Had the pleasure, yesterday, of debating six new school Hip Hop fans, with my position being that my era of music was better than what’s current. At the end a push-up competition broke out between me and one of the debaters (he was 28, I’m 57) here’s what happened.

Brand Nubian "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down" released October 29, 1992 on Elektra Records and produced by Diamond D. This was the lead single off their sophomore album In God We Trust. With the departure of Grand Puba many felt pessimistic about Lord Jamar & Sadat X's decision moving forward and keeping the name. Puba was clearly the lead and creator of their successful sound so how can the 2 underdogs prevail ? "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down" was a big "F**k You" to everyone. The duo came back swinging, literally. Sadat opens his verse perfectly an address's the elephant in the room "About The Nubian Reign Had Fallin". And for next 1:15 his pen gives a top tier verse chock full of quotables thats still potent 34 years later. As for Lord Jamar? He was equally as furious with the naysayers and delivers the death blow "Watch How Rass-Clot You Catch A Speed Not / Heed Not / And Hell Will Be Your Home / Lord Jamar, Sadat As We Swell Your Dome". This cassette I'm showcasing is a Mint - Near Mint sealed OG copy. Thanks for looking. @lordjamar@sadatxbrandnubian@official_brand_nubian #DiamondD #Ditc #instagood #90sera #90sfashion
