Interview: Triangle Piece (Glenn Davis of Way Yes)
MP3: Triangle Piece – Johnny (Single Version)
So a few weeks ago, Glenn Davis (1/4 of Way Yes and 100% of Triangle Piece) sent me his new album, The Man I Love. Being a fan of the music he makes, I was intrigued before the first listen and it has since become a breath of fresh air peeking through the infinite amount of indie bullshit right now.
I sat down and interviewed Glenn via the interweb (thank goodness for technology) and he told me how Triangle Piece came about. The Man I Love can be downloaded starting today here (name your price).
So you ARE Triangle Piece, correct?
Yes is the answer to your first question.
Is this your first full release?
Yes. Well… it’s not the first I started, but it’s the first I’ve finished. I have another one that I have been working on very slowly and this was an attempt to make an album in a more immediate way because the other way was taking so long. I made The Man I Love in two weeks.
What are we calling this collection of jams? Other than The Man I Love.
I call it an album. It’s sort of a mixtape, or a beat tape but I don’t really understand the difference because I feel like I know what to expect if a rapper puts out a mix tape… a release of tracks that aren’t album material. This is not that, but it’s sort of a beat tape. I don’t know, I’m not trying to get people to hire me to make beats for them or to get people to rap over these, so it’s not really that either. So I just call it an album.

Biggie Dissed Pac over a Dilla Beat?
MP3:Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes & Labba-Modern Day Gangstas
Pos 2 just put me onto this. Above… is a You Tube video of Frank from Frank N Dank, DJ Rhettmatic, and the late great Dilla discussing the process of recording what they claim to be an unreleased BIG attack on Tupac Shakur and why it never came out. And below the video is the actual song, Modern Day Gangstas. Obviously Frank has the verse confused with BIG’s verse off of Jigga’s Reasonable Doubt..but the story is still pretty interesting…and it does sound like Biggie is going at Pac.
