what it do be kids.
on a rare "phenetiks thursday"
roc and pro are busy little phenetiki writing to "sentence structure" so we can wrap that jam up.
in my spare time, i decided to start another re-occuring blog giving you some little known, pointlessly useful knowledge on the entire history of us and then some.
so, if you ready....here we go.
1992bass funk
waaaaaaaaayyyyy back when...
when myself, deto-22 was known as "j-funk" (insert your laughter here)
myself and… Continue
well...in the cover)
HERE'S HOW!
1. take a good look at the album cover below
2. find yourself a pair of these sunglasses. (you know, the 80's "po-po" style)
3. take a photo of yourself in said pair of shades looking as fresh as you wanna.
4. email said photo to phenetiks@gmail.com
this starts now and ends when enough have been accumulated.

jola!
tonight, i'm mixing down one of theProtege's joints called "nothing"
believe you me...it's DOPE!
i have the craziest effect over.....with the ....when it plays...ahhhh
it's too hard to explain on paper.
you'll just have to hear it.
after tonight, i'll only have one more track to do..."sunshine"
which is the song i've been dreading. (in a good way)
shit loads of vocal snippits between 6 8-bar verses
adlibs, the many peices of sircumferences first part...AND the elusive 2nd part.… Continue
upon this being brought up last night...
why, when we (phenetiks) or any of the afa do a show with other "local" artists...
we're mostly, if not all present on the floor in front representing, and supporting you.
yet, on the occasions we've all done "local" venues together...
you rock, then very promptly take youselves and your "fans" out of the building?
this is extremely rude, and counter-productive to what we're all inevetably trying to accomplish.
in the event you came to our home town...… Continue
tacos!
so last night on the famed "phenetiks mondays"
theProtege recorded "counting"
which would be the first section of a three song medley called:
"the breaks monotonous medley"
-counting
-fingers
-perspective
after performing "fingers" and "perspective" this past friday at the dope ass show @ the brass horse...
we're hopin' to add "counting" to the live rotation.
so yeah.
chugging along.
stay tuned Continue
Hello again, I'm back for another bitch slap on the "Game". I hope at this point everyone who is so kind enough to read this blog gets the fact that I am complaining about all the things that are wrong with hip hop so that we may correct them and revolutionize… Continue
yowza yowza yowza.
yeah.
well last night was a dope session.
protege laced sum' lovely on what's tentatively being titled "spontinuity"
and roc has started penning for that as well.
and a major revamp, for the "intro" occured. with a re-write, a re-title, and the dispelling of the original idea for it.
all should be recorded for this joint next monday.
also, the long awaited "fingers" video will be done shortly!
right snare?

cr killers.mp3
this is a new "edible", but this one has words...thus the title.
inspired by random things like the following:
sketch- and his "exercise" verses
quest- and his sword pictures
phenetiks- and our impromptu performance of "kill your radio" at etc3
enjoy
i got to much time to kill...
someone, get me a gun and fire at will,

which is currently in final editing stages with our good friend snare!
he's busy finishing up quest's vid first,
and ours will be done after.
it's dope. i've seen it. Continue
Great interview. I'm always awed by the artistry of engineering. Like Hawl, I'm just a rapper, but the process of mixing and the ear that the engineer brings to a project to make the vocals pop and the vocals and the beat mesh has always intrigued m…
I hate everything about this guy....No not you Nasa, Kim Jong Il. Haha. Fantastic work by Sketch. Nasa is one of the most interesting cats I've come across on the indie scene. His discog is about 3 pages long, but you wouldn't know it unless you're…
