02/06: XXLMAG.com Interviews Yung Joc
This is a week old, but
worth reading, anyway.
Rarely in hip-hop do you see someone coming out clean-cut, positive and having fun. Do you think that’s helped with your success?
Definitely. I had a different sound and a different look. I wasn’t the average dope boy or thug, so it kind of helped. “He’s not wearing what everybody’s wearing. He’s hot.” It draws people in, and that’s what helps create a movement. A lot of people consider me the Southern Ma$e. But before he was Ma$e…
He was Murder Ma$e.
Exactly. So there was another element. Just because you don’t see it now doesn’t mean it don’t exist. The different elements are there, but what I reflect… I don’t wanna portray all those images, so I don’t define myself in one. I used to sell dope. I did all that s***. Don’t just think I’m a good boy. I know better now. I’m a grown man now. I got kids. This s*** is for real to me. I’m really living my dream right now. All that dumb s*** is in the past.
