**points microphone in his face**
Rapper: What’s up, it’s ya boy Hustle Crowe, fresh off the streets of Baltimore aka Bodymore!
Nardwuar: Hustle Crowe, welcome to Vancouver, British Columbia.
Rapper: Appreciate that homie.
Nardwuar: So, Hustle Crowe, tell us about your music.
Rapper: Well, I’m a street nikka first and foremost. Slangin, shootouts, had broads on the strip, all that.
I was never no musical type of dude, but, about a year ago, I started rhyming for fun and my peoples encouraged me to do it cuz they said I’m gonna end up dead if I keep trying to get this street money. So I dropped a mixtape and we just started killin the streets, feel me?
Nardwuar: Tell us about your father.
Rapper: Well, uh, pops was, uh, you know he —
Nardwuar: He was a concert pianist and a producer for Frank Zappa!
Rapper:
Yooooo! How’d you know that? That’s crazy, fam! Damn, you gotta be with the FBI or something (laughs) Yeah, man pops was crazy.
Nardwuar: Well, Hustle, I have something for you here.
** Nardwuar pulls out Xeroxed poster**
Nardwuar: It’s a talent show poster that you were in back at Institut Le Rosey, a boarding school in Switzerland.
Rapper: Wow! Damn, you crazy, man, you — you really did your research.
Yeah, I went to boarding school cuz my parents didn’t want me to end up dying in the hood, feel me? And, you know I had to holla at them Swiss hoes out there 
Nardwuar: And in that talent show, you and three friends did a cover of Coldplay's "Fix You”
Rapper: Damn, Nard, you crazy as hell! You just, uh, you --you--you just be doin ya research don't you?
Yeah, you know, just wylin’ trying to, uh, do what we had to do, feel me? That’s part of being a hustler, you know? Knowing your environment and just, uh, just doing what it takes to survive, feel me?
Nardwuar: Speaking of survival, I found some old photos —
Rapper: Yo, not to cut you off but I gotta bounce, soon fam.
Nardwuar: But, wait, tell us the significance of this!

that's crazy man! Since we're on the subject tells up about your relationship with Jay
I think it was Christmas Eve a few years ago when he dialed my number on accident. We chopped it up (lie) but you know Jays a busy dude.
, yeah me and P been locked in the lab for days just churning out music. Its crazy because dude is so talented. And we got this chemistry thats unbelievable. 
. You just gonna have to wait and see. But I promise you, the world aint ready for this. All you rap nikkas, just take a break for a few months. 
. Shoutout to the DJ's man. Yall gonna have yall hands full with this one...."
, you know how Philanthropist P is....Dude be over in Japan one night, then Cannes the next....followed by Germany the following few days, so its hard to reach him. Doing Scores for big movies, opening boutiques, at fashion shows all that. Im over here in these streets, doing shows, opening restaurants, all that..... I mean...We could email , but I like that Organic feeling, nah mean? 
. We need to be IN the studio together making it work, so it feels more natural. You know, that feeling that you got when you heard Snoop & Dre, Big & Puff, and all the other greats. Where it was natural. Thats how it gotta get done. 
"
, oh that was one of them nights I was passing through and shyt. He was just programming his drums, and some groupie bytch probably took the picture and put that shyt up, and the world was so excited, they aint know what to do! 
"
, I was hacked breh."
So, the fact that god has blessed me to even put out an album of quality is a win. And as far as numbers go, people don't understand that I was under shipped and because I had coke spelling out my album title on the cover, they couldn't stock it in Wal Mart. And that's just, I mean ... I don't care how good you are or how many potential hits you got, but that just kills first week sales. But, the thing is, most people don't know that the music business aint like the movie business where you do your biggest numbers first week in order to be a hit. I'm smart about my shyt. Look at what Katy Perry and Rihanna do first week, you know? They don't do them big numbers, but they release hit after hit after hit and by the end of the year -- BAM! Triple platinum album! So, that's what I'm on. Just wait till that second single come out, though. It's called, "The Notebook" and it's a joint for the ladies, you know I couldn't forget about yall. It's got Erica Mena on the hook and she gonna surprise a lot of people. You heard it here first.
