Okay...this isnt a question but I get a lot of questions about stuff so this is how I'll answer them....
I interview rappers and other musicians through school. I go to UNC-W and they get intouch with them and then let me know and then I fly and go interview them. I've interviewed Common, Nas, TI, Apathy, and about 4 or 5 underground rappers. I also interview some rock, indie, and punk bands as well, but I rather be strickly hip hop. Nas was great, except pretty cocky but I expected that. Common was amazing and sexy. TI was interesting. Im not a TI fan but I had to interview him anyways.
I wanna work for Rolling Stone. People ask why but its cuz they dont have a good hip hop section. Their views are biased. Everyone says why not a hip hop magazine? Cuz I dont wanna be just another hip hop write in a hip hop magazine. I wanna be THE hip hop writer in a music magazine. Someday I hope to start my own magazine.So I hope I answered some of your questions but if you have anymore lemme know

Nas just was answering questions like he was the best. And I brought up how a lot of people's favorite album is Illmatic and he responded with something like "Well I do what I do and I do it better than anyone else, so can you blame them for liking it?" and i was like hmm okay...but he also had girls callin his phone all through the interview, I was like umm can you just put in on silent for like 30 minutes? Thats all Im asking for lol

Well since Im writing the articles for school I cant ask any questions that might offend the artist, so I kinda just stick to the basics like why did you start rapping?, who inspired you?, what were some struggles along the way? things of that nature...most shocking answer I got was a rapper from Cali named Kaptive said he started rapping cuz of the pussy, he thought girls would like him more if he was a rapper? LOL

Errr, thanks for the pre-emptive answers to the questions I was not preparing to ask of you (I think)?
I do like the concept of forcing Rolling Stone to change it's views and agree that they are almost childish in their refusal to accept the musical population and bias that modern hip-hop holds in the current scene, and also the huge impact it had on rock in the birth of modern rock in the 60's & 70's (when often early punks and breakers were one crowd/club scene - particularly in musically influential areas such as the Bronx and later Paris, then the UK). Your journalistic skills are obviously good as you can make a reasonable argument and influence from very little (as with all respect, you had no question to begin with so as a journalistic excercise, you performed well) and I'm sure you'll do well. Consider an article about the birth, merging and seperation of rock & early hip-hop as a centerpiece for a submission to them, they'll probably take kindly to their percieved relevance.
Good luck

It will depend on whether or not they care or now not. It appears like you have come commonly into touch with the sort which at the same time hate organised faith and desire to make individuals come to be atheist with just about devout extra- they make up the VERY vocal minority on nameless message forums. Most atheists aren't in anyway willing to transform individuals- they've separately determined, after cautious weighing up of the data, that a deity/ies don't exist (in all likelihood). They do not deliver a rattling approximately what you suppose- good except you insult all atheists or suchlike. Also, I doubt that you simply could see an "shrewd query" coming from an atheist- what atheist could think that an shrewd query could contain the Bible, or could truthfully desire to invite you, a Christian (I count on), a query approximately faith? And except- do not you suppose that you are and an atheists perspectives on what construes an shrewd query could entail?
