- In this episode of True Hip-Hop Stories, Special Ed discusses the making of his hit recording I Got It Made. He also gives his thoughts on the Rick Ross & John Legend collaboration Magnificent, which was inspired by Ed's song I'm The Magnificent.
"I'm outspoken, my language is broken into a slang/It's just the dialect that i select when i hang". This dude was off the chain back in the days.
The3DSMaxinator HOT FIRE FLAME!!
Seriously 💯💯
"I wouldn't say 'fans' but 'my people that listen to me'." - Respect
GTwo as soon as I read that, He SAID that. Real shit man. foreal
GTwo same
GTwo The brotha can say fans, im one of them but dig it yall. we gotta respect his humble
I caught that also
I love the point he made about artist today not respecting the culture of Hip Hop. It's true, they don't.
I was 14 when "I got it made" came out , the late 80s early 90s were so special for hip hop...still rock his music
Naaa that was hypocritical. I got it made he rapped about having a dog with a solid gold bone. He wasn't saying nothing then. He's a part of the blueprint of how cash money rapped about things they didn't have.
@@MrIgnid this comment makes no sense 2 years later
Special Ed was only 16 when he drop his first album & was very nice & had those smooth lyrics& Much better than these new rappers today.
He is so right in this interview I agree with everything he said about industry.
I agree with you 100%
+Jaroc-Ski Yeah me too!
+Tony Wise Thanks Tone & I wish this new era learn from the old school era of Rap & knew the art of storytelling. I be listening to all this new era of rap with they Elementary wordplay flow Smh & ain't working for me. 1980's & 1990's was really the GOLDEN era of Hip-Hop. Today it's the copper water down era smh no message in the lyrics, no more lyricist that can elevate your I.Q. Radio stations People cosigning bullshit from this era smh. A&Rs are not looking for a real lyricist like back in the day's to bring real hip-Hop back. We let other companies come in our cypher of music & control & dictate this looney tunes bullshit that's going on smh.
You have taken all the words out of my mouth my brother. Ain't nothing like the good old days. SMH
Special Ed! Real hip hop...nothing compares to it. Miss that hip hop era badly!
Deep Soul House Music Is Whats Happenin' Now, Exciting and fun, like what hip hop used to be.
"I got it made" is one of my all time favorites! I rap it like it was mine!
True hip hop pioneer.
This is why I always loved this dude he is so positive and articulate in his delivery which is missing in hip hop today ✊🏽
My man is deep. he's a real one that actually puts thought into his craft. I got mad respect for him.
respect from dominican republic, a true role model and inspiration
True pioneer, straight in to the camera dropping lyrics like a poet. I miss real Hip Hop.
Conrad Randall me too!
Hands down one of my Fav artist -
I still got his CD, and still play it,its in good condition
Gary Stubbs that's funny I still got his tape
A J Hilarious I still got his 8-track.
I seriously doubt having an 8track, those shits were obsolete by the 80's.....however I had his tape/cassette someone stole my stuff and ended up buying this cassette at a thrift store, but I had to play it for the dudes that worked there and let them know about "I got it made" and karaoke to it before they let me have the tape....real hip hop
He kept it REAL. Glad someone spoke his heart!! I love the honesty!!!
glad he's dropping new tracks..I wish him all the success possible
No new music needed, re-package, re-market I got it made! Music is timeless and VERY powerful. What you've done is genius. Thank you!
I still love listening to Special Ed I grew up loving his music and still listen to it today.
i like wht he said "im no gimmic" true hiphop pioneer! i like that jawn"i never go back"..........
I'm getting restless, WHAT GUEST LIST?
thank you..Real Hip Hop! A genre..that was...thank you!
The man said it just as it is. Good thing we can go back and grab the old classics
Come back Special Ed Come back we need you
Its over Ed. Im old head my self. We disconnected. These kids taken molly they dont care about lyrics. They to intoxicated to cypher.
Y'all was doing crack and giving AIDS during these times. Same thing but different times
There's no "hip-hop" soul anymore.
@@kollector2125 sorry but there was real unity in hip hop back. Rappers really cared about their community and the message that was being taken in. Hip hop now is a bunch of drug addicts on wax.
