Interview With Symbolikull

Post by complexity »

metaphoric flow: We're here with Illest Lyrics "legend" Symbolikull, better known as Ghost, who has recently been on a slight hiatus on Illest. What have you been up to man?

Hypnitizinminds: shit... i took myself off salary at work, cut my hours down by 10 and jus started livin my life again. plus i jus gotta whip and my L's (license) back, so you know...

metaphoric flow: Alright man. You were recently awarded Illest' greatest achievement, The Illest Lifetime Achievement Award. What was your initial reaction?

Hypnitizinminds: shocked kinda.... i mean jus cuz i was steppin away for awhile and leavin the scene.... but it was a nice gesture and i thank you and all who commented on the subject. its been a good almost 2 yrs here at illest

metaphoric flow: You have dedicated a lot of time to Illest Lyrics. What can you take away from the experience that has greater value in life?

Hypnitizinminds: ive evolved a pretty good presence of friendship witta few off the site (8th, kurse abd ame, fellow michiganander wildbill) but other than that the site has a very great way of elevatin ones self, you know... i know my vocab and skills are at a much higher level than when i came here

metaphoric flow: Good answer. I also think it's really a large collaboration. Taking a lot of different people with multi-cultured backgrounds, diversity, skill levels and working together for one goal, which happens to be developing as an artist. Giving you the opportunity to flex your creative ability. Of course, it also has the entertainment value. What's the funnest thing you have done on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: honestly fuckin wit yalls shit... the power trip was nice hahahaha ... other than that prolly all the shittin on tk6 aka dead silence and bigp...lol no offence or always fuckin wit freeflo

metaphoric flow: Haha. I'd think the collaborations rank up there as well. Who is your favorite person to collab with?

Hypnitizinminds: if were talkin msn mess.. it would be my home boy mac... but weve had a huge collabo, me and dj had one, ive done a pretty good one wit 8th, the domination track wit lawgix... its hard to chose which one, especially not knowin future collabs

metaphoric flow: You are also not mentioning "The Unkrowned Kings". That's a combination of you and ekoms. What makes them collabs special? I also heard there will be a part three to the series of drops by you guys?

Hypnitizinminds: yeah i almost forgot, yeah thats gotta be prolly the biggest set of collabs ive ever done.. two multi based writers combinin in styles... that was great.. no topic other than multi domination. as far as writing another one, if i ever get the urge to write a verse again yall will see it..

metaphoric flow: You don't come off as the most arrogant emcee on Illest, but I'm going to put you on the spot. Where do you think that you excel compared to other writers the most?

Hypnitizinminds: my rhymes - the amount of at a pretty high quality very consistantly... but theres always somethin to learn thru a verse whether your own or someone elses

Hypnitizinminds: i think i lack in topicals if anything... like how i tell stories and all

metaphoric flow: You recently wrote "The End Of A Legacy", which is now officially an Old School Classic. What makes a good written a great one?

Hypnitizinminds: its based upon the same system of a battle.. if you can construct all the aspects of writin a great verse together. its gotta have a storyline/plot, descriptive words that can paint pictures, be sure the structure is pretty solid, dont use a lotta big words but leave out no detail, and mix up your rhyme skill as your droppin metas/similies, punches and wordplay....and multies never hurt either

metaphoric flow: Interesting. Do you go into writing something and say, I'm going to write a classic or does it develop into that?

Hypnitizinminds: the last one came over like 5 days, i would write 3 bars and stop and go do somethin and so on... nah honestly though i jus go to write somethin and if it works i continue to write and whatever developes is what i would drop. but yeah the supreme supremacy one was meant to be great we spoke upon that already thogh

metaphoric flow: Alright. You have been criticized for your battle style. In contradiction, it's got you a very impressive record. What gives you the edge when you don't have the most dignified battling style?

Hypnitizinminds: i jus try to bring the personals in, i think all in all a personaless punch is un useless and doesnt do much damage...

metaphoric flow: Ok. Audio tell me about it. The process, challenges, or anything.

Hypnitizinminds: audio, lets see i know nothin about it... hahaha on the mixin end. i turn my piece of shit mic on hit record on cool edit and do my thing.... i think my flow is alright but i need more presence thru mu delivery

metaphoric flow: Lets discuss the 11 minute freestyle. It's controversial, it's praised, and obviously everybody has something to say about it. Personally, I believe a good portion of it was written. Can you change my opinion and do you think your audio is overlooked because you're known primarily as a writer?

