Quote from: From Dre-Day to Helter Skelter on February 17, 2011, 01:04:31 AMthanks for the interview, nice series QuoteHow to Rap: Have you picked up any tips from anyone else?Bishop Lamont: Definitely Busta Rhymes, Dre always got some magic for you, not really outside of them… Elzhi, T3, Black Milk, Kardinal Offical, it’s always some kinda flavors from architects, some dope architects like that, Stat Quo. There’s a few that’s on the same page with understanding rapping in key. Because cats be sounding so garbage over their beats because they don’t realize keys, they don’t understand tones, you have to approach it the same way you approach an R&B record, that’s why motherfuckers be shouting over records that they shouldn’t be shouting over, they be sounding all raspy over shit they shouldn’t sound raspy over. They have no understanding of keys and tones and adjusting to compliment the beat. So I think collectively they’ve all shown me different aspects of that.How to Rap: So you try to match the pitch of the music with your voice?Bishop Lamont: Any smart motherfucker should!QuoteHow to Rap: What’s more important to you, the subject matter or the flow you’re using?Bishop Lamont: Subject matter is always… but it’s a marriage, it’s a two-way street, so both have to be above and beyond, it has to be perfect.with comments like these, i wonder why his flow often sounds lazyAll I can think is their one takes or he doesn't give a fuck because a large percentage of his content is about hip-hop and how he thinks it sucks so he adopts this "lazy, I'm fucking better than y'all" flow. He can spit with passion and a fierceness when he chooses to.

Not at all...but you may have lost the ability to read the concept of this series...and what we are uncovering for you here...!no, not realy - unless this interview is 12 months old, your question was flawed. Perhaps "now that youve had experience working with Dre and everything?" would be more fitting. Otherwise, good interview!Ok....Once again, you havent read the concept of this "interview series" - take a moment to read the update in its entitety and then the date the interview took place...well slap me with a sausage,... i withdraw my criticism
