What Do Shingles Look Like In The Hair

Franky Montana - Interview (Part 2)

The rest of the series What's the flavor? from # 26 to # 49, alternating taps and slaps U.S. r'n'b embellished Fresstyle unpublished French ...

One thing is sure, we liked all the guys who came to ask us! I contacted him directly and sometimes I save them all alone. So there was the guy who asked about our series bearing the image of dj Poska without ever seeing it (laughs). We tried to vary the style of rap, on the # 33 for example, you could find Mo'Vez Lang on one side and the Army of the 12 on the other side ... The Surety, they were known via Katrofazz if I recall, Tekilatex but I knew I had not seen rapping, I do not know it was him with that damn high pitched voice, was first mentioned when he put together behind the mike j ' I hallucinated (laughs) Big Bar laughter in the studio ... it takes some guys like that, if everyone looks like Rohff Booba or it is useless ...

We tried our steps not to invite each time the same guy ... Well after you cheated with Disiz (laughs), it did pose with Rhymer Gages on # 25, once alone in the N 28, once with the Fuck Dat on # 36 ... I'm serious Eloquence, I was convinced that pierce one day but what do you want ... that's life ...

Basically we brought:
-Those who had been unable to get forward as The Click for # 25, but it was a matter of timing, you could not wait 10 pins for the people .. . As we do not want to double-k7 and we arrived 90 minutes from her, he had to break the project ... It was said that in any case they would have later on # 33 then .

-Those who enjoyed a good buzz like ATK (on the French Touch Freestyle #) after their album Heptagon, we really wanted to raise them higher still buzz ... The flow of Cyanide really impressed me at the time!

-Those we met in our province during evenings as Prodigy Namor, Kroniker, Kamnouze, Al & Adil, Scenario or Karkan. Our aim was also to show that it did not move at Panam.

-Those who contacted us directly as Rapidshare Aix-en-Provence and were really not bad

There was even textual harassment on the # 48 Harlem with "the Pop Idol"

Harlem I knew him when he was young, I can not remember his first blaze but it was doing freestyles in my store at Les Halles! It was a kid back then! I just a guy hip hop, it will fuck the Pop Idol machine ... textual harassment was produced by Logilo with whom one was working on the radio so it was normal to invite them too. At that time we hosted a program Whats' the Flavor? Generations on so we crossed all the guys who came to their promotion and before leaving they offered to re-capture a freestyle in the studio ...


How did you get to 88.2?

We asked them (laughs) ... nan I know how it happened. It would sound from time to time on radio because we knew Aligre dj Rappattack, a guy like Dee Nasty, a pioneer. We listened and we kiffa Original Bombattak issuance of Mark and was one of the few radio stations where they could settle. At the time the legendary freestyles Time Bomb, it was going to a hospital in Ivry (94), Generations was originally a radio in a hospital for old ... after there was an issue of fear and history has become what it became ...

We started our program What's the flavor? with Poska and Kost, they passed quietly sound. It was broadcast on Panam but when you read the polls in magazines, on the question of style "it is your show of French rap preferred "all the time they reached the top 5 with Cut Killer, Sky BOSS Covers Fire ... It was a big buzz, everyone wanted to come home, the show was deadly, it was really pure bomb! was also released a mixtape "The radio show vol.1 ON AIR" in 2001 with freestyles recorded during our show.

(I cut) but you do not put the best on it! ! I recorded on my K7, two freestyles Dicidens cults and Apotheosis in 2000!

But I have all these freestyles! They are on DAT and there are plenty of others .. . We stopped the show because at the time there were internal problems within the radio and our evolution we had said we should look elsewhere.


