Gza is pretty boring live...but I've seen him do solo sets a lot of times already...so I am kinda biased...I think some MCs tend not to be as good live as in the studio just because thats not their style....Rakim is boring live too...but we all know he's a beast in the studio when he wants to be...b...

Didn't really like this track....I have to disagree about Joell Ortiz in general though...dude can rhyme his ass off...check the video link below....his set was delayed cause of technical difficulties...so instead of waiting around for shit to be fixed, dude just went acapella for a good 8 or 9 minu...

Let's all wish Buckshot a speedy recovery http://ny.knittingfactory.com/show.php?event_id=116723 http://grandgood.com/2008/09/25/black-moon-performing-%E2%80%9Centa-da-stage%E2%80%9D-and-smif-n-wessun-performing-%E2%80%9Cdah-shinin%E2%80%9D-live-in-nyc-tomorrow-nights-show-rescheduled-for-november-8...

And they all killed it

The story behind how this song was made might be even better http://grandgood.com/2008/08/25/dj-revolution-talks-in-detail-about-producing-the-dj-featuring-krs-one/ As soon as I heard the sample, I knew I had to make this track with KRS or not make it at all. In ג€™95 or ג€™96 he did a record called...

He performed this at a show in NYC last week...its only aight to me

For all you Video Music Box lovers out there....you know the deal...youre gonna have to go to to the link to see the pics cause I dont feel like doing the code for all of it http://grandgood.com/2008/07/19/grandmaster-caz-performs-with-sugar-hill-gang-video-music-box-25th-anniversary-show-is-a-night...

I've never been a huge fan of Freddie Foxxx much but that unreleased album (Crazy Like A Foxxx ) he's releasing on Fat Beats later this month sounds crazy....check out the production team on this one: Easy Mo Bee Pete Rock Showbiz Lord Finesse Buckwild And this album was made in '94 just to give yal...

Going to see the same tour 4 times and expecting a different show every time is kind of self-defeating. You know they have a set list, and rap doesn't really lend itself to live variation...the appeal is in the act of seeing one of your favorite artists do your favorite songs. I agree for the most ...

I saw Slick Rick perform four times last year...he did the same set over and over....each time, I hoped he would change the set at least a little...but it was the same, even down the skits in between tracks!! Who would you consider truly entertaining performers?...for me, off the top of my head, the...

A) Why would you want to see any act perform multiple times in the same year? Just seems like a waste of money. B) :larry: to everything else. A) Cause I love going to shows and seeing these artists perform...I catch KRS as much as I can in NYC...in 2006, I saw him twice in one week and it was amaz...

i've noticed as a general rule that the older rappers put on better shows, probably because they've been doing it for so long I guess that's true...if it wasnt for nostalgia, most acts suck live...not many true entertaining hip-hop acts out there...KRS, Greg Nice, etc....acts that dont just go thro...

The Carnival was a dope album....the follow up wasnt as good but still had some solid tracks...I cant front...that 911 track with Mary J Blige is great

Yeah that was a dope performance on vh1...thats why i was so surprised he did so little material...they did say he was tired and just got off a plane so i guess thats why he just bounced after a short set....still weak though

I've never seen him live but I always heard he was a dope performer...he did a show tonight in Brooklyn and some dudes said his set was MAD short...is he like that all the time?....or was tonight just a fluke?

http://grandgood.com/2008/06/15/the-bea ... pointment/

Yeah good show...I also missed the Buckshot and KRS set...caught Gza and Rakim though....Rakim's set was cut way short because he ran out of time...they just turned off everyone's mics and put the lights back on...wack...someone went on for too long I guess

Videos coming soon

Ask Diamond why he never performs or appears at shows with his DITC comrades

Wow this wasnt even a hard choice for me....Treach all the way kiddies

That's right...free...for those that dont know, NYC CityParks Foundation puts together free shows every summer at various NYC parks around the five boroughs...I go to as many as I can every year cause the artists performing are the bomb diggity...some of the best shows ive been to have been these fr...

I would up the remix but my decks havent been set up for about a year ha Mark 563: Thanks for the clarification...cant believe its been 4 years since that came out...Wax Poetics been doing it for a long time now...anyway, speaking of a producer not getting the credit he deserves, anyone know about a...

I think the Wax Poetics interview went like this...he was making a beat for something and had all the samples lined up on his computer and whatnot...Puff and/or Big came over unexpectedly to chill or whatever...Puff glanced at the layout of the beat and didnt make no mention of it...Puff then jacks ...

Did anyone happen to read an interview he did with Wax Poetics a year or two ago?...one of the things I remember was him saying how Puff jacked his beat for Juicy...and that Puff felt bad or something so he threw PR a bone by letting him do a remix on the b-side...if you listen to the remix, its bas...

Recorded in February 2008...kinda surprised me cause I didnt even know they had beef like that...its arguable that CL Smooth is putting out better music than Pete Rock nowadays though http://grandgood.com/2008/05/10/pete-rock-dont-ask-me-about-cl-smooth-no-more-they-reminisce-over-you-troy-live-vide...

1. The Beatnuts are better producers than The Neptunes? By a loooooooooooooooooong mile...The Beatnuts are better producers than alot of cats out there 2.

I enjoyed Bizarre Ride more than The War Report...Tragedy was really one of the only saving graces on that album

Whoa surprising results...I wouldve picked EPMD by a mile...the first three De La albums were classics...but once they abandoned Prince Paul's production, their albums suffered greatly IMO...EPMD's first three albums are classics and their fourth is pretty damn good...although most of the albums aft...

This new album is really freakin good...wow...gonna pre-order the CD right now....and the Envelope album as well Yo Blueprint or anyone else for that matter...anyone know where I can buy a copy of Envelope's first release on Easter Island Recordings?...he isnt responding to the myspace message Than...
