3rd Bass feat. Zev Love X of KMD - "The Gas Face"

Posted on May 25, 2006 12:00 PM

We're giving you bitches jewelry here. This is like a pearl necklace in your life!

Come on. Seriously. Where else you gonna peep that 3rd Bass classic shit? This week's throwback? None other than the motherfuckin "Gas Face." [watch it now] This video marked the first time I saw a white rapper that wasn't either:

A. On Nickelodeon
B. Making a complete ass of himself and the genre
C. A Beastie Boy

Pop went the weasel, but these white boys kept it pretty thorough.

Doug E. Doug (not Tracy Chapman) is on that coke.

"The Gas Face" became one of my favorite videos as soon as my little young ass figured out what was going on. I was initially glued to it because there were a lot of name-dropping and cameos. Even back then I thought Flavor Flav looked like he was suckin the glass dick. I mean... he's got the glass face.

We must appreciate MC Serch, a forgotten hero of hip-hop lore and perennial champion of the Negro cause. Somehow his white ass even manages to get a hi-top going. Back when niggas were getting messages carved into their heads, that "3rd Bass" on the back of his was killin 'em out there.

Do you guys know who Zev Love X is? Let me help you out. The nigga wears a mask now and thinks he's a Marvel Comics super-villain. Trippin off the beat kinda, drippin off the meat-grinder...

This is back when corny, bubble-gum pop shit was perceived as exploitation and got straight shitted on, and rightfully so. Damn, Dante Ross and Everlast have been getting shit on since the 80s. This is back when rap beef was a lot more intricate, meaningful and thoughtful than today.

"Why are you beefing with [insert contemporary rapper name here]?"

"Oh, that nigga think his money long like mine. Fuck that. I gotta let the world know... ain't NOBODY gettin PAPER like me! All these hatin'-ass, bum-ass, no-money-getting-ass niggas need to get the fuck up out the game and let real niggas get that motherfuckin MONEY!.. And... he ain't no motherfuckin GANGSTA! His ghetto report card empty! Nah'm sane?"

Yes, I know exactly what you're sane.

For homework, go find the Vanilla Ice eulogy "Pop Goes the Weasel."

  • WOOT!

    Good lookin out Ronnie!!

    CLASSIC!

    This shit really brings a tear to my eye...like that old commericial of the crying Indian.

    Oh how HIPHOP has changed. I weep.

  • Wow.

    "Brooklyn-Queens" was my favorite shit. I think Young Black Teenagers heard Search's verse and decided to come up with that whole concept.

    Biggest Frauds:
    'Nilla Ice
    Snow
    YBT
    Color Me Badd (the lead you just knew was a brotha)

    I always thought it was crazy when everyone called Hammer a sellout and he did more for the hood than most rappers.

    Now every rap dude has background dancers, live bands and endorsement deals.

  • I can't believe I used to wear my hair like that. Where the hellis Pete Nice? Didn't him and Search have "beef" after they broke up? I need to know. Peace Naj, willyj and Ronnie Mexx

  • Peace. Willyj. Hip hop is just like haircuts. I bet we could name a hairstyle for each stage of hip-hop. Remember "Attack Of The Baldheads" with Onyx,Redhead Kingpin (whoa) and the flattop or Curtis "Blow" (haha) with the wet curls? Hip-hop is crazy.

  • Whoa!

    That's all I can say. The Cactus Album was dope.

    Kids you have just witnessed where the mean mug, ice grill, screw face, all of that shit became mainstream.

    Good looking on this one Mex.

  • The Biggest frauds EVER were Mili Vanili! "Girl You know it's True, ohh, ohh, ohh, I love you" getdafuckouttahere with that trash. Naj, did you get extensions during the Mili Vanili era? (lol) You know you my dog, Naj. I just gotta know.....

    I know you digg that old school special ed, i do too, but damn.. you could'nt find ANYthing funny to say about at least Viktor's glasses?

  • May 25, 2006 11:45 AM
  • Meccadon says...
  • The S-Curl????? LMAO!!! That was when catz were tryin to get the "Al B. Sure" look. I tried that shit and it turned my hair orange and straight. I had to dye it jet black to get back right. Wow, you took me back with that one willyj.

  • May 25, 2006 11:48 AM
  • Naj says...
  • What's good fellas...
    Lookin back a nigga had some questionable taste. Being in Cali in the 80's my mom never let me get a jheri curl-that meant washing pillow cases and upholstery over and over.

    Milli Vanilli?...
    Nah...but I did get the jawns when Mystikal blew up...We had all just seen Menace II Society the summer before that and I was too impatient to let my shit grow out completely so I had the O-Dog/Mystikal look for like a month.

    My favorite haircut from the 90s was the slope jawn with the swirl design comin from the front.

