Video Killed The Radio Star?
Killa Sha – The Unkut Interview
Photo courtesy Alexander Richter Killa Sha created the best rap album of 2007, but thanks to limited distribution and an absence of gimmicks, not enough people experienced his addictive GOD Walks on Water the first time around. With a follow-up titled The Shepard due in the near future, as well as a complete album with…
The Story Behind Large Professor’s The LP
You might recall this from my interview with the artist once known as Paul Juice recently: Robbie: Is ‘Queens Lounge’ from The LP ever going to see a proper release? Large Professor: I’ll go back through the archives and try to dig that up and dust that off and get it right, man. I wanna…
Peter Rosenberg – The Unkut Interview
Here’s the first part of a new series talking to non-rapper dudes who still have a story to tell. After cutting his teeth as a radio personality and DJ in Washington, DC for years, Peter Rosenberg has spent the past two years in New York City, and stays busy with three separate radio shows, including…
Are Live Cover Versions Just Filler?
Ghostface live, huh? Yeah, that shit was quality. It featured everything you’d hope for from a Starks’ set – an overpowering smell of weed surrounding the stage, winning live renditions of ‘Nutmeg’, ‘Run’ and ‘Mighty Healthy’, Ghost diddy-bopping around like an excited kid who just ate a bag of candy and….a bunch of cover versions?…
Doo Wop – The Unkut Interview Pt. 1: ’95 Live
The Uptown Bounce Master (aka Doo Wop) is a true mixtape pioneer. He took the idea of intro’s to the next stage by assembling an all-star cast for his two part ’95 Live series. He’s also nicer on the mic than most full-time MC’s. He broke-down the history of his classic tape features with me…
Video: Nas Vs. Biggie – The Battle That Never Happened
Uptown tape king DJ Doo Wop threw me this exclusive blend video he made, which answers the question – What if Nas and Biggie had gone at each other on the same stage, verse for verse? Here’s how it might have gone down… [poll id=”46″]
Unkut Vs. Combat Jack: M.O.P = Rap’s Greatest Duo
“M.O.P. are rap’s greatest duo….yeah I said it.” So I threw this out there the other day. “Huh? This douchebag can’t be serious, can he?” Damn skippy, sonny. Yeah, Run and them are bigger than rap now and let’s be honest, they’re Hip-Hop’s Greatest Trio. Outkast? Meh, they don’t even appear on my radar. Bill…
Video: Run-DMC interview in the UK, 1997
Typically grouchy Rev. Run, a silent Darryl Mac and the always articulate Jam-Master Jay try their best to tolerate the moronic questions and blatant abuse of the term “keep it real” from the bubble-head hosts of The Big Breakfast. Hopefully the Son of Kurtis Blow got some bacon or at least a hummer after the…
Lord Finesse Live In Tokyo + Vintage Press Kit
Sure, I’m a Finesse fan. He’s the only rapper I ever asked to sign anything, so when I had a chance to get my hands on the original press kit for his seminal Return of the Funkyman, best believe I went in.
Dante Ross – The Unkut Interview Part 3: The SD-50’s
The other aspect of Dante Ross’ career that’s noteworthy to rap fiends are the classic tracks he produced with John Gamble under the Stimulated Dummies banner. Providing beats for acts such as 3rd Bass, Hard 2 Obtain, Shazzy, Del, Grand Puba, KMD, Casual and Kurious Jorge to name a few, producing provided yet another outlet…
Asher Roth’s Guide To Frat Rap
According to Rolling Stone, this Asher kid is “a spacey stoner who practices yoga and enjoys musing on politics”. The first thing that springs to mind is “hippy douchebag”, right? Sure, but he’s not the first example of Frat Rap. Come to think of it, he was never actually in a fraternity, but since Steve…
