Sad to think they never got along but just did their thing as they had following. The dream would have been that they vibed together and loved to work.
Hip Hop 1988: Eric B & Rakim, EPMD, Public Enemy, Ultramagnetic MC's, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, BDP, NWA, Ice T, Jungle Brothers, MC Lyte, Biz Markie, Too $hort, Stetsasonic, Rhyme Syndicate, Def IV, Salt & Pepa, Kid & Play, Chubb Rock, 2 Live Crew, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, Whodini.... We had all the flavor.
Much love to PMD and keeping the legend and vibe of the "Golden Era" alive. You and E the Green-Eyed Bandit were the FUNK truth. Before "Frampton Comes Alive" and his talk box. Joe Perry of Aerosmith was one of the first on "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" Live.Both 1975 or 76.Of course Stevie Wonder. EPMD was the realest from the East to incorporate Funk.Keep Grinding
Before Peter frampton ,Stevie Wonder used the talk box in like '72 on his album then when he wrote for Rufus in'74. But it was used since like the '30s in blues etc. These guys frampton, wonder and Troutman are just the ones who made it famous.
Rampppppageeeee! Takes me back to my middle school, high school and university days in the late 90s in Toronto! Big ups to all my peeps from Milne Valley Middle School and Victoria Park Secondary School in the T.dot. You know how we do back in the day.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work just give them the credit and respect that they deserve a game changer for ever 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
me and my man live in brentwood ny. epmd brentwoods finest. we own every epmd album. still pumpin it 2018. this new gen kids. in rap is straight trash. we need that lyrical swag and finesse. we buy old skool rap hell yea to this day. epmd are true emcees. to tha' fullest.
GREAT UP TO EPMD. been a long time fan. Roller Skated, dance + d.j.ed your cuts. Seen you guys at the Varsity in M.P.L.S. Hope you come back in M.P.L.S. real soon. + Your youngen's there tight. Thank Parrish for puttin' them on'
Top 3 duos of all time. Our generation needs to get the top 7 producers, top 7 mcs, top 7 duos.....and lock em in a studio for a summer and see what we get. '87 - '97.
To the Break of Dawn.. LL starts the second verse getting at Hammer, then goes at EPMD with "cause I don't need a partner to swing", then gets back to Hammer with "Shut ur old mouth when young folks is talking"... Remember thinking he was getting at EPMD, but never knew it was true... I LOVE THIS SH!T #RIPBandanaP #RIPDickGregory
Me being 47 and going with my pop to Bk to see my cousins back in the 80's, it always amazed me how different the slang and the accents were in Now Y. I'm from Philly so we were only like an hour away but listening to the rap back then and being in Bk it was like you were on another planet. Then we took the A Train from Bed-Stuy (Throop and Fulton and that McDonald'sis still there!!) to Far Rockaway.....mannnnn. This was like 1988. I love New York! I haven't been back since I went to Tony Touch's Peacekeeper album release party. Shout out to him and all the rappers who showed me and Dj Touchtone mad love. Shout out to EPMD!
(Back in 1990) My 13 yr old mind did not pick up the fact that LL got at them on the Break of Dawn! I picked up Kool Moe Dee, Ice Tee and Hammer...not EPMD! Lol
Jay SouthPhil You stole my thunder, i was thinking the same you were, i was 18 at the time and really didn't comprehend lyrics or the true meaning behind most of them until i was older, disses weren't really subliminal in the golden age era, if you dissed someone you called them by name and didn't take the jay-biggie sneak diss route, but the LL-epmd diss went straight over my head. I thought till the break of dawn was only aimed at my boy ice t.
Salute to Strong island legends Epmd and RJ the realest and John Jiggs they are fiyah too look foward to the new album and salute to Sway and Heather B .,....
I don't care what anyone says...the best came out of Long Island...otherwise known as Strong Island. Do your homework! Long Island started so much shit in the game that it doesn't even get credit for. Even the artists that don't claim Long Island but are from Long Island be creative as fuck! Y'all gonna respect Long Island one or another...style robbing muthafuckas!!!!!!
no doubt and I strongly agree with you however.... Queens has some of the best to ever do it as well so much history comes out of Queens...but you are definitely correct about Long Island
Glad to know that they're all cool... I always thought that ll dissed them on rampage.... That is a great song.... ll went off...but everyone was great on that song... first heard them when I was in the army back in 89.. fort story VA beach, thanks to my roommate ... Great music..ty epmd
yo these cats could be something special as a duo. trading 4's and 8's. if they could develop a real tag team, on some double trouble, that would have a real impact. there's millions of good solo rappers, but not too many serious duos these days. stronger as a team
I'm from Haiti so 80's Hip hop was the real musics so dope EPMD,RUN DMC, DE LA SOUL,A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, RAKIM, BIG DADDY, LL COOL J..... much respect from Haiti to y'all 👊❤👊❤👊❤👊❤👊
Jiggs caught his rhythm on his second go-round and completely spazzed. The kid RJ has bars. It's good to see hungry young rappers with lyrical content.
Why everytime Sway asks "do you have a question for *instert guest name*?" NO ONE EVER HAS A QUESTION??? Lmao nothing wrong with showing love but it's just funny...
EPMD one my all time favorite Rap duo ever!🎤🎙
Seriously 🔥❤️💯
One of the greatest hip hop groups of all times. EPMD much love and respect.
Sad to think they never got along but just did their thing as they had following. The dream would have been that they vibed together and loved to work.
Parrish said, "LL will get you on ya own song....LOVELY!" 😂😂
39 yrs old & watching this interview (both parts) like 😁😁😁.

