I was getting ready to say if they had joined Dungeon family, they would have none how to market them easily 🤔 I think I know every song off their first album by memory, uptown Saturday night is one of the few albums I would listen to from beginning to the end.
Thier rhyme schemes were way ahead of its time. Most people that I played camp lo in front of back then always said “ what the f are these nggas saying “
Good Choice for a Stunted Growth.That first album is a classic. Camp Lo was like the NY'ers version of Outkast.They had the their own sound that is unique to them and hard to imitate, because of their flow cadence and choice of beats.
Camp Lo were more so overshadowed by groups like The Fugees, The Roots & Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) in my opinion. If they would've connected with someone like Q-Tip, a Legendary Producer who knows the music industry well, they would've garnered more success & longevity!! 🤔🤔
You’re right. They definitely would have fit in perfectly with the Native Tongues just like they did when they worked with Ishmal a.k.a. Butterfly from Digable Planets.
@glennjackson3581 that's a lie. Not 1 big line on reasonable doubt. 2. Camp lo lp dropped AFTER reasonable doubt. 3. I know you're gonna bring up the feeling it beat. You hear jay vocals on the beat their rapping on. 4. For every big quote I can name you a jay song or verse better. The jay slander gotta stop
Finally, you actually did them. Dude, I thought you wouldn't ever bring up this Dope Group. Camp-Lo and Da Bushbabbies was so dope back in the days. Thank You for doing The Lo..
I just mentioned this ! They fucked up by not dropping more radio friendly/fly rap records. That’s all they needed and a varied production and they’d be talked about as much as Mobb Deep, and OutKast.
One of my favorite groups still today. Coolie High was my vibe. Luchini, Bright Lights, You, Black Jesus! "dancing with damsels in Zanzibar", "Cleopatra in a casino with gold sugar". I love dem boys since high school. And I was in high school in the 90's
Camp Lo is a great duo from the 90s. They had a lot of talent and continue to make great music even when nobody else hears it. I always loved the duo and they have always been overlooked as the greatest duo of all time in hip hop.
I also think the lingo made it hard for people to understand but if you’re willing to dig deeper into the culture then you will understand everything their saying.
Luchini probably the only song I been willingly listening to since I was a child where I can’t recite one full verse… and I personally dnt know anybody else who can 😂 that’s a testament to how much of a vibe that song is.. if you can karaoke this entire song word for word, u goated in my eyes..
@@DblTap317 🤦🏿♂️for as long as I been familiar with the song & listening to it, which has been 20 plus years, I still don’t know it word for word.. which is rare for a song I liked for that long..
Their whole style was awesome, i use to rock uptown Saturday night from front to back, in fact that was the last tape i bought because i car had a tape deck. I thought they quit rapping after their second album. I love youtube, they are having you reliving all my past. 😊
Definitely an underrated duo. Their styles worked well each other, sonically it always made sense on their tracks. Apart of me thinks they got blackballed due to the thought that Jay may have been inspired by them. IMO They are a Top 10 Hip-Hop duo right at #6 or #7 🤔🤔
Camp Lo has been one of my favorite groups since Coolie High and Luchini dropped. I remember seeing those videos on Yo! and on BET Hit List and being like "Yo WTF is this!" I was so excited for what was to come from them. I was about 11/12 years old in 1997. I have followed these dudes at every stage of their career and have always been telling ppl, during high school as well as college and since being an adult (Napster days, Limewire days, Imeem and Myspace days, MP3 days, okayplayer days and into streaming to the present) how they were one of the greatet duos if youre going off of creativity and being innovative and simply being dope. I met them twice and have seen them live 3 times. Its tragic how the industry tries to dictate to us what is dope but then will just say its business as if they dont force ppl to like stupid shit everyday...nah real hip hop fans advocate for what is dope and everybone else takes whatever you give them and are easily controlled by narratives and all of the marketing etc. Things could have been different not just for Camp Lo but for other truly dope artists if ppl in control of the business side knew what the fuck they were tslking about. Salute to Camp Lo!
It was a group out of D.C named Question Mark Asylum. They were the 1st Hip Hop group out of D.C. to be signed to a major label. Can you do a "Stunted Growth Music" on them?
Luchini AKA This Is It will forever be a classic beat from the 90s and a overall classic song for its time with the legendary sample and the 70s aesthetic for the video. I was just 4 or 5 when it came out and it's a song that when I hear it, it brings me back to a particular time 😊
