The Takeover - S03E02 - The Return of Silent D.
posted by Tony B.
The second episode of the third season, but was it better than the first? You tell us, as this week we started off with some major technical difficulties, with the Internet down completely, giving us an almost 30 minute late start. When everything started working again, we then got into Japanese vending machines, learned about Tony B.’s real feelings towards Silent D. in a major rant/diss, talked about the 12th anniversary of the death of 2Pac, got a phone call from SILENT D. HIMSELF, finally had our interview with hip-hop superstar Random, and closed out with a freestyle from ZeaLouS1.

Random on Sunday; For Real This Time. Seriously.
posted by The Dark Prince
Yes, this time, I really mean it, Random, the one and only, will be live on the air with us for this Sunday’s Takeover. He promised me personally that he will be calling in at 7 PM sharp, and if he doesn’t, to go a head and call his personal cell phone. I have the number, people. He’ll be talking about his night opening for Common at the Marquee Theater in Tempe, AZ, as well as his new CD, The 8th Day (review and downloads here), and possibly his article in Blender Magazine, if it’s out by then. It’s going to be a great interview, so be sure to tune in Sunday at 6 PM PST.
Also, this Sunday we’re looking to continue with the new outline format I’ve come up with–ZeaLouS1 works 10 times better with firm structure, so the show should only continue to get better. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to review last week’s show because somebody hasn’t uploaded it yet to the Takeover server . . . TONY B.! So, yeah, when we get that up, I’ll actually be able to take a listen, and so will those of you who missed it live. We’ll also be including show notes with the podcasts, so it’s one more reason to keep coming back to 247Takeover.com.
Speaking of which, I know everyone’s busy these Sundays what with the new fall TV programming coming out (it’s hard enough for me to miss the late-night football games) but you should really hear us live and jump in the chat, as it’s a completely different show when you’re listening live and messaging Z1 personally as opposed to sitting at your work desk and listening to what went down without you. I’ve done both, and live is much, much better.

Half of a New Website
posted by The Dark Prince
Welcome to the new Takeover website! Kinda. I whipped this up over the weekend, which is why things look promising, but there’s stuff missing and/or broken all over the place. And the comments won’t work for some reason. Fuck it. I tried. Boxing is coming on, so I’ll work on it more later. Or maybe tomorrow. Depends on how many shots of tequila I have.
The first REAL show is tomorrow night, none of this calling in from the road bullshit. I’ll be in the studio with ZeaLouS1 and Tony B. from 6-9 PM PST. We’ll be interviewing Random around 7 PM, who just dropped the incredible “8th Day” and is performing with Common in Arizona this weekend. This show will also the first REAL attempt at some outlined structure and discussion now that I’ve dubbed myself the creative director of the show, which means the show should be much more entertaining. In theory, anyway. One can dream, right?
Tune in tomorrow and see what happens.
