I would not say he reinvented himself. Buddy was always nice. He just added polish and harder bars. Now M.F. DOOM, that dude transformed into a whole new person!
On Nocturnal it felt like Rock was the main dude and Ruck was the sidekick! On Magnum Force it was more like they both was the main dudes equally! But DIRT? Them niggas both shine on that album! 1988Steez
Vlad we need these interviews man - Biz Markie, Slick Rick, Special Ed, Grand Puba, Howie Tee, Prince Paul, Das Efx, Fu-Schnikens, Doug E Fresh, Breeze from LA Posse, Paris, Pharcyde, Mantronix, Herbie Luv Bug, Gza, Marley Marl, Whodini.
Watching these interviews is bitter sweet coz it just reminds me of how good hip hop was back then...gritty, raw..... gangsta but with intelligence and lyricism. Yeah I know there's still underground music and all that but truth is we will never have that again. First saw the Operation Lockdown video as a kid with this niggaz face painted up looking hella scary.. but the shit was just different!! Real artists with real talent!
Daniel Kelly never heard of him but I'm gonna check him out... appreciate the heads up! Funny tho coz not too many guys from the UK know about Heltah Skeltah, good to see someone from our side of the water appreciating real hip hop and quality MCs 👊
You know what's interesting? Rock says that he told Ruck: (paraphrasing) "when you can be the same guy in your raps that you are in real life, nobody's gonna be able to mess with you" and then later Ruck became "Sean Price" which is his name in real life. So I guess he figured out how to do that, and he wanted his rap name to reflect that.
Both them niggas helped out each other so much! It's a reason why those two clicked so perfectly! Sean also told Rock "Just rap! You do too much thinkin' of whatchu have! JUST RAP!" They both gave each other advice! #RIPSEANPRICE
In the beginning, Sean was more technical 95% of the time, Rock had the iller voice but even then he still wasn't no slouch. I'd say it was even, but they both got better as they got older.
I'm sitting here listening to this and what rock said is so true every time I see something about Sean Price I leave this comment I met him when he came to Rochester New York and just what rock said if he spit how he act he would be the Ellis and how he act that is true to form cuz when I met him he did a double-take because he honestly thought I was a nigga he used to commit robberies with so he looked at me like dang when you get out then he looked again I owe my back but him cracking jokes him treating me like I was somebody he grew up with after he autograph some stuff he came outside and we all just sitting there talking and he telling the stories cracking jokes slapping us up like we was part of the crew even later on that night when we went to the show he on stage doing this thing took time out to point me out in the crowd and Shout me out Sean Price is real as they come as underrated as anybody my man rest in peace God MC
I think Ruck was quiet on the album though he did rap on all songs with Rock! I don't think he killed Rock, I just think Rock overshadowed him alittle in the album cause if you think about it? Rock lead most songs off the album!
It's so nice to see these interviews. Rock is awesome. RIP Sean P! When I grew up, the first stuff I heard from him was Monkey Barz. I was a fan right away.
Grew up listening to Dis Incredible Rap Team... I guess what has made them so timeless is co-existence. Rock carried Ruck and inversely Sean P in his prime. He kept it real by motivating this Monster back to D.I>R>T Levels ( I am a Rock fan - Peep his verse on So Damn Tuff). They were more than a Duo. It's much deeper. Iron sharpens iron, Diamond to Diamond. These twins perfected the art from my end. I doubt that if the current Hip Hop era will never produce such Artistry...
When I was a kid all I remember was "Everyone welcome to the gangster world of Agallah" 😂! I was too young to learn the rest of the song lol. #ripseanprice
It's called a High Riser ring and they were popular back in the days in NYC. The design is the Decepticons logo. That was a gang from Brooklyn in the 80s and early 90s that Ruck and Rock were major components of.
Right lmao! Even Rock spoke on that shit about Magnum Force before P said the shit about him "..And stop asking me why Ruck cut off his dreads" 😂! Its all proof on "The Passion of Price" he explained it..
I definitely understand what he meant by bits and pieces, but fuck, Ruck was still dope as shit on Nocturnal. That's when he became my favorite MC. Rock has one of the meanest voices in rap (along with Billy Danze IMO), but I always thought Ruck/Sean Price had the best sounding voice in the whole game. Something about it just appealed to me way back when. His verses on "Clans, Posses, Crews l, and Clicks" and "The Prowl" had me stunned. Previews of what was to come.
