Sho nuf regarding college radio!!! Where I first Muzik from Skillz & The Supafriendz. 88.1 WHOV H.U station in Hampton, VA Mad Skillz' Nod Factor Supafriendz Vowel Movement
It ain’t that VA doesn’t have a sound. VA does have a sound. People still biting Missy sound and style to this day. The industry has always used VA as a gold mine to farm for ghostwriters and production. They’ll build offices there in VA Beach or Norfolk. But, Emcees get boxed out. It’s hard. Very hard. And the hometown does not support until you popping already. It’s a big reason why Clipse and Gillie had such a chip on their shoulders about ghostwriting for Lil Wayne and Baby - and the beat jacking.
NEVER OBEY One the best that ever grace us with music on a soulful level.R.I.P QUEEN OF SOUL... You be sadly miss...But your classic hits still lives on
I met Skillz at The Common “Finding Forever” tour with Q-Tip in 2007 in Philadelphia at the electric factory. Just to get a pic n a dab from him was a highlight of my life. Much love to that King!
In the 804 & 757 it ain't!!! But er'where else maybe or non Skillz' fans. I crank it numerous times consecutively when I play it!!!! Finna bump it right now!! Bout to take a walk in a bit & bump it in my new Sony ear buds!!!
Er'time I hit up Skillz' & Supafriendz show, they always embrace me & show love! I have a pic wit dem which is in the inside cover of their 2000 Supafriendz release. I was too honored when I opened it & saw it!!!
How y'all talking to Mad Skillz about ghostwriting and not ask him about his motivation behind writing the song Ghostwriter he did back in 2000? "I'm the one that your man ____ had to go and get/because he smokes too much lye, couldn't write his own shit" Do better breakfast club!
My guy skillz, shout out VA..... RIChmond, BAdNews, Norfolk, Va beach, Hampton..... and so on the whole VA... I'm from Los Angeles But I lived in Hampton in 2001,2002 and Hampton showed me Luv, shootout shell road and BadNews, shout out MLK
how many people stopped this interview to go watch WuTang Reunited video to see Angela Yee singing the hook "Its Wu Mutha*****" i thought skillz was joking at 1st.
Uh Ohhh!!!!!!😲 Look Who It Iz😯It's Mad Skillz 🎤Ghostwriter😱 4 Da Right Price💲💵 He Can Even Make Yo Ish Tighter🕺🏾(He Didn't Have 2 Do Shaq Like Dat😄 But He Did😏😊)
Why is Angela ANSWERING MOST of the questions for the guest? She's asking questions AND answering them. She's NOT the one being interviewed......Or is she? Smh
Loved when Skillz used to come up to 89tec9 ( Stretch & Bobbito) and bless the mic.Always was one of the best guest/ rappers on the show.I still have tapes of him killing it!!
Skillz is THAT DUDE! The Forerunner for Hip-Hop in VA! He Missy, Pharell, Timbaland, Pusha-T, and all the greats come out of the Commonwealth. Not to mention we have the greatest NFL Defenders in the history of the game to include: Lawrence Taylor, Bruce Smith, Charles Haley, Ken Easely, and Kam Chancellor. Qbs nice too Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Aaron Brooks, Allen Iverson (that's right that one). Look him up.
Bigcash2006 ...Man Angela Yee didn't sing that hook she was a prop. They did that alot back in the day like how they had Erykah Badu in that Roots joints but it was really Jill Scott. Angela could have told the truth but chose not to.
One of my FAVORITE LYRICIST. Not just a Rapper,,, but LYRICIST! Been rocking with Mad Skillz since 'The Nod Factor'. Yeah I just told my age so wat! Mad Skillz is ONE of the lasts ones from the Era where Hip-Hop was still considered da Pure and Truest form of Expression. The Era where "Biting" was NOT allowed. If you were caught "Biting" sumbody elses Rhymes or Style,,,,,, you got Snapped on, Sonned, or even,,,,,, Beat Down. And Ghostwriting,,,,,,,, was looked at as "Biting" because,,,,,,, you were speaking SOMEBODY ELSES WORDS! Its like,,,,,, if THEY can say dat,,,,, then might as well give THEM a Mic, and let em Rock it,,,, Or,,,,, sign THEM to a Deal. It was VERY Taboo. NOW DAYS,,,,,,,,,,,, Everybody Biting off everybody! You WONT be poppin,,,,, if you dont say the saaaaaaaaame thing, da saaaaaaame Slang,,,,,,,,, have da saaaaaaaaaame Swag, da saaaaaaaaaaaame Style,,,,,,,,,, as sumbody else in da Game. Like Skillz said,,,,, deez fools don care about WHO is writing da lyrics. All dey care about is WHAT is said,,,,, and WHO is saying em. Mad respect and Mad props, to a dude who STILL has,,,,,, Mad Skillz. Peace
Wu Tang affiliate Myer Lansky came out of VA back in '96, '97, not long after Skillz, but they didn't go anywhere. Only true Wu fanatics even know who I'm talking about, though, lol.
