- Internets! On this episode of The Premium Pete Show, Pete kicks it with Legendary MC, PHAROAHE MONCH.
Pharoahe talks growing up in Southside Jamaica Queens, how important his parents support was at a young age, almost getting shot at Nas's 'It Ain't Hard to Tell" video shoot, his process for writing rhymes, Nate Dogg asking for payment for his "Oh No" feature in all cash, working with Mos Def & Talib Kweli, the funny story of how his name came to be and the ridiculous amount of money that had to be paid for "Simon Says" since Rawkus records didn't clear the Godzilla sample and so much more.
Kick Back, Relax & PRESS Play, CHEA!

Underrated but never underappreicated. BIG UP to Pharoahe Monch!
Wordplay way ahead of time. Teacher of lyrics. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
And to think the classic track "Times Up" by O.C. was orginally for Pharoah. We can only imagine what that would've sounded like with Pharaoh on it. Im sure there's a version with him on it buried somewhere. 🤯🤯
Elder Monch glad to see you sir.
Dope interview!! Monch is a lyrical legend!! Organized Konfusion👊
He came a long way from that 26 year old who made Simon Says.
'PTSD' was dope too. slept on deep album.
Your comment forced me watch the whole video. Glad it did. Awesome interview man!!
Here we go again wit the funky intro.
Dude has his masters degree nuff said
One of the dopest consistent mic monsters ever
I remember being in literal awe, about this mans capability to construct his words. From rooftops/ troops glocked/ to snipe my melon/ fellon/ sergeant yelling/ for me to come out like Ellen!
One of the Dopest MC’S ever💪🏽💪🏽
You Can Hear The Asthma In Pharoahe Voice. This Is Why He Is In My Top Five Along With Nas, Redman, De La Soul And Ice Cube.... He Has Asthma And Can Rhyme The Way He Does Incredible Stuff Man. Props To Big Daddy Kane Too....
Fairplay Terrific that’s straight up. As someone whom battles asthma myself, it’s remarkable the breath control he utilizes when rhyming.
I hear ya....pharoahe sick.....4 me...not ahead of black thought...
@@ForPetesake552 It's Amazing Man....
@@jamaaldavis6456 Props For Giving It Up To The Bad Lieutenant.... That Fight The Power 2020 Remix With Nas, Black Thought, Jahi, Rapsody, YG And Of Course Public Enemy Is Tight!....
@@jamaaldavis6456 Pharoahe better than Thought
90s hip hop is the apex of musical greatness
Criminally Underrated Goat!
My FAVORITE emcee hands down.I met him in person back in the days when He still lived with His parents. He gave me a rubber chicken as a relic. I met OC the same day."releasing hypnotical gases "Is still in my current playlist.
Dope memory, but why you have to mention him living with his parents? The same point could have been made without it, rubber chicken was enough fam...
My favorite emcee as well...
One of the top lyricist in the game ..The song call truth /common/ is still relevant....SALUTE
My favorite joint of internal affairs!!!!
@Domo Jones Common always murders people shit!!
My fav song all time
@Underground Chamber Muzik ...ppl really don't want to admit to that, but they need to realize that Monch been around doing music way longer than Eminem...
I remember seeing Pharoahe on the spitkicker tour w/ Phife, Xzibit, Kweli right when Simon Sez came out and they did it like 4x and all the mcs came out and ciphered to it as a encore.
So dope.
This man wright here is a lyrical God respect from Australia
Right not Wright 🤦🏾♂️
You betta pray to the pope/ or the vatican/before I go rat tat tat tat again/ Im mad again brother somebody's mother will be sad again....20 plus years and I still get goosebumps from that line. Pharoah is a living legend!!!!
“Shaping your braiiiiiin Liiiiiiiike Pooooottery ALL OVER THE TRACK!”🔥🔥🔥Great MC✊🏾
First off...pharoah makes being a ole' man look damn cool...yo'...he rocking Carhartt overalls....
That YAYO joint is nasty!! So if that joint is any indication of how this new album sounds!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Peace to the GOD Pharoahe Monch!
Most High's Tech Knowledge G I’m talking nasty !! That Michael Irving bar was crazy!!
I was locked up with Kurtis Blow he kept calling Russell Simmons to get him out lol
this fool thought he was talking about "PRINCE prince," then said "oh, prince PAUL!" no fool! don't you know the group pharoahe is in? organized konfusion! the other member is PRINCE PO!! he couldn't have said that, could he have?? (slaps forehead)
lolol caught that as well
Goes to show you he did not do any research before the interview.
Was a slight blooper by Pete, but I'll forgive him for that. He does do very good hangouts with some legendary people in Hip Hop including this one with the great Pharoahe Monch.
Prince Po is equally important in the duo man
I agree. 2 greats
Monch is one of those who's work will be studied, his word play and cadence is so layered
Great interview. 1 of the greatest Emcees ever!!
Per SonAl whole truth!!!
