Metaphysics Interview
Fast wäre aus dieser Story nichts geworden. Das Interview mit Metaphysics sollte nämlich am Abend des Xavier Naidoo Konzerts in Göttingen, wo er mit seiner Crew Migrant Souls als Vorband auftrat, stattfinden. Als ich ankam, war weder Metaphysics zu erreichen noch stand ich auf der Gästeliste wie abgemacht. Ums kurz zu machen, nach xxx Telefonaten (Big Thanks an dieser Stelle noch mal an Martin von S.W.A.M.P.-Records für seine Bemühungen) wurde ich dann draußen von einem gut gelaunten Metaphysics im "Ghetto-Style" in die Halle geholt, die Gästeliste war zu früh geschlossen worden, kann man nichts machen, so hatte ich dann seine Show zwar leider verpasst, konnte aber noch die letzten Tracks von Chima und das ganze Konzert von Xavier Naidoo mitkriegen, der seinem Ruf als größter deutscher Pop-Star der letzten Jahre alle Ehre machte und wirklich eine große Show ablieferte, an der auch Metaphysics, der Xavier bei 2 Liedern unterstützte, seinen Beitrag hatte. Als ich dann aus der Konzerthalle kam, pumpten mir auch schon die dicken Beats von Metaphysics EP "Elevated Perception" entgegen, Autogramme schreiben war angesagt und dabei hatte man natürlich auch dafür gesorgt, dass der Boomblaster gut gefüttert war. Als die letzten dicken Kinder den Stand verlassen hatten, konnten wir dann doch noch das Interview starten.
Freaknetz: Most of our readers won't know you till now, so please introduce yourself a little.
Metaphysics: The name is Metaphysics, jah infinite, the wizard of weed and a grand magician. Born and raised in Zimbabwe in 1973, that makes me 27 years old, we're representing Hip Hop on every concert on the planet. (Wir laufen während des Interviews durch die ganze Halle und treffen nun auf seinen Homie Shaki) This is my boy Leguan Shaki, we've been partners
Shaki: What's up? What's Up Deutschland? Leguan Shaki in the house (Metaphysics weist ihn freundlicherweise darauf hin, dass das hier aufgeschrieben wird und übernimmt mal eben das Interview)
Metaphysics: How long have you been rapping for?
Shaki: 15 years.
Metaphysics: What was your greatest moment in Hip Hop?
Shaki: The day we meet, our first group.
Metaphysics: Yeah, which was 1992.
Shaki: In Metaphysics bedroom.
Metaphysics: We took that all the way to Johannisburg, South Africa, and we blew up in South Africa, we been representing ever since from New York, Germany, London, we rocked it everywhere.
How was the tour so far?
Yo, the tour was cool until I couldn't find the toilet and then things started getting crazy, 'cause I needed to find a toilet (jetzt raffe ich auch was er die ganze Zeit sucht und wir begeben uns auf die Suche nach einer Toilette um ihn endlich von seinen Qualen zu befreien) but it's a great experience to be on both ends of the spectrum, you know, on the one level, being a very underground-MC and then the flipside of that, being somebody that's commercial recognized, who is performing with the more recognized groups in Germany: Xavier Naidoo, Die Söhne Mannheims, yo believe it or not I even worked with Nena, Udo Lindenberg, you know, it's nice to be able to come from a distant place like
(nun treffen wir auf G-Man einen Menschen von seinem Labe mit dem er kurz plaudert.- Und dann endlich links hinten in der Ecke das WC-Zeichen! Er scheint sehr erleichtert und erzählt während der Verrichtung seines kleinen Geschäfts fröhlich weiter) Yo, Germany is cool, the tour is cool and it's nice to be able to work on any spectrum on a musical level and express myself as a Hip Hop-artist on big stages and small stages, I consider that a blessing, because I believe in higher powers.
You say there are different elements of you, when you are on stage and on your EP, where is the difference between these elements?
Through nature and live taken it's course you learn to survive in different parts of existence, when I am with my parents it's completely different to me, then when I might be on stage and, I think within everybody we have different elements of our personality and Metaphysics for me is the stronger element of my Hip Hop personality but at the same time I'm also partly a very sensitive person if I'm dealing with my mum or dealing with certain other life aspects and you just learn to balance that out and make more elements more stronger and for me, Metaphysics is the stronger element within' the Hip Hop-expression, if we were discussing our spiritual matters or something like that, than you probably get a different radiation of energy, you learn to tap that if you been rocking mics as long as I have, you learn to tap what works out on stage, if I was to be 100% metaphysical upon on stage, that came towards Xavier Naidoo, then I probably look like an idiot. But when I'm 100% metaphysical on a Hip Hop-stage, where the people came to watch Hip Hop, then I'd been representing to the fullest, so you just got to learn to balance what works on what particular time, it's all Metaphysics but it's different doses of.
