Yo you know what I respect so much about your interviews??? You learn so much from them. I wish I can come to an episode. What you got going on is special for Hip Hop. You and Nore have excelled so far.
@@ducatarina u named some great 1s and Erick Sermon is a contemporary of most of them. 1 thing, I think u didn’t consider when u began naming names is that Erick Sermon was the primary producer for multiple artists LPs. He did entire classic LPs for EPMD, Redman and Keith Murray, and he was high in demand by other popular emcees and r&b acts in the 90’s. There’s a few of those cats u named, like Johnny J and Easy Mo Bee who r great producers but they really only made multiple 1 offs with a few great artists, like 2Pac and BIG. When u consider the volume of great music Erick Sermon has made in comparison to some of the other cats, it’s not a stretch at all to say he’s a top 10 hip hop producer ever. I’m betting u his contemporaries like Dre, Primo, Pete Rock, Q-Tip and Large Professor would agree.
I’m 37 and I got on EPMD “late” but I was 13 in 1999 and I heard Symphony feat. MOP and the remix with Red & Meth. Then I got their whole catalog and I listen to Headbangers and Rampage almost everyday! To me, Parrish, LL and KRS are the definition of HIP-HOP
Hopefully Nas King's Disease/Magic run puts a dent in that way of thinking and more legends come back.....but take it seriously. Don't try to compete with the youngins just be true to yourself.
E you should continue making music, there is a market for you always. You always was nice on the Mic! I was a young teen when Headbanger dropped, we all loved it, being young listening to your music. I lived in Brentwood, I remember cars bumping your songs the way it would capture the entire town. It’s hard to explain an experience like that, I would call it lucky.
I met Erick a long time ago. This dude from my hood, his uncle ran a catering business and they'd cater from B-Movies, soap operas to all types of music videos. The video was Bombdiggy. Red, Meth, I think Aaron Hall (and few other can't remember them all, a lot of cameos in that video) were there all them were cool. They ate with catering crew and the 'regulars' on the set... now Keith Murray... Boi was wildin' out. One of my homes who was with us was getting sigs (autographs) from all them guys on a paper plate and when he got Murray's back it was covered with blood from his hand. Bro was sweaty and talking about he had to handed some dude out back or out front. Real fidgety dude, couldn't keep still for 💩, constantly moving around like something was off with him.
Biggest revelation here was Headbanger was supposed to be for Ice Cube 🤯 shit would have been so hard. Redman wrecked it regardless but the thought of 1992 Cube on that beat is crazy as fuck!
This is the best session I have seen yall do and I believe the reason we put old-school on our Great Musicians is Respect...And They (music industry outside rap) Don't respect the music or the people performing they don't want it to exist . ..
It's the industry not the culture😢we are not allowed to earn from our contributions we are at war , stop blaming us and fight with us😢they pay for violence rap instead of positive lesson , we need to continue hip hop underground and attend the events and pay😢❤
@@onehitterquitter2130 it's a culture not just music. It's just the art, music, girls, fashion etc... It's the power of bringing people together. Now how the mood is that day is how the event will turn out. Hip Hop ain't always been pretty but it's a reflection of life or was. 🤷🏾♂️💯
I grew up in the 90s but my older brother used to play EPMD and they were my favorite group. I followed Erics career because i started djing and man hes dope af. Beats are fire but his wordplay and delivery is underrated. Hes a MC frfr
Eric Sermon, One of Gods Children, will lay ya ass out. Highly slept on lyricist in the game Golden Era and now. The template for Biggie (thats how we saw it out West). This been a Masterclass. MEO is curating hip-hop history in real time Salute🥃 E Double, when the EPMD movie coming out? Gen X needs that.
I’m 36 from Louisiana and I remember “Music” like it was yesterday… I was in the 8th grade going to summer school and my mother had to take me to school when I said it was like clockwork that song was playing EVERY TIME when we got in the car for the whole summer…I heard that song a least 5 times a day
Grew up listening to EPMD! The beats and flow was NIIICE to bump (pause) and I'm from the Great Northwest #SEATTLE206 THIS MAN & PARRISH ARE LEGENDS!!! SHOUT OUT TO MATH & MR.MECC, CHAMP, GAT MUIRDAH
I have always viewed Eric Sermon is a Dope MC & He produces some Dope Music. I really enjoy E double tell his hip hop stories He is a hip hop legend to me.
Sermon is hip hop royalty for all his skillz. His word play is top tier, his beats are top tier. His name should be always mentioned when talking top lyricists. 💯
I agree with E how we the only music genre that calls us old head like Ninjas can’t spit anymore. Nas 50 Jay is 53 God did Benny is going on 40 westside Gunn 41 Rakim is 56 and is selling out arenas and clubs. I seen him in the Worcester Centrum 37,750 seats headlining sold out. Eminem is 51. And all of them are better than anything out!
i appreciate the music, i remember a verse that goes " i am Erick, i am the you suppose to pick" or something like that. that is real on all bases for me.
The reason why “people’” put an age limit on hip hop is because it’s generally “young people’s” music. The culture, the dancing, the topics people rap about, the dress code all of it is stuff the younger generation does. I don’t agree with it but that’s what it is. Not to mention the record company executives don’t see a profit in older, mature, positive rapping artists.
Radio needs to celebrate the Foundation and its contributors, on regular rotation, very regular rotation. I always say what E said about Foundation Hip Hop artists not getting the same love as a Bruce Springfield or even a James Ingram, or damn even the same love that Super Cat gets. Cause in reggae culture we celebrate our Foundation artists and give them flowers by the minute. Juice Crew and BDP should be doing Wembly numbers right now come on.
Dang....so much respect for the green eyed bandit...I been f**king with him since strictly business...and crossover is one of my fav EPMD joints...and it's so relevant to today's MC...they all crossed over...they all chasing that pop money

