December 4th, 2008 by Rodney Carmichael in roll call
For this edition of Roll Call, we call out Thomasan of Proton.
Who are you?
Thomasan; a Chicago born writer, rapper, and producer.
Describe yourself in three words.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Who — dead or alive — would most you like to meet?
Quincy Jones
Who would you most like to slap in the face?
M. Night Shyamalan
What song do you wish you had written?
“The Alphabet Song”
Lil Wayne or Little Richard?
How about Lil Wayne and Little Richard together at an awards presentation. Lil Wayne says to Little Richard, “Pleased to meet you, no homo,” and Little Richard says, “Shut Up!”
LP, CD or MP3?
LP if adding to my collection, CD if in the car, MP3 if on the computer.
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
Vintage ghetto couture
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
I would end the fairly recent “bad is good” music phenomenon. Ignorance is contagious, and equally as infectious.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
How about the models from Italian Vogue’s “All Black” issue?
