just put this project together number that
allow me to get back to diversify my
18
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.519
my lines. You know, I've
been going a different direction as far as
19
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.560
my sound, which is actually finding
and developing my sound. But with his
20
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.760
track to allow me to go back
into the real core of hip hops.
21
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.680
Definitely go back and check out that
full episode with mister Misfit talking about that
22
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.319
EP with DJ ril One called Greet
and Build EP. Definitely go check it
23
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.599

from him in the future. And he
24
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.520
brought up some stuff in that interview. If you go back and listen to
25
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.680
it. Yeah, that that Llo
cool J Bigger and depfor I'm Bad.
26
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.639
It definitely is a is a jump
off point for me as well in the
27
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.280
mid eighties late eighties when you're first
getting into this stuff. I remember buying
28
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.560
Bigger and depfor at one of those
record stores. I still have the cassette
29
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.960
tape and it was ad I might
have talked about this before. There's a
30
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.560
place called the Record Exchange in Chicago. I think it was on Clark Street
31
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.080
and man, I forget forget the
intersection, but it was near one of
32
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.400
the CTA stops. I think the
Brown Line anyway. Yeah, the guy
33
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.439
had to come out with the keys
because that's when they had the tapes behind
34
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.560
the glass case. So I'd like
point at it. You know what's only
35
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.800
like I don't know, ten or
eleven years old and I'm pointing. I
36
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.240
want that one Doe to come over
with the keys, open it up,
37
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.639
pull it out there. It was
so yeah, Bigger and Deff forgot continuous
38
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.759
play on the old Walkman that I
had back then, along with various other
39
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.919
tapes. So salute fifty years of
hip hop and big up to mister Misfit.

45
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.360

lot of dough all in the Bends with
72
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.439
my friends blowing a lot of drove
this decline and the plans diabolical. I
73
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.079
hit the ham about high spoke.
We live four to five, singing like
74
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.000
a choir. Broke I remote mad
quiet quotes. I didn't the man had
75
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.279
to track motion line know. I
live fast, but I'm most science slow.
76
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.399
I'm in the past with your baying
a whole lot of soaps, and
77
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.199
I'm gonna see it's being conjugated.
Who your friends? It depends who damn
78
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.120
the bang it is? Did you
ask me the hot little prepopulated adding money

Asians, give me two hand massage. Two heads are better than one from
83
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.920

coin of playing the odds. Heads or
84
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.480
tails? Got our backup scale that's
recharged to a pair of these two versus
85
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.000
go hard. Two wings make me
fly seeing two stars only two of us
86
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.000
Heaven and hell, black or white? Men and women do the sind and
87
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.879
guarden. Devil is the type?
Left or right? And what's your choice?

132
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.200
I dropped it as a single kind
of under the radar man. So I'll
133
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.000

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.159
grimey. Yeah, man, and
you guys have worked together a lot in
139
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.360

great great Crimincy together, me and him,
141
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.799

you guys, I'm guessing you probably
142
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.720
had more work in the future.
I mean, I just never even ask
143
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.440
that question, right, you guys

145
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.240
fit him some track. See now
you jumped the gun here because Alpha three
146
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.879

