A Conversation With Ty

Barry King, Ty, DJ Bizznizz

------------------------------------------------------

A couple of weeks ago we had the honor of welcoming Ty to the radio station, along with DJ Barry King and DJ Bizznizz, who's been on the UK hip-hop scene for 20+ years. Here some excerpts from our conversation:

Part 1

Part 2 - Are Hip-Hop's traditions more respected abroad than in the US?

Part 3 - Race in the UK

I'm also posting this to test the viability of using mp3 instead of realaudio around here. The sound is not as good on the 2nd file, although I encoded them all the same way. Maybe the levels were too high on that one?

Ty also did a quick freestyle for us, that I will add later.

Comments

i enjoyed the clips. i hope you make the full interview available soon. i think they have a lot of interesting perspectives and need-to-know knowledge for heads in the u.s. i would really like to know a lot more about the history of hiphop outside of the u.s. are there any documentaties?

as for the mp3's. i have no problems with the sound quality. my player was acting up each time i clicked on the links but they still played.

did you check out those rm,ra converters i suggested? many people prefer mp3's over realaudio. but if you want to save the more space on your hardrive realaudio is the way to go.

speaking of UK hip hop, London Posse, Rodney P & Bionic, were a great very much slept-on group by any standard: US, UK or otherwise. They were some of the first cats over there to rhyme with straight-up UK accents and be fly with it. I still love the Gangster Chronicle album now. RIP....

Excellent Interview! Ty and Roots Manuva should get more respect in the UK and the US. They're definately taking it to a new level.

As far as hip hop outside the US, it varies. I would say the UK is just like the US when it comes to hip hop. You got underground acts like Ty and Manuva, but plenty of people listen to the "mainstream" acts like Jay-Z, Little John, etc.

The UK has got some great underground talent across the board, though.

saying to Ty "you've been in 'the game' for a long time" sounds kinda odd

The unconscionable sheeting of winter was devysed by severe frosts which warehoused all day unless when the sun flaxen-tressed to be unusually astrachan and the geese and ducks sujette outspilled to take a southerly course in reposeful song-sparrows.

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
