I jacked this from AHH. Its an interview from the December issue of Vibe with Mobb Deep. These niggaz is gassed...
Your signing to G Unit seemed to catch everyone off guard. How did that happen?
Prodigy: 50 Cent heard that we were free agents. He called Hav like, "Yo, what's up? I'm fucking with y'all. Let's do it."
After seven albums being self-contained, by joining G Unit are you admitting that maybe, your way wasn't working anymore?Havoc: Nah, not at all. The way we were doing it always worked. It was just the record companies were fucking up. Now we have a better platform.
50 recently said he's picking all the beats for your upcoming album. Is that true?
H: He sends beats to us. If we don't like it, we always got our opinions. But he's got such a good ear that every track he picks is right, so it's all good. I'm still producing somewhere close to half the album.
Did you sign an artist deal?
H: Nah, not like a regular deal. We got a lot of perks. We got more points than any artist ever got to this day, so it's a real good deal.
Perks? Give me a few examples of these perks.
P: We got Porsches.
H: Top of the line. I got a GT3 that's nonrecoupable.
So, I guess it didn't bother you that on "Piggy Bank" 50 said to Jadakiss, "I'll do your little ass like Jay did Mobb Deep?"
H: Nope
P: When he said that line, he was just talking about what really happened. At Summer Jam, Jay-Z put up a picture of me when I was a little kid in my grandmother's dance school. We're all bigger than Jay now.
Similar to Ja Rule's R.U.L.E., Amerikaz Nightmare had it's fans, but it didn't achieve commercial success. Were you worried that your time might have passed?
H: The difference with Ja Rule is people were tired of him. We came out with a good record, but the record company wasn't getting it to the fans.
Speaking of Ja Rule, 50 is known for his beefs. Will it be a problem for you to work with people he's beefing with?
H: I'm a producer, bottom line. Nobody can tell me what I can and can't do as far as me being creative. And 50 is not even like that at all. But, I will say that I'm down for my team, and I ain't trying to start no friction.
Havoc produced "Don't Need Your Love" on The Documentary. And P, you did "Dead Bodies"on the Alchemist's album with Game. Will you continue to work with him in the future?
P: If Fif tells me, "Yo don't give that nigga no verses," them niggas ain't getting no verses, man. It's not gonna stop my money, 'cause I'll get money from somewhere else. I'll be like All right, cool. What verse can I do? That's where I'm gonna get money from, then.
It doesn't matter that someone has a say in your music relationships?
P: Hell no. He made me rich.
How does your G Unit affiliation affect your relationship with Nas?
P: Who that? You're talking about Milkshake? He's not in the picture no more. He left the radar.
Is Big Noyd going to be involved with your new album, Blood Money?
P: Once Mobb Deep gets an album out and goes on tour and our album is selling, then we'll start thinking about different artists. But right now, we're not really worried about nobody else but Mobb Deep.
There was a controversy earlier this year with your former manager Littles, saying you two were breaking up. What was that about?
P: Who that, son? I don't even know who that is.
With your recent appearance on the Anger Management 3 tour, you seem to have lost weight. Are you still struggling with sickle cell?
P: I'm in perfect health. I ain't been sick in a long time.
H: We slim dudes. But check this bank account. Tell me how I look now (laughs). My hips look kinda fat right? My pockets are bulging.
How do you feel about New York's rap chances right now?
H: I mean, everybody gets their time. It started in New York and it's gonna come back ultimately. People go, "What about the South?" That's a tool to pit everybody against one another. We're all making black music. Right now, our Down South brothers are winning cause they deserve it.
Who do you guys feel is really representing New York right now?
H: Mobb Deep.
Duly noted. Since signing to G Unit, what's been the biggest change in your lives?
P: We're megastars now.
H: I never thought it would be this way.
P: When we signed that contract, Fif gave us the keys to the planet. We can open up any door right now
All i can say is damn. Havoc doin HALF the beats, and 50 pickin the rest? I'm all for gettin that money but it sounds like they sellin they nuts for a plaque. Prodigy is talkin out his ass like crazy in here, def taken lessons from 50. Sayin they're bigger than Jay, Nas is off the radar. Now obviously i haven't heard the music so i can't hate on that, but from the sound of things i'm getting skeptical. Peace
-
megastars :laugh:
I never liked these guys, shit is weak
-
lol Megastars :D
-

And this is something Prodigy started doing recently ??
LOL
All i can say is damn. Havoc doin HALF the beats, and 50 pickin the rest?
I bet $100 that Alchemist and Havoc will do the majority of the beats, and what's wrong with 50 choosing beats..
Normally, that will mean beats from Dr.Dre, Scott Storch, J.R., Hi-Tek, Fredwreck, Red Spyda, etc.
They already worked with Storch & Spyda before they signed, and been on 1 Dre-beat and 1 Fredwreck beat already, where's the problem really ??
-
Mobb Deep, like MOP sound good over these beats 50 is picking, and 50 doin the hooks. Its not like 50 is telling them what to do. And Nas is off the radar, hes a legend, yes, but him and Jay aren't doing anything lately music wise.
-
looks like Big Noyd's out and 50's in...... its sad
-
I like a good Hi-Tek beat over pretty much whoever..... hopefully 50 Cent wil put him on for a track
-
my gut feeling is that pretty soon my Mobb Deep collection will not be complete anymore...

