HHDX: If Jay called you right now would you talk to him? If so, what would you say?
AMIL: Of course I would talk. Me and Jay never had bad blood. There was never any beef between me and Jay.
HHDX: What would you say or you just gone leave it like that?
AMIL: Yeah, I’ll just leave it like that.
HHDX: So, how do you compare yourself to female emcees like Kim, Remi Ma or even Rah Digga?
AMIL: I’m not the one to talk about other female rappers. Truth be told, I think we’re all in the same boat. It’s hard for a female rapper to even blow like that. I’ve never gone around claiming I was the best emcee and “blah, blah blah.” I record how I feel at the time and whatever situation is going on at the time. I just record what’s going on in my life. There’s no comparison to another female when in regards to writing because I write my life. Nobody can compare ones life to another. Everybody has their own situation and whatever. I’m not a battle female emcee just talking about nuthin.’
HHDX: So do you think the streets are ready for Amil and what you got coming? Do you think they’re excited about it?
AMIL: I don’t know. I know I have a fan base and with my fan base, yes. It’s a well-anticipated album. If there are some haters disliking then they’ll still be hating. (Laughs), So I don’t know. It is what it is.
HHDX: (Laughs) Yeah, so do you ever find yourself reminiscing or rockin’ out to The Dynasty album or Hard Knock Life Vol.2?
AMIL: No.
HHDX: I heard three of your tracks, one is called “Bitches” “Tears of a teenage mother” and some freestyle stuff. What can we expect this time around? What’s different?
AMIL: More or less that, its not so much “glam”. I’m not really talking about what I have. Last album, I was talking about what I was doin’ then. I mean, I was fresh off the streets and seen a little bit of money and at the time it was big money to somebody who ain’t ever had money. I was doin’ what everybody was doin’ at that time-especially Roc-A-Fella, bragging about this that and the third. This time I’m around I’m being real. I’ve been through shit in the last few of years. Now, I’m just doin’ my music.
HHDX: What’s your inspiration behind what you do?
AMIL: My children. They keep me going. That’s it.
HHDX: Well anything you want to say to the people or mention anything you think I left out? This is the opportunity.
AMIL: I want people to understand that everybody is just human. I don’t want say I’m coming back to the game because I’m not. I don’t choose to be in the game (like that). I’m an artist and music is a part of my life. I’m not a character that is made up. These are real issues and I hope that it sends out a positive message. I know that there are a million people going through what I’m going through. I want people to know that they’re not alone.
