New Heltah Skeltah Interview

SixShot.com: How was it like going back in and getting to finally work on the Heltah Skeltah album?

Rock: Well I really never left the studio; it was just basically turning the page. This right here is what we do; you know what I mean? It was good for my boy to walk in on this point in time though. Working with Sean P is a beautiful thing. But as far as this studio sh*t, we’ve been doing this for a lot of years and we never stopped doing it.

SixShot.com: Why did it take so long for this album to come?

Sean Price: I don’t know. I know I wanted to put out two solo albums before I put out a Heltah Skeltah album; you know what I mean? I didn’t want to put out one album and then be like, “Alright, now it’s back to Heltah Skeltah!” I want ya’ll to know that I’m a serious solo artist, and I felt like I solidified that, so I went back in to do Heltah Skeltah.

SixShot.com: As the years went by, did you ever think you were going make another album together?

Sean Price: At some points I thought we would, and other points I didn’t think so, and other times I didn’t give a f*ck; you know what I mean? I had all of those emotions.

SixShot.com: How was the creative process when you were making the record? Were you two always on the same page?

Sean Price: We just ran through beats; I liked some and Rock didn’t and vice versa. But the ones we really liked, we rhymed to.

SixShot.com: You two have relatively kept your style the same, when other artists sometime switch up. Why is that?

Sean Price: We’re not trying anything too different—we just stick to what we know. Our style of rapping is our sh*t right there, and that’s what we do.

SixShot.com: Did you feel any pressure to make sure this album is a success since it’s your first one in ten years?

Sean Price: We felt a little pressure, because we ain’t put out an album in over ten years. I wondered if the people would still remember us, you know what I mean? I’m sure they know me as Sean Price, but would they remember me? I wondered if our sh*t would still be relevant, and should we even do Heltah Skeltah.

SixShot.com: What’s been your motivation through the years?

Rock: What the f*ck else are we going to do? This is what we do. This isn’t a fabricated image this is us. We just don’t do it for the money—this is what we do. We don’t really give a f*ck on what other people do.
