It just so happened to be on a G-Unit album?

DJ Skee: Yeah, it was the 'So High' joint.

What about the joint with Mary J. Blige singing on it?

DJ Skee: Actually we stole that. That's Hot Rod's shit (50 Cent's newest artist). We kept the hook, kept Game's part and cut (Hot Rod's) shit and put another motherfucker on there. That was supposed to be Hot Rod's single, but we rocked over it before anyone heard it.

What people don't seem to realize is that 50 Cent don't beef with niggas so much lyrically. He just fucks up their business and stops the money from coming. Albums are getting pushed back and guys are getting dropped from labels.

DJ Skee: Yeah, the beef is personal. But, at the same time, rapping is a business. If 50 or Game go out and shoot each other, one person dies and the other is going to jail for the rest of their life. It's too much money at stake. Game came back so strong because he didn't wanna get put out the game like Ja Rule did. It's serious, but it ain't life or death (like street beef). These guys got families to feed and people to look after.

Besides the G-Unit beef and the industry bullshit, what are the plans for the album?

DJ Skee: It's crazy because we keep going back and recording and we keep getting better shit. The 'One Blood' joint was just going to be a mixtape song. But the streets made it so hot we shot a video for it and it might become the single for the major album. It's getting so much airplay it's almost like we can't turn it down as a single. We're going day-by-day, but the plan is to drop to album, get some Black Wall Street guys popping, and the third album.

I know Game got a lot of songs in the tank. Are you guys going to take the slow approach with the album after this one drops or will you continue to keep banging em' out?

DJ Skee: I think we're going to try and take Game and sit him down for a minute. People in the industry always tend to oversaturated themselves in the market. After this album drops he'll have two albums out and no one can take credit for this one (50 Cent). So the time will be right for him to sit for a minute. The album is going to blast for a minute; we're going to have a bunch of singles off of it and it's going to last for a while. There's no need to rush. Continued on page 4 »
