Vlad why do you push your thoughts and ideas? You're interviewing these artists right? King T says he wishes he wouldn't have left. Instead of asking why he wishes he wouldn't have left, you say "Even though we just named all these artists... " You do this a lot and it throws me off, because I'm wanting to hear the artists thoughts and reasoning. Luckily, King T pushes through the resistance to his thoughts and tries to explain them anyway. Thanks for all the great interviews by the way, Vlad. Seriously. It's cool that you already know so much about hip-hop and what was going on at the times talked about.
Vlad is more conversations than interviews, which can make him look a little arrogant sometimes but in the long run it makes him the best interviewer in Hip Hop history....point. I think it's more annoying or even disrespectful when he pushes a LEGENDARY rapper to talk about Dr Dre because he can't get Dre in that chair. King Tee is so much mire than à rapper Dre never released, I remember the first time I saw the "at your own risk" video on Yo! MTV Raps....Legendary, a true west coast don...And I always thought Biggie got a lot of his flow from King Tee.
I know why did they scrap that project, was it really due to creative difference's,that would have been a prolific Album I grew up in the Bay Area listening primarily to West Coast underground mid 80's to early 2000's but Eric B and Rakim were two of the best in the buisness ppl say Eric B stifled Rakim's career I beg to differ
I don't think it was that surprising. You look at the way Eminem changed while working for Dre, or the way Xzibit's music started being more gangsta/thug. Rakim has been on a spiritual journey in hip hop for 20 years. and the type of music Dre markets doeasn't align with that. I think Dre wanted Ra to do music that was uncomfortable for Rakim, and Ra is a big enough name to not have to do what Dre pushes.
+JJNova I'm going back to that time when the word was out that Ra joined the Aftermath it was like hell yeah, let's hear it then Rakim verse on Jay Z the watcher was great with Dre's beat. Dre should of just mesh with Rakim. That collaboration could of brought Rakim to the younger generation at that time.
For the record: King T's album that got shelved on aftermath, "Thy Kingdom Come" was a cold ass album. It's arguably a top 10 west coast album....check it out if u havent already
Why has King Tee never made a track with former Geto Boy member Scarface??? Those two making an album together would be an instant classic!!! King Tee has not produced and/or released any new albums or at least a track. He is too great of an artist to not do any current music. King Tee doing an album or track with Scarface would be dope.
The Firm album isn't as bad as people say it is. I heard that isht recently and it's actually gotten better with time. Firm Family, Desperados with Canibus Phone Tap, Firm Biz, Firm All Stars it's money..... Vlad should do more digging, because that album was like the major joint that helped push his label.
Rakim did not want to make the type of music Dre did that's why he left. In fact alot of the beats he was going to use for his album went to 50cent for get rich or die tryin.
Snoop said that’s the thing with working with Dre. But he also said it pushed him to put out his best effort. Producers are like that. They got a fire beat and you’re going nuts on it but then they say nah it’s missing something and they delete the whole track.
Everything Pac said about Dre is the truth, Dre just sits in the studio all day and doesnt drop anything. He should technically be running Hip Hop, just off his relationship with Interscope and the artists he's had.
Dre strikes me as the type who can tell when an artist is ready to release a record and won't release their project until he thinks it's the right time.
+Thatcomment000 hate to be the bearer of bad news bro, but a lot of artists music they put out is old lol. just shows how ahead of time some of them were though. in a sense
CaponeBPM #Facts By the time the general public has heard it, its VERY old to the artist/producer. You wanna talk about artist being ahead of there time? Look at 2pac. He did a song about biggie dying but 2pac died first!! He did the same thing about the world trade center!! THINK about it!
The most disrespectful part of that is if Tee starts name dropping it's Tee not Vlad who will have to deal with the pushback.... It's why people think he's a cop
They are all still around. Dru Down I think went to prison a couple times.. (cant live in fantasy land forever..) it's a shame the price we pay for freedom sometimes..
