SuperBacon Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 It still feels mad, and I hope that a whole new generation learn and love them like we all do. Prince Paul has said that some of the samples have been replayed or tweaked to get through, but that you won't be able to notice at all. I had a little cry the other day listening to Rock Co Cane Flow, when Pos says "We De La to the death or at least until we break up" Still absolutely gutted. Long live De La Soul.

SuperBacon Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 This was live streamed Thursday night, and has been whacked up on YouTube but will probably be pulled, so try and watch it as quick as you can. First 2 and a half hours are mostly deejays (Stretch, Clark Kent, Tony Touch) with some live performances (I've only scanned through to be fair) and the actual 'live' portion starts at around 2:32ish in, and features Latifah, Common, De La and is well worth watching, if a bit chaotic. And this from the brilliant Dan Charnas (buy his book Dilla Time, its great) is a superb read. https://slate.com/culture/2023/03/de-la-soul-streaming-legalize-sampling-rap.html Also, I'm pleased to say that the latest Oddisee album, To What End, is fantastic. Such a consistently great artist, and I'm definitely going to try and get to his next live dates over here in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted March 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 Looks like the package tour featuring Ice Cube, Cypress Hill & The Game is adding UK dates for the back end of the year. Only one I've seen so far is Manchester Arena on Dec 7th. Not arsed about The Game at all but this could likely be the last chance to see Cube over here so will absolutely be going.

wordsfromlee Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'm not sure how many cassette collectors there are on here (I'm presuming it's about 0) but Ive started a little tape label releasing bootlegs, soundtracks and rarities. My first release came out today and is WUGAZI - 13 Chambers. A Wu Tang Clan x Fugazi mashup mixtape from 2011. And I'm pretty sure my next one is going to be SADEVILLAIN. The Sade x MF DOOM mixtape. This is really just an excuse for me to design album covers I think. I've got a bunch more cool ideas in the pipeline. Not just hip hop but some radio sessions, TV, movie and video game soundtracks and full live concerts. Don't be a rat. http://everybody-hertz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Those look amazing mate, I know @Merzbow loves a cassette tape. Ive never even heard about that Wugazi thing, so that's very cool. Do you have a twitter for it, as I'd like to send these to a few people I know. Edit: Just "copped" one. You now have my address, be nice Edited April 1, 2023 by SuperBacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Got my tape @wordsfromlee very cool! Nova suitably impressed as well. Was slightly upset it wasn't addressed to SuperBacon, but never mind Also, billy woods has a fantastic new track out so had to share. Aesop Rock is on the new album which is incredibly exciting. billy and Kenny Segal are playing London in June and I'm well tempted by that to be honest.

Keith Houchen Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I love that Wugazi project, brilliantly put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Excellent news! Im glad it got there safe. Im upping my packaging game now. I got hold of some frosted clear tapes so I’m doing a mega limited run of 10 Childish Gambino - Culdesac tapes. I might hold off on the SADEVILLAIN release and go for something more alternative next. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I've listened to Maps the new one from billy woods & Kenny Segal twice already this morning and it is utterly stunning. I feel like the track featuring Aesop Rock was made just for me, but actually Danny Brown steals the show of the guest features. Woods is the best rapper around, and every album surpasses the last.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted May 31, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 31, 2023 This is the same promoter as the Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique & RA tour. Hoping for a Manchester date as Onyx are reportedly still awesome live & I'm yet to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
