Onyx – Indestructible
By Addi "Mindbender" Stewart

The time: 1992. The place: Queens, Noo Yawk Ciddy. The vibe: pregnant like Brenda. You could feel the potential in the air for hip hop. Two notty headed niguz named Das Efx just crawled out of the sewers and started wrecking shop with some "tiggidy-tiggidy tongue twisting shit" that impressed almost everybody (peace to the Beatnuts, still). Redman also took the co-sign from EPMD, and got it goin' on something fierce and hardcore, emerging from the rusty, rundown regions of Brick City, New Jeruz. 1992 created a turning point in the trajectory of hip hop for a variety of aesthetic and industrial reasons, one of which was the creation of the JMJ records, the boutique label given to Saint Jay Mizell to extend the success of the re-emerging Run-DMC (enjoying the skyrocketing rise of their cross-generational smash "Down With The King", featuring Mount Vernon's Pete Rock and CL Smooth). LL Cool J, Def Jam's franchise player at the time, was starting to fatigue after his comeback where he emphatically demanded we "don't call it a comeback". (In retrospect, he virtually never came back after that. I call 'em like I see 'em, Todd.)

Why does all this matter? Because these are a few of the characters in hip hop at the time that laid the fertile foundation for a new group named Onyx to rip the rap game a new asshole and fuck shit up. Fredro Starr, Sonee Seeza, Big DS and Sticky Fingaz, four friends from the Q-U that's not as hectic, eventually united under the tutelage of Jam Master Jay after going through a few incarnations, and Onyx was born. Delivering the "Throw Ya Gunz" EP in 1992, Onyx came spinning into rap like Tasmanian beasts, unapologetically altering the landscape of hip hop with their extremely vulgar lyricism, vividly violent imagery, and mob mentality microphone techniques. There was nothing like Onyx in the hip hop history before them. (Some may say that Leaders Of The New School used the chant-along adrenaline ad-lib style before Onyx, but it remains arguable.)

Little known fact: A secret cold war between Sticky Fingaz and Busta Rhmyes bubbled beneath the surface at the time, the L.O.N.S. cameo-king accusing Kirk Jones of stealing the gravelly-throated "rah-rah Dungeon Dragon" vocal style that Sticky and Fredro christened "Grimee Style" on their MTV-exploding mega-hit "Slam". An on-wax war never manifested between Busta and Sticky (thought it was subliminally addressed on L.O.N.S. "Syntax Era" off the T.I.M.E. album:

"hickory, dickory/ hey! watch out for the trickery/ what happened to creativity, dignity, integrity?/ Hey Mr. Sneaky One: don't try to read my mind/ just worry about getting yours, because I'm getting mines"

(Sneaky sounding like Sticky to a young, impressionable mind like mine, and subliminal jabs continue to infiltrate various rapper's verses), but it's pretty safe to assume a resolution was reached between the two song-anchoring superstars, if their conflict wasn't buried underneath bigger responsibilities as rising MCs. If not, that would be a gladiator rapper battle for the ages; those are two truly monstrous MCs. but, I digress.

Onyx's supreme sophomore disc, 1995's "All We Got Iz Us", wasn't a commercial smash like their double-platinum debut "Bacdafucup", but with bulletproof bangers like the head-pummeling "Betta Off Dead", the Gotham-tourist-robbing anthem "Walk In New York", New World Order paranoia-sparking "Last Dayz" and other memorable moments of concentrated chaos, this album is arguably the apex of the aggressive artistry of Onyx. It also marked a directional shift in their career, as they began to move perpendicularly to hip hop, not pioneering forward, which the MTV-staple "Slam" did for them previously. They persisted through the obstacles, and resurrected their original electric audio experience style for their third album, "Shut Em Down", which featured Method Man, Big Pun, Raekwon, DMX, an unknown artist from Queens named 50 Cent, The Lost Boyz, and others. With their first single "Shut Em Down" and the hockey-themed single/video "React", featuring a fleshy 50 Cent rhyming, (as opposed to the physically chiseled Curtis Jackson that Fredro Starr had a knuckle-up with at the 2003 Vibe Awards), they were back in the game, but not back on top. Politics and bullshit removed Onyx from Def Jam not long after. Nevertheless, they continued to elevate independently, in between taking hip hop expression to the next level and capturing major Hollywood roles, like Sticky Fingaz' first displaying his thespian depth in Spike Lee's "Clockers" and Fredro Starr's b-ball playin' Shorty Do Wop riffing off coach Rhea "Cheers" Perlman in "Sunset Park". These were some of the first on-screen appearances of these two members of Onyx, among many, many other roles in films like Dead Presidents, In Too Deep, Flight of the Phoenix, Save the Last Dance, and Next Friday and TV shows like Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Blade, The Shield, Strapped, Law and Order, In The House and Moesha, amongst many others.