Y’all didn’t care about doing cocaine and turning young children into corners while the OGz were pushing whips. But yeah our kids are disconnected
this is a stupid message, not true at all when you listen to people like j-cole, kendrick... also his i got i made record had some wacky stupid braggy bars aswell (im not saying there werent any good lines, there were)
Look back in the times and see that MOST of the hit songs were also just simple hooks and catchy tunes and not rly good lyrics or skills, when you look at the commerce youll alway s just see bullshit but you gotta dig deeper (expections are again cole or kendrick cause they made a business with concious music)
It's a blessing to see people evolve and also to see their product still live on and inspire people.
It's happening again!!! The REAL artists are slowly being phased out of our Hip Hop History! Special Ed, we WILL hold it down just because of the love of OUR culture! I still have your first 2 cassettes and they STAY in HEAVY ROTATION! No gimmicks, no sell-out, no joke! Legendary lyricist!
priceless interview
I looooooove Special Ed. My all time favorite rapper🎩😍
Greatest Rapper of all time!!!!
This was a great time when The Culture was live !!!
one of the greatest glad he is doing good!
I remember listening to "I Got it made" for the first time. I will never forget it
No they don't respect Hip Hop and you cant even understand what the heck they're saying in this new school rap. I still appreciate your music and when I was a teenager your music was hitting and it still is. My fiance still has your records. When people sample your stuff you know your music is STILL relevant! Cause your the MAGNIFICENT!!!! and thank for following me on Instagram.
I always though he was the cutest guy back in the dayz ......and had an awesome unique skill of rapping ....they don't make them like him no more
I know, I thought the same thing!
Its the Jamaican in him
He age real good he like 50
Respect isn't given its earned and Special Ed got my respect
I’m hooked on his song “The Mission”. Awesome story telling.
You are the Bomb Special Ed, Fly MC. I did "I got it made" at Karaoke awhile back and people jumped up and started dancing, I noticed chicks staring at me and smiling ;) I must say I did a really good job at a long difficult rap. You rock man!
One of My Favorite Rappers Love Ed
Tilden high school ! In Brooklyn,New York in the 80 s.
schoolshow94 indeed!
Is this the school he went to
@@salaamakbar3630 erasumus hall in brooklyn.
Special Ed SOOO REAL! Everything he's saying here is still TRUE today in 2017. One of the most under rated rappers.
Special Ed = 1 of the pioneers of Hip Hop. He's a true Emcee. How did I know that he would hit the nail on the head about these devil worshiping gimmick commercial rappers... They send fucked messages to listeners, especially subliminally! Terrible!
Do the damn thing Special Ed. It's about that time. Pay homage to the Old School, *ALWAYS*!!!!
I remember when I first heard I got it made, I fell in love with his style, never forget his songs, wish today's hip hop had the same style, beats, and voice as Ed's. Much Respect!
I am 45 now and still makes me feel like anything is possible!
Special Ed! I love the manner in which you articulate. Big up, brethren!
God bless he still has his hair, love that little bit he did in the movie Juice.
I have always admired the intelligence of you all at such a young age back then. I’m so glad to have had you all to look up to when listening to music back then. 🙏🏽☀️
He was one on my biggest rap crushes back in the day
He definitely got it made
i got it made is my favorite shout out to special ed bk
God Bless U ED I grew up with your Music I am Glad U are alive and Well. Im 47 and I just listened to Paid in Full! I still listen to U and all the great Hip Hop Artists... It just brings back memories! Thanks man for being U!
Ed-if you read this--Wow-this interview of you was the first time I saw you since I got 2 of your albums in 1990..I am 52/white/male and listened to your songs--every day/all day/7 days a week/you were and still are the best....I am totally a fan of popular hip-hop songs and of your music..Now that I can watch the videos and listen to the music....totally best music..I don't know how your were so talented with your music..so artistisic...youngest in charge songs and videos...true art and talent
I love you Special ED
Love you man, I'm 50 years old and I still rock your music in my car, Boat and PC, all rockin through my subs.
I like how he said "quote un quote rappers!" Lol, love this brotha!!
This channel is awesome my dad is a fan of these rapper ***respect*** he always wanted to know what happen to so n so thx for the post
I'm out here carrying the torch for that Special Ed joint myself. After I hit em with the "I got it made" then throw on that video "think about it " ooh we! jumping into the hovercraft man, in the 80s? That was beyond dope! I'm 55 and to this day that is still my favorite music video!
