>Why is your album nigga-free?
because i feel theres other shit to say other than nigga. why say "me and my niggas get head from a bitch in my benz" when i can at least say "1 girl and 3 guys aint even, but in this vehicle its not stopping her from bobbin and weaving" or something like that (if i wanted to put that message out im sayin). and nigga isnt even as hard to change as that example i just gave you...simply replace it with "brother" or "cat" or "playa" or 100 other names. to make a long answer short...i dont want to embrace the word in my music.


>Was it a conscious choice? yes
>And I mean that in

meaning conscious as in "hey my brother we need to stop using that word"? yes and no. i do realize that its offensive and im not some person trying to create a positive meaning out of the word, but then again i wont stop one of my friends if they say "what up nigga!" and i might be caught using it as in "that nigga is crazy!" or something like that. i dont frequent the word but it does slip sometimes.


>Is there a difference to you
>between having a curse-free album
>and a nigga-free album?
yea...cursing shouldnt offend a hip hop head, but saying "nigga" could.

>What about a bitch-free album?
yea women would be offended...then again they say women buy the most albums, and dre and eminem arent buying all these copies theirselves.



>Do you say the word in
>real life?
nigga? sometimes yea i do, but its an old habit. try not to.

>
>What is your opinion on other
>rappers using it?
well...busta uses it to fucking much...i say to each his own, im not really too offended, but sometimes i do feel like my intelligence is being insulted when you gotta say "nigga" 20 times within 16 bars.

this felt like my first interview! that was cool! im being serious too!
