A while back, KevinNottingham had a post describing a sucker trying to be bigshot, yanking about how much he hates Charles Hamilton and that this chump should be promoted more.. So he wrote Kevin and this made Kevin respond in his manner... Up for discussion and this dude wouldnt let go and did even pretend to be two of his girlish friends... His joint are lousy and sounds like Divine style on a bad day, so I had to step up in this, backing my main man up.. So I flipped a quick joint with his own complaining voice from Youtube and Guru and Tim Dog telling this wiener to know his place and shut up... I then decided to make a video quick and so I did... Now, what I didnt expect was this loser to grasp my profile and take some private pics of my children, copy them to his computer and throw them through photoshop, you fucking pervert..
Now Ive reached a forkin the road... The first is full of ideas to release some tensions and cut some vocals in on some beats and make UFO look dumb.. Now he's looking dumb now, but I still need release....
The second road is to ignore him, dont respond to anything other than to report his video to myspace and let the sucker live....
So for now, imma let you look at the cover, while I make beats and salute the King of Pop...
It's amazing - Im one of the chosen ones in the nest round of finalists in the contest over at Illroots.com.. My man S.T.T.R.E.S.S. and Remot are there along with me and 22 others, but its great to pass the first round..

I don't mean to leave you hanging for so long, but getting a job and doing other thing besides producing is felt thru not writing here, nor being behind the panels as nuch as I wanted...
So here's a whole lot of super joints, doing them justice like this collecting them here.. Ive got Common with a tender vibe, Ive got JD Era with some smooth shayt and Ive got Sean P doing it hard.. Ive grown into a huge Sean P fan - I was a fan of Helter Skelter in thae 90s, but listening to them now is just awesome, and Sean P does hisbest - He's ready to do damage...
Yesterday KevinNottingham had another contest posted on Common and the contest is not only for US citizens but is also a contest, where you have to pay to enter.. NO WAY !
Let me for the record say that it's not Kevin's fault and get right down to the music... I had 5 samples for tryouts for this joint and ended up with this... Im very pleased with it and feel that Ive given the track another emotional vibe....

Kelley Louise Carter
Vibe Magazine January 13, 2009
THREE YEARS AFTER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH, J DILLA'S BEATS AND REPUTATION LOOM EVER LARGER OVER HIP HOP. BUT FOR HIS MOTHER - WHO NURSED THE VISIONARY PRODUCER THROUGH A CHRONIC ILLNESS AND HAS WATCHED HIS ESTATE LANGUISH IN LIMBO - THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES. BY KELLEY LOUISE CARTER.
Many of her son's friends - Common, Busta, Erykah Badu - still call regularly, and keep her son's music in rotation. Q-Tip's latest single, "Move" (Universal Motown, 2008), was built around a Dilla beat, and her other son John Yancey, a rapper known as Illa J has released the powerful new album, Yancey Boys (Delicious Vinyl, 2008), which was produced by his big brother. Meanwhile the 60-year-old woman everybody calls Ma Dukes faces health problems of her own, and financial challenges as well. Although numerous memorials and "benefits" were held in his name, the proceeds didn't change his family's life. Dilla left two daughters - Ja'Mya, 7, and Paige, 9 - to provide for, a sizeable IRS bill, and unresolved legal issues surrounding the use of his beats. Ma Dukes says she has never received money from her son's estate and that her plans to establish a foundation in his name were quashed by the executor of his estate. Somehow, she was not reduced to tears even after Dilla's attorney informed her that she had no legal right to use her own son's name or likeness for commercial purposes. Not even to support his family.
Kevin Nottingham introduced me to this site, connecting us in a new forum - The facebook/Myspace for hip hop fans/artists...
Link It doesn't mean, that Im leaving this, but I do post a whole lot of my projects there in these days.. Im working on J Dilla reconstrucing album and the develpment can be followed closely the next few days...
This album is the soundtrack to your gameplaying, Isbjerg have been doing these joints for years - Whenever gettin stuck in a video game or needed a break, he turned to producing some music to let off some steam and clearing the cloudy mind.. The beats have always had a touch of video game theme music so they were gathered and now released together in this album....
Yes, we do celebrate one of our own here,but he deserves a little credit once in a while. And in Isbjerg’s case, we do have one of old cats in the game. Isbjerg grew up in Denmark and were introduced to “The Message” Since then he grabbed the mic, got in the spotlight and rocked it with the best danish acts at that time. And since the danish scene weren’t that big, it meant that everybody knew everybody and Isbjerg’s been working with former DMC world champions and danish old school legends. Further more, Isbjerg’s been on a bunch of features and albums throughout the last 15 years..
He didn’t dropped the mic, but layed it on the shelf for time being, focusing on producing. He then found a bunch of acapellas to practice on and found KevinNottingham.com and grew with projects..
