Rebel Armz brother Hasan Salaam has agreed to a 15 question Q&A interview! so get posting questions! Submit as many questions as you want, try keep them short and straight to the point, once all questions are submitted forum staff will decide upon which questions to use and we will put the interview forward to Hasan Salaam!

* Do you think that 'Muslim Hip-Hop' has a different image to 'Standard Hip-Hop'?

* What do you see as the biggest influence in making good music?

* The minds of the youth are much easier to influence into anything nowadays, what influences them into taking a 'good choice' by following true hip-hop instead of commercial rap?

Do you see similiarities between ideology and religion?

Do you have any non hip-hop musical influences in your life?

When was the last time you did something for the first time? (i used this one in the tech interview but it didnt make cut, i think we would get some interesting answers)

Do you buy alot of music?

Whats your attitude to people who download music "illegaly"?

^ haha first question is too cliche

hate to do this, happened in the other thread but people post questions that have obvious answers. check his twitter, he's constantly posting how he listens to miles davis, coltrane etc..some soulful original jazz.


1. I know you're pretty active in your community - being involved with various organizations and along with being an artist, emcee, and "edutainer" (as Krs would say) i would also consider you an activist. What advice, if any, do you have for people who would like to be directly involved in a strong social or political movement?

Being that you work with community youth organizations, what advice do you most give our youth 'in the struggle' who feel hopeless and trapped?

1) What is your view on commercial Hip Hop and commercial rap artists? and have you thought about it (commercial Hip Hop/Rap) to be the only solution for people in poor conditions to get out and earn money?

2) What is your view on the struggle in the 3rd world? and i mean: Nigeria, Palestine, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan and so on. and do you find similarities between the struggle in the 3rd world with the struggle of the opressed people of USA ?

3) You are what is to be claimed on Wikipedia a deeply spiritual Muslim. How does the religion Islam influence your Music and your life? and have u thought bout practicing the religion if u haven't already? and if not, then why?

Peace

Poor washing machine.

1) Will you be doing more collabos with Lowkey in the future?

2) How do you feel about second(or so on) generation muslim immigrants that "partly" forget their culture and background, and adapts western culture, starts drinking, smoking weed and doing criminalityies, and what can we do to prevent that from happening?

3) Will all the members of the rebel armz ever be going on a tour to europe?

4) Will you be doing any similar songs like "15 minutes"(making fun of something) in the nearest time?

5) Why is it that Tech isnt a muslim (yet)? and if he doesnt want to, why? have u tried to talk him to converting?

What lessons or knowledge can a person gain from your work.

Hey Hasan where do you find the inspiration to write killer songs because some rappers have to be in a "certain mood" to write a certain songs.Because i have heard your lyrics and i am very impressed.How do you lay down your lyrics ?

have you ever felt like you needed to censor your art, just when you think about how much less we pretend to have freedom.

and if you want to get in to politics aand what not

do you think Hezbollah will be able to rally the whole of Lebanon during the next Israeli invasion (if not have happen by the time of interview)
