I saw a person write as feedback to your song “I’m Toe Up”, asking why all of these West Coast artists trying to sound like the South. How do you respond to something like that? Problem: 808 beats and snares are from the South? Because I swear to God that NWA used that 20 years ago. Stop me if I’m wrong but all of that boom-boom-bap-bap-boom-bap [mimics the Dopeman beat], that was all Dre, right? C’mon man, get that fuckin’ bullshit out of here. That’s what’s wrong with music now, everybody wants to classify it saying, “That sounds like the East Coast, that sounds like the West Coast or that sounds like the South – No! That sounds like a snare, a high-hat and whatever the fuck is on it. They can kiss my ass honestly. If it sounds like the South to you, then turn it off on your iPod and listen to whatever the fuck you want to. Music is a thing of choice, nobody forces you. It’s not like going to work. You listen to what you want to listen to. I don’t hate on what anybody else is doing. I may not like some of the music that’s out, but I won’t be like, “He’s fuckin’ stupid for doing that.” That artist did what the fuck he wanted to do and he had a certain fan-base that he was trying to reach. So those people who say those things can suck me sideways.
That was a tight interview. I remember Problem promoting his shit on that other site Styles had before he went back to RapTalk [Don't know if I can mention it]. Glad he finally made it.
