how does rap music influence young people
Like his one time partner tragedy in verse, Cormega has suffered a series of failures and betrayals of principles of his career, but he continued to develop his technique and its catalog over the years to the point that it became independent pillar, with respect to work tireless ethic and genuine for his faithful followers-base. Here are some highlights from my conversation with former quarterback earlier this week, while it prepares to launch his third official solo album next month.
Robbie: Do you usually have a small team MC back when you started or you've always been a soloist?
Cormega: I and the tragedy associated with a short time.
Its debut album of DJ hot day, and later with his group PHD. Where did you find this hot day from?
I met him in the streets. And I met a poet, a poet cos it was like a warrior from Queensbridge rappers. We have the song, and the rest is history, man.
How addresses the adoption of KL?
KL of Screwball, man … it was a good brother, the man and this hurts me to see you there. I is not ashamed to say I cried on stage – in a show – when he died. Poet was on stage with me – his real biological cousin – And we all hurt, which were crushed by his death, because it was a good brother.
What was the story with this song he recorded with him, Kyron and Nas called "the" real? This was done by radio Marley Marl?
Do not even know, because I was in prison. I came home and is one of the Marley songs that first made me aboard. A part of me going to jail … I had a lot! Many people do not raise this question because everyone tries to act like Cormega they invented or as I put on, but in reality, Marley Marl was a lot to me. The only reason I did not leave because he was in prison, and the last person known I can make an album in jail! So if you never went to jail, woulda came out with an album. So when I got home, of course, the first place I was at the home of Bob Marley, and is one of the first songs we recorded.
Label that was the agreement to be?
When he arrived agreement of Lords meters, was a double deal. It Pendulum Records, Marley Marl, making it the first person a lot … technically.
You've worked with a lot of great teachers, it is obvious they have a good relationship with him.
Large Professor is my brother, man. I have great respect for the teacher can be more than anyone I respect in the industry. Do not get the credit it deserves – was one of the best of A & R in the history of rap music has never been an American R & A! And as a producer, some of the things he did and some of the people who worked with and setting certain standards – are an extremely high level. It's my brother. I could go and Large Professor to get honest opinions. As he says, 'I, Mega, nah you need to do more than just verse, man. I do not like it. You do more. The song can be good, but he will say: "It's not wack. You must do more, do better. "This is the first time I've had. He and" Lil Fame of fact A & R'd me in many of these songs in my new album.
Many people forget how Large Professor inserted into the vagina Dinner Akinyele album.
It's "Streets of New York "Kool G Rap, Rakim things with him, he has things to Nas, to Akinyele. I, Large Professor gave producer of rhythms, where they put their name on it when I really did! Some good sources too! I know because I've seen him do things like that.
What do you look when you beat the team?
I did the first thing they teach you when you were little – you listen with your ears! Many rappers have a tendency to chase the prestige, so do not just take a beating any producer who is a super-producer or producer will da beat, because they want to sell records. But I follow my heart and my ears. If the rate looks good, I use – I do not like your name! It's like food – you can go to a restaurant has the best name, but if the food taste like crap – it tastes like shit! You can go to a small, small restaurant and the food can be delicious. In Which restaurant to go after that? That is great, right? So the same thing.
What is the importance of fidelity been throughout his career?
Loyalty is the web of life. If you have loyalty, his life is even better! Loyalty can ruin friendships, loyalty can ruin families! Think about someone in your family betrayed you – how you would look in them – because they expect different family, or think of someone who is a close friend. Now someone do not know if they are infidels do not really care. Therefore, loyalty is one of the most emblematic of a strong relationship. I've always been very serious, because a person is fair is a person who can go all out for.
Trag said there were many true love in the studio to draft QB's Finest. Do you think that is enough unity in the bridge?
First, tragedy does not say anything that was not true. The tragedy is 100%. If it were not by the tragedy, I probably would not have been placed in Queensbridge finest. From what I understand, this tragedy has told a particular artist, "If Mega is not here, it may well get me out of the song. I do not want to be here. I also heard about the lake, for me too. But artists from Queensbridge, I can not front – I'm a good relationship with Lotta artists, man. Like 98 or 99% of them. There's a song on my album called "self-definition and it is really a song Queensbridge. Chorus I say, "It's time to unify the belt time to use your wealth / Destiny is something you decide for yourself. It's like say "I man, what we do" We have more and have learned much and experienced many things. Fuck all the differences, let's get the money and what we do! We're here to rap is what we intended to do. I have a version on my disk that has a little rap in it, but I have a remix that I will have a Whole Lotta rappers in Queensbridge. Blaq poet has just sent his verses, and nature has already done his verse, so there will be many surprises of the album and with remixes.
Nature? Wow …
Yes I'm fine with everyone, and people who are not cool with me? God bless. [Laughter]
You have worked with many people outside New York. An Extended Touring the ear?
This has been a real person hip-hop, because at the end of the day people who put in a box theyself – usually stay in this box, and once the lid of the box you will not be able to breathe! Not only affect people New York, deals with things that I like. Some of my favorite rappers are not New York! Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite rappers – without exception. No rapper – rapper! Is from New Jersey. Scarface is one of my favorite rappers – is Houston. Slick Rick is one of my favorite rappers – is New York via England! Therefore, it is not just New York, it's music. Premo east of Houston. I will work with anyone from anywhere place. If the person is dope, and I respect them, I work with them!
