He even produced and directed a p*rn movie called \u201cSexy Sluts: Been There Done That.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>His 2007 album \u201cDeath Rap\u201d featured appearances by Scott Ian of Anthrax, Dave Ellefson of Megadeth, and even Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed.<\/p>\n<p>As a rapper, Necro has been featured with the likes of Wu-Tang\u2019s U-God, DMC from Run-DMC, and his real-life brother Ill Bill from Non-Phixon and La Coka Nostra.<\/p>\n<p>As a producer, aside from producing all of his own tracks, Necro has created tracks for Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, Cage of Eminem battle rap fame, and most recently Kool G Rap, one of the most influential emcees in history and the original gangster rapper.<\/p>\n<p>Necro\u2019s latest project, The Godfathers, is a collaborative effort with Kool G Rap. \u201cOnce Upon A Crime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking to Necro was a legit honor. And STILL is, you FUCKING slime bucket:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>The first Necro song I ever heard was \u201cSTD\u201d. Is that based on a real experience you had with a \u201cnasty stinkbox?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2>It\u2019s fiction but it\u2019s based off reality. I came across a lot of stinky bitches and it turned me off and I couldn\u2019t relate to how any chick could smell, even that young getting pussy at 12, it was like \u201cwtf?&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><em>What was it like when you were pushing the \u201cNecro EP\u201d in \u201898? How many record execs, DJ\u2019s, etc. were telling you that pushing it was a waste of time?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Necro: In 1998 my lawyer was the one that got Eminem his deal, and my own lawyer told me nobody is willing to sign white rappers, then he hooked up Em.<\/p>\n<p>I felt disgusted, jealous &amp; betrayed. I wasn\u2019t allowed a chance by these industry people but they were all sucking Em\u2019s dick, like there is only room for one white guy in hip hop.<\/p>\n<p>It was very racial and demeaning, but obviously hip hop was in my heart and I decided to start my own label because I related to Master P and his hustle.<\/p>\n<p>But it was whack man, that no one would give me a record deal; I got no love at all, even from lawyers I was paying.<\/p>\n<p>Back then lawyers wanted to get their asses kissed and wanted to be like the artists, hanging out at the clubs. I didn\u2019t get that shit, I was never taught to politic; I was about the art. I just didn\u2019t have that manager that could play the fake game like Em had with Paul.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>What made your album \u201cThe Sexorcist\u201d come to be? Does it bother you that people can\u2019t overlook the sex-drenched theme and appreciate what you did production wise?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>NECRO: I always loved p*rn so to graduate into rapping sex was natural, plus I definitely was influenced by songs like \u201cTalk Like Sex.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And p*rn itself, my father being into p*rn. It always intrigued me, so I started building in that subject matter lane.<\/p>\n<p>The fact anyone would have issue with the topics is suspect because we wouldn\u2019t be on earth if ya mom and dad didn\u2019t fuck \u2013 it\u2019s not a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why everyone does it; to make humans you must fuck, so should it be a chore? Or can it be awesome? So awesome sex is positive and I rap about that and I tap into the foulness of it all too.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s sensitive with disease and other sickness \u2013I got no time for anyone that don\u2019t salute my steeze.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>What happened with you producing p*rno? Be as descriptive as you want.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I made a p*rno and the industry was too difficult to be in, I was based in NYC and that business is based in LA \u2013 so you can\u2019t run p*rn from NYC, just won\u2019t work, and I was too into my music or else I would have just jumped into the p*rn game.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t lose my $20k investment, but I didn\u2019t make anything but my money back so it was a cool experience I suppose.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>How did you and Kool G Rap hook up? In a lot of ways you guys have had similar careers, both rhyming about subjects a lot of emcees wouldn\u2019t touch.<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I reached out to G first on twitter. When we first met, KGR said something interesting to me regarding being respected for lyricism and being rich.<\/p>\n<p>He said we chose being respected for lyricism first while most of the commercial rappers chose making money first. Although I have been trying to be a millionaire since 18, it made sense, because I have always followed my heart artistically and a lot of the times it didn\u2019t help me financially because I was out for respect.<\/p>\n<p>It was strange when you analyze that comment G made, because it\u2019s real and makes you think about choices and what we really choose deep down to end up where we are in life.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>While you\u2019re making The Godfathers album, are you two writing together and planning out verses? What determines how you\u2019re structuring the songs on this album?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We have discussed a lot of things regarding the project together, and on some beats we just do our thing and then present it.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t live next door to each other, but we are in sync mentally on the vision. The concept has changed from being just gunnin\u2019 to adding some Mafioso style tracks to it, but it\u2019s not like a concept album where its one subject.<\/p>\n<p>The concept is the combo of KGR &amp; Necro \u2013 that\u2019s a concept in itself. Two of the hardest lyricists, KGR dropping his debut in 1989, then me starting PLR in 1999 10 years later, and dropping \u201cI Need Drugs\u201d in the streets end of 1999, in chains 2000.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Necro debuting 10 years after KGR, even though there is videos of me spitting on YouTube in \u201992 and doing radio shows since \u201994, I wasn\u2019t ready for my debut til 2000 \u2013 and I see a lot of rappers that look up to me, they didn\u2019t drop their debuts until 2010 \u2013 so its weird how every 10 years new blood comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Combining Kool G Rap &amp; Necro is a unique thing since he is the Godfather of all technical lyricism and gangster rap, and then me being influenced by G, I decided to create my own genre, Death Rap, to separate myself from everyone else, because I always wanted my own lane, and I am definitely the Godfather in that realm.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s why the name worked because we are both Godfathers in what we do, but I can see how the name would evoke thoughts of the mafia.<\/p>\n<p>So after avoiding that, we decided to rock a few joints with that style, but the majority is gunnin\u2019 with some topics on criminality. It\u2019s a very street record but with pure lyricism and east coast production like the eras we loved.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><em>Way back when Necro first started doing live shows, is there a time or bad experience that comes to mind where you thought about giving up because what you were doing was so different and innovative compared to anything else?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I would joke all the time that I am gonna quit just to hear whatever fans I had at the time go, \u201cNo, no, no don\u2019t!\u201d Or whoever was around me, they would say nah, you got something, keep doing it. Plus I love the music above all, it\u2019s in my heart and soul.<\/p>\n<p>I always view my career as past the point of no return, can\u2019t go back now, I have come too far, so it\u2019s either win or die! And I don\u2019t plan to die yet, so winning is the only option for me.<\/p>\n<h3><em>All true winners have faced triumph and defeat and loss and obstacles in their life at some stage.<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>For more information on Necro, check out his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/necrohiphop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/necrohiphop\">Facebook page here<\/a>.

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1078"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1078\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41363,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1078\/revisions\/41363"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
