Title: Glasses Malone: Cash Money or Cash Out - AllHipHop.com Interview
Post by: Styles1 on March 02, 2010, 02:01:42 PM
Here's my latest with Mr. Malone

http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2010/03/01/22137724.aspx

Watts, CA native Glasses Malone with his grizzly slow rhyme-style which he refers to as a steady moving Beach Cruiser flow, has been waiting in the wings to blow up since he signed his $1.7 million dollar deal with Sony a few years back. With the backing of Sony, it looked like Malone was set to become the next big national face from the West Coast, however Sony decided that it wanted out of the Urban market and dumped it's entire division dedicated to it temporarily leaving him without a home. Glasses began his hunt looking for a new outlet to put out his album, The Beach Cruiser, and soon found help from West Coast veteran Mack 10 and his Hoo-Bangin' Records company who in turn took the promising star to Baby & Slim's Cash Money Records. Things looked good for Malone at his new home as his single “Certified” featuring Akon took to Southern California radio and soon found itself on rotation in other stations around the country and it appeared as though The Beach Cruiser album was shortly on it's way. Months after the “Certified” single, the album was pushed back and has been time after time since 2008 when we last spoke to Glasses Malone & Mack 10 in an exclusive interview. Glasses Malone is armed with hope though as he's gone back to the drawing board for The Beach Cruiser album and still has the backing of Cash Money Records. AllHipHop.com met up with the self -proclaimed “President of the New West” out in Long Beach, Ca to talk about his album and get the story on what's been going on with his career since we last spoke with him.


AllHipHop.com: The last time we at AllHipHop.com caught up with you, we were at your “Certified” video shoot in 2008 with Mack 10. You were preparing to release your album The Beach Cruiser on Cash Money Records but since then it's been continually delayed. Why has your album been pushed back so much?

Glasses Malone: It has to do with not having a chart topping single. When you are with Cash Money Records, you've got to have a chart topping single. None of my singles have done that and when you're with a number one label, you've got to have the number one goods. Hopefully my next single “I Get Doe” will chart.

AllHipHop.com: Does that mean if your next single doesn't chart, your album will not come out at all?

Glasses Malone: If my single doesn't hit the top 70 or 80, it's not coming out.

AllHipHop.com: So there is that chance that we will never hear The Beach Cruiser album.

Glasses Malone: You are going to see the album regardless because if it ever gets to that point, I will put the album out myself. But yes, there is that chance that it might not come out on Cash Money Records. I respect Baby and Slim as businessmen and they have a certain level of expectations as they should. Lil Wayne set the bar high and Drake came in and matched it with his songs and and then came Kevin Rudolf and Jay Sean. You either get in line or you get out.

AllHipHop.com: “Certified” with Akon was a big song that received some nice radio play. Did that song not chart well enough for your album to be put out at that time?

Glasses Malone: It charted in the 70's but they wanted to released a second single because they felt that they jumped on it late and it could have been bigger. The label wanted to keep that momentum going with a second single and then drop the album but “Haters” didn't chart. Lil Wayne then came out and everything was about Lil Wayne at that time. That was probably the best education that you could get as an artist, being next to someone that sold a million records. I just sat back and watched it all. 2008 became my tutorial year.

AllHipHop.com: I imagine with the album pushed back so many times that you've re-recorded it several times by now.

Glasses Malone: I re-did the whole album completely in December of 2009. All I kept from the original album was “Certified” and “Sun Come Up.” I made the album straight from the street. When you think of Cash Money, you think of getting the top name producers and the biggest features for your records. I did that and honestly I thought that I lost myself in doing so. I wasn't making West Coast music. I was making music for everybody, instead of making music for here (the West Coast) first. When I came back from the tour with Tech N9ne back in October, I came back with the right mind-state. My A & R Pun took my music back to the streets of California. When I took the album to Baby and played it for him and Lil Wayne back in January, they were blown away. I am back on track. This next single called “I Get Doe” is going to chart.

AllHipHop.com: Altering your original sound is one of the criticisms that you have received by fans. So you admit that now?

Glasses Malone: I've always admitted that. When you are with Cash Money and producers like DJ Toomp, Cool & Dre want to make records for you, how do you say no? When T-Pain or Lil Wayne want to work with you, how do you say no? I've never denied it. I've had some doors and opportunities open for me and when the best of the best come to you, you take advantage of it. When I came home from the tour, it wasn't about having the best of the best anymore. I had to step back and remember what got me here. I had to go back to being Glasses Malone.

AllHipHop.com: You mention previous producers like DJ Toomp, who produced “Certified” for you. Who are you going to for beats now?

