Business…here’s my interview with Ja Rule. A lot of it didn’t make it in because of space limits, so is the classic moment that just didn’t make the cut.

Now, keep in mind he was slurping on his food after calling me something like four hours late. I can’t help but reiterate that.
Anyway, we got to talking about his next project…
What’s next in terms of movies?
Oh man, I’m trying to put together this Aaron Pryor movie, where I play a middleweight boxer. Great middleweight. Hopefully that will come to you all soon.
You gonna do your own scrappin’?
Oh yeah. Fo sho!
You got it like that, ha?
Got it like that, baby!
If you got it like that, how you gonna get somebody to sign up to act with you on that. Nobody wants to sign up to get they ass whooped.
Oh, we’re gonna get some real boxers.
So you’re gonna scrap like that with the real boxers?
Yeah, they ain’t gotta be top notch. They can be a little out of shape!
If you can do that, you may have another profession.
I just can’t let ‘em hit me too hard!
The humor of that exchange isn’t properly captured without the audio, but buddy got so excited talking about this. I know a few of you are laughing, but on’t sleep–Ja’s ’bout as gangsta as they come. Don’t listen to Fiddy too much. Ja’s a little guy, but he’ll probably beat the brakes off you after controlling for weight. He was just so gassed about this. He’s a dude lookin for a reason to beat someone down.
But love is love…peep the interview, if you like. Also, I’ve got a fun post on Snoop at the bidness blog. If you go to the main page, just look for the icon that shows me in the fur coat and click there.
