hé, elle est pas si moche que ça cette pochette...
pour ceux qui aiment o.c, y a un long article d'elemental dispo sur le site DITC
où il explique qu'il n'aimait pas "time's up", que le beat l'ennuyait (il n'a pas fait de 3ème couplet).
il raconte aussi qu'il refusé l'offre faite par puff daddy de remixer entièrement l'album "world...life".
+ la connexion avec monch, etc... très chouette.
extraits :
'Times Up' was a mistake," he states. "I mean, if you listen it's only two verses. The beat was so awkward it took me a while to write to it, that shit was kickin' my ass. I ain't even know what to do with that shit. I finished up the second verse, and I'll never forget, I was at my moms crib sitting in the basement writing to that shit. I finished the second verse and I was like, 'You know what, I'm done with this shit, I can't write nothing else to it. And I didn't like it, it was unfinished to me, to this day it's still an unfinished record, but Buck was like, 'Yo, leave it. When we recorded it he was like, 'Leave it, this is all you need. I came up with the 'Hey Young World' chorus, from the Slick Rick shit. And it was just like, I didn't like the record, I felt like it was incomplete, but unbeknownst to me, when that shit came out, that shit was like an underground hit." "Serch and Buck mainly was like, 'Yo, this is it, this is your introducton right here," he continues. "Large heard it. They was calling me the mad scientist at the time too with that shit. The whole record to me was wrong, I was rhymin' off beat to the shit, it was just wrong to me, it felt wrong. But sometimes, the things that you think are mistakes be the ones that take your shit to the next level, or gain the respect of your peers or people that purchase albums."
"Puff wanted to remix the whole Word...Life album and I was like, 'Nah," he states. "I stepped to them for management and all that shit. Puff was calling my crib and everything, 'Yo, we wanna fuck with you but we want to remix the whole album. 'No, you know what I'm sayin'. To this day, I used to bite my motherfuckin' lip before like, 'Damn, you coulda did it with Bad Boy and let him do what he... But I can't compromise my postion and what I do. I don't feel it's a mistake to this day. I don't care about the money, I don't care about the fame, 'cause if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen, if it's not it's not. But it was like, 'I'm not compromising my shit for nobody man. And at that time, who knew Puff was gonna be the man that he is right now. It didn't matter to me, it was just like whatever. Cool, I'm glad dukes took me into consideration to even try to come at me like that but, 'Nah, you ain't remixing nothing."
