DX: Rap audiences are notoriously fickle. Do you worry about being forgotten while you’re doing your bid?
P: Nah, I ain’t worried about a fickle rap audience, because our audience is different. The audience that we bring to the table; they always there. We got the hood, they always there for us, they know what time it is. Just like we need them, they need that Mobb Deep, they need that P.

DX: A lot of the fans seem really loyal reading the blog, what have you gotten out of that experience of doing the social networking site?
P: It’s good to hear what they’re saying and answer their questions, because they going off speculation and deception and different things. They don’t really know, so I can just tell them what’s real.

DX: A lot of fans are disappointed about Mobb affiliates like Big Noyd not being on the album, how do you feel about those opinions?
P: I mean it’s cool. That’s how they feel, that’s how they feel.

DX: You made some noise with that "Gay-Z" comment, what’s behind the renewed hostility towards Jay-Z?
P: I always talked shit about him because I feel like he a bitch ass nigga for saying that line in a song since day one. But I put our differences to the side so I could handle the Sam Scarfo project that he was doing, 'cause Sam was the first person he signed to Def Jam when he became president. We thought it was a project that was going to go down and that’s our people, so we got involved with that. We had a meeting with Jay-Z and we didn’t talk about none of that bullshit, we just talked straight business. That didn’t really work out, so it is what it is basically.

DX: You’ve gone the indie route on your solo projects, so to what extent is the G-Unit affiliation helping your career in terms of album releases?
P: My solo album is on an indie, Voxonic that’s what we doing right now. That’s how we got our deal over there, Fif looked out for us. So we able to get our money at G-Unit with Mobb Deep, and we able to get our independent money at the same time.

DX: How did you feel when 50 said Koch is a graveyard, did you take that personally?
P: Nah, ‘cause I started that “Koch is a graveyard” shit, ‘cause it’s like a mixtape company.

DX: Now with the Voxonic deal, your voice will be recorded in over 1,400 languages.  What does it sound like to hear yourself rapping in all those different languages?
P: All I could say is it’s amazing.  The future is here, it’s about to go down.

DX: You’ve talked about an autobiography you plan on finishing while you’re locked up, what sort of things have you been putting in there?
P: I’m just letting everybody know my whole life since I was a kid and how I grew up, and my experiences with Mobb Deep and my solo career, the record business and all the touring around the world. It’s a pretty interesting book, because the time we came up was an ill time in rap, around ’95 when our second album The Infamous came out.  The whole sound that we put out there changed the game. [Along with] Biggie and Nas and Wu-Tang, we shifted the game. So it’s just an ill time back then. To be able to put a book out about it is better than a two, three minute song, because I can really sit there and explain for you certain shit that you’ll never get in the song.

DX: So what will you be spending these last few days doing before you have to go in?
P: These last few days just work, work, work till the very end. I’ma be working till they put the cuffs on me.
