  • QLS gets in the weeds with Mr. Walt and Evil Dee of Da Beatminerz. This free-flowing discussion traces the origins of a very gritty sound and frequency of 1990s Rap production. The two brothers are not above clowning one another as they recall working on Black Moon's classic debut Enta Da Stage, going crate-digging with Q-Tip, and helping to make D&D Studios a true enclave of hardcore Hip Hop. True to Da Beatminerz' name and sound, this episode digs deep.

      I remember when Evil Dee was running in urban camo fatigue in Tim Dog's "Hardcore" music video, over a ultra beat few months before they dropped How Many MCs...
      I think UltraMag don't get enough flowers.
      in addition to impeccable production, deep crates, the list of their collaborations is at an enviable level, not to mention connections with late Paul C. Mc Kasty (Rest in Beats king of sp-1200), tons of rare underground beat tapes, making remix for Janet Jackson (they were managed my Michaels people at some point), innovating, advancing programming drum patterns in hip hop game since 1988 - (A Chorus Line).
      Nuff respect - Questlove!

    when you grow up with records in the house you become a different type of listener early. i was listening to Bob James at 7 years old... like 1980... Sign of the Times is still one of my favorite albums today... I thank God for my musical upbringing... I grew listening to the lkes of Ronnie Laws, Jay Hoggard, Ramsey Lewis... Donald Byrd... folks like Bobby Broom and Michael Wycoff... I know the source long beofre the samplex came...

    Salute Questlove and his crew and Da Beatminerz. I remember always wanting to know how Evil & Walt used to accent basslines without the top end. My first machine was the Ensoniq ASR 10 (which I still own and it works) and when I learned how to LPF and HPF filter on the ASR like Evil and Walt did on their equipment , I felt I cracked the cheat code. Before that I didn't even know what to call what they were doing... I just knew I HAD to figure it out.

    I need to do my own Podcast for real... For you youngsters the Casio SK-1 was the start of a lot of it for a lot of people. I had cousin who had the Pt-1 and carried it everywhere. I remember watching him learn the breakdown part (where the song transitions to a more melancholy chord progression) of Prince's "Computer Blue" while riding on charter bus from Portmouth to Miami for Family reunion.

    The Python of truth and logic, is constricting the means of denial and escape, that were abused by the Axis FORCE-indulging, war criminal majority.
    Big PYTHONS, I remember training for that, since the age of ten or eleven.
    I developed the opposite, lean, wiry and dense muscles. Had wider shoulders, till growing taller at 36.
    Lately, I look down at longer narrow feet, under skinny chicken legs ..they move me about faster ..but I remind me of Olive Oyl.
    Imagine that, Olive Oyl reconnoitered, investigated and is ending the Axis american invasion of Canada ..without firearms nor resources, countering one's mistaken and out of control countrymen, Axis pirates.
    Well look at that, Popeyes had their butts branded by Brutus and it takes Olive Oyl to end the conflict.
