Musical Tastes
1. Pick a Coast to rep (Chiraq or Atlantistan) - ATL
2. What’s your favorite subgenre of rap? (Conscious/Backpack, Trap/Drill, Mafioso, WC Gangsta, Swag, Weed, Hyphy, Club, etc) – Depends on my mood. Sometimes I love to bang some gangsta shit in the car and other times I’ll chill to some conscious stuff.
3. Favorite Artists (Pick Five) – Chance The Rapper, Fashawn, Curren$y, Wale, Pusha T
4. Favorite Artists Outside of Hip-Hop (Pick Five) – Miguel, Frank Ocean, Jagged Edge…any smooth baby making music. Outside of Rap and RnB, I don’t listen to anything else.
5. What was your hip-hop AOTY last year? What’s your current hip-hop AOTY? Wale – The Album About Nothing. I know how much hate there is for Wale but it’s one album I can ALWAYS listen from start to finish and enjoy it every time. Current AOTY is TPAB for sure.
6. What are you listening to right now? Chance The Rapper – Acid Rap
7. What’s something you like that you might consider a guilty pleasure? What’s something you haven’t listened to that you think a hip-hop aficionado might give you shit for? Guilty Pleasure- My girl plays Taylor Swift all the time. I secretly like some of that shit haha!
Something I’ll cop shit for- Wale’s, TAAN being my AOTY last year.
8. Rank a Random Rapper’s Discography (Pick Someone With > 3 Albums)
Lupe Fiasco – The Cool > Tetsuo & Youth > Food N Liquor (did not feel the production at all) > Food N Liquor II > Lasers (let’s forget that album happened)
GAF-Hop Discusses
1. What do you like about the current state of hip-hop? What’s missing from the game? I like that albums such as TPAB and 2014FHD are selling such high figures. People are showing they like to actually hear some talent regardless of how little radioplay they get (over here in Australia anyway).
2. Who’s Your Favorite Wu-Tang Member? Method Man
3. Jay-Z or Nas? Biggie or Pac? Young Thug or OG Maco? Nas. Pac. Young Thug.
4. What Hip-Hop Album Are You Currently Anticipating? King Push – Pusha T. Cannot fucking wait.
5. Who is the Most Underrated Emcee? Who is the Most Overrated?
Underrated: King Los, dude could go toe to toe with anyone bar for bar. God, Money, War showed he has improved his songwriting and looking forward to his proper debut.
Overrated: Em, of course.
6. Would You Rather Eat An Ass or Have Your Ass Eaten? Neither. My experience with the former was horrendous.
7. Onions, Avocados, Both, or Neither? Onions.
8. Do you still listen to Eminem? Why? Not often. Occassionally I’ll play Eminem Show or Relapse.
9. Who’s your favorite pop artist? And who’s the finest? Answer to both- T swizzle.
10. Recall a personal event that went down about a week ago...Had a job for a day and quit. I’ve done that a few times aha.
