THE SCENE CHANGED, WHY?
"Before, kids that liked hip hop, liked house music. So, it was a little
more open, the club scene was a lot bigger. The kids would like LL Cool J,
but they'd also like Mr. Fingers. It got lost for a minute. A lot of those
clubs started closing. Hip Hop became very commercial. I think its now
cycling around where if you go to the clubs, you see kids that would be into
a Jill Scott, D'Angelo and they go to Dance Ritual and clubs like that.
I can't sit around and complain, its not like it used to be. Its never going
to be like before. Its what it is now. We are going to make it, what its
going to be.
When I go to Los Angeles, play at Marques Wyatt's party DEEP, its one of the
most amazing gigs in the world, it reminds me of being at home at Dance
Ritual. We'd just got to work harder, get to the ppl out there, let them
experience it. If they get converted, they get converted.
I think a lot of the people out there are too bitter and complaining about
it. DO something about it. Its never going to be the Paradise Garage, its
never going to be the LOFT. But you can still capture some of those moments,
too many people just dwell. If it was over you wouldn't hear nothing.
I hate when I read an interview and I hear, our music is dying. It is not
dying! I'm playing around the world to clubs anywhere from 800 people to
30,000 people the vibe that I give from New York, I bring out there. I don't
change it. That's what I do. You can't tell me that its over. I travel more
than ever. I can play a crowd as big as Danny Tenaglia or Sasha, but I'm
playing what I do, and I play it well for the people, so they appreciate
it."