I don't why King Tee feels any regret or pain leaving Aftermath. Nobody making music at Aftermath anymore lol. If Dr Dre can't squeeze out ONE album from Hip Hop legend Rakim, then it's not the artist should have regret. Dr Dre may be the problem as a producer. Tupac had the same issue w/ Dr Dre as a producer. Just saying.
Beverly Huttinger I definitely feel ur comment 100% hun! King Tee got a nice stock n dis music game he was one of the first rappers frm the west to get air play on the east & da late B.i.g. style was influence off him a gem 4 those that don't know! I feel OG sometime it's is best to stick it out I mean being creative is key to making classics I'm seeing Dre a lil differently! I don't see nothing wrong with challenge ur self as artist or da artists u sign cause u see these majors of today give a fuck bout putting out a body of u get notice more for dumb shit u do on Twitter so...lol💯
Snoop is 100% Jar Jar Binks. Whilst Dre is Lando Carisian.. Seems like a nice guy but really a double crossing prick, but then really does turn out to be a pretty nice guy in the end.
This is gon sound crazy, but I always thought Big Suge was intriguing. The way he moved was very intriguing from the outside looking in. A big tall brotha standing proudly while throwing his power around is just intriguing to me. Ultimately bad for business though. _Dr. Dre Presents: The Aftermath_ is an album that I have to go back and listen to. I think I might've heard it once at my play cousin's house and didn't really like it. I know I loved _Been There, Done That_ though. Vladimir, I'd love a DJ Quik interview. He's a good talker and he's willing to be specific with names, places, etc. Good interview, fellas.
When Tee'la said: "Yo POOH...Let's drop some BASSSS!!!" DJ POOH became My favorite DJ/Producer EVER...King Tee is My favorite EmCee and I am from and raised in Linden, NJ...then Rahway --> home of the infamous prison that I used to live across from! King Tee set it off...Ice T brought the NJ funk to LA; and [King] Tee'la REPRESENTED IT "CALI" STYLE!!! POOH [and LA Posse & "B-CAT (Bobby Bob)"] did for LL!!!
+Drew Slawson I agree but if I was dre though I'd have more belief in releasing my work because of his already proven track record but then again as an artist one always wants to top his last work so I get it
Drew Slawson Dont go there with me son, Prince has a vault full of unreleased music, however he released 39 albums up until his death. 1 album in 20 years doesnt make any sense to me and it doesnt make sense holding on to other peoples music. Dre is getting paid for this production and why not let these people release THEIR music!
i got to hang out with him at his house in Palmdale Ca. had a few beers and cut it up on the 1200's he was real laid back. very good man. wish i had kept up with him.
Her album didn't sell as it should, because of 2 things: - Aftermath got sued for the uncleared sample of "Addictive". - The 2nd single featured R. Kelly at the worst of times.
Paul Revere Funny you said that, I remember thinking back then that all that “gotta follow your sergeant’s directions, or get your ass popped with the Smith & Wesson” talk was just his way of saying Suge was the one really in charge and bossed Dre around, like an expression. I had no idea it was literal.
Part of a strong powerful production company Is it's inhouse producers. back in the early days of NWA Dre wasn't the only producer on board there was Colin Wolfe that did quite a bit of songs from Eazy's album to Niggas 4 Life, he also was heavily involved with Snoop's success. Also there's plenty of others like FOCUS, DAZ, EROTIC-D just to name a few not taking anything away from DRE he's still the MAN but it takes a team to win the game✌🏾
his unreleased Aftermath album was the shit-- !! he had Dre, Quik, Too Short, Mike Dean, Ant Banks, Battlecat, Fredwreck MC Ren, Kool G Rap and even an intro by Ice-T haha
king tee look shook to even mention suge's name..damn. suge still got juice out in these streets.... but anyway that aftermath shit was wack but it still sold cause of who dre is, just like the Compton soundtrack, to me it was weak, but it sold and still got nominated for a grammy cause of who he is. king tee could've been bigger worldwide with dre backing him, just look at his track record, Eminem, 50 cent, Kendrick, dre even gave hits to other artists like knocturnal and truth hurts. so when he puts his stamp on something its gonna do really well. for whatever reason king tee album didn't come out, rakim didn't come out. joell Ortiz and dawn robinson from en vogue had issues with dre when they signed with aftermath too. but dre is still here ontop, the man is a billionaire, so obviously he's doing something right.
