“Out Da Box TV” – DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles (Part 1) “Did radio kill NY Hip Hop?” Thursday 26 July, 2012

premiere

DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles speak to Out Da Box TV on the state of hip hop today and how radio helped kill NY hip hop. I found this interview on ClassicHipHop.tumblr. The amount of knowledge dropped here is immense. This is the top Youtube comment, “Good shit right here! I agree with these brothers 100%. Shit, funny thing is the best artist and producers are all over 35 and are still big in da game…And they just so happen to be the richest. (Hov, Em, Dre, Nas, Timbaland, 50, Puff, Ross, Kanye, Pharrell, Snoop, Andre 3000..etc.) they understand what quality hip hop is and that will never die! Like it or not, these cats still sell records, sell out shows and produce relevant records. Premo is still sought out by big budget artist as well. – DimeCultztv”

A great interview, part two of which is coming next week.

“Out Da Box TV is proud to bring you a special new episode featuring the Legendary Hip Hop producer “DJ Premier” and Veteran NY Emcee “Bumpy Knuckles”. We got a chance to chat with the two recently at Premier’s NY music studio. They took the time to speak to us on a number of enlightening topics, with regards to the current state of Hip Hop and helping to progress the culture forward. Among other topics Bumpy and Premier also took a moment to talk about the origins of NY Hip Hop and the reasoning behind how it has lost its identity over the years. This interview is just part 1 of a truly in-depth 2 part series, that will be sure to follow in the same vein as this insightful piece. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week, where Preemo and Bumpy will speak further on the impact of their music careers in helping to push hip hop music/culture forward. In the meantime, please take the time to enjoy Part 1 and also feel free to pick up Premier and Bumpy’s new collabo album entitled “Kolexxxion” which is available in stores now.”
