Making History | Episode 2: Pete Nice

#cirocpartner "In over 50 years, there has never been one location to preserve and honor the legacy and the history of Hip Hop...” until now. This one goes out to the storytellers, archivists, and historians who have kept the soul of the culture alive.
Rewind the clock. The year is 1985. Pete Nice embarks on his journey as a solo MC - leading to establishing the first Hip Hop radio show with DJ Clark Kent in 1987, becoming a founding member of 3rd Bass, and opening the doors of Hoppoh Recordings in 1992.
Now you can catch Pete collaborating with lucrative artists to preserve the artifacts of Hip Hop. Keep your eyes peeled for his "The Golden Age of Hip Hop 1983-1992: An Illustrative History,” coming soon in collaboration with Paradise Gray.
#DidYouKnow the Prime Minister signed and managed KMD, which featured none other than King Geedorah? #RIPMFDOOM

pete nice is nasty underrated on the mic. he's on my list is the best slept on mcs

[@chadnoswal9243]

You ain’t kiddin’ either. His first verse (and second) in “Words of Wizdom” is unreal. His use of metaphors paints pictures, only rivaled by Rakim (the king himself). Prime Minister Pete is Nice.

[@3rdmin1st3r]

I was really hoping to see him on the Grammys 50th Hip-Hop’ Concert they had a couple weeks back.

[@dedricthere]

He has that very cool original voice too.

[@SodaPopinksi]

Wordz of wisdom Pete nice second verse is absolutely a master class in MCing. Not many people know about it, but when they hear it.....

[@tonysmith5878]

PRIME MINISTER....YOU AGE WELL BRUTHA!!!!!! AND I MISS 3RD BASS AND YOUR LYRICISM.... SALUTE!!!!!!!!!

[@wizcoolc1]

Pete seems like a real cool dude. Hope he does a few more verses before he gets too old. He missed his chance to be on a DOOM track, Czarface is still active, that would be a cool collaboration.

[@3rdmin1st3r]

Maybe he can do something with the Beasties

[@wizcoolc1]

@@3rdmin1st3r they said they are not the Beastie Boys without MCA but would be cool if Ad Rock and Mike D did a song with Pete Nice. That would be classic.

[@hakrj12]

Might I suggest The Lordz of Brooklyn (The Lordz) ... some of them are still making music.

[@mattsheezy5469]

Pete Nice is one of my childhood HipHop Heroes, a true artist. If you want to know why 3rd Bass really broke up, watch the interview with DJ Daddy Rich (hint: Serch’s Wife getting involved in group business).

[@BadLuckLuke]

Pete, stop beefing with Serch, bury the hatchet with Rich, and please please give us a 3rd Bass new album!!!

[@REZNAP]

AYO Pete, you were/are/and always will be... the ILLEST. Massive Respect.

[@jayep.5328]

Pete nice had the illest rhyme cadence. Most definitely underrated and under appreciated. The Cactus album is a classic that is still in my regular rotation. Big up Bishop Ford Falcons.

[@30907bng]

That was my boy Pete Nice, one of the coldest MF'S Ever in hip hop. I copied this dude in high school he had swagger before it became an overused catchphrase!! Shout out to Pete Nice a definite legend.

[@yattamook]

he had a sports memorabilia shop this is what he does

[@pointsur67]

Yes!

[@rapfreak7797]

Big ups to the Minister for coordinating this!!!

[@Something9008]

Derelicts of Dialect is one of my favorite Hip Hop albums, I listened to it so many times.

[@MarcG7424]

The Sinister Prime Minister Pete Nice !!!!

[@ericwilliams1023]

The suits and that cane

[@Rascool69]

Iconic 🏆

[@REZNAP]

Pete had SWAG before SWAG was SWAG

[@dumbledee]

It’s like a real life version of the beginning of CB4!!!!😮

[@Barefoot_Joe]

I must start "collecting" also immediately

[@pervertedalchemist9944]

I find it ironic that Pete Nice is part of a hip hop history collection that is done with Paradise Gray of X-Clan.

[@dumbledee]

Why is that ironic? They were both signed to Def Jam and probably Rush Management in a time when the world of signed Hip Hop acts was extremely small and most artists had at least met a few times.

[@pervertedalchemist9944]

@dumbledee X-Clan wasn't signed to Def Jam - they were signed to Island Records. The reason it is ironic is 3rd Bass and X-Clan were involved in beef. You are aware 3rd Bass went at them twice on their second album, right? Check out the songs "No Master Plan, No Master Race" and "3 Strikes 5000".

[@dumbledee]

@@pervertedalchemist9944 I forgot about the disses, I haven’t listened to either group in years, I swore X Clan was on Def Jam tho 😅 both guys would be in their 50s by now, a silly rap beef would be long forgotten

[@jayshiggs]

Paradise was Pete's first manager which predates the 3rd Bass/X-Clan beef.

[@carolinafine8050]

Maybe it’s like what DJ Daddy Rich says: people liked Pete, they didn’t care for Serch. He tells a story of how the BooYah Tribe would kick it with Pete but not Serch

[@katlarue2186]

Respect, one ove !!

[@jakeganey7032]

I know him he's a nice guy

[@chunli30315]
