A lot of people have kinda tried to fit you into this "gimmick" rapper pigeonhole, because of your subject matter. What do you say to them?
Necro: Everything is relative… its how you look at it. I feel like the majority of people follow what other people say as opposed to creating their own form of opinion. Even the press… I mean people will say that what I say is an example of what shock is… but… what about a gay backpacker emcee -
Nah - I think I'll pass…
Necro: Seriously though, you have this little gay backpacker talking about Hiphop and getting his dick sucked at the coffee house - in his own realm, he's trying to shock his little fag fans… all those other litte guys who drink coffee. "Look at me! I look like a fag - and I'm rhyming good!" EVERYBODY'S trying to shock people somehow… when Nas drops Ether he's trying to shock people by shitting on Jay-Z. But people won't call that shock lyrics. Everybody's trying to shock. If you'er putting stuff out there, and expecting people to just stop their day to look at your shit? You're trying to shock them. Gwen Stefani shows her belly in the video, and she's trying to catch people. So, when I rhyme it ain't like I'm "oh, let me PLAN to be crazy", the fact is it HAS to be crazy. Or I ain't feeling it - I can't get open to it. Its like if you're having sex, and you're fucking the same girl over and over, and her pussy's all loose now… she's gonna get boring -
