documentary? I know originally I was in the footage for at least a few seconds...first the GOOD LIFE doc, now this one...sheesh! I just want my place in history noted too...LOL!
Their was a lot of people who didn't get their props in the documentary, who deserved such. I was very very outspoken about this on the behalf of many people who should have been in the documentary with even making a suggestion about how they could have fixed that, but sadly their was some hate shyt that was going down or other issues that affected many people not even being honored or at least not even being listed or mentioned in the documentary credits. But you know what, remember this. Just because someone DOES do a documentary or somehow had the resources to make a video does not necessarily place or should make them suddenly a God of underground hip-hop or an authoritative hip-hop authoritarian on hip-hop history. For example, Sheena Lester was not in the documentary, Darryl James was not in the documentary, Raymond Roker was not in there, and shit, so many others who should have been in there including Meshak from Kronick Magazine was not even in there and these people were some of the true gatekeepers of information when it came to L.A. underground hip-hop. But regardless, nobody could ever take away their props or their history in the history of L.A. hip-hop underground and honestly, sometimes the people who create or record some of these documentaries were nowhere to be found in the first days of our hip-hop history that happened in OUR community because we would have seen them but they were not there or witnessed there, otherwise WE would have seen them or documented or noted them in history as being there (Crenshaw, Jungles, Leimert Park, Exposition Park, Slauson). We knew everyone and knew ALL who set foot in our community. We knew a lot about our community when it came to everything that had taken place around that piece because we lived and lived in it everyday. Or what about Duane from Earlez Grill on Crenshaw? No history on him too, and he was before Goodlife and was actually connected with Ice Cube with some amazing hip-hop history even before the GoodLife. It gets even deeper but we will stop at this point. Actually fuck it, lets drop it even further to show you how cold this can be. You see, some of the footage of the battles in this documentary was MY footage that I had held for over 20+ years and I myself didn't even get NO credit for it being used in the documentary and I was even begged day after day after day for it to be used for this documentary and I share it out of love and told them that they should also reach out to a few others who were a part of the video creation out of respect, not realizing that it was going to be used in such a way and then not giving any credit for the footage in any way, means, form, or whatsoever. But then again, we see this type of exploitation happen to our own people from other groups of people so I guess it's ok for us to do it to ourselves. smdh Some would say on a street level this is a violation, similar to like an emcee biting another emcees lyrics and verses and then using those lyrics and then to claim them as if the lyrics were their own, forgetting that those lyrics actually come from a founding person or an originating source. But no matter what, no one man or one group of people can NEVER take away the history of people or a person who put in their work in the hip-hop game that has had their history stamped in the fabric of time and history in this hip-hop game...facts. As for myself, I was a big part of the Club Unity circle with Bigga B being one of my best friends in this whole hip-hop game, and if you knew about Unity, you knew about the 24-Hour Hip-Hop Phone Network, or the contributions that the Hip-Hop One Network made on the whole L.A. hip-hop community period and if you knew about those two, you knew about not just some of L.A.'ship-hop history, but that much of the deeper foundation of much of L.A.'s hip-hop history. So yes, history can try to be taken but it's history can never be stolen and yes, their will always be unsung heroes, and those heroes will NEVER be forgotten. As for Otherwize, he was ONE of my favorite emcess of all times in Los Angeles. Thus the reason I put him on the cover of the Newswire, an achievement that not just any artist could do or come close to achieving on the Hip-Hop Newswire. Otherwize was on the March/April 1999 cover of the Hip-Hop Newswire, and he was also one of my little brothers who I adopted under my wing who I was very very very proud of. I know that he can vouch for pretty much all of what I'm talking about because even though he was part of the younger upcoming generation at the time, he was part of our history because he was in our community with us. He was one of us. Facts. And this is what makes history and how when it's handed down and documented correctly works. 🙏💯
@@SuperHnsif it was that Em part they showed here I find it hard to believe Em lost. I’ve heard it was debatable to Em won to Em was robbed to Otherwize won. Where is Em choking bc it def didn’t show it there 😅 I don’t think what they showed was Em vs Otherwize though.
