I have listened to this song many hundreds of times in my life. At this point it is a part of my family. From my silver sony boom box to my Galaxy s20 plus, its always been with me. EPMD fo life!
One of the ALL TIME great JEEP jams. JEEP because back when it was hot you heard it in the JEEPS. After a while dudes would go get their sound systems adjusted just so a song like this (and yeah LL Cool J's whole "Mama Said Knock You Out" was MADE for that kind of rumble in the jungle). Young people, you have NO IDEA how good Hip-Hop was. In some aspects it has moments. But back during these 80s, 90s....it was EVERYTHING. Sit back and let this just play. It IS a loop but it is WELL DONE musically. LISTEN.
Timeless Classic- Still banging in 2017!! if you listen to this for more that 30 seconds and your body don't get to swayin - you're soulless and either dead or dead inside. IJS
Trust me your right. But I'm from Toronto and we were known for being the sister city to New York City we knew. Best beat ever and I'm a dancer that loved this song growing up watching Fendi do his thang.
EPMD blew up because their sound wasn’t full on NYC! They were willing to jump into that new west coast sound. This ain’t no “boom bap” this is some pioneer ish!
Dare I do it?! I will. Here goes, instead of "so" I'll substitute still hot, so you can say I'm blazin'Or Luther Vandross says, yo I am "Sooooooo amazing, and I've been waiting" :D
Shit back when hip hop still had beats….rappers these days wouldn’t know what to do with a beat like this…the mainstream 1’s,the underground always holds it down 🖤🎼🥶
heard this LIVE when they rocked Melb Australia 2012....twas possibly the fattest beat I have ever experienced...it consumed the venue... I actually didn't recognize it for a few seconds - coz it was playing SO DAMN THUMPIN
@@realmczappa your right. I don't let why I wrote knee deep. Parliament/Funkadelic is my all time favorite group. I know practically all there hits from 1974 or 75. Thanks for the correction 💯
great loop. still smashes 90% of the new stuff with the instrumental alone. i doubt people will be rocking little wayne,drake,soldier boy etc 20 years from now. see you in 2031.
@panavision09 Wow that’s crazy to even think about! Never thought even back than that I’d still be banging this beat out my speakers like it was 88!…in 2021!!! But I LOOOVE THE TECHNOLOGY to be able to do so!
time is tempest, check my temper, the temperature is being bested, this is message bored, drill into the floor boards being measured by scores of my labor being questioned, this is passive aggressive, not actual edges, still cutting clean like a lean from a brick that is the tetris, I'm not a player, but stuck in the game, you can't explain why I drain the competition from hope that they're the freshest, I'm not impressed, but invested to bring change like a new day in the trenches, digging deep, that's soul you can't amount to, that's why they call for shovels when they huddle like mounds do, you were looking for real rap, you're lucky I found you, I'm not Hammer, but I hit the beat like a pound do, like a ton of weight, for this I wait as I bring the beat that can undulate...
when we were kids, i told my friend that when epmd went down into the sewer to shoot this video, das efx was already down there rapping.. and that's how epmd discovered das efx... i'm pretty sure he still believes it.
In the early days of sampled beats, this sounded so exotic to me. I had no idea what the sound in the sample was. Now, of course im familiar with the language of sampling and I can tell it's a guitar lick. But back then it was a really wild sound.
Telling this generation what is a emcee or a poet is like convincing someone that is an theologian that ancient paleo hebrew had existed before Yiddish modern hebrew

in the top 4% of all beats ever made. ridiculously good
When the BEATS could stand ALONE for a whole playthrough 💯👊
If you don't like this, you need a check up from the neck up! Had this on cassette when it first came out, and still hittin' hard in '24!!
@@TXBD4964 my man I have the tape too bro. A side is so what cha sayin and b side is you gots to chill.
Classic, timeless beat. Eric Sermon is one of the nastiest beat creators on the planet.
this was Dj scratch first production wen he first joined the group.
