WE FROM DALLAS covers the rise of hip hop culture in Dallas from the early days of KNON radio, to the golden era of Deep Ellum and the rise of the southern rap culture. Including interviews with the heroes and legends that made it all possible-DJ's, producers, emcees, b-boys, graffiti artists-this documentary leaves no stone unturned. For the first time, all the architects of Dallas hip-hop are brought together in a feature length documentary to speak about their city, the music, the fans and to proudly proclaim: WE FROM DALLAS.

DONT FORGET THE GRAND PRAIRIE CREW LANCE ROMANCE, DJ STEVE , EMANUAL MUSIC , DOMINIQUE, DJ LEMONADE AND SOUTH DALLAS C.A.B. - WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST RAP SINGLES INDEPENDENTLY DISTRIBUTED IN DALLAS THEN THE STATE OF TEXAS WITH THE 1988 LANCE ROMANCE SINGLE- TOUCH OF ROMANCE / BROTHER WITH SOUL - WE NEED A PART 2 TO THIS DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS OF DALLAS TEXAS... THIS IS REALLY A GREAT DOCUMENTARY COVERING ALL ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP BUT PART 2 CAN DISCUSS THE MARKETING, ADVERTISING, PROMOTION, BRANDING, DISTRIBUTION AND MOST IMPORTANTLY MUSIC PUBLISHING. - MUCH RESPECT ✊🏽 TO ALL OF DALLAS DFW, AND ALL OF MY PEOPLE AND ARTIST ALL OVER TEXAS - 11/25/20 LANCE ROMANCE 😊
Are you Lance Romance? If so, I think I remember the day you came to Big State Records to talk to Noble Womble about distributing your record. I was packing records in the warehouse just outside the front desk where Snake and other local DJs would come to buy new 12"s.
And about promoting, dang right there should be a history about it. Not sure why I wasn't contacted about this doc when it was being made. I'd been at KNON beginning in June 1986, then 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 promoted the Left and Right Shoe MC's out of Ft. Worth and got them played in England and France and they were the first rap group to play Deep Ellum in 1988.
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.
Shout out to the Dallas Hip Hop scene and its impression on the culture 🫡
15 minutes in and already hooked. I discovered rap hip hop r&b around 1994 the same year Jason Kidd was rookie of the year. This is superdope.
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
Thank you for sending me the link Pik. Love this representation of my beautiful city.
damn this was perfect
Glad to have been part of this documentary and Dallas Hip-Hop history. Thank you for having me 1:03.
DOPE. FROM SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA
Shout to the FRP productions camp willie fresh roc d..yall made me the Dj I am today bless...trill still..
MC 900 Ft Jesus y'all, he comes to mind when I hear Dallas.
True. He wasn’t really THAT big, but if 50 people went to an MC 900 ft Jesus show, he would automatically become Mt Jesus. (Bc they have 2 feet a piece!)
I remember his video being played on Beavis and Butthead
We asked him to be interviewed but he wasn't interested in being in camera. We got to chat with him about a lot tho!
@@juliangregg6507 Wasn't that big? He was all over MTV for a while. I saw him a few times in Houston back in 89 and early 90s. They used to play his song "Too Bad" all over the clubs in Houston back then.
@@Liquidmice9 That was a 900 ft joke. The second part was a 900 feet joke.
Highland Hills, TX HHP 💥
Yay!
Shout out to (u know who) rapp group from Dallas.
They were first the Kangol Crew, correct? Or is that totally a different group? My mind is not as sharp as it once was :)
What happened to Cisco soul and the party patrol/along with DJ ice tee( knon) family.
Love this documentary, this was all good, cold kris amaze me of his knowledge of the dance groups,when he said the wizards which consist of David manning, curtis Benjamin and David Simmons,(the wizards)
Great documentary 1love
Very dope. Cool to see all the old footage from back in the day.
This is dope it was the era I grew up in.
All of this is completely new to me and I think its fantastic! what a fantastic documentary!
Thank you for putting this out on CZcams and all the Pioneers from our city thank you for to make Dallas hip-hop for what it is now I love my city peace out
Just as good today, as ot was premiere night at the Angelic Theather! Thanks for the memories!
Nice. Represent!! High quality.
Later on curtis Benjamin join the Rocket Pro's dance group. Then graduate to rapp,then join the Fila Fresh crew".
Real Talk ju know yo shit
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.

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!
Finally i can let my momma watch me in The We From Dallas Documentary glad yall uploaded it #PiKaHsSo

