Live From The Basement is on a quest to shine a light on the musical and cultural background behind hip-hop. We host insightful artist interviews, showcases and more, celebrating the culture we love by talking to iconic performers who made (and keep making) rap history.
We have been running our podcast for over 10 years independently: eventually, our vision expanded into a multi-textural and eclectic show focusing on several aspects of hip-hop culture and discussion.
With an ever increasing passion and dedication, Live From The Basement still aims to feature thought-provoking and insightful content bridging the gaps between music, culture and lifestyle.

who made it here looking for a sample😄
Quality! Sweet interview. Good presentation, questions and content. MC Ren- still the villain in black. Dope!!!!!
I saw this special in '81 when it first aired on Ch. 7. It truly represented the calm before the storm.
shock of the hour-much respect to the artistry
Name of the reggae song?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So Rap was began by a white woman. Who knew
Hip hop has been very destructive and demoralizing to the Black community!!
it was a cube n dre movie..nuttin wrong with that but the should use that as a title as well then
Phuck mc ren. If he thinks it cool to see DEE BARNES BEAT UP THE WAY SHE WAS. THATS WHY YOUR CAREER IS IN THE TOILET. KARMA.
Ren always busted after Cube on most of the songs, so more can anyone say😊😊😊😊
Stellar
I´m from Portugal, I remenber like it was yesterday me buying the niggas4life album in 91, then me and my friends all going toghter to a friend´s house and listen the whole album, man that was so dope, I really loved niggaz4life, in the same year came the Apocalipse 91 from PE, but that I didnt like so much compared to the other 3 albuns.
Ooo you hit it right on the head when you said, the music today (shit been like this for a good minute if you ask me) is all shiny and how NWA was straight grimy. I've been calling it brag rap. Nothing like it used to be
Did mc ren ever argued with ice cube and mc ren after they did the movie?
Oooo my God! i was looking so hard for this Kurtis blow performance, I just saw some cuts but never original video, finally I found it, accidentally. Many thanks for posting this.
Cube🌎✊🏾👑🐐
The movie was way too focused on Dre and never showed the success of Ruthless after he left NWA. Easy E, Ren, Yella, BG Knocc Out, Gangsta Dresta and Sylk continued to produced solid songs after NWA broke up.
Much Love to the Ruthless Villain from Baltimore Maryland 💪🏿💯
One of THOSE KIDS WHO SITTING THE CAR AND RAPPING is Leo, Brian, THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF MASTER G FROM THE SUGARHILL gang
? Can NWA b considered the 4 father's
Oh no, not anyone can rap.
5:09 - Uh, there have been plenty of blacks in South America _and_ several European countries for centuries. 😄
5:25 this is the start of poor messaging - now everyone claiming something that’s not theirs
YES!! YES!! I noticed that, IMMEDIATELY!! Here is one of DECADES of examples of our Black elders selling us out. And others gladly jump on the "popular" train🙄. BLONDIE🙄
MC REN I8S A EMCEE GOAT!!!!
Nice interview with music rapper MC Ren of NWA. MC Ren, Ice Cube of NWA, Willie D of Geto Boys, Scarface of Geto Boys, Redman, Run DMC(RIP Jam Master Jay), 2Pac Shakur(RIP), Foxy Brown, Gang Starr(RIP Guru), Tim Dog(RIP), LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest(RIP Phife Dawg), Naughty By Nature, KRS One of Boogie Down Productions, Ice T are my favorite music rappers.
I’m 51 and I heard the ice T and glove when I was 10. Damm!!
Frustrating as hell right?
Thats the thing... regardless of it being a documentary, having the real people from the real life experiences, or no matter how close to the truth a movie or show gets, its still...not...the...real real 🙆🏾♀️ I stress myself with thoughts like, "ok but what really happened" "I wonder.." 👏🏾😂 like I need you smart ash scientist building all this other xy and z to get a move on with this timw travel because me!!? Just let me be a fly on the wall 🙆🏾♀️😭
Dope ass interview, Ren deserves more respect so thanks for giving him his flowers
Origins in the South
The movie was a love letter from Ice Cube and Dr. Dre to Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.
Which part of the movie is he in
Stop sleeping on Mc Ren
The so-called African-Americans are the greatest people on earth
The NWA Movie should've been a series
His voice is fine❤
Ruthless Gangsta Definition: Villain!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🙌
Ren character was trashing was pissed off
Introducing: NWA 😢
What?
Ren was just as important to NWA as anyone else
NWA (Skill wise) 1) The DOC 2) Mc Ren 3) Ice Cube
I liked Cube n Ren equally, I dont understand why Ren didnt have that great solo career
Ren should have returned free with "So don't front Ice cube , I remember when u was sitting on the porch watching the Hype dudes"
Is MC Ren that good on the mic it is just i have never heard of him other than being in NWA never heard him in that if anyone can let me know on what i can listen to anything
😂🤣😂🤣omg. I was born in 81 and this footage looks so ancient😩
And NOW look at "Rap" lol TRASH+1000
IT WAS " FRESH " 😊
can i use clips in a song i have dedicted to hip hop for a song no curses in vs
This interview is jacked up. The interviewers have no logic of NWA and didn’t ask about Arabian Prince who was the first to leave the group. Waste of a video.
Pigmeat markham here comes the judge rap 1968.
