Mercedes S500 - Rock It A To X To The Z

Required Interview

X: A Geo! Or a Hybrid car!

2NR: Did you have a favorite car on the show?

X: The yoga girl's car. The big yellow Land Cruiser. That shit was banging. We put on monster truck tires. We put a yoga studio in it-with hardwood floors. It had a gong. It was crazy.

2NR: How do we get you to do ours?

X: I have nothing to do with the picking process. Go to the website. I don't know anything about it until I tell the person.

2NR: What are your three rules of business?

X: Get a good lawyer. Get good management. Get a good business manager.

2NR: What's so important about those three things?

X: You don't need them, but it's in your best interest to have them!

2NR: Your fifth album, Weapons of Mass Destruction, is dropping soon. If you could do something over with past albums, what would it be?

X: Nothing.

2NR: Not even the promotions on the last album?

X: F**k it. Everything happens for a reason. I don't go by how many records I sell. I still have songs on the radio-from the first album to the last. It's the longevity of these albums that perpetuates my success. Whether I sell 500 thousand or two million, I'm still doing what I like to do: performing live and touching the fans.

2NR: What jobs did you have before you made it?

X: I had the regular shit. I worked at Wendy's, a movie theater, at a car wash. And I used to work at the Original Cookie Company at the f**kin' mall!

2NR: Looking back, did any of those jobs help you today?

X: Yeah. They made me realize I didn't wanna do that shit!

2NR: If you were to quit music today, what would you want to be known for?

X: Being authentic. Steppin' it up and pushing the album out. Beating the odds!

2NR: You've been doing this since 1992. When did you start getting paid what you were worth?

X: Man. I guess I started making cents from the second record.

2NR: What did you want to buy?

X: A car. Like a stupid ass.

2NR: So you'd do it differently if you could?

X: A house would have been good. When you see a dream come to fruition you want to do it the way you imagined it in your head. When a kid becomes an athlete or entertainer he thinks about buying a car, or going to Vegas and getting a stripper, or going on vacation with his girl. In my mind I wanted a f**kin' car! So I went and took my little chips and bought my little Benz and f**kin' drove around!

2NR: Do you still have it?

X: Hell no! It was a piece of shit!

2NR: You are in XXX: State of the Union playing a small arms dealer. Big roll or small roll?

X: It's a huge roll. I don't die, and my character appears throughout the movie. It's pretty cool.

2NR: How does that fit into your life plan? Will you get Will Smith-y on us?

X: I don't know. That guy gets $20 million a flick. I don't know if I could shoot that down.

2NR: Right Guard Xtreme Cool Spray. Big roll or small roll?