I love it when Sway has these LEGENDS on the show!
Much love to PMD and keeping the legend and vibe of the "Golden Era" alive. You and E the Green-Eyed Bandit were the FUNK truth. Before "Frampton Comes Alive" and his talk box.

I don't think people realize how much talent came out of Long Island; P.E ., Rakim, EPMD, Biz Markie, Craig Mack 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Seen EPMD in Philly last year at the TLA, with Styles P opening up for them. Classic shit, dope show. 30 years later, they still killin shit!
Ha! Parrish confirms that LL was in the "Rampage" video.
He wasn’t! That was a LL Cool J lookalike with the hat 🎩😂
@@91Definite Then that was the greatest lookalike ever.
im a STRAIGHT UP EPMD FAN!!!! BOTH MC'S HAS NO COMPARISON, BOTH ARE DOPE ARTISTS!!!!
Both these MCs at the end 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Before Peter frampton ,Stevie Wonder used the talk box in like '72 on his album then when he wrote for Rufus in'74. But it was used since like the '30s in blues etc. These guys frampton, wonder and Troutman are just the ones who made it famous.
..Troutman took it to a crazy level...Showcasing it as a lead vocal with complex arrangements and enunciation clarity...
Matt Jones no doubt
J. Curry Movin Weight cool facts
Makesi Lopez thanks Fam! As sway mentioned earlier knowing the history of hip-hop if you really love it is important I'm paraphrasing
really since the 30's
Ruff rugged and raw true hip hop at it's purest form salute my brotha Parish Smith and the whole EPMD hit squad word up ✊💯
Who in the hell thumbs down this shit is outta there minds
Rampppppageeeee! Takes me back to my middle school, high school and university days in the late 90s in Toronto! Big ups to all my peeps from Milne Valley Middle School and Victoria Park Secondary School in the T.dot. You know how we do back in the day.
Listen I'm from the D and I tell you growing during that strictly business album was everything
EPMD can't be ..without DJ Scratch... Hell no
Definitely like Salt N Pepa without Spinderella
John Jiggs & RJ sound like as if they one of them ole school classic rappers of the 80s and 90s. Respect!
Those two EMCEEES, bodied it!
Slow flow Mic Doc...Golden voice....the P....one of my all time favorites of all time.....i been a fan since its my Thing......
Dropping so much knowledge... pure dopeness....real hip-hop forever...

