Breaking News: The Lost Interview: Never Heard-Before Rhymefest Podcast Recovered
(BlackPressMagazine.com) Grammy award winner Rhymefest, who co-wrote "Jesus Walks" with Kanye West granted BlackPodcasts.com and Black Press Magazine exclusive access to him for an unprecented 30 minute podcast interview. The podcast had been lost after cyber thieves hacked into the account and deleted the podcast but thanks to technology, it has been recovered.
Already MySpace.com and other sites are buzzing about the hot ne3w rapper's controversial statements in this no-holds barred interview. Declaring war on other rappers, during this podcast interview Rhymefest tells Black Press Magazine's DC Livers why America isn't ready for him and makes a shocking prediction:"Rappers are the new civil rights leaders." The lost interview with Rhymefest is sure to create a storm of Internet buzz.
In addition, the Chicago-born rap star, who just finished an amazing stint with the Tribe Called Quest Reunion tour, which he's on, has fans going crazy and wanting more.
During the podcast, Rhymefest dishes on the future of hip hop, dropped science on how women are treated in the Hip Hop game and gave tips to how he beat Emeniem during a freestyle battle at the Scribble Jam in Cincinnati. What's more, Rhymfest gives a behind-the-scenes look at his life since turning down a deal with Kanye to go on his own and his hot new CD, "Blue Collar."
"The battling thing is something I did to perfect my craft as a performer. If the mic goes out, what you gonna do? If there's a heckler in the crowd, what you gonna do? Battling has always been a way for urban youth to express ourselves without using guns by using our brains, by using our words and by using our skills," he said in a deep baratone voice.
