Steve Loeb i agree hank n pe was on dre n nwa level back in 89-91 but thier names not really relavant today like kids today know dre but dont know hank or chuck
When I first heard that after Cube left NWA and then got with The Bomb Squad, I was very skeptical with what his subject matter was going to be. My mind was utterly blown when I heard Amerikka's Most Wanted. Still one of my favorite hip hop classic albums.
@@blazesimpson8830 Yes & No. Dre and Yella did follow much of the same format the Bomb Squad used as it pertains to sampling to create bangers for P.E. Thus, there's similarities with the instrumentation or breakbeats used on certain albums like Straight Outta Compton and Fear of A Black Planet. However, the Shockley Brothers and the Bomb Squad's technique was more or less an extension of what other producers before them like Marley Marl and DJ Pooh & Bobcat were already doing as far as incorporating multiple samples for one record at a time
Heard Cube left NWA at summer football practice in 1989; by time school was about to let out next year, we got this classic album. I knew the Bomb Squad produced it, but it was amazing that the tracks didn't have a Public Enemy feel, just like Hank was talking about. The only PE feel we got were those two cameos by Flav. #salute
Actually one of the best hip-hop albums. You are crazy puting only against west coast. That album is up there with illmatic, Jay Z reasonable doubts, Public Enemy albums, Taking paid and full.
I started listening to hip hop about 88-the Golden era. I was about 10 in 88-89. White kid who fell in love with hip hop, especially groups like PE, NWA, EPMD, etc. It incredible to hear Hank Shocklees take on the different regions sounds at the time in hip hop when they were making Anerikkas most. Ironically I just saw a video on Cube coming to NY to look for Sam Sever, who produced 3rd Bass Cactus album to produce his first album but the story was that he couldn’t find Sam Sever so he called up Def Jam for Bomb Squad. It must’ve been destiny because AMW is an all time classic even the Death Certificate is my fav Cube album. Incredible story-thank god I grew up during this era
OK..I really just came to listen to Hank break down his involvement. Not really wanting to overstate the obvious; this was a stone cold, Hip-Hop work of art. The combination of East meets West, the climate at that time IN the genre, and the fact that this was gonna be Cube's moment of sink, or prove you can swim..with the Orca's of Hip-Hop if you will. These guys killed it on so many levels, and at the same time created another sub-genre of the art form. Anyone who was expecting Cube to fail, was picking their jaws up off the floor after hearing "The Product". THAT shit is the whole package. Great album. I'm a Metal/Hard Rock/Bass player, but if I ever wanted to make a Hip-Hop album..the Bomb Squad would be my first choice. Pete Rock second...Peace.
Back in the day when we used to rap, if we ever would have made it big, this is one of the Gentlemen I would have wanted to work on our project! Peace!
The Bomb Squad did that. That Amerikkas Most Wanted album is my all time fav on beat production.... Even though Cube got his ass beat by Above The Law for using New York Producer and not recycling the that money with producers in Los Angeles....
+Huskey Miller They have too. Studio time cost money. Cant go in there with nothing ready because you could double your cost trying to write rhymes on the spot.
I got the Original CD til this day. Dope as record. Need to be Remastered tho, cause volume on it is natually lower than Death Certificate & Lethal Injection.
Cube came to NY with a one-way ticket, then 3 years later he's dissing NY because Pac did. People talk that shit but NY is always the mecca of hip hop. Word.
NY was hating when sombody was good and he is not from NY. but cube got good friends like chuck.d . daddy kane ,flav etc .he was not against n.y he was against the media and the haters from n.y
I've always thought the two best voices in hip hop were Chuck and Cube....crazy that they both found Hank and Keith. The third for me is probably Scarface.
It depends on where you lived when he left NWA. Being from LA, we knew the real reason he left and it was justified and we embraced his move. Eazy-E was garbage at this point and the NWA thing was getting old, we knew he didn't write his own shit (violation) and he was wack and basically NWA music caused more black men in Los Angeles (crips & bloods) to kill themselves because of this music, crack, politics, etc.
I always laugh when people go on about Cube's albums after Lethal Injection being classics! All those albums can't even compete with Amerikkka's and never will! Back when Hip Hop was exciting and not some beatless loop and some guy boring the ass off you with his lazy style of rapping zzzzzzz...
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted is a hip-hop classic!
Best album of all time
Classic album
@@KtotheGNiggaZ4Life, was close
Thanks... "America's Most Wanted" is one of the dopest hip hop albums ever!
Hank his brother Keith and Eric Vietnam Sadler aka Bomb Squad ARE brilliant and made timeless classic recordings that will live forever
Steve Loeb i agree hank n pe was on dre n nwa level back in 89-91 but thier names not really relavant today like kids today know dre but dont know hank or chuck
@@savannnahgeorgia7407 the problem is i can't find any interview to other than Shocklee ! well at least i thank YT for that...

