Two of Boston's best rappers right here they should of been way way bigger and famous around the world dope MC's respect to you both.
Real Talk!
Legends!! Gotta respect the guys who paved the way.. as a die hard Made Men fan, I think Benzino made a mistake not putting a Gzus solo album before his own.. everyone who listened to Made Men knew Gzus was the best rapper/Lyricist in the group...
Thanks for watching. And interesting point!! I wonder how that would have changed the dynamics of the group and if they would have gotten bigger or not as big.
Benzino ALWAYS been trash in my book! 🚮💯
Edo and Gzus... Legends!

Boston Hip Hop radio will never be like it was Street Beets and Magnice I will always treasure that time, you had like over 4hrs of Hip hop from Magnice on Saturday nights , with battles, swearing unedited, it was cool ,they even sold tapes over at Skippy Whites down at Mass Ave station (it's now a barbershop I believe). Boston Has a lot of Hip Hop Talent, lol FTI crew , hey what ever happened to "A Train" .I wish I could get some of those tapes back , ( they got stolen in my ride) .
Yea I recently listened to a tape with Magnice, it was dope. And Skippy Whites was the spot hah
Boston rappers suck. No talent
A legend!

All of Boston's old school rappers should get together and do a show or make some new shit that's relevant in what's going on in the Hip-hop World today see if you'll still nice but to me you'll will always be nice legends

Ace Spencer damn bro i was 17 i’m 24 now mad love for yall back then tho
I know they said that we have enough Rappers from Massachusetts. However, Edo did say "Unless they coming with something real fresh and new that's undeniable"
I think that is me, but i'll let you all decide for yourselves.
On that note, I make music! please come and check out what I've got and let me know what you think, good or bad. I've put in over 10,000 hours to master the craft and now i'm ready to get it out there and bring lyrics and word play back into the game. The current status of mainstream Hip Hop is mostly garbage and that has got to change!
i'm also on the soundcloud at /arobi-music

