Choppa: New No Limit's Great Hope
« on: March 12, 2003, 08:30:09 AM »
New Orleans' newest favorite son is only 21 but in the last six months since he's signed with P, he's accomplished more than many rap veterans. Chart-toppers, tours, TV and movies! His debut, Straight From The N.O. just could be the CD to put New No Limit back in the rap game.

When did you know you were going to be big?
When I started getting hated on, that's when I knew it was real. My mom always told me, 'No matter what people say, as long as they talking about you. If they not talking about you then you got to start worrying.' When I started getting hated on, like people saying, 'He's not gonna make it,' I was like, why are they saying stuff like that. And a local rapper came to me and he was like, 'You going to hear so much stuff about yourself now. It's the thing with being a rapper. If you don't do something, you gonna hear that you do it. Stay focused. Be humble and don't worry about what nobody say about you.' 'Cause I never really cared anyway. Nobody could tell me nothing that could hurt me so I don't be trippin' on nothin' they be talkin' about at all. I just do me. Continue to go forward with it. Never lookin' back. I don't have time to look back I'm so busy.

Were you on an independent label before New No Limit?
I was with Take Fo' Records. In New Orleans.

So that your paying dues period?
Not really. It wasn't hard over there. At first, they didn't want to sign me and I just used to hang around. I used to tell them, 'Ya'll are sleeping on me. Watch. I'm going to blow up on your ass.' There were rappers there already that had established names in the industry and they was known and that's who they used to always talk about. I was nothing. When I got my chance, I didn't use them for no promotion. I promoted myself. I was in the streets--heavy. I was out there. I told them, I said 'Watch.' And I end up being the head of the record label, the #1 seller for them. I plan to do the same thing for No Limit. Just come over and, not really take over but have a strong name as a No Limit seller. When you think of No Limit, you think of Master P. I want when you think of the New No Limit, you think Choppa. Choppa came and he done his thing. Straight up.

Are you off of Take Fo'?
I still have a contract with them. I had two years with them when P came around. They just signed over to No Limit and they still get credit, on the cover and stuff.

When you were coming up, did you want to be on No Limit?
No cause when No Limit was in its prime they had so many artists. I was like how do they keep up with them. They got 30 different artists. They had a CD coming out every month. It was coming soon…coming soon…somebody new. I mean that was my dream to be with Cash Money or No Limit. Because in New Orleans that was the top two record labels. So I was like, 'I wonder which one I'm going to go to.' But it was always joking. I never was serious like that. I'm trying to be the one to bring them [New No Limit] back now.

Do you feel pressure?
It's just excitement. Maybe if I was a veteran I'd be sitting back feeling pressure. But by me being the new kid on the block, I feel like everything's happening for a reason. It's written. I'm just letting it go. I'm not planning. I'm just going with the flow. I'm young so I got a long career, a bright future.

When did you get your Platinum and diamond teeth?
At first I had gold teeth. Eight gold teeth in high school, in 11th grade. Once I became a rapper, I wild out. I got tired of gold and got Platinum. Now there's 10. With 10 karat diamonds.

Does it feel different?
It's like braces.

How do you clean them?
The gold couldn’t come out. But these I could take 'em out. And I have my white teeth under 'em. When I was younger and I got the gold, sometimes they file your teeth down. But I didn't get my teeth filed down. The man said I'm going to tell you like this, 'You have nice teeth. I don't want to file your teeth down and in ten years you want your teeth back. I'm going to place the gold over it. I'm going to cement 'em down.' Now I want to be able to take 'em out.

Do they mean something?
In New Orleans, everybody have golds. My mama, her mama, my daddy, his daddy had 'em. It's a trend in New Orleans. You have kids 14 have 'em in their mouth. When I was 14, I wanted them. But I didn't get them until I was 16.



there is hope

Agreed. Despite all the hating, No Limit was the shit back in the day, and I'd love them to make something worthwhile again. I've heard good things about Choppa, although I haven't heard his songs yet. I'll definitely check for it, and Magic's White Eyes as well.
