Hey, remember superstarcastic’s friend lexxcoop, the french rapper and master of western swing? Well, he’s still making music and hip-hopping it up on the other side of the ocean and is also our 5 question interview for the day. Check out his stuff at his myspace so you can feel all international and cosmopolitan and shit. Also, kindly remember that English is not Lexxcoop’s native language and get all grammar-snobby about this interview - I kept it exactly as he said it because it’s awesome…I even think I am starting to adore him a little.
1. when historians listen to your most recent CD 1000 years from now, what will they say?
This urbanosapiens tried to make digital music, I can’t understand their dialect!!!
2. if you could play a show with any band/musician living or dead, who would you pick and why?
I would “pick” big punisher and kool g rap because i felt first how they sounded before to understand the lyrics,I was amazed of the technic level of the rhyme!! and make a final combo w andre 3000″ old school style” and jimi hendrix because i always loved people who did their own stuff without gibin’ a f*ck of what ppl think ( It s not a comparaison, just a wish to be on stage with that 2 guys).
3. what is the strangest band-related dream you have had?
I dreamt once of being on stage and wanting to jump in the crowd and everybody pulls away, so my face on the ground ah ah
4. what do your fans look like?
Very eclectic but generally no family and few under 18. From pure hip hop heads to people who don’t necessarly listen rap but more electronic things, and also random people who could like or not our music when we perform in festivals.
5. what bullshit do you run into at most every show that makes you think “man, this bullshit again?”
When we don’t come with our engineer and even if you tell him to turn your mic up won’ t do sh*t. Or if you open a band , state that ur general master was wayy down compared to the main band , They’re afraid or whut ?? Bring your own engineer lol
bonus question: why won’t you forget to tip your bartender?
Because that way he wouldn’t forget sure to always have “double” jacks (if it’s a typcal expression i may not understood )

For some reason, Lexx’s band-related dream is to me the funniest one I’ve seen so far in this series. Maybe it’s because it’s the sort of thing I could see happening to me, asleep or not…
