What do you guys do?  Who are you?  What is Midnight:30?

        

- 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

You guys are some kind of rap group, right?

- 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.

How can I hear some of your music?

-  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 got big boobies and I think that ‘King’ guy is cute.  Is he single?

- 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?????????????

Do you suck, or are you good?

- 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.

I think I saw you guys somewhere before.  Where was that?

- 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.

Why do I exist?

- 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.

What’s ‘Midnight:30’ mean?

- 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.”

Are you guys east coast thugstas, west coast gangstas, or down south hustlas?

- 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.

Why should I care about a rap group I’ve never heard of before?

- 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.

 Why is the DJ’s name ‘gottapoop’?

- 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

Do you think you’re all that?

- 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.

Y’all have a lot of white guys for a rap group.  Whuttup with 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.
