FIRST TIME LISTENING TO EPMD - So Whatcha Sayin' | 80s HIP HOP REACTION

[@desertdetroiter428]

I swear. DJ Scratch is so phuckin ill.

[@mattsmizzle]

A little backstory @PRSPR the section at 8:35 "People round town talking this and that, of how we sound like the R and our music was wack". The line about sounding like the R was about sounding like Rakim. EPMD and Rakim were all from Long Island NY and had a little battle / rivalry for a short time.

[@PRSPR]

Thank you for providing that backstory fam, that’s very interesting people thought they sounded like Rakim

[@charleychicocm]

EPMD "You got's to chill" all time classic.!!!

[@fantasyguru26]

Best hip hop duo of all time. Parrish an underrated MC his delivery and cadence is elite level. This joint is easily top 5 in their discog. Production wise it may be the best.

[@Til_I_Collapse]

Pin guru's comment!

[@OrondeBranch]

This was my favorite group from ‘87-‘92 and their 2nd DJ….DJ Scratch is the GOAT DJ.

[@garybrown4325]

Can’t forget about Scratch! Facts!

[@Docavelli]

One of my favorites. They were in that very next wave of MCs using more complex rhyme schemes. That's why the reference to sounding like The R. People said they were trying to sound like Rakim. Even with using more complex schemes, to me, they never really sounded anything like Rakim. It's one thing that I really don't like about a lot of today's music. They don't care if they sound just like everything else out. Back then, you never wanted to be told you sound like somebody else. Another one my man. Keep doing what you do. ✌🏾

[@PRSPR]

That’s really dope, I didn’t catch that line but it makes sense now that you pointed it out. I didn’t see the similarities in them sounding the same too but this is the only song I heard from them. I agree with you on that take, the lack of creativity in the game nowadays makes the music unlistenable since everyone sounds the same rapping over the same production. Thank you fam, I appreciate all the support you show my channel 💯💪🏾💪🏾

@@PRSPR deffo react to Da joint by them and You gots to chill, my favourite ones along side this deffo top 10 for me and a lot of people still interested in this type of music nowadays

[@davidrosario1143]

Bro NO CAPS.. you should do a full reaction of their full album ... eric and perish makin dollas ... EPMD .

[@katrinachavez3533]

Finally some Erick and Parish. Great reaction youngster! They're the reason along with Public Enemy that I fell in love with real Hip-Hop. EPMD is laid back headbanger music. They also introduced us Reggie Noble aka Redman, Keith Murray, Das EFX and K-Solo. #Legends

[@PRSPR]

That’s my bad for taking so long to react to them. Thank you very much!

[@IamNOTaExpert]

Excellent review 👏🏿 It's been mentioned a few times in the comments but I'll say it again. Treat yourself to that "you gots to chill" video! 🎤🔥🔥

[@PRSPR]

Thank you fam, it means a lot to me that y’all rock with the reaction video! Will do fam, that will be my next EPMD reaction 💯💪🏾🙏🏾

[@mistajones7814]

Go in Sire! I appreciate your appreciation! EPMD is everything!

[@crumplen73]

EPMD- Erik Parrish Making Dollars. Their first 12" It's My Thing and Your Customer they were EEPMD. Sleeping Bag Recorders

[@NJbakintheday]

"...No respect in '87... '88 ya kneel..." Like other comments already said, in 1987 they took some undeserved criticism, but in the new year (1988) all haters 'gon bow down.

[@PRSPR]

Thank you for breaking down that line fam, that makes sense

[@NJbakintheday]

@@PRSPR Happy to be a part of your journey. You're killin' the game right now with your lyric breakdown and obvious respect for the culture. Anytime you got a question, just let us know. We got u!

[@findough9487]

I'm buggin out on how many of us feel exactly the same!💯💥💯💥. We knew Hip Hop would change the world for the better. We also knew what and who we were up against. The same battle still persists. 30+ years after those songs resonated deeply with us, you are experiencing it all over. And we get that feeling back too, by watching you go through it. This is genuine enlightenment. Coming from a music genre that was disregarded, ridiculed and considered a fad. You are seeing for yourself how special and important the culture is. The culture found you...and you found it. Now you can see the real. "The light stays on."

[@PRSPR]

Everything you said is very true, it's really crazy when you think about it that way. Much love and respect fam, I appreciate the support very much

[@c3mi979]

The essential EPMD track is gonna be "You Gots To Chill". Legendary beat and dope rhymes. Some old school hardcore.

