Track 8 – Intermission F/ Peter Hadar

like i said before, i used to think this was apart of the alleye need beat because of how they seemed to blend on the beat tape. when this was “part two” it turned into this kind of sung chant freestyle jam. id wrote a whole song that was sung, it wasnt verses as much as it was 3 hooks. kind of like that singing joint on mos def’s first album. (i dont have the tracklisting right now sue me) i thought it was the coolest thing ever, especially after i sent it to ragen fykes and she not only liked it but thought i could even sing a little!!!!!! (i was gassed haha)

I had no plans of really singing it, so we’d got peter hadar to come in and mess around with it. at that time the idea
changed because we’d realized we didnt have a song that really drove home the point that brooklynati was this fake city we lived in. this track then became a commercial for the town, almost like a commercial youd see on local tv advertising a new gated community or something like that. i did the album sequencing, and i still operate on a “side a/ side b” mindstate, so plan b was the end of the first half of the album and without you begins the second half, or “side b”. this was the tape being flipped over.

and for those that dont know, thats don doing the voice of dj jurx!