But even the most feral, bloodthirsty Onyx fan would have to begrudgingly admit things haven't quite been the same since they were so rudely escorted out The House That Russell and Rick Built. Sticky's amazing debut Universal Records solo album "Black Trash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones" suffered from constant delays due to a variety of reasons, and Fredro's solo albums never completely connected to the hip hop audience the way their Def Jam/Onyx work did. But after musically reuniting, and releasing two relatively unsuccessful albums, 'Bacdafucup Part II' in 2002 and 'Triggernometry' in 2003, they now seem refocused, ready and willing to run back up in the rap game to rob everyone of their resistance to the Onyx rawness, once again. They seemed to have re-evaluated everything they originally brought to hip hop, and realized the powerful, poetic purity they genuinely possess has become a rare commodity. Especially when compared to the contemporary pseudo-hardcore artists who might have been the aesthetic descendants of the MCs so wild, one of them screamed he would "rip his heart out of his chest and put it right in a rhyme" on their first song. That kind of psychotic passion is all too rare in rap music today. So, so, so, so get familiar with one of the best hardcore hip hop groups to ever do it, as they prepare their latest onslaught on wackness with the Lost Tapes-like "Cold Case Files" album, and the long-anticipated "Black Rock" album, cold-fusing heavy metal to rap like it was executed so excellently on the Judgement Night soundtrack with Biohazard.

It's time to get live, live, live like a wire as Onyx sets a whole choir of 2008 haters on fire. No matter how many bichas(downloading)bootleguz fail to appreciate the Golden-era energy-expanding ideas of some of Queens finest, there will always and forever be a place in hip hop for those insane MCs who wrote "Blak Vagina Finda".

It was once said that hip hop is dead. Maybe, in the words of Onyx, it's betta off dead (fuck that!)

B-b-b-but wait, it gets worse!

Philaflava.com: Good lookin' out on that track with Bishop, that was sick.

Sticky: Oh, you liked that track?

Philaflava.com: Yeah, come on man. Your verses are sick. Hey, can you hear me any better?

Sticky: I can hear you the same.

Philaflava.com: So what was the next solo album you are coming with? I didn't catch the title…

Sticky: The album is just about done. It's called stickyfingaz.com The first single is called 'Dee-bo The Game', we just finished the video. It's crazy. It the first launch-off to the new movement, which is '100 Mad'. '100 Mad' means '100 Mad Niggas with Guns', but we just call it '100 Mad' for short.

Philaflava.com: So the album's almost done, what's up with your new ideas for the album and the website?

Sticky: Basically, I'm just bringing the drama. I'm just fed up with the state of hip hop today and all the bullshit that they are playing on the radio, and all the bullshit people are buying. I'm just trying to raise the bar and make it more creative. And violent at the same time.

Philaflava.com: I can't wait to hear it. So who runs this www.onyxdomain.com that has a bunch of your old shit?

Sticky: My webmaster actually runs that website. That's the official Onyx website right there. Actually, look: we just put out an Onyx Documentary. It's called 15 Years of Videos History and Violence. It just came out last month. It's in stores. But the easiest place to get it is www.onyxdomain.com. That's the official website for Onyx.

Philaflava.com: I need that in my collection. Is there any unreleased concert footage or videos?

Sticky: Everything on that thing is unreleased! There were these dudes, Underground Funk, that used to follow us around from the beginning of our music career with Jam Master Jay and everything until present times, almost. Everything is unreleased unseen before., They got every Onyx video that's we've ever done, it's all remastered, it's all uncensored, every solo video we've ever done, and like an hour long documentary with Onyx, wylin', doing live shows in the studio with Jam Master Jay and Biggie Smalls. We got Biggie Smalls on there, we got Method Man, Russell Simmons, Treach…

Philaflava.com: I can't wait to get it. Hey, did Fredro just get on?

Fredro: Yeah, what up?