You obviously did ask the guy on your team, Endo, Smoker, Remo Williams, John Gali (former Mafia Underground with Sté Strauz, The Littles, Don and David Silver Bordey)

Endo. .. one of the best rappers I have worked in my life ... and I've seen it ... I am and I'll always be a fan of Endomageur. It was part of Gland'Band Rocé and guys with the Committee 2 braillers and braille (editor's note the exact components supplied by Vestat, CIMER again for the info: Vestat, Endo, Don Romano, Rocé, fatal & Sword Committee, Dice, The infamous, dj & dj Leusse MB). Then I broke down on its Basic Group in 1998 with the EP "From Jungle to Jungle" and the album "98 till infinity", then as they do with Niro bumps more, they proposed work together and you basically had released an EP of Basic, but ultimately we ended up doing more solo pieces that Endo Basic ... We saw they were about the same wavelength with Vestat, he put forth over the same speed so we decided to break away with Endo yesteryear without saying that it was over ... With Basic Endo I'm all maxis, I was director, manager, was really my guy and unfortunately the only regret is that it does not all just farted! It was a street-CD best-of "with news, there was no album, but there were few kilos and kilos of securities ... We canvassed all the record companies because that it did not go out and sell some independent skeud he wanted maximum exposure, he could make big single while remaining credible.

Besides, I've always wondered why a song like the album Spice GB Basic did not break the house down ...

They Hit Machine with K-Reen at the time yet ... What do you want, it's the public who decides ... We tried to edit a team with our guys ... but none has pierced It was the boss in producing mixtapes, we realized a lot of compilation, but it was not recognized as a label in the first sense that develops artists. Besides the guy you quoted me, had nearly produced MASS also, I had proposed to join us before things becoming official with the BOSS .. Really Marcial kiff 'em! His last street-cd was cool (fundamentalists Yeah Yeah style in 2004) but the public does not hang ...


Returning to the achievement of compilations, after What's the flavor in 1998, Homecore in 1999:

HOMECORE was a mark of saps hip hop made by STEPH a pioneer of the graffiti that was part of the COP with Joey Starr and MOE at first he made a series of t-shirts he sold at the markets it intends to develop its brand and it has been necessary to release a compilation with him and his guys because we share a brand kiffa, two were had been sponsor and three they had produced the first single from Busta Flex "Kick with my Nike" So they had already invested in the music. They wanted to discover new talents, or even start a label, but eventually they saw that music was not really their delirium and remained in the mine. We did this in a big studio, produced entirely by us musically, we brought our friends (MASS & Reske-P, Basic, Disiz etc ...) and heads fresh as Triptik Buzz Eastwood and his squad 357 , a pal of Reda DJ James Laadjah Akt [ed] Fraz, etc. ...

a chick ... and also ...

(tit for tat) Julia Chanel! She was in high school with me and Tecnik. She was "dummy" for all advertising campaigns and brand Homecore we wanted to invite him on the project, it was thought shifted to a title a little dancefloor with a DJ's voice shouting American "Say Sex" with cries of Julia and more and that was it ... In the studio was cool ... the sound engineers were panicking because they saw his performance film, which was not my case! In short it was just a delusion in the midst of compiling a report.

passes to a special Halls in 2000:

The concept was to mix the compilation Hostile catalog and make a pinch of including unreleased remix of "Hang the" X -Men that we had achieved. The advertisement also included the infamous "Sensation brave "by Rohff produced by Kilomaîtres.


The soundtrack of the movie Old School the same year:

It was really behind the project, we had to do the soundtrack over the entire soundtrack film Poska was friends with one of two directors of the film we had seen the rushes, there had to shoot after you can not say that the soundtrack is really inspired by the movie either ... but brief Joey Starr and Kool Shen played in the movie and Joey wanted to deal more music of the film, it has been ousted from that job because it weighed more than to have the name of Joey Starr in the credits as we at This time people were still "developing" more or less cons ... For we have left to the soundtrack while Joey Starr and his team were responsible interludes.

The song from the soundtrack that you remember:

(without hesitation) "On the boulevards of" X-Men, which I kiffa severe G Hill .... It was more a culmination of have these guys on a project larger than mixtapes.

And the fact with Diam's Taff at the time:

was a little sister, we had already made freestyles with her to mixtapes (fundamentalists # French Touch Freestyle) has asked then what's the flavor 2 ... Today she continues her path and I'm happy for her, she continues to do what she loves!


What's the flavor just 2 in 2001

Released by EMI, in major, I am happy with this compilation, we made headlines. There was Triptik on the first track of compilation, they released the draft in 1998 which was passed entirely through sales level, but I'll always remember their video with a big 4x4, I farted a cable, they were very strong, Dabaaz is a huge rapper and I was really happy to get in touch with them, we became great friends, they were always at our radio show, etc. ...