I love these interviews where legends are asked questions that inquiring minds ponder from an aspiring artist's standpoint, not that generic shit. This is dope.
yo.. this is a great interview, thank you Premium Pete! and Big Salute to Pharoahe, I am from JamaicaQueens and Organized Konfusion with Monch and Prince Po are lyrical blueprints in our hood - I recall passing the music building on union hall and hear illmatic music coming out of there but never knew that these cats were making incredible music
Legend..🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 bow down everyone..🎥 his music is an example of genius 💯💯💯📛📛🏁🏁

Great Interview, Monche one of the dopest lyricist ever to touch the mic He so humble but gifted with his words he's one of my favorite lyricist fasho. I do have Eternal Affairs, W. A. R. And PTSD Album I can't wait til he drop the New project That Still Standing joint on W. A. R. Shit brought me to tears man real talk, I can't believe that Nas and Pharoah Monche hasn't done a Collaboration yet Nas is my favorite emcee and they're both from Queens Make it happen somebody. I would love to see a Nas Pharoah Monche Stic from Dead Prez and Andre 3 Stacks on a record together hopefully one-day 💯🖤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Carlos tha Realest Nas don’t want to get on a song with him!!!
+Carlos tha Realest T hat will be a Dope Collab
@@jamaalhorton2343 It's not about competition I think the collab will do wonders for Monche He's well-respected in the game and to get on a track with one of the greatest emcee probably the greatest in my eye's Nas I think the record would have to mean something and be dope
Get Desire
@@khalil7708 Love that Album just picked up the other day
Man if I won a prize to put together my favorite Emcees on an album it would be Monch, Blackthought, Mosdef,Rakim,AZ, Nas Chris Rivers(PUNS Son) andl Treach!
That would be a Dope Ass Album but who in the Hell would Produce it lol? Pete Rock, Premier, DJ Quick, MadLib,Large Professor, Dr. Dre, Q-TIp who?
@@YakThaWiseman72 yeah that's a hard one but for starters Im wit you on the names you got , maybe Eric Sermon, Mr Porter from D12, and Diamond D!
@Domo Jones word. here go another one if. You a real Hip Hop Head Chip FU! ✌
I won’t lie and say I listen to Chris River’s music but I’ve heard him spit a few times and he is way to nice! Also he told stories that put Pun in a very negative light that are unsurprisingly being ignored.
Vincent Smith denaun porter is a bad ass producer
Today is PHARAOAHE MONCH Birthday. HBD to the legend
Dope interview from 1 of the most prolific MC's to do it. Pharoah is 1 along with 'FACE and SEAN P (RIP) who seemingly get better with time. Their evolution and relevance in the arena of greats is unquestionable. Also, the interview eludes to something I've always thought of and that's Pharoah's intelligence. PTSD just solidified it, WAR, these albums propelled him so far ahead into the MC stratosphere. This dudes bars ...wow!! NOW we find out he's designing and inventing sh..., society can not continue to write off these bredren who are intelligent lyricists. Tap into their entire mindset and we could probably solve some of today's major problems. Not Harvard educated, HARD LIFE educated, which few of us "truly" graduate from.
Pharoahe Monch featuring Canibus - Hell 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cant wait for the new album!!
So underrated.. One of the best of all time with the pen... Expert Wordsmith!!
"Im the poetical pastor slave to a label but i own my masters" Monch
Great interview with one of the absolute best emcees to ever walk this planet.Been a fan since I heard Organized Konfusion on a Hollywood Basic sampler in the very early 90's.
Phroah Munch is the rapper's rapper like Sam Cook is the singer's singer and is the most underrated also.Two Fingers and a whole lot of love.. Heterosexuals Stand up...
You butchered the ever-living fuck out of his name haha.
What? Heterosexuals? Bro, what does this interview have to do with being heterosexual. Tf
Good One..Straight LEGEND Pharoah' is cool too.😂
Rawkus was such a big part of my growth as a Hip Hop heard from 96-2000 when I was 13-17 years old. Such a dope time especially 98-2000 stuff.
HEARTBURN! P.!
That was NOT A PROPER introduction for one of Hip Hops premier lyricists.
Frantz Fuller I agree fully!!!!!!! How did he not go further into the introduction of one of the top three emcees of all time!!!
Real, had the same thought
Jamaal Horton Monch is worthy of one of those long winded introductions that Sway gives. I mean shit even Drink Champs would’ve done a better job. Hip hop has to do a better job of celebrating its heroes.
Frantz Fuller I agree 1000 percent! This man has a 25 plus year Career, one of the best emcees ever! And his intro was 1 Second long!
🗣 “ *Officer* *Fleming* “{ *Mayor* } off ‘Sound Bombing ‘ Vol:II (circa:1999)
Regarding Mayor Guillaini of New York! 🎙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯
one of the best monch interviews. i've never heard his full story before
Miss the days where Oh No with Pharoahe Mos & Nate Dogg could be on the radio! One of the last great radio HipHop songs imo (less then 10 since then).
Man i love his part on the CZcams playlist kinda bits n pieces called multisyllabic rappers it has pun for the thumbnail
Monch out here looking Organic as heck, hes on Farmer time now lol. Ma Man, one of the dopest to still do it.
Oh shit a blast from the psy i been rocking that Godzilla flip since the new flip came out love from Japan bradda!
