RIP to Magoo!! Shout out to SBI, de beat club, de basement. VA representing!!
Rest In Peace Magoo
Is Magoo the one on the left???
@@macumbinha_gamer16 that's Timbaland and His cousin Pharrell Williams.
I Grew Up With This Group & Look How Far They Came And I Still Have Their Demo Tape On Cassette.
#LLMAGOO 🕊️
Sounds like SBI sampled a lot of famous samples before they were touched by the mainstream.
They were definitely listening to a lot of Tribe at the time. Magoo was doing his best Q-Tip impression and Pharrell was kinda flowing like Phife.
That's how Magoo's voice actually sounds 😂😂😂😂
@@GMANKOOL23no it doesn’t
Right 👍
This Demo Tape should have been an album and is a bonafide classic Rest In Power King Magoo🤴🏽.
Magoo's dead?
you can tell tribe was their favourite
NO MAGOO SLANDER WILL BE TOLERATED!!!!
Mag was and still highly slept on when it comes to his pen game.
@@RockstoneTrizz word, flow was cold too don't get the hate?
He had a q tip tone, nostalgic AF!
R.I.P. Melvin Barcliff aka Maganoo 😢
If a nigga suck then a nigga just suck…. Dead or alive
RIP Magoo
DJ Timmy Tim went from sampling classic MJ to producing damn near a whole album for his idol (Xscape album) 🤯
Yoooo thats wild adding to the countless full circle moments between these two greats
And Pharrell getting fired from every McDonalds in VB, to creating what would become their jingle for the last 20 years lol
a tribe called quest flow!!!
That voice is Magoo
Not abstract qtip
djfunkstabrisbane
But Magoo does sound like Q-Tip. It's no disrespect man.
This shit sound so fresh, even though the quality from 1991.
Wow!!! Timbo & Skateboard P used that MJ "The Lady In My Life" sample, before LL Cool J "Hey Lover" feat. Boyz II Men. I NEVER even knew that.
U learn something new every day.
chill.. not true. you gotta think .. unless ur young af
@@HoodPsychoP3dia
I don't understand what u mean.
I'm 35 so me being young asf is false man lol.
didn't janet use her brother's sample on time flies off of here control album first.
Til this day I feel like Magoo gets overlooked. His sound and flow are one of a kind and literally his voice gives a gooey vibe to the records. Like when you break a hot chocolate chip cookie in half lol 'll always love Pharrell and Tim, but Magoo definitely should've gotten more love
so true. RIP Maggy Noo. so good to hear old gems and vibe out in nostalgia
Flip ya
They need to remaster the tracks and release this whole thing before summer.
Yes asappppp
Same thing I was thinking 😆
The majority of rappers that came up all got some sort of recordings BECAUSE WE ALL NEED TO HEAR HOW OUR VOICE SOUNDS before the world hear us. It takes years to find your own style, we're all influenced by the ones in our era, we imitate what's out, then eventually get annoyed with ourselves for sounding like our inspiration, so the quest is to find your voice, your style your sound, to separate you from anyone else. But when you start off young recording yourself it's a training lesson basically. Only true artist know the trials of trying to find yourself. When your able to actually complete demo's like this young and keep on recording yourself... just like any other practice... you start getting better, but you get better if your annoyed with yourself and you keep striving to find your sound. Usually that sound comes after you turn off all your idols and look in the mirror and BE YOU, RAP LIKE HOW YOU TALK.
I got tapes from 7th grade but WE DID ALL THE INSTRUMENTAL WITH OUR MOUTHS, acapello style like 1950s doo whop, rapping on top. It was a poor mans lesson, we didn't have money for equipment.
It's wild Pharrell 3 years older than me basically my senior in High School I would look up to. It appears Q Tip A Tribe Called Quest also his influence . Looking back everyone out influence any upcoming young artist. Besides Slick Rick Doogie Fresh, Kane, Rakim, LL Cool J , Biz Markie, De La Soul Jungle Brothers, I gotta say A Tribe Called Quest was a big influence Bonita Appelbaum, left my wallet in El Segundo. I remember playing the hell out those tracks in my headphones Bronx NY.
