"Study your History, whoever don't i pity the fool like Mr. T"
MF Doom JQ : D.L.B from Fearless 4 and Kool Moe Dee both told me that you were known as the king of the echo chamber , and how you had this greatest show on Earth announcer voice. How did that start , was it just stumbled upon from experimenting ? CR: Most of the time Flash used a collection of things , until right before we started making records and we had a legitimate system. Before that if we used an echo chamber and turned it up to a certain level it would hum because everything was so haphazard , so we didn't like to use it. But when we could get it to work right we would use it. When you used an echo chamber all you got was echo , there was no on or off. Flash found out that if you plug a foot switch into the back of the chamber that would turn it on and off. But Flash was the king of the make shift electronics so he took a light switch , and found the same kind of plug that would go in the back of the echo chamber . With the foot switch you would have to step once to click it on , and once again to click it off. With the light switch you could click it on or off. This gave the echo chamber a different quality. With this you had a certain energy that you could just unleash on motherf*ckers !! And I felt that . I was the only one who actually felt that the echo chamber could have an advantage. http://www.thafoundation.com/creeintf5.htm

JQ : What was the difference in Hip Hop in the Bronx and Hip Hop in Manhattan?
CR : Starski still had that disco influence . You could tell that Starski had seen Hollywood play a few times . He had the same cadences and rhymed rhythmically but he didn't make up his own rhymes. Those Disco Djs they always used nursery rhymes mixed up with their own stuff. When you heard us there would be nothing familiar that we said unless you heard us say it before. We would write everything and it was our own creation. JQ : What was your reaction when you heard Rappers Delight ? |