questions that I've ah, You're you're good,
147
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.360
man, so you might as well
get into it. So there's gonna
148
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.519
be a third one. There's got
to be a trilogy, right right,
149
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.639
you know, it's a series,
man. So I'm trying to drive two
150
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.399
more from this year EPs because we
don't do like six seven songs, man,
151
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.639
So it should be so hard,
man, just just pump the industry
152
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.960
up with with a bunch of material
for me and the home team. You
153
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.559
got a lot of stuff coming together
as a whole. So it's trying to
154
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.480
fill that void, man, give
the fans something and get people to support
155
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.559
to something. You know, they
they can rock to for the rest of
156
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.399
the year, you know. And
that's the thing too, Like do you
157
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.919
try with each project, especially since
you have them coming out, you know,
158
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.639
pretty close together. Are you conscious
of like, Okay, I want
159
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.120
this one definitely to sound different than
the other one, or do you kind
160
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.960
of want them to kind of almost
like mesh together. They are like one
161
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.759
long project in a way. Well, I can't think like the one long
162
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.559
projects. I want them be able
to If I did put all four,
163
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.200
three or four out on vaumes together
of the Alpha, man, this it
164
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.440
could be like one long project.
Man. But it's just the vibe I
165
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.200
being on for the last year so
and everybody I rock with it on the
166
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.559
same vibe. So it makes it
easy for me to create this, yeah,
167
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.559
without a doubt. Man, And
people who heard the first Alpha project
168
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.639
came out what two years ago?
Yeah? I believe around twenty twenty one,
169
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.559
I believe. Yeah, what should
people like if that's the only thing
170
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.200
they've heard from you? What should
they expect in Alpha two? It's been
171
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.879
a bit, Yeah, been a
bit. I've been doing other stuff.
172
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.159
It's my first project in a minute, just for me. But the first
173
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.480
Alpha, you know, I did
it with another producer named Tom beach Is
174
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.360
just then the family of Home team
again, a lot of people to work
175
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.320
with them, so we got together
did the Alpha. So I decided to
176
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.720
do it myself this time because I
was that's that kind of mold I'm in
177
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.240
right now, so, you know, so to suspect, like say,
178
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.559
name of Alpha Man, Doe beats
though rhymes. Try to keep it close
179
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.440
to the effens as I can,
because I'm an old school type of cap
180
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.879
in terms of hip hop. You
know. So that's the you know,
181
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.320
Doe Brian's Man boom back, you
know, the stuff that people really been
182
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.639
longer for for a minute. Yeah, man, we're always such as old
183
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.279
heads, you know, over forty
heads, always looking for that. I
184
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.159
like the feel of this Album's got
a lot of like a kind of like
185
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.480
a jazz vibe a little bit.
Was that something intentional? Is that something
186
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.759
you go to sometimes? Well,
it's just my lane since I've been doing
187
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.240
beats, man, it's something that
you know, I came up in the
188
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.919
nineties terms of beat nuts and and
t rock. You know that type of
189
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.639
d I T C. Who was
one of the crews I like to be
190
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.039
mentioned with Mantle those top beat from
Bucky diamond D. That's what I grew
191
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.600
up listened to. That's kind of
vibe I always own. Now I may
192
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.080
go to other other dramas and stuff
like that, but I love the javvy,
193
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.080
laid back type of vibe, you
know. And that only makes sense
194
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.279
that that one track I was talking
about earlier with g Fan Black called diamond
195
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.759
D ninety two diamond D. So
that's that's that production, right, that's
196
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.360
it is that kind of what you're
when you were making that song and that
197
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.840
and you came up with that title. Was it more that like the beat
198
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.840
felt like it could be something from
that era that maybe Diamond D would have
199
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.320
done, or were you just kind
of inspired or do something like Diamon D
200
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.519
would do, Like how did you
come up with that idea? It just
201
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.720
listening to it, and I would
listening at the same So I listened a
202
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.440
lot of old albums when I put
just creating stuff, So I would listen
203
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.919
to a lot of the first joint
he did with telling what got a one
204
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.919
track mine own? Love that record
to hip hop right, Yeah, I
205
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.919
mean to me and fit that vibe. But it was doing it back then,
206
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.200
and that's one of the producers I
look up to, like I've ever
207
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.960
meet him one day and I may
I may just had it like be in
208
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.559
shocked, like he's one of the
dope't producers out there. NMC. You
209
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.120
know he did both. Yeah,
he does both. He still do it,
210
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.840
and I'm sorry none of passed since
he still does it and it's game
211
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.080
at a high level. But yeah, when I when I did it,
212
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.320
and it's sounded like something that diamond
It done, like something like show ag
213
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.600
ag would have wrapped over something like
that. So that's how that title came
214
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.360
about. Man not trying to green
mushroom you here with the one up.
215
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.519
But I got to meet Diamond D
one time and he did a DJ set.
216
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.039
Man, this had to be like
fifteen years ago at Lava Lounge,
217
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.960
uh with that place. Yeah,
And I brought my Stunts Blunts album with
218
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.919
me and he signed it. I
had it in the car because I felt
219
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.919
like a nerd carrying it inside the
club to the club and Diamond He's like,
220
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.519
man, you got the record,
bring it in. I'm like all
221
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.240
right, I'll be right back to
the car and he signed it. I
222
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.320
should send you a picture of it. But he was like mad cool and
223
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.200
it was just an honor just to
be in his presence. Man, Like
224
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.399
you just said, Sallie's got a
one track mind U? So when the
225
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.240
best kept secret? What's that track? Deaft capt speaker right, he had
226
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.120
a joint. I liked the brand, knew me and IM about to take
227
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.799
New York ship. But that's what
busts around you the same beat. I
228
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.720
forgot the name of the soul,
but the album, it is like me,
229
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.279
that's dope that you be able to
meet him and he signed the album.
230
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.960
That's the original album had when it
came out. Yeah, I believe
231
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.279
so I believe it is an original. I like I said, I got
232
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.799
to take a picture and send it
to you, but I was just mad,
233
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.679
geeked and too bro. It's like
I forgot about it almost because you
234
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.600
started talking about Like, wait a
minute, think, yeah it did me,
235
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.919
Diamond, What am I talking about
it? There's a picture somewhere on
236
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.759
Instagram. I should probably post it
if I haven't already. But yeah,
237
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.720
man, he is definitely. Then
they have like a top producer list that
238
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.320
came out recently. I hope.
I'm trying to remember if he was on
239
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.480
that list. If he wasn't,
it's a damn shame. Yeah he depends,
240
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.879
so like you know, we actually
doing the list though, so like
241
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.600
I mean, we go ahead so
we know about him and even you know,
242
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:50.399
yeah, man, he's d I
TC as a whole, I mean,
243
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.399
show biz and AG and you know
all this stuff that came out with
244
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.399
that camp. I mean, they
definitely repped it every time they came out
245
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.480
with something, and you gotta you
gotta respect the architects like that. You
246
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.559
have to. And do you talk
about this new album, this Alpha two,
247
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.440
was there like a concept in mind
before you started working on it,
248
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.399
Like what's kind of the process.
You have beats and you're like, okay,
249
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.399
this could be for Alpha two or
did you set out like okay,
250
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.679
I wanted to sound like this,
like how did that come about when you
251
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.120
first started coming up with the idea. I wanted to do the Alpha too
252
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.480
right? So I had to get
in that mold, and I said,
253
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.720
the beast actually to me represented let
me get to the MCS. I think,
254
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.480
well, because the alpha is all
about being the best right of being
255
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.440
the top dog, the apex preduct
that you want to call it right.
256
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.159
So I wanted to bet with people
in the underground that actually was actually doing
257
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.320
it doing in a high level.
So I got the beasts together and so
258
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.799
I started stuff out, sending stuff
out, beats out. I started this
259
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159
process last spring. First thing we
have to record was you know, the
260
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.960
ninety two diamond D joint. But
g fam you know, so now I
261
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.399
like to take my time, which
I did, and I think it hit
262
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:52.799
the market terms what I was trying
to do, what I'm trying to portray
263
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.240
terms with the title Alpha too,
man, no doubt when you're making a
264
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.840
beat right and you because I was
wondering, wondered this of people who make
265
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.639
production and beats and such, because
you've got a couple obviously features on here
266
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.119
when you're thinking of MC's is it
more I'm making the beating, like man,
267
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.279
gief Fan Black would kill this or
is it more you send a bunch
268
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.799
of stuff to g Fan Black and
he comes back, I want this one.
269
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.960
Like how what's the process for that? Too? Well? Both,
270
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.720
man, I do stuff all the
time. I'm like, yo, like
271
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.400
new. I send some of the
new Villain for the Alpha three project,
272
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.359
and right away he did something to
it that has done songs in the past
273
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.720
with them, Well, I think
to be perfect for you, like he
274
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.039
passed on them. You know.
So I think it depends on what kind
275
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.440
of mood mood that the artists are
in. But I do both ways.
276
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.759
Like with the they said with the
Alpha two, I was, this is
277
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.519
stuff I think that they should rap
over. Right, maybe I'll see them
278
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.240
rapping over And like I said,
ninety two Diamond the g FAM he recorded
279
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.160
a right away, so he knew
to convince him or anything. Okay,
280
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.359
sometimes I'm new. Well, sometimes
you may send something to somebody. They
281
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.440
may not like it now, but
like a year later it goes. But
282
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.759
go about what they're doing right now
they want to do something with But actually
283
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.519
depends, you know, terms out
how the artists feel that time I was
284
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.160
one and two. If you ever
get like, okay, I gotta beat
285
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.519
here. I know this person's gonna
kill it, you send it and they're
286
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.039
like that's okay, and you're like, WHOA. Expect that reaction. You
287
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.680
get that too. They alp all
the time and you can't get offended.
288
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.799
I'm like, they may not see
the vision as good as that, But
289
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.119
to me, could be talking about
d A t C. Was that bol
290
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.319
being I heard Buckbow did you know? From d I t C. And
291
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.200
a lot of people passed on it? From DV down on. Not a
292
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.319
lot of people passed on it.
The Black Rob saw something in it,
293
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.480
you know, and became a hit
for him. He known for whoa.
294
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.480
You know what I'm saying to this
day. So it depends what the artist
295
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.119
is on and they vibe they on
to that particular time. That makes sense
296
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.079
too, because the artists might just
not be in the right space for the
297
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.440
kind of beat that you put together. And it's nothing to do with the
298
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.079
quality or how good it is,
right Okay, I can't think of can't
299
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.400
be mad at that, you know, can't be at all. That's how
300
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.920
the game goes. And I bet
you've probably gotten calls or emails or whatever,
301
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.519
like, hey, man, remember
that thing you set me here?
302
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.960
You still have that file somewhere,
right, yeah, now plenty of time,
303
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.599
tis right, that's crazy. You
can't delete anything. I'm guessing you've
304
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.160
got beats that are probably sitting there
that you thought get used and not not
305
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:08.920
yet, right, bro, I
got beats back for the nineties, old
306
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:14.920
floppy disc. I don't think the
floppy the zip zip drive back from the
307
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.559
two thousand X fail. Yeah,
man, do you ever go back to
308
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:19.880
those old beats? And like,
man, what was I thinking? This
309
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.079
is? This is not good?
Or you surprised at how good you were
310
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:27.200
back in the early days, saying
because some beats like the elegants beat.
311
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.440
I did that the famous emblement on
people. I heard it before, but
312
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.960
we don't do sampleth peninsua, right. But I did that originally back in
313
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.319
two thousand and three, right,
and I had it was on an old
314
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.920
hot drive, so I redid it. It found a different I flowed it
315
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.440
down it found it like from that
era. I was then then, right,
316
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.359
but I did a couple of times
some beats I ain't done in the
317
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.519
past. I just redid it,
remixed. Nobody heard it or the wrap.
318
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.599
I did something that they didn't want
to do it no more, and
319
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.319
I just redid it and you know, put it back out there. So
320
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.480
that happens all the time for me. Yeah, I bet it. You
321
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.119
could take an old beat and either
like polish it up or add maybe something
322
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.400
to it drums right, put a
baseline to it, may put a thinger
323
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.279
on it, maybe chop it different. And I was thinking back, I
324
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.839
chopped different from now than I did
when I was two thousand and three,
325
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.000
you know, totally different how I
hear a sample and reconstructive now than I
326
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.759
did back when I was younger.
Man, it's just crazy to think about,
327
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.960
like the progression, right and and
the technology. I mean, it's
328
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.200
not even just like your your way
of putting it together. You're changing with
329
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.720
the technology also, right, hey, bro? Yeah, when I first
330
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.240
did this beat first there. First
I was in high school. We did
331
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.920
a beat. I ain't know what
I was doing on SP twelve hundred right
332
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:38.599
then. All I was doing I
couldn't catch the beat back then. You
333
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.680
know, they it was only like
like twenty seconds, I believe, and
334
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.039
then you had to to go past
that. You had to actually speed the
335
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.599
record up on the vinyl up to
feed it. Love to give more sample
336
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.920
time, but we have very limited
sample time back in the days we first
337
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.240
started this in the game, man, Now just unlimitedd then instead of you
338
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.720
know, we chop every I chill
chop every day by hand, Like when
339
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.160
I hear something in a wave,
I chopping myself on the start of endpoints.
340
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.279
Now they got stuff now where you
can in the computer with chopping for
341
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.000
you. That's crazy, but they
think right, I mean, you don't
342
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.279
even have to sit there, you
know, we do it. We did.
343
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.960
It takes sometimes all day to get
the perfect chop of how you want
344
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.599
stuff to play it properly. Now
it's just totally different, man. So
345
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.319
yeah, technology has changed the game
in terms of production, even im seeing
346
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:23.839
you know, rapping people don't have
to be in the same studio anymore.
347
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.880
We got right sects now, pro
toos and stuff like that. So it's
348
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.839
crazy. From where we came from. I remember hearing the story about I
349
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.279
don't know what song it was,
but an early EPM D era when they're
350
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.519
putting something together. They had a
reel to reel going from like door knobs
351
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.599
to like chairs and things, and
like that's how they looped the beat,
352
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.200
right, man, that's crazy stuff
out that stuff sound is a lot of
353
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.000
that stuff, dope by how they
had changes in the in the structure of
354
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.079
the beats and stuff like that.
I'm like, how they did it doing
355
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.440
off a tape, real real tape. It's crazy, man. Yeah,
356
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.519
so you got pro toos now and
you said SB twelve hundred. I mean
357
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.839
so many classics are made on that
machine too, right, right, and
358
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.440
think about that. I had third
limited sample time like Pete Rock he did
359
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.759
that his famous most famous beats on
that. He only had limited sample time,
360
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.519
but he had a lot of stuff
going on. He's mob and casting
361
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.920
like that. So that's crazy.
Many mob. There's another one who doesn't
362
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.880
get enough props. Man, salute
to easy Mobile Man. Oh, he
363
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.200
was an instrumental man to all in
college when he came out with Matter of
364
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.559
Fact, Craig mac and he with
the bad Boy for that whole era.
365
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.920
Man, he kicked it off,
man because he really that's the phone that
366
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.599
kicked him off. A bad boy
Man. Then the remix came out and
367
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.440
Perry's Big Man, So yeah,
hit that sound and hething he did stuff
368
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:38.920
with tupacet Big that he came.
Let's not forget that man dropped that what's
369
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.000
that Tupac joint temptations? Yeah,
right, so yeah, that's a legend
370
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.880
right there. Yeah, shout out
to Easy Mob. And I remember again
371
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.559
that production list when it came out. I was like, I don't see
372
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.599
Easy Mobe on here. I remember
that being like an omission that I've kind
373
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.400
of scratched my head about. Yeah, but you know, there's a lot
374
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.640
of great producers, of course,
and you know, just like any list
375
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.400
that's all, he's gonna be missing
somebody or something. I could be ranked
376
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.400
high enough or too low or whatever. But yeah, Easy Mob Man definitely
377
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.000
one of the all time great producers. And let's get back to this EP
378
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.359
right here. And you mentioned New
Villain earlier. He's on the intro track
379
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.119
talk about working on that one.
Yeah, Man, we just came out.
380
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.039
I was like, hey, I
ft the b down this one of
381
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:19.440
the other one. I put the
beat out to him and he was digging
382
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.640
it. He said, with it
what I need? I said, man,
383
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.240
give him like twenty four balls it's
gonna be intro. Flex should the
384
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.039
intro and if he did, he
gave it to me. I got it
385
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.160
within a couple of weeks. But
that's another guy, man, go both
386
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.119
fight, both wave in terms of
like the production of what kind of songs
387
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.279
we do. Because sometimes I find
him something he wanted to write, he
388
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:37.160
do it right away, but sometimes
I send him something like a I gonna
389
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.359
pass on this man. So,
like I say, it depends on the
390
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.319
vibe that New Vino and any any
EMC is on that particular time. Yeah,
391
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.759
that's what's going on man. And
like I said, you get some
392
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.559
great features on here. Can overlook
d NTE talk about him being on a
393
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.839
couple of tracks too. Yeah that's
the only man. Yeah, I think
394
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.400
that Canada connection on Toronto. Man, that's another great im see for Toronto.
395
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.440
Like I said, we got a
history together since Heavy Math, so
396
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.039
I sent him stuff all the time. And you know, we did the
397
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.519
project last year, I believe,
but yeah, before the last I believe
398
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.920
Africa Medallion's joint, you know,
so we always doing stuff together. That's
399
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.440
like it's still a fan too.
Yeah, man, I just realized as
400
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.799
you're talking, you got you know, California, you said, Canada yourself,
401
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.480
Chicago and Tone Spliff is on here
doing cuts right. Yeah, that's
402
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.559
the homing right there. Man,
Like he the illest terms of the cuts.
403
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.079
Man. You know he got his
own radio shows too. He doing
404
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.240
the thing, big man for the
honor, you know, to work with
405
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.839
him. Man, it's just crazy
to think about. It's not nothing really
406
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.359
local. I mean you're like you're
talking about before. You don't have to
407
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.920
be in the same studio and that's
all project like this comes together, right
408
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:41.400
because you've got people all over the
map and coming together and putting together this
409
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.759
project. That's what's it amazes me. And that that's what's so great about
410
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.519
the way technology is. You couldn't
do this twenty years ago. Bro,
411
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.200
you had to go through the city
for if you were the producer, you
412
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.920
had to go through the city to
get that natural shign you know what I'm
413
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.000
saying. For you don't have to
do that anymore. You know, the
414
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.319
game is so open now. And
you got people in Russia, Ukraine,
415
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.759
right, Zimbabwe, you know whatever
they're feeling this type of music. What's
416
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.599
like the craziest country You've gotten some
some you know something from like where you
417
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.640
heard like they got your project that
you someone heard it and you've got some
418
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.279
feedback on. But you know,
I feel, you know, vinyl on
419
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:17.000
stuff like that on my website.
So somebody bought a wetwork city from me
420
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.960
and then with some small town in
Germany. And I'm trying to find out
421
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.799
where I'm finding this to right,
because it's it's different when you fenced uf
422
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.960
to the mouth of difficulty and and
and and it's just crazy. I for
423
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.519
got it from probably in Germany,
was then never heard of before my life,
424
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.000
right, so like, wow,
that's that's crazy. So but a
425
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.319
lot of the people that like Boom
BAPTISTI stuff I'm doing are our people overseas.
426
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.279
They really love the culture man over
overseas cat we do too, but
427
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.359
I think like most of my people
are coming from over overseas though, yeah,
428
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.359
you know, you know how local
cats are. You know it's under
429
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.720
the next thing before you even know
it. And uh in other countries.
430
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.359
I haven't been to these places,
but I've seen online and people talking it
431
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.039
is that the culture seems like it's
always kept and there they don't try to
432
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.119
forget about the past or overlook it, and they're always looking for boombab,
433
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.839
but I don't think that'll ever go
away in places like you just mentioned.
434
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.319
So shout out overseas and it's definitely
more international's ever been as far as sharing
435
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.759
the product. Yeah, well they
also too, bro. It's like the
436
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.119
hip hop of the coaching, right. You got them saying, B boy
437
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.640
be boring, going DJ in and
MCing right. I think over thief over
438
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.680
here with just on the MC right
over there, everything you got people do
439
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.160
graph like you left nine see somebody
put a dope piece out in the streets
440
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.599
before right right, or somebody break
dance a B boy and B gun.
441
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.200
You don't see that no more at
the you know, and stuff like that.
442
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.039
He got the dance the gun kids
doing now. So I think over
443
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.839
see if they still in that lane
where they go they give respect to a
444
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:52.279
A meley male, oh a you
know old school cat like that. You
445
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.160
know, So that's love over there. You know that's true, man,
446
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.799
because like over here, it's about
what's new, what's coming up next.
447
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.480
It's almost like they forgot about what
you did yesterday. It's disposable, and
448
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.759
uh, there's there's some benefits of
that because you don't want to stay stagnant
449
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.839
and stay in the same you know, speed or lane. But yeah,
450
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.799
there's nothing wrong with keeping some of
the great things going and you know,
451
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.920
just maybe tinkering with them. So
yeah, man, no doubt, No
452
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.200
doubt, man. And since you
brought up kind of the old school,
453
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.480
I've been asking cats on here.
Obviously we just finished the fifty years of
454
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.480
hip hop last year. Was there
like a point in time for you,
455
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.799
like a song or an album or
anything or dance move that kind of sparked
456
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.880
it for you, that made you
fall in love with the culture and the
457
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.599
music. Well, I think I
always tell a story about the first thing
458
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.799
I ever heard. I was going
to the bubb they looking parade, my
459
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.640
little cousin and them. They introduced
me to a whole Dini. I'm a
460
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.920
whole. I'm a whole. That's
crazy. Yeah, yeah, right,
461
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:42.200
that first thing I ever really heard. I heard Rapper four, but I
462
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:47.079
really paid attention to that, right
and then and then Beastie boy Ever started
463
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.119
coming out Hold It Now. I
still play holding Now in the car all
464
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.119
the time, email us I hold
it Now. Hell yeah, that's a
465
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.000
joint right there. So Beastie Boys
and seeing him doing that at a high
466
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.279
level. Then I discovered all the
bit like El cool J and Pubbly Enemy.
467
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:00.960
So I want to say, really, deaf Jail was my first introduction,
468
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.519
and I don't know who didn't who
did they run jive right only be
469
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.559
right? They were on't drives on
but right for yeah, death introduction really
470
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.640
to rapping. Since then it took
off. I discovery Hell cool J,
471
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.200
I Bad and stuff like that,
and you know, so it just came
472
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.519
to that. Like the first thing
I want to say was that the first
473
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.839
thing made me fall in love.
The first album I want to say really
474
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:26.039
made me want to do it though, with Midnight Marauders by Pride, Man,
475
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.240
that's that happened right there. Man, the classic their rocket you know.
476
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.799
So yeah, that one. I
always argue, like low in Theory
477
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:34.720
and Midnight Marauders, there's no right
or wrong answer. They're both equal.
478
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.880
To me. I know a lot
of people like low End Theory is the
479
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.640
best one, but I can you
can flip it. I don't think there's
480
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.319
no wrong answer. I think both
are great and hold up to this day.
481
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:48.119
And h man, I'm a whole
that's a classic, right man.
482
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.720
You know, crazy ain't Waights and
stuff like that. Like this little bro
483
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:53.920
this because he tell me what it
was. I fell in love with it,
484
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.720
right with that echo or whatever in
the vocals, and uh, I
485
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.599
think because yeah, a code.
It was kind of cruel terms of like
486
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.240
you gonna do cord vocals like that. The more it really got me if
487
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.039
he was playing in a car and
that Ada Waits was like boom boom.
488
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.440
You know they was either a lot
of eighty eighths back if you right back
489
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.160
the East coast rap right, that's
where they came from, ad t alright
490
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.359
to wait. So when I heard
that, it founded so good in the
491
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.839
car and I can drive a car. You don't have to be like eleven
492
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.079
to twelve years old, I believe, right, But it was dope to
493
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.079
see the back of the trunk rattling
and I'm like, man, what is
494
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.880
this? Right? So, yeah, that was dope to me. The
495
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.480
sounds good thing. You didn't know
what they were actually talking about and that
496
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.200
song, I didn't figure out what
they're saying being a hole? What does
497
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.640
that mean? Right? Right?
I didn't know what that was. Like,
498
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:38.839
I didn't know. I'm twelve years
old. Man. There you go,
499
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.000
man, and you know that you
talk about BC boys earlier, you
500
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.279
know, Paul Revere holding out hit
it. I mean those songs in the
501
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.680
back of the car were just someum
big time back then. Anything made like
502
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.839
we're talking about the SP twelve hundred
and all that that ate away technology back
503
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.599
then. That's a lot of those
classic records are made. And that's why
504
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.519
you had that that bass sound in
them, man, right, right,
505
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.279
classic classics. Man. I went
to ask you one more thing about the
506
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.200
EP, the cover art. I
really think it's really cool. How you
507
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.480
did that. Talk about the inspiration
for that cover and who came up with
508
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:08.720
that with you? Well, g
FAM. I told him what I wanted
509
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:14.640
in terms of like one of some
that sales alpha and simplified house for right,
510
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.119
and he felt he cool he got
because g fam actually did all work
511
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.400
for the album. Cool Man the
EP, and he came back with that
512
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:22.720
and that's the first one he gang
with And I'm like, yo, I
513
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.240
need I need that. It fits
the album. You know, like a
514
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.640
keen and you don't look like me. I ain't that skinny, but I
515
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.599
have a beard though, so I
like kind of favored me a little bit,
516
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:36.359
right, you know what I'm saying. So I felt that's tight that's
517
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:37.640
dope. And he did the back
cover and the rest is history. But
518
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.200
that's that's g fam. I gave
him the idea. Man, he just
519
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.200
been in his bag and got it
together for me. You know, Man,
520
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:47.279
he's an ill illustrator right there to
be able to do something like that.
521
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.880
And yeah, I got kind of
got like a Huey Newton black Panther
522
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.319
vibe when I was looking at it, and it was, Man, it
523
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.440
really sets them. And the last
one had to Patrise O'Neil the first Alpha
524
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.880
because it was like a play on
elephant in the room. Right, So

