shit man spider and lil e r related threw marrige ,this shows 50 got the west on his back

Mixtapetalk.com: Alright, you just dropped the mixtape, and obviously there's a lot of tracks on there taking jabs at The Game; is the beef between the two of you a personal beef or is it more of a loyalty thing, because he's taking aim at the whole g-unit camp.

Spider Loc: Well loyalty is a very personal word within itself, and I find myself a very loyal and personal with my G-unit affiliates. So, you can say it's personal, but at the end of the day, it's all for the purpose of business, and I may perhaps take this business kind of personal.

Mixtapetalk.com: Before joining G-unit, I heard the two of you battled and established something from there.

Spider Loc: Yeah, we met battling. Dmx had us battle each other, and I smashed him. That sparked us to exchanging numbers and communicating with one another. As his situation progressed I saw no effort upon him to help mine do the same. I didn't take any ill feelings towards him, but I assessed our interacting with one another based on the outlets that were available to him. Even based upon are initial meeting, he knew I was far better than him, and he never attempted to forward my situation. So, instead of looking at him like a source, I always looked around him to seek a source that he was already tapped into. He never appealed to me in the industry, because he never made me feel that what he accomplished will ever benefit me, at all.

Mixtapetalk.com: Basically, the relationship changed when u got signed?

Spider Loc: The relationship changed before I got signed. As he experienced more and more success, his personality started changing. Although we were never close, the distance grew between us. And once I found myself associated with G-Unit, his attitude turned totally sour. He gets real feminine like; he acted like his feelings were hurt.

In the early days, I had an opportunity to speak with his brother, when the funny attitudes and miscommunication was going back and forth, and he explained to me that [The Game], the bi*ch boy, had mixed feelings because I joined in on the wrong side of a bad situation. And that sounded so silly to me, because when I actually met him I was closely associated with Suge Knight, and he was signed to Dr.Dre, so I couldn't understand how it could be on any worse sides of his situation, at that point.

But, I'm the West Coast best kept secret, and he been knew that. The same way John the Baptist was put on the earth to prepare a way for Jesus Christ, I believe he was given the opportunity of fame to prepare a way for myself, and he didn't meet that obligation; he suppose to let the world know I was coming a long time ago.

Mixtapetalk.com: Do you feel like he thought you were there trying to take his spot?

Spider Loc: I felt like he was there holding my spot that was already preserved for me, for years. He just had a brief time to sit in my spot; he didn't have a spot to take.

Mixtapetalk.com: How did the signing come about with G-unit; Young Buck put you on, right?

Spider Loc: Yeah, I bumped into Young Buck in Atlanta Georgia, and he heard me do a freestyle; he was so impressed that he took me to his video shoot in Los Angeles, about a week later for "shorty wanna ride". So, I was in front of 50 cent, and I took the opportunity to do the same freestyle, and upon completing the [freestyle] 50 cent offered me a position on the G-unit roster.

It's a lot of times I get questions asking me was I brought on to replace Game, and I want everybody to know that when I joined the team The Game was in good standing, whether it was underlying issues between people, but that's either here or there. His album was yet to drop, and when I went to the video shoot, he was there later on that day. There was no replacement factor, we were there to co-exist.

So, I was being bombarded in the streets with those insulting questions, because his character and the streets of Los Angeles is not the way he presents it to the world. And the more his name came up in the streets, the more I began to realize this. As I would communicate these things with 50cent, and ask him questions on how he felt I should deal with it in the streets, he would advise me to never get caught up in any negative conversations about [Game]. [50 Cent] would also advise me to make Game appear in the best light possible, because it was our responsibility to take care of him and up hold his image. Even when he got to hollering his G-unot gay sh*t over and over again, 50 repeatedly advised me not to get involved. I don't even think [50 cent] wanted it on his conscious for stirring up tension out here on the West Coast; that was the last thing he was looking for. He let me know it was unnecessary to respond to dude, or get involved. I took it upon myself after so long of hearing the same bullsh*t.

I'm a G-unit crip; I have a G-unit tattoo on the back of my hand, and I have a strong following out here; my homies out here is just as passionate about it. It was just so ridiculous to hear him going around hollering that G-unot sh*t, that I felt like he needed to put in his place. He's misrepresenting the West Coast to the world. West Cost Rydas don't wear butterflies on their face, we don't wear tight draws, and sag our jeans and show it to the world, we don't do DVD's and run around like divorcees, we just ride. We don't dress mutha f*ckas up in costumes on stage and beat them up, and all that weird sh*t. We don't run up on n***as in there town at the radio station, and leave with one of our homeboys getting popped, and going on DVD crying, and blaming the person we mad at for doing it. We don't do none of that sh*t. And I want to apologize to the world for the way [Game] misrepresented us. That's not us at all.

Mixtapetalk.com: Game has said that he's ending his beef with G-unit, is it dead on your end also?

