  • I read a interview with Marley Marl, and in that interview came to things up which I need your help.

    First he is mentioning his brother as a influence, the name of his brother is what caught my interest, its LARRY LARR (thats the way it was written in the mag)

    So I asked myself:

    1.
    This is another Larry Larr, or is this the same as the "Da Wizzard of Odds" Larry Larr from 3 X Dope ???

    2.
    Is the way they wrote the name correct ??

    3.
    If yes, what does LARR mean ??? Or is it a common add on for Larrys ???

    4.

    5.
    The crew consisted out of Larry Larr, T-Tone, Jappy Jap and Gas and Marley is qouted that he mentioned those dudes on "the bridge records".

    Is he talking about "The Bridge" from Shan ????


    6.
    In that same interview he mentioned his first record ever called "The Rebels - Under the Wear"

    I checked that and found this:

    Three X Dope was from Philly I think...The Larry Larr he's talking about was a Queensbridge hip hop pioneer...Yeah, Larry Larr kinda like, Kevie Kev, Dana Dane, Melle Mel, etc. I'm not sure if the early Queensbridge cats had any noteworthy records...

    This Larry Larr isnt the one Marley is talkin about.

    What about the Larry that Grandmaster Flash did a classic about?

    That's Larry Smith they're talking about there, another hip-hop producer/pioneer.

    davy dmx - at least i always assumed because davy scratched that line in "one for the treble."

    yeah, larry smith. that makes sense now....

    2.different spelling...i`ll check on that

    Yeah, I found the following versions.

    Larry Laughter

    and

    Larry Lah

    Is the 12" version diffrent from the LP version of the bridge. Is the 12" version a re-spitted version ??

    Coud that be the reason for the 2 spellings ??





    5.yes, mentioned in the bridge, but it`s t-tom...no?

    From "The Bridge"

    Otherwise known as Mean Teen Tom
    A brother whose known for his rap
    Jabby Jack, Larry Laughter and least not last
    A cool brother by the name of Gas


    Another Version

    From "The Bridge"

    Otherwise known as Mean Teen Tom
    A brother who's known for his rap
    Jabby Jack, Larry Lah, third least not last
    A cool brother by the name of Gas



    Are both versions correct ???



    Peace
