..............excerpt only. Click on the "gentlejones" link above to read the whole article.
AllHipHop.com: Lastly you said Memphis music is different than Texas music, which is different than New York music. You and Three 6 really helped to define the Memphis Hip-Hop sound so how would you describe that sound? * * Project Pat: Memphis got a gutter type sound and you know Memphis is 90% Black and it’s a Soul city. But Memphis music is a dark sound. It’s a gutter sound. It’s dark. So a dude can hear it in Baltimore, and much love to guys in Baltimore ‘cause a lot of Baltimore n***as wrote me. Baltimore n***as is good niggas, and it’s dark in Baltimore. So a Baltimore n***a can hear that sound, and he feel that pain. He feel that gutter and he may have never been to Memphis but he’ll say, “Man it’s like that down there?” It’s just like that down there. And he here’s it and says, “Man I can relate to that. I can relate to that.” And he just clicks in. It’s just like anywhere else. Like Brooklyn, you know what I’m sayin’? Brooklyn hear that gutter and they be like, “Man I feel that, son!” ‘Cause it works vice versa. When Biggie came out, I felt that. I felt that man. I felt that. I mean, you gonna feel that. * * P.S. I tried to find the article on allhiphop.com but was unsuccessful. I doubt that its a phony tho! * Be sure you check me out on MYSPACE @ www.myspace.com/clove |

I'm not surprised that Project Pat and HCP get a lot of love from Baltimore, but a couple weeks ago at Hip Hop 101, I remember the DJ played Pat's silly-ass new single "Great Googly Moogly," and it seemed like half the people in the room started bitching about it until another song came on.