I know Rock is just trying to big up his brother here but he was better than Sean P during their first wave without question. I’m talking 93-97 era. Rock was top 3 in BCC at the time with Buckshot being the #1 guy. Rock was killing all verses and features. Grate Unknown is still his best solo track. It wasn’t until later on down the line when Sean P started to find a new style and take off.
This interview shed some mad light on the GOD , that honesty and humility ,had love and respect 4 ROC since BCC , one of the deepest voices and grimiest raps outta the east coast , Rip Sean price , mf doom Thanks vlad ❤
I understand what rock said but Sean had some very ill lines on the nocturnal album. Here is some prove. "Straight from the under, I make niggas wonder, why I tap jaws, rock black eyes See I, never think about things I be doing Lives I ruin, in this here shit we pursuing My parabellum be swelling cerebellums when ya dwelling The Caucasoid, you void, 'cause my niggas rebellin' Who in the hell ever, said you can dwell whether Or not, I sever your knot, with the shots so whatever, akh What? You don't wanna battle me, battle me, that'll be The day my whole posse rushes your monkey ass like cattle, G True warrior, conqueror, takin' flights, yo Watch a nugget, I love it when niggas gone psycho" - Sean Price - That shit is some of the illest on point, slow flow shit I heard to this day. It still blows my mind.
To be in a group with Rock (at that time) would be impossible for anyone to stand out but you're right; Sean had hella dope verses on Nocturnal that stood out too
I disagree … Rock had the complete package when nocturnal dropped … even on Lefluh Leflah he was the standout …. Not just voice but lyrics wise … Ruck had to grow into Sean P
Taya'an Jr. Thats what the fuck Im saying! Ok Rocks voice has always been ice cold but Ruck from Letha brainz blo to Operation Lockdown was lyrically on a different level... vlad is a poser he only check for the artist when the spotlight is on em
I listen to this and Imperius Rex as a double album. I'd always wish duo's would do this then Outkast came through! But imagine Mobb Deep did that - 1 Prodigy album and 1 Havoc album! That shit woulda been a sales monster! And obviously Wu-Tang gotta take it to the next level with a full 9 bluray disc series collection😂
It’s funny. When Heltah Skeltah was in their prime people wanted that Rock solo album. He was offered solo deals and everything. Even Starang was getting more attention then Ruck. Rock couldn’t put it together. I wonder why. Sean Price has the best catalog on Duck Down.
Nocturnal is when discovered Sean Price and his flow was unlike any at the time... Nocturnal too me is a top ten album all time because every song is bangers
RUCK killed Nocturnal LYRICALLY….they both are dope but RUCK never disappointed. Operation Lockdown….Undastand…..Therapy……bruh…..he’s BEEN that dude!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Why don't you release the complete interviews anymore?
Rock so fucking humble. One of the dopest voices and hardest lyricists.
This isn't a story about the music industry. This is a story about friendship.
Big ups to Rock, and RIP Ruck.
Sean was incredible , he was the best rapper out of the whole BCC. You heard him best in Therapy on Nocturnal.
He killed that album handz down
Word but hurricane starang is a vicious lead man 2 he raps circles around nighaz
Sean Price fully evolved later on in his career to shine and reinvent himself like M.F. DOOM
Buck Jones True.
Yup. Jesus Price Supastar and Mic Tyson were incredible.
Thats dead facts
Buck Jones MF Doon and Sean P were both students of Dr Malachi Z York
I would not say he reinvented himself. Buddy was always nice. He just added polish and harder bars. Now M.F. DOOM, that dude transformed into a whole new person!
I loved both, but Rock’s stood out so much more for me. So grimy and dark. Their first album is still refreshing as hell
His voice made him stand out more. On the first two HS albums, Ruck and Rock were lyrically equal. Ruck got nicer when he went solo.
#NOCTURNAL #CLASSIC Still sounds dope af 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
On Nocturnal it felt like Rock was the main dude and Ruck was the sidekick! On Magnum Force it was more like they both was the main dudes equally! But DIRT? Them niggas both shine on that album!

