I never heard this guy before. Sounds good though, I'm gonna check out more of his stuff.

Yeah Badu has procreated with the D.O.C, Andre 3000, Jay Elec and probably others. Not sure if Jay is fully Muslim, but he definitely sides with the "Nation Of Islam" and the further into his career to modern day, he has constantly gotten flack for saying borderline racist things in his raps. His career has taken a turn from mysterious phenom in the 2010s to a rapper most don't want to work with in the current day. And yes, EPs are supposed to be under 30 minute under 7 song releases, but being an independent artist releasing CD-Rs with no record label management, his lack of knowledge in album formatting has him releasing albums but calling them EPs.

Absolute classic! That is everybody's favorite part 😂 Just Blaze can be in the GOAT producers conversation. You reacted to a few of his hits like Jay Z "Song Cry" and "Girls, Girls, Girls, and Fabolous "Breathe."

Great song and reaction. It felt like hip hop was starting to change (for the better) around the time this came out, and this song was a great example of where hip hop was starting to go at that point. I rocked this song on the regular!

Classic song

Classic track. Still on rotation. Exhibit A is my favorite though

You should react to "Magnum Opus" by Top Quality

Just Blaze made bangers after bangers.

One of the greatest beats ever. Fabolous has the best verses over it. Exhibit F

A classic!

That song came out in 1990. As a Boomer you were still in your mid or late 20s to early 30s, so this should be familiar to you. I was only 14 then & I'm 48 now. I love your channel!!

Ghetto pain in real life

Rapsody is real deal. You should check out her music. "Hard To Choose" would be a good one to start with.

On the way in to Boston to see Hozier live just before Covid, my brother put on “Shrunk”. For reference, I’m gen x and grew up listening to everything from Dylan and Zeppelin to The Cars to Metallica and I remember the earliest days of rap. Lyricism always grew in importance to me over the years and at this point, even though I was never huge into rap, Aesop Rock has become my favorite artist in any genre. There’s no one else out their quote like him. For me, the fact that he’s basically my age and from the east coast, has allowed me to connect to the endless pop culture references which he uses to make his various points and tell his stories. “Shrunk” started it for me so I wouldn’t be mad to see it, but I also think “Fryerstarter” would be great. He speaks about discovering a 24 hour donut shop in the early hours of the morning as if it’s a religious experience. Rubi ‘81 is also a masterful bit of suspension building and storytelling.

Mr Scarface 💪 Rest N Peace Guru 🥀🕊️ .........

Salute 💯💯💯💯 Jurassic 5💪👊 ..... great reaction episode 💪👏

Scarface is an incredible artist in his own right

It's been a while since I heard this one, I barely remember it. I think of it more as story telling about stuff that happens as opposed to a gang deterrent. I compare it to something like watching a Tarantino movie. People I know that ended up in gangs and prison were getting into trouble since they were little kids, before gangster rap was even a thought.

Fantastic reaction video! I love Gang Starr. I have another request, could you react to: The Peace Maker by Tony Touch featuring Gang Starr. It's not as deep as this song, but still good. Thanks.😊

CHINO XL THE GREATEST

That Scareface verse....pffff gives me goosebumps. Great reaction. But I think it's time now for the J.Cole - Let Nas down remix ft. Nas I know it's on your list 😉

a great collab

There is a phone call on the album, but it was taken off on some of the greatest hits compilations.

Yeah the album version has the phone conversation right before the track starts. I love this track, I love this album. Classic album! RIP GURU

That sample is from War “deliver the word”

Haven't heard this one since the album was released. Kinda forgot about it. Reminded me of another song for the playlist: Paris - 'Days Of Old'

React to scarface, F you.

what a pleasant surprise. love J5. i have all their albums on CD. ❤

I'd like to see your take on Life Goes On by Long Beach Dub All-Stars featuring Chali.

A similar group that I love is Blackalicious great alternative hiphop group

Nice reaction Brian. J5 music just puts you in a good vibe

DMX EARL SIMMONS Did something everyone of us, need to do on a daily. 1.Speak to God, reason with HIM. 2.Admit and acknowledge our shortfalls and rely upon HIM for guidance and wisdom. 3.Upon discovering the truth, then we are longer afraid of death, because His words promise us that That whomever is willing to give up his or her life to follower God and His law, that person has already regained their lives back eternally. Hance I'm ready to meet HIM.

Underrated fight song: "Itchy Finger" by Killa Klan Kaze

I remember bumping J5 during my adolescence, love this reaction. Have you listened to or been suggested Freddie Gibbs and Mach-Hommy. If not, I highly recommend

React to 2pac- Unconditional Love 🙌🏼🔥

It’s always fun to see your reactions to some of my favorite bangers. Nice job!

Classic! I love J5. Great reaction.

Love J5, positive, back to the old school, party hip hop music. They brought the dj back. They also had an amazing live show. This reaction made my day. Thanks

Speaking of The Good Life Cafe, you must check out “Pistol Grip Pump” by Volume 10.

Have you seen any of the theories/"evidence" that J5 consists of actually dead rappers who all faked their death?Akil is 2pac, Chali is Khadafi, Soup is Biggie and last dude is Eazy E.Funny as hell man and so many people are convinced and actually believe it.Akil been faking it for years though.

You would be familiar with The Good Life Cafe from your reactions to Freestyle Fellowship and Skee-Lo

Charli 2na was the real star of J5, with his deep voice and smooth multi-sylabic flow. My favourite J5 song is 'Day at the Races'. A super-charged banga for speeding in your car featuring Big Daddy Kane and Percee P.

❤❤❤

Knew you'd like this one from Outkast.

Wow, I never knew there was more than 1 version! Freddy Krueger was so iconic! Will Smith was the king of comedy rap, and perfect for those of us still of elementary school age! 😂 He was perfect for that tv show too. That's another reason why the Chris Rock slap was so shocking, him of all rappers?! "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson" and "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble" are some other funny songs from them. Ironically, it was another rap song around that same time, by 2 Live Crew that sampled and mocked Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman", that led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling that parody is an excusable use of copyrighted material without permission. So the legal fight with this song could have been avoided if not for timing. Now skit/sketch comedians everywhere can thank hiphop for their lawsuit-free right to parody!

its a cool rap and has biggie doing the last verses. nice that a polar daddy like yourself is a reviewer

the video is fire too. i see you got that restless hands syndrome again lol

You gotta see the video of this featuring Anthrax
