The Next Noisemakers….
By pmd on Dec 17, 2008 in Hip Hop, Venues |
Who do you want to see? It’s really going to come down to a few factors–mostly whose music I love the most and who is interested, but I’m curious for your thoughts. It looks as if Round 2 will be going down at the 92 Y Tribeca in late January. Thoughts?!






q-tip, its so much u guys didn’t cover especially on the second juan ep hew was on!!! Much love though the primo shit was dope

The Alchemist? Just Blaze? does it have to be a producer?
Felix | Dec 17, 2008 | Reply
Damn, late January? I’ll prolly be back to class by then.
But I second Just Blaze, I’m sure he has some dope stories from the ROC era. He might be tough to get though. Anyone from Wu?

why not try some people like Prince Paul, Dante Ross, Easy Mo Bee… just my thoughts. heck get de la and recover that last hour from Juan Ep

A lot of people forget about the impact HiTek had on the whole new era of independent New York rappers. I think he would be extremely interesting to talk to since he kinda disappeared recently but still pops out a litle treat here and there. Beatminerz are top 3.

I also thought of just blaze.. You could definately nerd it up with him.

Someone Juan Epstein totally missed out on is Chuck D or someone from the Wu. Marley Marl or Rakim wouldnt be too bad either. But i think Questlove would be dope for a round 2, first of all he was friends and worked alot with J Dilla and hes interviews is always funny and interesting on a Juan Epstein level. The Roots is one of the only groups thats still doin it today. Heres a dope interview with Questlove by Nardwuar. Enjoy!

Yo Ghost + Rea would be dope, Mos + Talib, EPMD, Switch it up and do a duo! Red + Meth! Pete Rock.The names can go on + on!

Yeah, Pete Rock definitely seems the obvious choice, and for good reason. But someone mentioned Prince Paul, and I kicked myself for not thinking of it. That shit would be hilarious.
Elijah | Dec 17, 2008 | Reply
Pete Rock/Q-Tip.. or even better De La since we missed that Juan Ep..

Okay. I’ve read all of these comments and it seems as tho that people have left out a very important name that you should have for the next Noisemakers event…

Pete Rock, the Juan Ep interview was hella dope, I think PR in a live interview covering his catalog and industry stories would be dope!!

I would love for you to have Nice and Smooth. The made a lot of classics but I don’t know too much about them or Brand Nubian. Keep it ole school and funky.
Mike | Dec 17, 2008 | Reply
It’s gotsta be RZA.
With him, it’s not just going to be the music, it’s going to be a discussion of the entire Wu-Tang mythos.
This is a guy that produced not just individual hot songs, but entire classic records: 36 Chambers, Tical, Return to the 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Cuban Links, Ironman, Forever, Supreme Clientele.
This is a guy who was the svangali to some of the most celebrated MCs of all time: Method Man, Raekwon, GFK, ODB.
You could fill 5 interview sessions with nothing but stories from the RZA.

lets be serious. if u do anything less than preemo, ur just playing yourself and any future of NMers… I was at the joint…and it hit hard… U established a brand. Do Pete, and Move on to February.

buckwild would be dope, havoc (even though his interviews are awful)…q tip might be the most interesting though.
matt | Dec 18, 2008 | Reply
I definetley agree on Ghost and Rae that would’ve been dope as fuck. We already know so much about Pete Rock it would be better to have someone were unfamiliar with.

Dr. Dre. He should be easy to book lol.
You already interviewed Pete for the Juan Ep. I think a good choice in order would be Rza, Marley or Q-Tip.
sosa | Dec 20, 2008 | Reply
you should still do a juan ep with premo if you can, cuz there was so much stuff you didnt get to in noisemakers…
gozomo33 | Dec 20, 2008 | Reply

How about DJ Qbert or DJ Quik or Hank Shocklee.