Hypnitizinminds: the amounts of freestyles ive done it should show... but i legitly say that all my freestyles are freestyle anybody who dont believe can hit me up on skype and i can prove it... i can easily hit 5 to 10 mins easily

metaphoric flow: Do you think your audio is overlooked because you're known as a primarily as a writer?

Hypnitizinminds: i think so in a way, that and i know that theyre not the best

metaphoric flow: Before we get into the name game. A lot of people make jokes about you inviting Kurse to live with you. It's like a legend on Illest now. Would you seriously take in somebody from the Internet, if you felt they were in a bad situation?

Hypnitizinminds: kurse yeah, or any of the ppl that i have had multiple real conversation wit over the 2yrs here on illest... i like kurse hes always ona real tip, so yeah i would take him in if he needed to getta way... plus ive been in situations that of the same so i know how it is

metaphoric flow: See, I'd invite Kurse to live with me, but I like having food in my refrigerator. Call me a scum bag. Lets play "Illest Name Game" with a new stipulation. I want you to tell me, if you'd let them live with you while we're on that theme. Tell me why or why not.

metaphoric flow: Of course, this is all in jest and symbolikull does not have to take in any of you.

metaphoric flow: Ready?

Hypnitizinminds: hit it

metaphoric flow: Hazard

Hypnitizinminds: no

Hypnitizinminds: i dont know him outta the arrogant and wild mouth on the site

metaphoric flow: 8th

Hypnitizinminds: fa sho, hes the first person i started chattin wit on illest

metaphoric flow: Domino

Hypnitizinminds: nah, his drug use habits and vanarial diseases would effect my health

Hypnitizinminds: dont forget he is foreign

metaphoric flow: Plus he might bring in fleas with all his hair. How about 16 micz?

Hypnitizinminds: hahaha i think i would mash on em with in 24hrs.. plus his ashyness would leave dandriff all over my furniture lmao plus i dont like steve urkel look alikes

metaphoric flow: I heard his parents kicked him out for the same reasons. How about Wildbill?

Hypnitizinminds: i may let him crash for a night or two... but like you said i like food in my house plus his roid rage would get him killed quicker than eddie guerero

metaphoric flow: Yah. Rumor has it that his picture is airbrushed anyway. I don't think, he could take a cold pill without flipping out. How about Harle?

Hypnitizinminds: shes cute... as long as she cooked and cleaned

Hypnitizinminds: hahaha no i prolly wouldnt

metaphoric flow: Rell Fiasco

Hypnitizinminds: no his shoe collection would get in the way, take up too much space

metaphoric flow: High Heels come in small boxes man. How about complexity?

Hypnitizinminds: no, we would clash harder than sequence and a multi

metaphoric flow: Plus, he'd never let you get on the computer. And bookmark all kinds of gay porn. Fuck that faggot anyway. How about freeflo?

Hypnitizinminds: no.. nuff said

metaphoric flow: Ekoms

Hypnitizinminds: yeah most likely, as long as he didnt bring blitz wit em, OOOOOOOOOOOOO jus kiddin lol

metaphoric flow: Nah, you wouldn't see her, she would be in his pants. How about Viral?

Hypnitizinminds: yeah, i would make him teach me everything he new about mixin and shit then kill em and run off wit his girl ( hahahaha you know im playin wit you homiE)

Hypnitizinminds: not

metaphoric flow: Honestly, I couldn't stand seeing that stupid looking goatee all the time. Drunken Jesus?

Hypnitizinminds: yeah, he could keep me lever headed and teach me how to fight in like 5 diff styles

metaphoric flow: Yah, he is known to teach an old dog some new tricks and last but not least "Lady Sam".

Hypnitizinminds: id feel like r. kelly ina diff life... cuz "im feelin on those bo-o-bies, bo-o-o-o-bies!"

Hypnitizinminds: but no i wouldnt

metaphoric flow: I heard, she can't keep her mouth closed either. Always got her lips moving. Take that as you will. I want to ask a few more questions and that's about it.

