Laffy Taffy Rots Your Teeth

Or so I’ve heard. Two of the nicest new cats (coincidentally fam, so I might be a little biased) from Cali, Free Speech and Ro Blvd, dropped this dope (FREE) project a little while back. I know some people get all mad when anyone disses commercial rap but let’s be real here, “Laffy Taffy” and the whole snap movement are wack. I’ve defended Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon and the like, but I can’t find anything redeeming in snap music. That’s not the point though, this project is dope, check the cover below for proof. Also, if you’re one of the many people that keep coming up to me at my club nights when I play the real dope “Kick, Push” remix, it’s on here too, that’s Ro’s.

Large Professor talks to DJ Low Key (from Fall 2005)…”[Me & Nas] definitely recorded a lot more than the people have heard…We maybe had album…A good 8-10 cuts.”…

Large_Professor_And_Nas

Here’s an extended version of the Large Pro interview I did for Basementalism radio last Fall. Other than him dropping the 12″ he was plugging, not a lot has changed since then. LP talks about everything from linkin up with Paul C to his unreleased album, The LP, to workin with Nas on Illmatic (“We definitely recorded a lot more than the people have heard…We maybe had album, before anything. A good 8-10 cuts.”) to hookin up Pete Rock with the sample for “T.R.O.Y.” and a whole lot more. Dude has stories for days and has had one of the most interesting careers in hip hop, so download/stream this interview and get schooled by the Professor.
