So my lazy ass finally put down the damn PS 2 and picked up the pen and whipped up that Monchichi interview.
Was he really signed to Shady Records? Is L'Boogie on the new album? Where does he stand on the Indy vs Major debate? Faroe Monk has the answers. Dig in.
The good folks at Cornerstone Promotions have hooked us up with three signed copies of Pharoahe Monch's new album, Desire (in stores today), as well as free copies of the limited edition Gun Draws newspaper (see pic above).
Take your best shot at these Monch chi chi-related questions for a chance to win:
1) In a bid to capture a Rocky Balboa raw feel for his album, Pharoahe Monch recorded the bulk of Internal Affairs in:
a) a low-budget studio b) a closet c) a boxing ring d) a dressing room
2) How many songs did Pharoahe Monch ghostwrite on Diddy's Press Play?
You know the drill, send your answers to therapup at gmail dot com.
Who else you know with three hot videos, zero audience,and still inked to a major? Seriously though, there's no way Pharoahe has been eating off cereal and ghostwriting checks from Diddy for the past six years. I'm gonna double-check with my peeps in Queens to see if he's been "Pushin'" coke all along.
I'm having a one-on-one with one of the illest MCs alive. Besides how much Diddy paid him for his ghostwriting services on Press Play, what else should I ask the Monch Man?
I'm positive that Desire will finally see the light of day on 05-01-07. I also have high expectations for this album. I don't know, maybe it's because every time I hear track 4 on my ringtone, I'm reminded of Pharoahe's versatility. Funny, that song is not event vintage P-Monch.