The lead track of compilation was Sniper / Diam 's "I do not like" but we have been boycotted by Skyrock because they do not want to put ourselves forward, Poska was not a DJ so we stamped Skyrock had no titles in playlist, let alone Planet Rap but hey, that's life ... It worked well anyway, it was better made than the first, and most of the best benefits we worked with the artists we wanted, we got fun is the goal music!!


A word on the cover:

At the photo is Wile-e, a dude we met us at the time with the D. Abuz when we were kids. He took pictures for Groove among others. We cut a fridge to take the picture inside, it was magical (laughs) the idea of associating "it is the flavor?" With the fridge, it came during the recording of the compiles, a period when it was very cold! After Poska should give us a head diksa (laughs) ... there was a lot of fun! And for info on the first compilation What's the flavor it was Armen which made the pictures, since he made pouches, Booba and videos with lots of other things ...


the end is coming soon!! second interview in the wake!!

Promo's For Pacific Science Center

Franky Montana (Funky Maestro) - Interview DJ Poska

Friday, October 23, 2009 - Paris 20eme - Franky Montana receives me in the local Generations 88.2, a week after he crossed the first time during the recording of the program devoted to Pascal Cefran Belgian rapper Scylla (the collective OPAK) who had presented his first solo maxi Immersion (still available on justlikehiphop ). After fifteen minutes spent at Paris Saint Germain (he proudly wears the colors), the Virage Auteuil and Lutece Falco, we're off for 2 hours of discussion ... Hip Hop another passion ...

[first interview of my "career", the first question lol]

MacroPolo: we will start from the beginning, causing the blaze, Franky Montana, it comes from Tony Montana, we agree .. .

Oh no ... not at all! (Laughs) My name is Franck, since I was a kid all people call me Franky Montana and in fact it relates to my past, I have done for at least 8 years of graffiti and Montana is a trademark of bomb which I used. I also use other bombs like color spray or Sparvar j'me but saw no call me Franky Spraycolor ... I had a second nickname Bikiz in fact it was my tag KIZ, when we were kids we put B behind B-Boy and j'te talking about that it was between 1985 and 1990, all my friends called me in slang, and it gave B-Kiz and that's why the name stuck and Montana 's came after the first mixtape we will say between 1995 and 1998. There are some who call me Frank White as the King of New York (fundamentalists Christopher Walker in The King of New York, 1990) a film I often Kiff and I, being young in hip hop , was the only "white" nigga surrounded at parties, concerts, etc. ... and if you watch the movie Frank White is the only white band and it's head (laughs)

First contact with the Hip Hop

Like everyone of my generation is HIPHOP in 1984, you watched the show and then you find yourself with other guys outside trying to break on a piece of cardboard on a carpet ... I personally did not dance but i like everything ambience, music, sound a little electro-funk, early smurf what and I was really there in this universe, all the time with breakers but it was never my delusion and it still is not (laughs) . A little later, I tagged the first time in 1986, we can say that the first real thing that got me interested in Hip Hop was graffiti.

on vacant lots?

Nan, in the street, me my delusions, which I enjoyed with graffiti, vandalism was not even, because it was based micro society, there was not much we "know all". I tagged in my corner on 93 but also in places like Stalingrad cults, I went to la Villette in Garibaldi, Convention where there was a kind of wasteland behind an art school and later there had big spots everywhere because they work and they were smashing buildings and it turned into a wasteland as Voltaire, for example. But my delusion was the street, I was beating balls on buses, subways, trains, RER, was really beside their name, as in rap, it was the delirium competition that I enjoyed most in hip hop, it was he who made the most, best, etc. ... the tag was really my delirium, I saw at the time the first graffiti arrived in Paris with SQUAT, SIGN, BOXER, BANDO, BBC (SKKI, JAY, ASH), JONONE, MOE, MODE 2, COLTER, STEPH, MUCK, Lokiss ...

Your meeting with Tecnik and Poska

So the friend we've known each Tecnik pfff ... we had 7 / 8 years, we were in the same football club, we lived not far especially one another, we had friends in common and after it was to high school together.

