REAL HIP HOP SHOW INTERVIEW

TWIN GAMBINO

BIG TWINS (INFAMOUS MOBB)

1/ Hi Twin Gambino...Could you introduce yourself (your Name, crew, city...)

My name is Big Twins a.k.a Twin Gambino, one third of the gods Infamous Mobb IM3 Click coming to you direct from The Infamous Queensbridge Projects!

2/ Could you resume your story, about when and how did you start in the hip hop game?
For us growing up in QB, Life was hard! Everyday was a hustle; day in and day out we did nothing but thug the streets. This was our way of life, ducking the cops and making moves... Until the cops finally caught up to us. After being locked up time after time again, we decided that we were going to switch hustles and begin rapping with our affiliates Prodigy and Havoc of Mobb Deep. Basically 1997 was the year i started rapping and my first song was on Mobb Deep's Hell on Earth, and the rest is history.

3/ What's the story of your name : Big Twins a.k.a. Twin Gambino ?

The Name Big Twins stands for my twin brother, who tragically passed away. It's in memory of him. The name Gambino because I am apart of the Mobb Family, It seemed appropriate. Hence the name Twin Gambino.

4/ I'm one of your fan because your music is really representative of the Real Hip Hop from QB. i know that there is many great talents over there but what were your idols, your references ?
Thank you , much love for being a fan! For me, I never forget where I come from, QB till the death. It's my job to keep it real for them, and then ...of course ...for my fans. "If the Hood love it, then the world gonna love it" -(prodigy) The most Influential idols for me would have of been Mobb Deep, Nas, and Hank Carter.

5/ What the story of IM3 and how did you start in this famous crew ?
Well, basically we all grew up together. G.O.D , Nitty and me where like brothers... The Infamous IM3 really took flight when Godfather came home from doing a bid, we then as 3 made the infamous IM3. Our affiliates and family Mobb Deep pushed us out into the industry.

6/ You started with Mobb Deeb but trought the years, they changed a little bit their music with some differents collaborations and productions. What could you say about the changes in the Rap game for Mobb Deep, Nas and many others...
Music is like a living thing ...it's going to change and grow with time. You have to also take into account that when mobb deep and nas started out when they were all young..with maturity their idea's and music changed also. But the rap game now is alot different, now everybody's a gangster, thug, and hustler.. what?! come to QB .this is REALITY RAP!

7/ I continue to stay a kid who have a dream , to come back in the Golden years and to see the underground success on the commercial Music....What could you say about the Hip Hop in 2007 and what's your vision of the Hip Hop : past, present and future....
Basically.. I hope the past catches up with the future... Back when music was about the music

8/ QB is on the map Actually, Killa Sha drop his album, Cormega with his DVD project, IM3 with His new Album : Reality Rap and you with your Grimey Collection...What could you say to the fans about your releases...
Yeah , alot of talent from QB u kno.. bunch of diamonds in the dirt, but thank you all for supporting real muzik.. Don't worry i got you .. bout to drop that heat, I keep it real for my fans!

9/ All the Tracks got the Queens touch but i know that some producers comes from France. What could you say about the Queens music with some producers like Alchemist and about the French beatmakers ?
Queens producer's like ALC and Havoc are some of the most talented producers out .. the Queens Sound is very hard , grimey and raw! I also like french beat-makers because they use alot of samples that we would use .. their beats are really similar to ours but with a different twist.. It's fire!

10/ Grim Team is also a great Band from France who really represent the grimey attitude... please let us know what do you think about them and what do you think about the french Hip Hop people...
I FUCK WIT GRIME TEAM THEY HAVE HOT BEATS AND GOOD ART WORK AND FIRE VIDEOS. I LOVE THE FRENCH RAPPERS...

11/ I got 2 tracks of you and IM3 on my project KINGS FROM QUEENS : the first is "Flushing to QB" with my man Nut Rageous, the second is "Capital Q". What could you say about these 2 tracks ?
I had alot of fun doing the track with Nut Rageous.. very talented! And Capitol Q is a personal favorite of mine .. it's all fire .. I love making real muzik!

12/ What could you say about the KINGS FROM QUEENS project and do you think that you could be interested to do an exclusive track about you and the Queens on a DJ MODESTY exclusive beat, for a 100% album mixed KINGS FROM QUEENS Volume 2 ?
Of course i'll do it! it's a good look for both of us...u already know I'm down..Lets do it!

13/ I checked the DVD with you and Infamous about QB and i think that it's one of the best video that i have never seen... it talks about the Ghetto reality, the life in QB.... Do you think that it's still dangerous for a person or foreigner to come in the Queens to visit your hood and talk about music ?  
HELL NO...THE FBI SHUT Q.B. DOWN...it's cool now.. but i lived through the worst times in QB so of course I'm going to say that QB is safer now.