We love you
Totally agree with Ed. I pray the integrity and powerful spirit of hip hop will resurface, because it still exists. Obviously, many heads still want to hear real hip hop.
CLASSIC...
good to see Special Ed. This is Hip-Hop. My son listens to your (my) albums. I stress to him the conscience behind hip-hop. The best music was our time because hip-hop artists didn't have money the only had their reputations. And that was very valuable to the artists.
Back in 1989, that shit blew my mind... much love to Special Ed
"i get into it lyk a car and drive
and if its a smash
i will still survive"
A+!!!!!!!!!!
People tend to sleep on Special Ed. I put him on my top 15 list of all time. Real Talk!.. He was one of the youngest rappers to gain respect in the rap game.
The Hoedown and I Got It Made were 2 of my favourite hip hop tracks of all time!

Special Ed forever!!! I had the priviledge of meeting him and YZ back in 2007 for the Deja Vu it's '92 tour..... Ed is so shy it is funny. He speaks when spoken to, but is a reserved brother for the most part. Thanks for doing this Nice!! Love it.
I'm so glad Special Ed said it.....Respect Hip Hop 🔥💥💯💥🔥 Salute to all of our Classic Hip Hop artists. D-Nice great work. 📢💥BDP FOREVER 💥 HIP HOP FOREVER💥 I'm just finding these yet it's right on time.
I love to see my brothers in a respected life and traveling down there road in a postive path and making sure they bring there kids along beside them not behind them!
2009 and what he said always stuck with me. It's 100 percent relevant today.
Yes indeed, love Special Ed

I wonder what happened to him because not only was he cute, but he said something meaningful. Glad to see he still doing positive rap.
One of my favorites!!! I've just saw him in concert a year ago and I had a ball.
Real hip hop, never goes out of style but right now this joint....could blow up again. go on tour we would love to see you.
Wow...Special Ed is a LEGEND! I really love listening to him and watching his videos! Especially video's from the album "Revelations" like "Neva Go Back" and "Lyrics". He's definitely an underrated Emcee you should look up. He's wise, down to earth and a guy that gives you a jewel if you need it like he doing now..Special Ed keep making music man you is inspirational to me.. - Definite D

ONE OF MY FAVORITE.......CLASSIC....UNSPOKEN BLESSING
& IMA DOWN SOUTH LATINO HOUSTON,TX
I was in East Flatbush, Brooklyn when this record came out! Actually, just before he came out, my cousin who knew Action Love, Ed's DJ, was telling me about Ed and how he was going to blow up, so when he did, it was crazy! Definitely represented Flatbush/East Flatbush to the fullest. That was in the hay day of the Brooklyn rappers. Big Daddy Kane, MC Lyte, Lil Shawn, Ed, and numerous others.
I'm going to say this right here, right now- greatest rapper ever. This dude shaped who I am today, just with the lyrics 'I got it made..'
Very good.
for ed to had be 14 15 yrs old and to write I got it made, for sure he was a musical genious....he took his fantasy of being rich and glamorous and made a hit record !!!
Special ED was and still is one of my all time favorite rapaers because alll his songs are catchy..he mad hip hop fun to listen to..
Special Ed and D-Nice are the business! Thanks for keeping the original voices of hip-hop out there.
God bless this man. Peace to the heads!
Special Ed was one of the first late 80's hip hop records I bought as a dj. "Youngest In Charge" is one of the dopest danceable albums with fresh lyrics and phat beats. Special Ed you are still a king! Brooklyn!!
I just came across this show, Good work D-Nice, Great interview Special Ed! I'll keep watching! Peace to y'all, us "New" Old heads need a show like this!
I love it. True. Raw. Real. Personal. That's what we need in our faces and sent to our ears. Special Ed is an inspiration, and D-Nice gets props for showcasing this jewel.
This song was my high school anthem. Love this song.
I’m always a fan
Since my teenage years
I remember I loved the dancing in the video and his smooth voice in "I got it made"
I more so grew up listening to JayZ, MosDef, DMX etc but I was put on to Special Ed later in life .... dude is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like how he broke down the current state of Hip Hop! Spot on Ed! Spot on!
good job d nice,glad to see special ed is still around doing his thing today.
Great Birthday Bash...ED.....!!!!!...Happy Birthday.....and keep Inspiring artists....
