Once Ghostface Killah was a guest at the "Rap City" TV programm. Cappadonna joined him later, coming with a briefcase in his hands. Tigga asked Ghost about the contents of that briefcase but Ghost didn't say a word. Then Tigga started smiling and XXXX, so Ghost asked him smth like: "Do I look funny or what?

Truth.
Is it true that:
P taught havoc a lot about producing and left it to him?
Is it the same for Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammed?
I've always heard that and I guess we often preach what we hear. Any truth to it?
-
Actually on both the Infamous and Hell on Earth all the tracks say
Produced by MOBB DEEP.So P had a lot to do with the production.
Same shyt goes for EPMD. A lot of people credit Erick Sermon when actually Parrish did most of the work on the early albums.
Don't know about Tribe though.
-
Straight. Did he school Havoc tho or they just both skilled from the get go?

Never knew P could produce.Wow!
My question still stands why that nigga Curtis is credited as an Executive producer on the above mentioned albums yet he never produced a single track on the album?
-
Suge Knight was executive producer of all of Death Row's projects but he never did a single beat. An executive producer is usually somebody who invests money into a project and takes care of other things above and beyond the music. He/She can have input on the project obviously but these are usually the "BIG BOSS" type muthaf***as who got nothin to do with the musical aspects of the project and are just concerned with the bottom line.
And by the way, a producer is not somebody who just makes a beat.

Questlove interview
What did y'all do with the records? Sample them?
Oh, we had five minutes to make a beat blind, without knowing the records. At first, I cried foul because both Frank and Proof were Dilla's friends. So, I chose the records for him. I made sure I chose records with no drums, no loops, nothing. I gave him Rick James' "Street Songs." He was like "you sure about this," and he did something that I would never forget. He took the intro to "Give it To Me Baby," slowed it down to an impossible rate, rearranged the ba**line. I wanted to cry that day. The next day, Common heard it and liked it, and it wound up being "Doin' It" on Common's album.

Even now i cant picture P Producing beatz ;D

-
Even now i cant picture P Producing beatz ;D
In retrospect i don't really think P produced the beats. Don't know why the credits read like that, but on the QueensBridge documentary, Tragedy says he was in studio @ times when Havoc was producing beats for The Infamous. So probably on the credits it's "produced by mobb deep" as in the song was "created" by them as a whole and not just the BEAT.
-
but is P really puss? Dammit!, cats talk smack about snuffin' you out. ...... no matter how much we see that people don't practice what they preach, it just doesn't cease to amaze a mahfcker.

An executive producer is someone in charge of a project's DIRECTION creative-wise and financially.
He has last say.
For instance he can approve the beats that end up on an album- not produce them and approve the amount that can be spent for the project.

Yeah. That's probably true.
Depending on how tight a creative team is- meaning no egos and all, they prefer to be credited as equals.
The same with the Beatles songs were always credited as Lennon-Mcarthy- even though it's written by one person.
You find that Mobb Deep is meeting of equals- Havov beats; Prodigy lyrics, or even concepts.
And between the two of them they felt it's one thing: Mobb Deep.

On a side note I love that cat. Favourite writer of mine.
I remember listening to the the Watergate Blues after Bush got re-elected and the same being 100% percent on point with the present situation replace Vietnam with Iraq.
Once my crew stops drinking draughts at the Loft and get our website together (or maybe do both) my first piece is going to a primer for Gil Scot Heron going through his whole catalogue and introducing him to those who don't know him.
I've already done notes probably somewhere in my house but this is how I'm going to open the piece from memory...
"Somewhere out there he walks.
Syringe tainted with AIDS blood sticking out his skeletal arm. Or maybe they've captured him again and he is standing at dispensary slamming the gla** window crying for heroin and having to settle for methadone: The greatest poet ever..."

They may not get the news but they need to know
we're on their side.
Now sometimes distance brings
misunderstanding,
but deep in my heart I'm demanding;
Somebody tell me what's the word?
Sister/woman have you heard
'bout Johannesburg?
I know that their strugglin' over there
ain't gonna free me,
but we all need to be strugglin'
if we're gonna be free
Don't you wanna be free?

i dig Gil-Scott Heron. Black Wax is my shit.
i didn't like the other poem you posted up (maybe because i disagree with Ginsberg's claim?) but this:
"Somewhere out there he walks.
Syringe tainted with AIDS blood sticking out his skeletal arm. Or maybe they've captured him again and he is standing at dispensary slamming the gla** window crying for heroin and having to settle for methadone: The greatest poet ever..."
is dope!
look forward to the site. good luck with prying hands from the draughts at the Loft. so many brilliant ideas drown under the malt and its promise of "tomorrow, next week or in a few months once i..." and that's none other than experience talking.
peace!
@bornenbl3d. thanks for the poem, bredren.
