Though it can sound unbelievable still lotta people goes like "Who the fuck is LoDeck?". Tell´em the answer.

LoDeck is that mofucka who was there when you went to fuck that drunk chick and while u were tryin to stick it in she just threw up all over you and both of ya went to sleep. I was the one who saw all that shit, smirked, and kept moving....

How a "cold war son" ended up in Brooklyn? I promise i won´t make any corny jokes about radiation in your birthplace.

Shit, Im still buzzin off that trip. But it was so long ago I feel like I been around NY too long too.

And why Hip Hop and not Polka?

Why pussy and not air vents?

What about the rumours about your near future as a pornstar?...just kidding... or not... anyway, if you decide to make a job out of your best hobbie would you be some kind of mix between Paul Holmes, Peter North and De Niro or you would be closer to some Ron Jeremy, Danny de Vito and Ed Wood mix?

I dont respect Peter North. I'd say it would be like a hyperactive Ron Jeremy with a twist of Rob Zombie. Prolly not though.

Dialogue in porn films are like intelligent questions in beauty contests, stupid and unnecessary. Hip Hop should be the oppossite but seems like muscles and silicon are more important than dope lyricists. Could David Hasselhoff be the next Hip Hop star?

David Hasselhoff can be the star of anything he wants. He is the 'older pimp, break em in yourself and pass em to daddy' kinda mofucka.

Changing the topic, why can´t I find your lyrics on the net, nobody understand you or just nobody cares?

I dont know. I guess at first I didn't care. Now it's hundreds of tracks deep so I gotta be sayin something riight?

I just can say that "Dream Dentistry" is a dope lp, it´s able to change my mood in a fucked up day. It´s that enough for you as an artist or you don´t give a fuck my opinion as far as you got money, bitches and booze?

I can agree with you especially if Dream Dentistry got you some money and bitches, you better share, I'll chip in on the booze.

I´ve seen a french and a spanish review of your album (spanish is mine, of course). Did you expected getting that far and well-accepted (yes, the french review is also good) ?

I did expect intelligent life out there yea. Thank the powers above.

What´s the next step? Another solo album, back to Atoms Family lps, blow up with some Avril Lavigne collaboration or just chill at Hugh Heffner´s house with two "bunnies" feeding you grapes and Möet?

Solo for sure. Bunnies are welcome. Moet aint shit, drink Stoly. Avril Lavigne sounds like a classy woman. Excellent.

You gotta realize it´s hard for us to understand all your songs, what did they talk about, saving the whales, saving the world and saving the children or just fucking the children while the world gets fucked up saving the whales?

Well different track is about a different thing. I have so many rhymes I dont think IM too....yea that line.

Anyway, what would be a perfect day in Lodecks life?

I have no interest in perfection.

And the perfect lp ?

See above.

I was about to ask you about the perfect mc but I guess you were gonna say Aesop, am I right?

Wrong. He does rhyme good. I've seen too many sick MCs to really say something definite. That question is pretty silly actually.

What´s the cause of that devotion, just musical or should we go further and dirtier?

It's a valid exchange of energy. A trade. Something I enjoy doin while productively observing the enjoyment/hate/confusion of others.

Some short questions: Freestyle or fee-style?

Freestyle sucka

Battle or bottle?

Bottle.

Bukowski or Shakespeare?

Bulgakov

Anticon or Def Jux?

ARE YOU KIDDIN ME??? HAHAHA

East or West?

West

I´ve read you got some kinda hate for West coast rap, any particular cause?

I have no idea

I wanna start no beef, so back to the short question. Best lp ever?

Aint made yet.

What´s pumping in your Hi-Fi right now?

Ebineeza's beats, Jak Progresso, Blockhead's beats, Ms. Kitty, j23 top secret shit.

And ten years ago?

1993??? SNOOP DOGG!!!!!!!

What album would you have liked to make?

I thought Illmatic but nahhhhhhhhh. Diary of a Madman but nahhhhhhhhh.... Funcrusher but nahhhhhhhhhhhh....Dream Dentistry. Shit, I made that...

And which one you would have despited?

I dont know. I wouldnt like it if I was somehow involved in the making of Dirk Diggler's pop album. That shit flopped.

One film, one book and one word to describe Lodecks mind.

LOOK!!!

Last week I was at Non Phixion´s show in Madrid, last spring it was the Def Jux tour, Sage Francis and some Anticon member. Do I need to show you in a map where Spain is or you got it in mind for the future?

I need to travel I know I know!! I would love for promoters to get at me. johnny23.com anytime!

We are about to finish, this is your chance to diss the interviewer, no censorship.

Nah. It was a very coherent interview. Challenged all my basic senses including smell and it was very well put.

I hope it wasnt too boring, any shout-outs or last wishes?

I wanna shout out Vanilla Ice for rockin out in Bensonhurst and showing me that time warps are not a space mystery. Thank you. Peace to Boody and everyone down with jOHNNY23.

Thank you very much Lodeck for your time and for that great, great Lp. You´ll be in the top of my list, it´s not the billboard but... thanks anyway. Peace!!!

PEACE, The next joint is called "Bensonhurst Boris" hope I don't lose yall with the......