Philaflava.com:: It's Mindbender from Toronto.

Fredro: What up to Toronto. Yeah, Ghetto Concept.

Philaflava.com: You know Ghetto Concept? Yeah, those are my homies.

Sticky: Yeah, Kwajo and them dudes.

Philaflava.com: Yeah, Sticky, you were on the Crazy World remix in 1999, right? I remember that shit. So is it just you two, or is Sonnee Seeza on too?

Sonnee Seeza: I'm here.

Philaflava.com:: Word up. I been waiting like 15 years for this moment, good. So, let's talk about Onyx 2008. It's mad simple, but let me ask first: why does hip hop need Onyx in 2008? I know why, but I'm asking for all the other people who are going to read this interview.

Fredro: I mean Hip hop needs Onyx in all years, it don't matter. Since we came out, this is our business. So we have our lane. We do what we do, everybody do what they do. It don't matter. So 2008 is just like 93, 94, 95. We got fans that we just can't leave hanging. Just the Onyx fans, those dudes. If we get new fans on the way, that's cool too. But this is for our die hard fans, and we're gonna give it to them. That's why we're back.

Philaflava.com: Word up. Anybody got anything to add to that?

Sticky: He got it, he nailed it.

Fredro: Hip hop need the Madface right now 'cause the game is too silly right now. Everybody runnin' around lookin' stupid. And the Madface [Invasion], what we represent, is we represent the anger, just from the struggle. You know Onyx, we're not about jewelry, we're not about none of that shit. We're about niggas growing up in the hood, the U.S.G., just trying to get out of that motherfucker. We still in the hood right now as we speak.

Philaflava.com: Oh word? That just kinda came to my mind, 'cause you guys have always had this street vibe, but you are now working in Hollywood. Do you still live in your original hood where you used to live? Are you like Redman, and stay in your original hood and bee like that…

Fredro: Nah, when I say I'm in the hood right now, that don't mean I live in the hood, of course not. You can't live in the hood, there's too much snakes in the hood, too much jealousy, too much haters. But I'm driving through the hood right now as we speak, I'm in Brooklyn, driving through traffic. So, I'm still in the hood, I still got strong ties in the hood to people who make it happen in the hood, as just opposed to just being in Hollywood, you know what I'm sayin? I'm still deep rooted. And I walk around with no security guards, none of that. I don't even have a gun right now, to tell you the truth. I'ma keep it real, you know what I'm sayin'! That's what it is, that's just me. I got 16 shots in God's clip, that's what I'm runnin'with.

Philaflava.com: Say word. Well, I want to get deeper for a sec, cause I was one of those cats that was listening. What are your beliefs on the one world government and conspiracy theories? Cause I heard what you guys were saying on Last Days, I heard your remix with Dead Prez, and Sticky, with what you said about 'get ready for a new world order'. How do you feel about that these days?

Sticky: I mean, that shit is real…

Fredro: Everything that's happening in society is a testament to that. Down to the gas prices.

Philaflava.com: Hell yeah. They are talking about a food crisis now? These motherfuckers are planning it. So how else do you guys see it? How do you feel about the Illuminati since 'All We Got Iz Us' came out?

Fredro: We was on the Illuminati/Last Days movement and we was sayin'… first of all the Illuminati, people might not even know what it is. It's a secret society that the government is upholding, and they are doing thing behind our back as far as money, and things like that. But it's so crazy right now these days because the Illuminati is just the internet. When we were talking about Illuminati on the All We Got Iz Us album, MySpace wasn't poppin', all these, with YouTube… but now we're almost freed up of the Illuminati, it's almost like you can't stop us, we can do what we want. Back in the days, we was getting shut down. Nowadays, you can post anything on YouTube, you can be out there on the internet, and they can't stop us. Nowadays I think the Illuminati is something in somebody's mind, if you think a secret society is trying to hold you back, because people are still getting millions of dollars out here. We just trying to figure out what kind of circles to be in.

Philaflava.com: Wow. That's a different perspective than you originally had. I definitely know which MCs were talking about it. Busta Rhymes, AZ, Poor Righteous Teachers, and more. But 2000 came and went, and the microchip didn't come out yet, so I guess we're going to see what the shit all unfolds to. And in the meantime, it's just get money, right?

