Def jam matter fact, universal because they owned Loud records,def jam and Interscope records, and Russell sold def jam in 93 they just still had him as the president..
@JayWerx the FBA is going to be vexed with this comment 🤦🏾 Apologies. I meant some. Not the whole organisation. Fat Joe, see how that works. If you make the wrong comment, apologise.
That inspecktah deck album getting flooded was the saddest lost to ever happen in hip hop debut history,i really wonder how amazing diamond jewels songs abd lyrics inspecktah deck unleashed on the debut album , fucket decks solo motion till this date , what a bad luck , hurt me more watching how it went down in the wutang series final episode the second season, if only rza had checked the basement earlier. 😔😔😔🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Yo great comment, loved watching the series. Deck is the most underrated in hip hop history! Don’t get me wrong I love Uncontrolled Substance, but that was 98. I know the one that got flooded had to have more of that 95-96 sound, and Deck was amazing in those days(he always was). Salute
He was talkin pre WU, which was Words From a Genius. It was a flop and not a great album. Come Do Me sounded like Teddy Riley produced it. Liquid Swords doesn’t even sound like it was from the same artist
LOUD Records. My favorite Hip-Hop label ever. From Wu Tang to Cella Dwellas and all acts in between. Lord knows i miss them days. Much love from the 313👍👍👍
Dudes like Umar Johnson would call this man a culture vulture because he’s white. But without this dude, we may not have heard Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. This dude and MC Serch were monumental in bringing hip hop to the forefront in NYC. Much respect
Bruh I heard stories about the flood in RZAs basement. The Rebel INS album that was lost SMH. What could've been! Even though he still gave us legendary bars that lost album. Sick to my stomach.
It’s about time GAT MURDER 🎙️ stepped on 🎙️🔥 to show the rest of the world outside of the East Coast that you got bars💯💯 salute from the bay West Oak Cali✌🏾
It’s just something about Gat that when he raps It seems like he’s just trying too hard idk but it’s not clicking for me sorry but in the words of a NY nigha I can’t jack dis shyt 😂
well i guess Dame throwin a hissy fit in Def Jam is childs play compared to Steve, man throwin chairs through windows sheesh. however it's interesting Steve's thought process back then- nah homeboy the person on the street who caught that chair would be the one ded. i got an idea ill shave my head ill get Rifkind, me, and Lobel on an album. Onyx name is allready taken hmmm, call us Pearl!!!
Even though he is talking hypothetical about stepping on necks....A (cop) but his knee on a FBA's (Fonadational Black Americans) neck and caused his demise....math hoffa the math is not mathing with you
@JamaicanToast black americans crashed out for you judging by your name you must be Jamaicans right...we black americans fought for you...the legislation that was signed in the 1960s had provisions for immigrants such as your love ones to come here in the 1970s...be more sensative to the people that helped you get here
@Mathhoffa Why don’t you be fair and invite Tariq Nasheed who put out a Movie on Hip Hop to respond to fat Joe and answer your questions and statements
Steve Rifkind is a music executive that signed Mobb Deep, Dead Prez, Wu Tang, Big Pun, Tha Alkolics. His contributions to Hip Hop is greater than anything Vlad has ever done.
Loud Records had one of the best rosters in Hip-Hop history, salute to Steve Rifkind. Staff was legendary too
Def jam matter fact, universal because they owned Loud records,def jam and Interscope records, and Russell sold def jam in 93 they just still had him as the president..
Steve is 62 years old and looks 45..legend lol
ACTUAL INTERVIEW STARTS HERE 1:36
Spoiler alert
This man’s contribution was monumental to the culture.
Steve Rifkin is a true king in this game
@JayWerx the FBA is going to be vexed with this comment 🤦🏾 Apologies. I meant some. Not the whole organisation.
Fat Joe, see how that works. If you make the wrong comment, apologise.
