I'm trying to remember what rapper set the keep it real trend, but I'm drawing a blank right now. Before all the songs called Keep It Real this or that, who was the first to talk about it?.Stupid topic I know, but it's killing me.REPRESENT too, if anyone remembers.

    these things usually start in the streets and then rappers put it on wax

    1993

    but....


    Runaway Slave is the debut album from Hip Hop duo Showbiz and A.G., members of legendary New York crew D.I.T.C.. The effort was a highly praised underground release, but didn't sell strong numbers. Three songs from their debut EP are included here, "Party Groove", "Soul Clap", and "Catchin' Wreck". The album features an early appearance from late legend Big L, on the posse cut "REPRESENT", other guest appearances come from Diamond D, Dres, Lord Finesse and DeShawn.[/b]

    1992

    Got to keep it steady baby, steady baby
    Ooh, got to keep it real"

    But I always thought it was Apache Keep It Real off the Roll Wit Tha Flava album. But I guess not.


    Also in 1974 is the John Lee Keep it real track.
