D.I.T.C. "Many people make records, but few can make music" - 100-minute videointerview!

Our incredibly long videointerview with the legendary Diggin In The Crates crew is something that I'm really proud of. I've had an opportunity to talk with DJ Premier, Xzibit, Masta Ace or Devin The Dude before but this is really the biggest thing. Being able to talk for 100 minutes with your favourite rap group and ask them about nearly everything? Priceless.

People in Poland enjoyed this interview very much and I haven't seen something like this before, so I think that it should be interesting for D.I.T.C. fans all over the world. That's the reason why I posted additional info in english, including full video. Hope you'll like it!

- A.G. recalls working with Madlib and J. Dilla. Is Madlib really as crazy as people think he is?