Poska And I remember how we met but it was in the delirium of graffiti in fact, he lived at the base in Noisy-le-grand and I'd just Neuilly-Plaisance right side, through the graffiti has become one buddy. One has to know to start 90 and the first mixtape in 1994 it was the tag, do stuff for young, etc. ... And him at the music he touched the decks, we wanted to be with Tecnik s' fun rapping and the basic composition of our group LYR-X is coming fast enough.

you was producing sounds for the group?

No, it was used nothing to increase the caps, Tecnik at the base was a training Zikos he played drums while I do not know how many years ... for me it is one of the best programmers in France that ever existed, I'll frankly, when he Samplit him something he always found the good rhythm, good sounds to use with the drum machine and everything ... and Poska already produced at the time.

So basically the beginnings in the music, you're young, you gets off the zik, you want to try your hand at rap, turntables strength is drunk and then buy you a sampler here .

Your influences at the time, your motivation?

My primary motivation to make mix-tapes was that when we were little between 1983 and 1988 in the suburbs, cassettes were circulating in all directions ... when someone had a tape with deadly discs found right and left when the tape was duplicated throughout the city ... the tapes emissions Dee Nasty on Radio Nova was also copied to all the senses ... was that the 1st mix-tapes .... Those of DEE NASTY, his radio show (laughs) So then, even if our steps were paying, I felt to perpetuate this atmosphere.

kid I was fortunate to find myself down the stairs of Radio Nova, it should be between 1986 and 1988, I remember the day I went there was Ministère AMER who rapped but there were so many people who rapped you could not even have access to the studio or even the corridor that would limit it to the studio ... if I not that the stairs ... one taggant on the stairs ... frankly if they could retrieve the brick stairs to Radio Nova era ... it was heavy, everyone had tagged the above ...

At the first influences I would say EPMD, Rakim, the stuff that really pushed you discover an interest in rapping, Eric B., the stuff of sermons, perhaps the first Gangstarr, it was early 90 this.

can record the group's inception Lyr-X when?

Anyway LYR-X had a short life, first in 1994's "The Nightmare (French rap)" on the mixtape What 's the flavor No 2 early exit 95, it was really fun to delirium, we basically listened French rap, there was stuff that made us as kiffer Ministère AMER, NTM, Assassin, Johnny Go and Destroy Man, Lionel D, the Littles, IAM, every 1st French rap stuff was good and after there was a wave when we said "there are plenty of guys who try their hand" and we laugh for we thought we would try to do our ketru. Delirium "the nightmare of French rap" it was more boastful delirium of shit when we took himself too seriously. We made a demo k7 with 5 or 6 pieces (a feat K-Reen)

not even for sale just to have a little knowledge, we have output at exactly the same time as the first What's the mixtape flavor in September 1994, just after the summer.

At the time I was working in a record store mythical Châtelet LTD 1994 to 1998, it was there that it retailed, there were also Tikaret at Stalingrad where it brought our k7 and another store at Les Halles and I remember the name and who sold saps and k7, the first mixtapes, but it was really where LTD was centralized most of sales of mixtapes and the beginning of the French rap vinyl by cons in figure I could not tell you ... but if we had the wind 500 cassettes was sure we would have done.

And there was already a public mixtape at the time?

soon emerged that what was going live ... Cut Killer was the 1 st to do a mixtape, it was perhaps more fortunate than us going to the States United and when he came back, I can not remember who he used for reference but it should be remembered Mister Cee, Tony Touch, Evil D, DJ Premier, is really the first guy who made tapes I think

mixtapes These first American arrived in Panama in stores that you quoted me?

Nah, the guys who went there brought back and we made copies but K7 Cut Killer was the first to make mixtapes in France and when he released his 3rd mixtape ever in 1994, we were out ours and I think Clyde was also his first at this time. Anyway the first 3 to be released in stages was Cut Killer, Clyde and Poska. But for the record, we had the "plan" to exit the screen printed with our first mixtape blaze on the tape, and all ... célophanée The first 3 cassettes Cut Killer was still handmade, the type cassette TDK, he copied and recopied.

level of blazes :

LYR-X: The X-anonymity because at first they would not show our mouths and the word lyrics that means words

Funky Maestro : Funky gets off because we always Soul and Funk, and that first we wanted to compose music was a bit in this delirium is

What's the flavor? : It was I who found it in a magazine The Source is the name of a single by Young MC and there was an ad in the magazine marked with a "What's The Flavor? "And I figured it was said deadly because when you go out of mixtapes is like when you go out of monthly magazines, it should present what is currently the flavor of the moment, therefore," What is the flavor of the moment? "I thought the name was funny.

