— Get the music here:
He is credited with creating the slang term “the Gas Face”. He grew up in Far Rockaway, Queens, attending Far Rockaway High School., and graduated from Music & Art High School.
After recording three albums with 3rd Bass?The Cactus Album (1989), Cactus Revisited (1990), and Derelicts of Dialect (1991)?Serch launched a solo career with Return of the Product (1992, Def Jam). The album featured two hit singles:
“Here It Comes” (which hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Tracks chart); and “Back to the Grill” featuring Chubb Rock, Red Hot Lover Tone and Nas. Serch was the executive producer of Nas? Illmatic, one of the most critically acclaimed albums
of the 1990s. He also helped to cultivate the rapper O.C. after hearing him on the Organized Konfusion song “Fudge Pudge”, helping him secure a record contract with Wild Pitch Records. In 1995 Serch also mentored the newly formed Non
Phixion.
Since retiring from performing, Serch has run a promotions company (Serchlite Music). He appeared in Spike Lee’s Bamboozled (2000) as a member of the fictitious hip-hop group Mau Maus (played by other real-life hip-hop performers such as
Mos Def, Charli Baltimore and Canibus). His character was a white revolutionary who was supposed to be 1/16th African-American. From 2003 he hosted Serch In The AM on Detroit Urban Radio Station FM 98 WJLB; he was the first Jewish DJ at
that station. MC Serch was dismissed from WJLB in March 2006, reportedly due to a dispute over a Super Bowl weekend party at the club “Motor City Live.” Serch also hosted the VH1 reality series Ego Trip’s The (White) Rapper Show, known
for his catch phrase: “Woop-WOOP!”, which ended in March of 2007. A follow-up show, ego trip’s Miss Rap Supreme, debuted in 2008. Serch has since returned to the radio airwaves in Detroit on the urban station Hot 102.7

Hip hop USED to be good
Thanks Serch!
Return of the Product is one of the MOST UNDERRATED albums in hip hop history.
chubb rock killed everyone
2nd verse is really awful
i remembered Nas on that but didnt notice Tone from Trackmasters was there
George bush get nuff props
Nas in the song was like that feeling you had went you found a hidden character in a fighting game back in the day.
Rem when I first heard this on cd thought MC serch was black lmao
Between this one and Live at the BBQ. The game changed.
Theres a guy in lifers group that always has a bucket hat on and hes the closest to that cold style nas has,,, check it
Nas' rhyme meter reminded me a lot of Kool G Rap
I wish I was old enough to hear Nas verse as it happened.
This track has aged like fine wine
1/27/2024 still dope af
True hip hop classic
God bless 90s hip hop
Far Rockaway 1992!!!!
Naz entered and showed us where we were goin next
Serch goofy ass why white people like Michael Rappaport think they hard as fuck
Why nobody see the influence Chubb rock had on B.I.G
Nas is so fucking handsome
Mc Shan got me here
Nas came on and you knew dude was no joke. Made everyone sound ancient. A legend in the making.
Ahead of his time nasty nas
Yes your game is hockey lol…
Serch was ass
NAS !!! Queens Finest
Back to watching Gilligan
Tardé unos 25 años buscando esta canción (Desde que se creó youtube) y al fin la encontre
MC Serch was slept on bc you know why
i wonder if the nasty nas fellow ever went anywhere with his music.
Nas' entire approach to this verse is so far ahead of its time, coming in on a half bar, not cramming in the syllables, calm, collected and yet aggressive. Its so easy to take this verse out of context. With no disrespect to the other MCs, you only have to hear the others, to realise how different Nas is
We are having MC Serch discussions in this day and age!? Hilarious
Naz always steals the show…lol
I remember hearing this as a kid, & even then thinking that Nas’s verse was incredible . I always thought Serch was dissing Pete in the last verse.
The best one out of all these is MC Serch – hands down!
