Check out this great Q&A featuring singer-songwriter Terius "The Dream" Nash. Check out some excerpts below:
Did Jay talk to you before taking your line for his song, “No Hook”?
We were listening to his album and he was like “I got a surprise for you on this next record” and played it. People were calling me like “What you going to do? Get a percentage?” At the end of the day, it’s not business, it’s music. That’s flattering. That’s m*th*rf*ck*ng Jay-Z! If it was anybody else, my attorneys would be sitting in front of their yard with a bag like, “Put all the money in here, we gonna meet Dream at Gucci.”
When you came out for the VIBE Yardfest in Atlanta this past October singing “Umbrella,” you got boo’d. Why do you think that happened?
At the end of the day, it’s not about whether somebody’s hot or not. This is the coincidental point in why music is exactly where it is and that’s actually pitiful. I hadn’t been promoted like, “This guy did this particular thing, that’s why he’s singing it.” So they gonna be like, “What the f*ck is this n*gg* doing singing it?” This is a black thing. Anything that’s fearful, or we don’t seemingly like, or fits into exactly what we gonna know, we don’t accept it. So when you send an R&B artist to do a hip-hop show, you should expect that. It didn’t really mean anything to me. I can care less [that] I get boo’d once out of a hundred [times], which is exactly what that was. Of course when I did “Shawty Is Da Sh*!(10),” they were like “Okay. Cool.”
