This is a tail tale sign of when Hip Hop was authentic and each region had its own, sound, culture and feel.

That’s how it used to be. Now they all sound the same. Same flow, autotune, mumble, beats, all named Lil.

@@bigghoww social media in essence made the world smaller and got access to places and things they never would have access to. Made it easier to hear music and ride a wave for clout. You stop sounding like where you from and that is the draw, BEING DIFFERENT 💯

Really? Their albums were from 88-91. EPMD, NWA, Big Daddy Kane, KRS One, Slick Rick, Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Too Short, Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, Doug E. Fresh and Biz Markie were killing sh*t from 88-91. Kid N Play made your childhood though? Ok

Damn. Herbie went down south and came back with arguably Salt N Pepa's biggest hit. Personally, nothing is better than My Mike Sounds Nice... check one!!!

Gotta love the late 80's and the 90's

Throw the D was 2 Live Crew.

This is an incredible interview!

Kid n’ Play with my favorite group back in the day

Dope interview Willie.👊

Big up to all of yall

Shout out to Kid and Play 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯

Herbie Hancock made Push It from coming down south and hearing booty music is crazy...he said he gonna make one of those and he sure did, you can still play Push It at a party and people will lose they minds🤣😂

Great interview 😀 Glad I caught this one.

Love me some Too Short!!!! He's a legend!!!!

Nah NY (& tri-state at large) knew Geto Boys! I had their cds & 🔥 mix tapes that they were on! Red Alert & Flex kept them in circulation on air & played them in hip hop clubs & anywhere else they dj’d! Plus Geto Boys was part of NY popular radio dj’s west coast lineup

Ready Red was from New Jersey and the Geto Boys early sound was heavily influenced by Red’s touch which was thoroughly east coast influenced. That early sound would have been something different without Red. The gritty lyrics was Houston urban life late 80s and early 90s which was grimy, all that candy paint, sippin lean and wearing Versace shades came later. Before that it was the grittiness portrayed in the lyrics; but, Red’s choice of samples paired with the lyrics is what made it special. Shout out to Ready Red from San Anto , Texas/Homestead and Langley on that north side.

I think what they mean is that yeah they knew the music, but they didn't know the people and hadn't seen them control a crowd before.

this was great !!!

If this was the concert with Too $hort at the Amazon Even I was there lol.

Not many rap albums made it to the market in those days

Is that kid or Peter gunz 😂😂😅

Oakland in the house

Im listening to Play speak on how NY's demeanor was about other areas and also thinking about how folks trip'n on BiggGipp's reaction to NY and if its making sense to them hearing it..If thats making any sense

That’s the way it was. You always had to prove yourself first and that was within the city and outside. For example, if you introduced a Brooklyn MC in Manhattan, the Brooklyn dude was going to get boed until he proves himself. Even if you were from up the block, that’s how it was going to go on this bock. Plus, kid and play is commercial. NYC used to be about bars and skills for the most part.

@@AChildofSmokeyhollow ..I think most rappers want to rock a crowd and have their music appreciated. Too Short is a legend, but I can name 10 rappers from the Bay who are better rappers than him. The game changed where it’s not the best rapper who excels, but it’s depends on other stuff like production, image, gimmicks, street image, location, cosigns, money, etc. There are true MCs everywhere though. I think Willie D is a true MC.

Never rapped about Ops and guns.

I am currently packaging a comedy ; originally written in 1990 for KID AND PLAY ; working through their business manager; SHERI ALPERT; and it is still my hope that once before i die and they die; i can hear them read the play ; do a reading even if its just in a rehearsal room; but fantasy is to get a 199 seat theater and do a reading of the play with them in it ? now its obviously younger people ; but i would love that; that is a fantasy i have
