From my knowledge Thats actually only half true. According to Lp, Tip did not start actually get into the technical part of producing, till he began making beats for Nas like one love. Im thinking thats right before Electric Relax. Like Puff who he inspired, and many of his comptemporaries he was a record junky. If you watch their Doc, he shows you his knowledge of sampling earlier on was as vast as using a tape deck to make loops into beats. This a part of music history that seems to be completely foreign to todays audience. The production side back then was always 3 fold, artist, artist/dj, and then engineer. Most of the engineers early on were white guys, and Dj/Artists would submit records for samples and give their vision. Great engineers were the key to success before artists/djs started learning the machines themselves. Gods like Paul C could make visions into life.

Why?? 'Cause the white guy was always the one with all the gear and knew the studio techniques to get sounds u didn't know could be on a rap record

My brother. Everyone from
New York knows the Violators were a gang in the Bronx. Chris "Baby Chris" and a couple other of his boys hooked up with Red Alert because of two reasons. One at the time Red Alert was under Zulu Nation, which was and is still under the leadership of once Black Spades War Chief African Bambatta. Chris Lighty and the Violators were mostly if not all from the Bronx River houses. This is the home of the defunct Black Spades, and current Zulu nation. This is basically where hiphop began, before Herc decided to break out his system. Anyway Violators carried records for Red, got into clubs, got into brawls. There were all over the Bronx and Harlem, even some parts in jersey were mimicking them in like late 80s early 90s. Chris lighty got sliced and got his scar in a brawl at the tunnell.
Hate to say this, but you ever heard bout Afrikka Bambatta liking little boys? I've heard that from a few sources and I hope it's not true. Also read Eric B. might of touched Rakim's younger sister? Damn im a :dame:

I dont know, Paul C was doing rock before hiphop, im sure Bob Power was doing something big. Those where the type of people in those positions and job and they had the experience.
