Reconstructing From Where??? with Skillz & DJ Source

If you don't know about Skillz' (aka Mad Skillz from back in the day) ill debut From Where??? I suggest you track it down (*cough* props to Cro!!) its from the defuct Big Beat label from back in '96. Anyway the production list was immense and in this interview Skillz & DJ Source go over the finer points, its deffo worth a read..

Earth, and Ironman, just to name a few. Yet amongst all these heavyweights, there was a worthwhile album that many overlooked. It featured a much hyped newcomer and an all star production team that featured The Beatnuts, Buckwild, Clark Kent, EZ Elpee, J Dilla, Large Professor, and Shawn J. Period.

The album was Skillz (formerly Mad Skillz) debut From Where??? Skillz, who many now associate with ghostwriting and year end wrap ups, came in with an original, varied effort that featured songs complete with memorable punch lines and hard-hitting battle raps. Despite a few misfires, the now out of print album proved to be a very strong rookie effort. Between several classic beats and creative lines like, “I came alone, draggin bags of bones, slit my own wrists, and bleedin’ out microphones”, Skillz created something TSS considered worthy of a Reconstruction...........

Back from the madness

Yeah.

I think we're back again...a good indication to if the site is working is the leaderboard to your right..you see that go down we're in trouble.ANYYYYYWAY the tech homie Douglas (lol) from Brinkster has moved the ldbb site to a different server; turns out they were having database problems that affected us but no one decided to reach out and tell us.

Should be sorted now as I had a good mess around with it last night and the things I did to it previously (check the leaderboard, old weeks beats) that caused it to fall over arent happening now..so FINGERS CROSSED!.

Ok and now the update.

Glitch In the Matrix...

Aite, so I havent got a clue on whats going on with the league site.

At first I thought it was a database issue with too many records in the points table, every time someone hits the "Submit Scores" button, we store that entry in the database and currently we're at 3645 records (which isnt that much)..but it looks like the problem is deeper than that..

Anyway we've got the techincal support guys at the web host on it and im told they'll be sorting it this morning (american morning for what its worth)..

In the background im still uploading beats and samples for week 6/7 so hopefully we can roll over today still..

more news as it happens.
