Definitely his first album is the best. Stunts blunts ect.. You could play it from start to finish without skipping a track. I was into the whole DITC thing in the early 90's with Lord Finesse and Showbiz & AG. I don't think they ever bettered that 91-93 period. But the first track i heard he did was Finesses's Funky Technician. I didn't know he was the producer until later.
Best kept secret. When I heard Stunts Blunts and Hip-Hop I was hooked. I didn't even realize until I got that CD later that he was on ATCQ "The Bizness" w/Sadat X. All the joints in this one were super nostalgic for me. I love The Crusaders, too. I had one Jazz Crusaders record but I haven't seen that one. My crew was going to get to open for a bunch of our Old School heroes in 1994-95 at this international tour that Zulu Nation was a part of called "Back To The Essence" Hip-Hop tour. It was supposed to celebrate 20 years of Hip-Hop and everybody got Visa's to go overseas in my crew but me. At the last minute the tour fell apart because Showbiz and A.G. (or one or the other of them) couldn't leave the country because of a murder trial. I'm not saying they killed anybody. But Zulu Nation pulled the funding for the transportation to the first gig overseas bc they were the only Zulu Nation group on that leg of the tour and the whole rest of the dates were supposed to be financed by the first round of shows in England! So maybe they did kill that tour and my childhood dreams of getting to rap with Kool Moe Dee and The Jungle Brothers, but I don't know if they had anything to do with the death of their manger. I did get to open for The Alkaholiks and Masta Ace one night and then ironically got hit by a drunk driver on the way home. Thats the story of how I bought my EPS!
NO doubt. Thanks for making videos about the stuff I like! Diamond D did a good project with the emcee Dillon recently that is pretty dope. Maybe you'll get to it if you do a part II.@@DJFurio
Furio I'd love to see a part II. Diamond D deserves it he's one of the greats. The whole Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop album is a production masterpiece. But you hit on my favorite that Dove sample from Cymande on "The Score" is epic. My favorite track on that album.
To add to my previous comment. For me three stand outs on Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop are: Best Kept Secret, Check One Two and the incredible Sally got a One Track Mind!
I deeply love Diamond D beats, but I think you don’t have his best on this video. He’s a monster. He’s one of my absolute favorites. Peace to Diamond. You have changed so many of us…
I had the absolute pleasure to sit and talk with Diamond D 2xs in Charlotte NC for a beat battle. He is just as authentic as his music!!!! Thank you for the dope hiphop contribution
I know that some of his records did not contain samples per say. They were just taken as notes from multiple songs built into a tune. Very hard to get a law suit that way, very clever skills.
very curious as to what you mean by "taken as notes from various built into a tune." as in, replayed riffs/lines that are added to the track along with original ideas? or something else?
Great video! Diamond D is a national treasure when it comes to producers. 2 of my favorite tracks that you didn't mentioned, (maybe in part 2) were "Sally's Got A One Track Mind" & "Day One" by D.I.T.C., which he is apart of. Keep up the good work!
That charles Wright sample..sounds like ("Rock rock yall?") from ATCQ the love movement i think but pitched way down, and mos def (yasin bey) was on it.
Before i pressed play, i read the title n the first beat that popped in my head was NEXT LEVEL BY ALKAHOLIKS. I love that beat. It definitely gets overlooked when Diamond D is mentioned. I still have the cassette for his 1st album. Start to finish, never skip. 5 Mics classic.
I'd say just like L.E.S. highly underrated maybe and maybe even slept on a tiny bit also. However, he is my favourite producer on the mic! (Asides from Necro that is, lol). I'm sure he firstly went by the name Diamond D before eventually dropping the D ? Going by now, just Diamond ? Edit: Yes we need a part 2 ASAP and make them longer, lol.
He definitely went by Diamond to start with. Look at the cover for Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop. It just says Diamond. And then his 2022 album The Rear View has Diamond D. As far as making them longer, probably not. I know how long the majority of people watch for and around 8 minutes is the best length to make.
Thanks for reminding me about that Hawaii Five-O sample I'm going to rework that or else just use the fat Joe instrumental cuz he had some real basic lyrics on that I'm going to catch wreck onnat byhct. You got some decent beats mate I'm assuming you don't put your best online because some of them are average but I mean I like your style bloke could be a bit more experimental instead of all standard boom bap.
Damn never new Diamond D did that EDo G track. By the way Diamond D his original name is Diamond D but there was some other guy that had copyrighted that name and so he eventually dropped the D which I never would have you can't copyright the letter D man come on man.
It's about time i seen something on here about Diamond D ditc crew producers he told all of us he was the best kept secret that shorty has a 1 track mind is fire
Love the sample breakdowns. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Brand Nubian changed their lyrics on "Punks Jump Up To Get Beatdown" for their best of .They just used the radio edit from 92 where Sadat rhymes "I can flee fly flow, rip up a party".Instead of "f#ck up a F#@@O1"
@@DJFurio Maybe because the radio/video version is a fan favorite. Sadat and Jamar's cadence is much better. Their's also those classic one liners "Check It Out Now". In my opinion, it outweighs the dirty version.
@@DJFurio ahhhh thanks for the quick reply. No, my fault for not listening through the whole track! My fave Monch track, great video sir and keep up the great work.
As much as Diamond dissed old school equipment I get it now that you don't need certain pieces to make dope shit . Unless your going after a particular sound .
The Hiatus is not from his "solo debut album"(Stunt, Blunt & Hip HOP). It is from Hatred Passion & Infidelity, his second album. You can hear it by the way it's sound...
@@DJFurio NOPE. The psychotic Neurotics is a crew that helped along the D.I.T.C but this is definitely his first solo album. Diamond D said it in numerous Itws. It’s like saying that Iron Man is not the first Gostface solo cause of reakwon & Cappadona…
@@DJFurio if u do a part 2 id like you to touch on The Diam Piece 1 & 2 albums and the Gotham album i produced for talib kweli...if u find any of the samples used on those 3 LPs 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

