/P>
SixShot.com: What about your clothing line? What’s happening with that?
Lil Scrappy: I had to put it on hold…right now folks are hungry for an album…so I had to pull it back.
SixShot.com: How long did it take you to do this album?
Lil Scrappy: It took me a year and half…the first year I was trying to find myself. Now that I’ve found myself, I don’t even have to write no more. I can just go in the booth and flow with it. It’s done in like an hour.
SixShot.com: It became natural for you.
Lil Scrappy: Right.
SixShot.com: Who all did you work with on the CD?
Lil Scrappy: Of course you know 50 Cent and Lil Jon are executive producers on it. I got 50…Lil Jon…Young Buck (on first single), Olivia, G’s Up…(etc.).
SixShot.com: Sounds like that’ll be a CD you can just put in and let it play.
Lil Scrappy: Yeah. I’m not one to brag but you know…and don’t want to get arrogant about it…but yeah.
SixShot.com: Besides your style and you having some super producers behind you, what makes your CD stand out from the other rap CDs out now?
Lil Scrappy: Because I’m not just talking about dope or killing nobody…it’s way beyond that…it’s versatile. I got something for the lame…the n***** that ain’t never had nothing. Just because they didn’t have nothing they thought they were lame…I got something for the hustlers, the thugs, the women, the baby mamas….the baby daddies…I got something for everybody…the club goers… n***** that want to kill… n***** that want to fight.
SixShot.com: You didn’t leave anybody out did you?
Lil Scrappy: I didn’t leave anybody out. A lot of rap stuff these days leave the regular n***** out and got the regular n***** thinking they got to sell dope…You feel me…That’s just a broke man hustle…a broke man hustle don’t want to work no regular job for nobody…he want to get out there and make his own money and be his own boss…I got songs for them too…but I got songs for the other dude…the one that got a 9 to 5…he just want to go to work…f*** with the women…and hang with his n*****…real regular sh**.
