Drink Champs: Steve Rifkind (Video)

Holy sh!t… The p*ssy there was ridiculous… I mean it was just ridiculous… I think I really wanna be in this record business!

Wow. Is N.O.R.E. gassing this dude? More so than the usual way he does during guest introductions… maybe. Definition of ‘C.E.O.’ (debatable, he might say) and Inventor of the ‘Street Team’ (since 1981, not up for debate, don’t come for him): It’s Steve Rifkind.

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are The Drink Champs. On today’s episode The Champs chop it up with legendary Record Executive Steve Rifkind. Best known for being the founder and chairman of Loud Records and of SRC Records. Rifkind signed artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Three 6 Mafia and more!

Steve is the inventor of the “Street Team” and in the 90’s / early 2000’s his methods and strategies helped revolutionize the way artists campaigns were marketed and promoted. Steve shares great stories about working with the legendary Quincy Jones and Jimmy Iovine.

As Johnathan Rifkind and Randy Ackerjoin the conversation, Steve Rifkind shares historic stories about legends such as Big Pun, ODB and Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Steve announces that DMX is working on a new album and the 25th Anniversary concert celebrating Loud Records; which was held at the Radio City Music Hall featuring legendary Loud Records artists.

Lots of great stories and valuable gems that you don’t want to miss.

Rigz x Vinnie Paz – “They Still Shook” (Prod. By Chup)

It gets no iller than Mobb Deep on “Shook Ones” son. Facts.

But it can get darker. Yup, found that out just after listening to this. Rochester Rigz & Philly Vinnie Paz – no ‘halfway crooks’ to be certain – dropped this “They Still Shook” jawn and officially convinced me. Yeezus West! The evil beat flip by Chup set the tone for it and the duo went hella IN!

Great interview! I especially like how Raine and Cormega got into respect for the Culture vs. the Street in this discussion. Gonna check for that Cormega release off the strength. Respek!

Cassidy – “I’m A Prodigy”

The only ghostwriter that be really writing with actual ghosts. Facts!
P in the booth with me right now!

By now, Cassidy almost HAS to say crazier and crazier stuff to keep us off balance and convinced that he is forever on point. Dude is pretty much saying he literally channeled the spirit of Prodigy AND got his cosign to get in the booth and lean on n!ggas. Wowwww.

But it is a dope freestyle though. Awesome flows over Mobb Deep beats.

History: Learn About The 1920s In America, In Less Than An Hour, In Full Color (Video)

The Roaring 20’s… the decade before The Great Depression… The time of Al Capone and Prohibition (like on “Boardwalk Empire”). Heard of it? Sure you have. But how much have you went and learned? It’s a lot of ground to cover in American History. Might be easier, even more engaging, if someone made a documentary about the era and ‘brought it to you live’ (like Mobb Deep, so to speak).

The 1920s was an era of vibrant times and colorful characters. For the first time, we present the Roaring ’20s in color, from Ford’s assembly line to Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight and from speakeasies to New York’s Wall Street.
– Smithsonian Channel

“America in Color: The 1920s.” Like a history class you won’t wanna ditch. Click the pic above and watch. You’re welcome.

(Recognize narration in this by Showtime’s own “Ray Donovan”Liev Schreiber.)

Just hours after news of Prodigy’s passing got out, Fat Joe was already over at Mass Appeal HQ, so staffers pulled The Don in front of the camera to discuss P’s legacy.

When you talk about the New York sound, you know, nothing is more authentic and true to the New York sound than Mobb Deep… I place [Prodigy] in the Mount Rushmore of Hip-Hop… He’s a real treasure.
– Mass Appeal

Look at Joe. It’s like he cannot believe Prodigy is gone. Neither can we.
