He definitely my favorite especially the older he got. He grew with age as an emcee most get wack but he got doper & harder & more clever & slick he's a bad man.
Dat has kept up with every stylistic development in hip hop over the last 2 decades and yet has remained lyrically powerful without conforming to others. That cats' pure old school New York and literally one of the most unique and intelligent voices the movement has ever produced.
Me and my Godbrother were recently compiling a list of the 10 best MC's in Hip-Hop. When we compared our lists', my Godbrother said: Sadat X? Are you sure? I knew he was never really a big Brand Nubian fan. So I took a few minutes to school him. I started with Sadat X has one of the most illest voices and the best delivery in Hip-Hop. After the lesson he still questioned a few others on my list but not X anymore. Thanks D-Nice this is long overdue.
Brand Nubians are living legends still spitting knowledge to the civilized and the uncivilized. As a group or solo they are solid. much respect to the Gods!
Individuality creates longevity which creates a Legacy of RESPECT AMONG US THAT ARE TRUE FANS OF TRUE HIP HOP. Every M.C. from the 70's til this moment that picks up a mic and the main goal to keep the listener focused on not only a story being told but a verbal encyclopedic journey that takes you to a place that makes you hit that rewind button over and over, timeless. TRUE M.C.'S DON'T DROP BARS THEY DROP KNOWLEDGE. MUCH RESPECT TO..... M.C. SADAT X
This is to fly... Enjoy ya PHYSICAL main man! Yo, D-Nice keep bringing these true HIP-HOP stories to light!!! Yo, Sadat! I meet you thru De La on that East Coast college tour '91.
Sadat X could be college professor, dudes smart as hell. That interview was tight! Dope location, simple angles, and a chill brooding pix of Sadat. I hope he keeps putting more new music out, his voice is sick. Good work D!
i love hiphop ...i may not listen to these coloful rappers but i always go to the classics and some of my oldschool artist still droppin Gems ...Big up Sadat X wild cowboy
Respect for bringing this piece. Respect to Sadat X. hold your head up. Your a good man. I see it in you. PEACE AND GOOD THINGS BE WITH YOU. Sincerely writing..
I'm late to the game and just found this channel and it's the truth! "Blame your mother and father for having you 15yrs too soon" He speaks the truth...a real dude
Real cat!i met with him n partying one night on Budapest,that was one of my best memory,even had chance to rappin wit him on stage at his concert,he was with greg nice...for me theese guyz the definition of a real MC!
BIG UPS to Sadat X - I remember him back when he rolled with Brand Nubian. Much respect. I need to catch up on more of his solo work- dude can spit his ass off!!!!!! Also BIG PROPS to D- NICE for his KILLER series. Just wish they were longer and I hope he puts out a compilation DVD.
Nice interview....Sadat X been my dude since back in the day. I remember seeing Brand Nubian in concert back in 93....one of the illest and most original emcees.
Word Sadat is very humble, seen duke get on the A train about 2 months ago in A.M. Nobody recognized him but me, I said peace to the God after he finished eating his quick breakfast and he went in his jacket and blessed me with a copy of Generation X..I thanked him and kept it moving..just wanted to acknowledge the Great X.. BTW D keep doing your thing, you should definitely interview EST the Greatest Man Alive!
Nice interview with music rapper Sadat X of Brand Nubian. Sadat X name is Derek Murphy. Sadat X, Willie D of Geto Boys, LL Cool J, Foxy Brown are my favorite music rappers.
Totally agree with what he said about fools trying to put age limits on rappers. So called hip hop fans are the worst! Lyrics don't have an expiration date! As long as u can spit and make relevant music, than I could care less about your age.. Rap is the only genre that really pushes that line too. I'll listen to Busta, Dre, Too Short, ect, as long as it sounds good to me..
Should there be an age limit on hip hip? Jazz artist Bob James is 78 and just dropped another album this year. The man is 78 years old and still killing it. The only thing I would say is, in hip hop your music should show a reflection of your personal growth. In your 40's you can't necessarily talk about the same subject matters, in the same manner.
This Man is timeless. He came to NC and showed us mad Love. We got a Hot joint together and he did one with me and my brother. Check out that Barz is Life feat Sadat X & Ski Beatz by #SplashBrothaz
Great interview w/ a true legend! Was hoping he'd touch on the kinda vicious tone the album cut of "Punks" has compared to the remix...always took me back that it kind of made the leap from "normal" homophobic lyrics to something a little more brutal and hoped he'd talk about it. But whatever. Sorry to hear about his run-in! Hope Sadat puts out more great shit in the future!
Sadat is literally one of the most solid and thorough cats in the game.
FACTS !!!!
The Nation of Islam
@@jaworshkielllerbe9403??

