Exclusive in-depth interview with De La Soul at Paid Dues. Part 3 of hardknock.tv’s interview with De La starts with Pos sharing that he first wanted to be a DJ before an MC because back then the DJ was the life of the party and the MC was just doing echoes. As the interview goes on, Dave says that he enjoys some Gangsta Rap like NWA but that when Gangsta Rap started talking over Hip Hop culture De La never felt pressured to follow in the footsteps.
Pos continued saying that De La always fit in to a few different facets of the culture and that they could tour with LL Cool J and RunDMC and then go do a Fine Young Cannibals tour. Dave goes on to say that some of their most memorable song experiences were corroborating with different artists from the Beastie Boys, The Gorillaz, Chaka Khan to Teenage Fan Club to so many others.
Before they let De La go they asked them that having seen what Tribe Called Quest went through with their documentary, would De La be open to doing a documentary themselves. You are going to have to watch the interview to hear what they had to say on this topic!

Jeffery “Machine” Mccann, 29 years old, started dancing at the age of 9 in Sacramento, California. Being on the streets, watching Martial Arts movies, and being part of Hip Hop in the early 90’s, all influenced his dance styles to vary from old forms of rocking to acrobatic tricks. He started his dance career with Show Biz Productions working with the Sacramento Kings and Sacramento Monarchs. That opportunity soon led to Jeff dancing as a professional b-boy around the world in places including Toronto, Rotterdam, France, Japan, Moscow, Italy, Barcelona, Germany and many more places.
Winning first place at Red Bull King of the Ring Toronto 2006, being voted Bboy of the Year 2005 on Freestylesession.com, picked to organize the 2004-2006 IBE USA teams in Rotterdam, performing on the Golden State Warriors Breaking Squad 2006, and choreographing for Nine Parts of Desire at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2006 are only some of his accomplishments. He also originated the concept of Stay on the Court while co-promoting it for four years.
In December of 2006, he decided to make the big move to Los Angeles. Since moving down to Los Angeles, Machine has been a dancer in “Step Up 3D,” “Step Up II: The Streets,” “Party All Night” — Sean Kingston music video, “How Low” — Ludacris music video, “Forever” — Chris Brown’s music video, “Dance Flick” feature film with the Waynes Brothers, The Cheetah Girls National Tour, “Dancing with the Stars” “Blaze” — a Hip Hop theatrical tour in Europe, “CSI: NY,” LXD episode “The Experiments,” Conan O’Brien with the cast of LXD, Access Hollywood with the cast of Step Up 3D, “Glee,” as a contestant on “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 8, judged the Red Bull BC One finals in 2011, and his crew, Killafornia, won first place at Freestyle Session 13.
