HHDX: Speaking of lyrics and lyricists, are you offended when somebody says you aren’t a lyricist?
Yung Joc: I don’t care because I’m not. I’m not a lyricist; I never claimed to be one. I leave that up to the Nas’, the Jiggas’, the Talib Kwelis’ and the KRS-Ones’. I make club music, music you could dance to. I make feel good music. There are times when I hear a Jay-Z lyric and I’m like “Damn, that’s crazy.” But, if you’re in the club sometimes you don’t wanna think about what the rapper is saying. You just wanna have fun. I mean even Diddy, Diddy ain’t no lyrical dude and he’s real well off.

HHDX: So you were doing well financially from the start. You had the Block money and the Bad Boy money?
Yung Joc: Well I had a percentage of the Block money and then whatever money I got from the deal with Bad Boy. I’m doing well overall. A lot of artists wanna talk about certain things but like me, I just got listed in Forbes as one of the Top 20 highest paid rappers for the year. I just did that interview today and it’ll be in that publication soon.
