- Today’s feature is one of the dopest rappers, before his time, that may have missed his window of rap stardom. Not that he didn’t have a nice career he could still profit from, but as far as becoming the star he could’ve with his talent, that didn’t happen. At some point people forget about you and he’s one rapper from those days I’d like to highlight and talk about where he met music Growth Stunts that caused his before its time talent not to shine like it would today or could've at that time. Some things were out of his control and some were decisions that changed the path of his rap career. Nonetheless, his song "Ghetto Jam" What Happened To Rapper Domino? Stunted Growth Music

Rapper Domino made one of my favorite songs of the 90s that I almost forgot about until Lady Lex suggested it. Thank you! Domino was dope. Still had a nice career where he could travel and do his thing, but what happened to his career after "Ghetto jam and Physical Funk"?
Do a "Danny Boy " Stunned Growth Death Row wasted his talent
Do Webbie please
Bro please do a video on t pain or will I am
For some reason, still no young dro...
Can you do Ill Al Skratch, buckshot (black moon and boot campclik), lady of rage and edo g
Domino was definitely ahead of his time. “Ghetto Jam” still gets heavy rotation on my playlists.
that's sad
Tales from the Hood song was classic too.
@@goatmouth1069 That whole album🔥
You missed a lot about Domino he was on Bloods and Crips Bangin On Wax and actually used to rap with Snoop in high school.
Don’t forget nate dogg and genuine draft oh I’m sorry domino came in the game at the around the same time
Was the only crab with talent.
And "I put the B side on the C side
Of my bangin' on wax.. foo"
@@GS-by7ci I gotta keep it 100, as a GD I gotta say the red side of the tape was fire. The blue side of that first album was not fire but it was descent. The blue-sided tape should have said genuine draft, if I'm not mistaken what's Domino's first rap name..... I might be wrong 🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
You’re right! His name was Genuine Draft. He has the first verse on the track “Bangin on Wax” where he opens the verse up by saying, “Genuine draft…” I thought he had the best verse for the crips and hated he didn’t appear on more tracks.
@@herbdelights4024 you’re in a gang in 2022? For real?
Sweet potato pie is a straight classic till this day horribly underated song. Love Domino
Thats what im saying 👏🏾💯
I loved Domino's first album. I had never thought of comparing his style to Snoop. His first album was a 10 out of 10. Sweet Potato Pie was one of the best songs of the decade.
I can't find his first album anywhere.
YOOOOOOO!! I forgot about Domino! "Getto Jam" and "Sweet Potato Pie" are stone cold classics! Props on featuring him. ✊🏾👍🏾
Yes SWEET POTATO PIE & ghetto jam
Do you qualify
If you keep yourself physically fit, eating right, drinking water, & also taking the time to hone your craft consistently while still putting YOUR life inside the music (past, present, & future) an artist can still perform at a top level.
Yup. I think this day and age it’s different just update your content in rhymes.
@@justinhenryrebel Facts!
Truth.
That's deep🦩!
Exactly. Ms. Patti LaBelle has been SANGIN’ her butt off since the days of the “Chitlin Circuit.” She still sounds amazing. She has protected her voice. Aretha still sounded amazing until almost the end. Snoop still would sound great on wax. Eminem still sounds good (though I prefer his art when he was younger and hungry). I could go on.
Also remember ,Domino was signed to Def Jam when Def Jam was on verge to bankruptcy. Domino came along before Warren G, who saved DEF JAM with Regulate.
Montell Jordan as well
@@holagovito he did, but Warren came out first lol Warren Lit a fire, Montell added the gasoline for Def Jam for sustainability
Yeah coz they spent big promoting trash like Ll
Facts. The needed it after the fiasco that was LL's "14 Shots to the Dome." 🤦🏾♂️
Facts. I remembered that. Nobody talks about that tho.
Okay this is a classic choice right here...much respect for this one.
