dylan-Kurtis Blow

Hi - can I ask you why you are deleting this all over the place - on a very quick check, here's one ref: http://www.oldschoolhiphop.com/records/kingdomblow.htm and there are lots of others. And the Bob Dylan Encyclopedia is not a bogus reference (but was the wrong page: correct p is 63) -- is there a problem that isn't apparent about including this? I don't know about Debra Byrd or Wayne Garfield, but Dylan recorded a song with Kurtis Blow. Tvoz |talk 18:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was already responding when you updated this comment to include the correct page number, but that doesn't really change what I wrote on your talk page. Closenplay 18:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah - as I said I don't know anything about Byrd or Garfield, and I don;t disagree with your thinking if that's what's going on here (but I have no idea) - I was just verifying that Dylan recorded the song with Blow and I think it is definitely something of interest to Dylan readers that he was on a rap song and of interest to Kurtis Blow readers that Dylan was on one of his songs. What I did on the various pages (before getting your note) was to ask for citation about Garfield/Byrd - I'm inclined to leave it that way for now and if it's not forthcoming remove that part. Does that work for you? Tvoz |talk 19:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, just read your note more carefully - I see what you're saying. Tvoz |talk 19:14, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me. Tvoz |talk 19:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear TVOZ and Closenplay: I appreciate your comments with regard to the aforementioned Byrd/Garfield connection to Bob Dylan's foray into rap music of which Ms. Byrd and myself were "shepherds", if you will. It was an endeavor that was considerably difficult for she and I to pull off at the time, but Mr. Dylan graciously interrupted his own recording schedule to contribute to Mr. Blow's project at his Topanga Valley, CA., studio. In fact, the Dylan/Blow collaboration actually became a trend-setting move for both rap music and hip-hop marketing, which began with the "Walk This Way" collaboration between Aerosmith and Run-DMC. FYI, for purposes of unimpeachable verfication, I suggest that you consult the Polygram product management department or marketing department and request verfication of the album credit: "Bob Dylan's performance was furnished through the special efforts of Wayne Garfield and Debra Byrd".

If interested, please feel free to visit my website at www.waynegarfield.com for more information on my history and contributions in the contemporary music and entertainment fields. There you will find (among other things) that in 1979, I originated the first U.S., government-funded Recording Industry Training Program for economically-disadvantaged youth and young adults. The program was based in New York City and developed by The Institute Of New Cinema Artists, Inc., whose founder/president was the late, great actor/activist, Ossie Davis. Rap music and fashion mogul, Russell Simmons, hired his first employee, Heidi Smith, from this program and graduate, Vincent Davis (Vintertainment Records/Elektra), became the industry's first record producer to release a record containing a sample ("2-3 Break" by the B-Boys). Thank you. WKG

Thank you for proving my point that all of your additions to Wikipedia are about you and all of your achievements. Good luck with that. Closenplay 18:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Limp Records rules!

Hi, I run :30 Under DC and I was pleasantly surprised to find that you'd created a Limp Records page here...I'll dig up all those runout etchings you asked for. Just shoot me an email (it's splashed all over 30underdc.com) if you don't hear from me soon...

Very cool! I actually used your site to fill in the blanks from my own collection. I meant to include a link but I spaced. Since I'm asking all these favors, can you get a high-res scan (300 dpi) of the Limp logo on the Nightman 7"? I'd love to be able to add that to the logo gallery. And check out the Black Market Baby article. I started it but don't know the band that well; I'm sure you could fill in some blanks there. Thanks!Closenplay 23:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded some Slickee Boys stuff to 30underdc.com/wiki for you to use. The photographers are all unknown. I haven't dug out my records yet. If you want to use any cover scans or flyers from THUD or Senselessofferings.com here, you have my permission. Photos are different...shoot me an email if there are any you want to use.

Wow, thanks! Those are some great pix. Thanks for your assistance. I have to go through my collection and see if there's anything that you needed info on (I do have the Strange Alliance LP--have to check that for the catalog # for you.) Closenplay 13:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, forgot to include that.

It needs a replaceable fair use rationale, which was the issue last time. In other words, it needs a reason why a free image (one that you took yourself of the band at a concert, for instance) could not be used to serve the same purpose in the article as the fair use image. You could say "this band doesn't tour anymore, and so getting a picutre of them together is impossible and there are no other free images out there" and be done with it, if that's the case. This is often the case with pictures of old broken-up bands. Grand master ka 21:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
