Battlecat Update: Talks About B-Sharp/213 Lawsuit/New Projects

[Nima - Dubcnn.com]

Battlecat aka B-Sharp aka BC Powder took a few minutes out of his busy schedule to clear up a few things with us. First off the whole B-Sharp thing on the 213 album.

"B-Sharp man, that's me. BC Powder, that's me. Battlecat, that's me. It's just different sides and aspects of me. I love it, when people say "Who's that B-Sharp dude, he sounds like Battlecat". I'm just trying out new things, new sounds, and the 213 album was just the first LP of me as B-Sharp. You gonna see B-Sharp, again, cause I'm sharp man, anybody that knows me knows I'm sharp. I'ma be Battlecat too, it's all me man."

And about the whole 213 Lawsuit thing, which caused alot of controversy, he explained that it's strictly business.
"I had to sue 'em! They put out the record without havin' the contract finished! I gotta get my money man, it ain't no personal problems. I did the music, i gotta get paid. Ain't no beef or no nothin' that muthafuckas be tryna tell you. It's business homie!

And as far as his music goes, he's been putting the finishing touches on his little brother Mykestro's album, aswell as getting ready to work on the new Tony Toni Tone album, and more.

Look for our indepth interview with 'Cat up in near future!

Sounds a little strange to me..
If I was Snoop's in-house producer and didn't get money for some tracks, I would have said "Hey Snoop, you got that $crilla for those tracks I did for you on the 213 album ?", and then Snoop goes "Shizzle B Sharpizzle, let me just get my checkbook and we can do dizz".

You'd think that taking it to court would be the last option when you're as close as Snoop & Battlecat seems to be..
Battlecat isn't the first one who claim that Snoop isn't paying his people though..

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

Battlecat aint Snoop's in house producer...and I think the lawsuit was just a reminder to get his money lol

[TOOTHBRUSH]

or maybee its to get his royalties from the label..not just money from snoop

On a completely unrelated note. 


There is no such thing as a B sharp in music.  A B sharp is a C, because there's only a half step between a B and a C, not a full step.  Now, I'm not saying that makes the guy a dumbass who named himself that, maybe he knew it full well and that's part of the draw of the name.  It is interesting, though.   There's also no C flat, no E sharp, and no F flat for the same reason.

Anybody know the guy's gang affiliation? If he's a blood, named B-sharp, I wonder how he would feel knowing his name is really "C" ? LOL HILARIOUS

I guess Battlecat don't have any problem with Crips though everybody around him is one.

Well damn, that's not as funny then.  Battlecat sounds ... um... 'less crazy' than he did last interview you did!
