Typical Rapper Interview Responses....

[FreshAIG]

Interviewer: that's crazy man! Since we're on the subject tells up about your relationship with Jay

Rapper: Awwww man, that's my brother right here. You see when you come up together in the streets that's family that's what we gotta call it.

Interviewer: That's right. When's the last time you talked to Jay?

Rapper: I think it was Christmas Eve a few years ago when he dialed my number on accident. We chopped it up (lie) but you know Jays a busy dude.
*

Interviewer: Being a close friend of Big (or Pac) what were those last days like?

Rapper: Ummm you know a lot was going on back then. That night actually Puff (or Suge) had asked me if I'd chauffeur Big around LA (or Vegas), rock the driving cap and everything. We were on the way to the car but I stopped to tie my shoe and when I looked up they were all gone. That could've been me.

LMAOO son I swear every rapper claims they was almost in the car either Biggie or Pac got shot in

Nardwuar: Hustle Crowe, welcome to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Rapper: Appreciate that homie.

Nardwuar: So, Hustle Crowe, tell us about your music.

Rapper: Well, I’m a street nikka first and foremost. Slangin, shootouts, had broads on the strip, all that. I was never no musical type of dude, but, about a year ago, I started rhyming for fun and my peoples encouraged me to do it cuz they said I’m gonna end up dead if I keep trying to get this street money. So I dropped a mixtape and we just started killin the streets, feel me?

[USSInsiders]

So in your lead single, "Hardbone nikkas (No Homo)", you say, "..Catch your clique in the street, you nikkas gettin' beat/ gripping the heat, lay you flat like a sheet." The blogs are buzzing, social media is buzzing, was this a shot at *rival rapper*?

Oh nah, man, nah, see man, this hip-hop shyt? This? This hip-hop shyt? This shyt is competitive man. This is like nikkas on the basketball court cussing and hollering, man. This shyt is just fun and games man. My music is representative of the existential struggle of a hungry nikka in America, man. That's why my label called "Hungry Gang Entertainment". We hungry nikkas, man, real talk. We gotta do whatever the fukk we gotta do to eat in the streets. nikkas like *rival rapper* are doing they thing. They trying to feed they family and shyt. I'm not trying to fukk with the next man, real talk. Listen bro, there's so much money in this industry, there's enough for everybody. Ain't no way in hell I'm trying fukk up that nikka's hustle, man. He's dope as hell, I fukk with his music big time. That line was just a metaphor for the street life where I'm from.

Ok, moving on, your upcoming album is entitled.... "N-Words Without Sporks". Can you explain the concept behind this project?

Ha, it's cool man you can say it, I give you a pass. Yeah it's called "nikkas without Sporks". Reason why I say sporks instead of spoons or forks is cause the spork is like of combination of both those things you feel me? A spork is a spoon and a fork, and I'm a real nikka, but I'm a sensitive nikka, too. It symbolizes the complicated shyt in life, but here's the problem, bro... I'm hungry in these streets, man. Even now with these whips in my garage, I'm hungry, man. I gotta get me a bigger crib for my babies, so a nikka is always hungry, but we ain't got sporks in our hands. A nikka can't eat without a utensil, that's not polite. I'm a classy nikka. But every track on this joint is like a movie, I'm the director taking you into a day of my life in the hood. I'm gonna show a white boy like you, no offense, what it's like to really come from the streets. This is gonna be album of the year real talk. It's a classic.

Interviewer: So your last album underperformed, was it the label, the sound, the singles, let us know?

Lil Smokey Mane: Well first of all, the album didn't underperform. I knew I was making a certain album with a certain sound for a certain group of people. That sound ain't for the clubs, I didn't sit down and say "I'mma write a song for the ladies", I wasn't worried about the video, I'm not making songs for the radio, I don't want you to just play my album in the car, this wasn't for the average person who calls themself a fan, nahmean? My shyt is personal and the people who rock with me, the people who know me and been followin me, they get that. That's who the album was for, those the people who bought the album, the album did what it was supposed to do.

Interviewer: an album that wasn't for the clubs, the cars, the ladies, the tv, the radio, or the fans

Lil Smokey Mane: Yea man, I'm just expanding the blueprint Jay laid, it's new rules in 2014
Interviewer: Ok, well it seems like the label wasn't too happy, what's your situation with them right now?

Lil Smokey Mane: Yea man, sometimes in this business you have to ask yourself am I making the music I want to make, can I make the moves I need to make, or is someone holding me back. I mean, I love nikkas Ain't Gettin $ Records, they put me on, they made me who I am, but I feel my voice is loud enough to stand on its own. So I got this lil situation I'm working on, I don't want to say too much, but I got some good people with me, I also got some great talent on my squad, I got a singer Brooklyn Champagne, my Smokey Mountain Gang - shout out to Forest Fire, Yogi Bear, and my producer Cabin Woods. We also got a new high end liquor coming out, Smoque'roq. So just keep your eyes open, we'll be making a lot of noise in 2014.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Rapper: I really expanded my horizons and went in a different direction on this album.

Interviewer: What are some artists you have on the album?

Rapper: I have Lil Wayne, Drake, and DJ Khaled on there.

Interviewer: oh really, what about production.

Rapper: yea, some real different shyt. Timbaland, neptunes, mike will made it, hit boy, they all gave me some real different shyt, it's a sound you never heard from any of them before.


Interviewer:

[Brother Jheri Curl X]

Rapper: ...I mean, a lot of these rap cats is basically frontin. Anyone that knows me knows I'm for real. I'm not for play. I'm in the streets all day except for when I got an interview or a show. So my rhymes reflect my lifestyle. You know I'm certified and authentic. That's why the album named "Ways of a Thug"

Interviewer: Word, word. So what's the best way to reach you.
