Here’s a pair of mixes for you aging B-Boys and B-Girls:
Via Ego Trip, here’s a good, long interview with Q-Tip. Just when you thought Tip was an unbearable flake you watch something like this and understand what he’s about. Sure, there is some self-consciousness but he’s an artist, after all. Beyond that, he’s funny and smart and it’s a good interview. Oh, and skip ahead to the 50:30 mark to hear a snippet of Primo’s incredible demo version of Nas’ “Memory Lane.” Can’t get it out of my head, man.
Via Ego Trip, dig this oral history of the making of “The Crooklyn Dodgers” tune over at Red Bull Music Academy.
