Knoc-Turn'Al talks Dr. Dre unreleased music from the "2001 album, guest appearances, new west and much more! Shouts out to SoPrupRadio, ChronicVacation and Illuminati2G for supporting this series!
Raptalk.Net: Booz wants to know, "how would you describe yourself in real life?"
Knoc-Turn'Al: As a real motherfucker. And Thank you Booz, you're a real motherfucker for asking me that (laughs). And I'm a family man indeed.
Raptalk.Net: Dubsmith_AZ asks, "what's your favorite track that you worked on that nobody got to hear? Why didn't we get to hear it?"
Knoc-Turn'Al: I think it was a track called "Gangsta Mack" that I did with Dr. Dre. It was supposed to be for the Chronic 2001 album. The reason why it was never heard was because [Dr.] Dre changed his engineer at the time and they had some dispute about whatever, and then my album had a release date so we couldn't get it out.
Raptalk.Net: That's pretty dope right there. BloodMoney2009 says, "Who are your favorite up and coming artists from the West? Which of them would you work with?
Knoc-Turn'Al: I would say up and coming artists from the west...maybe Noah Jones, Glasses Malone, Knawledg, Jaguar, Ripacut, J-Beam (laughs).
Raptalk.Net: The MathMadix baby!
Knoc-Turn'Al: (starts singing) MathMadix in the house and the bitch won't go!
Raptalk.Net: That's the business! Kurupt4Life wants to know, "You did a recent track with Crooked I titled 3 Bitches. I was quite angry that you didn't lay a verse on it. Any chance you'll be working with Crooked I again, and this time will we hear a Knoc-Turn'Al verse?
Knoc-Turn'Al: You can ask Crooked I about being angry about me not having a verse. I didn't have a verse because that's how Crooked I wanted the structure of his song to be. That was him, for his project. He needed a hook for me and he had the rest. Of course I'll be working with him again, that's my label-mate. At the same time, that was his song. It wasn't for my album. I just did what the man needed me to do.
Raptalk.Net: Matty wants to know, "Do you have any upcoming guest spots on any albums?"
Knoc-Turn'Al: There's a few people that I've done some things with but you know, it's all about...people don't understand it's about politics and what people want to put on their album. I don't have time to go back and forth. Either they wanna' do it or they don't. I can do all the music in the world, but if they come with some shady paperwork or something, then I'll just be like ok, forget it.
Enjoy and stay tuned to Next Monday for another edition in "Answers from the Book of Knoc."

Good stuff!
For the next interview, I would like to know what his favorite party record is. On a more serious note: how hard is it to maintain your integrity and personal values when you want to 'make it' in the music industry?

Mista Rosa & G-Bee, your questions have been written down! I can't promise that they'll be asked next week, but I can promise they'll be answered by Knoc in this series!
-
Y'all think it's too short? Are Knoc's answers too short or is 5 questions not enough? If so, how many questions a week do you think we should be doing? Let your voice be heard 'cause i'm listening!
On top of that, I'll keep it real: me and knoc didnt have a lot time to do this edition..

i wouldn't say that Knoc's answers are short, cause he seems to be very good at giving detailed answers.
the thing is, you could increase the amount of questions, but will it create more balance?
i mean, if you have a certain minimum of questions that need to be asked every week, the size of the output will still vary.
off course you could have a variable amount of questions & only have a high a mount of questions when the total length of the answers is relatively short,
but what about the actual content?
it's a tough puzzle :laugh:

lunatic i understand youre trying to get people to remember knocturnal and be looking out for his new cd thats supposed to come out, but these questions have gotten pretty boring. you need to get him to drop a couple new songs on here so people can actually hear his new shit, these questions are almost always about him back in the days

I like the segment, but yeah he needs to do a Crooked I and let off some of his material from Treacherous.

short but, cool stuff, and just like every other week: thanx again,.. are you running out of questions? because I got the feeling every questions that i wanted to be answered by Knoc-Turn'Al has been answered? exept maybe this question: in the song WAR with Slip Capone some of Knoc-Turn'al lyrics are:
I don't respect presidents unless he dead
They can feed my wife and daughter and keep the homies fed
Stay on top of game and dodge the feds
No bullshit involved, no politics
I put in work while you pop your lips
I ride for this, a soldier in this bitch
i wonder if Knoc still has the same ideas about this
now there's a new president.
Ok, I got a question for you: did you made that cover in your sig, is this going to be the real cover?
and how big do you think the chance is that the book will drop this summer, i know Knoc is getting alot of attention now, but his label-mate crooked I had alot of attention with his weekly freestyle’s and still no album

we're FAR from running out of questions, we have so many still! I'll file your new questions..

Gutterman: You still have these 2 questions to be answered:
1. How was it working with DJ AK and how did the relationship come about? Any chance of seeing him on your album playing the tube?
2. You produced the Intro, Radio Skit and War on The Way I Am. Will you be producing on The Book of Knoc?
I'll add the "War" question. That as of right now, (my sig) is the real front cover.
I think Knoc has the best chance to drop his album this summer ever than before because Treacherous is noticing the buzz we are creating..
