R.I.P. Baseline Studios…

5 Comments

20100128-BASELINE

Another pillar of New York Hip Hop has been torn down.  Just Blaze’s Baseline studios officially closed up for good last week.  Over the years, a whole bunch of classic records and big hits were recorded over there.  R.I.P.

I don’t really have any good Baseline stories… but one time I was really trying to get some beats to Young Guru (mix engineer).   We scheduled a day for me to come through and with some tracks for him.   The day after we scheduled it, I dislocated my foot playing basketball.  Still I was on my motherf’ing grind, located foot or not.  So I  trekked downtown to Baseline with my crutches  and big ass boot holding my foot piece in place & got Guru the beats… Those were the days…

This is a straight forward example of how real networking pays off.
