Download the show and interview (34:07)
Here is a taping of A.G. from D.I.T.C. in a 1999 appearance on Pete Rock & Marley Marl's Future Flavors radio show, promoting his first solo album, The Dirty Version. In this interview these 3 greats of hip hop exchange compliments toward each other's legacies and give opinions on the proper direction of hip hop music, it's a great thing to hear and learn from. A.G. kicks some rhymes from the album along with the late Party Arty. I taped the whole show as well as the interview, so you'll hear some hip hop gems of the late 90's spun by Pete in the audio like Ed O.G., Rah Digga, Killah Priest and more.
The combination of legendary producers Diggin' In The Crates and Pete Rock filled a void left in the late 90's as the true perception of hip hop art and culture became somewhat overshadowed by an emerging mass media industrial force. As hip hop became more commercial and imbalanced with lure of money and fame in media, a brother like A.G. stuck to the roots from which the culture was born and provided music which felt more genuine on The Dirty Version and many other independent D.I.T.C. releases.
