Interview - The Wacsta... a.k.a. Mr. Wacy Loco

by: STANOYE (96.co.yu & hip-hopbase.com)

- So here we are with The Wacsta, true west coast rapper,producer and a business
tycoon, owner of a "We Whit It Entertainment"! What do you prefer? Just a rapper,or...
- I PREFER ENTERTAINER / CEO. FA-SHO.

- You are a California native,born in South Central,LA.
What was it like growing up in there?
- GROW"N UP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA , (L.A.) WAS LIKE GROW"N UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR ZONE INFESTED WHIT GANGS , POLICE , AND CRACKHEADS , (WHICH WE REFER 2 AS SMOKERS.)
A PLACE WHERE "ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE ," IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN , ITS A WAY OF LIFE.

- What got you into the rap game in the first place?
- JAIL GOT ME INTO RAP REALLY BUT AH NIGGA ALWAYS BEEN LITEWEIGHT FUCK"N AROUND , RAP"N OLD-SCHOOL NIGGAS SHIT YOU FEEL ME ? SO I KINDA HAD A FEEL 4 THE FLOW PART. BUT I LEARNED HOW TO CONVERT MY OWN THOUGHTS TO WORDS , AND THEN HOW TO TRANSFER THEM TO PAPER IN A SPECIAL WAY BEING INCARCERATED , AWAY FROM HOME , WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT THINK AND FIGHT.

- Your debut album "West Coast Resurrected" was bangin!
Tell us about work on that album.
- FIRST OF ALL , "THE WESTCOAST RESURRECTED ALBUM," IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A STR_8 CLASSIC PERIOD. IT WAS A TRUE INSPIRATION TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE BEST WEST COAST GEE"S THE STREET AND THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. IT REALLY MADE ME FEEL APART OF SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER THAN MYSELF AND TO KNOW THAT I HELD MY OWN IN THE BOOTH WITH THE TRUTH. STR_8 G. SHIT , AND MUCH LOVE TO ALL MY NIGGAS FOR THEIR SUPPORT.

- Collaborations on that album was legendary: WC, Tash, Jayo Felony, Spice 1, C-Bo, Kokane, Too Short and more.
How did you came up with all those legends!?
- I JUST SAID A REAL BIG PRAYER. (LOL)!
I GOT MY GEE WAYS. DONT TRIP CRIP. JUST DONT PUT NOTHIN PAST ME , YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU MIGHT HEAR ME ON SOME SHIT WHIT
I GET AROUND LIKE PAC.

- What were your primary goals with your first album?
- TO KEEP IT REAL, I WANTED MY INTRODUCTION TO BE TAKE"N SERIOUSLY SO I MADE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE NORMALLY THROWN THE SHIT IN THE TOILET" LIKE LUDA DID D.J. IN HUSTLE N FLOW, " STOP AND GO " WOW YOU GOT SO & SO ON THIS SHIT, IM FINNA GO CHECK THIS SHIT OUT. FEEL ME?
PEOPLE WERE REALLY IMPRESSED TO FIND A NAME ON THAT C.D. THAT REALLY MADE THEM TAKE INTEREST.

- Tell us about your relationship wit Dub-c, what was it like to have him as an influence?
- I`VE KNOWN W.C. AND TOONS SINCE I WAS A KID. THEY GREW UP ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE. THOSE NIGGAS IS LIKE UNCLES TO ME. SHIT, THEM NIGGAS USE TO THROW THE FOOTBALL UP AND PLAY CATCH WHIT US WHEN THEY WAS"NT GOIN HARD IN THEIR GARAGE WITH THIS WESTCOAST GEE SHIT. SINCE I COULD REMEMBER THEM NIGGAS BEEN FUCK"N WHIT THIS MUSIC SHIT OFF TOP. SO I WAS HAPPY TO SEE MY NIGGA CRIP WALK"N FROM THE STREETS TO YO TELEVISION SETS. PUT"N THE WEST ON THE MAP, UNFORTUNATLY I WAS IN JAIL AND HAD TO WATCH MY NIGGA DO HIS THANG FROM BEHIND BARS. BUT AS YOU COULD SEE W.C. KEPT IT REAL , JUST CHECK OUT THE TRACK "REALITY" , SONG NUMBER 06 ON THE WESTCOAST RESURRECTED ALBUM. "STR_8 BANGER"... PLUS MY UNCLE BIG G. WAS ONE OF THE MEMBERS IN W.C.`S GROUP "THE MAD CIRCLE", WHICH @ THE TIME INCLUDED COOLIO, FEEL ME? NIGGA GOT ROOTS TO THIS G SHIT. SO I LEARNED FROM HIM TO STAY FOCUSED AND NEVER GIVE UP, BUT ALWAYS GIVE BACK.

- What were your other influences over the years?
- TO KEEP IT REAL I AM MY GREATEST INFLUENCE BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY PERSON @ THIS POINT THAT IS WILL"N TO GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE. BESIDES GOD THAT IS.

- About your crew - We Whit It Rydaz, who are the members?
- AS FAR AS THE WE WHIT IT RYDAZ ARE CONCERNED, THE ROSTER IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT ON THE "WARNING THIS IS NOT A MIX TAPE PROJECT", IT BOAST NEW FACES WHIT A NEW TWIST. NAMES SUCH AS MY COUSIN, T.C. , SLEAP ,THE HOMIES BIG TREE , DIRTY MIKE , C-NASTY ETC.
ALL BEATS ON THIS PROJECT ARE IN-HOUSE DONE @ WE WHIT IT ENT. STUDIO"S.

