An ill 2005
I just want to thank the utility companies and financial institutions without whose services 2005 would not have been half the year it was. London Energy, Thames Water, Visa and NatWest: I love you all. Let's keep catching wreck in the next. Peace also to Hackney Council, no longer "failing"! I'll miss throwing you that £500 a year. Represent!

Things Shakespeare couldn't think of
Keith, aka the number one curser came through with style last night wearing a Glasgow Celtic top and demonstrating to the crowd the improving effects of angel dust and mental illness on rapping originality.

Ray
My woman and I were fortunate enough to view this truth-talking film over the weekend. Taylor Hackford! Son did not flinch from the realities of the drug experience, and made it plain through some Nine Inch Nails-type visual metaphor and plainspoken dialogues that heroin would take Jamie Foxx away from the one thing he loved more than his family and bitches: Music! At the end, the disabling hallucinations leave him, and he can see again! His mother is always with him. Seriously though, Georgia on My Mind is fucking banging.
I feel so good.
Adam: Tell me about Lost Masters 2.
Kool Keith: I think Lost Masters 2 is a great distinctive record. I went into percussion. As one of the top producers, you have to change. So, what I did was put a lot of different percussion and drums and bongo sounds in their. A lot of congas and stuff. You really don't need a snare and a kick all the time necessarily to get a rhythm. It was all about the acoustics and finger snaps. Musically, things are open. You got tribal music, African music, and all types of different genres of music. And I expanded rap music another ten years, because rap was just stuck with a lot of stagnated music. So, what I did was a lot of futuristic sounds around acoustics. Lyrically, it's my shock value. My emotions and what I go through. So, I write the truth of what I feel. You hear people like, in certain songs I can't just dazzle lyrics, rappin' 2000 miles an hour, flippin' the skill, flippin' the words. I'm not doing all that. I am just writing these percussions to get my point across. I feel so good. ‘Matthew' was so wild with kicks and snares, but this is brand new acoustics and I am saying what I like to say on these records. It's good for me as the number one curser. It was a setup. When the ‘Personal Album' was out, I fooled everybody. Even in the industry, everybody thought I was in love and was all cuddly. What I did was sidetrack everybody. All the producers around the world and all the people listening, went for it. They ate my poison like a rat. I like when they ate my poison. So, when they ate my poison, I came out bam with ‘Lost Masters 2'. Just cursing and beats with so much tension. It's a notch above what everybody else was doing. I loved it all. I broke laws. I didn't use a snare. I didn't use a kick. I just programmed bongos and turned into a mad African drummer on that album.

Los Corrections
Artifacts were from the Bricks (thanks Dun-dog). I always think Philly because Tame One's moms lives/lived in Philly and he stayed there and painted the walls a lot in his teens. I think that fact comes from an interview in the late, great STRESS Magazine (New York's Relative Force).
Re. The Roots. One of the great songs is on the blue record: Silent Treatment -- all down to Cassandra Wilson on the chorus:
Girl you know that you need
to stop givin' me the silent.. treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me?
I wanna love you constantly, but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently

"William"
'Ridenhour is not the only member of Public Enemy to develop a TV career in recent years. He is presumably used to the antic behaviour of his long-term-sidekick William "Flavor Flav" Drayton - when they met, at a student radio station in 1984, Drayton was apparently wearing "four or five" jackets, one on top of the other.'

Philly cheese
Hip-Hop is a broad church but time and again, people have disrespected the door policy by showing up and failing to represent. Whole cities for whole periods, too. Philadelphia spent a good twenty years shucking corn in New York's direction, while next door Newark was holding things down. If you think Philly's being unreasonably dissed here: Tracey Lee, The Roots, Jazzphatnastees, neo-soul in general, The Roots. Everyone up til Freeway. As Max Cavalera put it: Roots, bloody Roots.
The High and Mighty don't count, being ultimately pretty boring aside from the cover of that Air Force 1 record.
Neither do Cru, despite "Better call Cru, they probly in the studio, Phil Collins in the background, Su-su-sudio," such is the toll of wackness of Roots record after Roots record after self-important, pseudo-poetic Roots record.
