5th Letter- You think the IC is dying?

DarthRozay- eh, depends on perspective. you can look at the glass half full or half empty. either way it's not as popular as it used to be. man, the hack of the whole site was pretty crazy. coming to the front page expecting to see something like "50 cent releases 7th single from new album no one cares about" and instead getting hit with dead bodies, racist shit, etc.

5th Letter- What were your early memories of the IC?

DarthRozay- damn man, a lot of my early memories are of the donkey. I was a small fry on the IC in those days and I don't think most of my posts went unnoticed, but I remember legends like BookerT, CarlWeathers aka Uncle_Carl one of the greatest IC posters I've witnessed. you had joesun, that 1 dude who had beef with goobs, he used to use the hamburglar from mcdonalds to rep him, I remember dude had photoshopped game's Doctor's Advocate into something with burgers lmao. I caught the tailend of Lufa Kangs vs The Revolution. The big hack by 4chan that one year, with tons of grotesque stuff all over the front page. random lil things too, like Graduation leaking and there being different versions without Wayne on Barry Bonds.

Plus you've got all the latest crazy shit that's happened. Shenco roast thread, Bruse Wane roast thread, Bow Wow roast thread. supergangster and blackgod droppin hilarious non-english quotes. Couldn't forget the time I got "exposed" for being a cracka by JG. You know that fool gee looooooooooves to bring it up. It's gotta be in his top 10 favorite things to say; along with all the 50/em/dre/suge/mmg shit, bringing up the time turf supported kreayshawn, and of course the "mexican cracka STEWpid".

5th Letter- What was the craziest things you've seen since you've been on the IC?

DarthRozay- but crazy shit that actually went down within the IC? man the exposures back in the day were wild as hell, people would be postin up someone's personal info like where they worked and shit, their actual personal info not just "oh look I found your twitter, why you tweetin @ nas so much?"

that shenco roast thread was crazy too, but in a more positive way. I dunno what it was about it, maybe the fact that shenco is actually serious and doesn't come across like he has mental issues like some posters do, that made people actually join in on it.

5th Letter- What are some things you'd like to change about the IC?

DarthRozay- I'd like to see more activity in general. Not just new posters (especially ones that don't just spam their bullshit and actually have some kinda personality) but more activity in some of the subforums. tell me how the hell a monizzle thread on the latest tidal update or a bcotton thread telling us wayne put "birdman is a bitch" on his skateboard, gets more activity than the entire rnb & alternatives subforum? especially considering this is a hip-hop forum and just about every other genre of music has been worked into some form of hip-hop. you like g-funk? bet you'll like parliament/funkadelic. like tribe called quest? bet you'll find some kinda jazz music you like. so on and so on.

I'd love that subforum to turn into some bizarro version of the reason. people sharing their love/hate for certain artist, laughing at their losses, saluting them when they do something that someone respects (no bawse d. lox tho) having top 5's etc. etc. plus look at the zany characters that the reason attracts. can you imagine different musical versions of some of em? an elvis thread gets made and the resident elvis hater comes in posting half of the posts in the thread with shit like "fukk da racist cracKA PELVIS 4 steelin frm proud blk men like chuck berry rok n rowl is BLK MUSIK post tha cracka shit on ya own 4um!" or "beiber dies, I die!"

as shitty as other forums like lilwaynehq, KTT and e-coli are, they do seem to have it pretty good as far subforums for other kinds of music/artists. other than that I don't think there's a whole lot that I'd change, maybe some minor tweaks as far as formatting and layout of the forum. scroll down that main forum page and notice how it turns more into a graveyard the further you go down. just get rid of that shitty subforum thats inbetween the reason and rnb and only has 1 thread, where all the posts are either "I'm in" or spamming bullshit. just have an annoucement bulletin/thread at the top of the page for things like that when they're going on.

it could do with a whole restructure and new look honestly, but we all know the "upgrades" have never actually been upgrades, plus we lose posters every time the site is down for a while. on some real shit, the whole website could do with being redone. the main page looks like it was designed by someone who knew how to make a website on a TECHNICAL level, but was completely clueless on how to make it look appealing and have it be user friendly.

