Me:
Faaaammmooouuusss [your voice] Thanx for takin the time out to interview with me! How are you?
Famous:
well im 6ft brown skin and sexy but most of all i am blessed and highly favored
Me:
Hahaha effin famous! You crazy. How’s things in radio?
Famous:
radio is always good. its like school mostly for me because i teach and i get taught…and we even get recess
Me:
What’s recess like? I kno you is funny as hell…
Famous:
well thats a good question…we play, have off campus lunch, brain storm on how to take over the world one ear at a time
Me:
Well you are In the right profession to to so. Who’s your fav artists right now? Locally and mainstream?
Famous:
i dont have a favorite but within mainstream music i tend to listen to Jay-Z, 50 cent, E-40, Kanye, Jeezy, Drake, Eminem and Luda as for locally i am a fan of everyone who has made it on to 80 West Radio hahaha umm but Andy Allo, Jessica Jolia, Jimmy Reign, J.Gib, Simps da fo fif, Bueno, Netta Brielle woooo i could go on lol but i’ll stop right there (done)
Me:
Lol yeah those are some great people you mentioned. Do you have a favorite song to play while on air? You know that makes your day that much better?
Famous:
you know hardly every am i not in a good mood but what gets me even more juiced and hyped is the “Good Times” theme song. after hearing that its on an poppin
Me:
Lol “GOOD TIMES”? What’s your favorite lyric from the theme song?
Famous:
(singing in a high pitched voice) “hanging in the chow line”
Me:
So back to 80West radio, thanks for starting the show. How hhas the responce been?
Famous:
No problem. The inital responce has been pretty good. we have gotten alot of love from some great artist such as E-40, Big Omeezy, Bueno, Dezit Eaze, and J. Gib just to name a few. besides that Nikia an I have the pleasure to run into listeners and community involved people and they feel that we are doing something positive and giving Sacramento a chance of being heard…not to mention i love your support =)
Me:
Ever since the show have you seen sacramento become more unified?
Famous:
ive seen more of Sacramento artist supporting each other nad networking with one another so i do believe in the world of music we are moving in the right direction (done)
Me:
You guys have a thing called “sac’s finest’ on the show. Tell us a little bit about it plz
Famous:
Well Sac’s Finest is a spinoff from the Artist Spotlight…we want Sacramento to be on full blast with 80 West first because we believe there is great talent within our city…and since Sacramento is a gumbo pot city now thats why we entended our hand to all of Northern Cali to be in on the show…however this is the only place in the show where it is 100% Sacramento ONLY
Me:
There’s no other show like 80west. What is your favorite part of the show?
Famous:
hahaha why thank you….we put ALOT of work and thought into the show and if anyone listens to the show i hope they know that “Bless It Or Burn It” is my favorite part of the show
Me:
Yeah! Bless it and burn it has caused a lot of controversy and hurt feelings. Why do you think that is?
Famous:
you know what i dont really think that no one has had their feeling hurt or at least i hope not…the “Bless it Or Burn It” segment of the show is like the radio version of American Idol..off top anyone that has been put in that segment has been totally aware of it…it is NOT a make fun of you portion of the show…alot of “artist” feel that they are the next big thing and sometimes i dont agree with that…so rather than leaning onto my own opinions i ask the contestants if they feel comfortable with having the listener’s vote to bless it or burn it…several people have made it thru that segment with blessings such as T-Mazz, J Slick, Kendra De Anna, and most recently Tavia Jenkins…the only the only thing i can really say to people who happen to get their feelings hurt is 80 West Radio gave you a shot and expect to hear a 1,000 no’s before you hear a yes…an we encourage anyone who has had their record burned to hop back on that horse an keep pushing
Me:
Good point. But some people may think that the radio is what makes them. Do you think that’s true?
Famous:
I disagree radio dosent MAKE or BREAK you…having your music heard on radio is a blessing that could make something happend for you. i think people lost sight of what music is….music is made to tell a story, to inspire, and to make someone dance and feel good…now it seems as if people attempt to make music to get rich or have status
Me:
I feel it, how has being in radio influenced you? Has it opened you eyes to new things?
Famous:
Radio is a wonderful tool like i said a lil earlier i feel like im at school sometimes being here…ive always had personality, hahaha i was Famous before i joined with the Bomb but being here i have learned its now how radio can influence me but how can i influence radio…radio is like a relationship if im honest with you, tell you wonderful stories, and i can make u laugh i got you for life….but if im fake, dishonest, or a horrible speaker you’ll never listen. Ive always been good at heart and have wanted to do the best and i feel that i try to bring that to the airwaves or even when im out in public if most feel that i am a pretty straight up good guy =)
and as for my eyes being opened hahahaha i realized that there is alot of HARD work with working in radio but at the end of the day i wouldnt trade it for any other job
Me:
Who is your favorite guest you’ve had on air and why?
Famous:
E-40 hands down because growing thats who i listened to…c’mon u know E-40 is that guy…and everytime that ive meet 40 he has been the most humble non-ego having guy…not to mention dude knows my name and follows me on twitter hahahahaha and it was before he was on the show..so when we had the pleasure of opening up 80 West on radio he was the 1st guest and he stayed for the whole show…..mad love for the whole Sick Wit It fam
Me:
That’s what’s up! He seems fun and fun to be around. Okay I’ve been interviewing you for 4 hours! U a busy man! I’m going to let you get back to keeping the airwaves lit. Is there anything else you would like to say? Shoutouts?
FamousOnTheRadio:
also to anyone making music its ok to feel yourself…but if you want an honest feedback give it to someone you dont know
and always strive to be the best and do the best… and Nikia is one of the BEST people i have had the pleasure of working with (she really is the brains of the show) and with that said kisses to my ladies and dapps to my dawgs (ruff ruff) im out (done)
Me:
Lmao ruff ruff! Thanx famous!
FamousOnTheRadio:
all good
