PICS: Baseline Studios Closes Down
After weeks of cleaning up, Baseline Studios officially closed its doors tonight. Photographer Alexander Richter made his way to Baseline for the wake/viewing service held by one Justin Smith in honor of the legendary recording studio. Find some pics below:
More pictures at Alex’s.
Best of luck to Just wherever he decides to set up next. Hopefully more great moments (along with songs and albums) can be created there too.

i wonder what factors shut it down.
January 29th, 2010 at 2:54 am
yeh I’m late on this news, why was it closed down??
January 29th, 2010 at 5:36 am
[...] De legendarische Baseline Studios (waar menig klassieker tijdens de hoogtijdagen van Roc-a-Fella opgemonen werd) kappen ermee. Na weken de boel opruimen nodigde Just Blaze fans uit om een laatste kijkje te nemen voor de mythische stekker eruit ging. Fotograaf Alexander Richter was erbij en schoot een paar mooie plaatjes, check ze hier. Gespot via Nah Right? [...]

It got shut down because it costs a tremendous amount of money to run a building in new york, especially a recording studio where the equiptment has to constantly be updated.
Most home recording studios cost at least 20 grand (I’m not talking about a mic with a sound cancellor and a laptop).
The catch is most artists who have big enough budgets to still use big studios have home studios so they grab an engineer and knock out an album at the crib.
No question Blaze was losing money on that building every month.
Hopefully Dame’s DD172 can stay open, seems like an interesting (if not a profitable lol =) venture

(CNN) — Human remains found buried under recently-added concrete at a home in Plant City, Florida, are likely those of missing lottery millionaire Abraham Shakespeare, police said Thursday.
Deputies made the discovery after a tip came in, suggesting investigators would find a body near a home in Plant City, according to CNN affiliate WFTV.
Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee said the body was slowly being uncovered. They are awaiting positive identification.
However, Gee said their investigation and information specifically led them to the area after they began to believe he might be dead because of “sinister means and motives.”
“Our indications were it would be there,” Gee said during a news conference Thursday night.
Police on Wednesday had scanned the newly finished concrete slabs near the home on Wednesday and removed it. On Thursday, Gee said they discovered the remains buried five feet below the surface, and it appeared the remains had been there for awhile.
Shakespeare, a 43-year-old truck driver, won a $31 million Florida lottery prize in 2006. A year later, he won a court challenge from a fellow trucker who accused Shakespeare of snatching the winning ticket out of his wallet while the two were delivering meat to Miami restaurants.
Shakespeare’s family reported him missing on November 9, telling the Polk County sheriff’s office they hadn’t seen him since April.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said when their investigation began, they had hoped to find Shakespeare alive “and he truly had just wanted to hide from those who were asking him for money.”
“As our investigation continued, the information we developed led us to believe he may very well have ended up with an untimely death,” Judd said.
Both Judd and Gee said they would not comment on whether anything else was found inside the manmade grave, or whether a previous person of interest was connected to the area. The home, according to WFTV, belongs to the boyfriend of a person of interest in the disappearance of Shakespeare.
While they await identification of the remains, police said they would begin to shift their focus to a murder investigation.
“It’s painfully obvious he didn’t get there by himself,” Judd said.
Gee said police from Polk and Hillsborough Counties were already working with prosecutors on the case and hope to bring to justice the person responsible for what they believe is clearly cold-blooded murder.
“Somebody put that body in that hole,” Gee said. “This isn’t by any means just where we find someone on the side of the road. Somebody has obviously put him there.”

Why would you even attempt it..
I’d just start stuttering like Jay Elec lol
January 29th, 2010 at 10:15 am
I refuse to accept that theory about hit records.But,I resigned to the notion that that’s a modern theory that’s true in today’s music climate.
^^
But its not a modern concept Jerz. It’s how music has worked since Berry Gordy discovored the formula for hit singles with Motown’s assembly line.
I think you’re equating the word “hit” with the word “dope”, or “classic”, and thats just not the case. There are some horrible hit records. There are classic records that never touched a Billboard chart.
This aint new my dude. I mean, I Aint No Joke wasnt the biggest hit rap record of ’87, Salt and Pepa’s Push It was.
And yea, we definetly beat this topic to death, lol.

Yo, I was reading a article a few years ago, I think it was Newsweek, and the basic gist was that winning the lottery is usually the worst thing that can happen to someone. Cats was sniffing themselves to death, getting extorted, having hits put on ‘em by their wives, the whole 9…

If i won the lottery, i’d go back and buy every rap album i want in CD. Like even shit i wouldn’t listen too, just for the collection…

January 29th, 2010 at 10:36 am
I already told niggas yesterday what I would do with the lottery. Buy large piece of farmland, cop a shitload of alpacas/llamas, and then get like 5 or 6 free roaming German bred rottweilers to she to help me shepard them. We’d all just be walking around and shit. I dont know why but that thought makes me happy.
I’d also fly in assorted porn stars/kindergarten teachers/escorts/church secretarys to the crib on a daily basis to not only fuck, but also to feed my llamas and rotts. There’s a good chance I wouldnt see another male for the rest of my life.
