1. Hiatus
After moving so fast with No Limit Records, he got burned out. He took a 10 year break to enjoy his life and make some business moves.
2. Rapping
Silkk rapped off beat on purpose.
3. Master P
He admits that his older brother Master P was like a father figure to him growing up and thanked him for getting his family away from the New Orleans streets.
4. Rivalry
When asked if the No Limit Records roster was competitive he surprisingly said no. All he wanted to be is good at his craft.
5. Eminem
He also admitted why No Limit passed on Eminem. Silkk said even though Em was super lyrical, they didn’t know what to do with a White MC.
6. Hot Boyz
The 2000 film Hot Boyz was based on Silkk’s life.
7. Cash Money
When asked if the beef between No Limit Records and Cash Money Records was that serious he said no. Given the hostility in New Orleans at that time, Silkk said someone would have been hurt if the beef was that serious.
8. Mya
Silkk has not spoken to Mya in many years and seemed to be glad things are that way.
