I decided that you all here might be too shy to ask me anything for fear that I would ignore your questions, so I decided to come up with some questions that I thought you all were dying to ask me but hadn't gotten the nerve to. Or it could be that I am extremely fucking bored while waiting for someone to get home so that we can continue our quest to rid america of zombies...
So which Roy De La Cruz are you? When I google your name to read up on your awesome life I get multiple hits including another roy de la cruz that blogs...
You can't really google me, so I'm assuming you're talking about the Filipino Roy De La Cruz who is actually a serious blogger and has multiple blogs going on at once. I dont take it that seriously. Coincidentally enough, he also pens lyrics from time to time though. Sadly though I also am not the Roy De La Cruz who was a college point guard. I have however in the past lied to ladies at bars and when they didnt believe me I have just told them to google it. he is 6'1" and my height is close enough...
Speaking of basketball, why do you bore us with your stat lines of your league games?
I'm really just trying to coax you into you thinking you're better than me and then challenging me to a game. Its a hustler like move so that when you do, I'll take your money and your pride.
Why is your room a mess?
Its not that its a mess- I just don't bother making my bed unless people are coming over-really its a waste of time i mean its just gonna get unmade the next night anyways... Other than that its really just the laundry I have done that I never get around to putting away. Dont get me wrong I love doing me some laundry- folding it even. But putting away the shit sucks. Same deal with washing dishes. I don't mind doing them but putting them away- I refuse. If you're ever at Wes' and notice the high rise of dishes in the dish rack, that was my precise placing of the dishes so that I don't have to put them away in the cupboards.
Did you know you're wearing two different color socks?
I'll be damned. Both look black to me.
Do you own any tee shirt that isnt a hip hop group?
Of course! my Vlade Divac shirt to name one.
Speaking of Hip Hop why do you write lyrics?
because every rap fan is a wanna be rapper.
Some of your lines are alright even down right legendary- but why the fuck are they off beat/ non metered?
In my head they are on beat because I know what song I'm writing them to, from Suicide Doors by Sean Price, to DJ Premier, to 9th wonder beats. But really as long as you get the point from the lines, I don't care that they arent, its just that I havent read the book how to rap yet and dont really plan on making a career switch at this point in my life so...
Why are some so medicore?
because I dont sit here and write, re write, and continue to rewrite them. they are one and done from my head to the pen and thats it. The world wouldnt be able to handle it if I actually was motivated enough to finish something (see, putting away laundry, dishes...)
Who do you blatantly rip off for your concepts to those lyrics?
I take it you're not a golfer. Pretty much the groups I listen to, if you havent bothered listening to the songs I post up here, then you obviously wouldnt know. Like for instance, the whole series of the landlord and tenets was really taken from Brother Ali's Shadows of the Sun song. Read the lyrics and you'll see I borrowed a couple of lines, but other than that the rest I try to be as original with them as I can. One day I'll post a listing of what song inspired/was plagiarized to come up with the lyrics that have been posted on here- every one. I promise, but Wes just came in and its time to save america. so I'll do that another time
That landlord v tenets, were they written about specific people?
Only one- Apartment C- and no it wasnt about me. I have a friend I have known since 5th grade who is going through a rough time. The rest may have been inspired from events during the time I wrote them, but they werent specific to people and some have obvious tones of my life but dont necessarily reflect it completely. fine fine I'll jot down a list of whoever inspired each song later but don't feel like doing it now.Obviously the one about the dog is about Kobe.
How is this interview going?
honestly I was gonna ask myself harder questions but forgot what they were cuz I am hungry.
you know people will think you are either crazy or full of yourself for having interviewed yourself, right?
yeah I'm a nerd, freak, schizophrenic like that. but thats why the 20 people that read this in the usa read this. I can only guess the people from europe and asia read this to practice their english...
I weep for the ones that are learning English from your blog. ;)
