tharealest.com: Let everybody know the situation with the album
Tha Realest: We still got the Witness Tha Realest project live on deck, I got a couple of distriubution deals on the table right now we tryin to see which one we're gonna roll with, man yall know how the business is, you gotta get the business right first, muthafuckas come and short hand you sometimes, ain't tryin to give a nigga what they want, so you know, that's why it's takin so long, but the project's still on the table, and we're tryin to get that muthafucka out real soon, and I'm gonna throw this mixtape out hopefully by March, get that muthafucka on the plate, and the Witness Tha Realest album change every other week man because I keep hookin up with muthafuckas I never thought I was gonna hook up with, and the album just keep getting better and better, and I keep pullin songs, and the songs I pull, I'm puttin em on the Tenkamenin album, that's gonna be the album comin out right after Witness Tha Realest, I got Tenkamenin, I'm bringin that sick ass nigga back to life, so that's gonna be comin right after Witness Tha Realest I'm gonna throw that one out, then I'm gonna drop the Mug Rebels , you know what I'm sayin, that's the third one. It's a group with my Southern niggas SD3 and a whole gang of other muthafuckas, we gonna be on the ho grimy and shit. So, a nigga got a lot of projects goin, it's just tryin to get that right distribution cause like I say, once you start going you don't wanna get caught up and don't be getting your money right because these muthafuckas will fuck you man. So, I know y'all like "man we tired of this nigga sayin he gonna drop his shit this year, or this month, or next month", but you gotta understand, if you doin your shit on some independent shit and you ain't gettin the right deal or right amount of money per record, it's really hard to just take sucka ass deal when you got fucked already in the game and you don't wanna get fucked again.
tharealest.com: What can people expect with the mixtape?
Tha Realest: Really, with the mixtape thing, the mixtape thing keeps changing also because at first, the mixtape was gonna be straight collabs, with me on every song with a lot of my homeboys in the industry, but then I was like fuck that, I wanna call the mixtape "Check Out My Melody Volume 1", with all unknown unsigned muthafuckas. What I wanna do is, and I already got the idea copywritten just incase some sucka ass muthafucka hear the interview and try to get the shit done. But just like the NBA, NFL draft, I wanna get all the record labels together, and some of the unsigned tightest muthafuckas that ain't got no deals, and niggas are gonna be auctioned off to the record labels, and the record labels gotta sign these muthafuckas, whatever record labels come to the shit gotta have paperwork signed saying that they will sign at least 1 or 2 artists performin at the audition for it. Thats what I want, cause there's a lot of young niggas that ain't never had the chance to get that big record that have heat, and I wanna get these niggas on my album. I went from havin collabs with niggas that's already out there, to tryin to get collabs with niggas you ain't never heard of cause I keep bumpin into so many raw ass niggas so that's why the mixtape got slowed down a little bit but the muthafucka is still comin along. I'm already 8 songs deep I wanted to put like 14 on it. But if worse come to worse, if I can't get it how I really want it, I'm gonna throw out the mixtape with the main names on it.
tharealest.com: Where can people get the mixtape?
Tha Realest: Strictly internet, you know what I'm sayin, strictly internet and mom and pop stores. It ain't gonna be no promotion on it or nothin. It's gonna be like if you hear it in the hood, or if you see a bitch shakin her ass to it in a strip club, that's exactly where you gonna find it. It's not gonna be in any stores, it's gonna be strictly internet and mom and pop stores. I will make sure it gets in mom and pop stores, it ain't gonna be like Best Buy or Target, it ain't like that, it's a hood album. No market no promotion, it's gonna be a hood album. I'm happy if 65 thousand muthafuckas get it in they hand, cause that's what the album's gonna be, I want it to be like a bootleg, I want the bootleggers to be like this the hottest shit they got, bootleg the muthafucka, I ain't even lookin to get no money off the muthafucka, just straight underground, I want it to be some raw sewage type shit.

Tha Realest: (Starts humming Check Out My Melody, laughing). Man niggas think I hate Ja Rule or kill em on site. Ja, an artist being an artist, muthafuckas know when they do some shit they shouldn't do. When I'm fuckin with all these artists everyday, goin into different cities, and as an artist and as man, I question myself as to why he would do certain things, why would he rap Pac's song "Pain", word for word like a nigga ain't never heard that. "...they never take me alive I'm gettin high with my 4-5", I'm like nigga why would you even do that same beats, same rhymes, and throw that shit out there? Why would you rap over Dogg Pound's "Dogg Pound 4 Life" beat? And keep damn near half the song the way they had it, you know what I mean, flip the shit, if you're gonna use the same beats, flip the shit, I just felt it was disrespectful cause niggas over here in the westcoast trippin off that shit, I don't know how take it in the eastcoast, no disrespect to you niggas, niggas love New York and Jersey, what up to all my niggas in NY and Jersey, but niggas be like damn this nigga doin it like that, rappin over "So Many Tears" beat, damn nigga when's it gonna stop? I mean it's cool if that's the type of rapper you are, but I can't just go around hear the shit and not speak on the shit, so niggas think I'm just ridin on this nigga cause it's somethin to do, nah it ain't just somethin to do, niggas take that shit personal nigga, niggas out here love Pac homie, niggas gonna die with Pac homie, so when niggas do that shit, why not speak on that shit homie? I'm gonna speak on it. Now this nigga in interviews sayin "You wanna see Pac come back?", alright you Pac or somethin now? Niggas ain't tryin to be Pac homie, niggas out here thuggin my nigga doin they own thug shit. So when niggas speak on that shit like that, and I'm so called a real ass rider for this music and these streets and I don't speak on it, I'm a sucka ass nigga. Nigga I came from Death Row, ain't nothin changed, I just ain't on Death Row nomore, you know what I'm sayin, that's what's up.
tharealest.com: What can people expect in 2004 for Tha Realest?
