4:20 you are exactly correct, it was a response to being forced to put parental advisory stickers on their work, which hip hop artists interpreted as censorship meaning lower record sales so they resented it
You should react to T.R.O.Y (They Reminisce Over You) By Pete Rock & CL Smooth. It is dedicated to the memory of Trouble T-Roy, who was a member of Heavy -D & The Boyz, who on July 15, 1990, was killed by an accidental fall.
Heavy D was a member of the Zulu Nation if I'm correct, started by Afrika Bambaata. Since y'all like this style of rap I suggest to dig into the Native Tongue Posse (also from The Zulu Nation) -> Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Chi Ali & later affiliate Mos Def. This genre is labeled as conscious hip hop & runs throughout the 80's, 90's & the 2000's. Back then it was mainstream & gangsta rap/hardcore rap was underground ( NWA, Too Short, Ice T, Public Enemy all went platinum without radio play). When Death Row Records emerged the tables turned & conscious hip hop became underground. Other artists y'all might like are: - Digable Planets - Arrested Development - Nice & Smooth - Biz Markie - Slick Rick - Digital Underground - Warren G - Lost Boyz - Fugees - Brand Nubian/Grand Puba - Ultramagnetic MC's/Kool Keith - Common - Souls Of Mischief - Del The Funkee Homosapien - Naughty By Nature - Das Efx - Eric B & Rakim - Big Daddy Kane - Just Ice - Black Star - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Redman - Busta Rhymes - Beatnuts - Jurassic 5 - Goodie Mob - Outkast
Heavy D wasn't part of the Zulu Nation,.. He was from Jamaica Queens and he and the boys were the first act signed to Uptown Records.. Native Tongue was linked together by Afrika Baby Bam a member of the Jungle Brothers. He was named after Afrika Bambaata. He produced hits for Monie Love, Tribe, Queen Latifah, and the Native Tongue family
This would be news to me. I do not recall him being a part of Zulu nation. I listened to a lot of Heavy d wasnt much a zulu nation fan so i could be wrong
Released 1991. Song done in response to yes, the campaigns that were spearheaded by Tipper Gore and others about the profane language in Hip Hop being dangerous, it was a shot right back at them. All of them in the song were heavy weights at the time and this was at Heavy D and the Boyz (his dancers, G-Whiz, Trouble T.Roy (who died in a fatal accident at an arena while horse playing and the song by Pete Rock and CL Smooth, also in this video, made They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y) in memory of him) and DJ Eddie F.) peak. If you look at the end of the video, a young Sean Combs before he was big and had his own label is holding the "Don't Curse sign... Heavy D had some great party songs and was killing it through much of the 90s, and later went into acting...
This came out in 1991. Make sure you guys do reactions to all the other MCs featured here (Big Daddy Kane, Grand Puba, Kool G. Rap, Q-Tip, Pete Rock & CL Smooth).
Jungle Brothers - I'll House You Jungle Brothers - Behind The Bush Leaders of the New School - Case Of The P.T.A. Leaders of the New School - Sobb Story
"The Boyz was Heavy D's back-up dancers. The members were G-Whiz, Eddie F, and Trouble T Roy. The Producer/Rapper, Pete Rock from the duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth was Heavy D's cousin.
I have just started watching you guys a week ago but if you havent checked out heavy d's aint nothing but love for ya you would have to check that out. At this point of thinking i believe that was his most popular song.
“NWA was 1888 😂 Benjamin Franklin was present.” Made me really laugh. I also enjoyed your take on this coming from a heavy metal influenced background. I’ve been exploring a lot more metal music and I’ve been hearing so many connections to hip hop. Music is so amazing it brings us all together, and remember Don’t Curse! 👍🏽
An awesome video with many artists you should check out. Pete Rock and CL Smooth. Classic east coast. Grand Puba(Brand Nubian). This song came out in early 90’s I believe.
no, it was a reaction to being forced to put parental advisory stickers on their records and CD's (hear Q-Tip "You can put the sticker where the sun don't shine"), which forced them to make radio friendly versions of their tracks. The sticker laws were a response to all the gangster rap.
