probably interviewed in 2007 based on his comments, back when he was still on the math
How to Rap: Have you picked up any tips from anyone else?Bishop Lamont: Definitely Busta Rhymes, Dre always got some magic for you, not really outside of them… Elzhi, T3, Black Milk, Kardinal Offical, it’s always some kinda flavors from architects, some dope architects like that, Stat Quo. There’s a few that’s on the same page with understanding rapping in key. Because cats be sounding so garbage over their beats because they don’t realize keys, they don’t understand tones, you have to approach it the same way you approach an R&B record, that’s why motherfuckers be shouting over records that they shouldn’t be shouting over, they be sounding all raspy over shit they shouldn’t sound raspy over. They have no understanding of keys and tones and adjusting to compliment the beat. So I think collectively they’ve all shown me different aspects of that.How to Rap: So you try to match the pitch of the music with your voice?Bishop Lamont: Any smart motherfucker should!
How to Rap: What’s more important to you, the subject matter or the flow you’re using?Bishop Lamont: Subject matter is always… but it’s a marriage, it’s a two-way street, so both have to be above and beyond, it has to be perfect.
"now that you’re working with Dre and everything?"have you been living under a rock Rud?

Perhaps "now that youve had experience working with Dre and everything?" would be more fitting. Otherwise, good interview!