NWA was influenced by PE that's why Cube turned to the Bomb Squad to pick up production where Dre left off at that time.
Look at Hanke's interview about It... priceless

Damn, that album was crazy. I still play it because it was ahead of it's time.
💣 Squad are the top 5 producers of all time. That Public Enemy poster in the background says it all.
Hank is a genius.

I found a true hip hop channel

Amerikkka's Most Wanted...is the best, west coast- gangster rap album EVER!
Actually one of the best hip-hop albums. You are crazy puting only against west coast. That album is up there with illmatic, Jay Z reasonable doubts, Public Enemy albums, Taking paid and full.
Hanks is a NYC producer.
The Bomb Squad, in a class by themselves...salute To the Shocklee brothers, and Mr. Sadler. The Best that ever did it.

Man... I used to bump the HeLL out of America's Most! Two 15's in the trunk of my 88' 1/2 Escort GT. Love that album...
Love listening to this interview for one of my favorite albums of all time
Best Cube album EVER
Some of my favorite producers
AND THE REST WAS HISTORY.
Classic Record and producer

Nd the rest is history. One of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
damn good interview
Back in the day when we used to rap, if we ever would have made it big, this is one of the Gentlemen I would have wanted to work on our project! Peace!
Thanks for this!
Genius!
Thank you for watching! Make sure you are subscribed for more!
Classic album 👍👍🔥🔥🔥
This is news I can use. Before the advent of the world wide web, I used to only wonder about things like this.
AmeriKKK's Most wanted isn't a classic album & hit without Shocklee.
First New York dude I ever seen with some Force Five robots!!!
F##_&IN' CLASSIC.
Master At Work - Pioneer.
Daimos and Gaiking in the background.
Perfect match! AMW self titled track went so hard in my truck recently!!!! CLASSIC 🙏🔥🙏 "Word but who the F*** is Herb"!
That shit is a masterpiece.
+Josh Done Agreed
That album was so ill! Beats were way ahead of its time.
Is that a Gai-King figure in the background? I would have talked to him about that for an hour. Rare to meet a New Yorker who watched Force Five
legend
The Bomb Squad did that. That Amerikkas Most Wanted album is my all time fav on beat production.... Even though Cube got his ass beat by Above The Law for using New York Producer and not recycling the that money with producers in Los Angeles....
Amerikkka’s Most Wanted
🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️
whats the name of the song in the intro? Is there a link?
Cube talks about this on the echo chamber with Mike D. Such dope stories.
They birthed a whole music revolution....
Top 5 hiphop album ,takes a mil,paid in full, chronic, illmatic, amerikkas most wanted
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A lot of artist today need to use that formula. Start writing more before you show up to the studio. Be prepared not wasting time.
+Huskey Miller They have too. Studio time cost money. Cant go in there with nothing ready because you could double your cost trying to write rhymes on the spot.
Huskey Miller you mean people just show up to the studio and *then* write their rhymes?! Seriously?
I got the Original CD til this day. Dope as record. Need to be Remastered tho, cause volume on it is natually lower than Death Certificate & Lethal Injection.
Cube came to NY with a one-way ticket, then 3 years later he's dissing NY because Pac did. People talk that shit but NY is always the mecca of hip hop. Word.
Tariq Busy Cube dissed NY before Pac. And People dissed NY because NY used to hate everything that didn’t represent NY.
NY was hating when sombody was good and he is not from NY. but cube got good friends like chuck.d . daddy kane ,flav etc .he was not against n.y he was against the media and the haters from n.y
I've always thought the two best voices in hip hop were Chuck and Cube....crazy that they both found Hank and Keith. The third for me is probably Scarface.
"Its the nyga you love 2 hate"
loved pe n the bomb squad they was my favorites but most ny kats dont respect hip hop from anywhere else
jinx isn't ice cube's cousin that's dr dre's cousin
If aliens came to earth and wanted to know about how young black men and why were they so angry id play amerikkkas most
It depends on where you lived when he left NWA. Being from LA, we knew the real reason he left and it was justified and we embraced his move. Eazy-E was garbage at this point and the NWA thing was getting old, we knew he didn't write his own shit (violation) and he was wack and basically NWA music caused more black men in Los Angeles (crips & bloods) to kill themselves because of this music, crack, politics, etc.
It was never a coastal sound. I never heard coastal shit just good shit . It all started in the west but took off in the ny
I always laugh when people go on about Cube's albums after Lethal Injection being classics! All those albums can't even compete with Amerikkka's and never will! Back when Hip Hop was exciting and not some beatless loop and some guy boring the ass off you with his lazy style of rapping zzzzzzz...
