Off The Yezelbub

So deep in the recesses of my hard drive, I rediscovered a pdf of Andrew Broder’s infamous Noreaga Interview from Life Sucks Die Magazine. It finds Nore at his most absurd, discussing his love for full steezies and ecstacy and accusing Pharrell of being a “flagrino.”

Here’s just one of many highlights:

LSD- Optimist or pessimist?
N-[Pauses] Thugginest.

I hope nobody minds my republishing it here.

Now we just need to find the legendary Truehiphop.com Big Pun hamburger interview.

    I think I memorized like half of that Pun interview, so maybe we could all just reconstruct it from our memories.

    Pun needs steel girders to skateboard, that was my favorite part.

    It’s written by Andrew Broder, of indie-turntable-rock group The Fog, and Sam Rosen. I doubt anyone at LSD would care about the reprint, but you could inquire at http://lordsofapathy.blogspot.com/.
    At least a few of that crew put in work over there nowadays.
    And that review really sucked. LSD was, all excessice nudity and sarcasm aside, one of the best graffiti magazines out in the late ’90s, just a shame it couldn’t have lasted longer.

    I see where the concept for that song “Nothing” came from now. It’s nothing to say that actually was a pretty good song too

    I remeber that interview when it was in the magazine, so fucking funny. LSD may be my alltime favorite magazine as well, I wish they still ran it.

    Just downloaded and looking forward to reading it. LSD was definitely ill. I’d flip through it at my local graf mag spot, but I drew the line at the photo feature on taking dumps.

    I love the Nore era. He was in his prime then. Thank you for that! And is there any footage of this “What What: The Movie”???
