@@reedcole5780 He's very prolific, but I don't know about his recent albums, they're decent, but they just don't seem to be as good as his stuff before 2000.
Thank you very much for this JayQuan i am a Ultramagnetic Die Hard and what you did in this video is enough i agree with you The Critical Beatdown was a perfect album in my opinion it's the greatest hip-hop album from the late 80's once again keep providing real hip-hop to Young Brother Peace
Would get amp listening to Ced Gee Delta Force lacing up my Nike Delta Force before a game in 10th grade. My favorite group back in the Day. I remember hearing Funky on a promo for Red Alert back in 86-87 and that put me on a relentless hunt to find that damn song. Ced Gee will forever be my favorite producer!!!
jayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you just gave me a MOVIE to watch today for dinner! i say it again salute to your hard work and the proper lessons of our rich culture thank you young man again!
When I was in 6th grade a bunch of Jamaican dudes were playing "Bait"...it took me time to catch on to Ultra. Red and Chuck definitely played them a lot. Give the drummer some is the one to push me over the edge.
On Kool Keith's second verse for "Ain't it good To You", he dissed Rakim's "Follow the Leader" lyrics. Dope. Moe Love's needle skipped on "Delta Force". They kept the take on the album. Dope. For lack of better terms, Ultra's "Critical Beatdown" album changed my life. Lol. Spectacular #RGM
So I saw them this summer for the first time in Brooklyn. And I thought they reminded me of funkadelic. The style and dress. It was one of the best hip hop shows I’ve been to..
easily one of my favorite groups, period. definitely appreciate you, brother for doing this. Ultramag, ill rhyme schemes, ill production. pioneers of hip hop and Ced Gee has over the years become one of my favorite producers with a lot of production outside of Ultra; Synquis and Finesse with a slew of others. salute to the legends, salute.
I'm 21 y old but Ultramagnetic is without no doubt my favourite Hip Hop ever. As you said, they just so different from any other Hip Hop group but that's what makes them so special. Their Rhymes together with the Production, matches just so perfectly. Hope that the Kool Keith lesson comes soon.
The name and song titles is what caught me along with the beats but put all that with that super scientific rhyme flow blew my mind . Nobody I mean nobody out of New York City sounded like them when they came out and they had radio play on KISS FM with red alert 🚨. I loved these niggas a great contribution to the culture .
love these 3 albums. i remember when funk your head up dropped, I was slightly disappointed because they dropped all the scientifical madness they used to spit but after 2 listens I was like....yo this joint is phat!
Peace to you Brother...Your Platform on this Ultra Mag MCs..Takes me back late 80s Rap...Kool Keith and the whole Ultra Mag Crew was ahead of there time in Rap...Peace and Blessings
It’s amazing how hip hop terms definitions changes. Back in the day a freestyle was a rap that just really wasn’t about anything subject wise it was the rap version a free writing. And if you didn’t write your rhyme first it was called going of the top of my head. But now anytime someone don’t write they call it a freestyle.
I’m 23 about to change the whole game bringing that real back with youth.. I never knew who Ultramagnetic was but I came across some new CedGee interview and already knew I’d find all I needed about him and the group thru this channel like I have for a while now... To find out that your from my city The 804 Richmond VA gave me hella motivation 😤 You droppin so many Gems OG I appreciate it 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
& S/O to a SUPER legendary Group UltraMagnetic.. Them & BDP changed the game when they dropped The Bridge Is Over. Ain’t no tellin where HipHop would be if that never came out.. Or Funky 🔥🔥🔥
You’re right about Chuck D & Kool Keith; 2 MCs with styles so idiosyncratic that they’re almost beyond comparison to other MCs. Good luck with that Kool Keith lesson, all things considered. Good stuff as always. Peace.
I really feeling this lessons however you killed me with not letting CedGee be heard...As a day one Ced fan he was sooo under appreciated as a emcee compared to Keith but they complemented each other perfectly. At least I heard The Delta 👍🏾
Jay you outdid yourself on this one , I’ve always been a fan of Ultra, still got their songs on 12” , Ced Gee is very underrated as a producer. You definitely gotta do one on break beats brother.
