Random Interview with Mike Swift

I was there, the first Araneta Dreams created by sir Mike Swift, i did along with

my sister support that dream, i also write a review of that event

it was dope, it was adventurous, fearless, and can be a bit risky but it is what it is.

It's a dream by one guy who has a big faith in local hiphop, a dream that local fans shared too

and this year Road to Araneta is coming again,

i was able to talk with sir Mike Swift, so what have we discuss?

read below:

-------------------------------------

PHS: What's up sir? whats new?

Mike Swift: Series of many things. Ever since i came into this game,
i had been consistent with newness

PHS: i can see that your busy with something too... can you tell about us about it?

Mike Swift: Latest is the R2A 2015 journey. I basically put together a self made tour with the agenda of bringing awareness to the world about our April 9 Araneta Dreams project.

PHS: Speaking of R2A ngayon lang kita matatanong about the first R2A that happen a year ago? i have my own review of that event, pero para sayo, how was it?
do you think it went perfect? meron ka bang plano that day that didn't take place? do you have any other surprise that didn't happen?

Mike Swift: Everything went PERFECT!

PHS: is there's anything you need to improve from that first one? and what can we expect from this year april 9?

Mike Swift: We are going to improve on every aspect of our presentation. One thing you can expect...... SURPRISES!

PHS: do you think that this year can be better than the first one? do you think there's still
momentum in hiphop? or do u think it's declining

Mike Swift: I think we lost momentum on 2014 because of the many culture vultures that arrived with intentions to exploit the hotness of our hardwork. That mixed with thirsty artists who were willing to be fooled, we fell back a step or two. But i can guarantee you a fired up and active 2015 for hiphop ignited by this R2A plan that is sure to shake up not only the pinoy hiphop scene, but to tremble the world.

PHS: sa sariling mong opinion sir although hiphop is getting some airwaves nowadays what else does Pinoy hiphop need?

Mike Swift: A make over! An international na local mover and shaker, more skilled warriors, a lesson in dignity and ethics, and a miracle! Hotter songs! We need that for sure.

PHS: Do you think we need foreign acts? does that snoop and em a teaser or a preview of something or a dream?

Mike Swift: A dream preview of a dream come true - i would love to have foreign acts, so they can open up for us in Araneta Dreams.

PHS: but like your stats a day ago, do you think they will just eat our artist, do we need them for our leverage?

Mike Swift: we can not afford them anyway, and if we can, i really would rather that money go to our locals, para naman madagdagan ang belief pa natin sa mga sarili natin at makagawa pa ng mga bagong projects na makakatulong sa pagunlad ng sariling atin!

PHS: i would agree to that sir. So with better songs, and better artist, what else do we need?
how do you think pinoys would make hiphop stronger, and ano pa kaya ang nakita natin sa R2A na di pa natin napapakita in this coming April 9

Mike Swift: Halos lahat surprises upon surprises. I suggest for no one to blink.

PHS: to wrap this up sir... give your message to your supporters and promote what it is to promote

Mike Swift: THE COLISEUM (Araneta Dreams 2015) , enough said.

PHS: Lastly give your shoutouts

Mike Swift: Shout out to the universe! I know god's listening.

PHS: Thank you sir

ARANETA DREAMS (HITS AND MISSES)

LIVE PERFORMANCE: (HIT) for me lahat ng live performances were good, i didnt see anything wrong or anything lacking, being a fan boy na nakapakinig na ng Rap noon pa all those performances were a blast from the past, Death threat performed "Gusto kong bumaet", Urban Flow performed their hit songs as well and every artist their best hits. There are some notable performances that connects to the fans the most, ofcourse theres a crowd favorite Abra, Ron Henley with "Biglang liko", Juan thugs with "Momay", the collaboration of MC's in "True MC" track, BNK with Pow Chavez is a good one as well specially those white tuxedos Daym!!!

SPECIAL GUEST: (HIT) marami rami ring special guest like Ogie Alcasid who started nicely medyo kagulat din un, Jay-R, Young JV, Juan Thugs, and mga international artists like Ruby Ibarra, Nump Trump, Xienhow and others.

VENUE(...) the venue is cool, the venue is a big shoe to fill pero if you can make it, thats history, sadly hindi napuno ang araneta, im not so sure if people have no money, or have no faith that we can fill Araneta, or maybe since you can check everything that happens online.im not so sure...

SUNUGAN BATTLE ROYAL(HIT) 30'k as a prize who doesn't wanna win that right, it started like rumble were in every participants were on stage, ang labanan ay by 3 or 4 for 2 rounds. Apekz won the battle and hell yeah it was a good one.

PROMOTION(HIT) i've been promoting araneta dreams since day 1 sadly i also lack at most times specially nagkaroon ng mga hussle sa schedule or pagiging online, but i think everybody who participated in this years ARANETA DREAMS do what they do in promoting this event, i hope i did better in helping them out, but i think i can do better and if theres next time i will do my very best.

FANS(MISS) sadly ill be honest im abit disappointed with fans this time, not only we didnt fill up Araneta, most fans are not so supportive, maybe because most of them are new school, maybe dahil di pa bukas ang pananaw nila sa music as a whole, some dont appreciate old school music, some dont appreciate sir Freddy Aguilar's extraordinary talent, or Greyhoundz type of music, i can blame them maybe they were not prepare for it. Kunsabagay it's a experiment by sir Mike Swift, for me it's really a good attempt, hope fans will be more musically educated, i think it's also a part of my job to educate them as well.

but just like what sir Mike Swift told us, those empty seats means a challenge,
that they should do more next time and that theres room for improvement that needs to fill.

MANILA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA(HIT): Orchestra + Rap doesn't sounds a good combination right but IT IS! one of the good attempt in this night is to mix the Orchestra and Rap music, the way the live performances and the final Battle Royal was performed with the MPO was special in its own way.

MUSIC(HIT): ofcourse its a hit not being bias or anything, Araneta Dreams is a mix of not just Rap and Hiphop music but an OPM Music as a whole, this just proves that Pinoy Hiphop is still alive and even stronger this year. it's kinda hard to imagine Listening to Freddy Aquilar, Greyhoundz, Manila Philharmonic Orchestra in a Hiphop Night but it happened and the experiment seems a good one.

BATAS VS SWAVE SEVAH/LOONIE VS DIZASTER (HIT): Might be the biggest draw in the evening, entrance palang everybody seems to be excited kung papano babab:uyin ni batas si swave sevah and how clever and funny lines will come out with Loonies mind, this is no ordinary match for both Batas and Loonie as Swave Sevah and Dizaster are known to be as hard hitter as well.

THE PROPOSAL (HIT): Might not be hiphop related what so ever but definitely one of the biggest surprise of the evening when sir Mike Swift propose to her girlfriend Naz, the end of the show, Hell yeah make the most out of the moment and make the venue even more special. :D

sir Mike once said that this is just the first Araneta Dreams hoping and planning to make it an annual event,
the night end up with a track of sir Francis M. "Kaleidoscope World" and from here my friends.

WE MADE HISTORY!!!
