Arcángel
let's talk
fri 7/10/2009
You asked. Arcángel answered.
Does your head ever hurt with all those beautiful braids? (from KALI)
Arcángel: Yes, it hurts for a while when I first get them, but it goes away in about a day.
If you were an animal which one would you be and why? (from ღ→ мяʐ σℓïvσ..)
Arcángel: I would be a lion because he's the king of the jungle.
Hey Arcángel. What's your biggest weakness? (from m_218)
Arcángel: Money is my biggest weakness.
You were born in NY, and raised in PR. Do you think you still wouldve become who you are today if stayed in NY? (from nycjay17)
Arcángel: No, Puerto Rico was like my school, in New York there isn't an opportunity to do the music I do. Whoever wants to make it needs to go to Puerto Rico. It doesn't really matter that I was born in New York. The only reason I was born there was because my mother was there at the time.
Why did you and De La Ghetto decide to go your own ways? (from marley-☆-)
Arcángel: It wasn't because of personal problems between us. It was just a professional decision. We didn't share the same vision. I wanted to get to a certain level faster than he did but I don't have any beef with him.
When you have kids, do you want them to also become entertainers? (from ♥Masiel Peguero♥)
Arcángel: I'm going to support my kids in whatever they want to do in the future. Whatever decision they make, I'm gonna be there for it.
How was it growing up with a famous mom? Especially someone from las Chicas del Can? ( from [FRE$H])
Arcángel: Well, my mom never really exploited her fame like that. But she was my inspiration when I saw the music videos she was in.
Is it not profitable to tour in the U.S. or why is it that reggaetón artists don't tour here that often? (from pimpdaddy4u05)
Arcángel: I go on tour! For example, three months ago I did seven shows in New York and New York City. As few weeks ago we where at the Puerto Rican Day Parade in NY. I did five shows during Fourth of July weekend in Chicago, Miami and Orlando. Add Central America to those dates as well. If other artists aren't touring, it's because they're not popular and they aren't being played on radio or cars on the street.
Was "Por Amar a Ciegas" written from personal experience? ( from -:-LA CHYNA -:-)
Arcángel: It's an experience that everyone goes through.
¿Te duele alguna vez tu cabeza por traer esas bellas trenzitas? (from KALI)
Arcángel: Si, a cada rato cuando me la hago pero al otro día se me va el dolor.
Si fueras un animal, ¿cual serías y porqué? (from ღ→ мяʐ σℓïvσ..)
Arcángel: Si yo fuera un animal fuera un león porque el es el rey de la selva por el piquete que tiene.
¿Cual es tu mayor debilidad? (from m_218)
Arcángel: En verdad el dinero es mi mayor debilidad.
¿Naciste en New York y creciste en Puerto Rico. ¿Crees que serías lo que hoy eres si te hubieras permanecido en New York? (from nycjay17)
Arcángel: No Puerto Rico es mi escuela y NY no hay oportunidad para la música que yo hago, el que quiera pegarse en el mundo tiene que trabajar en la Isla, y como quiera no me importa donde naciera porque nací en NY porque mi mama estaba ahí.
¿Porque dejaste a De La Ghetto y decisdiste seguir tu propio camino? (from marley-☆-)
Arcángel: No fueron por indiferencias personales, simplemente profesionales. No tenia la misma visión; yo quería llegar a un nivel mas rápido pero no tengo nada personal contra el.
¿Cuando tengas hijos, te gustaría que también fueran artistas? ¿Por qué? (from ♥Masiel Peguero♥)
Arcángel: Yo voy apoyar a mis hijos para lo que quieran hacer en el futuro. Cualquier decisión que ellos tomen yo voy estar ahí para lo que sea.
¿Como fue haber crecido con una mama famosa, unas de las Chicas del Can? ( from [FRE$H])
Arcángel: Pues mira mi mama nunca utilizo esas cosas a su favor ella no mezclaba. Pero si fue mi inspiración cuando me enseñaron sus video
canciones de ellas.
¿No te conviene económicamente hacer giras por los Estados Unidos? ¿O porqué es que los artistas de reggaetón no hacen regularmente giras en los EUA? (from pimpdaddy4u05)
Arcángel: Yo hago giras por ejemplo hace tres meses hice siete fechas entre NY y NYC y tan reciente como hace dos semanas hicimos el desfile Puertoriqueño
en NY y hice cinco fechas. El fin de semana de 4 Julio estuve en Chicago, Miami y Orlando y a eso súmale centro América completo. Si otros artistas no están haciendo giras por que no estan pegado y no suena en la radio y lo los carros.
La canción "Por Amar a Ciegas", ¿fue escrita en base a una experiencia personal? ( from -:-LA CHYNA -:-)
Arcángel: En verdad es que esa experiencia le pasa a todo el mundo.
