I was getting ready to say if they had joined Dungeon family, they would have none how to market them easily 🤔 I think I know every song off their first album by memory, uptown Saturday night is one of the few albums I would listen to from beginning to the end.
Good Choice for a Stunted Growth.That first album is a classic. Camp Lo was like the NY'ers version of Outkast.They had the their own sound that is unique to them and hard to imitate, because of their flow cadence and choice of beats.
Thier rhyme schemes were way ahead of its time. Most people that I played camp lo in front of back then always said “ what the f are these nggas saying “
Camp Lo were more so overshadowed by groups like The Fugees, The Roots & Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli) in my opinion. If they would've connected with someone like Q-Tip, a Legendary Producer who knows the music industry well, they would've garnered more success & longevity!! 🤔🤔
You’re right. They definitely would have fit in perfectly with the Native Tongues just like they did when they worked with Ishmal a.k.a. Butterfly from Digable Planets.
I also think the lingo made it hard for people to understand but if you’re willing to dig deeper into the culture then you will understand everything their saying.
I just mentioned this ! They fucked up by not dropping more radio friendly/fly rap records. That’s all they needed and a varied production and they’d be talked about as much as Mobb Deep, and OutKast.
@glennjackson3581 that's a lie. Not 1 big line on reasonable doubt. 2. Camp lo lp dropped AFTER reasonable doubt. 3. I know you're gonna bring up the feeling it beat. You hear jay vocals on the beat their rapping on. 4. For every big quote I can name you a jay song or verse better. The jay slander gotta stop
One of my favorite groups still today. Coolie High was my vibe. Luchini, Bright Lights, You, Black Jesus! "dancing with damsels in Zanzibar", "Cleopatra in a casino with gold sugar". I love dem boys since high school. And I was in high school in the 90's
Finally, you actually did them. Dude, I thought you wouldn't ever bring up this Dope Group. Camp-Lo and Da Bushbabbies was so dope back in the days. Thank You for doing The Lo..
Camp Lo is a great duo from the 90s. They had a lot of talent and continue to make great music even when nobody else hears it. I always loved the duo and they have always been overlooked as the greatest duo of all time in hip hop.
Luchini probably the only song I been willingly listening to since I was a child where I can’t recite one full verse… and I personally dnt know anybody else who can 😂 that’s a testament to how much of a vibe that song is.. if you can karaoke this entire song word for word, u goated in my eyes..
@@DblTap317 🤦🏿♂️for as long as I been familiar with the song & listening to it, which has been 20 plus years, I still don’t know it word for word.. which is rare for a song I liked for that long..
Definitely an underrated duo. Their styles worked well each other, sonically it always made sense on their tracks. Apart of me thinks they got blackballed due to the thought that Jay may have been inspired by them. IMO They are a Top 10 Hip-Hop duo right at #6 or #7 🤔🤔
Their whole style was awesome, i use to rock uptown Saturday night from front to back, in fact that was the last tape i bought because i car had a tape deck. I thought they quit rapping after their second album. I love youtube, they are having you reliving all my past. 😊
People don't appreciate what they should, this is one of them groups that send you on a trip lyrically glad they did not dumb it down for anyone. They still making records today don't be fooled by the Major Labels. They probably stood their ground and were black balled for it more then likely.
Camp Lo has been one of my favorite groups since Coolie High and Luchini dropped. I remember seeing those videos on Yo! and on BET Hit List and being like "Yo WTF is this!" I was so excited for what was to come from them. I was about 11/12 years old in 1997. I have followed these dudes at every stage of their career and have always been telling ppl, during high school as well as college and since being an adult (Napster days, Limewire days, Imeem and Myspace days, MP3 days, okayplayer days and into streaming to the present) how they were one of the greatet duos if youre going off of creativity and being innovative and simply being dope. I met them twice and have seen them live 3 times. Its tragic how the industry tries to dictate to us what is dope but then will just say its business as if they dont force ppl to like stupid shit everyday...nah real hip hop fans advocate for what is dope and everybone else takes whatever you give them and are easily controlled by narratives and all of the marketing etc. Things could have been different not just for Camp Lo but for other truly dope artists if ppl in control of the business side knew what the fuck they were tslking about. Salute to Camp Lo!
It was a group out of D.C named Question Mark Asylum. They were the 1st Hip Hop group out of D.C. to be signed to a major label. Can you do a "Stunted Growth Music" on them?
Camp Lo is dope, but they severely underachieved. Uptown Saturday Night wasn't that good of an album, and they dropped the ball by not capitalizing on the buzz that "Gotcha" built. They were supposed to have been the NY version of Outkast 💯
