ConspiracyUK Radio w/ Vinnie Paz, Pharaohe Monch, Black Milk and King Magnetic

JMT

On this thunderclap-ridden opus of a show we have:

Jedi Mind Tricks messenger and underground hip hop saviour, Vinnie Paz, takes a rare but lengthy step away from making his new album with Ill Bill, to explain the science of his recent release. We dissect the album piece by piece, from his Cohen Brothers -inspired artwork, to the pains of having to drop tracks due to ignorant artists and sample clearance. Will there be another Jedi Mind Tricks album any time soon? Listen and find out.

Pharoahe Monch steps in to proudly announce the details of his new album W.A.R., released on Duckdown Records on September 14th. This is as careful and methodical as you would expect from hip hop’s most diligent vocalist. We explore wider socio-political issues such as the Oscar Grant case, Pharoahe’s awe and admiration of the Duckdown team and artists and much more in an in-depth, 30 minute excavation of knowledge. Hip hop don’t miss this.

Black Milk is a traveling man. He has an album entitled ‘Album Of The Year’ set to drop on September 14th and is with us on the show to explore the Detroit hip hop scene, the demise of Slum Village as a group and much more in a lively and awe-inspiring chat with hip hop’s most electric. We hear of his passion to work with D12 and how, despite having the opportunity, he didn’t submit beats for Eminem‘s Recovery album.

King Magnetic drive in, free hard copies of his album/mixtape in hand to give away to listeners who can answer the question he sets. *This competition will be open until July 23rd*. We discuss the imminent might of his solo album, the reception he receives from the hip hop community and his plans to expand his ever-growning and ever-changing fanbase in 2011.

Keep Movin’ On: A Portrait of Vinnie Paz (Part 1 of 3)

The imaginative collaboration between Jedi Mind Tricks frontman Vinnie Paz and longtime CKY/Jackass/Viva La Bam/Bam’s Unholy Union accomplice Joe Frantz team up once again to present viewers with a rare and in-depth look into the mind of Mr. Paz, through a behind-the-scenes experience of Vinnie’s latest video: “Keep Movin’ On (featuring Shara Worden).”

“Keep Movin’ On” features a unique cast of stars, including Philadelphia icon Tony Luke Jr. (producer, star of The Nail and Invincible), Scott Vogel (lead singer of the legendary hardcore band Terror) and the stunning Gina Lynn (the “Julia Roberts” of the adult film world). “Keep Movin’ On” tells the story of struggle; both lyrically and visually, in three separate vignettes. Tony Luke Jr. plays the part of a down-and-out factory worker losing his luck, his job and his home, while Vogel portrays a U.S. Marine and Iraq veteran mourning the loss of his leg and his faith in the ideals for which he served. Adult superstar Gina Lynn plays Vogel’s hometown girlfriend, and featured vocalist Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) appears as a hauntingly melodic chanteuse, garbed in the grainy costume of an early 20th century vamp.

In this new feature, rapper Vinnie Paz is seen like never before. Frantz eschews the typical “behind the scenes” formula in favor of bringing the viewer into Paz’s world. We are treated to the sights and sounds of Vinnie in his element: training with a heavy bag in a dingy basement gym, at the bar with his fam, throughout the streets of his hometown. Throughout the footage there are spots of unexpected humor interspersed with serious discourse on the nature of inspiration. This “Behind-The-Scenes/Reality Feature” does not skimp on the presence of its stars Tony Luke Jr., Scott Vogel, and Gina Lynn, who add personality, humor, and insight. The persona and music of Shara Worden are explored, as is her friendship and collaboration with Paz. And yes, director Joe Frantz provides his obligatory Jackass-esque behind-the-scenes pranks, antics, and stunts (just wait ’til you see what Scott Vogel went through to make his cameo role come to life!).

Frantz, know for his innovative technique and flawless eye, has also served as both producer and cinematographer for all of the classic Bam Margera music videos (HIM, CKY, Clutch, Viking Skull, The 69 Eyes, etc.) and subsequent reality/making-of features which have sculpted the face of the alternative European music scene for the past decade. Utilizing a mixed media technique, Frantz has created a hybrid of slick-looking hi-definition, grainy super-8 film, 16-millimeter motion picture stock and still photos (not to mention archival footage of Vinnie shot on video formats long forgotten).

This feature creates a multi-tiered presentation of artistry and the philosophy of creation. Playing out more like a documentary than an actual “making of” video, Frantz and Paz tell more than just the story of how a single video was shot. Through an amazing blending of past, present and future, the story of one of Hip Hop’s most respected artists is told.
