	Del the Funky Homosapien posted Friday, May 9, 2008 I was just trying to handle my business pretty much. Part of it was I was studying music theory but that wasn't a big part of it. That probably could have been handled and dealt with easily but I had to do that while I was dealing with toxic people.
	Esoteric posted Monday, May 5, 2008 All the stuff that I sampled were from movies and dvd's that I already had. I did a little bit of researching once I got into the project and started taking things from some bands from the 70's and 80's to even things out. Some things are even originally songs from Europe or the US but they are Japanese covers...
	Blueprint posted Monday, April 28, 2008 Around the same time I did the Radiohead project I was discovering Funkadelic's album and in one weekend I started working on the same type of project with their music; putting original rhymes to it. I would've put it out around then but I didn't feel like I had the interludes to bring it together...
	FredNukes posted Thursday, April 24, 2008 Well, yes I am proud. Mostly because for the first time in my career I have a product which came out the exact way I imagined it. Sure it could always have been better but with the skillset and money I had while making it, I think it turned out pretty good.
	Ali Vegas posted Tuesday, April 22, 2008 It hasn't been frustrating at all. If you ask anyone that knows me they will tell you I'm the most cool, calm and patient person they know. You have to understand everything takes time to evolve and I understand that. I don't look at it as if its taking long, I look at the great things that are happening.
	Slug posted Monday, April 14, 2008 You know, I'm not sure if there is any conscious direction or comparison with the previous albums. Every record that we make is like an example of where we are today. I guess the difference is there's no samples on this record. It's like all organic sounds coming from musicians.
	Bone Thugs-n-Harmony posted Wednesday, April 9, 2008 Wish Bone: Yeah, basically we put the Strength & Loyalty album out there and we have the T.H.U.G.S. albums that we're working on. It's the 20th anniversary of Eazy-E's label. We're just keeping our heads above water. We're out traveling and working on another movie called Ghetto Cowboys.
	Keith Murray posted Saturday, April 5, 2008 First and foremost this is a mixtape album. I named it Intellectual Violence because violence is not a good thing, but if you use it intellectually it can be. My music is aggressive and thought provoking at the same time. I thought Intellectual Violence would be appropriate.
	R.A. the Rugged Man posted Sunday, March 30, 2008 Frank Henenlotter and I wrote it together. I knew him from his earlier movies Basket Case and Brain Damage and I was a fan. When I signed to Jive Records I said we should find this guy and have him do my video. They tracked him down for me and he directed the "Blood Shed" video for Crustified Dibbs back in 1993.
	Hakim Green (Channel Live) posted Tuesday, March 25, 2008 Honestly, what happened was a little over a year ago, I hooked up with Kris after not seeing him for a while. I ran into him at a show and like a light turned on in his head and he looked at me and said, "Hakim I have to be honest with you. I haven't done a real good job surrounding myself with intelligent people. It's time for me to take my career into another direction, and as I look at you -- you need to be on my team."
	Bugzy Bogart posted Sunday, March 23, 2008 Man, when you're an independent artist everything takes time. Mostly it's a money thing. Do a beat, chill for a month while I get more money up, record the vocals, wait another month, etc. Plus I found out my mother got cancer on January 23rd, 2006, so I took about a year off from music.
	HMD posted Wednesday, March 19, 2008 It comes from the abbreviation of my last name. Philly is a big graffiti city. People are always shortening things to three letters. I used to do graffiti so I used to write that and pretty much everyone calls me HMD.
	Lyrics Born posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008 Another important point is that there have been a million reasons why I was told I would never make it. Whether it be you won't make it because you're an independent artist or you make different Hip Hop than everybody else. I turned that around and said you know what...
	AZ posted Wednesday, March 5, 2008 It's a passion to me. I don't think I ever really said fuck it. At one time when I was on Final Call I just wanted to say fuck it to the fact that the game was switching and the people I was with at the time weren't doing what they were supposed to. But coming from a lyrical perspective, nah I never wanted to say fuck it.
	C-Rayz Walz posted Sunday, March 2, 2008 I just signed to Kings Link Recordz. I got hooked up with Echo1 who is a tattoo artist and a supporter of my music. He talked to his people and they made one plus two into three. We have an understanding and after I handle the things I have to do it's going down.