People don't appreciate what they should, this is one of them groups that send you on a trip lyrically glad they did not dumb it down for anyone. They still making records today don't be fooled by the Major Labels. They probably stood their ground and were black balled for it more then likely.
Growing up in West Florida in the '80s and '90s, I remember the first time i heard Luchini on the radio, probably about '96 or so. I always likened Camp Lo to New York's equivalent of OutKast. Still to this day I wish the two groups could have done a collab...then again, aint enough wax in the world to contain THAT level of pure artistry. Also, Uptown Saturday Night remains a six-mic classic.
Sonny Cheba is still one of the coldest mcs ever. Jay z took that man whole style on his first album, reasonable doubt. Then he took young Chris flow from young gunz. Hit me up bro I’m a hip hop encyclopedia
A hip hop lying encyclopedia. If he took young Chris flow, why he ain’t blow up off his own style then? Hov already responded to this bullshit on the song “What They Gonna Do”
How he take somebody style and do it better then them? Hov just evolved with the flow, he saw that rappin fast shit wasn’t gonna sell so he switched up the flow
@@benhillSWATS Chris couldn’t blow up because JayZ took his shit. Why you think young Chris the only SP nigga that still be at the brunch and on the scene? Stoppp
@@benhillSWATSy’all really don’t know anything about hip hop frfr y’all just be fans of certain niggas. Just do the research the information is out there.
They're in my top 5 rap groups of all time. They definitely should've been bigger but still glad they're still active in the game. The first album is a classic of course but they dropped some other bangers since. Love the 80 Blocks From Tiffany's albums they did with Pete Rock.
They were so dope. Their delivery, personalities, and rhymes. I remember one of their lines going "incisions are given to those riddlin' my underground diamond division."
For Camp Lo to be sooo good people put them under the novelty category... While true Hip Hop heads was listening to their barz, Majority of people looked at them as being obsessed with the 70s... But this happened to alot of 90s rappers though
You really glossed over Camp Lo's first big banger that was "Coolie High", another Ski Beats production, I believe, that set up " Luchini (this is it)". Its a forgotten classic. PEERIOD!!!!! 👌🏾👍🏽🙏🏾
Definitely one of my favorite albums ever from them, I may want to get more of their works in the near future. Uptown Saturday Night is pretty much a classic!
Still one of my top 5 favorite rap groups and #1 underground group to this day. First album was a classic but they also had a bunch of other ones that flew way under the radar.
Excellent episode!!! My nephew turned me onto them back then. I didn’t think they had a chance. I was clearly WRONG!!! I ran their first cassette into the ground!!! That was my Driving Music!😁👍🏽👍🏽
Man I've always felt that they weren't given the true credit they deserved. Luchini was incredible, hell still is. Sugar Streets was another song I loved. Can't forget Coolie High. Loved the video as I was just telling someone about them the other day.
I was just listening to the stellar project 80 Blocks From Tiffany's 2 High Times is a classic. I still play Coolie High at least once month. On The Way Uptown is amazing as well.
This is still one of my favorite groups of all-time. And little do cats know, but they’ve been putting out alot of dope albums over the past few years.
They were like a Bronx OutKast. Two individuals with their own styles who complimented each other perfectly. They still put out fire projects. Rag Times High Times is fantastic. And Geechi Suede solo projects have some classics scattered among them
I love Camp Lo. Luchini is one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time. Play it at any function and imma do the meanest bop while singing it with my chest!! lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lyrically still one of the dopest of their era. This is it one of the best hip hop songs of the 90s imo.
I could've sworn you've already done a stunted growth on Camp Lo.
Mos definit
I agree. I had their tape.
camp lo deserves their flowers 💐
@BlackMusicGenre he did one on K Camp, ik sounds confusing but he never did one on camp lo til now
Camp Lo is the Outkast of the East Coast without imitating Outkast❤
I was getting ready to say if they had joined Dungeon family, they would have none how to market them easily 🤔 I think I know every song off their first album by memory, uptown Saturday night is one of the few albums I would listen to from beginning to the end.
25+ later... that debut album still bangs and it was ahead of its time!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
facts
True indeed
Certified classic 💯
Luchini is a top 5 hip hop song. That beat is immaculate
I loved it. I played that song a 1000 times.
Luchini, Coolie High, Black Connection, and Life I love are my faves
5 is crazy😂
Top 50 fasho
One of the better contributions and a certified classic
Samples Dynasty adventures in the land of music
the lyrics were beyond its time 🔥🔥🔥🫡
Camp.Lo was fire 🔥
That first album 🔥
You're everywhere 😂😂

