jnolen29 — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:47:16 GMT

"Back in the Day" is a classic. Nobody had used that Teddy Pendergrass sample and ripped a rhyme that eloquently on the same track before.

That "Come Widdit" cut was slept on. Ahmad showed he could hang with some heavyweights. ( Saffir & Ras Kass )

Nuff Respect Due.

I still got the single for that song on tape! That was my shit back in the day though. Good to see this cat is doing great for himself. I would like to hear a new album from him though. Just to see what he is going to say. His first joint was cool so I know his new joint will probably be cool too. Peace my man and stay on your JO!

I love the city college system. When I went back to school, I didn’t have much money but I pretty much did my first two years of college for free. There would be grants that would pay for the books and other needs. The State also has money available to help you – and honestly where there is a will there is a way. Even if you have to take some type of loan and go in to a little debt, a college graduate on the average makes three or four more times over a lifetime than those that just graduated from High School. If you have to go into $20,000 of debt to get a four year degree, that will more than pay for itself once you graduate. Don’t let money be the reason that you don’t go. If you have the grades, the will and the desire – it will happen. There will be nothing that can stop you from going to college. People don’t let money stop them from making demo tapes, buying studio time or getting those Jordan’s. You can do it.

If its lost should I give it up or should I try
Right to left all I see is death and suicide-Ahmad

productofme.com — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:15:20 GMT

thanks allhiphop for giving an example of a rapper who stresses education and not cause he can claim his donations at tax time. to leave the rap game to go to college and become valedictorian is incredible.

this story should be at the top of each page. much props Ahmad. i remember rubbing up on some shorties in junior high to this. i even had the cassette single (didnt have the cake for albums back then). i will love this song til my dying breath.

NOW EVERYBODY SAY...

This was a nice lil story and all but can somebody tell me what happened to Malik from illegal. I know Jamal got down with def squad for a while and rocked, i wonder where he is also i mean i never see him rock with any other philly rappers and Malik was with snoop at the beginning of his career but then disappeared. Both of these dudes had a chance to be large in the game and i wonder what happened. Illseed u claim to know alot help me out here

re: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?: Ahmad

twoturntables — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 01:20:05 GMT

It's great to hear that someone's got their life priorities and vision of self-worth in line. I'm sick of hearing all the sob stories and "life is so hard in the hood" songs. Not to trivialize anyone's personal struggles but its refreshing to hear someone's positive perspective. Growing up overseas in the 3rd world, moving to the US solo and having to accept loans to go to college, and ending up with a diploma, I can relate to what he's saying and feel inspired.
I hope what he says in the interview inspires the youth in our communities to dream big and pursue higher education to open up future opportunities for themselves.

re: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?: Ahmad

MBsoul — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:19:06 GMT

Ahmad is one of the dopest rappers I've heard. His 4th Ave. material was classic and highly overlooked Interscope made a huge mistake by never releasing their CD.

Look for their CD's on ebay, cuz that's the only place you'll find them:
*No Plan B
*Respect
*No Plan B part 2
*Gumbo (compilation)
*hiprocksoul
*Stereo - the evolution of hiprocksoul

Ahmad is also a great dude.
