CHESTER P HACKENBUSH

BIG MONSTER LOVE CUZZIN...

...If you gonna smash-up sum faces...call me

powerful stuff...

someone post up or scan in excalibahs article please

TRUTH

Yo..Love free Hip Hop... but still you know thats a big point ever closing the independant artist / signed and payed artist gap.....


have alot to say ... BIG UP CHESS IN THE GAME !

REAL TALK... FUCK THEM ALL.. IVE ALWAYS ADMIRED CHESTERS MIC SKILLS BUT I HAVENT REALLY BEEN A BIG FAN OF THE ACTUAL TRACKS HES RELEASED, HOWEVER, IM A BIG FAN OF THE NEW STUFF, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE NEW DIRECTION AND IM ADMIRING THE GUY AND THE STANCE HES TAKING MORE AND MORE.. EVERYONE SAYS THIS SHIT, EVERYONE, BIG CHESTER UP FOR ACTUALLY HAVING THE BALLS TO SAY SOMETHING (MOST PEOPLE DONT BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED OUTLETS WE ALREADY HAVE) OUT FUCKING LOUD...

THAT IS ALL

I feel that he could of done this in a better way, but major respect for bringing up the issue. I mean if things dont get said and people aren't aware of whats going on then how are things ever gonna change? And basically he's just getting his point across, replying to the excalibuh article in the only way possible. Do you think HHC are really gonna let him have his piece??

The main point is this though. Over ten years in the industry, releasing straight up bangers on the regs, and this is the situation now. Something is fucked up there..

he's a top bloke and has been a active part of uk hip hop for time, known for helping many artists out for years before he was at 1Xtra, and continues to do so since leaving the station - one of the few decent hip hop DJs one 1Xtra ever had (him and mista jam). backing up Braintax at this point in time is a bad idea though, esp as there is some pretty crazy 'other' stuff being said about him right now that will prob find its way onto this forum over the next few weeks!!

as for the rest of the stuff chester is talking about... recon he is displaying a balanced opinion and it backs up a lot of other stuff I've heard behind closed doors, like others have said he's the only one to have the balls to speak out. good luck to the guy, and I personally take it as a warning when it come to dist etc.

anyone know any honest dist companies??

Not heard a bad thing about St Holdings, and a few others.

The problem is that uk Hip Hop won't sell, so whos going to deal with it.

Hate to break it to Chester, but Adam Anonymous IS Akira The Don.
It's the name he used to use when he did reviews for some indie
thing a long time ago.. I remember reading it online, and maybe
even in HHC itself. Here's confirmation.

Taken from: http://deleteaa.blogspot.com/2006/03/mo ... s-for.html

"Akira The Don
Website
AKA Adam Anonymous of Playlouder fame, who has previously stated an intention to be 'the rap Morrissey'. Indie-friendly rap with Verve samples and songs about Rick Witter, it's more likable by far when being funny than when trying too hard to make a point (Genocide Is Coming To The USA) but while decently put together (this is some way away from Goldie Lookin' Chain) seems rather uninspiring. Forgotten him already."

Damn, thats gonna rile him up further...

I have the fullest respect for Chester, artists behind closed doors bitch and moan about these companies all the time and have done for years . Especially Cargo .

He's just done it openly on the net , and I think its upto independent artists to draw attention to the business so the fans can understand the struggle a bit more .

Plus the download thing is killing hip hop in this country , there's blogs now that you can download even the smallest uk artists releases . Chesters album was on Albumbase before its official release, that takes the piss !

if it's true that adam anonymous thing is pure fuckries
u got dudes in magazines writing reviews under female aliases n shit taking shots at artists, reviewers leaking albums online, editors owning labels & giving priority space & overhyped reviews to their own artists
I really got no words for how much the industry disgusts me & it's always the heads who are already broke being fucked over & leeched off
ppl need to start getting exposed for real

HAHA, chesters hunting aint too good, good job he lives near an Asda.

"He was formerly a member of an underground rap group called Crack Village, where his name was Adam Alphabet."
Akira the Don's Wikipedia entry

They cant really be the same person surely. i think akira the don is wank and have always thought adam annoymous came off as a proper nob in hhc, so it does kind of make sense. someone suggested it to me before that they were the same person but i thought he was called adam alphabet not adam anonnymous. either way he/they are both fucknig pricks. hhc is a load of bollocks generally as well, still buy it evry month though
