- Your thoughts on a producer like Timbaland?
Planet Asia - Hot and fresh because he always comes different.
He always comes different every time.
ThaFormula.com
- Did you ever try to get any Timbaland beats for your new album?
Planet Asia - Nah, but I would like too. But you know what, you
just sparked something. Timby! Yeah, that's my next move. Not the
Neptunes, but Timby on the song talkin' those ad-libs. Yeah! You just
gave me an idea man. I'm glad you came here.
ThaFormula.com
- How much is a beat from someone like Timbaland?
Planet Asia - I really don't care, but I think it's about
$50,000. Plus he's got a thing with Interscope, so I could probably
get him cheaper then that.

- What about someone like Nelly? What are your thoughts on a rapper
like that?
Planet
Asia -
He's tight.
ThaFormula.com
- What is tight about Nelly?
Planet
Asia -
Cause he didn't go. I like young people doing there shit and havin'
fun. He don't seem like he's a hater because he got his boys on. I
just like shit like that. I like real shit because I'm a real person.
Some shit don't have to be dope because of the music to me. He don't
really represent nothing bad. His shit ain't hardcore. His is like for
the kids type shit. I like that type of shit and it's workin' for him
and getting muthafuckaz out the ghetto.

- What about someone like Ludacris?
Planet
Asia -
He's hard! He can really rap. To me he can really rhyme.
ThaFormula.com
- What does he rap about?
Planet
Asia -
Everything. I just heard this shit with him where he was straight
spittin' with somebody from his crew over somebody beatboxing. He was
killin' it, but on some rap shit though.
ThaFormula.com
- How about Eminem?
Planet
Asia -
Of course Eminem could rhyme.
ThaFormula.com
- What about Evidence?
Planet
Asia -
Hard.
ThaFormula.com
- In a battle, who do you think would win?
Planet
Asia -
Face to face?
ThaFormula.com
- Yeah?
Planet
Asia -
Eminem would get him because he's got all those fans and that's just
the reality of it.
ThaFormula.com
- No I mean a battle in front of a bunch of mc's?
Planet
Asia -
Oh I don't know. I would love to see that. That would be a good one.
The reason why I can't say is because both of them come with like writtens
and I ain't gonna lie, to me Evidence got him on that last shit he
did. Regardless of how many fans Eminem's got and to me Eminem is
dope. I ain't taking nothing away from him. I done seen him serve like
ten cats that's supposed to be so called fresh and that was the first
time I seen him. He was servin' cats and to me he's still servin'
cats, but Evidence kind of got him on that song he did. EV put it down
on him dog! He did him man. It was hard. Every line had some far out
shit on it man and the beat was crazy too. I can't front! But we don't
give a fuck about that because that's just life. It's like if two
people start fighting. It's just life. You gotta expect shit like
that. It could happen to me, it could happen to anybody. I'm not
rappin' though. Fuck that shit, we gonna beat they ass. If you rap
about me, I'm gonna beat your ass. We ain't gonna get that far. If you
got a problem with me, I'm gonna know about it. Now if your just some
backpack cat in the corner from some strange city rappin' some shit
about me, I don't give a fuck. You just making me bigger. We come from
the struggle. We trying to eat over here. We trying to have mansions
and shit. Were trying to have land and cows and chickens and shit.

- What has changed since you signed with Interscope?
Planet
Asia -
The only thing that has changed is that I got quicker access to people
who I wanna work with. Just like you gave me that idea for Timbaland.
I gotta push that now to my label. I got to go do that. Cause I just
wanna hear what that sounds like man.
ThaFormula.com
- What do you think people will say about that man?
Planet
Asia -
I don't give a fuck what people are gonna say about it! You think I
give a fuck about what anybody sayin'? I don't give a fuck about what
any of these people say. I'm gonna do me. You ever heard the term do
you? That's what it's about. That's why I feel I'm like the new
version of Pac, because I'm gonna do me. Anything that gets in my way
or whatever…will be destroyed.

- What do you think of Sway getting on MTV?
Planet
Asia -
I'm happy.
ThaFormula.com
- Now a lot of people say that Sway sold out by getting on MTV?
Planet
Asia -
You know what? That's not sellin' out. Fuck all you people that don't
want to see us paid. This must be some white people. You got to
obviously be white. Anybody out there who doesn't want somebody to
succeed in life, you obviously are white. You ain't black and you
ain't speaking for black people. You are not speaking for us. We are
trying to get out of our situation. If you ain't got a situation to
get up out of, then it ain't your business to even talk about it.
ThaFormula.com
- So what is sellin' out in your opinion?
Planet
Asia -
Sellin' out is sellin' your moral beliefs as far as bending over and
letting somebody stick they dick in your ass. That's sellin' out.
Being a faggot is sellin' out tome. Being a man and not livin' up to
being a man. That's sellin' out. That's the true identity of sellin'
out. Now print that in your magazine! That's a sell out!
ThaFormula.com
- So what is a wack mc?
Planet
Asia -
A muthafucker that's rappin' and shouldn't be rappin'. Who his friends
is really tellin' him he's dope but he's really not, and the people
that he don't know don't like him. Only his friends is tellin' him
he's dope. That's a wack mc! Milli Vannilli, that's a wack mc.

- What do you think is the biggest difference between this upcoming
album and your past projects?
Planet
Asia -
I can do whatever I wanna do as far as music wise. The lyrics always
get better every year man. I just get tighter and tighter. Ever since
I been rhymin', every year I just get tighter and tighter. My shit
upgrades every year, so next year you don't know what kind of fuckin'
shit I might come up with.
ThaFormula.com
- Why do you think a lot of mc's talk a lot of shit about mc's who rap
about ice and shit like that, but rarely do they say any names?
Planet
Asia -
Because they might have a friend that do that shit (Laughs).
ThaFormula.com
- So what guests do you have on the album, title of the album and when
is it droppin?
Planet Asia - I got Ghostface on the album, and the album will
be called "Life As It Is". I don't know when it's dropping
anymore after you sparked that Timbaland thing.
