        <description><![CDATA[Source: <a href="http://www.halftimeonline.com">http://www.halftimeonline.com</a>Audio Pt. 1: <a href="http://www.halftimeonline.com/podcasts/chuckdinterviewpt1.mp3">http://www.halftimeonline.com/podcasts/chuckdinterviewpt1.mp3</a>As the front man for the legendary group Public Enemy Chuck D helped revolutionize the rap game by bringing political, social and cultural consciousness to the forefront of hip hop discussion. Following Public Enemy???s success a number of groups came forward with a foundation in Afrocentrism. The production team, The Bomb Squad consisting of Chuck D, Hank &amp; Keith Shocklee, and Eric ???Vietnam??? Sadler, created a dense, ferocious rock infused sound unlike anything that came before them to outline PE???s scathing narratives. In addition to their lyrical content and sound, PE also pioneered a number of other hip hop movements including the first rap world tours, introduced the first hype man in Flavor Flav, and released the first albums on mp3.We caught up with Chuck following his work on Ali Rap to discuss a number of topics. In a conversation that lasted roughly two hours we talked about the creation of P.E., his relationship with Flavor Flav, Ice Cube, politics and a lot in between.Halftimeonline: Back in the days when you were apart of Spectrum City you said you were the emcee that did all the ugly duties like the designing the flyers and running the record pool. Could you talk about those days and how you ended up becoming the main emcee in the group? Chuck D: Well, <a href="/search?Search=%231&amp;Mode=like">#1</a> I was a big fan of Spectrum and Hank Shocklee before there were records. Then when rap records became a reality we were playing those records along with other records. So when I first got a gig with Spectrum we were mobile DJs who were experts at moving the crowd and rocking the audience. I became an emcee in the truest sense of the form where I would not only be the Master of Ceremonies but I had to also move the crowd. I was really making sure that I navigated the music that was going down in a proper way to inform the crowd musically. We were the best at doing it because back then if you were and MC and didn???t have a voice you weren???t getting on the mic. You couldn???t just get up and scream something wack over the music and have people take it. It was easier for them to be like get that wack cat off the mic and let the music breathe. Nowadays cats think because they know a couple of slang words they can be on the mic, but their voices may not be cool enough to not get in the way of the music. They???re just in the way but they need to let the music breathe and rock the crowd right with skill. That skill comes from rocking hundreds of crowds and really feeling what the audience is feeling instead of just going off of what you think. I spent six or seven years refining those skills before I started making records.Halftimeonline: I was reading an interview you did a while back and in it you said when you met Hank Shocklee he helped you get to a new level of emceeing. What were some of the things you would attribute to him that helped you get to that level?Chuck D: When I met Hank Shocklee I approached it as I was a fan of his outfit and I wanted to tell him that I could help him with graphics, imaging and flyers to have people come to their gigs. Back in the day you had to have a good voice to cut through an inferior sound system. Spectrum was one of the few that had a real good system so a good voice would come through even better. Hank realized I had a good voice that was able to cut through and he taught me the importance of timing and not always having to rock the crowd except at the peak points and those nuances I keep to this day. It???s almost like Count Bassy when he was making his music. He did more music without making music, with spaces, than most cats did with music. It???s the same thing with emceeing. You can say volumes sometimes without saying anything or saying something at the right times. Those are some of the nuances of emceeing, not rapping because that???s a whole different thing. If you are emceeing a gig you can sometimes throw your rap button on and rock a portion of the crowd and turn it back off and go into emceeing. Not too many cats know the difference.Halftimeonline: I find it interesting that even prior to your emcee career you were on the ground floor of trying to get hip hop on the radio, you had a video show, etc. but you were leery of getting a record deal. Obviously, you felt it was positive, but where did you see hip hop going at the time?Chuck D: I was always a big sports fan, as well as all my guys. Sports are organized and you can???t just come on the team from nowhere. When you look at professional sports guys have to come from college, go through some kind of pecking order or meet some skill standards to get to wherever they wanted to take it. The industry was nonexistent at that time as far as rap and hip hop goes and I wanted to be able to understand it and bring some structure to it. We were always envious of the things the guys in the rock world were doing. They had logos, bands that always seemed to play, they released records and were respected internationally and local. At that time rap music seemed to be something that just happened. You had good cats that were skilled at doing it but the music largely resulted from young people trying to stay busy. I wanted to get involved with it and see if I could take it to another place. I graduated college at 24 or 25 and I???m thinking I???m gonna do something anyway so I???ll do this and it won???t have any bearing on my living. If it happens to overtake it then I???ll have to have a discussion to see what I want to do with the whole music thing.Halftimeonline: After you guys officially formed it took a while before you put out a record. I heard you were trying to also do a syndicated radio show. Tell us a bit about that.Chuck D: Well, I always wanted to get into broadcasting. I always thought that you could actually broadcast rap and hip hop in a way that could be informative. We already knew the music was already fly so all you had to be was informative. I thought that there could be better ways to go about doing hip hop on the radio other than what was thrown at people. Most of the New York guys like Chuck Chillout and Red Alert didn???t set the best example because they didn???t allow them to talk. They let Mr. Magic talk but other than that there were few radio shows that were able to explain the nuances of the music. That???s what I wanted to get into. That understanding came from me wanting to be in the sports casting world. Marv Albert was a hero of mine. He had a flow, a great voice, and could explain all of the street elements of basketball.Halftimeonline: Was that why you were always known to rock Pirates gear because of your love of sports?Chuck D: Roberto Clemente is a hero of mine. He is the epitome of an athlete that transcended into the world, both he and Muhammad Ali. The P in the Pirates gear also stood for Public Enemy. At one particular point I was selling more black Pirates hat than the Pirates themselves. After I wore one in my video I got a letter from Major League Baseball saying that they would not like me to wear a Pirates or St. Louis Cardinals hat. They said they would prefer that I not wear any major league baseball hats in my videos and that they were not condoning any use of their material. I was like hell I bought that as a consumer.