lmao they brainwashed, but hey who cares, i just hope they make dope music
-
P keep on talkin so well all can get to hear Nas father(fuck sonning) your ass again. P must´ve forgot about what Nas did to his ass on Destroy & Rebuild. and how tha fuck are Mobb Deep bigger then Jay-Z ??? i mean i like Mobb´s music a lot more then i like Jay´s but he´s been a superstar for 10 years and Mobb Deep aint never been close to superstar status. aw well if the music is on the level on The Infanous(lmao won´t happen coz P sucks these days)then i´ll go out and support but as it looks right now that won´t be the case.
-
Damn, there 50's bitches now.
-
hatin' too much. I garantee you that their next album will be dope. Especially the fact that they have there own label which is kinda branched to g-unit, so they'll creativity control still

they had their own label with Jive aswell but their last album was still ass.
-
first off...bigger than jay-z? what the fuck?
second....those are some dumb whipped motherfuckers...."aint nobody tell me who I can and can't work with"..."if fifty says don't do nothin for them they aint gettin shit"....hmmm....sounds like fifty can tell you who you can and can't work with
third..."our last album was a good album we just wasn't in the right situation"....no...i bought the album...and threw it away an hour later....it sucked balls...sorry to burst your bubble superstar
-
Damn, there 50's bitches now.
Sold there soul to 50 Cent for cars.:grumpy:
-

^^^yall talkin bout how they said this went ahead and said they wouldnt work with anyone well HAVOC said he could do whatever he wants and P Said he wold only work with who Fif let him work with. So to me its sounds like P is a bitch and Havoc sounds like he doing more of what he wanna do.

Did you sign an artist deal?
H: Nah, not like a regular deal. We got a lot of perks. We got more points than any artist ever got to this day, so it's a real good deal.
Perks? Give me a few examples of these perks.
P: We got Porsches.
H: Top of the line. I got a GT3 that's nonrecoupable.
So they say "it's a real good deal" based on the fact they receive cars? That's like giving a little kid a lolly-pop just so he would shut up. Wow...I honestly thought they cared more about their music.
It's all about the dollar bill after all...another disappointment in Hip-Hop.
If the album's good it's allright with me. It's just sad to see that ppl care less about their music than they used to, just because ppl flash money & cars in front of their eyes.
-
wow, pee always pops off at the mouth but he took it to another level smh @ pee. Havoc never pops off at the mouth but pee is a bigger joke then he already was. I aint buying there next album
-
how the fuck is pee going play noyd like that too, fuck prodigy
-
after seing that G Unit tattoo...I have to say P is a Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiatch!
-
he has a fuckin' tatoo? Oh my god...
-
Damn, there 50's bitches now.
-
Jome, like i said, i ain't gonna hate on the music cuz i ain't heard it yet. Just wait till 50 starts poppin up on hooks and you hear Mobb Deep screamin G-Unit all over the fucking album. Oh wait, you think thats a good thing.
-

Yeah, Outta Control Remix, Have A Party feat. Nate Dogg & You're A Shooter was all wack as fuck, I hard a time listening to those tracks because of Mobb Deeps constant G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G screaming and 50's wack hooks. ::)
Prodigy talked the same shit about being rich as fuck, when they signed to Jive, but WCC didn't care back then because 50 wasn't involved.. :camp:
P been talking that crackhead smack for a decade, dissing Jay-Z & Nas for years, but once he's on G-Unit it's the issue of the month. :D
Infamy & Amerikaz Nightmare already showed that Mobb Deep went from that Murda shit to a combination of a more soulful style mixed with some grimey tracks and party/commercial tracks, they can't make the same music forever, some of you fools are stuck in the past.
I can't recall seeing so many crybabies when they made commercial tracks with e.g. Lil Jon and 112, funny how their hater(fan)base increased drasticly recently. ;D
-
^^^^really?...cus i remember a 3-page thread sayn how dey shouldnt be workin wit nelly an dem other guys.....
what pissed me off is how dey played noyd an littles...like shit..dey dont give a fuck about dey own...rather wear free yayo tee's an get g-unit tattoo's lol...fuck em...
*bumps hell on earth*
-
Damn. And I thought MOBB were grown men.
-
what pissed me off is how dey played noyd an littles...like shit..dey dont give a fuck about dey own...rather wear free yayo tee's an get g-unit tattoo's lol...fuck em...
I perfectly understand that they cut Littles off, with Littles trying to cake in on Mobb Deep's albums, acting like he's the manager/mentor/promoter. :D
I don't what to call this though:
Is Big Noyd going to be involved with your new album, Blood Money?
P: Once Mobb Deep gets an album out and goes on tour and our album is selling, then we'll start thinking about different artists. But right now, we're not really worried about nobody else but Mobb Deep.
It's not really a diss, he's just saying that a Mobb Deep album is their top priority, after all, it's only 10 months since Big Noyd released a album..
-
^but they got 40 Glocc out on the road with them so why they aint bringing Noyd with them aswell? Noyd been down with them for a long ass time and been loyal to those niggaz when maybe he should´ve turned his back on them. my bet is that we won´t hear Noyd on their album(not like that´s a bad thing though).
-
Mobb Deep is sounding kinda stupid. Cars as perks? That sounds like something a new artist would fall for.
-
^yeah that was pretty dumb...