BRUH!!!!!! JAY-Z CAME BEFORE THEM RAPPING LIKE HOW HE DID SINCE 1988 WITH JAZ-O. ONLY THING HE DID WAS GO GET THE PRODUCER THEY HAD AND SO DID OTHER ARTIST. JAY-Z FLOW CAME FROM JAZ-O PARTNERSHIP.
Sonny Cheba is still one of the coldest mcs ever. Jay z took that man whole style on his first album, reasonable doubt. Then he took young Chris flow from young gunz. Hit me up bro I’m a hip hop encyclopedia
A hip hop lying encyclopedia. If he took young Chris flow, why he ain’t blow up off his own style then? Hov already responded to this bullshit on the song “What They Gonna Do”
How he take somebody style and do it better then them? Hov just evolved with the flow, he saw that rappin fast shit wasn’t gonna sell so he switched up the flow
@@benhillSWATS Chris couldn’t blow up because JayZ took his shit. Why you think young Chris the only SP nigga that still be at the brunch and on the scene? Stoppp
@@benhillSWATSy’all really don’t know anything about hip hop frfr y’all just be fans of certain niggas. Just do the research the information is out there.
Shidd... Do them mad izzim boys... KRS ONE homeboys... Think dem dudes was actually teachers or something.... That might have been there only track but that shit was a dope weed track 🔥
Luchini AKA This Is It will forever be a classic beat from the 90s and a overall classic song for its time with the legendary sample and the 70s aesthetic for the video. I was just 4 or 5 when it came out and it's a song that when I hear it, it brings me back to a particular time 😊
You really glossed over Camp Lo's first big banger that was "Coolie High", another Ski Beats production, I believe, that set up " Luchini (this is it)". Its a forgotten classic. PEERIOD!!!!! 👌🏾👍🏽🙏🏾
Jay-Z definitely took their flow and ran with it. Still Camp LO was and still is dope. What stunted their growth was being on a crappy record label such as Profile. They should’ve signed to Def Jam or Loud Records at the time. Stunted growth music needs to make a video on Nine a.k.a. Nine Double M. He was also on the same record label as Camp LO.
They're in my top 5 rap groups of all time. They definitely should've been bigger but still glad they're still active in the game. The first album is a classic of course but they dropped some other bangers since. Love the 80 Blocks From Tiffany's albums they did with Pete Rock.
Garbage. 1st Show how Jay bit their style. 2nd Jay had to fight to gain traction, no major push, Rocafella was a small and new label. 3rd, lots of groups came and went, ones better than Camp Lo.
For Camp Lo to be sooo good people put them under the novelty category... While true Hip Hop heads was listening to their barz, Majority of people looked at them as being obsessed with the 70s... But this happened to alot of 90s rappers though
Growing up in West Florida in the '80s and '90s, I remember the first time i heard Luchini on the radio, probably about '96 or so. I always likened Camp Lo to New York's equivalent of OutKast. Still to this day I wish the two groups could have done a collab...then again, aint enough wax in the world to contain THAT level of pure artistry. Also, Uptown Saturday Night remains a six-mic classic.
I was just listening to the stellar project 80 Blocks From Tiffany's 2 High Times is a classic. I still play Coolie High at least once month. On The Way Uptown is amazing as well.
Camp Lo wasn't particularly a well skilled rap duo. Everybody having revisionist memory. Not saying they were terrible but in the era they were in, you can't tell that they were going pound for pound with most rap duos back then. With that said, their first album was excellent. Ski produced the heck out of that album. Coolie High and Sparkle were two of my favorite joints on Uptown Saturday Night. That album was Ski's version of Group Home's first album
@@saj8finally someone that doesn't have revisionist memory. I remember that too. Camp Lo wasn't being praised here on the East Coast. Them and Group Home are the only rap duos that have classic debut albums based on the superb production they had on them. The production carried that entire Uptown Saturday Night album
Lyrically still one of the dopest of their era. This is it one of the best hip hop songs of the 90s imo.
I could've sworn you've already done a stunted growth on Camp Lo.
Mos definit
I agree. I had their tape.
camp lo deserves their flowers 💐
@BlackMusicGenre he did one on K Camp, ik sounds confusing but he never did one on camp lo til now
Camp Lo is the Outkast of the East Coast without imitating Outkast❤

25+ later... that debut album still bangs and it was ahead of its time!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

True indeed
Certified classic 💯
Luchini is a top 5 hip hop song. That beat is immaculate
I loved it. I played that song a 1000 times.
Luchini, Coolie High, Black Connection, and Life I love are my faves
5 is crazy😂
Top 50 fasho
One of the better contributions and a certified classic
Samples Dynasty adventures in the land of music

They could’ve fit in with the Kanye era, the soul samples were still popping then. Remember when Common dropped the Be album?

YOU'RE absolutely RIGHT!! The couldve done songs with DeAngelo back in the Neo Soul era.
Uptown Saturday Night was a classic

Camp Lo is still dope. The 80 blocks from Tiffany’s, Another Heist and Sonny Cheeba’s Can I get a Light is still good.

Bro Another Heist was a classic joint!! 💯
Literally my FAVORITE duo of ALL TIME. Jay Z definitely bit Sonny Cheeba
