Lil’ Dirty Bastard is the latest sensation in the topsy-turvy world of pre-adolescent hip hop. With three platinum albums, numerous music and video awards, and a sold-out tour (which he co-headlined with Honky MC Jr. to his credit), Lil’ Dirty Bastard is ready to take it to the next level. We visited him in his gold-plated crib to find out about his movie career, new fashion line and what he thinks aboout biters.
RW: You just dropped your latest album, Chillin’ in the Crib, to much critical acclaim, and your latest single, “This Lil’ Bastard” was the song of the summer. Look Whose Rappin’, a film you wrote, directed, and starred in, has grossed $275 million, and is about to be released in twenty foreign countries. You won the Palm d’Or at Cannes, and even money says you’ll win at least a few Oscars. That’s in addition to all your Grammys and awards from MTV, BET, and the PTA. Whats’ the secret to your success?
LDB: Goo goo, ga ga.
RW: Interesting. You’re quite a trendsetter and you recently introduced your own clothing line, which is called Mack Baby. What can you tell us about that?
LDB: Bbbbbbllllle. Ahhh. Heeeheee.
RW: Ha! Yeah, the silk jammies are pretty dope. Now, a lot of people have copied your style. How does it make you feel, when you’re out for a stroll, to see so many other kids rockin’ the pacifiers and the Gucci?
LDB: Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
RW: President Bush is a big fan of your music. He says that your song, “Peek-A-Boo-Ya” is his favorite. He recently invited you to perform it at the White House, but you declined the invitation. Why?
LDB: (poops in pants)
RW: Uh oh! I guess we should wind this up so you can get changed. Anything you’d like to add?
LDB: Gggul, goo goo ga vvvvvv, mmmmmm. Hmmmm, gagagagagaga na. Eeeh fafa goo. Goo.
RW: All right. Say, are you going to finish your mashed bananas?
LDB: (falls asleep)
