NICKI MANJI INTERVIEW

“I talk about “Nicki Manji” in a third person because that is the only way that I know I am not suicidal"

Hate her or love her you can’t deny that Nicki Minaj has brought back the buzz for female Mcs. “Its Barbie Bitch” has become the most popular phrase among the ladies of this Hip-Hop generation that have been patiently waiting for someone to help bring the focus back to them. Nicki Minaj has not only brought back the hardcore lyrics and sexiness that was first seen in rapper Lil Kim but she has also gained the attention and respect from Lil Wayne who signed her to his label “Young Money”. I got a chance to sit in on a conference call conducted by Rapstarpromo as they conducted an open conference with Nicki Minaj.



Rapstarpromo: Wow! Where does the motivation come from? What gear are you in?

Nicki Minaj: Well, to be completely honest I have been trying to step it up. I think people were losing site of my lyrical abilities. I just slacked off. I am not even going to lie, I was dealing with a lot of and craziness and I just started relying o n stuff that was just getting me by. I was doing a lot of get by verses. I had a long talk with Wayne and its funny how a confrontation at the moment can change your life. It was crazy throughout the whole conversation but he mentioned to me “Nick you used to be cold what happened”? Having him tell me that I really had to stop and re-evaluate my lyrics and everything. Wayne said “I didn’t sign you because of the way that you looked. I wanted to sign you because I heard you and I felt that you was spitting as the dudes. We fucked with you cause of that”. For the Djs that are not familiar he was talking about the “Come-Up” Dvd volume 11. Thats what he saw Nicki Minaj do. I think that I stopped focusing on that thinking “I don’t have to do that but I do need to do that because I think its important to show that I am smart enough to do metaphors just like the boys and witty enough to do playful flows and all that stuff. Recently I stepped it up and on the Robin Thicke song it was a perfect example of me doing that.
My Motivation is that girls look up to Nicki Manaj now and I have to go hard for them. There are so many girls that argue my case everyday so now I have to give them a crazy buzz cause every time I am out there so they can say; “Nicky said this, Nicki said that.. She is nice. She can go up against the boys”. I need to do that for them.

Rapstarpromo: What was your mind frame during the “Come-Up” dvd days, before the whole Young Money thing.

Nicki Minaj: I just wanted to make money and take care of my mother. My frame during the “Come-Up” Dvd days was “grind, grind, grind, grind, grind”. I was going up on Jamaica Avenue and handing out my Cds and selling my mixtapes to the Africans in the mixtape spots and and speaking to the Djs. I would ask them “would you host my tape” and speaking to people like Jadakiss and asking “can you do a feature on my music”. It was grinding season for me at that time and it still is. It was a more grinding time at that time because I wasn’t getting that money at that time. I wasn’t being booked at that time so it was do or die. I now have that luxury to say that “ I am not doing shows for the month of December”. At that time I didn’t have the luxury so it was like my life depended on that and I think that’s why I illustrated that in the way that I rapped I was a little more hardcore at that time. When I started living a little better my rhymes started to get a little more playful so now I am just trying to balance the two.

Rapstarpromo: What projects do the Djs need to be looking out for?

Nicki Minaj: Well the Robin Thicke album I have a song with him called “Shaking It For Daddy”. I am on a record on Gucci Mane’s album called "Crazy”. I am on a record on Baby’s album, the Young Money Compilation, Wayne’s “rebirth”, and Maria Carey’s remix album. I am mostly gearing up for the Young Money tour.

Rapstarpromo: Do you miss anything from those days? Like before fame, money, facebook, twitter with the 300,000 followers.

Nicki Minaj: You know what I will say that I miss them (those days) but I have taken them with me. I allowed them to make me remember when I didn’t have anything and so many people did not believe in me so I take that. I don’t miss anything.

Rapstarpromo: I have to ask “how does it feel to be Nicki Manaj” ? You have a cult following. You got a bunch of “Barbies” coming up.

Nicki Minaj: Why does it have to be a “cult”? That is such a strong word.

Rapstarpromo: For real, for real I see chicks that used to look “bummy”, that are used to looking a certain way and I believe that you have motivated them seriously to put on a little eye shadow, whatever yall call it, for real. How do you feel about that?

