EPMD - Hardcore Lyrics
(Hardcore to make the brothers act fools...)
When I turn a party out, all hands is in the air
Some say it's chill, New York throw chairs
The punk funk sound to make a sane man flip
Low to avoid the caps and blows
By the gangbanners at the B-boy shows
Wit the cops trying to control the crowd
But they can't, systems crank "So What'cha Saying"'s pumping loud
Blows are thrown, heads are flown like Pan Am
Brothers licking off like the son of Sam and
The bass continues to thump
Some brothers hit the parking lot to go pop trunks
Hoes are slapped, jewels are snatched
Brothers are caught in the cross fire without no caps
"Niggas, niggas", yeah, cold turn the party out
(Hardcore to make the brothers act fools...)
Rap combat squares sat and I attack
Any crab MC that's down wit the wack
And I wreck and if I can not snap a neck
Throw a knock, I'll blow and look for a tech
I'm terror, new edition to rap era
I can't be beat, I'm too sweet plus clever
I'm smart, yes, I'm a so called genius
I'm equip wit the thinking cap they call Keenison[?]
Yo, wit that, I can break fool
Especially when the posse is thick and got tools
Make me feel good 'cause they got steel
No blasters or cap guns son, the real deal
K-A, microphone wrecker E-D
The O, the U, the B, the L to the E
Rocking on, word is born, so abandon ship
My name is Erick Sermon now want some and I'll flip
I'm far from a chump, I'm hardcore like Brooklyn
Mess wit me and get your manhood token
(Hardcore to make the brothers act fools...)
[Redman:]
I got it goin on, since I'm up next to flex
You bet I drop heavy so girls grab your Kotex
I catch fits when I blitz a rhyme grit
And my lip gets to the point, to rip some mo' fly shit
Redman ready to rock rough rhymes
Renegade rapper, rip when it's rhyme time
Punk push a pen and pencil when I'm pissed
Pack pistol posse, flow some more pro shit
Fee-Fi-Foe-Fum, funky to floor, ay
Fuck ya freak words for foreplay
Quickly, quiet is kept, never quack
On the Q-Tip I quote, I throw lines like a quarterback
A monster, murder motherfucks like Manson
A madman, who mutilize men with 9-M-M
Bullets blow bad, brother back to back I slam
Bread and butter, break beats to Bam Bam
Jump off the jim before I jack my johnson
I jam like Janet, chew MC's like Swansons
Dennis stamp dummy, I'm diggin a dungeon
Can you dig that I dig deep, to destroy dumb-dumbs?
Yes, I yam what I yam when I jam, bro
My afro's in the house (yo yo yo!)
Long as I live large, life will be luxury
Ladies in Lamborghinis, love is like luck to me
Nasty nigga, competition is none
From Newark, New Jersey, knock heads like Mike Nunn
Shit, grab the steel when I'm strokin
Smoke with shotguns but the sign said no smokin
Cool it kiddo, I control from sea to sea
Cut like Chuckie, plus style is cock-D
Superman Lover, cool from the new school
Hold your breath, while I walk holdin my jewels
(Hardcore to make the brothers act fools...)

Real Hip-Hop!!
Brothers lickin off like the son of Sam and..
Redman's introduction to the world!
When all 3 of these cats hit the scene,rap took a new turn. Even though I think Eric and Parrish were more acknowledged in the mid 80's,Red bust on the scene and wreaked mad havoc on the mic just as well as EPMD. HELLUVA COLLABORATION on this cut and that beat is fuckin A1!
34 ppl that disliked r fans of auto tune mumble rap. Despicable.
Whole song is fire. Redman's verse still 1 of my favorites. Absolute savagery. This album, this duo, real hip hop all day baby. Grew up on this & still love it today.
One of the hardest knocking beats still. "When I turn the party out..."
He Said E D........... O U B L E
I got it going on...since I'm up next to flex, you can bet I drop heavy so girls grab ya Kotex...
PLEASE NEVER FORGET EPMD....1 OF HIP HOP GREATEST DUOS....TOP 5 HIP HOP DOUS ALONG WITH RUN-DMC and OTHERS.
So this is where Redman came from.
Redman killed it
Redman killed it.
1990, Dorm 6 at Batesville Job Corps Center every morning on some dude boombox every morning to make the wing get to breakfast on time.
EPMD kickin ass! Still! Peace to the whole hit/def squad!! Murray!! Come back dawg!#trueskool!
Honestly, you gotta keep yourself in check when listening to this. Mess around and jack somebody for no reason with this playing.

