08/27/07 - Yung Joc Explains His Pacman Alter Ego

J-Banks · 08-27-2007, 10:04 AM

When Yung Joc talks about his hustle game being tight, you better listen. The boy is stacking that paper. Big paper. He ranked on the Forbes list of top-paid rappers — a great feat for anybody, but especially for somebody who made the list with just a debut album under his belt.

"Thanks to God first, the fans, I have a wonderful support team: Block Entertainment, the Warner Music Group, Atlantic, Special Ops and media outlets like this one here," Joc said on the humble last week. "It takes more than the average civilians could ever imagine to be a star or a celebrity. It's a lot of hard work, determination and ambition."

Joc's aptly titled Hustlenomics comes out Tuesday. "My hustle is hip-hop," he said. "That's what I'm good with and I have to supply the demand. People want a hit record, I have to give that to them. People want to see a good show, I have to give that to them."

Diddy, Rick Ross, Game, Jim Jones, Snoop Dogg, Young Dro, Bun B and Trick Daddy are among the guest stars on the album, but the Atlanta native said the cameo that will have all the people talking is Pacman — the little guy from the "Coffee Shop" video and single.

"You got T.I. with T.I. vs. T.I.P. — he had a situation where he wanted to challenge himself," Joc said, explaining a character he created. "My alter ego is Pacman. I used to watch 'Martin' where Martin had the little guy [Roscoe], I always did that. That was the thing where my mama had company and they would be in there on a Friday night ... I would come in there and do my routine. So I made the record ['Pacman']. It's one of those records where people listen and ask, 'Who was that?' And they smile all the way through. I notice everybody gravitating towards the song."

Joc, the flagship of Big Block's Block Entertainment, maintains that the gravitational pull of his music will continue to be built on making people party and hitting fans with concepts.

"I grew up listening to cats that people would never guess," he said. "People look at my collection like, 'Yo, you had The Purple Tape [Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx]? What you doing with this?' I love hip-hop. I'm a fan first and foremost. I may not be able to emulate the lyricist part of the lyricism, but I do understand concepts, a good vibe. I never try to be what I ain't. Whatever you hear me say, I did that."

Joc's currently on the Screamfest '07 tour, and for all you fashion fans, he has cut his hair in an old-school Gumby slope. ...

DON'T BUY HIS ALBUM!!!!

Clay83 · 08-27-2007, 10:46 AM

Joc is a one hit wonder, except this time around he doesn't have a hit. Coffee Shop is wick, wick, wack. Hustle in something other than hip-hop joc. This album is gonna flop hard.
