AlexanderJamesM Hey! First of all, wanted to thank you for taking part in my first interview! masterhype Ayy! No problem, I thought this'd be fun! AlexanderJamesM Same here! We really got to know each other during our time working first together as a team during the Clean-Up Championship, so I felt you would be the best person to interview! masterhype ItS tHa ReMix, dOhJOE! AlexanderJamesM RUSS, please. masterhype Are you calling me Russ? 'Cause that'd be a pleasure 😈. Haha, jokes aside, fire me some questions you got! AlexanderJamesM Not gonna lie, I had no idea who Russ was until we worked on his page in the Clean-Up Championship, so I thought your profile on Genius was actually a picture of you haha. But our first person we did for the championship was actually Joe Jonas. Why do you feel Joe Jonas was the best person for us to start with, and what is the meaning behind the team name "ItS tHa ReMix, dOhJOE!"? masterhype 1 Ooh, well, Joe Jonas was the right play. Not only were we both familiarized with him, but he was also in three different groups. Himself as a solo artist, DNCE, and Jonas Brothers. I took advantage of the IQ we could get, since all the IQ on all three of those artists would go to Joe Jonas. 2 Nicki and Doja are def in my top 3 artists and since they collabed with each other on "Say So (Remix)," I was so hyped. You already know the meaning, but the group name is play-on words with the opening line in the song, and added "JOE" since Joe was our artist lol. You were the one that came up with the "JOE" part!!! 3 Everyone thought that was me LOL, you, dreupdate, I wonder who else. 👀🧐 AlexanderJamesM Definitely! I agree, Joe was a really great artist to start with for all those reasons, plus we both were familiar with his work too as well which I feel helped boost us up more as well! AlexanderJamesM From where we are now in September, looking back on the past year, what do you think your biggest accomplishment on Genius has been in 2020? masterhype Definitely hitting Russ' #1 scholar!! It took about three weeks or a month to reach the goal and worked really hard. I was at 2k IQ before the month started and gained 19k to surpass Russ himself. Thanks for all the upvotes and also to anyone viewing this, because I would've struggled a lot more!! AlexanderJamesM It was so amazing to see myself you be able to complete that accomplishment. It must have been a very exciting moment passing Russ himself for the #1 spot! AlexanderJamesM You mentioned Nicki and Doja are in your top 3 artists. If you had to choose what your favorite Nicki song is and your favorite Doja song is from their discography, what two would you choose and why? masterhype 1 Doja is easy here: Either Cyber Sex, Rules, or Juicy. The reason for "Rules" is because of her excellent second verse, for "Juicy," it's because of the chorus, and for "Cyber Sex" - I really liked the whole song! Plus, at the time, when I was a whitehat, I made a tate that got fifty upvotes and that somehow made me love the song even more lol. 2 For Nicki, this is hard because I listened to EVERY song/verse of hers all the way from 2014 and up. I know her so well that if you said ONE word, I could match any song she used that word in. Hmmmm, I think I'd go with Barbie Tingz, The Way Life Goes (Remix), and Kissing Strangers! "Barbie Tingz" because of the rapping and dissing, "TWLG (Remix)" because of Uzi and the flow, and lastly, "Kissing Strangers" because Joe & Nicki on the same song is incredible. AlexanderJamesM So many great choices! I'm familiar with all of Nicki's music as well, I definitely need to check out more Doja myself though, I've heard some songs but not any of her albums fully, but I definitely plan to soon! AlexanderJamesM Continuing on with music, I would like to ask another music related question. Out of all your favorite artists, which artist (and their music as well) has had the biggest impact on you? You can explain the reasoning behind why if you would like to! masterhype 100% Nicki. Even though Russ is like my spirit animal at this point (Lol), Nicki def inspired me to continue listening to music and even writing my own! Def the best female rapper in the game and inspired me to pursuit into the music realm more! AlexanderJamesM Agreed 💯. Very well said!! AlexanderJamesM Switching