MY EXPERT OPINION EP # 170: MR. CHEEKS OF LOST BOYZ

[@rbeast100]

Salute to Mr. Cheeks n the lb fam. He emailed me a handful of unreleased tracks for my birthday in 2013 and I’m just a fan. Much love for that.

[@DAWUD973NJ]

THE OG! MUCH LOVE 💯.....one of My favorite interviews

[@CokoKane]

Real dude. He didn’t have to sell a lifestyle he lived, respect he gave us party joints and kept that life on the low and aimed for the life he wanted. I hope everybody heard him when he said it.

[@Nativehandle]

He understood the power of realization of tings.

[@adamglover9772]

Really wish DMX was alive to make an episode! RIP to the legend! Would’ve been a instant classic Expert opinion

[@perrynn7173]

I've been saying this already. Great comment.

[@celebneilz1023]

Nah big facts

[@Runmyway46]

[@kla1907]

[@lowkeytofficialpage4827]

Man lost boys was the inspiration for my group #Losttribe I’m 28 my pops put me on to wu, lost boys, tribe, groups that everybody was ill In they own creative way. Everybody delivered no one out of thuds groups lowered momentum at all.

[@nmarcus7233]

👊🏾

[@edwardianturner7853]

💪🏾💪🏾 love the ol school stories we didn't have all tech when i was younger so the interviews are awesome 😎

[@solidasarock06]

"To me you're nothing but a needle in a hay stack Listen kid, I've been doing this since way back In the day, Ace Deuce Tre, at the best Up to ZIMBABWE, hey, who's the best?" Growing up in Zimbabwe in the late 90s, when that part came on in the clubs and at house parties, we lost it. Lost Boyz take me back to my teen years.

[@ez-duz-it]

Damn I love the 90s. Just a few months ago I had to go back and listen to Lost Boyz first album cause I was watching New York Undercover and the song “Straight from da Ghetto”played in the intro of an episode and now we get Mr. Cheeks telling his story. Salute!

[@DMVvsEverybody]

Not gonna lie, I know exactly what episode you are talking about. I watched the same episode about 7-8 months ago and I heard that song in the background. I downloaded it immediately and added it to my playlist.

[@JDean-oe1ux]

Took it back with that classic show too 💯!

[@javariuscorpening1963]

Great interview The Lost Boyz are one of the greatest groups Cheeks got the best energy much love and salute🔥

[@BuckemMadeSolid]

Dope episode! Really learned more about LB, than I didn’t know. Queens has so much talent and it really held NY down during the golden era of Hip Hop! S/o to Mr Cheekz for all of his contributions to hip hop! 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@smchooch]

[@carlosdejesus5098]

Where's that Camp Lo interview

[@nattydredka]

Yooooooooo!!! Yes indeed!!!!!

[@ihaddox1199]

had to update the Legal Drug Money wikipedia because it said the album only had five singles. it had six. summer of 96 at parties we'd just press play on the LP and listen to the whole thing.

[@FutbolrClothing]

Big shouts to Group Home /LB Fam..Mr. Cheeks you are a legend & blessed. Stay healthy my brother and keep Tah name high..Lsssssss 4life

[@omarmckenzie8757]

The person responsible for the ending shot needs an award. The timing is blockbuster worthy!.... Haven't heard any mention of the The Fat Boys' contribution to hip-hop. Would love to hear their history.🙏🏾

[@namesalieas]

Dj Red Alert, briefly spoke on them, I believe… but yea Fat Boys do need their story told.

[@SHOTTAeastcoast]

Queens guys been killin the videos. Want to see Brooklyn's own Shyne Po. Or Foxy for the women

[@TheHiddenAnswer]

First LB album is dope, it's boom bap but with their own distinctive twist as well.

[@deezy81]

Rest In Peace to Mister Sexxx

[@webertmathieu5427]

He knows how to speak without saying anything.

[@nmarcus7233]

That’s how you don’t say anything too incriminating

[@litag8972]

Salute to Legend Mr Cheeks RIP Freaky Tah 🙏🏾💯🫡

[@HoodHandyman]

Expert Opinion keeping it more hip hop than drink champs these days for real. . They had Vince Staples on Drink Champs and OT Genisis . I never seen a legend with no album out and another legend that only been around maybe 3 years . Expert Opinion is holding it down.

[@obatala4688]

Blessings 🙏🏿✊🏿🔥 The Lost Boys raised me!!!! Legendary

[@abbeybolaji3172]

My favorite feature is the remix of lights, camera, action with missy and Diddy!! Always on repeat!!!!

[@nicknikolia8682]

Love, peace and nappiness album in the late 90's held a lot of great memories growing up.

[@repshowhost]

Remember feeling a certain way about John P. Kelly album. Really felt that record. To see Cheeks speak on his brother Tah. That album hit close especially ((What the F*k is This)). Really felt that track right there. Gave us a chance to think about Tah, to hold on to that feeling as a fan.

[@davidstarnold6860]

Such a dope episode. Cheeks Don’t get enough credit. BUT YO MATH. ASK THE OGS ABOUT BIG L. THATS ONE KID WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT BRO

[@ironlung_era]

Yuuuuuur we here for this one🤘🏿

[@PerryHaySon]

I like how he avoided the question. Math: You want to talk about? Cheeks: What the 90's? Me: No, the streets😂

[@therealpatrice-md3yy]

Mr. Cheeks straight OG Love him 🥰😍

[@bluewalnuts688]

The brother with the glasses on... You're doing a great job. Don't let no dunderhead in the comments tell you any different ✌

[@edwardianturner7853]

[@ebinflo102]

Salute to a legend! Anyone who slept on Lost Boyz must still be sleeping today. Was happy to see him on tour w Damian Marley some years ago, and Cheeks always gets the nod from the realest of the real. Can’t wait for that Slick Rick interview tho … make it happen! Nuff respect 🫡

[@nmarcus7233]