    Put that shit on with the fake silk/rayon shirt and the dukey brown jeans, couldn't tell me SHIT!

  • May 25, 2006 11:54 AM
  • Naj says...
  • Yeah, it was also a rite of passage for ALMOST EVERY nigga out west to get the S-Curl though. If it wasn't because of Kane from Menace, or Al B Sure, or Jodeci (the girls liked Mr Dalvin), or your favorite neighborhood hustler who had the money to get it done EVERY WEEK, you had to have an S-Curl at least once.

    That shit cost money though. I remember having swimming first period and had to use Snap Back to make the curls reform...

  • Joe Schmoe says...
  • Yo big up for the Gas Face video! 3rd Bass are the most official white boys in the game to this day. They wasn't trying too hard to be hood like Mr. Van Wilkle & Mr. Wahlberg, they just did them and got mad respect. The video was mad funny...I actually still got it on tape from Yo MTV raps back int the day. I think imma go home today & listen to my Cactus Album cassette (lol).

  • Prpops for going back to this classic! I must correct you though, DOOM was known as Zev Love X, not Zeb Luv X. It also stood for X EvolVez or X Evolves. Don't let me catch you dripping again!

    Snapback??? Yo, you got me on the floor over here. We do some crazy shit when we are young and impressionable. I remember my homeboy was tryin to put lines in his eyebrow (Big Daddy Kane) and shaved his whole eyebrow off.

  • Respect!!!These cats coming up now would do good to pay attention...shit ain't ALL about the endorsements...it's about skills and content...get it right before we lose this shit...sellout ig'nant rap(e)pers get tha gas face and tha Bozak...!!!

  • May 25, 2006 12:12 PM
  • Ron Mexico says...
  • Locution... you are so right... and I knew that.

    Do you know how fucking long it's been since I've even uttered the name Zev Love X?

    Naj, I literally had to flip a coin to determine whether or not today was gonna be gas face or BQ. I figured gas face deserved it a tad more. BQ will have its day.

  • May 25, 2006 12:14 PM
  • Meccadon says...
  • The nigga was lookin mad Debonaire ALL the time. He tried to use eyeliner pencil for the first week BUT he couldn'tget it right SO he shaved the other one off! No bullshit.....

  • Might as well tackle the ? video.

    Never seen so many cats on the same blog pounder about DOOM.
    I like that

  • It's all good Ron, that shit was still a good look and like I said YBT REALLY liked the video.

    Yo Mecca, it's all good, homie...we've all tried to do shit before and it not work. I went to a hair salon to get the S-curl done and them ass holes put hawaiian silky in my shit...not a curl to be found...I had to go to the hood. The dude told me I needed two essentials, a night cap and a bottle of Snap Back.

    When that sonofabitch ran low, it was like Hollywood Shuffle all over again.

  • May 25, 2006 12:27 PM

  • Hip hop continues to change and evolve. Hair, clothes (gear), cars (remember P.E. givin it up for the 98 Olds?), rhyme style and production. That's why I feel bad that todays youth didn't get a chance to experience hip hop when it was fun. I remember the last thing I'd worry about when going to a jam was gettin shot. Now, I'm packin everytime I walk out the door. Shit is crazy. Imagine if Search kicked the The Hammer over in a video NOW. You'd have Bay area catz on here threatening to KILL ny catz and vice versa, NY catz fearing for their lives at a Raider's game, 2 Big MC (where the fuck is he?) havin shootouts with Pete Nice, Then Too Short, E-40 and Dru Down would be lookin for Nas, Large Professor & main source to set it on them. Things done changed

  • Sup Ron,
    Hot video. "The Cactus Album" was hot when Serch wasn't wasn't bein' a white apologist. Daddy Rich was NICE on the wheels. Big up to MF DOOM. After his brother Subroc was trgically killed in that accident, he kinda went of the dep end. I'm glad he regrouped.
    Y'all ain't said shit about hairstyles. as I previously blogged I had a High top fade and I used a S-curl. I also put three different dyes in my head, chery auburn, strawberry blond and blond. My shit was on some Kwame shit. One morning I went to pick it out and a CLUMP of hair came out in the pick. Fuckit, I cut it into a "EST". you know, "Half-fro". Now I got a hole in my ozone so I keep it close, but 87-92? You couldn't tell me shit, Nike signs, pineapple cuts, 2-3 parts. AND it was SHINY!! I fucked up many a LeCoste Sportif sweatsuit jackets and my grandmom's pillow cases with that shit. Now, I wish I could just grow a TWA. (Teeny,weeny afro)

  • May 25, 2006 12:37 PM
  • Medina says...
  • For me it was strictly shitlox with the sides of my head scraped to the bone.
    I'm not proud of it but i also had a little turd comin'out of my lower neck region. That's how we rolled in Mokum

  • May 25, 2006 12:44 PM
  • Meccadon says...
  • Naj, not the Hawaiian Silk joint? Ohh Noo! They gave you a conk, like Detriot Red? Go find them and smack there asses RIGHT NOW.
    Also THE BOONDOCKS, niggas (used properly) can't shoot. I like how you said "tryin to shoot each other" because that's exactly the case. Niggas(once again) bus' their gun like O-Dog or some shit. Let me help the Niggas (you know who you are) on here out.

