My favorite Emcee GrandPuba Maxwell

Grand Puba is one of the greatest well dressed emcee. His lyrical game was always on point my friend.

The Masters Of Ceremony are legends! "Dynamite" 🧨💥

PEACE to Dr. Who and DJ Shabazz!!! ...and Don Baron Turski!

I've said it before. And I'll keep saying it forever. All For One changed my life. Literally. I was 13 (shout out to my classmate D-Los who upped me to BN in Ms Greers History class). That album (along with reading Malcolm for the first time that same year) set my life on a course that I still follow to this day. Thank you my brothers...

You can see the love and respect that Lord Jamar has for Puba. It’s great to see the Gods connect on his platform.

Thank you for this interview 🙏🏽. Grand Puba is a lyrical GOD. He's the blueprint for our music.

Puba still cool as ever. Enjoyed the whole 22 minutes

One of my favorite groups of All Times and one of my favorite MCs of All time, plus I had the pleasure to tell em..Grand Puba Maxwell is a Moster with the pen 🖊 Great build. 💪🏿

Awww ish THE ATTRIBUTE HAGI !! THESE BROTHERS ARE THE REASON WHY MY LIFE IS GREAT!!✌🏽✌🏽

Puba’s lyrical content is highly underrated. Brand Nubian was the soundtrack for my senior year.

Peace to the God HAGI ALLAH ( Grand Puba ) I was 14 when y'all came out and I was representing the 5% on the west coast in Love Allah ( LA ) ✌🏾💯

I did dig how Ģrand Puba, got in that ass too....he was simply being the protector of fam; lord didn't retract though....knowledge...respect!🖤

Grand Puba is one hip hop's greatest mc''s.He is in my top 25 !

It is simple amazing how, one can dream and manifest, in one life....the god and Pubba; is exemplary symbols of such point! One love, peace to the the god and Most High 🙏🎤🎶🖤

Man this guy i grew listening too, and wow the guy can back up street cred and the talent of rap and Mc at that time frame of the beging of the genre, this cat has so many followers and influenced individuals like biggie smalls etc, this cat is fire and should be super rich right now just because of his talent alone, i would love for him to come up with a new new track just to lay it out there and let these kids know why rap is on the map and that is because of talent masters of their game Grand Puba, i mean Biggie Smalls was a lover of him and got influenced by this man and thank God we have the opportunity to see him on youtube. I really really hope he comes back with a old school style track to just make us older heads happy, hey Puba man if you see this i want to tell you im a very big fan of yours and would love to see you up in Jersey if you ever around here, I'm in the Newark area which i know for a fact you're familiar with, so good luck to you my brotha and hope you get some tracks out here to the public.

Brand Nubian definitely top 10.... Big Up

Puba is one of my favorite MCs of all time, definitely a Titan in the game

Don't let it go to your head now 💯

Your absolutely right Ralph played that Kilimanjaro performance of y’all . Ya’ll be came my group. I gained knowledge of self after that I was already ready books like the paleman and message to the Blackman Brand Nubian was the soundtrack to my life going to school. Peace to the Gods !

Real valued hip hop ourstory! All for one!!!

Let’s get it the bottom of the per-diem stories 🤣😂 all love though

One of my favorites in hiphop Along with Tribe and Gangstar🎶🎶

Brand Nubian was my fav group in 91. I was 13. White kid who loved hip hop. Grew up in a small mostly white town in South Jersey near Philly. Plenty of kids were rocking All for One. Hope these 2 legends (And X) know the impact they’ve had on the world

Peace, love both you guys been going back and listening to your music. The knowledge, wisdom and understanding you guys dropped was ahead of your time. You made consciousness cool, my man put me onto you guys back in the days and been listening ever since. Glad to see the Gods still shining.

We need to get the Brotha Puba in shape.

yo I still rock that Masters of Ceremony album. "Redder's Posse" that was my favorite joint ....word

Incredible music with intelligence and intelect with wisdom and knowledge and music that was in the now ! A group that stood on their principals !

Legendary...Video music box all day classic , brand nubian ..legendary

I still listen to Grand Puba masters of ceremony and 360 and Brand Nubians One For All to this day everyday. Y’all sound is timeless. I had a crazy crush on Grand Puba still do. I remember seeing Brand Nubians on the FDR back in the 90s. Those were the best of times. Grand Puba you married? Heyyyy, I can cook. What’s the 411.

Probably my fav group. That raw 90's hip hop explosion was fierce Brand Nubs was leading it....nuff respect due to Brand Nu

Hard life lessons, even when ur doing the right thing by standing up, the overseers can make u take a seat 😪

I was in park west in 86 and puba was burning cats in the lunch room and I don't even think he went to park west!

We Need 1 More Brand Nubian Album!!!!!!!

As the brother that was there as a break dancer for Master of Ceremony, song in the background on "you try to do me (introduced Puba to my boy Dave Hall who produced the record)" for Brand Nubian, watching Jamal and X develop under Puba at Bill Brickles to Jazzy Studio's on Allerton Ave; this right here is pure facts! From hanging out at Doctor Who's crib, him being a true lyricist as well as low key, X always being a dope as lyracist and to lord Jamal first being a DJ then, rapper and producer (did it all like Puba); these brother deserve their flowers because most people don't understand the dedication and crafting of your skills it takes to develop such an iconic group and albums. Also, most people don't know Puba was definitely shopping them first, as solo artist. More importantly, it all started at Bill Brickles crib as the epicenter in developing both groups (Masters of Ceremony and Brand Nubian); he often isn't mentioned. Come to think of it, Puba and Shabazz actually taught me how drive lol! Good brothers, great families and great times!!!

This is incredible hearing these stories. Basically my adolescence

This is pretty amazing. Lord j is basically saying I was just here for the ride and had no real imput on business or even the group… and saw the other angles of the two g’s that had all the keys… and it’s pretty amazing how grand p knew the whole plan. Lord j is very very very blessed as grand puba knew that the only way this would work is if he was in the group because he knew the chances of success are very very small without him. This is probably the realist shit I’ve seen from hip hop in a hot minute…. I also get a kick out of how grand p is basically ready to drop bombs on everyone that’s not shemite. Hahaha

Love Brand Nubian. They don't make them like no more. Respect.

Dr. Who was nice. Those M.O.C bars on “Dynamite” and “Roc Steady” were hard as fuck!

PEACE TA THE GODZ & THE EARTHZ... Puba'z a TOP MC. If you don't have a favorite Puba Song, or @ Least Verse............. You don't Know Hip-Hop...✊🏿

Video Music Box was the blueprint of how to do a 1st Class Hip Hop Show and Yo! MTV Raps have them to thank for it.. Wake Up is my favorite Brand Nubian group video. So glad to see this build session with The Gods.. Sadat coming in on the surprise would have been STELLAR..

This just takes me back to my beginnings of hip hop. “Slow Down” is my first serious song I could really understand (real life -still crack era) I would rhyme that song all day in high school lol Peace to the Gods! Love that You have a show God! Peace

Dante Ross was definitely the visionary. Brand Nubian one of tightest groups.

Salute 2 Don Baron. I loved his solo album called Young Gifted and Black.

The video music box did it for me after master of ceremony because puba was the #1 after Kane
