Ice thought about this before, crazy to hear him explain it out like that.

i recorded two tracks with Pete at green street !!! great times

Without a doubt, a true hip hop legend: MF DOOM. Also, Ramellzee and Kool Keith who I believe to be MF Doom’s spiritual kinfolk. Authentic metropolitan New York flavor.

Wish it was still on Spotify. I got the cd tho.

Cage is one of the greatest ever. Yall need to talk to him one day. His story is insane. From childhood to signing to dropped to comeback/em beef to def jux. Subroc camu tao tame one doom. Cage worked with the best.

I like them both... But separate... Zach doesn't fit their sound

Tribe Unique and Abstract Rudes paint was a spiritual awakening for me.

Was getting back into RTJ for the first time in years and quit my job the same day. Shit was stressing me out! My boss didn’t want the best for me, they delayed paychecks, and it was a temp job so who cares? It’s not just RTJ making music to give you the power to stand against abuse. I can think of Denzel curry, jpegmafia, baby keem, all these artists have aggressive shit that puts me in this mind frame. but it is crazy how El is saying exactly what happened a few days ago.

I used to smoke a lot of weed I still do but I used to

Great knowledge! Thank you for this. I'm a huge L.O.N.S. fan and I learned so much from this interview.

Cipher OVER 😅😅

"Elohim ...With The Rhyme Scheme...Lyrics Hit The Mic Reminds Me Of Light Beams" - Cannibal Ox "Stress Rap" off "Cold Vein" Best underground hip hop album in early 2000's... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Iam a french canadian, and I usualy dont understand half the lyrics of El-P or Vast Air or Aesop Rock or Camu Tao ... but I dont care, its music to my ears anyway.

this podcast is fire. since common dropped the album with Pete rock, it made me look into Pete rocks catalog with cl smooth and I became the biggest fan and was trying to figure out what happened with them so I was happy y'all talked about that. and I look forward to watching the rest of the episodes to learn some hip hop history

Now make the Zach solo rap album with you on production that we should have had 20 years ago.

Pixies

All day all day!

Can someone tell El-p that price Edward was pretending he and Megan were "run the crown jewels" in a psyop and it was very distasteful.

Great combo

Damn dude sounds just like scott storch.

Love this man

💯

Dope story!

22:04 glad to hear Dante is recovering and sobering

3:13 Howard Hewitt caught a stray 😂

One of my all time favorite albums along with you, and Ferreira. So insane to see coverage on my favorite Rappers by my favorite Rappers--so grateful for that. Just throwing it out into the aether, but no one ever talks about Psyche O and how The Standard probably defined the vibes of many folks raised in the mid 00s adult swim curation of aesthetics. Always thought those guys were so creative and underrated, which was confusing to me. But thanks so much for this; I love learning abt this record; so much meaning in there. ~ Peace and be well Artisan ~

15:10 Puber Wrote the Creator for Pete Rock

'ELP

It was payday at Ukrainian hall which is in east village

Dang I’m watching this and the discussion on Puba and so far in full agreement. It’s funny to hear he was allergic to hooks and the second brand nu album (without puba) to me is horrible and opens with hooks… I’m wondering if you’re going to discuss the making of one for all. Edit - exactly the sense of MELODY WAS MISSING …which for me and other cats in the hood uptown was big.

Peace peace, so yesterday I decided to listen to brand Nubians and found myself pondering who was the best mc question I saw a week prior of Brand Nu. 51 turning 52 this year and I worked at east west for a brief period and then walked away from the music industry in the early 90’s. Dante, sd50’s and were pretty much my staple motivation. Anyway I said I gotta find out why brand Nu broke up I know it was issues between lord and Sadat and Pu but was never clear. And looked it up and found this podcast and saw wow a whole series for Dante interviews fucking amazing and started listening. It’s refreshing to hear the life I lived from the voice and mind of one of the cats I studied from afar. Thank you for this podcast. Now it seems I don’t have to do what is being done…blessings to you king
