http://illuminati2g.webs.com/kaminterview.htm
Illuminati 2G caught up with Kam for a exclusive interview. We discuss the status of the Warzone album, his thoughts on Barack Obama, westcoast hip hop and many other social and political topics so check it out.
What have you been up to lately? I know you were on the West Fest Tour last year. How was the tour?
**. That tour was cool. We got a chance to Make a little "statement" (of WestCoast Unity in Hip-Hop/Rap) with that "mini-tour". & I got a chance to "Check the Pulse" of This Generation of Diverse Rap fans.
I know that Warzone is working on a new album. Any details that you can give about it or a release date?
**. Well that album has been DONE for months now, So honestly i'm just as "in the Dark" about if/when it's gonna be Released as YOU are! lol -i DON'T KNOW What's goin on with KOCH RECORDS & that album rite now.
What is a studio session like with 3 MC's like yourself, Goldie Loc and MC Eiht?
**. "FOGGY"! lol..(cuz u know i don't smoke). naw but we're just NATURAL. Each one of us just DO WHAT WE DO NATURALLY! Any PROFESSIONAL ARTIST is Naturally gon FEED OFF OF THE VIBE & ENERGY of Another PROFESSIONAL. So that's all we do. Of Course you know that "I" have a Different "IMAGE" than they do, so it's a Welcome-Challenge for me to have to be Creative enough (with my style) to Find the "Common-Ground" in Every Song-subject that I could express my "image" On.
What are your thoughts on how unified or maybe un unified the west coast is right now musically?
**. Where ever Our Unity (or lack of Unity) on the WestCoast (in this "Music Biz") Is right now, It Is just a Reflection of Where WE Are IN REAL LIFE! Today, RAPPERS ARE ACTUALLY THE LEADERS of Where "REAL LIFE" Will GO! -BECAUSE "WE" ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO THE YOUTH ARE REALLY LISTENING TO! -So "WE" are really the Ones TO BLAME for MOST of the DIS-UNITY in Our Community right now. WE (ARTISTS) DON'T KNOW THAT WE ARE BEIN MANIPULATED (Thru MONEY & FAME) BY WICKED-RACISTS WORLD-POWERS -To keep OUR PEOPLES' MINDS on a LOW (IGNORANT/SAVAGE) LEVEL! THE ENEMY HAS TURNED US INTO "PIED-PIPERS" WHO ARE DANCING OUR PEOPLE TO THEIR OWN "SLAUGHTER"!
What is the status of your upcoming solo album?
** I'm Constantly Writing & Workin on NEW SONGS, so it won't just be ONE SOLO ALBUM that i will be Releasin soon.. It will be a WAVE of Things coming in 2009 (GOD Willin).
Have you had a chance to get back in the studio with Dr. Dre to record anything else other than the Murder Dem Murderers track?
**. No I Haven't. My younger brother (Yung Bruh) has been doing alot of work over there with him for his Detox Album.
Has he approached you about being on Detox?
**. No Sir.
Are you and your brother Yung Bruh still going to do a album together and if so have you guys started recording anything yet?
**. YESSIR.. That's One of the "WAVES"..lol
Ok a little word association. 1st thing that comes to your mind with these topics or people.
Ice Cube
**. My Brotha
Paris
**. My Otha Brotha
Your thoughts on his last album Acid Reflex
**. Authentic Westcoast Revolutionary Rap!
Barack Obama
**. Needs All Of Our CONSTANT PRAYERS -for him & his Family.. & He "AINT" the ANSWER to BLACK PEOPLES' PROBLEMS, NOR is he The "REPARATIONS" for Our 400 years of SLAVERY!
Black History Month
**. NO SUCH THING
Black/Brown relations
**. WILL BE "FORCED TO IMPROVED" IN A FEW DAYS -AFTER WE ALL SEE WHAT THESE SATAN'S PLAN (& WILL DO TO US) SOON!
United States Of America
**. IS UNDER ALLAH'S(GOD'S) JUDGMENT RIGHT NOW! & PROBABLY WILL NOT EVEN EXIST IN JUST A FEW DAYS (YEARS).
Made In America
**. WAS "INTENTIONALLY SLEPT-ON".. JUST LIKE "NEVA AGAIN" WAS.
Kamnesia
**. WAS A GOOD "TRAINING" FOR ME.. IT TAUGHT ME THAT I COULD DO ALL OF MY ALBUMS/PROJECTS "INDEPENDENTLY".
How do you feel being Muslim has changed your music? If it has at all.
**. BEIN MUSLIM NEVER CHANGED MY MUSIC BECAUSE I WAS IN THE "NOI"(Nation Of Islam) BEFORE I WAS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.SO IF ANYTHANG, I WOULD SAY THAT MY 'BEING A MUSLIM' HAS "CHANGED THE INDUSTRY", Not Changed Any of My Music! ha
Do you have any upcoming shows or tour dates?
**. Yeah, but just Spot-Dates.. Nothin worth putting in an interview.
Your Top 5 rappers dead or alive.
**. Rakim, Ice Cube, Chuck D, Furious 5-(Melle Mel), BizMarkie
Appreciate the interview, any last words or shoutouts?
**. ALL THANKS & PRAISE IS DUE TO "ALLAH" (IN THE PERSON OF MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD.. IN THE PERSON OF THE MOST HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD.. IN THE PERSON OF THE HONORABLE LOUIS FARRAKHAN.. & IN THE PERSON(S) OF ALL RIGHTEOUS HUMAN BEINGS! -GOD IS IN MAN, & MAN IS GOD!

