The Group/Duo that gave me my introduction to Hip-Hop greatness. EPMD was special.
EPMD… one of my favorite groups. They don’t get enough credit for their impact in Hip Hop. Some of it was due to the success of their respective squads. Redman, Keith Murray, Marley G aka Illegal, K-solo, Das Efx, DJ Scratch.
Greatest duo of all time!! E double E remember seeing him in the D coming out of club downtown riding by saying what’s up doe!! He a big dude and tall😳
Ericks first album was NO PRESSURE!
“No Pressure” I used to bump so much in high school. As I got older I realized the production on his album was good but E’s lyricism wasn’t the best. Certain songs he kept using metaphors he’s like Michael Keaton in Batman and saying he’s the Michael Jackson of rap he’s “Bad” 😂!
There was no blueprint for hip hop back then.
The blueprint now is to be undercover gays
None, people were learning on the job and winging it.
There's always been devils in the music biz. The people with no talent preying on the people with all the talent. Look around they all look the same 😆
Not true many groups had been abused financially flash and furious 5, sugar hill gang,Kurt's blow,etc.... all had major records and made very little off of them. The business is set up to exploit kids poor kids specifically. Or it won't work. Smart educated 2 family home artist don't last long. Check the history of rap from 1979 until now.
Until JAYZ
Great interview by Bag Fuel. E has great stories. EPMD one of my favorite groups all time. Salute!!!!!!
Never seen before, never heard before, the uncut RAW..............................!!!!!!!!!! 👊
6:43 you guys didn't realize what he was getting at. He said I had Reggie Noble which means he had the hottest MC in the game at that time which deserves a round of applause.
I rewinded that part several times. I knew exactly what time he was on. 💥
What's the difference between some New York rappers and Southern rappers you never heard of ? Southern rappers figure out you can buy a 1000 tapes for 400 dollars and sale them for 5 dollars and make 5000. Get DJ Paul on the show to spit game. We still love EPMD...
NY figured the loop hold when they started doing mixtapes like albums
They was forced to do that in the south
The west coast cats was doing that since the 80's
They were the first - basketball players were just starting to get paid in the 80’s. They were young kids and didn’t have the right people.
@@IkeburnneRTrue. Nobody was checking for the south early on in hip hop.
Erick Sermon 🎵🎶💎⛏️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎧🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤😎
E Double!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥 🔥🔥🔥
As a person, who has been in Jamz and Hip Hop Clubs in NYC since 84, I can say what Eric is not really saying: DR DRE! Let me say that again: DR. DRE.
DR. DRE and LA took Erick's FUNK SAMPLE STYLE. It became LA's calling card. Being that Eric had one of the hottest lyriicist in the game, the industry pretty much down played E and promoted DRE. Everyone was running to get a "DRE" BEAT. Part of it was to have LA credibilty and the other was the push inerscope could give. Dr, Dre took Erick's whole style and nobody never said nothing about it. Biting in them days was career ending! How come Dre was able to bite E's style and no one in Hip Hop media not even mention it?
🔥 🔥🔥🔥
There was no pressure. Nga I had Reggie Noble … 👑
💥
AFTER THE 'HEADBANGER' .. 'YOU GOTS 2 CHILL' ..
$750 a piece to sign is CRAZY
parrish was robbing him e was trusting him on the business every body was young
Man, look you gotta do ya own business. Yeah Erick was young? But that nigga had to set PMD up! $5,000 back in them days was alot of money! But the thing is what did they got outta that?! What was they really looking for? Cause the Detective on the Beef II DVD said that if Parrish didn’t left to go out he would’ve wound up being dead. So PMD was lucky asf but I don’t think nobody gotten killed during that shit. They all basically flee when PMD came back.
That's why I get upset with the younger generation. No respect for the struggle of the ones who paved the way. They don't even seem to acknowledge the greed and r@cism attached to those record deals by r@cist record execs back then.
Lyor Cohen is definitely a devil, i don’t get why these young rap niggas even do business with him?
" Just the money?? " Erick looked at him like he was 7: 30
Top 5 Rappers with a speech impediment.
Stop man 😂!
Bottom line Shuma Management had to get paid. Shuma was Parrish business, E only wanted to do music so he had no interest in Shuma Management.
Esso be playing dumb like Vlad to get guys to talk
Yea how would u want 2 work with someone that thinks u robbed them? But anyway everything gets a run.😮
Especially hearing ya own best friend you knew as a child growing up together hired men to robbed you in ya own home. That’s very heartbreaking, PMD don’t look like a guy that’ll rip you off. He said on the Beef II DVD explaining the breakup “My job is wherever I go I make to sure to take E with me.” He was gonna make sure he got his, but what he do with his share is on him 🤷🏾♂️! PMD had a father to teach him about business, which is why he probably saved and was secure. Erick wasn’t interested in knowing the business. So for him to say that he wasn’t tryna to teach any of them in the Hit Squad about the business was bullshit.
I feel like Russell used Erick Sermon once he bailed him out and signed him a solo deal to get him to find other acts for Def Jam. Like c’mon, Def Jam was the label everyone wanted to be in but when ya contract is up you don’t get any of ya publishing. You either go to a new label? Or you just sitting, Erick Sermon had a lot of exposure cause he was a producer. “No Pressure” album I used to bump a lot in high school? But as I got older E’s lyricism wasn’t the best off that album. Certain songs he use same metaphors saying he’s Batman Michael Keaton version and he’s the Michael Jackson of rap cause he’s “Bad” 😂! I don’t even think “Double or Nothing” did numbers like that! If it did it was cause of other features! It was a cool laidback album? But that album was saved by Def Squad being on that shit. The EPMD situation Erick til this day dances around that shit. He felt like he was gonna die lmao 😂! How tf he felt like he was gonna die from being in the duo group with all the dope acts under them? At the end of the day it’s clear to see who was at fault.
Ok so you think it was E's fault? Explain further?
@@BunBloCK26Ion have to explain nothing, this my opinion. Don’t agree then that fine
These European record Executives know exactly what they are doing when it comes to cheating the Black artists out of their money…that’s why understanding & Standing on business is key in this game
What is it no Europeans? It was New Yorkers stop pushing the blame you know goddamn, well. they first deal with the New York independent labor, had nothing to do with Europe. Second deals with Def Jam. we are own worst enemy from Sugarhill record, death, jam, death row, etc.
I keep hearing rumors that executives and others were tryna pit them together. Could it be bigger than that 🤔?
Was good Eric this papi I’m home already remember figgy my dog
