Probably the most underrated rapper in the world. Bahamadia represented though with that album.

No, she is NOT under rated. Yall really need to master english better. Under APPRECIATED is what you are looking for. Everybody that knows hiphop, says B's name in lists.

I loved Bahamadia's music. It was smooth but still lyrical and she never had to sell herself to get recognition. A true gem in the 90s.

The best thing about this show is that DJ Premier has such an impressive catalog that we can be here for years discussing his classics.

Equally impressive is his memory, damn remembers everything and everyone.

I feel Bahamadia was held back, because she didn’t have the commercial type “look” that the masses were coming to expect from women rappers at the time. The Kim’s, Foxy’s, Amil’s, Eve’s…Shame, she was an incredible talent. THB is a classic record.

yeah, this is something I don't enjoy. Real organic stuff is usually crowded out by mass market. This happens even in politics etc. Bahamadia was breaking out just when Bad Boy etc were coming in and realizing they could make big money from the masses. Not that I didn't like the Eve's etc, but as a hip hop connoisseur in Kenya, I had to dig independently to find the Bahamadias. The Roots, Fugees etc broke out a bit internationally, but generally most of their type were crowded out. There's an artist from Detroit that I loved, called Mae Day. She's nice but totally unknown.

Bahamadia is one of the most underrated emcees period! Male or Female. I can't wait for 3 the hardway episode!! Honey Buns was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Two many mcees, gifted to name. Solid album all the way thru the Bahamadia joint.

Got into a car accident trying to flip Bahamadia’s cassette bc True Honey Buns was on the other side of the cassette right after Spontenaity song ended. 😂. I still bump Kollage at least twice a week.

This track was on repeat daily. Smooth with dope lyrics. Damn I miss 90's Hip Hop. Premo, Dilla, Pete Rock, Dr. Dre, Q-Tip, Large pro ...

This is one of my favorite beats ever by you Preemo. Bahamadia killed this joint and yes I still have my original copy.

I can’t wait for this I’ve been waiting for one of the Bahamadia Preemo classics from Kollage a Hip Hop Classic Salute to the Philly Queen Bahamadia made our city proud 🔥🔥🔥

I remember people thought premier did total wreck. that beat still goes hard. RIP GURU.

Bahamadia and CL Smooth would have been terror on a track. Either by Pete or Preem. They had the same cadence and vocal inflection. She is a legend forever and always. Philly stand up. And eternal blessings to the Queen.

Bahamadia's album was a front to neck banger. Amazing album. One of m faborites

Me and my dude Whiteboy John.. all day on repeat. He had the single with “unknowhowwedu”. He came for the instrumental but I convinced him to stay for the Song. Bahamadia voice was is so sultry and infectious🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💙 add that to that pounding drum and baseline. Instant vintage. Salute Bahamadia.

I love all the back stories and stuff, but I wish premo would also breakdown how the actual song was constructed. From the choosing of the sample, to moments during the actual studio session! That would be soo dope!

Seeing the video for this song instantly turns me 18 again and transports me back to freshman year in college. Great times. S/O to Premo, Bahamadia, Philly, and the Ohio Players. ;-)

Yo, Bahamadia Collage album still hits. I still have the CD I bought from 1995-96. I play the whole album all the way through. 3 Da Hard Way, Tru Honey Bunz, You Know How we Do tracks still stays hard to me.

You have know idea how much I love Bahamadia. I wish Premo did another full album with her like he did with Group Home. She is so dope. Kollage was a very good album.

"3 The Hard Way" Come on, Preem!

Premo is the greatest. In my opinion he’s probably the only producer that can work with anyone and make an entire album. This is my first time hearing this and it’s fire. Another gem.

I can hear her and Biggie going back and forth on this track …damn

This record ALWAYS stays on any Premo playlist I make. Such a simple but effective beat! Top notch lyrics too!

God bless Bahamadia.

Bahamadia voice and smooth flow are the best, so unique and distinctive.

Had the privilege of meeting and talking with this young queen a while back at the Gavin convention in ATL at a EMI show case, very down to earth, Premo thank you for posting this!!!

One the smoothest beats ever created. Man I roll around the city with this on the instrumental. Salutes Premo.

love Bahamadia! "Fat like Joe when I swing it!" True Honey Buns is my favorite of the 3 you did, Preem. Can we PLEASE get a video for AZ - The Come Up?!

Preemo got classics for thousands years. Grew up listening Gangstarr RIP GURU.

GURU is one of the greatest. Rep Glocksbury R.I.P. legend

Not to many know Bahamadia ...she was super DOPE...a Tru lyracism...from a different vein of woman MC...she was RAW and her mystique style was incredible

Good choice for this one! Bahamadia is mad underrated and she's always one of my go-to's when ignorant ass fools try to say there's no good female rappers but the only female rappers they even know of are Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.

Props to Bahamadia. This is the very first time I hear of her...i cant wait to explore this mc. RIP GURU RESPECT THE DJ PREMIER #REALHIPHOP

This was on my request list. Thanks again premo! Kollage album a classic!

One of my favorite Preemo joints

Perfect tune. Her voice is hypnotizing

Another classic. Proud to be the owner of so many of these originals. These are the true NFT's

I was literally listening to Kollage today....this is one of the most infectious beats ever made salute the BB Queen and DJ Premier 🫡

Bahamadia is one of the BEST FEMALE M.Cs EVER!! ONE❤

We need that Paula Perry joint man!

Love and Respect to Queen Bahamadia! Classic album and addictive track with True Honey Buns 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I still have her cassette locked away with my 90s - 2000s collection.

one of my favs. the way preme flipped that sample was crazy

Bahamadia did not mess around

THANK YOU! This is one I’ve been waiting for. Love this song. Love this album. Personally, Bahamadia is my most favorite female rapper. This is one of the very few premier produced tracks without his signature cuts. And this song didn’t need them. The hook, the delivery, the sounds and the concept was PERFECT. Excellent episode!

Thank you DJ Premier for this series. This man is the living embodiment of hip hop. People gotta check out Da 5 Footaz. They performed alongside Biggie, Snoop and the Dogg Pound, Wu Tang, Warren G and RUNDMC in 1995 in Philadelphia and those girls killed it. Check out their albums Lost Scrolls and Lifetime.

Premier was that dude in the 90’s and should get the same respect if not more as all the other DJ’s that are overrated.

I was 1st introduced to Bahamadia thru Guru"s Jazzmatazz series on the track, Respect The Architect & I was immediately impressed & listened to more of her work & was delighted...

Baham'D kollege is classic Hip Hop 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

Loveeee Bahamadia. One of my favorites no question. Period. Full stop. Too many to name, really, but one of my favorites that comes to mind quick is Chaos ft Talib. Oh and also Be OK wit Rah Digga!!?! Shit son. Bahamadia is soooo underated by all but the real heads out here...

3 the hard way is a top 25 all time joint in my book

It's great to see someone still talking about the floppy disc

I somehow missed this gem back then Anotha Preemo banger👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Bahamadia is a legend. Can't wait to see your series for "3 Tha Hard Way' . Yo you gotta do Non Phixion - Rock Star. I'm very interested to hear your story behind this one.

What a fucking joint. Absolute classic

Her flow has always been amazing. Shiiiiiit I bet she still will beat them girls down. Bahamadia's flow was awesome
