Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Flea Talks Hip-Hop

Honestly, I'm not sure if rock-n-roll enthusiasts debate over the G.O.A.T. in the same manner Hip-Hop junkies discuss the best MC. If there is a raging discussion, I'd definitely throw the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in the arena of candidates right there with acts like The Rolling Stones and U2  (personal preference, people!). Now, it is safe to say that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers (presently comprised of Anthony Kiedis, Michael "Flea" Balza ry, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer) don't care about those trivial matters so we won't walk down that path. However, AllHipHop.com had the unique opportunity to talk Hip-Hop with Flea, the master bass player of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The result is a really cool interview with a legend that likes Dilla so much, he shed tears of inspiration. Enjoy this conversation as Flea extols Hip-Hop from Grand Master Flash to Ghostface to Odd Future and check for part 2, where he delves even deeper. (Editor's Note, the rest of the conversation with Flea continues in a separate piece, where he explains The Red Hot Chilli Peppers' new album, I'm With You.)

AllHipHop.com: Definitely. Um, since this is AllHipHop.com I have to ask you, how do you, you know, you guys have always had a slight edge of hip hop to your music. And even more so depending on who you ask, um, what are your thoughts on hip hop? Who do you like? Who do you appreciate, you know?

Flea: I go through phases, you know? I’m actually, right now, I was doing this thing. I was playing with Erykah Badu a while ago, you know, and she really…(got me into J. Dilla)

AllHipHop.com: Yeah?

Flea: …and I know about J Dilla a little bit and she really…

AllHipHop.com: Yeah?

Flea: …she got me hooked. And for, like, the last month that’s all I’ve listened to.

AllHipHop.com: Really?

Flea: Actually, like, I was up in his house in the mountains? And I was up there listening to, I think, the rough draft EP of J Dilla?

AllHipHop.com: OK.

Flea: It was like brought me to tears because of how beautiful it is. And then…

AllHipHop.com: Wow.

Flea: …and then (as a kid) I discovered – growing up Jimi Hendrix was my big thing, you know? And it was like, as a kid, it was almost, like, what raised me, you know?
