So you just got here
and you don’t know what the heck’s goin’ on.
Fortunately for sukkas in your predicament, we here offer the answers to
all of those questions that we know are plaguing your mind.
All answers have been provided by actual M:3 members so that you know
you’re getting the real deal. Don’t
leave until you’re more confused than when you came in.
- What
do you guys do?
Who are you?
What is Midnight:30?
- You
guys are some kind of rap group, right?
- How
can I hear some of your music?
- I
got big boobies and I think that ‘King’ guy is cute.
Is he single?
- Do
you suck, or are you good?
- I
think I saw you guys somewhere before.
Where was that?
- Why
do I exist?
- What’s
‘Midnight:30’ mean?
- Are
you guys east coast thugstas, west coast gangstas, or down south hustlas?
- Why
should I care about a rap group I’ve never heard of before?
- Why
is the DJ’s name ‘gottapoop’?
- Do
you think you’re all that?
- Y’all
have a lot of white guys for a rap group.
Whuttup with that?
-
I have noticed that sometimes you play with a DJ and sometimes not. Why?
-
Who is the DJ that has performed with you at FSU, Denison University, Trellis
Fest, etc.? I don’t see him on this page.
- Who is
RL? I have never seen him in any shows.
| - |
We are simply a few guys
who have been friends for a long time and share the same passion. The
passion is putting music together strictly for the love of doing it. One
day we could end up as M:3 the mountain bikers -- who knows? |
| - |
Midnight :30 is an eclectic group of friends who grew up
loving music, hip-hop, and the subtle nuances of life. What we do is
entertain — be it musically, poetically, lyrically, artistically, or
prosaically. |
| - |
Emthree is Midnight :30 is M:3 is a six
headed beast that lurks in a dark forest with a huge and sunny field in the
middle. Every day the otherwise confused beast sharpens its fangs in
anticipation of the day when it will dash from the woods and destroy the
overconfident, sinister field dwellers that do wrong in its name. Also,
we’re a bunch of guys who make music and drink forties (often
simultaneously).
|
| - |
WE rap.
I’m Dope Rapper (DR, The Lyrical Lee Majors , Unknown Stuntman). A rap
group. |
| - |
For the answer to
this question, read the section of the web page entitled:
We Be in
Know the Ledge |
| - |
Yes |
| - |
We
indeed rap and are a group. |
| - |
Technically, yes, but in
truth we are something different…something new and exciting. Perhaps when
one first listens to our music they will wonder, “Now that is weird,” or
maybe even think: “Banging, son; banging.” In either case, Midnight :30
produces sounds and rhythmic mixtures of mind enhancing poems which, at a
peak in some distant future, will leave men, women, and children screaming
for more of the ultra-somatic music from six crazy minds. |
| - |
See answer to above
question. |
| - |
In that we rap, yes, we
are a rap group. However, we try not to limit ourselves by labeling Midnight
:30 as a ‘rap group.’ We are entertainers, performers and artists. We are
philosophers, thinkers and revolutionaries. |
| - |
Run into your best
friend from childhood that you haven’t seen in years and have a two hour
conversation with them and then go to the bangin’est club in your area where
everyone wants to dance with you and have the best time of your life and
then think about someone close to you who is dead and cry for a half hour
then chant naked around a bonfire on a beach at night then get beat up by
four large men then sit and have nothing to do for two days then comprehend
infinity then hit your forehead six times into a concrete wall as hard as
you can, then listen hard. |
| - |
Contact us…..we’ll hook
you up. Also, sound bytes available on the ‘Sounds’ page. |
| - |
1) See one of us and say “Can I hear
some of your music?” We’re more than happy to oblige.
2) Line us up to do a live performance
(There usually isn’t a charge).
3) Check out the ‘Sounds’
page. |

I don’t know, but he’ll
make a porn with ya...thats fer sure. |
| - |
I don’t know. Sometimes I can’t figure
it out myself (no more questions like this). Although I do like boobies of
all kinds with a beautiful face and a mixed look, I can’t take it. |
| - |
He’s the Velvet Tiger, and also the
Velveteen Rabbit. What d’you think!? |
| - |
Who
knows????????????? |
| - |
You’re asking the wrong
people — we’re biased. Do I think we’re good? Honestly? Yes — some of our
stuff. Some of it is straight up that next level, you’re gonna love it
stuff. Some of it is like, “Why’d they make this song?” but hey, we’re new.
We’re young. We’re still learning. The best I can say is: check it out. |
| - |
Personally, I am good.
I don’t know about the rest of the group. |
| - |
This is up to individual
interpretation like everything else in the universe, but I like us. |
| - |
We
suck. |
| - |
Maybe that was one of us next to
you on the subway. Or taking your order at the drive thru. Or working in
the cubicle next to you. Or starting that freestyle circle on the corner.
We are everywhere — we are nowhere.
Midnight:30 embodies the ideals, values, tastes, expectations,
desires, thoughts, urges, shortcomings and limitations of the common man.
