What Happened to 3RD BASS? A Trailblazing Rise and Unplanned Fall

[@stuntedgrowthmusic]

It's amazing the craze Hip Hop was late 80s early 90s. Everyone wanted to be "down".

[@ShinobiShaman]

It was actually the Beastie Boys first.

[@junkscorpion7011]

MC Serch use to dance his ass off his lyrics were nice too.

[@Marvilloso]

if 3rd Bass never broke up, we would never got Nas. Think about it.

[@40EastTrill]

Yeah we would

[@GiltiatheDarkNight]

I wish they stayed together.

[@kaykizzlehollywoodjr9929]

True

[@machomusprime50]

Nas is too talented to say that. He would've been out regardless.

[@Roccofan]

Nas spoke of the same kind of thing in his song “Blunt Ashes”

[@danieldean1806]

I loved Brooklyn Queens

[@jgmusic97]

Pop Goes the weasel is still in rotation for me

[@michaelcboone4222]

The Cactus Album was without a doubt a classic and got me through boot camp in 1990.

[@sootsrichmore6421]

So what is the Beastie Boys, if 3rd Bass is the 1st white rap group.... IJS... also they were not established in 1995. Their 1st album dropped in '89......

[@hiphophistory2218]

My thoughts, exactly.

[@ether_sect]

B Boys were first.

[@TheEdub1]

Exactly what I said smh. This dude is always getting shit wrong on this channel.

[@MrJustincredible245]

As much as I like 3rd Bass The beastie boys paved the way!

[@maxxxpayne279]

Aaaahhh The Beastie Boys were THE FIRST!!! Hip Hop White Group! Not 3rd Bass!

[@MrMLD1972]

👍🏾

[@BaronSemediLive]

Fact

[@rahsaanthomas7030]

Their Sons Of Third Bass track was a direct diss towards the Beasties, calling them a "Def Jam sellout." Ad Rock and Serch did a dance off for DMC's glasses, and Serch won.

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

The song that made me like them is "Pop goes the weasel". The song uses the sample of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer " song! That song made me want to get their 2nd album. I still have it to this day! By just watching this episode if anyone would want the 3 of them to have a reunion or a new album to be made ITS NOT HAPPENING EVER!! I never knew tensions with them were that bad! I now have to start watching the rest of their videos to see what they're about because Pop goes the weasel was the only video I've seen from them. Time to go down memory lane! Thanks for this update!

[@markadams9335]

95?! They broke up the first time around that time. I’m sure you meant ACTIVE since 1985. 0:15

[@willieparks8588]

That's where KMD CAME FROM AKA MF DOOM LEGEND RIP DOOM

[@JM1993951]

I prefer their solo work. Serch’s album was dope and Pete Nice also dropped an album in 1993 with Daddy Rich.

[@goodvibestv707]

That beef with MC hammer basically ruined their career literally

[@kerry-j4m]

That beef with Hammer,was it before or after that video they made dissing Hammer ???

[@goodvibestv707]

@kerry-j4m after the video they made about hammer

[@kerry-j4m]

@@goodvibestv707 Oh,okay,thanks. Didn't Search say Hammer put a hit out on them ??? I never believed that tho.

[@comic_book_guy]

I had no idea pop goes the weasel was a diss song

[@HankseyHill]

Because it sucks that's why

[@brynellsidney3983]

Yup....

[@scribblebeck]

Surprised you mentioned Method Man but not KMD (MF Doom) even though you referenced "Gasface" a few times

[@SectionATE617]

If your last video was the Mc hammer video this one is PERFECT!!!

[@dakritic]

1995? You mean 1985!…Stunted growth math 😂

[@twin78]

🤣🤣🤣 I was just gonna say that!

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

They should have been bigger. You should do Cypress Hill next.

[@dannydamnmendez]

And their side projects too (Delinquent Habits, Psycho Realm, Call of Da Wild)

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

@ Yes

[@Kenneth-fu3js]

Not sure but didn’t MC Serch also discover MF Doom ? He was in a group called KMD🤔🤔🤔

[@foodjones2456]

They guys were great lyricists

[@rayedmonds6108]

Aren't Serch and Nice still beefin to this day?

[@diamondd8017]

yep he can't stand that dude. when he was on math hoffa show he spoke on it a little.

