Mario was excited that Beck was gonna record at the studio and also assumed that they were booking him to produce. The other guy kind of let Mario run the show (since it was HIS studio) and then eventually they found a rhythm and sort of co-produced the session together.

Other random musings on this thread: Edan is indeed an amazing MC/Producer/DJ. His experimental instrumental record (Echo Party) is a great party soundtrack. His second full length ,Beauty & The Beat, is a sample masterpiece. And the dude can rap.

I loved Das Racist. I really thought that they might be this generations Beastie Boys. Adrock made a beat and gave it to the group. But they didn't like it. Kool A.D. used it on one of his solo albums. It's kind of just an alright song.

can't agree enough about Edan. it's all good.

i love Das Racist and Heems quite a bit too. it's a shame Kool A.D. turned out to be a shit person.

i've been listening to a lot of the Def Jux catalog quite a bit the past couple of years. there's a lot of quality experimental stuff in there to mine as well. great hip hop.

Not Beasties related but since we have been talking about Beck a fair bit, does anyone know if or when the reissue for Midnight Vultures on wax is going to come out?

He has re-released almost all of his other albums on vinyl except for that one. I read that he himself isn't a huge fan of the album and the critics generally panned it, but I happen to be a huge fan of it.

Nope, but CJ has been doing that Dan Brown style for years, even if you pry, that is probably the most info were going to get for now.

Sounds really good though.

Thanks for the Edan recommendation, starting with Beaty and the Beat and really enjoying it.

As far as stuff that I would recommend, definitely Tribe, De La, Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief, The Avalanches, Beck (mostly 90's Beck through Modern Guilt at least), The Clash, Gorillaz, El-P, Funkadelic, Janelle Monae, MF Doom stuff like Madvillain, King Krule, Mos Def, Outkast, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Rancid (if you like the punk stuff), Thundercat, and the Voidz.

If youre seeking a companion to Pauls Boutique, the following records are in league in terms of production technique:

three feet high - de la
it takes a nation - public enemy
peoples instinctive travels - tribe

i don't mention Nation because every single person in the world including my mom should automatically add the first 3 1/2 PE records to their mandatory listen-to-before-you-die list. especially Nation...that's about as much of a given/guarantee than you could have.

has Czarface been mentioned? if you like grimy east coast beats and rapping you should def check out Czar. they just released Czarface meets Ghostface and it's awesome, but all their records are great.



thank you adam adam & mike

I used to spot Edan frequently in my neck of the woods (VA/MD/DC). Back in the late 90s he was at most hip hop jams with his Cub Scout hat and Technics record bag slinging his records. I used to seem him in DC quite a bit too. I always felt like he was the home-town guy who made it to the big leagues. He may still blow up but I always felt like he never got the props he deserved.

It’s not hate, it’s just nothing special. A few of the beats are pretty nice.

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but BadBadNotGood a local band from here in Toronto the graduated from the Humber Music jazz program is worth checking out.

You can even see them jamming with Mike D on the echo chamber here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ3QAMtQOrQ

Ha! That's weird. He was at Berklee College of Music around the time I was going to Mass Art (or maybe just after). I knew a bunch of people who either collab'd with him, or who would just see him around at all the Boston hip hop stuff. I even had one friend who was a waiter and a hip hop fan, who always saw Edan at his restaurant/book store and would talk to him about music, and stuff.

So for me, he's my "home-town guy who made it to the big leagues." even though I didn't know about him until right before he left for Brooklyn.

Hurra has some nice beats. His 3rd album Don't Sleep was something I played now and again. The only song I really remember is Kickin' Wicked Rhymes, with Ad-Rock and Black Thought. It's a great beat, and Adrock destroys it, as does Black Thought. Great hook too. I haven't actually heard the song in over a decade, but I can still hear it playing in the back of my brain.

I've never listened to his first or second album, other than the Bboy cuts. I might do that.

I like Mr.Lif. I never got super into him, but no denying his talent. A bunch of my friends were really into him though, so I have certainly heard most of his work. And dug it.

A buddy of mine used to be like the home studio engineer guy for Boston Hip Hop. I roped him into doing sound design for a music video (that unfortunately has yet to actually come out). My buddy showed it to Lif and he allegedly said " That was dope!".

So that's my one Mr.Lif non-story.

I like that early Brick records catalog. It can be a little nerdy with all the comic book and medical science lingo but for that time it seemed fresh. They had really strong beats and some standout MCs, Esoteric and Mr. Lif being a few. Virtuoso, Army of the Pharaohs, etc.

Lif's Madness in a Cup track on the Rebel Alliance LP was dope. He even put out a 12" on Grand Royal with a nice banjo sample.