Fredro: You gotta get money, you gotta feed your kids, you gotta live good, you gotta eat nice food if you want stay healthy. It's all about food, clothing and shelter. That's just the basic elements of life. And you can't get any of that without money. But you can't let money make you, you have to make money. I think that's where a lot of people go wrong with the dollar bill. The dollar bill can burn just like anything else. You gotta be willing to pay the price of fame, actually.

Philaflava.com:: Word. So let's talk about the new album, "Black Rock". It's long overdue. Do you have plans to maybe hook up with Slayer, Megadeth, or Slash from Guns and Roses? You obviously will have Biohazard. But is that the level you want to take the rock album to?

Fredro: Hellll yeah. Fuckin' hell yeah. Doing something with Slash would be incredible. I always thought Slash was one of the greatest guitar players ever, personally. I mean, you gotta think about it, and this is some real shit: Onyx never did a show with the Beastie Boys. Something ain't right! Cause that's our lane right there, you know what I'm sayin? And I would love to do stuff with them dudes, but that's our lane right there. I was getting into the Beastie Boys when I was coming up, like these motherfuckers are crazy! I always looked at Onyx as a younger version of them as far as the energy and the chaoticness of the situation. But I'd love to fuck with these rock and roll niggas coming up, I think it would mix well with our shit.

Philaflava.com: Alright, anybody else? How close is it to being finished? I heard the first single and I love it, 'Never Going Back', and I love it.

Sticky: That's not the first single, that's just a song that leaked off the album, it's a hot song, we all love it, boom. But, the album is almost done. It'll be done in like a month. We got like 6 songs in the can, we gonna do like fuckin 20 more, and take the hottest heaters out of them, and just go full blast with it, nahmean?

Fredro: Yeah, the Black Rock album, we're like 50 percent done, we got a lot of things to do on it, guest artist appearances and shit like that, then we're pretty much good. We're probably going to give you a Black Rock mixtape before that comes out, so look out for that too.

Philaflava.com: Word. Hey, you got tons of material. How much do you record, and what's an Onyx studio session like?

Sticky: That question is crazy man, cause it's like you got a lot of different energies, personalities in the room, but there's a lot of love in the room too. Everyone trying to get their idea across. A lot of drugs, a lot of alcohol, it's fun. More than anything, it's like a big fuckin party. You gotta have fun with it, you can't let it be a job and let it stress you and give you grey hairs and shit. You gotta have fun with it, and we put a lot of energy into it. So the building is like glowing, with all the energy we put into our shit.

Philaflava.com: How fast do you make your songs, and choosing the beat, and the Onyx chemistry. I heard you keep the structure similar: Fredro first, Seeza second, Sticky third. What else comes into putting a song together? Do you take suggestions sometimes? Do you all have to decide on a guest? Do you bring in your own producers? What's it like?

Sticky: You know what? We do all have to agree. But there is a competitiveness to the group. We're all trying to do our thing.

Fredro: It's always competitive. There's always competitiveness amongst the group members. If I see Sticky a hot line, I'm like "oh shit, let me write a hot line", so it keeps your brain working. It's better than being in the studio by yourself and you're not battling… it's not like you're battling, but it's like you're playing one-on-one basketball with somebody that's on your team. You're still gonna be competitive on the court, even though you're practicing. And when we make music, that's how it is. We're all on the same team, but when the ball's on the court, it's about who's gonna score the most points, and it's always been like that with Onyx.

Philaflava.com: So I'm just wondering, would you rather be under Def Jam still, or would you rather be independent? Whether the Jay-Z Def Jam or the old Lyor Cohen Def Jam.

