2/25/11 "FATHERHOOD ON A FRIDAY" STEVIE G INTERVIEW
Hows it feel being on the brink? About to enter fatherhood...
Really its a rush of emotions. To be so close to bringing a baby girl into this world is hard to describe. Its like climbing up to the top of a waterfall being afraid of heights. Getting to the top for a moment to get a fresh breath of air, then looking over the edge at the plummet below and sayin fuck it.... then stripping down butt naked and jumping off the cliff and hoping you hit the water...Maybe not that extreme but ya kno what Im saying...
Whens this thing going down?
Supposed to be on this Friday night. Or within the next day or two. At least that is when the due date is but who knows. Just on the baby countdown. One day at a time one my dude...
Hows your baby's mama doing right now?
PREGNANT. She's good my dude. But any women at 9 months pregnant isn all that fun to be around. Shes a trooper tho. Somethin sexy bout a pregnant woman. You wont get it until you knock a real woman up! ahaha...
So what are you going to do this friday after your seed sprouts?
Well if it happens on this Friday we gotta stay in the hospital for 48 hrs then take our little bundle of joy home! By the way... My daughters name is goin to be Syriannah... Just in case anyone was wonderin'...
Does this mean the Stevie G that we know and love is going to go into hiding?
Nah bro imma stay doin me. BUT.... people say having a kid will change your life, so only time will tell if I slow up on my game. Plus having a girl is gonna make me soft. Just got a feeling bout that. Ill still be hostin parties an puttin down Patron. Burrrr!
How has living in the Couv been treating you? is it much different on that side of the river??
Man I hate Vancouver. Washington that is… Portland is home an this muphukka feel like the twilight zone. Cant stand it. Streets arent grided, no down town. An way more rednecks. Miss the North. Plan on movin back once my seeds out I get more money an my chick goes back to dancin. So.... until then we stuck in the Couvy Couv
I heard you got Method Man's phone number in your phone... You ever call him up to kick it and sing along to old Wu-Tang classics with the RZA?
Nah man...my phone is for bussiness purposes only son. Be makin big moves on this thing here. no foolin around....except for maybe occasionally ill prank call Mistah FAB and go "I GOT YO CHAIN SON.. I GOT IT. WHAT CHU GONE DO BOUT IT!!!?" then i just hang up real quick like...
When you were working in commercial radio, what was your favorite thing about doing it?
Radio was a great experience. Music is my life, an everything I do needs an anthym. So being able to produce spots with the homies instrumentals that get played on the airwaves was real cool. Then once I got to be on air an do the night show it really felt like I was on a rap tour for a few years. Ya know? Meetin all the new hot artists rockin with em, playin the new radio singles and partyin like a banchee. Basically got the key to the city. Never paid for a drink ever an a lot of muhpukkas knew who you were. Crazy times…
What was your least favorite thing?
Haha... really once Clear Channel took over it was the music! Man radio plays a lot of garbage but oh well. The kids love it. But I loved what I did so there wasn really anything negative about it. Aside from the long hours…
Got any plans for a Big Stevie G tour comin up anytime soon?
Always got somethin in the mix but just waiting to see how it is with my daughter. May lay low for a good bit till she's rippin an runnin…
What you listening to at the moment? I get a vision that youre actually nodding your head up and down and swaying your shoulders from side to side and making wavy hand motions as we are doing this interview... Is this true?
Yea I stay listenin to slaps! Knockin this cat called Pill from the South. Got one of his mixtapes an got a track called Glass. Peep it. Also got Rick Ross new Boss Status 2, got Meek Mill on there. Dude is fresh. Also bumpin some MAN MAN... R.I.P
Are your mom and pops stoked to have a miniature girl version of Stevie running around?
Yea buddy! They ready to be grandparents. Both excited for the new chapter in our lives. But they from the ol school, so us kids do this shit ass backwards. Baby first then maybe marriage. Opposite from them...
Man.. I've known you a long time steve.. and a baby is about to come out of your lady's vagina in less than a day most likely...theres goin to be blood, screaming, a baby...you scurred or what? be honest man...
All of they above. Scared but sturdy...
I'm stoked for you son..i mean father stevie… Any last words?? Or any shout outs or people you wana give respect to?
Shout outs to all my homies an family that support me an got my back. Wouldn't be the man I am without y'all. Soon my baby girl is going to be introduced to this world and you all. Get ready for little Syriannah!
