si FrancisM ang King of Rap

Mula sa dalawang interview kay Gloc-9:

Despite lording it over the current hip-hop scene and earning the respect of critics and casual fans alike, Gloc-9 is not yet ready to be crowned king of the genre.

The 35-year-old insists that the title should always belong to late Pinoy rap pioneer Francis Magalona.

“Walang papalit kay Sir Kiks. Pero I’d like to think din na naipagpatuloy ko kung ano ang ginagawa ni Sir Kiks, (at) ‘yun ay ang maka-inspire,” he told PEP.

Gloc-9 maintains that his entry into the scene was made possible through the Master Rapper’s “inspiration.”

“Ako ay example ng kung paano nakapag-inspire ang mga kanta niya dati,” he said.

It is due to the same that Gloc-9 notes, if he deserves to claim any title it would be that of “Alalay ng Hari” – incidentally also the title of one of his songs.

“Ako po ay alalay lamang,” said he. “Ginagawa ko lang po kung ano ’yung natutunan ko kay Sir Kiks.”

Kaya na ba niyang tanggapin na siya ang susunod na Francis M?

“Honestly, hindi ko po yun iniisip. Dahil out of respect kina Ma’am Pia Magalona and their children, wala pong papalit kay Sir Kiks.

“Ginagawa ko lang po kung ano yung natutunan ko kay Sir Kiks.”

Yung susunod sa yapak ni Francis M, puwede?

“Puwede po! Pero para pumalit, ay iba na po yun!”

Kung si Francis M ay “King of Rap,” puwede na bang bansagan bilang “Prince of Rap” si Gloc-9?

“Meron na po akong title o kanta sa album ko.

“Ang title ng kanya ay ‘Alalay ng Hari,’ so, ako po ay alalay lamang,” nakangiti niyang pahayag.
