HipHopDX Reviews A Major Minority
Reminscent of The Lyricist Lounge.
I was down in NYC this past weekend @ the Knitting Fatory performing at 6th Sense & Friends. 6th invited me to come down and do some tracks, so I hopped on a BoltBus and 4 hours later that day I arrived in NYC. Now for those of you who don’t know the Knitting Factory has been the stepping stone for underground acts in NYC for almost two decades and now the legendary venue was about to close its doors for good.
Now I was pretty young when Lyricist Lounge started, but I was in high school for the tail end of it. I remember bumping the old Rawkus CDs in my busted ass CD player, trying not to move when I was in the car on the way to school so the CD doesn’t skip. I used to imagine myself in the crowd @ Shea stadium watching Mos & Tip do Body Rock in front of thousands. But I’m pretty sure they never rocked Shea, but even if they did it all started in a small intimate, sweaty, couple hundred people in a basement like we rocked last weekend. Now thats Hip Hop!
Black ELement - Confirmation (Live)
This show was reminscent of the Lyricist Lounge days, where you’d see a lot dope artists in a short amount of time. Acts like Outasight, Wildabeast, Old Money, The Kid Daytona, Nina B, Mike Maven, Miz Metro and of course 6th. Something that doesn’t happen enough eventwise is getting a lot of talent on one bill, thats Hip Hop! Even though I was a little tipsy performing and slurred some of my words with the assist of Mr. Jack Daniels, it was a really fun time and I met a lot of talented heads. My message to all the MCs, Producers and DJs out there is if you want to be sucessful, you can’t always do it yourself and to put on a great show sometimes you need a few friends, thats Hip Hop.
Also shout out to 6th and everyone else who came out!

We even got Durkin on the phone to answer a few questions. Here’s the talking portion, minus the tracks…
Hip Hop Renatus

I’ve known Dub MD for a few months now, he hit me up waay back in June and ever since then me and dood have been building. This is one of his latest installments entitled Hip Hop Renatus, and it features the likes of 6th Sense, Skyzoo, Emilio Rojas, Sha Stimuli, Wordsmith, Supastition and yours truley. It has all of us rocking over some classic production, from some of the greats. So download this right now and throw it on your iPod/Zune or that busted ass CD player you still got.
illRoots Interview

This is a old interview from iR. I’m real late with it, but like I said I’m going to be catching up with the posts that I have been missing over the last month due to my computer issues. However, better late than never right?
The Table of ELements is comprised of various types of elements from Alkaline to Noble Gases, just like Hip-Hop ,rather we like to believe it or not, is comprised of several stable and unstable elements. We scientifically broke down the Black ELement to find out how many protons and neutrons it actually was comprised of and found out a few other interesting facts. Enter Black EL…….
I’m Not Dead…

My computer just was. I have had one hell of a month with my PC, but I’m back and I will be updating the site. But I’m back and I have a lot to talk about… lol. Between Geek Squad and Amazon, I have probably gotten my fair share of stress the last few weeks. But fuck it we back.
You Can’t See Me in NBA 2k9

If you don’t know, when your boy EL is not in the studio or doing some sort of buisness he is a avid 2k9 player. I’ve always been a fan of the series and last year at college when me and my boys were pre-gaming we would play it until it we were buzzed enough to get down to were the parties were at. Enter Gav, you may know him from Jack Of All Trades, now me and homeboy have been talking trash about whose iller at the game since it came out in October so Monday + Tuesday I had to show him what time it was.
If your not familiar with 2k9 edicit, whenever you play you pick your teams @ random 3 times and then preceed to have your choice out of those three. Not only did I go undefeated those two days, I dropped 50 on Gav with Jason Kapono. Ouch, Oh and did I mention that I own a PS3 and we played on his 360…double Ouch. You can bet Gav is somewhere practicing, dreaming of the day he defeat a brother in 2k9. In the words of John Cena “You can’t See Me”. So if any of you got a PS3, hit a brother up on the network my gamer tag is AMAJORMINORITY… Scream @ the kid.
