EPMD LIVE @ Queensbridge Park
Just had the pleasure of seeing EPMD rock LIVE @ Queensbridge Park in Queens, NYC. Home to legendary rappers & producers such as Nas, Mobb Deep, & Marley Marl. It was incredible being in the exact spot that bred these artists whom changed the culture & world as we know it. We got a little lost getting to Queensbridge, but after hearing so many Nas & Mobb Deep songs we saw the street signs (Vernon Blvd), and the Queensbridge projects so we knew we were in the right place. EPMD are legends! The Green Eyed Bandit aka Eric Sermon has influenced producers around the world with his signature funky basslines dripping over thick drums, and is responsible for the production of some of the classic, Golden era hip hop (Redman, Def Squad, etc). Marley Marl, DJ Scratch, & Capone from CNN (Capone n Noriega) made a guest appearance also.
We got there a bit late, so I only was able to video tape a small portion of the end set. Eric Sermon & Capone themselves also shared some words of wisdom with Blunt Guts. Check out the video below.

Reason 5 & Record 1.5 Update!!
Just received an email from Propellerhead. The official dates for Reason 5 & Record 1.5 are finally here! AUGUST 25th these two jawns are dropping, so be on the look out! For Reason & Record owners, you can update your software to these new versions. I'll be stuck in the house until December having fun with these. In the meantime, check out the newest drum addition to Reason 5: Kong Drum Designer. You have COMPLETE control, choosing from synth drums (for those low end 808 booms) and physical drums (you can even control the tone of your drum sticks...holy shit). Also the new NN-Nano sampler lets your layer multiple samples and control the velocity of each one while switching between them.
Deeeeeeeeeyum.

The Roots LIVE @ Prospect Park, Brooklyn New York
On Sunday June 11th, I had the privilege to see The Legendary Roots crew SHUT IT DOWN at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The show started at 7:30 with Sahr Ngaujah (lead actor/singer of the Broadway show Fela!), and when we showed up at 8 at the entrance the police told everyone it was over capacity, it was too many people and they wouldn't let us in. Now I've been a huge fan of the Roots ever since I was living in New Jersey right across the bridge from Illadelph. These cats are living legends!! Over capacity?! Fuck that. We hopped the fence (ended up cutting my wrist and bleeding a little bit) and made our way to the middle of the crowd. This has to be the best performance I have ever seen, their stage presence, breath control, and energy is amazing. Black Thought is a lyrical machine when he spits, just when you think he's about to run out of breath he fires more ammunition to the crowd. Add that to the clarity of his vocals and you can't help but make the screwface in awe. Their tuba player, cleverly named Tuba Gooding Jr. was running on stage from left to right, jumping off speakers, and dancing while playing the tuba. Anyone who plays an instrument can tell you that you need to have good lungs and be in shape for that (consider the weight of a tuba...now consider running and jumping with it while playing.) The genius that is ?uestlove was mind blowing and inspiring to finally see live, production wise he's one of my biggest influences. Just from listening to The Roots and reading his interviews I've gained knowledge on dynamics, mic techniques, and mixing tricks. I swear I broke my neck 5 times during the show. Anyway...I could go on for hours, but I video taped a couple of songs so check them out below. Excuse some of the shakiness and the camera going out of focus at some points, I was grooving and so were the people around me. Can you blame me?
Oh yea, the cat in the red fitted is Kweli! BK MC!
Special appearance from hip hop pioneers Nice & Smooth. FRESH!

R.I.P. RAMMELLZEE!!!!!
As I'm engineering a session in the radio station, someone runs in and yells, "RAMMELLZEE IS DEAD!" Now to a lot of the world people may be asking, "what the fuck is that?" But in NYC and to the hip hop world this man is a legend / myth / intelligent alien being. Peep Rammellzee in the film "Wild Style" rocking the mic with a sawed off shotgun:
He has stated that his name is derived from RAM plus M for Magnitude, Sigma (Σ) the first summation operator, first L - longitude, second L - latitude, Z - z-bar, Σ, Σ - summation.
A friend of Jean-Michele Basquiat, Rammellzee made his most memorable (ten minute) 1983 song titled, "Beat Bop", which is stated to be hip hop's first experimental rap record (Basquiat was on the beat by the way). Rammellzee performed in self-designed masks and costumes of different characters which represented the "mathematical equation" that is Rammellzee. On the basis of his Gothic Futurism approach, he described his artistic work as the logical extension into a new phase which he calls Ikonoklast Panzerism. Go to his website Gothic Futurism and look at some of his formulas. It's indecipherable to everyone but himself.He created a style and sub-genre that paved the way for artists such as Kool Keith, MF Doom, the Def Jux label, etc.
So pour some out and light one up for one of the founding fathers and pioneers.
How Rammellzee described his live performances - "You hit the bank, you rob the money, and you leave. No encores." Sound familiar?
