Our Interview with Daniel Dahmer

Throughout the history of popular music there has been galvanizing events that have defined a sound, style and generation.

• Whether it was Elvis shaking his hips
• The Beatles landing in America
• Woodstock
• The punk scene
• Michael Jackson Moon Walking
• NWA being embraced by white suburban teens
• The Nirvana Smells like Teen Spirit video
• Or the birth of Justin Bieber

Every so often someone catches lightning in a bottle and turns the collective consciousness on its ear by kicking it in its asshole.

Detroit's Daniel Dahmer aka The SWAG OVERLORD aka Merle SWAGGARD is that man for these times.

We recently sat down with Daniel Dahmer to discuss his music, his career, his loves, and his life.

SYFFAL: Who the Fuck are you and how did you get so fly?

Daniel Dahmer: I am Daniel fucking Dahmer (Yes Jeffrey Dahmer's nephew) BUT I was swagged the Fuck out by Mr. Ted Bundy. Did I mention all the Bitches love me because I look like the Bride of Chucky??? YES, I am a fucking doll. Swag up 100 in my Fanny Pack and Snapback and I'm still yelling Fuck the police like its 1988.Im fucking Bout it Bout it (to you it may be 2011 but in my mind its 1996)

SYFFAL: That makes sense. I notice that you are quite fond of the Charlotte Hornets and fanny packs, if I knocked up Grand-mama and we gave birth to a charlotte hornets fanny pack would you pay more for it or less for it than the cost of a healthy white baby on the black market?

Daniel Dahmer: I would pay more for that for sure I think it could go well with my Charlotte Hornets Starter Jacket swag that I just robbed a 5th grader for at the bus stop...Although that Fanny pack I am rocking I only paid a buck 80 for at the thrift village and I can store all types of cool accessories in it such as Chapstick, weed, papers and of course my AK47 ...if I had the baby off the black market I would probably just have a satanic ritual with it or some shit like that ( I am trying to get out of that cult shit)

SYFFAL: You are very nurturing. So, you are part of this new swag hop movement. How is it different from regular hip hop that 35 year old white dudes like? Less boring though accurate is not an acceptable answer.

Daniel Dahmer: Well besides the fact that we swag heavy and they have no swag our shit is more unique. A lot of these cats like to blame swag artist for killing hip hop when really it is their own fans who killed it. shit if they're fans supported them and bought their records then they can't blame guys like Soulja Boy for selling records. Those same cats hate on rappers with dances to their songs but they fail to realize that hip hop started with break dancing so in the end they are just bitter old men pissed at the youth. shit besides that we are just kids having fun with our music while they take everything way to serious

SYFFAL: We take it serious because we are old. Would you let Bushwick Bill watch you shower if it helped him get off?

Daniel Dahmer: As long as he don't rob me for my bag of candy on Halloween

SYFFAL: He is Bushwick Bill so I think that is implied. You drip swag; it oozes and leaves puddles behind. if I was to bottle this viscous liquid and sell it as the following what would you call each item:

A soda (or pop for you Midwestern folks who don't understand real English)

Daniel Dahmer: Space Jam Juice (would have to be lime tinted like a sprite here say and it is already bought with codeine in the mix) that will put your swag up 100

SYFFAL: A shower gel

Daniel Dahmer: Swagger overload on mah dick gel (all the bitches would flock to your dick when you wear it. Fuck AXE BUY MY shit)

SYFFAL: Aerosol cooking spray

Daniel Dahmer: (I think that this may be hazardous while cooking with way to much swag may be flammable)

SYFFAL: Cheap cologne

Daniel Dahmer: Swag-neto spray (although it would be cheap here say anything I make or do is swagged up so bitches will flock to you when you wear it either way)

SYFFAL: Expensive cologne

Daniel Dahmer: Au Fr'ence dio Swag' Parfume

SYFFAL: Liquor

Daniel Dahmer: Fuck Jim Beam or Jack Daniels it would clearly be something with way more swagger like "DANIEL DAHMER"

SYFFAL: I could get drunk on that (yes that is code). Your style is hard to pin point. If you had to imagine it coming from a key party where the influences got together had lots of coke fueled unprotected sex to make the baby that is your style, who would be involved and who would be putting what into whom.

Daniel Dahmer: Hmmmmm good one... I would say Eazy E and the 2 Live crew took pimpin' skills from Too short and Raped Eminem while infesting him with a AIDS spitting tongue and all these Artist went to church on the Sunday after to praise the almighty BASED GOD...Oh yeah after that Happened Lady Gaga and Marilyn Manson had a bastard child who got in that Fuck somewhere along the lines too.

SYFFAL: I think it was right after the Armenian Pastry Sheet. I am considering naming one of my balls after you, which one should I name and why?

Daniel Dahmer: I think the Right one would be cool as long as he had a right hook like Rocky that way he can right hook my hoes when they don't come correct with my cash

SYFFAL: My left ball is jealous. The area you filmed the video for SWAG OVERLOAD is the coolest looking block ever, where the Fuck is that and does Willie Wonka live there?

Daniel Dahmer: I must agree about that block being the coolest looking neighborhood I want to buy it one day and move the whole swag community there so we can all just OD on swag together. I filmed that within the heart of Detroit in the Heidelberg Projects

SYFFAL: Sounds like a classy joint. If you could create a Mount Rushmore of swag hop artists, you would obviously be the Teddy Roosevelt of the game, who would be the Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln

Daniel Dahmer: No doubt Teddy Roosevelt is a good choice my pal. I would take Lil B to be Washington, Jefferson would be TKO Capone and Lincoln would have to be RiFF RAFF SODMG

SYFFAL: Well played. Anything you would like to promote?

Daniel Dahmer: Be on the Lookout for my new mix tape dropping in November "D-Generation Next" also I got the "FREEKY TALES" E.P dropping in October.
