In advance of the Good Life Reunion show this evening, I spoke with Myka 9 of legendary Good Life linchpin, Freestyle Fellowship. It wasn’t one of the best interviews I’ve ever done–Myka blew me off after 15 minutes to go eat lunch, and never called back. However, the dude gets a free pass, considering in his prime, he was one of the most fierce MC’s to ever emerge from this weird wormhole.
Tonight’s lineup is staggering: Myka, Busdriver, Cut Chemist, Chali 2na, Abstract Rude, Volume 10, Rifleman Ellay Khule, Busdriver, many more. Really, only Aceyalone, Self Jupiter, and P.E.A.C.E. are missing–substantial absences sure, but maybe they’ll roll through at the last minute. Elementary primer below–highly recommended to any Good Life neophytes and Kombucha afficianados.

The documentary in question is really quite good.

Thanks for posting the original “Pistol Grip Pump”! For some reason, it’s incredibly hard to find online (compared to RATM’s cover version). But it’s still bangin’!
