STICKY FINGAZ FAN INTERVIEW PART 1

Here's part two of the questions fans from this site and onyxdomain.com were able to have relayed to Sticky. This interview may go on forever so keep asking questions in the official Sticky Fingaz interview question thread!

Q: There is a line in the song Judgment Night that goes "Say what you wanna say just spell my name right". What is the meaning of that lyric? And Mike Tyson has said that as well, did he get it from you?

Sticky: Well, I didn't get it from Tyson so maybe he got it from me? That lyric is literal. I can't stand it when people spell Sticky Fingaz wrong. Like on the cover of a movie I did my fucking name is spelled wrong! Right on the cover! Same with Snoop Dogg. I did his album and right on the cover "STICKY FINGERS". When I put my albums out I always make sure that shit is correct. F-I-N-G-A-Z get it right!
Another thing about that lyric is that people say what they think and I don't give a fuck. I only care about what I think of myself and what my mother has to say. Sometimes I don't give a fuck what she says either. She'll tell me $100,000 is too much to spend on a car. And I get it anyway.

Q: How does the process of an Onyx album cover come to completion? Meaning is it ideas you guys have and other people help make it happen?

Sticky: Yeah. On Bacdafucup, it was my idea to stand on Plexi-glass while photographers took pictures of us below. I kinda wanted people to see under my boots like. I brought that idea to the Throw Ya Gunz video where we used the whole Plexi-glass thing again.
For the All We Got Iz Us album cover me and Fredro just wanted a cracked up mad face. Probably a bad idea since that was the beginning of our albums sales "cracking up". The cover to All We Got Iz Us was a 3-d drawing, and the madface on the back of Shut 'Em Down was an actual clump of metal.

Q: How many copies did All We Got Iz Us and Shut Em Down sell?
Sticky: Shut Em Down sold like 400,000, All We Got Iz Us went gold. But I never got a gold fucking plaque for it! If anyone got one, send it to me!

Q: Seriously now, what was the craziest fan experience you ever had? Someone going through your garbage? Some dude with your face tattooed to his back?
Sticky: Some girl had shown up at my agency and told the guy working there I was the father of 5 of her children. Some butt ugly bitch I never seen a day in my life. He asked me if I wanted to call the police and I said I don't care what you do, don't call me with this dumb ass shit. It was funny cause I always use protection, even with my girlfriends. It was a crazy experience because I never even saw her or met her before, and one of her kids was almost my age.

Q: What do you plan to do musically 5 to 10 years from now?
Sticky: I am gonna change the game dramatically. I have a movie I directed and am starring in called A Day in the Life. It's like a Shakespearean rap opera, I still don't know what genre to call it. But basically, people aren't going to be able to put out normal albums anymore. I am gonna be the first person to put an album in movie theaters. All music will be visual now. You know how an unfinished movie has way less impact without music put in? This is the opposite. Music is way less impactful without the visuals. I am gonna change that. The same with my movie Caught on Tape. It'll be the future.

Q: Have you considered taking lower paying roles in potentially hit movies so the world can see your acting abilities? For example, I am sure Ludacris got paid peanuts to do Crash, but it ended up being film of the year. What do you think?
Sticky: I think it's a good move but I am not interested in a wider audience. If that were true I'd do commercial music. First and foremost I do stuff to please myself. A good thing is I have a fairly universal opinion. If I like something, usually others do as well.
I'm not into commercials, I'm into the feature presentation.

Q: What's in store for us Onyx and Sticky fans in the near future?
Really just tryin to put the Onyx black rock albums together, get back on the road to touch people, and as for Sticky Fingaz I'm tryin to take over the world.

Q: Surely you've met some of the most famous people on the planet in your life. Whose one person living you've never met you'd kill to meet?
Sticky: I'd like to meet Oprah Winfrey. I've seen her in person, at this place called Mr. Chow's. And Will Smith. Believe it or not I've never met him. Now I am actually colorblind in real life, so quite literally a person is a person to me. But to think about a black man or woman going from picking cotton and separate water fountains just a few decades ago to 20 million dollars a picture is amazing to me. I'd also like to meet Tom Cruise.

Sticky: If you hadn't done music or acting, what do you think you'd be doing?
Q: I haven't the slightest idea. I ask myself that all the time. But whatever I would be doing, I'd be successful at it. I am an insanely hard worker. If I were a bum, I'd be a successful bum. People would say "Damn! Look at that bum!". I'd be a 100 percent bum.