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.240
his third time coming on here,
and there's only a few people have been
564
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:21.559
on that many times, so salute
to him. And generally what that means,
565
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.319
especially if you're a music artist that
tends to come on the most and
566
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:30.039
comes on multiple times, it means
you're putting out good material and You're letting
567
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.960
me know that you have good material. So I appreciate being kept in the
568
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.359
loop with a lot of these guests
that have been on here in the past
569
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:38.160
telling me like, yeah, I
got something else coming out. You want
570
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.079
to hear about it, you want
to talk about it, And I'm always
571
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:43.680
up for it. Not gonna get
into it too much. But there's not
572
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:45.839
too many people that have been on
here that I'm like, nah, I'm
573
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.279
good. It's maybe be like one
one dude. I'm not gonna say his
574
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.759
name. It's all good, whatever. But yeah, he talked about a
575
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.440
lot of good stuff in there,
and he had brought up the Bud Billickin
576
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.839
Parade, and he had heard Houdini's
on Mojo growing up in Chicago, and
577
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.400
I would see the commercials. I
think it was on Channel nine WGN for
578
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:09.679
the Bud Billican Parade. I've never
been to it, you know, I've
579
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:13.599
never been to I don't think I've
ever really been to many parades in my
580
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.840
life, to be honest. But
whenever I saw that the Bud Billikan Parade
581
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:21.920
was coming on, it always made
me a little bit disappointed because I knew
582
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.559
school was coming. Nothing to do
with the parade. It just it was
583
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:29.760
like the kickoff of school year,
like, oh, no, schools starting,
584
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.719
the summer's almost over. Like I
would always get like, uh,
585
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:37.280
maybe they'll go on strike and it'll
get a few extra days off, which
586
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.679
happened a couple times. I remember
in eighty seven. Oh it was great
587
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.800
because you didn't know when you're going
back to school, because like you'd be
588
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.239
out playing and then you go home
and your mom's like, yeah, uh,
589
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.519
you're going to school tomorrow. I'm
like, oh, damn. Just
590
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.960
we don't get like a like a
week lead into it. It just starts
591
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.159
right away, damn it. Yeh
eighty seven, I remember we were out
592
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.639
of school for it felt like three
or four weeks. It probably was like
593
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:06.159
ten days. But that strike lasted
a while and that summer was extended.
594
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.440
Man, that was great. So
yeah, Bud Billikin parade. Awesome parade.
595
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:13.639
I love what they do. But
unfortunately for me, it always meant
596
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:19.920
that summer was over and school was
starting. Yay. So let's play Another
597

