The greatest beat-box song’s to me are (here’s a stuck in the 80’s comment).Rahzel,though most know from The Roots is a S.Bronx native.Whom really didn’t catch rek way deserved until his enlistment into The Roots organic sound (it only makes sense that the only crew into 2000’s to still have “vocal percussionists.” *2 of ’em* a lil’ trivia who is the 2nd one.Roots’ vocal percussionist that steped up lovely when Rahzel started his dolo LP around turn of century.) They’ll be a prize!
Steppin’ and stompin’ back to the 80’s.As Yo-Yo did the 90’s.The greatest beat-box song imo.Was blessed upon us from a source many may be suprised by.His name is Gregg Nice (“& i’m mc Smooth B/Humor don’t make me laugh/Go take a bath you don’t know the half/of my structure is like a skyscrapper/Gregg Nice/not a comic book caper!)
Yes Yes Ya’ll.Gregg Nice (i didn’t forget you Gato ) *bonus/info fact-while GN was rock,shockin’ w/….T-L-A R-O-C-K usually the reason for a very nice day.Smooth B got his start singing backround vocals for Bobby Brown on the my perogative tour.Thus the beautiful “Harmonizing” on their recordings.*
So my favorite beat-box song(s) may suprise many.#1 is called “3 minutes of Beat-Box”f.the original Pain In Da Ass (or at least the dude he bases his Tony M. charachter on.)We had DMX (another blatant bite)*“wind it up”*…..Just-Ice’s beat-box and my #2 pick “Latoya” (also spawned many biters e.g. “Veronica”.)We had Ready Roc C (who was 2nd out the limo after Charlie Mack!…lol) from Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
We had The Skinny Boys rock,shockin’ early as ’85.We had Rev Run in ’86 on Raising Hell with “Hit It Run”…..great beat-box song.
An of course Doug E. Fresh by way of Uptown via Barbados.Always shout my W.Indian bredren.Lastly (low on the AA’s i’ll re-up and run more down for site’s faithful)…..a big SHOUT & (RIP) to Darren Robinson aka Buffy aka the original HUMAN beat-box.Which of course was from Fat Boys fame.Yet in late ’83 it was a 12″ by The Disco 3.With no artwork.(the Fat Boys were no gimmick.Mark Morales aka Prince Markie Dee was/is still a relevant cat in music.An Kool Rock Ski was an emcee w/ delivery and cadence!)The 12″ was entitled “Stick’em” as i’m sure most reading this know.I would hope some others speak-on this smart/very important post.-Thanks
To clarify quickly.I say DMX *Ruff Ryders* is a name biter for 2 reasons.Someone’s Moniker is their lable.Their “calling card” so to speak.As you know as early as his “Born Loser” *i liked that song* days in ’92-’93 he was DMX the Great.He was aware of the other DMX *the beat-box LEGEND* especialy being from YONKERS which is essentialy (along w/Now Rule,and Mt.Vernon *money earnin’* that is) a Stones Throw from the Boogie Down.So where things like this are useless info to most.You better believe he was aware of not only Just-Ice and DMX.Also Davey DMX.It being a beat machine *the DMX*.It only makes sense.The peops in 80’s w/DMX in their name.Are people providing beats whether organic or Plugged in.*pause*…..peace,love,and trueness!!!!
Ethex…what’s up with the Don Swanson alias??
Why do you sound upset.Why not jus’ say what’s-up above you if you recognize.Did i go around tellin’ people Deric “D.Dot” Angelitte from Two Kings In a Cipher was “The Maad Rapper”!!!!…..I know you see IP adresses as you check comments…..So not like tried to fool anyone.I wrote anonymous.Last 20 times dropped knowlege.Why not ask wussup w/ anony. alias.I wasn’t hurting anyone by entertaining myself and my son.Very Offended.You want me to know you know.Wasn’t an ongoing prank.Why you blow me (yourself,if we fam i had plans for DS) up.You peoples get angry at me building on a post.
“Rhymes,Rhymes,Rhymes/ i’m jus writing rhymes all the time/…..denying me is like frontin’ on JESUS”-Smooth B…. that’s a great line imho
Khaled my muscle’s getting ready to be jetti to the 5th grade scholars classes.Tell Stroy and anyone else where DON SWANSON aka “IT’s SICK,IT’S GOTTA’ BE SICK!!!!” Originated from.OK.sucio smash @ 1hr and 39mins. 9seconds-1hr. and 51minutes and 12 seconds and thruout whole 12-4-08 show.peace.oh,It directly follows a great DITC set he set off from 1:06-the 1hr and 39 min. mark mentioned as Marv Albert would say “for those keeping score at home.”…Hey K….D-Will aka D Mello Flaco and the soon to be Bklyn. Nets…..or the now,(some say fare-weather fanned )…N.Y. Knickerbockers?…..Big L said it best on S&B in ’98 very shortly before his tragic death- …..and i plan to get rich/ i’m from New York and never been a fan of the Knicks….Well if you let me school you after-school (like title to your fav artists song)….then i’ll hold court about The Red Holzman’s,the Bernard King’s,the Walt “Clyde” Frasier’s (yes the now Knicks color commentator to Mike Breen’s play-by-play the player i showed you whom The Suede Puma was designed for as his signature)….grips….and bboy’s then started loving them.He’s reason you have yours.The heroic Willis Reed’s…..
