Legendary Hip-Hop photographer and “Fourth Beastie Boy” Ricky Powell is releasing a DVD compilation of the greatest moments from his equally legendary, early 90′s public access show Rappin With The Rickster next week.
Here’s some info about the set:
Disc 1 features “The Best of Rappin’ With The Rickster (1990 – 1994)” – a collection of Ricky’s handpicked ‘best of’ moments of the show. As expected it’s full of celebrity appearances and interviews including: The Beastie Boys, Russell Simmons, Laurence Fishburne, Sofia Coppola, Spike Jonze, Sandra Bernahrd, Tone Loc, Cypress Hill, Run-D.M.C., Billy Preston, Kim Gordon & Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and more !!
Also included on Disc 1, “Rickster Bouillabaisse” – a collection of snippets and antics starring Ricky Powell and a host of legendary figures and moments from the cable access show baring his name. Some of the highlights include: Eazy E, Beastie Boys, Beck, Q-Tip, SEEN, ZEPHYR, Bobbito Garcia, Everlast and more!
Disc 2 also features an updated version of Ricky’s cable access show. The unique “Rappin’ With The Rickster 2010” – a look at what Ricky has up his sleeve in 2010 and beyond. Celebrity guests include Dante Ross, DJ Eclipse, and Stay High 149.
It’s dope that this material will not be lost to history, so this will be a must cop for me. Although the official release date is July 27th, the set is availabe for order now over at UGHH.com. They also have parts 1 & 2 of their interview with Ricky up for your perusal.
Bonus: another interview Ricky recently did with Conspiracy Worldwide Radio.
