In Part 2 what do you guys want me to talk about from 2000-2004?

[@_kvngofapril0150]

1. Definitely Ye's rise from producer to rap superstar 2. Beans vs. Jadakiss beef 3. Roc-A-Fella films

[@cloutcancun]

@@_kvngofapril0150 Yep! All three i'm talking about. Especially Ye because people really wasn't looking at him as a rapper at first but Dame took a chance and as you can see it really paid off

[@TheBsheep]

The rise homie....the meat of the whole Roc-A-Fella run. Talk about the Hard knock life tour...How Jay became King of New York after BIG died....of course his beefs with Mobb Deep and Nas....Roc-A-wear clothing, Armadale Vodka, Grammy boycott...etc

[@phipbrown6700]

It don't matter!! U got this!! Well done!!!

I'm from Long Island New York I'm 44 years old and I grew up on all kinds of music especially rap starting in the early 80's due to having very young parents. I was 19 when Reasonable Doubt came out one of the best albums ever. That decade had the best rap, best sneakers and best clothing. I was so blessed to be a young dude in New York during that era. Great doc homie keep up the good work

[@action802]

Nice!! I’m from Suffolk county,the 90’s era Biggie had shit on locked then hov came and took over,the music,sneakers,video games,clothes,shit even the girls lol. Miss those days man.

[@Drillah]

I'm from London. East London! U.K 44 also. I'm glad to witnessed that Hip Hop era. From NWA, Run DMC Public Enemy ATCQ! to Snoop! WU! Biggie Jay Mobb Deep.. etc etc etc What a time!

[@cloutcancun]

Thank you I appreciate this! IDK how there isn't like a doc out about them yet. They have such an interesting story. I just jumped at the opportunity

[@v.m.m.7729]

I’m from Mexico and living here currently, but I grew up in NYC, 1991-2008. I witnessed all of this, and I read The Source religiously. Yo don’t pay attention to all these comments talkin bout “u left this or that out”. You just gave us over 40 minutes of info!!! Fam, I commented before, one day someone gon come knockin at your door with a deal. Great content my G.

Lol just puts a tear to my eye bro. Just glad to see you Dre, doing the research and putting together such a documentary like this for the older guys to reminisce and the younger dudes to see what music was looking like during that time. It was a great time back then. You see now that the more work you put into a doc you will find yourself in that imfamous algorithm lol. Great work bro.

[@marquesrhodes]

Loved the first episode and am hoping you're motivated to put out the whole series!

[@ryanrichard7495]

Bro. This is a classic documentary. One of the best I’ve seen on KZbin. I love the way you break down all angles. You give every perspective. You tell the positive and negative. Please keep up the great work. You have to do a death row one next

You got a new subscriber to your channel. Just got through watching this and about to watch part 2. I remember this era like it was yesterday. I was in high school at the time and I remember Roc-a-fella just took over the industry alongside Ruff Riders, Murder Inc, No Limit, Cash Money, even Aftermath. Right off the heels of Death Row and Bad Boy. Keep up the good work.

Shout out to you young brother. This project of yours is well put together. I like the fact that you're a college student because I was in college/grad school/law school for the whole duration of the Roca fella dynasty,so I was a student when all of this was happening and you're a student putting this together. Much respect.

[@kaineshigaraki5253]

This was a nice trip down memory lane while learning new things. Looking forward to the next 2/3 parts. Watching this though, I’ve realized it’s extremely difficult to cover everything about RocAFella. I was looking forward to to hearing about Peedi Peedi aka Peedi Crakk, plus the rest of State Property and more Dipset. I mean, maybe in the next 2 parts, but it will be difficult. I still appreciate your content tho. Keep grinding, Homie. [x]

[@cloutcancun]

Thanks for the love! The reason why I didn't talk about Dipset or State Property in this episode is that this first episode is about the late '80s to 1999. State Property and Dipset both didn't even drop their debuts yet. Nobody on Dipset was on the ROC yet and I think before 2000 only Beanie, Oschino and somebody else (can't remember off of the top of my head) was signed to ROC. I've expanded the series to 4 episodes now (as I'll state in the new episode releasing probably tomorrow) The next episode will be about 2000 to 2002. I talk about Cam and State Property in it because they officially dropped their albums during them years. Come home with me, Beanie had the truth and the reason and the state property debut album

[@kaineshigaraki5253]

@@cloutcancun OH SNAP!!! 4 parts now. Damn, dawg. You too good to us. I’m rooting for you, Homie. I know it’s hard with being a full time student but dedication, consistency, and patience always pays off. Wish you well. Stay blessed. [x]

[@chiquitawheeler8552]

You did a really fantastic job. You paid attention to detail and you gave us a lot of background that I didn't even know about. I remember this era and the 80s - 00s had the best rap music (in my opinion) Keep up the good work

I hope this is well researched n edited. We know the story, I hope there’s more

[@cloutcancun]

I go in-depth with multiple perspectives from people who were there. Jay Z, Biggs, Dame, Ski Beatz, Kenny Ski from Christión, Jaz O, Adrien Vargas (Art Director for Reasonable Doubt), Jonathan Mannion (photographer for Jay-Z), Amen-Ra, Memphis Bleek, etc. This has taken weeks to do. I did my best to dig and be fair by using multiple perspectives from people who were there during this period. Did my best by including a lot of things but also well aware that this video could of been 3 hours in itself
