I would love to hear a D.O.C/EPMD album once he masters AI and call it ‘(This is) Serious Business’ after his iconic line.

@themarianyc If they’re priority or artists who are gaining cult traction, encourage them to get onlyfans accounts and livestream their studio sessions and creative content. Monetise the day one fly-on-the-wall supporters

@DJRTistic Mack 10 (I know, I worked those albums at Priority), Dre’s 2001, and a couple others peaked, but there was a huge hollowness to the releases in that period - why?

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

@DJRTistic Im curious what it was in the water in LA when the lull happened - think 97 to 2004ish. EVERYTHING changed from shortly arter Pac’s death until The Game’s debut album, OG’s ALL changed styles/sounds and LA lost it’s way. A few underground artists bubbled (Kurupt/Ras/Xzibit etc)

@jayson_smiley @JoeBiancoAuthor it's a mock up for a New Zealand Music Hall of Fame project that I am sourcing development funding for. But I come from that background - every screenplay i write was originally a song/album concept so i have score/theme in mind/complete. I used to work at Priority Records in LA

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

@jayson_smiley @JoeBiancoAuthor Yes. AI is ‘eating’ every post, every tweet, everything published onto the internet without a password access, it is absorbing. It will unfortunately become a necessary tool for most professions.

@sportsfan1205 Kane, O.C, AZ, Sticky Fingaz, Raekwon, Tek, Steele, Fame & Danze, Chubb Rock, Ruck & Rocknes, Cormega, Gza, Busta, Half A Mil… there’s a lot.

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

I can name maybe 15 MC’s just from Brooklyn that I like more than Jay-Z. I am proud of him for everything he has accomplished but I just don’t find his music for me. Biggie, too. Although I like Biggie, I just don’t think he’s as dope as he is rated… just me I guess.

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

A video like this inspired my screenplay ‘Red Mob’ about a mob of kangaroos become the unintentional recipients of an Aboriginal curse that turns them into murderous marsupials - killing humans indiscriminately across the outback.

@DJRTistic @OGChilly87 You don’t feel the same with CB4 and Fear of A Black Hat? As much as I enjoyed Clockers, some of that felt like an LA ‘hood movie’ diss.

Who is in your top 10 West Coast rappers?

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

@tauhenare It’s definitely looking that way.

This muthafucka right here.

@robpursey What many don’t understand is that 12” is Rakim’s influence in real time. It’s the bridge between both PE albums, and a change in flow as well as an eye opening result of touring. There’s so much going on that changed rap on one record.

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

@robpursey I wanted that picture sleeve so bad.

[Mark Thomson @Mark833]

Ron was cool as shit. He used to let me use his studio on Waiheke and he had so many stories of the early Motown days.
