Are there any new MCs that you’re checking for right now?

I’m listening to everybody. Definitely all the new cats like Red Cafe, Maino, Drake, Kid Cudi and Asher Roth.

It seems like everyone is shouting out Drake these days, huh?

Yeah. It’s a big world out here. It’s not necessarily about me liking all of the newer cats because I have to hear a nice body of work before I say I like an artist. But for them to actually capture my ear—it’s because they’re poppin’. If the kids love them you have to give it a listen.

Do you have your own favorite 16 bars that you’ve recorded?

It’s really all for me. I can’t even give you a favorite.

Okay, I’ll do it for you: Jay-Z’s “Resevoir Dogs.”

You might have hit it right on the spot [laughs]. The day we did “Reservoir Dogs” we were flying back to JFK from a show and we got the call that Hov wanted us to come. We went right to the studio with our luggage on us. I wrote my part right in the studio. Most of my rhymes are done right on the spot
