DX: Much growth on this album. What are some of the changes you’ve made?
BB: I’ve learned to love one another; be as kind as you can to one another, and whatever you do, Christ is the only way. And that’s what I’ve learned wholeheartedly, full-fledged, without any denial, without question. I see it with vision, I hear it with ears. I feel it all around me. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that that is the only way; there is no other way.

DX: Speaking of religion, you mentioned Islam in many of your lyrics. Is that another path you’re exploring?
BB: It’s about oneness; it’s about togetherness. I don’t indulge in wormwood. I agree that when you paint your emotions, when you control your senses, living in proper perspective, and once you take care of all those things personally, any outside interference is something that is a negative force. It makes the waters bitter and I don’t believe in that. So anything that is good, anything that is righteous, I believe in. You don’t have to believe in God if you don’t want to, it does not matter but when judgment day comes please do not cry if you don’t know who he is.

DX: So you’re saying you’re accepting everything that is spiritual and leads to the belief in one God, or am I wrong?
BB: At all times; and love and truth and understanding and infinity and everything therewith.

DX: Interesting. You mention your children often. How many do you have?
BB: 12.

DX: How does their fathers’ popularity impact their daily lives – or does it?
BB: It really doesn’t. They move on with their lives and I move on with mine, always being out in the world and doing certain things; certain sacrifices that have to be made in order for the career to continue to move and for food to continue to be put on the table. That’s basically how we’re understanding each other.

DX: What do you teach them?
BB: Take care of yourselves, take care of your responsibilities, love one another, stay a unit and stay strong.

DX: Track “On the Freeway” [click to read] from Heaven’z Movie - what inspired it?
BB: That was a song about sensuality. It was a song about having a good time with a woman; a different way to give her fulfillment and enjoyment. That was back in the days when you could listen to a record and not mind in the visual; that’s before the evil has been cast to the earth and it’s filled with wrath and it’ll do anything to subside the anger it has from not being allowed in heaven any longer.

DX: You also touch on your relations with females on different records and “Don’t be Dumb” [click to read] is a great example. How are men and women doing today in terms of understanding one another?
BB: Every Adam and Eve that are here are under scrutiny because the Satan wants to partake into their relationship; he’s looking for a place to stay. He needs somewhere to put all of his lust, all of his vanity, all of his flaws, all of his hate, all of his greed, all of his envy, all of his jealousy; so that’s what I think is going on in relationships right now. Once they can focus and know who it is – once they understand that Sodom and Gomorrah is not the right way – a woman is a woman and a man is a man. Once they understand those things, I think they’re gonna be just fine.

DX: Do you ever worry that your flow and delivery are too fast and the fans will understand the lyrics as a result?
BB: I don’t think that that’s actually a problem. If a listener likes what they hear, they’re gonna like it from the beginning of the song to the ending. And they’ll take from it what they can take from it and that’s always a good thing and not a bad thing.

DX: What artists stand out to you right now?
BB: I love old school artists; I love all of the old stuff. Uhhh, just everybody.

DX: Who does Bizzy Bone listen to?
BB: Everything. I like the old Whitney [Houston]. I like 'Pac, of course; anything that intrigues the senses in the right, particular way.

DX: You know any good jokes?
BB: Yeah I know a good joke. There’s a blind man and a man that could see and they’re brothers. And they’re sitting down. And the blind brother looks at the other brother and says “Hey.” He didn’t say anything to him so the blind man says, “Hey!” He ain’t say nothing to him again so he eventually got real pissed off and he said “HEY!” So while they were looking at the landscape, the other brother grabbed a pile of cow dung and slapped him aside the face with. And he said, “What the fuck you do that for?” Y’all just bulls shitting. So in other words, they were on a cow pasture.

DX: I never heard that one actually.
BB: I made it up, laying down in bed.
