Getting Interiewed by VICE in 40 minutes

Postby Masato » Mon May 11, 2015 12:25 pm

Hey all

in 40 mins the Latin/Spanish version of VICE/Fightland magazine is Skyping me for an interview about Masato Toys. Apparently 1 writer there has been assigned to an 'MMA and ART' column and she picked me for her latest article. Apparently if it goes well it may be re-printed in the english/US version but who knows

I have never done an interview like this before. I didn't prepare nothin, I plan to smoke a huge J and just try to be natural/wing it. Not sure if that's smart or not.

I'll tell ya how it goes.

I think this is the site:

Let us know when it is posted. Google translate should be enough for me maybe.

Did you do the skype in the mask?

You should Skype in the mask. I have done a skype interview before and its not as awkward as you would imagine. Do some small talk and make a joke about how the weather is shitty and it will then just feel like a conversation. Not sure about smoking a J, I feel like that would make me not as sharp, but if it helps you then go for it.

Hey - it went well. We talked for over an hour

She never asked for a video call, just audio so no mask... but I'm warming up to the idea of doing more stunts with it if it comes :D


Interviewer was super interesting, she is a pro fighter from Mexico, going to Brazil in June for some kind of title fight (I'll try to get event details).

She is also an artist, and obviously a writer for the mag.


Sometimes I catch myself bummin that I didn't say this or that, but I let it go pretty easy. Plenty was said.

I focused a lot on my 'Creative Activism/Revolution' ideas, and she was down for it/agreed.

I trust her to write a good piece, she was cool. If it goes well MAYBE they'll print an english version but who knows.

I also got a freak email this morning from a cousin in Holland connecting me out of the blue with some bigwig in the Euro-Movie industry about the screenplays I wrote.



Those Kitsune mofos must be workin' overtime :D :D

I remember Maestro Fresh Wes did an outdoor concert in Toronto, and was trying to divide the crowd into 905s and 416s

Sadly, it worked.

Good for you man. Def post the interview when you receive a copy/link. Vice is cool other than the fact they had Anonymous FBI snitch Sabu at one of their parties somewhat recently.

Why do you think it is sad?

Yeah fuck those 416 punks acting like their shit don't stink and they're better than me.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
