seen it, NE sits down to chat with Nigerian Rapper 2shotz. In this revealing chat log, he talks about his beef with Big lo, His up coming album and his dislike for some female artists. A very interesting person, 2shotz speaks his mind and doesnt hold anything back.
NE: Whats up 2shotz, how was your day today?
2Shotz: not bad
2Shotz: it was raining though, so I really couldn’t get out because I hate driving in the rain
NE: Heard you are working on a new album.
2Shotz: Well, it’s collaboration or rather, a best of both worlds album with Big Lo. 2Shotz: It’s called "Marketing Strategy"
NE: Why the name marketing strategy?
2Shotz: well I though about the whole beef and our come back and heard people saying it was a plan made up by both of us as a strategy to sell records
2Shotz: so I though well lets call the album that, sounds controversial and keeps people talking
NE: So were you beefing Big Lo?
2Shotz: well, we had issues
2Shotz: nothing that we couldn’t solve
2Shotz: the press kept escalating stories and it became a like 2pac and biggie thing
NE: what were some of the stories they escalated and what caused the issues you guys had?
2Shotz: we were pals and after our hit single." DELICIOUS" we had issues about whose album it was going to be in
2Shotz: at first the deal was, song belongs to both parties and everybody had rights to put the song on their albums.
NE: Did you sign a contract to that effect?
2Shotz: so when the song blew up and my album pirated copy was…,
2Shotz: no we didn’t, it was just some song
2Shotz: we didn’t even believe in it that much
2Shotz: and it just blew up
2Shotz: I mean the song
NE: I see, so the song blew up and then what happened?
2Shotz: we couldn't manage it on time, we didn’t even have managers then, we were just handling our business by ourselves
2Shotz: that was about the same time my oga, eldee left for Yankee. I had no head to guide me
2Shotz: but oh well. I guess I'm smarter now
NE: Yeah! so did you end up using the song alone?
2Shotz: no, we both put it on our albums after a huge fight
NE: If you guys had issues before, don’t you see the same thing happening with this album, what do you think has changed?
2Shotz: we have a management here handling things for the project and we understand our differences now. I know exactly how my guy thinks and besides, the creativity between both of us is heavy
2Shotz: it’s like a method man and Redman thing
NE: So tell me a bit about the concept, what kinds of songs should we expect?
2Shotz: well, we've already dropped a new single on radio called "this NA NAIJA" more like a Naija version of MIMS' this is why I’m hot
2Shotz: video will be shot on the 23rd by DJ tee
2Shotz: then there's a part two version of the song that caused the whole wahala, MBGEKE BABE
2Shotz: that’s my song, it’s so humorous
2Shotz: laughs
2Shotz: "this country”
2Shotz: “brand new style” and more
NE: lol, what’s Mbgeke babe about?
2Shotz: ahah
2Shotz: well, mbgeke babe means village razz chick
NE: lol
2Shotz: well it’s about wanting that sort of chick that doesn’t give you trouble. You know the way our new generation chicks are?
NE: new generation chicks? Explain!
2Shotz: you have to stress yourself to toast, spend money, time and all just because you wan marry or f*****
NE: lol
2Shotz: an mbgeke babe doesn’t give u all that, she worships u like a god, you go out and come back and meet hot water in the bathroom, there's food on the table after bathing, she washes and iron's your clothes…
2Shotz: new generation chicks don’t do all that,
NE: So you want a slave? lol
2Shotz: all they are about is, I want and gime and can I have or can u send or buy me
2Shotz: naaaaaaaahh It’s not like that
2Shotz: a good woman should be able to balance her duties as a woman to a man and her wants, and her priorities.
NE: lol, ok we will not get into that but let me just say you will be one of the guests I have on my new show, so I can drill you properly.
2Shotz: about what?
NE: your idea of what a good woman is
2Shotz: no, don’t get me all wrong

2Shotz: you ever remember her trio girl group EMETE?

NE: what about zeal?
2Shotz: you want to hear my opinion on her
2Shotz:aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh
NE: lol
NE: Yes I do
2Shotz: now zeal's ugly, but a fine revealing dresser
2Shotz: I mean boobs and S***
NE: oh my god! I can’t believe you just said that.
NE: Wait I hope you know this is not off record
2Shotz: her songs, oh my god, I can’t stand
2Shotz: no wahalas
NE: you are going to have Ashinoye and Zeal coming to kick your butt
2Shotz: but she has the biggest a**, oh sorry NYASH in Nigeria
2Shotz: at least God blessed Naija with Zeal’s nyash
2Shotz: at least it covers our eyes from the bulls***
NE: lol2Shotz: well them dey try for female artist down here
2Shotz: but I personally think most of them are a BIG JOKE
NE: So what female artist do you think is not a big joke?
2Shotz: sasha, bouqui, blaze, ego lagbaja, Asa
NE: So do you see yourself doing a song with Asa or any of the talented women you mentioned?
2Shotz: yeah
2Shotz: Just spoke to Ego Lagbaja yesterday about a track and she's cool
2Shotz: but I need to give her till the end of the month to finish her tour
NE: Current Car and Car you want?
2Shotz: Volkswagen Golf 3 / Mitsubishi Montero sport
NE: What do you think of the new Plantashun boiz Album?
2Shotz: I saw it with the marketer, it was properly packed, but I hope it sells. Some tracks were not mixed, and they really didn’t put their hearts into it.
2Shotz: I didn’t get a potential hit song on the album
NE: do you think they only did it for the money?
2Shotz: well, I don’t know. They all probably had what they individually wanted to gain off it
2Shotz: faze and 2face didn’t really have anything to gain, just Blackface
2Shotz: so I guess it favored him
NE: why do you think that?
2Shotz: because it will still take a lot to put all of them on a stage and personally, blackface isn’t doing well at the moment.
2Shotz: Faze and 2face are terribly busy
2Shotz: I was with 2face at the club last night in Abuja and they have terrible travel schedules
NE: I see! It has been a very interesting sit down, if you had anything to say to our readers to wrap this conversation up, what would it be?
2Shotz: well, Naija is on the map, we need ourselves now, support Nigerian music and help stop piracy
NE: Well thanks for hanging out with us today
2Shotz: You are welcome