Absolutely no idea what you are talking about. And his name is Lord Jamar not Lord Jamal so at least use the right name. Clearly didn’t listen to what I said as I mentioned it included members such as Puba and Sadat X. I didn’t mention Alamo either or DJ Sincere.

What is that beat @ 6:46? That schlit is fire
Here’s a link to it djfurio.bandcamp.com/track/bt1-024
Yo man thank you. I'm definitely checking out this site and see what it is
Diamond D... Highly Underrated.
He’s a great producer
Underrated by who? Literally won a grammy and all people involved in the industry respect him. Stop it.
Everyone says everything is underrated
Stunts Blunts and Hiphop is one of the very few albumbs that goes front to back with no skipping - still sounds fresh
It’s a great album
Definitely his first album is the best. Stunts blunts ect.. You could play it from start to finish without skipping a track. I was into the whole DITC thing in the early 90's with Lord Finesse and Showbiz & AG. I don't think they ever bettered that 91-93 period. But the first track i heard he did was Finesses's Funky Technician. I didn't know he was the producer until later.
Great album ..No skips...none
I consider it to be one of the best 'produced' albums in hip hop. The beats are bananas.
Top Tier producer...Its not up for debate...Diamond D stay consistent...
Best kept secret. When I heard Stunts Blunts and Hip-Hop I was hooked. I didn't even realize until I got that CD later that he was on ATCQ "The Bizness" w/Sadat X.

Diamond D always made some of the dopest tracks in 90’s hip hop
Definitely
The Hiatus is 1 of my favorite songs.
I really like it
RIP DJ FURIO. My sincere condolences to your family. You will be missed.
Pampering us with ample , examples of incredible samples your excellence . D.I.T.C you can feel it !
I did a short D.I.T.C. sample video a while ago czcams.com/video/ItvoK_TU3AI/video.htmlsi=lonmLUB8DWxlao_M
Great video!! Can’t believe you left out Ras Kass - Soul On Ice Diamond D remix! That one goes Hard!! 🫡
David Axelrod sample. Almost used it at the end but would make the video too long for most viewers.
@@DJFurio understandable. Maybe you can add it to part 2. Stay up and much respect 🫡
Will do
Furio I'd love to see a part II. Diamond D deserves it he's one of the greats. The whole Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop album is a production masterpiece. But you hit on my favorite that Dove sample from Cymande on "The Score" is epic. My favorite track on that album.
I may do another part at some time
To add to my previous comment. For me three stand outs on Stunts, Blunts & Hip Hop are: Best Kept Secret, Check One Two and the incredible Sally got a One Track Mind!
Diamond D has ALWAYS came with that flavor
Definitely