Is it hard for you to play before a pop-star like Xavier is?
For me it's all about art. In school, university level, I actually studied film and I've done two feature-films, so I've studied acting, I've done drama, so I'm studying theatre, so it's all about communication with the audience, it's all about what you give to the audience, wether it's hip hop or even just poetry or just talking, stand up comedy, being able to communicate with people. So, for me it's not very difficult, I worked on all levels of entertainment, from television, to radio, so I learned the most important thing about any artist in any musical form is communication, if you are not communicating, then your not saying anything.
Was the crowd rocking here in Göttingen?
The crowed definitely rocked when Xavier came on stage, because thats what they came to see, but they gave us a lot of love as well with my group Migrant Souls, we got a very good response so that was pretty cool and I think for the kind of audience that is, definitely! I mean, not everybody is a hardcore-hip hopper and even selling my CD out here (zeigt auf die Fanartikel-Verkaufsstände) I feel a little guilty, because I know it's not for this kind of audience, I feel a little bit sad that people are excited to see the guy who was on the Xavier Naidoo-stage and buy the CD but when they get home it's not for this kind of people, the Metaphysics stuff is for another audience and another group, but it's good, like I said, to express yourself on different levels.
Which MCs inspired you and to who do you look up to?
KRS-One, Rakim, Aesop Rock, Juggaknots, Mastermind, Scienz Of Life, anybody who is talking about consciousness and life and I'm trying to uplift an art or a movement or a realisation, you know, even up to straight up poets like Saul Williams, he's just straight up poetry and he says something that applies to different aspects of existence, I love that, I love being able to listen somebody who has got something to say, even if it's not over music, even if it's just like a conversation but most of my greater inspirations come from not even the hip hop aspect, but just from conversation with day-to-day ordinary people. It's all poetry it's all rhythm and poetry to me.
What do you think about all the Ja Rules and Jiggas etc.
Yo, let's not forget in the earlier times people like Rakim is raw, but talking about getting paid in full, this is it. I think black people have to use the resources they have and a few resources black people have is music, basketball, it's only now that black people have been allowed to enter the corporate sector of the world or run their own businesses. It's not something that's been going for a long time, so I have a lot of respect for young black businessman, who have learned to use the elements of marketing, who have learned to use elements of promotion, to better themselves. It's not easy, it never has been and especially in places like America, when you remember things like slavery, just ended! It's only now black people are getting recognized as corporate players. You got black people playing golf, you got black people running businesses and doing their thing. So that jiggy stuff, I mean, it's just a level of marketing, it's pure marketing, and on that level I give it respect. As a musical form, I rather listen to something else. But I don't diss it, because I know what it is and why it is that. But there is a difference between music-business and music and a lot of these cats deal with music-business and that's an artform, too.
What music do you like to party over?
Yo, last night I was in a house-club, I used to trip on LSD, so the techno-shit goes down too, sometimes. In Africa we have a music form called quital (Ich habe leider gar keine Ahnung wie das richtig geschrieben wird, aber so klang es), which is like house and hip hop with ethnic chants over it, I love quital music, it is really, really, really good to party over. R&B if the honeys are hot. You know, when the girls look good, R&B sounds even better. Yeah, I mean, wherever there's a vibe! Sometimes, it's even really nice to just be by a fire-place and my boy is playing the guitar and singing to me, that's a party too, it's a musical form I respect as well.
Are there any German artists you like?
I really feel the German, because he has managed to transsend languages so I understand him, because he rhymes in English as well, to me it's easier. I have a lot of respect for KC Da Rookee, because I know what he's doing and I understand him, I have a lot of respect for Samy, because I met him and I know him as a person, I have a lot of respect for the Spezializtz, because their energy they always deliver, I have a lot of respect for Kool Savas, because I see how he manipulates his energys and how he is a real person and when he is on stage, how he manages to manifest that, I have a lot of respect for
yo, a lot of the German MCs actually, what you get to know, that you are dealing with people and I have more respect for the art, then for the people, for me that is what opens the gate. But the ones that I mentioned, I rate them the highest. Props to Dynamite, he hook me up in his mix.
With Defisis you have a very nice feature on your new EP, with which other artists would you like to work in future?