There is really only 2 kinds of worlds in rap. The killer Freestyler and the production artist that try to put albums together.
Looking back, besides LL Cool J Bad... the biggest influence for me was Doogie Fresh Keep Rising To The Top and that little spin dance move he did ... think I was 10 or 11, love of rap started right there. Keep rising to the top because my mind say give it all you got give it all you got :) NEW YORK RAPPERS WERE SO AMAZING BECAUSE EVERY RAPPER HAD A DIFFERENT STYLE, EACH OWNING THEIR OWN. THE GOAL WAS NEVER TO IMITATE BUT TO OUT DO YOUR STYLE. EACH SOUND WAS SO DIFFERENT, DJ, S SOUND TEAM JUST TRYING OUT DO EACH OTHER.
Only thing with this mix is that they hardly rapping, they are basically DJing playing what was out, so not a true demo.
Oh yeah Special Edd I'm The Magnificent. For some reason when your poor and broke with a struggling family... its like the rap songs with empowerment was what I gravitated to. Doogie fresh keep rising to the top, Im the magnificent, New York early rappers had a way of helping your self esteem grow regardless of your situation in life. Wear 2 jeans to school all week, 1 sneaker had to last the entire year... man fuck... focusing on school in materialistic new York was no joke. Hahaha Flashbacks
blablabla..... of course its important to find your voice but you also seem to forget that it can be a hit and a miss by creating your own style. Some make it but many fail./
Yeah, that's very true. Jay-Z used to rap like his mentor Jaz-O and Big Daddy Kane. Big L was a mix of Big Daddy Kane and Lord Finesse. Eminem sounded like Nas & AZ. The Game sounded like Shyne. Hell, I'm from the Bay Area so I used to rap like E-40 in my old songs. All artists use a blueprint to build off of
What I love about this is that it shows that talent, and the skill of creating something excellent, and unique doesn't come instantly. This demo tape is a perfect example of that. Tim and pharrell were different from any producer during the 90s, But during their beginnings in the early 90s you can tell that they were influenced by the sound at the time, but clearly had an idea of what they wanted to do with their sound
Two of the greatest producers of all time.
commercial yes 👍 top 10 commercial 👏 but not over madlib or dilla na.. they under them and under dr gay and gayye
matter fact only 1 of them makes top 6-10 and thats tough call
100%. I sometimes literally cannot believe how good each of them are; it actually blows my mind. Not just for their singles but their album tracks too.
@@HoodPsychoP3dia Wrong. Pharrell (and Chad) easily takes the number one spot, simply because of the effect his style of production changed not only hip-hop at the time but popular music. Timbaland falls maybe around 10th because he caused some changes as well.
Something in the water....
"If Ur Freaky Baby" , "It's Like That" , "Skull Caps & Stripe Shirts" are my favs! I just love that they created this.
Prince Lea indeed it’s good to see how mainstream artists used to sound before they were famous and I see timbaland, Pharrell & magoo was hungry
Sampled that Michael Jackson even before LL Cool J got on it
Right 👍
Magoo spitting like this in 1991 must have sounded crazy to people's ears when you think of where hip-hop was at the time.
He almost sounded like Q tip sometimes
@@aldali724 yeah, it wasn’t crazy to anybody. He definitely sounded like QTip. I think it was just his natural voice but still, it wasn’t an unfamiliar sound.
@@thundorkatI think he’s referring to the content/rhyming pattern, not the sound of his voice
I think people would think it’s Qtip if they didn’t know Magoo existed.