speaking of the main page, I gotta shoutout whoever mentioned in their interview the idea of having IC stuff featured/linked on the main page. dope idea. especially since there really isn't anything on the main site that screams "hey! click here if you wanna talk hip-hop!" just going by what people have said in the other interviews, a lot of us found the IC after getting bored with illseed or just perusing the site, bored. most people probably don't click the community tab cause they think its gonna be "come to this such soup kitchen and talk hip-hop with the homeless!" or some type of unicef shit where 10 cents a day can help feed a hungry supergangster or put shadyteam's child through school. aight that's my dissertation on IC updates lol in conclusion and all that shit

5th Letter- Who are your favorite and least favorite posters?

DarthRozay- my favorite poster is possibly the greatest poster on the IC, nah the internet. the GOAT. the Nas of the IC. Your favorite poster's favorite poster. the swedish gawd @supergangster, blckgod is a close 2nd, he's a legend in the making.

other funny cats like busta, stanford, the whole legion of trill, etc. etc.

cats that contribute to the forum like sion, stringer bell, kingbiz

shout out to genocidecutter too. took him a couple years but turned out to be a decent poster.

monizzle had a buzz when he started but now he's just gahbage. always talkin about tidal and wayne.

bcotton a funny dude!

Least favorite has to be idiots like gee, shadyteam, goldie, etc.

5th Letter- What's your beef with Goldie?

DarthRozay- That fuckboy is dissin lupe every chance he gets, but dickrides lil Wayne? Nah son fuck that. He ain't even funny like the big homie bcotton

5th Letter- Did you really say the N word on here?

DarthRozay- not to my memory. some posters act like I tried to convince the entire IC I was some big black dude, but there's actual posts in threads from 09-ish where I mention being white. People just expect anonymous people on the internet to be similar to them so when my pics got posted everyone was surprised.

5th Letter- Word association 2 words or less

5th Letter- Eminem

DarthRozay- Overrated

5th Letter- Goldie

DarthRozay- fuckboy dickrider

5th Letter- Drake

DarthRozay- degrassi 6god

5th Letter- Monizzle

DarthRozay- Didn't read

5th Letter- Any last words before we wrap up?

Darth Rozay- fuck goldie, he mad that Lupe has 2 classics and wayne has none. Fuck midgetfukr757 he a bitch

and shout out to the lil big homie @supergangster I swear if he don't win poster of the year then this shit is rigged

5th Letter- Where are you from?

DarthRozay- I'm a man of the world b. I've lived in the UK, the middle east, Kentucky when I was lil, and Michigan too. My mother's side of the fam is British so I was born there, but moved around a lot.

5th Letter- What was it like moving around so much?

DarthRozay- It has its positive and negatives imo. On one hand I've experienced a lot that some people won't experience half of in their entire lives. I consider myself pretty open minded, and don't see how others can hate people based on race, religion, sexuality, etc. and I think part of that comes from being around so much.

The negatives are obvious. I don't really have any "day one" friends that I can say I've known since I was 5 or 6. Changing schools and making new friends all the time probably contributed to me being shy and quiet when I was younger, plus I'm shit at keeping in touch with people lol

5th Letter- Besides moving a lot what was your early life like?

DarthRozay- it was pretty average I'd say. tried out a few sports, but I was never that athletic and had more interest in video games and shit lol. not a whole lot to talk about really

5th Letter- If you don't mind answering what do you do for a living?

DarthRozay- I run a government funded website that focuses on how mentally challenged posters interact with each other and discuss things like music, etc. we got folks like boeing757 who is obsessed with everything shady/aftermath/gunit. lmao in all seriousness I just work retail at a clothing store. nothing fancy but its pretty easy and enjoyable for the most part. then I'm headin back to school in the next few months to finish up my degree

5th Letter- How did you get into hip hop?

