1. What’s your definition of Westside unity? “Westside unity is when everybody comes to-gether and just leaves all the hate behind, and just rolls with one cause, which is music.

5. When we asked Snoop about being a “Real Pimp” vs. a “Studio Pimp” Snoop says he really was “breakin’ –itches” from state to state, but then says: 0:03:52

“I had to think it over, and when I thought it over, I said—You know what? Imma let the Pimps, pimp and I’m in this music thing and this oth-er thing MANN!” 0:04:01

6. In talking about his career and choices as an actor Snoop says: 0:04:25

“Instead of me takin’ roles, Im like creating my own roles now, cause I don’t really want to play the characters they want me to play, they want me to play the same kind of –hit, Either some funny nigga or some tuff ass nigga” 0:04:35

TITLE: 02 CHAPTER: 06

1. We asked Too $hort about the music game,and if his fame has ever went to his head, hesaid: 0:25:25

“I keep sort of a humble state of existencebecause its such a vicious game. Its like soreal, you know its on—the competitions on,[I’m talking bout the rap game and the pimpgame.]—just being in there getting money,everybody’s got to be on their toes.” 0:25:46

2. Talking about life, Too $hort says:

“You a lways go t t o be the p imp in you r situation, you always got to get it, whatever your mis-sion was that your out to do—get it!”

3. When we asked Too $hort about his feel-ings on Bay Area rapper, Mac Dre he said this: 0 : 28 : 00

“He left a hell of a legacy, its kind of like Tupac where you know my man is gone, but he aint gone cause everyday you see him, you hear him. Everyday you see the influences that he left in this movement.” 0 : 28 : 29

4. We asked Too $hort the same question as we did Snoop regarding studio pimps. His response was: “Well, Ive got some folks that come to me and say, “You know what mann, as much as- [You know] the competition between Pimps is always on, -uther-uckers is like, as a pimp,[ this is pimps talking to me] I respect you mann cause you ac-tually, [-uther-uckers say,] you actually kind of saved the game, you keep the glamour in it.” 0 :28 : 57

Reel time/REal Talk

TITLE: 02 CHAPTER: 09

1. We started by asking Ice Cube, how he tackled the Hollywood film and music industry? 0:38:48 “I saw that it [acting and directing] was something I could do, something I liked to do, so getting involved with more and more movies was some-thing I started pursuing and then getting on the side where we can create our own movies and not just be a part of somebody else’s movies but be a part of our own creation. That kind of took my career into a whole different level.”

2. We asked Ice Cube if he could explain a controver-sial statement he made when he said the ghetto is like a –igga trap.

“I said the ghetto is a nigga trap because there’s just all kinds of things that are there for you to re-ally- either run your life off –course or end up in one of two places, either in the penitentiary or in a cemetery and I think there’s a lot of things that lead US into that road and you know, we just cant fall victim to these traps—you know traps-- alco-hol, guns, drugs, fast money that wild life, that thug life. I just feel like it’s all a trap for them to get US where they want US either dead or in jail, (but for me it starts with self respect.)

3. We asked Cube, if could take one of his messages and make it a statement what would it be?

“Well, my major statement is you know do for self. You know do for yourself, that’s the biggest thing because aint nobody going to look out for you more than you look out for yourself so, you know--stop waitin don’t wait for nobody to give you nothin’ you know go for it, go for self.” 0:42:33

4. “Ownership is the key to the future you’ve got to own everything and not just a piece of it and that’s what I’m strivin for” 0:42:55
