Bow Down To The C64 Messiah
March 2, 2007 4:15 PM | Simon Carless
A note from GSW columnist James Dudley, who has a keen eye for what we would describe as 'wacky stuff', reads: "You might be interested in this, if you haven't picked up on him already - there's this dude called C64 Messiah, and he's crossed everything I like about rap with everything I like about vintage computer sounds."
You know what, we do like that stuff! He continues: "I'm playing "Ballcore (Dirty South Remix)" on repeat and I thoroughly recommend it. Check the videos for true Commodore 64 flavor. C64 Messiah is my new hero, and I was always an Amstrad kid so I can think of no higher praise." And I was a Spectrum kiddie, and I still like this, so somebody must be doing something right round here.
He concludes: "I want this guy to have a five billion dollar fold out mansion by the end of the year." On this very subject, a friend of a friend authored the excellent 'Mark VII'-pseudonym-ed C64 and hiphop cut-up stuff a few years back, and I'm glad to see that it's still online somewhere - I think I might have linked it before, but it still rocks my socks.

There is this snippet of an old Madlib beat and I can't figure out what game he used. Yet it sounds to familiar. Maybe the end gives it away. So if anybody knows. http://www.divshare.com/download/181551-525

I cannot tell you how appreciative I am of the comments found here. I am currently working on numerous tracks that will be released under the 'c64 messiah' name! More hip hop, more c64 sounds, more straight up madness... - cheers
