...As does Cappadonna on 'Winter Warz'; Redman on 'Hardcore'; K-Solo on 'Spellbound'; Snoop Dogg on 'Deep Cover'; AZ on 'Life's a Bitch'; Nas on 'Live At The BBQ' just to name a few... All viable and notable contenders to this title...
@@Toronegro98 Love this list! Big L. 'Yes you may remix', Saafir 'That Bullshit', Tupac 'Same Song', Cool Breeze "Dirty South', Beanie Sigel "Do It Again", Foxy Brown 'Who Shot Ya'. Soooo many more that I cant even think of now
I'm high strung at the top of my lung with my tongue makin hardcore niggaz want to get dumb My dialogue comes straight from the slums Damage to your medula, cerebrum and cerebellum.. * ya got a crew ya better tell em*
Can someone explain to me the underground, I used to think it was a metaphor for things covered, hidden or less known, but since learning more about conspiracy theories, deep underground military bases, Tartaria building cities on top of cities I presume it’s somthing more, like underground smuggling routes, inner earth civilisations idk. Someone let me know
every MC that EPMD brought to the table had a style that was unheard of... K-Solo, Redman, Das EFX, Keith Murray... and even though he didn't have as successful of a career, Top Quality.
The days of Karl Kani boots in burgundy with Carhartt hoodies baby...Yo this track cemented Ericks production.this was the perfect track to segway Murray
Yeah, they'd bring out somebody from their crew. That was dope to introduce them to the world. Not get a feature from somebody that's already out there
"It's 96° in the shade, before I catch blood on my blade--I take my frustration to the stage" If I had a nickel for every time I've said that bar. This was gritty, filthy, unforgiving hip hop right here. Still loving this in 2022!!
This shit right here still lyrically shit on today's hip hop. Classic real rap. S/O to the cats that rocked Champion hoodies & Carhart back then. While drinking 40's & Rollin Phillie blunts
William McGee because you're comparing 2 different eras of rap where you have one where lyrics with just a smooth flow and no real meaning behind it was considered acceptable. When if this verse was spit today it would be deemed as just an average verse. Compared to a modern day verse where its a must that the rapper have punchlines, double meanings and flow to be considered a very good verse.
nkflier45 thank you for clarifying that. I understand that it's two different eras of rap. I was saying that you can feel the hunger & intensity in Keith Murray's verse. Which a good number of today's rappers don't have.
William McGee its all about perception, an aggressive flow its going over well today...Meek Mill has an aggressive flow and gets ridiculed for "yelling" all the time. THe rappers conform with the times
ERICK SERMON...Hedz really need to acknowledge the E-Double as one of the ALL-time DOPEST Hip Hop producers. No joke he needs to be up there with Primo, Marley Marl, Pete Rock, Havoc and RZA. The E's musical contributions to Hip Hop are Maaaaaad underrated, not only as one-half of THE greatest Hip Hop duo of all-times a.k.a EPMD but also as a solo artist and producer. F*ck that, Erick Sermon IS Hip Hop!
I copped the cassette and played Hostle 5 times straight. Had people looking at me like what the??? I used to be on 125th Park ave. Keith came to the weed spot that used to be there in a Porsche. I'm thinking to myself who is this guy he looks familiar. This was in 1993.
I was a working at Beat non Stop and this track was highly anticipated simply for the fact of this kid named Keith Murray...one verse is all it took....history!
Age ain't nuthin but a number. Double negative and entendres. I'm sumthin like a hummer, more power than Russel on the thunder or black mamba at the buzzer. Rustle with me ill leave you 6 feet deep under the cemetery in a slumber is what you'll be from the muthafuckas 29 and under.
This is the greatest introduction of a new rapper ever as a feature. The second greatest was REDMAN on da headbanger. Erick Sermon had a crazy ear for talent back in the early 90's. He found Das Efx too. My bad REDMAN's introduction was on Hardcore
"Peace to Keith Murray" (-E. Sermon Music one of my favorite songs EVER) been going viral on the internet Dec '22-Jan '23. So now RUclips is feeding me interviews that HAVEN'T gone viral. So Keith telling these stories and the host mentions a video "when you flipped the razor blade under your tongue" "yeah in E's video Hostile" pause interview to dig in the crate🙌🏿🙏🏿🤲🏿💪🏿💙🧠🎤
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
"Pull out my get busy tools".. sick
The world stopped.........when Keith debuted this verse!
