TSS: That makes sense. Can you give me a sample of the hottest 16 from your album?

Miss Tila: A what?

TSS: The hottest 16. A sample of the hottest 16.

Miss Tila: The hottest 16? From my album? [15 second pause] You want me to play it for you?

TSS: No, just a 16. The hottest 16. Just a few lines and why it’s particular telling about your album.

Miss Tila: Not “I Fucked the DJ” but another song?

TSS: Anything you’d like.

Listen — Tila’s Hot 16

TSS: So…what made that a hot 16?

Miss Tila: Well that wasn’t a hot 16. I’m on NyQuil® still.

TSS: So, why was that a good 16 from the album?

Miss Tila: Well, the album has a lot of double entendres. And I take a few stabs at people. But you gotta be listening to it to know what I’m talking about. There’s a couple that I take stabs at people. When you hear it, you’ll know who I’m talking about.

TSS: You mention Gang Starr as one of your favorite groups. What do you feel about the whole Guru situation?

Miss Tila: People need to think before they do stupid shit like that. People got kids and a family now. It’s not like when Pac and Big were beefing. It’s not like that anymore. People don’t need to be acting crazy. I don’t know. I think it’s really dumb.

TSS: What specifically was dumb?

Miss Tila: What?

TSS: What do you mean by acting crazy with the Guru and Gang Starr thing?

Miss Tila: What are you talking about?

TSS: I was talking about the whole Guru situation with Gang Starr. Because, you know, he passed a couple of days ago. What did you feel about that?

Miss Tila: …Oh. I’ve been sleeping the last two days. What day is it today?

TSS: It’s Friday. That’s ok. We can move on. How about I just ask a few either/or questions and let you answer which one you think is better? Do you want to go with that?

Miss Tila: Mm-hmm.

TSS: Lil Wayne or Nicki Minaj?

Miss Tila: You want me to say which one I like better?

TSS: Yes.

Miss Tila: Lil’ Wayne.

TSS: Better reality star musician, Ray J or Flavor Flav?

Miss Tila: Hello?

TSS: Hello.

Miss Tila: Hello?

TSS: Hello.

Miss Tila: Hello? Helloooo?

TSS: I’m here.
