ow that you’ve got a hit single and you’re blowing up, have you seen a difference in the way women react to you? Of course it’s always a change. I guess I would say I have a different crowd of girls that are attracted to me now. I always had chicks, though. I been doing this shit since high school. You’ve got a real unique style with the linens and gators and such – what type of woman attracts you? Does she have to have style? Yeah, I like girls that got fashion about theyself. I like girls that are on point, the chicks that are rockin’ them Mohawks, wild stuff. I go over the limit when I get to dressing, so I would prefer a girl that’s pretty much got her own taste. You can tell the type of girls that like designer clothes, they just go all out with it. Them the type of girls I like. Kelis is a perfect example, but no disrespect to my boy Nas. We’ve got a column called Groupie Confessions – if a girl called in about you, what would she say? Oh, she’ll say good shit about me. I’m a different type of rapper, you know? I was broke for so long, I know how to be good to everybody. When you’re a broke muthafucker, you have to be nice if you want something [laughs]. So I guess it stuck with me. I still treat people the same way. I’m a good guy. I don’t think I’d get no bad reviews. And everybody still fucks with me, everybody stayed down. Now that I got that money I got different kinds of people that come around, but I still got my solid 200 people that I fuck with. I could show you 200 muthafuckers that’s still down with me. Have you ever paid for sex? Naw, hell naw. That’s against the code. Fat ugly niggas pay for pussy. Even when I was broke and ain’t have no money, I was still fly as a muthafucker and I ain’t have to pay for sex. Them niggas that be paying for pussy are them ugly niggas. I ain’t with that shit. Girls used to be taking care of me. What’s the best gift a girl has gotten you? It’s a number of things. The best gift I think would be an apartment. A chick got me a condo one time. I got it just to get kicked out of it, like my boy Rick Ross say. We was just wildin’ out. But listen, I’m pretty much a loverboy though. I’m a woman connoisseur. I like women, period. I like the charisma a girl has, that shit excites me a lot. It don’t matter what kind of flavor she is, nothing like that, as long as it’s a beautiful woman. I could find beautiful things about any girl I see. So you’re a romantic dude. Candles and rose petals and all that? Not to that degree, but yeah, I’m a homebody. We can smoke a kush blunt and lay up on the sofa and just kick it. When I kick it with a chick, they be damn near thinking we’re married.
