8.   Which Organized Konfusion song and album are you most proud of ?
A:   Very humble and proud of all the albums...but my favorite is tied between the equinox and stress the extinction agenda...moreso the equinox bcuz of the structure and concept.

A:   The slickness is definitely my son.. my best off spring far as my solo ventures...i purposely recorded that album wit no specific direction in mind..i wanted to be more free far as songs, concepts and word play.. but "prettyblack was my favorite because i put that record together by myself with some great contributions from my brothers large pro, rockwilder...who also came from the organized camp and madlib...i wanted to be a lil more soulful, saavy and street with prettyblack.

We both been overseas rocking shows extensively...but as solo artist. We NEVER did an Organized Konfusion tour overseas... so promoters u need to holla. It'll be history in the making.

15. What do you think about Hip Hop today?
A:   It is what it is... there's a lot of changes that took place..a lot of bad..a few good...it's a new generation and the responsibility level of upkeeping our artform and culture dropped. People don't think 4 themselves no more. Now folks like songs because everyone else likes them. I'm not mad at them tho because there's still good music being released and there's listeners who are young, vibrant and truly know what time it is about my music and good music of today. We can go on 4 days about this but we gon keep it pushing.

16. Did you like this Q&A?
A:   It definitely was a pleasure and honor. It gave me a chance to reconnect wit some and connect wit some new folks that enjoy and embrace good music. I also knew certain questions were coming. Some of the questions are seldomly asked...but at the end of the day it only proves that we made a valiant and creative contribution and if it wasn't felt, lived, played and embraced..i wouldn't be here being interviewed for such a much needed, connected and creative blog as this one.... truly appreciate the opportunity. Much luv, respect and admiration to paul, the crew(contributors), Holland..and all my fans, supporters and friends..from d.j's , mag writers, radio support, distibutors to record shops, skater shops, graf shops, b boys and b girls all over the world...i luv and appreciate you. Thank you 4 molding me into the artist/ entity i am today.
