Real Rad Magazine : Summer Quarterly 2015

I was like you- semi conscious
about meat and what kind of
meat I was consuming when I
was…then I was eating a lot of
fast food. So I’m trying to do
vegetarianism now to kind of
balance that out a little bit.
What’s your favorite healthy
dish?
I love Indian food for some
strange reason. I just love it.
Japanese food, you can’t go
wrong with that. French food
is got damn ridiculous. I love
Jamaican food, that food is da
bomb. I don’t stick with one food,
I got to mix it up. The balance
thing comes into play, I don’t want
to eat just one thing and I mix
it up. Variety is the spice of life.
Everything... maybe Chinese food
is too greasy for me cause they
use to much Canola oil, that’s too
much, you may as well eat plastic..
That’s population control too. I
mostly like things with Himalayan
sea salt, I can’t eat processed salt.
That’s just another chemical thing.
So many weird things, Virgin olive
oil it’s not good to cook with it- it’s
better to use it raw. I can go on
for days with this stuff, you get the
point.
You’re definitely about health
and what goes in your body.
Definitely energy.
I just learned that if you eat these
apricot kernels, it’s like a secret
cure for cancer but you can’t eat
them raw, at the whole foods store
they’re selling for so much money
because people are starting to
discover that’s the secret cure for
cancer- these apricot kernels.
Nice, it’s always good to keep
learning. So the state of the
DJ culture right now, especially
with all these controllers coming
out and sometimes people
mistake being a DJ with being a
producer. They go up on stage
and press a button and it is
what it is. Do you consider the
state of the DJ culture to be
dying or do you think a revival
is emerging, especially with the
turntables.
Well, it really depends, there are
those guys that suck and there
are those that are really amazing
and there are guys that push
buttons. There’s Jimi Hendrix-es
on the turn tables or a jazz person.
You can’t categorize one thing
as being one thing, who are you
talking about? You just have a
wide range of people that suck
and people that are amazing from
everything in between to the
extremes. I don’t even know how
to answer that question, you get
what I’m saying?
What do you think of theDub
Step and Trap culture that has
come about?
It’s cool, there’s good stuff in
there too. It’s the same answer
that I would give. There’s stuff
that sucks and there’s stuff that’s
amazing. I tend to think there’s
less amazing stuff within every
genre, it’s normally like that.
There’s a pinnacle of leaders and
there’s a whole bottom end of
those that follow what the leaders
are doing. I would have to say that
in everything; roughly about 10
percent of any genre is really good
to listen to.
What did you think of the Kool
Keith and Qbert Show that
happened at Trees a while back?
I think Kool Keith is hilarious and
amazing. I listen back to his stuff
after the show and listen to some
old stuff that he’s done and he
cracks me up every time. I think
he’s one of those top ones that
will make you trip out. I listen to
a lot of rap and 95 percent of it