Fredro: Shit, when we was on Def Jam, it WAS independent, you know what I'm saying! Then it got swallowed up in the corporate structure, and then, you know Onyx got kicked out of the building. So it's like no hard feelings, but FUCK Def Jam. I don't think we should have ever got kicked out the building, reason being, I'ma break it down like this: we didn't know until a few years after we got out of the situation. But when we were on that record label Def Jam, they didn't have any artists that were really going platinum. LL wasn't really selling. It was going from the old school to the classic era. So now you got groups like PE and groups from the LL Cool J era, they weren't really selling records. We was selling 2 million records. It was like "oh shit, Def Jam is back up with this new group." And at the time, I guess Russell's marketing records before we got there. He ended up being 40 million dollars in the hole from selling records. This is true talk, this is not bullshit. This is real math. Our first album was on Sony Records, I remember we was on the same record label as Nas! We was on Sony, going to Japan, getting all types of shit from Sony, it was cool. But, we didn't know Russell was down 40 mil! Cause we were just rappers, we're not really into the business side of things. But then, he goes and does a deal with Polygram for 80 million, pays off the Sony debt for 40, and goes on to Polygram with the 40 million, and then Def Jam kicks us out of the building, basically. They used their 40 million for a whole new roster. They got Ja Rule, and then Jay-Z came in the building. And once that came, it was outta there. But my thing is, even if our records slowed up during that time we were making a transition, you don't get rid of players that was the franchise players for the team. We helped that deal go down, I guarantee you that! Off our blood, sweat and tears. So if the players on the team get a broke leg, and they can't play anymore, you should make those motherfuckers coaches! We shoulda had our own label, or been A&R's, or something. And I think that would have been Def Jam showing us good standards, but [there are] money hungry record label pimps, and we're not trying to get pimped. So, now we're fuckin' with Koch. It's an independent situation, and it's working out MUCH better, 'cause it's an independent situation, like how Def Jam used to be. It's not all corporate with a bunch of funny-style motherfuckers running up in there. Now it's in our hands, how we market. The hits we make is on us. So, that's my story, like it or not!

And at least they could have given Jam Master Jay some paper! Not to say they didn't give Onyx no paper, but they kicked Jay out the building too. Like, Jay helped build that building back up! And the reason why I'm speaking on Jay right now, is because I just did the Jay Master Jay DVD with his [cousin], and it seems like they didn't give Jay… the proper send-off when he passed away. I don't think they took care of him financially like they should have. And that reflects on me, because I was on Jam Master Jay's record label. They should have at least gave Jay some paper when all that shit came, but you know. It's a business. You live and you learn and you learn from your mistakes. And you realize that nobody gives a fuck about anything but themselves. And that's just the way that life is.

Philaflava.com: Say word, sad but true. But on another level, I read that Ethan Brown book, Queens Reigns Supreme, and I been doing some studying. There's some words in the street about who actually killed JMJ, but there's no justice. How do y'all feel about that? How fucked up is it that there's no justice for Jam Master Jay?

Sticky: Whoo. Well,you know what? Yo, just said it, man. It's fucked up. But on the same token? In this world we live in? Ain't no justice for nobody, yo. Sean Bell got shot 51 times, ain't no justice for him either. When I get murdered or when I die, there ain't gonna be no justice for me. The only mother fuckin justice we got is from your family and friends. They can bring you justice. On this earth,it's about who got the power and who got the money, and that's it. If you don't got the money or the power, you are just a peon, a peasant and an ant, and you don't mean nothing to nobody. That's fucked up, but that's this place that we call earth.

Fredro: So with the JMJ situation, how can you get justice from getting killed in the studio around all your niggas? Who's to blame? There is no justice in that. That's just being around snake motherfuckers. Because at the end of the day, he got killed in the studio, and there's no way in the world that motherfuckers would have gotten in the studio if they didn't know Jay to give him a hug probably. Jay embraced that dude. So you cannot find justice. Even if they do find that killer, what you can find is some real niggas in the studio speaking the fuck up about the situation and let nature take its course for the person who did that shit and let God do what he gotta do to that person. But there's no justice when you're around snake motherfuckers. And it happens all the time. People who are killed around people who they think love them. It's that sad. Breaking bread with niggas, sharing space with niggas… that will actually kill you! It's fucked up! There can never be justice from that.

Philaflava.com: It's heartbreaking. From him to Big L, to so many others... But what are we going to do?

Fredro: I got a record on my solo album, there's a record on my solo album called 'Heaven Records'. Heaven Records is trying to sign me. Like they got some of the best MCs in Heaven on Heaven Records. Tupac, Biggie… "Spitting live from the Pearly Gates" that's one of my lines, but you know, this is how I think, cause one day I will be on Heaven Records. They been trying to sign me since 93, you know what I'm sayin'? I been 'posta been signed to that record label. Rest in peace to all my soldiers that died too young, with voices. They still had time to tell people about what they felt about whatever, you know what I'm sayin'? And that's what rappin' is, they are voices of the ghetto. So peace to all the fallen rappers with no more words to say. But their music lives on, and one day we'll be up there.

