Rick James is coming, a crew member at a midtown Manhattan studio announces into his walkie-talkie.
No, this isnt a seance.
My videos usually suck, he says.
Redmans videos are usually good, because he takes time.
I dont be with all that costume s, unless were doing a comedy.
Video shoots dont excite me.
Everything else is just so plastic.
Luckily, he got to log plenty of studio time with Redman forBlackout 2.
Its like were connected at the hip, he says.
When we work, theres never any pressure, never any on-the-clock s. Its always fun.
(Click through to the jump for a few select quips.)
Maybe well do another movie, but it wont be calledHow High, for sure.
That s flew by me.
In the meantime, hes been busy working on his solo career.
So what brought him back into the studio with Method Man at last?
S, we needed some money!
Its our fault for not being out for so long, just laziness.
Im not letting it turn off again.
I listen to a lot of old-school s.
On Lil Wayne: That little n-s nasty.
I dont mean as far as emceeing, I mean as an all-around entertainer.
That is an artist, period.
Its like Andy Kaufman: A lot of people didnt get him.
The world was his inside joke, straight-up.
Good job, Ron Moore!
It was complete, and I felt satisfied at the end.
I just need one question answered: Was Starbuck dead all that time?
Was she a Cylon?
What the f?!
On Judd Apatow: I love Judd Apatows stuff, and he knows it.
I actually read forFunny People.RZAgot the part go figure, right?
But theyre cool-ass dudes, man.
Theyre just like frat boys.
I got to read with Seth [Rogen].
I wasnt intimidated by that at all.
Then [Apatow] said, Okay, lets drop the scripts, and you guys just talk.
Ive never done that before!
