You Got Spotify? Link Up With Me! →

I have no clue what we could do afterwards, but the good news is I have interesting playlists and taste in music (if you haven’t peeped that already) *shrugs*

Excerpt of My Nicolay Interview from Frank151

Me: The best thing about what I do is... 
Nicolay: ...doing everything on our own terms and building our own industry.
Me: And the worst part is... 
Nicolay: ...doing everything else means you’ll end up working too hard. You can’t just call in sick with this, so we gotta have the ability to keep going all the time.
Me: The most addictive thing in my life right now is...
Nicolay: ...Counter Culture coffee!
Me: More people should know that...
Nicolay: ...do not mistake my kindness for weakness. I can be a very nice guy, but come at me wrong and it's a problem!
Me: I always notice when...
Nicolay: ...when I’m on the road, finding as much comfort as possible. Good food, good sleep - no, great sleep - and great hotels...

Get to know J-Live (What Didn't Make It)

J-Live: You got me right when I was about to get my Instagram on with this record I found.
Me: Haha, oh, have you seen the AT&T commercial where two guys were tailgating, had their iPads out tweeting and on Facebook, beating everybody to what was going on at that time. Someone would run to them screaming about the mascot being stolen, and they already twitpic’d the scene and went “oh, that was so 56 seconds ago!”
J-Live: No, I need to check that out. It seems like everybody knows about technology and the ways, the language too. My mom knows about LOL now!
Me: Yeah, I was just talking to my sister this morning about how kids will use acronyms to cuss now. Like if they wanna say “oh, that’s badass,” they’ll say “that’s so BA,” or if they wanna say punk-ass they’ll say PA.
J-Live: Oh, really? This is all new to me so I gotta watch out! I hear them say that, I’ll say “what you call me? I know what that means!” Those could be fighting words. When I was teaching in Brownsville, they used “ABG” for “anybody could get it.”
Me: Oh yeah, fighting words for real!
J-Live: It tripped me out because one of the older gods I knew went by ABG. When I heard kids shouting ABG, at first I was like “yall know ABG? Oh, that’s not it.”
Me: Haha, completely wrong acronym right there. But to get back on track...

Denouement (TiRon, Ayomari and Dream Hampton)

I wanted to use just a piece of this interlude to quote it, but gosh, the whole thing is worth posting! Dream Hampton, along with TiRon and Ayomari of course, made A Sucker for Pumps really speak to me in a way that no other album has done this year. Best of 2011? A strong consideration… Romantic love is always inconveniently self announcing, despite of its unwilling...

What Didn't Make It: Phife Dawg on ATL and Current...

Me (Starletta Watson. So credit me for this interview, dammit!): I see you stay in Atlanta all the time, and show mad love for the ATL, how do you feel about being part of the One MusicFest in terms of the Atlanta acts that have hit the stage?
Phife: It's good. I moved down here back in 1993, then moved to the Bay Area and got married in 04/05. So coming back and seeing the growth of these artists because I remember when they first started, and was grinding really, really hard, it's really appealing to see them come up from nothing.
Me: So how do you feel about the city's scene now currently?
Phife: I'm loving the ATL right now. The ATL has always been slept on, music-wise, other then like when they had the Xscape's, the Outkast's, the T.I.'s and Luda's. But it's still slept on and it's just getting bigger and broader. The underground scene and everything is coming together.
Me: Yeah, so I wanna ask you about the new people in hiphop. You got cats blowing up like Odd Future and Lil' B, and I just wanna know your opinion on it as we are sitting here in this old school-type vibe.
Phife: Look, I'm so old school, I haven't even heard a lot of the new stuff. I'm still at home playing Chic and The Isley's on vinyl, the Sylvers, finding the hooks that I want.
Me: YES!!! Sorry.
Phife: I heard a lot of good things about Lil' B's new project. J Cole is dope, Diggy Simmons - I'm looking forward to that. There's a whole bunch of dudes I've heard of, but haven't listened to yet...

Elevate: Art Above Underground | Frank151 Atlanta... →

Went to the Underground for the first time in “I don’t know how long” to check out the City of Atlanta’s collaboration with some of Atlanta’s urban art collectives. Saw some really cool stuff, saw some really weird stuff, and learned that this city just might care about its street art!
