Exclusive U.S.U.K. Interview!

jmine — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:43:38 +0000

Miss Artoholik sits down with Chi-town’s own U.S.U.K for an exclusive interview. U.S.U.K. is blowing in like that Chi-town wind, taking no prisoners, and ready to leave their mark on Hip-Hop!

What is the official name of the group and how what’s the meaning behind it?
TimBuckTu: U.S.U.K, I was born in the US and Abstract was born in the U.K, So We put that together! Thats how we became U.S.U.K!

Who and/or what are your inspirations?

TimBuckTu:
Family and Friends. As well as my Community!

The Society where I come from motivates me to work harder. The people who live across the street from me or in the same building, people who come from the same conditions I come from and worse are my inspiration!

I enjoy the art form more than I enjoy the benefits!

Abstract: not really one to be inspired, music or anything .. i like a lil bit of all kinda music from pop, neo-soul to oldies etc. i do what i wanna do rather than look at someone else’s success

What makes you unique? What makes you stand out from other rappers coming out of Chi-town?

TimBuckTu: Im unique because of my sound! And the way I arrange my music. Its different because most artist thats mainstream will brag on what they got, Instead I will tell you how I got what i got so that you can get it to! I want the best for everybody, My music is like the best kept secret, i just keep it real and try to set the bar higher for myself cause I’m my only competition.

As far as Chicago artist a lot of them trying to sound like Kanye or Drake, I mean its easy to emulate someone else style when they hot, but its pointless cause they goon always be better than you, and when they are no longer hot, these swagger jackers gon have to jump on the next person bandwagon and try to emulate the new hot sensation to get attention. but hey before they know it, they gon be trying emulate my style. LOL!

Abstract: as a producer it’s hard to sound different, I don’t think i stand out as much …

What’s your take on the state of Hip-Hop right now?

TimBuckTu:

Hip Hop right now is Changing! And the people who have roles in Hip Hop don’t understand where Hip Hop is going so it creates a lot of confusion.To me Hip Hop is not at its best right now only because of the transition that its about to make. The future is going back to the past, Its going back to when black people created Rock’n Roll as far as the look. The Lyrics are going back to the late 80′s and early 90′s.

Abstract: Nas was right hip-hop is dead. people make garbage and label it hip-hop. club bangers aren’t hip-hop. skinny jeans movement isn’t hip-hop. Real lyricists don’t get promoted half as much as these new young dudes who ain’t nothing real to say. I’m disappointed to know what we came from.

What’s the one thing you can’t leave the house without everyday (eg. ipod, blackberry, new era fitted, fave pair of kicks)?

TimBuckTu: As much as I hate talking on the cell phone. its gotta be my cell phone.

It got the internet, youtube, email, time, contacts, voice memo, calendar dates, pictures, camera, video camera, word document, Excel mobile, ESPN, Myspace, and every thing else that I use. LOL

Abstract: God .. simple lol

Jade’s Fall/Winter Fashion – Part 3

Miss Famous — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:37:02 +0000

Here we go….The 3^rd and final lesson on Fall Fashion!!!

We’ve covered, boots and sweaters, now to top it all off with jeans!!! Jeans have to be the greatest gift from the fashion gods ever!!! Jeans are so universal and paired with the right item can be dressed up or down and worn anywhere. They come in so many styles they have the ability to flatter any figure. They come in straight leg, boot cut, low rise and skinny just to name a few! Right now my favorite pair of jeans is by Almost Famous and they are great! I love the way they fit, they’re stylish and affordable!! I stumbled upon a pair of ripped jeans and have been on a hunt for more just like them. It’s hard to find a really good pair of jeans that will last, so when you do find some, hold on to them!

Their web site www.almostfamousclothing.com is currently under construction, but until it is up and running you can shop online for great deals on Almost Famous at www.tillys.com or at Sear’s department stores near you!

Happy Shopping,

Jade
