Why is EPMDs influence on Hip Hop so slept on?

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

People don't talk about EPMD because they are not from that era. It's that simple.

People are basing their hip-hop opinions off White owned websites that know nothing of the history and lineage.

Album sales do not properly denote the impact of EPMD at the cultural level.

There was a point in the late 80's that everywhere/anywhere you went, you'd hear EPMD.

People using their beats/samples would have been SLAYED for biting. They were that dope and unique (at the time).​

Geto Boys I hate that snitch 1988 then Epmd's Brothers on my jock1990 then Ghostface Daytona 500! OVERSIGHT Go learn that history nikka!

That would be a 2nd oversight. Props on the info but u felling yaself a lil to much so I'll just say this....

....even if u take 2 off that list EPMD still the most jacked.

 

[smokeurobinson]

All these words, for nothing...

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Art:

do you think The RZA was "influenced" to sample "Little Ghetto Boy" simply because Dr. Dre did?

Thats funny.


U totally just overlooked that I called your butterfly theory out for being empty and now u are pulling me into something totally different.




and art barr already explained to you about timelines and the flood....it is what it is.

Your whole argument is based on an alternative universe that doesnt exist.

yeah, I don't know why dudes go on for pages arguing about a hypothetical situation. shyt happened the way it did. some people were first, and others came after them

You and he won't answer my question, doe.

So i'll ask again:

do you think that the only reason The RZA sampled "Li'l Ghetto Boy" is because Dr. Dre did?

Now u acting ignorant on purpose...

...Art Bar gave u the answer that u seem to wanna ignore on purpose. We all know that The flood fukked up a lot of the direction of where Wu Tang Forever was supposed to origianlly go. Art Bar said he wasnt feeling the song and that around that time Rza , due to his culural imput on Hip Hop, gets a pass for anytthing that may look off due to having to put something together under a deadline. WHAT MORE OF AN ANSWER DO U WANT AFTER THAT??? Let me tell u why u are off for ignoring this. You're more focused on what Rza was sampling then the fact that Rza actually put a good album together in due time after the flood. Rmemeber, WTF was pushed back and was supposed to drop February 97. It didnt drop till June 97.


Rza gave us a good album while under the pressure of having the original plans ruined with the pressure of also having a deadline and u knit picking picking about 1 song. Instead of saying "Yo Rza good looking out on putting something good together in time even tho the flood fukked up the original plans" Your going "I dont care about the flood lets ignore that Rza actually put a good album together under such pressure and get super technical about what Rza was sampling on this 1 song"






LOL. Thats u reaching again, Aint no one ever stressed that 1 song in 20 years like u are right now and thats cuz u reaching for anything. just like u did when making up alternative universes about Eric and Parrish not being born...LOL

Don't even do that to these dudes...that's a whole other thread...

Good point.

Above The Law who came out 2 years after EPMD and 3 years after Public Enemy? Why didnt u post any music after making such bold statements??



Remember those whistles I was refering to that PE was popular for doing in 88 that would be a contributing factor to G Funk in the future?? yeah well u can hear them all over 1 of Above The Laws biggest songs in 1990. So if u thought Above The Law was the father of G Funk just call me Maury because I just pulled out the envelope and it says NOT THE FATHER.








Let me also add that this song still bangs 27 years later.

Above The Law

THIS is probably the album that influenced G-Funk the most