Nicki Minaj: I feel blessed to be given a forum to speak to girls. That is why I try to have more if an intelligent interview now and because they watch everything I do cause they listen to everything that I say. It is is important for me to show them that they have to be smart. Being cute and sexy and all that stuff means nothing if you are stupid. You just get taken advantage of. That is all you get. I like that the girls wanna be pretty I do shows every weekend and you can ask anybody that has ever come to my shows and they will tell you that I always speak about college and being independent because that is what I want the girls to take away from Nicki Minaj. I am not going to act like I am a saint. I may say the most craziest freakiest shit in my raps at times but no matter what I say in my rap I have never been loose. Since I was little I was always the girl that the boys wanted but could never have. I anything.

Rapstarpromo: I have to ask “how does it feel to be Nicki Manaj” ? You have a cult following. You got a bunch of “Barbies” coming up.

Nicki Minaj: Why does it have to be a “cult”? That is such a strong word.

Rapstarpromo: For real, for real I see chicks that used to look “bummy”, that are used to looking a certain way and I believe that you have motivated them seriously to put on a little eye shadow, whatever yall call it, for real. How do you feel about that?

Since I was little I was always the girl that the boys wanted but could never have. I always kept myself as exclusive and that is what I speak about. You can be a freak with the person that you are with but if you are running around giving it to any and everybody then you are not a “Barbie” you are “Corny”. That is what I hope they are taking away from me.

Rapstarpromo: That was deep but you didn’t answer my original question so I gotta go back: “How does it feel to be Nicki Minaj”?

Nicki Minaj: I can’t answer that cause it is like a double edge sword because “Nicki Minaj” is either hated or loved. There is no in between so to answer that is to be reminded of some really mean things people say and to also enjoy the great things that people say so I tend to black it out o be honest. I don’t think of myself as “Nicki Minaj”. They either ‘love her or hate her”. I talk about “Nicki Minaj” in a third person because that is the only way that I know I am not suicidal.

Rapstarpromo: I think they do love you but they are not looking at themselves in a good way. A hater will be the first person to go out and buy your cd. They just add to your first week sales.

Nicki Minaj: You know what part feels great? The amount of people that have reached out to work with me. I never thought that in a million years that at this stage in my life I would be contacted by Maria Carey, Robin Thicke, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, and Puffy Daddy. Interestingly enough Jay-Z recommend me for the Robin Thicke feature. Does it get Any better than that? It really feels good when I think about it in that light.

Rapstarpromo: People wanna know when is the “Nicki Minaj” doll coming out?

Nicki Minaj: I have no idea. I am more focused on when the “Nicki Minaj” album is coming out. My album is slated for the second or third quarter of 2010. I would rather it come out in the third quarter because I try and take my time. My last mixtape that was “Beam Me Up Scotty”. I you know anything about me I like to take my time. I am not going to rush it because people think that is what you are supposed to do. I am going to let my features come out and I am going to work on a master piece. I don’t think females have had something and this is no disrespect to anybody and I respect all those girls that paved the way for me but I remember when Lauren Hill came out with “Miseducation” and you cried with her and the cd was on repeat for 10 years I want it to be monumental. I don’t want to rush it. People should know that I am taking my sweet time and that I am being a perfectionist which is what I do so when you get the album it will be worth the wait.

B.o.B AKA BOBBY RAY INTERVIEW JUNE 2009

"My love for music will never go away even if I take a year off to act I would not stop doing music. I just can’t stop"

In June 2009 I caught up with B.o.B aka Bobby Ray as he toured with Asher Roth and Kid Cudi on “The Great Hangover” tour at the House of Blues.

INTRO: So how did you end up on the tour?

B.o.B: I ended up on the tour because it seemed like the most logical thing to do. My affiliation with Kid Cudi and Asher Roth. We are on the cover of XXL Magazine for the “Freshman Issue”. I am real cool with Asher. We really didn’t have anything to do this summer. We didn’t have any tours lines up so it just seemed like the most productive, proficient, and proactive thing to do, so here we go.