	Akrobatik posted Tuesday, February 26, 2008 I really just wanted something that signifies me. I feel you can turn any negative situation into a positive. I learned values through time with mathematics that a negative number can be a positive.
	eMC (Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Punchline & Stricklin) posted Saturday, February 23, 2008 Stricklin: The album is called the show. We just wanted to bring the fans into our daily lives when we are on the road. That's basically it in a nutshell. Everything you hear on there has some kind of history behind it.
	Pete Rock posted Sunday, February 17, 2008 There has been a time span between my last album and this one, it's been about four years. During those fours years I did so much research and music it's not even funny dude. People don't even understand what I have to offer. It's countless.
	Cymarshall Law posted Friday, February 15, 2008 The album is called "Freedom" and the reason it's called that is because all of my music speaks about freedom to you. The whole concept of the album is about stop telling us what to do. There are always people making rules and they are always the first to break them.
	STRESS posted Thursday, February 7, 2008 I mean I always try to stay consistent even when I change the production. I know some producers that will make three or four beats a day, or however many a week. Me, I'm real artsy with it, like if I don't feel it could be timeless I won't turn the machine on till I feel creative. It's kind of like a rhymer or a journalist
	Gift of Gab posted Monday, January 21, 2008 I wake up, eat and I'm either in the studio or I'm in deep writing mode. If I'm in deep writing mode then I'll either write at the crib or go the library. Maybe even get on the train and go for a ride, put on the headphones and write. My whole afternoon is dedicated to either writing or being in the studio.
	Big Noyd posted Wednesday, January 16, 2008 I named the album Illustrious because we were sitting back trying to really think, "Ok, what are we trying to showcase with this album?" You may not see me on MTV or BET or worldwide but in my right I'm a star. I mean I came from nothing and created something out of my life.
	Nicolay & Kay posted Sunday, January 13, 2008 Kay: We've known each other for quite sometime. I've always looked at Nicolay as someone who will always be honest with you, in terms of the direction you're going musically. As far as us going through the project and working, brainstorming and stopping each other before we got too far in one direction.
	Pace Won & Mr. Green posted Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Pace Won: Mr. Green and I connected through a mutual friend whose name is Kosha Dillz. Kosha Dillz was doing an EP through my myspace page. Kosha wanted to do a song with me and I was like cool. Mr. Green made the beat and I liked it.
	Prodigy posted Wednesday, January 2, 2008 You know just making sure hnic2.com gets real big, making sure my album is straight, making sure all the promotion and marketing ideas are good for how we are going to promote the album. That's basically it, because it's a tight album and I kept the home team there.
	One Be Lo posted Thursday, December 27, 2007 I think the difference between me and some other people is Hip Hop to them is a hobby or a business, but for me it's not either, that's who I am. I'm going to perform because that's who I am; I write rhymes and make music because that's what I do. And in my spare time that's what I do.
	Zero Star posted Wednesday, December 19, 2007 I think I'm going to call it Take'em or Erase'em: The MP3 Mixtape. It's a collection of songs I've done recently, some of them that maybe didn't make the LP. A bunch of freestyles. It ain't got no DJ shouting all over it. It's literally like a bunch of songs in mp3 format.
	Witchdoctor posted Sunday, November 18, 2007 To be honest with you I didn't even watch Adult Swim until they reached out to me. As soon as they reached out to me, I watch that shit almost every night dog. I'm a big fan now. I'm a big advocate for Adult Swim, my commercial comes on before the Boondocks so I'm on it and I'm probably one of their biggest fans right now.
	Royce da 5'9 posted Sunday, November 11, 2007 So I got on the phone with the street people he was talking about in his record and it just so happens that they felt it could just be squashed and not have to go there. We got on the phone and we talked like men and shit I don't have anything but good things to say about my man because he was a cool dude when I talked to him. So it's a wrap, no more words.
	Guru & Solar posted Tuesday, November 6, 2007 Guru: About 6 years ago through a mutual friend and we hit it off as friends, so we started hanging and tearing the streets of New York up. When I met Solar he was a well established individual, straight from the hood but well established.
