MISTABEE INTERVYOU.

WORD UP SONS, THE MASTER OF MULTIS WITH THE SMOOTHEST FLOW IN SCOTLAND CATCHES UP WIT MISTABEE TO TALK ABOUT LESBIANS, PIGEONS AND MOTHERFUCKIN SHEDS!


YOUR MOST KNOWN FOR YOUR WORK ON THE MISS CONCEPTION MIXTAPE. HOW DID YOU, DONNIE C AND EVADE POD COME ABOUT WORKIN TOGETHER?

Donnie, dave and maself started working together around about last winter. I met dave through konchis and donnie through jay at mcf. since our freezing weekend recording excess baggage in a shed we have been close ever since. now with reeko from all the queens bovine doing more production and also playing live so the next instalment will be fantastic.


FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW, WHATS VOLITON?

Volition means different things to everyone involved. to me it is a support group of people who share the same interests and have experience in whatever we decide to do. volition is essentially a good idea gone awry in the best possible way. Hopefully this is volitions year and we can make some possitive moves towards doing some good and challengeing steriotypes.

WE NEVER SEEN EVADE ON STAGE WITH YOU AND DONNIE AT THE PIVO GIG, HAS DAVE LEFT THE BAND?

the dave thing was sheerly a logistical cockup, we found about about the gig a week before the night and after a shaky rehersal i decided to book a studio room 2 days before the event. dave was a no show and we had to make up a new setlist because we didnt know if he was going to show up or not and that was the best oppertunity to get our sets tight. after donnie and myself gave up on dave appearing we made a new setlist and that was the one we were comfy with performing. if we do get a gig where we can use excess baggage again he will deffinetly be there.


YOU WORKIN ON ANY SOLO PROJECTS?

my solo project is called my sister belinda, it has been in the pipeline for years and it moast likely wont get finished. i enjoy working on it but prefer to keep myself buisy working with other emcees and producers. Reek from all the queens bovine has done all the production for this and im sure it will sound great once im happy with the way i sound on my own songs.


WHY DID YOU GO WITH THE NAME 'MY SISTAH BELINDA'? DO YOU HAVE A SISTER, AND IS HER NAME BELINDA?

My sister belinda was a song ma papa used to sing to us when he was pished and its the last real memory i have of him so its a bit of a homage to a great man and fits in with the family concept thats quite big on ma tape and in ma life

DID REEKO DO ALL THE PRODUCTION ON THE BAGAGE MIXTAPE?


A wish reek done all the production but for the last one we used alot of beats from the interweb but reek done chilled hop and r.k.b.p wich are the best on the album id say but then again im probably biased.


HA CHILLED HOPS ONE OF MUH FAVOURITES OFF IT TOO. WHO CAME UP WITH THE TITLE RAPE KILL BABY PUNCH, AND HAS ANY BUTCH LESBIAN ACTIVISTS PUNCHED ANY OF YOU DUE TO IT?

yeah man, it is a really nice beat and donnies verse is spot on in many, many ways. I think thats my favourate verse on the tape. Naming that song was a bad idea. It came about because we were recording solid and were just throwing around ideas. I used to pretend it was a social experiment but really we were just fannying around after all the hard work had been done. No lesbians have attacked us but it was funny how on the forum, the song got slated by quite a few folk that cant take a joke but it hardly got downloaded for them to actually form an oppinion. I love that song and think it went down quite well at the gig after we removed the rape kill baby punches.


WHAT WAS THE ONE VIDEO TAPE YOU WORE OUT DUE TO OVER WATCHINGS SON?

i never watched videos as a child, i was either in a tree or playing sega, guess im lucky. although when i was a nipper freddie got fingered wae a favourite of mines until i realised how desperate tom green is.



WE CAUGHT YOU AT THE DONT FLOP BATTLES. YOU WHERE PUT UP AGAINST A TOUGH COMPETATOR. SOMETHING YOUR KEEN ON DOING AGAIN, OR HAS IT SHOOK YOU SON?


The battles were fun. A did take it a bit outa context and fucked it but im up against the grim uncle paul in august. Dont no if u know him haha. Its a great learning experience to battle a proper legend but after the next one im out of the battlein scene. Its not as fun as recordin and im a big fan ov makin happyish tunes.

HOW HAIRY IS YOUR CHEST?

Ive got none, cant grow any n dnt wana.

WE ALL DO STUPID SHYIT WHEN DRUNK SON. WHATS YOUR MOST WORTHY DRUNK STORY?

Many many bad things. Its a reason why am not a big drikner. Once i decapitated the santa in ma local and two new years ago i got ma hole wearing a mini skirt n too too, id say those are the things i can remember


CAN YOU GIVE ME DONNIE'S SISTAHS NUMBAH?


Id love to help but no, somehow i feel boudarys may be crossed by that.

IM SURE THERE'S ALOT OF US KEEN TO SEE YOU ON STAGE AGAIN, WITH DAVE THIS TIME. WHENS THE NEXT EXCESS BAGGAGE GIG GOIN TO BE?

I would kill to do a gig again, im just new to all of this and dont really know what to do. I did have great fun at pivo pivo but i would rather record another excess baggage and do that live. All the preperation for the last gig was great fun and payed off so i wouldent mind working on a whole new setlist before i do a gig again, although if i was offered one tomorrow i would have no problems as i am extremely proud of the tape and how it sounded live. Once again alot of that greatness was down to reeks efforts.


HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WRITTING RAPS FOR?

Ive been wrighting for about four years, i was in a rubbsh group when i was like fifteen. We used a two track tape recorder to record our album and the quality of the rappers, including myself and the recordings were horrible sounding. What really got me going was reek, before i recorded any proper songs reek and i would have jams with guitars or keyboards or anything that could make a blues/jazz melody and we would try and keep up with each other. I think he is the reason i am still making music instead of giving up when all the members of my orriginal group stopped.

WHATS THE BIGGEST ANIMAL YOUVE EVER KILLED?

I got to pop a cap in a pidgeon the other day in work, i felt right hard, like 50 cent with my nine, well air rifle but the wee bastard still died and didnt shit on another van.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT IN YOUR POCKETS RIGHT NOW? THATS ASSUMING YOUR WEARING THINGS WITH POKCTES.

theres a packet of skins and some rennies.

JUST HOW GOOD IS MISTABEE AT SKIPPING STONES ON THE WATER?
