M.I.C's Interview by admin, 12/24/08 09:49:32

At What Age Did You Start Making Music?

lol,very funny question actually,I say i was like 9 yrs old,but wasnt doing hip hop,I was at that age where i had a soft high pitch voice,and was really just coming around to trying to holla at the girls,so i started on some rnb shit,ha,and i had the girls melting with what i was saying,i was sounding like Keith Sweat,lol,and then around the age of 13 my voice got deep,and i started to realize girls werent all that innocent and sweet,so i started writing nasty songs,and then started going through all the bullshit that follows in HS became a Latin King when I was 13 and was banging hard on the streets,and making that money,I would go home hook up a boombox that recorded on tapes,and then another next to it playing instumentals,I would record for hours till i got it perfect,wish I still had them tapes,probably some of my hottest work,no doubt,as gangsta as it comes,plus the lyrics were sick,so yeah around 13



Who Infuenced You To Make Music?

The truth is I never really Had an influence,I had MCs that I loved to death,and respected but never really influenced,I was into hard shit like Canibus(My Fav)whom would blow my mind with his wordplay,Rakim who was just so smooth and ahead of his time with great lyrics,Mobb Deep had that gangsta shit,Wu tang,DMX,Nas,Pun,Big L,CNN,M.O.P.,Keith Murray,and so many more whom made me really love music,but what i like about them most is that they each were so original,so i couldnt let myself be like them,i had to be my own artist,and not be influenced by them,or i could never be as good or better. My influence was just Hip Hop rhe pen and the pad


What Type Of Music Do You Make?

I make music that I like to listen to,I dont like anything on the radio,strait up,so i make music for myself for me to bump to,and if others feel it,then they must be like me to relate to it,So to all ya out there who feeling me,just want you to know even though i didnt do this for you,It belongs to you just as much as it does to me




What Is Your Music About?

My music is about me,that it,things i go through in life,things in my mind etc.I dont spit about shit i saw someone else do,or said,i have a lot of pride in my music so i got to keep it real always,and only talk about my life,my stories,my mood and energy.Sometimes I think some crazy shit that might be over the top for some people,but fuck em,my name wasnt chosen it given,people been talking behind my back and even to my face saying,"Mike Is Crazy",people who meet me know what im about,and trust me,im far from the average man




How Often Do You Make Music?

Im making music all day everyday for real,might not be recording,or writing all the time,but trust me when i say this,my mind dont sleep on hip hop ever,all day thinking of hooks and punchlines and sometimes write down on any paper i can find,if you looked in my wallet you might not find much cash,but theres a fortune of lyrics crumpled up making my wallet fat


How Do You Feel About Music Today?

Honestly,I really dont like all the commercial shit on the radio,but i will tell you this hip hop aint dead,not at all,theres so much hot music out there,but guess what?They dont play it on the radio,so i never turn it on


What Inspires You To Make Music?

Beats.plain and simple,when I hear a beat and i make a song its not only cuz the beat was hot,its because the beat talks to me,sometimes its like i dont make the music,its like i hear the beat,then i hear the flow in my head,but the words are distant,so i listen closer,and find my lyrics like that




What Is The Difference Between Your Music And Todays music? What Makes it Unique?

Thats too easy,listen to them,then listen to me,and its clear,they represent a dream created by the rich,i represent the truth that really is.They talk about money,cars clothes and make videos advertising it all.The truth is the majority of the people who like their music will never have what they have,yeah they might dress like them,talk like them even live like them to an extent,but never will they have the money they have because they are spending the money to live a lifestyle before they even make it , as for me,i don't do that shit,i buy clothes because i think i look good in it,i buy a car cuz i need one,I fuck a woman who wants my dick,and comes back for more without need of money or anything else,lol,i drink hennessy cuz i like getting fucked up,i live my life the way i do for me and no one else,yeah i want money and shit,but trust me if i ever make it to be rich,i will not be remembered for 10 to even 20 yrs,im going down in history forever,cuz with all that money,i can do what people call the impossibe,but trust me,nothings impossible when im involved.
