Bishop Lamont really appreciates the support he's received from all of our readers on here, and he wants to extend the love back to you in the form of a new contest we're starting today. We will conduct a new video interview with Bishop before the release of "The Pope Mobile," and we're going to let you ask all of the questions! Head over to our forum now, or go to Bishop's Myspace Page (make sure to put "DUBCNN Contest" somewhere on the comment) to submit questions you've been dying to get answered. The people with the top 29 best questions will get an answer directly from Bishop on video! This is an end-of-the-year holiday contest you don't want to miss, so start coming up with some good questions. The contest ends on December 20th, 2007 at 12:00 AM PST, just five days before the release of "The Pope Mobile." Include your name if you want it shouted out, otherwise we'll just use your forum name.
I know you guys have got some good questions, so let's do this!
*Update Dec. 20: Thanks to everyone who sumbitted questions. The contest is closed!*

Being a funny character and always adding a sense of humour in your songs , have you ever considered or do u plan to play in some comedy flicks , you know something like Friday ..

Nice Eddie, here are my questions:
- couple months ago you mentioned that you are going to NY for studio sessions with RZA, Primo and Just Blaze. How did that turn out and who will make the cut ?
- is it true that Dre spits a verse on I Dominate and when exactly are you planning on launching that record ?
- is the concept of your 2nd album still the "Dre and Stroch producing the whole album" and called The Impossible Possible ?
- I saw Xzibit on your release party and chance of a collabo ?
- what's the deal with I'll Still Kill from 50, was that originally your track
-
I don't really follow every step from Bishop Lamont, so I could be wrong with this. He's going to have a bunch of different producers and guests on his album right? Ask him how he wants to make his album his album and not some compilation album where you skip at least 6 songs.
-
Bishop... How did you Glasses Malone, and Mykestro meet. And what was it about your chemistry together that made you all want to start a group? Are there any songs done for the project? And can I produce a track for it!!!lol No seriously, who's doing the production on that project?
-
What does Aftermath have planned as far as the line up before DETOX (like Stat Quo, Eminem, Busta Rhymes & Eve)?
Will DETOX have some timeless pieces like "Nothin' But a G-Thang" or "What's The Diferrence"?
How many songs will Dre produce for "The Reformation"?
Have you (Bishop) recorded with DJ Premier, RZA or Pete Rock?
What's going on with Joell Ortiz and Interscope?
Does Dre still plan to use the 12 Step program as the theme for DETOX?
How close is DETOX to being completed?
Shout out name: Ameen (aka Rebel)
-
Any chance of some big Westcoast collabs on The Reformation? Like Game?
Who do you wish to collaborate with the most?
Peimi .. Reppin Denmark ..
(pronounced Pay Me)
-
BTW, include your name if you want it shouted out, otherwise we'll just use your forum name.
-
Do you plan to (or can you?) release Nigger Noise without the DJ Skee tags (i'd pay top dollar for it)....it is the album of the year hands down....
-
Whatever happened to the Return To The Purple Tape (Hosted by Raekwon & RZA) mixtape?
What is Raekwon's status with Aftermath? Is he still signed?
How does he feel about Jimmy Iovine saying that he didn't want Joell Ortiz on the label anymore?
Can he tell us anything about Glasses Malone's album?
Whith some of the announced producers & guests for Reformation now just on Caltroit & Pope Mobile, what is the guest/producer lineup for The Reformation now?
Who is going to be on the Feel On It Remix?
What is his opinion on people who say Eminem actually made it harder for more white rappers to blow up? Are there any white rappers in particular that he's a fan of?
Is it true you ghostwrote Dre's verse on Timbaland's album?
Can he fill us in on any other Aftermath projects coming up?
Does he ever worry that he may end up kicked off with no album like many other disgruntled Interscope artists before him? Has he ever had conversations with any artists that were formerl signed to Interscope?
Does he belive that Jimmy Iovine is hated on too much or does he think the rage is understandable?
-
1. Some people feel that rap has taken a turn for the worse since it's become highly commercialized. Do you agree? If so, what will it take to bring rap back to it's roots?
2. How do you feel that "club rap" (ex: Rap talking about a club, drinking, and ass for a whole song)? Can you have a successful album without this kind of material in your single?
3. Do you plan on making more music relating to the state of the West Coast similar to "My Inheritance"?
4. What album(s) would you compare "The Reformation" to?
5. What do you think about Crooked I's hip hop weekly?
-
Contest? WTF,anyways I´ll submit these again....
Any last minute questions for BISHOP LAMONT?
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=158063.0
But here´s a couple of questions;
-You have said in previous interviews that you have been involved with all the aspects of Hip Hop,
does this include Graffiti and Breaking? (Elaborate,if yes)
-Another thing I noticed in your lyrics is that you´re a Star Wars fan,just like Ras Kass.
Is this something you will use more in your lyrics? Maybe doing a tribute?
-Will your album have a more "commercial" appeal than your street albums,
or will Dre allow you to do the same style as you did on Nxgger Noize?
-Adding some new ones,who did your graffiti backdrop for your video? (I´m yet to see the video,since it´s not out yet)
-Since you´re "Hip Hop" MC and probably highly featured on Detox,will Detox have a more Hip Hop twist to it rather than "gangster".
-Do you see resurgence of "Hip Hop"? I mean you,Taje and Evidence that have all released dope albums that the "Hip Hop" heads love.
and a fun question;
-will you do a duet with Chad Vader? Maybe a remix of chocolate Rain? :laugh: I know you love the casio on that track :laugh::laugh:
Chocolate Rain by Chad Vader

