Dude got a good business sense & unlike alotta artists who do you can read his interviews & get some advice & incite on da inner working of da music business. Most niggaz just use interviews to create controversy, promote, or just talk shit. Dude seems like he cool folks.

This cat is real talk to houston, man spaceshiped to europe and look at what it done for im. Im glad he rolled away from the cash money issue with his head right. His side of the kiss kiss with baby an wayne proves the truth. TQ is his own look out, if you ave that talent it all depends on your own smarts or those who manage you. We've all been a witness to the likes of cash money , death row an bad boy, get trampled on unless you were already at the front seeing whats comin next. BIG UPS TQ!!!

I like reading this guys words, he's on point with his game, he not on some fake Convict Music (Akon) type shit, or that Rick Exposed Ross.
Much success in your hard work TQ, and hopefully I wont be eating my words if pictures of Baby, Wayne and TQ in a triple kiss headlock, playing naked twister, drenched in baby oil while eating funyons come out.

Do yo thang TQ, get yo money. us US people is too critical and as country we act like we 2 broke 2 support folks, but i bet niggas hav that new Madden 2009 or them new J's ($200). We support pretenders like LIL Wayne, rick ross, plies, game, young buck, young berg, g-unit, Ti. im startin 2 fuck w/ underground or non-main stream niggas like TQ, Skillz, Planet Asia, Talib, eMC, sha stimuli, royce, krs-1, redman, ghostface, u get my drift. im tired of these movie characters actors in da main stream. wen did gimmick rappers come back in style (ex. Fu-Snikens, Milli Vanilli, Vanilla ice)

Sex, Controversy, Negative press....all equals big dollars, in the US, and across the pond. Paris Hilton, Brittney Spears, Amy Crackhouse....all continously in the publics eye thanks to the media and negative press, it sells magazines, gets websites more hits, keeps you talking.
TQ was being him on stage, doing nothing more than what he represents, he wasnt on stage tyring to a blood with tattoo tear drops, or with his belly hanging all out talking about how he knows Noriega, the real Noriega, or tossing white kids off stage into a crowd, dude was being him. So I dont think thats selling out, thats REAL staying REAL....and making a paycheck, from the sounds of his previous stories, CMB was going to have him become a studio gangsta and not get paid, so I say we should be happy for this cat.

On the West TQ is a certified Artist who gets respect all over Killa Cali...It's good when a brotha gives insight on how to handle your business in a fu*cked up industry..for those who say that the dude with the suites wanted him to be more thug are just plain ignorant. He initially thought it was coo to go out and perform as he had in the past. So when the crowd wasn't feeling it he thought maybe he should tone it down a little. But the VP's wanted him to stay true to himself and keep doing what he was doing...Much love TQ...keep doin you and keep West homie...

This was a good read. I was wondering what happened to him. Independent labels are definitely becoming more profitable. I've noticed that a lot of once major label artists, have moved to independent labels such as Tweet, Deborah Cox, and Tamia. International dollars are the way to go also. The economy is killing the value of a dollar here in the U.S.
