Interview: The Southside Slashers

By ROBERTA — Jul 5th, 2007

In this interview, I had the chance to have a talk with Murda 1 of The Southside Slashers. Here, he gives us a peek into the men behind the Horrorcore music, made famous by the Insane Clown Posse.

Q: I’ve heard the song “Since I met you” and it kind of reminds me of something by Eminem. The rhymes are similar. Do you ever hear that? Who are you compared to the most?

A: No, I’ve never heard anyone compare us to Eminem. Although I would find it kind of funny if they did. Our rhymes are a lot different than his. Most people tell us that we have an original sound.

Q: “Underage Coochie” might be attacked by parents everywhere, what are your thoughts on that? Is it condoning pedophilia?

A: Actually I would like it to be attacked by parents everywhere. Usually when a group of people stand up to stop something, they only end up making it bigger. As for the second question…. No I wouldn’t personally condone acts of pedophilia. But, depending on the situation, 17 isn’t so bad….

Q: How would you describe your music to people who’ve never heard any horrorcore music before?

A: I couldn’t explain it to someone. Horrorcore is something to be heard, only than could you understand it. Some people will like it, others will hate it with a passion. Everyone has there own tastes.

Q: Is there an artist that you haven’t worked with yet, that you would like to do a collaboration with?

A: I could name alot. I personally would like to do tracks (And shows) with Tech N9ne, Prozak, Joe Bruce and Shaggs, Twiztid, Blaze and ect.

Q: What influences the lyrics on the new tracks?

A: Mostly what I’m feeling at the time. Everything is an influence, from the horror movies that I watch to the current artist that I’m listening to and everyday struggles.

Q: What is the track that you’re most proud of?

A: Hmmm, that’s a tough one. Probably Haterz and I say that because it has had a lot of good reviews.

Q: What track do you think is your “breakout” song? Haterz?

A: At this point, I would probably have to agree. But theres much more flavor to come. We will have some all new songs up soon that will blow that out of the water!

Q. What do you say to haters?

A: They can hate all they want. In the end all there doing is spreading our name to more people. Hate or not, it’s still getting our name known more. Music needs haters, enough said.

Q: Do you garner a lot of attention from fans of ICP and Twiztid?

A: Yes, I would say that most of our fans also listen to ICP, Twiztid and etc. We’re a Horrorcore group but not to be confused with them or others. We have our own style. Just like people who listen to KoRn might also like Nine Inch Nails because they are both in the Metal genre. But they both have their own style.

Q: Any words of wisdom to the fans?

A: Anything is possible!!!
