A lot of people forget, after Rakim and Kane, Special Ed was the next in line that people championed

[Newark88]

I think Ed paved the way moreso for dudes like Fab and Kiss

 

[FreshAIG]

terrible label, so he didn't drop an album for 5 years. He dropped his second album in 1990 and his third one didn't drop until 1995. Game changed waaaaay too drastically. I still liked some tracks off it tho

Dude took like 4 years off after his 2nd album and then came with some whack shyt. As a little kid he was my favorite rapper.

 

[Nobodyknows]

Damn so Wayne wasn't the first to make full albums off the dome

Wayne didn't drop no albums off the dome.

Can he even spit off the top?



.


I'm pretty sure Biggie was one of the first to do such a thing without writing..correct me if I'm wrong.

Yea I liked Freaky Flow remix with Primo on the beat and Neva Go Back. But by that time, as you said, the game passed him by

Special Ed was nice. Witty, charismatic, great internal rhyme schemes. Cuz he was so young it was thought he would only get better with time and had mad potential.


BUT he was not ever in the elite class of Ra, KRS, G Rap and Kane. I remember that time in Hip Hop extremely well. Slick Rick dropped a classic the year before. EPMD was making noise. NWA was blowing up major. So nah...Ed was not next after Ra and Kane. That don't mean he wasn't I'll though.

Word...Used to love this video as a kid

 

[Threnody]

Speaking of 89' I still wanna know how Stezo got DJ Red Alert AND Marley Marl in his video

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Part of it, I'm sure, was being on shytty ass Profile Records. Nobody not named Run-DMC were ever treated right on there. Ed, Smoothe Da Hustler, etc, etc.

God Profile was horrible

 

[spliz]

He was the best in this song imo

Respectfully disagree. He didn't have the best verse on this track to me.

 

[General Mills]

I distinctly remember Special Ed and D Nice for a brief moment were the two young dudes who had the light shining on them the brightest.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

I used to bump I Got It Made religiously

Buckshot did?
