**ACcentuous** · 09-13-2005, 05:53 PM

RebelVash: Whats your goal/vision as an MC
q crack walks: my goal is to make great music, at first
q crack walks: i wanted to just be better than this person
q crack walks: then that person
q crack walks: have this and that person notice me
q crack walks: it dont matter anymore
q crack walks: i just want to be about being the best i can, and show people a different side of rap
RebelVash: A different side? what side do you think is being portrayed... and what side do you hope to show?
q crack walks: everyone rapping bout the same shit, with different lines
q crack walks: how many times can sem keep spinning the same shit
q crack walks: and be told he's actually good?
q crack walks: I dont even be wanting to read people shit, it's so sad, even the great ones like you, caus the subjects are so weak, everyone stuck right now
q crack walks: i feel like i found a whole freeway to myself
q crack walks: and everyone reving they engines in the garage
RebelVash: So continuing on this track for a second.. In your opinion the booth is stagnant and repetitive? No creativity. To quote canibus "Same shit different laxative"
q crack walks: yes
q crack walks: I could be wrong
q crack walks: because I'm only reading u guys
q crack walks: the stars, maybe ya just the stagnant ones
q crack walks: a newbie might be bringing heat
RebelVash: Word
RebelVash: So how are you different. In your mind how is your open mics a breath of fresh air to room with no windows sort of speak
q crack walks: it's been that way for the last month
RebelVash: thats not answering the question
q crack walks: u want me to break it down how?
q crack walks: go read
q crack walks: or dl some of my shit
RebelVash: That would be my own interpetation. I wont yours. In a sentence or two... What do you do that others dont? What should others be doing that you think your doing?
q crack walks: i dont think i should be giving other people advice
q crack walks: everyone already thinks they surpassed or close to me
q crack walks: what im doing now is making music
q crack walks: anybody can listen to
q crack walks: warm words
q crack walks: respectul themes
q crack walks: poetic and not cynical
RebelVash: alright lets talk tourneys for a moment. To my knowledge you've never gone all the way in a text tourny yet you were lyricist of the year last year. Why is that
q crack walks: because the tourneys dont make u lyricist of the year
q crack walks: nobody battles went in classic
q crack walks: nobody single verse
q crack walks: been in classics
q crack walks: nobody's deserved it either
q crack walks: i write
q crack walks: all year round
q crack walks: at a pace nobody was fucking with
q crack walks: at a level nobody was fucking with
q crack walks: we talking about times i'd write 3 open mics in a day
q crack walks: and not drop more because the rules
RebelVash: Thats my point. one would assume lyricist of the year would have no problem getting to the finals and sweeping it
q crack walks: i never had a problem
q crack walks: other ppl had problems
q crack walks: when legend beat me
q crack walks: he no showed
q crack walks: and appeared
q crack walks: against my keystyle
q crack walks: and then dick riding votes came
q crack walks: by the time malphunx entered the thread
q crack walks: wondering wtf ppl thinking
q crack walks: it was too late
q crack walks: and the last time
q crack walks: i was bored by it
q crack walks: i didnt want in
q crack walks: i keystyled against funn
q crack walks: and he aint show
q crack walks: i told show
q crack walks: just type anything
q crack walks: he had a week
q crack walks: dropped nothing, and after a while ppl got tired
q crack walks: and they advanced me when i didnt want to do it anymore
RebelVash: So with you being in BVT rnd3 do you feel as if you have something to prove if not to others... to yourself. Like its one more mile marker/ accomplishment to prove/show that you are one of if not the best lyricist around?
q crack walks: not really because i feel sever
q crack walks: is lyricist of the year
q crack walks: hands down
q crack walks: and bvt is just a chance
q crack walks: to showcase my growth
q crack walks: because its so hard
q crack walks: to get a reply
q crack walks: in the open mic booth
RebelVash: Ok. you stated early before this interview commenced that you dont feel any of the writers in the tourney are really a threat. You respect them as MC's but your confident that your skill exceeds theres and that at the end of the tourney you will be the winner correct?
q crack walks: Yea
RebelVash: So in your mind who would give you a run for your money and make you pull out all the stops.Im assuming Sever would be one. are there a few other MC's that you think are on or above our level? if so please name names
q crack walks: I'm not pulling out a stop for anyone
q crack walks: im writing as good as i feel my topic needs
q crack walks: if im writing about my feelings
q crack walks: im not gonna look through it and go
q crack walks: hmm i better throw punches in there
q crack walks: i should add more multies, and use big words
q crack walks: im putting down the exact words, phrases, whatever that shares the story
q crack walks: the way it needs to spread
RebelVash: Ok so in every verse you give 100 percent no matter who the opponent is or if theres an opponent?
q crack walks: depends
q crack walks: how u mean it
q crack walks: 100 percent of the best of me to get the win, no
q crack walks: but
q crack walks: im making the very best music the beat im writing to, and the topic will allow me to
RebelVash: perhaps Im phrasing this wrong. Are there MC's that make you try harder. If so who are they?
q crack walks: no
q crack walks: sever would
q crack walks: depending
q crack walks: on what type of mind state he in
q crack walks: but not for the victory, id wanna write my best for people to look at both verses
q crack walks: and understand, and look, at how to write
q crack walks: for nobody but yourself
q crack walks: and just how dope it can be
q crack walks: when u love your music
q crack walks: and you not worried about other peoples opinions
RebelVash: Do your beliefs play apart in what your rhyme about and how you rhyme. If you weren't muslim do you think your style would be different?
q crack walks: i donno, thats totally unexplainable
q crack walks: right now, i dont think so
RebelVash: are you a devout muslim or only muslim in name?
q crack walks: im far from devout
RebelVash: Are your parents muslim?
q crack walks: my mom is a born again christian
q crack walks: big time christian
q crack walks: she loves her C.I.A shirt
q crack walks: chris is alive
q crack walks: and my pops is muslim
q crack walks: he been muslim since he got out jail, and he converted like every male in his family
q crack walks: including me and my brother
q crack walks: altho, we have different fathers
RebelVash: Do your parents ever argue because of that(the religious differences)?
q crack walks: nah
q crack walks: they not together
q crack walks: aint been for years
RebelVash: ahh ok
RebelVash: Identifying yourself isn't exactly popular in this post 9-11 era so applaudes on that. How do females take that? Does it effect your charm any?
q crack walks: not at all
q crack walks: they ask questions like
q crack walks: if we get married will they have to cover they face
q crack walks: i tell them the only thing they gonna put on their face is my nuts
q crack walks: thats how that go
RebelVash: LMAO
RebelVash: So on the internet at least your known as quite the ladies man. Second in stature only to myself. Is that a mirror of how it is in everyday life?
q crack walks: far from it, i been hugged up with one chick for like 7 months, but that ended last night
q crack walks: i been inside alot the last couple of days, falling back on saved moneh
q crack walks: just chilling til i can figure out what piece to move next in the game of life
RebelVash: So whats the perfect girl for you

q crack walks: patient
q crack walks: respectful
q crack walks: with tits
RebelVash: Ladyloc?
q crack walks: shut up
q crack walks: she's a beast
RebelVash: thats terrible. In my experience she's a great person to talk to :-)
RebelVash: Any final thoughts or other things you'd like to mention?
q crack walks: uh
