Is the reason behind the jumping out of a window suicide attempt incident because someone threatened to out him as being gay?

Were you relieved when ConspiracySBU revealed that Mindbender Futurama was The Gay Rapper™ all along?

80s tour stories from these dudes are usually good value as they were often on those Rush Management tours with LL, PE, Stet, Run DMC etc

that Def Squad bandcamp he's got up and running looks decent so far, has he got any unreleased shit (Redman, EPMD etc) he might drop?

this unreleased Passion & Jamal track for example. Apparently it was for a Def Squad project that never dropped.

Details about Redman living on his couch, high on acid, making Dare Iz a Darkside...

The heavy bass on their first few albums, how they got that sound, what inspired it...

Transgender issues...

Does he cringe as hard as I do when “Music” is played? Was it worth the check?

Has he ever worn color-enhancing contacts?

Does he think EMPD was better than Nice and Smooth?

How did he come to craft his sound?
I assume it's a personal thing but it could've been like strictly business or a series of accidents etc
Cause that sermon sound is like your spidey senses start tingling and your head starts nodding

I know we are all typing fast and nobody gives a fuck about punctuation or grammar anymore... BUT

DAWG :fail: :bunk: :killacam:

did you NOT see that you made the ROOKIE ERROR OF 1992 there? Mans wrote "EMPD" and left it like it he was Kayne West and gave no fucks on some "you can't tell me NUFFIN" shit :lol: :naswtf:


~ask Erick Sermon if he was serious about signing "all the 90s artists" and making music with them like he just said on Twitter
~what does he produce his movies on these days?
~I think I saw him say he wanted to get into producing movie scores and themes. Ask him what movies he loves and what kind of production soundscape he would bring to it, if given the chance to go Hans Zimmer?

A common question I find myself wanting to ask most of my 80's & 90's legends: will you be coming out with instrumental LP versions of your classic albums?

Not sure if you watched the episode of Drink Champs with EPMD, but I seem to remember E was about to get into a good story, but as usual drunk NORE cut him off and the topic changed (might be a good episode to watch for question ideas).....

NORE is the worst interviewer

Has anyone mentioned the thing about jumping out of the window yet?

Serious question:

-How much unreleased EPMD material is he sitting on?

def gonna be hard to broach the subject of homosexuality even if you're very respectful and considerate. you could point out that it's acceptable now, with young thug, lil uzi vert, etc.

I'd also like to know what's up with the Craig Mack album he recorded right before Craig passed away. He had mentioned a while back that they wanted to put it out, but haven't heard anything about it since then....

I've been listening to rap for for a long time and contrary to a lot of other producer, I didn't hear a lot of producers
replicating that "funk" sound from Eric Sermon. This guy was unique. He's underrated IMO.

We spoke to E for over 90 minutes and I still didn't get a chance to rattle off every question I wanted to ask.
