I have a bunch of books I want to do but I don’t have time. We planned on it last year, but we didn’t do it. Hopefully that does well so I can keep making shit.

You moved 90k in your first week. When Hodgy’s in his zone he’s the fucking best. He has my favorite verse on the whole album. He’s a really, really, really good rapper. He doesn’t have the Angry Blonde book, so he don’t know shit! He has a hard copy of Infinite – wow! He doesn’t have fucking Angry Blonde though. But he has two other things I don’t know. I had the E tape back when it came out in 2000 on VHS. I have Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem Show, Encore – I don’t have Curtain Call, but I do have every song on there, except the two bonus songs.

I went to the Mellowhype show, went home, and went to sleep. So what did you actually do on Halloween? I know it’s a big day for the OF camp. I had to write it, rewrite it, and all of that. When you have a passion to act like we did, you don’t give a shit. Were you sweating bullets trying to get it done in time? Bam! You got the shit a couple days before Halloween.
