Knoc-Turn’al is back on a Chronic Vacation for a special 4/20 edition of “Answers,” where he and staff writer Justin “Lunatic” Melo get your questions answered directly.
ANSWERS…FROM THE BOOK OF KNOC
Every Monday, right here on ChronicVacation.com and Raptalk.net, Knoc-Turn’Al will be picking out and answering five questions submitted by fans and Chronic Vacation readers to Lunatic [SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS HERE.] We present the 10th installment right now and urge fans to continue submitting questions as it is never too late and this series will be long-running! Let’s get started!
ChronicVacation.com: Booz wants to know, “how would you describe yourself in real life?”
Knoc-Turn’Al: As a real motherfucker. And Thank you Booz, you’re a real motherfucker for asking me that (laughs). And I’m a family man indeed.
ChronicVacation.com: Dubsmith_AZ asks, “what’s your favorite track that you worked on that nobody got to hear? Why didn’t we get to hear it?”
Knoc-Turn’Al: I think it was a track called “Gangsta Mack” that I did with Dr. Dre. It was supposed to be for the Chronic 2001 album. The reason why it was never heard was because [Dr.] Dre changed his engineer at the time and they had some dispute about whatever, and then my album had a release date so we couldn’t get it out.
ChronicVacation.com: That’s pretty dope right there. BloodMoney2009 says, “Who are your favorite up and coming artists from the West? Which of them would you work with?
Knoc-Turn’Al: I would say up and coming artists from the west…maybe Noah Jones, Glasses Malone, Knawledg, Jaguar, Ripacut, J-Beam (laughs).
ChronicVacation.com: The MathMadix baby!
Knoc-Turn’Al: (starts singing) MathMadix in the house and the bitch won’t go!
ChronicVacation.com: That’s the business! Kurupt4Life wants to know, “You did a recent track with Crooked I titled 3 Bitches. I was quite angry that you didn’t lay a verse on it. Any chance you’ll be working with Crooked I again, and this time will we hear a Knoc-Turn’Al verse?
Knoc-Turn’Al: You can ask Crooked I about being angry about me not having a verse. I didn’t have a verse because that’s how Crooked I wanted the structure of his song to be. That was him, for his project. He needed a hook for me and he had the rest. Of course I’ll be working with him again, that’s my label-mate. At the same time, that was his song. It wasn’t for my album. I just did what the man needed me to do.
ChronicVacation.com: Matty wants to know, “Do you have any upcoming guest spots on any albums?”
Knoc-Turn’Al: There’s a few people that I’ve done some things with but you know, it’s all about…people don’t understand it’s about politics and what people want to put on their album. I don’t have time to go back and forth. Either they wanna’ do it or they don’t. I can do all the music in the world, but if they come with some shady paperwork or something, then I’ll just be like ok, forget it.
Enjoy and stay tuned to Next Monday for another edition in “Answers from the Book of Knoc.”
