New D12 album?
- Thread starter Cranky
- Start date
Interview with Proof from allhiphop.com
AHH: You speak the truth, yo! Check this out, I want to talk about D-12 as a whole, you know what I'm saying? Y'all sold a multi-platinum record, but there are six members of your team. Do you see that as a disadvantage where the money is concerned, or do you feel y'all exceeded all expectations as far as wealth, fame, and all the worldly shit?
Proof: I can speak for every group member when I say we have not gained the respect that we want as lyricists. Because of the picture that was painted, Em's success, and that "Purple Pill" shit, it pushed us into the pop culture. We feel like we fucked up on the first album. All the dudes in the group can really spit. I don't think we got our respect as spitters. I'm a battle rapper, and nobody knows that, you know what I'm saying?
AHH: When can we expect the next D-12 jump off?
Proof: It's supposed to be this summer. The thing is there was no battle element on the first record; we didn't say shit. Next time out, I'm coming for my respect.

Proof is speakin' some realness on that shit. I fuckin' hate when someone is talkin' about D12 or they come up in a music conversation and people say "Oh yeah, that purple pills song is cool".....I'm thinkin' damn that's the shittiest track on that CD. People listened to that one song, and didn't venture into the tightest parts of that album. That's fucked up.....Good post cartoon....
The second D12 CD is currently scheduled for August 2003, but I bet they will push it back. I heard the current planned name from a trustable source but I cant find it in my irc logs (will keep looking), something about Detroit if I remember correctly.
Eminem is helping the production greatly but he won't be on it "as" much lyrically as the first one simply because by now everyone knows who D12 is. It also sounds like theyre going for a more hardcore sound, whereas the first CD was more somewhat Humor based in a lot of their songs..
After that... shit... hopefully a 4th Eminem CD
