Sorry If I've Been Absent

Posted on Sep 9th, 2008

I’ve been attending mastering sessions for the Kid Sister album in London… but somehow finishing songs at the same time. We had 3 different engineers mix one song once the mastering had already started. Kinda crazy. Anyway, been consumed by this Dream Date CD, as evidenced by my beard.

One song left to master! (That one.)
It’s late. Back to work.
Bye.
Oh and this album is nuts.

Name That Sample: So Exciting

One of the questions I get asked most often on MySpace, aside from “how old are you now?” and “are you REALLY the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?” is the name of this particular song.

You wanna know? I’ll tell you who it is…. after the jump! (Ooooh snap!) Read More

Literally.

This video was sent to me by my buddy Jon Goldstein who’s one of Kanye’s light designers. That’s no small feat… For a long time Kanye’s LDs were like Spinal Tap drummers. He’d go through them like it ain’t no thang. But I digress. Remember my blog about Nigeria? Here’s an airport moment.
