THE GOD MC 🎤
“Is he our boy?” 😂😂😂😂 LL had niggas questions they friendships 🐐
😂😂😂😂
I promise man, listening to E Sermon is like staying up for a late night mix show. This is CLASSIC. To grow up in that area while the artists were moving and shaking! AMAZING!
Word on that money
Edub was that producer that had you boppin'. One of the greats!
Rakim made everyone change their cadence AND their style. It went from party raps to battle raps. From Flash and Melle Mel to Run DMC, LL, and Kurtis Blow, and then to Rakim [almost everyone after him was rapping like him or trying to be more serious like him with some exceptions]. Every phase of that evolutionary tree had a different style, different dress, different demeanor. These younger rappers (some of them) are so far away from the essence of rap and Hip Hop that they almost seem like aliens, like they have none of the original Hip Hop DNA in them. Eric Sermon is a legend. Glad to hear him speak the truth about his part and what he observed.
Hate it when people knock the young generation. Let them have their thing. You and people like you are not hip hop gate keepers. You don’t decide what they like. So just enjoy the old school and let these kids do their thing.
@@ChillydontCapsit and listen 😂
The young generation is SUPER TRASH! Their genre should be called CRAP music.
Don't forget
Kool Moe Dee
The Fantastic Five
&
The Cold Crush Brothers
@@ChillydontCap
It is what it is when the Young generation learn to respect the elders then they will get their respect
In
The Future
These types of conversations only a true HIP-HOP purist can appreciate. No guns, beef, and a whole heap of tough tony talk just pure unadulterated true LOVE IN HIP-HOP for REAL. Salute to my boy E DUB and Math and The Squad for this offering.
Love this shit.
Exactly no coming to the interview high with a weapon or rolling weed just grown men chopping it up.
Bro these stories are classic gems 💎 keep it up Math🔥🔥
LL's verse on Rampage is one of my favorite guest verses to this day. That was the first case I remember of a rapper getting bodied on their own song.
I GOT RHYMES UP THE UUUUHHHH.. FORGET IT IM CONSTIPATED... slow down baby.
“Here’s your chance to advance/ get in ya stance/ I’ll shoot the holster off your cowboy pants!”
Word life! L went in. His flow was crazy. The thing about it, L kinda fell off at that point. It was after the Panther album and all these new school rappers had come out by 90. Also why Ls first line on Mama Said was “don’t call it a come back”. He really fell off in the streets, but that Rampage verse was the first shot.
@@willdieselpower Facts! Rampage and linking up with Marley Marl both lit that fire under him and made him hungry again. Then we got Mama Said Knock you out which was a classic (and my favorite rap album to this day).
@@misterelomit's not facts because LL released moma said knock you out in 1990 and EPMD released rampage in 1991.
Math you've got to get Bumby Knuckles on the show.
Freddy foxx yes sir!!!
Hell yes!! That would be EPIC!!!!
Bumpy would be crazy or Kool g rap
He would have some great stories
Please do!!
LL merked all competition,true G.O.A.T.
Loving this interview, Eric Sermon is a good listen from beats to rhymes to interviews 💯
I’ve said it many, many times, there is before Rakim and there is after Rakim. He’s the one MC that changed the art of rap the most-the art form not the business of rap, two very different things.
Rakim is THE line in rap history where everything changes and that’s why he’s the real G.O.A.T.
#peace wow; I just wrote this:
LL is the Liaison-Bridge🐐 between Before & After of "god-emceez"
Before:
Kurt
Moe-Dee
Caz
Mel
After:
G-Rap
Kane
KRS1
Rakim
Fa Sho! Their was a seismic shift when Rakim came out with his rhyme style with rhyming across the measure, internal couplets, and everything else. There were a lot of MCs tossing their notepads in the garbage can and starting all over. 😂
That monotone delivery is so revolutionary at the time,but people forgot that Shan brought that style about a year before Ra did
@@stephenheath8465with which trak?
@@pay_it_forward_franklin4469Marley Scratch.
I could listen to Eric Sermon talk all day...stories we never knew we needed to hear
💯💯💯
No lie, these Drops wit E are fire!! Best I've seen on MEO
When people don't recognize the impact of Rakim I chalk it up to not being there.
Damn! What a true, loaded statement! Well said.
Real story, back in days of Ll and Rakim, Ll headlined all there shows together. Rahim is even recorded saying LL wininng.....I was born in 66 Bro.
LL Cool J is the true G.O.A.T.
his lyrics are NOWHERE near Rakim...sorry
@@bufflowsouljah2256...R destroys L..
It's between LL, Big Daddy and Rakim for THEE G.O.A.T.! LL and Big daddy are still out there killin it while Rakim seems like he's lost the energy. We all get old.
