E was bangin' that P-Funk in his music before Dre and those West Coast cats... I think he might've inspired the West Coast sound in the '90s... just like Schooly D gave them gangsta rap. Everything started on the East Coast.
One of the most not talked about most respected producers ever: according to ALL these new blogs. They need to check that lane, if we even cared. Peace 4Eva EDubbs!!!
This was 93. I was a freshman in high school. This video was confirmation that EPMD was done. Its amazing how this still bangs in 2013. The stuff coming out know couldn't sound like this even if they bit E doubles formula. "ding a ling a ling with the guitar freak the funk speech/make the contact strong as bleach"
This Erick Sermon album was a Super Banger, I used 2 bump this shit in my gold Chevy/gold interior/gold top on Dayton Wheels. A la - Doughboy on Boyz N the Hood.🥁🎹🎧🎤🎼
I never get tired of this kind of rap!!! You know what I mean...the proper hip hop style and sound!!!! The real sh*t!!!!! Its been 30 years and I'm still bumping it!!! 😉😃
Remember bumpin' dis in my brothers Styled Up Cortina M K 2 back In the Daze ,Toyota MR2, VW, Golf cabriolet among other Happy Days . OK Kenz/ Gubbz#288
I remember when this song was released on the Who's the Man soundtrack. This was a weird time for Erick Sermon. EPMD had just broken up under weird circumstances (E's house getting robbed, rumors of Parrish setting it up, etc.)., he had gone off and established Def Squad, and nobody knew what he was going to come back with. Then this single came out and it was right up there with anything he had ever produced with EPMD., and the ensuing album "No Pressure" was also really solid. Takes me back for sure.
I remember thinking, "Man, I don't know about these dudes (Erick & Parrish) rocking solo. Don't think that shit's gonna work out." Then, the Who's The Man? soundtrack dropped and I was like "OMFG!!!! Erick's gonna be just fine by himself." Hittin' Switches was a fire solo debut joint from E. Erick could do no wrong in the mid-90's. Too many fire productions.
Erick Sermon's tracks (from the first two albums) bring me a strong feeling of nostalgia besides the joy of hearing good music. So I feel the warmness inside
Ya'll will never hear hip-hop Hot Shit like this on the regular ever again! too much money being made doing commercial B.S. Record execs ain't stupid they just loop it. sorry to any kiddies that came late to the party. better go check the archives!
Eric Sermon.. One of the greatest. Sure don't make music like this anymore. Funky ass dope beats. Till this very day he can still flow and drop lyrics. Great work out song. Can someone please tell me what is means hit switches😊
90’s rap reigns supreme
Talk that shit 💯
This should have been his song for def jam fight for New York
EPMD is one of the greatest rap duo's of all time.

The nuances in this song just takes me back. This whole soundtrack knock. 1993, my favorite year, musically.
Fax lords of the under ground, dead serious, 36 chambers, midnight marauders im a teen but I don’t listen to that gay shit rappers are dropping now

When e double went solo I think that's when his production got better IMO straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember when this joint first came out, it was the summer of 93' and at the same time, "Menece II Society " had just hit the theaters.
This song is a "Who's the man?" Soundtrack
This is HIP HOP ladies & gentlemen!!!!!
Facts
Bass line on this joint was nice.
This song is PURE HIP-HOP AND FUNK!!
The Keith Murray joint "Hostile" on E Dub's solo album was the capper to a pretty dope debut.
Keith Went Off on that joint 💯
Alnost 30 years in and I'm still bumping this. E-Double did his solo thing and everybody took notice
LEGENDARY
I was so amazed
with Hitting Switches.
Eric was standing alone.
I remember when this shit dropped. It was the hardest out at the time along with hostile. Damn its still in my playlist.
Dam I forgot how hard this song was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nastiest instrumental ever
Def / Hit Squad might have been the coldest crew since Juice crew to come out the Rap game it would be between them, the WU & Boot Camp or DITC

Erick could do no wrong in the mid-90's. Too many fire productions.
Yup!
