Isabelle Hammonds: Okayy, first question?
yes, it's boostyy: So, what made you come on Genius? You know, as a user?
Isabelle Hammonds: Well, I had been on here quite a bit before I actually signed up. I was reading the lyrics to some Hamilton songs and I saw that something was spelled wrong. It made me extremely angry. So, I signed up and fixed it. Well, I proposed an edit that I still donât know if itâs been merged or not. Iâll have to go check that out when weâre done here.
yes, it's boostyy: Well, it probably depends on the time thatâs passed since you sent it. If itâs been a long time ago, itâs probably been accepted already.
Isabelle Hammonds: Yeah, youâre probably rightđ
yes, it's boostyy: But, next question. Howâd you become verified? For me, NoNameBoyy just asked me if I wanted to sync my artist account to this one.
Isabelle Hammonds: I applied for verification a little over a month ago after I finished my first album. I still donât know who verified me though. All these other people who got verified are talking about who verified them and giving the person who verified them a shout out, but then thereâs me just sitting here like, âUhhh, canât relate?â
yes, it's boostyy: I mean, we have that in common. Canât relate to your story either, LOL
Isabelle Hammonds: Yeah, I figured as muchđ
yes, it's boostyy: Moving on the next question: Whatâs your favorite style of music? You can probably tell mine from my bio.
Isabelle Hammonds: Or your profile picture, Cartiâs a G, ngl. But ANYWAY⌠Uhhh, I canât choose. I like all kinds of music. Rap, Pop, Country, Broadway, you name it. I just love music. But opera music makes me wanna cry. I will never listen to that willingly. I also try to say away from, as PizzaIzLif3 so perfectly said it, porn rap.
yes, it's boostyy: *cough cough* WAP *cough cough* I can understand why you donât like opera music. Itâs literally like theyâre singing at like 999 hZ.
Isabelle Hammonds: Yeah, exactly. Opera music is bad, ong.
yes, it's boostyy: Alright, next question. What do you think about the Ewok situation? I think itâs pretty complicated, but I kinda understand.
Isabelle Hammonds: What Ewok situation? Iâm kinda lostâŚ
*boost told Isabelle the situation about Ewok*
Isabelle Hammonds: Awhhhh, thatâs sad. He was a legend.
yes, it's boostyy: Yeah. Itâs sad that he quit after too. I think that most of the Genius community knows about him at this point. But, on to a more positive point. Whatâs your biggest inspiration on Genius?
Isabelle Hammonds:My biggest inspiration would have to be ScopeY. Heâs amazing and heâs helped me so much
yes, it's boostyy: Same here. Heâs made the community come together like, so much times, itâs amazing.
Isabelle Hammonds: Couldnât have said it better myself.
yes, it's boostyy: Speaking of ScopeY, whatâs your favorite âGet Involved!â page, and why?
Isabelle Hammonds: Vol. 5 hands down, because itâs the one Iâve been the most involved with. What about you??
yes, it's boostyy: Itâs the same for me. Iâve been involved in Vol. 4 too, though.
Isabelle Hammonds: I joined Genius in late November, so I wasnât really involved in that one.
yes, it's boostyy: Oh, so you joined recently? Didnât know that.
Isabelle Hammonds: Very.
yes, it's boostyy: Very very. Anyways, next question. What your favorite song that youâve made?
Isabelle Hammonds: Worth My Time, Suddenly, or Aphrodite. Or Worship. Worship was my self-righteous track. Some guys see a pretty face and think that they can take advantage of it. I may be young, but Iâm not naive. And as Maggie Lindemann so perfectly says it, âIâm not just a pretty girl.â
yes, it's boostyy: đ , no printer.
Isabelle Hammonds: And I have no idea what that meansđ¤Śđźââď¸ đ
yes, it's boostyy: Fax (Facts), no printer.
Get it?
Isabelle Hammonds Ohhhh, I get it now. Iâm a blonde, so I get a free pass. Or twelveâŚ
yes, it's boostyy: LOL. Next question: Howâs the new quarantine going? Iâm just chillin, honestly.
Isabelle Hammonds: B.O.R.I.N.G. No cap. I live in the country, I donât have a phone, and I live 20 minutes outta town. So⌠yeah.
yes, it's boostyy: Wait- wait, wait, wait, wait, waitâŚ. you donât have a phone?
Isabelle Hammonds: Nope. My parents are meanies. I have to pay for it myself, which I have the money to do. But i have to have a job. And my parents wonât let me get a job until this summer. Itâs embarrassing, I know. Iâm in high school and I donât have a phone. Itâs a real shame, smh
yes, it's boostyy: Eek. Hope you get one soon, because, aheh- gen Z is prolly' THE most reckless generation. đŤ 𧢠. Has anybody called you out on that yet? Because, if not, Iâll be surprised.
Isabelle hammonds: Me too. I like the clever use of emojis, btwđđ¤Śđźââď¸ And, no, not really lol. Everybodyâs really understanding about it.
yes, it's boostyy: Oh, alright. Question next: Do you have anything that youâre working on? I mean, creativity wise. Like, songs and stuff.
Isabelle Hammonds: Maybe⌠Yes. I am. Iâm making a collab album with a few of the users on here. I thought it would be fun. Like an Ed Sheeran type deal, ya know?
yes, it's boostyy: Yeah, thatâs a cool idea. But, at the same time, there have been people whoâve done that already. Like, thereâs the Level Up one, and the cyphers too, but theyâre based on hip hop. And Iâm pretty sure yours is gonna be like any genre.
Isabelle Hammonds: Yup, youâre right on the ball with that one. Any and pretty much every genre
yes, it's boostyy: Even âskaâ?
Isabelle Hammonds: Whatâs that?
yes, it's boostyy: "Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. It combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. Ska is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the off beat." via Wikipedia
Isabelle Hammonds: Ohh, yeah, probably not. Thatâs why I said âpretty muchâ
yes, it's boostyy: Oh. Well, then. Last question: What do you love about Genius in general?
Isabelle Hammonds: The atmosphere, hands down. Everyone is so friendly here. Y'all have become like a second family to me. Youâre all so supportive and kind. Even if you like broccoli (just saying). Thank you all so much for everything youâve done. Not only for me, but for anyone and everyone who is or isnât a part of this wonderful community.
yes, it's boostyy: Alright, thatâs gonna wrap it up! Thank you for letting me ask you some questions! Shoutout to Isabelle, and shoutout to Genius. See you whenever I see you. Peace!
Isabelle Hammonds: Thank you for taking time out of your day to do this. It means a lot.
yes, it's boostyy: No problem!