    HOW TO FIRE A WEAPON:

    Grab the pistol grip with your dominant hand
    Put your other hand ON TOP of the dominate hand and pistol grip, securing the weapon firmly. (Extend your arms STRAIGHT ahead of you toward your target)
    Line your target up in your scope of your weapon.
    Breathe, Relax
    Gently place your finger on the trigger, NOW think, do you really want to do this? Is it worth it? Why am I killin another Black person? They don't have Grey Goose or Purp in jail, I WILL be getting fucked by men largher than me in jail, and I'm NEVER gonna get out.
    (Niggaz from New Orleans can ignore the last part)
    AND SQUEEZE, dumb ass nigga.

  • Peace, skdamc. You sound like a east coast cat. remeber when people where putting "7's" in their domes, on some 5% shit? I've seen many catz get knocked the fuck out cuz they couldn't recite the daily mathematics.
    Medina It soulds like you had a "tail". How many of ya'll had a tail? Not me, it felt like a tumor was growing out of the back of my head BUT I did keep a fresh "Philly Fade"

  • skdamc says...
  • Sup Mecca,
    Philly all day, e'ry day. I was a walkin' bill board for my brother's barber skills. I couldn't do the tail thing. Just S-curls. Plus on the wave tip some Murray's or Nu-Nile. Whatchu know about dat? Cuttin' up you Mom's "good" stocking for a stocking cap. Carrying your brush to school with you, that fucked up line across your forehead that lasted until lunch period. Man, those were the days...
    First Pac get rocked, then Big gets popped, Then heard my man Beans got shot........Karma is a boomerang.

  • May 25, 2006 1:04 PM

  • Yeah, I keep hearing about Beans getting blasted. to qi=oute Wu-Tang "is he dead?" not trying to light of the situation BUT more than likely he was shot by a nigga (used properly) and survived. That's why I put the instructions up there. Breathe, Relax, Aim & Squeeze= BRAS.

  • Is it just me or did Pete-Nice look like a coked-up version of that dude from Rocky IV?

    Serch:
    You know it's all love homie, but I gotta disagree with Ron about that "making an ass outta himself" part -- a hi-top and big glasses only works if you're Mannie Fresh. You didn't make an ass out of yourself intentionally though, so I won't hold it against you. Good looking on the last episode of Yo! MTV Raps though --
    "...Yo! is like Sam Goody, you know we all got it..."

    Where's Erick Sermon been the past 4 or 5 years, anyway? Someone needs to put his picture on a milk carton.

  • May 25, 2006 1:17 PM
  • Naj says...
  • Yeah how about Beans gettin popped today?...

    but yeah skdamc, the shit fallin out was what happened to niggas when they went to far...I remeber the tails...but niggas would be in the lunch line or on the bus and pull your shit hella hard. It was wack when you first grew it out though.

    Yes Ron...I know all about that? the RED AND YELLOW BOTTLE. That and a blue can of ISOPLUS....CHUUUUCH!

    Where I lived then-the Fillmoe District, niggas was pretty with that shit, we was like Harlem West. My mans had the ill Rappin 4-tay/Dru Down finger waves w/ the hazel contacts and the ear pierced with his the letter of his first name in gold...if you wasn't pretty, then you thugged it out with the Starter Jacket and the Beanie cap.


    Yeah second to my mans earlier-we need that Peach Fuzz--Yo, Native tounges was a MOVEMENT for real...

  • May 25, 2006 1:24 PM
  • Meccadon says...
  • Yeah, I just read the Beans article. Damn, who gets shot at 8 in the morning? At least Beans was on the way to the office. That's fucked up, can't even go to the studio to work on your latest gangta record without being shot. Shit is crazy. The upper arm? Niggas can't shoot, Dig, I told you.
    Anyway, in honor of todays blog, I'm am going to get a pack of Newports and Puma sweats.

  • I thought Beans moved out the city to the 'burbs. I also don't think it was a robbery. Remember, his step pop got murked a few months back. And the cats they describin' sound like some old Muslim/new Muslim Philly shit. You would really have to live in Philly to understand this senseless shit. I think it was either a message or a murder attempt.

