This dropped in winter of 1988, 37 years ago. Special Ed, a native of Brooklyn NY was like a young man from the 21st century, who traveled back in time to drop this. Many young freestylers spit this way today, a rather talking simpler way of delivery. He was way ahead of his time. It's also another prime example of New York's extensive style and techniques.
We actually attended the same high school. Erasmus Hall shown throughout the video. And I actually ran into him on the streets, blocks from the school. My cousin actually got his autograph. Lol
He ready Duck Down yet😂 He aint even do The Message, Hev, Kid & Play, Latifah, Self Destruction, Brand Nubian, he aint get thu KRS, Shan, Run DMC, Native Tonges, L, LL... he gotta ways b4 he earn Duck Down😅
Man, you be killin' me with your reactions! (That, "the closest thing I've ever come to potato alligator is cornbread statement," is freakin' hilarious!)✌️😎☠️💀
Special Ed album was called the youngest in charge.. he was 16 yrs old. Wrote his own rapps Big difference from the way 16 year olds rap today.. Boogie u didn't catch this line.. "Think... Just blink ....an I make a million rhymes . Think about it.. if u blink a million times... Dam I be paid... I got it made.." Mature Thought provoking rap from a 16 year old.. ignorance got no recognition like it gets today.
When you said "wait ain't that manslaughter?" I swear I came out the chair lol that was great. Whoever is requesting these are on my level. Im loving it.
At 7:15 the rhyme is similar to Rakin on "My melody" "...I'll take 7 MCs put 'em in a line, and add 7 more bros who think they can rhyme, well it'll take 7 more before I go for mine, now that's 21 MCs ate up at the same time"! Great reaction as always!!
Special Ed was one of the first teen rappers behind LL Cool J, Roxanne Shante, & Big Daddy Kane. This song was written when he was 15 years old and released a year later at 16.
That was me bro! I suggested Special Ed when I first saw and subscribed to your channel. I was one of your first 500 subscribers. You and I both are from Alabama. I was in middle school when he dropped this joint. NY rappers had the attention of young black kids all the way in ALABAMA. No internet. No social media. Just radio and BET! (Some MTV moments) This one track made Special Ed one of hip hop’s greatest lyricist. Listen to The Magnificent by Special Ed as well.
Man im a former a&r for nervous rec n tvt blunt also workrd on the original shook ones, signed many groups and i straight up love what u do. Would love to drop some jewels on u and connect u with some of these artist. All praises...keep going
One of the most underrated lyricist in the history of hip-hop special ed was incredible and he can go off the top of the dome to 10 to 15 minutes. I’ve seen it with my own eyes very underrated rapper.
The best part is how he was bragging and this was his first single. No one had even heard of him yet.. He even did a few interviews from his bedroom that was smaller than some prison cells. He only had a twin bed and a turntable and was living with him mom. That's just how hip-hop has always been.. fake it til you make it.
Check out Kriss Kross “Jump”. In 1992 these guys were 12 &13 years old when they released “Jump”. They wore their clothes backwards & popped up on the scene hard. However In 2013 the youngest Chris passed away @ 34 yo. I think you’ll enjoy these guys.
Crooklyn Dodgers (Crooklyn Soundtrack) [Special Ed, Masta Ace, & Buckshot rhyming, produced by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest]. Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers (Clockers Soundtrack) [Chubb Rock, Jeru Tha Damaja, & O.C., rhyming, produced by DJ Premier of Gangstarr] keep up the great work fam congrats on 30K peace and blessings 💯!👊🏽🫡💯
Special Ed was the first incredible young rapper I remember. Way ahead of his time. One of my all time favorites, a freestyle genius. They way they are dressed, the dances, East Coast 88 all the way I was in 10 th grade. Salute young man.
That's something I like about old school hip-hop... not much cursing, nwords, or bwords - just dope lyrics whether they be hardcore, party, street, reality, humorous, or alternative rap songs. Another dope song/video you should check out one is: Chubb Rock - Treat 'Em Right...
This is my first time seeing your videos. Congrats on 30,001! I had to subscribe!! Every song I thought of youve already reacted to it. Im on a Mission (another Special Ed song and me binge watching your videos tonight )😊
What most people don't realize is that Special Ed at age 16 years old here was being 'sarcastic' in this song...and they used satire for the music video. He was making fun of himself...lol. For instance the song he's rapping about how much he "got it made' (as in being a success), however, he's in a junkyard surrounded by junk. That was one of the main points of the video. It was self-depreciating humor. His high level of sarcasm at the young age of 16, went over the heads of most people...lol
Big Ups to any Erasmus Hall Alumni. I love seeing that Special Ed was performing in front of our school, and I just now realized that part of the video was filmed at The Brooklyn Library on Empire Blvd. Flatbush, Brooklyn, in the 90s was EVERYTHANG.
I'm surprised that you haven't listened to Self Destruction - Stop The Violence Movement or Going Way Back - Just Ice. It's beautiful seeing the younger generation appreciate the creativity and dexterity of the Golden Era of Hip Hop. Every artist had their own swag and neither sounded the same.
I think I was the one who requested it....yo I enjoy watching you react to real hip hop bro...keep doin you. Oh yeah! You gotta check out ONYX "THROW YA GUNZ"
Edward K. Archer (born May 16, 1972), known professionally as Special Ed, is an American rapper and producer. Ed is perhaps best known for the songs "I Got It Made", "Think About It" and "I'm the Magnificent" from his debut album Youngest in Charge, released in 1989 when he was 17 years old.
❤ this one from Special Ed🎉 Taking me back, B. (A 504 plan is NOT special education; however, someone who receives Special Education/IEP support may also have a 504 plan.)
Alright. Been waiting for this. Young man - straight up classic hip-hop reactions. The soundtrack of my mis-spent youth. SO SO much to hear. EPMD "So What Cha Sayin'". Looking forward to it. As others have said ... this whole (Special Ed) album - classic material. You couldn't keep up with HOW MUCH stuff was coming out non-stop for a good 7-8 years. It was unbelievable. I might actually own a home if i didn't spend all my money on records.
Special Ed: THINK ABOUT IT, THE MISSION, I'M THE MAGNIFICENT.
Oh yeah the magnificent
Definitely need to check out “I’m the Magnificent”
Yes, Think about it woke me out my sleep. That joint it so hard.

