Broken Equipment is the name of the down south duo that has been bringing you the up and coming animated classics on the web. I wanted to shed light on them. In the midst of all the beefs and such they have managed to create a buzz based off of their creative spin on things. I also caught up with Twinn for a Quick Interview.
Ice T admits to doing a few corny things himself when younger.
"Broken Equipment started as just Twinn and Fatt Kidd. It's now become a company with more than just 2 brothers. Back in 2004 when we lived in New Orleans, Fatt Kidd came up with the name. It came from us being 2 poor teenagers being able to use whatever we had to make progress. Everybody who knew us back then knew we had actual broken equipment. But we made it work. We use that name Broken Equipment as a metaphor for how we think. Broken Equipment is the mind. Even if somebody thinks you're f*cked up in the head or you're not like everybody else, you're still determined to make it work. "
Boosie and Webbie collaborate for another hit.
"We both rap and make beats. We do equal work besides Fatt Kidd doing more animating. But we both rap and make beats. It's been that way for about 11 years now. Whenever a rapper messes up. That's when he can become a target. We're trying to get to that stage where when rappers need that publicity, they do some dumb shit hoping that BEP is gonna make a spoof of them. I think we're halfway there. But as of now all it takes is a phone call."
The two top dogs in the game right now break out with new perforemance!
This is a PSA for all you rappers that haven't been paying attention.
"I don't think we ever had a rapper besides Baby Boy not like what we do. I think everybody has a dream to become a cartoon one day. So when they see themselves, no matter how bad they're getting dogged out, they think its hilarious. Plus they getting free pub from it. As of now, BEP is gonna be in stores with our dvd, Filno Files, later this year. We have two mixtapes coming. Of course we do music and produce our own songs so we're gonna be pushing our new song "HUAH!". We're doing a video for Greg Street and Barack Obama. Just adding more to our resume. We never had jobs so we call it working on not working. Just off youtube alone we made a living and we would like to take that further. We got the Equipment."
And on a lighter note.
Pay attention to BUN B. word for word, he gives you his opinion on ring tone rappers.
