Video: Peter Parker Interviews Muja Messiah on B96 (Feb 26th, 2009)

This video is from Muja's appearance on Parker's show last night at about 8:30 p.m. or so. The duo talk about many things, not the least of which was Parker's rant about local hip-hop. Parker also asks Muja about how he earned his success, to which Messiah answers that people need to be self-reliant. Muja Messiah also relates an anecdote about an encounter with Def Jam head Russell Simmons. Check it out at the top of the post. Oh, there's a freestyle too.

Peter Parker Rants About The State of Twin Cities Hip-Hop

If you've seen posts from either Muja Messiah or St. Paul Slim, then you've heard Peter Parker's rant about Twin Cities Hip-Hop.

Basically, it goes like this: Parker's mad at people who rag on him for not doing enough to support the scene, when, in fact--and he points to the middling attendance of the B96 Homegrown Showcase as evidence--Parker in his view does more for the scene that his supposed detractors do.

The so-called rant (I think it's more like spittin' the truth--if people complain about the lack of support you're giving, then don't show up to the events you throw that, oh, I don't know, support Twin Cities hip-hop, then that's bullshit, simple and plain) is now posted for all to listen on St. Paul Slim's MySpace page.

What do you all think of it? Check out video of Parker doing his thing at the top of the post.
