it aint your guys fault but mack 10 is just a horrible person to interview. that was another interview where he seemed like he was too "cool" to elaborate on fuckin anything
-
proper props
-
Props, nice interview although his answers were short.
-
yeah Mack generally seems like a bitch to interview... he was like that when I did the last interview too.
-
yeah macc 10 is an ignorant muthafucca....... next time ask him what it was like being kidnapped and put in the trunk of an impala by mafia 4life record ceo del dog
that will wake him tha fucc up lol
-
^^ i asked him that in my last interview.. he got mad and wanted to stop the interview lol
-
^^ i asked him that in my last interview.. he got mad and wanted to stop the interview lol
lmmfao thats some funny shit, i cant believe you asked him!!!!
-
lmao thats funny, have you got audio?
-
dubcnn : So if you haven't spoken to Ice Cube then there's no plans for another WSCG record?
Na man, it'll never happen again
DAMN, why not?? i thought there are some hopes!
-
dubcnn : So if you haven't spoken to Ice Cube then there's no plans for another WSCG record?

DAMN, why not?? i thought there are some hopes!
Probably because Cube didn't want to tour. Fair enough though, Mac 10 isn't as rich as Cube so if Cube isn't willing to tour why should Mac 10 do another record.
-
but maybe cube would like to tour now!? they need to call each other and talk about it...! i want a new wsc album!
-
^^ i asked him that in my last interview.. he got mad and wanted to stop the interview lol
hook us up with the audio to this man. i gotta hear that shit.
oropz on the interview btw.
-
I ain't got the audio no more but I remember the quality was real bad too.
It basically went like this... I asked him
Nima: Is it true you got kidnapped back in '99 or 2000?
Mack 10: Hell naw man!
Nima: That's what I heard, just wanted to see what's up with that?
Mack 10: Where do you get your info from homie? Wh.. I.. What hood you from homie?
Nima: I just gather the questions that the fans want to know and ask the artists... This was one of them.
Mack 10: Fuck that homie, that's bullshit, ay, hold on one second.
............ 2 minutes break
Mack 10's publicist on the phone: "Nima, Mack is a little pissed, how many more questions do you have?
Nima: That's it, I just need him to do a drop.
then Mack did his drop and that was that...
yup!
-
Another funny part of the interview was when I asked him about the guest appearances on the WSC record!
Nima: Who do ya'll got on there as far as guest appearances?
Mack 10: Nobody. Just Da Hood is on there, and that's it! Nobody.
Nima: And Nate Dogg right?
Mack 10: Huh?
Nima: Nate Dogg and Knoc'Turnal are on it too, aren't they?
Mack 10: Huh?
Nima: Ya'lll got Nate Dogg and Knoc doin' hooks right?
Mack 10: Who? Nate Dogg? Oh.. Nate Dogg and Knocturnal... Yeah, Nate Dogg, Knocturnal. Nate Dogg, Knocturnal and uhh... uhhh... Nate Dogg, Knoc'Turnal and uhh.. and uhh... Nate Dogg, Knoc'Turnal and uhh... Butch Cassidy.
LOL! took him like a hour.
-
Mack 10's publicist on the phone: "Nima, Mack is a little pissed, how many more questions do you have?
Nima: That's it, I just need him to do a drop.
then Mack did his drop and that was that...
lol good thinking on having it as your last question ;D
-
^^ ;D i wasn't sure if i was gone ask it, but dude was bein such a bitch anyways so i was like fuck it might as well piss him off too
-
^ LOL
-
^lol,that was funny.
-
LMAO, Mac 10 doesn't seem to be that cool a person.
-
hahahahahahaha that is fuccin hilarious!!!!!!!!! sound like he was thinking u was from 104 & main lololol he got served on crewnshaw by some main street crips and put into del dog's 64 impala lol
mac need to go bacc to his chicken hawk days
good interview though
-
wasnt there somethin about someone askin him what hood etc he repped and he got all butt hurt about it when he couldnt name it or whatever?
-
Props, by the way Mack 10 seems like an idiot guy...
-
Thats hilarious that you asked him if he got kidnapped. At least in this interview he responded in a full sentence instead of one word answers. I didn't know this album was coming out so soon, it might be a nice surprise for the west coast.
-
lol i like his music but damn......he seems like an asshole
-
lol i like his music but damn......he seems like an asshole
Yeah, that's true, but the rap game is gettin funnier and funnier day by day, with the likes of Daz and Mack 10 :D
-
but dazz is cooo though lol
mack 10 just seems like hes 2 hard to do a interview even though it'll benifet his career if he elaborates on the questions asked
-
yea mack 10 sux at being interviewed...funny as hell that he got kidnappened lol
-
props for the interview and all the effort
-
lmao, i remember nima talking about before how mack 10 was a bitch to interview, i was real curious to see how this one turned out.
-
funny shit
-
LMAO, that's classic, Nima
:psych: to Mac for being an asshole to innocent interviewers for no reason
-
Mack 10: Where do you get your info from homie? Wh.. I.. What hood you from homie?
LMAO !!!!
-
LMFAO! at Nima's interview of mack 10. Damn! what the hell was he on when asked about nate dogg and knocturnal? lol I never knew about that rumor of him getting kidnapped. I can't believe you actually asked him that question and yea mack 10 is not a great person to interview. Here's a prop for asking him that question. It seriously had me laughing out loud.
-
Mack Dime is a dick...I find it amusing that he blames Cube for not wanting to do the tour when he was the one responsible for WSCG breaking up. Asshole! I lost respect for One O. He wouldn't be shit if it wasn't for Cube.
-
^^ ;D i wasn't sure if i was gone ask it, but dude was bein such a bitch anyways so i was like fuck it might as well piss him off too
LMFAO...Props.
Nima, you should have said something to piss off Styles of The LOX when you did the interview with him. Seems like him and Mack share a VERY similar interview technique! ;)
Also, LMAO at Mack 10 asking Nima what 'hood he claims. Gangsta!

