Title: DUBCNN: Kokane Interview Part 2!
Post by: Brazemac on May 14, 2008, 12:55:03 AM
Sorry about the long wait but I decided to drop part 2 and 3 as a bigger part 2 version instead.
So here is the entire thing for you guys 8)

Dubcnn hooked up with Kokane recently for the first time in two years to conduct an in-depth interview about his upcoming projects but ended up going back in time to the Ruthless era and Kokane shared some of his memorable stories with us about the past. The interview was over an hour long so we decided to drop the interview in 2 parts.

This second part continues with Kokane talking about Ruthless Records, Eazy E and Death Row. We also discuss his current projects with Suga Free, Raine N Lane N Kokane as well as getting the latest on working with Dr. Dre.

Kokane goes in-depth about his working process in the studio, what his family means to him and how it helps him through hard times, and of course we talk about his upcoming solo album. We also get some words on his time on Dogghouse Records with Snoop Dogg and why that didn't go the way it was supposed to go, and his relationship with Snoop now. Those are only a few of the topics we touch on in this in-depth interview.

And to those who were complaining about the long wait, I hope ya'll realize why that was lol, just look at the length of that shit!

But about the interview, I always feel like Kokane comes across very honest and sincere in his interviews, he doesn't seem to put up an act or anything, which is rare these days to me.

yep; i'm thinking about making a topic that's somehow related to what you just said.

not sure if i'll do it, as i'm not sure it whether it would start a discussion.

well i'm not worried about the negativity, it's just that i've made a few topics before that were also intended to start a discussion  ;)
the results weren't satisfying, and the topics died fast  ;)

anyway, i'm glad you're interested  :)

Exactly what I was thinking... Kokane sounds like a real honest dude. No bullshit like most rappers nowadays. I'm really looking forward to this new album. Yash asked the right questions. Especially the High Power question about a quality product. Great interview Yash! You can now return to your GTA4 game. Well done  ;D

kokane definitely comes off rare for a rapper in an interview, and thats a good thing.  definitely sounds like he got his head on straight and got good shit planned and is doing well.

I think theres a mix up about High Powered Entertainment....theres 1 run by John Silva from the Northwest and another by Mr Capone-E which are the ones who put out the Bizzy Solo. High Powered Ent from Seattle actually put out good stuff...they dropped that Spice 1 album, Killa Tay, and that last Daz compilation that came out..I dont think they ever signed Bizzy or Layzie to deals.
