Күн бұрынPart 2: • Ced-Gee on Producing B...
--------
MC Ced Gee from the Ultramagnetic MCs described his upbringing in the West Bronx. Ced Gee said the environment was family-oriented and comprised of Blacks on one side and Italians on the other side. Over time, the Italian population dwindled and Ced Gee moved to the Claremont Projects by the eighth grade.
The Ultramagnetic MCs members also talked about living through the numerous fires that plagued the Bronx during the 1970s, highlighting that even his building burned down. He described witnessing the birth of Hip Hop and sneaking with his brothers to watch DJ Kool Herc play.
In this clip, Ced-Gee speaking about watching the beginnings of hip-hop forming while he was growing up in NYC, and he admits that he never would've thought that it would go global at the time. Ced-Gee went on to explain how hip-hop was not accepted until it started becoming more popular and cassettes were being sold outside of the city. He also spoke about forming the Ultramagnetic MCs with Kool Keith, who Ced-Gee attributes with coming up with the name and concept of the group.

Yes Ced Gee & Ultramagnteic MC's were the first on record to fully use the "Synthetic Substition" song & drum breakbeat. The way Ced produced it (along with Keyboardist Money Mike on keys) set a standard and their awkward original rhyme style and switch was incomparable.

@czaralexander5156 3 жыл бұрын
Balzac nobody should be respected simply because they are older I know a lot of old heads that are very foolish And haven't really wised up in life age has nothing to do With wisdom wisdom happens when you go through things And learned from them a lot of old heads don't even learn from Their past mistakes they still have a mindset of a 25 years old The idea that you should be respected simply because Of age is a very foolish way of thinking
@DJXcalibur 3 жыл бұрын
jijor assad let me be clear when I say this.... If you do not respect your past, you will have no idea of how to navigate the future! ALL of us “old heads” as you call it were once young. EVERYTHING revolves. So what you all do today, we did back when. There just was not cameras always around to document it. We lived by different codes back then. We didn’t advertise everything. Yes some of us made mistakes. Some continue to do so. Regardless, anyone coming up after us should be able to learn from it. Whether good or bad! You take bits and pieces of information from that. Even when someone you look up to continues to make mistakes. Use that as a guide for yourself so you don’t follow the same path or worse! For instance. You see many youth today drinking lean. When many years ago DJ Screw died because of his usage of that drink. Some rappers stopped, but you had others like Wayne that proceeded to take it to another level. He started advertising it in everything he did. Many young rappers coming up after Wayne have either died or overdosed because they were following Wayne. This is a prime example of how Wayne should have learned from the death of DJ Screw (and many others in that time as Wayne came up) that the usage of lean was not good for you and was life threatening every sip you take. So make sure you don’t fall into a similar trap of thinking you can’t learn from those older than you! Most of all, respect is a two way street! You want it, you MUST dish it out as well! If your parents never taught you this, I will. You should ALWAYS respect your elders! Whether they are right or wrong. They were on this earth long before you and went through ten times more than you have ever seen in your short time on earth. ALWAYS respect those that have laid the ground work for you to even be here! You may think someone you see making mistakes (in your eyes) is nothing, but you have no idea what they have contributed to the struggle along the way! So be mindful that no matter how much you may not wish to respect your elders, you should give it none the less!

I am a huge fan of KRS ONE. I grew up listening to his music. I have seen him in concert probably 5 or 6 times. However, seeing and hearing Ced Gee, someone that is equally as significant, but so slept on, reserved and introverted, is what the hiphop world needs. Much respect to VLAD for helping those that do not know Ced Gee's importance learn about real hiphop history.