jonnycatbxny1849 _ LL was a beast! Damn I missed those days.
Damn..all these years I never peeped the subliminal shots towards EPMD in 'To the Break of Dawn'.
Back to the discussion of Peter Frampton's Voice Box, it was used on the song "Show Me The Way".
So cool that e and p were interacting with rakim back in the days legendary
Rj the Realest and John Jiggs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rampage was a classic hip hop song.
Can you imagine if those two did a cipher over the same beat but add Redman, Craig G and Mc Juice ?
EPMD. My first cassette I bought with my own money! 🤣
EPMD real hip hop! Sway did a great interview with Parrish Smith. Those two new artist he signed can spit.
AUTHENTIC HIP HOP LEGEND PMD

Classic interview! 2021
Favorite rap group of all time nuff said
LL is a G.O.A.T. He has bodied some MC's.
Yeah?like who? Don’t even say canibus or kool moe dee 😂
Can’t wait for the EPMD movie 🍿
I don't care what anyone says...the best came out of Long Island...otherwise known as Strong Island. Do your homework! Long Island started so much shit in the game that it doesn't even get credit for. Even the artists that don't claim Long Island but are from Long Island be creative as fuck! Y'all gonna respect Long Island one or another...style robbing muthafuckas!!!!!!
Barbara Butler no doubt Long Island got a lot of history!
Sure does. Think Rakim, Public Enemy, De La Soul, EPMD, even Prodigy was from L.I. Too many to name.
no doubt and I strongly agree with you however.... Queens has some of the best to ever do it as well so much history comes out of Queens...but you are definitely correct about Long Island
EPMD is a big part of my early high school days, love that real hardcore hip hop.
First, Today, To Sway's Universe, Thanks Shade.
Them young thundercats are fire!!!!
Damn I never caught that LL diss on breakadawn
Mad love for epmd and all the artist they put on

He was and still is the microphone 🎤🎙️ doctor 💊.
The 2 emcees Pmd, bought on are nice fire!!!!
Classic music never get old
Will surely buy this
The Frampton song was "Do You Feel Like I Do"
yo these cats could be something special as a duo. trading 4's and 8's. if they could develop a real tag team, on some double trouble, that would have a real impact. there's millions of good solo rappers, but not too many serious duos these days. stronger as a team
EPMD 4 LIFE...Hitsquad!
Damn LL didn't know he was that slick. Kinda wondered those few bars was aimed at didn't sound like all Hammer
MrKenny I thought he was just going at Moe Dee some more. Figured the sheriff part was talking about the "Wild Wild West" video.
Mc Hammer, Ice T and EMPD
MrKenny same here!!! 😂😂😂
THE SONG BY PETER FRAMPTON IS DO YOU FEEL LIKE I DO HOW COULD YOU FORGET THAT SWAY hahaha
Pretty dope that pmd built a late 60s camaro with a 350 i never knew that he was a car guy
As many times as I heard that song I didn't know he went at epmd I thought it was just moe-D ,hammer , and ice-T
I'm from Haiti so 80's Hip hop was the real musics so dope EPMD,RUN DMC, DE LA SOUL,A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, RAKIM, BIG DADDY, LL COOL J..... much respect from Haiti to y'all 👊❤👊❤👊❤👊❤👊
Legends. ...!!!
Dope I of my favorite group
EPMD.. One of my favorite duos of All time
damn man, did not know LL was bustin' on EPMD on them tracks.
Jiggs caught his rhythm on his second go-round and completely spazzed. The kid RJ has bars. It's good to see hungry young rappers with lyrical content.
jeff beck,stevie wonder,peter phrampton used vocder alot in 1971's prob the first popular artist to use it.
Parish could spit the illest shit early!!!!!
Yup scratch bring it back ? Parish bodied the end of the song when the beat changed.
Strong Island 🎤🔥
Really Stevie wonder started that auto time sound
yup yup I'm in my city this sunday rockin the 313
Why everytime Sway asks "do you have a question for *instert guest name*?" NO ONE EVER HAS A QUESTION??? Lmao nothing wrong with showing love but it's just funny...
