Obviously, this is a thinly veiled attempt for me to convince Robbie that the Chubbster was a major hitmaker in his time, with back to back party anthems for a couple years. This was never more evident than this year at the Live At The BBQ Reunion party where Kaewonder and I were subjected to hearing ‘Treat ‘Em Right’ 5 times that night played by multiple dj’s. He did have other tracks, guys! Since that night, the phrase “this is more of a shock than Robocop was last year” has been getting some serious run in our conversations.
Big up once again to our man Sean on the footage. I can’t tell if Chubb Rock is just the best lip syncer ever, or if he actually got to have his mic turned on, but it definitely sounds like the vocals are being done live. Only Nia Peeples knows for sure.

Nia Peeples’ show was fully synced - that Chubb Rock joint sounds straight off the CD.
What destroyed the illusion for me was when GangStarr was on. I forget what song, but I think it was the second performance of the two they did. They showed a close-up of Premier from right-hand side and behind, then, out of nowhere, his tonearm jumped. Not skipped; I mean it JUMPED a whole wax track forward ON CAMERA, like someone smacked the top of the back weight by mistake. Of course, the cuts still sounded perfect; in fact, exactly like the release. Hmmm…

I so wanted Nia Peeples back in the day. Was it Howard Hewett who beat me to the punch? Garbage!
Is Chubb making any cameo appearances on records or dropping anything new lately?

Somalian/Canadaian MC KNaan has a new single called “ABC” which features the Chubbster!

Chubb takes the mic away from his mouth at 1:06 and his voice stays the same…. synced.

I never took her show seriously anyways.
