A Guide to Statik Selektah

Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:00 PM PDT

In honor of Statik Selektah's announcement that the first single off his ninth studio album, The Balancing Act, will be released this Friday, I thought I'd make a post dedicated to his career and influence as a DJ and producer (as I did for The Alchemist back in March).

Inspired by DJ Premier and Funkmaster Flex, Boston youth Patrick Baril began his DJing career in middle school under the moniker DJ Statik, which evolved into a successful career performing at parties and clubs throughout the east coast. After attending school for audio production engineering, DJ Statik changed his name to Statik Selektah (inspired by a local reggae act's unconscious muttering), and started his "ShowOff" Brand, which he still uses today. The brand began as ShowOff Marketing, which helped to promote clients such as G-Unit Records, Reeboks, and P. Diddy's notorious "Vote or Die" campaign in 2004 (hilarious South Park version). In 2006 the brand evolved into a record label, releasing Termanology's Out The Gate album, followed shortly by Statik Selektah's solo LP, Spell My Name Right: The Album in 2007.

Spell My Name Right boasts one of the most impressive guest roosters of any hip-hop album in the 2000s (rivaled perhaps by The Alchemist's Chemical Warfare). Included on the tracklist were: DJ Premier, Termanology, Styles P, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Consequence, Joell Ortiz, Kool G Rap, Sheek Louch, Freeway, Cassidy, DJ Khaled, Red Café, Mims, Uncle Murda, Jadakiss, Royce da 5'9", Cormega, Reks, Doug E. Fresh, Tony Touch, Scram Jones, Esoteric, Clinton Sparks, Big Shug, Lil Fame, AZ, Slum Village, Granite State, Evidence, The Alchemist, Skyzoo, KRS-One, and Large Professor - among others. The album included some of the best acts of the 80s (Doug E. Fresh, KRS), the 90s (Q-Tip, G Rap, Jadakiss, Preemo), and the 2000s (Royce, Evidence, Termanology). It even had DJ Khaled before he turned into a meme.

Highlight tracks: "6 in the Morning" (featuring Joell Ortiz, Kool G Rap & Sheek Louch), "Stop, Look, Listen" (featuring Styles P, Termanology & Q-Tip), "Punch Out!" (featuring Big Shug; great Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! sample), and "Got Me Goin' (Hip Hop)" (featuring Slum Village & Granite State), but everything on here is really worth listening to.

Statik would then release Stick 2 the Script in 2008, including many of the features from his first album, as well as adding M.O.P, Little Brother, Redman, and CL Smooth, among others. Highlight Tracks: "For the City" (featuring M.O.P. & Jadakiss), "On the Marquee" (featuring Little Brother, Joe Scudda & Chaundon), and "Take It All Back" (featuring Reks, Ea$y Money, Royce Da 5'9" & Paula Campbell). Here's a pretty good review of this album from before P4K went to shit.

Statik Selektah has released six phenomenal albums since then, all of which featured strong production, scratching, and feature performances. Each album deserves it's own write up, but for the sake of space I'll instead highlight something that Statik does exceptionally well (perhaps better than any other producer, IMO) across all these albums - his ability to bring together great, yet unique, collaborations between artists. Statik features a large range of artists on his projects, and the results are always great tracks made up of artists you wouldn't expect to see together. Some notable examples include:

"Groupie Love" (featuring Mac Miller & Josh Xantus)

"Black Swan" (featuring Nitty Scott, MC & Rapsody)

"Bird's Eye View" (featuring Raekwon, Joey Badass & Black Thought) (personal favorite Statik beat)

"21 & Over" (featuring Sean Price & Mac Miller)

"Camouflage Dons" (featuring Smif-n-Wessun & Flatbush Zombies)

"Carry On" (featuring Joey Badass & Freddie Gibbs)

"The Imperial" (featuring Action Bronson, Royce Da 5'9" & Black Thought)

"Alarm Clock" (featuring Ab-Soul, Jon Connor & Logic)

"Beautiful Life" (featuring Action Bronson & Joey Badass)

"Murder Game" (featuring Smif-n-Wessun, Young M.A & Buckshot)

"Scratch Off" (featuring CJ Fly, Talib Kweli & Cane)

"Legendary" by Joey Bada$$ (featuring J. Cole) (not from a Statik album, but a great collaboration he likely had a role in creating)

"But You Don't Hear Me Tho" (featuring The Lox & Mtume) (Mtume sample)

"Nobody Move" (featuring Raekwon & Royce da 5'9")

These albums are all filled with classic tracks and I encourage everyone to listen to them in full, but these songs represent some of the best artist collaborations he's created.

Not only are Statik's studio albums incredibly strong, he is also able to make phenomenal collaborative albums with rappers. Notable collaborative albums include: Lord Giveth, Lord Taketh Away (with Freddie Gibbs), Well-Done (with Action Bronson), TrillStatik (with Bun B), Gran Turismo (with Curren$y), Rudebwoy (with CJ Fly), as well as his 1982 series with Termanology, among others. Statik brings unique production for the artists he works with (heavy drums for Freddie Gibbs, smooth baselines for Curren$y, Jamaiican riddims for CJ Fly, etc.), highlighting his diversity as a producer.