  • May 25, 2006 1:46 PM
  • Meccadon says...
  • Really? That's too bad. EVEN the Muslims is "beefin". Shit is crazy everywhere. It had to be some kinda setup, 8 in the mornin? Damn, give me time to drink my tea and smoke my first blunt before you start shootin at me.

When are these catz gonna realize that they are successful entertainers with a gang of cash not some broke niggas (used correctly again) on the street lookin for a deal. How much respect do you get layin in a casket over some dumb shit? not much. We really need to grow up. MOST of the artists are over the age of 25 and should at least try to exibit some form of maturity and common sense.

    That had to be the CORNIEST hairstyle to blow through the hood. It always seemed like the herb type cats had shags. you know, the mufukkas wit two rows of teef, and Pro-Player sneeks instead of Nike Bruins. Type of dudes that wore sleeveless vests and pleated slacks wit thier sneeks. sang in the Church choir (not that there's anything wrong with that)and had a fine ass sister. LOL

    that takes me back 2 my sophmore year in high school, back in the day, I had the Al B. Sure s-curl thing going, then after that it was strictly high top fades with the graphics, I remember one cat had got the entire Universal flag of Islam carved in the back of his head, this is before I even knew what a 5%er was, after he had seen the Eric B. & Rakim video, and here in Chicago, niggas, mainly the GD's, used 2 speculate and say that Ra was a Vice Lord, anywayz, this cat came 2 school with the flag shaved in his head, and those GD's beat the brakes offa duke, and it's ironic, because, I've been a 5%er for almost 10 years now, I got the flag tatted on my arm, and now I have knuckleheads steppin' 2 me insisting that I'm a Stone because of my tat, until I bombed them fools, now when they see me it's "Peace God".
    But my favorite 3rd Bass joint was "Wordz of Wisdom"
    I AM THAT DUDE & I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

  • Peace, That Dude. Yeah I see catz all over was frontin'. This was when rap was rap, X-Clan, PRT, King Sun and KRS. Now we got artists tellin us how "hard" they are, how they will take your chick, they'll fuck/shoot you up, laffy taffy's and x-pills. Shit is crazy.

    Only hip-hop can have cats remembering having hair 3 inches high on the top of their head to a shag 3 inches down the back of their neck. You gotta love it.

  • I could go for a good Showbiz and AG right now. Damn, Ron Instead of 9 other bullshit blogs we need to have at least 1 old school blog for us seniors around here. It would be nice to have intelligent conversation on a DAILY basis. You notice no bullshit, no I'm gonna kill you, or "my hood is harder than yours" shit, today because the niggas (used perfectly) from our generation are all dead, in jail or disenfrancised. Exactly the same thing that will happen to this generations niggas. The problem is there are far more niggas now than black people like us.

    but point taken.

    I try to keep Throwback Thursday nice and thorough.

    P.S.: I ain't that old. I'm only 25. I was a youngster when all of this was goin on. Had the book on the desk and the gun on the floor. Chose the damn book.

    Essex, Jay-z make it clear on "The Takeover" that Search owned Nas' publishing. Speaking of which, isn't Search Jewish? Lyor Cohen & Rick Rubin. what is the strange connection between Jews and Hip-Hop? I know BUT I don't feel like typing that long. It is an interesting relationship.

    So fucking TRUE!

  • Just Joking with you. I'm not into R&B too tough and I really never been. Also, I don't feel most of the rap songs they play.

    So, If I'm caught without one of my CD's, I get mad at the bullshit that I have to listen to.

    I supposed that I can ride in silence, but I listen to it and I just end up thinking about how much I hate most of the shit they play and that makes for a Bad exerience in the car, which has led me to the conclusion that I HATE THE RADIO.

Kelly song, damn near at the same time, then on top of that, there's not any variety of rap music on Black radio stations, a result of Queer Channel's strangle hold on radio, those clowns think all we listen 2 are songs about sex, violence & drugs.
    SCREW THE RADIO!!!!!

But I did have the big Ass Cornishe (spelling) Jeans with the Reebok revenge, or the Used Outfit with the rips and all, I also used to rock the Reebok Black Tops, I couldn't afford the Reebok Pumps. Remember when Reebok and New Balance 992's was the ish? "What you know about" rocking a part in your head like Nas or the Boomerang, or Lighting Bolt part. Did ya'll used too rock Stop Watch Clocks around ya'll neck. Niggas lookin' like we in the Hood Olympics. "And the Gold Metal goes to ... Mike-Mike." Remember them Days. A Ronnie Mex what up with the old G Rap "Joint On The Run" Da Yungstas "Something For The Yungstas" or Ice-T "High Rollers or Pusher Man" Gotta me fellin' all nostalgia I might have to go get me a Sergio Tachinie (spelling) for this blog.
