Following on from last weeks footage of the 3rd Bass reunion gig, I thought some of you might like this.
If
you appreciated 3rd Bass in
their heyday and have half an hour to kill, then let me recommend this
excellent interview with the Pete Nice to mark the 20 year anniversary of his solo album Dust to Dust. The
interviewer, Ryan Proctor, really gets into the detail during his
extensive chat with rap’s Prime Minister, and uncovers a
wealth of interesting history. Pete really opens up and reflects
on the formation of 3rd
Bass, the origins of the MC Hammer beef (which
was several years before either artist were
really famous), their
verbal attacks on the Beastie
Boys, who their original DJ
was (before Daddy Rich), the affiliate who coined
the term ‘Gas Face’ and plenty more
besides. This is one of those rare interviews that most artists never give.
Long time followers of FoaWP
will probably remember that 2 years ago I posted an incredible MC Serch interview that the P Brothers had conducted back in 2003. That interview gave by far the best insight
into 3rd Bass’ history, and this interview with Pete
Nice is the perfect compliment to
it, providing the counter balance that it deserves. If you haven't read the Serch interview, I highly recommend it as it's just as compelling 10 years later and goes over the history of Nas, O.C., Non Phixion etc.