You ain’t lying. I remember!
No fuckin doubt....probably one of the mind blowing verses I've ever heard !
Facts
I remember when I first saw the video. I knew greatness had emerged!
Agreed
Keith Murray with the razor-blade has to be one of the most memorable moments in a music video ever.
Definitely an ill moment
Yessir!
That's exactly why I watch this video.
Keith Murray could've made his teeth bleed with razor blade in his mouth. Ain't nothing cool about having a razor blade in your mouth.
That, and him standing on top of the black Lex SC400 coupe in the most beautifulest video! That's when they first dropped,
"Damage to your medulla, cerebrum and cerebellum
You got a crew you better tell 'em"
One of the top hottest bars of all time.
+MrSilksoul Yeah that shit was going on in my head at work ha lol!
word.
+MrSilksoul Yo this nigga is a work genius, you agree?
one of the few when it's his verse...everyone in the car gets quiet to listen..
MrSilksoul
The finest 'feat.' verse in the history of rap? Quite possibly...
Keith Murray straight murdered this track!!!
Word!!!
Killed it like a sacrifice
Understatement
Scooby snack fact
Keith Murray may very well have THE DOPEST debut verse in HipHop history
him... and Nas on Main Source's "Live at the BBQ"
Kid hood scenario
...As does Cappadonna on 'Winter Warz'; Redman on 'Hardcore'; K-Solo on 'Spellbound'; Snoop Dogg on 'Deep Cover'; AZ on 'Life's a Bitch'; Nas on 'Live At The BBQ' just to name a few... All viable and notable contenders to this title...

Danero Dibiase
That's interesting because in my opinion Joe Sinister,who debuted on this very same album,stole the show on this album.
Yo Keith snapped…….🔥
Murray’s bar on this track will always be one of my favorite verses until the end of time. It still gives me chills.
I'm high strung at the top of my lung
with my tongue makin hardcore niggaz want to get dumb
My dialogue comes straight from the slums
Damage to your medula, cerebrum and cerebellum..
* ya got a crew ya better tell em*
@@ddave7026one of the best endings to any verse!
@@la5081 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
FACT.
Keith Murray's best feature.
GOLDEN ERA!!! July 2024 listening!!

Basically, they were speaking about the artists and music that was not popular or main stream or part of the "Industry".
Snoop, Keith Murray and NAS debuts were legendary!! 👊🏽🤜🏾🤛🏾💯
You can't forget DMX in that "4321" video.
@@MADNEWYORKER914 absolutely 💯
@@MADNEWYORKER914 Is that a debut verse?
Snoop, Capadonna.... Redman.....
@@MrStaano
Yeah.
This whole album is amazing... Summer of 93 classic.
Every now and then…I get a lil crazy
No doubt. Swing it hardcore like an orangutan
Eric was one of the best producers easy
Nobody has ever had a doper intro into hip hop verse than Keith Murray
Nas "Live At The Barbeque" but yeah Muarry did his thing with his verse.
@@PharoahsKingdom true....Nas did kill that
@@wuluminati9622 life’s a bitch, AZ’s verse.
Big Daddy Kane on "Just Rhymin with Biz" was a game changer.
Also Tupac in same song
Whoever conceived and produced this video was legendary.
Erick Sermon
St8 up blunt rap!
SMFH
Damn I miss the 90s!
Me too
So glad I grew up on HipHop like this.
Word!!!
@@jrvapor word up son
Same here
This track is still heat.
Keith Murray is having the BEST WEEK/MONTH EVAR!
Keith Murray, Canibus and AZ brought the sickest lyrical debuts hands down...
And Nas on Live at the BBQ
1 Drum, 2 notes bass line, and two beasts spitting fire.
Dirty, raw, and pure hip hop.
