The Great Hip Hop Hoax Page #4

got nothing to do with talent.

If you want to get on a label,

then you just have to be marketable.

With the whole rapping Proclaimers

thing and people laughing at us

still ringing in our ears,

we knew we had to make a big change.

Gav turned to me and said,

"I think I'm going to become

American. " So I sort of laughed

and went, "Oh, yeah, OK."

And he went... he went,

"No, seriously, I think

I'm going to move to London.

I'm going to tell them that I'm

an American rapper from California.

We'll put these fake accents on,

we'll go down,

con the music world and then,

"Pow!" Come clean on Jonathan Ross

and, woo-hoo, we're heroes,

you know?

You can say that out loud, but

it doesn't sound, you know, real.

And I was like, "Listen, man, this is

only going to work if you're American. "

You know, you can't turn up and say,

"I'm Scottish.

"Oh, by the way listen to me rap in this

incredible thick Californian accent. "

He was like,

"Yeah, you're right.

"I'm just going to completely

redesign myself. "

From that point forward, just started

talking with an American accent

and installing the idea

deep into, like,

his subconscious

that he was American.

You got the light

I'm a pyrotechnic

Damn it, I can't get from A to B

Because I'm dyslexic.

We were just the little guys

that had a point to prove.

We had, like,

a nation to stand up for.

The plan was to genuinely

become superstars.

It wasn't really something

that I wanted to do, though.

I felt like I wouldn't feel

right about where I've come from

and my family. There wouldn't be

any integrity there for me.

It would feel shallow and false.

They say your works do no songs

That are straight from the heart

But I'd rather create a pack

That didn't know where to start...

Out of spite, we decided to develop

these characters

and that's when

Silibil n' Brains were really born.

We re-recorded our songs

in American accents,

we spoke to each other every

minute of every day in American.

We decided we had to be

these characters now.

Silibil, Brains,

we both met in the same skate scenes,

punk rock scenes and hip-hop scenes

just back in the day.

- Two LMCs.

- Yeah.

The back story had to be perfected.

We were from San Jacinto,

in California.

We got these layouts

from off the net,

downloads of the street names

and stuff,

so be started memorising areas

that we could have went.

And then our story just

kind of grew from there.

The accent had to be

unquestionably American.

We have to do our own stunts,

which is

probably why he won't see any

skateboarding in our videos.

Oh!

Silibil stuck with me.

I think about syllables
