*Update* 2006 June
I'm currently further pursuing a coreer in the music industry, both production and performance, only recently have i began to produce Hardcore Dance Music, but still will alway's enjoy making a nice mellow hiphop beat as you'll see in a few of my recent hardcore tracks. This year i've been invited back to the Blak Nite Krew both as a performer and board member for the whole 6 hour performance, selecting acts and so on. If you are an Adelaide resident i strongly suggest you make it next years going to be big, as the government has recently raised Car Clew Youth Arts allowed budget substantually we have made plans for a gigantic show.
Later in September i'll also be starting a sound technition course which is being payed and run by Car Clew Youth Arts.
Also i plan to master and gain a strong ability in the art of turntabilism. I've recently became quite an accomplished electronic music producer, but would love to be an established South Australian Hardcore Turntabilist. I love hiphop, it's were my heart lies, however since envolving myself in the rave scene there is nowhere else i'd rather be. To bring both Hiphop and Hardcore togeather will be my aim, i intend to have both lovers of old school hiphop loving my music, aswel as ravers. The respect given by the hiphop croud mixed with the love from the rave scene, a definate brood of people i'd love to be surrounded by in my life :)

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
*2005* August
F***s artists over
*Update* 2006 June
I'm going to have to say, without the ability to download certain acapella's and older songs i'm unable to purchase in stores without really looking and even then, an acapella on cd is quite hard these days, honestly the songs which are being downloaded on a mainstream bases are from artists which are either dead, have a severe chemical addiction or have gone in a positive direction and can afford to purchase nice shiney new sports car every other month. I've done a little research into it and an established artist makes less than 10% of their networth through record sales. Apart from local Australian groups which should be given a hand up, listening to illegally obtained mp3's is fine as long as your not downloading local art. The hoods are payed a larger % of record sales because their not on a constant tour, but even artists like Scribe, the New Zealand hiphop scene be it harder to succeed there than in Adelaide (Adelaide and Perth) artists are payed triple for alot less tallent, due to New Zealand's strong american influence, it's attracted US lables, which clearly pay alot more. Still aint nothing like a nice

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

*Update* 2006 June
Still over any hiphop label the Obese record label shall remain the only acceptable label
On the other hand, i wouldn't mind owning my own lable. We'll think about names when it comes to that ;)

Favorite spot?
*wish* To be up on stage along side rockin' the mic with H-Bomb, for all of my mates (this should be happening at munt fest this year after all it's my birthday ;)
The only place better than being on stage looking down to your friends cranking it, is being the friend cranking, take my word for it, being an MC is not all about lyrical precision, it's much like sex, if you don't work well with your DJ and croud, YOUR bi*** AINT GONNA COME AND BE PREPAIRED TO HAVE A MIC LEAD SMACK YA IN THE HEAD, however, you work well togeather, show the audience you care about them (it's not hard, most ravers think every1 loves them ;) prove your superiour in flow firstly and then bring in a knowledge of lyrical surrounding, and they'll be yours AND NEVER f***ING MC DURING BRAIN CRACKING DAMN YOU QUAMTUM!! HAHA

Equipment used:
*2005* August
a mic and my comp for recordin'
live performances mini disc player, speakers, sm58 buisiness standards you know the deal
*Update* 2006 June
I had everything there, however the minidisk player wasn't used as a recorder, i was just told it could be used as one, at current, i use
Acid Pro 4.0 for mixing/track production
Audacity 1.2.2 for sampling and editing samples to work in conjunction with Acid
I would use Sound Forge but i've become so accustomed to Audacity's simplicity and tho it has only very basic fx apart from reversing and up-down toning, i prefur not to have any fx in the music i creat produce due to a lack of authenticity.

The three L's to prove your love of hiphop
Listen to hiphop
Love hiphop
Live hiphop
Where are you?
*Update* 2006 June
Replace the word hiphop with music however i've been thinking quite philosophically latly and came to the conclution that if Old School hiphop had a physical form it would be an exceedingly daunting, however extreamly gental monk, he would be waring nothing but traditional, buddhist robes, and shall be waring glasses and he would appear infront of a black board and share amazing intelligence with children of all ages, sizes, religion, colours, being taugh of the message of peace, i'll never have anything but compleat tranquillity on the topic of hiphop, what ever is said negativly, never hurts, due to my cognative ability over all who do not see the truth. Once hiphop has finished it's teaching, all who truly understand shall proceed on the righteous where those who don't travel down the path of evil. The path which gangster rap is derived and then the teachings shall continue till one's soul has chosen the righteous path towards the obvious genious, which is only unlocked by the Old School, or petty thugery which is clearly all Gangster Rap is. I do enjoy jumping around to the odd Ganster Rap track, and damn i've got some excellent samples from them, but in the end i don't believe i could listen to G rap for longer than 10 minutes, as a musician, apart from just listening to the songs, i asses them. First the beat, a good mainstream beat which sounds good through a sub gets you paid, a good catchy chorus that 14yr olds can sing along to and a film clip that has more g-strings tittie's and ass than a late teen's net ball game gets you famous (eg. my hump my hump etc.)and a strong lyrical superiourity gets respect from artists, and lovers of the artform.
I've said it before, and i'll say it again
f*** MAINSTREAM!!
