Such an underrated Producer. A living Hip Hop legend.
The first half o' the 90s were just beautiful.
In college my man Walt used to say, "my cousin Diamond D is going to come down here for a show, I'll introduce you to him." I'm like, "yea right and I'm the Easter Bunny." A few weeks later a Range Rover pulls up and the passenger side door opens up and sitting there is Diamond D! I was buggin, D was mad cool, he had a huge smile on his face and he gave me a pound before they took off. I must have stood there for a few minutes thinking, "did that just happen?"
+Various Topics that's a cool story, man...I loved this dude's album when it came out "Stunts, Blunts, and Hip Hop"...I listened to that tape every day for months, man...that video he did with Anthony Mason was dope "Best Kept Secret"...loved that beat
Jake B Loved his production too, very underrated lyricist. He flipped it with Tribe on "The Business."
+Various Topics no doubt...now that I listen to it, it has his fingers all over it...good looks
Jake B "Take it from Diamond/It's like mountain climbing/When it comes to rhymin/you gotta put your time in." That's in my top 3 punch lines of all time!
THE BEST PRODUCER on the mic... respect!
Diamond D has to be one of the most slept on artists..he's constantly put out quality music
Mindfux best kept secret is the title that fits me....
You're right about that...and his flow is so old school that it doesn't offend you.
Diamond D and the Psychotic Neurotics. RESPECT!
him and buckwild
Its cause he always used beeswax he never used grease on his dreads
"I don't sniff coke and I don't smoke woolies, even Italians say I'm one cool mooley"
lmfao best line ever
+gorillas213 Also always loved "Smoke a lot of herb, but I don't chew tobacco. When Show drops the beat, I say - Holy Mackerel!"
+TheMattmatic Fuck yeah! and "Cuz where I come from ya might get done like a steak on a sesame seed bun"
+gorillas213 "Take it from Diamond / It's like mountain climbing / when it comes to rhyming / you gotta put your time in." Probably in my top 3 all time favorite punch lines. This cat was ill wit it!
+Various Topics Fuck yeah! “I creep like a theif no doubt the man's swift, I'm more magnificent than Lee Vancliff, you stand stiff, got the nerve to make ya man riff, ya know where to run, and start flaking like dandruff"
His style will embrace you like a pair of pliers
Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop Classic!!!
Wow, a true Black 70s kid
One of my favorite all-time beatmakers!
I'm a young dude and i respect the forefathers like Diamond D!
this is the guy( him , dj quik & large pro) that got me into making beats back in my teen years..young producers dont know how good they have it..i used to make loop tapes on double deck tape decks..take one hr of recording a loop over & over to get a 5 min insturmental
Diamond D. is thoro 💯💯 - one of the illest producers in hip hop history, definitely most slept on
Stunt,Blunts and Hip Hop will forever be my favorite Rap album of all-tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
needed a loop so I added a flute ....
Diamond is a legend
good to see legit hiphop getting its story told here
Diamond is definitely one of my influences. The "Stunts" album changed the way I made beats in my head back then. Way before I had equipment. True Pioneer. Keep em coming. Peace...Netm8kr
"Take it from Diamond / It's like mountain climbing / when it comes to rhyming / you gotta put your time in." Probably in my top 3 all time favorite punch lines. Diamond had the ILL punchlines yo!
When it - rains it pours so I'm weatherin' the storm - been away for three joints but still better than the norm. Diamond!
fast forward 20 something years : "when it waynes,it pours"
That remix he did for Brand Nubian 'Love me or Leave me Alone' was epic.
Tadowfunk upinhere.

