This is an aside,
but does anyone dig how certain rappers,
regardless of being serious mainstream sellers,
will ALWAYS manage to sound underground
in a mix, particularly if the rest of the mix is
predominately instrumental tracks or (!) electronica?
I guess that is (one part of the Gnjus that is...) Kool Keith's appeal.
"I collaborate with so many people."
"Who do you like to work with?" I asked in my awkwardly patronising way.
"I like rock bands, they just come in and let you do what you want to do. They just hand you an envelope and smoke weed and roll up a bong…"
Kurt cut in: "Did you just say roll up a bong?”
"Yeah," continued Keith,
ignoring him,
"they just roll they things and let you do what you want.
I work with some producers and they want me to conform to the project. A lot of these artists have requests, they want me to rap about a leaf for the whole song. These rock bands pay me out the ass, like ten grand and I can rap about my ass or taking a shit and they like it."
A list of Kool keith's alias's:
Other people I find this applies to are
mainstream artists like AZ, Jeru The Damaja