BTW DS and Ethex say INCREDIBLE “mix” DS-The PE was sick!!!!…..Ethex-The whole ish’ was unbelievably ILL.How many artists did he cover.We should get a count.Seriously impressive.I’d love to see an *up-to-date* eg-This dude beat-box battle.I’ll participate.Good idea i’ve always wanted to see a DJ vs. Beat-Box battle.It has that *root for underdog* Rocky appeal.Due to the factor of crowd reaction….this kid’s appeal may get him a W.Not against say a Rob Swift.That>unfair.Just a good DJ.
Wow.I intentionaly left Biz off to see if one person would mention any Beat-Box LEGENDS other than……what i mentioned,…..are you that p’d at DS….or should i assume i’m not welcome in this City???!!!!….
Actually I did notice that E, I though you were just leaving out the obvious.
Yes.yes.and more yes.A.I’m ashamed for not intentionaly *as a student always thirsty for someone to each one,teach one.Before i share my shame.I must say downloading’s cool and all but when fam is putin’ together NAS’ compilation’s leave a comment of any kind.The good kharma “thanks” works.Props to all that share in thanking Stroy & MILLS.-
The beat-boxer and quite a legend.From hiphop’s first Band.Yes.I slept WISE from STET.Just peep his skills on “Faye” from their best LP to me.On’Fire-late’86.In Full Gear also -early’88…..stay diggin’…..stay educated.Noone’s obligated to show love.All i can do is support site.Share any and all knowledge that may be helpful to peoples that LOVE this culture.As opposed to being mad at anyone for being confused (Love’sGonna’Get’Ya)You can’t love anything or anyone until you’ve logged some quality time with.It’s not a shock that kids can’t even last 2wk.’s interning and working with duo’s and true-school hiphop personalities.I look over and i can see the revelation of “holy ‘ish,i don’t even know hiphop culture…..they were saying pause and we were lost in lingo hell and they lauged hystericaly at us and all thought i was.”Make sure you know distinction.Love or Like.Live-it 100%.Everyday.Allday.Or talk a dif way round dif crowds.Enjoy beats and rhymes.Participate.Or stand outside waiting to get in.
We have special times ahead.Alot of great music btween 2010 (i know,makin point of dope retro-active bangers all 2010.)Were gonna’ see an NYC Rennasaince of ’85-’95 prorportions.Today’s elite emcees from WU get w/ Pete Rock.Same with Roc Marce.The best producers from’94-17 yrs. later are same cats.The “Moco-Down” & every borough has reps.So i say support indie joints.Lable joints.If you love something they let it go.Then if comes back it was meant to be.I put it to that test (&lasted 2days,lol….my record) twice.Both times.I fought thoughts of full-color burners,window-down panel pieces,bein’ strapped w/ noting but erasers (made fattest marker and kids had the teachers at school buggin’,lol.sorry mrs.Jerpes)….then my day-dreamin’ turned into Pex & PKS.The 2 best all-around bboy’s i know.Their combo’s and footwork is the physical moves of a Jimmy Castor impassioned lyrical propeled by razor sharp horn riffs.Then i travel (back) to Holland.Back in ’90.A dude well-known around the Polo-Grounds (155th).He rocked all of Uptown.Stevie D.Then/&still fact X-Men responsible.As crew.He’ll always be.He excelled exponentioly.He’s DJ Roc Raider.What i witnessed with him,DJ RobSwift,and MistaSinista in an extended (love overseas,lol) hour & half shredding of unreleased joints,orig.’s,even a dub plate.
The following PSA.and TUSBAOEE….(The Unauthorized 7Boro Autobiog of Ethex Editorial)*no sponors,no gimmicks,no wack music,rhymes,bboy’n,Zigga-zig-zig’n.As in within.The DJ’s system.To say you “LOVE-IT”…..is to say “i’m willin’,for buildin,a better place,ta ‘rayze our children.No halfway.Ass-play.Jus’ praise the feeling.
Ethex, thanks for dropping knowledge as usual. Peace.
