  • Freddy Foxx also known as Bumpy Knuckles sat down with VladTV to talk about his reasoning for leaving MCA, how his relationship was with Shakim and Queen Latifah was after leaving Flavor Unit, and opens up about his ultimate disdain for music executive Steve Stoute.
    Like so many artists, leaving on amicable terms is very rare, and in Bumpy's case, he tells us that issues with his A&R and the MCA shelving his record were the initial cause of his departure. "I was eager to get to work. I wanted to do promo. I wanted to do all kinds of stuff." He said, "Everything happened from them stealing marketing budgets and pocketing the money to stupid s***."
    In 1993, Bumpy teamed up with Treach to jump on "Hot Potato" on NaughtByNature's 19 Naughty III album and from there he says Shakim heard it and wanted to give him a deal with Flavor Unit, which was under Epic. Unfortunately, the rapper says that he wanted to maintain a Boom Bap sound still and teamed up with Diggin' in the Crates to master that sound, which didn't sit well with members of Flavor Unit who wanted another sound for the album. In turn, Bumpy says he has to reproduce the album resulting in two projects which were later shelved after issues between the Unit and Epic records. Unhappy with the outcome and the lack of communication, he says he departed from the clique with resentment. Since then, Bumpy says he's made amends with Shakim and seen Queen Latifah at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors recently, and he's gotten over the drama.
    As the conversation continued, he opens up about releasing his diss record "Industry Shake Down" and explains why he slammed Red Alert, Slyvia Rhone, and who he calls a "slimy a** dude." Check out the interview to know why.

      @@SlimLighty Nah brotha, my comment is 3 years old and believe me that at that time this is the only interview I saw that featured him. He didn't get mentioned with all the greats regardless of him being a dope lyricist, honest emcee, and a top-notch artist. Now it's even a lot more visual in 2020. You might not agree with me but it's clearly obvious.

    Nice interview with music rapper Freddie Foxxx. Record companies did Freddie dirty by not releasing his albums. I know why Freddie dissed record companies on Industry Shakedown song. Record companies are always not releasing music rappers albums. That's why music rappers stopped making albums like The Cru, Keith Murray, Smoothe Da Hustler, Trigger Tha Gambler, Foxy Brown, Lady Luck, Rah Digga, Heather B, Jeru The Damaja, Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz, Lady Of Rage, Artifacts, Das EFX, O.G.C., Smif and Wessun, Heltah Skeltah, Jamal of ILLegal, Boss.

I've not yet seen or met this legend, but I respect him and his entire ethos to the fuckin fullest - he's still the realest dude, keeping in true hip hop 1000% and I will always bump his shit, especially Crazy Like A Fox (1994). Wish I'd been old enough to see him and Tupac performing together in the early 90s :(

    Wow, so that really does happen- stealing budgets and whatnot. Mya said the same thing. Young aspiring artists need this kind of knowledge so that they don't get their hopes up. This ain't no lil' McDonald's check (not knocking fast food because I eat it sometimes), this is hundreds of thousands to potential millions of dollars. I couldn't fathom seeing somebody play around with that kinda money. And then you go to ask questions and get told some dumb ass lies. On the other hand, if you're on their label then they call the shots. If they want such and such record and you can't deliver, well you gon have to bounce. A tricky business. I don't know how some of y'all maintain.....