I'm a repost your song math let's work #virovizion x #rareraphq
That intro bothers me... it sounds like your saying "Side A", when her name is pronounced "SHA-DAY".....oh well...Dope song though!!!🫡
Not sure about the thumbnails Math. Nonetheless Respect to your team for trying a ting.
Yo Math these thumbnails are cheesy these are free off of canvas u making it look crazy
Yo you know what I respect so much about your interviews??? You learn so much from them. I wish I can come to an episode. What you got going on is special for Hip Hop. You and Nore have excelled so far.
I always say “music” was the best used Marvin Gaye sample ever in hip hop. Sounded like Marvin was in the studio with him.
Don't forget 50 and G-Unit with 'I wanna get to know ya'! Marvin's 'Come Live With Me Angel'!
Jay Z had a nice Marvin sample on American Gangster.
💯💯💯
Outstanding tribute. Definitely stood the test of time. Great comment.
American dreamin best sample
This show is for hip hop connoisseurs. Legendary tales from back in the day. Great stuff.
Keep on winning Math.
I could listen to E talk all day. Stories on stories, love hearing from the legends! Thanks for locking this down and dropping it, Math!
👍🙏🏾

Absolutely. Great comment.

Preach 🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣
Naw. Not too many Nas. He different
Dude has always been dope on the mic 🎤 and on the beat 🪘.
Pause 😅😅
I'll say from 'Business As Usual' onward. Parrish was actually the nicer one on those first 2 albums.
We are own hindrance no debating. Eric dropping that wisdom.

Right
Enjoy listening to ALL E's stories & facts! From my era! Great interview, thanks, Math! Salute you guys and the whole team!
my era too
Top comment. I guess we're showing how much older we all are now.
The respect that real emcees have for Eminem is refreshing. He gets so much hate from people who don't know hip-hop.
Facts.
Word
Naw
So true He's the GOAT.
He's a great rapper. Far from the GOAT
Eric is one of the best producers of all time

Can’t wait to watch the whole ting (interview)! That’s Mr. Sermon to y’all✊🏾
Biggest revelation here was Headbanger was supposed to be for Ice Cube 🤯 shit would have been so hard. Redman wrecked it regardless but the thought of 1992 Cube on that beat is crazy as fuck!
They should've did a remix with Ice Cube on it...
The Green Eyed Bandit is the east coast funk specialist.
Dam, Erick Sermon was originally going to give Ice Cube the" Head Banger" beat, wow.
Mr. Lawnge was about to give The Choice Is Yours (revisited) beat to Chi Ali.
WE NEED PREEMO MATH!!🤷♂️ LOL..dope e sermon interview🔥🔥

Its pathedic we cater to a culture that eventually turns against its own.
Wasn't always like that.

I love hearing these stories from the OGs
Everytime a Hip-Hop legend drops on here, I’m like: “ I’m still playing their music”
Hope you all doing the same, Imma always keep this Hip-Hop alive.
You already know!
Great comment.
@@prof3ssor178No doubt.
That "EPMD" song with Nas and MM is DOOOOOOOPE!!!! Kings Disease!! And the REMIX!!
Each interview gets better. Rizza still #1. Erick's stories r Crazy 🎉

That’s why that man is in my top 5 producers
The green eyed bandit my dudes!! Been rocking EPMD since It’s my thing!!! 🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️
Wow 🤯 “Headbanger” was for Ice Cube?!?!
Crazy…that would’ve been wild but I’m glad EPMD kept it
Yeahh I'm picturing Cube going crazy on that beat
@@mightynas1457yeah man that was Cube in his prime as well. Cube would have bodied it

He ain't like Cross Over ?! That was one of the Meanest baselines ever he did hands down 💯
I didn't like it at first, either... it grew on me after awhile.
That rhyme was fire!
E Dub drops bomb facts on this one!!! Legendary brother!!! ❤️❤️❤️
"Music" is my favorite Eric Sermon joint, period. It IS a classic.✊🏾
Sermon is hip hop royalty for all his skillz. His word play is top tier, his beats are top tier. His name should be always mentioned when talking top lyricists. 💯
Drop the whole thing already, fam!! 😂
