Allhiphop.com: Do you wish to comment on some of things that Pete Rock has been saying lately?
CL Smooth: If you're not here to help, fukk you! Don't act like I'm a cancer or a parasite. I'm not jealous of you! I would never be jealous of nobody with one car and one garage. I'm trying to get four cars and four garages! What is the matter with you? Come back home. I'm building houses where I sold crack at. So, don't tell me that I haven't changed into a better man. I'm not going to allow the negative shyt to display and take the forefront because it's too hard to come back in the game after ten years and talk shyt to a nikka like me. I don't even let them street nikkaz talk to me like that. The biggest record on Pete Rock's album is from CL Smooth. I don't have to make it up…ask my hood! I'm not the toughest nikkaz; I'm just more serious than the average man. It shows in my music, my discipline, and my enthusiasm. All of my enthusiasm is catered toward what I'm trying to build and what these nikkaz remember about CL and Pete Rock. I'm keeping that legacy alive. How are you going to do thirty shows with me and then tell me you don't need me? Come on, you never had packed shows until you were with CL! You are fresh off the block, you're getting all these shows and all this money, but you don't need me? You need me. I'm telling you to come back home, but come home with a business mind and a plan. Kamikazes never had any plans but crash! The thing about me is I'm diplomatic because I know that overkill is overkill. A lot of times, a nikka is so scared he kills himself, man. I was just here to save that nikka, man because his spirit was broken. He stopped combing his hair and brushing his teeth, and I said to him, "Man, there's a bigger light than that." I told him to dust himself off and let's get it. I just asked him to do his job. Do your job, Pete Rock! I didn't ask him to be a superhero; I asked that nikka to make me a beat. How did you get to be you if you didn't make CL any beats? Give me a beat, shut the fukk up, and stop trying to live my life for me. Give me the beat nikka, and let me go out here and please our public! I'm not the problem. The problem was getting your ass on that plane and displaying what you are truly gifted at. Why be a rapper when there's no future in it for you? You are a wack ass rapper. Let's be honest!
Allhiphop.com: Is there any kind of positive spin that you can add to this whole situation?
CL Smooth: I just want people to hear the truth, man. If I was dogging that brother like he says, half of this shyt wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have an album out! At the end of the day, what's marketable? You don't have any new nikkaz on that shyt that's pulling some cargo and making the company ship out some joints, man. Get some nikkaz that push some weight instead of these light nikkaz that only YOU get along with. Those sucker ass meatball nikkaz! I gave Pete Rock what he wanted; now he's got to give me back. After that, the chapter's closed. You can juggle fruit stands for all I give a fukk! Pete Rock ain't even the cake…he's the icing! I'm smooth, but I dog nikkaz when they play me out of pocket, man! I go to the toughest barbershop in my town where nikkaz get shot in the barber's chair! I won't make it? Man, my woman has more money than Pete Rock! That's the truth, and she holds me down impeccably! My woman is like, "fukk Pete Rock!" Pete Rock thinks he's the catalyst to this shyt. Pete Rock needs to play his fukking role! He's a spoke in the motherfukkin' wheel! He better wake up quick because this world is not big and he will run into me. You will see me. By no means will I sit at home for another ten years and watch a fakkit like you prosper! :lol :lol I take his beats and dog them out; that's what I do. That's what I'm built for. I take his beats and take them to the fukking hemisphere! I'm trying to give the people what they want. Let Pete Rock know to stop throwing rocks at the dome because we will knock your teeth the fukk out! I love you, Pete Rock. Stop being a fakkit and do your job.
