Cadence Weapon's Mom Thinks Everyone is Biting His Style

Posted: 17 Sep 2012 02:00 PM PDT

Filed under: , ,


Upper Class

You might not be a fan of Cadence Weapon, but it's hard not to like the real life side of Rollie Pemberton. The Edmonton-born rapper -- once that city's poet laureate -- who recently relocated to Montreal knows all about his hate-it-or-love-it reputation.

"I made my bed for myself, you know? I can't be surprised," he tells Spinner, noting that rappers are already at a disadvantage within the general music landscape. "I make music that is inherently divisive."

His newest record, the newly Polaris Prize short-listed Hope in Dirt City, feels like a response to those detractors. It's Cadence at his most lyrically accessible and relaxed. Production credits are split between himself and some of Canada's fast-rising weirdos, like Doldrums and the LOL Boys. Considering the breadth of references, there's a nice cohesion between early '90s sample-heavy rap aesthetics and organic-sounding arrangements. And it was all intentional, he says, in an effort to be more accessible but without losing himself.

Which film still makes you cry every time?

Posted: 17 Sep 2012 10:22 AM PDT

I mean every single time. E.T used to make me bawl my eyes out when I was little but now I watch it and I'm immune to it, but The Champ will always make me cry like hell. So loudly in fact that the last time I watched it my neighbour came over because he thought I had hurt myself. I'll also point out that at the time I was a black-clad, pierced and angry little metal-head, thus making the whole situation more than a little embarrassing.

Lauren Cohan And Norman Reedus Talk Season 3 Of THE WALKING DEAD; Plus New Photos

Posted: 17 Sep 2012 10:30 AM PDT

Last season during The Walking Dead brought about some big changes. Major characters were killed off through out the season, none bigger than Shane. Series regular Norman Reedus talked with THR about Daryl feeling the pressure of filling the void left behind by Shane as the groups top guardians. "With the turn of how things are going with the apocalypse, he's opening himself up to people and being respected in other ways and finding reasons to fight for certain people and be apart of a group. It's a big deal for him. With Shane being gone, there's more responsibilities, but Daryl doesn't want the responsibility of taking over a group, he's just trying to fit in," he said. Meanwhile series new comer Lauren Cohan said her character Maggie is adjusting to killing Walkers. As you may recall her father, Hershel, was corralling Walkers in his barn because they believed they were
