When are we going to get a Soopafly interview?

[Soopafly DPGC]

We need a Soopafly interview badly.  It's been years since dubcc has done one.  Several people here seem to be able to get in contact with him, let's make this happen people.  He's got a new EP coming out, now is the time to do this.  But don't just ask him easy softball questions, let's get a real in depth interview with the man going.  Things that all his true fans have been wanting to know.  Here are some questions i thought of for the interview.  And i'm serious, will someone take him this transcript and ask him these questions word for word??

1.  How did you initially get into the rap game?  Were you trying to get in as a rapper or a producer?  Did you have a demo tape or anything like that?

2.  You mentioned in the song "That Way" that you could have signed with Loud Records, but chose Death Row instead.  What kind of offer did Loud Records make to you in the way of albums/marketing ideas, etc?

3.  In your song "I Don't Hang", at the end you mention working with Daz on an EP.  Was this something that was going to be released on Loud records?  Why did this EP never see the light of day?

4.  One of your earliest  productions that I can remember was a song you did for The Twinz entitled "4 Eyez 2 Headz".  How did you hook up with them and Warren G?

5.  In 2000, Death Row advertised your solo album coming soon.  How close was that album to being completed?  Was there album art, tracklisting, etc? With WideAwake buying all of Death Row's old material, have they contacted you at all about possibly releasing your old Death Row album?

6.  A few years later, Daz ended up releasing your 'unreleased' Death Row album.  How close was that album with the original Death Row album that was originally going to be released?

7.  There are several unreleased songs featuring yourself and Mac Shawn floating around the net.  What's the story with these songs? Was there a collaboration album in the works at one point, or were you just working on his death row solo album?

8.  What kind of cologne do you wear?

9.  How did you end up getting off of Death Row records?  When you filed bankruptcy, did that make your contract null and void?  Do you still get kickbacks from Death Row songs you produced or does Suge get all the publishing money from those songs?

10.  When you first started out, you were known as "Priest Soopafly Brooks".  What made you decide to shorten your name to just "Soopafly", and is 'Priest your real name?

11.  Which do you prefer more, rapping or producing?

12.  You were one of Death Row's major producers during 2Pac's tenure on the label, yet, you didn't produce/guest on much of his work.  I always thought this was odd, any reason why?

13.  In 2003, you were slated to release an album on Doggystle Records titled "Big Willie Dynamite".  What happened with that album and how close were you to completing it?  Have any of those tracks ended up on other albums?

14.  Have you ever nailed Latoiya Williams?

15.  Back in the day, you were Daz's right hand man, but the last few years, it seems like you have become Snoop's right hand man and there had been some distance between you and Daz.  Now you and Daz seem to be working together again regularly.  Why were you and Daz not working together for a while, was it because of Daz's beef with snoop?

16.  You seemed to be backing Latoiya Williams pretty hard a few years ago.  She guested on many of your songs and you were producing an album of hers.  Now lately, we haven't heard much from her.  How close was her album to being completed and are you still actively trying to get her record out, or has she moved on to other things?  Is she still with Doggystyle records?

17.  What type of a workout regimen are you on?  How do you stay in such great shape?

18.  During the beef with kurupt, you and daz announced the formation of a new Dogg Pound with you replacing kurupt.  How did you feel about that at the time?  Did you think your new group was going to be as successful as the original Dogg Pound?  How close was that album to being completed?

19.  Some pretty harsh words were exchanged between you and kurupt during the beef.  Him and Daz made up pretty quickly and began making new music.  How did you two end up reconciling?  Did kurupt have to do or say anything to earn your respect/trust again?

20.  Could you give us one of your more humorous stories about having to put a woman in check?

21.  In your song "99 Problemz" you mention a list of problems you have, including IRS problems, foot problems, tooth problems, etc.  We all know you had a root canal, which would explain the tooth problems, but what kind of foot problems have you been having?

22.  Bad Lucc and Demani were together before you came along and made "The Westurn Union".  What made you decide to get with them as opposed to going solo or forming a group with Daz and Kurupt, or some other rappers?

23.  Are there going to be more Dubb Union albums in the future? Is it like a  Westside Connection thing, where you will each have your individual careers and only do the group thing every so often, or was this album just a one time deal?

24.  Did you enjoy working with Lucc and Damani?  Seems like you 3 all had different rap styles.  How was it being in the studio with them?  Was it difficult to get on the same page?

