You have co-producer credits on "Life's A bi*ch," "One Mic," and "Get Down." What was your actual involvement in each track?
The only reason I co-produced on "Life's A bi*ch" is bringing my father there to play trumpet. That was my first album and I don't remember what I might have added, but I credit L.E.S. with all of that. He did all of that. "One Mic," I basically put the whole thing together, I brought the record to sample and told him where I was going, but Chucky Thompson made it sound the way it needed to sound. I also did "Suicide Bounce" on Street's Disciple and the Rakim joint ["U.B.R (Unauthorized Biography of Rakim)"], I programmed the drums on that and added the sounds. It's not like it's a big deal. I don't think I could fu*k with none of thee niggas [on production]. If I feel like doing, I'll do it, but I don't want to be a producer. I just play with it sometimes.
