Daddy-O Tells CLASSIC Stories Of Biggie, Foxy Brown & Lil Kim + LL Cool J Writing For MC Lyte

[@KingPhilip_ULP]

It's so great to hear someone like Daddy-O mention Dolph, Key-Glock, Zaytoven, and Organized Noize. Let's me know the respect level for all parts of Hip-Hop. He truly gets it. 💯

Coming from Atl and growing up on a wide variety of old school hip hop from up North in the 80s, it's very dope to hear the OG DaddyO mention the production style of Organize Noize\Dungeon Family and to be spot on about Rico Wade ,Sleepy Brown and Yoda Ray Murray. Those guys are the legends of the second generation of Hip Hop producers especially being from the south! Good Stuff💯💯

[@dantegood2195]

Great interview. Refreshing to hear an OG that’s not a bitter, resentful bum and doesn’t unnecessarily hate on the current generation nor acts like rap stopped being great after 1989. Also not afraid to admit his era had a lot of ghostwriting goin’ on 🙌🏾

[@esseen100]

He shouldn't have dissed Lil John & Swizz tho. He doesn't understand them. He needs to take his own advice. Ive met Daddy O b4, a few times since the 80s. Can be a grumpy ego maniac, hates on Long Island, Rakim,etc,..

[@iliacademyforex]

It's just a different level of understanding based on experience. If you were there you know the music just sounds watered down. It's like the difference between the old Wendy's, Pizza Hut that you could sit down, or KFC versus what we have today. If you never tasted it, you might think they always were what they are today, buy it's not even close. People aren't just hating. We had it so good that we can't really feel a lot of new things. It's like real cheese vs slices made from vegetable oil. We just know what the movement was and now it's missing.

[@BryantOden]

Wow! I love this interview...Daddy-O has an amazing music pedigree...he knows about every decade of hip-hop/rap music. And can go into detail about songwriting, production and business.

[@FromMemphisToYou]

Daddy-O is my favorite old school hip-hop pioneer because he understands that what's considered "classic" or "golden age" hip-hop was once new, different, and frowned upon by the generation before it so he respects the fact that today's hip-hop is no different so he gives everybody a chance.

I love this interview with my friend, mentor and at times, business partner. He is a vault of Hip Hop knowledge, not to mention technical guru. It's truly a treat to sit and listen to him tell you incredible stories about working with some of Hip Hop's greats. One of my favorites is hearing him tell what actually happened at Quad the night Tupac got shot. He always tells me that I'm stuck on Old School...yes, it's my favorite era and the majority of my clients are from that era. I respect his appreciation and respect for today's artists and producers. That's what makes Daddy-O a great artist and producer himself, because of his critical ear for good music, regardless of the genre or era.

[@jlnolan1]

Wise, Frukwan and my DJ Paul We puttin' competition's back up agaisnt the back of the wall. Stetsa's contribution to Hip Hop is sooooo underrated.