- Can you tell us about your new project "Warning: This Is Not A Mixtape"? I mean title itself brings the hype, but can you tell us about tracks? What was your basic goal?
- I ACTUALLY HAVE TWO PROJECTS READY TO BE DROPPED RIGHT NOW, BUT I HAVE YET TO FIGURE WHICH ONE TO BLAST OFF FIRST. ONE OF WHICH IS THE "WARNING THIS IS NOT A MIXTAPE". FEAT. THE WE WHIT IT RYDAZ. THIS PROJECT WAS NOT PUT TOGETHER TO DISS THE MIXTAPE SCENE BUT TO BRING BACK THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW HOT SHIT THAT HOPEFULLY ENDS UP MIXTAPE MATERIAL ONE DAY, FEEL ME.
THE SECOND IS MY SOLO PROJECT WHICH IS ALSO FINISHED AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE FINAL MIXING STAGES. NO NAME FOR THIS PROJECT AS OF YET BUT STAY TUNED WE WHIT IT RYDAZ , BOTH ARE TIGHT AS FUCK... PERIOD. BUT JUST KNOW MY SOLO SHIT IS GOING TO CHANGE SHIT, JUST WATCH!

- I see. Let me ask you about rap game today. We saw a lot of changes, industry have expanded very fast! What do you think of it?
- AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED IN REGARDS TO THE RAP GAME TODAY, I THINK ITS GREAT THE WAY IT HAS EVOLVED, WHY? BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE FORGET WHERE WE COME FROM. I LOVE TO SEE PEOPLE RISE UP AND BREAK THE CHAINS IF YOU FOLLOW MY DRIFT. SHIT, ALL MUSIC IS, IS A FORM OF SELF EXPRESSION THAT OTHER PEOPLE EITHER FEEL OR THEY DONT. SO I ENCOURAGE ANY ARTIST TO JUST DO YOU AND FEED YO FAMILY, "BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE TRIP"N OFF RAP, BUT AINT PAY"N CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE NEWS, OR THE WAR IN IRAQ." AND THATS REAL SHIT, THINK ABOUT IT!

- What does it take to bring the west coast back on the top?
- HONESTLY , FOR THE WEST TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE AGAIN NIGGAS GOTTA QUIT CRY"N AND FIND A WAY TO GET THEIR SHIT DONE THEMSELVES. FUCK WAIT"N ON A DREAM WHEN NIGGAS ONLY DELIVER"N NITEMARES STRAIT UP. JUST TO LET ARTIST KNOW, CATS GET SIGNED TO LABELS EVERY DAY AND NEVER GET PUT OUT. STRAIT UP, THE WEST LACKS UNITY. TO CHANGE SHIT WOULD TAKE A HOSTILE TAKE OVER CAUSE NIGGAS EGOES IS IN THE WAY. (AINT NO SECRET). SOME CATS CANT ACCEPT CHANGE, SO YOU GOTTA FORCE IT ON "EM BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. AND IT AINT JUST THE LABELS, SOME OF THESE WEST COAST D.J."S NEED TO STOP DICK RIDE"N, AS WELL AS HATE"N. SO SOMETIMES TO GET RESPECT , YOU SIMPLY GOTTA TAKE IT, AND WHAT BETTER WAY THEN TO CONTINOUSLY DROP HOT SHIT, AND FUCK WHOEVER DONT LIKE IT DIG.

- What does the average Wacsta day look like?
- THE TYPICAL WACY LOCO DAY IS JUST THAT, "WACY, AND LOCO."
MY TIME IS DIVIDED BETWEEN MY NEW LITTLE BABY GIRL, AND WE WHIT IT BUSINESS, STUDIO, ARTIST DEVELOPEMENT, RECORDING, PRODUCTION, MANAGEMENT ETC. OH YEA! AND STRUGGLE"N TO PAY THE BILLS TOO. SO WHENEVER YOU SEE A WE WHIT IT PROJECT PLEASE NEVER HESITATE TO TREAT YOURSELVES. THANK YOU.

- Who have you been listening to personally lately?
- I PERSONALLY LIKE TO LISTEN TO A VARIETY OF ARTIST, FROM SNOOP, TO BEYONCE JUST KEEP"N IT REAL, BUT I DIG THAT NIGGA J.Z. "THAT NIGGA IS, THAT NIGGA".

- What can we expect in the future from you?
- FOR ALL MY WE WHIT IT RYDA"Z OUT THERE I PROMISE TO ALWAYS GIVE YOU MY ALL AND THATS WHAT YOU COULD EXPECT FROM ME AND MY ORGANIZATION PERIOD. I WILL NOT CHEAT YOU.

- And for the end, do you have any last words for the fans here in europe?
- IN CLOSING I WOULD JUST LIKE TO EXTEND MY THANKS TO ALL OF MY, "EUROPEAN WE WHIT IT RYDA"Z,"
AND PROMISE WHENEVER I GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A SHOW OUT THERE WE ARE GOING TO ROCK THAT SHIT. MUCH LOVE AND THANKS AGAIN FOR THE CHANCE TO BE HEARD.
GOD BLESS THE WEST...