Hypnitizinminds: aight might i wanna keep answerin questions anyway

metaphoric flow: Who do you see in all of the site that most reminds you of yourself while you were attempting to elevate and impress. Obviously, as you have got better, that's not as important. When you were more hungry to make a mark on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: in attempin to do so, prolly haz but skill level arvincible when hes active or even wildbill

metaphoric flow: Who was your toughest opponent to battle?

Hypnitizinminds: shit... hard question wit 41 battles, i cant even fathom the thought of choosin one

metaphoric flow: How about your favorite battles?

Hypnitizinminds: the tags wit dj, the battles wit cee4, the tournies and all the battles with rh1no who seems to have disappeared

metaphoric flow: When you go into a tournament, which you have won a quite a few. What's the number one thing you remind yourself?

Hypnitizinminds: stay focused on the task at hand

Hypnitizinminds: i dont do anything else why im in a tourny

metaphoric flow: When you don't have any preparation in reality. You only can rely on pure skill. I think, tourneys are some of the best judge of skill. So, you have that in mind. How do you stop someone who has tons of momentum. They have won a bunch of battles in a row for instance.

Hypnitizinminds: use it against them... jus like tusslin/wrestlin wit someone... use their strengths against them instead of their weaknesses

metaphoric flow: In general, do you think you are underrated as a top emcee on Illest? A lot times you hear names like complexity, jesus, domino, ekoms and Rell. It's not always Symbolikull. Though in the last couple months that has changed a bit. Why don't you think, you have always been considered as a top emcee.

Hypnitizinminds: everybody has their opinions and i respect that... theres alot of great talent of this site and just bein mentioned as a top emcee of being known as the king of the writtens is good enuff for me man

metaphoric flow: Respect has never been a factor. You have any Illest regrets? Anything up to this point you would have liked to have accomplished or done?

Hypnitizinminds: did more audios, maybe collabed wit ame or something... maybe "kept my admin powers" hahahaha losin to blitz sucked lmao

metaphoric flow: The biggest misconception about you?

Hypnitizinminds: i really dont have a big ego, im actually pretty chill when you get to know me personally

metaphoric flow: Alright. Before we go, I want to bring back the "hot seat game". I'm going to ask you numerous questions and you answer them quickly.

metaphoric flow: Ready?

Hypnitizinminds: yezzur

metaphoric flow: Are you really moving to Miami?

Hypnitizinminds: miami area yes

metaphoric flow: Are you one of the top five emcees on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: yezzur

metaphoric flow: Is there anybody you can't beat in a battle on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: yes

metaphoric flow: Is Kurse the best audio emcee on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: yes and no, i think some of ppl/members of ame outshine him but thats a blessing for him

metaphoric flow: Who would you vote for in 08 and are you actually going to vote?

Hypnitizinminds: john mccane and no

metaphoric flow: Your favorite writer on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: excludin myself, you

metaphoric flow: Your favorite artist in hip hop?

Hypnitizinminds: underground or mainstream or both....?

metaphoric flow: Either

Hypnitizinminds: hmmm...

Hypnitizinminds: mainstream - ill jus say eminem (fuck what yall think)
underground - immortal tech (again fuck what yall think)

metaphoric flow: Who is the most funny on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: kurse ( for that dunkin donouts - skit ) yall forgot about that huh, but dj's pretty witty himself

metaphoric flow: Best looking girl on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: thats easy

Hypnitizinminds: Harle, the best one outta the sams

metaphoric flow: Favorite drop you ever wrote?

Hypnitizinminds: hmmm.. give me a second

Hypnitizinminds: tell the truth 1 and 2 were great very informational about the truth of reality, theories of destructions were nice, many other miscellaneous writtens, but its either between circular system or supreme supremacy

metaphoric flow: Most underrated emcee on Illest?

Hypnitizinminds: written or audio

metaphoric flow: Either

Hypnitizinminds: both?

Hypnitizinminds: written - rh1no he still counts, or rell
audio - haz

metaphoric flow: Great interview man.

metaphoric flow: We hope you the best in all your future endeavours and can't wait until you're active on Illest again.

Hypnitizinminds: thanx man i appreciate all the support the site has givin me and yes i promise soon yall will hear of/from me in the future... only time will tell

metaphoric flow: Time does tell it all. Sometimes it's great to look back on that time and that's what we have done in this interview. Thanks

Hypnitizinminds: no thank you plex and thank you illest and in all your welcome