[@HeavyJ713]

They recently reunited.​@@diamondd8017

[@A75MComics]

Sech and Pete HATE each other - look up 3rd Bass argument on Lord Sear radio show, they argued on phone conference for several minutes, wasn't a joke, you can hear the hatred for each other - also in an interview on Sway Serch said they didn't make one penny on the Cactus Album, they didn't clear those samples and the profits paid off other artists - one of my favorite groups as a kid, Steppin to the AM and Gasface and Booklyn Queens and Product of the environment was my jam, but I doubt they will reunite - I'm not speaking from opinion, look up their interview and argument videos, they say this stuff themselves....

[@markadams9335]

We STILL say got the gas face lol. On another note also “caught the VAPORS “

[@borncapricorn1]

I GUESS YOU NEVER HEARD OF BEASTIE BOYS?

[@TravisClinton]

You must have forgot the Beastie Boys came out like around 1985 the first White rap group was them not 3rd bass.

[@ThaMizphit74]

He said "one of the first"..

[@thegreattreon0177]

Beastie Boys was a rock group that switched over to rap. 3rd Bass was the first that started and stayed a rap group

[@cinnamonspice4389]

The beatnuts should be next.

[@capricehollis1372]

Mc hammer stunted their growth lol

[@misterelom]

They just squashed their beef and reunited after being on the outs for a couple years. Happy to see it but wish it had happened sooner. And those 2 albums (and the EP) are classics. The remix to "Product of the Environment" goes super hard to this day.

[@TRUTH-r7q]

Pete Nice was always cool asf... Flow, style and everything

[@jmos005]

Without 3rd Bass together,we wouldn’t have a Nas today.

[@machomusprime50]

Yes we would. Nas is too talented to say he would've never been out. Come on.

[@gregwhite7852]

3rd bass wasn’t first white group rapping. That’s the beastie boys.

[@kimberlytaylor8550]

The Beastie Boys came first.

[@Notorious_G.O.D_76]

Well they suffered what a lot of white rappers been through back then wasn't tooken seriously....Back then it wasn't cool to be a white MC unless they could bring it differently that was already out. According to "Non Phixion's" "Necro" he said "MC Serch" always had an ego....he thought he was rap's answer to game. Then after the whole "MC Hammer" incident...that's when they faced internal problems between "Serch" & "Pete". Let's face it when "NWA" dropped & with their success...it force a lot of us on the East Coast to be down or lay down mentality. Maybe they didn't want to go the gangsta rap direction i really dug "The Cactus Album...The production on that album was sick..."Prince Paul" did some beats...."Downtown Science's " "Sam Sever" done amazing work on the "Directs Of Dialects" album....But unfortunately it wasn't enough for them to keep the group going.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@twin78]

Great feature..... A few side notes...... Stunt #4: Seach's failed talk show lol J/K Stunt #5: The group has been active since 1989, not 1995 Recently, they were briefly reunited, performing at a DJ Cassidy event

[@Ljtokool]

I’ll The Beastie Boyz was first my guy!!!!

[@critteniousrex3580]

No mention of them introducing a young Zev Love X before he took the mask and became MF Doom?

[@DizoDixon]

they both put out solo albums on def jam

[@calculatedrisk1]

Beastie Boys were first, but 3rd Bass was pretty dope…

[@signalhilltv5237]

ROFL you guys may need to take a hip-hop history class. 1. It's the Tina's Teena Maria raps on square biz. And Tina Weymouth bassist for the talking heads raps on Genuis of Love. Then its George Micheals (Wham Rap 1982,83) Then its Captain Sensible (Wot 1982, 1983), then its Falco Rock me Amadeus. Then it's the Bestie Boys.

[@K2daMFG]

Deborah Harry's raps on the Blonde song "Rapture" was before Tina Marie's "Square Biz", so she was the first white person to make a hit rap song.

[@signalhilltv5237]

@@K2daMFG are you comparing her to silk the shocker? Because in rapture check the lyrics she is really not rhyming.

[@K2daMFG]

@signalhilltv5237 Was she spitting that heat? Nah, but she was down with Fab 5 Freddy and The Funky 4 Plus 1. In fact she demanded that if SNL wanted Blondie on the show, they had to put The Funky 4 Plus 1 on and they became the first rap group to appear on SNL, so she was closer to hip-hop culture than Teena Marie was (and Teena clearly had the better bars)!

Never Accept it them or the dudes who came before them. In elementary school. Early 80's, I heard was BITING from them. House OF Pain was the first white rap act that I accepted. And I still didn't purchase any of their albums.
