- How has the type design industry treated the TPC?
These sucka's need to stop frontin' on the TPC. We gots what it takes to put you six feet deep, headz out. Not to be frontin' or nothin' but, we's tha one. Miss the rest with the vest. Homies out there not givin' us love. A lot of shallow chest piece know what I'm sayin' Different methods, but one style. Check their links, they have ghettopixelpusher.com linked, but we's gets none. Thats aaaight, we got the hits.

- How do you differ between personal and professional work?
It's like in our professional career, you wear all black and gloves is needed. Leather in full. In personal situations, it's like flexin' TPC gear, and yo, it's the dopest. Decals, tims, rims, threads, we make it all. TPC world wide network!! It's for your dogs, your peeps, your shortys, your seeds, and it slams into others domes like, damn! People are all wanting the TPC kicks and hoodies. Dogs is always frontin' on the shells and we take em out.

- What , if any, is the difference between traditional graphic design and strictly typeface design?
WORD!

- Do you think type design gets as much credit as it deserves?
All non-verbal communication uses letters to communicate. What!?

- Do you ever collaborate with other designers?
Yeah, we collaborate!! We pull their tongue out and stab it with a rusty screwdriver. We stomp the competition, strike again. Punks jump up to get beat down. We see it like this, there are a lot of people talkin' about the good ol days. We thinkin' that it is too simple. Crush the competition, then you ain't got none! Get it mang? Word life!

- Do you see any up and coming type designers out there?
Flippin' the styles, there are few heads out there makin' it hardcore, on the real. All we see is blackness. And little dots sometimes.

- What's up with Hondas? (To Desmond)
I see it like this: Your transportation is essential in being a playa. Yo, like when you have a mad tight Honda, yo, girlies be all up in it. I'm always evading the 5-0, you can't chill with the heat around knowwhatimean? With shiny wheels you mezmerize, lowered, exhaust on, you got your roll on. You also gotta get tint up in it to evade the heat. Hondaz are all about beating the fat slow American ridez, like those redneck suckas in El Caminos. Me and the crew is all out there flexin' my ride 24-7.

- Do you see any future members of the collaborative?
Kid, we gotta have the posse in full effect, you know body guardz and snipaz catchin' murder cases, ready to put some heads out. You talkin' about a nine? A nine ain't gonna stop the bum rush, holmes. People always perpetratin' the fraud and trying to take what ain't theirs. We be creepin' while you be sleepin' ready for the big payback. Don't be slippin' cause we be trippin'.