15:01 *Ced Gee, the first user of E-mu SP-12* . He figured in their mind that the revolutionary technique of Marley Marl was provided by that machine (when actually was a TR-808 trigerring chop samples from a couple of Korg SDD2000 units).
The Foundation: If you listen closely to Break North it contains the sample "Fly like an Eagle" from The Steve Miller Band. They used half a bar of it. Its the background sound that loops in between the drum beat as they are rhyming. Also Ain't it good to you is a jab at Rakim who used the same beat around the same time.
Great video. I bought their first track To give you love in 1986 which was def. Since then they have became hip hop legends and one of the important hip hip groups of the hip hip generation.
@@stirlingpickett5253 The tide is about to turn. I feel it. Pages like this are becoming more and more popular. People are hungry. This dry spell's about to bring on some lyrical beasts lol.
definitely should, both Just-Ice and The Blastmaster dedicated their careers to giving the true history of HipHop. If anybody deserves documentaries they do.
Did I miss something? (House D.J. Jive 5 from B & B at the Harlem Karate Inst.) I first met Ced Gee, Kool Keith and the rest of the groups at the Wild Style concert down town. Too bad I missed the World Tour at Manchester and Europe. However, I took many photos and video's of them. They are down to earth, and just like Doug E Fresh and Red Alert, the most nice and respectful Entertainer's I have ever work with. When Mike the Millionaire hired me to take pictures of them at the El Cortez Club, I heard their famous hit "EGO TRIPPING" on Next Plateau Records. I told Mike that's the Record I played at all my parties. Didn't even know it was them. We had the best of times after that. Can't waite until the next tour. I hope not to miss that. High Five! Thank you Jayquan.
Jay Quan respect for this bro! Kool Keith killed Moe Dee on "Bust The Facts" and kissed him in the Source Magazine in the article "Bronx Bombers". I believe Moe Dee never wanted to acknowledge him because Keith would have been too much of a challenge lyrically. It became easier for him to just ignore him.
@The Foundation Yes Sir, I do love the Ultra Magnetic track with the Star 🌟 Wars loops, like the X-Wing Fighter ship. They looped the engine noise through out the whole track, and it was musical, pure genius, and the end with Luke Skyway ( we’re going in full throttle, that ought to keep them fighters of our back….)
Just peeped the joint! Word to the 4 Horsemen!!!!!!!! “I GET ATOMIC HYPER GALATICA WORD TO MOMS IM IN MY OWN WORLD! GALAXY RAYS……………. POWA-FULL!” Word to DOC OCT
I hung out with Kool Keith a couple times. I was rapping and producing in LA in the late '90s. During UMC's initial outing, I had been living with my pops and he was super strict. This meant that I missed out on lots of rap during 86-89. So upon meeting him I didn't really know who he was. His personality in-person matches his rhymes. I think I met him when I was hanging out with Raheem of the Furious Five. Raheem is a nut! Hilarious and we smoked a lot of chronic mixed with Morrocan h-ash.
A couple tidbits re: Nautilus, Ced Gee, JMJ & Onyx - Chyskills (RIP) did the heavy lifting on 'Throw Ya Guns", but a funny thing about that Nautilus sample is that Ultra used that exact same piece that Onyx used on Tim Dog's opening track on Penicillin On Wax when they produced his album. I wouldn't be surprised that JMJ & Chyskills heard that joint and went with it....
Been waiting on this one Jay!! Lovin it.. One thing, in Mississippi we always get music MAAD late. "Ego Trippin came out in 86 but it didn't appear in stores here until early 87, that's when I copped it. " Bait" I got on the "Red Alert Goes Berzerk" comp that didn't come here until 1987 by that time it was OLD!! LOL... I thought Ego came out before "Bait". I got "Mentally Mad/Funky" right between Ego and Bait. Plus the version of it on the comp didn't have the 4th Kool Keith verse. So my intro to UltraMagnetic happened in 1987.
Much appreciations. Ps I have it like that , I need it like .... Pps That Melvin Bliss "Synthetic Substitution," is one of best songs ever created. And Bob James is no joke.
