Word is bond like a mutha! Yes it is I the dirty Rwandan Butcher SpaceVein bringing you an exclusive interview with the money making, sh*t talking, obnoxious, b**ch slapping Old Maid Billionaire himself….J-ZONE..coming to you live from his Pimp Palace in Jamaica Queens.

This your fourth album…the guest appearances on the last three were mainly Old Maid Billionaires such as Al-shid and Huggy Bear, now you did a track with King Tee and J-ro, how was it working with them? Cause I know you’re really feelin the west coast.

It was an honor. I been a King tee fan since 1989. He did the St. Ides commercials with Ice Cube back in the day, and those commercials are what made me buy my first 40 oz. , a St. Ides. It was nasty and I never drank beer again, but King T’s albums were classic, as were the J-Ro & Tha Alkoholiks’. I always really dug west coast rap albums, but I love stuff from everywhere. New york, down south, midwest. I wanna work with people from all over…good music is good music.

Huggy Bear has left Old Maid…are you guys still cool with each other? Any plans on recruiting a new member? Bobby Brown is looking for a job you know..

We’re still cool on the personal tip, we just don’t make music anymore. I’m just goin with the flow now. Tell Bobby to get at me!

I was just checking out your site www.zonesite.net and you got these pics of yourself with some new bling..how much did that cost? Cause I went over to Jacob and he didn’t want to make a chain in the mould of a penis, the chain was supposed to drop down to my penis and be my penis.

About $50,000,000. Bitch, I’m rich. Fuck Jacob the jeweler.

Are you still pissed about the race question? Cause I thought you were a mix between Shabba Ranks, Phillipino and Portuguese.

I’m black, but I’m just real light skinned. It wasn’t that I was pissed, it’s just annoying when people spend more time on that than on my music. People would e-mail me links to message boards where it would have like 50 people talking about ‘what color is J-zone?’ as opposed to how wack or dope my shit is. I know it’s can be hard to tell by lookin at me, but people are too caught up in that. I’m proud to be black, but the only color that really matters is green, so buy my album, hahahaha!

So do you plan on touring any time soon to promote the new album,”$ick of Bein Rich”? What would we have to do to get you down here?

I’m doin a lotta spot dates, mainly overseas. I don’t do long tours much, I’m not built for it. But I’ll do what I gotta to promote this album. I wanna get anywhere I can go so get at me.

Whats the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear of South Africa? Except Apartheid…

The minority havin all the power…like a power imbalance.

So what is your opinion on the theory that it’s the hole that counts and not the face?

Depends on if I’m drunk or sober.

If you could f*** any girl in the world who would it be ?…infact name more than one. I’m really feelin Whoopi Goldberg right now, Tawnie Stone and Natalie Portman.

Jessica Alba from Dark Angel. Whew! She’s bad! I see girls in the street coming from the gym and I get that feeling. I like causual chicks. I wanna f*** more girls on the street than actual stars, cause I like chicks that don’t dress up all the time. Athletic chicks are a turn on.

What did you do with your “Pimps Don’t Pay Taxes” paycheck? How much was it?

I bought a new car and trashed my old hooptie thank god. I put that album out independent, so I was gettin checks every 60 days from different people.

At your live shows, how many groupies do you actually get backstage? cause I don’t think underground emcees get any or at least decent looking ones..am I right or wrong ? cause I’d scrap my whole “underground” style just to have the same chicks that Sean Paul has.

It varies. Overseas I get groupies sometimes. Here, not that many. I ain’t fuckin with groupies no more. Look at Kobe Bryant. Some broad will really think I’m rich and cry rape…I don’t need that shit. Money comes first.

Who are the Go-Rilla Pimp$ and when are they cumming out with an album?

Me (as Captan Back$lap, the Tom Jone$ of rap, the 2003 Bobby Brown) and Dick $tallion (aka Black $inatra). A rap and r&b supergroup. We did an album caled “Hotter Than Fishgrease Vol. 1” that never came out. We’re working on another one now. Beats are straight funk, rhymes are straight game. Y’all would hate it, but it’s better than everything out now.

How did you hook up with Al-Shid?

College. I met him at the college radio station back in 1996. We were always cool, but 2 years later when I was working on my album (music for Tu Madre) for my college senior project, I asked him to drop some shit for my album over my beats. The chemistry worked and we been down ever since.

Is Lebrone James media hype or the future of basketball? I heard he sent Kobe some shower gel so that Kobe could avoid all unfortunate accidents involving soap…

He’s got too much hype, but he’s still a great player. In 3 years he’ll be running shit. If he stays levelheaded, he’ll definitely be the future. Kobe fucked up. Then he went trickin and bought his wife a 4 million dollar ring. Stupid ass. He better save that money for his lawyer…and them endorsement deals are out the window.

I was reading your biography and you have been in contact with a lot of huge stars while they were unknown, got any dirty secrets to share?

I don’t think Amil wrote her rhymes back then…I don’t think she does now either.

Tell us something we don’t know about J-Zone?

I gotta take a shit right now, so I hope we’re coming close to wrapping this intervirew up.

So when does pimping stop? Do we see Zone with a wife and kiddies?

Naah. I have a problem trusting people. I couldn’t get married. I don’t like kids younger than 10. I don’t have the patience.

Aids or SARS ??

Common Cold.

Does your grandma like your records? What about your moms?

They like the beats, but they complain I’m too hard on women.

I’m really feelin the beats you’ve dropped for the Eastern Conference cats, especially the stuff for Tame One. How did you first hook up with them? What’s it like working with Cage?

Thanks. I met them in 2000. Mighty Mi called me up after he heard one of my records. Cage did his vocals when I wasn’t there, so I don’t know. He’s was cool though.

When the f*** am I going to see Pimp Palace East on Mtv Cribs? Did you ever see Russel Simmons house? He got this hot wife Kimora!

Kimora. Yeah she’s a fine ass broad. Hopefully they put the palace on there soon. The furniture in my house is real tacky though.

Whats worse, Purist hip hop Backpackers or Busta Rhymes new album?

Purist hiphop backpackers.

So what’s in future for J-zone?

$$$ And more music. In the distant future maybe teach music and be an assistant coach (basketball) at one of the high schools out here too. Maybe even movies. I think I’d be good on screen if you let me improvise.

Any shoutouts?

All the people that support J-zone and to my bank for holding so much money for me.

SWAYZE.
