Let's keep in mind that: 1) I did not go into xlr8r and hold a gun to the editor's head and make them interview me or put me on the cover, contrary to the haters (Poivrenoir, Yussel,& Jayson B) belief. Apparently, I must be currently doing, and/or saying something of some status/substance to warrant a recent cover story on their mag. Regardless to how young I am or how long I've been making records. 2) There are always two view points or angles in every interview. The one of the interviewer, and the one of the interviewee. Sometimes the two do not always coincide, and remember, the interviewer always has the final word and the power of the edit to make an interview look anyway he/she wants. I'm not saying that the interviewer didn't do a great job on this piece, but I probably would have edited a couple of things differently, because there are always, always a mistake or two. 3)Since when did a coupla new jack playa haters (Poivrenoir,Yussel,& Jayson B,etc.) become the authority on this list as to who is in or out of touch with Detroit ? or that Oakee or Digweed are so commercially viable. I can't recall hearing any of their records (that they actually made) on the radio ? Maybe I'm wrong ? someone please correct me if I am. 4) And please give me credit for having enough scruples to know the difference between racism and an artist that can't be broke, and for having enough balls to speak on it when it affects my bottom line.