Heavy D's group member got shot before this album. So he was trying to put out super positive stuff during this time. The more upbeat stuff to balance out the gangster disappears airplay wise by 94 minus pop rap. The Death Row gangster era rules until Biggie dies in 96 and then we get the P. Diddy shiny clothes upbeat era leading to the bling era. The full blown response to censorship was 2 Live Crew "Banned in the USA" sampling "Born in the USA." and directly answering all the politicians that were calling them out. They won their censorship case and put out the song as a middle finger to politicians bashing them.
hip-hop/rap started around the 1970s - Breakbeat - New Jack Swing - Boom bap - gangsta rap took over in 1993 with west coast Dr Dre, Snoop etc. 2000 southern took over, 2007 autotune, Now is mumble rap. Rough Journey or rap East - West - South.
1. This song is Heavy D ft. Kool G Rap, Grand Puba (of Brand Nubian), C.L. Smooth (of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth), Big Daddy Kane, Pete Rock (the producer of the song, Heavy D's cousin and part of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth), Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest) 2. This came out in 1991. 3. If you look closely in the video, you will see a young P-Diddy (Puff Daddy, owner of Bad Boy Records) holding the "Don'T Curse" sign from time to time 4. Big Daddy Kane is huuuuge in the hip-hop game and is debated amongst many as being one of the kings of hip-hop
I started out balding my fist listening cause yall didnt know bout this, fucking up the regerences but i realize we got to meet the current gen where they are regarding classic hiphop. I give yall mad credit trying
Cursing on rap records started with NWA (don't let anyone tell you different). It definitely started in 1989, that was the year if first became a topic for discussion. At that time it was inconceivable to think that you could curse on a record (any record) and get away with it. It certainly wouldn't get any air play if you did so what would be the point? In other words, profanity was a nothing until NWA made it into a something, that and the relentless use of the use of the N word that has now become a rap standard. Trying to find rap records with any amount of cursing or N bombs before 1989 is like trying to find the preverbal needle in a haystack. Ice Cub in a video interview sights Easy E as responsible for giving birth to gangster rap. He says that it was a condition of Easy E's that if he was going to allow himself be talked into becoming a rapper (by Dr Dre), he didn't want to come off weak, so would push Ice Cub and the other writers in the group (D.O.C and Ren) to write harder and harder lyrics. Basically NWA (and the 2 Live Crew) pushed the boundaries just at the right time (as you rightly refer to the P.M.R.C : Parents Music Resource Centre) and got away with it So once more... Cursing was a nothing until NWA made it into a something, opening the flood gates for real street criminals with dangerous and uncompromising things to say, to now use language in a dangerous and uncompromising way. Its no coincidence that on the long list of murdered rappers only one died before 1989 (and he, Scott La Rock, was a innocent bi stander). LIST OF MURDERED HIP HOP MUSICIANS ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_murdered_hip_hop_musicians
Man fun music! Let’s you know fly rhymes and fly music can be made without bitches and goes and killing 100,000 people on every record! We need to bring back the balance! .
American hip hop and jamacian dancehall have similar roots. Both are spoken word (rapping is what we call it in america. toasting or dee jaying is what it's called in jamaica) with that being said could you please React to buju banton mr. Nine! You can pull up the lyrics on genius!
Wow a heavy D reaction. Nice React to Rakim I ain't no joke. I mean since you are open to older school rap. And frankly Rakim is on my mount arushmore of rappers. He literally changed the rap game lyrically. Eminem says he is his greatest influence.

Your spot on.
Should check out that documentary on Netflix about the history of rap. It gives a nice timeline
If I remember right. This was a response to the government wanting to put the explicit lyrics sticker on CDs.
Heavy D also has a song with 2pac and Biggie Smalls called, "Let's Get it On." It features The Grand Puba as well.
For the Halloween episode you guys should have done LL cool J's 4.3.2.1......you both would enjoy it !

Q Tip is from A Tribe Called Quest
Y’all should’ve reacted to “is it good to you?” by Heavy D
This is classic hip hop and some of the best MC’s to ever do it are on this song.
Thats because there were varieties of groups some were hardcore some were more consious rappers & didnt really curse too much in songs
One if my favourite tracks of all time, well done for noticing Bid daddy kane, best of all time.
