Thanks for posting! Seems pretty right on to me.

If you don't want to open that in your browser, download http://www.civisual.com/cc/movies/criminal_02.mov. What you get is ten minutes of talking heads (and a few scratching DJs) talking about sampling (in Hip-Hop). Somehow they have been unable to speak to (hardly any) black artists (who you, know, came up with the idea) and instead you get every "alternative" (white) Hip-Hopper you can think of. I'm not saying the clip isn't worthy, but that struck me as very odd. You get to see Shock G without the Groucho nose/glasses, btw.

He was always without the glasses...Humpty was a seperate character....

JoB, I wouldn't say "hardly". They often get to say the most, compared to the others... but yeah, they're not interviewing Sylvia Robinson, Doug E Fresh, anyone Shocklee, or anybody like that, certainly.

they aren't talking about hip hop only, though. For example, M.C. Schmidt isn't an emcee.

also, why does Aesop Rock rap in such a nasal, whiny voice when his speaking voice is actually pretty deep?

i saw drew too! (is drew ever going to get an ILM thread to answer questions and further put off his thesis?)

two weeks pass...

I highly recommend this book by Kembrew McLeod, one of the producers of Copyright Criminals...

http://kembrew.com/books/

I'm about 50 pages in and give it a big thumbs up.

six years pass...

only three chapters in, but already thinking kembrew's new book is now the first-stop. can hardly wait to get to the chapter where he promises to start offering potential legal amendments, holding out for a hero

here's the chapter on 80's hip hop