To fill the mixtapes, how you provide you with vinyl?

LTD, I was working so it was easy, I had a number of disc offered a month since I was employed there and also if ever there were records I'm not buying it or was not present, I could take what I wanted ... ALTHOUGH it happens at all ... I

Hence the 11 mixtapes out in 1995 ...

I really wanted to do as I if it were a magazine and as I was in the store was easy for me to manage inventory and to impose these steps, then there was the talent that was behind Poska So what happens when we sell we did not care a rap not the mouths of people ...

1-one had the sound, really all Songs of the moment

2 - mixed by DJ
good

3 - good advice since I was salesman in the shop, listening to the sounds all day, I knew myself ...

You select sounds to put on the tapes?

actually work brand What 's the flavor? whether on or mix-tape compilation has been done by 3 people, it was Poska was highlighted because it was our choice and that anonymity was something that made us with kiffer Tecnik, and as it was Poska that mixed it was his job, but the selection, the tracklisting every time we have made together after recess as I worked hard in the shop I was involved a little more selection and of course knew what to Poska after which it was the DJ,

normal

About the # 15 exit in 1996 is indeed a special French rap?

if anyone has the front of the cover: thank you macropolonais@msn.com

The # 15 was the first mixed tape with only French rap ... that vinyl out in trade, which had gets off with a mixture of guys old school and new school with few X-Men, The clicked, etc. ... there was no vinyl EAST, so we recovered a freestyle tribute to him and because kiffa this rapper.

trips to the states to bring back vinyl?

No, the first time I went to the states it was about 97/98

In fact there are pictures on the covers of # 28 and # 29 where we see Poska on a rooftop in New York right?

Nan is in Paris on the roof of a building in the 13th (laughs). And in any case the first time I went back to the States I do not record because eventually everything came here. We, for example, LTD is working with a U.S. supplier and it was hard with perhaps a week of maximum deviation. It was really a landmark hip hop throughout Europe, you had guys who came from Germany, Belgium, Switzerland or I do not know where, they knew the landmark in Panama, was the district LTD halls and it was already the little shop where everybody came to say hello ... etc. We sell vinyl, mixtapes and dj accessories (felt, cell, bag for carrying vinyl, mixer and certainly does shirt, stuff like that). I puff in the store from 1994 to 1998 and the store closed in 1998 on booming rap my French ... version is that the bosses do not have anything to do hip hop, they did it for business and they wanted to move out of Panam, so they missed the right train and it's Urban Music, which took over ... all the people who did not know where to go, went to Urban ...

Between the DJs how it was at the time ? A family? There was a competition between you?

A yes and no family, along with hip hop is always the spirit of competition. There was Cut Killer who was better known because he did a lot of nights so he had his audience, then we tried not to put themselves on the mixtapes, there is also the delirium of the pouch, it was it is more beautiful, etc. ...

And at the duplication of mixtapes and the evolution of sales:

We started small and is mounted and then down again, the record is the # 25, it had made in limited series, there was demand so we have emerged over the CD version much later, one would have any cardboard to sell ... pounds and kilos (pause) we could have won more than Thune (laughs), but the fact that it remains in the French hip hop a mythical object somewhere it was good, it has created the scarcity and collector side.

A word about Market mixtapes at the time, something completely illegal ...

was hip hop! The concept comes from the United States, the groups used it as a promotional tool, the guys gave their records to DJ's for him to put on their k7 because it allowed to convey their sound because at the time it There were not many radio stations playing this kind of music so for groups up to be broadcast, providing titles excluded for djs in AC created buzz.

In France, the songs they put on the mixtapes at the time was not passing stuff on the radio, not even coming out in France large scale or in CD format. Channel Live For example I do not think they released a record other than imports, Flatlinerz, Brand Nubian, Nine it was importing each time so whatever happens it did not hurt the record industry and that's why there was never anything, never had any stories etc. ..

