[Crumple]

Whut!?!?!!


The very reason why you had to be dumb nice. Was so daddy o had no critique.

So he had a high standard and if thought you were dope then you were straight?

Can you put me on to a dope verse of his?

I don't think I heard him before. Prolly at a club playing old school.

Daddy o was basically the industry a&r who gave the green light to get you a deal. Where he never thought nobody was good in general.

So being nice in regards to that era.
meant you could sway this nikka to vouch from a cypha.


Best song of stet is :


Sally



Which arguably for the time.
May have been one of the best sampled hooks ever in rap.

How you do not know.
stetasonic is out of the ordinary for you tho.

Do you know a-f-r-i-c-a?

The 2nd Gravediggaz album was not really horrorcore though, it was a different direction and some fans didn't like that but they were on some Earth Cried or 12 Jewelz type stuff. I guess he is just referring to the first album more so.

Thank you.

That joint sounds like it'd be dope to scratch.

I just bought some low end dj equipment.

I'm committed to being the best turntablist I can.

Djying and graffiti are the purest form of hip hop to me. Do you agree?

What happened to Doggie Diamond channel? Dude used to have mad views...

Doggie had his channel demonetized for one. He shouldn’t have associated with that silverback rat Wack100 either

I wish that him and Karim bliz Johnson still made videos though. His channel started falling off once he stopped making videos with him.


I’m confused to why they stopped. Their videos goin back and forth was so good that Trevor Noah had to use a clip on his Comedy Central show.

Every skill discipline of every pillar is pure to me.


Only reason I was never a dj is because I never owned the equipment. Yet I got the vinyl tho.

I might not be 100% right but the Gravediggaz concept for the album was basically all 5% knowledge packaged as horrorcore rap. From triple stage darkness to knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

The first album was street/shock rap with a horror movie inspired vibe, sort of like how Wu was street rap with a Kung Fu inspired style. It wasn't on no devil worshiping shyt, but it was dark. There might have been a couple 5% references but it wasn't as overt as the second album

But the second Gravediggaz was very very heavy with the 5% knowledge.

The 2nd Gravediggaz album was not really horrorcore though, it was a different direction and some fans didn't like that but they were on some Earth Cried or 12 Jewelz type stuff. I guess he is just referring to the first album more so.

Yeah, completely different vibe, but I loved that second album more than the first.

Years ago I remember Poetic and Frukwan talking about the original concept, which they all kind of forgot about due to drugs.

It was, at one drugfueled point, supposed to be a trilogy.

1st album pure darkness
2nd album more street
3rd album enlightened.

Due to priorities (Rza with the Wu, Paul with his shyt) they kind of merged the 2nd and 3rd album into one, leaning more heavily into the third. Paul wasn't as involved because he was otherwise occupied and strapped for cash and Gravediggaz wasn't exactly a cashgrab for him. Rza didn't want to take over even more full albums, so it went to Rza's proteges for production.

I think you might be the first person I ever talked to who loves the second album as much as me, lol. Dap+rep.