For your protection, go sit in the R&B section, for this session! :)
hahaha
Bars
and now hiphop & rap is all r&b sing songy crap smh
.
E Double doesn't get enough respect. One of my favorites for sure.
Tremendous rapper agreed
"Before I break fool, and pullout my get busy tool!!!".WOW!!!
every MC that EPMD brought to the table had a style that was unheard of... K-Solo, Redman, Das EFX, Keith Murray... and even though he didn't have as successful of a career, Top Quality.
Dam you get props for knowing Top Quality. Magnum Opus
Willie Ds interview with Keith Murray brought me back to these memories
had this single on tape..I'm now 42 years old and remember all the words...damn, 26 years old, still dope!
I'm 51 and still bump this...
Am 49 bumping it now from Florida 👊🏾
erick sermon had some of basslines in his music!!
j Diaz
"The Funk Lord"
Agreed
Thanks Dr. Lonnie Liston Smith for this one! ;)
Underrated hip-hop producer if you ask me.
Still does
The days of Karl Kani boots in burgundy with Carhartt hoodies baby...Yo this track cemented Ericks production.this was the perfect track to segway Murray
Still wearing Carhartt and M65's.
Christopher Mcccorkle Back when they was riding those dope ass Range Rovers.
I can remember watching this video and knowing whoever Keith Murray was that he was special and going to be a star
remember when rappers would debut with a dope ass guest verse
Yeah, they'd bring out somebody from their crew. That was dope to introduce them to the world. Not get a feature from somebody that's already out there
This is Jeff Stewart signing off, and until next time saying....GOTDAMN!!!!!!!!!.....lol
Willie D. Reminded me of this banger
Lyricist,we in the south,when we heard Keith Murray,OMG!!!
Keith Murray kills this track! Great tune!
Keith Murray slaughtered this
The Green-Eyed Bandit E Double & Mr. Keith Murray slaughtered this track
Keith Murray insane spitting skills
My neighbor in long island .. Thanks Willie D...Good to see Keith Murray.
1990's, the Golden Era of HIP-HOP period.
lamar newton Like 1993 and 1994 has to be the most creative hip-hop music of all time . East Coast ,West Coast and Down South and a little Midwest.
still gives me the chills!
Keith Murray and this beat just works, period. Excellent music I can listen to it over and over.
"It's 96° in the shade, before I catch blood on my blade--I take my frustration to the stage" If I had a nickel for every time I've said that bar. This was gritty, filthy, unforgiving hip hop right here. Still loving this in 2022!!
Same 💯
Gritty, filthy, UNFORGIVING Hip-Hop! I love it!
It bangs just as hard today
Absolute banger still to this day
Back when deciding whether to buy the tape or the CD was an issue!
This shit right here still lyrically shit on today's hip hop. Classic real rap. S/O to the cats that rocked Champion hoodies & Carhart back then. While drinking 40's & Rollin Phillie blunts

Pure, raw, classic, wow
The first E-Double solo song I ever heard and introducing Keith Murray. After this I was sold to DEF SQUAD!
Had to hear Keith Murray's verse after breakfast club interview. Always loved that verse
This was my Favorite song for like 2 years. The bass sounded incredible on my 9os booming system.
My dialogue comes straight from the slums. Damage to your medulla, cerebrum & cerebellum. You got a crew? You better tell Em!
- Keith Murray
Shwa3 Ma3 sickness badass verse
Always loved this song. Classic
Real hip hop 💯🥷🏾🤘🏾
Im 45 years old and I remember getting ready for school watching Video Jukebox seeing this video for the first time💯🔥💯

Keith Murray steals the show as usual
Keith Murray "Killt" his verse on hostile !!! fukin classic !!!

People still ain't ready for dis
Word! Even in 2024😂😂
1:16 peace to the underground
Eric Sermon is coming up...wow, on youtube, the best.
If the bass line doesn't grip you the verses will have you on your knees.Erick Sermon was the Funk Lord...
The most beautifullest thing in this world is my notion with murderous poetry in motion... Just a bar from that entire classic verse.
