On November 30, 2023, IDEA GENERATION and Tres Generaciones Tequila hosted an event with rapper Big Daddy Kane. The legendary MC and IDEA GENERATION Founder Noah Callahan-Bever sat down together in Brooklyn, NY in celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop and Tres Generaciones Tequila. In front of a live audience, the Smooth Operator himself and NCB discussed Kane's iconic career, getting the only sample ever cleared by Prince, hitting the studio with Rick James in the '80s, being left of the Batman soundtrack, and the many challenges he's faced in his career and how he's continued to persevere. The room was packed with fans sipping on Tres Generaciones Tequila, and the after party was jumping thanks to DJ Perly and DJ Drewski. Special thanks to our partners at Tres Generaciones for bringing this experience to life.

Rick James is Exactly as Wild as You Thought in The First Trailer for a New Documentary

2021-08-19T18:53:56.507Z

After making waves at Sundance earlier this year, the official trailer for the upcoming documentary, Bitchin’: The Sound and Fury of Rick James, has arrived.

At just north of a minute-and-half-long, the preview is as high-octane as you might think, offering plot points in a film that promises to offer a glimpse at the wild life of a funk icon. Directed by Sacha Jenkins, Bitchin’ will cover the impossible highs and cavernous lows of James’ career as a hitmaker who bridged the worlds of r&b and pop at a particularly transformative point in music. The trailer features interviews with bandmates, tons of archival concert footage, as well as testimony from Ice Cube, Bootsy Collins, and Big Daddy Kane. It closes with life imitating art at the 2004 BET Awards, where James walked off the stage after declaring “Nevermind who you thought I was, I’m Rick James, bitch.”

Collins, a fellow bass-toting funk frontman, discussed Parliament-Funkadelic’s rivalry with James’ crew in an excerpt from the film released in June. “All was fair in funk and war, man” Collins says through a reluctant smile recalling how James would puff his chest and gloat over selling more albums and tickets than P-Funk.

“Making beats with you watching is one of the least comfortable things I’ve ever done.”
Boldy James and Alchemist were the latest guests on Kenny Beats‘ excessively-caffeinated Youtube series, The Cave.

The session arrives on the heels of Boldy and Al’s collaborative album, The Price of Tea in China, which featured appearances from Freddie Gibbs, Vince Staples, Benny The Butcher, and more. And if that wasn’t enough, Boldy recently announced a deal with Buffalo’s Griselda Records crew, joining a buzzing collective mid-streak following an uneventful tenure at Mass Appeal.
