Aight folks, I was just going through some of my old interviews and I thought you'd find this Point Blank one interesting. It's from like early 2000. Fucked thing is he got locked up for a few shortly after. You gotta love this cat, he always tells it like he sees it...
Tell me about your new album.
POINT BLANK: It’s called Bad Newz Travels Fast. I got everybody who anybody in the South on the record. UGK, Willie D, DJ Screw, C-Note of the Botany Boys, Mean Green, Lil’ Keke, everybody who was on “Wanna Be A Baller”, Wreckless Klan, C-Loc, South Park Mexican, Ganksta NIP, just everybody. I got everybody in the South down wit me man. I did songs wit Big Mike, everybody.
That’s a lot of guest appearances but is there a lot of Point Blank on there too?
Hell yeah there’s a lot of Point Blank. I got ten albums worth of songs.
You must have been working on that for some time, to hook all those names up.
Three years, that’s why you ain’t heard from me. I been workin’, gettin’ my business together. I got my own company Wreckless Entertainment, I got Wreckless Klan Productions, I got Wreckless Klan my group, Water Boy Productions. Man I’m finna blow the fuck up, ain’t no stoppin’ me. Only thing that was stoppin’ me was the devil. Now I got Jesus in my life I’mma be a millionaire man. I was in the movie H-Town M.O.B. I came through and everybody in the South on that.
What producers you got on your album?
Platinum and gold producer Mike B. That’s my sole producer. Dude that fucks with ‘Face, Big Mike. Joe Trax, J.B., Rico, Swift, all the hard hitters man. I got my own production company, I produce too.
What type of songs you got on there?
Man, I got shit for everybody man. I got songs that 40-year-old people can listen to, I got the hardcore shit, I got the shit for the women. I got everything man, it’s an all-round album, it’s all 74 minutes. I give everybody everything, I ain’t tryna cut nothing back.
How does this one compare with your first three?
Man this the best album I ever made. The album off the hook. There’s more to come. I’m gonna go further than 2Pac. I’m way smarter than Biggie and I ain’t goin’ out like ‘Pac. That’s the one thing I got over 2Pac right now. I do respect them dudes. Eazy-E, all of ‘em, I love ‘em. Run DMC my idols, Michael Jordan my idol. But Run DMC ya know - that’s why I started. After Bad Newz Travels Fast then I got Bad Newz 2000 starring DJ Screw, the Down South Don, he screwed-up my whole album. The Wreckless Klan new album comin’ out called Wreckless Times In Tha Ghetto, I got Tha Cutthroats comin’ out, they album called Sacrifice. I got The Best Of Point Blank comin’ out which I’mma get paid off all the stuff I didn’t get paid off, I’m gonna re-release every album on one album, that gonna be a double CD or a triple CD, however long it gotta be. Then I got Ice Lord of the Wreckless Klan, Horrifying Truth, I got a lot of stuff goin’ on, I got the new South Park Coalition album comin’ out. It’s goin’ down man.
Takin’ it back, you’re from Chicago originally?
Yeah, I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I went to Farragut Career Academy, the same school Kevin Garnett come from. My favourite teacher was Mr. Raper. He tried to guide me right back then but I was just goin’ left. Ya know, I got it all together now.
Listening to you and Ganksta NIP I always got the impression that your shit was a little deeper.
Most definitely ‘coz I kick the real life stuff, I don’t hallucinate. I don’t talk about what I don’t have, I don’t talk about the cars in every song. I just talk about what I go through man, I can’t tell you what I’m finna rap about, I just rap straight from the heart.
Did you ever follow the Nation Of Islam?
I never was in the Nation Of Islam. I believe in Jesus Christ. That’s NIP and Dope-E man. Ya know what I’m sayin’, they misled? I pray for ‘em ya know, but I can’t follow that ‘coz they don’t believe in God. I believe in God.
When did you leave Chicago?
