They’re alot of polotics they had to pay that 3 Million to get us off Bad Boy so they weren’t gonna spend anymore money than they already spent.”
“ Yeah yeah Ruff Riders is definitely still goin’ strong.. Im the main man over there right now. Um as I am rebuilding that back up to as strong as it was I’m pullin’ D-Block up the walls slowly. Yanno I mean that is my main goals right now to get the R Factor how strong it used to be and bring D-Block up one day at a time.”
“I mean definitely. Now more so than ever before. Yanno when we was coming up it was really more underground. Now mixtapes are big, mixtapes are everywhere and its now harder to get on them and its just most of the mixtape DJs have record deals got their own spot, yanno just hip hop is getting bigger every day.”

I like the new artists, and all that but I dont think I could start listenin’ to them until for a few more years. I listen to the old cds. Like I’m stuck on them. Im stuck on Puns album, Bigs album, Reasonable Doubt and Cuban Link. Im like an old head.”
