Pioneered those funk laced beats in Hip Hop even before Dre.
Listening back to nothing but Erick Sermon produced beats today

Word bruh!
Yeah he might have moved into my top 3 of favorite hip hop producers now
A lot of his beats from the 90’s were ahead of their time because they still sound light years of ahead of what’s current now
Erick’s drums and bass lines are GOAT
Easily my favorite basslines of any producer, EVER!
I think in his interview with Toure, he said that he thinks he was ahead of his time, on production. And when I listen to all the joints from the 90's, I hear how much of a genius this dude really was. Back then, I was buying whole albums if Erick did beats on it, lol.

Yeah I agree, no one comes close to his baselines in hip hop
Erick had them baselines that shock ya speakers
He really was, I been going back and listening to old joints I hadn’t heard in years and the way the production on these songs have held up is amazing!
Same here, that’s the thing, Erick was doing either all of the production or at the very least the bulk or about a dozen most of the time on those albums back then

FACTS!
I was just about to say this!
When I got my first turntables, as a kid, I had these little Gemini's and a trash mixer, with $50 speakers. I used to like cutting the beginning of Erick's "Stay Real". The bass on that sh*t used to have my damn speakers crackling and popping like they were about to explode! LOL!! That dude's basslines always rattled my whole setup!

The other thing I love about Erick’s production work is how he always found a way to keep it fresh no matter how much he would sometimes double down on sampling the same songs multiple times and even sampling their own songs, lol
He always found this unique way of staying true to his sound without ever sounding redundant

True!
When he came back with Double or Nothing, it was a mad different sound from what he was just doing a couple years earlier, with No Pressure. He just kept getting nicer on the beats.

Me too; I love the concept of that album; just a radio show playing their music lol
Yeah when I was listening back to Erick’s beats today, I said to myself, “if I would’ve been an emcee in the game in 90’s, I would’ve been trying to get down with Def Squad”

Joint so raw he didn’t even truncate the sample to take out the the squeaky noise

88.9 WFDS Radio.
Def Squad is definitely who I saw as one of the dopest crews around that time. I would've tried to sign with them if I was a rapper on the scene back then.

“We’re From The Darkside Radio”!
Hell yeah, I think they would’ve been the best crew to sign with back then.