I always preferred "Sweet potato pie" to "Ghetto Jam" just my opinion. I did like both though. Also give props to the track "Tales from the Hood" from the Tales from the Hood soundtrack!
Tales from the hood was very dope
That song on the soundtrack was soo dope. I still bump that Hood got me feelin da pain off that album too
Same, the beat & flow was considerably better in “Sweet Potato Pie” imo, even the video was better… The sample of the sister took that track to another level too
U hit it on the nose
Me too bro ..sweet potato pie hits hard thanks to battle cat .
I love Domino. I still play his music daily. Me and my friends bought and would jam out to his albums so his music means a little more to me than the average listener.
The fact that someone remembers Domino’s existence >>>>>>>>>>>>>
Nate Dogg debuted on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album back in 1992 ... and his cousin Bo-Roc who is also known as the singer from "The Dove Shack" who was featured with "The Twinz" and Warren G all came out around the same time right along with Domino during the "G Funk Era"
Foesum played the huge role as well
@@mrkilo-g8794 I forgot about that group and have very little knowledge about their music ... but it's crazy how many people contributed to Long Beach hip-hop back in the day ... much respect
That's CRAZY in my 40 years on living I NEVER heard of a Domino and Snoop comparison. They sound nothing alike....and Nate Dogg did not come out in the late 90's bruh...he was on the Chronic and Snoops album that you were just speaking of in 92-93 (not to mention the BIGGEST hip-hop song in 94 Regulate by Warren G and NATE DOGG).......lol TF you getting your info from? lol
I came to the comments just to see if I was tripping. I'm 41 & I remember those times well! I never heard of no such comparison. Maybe somebody like Ice Cube's boy, Kay Dee or Dru Down could've been compared to Snoop. But if anything, Domino would've been compared to Nate Dogg, who was a prominent figure in the rise of Death Row & that G-funk sound that they were known for in the early 90's, prior to whatever StuntedGrowth was referring to in the late 90's.
I'm 44 and I never heard that either. Maybe that was a debate over on the west coast
Yeah, there was never any comparison between Domino and Snoop as far as I recall, even with them both being West Coast artists. Not sure where that notion came from.
Also… yeah, Nate Dogg was NOT 10 years after Domino. Kyv’ace is right.
I do remember him being on bloods and crips before blowing with ghetto jam and they used to say him snoop rapped together in high school.
For some reason, I always associate Domino with me firing up the Sega to play NBA Jam. It's crazy how perfectly 90s Ghetto Jams was yet the music industry at that time was scared of the overall concept.
I had NBA Jam!! that was my game! 😂😂😂
Anybody got the genesis version??
Now that’s real old school salute to you sir for this one
Us 70's BABIES had the most fun in the 1990's HipHip & RnB decade
1993 -1997 was extremely competitive in music .... EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE!!!! The fact that he had the hit he had and the run he had is INCREDIBLE! MOST! people will never achieve what he did!
I'm from DC but I lived in the LBC from 87-98 and dominoe was a true rapper and a good dude. I met him and snoops mom at the barber school.. shout out to him
Do paperboy next
Bringing up Domino makes me think of TQ. He was before his time as well and was Bryson Tiller before Bryson Tiller.
He wasn’t that good
TQ was more like Ray J w/o brandy as his sister 🤣
TQ was average bro. Just sayin!
That hook on the classic
"SWEET POTATO PIE....was
Definitely 🔥...
Glad to see Domino is still around
And doing well....
Good story on domino but you missed a lot of key points about him 1. Domino and snoop are both for Long Beach and they for sure had different sounds 2. Domino Genuine drag and came out with battle cat on the blood and crips album but I do agree with you he was way ahead of his time
You should research the stunted growth of Dungeon Family rapper Cool Breeze who started out with Goodie Mob on " Da Dirty South and Dropped the Posse Cut Classic " Watch for the Hook"
Nelly & Ja Rule benefitted greatly from the hook driven sing a long records. Domino suffered from the same thing Das EFX & Bone Thugs did, people copying their style so much, fans grew tired of the originators of the style.