Glasses Malone: You wouldn't even know them. These are straight Glasses Malone records. When you hear them, it's not going to be about who produced them and who is on them – just about how they sound. I went for the sound instead of the name. My goal was to make an LP that will be around for the West Coast for a long time.

AllHipHop.com: That's a very noble approach but there are some people that will pre-judge a CD based on the tracklist alone. If they don't see a familiar producers name, then it won't interest them.

Glasses Malone: The best part of the CD is that you won't know what's on it until you buy it (laughs). Hopefully people will judge the songs for their sound instead of the name – to where they don't care who made it. That's a risk and gamble that I am willing to take.

AllHipHop.com: You released a single called “Sun Come Up” featuring Rick Ross, T-Pain and Birdman. Then another version popped up without you on it. Did Birdman take that single from you and make it his?

Glasses Malone: “Sun Come Up” was my song. I thought I could be slick since they (Birdman & Rick Ross) were doing an album and I gave it to them so they could use it too. When they decided to push my album back, I wanted to take the song back but they had already done several versions to it. I got it back though. Birdman gave it back to me but all of the other versions are out there already.

AllHipHop.com: You've referred to yourself as the President of the New West movement. The New West was a collective of young artists from the West Coast working together but it seems that you all have disbanded. What's the deal?

Glasses Malone: I think we are still prevalent but a lot of people don't use that term “New West” anymore because a lot of the OG's got upset about it. I still continue to believe in it as a movement. The new artists are following the legends like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. I say on my album, “New West on my motherf***in' lonely, even if nobody else says it.” I'm still the President, although it's just me now (laughs).

AllHipHop.com: You are the President and the only citizen?

Glasses Malone: I'm the President and like on that Hair Club For Men commercial, “I'm also a client.”

AllHipHop.com: A while back there were some differences with the veteran West Coast artists like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube and you're name came up a lot because of your status within the New West. What's the story on that?

Glasses Malone: I've always stated that I've never had personal problems with Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. Snoop Dogg is one of my favorite rappers and Ice Cube influenced my style. You can hear Ice Cube in my style. I don't think it was ever an issue of me not liking or disrespecting them but I am a competitive dude and I come up under their reign of competitive nature. The veterans are very competitive with each other. Naturally I come in to this business as a competitor, especially if that artist is not responsible for my career. I want to be as dope as Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube, damn it. I didn't get in to this business to be below anybody. That competitive nature on the microphone tends to make me an outcast.

Ice Cube, I don't know if I will ever get that collaboration because him and Mack 10 aren't seeing eye to eye anymore – and I'm Hoo-Bangin' to the motherf****in' fullest. As long as those two aren't getting along, I can't see myself ever working with Cube. Plus, Kam is my mentor – so who knows how all of that is going to work out. There is no disrespect though. A video surfaced online saying that I said Ice Cube was scared when I first met him – and he was! He was in a Watts V.I.P. Records Store and he was not comfortable. It was weird to me because he's f***in' Ice Cube the Predator! He's supposed to be the Predator. You would think he would be comfortable in any environment. In the West Coast Connection group he was the “Killa” out of the Gangsta and the Dope Dealer. It was awkward to me and that's when I first learned that making music is just music. I admit that being a kid and having all of his albums that I believed he was what he said in his music. Saying that though is not calling him out or disrespecting his name. I was speaking as a fan meeting his favorite artist – anybody would be shocked. That's like someone meeting Too $hort and him being respectful to women (laughs). You expect Too $hort to call a woman a b***h because he's Too $hort. People can get sensitive in this business but Ice Cube has to know that I don't mean no disrespect. I'm your favorite f***in' fan goddammit!

Snoop Dogg has respected me from day one. I'm pretty sure he's thrown some bars at me but he's a competitive dude like me. We've talked quite a few times and there was a time when he thought there was some disrespect but I've always been open with him. There is no disrespect and I would never disrespect Snoop Dogg – but on that microphone we are competing for being dope and respected on the mic. That's how Hip-Hop is! That's how it was when I was growing up and that's how it's going to be with all of the new voices that I'm putting on. When I do songs with the new guys under me, they aren't laying down just because I'm on the song with them. They are writing to be the best on the record.

Me and Snoop Dogg have records together and when we do make music together, I'm trying to be dope so all of the fans that listen to his music can become a fan of mine. Everybody else can suck d*** if they want to, but me I'm going for mine and that's why Snoop respects me.

AllHipHop.com: Snoop Dogg wasn't offended by the skit at the end of your “Ghostwriter” mixtape song when you had someone impersonate him asking for ghostwriting services? Did that ever make it back to him that you know of?

