DevilsJim89 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Woww!!! Great footage! I'm starting to think though "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson" probably wasnt a good choice for a 1st thing. "Jazzys Groove" woulda been dope to perform or Jeff was on the beatbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 It goes both ways. "I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson" followed a similar formula that their previous hits had (Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble, Parents Just Don't Understand, Nightmare On My Street). So it was wise 2 hit us with something that worked perfectly before. At the same time, maybe it was time 2 expose people 2 something a bit different...especially since He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper was a HUGE album. Also, with hardcore Hip-Hop and political Hip-Hop causing a buzz, they probably should have come with something different 2 show their evolution. And In This Corner... was a new sound with new energy and some experimentation. But those who stopped listening 2 JJ+FP after "...Mike Tyson" never knew about the albums other layers. FP at least in the interview that there was something different on the album, not just "...Mike Tyson." This was that limbo time right after Hip-Hop's golden age and right before it peaked during the 90's. At the same time, Gangsta Rap waz having it's seeds planted thru' N.W.A.'s Hardcore Hip-Hop sound and political Hip-Hop was blowing up becuz of Public Enemy. All the emcees who kept things basic or went the party route started getting a bad name simply becuz M.C. Hammer was blowing up out of this world. Once u get big, people come at u. Since Hammer, JJ+FP, Young MC, etc weren't gonna cuss their way thru' a fight, they just had 2 deal with it. Fast forward 2 now....gosh, it's depressing.