At just 23 years of age, Adam has been producing music and DJing for more than five years. Since starting out playing drums in the rock band Sabio, which for several years took him on regular tours across Europe, Adam has fast gained a reputation for himself as studio wizard, musical maestro and tantalizing turntablist. His incredible deck talents involve fusing funk, hip-hop and breaks with his own style of highly innovative scratching and sampling, and have won him prime-time slots across the UK including FabricLive, Ministry of Sound, The Apollo, 93 Feet East and Chew The Fat in London; Supercharged, The Boutique, Catskills, Ocean Rooms and The Event in Brighton and Blowpop in Bristol, as well as gigs across the world playing at major events and music industry parties such as the Hit Factory Studio (New York) and Transmusicales Festival (France). A.Skillz has also been a busy boy in the studio with his impeccable engineering talents being utilised by high profile labels such as Defunked, Arista, Curious Records and Planet Funk. He also co-produced the flip to the UK No.1 smash hit "Breathe" by Blu Cantrell with fellow producers Ed Funk &amp; D Rok, as well as "Feel The Love" with Funk n' Flex. Adam has also mixed and engineered compilations for the UK's leading dance music magazine Mixmag, and has written and produced tracks for pop groups T-Girl and Tribe. Over the past two years, Mr Skillz has been working in the studio with a certain other Brighton breakbeater and scratchmaster: Finger Lickin's very own Krafty Kuts, producing their highly acclaimed album "Tricka Technology".  With a nod towards De La Soul, Ugly Duckling, Gorillaz and Jurassic 5, it is true Finger Lickin' Funk, and the future certainly looks bright for these two! Enlisting the talents of some of the world's best hip-hop and funk artists including Kurtis Blow, Real Elements and Ashley "Freakpower" Slater, the duo have created an album that just oozes a summertime vibe full of hip-hop beats, party licks, deck tricks and spontaneous skits. He is currently working on his first solo artist album which will see him team up with DJ partner Krafty Kuts as well as other major names for some seriously hot collaborations! You read it hear first: you'll be seeing plenty more of the amazing Skillz in the future!  <b>wordPEOPLE<img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e6/Sunpredictable/wordpeople.jpg" alt="" /> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/wordpeoplemusic">www.myspace.com/wordpeoplemusic</a>  [/b] Sometimes timing is everything. Driven by the common objective to assemble an all-live manifestation of a love for beats, rhymes and life, wordPEOPLE was formed in summer of 2003.The band's desire to record the material that had matured in front of live audiences materialized when 91.5fm The Beat hosted the "Rhythm of the Future Showcase" in Kitchener, Ontario. An outstanding performance of original music earned wordPEOPLE first prize in the group performance category and $18, 000 in studio time. The resulting recording, a five song EP entitled Vol. 1: PLAYONWORDS, musically and thematically fulfills the emcee's lyrical declaration; it is a mix of "the physical and digital, the sensible and whimsical". With current online distribution through Maple Music, wordPEOPLE is poised to continue the soul mission to make music that satisfies the mind and body.wordPEOPLE's positive vibe and live instrumentation is at the heart of their ability to entertain audiences of all ages and musical interests. wordPEOPLE has garnered the attention of festival promoters, propelling the act into the public eye at such events as the Nike "Who Runs This Town?" rock festival in spring of 2005. In the same year wordPEOPLE was well received at the 2005 Oakville Jazz Festival, where festival-goers eagerly embraced the contemporary urban sounds alongside a line-up of traditional jazz ensembles. More recent dates have seen wordPEOPLE share the stage with God Made Me Funky, Mr. Something Something, Ike Turner, The Pocket Dwellers, K'naan, Sekoya and Nick Ali's GruvAsylum. Currently recording their first full-length offering set for release in mid-March 2007, wordPEOPLE continues to perform for steadily increasing and receptive crowds, proudly delivering carefully crafted Canadian urban music. <b>THANK YOU![/b] What an incredible two years for the fledging collective!

This volume builds on v.2 with more afro funk and drum loops!! Essentially it's a 40+ minute mix which delivers a healthly dose of good vibes, bone rattling funk, and soul satisfaction. Listen daily for optimal effects, best taken aurally. Featuring tracks by Roy Ayers, Jon Kennedy, Visioneers, Hawkeye, Manzel, Fela, Budos Band, Black Merda and much more!!<a href="http://www.soundliftchicago.com/music/selfhypnosis3-trew.mp3">Self Hypnosis V.3</a>]]>