The studio The House

It was called like that because we have always been in a room ... Like any kid, we lived with our parents, it was early in Poska, and then finally home from Tecnik moi.Quand parents arrived at saturation we moved all the gear. When we started out early mixtapes and get a little sorrel, it was possible to take a small place and buy in as and when the gear, Tecnik was a bit of our machines and first aim was to make his home, to be independent.

Funky Maestro logo

The logo is a maestro guiding an orchestra simply, it's Jay One of the BBC, which we did, I was a big fan of him (and still am) when I was little, I met him one day in the markets, he accepted me and made 10 drawings in one week, I farted a cable on a drawing, it took me a misery, and I thank him enough ...

Structurally, Lyr-X Records, Phunky Maestro Flavor Production ...

Lyr-X Records has never existed, it was really structured when released our first compilation from Universal in April 98

Exactly, talking about the legendary music / clash Oxmo Puccino vs Zoxea (Sages Po ') which was to be on this compilation:

Then I'll explain the real story, there were 15,000 CDs have been manufactured and were broken with this title. It was this piece, it was that we wanted to highlight, it was a novel, it had produced the sound, made the recordings etc ... and 2 weeks before the release of skeud, the record label Universal received a registered letter signed by the hand and Kool Shen former artistic director of Warner who owned the rights to artistic Zoxea clearly saying "we do not want to appear on this project Zoxea"

And at the recording session of this piece:

It was deadly! The guys were all on their side, they wrote each other during that arose, they took the valves in the mouth and after they met ... it was legendary because qu'Oxmo is not someone who does what kind of thing, Zoxea yes, we have seen thereafter. And then it was our guys Oxmo, Poska was already a moment for him and for Pit Bacardi. Time Bomb Kessey, March is already friends, we knew for a very long time ... so here's what title did not exist on the final compilation, but it had played in any radio potato, he had been given to everyone, we did exist and some time after it was re-exist on the tape in 1999 "French touch freestyle as" unreleased bonus track ... "( ed. Remixing is also available on the project all starz Funky Maestro released in 2006) we were not to break the balls with the mixtape but somehow we did not care, it would perhaps have done nothing, any way Kool Shen we knew after we met, we talked about it and then here.

To return to the project itself was leaving his Cut Killer Hip Hop Soul Party at Universal, I working in the middle of the disc so I was aware that he had moved to go so instead Sony, Universal was "free", I tried to reach the people concerned and happy coincidence, these people were trying to reach us also, they knew our mixtapes. For the record the artistic director who made us sign over there was in a party where mixaient Cut Killer and Poska and it seems that night Poska was super fit ... the guy is tilted and made the compilation.

And there is "jackpot"?

Nan, when you do compilations, unless you sell wholesale pounds ... just because you're the director, the titles do not belong to you. Even if our choice of songs, in fact it is with what we left. We made a list of 100 songs for a compilation of 20 tracks for example. On the 100 you got 80 rejection and hoped that the 20 agreements that either debt that you kiffer fatal. At the time you would get faxes that you had to sign was marked on the piece was to compile the 3min30, we had our shenanigans, but it should not be a scratch on the tracks, not Password -pass, you could not change the speed ... it Fuck the dj taf but record companies or managers in the states they would beat the balls ... but I am satisfied with the deadly compiles it was, everything was done to The studio room as for mixtapes but now it's coming out on CD with more means of communication . E No more new titles, was that some friends ... Another regret, however, in the same style as the clash vs. Oxmo Zoxea, the piece of Lyr-X "miscellaneous" with 2 Bal feat in, has was first recorded with Busta Flex but two months before the release of the compilation he called us saying that the title was not workable, her record label did not want it to appear in a feat before the release of his first album, suddenly it was remade with the 2 ball, which were already present on the compilation with a song Afrodiziak.

Let's go to mixtapes with just 2 Bal who open the series on French rap freestyle unpublished.

on number 20, yes, it was some friends of Chelsea in 77, they really lived not far away, we love them. And on that same tape there was Soul Swing I met at the store, their 2 dj's and Majestic Rebel came to buy sound and we became friends, J'kiffais Soul Swing, I had seen in Rapline to period with a combo base Rage Faf / Def Bond, the king was still K'rhyme backeur or dancer, I do not know, and we brought them back into the studio to kick a freestyle.

