This is a tell tale sign of when Hip Hop was authentic and each region had its own, sound, culture and feel.

[@arios1977]

That’s how it used to be. Now they all sound the same. Same flow, autotune, mumble, beats, all named Lil.

[@chicosworld]

Social media wasn't around back then it is a blessing and a curse

[@bigghoww]

​@chicosworld what was the curse?

[@chicosworld]

@@bigghoww social media in essence made the world smaller and got access to places and things they never would have access to. Made it easier to hear music and ride a wave for clout. You stop sounding like where you from and that is the draw, BEING DIFFERENT 💯

[@bigghoww]

@@chicosworld I thought you meant it was a curse back then. The world is big and should've stayed that way.

[@ericarmstrong8561]

Damn. Herbie went down south and came back with arguably Salt N Pepa's biggest hit. Personally, nothing is better than My Mike Sounds Nice... check one!!!

[@maddpupp8501]

That was my 2nd favorite. Beauty & the Beat was my go to 🔥🔥

My Mic was my first intro to them in 7th grade in DC.

Mane I love kid and play. They made my childhood

[@RAPSNINO]

SAME.

[@silverblackguerrilla4370]

Really? Their albums were from 88-91. EPMD, NWA, Big Daddy Kane, KRS One, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Too Short, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, Doug E. Fresh and Biz Markie were killing sh*t from 88-91. Kid N Play made your childhood though? Ok

[@williemakeit2346]

⁠@@silverblackguerrilla4370Kid n Play made my childhood too, along with some of the others you named. Kid n Play was large, beyond just their music. House Party was an instant classic and I watched their Saturday morning cartoon religiously.

[@gemstonelabs1]

Why did you guys light Christopher Reid so badly??!! that's some bs amateur production!! Shame. Lighting is everything and y'all did him wrong.

[@ChiefDaFlippa]

Herbie Hancock made Push It from coming down south and hearing booty music is crazy...he said he gonna make one of those and he sure did, you can still play Push It at a party and people will lose they minds🤣😂

[@thebettingpublicsportsshow]

Hurby "The Luv Bug" Azor...not Herbie Hancock. And don't edit your comment now. It's too late.

Im listening to Play speak on how NY's demeanor was about other areas and also thinking about how folks trip'n on BiggGipp's reaction to NY and if its making sense to them hearing it..If thats making any sense

[@dnyce8224]

That’s the way it was. You always had to prove yourself first and that was within the city and outside. For example, if you introduced a Brooklyn MC in Manhattan, the Brooklyn dude was going to get boed until he proves himself. Even if you were from up the block, that’s how it was going to go on this bock. Plus, kid and play is commercial. NYC used to be about bars and skills for the most part.

[@AChildofSmokeyhollow]

@@dnyce8224 I don't think sumone like Too$hort (for an example)was seeking approval but stamped his own product with a take it or leave it additude..Sumtimes seeing the rabbit with gun forces others perception.

[@dnyce8224]

@@AChildofSmokeyhollow ..I think most rappers want to rock a crowd and have their music appreciated. Too Short is a legend, but I can name 10 rappers from the Bay who are better rappers than him. The game changed where it’s not the best rapper who excels, but it’s depends on other stuff like production, image, gimmicks, street image, location, cosigns, money, etc. There are true MCs everywhere though. I think Willie D is a true MC.

Why does Kid sound like an old Southern great-grandfather here? I’ve heard him speak in the past and he sounds like a regular dude. He’s layin the country on a lil thick here

Barry Bonds lookin good

[@writerdirect]

I am currently packaging a comedy ; originally written in 1990 for KID AND PLAY ; working through their business manager; SHERI ALPERT; and it is still my hope that once before i die and they die; i can hear them read the play ; do a reading even if its just in a rehearsal room; but fantasy is to get a 199 seat theater and do a reading of the play with them in it ? now its obviously younger people ; but i would love that; that is a fantasy i have

Nah NY (& tri-state at large) knew Geto Boys! I had their cds & 🔥 mix tapes that they were on! Red Alert & Flex kept them in circulation on air & played them in hip hop clubs & anywhere else they dj’d! Plus Geto Boys was part of NY popular radio dj’s west coast lineup

[@williemakeit2346]

Facts we rocked with Geto Boys up here in the tri state 💪🏾

[@dextergilford8336]

Ready Red was from New Jersey and the Geto Boys early sound was heavily influenced by Red’s touch which was thoroughly east coast influenced. That early sound would have been something different without Red. The gritty lyrics was Houston urban life late 80s and early 90s which was grimy, all that candy paint, sippin lean and wearing Versace shades came later. Before that it was the grittiness portrayed in the lyrics; but, Red’s choice of samples paired with the lyrics is what made it special. Shout out to Ready Red from San Anto , Texas/Homestead and Langley on that north side.

[@elektrosoundwave]

I think what they mean is that yeah they knew the music, but they didn't know the people and hadn't seen them control a crowd before.
