group to address these things through music and still remain rhythmic enough to be entertainers, so we rode the thin line to where a lot of people who build on positive things have missed the clubs, have missed the dance floor.We captured both elements and we captured the street as well.Clan represents a crossroads of four individuals who came together for a purpose and when you come together at a crossroads in life and you fulfill your necessity or purpose then you go back to fulfill you elements in life and that's basically what we did at the time.With DSR I wanted to keep teamwork alive.Im known as a verbalist, I'm known as a lyrcist, I could easily come out with a solo project.The Dark Sun Riders represents a family.As political activists who use the tools of media to voice an expression, what type of message do you think that your audience needs to hear?You want to find people who can become media assasins, like Harry Allen a good friend of mine who was a part of Public Enemy as a media assassin, these are the kind of people that you want to have in your camp so when they do try to slander you and blackball your sound and misinterpret your sound, you have someone that can basically say, "That's not what's happening, let me give you the real deal!"They just hire a publicist and whatever is said; you know if the slander brings them more sales they roll with it, but as a black nationalist you really want the media on your side to let them know what your doing to assist people.We are the indigenous people and since we are that you have to start from where the original juice is to teach other.If we don't show that then we never prove who we are.If we continue to show the barbaric side or the angry side of who we are then they will always judge us as that.Clan is mentioned with the likes of a Public Enemy, KRS1, Poor Righteous Teachers, and some may even say Dead Prez.Brooklyn natives Mos Def and Talib Kweli of Blackstarr.Public Enemy, KRS, UltraMagnetic, Kool Mo Dee, Melly Mel, Red Alert was the DJ of the night.So many groups got their start there.The train was my iron horse as I rode through the city and picked up jewels.Ultramagnetic gave me the opportunity in their house and from there we got a deal with Island Records and the rest was history.New York is overwhelmed with too many artists right now.Fellas and the Bad Boys and so on.How do feel about the definition of true hip hop and how do you feel specifically about KRS1 going up against someone with the likes of Nelly?Brother J: I don't see someone with the likes of Nelly's caliber going up against a person like KRS1.KRS's point is that we can no longer continue to let the commercial situation sell more units than the intelligent artist.You know its not like I'm intelligent, buy my record over Nelly's.KRS's situation of boycotting this brother's music should've been directed at the audience more so than Nelly.He's selling 7 million records coming off the head because he's fresh out of a place that really didn't have anybody.So we should be happy that we can get areas to support black music, but I think that KRS was pointing out that we should have quality control over what we support.We don't have the Jaguar companies, the Mercedes companies, so you have to think about who has that.Do you think that since hip hop has become mainstream that there needs to be a balance between "Shake your booty, bitch better have my money" music as compared with "Black people unite, black people get free" music, or is there a balance?They want to hear some raw rhyming and scratching and so on.So it's a food cycle, but the underground gets is anger.So the line of where the music is supposed to be is thin, the booty shaking music is from people like Afrika Bambatta, "boom boom skerrch" it's the same thing everytime.Bambatta's conscious, where is bambatta from?It's a cycle, they eat off us but they don't give it back.The line will be drawn naturally tho, trust me.Because the people who sing devil rock and roll do not associate themselves with the Aerosmiths and Metallicas, so there is a line drawn.When you look at the music, the clothing, the language and even the exploitation of women, do you think that artist is primarily in control over his or her voice?If they are not, who is?Brother J: When you sign your contract, there are certain rights that you sign away.See they are paid to do marketing of your music and how your image comes off to people.You gotta have a goal in this game.They want to be a commodity because they want to sell, they want money for themselves, they want wealth for themselves.Not to pay your bills, not to eat, not to take care of you family, no to spend on cars.So instead of you pushing your stuff on the streets you've got a label going, here's a loan and if you go ahead and get this loan paid by selling units then you'll have some more money on top.One day you wake up and you just write the best rhyme you wrote in your life.Zen you can't explain the formulas but if it's in you it just flows.Quality control by the people who change this industry.It has nothing to do with the artist.If you want adult entertainment then there will be 5 more Lil' Kims.Everyone with a message is angry.You have to enjoy the struggle.When the people start thinking like that and the artist starts to think like that, then shit will change brother.You will not see scrolling text and other features in Netscape!Brooklyn, New York, originally composed of Grand Verbalizer Funkin' Lesson Brother J, Professor X the

On another PC related note, we pulled some disturbing numbers this past week about the amount of PC players currently playing Multiplayer (which was fantastic).CD keys of pirated copies (and that was only people playing online).Not sure if I can share the exact numbers or percentage of PC players with you, but I'll check and see; if I can I'll update with them.As the amount of people who pirate PC games is astounding.One is based on Team Fortress Classic's Badlands, he told Shacknews, and Valve expects to ship more content in the meantime.Badlands is a pair of bases separated by cliffs and canyons, or at least it was in TFC.PC gamers can definitely look forward to those maps (although remember: Valve and release dates), but apparently Xbox 360 and PS3 versions have yet to be confirmed.The stuff we'll be getting in the meantime should include the new Medic Achievement pack, along with a significant albeit unspecified gameplay tweak that Valve is going...Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It?All Rights Reserved
