Damn…they all ripped it…dope song…great beat and lyrics…the video complimented the song well.

If you know me at all, you already know who Hexmurda is. …real talk, my MOM knows who Hexmurda is, and she is a small Jewish lawyer, but she knows me, so she knows him. I feel like he is the taskmaster of Detroit hip hop (which, as you already know, if my most favorite). Almost a year ago now I traveled all the way from the Bay to Detroit to support this asshole when some real shit happened to him, and honestly, it was probably one of the coolest experiences of my life, and that trip, and wanting to be like this dude, prompted me to start this site. He writes, he manages, he murders things, and just in general, he’s kind of a big deal. …check this shit out.

So, first of all. …who the fuck are you, where are you from, and what do you do?

No. First of all, Big Proof & J Dilla FOREVER. Now, I’m Hexmurda from Dietroit, and I manage Guilty Simpson, eLZhi (along w/ JBG), and Black Milk. I also talk a lot of shit.

How long you been, you know, runnin’ Detroit hip hop?

I don’t run shit but my mouth. Let’s get everybody who deserves to eat, eating, and then watch who’s directed to the head of that round table. Then you’ll have an answer to at least half your question.

Who are you currently representing, and what do they have out currently or in the works?

Guilty, eLZhi (along w/ JBG), and Black Milk.

Were currently gearing up for Black Milk’s “Album of the Year”, out on 9.14. My co-d Sean Price landed today to put the finishing touches on the Random Axe LP with Black & Guilt. I think eLZhi is just going to be content with being better than 99.9% of these rap niggas. He’s gonna wait for the smoke to clear, then make it real ugly for these niggas.

Why do you hate. …everything?

What’s there to like about anything? Fuck stuff.

So, I came out to Detroit for the first time for a benefit/show in your honor. …cause some type serious shit happened with you. Wanna speak on it?

I got fucked up – Devil tried to kill me. Pontine stroke. For some inexplicable reason, God saved a nigga, brought back from the point of no return. I’m fucked up, tho. Can’t talk or walk, the whole nine.

Rep for your city. …who are your favorites comin’ out of the D right now? Be they new kids or people who have been around for a while and maybe just haven’t gotten the attention they deserve.

Shit, that’s easy. Guilty Simpson, eLZhi, Danny Brown, King Gordy, Fat Killaz, TrkTrk, Black Milk, Royce Da 5′9″, D12 & Eminem.

You have to know that you have inspired a whole group of people to ‘not give a fuck’ – at least that’s the image they put forth on Twitter. I remember when I first stumbled upon you on Twitter, I put up a picture of me giving the finger to the camera, and a homeboy tweeted me talkin’ about how my photo was ‘Hexmurda style’. …took a look at your avi with the classic middle finger salute up, and let him and you know mine was influenced by my favorite photo of Pac. That’s when we started following each other. …how does it make you feel now that there is an ENDLESS sea of people with middle fingers up in their Twitter pictures (inspired by you) who think you’re the be all end all when it comes to, well, how life is. Clearly, people have come to appreciate your sense of don’t give a fuckness, what are your thoughts on that?

That’s some cool shit – niggas just respecting my reality. You know, sometimes you just gotta say “fuck it”.

How do you feel about the Detroit hip hop scene in general? I feel like there is soooooooo much talent there, but so little recognition. Why do you think that is? Why is Detroit hip hop, which is vastly superior to the hip hop coming out of most regions right now, not getting the same amount of praise/support/etc – even by people IN Detroit?

Because people confuse “rap” with “hip hop”. Rap is hugely popular right now. Hip hop music – not so much. The whole music business is like the movie “Idiocracy”. The dumber the better. Stupid music rules the day, while Detroit is frowned upon like a bunch of useless rocket scientists. But we’ll be here when this planet is all fucked up & they need to know how to make rockets to get to another galaxy.

I’ve had a sneaking suspicion for a while now that you’re going to, you know, murder me. …correct, or?

Watch your fucking back, dog.

So what’s the deal with you now? Are you back on your feet, still recovering, etc? Are you back to work, and if so, what means do you use to do what you do? Clearly the internet. …what else? And how do you use shit like Twitter to your advantage?

