Conceptually, Mr. Morale is a classic in my book.
oh im just generally a music history nerd. paul c fascinated me as soon as i learned about him (pharoahe monch is one of my favorite emcees so i was reading about him and found paul mckasty from the S2P days) and his murder really fukked me up! but he seemed to train a militia of soldiers on that sp-12 - didnt he teacherick sermonlarge professor? online i saw gossip saying his wife was involved with his death over money but hell, who knows?
stories like that fascinate me. the 'what could have been' stories. but i will say, what paul c could've been makes me sad as hell.
terminator x is still out there somewhere, too. probably raising some goofy ass llamas in north carolina. i mean if thats his dream, FINE. but he deprived the world of his talent!
stuff like this is what i read
Props.

Old To The New Q&A – Mikey D (Part One)
In the world of Hip-Hop there are those who boastfully make misguided claims of legendary status and those who have legendary status bestowed upon them by fans and peers due to their talent and con…oldtothenew.wordpress.com
MEMORIES OF PAUL C McKASTY
This is by all means not the definitive documentary or story of Paul C McKasty. The Legendary producer from Queens NYC who had his life cut short aged only 24 years old. This is a film put togeth…prittkalsi.com
@Art Barr these are the best links i can dig up on Paul C. i know you already know who he was, but for others, he mentored large professor on the sp-12 and sp-1200. im pretty sure he still has his floppy disks to this day! and his work with ultramagnetic, latifah, s2p (soon to be organized konfusion). man i wonder what kinda records woulda came out if paul c lived. i love the organized konfusion trilogy (pharoahe stays in my top 10 to this day)
but the track where he sampled rahzel without telling him was sick as hell! from what i read, paul c had rahzel beatbox into a mic for the sampler and basically recorded his bass notes and then replayed it himself to the 'brick house' melody. and its tight as hell lol. released in 87 so likely recorded in 86. its kinda wild to think shyt like this came out before criminal minded!
anyways sorry for the rant. i love 70s and 80s hiphop and i devour everything i can read about it.
im just a music fan manGlad you are around.
to do good work here...
Any extra information on people who were dope is always a bonus to me.
Props on the supplemental paul c information.
As usually. It just leads in one direction.
props for that.
Preciate it handshake.

lol i know you dont like quik but you oughta give him another chance. hes a legit musician and hes good!I wish everyone applied themselves to really rap better but they don't.
Being who i am.
I am not ever giving passes.
I am the protege of the best cali emcee ever tho.
Plus the goat emcee frfr.
So it is not like i am ever speaking out of turn.
Rap would not be a commercial draw. If not for the pedigree from where i come from.
Plus i am actualized in a grassroots level in every possible way.
Not being malicipus. Just discussing the facts, culture and skill level outputs.

im just a music fan man
if theyre dope theyre dope. my music collection goes from autechre to zappa, frank
im pretty open to ANYTHING in music.. the only things that really offend me is shyt like 'bro country' and taylor swift style pop
even electronic music is kinda disappointing these days. i do like richard james when he pops out on occasion but i miss guys like trent reznor. this economy practically demands a new NIN or ministry album lol
meanwhile
lol i know you dont like quik but you oughta give him another chance. hes a legit musician and hes good!
maybe hes not your thing and thats cool. thats how i feel about joe budden LOL
anyways.. ill link this. i hope you give him another chance. i think hes amazing
right on man i like trent too. his ghost series was amazing. i grew up in the 90s on a steady diet of punk rock, industrial, glitch, and hiphop.Supppsed yo be a new nin score album for some movie coming out soon.
I forgot what movie ad i saw. That actually mentioned new music by nin on the ad.
So new nin is coming out.
Nin = my favorite industrial band. Sheit imo trent is the only industrial band.
Trent is my favorite rock producer easy. I just honestly loathe those johnny cash covers. They are horrible. Ranging from off beat and out of pocket tp juat horrifically bad. I know why they are a drae. Just wish they were not a draw.
Or some studio manager on quality would make cash work with higher quality.
Past that. I listen to any nin i csn get my hands on. I even got the old school small disc album Formats of broken and fixed.

one thing i always wondered... why isnt math rap a thing? y'know how most rock songs are in 3/4, 4/4 time? post punk and indie bands started recording songs in weird time signatures like 5/4 7/4 11/8 and so on. its what became known as 'progressive rock'
if i could wish something into existence it would be progressive rap! imagine emcees working on their bars so they can spit in 5 and 7! that sounds sick as hell lol.
i would like to see your top 10 if you got one @Art Barr
i do top 10s of emcees, then top 10s of album emcees and so on. but im a weirdo that sits here thinking about this shyt for hours haha. i know aceyalone has a few songs in 6/8 and el-p did one song in 5/4. mazbou q might be one of the few cats ive found out there trying stuff out with new math.. i wonder what you think of stuff like this art
i think if rap broke out of 4/4 and 6/8 we could see some incredible records.
the thing is theres no such thing as a 12th note so i might wanna watch it again idk