I agree the watermelon man beat was a nice sample that slot of rap groups used don't forget LL cool J used the watermelon man on 1800 LL cool J song on the panther album
Respect & Gratitude to Jayquan for these Hip-Hop gems. Keep ‘em comin’!!! I’d Love to see SCHOOLY D!! Also…Audio 2 (and ALL the First Priority label heads), Shinehead, Asher D and Daddy Freddy, EPMD, Redman, LL, Flavor Unit (Chill Rob G, Lakim Shabaz!!) & The 45 King…man!! What a blessing to have grown up when we did, huh?!! In addition; since I came up outside Washington DC, any chance that some Go-Go (the less talked about/known step child of Hip-Hop!) artists could get a ‘lil Love? Nuff Respect!!
I perform with TaRock sparky d and the New York City breakers way back in the game so I know them and Greg nice which was my homeboy back in the game in Tacoma wa ,one of the illest beat boxers ever was Greg nice....
Always been my favourite band since I heard critical beat down in the 80s which blew my head off, still pump the album the four horesman which is largely ignored ..the best ❤️☮️
Great work as always JayQuan. We was lucky in London, in 1990 we had Tim Westwood dropping a few tracks we thought were going to be on the second Ultra LP, only to be disappointed when it finally dropped a couple years later. I thought you might have mentioned Paul C, I wonder if he had been around for the 2nd LP how it might have sounded.
Lee Lawrence thanks for watching. Someone else mentioned Paul. I did briefly mention him as an engineer, because the group members have said that he only engineered the sessions. Hopefully that Paul C doc will see the light of day..
Thanks. I'm already in the process of watching the Paul C doc, it was open in my web browser for months but never got around to it, but this has gave me the push to start it.
Yeah I hear you, I'm bad I must have missed the mention. Paul was credited as producer on Give The Drummer, one of the biggest tracks of the LP, would be interesting to know how involved he was with the rest of it.
Yes Lee Lawrence, have to mention the original version of MC Champion and Message from the Boss, so raw and so dope compared to what arrived on the 2nd album.
I saw in an interview that Ced Gee sampled Prince on the original Poppa Large, and Prince wanted 100 percent royalties, so Ced gave the track up to Beatminerz, and ironically Keith liked it even though he was Picky, and didn't like doing remixes, and it came out to be what it is you know Good video though! Learned alot I didn't know
I'm not even a dj and i got two copies of critical beat down on vinyl they were way ahead of there time even andre harrell knew they were dope that's why he managed them .
Thanks for the great lesson JayQuan!! Best series I've seen on YoutUbe for a long time!!! You're brilliant for this!! All about the music, no bullshit!! Just education. I think you went too hard on Ced Gee for his voice on Four Horsemen though...I always enjoyed his verses on there...it's a dope contrast to Keith's high pitch...gives gravity . Peace and keep the great work coming!!
This is great many thanks! Critical beatdown is probably one of my most played albums of all time. I really should check the rest of their catalogue, I really like the Cenobites era of kool Keith, him and godfather don made a great duo
Keith just so underrated... he was KILLING it back in the 86-93 era ...
And he kept killing it well into the late '90s.
💪
@@finkployd6110 He's still killing it, he put out three albums last year

Mantronix is underrated. KLC and Mannie Fresh, in there opinion, both sight Matronix as the greatest Hip-Hop producer of all time.

Thanks for the great lesson JayQuan!! Best series I've seen on YoutUbe for a long time!!! You're brilliant for this!! All about the music, no bullshit!! Just education.
I think you went too hard on Ced Gee for his voice on Four Horsemen though...I always enjoyed his verses on there...it's a dope contrast to Keith's high pitch...gives gravity . Peace and keep the great work coming!!
Thanks for looking bro!
nah, Ced voice sounded crazy and choppy, with all due respect.
7th St SpeakEZ 😂🤣😂 I’d rather listen to Ced on an Ultra horseman tip than 99% of the rappers out now incl. J Cole etc 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
ULTRAMAGNETIC MCS ARE THE DOPEST UNDERGROUND RAP GROUP . TIMELESS
This is great many thanks! Critical beatdown is probably one of my most played albums of all time. I really should check the rest of their catalogue, I really like the Cenobites era of kool Keith, him and godfather don made a great duo
Two brothers with checks!
One thing you have to say is Ultramagnetic introduced having a drum rolls, something people like Just Blaze and Kanye perfected later on in Hip Hop.
Ced gee is so fucking dope at production!!!
