Jus Fadezz drive slow homey! THESE ARE NOT THE FOREFATHERS OF HIP HOP! These are the people who blazed the torch GOLDEN AFTER THEY GOT IT FROM THE THE FOREFATHERS: Grand Master Kaz, Melly Melle, KOOL MOE DEE, Kool Herc, Afrikka Bambatta, Grand Master Flash, Busy B, Luv Bug Starski and others whom I don’t even know the name WHO BLAZED THE TRAIL IN THE BRONX, AT THE FEVER, etc 1979 - 88. In the middle of those years RUN DMC SET THE SUPER STAR TONE WITH THEIR 3rd Album Raising Hell. And LLCOOLJ with his second album “Bigger & Degree”. Then 1987/1988 when KANE, G-RAP, KRSONE/BDP, ERIC B & RAKIM, BIZ MARKEE, PUBLIC ENEMY, NWA CAME THROUGH THE DOOR, that’s when HIP HOP STARTED TO CHANGE THE WORLD! But the 88ers ARE NOT FOREFATHERS!
Damn how time flies. This is a classic since it's debut and it gets better with time. BDK/KGR MAD LOVE RESPECT AND PROUD TO HAVE EXP THE DROP OF THIS TRACK AND GROWN OLD WITH YA.
Legendary Group! Much Respect to the Juice Crew. They all was nice. Marley was a Dope Producer needs to mention more often. he was one of the first to put in work.
Real talk I don't know how you could have a juice crew reunion without MC Shan being involved. He came up with great records like Jane , project ho , MC space , living in the world of hip-hop, kill that noise, Down By Law, she ran with another man and left me lonely, I pioneered this(which had a flow and format that inspired it ain't hard to tell by Nas), freedom, cocaine, words to my freestyle, juice crew laws(krs-1 diss record), etc. I mean the man was the lead man for the juice crew, he's not up on stage but yet still have Grand Daddy IU that's crazy.
And these young kids running around listing to today’s music and just don’t understand what this music did for kid from TX in the 80’s. THANK YOU GUYS for making a difference in 10a of millions of black children’s lives across America.
I was there also. THAT was a SUPERNOVA of a NIGHT FOR HIPHOP !!! To bare witness to GREATNESS from since the 80's....& STILL FIERCE WITH it....maaaan, listen........I NEEDED THAT, yo. Undeniable Timelessness.
Word. Like Sort of Like What Craig G Said, They Didn't Know How Big it Was Gonna Be in Years To Come, They Were Doin' What Came Natural To Them Not Really Thinkin' about it Bein' History in The Makin', Just Like Us Listeners, We Were Just Rockin' To The Song and Video. 💯 R.l.P. Grandaddy IU.
The moment I heard this back in 88 I was froze and I'm from the south but back then internationally east coast got all the recognition this was a instant classic
FYI: Mister Magic, M.C. Shan, Tragedy, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, Diamond Shell, Grand Daddy I.U., Glamorous weren't on "The Symphony" for various reasons. More were on Juice Crew Allstars.
MC Shan and Marley , was beefing during the making of the Marley Marl - In Control Album , Shan said : Marley don’t like to pay nobody and if he Dj for you , he likes to take all the Credit , So, when they were getting ready to record , he rolled out and went over this girls house to get busy
Thanks for that interview because back in the day magazines like Right on wasnt asking questions like that. They would just be on that pop shit asking Kane why did he only like light skinned chicks. Who cares I wanted to know what motivated them.
My 13 year old son who was born in 2004 plays this song on the regular and I was 17 when this joint came out so it definitely is a CLASSIC. All y'all that's 40 or 50 plus that got teenagers who listen to today's rap music, u ain't gonna understand why they like the majority of today's rap. I get it. I don't even like 80% of it but expose them to the shit we listened to in the 80's to bring a balance. U would b surprised how they react
LEGENDS.... THAT'S ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID.. ( Youngin's U should hope you have classic material that you can perform and GET PAID 30 yrs after your release)
@Stuart Dooley Point taken. However, if by "collective of artists" you mean a crew operating as a single impenetrable unit then you've made a salient point. Unfortunately, I don't think that was your point at all. Wu-tang's mission statement, from the beginning, was for EVERY member to eventually branch out and produce solo albums... The juice crew, which predated Wu-tang by 5-6 yrs, are the lone originators of that concept... The juice crew's business model remains to this day, the standard operating procedure for making money in the rap game... Prior to the juice crew's marvel superheroes approach to the rap game --- where each superhero has their own stand alone movie, "rap groups" were exactly that ---- unified groups (furious five, fantastic romantic five, cold crush, force mc's...), and NOT the "independent contractors masquerading as boy bands" that would become the standard for the industry, post juice crew... Having said all that, the juice crew's "the symphony" still remains to me, the finest collection of not just rap talent ever assembled---but remember, Marley marl is arguably the best beat maker of all time---to rock on a single joint, regardless of era...
@Stuart Dooley the juice crew was well into it's heyday when DITC got going...I know cause I'm from Patterson projects...rhyme inspector percy pee is my little bro's homie and I watched them literally grow up together...(though percy wasn't DITC) I basically raised AG from showbiz and AG(andre the giant), who are also DITC products... Ekim, diamond d, finesse (all forest projects cats) I know em all... In fact, I was present at that battle in Patterson between percy and finesse in '89... Remember, DITC indirectly produced fat joe, and big pun(whose rhyme style was heavily influenced by percy pee...) Now back to Wu-tang. They actually share a bond with each other that transcends arts and entertainment; they're all five percent... So of course, when compared to a loose juice crew type coalition there's really no comparison... Don't know if you're a new Yorker or not but either way no disrespect is meant. I'm talking about a bygone era that goes back before any other place was involved. Pre west coast. Pre south. Pre mid west. Even pre philly. When those other places were just starting to emerge, New York was well into experiencing its second golden age. Obviously as a Bronx cat I would know that, given the fact this thing of ours originated in our borough. But again, not to disparage you because you have stated facts regarding the juice crew's hierarchical pecking order, and they're not being as tight a family as Wu-tang was when Wu first arrived on the scene. But also, lest we not forget, that whole concept of bringing hip-hop music to the masses hadn't been refined and perfected yet--- which is largely why I had to annoint Marley TBE, cause remember there was virtually no blueprint before him. His musical influence on the greatest rappers ever (rakim, Kane, g rap and even to a lesser extent, nas) is gloriously indicative of his hegemony. AND, believe it or not, We are all still basically caught in his original matrix, whether knowingly or unknowingly. A matrix that was founded 35 plus yrs ago...
I know every single lyric to this Hall Of Fame Classic! Kool Kane's and yours for that matter..,,all fuck it all yall lyrics is unmatchable on that song.
SHANTE, I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH YOU. YOU WERE ROXANNE SHANTE IN 83-84. No one even knew who Marley Marl was until you. You would have killed the track. You came before all dem dudes..much respect to kane, Craig g, koo g etc but, YOU WAS BEFORE EVERYBODY PRETTY MUCH .YOU WOULD HAVE DOUBLE SOLIDIFIED FEMALE POWER IN HIP HOP. IT WAS THE BIGGEST SONG JUICE CREW EVER HAD

