Usual Suspect: Andreas Hale of BET.com

What is your favorite 80s song?
A-Ha “Take On Me” You thought it was some Hip Hop shit? Nope. I still try to hit that note. And don’t front on the video. The comic book to real life transition was AWESOME.

How about the last dream you had?
I was making a beat for somebody but I kept getting weird noises as I was pushing the MPC pads. Horses coughing, fart sounds, burps. It was kinda like the machine Ferris Bueller was using to pretend he was sick. Mind you, I’m no producer but what I was cooking up for some random rapper was dope as hell…until the fart sounds. Don’t know what I ate that night but that’s the last dream I remember.

Worst date you’ve been on?
Damn…had to be freshman year of college. It was a group date and the dudes were all broke. These rich girls we were dating (Rudy Huxtable’s old crew…she don’t remember though) took our broke asses to Benihana. We had to cover up our brokeness by splitting meals between the homies. We were dressed fresh to death but had about $22 between all of us. A noodle here, a piece of fish there…yeah we was some broke ass, foolish looking jackasses. The ladies didn’t find that fly at all. I think they laughed at us for the rest of the school year.

Hands down best internet experience?
Writing an editorial called “Who The Hell Am I: Hip Hop – The New N-Word” during my tenure as EIC of HipHopDX and having the Kansas City Star’s Jason Whitlock get his feathers ruffled by some of the things I said. Emails were exchanged, people took sides and I shut his ass up.