what kinda production can we expect on ur next release?
-
when we gonna hear bishop's link up with dj q-u-i-k?
when are the fiends gonna get to hear this 'i dominate' track? is it on the mixtape?
manage to link up with primo for any cuts?
will dre make sure interscope/aftermath will be pulling out all the stops to PROMOTE your album properly? I can't remember the last time an artist was really pushed and came out with the right single etc...
is there anyone we are waiting on coming out before your lp will be clear to go?
any chance of a gig in the uk before or when everything starts popping off?
honestly, what do you think your release will help to accomplish more long term? either bringing westcoast rap back to the forefront or getting authentic hip-hop material into the public arena...
-
when you were in the UK were you able to link-up with any UK artists to record?
which UK rappers are you feeling?
have you been pressured into making any songs you didnt want to make? you are signed to Interscope, and we know who they have on their "hip-hop" roster.
When should we expect the album?
Can you tell us the status of Raekwon and Joell Ortiz, are they on the 'Math or have they gone?
thats pretty much it...
-
^yeh, i saw that. i was wondering if he recorded any tracks with rappers from the UK
-
I think EVERYBODY wants to know when we'll be hearing "I dominate" and what's the release date for the album .. so if u can have details on it (basically the month of release) and not the typical "it's coming soon" answer , it would be great..

Let me guess... "I Dominate" is produced by Dr. Dre?

That, and he raps on it....go figure lol
-
How do you have the patience to wait 4 years to release an album?
-
He got singed in 2nd half of 05. So, it's more like 2 years.

this has nothing to do with Dre being involved .. I'm just curious to hear a song which is "album material" , even if it'll probably be one of the weakest song on the album .. Dre hasn't dropped heat since 2003 so I'm not expected a "Still Dre" type of single

But probably won't release his album till 2009. :P

Man... you know just as well as I do that when you hear that song you will take off your panties, look at your Eiffel Tower and then stroke it like you've never stroked it before.

who much dust have you accumulated durring your stay at aftermath entertainment?
-
Yo bishop
Any organized tours, live shows or trips overseas or in the USA planned?
especially to Australia?
Heme from Australia
-
Tell homeboy he needs to come an do a show in San Diego.
-
Do you plan on doing any collabos with Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Snoop, Game? You said you had various producers on your album, despite Dre being an obvious hitmaker do you plan on releasing a non-dre produced single for The Reformation? Had the Aftermath deal not fallen through, and you signing to Rocafella, do you think your album would of been released by now? What other producers do you plan on working with?
-
how does he really feel about the radio dj's out here on the west coast,and do they give artist hear a fair shot. yell
-
Is there any truth to the supposed DETOX single "What You Got" featuring you, Eminem and Xzibit coming end of December? If so, don't you think that it's way too early to release a single for DETOX?
-

