So Wassup? Episode 41 | Heavy D - "Yes Y'all"

[@sol1730]

Blue Funk is so slept on, Hev could rhyme harder than 99% of cats out there and never had to cuss once.

[@gakdaniels76]

Definitely slept on.I wasn't the biggest Heavy D fan but Blue Funk was definitely nice.It was the only record of his I ever bought.

[@sol1730]

@@gakdaniels76 A lot of his other records have some great joints on too, lotta Marley Marl and even early Pete Rock cuts. Just sometimes gotta skip past some of the new jack swing tracks to get to the heat, but Blue Funk was like 90% ill shit.

[@bigzizzo]

His best album!

[@waltongraham7031]

Real Talk he was very underrated and dope. R.I.P.

[@adg_87]

You ain't neva lied. That album is a hidden gem.

[@zncuentertainment712]

I'm so glad this series is continuing!

[@hiphopfankid8261]

Bro I thought he ended it bro

[@music4allpeople627]

I love the history and information.

[@amp_unlimited]

Agreed 💯

[@AMOKIAN]

Yeah… I was scared that # 40 was it for the series. I knew he had many more episodes he could do.

[@xmadman19x]

Yes!!

[@dbrown8553]

That 92 Interlude was my ring tone for over 3 years...I didn't want to answer my phone when it rang🙂

[@dj_jazzywhut]

Legendary and 'Blue Funk' was a really dope album. RIP Heavy-D.

[@P-DUBZduharte]

R.I.P. heavy D

[@goatsquadtv8786]

R.i.p Heav D.. the way he freaked that 92' interlude into yes y'all was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SICFIT]

Im so glad this is coming back, literally my favorite series on youtube

RIP to the Heavster and peace to his fam.👊🏽💯

[@bigpesa6166]

Heavy tripped me out in New Jersey Drive when he was talking gangsta to the car thieves. He was the Heavy Weight Lover but played that gangster part proper R.I.P HEAVY D 🙏

[@witchert]

I remember hearing the '92 interlude beat on 'Daily' and pissed it wasn't a full song. Thank you, Heavy for convincing Premo to make the track! R.I.P.

[@rodneymontague9324]

I got Blue Funk album when it was new. For the longest, I always thought this was a Pete Rock track!!! You got me Preem!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@djgreenhornet2892]

Definitely sound like a Pete Rock beat.

[@fedoramcclaren4294]

I definitely thought it was Pete as well, based on the bass undertones...

[@stevechase2232]

Same! The drum samples, the song format, the Big Daddy Kane samples, I swore it was Pete Rock!

[@danteerskine7678]

@@stevechase2232 I didn't know it was a Preemo beat until I hear the 92 interlude from daily operation. A decade later, Rah digga took the same beat.

[@danteerskine7678]

@@djgreenhornet2892 whatever the ffuck people say, Preemo is and remains a legend to me

[@IceKoldKilla]

That beat though! Holy fuck! DJ Premier literally makes my favorite style of hip-hop and he makes it sound so fucking solid. He never fails. Ever. And his run with Guru!? 🤯 Historic. Legendary.

[@think3632]

You took me back to 93, my senior year in high school, in my bedroom listening to my huge speakers. Heavy D is not to be messed with, one of the best lyricist, word playist, flow stylist, dancers, cameoist, most consistent, an actor, producer, and I’m forgetting some and don’t know the half of all he did. And yes I used -ist, it’s Heavy D, he deserves it, he’s an instrument of HIP-HOP 100 times over✊🏾😎

[@cyyrious]

Yes Heavy was super dope when it came to lyrics

[@dramatyst5661]

He is also cousins with Pete Rock

[@champmorgan7166]

@@dramatyst5661 Indeed, i graduated in 91, when this album came out we couldn’t believe premo finally made a song to that 92 interlude. We bumped it everyday. I still bump it now like it just came out.

[@madlion1080]

93! Yessssss

[@CJ_7519]

Which school did you go to, #think3632?

[@Rugerman205]

Blue Funk is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 the back and forth of Preemo & Pete Rock on that jawn make it BONKERS!!!

[@madcow310]

Respect!!! Interlude 92’ RIP Overweight Lover in da house!

[@edelorbe42]

Man!!!! I used to rock Daily Operation HARD and I used to keep that interlude in a loop. I even went on to record it on a loop on a tape. Miss the 90s. Love my Boom Bap!!!!

[@kincamell]

Gratitude.

[@ronsmith9735]

I remember my college roommates and I would run this interlude like it was a song. we constantly rewound it wishing it was longer or better yet, a whole song. It was one of the DOPEST interludes EVER! I loved it to death but was also mad that Guru never spit on the track. I am glad that Premier spoke on his reluctance to redo the track for Hev. Hev did his thing on it though. 92 Interlude is so dope that just hearing it gets me emotional. Salute to you Preemo!

[@mlaws11291]

So glad Hev used it. I'm still mad at Busta for not rapping on the intros to his first 2 albums lol

[@DJAUDIO1]

One of the many reasons I began to DJ back then... to play things back over and over. Crazy how today you can just set a loop in Serato and it will play indefinitely.

[@MrBobbyBX]

Hands Down, one of the top 3 piano riff loops in Hip Hop, No disrespect I’m sure we can all agree, “The Bridge Is Over” is #1😊

[@ackvig]

@@mlaws11291 Those intro beats on Busta's "The Coming" were BONKERS, right? I think 8off the Assasin did those beats, on the low, uncredited.

[@marlondaniels7912]

Westwood had a loop of 92 interlude that he used for a lot of continuity bits on his radio show bitd.

