Hello, Hello!
In this episode, Chris and Nick talk to David "D. Bird" Birdsall, the co-founder of the White Collar Rhymes Discord community. They discuss D. Bird's experience organizing a music project that brought together internet friends from around the world to create The Last Mixtape album and documentary in a mansion in Austin, Texas.
The conversation covers the challenges of filming the project, the distinct qualities of Northwest hip hop, the influence of artists like Atmosphere and Aesop Rock, and D Bird's thoughts on the use of AI in music.
We also talk about:
- The early days of DJing and its evolution as an instrument
- The impact of the recent rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar
- The importance of truth and verifiable claims in diss tracks
- The potential for AI to dominate certain music genres, like mid-level country
- The first hip hop film, "Wild Style," and the preservation of hip hop history
Enjoy!
