DJ Muggs: 'Past Is Prologue' (Documentary)

Known and revered as the sonic mastermind behind both Cypress Hill and his own Soul Assassins imprint, DJ Muggs has pioneered and shaped influence across three-and-a-half decades of hip hop. A key figure of ’90s hip hop production, Muggs crafted a singular sound that blended darker sensibilities of psychedelic rock with sample-based production in a unique way that influenced many in its wake, yet that is merely the story's prologue...

Hi

[@dreamworld1733]

Without Muggs we would have no havoc, no alchemist, no Darringer.. basically we would have no real lane for that dark n grimy hiphop that we love so much. Salute and Props to DjMuggs👏

[@sergiodiaz-brown4472]

Well that's a big statement, because they all were influenced by people they were around! But he could be considered inspirational!? 🤔

[@odhiamboomulo5937]

I would even throw in RZA, the Wu Elements and maybe, just maybe Harry Fraud ...

[@sergiodiaz-brown4472]

Dis-agree Mobb deep was the 1st east coast rap group with respect internationally to make original tracks from scratch no samples! But none the less Muggs still that dude !

[@ThughoriSadhu]

No Havoc? Man chill out. All of Havoc's influences were from his own neighbourhood. Plus Prodigy taught Hav how to make beats not Muggs

[@BRNREK47]

I consider Muggs to be the Jimmy Page of the Hip-hop world. His vision, ever evolving sound rooted in the music of his youth, his desire for innovation is inspiring. He's my favorite hip-hop producer of all time.

[@MLCrow]

DJ MUGGS is special, unique. I also like his work outside rap music. I like musicians exploring different styles, different worlds...different dimensions.

[@desertdetroiter428]

Muggs is just so sonically insane. What I love about his shyt is that every production is a surprise. You never know what he’s gonna pull out of the crates.

[@flyfidelitymedia]

MUGGS is in a different class. Its deeper than rap. This man makes movies

[@MLCrow]

I agree.👍

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

One of the greatest to ever do this ish! *Soul Assassins...* 🔥 Muggs is in a special zone the last several years, from solo albums, to the most recent Cypress Hill joint (the best since _Temple Of Boom),_ his work with Meyhem Lauren... Rome Streetz... Eto... Mach Hommy & Tha God Fahim... Roc Marci... and on and on. Like he says in the video, the last 3 decades have "just been a warm-up".

[@BSoul-sp5di]

Muggs and AL are really students of the culture, they evolve very well at a top level that nobody can't fuck with their music.

[@chinbeats6551]

Love for Muggs - good on you, Sacred Bones!

[@bubbapoof9719]

Me and my friends where" those" 90's kids, from New Jesey, who listened to rap, metal, punk, grunge, classic rock. If it sounded good, we listened to the music. We each brought what kind of music we liked to and listened and expanded are minds.

[@MLCrow]

👍

[@getthoseskills4451]

Love this dark experimental hip hop from Muggs. Black Sunday and Temples of Boom are amazing albums. Big shout out to Muggs and other darker hip hop acts like EL-P, H09909, Jpegmafia, Death Grips, Bob Vylan, Allflaws

Cool that Sacred Bones did this feature on Muggs.. I grew up on Cypress and hip hop of that era.. Feels like a long time ago, I'm 42 now. Muggs has always held it down and been original to his craft and specific sound...💀🤘

Thank you 💯this was a very dope and spiritually informative for someone who is catching up on OG music and culture as I've been on my spiritual journey as the work never stops, however once we connect with for myself the most high and spirit team guardian angels, ancestors and our teachers. it's then we can protect and direct ourselves forward to be our best selves and as you say always stay humble which is everything. Your family and loved ones must be super proud of what you have been doing and how your teaching others as it's important to always give back as it's a blessing when this happens with good people as they are out there. What a beautiful legacy your building for your family and loved ones. What a cool thing to see as my kid and old man get ready to leave for school and work. Blessings 🙏💜🙏

[@Wizardjunior77]

@@LATOHOUSTON who made the Devil ?

[@LATOHOUSTON]

@@Wizardjunior77 He was an angel in Heaven named Lucifer. Was Gods right hand angel. He got greedy and wanted to be God himself. He pumped up about a third of the angels as well. God then casted him and his followers down to Earth. Once the most beautiful angel, got transformed to such hideous filth along with those other angels who became demons. This is his land..we’re just in it, for a blink of an eye or with him for much longer until he is destroyed as prophesied, your choice Wizard Jr.

[@Wizardjunior77]

@@LATOHOUSTON once again not my question. Who made the devil ? Or in this case who made you ? doesn’t matter if an angel has fallen their only purpose is to serve god. Your choice Mr Houston I’m still waiting
