Pep Love “Hip Hop My Friend” from Northbound Films on Vimeo.
Great to see that Pep Love of the Hieroglyphics camp is doing his thing. Outstanding tune with a these days rare and powerful soul feel to it and a proper boom bap slap. Pep is someone i consider a friend, an earnest and humble guy with a very good vibe to him, no negativity whatsoever. Check out Pep love @ the Hieroglyphics website
I did a track with that man & Planet Asia that kinda blew up all over, which was well almost a decade ago :) hahaha, man time flies when you are having fun, and actually i did a couple of tracks more that i never played for him – one in particular was pretty strong with a flipped chick corea sample, a full instrumentation by a lot of renowned soul and jazz musicians. Just heard it the other day in my club on the new Soundsystem and it still has a serious punch and vibe to it. I’ll upload it tomorrow, think you all are gonna like that one and Pep in particular (i’ll send you the link)! Good to see you are alive and kicking my man! I enjoy the tune a lot and you stick to being a fine wine :)
i found this yesterday night via Reddit via Redditor Captain Psyko (you made my day!) and was blown away. I am listening to this for the (must be) 1oth time or so at a video length of 13+ min! I have to share this with all of you. since this is the exact original live recording of purple rain, that made it on the album (in a shortened version), i didnt even know it was live. Pls read these comments. Excuse my (copy & paste) french :) Prince is/was/will be a genius in my book in all eternity.
From the YouTube comments:
In case you all don’t know this IS the original live recording of the ALBUM VERSION. This is not some random live recording. This exact recording is what you hear on Purple Rain sans the 2nd chorus and 3rd verse which he took out. There are also some string quartet overdubs and edits to the guitar solo. But the vocal track is the exact track on the album. Love it. One take. LIVE.
And, from Wikipedia comes confirmation:
The song was recorded during a benefit concert for the Minnesota Dance Theatre at the First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis on August 3, 1983. The performance was guitarist Wendy Melvoin’s live debut with The Revolution, at age nineteen. City Pages described the 70-minute performance as Prince’s “sweatiest and most soulful hometown concert yet”, and drummer Bobby Z stated, “it certainly was one of the best concerts we ever did”.[2] The concert was recorded by David Rivkin using a mobile recording unit brought in from the Record Plant in New York City, staffed by engineers Dave Hewitt and Kooster McAllister.[3] The basic tracks for three songs were used on the Purple Rain soundtrack: “Purple Rain”, “I Would Die 4 U”, and “Baby I’m a Star”. Prince performed overdubs and re-recorded the vocals while working at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles from August–September 1983. A solo and verse from the original recording were edited out, changing the length from eleven to eight minutes.[2] The extra verse was about money, but was removed because it diluted the emotional impact of the song.[citation needed]
Holy. Shit.
