Before I end this post, I have to thank Doenut for the incredibly amazing job that he did shooting and editing this video interview. It is BY FAR the best looking interview that we’ve ever put out! The cut-ins are on point, we’ve got 3 different camera angles, and Did you see that fuckin’ intro?! Holy shit! Make sure you check out more of his handiwork at Doe-Nut.com!
Also, props to Chad Thomas Carsten, PunkRockJuggalo, Polmar, and the rest of the Faygoluvers crew for helping come up with these questions last minute! I couldn’t do this without you ninjas!

So Killa said he’s waiting on Psychopathic and Psychopathic says they’re waiting on Killa.
This is a vicious circle.
Someone should tell them that they’re both waiting on each other.
Timeshifter will never drop at this rate……

Dope interview btw, Scottie.
The one thing I love about your interview skills is that you ask the questions I want to know the answers to.
Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I’m definitely anxious to follow up with Killa on this one. He’ll be in town in a few weeks so maybe i’ll get a chance to sit down with him.
Thanks Rosco! I really enjoyed doing this one, and thanks to Doenut, it came out far better than I expected. Appreciate the love!

Thank you, Scottie!!! For asking about them playing the Carousel Stage for the Wizard of the Hood show!!!
At least he gave SOME kinda answer!
I would have liked you to have steered him back to the core of the question regarding the CAPACITY of the area they want to have this in rather than the PRODUCTION side of some people’s concerns (for which I’m sure juggalos aren’t nearly as concerned with as having them actually DO the damn thing (costumes not withstanding); but at least you got the question out there DIRECT!
Also, I find it “amusing” that J seemed to repentant about the deleted Hatchet Herald article and then went on LoveLine and told the SECOND of the three stories he had mentioned… But that shit was too funny to say that he shouldn’t have told it. GOLD.

Great stuff Scottie, you should have asked about what’s up with the Zug Izland camp. Those mics that you attach to shirts below the chin would be great for future interviews too.

Dope interview Scottie! Wonka had me laughing with his comment, Otis did like kinda goofy with that mask slapped on his head, lol. Also, what did Smack post that Scottie deleted? I’m curious. Did Smack say Scottie was doing a real good job of jugglin J’s balls? Some shit like that?

i get the distinct impression j believes he is in his prime.
yes, ‘young’ ‘wicked’ does look like a dip.
apparently, abk is in control of his career… but i have to wonder if ‘in control’ is an accurate description…
JIFFY: a transcription?! the guy gives you a recap with 56 bullet points, and youre askin for a transcription?

Sup! Been a hot min since i been in here. Awesome interview mr.D! My only gripe is that j talking not being in the loop on the flint and surrounding areas of detroit having a water crisis. How he gonna make music bout living in a toxic environment for years in not be aware of his current surroundings? Karma J!

scottie was just trolling me I just wrote TLDW the same thing he wrote when I made the scruffy video.
I watched the video today at the hospital here’s some things i picked up
scottie you need a better mic you audio is low.
esham producing icp again is awsome
3 documentaries sounds like too much
cant wait for the 17th seminar
and why did you not ask them about their Canadian dates?? or them doing a HUGE festival they stated before they would never do those festivals again.

Apparently you didn’t watch the very first sentence of the interview. This was an impromptu interview…I got a text from J like 2 hours in advance of the show and had just enough time to get some thoughts down on paper. Canada wasn’t my first thought…sorry not sorry.
Also, again, with it being a last minute interview, and me being in a completely different state without most of my equipment, I had to rely on my 2 gopros and Doenut’s camera. I have invested into some mics, and hopefully we’ll have them ready to go on the next interview.
You’re still a twat waffle Smack.

Only seen the first few minutes but it was dope, and then read the rest. Can’t wait for this shit to drop. Hopefully the AMB documentary comes out, and the one ABK was shooting during the 2015 April Fool’s Foolin’ Tour.

Aw this was so dope! I’ve seen a lot of interviews with violent j but none where all the questions were about shit that juggalos want to know. I appreciated also that Scottie wasn’t shying away from asking some tough questions while still being cool about the whole thing. Just a dope fuckin interview, fuckin way to go ScottieD!
