Phat Kat was interviewed by Omar Burgess for AllHipHop.
Highlights of the interview include:
Phat Kat on the Dilla bandwagon:
It’s funny to me man…[laughing] it’s comedy to me. Everybody wanna jump on the bandwagon saying, “Dilla was this and Dilla was that.” My whole thing is, why motherf**kers didn’t say that when he was here? I’m quite sure he would’ve loved to hear it.
Phat Kat on touring overseas:
Oh my goodness, man. It’s a totally different world over there. A mainstream only artist wouldn’t have a chance over there because people in Europe are more into the music than we are. It’s so watered down and fabricated to the point that motherf**kers don’t even know what’s real anymore. In Europe, it’s like the golden era. Cats like myself can go over there and eat, live good and still make a lot of money making the music that we wanna make. The fan base over there has open arms for the music that I make.
Phat Kat on Detroit:
That’s crazy because a lot of people do think about 8 Mile when they think of Detroit. If you come to Detroit you’ll see that Eight Mile [Road] is the borderline that separates Detroit from the suburbs. It’s a bit wild, and people don’t talk about it as sunny, but Detroit is a Black city. A lot of people wouldn’t know that. All they know about is the crime and the violence, but we’ve got a real strong musical culture here that goes all the way back to Motown. There’s still real soul music that’s being made here and I’m just glad to be a part of that.
