ALL STAR 2011 - Ozone Magazine

names I just mentioned are included too, sotrust me, before we can get out to the rest ofthe world we’ve got to get our house right.The big homie Snoop’s album is finna drop, I’vegot two joints on there. The Game is droppingsome mixtapes, 40 finna drop. So I know for afact the relationship is getting better.What kind of responses did you get fromyour OZONE sex issue interview?(laughs) I still get people hittin’ me about thatissue. A lot of girls are like, “Damn, boy, are youfor real or are you just playin’?” or, “You’re alltalk.” And then the females that really knowme, they were like, “Damn, you just gonna telleverything?”“[rapping] is no differentfrom beinga truck driverthat has to be gonefor weeks at atime. people thinkjust because you’rein entertainment anigga doesn’t havea heart. it’s notlike that at all.”Were your baby mamas mad at you for discussingthe threesome you had with them?Naw, because it’s actually three baby mamasand [that story] only involved two of them. Sothey were all able to keep their little lies up,you know what I’m sayin’? They all pretendedit wasn’t them. So I really got out of that one.Do you have a lot of child support to pay?Three baby mamas?Naw. You only have to pay child support whenyou don’t support your child. You know, I’vebeen making money in this business for awhile. Just because y’all don’t see me doesn’tmean I ain’t being heard.How do you have time to spend with threekids in addition to launching your career?I mean, I’m not going to say it’s not hard. It’shard, but I can’t be selfish because I’m themain supplier of how [my children] eat. Ifthat’s the job I have to do, then that’s the job Ihave to do. It’s no different from being a truckdriver that has to be gone for weeks at a time.Sometimes people think that just becauseyou’re in entertainment that a nigga doesn’thave a heart and all that shit. It’s not like thatat all. It’s just like any other job – people getto see the one side, but y’all don’t get to seethe other side. You can’t judge it until you’rein it. You’ve got to have a lot of good familyand some real understanding parents, and Icommend the mothers of my children, for real.They’re real cool.What else are you working besides music?I was trying to get into this little acting thing.I had a couple opportunities so I’m trying tosee what’s up with that. I can’t really say thatI want to do anything else besides music. Ireally love to do music. If not mine, somebodyelse’s. When opportunities present themselves,I definitely try to take them all. All my skillsrevolve around music. I produce as well. I wantto try to get into TV and film production, as faras scores and stuff like that. I have a lot of differentinterests but it all involves music.Do you have any big features we should belooking out for?I got a song coming out with Terrace Martin,featuring somebody major that’s definitelygonna make a lot of noise. I ain’t gonna saywho it is but it’s one of my homeboys that hada great year in 2010. He had a fantastic yearand I’ve got a record dropping with him. I prayI’m still on the 9th Wonder album.Was “My Ex” sparked by a certain situation?Yeah, I was high. I was way loaded one night.I was lookin’ for my ex-girl and she wouldn’tanswer the fuckin’ phone. Man, I was hot. ButI was so high I was just singin’ “damn, I feel likefuckin’ my ex,” and I’m so loaded that I don’tstop singin’ it once I hang up the phone. So Ifigured out how to play the keys or whateverand made the beat and made the hook andjust talked about how I was feelin’ at that verymoment.What’s your drug of choice?(laughs) Weed. I smoke marijuana, that’s mymain source of ignorance. I love to get high.I used to do the pills a lot but I don’t fuckaround too much no more. I had some wild,wild experiences off the pills. I got to a pointwhere I got to chill out on certain shit. I’m alittle older now, you know what I’m sayin’?How can people get in touch with you?Hit me on that Twitter.com/ItsAProblem.
