"I don't think the world can course correct." What a great line! Loved these guys since they came. Saw them live a few times. It sucks to hear that they had such a falling out.
i remember trying to decipher these lyrics, by writing in a notebook, and it amazes me that i still find new meaning in their lyrics. pete is on A&E hip hop treasures, i recommend you check that show. serch is still around, but got caught numerous times playing himself, by telling fibs. i still got love for him though. 3rd Bass is hip hop's biggest what if--their production techniques and lyrics upped the ante for mc's til this day. peace
They tried having beef with the Beastie Boys and diss them on “Sons of 3rd Bass”. Beastie Boys came back with MCA dissing them on “Professor Booty”. They are also famous for dissing MC Hammer on “Gas Face” No diss track from Hammer instead he just threatened to KILL them. Lol.
3rd Bass looked up to the Beastie Boys then they had a fall out after a meeting at Mike D’s place when for no reason Mike D starting throwing random stuff at MC Serch when he was leaving and more stuff from out the window as he left.
They originally wrote this tune intended for Eric B & Rakim, but Rakim reportedly had issues with it, rejected it. So these guys finally settled on doing it themselves, which obviously worked out for the better.
This was my jam when I was in high school at the time. I’m really glad that music from my era translates as well as it does to Gen Z and potentially future generations. Thanks for giving this song a listen!
Speaking of the past, back then, we partied.....I mean partied, you had to be able to dance back then, or you got clowned. If you fought in the party, the party threw yo ass out, we were not trying to get the cops involved at all. We came up with variety when it came to rap, not that today's music is bad, but it doesn't have the originality, it was competitive, you got caught doing what another MC did, you had to see each other, biting (what copying somebody else's style and gimmick was called then) was a giant no-no. Those days were fun because not everything was everybody's business, people didn't post everything, and if you fought, unless it was extreme circumstances, nobody got killed.
i’m gonna keep saying someone do the video for prodct of the environment under all your videos look there it is in the top corner at the end of this video- again
It's amazing how my generation failed the younger generation with passing our music over to them like our parents did. Always amazed me when this generation finds out there were white rappers & hip hop/metal did music together. Not sure if they know 2 live crew & 1 of their members(fresh kid ice) is part Chinese. Wonder if they know snow. Or black rock/punk/ska bands like living colour, bad brains or fishbone
The whole Cactus Album is fire.
Yes it is! I had this on cassette when I was 12 and listened to it over and over. I have the whole album memorized
Both albums are, really.
#Facts 🥰🐰
I still have my cassette tape somewhere in my attic
3rd Bass never made a wack song.
These dudes we're killin it, back in a days, I was wit it, no doubt....
Pete nice is now the curator of the hip hop museum and MC Search is a executive industry
This was hip hop!! The culture was important more than the money. This (cactus) album is one of the most subversive albums in hip hop history.
I'm old I remember when 3rd bass came out

Hank Shocklee production... word...
3rd Bass song is Words of Wisdom
MC Serch went solo and his album is great. The big single was Back to the Grill, featuring a very young Nas. You have to watch the video next.
Have you done Gas Face by 3rd bass yet? Another classic from them. Also, check out Young Black Teenagers - Tap the bottle
Yea he did
3rd Bass was so fucking dope.
Product of the Environment! Vudeo Marly Marl remix
This whole album is great! You should check out Wordz of Wizdom from this album. It’s fire! 🔥

They sampled the Beastie Boys on this track tho

You know what we need to bring back from the late 80s? The dancing 🤣
As an Italian American from Queens NYC 47 years old we have ALWAYS been in the game here in rhe Mecca NYC rap was not a black thing it was a rap thing
Love you!!!! You are discovering the good Hip Hop.
In the record industry
Сколько же жизни в этих парнях. Почему сейчас все словно умирают и не могут нормально произнести слова. Только бормочут себе под нос.

Dope Bass was dope.
At 7:24 in this video, it looks like a cover of a Beastie Boys 12 inch record on the guy's head.
Lot of samples and looping. Back then
MF Doom is here when he was still with KMD as Zev Love X.

Unfortunately, creative differences got in the way of these guys going forward
