In sit down with NY Magazine, Reggie speculates on a follow up to Blackout! 2.
“Shit, I’ma tell you — we need to just do it anyways.
Because we need to get that bread. I need that bread. Plus we need to
keep it going — these windows in rap are not as open as they were in
the nineties. You gonna hear another Blackout!, who knows
when, but it’s coming.”
Fuck it, third times a charm!

Law #14: Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy
“Knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead. Better still: Play the spy yourself. In polite social encounters, learn to probe. Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions. There is no occasion that is not an opportunity for artful spying.“

Billie Joe & co. talk to the 1515 Boys about their appreciation for this thing of ours.
“Looking at a guy like Eminem,
the way he put his records out and how he goes from character to
character and how a lot of hip-hop artists use different names,
conceptually, I think that’s really important to put into records. I think that’s why a lot
of hip-hop records become so eventful. All of a sudden a character will
come up. A dialogue will come up. The ambition a lot of hip-hop records
have, that’s something I can relate to.”
Buck’s verses > Wayne’s verse. But hey, at least the martian is actually rapping.

Late Pass: Young Buck- Letter To The Label
It is interesting to look back at this discussion because the concerns about technology becoming a barrier to real communication have only become more noticeable over time. Messages are quick and convenient, yet they often cannot communicate tone, emotion, or intention as clearly as a real conversation. Technology itself is not necessarily the problem, but how we choose to use it matters. Even something as simple as a Basic Calculator shows how useful technology can be when it solves a practical problem without replacing meaningful human connections and conversations.
