set! Some of the directors kept it
in but so many people were pissed
off. Like who the hell does that?
So I just started snapping on him
and bodying the DJ on the set.
Like everybody was all happy then
I did that (lol). Then the guy
came down and was like “I didn’t
mean to play whack beats, those
were the beats that we were given”.
Then I ended up apologizing to
the whole crowd because I just
ripped the DJ’s head off so bad
he was embarrassed, it was a
“Dizaster”.
Novie Blendz: So you went
from Grind Time, to battling
Cannibus, how do you feel that
you have grown as a rapper/
battler?
Dizaster: I’ve grown so much, in
battling and in real life. I ‘m older
now and I’m not a kid anymore.
As I look back on all the things
I’ve did I realized they weren’t
always the best decisions, I’ve truly
matured and in my upcoming
battle vs. Pat Stay maybe the
topics that I come at him with,
people will see my growth. They
will realize that I’m not all over
the place anymore. I am way
more focused now, and life is a
lot more serious now. Every move
that I make has to be calculated
and it has to count. So yes, in that
aspect I have grown a lot. More of
a think before you speak type of
situation.
Novie Blendz: That’s a good
answer. So You’re a part of
“Krack City”, how did that get
started?
Dizaster: Krack City was basically
like the manifestation of a
squad, in a really seriously street
gangster environment. Where
we formed our shit, it was a real
thug environment but they were
really good people. Everyone met
up in a neutral location in LA,
like every Blood, Crypt, Grape
Street, and even the Essays met
up at this place we called “The
Pit”. At that time it was the only
outlet for street battlers to come
through and spit. Basically they
started giving all these battles
out, and It was a bunch a dudes
from Watts came together and I
showed up there before Daylyt,
AV, Aktive and all of them and
it was just like some 8mile shit. I
was way younger then , and I was
just really getting into that type of
street battling. I mean before “The
Pit” I was battling on the street
corners and stuff, but that was
like my 1st time in a truly street
battle environment. Like I had
never been in a straight up hood
setting where there were just so
many gang bangers. Some of them
that were there didn’t even care
about rap, they were on some “Aye
Cuh I’m here to see Cuh get killed
right here and if he Don’t Imma
fuck em up after The battle”(lol).
Like that type of stuff, but I show
up over there trying to sign up
for the battles, and there were
three big ass guys standing there.
I was like “I’m here to sign up for
the battles”, and one of the guys
was like “NAH”. Then I am like
“Watchu Mean, aint this for the
battling? I’m here for the battles,
I am a battler”. Then he looks
at me and says “You Here For
The Battling? Nah it aint gonna
work for You”. So then finally
after going back and forth I sign
up and The guy was like” Okay
Sign your name up but you gonna
get Killed in there”. Now mind
you, these are the people letting
you in telling you this, imagine
what the battlers are going to tell
you. Anyways, I went in there
on some crazy the whole world
is against me type of thing, and
tore the whole place a part in my
first battle, as soon as I opened up
my mouth, the whole crowd went
crazy. The 1st dude I battled was
from Watts or Inglewood I think,
and he said “Watts Up” and the
whole place went crazy and I was
there by myself. So I was really
nervous, and what trips me out so
much about the movie “8 mile”
was that it was so accurate. Like I
was really feeling like that “Knees
weak, Arms are heavy…Vomit
on his sweater “. Now No I DID
NOT throw up (lol), but that
whole heavy and nervous feeling is
accurate. So after I got up on that
stage I demolished the dude, and
earned everybody’s respect. Then I
became, the dude that everybody
gave a pass too, they were like
“Oh Nah he’s cool, He’s The white
kid” (lol). For like the longest
time they all thought I was white,
Then eventually it just became
cool to be on my side and I had
that respect to where I bodied
the most gangster dude there and
his homies would tell him he
got killed by me. They wouldn’t
even let people get crazy with me
anymore because they knew I was
killing it, and it became okay to
be on my side. It’s crazy because
at that time if I would’ve been
black they would’ve been hating
