In the latest issue of The Fader. There's some interesting things here. Among them:

Prince Paul talking about how they had sampled the Under Pressure bassline during the 3 Feet High... sessions, well before Ice Ice Baby came out, but ended up scrapping the idea.

Del talking about how Ice Cube wrote Pissin On Your Steps, and how he'd helped Cube write Who's The Mack and Gangsta's Fairytale?

DMC talking about how Slow And Low was supposed to be on King Of Rock, and how Rick Rubin kind of persuaded them to let the Beasties have it, which sort of negates the way Yauch tells it in the Anthology liner notes.

Young Guru talking about how the beat that later became Alicia Keys' You Don't Know My Name was first presented to Jay-Z by Kanye during the Blueprint sessions.

They'll be adding some more untold stories to their website in the next little while, supposedly. (www.thefader.com)

Yeah, they're first cousins.

And Sir Jinx, who did a lot of production for Cube's best albums is Dre's cousin.

I always like reading little stories like that, so thanks for the linkage and stuff, dude. I've never heard of that magazine either, so I might have to scope it out somtime.

Mainly I've been reading URB and Scratch, but this looks like it has potential, so I'll check it.
