MC Serch

Same

... um, MC Serch from 3rd Bass.

Everybody, MC Serch.

Black cat is bad luck.

Bad guys wear black.

Kick them in the grill.

Back to the grill again, the grill again.

A track from MC Serch's solo album, Return of the Product.

And it's also the song that happens to kick off my main hip-hop playlist that currently resides on my phone right now.

From 1992's Return of the Product, MC Search, Here It Comes.

Built around a sample of the mighty James Brown from 1967's Cold Sweat, this song kicks off his debut solo album where he stepped outside of the third bass realm for the first time.

And what a statement it was.

Cube's version goes harder.

And that's zero disrespect to Korn because I love me some Nu Metal.

So if you are looking to start your own 90s hip hop workout playlist, MC Search, here it comes.

Ice Cube, Wicked.

Yeah.

It had, it had, uh, MC Search.

Uh, I remember there was a, the, it was, you know, the one chick that was, like, from New York.

She was saying "nigga" like the first episode, like, going off.

Like, they had a sp- like, they did a great job at, like, immersing them into the Black culture.

Mm.

Shout out to MC Search.

And they even recently had d- well, not recently.

We have a, a, a jazz guy that contributed to the genre.

We've got MC Serch, Billy Strayhorn, Arrogant!, which w- is an alternative rock band that started in Chapel Hill right here in North Carolina.

They have such a cool story.

And then, of course, we're giving the Lifetime Achievement Award to none other than George Clinton-

He said, "I thoroughly enjoy listening to this Dope Con again.

Also, MC Serch is a little biotch.

I hate to use the phrase culture vulture, but this dude is the definition of it.

He is such a snake that has screwed so many people over along the way, and just listening to him speak is cringe.

Did I interview him or did he just talk? I don't even remember.

But it went fucking long.

And then I interviewed Serch at his hotel in JFK, and it went super long, and you can only hear that on Patreon, the great MC Serch, who was a pioneer in hip-hop and a great dancer.

And if, if you wanna hear, uh, something great, listen to The Gas Face or Back to the Grill Again.

One of the few things, I guess, that can counteract wiggerdom.

Third Base, MC Serch and Pete Nice.

Never got into them.

Never got into them?

Yeah, that shit.

I remember the first time I actually heard the whole entire story of that was a shout out to MC Search when he was on 1F.

And they had asked him about Doom because, you know, Dante Ross signed KMD.

And the first time you ever heard any of them, though, was on third base on the gas face.

It was a super treat.

His name is MC Serch.

His group was 3rd Bass.

MC Serch, come on up.

[laughs]

[upbeat music] Thank you for having me.

Yes, sir.

And, uh, MC Serch, last-minute addition to Dopeycon-
