The Audacity of Dope

A few things to note for this week’s SNSS:

• Shout to up and coming artist YP for calling in to the show and speaking on his recent signing to Universal, his music, and all things Chicago.
• Special thanks to Wyking for dropping by the studio to speak on his #2604Peace campaign and the upcoming Umoja Fest here in Seattle.  If you’d like to get involved, just drop that #2064Peace hashtag on Twitter and get down with the crew.  We’re long overdue to stop, or at least hamper, the violence affecting our community and the entire country.  Stop the madness.
• More special thanks to Thurz for allowing us to world premiere his new record with Rich Kidd and Rocki Evans, “Keep The Faith.”  Be on the lookout for his upcoming mixtape with Mick Boogie, which will be leading up to his next album, Blood On The Canvas.  A classic in the making, trust me.
• We’ll have our interviews with Meek Mill and Yuna coming soon.  Shout to both those artists for showing love to Sound Session.

Enjoy the show!

Ah yes, the list that generated enough tweets in the Seattle hip-hop community to trend the other day has reached its conclusion with the release of the #1 video above.  For those unaware, D-Money of Juice Radio put together this project inspired by the MTV “Hottest MC” debate where he asked several media figures in the Seattle/Tacoma area to submit lists of their top 15 “freshest MC’s.”  The panel was comprised of myself, Casey Carter, Sara from Fresh N Def, Sermon from Sermon’s Domain, DJ SupaSam, DJ Swervewon, Josh Rizeberg, and DJ Iceman.  A final slot was reserved for fan votes collected on Juice Radio’s website and you can view the entire list and the accompanying videos here.

We were told to construct the list using specific criteria focusing on solo MC’s (not groups or singers) and their accomplishments within the past year.  The various categories we were instructed to key on ranged from sales/downloads to radio play, from concert draws to media recognition, and every variable you can think of in between.  In the end, even with the criteria, the idea was to make picks based on who we felt were the overall “freshest” in the NW, which is obviously subjective to each individual.  Not surprisingly, we had fairly different lists, and also not surprisingly, it was revealed during the course of our discussion that some of the panel did not follow the criteria or fully understand it.  What’s a hip-hop list without some controversy from the very start (and the inability to do the most basic tasks correctly)?

The format allowed for the panel to bump up artists if we were convinced during our discussion that they had been voted to an incorrect slot.  Personally, I would have preferred the panel to simply fill out their lists accurately from the jump and then we could stick with where someone was voted.  If you’re deemed knowledgeable enough to be on the panel, you should be able to construct a good list and defend your picks without getting swayed during the discussion to vote someone up or down.  That said, when Macklemore was revealed as #3 on the list, I was happy we’d have a chance to vote him to his correct position at #1 because it’s clear that with the criteria we were told to use, nobody has excelled more than him in the past year.  It’s not even debatable in my opinion.

I was disappointed that the list didn’t unanimously have him at #1 to begin with, but I can’t speak for the selections of any other panel member.  All I know is that only 6 of the 15 artists I selected made the final list (though they only revealed the top 10, so I suppose 5 were never going to make it).  Of those, I think the most startling omissions were Geologic (aka Prometheus Brown) and Ish (aka Palaceer Lazaro of Shabazz Palaces).  To conclude a “Freshest In The NW” list without two of our most successful and influential artists, who continue to release great music to widespread critical and consumer acclaim, seems like a travesty.

Regardless, it seems the list accomplished what it set out to do, which was to generate conversation about all the talent we have in the Northwest.  Were there things I would do differently if this were my project?  Absolutely, starting with the fact that I would never do it to begin with.  However, this is Juice Radio’s creation and I enjoyed giving my two cents in the discussion.

That said, I’m troubled by the reactions of many people, mainly because they seem to be attacking the idea that this is some sort of definitive list.  Of course it’s NOT a definitive list!  I thought that would have been common sense, but yet again, for the 24823948239423424th time in my life, I’ve overestimated the intelligence and comprehension levels of the general public (though if I continue to do that, it’s really more my fault than theirs).  Individual lists are fine, but it’s the idea that combining a group of lists, from anyone, somehow transforms these individual opinions to fact that is completely absurd.  I assumed everyone would understand that, but I was wrong.

I hope you enjoyed the debate and the videos, but I’d advise you do yourself a favor and don’t take it too seriously.  Then again, that’s also just my opinion…

Big shout to everyone I ran into down in Los Angeles this past week, especially Nick and the whole team at Hard Knock TV.  I had a blast playing in their basketball tournament and celebrating their 7 year anniversary and 50 million YouTube views.  Here’s to many, many more!

Big shout to all the artists, DJ’s, managers, and label reps we caught up with at KUBE’s Summer Jam over the weekend.  Kid Ink, E-40, Tyga, Big Sean, B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, and Rick Ross all performed in front of 18k fans at the Gorge.  Great show all around!  Check the recap here.

In other news, this archive for SNSS episode #365 means you can now listen to a show a day for an entire year without repeating a single one.  A full year of SNSS!  What else could you ask for?

Well, I suppose could ask for Maybach Music Group’s Stalley to drop by our show this week to talk about his latest mixtape, MMG’s Self Made, Vol. 2 compilation, and his upcoming album (video of the interview coming soon).  You could also ask for one of Seattle’s dopest MC’s (and possibly the next to follow in Macklemore’s footsteps on the national scene), Sol, to come through as well and talk about his amazing globetrotting plans for the next year and his “farewell” show this Saturday at the Showbox Market (with The Physics and XV).  And in case you wanted to be greedy, you could also ask that Brothers From Another drop by the studio to talk about their new Taco Tuesday EP and debut an instant Seattle summer time classic, “Molly Moon” with Prometheus Brown & Thig Natural.

And since I’m in a giving mood, here you go:

On this week’s SNSS, we brought back one half of Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum production group, Tha Bizness, and Henny brought Dow Jones with him this time to complete the crew.  A few days prior, J. Moore and I had the pleasure of appearing on their panel about “How The Music Industry Really Works In 2012” alongside Jake One, Macklemore, BBoy (Two In The Shirts clothing), Sermon’s Domain, Miss Casey Carter, Eddie Francis, and the Sacramento Kings’ starting point guard, Isaiah Thomas.  We had a great discussion and I can’t wait until Henny & Dow do it again next year, even bigger.  Peep Sermon’s recap here.  Much respect to everyone involved!

We were also joined in studio by one of our favorite producers, Marcus D, who  just released his new Melancholy Hopeful album with appearances by Substantial, One Be Lo, Luck One, Choklate, Cise Star, Funky DL, and more.  Cop it here!
