I first started rapping when I was 13. I choose a really poor name, Meancore. The name was a joke. When I was 15 I was watching a show on the history channel where Nostradaumus predicted the 3rd anti-christ's name would be Matas. So, I decided to change my name to "Madas" (I didn't want the exact same spelling because obviously I don't want to be known as the 3rd anti-christ) to represent my inner war between good and evil. Note: I only put this name in my username because "Core" was already taken. Anyway people were under the wrong impression because Madas backwards spells Sadam. So, I changed my name again. This time I just shortened my original name to "Core". I like Core because it has more than one meaning. It can mean "Hardcore" or it could mean something that goes to the core of your soul.

Not yet. I am currently working on making my comeback and getting a few songs to perform first.

Of course. There are 3 goals when you are underground. 1) beat the competition. 2) Get your lyrics heard. 3) Get signed & make money. I'm no different than anyone else. I want mine.

If it were not for Will Smith, I would be just like every other white teenager holding up a "rap is crap" sign at a Ludacris concert. Will Smith was different. He stayed away from rap stereotypes. But because he didn't cuss and didn't get involved in diss wars, a lot of rap fans looked down on him. So, I didn't want to be exactly like him. I wanted to be a mix of Will Smith, DMX, Eminem (only because I'm white) and Tupac. To be quite honest, I like where I went. I'm not any of those guys. I am my own rapper and I think I have a lot in me that other rappers just-don't-have.
