MTV: There's a rumor that you're putting together a male supergroup with Ginuwine and Usher.
Sisqó: I was talking about an idea that was kicking around a couple years ago about a supergroup with myself, Ginuwine, Tyrese and Usher. Ginuwine was into it, Tyrese was into it, but we never really came together with Usher. So, for whatever reason, I'm just going to have to shut them down. I'm sorry, I would have made the money with y'all, but now I'm going to have to take it all.
I have a lot of respect for Usher and his talent. I think he can sing. I think he can dance. But as of right now no one is messing with me musically. I'm not winning any awards when it comes to [sales] stats because I don't have no drama. Maybe I need some drama. I need to pick a fight with someone. Who wants to fight onstage?
MTV: Is there a beef with Chauncey from Blackstreet [who dissed Sisqó on the song "Shame On You"]?
Sisqó:
I'm just going to leave that alone because I'm not trying to have something ill happen. I'm a positive role model, and I'll fight you on the record, because I got little kids looking at me. I don't want my little cousins [to] have to see me punch somebody in the mouth, so I'm not even going to go there.
Let's just say that what Chauncey did was ungentlemanly. I approached him on it, and at the time I approached him there was all these kids in front of the radio station. I was like, "We're two black men about to get into a scuffle for whatever reason, and all these kids are outside." Please don't test me, because I did go to boxing class three times a week. I know you don't want to unleash the dragon. I talk a lot of sh--, so I have to be physically fit. Just know I wouldn't talk this much sh-- if I couldn't back it up.
MTV: Your style has a certain edge.
Sisqó: I'm from Def Jam, dog, and we're always beefing. But at the end of the day, I'm still on the hip-hop label, and I hang with hip-hop cats. I hang with DMX, Redman. I don't even fit in the R&B category. You
know, when you're a kid you don't want be an R&B dude, you want to be a hip-hop guy. You'll never hear me try to rap, but I have the aggression of a hip-hop artist and the soulful singing ability of an R&B crooner.
MTV: What about the next Dru Hill album?
Sisqó: I don't know.
All I can say is myself, Jazz, Nokio and Woody are still really good friends. We're like brothers. If I call Jazz at three in the morning, he's still there to talk. Same with Nokio and Woody. As of right now there is a new Dru Hill song on my album. But as far as a new Dru album, I don't know. I'm still waiting for the new Jodeci album and I don't want to have the Dru Hill fans waiting like I'm waiting for Jodeci, so I don't even want to put it out there.
MTV: What's your role like in the movie you're filming now, "Winterdance"?
Sisqó: I know about the movie, but then I don't know about the movie. I pretty much just read my part. I'm in the beginning of the movie and at the end of the movie. I'm trying to build my credibility as an actor. I'm playing a comedic role in the movie, a dentist's apprentice, Cuba Gooding [Jr.]'s cousin. It's totally different from the persona of Sisqó, but my music on this album is so edgy, I feel like it was definitely cool to do.
I want to address the "Get Over It" movie. A lot of my fans said, "He played himself." I didn't play myself, dog. I know what I'm doing. I basically showed Hollywood I'm not a one-dimensional character. Doing a teen movie like "Get Over It" after coming out with a cheeky song like "The Thong Song" was the perfect move. Regardless of how it did in the box office, I got rave reviews on my performance and it also landed me another movie with Disney. I felt that was a cool role for me to try to tackle considering it was so different from my stage persona. A lot of artists pick roles where they're playing themselves. When you're trying to gain credibility as an actor in Hollywood, that's probably not the best way.
MTV: What are some of the other songs people can look forward to on this album?
Sisqó: My favorite song on the album is "Infatuated," mainly because it sounds totally different from anything I've ever heard. I think that's all a part of trying to do what's best for the consumer, instead of doing what's totally best for you. You have to find a happy medium, and I think I did with this album. It's kind of like when Michael [Jackson] came out with "Beat It" and "Billie Jean." Nobody wanted to hear "Beat It," they wanted to hear "I'll Be There." That's the same thing with me. They only want to hear me sing Dru Hill ballads. I gave them an album with all Dru Hill ballads and they ignored all of them and went straight to "The Thong Song."
Meeting Michael Jackson, touring with "the illest" singing group around, and get ready for the no-holds-barred Sisqó … NEXT >>>