Boom Bap is Diamond D!
Stunts,blunts,hip hop. Was on it back then.
Great album
Flawless my man. It’s good to see the uk knowledge of 90s classic hip hop is still alive and kicking. Much respect.
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Groupie Therapy to me is a masterpiece beat.
He is an element of hip hop stunt blunts and hip hop who else to do it diamond an element , one of them

One of the best ever
Diamond D likes guitar samples.
Definitely
That charles Wright sample..sounds like ("Rock rock yall?") from ATCQ the love movement i think but pitched way down, and mos def (yasin bey) was on it.
Yes they took the sample from the start of the track
My dude Diamond D love him
He’s a great producer
Fantastic video, Furio!
I’m glad you like it. Thanks

I was JUST thinking about “The Hiatus” this morning and wondered about the sample, now I see this.
I’m glad I could help
Its your thang was used By De La Douk first in Pos' verse on Bitties in the BK Lounge.
Gotta love autocorrect 🤣 And yes it’s been sampled many times
I'd say just like L.E.S. highly underrated maybe and maybe even slept on a tiny bit also.

Top 5 on my list of Producers. Ahead of his time!!
Word is Bond Diamond D Remix
That face it boy sample was also used for a joint featuring snagglepuss and brand Nubian step into the cypher
Yes it’s been used quite a few different times

It’s from Alvina by John Handy
One of the best to do it
He is
I been really getting into his stuff
Great producer
The Light production is insane, so clever.
Anyone know where the strings are sampled from?!
They are from further on in the Wes Montgomery track. I should have shown that part as well I suppose.
@@DJFurio ahhhh thanks for the quick reply. No, my fault for not listening through the whole track! My fave Monch track, great video sir and keep up the great work.

The More Peas same was used bby EVERYONE in 1991.
Definitely the year for sampling that track
it was 1st sampled by the 45 king in the late 80s for gang starr's "bust a move"...but i was the 1st one to sample the bassline at the end of the song
Before Preemo was part of them
Do a video on "Tricky" he is a dope producer very very underrated.....

I REMEMBER BACK AROUND 1993 DIAMOND D AND BIGGIE SMALLS COULDN'T USE THEIR NAMES (IN PRINT) BECAUSE 2 PEOPLE HAD THEM COPY WRITTEN AT THE TIME..
MAYBE IT WAS 1992..
Could well be
He was always Diamond D but someone had the name when he first came out
Ah ok
this is true but i never heard of dude before...this is why i credited that LP to Diamond & The Psychotic Neurotics
If you count songs he co-produced, I Went For Mine / NY Shit or 10 other songs from Stunts Blunts and Hip Hop, classic material.
Definitely. I only showed tracks he produced alone for this particular video.
i gave co production credit to the ones who gave me the vinyls to sample back then (45 king, lakim shabazz & large pro) but i did the actual production. Qtip gave me the bassline on cassette and i crafted the K.I.S.S. from that.
I miss helly hansen apparell
the horns are from west side story sound track!
Do you know for certain? And which track?
If you by the soundtrack it might one of the songs for the white gang !
All of my records are in storage.
@theoutabodies5653 I’ve had a listen and I can’t spot the sample
ive never sampled ANYTHING from west side story 😂
2:23 what’s the sample ?
I can’t remember without loading it up into my MPC. Here’s a link to my track djfurio.bandcamp.com/track/rhode-island
Yo we ain't gonna just skip by the Brand Nubian take you got something against Lord Jarmal? 😒
Absolutely no idea what you are talking about. And his name is Lord Jamar not Lord Jamal so at least use the right name. Clearly didn’t listen to what I said as I mentioned it included members such as Puba and Sadat X. I didn’t mention Alamo either or DJ Sincere.