Makes my sub thump like serious bass.

One of the hardest albums ever. PMD made it look so easy and Redman's style was very unorthodox. This was when Hip-Hop reigned supreme and everyday was truly an adventure.
(Eric Sherman sold his soul to the hip hop devil) this dude say the illest most hardcore shit I ever heard
There's nobody named Eric Sherman associated with this track.
cut'em some slack Deebo.
Clifford Jordan Eric Sherman 😅😅😅😅😅
They have a show this Friday at the Hollywood Palladium with Public Enemy, Mobb Deep, Ice-T and Kurtis Blow. This is gonna be awesome..
The most sampled rap group in the history of Hip hop!
Facts and underrated also
Cool it kiddo i control from sea 2sea..still bangs
redman verse 💯💯💨💨💯💯💯. it merch
First time I ever heard Redman rap was on this song
The first time ANYONE heard Redman was on this track.i knew he was something special right away.
on Headbanger: You heard me last year,i was hardcore,now i'm hear to tear your ass out the frame
BushiBato No doubt me too
Kenneth Peterson right!!
Right, I had seen him in the "Scenario" remix video, but he didn't have a verse on the song. Actually, I'm sure he had a dope verse in his head.
He's using alliteration on this verse and it's dope as hell. I love when MC's use that style.
oooweeee! taking me back.
oooweeee! taking me back.
"Supa man luva. Cool from da new skool. Hold ya breath while I walk holdin' my jewels."dope! Damn..I miss those days..
RAQUAAHWA TheCodedtestament I chew emcees like Swanson.....
@Darnell Wilcox dinners Damn dummy I go back to back the dungeon can u dig when I dig deep to destroy dumb dumbs?!
Redman verse was a single on Whut Thee Album that's how much of an impact it made

U aint never lie big bruh,I fucked wit Naughty on that Illtown shit but Red lyrically took this rap shit to another level!
big ups to the bricks this cat is one of the illest ever
YES - I am what I am when I jam, bro <3
Man, back in the day EPMD was the bomb. Nobody was like them. They had the hardest beats. Their samples was unlike your average samples. What really made them good is they had good timing. They came out when hip-hop was still being constructed and they just threw their style in because it had never been done before it was like I`m going to follow this group because they are on a level that no one else is touching.
No doubt my favorite rap group of all time......although i like Parrish better....because i think he raps harder....anyway these boys were bad....
Gospel!
nathar40 word!!♡ one of my fav to this day bro!! 1♡

+Byron Dotson I know. Too Much Trouble with Players Choice is one of my favorite albums. I also would like to name the 5th. Ward Boyz but Lo Life left prison and joined the group (007 and E. Rock) again, so that made it three.
Damn... those were the days... where'd they go so fast?
Nice & Smooth
Still holds up.
Hip Hop yall name one group today who can come hardcore like this!!!!
M.O.P. (harder)... no offense
+B.E. P Yeah, M.O.P. is harder

Old School Best Music... Especialy for US Hip hop, cheers from France
I LOVED this song. My white-ass suburb friend and I made this cheesy home video to this song. He had the camera, so he got to be Redman. Damn.
One of my Favourite albums of all time & for me EPMD's best. This is the best track & sums up the album. I remember getting this on cassette for my birthday. Happy Dayz :)
