Question: How do you come up with your creative process?

Answer: It comes all types of ways. It can be inspired by the music or something that I am going thru in my life. You can't force the feeling. Only if she has a gag reflex then you can force it.

Question: What's a crazy story that happened in your career?

Answer: The first time I met Tupac, we were opening for him in Ohio and he was pulling up to the hotel in a limousine, and he jumped through the partition of his limo and threw the car in park because the driver wouldn't stop because he wanted to holler at me and Dre. He almost tore up the transmission in the limo. Real life.

Question: How did you and Dr. Dre get George Clinton for the Synthesizer on "Fo Yo Sorrows"? Did this stem from originally wanting to use a sample of his?

Answer: We called the mothership and he beamed himself down to the studio. There was no sample for "Fo Yo Sorrows". I work with George because he fits the song. And we don't like using samples because we like creating original music. It organically happened because we liked to create new music. Its easy to go out and sample a whole album. We can do that in 3 days.

Question: Whose idea was it to perform on a big throne after you hurt your leg on tour?

Answer: Actually it came from my guitar player David Wild. He actually showed me as I came back from the hospital a video of the guy in Alice in Chains in a wheelchair, and said that I shouldn't disappoint my fans by canceling shows and pointed out that everyone still liked the shows when the guy was in a wheelchair. The fans love the dedication even more. I thought that was dope as hell. Plus it was good for fans to see me sitting in my rightful seat, my throne.
