Logic:
This is an interview that Logic recently did for 'HardKnockTV' it lasts for 17 minutes and is with an interviewer who had interviewed him many times. The interview stands out to me as it is very relaxed and appears more like a conversation between 2 friends than a commerical interview. The interview is mainly about his music and how it has progressed. However, the interviewer does ask a few questions about other artists and his personal life to try to create a headline.
The main thing we learnt from researching Logic's interviews is:
- Logic's interview are all videos and a few magazine articles
- All the interviews have no background music in the video
- The interviews last for about ten minutes on average
- The interviews are very informal and relaxed
G-Eazy:
This is G-Eazy's interview, which was uploaded this week by Wild 94.1 radio station. As G-Eazy has only recently gained mainstream exposure the interview consists of his story, how he made it and what he represents more than talking about his music. The interview lasts for twenty minutes, which is more common among radio interviews. G-Eazy's interviews are much more useful than Logic's to us as he is not yet an established artist so his interviews will be our main source of inspiration.
What we learnt from researching G-Eazy's interviews:
- He is hugely loyal to the area he grew up in and does a lot of local radio interviews
- Like Logic, none of his interviews have background music
- G-Eazy's interviews consist of YouTube interviews and magazine articles
- As a newly breaking through artist, his story and who he represents is just as important to discuss in an interview as his music
After researching we decided that doing a conventional video interview and a magazine article will be best as they conform to the Hip-Hop genre the most. We will do our interviews taking inspiration mainly from G-Eazy but also Logic.
