Automator on the fader....

I purchased the new issue of FADER magazine because it has one of the best articles i've ever read on hip hop. It's an article called "Hip Hop's untold stories". It is accompanied by stunning black and white photos from New York's hip hop scene in the 80's and has some great stories. Two that I found interesting were Mase from De La Soul telling how the whole Native Toungues crew formed and one about how Old Dirty Bastard did a cover of "Suspicious Minds" for an Elvis tribute album, but Elvis's estate thought it was distasteful and dreadful so they didn't use it. Great article!
