“It’s kinda like doing a Jackson 5 album with Boyz II Men. Two different eras, great artists, but Boyz II Men is not the Jackson 5.“

“I’m too old to be making dis songs. I’m too wise to be making shots at anybody, but my thing is I’m a business man at the end of it. You can call it whatever you want to call it, but you can’t call it a Big Tymers album.”

Well said Mannie.

Mannie Fresh and Yasiin Bey started working on a project and later named the LP OMFGOD. In a recent interview with HipHopDX, Mannie Fresh says the LP has been completed. The two are going the independent route in releasing LP, and will contain 10 songs.

“We recorded way more than that. But rather than to [just] have somebody say like, ‘Oh, wow’ – I think a lot of times when you do that you throw away music. So, I just wanna give people like ten bangers and let’s be out. Some of those songs, I feel like we should just throw [them] out there. I’m that dude that think of songs to sample that no cats would ever think of. That’s one of ’em. And, given the response … I always read from bloggers what they checkin’ out, and people are like, ‘Dude, that song right there [is the one].’ But if it don’t [make the album], believe me, we gonna put it out. ‘Cause I mean, it would be a waste [if we didn’t].”

Mannie Fresh also revealed that he has a song deal with Kanye West. He says they have done alot of songs, but it’s Kanye’s decision whether or not we get to hear them.

“I got a good song deal with G.O.O.D. Music,” he noted. “A perfect song deal, that pays a lot. But, I just chose not to be signed because that don’t work for me.”

“We did a lot of songs, but ultimately it’s on Kanye, what he picks,” explained Mannie of why the roughly half-dozen other songs he was involved in creating with Kanye’s crew have yet to see the light of day. “I’m not the boss at G.O.O.D. Music, but I can say I got paid well. I would have loved for some of the other songs to make it, but ultimately it’s Kanye’s choice.”
