Rakim Told Me
Has anyone checked this book yet? I just ordered mine this morning.
The author interviews several artists on the creative process of making what are now considered to be, classic albums.
To me, it sounds just like watching a DVD commentary with the director or reading a Roots album liner notes.
You can order the book from the author at www.waxfacts.com

:mrgreen: you don't think you KNow Django all those pics are from your site...damn this looks ill will have to investigate I did an interview the other night and ended up saying that I still don't think 1988 has been touched as the illest yeat for hip hop ever, but I did think 1992 did come very close.

Yeah, I haven't seen it for ages either.
There was this big hoo-hah before it launched when loads of people bought subscriptions, before the first issue had even come out. Actually, I don't think they'd even started writing the first issue, and they were already taking peoples money. Months and months and months went by and people were screwing. They weren't answering emails or phone calls. Then it finally arrives and they stop making it after what, 6 issues?! Cheeky bastards.

I actually had a subsciption for Big Daddy because the only two places i've seen it here were Sandbox and in Fat Beats and it tended to fly off the shelves but they gave me my money back when it went belly up
i ordered the Hear No Evil cd's from them too and then, outta the blue, they sent me a promo cd of the Ivory "Zulu beat" mix..the one with all the electro and Kraftwerk joints mixed with funk and rock breaks made in tribute to the old Afrika Islam Zulu Beat radio show
not sure why they did that but i'm grateful they did.
I'm glad i didn't get another subsciption now though
this waitin' a year for an issue shit isn't what's up.

OK, this book is great. I flew down to Florida last week and read it on the plane.
I actually e-mailed the author last night telling him that I read his book on a plane and wished I could listen to each album after finishing every chapter.
He e-mailed me back and said his second book on 90's albums should be out this December.
Anyone else read it? I highly recommend it.
