AllHipHop.com has a
great interview with Buckwild where he talks about "I Got a Story to Tell" (Biggie track that he produced), praises Diddy's production talents and clears the air about the supposed lawsuit against Diddy about production royalties:
AllHipHop.com: What about �I Gotta Story to Tell� by Notorious B.I.G off of Life After Death?
Buckwild: Biggie had three beats to choose from. One of them was one that The Lox wanted also. That record ended up having sample clearance issues, and never came out. Then I come to find out that he chose the one to �I Got a Story to Tell.� Biggie was a dude that thinks about his lyrics first, no matter what. With the concept and everything he was like, �Cool, I could rock with that.� ...
AllHipHop.com: I want to build on that and ask you about your opinion of Puffy. What do you think about him as a producer?
Buckwild: PD, Mister Producer extrodinaire. He showed me and a lot of other dudes what a producer really is. He showed the part of production that most dudes never really knew, like, when you�re coming in and not even touching the drum machine. You�re shooting ideas like, �Yo, this needs to be like this,� and �No, you gotta do this like this.� He showed that part of production that dudes never really knew: You thought just because you made beats, you�re the producer? You�re not.
AllHipHop.com: It came out in the news recently that you and several other artists and producers have a lawsuit against him for royalties owed.
Buckwild: Alright. Let�s set this straight: There�s no lawsuit that�s out against Puff.
AllHipHop.com: Okay, what is it?
Buckwild: The only things that�s going on is that dudes haven�t been paid on a few albums. So, Warner Brothers is getting their books updated so everyone can get paid. I think what probably happened was, in the time that he left Arista, a lot of people weren�t getting their statements from that point on. [For me], it�s my part of Life After Death, part of Life Story and any albums that came out after that. It�s residuals. It�s just a matter of Warner Brothers getting everything updated so everyone can get paid what they�re supposed to. Knowing Warner Brothers, it should be finished in the next few months.
