Good evening, folks of the net. Coming to you live from the center of the Earth, 4000 miles below sea level, this is Quikstik, aka Mike M. Tonight we'll be sending you into the mind of Genius' own TRUly_Chancelor, as I had the opportunity to speak to his lordship only a few eons ago.
Quikstik: So just off the rip, no shade, of all the artists to stan, why 2 Chainz?
TRUly_Chancelor: Well, to be honest. 2 Chainz isn't my favorite rapper or anything (He's in my top 20 tho). The reason that I go hard for him on this site is because of how underrated/appreciated he is as an artist and as a rapper.
Quikstik: I can dig that. Dude is underrated as an entertainer. So that being established, the more rudimentary question: Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?
TRUly_Chancelor: I'm from the state (well, techincally Commonwealth) of Virginia about an hour outside of Washington DC.
Quikstik: For those of us outside those cities, what's the music scene like?
TRUly_Chancelor: My specific area is fairly rural so there isn't really a rap scene outside of a couple local dudes that no one knows. Virginia is home to some greats though like Pharrell, Pusha T, D.R.A.M., DP, Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, & Trey Songz. Once you expand to the whole DMV we have artists like Wale, Fat Trel, Goldlink, Logic, Shy Glizzy, Chaz French, and King Los.
Quikstik: Oh dang, I thought King Los was from New York for some reason. Out of curiosity, what brought you to Genius originally, and how long have you been here?
TRUly_Chancelor: Nah, Los is from Baltimore. I don't really remember the exact answer to either of those questions lol. I think I was googling an Eminem lyric and as soon as I saw the annotation feature I was set. It's been about 3 years since I originally joined the site, so I've seen it go through all sorts of changes.
Quikstik: Well that means the both of us have been around enough to remember when we called it RG. Anyways, your faves have both done collaborative projects recently, so for the folks at home: What does the TRUUUUUUUUUUUUly Chancelor think of Collegrove and Freebased Freestyles?
TRUly_Chancelor: Honestly I was a little disappointed by Collegrove outside of Bounce. Overall it was a decent project, but I had higher hopes. Freebased was dope for what it was and I liked the energy and Noname feature, but I'm really waiting for this new Chano (fingers crossed it actually drops on the 30th).
Quikstik: Since you’re a 2 Chainz stan, I gotta ask, just as a guy who likes ridiculous things: You ever watch that Most Expensivest Shit show he does for GQ, and if so what’s your favorite expensive shit?
TRUly_Chancelor: I love Most Expensivest Shit (although the grammatical error in the name does kinda annoy me) and my personal favorite episode would have to be the Kobe hat one because of this quote. My favorite purchase he made was his bulldog Trappy. Vaguely related: 2 Chainz saying "Crib bigger than your imagination" on 3500 was the best extravagant rap boast of 2015.
Quikstik: LOL. Chainz must listen to a lot of Raekwon then, that sounds like something he'd say. You playing any video games at the moment?
TRUly_Chancelor: Just Tetris recently lol (got to level 26 the other day tho). I haven't been into console games ina couple years, but to give you more of an answer my alltime top 5 is COD Black Ops, COD Modern Warfare 2, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Star Wars Battlefront 2, & Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Quikstik: You sir are my kinda gamer. Speaking of games, what's your book game like?
TRUly_Chancelor: Lacking. Mostly I've just been reading for school recently, but that hasn't all been bad. I've really enjoyed 1984 & Cry The Beloved Country recently. I really want to get back into reading for pleasure again and like a pretty wide variety, any good recommendations?
Quikstik: For starters I'd recommend looking up critiques of 1984. I remember reading that as a high school student and it scared the crap out of me until I looked at it more critically. Other than that I'd recommend On The Road by Jack Keroauc, Watchmen by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons, and also V For Vendetta by Alan Moore & David Lloyd. (The book's way better). Also War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Best book I read in high school hands down.
Quikstik: Since this took forever to get organized proper, I do wanna ask: Why in 2016 do you not have a Twitter?
TRUly_Chancelor: Don't have a twitter for a couple reasons. First, I go so hard on Instagram (@mister_solo_dolo_) that it would be too much work to deal with both. Second, I've just never really felt the need for one because the internet has so many other good platforms. And finally, because the world just isn't ready. I might be making one over the summer though.
Quikstik: Get your DJ Khaled on, nice. Does Young Metro trust you?
TRUly_Chancelor: Yes, I dapped him up several times when I saw him on Chance's Family Matters tour.
Quikstik: It's funny you mention that tour, I saw Chance too but I don't remember seeing Metro. Maybe dude couldn't take weather so different from his native Atlanta here in the north. Anyhow, Hov or Nas?
TRUly_Chancelor: Hov. And as a continuation, Takeover > Ether.
Quikstik: YES. All of the yes on that answer. What’s the GOAT TV show?
TRUly_Chancelor: Zoey 101.
Quikstik: Well it is a classic. Who do you think holds the most L's right now, Tyga or B.o.B?
TRUly_Chancelor: B.o.B. because Neil Degrasse Tyson rekt him.
Quikstik: Somebody comes to your hometown, what's the best eats in the city?
TRUly_Chancelor: If you're ever in little old Orange, Virginia, I recommend The Barbecue Exchange (goat tier bbq), Happy Garden (chinese), or El Vaquero (mexican).
Quikstik: Lastly, do people respeck your name?
TRUly_Chancelor: Obviously they put repeck on my name playboi. You betta belee dat. If they don't put respeck on TRUly i truly don't respeck em. This question too easy. You finished or you done?
