Rappers that seem intelligent and articulate on the mic but come off badly in interviews?

[CitySojourner]

I know this is a rap thread, but it's always uncomfortable watching a Jhene Aiko interview.

Why's that?

She's incredibly inarticulate and long winded which is a bad combo. She makes good music though.

Idk why i like her. She isnt really a good singer. She stays the same tone for themost part. Kinda talk/sings.

I listened to her album and all the songs kinda sounded the same.

She has a nice voice tho. I like her on hooks. She fine too

Rick Ross comes off like a complete idiot too..i don't think he's ever said anything worth expending the energy to say it.

Interviewer: Mr. Ross, could you comment on the recent bombings in the Middle East?

Ross: "Most definitely. You know we out here like a boss. I got my Reebok sneakers, shout out to Reebok for holding a nigga down. And I got my crew out here like Gunplay, who about to release an album, most definitely. We out here eating chicken wings, shout out to Wingstop, most definitely. So you know, like a boss, we be doing what we doing. Just gettin' money...most definitely".

Dude definitely takes the Billy Madison Award for Hip Hop Interviews

French Montana sounds like a real retarded person when he talks but im going to assume his music isnt intelligent either

If you took a gunshot to the head and lived, you would sound retarded too.

Dude's probably not even listening to the questions, just rinse and repeat with the bullshit answers...

If i were a fan of his, i'd may be able to tolerate the non-sensical repeated bars calling himself "a boss" on every song, and even tolerate the stolen identity, but in interviews he should at least come off with some semblance of being genuine.

Ab-Soul most def brah .

Between 2003 and 2004, French was shot in the head as he was exiting a recording studio in New York. He was taken to the hospital after the incident and survived.

Telling Information owns this thread.

I cringe every time this country bumpkin talks.

Goat rick ross nonsense talking b.s.


Id say skip to a part, but the whole thing is funny

I usually hate rapper interviews in general as they are usually vague and use a bunch of canned responses.

Interviewer:How's the album?

Rapper: it's crazy man, it's crazy. You already know what time it is.

Shit like that.

If a rapper said that to me I'd respond no I don't what time is it or how crazy is it...jst to fck with him

shieet....now i'm picturing some British bumpkin asking a rapper this question...

Rapper: "...you know what time it is"

Interviewer: "I'm sorry sir, but i do not know what time it is...perhaps your shiny watch has the answer to our question"

Rapper: "nah, nigga...dis don't tell time...this ain't a 'watch' watch. its just a watch"

Nas is a brilliant lyricist but in interviews he can come of kind of slow or depressed.

LMAO!! He said

He has a problem with authority

 

[LUClEN]

Damn... some of these rappers sound like athletes who get interviewed right after the game

Adding to this

Interviewer

What can we expect from this album

Rapper

We gettin money out here so you know what it is: we gettin money.

Like nigga, I asked about your album, not your bank account. We hear complaints about interviewed asking the same questions but these rappers give the same material...

 

[eternal soldier]

idk about intelligent in his music but T.I always tryna use words in his interviews that have u saying this guy mustve heard someone say that shit and he's been waiting to use that

He also uses words at the wrong time, even though they may technically fit. It ends up sounding mad awkward like, "man this pizza's toppings are perplexing magnificent. My decadent tastebuds cannot contain themselves. After this meal ill go for a delightful post-prandial stroll."

Lmao

I had to wack that tho, how do u use words at the wrong time if they technically fit?

Well sir this is a rather astonishingly misguided post. The excerpt from the fellow above was accurate in its testament as to the differentiation between connotative and denotative diction and how the young lad TI fails in his comprehension of such elementary concepts. Hopefully this diatribe can provide clarity for you on this topic and clear up any cognitive disonance that is ocurring in your cranium.

Word.

I might get some no signs, wack sand flags but Chuck D makes very inspirational music, but when it's time to do an interview he's not as articulate as you'd expect.

And KRS sticks his foot in his mouth when he does interviews. When I was a teenager I thought he was deep. But now that I'm older I see the importance of formal education.
