D-Nice called himself "the TR-808" a lot Tbf he did say you could just call him d nice

so Pete Nice was named after a guy named after a drum machine, IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
― some dude, Friday, 11 May 2012 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
wait, there a d-nice and a pete nice? so confusedd
― diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Friday, 11 May 2012 14:34 (twelve years ago) link
Also I knew davy dmx but not human dmx
Though I think it's kinda weird for pete nice to drop it in there and have ppl not assume he's talking about DMX....dude had been around for awhile before he blew up, with that born loser stuff, but it's not out of the possibility that a really young dmx and just could have performed together

Edward III, it's ready to get them confused, just remember pete nice was the prime minister of canada at the the time and also rapped in the ny scene, camron and company did a concept album about his life called ”diplomatic immunity”

to be fair it was a Deadspin editor's job to clean this up, not Pete Nice's

Pete Nice probably forged the anecdote like he forges baseball memorabilia amirite

That's awesome, but they could not have picked a less MCA-centric track, bass aside.

The bass is that song though, ad much as the suspenders and mustaches.

I'm sure Yauch would rather these people spend some time reading up on Tibetan oppression or do a shift at a soup kitchen, but I'm not gonna deny people the opportunity to deal with his death in a way that makes them comfortable.

re: Sabotage not being Yauch enough--the video is the definitive Nathaniel Hornblower Production, so there's that
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Friday, 18 May 2012 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
"Sabotage" video is credited to Jonze, not Hornblower (whereas "Sure Shot" is credited to both)
― some dude, Friday, 18 May 2012 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, there's the misconception lately but it was definitely a Jonze video

When we were in Los Angeles, doing Paul's Boutique, he got this crazy apartment in Koreatown. And he made "A Year and a Day." What happened to the three of us together and all that crap? But I heard that track, and it was some heavy shit. He rapped his ass off. Adam bought a jet pilot's helmet, rigged it with a microphone and recorded the song wearing that helmet.
