Hip-hop or R&B?
Hip-hop.
East Coast or West Coast?
West Coast.
Biggie or Tupac?
Tupac.
Beyonce or Rihanna?
Oh, good, that’s a tough one. I’m gonna give it to Queen B.
Macklemore or Eminem?
Eminem.
Cardi B or Nicki Minaj?
Ohhhh, that’s a very hard one. I’m just going to go based on right now, I have to go with Cardi. Here’s what I love about that: I hope that Cardi’s success just rapping will inspire Nicki to just put out a straight up rap album. I think that she’s, bar for bar, one of the best rappers and she spends so much time singing because that’s what sells. And that’s cool. I’m not trying to hate on that, but I love it when she just raps. So if maybe she feels her position is threatened enough, she will put out a rap album.
Alright, Jodeci or Boyz II Men?
Oh man, that’s good too. Boyz II Men.
Jay-Z or Kendrick?
Kendrick.
Since you said Kendrick, Good Kid M.A.A.D. City or Damn?
I’m gonna say Damn, even though I like Good Kid M.A.A.D. City. Good Kid M.A.A.D. City is more important to me, but it’s Damn if we’re going with the better album. He’s grown, he only gets better, he’s a better rapper, it’s a better album. But shit Good Kid M.A.A.D. City is important to me, I’ve probably listened to it more.
And of your own clipping. albums: Splendor & Misery or Midcity?
Oh, Splendor & Misery. You got to love your most recent stuff
Apple Music or Spotify?
I use Apple Music more.
Afropunk or Lollapalooza?
Afropunk! Afropunk is the craziest utopia… We played Afropunk a couple years ago and shit, being on stage at Afropunk is the best thing. It’s the middle of the day, and everyone is like the sexiest Black alien you’ve ever seen. It’s so fly, it’s like if a runway show was actually a dance party.