INTRO: You are very different from other rappers. You are an artist not a rapper. How did you become an artist?

B.o.B: (laughs) I became an artist basically from circumstances and what I have been thru. Basically I became an artist thru life. The type of inspiration that you receive from this industry you can make it negative or positive energy but I always wanted to do it. When I was a kid I used to play and write songs on the piano and sing. I didn’t know what The hell I was doing but finally after all these years I finally got it right. I play the guitar on my set. Whenever I can I bring my whole band and my back up singers. I have my back up singers on tour with me right now. I try to keep it as musical as possible. Its really a growth process. Growing into being a musician and a musical artist and you really have to learn the music. You can’t imitate it. It has to come from the soul
and when it doesn’t it just looks like you are trying to be something.

INTRO: Do you find that more artists are more appreciative of you because you are opening doors for the type of music that they want to create.

B.o.B: Definitely. I definitely feel that a lot of artists are fans and its kind of humbling. A lot of artists can take that and respond to it with a cocky type of perspective. Its really humbling because you realize that the influence you have to be able to inspire millions of people to or correction I don’t know how many people. You never know but to inspire people in general whether its just one person or a billion you inspire them to do more than what the norm is. If It wasn’t for artists that inspired me like Gnarls Barkley, Andre 3000, Mos Def, and other artists that grew out the norm and said “fuck it I’ma do what I want to do” I would not have that audacity to do something.

INTRO: what happen at the ESPY Awards. What was the experience like?

B.o.B: ESPY Awards (laughs). Samuel Jackson said whassup . It seemed like he was paying attention to the performance. The ESPY was crazy because there is a lot of preparation that goes into producing these shows. I did the BET Awards for two years but I didn’t realize that there was so much money in sports. The hotels were branded ESPY. The hotel decals said ESPY. They gave out gift bags with hundreds of dollars worth of gifts. Its just crazy how much they put into it but the overall experience was great. I got a lot of priceless exposure.

INTRO: I know that you have been doing this for awhile but where do you see yourself in the next two years?

B.o.B: I see myself in a movie. I see my self winning a Grammy or a couple of Grammies if GOD desires.

INTRO: Do you do any acting?

B.o.B: Yeah videos require acting but I want to really act. My passion for my music is greater than my passion for acting. I want to see how deeper I can go with my music before I aspire to do something more. My love for music will never go away even if I take a year off to act I would not stop doing music. I just can’t stop.

INTRO: What artists would you like to work with that you haven’t yet?

B.o.B: Seth Gold, M.I.A, Janelle Monet. Its a lot of female artists that but its because they are very unique and very bold. I feel like the feminine energy in this day and age is really balancing out. For so long its been a man’s world or perceived to be a man’s world for such a long time. Like James Brown said “This is a man’s world, but it would be nothing without the touch of a woman or a girl”. I feel that because this feminine energy is balancing out on this planet a lot of female artists are aspiring to be something greater than just a sexual image or sex symbol. Its nothing wrong with that because we are sexual beings but when everything gets the same it gets monotonous. I want to do a track with Cee-Lo. I don’t want to do it where we email tracks to each other. I would rather get in the studio with you or not do anything at all. Its more organic when you actually there with that person.

INTRO: So I understand that you are going to be working on tracks later.

B.o.B: Yeah me an Asher are talking about doing a mixtape together. He has a studio on his bus so I am going to roll with him and kick it on his bus. We are just going to have some fun. Even though this is my job you still have to keep that balance between work and play so you don’t go stale. You know what I mean?

INTRO: I don’t know what you mean?

B.o.B: You know what I mean!

INTRO: I don’t know what you mean. I work all the time.

B.o.B: You gotta have fun sometime. You deserve it.

40GLOCC INTERVIEW

“I don’t feel like you should be in the Position that you are in”

Infamous/G-Unit artist 40Glocc is back with his brand new album with his Zoolife family entitled “Concrete Jungle”. I met 40Glocc back in 2007 at the One Stop Shop Music Conference. I recently touched base with him to talk about the new album and what he has been doing since we last spoke. I spoke to 40Glocc prior to him running Plies into the bathroom at his video shoot.