Beyond his own albums, Statik Selektah boasts production credits across dozens of classic albums, beginning with Reks' Along Came the Chosen, for which he produced "Work" (feat. Lucky Dice, B. Knox, & Rip Shop), in 2001. He's worked extensively with Pro Era in the past, and played a critical role in developing their careers. Some of the artists who feature him on their albums include Nas, M.O.P, Styles P, Sean Price, Raekwon, Freddie Gibbs, Westside Gunn, and Wiz Khalifa, as well as many others. Most recently, Statik had production credits on Smoke DZA's Homegrown, for which he produced "Bank Withdrawal" (feat. Tish Hyman, Numberz) and "Union Dues" (feat. NymLo, Berner) - released on October 2, 2020. Here's a (near) comprehensive list of Statik Selektah's production discography - his output really is crazy, I definitely recommend checking this list out, he's produced for almost every major rapper of the 2000s and 2010s.

I'll end this post by highlighting Statik Selektah's impressive career as a DJ - both touring and on the radio. Statik Selektah has served as a DJ on tour for many acclaimed rappers, including Guru (RIP), Q-Tip, Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era, The Lox, and many others. He's performed in famous venues (such as The Boiler Room in London) and festivals (whatever festival this was filmed at, if you know pls drop it in the comments, cameos by The Alchemist, Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, and Schoolboy Q circa 2012-2013).

Statik began his radio DJing career in 1996 at the age of 14, spinning records at WPEA's radio station in a boarding school he did not attend. Since then, Statik has DJed and hosted eight radio shows nationwide, including his still-running 'Showoff Radio' program on the Eminem-fronted Sirius XM station Shade 45, run under his ShowOff brand (check out ShowOff's YouTube page here)

At the moment, Statik Selektah does a lot of promo on his Patreon, which I don't care to pay to subscribe to (though I've heard he posts good content there). His upcoming single, Keep it Moving featuring Joey Bada$$, Nas, and Gary Clark Jr. will be released this Friday, 10/16.

Mods pls don't take this down :)

Edit: Stick 2 The Script released in 2008, not 2009

Edit 2: Sent this to Statik and he posted it on his Twitter! Made my day! Everyone make sure to buy The Balancing Act when it releases!

Dr. Dre's estranged wife, Nicole Young, is being investigated by the LAPD for alleged embezzlement ... sources close to the case tell TMZ.

We're told Dre's business partner, Larry Chatman, recently went to the police and filed a report, claiming Nicole withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars from their business account without authorization ... something Larry had previously alleged in legal letters fired off to Nicole's side in the past few weeks.

Black Thought Denounces Trump and His Lies

Posted: 12 Oct 2020 02:49 PM PDT

Black Thought: https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0gbm6AyoR/?utm_source=ig_embed

It's part of a larger project.

Black Thought, Talib Kweli and Hamilton star Daveed Diggs are among those lending their voices to a new project denouncing Donald Trump.

Created by poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph, "45 Lies" is a national campaign using hip hop to take aim at the president. Joseph says he has never trusted politicians. Still, the first generation Haitian-American is alarmed over what he sees as "a climate of disinformation" that has ensued since Trump assumed the Oval Office.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Joseph talks about being inspired to launch the project about two weeks ago with the 2020 presidential elections looming in November.

"I really wanted to do something that implored artists, very specifically to organize around fighting back against the destabilization of our democratic institutions," he explained.

Bringing together rappers, poets and playwrights from across the country, the campaign enlists 45 lyricists to "each take 45 seconds to directly challenge one of [Trump's] blatant and dangerous falsehoods," according to the project's official website.

"45 lies SO incessantly "that we've become desensitized to his falsehoods, which inordinately impact the Black community," the project's mission statement reads. "Hip Hop culture contains the talent, the reach, and the credibility to 'battle' these lies, especially in time to encourage action and dynamic response during election season. #45Lies is an organized and viral campaign to hone and unleash our potential when democracy is literally on the line."

[DISCUSSION] The Game - Documentary 2 (5 Years Later)

Posted: 12 Oct 2020 02:17 PM PDT

Background

In 2015, in an interview with Power 106, The Game announced that the album was about 90% complete and once Dr. Dre gets back from his vacation, him and Dre would be finishing recording the album. The Game also said that his children were his motivation to finish the album, speaking about being confident on his growth as a rapper: "I listened to my first album and everybody thinks it's so amazing, but I think I'm better than that. I listened to it and heard all of the flaws of the young me, and I'm like, 'Man I would have never done this song like that today.'" According to The Game, Dr. Dre was excited about the album that he called The Documentary 2 would be the best rap album in five years. On July 21, 2015, The Game revealed that Diddy said The Documentary 2 is "his best album yet".

Recording and production

On April 12, 2015, The Game released a video, titled "The Making of The Documentary 2", and it shows him in the studio with Meek Mill, working on a song, called "Soundtrack". The video also features cameo appearances from Cool & Dre and Travis Scott. During the 2015's BET Awards on North Carolina's Power 98, The Game said that he has been working with these record producers such as Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell Williams, DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Jahlil Beats, Just Blaze, Scott Storch, and Mike Will Made It.[8] While The Game was spending the entire week in the studio with Kanye West, The Game stated that "You get a good solid week out of 'Ye if you have history." On July 6, 2015, The Game shared some footage of himself in the studio with DJ Mustard, Eric Bellinger, YG, Ty Dolla Sign, Bongo 'the Drum Gahd', Busta Rhymes and Keyshia Cole. The video features one of the snippets was a song with Game and Kendrick Lamar that was surfaced later. Joe Moses, Jay 305 and Skeme appeared in the video. Many sites posted possible track lists for the album, however, none of them were official. On July 21, 2015, The Game posted a picture of himself on the toilet, while recording a song for the album on his Instagram. Few days later, The Game posted another picture of himself working on another song with American R&B singer Tyrese, which he said that this collaboration would be on the album. The Game confirmed that Nas, Lil Wayne, E-40, Scarface, Busta Rhymes and YG would be featured on the second disc for the album, called The Documentary 2.5.
