HHDX: Speaking of lyrics and lyricists, are you offended when somebody says you aren�t a lyricist?
Yung Joc: I don�t care because I�m not. I�m not a lyricist; I never claimed to be one. I leave that up to the Nas�, the Jiggas�, the Talib Kwelis� and the KRS-Ones�. I make club music, music you could dance to. I make feel good music. There are times when I hear a Jay-Z lyric and I�m like �Damn, that�s crazy.� But, if you�re in the club sometimes you don�t wanna think about what the rapper is saying. You just wanna have fun. I mean even Diddy, Diddy ain�t no lyrical dude and he�s real well off.

HHDX: So you were doing well financially from the start. You had the Block money and the Bad Boy money?
Yung Joc: Well I had a percentage of the Block money and then whatever money I got from the deal with Bad Boy. I�m doing well overall. A lot of artists wanna talk about certain things but like me, I just got listed in Forbes as one of the Top 20 highest paid rappers for the year. I just did that interview today and it�ll be in that publication soon.
