I know I haven't been posting regularly, this is because I want to make sure everything I post is well thought through and is from the heart (believe it or not).
Anyway I saw this video of Selena Gomez, Kill em' with Kindness (Yo! we need to talk about how Selena is now all kinds of sexy but still remains sweet and wholesome)
This was the still on YouTube, so naturally I taught it was a lyric video, so I didn't open it. However, it wasn't (to be honest I am still feeling stupid because if I had clicked the link, this post might have been 2 weeks earlier). That's that! now let's go to the topic for today.
I 'GIFed' (I know that's not a real word but I just hope you understand) a clip from Selena's video Hands to Myself. That's why the title reads I am not a troll, because it was all in good fun.
Then, yesterday while watching Kill em' with Kindness see what I saw y'all
And I was like she finally got it right! (Not like she was trying to though, if you get what I mean but if you don't never mind) See the both of them and be the judge.
Y'all I'm not bored I just really enjoy doing stuff like this; retaining random celebrity information- songs, music video, movies interviews for a later date. Like right now!
I have been sitting on this interview for while now because I kinda bit more than I could chew.😖🙈
However, first lemme say; this is my second interview.So, I am overjoyed 💃that it has finally made its way here after almost 6 months people!!!🙊
The first one I did was on Vic.O and it was a lot easier because it was a written interview. However, I wanted something more exciting and different because people don't like reading.
So I decided to do a recorded phone interview.
The plan;
1) Record the call
2) Put it on Movie maker; including his latest song and pictures
Thus, creating a motion picture with a nice beat! -It really sounded like a plan.
*What I forgot recorded calls have low quality and strange formats that are not compatible with most software; including movie maker!😖🙈
People the quality and the incompatibility kept me running helter-skelter for months! That's a story for another day.
Thanks to all (not mentioning them because they know themselves) who helped improve my efforts.
People, there you have it my interview with Danagog.👏 (really proud of myself y'all)
Danagog Interview
Here's a brief intro just case! Sorry it could probably have been better I'm not really one for introductions. I like to go straight to business (Not in all cases though👅(corny ass me... I'll stop now))
Singing and Influences
My first question was about his transition from rapping to
singing. If you are a Danagog fan, you’d remember his early records like Mercy
Johnson and Emoti were essentially rap songs. However, Hookah which is an
awesome song by the way doesn’t have that same hip hop vibe. WATCH THE VIDEO TO
GET THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE (people there’s no good reason for the caps, I
just did it for effect and because I can).
We also spoke about his influences which included Puff Daddy
and Jay-Z which was a surprise to me because I had never seen that anywhere
else (his biography on blogs and websites) it’s usually like Run DMC, King Sunny Ade and D’banj. So y’all just got the
exclusive here…. Don’t worry, you don’t have to say thank you😏.
Motivation, Passion And Other Interests
Then we looked at what motivates/drives him to pursue his
passion. It was a typical answer… I’m sure you can guess what it was without
watching the video😆.Then he discussed his other interest have y’all heard of ‘Grace
of God’?
Difficulty In Managing A Music Career
His response here was also typical- basically it was
difficult…But what I found poignant were
the details- the peculiarity of his own experience. His university degree, how
he tried to juggle his studies with music. And how he continues to balance music with other interest.
Main Career Interest
Right! Here I am just going to go straight to the point
Daniel really loves rapping. Like he said earlier he went into singing for
commercial reasons (that's if you watched the first video). However, he seems to have caught the singing bug listen to
the clip below.
Experience And Exposure
Y’all know back in 2011 Danagog did some
collaborations with Igho and Orezi. Okay...I asked him what the difference
was working with the aforementioned and Davido. My question was so off…LOL I
think I can laugh at myself now. First of all who talks about a question being
inappropriate, that’s like setting yourself up🙉. Then the question was so
ambiguous ‘what’s the difference in the energy in the studio when working with
Davido compared to the aforementioned is it the same or is it different?’ (P.S
I am not really quoting more like paraphrasing the real question was more ambiguous (I am really just trying to save face)…🙈) What was I expecting him to
say David being younger is more energetic compared to Igho and Orezi (who were older
at the time he worked with them).
Anyway, God bless him. He focused the question on himself
and his growth from the time period of working with the aforementioned to
Davido and it was really good. Give it a listen!
