Termanology and Statik Selektah Interview with iHipHop.com

Charley Brown — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 12:23:56 +0000

iHiphop.com presents to you and hip hop video interview with Termanology and Statik Selektah to talk hip hop music before they left for their respective tours in Europe. Statik Selektah discusses what its like to be overseas and the reactions from international hip hop fans. They both give some information on the 1982 album that is coming out this year. Termanology likens him and Statik to Gangstarr. Statik also promises TWENTY, yes TWENTY hip hop albums coming this year with all big name artists. That would be a serious feat and I look forward to it. Some names mentioned include Talib Kweli, Saigon, Souls of Mischief, and Styles P.

The hip hop duo go on to compare hennessey with Brugal, and Statik Selektah claims that as soon as he stepped off at the airport in the Dominican Republic, they were force-feeding him Brugal. You’re my homey Statik but you’re full of ish on that one LOL.

Anyhow, Termanology clearly is enjoying the Brugal throughout the interview. The Law-town hip hop artist speaks on his track, Tight Pants Are For Girls, and calls out these so called hip hop thugs wearing spandex-like jeans. He explains that his song isn’t about those that have stayed wearing tight jeans like they were ever in style, but rather those wearing Karl Kani jeans yesterday and today are rocking their sister’s pants.

They finish the interview with Statik Selektah saying he’s done with hip hop mixtapes and is sticking with albums this year. Termanology promises three albums in 2009, and Lil Fame makes an appearance to let you know that he’s dope and M.O.P. is in the studio working on their next hip hop classic!

I’m a little late on this one… it’s been sitting in my email for two days, but it’s been crazy over here… so finally, here you go. The Japanese go crazy for the two… it’s good to see good hip-hop is still appreciated and wildly popular over there… can’t say the same sometimes for the U.S…. shit, even NY. So sad.

With that being said… there are few opinions about hip hop that I really respect and believe are worth reading… DJ Premier falls in that category. His top twenty falls much in line with my own with a few glaring exceptions. One album that I can’t believe is missing from the top twenty AND the honorable mention is the Foreign Exchange album. That album may very well be in my top five this year. Another worthy project that was left off was Generation Gap 2 by Ali Vegas. I’ll give Premier a pass on that though because it didn’t drop until the last month of the year. Aside from missing those two albums, his top ten is pretty much on point… EXCEPT Lil Wayne? I can’t deny that he moved a lot of units and his face is splattered everywhere in hip hop… but I find it hard to accept that Premo is falling for this fabricated suburbanite love affair with him. But it is what it is… I think Reks deserved a spot in the top twenty, as did Large Professor and maybe Black Milk… but as I said, overall, the list is the best I’ve seen from 2008. Peace to DJ Premier.