Virginia boys
What?! SBI really had this much music together?! Wow and this didn’t get popular until Tim and skateboard exposed their past...wow
I remember Magoo used to dance with this brother named Lynn from back in the day. Never knew this brother was rapping during the days of Deep Creek high school. That's crazy
N.E.R.D - S.B.I
Uh Uh Uh is an early preview of what Pharrell’s sound would become, from the production to his vocal tone. (Also ,so is If ur freaky baby, peep the shakers sound)🔥🔥🔥🔥
Them boys was dope way back from the jump
Me and my boys made a demo around the same time this one was made. Wish we linked up with SBI back then. We had some fire lyrics but needed beats and sounded kind of like this back then. Thinking of the competition Tim, Magoo, and Pharrell had to face back in the early 90s to become what they became starting years later, these dudes definitely put in there work and earned their stripes. They changed the game with a new sound at the right time, and you can hear the producers in them in this demo. Now they are legends plus Missy. Definitely an inspiration for those who want to see where hard work, patience and raw talent can take you. RIP Magoo, Aaliyah, and Static Major.
*their* ,not there. 😂
@@jayskicksnfits9372 😂 I got one of them right 😂. I got exposed not realizing THERE’s no autocorrect
“The 3rd eyes for thought travel. Tickling the core” awesome lyrics!
This reminds me of my first beats, but my beats had a lot of animals sounds. I let my sister listen to my latest stuff and she said "at least it doesn't have an animal farm running through it". I will never live it down....
lol
This is magic. Missy Elliott’s 2015 interview on Pharrell’s “OTHERtone” podcast brought me here.
Man my boy Magoo before welcome to our world, this is just as classic! Whole album
Even in 1991, they were ahead of their time lol. If this dropped right now, it'll do numbers.
I've been "in search of.." literally. Cant get enough of this! #beatclub #n.e.r.d.
"I got a weight problem, I can't wait to rap"😄😄. This is some good stuff
Omg...this shit sounds soooo good in my car stereo...
OHHHH MY GOD! THE whole thing been looking for years!
Way ahead of their time
That Guru classic verse over I Know You Got Soul Dub is *chef's kiss*
I didn’t know this existed. Thanks for uploading. I wish SBI and CRS would release albums.
Man a CRS album would have been 🔥🔥🔥
Seriously!!
"It's Like That" could've been a hot single!
that sample is crazy!!!
Can you imagine if this group had stood together? We missed out on some gold foreal...
Missed out on Diamond tracks! Fr fr
u wot? you're acting as though 2 of these group members didn't go onto to become some of the greatest producers of all time and give us some of the biggest hits in the last 20 years. We didn't miss out on a thing and I don't see how you think Timbaland or Pharrell's influence could've been any larger had they stayed together lol
Dat would have been 🔥🔥🔥
@@KaizerMan You're right
been lookin for this all my life
obleeque me toooooo
I have sent this to soo many friends cause I never knew.. I feel like I been under a rock
Straight outta VA!
I can die happy now
Is that a BANCO avatar? Repect.
NOBODY EVER REALLY DIES..
it was always their destiny. This is amazing and inspiring
Timbaland and Magoo go way WAY back!!!
Pharrell never ages
He just smokes sages, whilst cavorting with mages, as the lawd deftly turns his pages, boy done earned his wages
That guitar at 13:04 though! 🔥🎸
Magoo is killin' me..
break me up a piece of that KitKat
Damn these boys had the sonics back then, now theyre greats! Legends in the game. Legendary producers! 😊👍
Definitely destined to make they’re own sound and as we know the rest is history.
@@jeterw75*Their* not they're.
@@jayskicksnfits9372 Thanks man. English is my first language 😳
Way ahead of their time with these samples. They were destined for greatness. Anyone know the sample of the Guitar riff came from on the Oooh Beat.
we made it guys .
thank you for uploading this
“Oooh Beat” is dope
I wonder if Missy is doing the vocals
thank you for this
Yes!! I'm totally syked out about this!!! I finally got what I wanted..
*psyched*
"It's Like That" is so fire.
damn Magoo sounds like Q-Tip
They had beef over that

When I was a kid I wanted a box top as high as Pharrell's but my hair is heavy and it'd only get as tall as Timbaland's :*(
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!iGod Knows how long i been looking for this Demo. I remember when DJ Kid Capri drops this. When Hot 97 was not around...he would get on at 8pm on Saturday on 101 FM or it was kiss FM...damn this rite here makes me wanna be a producer again...
the hair is taking me back
@32:00 at first I was like Treach? then it was actually D-Nice. I forgot about D-Nice!
