💪🏾Love How Danté calls Puba "Max"💪🏾
Actually, the “All For One” single was released in September, 1991. It had a remix with added kick, snare, and extra hi hats. By that time the following year, Puba had his own solo single.
I can listen to Dante Ross talk about the 90's all day
2013 Harlem New York I run into Puba at the bar at the 40th Zulu Nation Anniversary. He bought a bunch of Coronas and gave me one. Said cheers Z's Up🤘🏼 and we all there gave our respect to our Zulu Nation. I said thank you Ahki and he said no doubt. Getting to see Ice-T do his classics and Puba and Cube that was the best part of that night
The re-done version of "Wake Up" changed lives.🎶☀️
I JUST typed this 😂
For sure did for me
Grand Puba also did a lot of ghostwriting of rhymes for other mcs in that era just listen for his lingo and flow, you can hear it
Puba’s son is nice too
@pyenapple spot on. Pete Rock "The Creator" instantly comes to mind. He wrote something on Latifah's first album also. The name doesn't come to mind
8:46 Wake Up literally changed my life. Might be one, if not THE most important song in my life...
Me too. It’s the reason I got Knowledge of Self, I was a teenager…
I remember thinking the "beep" in the middle of the loop for "One For All" was from whatever machine they were using. I later heard the original record it came from and Puba caught the loop from the end of a keyboard run that was played.
I've watched all of these episodes and this is some of the best content you'll find anywhere about hip-hop. You're a great interviewer and Dante Ross is a legend. Great work! 👍🏽✌🏽
Step ta da Rear 🔥🔥🔥 Puba killed that song
Both versions of "Wake Up" were dope as hell.
Yeah i love how they have totally different vibes but you still sit together like siblings
Thank you so much for these interviews with Dante Ross!! So much in depth and behind the music story telling. Wow..I'm listening to all the golden era stuff again on repeat.
‘Wake up’ was a life changer✊🏾
Lmao 🤣 @ Melle Mel imitation….. Arrahh!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Brand Nubian.
Great interview!!!!! You can see and feel chemistry between the two!!!!!!
Puba left a lot of money on the table.🤔
I like “Drop the Bomb”. Jamar and Sadat kill it then Puba’s verse takes it over the top
Great interview
During all this... SD-50's did a dope remix for D Nice "Crumbs On The Table" also. "Dope On Plastic" was CRAAAZY too!
Interesting about Slow down and using samples of songs that just came out. Tracy Chapman was used by Nice and Smooth and that was a pretty current song too. Nowadays it's more normal I think. Back then not so much.
11:57 Now that line on 'Cold Lampin' Wit Flava" makes sense 😂
YOOO!!.... Big up Mike!! You DID ask Dante about the Brand Nubian catalog being credited to Tommy Boy!! RESPECT!!!
Starts with brand Nubian, and it all ends with Pete rocks Instagram hahahaha
Punks Jump Up was my anthem in junior high.
Loving this. Can't wait to check all episodes out.
I thought I remembered "Wake Up" being aired on YO! MTV Raps. I bought Brand Nubian "One For All" LP and KMD "Peachfuzz"/"Gas Face Refill at the same time from Tower Records in New Orleans fall 1990. I did notice Dante Ross' name on both releases.
They only aired Wake Up after Slow Down was a hit, they played it once I think
Nice & Smooth Sometimes I Rhyme Slow
Great content!!..
Love your content
I'm in this all night Brother 5 episode in the last 24 Hours Puba Latifah Ol Dirty L.O.N.S. Now Brand Nubian Let.s Go
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn dude sounds just like scott storch.
Again, good
I remember folks saying Cypress Hill was biting BN sound and that some lines on Punks Jump up was directed at them
Interviewer looking like a young Puba… 🤣
Slow Down was the hit. I think that's what made Brand Nubian bigger.
LL Cool J did Boomin System which sampled En Vogue. I think that was the first big "current record" sample.
I always wondered why Grand Puba didn't blow up and why Reel to Reel was so lackluster Now I see why. I was one of those who thought Bran Nubian w/o Puba was gonna suck but i was totally wrong.
Reel to Reel was taken back to used CD stores HEAVILY! I thought the album was dope, but seeing that spoke volumes.
After 30 plus years always thought Reel 2 Reel could had been 10x better.
what up what up
STEP TO THE REAR IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BEATS, REST IN PEACE TO DB..
Then why does brand nubian improve after puba leaves
Their sound became harder and grittier after Puba left because Sadat, Jamar and Sincere handled all the production except for Diamond D. Puba's sound was no doubt funky but kinda happier.
Ehhh it didn’t it just changed vibe. I prefer the debut album tbh
Then give the production credits back
This dude did not like his urban promo staff 😂
🤦🏾♂Dante I Just Listened to Both Tracks & u Will be Hard Pressed to Convince someone that u Didn't Sample that song for Step To The Rear🤦🏾♂