I got here in ‘92 but I came in Houston and then I left ‘coz I didn’t like the schooling. So I went back home, I was gettin’ in a buncha trouble, me and my brother .38, R.I.P. I miss my brother man. I wish he was here right now.
That’s five years he’s been gone...
Yeah, he died August 18th, ‘95. He been gone a long time now. I got ‘.38' tattooed on my neck, I got ‘fuck you’ tattooed on my stomach and ‘Point Blank’ on my chest. I wanna say rest in peace to Fat Pat too, Screwed-Up Click. I’m part of the Screwed-Up Click now.
You’re a big influence, especially in Texas because you’ve been around.
Yeah, everybody’s been bitin’ my shit since I been gone. But now I’m back claimin’ n’ shit. Ain’t nothin’ but respect. Like Three 6 Mafia, they tried to sign me. When “Tear Da Club Up” first started gettin’ hot Paul used to call me every day. Then when I told him the figures I wanted he stopped callin’. I’mma tell you the truth. It’s all for the best.
What’s the Houston rap scene like at the moment?
Man, a buncha haters man! I’m not finna lie to ya, I’m not finna sugar coat nothin’. I’m not finna think of what to say to you. You ask me a question I’m gonna answer it straight up. It’s a bunch of love, true enough, but it’s a bunch of haters, don’t nobody wanna see nobody else come up. Ain’t nobody out here really got no money and did what they supposed to do - and I’m just tellin’ you the truth. None of ‘em come back to the hood and do what they supposed to do. Get they money, run and hide, they high cap. They don’t take care of no business. They ain’t lookin’ out for nobody, they haters and they jealous. There’s a buncha jealousy goin’ on out here and a bunch of big-headed, fake-ass MCs. I’mma tell you the truth, I’m from Chi-Town. I’m in it but I can tell you about these cats ‘coz I’m not from here. These cats fake man, a lot of ‘em.
But you must be tight with everyone on your album?
I’m cool with a lot of ‘em but a lot of ‘em I ain’t cool wit, it’s just business. A lot of ‘em I’m cool with and have a lot of love for but ya know, several of ‘em is fake-ass niggas but I just put ‘em on the album ‘coz it’s business. Learn how to separate the business from bullshit. I’mma tell ya like this man. My mama told me if I ain’t got nothin’ good to say don’t say nothin’ but I got to comment. Master P gave me a gold plaque but my kids can’t eat that plaque. You understand what I’m sayin’? The cat owes me some money man. I want my money. I love Master P, ya know what I’m sayin’, I got No Limit shit on, I go to No Limit’s store, buy all this shit. But I just don’t respect that he one of the top paid men in the world, he in the books, he do interviews with Puffy and Russell Simmons, and he round here owin’ muthafuckers money. Pay people for what they do man. That man never thanked me, that man never told me shit. And I’m on this double-plat.
Over here the rap scene’s always been more into New York, more into the idea of freestylin’ and shit like that.
I like Jay-Z, I love DMX. But them (freestyle) niggas be talkin’ that crazy shit. You got a lot of people that can freestyle like Klondike Kat. There’s good people out here, ain’t even been heard yet. Muthafuckers like Z-Ro. These muthafuckin’ niggas out here, they get this muthafuckin’ money, the ho-ass nigga’s the ones that’s makin’ it ya know what I’m sayin? I ain’t speakin’ on all of ‘em. I’m just sayin’ these bitch-ass niggas gettin’ all the breaks. All the real dope-ass niggas strugglin’ man! They tried to black-ball me after N-Tha-Do’, honest truth.
Scarface always got respect from Texas over here.
Yeah Scarface got love, ya know what I’m sayin’? Scarface tried to sign me a lot of times but you know I was caught up in them contracts. Scarface told me I was too dope not to be heard. Willie D said I had a dope-ass name. They my homeboys. Rap-A-Lot was doin’ so much stuff. Lil’ J love me man, I love Lil’ J. Lil’ J the king. Lil’ J started this shit. He used to call me, he don’t call everybody.
