nice. aye, I listened to hip hop religiously frfrom say 87-92, then I got into Floyd, Bowie etc and completely sacked it off til about 2004. worked with this real cool dude who introduced me to stuff like Doom, Madlib, Dilla etc and I was officially back in the game!
I say that, other than say Earl, KL, KA el-p, KM, Action Bronson a few other true dudes, my finger is well and truly off the hip hop pulse.
s’all about the jazz for me these days man. hard as fuck to keep tabs on multiple genres innit!

Man i bet there’s tons more current stuff you would love but yeah, time and effort.

yeah man…and to be fair, I’m on a bus, dog tired and completely devoid of any semblance of a coherent thought pattern. I’m into way, way more stuff than I previously listed.
long day maaaaan

Fantastic hip hop producer back in the day who now attatches his name to a lot of poop. I associate his name to sterile sounding rock going for mass appeal these days.

<3 Rick. SO chill.

My good friend called me this summer and was so pumped to tell me this story: He was eating at a low key restaurant in LA with his girl and Rick walked in with his girl and sat a few tables away. My friend told the waitress he would pick up Rick’s tab. She was a little shocked since he looks like a homeless person and didnt know who he was. When he was told about it Rick looked over with a huh who dis look. My friend was leaving and Rick motioned for him to come over, kinda sheepishly shook his hand and was like whats this all about do i know you what can i do for you you’re too kind type of stuff. My friend just said “you’ve gifted me with more music and been involved with so many artists (dude’s a MASSIVE Slayer fan) that I love and you’ve helped soundtrack some major parts of my life, its the least i could do to buy your lunch” and then shook his hand again and left, no pics, no autographs. i was like DUDE WHY NO PICTURE MAN and he was just like thats not the point. He was so pumped when he was telling me he was like youre the only person i can tell about this that would appreciate it haha.