Domino actually abandoned his signature style on his 2nd album. Plus Battlecat didnt produce his 2nd album or any after. Thats why Domino fell tf off. No rapper in the history of hip hop sounded like Domino. Not Bone, Nelly, Nate Dogg, or Ja Rule. They were just rapping melodically.
um Bone only started losing ground when Bizzy lost his mind with depression and drug use. His voice was so unique you couldn't just replace it or ommit him from the album and expect the fans to go crazy like they had been.
Das Efx albums got better and better in my opinion
@@DranksandGrub they're making 3x platinum
I used to LOVE this song (Ghetto Jam)...Recorded it on a TDK cassette from the radio 🤦🏻♀️
T-pain stunted growth video please
Domino started as Genuine draft on the Bangin on Wax album. You should do a stunted growth on the "bloods and crips from Bangin on Wax". And x-raided
💯💯💯
Domino was a rap staple in our home. Plus being a STL Native👌🏽💪🏾👏🏾🙌🏾💓
Facts
Graduated High School 1993, on the West Coast. This song is still serious nostalgia!
We opened up for Domino in Fayetteville NC back in the day. Word up.
Fayettenom in da house
@@PlayafromtheHimalayas Yes Sir!! He was on a huge tour with Wu Tang, OutKast, SuperCat, YZ, Masta Ace and 12 Gauge.
@@MrCharizmatiik Domino would have been huge but Snoop came on the scene and took everybody's lime.
@@PlayafromtheHimalayas That is wild because I didn't think so even back then. When we did the show it was in 1996. Snoop was out but at least for me it didn't feel like he took his light...but I am just one person lol
I’d love to see a Stunted Growth on Pharcyde!
Domino was very melodic with his raps I'm sure he influenced some, I'm a east coast girl and he was the first man I ever heard sing a flowy type rap. I never thought about Snoop but I definitely see your stance.
Domino definitely pioneered that singsongy flow.
@@JayFingers facts , then Bone thugs n harmony took that template and put a Midwest twang on it
If u don't mind me asking where u from
Sweet Potato Pie has been my jam since my teenage years 🔥🔥
I was bumping “Ghetto Jam” the other day such a 90s classic.
you did Domino, dope, now hit Sam Sneed next. A lot from his story thats unknown to the hip hop community
U Betta Recognize! 👍🏾👍🏾
@@JayFingers yo bitch chose me!
Ghetto jam is 🔥
Salute my brotha. I like the channel and the movement tht you're pushing especially with the stunted growth videos. We should definitely collab soon. Speaking of the stunted growth videos, I would definitely love if u did one on soulja slim
Nate Dogg came in the game in the late 90s? Wow dude. We adults thought he came in the game with Snoop. Thanks for that.
I mean I guess nate had a time machine and went back to 92 to drop his stuff from 98
Great upload!
Great job JC ghetto jam was a great song and a great video.
I've wanted to request this for some time, but could you do one on Bobby Brown or Jodeci?
We definently need bobby brown and jodeci (kc and jojo, along with the new edition and jodeci alumnis like kci and jojo, devante swings, mr. Dalvin, and Johnny gill. Those branches are long overdue for a growth stunt.
If you think creating music is for people who are young, you probably will never make it as an artist. There's no age limit on making music and having a career in music. It's all about your image and how you present yourself to your audience. There's still a bunch of rappers that's well in their 40s and 50s that still create music. KRS One just dropped a new track that was hot. It's all about how you present yourself and your delivery. The music industry is afraid to indoctrinate older rappers in the mainstream because it represents growth in Hip-hop. They want to keep it a young person's game. They want people to feel like by the time your 40 years old, you've missed out and have to find another profession.