Vlad we need these interviews man - Biz Markie, Slick Rick, Special Ed, Grand Puba, Howie Tee, Prince Paul, Das Efx, Fu-Schnikens, Doug E Fresh, Breeze from LA Posse, Paris, Pharcyde, Mantronix, Herbie Luv Bug, Gza, Marley Marl, Whodini.
He did Marley - I think?
Facts
Canibus
Canibus is a bit of a nut, so that would be interesting.
AKAT1980 Hi Germaine.
I am indeed nutrageous.
Sean was always nice but rock stood out the most when they came out.
His voice is too intriguing
Watching these interviews is bitter sweet coz it just reminds me of how good hip hop was back then...gritty, raw..... gangsta but with intelligence and lyricism. Yeah I know there's still underground music and all that but truth is we will never have that again. First saw the Operation Lockdown video as a kid with this niggaz face painted up looking hella scary.. but the shit was just different!! Real artists with real talent!
Daniel Kelly Im from the UK... I agree our scene is strong right now although I think we may have already had our golden era
Daniel Kelly never heard of him but I'm gonna check him out... appreciate the heads up! Funny tho coz not too many guys from the UK know about Heltah Skeltah, good to see someone from our side of the water appreciating real hip hop and quality MCs 👊
GX⚡FR,You welocome.

Both them niggas helped out each other so much! It's a reason why those two clicked so perfectly! Sean also told Rock "Just rap! You do too much thinkin' of whatchu have! JUST RAP!" They both gave each other advice! #RIPSEANPRICE
I heard an interview with Sean price that said his mom convinced him to go by his government name before she died
Closed Loop Right she did! His mother was also a reason as well of why he continued to rap
In the beginning, Sean was more technical 95% of the time, Rock had the iller voice but even then he still wasn't no slouch. I'd say it was even, but they both got better as they got older.
Do more interviews like this Vlad and you will get less hate
💯💯
5 years later still missing the god. riP! Sean Price.
I'm sitting here listening to this and what rock said is so true every time I see something about Sean Price I leave this comment I met him when he came to Rochester New York and just what rock said if he spit how he act he would be the Ellis and how he act that is true to form cuz when I met him he did a double-take because he honestly thought I was a nigga he used to commit robberies with so he looked at me like dang when you get out then he looked again I owe my back but him cracking jokes him treating me like I was somebody he grew up with after he autograph some stuff he came outside and we all just sitting there talking and he telling the stories cracking jokes slapping us up like we was part of the crew even later on that night when we went to the show he on stage doing this thing took time out to point me out in the crowd and Shout me out Sean Price is real as they come as underrated as anybody my man rest in peace God MC
Ruck stood out to me even on Nocturnal. He has flow and schemes that Rock didn't have
I'd say it goes both ways, Ruck was better lyrically and Rock had a more unique style.
Im running Heltah Skeltah all damn day
I thought Ruck killed Rock on the 1st album eazy lol.
Ruck was always my favorite of the two of them
I think Ruck was quiet on the album though he did rap on all songs with Rock! I don't think he killed Rock, I just think Rock overshadowed him alittle in the album cause if you think about it? Rock lead most songs off the album!

It's so nice to see these interviews. Rock is awesome. RIP Sean P! When I grew up, the first stuff I heard from him was Monkey Barz. I was a fan right away.
I remember that time so well. Rock was everyone's favorite mc and people would laugh when you talked about Sean Price.
Grew up listening to Dis Incredible Rap Team... I guess what has made them so timeless is co-existence. Rock carried Ruck and inversely Sean P in his prime. He kept it real by motivating this Monster back to D.I>R>T Levels ( I am a Rock fan - Peep his verse on So Damn Tuff). They were more than a Duo. It's much deeper.

Rock n ruck My favorite rap duo🔥
Im also a rock fan
Yooo, (What up son?) I gotta throw Up Again 😂😂😂⚰⚰⚰. Love this Story
Triggacon Gang Leader. Real OG
On Heltah Skeltah’s first album “Nocturnal”, They had a song so nice they literally named it Sean Price.
That song on GTA3 tho...
Yeah, the Record Sean did, with Agallah {Rising To The Top}: that was one of the more memorable Songs, on the GTA 3 Soundtrack.
