[@binnybrand2563]

WTF. Top 5 all time !!!! Should be a. Million comments as hell going on

[@azatbello1860]

One of the greatest ever raps shows i ever witnessed along with Big Daddy Kane at Brixton Academy big respect to Ultramagnetics.

[@kaycartledge4542]

This was hard , it touches my soul 💯 have you ever seen onyx they did they same thing when I saw them ,it was amazing just like this ..the way they ripped the microphone is poetic

[@azatbello1860]

[@stypeones2977]

This is simply one of the greatest displays of Hip Hop you’ll ever see.

По-любому достойны! Отличный вкус. Critical Beatdown настолько великий альбом, что о нём слышали даже люди, далёкие от рэпа.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

I luv that intro from DJ Moe Luv with "Nautilus" (Bob James) and "UFO" (ESG).

[@dougsmith7083]

What an absolute treasure! Prime time capture of a legendary groiup of ferocious young men dealing out verbal gymnastics over solid/purposeful beats...taking no prisoners...making history...creating magic

[@MattHall]

For the people asking about the beats... these are classic samples that were used by all sorts of groups in the late 80s and early 90s. Ced-Gee was the main producer for a lot of the early Ultramagnetic MCs stuff.

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

That’s where you are wrong, nobody was using the same beats as ultra back then, as they were completely original, others used them after...

[@scarfocamorra3629]

Nautilus?

[@BTman58]

@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain You are out of your mind if you believe they weren't using the same beats/samples as others and people only started using such beats/samples only after they used them.

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

NK true I was listening to hip hop back then and when critical beatdown dropped it was like no other style , your deluded and obviously young and wasn’t around at the time..If you were then u wouldn’t post such twoddle... Jogg on pipsqueek...!!

[@MattHall]

@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain never said they weren't the first, I just said that they were commonly flipped samples

[@kaycartledge4542]

Whoever put this on here thank you so much , this is a absolute classic and only those who grew up in this era knows that they were straight fire 🔥 my first love was crazy about them 💘 its 2024 and i keep on watching this thanks and God bless

[@pipes7120]

I WAS AT this show!!! Ultra was MY group back then!! Yes I’m aging myself MEMORIES 🔥🔥🔥

[@0Moreno0]

I miss the golden era.

[@techsales1659]

The Album was called Critical Beatdown. I have the 12in vinyl. One of the greatest! Laid the foundation. Also Ced Gee was a major producer for KRS on Criminal Minded.

[@77Spionkop]

Probably the coolest thing ive everseen.

[@andreygermanov4363]

Koolest!

[@kaycartledge4542]

I showed this to a 30year old and he was absolutely amazed and he kept asking me their name 💯 lol

[@chipseven3203]

Thank you Sir Westwood for bringing them out to London,filming this classic piece of hip hop history,and uploading this gem

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

Wow when they dropped Ease Back - full formation 😎

[@TheEnthusiast1973]

You just can't bring this era back, it was a certain scene at a certain time, a vibe that is not gonna be replicated in 2013 by nostalgic 40-50 somethings. Lets just remember what a great time it was back then and what a priveledge to be a hip hop head in those incredible days. I never made it to this jam, but it still brings memories of Hip Hop back then and the vibe before it went soft and lost it's edge.

[@joojee7297]

Is sad

[@joojee7297]

[@telldtruth6803]

Well said!

[@jeroenpost2260]

Still killin it in 2023.....wauw what a show......I was in Rotterdam that time late 80's beginning 90's and was with some dope shows of BDP, PE, Ice T Cube Jungle Brothers Gangstarr in Rotterdam and Amsterdam....

[@JayNubi]

I was here in the flesh.17 years old.What a night.

[@CraigSolo]

I remember seeing these guys in July 92' at Linford Street Studios. Classic gig! I'd love to see that on here. I always remember Keith performing Poppa Large wearing a straight jacket.

[@tehanntic]

I remember that, I was there. Any video's if tat gig on You Tube?

[@petopiedra268]

Tim Westwood you are a Pioneer brother from another. I truly appreciate this video. You made the fire within come a full blaze. #ultramagneticmcs

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

to be fair they were a full fledged radio program not just one person and their job was to select up and coming music to promote and play . Not exactly a Pioneer of anything.

[@DJMarcDavis1]

Starwars, Nautilus, UFO, Funky drummer! DJ Moe Love killed it!

[@bah03]

Classic night, I took my little sister and her friend to this session and we was at the front then the side door got bum rush and our front position we ended up near the back...lol....then a few week later same venue I came to check you Westwood for a copy of the video and I’ve still got it to this day 😜

This might be the best 29 minutes of rapping EVER! Shout out to Kool Keith. All kinds of Awesome! Cj!

[@Wajimacallit]

That Junior Mafia record came out five years after this gig. It's ESG, the original sample that track used.

[@donpresent]

Classic Ultra!!! Salute to Stezo in the back.

[@terrypussypower]

Did STEZO do his own set at this gig? I was there to record the Ultramagnetics but didn't get there early enough to tape anyone else. But someone told me later on that STEZO had actually did a set earlier in the night and that really pissed me off as I loved STEZO.

[@djstace808]

Shiiiit!!! Memories. I was at this with my crew. Excellent show from my favourite ever Hip Hop group. ...and correction. It wasn't Outlaw Posse that opened it was Uncle B-Nice.

[@djriza]

PrAnG2000 Thanks for the correction i am the F9's Dj Mr Islam i am pissed of every time people say it was Outlaw Posse because we actually performed twice one in 1989 when the doors was bum rushed and the one above 1990 that night had Double Trouble promoting there "Dub Be Good To Me"

[@PrAnG2000]

riza tatlici I don't even know why I said Outlaw, cos I've never seen them live. Lol I remember you guys album. You guys were chopping samples like crazy.

+riza tatlici Whoa,Mr.Islam!!..I picked up the f9s lp for my birthday and it blew me away!..Im Clear is my shit!!.."Mr.Islam,do you really wanna hear a record that you cant hear"..I went on to record with DJ Leader One on Music of Life(unreleased) and years later when signed to Zebra Traffic performed at a anti bullying gig in Stoke Newington school and saw a set by a guy called Lyrical..I said "Man,your UB Nice"!..I was geeked man...Your shit was unique!..Big Respect!

[@terrypussypower]

Someone told me that STEZO played at this gig earlier in the night, and I've been pissed off ever since I heard that, as I was at this gig with a Sony Professional Walkman to record the Ultramagnetics, and always thought I'd missed the opportunity to record STEZO as well, by not getting there earlier enough!

[@pudripudri]

Hello everybody! I also have a question, and I hope someone can help me! I listened to this whole live, and I don't know the name of the first song from the interval 2:36 - 5:31! This song is very similar to the instrumental song "Rebel Without A Pause" sung by Public Enemy in 1987! And I noticed that the instrumental of this song used samples from the song "Funky Drummer" sung by James Brown in the 70s! My question is: what is the name of the song sung by Ultramagnetic MC's from the interval 2:36 - 5:31? Thank you very much, and I await your answers!