INTRO: You have the new album coming out called “Concrete Jungle” what can people expect from this album?

40Glocc: Its real and its street. Its everything thing that music is.

INTRO: I understand that you have been doing a bit of acting. How did you get into acting?

40Glocc: I was in the movie “Miss March”. The movie is now available on DVD. The movie is an urban comedy. Mark Walberg hooked me up with that.. I always wanted to act. I knew Mark from when he was younger. He got me into it and I made it happen.

INTRO: I am following you on twitter and I have come to find that you are a very political person. Do you see yourself eventually getting into politics in the future?

40Glocc: Definitely. I believe that no one should get bullied on. You think that the system is suppose to help us out but the system ain’t always fair. I fight for the underdog. I am definitely going to pursue politics in the future.


INTRO: I am going to call you the ‘West Coast Bully” because it seems like you have gotten into it with a lot of artists?

40Glocc: (laughs) Some people call it hating but I call it fighting for what you believe in. Its competition at the same time. I believe that if you a fake you a fraud, you trying to be me I don’t feel like you should be in the position that you are in.

INTRO: I feel you!

40Glocc: That’s as simple as I can put it.

INTRO: I know that you are doing your thing overseas touring. What is it like to tour overseas?

40Glocc: We go big, we go hard. Trying to stay in Europe as much as possible. That's where the euros at (laughs)! Fortunately 50 (50cent) was able to put us in a position to travel like that. A lot of other artists aren’t fortunate like that.

INTERVIEW WITH GANGSTA BOO

“The whole thing was super surreal. It was like I was in a fucking movie”

Inquiring minds scrambled to get the 411 on the news reports that were plastered on the news and the Internet that Lola “Gangsta Boo” Mitchell was a suspect in an armed robbery case. The news caused Lola “Gangsta Boo” to issue an official statement in regards to the case on Friday, December 11, 2009


OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM GANGSTA BOO
"I, Lola C. Mitchell aka Gangsta Boo, was not, I repeat, was not involved in any kind of conspiracy of any kind involving a robbery.

I am being implicated false on statements and terms. I have no connections with any unlawful activities with the suspect Marcus Curtis or anyone else involved in this matter.

I was neither questioned nor informed of any such charges brought against me before a warrant was issued which lead me to turn myself in.

I feel like I have been publicly slandered and targeted because of my career, I am innocent on all charges and the truth will prevail in the end."

So what’s next on her list? Well INTRO got the chance to talk to Gangsta Boo while she was in the studio in New York.

INTRO: I have read the reports and went over you official statement. I know that a lot of people are more interested in knowing if you committed the crime or not. I really want to get away from that get away from that and ask how did you first find out about the charges?

Gangsta Boo: I found out from my mother. The detective came to see her and she called me after he left. You know how it is when you see your momma’s number in the caller id when she calls. You are thinking “what she want now”? She told me “The police just came looking for you” I was like “Oh my God, what the hell, the police came”? She gave me the number and I called the detective and he told me what was going on. I asked him “Me? Are you sure”? The whole thing was super surreal. It was like I was in a fucking movie. I just couldn’t believe it. I just got a DUI. Right now that is the worst thing on my record right on my record.

It is crazy! The process is crazy. It makes me look at a lot of people in jail saying that they are innocent different. I am now on the inside verses the outside looking in on some shit like this and I don’t even know where the hell it came from. It was like a fan gone mad. I am guilty by association. I knew the but I didn’t know him like that. He was an associate of an associate. It was somebody that I kicked out my crew months ago. I don’t know where this came from.

INTRO: So it was someone still holding animosity.

Gangsta Boo: Ain’t no probably to it. Everybody that knows me knows I don’t have to do anything like that. First of all there is nothing for me to get in a Dollar General. Don’t take this as being conceited but I try to surround myself with a lot of successful people. If I am ever down to that point I am cute enough, single, no kids, so I can always go to a dude or one of my friends. I would never have to do nothing low level or some shit like that. I can always spit a verse or something. There is a whole lot of things I could do than to do stuff that would end my life or my career. I preach about that. My brother has a robbery charge and I was mad as hell at him when he went to jail and then he went right back in for it. I am super pissed at him you know. Its not something that I am worried about getting props for or not. Its just the whole process. God must really be trying to show me who really down. This is so huge. It was a huge question mark in my life. I know for a fact that a blessing is coming behind it. That is my thing cause that is what I believe. Things being that crazy in your life can’t nothing but good come to you later in life.

