everybody hates roosevelt

news this week for those of you keeping score.
len went insane on friday. i'm not quite sure of the full causes but one of the things that came out of the conversation was that studio distribution closed it's doors last week. if you understand that then you understand a lot.
now len has made his recovery.
i'm still insane.
today len called me and the message was something to the effect of. epitaph. andy has to put it in his ipod on shuffle. swamped with releases.
it's the labels "it's not you, it's me" speech.
who would have thought it would be so difficult to put out a record.
one last idea.
i guess i'll make the call in the morning.

hovering around the sun, waiting for the rain

if you've noticed there has been no new news. i've spent a lot of posts on letting other people do the work, and photos. distraction tactics. the reason is we don't know what's going on. the reason for that is this. we're basically waiting to hear back from one final person before we decide which road we are going to take with the record. this is it. i've said it before and thought that i meant it, but this time it is for sure. hopefully this week will bring some light on the subject. either way the record will be out soon. and once we figure it out finally the process will go into full steam ahead. it's either on smacks or on (?). time will tell. and when she tells me then i will tell you...

roosevelt franklin vs dj shadow

Experiments In Pop Culture: Music To Sweep To

I, Kimani Rogers, of sound mind and body have made a composition of sorts of instrumentals and sound bytes put together for your listening pleasure. I did not make this record to change the world. I made this record because I had a desire to make some noises and needed a forum to do so. This record is good for putting on in the background when you sweep your floor, or finish a paper, or are high with a girl on your couch and are trying to figure out if you should make out with her or not. If she laughs through the duration of the third track the answer is definitely yes.

This is the cover

minnesota love

May 2004

The following is an interview I did for Hiphopcore.net in may of 2004. interestingly enough our record is still not out yet. third earth music r.i.p.

Hip-Hop Core: How did you hook up with the rest of the Masterminds exactly?
Kimani: Tarik and I went to college together. We lived in the same dorm, we liked the same records. I used to have a radio show and he would come on and freestyle. After a while we just decided to make an album together.

HHC: Some years down the line, which Masterminds album is your favourite and why?
K: The "Stone Underground Railroad Soup". I like them each for different reasons, and I can't pick one. I don't really listen to either of them so I don't even know. "Underground Railroad" was more straightforward boom-bap, and "Stone Soup" was more experimental, but I think they both captured the period of time when they were made accurately

HHC: I've read that "Stone soup" was based on a European fairytale, could you explain that?
K: Yeah there is a European fairytale called "Stone Soup", where a poor beggar gets a town to help him make a tasty soup filled with carrots, potatoes with only a stone. It's alchemy, making something out of nothing, and after our nugruv situation where we literally had nothing, it was a fitting title for what we were trying to do.

HHC: "Stone Soup" really had a lot of political elements in the lyrics whereas "Underground Railroad" was a lot more centered around pure emceeing. What gave you the will to become more involved?
K: I mean we had some songs about things on "Underground Railroad", like 'Day One', '2025', and 'Memories', but the rest was some just rapping about rap shit. Personally there is only so much rapping about rap that I can tolerate. I can relate more to songs about issues, about life, dealing with emotions and passion. So it was a progression on "Stone Soup" which I think is very evident on "Something's Gotta Give". Most of the new songs are about something or another. Things that people can relate too. My family has been politically involved all of there lives, helping in the community, and educating, and that's how I was raised. And that is a definite part of me. I also like drinking jack daniels, and I used to fuck white girls, that's a part of me too. And I try to balance all of that in my music. I feel as if Masterminds got boxed into this political rap category, and I wanted to make sure I got out of it a little for a while. And so on the Roose record aside from on 'Troublearth', there wasn't much in the line of political rants.

HHC: "Stone Soup" also showed a lot of different musical influences going from reggae to seventies rock and electronica. Why did you change your signature sound in such a radical way?
K: I think we built on our sound. When we did stone soup, I think we consciously set out not to make the underground railroad two. For good or for bad I think we accomplished that. A lot of artists make the same record over and over again. You expect them to do something and they do it, and people are cool with that. I'm not like that. If I wanna hear the underground railroad I'll listen to that, not my second rendition of it. We might have gone a little far from what the listeners were expecting, but I don't really care. It's music. I'd rather take risks and fail, then be boring. And I think some people appreciated us for doing what we did. It's not like with the beats that we went out and were like let's make a weird ass record. I listen to all kinds of shit, and it was more like instead of being like “nah we can't try this kids will think it's crazy” , we were like “We like it, fuck it let's do it”.