A word on the k7 exclusively rnB, # 22, for example

We kiffa it is seen that the base is loved Soul and Funk, whose r'n 'b is a kind of derivative. They had released several mixtapes in the series "New Jack" but we were wrong about the meaning of the word, at the time, early r'n'b, we called it "the new jack while already is "the new jack swing" is a musical that has linked the funk and r'n'b, the principle is the presence of singing on a hip hop beat. "New Jack" was a little word fashion so we put him on the covers (Editor's note # 3 mixtapes, 5,9,16,19,22 & 27) but from the # 30 was put the word r'n'b

There was in the series as on # 10, French rap remix ...

I do not remember, but it was probably to show that we could do music, I just hope it was not kainris instrumentals that had been placed behind (laughs)

The Time Bomb # 23 Special with frees from Hill G, Hi-Fi, Pit Bacardi, Oxmo, Cassidy and Jedi

Mythical, frankly it was magical. For this mixtape they came one by one, I was a big fan of Gilles aka G Hill but when I saved it I really say that this guy was a genius ... I remember for his freestyle the 23, we had not finished building a cabin in the vocals, so we had put the microphone in the main room, he hung his text on the wall, got in front of microphone and said "the sound balance I am a test "he muttered quickly released his text and" c'mon, there has been "we pressed the record button and jack ... 1 ... limit the guy he danced, he had too much feeling ... if Oxmo rapped quietly sitting on a kind of bar stool. The Jedi at the time we followed them all the time, for me these guys are out of place today ... I think they really have talent ...

A word on the artwork of this step

I played basketball and figure 23, the first thing that comes to mind when you're young basketball fan c East Jordan but it was a coincidence either that arose over Time Bomb ...

The number 24

Afrodiziak: Big fan of this group, one guy was part of the family of 2 Bal, where the connection, certainly very happy to have re-worked together for What's the Flavor R & B outlet at Sony in 2002.

Hasheem: One of the pioneers of R & B in France!

Busta Flex: A guy that has experienced during the recording of the Freestyle Cut Killer in 1995, he rapped with his brother, it was called Original Blue Funk and his dj Goldfingers was so direct connection, were put forward friends ...

Shankane: it was the ex-girl in Cut Killer, she rapped about a lot of his projects was a dancer at the base, I do not know what it became ...

We arrive at the 25th the 100% freestyle hip hop French

After Cut Killer has released his mixtape freestyle in 1995 when we asked for that matter, we said 'damn, he did so we'll do it! " For the guys who came to ask is that guy we skirted to the store or studio, more connections, your connections, your name guy for him to come back and save another guy and so away ... At that time there were not too many plans mixtapes / compilations guys were so desperate to come and ask but it's still a mixtape of friends, we all knew t'façon ...

Guys Time Bomb came this time together for the long-freestyle, just missing Booba who was in prison at that time and that really is THE thee ... So sorry Time Bomb while in the studio, Hill G should not ask on this freestyle, he did not smell the stuff and had to do a solo on the tape but at one point he said "nah, freestyle is too heavy, I'll do ketru an "in fact there was not much instrumental to the end and I freaking out because I did not know what he would do, he said 'go j'teste something," a text that 'he had in mind ... I had the opportunity to support the REC jack ... 1 ... and when you listen to the freestyle when he finished his verse is exactly the time when the music stops ... it was magical ... If t ' plays well, I know if we left or not, but just after the last faz "and there is chaos in high-YES" in the studio told you the impression of being at the Parc des Princes, all his buddies have yelled at the same time as a goal ... and out he said "what makes' em so we asked?" (Laughs) I said "dude you rest nothing is saved!" We have listened to it again and it was magical ... a decision ... it was not even be on it ... magic ...

It beats

level, we chose the most part, when you know a guy well you know the artistic level that may be of interest but the mc's had their say. On the recording we did it quickly enough, 4 or 5 months great for any save up and get out in September 97. At the photo inside, the 2 guys that Tecnik and me, we do not recognize us as usual ... ... it is the anonymity the deal, they sold the k7 like shit for a 50 franc note told you what was ... and the target was to show as we were "under surveillance"

Futuristiq, NASM, Verbal Aggression I think it was the first time they settled on a project. In addition to these we did ask a lot of guys of the future New Deal team (Jerry Dafunkyla, Disiz), I was in high school with the cousin of Kodjo. Thereafter he sought as a studio to make his first compilation and it had vibrate the delirium of the 25th, he opened the doors, recorded and mixed a few songs with the sound of Lyr-X "urban guerrilla" in feat . SEFIL with Sully (Koalition).

