great feature
This your type of interview Vader
Chocolate:Ok, that’s good. I see that you do pretty good research.Raptalk.Net:I appreciate that.Chocolate:That’s part of it what you do. When you do an interview, it’s good for you to ask questions and investigate.Raptalk.Net:I always do.Chocolate:You know what I mean? You’re on point. I’m just letting you know that is cool.Sometimes people ask questions that have been addressed too many times.People don’t go research and investigate, check it out.They still stick with the old stuff. I’m with that. Let’s do it, what you talking about?
Raptalk.Net: What do you think of the process he’s going through now to try and regain his original voice back twenty years later? Chocolate: (Laughs) you know that’s crazy, my mom had told me he went over and had dinner with her about a month ago. He was telling her that he was about to go and have surgery. I’m hoping that could happen. If that could happen, I think the west coast would really change. D.O.C. right to this day is one of the best lyricists in my book.
Raptalk.Net: I feel you. You lived with The D.O.C. and everything, so what were the days like around Jerry Heller? Chocolate: I didn’t spend time around Jerry [Heller] until after I had moved out with D.O.C. and got my own place. This is after “Ice Ice Baby” blew up and I finally got paid and got money and I ended up getting me a home and moved out of the D.O.C.’s place. I didn’t deal with Jerry [Heller] until I was producing for Eazy-E over at Ruthless. That’s when I had to deal with Jerry. It was all strictly business and I never ever dealt with Jerry on any personal shit. It was all about the artists I was working with over at Ruthless. That was that. I never had a problem with Jerry. He never did…well; I can’t say he never did some shit. He only did one thing to me that I thought was pretty shitty. He booked me into the studio with two different artists. He had told me to lie to the other group on some bullshit. He wanted me to be prepared for a lie that I couldn’t tell to the artists I was dealing with. He tried to book me into the sessions and didn’t pay for one and had one of the groups sitting there waiting on me and they think I’m supposed to be there. I’m over at another studio doing work that I’m being paid for. And they end up getting mad at me thinking I left them hanging, but in actuality, Jerry never paid for that studio time. So, he put me in one bad position only. That’s the truth. Other than that, I never dealt with Jerry. I dealt with Eazy [E] during that whole time.
