my money to get T-Pain on the record and to<br />
do my own situations. I think I slapped myself<br />
in the face by getting tied up with people that<br />
controlled me. I’m trying to reach back and<br />
build my foundation, but I don’t want to take<br />
full responsibility for the situation, although I<br />
should because I involved myself with people<br />
that looked at me as fast food.<br />
Do you think learning those lessons will<br />
make your second album go farther<br />
Yeah. Real talk, if I’m in control of the situation<br />
I feel it will be great. The positive things that<br />
popped off from my album and sales, everything<br />
that was done right was done by me.<br />
Everything done wrong was done by other individuals.<br />
We’ll see. I’m pretty much the underdog<br />
in this situation, but fuck, look at the Cardinals.<br />
Nobody ain’t expect them to be in the Super<br />
Bowl but look, that’s the situation. Nobody<br />
expects me to succeed, even though my last<br />
situation did 45 million digital. I mean, my<br />
album did like 100,000 but I see a gold situation<br />
for Arrogant. I’m always growing as an artist.<br />
Is that why you named the album Arrogant,<br />
because you’re arrogant about the project so<br />
to speak<br />
Yeah, and I named it that because I got called<br />
arrogant so many times in meetings and by<br />
so many people. But I mean, what sucks is I<br />
tell them the real. I give them real examples of<br />
why I’m right and why they fuckin’ wrong. And<br />
they couldn’t ever explain to me why they’re<br />
right and I’m wrong. I got my own reasons<br />
why I want to do things. I came in this shit by<br />
myself, I’m gonna die by myself, so I’m gonna<br />
do this shit the way I want, by myself.<br />
Doesn’t the term “arrogant” kinda have a<br />
negative connotation <br />
I want them to look at the situation like that.<br />
If they say, “Man, that nigga arrogant,” then so<br />
be it. It’s a lot of muthafuckas that walk around<br />
here arrogant or cocky. If I wasn’t feeling myself<br />
I wouldn’t be able to do this shit, I’d be too concerned<br />
about what the next nigga feel about me.<br />
When we talked to you before you mentioned<br />
some of the things you’ve been<br />
through with the law. Do you think the Hip<br />
Hop police read your interviews and keep<br />
track of things you say in the media<br />
If they do, so be it. I don’t care. I’m pretty sure<br />
they do, all my interviews, YouTube videos,<br />
whatever. I’m still on papers so my P.O. may see<br />
some shit and ask me about it, just because I’m<br />
speaking about it in songs or an interview. But<br />
I really ain’t trippin’ on that. If they wanna hit<br />
me with some extra charges, if I did that then<br />
I did that. I know what the deal is before I do<br />
things. Any nigga that’s going into any situation,<br />
if you involved with some niggas and y’all<br />
plottin’ to go get some money together, if you<br />
get caught and the rest of them niggas don’t<br />
get caught, if you wrong you shouldn’t be<br />
snitching on your niggas. That’s why I named<br />
the first album Death Before Dishonor. A lot of<br />
niggas in this shit is flaw.<br />
Since you’ve gone from 2 Pistols in the<br />
streets to 2 Pistols in the music game, how<br />
many people from your past are you able to<br />
still deal with<br />
To be real, I don’t fuck with nobody I used to<br />
fuck with at all. I don’t really have a relationship<br />
with my mother or brother or sister. I can<br />
talk to them and be cool with them, but the<br />
fucked up thing about this shit is when you<br />
get successful, they’re looking at the TV like,<br />
“Well Keyshia Cole bought her mama this. Why<br />
the fuck you ain’t buy me that” Or “Why you<br />
ain’t doing this and that for me” I’m one of<br />
those people that ain’t trying to help nobody<br />
unless they trying to help theyself. If you trying<br />
to get somewhere in life, then I’ll help you to<br />
the fullest. Where I came from I ain’t have shit<br />
and I wanted to establish myself and be the<br />
person I am today. If you don’t have no goals<br />
then I don’t need to be around you.<br />
Why should people purchase your album<br />
when it comes out Times are rough and<br />
people need a good reason to spend $15 on<br />
an album.<br />
Because everybody’s got haters and this Arrogant<br />
shit is a way for you to get over your<br />
haters. Think highly of yourself, let them call<br />
you whatever they gon’ call you, but at the end<br />
of the day, don’t focus on what them niggas<br />
talkin’ about.<br />
What’s the last album you bought<br />
I buy shit all the time, whether it’s Hip Hop or<br />
R&B. I think the last shit I bought was Plies. He’s<br />
someone I can somewhat relate to.<br />
Do you want to give out any contact info or<br />
a website<br />
Niggas can holla at me about some features<br />

advertisements that they was my booking<br />
agent. Them muthafuckas was getting money<br />

didn’t show up. If you want a direct contact to<br />
