excerpted from an interview with Pimpin’, producer and member of Dem Franchize Boyz
Pimpin : Well really you know what I’m saying, when we first got started it all began at college. Me Buddy and Parley we went to college [together]. We was just doing this shit for fun you know what saying. Like after class or just cutting class and just go make a song. We just used to make songs just for the hell of it. So we had like a hundred songs, so everybody came back to Atlanta. We had did “White Tee” but at the same time we had like a hundred songs. And the computer broke down and that’s what led us to start selling our records cause we ain’t sell our records we [would] just make songs just to have em right? But after the computer broke down all the little songs we had we just put em on CD and gottdamn started selling em tryna start up lil fund-raiser for a computer. We need a new computer so we can do it again. So after we got done doing that, we had the hit “White Tee” on there so… shit we just start doing it.

This is so good.
I want to know what kind of computer (I’m assuming a Dell) that they had that broke. I would also love to see a Guitar World-style gear spread about said computer, and hear the call to tech support that they made tryin to save all they fresh songs.
Also they are into the quick sloppy style:
Buddy : “White Tee” wasn’t a song we was just banking on, know what I’m talking bout? We wasn’t even depending on White Tee. White Tee was a-I’mma say a hour process. That’s give and take, I’mma say a hour cause it’s like me and Pimpin was in the studio working on another song and I seen it in Pimps verse. So when Parlae popped up in the studio we all put our heads together. I told Parlay, ‘woop, woop, do this, do that’ and he said, ‘woop woop, I’m feeling that’ and it was a history.
