Exactly I'm 21 and Ultramagnetic MC's are one of my favorite groups of all time. If it wasn't for hearing Ego Trippin on THUG 2 I probably wouldn't be here lol. Also I feel like Ced Gee deserves a lot more credit as a producer.

Critical Beatdown is 1 of the most underrated and overlooked gems of 80s hip hop & also 1 of the best group albums ever made period. This does NOT get enough props or mentions that it rightfully deserves in hip hop history by the majority of fans.

Ced is the most underrated producer if all time in hip-hop, crazy cause he is one of the best that ever did it.

Wooow!! Nuff respect to to Sway and the crew for having Hip Hop pioneers Ultramagnetic MCs on the show!! Kool Keith and Ced Gee are LEGENDARY in Hip Hop as DOPE eMCees and producers!! Why was the interview so short?! They need to return, I know that got maaaad stories to share, WORD!!

The Ultramagnetic M.C.s are Hip Hop hidden gems man.

In my 50 years of living nothing in hip hop has stayed in my brain as ultramagnetic MC's. The best is captivating and unique, the rhyming, on a PHD level. Pure 🔥🔥🔥

These Brothers were just waaaaay ahead of their time!! People still not caught up since 30 years ago

I don't usually comment on videos but Kool Keith is just on another level looking down.

Still listening to that album today from when I first bought it on vinyl back then. When they dropped chorus line man I had that on repeat. I think I bought 2 live crew album too on the same day. Best days back then. Would buy a record every 2 weeks.

Sway please upload the rest of the interview. My favorite group I never forget seen them live at USA Roller Skating Ring in Queens NY. They rolled like 30 man crew on the stage and destroyed Ego Tripping, Funky, Feeling it. 32 year ago awesome times..

Nuff respect to sway for bringing in a massive massive iconic group. Highly respected, STILL loved and revered here in the U.K & Europe -ULTRA!!

One of my favorite groups hands down 😍

edit: Where's the whole video?? " It seems weird, ya head is triangle!! " " Mandatory, capital statements, I am the teacher, teaching what makes sense " Critical Beatdown has so many off-kilter rhymes and they're still fresh today. The album still stands up production wise and I know fans of the album that are electronic music nerds/metalheads/psychedelic rock fanatics etc. It has a wide appeal because of the color, personality and overall quirkiness of the album. And it absolutely BANGS.

I remembered hearing the Ultramagnetic M.C.s for the first time in 1986 when I purchased "D.J. Red Alert Goes Berserk" compilation album. Ultramagnetic M.C.s had two singles on the album called "Ego Trippin" and "Bait." I was hooked since. They started releasing singles "Traveling at the speed of thought", "Funky", "Funky Introduction" Ced-Gee is a pioneer using the SP-1200 sampler. He produced Boogie Down Productions "Criminal Minded" album and produced the Grandmaster Caz single "The get down". Ged-Gee is so underrated as a producer and Kool Keith is so underrated as an emcee-Legends!!!

Salute to Ultra! Critical Beatdown inspired me so much. Glad to see Ced Gee getting recognition for his innovative production and Kool Keith for his unorthodox style.

I Refuse to Put any Hip Hop Album ahead of Ultramagnetic's Critical Beatdown Based simply on the fact that it Inspired so many MC's and DJ's during that Golden age of Hip Hop. Paid in Full, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, Enter the Wu Tang 36 Chambers and It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back are in the same Category but Critical Beatdown is at the top.

Salute to the kings 👏👏👏👏

I was introduced to Keith from The Prodigy sampling him in the early 90s and eventually even doing tracks with him. I have bought 30+ of his albums and group projects over the years. One of my favourite rappers of all time.

One of my favorite groups. Ego Trippin!!!

It should be hard for me to pick my fave Hip Hop LP of all time. I would struggle to select my fave soul, Jazz, Reggae etc albums BUT Its an easy one for me. Critical beatdown hands down. So ahead of its time both lyrically and Production wise. All crafted under the masterful ear of the late GREAT Paul C. MAXIMUM RESPECTto everyone involved in this bona fide masterpiece.

I'm still listening to ultra magnetic MCs

Bruh, that's wild as hell. Why was I literally just listening to "Ego Trippin'" YESTERDAY thinking how ahead of their time Ultramag was not even realizing the 30 year anniversary of the album was today?!? Legends right here, respect to big OG Sway.

Critical Beatdown is for me the blueprint of Hip Hop. A pure classic.