Not in fba’s eyes😂😂😂
Long as you recognize it as “contributed” then there’s no issue. #ContributionAndCreation #AreTwoDifferentThings #FBAsStayLivingRentFree
Dude looks very healthy for a 62 year old! 👏👏
He’s coloring his beard for sure
@@eugene3484 he with that Botox too though? Because this dude got damn near zero lines & no bags under the eyes or nothing
@@joojoobaw I caught that to. Must be on a good diet from what I hear food can cause you to age quicker
@@eugene3484well he did say he knew Russ so maybe he got put on some herbs and vegan ish
@@eugene3484Still doesn't matter. Check the skin. It's the largest organ and tells a lot. I thought he was younger.
"I'm a promotion man" is a bar. Nobody was doing it like Steve Rifkind. All the other labels eventually followed his lead as far as marketing goes.
Wow, the effort here is next level. Totally love it.
8:40 "So you flooded RZA basement" 🤔 Nice 1 Math 😅😅😅
Homie had Mobb deep, Wu, and Pun. 🔥🔥🔥
Three 6 Mafia, M.O.P. Tha Liks, The Beatnuts. The list goes on & on of the great artists on that label.
Yup. At that time they just couldn't lose with that all star roster of talent.
@@mikedabeast360No doubt, I'd forgotten. Well said.
Tha liks and dead prez 2 🔥🔥
Xzibit
We ask please...shorten the intro!
Really enjoy your style, this is so refreshing. Keep it up!
Loud Records was notorious for putting out boom bap from pure lyricists like Wu-Tang Clan, Big Pun, Xzibit, Mobb Deep & others.

Album was wack tho

I know😩
mecca doesn't know what he's talkin about. gza liquid swords to this day is 1 of the best albums I've ever heard.
He was talkin pre WU, which was Words From a Genius. It was a flop and not a great album.
Come Do Me sounded like Teddy Riley produced it. Liquid Swords doesn’t even sound like it was from the same artist
LOUD Records. My favorite Hip-Hop label ever. From Wu Tang to Cella Dwellas and all acts in between. Lord knows i miss them days. Much love from the 313👍👍👍
Xzibit, Wu, Mobb, Pun, dead prez, Beatnuts, Liks..Loud's roster was serious AF
Dudes like Umar Johnson would call this man a culture vulture because he’s white. But without this dude, we may not have heard Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. This dude and MC Serch were monumental in bringing hip hop to the forefront in NYC. Much respect
I remember those enhanced CD album... it was always a joy to play loud records cd on a computer just to see the additional multimedia content
My respect for Steve went up because Deck says the same thing pretty much as it pertains to dropping his solo… the flood.
Loud had a good run 🔥
93 - 02
Steve looks exactly like Celph Titled (one of the Dopest underground MC’s ever).
Sounds exactly like something that a dude called “Matt Sheezy” would say
Is Celph from Jersey?
Love Steve Rifkind interviews. Always dropping gems.
I swear, the Gat Taylor intro is addicting.
Hi Kim, hi Hoffa hi everybody, " Happy Holidays" 🎁🎄😁
Bruh I heard stories about the flood in RZAs basement. The Rebel INS album that was lost SMH. What could've been! Even though he still gave us legendary bars that lost album. Sick to my stomach.
Man, some great stories. Would have loved to hear how Inspectah Deck’s album would have sounded like…I’m sure it was a true GEM 💎.
8:55 Ouch! The Rebel INS, the GOAT!