He’s done plenty of interviews, but never on his own and never as a producer. With that much coming from his Rap1Masse blog, we had to ask him a whole lot of questions.Briffe : So what up. You first took notice joining in on the 90’s contest, and you had your first remix album with the American Gangster. But back to that in a while – First, what made you change from being an MC to dive into the producing ?
Isbjerg : Producing has always been my thing, I wanted to get an inpact on my music, so I brought records I liked and did bring some important stuff to my own joints and when I got a computer in the beginning of the 90’s I had to try to produce something and despite the 8bit and lousy sounds, I did two albums and 3 mixtapes with beats on it.. Garagesounds vol 1 and 2 were the bomb in a time of independent artists coming out, doing their own thing. Shortly after that, my computer broke down and I was stock trying to produce on Music 2000 on my playstation 1… How low can you go ? But I got an MPC and got beats back in my everyday.. And now after KevinNottingham.com, I found the hunger and lust to do more and do better… His site and the Nottinghammers raised my production rate from 10 beats a year to 10 beats a week..Not that I have to, but I really want to make beats..
Briffe : I like your dedication. So, what equipment do you have now ?
Isbjerg : I still got my MPC, but prefer my old Acid Pro 4, really pressing it to follow my commands. I’ve got stacks of CDs and some LPs and stuffed it on my extended harddisc, bought for music arrangement, samples and sounds… I’ve got movies and live concerts for inspiration and since I thought of making ‘ Before I sleep’, I got myself a lot of old school equipment and try to balance simple samples and live feel..
Briffe: So you’ve released remix albums and mixtapes for more than a year now How is that different from being the one laying the vocals and what does it take for you to begin a remix album ?
Isbjerg : Imma have to say, that no matter how good a MC I consider myself, I can never compete with the acapellas in my remix. I’m not retired as a MC but the producing makes me wanna do more and work harder to make it happen. It’s great to have a whole album of acapella and brainstorm what do with it. I really had fun doing the El-P and Sick Jacken album, and Jay had me going the distance. I had to go 20 years back in producing with El and Sick made me listen to a lot of westerns albums. I’ve been a fan of Bill Withers for years and combing Jay with Bill were a dream as well of making the Wright album.. I’ve just finished J-Live remix album, full of orchestral music and raw drums and are working on Nas/Olu Dara project as a father/son thing..I saw the Notion contest on Kevin, but couldn’t find a perfect theme for it, until the IllMatic beat contest came up - So if the theme idea works for the vocals, I’m in..
Briffe : Tell me about the process of finishing the albums. How long did it take to find a way to spread the word and what were your approach to releasing it ? Do you have a favorite album or do you have a special release experience ?
Isbjerg : I’ve realized that having a company makes me take on a lot more tasks than I did as a MC. I gotta do the mastering, the graphics, the album ID and making the release plans – I’m not alone on it, but I like to be certain that things are getting done.. And like everybody else, I have my facebook/myspace profile, I’m on various sites spreading the releases and I’ve started a release mailchain, including Kevins site and have included more blogs throughout 2008. The album are much like children, and that makes it hard to find a favorite, but ‘Before I sleep’ really made me work harder and I do consider the album deserves a better hit score, that it got – I consider re-releasing it through Kevin to make it standout and make it heard by those, who I imagine would like it..
Briffe : I must admit, I haven’t got the entire album, only the joint on your Remix1Massee albums – Now, do you got a MC, you would like to produce ? Either a acapella pack or a real MC ?
Isbjerg : I would love to do more Biggie – I had a remix album planned, but decided to wait because of the hype surrounding the movie and the mixtapes coming out because of the hype..
I’ve had a talk with Australian MC Notion and wouldn’t mind doing more for him, as for Trav William from Florida and to find a skilled MC on a level as those, I wouldn’t turn down doing as much as possible..
Briffe : Who did you listen to growing up? What producers or artists had an impact on you? And what about today… who do you listen to in the game these days ?
Isbjerg : I grew up on Run DMC, Beastie Boys and LL Cool J. I heard a lot of Gangstarr after hearing ‘step in the arena’ and wanted to be DJ Premier, and the same thing happended when I first heard Company Flow. El – P and Primo have a lot af styles and sounds that you can try to copy, but can never outdo… Those two are trendsetters and today I do tend to listen to more new artists, but I can’t keep up with the many albums coming out, so I listen a lot to my own projects, the selfish bastard I am..
If I told you, that my favorite albums are : Paul’s boutique, 3 feet high and rising and It Takes a nation of millions to hold us back, you can imagine the style and sound, I like..
Briffe : What can we expect to hear from you in 2009? Any more remix albumss? Another albums or productions maybe?
Isbjerg s: I’ve promised myself to make more instrumental albums, but I’ve got room for more acapellas to be dombined with some good stuff.. I gotta do something in 2009, that I didn’t do I 2008, or else I would only repeat my work
Briffe : Thank you for taking the time to talk. Is there anything else that you would like to end this off with ?