Right now I'm hoping to take it back, to get a lot of African cats on record, I really wanna get a lot of my old school heroes, like Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, I would love to do something with Rakim, Phi Life Cypher from the UK, men from all over the world, it's Hip Hop everywhere, I wouldn't mind to work with Saian Super Crew, just anybody who is representing energy and love. I'm not particular, like trying to pinpoint an MC, it's all about time, the right place and the right moment, the right vibe, that's most important.
FS.W.A.M.P. Records seems to me like a very fresh and innovative label, do you like your work there?
I like it when somebody is able to follow through on an idea and take it from concept to final and that's what I have a lot of respect for, that they actually know how to follow through. I think it's an good example for any independent person, who wants to do their own thing, that it's possible, you can take an idea, and take it from just an idea to the end. I think that's what a lot of people lack on any level is taking an idea and taking it to the end. A lot of people stop at the idea, or stop at the production and never follow through. So, for me, I have respect for that team, which includes myself as well, which includes a lot of elements, coming together and following through. So working on that level is always good. Names may change, you know, because it's all about giving yourself identity. You know, a name is but a name, but a name, but a name, but a name, fuck the names and shit like that, it's about people.
Is there anything left to say? Any shout-outs?
Shout-Outs to the Migrant Souls crew, (dann noch zu einer Crew in Südafrika, deren Name ich nicht verstanden habe, Cashness Society?!?), Shout-Outs to the Orion.Pax, Defisis, Shout-Outs to anybody representing love of anything.
Jetzt kriegt Metaphysics auch endlich seinen heiß ersehnten Hot Dog von der freundlichen Dame, die ihren Stand eigentlich schon lange zumachen wollte, aber noch von der Migrant Souls Crew belagert wird, aber die Jungs brauchen ja ihre Energie, denn sie wollen ja morgen weiterrocken und dope HipHop auf jeder Ebene representieren.
Re: Metaphysics
und dann über seine erste ep 'elevated perception' (ich finds klasse!)
open your mind!
Metaphysics - Elevated Perception
Metaphysics, dieser Name kommt vielen von euch sicherlich gänzlich unbekannt vor, und doch, einige von euch sind mit ihm sicherlich schon mal in Berührung gekommen, sei es auf der diesjährigen Xavier Naidoo Tour, wo er zum einen mit seiner Band Migrant Souls im Vorprogramm spielte und zum anderen auch der MC in der Xavier Naidoo Show direkt war, oder auf Tracks diverser Artists die ihn schon featureten wie die Söhne Mannheims, Tyron Ricketts, Mellowbag u.a.. Nun hat dieser Mann, der sicherlich einer der interessantesten Charaktere im deutschen Rap-Biz ist (checkt daher auch unser Interview mit ihm), sein Solo-Ding in Form einer EP an den Start gebracht "Elevated Perception".
Genauso anders wie Metaphysics ist, ist auch die EP, sehr experimentell, sehr offen und sehr gut. Ab ersten Track wird klar, hier ist ein Lyricist außergewöhnlicher Stärke am Mic, großartiger Flow und Texte die man immer und immer wieder hören möchte.
Die Beats sind ebenfalls höchst außergewöhnlich und somit sehr wirkungsvoll. Der Großteil der Platte wurde von Hrubasch produziert, aber auch Koljticut, Alientech und sein DJ Iron Ive saßen an den Reglern.
Seine Tracks gehen über die ganze Bandbreite, auf "Embattled Phonetics" wird ein bisschen gebattelt, ein sehr cooler Track bei dem er von Defisis unterstützt wird, der uns ja vor kurzem mit seiner 12" begeisterte.
Die Tatsache das Metaphysics ein Kind eines deutschen Atheisten und einer afrikanischen Shona ist, wirkt sich sehr auf seine Texte aus, denn Metaphysics beschäftigt sich viel mit Gott, Aliens und übersinnlichen Dingen und es ist einfach nur interessant seinen Theorien zuzuhören, man merkt, dass sich hier einer wirklich Gedanken macht.
Mein Favorite auf dem Album ist definitiv "Evolution Paralex", ein Hammertrack mit schwerem, dicken Beat der direkt in den Magen geht und Lyrics die die gleiche Wirkung haben. Metaphysics formt hier in seinem Kopf die Zukunft in der er sich als Underground-Rebel durch eine Welt ohne Gesetze kämpfen muss.
Ein Album für Leute die Open-Minded sind. Sehr experimentelle Beats und Storys die sicher nicht jeder nachvollziehen und verstehen kann. Ich kann nur sagen ich bin begeistert, aber das muss hier wohl jeder für sich rausfinden, reinhören sollte man hier aber auf jeden Fall!
