Welcome to another installment of “Respect The DJ”, this time around Pete Rock is on the boards. Born Peter Phillips from Mount Vernon, NY, Pete Rock is by far one of the illest DJ/Producers ever to grace a turntable. His songs with ex-partner CL Smooth? Legendary. His production with his trademark horn loops? Classics. His music today? exceptional!
For young heads, I'm glad that you will experience bits and pieces of "The Chocolate Boy Wonder's" legacy. But do us a favor, ask your big brother, father, uncle what is like to hear a new Pete Rock joint back in the day and watch them get a big smile come over their face. Why? Because Pete Rock's songs were not just hits on the radio like Akon or T-Pain, they were musical events and to be honest and in a lot of ways, hip hop hasn't been the same since.
Below are few samples of some of great work Pete Rock did with his former partner C.L. Smooth.
Their biggest hit They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) isn’t represented here because I wanted to spotlight some tracks that y'all might have forgotten or never heard before, enjoy!