25.  You rap with many different styles.  You have gangsta songs, pimpin songs, feel-good summertime songs, and even songs you sing on.  What is your favorite type of song to perform?

26.  Are you dissapointed you haven't been able to crack into the mainstream and become well known like Snoop?  Or are you content to be more of a behind the scenes man?

27.  How do you make money to support yourself on a daily basis?  Do you get weekly paychecks from Doggystyle records even when you aren't making new tracks, or do you just get large lump sums for each song you produce?

28.  What type of clothes do you sport when you just do your daily activities, like grocery shopping.  In contrast, what type of clothes do you wear when you go out pimping?

29.  There are two songs of yours that have eluded collectors for a number of years.  One is called "50 Sac" and was slated to be on the Death Row Inside Out Compilation.  The other song was called Drug Thing and was supposed to be on Gangsta's Most Wanted Compilation CD.  Do you remember anything about either of these songs?

30.  I feel you, Too Short and Suga Free are the 3 rappers that come the hardest on these hoes.  Have you ever thought about forming a group with them, maybe called the Pimpin Union?  I know you've worked with Too Short before, but what about Suga Free?

31. About a month ago, an EP was released entitled "Gotta Get Tha Money".  It contained mostly released songs with the exception of two unreleased songs.  Did you have any input in the EP, or was that something that was just thrown together to generate some quick cash?

32. You have a new EP coming out titled "The One They Call Soopa".  What can you tell us about that album?  Why the decision to make it an EP instead of a full fledged album?  Will this be a digital only release, or will it be available in stores?

33. Your first single from the new EP features a man called "The Deacon".  Obviously a play off your old moniker "Priest".  Is this guy your new protege?  What can tell us about him?  Will he be on other songs of yours?

34.  Snoop Dogg had a song scheduled for Rhythm and Gangster entitled "It's Alright".  It ended up not being used on the album.  The song ended up on your album "Bangin Westcoast" and was titled "Come With Me".  It had the exact same lyrics, only instead of Snoop rapping the words, you were rapping them.  Who's version came first?  Also, how do you feel about other rappers recycling beats like that?  I noticed Kurupt recycled one of your unreleased Dubb Union beats for a song on his EP "Bacon and Eggs".

35. Bad Lucc had mentioned you had a done a song with Warren G and Brotha Lynch Hung.  Any truth to that rumor?  If so, will this song ever see the light of day?

[NillerTheKid]

Yeah, i mean i guess it depends on how comfortable the interviewer is with Fly.  I don't want Fly to think the interview is some kind of joke or anything.  I want this to be a serious in depth interview.  You know, if Fly is in a good mood, and the interviewer is having a good repoire with Fly, maybe at the end of the interview, he can ask a question about how he keeps his hoes in check or where he comes up with all these great bitch checking lyrics.  But he should do it at the end of the interview, that way, in case Fly gets mad and doesn't want to give away his secrets, we've got the majority of the important questions answered already.

28.  What type of clothes do you sport when you just do your daily activities, like grocery shopping.  In contrast, what type of clothes do you wear when you go out pimping?

No sweat, just trying to mix up the interview a bit.  I'm curious about his personal life as well as his professional life.  I think he'd respect the fact that the interview wouldn't focus 100% on his music career.  He's an interesting person outside the music business as well.  That's just some stuff i've always wanted to know.  I'm trying to make this interview a little different than the typical interviews Fly has done in the past.  I'm sure he'll answer those questions as well as the music questions.  It'd be nice to know things like what type of clothes and cologne he wears.  He obviously gets lots of ladies with his style and scent.  So if we can figure out his technique, perhaps we can duplicate his success with the hoes.

Just don't expect Soopafly to co-sign that. Didn't he say that this forum guy deserves to get his ass kicked when he was on ustream?

No he said he appreciated the support but if he comes with that gay shit he was gonna get crushed. That gay shit i suppose is just a misinterpretation by other board members of SoopaflyDPGC's dedication to the Hoe Checker.

Exactly, and i totally agree with Fly, if some gay shit came my way, i'd crush the dude too.  Not at one time was anything gay ever said about Soopafly from me.  It was just some haters on this board calling me gay and whatnot because I am a fan of Soopafly.  Then the very same people calling me gay would go and start threads about Game and Crooked I and do the exact same thing I do.  But I think that's all been pretty much eliminated by now.  Every now and then someone comes on here and tries to mess with me to get attention, i just ignore them and they're gone after a post or two, when they see i'm not responding.