Naw, I’m still fucked up. Can’t walk and shit. Only have use of my left hand for typing and shit. Use my blackberry to orchestrate shit and harangue label niggas. Twitter is just a way to let niggas know I’m still here, still popping shit.

You could tell me a cool story about Dilla right now. …that would be dope.

I’m the last muthafucka to hand Dilla a mic state side at the Hollywood HOB, at the end of a Slum Village/Phat Kat show in LA. Nigga went out & did his verse on “Raise It Up”. I had to basically hold his fucking arm the whole show so he didn’t sneak away.

So, musically speaking, who are some of your personal favorites? Both rappers and producers. …even non hip hop shit.

I’m a weird nigga – I actually like my rappers able to rap & my singers able to sing. So of course all the niggas I’m down with, Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, eLZhi, Royce, Danny Brown, TrkTrk, Phat Kat, Fat Ray, FK, Dwele, Big Tone, Nametag, Ketch P, Paradime, Melanie Rutherford, Ms. Monica Blaire, Invincible, Miz Korona, Eminem, Obie Trice, Sean P., Pharoahe Monch, Ras Kass, Bishop Lamont, Talib Kweli, Black Thought, Eric Roberson, can. Producers? Denaun Porter, Wajeed, K. Riggins, Dabrye, Apollo Brown, Quelle, NottzRaw, Alchemist, Pete Rock, Vitamin D, Khrysis, Marco Polo, MoSS, Jake One, 9th Wonder, Just Blaze, DJ Toomp, Emile, DJ Green Lantern, DJ Babu, Evidence, M-Phazes, OhNo, Madlib & DJ Khalil.

Now on to something completely different. …given the name of the site, I’m wondering, whose music do you think is total garbage?

There’s so much garbage out it’s hard to say just one, but me being the nigga I am I gotta keep it 1000. I think Drake is the worst nigga to come out. Just because of his acting past & he was over hyped. Don’t get me wrong, the nigga can rhyme. So could Brian Austin Green. If he won Canadian Idol or some shit I wouldn’t have shit to say. But niggas actin’ like he’s the best nigga doin’ it? Not as long as Royce & eLZhi are breathing. And if niggas are co-signing you as the best rapper – rap. Don’t come out singing with “a smidgen” of auto-tune on the vocal. But that’s what sells now, so I guess the nigga is winning.

Ummmm, do you hate rappers?

Fuck a rapper. 99% of those niggas are professional rhyming liars. I BELIEVE Sigel. I BELIEVE The LOX. I BELIEVE Blood Raw, I BELIEVE Birdman. I BELIEVE Nipsey. I BELIEVE 40 Glocc. I BELIEVE REDD EYEZ. I BELIEVE 50. I BELIEVE Fat Joe. & I BELIEVE IN every nigga I’m down with. Shit changed after that incident w/ Jay-Z & Un.

You’ve been, you know, vocal, to say the least, about the ‘situation’ regarding Slum Village, though you, nor anyone else, has actually said what the situation is. What’s the fucking situation? And, ummmm, tell’em why you mad son.

Man, good luck to T3 & whoever the fuck else is in Slum Village.

Where did the name Hexmurda come from? …cause Imma be perfectly honest, that’s not like, a normal nickname.

I have no fucking idea.

Lastly – what do you want the world, or, you know, at least the dick bags that come to this site, to know about Hexmurda?

Fuck yo life, Black Milk’s AOTY, Sept 14th, with his AOTY release party/the Hexmurda Homecoming Saturday Sept 18th at the world famous historical St. Andrews Hall in Detroit.

Die slow.

P.S. God likes me better than you.

You’re welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it. The realest motherfucker I ever interviewed. …there isn’t much else I can say except you should A. follow him on Twitter here. B. Listen to every word he says cause he is smarter than you. C. Check out his site/blog here. …aaaaannnndddd we’re done. Peace.

…enjoy!

This beat… plus the verbal craziness. . . if all hip hop was this raw, I don’t know what I would fucking do with myself. Enjoy!
