Ryu, Mike, and Cheapshot in FM Chat Tonight

[UnhingedMouse0]

This was in the FM chat tonight...

Its a bit confusing, but theres like a million things going on at once so it was hard enough to just get this. Sorry if its way too colorful for you. Itd be too hard to undestand otherwise.

*RYU ENTERS*

 

Ryu: hello everybody it's 10Am in japan I'm starting on my first beer

The show last night was probably one of the best shows we've ever had

and we're going to sound check in about a half an hour

you got some questions for me?

 

 

>>how was it working with someone like mike? was it intimidating or reassuring to work with someone with so much experience?

 

 

Ryu: I think being with Machine Shop and being with Mike Shinoda opens up different possibilities that we've never done in the past

And should make for Styles of Beyond to be more well rounded artists

 

 

>>Hey Ryu, Which was better for you to work on, THe Mixtape or the Album?

 

 

Ryu: The mixtape because that is more of my musical roots

It's just straight hip hop ***

it was a great experience working with Mike seeing as we've been friends so long

Mike has a great ear for making hit records and I think he can bring some of that to Styles of Beyond

 

 

>>yo ryu, which one of the mixtape/album songs do you believe represents you guys and the rest of FM best?

btw, splat and i send much love to ya!! keep rockin the mic. we’re behind you 100%.

 

 

Ryu: I think everyone we did on the mixtape and the Fort Minor record represents all of us equally because we all have different personalities and it comes out in what we do

But if you're asking me what my favorite song is, it's Spraypaint & Inkpens

 

 

>>Hey there Ryu, I was wondering how it feels to have these many fans before The Rising Tied is even out?

 

 

Ryu: I think the record is getting a great response

and we're real appreciative that everyone is accepting Fort Minor the way they have

 

 

*MIKE ENTERS*

 

 

Mike: awww yeah

 

 

>> dang it mike you said you werne't coming. lol

 

 

Mike: i'm just sitting in.

 

 

Mike: hi

 

 

JonandBT: No tour discussion, thanks. Mike - do you have a question for Ryu?

 

 

Mike: i'm an "m" -- so, ryu, was cheapshot drunk last night?

 

 

Ryu: Oh yes he was. He's realy hung over right now

He's got bloodshot eyes right now

He is drinking a trash can full of water

I'll take one last question cause I gotta get to sound check

 

 

>>Ryu what is your verse in "Feel Like Home" about? Mike's verse was a little more autobiographical, so I wondered if that's how yours was or if you were role-playing with that.

 

 

Ryu: In that song I was role playing...

I was speaking from the perspective of a homeless person

 

 

>>Ryu - did you have inspiration.? if so who was your inspiration to continure with hip hop.

Are we aloud to ask mike a question

 

 

Ryu: My inspiration for hip hop was the old school pioneers like Big Daddy Kane, Wu Tang Clan, people like that

 

 

Mike: i'm just hanging out, i'll throw in a word or two if it's appropriate.

 

 

Ryu: Hey I gotta run right now. I'm gonna go do sound check. I wish I could be on longer but I'll be on periodically just to say what's up

I miss you guys!

 

 

*RYU LEAVES*

 

 

Mike: we've gotta go do a soundcheck in a minute

 

 

*CHEAPSHOT ENTERS*

 

 

Mike: there we go

cheepycheep

 

 

Cheapshot: I miss being on the message boards and I'm glad to be back

 

 

>>Will Styles of Beyond be dropping any albums soon? And can we expect any DemiGodz projects?

Hope you feel better Cheapshot!

 

 

Cheapshot: Yes to both those questions

Styles of Beyond will be dropping May 2006 on Machine Shop Recordings...I think

And Demigodz, Apathy has a new record called Eastern Philosophy

And we're gonna put out a Demigodz record next year with the whole crew

 

 

Mike: we aren't sure about the month right now. but we want to get an SOB album out in 06 for sure

 

 

>> cheap, who did you have the most fun working with(in your career)

 

 

Cheapshot: My initial thoughts was just excited to be working with Mike again...

going in the studio with Mike I knew it was gonna be a big record

 

 

Mike: cheapshot did a really dope part in the song "feel like home" -- he scratches a part, then doubles it--kinda like a harmony--in the end.

 

 

>> Who musicaly influenced you cheap?

 

 

Cheapshot: The Beastie Boys- I did a remix with them on their Anthology DVD for "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun"

My musical influences were the later hip hop like Beastie Boys, Diamond D, Black Sheep

...and Kenny G too

 

 

Mike: don't forget celine dion.

 

 

Cheapshot: Hopefully SOB will be an innovator of hip hop...

I hope to be the Linkin Park of hip hop if you will...except I'm cuter than Mike

I actually physically didn't get to meet him. but I've been a fan for years and it was cool listening to him mixing it and shouting us out

I gotta go to soundcheck

i can take one more question

I definitely have noticed a change in fans

 

 

>> Cheap, Ryu said that before now you guys had never had many female fans before. Have you noticed a difference in the demographic of your fanbase now that you've done this project?

 

 

Cheapshot: It's great having more female fans and I hope to hang out with all of them when we get to all the countries

Even though we're having the best time on the planet I can't wait to see them when I get home

 

 

JonandBT: (mike can you bold your text)

 

 

Mike: yes i can bold my text. do you like it better in bold?

i can color it green too

or blue

blue looks good

 

 

Mike: the funny thing about RYU and TAK is that they're both japanese names, even thought neither of the guys are japanese.

i gotta go too. soundcheck.

 

 

JonandBT: flood of goodbyes coming in

 

 

Mike: flood it

 

 

*Shitload of goodbyes*

 

 

Mike: BYE. vote on TRL

 

 

JonandBT: MIKE go

walk out the door

don't be late for the show

 

*MIKE LEAVES* - "mikeshinoda lost connection, left the room"

I havent gotten to ask 1 question yet =(

[4everLP_Shinoda]

Thanx Dave for for posting the chat,I wanted to do it 2 but for some reason I couldn´t do it!:o

I asked them like 2 or 3 questions but only one of them was answered I think.

It was an awesome chat,I laughed a lot when Mike asked Ryu if Cheapshot was drunk and Ryu said yes:p,lmfao.

[UnhingedMouse0]

haha, yeah....np. :o

 

This was REALLY hard to get... there were like a million questions coming in and I had to tyr to match them up. And I could only select one line of text a time and then the lines I was trying to get kept on jumping to the top. And yeah... just SOOOO CONFUSING! Anyway.... anything for my LPF peeps. :thumbsup:

I got to ask Ryu, and although he didn't answer it directly, I got an answer for my question. Yay!

But this was like at 1 am in the morning...but as fate would have it, luckily my teacher for the morning went to Rome for the week so I was able to stay up

so I went to sleep extremely happy after that chat

[Dark Angel]

Damn it! I was going to sit in and watch, but I had to watch my dog just when it was time for them to come on! damn damn damn! And Mike came on too! *cries*

Ah well, I can read it from here, thanks UMO!

[Dark Collision]

My musical influences were the later hip hop like Beastie Boys, Diamond D, Black Sheep
