” Showbiz Speaks “
Alright folks,I’m fully charged up and ready to hit the battlefield with reckless abandon….Here is a recent interview with one of my favorite producers- the Bronx bomber Showbiz get’s the Q&A treatment by 7:30…
*Big up to my cuzzo UNIK ONE..
Can you tell the difference between songs that are created in a studio with chemistry versus songs made in isolation?
Right now, if you get a timeless song comparing it to the ‘90s era, there was a lot more timeless songs and that comes from the chemistry that people have in the studio. I was reading that on a blog site how they said that ODB came in and walked in the wrong studio and he got on the “Superstar” record, the Mariah Carey record. And things like that happen. And just like on Show and A.G. on “Got the Flava” on the the Goodfellas album, Method Man was in the next room and he walked in and heard the beat and wanted to kick a couple of bars to it. So that type of stuff happens.
You can’t really tell now because a lot of people do send their verses in. You really can’t tell now because the music ain’t the same as it was in the ‘90s. I believe you had a lot more authentic classics and timeless music in the ‘80s and the ‘90s and I think that music is a lot more timeless than the stuff that comes out now. You may like it for a couple of months because they play it all day long. If they don’t play it on the radio no more, you don’t remember the song. That’s the difference. This music is just forced on you.
What gives music the authenticity that you’re talking about?
As a producer, I’m only speaking for producers. You gotta have a knowledge of the hip-hop that was there before you. I believe those are the people that make the best hip-hop. The best hip-hop producers are students. Premier has been following hip-hop since it came out in the beginning and he can tell you records that he bought when he was in Texas. He had a lot of knowledge. His mother took him to a lot of concerts. He was well aware of how hip-hop was supposed to sound and people such as myself and Pete Rock and Diamond, everybody had kind of studied what hip-hop was to make the best hip-hop that they could make. I’m only speaking for the producers’ side though, definitely.
” Hiero Day 2016 “
#HIERODAY2016 was very ILL on multiple levels (I’m still trying to recover actually)….The first being that in the heart of west Oakland 10,000 heads gathered from sun up to sundown with not one incident of violence (remarkable if you ask me).Big up to the entire VENDETTA VINYL POSSE / GFC / NS/ we did our motherfucking thing on the turntables…. FDRZ, RIFF, PEZO, KUFU, GOBLIN, RESEK, ARCHITECT, WIGZ, SHA, G-LEVEL, ROACH, DAZE, CARLO,OFTEN, BRAVE, MFGRIMM, SUPERNATURAL, AYATOLLAH (YOU WERE THERE IN SPIRIT CUZZO) and everyone else that made this a memorable day….RIP PRIZE ONER WE MISS YOU…..*Salute to HIERO for rocking together after all these years- 93 till infinity for real…
I could go on and on, but I will just let a few flicks do the talking….
” Total Wreckage On Deck “
I will be with the VENDETTA VINYL posse on Sep 5th for the HIERO DAY celebration in Oakland…We have a couple booths, so come through as we go into full blown wreckage mode on the decks, samplers, and the black books…
We are even having a free give away for a upcoming secret society 7inch that will be released very shortly….Big up to everyone that has been rocking with us since day one (WE SEE YOU)…..
” Scratch Overdose 20 “
My dude KODAC VISUALZ is a straight up monster when it comes to scratch patterns…When I first met him back in the late 90’s he was already light years ahead of dudes on the cuts, but now in 2016 I have to admit, he is a real problem out here….
KV has been making major moves with Asthma Funk, Q-Bert’s Scratch University, Killer Nuns, Born Sinnaz and now the BEAT JUNKIES featured him on their “Watch The Sound” video series..SALUTE!!!!!!
