interview de Frank V (Proper Dos)

[Thomas]

Voilà une "interview/chat" avec mister Frank V qui formait le groupe Proper Dos avec Ernie G. J'ai tanté au mieux de parler de choses différentes mais j'ai posé les questions comme elles me sont venues vu que j'avais rien preparé. J'ai perdu la première partie de l'interview où je lui demande pourquoi il a quitté Southland records et low profile records.
Il m'a répondu à ces deux questions, que pour southland c'était seulement des featurings et que aucun contract n'a été signé, et pour low pro tout simplement que leurs chemins se sont séparés.
Cependant, j'ai eu l'info que Frank v prpépre de nouveau un album avec low profile.

thomas matho: so
thomas matho: the big question
thomas matho: when you come to paris to make a show ??

Après on a fini l'interview au phone, il m'a parlé plus clairement que chaque rapper chicano tanter de devenir mainstream, que ernie g ne pensait pas a evoluer dans sa façon de produire, il resté trop à l'ancienne.

En espèrant que ça vous plaira, et sachant que y aura d'autres trucs a venir bientot je l'espere.

[OGM]

ahhh!bien vu cuz'!

je savais pas que tu donnais dans l'interview!
en tout cas,bon choix que ce OG sureno,qui a fait des bètes de son...

j'aurais bien kiffé en savoir plus sur le lp a venir,en tout cas ca fait bien plaiz',j'espère qu'il va poser sur du bon VMF,et que Low Pro ne vont pas lui imposer des beats pourris "tendance",comme sur leurs dernieres sorties...

en plus,il fait donc ses trucs au feeling,quand il kiffe un beat,ou...quand il a vraiment besoin d'oseille!

hate de voir la suite,avec d'autres pointures!

[Perico]

je te l'ai déjà dis mais beau boulot garçon! (malgré ton anglais phénoménal )
ça fait plaisir les artistes aussi disponibles, et qui restent en phase par rapport à l'évolution du rap game.

Maintenant je veux l'enregistrement du freestyle au téléphone
