THE DOSE: RHYMEFEST
“Rhymefest speaks about EL Che, Hip-Hop and upcoming
projects in an exclusive T.U.F interview.”

Since the release of his 2006 album Blue Collar, rap artist Rhymefest has come a long way and is back with the release of his “brand new” album “EL Che.” The Chi Town native earned himself the title as the Goodwill Hip-Hop Ambassador in 2006 when he met with David Cameron, The United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Leader of the Opposition to discuss the issue of violent lyrics in rap music. Rhymefest released the hit song “brand new” in 2006 which featured Kanye West and co wrote Kanye’s Grammy award winning song “Jesus Walks”. The Urban Feed recently caught up with Rhymefest to discuss his perspective on hip-hop, music and life. This is what he had to say:
TUF: Why should people go out and buy this album?
Rhymefest: Because it’s for people that have an independent mindset. Who cares what someone says about me.
TUF: Why do believe this album is important for the history of hip-hop?
Rhymefest: I don’t know that this album is important for the history of hip-hop. I think there is a difference between a dope album and a hot album. A dope album is forever and hot one cools off. My album is a dope album.
TUF: What buzz have you been getting off your mix-tape?
Rhymefest: I’ve been getting a lot of good feedback. I want some more criticism because criticism is a way to grow and get better.
TUF: Do you believe there is still a future for hip-hop?
Rhymefest: It depends on what you’re talking about. Hip-hop as I know it is dead. What I grew up listening to doesn’t exist anymore. Even if I sell 10,000 records that doesn’t matter. There was a day where public enemy sold 2 million records. That day is dead we need to focus on what’s born from it.
TUF: With that said what do you believe the biggest problem with hip-hop now of days is?
Rhymefest: The biggest problem with black music in general is the ignorance factor. Everyone wants to make songs based around alcohol, drugs or sex. You se that with songs like “Blame It On The Alcohol” or “Say Ahh.” Artists perceive that the only way they can be successful is to coon out. We have to think of things as black artist that other artist have to think about. We have to be conscious.
TUF: What separates Rhymefest from other artist?
Rhymefest: Fearlessness. I don’t care about repercussions or about what people think. I don’t care if people buy my albums. I’m going to say what I want to say because I want to say it.
TUF: Is there anything else that you want to say that you want the public to know?
Rhymefest: June 8th El Che is dropping. I encourage everyone who is independent minded to go out and buy the album.
