>Even though there's some stuff that the didn't cover (as I >mentioned above), I don't imagine there's going to be another >Prince Paul-centered season of this. So, does Open Mike keep >this as a one-off? Or should he try to talk to someone else? >And who? > >Finding someone else to do all these in-depth interviews is >likely going to be hard. Prince Paul worked because 1) he's a >great interview, 2) Has a sense of humor and doesn't take >himself too seriously, and 3) is willing to talking about both >his successes and failures in very open and honest way. He's >not self-aggrandizing. > >So, I think the field of producers is pretty narrow of who >Open Mike could successfully pull this off with. I think >Premier, if he could get him, is the best choice. He keeps it >buck and likes to talk about the process. Pete Rock would be >awful (he's not an interesting interview at all). RZA is >always in self-promotion mode. Large Pro could give a lot of >insight, but every interview I've seen with him is kind of >dry. I don't think Marley Marl would talk honestly about what >he did and didn't do. Maybe Q-Tip could work? > >If he wanted to do a rapper instead of a producer, you run >into the same pitfalls. KRS would either be great or a >disaster, no in-between. Redman might be able to pull it off. >I could see LL being interesting, but he might be too "big" >for this. > >Anyway, just some thoughts.