@@AceSpencer oh yeah born and raised. I grew up in south end rusty pendleton ant grant and dev south end wallys lenox district. I remember when dev from tds mob first got his roland tr707 or 727 he invited me to his crib to checout his skillz. He was jamming on it. I was a dj 1984-89 doing house parties from warren gardens to the south end. I remember dev came to my house and wanted to schedule a battle but i was in process of exiting boston and the turntable game. Dev was cool working quiet dude i think he wanted to take me out and putbit on the album credits before he released his album. I left boston and around 1990 i saw him and ant grant on bet i was like ohhhhh shit. Hebwas quiet to me but he made power moves strongrr than all others in boston. Loyyd from wallys used to dj and came to my crib to battle i beat him and it was on cassette but i lost it. I used to do new years partys for the pointdexters on the top floor pver wallys jazz cafe. I didnalot of partys on copeland st. My aunt was always having partys. Martin (rip) used to haven't basement parties in south end.
oh yeah born and raised. I grew up within rusty pendleton ant grant and dev south end wallys lenox district. I remember when dev from tds mob first got his roland tr707 ot 727 he invited me to his crib to checkout his skillz. He was jamming on it. I was a dj 1984-89 doing house parties from copeland st to the south end. I remember dev came to my house and wanted to plan a battle but i was in process of exiting boston and the turntable game. Dev was cool working quiet dude i think he wanted to take me out and put it on the album credits before he released his secret album. I left boston and around 1990 i saw him inthout tony mosby and ant grant on bet i was like ohhhhh shit. He was quiet to me but he made power moves strongerr than all others in new in boston. Loyyd pointdexter from wallys used to dj and came to my crib to battle me on my own system. i beat him and it was on cassette but i lost it. I used to do college school days movie type new years partys for the pointdexters on the top floor over wallys jazz cafe. I did alot of partys on copeland st. My aunt rose was always having partys. Martin (rip) used to have me dj his basement parties in south end. Back then rso crew (ray dawg) was like the (grandmaster jay of the nfac today) one particular rap group that wanted to be the one and only to represent boston. Gangstarr and edog and the bulldogs were classics hits for the 1990s college house partys while i was out of state. Travelling and variating from state to state i got to see why and what type of was popular. Boston sound was straight gutter without the soul or funk sprinkle sprinkle to the hooks . That was our downfall. gangstarr " just to get a rep" was on repeat on east coast . Premier had the whole song soul jazz chop sprinkle sprinkle to it. Ed o g "be a father to your child" east coast had the jazz sprinkle sprinkle to it on the hook. I believe this was why tupac came out with dear mama. I was not just a dj. I used to program eproms for other dj drum machines mc cash from mattapan called me the all star engineer. There was another show at this castle looking movie theater next to the arcade onbwashington streed downtown boston where epmd announced their dj and the crowd started booing them because epmd dj his name was dj scratch. We being bostoneers didnt know of no other dj scratch besides the adidas park dj. So all the intervale crew was disrespecting epmd while their dj was getting it in. They thought epmds dj was biting our boston djs name. There was another memory 1982-83 i used to breakdance downtown with this dance crew before i was a dj. This (first gang in boston) crew used to come around and collect all the breakdancers new sneakers and hats off their persons for free. One day (not knowing) i had on fresh new green suede pumas me not knowing what was up. They tried to get my sneakers. I was taking on 3 of them thay got one sneaker but couldnt get the other they knew i wasnt soft. So they gave me my left sneaker back. Then they said man we just playing with you. The dance crew didnt do nothing but watched and the short guy wayne ( leader of the kangol crew) said in a low voice to me "now you see who your friends are" low and be hold during my dj era. Wayne the kangol hat collector wanted me to go to his house to show him how to dj. Walking from dudley to humboldt ave going to my grandfathers house. His new bedroom was my old bedroom i was like wow same unicorn on the blue wall. Im a capricorn so they kept the giant artwork on the wall. But the other part of wall was heatly lined up with 60 kangols. Wayne was the kangol hat O.G. All colors and finishes. We chopped it up he had skills better than i expected. I think he wanted to battle me. It was a weird experience because he wanted to show me something. He pulled out a 38 snubb i think he foundin the house that i think my uncles stole from my grandfather back in the late 70s or early 80s. So it was all meant for me to find out who was stealing from my granpa when he was sick. He passed and the hat collectors pents bought it.
@@AceSpencer there was dj scratch (grove hall) to (intervale) from across street from boston tech and killer dj (boston outskirts) from suburbs and deff jeffs nephew dj binoe from (castlegate) def jeff backup dj . Back in the day quiet is kept "you couldnt win with the Rso." There were elder south end djs before me i looked up to in the south end jeff parham he became a heavy drinker but saw me doing them parties and turned over all his records to me, dj eric right columbus ave sparrow park bradock drugstore area. We went to same school he used to bang them cuts at the back of the bus i was in 7th grade he was about 12th grade at umana tech. I used to listen to them funk era to rap era elder djs mixes coming up. Back then kevy kev went to umana tech too. He was a beast on the mic in my opinion if he would have gotten with ant "gzus" grant a boston break thru major on the map could have happened. I remember doing an open up for bdp and i think rakim at chez vous. I was dj at night a bad guy in daytime back then i had beef with wayne pierce and he pulled out his shank and i pulled out mines an kevy kev popped in between us out of nowhere and broke it up. I was like where he come from. Anyways i didnt know kev rapped until that night and he had a dj with the custom red turntables they were at "chez vous" ready for the kill in the hood. That was the best performance that i have ever seen in the 80's and the the dorchy, roxby, matt and south end hood crowd goers was shocked too. They had crowd participation, originality, a hook using queens "we will rock u" and the dj was cutting george clinton atomic fog "dawg" on em and then the rapper had finnesse with word wizardry um well . They lost to the rso. A couple months later me being a dj and recognized him "killer dj" i think heading to watertown we were on the bus i chopped it up with him about that and he he told me after that battle he didnt want to dj anymore and was going to become a mechanic. I felt knew how he felt and hey back then there was rap talent and power. I think boston was either blackballed or lack of unity in the early days. I remember when rusty first came to boston and skeeter and wallace t introduced him to the south end errbody never saw a dj toe jam.there was negative but then it got real quiet. Rusty earned his respect but there was that aint no new yorker gonna get befoe me mantality too. I think he was from new york but he was the first person that i ever mat that had his own record out that was not from the geri curl high heel boot era that always told us ." HIP HOP is just a fad it wont last we need music with substance" thats what the producer of hawkeye told me about tony mosby when mosby stepped to him sitting on some stairs on mass ave in about 1983.
@@AceSpencer i got another one for you- djs used to get their systems taken too- i remember there was a dj from academy homes he was good too i never met him but dj mike davis let me hear his mix tape. Well he did a party at ruggles one time and i was there i didnt have no parties that night. I was checking out the system and just chilling on the wall near the door. Someone was banging on the door and when she opened the door a light skinned dude with a sawed off shotgun blasted one off i think the door was closed just in time. It was a party killer because errbody broke out. It was one way in and one way out. About 2 months later i was in academy homes talking to this girl and a close friend to my cousin said hey dre i heard you you almost got shot. I was like huh with no idea Then he said "lizz thought that you was trying to take their system". I may have gotten killed if she would not have closed that door on that dude. Basocally i could have been shot or killed just for the thought. A couple years later tony johnson is killed by this same guy.
Guru really don’t get respect. He’s the best to do it from Boston. I heard cool gzus got on drugs. Mc spice was real dude
Of course Guru gets MAD respect and is among the kings of Boston rap. But the issue that many people have is how he left Boston for NY and kinda started representing NY more than Boston. At least that is how many people felt.
yeah, charlie mac did manhandle somebody who tried to stick him up at a gas station some blocks down from me in west philly....
LOL
What ever happened to Antonio Enis?
Kev ski and killer dj. Killed it with them custom red technics with the we will rock u " dog " theme. The chezvous crowd was pretty loud That shit was ahead of it's time phenom back then. When they won I mean lost to RSO killer dj felt cheated he told me he retired and decided to become a mechanic. That's how I learned about politics. I still remember a street beat demo kev ski. Did From" give us respect " I was in new york city, early part of the day. On 27th comming cross broadway. I turned around n what did I see? 3 new york city niggas tryna stick up me. One grabbed my arm the other grabbed my neck, the third ny nigga tried to put me in check. He said yo kev ski you look so sweet. We want them fresh adidas right up off your feet. I grabbed the first nigga, punched the other in his eye. Told them get a pair of pro keds and be satisfied.