[@OrondeBranch]

Facts 🔥🔥

[@derekwilson9127]

PRSPR this joint is fire sample of the hook is One nation under a groove-Funkadelic! One of the greatest duos in Hip-Hop history! You taking me back!

[@trey1fromday190]

U reaching in your bag bro...this how you do a hip- hop reaction...you embody the whole essence of doing a hip-hop reaction...take me back to when I was 11 or 12 years old...I'm 45 now...good reaction...D-12 featuring Eminem "How come"

[@PRSPR]

Thank you fam! Should I react to the video or just the audio?

[@charlescarter1859]

Good Reaction Homie, EPMD are Legends! ERICK SERMON Legendary producer as well

Official release is 1988...There is a 7-inch vinyl that came out in 1988 it was a Limited Edition Pressing Sold at DJ Shows. Only 250 pressed.

EPMD - Erick and Parish Making Dollars

[@TonyRich_504]

Young King 👑✊🏽 I like the way you analyzed and dissected this reaction! EPMD was one of my fav Hip-Hop duo groups in the late 80's!DJ Scratch was a beast on the ones and twos 🔥 The way they attacked the mic and their style was unmatched. Checkout..." You're A Customer" and "The Big Payback"🎶 Keep up the great work my brother 💯

[@PRSPR]

That really means a lot, thank you very much my brother! 💯🙏🏾 I will be sure to add those tracks to my list, I appreciate the positivity in your comment and the requests. Definitely will keep up the work, thank you again 💪🏾💪🏾

[@smittybenzo4693]

I think the men in the video are wearing monk like robes because the slowed sample on the hook (Parliament Funcadelic - One Nation Under A Groove) kind of sounds like they'd be dressed like that just from the vocal style of the hook.

[@andrzejsokola]

My fav song of EPMD ❤️ Lovely hardcore beat and dope delivery. For me the 2nd is "Head Banger". Great song featuring Redman who also killed his verse so I highly recommend it to you ;)

[@dantegreen4094]

The hip hop world was DEVASTATED, when EPMD announced a Break-Up! Crushing news at the time. Long live Erich and Parrish Making Dollars 💸 💵

[@Beatstockpile127]

Their first album was in '87 Strickly Bussiness this one was "88 Unfinished Business.

[@gaffle-411]

Top 10 greatest Hip-Hop song of All-Time… BAR NONE! 🔥

[@djprideone1]

my interpretation of the guys in robes is that they are ''monks'' and monks chant and thats the connection to the sample of the singing in the background of the track ..... even though the singing is a sample from parlament

[@vincentwilliams71]

EPMD = Erick n Parrish Making Dollars ) and (Parish Microphone Doctor) Erick is E Double or The Green Eyed Bandit ..

[@rogerhayes1805]

They had a dope stage show too...

[@bigzico2525]

Great reaction as always dude. I'm not really familiar with EPMD's catalogue but I do love me some Erick Sermon...bro you gotta do his song Clutch feat Method Man & Redman...🔥🔥 track...I know you gonna love that one.🙏

[@lavantwooten2581]

The lisp Erick had in is raps actually allowed him to stand out. With the NY slang cadence he really stood out. Parish's rhyme scheme were at the time groundbreaking.

[@bryce253]

The knock against EPMD on their first album was that they were just replicating Rakim's laid back delivery and cadence. That's where that "..that we sound like The R and our music was wack" line comes from.

[@ants8527]

The Next best duel rap group after Run Dmc was DJ Scratch And Epmd, And they been dope since Strictly Buisness back in ''1987''🎶😎

Strictly Business You Gots To Chill Symphony 2000

[@slumpjones]

Beanie Sigel & Memphis Bleek did a pretty decent cover of this track on Beanie 2nd album, “The Reason”

[@sebastianshaw5534]

The line 'No respect in 87, 88 you kneel' was because when they dropped the first album, a lot of critics back then thought they were gonna be One hit wonders. But when this one dropped, it was a banger. So they had to give it up.

The video represents the underground

[@lisalopez8026]

NO these are not factory workers ...EPMD prided themselves on being underground with that hardcore gutter sound. They hated commercial rap and you'll find a lot of their videos underground in sewers, abandoned buildings, junkyards, etc.

[@subymanvince]

Foul ups, Bleeps, Bloops and Blunders was a TV show that aired people making mistakes on camera. I think it was out before America's Funniest Home Videos made home videos popular.
