In-Depth interview #1
1) What is your favourite music genre and why?
I don’t really have a favourite music genre but if I had to pick one, I’ll pick a dubstep, especial remixes of already good songs. I enjoy the adrenaline it gives from listening to that specific genre. The heavy bass line and the drums give it a feel that no other music genre has.
2) What is your favourite music video and why?
My favourite music video is by Chase & Status called, Let You Go which features Mali. The main concept of the video is about a guy in disguise. He’s a talk show presenter interviewing the people who want to talk about family, relationship problems etc, a bit like Jerry or Maury. The video includes sex, drugs, but it also has a story behind it that shows reality.
It’s a story that is clever and sends a strong message of ‘Looks can be deceiving’. It shows even though he’s giving advice on peoples lives or making them better people. When away from all the ‘perfect’ showbiz reality, he’s just as bad as anyone else by taking drugs such as cocaine and sleeping with prostitutes.
That is the main reason why it’s my favourite music video at the moment. It contains entertainment, reality, and the track itself is fast paced which is associated with clubs and that makes it a plus in my eyes haha.
3) Are you familiar with Dubstep music? Iif so, what ideas come into your mind?
Yes I’m very familiar with dubstep, it’s my favourite genre. The first thing that comes into my mind when listening to dubstep is mood. With each track, it always creates a mood for a certain track, for example screams version of la roux in for the kill is calm feel but the drop still makes it adrenaline pumping. But there’s another one like Taio Cruz’s cookie monster remix of dirty picture just make you want to party and have a good time, thats the vibe I get from that track. But some people can go over the top, for example like this Dubstep Artist call Borgore. To me, he’s ruining dubstep, the waves are unnesesary and in most of his tracks, you feel there is to much going on. But hey, thats my view, it still doesn’t stop him from being popular with the fans.
In-Depth interview #2
1) What is your favourite music genre and why?
My favourite genre is Hip Hop & Rap because the of artists such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem and J. Cole to name a few. They all except Jay Z from that list compose their own intrumentals whether its from scratch or taking smaples from other instrumentals. Melodies from that genre are catchy, slow, or bass bumping music that you play in your car. As well as composing, artists such as Kanye West, Eminem write their own lyrics and that in my view just showcases their eceptional talent. Some artists such as Eminem had nothing to begin with and have gone far with their raw talent, which makes it inspiring to youngsters acrross the world. However you don’t need to come from nothing to be someone, J Cole for example studied, got a degree, but it wasn’t all plain sailing from there. He was rejected as an artist, till he met Jay Z and gave him his mixtape to hear on his own time, and from their hes seen as one of the best new talents in the Rap industry.
2) What is your favourite music video and why?
My favourite music video is 99 problems by Jay-Z because in this music video he explains that there is more problems to life than women. The introduction to the start of the verse just sets us to what is a fantastic song and video in my opinion. ‘If you have a girl problem I feel bad for you son/ I got 99 problems but the bitch aint one’ straight after that famous line, we hear the drums and that heavy electric guitar. Though it sounds rock inspired, it makes it into the Rap genre because of the way the verses are being spoken. He also talks about corruption in the law system which when heard is the funniest and cleverest part of the song. I like the effect of the grey scale videos because it seems different and the camera work done to include shots of New York City and people involved in the video.
3) Are you familiar with Dubstep music, if so, what ideas come into your mind?
Yes I know a lot about dubstep. Few things that come into my mind when hearing dubstep is the randomness of the track changing, like for example. The anticipation of the drop. Some dubstep tracks involve a vast array of sound from high pitch to low pitch; they also have different types of instruments involved from drums, guitar, to tambourines and high bass. Also there’s different types of dubstep, jazz, rock, pop, but the eventual drop makes it that specific genre as you wouldn’t find it in rap or hip hop. All in all it sounds like an experiment with many instruments and sounds that in the end work out to be something unique and very good.
