THE FEARLESS 4 - FOUNDATION LESSON #1 JAYQUAN

[@doc7852]

You are a true hip-hop historian best I ever heard keep up the good work I love your documentaries.

[@KidAlmighty30]

💯

[@BigRedManowar]

My favorite group of all time!

[@Matoaka365]

"Problems of The World Today", was my introduction to Hip Hop. I was tiny. Sitting at the record player with the album in my little hands, rhyming along while reading the lyrics on the "sleeve" lol. I played it over and over and over. Every single day! I love watching your videos. So informative, and they bring back such great memories! 😊🤗

[@danacarter610]

My favorite group back in the day

[@vincentwilliams2089]

Rocking it is a classic song and no one can ever take that away from The Fearless Four

[@CliffMarion]

This is so needed, as a fellow emcee we look at what makes a emcee different from casual listeners keep'em coming enjoying the wisdom!!!!!!!

[@stirlingpickett5253]

The Fearless 4 we're truly a solid crew that put out great hip hop salute Jayquan the great hip hop historian

[@bgvan37]

Damn bro I am old and been there but appreciate you so much for spreading the history

[@TheOldSchool1975]

D.L.B. is criminally underrated. Also, your mention of Freestyle being perhaps the essence of what the F4 could do is spot on. Tito' s and DLB's verse in that is still heralded as legendary rhymes.

[@justallah2785]

Nicholas Smith No doubt! But Which verses are u referring to?

[@bgvan37]

Do Re Mi Fa So La TITO

[@WaxDat8800]

Nicholas Smith DLB is under rated by those that don’t know. I got him in my top 50.

[@giovannigommba5938]

I,was fifteen when this song came out. Winter of 1982.A"CLASSIC".

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

problems was in still is my favorite

[@kevinkidd7211]

Once again good News 💪💪💪 just wish it was longer

[@jermaineebron]

THANKS FOR PRESERVING OUR HIPHOP HISTORY.

[@karbunkledude]

I wish they`d released an LP in 83/84! Together with Fat Boys,K,Blow, Whodini, Run DMC and of course the Sugar Hill artists. How come Enjoy just relased 12 inches? It seems so to me. Thanks for the story about F-4000, looks like I have to buy Problems..I found it somewhat commercial , when I heard it several years ago. This was your first lesson, and a good one too. I have a lot to catch up! Thumbs up JayQuan!!

[@TheEdub1]

Rockin It one of my favorite beats of all time.

[@TheFoundationhiphop]

Respect bro

[@MattHall]

Thanks for putting these together. I work with Peso doing videos from time to time, he's still going hard!

[@TheFoundationhiphop]

Peso is my man. Thanks for looking!

[@rmortan]

i remember that 12 inch record something new Man that brings me back

[@TheWonderfuldre]

DLB's rhyme on fearless freestyle is pound for pound one of the greatest verses ever! "Make Brooke Sheilds throw her Calvin's out in the cold and wear DLB jeans til she's grey and old" "The way I crush MC's I can be your molar, cause I'm the real thing just like Coke a Cola" "Like the Italian Staillion when I'm in combat, make you think I'm gonna lose but it ain't really like that" Smokers!!

[@WaxDat8800]

Dregrub DLB is in my top 50.

[@wondoney]

That “Problems of the World Today” 12 inch is incredible from start to finish. Love it.

[@KidAlmighty30]

this was nice history, I love the fearless four.

[@betunzare2250]

dope post...im glad i grew up in the mist of it...those were the dayz...I miss it too👍🏿

[@omoowobhd]

Rockin' It & On The Radio by The Crash Crew had a similar upbeat high energy to it that electrified me when I heard it & inspired me to want to pop & lock, LOL! 2 of my alltime favorite hip hop tracks that I consider masterpieces...

[@insanedumpling123]

These are so good man! Thank you

[@kingpleasure7538]

Man I appreciate you! Gid bless you and continue doing your good work on preserving our Culture and history. Respect to the VALLEY GRAND MAMIER'S AND D.J JOSE B, who rocked the park jams in Haffen park at nights with his crazy loud system. I was to young to go to the jams but I was in my bed tryna buss rhymes. DJ BREAKOUT who blew my mind little mind seeing him in his candy painted Dune buggy with the white seats!

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

that free style was awesome

[@BROTHARON67]

Salute my Brother I appreciate you thanks

[@prie71]

I'm searching since 83 or 84, for a livetrack, that i recorded from Dutch radio. It was very fast and heavy for that time. Only a drumbeat and some arabian sounds. The mc was saying things like ,,I say the B double O,the G,I,E come on somebody sing with me. Say BOOGIE(2X) Say Eighter(2) ,, Does that sound familiar to some oldschool mc or hiphop head ??? They said it was from New-York. peace !!!

[@MichaelCDoroc]

Peace 2 my peeps. Tito. Peso and pko records.

[@TheFoundationhiphop]

[@mitchwinthrop]

hey have you done anything on Ronnie Gee of Raptivity fame? I couldn't find anything in your videos. I'd love to know the story of that record. one of my favourite classics.

[@thema1998]

After more than a year, I finally made time for your Fearless Four lesson. EDIT- 3:32 P.M.: *finishes video 10 minutes later* I wish that this could've lasted longer. It was interesting! 🤓

Rest in power to Crazy Eddie.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

@Jayquan One question 0:40 The *Celebrity Club* was the hall that appears on "Step Off" (Melle Mel)* and "Burning Down The House" (Talking Heads) Video?? If not is that, who was those?

[@TheFoundationhiphop]

The Celebrity Club was in New York. The Step Off vid where Mel wears the crown was shot somewhere in the UK...

[@RobertoGinsburg]

@@TheFoundationhiphop Really? is posible, but that club/ballroom with the *Art Deco fan* on the stage *appears on TH video and Cold Crush show at 'Beat This'* documentary' (by the BBC in 1984 in NYC). Maybe it's a venue that doesn't exist today. Thanks for your info ever 😉

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Reachin some, is possible that *could be one of the room of Hotel Diplomat* . That back decoration is a New York classic.

[@hip-hoprapstorage4440]
