DJ

: IT IS NOW TIME TO TURN THE RECORD OVER YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK BEFORE CONTINUING Duma, Man Mantis. Stink Tank, "The Death of Mr. Parker." That's right. - From "Books on Tape." Stink Tank tonight on the 30 Minute Music Hour.

That was a really powerful first set. Thank you so much for joining us. - Thank you. How do you pick your samples?

Man Mantis picks those samples. He goes to Area 51, I think, there's a basement located on the east wing where they have all the alien samples, and I think that's where he pulls his library from, I'm pretty sure. Then how does it come together? Magic, via the MPC 3000, he's got a sampler that he takes all the secret samples that I can't tell you where we get 'em from.

And then he puts a little oregano and some seasoning in, a little bit of thyme, over hot water. I read that you said at one point that hip hop artists are somewhat secret about their influences. Yeah. And samples will speak for themselves, but who are your influences?

Is that a secret? - That's not a secret. Mantis' influences, you can hear it, it's a lot of the RJD2, listen to a lot of Wu Tang, a lot of Rizza. Really hard-hitting samples, with lots of melodies.

In fact, before I even put my lyrics on, the songs sing for themselves. So then when I listen to the music, it's only right for me to write what I write because it already fits. And for me, I have a big influence from Black Thought of The Roots, Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang, NAZ, and MF Doom. Even within all those influences, you are different people.

We're gonna see some more of that in the second set. - Yeah. What's your attack on becoming different people and different characters? I think it allows for more freedom in the writing process.

Because anybody who writes, writes in characters, whether they're conscious of it or not. And we view Stink Tank as a never-ending novel of lots of characters. So later on, we might invite my cousin Jimmy to come by and play with us, too. Jimmy French Fries?

- Yeah, he's a little rough, I have to warn you, though. Mantis is even a little afraid of him, last time we got together. I think he robbed him for some money, actually. Well, thanks for the warning.

- Yeah, keep your wallet safe. All right. We may run into Jimmy French Fries, and maybe another character here in the second set. Stink Tank, playing tonight on the 30 Minute Music Hour.

Duma, thank you. - Yeah.
