FakeShoreDrive's Interview with Bump J from Behind Bars


Shoutout to Andrew Barber and everyone who made this possible!

Around the same time you began to bubble, Lupe Fiasco also signed with Atlantic. Do you think it hurt having two new lyrically inclined artists from Chicago trying to come out at the same time on the same label? Twista was also on Atlantic during those years, and you two were beefing. Speaking of Twista, did you know that he recently shouted you out on his new album The Perfect Storm?

I don’t think it hurt at all having two lyrical artists from the crib on the label at the same time because we were in different lanes. I don’t think the thing with me and Twista had anything to do with it either. I know for a fact that my relationship with Atlantic ended because of the problem with them and Free.

Nah, I didn’t know Twista shouted me out on his album, but I’ve been hearing the new songs he’s putting out and I like the one with him and Chris Brown, and the one with Raekwon. But off the subject a little, I just heard some of Sly Polaroid’s new shit and the n**** is going crazy. I think once the world gets a taste of him, he’ll have huge success. He was one of the only n***** that could really motivate me when I was home.