SADAT IS A DIAMOND 💎!!! A TRUE LEGEND IN RAP.!! 5% THANK YOU!!
One the best MC's period!
He definitely my favorite especially the older he got. He grew with age as an emcee most get wack but he got doper & harder & more clever & slick he's a bad man.
Sadat X is a inspirational dude. Definitely a special MC.
Love him! I miss all the truly talented, inspirational artists from the 80's and 90's! It saddens me that they are no longer recording! We need them!
NOT TRUE !!! Sadat be dropping steady fire !!! Top 5 doa to this day.
Dat has kept up with every stylistic development in hip hop over the last 2 decades and yet has remained lyrically powerful without conforming to others.
That cats' pure old school New York and literally one of the most unique and intelligent voices the movement has ever produced.
Hip hop should have no age limit..real shit..
Thank you X.✊🏽

this song reminds me of my early years in college. I danced to this at many a party back in the day (1990's) Memories..
One of my all time fav groups Brand Nubian, as a group or individually they were all on point. Knowledge yourself to better yourself.
Honored by the Gods presences!
Knowledge is always respected!

black prodigy since the age of twenty 🎤🎧🎵
saddat x is a really cool person
I remember when this first came out years ago and then it disappeared. Glad to see this joint again!
Word Sadat is very humble, seen duke get on the A train about 2 months ago in A.M. Nobody recognized him but me, I said peace to the God after he finished eating his quick breakfast and he went in his jacket and blessed me with a copy of Generation X..I thanked him and kept it moving..just wanted to acknowledge the Great X.. BTW D keep doing your thing, you should definitely interview EST the Greatest Man Alive!
great idea d doing these types of interviews (just wish they were longer). sadat always comes across very intelligent. great interview.
Good stuff. I have always been down with them dudes. They represented the Nation of Gods and Earths well.
This brotha is so underrated and definitely has one of the best unorthodox deliveries.
The quality of these videos are amazing yo. It's like the dudes are here in my living room.
Sadat X is the shizzle..love hearing this story!!
Peace and Blessings to Brand Nubian !
One of the best songs I've ever heard
One of a kind flow. Sadat will never play out.
46yrs old and STILL love hip hop
Punks Jump up to get beat down & Don't Let It Go To Ya Head are My Fave Brand Nubian GEMS.Of all time
Sadat X's last solo album (Generation X from last year) was the best hip hop release of 2008.
Mick Jagger is damn near a hundred years old and no one can tell him to stop making rock and roll music so continue to do your thing brother Sadat X.
1 of best interviews i ever seen
Sadat a real Nigga.. Peace to the Gods.
amazing........... always talkin sense, stay you sadat.
I love this shit. D-Nice is killing em with this!
My Man!
my favorite group of al times
He should do a spoken word album. His lyrics resonate when he speaks them. Sometimes I feel his his normal twang he raps with gets in the way.
Revisited this today. Fire.
Nice interview with music rapper Sadat X of Brand Nubian. Sadat X name is Derek Murphy. Sadat X, Willie D of Geto Boys, LL Cool J, Foxy Brown are my favorite music rappers.
Talented guy... with a great heart...
Thanks 4 truth great production D'Nice

Keep up the solid work Legend D-NICE AKA TR-808...1
I met Derek x way back in 89 at the MARS hip hop club in 12 st west highway NYC. DJ was Clark Kent used to dj there .
this dude is certified
long live sadat... NEW RO in the house!!
Great interview w/ a true legend! Was hoping he'd touch on the kinda vicious tone the album cut of "Punks" has compared to the remix...always took me back that it kind of made the leap from "normal" homophobic lyrics to something a little more brutal and hoped he'd talk about it.
