Q-time with Cilvaringz (non OUATIS version)

[Rev Jones]

The idea is to have people drop questions in here and Ringz can maybe answer the ones he feels.

There's OUATIS threads on here already, so this is for the other stuff.

We'll see if this takes off.


1) WU - Have you ever heard the track Iron Vacation that was gonna be on Supreme Clientele?


2) RAP - Have you ever considered launching a young American artist by doing a collabo album with you providing all beats? Albums with only one producer have been generating a lot of acclaim again in the last few years.


3) CAREER - Do you still manage artists? If so, who?


4) ART - Have you ever pursued other artistic careers (apart from hiphop)?


5) PRODUCTION - How much experience do you personally have using live instrumentation?


6) CONCERTS - Do you occasionally still perform locally? Are you in touch with the Moroccan hiphop scene?


7) LIFE - Do you sometimes still visit Holland? What do you miss most about Holland?


8) CORP - Have you ever met anyone from wucorp IRL?

Yeah I have a legit ? but not sure under which category it would fall...

Being a Christian I cant deny that I felt a ways re some of ur lyrics on "In the Name of Allah"- I dont think it was ur intent to offend and I respect how you were trying to use ur platform to speak for Muslims...

Anyway my ? is have you caught backlash from Christians for those lyrics and if so how did you respond? Thanks for your time if you read and answer the ?
PEACE

Moongod? Is he still one of the best beat makers?

[Cilvaringz]

1) WU - Have you ever heard the track Iron Vacation that was gonna be on Supreme Clientele?
---
Yes. I was at 36 Chambers when the very final songs were being recorded and edited for Supreme Clientele. There's even a version of Ghost Deini with Moongod replaying the Diana Ross piano sample.


2) RAP - Have you ever considered launching a young American artist by doing a collabo album with you providing all beats? Albums with only one producer have been generating a lot of acclaim again in the last few years.
---
No. Nobody ever impressed that much. Plus my beats are pretty much Wu-Tang shit. Nobody but Wu would sound proper on it. Have however considered full albums with Priest or Shabazz or Sin before.


3) CAREER - Do you still manage artists? If so, who?
--
Yes, Moroccan artists. My main artist is MANAL. I'm also working with the group SHAYFEEN. Both are on YouTube, video views in the millions.


4) ART - Have you ever pursued other artistic careers (apart from hiphop)?
--
It's been music for me. I think film is a natural extention.



5) PRODUCTION - How much experience do you personally have using live instrumentation?
--
Absolutely none. I still have a hard time playing piano after using a keyboard for years. It's just not for me.


6) CONCERTS - Do you occasionally still perform locally? Are you in touch with the Moroccan hiphop scene?
--
None whatsoever. I did the world tours, experienced all the fun and travel. But have been a hermit since OUATIS. Moroccan rap scene yes. Shayfeen!


7) LIFE - Do you sometimes still visit Holland? What do you miss most about Holland?
--
Just came back from a 2 month visit. Miss The Efteling the most! I'm a big kid.


8) CORP - Have you ever met anyone from wucorp IRL?
--
Don't think I have. I guess Bronze and Recollectah from Wu-Int. Does that count?

[Cilvaringz]

Moongod? Is he still one of the best beat makers?

He could be. He doesn't make the shit we used to make anymore. Had to force him back into that style when we did the new Lin Brotherz track, but he's definitely on another planet with it.

No, never any backlash. Just tense airport security! By the way, Muslims (normal ones) completely believe and respect Jesus as much as any prophet of God. Don't think we worship another God or think our prophets are better or anything. Jesus, Mary, Joseph are all mentioned in the Quran multiple times. We just don't believe Jesus was the son of God, but rather His prophet. For God begets nor is He begotten. And onto Jesus, like Adam, He said be and he was. Bong bong doodle

[Rev Jones]

thanks for answering everyone's questions! there's some real interesting info in there. I'm gonna check out Manal and Shayfeen on YouTube today.

[Cilvaringz]

You wont like Manal, but you'll dig Shayfeen I think.

Peace Cilvaringz. I have a question yo.
Are you ever going to drop another album? Not a clan album like "OUATIS," but a solo album? An album more so fully produced by yourself, and featuring yourself (although a couple of Wu guests would be alright as well)? Asking because it's been a while since the classic "I," and some new Cilvaringz material would be dope. In fact, it's been so long that it's needed. So what's the word on the next chapter? The next classic? Not even looking for a sequel, just thought that the saga continues (as the new Wu album reiterates).

[num2son]

Did you ever have an Instrumental Beat Series?

Unless I have a sudden injection of inspiration and a bunch of good topics to talk about, I probably wont. It's highly, highly unlikely though. But I appreciate your props!

Mental Chambers 1, 2, 3 and 4!

[hotnikks]

Cilva, do you drink beer like Warcloud? If so Whats your favorite brand?

[JZA/Jordon]

I watched your beat making session on YouTube. What is your current build of hardware/software?

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

Another compilation with those beats you private messaged me? Only this time accessible to public?