HHC: I got to tell you that I really thought "Stone Soup" was a remarkable album… but it was definitely overlooked. How do you feel about that?
K: I think most of what we do over here is overlooked. We don't have the big budget to be in your face, and we're not a machine yet, so slowly people are catching on to what we're doing. We're a new label. This is the beginning of our third year. And interviews like this one I
appreciate so more people will hopefully catch on to what's going on at Third Earth.

HHC: Do you plan to do another Masterminds album in the near future?
K: Maybe (2006 editors note: yes)

HHC: How did you hook up with Mr. Len and decide to create the Roosevelt Franklin entity?
K: I met Len in an online chatroom. He was keystyling battles under the pseudonym “Freestyle Phanatic” and he had the ill style man. He use the asterix symbol like nobody I've ever seen before in my life. He originated that shit man. Anyhow we decided to make this record together and shit man it's been history in the making. That was 7 years ago. And it's taken that long since RapGuysWhoLikeGirlsButts.Com went out of business, it was hard to track Len down. But while I was going to my AA meetings, Len was next door dealing with his addiction to Skittles.

HHC: Could you tell us once again what is the origin of this name, Roosevelt Franklin, by the way?
K: Roosevelt Franklin was a Muppet on Sesame Street back in the 70's. It was also the first record that Len scratched on when he was young. (My Name Is Roosevelt Franklin - 1974) My daughter loves the record too. It's a fucking great album.

HHC: What's up with the whole Muppet thing?
K: I have a felt fetish. Girls used to like it when I'd put on my Animal suit and jump around the room before we had sex, so I just figured why not translate that into our music.
HHC: What did you want to accomplish with "Something's Gotta Give" compared with your respective solo careers?

K: I personally wanted to make a record that sounded absolutely nothing like a masterminds record. I mean this was the first time I basically got to write a whole album from my perspective, by myself. And for better or worse, that's what happened. With this record, I was hoping to go rubber. You know what I am saying?

HHC: Why did you chose to use a minimalist and funky production?
K: I think the minimalist and funky production chose us. That or girls.

HHC: How did you get involved in rap music?
K: Am I involved in rap music? Well if I am I'd have to say it's cause of Run DMC.

HHC: Tell us what are the ultimate records according to you, those that everybody should possess in his/her collection?
K: Michael Jackson "Thriller". And Prince "Purple Rain". If you have those two you are golden.

HHC: Do you have any collaboration (as Roosevelt Franklin or in solo) in the works?
K: We just started working on the next album. It'll be out by the fall. That's the only music I'm working on right now, but I think Len is working on 15 billion other projects.

HHC: You've done a US tour in January. What about Europe , some shows soon?
K: I've never done a European tour, and I'd like to before I quit the rapping, so hopefully we can do that this year…

an interview of sorts

Eskimo Rig Ran’s Field journal
Subject: Roosevelt Franklin

I spent hours on the net trying to get to the bottom of this rumored Roosevelt Franklin project with Mr Len of the world famous Company Flow, and Kimani Rogers from the Masterminds. I polled a few of my online friends who had seen them live in concert, and I was intrigued. My friend Shara Dunn had likened their performance to the Blue Man Group. I’m thinking what the fuck kind of Hip-Hop is this? Very peculiar indeed. She did however also mention that they were extremely sexy, as did every female I interviewed regarding them. They all seemed to mention something about wanting some “Muppet Love”.

Over the course of a freezing New York City weekend I was able to catch up separately with both members of the group and hold brief interviews about their forthcoming project. What follows is an interview with Mr. Len who made me meet him at Tom’s Diner on 113th street in Manhattan and insisted that I cut my hair and dress like George Costanza otherwise the interview was out of the question. I obliged. Here’s what was discussed.


