CHATTERBOX #6: GTANet Interview with DJ Pooh

[GTANet]

 

 

Today we bring you an exciting interview with the one and only DJ Pooh! With a background in hip hop music production, writing, and directing, DJ Pooh’s creative influence on the Grand Theft Auto series spans almost two decades now. First collaborating with Rockstar Games to write for GTA San Andreas back in the day, he’s since made his mark with further writing contributions for GTA V and GTA Online, as well as hosting in-game radio station West Coast Classics and playing a major part in The Contract DLC with Dr Dre last year. He can also be thanked for encouraging his friends Young Maylay and Shawn Fonteno (CJ and Franklin) to audition for their roles as protagonists.

 

This time he sits down with us to briefly talk about Rockstar, music and the connection between it and games, GTA and more.

 

 

Check it out!

Dope interview, it would’ve been cool if you got more into the details of his work on San Andreas, but it was a good read nonetheless.

Quote

Plus, to have a lead black character in something so big and anticipated and cool, and the way it was done with Samuel Jackson as Officer Tenpenny it was phenomenal.

I'm all for things like this but it irks me that he forgot CJ, the playable protagonist. One of my favourite characters, my joint-favourite protagonist (with Niko) on my favourite GTA game. CJ was voiced by a phenomenal artist and I'm surprised that wasn't his choice of mention.

Dope sh*t, will read soon
