'Watching Movies With The Sound Off' is a fucking HUGE change from 'Blue Slide Park' and I love it.The music has gone from well produced happy-go-lucky college rap to brilliantly produced rap that is veering straight into leftfield. When Blue Slide Park came out I was 15, and I thought 'that shit's dope' but then I started moving into different areas of electronic music, more specifically the L.A and Glasgow Beat Scenes (Hudson Mohawke, Lunice, Flying Lotus etc.). From what I can tell you have donesomething similar on a much grander scale than me and most of my questions are regarding that.
1.) The track S.D.S. is produced by FlyLo, what was it like working with him? Did he just send you the beat or did you guys sit down together?
2.) What made you change from the happy-go-lucky college rap 'genre' to the somewhat darker L.A beats area?
3.) Of the beats you produced on WMWTSF, which ones are you most proud of?
4.) On 'Red Dot Music' one of the opening lines is 'who the fuck is Mac Miller', so in your own words who the fuck is Mac Miller at the moment?
5.) In one of your videos (can't remember which one) one can see the young Mac rapping 'Rapper's Delight' by the Sugarhill Gang. That made me wonder what aspects of the old school influenced you in both your older and your more recent work?
6.) What do you think are the best hip hop albums of the last year? The most overlooked? What rapper is really tearing it up that almost no-one has heard of? What's your favourite non-rap song at the moment?
7.) aaaaaand finally who are your favourite electronic producers at the moment?
I know this is quite longwinded so just answer what you want.
