Crowding out is a rap duo consisting of emcees Javid the Unique MC and indie rap pete (the million named emcee). Formed under the mission to bring hip hop knowledge to the world and to obliterate idiotic music. Crowding is about thinking, learning, knowledge, and bringing hip hop to the roots of what it used to be. Crowding out drops knowledge and science with wits, cynicism, and issues that point people in the direction of free thinking. We are non-conformist, we do not play by the rules, and more importantly we make music we like, say things we want to hear, and write about things we deem worth writing.
Why this name?
We hated our economics class and thought this was a funny name. It's also an inside joke between the third reich of our 5th period economics class.
Do you play live?
We play everwhere, schools, parks, w/e. we usually do whatever shows we can. We love performing for the sake of performing.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It brings the music to the people, gives them a base to learn about new music. The internet allows people to sample what they are about to buy. If they love something they'll buy it, if it's garbage they won't, simple as that. If they love it and they are a real fan, they buy it, if their a cockhead, they won't. It's all about loyalty to the artists, not royalty to the artists.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
depends...
(Javid says no, unless it's underground such as Def Jux or Rhymesayers.... then yes!!!)
