Rock The Bells Rocked By Security

in
By Pete Richards (CHARTattack) July 6, 2009 4:27 pm
Rock The Bells '09 was a nine-hour event that brought some of hip-hop's biggest icons to the Molson Amphitheatre on a gorgeous day to be outside. The sun was shining. The music was good. Funny scents wafted through the air. And security was continually looking for new guests to throw out. Over-zealous security tried to spoil it for some....

RZA — Birth Of A Prince

in
By Andy Lee (CHARTattack) October 21, 2003 10:52 am
On his solo debut proper, the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA finally abandons his alter ego, Bobby Digital. "Don’t even call me Bobby no more/My name is Prince Rakeem," he asserts on "The Birth." Opener "Bob ‘N’ I" picks up where "Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)" left off, while the darkly orchestral "Chi Kung...

“Showbiz, there’s deals to make/So let’s get busy and dig in the crates” – Showbiz & AG, Diggin’ in the Crates...During one of my several aborted attempts to learn how to play punk, I read that all beginners need are E or D-major barre chords. Six of those, and you’re on your way to a song. These chords are a musical toolbox that generations...

I Fought The Law... For The Week Ending Feb. 4, 2011

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 4, 2011 3:10 pm
Okay, now this is just kind of silly: About 100,000 peer-to-peer lawsuits were filed in the U.S. last year, and most of the people being dragged to court are being accused of illegally downloading "adult" material. Really, who uses P2P downloading software these days, anyway? It's so 2003. —Torrent Freak Oh, don't you torrent users think you're...

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) September 5, 2008 2:55 pm
Though he may not be in the spotlight as much as your Kanye Wests or Lil Waynes, The RZA manages to keep himself busy with a multitude of projects, many of which have little to do with hip-hop. ChartAttack recently caught up with Prince Rakeem himself to discuss such non-musical aspects of his career, such as directing his own movies and being...

RZA Has More Freedom Solo

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) July 24, 2008 3:01 pm
Few figures in hip-hop command as much respect as RZA. For the past 15 years, the Abbott of the Wu-Tang Clan has maintained his reputation as an eclectic and enigmatic producer who far surpasses the Timbalands and Pharrells of the world. On RZA's most recent album, Digi Snacks, he returns to the Bobby Digital character he created 10 years ago and...

Sled Island: Day Three

in
By Trevor Morelli (CHARTattack) June 30, 2008 4:30 pm
CALGARY — Mewata Field hosted the final two days of the Sled Island music festival. Two stages covered the lush, green grass, making it easy for curious fans to wander back and forth. I got there in time to catch Elliott Brood's show, which I'd skipped out on the night before, on the side stage. The weather was still gorgeous at 7 p.m., and...
