On his favorite album: “The Chronic, Paid In Full, Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall, Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the key of life, U2’s The Joshua Tree, Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and of course, Biggie’s second album. I know I’m gonna get a lot of flack, but I like the second one better. Sorry.”
On changing his albums: “I would change Volume 1. It was so close to being a classic with songs like Streets is Watchin, Where I’m From, You Must Love Me, Lucky Me, etc…I think I ruined it with two or three records.”
On his favorite producer: “It’s a toss up between Rick Rubin and Dr. Dre for the greatest producer. Right now, I think Kanye is the best out now and my favorite to work with, although I have a great time with Timbaland and Pharrell.
On who he’d love to work with, dead or alive: “Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, etc… It goes on forever.
On who he’d like to have dinner with, dead or alive: “Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Martin, Malcolm, Muhammad Ali”
On his most embarrassing moment: “I came out to LA one time on the Hard Knock Life tour and I wore a different jersey for each city. The Rams used to be in LA but they’re in St. Louis now. I wore the Rams jersey and didn’t realize they moved.”
On the business man he admires most: “Bob Johnson. He created something for the culture and then was able to cash out at something like $3 billion. And Berry Gordy”.
