Diamond D Appreciation Thread

That lines that goes:

"I hop to it like a kangaroo"

always makes me snicker.


D is/was one of the dopest...
 
I agree with all the props given to Diamond in this thread, and I'd further like to add that he's the man for making a hook out of:

"Although I hit a pound of herb I'm still nice with the verbs...so fuck what'cha heard!"
 
I agree with all the props given...

Yo me and my man Bee was at the Record Exchange in the early 90's looking for a record by Lloyd Lindsay Young called "Hello"... I felt like such a dick when I figured that one out.

I remember that video, only saw it like twice. It was a Lord Finesse track.
Here's a Diamond D sleeper track: the remix he did for that song from the Panther Soundtrack: flips the heck outta these Milt Jackson vibes and then blends in the "NT" horns..incredible.

Does anyone have a copy of the video for F- What You Heard that they made with some leftover budget money? DITC chillin' on a ferry smoking blunts if I remember my Rap City correctly. Only copy I had got cut off by the usual god damn ad for AC LIMOSUINE (who the hell were the providing transportation for, prince dejour?) Anyways, I lost that VHS over the years regardless.
 
ive got copies of just about every video that came on rapcity/ yo from 89-95. just transferred em to dvd too...

Stunts, Blunts, and Hip-Hop was one of the first hip-hop cassettes I ever bought.
