Jay-Z Interview w/ DJ Semtex (11/5/10)

Hov reflects on the ’90s & early ’00s, remarks on the “producer day” trend, being surprised that MC Hammer took it the wrong way (“I said some really nice things about him in the book… he’s gonna be embarrassed,”) the balance between free vs. paid music, says that Watch The Throne no longer includes the previously-released G.O.O.D. Friday records and is now a full-length album, and more.

It’s like one of those Blueprint, College Dropout, change-the-face-of-music type good.

Shouts to Semtex.

Video: Sadat X Talks About The Crack Era

November 5th, 2010

So every Friday, Gasface is dropping these thisismyNYMinute supplements to their New York Minute mini-series. Last week it was Buckshot breaking down the end of Evil Dee’s rap career, and this week Sadat X regales us with tales from the days when crack cocaine ruled the streets of NYC (“yo when crack first came out? that was the greatest thing ever!”). He also speaks on Boy George, a hustler from the Bronx (Cormega name-checked him on “Glory Days”) who let Calvin Klein shoot a perfume commercial at his crib.
