How it happened: The Product
Jul 20, 2010 music, real talk, session
whaddup y’all
Here’s another look into how the KOTR comes up with those hot records. Today’s edition is none other than the fan favorite “The Product” produced by Unc Mike. The craziest part of that classic record has to be the fact that the day we came up with, wrote AND recorded the record was the first day we met Unc Mike. Unc was a long time friend of mullaney so it was only natural that at some point those ingredients would get mixed up to see if we could cook up a hit. Unc bought a beat CD that had like 10 beats on it (for y’all, last song, the product, hand on the bible…) and as soon as we heard it we knew we had to get to work. In typical chief fashion before the rest of us scribbled down any rhymes he called his dibs on the hook. About an hour later we had completed the record that later became known as “the product”. The number one question we get asked about that record is: why’s it called the product? We don’t mention those words anywhere in the song… Well, it’s called that because it was the product of everything coming together perfectly. The right instrumental, the right chorus, rhymes that resonated with the listener. It was the product of Us. Keep In mind that before that day, there was no group or label called the KOTR…

World- Wide- What…?
Jul 16, 2010 General, Life, You Decide, music, real talk
* This is dedicated to the critics who [honestly] give it to us straight when we can’t trust our own judgement.
Life doesn’t really care if you’re a songwriter[rapper] who has to ask ”Alright tell me honestly, what do you think?”; after playing a new song or if you’re a cook asking “So, how was dinner?”; after the meal is done: a majority of us can relate to needing an outside opinion.
Or is it merely outside interest we seek? Some of us just need the attention. Still whether it’s some of us all of the time or all of us some of the time, the whole point is to get some one else to ask “what”, but for what?
While the internet has become a hunting ground for those who prey on our vices and abuse the gift of this world wide connection, we give out music at the click of a button with out the mock job applications you’re used to and show our appreciation of the gift of this world wide connection. Music, good music: is our answer to the world wide what.
What’s yours?*
*Sorry, I’m a rapper: I speak better than I write.
