How important is it to take the Hip Hop game from different business angles?
It’s very important. If your business ain’t even together, you won’t have the chance to maximize on the opportunities you get. You have to always stay on-key and aware of what’s going on around you. As an executive or as an employee, you have to know what demands need to be supplied before you can carry out and follow through on what needs to be done. You must first be attentive to the situation and realize what needs to be done. In the past it seemed that you weren’t happy with your label situation. Are you happy at Atlantic? We never had a problem with each other. I do feel that at the beginning of the relationship, I was working hard and separating myself from the corporation and just building my foundation. It has always been a partnership and a definite mutual respect. We definitely don’t have a problem working with one another and at this point. We’re friends. Are there any similarities between rapping and acting? There are no similarities. They are worlds apart from one another.
