Description
We were both in a bad situation with the same person. I had a problem with a big producer I was working with. He was also working with Cash Money at the same time, and was trying to screw both of us over. So me, Slim and Baby met on those terms. When I met them for the first time everything was good right away. They loved me and wanted me to keep coming back to work for them. From the start it was a great bond.
When we signed the band, we really were trying to figure out who an appropriate producer might be. A lot of names were mentioned and Nile Rodgers was one of the first. On paper, he looked like the right guy, having worked with Diana Ross, David Bowie, Duran Duran and made his own music with Chic, so he met the band and we had numerous discussions on how we would work with him. As it turned out, he was just out of our price range: he wanted a budget of about USD300-350,000 and we just couldn't afford it. We needed to keep the budget for the album down to about USD 100-150,000.
