Grew up with Scooby in the same building, 390 Bushwick. They moved when we were still young. Das dropped when I was about 20-21 years old. At that point I hadn't seen Scooby in about 10 yrs. Had no idea it was him and I loved these dudes. Last time I saw him we were elementary school age. The dreads didn't help. It happened to be my Dad that told me "Books in reverse" from Das was Scooby or Willie Hines form the 6th floor, because he had just come from Scoob's father's homecoming. I'm like nahhhhh. Checked one of the albums and saw W. Hines and I'm like oh shit!!! Then on the 3rd album he actually told some of the story where he was from in the song "niggas just can't have nothing".

I was the first person in my high school to have that debut cd and I tell you what I had to make a whole lot of cassette copies of it. Then in 98 when they dropped Generation EFX I was in school in Montana blasting that out of the Kenwood/Yamaha combo in my dorm room representing NY from 3000 miles away.

Unsung took it back 🙌🏾 As a VSU student coming onto the yard in 1990 and President of the NJ Pre-Alumni, I was surrounded by greatness! So much talent! Would see them hanging out before going to class. They want EFX & Mic Checka was heard throughout the VSU campus 💙🧡 #VSUPride 🙌🏾

I was a huge fan of Das, brought their 1st 5 albums actually. The 1st 4 were dope IMO. Their 3rd album Hold it Down was one of my favorite hip hop albums period.

Ain't nothing like 90's hip hop Especially early 90's what a life to experience to listen to. That song THEY WANT EFX give you that different kind of energy. It's the kind of talent blows you're mind while listening to lyrics.

The fact that you can consider Mic Checka better than They Want Efx is a testament to how live Solid Scheme were in 91/92. And to hear that Mic Checka was like the last song to make Dead Serious is ridiculous.

I wish they would've mentioned their B-Side Banger "Hard Like a Criminal". The back-and-forth of two different prespectives, as they unknowingly set on a collision course of fate, was to me, The BEST subject in a Hip-Hop song that entertained, but WAS ALSO A Cautionary Tale. Much Respect to these talented Brothers! 😎👍

In 1992, Skoob and Dray became a piece of my life's soundtrack. They are the dopest and the beats even when they did the "ig-ety" sounded like a speedbag that is connected nicely.I still play the first album to the last album. Because they brought me back to the good times.

Stop saying underrated. Know the definition. They weren’t underrated at their time. All things change and rap music changed for the worst. They were from the time of the educated cultured rappers. Not underrated.
