Sadat is literally one of the most solid and thorough cats in the game.
FACTS !!!!
The Nation of Islam
I'm so honored to have him working with my son...☺
Does your son still rap?
Dat has kept up with every stylistic development in hip hop over the last 2 decades and yet has remained lyrically powerful without conforming to others.
That cats' pure old school New York and literally one of the most unique and intelligent voices the movement has ever produced.
One the best MC's period!
He definitely my favorite especially the older he got. He grew with age as an emcee most get wack but he got doper & harder & more clever & slick he's a bad man.
Love him! I miss all the truly talented, inspirational artists from the 80's and 90's! It saddens me that they are no longer recording! We need them!
NOT TRUE !!! Sadat be dropping steady fire !!! Top 5 doa to this day.
Hip hop should have no age limit..real shit..
Thank you X.✊🏽
Sadat X is a inspirational dude. Definitely a special MC.
Never sold out and kept it real. True definition of a real rapper
Me and my Godbrother were recently compiling a list of the 10 best MC's in Hip-Hop. When we compared our lists', my Godbrother said: Sadat X? Are you sure? I knew he was never really a big Brand Nubian fan. So I took a few minutes to school him. I started with Sadat X has one of the most illest voices and the best delivery in Hip-Hop. After the lesson he still questioned a few others on my list but not X anymore. Thanks D-Nice this is long overdue.
A truly memorable Emcee from a memorable Band, "Move on black man move on , U gotta move on black man move on".
dudes a legend...westchester ny...new rochelle yonkers...shot out white plains too...allot of legends biggup westchester...
Brand Nubians are living legends still spitting knowledge to the civilized and the uncivilized. As a group or solo they are solid. much respect to the Gods!
Sadat X always kept it positive...even while behind the scenes he was doing things BN spoke against( smoking woolys-Slow Down)
He didn't say he was smoking them he said
Wooly willy got a pair of my sneakers , I wonder where he got em cause I hid em behind my speakers
Well said....Positive Education Always Creates Eruptions
Honored by the Gods presences!
Knowledge is always respected!
No doubt God
Most underrated MC in History!!! My dude...
"If you wanna blame anyone, blame your mom and dad for having you too soon" LMFAO
that diamond d produced track is murder...how he freaked that rocky loop was pure genius
Man...I have nothing but love and respe for this brother. Thank to J Live and his Tumblr feed for putting me up on this.
SADAT IS A DIAMOND 💎!!! A TRUE LEGEND IN RAP.!! 5% THANK YOU!!
black prodigy since the age of twenty 🎤🎧🎵
We still want his music too. Dont ever stop doing what you do.
man ups to Sadat for keeping in real..Brand Nubian is one of the first hip hop groups that i started to listen too!
This is to fly... Enjoy ya PHYSICAL main man! Yo, D-Nice keep bringing these true HIP-HOP stories to light!!! Yo, Sadat! I meet you thru De La on that East Coast college tour '91.
Just met the man in person tonight. True G and amazing performer.
Individuality creates longevity which creates a Legacy of RESPECT AMONG US THAT ARE TRUE FANS OF TRUE HIP HOP. Every M.C. from the 70's til this moment that picks up a mic and the main goal to keep the listener focused on not only a story being told but a verbal encyclopedic journey that takes you to a place that makes you hit that rewind button over and over, timeless.
TRUE M.C.'S DON'T DROP BARS THEY DROP KNOWLEDGE.
MUCH RESPECT TO.....
M.C. SADAT X
Sadat X could be college professor, dudes smart as hell. That interview was tight! Dope location, simple angles, and a chill brooding pix of Sadat. I hope he keeps putting more new music out, his voice is sick. Good work D!
Always was like a big brother....Peace X

I remember when this first came out years ago and then it disappeared. Glad to see this joint again!
Word Sadat is very humble, seen duke get on the A train about 2 months ago in A.M. Nobody recognized him but me, I said peace to the God after he finished eating his quick breakfast and he went in his jacket and blessed me with a copy of Generation X..I thanked him and kept it moving..just wanted to acknowledge the Great X.. BTW D keep doing your thing, you should definitely interview EST the Greatest Man Alive!
One of the greatest ever.. Great interview.
Salute to real rap heroes and just solid men period.
Brother sadat I was still listening to your verses, i really like the way u rapping, your fan for life buddy
BIG UPS to Sadat X - I remember him back when he rolled with Brand Nubian. Much respect. I need to catch up on more of his solo work- dude can spit his ass off!!!!!! Also BIG PROPS to D- NICE for his KILLER series. Just wish they were longer and I hope he puts out a compilation DVD.
1 of best interviews i ever seen
I'm late to the game and just found this channel and it's the truth! "Blame your mother and father for having you 15yrs too soon" He speaks the truth...a real dude
Great interview, one of my all time fav groups. Nice to see the history of ppl i grew up listnng to. you are picking great ppl to interview D.
Nice interview....Sadat X been my dude since back in the day. I remember seeing Brand Nubian in concert back in 93....one of the illest and most original emcees.
The quality of these videos are amazing yo. It's like the dudes are here in my living room.
Punks Jump up to get beat down & Don't Let It Go To Ya Head are My Fave Brand Nubian GEMS.Of all time
Peace and Blessings to Brand Nubian !

This brotha is so underrated and definitely has one of the best unorthodox deliveries.

46yrs old and STILL love hip hop
love sadat x.................big up!
Great Interview!
Mick Jagger is damn near a hundred years old and no one can tell him to stop making rock and roll music so continue to do your thing brother Sadat X.
Sadat X is like the president,I'm in D.C. down at the monument....Peace to the God for always staying humble & providing us with that mental food.
glad to find this video series, sadat is the shyt i fuckin love brand nu!
I love this shit. D-Nice is killing em with this!
Talented guy... with a great heart...
SADAT X. ALWAYS A CHAMPION IN ALL WAYS KNOWING THAT ALL WEIGHS...
Sadat X's last solo album (Generation X from last year) was the best hip hop release of 2008.
this dude is certified
wow this dude sounds really down to earth...unlike a lot of other rappers
Classic respect from Buffalo Ny
Much respect.
I like this guy. I like his rap style. Hate that he got locked up. :(
True talk Sadat is the man Classic...
Totally agree with what he said about fools trying to put age limits on rappers. So called hip hop fans are the worst! Lyrics don't have an expiration date! As long as u can spit and make relevant music, than I could care less about your age.. Rap is the only genre that really pushes that line too. I'll listen to Busta, Dre, Too Short, ect, as long as it sounds good to me..
Respect Brother Sadat X all Day! Respect
Great interview w/ a true legend! Was hoping he'd touch on the kinda vicious tone the album cut of "Punks" has compared to the remix...always took me back that it kind of made the leap from "normal" homophobic lyrics to something a little more brutal and hoped he'd talk about it. But whatever. Sorry to hear about his run-in! Hope Sadat puts out more great shit in the future!
The best brother...
long live sadat... NEW RO in the house!!
yo D-Nice...all of these are the shit brotha...mad i didnt find them sooner
Love Sadat X!
He should do a spoken word album. His lyrics resonate when he speaks them. Sometimes I feel his his normal twang he raps with gets in the way.
Dope MC, Original and Highly Underated!
i like this dude, he is truthful
