This is just the wax stuff, not the tapes or CD's

MC Breeze was one of my favorites! Philly artist never get recognized for their contributions....Schooly D, 3XDope, Steady B...the only Philly artist they ever remember is Will Smith. Although Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince did change hip hop...they dared to be different and kept it clean.

When i went away to school that was always the first ?? i got asked is do you know Jeff and Will. I knew folks that was tight with them but not me personally.

EST from 3X Dope is a songwriter now. He got an award at the songwriter's version of the grammys like in 2003 or 2004 I believe. Few folks want to give Schooly D the credit of the godfather of gangsta rap. But the west coast does give it up to him for that. There were a lot of rappers/dj's from Philly that like you said don't get the credit. There are 3 DJ's that are still around and they are on the international scene: DJ King Britt (Central HS), DJ Viktor Duplaix (from DJ Master Don and Exotic Vic) and DJ Cash Money. They have all been in the International DJ competions that are held worldwide. They used to do a lot of the local clubs and house parties back in the late 80's (those were the days )

I used to love Schooly D and 3XDope! You're right, they don't get the props they deserve. Steady B is doing life though, and Cool C, who was down with him, has the death penalty.

KRS ONE: "Steady B is definately serious!!!!"
