First How did it happen this LP with 2 & 4 include in Paris? How did you get to learn?
They already had the basic idea for this album. They are about a mutual acquaintance, who promotes for us and all sorts of other U.S. acts in Europe shows, came to us and ran after us a few instrumentals had shown was clear to us that we want to contribute. From there we began to formulate more ideas together and then the whole was then. What I like about it is that it is composed on one side of a lot of old sounds, on the other hand, it sounds so new and refreshing, compared to the music that you get to hear otherwise Sun For me it has something of a paradox. There is this old, great sound at the time of the day revives. The album has become quite round, and we are glad that we have decided to work with the two boys together.
Second How did the collaboration? Have you taken her to Paris and was an Atlantic between?
We recorded the whole thing in about three weeks in Paris. We recorded each track in succession, so starting with the intro, then made the second song, and so on. We do not have the whole thing is rolled up, as you would normally do on an album that they are working on various songs and only later does everything in order. We already knew what those will order and have kept it simple.
Third In your press release I've read that the album is the soundtrack to a film that has yet to be filmed before. Can we use this as a metaphor or even a movie is actually released it?
This is of course only be understood as a metaphor. But hey ... how many films were made from books where the author had no idea that it should ever become a movie. If time should the opportunity arise, we would definitely open it. But for us it is primarily a story that does not necessarily have an end. It sounds not like a book with "The End". One would hardly know how it goes. Even if there is one of the stories were probably told a thousand times, it feels refreshing to the characters and kind of funny and I think people will like it.
4th When you have established the Native Tongue, you have strived to raise awareness to bring hip hop music, which went out on guns and gold. What would be the theme of First Serve?
I always like to again clear that as we have found with these bands together, no one has said something like, "Yo ... Let us establish this collective and try to save the world". We have never made. We were little kids. The fact that we have called Native Tongue, has shown just because we were kindred spirits. We had to think the same way, the same language. And if you look at constellations later recalled ... Black Sheep were virtually the first serves. They were the ones who are constantly talking about gold, guns, women and bitches (laughs). I just want to make clear that it was not up to us to act as a Native Tongue by some sort to give of Consciousness. We were all just happen to like-minded rappers. We have chosen this name more because it would have been too long every time we do together what Jungle Brothers, De La Soul to write, A Tribe Called Quest. First Serve would be like ... my best choice would be to say as Black Sheep. They are the ones that an understanding of the values of hip hop have to write as well as a plan for them and great lyrics to be creative and unconventional. At the same time they are based but rather on materialistic issues, but nevertheless to stimulate thinking.
5th I've read that you gave before a long time hip hop classes at New York University. How was that and the whole thing so you can understand how those school hip hop on the album Disposable Arts by Masta Ace, with MPC and present lessons so forth?
Well ... For me the main thing that the art form of which I am part is understood. And when our genre was now fully accepted as a kind of music factory, it is important to me that many people know that part of it, and where it comes from. I talk constantly with kids who are mesmerized by a hard street life and Gangsterisms. They could tell you all about the gangsters of today, as of the time. Surely they would know more names of such people as of legendary rappers. I'll try to make it clear that they could talk about life on the road in the same manner as does her favorite rapper. And after being on the Internet and various TV shows get to hear the whole gangster names, you should at least also the same thing about the music you love to know. Knowing who Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force, were just as whoever was Kool Herc. He has brought the music to life. I try to teach people only, in the cause they love to make even further. That to me is the most important point.
6th Do you think it means a step forward, now that can actually publish each his own sound, or at any time should there be an incredible amount of new music, sometimes a filter?
