Hauls of Shame - Who is Peter Nash?

[MattyC]

I remember the first rap cut I really played to the tape wore out was Gang Starr's Wordz I Manifest (remix). It was playing on the radio in my pops' car.

That and The Bridge Is Over Live off a BDP tape. I also remember buying sick mix tapes on Astor Place on 8th St after getting haircuts downtown. That's how I first heard Eric B For Prez on one of those tapes.

Takes A Nation and Criminal Minded also were as large as it gets, alongside Follow The Leader, Paid In Full. And EPMD was right there, too.

[CharleyBrown]

Matt,

I knew you wrote Paid in Full, but didn't know you were a hip hop head (and that there were so many others posting here).

I'm more into 90s hip hop though - Smif N Wessun, Mobb Deep, Nas - still got love for the 80s crowd though.

[MattyC]

Mobb Deep is a personal favorite.

I'm also huge into Black Moon, Sean Price, Large Professor, Group Home, Jeru... I'm born in 76 so the 90's was primetime for me.

As to S&W...listening to Sound Buoy Bureill (the re-re-edit) right now!

"Now everybody wanna be Don Gaga..."

+1 (I'm a 1960's guy).

[slidekellyslide]

I'm just hoping an East Coast vs West Coast feud doesn't break out here on Net54.

[Peter W Thomas]

60's guy also (college and HA), but today listening to Nina Simone and Robert Johnson

[baez578]

I can't believe no ones mentioned Kool Moe Dee and the famous feud with an up and coming LL Cool J.

Eric B and Run DMC are still my favorites from my days growing up in JC... Aka Chilltown

BTW, In my neighborhood, we all hated 3rd Base!!

I feel like everyone on Net54 has come out of their hip hop cocoon on this thread lol.

Music made a partial comeback in the early '80s, but it's been a trudge ever since.

[buymycards]

I don't know what the hell you youngsters are talking about! 90's hip hop?

Remember when the Beatles got off of the plane when they came to America?
Now that was exciting.

Mobb Deep is great, I go youtube surfing with their songs all the time. Almost always start with Burn

I'm also big on the Clipse for "newer" stuff, but usually stick to the 80's-early 90's stuff.

The first Wu-Tang album will always be my all-time favorite. I bought that tape three times and played each of them until they broke.

[Joe_G.]

You have surprised me John D. (and others). I thought I'd be the only one on the forum who followed early rap. I was very much into it as the 80s progressed and beyond. I was rather isolated from the music growing up in the Upper Peninsula of MI but became familiar with many of the groups through my complete run of RapMasters cassette tapes

Among my favorites . . . Beastie Boys (seen them in concert several times, sadly no more), EPMD, Eric B & Rakim, Doug E Fresh, MARRS (pump up the volume single), D Nice, and even some of the newer artists including Fat Boy Slim and others. Sadly, Columbia House took a chunk out of my OJ funds during my teenager years.

I apologize for the off topic reply but I couldn't resist.

[97manoftroy]

Wow I have to agree 100 % with Joe G. And I too apologize for going off topic but I Thought for sure I was probably the only one on the board who had a love for 90's hip hop. I'm born and raised in LA (USC grad fight on!) but my hip hop affinity was strictly east coast. Group Home/Tribe/LON'S/Wu/Helta Skelta. I have to say its a great and most pleasent surprise to know that fellow board members are hip hop fans as well as old cardboard junkies! Thanks Leon!

IMHO, 36 Chambers is one of the greatest records (and I'm all over the place musically)....ever (all genres).

An AMAZING record.

Now you've got me reminiscing! I saw the the Boot Camp Click with Black Moon and Smiff n Wessun live back in the days...one of the best I've ever been to and those are the true lyrical artists...not the stuff that comes out these days.

How about one hit (or 2) wonders like Kurious...."and the fellas try to dip in the miracle whip!" Plus there's a connection back to 3rd bass