stunted growth or not that first album is a classic and timeless!!
I never thought about it....but yeah kind of

One of the most underrated duos. Them and Ski on Production was magic

I think they was in the same circles as de la soul w Trugoy (R.i.p) being on they first album and them touring with them but nothing outside of that
Literally my FAVORITE duo of ALL TIME. Jay Z definitely bit Sonny Cheeba
😂😂😂😂😂 what verses sound like cheeba? What flow 😂😂😂😂😂
He's been biting everybody's bars back then he bit from biggie and the list goes on from he bit styles of rhyming in the rap game facts!!!!!

Camp-Lo and Da Bushbabbies was so dope back in the days.
Thank You for doing The Lo..
I 2nd this comment.
I only requested this a couple years ago. 🤦🏾♂️
Camp Lo is still dope. The 80 blocks from Tiffany’s, Another Heist and Sonny Cheeba’s Can I get a Light is still good.
ONG 🔥🔥🔥
Bro Another Heist was a classic joint!! 💯
They could’ve fit in with the Kanye era, the soul samples were still popping then. Remember when Common dropped the Be album?
I just mentioned this !
They fucked up by not dropping more radio friendly/fly rap records.
That’s all they needed and a varied production and they’d be talked about as much as Mobb Deep, and OutKast.
YOU'RE absolutely RIGHT!! The couldve done songs with DeAngelo back in the Neo Soul era.
One of my favorite groups still today. Coolie High was my vibe. Luchini, Bright Lights, You, Black Jesus! "dancing with damsels in Zanzibar", "Cleopatra in a casino with gold sugar". I love dem boys since high school. And I was in high school in the 90's

Okay let’s get it!😎🔥I love Camp Lo! I could listen to “Coolie High” on repeat forever, such a vibe🙌🏾
I still play their debut album

this is it what, luchini falling out the sky lets get rich what! My shit. (even though I never understood what the hell they was talking out) lol
Camp Lo still makes music and they're still great. Do not sleep on their newer group and Solo albums.
Great video. You should do Group Home next.
This was a long overdue one for sure🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would love to see one on Goodie Mob or 8ball and Mjg
Did Goodie Mob already
I still have most of their songs on my Spotify playlist! I loved that CD.
Their whole style was awesome, i use to rock uptown Saturday night from front to back, in fact that was the last tape i bought because i car had a tape deck. I thought they quit rapping after their second album. I love youtube, they are having you reliving all my past. 😊
Curren$y was the one who revived Ski Beatz career. Those beats on that first Camp Lo CD were very smooth
“Raps I bust, problems with my life, don’t discuss, coupes and leer jets, I lust em” Man, I love that song!
The girls i knew back then where deep into hip hop. They all said they reminded them too much of Outkast. I was dumbfounded. Lo Life forever
their 2008 album, "Stone and Rob: Caught On Tape", is a slept on classic
Diamond Crooks was hot
Facts. Apple Juice Kid work was pretty dope too.
Definitely an underrated duo. Their styles worked well each other, sonically it always made sense on their tracks.
Apart of me thinks they got blackballed due to the thought that Jay may have been inspired by them.
IMO They are a Top 10 Hip-Hop duo right at #6 or #7 🤔🤔
My favorite duo of all time personally. They top 5
Appreciate you bro! 🔥🔥 fire analysis as always

Woooooo deep cut

The background music for these series of videos is the type of music I can hear Camp Lo flowing over.
I met these cats back in 2003 in Seattle,they used to be with my big potna Ismail Butler AKA Butterfly 🦋 from Digable Planets...
Swing was a classic, so dope

Did you do Da Bush Babees? If so please link it.
I still remember my 11th grade year n Luchini dropped. There was nothing like these cats ever in hiphop.
They were already cooked but their 3rd album should’ve been “a piece of the action” since they were taking the Cosby/portier movie titles
Feeling it definitely feels like a camp lo song
Of course, because they have the same producer
And it WAS a Camp Lo song, Jay heard it and jacked the beat. Ski gave it up.
PLEASE bring back the Lost Boyz feature.
Three Times Dope out of philly
Had no idea they put out more material. Gonna search for it. Hey can you do one on Jean Grae and Lin Que/Isis?
Big salute to this channel this guy does his homework on these artist
Camp Lo still great and outside 🗽
Even now when you watch their Luccini video , it’s as if you’re watching a genre by itself.
That first album was a straight classic. Times have really changed 😕
Such a dope and slept on yet appreciated by hip hop heads at the same time type of group. Dope 🔥👌🏽
