How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com 's amazing MySpace Editor GHETTO TWIINZ INTERVIEW: You all grew up in New Orleans' notorious 9th Ward, tell us what that was like for you all? TLT: As kids growing in the ninth ward was easy because our mother had us pretty much under her wing, but when we became teenagers, that???s when it became rough for us. We got into the wrong things to do in life. We were selling drugs on the streets and wound up getting incarcerated. So our life was like hell at one point. MS. GB: It was a learning environment as far as the streets were concern. If anybody wanted to know anything about street life the 9th Ward was definitely a good place to start. Speaking of learning, you two served time was that a wake-up call for you all? TLT: Yes, indeed. I became a mother at sixteen so really that???s when my life really started. But the incarceration time taught me a whole lot of positive things like staying focused on the right things. How did you all get into rap? MS. GB: There were these guys, I forgot the name of their group, but they would always used hang on the corner and just rap. We just love their sound. And they had Salt n??? Pepa out at the time. They showed us that we could do the same thing. And we just got paper and pencils and started rapping. TLT: We???ve been rapping every since elementary school. And in the midst of all of what we went through we were still rapping. In terms of rap who were some of your earliest influences? MS. GB: At the time we were listening to Salt n??? Pepa, RunDMC, the Fat Boys, Queen Latifah and NWA. I heard that that you two were signed to Ruthless Records at one time. Is that true? TLT: Yeah, that???s true. We actually got a deal with Ruthless Records in 88. That was our break from the street life that we were living. We did a track with Dr. Dre. D.O.C. actually wrote the song so we were like in the click. We were down with ???em. That was our first record deal, really. We didn???t drop anything we were just working on tracks and developing as artists. As time past NWA started breaking up. A whole lot of things was going on at ruthless at the time that we never got a chance to put anything out. MS. GB: It became either we work with Eazy or work with Dre. Eazy at the time was being real stubborn and wouldn???t let us work with Dre so we left. What did you all do after that? TLT: After a while we wen t home and started doing gong shows and a lot of thing in New Orleans and that???s when met Precise who was the CEO of Big Boy records. That???s how we got the deal at Big Boy records. After you guys left Big Boy you went to Rap-a-Lot. How did that happened? TLT: Prince. Precise had been talking to J, who had heard about us through Scarface. So after the Big Boy thing fell through Rap-A-Lot was right there. In the midst of all of the things that happened at Big Boy we maintained our friendship with rap-A-Lot and J This is a question that I???ve always wanted to ask you all, you two are identical twins. I mean I really can???t tell the two of you apart. Yet on mic there is a subtle difference in your style. For the benefit of listeners who may not be able to tell you apart, what???s the difference between the two of you style wise? MS GB: We always have tried to be our own individual selves. We knew we couldn???t come out sounding exactly alike because people wouldn???t be able to tell us apart so we developed our own little styles. I???m the rugged one with the hard lyrics and she???s the one with the singing, sorta chanting style. We try to harmonize on a lot of things. Damn, that???s right I forgot yall could sing?????? MS GB: We used to sing in the church choir. TLT used to lead the church choir. I???m not no great singer but I can harmonize with her. Q: The name of your current album is Got It on My Mind, what???s behind that title? TLT: Actually the title came from a song off our fist album Surrounded By Criminals. Got It on My mind can mean a lot of things but the way we use it basically means getting it how you live Owning our own company is a bold step for us, but I feel that if you want control of your life and the things you do then you gotta do things yourself. MS GB: Got it on my mind could mean a whole lot of things. It could mean your education, your money, you can have it on your mind for the lord for whatever. TLT: With this album we took it back to Surrounded by Criminals. We were living in Texas when we wrote the No Pain, No Gain album. We moved back home when we wrote the Got It On My Mind album so we were pretty much back in the situation we were in when we did Surrounded by Criminals, as far as our company and our vibe goes. What do you want your fans to get out of this album? MS GB: When you listen to our songs, we don???t want you to get nothing negative from it. Get something positive from it. When you listen to this album we want you walk away with a positive mind. ..