@@martinleon3145LL Cool J is better than Rakim. Look at LL Cool J status today and look at Rakim! I don't know why people be hating on LL Cool J, especially when he came out with the word goat first! Plus LL was able to rap in his era Rakim era and another era! Rakim mostly shined in one era.
@@bufflowsouljah2256People be giving Rakim too much credit he cannot touch LL Cool J LL! Cool J is in a class by himself!
That LL GOAT album was dope too!
"The ripper,the master,the overlordion...."
i love that my man’s started spitting the verse mid interview… dope moment. i love this HIPHOP shit ❤
These Eric Sermon interviews are everything! 🔥🔥🔥
I always enjoy listening to Erick stories, that's my brentwood boy
Brentwood class of 87, what up E
A silent night is a holy night 🤔fight for what’s right hypocrisy stand tall for all 🙏🏿you black you blessed we are the light the poor tour and star’s gifts galore 🦉♠️♾️
LL verse on rampage is one of my top 5 all time verses.
Erick Sermon has always been one of my favourites 🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When Rakim was being played on the radio (Kiss FM and WBLS), even before Paid in Full came out, every time I heard him and Eric B. I sat up and took notice. No one sounded like that, did double and triple meanings like that. Every time I heard Eric B. For President, it just blew my mind. Then the album comes out, and its a straight up masterpiece. Rakim did the hip-hop equivalent of hitting a game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the 9thin his first big league at bat. Like everyone in the comments said, it was a seismic shift in hip-hop. I was only 17 when Paid in Full came out, and I was an hour away from the city up in Bridgeport, and even then I felt like hip-hop had gone up a level.
I’m from Miami, and we also felt it. I remember there was this older kid, who said he couldn’t understand RAKIM. It was at that very moment that I realized, that those who actually understood RAKIM were mentally superior to those that did not, or could not comprehend RAKIM. I still feel this to this day.
@@DonCatalogMusicmy sentiments exactly!!
P.S I grew up in Miami too, I first heard Rakim at Thomas Jefferson Jr. High
@@terminatorx6230 I went to Parkway middle then to Norland Sr. High.
Yo, memorized every verse from I ain't no joke! From rewinding video music box over 20 times..lol
LL is the Liaison-Bridge🐐 between Before & After of "god-emceez"
Before:
Kurt
Moe-Dee
Caz
Mel
After:
G-Rap
Kane
KRS1
Rakim
Smooth
Soon as Rakim came out, everything instantly sounded old. Same thing happened when Guy came out, atlantic starr, midnight starr and the whispers shit died that day.
You telling it homie. Imma say it like this: Around 85, 86 Run and them was fading but then outta nowhere .. I start hearing this brother with the cadence, the monotone delivery, the superb flow coming outta every car, every radio station- Not knowing at that moment, Hip-hop just changed. President had dropped and Rakim was that dude.
Wait, wait, wait!! Booooy, you Betta stop playing wit me!!! You hit that one on the nose!!!
You are 300% correct,, when Guy, Bobby Brown, Al.B.sure,& Keith Sweat came out R&b music became more hip hop driven, bass heavy, and very experimental with the grooves and melodies. Traditional R&B production from the 70s &.80s wasn't making the cut anymore 😂 New Jack Swing has now landed 💯
more erick sermon interview please
Eric Sherman: best Math Hoffa interview to date, and that's saying something.
Sherman 😂
Sermon.
...Example 1:
"Seven holes in my face as I'm looking out my window
Speak with the beat and it seems like the wind blows" from No Competition -Rakim
DAMN!!!!
His "Rampage" Verse🤯 Especially Over That Pete Rock Remix....
Yeah LL was dope but in all honesty Erick was the best on that track imo and my whole barber shop lmaooooooo
To me, Erick sounded the worst he ever did on Rampage. Shame he had to follow Parrish and LL.
The rhymes were good, just no energy in the delivery.
@@mrbuggz5213 Shout Out To Your Barbershop But Nah Yo I Think LL Owned That Track.... 😄 Much Respect....
@@sonofabeach71 Word! I Know He Was Known As Mister Slow Flow But Nahhhh Man He Could've Upped The Ante On "Rampage"....
Track is dope all over fellas but me and mines always loved E’s verse. Everyone was dope tho. All good to like any of the 3. That’s what makes great debates. Respect🫡
I love how down to earth E is and giving the God his propers as well. EPMD my all time favorite duo
Eric has a hip-hop voice, dude talks like he is spitting rhymes
"You and your squad better praise the real God"
Rakim definitely brought in a new regime of rappers. I remember still listening to run dmc and LL and my friend who had moved away came back around the way and played rakim for us , I was like wow. I started listening to him and Kane from that point on. And Lord finesse
This is so classic
LL vs Big Daddy Kane back then would have been crazy
Word.....
