Red Carpet 1Q & 1A with Hip-Hop Icon ERIC B.

RG: From your perspective, what do you think of the state of Hip-Hop music right now?

EB: I love it. It's great and it's interesting. You have your guys like Soulja Boy and Jay-Z. Some of the staples of Rap music are still around like LL Cool J. I think it's growing and some of our veterans are still in the game. It's like saying that you're still able to see Michael Jordan play basketball and at his prime.
There are a lot of great records out there. There's guys like Lil Wayne that put a lot of hard work into this business and a lot people take them for granted. Lil Wayne WORKS. There are a lot of people that came up with us that were prima donnas and didn't really wanna work, but currently Lil Wayne works every day. His work ethic is similar to the late, great Tupac Shakur.

(Q&A conducted in late June 2K9, Joe's Pub, New York City)