I'll put Keith Murray's verse from Hostile against any verse from any rap song that came after it and it would win at least 90% of the time IMO.
might be 97% homie he killed his intro to the world
not 90%, more like 30%, he was overrated & he hasn't done shit since the 90's.
+jdbankshot my man said just that one verse/he right
cross7387 he wrong. murray was always overrated. he flips burgers now.
+jdbankshot maybe cuz/but that verse is killa and it was his intro to rap
Underrated. Every word that came out his mouth on this track was genius.
Keith Murray is illegally underrated wit his witty wordplay he is top 5 in my Book
it's 96 degrees in the shade before i catch blood on blade
I take my frustrations to the stage & get oppy dopie stupid on the track
One of the illeist lines in rap history
I gotta come here at least once very six months to reminisce about that real hip hop!
Facts here. Same
Damn. terry rozier is insane on the mic
Two decades and counting. This shit is still dope.
ABSOLUTE CLASSIC
This is one of the best albums ever made 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯
I copped the cassette and played Hostle 5 times straight. Had people looking at me like what the???
I used to be on 125th Park ave. Keith came to the weed spot that used to be there in a Porsche. I'm thinking to myself who is this guy he looks familiar. This was in 1993.
This made me Murray fan for life. Bumped this in my 92 white civic to and from pick up basketball
damage to your mudulla and cerebellum, you got a crew you betta tell em, very hostile,wow!!!
One of the best lines in rap ever.
I remember in ‘93 all the homies chill’n at the other other homies’ house just waiting for Keith Murray’s verse when hostile came on. Miss those days.
Soooo glad i grew up during the Golden Era...ERICK SERMONS production on this track is exactly y i bought this single on VINYL...
Between da hit squad and def squad u had a lotta real good lyricists ,the contribution epmd made to hip-hop and it's growth is tremendous!
Keith Murray's most ill verse! "the most beautifullest thing in the world is my notion for murderous poetry in motion!"
Keith Murray just crazy. These guys evolved words as crazy. Y'all genius. All y'all Redman Keith Murray RZA Erick sermon method man
I was a working at Beat non Stop and this track was highly anticipated simply for the fact of this kid named Keith Murray...one verse is all it took....history!
E-DUB + Keith Murray = 🔥
you got to be in your 30's to know about this
Age ain't nuthin but a number. Double negative and entendres. I'm sumthin like a hummer, more power than Russel on the thunder or black mamba at the buzzer. Rustle with me ill leave you 6 feet deep under the cemetery in a slumber is what you'll be from the muthafuckas 29 and under.

I'm in my 40's. I was high schooler of this.
Yes.
Lol yeee im jus hearing this for the first time LOL damn:(
Keith kills it ..... Hardcore beat
Def Squad plus Hit Squad equals THE SQUADRON! Family of dope tracks!
1 of my favorite songs of Eric
That line..”oooh I might lose my cool,break fool and pull out my get busy tools” was off the chain! That’s when I was like this dude is sick!
Murray's verse is stuff of Legend
I’m in Raleigh NC. It’s hot as fuk today. The first thing I said was, “It’s 96 degrees in the shade..”
This is the greatest introduction of a new rapper ever as a feature. The second greatest was REDMAN on da headbanger. Erick Sermon had a crazy ear for talent back in the early 90's. He found Das Efx too. My bad REDMAN's introduction was on Hardcore
Redman was hard-core om epmds album not headbands. Big ups though
Not headbanger on epmds album
But hard-core on epmds album
The most beautifulest thing in this world is my notion for murderous poetry in motion!
Yeah, Prodigy was definitely talking about KM in that interlude😂😂😂
me and keith go waaaaaay back.. STRONG ISLAND BOUND. miss ya, kid
E's breakup with P had this album severely overlooked. A lot of people just couldn't accept the fact that they broke up. No Pressure was/is fiyah!!!!
Yo I remember when this joint came out........but listening to this now keith murrays verse has to be the illist verse ever in hip hop
"Peace to Keith Murray" (-E. Sermon Music one of my favorite songs EVER) been going viral on the internet Dec '22-Jan '23. So now RUclips is feeding me interviews that HAVEN'T gone viral.
