should i go see kurtis blow + epmd at african arts fest tomorrow, y/y

revive

i couldn't make it to that show :(

woah i had no idea EST was still doing stuff.

also that dude from the UMCs that did all those beats for g-unit

i'm glad you bumped this, this has been driving me nuts all day...have yall seen the video to "g-slide" by lil' mama?

cuz there's this dude that stands around a lot in the video and says some lines here and there, looks like an older 80s cat but i can't place the voice or his face...

what dude from the umc's!

hass g, i guess it was just 50, but maybe he did more after magic stick

from interview w/kool kim w.some radio station:

A quick word on Haas G, do you talk often these days?

Yeah, ever since I moved back to NY, I see him much more often. We have since built on working on some other things that will work for us.

He produced 50 Cent’s ‘Magic Stick’, did you congratulate him with the millions? And does he have a big house in California now?

Naah! (laughs) But he is doing aiight, he’s a working producer, which is what that brother really wanted for himself. And I am happy for that. But he has a long journey to go before he achieve the greatness inside of him. I am looking forward to him reaching the next level of his growth as a producer and a man…he is my bro… and I love him.

lil kim /= g-unit

sorry i just half-remembered that until i looked it up and got it mixed cuz 50 was on it.

the est shit is still the craziest to me... that song was huge

according to allmusic haas g (as hassan) did stuff for supreme clientele and ELE by busta, "guess who's back" by 50, and a song off a deck album and also street life. pretty busy dude i guess.

yeah that is crazy i had no idea EST was still doing anything. makes sense though, producing is probably where all the money is these days anyway.

do you know that lil' mama video?

The acknickulous one.

ok wtf j-rock who did streetwize is producing for trina now

should i go see chubb rock at some seafood restaurant tomorrow?

if you don't mean that as a rhetorical question I hardly know what to say to you other than "shrimp buffet"

this seems like as good a time as any to post cookin' with coolio

not a rapper but was looking at the liner notes for curtis (dont ask) and noticed "fire" was produced by rob lewis who did both of nine's albums including "whatcha want"

i'm surprised this thread is not 10000X more depressing. aw, i miss kwame.

supposedly schooly d was living in the neighborhood that i was living in for most of last year...but, isn't he mad rich now from at least doing the theme to that cartoon network show? in which case, i dunno why he'd be living there

also, i guess i conflated the phrase "running shit" with "turning to shit"

Wouldn't the cartoon network show have paid him once and own the rights to the song since it was work for hire?

yeah, but royalties are not to be sneezed at, etc...i'm thinking, anyhow...

dell & mh break it down

nah, i dunno what i'm talking about...in all honesty i just posted here as an excuse to say that i heart the first schooly d record. psk

looks like 'fire' aint the half. wonder what the deal was with the nine stuff, guess they were close dudes and he wasn't interested in making beats for other people? not like he wouldntve been in demand.

"whatcha want" by nine is one of my favorite songs ever made on the entire history of this planet

lol fall out boy

i dont even know what dudes been doing since like 96 is that just a recent list and its all billboard pop credits in between time??

yeah looks like it, unless he got another name

btw former spizzazzz big dog joel/e-crunk/whatever tried to tell me once "whatcha want" was produced by some uk "indie rock dude on the low" lol

probly 100000 indie rock dudes called rob lewis out there, one of em gotta be interesting!

sit thru this til the end and be rewarded with rawkus 8th stringer el-fudge of 'what if' fame secretly tryna make ends meet
