To quote myself:

"EPMD is a subject for [this thread]...they rock my world.
Really, is there a band that gets more shoutouts in other band/artist's liner notes than EPMD?"

I'm the mellow, the fellow, the one that likes to say hello
To a fly girl that is good to go
With the slow tempo and the off-beat rhyme flow

My favorite track has always been "Its My Thing."

When the DJ throws that on, the first thing you hear is the chopper effect....oh snap.

"If you want some water, then get you a cup/ and if you don't want it, then burn the hell up!"

"Drink budweiser, can't stand miller"

I guess Erick Sermon was in a car accident on 10-17. Hmm.

Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't heard this...they claimed he was in a car accident in 2001, but that's the last I heard.

I be the personal computer information on rap

Double Leaning Jowler (The Reverend), Monday, 29 September 2008 08:27 (seventeen years ago)

I wonder what they thought of ATP?

Pillbox, Monday, 29 September 2008 08:28 (seventeen years ago)

xxpost etc. - You Gots To Chill = best rap cut of the 1980s (yes, that includes PE, Eric B + R, NWA, Whodini, LL, Run DMC & everybody else listed in the liner notes to "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back")

Pillbox, Monday, 29 September 2008 08:33 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, but it's not better than "It's My Thing".

Double Leaning Jowler (The Reverend), Monday, 29 September 2008 08:34 (seventeen years ago)

U mean the Salt/Pepa track? OK then..

Pillbox, Monday, 29 September 2008 08:36 (seventeen years ago)

ummmm....what? I mean the EPMD track.

Double Leaning Jowler (The Reverend), Monday, 29 September 2008 08:39 (seventeen years ago)

O wait, duh. Nevermind please..

Pillbox, Monday, 29 September 2008 08:39 (seventeen years ago)

The first thing that popped into my mind was "Shake Your Thing."

Pillbox, Monday, 29 September 2008 08:40 (seventeen years ago)

I wonder what they thought of ATP?

Not sure, but their set was incredible. High energy, great setlist, lots of fun.

ilxor, Tuesday, 30 September 2008 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah it was great!

i can't stand hearing the zapp band "more bounce to the ounce" without the rap over it. epmd made the definitive version of that tune. same with the jb's "monaurail" on "let the funk flow."

elan, Tuesday, 30 September 2008 03:03 (seventeen years ago)

Disagree about Zapp as they were HUGE in 1980, but I'd agree that It's My Thing defined '7 Minutes of Funk' more than the original, Grandmaster Flash's breakout single, and yeah, even Jay-Z.

this ddrake sounds right on

deej, Tuesday, 30 September 2008 05:58 (seventeen years ago)

damn.... I never noticed that "so just chill....til the next episode" was an epmd ref until now

Double Leaning Jowler (The Reverend), Tuesday, 30 September 2008 20:35 (seventeen years ago)

beat to 'let the funk flow' might be my fav

E: "if there's a problem, the Hit Squad rolls mad deep
so I can rest my head and get some sleep"...

PMD: "...while the E-Double takes a nap, no time to slack
it's my turn to guard the fort, ready for combat"

<3 erick sermon was the napping-est rapper in the game!! dude likes to sleep

Blink 187um (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 27 May 2011 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

The Juice ost is real good. Has my favorite Eric b & Rakim joint on it.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 27 May 2011 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

Great EPMD tune too, natch.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 27 May 2011 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

Still feel like the initial drop on Da Joint is one of the best in raps.

Some classic Jeep ridin' in that video too.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 27 May 2011 20:44 (fourteen years ago)

i had found my cassette for the Trespass soundtrack a while back that had some gems too

Blink 187um (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 27 May 2011 20:54 (fourteen years ago)

Never have heard that, or heard of it. Looks like a good lineup tho.
