This Jonah Matranga interview was published on BrooklynVegan today. Here's the part where Jonah talks about Fort Minor and Lupe.
Q: How did the Lupe and Fort Minor stuff come about?
Jonah: Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park had literally called me on tour the first time he met me and he had heard a song I had written called "Pollyana." I don't know how he heard it, but I think he liked Far actually. So we got to be friends and I was producing Fort Minor while he was producing the Lupe track (The Instrumental). So I came down in one session and did both of those things. Those two things have bought me more schoolyard credit then fifteen years of hard labor (chuckles.)
I wish I could say "Yeah, me and Lupe were hanging out..." But no. I never met Lupe Fiasco. I would love to. I think that record is great. I don't like his new shit, but I like the first shit and I want more man. Read More Here
- So he doesn't like the new shit huh? I'd like to know what he doesn't like about it in particular.
At least he keeps it real, I feel the same way sometimes. FL > The Cool
ReplyDeleteits sad how two people can make beautiful music and never even meet, it takes away from the listener to know that it was all assembled through 1's and 0's...I first realized this when I heard Jay-Z's hello Brooklyn, it was an okay song and then it was trash when I found out they weren't even in the same city to make the track..

ReplyDeletethe dif. b/w the albums is all on personal preference
ReplyDeleteI like food and liquor more, but i know plenty of people who don't feel that way
