afrojacks interview

What is AfroJacks?

First off, I’d like to thank you for coming to my mom’s basement to conduct this interview. Excuse the mess, I just had baseball practice. Well, I think Froman Jacks himself said it best, “Froman takes everything you want to see and hear and stuffs it down your throat so you can choke on awesomeness throughout the day. Let it be known.”

Why should people read AfroJacks?

Well then I’d have to ask you this question, “where else can you find a moving picture of Carlton Banks sliding through his kitchen with Mac and his trainer from Mike Tyson’s Punch Out riding on his shoulder?” Where? And also because its better than reading books. TV sucks. And its updated throughout the day.

How did AfroJacks begin?

How did it all begin? Although this question has undoubtedly lingered for as long as humans have walked the Earth, the answer still eludes us.

When did AfroJacks launch?

July 2007, exactly one year after July 2006

What do you enjoy about your blog?

I can search for an image of a retarded transsexual midget fisting a horse to the soundtrack of Skid Row’s ‘Monkey Business’ with a certain degree of legitimacy.

What advice would you have for would be bloggers?

“Have a good time all the time” – Viv Savage

What gadgets can you not live without?

One word…lava lamp. But for school I’d say trapper keepers, my protractor, my compass, the erasable pen and my mechanical pencils. But when I go out with my friends, I need my Skytel pager and my Discman.

Any other anecdotes or information that you would like to cover?

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
