Professor Griff (born Richard Griffin) was the minister of information for Public Enemy until June of 1989. He gave a controversial interview to The Washington Post that included comments deemed anti-Semitic by many. In the ensuing furor, Chuck D eventually fired him from Public Enemy and even briefly disbanded the group, only to re-form them. Griff formed his own band, the Last Asiatic Disciples. The results were mixed, the slant predictably Islamic and Afrocentric on efforts like 1998’s Blood of the Profit.

Il mito dell’hip hop old school made in U.S.A. arriva a Roma per
offrire uno spettacolo di puro groove in perfetto stile newyorkese:
un viaggio nella cultura musicale afroamericana nata sui marciapiedi
del ghetto tra la fine degli anni 70 e i primi anni 80.
A far gli onori di casa il duo Dj Baro/ Funk Pope, già protagonisti
delle passate edizioni del party Sweat Drops (AngeloMai, Circolo
degli Artisti, Muzak, Battle Of The Year) con il loro mix di funk,
soul, hip hop old school, rhythm&blues e grooves selezionati. La
consolle si preannuncia rovente e la serata assolutamente
imperdibile!

More Brilliant Than The Sun is a machine for travelling at the speed of thought, a probe for drilling into new levels of possibility space. ‘ Its mission is to undermine the concepts this present has of “Health” and “Culture” and to excite mockery and hatred against these hybrid monsters of concepts.’

Filmed and Directed by Pritt Kalsi. Here is the full film KOTB NYC 2010 featuring Casanova Rud, Minnesota Money Boss, Psycho Les (the Beatnuts) and TR Love from the Ultramagnetic M.C’s.
This is a film about cultural preservation. Digging Culture, Vinyl culture, Hip Hop culture. In this film some of Hip Hop greatest producers take on the challenge of digging in the crates with a budget of only $40 to find drums and grooves to sample to produce a beat.
This film gives you an insight in to the minds of how a hip hop producer works. what sounds inspire them. Buying records is a habit this is their passion.
As a film maker Pritt makes no money from his films. He is unsponsored and unfunded. All he asks is that support his work by visiting the site and purchasing a record or t-shirt. this is so that Pritt can continue to make these films.
The first single from this film is by Beatnuts Producer Psycho Les, only 300 pressed. support good hip hop. support a culture and movement. thankyou and enjoy.
