THIS IS REPRINTED FROM AN E-MAIL SENT AROUND BY NASA FROM UNCOMMON RECORDS
What’s up everyone? For those that don’t know, news has come down that hip-hop & graffiti pioneer The Rammellzee has unfortunately passed away.
While I didn’t know him personally, I had the rare treat of a sit down audio interview with him for my podcast, Uncommon Radio in early 2007. We talked about the beginnings of hip-hop, the evolution of his career and played a bunch of his music including some stuff that was not released at the time. He also dropped a super abstract freestyle at the end of the show.
I’m proud to have gotten the chance to talk with him and with him gone now, I thought this would be a good way for younger generations to now find out more about him.
peace, nasa.

I also wrote a blog post about my day with him doing the show here: http://www.uncommonmusic.net/theprogblog/2010/6/30/my-day-with-the-rammellzee-rip.html

[I] didn’t know that much about Rammellzee other than that [I] really dig the K-Rob record above but NASA’s e-mail was so passionate that [I] think it deserves to be seen by a wider audience [Glass Rock Life, up to 6,000 hits a day! -ed]
A mystery poster has been dancing around Glass Rock Life, regaling us with tales of the avant and pictures of freedom. If you know who this man is, please notify us immediately. These photos offer clues. They are currently the only surveillance work that exisits.
Sir Lancelot Link, former mixing candidate for Glass Rock II, has responded to monkey versus frog: “This certainly doesn’t mean that all monkeys are like this. I cannot defend the actions of this monkey but I can say that a broad view of monkeys must be taken into consideration. Also this coat doesn’t mean I am a flasher on the last car of the A train or 7 train. Also, my iPhone tells me what times trains are approaching.” [that 7 train link has to be the biggest example of "It's not my fucking business, I'm trying to get somewhere-New York" ever captured.

The band that brought you “I Won’t Take It Back” and “Possession” enjoyed discussing this video. Please be advised this contains graphic footage -GRL attorney Saul Goodman
It is impossible to wander around for a clip or image of Garry Shider and not get lost, enthralled, and fascinated. So here is a pretty germain but heartful obituary to state the facts and get on with it RIP to Garry Shider .
Really interesting article about Robert Johnson stolen from Vampire Blues reposted from Guardian saw Ferris pass out at 32 flavors. “This article reminds me of when I listened to Just Ice’s Put That Record Back On at 33 rather than 45 this weekend and had no idea for about 1:30,” says Glass Rock bass maven Matt, fresh outta rehab. People have also been saying Robert Johnson’s name at the wrong speed as well. Rather than Robertjohnson it should be said Robert -pause- Johnson. Good luck.