You have a strong online community to organize the legal forum. Must be nice to be able to get direct feedback from your fans.
If … Sometimes I get too many comments! But above all it is a good site. In fact, Chris's site told me to do the interview with you – like your site. It can sometimes be a bit boring, but yelling at Chris. [Laughter]
You can get so annoying some comments about when things start small buts?
Yes, sometimes they do. But you have to love him, because at the end of the day, artists must understand the most important person in your career is not you! It is to the fans! The single most important person's career is that fans give to God for the talent – if you have talent. Is not his family, but the fan, 'cause the fan, it is possible that you can earn a living to care for his family. People should see the fan as your boss and if the boss is not happy that their work will not keep very long. Therefore, it is good to hear. I love my fans, I can honestly say that.
It interesting, since most of the fans generally want to continue doing the same record over and over again.
There is nothing wrong with trying something different, but you have to know how. Do not just jump out the window. You can not be down with U2 next week and then you dress like Boy George.
[I burst out laughing]
It is a radical change. When you are underground rappers of the street are talking about "putting back from New York "and have their first single] sound [sic Auto-tone like it or this has been done to address the South, how will you bring back to New York? you say you have to bring New York in the South for a visit? But from the sound, you may experience. I did a song about my daughter - that's an experience, but I did for my fans are going to get all crazy, because that as she listened to the song. I continue to ravage it and the pace is always nice, but the pace is different - not hitting a gangster. It is a man being beaten. Like Kool G Rap - on top of streetness had a song called 'Erase Racism. Did you remember? I was not crazy when I heard this song. He was different, he experimented, but it was a song of man. He was a human element and it touches the things, and that's what I try to do. No dial tone on my hard self at all. For those who do, if it works for them? More power to them, but I can test with dignity and respect for my fans.
Speaking G Rap, is considered the greatest of all time?
Good question! Because I Supreme Rakim look like TM, but when I think about it ... rap is like boxing, and Kool G Rap is like the boxer who does not want his favorite boxer to box, because in reality I do not know what will happen. You know that his fighter could defeat this man, and you know that your boxer will beat this guy, and chat with your friends, you say, 'Oh, my boxer will beat this guy! But Kool G Rap, that boxing is that you really want, deep in your heart desired, he could overcome my favorite guy. Kool G Rap is the most underrated rap ever. Definitely do not get the credit it deserves because he is the model for many rappers - including me. You have rappers that the street can rap amazing but when it's time to go crazy lyricism? They can not do. See, Kool G Rap has a song like "Road to Wealth" - is the epitome of the songs street, but a song like "Men At Work" is the epitome of the lyric! Kool G Rap is certainly incredible. Not enough people who were cut by the same pattern as him.
Who else affecting him develop his style?
Kool G Rap, Rakim, Slick Rick, T Rock, MC Shan. These are my biggest influences. LL Cool J! "It is a very underrated artist. People do not realize LL Cool J has done everything! It has good songs, which made great records, has sold records and was an MC battle! He fought against a very good MC is also - and won. I mean, come on! This kind goes against Kool Moe Dee at the time ... Melle Mel, some artists. The guy gets all the women in general, as most hated - and LL! I do not care a damn what his rapper name, there is no rapper you can name who has never had a girl who did not LL liked! Not only rappers - Everyone had a daughter who loved LL. mothers of people like LL! I see the old swing out when LL! I think LL - being so successful to Throughout his career - which has declined as it was really. People tend to forget that he was a ferocious battle MC. "Mama Said Knock You Out", "El Gato" Ripper "Rock The Bells" - The original version, because he remembers that there are two versions ... [Begins rhymes] What words?! Lyrics! But ask the average person of young people, know that LL. They only know that LL licks her lips and get all the women, but do not know LL had words of "ass! Not be underestimated, is underestimated, because it has done so much for rap music. Many!
What was with you playing ball in his Timberlands in the "Who am I?" documentary? They are a bit heavy for this shit?
Yes, but street shit! As in the streets, sometimes, when your outside you can take your boots and maybe you want to shoot some hoops, just shoot some circles in their boots. But I am sure that I represented – I saw you hit that three point shot?
Ja! Can you run through some of their favorite songs from the new album?
ERP was the last producer the album and who holds one of the best songs, so that one of my favorites. The song Easy Mo Bee Fight Music – is really hype. My daughter's song is probably one of my records over successive ordinary people who are not yet in me. I'mma be honest with you – the song that period RD is a bit different, so he knew about music. It seems a little Caribbean rhythm. This exotic way that one of the songs I have curious to see how the audience reacts.
How did you manage to follow Easy Moe Bee?
Oh my god, I love this song. This song is not recommended for white people to play with only trying to relax, "because whites to be a little hyper! This song makes you want to jump and mosh pit-and do crazy things!
This effect Documents RP about me – early put on the car windows and shit.
I'm glad you said that, for the glory of Lil 'is in the song with me, I can see where I go.
Crazy. Anything else to add?
Nah man, Thanks for having me. October 20th man. It is of back!