Ya forgot Biz Markie
and kane wouldve ate him
@@junyah1976 Facts I didn’t want to say it out loud lol
@@humblekingreloaded9389 lol
Erick Sermon inspired me as a rapper
❤️🔥❤️🔥
Uncle L was a problem. Him and PMD went at it on “Rampage.”
P was barking 🔥
No doubt!
I'm thinking back them pmd was going at kool moe dee n hammer for ll 😂
Yo im driving home listening to this interview an its good one ofcourse. Its the green eyed bandit so i know its gonna be 🔥.
But then, on the end Math got that banger🔥🔥🔥... sheez that ish made me pull over to find the whole track. Didn't know Math get it in like that
🤓 *correction:*
Eric said he sampled Ohio Players on “So Whatcha Sayin” but that 3rd sample he refers to was actually BT Express
BT Express "If It Don't Turn You On, You Oughta Leave It Alone"
@@derneillwashington3091 Yep. You are correct. Just did a joint-to-sample mix and that was one of them. If It don't turn you On to So Watcha Sayin. Eric really laid into that track.
And you thought we would FOLD... 30 days later the LP went gold
so what you sayin
@@KSoloLosoI was about to say "say about WHAT?" lol
I love how EPMD never fronted like they were from the hood!
“Straight from Boondocks aka the Suburbs “
Hip hop in the building EPMD I can't say no more 🙏💯👏💥💥🔥🔥this my favorite one Math watching them all
Great interview from a true legend who made and is still making history. Live great King!
I could literally watch these interviews all day. Good stuff.👍🏾
SERMON always been dope...Math please drop the intro song bro..got damn this been coming soon for months..respectfully put some new shit up to start the vids😂
This is very good interview. Erick has interesting stories
Bro these stories literally making my day. Great stuff
Ya'll gotta get PREEMO on the show!!!!!
Oh hell yeah
The E Double done Doubled literally. 😂 but his interviews always informative and entertaining 🫡
Man Eric is definitely the king of the "Back handed compliments" I've seen him in another interviews and really didn't notice it till now
Matt Hoffa you need these hip hop icons on your future show. 1. Krs one 2. Kool g rap 3. Cool j 4. Nas 5. Queen Latifah 6. Mc Lyte 7.ice cube 8. Too short 9. Scarface 10. Young jeezy make it happen my guy for hip hop fans
Niggas don’t understand how crazy Rakim was when he came out he literally changed everything….
Knowledge Born
50 years of hip-hip, Rakim is the GOD MC!
LL and Kool g rap had the same rap teacher silver fox L went crazy on rampage
Speak
Elaborate
@@MrPONCHO467 silver fox taught LL and Kool. Grap how to rap he was they teacher they get they style from him
@@TheBulletzgottishow20 yep I read that in a Wax Poetics article I think. But he was the man in Queens. He has a TH-cam video of his song on there. Search it.
Kudos to you knowing the history fam.... Fox is still making records.
Man I wish LL come on the show
Gibson l made list of 10 hip hop legends Matt Hoffa should book check it out. I mentioned ll cool j on list
All I know is I went on summer vacation in '86 and Dana Dane "nightmares" was it. I came back from the Isle of Grenada and it was all all about "Eric B for President."It felt like the whole world changed..🌍
Dopest interview ever on here 🎤
My expert Opinion. WORD!
“My career is over!” 😅 I love it! Rakim Allah! The greatest lyricist ever! ‘Nuff respect due!
We need Parish Smith next 👏🏿
It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you, without a dope rhyme to step to 😎
Yep he's right LL cool J the Goat and Rakim the God of Rap
Math your podcast is on fire for real keep up the GD content this Eric sermon interview taking me back to when I was a kid in BK listening to albums the GD old days
LL was NUTTN to play with.
Dissed EPMD on their own joint, Rampage (‘…here’s ya chance to advance, get in ya stance, I’ll shoot the holster off ya cowboy pants. Pure entertainment, tonight’s your arraignment, ya guilty, face down on the pavement. No holds barred, it’s time to get scarred, you and ya squad better praise the real God…’) He got BUSY on To Da Break A Dawn. He dissed, Hammer, Kool Moe Dee, Ice T AND EPMD (‘…All the wannabe sheriff’s is gettin shot down… gimme that microphone, I’ma show you the real meaning of the danger zone…’)
If you listen closely, it sounds like was really enjoying it too.. 😆😆
Love all the Ra flowers coming out of the first clips of interview.
The interview is Top Tier Classic stories of back in the days. Never knew parish & LL was going at each other on That rampage Son I just knew the song was dope af. The god Mc Rakim is some of my favorites rappers fav rapper.
