24: Last time we sat down together with you until now, your bank
account has definitely gained some green based on your winnings from
the reality show G’s to Gents how do you feel?
 
Creepa: Shit, I
mean basically just like the first time you interviewed me I was
letting you know I would be getting ready to kill the game (lol). I
only can show you better then I can tell you. Just like Mr. Bentley
said at the end of the show, to whom much is given, much is required so
I’m going to give the people what they want, and what they have been
waiting for and begging for a long time, and will give it to them
because I am the people.
 
24: From the basic things that you
were taught on the show such as the grammer, chivalry, ettiquete, what
has really stuck with you in this experience?
 
Creepa: I guess
the part… if you want to be a businessman, I would say the part when
we were in the studio with Irv Gotti. Basically we went there for a
business meeting, even though he spit it was not even suppose to be
about that, and what I realized is that there is a time and a place for
everything and you know you have to conduct yourself professionally to
make it better for you, because some time you can put your foot in your
mouth and mess things up like somebody did.
 
24: Have you stayed
in contact with the other cast members that were also on the show or do
you just stay to yourself apart from everyone?
 
Creepa: Yeah, I
keep in contact with my boy D-boy he just hit me up, I just got off the
phone with him. I talk to Bentley everyday. Kesan hit me up every once
in a while you know that’s my lil dude there, he’s a smart cat, it’s
just sometimes he makes decisions that sets him back a little bit but
he’s a real intelligent cat, and I wish him the best. I use to talk to
E6 every once in a while but you know I don’t take nothing personal
because evey body doing their own little thing trying to get out there
are network so there is a lot of ripping and running make it little
time to be able to be on the phone or talk to anyone period. You know
what I mean because you got to get it. Right now is the perfect time to
execute everything that you were trying to do no what I mean to
everyone that was on the show.
 
24: When it was getting to the
end of the show, with fewer people still there did you start to feel
confident thinking you really had a chance to win hands down like what
were your thoughts at that point?
 
Creepa: Out of the thousands,
and thousands, and thousands of people that were casted for the show, I
did not even really think that MTV was going to pick me, I thought I
was like too real you know, like I would not even be commercial enough
to be put on the TV. But when I made it from the top 300 to the top 30
to being able to make it in the house, It was just like you lock down
now you doing a bid like who the house man in this bitch (Lol) So once
I got in I was like this is my house now, and this is my show it’s for
me I can’t lose.
 
24: You know we got worried when we saw you had to be sent to the hospital what really happened?
 
Creepa:
On the show, I was not the only nigga that got fucked up on the show
but i guess because they highlighted everything off me they showed me
so fucked up. But out of all the nights on there I only really got
fucked up one time like that and they blasted it so it was a learning
expirence for me, like don’t ever do it any more. But me going to the
hospital was a mixture of a whole lot of shit, you have a microphone on
you 24/7, cameras in your face rolling 24/7, liquor, stress of you
thinking back home, I was thinking about my moms and family and
everything like that. It was just like so much stuff I was like
thinking about even knowing when I’m going to win the show, when I get
home what am I going to do after that, and what’s the next move after
that, then after that so it was like so stressing and thinking about
the obligation that I have to all the real niggaz out here so it was
just stressful. And at the same time I’ve been running all my life so
stress be killing me man and stress 90% of the time is the killer of
black people you know we kill our-self because we are running so much,
running so much sometimes you have to give yourself a break because
your body
has to rest, you just can’t keep running and stress and kill yourself for nothing you know what I mean?
 
24:
Being this your first time on reality T.V, in your own words did MTV
make the show as real as it actually occured or did they edit the film
in ways that were not actually true?
 
Creepa: Everything was
like straight up real but while you were in the house as you saw there
were different characters so you just had to do you being your self, it
was nothing made up or anything like that, you just had people on there
trying to get there fifteen minutes of fame and exposure you know. Is
was real but the whole object of the show was you trying to become a
gentlemen so you know what you signed up for, your trying to make that
change into a gentlemen, some of the people were already gentlemen
before they even came to the show and were just trying to act gangster
and I was a real G and I am still a real G you know what I’m saying and
ain’t shit going to change about that but now also I learned what a
gentlemen is and basically you getting that money. You can still be a G
and be a Gentlemen, you just got the best of both worlds, some people
just made on one side.
 
24: So is Creepa still the “goon” that
walked in on the set of the show or did you really make a change cause
we all know it’s not possible to make a 100% change in the length of
the show?
 
Creepa: Well basically by me going to LA for the show
I’m not the same person because I really did not get to see the world
and what it had to offer, I was just always stuck out here grinding,
grinding in a little box all my life and when you in that little box
you might as well dig a grave and put yourself in it because basically
your dead, you not living until you go out there and see the world. Now
I have gone out and seen the world and the world has seen me and it’s
time to keep shinning.
 
