We always been there, we just didn't get recognized. Philly is a city that grew up on gangsters and the Mob and shit like that. That's what Philly's about. Philly is a ghetto city. Ain't nothing glamorous about Philadelphia at all. To compare Philly to New York, I don't think you could compare the two at all.

Black Eyed Peas
No matter if it’s Snoop Doggy Dogg or X Clan or Black Eyed Peas or Mos Def. It’s all Hip Hop. There’s nothing wrong with Hip Hop. They just choose to express themselves in a different way and they have their vision of what their life is; we have our vision of what our world is.

Dayton Family
The album went gold, but it woulda went platinum if we had done more shows.  F.B.I. went gold just off word of mouth and bein in the stores, and the hype of the commercials. No videos, nothing. They just put the shit in the stores and that shit just shot the fuck off.

Ghetto E
Some songs they sent back. They said were a little too outrageous, a little too hardcore.  Don’t nobody like being told what to do on their shit…They know what they want to hear. You be pissed off but you gotta bend though.

It's like this, I came from nothing and never had nothing. When I signed my contract I was 19 years-old on the run and I didn't give a fuck about lawyers and all that shit. I was a youngster and came in blind- didn't know nothing about the game. So I had to learn from experience.

Big Oomp
Then came me startin to put out album after album. We're the one who crunked up the underground out here. It started off in 1991 with mix CD's with DJ Jelly and MC Assault.  And then opened some record stores.  After the record stores, in 1997, I started up Big Oomp Records, which is the record label.

Mob Deep
I go for them dark samples, records, dark drums. I go for the drums that can touch the lower soul. They can touch your inner soul. Those are the drums that I like — not just regular drums. –Havoc

Psycho Drama
It's not about the rap industry, it's about the music. It's just like we were called by someone somewhere far away to do this, what we doing right now. It's like that's the feeling that we come with. Everytime we speaking about something.
