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?
