Peace, Love, and all that good stuff! QoS- “ If hip-hop has the ability to corrupt young minds, it also has the ability to uplift them!” – KRS One WoS- Culture- The culture quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellence in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits etc. Off Topic- Lion King Audience | Oprah Golden Globe Speech #2020 | H&M “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle” Topic #1 – FlowGodFlaMo Tell us about you, your super hero story! Where di your name derives from? How you got into music? What motivates you and/or motivated you in the past? Do you have comp, what’s your ideology behind competition? You have a new mixtape that released today, tell us about the Flamo process of creating a project | How do you like it | How long does it take to create, record, then finalize a project Break -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Break Topic #2 – Rochester Local Talent and Support Rochester is a very some timey community when it comes to supporting local talent of any kind. Whether its radio, hair styling, sports, Dj, Artist, Rapper, Singer, Dancer, etc., Rochester will literally pick and choose who they want to support and who they don’t want to support. Overstanding this its hard to conquer this small pond because of how wishy washy the support is here, even up to our local radio station the good ol reliable WDKX unless money is involved then they are all for your .5 spins on the daily mix. Knowing this anybody trying to shine and make some noise in Rochester have to move a certain way to gain some traction. Reason being speaks to the natural I have to make it first mentality local talent have as opposed to having the lets conquer together mentality. Topic #3 – Hip-Hop Today Hip-hop today, in this present time, is what I would say is a hit or miss industry. What this means is you are either making hits, club bangers or you missin out on all the money, fame and fortune. We have so many different types of rappers now it’s hard to vibe out to the vibrations of a diverse selection of music because they all sound the same. It’s not about lyrics and vibes anymore its all about how dope your production is. If you have a dope beat and catchy hook you are destined to make millions, if it generate the right attention. With this culture in hip-hop today how can the MCs reinvent themselves and/or take back over the game as a whole. Is that even possible anymore? Who is on your top five of all time list? Groups count as one I been thinking about this for some weeks and now you guys get to hear my thought processes behind the spectrum and who falls where.
