that was the that was the sole reason in the very beginning for most of us made
arrests one coming in today and goal orientated and staying focused you know
to what you want to do I spend a lot of time in my life not paying attention to
what else was going on also into what I was going back then it was false to the
music you had a bass I wasn't rapping at the time daddy oh he was the he was a
rapper what's up yah welcome back to another episode of rap classics I'm the
host of every incident he's talking about another set of three legendary
artists Kara's one big dead came in look caris what is from the Bronx his first
album was called criminal minded which came out in 1988
Paris was stands for knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone he was a
part of the group hug Boogie Down Productions formed by AJ Scotland rock
his his songs were I'm number one my philosophy and the bridges over here's
my philosophy by charismatic this one on that one the white went all the blasts
the pump and I'll jump up to attack one Karis one is just the god elite of crude
right up to your face and that was my philosophy by Carolyn Harris one was
under bleed out productions but was DJ Scott Larocque died he was cares one
summer in the late 80s he brought the whole hip-hop community together with
the stop the violence movement not only was he an artist but he was an advocate
for sending young black lives here's the self-destruction Mike Harris would
well today's topic so construction it really ain't the rap for the instance
fuckin it's one or two suckas ignorant brothers tryin to rob and steal from one
another get caught in the mid social crunch that stereotype here's what we
did we got together so that you could unite and fight for what's right as I
was researching you I couldn't find a reason why you guys broke up so what was
the reason behind we really didn't but when you do it like Wikipedia it's done
by other people so whoever did that Wikipedia page you did it wrong
um we never we never really broke up let me just what happened what else was this
we started off together and then we began to be at least semi to successful
to fully successful doing our own ventures so I became a producer and then
later on an executive at a record company Prince Paul became a producer
which still is and so people began to do other things
um Prince Paul and Luke want ended up being in the gravediggers where RZA
so we began to do other projects but we never really broke up I mean we still do
shows together now it's just that we do just separate things yeah okay my next
question is if there is anything you could do different while still a part of
the group what would you do I probably would have know a little bit more about
record company policy and all of that I think I think being signed to an
independent label in the 80s was a blessing and a curse I think it was a
blessing because the people that signed us saying seemed like somebody that's
not run like Corey Robinson Run DMC Tommy Silverman sign does Fred manao
sign salt and pepper will Sokolove sign EPMD like a bunch of young white Jewish
boys was the only one that took a chance on hip-hop major labels just wasn't
gonna do it so that was a blessing part the curse
was they were independent label so they didn't have to really offer us
their best deal in the world and on top of that it was like they didn't even
know what dealer offered there was no guarantee that we were gonna sell
records be successful do anything but I think I wouldn't know a little bit more
about that because then I think we could going into it a little bit more control
over things that we all right that was Big Daddy Kane Big Daddy Kane from
Brooklyn his first album was London 13 he called some of his marquee songs
which both of them were part of the cleans based truth cruise his hit songs
