I've made about 400 movies.
I do
everything... Shooting them, editing them, all the pictures, everything.
GOA- You do it all?
Yella- Except FUCK.
GOA- So you don't do scenes with the girls?
Yella- No, I'm only behind the camera.
GOA- But you've gotta be honest. Tell us, have you
ever...
Yella- Oh, I HAVE gotten mine.
GOA- What do you think of HIP-HOP, today?
Yella- Its a little crowded. There's a lot of groups.
The only ones making it are either the lucky ones, or the superstars.
When we were doing it. It wasn't that much competition.
That's why I like movies more than music,
because there's not that much competition.
Now, its just that everybody sounds the same.
Its alright, but not like our era. Its
way different.
GOA- Do you keep in touch with any of the guys
from N.W.A., Dr. Dre, MC Ren or Ice Cube?
Yella- Me and REN did a song for one of my movies called BANGIN IN
LA.
I haven't talked to Dre in a couple of years.
Cube, the last time I saw him was a few years ago.
We did a photoshoot for THE SOURCE. Its
rare that I talk to him.
GOA- So you're doing your own thing now.
Yella- Yeah, I just keep to myself.
I just mind my own business, You
don't hear about me.
GOA- You keep to yourself and get the freaks?
Yella- Oh Yeah.