Radio DJ's don't even pick what music to play on the radio anymore. It is all done by program directors know.
-
-In the dubcnn interview from march 2005 you said that whether you get a record deal or not, you would release Who I Gotta Kill To Get A Record Deal Vol. 2. as of today, it has not been released; do you still plan to release it?
-Dre has the area 51 policy when it comes to detox, can you tell us if Dre is going to change that policy, as the album comes closer to completion?
-
With all all of the constant delays what do the other artists feel about Aftermath right now?
-
-Dre has the area 51 policy when it comes to detox, can you tell us if Dre is going to change that policy, as the album comes closer to completion?
I like how you compared Area 51 to Detox. Both are highly secretive projects that don't exist.
-
lol ^
And btw if my questions make it to the interview Im called Peimi (pronounced Pay Me).. Reppin Denmark .. Get that in there .. :D
oh yeah and wtf yall.. try to ask questions bout him or his releases ..
Its not his job to adress any Aftermath related situation .. fo real...
-
^Edit your original post with your name so we get that in there.
-
I have one more:
- You keep dissing todays rap music, saying it's formulated and dumbed down. But don't you feel that you've dumbed down your flow on Feel On It, meaning that you rapped a lot slower than you usually do.

good question, fits well with this one:
-Will your album have a more "commercial" appeal than your street albums,
or will Dre allow you to do the same style as you did on Nxgger Noize?
if you look at all the bishop interviews and (upcoming) streetalbums, you can see what his view is of current rap music. and then it's not that hard to conclude that a track like Feel on it, seems out of place for him.
i'm not saying that in general it's bad to be signed to a major label; but i don't see how bishop can please interscope and be himself on the album, at the same time.
Dre] was like, 'The only other cat that made me uncomfortable was Em,' " Lamont told MTV recently. "I got this other [song] called 'Street Theology,' and it's just looking at religion. [Dre] was like, 'I don't know, you talking about spitting from the Good Book and [sex acts]. I don't know.' ... My auntie is a minister. I got a lot of family in the Mosque. It's the same thing as it is in the streets, but the kids gotta relate to it. ... [Dre] said, 'I'm uncomfortable, but it's good
-
Hey Bishop
what job did you have before you were signed?
also obviously your now 29 and any older you were getting into the rap game was a lil late.
how much longer would you have pushed to get signed you think?
and if not what do you think you would be doing if you never got signed?
Heme from Australia
-
All Crooked I fans were surprised he wasn't on that Caltroit project. Any chance of a new collabo between you and Crooked I? Will he even be on your debut album? I'd love to see that since I think you're the best rappers from the Westcoast! What else could I say... Nig*** Noize was hot, Caltroit was hot... Man when will the album drop? ;D
-
Damn, it's already the 19th! You've got until midnight tonight to get any last questions in!
-
- It seems like you really don't care much about beefs, for example you had both Royce da 59 and Mista Fab on Caltroit. How do you feel about those beefs in general? And did you had any beef last years?
- Altough you can't compare N*gger Noize with Caltroit cause the concept is too different, which street album do you enjoy more?
- Were you able to put everyone you wanted on Caltroit? Or can we expect later featurings with those artists?
- Which artists should we expect to be on your next mixtapes?
- Are there any upcoming albums were you will feature on a track?
- The music that you make now on Aftermath, do you like that more than the music you used to make when you were unsigned?
- Any plans on (new) featurings with Scipio, Prime and Indef? You made dope tracks with them, those type of rappers fits well on your tracks I'd say.
- What are your favorites rappers right now? And what music you're listening to lately?
- From which artists did you learn the most in the past years?
- Any plans on touring around the world?
If any of my (wack english) questions make it to the interview, shout me out! CIOS from Holland!
-
Thanks to everyone who sumbitted questions. The contest is closed!
-
so any update on this?
anyone else notice that the dude straight jacked a lot of your guys's questions from the interview contest on the forum?
-
its coming
-
LMAO, that quote from me was from another thread. Some dude did an interview on bishop-lamont.com and asked A LOT of the questions you guys posted in here almost word for word. So dude just came in this forum and used those questions that we were gonna use for this interview. ::)
-
Are you goin to work with producers like Fredwreck, Daz or Battlecat??
