Special Ed revealed details of his early years in the hip-hop scene and his influences. He mentioned attending school with Busta Rhymes and revealed Rhymes was not rapping back then. Vlad asked him what inspired him to not just be a hip-hop fan but to engage with the craft himself. Special Ed accredited it to seeing other local musicians make music. Ed recounted how he got his moniker, Special Ed from his friend Eric Green, due to his energetic demeanor. He revealed he accepted the name because he wanted to have a positive impact on how people perceive its meaning, considering that 'Special Ed' generally refers to special needs education. He shared his experience of being placed in a differentiated learning program, not for special needs but due to his behavior and outspokenness, which he believed was common for many misunderstood kids of his generation.

That man said "I'm not a Puerto Rican so I'm speaking so that "Juno". 😂 one of the greatest lines ever!
Definitely a clever mc . Flatbush!
The way he rhymed and put his words together, we definitely knew he didn’t have a mental disability
I was in special Ed classes and was joked and laughed at. It was tough cause I simply learned different from others. And I'm way more intelligent and successful than those same people that laughed and joked. Shouts out to all special ed people. Albert Einstein was labeled special ed or LD.... ❤🙂💯
There is nothing wrong with you bro! Thanks for posting an honest comment. Many children shouldn’t be in special education. The education system is messed up. Many people have suffered from it!!
You’re smart your comment is proof ! ✊🏿❤️
We are what Steve Jobs calls the “THE CRAZY ONES"😁
@@mansamusa2012 💯🙂
Long as circumstances didn’t stop you from being your best in life 👍🏿
"The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think." -Einstein
Ed is a pure lyricist. Top notch. Would’ve loved to have seen him work with DJ Quick
Man, that would've been an amazing collaboration!
You must ain't heard them wack repeated rhymes on The Mission and I'm the magnificent remix especially Let's move it "Your mother always told me " x2 come on 🤨that's why he never came back out was dropped after that I like the first album though so he gets a pass 🎤🎧😑
Ed is 100% correct in that they just threw kids in special ed if they didnt know what to do with them, especially in the hood in 70s, 80s and early 90s. Nowadays, its called ADHD and stuff like that but back then, if you didnt pay attention or was disruptive, they tried to throw you in special ed. They tried to do that to one of my nephews like late 90s and we fought it. It was more behavior and paying attention than mental slowness
true...
Right on, in my school we had a whole separate set of classrooms in the basement (kinda cruel lol) specifically for kids who couldn’t handle normal classes, which if you think about it that’s still technically a “special education”.
And yeah it was *completely separate* from the mentally/physically disabled students classrooms
They always try to marginalize us when they dont understand us..
Facts💯
I was a kid back then.
Y’all was just bad.
Exactly! Special Ed does not mean mentally disabled. SCHOOL IS NOT A ONE SIZE FIT ALL WHERE ALL KIDS LEARN THE SAME. but since teachers and staff don’t have the time or even want to therefore they just throw kids in special ED
Love special Ed man, dude deserves his flowers !!
I'm an LD, ( LEARNING DISABILITY)... and proud to say so myself!! There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying so!! I'm 50 years YOUNG, and I represent hip-hop culture!! 💯🫵🏾🫵🏾🫵🏾❤️🖤💚🎤🎚
The thing about having a learning disability it can be used as an advantage. Labels make some people feel that a learning disability and other disabilities always means youre 100% slow. When in reality you can have a learning disability and still excel in areas of life that others without a learning disability may lack. Humans being in general all have defects and lack in areas that other dont. And sometimes just having a good outlook on life and being optimistic is a blessing no matter what your handicaps are. Because there are also people who dont have certain handicaps but hate life, while someone who does understands the blessings of living. Alot of Humans being can be selfish or want to be superior to others but when they finally meet their match and reality hits them wisdom tells them no one is perfect, and a perfect life would not be worth living.