If you have a fan base that was with you when you started and yeah you’ll stay relevant but let’s be real it’s mostly for younger people for example where is Madonna, Janet Jackson? KRS1 is not as popular now as in the late 80s early 90s. There are exceptions such as snoop Jay z too short to name a few but those are rare. Rap and the music bizz is a young person sport
@hstone39 ….SPEAK ON IT !!
@@the4thtribe709 ….u JUST proved the damn point muggle ! ..with that BS disguised as insight.stop feeding into it.
@@the4thtribe709 That's because you been conditioned to accept that. Truth is that hip hop never matured. Why? Because you and everyone else DEPENDS on the music industry to tell you what's popular. Even when majority of the songs is trash. You want quality music, you have to dig the internet for it.
4:21 I never knew that Domino was the first West Coast Rapper on Def Jam. I just knew it was Warren G. Always learn something new 😎
This episode gets you a sub! Keep up the good work
Thank you so much.
This one was a goodie right here, I was expecting this💯👏🏽👍🏽💪🏽
This particular one brought back some memories....thanks. #90smusic
Nate Dogg came out in the late 90s? I believe regulators by Warren G feat Nate Dogg came out in 94. One year after Ghetto jam and Nate has been featured on way more classics than dude. Do your research!
Can you do Little Brother? They were definitely ahead of their time!
Nate Dogg wasn't later. He actually song on The Chronic and Doggystyle
We cant forget Warren g regulate that put Nate dogg into stardom.
he meant like a bigger star
Domino…on a Saturday morning… just gettin up…I’m here! Dahdundweee, dadundwee, dadundweeeee!
Peace
I love the channel. Can You do One On The Pharcyde ?
Wow look how respectful the video women looked back in the 90s...the good ole days. I was 10 years old when this song dropped so I remember this song very well.
I see you Stunted Growth. You playing chess in this game. Well since you did your thing with this Domino episode, how about we find out what happened to Paperboy?! 🤔
Binge watching ur channel. Good stuff
I am from lagos nigeria and I always watched bet in nigeria in the early 90s on our local stations in 1993 my dad also travelled a lot to america and brought back tapes of bet and mtv he record on vhs for me and my brothers in the early 90sss from 1991 till the mid late 90s when he stopped travelling to america . I love domino songs till date , e.g ghetto jam , sweet potato pie
Domino was too ahead of his time. He would have benefited from being an artist 10-20 years in the future.
Yo let's get that Boss episode. She was gaining buzz but when she was exposed for not actually being "gangsta" it killed her career. If it was today's age it wouldn't have mattered.
WOW! Yes, a Bo$$ episode would be dope!
@@JayFingers We all know wtf happened to Bo$$. Word got out that she grew up in a nice neighborhood and went to private school and college. Magazines reported that she was a studio gangsta. Thats wtf ruined her career
@@JayFingers hell yeah
No doubt...her Born Gangstaz (debut) album was 🔥
@@dianevrules in todays age that just sounds ridiculous
His career started on the bloods and Crip albums
Wrong about Nate Dogg’s timing. He WAS there and a name at the time. Remember he was on The Chronic, Doggystyle AND Regulate.
Exactly I was going object him on that shit
Exactly he dropped regulate in 94 dude is way off Nate was an OG
Ghetto Jam & Sweet Potato Pie r true classics without question 🔥🔥
This is a really good one...here we go, here we go
Can you do a Stunted Growth on Little Shawn?
Yooooooooo good one
Being from St. Louis I can attest that the melody thing was home grown there.
I felt Nelly was the one who brought melodic rap to the forefront after Domino. And the St. Lous connection is pretty telling. Nelly may have been inspired by Domino.
@@bubbaveaux I don’t know this to be true but a barber in LA told me Domino was originally from the Lou and to go back further there was a a MC/DJ named Mixmaster Spade he used melody in a similar way he supposed to be from the Lou also. Last thing we had Dr. Jockinstein he hosted the Roll Call Show. It was a call in and rhyme thing. The cadence he created for the intro could be where we got it from.
