Never heard of them. Are they better then Drake? Then i will check it.
dude you crazy… if you mean this serious it really makes me sad… prt are lightyears ahead of drake..
and it’s really sad that nobody on this shitpage cares about the death of a legendary genius. R.I.P DJ FATHER SHAHEED !!
I Care…..the horns to “Shaquila” was the soundtrack of me coming home from school. My favorite PRT record was “Easy Star” no one ever mentions that record. The baseline was extra gangsta & Father Shaheed had the crowd amped jumping up & down in the name of Hip Hop. Most people who comment here were introduced to Hip Hop after watching 8 Mile or their black roommate in college. We didn’t grow up with these people who comment on here, so we can’t expect them to have lived the Hip Hop we did. They do t have a DJ EZ Rock or a Father Shaheed who orchestrated the soundtrack of their life, hell he who comments on the internet can’t even name 5 records they enjoyed 5 years ago that had an impact like “Rock This Funky Joint” or “It Takes Two”. So on behalf of what’s left of Hip Hop, we salute our fallen soldiers who grew us in Hip Hop.
Gotta realize half of the readers were not born when Rock dis funky joint or time to say Peace…jams that will still rock a old school party were out..My young bul who raps had no idea who Jeru the Damaja was so I schooled him…we gotta teach the babies Knowledge Wisdom and Understanding”…
NO PRT, there will be no Drake, them cat break down door for this wack ass rapper that call them self doing real hip hop
No. Drake owns them in the booth, and actually would have liked to employ them to wash his cars.
Man, RIP!
PRT was one of the most underrated conscious groups of the 90s. One thing that made them hot was they spit intellect over dope ass beats. A lot of these conscious groups might as well go accapella because the production is weak. Peace to Digable Planets too
who this no name rapper? #FOREVERPOOR
Dumb ass person show you nothing about the culture
Prt was one of the best groups ever in Hip Hop!!R.I.P brotha!
“Gotta realize half of the readers were not born when Rock dis funky joint or time to say Peace”
^ true
but that doesn’t give them the green light to be disrespectful and ignorant
I said this many times before, many of these kids are not our young, but the target demographic who have no wish to uphold the culture or understand the history
Co-sign, and to add-on Wise Intelligent would run circles around their favorite rapper i.e. ElMvis
if Chief Keef died the article would get 1000 posts.
R.I.P
