Below is an interview between Ill Vibes, and a new upcomming hip hop artist "Asher Roth". I posted this interview on here because it reminds me allot of my self, almost as though I'm reading something my future self would write. Check this out, this could be me and you D-Mon
IV: What enticed you to start rapping, and more especially how did you hone your craft so well?
AR: It was all just an after school hobby - something I liked to do in between school and baseball. (just like me, it blows my mind) I was at a very impressionable age when I picked up on hip-hop - i was just really attracted to its ruggedness - it was edgy and different from the stuff that was being played in my household. By the time junior and senior year came around and I was still 100 pounds - the idea of pro sports started to fade and rapping in the basement became more my thing. At 16, my friend Brian Sellers (Footie) (could be you D-Mon) and I ended up recording a CD together in his basement off beats on mp3.com. We were called Suburban Threat and the CD was called Ezia Sed Den Dun. Replacing our books with burnt CDs we sold 250 copies in 2 days. I ended up blowing that money on Reebok classics and weed.
People were fairly receptive to that first CD so I stuck with it in college. Rapped in my dorm room, recorded in my dorm room, sold some copies around the dorms. Rapped at parties, rapped in talent shows, developed rap turrets. Like any craft it's just a matter of doing it. I did it, I do it, I love what i do.
This could be me, it's amazing. It describes me in the past when I started, and it describes me now and what I do. I hope that this is my future as well. Big props to Asher Roth, check his music at http://www.thedailykush.com/.
