Beam Me Up Scotty just dropped.
Yeah.
How you feel about that?
Super excited.
I feel like it reflects who
I really am.
I think the other CD’s was just
one facet of my personality
it was more like with the raunchy stuff
and this CD is more of me
making music and singing
and just, you know, doing, uh,
making a all around CD that everybody
can like.
You’re originally from Queens, Jamaica.
Yeah.
You spend a lot of time out there?
No.
Spent?
Spent, yeah.
I grew up in South Side Jamaica, Queens.
Like I am South Side Jamaica, Queens.
I actually just shot my
MTV Mixtape Monday stuff in Baisley Park
yesterday, yes.
Yup, and everybody, like all the dudes
I grew up with they just was
couldn’t believe that I’m standing
in Baisley Park with a MTV mic in my hand
like it was just a good look
for us, period.
You know what I’m saying,
‘cause I don’t think since
50 we haven’t had somebody screaming
South Side Jamaica Queens and
now we do.
I was on the Colosseum block yesterday
and all the little girls
oh God, shout out to all the little girls
that’s on the Colosseum,
they couldn’t believe it was me
so they started coming up to me like
looking at my tattoo, they be like
I know that tattoo, that’s her, that’s her
it was so cute but I couldn’t believe
how young they were.
Like these girls range from like
thirteen to seventeen coming from high school
you know every one of them had
me in their ipods and on their screensavers
and it was just so cute.
Well you went to like a special high school, right?
Yeah.
Performing arts?
You said special like I’m mentally retarded
for a second, yeah.
I studied drama.
Okay, so, uh, what kind of acting
were you doing with that?
Mostly stage, um…
Anything I might have seen?
No.
Actually, I did like an
off, off broadway play
one time, too, after school, but
it wasn’t nothing.
It wasn’t, I think at that time
I wasn’t focused enough to
maintain an acting career.
I didn’t realize that you have
to really be focused, like going on
all those auditions and stuff like that
for agents and I wasn’t there yet.
I was too all over the place.
So you big on like movies right now?
Actually, no, I’m not,
to be honest, I’m not big on anything.
I’m so out of the loop,
just focusing on writing.
Well, you probably don’t get
too much free time now.
I don’t get any free time.
But if you did, what would you do with it?
Hm.
If I did maybe I would vacation or something.
You know, like, sit in a chair
and let somebody feed me cherries and grapes.
Take someone like you with me and
I don’t know, just get it poppin’.
But I don’t get the chance, really, babe.
Could you free my schedule up so maybe
me and you can like
I don’t know how much power
I have over that but uh.
I wish the camera could see you
your face is so cute when you
do that smile.
Look, look, look.
Thank you honey.
That was my goal, to not get served
by you, ‘cause I seen you
serve a lot of people on camera, so.
What do you mean get served,
who got served?
What do you mean?
I mean I watched certain DVDs
on the mall, you know like,
create the hood and whatever else.
So what you thought I was gonna do?
Nothing, but I mean, like
you get into an exchange with somebody
and then they just end up
looking stupid.
You know, like I just did.
Are you serious, I don’t
I guess I am a man-eater.
Yeah, I’m like a man-eater, dude.
Yeah, I don’t know what that is.
I’m so sweet for you babe.
You are very sweet.
Thanks.
I feel like this is our first date,
what the hell is going on.
Is this an interview or a freaking date?
No, I’ll stop.
I think that spells it, though,
I think I got, you know,
everything, um, that I needed really.
Yeah, I think you got everything
Are you sure you got everything
that you wanted?
That’s what you wanted from me?
Burned me again.
You’re like a goody two shoes.

I was not gonna get a Twitter
but they forced me to do it.
I hated it, but I’m on Twitter now.
I thought you been had a Twitter.
That was a fake Twitter.
I had two, I had like three fake Twitters.
I was tweeting at the fake Twitter.
Yeah.
My new Twitter and only Twitter I’ve ever had
is Nicki Minaj.
That Ninja and Nicki and I am Nick,
nuh uh.
That’s not me, boo.
Crazy.
I don’t know why they do that.
But it’s a fan so I don’t be all,
I can’t be mad ‘cause
she wasn’t doing craziness but
I just had to get my Twitter.
I sent that fan some very explicit messages
you know, so.
Oh, whatever.
You’re not built like that.
You’re not even built like that.
I’m sorry.
If we see her we can jump her together.
You wanna Minaj?