Loud was my favorite label!!! From Wu 36 chambers, Purple tape, Infamous album, Pun and Don’t forget M.O.P Warriors album 🔥
It’s about time GAT MURDER 🎙️ stepped on 🎙️🔥 to show the rest of the world outside of the East Coast that you got bars💯💯 salute from the bay West Oak Cali✌🏾
Mobb Deep, Wu Tang, Alkaholiks, XZIBIT, Dead Prez, Big Pun, Beatnuts, Pete Rock, Delinquent Habits, Krayzie Bone & Three 6 Mafia🔥🔥🔥 Incredible roster
Ppl hate on the long intros but I think this Gat Murdah song 🔥🫡
Why he put Axel Leon on the shelf 🤔 When Axel Leon is super 🔥 He just violated Justin credible’s freestyle…
I fast forward to gat verse all day lol
Interview starts at 1:36 y’all
Math please you owe us an apology 🇮🇶 brus
I remember having them enhanced cds for mobb deep and xzibit😂
Dude was definitely a visionary....
dead prez ..food clothes and shelter on that loud tape ...shit was nutz
Listen to the names of the executives making money decisions in our culture. Heavy Jewish grip. No emotions just facts.
Max B influence on the intro
Thank God I watched til the end so could see ol boi rhyme. That song should always end every episode I’m sorry
1:36 To skip the music.
FBA MATH TEATHER 🪶
Still in your feelings about Fatjoe? 😅
Intro wasn't good at all don't let the music mess up the vibe of the channel do it somewhere else you got enough subscribers to separate it
If Chris Distefano shaved his head and grew a beard
Rae only on 1 song on Meth album😒
GZA had the best WU solo album.
It’s just something about Gat that when he raps It seems like he’s just trying too hard idk but it’s not clicking for me sorry but in the words of a NY nigha I can’t jack dis shyt 😂
steve has a horrid dye job on his beard
This nyccah is a horrible story teller.😂😂😂😂
Finally
I don't be digging all the joints, Gat went crazy on that one!!!!
well i guess Dame throwin a hissy fit in Def Jam is childs play compared to Steve, man throwin chairs through windows sheesh. however it's interesting Steve's thought process back then- nah homeboy the person on the street who caught that chair would be the one ded. i got an idea ill shave my head ill get Rifkind, me, and Lobel on an album. Onyx name is allready taken hmmm, call us Pearl!!!
firt album "The Steve Kerr Theory Vol. 1"
Oh wow… you sound batshit crazy

DJ Drama
They got no money……..
These intros are beyond cringey
What's wrong with the intro? He promotes a fashion outlet in NY in addition to a little 8 bar freestyle. Big deal 🤷🏾♂️
HOFF, NOBODY LISTENING TO THAT GARBAGE MUSIC AT THE BEGINNING. WE TIRED OF SKIPPING, PLEASE REMOVE THAT.
Wht guys tell the worst stories
Even though he is talking hypothetical about stepping on necks....A (cop) but his knee on a FBA's (Fonadational Black Americans) neck and caused his demise....math hoffa the math is not mathing with you
You are pathetic 😂😂😂😂😂
So what do you want him to do Crash out every time a guest says something? Why don't you build your own platform, then you can do what you want.
@JamaicanToast black americans crashed out for you judging by your name you must be Jamaicans right...we black americans fought for you...the legislation that was signed in the 1960s had provisions for immigrants such as your love ones to come here in the 1970s...be more sensative to the people that helped you get here
More FBA bs again. Can y'all chill with this 🤡 ish. Nobody cares but you.
Word on the street. He part of the Diddy gatekeepers
Chances are high
@Mathhoffa Why don’t you be fair and invite Tariq Nasheed who put out a Movie on Hip Hop to respond to fat Joe and answer your questions and statements
This is a Hip Hop podcast. That Tariq stuff is sideline personal stuff about people's egos. What has Tariq contributed to Hip Hop 🤔
To exploit* Hip Hop
Why bring a toxic divisive 🤡 on.
Look at this bootleg Vlad
Tells me you just don’t know any better 😅
Someone is a casual
Bro you have no idea who this man is
Steve Rifkind is a music executive that signed Mobb Deep, Dead Prez, Wu Tang, Big Pun, Tha Alkolics. His contributions to Hip Hop is greater than anything Vlad has ever done.
You obviously don't know who this man is and what a legend he is, so just STFU.
~The Legend Steve Rifkin🦾💰💰💡⚡️💡💰💡💡💡🦾
My god dudes raps are trash
