Flo Rida is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter who gained fame with his hit single "Low" featuring T-Pain. Born as Tramar Lacel Dillard on September 16, 1979, in Carol City, Florida, Flo Rida began his musical journey early on. His stage name is a combination of his home state Florida and his favorite rapper, the late Notorious B.I.G. One of Flo Rida's notable songs is "Magic," released in 2009.
After ten minutes more, I give up. Gorilla Zoe will tell me he thought I did a good job interviewing Flo Rida, which will make me feel good because (again) Gorilla Zoe is wonderful, but it does not change the fact that talking to Flo Rida for 20 minutes feels like a lifetime. This could be my fault, or his fault, or no one's fault at all. The short-form celebrity interview is a unique, extremely odd social contract—as soon as you switch your recorder on, you essentially get the right to ask a total and complete stranger whatever you want, and they are required to think of semi-detailed answers on the spot. This leads to a lot of bullshitting on both sides, because sometimes the interviewer knows nothing about their subject, and sometimes the celebrity knows nothing about the things they're being asked. If the reporter prods the celebrity in the wrong direction by asking questions that don't make sense, or questions that are too personal, and the subject may close up. Maybe they're having a bad day, or are distracted, and have no interest in talking to you about themselves. Maybe the reporter is awkward, or they make the celebrity feel uncomfortable, or maybe the celebrity just thinks the reporter a dick. Maybe the celebrity has been through rigorous media training, and has been taught to give bite-sized answers that leave no room for follow-up questions but technically provide a comprehensive, if not particularly controversial or interesting, answer to whatever the reporter wanted to know about. Besides, it's not an artist's job to be good at being interviewed, it's their job to be good at making music. Giving smart, insightful interviews may very well make someone care about an artist's music enough to give it a chance, but at the end of the day, an interview with someone like Flo Rida is an entirely fabricated experience. He's supposed to use my questions as an opportunity to promote the stuff he's going to promote, and my job is to get enough color out of him in between his plugs to have an interesting enough article so that someone might click on it and then share it, which will mean in the eyes of my bosses that I did a good job. Both Flo Rida and I understand this subtext innately. It frames the entirety of our interaction.
As I m putting my recorder into my backpack and getting ready to leave, Ty Dolla ign, Flo s fellow Atlantic artist, comes into the room and says hi to him. No one finds this odd or distracting except for me, who cannot stop thinking about the fact that Flo Rida is so boring that people literally fall asleep in his presence.
