PT 2 Parrish Smith of EPMD on Beef with Rakim & LL Cool J + John Jiggs & RJ The Realest Freestyle

[@kirbyaugustine761]

One of the greatest hip hop groups of all times. EPMD much love and respect.

[@grandmastermumble]

Sad to think they never got along but just did their thing as they had following. The dream would have been that they vibed together and loved to work.

[@aryehbenyehudah9965]

EPMD one my all time favorite Rap duo ever!🎤🎙

[@annettehayes3952]

Seriously 🔥❤️💯

[@icenerve]

I love it when Sway has these LEGENDS on the show!

[@iveywebb]

39 yrs old & watching this interview (both parts) like 😁😁😁.

[@skymarriot]

Much love to PMD and keeping the legend and vibe of the "Golden Era" alive. You and E the Green-Eyed Bandit were the FUNK truth. Before "Frampton Comes Alive" and his talk box. Joe Perry of Aerosmith was one of the first on "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" Live.Both 1975 or 76.Of course Stevie Wonder. EPMD was the realest from the East to incorporate Funk.Keep Grinding

[@theloverswineverytime1625]

Parrish said, "LL will get you on ya own song....LOVELY!" 😂😂

[@amindiwadley2268]

im a STRAIGHT UP EPMD FAN!!!! BOTH MC'S HAS NO COMPARISON, BOTH ARE DOPE ARTISTS!!!!

[@imyanigmw]

Seen EPMD in Philly last year at the TLA, with Styles P opening up for them. Classic shit, dope show. 30 years later, they still killin shit!

[@PopO51968]

I don't think people realize how much talent came out of Long Island; P.E ., Rakim, EPMD, Biz Markie, Craig Mack 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@at7828]

Rampppppageeeee! Takes me back to my middle school, high school and university days in the late 90s in Toronto! Big ups to all my peeps from Milne Valley Middle School and Victoria Park Secondary School in the T.dot. You know how we do back in the day.

[@rcole718]

Ha! Parrish confirms that LL was in the "Rampage" video.

[@91Definite]

He wasn’t! That was a LL Cool J lookalike with the hat 🎩😂

[@rcole718]

@@91Definite Then that was the greatest lookalike ever.

[@jamalevans1574]

Keith Carrieri nah

[@sirac37]

Keith Carrieri no way mobb deep was inspired by epmd

[@Boxtruckin]

Before Peter frampton ,Stevie Wonder used the talk box in like '72 on his album then when he wrote for Rufus in'74. But it was used since like the '30s in blues etc. These guys frampton, wonder and Troutman are just the ones who made it famous.

[@TheeDuhscientist]

..Troutman took it to a crazy level...Showcasing it as a lead vocal with complex arrangements and enunciation clarity...

[@Boxtruckin]

Matt Jones no doubt

[@yopauly580]

J. Curry Movin Weight cool facts

[@Boxtruckin]

Makesi Lopez thanks Fam! As sway mentioned earlier knowing the history of hip-hop if you really love it is important I'm paraphrasing

[@everydaydre1185]

really since the 30's

[@at7828]

John Jiggs & RJ sound like as if they one of them ole school classic rappers of the 80s and 90s. Respect!

That is true. The Hit Squad was the original Young Money. Every group/artist they brought out sold millions

[@roski78]

Them youngins ripped that joint!!! P put together a nice lil beat too

[@jonnycatbxny6046]

To the Break of Dawn.. LL starts the second verse getting at Hammer, then goes at EPMD with "cause I don't need a partner to swing", then gets back to Hammer with "Shut ur old mouth when young folks is talking"... Remember thinking he was getting at EPMD, but never knew it was true... I LOVE THIS SH!T #RIPBandanaP #RIPDickGregory

[@Bangs_Theory]

jonnycatbxny1849 _ LL was a beast! Damn I missed those days.

[@RichardVaughan-h4k]

He was and still is the microphone 🎤🎙️ doctor 💊.

[@thechrononautreport2764]

When you hear mc's going back and forth on a verse, you call that the EPMD flow...nuff said

[@branchmediagroup8122]

THE CHRONONAUT REPORT Nah thats called the Run DMC flow. Thats where EPMD got it from🤷🏾‍♂️

[@philliplyn2692]

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work just give them the credit and respect that they deserve a game changer for ever 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@eatfoodmusic3184]

"I got heavy arms like big momma" oh yeah lol

[@jaysouthphil7505]

(Back in 1990) My 13 yr old mind did not pick up the fact that LL got at them on the Break of Dawn! I picked up Kool Moe Dee, Ice Tee and Hammer...not EPMD! Lol

[@30907bng]

Jay SouthPhil You stole my thunder, i was thinking the same you were, i was 18 at the time and really didn't comprehend lyrics or the true meaning behind most of them until i was older, disses weren't really subliminal in the golden age era, if you dissed someone you called them by name and didn't take the jay-biggie sneak diss route, but the LL-epmd diss went straight over my head. I thought till the break of dawn was only aimed at my boy ice t.

