Roc Raida died on September 19, 2009

Strangely enough today, walking to the studio I peeped a little yard sale in front of the YMCA with tons of records. Digging through the stacks I found a white label with some marker writing "X-Men". I was cool, but no mula I kept on walking. Five hours later, I find out that Roc Raida one of the illest turntablist ever, part of the X-Men, X-Ecutioners died this weekend. Unbelievable! Soft spoken, humble with one of the craziest methods of dropping science on the decks.

Rashied Ali July 1, 1935 - August 12, 2009

Rashied Ali passed away at 76 in NYC this past wednesday. One of the illest drummers ever! My favorite Coltrane record Interstellar Space is John and Ali.

AAJ: How did the idea for Interstellar Space come about?

RA: I didn't have a clue what was happening. John told me that we were going to be going in to the studio, and I said, 'Cool.' And I went in there, and I was setting up, and I didn't see Jimmy, I didn't see Alice; I didn't see nobody else. And I was like, 'Where's everybody else?' and he said, 'It's just going to be you and me.' And I went, 'Oh!'
