I Love a Good Interview Pt 2. (&3)
A couple weeks ago I put up a Donald Glover interview done by HardKnock TV (https://wedontbelongg.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/i-love-a-good-interview/ ). I was pleasantly surprised when I went looking for more of his interviews and saw that it was only one video of a four part interview. So here are the 2nd and 3rd parts to it. When the next one comes out in the next couple days I’ll probably post that too.
I love listening to him because he gives insight into a world that is speedily changing. It started at a place where everyone who wanted to make music had to be a gangster with street credentials, which it has been for so long (and to a point still is), to a world where its now acceptable for people to talk about their personal struggles in the songs, past the point of “I used to sell drugs because I grew up poor, and now I’m living the good life”. He references Kanye as one of the main originators, if you will, behind the uprising of this new culture of hip-hop. When he proceeds to talk about the artists that he respects all have that “do it yourself” attitude (in the 3rd part) it gave me some ideas and motivation for me to try and put something out. But for now its all concepts, so we’ll see how that turns out.
