Fonzworth Bentley Talks Watch The Throne & G.O.O.D. Music



Фонзей поведол что простлушол уже не много контпозицей с обкоменг плостинке про мебелеровоных нигеров не обжедаемой чентвертого еюля о так же скозал не много теплых слов про наш проект (вдруг до обратно возьмут).

EARSTYLE: What do you think separates G.O.O.D. Music from the other labels and Music Groups that are ran by other artists?

FONZWORTH BENTLEY: That’s an excellent question. For one thing, Kanye West is one of the biggest artists in the world. That makes it different, because at the same time he’s making sure and maintaining that he continues at the level that he’s been providing art. To continue to stay at that level it takes a lot of resources and time spent on your own projects. For a collective like G.O.O.D. Music, you want to sign artists that can get out and create their own movements and be able to go from start to finish and deliver a product. You look at the success of Big Sean. Kanye is giving him a platform, but that is Big Sean. Pusha obviously already had a huge foundation and a whole bunch of fans so it’s not like he’s a new act. He’s a new solo act, but that’s a different type of situation. I have a whole bunch of fans, but fans as far as music, that is a completely new genre for me. That’s an interesting space. The music has to speak for itself first. Forget the marketing. The music has to speak for itself. If the music is not good you can market all you want, but it has to start with the music. I think that because my point of view has been very established and people understand the things that are my core values. When they go to listen to my music those things are still there. Not only does it make sense, but also it’s cool and reinforces all of the things that I have been doing thus far in my career.

EARSTYLE: Speaking of Ye, everyone is anticipating this “Watch The Throne” album. Have you heard it yet?

FONZWORTH BENTLEY: I’ve heard some of it. I think I heard like 4 or 5 joints.

EARSTYLE: So is that something that we should be looking forward to coming soon?

FONZWORTH BENTLEY: It doesn’t really matter what I say to that question. Is it coming soon? Who knows? Hopefully. I’m just keeping it real. Hopefully, but you know how that goes. One thing about Ye is that you never know about Kanye’s record until you actually hear it on the CD. He changes it so many times. There’s one particular song that I heard, but I already know that there’s been another artist that has been added to it. When I heard the song I personally couldn’t see where another artist could fit, but who knows where that record is now. You know what I’m saying? That’s why even from me who has ultimate access to that product, I like to remain a fan and I never want to hear all of the records before it comes out. I want to listen to it and appreciate it with everybody else and I can call Ye and give him my opinion the same as if you would call him and give him your opinion. It’s an honest and it’s a fair opinion. With all of the albums, I made it a point not to hear every record. Michael Jackson was a fan that’s why he was able to still perform at that level. Beyonce is a fan; she is a fan of the culture and a fan of the music. That’s why she’s able to perform at the level that she does. That’s just my opinion.