And you’re feelin’ UGK also?
I love UGK. I started with UGK. We did some good videos. I used to tour with UGK before Prone even came out. I used to perform my stuff on UGK’s shows. I got nothin’ but to show Bun B and Pimp C love. Bun B all over my album. I did songs with Bun B that we ain’t even put out yet.
Do you look at the Internet?
I ain’t got computers and stuff. Through Jesus I just started bein’ blessed. I’m a struggler man, I’mma surviver, I live off the streets. Anything I can catch, kill, eat. I went through a lot of different stuff, picked up a lot of cases. I was on them drugs real bad. I ain’t gonna lie to ya, I was smokin’ that weed, I was smokin’ that fry, goin’ crazy man. Picked up a lot of cases and I’m in drug class. I just wanna tell all the kids it ain’t the place to be. They be trippin’ on that water water and the shit’s drivin’ muthafuckers crazy man. Muthafuckers on the news the other day in South Park, killed this girl. All on TV tellin’ the laws they killed her. Then they just had a dude on TV today runnin’ naked on the freeway. That’s that fry man, that’s like the new millennium drug, smokin’ sherm. Killin’ us man, killin’ all my homies. I don’t smoke no mo’. I don’t smoke weed, I don’t smoke fry, I don’t smoke nothin’. I smoke a bunch of cigarettes ‘coz I just gotta have that puffin’ feelin’. But you know, I’m finna get cigarettes that ain’t got no nicotine in ‘em.
Cigarettes will kill you quicker than the weed man.
I know but is there any way I can get some cigarettes with no nicotine? I just need to puff something.
Those nicotine patches are supposed to get you off that shit.
I’m not addicted to cigarettes. I smoke ‘em because I guess it just reminds me of the drugs.
How old are you?
Twenty-eight.
So you feel like you’ve cleaned up now?
I’m in the process of cleanin’ up. I’m not finna lie to you and tell you I’m fully clean, I went to drug class last night, gotta go tonight.
So you’re seeing more clearly now?
Yeah. And when I look at these stupid muthafuckers smokin’ that shit I be like ‘damn! that’s how I be actin’?’ I hate to see it, it hurt my heart. You know this when you see these platinum muthafuckers and don’t hear from ‘em no mo’. You wonder what they doin’. Muthafuckers be drug addicts, locked up. They don’t know they be blessed man.
For people who don’t know Point Blank, how would you break down your shit?
I’m hardcore man, ghetto rotten to the core. Get your head out the ghetto your body’ll follow, I’ll tell ‘em you lose it all today where I’mma go tomorrow. I kick the reality shit, I kick the hardcore shit. I don’t like that old happy-ass shit. I love that hardcore, straight-to-the-point, street rough shit. Tough lyrics that make sense, mean something ya know what I’m sayin’? Different styles, I kick everything man. I can get on the mic when any rapper rap.
You ain’t into flossin’?
Nah, I ain’t with that bullshit.
Do you travel around and get love?
Yeah I travel the South, I done toured with everybody - all the big names. I just ain’t gettin’ my card man. I been puttin’ it down and these muthafuckers act like I don’t exist and they know me. I’m just sayin’ they don’t mention me, they don’t holla at me and when I see ‘em they like ‘what’s up Blank?’ I don’t speak to these muthafuckers, they holla at me. Then they don’t holla at me on they records and shit so where the love at?
Are you still rollin’ with the Wreckless Klan?
That’s my group man, for life. PSK is my nigga, I brought him in the game bottom line.
So everything’s gravy right now?
I got four children. A son and two daughters. I got one on the way right now, my girl she nine months she was due on the 13th.
So she’s due any day now?
Yeah, she’s sittin’ right in front of me now, belly bigger than Humpty Dumpty. That’s my fourth child.
Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl yet?
Girl. Three girls, one boy - he the bull.
How old is your oldest child?
Nine. That’s my son, he on the album cover. That’s my daddy on top of the paper and that’s my momma like holdin’ her cheeks. All my family, my uncle, they all involved. If it wasn’t for my parents and my family and my friends, I wouldn’t be nothin’. Jesus first though.
It sounds like you’re on the right path now.
I ain’t got time for no play man, I don’t work for free. I’m goin’ back to the Houston rap scene, you got all these labels, they wanna do compilations and they come to a muthafucker and want you to give ‘em a song free. They don’t wanna give you no muthafuckin’ money, they don’t wanna give you no muthafuckin’ points. These muthafuckers talkin’ ‘bout promotion - they wanna make all the money man. I ain’t greedy, I want my whole click to role. I like to role by myself, they got to have their own cars anyway. You can see me come through, big Expedition, drop-top, Testerossa. I want my nigga ridin’ Expedition, I want my nigga ridin’ drop-tops ya know what I’m sayin’? I travel with a wardrobe. Niggas ain’t got no clothes I let these niggas wear my muthafuckin’ clothes and shit ya know what I’m sayin’? I don’t like these niggas lookin’ like no scrubs when I’m lookin’ fly.
Respect for that.
I wanna send a lot of shouts. I don’t wanna forget nobody. Eightball & MJG, they my partners man. I love the M-Town nigga, my daddy was born and raised in the M-Town. Little do they know I was locked up in the M-Town ya know what I’m sayin’? All my nephews and family in the M-Town. I love MJG, Eightball, UGK, Scarface my nigga, Ganksta NIP, SPC, Wreckless Klan, Screwed-Up Click, South Park Mexican, everybody who anybody, I love ‘em man, they my niggas. Ask any of them cats about me and you gonna hear the same thing. Southwest Wholesale, Robert Gilliman, that’s who brought me back from the grave. He put some money in my hand, all bullshit to the side. Anybody I missed, it ain’t no offence ‘coz I can’t think of all y’all muthafucker’s names, ya know what I’m sayin’? And I hate sayin’ a muthafucker’s name I have to whip ass in the future. That’s the only reason I really don’t send no bunch of shouts, there’s a lot of fake-ass niggas out here and I send ‘em a muthafuckin’ shout and be whippin’ they ass the next song. But I’m just sendin’ everybody love ‘coz I been reading The Bible and you can’t have no anger, you gotta forgive everybody so I ain’t got no beef with nobody. I forgive everybody. I keep it real. I’m in the street broke I’m in the street paid. I’m in the street slab I’m in the street hoodoo. I ain’t got to wear a mask man. I’m there broke or paid, that’s one thing about me. I’M THERE BROKE OR PAID. I go to the hood, do what the fuck I wanna do. I’m through with the street man. I got love for my street niggas but it ain’t the place to be. So that’s why I’m just gettin’ my house together, I got my friends over here now hookin’ up these big screens. Big screens in every room. The girls in they room just chillin’ man, makin’ my house the way I want it to be ‘coz we livin’ in Revelations. Right now. And it’s finna get worse man.
But you’re takin’ care of your kids.
Yeah, that’s what it’s about man. Take care of your family man. Family and friends, cut all this muthafuckin’ high-cappin’ out. You showin’ all this shit and you gonna get took know what I’m sayin’? They gonna take that shit. Man, don’t come around me with all that bling bling’n. I’ll leave yo’ ass dingle ling’n know what I’m sayin’! I was on a path of destruction, I ain’t gonna lie to you. But I saw the light man. I got so much to say you better end this shit! These other muthafuckers sound like dummies man, listenin’ to ‘em in interviews on the radio, they ain’t got shit to say. High-cappin, talkin’ ‘bout all the shit they got. That’s all they do man. Don’t nobody wanna hear that shit. I’m the hardest thing gonna come out the South.