Philaflava.com: That's an amazing concept. I'm so glad you guys are still conceptualizing, because you guys are personalities. That's the thing, these new school motherfuckers, these dudes, their names are weak, their energy is weak, they have no characters… that's why you guys were able to go on in and be in movies, cause you guys are actual personalities, real human beings. But these new school cats are just so one dimensional to me. So how is it trying to get back into the mix of hip hop this year, when motherfuckers who may or may not know about Onyx, and how far back your history goes. What's that struggle like, trying to re-emerge with the new school?

Fredro: Just for the record, me and Tupac are like the same age. We were born in the same year. I mean, I still feel young. But I feel old. I'm like in a limbo phase. My man told me, once you have hip hop culture in you, once you are on the pulse, don't ever take your fingers off. If you never take your fingers off you ain't never gonna get old. I feel like when I'm 90, I'm going to be the same. Technology is going to change, and I'm going to grow with technology, but there's no such thing as olds chool, new school. You can categorize it like that, but when I go to Bulgaria and Russia and I'm jumping off the plane, it feels like I'm in 93, anyways. So, you are in your own time element, you make your own time. You got some people right now just stuck in the 70's, with the afro. Mentally, in the 70's. You got some people who move along with the time and stay current. So time is how you make it. How you feel about life. And I feel so young. I feel like I'm 16, 17. But I know I'm a grown ass man. I'm kinda still going thru transitions of growing and being a person.

Philaflava.com: How about you Sticky? What's it like coming back to a game where you were a legend, but the fans might not know you're a legend? They don't know all the classic verses you dropped and all the history you made?

Sticky: Maaan… you know, I'll say this. It's like moving to a new town. You can start all over and be fresh again. You know what is? [indecipherable]he doesn't have to know the sun, but he's gonna feel the rays when he stands in front of it. So whether they know or don't know, as soon as they hear, they are going to know. And we are going to give them a little tutorial at the same time. That's why we got the Onyx documentary. Also, The Cold Case Album Files. Stuff that was never released. Then we are going to come with the stickyfingaz.com solo album, then after that we are going to come with the Black Rock album. And after that, even the new fans are going to be going for it, I believe.

Philaflava.com: So, Sticky, one thing that always fucked me up as a hip hop head, is that I thought Universal took waaay too long to drop the Kirk Jones album. They fucked shit up, but I gotta ask, do you regret…

Sticky: Let me tell you, it wasn't all their fault, man. It was partially my fault, cause I broke my foot. So the day that it was supposed to come out, it got pushed back a few months and the whole marketing plan got fucked up cause I broke my foot and I was on cructches. So I couldn't do all the regular performances and shows I had scheduled. It was partially my fault too. It's okay. I still don't regret it, cause it still was a fuckin' brilliant album. It is what it is.

Philaflava.com: So you never regretted not signing to Shady Records? Do you ever think, "Man, I shoulda went over there"?

Fredro: Nah, it wasn't Shady Records, it was Aftermath. You know what? I never signed to it, so how could I regret it? How can you regret something if you don't know what the reverse of it would be, you know what I mean? You gotta understand, I'm a real violent person. And around that time, [i] had a lot of problems with a lot of people. And around that time, I always had my motherfuckin' pistol with me. So if I signed to Aftermath, I could have been dead or in jail, who knows? I have no regrets. It could have been bigger, or it could have been worse. Who knows? I'm alive and well right now, and that's all that matters. I don't look to the future or to the past. I'm just here right now, in the moment, you know?

Philaflava.com: So are you guys gonna ever hook up with MOP or the Lox? Or are we going to get another Wu-Tang and Onyx shit? Cause I need more than just 'TheWorst'! That shit was the fuckin' best shit ever!

Sticky: Heh heh heh. All three of the groups you named, I like all three of them. Two of them, I actually love. And in the future? You can't tell the future, you know. I would love to do a song with anyone of them dudes. But you can't tell the future. It might happen, it might not happen, who knows? But it's a green light from my stance.

Philaflava.com: What makes it hard to make shit happen in this game? Is it more politics, money, or schedules, or just everything? Cause you guys are making movies… Sticky, I know your catalogue. You been in like 45-47 movies, and directed three. So I imagine you can get some shit done, but what kind of shit happens where you can't get shit done? What do you have to deal with?

Sticky: I think that scheduling fucks up things sometimes, people having the same schedule. But anything that me, or you, or anybody puts their mind to, you can make happen. Period. There's no such thing as can't.