Eskimo: So what the fuck is this Roosevelt Franklin thing about? I mean what made you guys decide to do this record?
Len: Roosevelt Franklin is a movement, a very powerful movement. Not much unlike the womens' lib just with a penis.

Eskimo: It says here you were in company flow, I’m a relative rap new jack so tell me what the hell is that?
Len:Company Flow was a movement, a very powerful movement. Not much unlike the Teamsters just with living members.

Eskimo: Can you describe the roosevelt franklin sound?
Len: The Roosevelt Franklin sound is... rrreeeeeehhhhhtttyyyzzzzzssssdddpppppwwwwgrrr

Eskimo: I read somewhere on the internet that you came out to the perfect strangers theme song at your last show, don't you think that's a little un-hip-hop?
Len: Un-Hip Hop????? Balky was the illest B-boy. The dance of joy was one of the most bit hip hop dance steps ever. Ozone from Breakin' did it all the time.

Eskimo: When did you start djing?
Len: Why is that important?

Eskimo: When did you start producing?
Len: Funny thing about produce, when its green its fresh, when its black its not.

Eskimo: What kind of equipment are you using?
Len: On what?
Eskimo: I got your demo here, and where are the songs about the guns and the bitches?
Len: Who gave you that?

Eskimo: Who the fuck is roosevelt franklin?
Len: A man, a very powerful man. Not much unlike the Gooch just visible.

Eskimo: Do you think you guys could kick sum 41's ass in boxing?
Len: That question can be answered very easily in 2 words.......ASK THEM

Eskimo: What's on your mind right now?
Len: De boer molk zijn koeien en stuurde de melk naar de markt.

Eskimo: Did you ever see the movie deliverance?
Len: Thats the one with Tyrese right?

Eskimo: Why is 3 the magic number?
Len: Uh....almost got me there. You're pretty sneaky.

Later that week I was scheduled to meet with Kimani. The morning of the interview I was awakened in my hotel room my a woman named Nellie. She proceeded to beat the living shit out of me until I was within inches of being unconcious. She informed me that she had been sent here as a favor to Kimani and that if I wanted to remain alive that during our interview I must refer to myself as Adam, as Kimani seems to have some strange fascination with the 60’s Batman television series. I was also forced to speak in the same tone as the revered Adam West. Here is how our interview went down.

Kimani: How are you doing Adam? What happened to your eye?
Adam: I am fine I slipped and fell on the ice on my way here. Let’s get started.

Adam: Which historical period is your music most similar to?
Kimani: I’d say the post-industrial, pre-industrial time. You know when Men acted like men and women acted like women, and goats weren’t plentiful, and the daisy’s were spotted.

Adam: Which prog-rock group was most influential on your musical development?
Kimani: I don’t know if you would consider them prog-rock but the 1985 chicago bears.

Adam:Which biblical passage would you use to describe your music?
Kimani: I’d definitely say Old Dirty 3:16. I mean cat’s have tried to write him out of the bible like he wasn’t an integral part in the advancement of man. He’s a bit shameful for the right wing. But there is truth in the statement “You shut the fuck, and you shut the fuck up! That’s what the fuck you do!” And I think that’s what Roosevelt Franklin is all about.

Adam: Why does rap suck?
Kimani: Because rap sucks.

Adam: Which is more important, money or art? Why?
Kimani: Money. I can take all this artsy fartsy progressive hip-hop shit down to fairway and it might get me some smiles, but it won’t get me any groceries. But I take Ben Franklin down there I can get me some chicken and beer.

Adam: You are invited to perform for the President of the United States. Youcan only perform one song. Which song do you choose and why?
Kimani: I’d choose Black Sheep’s “U Mean I’m Not…”. I’d choose that song so that George Bush will know that I don’t give a fuck, and he better give me back the Playstation 2 he stole from me biyyyatch.

Adam: Have you ever gotten into any brawls with one another?
Kimani: Me and len haven’t, But I constantly fight with myself everyday in the shower.

Adam: Break down the significance of the name, Roosevelt Franklin.
Kimani: Roosevelt as in Roosevelt, and Franklin as in Franklin. You see?

Adam: Do you expect this album to attract more females or more males? Why?
Kimani: I expect it to attract more females. Two words “Muppet Love”. It’s the new free love movement.