LDs y’all were cool…it was the BDs (behavioral disability) you had to look out for 🤨
You can tell Vlad n Ed grew up in 2 different worlds. I saw a teacher throw a classmate in special ed just for writing on a desk
There are 2 Americas....1 white....1 Black....we're all in it
Hes right about special ed students. I met some smart special ed students
Smart for being stupid 😂
Special Ed was indeed a Special M.C, a dope lyricist and one of those who made M.C 's step there bars up.
Special ed because he can rap was always my perception of the name. Plus, he had a crazy flow and his name was Ed lol so i know what he means
Even Lord Jamar said he was in special ed right? But it was because of his behaviour 😂
😂😂😂
Basically, he’s not SPECIAL ED, he’s special Ed
Much respect to Special Ed.
Love how we respect our legends 😢 no current rock group/fan would dis Aerosmith or the Rolling Stones
I remember seeing Special Ed live in concert back in 1990, he rocked the house. He had 2 sexy female dancers, and I was right up front of the stage watching them do their thing lol.🔥🔥🔥
Facts, In high school I ask my teachers what do I have to do to get a D in there classroom. Some of them told me they can get me in Special Ed and I could do the minimum and get a passing grade. I never went because I would be ashamed if someone saw me in Special Ed, but there were many people in Special Ed that I knew who diffidently didn't belong there. By the way school never was good for me I was home schooled by the best! We never believed in the government school system, Just get that diploma.
Never drew the parallel to special EDUCATION. That makes his name even MORE dope.
That's what makes him special. Not just his rhyming skills but when you listen to "I got it made" his attitude and mindset he displays in his lyrics you could tell he was ahead of his time and had more vision than most 16 yr olds.
"I'm kinda young
But my tongue speaks maturity"
@@chris45627WAY ahead of his time
Very intelligent guy
Them special ed students were wild af
I could listen to Special Ed all day. His voice is great and I can hear him rappin' even when he's just talkin'.
Definitely my top ten special Ed..much respect to a real Lyricist
I met Special in person in Brooklyn back in the dayz...
Man.. I’m still mad that Special Ed didn’t put out Taxing on video because that joint was 🔥
This amazing watching somebody literally fall in love with the art
Special Ed mighta been the first dope mc name
special ed was definitely a dope name since a kid because 1 side of me use to say to myself "why tf he call himself special Ed ? lol" but on the other side it kinda boosted my confidence a bit because he was a cool rapper and I had to join 1 or 2 over my past life. definitely one of my favorite rap names
That's why I always like Special Ed, because Special Ed comes from a place of intelligence. He's giving Vlad, Why america fills with African American youth because they always want to Label.🕛🔄♥️
If you heard him in his song: "I've Got It Made", .....
I was a huge Special Ed fan and remember my uncle asking me why would you listen to someone named Special Ed but although I was a shorty I knew he wasn't Special ed like the kids in my school that were really in Special Ed it was just a play on words
Special Ed of. I can say my life is based on special Ed. He seemed intellectual and he really talks like that. The ticks. It’s like he plays Tetris with his words.
This wild…he’s very candid and intelligent
4:05 In Israel like here it's the same thing when it comes to people with a learning disability and so on
GLAD, can you get Howie T for a interview please!
Vlad you should interview Howie Tee. Howie has a serious discography. I know you only like to interview artist that can make you money and Howie probably will not go viral or have a lot of views but it would be good for the culture to have his history/legacy documented somewhere online. Just a suggestion.
Well, I give him credit for standing on his name. In fact, he joked it off a little lol, but overall he handled it well.
What he said about Special Ed being used as punishment back then...
You a real one B! 💯
I'm wise because I rise to the top of my grade
Wanted peace on Earth, so to God I prayed
What your boy special Ed say. You burn me. Really. Now that’s the code. No one will outshine me.
Picture you talking shit about SE like he wasn't that young fly nigga in 80s when Brooklyn, Queens, SI, Bronx, Halem was hip hop...the real hip hop. If you know you know. If you outside of ny stay out.
