MC Serch on MC Hammer Hit, Nas, Jay Z, Bushwick Bill, 3rd Bass (Full Interview)

[@GustoTheGamer]

This guy doesn’t need questions. Tells the whole story without a question. Great story teller .

[@TheWrathOfBlackJesus]

It’s because almost every word is a lie. He changes his stories every single time interviewed.

[@andyeaston8640]

He definitely tells stories

[@kevingarris198]

I know there are no absolutes, but I've yet to meet a New Yorker who wasn't a great story teller.

[@kingofthehill9177]

Everytime he mentions a name who has passed he says “ rest in peace “ right after. I like this guy

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

That's very usual in catholic culture. Not RIP someone that has died, or has been dead for a while, now, it's very disrespectful.

[@corlion29]

@@10.11.9 he actually is white. His ancestors are Russian(khazars) or german(ashkenazi) Russian none the less. The ashkenazi migrated from Russia to Germany. Both groups are from the seed of esau. Neither are YAHS chosen people. But u knew that already. Trying to steal your birth right back after you sold it for a bowl of pottage meant your birth right didnt mean anything to u. For that reason is why that unwanted birth right got passed to Jacob.....the socalled African American man and woman aka the children of Israel. If u dont believe me or like it, ask YAH.

[@MrMG76]

True he was the first artist I bought a cd from...That's crazy come to think of it as a black man..but he was poppin with Here i come and that back to the grill again joint with Nas...But I liked the facts that he shut Vlad's ass kissing down quick

[@NachtSchreck13]

I have a lot of respect for Serch. My uncle, who was only a few years older than me and was basically like my big brother, and who had gotten me into Hip-Hop music in the winter of 83/84), loved 3rd Bass and rocked them constantly. Seeing/hearing him gives me nostalgia for 89/90 - which was a very rough 2 years for me, but a time whose magic resonated above all the bullshit.

[@Beau_Amoureux]

MC Serch is a very genuine, authentic, believable person. I can tell there's no bullshitting in this guy... I like that! 🤔

[@bigbubba4184]

He doesnt get the hate and disrespect he deserves in my opinion

[@uncledirtnap1]

Serch is a legend. Facts! He may be humble to a fault. 3rd Bass was a huge influence for me personally. The first song I ever wrote in like 90 maybe 91 was called "Rip the Mic" and the breaks between verses was my DJ cutting on Serch saying "Let me rip the mic and go for mine". Salute.

[@germsincognito8329]

3rd Bass was, as far as i know, the first hip hop group to show Memphis love on wax on Derelicts. They were on top of their game when they were around. Slick professionals dropping professional records. They absolutely stand up today if you dig them out and listen to them.

[@leonzaduncan2438]

Hearing him tell the MC hammer story never gets old lmaoooooooo

I believe that story on Hammer, Hammer was harder than everybody gave him credit for and there's other rappers who dealt with Hammer, and the outcome was similar except w/o the contract hit for 50k as serch claimed they were told, hammer being an Oaktown OG was known for some of his beefs in the streets in his earlier years before he became the multi platinum selling artist, but that bullshit story he told about Bushwick bill was very much something he pieced together.

As a white kid I was never into 3rd Bass back then. I liked their solo albums way better, especially Here it Comes. That being said, I'm taking everything Serch said with a grain of salt.

you know, I flip-flopped back and forth on how I felt about 3rd Bass and the Cactus Album after listening to it a few years back, but I've warmed up to it more recently. This interview makes me respect Serch a lot more - I think my perception was kinda tainted from that cringey video he did bout Cultural Appropriation on Buzzfeed or whatever. But this interview is dope, man. Serch is super humble and really reasonable about his place in the world of hip-hop. I respect that he's an older rapper who doesn't have much of that old head mentality - shit, I'm prolly more bitter about current rap than he is, and I ain't even a part of the music world lol. He tells stories really nicely too, dude is easy to listen to. Been bumping the Cactus Album lately while workin on this video essay I'm tryna make and it's great background noise, gets me in that productive mindset.
