Diamond D Appreciation Thread

[tripledouble]

all this appreciation, but did any of you guys buy any of his last like 5 albums?





...Didnt think so.


Did anyone even listen to grown man music?

I like diamond though. Dude filtered mad basslines in his day.

I liked "Grown Man Talk" too. I've been wanting to flip that Marvin Gaye sample ("Just to Keep You Satisfied") for years, but never did (too obvious, I guess).

Peace,

anybody remember a cat named Shorty long...had a vid called Shorty doin his own thang....the beat was bananas and featured the whole ditc crew...ive never come across the 12" though im sure it exists...couldve been a buckwild production...

Yeah, that 12" is dope. It was released in '94, I think.. has 'Shorty's Doin' (sampling Sadat X from the '... Shit Is Real' 12", I think? "Shorty's doin' his own thing, the man with the knife...") on one side and 'My Peoples' on the flip. As mentioned above, it's a Finesse beat on 'Shorty's Doin'.
The single was reissued/booted a few years back, so should turn up pretty easily.

He also did a follow-up single (You know It's Good Baby/Let's Get It All) a few years on, produced by Mike Smooth (Finesse's DJ).

As for Diamond... well... anything from him (and DITC) pre-95 was something I'd buy without even having to listen to it beforehand. His first album blew me away, completely. Took me years to cop the vinyl of that one.
I have the official promo VHS of 'Best Kept Secret' somewhere at home. I'll try and find it!

anyone got the "big red" 12?

I got one of them a while back... there are about three different bootleg pressings of that, so watch out for the 'MASTERDISK' stamp on the runout...
I always liked that 12", even though 'Created A Monster' seems about two verses too long. Diamond's verse on 'How They Want It' is nice too.