It should be filtered definitely better. I think it behaves like with everything else. Everything has good and bad sides. I think it's a great thing that music making has become so much easier. Especially when I think of the funny times when we were young and the studio wanted. Only we had to work for it. Dave and I get to the burger shop or wherever, Mase, where he has just worked, just about the money together to go into the studio for you to pay them. Nowadays, most kids can scrape together the money for a program and simply work from home, which is great in my opinion. Just as the opportunities offered by the Internet. It's almost as if one would open his window and yell out to the world. Today, someone from Kinshasa. the possibility that a label in New York gets to hear his music and perhaps published. As you already mentioned, the bad side is that anyone can make sound today and I think that sometimes you just need some dispute with a thing to be good at it. Perhaps we should once have been working on a SP1200 or have been times in the studio have to stand on a mixer, just that the head gets used to certain processes, rather than one that relies on the program, it is already addressed in some way. When we then went into the studio, we had to make to the mixer and mix the album with our own hands and if someone has not beat the clean cut time or muted the lyrics in time, you had to do everything again from scratch. Your brain really had to cooperate to make it not to mess up while now ..... I think you know what I'm getting. The technology makes everything easier on the surface first. A lot of rappers nowadays come into the studio and say something like, "Alright ... I've now taken my part once. Sliding the one word a little bit forward, the back, the chorus was not quite on point ..." hau ... just a vocoder about it ...... exactly. At that time they had to be good at what they did, because it simply was not such Krams. To what extent is your way of making music has changed over the years? Much remains the same. As I have just said that the technology is really the only thing that has changed. I then started with master tracks to make music on a giant Apple, yet also with the SP1200. My point: Everything that have changed since then only the various programs from Logic to Pro Tools and so on. But I still try every aspect of the program to understand and get a feel for it then to use exactly so, as I need it.
7th I saw you on that A Tribe Called Quest documentary by Michael Rapport seen that has a somewhat open ended. What do you think how big our chances are that we get to hear again a Tribe album?
Bad ... I think that will not happen. To this day I am actually both of them are pretty close and I'm still a huge fan Tribe I got to hear versions of tracks that you will never hear. I have in my possession. I've heard songs that they have indeed received, but which are never published and still I burn for her music. But I'm also in a way like her brother ... and for me the important thing is that these two brothers (Phife Dawg and Q-Tip - Anm.dR) get along ... that's all. I do not care if they ever make music together again. I always had the feeling that their music was so on point, because it was also their relationship to each other. If this is not the case, it would probably miss the music in something. I often bring her to laugh when I see their relationship with the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, where Mick Jagger has continuously with beef, and so on, but the dynamics of this, whatever it does. But still I think there are still two guys who know each other since kindergarten. And I think it's just important that the two have their connection with each other, as a new tribe get to hear music.
8th In addition to making the music that you were in the past few years involved in all sorts of other projects such as the label to start Spitkicker, to design a shoe for Nike, this university thing about which we have previously spoken. What's next?
Making music is our main thing as before. That being said, we were often in conjunction with Nike. Let's see. Perhaps we work together again in a shoe with you. Otherwise, in any case books. I've always enjoyed writing and I am beginning to get my project a few children's books are much closer together. We would also like to publish a fairly comprehensive book De La Soul, with some of our stories and lyrics. We always get props for our texts, but when people are quoting it does not necessarily correspond to what we really wanted to say. Therefore, since we would like to make some clear cut and a book containing the lyrics to all albums out. Just such stuff. All sorts of ideas we would like to implement and in which we immerse ourselves wanting more.
9th Any new acts from the States, we should definitely take pure?
I think there are a lot of new artist, which here and there have their glitzy moments ... Mac Miller, I find pretty good. I think it should be checked out anyway. Kendrick Lamar's pretty cool. It is not necessarily new, but definitely one of these younger artists, good lyrics and have a great sound ... Well, there's a lot .... While not necessarily new, but still would be prominent, the Odd Future Crew. Taylor is crazy anyway. But many of the things he does are simply original and refreshing compared to what you get to hear otherwise Sun And it's nice to see that both the gangster group, and all other artists appreciate that type that he is a refreshing way apart from the rest ... I think everyone should consider themselves what is good and what is not one. For me personally, there is now not necessarily a certain artists whose albums I would all celebrate.
10th Last question. You go on tour with First Serve?
If the opportunity arises, for sure. We are definitely pretty things with our De La be clamped, but without question we would like to go on tour. Once the album is out, you will see how far a complete promoter with respect to First Serve will show to come to us. We are rehearsing with the band, which has also worked on the album with us for some TV shows and in any case, we would also like to go on tour with them.
