Da Bush Babees
Bullets (are usually pointless questions that we ask anyway)
This is the first scenario and it’s political. You got two people hanging off of a seventeen story building by the tip of their fingers. One is President Bush and one is Saddam who do you save?
Light: Hahaha. Bush dead!
Mr. Man: I’d be in the studio on the fourth floor of the building so I probably wouldn’t even know they were up there.
Light: Khaliyl takes the passive approach and me I’d have one blunt in my lip and step on dem fuckin fingers. He no have a chance. And Saddam I’d pull him up and lock him up but George Bush would drop.
If you could bring any deceased artist back to do a song with them who would you choose?
Light: Bob Marley of course.
Mr. Man: Pythagoras, the dude who created the concept of music mathematically, scientifically and rhythmically.
Which rapper is really wack to you right now, who you are just not feeling?
Mr. Man: Shit there’s so many
Light: The second part of your question is the key who am I just not feeling. I can assess who just can’t rap like just having cadence and certain things that’s a lot of people. Who I don’t like especially…
Mr. Man: Benzino
Light: I saw him in Miami and I didn’t even want to say what’s up.
The last category is Hot or Not.
Milky Way Candy Bars
Mr. Man: Not
Nelly
Light: He’s hot
Puffy’s Clothing Line, Sean John
Light: That’s hot
ODB
Light: He’s a madman yo.
Mr. Man: Hot. That joint he did on the Neptunes album.
Light: He’s musically hot but he’s a madman.
Carson Daly
Light: Nice guy but he’s not hot though.
Mos Def
Mr. Man: Hot
Light: Hot!
Common
Light: Hot
Haagan Daz Ice Cream
Mr. Man: Hot

Light: Not, the man too unsure of himself.
Washington Wizards
Light: Hahaha come on
Mr. Man: Jah Rule should be playing for the Washington Wizards

These cats are mature and sadly, hardly ever seen. I would love to have a forum, like Rap City (which nowadays, is more like Crap City), where the whole spectrum of Hip Hop is shown, not just the shiny stuff.
But if anyone knows a site, where a brother, can hear some Real Shit! Holla cause I can’t listen to my radio anymore.
Peace.

just reading this interview this year 2007! shit i can’t believe i missed it!
Bush Babies are the shit! Always will be unique. I bump Gravity from an old cassette cause i can’t find the cd here in Johannesburg (I’ll try Cape Town) but anyways, this old tape of mine brings back the exact memories of how i felt first time when i heard them. the feeling never changes and it reminds me of how the music was inaccessable in South Africa in the 90’s and listening to different groups was a privilage. I’m 31 now and i still pump Gravity…’plus my voice is fly’ ha, ha, ha, ha…

Bush babies were a unique group. All lyrically talented. The mix of hip hop and reggage was great and the production was good. I was in brooklyn back in the early 90’s. Good time for hip hop music. groups like Tribe, De la and Fu-Shnickens ( what became of the Fu-Shnickens) were hot. I still play play and love the music of that era. I think Da Bush Babies would be a nice change of pace compared to what we have now. The music now is still pretty good but there is something missing, a void which I think a group like the Da Bush Babies alongside Mos def and Talib can fill.
