.

Web guy, music guy, video guy and takes his shirt off at shows guy are just a few ways to describe Mr Rob Rush. I met Rob after doing interviews with Richie Cunning and Grip Grand when I sent an email asking if he was the Rec League Mastermind. One email later my comments garnered a "Best Email Ever" reply from the dude. Its been "on" ever since.

We've been collaborating and devising plans for the Official Jerky Of Hip Hop to continue its unimpeded take over of every mouth on earth. As part of the plan here is a brand new track by Rob Rush with beats by Juicy The Emissary:

The video below really shows a lot of Rob's behind the scenes talent. He created the Logo Bumps for Richie Cunning, I Shoot Everything AND R2T2 as well as provided post editing for the video. Dude has super skills!

How stoked are we, this guy is working on a logo bump for GreenLight Jerky, I cannot freakin' wait! High quality product at a fair price, can't beat that.

Rob Rush has skills and is a nice humble guy on top of that. That shit is rare these days. Get to know a dude!

Wassup Rob Rush, answer some questions... 

.

1. Why Hip Hop?

Hard to say really.  I always listened to hip hop when I was young, I think the first song I remember perusing was Run DMC and Aerosmith's "Walk This Way".  My parents of course knew the Aerosmith song so a rap version was something I could get played on car rides.  From there it was tapes from the neighbors, and any music I could get living sorta secluded in the Santa Cruz mountains and being very young.  I was writing raps by 3rd Grade which was 1988, Started hearing NWA at the same time I heard Fresh Prince... It was on ever since.

2. If you had $100k Drop in your lap right now what would you do with it?

I think Richie probably answered this question the best.  I believe pretty strong in my team, and if we had the right biz plan to turn money into exposure I think it would be the best investment of $100k possible.

3. If you could have 1 super power, what would it be and how would you use it?

This one is weird, I read comics pretty heavily and a character I used to like a lot was from the Valiant Comics universe.  The character is Rai, specifically Rai from the Rai and The Future Force series. Now I'm talking about Takao Konishi here, the 43rd Rai, anyway...  He was infused with the Blood Of Heros right?  So he had all the normal Rai / Bloodshot powers.  But he also had a Harbinger ability, and that was that he was really inspirational when he spoke and he could get people motivated almost to a crazed mob mentality and I think that would be really useful when I'm rockin' a weak ass crowd who doesn't want to party as hard as I do.  BONUS: If you hunt through some issues of Rai and the Future Force and get lucky, you can find a photograph of me in a Rai costume.  I'm serious about mine.

4. Do you have any skills in the kitchen? If yes, what's your signature dish, if no why the hell not?

Yes, I was a cook for nearly 10 years.  Cooking for 7, no so great, cooking for 70-700. Hit me up. As a matter of fact, the whole Rec is actually pretty nasty in the kitchen, different styles.  I'm mean with the meats.

5. Tell me the worst stage experience you are willing to admit to the public?

Well there are quite a few to choose from... forgetting my verse when opening for Wu-Tang, that was pretty bad.  Also drove once to Mammoth to play for a snowboard DVD release party... however some brainiac put the stage about 400 feet away from the bar, with a rope so no one could take drinks from the bar to the concert area.  So we performed for a sold out crowd that couldn't hear or see us because they were all at the bar (can't blame em).  I then drove immediately home afterwards when the roads were closed, took 12 hours and I was starting a new job the next day.  Thankfully my man QM took over about 10 hrs in so I got a bit of rest.  

6. What is the #1 Junk Food you just can't ever refuse?

GreenLight Beef Jerky!! Although I wouldn't consider that junk food..  okay.. umm  pretty much a fiend for any kind of cheeseburger, fried chicken, 2lb bag of peanut butter M&Ms... I'm really unhealthy.

7. What was your first job as a kid and what did it teach you?

I worked in a baseball card / comic shop when I was 10.  I actually worked in 3 shops from 10-14.  It taught me that comic books will set back your growing up process significantly, and in some cases permanently.   I also developed the ability to communicate with people who are scared of the world and got my cash register chops up.

8. Have you ever had the Zilla Style Dog from my boy Ryan at 4505 Meats in SF? Dude has the best chicharrones I've ever eaten.

Rob's mouth was so full that he was unable to answer the question but he gave an enthusiastic thumbs up!

Bonus Question: Now that you've had it, what do you think of GreenLight Jerky?

Well as I am now an experienced consumer of Green Light Jerky and co-creator of "Jerky Jaw". I must say that the Pepper Grinder flavor is my favorite. I have had PRD for dinner 3 out of 6 nights this week and am about ready to re-up since my last 2lb order only lasted me 10 days.