Regarding Yusiness is a group that has managed and produced, they came from Noisy le Grand / Marne Valley. We worked together for a short period but they experienced a large exposure (fundamentalists compilations New Deal vol.1, vol.2 Hostile Hip Hop, mixtapes Poska # 25, # 9 James dj, dj Kost # 10, # DJ Tal 6, Cut Killer Freestyle 2, etc ...) they were everywhere but they decided not to cooperate with us because they were young and they were inflating the head by other people and since we do seen again ... Tecnik posed with them on the Max Prolific 3, a derivative of Arsenal, the song was called "saturday night fever" on a large sample of Imagination or something in that style, great thing burnt but wished the DJs play the sound box, where it broadcasts generally very little rap French.Parents has also brought on the compilation From Paris to New York in 1998. We had the chance to work with an artist that kiffa: Smooth da Hustler, when we offered to make a sound with him and his guys, it was really called "egg trick". Specifically to the piece we have never seen but they sent the theme and the instrument made by us, after using the machine, you add the voice, synchronized and you're done. The producers have compiled together later for the promotion.

On this compiles found a solo Tecnik "Tecnik microfonik" which for me is the most significant piece of the history of Lyr-X

Already we can see that this Tecnik was more than I do in rap .. . For the record this piece was treated to a remix for Tecnik did a few scenes at the time and it's even more routing machines.

And we can find where this famous remix?

Nowhere (laughs), on stage, this song was his calling card

A word on the B side which we see the logo on the cover of the 25 :

I was the manager and at the DJs had Poska, Kost, James, Lord Chamy, Doze, Nasser & Sample. At the very beginning there was even dj dj Ralph.On Majestic and Cutee B even wanted to come because he was not in the initial formation of the Double H. The story of the creation of the B side is just to piss Cut Killer and its dual H (laughs), the guys had a monopoly and everyone spoke only of them ... So we took decided to assemble a crew, individually we were quite a buzz and we all knew. I do not know why it was called the B side but it was probably for the next "Underground", usually on vinyl EPs, the A side was the single and the B-side "the right song," The B side was also the freestyle side, instruments, short double H it could be " side "and we" Side B ", the challengers in a way.

I've always wondered if James with dj you could not bring a group like NTM on your mixtapes?

unaffordable ... It is a regret ... I know Kost did something with Joey Starr, we were contacted them (like Iams) but it was unmanageable, it has never managed to get them. Already NTM, they did not featuring for years, they did not grafted with others. They refused to even their titles appear on the compilations that the record companies did they put the pieces that had the most market during the year ... NTM was in-compilable ... we had to buy their albums.

A final word on the # 25 and thought to EAST (RIP) on the cover

It would have really liked it ...

(more coming this weekend ...)

- series What's the flavor? (Mixtape) (1994 - 2003)

I got into fashion in recent weeks inspector to gather information about you Dj Poska, his famous series of mixtapes What's the flavor? lot of freestyles and unreleased French who had the spice of American rap selections from the twentieth episode released in 1996. Begun in late 1994 it focused on the mix of rap with here and there a remix of French rap and homemade music group Poska: Lyr-X he formed with his friends Franky Montana and Tecnik. They put on quite a few compilations and tapes during the 90s but never released an album and then gradually evolved to become artistically Funky Maestro and created their label in order to develop their own artists (Basic Endomageur group, John (jszan ) Gali, Remo Williams, Smoker) and out of many projects listed by Franky Montana to address this .

What's the flavor? The black mixtape
Same concept as the B side of the French touch freestyle exit 98, with a meeting here of 52 freestyles posed throughout the series. A good way to get to the page, however small problem with too strong for my taste presence of freestyles from the fiftieth, I would have liked to pick over in the old k7 but we should welcome the initiative and hope to have a volume 2 the rest of freestyles reissued in CD quality.