INTRO: How has the industry responded towards your situation? Did anyone reach out to you or were people choosing not to associate with you because of the charges?

Gangsta Boo: I know a lot of people but that doesn’t mean that I associate with them. I am cool with the people that I was cool with before this happen. The situation brought a lot of attention to my name. I have a lot artists hitting me up on Twitter like “Yo! I been meaning to get in touch with you” I am like “Damn ok” you know what I am saying. So its like a gift and a curse at the same time. I am not being mean but I am not really into to this whole industry friend thing. I been in this for a long time. Making friends in the industry is something that I am not really keen on doing anyway cause it ain’t sincere. For the most part its strictly business anyway. I am down for those that are down with me. Like I said its God’s way of saying that “I am about to bless you and these are the type of people that you are not going to want around you because whatever you are what ever happens this is what they are going to do”. Only time will tell.

INTRO: I know that you have a lot you are trying to get done in the studio. What type of feel are you going to have for the new album?

Gangsta Boo: A lot of emotion. There is not a particular feel that I am going for. I have always been one of those type of artists to write about how I feel. Whatever I am feeling is what the people are going to get. They are going to get a whole lotta “Gangsta Boo” stories about her life.

INTRO: do you have any special features on the album?

Gangsta Boo: Well right now the mixtape that is out right now is like an album. Its not your typical mixtape where I would freestyle over everybody else’s beats. I am with Drumma Boy and everybody know s who he is He produced half the tracks. Shawty Red produced a couple of tracks. I have a record with Gucci, Shawna, Crunchy Black, Angel Lola Luv talking for me. I recorded a record with Nicole Ray and Lil John. I gotta couple things under my sleeve.

INTRO: Who would you like to work with that you haven’t worked with yet?

Gangsta Boo: I am going to be honest with you it would not be another rapper it would be more like a Rockstar like Pink.

INTRO: What! I think that would be a hot collabo.

Gangsta Boo: To be honest I don’t really listen to a lot of rap unless its me, some ole shit if mine., 3 6 Mafia, Kanye, Outkast, stuff like that. I may listen to a mixtape here and there just to hear what they are talking about. I mostly listen to alternative music. I listen to the Alanis Morrisettes, the Aviril Levines, the Sticklebacks, One Republic stuff like that. Rap to me right now is at a state of emergency. It sucks right now. It ain’t gonna make or break me to collab with someone. It would be cool but its not something that I am dying to do. I would rather do a collab with a Rockstar or somebody that is on a higher plateau that can bring certain things out of me. I feel like I have capitalized and mastered this rap shit. I need somebody that is going to pull something else out of me than the regular sixteen bars.

INTRO: Do you have any other projects that you are working on?

Gangsta Boo: I am working on voice overs. I have been in and out of LA looking for the best agent so if anybody has an agent to refer I am looking in California or even in Atlanta. If you know anybody that needs a voice over let me know. I also have my own record label Crazy Mind Entertainment. I had a couple of artists. One is incarcerated and the other one doesn’t listen cause he is set in his ways. I am definitely looking for some artists preferably producers. I can consult a lot independent artists and producers. I can help the producers get their beats sold. That is how I met Drummer Boy. I was buying beats from him and helping him get his beats sold. In my free time I do study law and psychology.

INTRO: Do you have any charities that you are working with or that you support?

Gangsta Boo: At the moment I do not. I would love to speak to the youth, young pregnant females, and black males because I am from Memphis and I have seen a lot coming from Memphis. I have four brothers. Feel that can offer words of encouragement for them.

YOUNG BREED INTERVIEW

“That mixtape market is Triple C’s we claiming that and and owning it”

INTRO: Whats been going on with Triple Cs? What mixtapes did you guys do?

