We looking at "Up & Down" a song called Up and Down..Kelly
Robinson, Tiffanny, alter ego so im having a little fun
the album is more of a celebration of life so we looking at somethin
to put out just real fun just enjoyin eachother
enjoyin the freedom of being off of Ruthless and doing our thang
and doing our solo stuff and owning our own company so
"Up & Down" will probably be the first single.
Dubcnn.com: So who's gonna distribute the album?
Koch's records right?
Yea Koch is distributing that record in particulor it also going
under 7th Sign records aswell.
Dubcnn.com: Oh tight man, so whats up with the
rumour i've been hearing like Damizza telling me you guys might
be hooking up with Dre to umm sign a contract?
Aw man you know I think those rumours come more over on the Krayzie
Bone side because I really don't know nothing about it. Nobody really
asked me nothing about signing to anybody, I just been really doing
my 7th Sign deal with Universal and thats really the only thing
that I been into at this point but you know im always there but
you know I didn't hear that rumour though.
Dubcnn.com: Because you know I asked him about
it too and he said he got people talking to Aftermath to get that
done.
Well ain't nobody talking to me Baaby!
Dubcnn.com: Dam they always leave you out of it!
...leaving me out of it I wanted to be on the Mariah Carey song
man they ain't even tell me about it, didn't tell me where they
were going man left me out in the cold.
Dubcnn.com: Dam thats fucked up!
It's baad man alot of people hear alot of bad things about B man
not showing up it don't even be about that man half the time.
Don't nobody be telling me..
Dubcnn.com: What's the reason?
It just the crowd be screaming so loud when I get on stage it's
ear deafening you know what im saying.
I love to be there and I love to hear that but and Bone know if
I don't know im supposed to be there, there's nothing I can do you
know.
I be watchin TV like everybody else and be like dam where Bizzy
at? Me and my manager be sitting back like our phone's are still
on I dont think they turned our phones off you know we checking
our nr's making sure the phonecompany didn't cut off our phones
because we was like wondering why we didn't get a call.
Dubcnn.com:*laughs* That's messed up
Yea im glad you got it, it took you a minute to get there but im
glad you got the punch line.
Dubcnn.com: Tell us more about the album you doing
with Layzie..
Well that's the little duet thing like I told you a celebration
of life the basic thing the real concentration what we doing right
now under 7th Sign records is we're putting out "Alpha and
Omega" it's a solo album with Bizzy Bone and the 7th sign Regime.
We're also putting a movie out with the cd so people could go and
see me featured films starring Bizzy and you know learn alot about
me.
Cinema documentary type a indepth upclose and personal look at what
im doing as an artist and what it takes to make it in this business
and last 13 years like I have. We put atleast 4 or 500 000 dollars
into this project so it's looking as if we're gonna get a great
turnout.
Dubcnn.com: You're one of the greatest artists
man you worked with all the greats, Tupac Biggie everybody..
Oh yea man we're some of the last ones still standing its about
longetivity we put out hot stuff up to date stuff and just keep
the music beautiful man and always have a message and something
to talk about really formulate and build a relationship with the
listener.
Dubcnn.com: Tell us about the movie you gone put
out.
It's Alpha and Omega the motion picture aswell as with an album
so its really an album a movie and soundtrack but we're gonna put
it ou on cd and give the movie away for free so people can run into
the stores and see the extra value ofcourse.
So it's really and upclose personal about Bizzy where im from with
all the deaths that are happening in my family.
You know the stuff that never got mentioned like when "Crossroads"
came out it was never about any of my family members. You know I
had alot of my own family members die my own people have died and
it hasn't been televised and publisized. So it's alot of things
going on with Bizzy that the people don't know, instead of just
laying back and sayin if people really wanna know let them find
out we're giving it to them.
We're showing it to them what it actually takes to stay in this
game and all of the rumours put out the group rumours and all of
those other things we're answering all questions and let people
know we're here to stay. It ain't to many people outthere that can
hold a candle stick when it comes to getting behind that mic and
we're taking on all challengers. And that's all full of stance that
we're taking aswell you're going to respect me as an artist and
you're going to know actually how good I actually am because I work
to hard for you not too so let me show you the whole thing and that's
what it's basically about.
Dubcnn.com: Becuase I noticed that when Eazy was
around everything looked cool with you guys as soon as he passed
away rest in peace you know things started going wrong, what happened?
You know well im'a be honest with you I signed a contract with
Eazy E when I was 17 years old you know im glad he took me out of
the streets and I thank god I think him aswell him and anything
around him at the same time it looks ok because we're drunk out
of our minds & we're high out of our minds.
Not just smoking
a little bit of bud im talkin bout smoking until you're Unconcious
not just drinking one bottle of liqour but four bottles of liquor
a piece. When you fresh and young you can do that and so after he
died it was so much of our money that were tooken that it was like
ok let us wake up and try to see if we can find someone how just
can get our money for us and that became another struggle In the
mist of all of that and in the mist of a ruth life it tore the group
apart and thats how I look at it.
