On his 2004 album What’s Wrong With Ill Bill, the Brooklyn emcee/producer had a song “Porno Director.” While the actual credits might go to his brother Necro who produced and directed 2003’s Sexy Sluts: Been There Done That, Ill Bill has openly rhymed about pornography in his music before the Internet supplied the libido and long before Mary Carey ran for governor of California.

Now a happily-married father, Ill Bill has little problem keeping it 100 with HipHopDX about his views on the correlation between Hip Hop and porn industries, with educated opinions – and quite a few laughs.
