The Re-Up Gang: I-95 Alive (HipHopDX Interview)

20080326-reup2.jpg

While Shake was in Atlanta, I stopped by the New Era store and copped a fantastic Braves hat. How great it is! We went down there so the homie J. Burnett could sit down with the Clipse and the Re-Up Gang for HipHopDX. Due to baby mama drama (I’m making that up) and whatnot, J couldn’t get there in time and Vex had to fill the spot and he did a damn good job. With the help of J-23; they spoke on We Got It 4 Cheap v.3, the upcoming Re-Up Gang album, the label situation, Lil Wayne and much more.

“We’re not havin’ no Tupac legacy, God damn it! You’d better just keep rewinding. [Laughing] We’re dead when we die.” – Pusha T – on not being one of those artists who record 50+ songs for a project before narrowing it down. Check the full interview over at HipHopDX.
