by: Nick Weidenfeld I've never done this sort of thing before. I'm a little nervous? Don't worry about it man. So, what are you wearing? I'm actually wearing some terry cloth sweats, some DaDa's that got some graffiti on the side, multiple colors. And a J5 shirt I just happened to throw on. Does it look cool? Yeah man, ain't nobody laughed at me yet. So I guess I'm straight. Once somebody laughs, I'll change it up. I think you guys are awesome. How did you get so awesome? Practice, and a lot of prayer. We weren't always good. Trust me. You get some of those old tapes and you know that. But my wife says we're good now. All we want to do is be decent. We didn't want to go out there and embarrass ourselves, and at least we're doing that. You said your wife. Does that mean no more messing around with the groupies? Me and Akil are married. No girls want to see us anyway. They ain't checking for us, no way. Do girls ever get in the way of the group? Never. I'm not trying to talk to nobody's girl on the side, man. Most people say it's a code of the street. But I just never did that. I'm just cool with people's girls. I'm not trying to highlight them. You mean you never put the moves on one of your friend's girls? I did that once and it led to nothing but trouble. I was a lot younger. I snuck around with one of my boy's girls. Who knew that her was loose and she would go telling? By the grace of God he didn't punch me in my mouth. After that, I was like, "I'm cool. I'm never going to that again". Bitches, man. At that time, you couldn't trust me either. It ain't always the sisters. I'm at fault for something, I will admit it. And I was at fault for that one. If you two guys are married, who's taking care of the groupies? We don't have no wild cats in the group. Plus, my philosophy is like, "Whatever you do, I don't need t know." And that's the way to keep the peace as far as anything goes. I don't need to know what you're doing. Hopefully, you ain't out there smoking no crack or with no prostitutes. And pretty much, if you ain't doing that, or hitting no people, or doing anything that is detrimental to the group, then I don't pry in your business. Whatever anyone is doing on the solo tip is their business. Let's say a groupie comes up to you after the show, and she wasn't to go back to your hotel room. You get her back to your room and find out she just wants to talk. What do you do? Talk. I don't want to catch no case. I'd be in there talking. But my answer would be short and quick and I'd have the door open. The whole time we were talking, the door would be open, and I'd be edging here towards the door, like, "So, is that right?" And once she's out the door, I'd be like, "I gotta go to sleep, see you later. Are you a lady killer? I've had my share, but no. I'm not sitting around and like, "Yo girl, what's happening?" I'm the type of brother that doesn't have no game. I just have to come at sisters with regular stuff. Whatever she was into, that's what I would ask here about. I wouldn't make nothing up. I wouldn't come at her crazy or nothing like that. I'd just talk. It takes a little longer to get results with that method, but you also get to know a person, so it works out. Who's the biggest lady killer in the group? Tuna, definitely. Ladies like the tall, light skin stuff. Little, short, dark brothers with big noses don't get all the love. But it's cool. I also kinda' live through him. So, he gives me all the information, and I'll be like, "All right, all right!" What advice would you give to those not so well-versed in the language of love? If you don't have no game, don't try to get game. Just be you and roll with it. Just don't be silly. Sisters don't like when Brothers ask silly questions. Just try to find out what she like doing or what she's into and speak on that. Don't go in there and try to throw no game. What if being yourself doesn't get you ladies? Then you roll on. That ain't the only sister you can deal with. A lot of brothers get that one sister in mind and that's what they want to roll with, but you got to come to grips and roll on. That happened to me. A lot of girls I wanted to talk to just wasn't checking me. Stupid girls, they're kicking themselves now? They're probably not sorry now, at this particular moment. But, hopefully soon they will be. And I will rub their face in it. Do you know if the city of Oakland still recognizes December 7 as MC Hammer Day? I doubt they still got Hammer Day. They probably don't have that no more. That was only for that particular time. Your get your day that day, and then it's over. If you gotta go to work on Hammer Day, it ain't no Hammer Day. Hammer Day is when you get that day off. If Martin Luther King is still struggling to get his day, then you know Hammer ain't getting no love. Final question: if somebody gets in an accident and becomes paralyzed from the waist down, losing all their sexual functions, would this person go through life in a perpetual state of sexual frustration or would this person lose the desire along with the function? That depends on the individual. Your desire won't change. You have desires, whether they be for money, sex, or whatever, and that won't go away. And it depends on how good you are at repressing that, not thinking about it. But I know some cats right now that don't got those functions and they don't think about it. Personally, I would give up the desire to walk. I would just want to walk man. Dude, to be one day walking and then something happened where you can't walk no more, that has to be more horrible than anything. The last thing on my mind would be something sexual. I'd be like, "Man, I was just walking last week!". Do you have anything else you want to say to your fans? Be on the lookout, a J5 album is coming. We're hoping the people will enjoy it. I'm not going to sit and say it was the hottest thing since lava, but we did do our best. Hopefully, when you hear it, you can feel what we're doing. And if not this time, hopefully next time. -courtesy of "While You Were Sleeping" -end of interview |