YOUNG BREED: We back in the lab. Our album is in stores now “Custom, Car, Cycles”. We are working on the new album. “Custom, Cut, Clarity”. We have “Sticks & Stones” we about to release in a minute. That is the groups whole mixtape that features Gunplay, Torch, and myself. We also have our own mixtapes we are gonna drop. You have Rick Ross about to drop that “Teflon Don” so you know that is definitely about to be a problem.

INTRO: I heard that this one is suppose to be better than the last one.

YOUNG BREED: Yeah its got a movie coming out with it.

INTRO: Are you in the movie as well?

YOUNG BREED: Yeah! The whole Triple C’s in the movie. I want everyone to check that out. I am going to be about 7ft tall. That is the only time you are going to see me that tall.

INTRO: How did you hook up with Triple C?

YOUNG BREED: Well I was a solo artist here in Miami and I was just putting out street singles. They were catching its buzz all throughout Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. You know that the whole southern market. Ross noticed me cause I had the streets blazing. The birth of Maybach was 2008-2009 and that is around the time that I got signed to the label. Since then I have been working and grinding. I was in the studio with Gunplay, Torch, and Ross and we were dropping so many hits that they felt that it was time for Triple C to get that new look and that is what we did.

INTRO: What started you to become a rapper?

YOUNG BREED: I always had a love for music. I used to want to be a DJ and scratch the ones and twos every now and then. I have developed a liking for the music so I started writing rhymes and free-styling in high school halls. Everybody in the hood started listening to what mixtapes I put out. I just grew a fan base and kept it pumping from there.

INTRO: The character that you played was it more so like playing yourself?

YOUNG BREED: Yeah! I don’t want to give up to much of the movie but its about stuff that we have been thru. Its one of those classics. It was just some thug shit. I was kinda self portrayed by myself. I wouldn’t mind persuing a career in acting. Yall gonna see whassup.

INTRO: How would you describe yourself as an artist?

YOUNG BREED: I am just a real around the board rapper.

INTRO: What is the feel of the mixtape “Sticks and Stones” that fans can expect?

YOUNG BREED: Its straight hardcore gutta street shit. Its not like other albums. Its just us cutting loose in the studio, rapping, and making music for the streets. We are so much focused on making radio singles. We are giving the streets a lot of freestyling and just hot songs that are bubbling in the clubs. We just gave them the Triple C flow you know what I am saying.

INTRO: As a solo artist did you have any mixtapes that you did?

YOUNG BREED: Yeah we got my “Extortion” series out. I think we up to volume 5 on that. I had “Young Boss, Dollars and Donks”. We have “Project President and Trap Talk” coming soon. That mixtape market is Triple C’s . We we claiming that and and owning it by saturating the mixtape market. That’s for the streets and I feel that is who we need to feed. Those are our consumers, audience, and fans. They love us so I am not going to stop doing it for the mixtape circuit.

INTRO: Is there a particular artist that you would like to work with that you have not worked with yet?

YOUNG BREED: I would like to work with Justin Bieber. On the female side I would like to work with Jazmine Sullivan. She is real talented she does her thing.

INTRO: Do you have any other projects that you are working on?

YOUNG BREED: I have my clothing line called “Uptown Appereal” under StillIncOriginals.com. You can order our sweat shirts and we also have nice shirts for the ladies. You know I am just pumping my brand right now. We rep so hard that they liked the way that we dressed so we decided to give the public an opportunity to get their hands on it. Its going to be in stores soon. We also have a book deal on the table. We are in the process of working on book tour right now.

INTRO: Is the book an autobiography about yourself?

YOUNG BREED: Its almost like a autobiography. Its about one of my homies that just got out of a federal institution. Its based on a true story vibe. The book is called “Diversity” by Andrea Pearson and its at Barnes and Nobles. The sells of the book have been good and we have been on a few tours for that. We are thinking about doing a movie for the book. Its about a young youth growing up and his uncle was a made man and he got murdered so its up to the nephew to continue on with the family business. Its a real good book and I think that my hood and ghetto niggas can relate to it. It will open up their mind so they can see something new.