Adam:What is the central theme or themes behind the Roosevelt Franklin project?
Kimani: Non-conformity. I think we’re trying to do whatever the fuck we feel like doing, and if people don’t get it, then who the fuck cares?


Later that weekend I was able to witness one of their performances. It was mind blowing. Although they seem to be extreme assholes to members of the press, their music is so moving I think even the jaded might be inspired to have a good time. Only time will tell. I can say this has been an experience like no other. The Roosevelt Franklin album “Something’s Gotta Give” is available in stores now on Third Earth Music. It features guest shots from Slug, Jean Grae, Murs, and Science Fiction and you should pick it up, (and I’m not just saying that because Nellie told me too.)

Editor’s note: Eskimo Rig Ran is an Alaskan folk singer with an album coming out on Def Jam Alaska 2005. He has written for Hustler, O, and Sports Illustrated.

to the pain

1. the princess bride is definitely one of my favorite movies ever.
2. this is technically the first roosevelt franklin song we ever made
3. that is me "playing" the guitar. i don't know how to play the guitar. but i own one.

to the pain



HUMPERDINCK

A technicality that will shortly be remedied ... but first things first. [He draws his sword] To the death!

WESTLEY

[Slowly sitting up] No! To the pain!

HUMPERDINCK

I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase?

WESTLEY

I'll explain, and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand. You wart-hog-faced buffoon!

HUMPERDINCK

[Insulted] That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me!

WESTLEY

It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you lose will be your your feet below the ankles, then your hands at your wrists. Next, your nose.

HUMPERDINCK

[Impatiently] Then my tongue, I suppose? I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight.

WESTLEY

I wasn't finished! The next thing you lose will be your left eye followed by your right!

HUMPERDINCK

And then my ears ... I understand! Let's get on with it!

WESTLEY

Wrong! Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why; so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness is yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman that cries out, "Dear God, what is that thing?!" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "to the pain" means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

HUMPERDINCK

I think you're bluffing!

WESTLEY

It's possible, pig. I might be bluffing. It's conceivable you miserable vomitous mass, I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. Then again, perhaps I have the strength to stand after all. [Slowly he stands, his sword pointed at HUMPERDINCK's chest] Drop ... your... sword! [HUMPERDINCK throws his sword to the ground] Now, have a seat. [To BUTTERCUP] Tie him up. Make it as tight as you like. [BUTTERCUP obeys as INIGO enters.]

Catching Up

So Kimani Rogers met Leonard Smythe in 1996. Kimani was a student at Wesleyan University who had started a magazing called Off The Top with his friend Lauren. Lauren was friends with a guy named Jamie who was in a band called Company Flow. Lauren and Kimani went down to lower manhattan to interview this Company Flow. Kimani was also in a group called The Masterminds. The two groups did some shows together. They became friends. In 1999 Kimani called Len to do some cuts on a song called "The Fast Way" on a Masterminds EP. Around 2002 Len talked about producing a Masterminds record. That never happened. After Jam Master Jay died Kimani called Len to talk about it, and they had a long conversation about how fucked up the world was.

The result of that conversation was to make a record together for shit's and giggles. They picked a name, picked some beats, and then decided to do a show. They played the knitting factory. The first show the songs weren't even finished. Kimani read his lyrics out of his notebook. They did a cover of Public Enemy's "I can't do nothing for you man". They held a sing along to "I've had the time of my life" from Dirty Dancing. They had a question and answer session with the audience. They knew they were on to something.

They made a record. It came out. Some people liked it. Nobody bought it. They did a tour. Some people came. A lot of people didn't. In connecticut a man in a budweiser hat had a harmonica and played along to muppet love. In Kansas a drew barrymore look alike started humping Kimani's leg during a song. In Chicago the audience demanded an encore, but they had run out of songs. Kimani lost his cell phone. Len lost the tour book. They eventually came home.

Time passed. They decided to make a new record. They were going to make a diary about the recording process, but they didn't. Kimani recorded the vocals in one sweaty afternoon. Len mixed the record. It's called bare food. Today is friday. By monday I will explain the record to you.
