read this interview and decide if they've lost it, BTW P must be on crack, wuth the shit he be sayin

Quote

Your signing to G Unit seemed to catch everyone off guard. How did that happen?

Prodigy: 50 Cent heard that we were free agents. He called Hav like, "Yo, what's up? I'm f***ing with y'all. Let's do it."

After seven albums being self-contained, by joining G Unit are you admitting that maybe, your way wasn't working anymore?

Havoc: Nah, not at all. The way we were doing it always worked. It was just the record companies were f***ing up. Now we have a better platform.

50 recently said he's picking all the beats for your upcoming album. Is that true?

H: He sends beats to us. If we don't like it, we always got our opinions. But he's got such a good ear that every track he picks is right, so it's all good. I'm still producing somewhere close to half the album.

Did you sign an artist deal?

H: Nah, not like a regular deal. We got a lot of perks. We got more points than any artist ever got to this day, so it's a real good deal.

Perks? Give me a few examples of these perks.

P: We got Porsches.
H: Top of the line. I got a GT3 that's nonrecoupable.

So, I guess it didn't bother you that on "Piggy Bank" 50 said to Jadakiss, "I'll do your little a** like Jay did Mobb Deep?"

H: Nope
P: When he said that line, he was just talking about what really happened. At Summer Jam, Jay-Z put up a picture of me when I was a little kid in my grandmother's dance school. We're all bigger than Jay now.

Similar to Ja Rule's R.U.L.E., Amerikaz Nightmare had it's fans, but it didn't achieve commercial success. Were you worried that your time might have pa**ed?

H: The difference with Ja Rule is people were tired of him. We came out with a good record, but the record company wasn't getting it to the fans.

Speaking of Ja Rule, 50 is known for his beefs. Will it be a problem for you to work with people he's beefing with?

H: I'm a producer, bottom line. Nobody can tell me what I can and can't do as far as me being creative. And 50 is not even like that at all. But, I will say that I'm down for my team, and I ain't trying to start no friction.

Havoc produced "Don't Need Your Love" on The Documentary. And P, you did "Dead Bodies"on the Alchemist's album with Game. Will you continue to work with him in the future?

P: If Fif tells me, "Yo don't give that nigga no verses," them niggas ain't getting no verses, man. It's not gonna stop my money, 'cause I'll get money from somewhere else. I'll be like All right, cool. What verse can I do? That's where I'm gonna get money from, then.

It doesn't matter that someone has a say in your music relationships?

P: Hell no. He made me rich.

How does your G Unit affiliation affect your relationship with Nas?

P: Who that? You're talking about Milkshake? He's not in the picture no more. He left the radar.

Is Big Noyd going to be involved with your new album, Blood Money?

P: Once Mobb Deep gets an album out and goes on tour and our album is selling, then we'll start thinking about different artists. But right now, we're not really worried about nobody else but Mobb Deep.

There was a controversy earlier this year with your former manager Littles, saying you two were breaking up. What was that about?

P: Who that, son? I don't even know who that is.

With your recent appearance on the Anger Management 3 tour, you seem to have lost weight. Are you still struggling with sickle cell?

P: I'm in perfect health. I ain't been sick in a long time.
H: We slim dudes. But check this bank account. Tell me how I look now (laughs). My hips look kinda fat right? My pockets are bulging.

How do you feel about New York's rap chances right now?

H: I mean, everybody gets their time. It started in New York and it's gonna come back ultimately. People go, "What about the South?" That's a tool to pit everybody against one another. We're all making black music. Right now, our Down South brothers are winning cause they deserve it.

Who do you guys feel is really representing New York right now?

H: Mobb Deep.

Duly noted. Since signing to G Unit, what's been the biggest change in your lives?

P: We're megastars now.
H: I never thought it would be this way.
P: When we signed that contract, Fif gave us the keys to the planet. We can open up any door right now.

Anybody else also really disturbed about 50 picking all their beats? I mean these dudes knew how to pick their beats, pretty much every cd they've put out had ill beats. Even though they fell off a bit on beat selection on the last 2, there were definitely some ill, grimey beats on them. Now we'll hear them over Candy Shop shit, blah.

"Like they don't know Pee/best to do it since Nas and B.I.G."
:roll:

lol@fiddy shit on them and them acting like it ain't mean. Know i really know what nas meant on Destory and Rebuild

wasn't Hav in the ny ny video too?

they acting like snakes for real....i mean its possible to sell your soul and still act like you got some dignity as a MAN? right?

I actually dont hav (pun intended) a problem wit 50 pickin their beats. Dude seems to have a decent ear for beats lately (ref: Hustlers Ambition)

As for that Sickle Cell n*gga it was over when he got the tattoo!

Where D Planet (Prodigy's biggest fan) @?

Dpleezy · **Reply #4 on:** November 03, 2005, 06:24:51 PM

hahah,,, everyone is so sensitive.

P is an ill rapper. has one of the best catalogues of banging music of any rapper (if you like that style).

50 Cent is just giving P the ability to cash in on his years of putting in work. f*** the purists - the proof will be in the pudding. I wouldn't be suprised if Mobb do a few 'commercial' bangers but I bet there will be cla**ic material too.

Man let 'em do what they want. Them dudes are trying to survive. That's how it is. If your shit don't work then work with those who'll make it work for you. Survival is about money.

G-Unit might be wack but if it's gonna make a positive difference in them dudes bank accounts then that's good for them.

That's just how the world is.

Antway by joining fifty, well its for business purposes, i aint got no love for them dudes..

Mobb Deep niggaz iz getting whack each day, the f*** is wrong with them of coz we all need money, they shoud have signed else where not on Gay-Unit.

Gwee · **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2005, 02:20:52 PM
