illRoots.com: Who gives a fuck about Phil Nash?
Phil: My mom.
illRoots.com: Ahhh, spectacular. How did you get the name Phil Nash?
Phil: Phil is my real name, but the Nash part is something I took from the movie A Beautiful Mind, "John Nash."
illRoots.com: So the first tape you bought was...
Phil: MC Hammer's "2 Legit to Quit." Cousins used to make fun of me cuz they listened to Spice 1 and NWA. I'm a young buck man.
illRoots.com: Wow, MC Hammer, you had the pants too.... you had the pants didn't you...
Phil: No, but I wanted the action figure bad as hell!
illRoots.com: You breakdancing, backflipping, motorboating son of a bitch you. You know you don't have to lie, I know you had the pants.
Phil: [Laughs] And I used to watch the cartoon.
illRoots.com: Word.
Phil: [Laughs]
illRoots.com: The cartoon was the greatest.
Phil: I know.
illRoots.com: But Phil one song to sum up your whole life?
Phil: "Closer." It's produced by DJ Jazzy Jeff.
illRoots.com: Not a song you've written, thats cheating.
Phil: Oh, the whole Slim Shady LP. I can't choose one song, but I feel the closest to that album, don't ask why. Eminem created a twisted world and allowed you to live and see what this world was. I saw that world because in a lot of ways I'm from that same kind of place.
illRoots.com: In a time when CD sales are down, what are you going to do to really market your product?
Phil: My relationship with my audience is more personal than most. I'm a showman. I don't rap, I perform. People will support me by coming out and enjoying me as an emcee. Also the internet, My audience spends more than half of their lives online I plan on having a strong online presence.Starting with illroots.
illRoots.com: Okay your views on Shawn Bell and our entire society as a whole?
Phil: Thats just another W for the suits. Our society really doesn't even talk about it. The only reason I know about Shawn Bell is because of the internet. I have not had one in person conversation talk about Shawn Bell and thats bad.Well .... maybe once i did. My peers are too focused on "getting money" to worry about lil' ole Shawn bell. Our generation won't stand up for our generation. Our motto is,"Better him than me"
illRoots.com: You know thats the truest statement I've heard Thats our motto as a people nowadays I hear more about older people putting together organizations and things. But to lighten this up a bit like Larry King to Mtv Jams
Phil: ???
illRoots.com: Explanation - Larry King = serious. MTV Jams is a joke.
Phil: He's on there?
illRoots.com: No. Follow me
Phil: Ok
illRoots.com: Larry King is SERIOUS as fuck, right?
Phil: Yea
illRoots.com: MTV Jams and the constant barrage of futuristic yet overly pathetic bullshit that we somehow call creative new hip hop is a joke.
Phil: I have no problem with this fast food hip-hop.
illRoots.com: I don't either.
Phil: You just can't eat McDonald's everyday, ya dig?
illRoots.com: True. It makes us shine alot bigger I guess.
Phil: True it's a time and place for it though.
illRoots.com: It actually gives us balance, 08 is the golden era, the beginning
Phil: Phil of the Future!!!!!!!
Hearbeart: Whats up?
Phil: Yo
illRoots.com: So Bryant has joined the chat welcome to the interview. [Laughs]
Heartbeat : [Laughs] Bet. What's good ?
illRoots.com: So Heartbeat you worked with Phil on this new project and have been working with Phil on several projects explain to us the difference between phil and everyone else?
Heartbeat: Talent
Phil: Wow
Heartbeat: Thats the one thing he has that everyone else lacks that and ambition. You should have seen him at the Lupe concert....getting his name out but thats a different story. [Laughs]
Phil: That is another story.
illRoots.com: Whoa.
Heartbeat: [Laughs]
illRoots.com: Whole can of worms just opened do tell I'm all ears
Phil: nothing serious
illRoots.com: [Laughs] It was just a story making connects by any means necessary.
Phil: I was supposed to open up for lupe, but it was revoked
illRoots.com: Revoked? Wow.
Heartbeat: Yea I'm still a little bitter about that one
illRoots.com: I mean there has to be a reason for everything
Phil: University of Delaware. Took it because 2 hiphop acts opening for Musiq SoulChild was too raw, for the venue
illRoots.com: What.
Phil: But they should've going with me.
illRoots.com: Wow thats a cop out
Heartbeat: the opening act was a lil lacking but im not to judge tho.
Phil: They were good. I think the pressure got to the. I perform better under pressure.
illRoots.com: Okay that was boring ass story. No seriously
Phil: [Laugh]
illRoots.com: Quite possibly. The most boring story I've heard in the last 2 days
Heartbeat: [Laughs]
illRoots.com: Okay fellas. I have a story for you
Heartbeat: Hey man thats my life [Laughs]
illRoots.com: So I was on my way to the bathroom and I sat down and wow. What do you say, no TP.So I run downstairs , grab the TP and run back upstairs and take a shit, wow...craziness.
Heartbeat: Too Much Information.[Laughs]
Phil: [Laughs]
illRoots.com: [Laughs] I am posting all of this, every last nugget ....of information
Phil: Nugget....[Laughs]

Phil: [Laughs]