When I was a kid all I remember was "Everyone welcome to the gangster world of Agallah" 😂! I was too young to learn the rest of the song lol. #ripseanprice
I be never sloppy,
I be Rock see...
I rock heads from Bedrock to Yugoslavi...
Both are two of the greatest. The whole Boot Camp is great!
Rocks guidance made ruck turn 2 sean price
warnutztheloser definitely! He learned from Rock and Rock learned from him
RIP Ruck
Besides Wu-Tang Boot Camp is my second favorite
Y'all got to get that new Rock album and the last album by Sean P both joints are hot
That’s what hard work looks like
he is right,rock is loyalty dude.
Great interview
''Some move bars, my nigga Ruck move cages''
I guess I'm the only one who thought the story of Ruck giving Rock his shirt to throw up in, was HYSTERICAL. Oh well...
“What a pal”😂😂😂
Once he came with rhymes in the sidekick it was game over.
ONE DAE no bullshit lmao! I want a sidekick now I ain’t never had one 😂
Big Ruck was the Dopest yo wanna my favorite M.C's out of the B.C.C yo Rock is dope as well always his voice is unique he got Bars too
Rock got his own style Ruk got his too...equally both as good
Release the whole vid Vlad!
Billy Batts these one 10 minute videos everyday or so are killing me I feel like an addict waiting on my dealer to hit me back
The last of the interview 😂😂😂😂
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 I enjoyed this
Love this story..ain’t pretty but genuine and powerful 🔥🔥
Brownsville Lets Go!
Go back to Monkey Bars album by Sean Price. He takes about people asking him about Rock
It's called a High Riser ring and they were popular back in the days in NYC. The design is the Decepticons logo. That was a gang from Brooklyn in the 80s and early 90s that Ruck and Rock were major components of.
Mr. Black Culture yup...on "onionhead"
Right lmao! Even Rock spoke on that shit about Magnum Force before P said the shit about him "..And stop asking me why Ruck cut off his dreads" 😂! Its all proof on "The Passion of Price" he explained it..
FUCKIN ONION HEAD BASTARDS
I definitely understand what he meant by bits and pieces, but fuck, Ruck was still dope as shit on Nocturnal. That's when he became my favorite MC. Rock has one of the meanest voices in rap (along with Billy Danze IMO), but I always thought Ruck/Sean Price had the best sounding voice in the whole game. Something about it just appealed to me way back when. His verses on "Clans, Posses, Crews l, and Clicks" and "The Prowl" had me stunned. Previews of what was to come.
I was gonna say the exact same thing. Sean been nice from day 1. HS made me stop listening to Tek and Steele for a minute.
@@RazorReg i felt from Smif N Wessun Steele was the emcee and Tek was more of the hype man
I know Rock is just trying to big up his brother here but he was better than Sean P during their first wave without question. I’m talking 93-97 era. Rock was top 3 in BCC at the time with Buckshot being the #1 guy. Rock was killing all verses and features. Grate Unknown is still his best solo track. It wasn’t until later on down the line when Sean P started to find a new style and take off.
Facts. Rock's voice and unorthodox flow was a win-win during the first wave of Duck Down albums. Plus, Rock was killing every hook too.
This interview shed some mad light on the GOD , that honesty and humility ,had love and respect 4 ROC since BCC , one of the deepest voices and grimiest raps outta the east coast ,
Rip Sean price , mf doom
Thanks vlad ❤
I understand what rock said but Sean had some very ill lines on the nocturnal album. Here is some prove.
"Straight from the under, I make niggas wonder, why
I tap jaws, rock black eyes
See I, never think about things I be doing
Lives I ruin, in this here shit we pursuing
My parabellum be swelling cerebellums when ya dwelling
The Caucasoid, you void, 'cause my niggas rebellin'
Who in the hell ever, said you can dwell whether
Or not, I sever your knot, with the shots so whatever, akh
What? You don't wanna battle me, battle me, that'll be
The day my whole posse rushes your monkey ass like cattle, G
True warrior, conqueror, takin' flights, yo
Watch a nugget, I love it when niggas gone psycho"
- Sean Price -
That shit is some of the illest on point, slow flow shit I heard to this day. It still blows my mind.