They said I was special wouldn't amount to anything,I I remember the teachers talking about me how dirty I was when I used to pertain I was sleep on head down on the desk, Now 7 figures up and they was right I am special 💯👌
Told you uh Glad
yes it does
He literally answered the question before you asked it. Thoroughly
Rumor was Ed hand was messed up from his first video especially in Philly for those of us who were lucky enough to have cable tv
To be a real special ed fan. Cats gotta know about that 1 in a million track on the b side of the think about it single. True lyricist
Wow Jimmy Spicer! Ed took it back! Sometimes it's where you live at is where you get the hook up!!
Jimmy Spicer...the Original story teller 🙌🏽
I mean… it does tho 🤔😬
You definitely didn't watch the clip. U just commented off the title.🙃
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah if you think about it, any teaching that isn’t in a traditional classroom setup is technically a “special” form of education.
There’s special ed for hyperactive ADD students too. And in one school you can find separate classes for “trouble-makers” lol, special ed for deaf or blind students, and yeah also separate special ed classes for kids with Down’s syndrome etc
@@yourfavoritecommentary5028 tbh, I commented before I watched it, and I like his explanation a lot… but it still means that. For better or worse.
@treedillinger5801 You obviously don't understand what he said. Only people who grew up in the hood would understand him because they still put bad kids in special ed classes today.
He should’ve started a Hip Hop accounting program or company too !
Ahhhh “operation success” 🧐 I knew it!
The Magnificent
Yo Vlad can you stop interrupting the guests and let them talk geez
Never going to happen. I gave up on wishing that for a while. 😂😂
Just turrible…peeps can’t even give full answers without this yenta interjecting
They do this in NEW YORK FACTS
Not knowing anything, his name is a clever play of words. It’s funny as shit I thought. Absolutely no offense meant to anybody. Just purely as an artist, it’s a cool name!
Crazy I went to school with his daughter lol
Faizon his name is special ED
Yeap hes right
I alwys thought it was ill that Ed has a perect blend of Jamaican/Brooklyn accent.
Short Bus Shawty!
I hope Vlad ask about the Decepticons
He was Decep?
@@shotalife8299 i don’t think 🤔 you get it.
Ed knows about them because he mentioned them in his song 🎧
Got ya
Howie Tee was the man back then.
I knew his name didn't mean that from the start 😂😂😂 Every body knew that shit...His name mean't ED IS SPECIAL ON THE MIC...COME ON !! MY NAME IS ED !!!
They put me in special ed in first grade for no reason.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@keithen8708 I’m serious, it was life changing.
Coulda fooled me
I hear you.. but still tho.. 🤔
I've heard of O.S.
Other schools gave it different names, but I remember as far back as grade school, at the beginning, I was in a regular class. A teacher told my mom to schedule me for an aptitude test. I guess I did well because when I went back to school after the Christmas holiday, they took me out of my class and put me in a GATE program. Gifted And Talented Education.....I was upset because all my friends were in my old class. I didn't understand. My grades were average at best, but there was a reason for that. To expand on Ed's words, parents do not let the system put your kids away because they don't know what to do with them. Having behavioral issues doesn't mean they have a learning disability. I also knew kids in special education. They were wild, but in the right environment, they were super smart at other things, so there were programs that focused on where their talent was. Thank you for putting thar out, Ed 💪🏽
Shout out to all the GATE kids. I remember some kids would try to play us like we were in Special Ed., as if they could clown us for being smart. I slapped a couple of kids up that tried to test me on some he's a nerd sht.
Ed is right
Is this really him? Looks totally different
if you say heard of specail ed to todays youth..... like damn thats his name
Damn I get paid and paid and paid.......I got it made. Understand Special Ed was an M.C. not a rapper
🤦🤦come on vlad, you talk about howie tee and first thing you mentioned about him is sex you up song. Howie Tee is a legendary hip hop producer way before large pro, Pete rock and premo.
ED looks like one of the leaders in the Taliban.
"I got it made" but he was rapping in a junk yard
