This is a weird one. The cynical part of my brain tells me that Marley Marl is deliberately messing with Ced-Gee and the crew here, as he acts as if he’s never heard an Ultramagnetic record before in his life – despite the fact that they’ve been making some serious noise since 1986 with ‘Ego Trippin’, ‘Ease Back’ and ‘Funky’. Could it be that he’s fronting because they were from The Bronx and tight with BDP? Or was Marley simply too busy making records at the time to pay attention to the competition? Either way, we get an exclusive Kool Keith freestyle out of it so it’s all worthwhile.
Marley is such a fxcking clown on this clip.
Marley probably fronting cause he knew Ced was responsible for the “Bridge is Over” and all that firepower on the “Criminal Minded” LP.
There will never be another Kool Keith
