Runescape Run Energy Update 6-9-09
February 22nd, 2008 | Author: admin
Today introduced several run energy updates in RuneScape. I, Yopper77, decided to make a montage of several of the new musicians that might not be seen as often as other musicians. This is a great update in my opinion. Sorry I couldn’t get the song of each of the bard, I couldn’t get good sound quality. At the end I show how fast your energy is restored from 0 when listening to a musician. In order of appearance, here are the musicians in this video: 1. Musician south of Ardougne, northeast …

Exclusive Dirty Red Interview
February 17th, 2008 | Author: admin
1. How did you come up with the nickname Dirty Red?
I was in the studio with Eazy-E and we were about to record the promo commercial for the Ruthless Radio Show and I was doing the intro for it. The name “Red” I had since I was a little kid because of the light skin and the hair color…The “Dirty” part came along in my late teen years when I was doing a lot of things in the streets to get ahead…so I decided to put the 2 nic names together and I introduced myself as Dirty Red for the Ruthless Radio Show.
2. What motivated you to become a rapper?
My motivation came along in the mid 1980’s when Run DMC and The Fat Boy and L.L. CooL J did the movie “Krush Groove”…after I watched that movie I decided that’s what I wanted to do.
3. A few words about Compton legend Eazy E you knew personally…
Eazy -E was a real down to earth person…He always said what he felt and didn’t care if you liked him or didn’t like him for it…he is and was a true friend and he deserves to be called a legend.
4. Define your music within a few words…
My music is hardcore street rap…nothing more nothing less.
5. According to you, did NWA’s musical revolution change ethnic minorities ‘ conditions in the ghetto? At least, did it increase people’s awareness of the discrimination black men and other minorities were facing there?
N.W.A definitely paved the way for West Coast rap and street rappers to have an open door to express the experiences we face everyday in the hood…they definitely talked about things that had never been talked about on records before…they are the real pioneers on the West Coast.
6. What is the biggest challenge you had to face since you started rapping?
The biggest challenge I’ve had to face I would say is the learning of the industry…very few people in this industry will tell you how to be successful and how to conduct your business…alot of the learning comes from paying dues.
7 Which artists have you collaborated with already?
Ive done music with Eazy-E , Above The Law , Kokane , B.G. Knocc Out and Dresta The Gangsta…I’ve worked with Madness 4 Real…Julio G and Tony G…Rhythm D…D.J Uneek and I’m collaborating with a few artists on my new mixtape “Steet Heat Volume 2″.
8. Which artist(s) (underground or mainstream) have earned your full respect-and why?
I have a certain respect for artists that carry themselves for who they are…I can’t seem to get into any artist that acts or pretends to be like somebody else…example…when fat gold chains were the thing…all rappers wanted to wear a fat gold chain…now its the “bling” watches…I’m not into following what everybody else does or says…just be you!…so to answer your question…right now on the Westcoast Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg hold it down as far as the mic…Dr. Dre with the production….on the East Coast I’d say JZ holds it down on the mic.
9. Old School or new school- where goes your preference?
I’m down with the old school for sure.
10. Your music is rich of that unique Ruthless flavor…according to you, is it an advantage to be from LA? If so, why?
I wouldn’t say its an advantage…but here in L.A we have a real thing in the streets…Im not sure where it was born or when…but its definitely a code in the streets of Southern Cali.
11. What inspires you most to write your music?
I get inspired by a lot of different things…but mostly just life and the different events, past and present.
12. . A few words about your Street Heat CDs…
Street Heat vol. 1 was recorded in San Bernardino in 2004 after I had put the mic down after Eazy died…I hadn’t recorded in years…so I just wanted to get back into the studio and record some songs to get that feeling again…I released a few copies just to the homies in the hood…people started hearing that I had recorded some stuff and they wanted to hear it so I re-released it in 2006…Now I am just finishing up Street Heat vol.2 so I can give people the real Dirty Red and Real Ruthless music.
13. From a personal point of view, gangsta rap is truly one of my fave genres inside of rap music.
Do you think that gangsta rap can and will help people understand better the living conditions of the ghetto, and even change some stereotypes?
I don’t think gangster rap will change anything in the ghetto’s. Things will always be the same in the hoods…that’s just the way the world is set up…but I do believe that gangster rap sheds a light on situations in the ghetto so people will look at it a little closer and people do listen to the stories and experiences that we face in the hoods.
14. The Westcoast seems to be boiling at the moment with the return of dope rappers such as BG Knocc Out, his brother Dresta and the participation of Lil Eazy, Hood Surgeon and others to the Westcoast’s revival…what or who was the detonator that motivated people to work together for a strong return of Westcoast sounds?
I dont know who set it off for the Westcoast to reunite…in my opinion the West Coast was always united…EAZY-E and DR. DRE had a beef at some point but men they worked things out and dealt with it…The West Coast has never gone away…I don’t know why people say “Bring the West back”…The West has been here all the time.

HARLAN HOWARD-HELLO THERE, STRANGER

labor while writing songs and pushing his finished material. Eventually he sold some of his compositions and, after a few minor successes, his song, Pick Me Up on Your Way Down, recorded by Charlie Walker, went to No. 2 on the country music charts in late 1958. A year later Ray Price had a major country hit with “Heartaches By The Number”; simultaneously a pop version of the song performed by Guy Mitchell went to No. 1 on the Pop Charts. Buoyed by these two major hits, Howard moved to …

Beyond Fallen Band Interview
February 14th, 2008 | Author: admin
Beyond Fallen, the latest NEPA area band to be signed to a major record label, has a lot going on right now and has struggled a great deal to get to where they are. There aren’t many true metal bands in Pennsylvania (ask any struggling metal band), yet the band has received an ever-growing amount of recognition, locally and internationally. “Our approach at songwriting and our style clearly sets us apart locally because nobody else plays true metal – so it’s like running in an election unopposed, …though there are other bands in the world doing stuff like us.”
Like many others before them, the band started by playing a few cover songs to find their own sound and style. They soon recorded their first EP, and then their first full-length CD, “Lost in the Shadows,” by 2005. The European metal scene took notice instantly, leading to a spot on Headbanger’s Open Air Festival and eventually signing to Melissa Records.
The Netherlands label specializes in bringing metal from the US to Europe and the rest of the world, the band explains. Beyond Fallen has recorded a new album, “Mindfire” under this label, and it will be released internationally very soon. “I was given total creative freedom in designing the art and layout for Mindfire and the image and concepts for this album – and of course nobody told us how to write our songs. The creative freedom is important. It helps to have the financial backing to continue the band, because on this level it gets very expensive if you try to do it all yourself. I don’t think it’s just a coincidence that our label is from The Netherlands – one of the most liberal nations on the planet. We are an open-minded bunch, quite diverse in our musical backgrounds, and personal beliefs as well, so it’s a great fit to be on this label.”
Metal fans are sure to appreciate the new album, “Mindfire.” As singer Joe explains, “If you like metal, you will dig it. We don’t follow trends, we write songs we think are good – that we’d like, and if other people like it great.”
Things are certainly heating up for this NEPA metal band, and the guys are very appreciative. “It’s been a long, hard uphill battle, but through determination and being true to what we believe we managed to break out of Northeastern Pennsylvania.”
Though the band has struggled locally in the past, we’ve personally witnessed local bands in awe and admiration of Beyond Fallen, and we’re sure that will continue in the future. Does Beyond Fallen have any advice to other bands looking to get signed?
“I hope perhaps more bands from our area will see what we are doing and be inspired to try and do the same. There’s more out there than just the bar scene in Northeast PA.”