Spider Loc: There was really no beef; it was just a statement that needed to be made. I feel that beef is when it's a confrontation, and I never felt a threat of any confrontation while any of this was going on. Like I said he's like a woman that's been divorced; running around running her mouth to everybody she can find. He's mad that's he's no longer apart, and he's mad because he's finding out that his popularity was due to G-unit, and now that he's not G-unit he's watching it decline. That's something very shocking for him to go through.

Mixtapetalk.com: Alright, back to the mixtape, for those that haven't picked it up, what can they expect?

Spider Loc: It's Bangadoshish; that's a word that describes me in my old essence. I'm a banga first of all, and we all know what a mac-a-doshish is. You can expect to hear - it's a funeral for the b*tch boy, for one, and it's an introduction for some of my up n coming artist, that I have signed to my production company, that I'm trying to work through this G-unit West channel. We just working on big things for this year, and the mixtape was just an introduction.

Mixtapetalk.com: I see you have Lil Eazy on there also, can we expect for collabs from the two of you?

Spider Loc: We'll Lil Eazy is one for 50 Cent's favorites out here in the West; so, whenever the Big Boss wants to hear his voice we're going to hear it. That's my homie; we actually stay in the same building, so we get down. We are also related through marriage in a distant way. But he's a real Ryder from the City of Compton, and he also has a real rich legacy to his name, based on who his father was. So, I have no problem getting down with Lil E, I like the song he did on the mixtape too.

Mixtapetalk.com: You've also had a few words with Yukmouth, which caused one of your concerts to be cancelled, what was that all about?

Spider Loc: Yeah, I have initially blamed Yukmouth for making a direct complaint and getting the concert cancelled. I don't really know how true that is, but on my way to Oakland, I know the promoter had become aware of the problems with me and Yukmouth. So, I'm on my way to Oakland, and I started receiving emails from the promoters and club owners that they were very scared that something was going to take place. Then the L.A gang patrol jumped on the highway and left to go to Oakland. I don't really know who was responsible for canceling the show. I just know I was prepared and ready to do, and then it was cancelled.

Mixtapetalk.com: Alright, you're in the studio working on the solo project, when can we expect for that to drop?

Spider Loc: You can expect the best from the west up until date.

Mixtapetalk.com: Sometime this year?

Spider Loc: Yeah, we're trying to get it out for the fall. We have a lot going on, right now, so it's just slow bakin'; getting it to perfection. Actually, I have a movie, titled "Crenshaw Blvd", so I'm going to be kind of busy on that. I just recently started the production company, and we just trying to get these artist situated and the G-unit West going [strong]. I have been heavily involved with real state to. A good associate of mine, Russ Whitney Jr, he's helping me invest out in Florida. I brought a lil bit of property, and I see a lot of progress going on in that situation. So, I'm just very busy.

Mixtapetalk.com: Speaking of the West, how do you feel about the whole movement?

Spider Loc: It's some good things happening on the West. I can't help but to love the west when it's at it's worst or best, because that's home for me. I'm very delighted about the opportunities that' being sent our way. My lil cousin J.Rock got a situation with Warner; he's coming up, and you got you're boy G.Malone - it just seems like new life over here. And in large you can't help but to thank 50 cent, because he lit the flame under the b*tch boy [The Game], and that kind of got the world looking at the west again. So, I just really appreciate the big boss for keeping it hood. When you look at the origin of this G type music, you have to look at the west. So, I think he deserves a lot of accolades, because it's a high risk when dealing with artist from the West, but he's a firm believer in higher the risk the higher the reward. I believe have heart, have money, and he has the same spirit I have.

Mixtapetalk.com: Can we expect more mixtapes before the album drop?

Spider Loc: No doubt, you can expect part 2 of the L.A. Kings. Featured heavily is Snoopy Blue, Smurf, myself, and some other up n coming artist. The mixtape circuit for me is an opportunity for me to help some of these cats that's hungry. So, I use my outlet to let their voices be heard. And also to give fans some guttah sh*t that they're not expecting.

Mixtapetalk.com: Now, G-unit is that team to be on right now. Every time I turn around y'all signing somebody or collaborating with somebody. How has things changed for you since signing with them?

Spider Loc: It's been amazing. I have a permanent smile on my face. To have this job is actually a life long dream of mine; it's not just something that I recently been trying to chase and accomplish. From a young boy I have always had that yearning to be a rapper. I would have been satisfied with being able to feed my family with my music on any level of the game. And once I became so humble to accept something so small, then to be blessed is so over whelming - it's just a great feeling, and it's hard to describe.

Mixtapetalk.com: Alright Spider, anything else you will like to say?

Spider Loc: I just want to say I love my daughters, and stay tuned for the G-unit takeover. Keep your ears wide open, because I'm going to get in them soon. And check out the site www.spiderloc.com, I'm on there all the time. Special invitation to all the ladies.
