DJ Green Lantern revient avec le site HipHopDX sur l'apport d'un groupe live lors de la tournée Rock The Bells avec Nas et trouve des points commun entre le rappeur du Queens et le MC de Detroit le plus connu au monde.DX: You’ve performed with a live band and Rock The Bells in New York. What was it like for you, as a deejay, performing with other performers in a live situation?
DJ Green Lantern: You’re pretty much the quarterback in that situation. I know the show, and sometimes, you’ve just got to be ready to give queues. Like, “All right, we’re going to stop right now based on the queues that he’s giving me.” It’s one thing with two turntables and a mic. And then when you add guitars, keyboards, trumpet, all kinds of stuff, they’ve got to take their queue from somebody. So there’s the band leader, who’s the bass player, he’s watching me, and I’m watching Nas, because sometimes he’ll call different queues on the show to switch up the show. You’ve just got to be ready to be on your toes, because the show’s going to switch sometimes during the show. It’s a challenge, but it’s a fuller sound, and I always like to think it’s fun.
DX: You’ve also performed with Eminem. How is working with Eminem different from working with Nas?
DJ Green Lantern: Really similar! [Laughs] Very similar, dog. They’re both real cool and down to earth dudes. Sit on the bus and crack jokes and watch DVDs. They’re just regular people. They’re very similar.
