It’s nice to see that even though it’s been a few months since Guru passed, people are still talking, remembering, and sharing memories. My Phoenix article about his life and death is probably the most popular piece I’ve ever written in terms of the amount of feedback I’ve gotten. It’s truly amazing how much he [...]

Promoting Boston hip-hop is a thankless task. Yet Tim “T Banga” Damrath spent damn near every moment of his free time propelling local artists toward the spotlight. When Damrath died this past Sunday, the Bean rap scene lost one of its most enthusiastic supporters and most hard-working executive producers – a [...]

“You want to hear about insanity? I was found running naked through the jungles in Mexico. At the Mexico City airport, I decided I was in the middle of a movie and walked out on the wing on takeoff. My body… my liver… okay, my brain… went.” – Dennis Hopper

Meet The Guy Who Spent 10 Years Of His Life Writing A Book About The History Of The Vocoder
Posted on May 12, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Boston, Events, Interviews | Leave a Comment
Don’t be fooled by its textbook appearance — How To Wreck a Nice Beach (Melville House/Stop Smiling) is hardly a dry anthropological study of “The Vocoder from World War II to Hip-Hop,” as the subtitle suggests. In his decade-long exploration of voice compression, veteran music journo (and seismic wordsmith) Dave Tompkins [...]

Another Rhymesayers SoundSet – Memorial Day Weekend
Posted on April 7, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Events, Hip Hop | 3 Comments
I suppose that anyone who lives in that icy tundra known as Rhymesayers-land deserves a party this dope at least once a year. This line-up is amazing – possibly even worth a road trip for anyone who wants to re-live some old memories and declare it to be the new Scribble Jam sans the battles [...]
Frank White+Mister Jason+Flavorheard=Fever (This Saturday @ Good Life in Boston)
Posted on April 1, 2010 by Chris Faraone - Filed Under Boston, Boston Hip-Hop, Events | Leave a Comment
You have a better chance of hearing Taylor Swift songs banging out of Kanye’s tinted windows than you do of hearing either of their pop asses on the Good Life speakers during Fever. The monthly two-room turntable team of Frank White, Mister Jason, and the Flavorheard gang may be Boston’s most [...]

Just when you think Puffy has corralled all of America’s thirst for controversy and replaced it with a thirst for toilet vodka, all those gay, women, minority (gasp!) democrats get this health care bill passed and make Sarah Palin angry…you won’t like her when she’s angry. Now, I feel inclined to make a blog post [...]
