Recently, I had the chance to sit down with "Da God 6EE"
The Hip-Hop artist who hails from the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York.
I only was able to manage a 10 minute interview(and snag a little snippet of the first video of "First 48")
SuckMyThought: Hey 6. I can Call you 6 right?
Da God 6EE: It's cool, Whats Up?
SMT: So I Just heard the "Story after the Story" and I know all the songs, all the lyrics; To me I sense a person who has gone through the struggle, who strives to succeed. Is that what you want your fans to see when the look at you as an artist?
6EE: It's not how I want me fans to look at me. I honestly don't do it for the fans approval. I'm NOT saying I don't appreciate my fans, because I do.
SMT: So, you just rap to rap?
6EE: C'mon if I rapped to rap...I mean you heard the content on the "Story Before the Story" thats me saying I'm not hear just to rap. I'm here to succeed. You didn't understand when I said "I don't do it for the fans" I'm like any other artist. My self-expression is through lyrics and a beat. If you give an artist a paint brush and leave him alone he's going to paint. You may not like it but he will, because it was for him to get. Same thing with me, if you give me a pen I'm going to write.
SMT: ok so you write according to what you feel?
6EE: I can't lie in my lyrics, cause I don't live a lie. If you every hear me talking about guns, I'm not shooting them, My content comes from experiences, things I've been through. If I don't know about it I don't talk about it.
SMT: So how much do you know about the struggle?
6EE: I live in Crown Heights, Uitca Ave. is right outside my door. My front door has been shot up.
My Mother has done the best she can to protect me for eighteen years. There are people I used to see everyday when I walked outside to going to Junior high and high school not make it in this hood.
SMT: So what can you say have been the best part of your musical career so far?
6EE: My first open-mic performance. There was a crowd of about thirty people who had absolutely no idea who I was. The only people there was my sis and cousin and only one of my close friends. I went on nervous, but I fed off the energy for those people and I did my thing. By the end I had thirty more fans. So I would have to say performing in the best part.
SMT: At what point did you feel that people really start accepting you as an artist?
6EE: Well there are two major points so far that I can say. When I did a show at Syracuse University, and when I released "First 48" my first single.
SMT: Which was better? Like I know there had to be one that stood out?
6EE: Well each were special for different reasons. I used to attend SU and then left for a whole year before I went back to perform. That whole tear U was gone I stayed out of contact with most of my friend. So to see the amount of support I received from them was real touching. After that like almost two or three months I released "First 48" and it took off virally from blogs to Facebook to and twitter.
Just to see the reciprocation.
*Due to Limited time this is all of the interview. Thats only If this interview was real. I'm just a supporter of INeverRapped2BeCool.