DarthRozay- damn man, that's takin it waaaaaay back like stevie wonder's hairline. I guess it started off with the era I grew up in. I'm not one of these old cats like 5 grand who can remember when and where he first heard hip hop. I was born in the early 90's so I've grown up in a time where hip-hop is accepted by the mainstream and used in all kinds of advertising and marketing shit. Not to mention all the other shit that was hip-hop influenced like the nu-metal sound that was around from 00 to 02-ish. so in one way it's always been a latent interest, especially in the early years.

but when it really caught my interest was when I was about 10 or 11 and moved to Michigan. I mostly just listened to the radio and it being late 03/early 04 I was hearing all these GRODT-era 50 cent singles, Black album-era Jay, College Dropout Ye, Chingy, Nelly, Murphy Lee, etc. from there it just grew. listened to a lot of ATL crunk music when it was popular in 06-ish. but always had a good mix of mainstream shit like Dem Franchize Boyz and Jermaine Dupri to early Lupe, Game after he left Aftermath/Gunit, WuTang Clan, Bone Thugs, etc.

5th Letter- Who are some of your favorite and least favorite rappers and why?

DarthRozay- lol man I swear my favorite rappers fall into 2 categories. the first is underrated and sometimes forgotten rappers. Guys like Saigon, Method Man, Redman, Pill. Can't think of a ton off the top. The second category are the popular mainstream guys who get a lotta hate. guys like drake, Kanye, Jay, Pac, Big, etc. why these cats? good music, that's it really. they got those emotional bangers, no shadyteam.

Least favorite tho? ehh that's hard man, I can't really think of any. either I'm too positive or just block out the ones I don't like. I will say tho, that the Game could be a helluva better rated rapper if he didn't 1. name drop constantly and 2. emulating other rappers. not my least favorite rapper tho

5th Letter- What are some of your favorite albums?

DarthRozay- I feel like a lot of my favorite albums are in similar veins to each other. ATCQ's Midnight Marauders and Low End Theory. Q-Tip's The Renaissance. Kanye's College Dropout, Late Registration and MBDTF. Saigon's Greatest Story Never Told. Meth's 4:21 The Day After. Lupe's Food n Liquor, The Cool, and Testuo & Youth. Not hip hop but love Frank Ocean's shit too. bumpin that new album right now

5th Letter- What are your thoughts on today's hip hop?

DarthRozay- man it's hard to say, shits always easier to look at in hindsight. I do think theres too many copycats out there, and I'm not just talkin about desiigner practically stealing future's identity on some parallel universe shit. too many rappers seeing someone blow up off a certain style or sound and then you get 10 other rappers jumpin on that style/sound and then there's another 10 rappers for each of those 10 and so on and so on until that style/sound is ran into the ground after a couple months or years. too many rappers aren't adding anything to the music, the art, the culture.

5th Letter- What do you think would be a solution?

DarthRozay- realistically, there isn't a solution unless you're able to control people. how do you tell these young kids to take the longer, harder way of trying to be an artist that could be more rewarding in the long run over the shorter and easier way of "copy what's hot"?

it's a cycle. cause then you get all the young rappers who wanna sound like, for examples sake, future. and then they go to the producers and say "nah I need shit that sounds like future's shit" and then you've got rappers AND producers just copying what's already is popular

5th Letter- How did you discover the IC?

DarthRozay- same shit, different interview. like damn near everyone else I started with just reading illseed's rumors then found the IC. on a related note, I wonder if part of the reason that the IC's new traffic has been so dead is because of how badly illseed fell off

5th Letter- You think Illseed is that important?

DarthRozay- nah he ain't shit and never been shit. the important part was having something out there in the ether of the internet that kept bringing people back to the main AHH website. news is great, but how many music or even just hip-hop/rnb "news" sites are there out on the internet? TONS. especially nowadays with twitter, vlogs, etc. and maybe that's why the rumors helped bring people to AHH and then eventually the IC, cause there wasn't twitter at that time and youtube was still pretty young and fresh in 06-07. there's a lot of different factors to why the IC died down imo, but like a stubborn fool it's still here.

Lmfao at that part . Shit had me rollin