Shan was there and did perform that night. He just didn't participate in pre-show interviews.

A stage filled with greatness. Hip hop FOREVER!!!!!
One of the best collaborations early in rap
Just Gimme the Mic was in the Building. It was legendary for me to have them hold my mic and brand for this interview
Loved my childhood era of rap
Back when New York rappers loved and respected each other.
Legends of Hip Hop!! That song is still hot today!
And these young kids running around listing to today’s music and just don’t understand what this music did for kid from TX in the 80’s. THANK YOU GUYS for making a difference in 10a of millions of black children’s lives across America.
Easily one of thee best crews in Hip Hop history. The symphony still gets bumped in my car weather my kids like it or not.
The Juice Crew! Aww the memories! Nothing better than the baddest crew from the eighties! Nobody could touch them! :-)

Who remembers Craig G from the mixtape circuit back in the mid to early 90s always talk to her always always talked over songs
Look at these legends fam, paid the way for so many.
Wow i cant believe they was able to get all of them together in one place.
The moment I heard this back in 88 I was froze and I'm from the south but back then internationally east coast got all the recognition this was a instant classic
How you're going to have the legendary Juice Crew without MC Shan? Fuck outta here! #ThisGuyHere
Love this video shows how old gees sit back and remember the glory days
Understand Shan not being there but where Biz?
FYI: Mister Magic, M.C. Shan, Tragedy, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, Diamond Shell, Grand Daddy I.U., Glamorous weren't on "The Symphony" for various reasons. More were on Juice Crew Allstars.
The Symphony IS the best posse cut. Its what made me fall in love with rap
Very dope,but imagine if shante was on the symphony smh it would definitely been more fire.
No MC Shan??
He didn't participate in the pre-show interviews, but he performed that night.
Word has it that Shan had it in for Kane
MC Shan and Marley , was beefing during the making of the Marley Marl - In Control Album , Shan said : Marley don’t like to pay nobody and if he Dj for you , he likes to take all the Credit , So, when they were getting ready to record , he rolled out and went over this girls house to get busy
I loved me some Big Daddy Kane!
Thanks for that interview because back in the day magazines like Right on wasnt asking questions like that. They would just be on that pop shit asking Kane why did he only like light skinned chicks. Who cares I wanted to know what motivated them.
HOW GREAT THEY ARE TO HAVE GIVEN US GREAT ROCKN MEMORIES😎
My 13 year old son who was born in 2004 plays this song on the regular and I was 17 when this joint came out so it definitely is a CLASSIC. All y'all that's 40 or 50 plus that got teenagers who listen to today's rap music, u ain't gonna understand why they like the majority of today's rap. I get it.

The Symphony contains a sample of "Hard To Handle" as recorded by Otis Redding.
