Uffie

I recently completed an interview with Uffie for Fake Magazine. Good news for you because it’s big, and I think you’ll love reading it. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until June to read the full interview when it’s printed in Fake.

The good news? Fake was kind enough to let me print a “teaser” question now on bigstereo.

The glock gets popped…

Q: There seems to be a lot of hate towards your music. People take issue with your style (or lack of style) of rapping. Do they just not get it?

/// Ah, I have been hoping someone would ask this. That’s exactly it. The people who hate what I do say it’s because I don’t respect the elements or I don’t rap well or blah blah blah. I believe my fans are the people who get what I do. When I make music, I don’t try to make rap or hip hop. I just listen to [rap and hip hop] so it does influence my style. I am not trying to concentrate on having a crazy flow or something like this because that’s not me… I admire people who do that, but it’s not what I want to do. People want to classify me as a rapper, but you can’t because it’s not me. I mix up everything and find my own style…

People can have issues with what I do, but they need to think of something new to say because I am not trying to be a rapper. I am just trying to say what I want in a style I want to… have fun and make fresh music.

Be sure to keep an eye out in June for Fake to read the rest.
