PART TWO
DX: Have you been keeping up with the news and what’s been going on in general?
Crunchy Black: Well, the part of jail I’m in, I can’t listen to know music. It’s just a couple guys. Usually, they sing songs that they heard before they got locked up or whatever. I really can’t hear no music. So, I write a lot of hooks. I write a lot of songs and stuff like that for when I get out. Sony got me working on a new album and all that. They even got a reality show they gone do for me. I’mma call it “Room 1” because since I been in jail, I’m in room 2. Everybody who comes into room 1 be tripping like a mutha fucka for no reason. So, I’mma name the show “Room 1.”
DX: What’s the biggest thing that you miss about being free?
Crunchy Black: The biggest thing I miss about being free, is really just traveling the world and doing me. I miss my kids, family and the Hard Head Money Gang. You already know.
DX: How do you feel about the re-launch of Three 6 Mafia, Da Mafia Six?
Crunchy Black: I think it was a good idea to put it back together because, we had a lot of things going on that a lot of guys in the group didn’t appreciate and things like that. But, I think that was a hard group and we needed to be put back together. However, I feel like me leaving would make things a little better.
[Automated Voice: You have one minute remaining]
I got one minute but I’m be able to call you right back, so stay on the line and I’ma hang up and call right back. I got a few more things I want to talk about.
[Phone hangs up for his manager to place more money on Crunchy Black’s phone card before calling back and continuing.]
DX: You said there were some things that needed to be brought up.
Crunchy Black: Yeah, I just wanted to talk about the Hard Hittaz Money Gang right quick. As soon as I get out of here, we’re going to drop the City of God from Steady Grindin. We got “Money Ain’t nothing to Play With” from me. We got Homey G with his album, and then you know Da Mafia 6ix. I want everybody to check out Da Mafia 6ix. I’m not a hater at all, I always loved the guys in the group. Even Juicy J for being my boss and teaching me how to run a business. I want everybody to check out that 6ix Commandments, Watch What U Wish, and The Reindeer Games project the Killjoy Club which is ICP[Insane Clown Posse] and Da Mafia 6ix.
We got the new CD out and it’s a double CD but it doesn’t come together. We just named them the same thing. CD1 and CD2 which is Blackout:La Familia and we got CD1 out right now on iTunes. You can pre-order CD2 right now and we want a lot of people to go pre-order this CD because if you do, we got some special shit for you. After someone pre-order it or most of those who pre-order the CD, they’ll get a t-shirt and if it’s cold, we going to send you a sweater with the CD cover on there.
Crunchy Black Talks YG: “I got shot in my mutha fucking head but God was on my side so I hope he got God on his side.”
DX: Nice fan service.
Crunchy Black: Yeah, but most definitely you make sure you give lil brother yo information. I know he probably already got it, so he can shoot you one ahead of time so you can rock it before everybody else can rock it.
DX: I appreciate the love man.
Crunchy Black: Naw, it’s love all the way around. I appreciate you and giving us a shout out and doing this interview with us.
[Automated Voice: You have five minutes remaining]
DX: Outside of artists within Hypnotize Minds, has any other rapper reached out to you?
Crunchy Black: Well not a lot of rappers have reached out to me in jail but you know, I got that Crunch Time album ready to go. I didn’t put that album out because I wanted to do it with a major label so I got the major under my belt through Sony. So I’mma drop that Crunch Time and I got Petey Pablo on a song with me called “Bang A Hoe.” You gone love that joint and I just sent that to Sony. Then, I got KC from Jodeci and the Ying Yang Twins on this other track and I just sent that to Sony. There’s this other track that I did with Big Jizzle from the Franchise Boyz called “Put In Work.” I basically reached out and they basically reached out. A lot of the old school rappers because the new school rappers, they just talking. They ain’t really nothing like we was doing. I don’t dislike them and I don’t hate em and some of them I bump their music. But, you know back in the day we did what we did what we talked about. Not to say you got to do what you gotta do what you talk about but, a lot of these guys these days, they just singing and doing songs just to be doing them. I fuck with Lil Wayne, real big too and I got a joint that I’ma do wit him. I got a joint I’mma do with YG who’s from the West Coast.
DX: YG? Hmmm. Did you hear about him getting shot some weekends back?
Crunchy Black: Naw, I didn’t know. Damn man, I ain’t hear that man that’s fucked up. Is he alright?