[@UndergroundRap4eva]

YES!!! Bout damn time. Left us hanging for a minute after MC Eiht. Thought that was the end. So glad it's back. So many hits to dive into memory lane. In the immortal words of Preemo... Let's get it in!!!

[@In73ll3c7u5]

Here comes the Hevster.... is there a story to that? Cause that joint was fire too

[@BIGP1980kid]

Rest in peace Heavy d. 🙏

[@dannybx78]

I remember the sample was first used on "92 Interlude" (Gang Starr, Daily Operation)

[@djanil9733]

As sampled by Teddy Riley on Blackstreet's Physical Thing in '94

[@ianpitkin6324]

So happy this is back. Was worried he called it quits

[@dj_jazzywhut]

Nah he was just really busy with tours etc.

[@tipsythefedora]

The RIPs at the end are extra sad because all of those guys should still be here. None of them would even be elderly yet.

Here Comes the Heavster is tough!

Heavy D is one of my favorite iconic hip hop artists to hear stories about. That guy was really something special.

[@eafloe]

Insanely underrated album....Love Blue Funk! Preem, you got SEVERAL interlude beats that should be songs! And...there will never be another Heavy D! RIP! Forever Salute!

Dope Stevie Wonder shirt and Rocket Love hat!!!

[@donparker1530]

This was one of my favorite samples. Loved both versions. That Aretha Franklin piano sample from "Young, Gifted and Black" is sick!!!! Props to Dj Premier and Rest in Power Heavy D. We miss you!!!!!

[@lbushquizeanic1]

DJ Premiere needs a segment where he talks about barely getting off projects and what he did to make them happen.

[@marksterling2732]

Yeah I like that🎙🔥

[@stereo-type1510]

No he doesn't

[@queenearth2658]

That shirt mane. I love how he /we pay homage to our elders. Its cool to say and know how much we paid attention to our elders for style knowledge and all that. Much love and respect to the ones b4 us may the youth respect us like that. Yooo that's that physical thang by Backstreet. LOL I LOVE HIP HOP REST EASY TO ALL OUR LOVED MCS DJS ETC...

[@MrIncognito2020]

Blue Funk was a classic album

[@ack7753]

Worth the wait! Salute the floppy disk!

[@markmaguregui7286]

That beat reminded me of Rite Were You Stand towards the end of the track, Premo the best beat maker

[@agthaog1986]

" some people are beat makers, some people are producers.....Im both". that was an educational bar for yall azz

[@kingmarkseven17]

I'm glad you ended up making the song because it's one of my favorite beats 🔥🔥🔥 I played that song on repeat.

[@J-Dilla]

Floppy Disk looks good on you. big respect😎

[@gedbeat15]

THE REAL IS BACK!

[@6thElementOfHipHop]

This man is the GOAT. Y'all so-called "producers" today are barely computer beat makers...lmao This man knows how to work with reel to reel and cut & edit 2 inch tape an all that, y'all digital kids have no clue.

[@rbiznezz2]

He really is arguably the GOAT. He’s my fav when it all comes down to it

[@PhoeniX-Factor]

I was just listening to the "Waterbed Hev" album this morning, absolutely chill and dope album from an astonishing artist

[@mistersl8647]

One of my all time fav Hev D cuts. Beat and lyrics were fire!

[@mistersl8647]

Definitely showed Hev's versatility. One of my fav Hev's cuts also!

I was thinking to myself earlier this fine Friday afternoon, "I wonder if Premo will be doing any more "So Wassup" episodes" And sure enough here we are for it!! Looking forward to Monday

[@grskier]

Same thought in the last week or so. stoked.

[@alexadanm3723]

One Of My favorites off blue funk #RIP Heavy D 💙

About time! I was getting nervous that the series was over

[@R0jira]

I played that interlude out on the Daily Operation album. When Heavy used it I gave an ear and liked it. No wonder! 👍🏿

[@lukrativ0922]

DJ Premier is the greatest producer of all time.

[@squalley]

But that shirt is FLY AF Prem!

[@FruiceProduces]

Ah a fresh wassup !!!!

[@whatudoin1]

I miss Hev. If you listen to his last 2 albums then you know he would be relevant today if he was still here. He could easily switch styles

[@TheWattsSuperhero]

The 90’s were my shit! Especially coming from Cali and hanging out in NYC, with family in Hempstead and going back and forth to the Manhattan was bananas 🍌, going to the Tunnel, Nell’s shit was 🔥! Jam Rock in Mineola/ Hempstead area just a different vibe than that L.A. shit I been through!

[@incognitotees]

I'm so happy you're back Preemo. Love that Stevie Wonder shirt & Heavy D was that dude

[@MrDavis...42]

Primo.., I used to repeat that interlude. As a matter of fact you do that alot. I used to say why they never did a song to it... Peace and Blessings G.O.D. Oh, that Blue Funk was a good album to me. I didn't think Hev would had went that direction from prior music but watching KZbin I understand why he did

[@Rocwell]

Here comes the Heavster 😎

[@GregPopabich]

I personally thought it was dope that you reused that for the Hev track!

RIP Heavy D & Biz Markie, 2 of the alltime greatests

[@handsomeblackman255]

The first big man rapper. Before BIG. Shout out to Chub Rock though.

I bet that that’s “Stevie Wonder” on his shirt 😊

[@ingmarvanderhoek6314]

This man is such a genius, has been so for a long time, but unlike other producers from the golden age he is still open to today's sounds and artists. Always positive and constructive. Primo is the man.

In 1992 that’s where I met you guru remember that so Great to see you talking about floppy disks love it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
