Eminem vs. Yelawolf Twitter Q&A
Eminem recently did a live-via-Twitter interview w/ Yelawolf to help promote Radioactive, which is looking to open on Billboard with between 40-60,000 copies sold first week.
Eminem: Where you at celebrating the release of #radioactive? U are a true fan. How’s it feel to finally have #radioactive out there?
Yelawolf: Sup cracker dick?… I’m in a JackDaniels bottle homie… Watchin 8mile again… shits crazy… it really happened.
Eminem: ok white dawg. So when did you start recording #Radioactive?
Yelawolf: In Vegas about 10 months ago, in January. Then I played it for you later that month. We had about 12 keepers.
Eminem: Sure did. What song from #Radioactive is your favorite?
Yelawolf: Today, its “hardest love song”. I played it live with a band rehearsing for the Jimmy Kimmel show… sounded saucy.
Eminem: Really? Why is that your favorite?
Yelawolf: Well it varies from day to day, yesterday I was on “Gutter” all day… It was raining and I was on some dark shit.
Eminem: Who or what inspired you the most while recording #Radioactive?
Yelawolf: Man… I just used the people around me… every one who was involved… and of course life experience.
Eminem: Why did you call it #radioactive?
Yelawolf: Its the fall out to my journey so far. The #Radioactive material that came after the war. The uphill battle to get here…… My science experiment gone right.
Eminem: Now they said to ask some stupid ones. Batman or Superman?
Yelawolf: If I had to pick, Batman. But my uncle Critter could kick both their ass in a single bound & shot gun a beer at the speed of light. BAMA!
Eminem: R u going to the mall later?
Yelawolf: Why?… You need some new air max ? hahahaa Honky Kong !!
Eminem: If u could play #radioactive for any person in the world, who would it be?
Yelawolf: That bitch ass motherfucker who threw my demo at my feet from his car window in 05… I was holding my 1 year old son…… now my son is 7 and he’s got anything he wants. Thank you Marshall.
Eminem: Ok Yelawolf I’m out! #radioactive
Interviews
Stereogrid Interview w/ DJ Pizzo
Interview yours truly just did with Stereogrid, about HipHopSite.Com.
For this week’s Blogger Q+A we talk to DJ Pizzo of HipHopSite. We discuss the history of HipHopSite, what catches his ear as a blogger/DJ & the advantages of being a genre specific blog.
Stereogrid: Where, How & Why did you start HipHopSite?
DJ Pizzo: I started HipHopSite.Com in 1997 – it was one of the first, pioneering rap websites to deliver up-to-date news, reviews, and new music on a regular basis.
Stereogrid: What do you think uniquely defines HipHopSite?
DJ Pizzo: Pretty much our long history, as a site that had helped jumpstart the indie hip-hop movement of the late 90′s and early 00′s. We’ve been responsible for introducing countless artists to the internet audience, long before they we’re popular, such as Eminem, RJD2, Little Brother, DJ Danger Mouse, and tons more. We also still write album reviews regularly, and have an archive of about 3000 full-length reviews written over the last 15 years. [cont.]

DJ Pizzo Interview w/ The Andy Derer Show
Yours truly speaks with The Andy Derer Show about the creation of HipHopSite.Com and the indie hip-hop movement of the late 90′s and early 2000′s.
“The Independent hip-hop story of the late 90s was completely intense and brought from it many changes and trends that are still viable in hiphop music today. Hiphopsite.com was one of the leading sellers of independent hiphop music and found it’s way early in 1996. DJ Mike Pizzo created a site that would not only be the place to be to order hiphop vinyl and cd’s, but it would become a tastemaker as far as best new artists in independent hiphop would go. Very interesting interview. Thank you as always for listening to The Andy Derer Show!”
