Interviews

Half Wit It · 07-28-2014, 05:40 PM

So I'm cool with a few local authors who are affiliated with some small time magazines. Let them hear my tape and a few older tracks and basically they were twisting my arm about doing some YouTube interviews or just audibly for an article or some shit. I told them I'm pretty reclusive when it comes to these things and don't like people knowing much about me personally.

Looking for a general consensus in regard to what the purpose of artists agreeing to interviews may be.

Is it solely for promotional purposes or to give fans a chance to get to know the artist they're to listening better or both?

I personally find these people(interviewers, radio personalities, etc) annoying and disrespectful at times.

Give me some insight yo.

If i find sum1 to be talented in a certain medium that impresses me i generally tend to be interested in getting an idea of how their mind works....what their personality is like....etc

It seems backwords to do the interview without a base fangroup to take interest in ur craft initially to provoke genuine intrigue towards a potential interview scenario

Tldr - no1 trynna see an interview w random nobody nig rapper 9659347

Vick Slate and 8th from RF run that site... I'm sure they'd give you some good advice, seeing as they run a business based on showcasing upcoming rap artists.

I'm a bit reclusive myself, but when I found out my picture and interview would be printed in a vcu magazine, I jumped at the opportunity.
