Bomb Squad were mad scientist geniuses who influenced everybody who ever did anything artistically interesting during the boom bap era, which was hip hop's most creative and innovative era, imo. These guys are legends
He's not just a musical genius and architect, he's a phenomenal communicator who actually knows how to explain very complex subjects that are multiple layers deep. He's gifted in so many ways. I thank Red Bull for this interview. It is solid gold.
He wasn't the only one that made PE work. You also got Keith Shocklee, Chuck D (Carl Ryder), and Eric Sadler that made up the Bomb Squad. The name the Bomb Squad wasn't there until Fear of, it was about credits. Look up the PE book by Myrie
One of the best producer videos I have watched. So much passion and real interest in what he is talking about. You can tell that he really lives this, it is every part of him.
Bomb Squad may be the most underrated production team not just in rap, but all genres. They actually were inventing a sound that didn’t even exist! I don’t see how rap is even possible without them.
39:30 Ironically this is what I did to my headphone jack when listening tp Fear of a Black Planet. you can hear alot of the layered samples that aren't evident in the main mix.
"Brothers Gonna Work" it Out Was a Prime Example of Things Being off Key. Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" End Guitar, That Bass and Those Bells. And That Track Was One of The Best Tracks on "Fear of a Black Planet."
Thanks Shock. Everything u expressed. explains y I feel so strongly about the frequency you,yall, created. What's crazy is. To this day when I listen to Rebel with out of pause I here something I never heard in the back ground before guest that's do to the e.queing. lol. And I have to listen to it at least 9 times. 😅😅
Theatre Designer Robert Wilson once said something like "If you put a baroque candle and put it on a baroque table, that's one thing. But if you put that baroque candle on a giant rock that's something else. And maybe you can better see the candle on the rock." @13:25
The DJ Johnny Juice Rosado did most of the scratches on Yo and Nations, not Terminator X. Look up the PE book by Myrie, or various references of Inside the Terrordome by Tim Grierson.
I was going to give the host a wack attack, but as English isn't he's first language, I'll give him a pass. It is a shame tho, BC Shock's dropping science here.
Excellent discussion. I disagree about his statement that there is no God or the devil. I've seen too much evidence in my life of both. But that's his personal belief. More power to him.
The evidence is all around us of a higher power but most choose to ignore or try to rationalize away the obvious....if you really believe that an explosion that happened billions of years ago created order , your out of your mind, and the larger question is what KEEPS that order in place.
Does anyone have the ID on this terrible inebriated person interviewing Mr. Shocklee? There really is no pass for his idiocy even though its 6 years later. What a wasted yet still very significant moment in the history of music
Hank is the king and I’m honored to have mastered material he was a part off.
amazing, which ones?
Revolutionary...Not just in rap....In Music Period...From 86' to 92' it was the Bomb Squad

What a great and intelligent guy Hank is. Much love and respect for who he is as a person and intellectual, and the music he's done. Top lecture!
totally agree
Love hank. He is so generous with his knowledge. And pure genius

I could listen to him talk about this for hours, wait I just did!

A Master speaking gives a whole new meaning and colors to the sound.
🔥🔥
Always current to the future with Hank Shocklee. Serious Active Creative and Historian .

Brother dropping gems here

inspirational
2024 in here.
Hank's the man ~
Thank you Hank and Red Bull!
We meaning.. russell meaning.. this guy shouldn't be interviewing people 😂 loved listening to shock lee all the same. I gave him a thumbs up...
Literally just getting into P.E deep enough to see wassup with shocklee and such but this dude don't even know the basic history lmao
@@nupreznz 👍😎 yeah dude. Wth. He showed up, but that was it 😄
I took it as he was asking clarifying questions so the audience would know who Shocklee is talking about. You could be right tho…
That didn't bother me, because I assume he's simply clarifying for those who may not be aware.
master of his trade, true source of information
Like Guru saids, experience is the best teacher
@ 4:30. altec 604-8g. electro voice didnt have any coax monitors.
Without the Bomb Squad, PE never sounded even close to as incendiary since.
Pure 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
One of the best! #BombSquad

im a bit on the younger side but we need a film or documentary on the process of early hip hop production
Excellence
this is like having quincy jones & bruce Swedien at your disposal for a week

Knowledge
King
who is the interviewer ?
What has the Kanye/Bush question got to do with anything?? 🤔
Such a random question to ask when Hanks talking about music production.
no way that's a CR8000 on Spectrum City; wanna hear the track he was thinking of w the Roland
💜
Sago Shocklee
he is detailed .....#LONGESTFLOWONWAX
That interviewer though...😭
Maybe English isn't his first language? This doesn't mean that he isn't trying to do his best.
Q: Can you get a Neve sound on a shoestring budget?
A: Oh.... n000!
500 series: Ahem...
Fuck yes
These mfers was scientists
God body out here
I was going to give the host a wack attack, but as English isn't he's first language, I'll give him a pass.
It is a shame tho, BC Shock's dropping science here.
Thanks For Expressing The Way I Was Feeling. 👍
Yeah well, not everyone have English as their first language.
It's Like Milk 🛸👁️👁️👽
It's too bad people don't smoke in interviews anymore.
Red Bull Academy had some of the worst interviewers
Excellent discussion. I disagree about his statement that there is no God or the devil. I've seen too much evidence in my life of both. But that's his personal belief. More power to him.

You can't prove it or disprove it, from a rational point of view. I stay agnostic when it comes to it
Does anyone have the ID on this terrible inebriated person interviewing Mr. Shocklee? There really is no pass for his idiocy even though its 6 years later. What a wasted yet still very significant moment in the history of music
Not everyone got English as a first language, doesn't mean that he's not trying to do his best.
That interviewer is depressing
Dude, let this legend speak. I don't like the interviwer's attitude! If ihe doesn't say someone's full name let people do their research!
this interviewer is so embarrassing