Glasses Malone: I'm sure it did but I'm funny just like they are funny. I'm a stupid n***a. I'm funny and I love making jokes. I'm sure they make jokes about me and talk sh*t about me. This is a fun and competitive sport. The humor in West Coast Hip-Hop has been around from day one. Dr. Dre's The Chronic album had the best skits. Snoop knows damn well that I mean no disrespect. I even came to watch his kids play football. I'm trying to have fun with music and make jokes – and that song was intended to make you laugh.

AllHipHop.com: As we end this, let's rewind and go back to your album and your situation with Cash Money Records. Let's say your album gets pushed back again; How much more of it are you going to take?

Glasses Malone: When it comes down to it, Baby & Slim are the coolest dudes breathing. I know that they get a lot of lawsuits and people talk sh*t, but they are the coolest dudes breathing. If I wanted to put The Beach Cruiser out independently through Cash Money, I could do that myself. I feel comfortable that is coming out this year finally. I can honestly admit that sometimes I have not felt comfortable and I had to go see what they were thinking. I'm happy who I work for and I'm not saying this for political reasons. When I fly out ot Miami, I have money in my pocket and I stay at the Trump Towers and I record at a studio all day. I am happy with my situation and now it's up to me to finish the job. Drake isn't the only one on Cash Money that's going to shine this year. It's going down like a plane crash. I had to step up my efforts and for a while I wasn't seeing things clearly. My mother passing away recently brought a certain level of clarity to me and my music and you will see it.

Good read. I don't see Beach Cruiser comin out on Cash Money. Luckily he stated if Cash Money don't put the record out, he is bringing the record out by himself.

Me too, I feel that Glasses is a smart man and is helping put people from the West Coast on...so what if he went to the South for help...look at how our 'West Coast people' sh*t on each other, even yall dubcnn m*thaf*ckas like the ones who DONT READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE and make dumb comments. The man said if his single doesn't chart which will make Cash Money not put out his album under their label he will go the indie route, which to me is a good route. He's getting tours, radio promo, internet promo, the luxury of living lavish and most importantly being around business-minded 5 Star generals. Glasses has a sense of humor, he is good and honest when it comes to interviews, and I respect this mans hustle. Props for this interview, I wish you nothing but success G.Malone and RIP to your mother man. I know that it's not easy losing the person you loved the most and who supported you the most. I'm looking forward to the album and glad that you changed up the material so that it wouldn't be outdated! Bring back the OG Westcoast skits!!! I LUVVVVV SKITS!!!!

I laughed when he said this: I'm the President and like on that Hair Club For Men commercial, “I'm also a client.” And when he made that comment about Too $hort..hahaha what's my favorite word....

I'm confused ???. So he sold out because he went the Cash Money route? I don't think Nicki Minaj sold out, she did the same thing as Glasses but on another coast. She's from the East and went to the South, he's from the West and went to the South.

Oh okay so I see what you're saying, instead of him being Cash Money it's kinda like he's a Crash Dummy? :-\ Nah Forreal, I got LUV for G because he didn't hold out and he spoke the truth in his interview...he's no fool...I'm just saying that I get what you're saying now...that's where he gained my RESPECT :-*. I typed this long paragraph before then my computer timed out, so now I'm angry >:( so I'll just nip it in a bud I agree with you when you say that artists shouldn't listen to everyone who is a critic or offering advice, but a wise move is to take heed so that when or if they happen to trip, they don't have to witness their shadow telling them that they should have tied their shoes.

"Certified" was a banger to me. And the "Haterz" music video was nice. I also like the song he did with Cam'ron "Where it At" but his concludes the discussion lol....for now....

Why we gotta be mad at him and talk bad about him making a mistake in judgment? A mistake that he is readily admitting. Can't we just be happy that he's going back to his roots now? I don't think he was ever not being real with us. He wasn't being real with himself and he saw that and has changed.

He was being real to us about why he was putting out the music he was. You live and you learn. Let's forget all this bullshit and be happy he's back where we want him. If we keep talking about him "selling out and there's no coming back" it's just another thing holding the West back.

Am I or G.Malone trippin'?This fool said,Ice Cube was "Tha Killa" in WSCG?last time i checked wc=killa,mack10=dope dealer,ice cube=gangster.G.Malone is tight no doubt bout that,but can't be that smart if he still hasnt dropped yet...wasn't he Mr. 1.7?I know he got his own cash money so why not do it urself?if not cash out!!!by the time his album drops it might be "The Tricycle". 8)

