Old heads: how did people react when epmd broke up

[OGBobbyJohnson]

What about when Pete Rock & Cl Smooth broke up

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Nobody outside of the Tristate gave two shyts.

That's false

 

[Nemesis]

all the talk was about Erick setting up Parish in the robbery..... everyone was shocked

 

[28 Gramz]

That's false

EPMD is only relevant to eastcoast nikkas. Hot Boyz were better and had bigger impact

literally ANYTHING

 

[Jerz-2]

Its sucked becuz their crew the Hit Squad was running shyt at the time

Yep.

It actually sucked MORE than that considering the REASON why they broke up (Parrish saying Eric had him robbed).

I know what happened but how did the fans feel about the break up back then..They broke up after their best album

thats the crazy thing about it .... you would think it would be that way

 

[TEH]

No lie it stung but music was so fire at the time that that took away the pain. Plus they were still producing.

 

[Kaydigi]

It was the worst

 

[daboywonder2002]

took it hard bro. Epmd was at the top of their game with crossover and then headbanger. The whole hit squad Das efx and Redman was just getting started. I will say this though. that breakup i took personally. I dont think i gave Eric sermon first solo album a chance. I hated that song stay real but loved hitting switches. Same with the geto boys. and a lot of people will say that album with Big Mike is one of their best. But honestly, i never gave it a chance like i should have.

Hot Boyz still having mixtapes and songs named after them..nikkas using their production style in 2016. EPMD influence nowhere to be found
