Rough. Rugged. Raw.
These are 3 words that we at themeaningofdope associate with the one called Tim Dog and in this interview conducted for Streetsounds magazine he definitely does not disappoint.
Here, he talks about “Fuck Compton”, PM Dawn and the “humourous side of being locked up”… PEEP.
*BTW-This joint is THE SCHITT:
*Tim Dog-”Timberlands”*
Part 2 of the Beatnuts interview and concert footage from the show that featured Common Sense, The Beatnuts, Boogiemonsters & Troubleneck Bros. 03.03.95 at the Opera House, in Toronto. At one point while they were filming there was definitely a fight going on down the street. They make a couple comments on it at the beginning. Shit was still a bit wild in 1995.
My favourite shit is how Fashion is stashing his Labatt Ice in his leather out on the street.
One of the best possie cuts to come out of the late 90’s. Redman, Method Man, LL Cool J, and the dog DMX. But Where’s Canibus? We all know the story.
Produced by none other than Erick Sermon, this beat was fire. This instrumental got a lot of burn during the time.
You cannot front on her “ruggedness”. A lot of female MC’s can act like there hard but usually come off sounding wack, Heather B is the real deal. Judging by some of her raps, I think she has probably murdered somebody in her lifetime, no joke.
This is a clip of her going off while on tour with BDP. I cant think of too many female MC’s that were holding it down like this back in 1990.
I had to fit this track in here somewhere, definitely one of her hottest joints. The fact that she can hold it down with MOP on the hardcore tip says it all.
A forgotten performance by the late Biggie Smalls. This was originally aired on the Jon Stewart show.
The quality of this video was caused by many years of dust and EP mode didn’t help either.
This show was amazing. I know this tour went through the whole US and Fashion even wrote a whole track about it when he did his solo Al Tariq album. The track was called Think Not off the God Connections album, and the tour featured Beatnuts, Artifacts, Organized Konfusion, and Common Sense.
By the time it reached here, it was Beatnuts(minus Juju), Common Sense, Boogiemonsters, and Troubleneck Brothers.
Still an ill show, but Juju not being there was the wack shit. They actually had a dude on stage kicking his verses…you’ll see him in the clip. No mention was made of why he wasn’t there but suffice it to say he was missed.
Anyways, here’s a clip of some interview footy with Les and Fashion and some concert footage thrown in too. I have more of this interview and footage coming, so stay tuned.
This footage might actually be from 94. Like March/April 1994 to be exact. I’m in this crowd, dolo and a mixture of elated and shook because this crowd and the dudes outside robbing cats for tickets, etc were not a joke.
This venue was the sketchiest, borderline illegal spot I’ve ever been to. Shocking that no one got capped or stabbed that night.
Who knew Hiero had such a following of thugs? Maybe these dudes were just coming to rob people? Either way, shit was not sweet in Downtown Toronto at this time.
I could watch old Naughty By Nature footage ALL DAY. This is just another example of why they were one of the most popular rap groups in the 90s. Treachery absolutely RIPS it.
Watch Naughty perform what my man Kaewonder considers to be one of the top party jams of all time… Uptown Anthem.
Much more to come from this performance.
Not really. This is the hardest(pause) song of Heavy D’s career for sure. Doesn’t come off as fronting either, he kills this track. I think it was a B-Side to Don’t Curse so basically this was the pinnacle of Hev’s career when these 2 joints came out at the same time.
This video is from Arsenio and Hev must have been a big enough artist to merit an interview since Chunky A. gives them a full segment where he and The Boyz talk about their first jobs, amongst other things.
Those were exactly the words you wanted to hear in 1991-1993. The Soul Brother remixing a track=automatic purchase. Oh the single is out? Oh, there’s a Pete Rock Remix? Nahh I don’t need to listen to that one, I’ll just grab it.
What is unusual, however is a remix version of a track getting a video when the OG has already been in heavy rotation. That’s exactly the case with the Jump Around Remix video. The video itself is slightly different, but it’s obviously the track that makes this one so much better than the album version.
Pete Rock Remixes>Everything in the early 90’s before Premo really got on his remix grizzly.
