there is a resemblanceOriginally Posted by airmaxpenny1
Damn Allen, I didn't know you rapped?
On his car-to-car promo method of handing out CDs:
"I kind of do that regularly," Millyz said. "I do that if I'm in the mood. Like I get hyped some nights and I'll stop my car in the middle of traffic, I'll make everybody wait, whatever it is."
On the obstacles he's faced and how they influence his music:
"I think that's all part of the big story, everything I went through," he said. "Because now that I think back about it, when I was going through all that pain and suffering and the dumb stuff that was going on around me, I didn't know that was actually gonna contribute to the story I tell later on. I thought it just sucked that I was a little misfit bad kid, but then it actually, boom - blossomed to a story I could tell in my music that people could relate to from Harlem to Maine."
"And I'm glad it's like that instead of being like the rest of these rappers who get a deal and catch their first case and then they become problems to society," he said. "Like nah, I'm going the opposite way. I'm going from negative to positive for real."
On stepping up the business end of his game:
"I had to learn the business more," he said. "I learned the hard way that you can't just make a good song and think that's it. Songwriting and being talented is like 40 percent of the actual makeup of the industry. Because you see rappers who are horrible, but if their grind is good, they'll get farther than I will writing great songs."
On his mindstate and where he's at career-wise:
"Some days you feel like 'I'ma blow up tomorrow' and some days you feel like never," he said. "I've been feeling more like tomorrow recently, where I went through a period of like 'Yo, like this ain't real.' It's just been getting more real to me."
On being a white rapper and the title of his CD:
"I forget, and then I'm reminded, that's why I made a permanent reminder to myself by calling my CD '!+!$$%*@ Like Me,' you know," he said. "I just wanted to address that issue early."
"When I go certain places, they'll just be surprised to see my movement and how people support me or just surprised that there's a white rapper who does his thing like me," he said. "That sounds crazy, I don't want to sound like that. It's just not that big (of a deal). Like everybody out here knows, that's fine. It's just when I go out of state, people will be more surprised by it, I guess, more taken aback when I approach them with a CD, more like wondering 'Yo, what is this, what's this gonna be about?' Out here, they already know."
"Some people look at you funny, like you've got to kind of win them over and prove that you're nice I guess, but nowadays everybody has to do that because there are so many rappers," he said. "So it doesn't affect me as much as one would think, not in a negative way at least. I think it more surprises people to see how soulful my music is. I was either gonna call the CD '!+!$$%*@ Like Me' or 'Blue-Eyed Soul,' but 'Blue-Eyed Soul' sounded too much like my greatest r & b hits, so I stayed off that."
On why he chose music as his career path:
"I figured I don't have too many options," he said. "I'm a SPED kid. School didn't work out for me in the least bit. I barely graduated eighth grade, then I got kicked out of Cambridge Rindge and Latin halfway through my freshman year. I ended up going to a SPED school in Charlestown, with like 22 kids with issues, so school was never that promising for me and music just fit me, like that's what I wanted to do."
On the content of his music:
"I think the rappers that overglorify all the negativity have never been through the negative stuff to know that it's poison," he said. "My best friends are doing life. Like there's nothing nice about violence and all of that. It's for real. It's like a ripple effect, you know when you throw a big stone in the pond, that's what it is. Dude who got killed wasn't the only person who felt that. Like you ain't never been in that courtroom seeing the mother cry not having a son … It's not really cool to glorify it like that because it's a reality. In my raps you're gonna hear about drugs and guns and the streets and trouble, but you're gonna hear the reality of it too. You're gonna hear about the cause and effect. It's a little different. I get the chills when I'm writing a verse, like it's for real."
Millyz is definitly nice but keep it 100 his tape had a lot of trash on itOriginally Posted by Al3xis
