Video Summary:
Part 2 of 2: A legend from New York’s infamous Queensbridge housing projects, Blaq Poet first gained notoriety back in 1987 during the Bridge wars when he attacked KRS-One on the song “Beat You Down.” This was the first of a career riddled with taking shots at made rappers including T La Rock, Kool Moe Dee, Melle Mel, LL Cool J, Rakim and the Ultramagnetic MC’s the following year on “All Hell’s Breaking Loose.” That track cemented Blaq Poet’s legacy as hip-hop’s villain long before 50 Cent went at industry greats on “How To Rob.” Blaq Po speaks on who he would aim at with a diss track in 2009 along with what it was like recording at Marley Marls’ original house of hits on 12th Street in Queensbridge.
