MC2MC: Sha Stimuli Talks With Maybach Music Emcee, Pill

In an exclusive interview following the listening session for Maybach Music's Self Made Vol. 1 LP, Hiphopwired.com spoke with Atlanta rapper, Pill.

Since Rick Ross snatched up rappers Pill, Meek Mill and Wale, he wasted no time putting out an album showcasing his talent on the label. Self Made Vol. 1 hit stores yesterday and we talked with Pill about his involvement on the LP and how fast The Bawse made this release happen.

"When I first signed to Maybach guess what happened? Video, 5, 6 songs, next couple weeks, couple more songs...photo shoots, going to Vegas, flying to Miami, and I was like damn the ink ain't even dry yet," Pill expressed.

 

When we asked him about his biggest accomplishments so far, the XXL Freshman Alumnus said, "Headlining a few festivals solo, not really having no big push behind me. Just everything going on period when it comes to me outside the traps of ATL."

He went on to say, "I come from the depth  and I'm able to actually rise up and show other people that it's actually possible for them to be somebody and actually take those circumstances that they're surrounded by and turn it into positivity."

Check out the in-depth convo with one of the shining stars on Ricky's roster.

Mario Van Peebles made a Hip-Hop and cultural impact with his 1991 movie "New Jack City" and continues to be one of Hollywood's premiere Actors and Film Directors.

Now, Mario is engaged in many different projects that bring together Hip-Hop, Hollywood, and black culture as a whole.

In Part1 of our Hip-Hop Wired Exclusive, Mario speaks on a variety of topics including working with a dedicated 50 lb weight losing 50 cent, what he thinks of the Tyler Perry and Spike Lee nonsense, and how he prepares for influential roles like Malcom X.

Speaking on working with 50 Cent in the All Things Fall Apart film,  Mario jokes about 50 cent's weight loss saying,

"He had to lose a lot weight and had to lose 50 lbs, and I didn't know if he can do it because I had to lose 20 pounds when I played Malcom X in Ali.  So the next time I saw the brother, I called him 25 cent because he lost so much weight."


Mario also spoke on the Spike Lee and Tyler Perry feud, and the portrayal of Blacks in film.

"We definitely need to see us not being big, silly, and ignorant.  The tragedy is not so much of Tyler's work, but we're not