Isbjerg : Yeah, get the free remix album on my site – Don’t hold back…
2DopeBoys got a contest going, and I ain't missing out on a contest like this...

Yes, you'll get it.... As you properbly guessed, I haven't been writing any blogs for some time, mainly because of sickness and a long story short, Im home in Denmark and I'm working on my projects again, this time I'm on some different ish and here's the projects who's been thought off the last two weeks..
Reinvented Beats Vol. 1 - 4
I take the original track/tracks and hold the samples up against classic artist using and reuse it in a new way...
Ex: I take Rick James' Superfreak and make you regonize it, let MC Hammer get a sec or two to be remembered and then... Flip it my way and try to put a new vibe and flow on it... To keep them legendary, I'll keep the name, that made the sampled track famous - 'Can't touch this'
Game Music - Music to play video games by
Ive been playing for years, and I believe that this genre needs some beats for game playing...
and so much more to come...
Der er ikke nogen plader i Makadonien - Hvis der er, så gemmer de dem godt - Efter lang tid troede jeg faktisk, at hvis man ønskede at høre musik derhjemme, så inviterede man bare et band hjem til sig for at spille... Men jeg fandt nogen lydfiler på nettet, som også er meget sparsom med makadonsk musik...
There doesn't seems to be any records in Macadonia - And if there is, they hid them well - After a while, I convinced myself that whenever one wanted to hear some music at home, one should get a band from the streets to come and play... I found some files on the net, but that was a cheap experience....
Isbjerg - The Millenium Cross
Så har vi fundet melodien i NordItalien, og i en af de 10 distrikter fandt jeg El Pont d'Arcalis e Ariondassa, som var så dyster at se på, men så munter at sample...
Next up is Northern Italy i one of the 10 districts I find El Pont d'Arcalis e Ariondassa , which were so dark and moody and turns out to be happy to sample...
Isbjerg - Merry Men

Paris var ikke mig - Brugte en stor del af tiden på at rode med J-Live, og her slog det mig... Som at få Sverige serveret som en flad af den anden verden...
Han er bare en af de bedste rappere,jeg har hørt længe... Så mon ikke om jeg bare må remixe ham.. Jeg er i skrivende stund nået til track 4, som jeg leaker, for det sparker så hård røv, at Remee tager notater... Whoever
Paris didn't do it for me.. Used a lot of time messing with J-Live's vocals instead and it hit me like sweden served as a cheek warmer... He's one of the best mc's I've hears in a long time... So I had to make my own remix and leak a track from it.. Whoever
Og dette er så kærlighedens by... Min kone to be vil så gerne hertil, men jeg ser på byen med andre øjne idag, da jeg skal koncentrere mig om det rette musikvalg... Jeg vil godt hvad jeg leder efter, og jeg kan undre mig over det manglende udvalg i harmonika musik.. Jeg kan fornemme musikken i byen..
And this is the so called city of love, as my wife to be would call it, but I look after something else today.. I do ponder on the low harmonica standard and lack of vinyle here.. But I feel the music in the city..
Isbjerg - French or not
Michael Giacchino - I’m A Rat
Peter Gabriel - Outtake Passion
Jeg får ikke den bedste start, idet at jeg ikke kan finde noget decideret skotte musik, ud over sækkepiber.. Og det blir jo ikke nemmere, når nogen forsøger at bilde mig ind, at Wales er næsten det samme som Skotland, og at jeg bare kan finde noget spændende folkemusik derfra.. Nu er jeg ikke det største geografiske geni, men jeg ved sgu hvor Wales ligger, og jeg ved en hel del om skotter og deres øl.. På billedet ser I deres stolthed, armadilloen som minder en smule om vores operahus... Jeg ender med at tage til takke med James Horner og Braveheart soundtracket ( Han er amerikaner, men har en forkærlighed til celtisk folkemusik og det smager lidt af sækkepibe ) og resultatet er :
I'm not off to the best start, since I can't find any other scottish music besides bagpipes. It doesn't get easier by someone trying to tell me that Wales is the same as Scotland - I'm not the greatest geographical genius, but I know the difference between Scotland and Wales. In the background, Glasgow's Armadillo and looks like the danish operahouse.. I end up with James Horner and Braveheart soundtrack - He's a american with a flair for celtic music and that's almost scottish :
Isbjerg - The Scottish ArmadilloJames Horner - Braveheart soundtrack
Jeg fandt endelig flere sessioner med Ice Cube, og har nu fundet frem til projektet 'Still AmeriKKKa's Most' som en hyldest til en af de mest holdbare og banebrydende rappere i min tid... Fra Straight outta Compton til Raw Footage, så er Ice Cube en hjørnesten i Hip Hop.. Og derfor vil jeg lave et remix album med ham som tema..
I finally found more footage of the legendary Ice Cube and are ready to try min craft with this old Gangster, as a salute to a solid stone in my hip hop history.. I wanted the cover to represent his solo beginning to now... And he's still... Download link
