P.O.S. talks about collaboration with Dan Yemin

Contributed by jamespastepunk. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 2:00 PM (EST)

In an interview conducted by our friends at Pastepunk, P.O.S. talked about some potential collaborations with Dan Yemin of Paint It Black:

Me and Dan Yemin have been talking about collaborating for almost two years now, just because, I met him at the Gainesville Fest a long time ago, and we already known that we were aware of each other through various correspondence via Dillinger Four in Minneapolis.

I named that song "Lifetime…Kid Dynamite" just because the chorus has a reference to Lifetime in it and I just figured it would be a good name for the song and apparently both Dan and Jason are fans of hip-hop, that was cool. I'm hoping me and Dan can collaborate in a big way, I'd like to do more just have him come sing out something or play guitar, I wanna do something big with that guy.

P.O.S. released Never Better in 2009. Paint It Black delivered the Surrender [7 inch] and Amnesia [7 inch] in 2009.

Check out the entire interview here.

Dan should teach him how to point as his head and have his veins pop out while he's rapping.

I love Dan, but his facial expressions should be enough evidence to scientifically prove our relationship with chimpanzees.

or how to get hit in the mouth with the mic and spit blood while screaming Paint It Black's lyrics. Love the guy, him and Aaron Bedard still bring it for the old school guys pushing 40.

moderately excited. even tho i've never really gotten into much of POS's stuff. it just seems really contrived to me, the whole "hey, i'm going to make an effort to sample punk/hardcore songs" thing. i'unno. i suppose if that's the way to get more "punx" kids to branch out and listen to more rap, so be it.

..He doesn't really do that though...

To be fair, he grew up as a black kid listening to punk rock. He did listen to some hip hop but he can probably talk more in length about Nation of Ulysses than Tupac. I really feel his music reflects that, in that it sounds like rap made by a guy who listened to punk music and not so much a contrived pairing.

I listen to alot of hip-hop, and I just think this guy is really overrated.... could be cool though.

This is a much better collaboration though:

Well, if you listen to a lot of hip hop you clearly must know. Thanks for that qualifier.

And yet you counter that with Cypress Hill, really? Are you insane in the membrane?

so what is good hiphop these days? seems none of those guys have anything to say other than club stripper suv jewelry etc. that crap turns me off big time. cant stand it. not terribly familiar w pos but i've seen interviews where he takes very anti-materialistic stances and i can get behind that.

I think it's pretty safe to say that P.O.S. fits in the underrated category rather than the overrated...

How is it a "better collaboration" when there is no existing collaboration you're comparing it to?

And come on dude, I hope you were joking about this because that collaboration is absolute shit.

You could have at least posted a link to the Teenage Fanclub/De La Soul song or the Del da Funkee Homosapien/Dinosaur Jr song.

Helmet with House of Pain and the Onyx/Biohazard ones are my favorite. That soundtrack was full of good songs.

Article also should have mentioned that Jason Schevchuk was on P.O.S.'s last album.... pretty good track.
