All right. Well, try to keep the vulgarities to a minimum here, since this is public radio.
 
(Cree'O) I speak from mah heart. If it say fuck, I say fuck. Aight?
 
Okay. Fair enough. Now, Cree'O, what side do you hail from?
 
(Cree'O) Well is like I'm sayin, I don't take no sides. I am free, yo.
 
(KROO) True, true.
 
So tell us a little about your new album.
 
(T-Q) I can field this one, Cree.
 
(Cree'O) Go'ead.
 
(T-Q) Well, it is the embodiment of our soul. We had taken a few years off from "Troo" because we had, well, we had been burnt out.
 
(KROO) True, true. Dayum.
 
(MD) Yeuh, we wus so tired, like...we din move fo owas at a tahm, mah bruva.
 
So, MacDawgnawlds, since you're the spokesperson, was it hard putting together this new album?
 
(MD) Why you gotsta change da play? Mah man T-Q say he goan ta ansa dat shit. Ah cain answer dat question, yo.
 
(Cree'O) Yeah, man, is like, MacDawgnawld's is our main spokespersizon. Yahmean? But like, you was aksin T-Q, he can answer dat shit.
 
Yes, but I'm really interested in what MacDawgnawld's has to say.
 
(T-Q) It's all right, everyone. I'm used to this.
 
(Cree'O) Ain' right, yo. Mah man T-Q is jes bein' true, and you tryin' ta put mah man on da spot. Mah man M D cain' field all the questiozisions.
 
I understand. And I will get to everyone eventually. But right now, I'd like to hear from MacDawgnawld's.
 
(T-Q) I think the man just wants MacDawgnawld's fair and honest opinion, guys.
 
I have nothing against T-Q, I think he is a fine asset to the group. But I believe MacDawgnawld's has the "skills", as you put it, to answer honestly and from the heart. You know what I mean? So? MacDawgnawld's?
