Sixshot.Com: You and Obie Trice are both gone and you two were major pieces to the puzzle. Do you think Shady Records is going to be the same?Stat Quo: I mean I don’t know. The clock is definitely ticking. It’ll obviously be a little different because we’re not there. They got a talented roster though. You can’t deny that. The only way I see the artists on Shady/Aftermath coming out is if Eminem, 50, and Dre put out their albums. If they don’t then Bobby Creek and D12 can’t put out their albums. The stockholders need these records to come out.They need these millions of dollars so there could be a Shady Records and an Aftermath or a G-Unit. In my opinion it’s just a case of why would I spend all of this money on a maybe when I could just do the sure thing? When Dre, 50, or Em put out an album you know they’re going to sell. They want the sure thing but that’s just my opinion. They could turn around tomorrow and put out everybody’s album but I doubt it.
Sixshot.Com: In your opinion, is Dre’s album ever going to come out?Stat Quo: Um, maybe in 2010. I told him that one time before and he laughed at me. In my opinion I don’t think it’s coming out anytime soon. I want it to come out. I want him to put his record out. He works hard and makes so much great music. I think Dre and Em are just very important to hip-hop music. Rap is real 'single-driven' right now and that’s kinda changed the whole scope of rap music.Not a lot of people are just putting out that real hip-hop, so if Em and Dre do then that helps hip-hop as a whole. It’s not just about oh I need to put out a Stat Quo album It’s about hip-hop overall. Eminem and Dre are really important to hip-hop. I know Em is going to put out an album I ain’t even worried about that. Dre I don’t know. I really don’t.
who knows... he said he hasnt talked to dre in a while. I have actual hope that it will come out in 09. But, you never know.