Yes, we look very familiar — we’re out there all over the place. Deja
vu. |
| - |
Maybe at Jane Frazier Village,
Independence St., 5/5 2nd ID, school; or rocking a live show on
a Georgetown sidewalk, in College Park, or in Cum-Cumberland |
| - |
Probably at the Country Club
Mall, Cumberland, MD. |
| - |
At
the museum in the ‘Underground Hip-Hop’ display right next to the
diorama of Cro-Magnon Man beating on rocks with bones. |
| - |
You exist to
fulfill your role in God’s plan, which is to battle in Armageddon on the
side of the Lord. The problem is your life is spent, without your
knowledge, determining if you will side with the forces of good or the
forces of evil. Every move you make, action you take, and commandment you
break weighs in as you align yourself with the Lord or with man. Choose
wisely. |
| - |
Ahhhhh, the
pleasing sound of mankind’s oldest question.
|
| - |
Figure it out
for yourself, I can’t tell you. |
| - |
To ask the
question “Why do I exist?” |
| - |
To live, enjoy
it. |
| - |
Like you’d believe me if I told you. |
| - |
Twelve-thirty in
the morning. |
| - |
I’m not sure
-- I just got here. The name
came while I was gone. What does it mean? |
| - |
It’s Latin for
‘Rawdadic rap fanatic, down and dirty with mad static.’ |
| - |
“THE NIGHT TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME.” |
| - |
Man, we’re
just us. |
| - |
We’re
east-west bump-rumpin’ straight mack mallin’ busta big-ballers. |
| - |
We are
rap-playa-partners |
| - |
None
of the above. We don’t associate with cliques or hip-hop stereotypes.
We’re Midnight:30. |
| - |
You should if
they’re east-west bump-rumpin’ straight mack mallin’ busta big-ballers. |
| - |
Because I
guarantee at least one of our jams will blow your mind. |
| - |
My people once
said “pay attention and you might accidentally learn something.”
So, pay close attention to us and you may learn some things that
you won’t hear anywhere else in music today.
Outside of M:3, be careful what poison that you put into your
brain/soul via your ears. |
| - |
Why shouldn’t
you? You may be missing out on the bomb ish. |
| - |
One day you will hear of us, so give love and
help us out now. |
| - |
A lot of things
with M:3 go way back. When we
were younger he always had to poop. |
| - |
So the sukkas
sleep. |
| - |
Gottapoop is what he has to do. all day,,.everyday |
| - |
Nah, it ain’t
even like that. But I am some of it -- just ask me. |
| - |
No, I’m just part of it. |
| - |
“No, you think
that I think I’m all that.” -Original
Flava |
| - |
Unfortunately,
yes. We’ve heard what passes for rap these days and we’ve heard what
we got. We’re definitely all that. |
| - |
What?
We have white guys in the group?
|
| - |
M:3 is M:3, if
you don’t like, don’t buy anything that I appear in. |
| - |
I can’t say
for sure, it’s never been an issue with us. The white guys in our group
grew up in the hip-hop era—they aren’t some heavy metalers,
headbangers, deadheads or nothing like that—they are hip-hop as much as
the black members are, as much as anybody is. They rock the mic and our
d.j. is the nicest I’ve ever seen. We’d rather have a couple hype
white members than some mediocre black members just for the sake of having
black members. |
| - |
White people
have money and we need equipment. |
| - |
Skills are what count, not color. |
| - |
Midnight :30 is many
things, the least of which is a hip-hop group. Midnight :30 means different
things to different people, and is able to adapt itself to different
environments. Present times and situations have forced Midnight :30 to
adjust its presentation and/or appearance to appeal to a vast array of
ideologies worldwide. Thus, Midnight :30, like the flowing river, is
constantly in a state of transformation and flux, and is able to take many
different forms. Accordingly, Midnight :30 sometimes appears to have a "DJ,"
while at other times it appears to be "rocking with a band," and may even
seem like it's a "pair of classic Air Jordans." Understand that, no matter
what it appears, Midnight :30 is always Midnight
:30, and sometimes even M:3. |
| - |
Sometimes U feel like a
DJ, sometimes U don’t. |
| - |
Each show is unique.
Each show is also an experiment, to some degree. If there’s one thing we
don’t want to be, it’s predictable. We’ll use any tool at our diposal to be
hype and move the crowd with us. You’ll know we’ve blown up when this
question reads “I’ve noticed you sometimes you play with a full orchestra
and sometimes…” |
| - |
Bustin aka Justin. Also
known as DeeJay:eMCee. He’s a Deejay GottaPoop understudy and the go to guy
in the clutch. He more than deserves a spot on the page – we’re just so
durn lazy, though… |
| - |
The DJ to which you
probably refer is DeeJay:eMCee, aka Bustin, but he is just a fill in for the
real DJ, gottapoop. |
| - |
We have a DJ?
DAMN, I'm never in the loop |
| - |
They don’t invite me.
Im left locked up in a cell, help me...But stay tuned U never know what is
going to happen or what I be doing, check me out in
Charlotte, NC sometime |
| - |
Though not present on
stage, RL is as essential a part of Midnight :30 as SKOOCH, the DR, MC King, the hopes and dreams of young children,
and Sasquatch (of Alpha Flight). |
| - |
RL is the webmasta. He
is also the Rembrandt Lover’sboy, the L Def, and the Galvatron. He’s the
man who maintains the infrastructure of this web page and insures that
you’re always getting the best service possible from emthree dot com. |
