DX: Switching gears again, I don’t know if I got the number right, but at my last count there have been something like 30 members of the Three 6/Hypnotize crew. So why has the camp whittled down to just a few now?
DP: It ain’t never been that many, unless you counting friends.

DX: Well, I’m counting like everybody that was on the compilations and stuff.
DP: Yeah, but it was never that many. It was just six [members] in Three 6 Mafia, and then another four or five signed to the label like Frayser Boy, Lil Wyte and all them. The only thing that whittled down was the group, not the outside artists that was signed outside of the group. And [the reason for that] was just different things, man. Different strokes. But you know, they doing they own thing and we wish ‘em the best.

DX: Does it ever get to you guys, bother you guys that so many of ‘em kinda been out there talking, saying y’all took from ‘em, cheated ‘em and stuff like that?
DP: Nah, hell no. The only [way that] would really bother us is if we really did it. But they can’t say we took from ‘em when they got four bedroom houses and five or six cars in the driveway. The people under them really know what’s going on. They see them when they go to the mailbox and get that check with that Hypnotize Minds grim reaper on it and they run to the bank, or no to the liquor store, and they cash it and everybody sit up and smoke all night. So as long as they still happy and we still happy they can say what they wanna say ‘cause they know the truth, that they getting paid.

DX: Do y’all actually prefer being the Last 2 Walk or would you rather have that big crew around y’all?
DP: Nah, it’s better like this. Wouldn’t you rather be solo like Ludacris [click to read] and make bazillions, or have it be like 30 muthafuckas in a big group?

DX: I don’t know, some people like the family thing I guess – if it’s family for real.
DP: Yeah, well I got a family at the house. I got a 12-year-old son and that’s all I need. I can trust him. He ain’t gonna leave me.
