Broussard, Egyptian Lover was a rapper, DJ, and producer who was hugely influenced by the New York electro scene, as well as by the electro-funk of Zapp.
In his 2013 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, Egyptian Lover talked about his fascination with Egypt, his predilection for the Roland TR-808, meeting Prince, and much more.

This was flat-out party music: not afraid to be a little corny, and dynamite on the dancefloor. Although he began associating with Uncle Jamm’s Army and Radio Crew, it was as a solo artist that he made his impact. “Egypt Egypt” was an LA anthem in 1984, and On the Nile was one of the first hip-hop albums to come out of the left coast. Even after gangsta rap swept away all that before it, his early works have remained staples of electro sets across the world,

You can read more about the interview with Egyptian Lover here... ► www.redbullmusicacademy.com/lectures/egyptian-lover-lecture

@djdanger1969 8 лет назад

At 46:20 , when he makes reference to not getting the big head, and thinking he's better than anyone else. Having known Greg personally for almost 30 years, I can honestly say, he is the one of the most down to earth, helpful people I know.

@brandonmosher640 8 лет назад

+djdanger1969 Yup! My parents as we speak are in his studio. Month or so ago my dad(who was a HUGE dj fanatic back in his day and idolized Greg) met Greg. And he is humble and funny as could be. Like I said it, you'd never know he is famous if you just bumped into him.

@tropicalbeach9225 2 года назад

yeah it is kind of weird... because this interviewer looks very uncomfortable and timid.... they probably should have a more interested or enthusiasm person

@sstofsofficial1416 6 месяцев назад

Agreed :q. He seems nervous, and it doesn't help when Egyptian Lover is so smooth fun and charismatic, you gotta have a interviewer who can match that.

I think the host is a good example of what happens eventually to one who drinks red bull - at some point not even red bull will make you move, the crushdown

This is the kind of episode you get when the artist OWNS their product! No deleted songs.

@GucciGambino1967 5 лет назад

Everyone there are not old enough and were not around in the 80's but they wont realize how things were. You have to be a pioneer. I was in highschool mobile DJ'in with 3 different crews. He was supreme, and Dre was in a different crew before NWA..10th, 11, 12th grade..good times..

@wingedeathnoisewave 3 года назад

It’s hard to be a freak in the modern age.. there’s too many freaks who are offended and want to be accepted as “normal”. No heat on the interviewer (obviously not a freak).. But Egyptian lover was as smooth and genuine as one could ever hope for! What a legend.

@gregtanian 4 года назад

Really glad to see him do a complete 360 in his success. What a story. I brought one of the few copies in the UK to Dial a Freak and was hooked. Totally fresh and innovative. Back then Egypt Egypt came out in England first. Just wish I was in that audience cos those punks look like they had not a clue of your experience back in the day.

Never knew that the electro clicky sound was the 808 that so cool

@fabianavalos1386 Год назад

I too was a young DJ in that era. Many fun times. I didn’t know him personally but I knew people who knew him, Joe Cooley, Tim Young and BobCat to name a few. I lived on the WestSide and they would come to my house to watch me get down. They would give me tips and I succeeded to the point where my dad had to purchase 1200’s and a GLI mixer. I was was doing high school lunch dances and proms at the age of 15. I’m so glad he used the term “ triple thread.” There is also “ thousand thread.” A real Dj would know this

Been a fan of E.L since beginning of 85 since I first heard Egypt Egypt on a french radio broadcast and it truely blew out my mind, and whole the 80's E.L was my # one DJ artist at the time. But unfortunately his sound wasn't the same for me after the 80's, the golden age had passed.

This man is a Legend. My first 12 inch vinyl purchases was My Beat Goes Boom by Egyptian Lover. We were barely teenagers and would travel to San Francisco and Berkeley California record shops in the City to get the latest electro and new hip hop flava! My buddy was spoiled and would drop 300 on records in one day back then.

Egyptian lover is the best. I dreamt last night of a video clip, a remix of Egyptian Lover in cyberafrofuturist Cairo and LA, staring Rami Malek, who has a great speaking voice by the way and would make it peanut. Full package.

This Egyptian lover seems like a very talented and down to earth type of guy. He is cool, would not mind kicking it with him. However, I still kind of cringe at this interview because that interviewer looks so aloof and insular like he is just there to get paid to record the interview. Would have been better if the interviewer showed more interest and enthusiasm.
