A Tragic Scenario : MC Hood in the Source (1992)







Kid Hood’s entire career was 43 seconds long. He was brought on for the opening verse of Tribe’s “Scenario” remix in 1992, and the way he came on the track was nothing like what fans of the Native Tongues were used to: licking buckshots, wilding like Larry Davis, and calling you a bytch ass homo.

Two days after recording the “Scenario” verse, Kid Hood was beaten and shot outside a group home in Harlem where he often lived. Speaking to The Source in 1992, Q-Tip said this about the MC born Troy Anthony Hall: “When I first met him he was rhymin’. He didn’t say hello or nothin’, he just started rhymin’. Every time I saw him he was rhymin’, he was dope. He really seemed like he was sold on coming out and working hard. The day we taped [the “Scenario” remix], he went in the studio, took his shirt off, and went in the booth. He did it in one take.”

Most don’t realize, however, that there’s another Kid Hood song floating around out there – a demo called “Drop The Bomb” that Stretch and Bobbito played. Listen to it below, read El-P’s story about producing the damn thing (is your mind blown yet?), and then read stories from people who allegedly knew Hall on this blog.

Fam! I just checked this thread randomly a few days ago. I was reading up on Len Bias for some reason, and someone in a Bias thread said Mc Hood was the equal to Len Bias. My dap to the OP was not from today.

I lived at the group home Hood stayed at and he was cool. I will never ever forget him. That night I cooked some food for us, meaning all the guys on the floor we resided on. I told my room mate food is ready let the guys know, so he knocked on doors including hood’s. Hood opens and half asleep goes to the table and I tell him what I cooked ,all quiet he opens the pot looks at it and says save me some . That was the last time I saw hood alive. He goes to his room and naps. Me and the fella’s eat and I left food for Hood and went to take a nap. Hood ate the food I left for him. He left to do laundry with some of the residents and got caught up in some beef that one of the residents started. Hood changed my life for ever R.I.P. HOOD.]

Kinda reminds me of GYS Grave Yard Shift was about to debut only for Tombstone(Layzie Bone's Brother in law) to get murdered on August 97 two months before the album debut.