I'm just just just remember the mess to
630
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:23.840

invincible, remember the event? Ne Yo,
631
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.760
what up? It's your boy Big
Crown Music. You're not listening to
632
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:31.920
Infinite Band of podcast. It's time
for you to leave assholds. That is
633
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.480
Kirk osa Vedo told me it's time
to go, and that is exactly what
634
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.400
I'm going to do. But before
I get out of here, a couple
635
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.280
of quick things. Just wanted to
bring up that the finale for The Ones
636
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.760
Who Lived The Walking Dead show featuring
Rick and Maschone just ended. I'm not
637
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.039
gonna give a review about it or
anything, so I don't want to spoil
638
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:49.920
anything, but definitely go check it
out. Is it the best thing they've
639
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.599
ever done? No? Is it
better than anything you've done in the last
640
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.320
few years? Yes, so the
bar is really low for that show.
641
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.280
But at least this show kind of
got me back into it again, and
642
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.880
it just the show. You can't
take the two best players off of a
643
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:05.280
show and expect it to still be
good, you know. It's kind of
644
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.639
like watching the Bulls after they took
you know, Jordan Pippin off you know,
645
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:13.639
The Walking Dead became the Dicky Simpkins
and Randy Brown Show, so it
646
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.159
didn't really work for me, so
I still watched it because I'm a completist,
647
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.679
I guess. But it was good
to see Rick and Michon back on
648
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:22.280
my TV again. So definitely go
check it out you have not seen it.
649
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:27.519
Also want to let you guys know
WrestleMania forty is this weekend. You
650
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:30.000
know, for the last couple of
years, wrestling has kind of taken a
651
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.039
back seat for me. I haven't
really watched it as intently as I used
652
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:35.800
to. It's on the TV,
but it's kind of like background noise these
653
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:37.920
days, but it start they're dealing
with the Rock coming back has definitely got
654
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.599
my interest, so when he's on
my TV, I pay attention. So
655
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:44.760
definitely looking forward to see and if
he has anything in the tank, because
656
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:46.480
he's gonna be wrestling, so it's
gonna be fun to see. Definitely,
657
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:51.880
element wrestling fans out there, you'll
be watching WrestleMania forty this coming weekend.
658
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.519
And I also wanted to shout out
davit Tell, one of my favorite comedians.
659
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.960
He has a new stand up special
on Netflix called Hot Cross buns.
660
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:00.679
Go check that out. I've seen
him live a couple of times. He's
661
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:05.360
easily one of my favorite comedians I've
ever seen live and of all time,
662
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:09.000
So go check that out. It's
hilarious. My man is just doing his
663
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.400
thing with a recorder, which I
never thought could be funny and last,
664
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.360
but definitely not least. You know, before I started recording the show here,
665
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.719
one of my favorite comedic actors,
Joe Flaherty, passed away, and
666
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:27.000
I grew up a big fan of
SCTV, which essentially was like the Canadian
667
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.639
version of Saturday Night Live. And
I don't mean this as a hot take,
668
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.000
but personally, for me, I
always like SETV more than Saturday Night
669
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.159
Live. I know SARENT Live is
still going, the roster of stars is
670
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:43.679
almost endless, but SETV that core
group was just to me. You know,
671
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:50.079
legendary John Candy and Katain O'Hara,
Eugene Levy, Martin Schwortz, Rick
672
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:52.360
Moranis. I mean, so many
great actors and actresses from that show.
673
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:57.039
I went on to do great things
as well. And Joe Flaherty freaksing geeks
674
00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.079
is probably what a lot of people
know him for, but he had a
675
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:00.360
pardon back to the few. Sure, he had a part in like Happy
676
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:07.440
Gilmore, He is small roles that
definitely were very memorable and on SETV he
677
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:09.440
was one of the you know,
standouts of course, and one of my
678
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:13.920
favorite characters he played was Count Floyd, which is kind of like a Svengooli
679
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.079
kind of show. They would do
as a skit, I think it's called
680
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:21.199
monster Chiller Horror Theater and he'd come
out and introduce like a really bad movie
681
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:22.719
that's supposed to be scary, and
he'd kind of talking up, this is
682
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:28.320
so scady, monster Chilla holda theater
and he'd come out and how he like
683
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.480
you would do like a wolf howl
as a vampire come out the casket.
684
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.199
And John Candy played Doctor Tongue who
was in a lot of these quote unquote
685
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.320
bad movies, and Eugene love You
played Bruno was kind of like the uh,
686
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:45.800
you know, the hunchback Igor igor
depending on how you want to pronounce
687
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.960
it, you know, young Frankenstein
reference there. So they were hilarious.
688
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.840
They used to do these bits where
they had It was during the craze of
689
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.119
like three D, so they would
have these bits on there where they'd say
690
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.599
it's a three D movie and John
Candy's character would be holding something it is,
691
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.119
like kind of pushing it towards the
video screen towards the camera to make
692
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:05.239
it look like it's three D,
like it's coming out at you, and
693
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:07.280
to be so scady. So yeah, I'm a big fan of Joe Flaherty.
694
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.679
Definitely sad to see he passed.
And I grew up on SCTV.
695
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.320
I used to buy those old Kodak
VHS tapes and I remember Nick and Knight
696
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.159
would air them back in the late
eighties and I had that VCR running to
697
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.280
record those all the time. And
I couldn't even tell you how many tapes
698
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:28.679
I probably have down in the storage
full of SCTV episodes on those VHS tapes.
699
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:31.400
So Joe Flaherty was great. You
know, The Sammy Maudlin Show is
700
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:35.639
another character played a lot. He
played a lot of like like the salesman
701
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:37.119
guy or something I never did,
like a commercial or something. He'd be
702
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.239
like that. But he was very
good at what he did, and I
703
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:44.719
think he didn't get enough credit while
he was here, So definitely want to
704
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.840
give him his props. But if
you've never seen Joe Flaherty's work on SETV.
705
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:52.679
Just type in count Floyd. He's
hilarious in that it's just some of
706
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.639
the funniest bits. I've been watching
a bunch of them since I saw that
707
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.360
he passed, So rest in piece
of Joe Flaherty. This is the Infinite

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.639
It definitely is a is a jump
off point for me as well in the
27
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.280
mid eighties late eighties when you're first
getting into this stuff. I remember buying
28
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.560
Bigger and depfor at one of those
record stores. I still have the cassette
29
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.960
tape and it was ad I might
have talked about this before. There's a
30
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:44.560
place called the Record Exchange in Chicago. I think it was on Clark Street
31
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.080
and man, I forget forget the
intersection, but it was near one of
32
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.400
the CTA stops. I think the
Brown Line anyway. Yeah, the guy
33
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.439
had to come out with the keys
because that's when they had the tapes behind
34
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.560
the glass case. So I'd like
point at it. You know what's only
35
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.800
like I don't know, ten or
eleven years old and I'm pointing. I
36
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.240
want that one Doe to come over
with the keys, open it up,
37
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.639
pull it out there. It was
so yeah, Bigger and Deff forgot continuous
38
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.759
play on the old Walkman that I
had back then, along with various other
39
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.919
tapes. So salute fifty years of
hip hop and big up to mister Misfit.

