hank shocklee with microphone check (npr interview) ---- really really great interview
- Thread starter I love Latina women
- Start date
Jacksonville, Fla.. Hank Shocklee lives in Atlantic Beach..
that part where he talks about timbaland's production at the 43:18 mark
a gem.
Leaders will lead, and followers will follow. Same ol story.
I know leaders when I hear em (yep, the avy). and these new trap nikkas nor fake conscious rappers of today aint leaders.
and 46:01 is exactly why I don't fukk with Joey Badass, Kendrick Lamar (not quite as bad as Joey in this manner but far worse in the cosign-desperation department) and J Cole who talk about saving hip hop and bringing it back. It's all the same robot weak shyt that killed hip hop to begin with.

They got video now?They steppin their game up
exactly what i thought. they have some shytty episodes but some very good ones. Ali never goes too deep into the producing side which is good and bad.
listening now to begin my morning
the work with PE, and to a lesser extent the work with Cube and that distinctive production are what Hank/the Bomb Squad will be known for. However, it doesnt get talked the Bomb Squad produced a majority of the Great Adventures of Slick Rick, a totolly different sounding record and artist.

I haven't even watched the whole thing, but might be the GOAT interview for history about innovation and ingenuity of the genre that was hip hop.
I've told CACs that hip hop is fukkin electronic music, none of this shyt from jungle to this new "den" shyt would exist if it wasn't for how lil good dudes were manipulating and making hardware do thIngs it wasn't supposed to do.
Pause tapes
@frush11 man shout out dubstep and dnb
him slightly implying the influence dnb had on timberland

Hank Shocklee was the 1st hip hop producer that I TRULY admired. To this day I honestly believe he's the BRAINCHILD to the bomb squad's production. Not Chuck, not his brother Keith, not Eric Sadler... but him. I feel the rest of them contributed in some kind of way with getting samples and whatnot, but I always felt he was the one that mixed and arranged and meshed those productions.

Great interview although you could tell Ali was tired as fukk lmao.
I'd be interested in hearing him produce today. Usually older artists stagnate due to being out of touch with modern sounds and technology (regardless of genre). Guys like Q-Tip never fell off because they never stopped looking forward. Hank sounds similar so I'd be curious to hear what his beats would sound like now.