There is a singer singing on the intrumental - Tip of the tongue track by Mad Skillz. Just a snippet but i digg it. Brings back that old skool flava with a different fresh melody
marxman 300 Right lol. I remember waiting on them joints like Christmas gifts on the radio lol. Murda ain't got no shame lol, he said YEAH I TOOK IT, ON SOME BROOKLYN SHIT 😑
I had the singles for Nod Factor and Move Ya Body both on cassette and 2 copies of From Where cuz the first one popped from running that shit so crazy in my walkman...thank God The Wall used to let niggaz bring they tapes back long as you had that sticker on it
If somebody exposed kendrick I would be heartbroken. But these other guys I dont care if they ain't writing it ain't like they spitting some deep shit anyway
I learn something new everyday. I didn't know before this interview that Angela Yee did the hook for "REUNITED" by WU-TANG, I knew she got her start with them, however I never knew she was on any of their songs.
Philly & the entire state of Va. are spiritually connected 👀 lol. I'm being serious though. My family used to take vacations in Virginia/Virginia Beach. My favorite basketball player is A.I. 💖. He's from Va. & of course is a Sixers legend. Missy was always 🔥. Timbaland is STILL my favorite producer. D'Angelo can still get it. Oh & he's a great artist too 👀👀👀🤣. This Philly girl has an affinity for Va.
Mad Skillz is ill from where???? Was classic!!!! Fam you sleeping if you never heard skillz first lp. I was living in North Jerusalem and this was the album I bumped hard. Shlama! Skillz!
I met this man at Walmart in 2011. Gave him my mixtape in the parking lot and he played it before he pulled off. Cool dude.
VA LEGEND in the building 👑
exo szn so are you
exo szn ... I'm assuming you were there so, ok.
Richmond Va baby! 804
Mad Skillz is the most underrated rapper of all time!
Under-appreciated..
MEET Magazine There are a lot of underrated Mcs and he is one.
No way even close. Underrated but he not on nobody’s list
Title definitely goes to AZ
Black Thought is the most underrated rapper of all time.
In the 90s he was arguably the best VA solo rapper.
T MO arguably? Who else is there to argue lol
C Williams ... I guess you're right. The only competitors were a duo (The Clipse).
T MO Clipse was basically 2000s. Skillz is the era before them. He was the only rapper from the DMV that east coast cats knew & respected.
C Williams u took the words out of my mouth.
illyas was dope out of Petersburg, Trey Songz peeps
We need Mad Skillz to please write these wack rappers rhymes!
MEET Magazine no we don’t I know where you coming from
MEET Magazine underrated after makes no sense
MEET Magazine he is too good for those clowns.
Shout out to ctha god for realizing us Virginia Hip Hop artists don't get that credit we deserve.oh but soon will💪💪VA STAND UP!!!
Okayyyyyyyy Va stand up!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
I went to the Roots show in Va a few weeks ago where he did a DJ set... and he was awesome!.
thats what happens when you are under tutelage of the best DJ in the world
@@dn30001 Jazzy Jeff
Midnight marauders was a classic album. The production was crisp, the era when college radio broke records before radio. I miss the 90 s everyday
Album literally changed my life.
Demetrius Green 88.5 Rhythm & Vibes show at Georgia State broke Midnight Marauders in the ATL area.
Sagay56 yeah! Exactly I'm old-school ATL. I moved here in 92" back in the warehouse days

I'm glad he mentioned Angela on that Wu-Tang Reunited track LOL

Va Legend..but Lady of Rage was the first one rep'n Va (Farmville)
Indeed also as far as Artist Teddy Riley who created New Jack Swing so Va got a sound
Teddy Riley lives in VA but he From N. Y.
NAW, Skillz came out like a year or a few months before Rage.
Axtown Va Wu syndicate