U snapped for this one pops had me on domino at a young age
This brotha crossed my mind out the blue tonight.
He definitely had his own style and was smooth with it.
👀👀 this was genius stunted growth
I will be 40 next year and remember when domino came at when I was 9. Bro had it on lock for 1993 thru 1995
said we gonna start this thang off right. Domino in the house. Salute.
He also had a song tales from the hood
Here we go here we go
You gon make me dig in da crates today after seeing this!!!!😎👍🏽👍🏽
Nice bro…. The real OG
This was right on time. I always wanted to know what happened to Domino. I remember having his first tape as a kid. Raincoat was my favorite track on that tape.
Nate Dogg debuted in 92 on the chronic then doggystyle and had a hit in 94 with warren g so was in the exact same era he just grew his popularity and exposure ,domino needed to surround himself with talent ,the early to mid 90s was all about crews/ collectives that helped each other’s careers.
Funny thing is there are two Dominoes. The other one being a producer for The Hieroglyphics.
Nate Dogg was out at the same time as Domino
Here we go,here we go!!!!!
What year were you born bro ?
All your vids are very insightful 🏁
94' i'm in Cali & had this & Definitely BUMPED This Album!! He had 3-4 Really good Songs on that Album.
This guy said Nate Dogg came out 10 years after domino. Nate Dogg was The Chronic Album that dropped in 1991 and was making hits throughout the 90's.
2 days ago I looked uo this track. Completely loved him. Hail from Romania, E.U. :)
I grew up during this time and I don't remember anyone saying he sold out or wasn't dope. He just disappeared after this. I never heard his second album or anything else. I remember Ghetto Jam being slapped at every party back then. And I feel like Montell Jordan stole his wave a few years later too.
I was just thinking about this song last week.
I had his first album on a tape in 1996. Songs like "Sweet Potatoe Pie", "Ghetto Jam" and "AFD" just blew my mind!!!
Great video on Domino ::: can't forget his debut appearance on 'Bangin on Wax' produced by Battlecat! (who produced Domino's first album)
Love Domino's music. "Ghetto Jam" and "Sweet Potato Pie" are the shit til this day. If you are too young for this guy, think of Max B. He is the east coast version of Domino. I always wondered what happened to him and why his career didn't continue.
You should do Tupac career if he hadn’t passed away and you should also do Pop Smoke as well those are two artists I would love for you to cover on your channel. I feel like both artists influentially changed hip hop with a certain style and blueprint that had many follow behind both of them in two different generations.
Yeah but they fell off cuz they dead
His album ghetto jam was classic,salute soldier
You should do Skee-Lo “I wish I was a little bit taller wish I was a baller”
What is the Stunted Growth theme music? That beat is nice💯
I remember him more from tales from the hood more than anything. Smooth classic track.
Man I been asking this for yours I’m like how he never got his props or is spoken about his style was raw
Yeah, I never got the comparisons of him and snoop. I could.clearly hear two different artist listing to them. I don't even think snoop could came close rapping on thr beat to ghetto jam. The song reminds me a lot of " today was a good day" with the story telling. Also I hope one day you do " camp lo". Easily a top 5 group of all time to me in hip hop and they are still together. I think they should have been way bigger than they are
Camp lo should've been huge!!! Luchini alone should've been a huge hit
@@JSmithRecords and it's crazy how original, stylish and charismatic they were that they never got any big features. I would have loved to hear them collab with outkast, timberland , Pharrell, etc. I can't think of one major act they made a song with and they were from newyork. Their stylemwas.pretty much the epitome of that city
Bloods & crips. I remember him as genuine draft
The first episode in which I had absolutely no idea about. But I see how folks bit his style
New subscriber
Great choice right here
I saw him at Seattle hempfest some years back. He performed Ghetto Jam with a Live band it was tight.
The people who loved Domino from back in the day.Still love him. Just like any other artists from back in the day. He should get on an ole skool tour!
I talked to him. he's still doing his thang 🔥
