“I’m pretty sure I have a legitimately sharp edge to my personality”
– El-P
El-P is not a businessman by nature, but rather, by necessity. In a music industry smeared with artistic ultraviolence and held together by cobweb sutures, the Brooklyn, New York-based emcee decided to take matters into his own, deft hands and start an independent hip-hop label in 1999, calling it Definitive Jux Records. It wasn’t long before the label became one of the most legit and dynamic sources for underground hip-hop in the country. “The greatest thing that can ever happen for an artist is to make money off what he does for a living,” El-P says. “One of the worst things that can happen for an artist is to all of a sudden be this little guppy in a fish tank full of piranhas.”

“I think people are questioning the norm more than they did 15 years ago.”
– Kerry King, Slayer
Back in 1984 Slayer and other metal mainstays Venom and Exodus hit the road on what was dubbed the Combat Tour. According to band legend, one drunken night on the tour bus, Slayer frontman Tom Araya – just a tempestuous twentysomething – stumbled down the hallway looking for a place to take a leak. Venom vocalist Cronos joked that the bathroom was right there, in his mouth. Araya proceeded to whip it out and piss all over Cronos’ hair. Sure, Cronos left Araya with a shiner but it’s all part of what makes Slayer, well, fucking Slayer.

“Its like a fairy tale story except that that wasnt necessarily my dream.”
– Mickey Avalon
There are about a million reasons I should not like Mickey Avalon. He is perpetually shirtless, he wears more eyeliner than I do, and he has a single called “My Dick.” Oh yeah, and he used to have sex with dudes for money. In spite of the undeniable sleaze-factor, I cant get his songs out of my head and, well, I rather like him. The embodiment of a rags-to-riches hip-hop fairytale, Avalon has managed to garner the attention of the music press, a bunch of young fans looking to get down and of course, a crapload of teenage girls. In between sound checks and after-parties, I got him on the phone shortly before his Lollapalooza gig.
