Off Topic With Styles P

Styles P's 'Time Is Money' may not be available yet, but the D-Block general is. And while the music world is buzzing about Diddy recently giving Styles and his LOX brethren ownership of their publishing from their days on Bad Boy, BV decided to give the Ghost a break and hit him with a few Off Topic questions.

If the L.O.X. held a 'Chappelle Show' style racial draft to replace you, which of the following rappers would they pick and why?

A. Canadian Rapper Tom Green
B. Mexican Rapper Chingo Bling
C. White rapper Paul Wall
D. Chinese Rapper Jin


I gotta ride with Paul Wall

Paul Wall? Why?

He's white, but it's like he's got a lot of black in him. It's almost like the best of both worlds.

Is Michael Jackson still black?

Halfway.

Halfway? Ok, state your argument.

They will still arrest his f--ing ass.

Imagine this hypothetical situation. D-Block is looking for a female member and they're having auditions. A young lady comes in and spits the following verse:

"Well, you might think I'm trashy, a little too hardcore
But in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door
I'm a redneck woman
I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raising
I say, 'hey y'all' and 'yee-haw'"


Do you put her on?

Yeah, for the hell of it. It might work.

Those are actually lyrics from Gretchen Wilson, a country singer.

I would definitely put her on. See, I'm smart! Country makes a lot of money.

O.J. Simpson was recently signing authographs at NecroComicon , a horror convention where you can find the men behind the masks of Jason Vorhees of 'Friday the 13th' and Freddy Kruger of 'Nightmare on Elm St.' Do you think O.J. is playing himself or pimping the system?

I gotta ride with both on that one. I would say he's playing himself, but since they keep putting him in that category anyway, he might as well pimp the system. And they already took all of his money, so he's gotta pimp the system.

If you cold give Hurricane Katrina a different name, what would it be?

The Hurricane the government was waiting for.

Reparations or Revolution?

Revolution, always. Reparations you'll never get back what you're owed. You've got to take back what you're owed.
