I don’t even think about it. <b>The music business is pretty much going in that direction.</b> I don’t know. That’s just… that’s probably not… People want the actual CDs not no shit that’s disposable.[/quote] Whew! Turns out the music industry can just relax now. [quote]<b>There’s talk of a new album for you. When’s that coming out, like what’s up with that? Can you tell me what stage you’re at as far as recording?</b> Well, I’m bout to start working on the gospel album. <b>Yeah, the gospel album. It’s like a double album right?</b> It’s two different albums. Two albums, separate albums. I got a couple more tracks to do on it and that’s done. It’s the first time anybody did anything like this—two separate albums on the same day.[/quote] Now it's fine that DMX has never heard of Use Your Illusion I & II from Guns 'n' Roses, as certainly DMX is and was totally immersed in black culture... [quote]<b>Are you following the presidential race?</b> Not at all. <b>You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.</b> His name is Barack?! <b>Barack Obama, yeah.</b> Barack?! <b>Barack.</b> What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa? <b>Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.</b> Barack Obama? <b>Yeah.</b> What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here. <b>You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.</b> I ain’t really paying much attention. <b>I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…</b> Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack. <b>So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?</b> Nope.[/quote] I'm breaking up the quote box here just so that we may catch our breath. As an interviewer, what do you say once your subject has said something so batshit crazy to you? [quote]<b>But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.</b> I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.” <b>Right, exactly.</b>[/quote][/quote]
