Thanks for submitting your questions to Tzire! Although, we
would have loved to forward all of your questions to him, we decided to pick 6
questions, which we thought most interesting from the butch and got Tzire to
answer them! We hope his answers would have clarified some of your doubts.
Check if your question(s) have been answer below!
Q: What inspire your lyrics?
A: Umm, I do raps on issues I feel strongly about, like the
adelyn hosehbo or SMRT incidents. I don’t necessarily have an inspiration all
the time. Most of the time, I just write rap when I’m bored, or even when I’m
feeling down.
Q: Are they any youtube stars that you look up to? (can be from either the local or international scene)
A: Yeah!
George Watsky, Tiffany Alvord, and D-Pryde to name a few. The rapper i
look up to most is of course Eminem, i mean, he is the King of Rap after
all. And if i one day i could accomplish just 50% of what he has
accomplished in his life, i would already be very, very satisfied.
Q: Will you perhaps, do a rap in chinese?
A: Yeah definitely! But i'll leave that for next time. For now, i'm just gonna keep on working on my English rap skills haha.
Q: What do you think of the Singapore music industry?
A: Honestly,
i think it's a really poor industry. Cos there are seriously a lot
talented musicians in Singapore, but because they're based here, they
don't get the recognition that they deserve and would have gotten had
they been in other countries like Australia, or the US. Even the
musicians that have made it locally find it really hard to get on to the
next level, the international stage, and that's because nobody really
takes Singapore's music industry seriously. Of course, this is just my
opinion, so it may be false, but from what i see, Singapore's music
industry isn't an ideal one for an aspiring musician.
Q: Do you plan to take rapping seriously? Perhaps making it your career in the future?
A:Yup
that's what i hope to do. If i could make a career out of music or
rapping, it would be a dream come true to me. My life would then be
complete.
Q: As you might have heard Justin Bieber's new number, boyfriend (he
actually did a small section of rap). What do you think of it?
A:Well,
if i were looking at it from a rapper's point of view, then it's in
reality a very lousy rap. You can ask any decent rapper, that small
section of rap was nothing much. Probably 90% of rappers in the US could
have free-styled that verse. But since that song wasn't a hardcore rap
song, and people nowadays are so easily impressed by 1-syllable rhymes,
then it actually is quite a good rap. Adding on, Justin Bieber isn't
even a rapper, he's a singer, and an awesome singer at that. The fact
that he could rap it out so well is already pretty great. Of course, who
am i to judge him haha. He's Justin Bieber... The most famous artiste
in the world right now...
Thank you, Tzire, for making this entry possible!
