Chuck is right. Hip Hop was always in the air. Rollerskating (dancing on skates) was also a big part of Hip Hop. Being from Brooklyn I agree. Uptown Manhattan was a big influence for us too. Harlem imparticular. Bronx was considered Uptown. But it wasn't until years after that the term "Bronx created hip hop" was coined. It's really because of a surviving flyer of a Kool Herc party. But DJ Hollywood was emceeing on cassettes before that. I know in Brooklyn around 1975 dj's were spinnig breakbeats at street parties with dj sets plugged into streetlamps. I was 5 years old then. And reggae had a big big influence. No one ever says it. I know! Peace
Nice interview Steve, you asked some good questions mate & good to hear the answers from the original voice of power... Great to hear the 98 Posse story and James's history on the legendary S1W's... Respects all round. PEace.
I used to be friends with brother James that was a honor I love the s1ws they keap my idol my goat best rapper ever chuck d safe I was 13 when nation of, millions came out I used to try to look n talk like him dressed like him he was 27 I was 13 same complexion now so many people says I grown up to favor him a honor .
@@bushkilla7348 Its rocking but i see it as a response to what was happening with other artists . Fear was them , the whole crew making something that was 100% them and totally groundbreaking . Whole thing flows perfectly and the skits are a work of art in themselves and Chuck's lyrics reflecting all the bullshit going on around the band with the media and internal strife etc , coupled with the production which was next fuckin level .. i dunno man ..FEAR fuckin Kills . You try keeping up with Chuck on Terrordome and watch your jaw ache after first verse man . For real.
@@rippedtorn2310 I hear you but you could almost say the same about Yo Bum Rush the Show being a reaction with Nation being the true coming of age album. Nothing sounded anything like it and like Fear the production was on another level. Still had that rawness though. Catching PE when they were touring that album was mind blowing. Love Fear as well though. Both those albums could be my 1st and 2nd best of all time. BTW welcome to the terror dome is one track off fear I can pretty much recite the whole way through. Unbelievable track!!
@@bushkilla7348Aye brother i get that too ..i mean dont get it twisted i love Yo Bum Rush and Nations ..both outstanding albums man . Was a great time to be alive for sure .
A respectful and informative exchange. I met Chuck a few weeks back by coincidence in NYC. He took the time to chat with me and take a photo.
