What's good Y'all? It's been a while since Me and Knoc did something for y'all on Raptalk. Shit, to keep it real before last night I hadn't spoke to Knoc in a month. He was doing shows in Europe and his phone wasn't working.
But he is back now and we are on schedule to start up once again. I just spoke to him for about 2 hours, just shooting the shit and he sharing some dope stories about Dr. Dre, Warren G and what not. By the way he was trippin over the Nate Dogg rumors, he was like "man Nate ain't dead!" so there u have that haha :D
Well in the time when we were just talking and shooting the shit, I came up with a little plan and wanted to get y'all take on it. "Knoc's Ville" his street album is dropping real soon and I been wanting to do a series on Raptalk called "In the Recording Studio With ..." for quite some time now, so why not start with Knoc?
The idea around the series would be me sitting down with the artist and going through the album, track by track with the artist explaining the song and just talking about how it came about and what not. It's pretty in-depth.
Do y'all want to see me do this with Knoc for "Knoc's Ville?"
-
Sounds like a great idea.
-
Not really. I think Knoc's cool and all, but I don't think that many people would be interested in it, not hating on Knoc, it's just an opinion.
You should do it with Soopafly. Sit down with him and have him go through Dat Woopty Woop track by track, then maybe do his "Bangin Westcoast" album. And if he has time, do one for his new EP as well. There are tons of Soopafly fans on this board.
BUT, if knoc's the only person you can get in contact with, it's better than nothing, so then go for it.
-
Sounds like a great idea.
Thanks!

i dont think its a good idea at all. theres always that shit before an album comes out where the rapper goes through it describing each song, only problem is hes trying to sell the album so its biased as fuck
-

this will be different. We already recorded half of it. It's not like Knoc is saying all this bullshit like "oh I love this song its a banger!" but more-so talking about how it came about and the creative process around it.
It'll be stuff that the fans like to hear, the stuff that goes on behind closed doors that we don't get to see happen, but we would love 2..
If you've followed any of the work I do with Knoc, you'll see it's all genuine and humble..

Haha man you must be confused. A lot people are interested in track by track breakdowns to get an idea where the influence for the song came from. You think he's just gonna sit there and be like track 3 is dope buy my album.
Yeah I think it would be a good idea, I can't wait to hear this album. Whens it dropping again?
-
^We got half of it recorded, we went through the first 7 tracks already. Me & Knoc will fuck around and record the rest a bit later today. I don't know when will drop it, maybe today if y'all lucky haha.
The album is coming out soon, maybe even late July.

Yes. If your insinuating I stole the idea from u, I never claimed this was a new idea, obviously it is not. That is 2-3 years old, I don't even remember u doing that. If u must know, I got the idea more from WordOfSouth because we do that and I work there but can't do with Knoc there because he aint southern.
-
I wasn't saying you stole the idea.. that wouldn't make no sense since i wasn't the first to do it, it's been done forever in magazines and such.. I was just giving an example of what you were talking about..

Oh ok, we good! Yea, like that! ;D
-
Me and Knoc are always open to suggestions, let us know what u want to see!
-
I'd be interested in this, go for it!
-

Oh it's a go, Knoc loved the idea.
just spoke to Knoc again, we did 3 more tracks. We have 10 done already! Just a few more, and the feature is a wrap 8) He'll call me back again soon and we gonna wrap up 8)
-
man you my man luna, you go ahead, it should be a dope read
-
Yeah do it, I always like those behind the album joints the source and xxl used to do...
-
K4L: It'll be dope ;D
Dub: Fantastic! it's almost done...
Me & Knoc will keep doing shit together to keep it innovative! Will get to answering more fan questions as well.

yes sir 8)
what do u think of the credits?
-
Well, Komplex produced a nice set of bangers for One-2 and J-Beam sounds promising as well.. some unknown names on there, but that doesn't mean it can't be dopeness.

Knoc loves Komplex beats so that explains the large bulk of Kompo beats
J Beam is a dope up and comer that is a direct Knoc protege - Plus he just produced a large amount of the new Tash "Control Freek" album
Knoc always been producing so u know what it is
MG is another producer who does a lot of work for Treacherous
I don't know about 51-50, but this track is banging
Dez is a dope producer u ain't heard of, but Knoc been fucking with him a lot. He's from Arizona and is basically along side J Beam as the MathMadix in house producers
Blaqthoven ain't new, Battlecat younger bro
DJ AK out in France always fucks with Knoc, this is a classic joint that is out anyways
-

All artists who have a small following, lol
Me & Knoc will keep doing shit together to keep it innovative!
Next time stick to the news before it happens. I would have loved to see Knoc-Turn'al live in concert.
-
^He didn't tell me. He had left and his phone wasn't working. He figured I could still call him while he was on tour and we could work like that.
What's funny about We? Me & Knoc put our heads together to come up with this stuff.
DJ AK works with a good amount of popular western artists
See my first point
As usual, Mau following me around being all negative :-*

Knoc & Crooked have stuff recorded together, you'll hear more Knoc/Crooked in the future. This is just the street album, you can more than likely expect to see Crooked on The Book of Knoc.

Well, there's your answer. Did you ever count the number of times Crooked I said his album is coming "this year" or "soon"? lol
-

The street album looks to be coming July 27th. Knoc wants to begin Book of Knoc promo with me about a week after the tape drops.

I can't wait for that street album. It doesn't have useless mixtape DJ's on it, right?
As for the album... I don't believe Treacherous will ever drop it.
-
Crook has been my favorite artist since death row so I'm immune to push backs by now ha ha