24: So now to the dirty work…since you
have came back and millions of viewrs know that your the winner, there
alot of talk that’s been going around that I’m sure your aware of do
you wish to speak on that or clear any thing up?
 
Creepa:
Basically the bullshit, Man if you know me you know me, if a nigga
hating or someone trying to spray me or put salt in my game they are
going to do that regardless but to all my fans and the real die heart
people in the hood, I mean real people out there where real recognize
real they know what I’m talking about, they know what time it is you
know what I’m saying so when people try to spray salt in the game to
somebody else real they can peep through all that. But you know like
the little rumors going round ….basically when people start talking
bad about you and shit like that they are just trying to get a little
shine off you, publicity wise. You know they say bad publicity good
publicity some people don’t even care, you know and I ain’t going to
give her the fuck nigga no shine and say his or her name because that’s
what they want you know what I’m saying and even give them the
satisfaction of doing that so you know I’m just like work harder and
get on your job bitch, and I’m just going to leave it like that.
 
24:
Back to the show, on the final episode you had a powerful speech, I
feel you but the cat in the bag when you cut your hair what made you do
it?
 
Creepa: Me cutting my hair was showing it was time to grow
up, hair comes and goes. I just had to show I was ready to get on the
business tip. And when you are getting in the business world you have
to be more clean cut and professional type vibe so i basically was
trying to let them know I was ready to grow to become that grown man.
And that is basically why I did it.
 
24: So what was the first thought in your head, once you heard Shotta’s membership had been denied?
 
Creepa:
They really cut my speech because I killed it, I killed and murdered
the speech but they had to keep the suspense up I guess. I talked about
a lot of things but i guess they edit most of it out because I clowned
on it a little bit and showed my swagger and everything that I learned
but when I realized what happen it was a dream like I was living my
dream. But now it’s not a dream because the “dream” is real now but at
the same time it’s still a dream it’s like God is so good. I can’t even
express it. There will still be a struggle but it’s getting a little
easier for me now. Because I can so what my heart desires now like the
music and etc.
 
24: How does it feel to have $100,000?
 
Creepa:
I went there and came back here with the vibe of being a trillionare.
$100,000 is not a lot of money it’s nothing, that ain’t no money its
not money at all. People might look at it and think it is but that’s
petty, your bigger then that you if you think it is then your limiting
yourself you worth more then that. Once you get up in that business
bracket you have to pay taxes so 30% of anything you have to pay taxes
the government is going to get his because Uncle Sam will get his so
after that they take their’s off the top and if they don’t take it
immediately you still have to pay it and if you don’t pay it you will
be in the feds (Lol) and they will still take what you owe them. So
after you pay taxes you just have to make wise investments like a
entreprenuer because that’s what they do make wise decsions and some
times they take gambles but it you have to take chances on things in
order to make a profit so that’s what it’s all about at the end of the
night the profit. Some people get there’s in other ways then others.
 
24:
We see you out here doing your thing, you were out at the station the
other day are you still a artist are you still trying to get signed or
not messing with the music anymore?
 
Creepa: You see I’m coming
through a door no one as ever came through before and I’m trying to
show people is that there is bigger business then just music, football,
because some feel the only way to get up out the hood or a bad
situation is through rapping or sports so I’m trying to shoe people
there is another avenue you can cut and go through to get that money.
Everybody does not have to be a rapper or athlete to make it and I’m
just trying to show that.
 
24: So you still do the music?
 
Creepa:
I’m always doing the music, that’s my heart, I won’t ever stop I’m
going to be doing other things though too. It shows that’s not the only
thing that can make you successful, but I’m going to kill the music
game too (Lol) without a doubt so niggas just lay around is the same
songs but niggas vibing the old shit I did harder now and want to pay
attention now to what I’m saying now because before it was yeah he
aight…hatin` now they like yeah boy that shit tight. I’m like that’s
the same song nigga from months ago and he like it sound different
(Lol) run dat back, run it back and I’m like naw time to snatch the CD
it out cause it sounds like your trying to remember that too hard, but
its all good though I’m going to kill the rap game. But I just want the
urban and younger generation know there are other routes because I’m
obligated to let them know your as big as you want to be and I’m a King.
 
24: Anything else you want to speak on that I did not cover?
 
Creepa:
I’m going to end it off like this, God is good all the time and you can
be doing what your doing but no one is perfect, but he knows your heart
and just try to be the best person you can be day by day and just keep
the faith and keep praying the sky’s the limit beyond the galaxies so
handle that.(Lol)

24: From the outside looking in I’ve spoke to
a lot of people locally who felt that you really represented the crib
in a good way, showing the reflection of what it is to be a young man
in Miami. It feels good and very inspirational to see someone you know
start the baby steps up the hill of success, so remember we’re proud of
you and we’ve been rooting for you all along. So keep doing your thing
and stay positive because this game is not a joke it’s for the thorough
and only the strong will survive, so peace and blessing from me and the
entire 24hourhiphop staff. Respect.
