a bit from the HIPHOPDX interview

DX: You had the definitive Jeep-beat song, “Whutcha Want?,” and two well-received solo albums in the mid-‘90s, so why did it appear to the general public that you went M.I.A. after that?

Nine: Well what happened was, I don’t know if people are aware but Profile Records went defunct, and they were being sold to Arista Records. Now, the guy who worked at Arista that wanted the artists from Profile, he wanted me, Smoothe Da Hustler, Camp Lo and the whole thing. Profile Records held up the sale haggling over the rights to the Run-DMC catalog with Arista. So by the time the deal went through, four years later, I had a lot of people sounding like me - that took the style and ran with it, and was very successful with it. And also at the same time, the person who worked at Arista got fired. When we got there he didn’t know what to do with us. So I had to turn in like some little demo for them. And then I hired Fred Davis as my lawyer, to get me free. I wasn’t actually free to record or do anything until almost the beginning of 2001. And by that time, I’m going to labels – ‘cause I still had that old school way of thinking. I thought, I’ll make some songs, I’ll take it to a label, they know my track record, I’ll be on. And it wasn’t happening. I was walking in places and they were telling me I sounded like [DMX and Ja Rule]. It was buggin’ me out. I’m like, “Y’all need to check the timeline on that.” But, [Ja Rule] was real popular with [the sing-song style] at the time, so that’s the direction they wanted to go in. So I basically stopped around 2002. I started doing the Lugz commercials. Me and Flex still kept in touch, so I did the beats for his Lugz commercials. And [I also did] little behind the scenes things for other artists and stuff. It wasn’t ‘til I’d say the end of 2005, maybe [2006], when I realized that age don’t matter, I can still do this, and I still wanted to do it again. So I just started to work at it again as if I was a new artist. I didn’t think about what I did, I didn’t listen to old records, I just started to rebuild again. It took a minute, but anything you want bad enough [requires] persistence. I’ma be the poster child for persistence with what I’m trying to do.