I guess there is one more documentry to make...I call it FROM NY TO TX....I LIKED THE PART ABOUT EXODUS... REASON MY LABEL IS CALLED EXODUS LABB TO KEEP THOSE MEMORIES ALIVE..SO THOSE WHO WERE THERE ..WHO APPARENTLY WAS A PART OF EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT EXODUS AND THE SCENE..WHO WAS DOPE..ETC ETC.JUST ONE CORRECTION...RIP MIXX MASTER JEFF IM SURE YOU BEING A BIG PART...WAS IMPORTANT...SORRY YOU WASN'T MENTIONED....THANK EZ ED FOR PRODUCING MY GROUP...TY FOR BEING OUR ENGINEER...DOWN BY SOUND IM PROUD TO HAVE BEEN APART OF THAT..IT WAS LIKE LOOKING AT MY LIFE ...BUT NOT BEING IN IT....SO FUNKTACTICS!!! WOULD LIKE THE NEW ERA..TO KNOW BACK THEN WAS GREAT TIMES.. ESPECIALLY ALL THE HEADS BLUNT DENTED😁..THE CRAZY PUERTO RICANS WAS PROUD TO BRING THAT NY HARLEM SHIT TO DALLAS....MIXX MASTER JEFF WE LOVE YOU... PEACE N BLESSINGS...I THINK I'LL DO A DOCUMENTRY MYSELF... GOOD JOB GUY'S ..
Im si thankful i had a chance to rock @ the exodus
Funktactics was/is dope! I liked the film, but of course we know it’s not an all inclusive history of Dallas Hip Hop. Couldn’t put almost 40 years in 90 min. But they did a good job in both showing our history and represented hip hop, in general, well; I think.
EXACTLY - LANCE ROMANCE NEW YORK SOUTH BRONX TO DALLAS- ONE OF THE FIRST RAP ARTIST WITH A RECORD IN THE STORE - TOUCH OF ROMANCE / BROTHER WITH SOUL
Big Up's for the respect...☝🏾 our future plans is to do a part two...
Mixx Master Jeff was a good guy. I hung out a few times with he, his wife Sweet Dee, I thought her name started with a "B"), and Baby G. I still have a pic of he, his wife and Baby G in an elevator, looking cool, at the office building where MCA was located. We had gone there to score some records from the promoter (Omar) I think.
No mention whatsoever of Oak Cliff Assassin or Lockdown Records....interesting 🤔
We've talked to Oak Cliff assassin...
What is the very first song being played in the beginning of the doc? I need to know, it was so dope! Peace from Oakland.
I guess I'm from the moon then🙄
That is sad. My first Friday at KNON, you were there, it was around the time of "Girlies." Willie Fressh (I think it was just one s back then) drove me, you and Scratchmaster (Fernando) home. Took you home first at some apartments near Loop 12 Ledbetter area. We went inside with you and you apologized for the mess saying, "It's just hip hop style." : ) Hope you're doing well.
history!
i remember recording tapes off the radio of eddie d on saterday night.back in 98. good documentary.shout outs from Oak Cliff.12th and Van Buren
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.
Trendsetter?! If I'm correct.
@@Docc13 Facts. Dallas didn’t jump on it because the city had several things going on at once. Several styles etc. Several hip hop crews trying to come up in different neighborhoods; several DJ;s.
@@breynoldssr3703 so much to learn about Dallas hip hop
@@Docc13 deeper than what we think
@@breynoldssr3703 I believe it
I'm really happy to see this , I Love a great history lesson.
This is really good. Learned a lot!
Nice!! So many memories from back in the day. Z=mc2 #thegodmother #irresistible
Great documentary
Great documentary. I hope in part 2 Kuwn Dalini is mentioned and what he did for the city.
R.I.P. Minus
dope documentary
Good stuff
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
So true...
Well done...
Dallas BBoying Forever! Word up to my Bboy Brothers original A-Tribe, Suicide Tribe. If you know you know PG had it popping!
This 2 dope
Very.cool film
I went to see this at the premier, but was turned away. Now I’m just turned up.!
R.I.P "Minus Wun" on the painting intro @ 1:05.
We did something like this 2013
DJ SNAKE. NEMESIS. RON C.
I saw DJ Zero but no MC 900 Ft Jesus(Mark Griffin)? How can you have a documentary about Dallas rap and not even mention him? Great documentary though. I still have several of these artist on vinyl and cassette.
What up ez Eddie Dee and my man nippy Jones big Larry dtown for life
EZ Eddie D is my guy. And I remember hanging with Nippy Jones at KNON. Let's not forget Highly Dangerous!
Nemesis - Munchies for your Bass
This was good but I have one question... Where is Limp Leg??? That dude is the epitome of Dallas hiphop. I would have liked to see Limp Leg. Please interview him in next Doc.
Can we get a list of all the artists in the doc put in the comments section please! Prolly will help the bots also.
Just finished the entire film. Good job guys. Wish Eddie had finished telling that Insane Clown Posse story.... it's a good story.
Part 2 please include Grasshouse Muzic
Part two is Part of the plan, we just need funding...
@@wefromdallas1559 your are right, funding is the key. I hope you get it, and I would love to help you track down artists.
How much do you charge for documentaries?
Im going to stay mad because I was not included, pshhhh whatever stilll like it
MINUS WON!! INFINITE CREW ♾️ TWOWONFOUR AFW. "WHAT DID BRUCE LEE ORDER AT BURGER KING?"
-WHOPPPPPPPA!!!!"🤚🤚
Ya'll tripping. Where's DJ Deshay ? He put that PUNK Vanilla Ice on and now Vanilla LICE acts like he doesn't know him. Where is HE (Deshay) in this video ?
Much respect, and whoever made this documentary, I'm gonna keep it 100. They don't know too much about Dallas hip-hop. They pretty much mention a lot of people that white people know or radio peps, not real street people or real street. D j's, I'm just saying.
Only thing missing is tha D-Town Boogie
part two...
@@wefromdallas1559 Part two of what ?
A lot of missing pieces from here
Knon left out Cisco soul,,,she was one of the only djs taht played hip hop,,,,,,,,
Yep, wasn't that 2-6 am on Saturdays or something like that? I have a couple tapes with her show. EZ Eddie D, Master Mixer, Scratchmaster, love those tapes from summer 1984.
