Did you exceed that on Supa Gangsta, Extraordinary Gentleman?
On Supa Gangsta, Extraordinary Gentleman, I did. I tried to take it a step further. I tried to use the same formula and the same energy, the same mindstate. It’s more advanced and more sharper. It’s more Godfather-ish. How much of an influence are movies like The Godfather to you? Very much. Very, very, very, very much. It’s about a certain type of man who carried himself a certain way. It’s always influential. It always sticks in the head and I always remember it. Are you looking forward to seeing American Gangster? Yeah, you know that. I’ll be there early. I’ll be at the matinee on that one. What did you learn from making your sophomore solo album Time Is Money that you carried over to Supa Gangsta, Extraordinary Gentleman? Nothing. I didn’t use nothing from that. But I had a more mature mindset and made something more mature. I didn’t use anything business-wise. I kept that maturity from Time Is Money and probably got more advanced with it. How happy are you to be at Koch right now?
