Thank you for this video and all of the other clips in the True Hip-Hop Stories Series.

You need to post the ones on YouTube on here. The YZ video is an eye and ear opener (excuse the pun). YZ's story is truly inspiring.

Keep them coming! And don't forget about the ladies!

Holla!

Kwame first album was incredible! My cohort and me used to practice ill dance routines to this joint. His album cover with the computer wiz mind hip hop look, before I heard the whole joint I knew the beats was going to be bananas. Later on Tat money with the Korg peace had me buggin’ too. Nothing but good memories with this one indeed, another bless session D – NICE Thank you.

I still listen to "The Rhythm" on the treadmill to this day. I clearly remember the day that I bought The Boy Genius on cassette from the gas station up the street from me. I copped it and an African medallion.

Thanks, D-Nice.

This was dope, thanks D-Nice, I had no idea that Kwame was around the late, great Paul C.

December 29, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterChris

December 29, 2008 | Unregistered Commentergeorgejansen

Yo...great piece. You need to get these on screen, put to gether a documentary or something along those lines. I am a lawyer out here in LA, hit me up if you need anything. BTW, they used to call me D-nice in high school back in the 80s, great name.

Peace

Hottness! Keep it up D!

I remember the night Kwame sign his deal with Dave G. I was Djing a party in Fort Lee NJ and they both came in so happy. Gave them the mic and the rest is history. Kwame has become one of the best little know producer in music, not just Hip Hop but music. Keep it up.

This is a great documentary. Keep them coming.

Peace D,

First of all Happy Holidays and may you have a blessed New Year. I'm so glad that you doing this project and I hope and pray for this series to make it to DVD or television in the very near future. It's important that the true stories are told by the actual people who made these great records themselves and not to be distorted by the so-called historians who write horrible books like Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists. Thank you so much for doing this series because the truth needs to be told.

Love this series! Keep it coming!

December 31, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRoderick Moore

Thanks so much for this series. While you're talking to Kwame I'd love to hear the story of how "Ownlee Eue" was put together.

I also loved the Masta Ace story. I would def cop a DVD of the true stories of the Juice Crew. I really don't think that hip hop will ever see another crew like them ever again and would love to have their stories documented. I'm sure that G Rap, Kane, Shante, Biz, Ace, Marley, Craig G, Shan, and Trag all have some amazing stories to share with the world and you're the perfect guy to get them out of them.