I missing something. When did mack 10 break up wsc? and yea that was funny mack 10 asking what hood nima claims. Mack 10 seem kind of paranoid LOL.
-

naw Styles can be hella talkative if you ask him some real questions about real issues. just check out his interview over at www.soundslam.com and youŽll see that he can be very open in interviews if you ask him about social issues and things like that.
-
^^ Yeah I think Styles just had a bad day that time, but Mack is known to be an asshole..
-
Mack 10 was the worst interview we ever did at Raptism.Com!
I'd expect Eminem, Snoop or 50 Cent - u know, the "superstars" to act the way Mack 10 did.
But 50 was the most down to earth cool peoples to talk to whilst Mack 10 .... he is a real dick.
After that, I'd never do any interview with him again, I'm actually surprised u did another one Nima - i would have said "fuck him"
.... or asked him the kidnap question again as your first question ;)
-
^^ Haha, I didnt do this one, Yash did! I wouldn't interview him again..
-
i mite aswell add to this........like relativez said FUCK MACK 10
-
Mack 10 cool as fuck! I just dont think artist like answering crazy ass questions,no disrespect to nobody,but that aint cool somebody give yall a interview then yall shit on em. muphucas just be wantin to be asked some real, relevent shit,thats all.......
sometimes muphucas just be havin a bad day! I just think sometimes yall gotta be aware that these interviews lead to real shit happenin in the street, so yall need to think if you really want to contribute to somebody gettin they wig pushed back, cus the shit can go down in a heartbeat, so i would leave the "Beef" questions alone,cus alotta that shit is innuendo and speculation..and could lead to a nigga dyin!
I love what yall doin, just be carefull with it
-
^^ I feel you and I didn't mean no harm, I started doing the interview with Mack and asked him normal questions, but dude wasn't even ellaborating on any of them, just giving one word answers, and that kidnapping question I was asked to ask him by one of Mack's old homies and I was just like fuck it I might aswell ask him that.
He's an artist, it's in his duty to give interviews, artists gain so many fans when they come off cool in interviews, I don't know why some gotta be like that.
Although I have to add tha Mack has been the only person I've interviewed that was unfriendly..

u know him?
but anyways, no offense but u have no idea what u are talking about. your on a whole different page. the interview we did, well we asked the "nice as pie" questions, asked him all about him, all about his projects, all about his past music, what he sees in his future, where he sees hiphop etc etc it was a very "pro" Mack 10 interview, nothin that was asked could have possibly upset him. He was the one giving the one worded answers and acting like it was a fuckin hassle to talk to us ...
i would have rather he say "guys, i cant be fucked doing this right now, can we set up another time" rather than give the pathetic responses that he gave. Waste of a damn phone call. so dont get it twisted, we were not asking him about beef, about shit that he may have been offended about ... and neither was Nima, he only asked that last question as a last resport to get some form of response from him!
go through dubcnn.com's interview list, or raptism.com's for that matter, if people like 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Ice T, Mobb Deep, Bone Thugs, DJ Quik, Crooked I, Cypress Hill, WC etc can give top notch interviews and really give interviewers something to work with, then i cannot see why Mack 10 couldnt do the same thing.

The times I done met Mack, he done been real cool to me. and really dude, no disrespect it seems like you kinda gettin mad about the shit and tryna be funny "do i know him?" I dont hang out with the nigga every day or no shit like that but i met dude thru a mutual homy and he was cool, iit aint even like that, but i can judge a nigga on how they came at me. a rapper is obligated to be cool in interviews and shit i agree, but you actin about as sensitive as you say he does
-
LMAO @ mac 10

Say what you will about G-Unit, they always come off really cool in their DubCNN interviews...greeting Nima and elaborating on their answers. On TV, 50 comes off as an arrogant prick most of the time, but in that interview conducted for the site a while back I don't think I could fault how polite he was. I know that I would certainly be appreciative if the artist took the time to learn my name and seemed genuinely interested in the interview.
Can't just say them though, as Nima said it seems that with most of the interviews that he conducts, the artists are friendly and eager to answer the questions.
-
What a read this thread was, better then the actual interview.
Thanks for the interview but Mack should know handling a proper interview is part of handling his business in the rap game. How hard can it be.
Car trunk Tarantino style kidnappings? what hood mack rep? See if Mack gave out proper responses he could of smartly cleared shit up.
Looks like WSC as a unit is over like in the way of Da Lench Mob.
'Hustlers Handbook' should have some dope cuts on it though.

i aint mad chief, just stating the experience we had with Mack 10. as it turned out, we were not the only ones who had a negative experience when interviewing him. i honestly couldn't care less about him, i am not a fan of his.
-
I feel that.
-
The Relativez destroyed Mack 10 with the eloquently named "F*** Mack 10." LOL. Did Mack 10 ever respond back?
-
dubcnn.com: Tha Relativez dissed you on their album that came out last year, did you ever reply to them?
I don't reply to people I sell more in the first week than they do in the whole run of their record, so you know, I woulda done them a favor by replyin. That's bullshit, Da Hood did more in the first week than they did in their whole run.
