Curtis tells MTV that when it comes to producing a mixtape or writing a remix, it’s as easy as Sunday morning.
“Mister Cee plays a lot of that music still. I had Cee send me a CD
that he thought would be hot to hear. Production-wise, I wanted them to
still feel what the youthful audience feels is hot right now. Writing a
remix is easy. It’s just putting the words to the scenario. If you have
no production plan, that’s when it starts to get easy. Mixtape material
is easy for me. Two days, three days, [I record it]. I know who I’m
talking to.”
And in case you don’t know, he’s referring to the “general public.” Gotta love those buzz words.
That blog post perfectly captured the raw intensity of Joell Ortiz’s performance at Guz Sports Bar! His delivery of Battle Cry was absolutely electric, making the whole room feel like it was vibrating with pure, unfiltered energy. It reminded me of those high-stakes moments during a intense word guessing game with friends where the pressure is on and every single syllable counts. Seeing such a lyrical powerhouse perform in such an intimate, gritty setting was a legendary experience. If you weren't there, you truly missed out on some masterful storytelling. I'm still buzzing from that incredible night of hip-hop excellence!