Man i cant wait to see this in full
I like these stories MATH. Good work bro.
Once Paid and Full and Criminal Minded dropped Run DMC played out quickly
I’ve heard a few rappers say “when RAKIM came the game changed!”
Strictly Business was a classic my favorite EPMD album
If there was a "God MC" its Rakim fa sho.
So What you Sayin is one of my top 5! Yooo!
I love real history/ stories from the OG's!
This is the MAGNIFICENCE OF HIP HOP. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ORIGIMAL ERA. EPMD SET A HIGH BAR
DMC recognized “the change” was coming because THEY were responsible for “the change” previously when they dropped Sucker M.C.’S…they left the Furious Five, Treacherous Three and all them cats looking dated…instantly. When President/My Melody dropped…it was the same thing all over again. The God had people askin’, “why are them 🥷’s yelling?!?” Although Spoonie Gee was the first to come with that laid back flow…the R was on a completely different level lyrically.
Math Hoffa best one yet ... classic joint right here with one of my favorite MC Eric Sermon of EpMd breaking it all the way down🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You had to dissect those 80/90’s diss records to find out who the diss was for. Good ol days.
Eric's verse was the best on rampage... call him and tell him the hood said so. We all waited for THAT third verse.
It was a smooth Long Island cat from Wyndanche aka Crimedanch Strong Island NY that deaded the whole old school and like Eric Sermon said it was the God Mc Rakim . Them Long Island NY Boys had a chokehold on the Golden Era of Hip Hop with acts like EPMD Public Enemy Dela Souul Rakim K Solo Craig Mack Prodigy from Moob Deep Biz Markie Grand Daddy IU Method Man Keith Murray Freedie Foxx JVC Force Original Concept Prince Paul from Steasonic Doctor Dre from Yo MTV Raps Rick Rubin from Def Jam The Bomb Squad MF Doom Ra the Rugged Man A Plus Son of Berzerk Leaders of the New School Lil MO Ashanti Soul for Real and countless others. Them ghetto suburbs of Nassau and Suffolk County Long Island NY has spit out some serious Hip Hop icons .
SALUTE TO STRONG ISLAND
Meth is from Long Island?
@@kennyblackbird5674 from Hempstead Long Island he was on Drink Champs recently and he gave it up to his Long Island roots. Hempstead Long Island is his foundation . He grew up om 100 Terrace Ave the projects in Hempstead Long Island and on his first solo album he shouts our mad people from Hempstead as he calls it Pimpstead like Roc Marciano who is also from Strong Island
Man I been going thru Redman discography all day then come home 2 this ...E DUB DEF SQUAD HIP HOP ✌🏾
Rakim was like “Sip the Juice ……. “ and 2
minutes in I was like WHAT ?
Phenomenal
Word! He was next level on that shit
!dude this is sick. best stories!
That's is dope we need that this real stories brings us back en never killed the love for Hiphop. 🔥 🔥
This episode is so dope.
My era-late 80s early 90s. EPMD was one of my favorite groups of all time
I’m 38 but every time I talk to a OG over the age of 46 doesn’t matter if they from East coast or South or mid west . They all say that RAKiM changed hip hops sound for ever.
This a great interview
The music industry is cold!!! But the artist are so good you'd never know.
Rakim changed the way every MC rhymed. The God MC. Pay homage
Let's not exaggerate.
@@Mr.Taylor56 Exaggerate? Nah all facts if you know hip hop
@@malcomshabazz2809 Name them, I'll go back and listen to their befores and afters.
That's not what I'm saying. My point is the rappers who came before him had a simplistic rap style for example Kurtis Blow & Run DMC. But after Rakim, no MC sounded like Run DMC anymore. He changed the way the MC rhymes...you can hear his influence in Eric Sermon, Nas, Jay-z, Slick Rick, etc...to this day his influence is still heard. He is your favorite MC's favorite MC. That's why they all pay homage.
Kid hood is the first I heard in hip hop that called himself the greatest of all time-I bag up waste, electrifyin', I'm prime-time
I slaughter slime, I'm the greatest of all time-
But LL is the first I heard use the acronym G.O.A.T
Thank you Math. ✊🏾
Good interview s\o Erick sermon
Rakim had boys pressed!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Goosebumps!!!
Eric n Parrish makin dollars =epmd 100 so wat yu sayin 💯
Legend stories the green eye bandit❤
Y’all need Freddie Foxxx in the shop!
Mecca rapped that verse like his teacher made him do it 😂
Still remember the jeeps and trucks coming on the block blasting Epmd and k-solo joints.
Wow, never knew how Eric met Ra. I heard they met at the mall...haha.