Didn't Vlad say Death Row DIDN'T take things to a whole new level after NWA to Charlamagne a few months ago? They argued for a few mins N now Vlad is saying the same thing Charlamagne was lol 1:20
Listen to The Firm today, I promise you will feel differently if you didn’t like it. The Firm is hard as hell, from concept to lyrics to production. Sometimes we miss things because the 90’s were so thick with good artists and good music.
The fact that Dre is "holding those tracks" is just marketing. It is a way to make you think that everything he realese passed a high quality of sound test. Nothing but bullshit. It's not right. Im glad artists are realising their music from their Mac and by themselve today
Yeah, well said. No disrespect to Dr Dre but in a way it's holding the artist back. If King Tee was still on Aftermath, his music would still be sitting in a vault somewhere collecting dust lol.
King Tee should have put out albums in 2013, 2015, and 2017. It makes no sense. King Tee can produce his own beats. If not King Tee could have Tha Chill or even DJ Premier produce his album. At this point I would love to see a Scarface, King Tee, The D.O.C, & MC Ren do an album together. Dr. Dre is a great producer but a HORRIBLE record label owner & executive. Dr Dre reminds of legendary NBA Coach Phil Jackson. One the greatest coaches of all time but a terrible GM. Note to King Tee: Leaving Aftermath Records was no mistake. You would still be there on Aftermath w/ music collecting dust.
Much Props to King Tee. This coming from East New York. Back in the 80's he was one of the few West Coast Kats who got shine in NYC.
Cool
Most definite his tracks gave the Alkaholiks that push they needed.
Because he had skills and he did not have a sloppy flow.
The West Coast didn't need nothing from the East Coast they had the West. South and Midwest on lock.

Smokey: "Only on people he know! He don't be pullin' that shit on them fools around tha corner!"
Suge shoulda been on a beach cruiser that day
classic
omm suge was really just big that boy was pussy underneath hiding behind his weight and temper
I'm pretty sure suge was the inspiration of debo
Makes me wonder if DJ Pooh got the inspiration for Deebo from Suge
The more I listen to Tee.... Verse by verse... Flow and all.... He's easily one of the best to do it.....
My 2 cents....
King T is an awesome guy
MultiMrMiles I concur!
KING TEE was one of the first nationally known cats to come off the west coast....case ya didnt know.. & he discovered the Alkoholics & Xzibit
He seems like a nice guy, but don’t fluff it up. This is the first time most are hearing about him.
Love me some King Tee played like a piano
one of my favorite cube verses.
Aftermath wasn't releasing a King Tee album, they didn't even put out a Rakim album. The business politics at Aftermath put a lot of careers on hold.

U meet afroman too ? lol just kidding I'm from Long Beach
Should have asked him when he dropping more albums lol.
Rakim did not want to make the type of music Dre did that's why he left. In fact alot of the beats he was going to use for his album went to 50cent for get rich or die tryin.
Those beats wouldn't of matched rakims style
That's the problem with being a perfectionist, sometimes it's tunnel vision.