lot of dough all in the Bends with
72
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.439
my friends blowing a lot of drove
this decline and the plans diabolical. I
73
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.079
hit the ham about high spoke.
We live four to five, singing like
74
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.000
a choir. Broke I remote mad
quiet quotes. I didn't the man had
75
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.279
to track motion line know. I
live fast, but I'm most science slow.
76
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.399
I'm in the past with your baying
a whole lot of soaps, and
77
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.199
I'm gonna see it's being conjugated.
Who your friends? It depends who damn
78
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.120
the bang it is? Did you
ask me the hot little prepopulated adding money
79
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.959
till the mix ship gets complicated?
Yeah, I'm gonna probably stay underrated,
80
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:44.319
but Durian honey don't speak. He
ain't obligator eyes. Two cars and a
81
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.839
two door garage. My two eyes
will see two cops in dodge. Two
82
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.079
Asians, give me two hand massage. Two heads are better than one from
83
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.920
two garage. Two sides to a
coin of playing the odds. Heads or
84
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.480
tails? Got our backup scale that's
recharged to a pair of these two versus
85
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.000
go hard. Two wings make me
fly seeing two stars only two of us
86
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.000
Heaven and hell, black or white? Men and women do the sind and
87
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.879
guarden. Devil is the type?
Left or right? And what's your choice?

Be happy on a bike or cry
in the royce which your poor?

bit. You know, everybody doesn't

came out like that. You know.
120
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.080
I did Elegance, one of the
songs I did with Chilly first and we
121
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.360
put him on there. And then
the song he did with Dante feel Free,
122
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.720
the old joint we did a couple
of years ago that I'm finishing up
123
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.639
because I mix a master and you
know, we put on Alpha too because
124
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.039
it's fitted, you know, yeah, man, and he's him and my
125
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.960
guy g Fan Black. When I
see that they're on a project, I
126
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.519
just know that it's going to be
something to deal with. Talk about also
127
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.519
having g Fan Black on here and
probably my favorite track ninety two Diamond d
128
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.279
Oh, that's the homie man,

