Special Ed on Drink Champs this week

[FreshAIG]

Flatbush legend! Used to see him all the time with my cousin (RIP Wali). Salute!

 

[L. Deezy]

This was my fav rapper when I was young. Ahead of his time. My personal fav top 5 all time.

His first two albums are better than Kanes, but nobody wanna discuss that.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

True spitta.

This nikkas lyrics are super sharp.

I think of Educated Rapper and Special Ed as part of my rap lineage.

The Ed in my rap name is short for Educated.

Spoiler: My shyt

Ed came out at the right time in hip hop as far as making creative dope albums, but the wrong time for longevity purposes. Victim of those wack ass 80s Indy labels.

Dude is only a year older than Nas and younger than Jay.

His first two albums are better than Kanes, but nobody wanna discuss that.

Ed was one of my favorite MC's as a kid, and Youngest in Charge was one of the first albums I had back then, along with Legal a year later. And "Think About It" is one of my favorite tracks of all-time, but Ed ain't got the catalogue to mess with Long Live the Kane and It's a Big Daddy Thing.

Kane had some filler on the second album, but his classic tracks on both of those first two joints are mad iconic for the culture. Very few have had classics on the level of what Kane dropped from '88-'89. Shoutout to Ed though. He used to have a studio in Flatbush that we would go to back in the day, and spend mad nights at, working on all kinds of music. He's still one of my GOAT's.

Yeah man I thought of that when I had his album on a few winters ago after finding the old tape and driving around late night listening to it... He is the same age as some of the rappers I grew up with and it seems like he has been out a lot longer.. I think he was 16 when he came out so that makes sense. ED was nice! I liked his first two albums and I thought Revelations was nice as well and mad slept on in 95. I have always been a huge fan of this dude, shame when we talk about the legends his name doesn't come up nearly as much as others from his day.

when the weather was hot
i got a spot in the shade/
i'm wise because i rise to the top of my grade
wanted peace on earth, so to god I prayed/
Some kids across town thought i was afraid
They couldn't harm me
I got the army brigade//

 

[QU Hectic]

One of my B K faves. Doing his thing in North Carolina right now. Never heard him involved in nonsense so it should be a refreshing interview.

 

[Why-Fi]

one of my favorite mcs,

 

[Why-Fi]

SE was a gawd, pause. I bough his debut and follow up album back in the day.

Since he was in Juice, The Cosby Show, etc...I hope they talk about all of this.