[@kingsean1500]

Jay SouthPhil Mind Blown

[@shieldminster1]

EPMD real hip hop! Sway did a great interview with Parrish Smith. Those two new artist he signed can spit.

[@frankburton5460]

Props for doing this interview

[@CoCo-Philly]

Me being 47 and going with my pop to Bk to see my cousins back in the 80's, it always amazed me how different the slang and the accents were in Now Y. I'm from Philly so we were only like an hour away but listening to the rap back then and being in Bk it was like you were on another planet. Then we took the A Train from Bed-Stuy (Throop and Fulton and that McDonald'sis still there!!) to Far Rockaway.....mannnnn. This was like 1988. I love New York! I haven't been back since I went to Tony Touch's Peacekeeper album release party. Shout out to him and all the rappers who showed me and Dj Touchtone mad love. Shout out to EPMD!

[@jasonborne4931]

What the fuck!!!???? All this time I'm thinking LL was going at Moe, Ice T, and Hammer damn he blazed PMD!! Much respect to the God Rakim you heard!?

[@sven3089]

Jason Borne He was..

[@Phuriusstilez]

He did go at them, he just threw a jab or two at epmd

[@sheldontaylor2002]

also on Epmd' s Rampage he went in too

Yo, I never knew L dissed EPMD in To The Break of Dawn 😂 I thought Hammer, Ice T and Mo Dee were the victims!!!

[@lateevhamilton8351]

Damn..all these years I never peeped the subliminal shots towards EPMD in 'To the Break of Dawn'.

[@DanielLopez-me9mh]

So cool that e and p were interacting with rakim back in the days legendary

[@amck72]

Can you imagine if those two did a cipher over the same beat but add Redman, Craig G and Mc Juice ?

[@SyeYoung]

Back to the discussion of Peter Frampton's Voice Box, it was used on the song "Show Me The Way".

[@carlosfigueroa7949]

Yo! Real Emceein n real New Generation HipHop. Finally.

[@brocksampson01]

Dope interview!!

[@barbarabutler7086]

I don't care what anyone says...the best came out of Long Island...otherwise known as Strong Island. Do your homework! Long Island started so much shit in the game that it doesn't even get credit for. Even the artists that don't claim Long Island but are from Long Island be creative as fuck! Y'all gonna respect Long Island one or another...style robbing muthafuckas!!!!!!

[@sirac37]

Barbara Butler no doubt Long Island got a lot of history!

[@eddiemontgomery4921]

Sure does. Think Rakim, Public Enemy, De La Soul, EPMD, even Prodigy was from L.I. Too many to name.

[@drumsrugged9049]

no doubt and I strongly agree with you however.... Queens has some of the best to ever do it as well so much history comes out of Queens...but you are definitely correct about Long Island

[@RichardVaughan-h4k]

They dropped the album strictly business and you thaught they would fold thirty days later the album went gold.

[@brettclouse5905]

GREAT UP TO EPMD. been a long time fan. Roller Skated, dance + d.j.ed your cuts. Seen you guys at the Varsity in M.P.L.S. Hope you come back in M.P.L.S. real soon. + Your youngen's there tight. Thank Parrish for puttin' them on'

[@kingpro192]

Rampage was a classic hip hop song.

[@carlito_mr_quiet_storm]

AUTHENTIC HIP HOP LEGEND PMD

[@Powerule23]

Jiggs caught his rhythm on his second go-round and completely spazzed. The kid RJ has bars. It's good to see hungry young rappers with lyrical content.

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

[@WuBloodKin09]

Can’t wait for the EPMD movie 🍿

[@apollobelladona]

16:51 - Man, that's not about you guys. "...Get a flick of the stiff dead-shot to get swift, but I'm the wrong brother to dance with. 'Cos I don't need a partner to swing. Keep your eyes on the Cool J ring" That's still directed at MC Hammer. He doesn't mean a rap duo partner. Hammer is known for dancing, LL say's 'I don't need a partner to swing'. Swing is a dance which you do with a partner, but L is talking swinging punches. The bit when L says "You know the L.L.'s back in town. And all the want-to-be sheriffs is gettin' shot down." I would have thought was about Kool Mo Dee since he made a choon called "Wild Wild West", but he already served him in the first verse so why continue halfway through the 2nd?? Bit confused with that one.

[@donblake1]

Yo I agree with you on the that

[@X-Foundation]

Classic interview! 2021

Damn LL didn't know he was that slick. Kinda wondered those few bars was aimed at didn't sound like all Hammer

[@rcole718]

MrKenny I thought he was just going at Moe Dee some more. Figured the sheriff part was talking about the "Wild Wild West" video.

yo these cats could be something special as a duo. trading 4's and 8's. if they could develop a real tag team, on some double trouble, that would have a real impact. there's millions of good solo rappers, but not too many serious duos these days. stronger as a team

PMD is the more humble and wise of the 2, I used to think the other way around. I'm not saying that to be devisive, but as a young man I did choose a side based on their demeanors on the mike. Just shows how little I knew.