I mean we still friends but as far as.. its business we can't have
fun anymore like Bone thugs and harmony can't go into the studio
and have some fun anymore.
It's that fucking stupid that we all can't go into the studio and
have a great time.
Dubcnn.com: But you and Layzie go together well
right?
Aw yea yea definetly when we see eachother it's a beautiful thang
but right now it's all about the business. You know the only thing
that I can really say is if you ask me to be at your show and you
call me, you get intouch with myself my people you can put money
on our Bizzy I can only promise me I cannot promise anyone else.
It's sort of like a basketball team, you never catch Kobe Bryant,
Gary Payton, Karl Malone and Shaquille Oneal with the same contract.
Everyone has seperate agreements everyone is threated as an individual.
I.E Threated as an individual because it ain't all about the money
but it is all about the money.
You know us being in a position of not being threated as an individual
now that we're actin as individuals their saying the group is split
up and it's perpatuated itself with the group whereas the group
is sayin ok well I guess we're split up but really everybody is
just being accountable to their own business that's really all it
is everyones owning and controling their own company so they can
hold their own because you know 13 years in the game if you can't
own your own at this point then why even be in the game this long.
You had your run fuckit we need to own our own that's the only reason
to stay in the game. "Thuggish Ruggish Bone", "Crossroads",
"4 The Love Of Money",
"Days Of Our Lives" all
of these songs our children getting no money off of.
That was all tooken by Ruthless. *Yells* Tooken! I didn't say given
not by myself so now it's a kind of a different story. We're just
establishing new frontiers we've already layed groundwork. Now its
time to establish our own frontier.
Dubcnn.com: You know when I spoke to Mc Ren he
told me when you guys were both on Ruthless they tried to keep you
guys away from eachother, they were like telling him that bone doesn't
wanna do songs with him and viceversa.
Yea yea that's they whole survive and conquer because Ren has been
with Ruthless so long their like aw shit he's gonna give these guys
the scoop we gotto keep him the fuck away from them because Ren
is gonna tell Bone thugs and harmony all the dirt on Ruthless and
all the ways that they done him and we're gonna learn from that
and turn it around to make it good for ourselves.
So instead of
letting us better ourselves Ruthless being the evil demented
company that they were while working with Bone thugs and harmony
did everything they could to keep us supressed. It's sorta like
a female who doesn't wanna let go of a man she gone do anything
she can scratch, claw, syke, put the baby in your face, take you
to court call up the homies to fuck you up. Any and everything to
keep you. The only thing that has actually happened is you've solidified
my decision to never come back and never turn my back again.
Ruthless is the worse babymoma you can ever have in your entire
life and guess what the baby ain't even yours. She just puttin it
on you because the muthafuckaz light skinned .
Dubcnn.com: That's fucked up.
Yea it's fucked up so when you finnally get swobbed up and you
get the DNA test and you find out I.E paperwork you don't have to
be at this muthafucka and you wake up the only thing that can be
done is a broader hand method so say well I tried I got as much
out of it as I could.
And she made millions, she sold the publishing off for millions
but Bizzy Bone's kids don't get to eat off of that.
Dubcnn.com: How many kids you got?
Right now we're working on 7.
Dubcnn.com: Dam that's so many how old are you
Bizzy?
27 yea im relatively young im'a come outthere and show yall what
a real hiphop artist is supposed to do.
I've never been able to go overseas yet because noone was really
talking to me the way they needed to speak to me they more or less
trusted the group members and Ruthless records to bring me there.
And by them being a bit behind on the industry and not knowing as
far as right away they didn't know that Bizzy was sueing Ruthless.
They didn't know that Bizzy was kicked out of Bone Thugs and Harmony.
They didn't know that but they expected me to be there not even
knowing the stories about me being actually kicked out of the group
by the members then giving me paperwork like I was dated rappin
and me suing ruthless and winning.
So when they get outthere what they would say is oh Bizzy couldn't
make it instead of we put him out of the group because they didn't
wanna hear the aaaw from the crowd. That is the real when you talk
to me you're gonna get the real when you see me you gonna get the
real when you just hear me you gonna get the real.
Dubcnn.com: oh ok can you tell us about your solo
album whats that called?
Alpha and Omega that is what we're putting out with the movie and
what we're doing is we're taking it back to the realness and we
got the 7th sign vibe the begining and the ending.
I put this album together through many years of hard earned struggle
blood sweat and tears. This is my blood sweat and tears. This is
better than heavens movie it's better than the gift, it's awhole
nother level.
Dubcnn.com: Daam who's handling the production?
Aw yours truely..
Dubcnn.com: I didn't know you produced.
Well I have here and there, I did one song on "heavens movie"
I did like 3 songs on "the gift" and now i'm doing the
majourity of this production because I know it's me but it's still
has to be good.
So I can only come with good stuff I can't come with the bullshit
so it took me a minute to make sure I had my skills groomed to the
point of where my raps are.