Yo pete....intetview lord tariq..diamond d...royal flush..the streets is saying your show is the next level of intertainment....
I’m intellectual, passed more essays, than motorcade police parades through east LA. That’s the best lines in Oh No, in my humble opinion
1999 has 3 incredible solo debuts:
Pharoahe Monch
Eminem
Mos Def
Also classic Roots album & dope prince Paul concept album.
Pharoe monch is like a very underrated rapper from queens
One of THE ILLEST EMCEES ever period and after Rakim/G-Rap/Kane Pharoahe was that next wave in 1991 to change the game lyrically/creativity/flows wise along with Treach (Lord Finesse in super early 90s also)!
Thank you for Pharoahe, I think he summed up the song "My Life" with Styles P
One of the most underrated MCs out there!! ✊🏾👊🏾
Dope episode!
Respect to Pharoahe, I randomly bought the 'Desire' album when Circuit City was closing because the Cover looked cool. They had a huge blowout sale and it was only like 5 bucks and I have been listening ever since! I ended up getting it for free because the cashier handed me my money back accidentally! lol
Very Very underrated M.c, been down with this cat for awhile
Remains in my Top 5 list.
True Hip Hop rap Underground Pharoahe Monch.. True Skillz
Good interview
Show No Mercy!! Featuring M.O.P (produced by the ALC) still banging it since 99'
Great dig interviewing Pharoahe. But just a tip, clean your TV before you record every video and your TV is mounted a little tilted. It is not parallel to the horizontal.
Pharoahe monch is top 5 all time....
❤❤❤
P.Monch is such an under rated legend !!!
G O A T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" Get The Fxck Up "
Prince prince?
Oh..prince paul.
...obviously he is talking about prince po
Pharoe is RAW
THANK YOU!!! MORE INSPIRING THAN "BAD" OR "VLAD" TV...MUCH RESPECT. PLLEEEAAASSSEE, KEEP UP THE GREAT INTERVIEWS,...1
One of the illest
Vlad mad cause he couldn't ask him about NAS first,,, lol!!!
Fuck vlad lol vlad said nas only good album was illmatic
Pseudo Nym I don’t fck with VLAD at all. First, cuz of that funny style gossip shit he’s on. And 2nd the way he HATES on NaS but co-signs the fck shit.
"If yall are tellin me that todays music is suitable and appealin then im tellin you the feelin is not mutual".
-pharoahe monch
THE GOD!
I would like to see him and Po do another Album!! Songs like Stress and Stray Bullet, some of the Illest songs they did together
It's not going to happen . They vowed never to do it after " The Equinox (1997) " failed to chart . Hollywood Basix (an urban division of Hollywood Records/Disney) , did not want to promote them properly. Originally they wanted to be signed to Def Jam , but Russell Simmons didn't like their name (Simply II Positive MC's) . If they had the proper promotion , they could have been doing it for 15 years .
Never seen this show before but i been a fan of Monch for 20+ years so i had to peep!!
Im a lil curious about Petes affiliation with hiphop(spidey sense tingling) cause of his confusion with Prince/Prince Paul when Monch was talkin Prince Po. I mean come on homie, he said "Organized Konfusion" and hes talkin bout back in the day with the homie.
My love of hiphop(i consider myself a "hiphop historian") probly got me overthinkin/bein too critical so lemme just say good look on the interview/upload.
✌ 👑
You can tell that pharoahe don't really wants to talk about his oldschool stuff, to me that's his best stuff the Organized Konfusion albums and the Internal Affairs album plus the rawkus records shit.
Pharoahe Monch is the G.O.A.T.
The times in in the lunch room table of art and design with this brother, prince po and and others great graffiti writers and dancers.
Classic Esp
It’s crazy to see all the people we grew up watching and seeing on tv, are now getting old
Madden NFL 2002 Soundtrack was dope 💯🔥❤ Pharaohe Monch
Pharoahe tha Farmer!! #LegendaryFlow #GhostWriterExtraordinare #TrueEmCee

Big Fan Of PM, Great Interview. 👍 👍 👍
Reminds me of my boy HundredGrand alslo from Queens
I can see how he and Sean P clicked. They have a similar sense of humor
Monch is definitely from EGYPT...
Nah QUEENS.
@@flex1481 He's not speaking geographically , he means his features.
@@GMANKOOL23 An I still say "Nah Queens"
@@flex1481 Your'e that unique kinda stupid. Thats wassup.

I would love to hear that record he's talking about doing with Keon Harold
DIGGIN' IS VERY SPECIAL.
Oh shit Alexander's!!!! That must be an old NY thing.
👏👍👌☑️💯
I would like to see another interview with Monch
Different interviewer
This was uncomfortable for me
Wanted some more insight on his future thoughts
The culture , his philosophy today
That was super confusing! I thought Monch meant Native Tongue Prince Paul because he said "Paul"... Pete was wherever he was with it... So is Prince Po's first name Paul? Or something... Nobody really cleaned this up.
51:20 sample talk. Thank me later
I didn’t know blk artist that listen to other shit but that’s cool
huh?
The fact Pharoahe, Big Pun, Eminem &
Black Thought have no solo records with Premo! 🤬😕
