Arabian Prince on N.W.A. and the birth of gangster rap | Red Bull Music Academy

The Arabian Prince has been making robots shake their shit since the early ’80s, producing his own tracks and playing live shows with The Egyptian Lover, World Class Wreckin’ Cru and the LA Dream Team. It was his early electro rap experiments which got him some serious attention and respect from his LA contemporaries, and soon his innovation in the studio and dedication to the party led to him working with N.W.A. alongside Dr Dre.
In this session at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy, Brother Arab joins the dots between LA, Detroit and Miami, and breaks down the fundamentals of the LA scene in the early '80s, how to work with a broken 808 and how faster music in the dance makes you more… paper?

Arabian Prince comes accross as a really great guy. Big love and respect to one of the OG Electrofunk / Rap masters.

[@JEANBRUCEnocturbulous]

Arabian Prince telling historical memories and the host barelly smiling and react anyway thx for the huge opportunity to hear those story.

[@soloist9495]

Who cares
It not about the interview guy
Its about the guest

[@JEANBRUCEnocturbulous]

@@soloist9495 Yes sure, but as an interviewer myself, I believe that you owe a certain respect and correct deaminour to your guest and the audience.

[@joemontez8103]

Arabian Prince is so cool and humble..great interview

[@jerodkristina7633]

Same thing Sir Mix-A-Lot said 45:12

[@IdiotForgetlSun-qh8em]

Long time 05

[@brotherfugue]

REALLY? That's a historical recording circa 1983 and you question the sobriety of the ENGINEER! How about recusing yourself from hosting guests you obviously have no respect for?

[@kinkhwab1477]

He seemed very disrespectful in both body language and comments on the history of West Coast electro rap. Maybe a bit of European snobbery on the aspect of money making and the binary dynamics (male female) and atmosphere of the day.

[@brotherfugue]

Doesn't know Bobby Jimmy and the Critters??!!

[@jkdortch2308]

RUSS PARR RADIO PERSONALITY

[@Jon-PaulRaymond]

The worlds most uninteresting, a hole of a host. Great producer though, and an amazing story, if you can find a person possessing questions worthy of being asked.

[@mjg239]

The only good thing about this interviewer is that he doesn't take over the interview and let's Arabian speak for the most part.

[@tropicalbrokkoli]

It's German attitude

[@babadook3523]

nice guy
