nowhere like Saskatoon and rip shit. They appreciate that shit, unlike maybe in San Francisco where there could be three hip hop shows to chose from in one night so they are spoiled. But I love Canada and cool people, and the folks I've worked with out there were cool dudes.

Has working with so many Canadians been a positive or negative experience?

Working with Canadians has been really cool. I look forward to working with many more. Maybe I'll get Canada citizenship out the deal. Ha Ha! Naw, but for real it was positive to work with dudes out there mainly because they come from a different background and have different influences to bring to the table, so in turn we learn from each other. I think that is most important.

In your opinion what are the similarities and differences between the Canadian and American Hip Hop Scenes?

I think the main differences that I've seen is that Canadians seem to support their local artist a little more then around my way. I seen dudes out there buying their friends CD's and shit... but around my way niggas would rather buy a sack off of me then my music. Another thing is that in most of Canada, hip hop is new so the scene is young. Hip hoppers seem to be more enthused about the shit out there to me, and more chicks come out to the shows! But what is the same is that there is a lot of love for hip hop everywhere.

What do you like to do when you are not making music?

When I'm not making music, I'm hustlin' trying to make money to put the music out. Or maybe watching movies or getting drunk somewhere.

What do you want to be remembered by after you retire from making music?

Well, I will be dead by then because I don't plan to retire until then. But I would like to be remembered as someone very diverse. I want to be a person that has a dope volume of work without a whole bunch of bullshit filler albums to my credit. Just dope shit that is all different.

If you could assemble a hip hop team with yourself as the Captain who would be in your starting line up and why?

Well maybe I would have someone like Kool Kieth on the squad because he has the wisdom, because he's a veteran, and it's good to have a veteran on the team. I'd probably have somebody like Z-man or Busdriver on some rookie of the year shit. I like what they come with but can't wait to see what they do later. Then I'd have Jay Dee on production because he could compliment everybody as well as score. And lastly maybe Mac Mall or Andre Nikatina because we could make an ill combination.

Do you have any last words, stories, shouts etc.?

I would just like to say that Saskatoon is the shit. I miss it out there especially this time of year when it snows. Other than that keep supporting and check out my site rapitalism.com. Peace.
