i heard a pretty deep story about him though, that the reason alex reece pretty much disappeared is cos he signed a deal with a new label, then when he asked goldie for money for releases like pulp fiction he beat the crap out of him then completely blackballed him from the scene...obviously this is something i read on youtube comments so v dubious but still,..harsh

Does that not make him a huge tnuc?

[OGLemon]

[RKM]

well yeah..i mean beating the guy up is bad but making sure he can't make a living in his chosen profession is just beyond harsh

at least he ain't suge knight

[rickyarbino]

What did he do?

Also, I thought you were saying he's good for doing that.

[RKM]

nah saying he did some booky sounding shit on top of harkat saying he threw a dude down some stairs

suge knight...just like google him...genuinely frightening dude, boss of death row records, in and out of jail, legit gang connections, all sorts of rumours about him being involved in both biggy and tupac's murders

[rickyarbino]

I thought you'd misspelled Sukh Knight

[dickman69]

iirc it was essentially proven by detectives that both suge knight and p diddy put the order out to kill big & 2pac respectively

[OGLemon]

I thought you'd misspelled Sukh Knight

lol I got to the biggie and pac bit and I was like

[Harkat]

Lol htf is it possible 2 know who sukh knight is, but not suge knight

Man was sitting next to pac in the car when he got shot

[OGLemon]

lol I just read it too fast.

[rickyarbino]

I didn't, Just don't know a whole lot about Pac or Biggie.
Only properly heard and liked two of Pac's tunes tbh.

[cloaked_up]

u must be a child then
this is 4 tru hgeadz only

wtf is a 'suchk knight' lol

also

/BAN

[rickyarbino]

Dubstep producer from Bristol. A 'tru hgead' would know that tbh.

[wolf89]

Only hearing two of Pac's tunes isn't a bad thing. Dude must be one of the most over rated artists of all time

[cloaked_up]

says the dude with a kR3w 39 d33p

[garethom]

he is a great label manager, one of the best, but as a producer...

I agree. Although, production standards were different back then. "Inner City Life" was good and "Believe" was okay, but I don't care for his other stuff.

Would be good if Goldie actually produced any of it.

goldie is pretty overrated imo

Goldie deserves maximum respect. How many other stnuc are hardcore enough to throw a man down a flight of stairs to uphold his labels' honor?

i heard a pretty deep story about him though, that the reason alex reece pretty much disappeared is cos he signed a deal with a new label, then when he asked goldie for money for releases like pulp fiction he beat the crap out of him then completely blackballed him from the scene...obviously this is something i read on youtube comments so v dubious but still,..harsh

I've heard both stories, I think most people have.

The Alex Reece one, I don't know. There are plenty of stories online about it, but it's hard to say. People who went to Swerve back in the day said that Reece was acting like a dickhead, walking round like he owned the place. Wasn't there, can't say. Pinch of salt bizzle.

The stairs thing, that one is true. Someone bootlegged a Goldie tune, Goldie found out, Goldie caught up with the bloke and threw him down the stairs at Plan B during a Metalheadz night.

Remember he also kicked off at some bass producer (name is on the tip of my tongue, but can't remember it) for doing a 'remix' of one of his tunes that XLR8R picked up. Guy shat himself when Goldie started having a go at him, published a full apology and took the tune down ASAP.

EDIT - just down a search, it was A1 Bassline - http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2011/09/dirty ... metalheadz

[Harkat]

IIRC the stairs incident wasn't even a bootleg of a Goldie tue, just a bootleg of Pulp Fiction.

Also, yeah, Goldie uses engineers but his shit still sounds distinct. I don't picture him in the studio sitting bored and spinning around in his office chair going "yeah cool Rob, make it more soulful or something". Goldie tunes sound like Goldie tunes.

Don't know. This interview gives a bit more detail:

I remember some crazy interview with him years ago where he said he did the mixdown for Terminator after dropping three pills as he was convinced he could hear things smashed he couldn't normally