We actually attended the same high school. Erasmus Hall shown throughout the video. And I actually ran into him on the streets, blocks from the school. My cousin actually got his autograph. Lol

Yeah, man, he's ready for the "big time!"
He needs his own TV talk show!
✌️😎☠️💀
🤣🤣🤣
Top 10 New York song of all time to me. Absolutely love this song
he said "like" a truck.... An analogy about his words and his style are so good they "leave you dead in the street"
It's called metaphors, and he wasn't asking for an explanation of the line, lol... Boogie asking, if the action is considered manslaughter.
Poor righteous teacher rock this funky joint
Special Ed album was called the youngest in charge.. he was 16 yrs old. Wrote his own rapps
Big difference from the way 16 year olds rap today..
Boogie u didn't catch this line..
"Think... Just blink ....an I make a million rhymes .
Think about it.. if u blink a million times... Dam I be paid... I got it made.."
Mature Thought provoking rap from a 16 year old.. ignorance got no recognition like it gets today.
One of the top rappers back in the 90's 🔥
“Special Ed might be the greatest rapper alive “ 😂😂😂 love it
😂 He’s on a journey 😇
Black Moon: I Gotcha Open…
One of my fav hip hop songs of all time. Check out Special Ed again on “I’m The Magnificent”🔥🔥🔥 “My hair was growin too long, so i got me a fade”
Special Ed was ahead of his time. I am so fortunate to have grown up on this.
Heavy D and the Boyz "Now That We Found Love"
Heavy d was a marshmallow. Come on man
Outkast so fresh so clean boogie you'll love it
When you said "wait ain't that manslaughter?" I swear I came out the chair lol that was great. Whoever is requesting these are on my level. Im loving it.
Special Ed- THINK ABOUT IT, I promise you, it’s probably the most creative rap video ever!!!!!!
At 7:15 the rhyme is similar to Rakin on "My melody" "...I'll take 7 MCs put 'em in a line, and add 7 more bros who think they can rhyme, well it'll take 7 more before I go for mine, now that's 21 MCs ate up at the same time"! Great reaction as always!!
Special Ed must be a billonair, with his 74 Honda scooters! 😸 "Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours" 🔥
Kwame "The Rythm"
🙏🏾💯
The Boy Genius. The Rhythm and Ownlee Eue.
Hah. I was literally just thinking that I heard I Got It Made and The Rhythm around the same time.
Kwame was good. Special ed was definitely better!
@@davidgriffiths6814
Kwame was also a producer and still is to this day…
@ indeed. I didn’t mean to undermine Kwamé’s talents. He was indeed a Boy Genius and I loved The Rhythm when I heard it!
Special Ed was one of the first teen rappers behind LL Cool J, Roxanne Shante, & Big Daddy Kane. This song was written when he was 15 years old and released a year later at 16.
Most of them was teens at that time Rakim was a teen Biz Markie ...ect
@ No Biz Markie was not a teen he was in his early 20’s. Rakim was late teens like 19 when he blew..

Changed from That to SEXY RED 😮
The best part is how he was bragging and this was his first single. No one had even heard of him yet.. He even did a few interviews from his bedroom that was smaller than some prison cells. He only had a twin bed and a turntable and was living with him mom. That's just how hip-hop has always been.. fake it til you make it.

Aye Boog, probably not common knowledge but Ed was only 16-17 on this track and used his high school and his classmates in this video
Checkout SugarHill by AZ. Keep doing your thing young Fella!

Don't forget, this was way before Rappers where punching in to record a 1:30 song. It Took Skills to be a MC back then.
Like KRS-One said “…4 minutes and some seconds…” No hooks. Just bars!
Alright. Been waiting for this. Young man - straight up classic hip-hop reactions. The soundtrack of my mis-spent youth. SO SO much to hear. EPMD "So What Cha Sayin'".