So now were I really need to be and people gonna be very surprised
of what they hear they gonna be very surprised, i'm gonna make sure
that we get some albums out and some snippets to you so you can
be surprised aswell because we need you guys outthere to help push..
Dubcnn.com: Man we gone help you anyway we can..
That's what we need we don't need to build this bridge for a second
this needs to be something that lasts long to where when you need
any help where im at I got you do not worry about it and vice versa.
Dubcnn.com: I would do anything to help you homie.
That's a wonderful thing man im glad that I finnally had the chance
to speak to you and I can't wait til you get this out to my people
because they've never been able to hear what I had to say Iv'e been
black balled with ducktape on my mouth because what i'm telling
you right now is very scary.
Dubcnn.com: Yea yea man i'ma let em hear this
real shit.
Thank you
Dubcnn.com: So do you still smoke weed?
No not really man now i've been so busy you know at a club you
know 'here won't you tap on this blunt' I might tap on the blunt
every now and then but right now were my mind is I just been I haven't
been drinking i've been off thee bottle battling the bottle because
that's something that I don't wanna do so as far as smoking blunts
that really isn't me nomore.
I'm really so much more into my music than I ever was so it takes
my thoughts and all of my time and concentration.
Dubcnn.com: Yea so you ain't gone be making nomore
weed songs?
Oh yeea you gone get you one... Ooh Yea we're not saying that it
doesn't happen it's just that's not gonna be my best song any longer.
If you catch my drift?
Dubcnn.com: Yea I feel you, so what topics will
you touch on the new album?
Well we tell them on the album that we're not afraid, that we would
die for you,
that murder is outta control that capo got murdered,
that the streets mothered me, that I left my niggaz, that Thug world
we live in a Thug world and we also tell them you know I got a little
something when the lights turn off and you with that special one
that you wanna spend time with at the moment.
We tellem all in together now daam what is the woman that I love
doing to me, we tellem that and we letem know at the end all we
want you to do is sit back relax and have a puff or two because
all we wanna do is get high with you.
Dubcnn.com: *laughs* tiight alright man do you
still mess with the Ouiji board or that's part of the past?
You know that game left a long long time ago, it left while we
were still thinking about it. It was still never a part of our napsack
with never in the backpack never next to the hennessey.
That was something that was played as ... uh I guess I was 15 years
old the rest of the guys were like 17, 18, 19 and it was something
that was played in our youth an experimentation and we took that
experience of it and left because the last thing the Ouiji board
told me to do was take in a cult. After it said that I ended it's
life stand with me and I never touched it again.
Dubcnn.com: Do you still fuck with Mr Majesty?
You know what he went straight Gospel rap you know a couple of
murders in the 7th sign my little brother got murdered unfortunetly
my liutenent got murdered unfortunetly..and you know he went gospel.
Aw yea you gonna hear all about this on the new album and in the
new movie. Things that have been happening that Bizzy is going through
that people are wondering why is Bizzy's style changing why does
it sound like Bizzy is so aggressive?
It seems like busy isn't insync it's just that i'm living a street
life and im still in the streets I dont live in Hollywood I still
live in Ohio Im still here, i'm still thuggish ruggish. Like foreal
foreal, ducking and shit muthafuckaz is shooting i'm searching cars
and shit it's serious so I need to be able to bring that. Thats
why people are still feeling Bizzy and they will not let Bizzy go
down without a fight.
And I REFUSE.. THEY GONE HAVE TO KILL ME.. THEY'LL NEVER TAKE ME
ALIVE YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT SHIT..
Dubcnn.com: Oh man I hope they never kill you..
So will you have Tony C do something for you? Do you still talk
to him?
Well you know Tony C he's so crazy man Ima tell you what happened
to Tony C, He did alot work on Eternal that he didn't get alot of
credit for..
Yea he always thinks that somebody gonna rob him and somebody gone
take something from him so he spit to say certain things that he
really don't mean at the time as long as he gets his money.
You know but I didn't go with Tony C on this one because I needed
as much production room as I could and I also got a team of producers
that I work with Chase the cat Studio rat uhh K roll different producers
that I work with that are on the team that are fenomenal that's
their only job.
So I couldn't have ganked em anylonger and with
this new team that we got, Double R you know 7th Sign IMG distrobution,
Universal distrobution we putting out movies 7th Sign Films, I mean
with this new level that we're on right now that i'm on it just
I didn't have enough room for him this time but it doesn't mean
I won't holla.
Dubcnn.com: Yea because he told me that Dj Uneek
stole some of his stuff and put his credit on there.
Well you know that was stricly a production thing and the only
thing I know on "Creepin On Ah Comeup" so if anybody you
know want to pitch a bitch I should be bitchin.
Dubcnn.com: Dam what songs did you produce on

Dubcnn.com: Oh that's my favourite song man.

Ah COmeup" as far as the production with a brother named Kenny
Mcclowd.
Dubcnn.com: Yea what's he up too now?
