Interview With A Legend: Spider Loc (mentions dubcnn)

[MOB]

No matter how many artist bios or magazine articles you read, one thing remains the same: the best way to connect with your favorite MC’s is to pay attention to the lyrics. If you listen to Spider Loc’s “First Degree” he flatly states, “West Coast classic gimmie my space / and for the record I ain’t never been on Myspace.” Don’t let his disdain for social networking sites fool you though, like any smart spider, Loc knows how to use the web to his advantage. When he’s not cashing in from selling trademarked merchandise on his own site, you might just catch him granting AllHipHop.com another exclusive interview.

Roughly two years after grabbing headlines by securing a spot in G-Unit courtesy of impressing Young Buck and 50 Cent with a freestyle verse, Spider and DJ Felli Fell team up to drop Connected. In addition to lines like the ones found on the aforementioned “First Degree,” Spider Loc mixes in radio worthy material and battle-ready bars with a little help from West Coast vets Ice Cube, C-Bo and B.G. Knoccout. It’s a rather appropriate title, as today finds him back on the block trying to balance the connections with his set and the status that being a member of G-Unit provides.

All those interested in learning the difference between “industry” types and “in the streets” types should keep reading. After all, this is the best way to connect with Spider Loc until you can get your own copy of Connected and his upcoming album, The West Kept Secret. Trust us, it will get you much closer than a friend request.

AllHipHop.com: A lot of the artists out West find themselves pushing the line for different agendas. Do you have any feelings about the remarks Snoop Dogg made about you on DubCNN.com?

Spider Loc: I don’t know what really motivated him to lash out and speak on my name in the manner that he did. The environment that I’m from—being a street n***a and coming over into this industry, I’ve made some mistakes as a young man. I said some terrible, horrible, derogatory things about his mother that in the long run I made an effort to apologize to him for. It was probably a byproduct of who I was associated with at that time [Death Row Records], and I’m not even sure if he was aware of what I said, but I still felt like I was out of line by speaking on his mother like I did. At any rate, he forgave me, or I thought that he had forgiven me.

To this day, I still don’t know what motivated him. What bothered me was that he said, “G-Unit can’t save you cuzz.” I don’t know what he meant. Saving me from what? G-Unit has saved me already from so many things. S.P.I. is a hog out here, I don’t need to be saved—be saved from hell that’s about it. I’m EC G-Unit on my license plate, everywhere out here n****s know. G-Unit can’t save me. But it’s all good; I’ve seen Snoop since then.

I don’t know where his head is at, but I thought that was very careless of him to represent himself as a leader out here on the West Coast. As someone who is trying to pull everyone together under a blanket of organization, I thought that was very careless of him to go and speak on the Internet in the manner that he did. I felt it was my responsibility to make communication with him rather than respond in the same manner via the Internet. I hollered at him since then, and it’s one hundred as far as how we left it. Snoop told me to keep it Crippin’ so I’mma do what he says.
