” Godfather Don Speaks “
Not exactly sure what happened with ONE LEG UP RECORDS (they haven’t released a record in years), but at one point they were releasing killer releases at an alarming rate…
They dropped unreleased gems from the BEAT NUTS, SHORTY LONG, BRAND NUBIAN, HERB MCGRUFF, PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH, LORD DIGGA, and the very ill CENOBITES “Demented Thoughts” EP along with the “Ill Funk Freaker” EP by GODFATHER DON……
Lucky for us they took the time to link up with the GODFATHER and ask him some well thought questions regarding his departure from Hip Hop, beats, and all types of other shit….This is the best interview on DON I have ever read, so make sure you check in…
“4XL: Now onto the Cenobites material we’re releasing on One Leg Up. Why didn’t these Cenobites joints make the first Fondle Em EP, especially since this material is on par with the stuff that came out previously?
Like I said, I used to do so much material that at the rate of creation of material you couldn’t keep up with it. So what used to happen during the times the Cenobites material was being created, I used to just do tapes all the time. And by that time, me and Keith was hanging tough. He was always hangin’ out in the city, shopping and stuff and I used to work right where everybody used to hang out like around 34th Street. So when I used to come out of work, he would already be out there and we would just hang out you know, go have drinks and bug out and go to the crib and do music and write stuff”.
