OTL 62: Michael Watts Excerpt #2 “Early Swishahouse” Lyrics
Michael Watts: I'm gonna tell you, the first two artists that was rapping on the mixtapes when I started calling it Swishahouse were Lester Roy and Archie Lee. Lester Roy lived on the next street from me. Archie Lee was Lester Roy's best friend
SameOldShawn: That's great, that's great
Michael Watts: Yeah
SameOldShawn: Who else really stands out from that generation of people?
Michael Watts: Man, you know what, everybody was great in their own right. I remember when I met the - Imma call 'em - the Acres Home Crew. That was Lil Mario, I met Mario first
SameOldShawn: Mario seems, by the way, and I haven't met him, I've just seen interview footage, but seems like a really big personality
Michael Watts: He's a character. He's a character, I'm telling you. He needs to be outta here. He needs some press down here. That dude's a character. He needs his own show, he's so character. Yeah. Lil Mario brought in Slim Thug, J-Dog, AD, and I'm forgetting somebody else. There's somebody else. Oh! 50/50 Twin. That's how they ended up coming in there. And AD - did I say AD?
SameOldShawn: That's great, that's great
