Our homie KFV has been making the rounds on the media tip in support of his new “Love Bites” album, and the gigantic underground tour that he’s wrapping up this week!  This time, the biggest weekly paper in Silicon Valley, The Metro, did a 4 page spread about him!  In it, he details his early days as a rapper in a group called LSP, talks about his “gimmick”, and changing it up over the years, and shows a LOT of love to Juggalos!  He even gave a shout-out to us here at Faygoluvers, and credited us for him getting Twiztid’s attention! Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

He has made fans out of people with very diverse musical tastes—horrorcore, heavy metal, electronic music, techno—but not many hardcore hip-hop fans have embraced him over the years. “I hear the word ‘gimmick’ sometimes,” he admits. “Why? ‘Cause I don’t have a rap costume?” He means the familiar baggy pants, grills and bling, and adds, “To me, that’s the ultimate gimmick, because it’s been done over and over again. There’s a percentage of me that goes, ‘OK, now what’s your excuse for not liking me? I just came out with nothing gimmicky—I just came out with a live band and killed it. Where’s your excuse now?’”
