No I.D. – D.I. On Classics ‘92 – ‘11 [Mixtape]

Download: No I.D. – D.I. On Classics ‘92 – ‘11 When the announcement was made that Def Jam was hiring No I.D. as the VP of A&R, it was a moment of personal satisfaction. For starters, like No I.D., I am from the Chicagoland area and it’s refreshing to see an often forgotten city in the three coast (East, West and Gulf) Hip Hop sphere have one of its most enduring and brightest stars get some much-deserved shine. Aside from my apparent bias, No I.D. is a producer from an era -and ideology, for that matter- long gone in Hip Hop; but, he’s making commercially viable music and is arguably busier than ever in his career. He started at a time where a producer produced all or at least a vast majority of an artist’s album (see Common’s first three albums No I.D. produced for a reference). Similar to how DJ Muggs influenced Alchemist and bridged a gap between “old” and “new,” it was partly his mentoring, tutelage and talent that inspired No I.D.’s student, Kanye West, who took what No I.D. had been doing and introduced it to a global audience. Not letting his ego hamper the development of Kanye, Mr. West’s career took off! Don’t get it confused, though, No I.D. was not off the radar at this time as he teamed up with Jermaine Dupri and was co-producing records for Bow Wow and Jay-Z. After the American Gangster project, Kanye and No I.D. have joined forces once

I got the chance to speak with Machine Gun Kelly- We spoke about a lot of topics like his first trip to Las Vegas, his insanely loyal fan base, people getting MGK tattoos, artists w/ bigger platforms taking credit for stuff, Kid Cudi’s statement about MGK and how he feels about having someone from Cleveland not co-sign him, people comparing him to Yelawolf, bringing the “rock and roll” mentality to hip hop, his influences outside of hip hop, Diddy’s horrible track record with other artists, the infamous flash mob and how it transpired, his verse on the BET cypher and how many takes it took for him to nail it, he defines “raging”, and much more- check it out!!
