Quote from: Don Rizzle on May 10, 2006, 03:16:12 AMiraq would just get annexed by iranThat would be a great solution. If Iran and the majority of Iraqi's are pleased with it, then why shouldn't they do it?
iraq would just get annexed by iran
Q: You went from being on one of the biggest major labels to putting out your own CD's, tell me a little about why you went independent?Daz Dillinger: Nobody was tryin' to give me what I was worth.Q: So you had a bunch of deals offered to you?Daz Dillinger: Naw, nobody would give me a deal. Nobody would fuck with me. I left L.A. with $300 and a half ounce, hit the 5 freeway, did a couple tracks with them ballin' ass cats in The Bay, then I hooked up with JT (The Bigga Figga), and he was teachin' me the game and we was gettin looted up. I was like, "shit this is it right here." Then I started off with R.A.W. (Daz's first independent release), and then we did Daz & JT The Bigga Figga album. The two we got out, then I got with Kurupt and we was all wit it. We're startin small, and makin' it big, just to show these labels we could move it too. All those labels, they wanna knock on the door now, but ain't givin me what I'm gettin' paid, $10 a unit. I'm gettin all of it.Q: You mentioned JT, how'd you hook up with him?Daz Dillinger: We've been knowin' each other for years. I came out there, I had just got off Death Row and lived up there in Fillmoe for like 5-6 months. We did that album (Longbeach 2 Fillmoe), and a dude came through and looted us out like 20,000 units. So we hooked up and continued to do more shit.Q: That's tight. Now for this new record, howcome you guys didn't use Tha Dogg Pound name for this 'Dillinger & Young Gotti' album?Daz Dillinger: Cause that's all in the Death Row days, we wanna come with somethin' new. We left all that Dogg Pound shit, they can have that shit. They got a couple of Dogg Pound records they gonna come out with. It's like outdated though.Q: You were the last one to leave Death Row (of the original roster). After everyone else left, you stayed behind. It seemed like everything was cool. What finally made you decide to leave?Daz Dillinger: It was cool, ya know what I mean. I stayed around to get the money. Everybody left so I got to keep more of it. I got what was mine and I bailed out.Q: I heard you were doing Dogg Pound States, where you go around with each state and put together a DPG album with their people.Daz Dillinger: DPG America is where I go to all the local states and fuck with the local cats. It's already in the works. The first project is D.P.G. Texas, I got Bun B. Flip, and the independent cats out there, Rap-A-Lot, the whole Texas squad. Then I got New Orleans, where my father's from, and me and my nephew Rashaad got this project we're puttin together called 'D.N.T. Downtown.' You know Cash Money and them got uptown and all my people are from 7th and 9th Ward Downtown. Being independent allows you to do a whole lotta shit, all you have to do is have the project and I gonna have 'em droppin every thirty days.Q: What's the next project you got comin' out?Daz Dillinger: It's this rock group called Mean Peace, it's that Limp Bizkit type stuff. I'm doin the first single with them called 'We Can Ride.' I'm gonna put their shit all over MTV and get some of that money too. I got the clothing and all that other shit and I got the chain stores openin up. We're droppin Kurupt's shit next. It's called "Space Boogie - Smoke Oddessey." We got Limp Bizkit on there, Jon B., Mo, Snoop, a whole buncha cats.Q: It seemed like for awhile that there was somethin' goin on between you and Snoop.Daz Dillinger: It wasn't really nothin' goin on, it was just the fact that we was growin' up. We hang out, we just don't do any music right now cause it's business. We're workin on a D.P.G.C. album though, that's me, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Snoop, all the people on Dogghouse, and all my people.Q: What took so long to put out another D.P.G. album?Daz Dillinger: We had to get our business straight. I didn't wanna do no more records on Death Row 'cause they ain't right, naw mean? Fuckin with the devil will get you burnt. We got our own shit now, everybody's off the label, we can do what the fuck we wanna do.Q: Could you speak on the chemistry you and Kurupt have. It's amazing how you guys interact with each other on record.Daz Dillinger: It ain't nothin. We brothers man. We just make it happen, that's just Daz and Kurupt. It's like fuck...I can't even explain it, it's just some real ass shit. We know we the only ones who can get us paid.Q: I saw you guys are doin a Kurupt and Daz tour. What's up with that?Daz Dillinger: We gonna get with all our people and the local independent acts that's sellin records and we just gonna book our own arenas. We might have Jay-Z on a couple dates.Q: Speaking of which, how did you hook up with Jay-Z?Daz Dillinger: It was like a gift from God man, it's like a real tough time for me and Hova (Jay-Z) always seems to come, just like he did for U.G.K. I gotta call from my homegirl who works for ASCAP, and she said, "Jay-Z want to do a song with you." I was like "damn, which one?" We went and did the song and we just kept the relationship. I got the whole thing on tape, so I'm sellin' tapes of it independent. We went back out there again and got on Beanie Sigel's new one.Q: Big Tigga from Tha Bassment said you might be puttin out an album on Roc-A-Fella Records.Daz Dillinger: Yeah, we're workin it out. It's a project we're puttin together. It'd be a Daz solo album on DPG Records and Roc-A-Fella Records cause we both independent. He gonna come with the best in the East and I'm comin' with the best in the West and we gonna put it together on one album. We gonna get this muthafuckin money and I'ma have the tightest beats in the world on that muthafucka. I'm also doin an album with Luke called 'Work For That Money' and I got little movie comin' with it too. It's a day in the life of a stripper, and bitch gettin' robbed and every muthafuckin thang. I got a whole buncha shit, I got that one with Snoop and them and I know I got some extra money in the future when we do this Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tha Dogg Pound and everybody else album.Q: So you guys are gonna hook back up like in the old Death Row days?Daz Dillinger: That's in the future when everybody get over they struggle-trials and doin' their thang. I just know one day I'ma get that money.