Tally p Row and other whatever.
We like family, you know, like
131
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.039
it stand in the family. So
I did that last summer. I believe
132
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.200
I dropped it as a single kind
of under the radar man. So I'll
133
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.000
try, you know, mix and
remastered, me mix some master putting alone
134
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.840
there. But yeah, we found
man, we're doing. We got a
135
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.399
lot of history together, h You
know g family and his crew, the
136
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.279
knuckle Draggers, you know, yeah, g Fan Black. If you don't
137
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.600
know, I mean as soon as
you hear that, that intensity he brings
138
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.159
grimey. Yeah, man, and
you guys have worked together a lot in
139
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.360
the past. So no, no
shocker to see him on here, no
140
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.240
doubt, no doubt. Got a
great great Crimincy together, me and him,
141
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.799
you know. Yeah, man,
you guys, I'm guessing you probably
142
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.720
had more work in the future.
I mean, I just never even ask
143
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.440
that question, right, you guys
always doing it, We always working.
144
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.919
I'm boroking on Alpha three. Now
he's gonna be on there. I got
145
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.240
fit him some track. See now
you jumped the gun here because Alpha three
146
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.879
was gonna be one of my last
questions that I've ah, You're you're good,
147
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.360
man, so you might as well
get into it. So there's gonna
148
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.519
be a third one. There's got
to be a trilogy, right right,
149
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.639
you know, it's a series,
man. So I'm trying to drive two
150
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.399
more from this year EPs because we
don't do like six seven songs, man,
151
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.639
So it should be so hard,
man, just just pump the industry
152
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.960
up with with a bunch of material
for me and the home team. You
153
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.559
got a lot of stuff coming together
as a whole. So it's trying to
154
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.480
fill that void, man, give
the fans something and get people to support
155
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.559
to something. You know, they
they can rock to for the rest of
156
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.399
the year, you know. And
that's the thing too, Like do you
157
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.919
try with each project, especially since
you have them coming out, you know,
158
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.639
pretty close together. Are you conscious
of like, Okay, I want
159
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.120
this one definitely to sound different than
the other one, or do you kind
160
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.960
of want them to kind of almost
like mesh together. They are like one
161
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.759
long project in a way. Well, I can't think like the one long
162
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.559
projects. I want them be able
to If I did put all four,
163
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.200
three or four out on vaumes together
of the Alpha, man, this it
164
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.440
could be like one long project.
Man. But it's just the vibe I
165
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.200
being on for the last year so
and everybody I rock with it on the
166
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.559
same vibe. So it makes it
easy for me to create this, yeah,
167
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.559
without a doubt. Man, And
people who heard the first Alpha project
168
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.639
came out what two years ago?
Yeah? I believe around twenty twenty one,
169
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.559
I believe. Yeah, what should
people like if that's the only thing
170
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.200
they've heard from you? What should
they expect in Alpha two? It's been
171
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.879
a bit, Yeah, been a
bit. I've been doing other stuff.
172
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.159
It's my first project in a minute, just for me. But the first
173
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.480
Alpha, you know, I did
it with another producer named Tom beach Is
174
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.360
just then the family of Home team
again, a lot of people to work
175
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.320
with them, so we got together
did the Alpha. So I decided to
176
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.720
do it myself this time because I
was that's that kind of mold I'm in
177
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.240
right now, so, you know, so to suspect, like say,
178
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.559
name of Alpha Man, Doe beats
though rhymes. Try to keep it close
179
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.440
to the effens as I can,
because I'm an old school type of cap
180
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:41.879
in terms of hip hop. You
know. So that's the you know,
181
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.320
Doe Brian's Man boom back, you
know, the stuff that people really been
182
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.639
longer for for a minute. Yeah, man, we're always such as old
183
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.279
heads, you know, over forty
heads, always looking for that. I
184
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.159
like the feel of this Album's got
a lot of like a kind of like
185
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.480
a jazz vibe a little bit.
Was that something intentional? Is that something
186
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.759
you go to sometimes? Well,
it's just my lane since I've been doing
187
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.240
beats, man, it's something that
you know, I came up in the
188
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.919
nineties terms of beat nuts and and
t rock. You know that type of
189
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.639
d I T C. Who was
one of the crews I like to be
190
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.039
mentioned with Mantle those top beat from
Bucky diamond D. That's what I grew
191
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.600
up listened to. That's kind of
vibe I always own. Now I may
192
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.080
go to other other dramas and stuff
like that, but I love the javvy,
193
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.080
laid back type of vibe, you
know. And that only makes sense
194
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.279
that that one track I was talking
about earlier with g Fan Black called diamond
195
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.759
D ninety two diamond D. So
that's that's that production, right, that's
196
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.360
it is that kind of what you're
when you were making that song and that
197
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.840
and you came up with that title. Was it more that like the beat
198
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.840
felt like it could be something from
that era that maybe Diamond D would have
199
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.320
done, or were you just kind
of inspired or do something like Diamon D
200
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.519
would do, Like how did you
come up with that idea? It just
201
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.720
listening to it, and I would
listening at the same So I listened a
202
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.440
lot of old albums when I put
just creating stuff, So I would listen
203
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.919
to a lot of the first joint
he did with telling what got a one
204
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.919
track mine own? Love that record
to hip hop right, Yeah, I
205
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.919
mean to me and fit that vibe. But it was doing it back then,
206
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.200
and that's one of the producers I
look up to, like I've ever
207
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.960
meet him one day and I may
I may just had it like be in
208
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.559
shocked, like he's one of the
dope't producers out there. NMC. You
209
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.120
know he did both. Yeah,
he does both. He still do it,
210
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.840
and I'm sorry none of passed since
he still does it and it's game
211
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.080
at a high level. But yeah, when I when I did it,
212
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.320
and it's sounded like something that diamond
It done, like something like show ag
213
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.600
ag would have wrapped over something like
that. So that's how that title came
214
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.360
about. Man not trying to green
mushroom you here with the one up.
215
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.519
But I got to meet Diamond D
one time and he did a DJ set.
216
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.039
Man, this had to be like
fifteen years ago at Lava Lounge,
217
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.960
uh with that place. Yeah,
And I brought my Stunts Blunts album with
218
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.919
me and he signed it. I
had it in the car because I felt
219
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.919
like a nerd carrying it inside the
club to the club and Diamond He's like,
220
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.519
man, you got the record,
bring it in. I'm like all
221
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.240
right, I'll be right back to
the car and he signed it. I
222
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.320
should send you a picture of it. But he was like mad cool and
223
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.200
it was just an honor just to
be in his presence. Man, Like
224
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.399
you just said, Sallie's got a
one track mind U? So when the
225
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.240
best kept secret? What's that track? Deaft capt speaker right, he had
226
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.120
a joint. I liked the brand, knew me and IM about to take
227
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.799
New York ship. But that's what
busts around you the same beat. I
228
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.720
forgot the name of the soul,
but the album, it is like me,
229
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.279
that's dope that you be able to
meet him and he signed the album.
230
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.960
That's the original album had when it
came out. Yeah, I believe
231
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.279
so I believe it is an original. I like I said, I got
232
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.799
to take a picture and send it
to you, but I was just mad,
233
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.679
geeked and too bro. It's like
I forgot about it almost because you
234
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.600
started talking about Like, wait a
minute, think, yeah it did me,
235
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.919
Diamond, What am I talking about
it? There's a picture somewhere on
236
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.759
Instagram. I should probably post it
if I haven't already. But yeah,
237
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.720
man, he is definitely. Then
they have like a top producer list that
238
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.320
came out recently. I hope.
I'm trying to remember if he was on
239
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.480
that list. If he wasn't,
it's a damn shame. Yeah he depends,
240
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.879
so like you know, we actually
doing the list though, so like
241
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.600
I mean, we go ahead so
we know about him and even you know,
242
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:50.399
yeah, man, he's d I
TC as a whole, I mean,
243
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.399
show biz and AG and you know
all this stuff that came out with
244
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.399
that camp. I mean, they
definitely repped it every time they came out
245
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.480
with something, and you gotta you
gotta respect the architects like that. You
246
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.559
have to. And do you talk
about this new album, this Alpha two,
247
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.440
was there like a concept in mind
before you started working on it,
248
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.399
Like what's kind of the process.
You have beats and you're like, okay,
249
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.399
this could be for Alpha two or
did you set out like okay,
250
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.679
I wanted to sound like this,
like how did that come about when you
251
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.120
first started coming up with the idea. I wanted to do the Alpha too
252
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.480
right? So I had to get
in that mold, and I said,
253
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.720
the beast actually to me represented let
me get to the MCS. I think,
254
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:27.480
well, because the alpha is all
about being the best right of being
255
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.440
the top dog, the apex preduct
that you want to call it right.
256
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.159
So I wanted to bet with people
in the underground that actually was actually doing
257
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.320
it doing in a high level.
So I got the beasts together and so
258
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.799
I started stuff out, sending stuff
out, beats out. I started this
259
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.159
process last spring. First thing we
have to record was you know, the
260
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.960
ninety two diamond D joint. But
g fam you know, so now I
261
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.399
like to take my time, which
I did, and I think it hit
262
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:52.799
the market terms what I was trying
to do, what I'm trying to portray
263
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.240
terms with the title Alpha too,
man, no doubt when you're making a
264
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.840
beat right and you because I was
wondering, wondered this of people who make
265
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.639
production and beats and such, because
you've got a couple obviously features on here
266
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.119
when you're thinking of MC's is it
more I'm making the beating, like man,
267
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.279
gief Fan Black would kill this or
is it more you send a bunch
268
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.799
of stuff to g Fan Black and
he comes back, I want this one.
269
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.960
Like how what's the process for that? Too? Well? Both,
270
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.720
man, I do stuff all the
time. I'm like, yo, like
271
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.400
new. I send some of the
new Villain for the Alpha three project,
272
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.359
and right away he did something to
it that has done songs in the past
273
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.720
with them, Well, I think
to be perfect for you, like he
274
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.039
passed on them. You know.
So I think it depends on what kind
275
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.440
of mood mood that the artists are
in. But I do both ways.
276
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.759
Like with the they said with the
Alpha two, I was, this is
277
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.519
stuff I think that they should rap
over. Right, maybe I'll see them
278
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.240
rapping over And like I said,
ninety two Diamond the g FAM he recorded
279
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.160
a right away, so he knew
to convince him or anything. Okay,
280
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.359
sometimes I'm new. Well, sometimes
you may send something to somebody. They
281
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.440
may not like it now, but
like a year later it goes. But
282
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.759
go about what they're doing right now
they want to do something with But actually
283
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.519
depends, you know, terms out
how the artists feel that time I was
284
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.160
one and two. If you ever
get like, okay, I gotta beat
285
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.519
here. I know this person's gonna
kill it, you send it and they're
286
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.039
like that's okay, and you're like, WHOA. Expect that reaction. You
287
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.680
get that too. They alp all
the time and you can't get offended.
288
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.799
I'm like, they may not see
the vision as good as that, But
289
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.119
to me, could be talking about
d A t C. Was that bol
290
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:21.319
being I heard Buckbow did you know? From d I t C. And
291
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.200
a lot of people passed on it? From DV down on. Not a
292
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:26.319
lot of people passed on it.
The Black Rob saw something in it,
293
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.480
you know, and became a hit
for him. He known for whoa.
294
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.480
You know what I'm saying to this
day. So it depends what the artist
295
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.119
is on and they vibe they on
to that particular time. That makes sense
296
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.079
too, because the artists might just
not be in the right space for the
297
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.440
kind of beat that you put together. And it's nothing to do with the
298
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.079
quality or how good it is,
right Okay, I can't think of can't
299
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.400
be mad at that, you know, can't be at all. That's how
300
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.920
the game goes. And I bet
you've probably gotten calls or emails or whatever,
301
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.519
like, hey, man, remember
that thing you set me here?
302
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.960
You still have that file somewhere,
right, yeah, now plenty of time,
303
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.599
tis right, that's crazy. You
can't delete anything. I'm guessing you've
304
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.160
got beats that are probably sitting there
that you thought get used and not not
305
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:08.920
yet, right, bro, I
got beats back for the nineties, old
306
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:14.920
floppy disc. I don't think the
floppy the zip zip drive back from the
307
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.559
two thousand X fail. Yeah,
man, do you ever go back to
308
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:19.880
those old beats? And like,
man, what was I thinking? This
309
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.079
is? This is not good?
Or you surprised at how good you were
310
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:27.200
back in the early days, saying
because some beats like the elegants beat.
311
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.440
I did that the famous emblement on
people. I heard it before, but
312
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.960
we don't do sampleth peninsua, right. But I did that originally back in
313
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.319
two thousand and three, right,
and I had it was on an old
314
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.920
hot drive, so I redid it. It found a different I flowed it
315
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.440
down it found it like from that
era. I was then then, right,
316
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.359
but I did a couple of times
some beats I ain't done in the
317
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.519
past. I just redid it,
remixed. Nobody heard it or the wrap.
318
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.599
I did something that they didn't want
to do it no more, and
319
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.319
I just redid it and you know, put it back out there. So
320
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:00.480
that happens all the time for me. Yeah, I bet it. You
321
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.119
could take an old beat and either
like polish it up or add maybe something
322
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.400
to it drums right, put a
baseline to it, may put a thinger
323
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.279
on it, maybe chop it different. And I was thinking back, I
324
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.839
chopped different from now than I did
when I was two thousand and three,
325
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.000
you know, totally different how I
hear a sample and reconstructive now than I
326
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.759
did back when I was younger.
Man, it's just crazy to think about,
327
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.960
like the progression, right and and
the technology. I mean, it's
328
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.200
not even just like your your way
of putting it together. You're changing with
329
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.720
the technology also, right, hey, bro? Yeah, when I first
330
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.240
did this beat first there. First
I was in high school. We did
331
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.920
a beat. I ain't know what
I was doing on SP twelve hundred right
332
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:38.599
then. All I was doing I
couldn't catch the beat back then. You
333
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:41.680
know, they it was only like
like twenty seconds, I believe, and
334
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.039
then you had to to go past
that. You had to actually speed the
335
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.599
record up on the vinyl up to
feed it. Love to give more sample
336
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.920
time, but we have very limited
sample time back in the days we first
337
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.240
started this in the game, man, Now just unlimitedd then instead of you
338
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.720
know, we chop every I chill
chop every day by hand, Like when
339
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.160
I hear something in a wave,
I chopping myself on the start of endpoints.
340
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.279
Now they got stuff now where you
can in the computer with chopping for
341
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.000
you. That's crazy, but they
think right, I mean, you don't
342
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.279
even have to sit there, you
know, we do it. We did.
343
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.960
It takes sometimes all day to get
the perfect chop of how you want
344
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.599
stuff to play it properly. Now
it's just totally different, man. So
345
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.319
yeah, technology has changed the game
in terms of production, even im seeing
346
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:23.839
you know, rapping people don't have
to be in the same studio anymore.
347
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.880
We got right sects now, pro
toos and stuff like that. So it's
348
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.839
crazy. From where we came from. I remember hearing the story about I
349
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.279
don't know what song it was,
but an early EPM D era when they're
350
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.519
putting something together. They had a
reel to reel going from like door knobs
351
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.599
to like chairs and things, and
like that's how they looped the beat,
352
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.200
right, man, that's crazy stuff
out that stuff sound is a lot of
353
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.000
that stuff, dope by how they
had changes in the in the structure of
354
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.079
the beats and stuff like that.
I'm like, how they did it doing
355
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.440
off a tape, real real tape. It's crazy, man. Yeah,
356
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.519
so you got pro toos now and
you said SB twelve hundred. I mean
357
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.839
so many classics are made on that
machine too, right, right, and
358
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.440
think about that. I had third
limited sample time like Pete Rock he did
359
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.759
that his famous most famous beats on
that. He only had limited sample time,
360
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:08.519
but he had a lot of stuff
going on. He's mob and casting
361
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.920
like that. So that's crazy.
Many mob. There's another one who doesn't
362
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:15.880
get enough props. Man, salute
to easy Mobile Man. Oh, he
363
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.200
was an instrumental man to all in
college when he came out with Matter of
364
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.559
Fact, Craig mac and he with
the bad Boy for that whole era.
365
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:26.920
Man, he kicked it off,
man because he really that's the phone that
366
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.599
kicked him off. A bad boy
Man. Then the remix came out and
367
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.440
Perry's Big Man, So yeah,
hit that sound and hething he did stuff
368
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:38.920
with tupacet Big that he came.
Let's not forget that man dropped that what's
369
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.000
that Tupac joint temptations? Yeah,
right, so yeah, that's a legend
370
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.880
right there. Yeah, shout out
to Easy Mob. And I remember again
371
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.559
that production list when it came out. I was like, I don't see
372
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.599
Easy Mobe on here. I remember
that being like an omission that I've kind
373
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.400
of scratched my head about. Yeah, but you know, there's a lot
374
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.640
of great producers, of course,
and you know, just like any list
375
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.400
that's all, he's gonna be missing
somebody or something. I could be ranked
376
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.400
high enough or too low or whatever. But yeah, Easy Mob Man definitely
377
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.000
one of the all time great producers. And let's get back to this EP
378
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.359
right here. And you mentioned New
Villain earlier. He's on the intro track
379
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.119
talk about working on that one.
Yeah, Man, we just came out.
380
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.039
I was like, hey, I
ft the b down this one of
381
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:19.440
the other one. I put the
beat out to him and he was digging
382
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.640
it. He said, with it
what I need? I said, man,
383
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.240
give him like twenty four balls it's
gonna be intro. Flex should the
384
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.039
intro and if he did, he
gave it to me. I got it
385
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.160
within a couple of weeks. But
that's another guy, man, go both
386
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.119
fight, both wave in terms of
like the production of what kind of songs
387
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.279
we do. Because sometimes I find
him something he wanted to write, he
388
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:37.160
do it right away, but sometimes
I send him something like a I gonna
389
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.359
pass on this man. So,
like I say, it depends on the
390
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.319
vibe that New Vino and any any
EMC is on that particular time. Yeah,
391
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.759
that's what's going on man. And
like I said, you get some
392
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.559
great features on here. Can overlook
d NTE talk about him being on a
393
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.839
couple of tracks too. Yeah that's
the only man. Yeah, I think
394
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.400
that Canada connection on Toronto. Man, that's another great im see for Toronto.
395
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.440
Like I said, we got a
history together since Heavy Math, so
396
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:03.039
I sent him stuff all the time. And you know, we did the
397
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.519
project last year, I believe,
but yeah, before the last I believe
398
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.920
Africa Medallion's joint, you know,
so we always doing stuff together. That's
399
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.440
like it's still a fan too.
Yeah, man, I just realized as
400
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.799
you're talking, you got you know, California, you said, Canada yourself,
401
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.480
Chicago and Tone Spliff is on here
doing cuts right. Yeah, that's
402
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.559
the homing right there. Man,
Like he the illest terms of the cuts.
403
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.079
Man. You know he got his
own radio shows too. He doing
404
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.240
the thing, big man for the
honor, you know, to work with
405
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.839
him. Man, it's just crazy
to think about. It's not nothing really
406
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.359
local. I mean you're like you're
talking about before. You don't have to
407
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.920
be in the same studio and that's
all project like this comes together, right
408
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:41.400
because you've got people all over the
map and coming together and putting together this
409
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.759
project. That's what's it amazes me. And that that's what's so great about
410
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.519
the way technology is. You couldn't
do this twenty years ago. Bro,
411
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:49.200
you had to go through the city
for if you were the producer, you
412
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.920
had to go through the city to
get that natural shign you know what I'm
413
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.000
saying. For you don't have to
do that anymore. You know, the
414
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.319
game is so open now. And
you got people in Russia, Ukraine,
415
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.759
right, Zimbabwe, you know whatever
they're feeling this type of music. What's
416
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.599
like the craziest country You've gotten some
some you know something from like where you
417
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.640
heard like they got your project that
you someone heard it and you've got some
418
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.279
feedback on. But you know,
I feel, you know, vinyl on
419
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:17.000
stuff like that on my website.
So somebody bought a wetwork city from me
420
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.960
and then with some small town in
Germany. And I'm trying to find out
421
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:25.799
where I'm finding this to right,
because it's it's different when you fenced uf
422
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.960
to the mouth of difficulty and and
and and it's just crazy. I for
423
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.519
got it from probably in Germany,
was then never heard of before my life,
424
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.000
right, so like, wow,
that's that's crazy. So but a
425
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.319
lot of the people that like Boom
BAPTISTI stuff I'm doing are our people overseas.
426
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.279
They really love the culture man over
overseas cat we do too, but
427
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.359
I think like most of my people
are coming from over overseas though, yeah,
428
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:52.359
you know, you know how local
cats are. You know it's under
429
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.720
the next thing before you even know
it. And uh in other countries.
430
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.359
I haven't been to these places,
but I've seen online and people talking it
431
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.039
is that the culture seems like it's
always kept and there they don't try to
432
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.119
forget about the past or overlook it, and they're always looking for boombab,
433
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:11.839
but I don't think that'll ever go
away in places like you just mentioned.
434
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.319
So shout out overseas and it's definitely
more international's ever been as far as sharing
435
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.759
the product. Yeah, well they
also too, bro. It's like the
436
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.119
hip hop of the coaching, right. You got them saying, B boy
437
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.640
be boring, going DJ in and
MCing right. I think over thief over
438
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.680
here with just on the MC right
over there, everything you got people do
439
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.160
graph like you left nine see somebody
put a dope piece out in the streets
440
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.599
before right right, or somebody break
dance a B boy and B gun.
441
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.200
You don't see that no more at
the you know, and stuff like that.
442
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.039
He got the dance the gun kids
doing now. So I think over
443
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.839
see if they still in that lane
where they go they give respect to a
444
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:52.279
A meley male, oh a you
know old school cat like that. You
445
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.160
know, So that's love over there. You know that's true, man,
446
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.799
because like over here, it's about
what's new, what's coming up next.
447
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.480
It's almost like they forgot about what
you did yesterday. It's disposable, and
448
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.759
uh, there's there's some benefits of
that because you don't want to stay stagnant
449
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.839
and stay in the same you know, speed or lane. But yeah,
450
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.799
there's nothing wrong with keeping some of
the great things going and you know,
451
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.920
just maybe tinkering with them. So
yeah, man, no doubt, No
452
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.200
doubt, man. And since you
brought up kind of the old school,
453
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.480
I've been asking cats on here.
Obviously we just finished the fifty years of
454
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.480
hip hop last year. Was there
like a point in time for you,
455
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.799
like a song or an album or
anything or dance move that kind of sparked
456
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.880
it for you, that made you
fall in love with the culture and the
457
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.599
music. Well, I think I
always tell a story about the first thing
458
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.799
I ever heard. I was going
to the bubb they looking parade, my
459
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.640
little cousin and them. They introduced
me to a whole Dini. I'm a
460
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.920
whole. I'm a whole. That's
crazy. Yeah, yeah, right,
461
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:42.200
that first thing I ever really heard. I heard Rapper four, but I
462
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:47.079
really paid attention to that, right
and then and then Beastie boy Ever started
463
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.119
coming out Hold It Now. I
still play holding Now in the car all
464
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.119
the time, email us I hold
it Now. Hell yeah, that's a
465
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.000
joint right there. So Beastie Boys
and seeing him doing that at a high
466
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.279
level. Then I discovered all the
bit like El cool J and Pubbly Enemy.
467
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:00.960
So I want to say, really, deaf Jail was my first introduction,
468
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.519
and I don't know who didn't who
did they run jive right only be
469
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.559
right? They were on't drives on
but right for yeah, death introduction really
470
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.640
to rapping. Since then it took
off. I discovery Hell cool J,
471
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.200
I Bad and stuff like that,
and you know, so it just came
472
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.519
to that. Like the first thing
I want to say was that the first
473
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.839
thing made me fall in love.
The first album I want to say really
474
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:26.039
made me want to do it though, with Midnight Marauders by Pride, Man,
475
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.240
that's that happened right there. Man, the classic their rocket you know.
476
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.799
So yeah, that one. I
always argue, like low in Theory
477
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:34.720
and Midnight Marauders, there's no right
or wrong answer. They're both equal.
478
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.880
To me. I know a lot
of people like low End Theory is the
479
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.640
best one, but I can you
can flip it. I don't think there's
480
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.319
no wrong answer. I think both
are great and hold up to this day.
481
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:48.119
And h man, I'm a whole
that's a classic, right man.
482
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.720
You know, crazy ain't Waights and
stuff like that. Like this little bro
483
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:53.920
this because he tell me what it
was. I fell in love with it,
484
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.720
right with that echo or whatever in
the vocals, and uh, I
485
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.599
think because yeah, a code.
It was kind of cruel terms of like
486
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.240
you gonna do cord vocals like that. The more it really got me if
487
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.039
he was playing in a car and
that Ada Waits was like boom boom.
488
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.440
You know they was either a lot
of eighty eighths back if you right back
489
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.160
the East coast rap right, that's
where they came from, ad t alright
490
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.359
to wait. So when I heard
that, it founded so good in the
491
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.839
car and I can drive a car. You don't have to be like eleven
492
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.079
to twelve years old, I believe, right, But it was dope to
493
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.079
see the back of the trunk rattling
and I'm like, man, what is
494
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.880
this? Right? So, yeah, that was dope to me. The
495
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.480
sounds good thing. You didn't know
what they were actually talking about and that
496
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.200
song, I didn't figure out what
they're saying being a hole? What does
497
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.640
that mean? Right? Right?
I didn't know what that was. Like,
498
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:38.839
I didn't know. I'm twelve years
old. Man. There you go,
499
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.000
man, and you know that you
talk about BC boys earlier, you
500
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.279
know, Paul Revere holding out hit
it. I mean those songs in the
501
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.680
back of the car were just someum
big time back then. Anything made like
502
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.839
we're talking about the SP twelve hundred
and all that that ate away technology back
503
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.599
then. That's a lot of those
classic records are made. And that's why
504
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.519
you had that that bass sound in
them, man, right, right,
505
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.279
classic classics. Man. I went
to ask you one more thing about the
506
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.200
EP, the cover art. I
really think it's really cool. How you
507
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.480
did that. Talk about the inspiration
for that cover and who came up with
508
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:08.720
that with you? Well, g
FAM. I told him what I wanted
509
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:14.640
in terms of like one of some
that sales alpha and simplified house for right,
510
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.119
and he felt he cool he got
because g fam actually did all work
511
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.400
for the album. Cool Man the
EP, and he came back with that
512
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:22.720
and that's the first one he gang
with And I'm like, yo, I
513
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.240
need I need that. It fits
the album. You know, like a
514
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.640
keen and you don't look like me. I ain't that skinny, but I
515
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.599
have a beard though, so I
like kind of favored me a little bit,
516
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:36.359
right, you know what I'm saying. So I felt that's tight that's
517
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:37.640
dope. And he did the back
cover and the rest is history. But
518
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.200
that's that's g fam. I gave
him the idea. Man, he just
519
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.200
been in his bag and got it
together for me. You know, Man,
520
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:47.279
he's an ill illustrator right there to
be able to do something like that.
521
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.880
And yeah, I got kind of
got like a Huey Newton black Panther
522
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:52.319
vibe when I was looking at it, and it was, Man, it
523
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.440
really sets them. And the last
one had to Patrise O'Neil the first Alpha
524
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.880
because it was like a play on
elephant in the room. Right, So

