Here we go with part 2 of “CHANNEL ZERO” with Blu, Exile and Fashawn. We watch the video for the song that inspired Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock”, talk about LL Cool J’s influence on them, go back to the days of the L.A. Good Life Cafe and have a look at a classic German rap video. – splash!-Mag

they look bored as fuck
bullshit. fashawn freaks out when this canibus thing comes in.
i like the concept and their thoughts on the videos, even though they seem to be mad stressed out from tourin
i hope there’s a part 3….LOL @ exile “call your mom”
Both Blu and Fashawn look bored as hell and exile was gone he needed to just stop talking lol
These niggas all look high as fuck…lol
exile is very knowledgable about hip hop. go figure, the white dude knows more lol fashawn doesnt look bored though. it seems like hes interested in these things that are new to em. blu just looks like he dont give a shit lol
Why would you be surprised that the white dude knows about hip hop?
I’ve met plenty of black guys that claim to know about hip hop (and who love to claim credit for starting the culture because they are the same color as the originators) but don’t know shit.
I’ve also met plenty of white guys that are more a part of the culture then these other guys could ever be, regardless of their color.
In 2010 that racial shit is so played out and tired. In 2010 it’s also unsurprising that “white people can hip-hop too!” nonsense discussion is not going away anytime soon.
The real diff is that Exile is a DJ and DJ’s are the curators of hip-hop culture. They’re like the directors. They have to know their shit. MCs are the lead actors. They may be deep into the history of their culture. They may just show up and do their thing.
Exile is also 100% dundee in a way that I haven’t seen from Blu or Fashwan. No disrespect, but Exile is on some renaissance-man shit. A killer graff artist, beat-maker, video director, rapper, and who knows what else. He’s clearly got an understanding, talent, and passion for hip-hop that’s rarely matched.
