Much Respect To The Old School KNON Krew!

Great documentary

Shout out to the Dallas Hip Hop scene and its impression on the culture 🫡

Just finished the entire film. Good job guys. Wish Eddie had finished telling that Insane Clown Posse story.... it's a good story.

At about the 41:00 min mark, the story goes to Deep Ellum. They talk about the early 90s at the start of this section. From my understanding, the group that I promoted around the world, The Left & Right Shoe MC's, were the first group from the DFW area to play Deep Ellum, unless you count DDT at Theater Gallery, etc. Left & Right Shoe MC's played Club Empire on December 16, 1988. DJ Curly introduced the group. It was awesome! I got to take Curly home to West Dallas after the show. I also got the group mentioned in Billboard and Dance Music Magazine (a Miami based publication due to their fast song Don't Stop Now). I got them in Impact Magazine in Jackie Paul's DJ's countdowns for Dee Nasty in Paris France, another DJ I can't remember his name, in Liverpool and Jay Strongman in London. I went to London in April 1989 and saw people jammin' at the clubs and dancing to a local Ft. Worth rap group. It was awesome. Not sure why I wasn't contacted about this doc when it was being made. I'd been at KNON beginning in June 1986 (still have tapes I recorded from 1984) then I wound up on Fridays with the crew after Snake, Big Al and Cassanova went to Thursday nights. Then went to K104 with Nippy and hung out there for a couple years with Nip on Friday nights, answering phones, etc. Just had so much fun there. I also wrote about the local hip hop scene from 1990 to 1992. I gave every local group the PR they deserved. Each month, anyone could pick up a free Music News Magazine copy at Sound Warehouse and read the latest about our rap scene and about the radio stations who played local artists. It was so much fun from 1986-1992 for me. One of my best friends today became my friend after meeting him at KNON in 1986, DJ Dallas Scratch, we shared all the same dreams and have so many of the same memories since he was at K104 with me on Friday nights and we went to all the same music conventions too. It was all good back then. Love the memories this brings up. And don't get me talking about my friend Baby G, best DJ in America in 1988 (or was that early 1989) and 4th in the world a few months later at the world championships. What a great guy, great family, and loved that time I pretended to be a DJ using his 1200s he left at my house and I made a one hour mix tape complete with my lame version of scratching. And a special shout out to Willie Fressh and a thank you for that ride home after my first visit to KNON on a Friday afternoon in 1986. Willie was the taxi that day as he took me, Deshay, and Dallas Scratch home, and I lived way out in Irving :) For anyone who cares, I went by "Jesse" at KNON, just in case you're wondering who Brian is and you remember some of the times I describe above. I think Jesse is the only name DJ EZ Eddie D knows me as. Another legend of the Dallas music scene. I love Eddie!

R.I.P "Minus Wun" on the painting intro @ 1:05.

Knon left out Cisco soul,,,she was one of the only djs taht played hip hop,,,,,,,,

A lot of missing pieces from here

Sum it up/ Dr. Rock biggest dj , Nemesis best group kings of Bass, Gerald Griffin most popular and influential dancer / The DOC greatest rapper out of Dallas one of the greatest lyricist period/ Twigh Light, Shamrock, 2nd Stage where it all began/ I'm a Gilyard from Oak Cliff this Era kinda came to an end once Crack appeared, the money and violence changed the game. I was surprised to see Vanilla Ice in the video. We got behind him and helped to make him a star in those days but not once did he shout out Dallas once he made it. I know Dj DeShay personally (went to the original Amaceo Smith on Beckley with him) he never got credit for Ice Ice baby I think Earth Quick did tho. The DOC went to Kimball for a brief moment we were freshman together. We both rapped and competed , once he hooked up with Rock it was a wrap. The first major star out of Dallas. Nice documentary . Anyone with photos or videos of Gerald Griffin get at me, a real legend may he rest in peace

Dallas has a galore of history, and the Cali connections goes way back as well. Ron C even slowed his song down way before it was thought of.

This is great. I grew up with all these dj's. Friday and Sat nights on K104 and during the week on KNON. From the legend Eddie D, who still has his show, to Dr. Rock who brought them LA dudes down here, and many, many other djs we had. It was a party in Dallas every weekend! Thanks for this documentary