D.I.T.C. for life! I enjoyed my experience going with you while diggin', true to the game!
This man just dropped so much game

I've always loved Diamond D.
Everytime I dig in the crates and pull out Diamond, I'm stuck for 2 days jamming.
Diamond Much respect, youre amazin. I cant believe how expanded you R in music. Its really unbelievable.
Diamond D's style will embrace you like a pair of pliers. He will also never go out like a wet piece of tissue.
Props to Diamond D. He needs to drop some more of those old school gritty beats he was going while he is still with us. We don't need to let the powers of copywrite and modern trends hold this genius down.
1000thx for showin´ some crates, Your producing and 45 dj sets are so inspiring! Bless
One of my many influences! Shout out. To Diamond D!
Been waiting for this!
Big up to Diamond. A lot of us were only figuratively blown away the first time we heard David Axelrod, but he was LITERALLY blown away.
Early Hank shocklees early with Public Enemy work is incredible.
House of Pain - Word Is Bond (Diamond D Remix)...Beauty!
Word up.

"Uptown Downtown" by Yaggfuu Front is a Diamond D produced gem

Excellent stuff.

Some more of that classic DITC madness. Looking forward to the Lord Finesse episode!
I used to trek to the Wiz and Crazy Eddie record stores on 3rd Avenue when I was a little dude as well. I was comin' from Harlem, over the 145th Street Bridge. At that point though, I was coppin' early Funky 4 Plus One More, Treacherous 3, Spoonie G and Grandmaster Flash and the furious 5 twelve inches. It's possible I may have ran into dude back then.

Real Nice interview

Crazy Eddie the prices are insane, smh I remembered those commercials as a kid,Diamond D pioneer in the game so says Supreme.

When he said he got his Mom's to buy an album u know it was real! S/O to all my hip hop heads who grew up in da struggle!
hell yea. Nick wiz has some good beats.
Yo this crate diggers thing has to come back
I like Diamond D on Planet Asia vocals that's when I discovered his sound
That is the best way to explain some music.... "This is some definite funk shit right here" I get what you are saying.
Rakim sampled an Eltectric Prunes track "holy are you"
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!!!
yes siiiiirrrr!
I remember him playing in the bohannon club Berlin. He was banging the 45's! and the crowd standing around like "who the fuck ist this?". I was 17 and now 5 years later i finally get the chance to have a taste of his collection.
4:33 track any can help??!! soooooo sooo niceeeee
Would love to find that instrumental that starts at 7:41. The sax on that is dope. Fellow jazz heads help me out. Great video btw! Shoutouts to Diamond D, great dude from a great era in hip-hop that appreciated the music that came before them.
already there
The RZA would be very cool and Egon too
Best Kept Secret was the illest beat I had ever heard at the time...
That was a sample from a group called Three Dog Night
LEGACY HAS BEEN CEMENTED!

When I 1st heard "sally got a 1 track mind" I RUSHED to the store and copped 2 MAXISINGLES of them joints ASAP yo! but when I heard "yo thats that.." on the B side? ahhhhhhhhhhhh man! I remember saving up all my bread to cop stunts blunts and hip hop...changed my life...
Only subbed for these crate digger episodes.
Diamond D LEGENDARY S/O DITC Word! MAXIMUM RESPECT!
THE BOMB SQUAD...
“Got Marci diggin in the crate like he Diamond D”
-Stove God Cooks
That Electric Prunes joint is serious business.
They have 2 joints that David Axelrod had his hands on.
If you see them don't even hesitate to grab them.
This was a great episode.
nice Diamond D!
Hey Izaq. I created the series. Unfortunately, we don't have an exact schedule of upcoming people but we generally release the vids every other Wednesday. Thanks for watching.
Man is in the elite of elite
Listening at Diamond D talk you tell he will be old and grey and still getting his fingers dusty. These are the dudes i respect in the game. He is a student. A true student of the artform. I bet he doesnt own any kind of music software program/fruityloops.
@nealatosis - i was playing Run DMC DWTK the other day and a friend, she said "this beat is dope"... yeah. it's q-tip. anyway DIAMOND D. love my man. keep diggin' - one of the best. never heard a bad D beat.
In NY I remember Crazy Eddies...
diamond is the king
D, when you gonna release your recordings with Tupac for his original Me Against The World album?????? We wanna hear your collaborations dude!
