Sorry ZiP, you're the only one whos ever heard of them.

2/3/2006 2:14:00 AM

No, the thought of RJD2 live definitely gives me a boehner.

2/3/2006 2:14:53 AM

well....it's pretty much the same as listening to his album at home...only it's not at home, it's louder, and you actually get to see him play.

well, you might get to hear some unreleased tracks too.

just dont try to talk to him after the show. he'll only be paying attention to the ladies. can't really blame him though.

2/3/2006 3:16:40 AM

How much "playing" does he actually do?

I'm thinking of going.

2/3/2006 7:05:51 AM

Every time I've seen him, he's had 4 tables up there. It's pretty impressive watching him mix that many tracks at the same time.

He also usually does some concert-only stuff. One time he did a pretty cool mash-up of video game songs. it was cool.


on another note, the RJD2 + acey album is pretty dissapointing. The new Soul Position coming out soon should make up for it though.

^^^ idk what you are talking about dude. i talked to rj for a while after the two def jux show a few years back and he was real chill, maybe he just didnt like you

^ the album is dissapointing? surely you jest. I've got the first single and this is fiya! like the name of the song and have the album coming in the mail so i am looking foward to it. and expect it to better than the new soul poisiton album. i've liked Acey since FF and better than blueprint

i missed the show in feb, but i did catch him live tonight (at the Guggenheim in NYC), and snapped the following shots.

he's a really nice guy - i talked with him a little, and he signed my messenger bag

yeah, thatd be cool to see, zip.
but that album is so bland.

4/8/2006 12:50:50 PM

I saw RJ a few years back, he puts on a good show. Catches records on fire and shit. Very dope. He mashes songs up really good, his cuts are not as impressive but still very ill.

4/8/2006 12:52:06 PM

I took that album back to Schoolkids

still <3 RJ though.

4/8/2006 7:00:31 PM

that album is nice fools

4/8/2006 9:05:19 PM

no

haha, nice

I'm embarrassed to say that I've only known of RJD2 for 2ish years

he seemed to hang on some tracks a little too long towards the end of his set --

but it was good that he showed a little love for Diplo, that kid might go places

what are good rjd2 albums i can get?

4/9/2006 5:29:18 PM

I'd suggest, in this order:

#1 Deadringer
#2 Since We Last Spoke
#3 Your Face or your Kneecaps
#4 The Silver Album

#3 and #4 are harder to get, and may not be as satisfying to ya as the #1 and #2 which are polished, solid full releases.

thx

4/9/2006 9:33:03 PM

nice pics, ZiP


what kinda camera you rockin'?

4/10/2006 3:18:35 PM

^thanks man!

its a Nikon D50

-ZiP!-

4/11/2006 9:31:35 AM

fuck, RJD2 did the beat for Cunninglynguists' "Seasons"? That explains why its about the tightest thing on any of their albums.

im not hating on their lyrics, but, i don't yet understand the latest album at all, in terms of production

scott herron>rjd2
discuss.

4/30/2006 12:48:59 AM

I agree wholeheartedly.

seeing them both live, Scott was definitely better. Prefuse73, Piano Overlord, Delarosa and Asora... I heart.

Docido and i hit up the One Be Lo and Soul Position show on Friday. here are some shots:

One Be Lo (aka One Man Army of Binary Star):

f/stop = 2.0 lens = fixed 50mm shutter speed = not sure

RJD2 (of Soul Position, Blueprint is not pictured here):

f/stop = 1.8 lens = fixed 50mm shutter speed = not sure

RJD2 was great in K Pax

5/29/2006 4:17:05 PM

i was definitely disappointed with Soul Position. however, One Be Lo put on a great show!

5/29/2006 5:49:09 PM

I don't like the Soul Position shit at all.

It's boring.

uninspired.
