originality

[the panic!]

@ Dpleezy. word. thanks for clearing that up. knew some people would get lost in the semantics. but that's basically what i meant. by the way, who would you list?

@Watz. can't believe i left out Audio Visual (do you have any tapes/albums by the way?) and Blk Sonshine. too dope. and sibot - man, there was a time when the whole African Dope contingent used to kill it. thabs is a staple, of course. haven't heard of P.E.R.M (put me on!). i must say though, i don't know about that Kenzhero guy. i mean, his sets to me have always been cool as far as playing all the right tracks at the right places at the right times goes. but other than that he doesn't really do much for me. what else does he do ?

@bornenbl3d. been sleeping on those ETC cats. see they've been getting shine in the niche media (Obrigado, One Small Seed). will peep. and yo put me on to that Invisible Man!

@Waylander. again, put me on bro. who's the Jerusalem Man? what's he on?

As far as Audio Visual I got an old promo CD that featured the songs

A\V
Pop Type
Copastetic Phenomenology
Not Sayin'
and
Semen

As for P.E.R.M. it was a 9-piece crew from Jo'burg, which included Tumi, Zee, Strawmoon, Space2wice, Kju52, Richard The 3rd, McWillie, Neo Shamiyaa and Dilseng, they released a Tape called APT: An Artistic Representation of Truth, I only heard a couple of songs from it, but what I heard was out of this world, if anybody is reading this that has a copy, please, please, please hook a brother up!!


Now for Kenzhero, I have a CD of his called DJ Kenzhero Presents His Rare And Unreleased Bootlegs, Remixes And Instrumentals the CD is really dope, I really dig the samples he uses and the way he flips them, has a real jazzy bluesy kind of feel to it, the CD features Bhubesii, Vikinduku, 5th Floor, Damola, Zubz, Tumi and Lebo Mashile.

I'm going to upload the Audio Visual CD for people to download, because it needs to be heard, and a lot of people that I've mentioned this too, were unfamiliar with the material, AV are WAAAAYYY ahead of their time!

[the panic!]

dope! upload that shit, yo! that P.E.R.M shit sounds too ill. yo, where can i get that kenzhero drop?

[TATEguru v.2K9]

Blk Sonshine is very original. Many influences sited but you'd never mistake their sound for anyone else.

Word, ETC Crew is bonkers, and their performances always come fresh and unhinged. Their DJ, White Nite, can also rock super-dope sets. Cop their album, got to their website (www.etccrew.com), support their hustle!!! (Sorry, but I'm a huuge fan )

As for Invisible Man, trax are tight. Not so sure about their stage presence though, they failed to impress me when I first saw them...but I figure that was only relative to the work they'd put out on wax, which is reallly sweet. Any links to their material? Maybe Tate has something...Second Son...anyone??

@ the panic! and biz-ark-human

Yeah White Nite is sick enough. Mad amusing edge to that whole crew and they got mad flavour, sorry but I mean that in the truest sense of the statement. You should see White Nite's promo pic with the tissue in his nose.  That's that edge I like. No PM Dawn.

The Sensei would be the one to talk to re InvisibleMan. I have some stuff but I wouldn't be ok with upping that unseconded by Second Son. Would be supabeetch. I think the concept is fresh though, just hope it's not too broad for the SA picture, but who cares. Stagewise I can't comment, yet (hopefully!).

And that's the image in question

[Koli qha]

Who's 'The Sensei'?

[SolitaryNative]

Are you sure you're ready, I mean really ready to take that pill? To know the unknowable truth?