To be in a group with Rock (at that time) would be impossible for anyone to stand out but you're right; Sean had hella dope verses on Nocturnal that stood out too
the one and only bummey jabb
Got a chance to see this man with Jedi Mind Tricks, Ruck was my highlight tho most the kids didn't realize how special the show was! R.I.P.
Love both but Sean always been the technically superior MC
yes ruck was the technician and rock was the outstanding voice
I disagree … Rock had the complete package when nocturnal dropped … even on Lefluh Leflah he was the standout …. Not just voice but lyrics wise … Ruck had to grow into Sean P
Both legends, rock and ruck for me on the same level
Vlad interview Canibus & also Trackmasters ,hardly any interviews of them period
yeah, if i give you my shirt to throw up in we're friends for life. And vice versa.
Man like Sean price was so dope
I finally undertand what Rock is sayin' 😎
Ruck killed every verse on Nocturnal, the fuck Vlad be talking about.
#DaWiggy
Taya'an Jr. Thats what the fuck Im saying! Ok Rocks voice has always been ice cold but Ruck from Letha brainz blo to Operation Lockdown was lyrically on a different level... vlad is a poser he only check for the artist when the spotlight is on em
Word!,
Taya'an Jr. Best album ever!
Rock is nice
Vlad tryna get that Shan carter line out. If you think thats anywhere near one of Rucks best lines then you know nothing
Kids You Tube Heltah Skeltah Freestyle. They destroyed a radio show
"Ask about BIG muthafucka ask about PUN gangsta rappers can't fight so they Rap about Guns"!!!!
Sean P was dope on that nocturnal album.
Dope!
Magnum force album was dope
Vlad, this interview is your best one!
i met P at a show in 08 nice guy quiet. some kids wanted to have a smoke cypher with them but he turned them down tellin them he doesnt smoke.
The legendary SEAN PPPPPPP!!!!!!!
Sean P is in my top 5 ever
Rock caught my attention first though, dude's style is genuis
Long Live Decepticon Sean
Price is grievous on Nocturnal from first to last. God tier quotability level.
Lyrical landlord - your fuckin rent due
Best comment I’ve ever read
Sean p massively underrated
Rock was definitely the stand out in Boot camp Click, so when they did the Chosen Few Album it just wasn't the same without him.
"Absotruthly"...
Duck Down 4 LIFE...R.I.P. Sean Price!!!!
Rock is talking about RINGSIDE in Jersey City😂😂😂😂😂
FACTS!! The BEST!!
TWO man crew next to MOP, MOBB DEEP
SMIF n WESSN

SEAN PPPPPP!!!!!
Rock got them Avon Barksdale hands
Im fascinated with that ring, obviously doesnt fit, but whats it for?
R I P sean Price
"All mc's are wack, but not son"
Ruck da shizz net.
I always like Ruck aka Sean Price better than the rest when I was a kid Rockness Monsta was my dude2tho
Heltah Skeltah Always
Rock was always better when they were doing tracks together. P was better with solo music. That's just how I feel about it.
Igotcha05 yeah gotta agree
I agree, but I need to give him props as well too! Rock was a monster on "Slapboxing"
I listen to this and Imperius Rex as a double album.
I'd always wish duo's would do this then Outkast came through! But imagine Mobb Deep did that - 1 Prodigy album and 1 Havoc album! That shit woulda been a sales monster!
And obviously Wu-Tang gotta take it to the next level with a full 9 bluray disc series collection😂
B.C.C. Allday!
It’s funny. When Heltah Skeltah was in their prime people wanted that Rock solo album. He was offered solo deals and everything. Even Starang was getting more attention then Ruck. Rock couldn’t put it together. I wonder why. Sean Price has the best catalog on Duck Down.
they both mad as eachother. twin sharks. one works of the other yin and yang. r.i.p. ruck.
Nocturnal is when discovered Sean Price and his flow was unlike any at the time... Nocturnal too me is a top ten album all time because every song is bangers
RUCK killed Nocturnal LYRICALLY….they both are dope but RUCK never disappointed. Operation Lockdown….Undastand…..Therapy……bruh…..he’s BEEN that dude!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Haaaa , this is the perfect jaaab , fuck with this boy , you rather curse ya daaad Shouts to Heltah Skeltah
At least he admits it
