FIRST TIME HEARING 3rd Base - GAS FACE • REACTION!!!

[@tonydorsett33]

Let me school you on a few things. Back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's we didn't care what color you were, if you are truly down. 3rd Bass was one of those white groups that were down. If you grew up in the culture, respected it and had skills, your color, race didn't matter. One of the big issues I have about today is how everything is put into categories or boxes and if you don't fit a group you can't partake in a certain culture. BTW the last rapper was MF DOOM...R.I.P #oneblood #onelove

[@tonydorsett33]

@@cheapagamer55 What the fuck are you going on about? 😆 I wa speaking in context of the music. BTW Jim Crow ended in 1965 and we are talking about hip hop in the late 80's and early 90's. Relax there talcom x.

[@phonymex3340]

*MF DOOM

[@loneronin79]

That was totally the vibe I got growing up as a rural Canadian, from a lot of the music of the era... Real hip-hop is a 'religion' of peace, love, self-improvement, athletics, DIY, amd freedom... It got weird somewhere along the way... And neither of you are wrong, just, despite how close to 60s Civil Rights it was, it WAS a reflection of what had been fought for, even in the atrocious city conditions of the time... It wasn't open-open, but if you could prove your worth to hip-hop, you were accepted by it...

[@aligaines8476]

Facts.

[@tonydorsett33]

@@loneronin79 I wasn't referring to anything politically racial. I understand fully that America had and still has major problems with racism. My point was about the music. If anyone thinks that hip hip was only black culture, they don't know the history. The inception of hip hop was black, Latino and white. Many white brother and sisters were taggers, writers, DJ's, MC's and B-Boys. Let's not forget that.

I know this is old but I'm glad you realized what groups like 3rd Bass was all about. Their subsequent album Derelicts of Dialect was deeper, maybe not as playful as the first and is still my favorite album they did. They went after Vanilla Ice on that one. Serch was also one of the earlier people that helped bring Nas to fame.

[@the_cheese]

It is impressive that back in the early 1990s 3rd Bass were Woke enough to speak out against injustice against Black people, and on basically their breakout song. The rapper in the chair is Pimp Minister Pete-Nice, the cat with glasses and the tall fade is MC Serch, and the beats are laid down by DJ Richie Rich who was one of the very first DJs America ever saw do full-on turntablism on national TV (remember the Arsenio Hall show?)

[@fnieves01]

Thank you for clearing that up

[@nando68two]

I'm a little bit late to this video but I'm going to hook you up. MC Serch and Pete Nice were white kids that grew up in the hood. They saw the oppression and discrimination first hand. Serch being a Jewish kid got to feel some of it too. So who were those people you didn't recognize in the video. The very first person for the intro looking all wacky was Doug E. Doug the comedian. He was just coming up when he jumped on to be in the video. You might remember him as Sanka in "Cool Runnings" about the Jamaican Bobsled team at the Olympics. He's still acting and doing comedy but he has a nice catalog of work that he's been in. The next person you didn't know the name of was the comedian Gilbert Gottfried. At the time of this video, he was just starting to get recognized but he really blew up after and can be seen in a lot of TV and movies. You asked about that guest rapper towards the end. That was Zev Love X who was a member of KMD at the time. KMD was like a Rap/R&B boyband at the time that never really got big. Zev ended up leaving the group and rebranding himself as MF Doom but faded away without ever getting any airplay. In the video you noticed a lot of other talent, here's why. 3rd Base had a lot of cred and respect for pure and simple talent. They made all kinds of friends within the industry by working WITH other teams rather than against them. They made friends in other production stables. DefJam, Herbie Lovebug's, Prince Paul's, etc etc. And when they went public with their own recordings, they had strong endorsements from these other artists and production companies who sometimes just showed up to the video shoots. Gas Face was 3rd Base's debut video and many of them wanted to be included to show support. The beef with Hammer. There were a lot of rappers who didn't appreciate Hammer for two big reasons. First of all, he was a very talented performer and excellent dancer, no one disputed that. However, unlike other rappers who wrote their own rhymes and laid out their own beats, after Hammer's debut, his production company took care of all that for him. They hired his writers and music production team to do the work for him. The second reason is because he hit the music business lottery. He got signed to a major label and went from street kid to flamboyant diva practically overnight. There are some who argue that he bought dishonor to the craft with his behavior. To add insult to injury, he showed poor judgment and business sense that was an embarrassment for many in the music industry when he literally ended up broke in just a few short years. And then lets discuss the argument of Cultural Appreciation with white rappers. When Vanilla Ice made his first rap video, he literally had to hire Black actors to play his friends. He was a white guy from Florida who grew up in an affluent neighborhood racing motorbikes but he still wanted to rap about a thug life that he never lived. Hmmm, that sounds fishy. Eminem rapped about the life he lived whether it was pretty or ugly. Beastie Boys weren't trying to be street, they wanted to rap about what they knew. Real rappers write what they know and live. MC Serch and Pete Nice came up on our streets and knew our life because they lived in our world and rapped about it. When other rappers were being accused of cultural appropriation, 3rd Base weren't. As someone in his 50's who came up in Brooklyn during the birth of Hip Hop and the B-boy break dancing on the street generation, you just got the inside scoop from someone who was there when it was happening. From what I hear, these days MC Serch is working for a music company or something related to that and Pete Nice runs a sports memorabilia company. And they all lived happily ever after.

[@halfdevoured]

Fun fact: 3rd Bass dissed Beastie Boys on the track "Sons of 3rd Bass," but got destroyed by MCA on the track "Professor Booty." And that was the end of it. In fact, years later, MC search straight up said if they ever made another 3rd Bass album, they'd have to put an apology song to Beastie Boys on it.

[@crs290]

[@thedudeabides4829]

It’s the one that gave them credibility. Their other songs go the comedic route but still contain substance.

The anti-Hammer sentiment came from 2 things. First, Hammer insinuated that he was better than Run DMC and LL Cool J in a verse on "Turn This Motha Out". Plus, Hammer was seen by the "hardcore" MC's as a "poppy" sellout. So, 3rd Bass saw themselves as riding for the culture. This could've went south because Hammer's brother was a Crip and put a hit out on them. They had to hire an OG to travel with them to the West Coast to defuse any conflicts... and there were a few.
