What do you think of how Mobb Deeps Blood Money did?
I’m kind of shocked myself. That was a good album. That was one of the best Mobb Deep albums I ever heard and I’m a true Mobb Deep fan. A lot of Southern artists don’t relate to East Coast artists, but if there is one crew I related to it’s them. It’s an honor to be around them now. It’s almost a disappointment looking at the sales. 50 structured us where even if the music doesn’t sell, niggas are still paid and more than fucking happy. We don’t deal with the problems of the hunger pains other artists have. When the stomach is grumbling, that’s when the problems come. 50 keeps us fucking fed. He keeps us overfed. Even if we’re waiting for our album to come out, we’re still full. You can come up with your best material and not have to worry about anything. Do Mobb Deep’s sales worry you about Buck the World’s potential sales? No, not at all because at the end of the day, the momentum comes from the artists themselves. At the end of the day, the music is going to do what God grants it to