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:16.240
his third time coming on here,
and there's only a few people have been
564
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:21.559
on that many times, so salute
to him. And generally what that means,
565
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.319
especially if you're a music artist that
tends to come on the most and
566
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:30.039
comes on multiple times, it means
you're putting out good material and You're letting
567
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.960
me know that you have good material. So I appreciate being kept in the
568
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:36.359
loop with a lot of these guests
that have been on here in the past
569
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:38.160
telling me like, yeah, I
got something else coming out. You want
570
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.079
to hear about it, you want
to talk about it, And I'm always
571
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:43.680
up for it. Not gonna get
into it too much. But there's not
572
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:45.839
too many people that have been on
here that I'm like, nah, I'm
573
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.279
good. It's maybe be like one
one dude. I'm not gonna say his
574
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.759
name. It's all good, whatever. But yeah, he talked about a
575
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.440
lot of good stuff in there,
and he had brought up the Bud Billickin
576
00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.839
Parade, and he had heard Houdini's
on Mojo growing up in Chicago, and
577
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.400
I would see the commercials. I
think it was on Channel nine WGN for
578
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:09.679
the Bud Billican Parade. I've never
been to it, you know, I've
579
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:13.599
never been to I don't think I've
ever really been to many parades in my
580
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.840
life, to be honest. But
whenever I saw that the Bud Billikan Parade
581
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:21.920
was coming on, it always made
me a little bit disappointed because I knew
582
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.559
school was coming. Nothing to do
with the parade. It just it was
583
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:29.760
like the kickoff of school year,
like, oh, no, schools starting,
584
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:31.719
the summer's almost over. Like I
would always get like, uh,
585
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:37.280
maybe they'll go on strike and it'll
get a few extra days off, which
586
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.679
happened a couple times. I remember
in eighty seven. Oh it was great
587
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.800
because you didn't know when you're going
back to school, because like you'd be
588
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.239
out playing and then you go home
and your mom's like, yeah, uh,
589
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.519
you're going to school tomorrow. I'm
like, oh, damn. Just
590
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.960
we don't get like a like a
week lead into it. It just starts
591
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.159
right away, damn it. Yeh
eighty seven, I remember we were out
592
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.639
of school for it felt like three
or four weeks. It probably was like
593
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:06.159
ten days. But that strike lasted
a while and that summer was extended.
594
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.440
Man, that was great. So
yeah, Bud Billikin parade. Awesome parade.
595
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:13.639
I love what they do. But
unfortunately for me, it always meant
596
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:19.920
that summer was over and school was
starting. Yay. So let's play Another
597
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.360

