illestlyrics.com: -interview started-
illestlyrics.com: Thanks for doing this interview guy.
rhino: no problem
illestlyrics.com: Lets first touch on the tag team tourney, were you shocked to win?
rhino: haha umm wouldnt say shocked but it was definitely a great victory for me much respect ta ekoms in that nailbiter
illestlyrics.com: Well, lets say a lot of people were shocked. What was your mind state going into that battle?
rhino: well i actually was just trying some new things like workin on punches, multies, etc. but idk i usually just perform a little better under pressure haha n tourneys
illestlyrics.com: Yah. A lot of people brought up your elevation in them tourney battles. How are you going to use this momentum from this win?
rhino: i think its a good experience as far as learning what it takes to win and i want to take the knowledge from this battle and apply it to th next and the next stay movin up that hill
illestlyrics.com: Word that brings us back around to the beginning. When you first came to Illest, you were basically considered a joke. How did you change that perspective?
rhino: hahah great question I dont know honestly you know how it is when someone new comes in its like a fraternity you just gotta hang in there though and earn everything that you get and I just think Its because I stuck around and didnt let it get ta me
illestlyrics.com: Word. The caps in the sentences didn’t help much (lol). What was up with that?
rhino: lmfao nice
rhino: umm i was lazy?
rhino: Honestly the caps lock thing really was cuz i was lazy first time i was on here just happened ta be caps then i realized it pissed everyone off lol so i kept it for a while
illestlyrics.com: Alright (haha). Your record is starting to balance out on the positive side (16-15), are you looking to get more victories against the heavyweights like ekoms.
rhino: umm yeah im down to battle anyone and even if i dont beat a heavyweight i still take something with me from a battle like that but learning from your wins and losses is a big part of elevating i think
illestlyrics.com: Great point. Battling isn’t all you do. You have dropped a lot of scriptures in the past. Lately, I’ve noticed you haven’t dropped many, any reason?
rhino: nah not really kinda just been spreadin em out now i was droppin too many at a time before. but that was for me more than anything like practice ya know sometimes i just sit here and go nuts with drops its a big help also
illestlyrics.com: Absolutely. Anyone you want to collab with in scriptures?
rhino: anybody and everybody just did one with big p so you know im down for whatever lol
illestlyrics.com: Nice. Right now you’re in the tag team tourney. Are you satisfied with your drop?
rhino: yeah im happy with it dropped a little early because i thought i was late but overall i think its a good drop try to be confident with all my drops n think positive = karma
illestlyrics.com: Good point. What do you think is your strongest aspect as an emcee?
rhino: i think my strongest point is my weak points lol meaning most of the time no one knows what to expect from me so i kinda have the element of surprise, hell i surprise myself sometimes honestly lmao