More like Jazzie B, Nellee Hooper created the beat (drum loop). Eric was clever to have sampled it for use as the backbeat.
"Now wouldn't that be fair...Do you think she would care?" Soul II Soul, 'nuff respect!!!! ua-cam.com/video/ccW_YiZJ1pA/v-deo.html
@@drfangaz-pronouncedlikefan4019 Uh, this beat was created by Eric Sermon a full decade before the aforementioned...
When beats had testosterone

Who in da fuck dont like this!!!???😡😡😡
The employees of the year, yeah we're back to work
I took time off, while all the rappers got jerked
Due to the fact that they're whack and their tracks
Have to go back and stack 'cause they lack
The ingredients EPMD and Scratch for that
Yo, I'm the hip-hopper, plus the show shocker
Down with MD, yes the microphone doctor
One wrecks, the other destroys
And if you think that you're ready to mess (kill the noise)
We don't play when it's time to slay
I take a cut from my homey, yo, then I lay
back and mack and all the rhymes I pack
And wait for a sucker to jump and then attack
Well, I'm known to be the master in the MC field
No respect in eighty-seven, eighty-eight you kneel
Cause I produce and get loose, when it's time to perform
Wax a sucker like Mop & Glow (that's word born)
Smacked a second time, but on a different assignment
And do a sucker new jack who needs a rappin' alignment
Cause I'm the cream of the crop when it's time to do a show
Girlies on my jock for my dope intro
As I glance at E-Double, kickin' microphone wrecker
Turn on my cordless, sayin' mic checka
To the ladies and all party goers
Some call me freak, and others slow flower
Brothers on my jock, for the way I hold a piece of steel
So what you sayin'?
So what you sayin'?
Puttin heads to bed, straight out the box
MC's, are jumpin' out shoes and socks
I'm not playin', understand what I'm sayin'
Catch a sucker in my way, and I'm slayin'
Takin' no shorts, so I'm vital sign
You can tell by my lines that I'm gettin' mines
in eighty-nine, because I'm fine as wine
Sit back and recline, watch the sun shine
Take a stroll, listen to rock and roll
Catch a flick at the movies, dance a bowl
What I chose I refuse to slack while I'm back
I take a chance jack, so I must attack
With knick knack paddywack so I won't lack
Oh my style is def, and as deadly as crack
While I'm slayin' must explain, a sucker is the lame
Battle in the trenches where the funky be playin'
Cause with a partner like E Double don't come a dime a dozen
A kin not blood related, but you can call us cousins
Cause as we climb the charts, better known as statistics
Brothers on my jock while I'm kickin' ballistics
Droppin' hits like I'm Housin', You Gots Ta Chill, and more
The proof is in the pudding (yo check the Billboard)
People round town talkin' this and that
Of how we sound like the R, and our music was wack
Dropped the album Strictly Business and you thought we was bold
Thirty days later, the LP went gold
So what you sayin'
So what you sayin'
Now party people it's time for the exquisite
No knock knock who that over there or who is it
It's the E-R-I-C-K, yes the Boy Wonder
No fouls no bleeps no bloops or no blunders
So hot, so you can say I'm blazin'
Or Luther Vandross says, yo I am
"So amazing, and I've been waiting"
For a sucker to attack yo me the E-Double
Cuz me and PMD is like the funky fresh couple
I fight fire with fire, that's why most retired
And when we needed a piss boy, you was hired
Cause you was Memorex, for that style that we was bringin'
In an all out battle, P comes out swingin'
Cause I'm just that type of brother that's out to get mines
And if the odds against me, I still drop lines
and get mines on time that's why most resign
Sit in my LazyBoy chair, relax my head and recline
Sip a Pepsi or Coke, with a twist of lime
Or crack a forty-oh, and then I go for mine
So what you sayin'
So what you sayin'
I thought he said “while I’m slayin’ musics playin’”?
“Caus you was mesmerized by that st that we was bringing’”