Also there's plenty of others like FOCUS, DAZ, EROTIC-D just to name a few not taking anything away from DRE he's still the MAN but it takes a team to win the game✌🏾
His album he did with aftermath is fire 💥💥💥💥💥💥
his unreleased Aftermath album was the shit-- !!
he had Dre, Quik, Too Short, Mike Dean, Ant Banks, Battlecat, Fredwreck
MC Ren, Kool G Rap and even an intro by Ice-T haha
king tee look shook to even mention suge's name..damn. suge still got juice out in these streets.... but anyway that aftermath shit was wack but it still sold cause of who dre is, just like the Compton soundtrack, to me it was weak, but it sold and still got nominated for a grammy cause of who he is. king tee could've been bigger worldwide with dre backing him, just look at his track record, Eminem, 50 cent, Kendrick, dre even gave hits to other artists like knocturnal and truth hurts. so when he puts his stamp on something its gonna do really well. for whatever reason king tee album didn't come out, rakim didn't come out. joell Ortiz and dawn robinson from en vogue had issues with dre when they signed with aftermath too. but dre is still here ontop, the man is a billionaire, so obviously he's doing something right.
Suge had every shook except for Eazy E , Lil Eazy E, Daz Dillinger, and the dudes that knocked him him out and shot at him.
Add RBX to that too, he told a story where Suge tried to punk him I believe and it did not work. Suge knew who to mess with as said.
I remember hearing they were in Reno. I live 2 blocks from the studio they used. It was called sierra sonics in the basement of a music store.
Staying with Dre is better for the long term of importance while Suge is only good for short term
How’s I miss this legend he had such a dope voice still rock that shit
Didn't Vlad say Death Row DIDN'T take things to a whole new level after NWA to Charlamagne a few months ago? They argued for a few mins N now Vlad is saying the same thing Charlamagne was lol 1:20
Listen to The Firm today, I promise you will feel differently if you didn’t like it. The Firm is hard as hell, from concept to lyrics to production. Sometimes we miss things because the 90’s were so thick with good artists and good music.
Dude reminds me of Khali Muscle lol
“Let’s go dippin, dippin through the streets!”
“Just dippin...Just dippin!”
Am I'm tripping or does King Tee seems nervous?
Shontae B 😂 He looks like he gotta take a shit
Thanks, waiting for the rest of the interview
Used to have the king tee/ice t tape.
roberto bravo... Me too lol
Dr.Dre presents...The Aftermath was a nice album. It's four or five tracks I love on it, King Tee was one.
King Tee = Legend
One of my all time favorites King Tee The Great!
I'm happy he took responsibility for his actions...respect.
I love his spirit... He seem so sweet ...and shy like
Darnetta Brooks on his songs he went hard tho
Vlad way to tell this humble dude that the only project he contributed on aftermath was dre's worst project ever lol
He made some classic tracks on Aftermath. I wish we could get the proper version of his kingdom come album.
The fact that Dre is "holding those tracks" is just marketing. It is a way to make you think that everything he realese passed a high quality of sound test. Nothing but bullshit. It's not right. Im glad artists are realising their music from their Mac and by themselve today
Yeah, well said. No disrespect to Dr Dre but in a way it's holding the artist back. If King Tee was still on Aftermath, his music would still be sitting in a vault somewhere collecting dust lol.
He was real humble in this video. Real guy. much respect
King Tee should have put out albums in 2013, 2015, and 2017. It makes no sense. King Tee can produce his own beats. If not King Tee could have Tha Chill or even DJ Premier produce his album.
At this point I would love to see a Scarface, King Tee, The D.O.C, & MC Ren do an album together.
Dr. Dre is a great producer but a HORRIBLE record label owner & executive. Dr Dre reminds of legendary NBA Coach Phil Jackson. One the greatest coaches of all time
but a terrible GM. Note to King Tee: Leaving Aftermath Records was no mistake. You would still be there on Aftermath w/ music collecting dust.
Busta Rhymes and Raekwon did drop albums on Aftermath
Jay Brown Raekwon never released an album on Aftermath. Busta released one album on Aftermath in 2006
Last Emperor is slept on!
Criminally slept on
Tee is one of the best to ever touch a mic. Cool interview.