It sucks cuz when glasses came out with his white lightning mixtape, i was listening to glasses since waaaay back! im talking bout 5-6 yrs back! i was like daaaamn this dude is the next big thing! I introduced so many of my homies to him! I thought the mixtape was genius and i felt we were going back to the good old days with glasses. I was excited once again but When i heard he signed with cash money, it was like my heart was broken. I aint saying cash money is fake or anything but we all know those fuckers dont bring out any quality. The last quality shit they had was waaay back with the Hot Boys! Now a days they got some fake ass commercial bitch songs that stupid lilttle kids like that dont know shit bout HIp Hop! I knew glasses was going to have to change his style! Hip Hop sucks now and if u are in a major label and are not in Aftermath u are fucked! U will have to bring out some Pop shit or some faaake ass T-Pain shit like that sun come down or whatever that piece of shit song is! but it is what it is!! Hopefully he bring it out and its White Lightning quality!

yeah he hurt himself by goin to the south cuz he had built his buzz, how from this coast
but then signs with mack who hasnt been relevant since bang or ball...which was years...that was his biggest recent buzz IMO
so mack signs wit the biggest label at the time, but jus cuz its the biggest label dont mean its the best label, as g malone is findin out
but why he got mad at the fans who werent hatin on him but were statin that the muzik he was makin wasnt him
fucc wit me...was all him and he ruined his chance wit that song...bangin song produced by a southcoast producer

but look you got to stay true to yourself like face always has and he stayed trued to his roots
it was obvious makin songs like certified, haterz, sun come up etc....all were wack compared to fucc wit me....which is weird cuz that song was produced by mannie resh same produced that produced connected for life

connected for life = classic
fucc wit me = bangin

both those songs have westcoast rappers on them and both were produced by the same person all for the westcoast....but he didnt take advantage and went chose haters, certified and even made a remix for it....

you see how e-40 is comin back to his roots

Face comes from a different time in Hip Hop and he's earned the right to call his own shots....it's not as easy for someone new coming out on a major. I agree that G should've stayed a little closer to his roots but I can see how getting caught up in the political machine can sway an artist.

come on styles...gettin caught up....be careful cuz he might have accidently signed a 12 album deal too when he was caught in the moment....it is what it is
face was caught in the moment and he made dope muzik while he was caught in the moment
face is an example....back in the day when face first started, he made mistakes but did he stay true? yeah he did and years later he still doin the same thing

im not comparin the era's...but the artists themselves
its the artists themselves...this has nuthin to do wit era's, labels etc..
jus stay true to yourself period!!!
stayin true to yourself....labels, era's doesnt come into that only if you let it and get caught up...otherwise there are a few out there that have made muzik in different era's but they've stayed true to them...no matter what era the muzik was made in

And plus, the type of music Face was making in his era was in a sense the same today - totally different sound, but understand what I'm saying - Face was making stuff that was being played on the radio and commercial friendly. The style of music has changed drastically, but Face was still making "popular music..

the thing is, you have to compare the eras.....especially since we are talking about a breaking artist. it was much easier to say "true" to yourself on a major back in 88' when the Geto Boyz were making a name for themselves, than an artist coming out today in 2010. Like I said, I agree that an artist should be true, but any artist on any major label is going to have a much larger degree of difficulty doing that in this day and age as oppossed to coming out in a time of Hip-Hop where there wasn't as much interference or political sway on behalf of the music company.

I can see how an artist today can have difficulties in not trying to adjust their sound. its a lot harder than you make it out to be.

Luckily he stated if Cash Money don't put the record out, he is bringing the record out by himself.

That's what we can only hope for. Cash Money is known for giving out deals that artists don't want. If he can put it out himself he probably has to wait a few years till after the contract has ended and by that time the music is even more dated than it is now already. Don't get me wrong, I'll check for it, but he won't sell shit.

From day 1 I've been saying that this album wouldn't come out on Cash Money and I hate to say it, but I'm most likely right.

I totaly agree with you.. Yall act like G. Malone been in the music game and the business side for years and suppose to have knowledge of the atmosphere.. this very game is tricky and political when you sign to a major company...But I hope the best for him...And jus keep putting out ya music the best way you know how...I honestly think Mack 10 signed G.Malone for a budget from cash money either he cash his money or cash out..Mack 10 still won and got a budget for G...Mack 10 is good for creating budgets and the artist dont advance in their carrers..Look at the whole hoo bangin previous roster..All of em cried Mack robbed....Even eiht did when he came to us...

to each is own styles...but everyone knew to begin wit this wasnt goin to work out..but thats one thing but to not make muzik the way you want and make muzik how others want isnt right and its not jus face, theres hundreds of artists that have gon both ways....plain and simple
nuthin to do with era's but the artist stayin true to themselves....face was an example as theres many more
but hey good lookin on the debate....you got your opinion and vice versa

I don't know who the hundreds are that you are referring to, but any artist coming out in today's market on a major label is going to have a hard time doing the music that they want to without some type of polirical influence from the powers that be...
