Hiero & Dilated Peoples in the Studio (Video), 2001
I’ve been going through my MiniDV tapes (remember those?) and found the recording session for what would become “Center of Attention” (off of DJ Babu’s, Duck Season Vol. 1) featuring Souls of Mischief, Pep Love and Dilated Peoples. The video and recording session took place at Evidence’s Los Angeles-based home studio in March of 2001. Higher resolution video link after…
Rahsheed & Ill Advised – 1.9.8.6. Video
I was at the video shoot for this way back in 1998 with Mic Meech of the legendary Fightins Phillies blog. For years I wanted to see the final video but I just never caught it on any late night hiphop video shows. But that changed last week when I randomly searched for it on Youtube and BOOM — There…
Interview with Domino, Hieroglyphics – June 1997 (Presented in Stink-E-Scope)
I dug up a pretty amazing audio conversation I had with Domino of Hieroglyphics from way back in June 1997, right as Hiero was knee-deep preparing their debut “family album”, 3rd Eye Vision for mass consumption. Presented in our all-new Stink-E-Scope theater technology, this is more than just a simple audio interview: Sit back and be amazed by the moving…

All That Rah Rah: Dying in Video Games is Dead
For such a fast moving and competitive industry, video gaming sure is hung up on a lot of gameplay conventions from its past. Specifically, I’m talking about holdouts from its heritage in the arcades: Where gameplay was admitted as a limited use contract in exchange for your quarter. The arcades differ greatly than the home console experience we are used to…
Bit by Bit: Obscure Video Game Samples in Obscure Hip-Hop Songs
Hip-Hop beats were built on producers digging through crates of old, dusty vinyl records in the elusive search for the Perfect Sample. But some of these dudes apparently have been digging through yard sales and the used video game rack at GameStop too because there’s quite a bit of video game sampling going on in hiphop. Below are some mad…
BBR Sessions (1998-1999) – Free Album Download
Between 1998-1999, I was a member of the Philadelphia-based group, BBR: Big Brother Resistance. We were a politically-charged and socially-minded hiphop group focusing strongly on technology, the media, politics, and the control and abuse of information by corrupt corporations. It was me on production as Binyameen and occasionally “Stinke”, and MCs Tim T and PCP. I produced all of the tracks…
