bigted Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 This looks like im sucking up now but im really interested. How successful were u back in the day, when jam on it came out, it was the same year i was born so its probably why i havnt heard of u. Im guessin u were pretty successful since mos def covered u and Will sampled u. But did u have good chart success and stuff? We had a few records that did well on the R&B charts, and Jam On It actually did well on the Pop charts, which was almost unheard of for Rap back then. Pierre Cardin and Jermaine Dupri covered Jam On It as well, and lots of people have sampled it, as well as other records of ours. We were on a national tour with Cameo and were also on the original Fresh Fest with RunDMC, The Fat Boys, Whodini and Kurtis Blow. We must have done at least 100 shows with RunDMC, a couple of shows with them opening for us. In fact, the very first show we ever did with them, the promoter only had enough to pay 1 group, so he paid us and stiffed them. They got mad and pulled the plug on the tape player right in the middle of our show. We were also with them the night Run first pulled his "who's house is this" routine (he was hella drunk). Oh...and WE were the FIRST Hip-Hop band...not Stetsasonic. :davidblaine: Is there any DVDs of your concert footage? I'd love to see that!

The people who we were signed to spent next to no money on marketing and promotion for us. If they had we would have been 10X as big today. They were too busy robbing us blind.

Lerkot Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Actually, I have a contact at the largest hiphop paper in Sweden with about 100 000 readers... if you need some promotion, some mentioning, I might be able to get them to feature an interview with you, just tell me if you are interested and I can speak with the boss of the paper.

Hey, that would be GREAT! I'd love to do it Lerkot, thanx a lot! We actually have some new remixes of "Destination Earth (1999)" being released out of Sweden on Deeplay Soultec Records within a month or so. They're House mixes but we're real excited about them. Thanx again man! :2thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