gears from music for a minute, we all know 2020 has been a very different and difficult year for so many people. I sometimes feel this question isn't asked enough, but how are you doing? masterhype Really good, actually. Hope you've been doing good as well! AlexanderJamesM Same here, I've been doing pretty good too as well! AlexanderJamesM Looking back on this past year, is there anything new that this year has taught you about yourself? masterhype Not really, but Russ takes about many inspirational subjects and topic, and that gives me wisdom! AlexanderJamesM Having wisdom is definitely important!! AlexanderJamesM My next question has to do with Genius itself! How did you first find out about Genius and if you remember, when did you join, and how long have you been an editor for? masterhype I honestly don't remember, haha, all I know is that I started near the "Slide Around" release (a Nicki feature) and started getting the hang of things! AlexanderJamesM You definitely have, my friend! AlexanderJamesM Most recently, we added a new member to our Clean-Up Championship team, Genius member DreUpdate, which we have been so happy to have joined our team!! What is something new and fresh that DreUpdate brings to the team? masterhype She definitely has a prowess of during things that take time and she takes time for her day to do stuff! She watches interviews when needed, makes custom arts and banner for me and people, and slowly getting the grasp of making really solid tates! AlexanderJamesM I agree completely! So honored to have her as part of the team, and as our friend too as well! We've really all formed such a great friendship! AlexanderJamesM When it comes to new albums or new single releases, how do you listen to new music? I know some people will often stream an album/single before downloading, but is there a certain way you go upon listening to new releases? masterhype Nope! I just stream on Spotify! AlexanderJamesM I definitely feel that's one of the best ways to do it!! AlexanderJamesM When it comes to your transcriptions on Genius, is there one transcription you have done that you are the most proud of? masterhype "WAP" is definitely my best and proudest scribe! As of now, 14 million view are on it and is the #4 most-viewed song all-time!! Not to flex or anything. 😉 AlexanderJamesM OMG yes, definitely something to be proud of!! AlexanderJamesM OK rapid fire time, favorite color? masterhype Naranja! AlexanderJamesM (OMG though, TASTE!!!) we have that color in common cause it's my favorite color and has been since I was a kid. AlexanderJamesM OK, enough about me, cause this interview is all about YOU, one of your favorite years of music? masterhype 2018 and 2020!! AlexanderJamesM Favorite food? masterhype Taco Salad with Doritos! AlexanderJamesM OK, I'm definitely trying that! AlexanderJamesM Favorite actor and actress? masterhype Adam Huber (from Dynasty) and Viola Davis (from How To Get Away From Murder) AlexanderJamesM Favorite cartoon when you were a child? masterhype I don't really know, but I like Impractical Jokers!! Which is literally the opposite from a kid's cartoon lol. AlexanderJamesM i- AlexanderJamesM What's the best dream you ever had? masterhype Meeting Nicki, Doja, Russ, and becoming a music artist! AlexanderJamesM Worst dream you've ever had? masterhype Sleep paralysis! But I snapped out of it! AlexanderJamesM And the last rapid fire question, what is your favorite holiday and why? masterhype Halloween! Who doesn't like Halloween???!! AlexanderJamesM YAS! OK, I lied, now this is the last rapid fire question. Favorite candy!?!? masterhype Lol, I barely eat candy, but Mike & Ike's are fire!!! AlexanderJamesM Yummy!!!!! masterhype Ok, Justin Bieber. AlexanderJamesM PLEASE. Do not remind me of that..... "song"!!!! masterhype 😴 AlexanderJamesM My thoughts exactly! AlexanderJamesM In all seriousness, I really want to thank you for taking the time to be part of my first interview I've ever done on Genius! I'm looking forward to everyone checking out this interview and learning more about you! And I myself am looking forward to seeing you continue to blossom here on Genius! Is there anything else you would like to say before we end the interview? masterhype Thank you, too!! The only thing I need to say is giving shout-outs to people!
