Where are you from?

Im  from Worcester, Mass aka Wartown.  I lived in NJ for 2 yrs when I was a young buck. That shit was wild!

 

What made you get into Hip Hop?

Well I used to be a nasty break dancer in my youth. I used to listen to all the classic's man. i.e.: Whodini,Grand master, Furious 5, BDP, Big Daddy Kane, MC Lyte, Giz, Bizmark, Cool G. Rap & Polo.... But the person that sparked my desire to rap was the Godfather: Rakim!   "After 12, im like a gremlin.. Feed me HipHop & I start trembling".... 

 

How long have you been rapping?

I been writing and rapping since a sophomore in high school(1992).. I started rapping so people can hear it, like 2-3 yrs ago. I guess my ears wouldn't let me believe that I wasn't that bad...

 

What are your feelings on the current status of Hip Hop Culture?

It's toooooooo watered down!!  Is it still called hiphop?  It should just be called battle music now.. There's nothing wrong with a healthy beef every now and again..Shit, I like to fight, I just hate to argue..! But damn, all niggas do is rap about what they are never going to do to the next nigga!!  Namean.. If you got beef, come see me and we'll throw dogs! If not..Fuk off.. Imma make some music peeps can feel!

 

I remember there was "Rappers and Headbangers" Now the headbangers have turned into rappers! All ya'll former Metallica t-shirt wearin mofo's know who you are! Chameleons!  These are the catz that will sit there and try and tell you about rap! And who's hot or not in  the hiphop culture! Pleeease!!  Fuk outta my face!

 

WHo was that last cat that came out? I think it was a white dude with an afro american wave brush in his hand, in his video.. What was his name? LOL!! I couldnt believe it! Times have changed... Be yourself young folks..You'll last longer!

 

How different is Hip Hop now compared to 20 years ago?

Back then hiphop was about partying, friends, good and bad times, tagging...It was about niggas in the projects coming together and jammin, breakdancing and all that...It was a way out..

  Now these knuckle head nicca's rap about selling drugs, squeezing triggers, and getting ass without effort..  I've done all 3 of those things..I dont need to glorify it though.. I beat plenty of dude asses, but I dont walk around ice grillin every cat I think looks suspect..namean.

Lotta fakers now-a-days.. Everybody rappin..I think my Grandma got a project dropping next tuesday...   I try to stay away from rapping about guns and shit like that..Unless im doing a collabo and it calls for it....I like to rap about pussy & the females that carry them.....LOL!   Rap has changed ALOT...Imagine Kwame try to drop his Polka dot thing right now! LOL...He'd be on channel 5 news being labeled by the media as a homo... WHy? Cuz the media has a control over rap aswell.. Im sorry but white america has made 50 cent

the Icon of Hip Hop! WHen the slurring nigga aint even all that..!! All these "hard catz" that are trying to rap are amazed by 50 cuz they know nothing about what he's talking about... He aint saying nothing new..He aint scaring anybody!! If it wasnt for Dre! Maaaan!!   

Hip Hop is The Roots & Black Thought!! Thats HIPHOP!!  Them catz have a good balance of eything in they music..Hiphop is not gangster,  it's about skillz! Used to be anywayz...

 

What direction would you like to see the culture move in?

It should go back to real HIPHOP.. Stop the beef's over nothing and make music.. Teach the youth how to get out of the ghetto, rather than glorifying illegal ways to get rich in it...

HIphop is in Gangster mode..Guns,drugs & bitches..  A bitch is a bitch, but the guns and drugs can be left alone...Feel me. 

 

Do you have any Projects in the works? What should your fans expect in the next year?

im getting married on July 30th 2005.. SO once thats done, I'll be preparing a 12-15 track demo/mixtape joint.  It's half done now. Im in the lab as we speak!!  I got a bunch of collabos in the works as well.. I'll be lining up shows again too...

 

Where can we buy or listen to your music?

Right now..you would have to email me..  Dobermansquad@yahoo.com

 

What is your definition of Freedom?

I dont know..I've never been free.. When I try to smoke on some God grown green herb's, the Jake's come Hawking!!

 When the Government makes money off of things..Then you are free to do those things..! If they aint making any doe off of whatever your doing then it's illegal and you can be imprisoned! That aint freedom.. Freedom died in America as soon as Bitch ass Chris Columbus stepped foot on it!  Fuck if  I offended you! Anybody that doesn’t like that statement...Come See Me!

 

Who is your favorite Mcee?

Black Thought from the Roots. Next is Mos Def...

 

Do you have any shouts outs or last comments for the reader?

Yeah, I'd like to shout out The Doberman Squad niggas! My wifey to be!  That Squad and that Queen HOLD ME DOWN!!  Big up to them D.O.G. niggas!  and Big ups to Zaria R., she's my resurrection!!
