Field Mob: Coming Correct

PAP · 06-21-2006, 09:02 AM

AllHipHop.com: Smoke, why’d you switch names to Chevy-P?

Smoke: Maturity, grew older. I felt like it.

AllHipHop.com: How do you feel you’ve changed in addition to the names?

Shawn J: We’ve both got beautiful daughters. The maturity level changed. The priority list has been rearranged. We’re finally gettin’ to the right position that we should be [in]. Everything’s different now. We understand how to make music. We understand how to politic, which is the s**t that got us f**ked out the game last time. We understand all that… it’s…we know! We know what’s up now.

AllHipHop.com: Will the backing from Disturbing Tha Peace change the reach or awareness for Field Mob?

Smoke: Yup.

Shawn J: I think it was a great move. We wanted to move, and we had been playin’ with ‘Cris [] for a long time. We’re more friends than business-partners, I would like to say.

Smoke: Yeah.

AllHipHop.com: A lot was made of being allegedly misquoted over your comments about New York Hip-Hop. After all that, do you think that New York MCs take themselves too seriously?

Shawn J: I ain’t got nothin’ to say, whether they take themselves too seriously or not!

Smoke: I ain’t sayin’ nothin’ ‘bout ‘em, ‘cause the critics take it…they too sensitive. We ain’t got no problem with nobody, but, at the same time, freedom of sp--…we wasn’t dissin’ them then. We out in Cali now with Cali people jokin’ ‘bout how they be sayin’ “mark,” but it’s cool ‘cause we deal with these people – we f**k with these people. When you hear us talk, you’d be like, “Them mothaf**kas is country as hell!” We ain’t sensitive like that though. We understand [that] it just is that way.

Shawn J: I’m not talkin’ ‘bout New York. [Some] of them don’t like us, anyway. All they need is an excuse. [But] the people that do love us, the G-Units, [and] everybody [else]... I ain’t mad. It’s all the mothaf**kin’ broke mothaf**kas that’s mad! I got people out there that I like, man. I f**k wit’ ‘em. Then there’s some newcomers out there that want to start a beef. They can’t [succeed] with talent, so they need some controversy.

AllHipHop.com: It’s pretty obvious that the South has the majority—

Shawn J: We run s**t! We run s**t! No, we run s**t, say that s**t right, man.

Smoke: I wanna give a shout out to , MJG and 8Ball, U.G.K., and all the people that made this possible.

Shawn J: Don’t be mad at us. We runnin’, and we got the torch.

AllHipHop.com: In your opinion, what do the other coasts, like New York, have to do to get it back?

Shawn J: I don’t know what you need to do! I don’t know baby, I’m just sayin’ so.

Smoke: Everybody got they time. It’s just our time. You never gonna go back to the second grade again. Times change.

Shawn J: Look at Busta [Rhymes]. Busta Rhymes still makin’ hits, he ain’t complainin’. It’s a game. Look at the [Chicago] Bulls. The Bulls’ll never be what they was.

Smoke: They had they time. They had Jordan! Now it’s Lakers, and the Heat.

Shawn J: Know what I hate though? When they had it, they didn’t share it. Now, the West Coast, I love the West Coast, but they didn’t share it. And I ain’t mad at them for that.

Smoke: ‘Cause they went through what we went through.

Shawn J: I don’t blame them, but we share it. Look, you got the Hyphy s**t at the same time as the South doin’ it. You got poppin’, Dipset poppin’, you got Nelly!

Smoke: See, we share the game! And we gonna forever have it, ‘cause we reap the benefits of sharin’ it.

Shawn J: Look at Mike Jones! I heard Mike Jones a million times. Mike Jones got a Platinum plaque, man. Thank ya Mike, you gave the South more legs. Thank ya Paul [Wall]! It’s our time. That’s why Field Mob sound so good to you right now, ‘cause it’s our time! You was sleepin’, we been around! We been [doing] this for a minute.

AllHipHop.com: In addition to the misquote, you had some comments in Ozone magazine about AllHipHop.com. With both of these issues, what’s your opinion of the media?

Smoke: I hate the media! That’s the reason why everything is the way it is. If y’all were to keep it more one-hundred, cut-and-dry, [instead, everybody] is tryin’ to get a scoop of dirt on some s**t. They take the news, every lil’ thing, and they promote the , the beefs, and the bulls**t way more than you promote albums. AllHipHop.com, I love y’all, but if some s**t go wrong, y’all will put it on the front page. You’ll put ‘em on the front page ‘cause of a fist-fight. You won’t put ‘em on the front page ‘cause they album’s gonna come out today. No, that’s under the controversy. You’ve got the Rumors section – all that blah, blah, blah. Just look at yourself. Don’t blame us. I can’t call out everybody like that. Look at how the media made it look like we was tryin’ to diss New York. That’s the media.

AllHipHop.com: You both had some run-ins with the law. Did the media do too much to promote that?

Smoke: AllHipHop.com! You made us look bad. You lied. You found us when you needed an interview, but why the f**k didn’t y’all find us when we had our brush with the law? Get the real stories.

Shawn J: Controversy sells.

Smoke: [It felt like] “F**k Field Mob,” then come back and try to with [our] ass.

AllHipHop.com: Let’s get back to the music…

[Hearty laughter]

AllHipHop.com: What can we expect from this album?

Shawn J: A great album.

Smoke: The same thing we been giving you the last two albums – a hot album. We plannin’ to go triple [Platinum] this time, I mean, we gotta. I know everybody plans to go triple and they…do they thing. But we really plan do plan on goin’ triple.

Shawn J: High hopes this time!

AllHipHop.com: You had spoken about not wanting to be portrayed as comedians. With this album, is the tone overtly serious?

Shawn J: We still havin’ fun now. Put it like this: I don’t think [the media] understood us the last two [albums]. I understand that some people think we’re stupid. They see the single and the video, “Oh they stupid!” [It took them] to get the whole CD to say, “They not stupid, I got ‘em.” We not doin’ that this time. I can’t have pigs and all that in the this time, ‘cause y’all don’t know how to take it. I have pigs and s**t as a visual, I’m sorry. They gonna love me up-top [New York], and the gonna love me out West, and they gonna love me in god damned Iceland.

AllHipHop.com: You’ve got children with you now. As fathers, would you let your kids listen to your music?

Smoke: [to daughter] Do you listen to your daddy’s music? Do you like it?

Daughter: Yeah.

Smoke: Hear that! [laughs] She loves her daddy’s music. She knows what’s goin’ on.

AllHipHop.com: If not here, where would you be?

Smoke: [whistles] Damn! I don’t know about that one.

Shawn J: The penitentiary.

Smoke: Comin’ in your backdoor. [laughs]

Shawn J: In the hood.

Smoke: Lookin’ for a jux!
