Operating Room Interview (A)

[Intro]

WBAU and Gun City, we rock all over

[Doctor Dre]

And speaking about rocking all over, in the studios right now, we have Mr. DJ Scott La Rock and KRS-One. What's happening, fellas? Wait a minute, don't be bashful, you're not going to be sitting back

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Yo, what's up?

[Doctor Dre]

This isn't down the dial, those aren't those super powerful mics. Get up, let's go. What's happenin'?

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Chillin' Dre

[Doctor Dre]

What's happenin'? How y'all doing out there?

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Alright

[Doctor Dre]

Now, now, I mean, everything could be basic and say, "How'd you guys start out?" You got this pumpin' cut "South Bronx," first of all. I could ask you, how come you made that record? But I guess the record basically explains that

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Not really

[Doctor Dre]

I'ma ask you that anyway, though. My main question is: what's all this static going on? What's all this static? Explain it to us. Now everybody knows what timе it is and what we're talking about. We wanna know what's thе static going on between Mr. Magic, Marley Marl, MC Shan, Roxanne Shanté, and the Boogie Down Production, we'd like to know. Let us know. What's happenin'?

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Well, myself, I'ma tell it like this, Magic got a big mouth, he needs to shut up. That's what time it is

[Doctor Dre]

Tell it like it is, keep telling it

[DJ Scott La Rock]

That's it. Magic got a serious problem, he has an identity crisis, he continues to run his mouth, and me and my crew not going for him no more, that's it. He tried to diss us one night in the studio a couple months ago, I said, "Yo Kris, let's put out this record, let's diss him." We dissed him, that's it

[Doctor Dre]

You dissed him very hard. So Mr. KRS-One, what is your side of this?

[KRS-One]

Well

[Doctor Dre]

Come on, don't front on it

[KRS-One]

You can hear me clearly?

[Doctor Dre]

I can hear you clearly. Jump on that microphone over there. I want to hear this clearly. I don't care

[KRS-One]

Okay, bust this, right, there's one line in "The Bridge" that says, "the monument for hip-hop is right in your face. Sit and listen for a while to the name of the place, the Bridge, the Bridge, the Bridge." That lie possessed us to do "South Bronx." When you say monument, I mean think of a monument for hip-hop. It's not Queens. That's it

[Doctor Dre]

I mean, no, I'm not gonna say that's in your opinion. I'm not gonna say you're right. I'm not gonna say you're wrong

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Yo, I'm not dissing nobody from Queens, you know. Queens is a nice place to live and all of that, but...

[KRS-One]

I wouldn't wanna live there

[DJ Scott La Rock]

It's just a certain couple individuals there are suckers. That's all it is, man. That's life

[Doctor Dre]

No, no, no. Tell us, tell us the real deal. Tell us seriously what's going on. Because the thing is, we did invite, we did invite Mr. Magic up here tonight. That's why I'm stopping the record. So everyone remembers last week we had an open invitation to Mr. Magic because we know he listens to the show, we know

[DJ Scott La Rock]

Well, Magic

[Doctor Dre]

The things that we do here that happen over there, and we just say, "I know he didn't think about it. I know he didn't make it up."

[DJ Scott La Rock]

It's like this, Dre. They put out the record "The bridge," we came back with "South Bronx," they came back with that weak record "Kill That Noise," so Magic's on the radio talking about, "I guess we won the battle," right out them big lips of his. So we came back with "The Bridge is Over, we knocked them out the box, he got panicky, started making all types of lies and rumors. They wanna battle us now. We was supposed to battle the Apollo Theater. They started pumpin' that Kool-Aid. So then we took out Shan, Marlon, and the Juice Crew. They couldn't deal with us. They get some other kid, I don't know who he is, some little, I'm not gonna call him, well, he's a sucker, whoever he is, Poet

[Doctor Dre]

Tell it like it is

[DJ Scott La Rock]

I'm a man, I'm a college graduate, I own my own business

[Doctor Dre]

Tell it like it is

[DJ Scott La Rock]

He's a little boy. I don't know who he is, but come out, "I'ma beat you down". You ain't gonna beat nobody down. He's a little boy. I'm not gonna waste my time going back and battling him, so there's another little kid out there got something to say and making money off of my name. That's it. That's it. We'll see who makes more money in five years. Look at my bank book, at my real estate, and tell me what you got. A crack house, that's it. That's it, money. That's it. That's it

[Doctor Dre]

Mr. Scott La Rock, incredible, incredible. Ah, KRS-One, you have to, you have to say some more things about this. I mean, what inspires you to write these lyrics? Beside him talking too much, what inspires you to write these lyrics like this for "The Bridge is Over" and "South Bronx"?

[KRS-One]

Well, first of all, Boogie Down Production has to be absolutely, positively different from every single crew out here

[Doctor Dre]

Anyway, anyway, we're gonna play "The Bridge is Over." Scott La Rock, KRS-One, they're gonna grab a phone line, give them a call 516-747-4757. Let them know that you want this to happen. We're gonna work on getting the whole thing to happen

[KRS-One]

Ayy Dre, listen, one thing: I'd like to dedicate this record to Roxanne Shanté. Thank you

[DJ Scott La Rock]

And Dre, I got one thing to say, I want them to know that we have a new record coming out called, "Watch My Nine Millimeter Go Bang!" We're gonna preview it tonight here, right? That's what time is. You see this gold gun on my neck? It's German Luger. Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, yeah

[Doctor Dre]

KRS-One, Scott La Rock, we'll be back with you right after "The Bridge is Over" right here, 90.3 FM WBAU
