1. What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen a rapper do?
I watched this rapper openly make an attempt to discredit Wendy Day at her own event. The building was full of people who love and respect her. I’m not saying he’s not entitled to his own opinion. All I’m saying is you don’t say “f— Hue Hefner” at a party in the Playboy Mansion especially when the party is in his honor, ya feel me? I personally think she’s a wonderful woman. Shout out to Wendy Day.
2. Are people still banging in Little Rock?
Yeah, we still bangin’… out your stereos and i-pods. We bangin real LOUD.
3. What album do you wish you had made?
Off the top of my head I would have to say it would be between N.W.A.’s Niggaz4Life and UGK’s Ridin Dirty. The continuity of those albums is phenomenal. Kanye’s 808’s & Heartbreak album flows the same way. Biggie’s and Bone Thugs in Harmony’s second albums were perfect in my opinion also.
4. Who’s the first person to the studio? You or Killer Mike?
That all depends on what’s happening at the studio. If we’re just working, I’m the first one there. But if it’s a party, the big homie already up through there. He likes his sessions to feel like a good time rather than a stressful day at work. It creates a positive vibe for the work environment though. I can dig it.
5. What’s the best thing a woman has ever told you?
She said, “Jonesy…You are NOT the father.” Seriously though, it was a female judge. She read me the “not guilty” verdict.
6. What city has the worst cops?
Say now that’s a tough one. Don’t get me wrong the police at the crib (Little Rock, AR) are a trip. The police are the biggest gang in the country. Mississippi cops, Oakland, Calif. cops, and the Highway 95 patrol in Florida ain’t playing no games either. They might not lock you up but they gone give you hell before they wish you well on your way. Believe that.
7. Who would win a game of pick-up basketball— you or Obama?
I’m gonna have to give it to the president. He can’t see me on that 2k9 for the Xbox 360 though.
8. What’s the first thing Obama should do once he gets in office?
I honestly couldn’t say. Bush left him a big mess to clean up, man. Whatever it is, it needs to be close to home though– something grass roots level and community based.
9. Why should people listen to S.L. Jones?
People should listen to S.L.JONES because it’s good music. Entertaining music. Honest music. Quality music. I do it for the people. I am them.
10. You’re stranded on an island. What’s the one CD you have with you?
I’m taking my album C.O.L.O.R.S. Bangin on Wax with me. I saw Tom Hanks in Castaway. He didn’t even have anything but a volleyball named Wilson. He was out there bad.
