Louis Rich speaks on J Dilla’s production on “House Of Flying Daggers.” RZA lost.
“Around the time the brother passed away and went to heaven. I had an opportunity to talk to him on the phone before he passed away, and he was excited about me working with him and likewise. I didn’t know he was so heavy at what he does. I felt this one was real special and I wanted to give him his shine on it. That video is gonna be crazy. You know me, I’m a creative dude— so I’m thinking of all different kinda ways to structure this project and let people know we taking it all the way back. I’m going for fans that knew what it’s supposed to be.”

Nuff Respect to the Monster Mash, but this is more my cup of herbal tea. Miss Keri Baby! For. The. Win! NCB, you’re a genius for this one!
There was some talk about you and other rappers…Kanye, Lil Wayne.
Keri Hilson: Oh, like dating?
Haven’t both of them touched your ass onstage before?
Keri Hilson: Yeah, they have. Onstage. Onstage. What am I there to do? Entertain. Onstage, we’re entertainers. Onstage, a married man is still an entertainer. It means he’s an entertainer first when he’s onstage. Offstage? Very respectful. They would never touch my ass offstage, I’ll tell you that much.
