Total Eclipse was like the first completely independent joint for Black Moon. How happy were you with the sales and overall noise the album made?

I wasn’t happy at all. Not at the sales. I was happy about the response. I heard Busta Rhymes and Rah Digga did a mixtape mix over ‘Looking Down the Barrel.’ People hear the songs and hear the album and I think everybody who has heard it has given it a good opinion. Now its like Buck keep coming we not going to throw our hands up to you now, come again. The bottom line is while you have the satisfaction now is the time to come and that’s why I’m coming with the solo album. It’s going to be bananas and there is a such thing as coming with today’s sound and your gonna hear that. I’ll tell you what you not gonna hear, you not gonna hear Buckshot rhyming to no “Stand Up” or any type of beat like that.

To wrap up give us some more info on the solo album and what we can expect?

Well again it’s called “Melody Man.” On this album I demonstrate how no one can flow like I flow and the topics I have is there. I don’t care if people bite rhymes or beats but I do not like when I start to see people bite flows and have people starting to think they started that flow. Before me nobody was flowing like that. Niggas never knew about flowing like that. Everything was really choppy like EPMD, LL, Kane these dudes don’t flow like Buck. Their voices don’t become a melody. I’m not trying to over emphasize it too much and every song or verse aint gonna be like that but you will know I am the master at that. I don’t care who comes after. That’s me. You listen to “I Got You Opin” or “How Many Emcees” and those tracks will let you know that.

When do you think you’ll be finishing that up?

I don’t have a date yet. I don’t know when its gonna be done. Whenever its finished.

The Bullets (stupid questions we ask anyway)

Which would be cooler for TV: reality TV shows going off the air or Madonna tongue kissing a girl with herpes?

Both

Would you rather see MTV’s Wild Boys get attacked by an annoyed safari beast or one of Ashton Kutcher Punk’d jokes go horribly wrong with Mike Tyson?

Ashton Kutcher joke going wrong with Mike Tyson definitely.

Would you rather see The Crocodile Hunter get pummeled by a gorilla or the Hilton sisters move to Mars?

The Hilton sisters move to Mars. I don’t even understand two rinky-dink, slinky asses being an important issue.

What do you hate the most grown men calling you buddy and champ every other word they say to you or niggas that keep smiling at you every time they pass by you throughout the day?

The second one. I don’t give a damn if you call me buddy and pal you’re just a goof ball but if you smiling at me I don’t care what your reason is if it’s a joke either put me on or something’s going down kid.

Politicians that think everyone should kiss they ass because they kissed an urban kid on the forehead or celebrities that date minors and think they can get off because they got money?

Politicians I don’t care who they kiss.

Who do you hate most niggas who put rims on a fucked up car or ones who put a big loud system in a jacked up car?

The first, you know why, I’ve actually seen a Buick century with a pair of hubcap spinners on it.