It's dope to see that Kam and Cube have apparantley worked out their issues.
A Kam and Cube joint would def be off the chain.
-
Kam, Hip-Hop legend.
Defo one of the all-time greats on the mic with the skills.
-

Oh man that would be crazy.
-
Detox is coming before Kam's soloalbum ;D
-
it's "hard" to read the interview with all those *°ç_/&%$%£"*°ç_/&%$%£"*°ç_/&%$%£"*°ç_/&%$%£"*°ç_/&%$%£"
-
Looks like warzone will never come out.I wasn't sure why kam was in the group he's not really the same kind of artist as eiht and goldie.the way he was talking about trying to fit in with the group seems like he means he had to water down his image and be more cookie cutter like say goldie loc is
-
That's what's I'm saying.I wasn't looking forward to warzone anyways with a couple of never was has Beens like eiht and goldie loc and snoop over seeing the project no fucking thanks.
-
I Got a CRAZY beat on one of his projects , i cant wait , i really love that mans words , i can really relate to his realness and the way he wants people to wake up
Vincent Bladt.
-
thanks for the interview. well if the wazone album is done then surely snoop should be focusing on releasing it rather than hanging about wit paris hilton
-
i actually wanna hear the warzone project
-
Well well..I knew warzone wasn't droppin..I guess it will be on datpiff.com soon...maybe nik bean can host it
For one snoopy knows it won't even sell 10,000....what is dub unions numbers right now ?
Muthafuckas kill me with the unity thing...true enough rap has a influence of the minds of the youth...but check me out...rap only has about 25% influence..the tv and media has more influence than music...reason being is that world control and influence is done by visual..
Why should evrybody get along..that's for niggas who's scared of violence..violence has been here from day 1 of mankind..violence = survival...FACT !!!! Everyone has dislikes..and if you are unifying with somebody you really don't like..you are less than a person to be hiding your true feelings...like pac say we could neva be friends again...
Niggas from the west need to stick behind what they mean,say and feel....majority of these niggas hate on the niggas who keep it 100...
Damn seems like kam is in the dark on his warzone situation..I mean I thought while the westcoast was westfestinwith all that fake shit..warzone did have a release date...sorry to say kam that was a bad marriage...you tight as fuck but you are a political rapper..the other 2 are gang bang dope slangin murder rappers...
Kam needs to drop something..he would out sell the warzone by himself..eiht has been gettin slaughtered by that mako capone dude.he won't even respond to mako.I think mako is a real o/g in compton.cause its not like eiht to be hiding like this. Goldie loc is tight. Also..jus a bad move for the 3...honestly I think snoop jus stole their vibes..well gotta go..got to free some slaves..google me.robert smalls
-
so, how many warzone songs was released?
-
thanks for interview. I hope warzone comes out, i like all three mc's, still seems like a unballanced mismatch but iam sure that it would be at least a "decent' album worth hearing.
-
Well from what Kam is saying all that is needed now is just a single and release date. I personally agree with Luna, I want to hear the Warzone album. The songs on Goldie's street album that they did were fire.
-
^ & I really felt that "Shackled Up" track from The Big Squeeze
-
Have you had a chance to get back in the studio with Dr. Dre to record anything else other than the Murder Dem Murderers track?
**. No I Haven't. My younger brother (Yung Bruh) has been doing alot of work over there with him for his Detox Album.
wtf? Looks like everyone is working on Dre's new album.
Can Dre please start producing his own music again, for fucks sake.

Very good interview, it's cool to have news of Kam.
I doubt about if the Warzone album will drop... the "Murder Dem Murderers" was the shit !! Nobody got a CDQ of this track or the version with Snoop ?
-
one of my all time faves....been waitin on kam for too long.....
he got dudes like jinx, pooh, tela and cat at his disposal....just drop that solo album