00:37:54.920 --> 00:38:09.800

I'm just just just remember the mess to
630
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:23.840
me. I'm just def you just
invincible, remember the event? Ne Yo,
631
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.760
what up? It's your boy Big
Crown Music. You're not listening to
632
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:31.920
Infinite Band of podcast. It's time
for you to leave assholds. That is
633
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.480
Kirk osa Vedo told me it's time
to go, and that is exactly what
634
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.400
I'm going to do. But before
I get out of here, a couple
635
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.280
of quick things. Just wanted to
bring up that the finale for The Ones
636
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:44.760
Who Lived The Walking Dead show featuring
Rick and Maschone just ended. I'm not
637
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.039
gonna give a review about it or
anything, so I don't want to spoil
638
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:49.920
anything, but definitely go check it
out. Is it the best thing they've
639
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:52.599
ever done? No? Is it
better than anything you've done in the last
640
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.320
few years? Yes, so the
bar is really low for that show.
641
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.280
But at least this show kind of
got me back into it again, and
642
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.880
it just the show. You can't
take the two best players off of a
643
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:05.280
show and expect it to still be
good, you know. It's kind of
644
00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:07.639
like watching the Bulls after they took
you know, Jordan Pippin off you know,
645
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:13.639
The Walking Dead became the Dicky Simpkins
and Randy Brown Show, so it
646
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.159
didn't really work for me, so
I still watched it because I'm a completist,
647
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.679
I guess. But it was good
to see Rick and Michon back on
648
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:22.280
my TV again. So definitely go
check it out you have not seen it.
649
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:27.519
Also want to let you guys know
WrestleMania forty is this weekend. You
650
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:30.000
know, for the last couple of
years, wrestling has kind of taken a
651
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.039
back seat for me. I haven't
really watched it as intently as I used
652
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:35.800
to. It's on the TV,
but it's kind of like background noise these
653
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:37.920
days, but it start they're dealing
with the Rock coming back has definitely got
654
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.599
my interest, so when he's on
my TV, I pay attention. So
655
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:44.760
definitely looking forward to see and if
he has anything in the tank, because
656
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:46.480
he's gonna be wrestling, so it's
gonna be fun to see. Definitely,
657
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:51.880
element wrestling fans out there, you'll
be watching WrestleMania forty this coming weekend.
658
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.519
And I also wanted to shout out
davit Tell, one of my favorite comedians.
659
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.960
He has a new stand up special
on Netflix called Hot Cross buns.
660
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:00.679
Go check that out. I've seen
him live a couple of times. He's
661
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:05.360
easily one of my favorite comedians I've
ever seen live and of all time,
662
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:09.000
So go check that out. It's
hilarious. My man is just doing his
663
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:14.400
thing with a recorder, which I
never thought could be funny and last,
664
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.360
but definitely not least. You know, before I started recording the show here,
665
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:21.719
one of my favorite comedic actors,
Joe Flaherty, passed away, and
666
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:27.000
I grew up a big fan of
SCTV, which essentially was like the Canadian
667
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.639
version of Saturday Night Live. And
I don't mean this as a hot take,
668
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.000
but personally, for me, I
always like SETV more than Saturday Night
669
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.159
Live. I know SARENT Live is
still going, the roster of stars is
670
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:43.679
almost endless, but SETV that core
group was just to me. You know,
671
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:50.079
legendary John Candy and Katain O'Hara,
Eugene Levy, Martin Schwortz, Rick
672
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:52.360
Moranis. I mean, so many
great actors and actresses from that show.
673
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:57.039
I went on to do great things
as well. And Joe Flaherty freaksing geeks
674
00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.079
is probably what a lot of people
know him for, but he had a
675
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:00.360
pardon back to the few. Sure, he had a part in like Happy
676
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:07.440
Gilmore, He is small roles that
definitely were very memorable and on SETV he
677
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:09.440
was one of the you know,
standouts of course, and one of my
678
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:13.920
favorite characters he played was Count Floyd, which is kind of like a Svengooli
679
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.079
kind of show. They would do
as a skit, I think it's called
680
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:21.199
monster Chiller Horror Theater and he'd come
out and introduce like a really bad movie
681
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:22.719
that's supposed to be scary, and
he'd kind of talking up, this is
682
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:28.320
so scady, monster Chilla holda theater
and he'd come out and how he like
683
00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:30.480
you would do like a wolf howl
as a vampire come out the casket.
684
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.199
And John Candy played Doctor Tongue who
was in a lot of these quote unquote
685
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.320
bad movies, and Eugene love You
played Bruno was kind of like the uh,
686
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:45.800
you know, the hunchback Igor igor
depending on how you want to pronounce
687
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.960
it, you know, young Frankenstein
reference there. So they were hilarious.
688
00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.840
They used to do these bits where
they had It was during the craze of
689
00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:55.119
like three D, so they would
have these bits on there where they'd say
690
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.599
it's a three D movie and John
Candy's character would be holding something it is,
691
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.119
like kind of pushing it towards the
video screen towards the camera to make
692
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:05.239
it look like it's three D,
like it's coming out at you, and
693
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:07.280
to be so scady. So yeah, I'm a big fan of Joe Flaherty.
694
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.679
Definitely sad to see he passed.
And I grew up on SCTV.
695
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.320
I used to buy those old Kodak
VHS tapes and I remember Nick and Knight
696
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.159
would air them back in the late
eighties and I had that VCR running to
697
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:22.280
record those all the time. And
I couldn't even tell you how many tapes
698
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:28.679
I probably have down in the storage
full of SCTV episodes on those VHS tapes.
699
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:31.400
So Joe Flaherty was great. You
know, The Sammy Maudlin Show is
700
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:35.639
another character played a lot. He
played a lot of like like the salesman
701
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:37.119
guy or something I never did,
like a commercial or something. He'd be
702
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.239
like that. But he was very
good at what he did, and I
703
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:44.719
think he didn't get enough credit while
he was here, So definitely want to
704
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.840
give him his props. But if
you've never seen Joe Flaherty's work on SETV.
705
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:52.679
Just type in count Floyd. He's
hilarious in that it's just some of
706
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.639
the funniest bits. I've been watching
a bunch of them since I saw that
707
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.360
he passed, So rest in piece
of Joe Flaherty. This is the Infinite
