I.S.A
1) You are from?
A: Harlem/ Bronx, NYC
2) When and why and did you want to be a rapper?
A: I wanted to be a rapper mainly cuz i got tired of singing lol, but it was around 13 or so. My first rap was about food to "Special Delivery", some stupid shit. The ultimate reason as to why I wanted to be a rapper was to expand my musical horizons vocally.
3) What do you think about hip-hop and where it’s going?
A: Hip Hop was dead a long time ago. Now were in what id like to call "faggot-POP-RAP". If any of u reading this still thinks that hip-hop is here and elevating, classify urself guilty of "faggotpoprapetry".
People don't seem to realize that bodies extend far beyond physical shells. Even though hip-hop has been out for a few decades, it's still considered a baby. And as with all bodies, bodies change. Right now, i would say hip-hop is a toddler that wines too much because it always wants something to play with (i.e. bitches, whips, money). However tho, with this understanding of bodies it is inevitable that hip-hop will become an adult someday.
4) Who are your 3 favorite hip-hop artists?
A: Tupac, DMX, Eminem
5) Who would you say are the best 3 artist out right now?
A: Sadly all these faggot ass rappers sound the same, so i would say Eminem, Jadakiss and Kanye West: Eminem for his flow, Jadakiss for his wisdom, and Kanye for his creativity.
6) Who inspires or inspired you?
A: My experiences inspire me. Usually people who hear other rappers tend to emulate who they are fans of. So obviously i listen to no one but my favorite rappers, instrumentals, my own stuff, and the "winds of life".
7) Pick one word that describes your style?
A: Individual
8) What makes you unique?
A: The fact that i don't listen to anyone or give into society's guidelines makes me unique. I only listen to my own advice because at the end of the day, its MY music. When someone tries to be cool, they are no longer themselves. They’re just a bunch of copycats of the stereotype as to "what is cool". That's the reason why everyone has the same beats with virtually the same bars and hooks! Always remember, to be yourself is to be TRULY cool.
9) Why did you pick the stage name you have, and what does it symbolize?
A: The I.S.A stands for The Internationally Sick Artist (well the main one), and it symbolizes that in the "World of Music", I am "internationally capable", representing my versatility. Gimme a jazz beat, I’ll spazz. Gimme a bluegrass beat, ill spazz. Gimme a Japanese soundtrack, I’ll spazz. I always find a way to mesh well with any beat I put my effort into.
10) If you had one thing to say to listeners, what would you say?
A: Stop being dumb. Think for yourself for once. Don't listen to the radio. Don't emulate what the fag-rappers are saying in their songs. Investigate other realms of music before you criticize them. Hip-Hop is a way of life, so we must all understand how great of an impact it has on the world. Hip-Hop is the only thing that has influenced attitude, fashion, Hollywood, and being along with many other things. Use your heads my friends, it’s not too hard. I wish us the best, and may God bless us all.
