Diamond D Talks Hip Hop History With Ebro And Rosenberg!!

[@tochiRTA]

"Gotta give a shout to the Large Professor/ Thought I lost his number but I left it on my dresser!!!" I fucking love that song to this day! I'm actually looking forward to the new album. "Rap Life" is a dope beat. It just has a great feel. Not trying too hard to be "old school" but still has that boom bap and melodic feel we will always love.

[@Triboro_Gigolo]

diamond d is a legend. good to see him healthy and living. still making dat classic boom bap. love his work...kids before you ever pick up a beat machine, listen to this man's production.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

BEST KEPT SECRET AHHAAHA

[@cavaleer]

Word...

[@delahayenator]

Goosebumps! Listen these tracks still regurlaly! Stunts blunts and hiphop. Came out in 90? Still have the vinyl

[@Ironman79]

If you don't own stunts, blunts & hip-hop, don't post here.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

IM DA BEST KEPT SECRET SO SHUT DA PHUK UP AND PEEP IT ahaha YEA!!! DITC!

[@NevaSellmySoul]

KISS is my shit

[@box5bastard277]

***** greatest beats on a hip hop album ever yell

[@PRTerrorist]

+TwiliteSpeedball79 Word! Even the Ultimate Force album with Master Rob was something special.

[@DestroJJ]

Word Is bond.

[@canibusnj]

A CERTIFIED top ten greatest hip-hop producer!!!!!

[@quidawg7069]

Nothing can touch the "BOOM BAP" era.

[@southjerseysfinest]

big diam hit me every time!! legend in his own right.a lot of classic shit he's done.old & new

[@crisleroi299]

I remember back when artists took ATLEAST a year to put together ONE album. Sometimes 2-3 years. Todays rappers release every song they ever make on mixtapes instead of throwing away the weak shit and keeping the good stuff, and building until they can put together a strong work of art.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

remember when an album also had variety?! lol gangsta, emotional, slow jam, political, etc

[@crisleroi299]

EXACTLY... now its all the same mass produced BS. Nobody takes pride in their music anymore.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Cris LeRoi haha prime example outkast's first album! there was NOTHING like that in 1994! so original and fresh!

[@crisleroi299]

Southernplayalistic, Aquemeni, ATLiens, it was written, reasonable doubt, only built for Cuban links, tical, Ridin Dirty (UGK), Space Age pimpin (8ball/MJG), muddy waters, Doc's da name (Red man), its dark and hell is hot DMX, TO NAME A FEW.

[@AQUAPHREESH193]

Cris LeRoi haha we have the same tastes. I listen to everything from E40 to ATCQ to UGK to Digable Planets to Ice Cube. There are so many classic albums in the 90s its overwhelming! I pride myself on having variety but on the real that Ridin Dirty and 8ball/MJG gets play DAILY!

[@ATABOFACID]

Diamond D track epilogue is one of my favourite hip hop songs ever! Legend for real....

[@riquested619]

Crazy that it still hits and sounds timeless

[@esseen100]

I remember Diamond D living in Atlanta back in '93 working with Dallas Austin.

[@akadatruf]

In my opinion; stunts blunts and hip hop is the most complete,best, pure hip hop album ever.....

[@setondriveable]

Not to nit pick Ebro but for most our intro to Diamond D was when he rapped on Show Bizness by A Tribe Called Quest. Not from his debut album

[@MrRaymondlamarlee]

Word! I was waiting on that reference

[@subscriber10304]

now I understand why I like 90's shit better

[@Logikbombmusik]

LEGENDARY! Period.

[@KeefeLB]

oh we know what you talking 'bout, but my first experience w/ this cat was on Low End Theory October 1991! Where the chorus of F*ck What Ya Heard! had come from!!

[@deanivan3951]

About time you guys had some real hip hop on the show,DIAMOND THE LEGEND.

[@CrisCozy]

Fugess The Score+Diamond D = Classic

[@luvmoney9262]

[@dendproductions]

Dope! Shoutout to Hot 97 for showing real HipHop "Diamond D" real love!

[@TheRoryR21]

Turn the levels down Ebro, that distortion is a killer.

[@ASSman864]

TheRoryR21 it was fine before he slid the mic closer to diamond d

[@monkey2ko5]

BEST PRODUCER ON THE MIC!

[@dmims2779]

Very Educational

[@timgrisham9051]

The Amen drum break is legendary. A whole genre of music drum and bass/jungle is based on it. There's a documentary about the break. The guy who played the drums on that track supposedly was homeless. Whoever owns the publishing probably has gotten paid over the years and the musician literally was out in the cold.

[@Aristadoe]

The term Def Jam was first said by Rammellzee vs. K-Rob - Beat Bop

[@esseen100]

+ARISTADOE The Rebel God - Adding on, "Def" was how kids back in the day that kids would say "Death" to describe how kool(Ill, dope, bad) something was. Like there was a writer in Blade's TC5 writing crew back in the 70s named Death.

[@718jef]

Standing on the shoulders of genius and making a one of a kind sonic collage = sampling. One of the roots of Hip Hop is sampling. Underground Hip Hop...where the roots continue to grow. Real Hip Hop is alive and well.

[@gonzalotoro5092]

diamond d is great classic hip hop for new york !!!!!!

[@bigsexyscorpio]

Great interview with the BEST producer on the mic! A legend in his own right, keeping hip hop alive. The Diam Piece is 🔥🔥🔥

[@kendo512]

I just realised that the realest heads are the ones who can do a collab track which no emcee would decline taking part in, because they all look up to them.

[@nyyanks22]

[@trentrama2645]

Yo ebro, ty fyffe did rump shaker pharell wrote teddy's verse

[@Triboro_Gigolo]

on the single it said ty fyffe. but pharell made the beat and helped teddy on the blackstreet album. teddy discovered the neptunes.

[@BrickCity_101]

***** yea teddy did discover them but NORE put em on the map by hiring them as official producers....

[@trentrama2645]

***** na pharell said on interview with trevor nelson he only wrote the verse ffor the beat. like they gave him familly credit but was only teddy and ty ffyfe. Kenny Ortiz and Nore did alot for the neptunes

[@Triboro_Gigolo]

Trent Rama that's not what I heard. teddy riley discovered them and supposedly had the neptunes co-produce tracks on blackstreet's second album another level.

[@trentrama2645]

***** yo the neptunes and tammy lucas already left the camp by then if you look at the credits there is no neptunes on another level but you will find a bink credit. The neptunes were working with kenny ortiz who helped them with swv ,mc lyte and other placements they were working on album with virgin never came out. However chad played saxophone on jay-z city is mine produced by teddy riley and co produce album mike-e the original neptune member never came out . Not another level

[@jovanblack6217]

What happened to the ten year old

[@nate5980]

DITC!!!!!

[@JeReL19]

Surprisingly I found this boring, but Im open-minded enough to realize he's an important part of the genre and culture. I guess I like the old 90s beef storiez.

[@dareal369]

i hate that 'boom bap' word...stop keeping NY in a box

[@dareal369]

10 years late Diamond! Where you been? I rock with you but cant see this being nothing now. Music has progress too much from this old sound. It was on back in the day tho

[@tochiRTA]

what hip hop are you really into these days? what's doing it for you?
