Topic: Lateef the Truthspeaker


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  The Beat
Blackalicious, Latyryx (of which Lateef was a member) and most famously, DJ Shadow helmed this movement, which was incorrectly pegged as avant-garde hip-hop when in fact it was more throwback rap: dope lyrics and dope beats you could move to.
Lateef''s contribution to this movement was his non-stop, stream-of-consciousness flow that was similar to pouring liquid from a pitcher, the more it went, the more it built up in the cup, until you wound up with a full glass brimming with substance.
Lateef proved one thing on Thursday, it's not the size of the crowd, it's the size of the crowd's enthusiasm.

 Eyeball Kid - Blackalicious - Live
Lateef is a pure showman and here he relishes the opportunity to headline, spitting out blistering versions of old and new Blackalicious tracks.
Aided by Lifesava’s, Vursatyl, the MC’s improvise throughout, especially during ‘Deception’, when the familiar “la di da” chorus is sung by the crowd, while Lateef cleverly indulges in call and response with the crowd for the verses.
Lateef wisely chose to leave the tongue-tying verbal twisters, ‘Alphabet Aerobics’ and ‘Chemical Callisthenics’, out of the set, and you couldn’t help but feel sorry for those amongst the crowd who have yet to witness the stunning machine-gun clatter of Gab’s vocal delivery.

 music (for robots)
The Maroons are Lateef the Truthspeaker (sometimes of Latyrx) together with Chief Xcel (the non-emcee half of Blackalicious), and represent an internal shuffle within the ranks of the Quannum artists.
Lateef can blow the roof off any show (he's constantly raised the bar every time I've seen him live), and Xcel's production continues to evolve in ways that bring fresh sounds to the now somewhat formulaic feel of indie hip-hop production.
Lateef is also featured on two tracks on Fatboy Slim's new album (links go to iTunes music store).

 The FlipSide: Review Archive: Latyrx The Album
Latyrx are Lateef the Truthspeaker and Lyrics Born, a duo that comes from the same musical background as producer DJ Shadow and another 'Left Coast' twosome, Blackalicious.
The title track starts the album off in a most puzzling way as Lateef and Lyrics rhyme simultaneously, spewing forth a stream of consciousness that is almost overwhelming with the abstract music that accompanies it.
On the latter track, Lateef memorably speaks forth the following harsh truth: "I know it hurts/ there is no digestion worse/ than that which comes from having to eat your own words".

 Quality, Quantity, Quannum - Music
Under his watch, "Puttin' on the Ritz" got a much-needed update, and he treated fans to other upcoming solo songs and a few bumpin' Blackalicious classics like "Paragraph President."
Lateef and Lyrics Born kept crowds moving with their charismatic stage presence, while Joyo Velarde belted out background vocals and a solo song, making it clear she was no mere accessory-the girl has pipes.
So no matter how incongruous it may have been for independently minded hip-hop to indulge in so many bells and whistles, and in the Fillmore Auditorium no less, it was the melodies, courtesy of Velarde and some of the best deejays in the business, that brought a little bit of basement bounce to the masses.

 Music Scene - More Great Hip-Hop?!
When Lyrics Born (whose mother calls him Tom Shimura) first expressed his desire to be a hip-hop artist, a high school teacher said to him, "An Asian rapper?
That'll be the day!" Luckily, he found more positive attitudes while attending college at UC Davis, where he founded Quannum Records with his classmates Lateef the Truthspeaker, DJ Shadow and Blackalicious.
After spending years behind the scenes, Shimura released 2003's Later That Day to critical acclaim and the album's hit, "Calling Out," quickly showed up in a Diet Coke commercial.
