Paradime, Buff1, Black Milk and others speak on Detroit’s best spots for Live Hip Hop

Tom Matich speaks with several Detroit area emcees about live hip hop in Detroit in a recent article for Real Detroit. Check out the article for opinions from Paradime, Buff1, Phat Kat, Black Milk, Lazarus, Claymore of Dubphonics and others.

The artists are asked if Eminem should buy St. Andrews Hall.

Should Eminem cop St. Andrew’s ?
Lazarus: “St. Andrew’s has always been the spot in Detroit for hip-hop. I can only see this as making it even more legendary and popular amongst people who are not so familiar with the Detroit hip hop scene.”
K-Fresh: “It could be great. He could do some real good for our city’s dying hip-hop scene if he does it right. Sponsoring hip-hop showcases and creating a more hip-hop club atmosphere outside the bounds of mainstream music are possibilities. St. Andrew’s is an important place for Detroit to experience up and coming and mid-level artists and bands of all genres. Its relevance in Detroit has fallen off so much in recent years, but with his influence, he could step outside his own world and help make Detroit’s music scene much more vibrant.”
Phat Kat: “I think that’s a good look that Em is trying to purchase a historic Detroit hip-hop landmark. Now, that’s what’s up.”
Black Milk: “I think that’s dope. Just so it won’t get shut down or turn into something different.”
Claymore of Dubphonics: “About time. Damn. We need Em to bridge the gap between the streets and the ‘mainstream’ rap and hip-hop in Detroit.”

Memories of Maurice Malone’s Hip Hop Shop

Biba Adams at the Michigan Citizen takes a stroll through Detroit Hip Hop history and brings us memories of Maurice Malone’s Hip Hop Shop from some of its alumni.

Here are memories from DJ Dez and Elzhi.

DJ Dez (Slum Village) - One of my fondest memories is just DJ’ing at the shop, when rappers were still rapping over spontaneous instrumentals. That is almost a lost art form now. The people that came from there are successful and are key players in the game in one way or another. As long as Proof’s name is mentioned and his legacy remains, people will always remember the Hip Hop Shop. The Hip Hop Shop was home for us. It was ours. When I see the movie 8 Mile, it’s a feeling to know that I played a part in that history being made.

Elzhi (Slum Village) - The Shop was the first place I heard “The Look of Love” (from Slum Village’s first album Fantastic Vol. 1). DJ Head played it and everybody just went wild. The legacy lives on because it was a place that was pure. The early 90’s was one of the golden era’s of hip hop in general. It wasn’t just mainstream or commercial, it was all about the music. The people that were in there, and that came there, were there for the love.
