Daddy Long Legs and MSG of the original Bloodhound Gang broke off and created WOLFPAC in 1996. MSG left the group, but Daddy Long Legs is still tearin' it up with the PAC. Most of the songs off the Bloodhound Gang's first album were written and produced by Daddy Long Legs. They do a WOLFPAC version of "Whose the Knuckleheads" and "Go Down" at every show.
It's a great opprotunity to get to interview him. I've been down with the PAC for a while now and have been a fan of Daddy when he was with the Bloodhound Gang. Much Props to Daddy LL for letting me interview him.

First of all, how did you get the name "Daddy Long Legs"?
Well I am 6'4", mad tall on top of that. When me and my crew went to R rated movies played the "dad" then the name "Daddy" just stuck.
Where are you from?
Freeport, Long Island NY.
I know you get this a lot, and I didn't want to ask this question, but some of us are wondering: Is there any tension between the BloodHound Gang and WOLFPAC?
Not that I know of. Jim is doing his own thing, I am doing mine. It's sad that he kept the name Bloodhound Gang cause his new shit don't sound anything like the old stuff I wrote for most of the 1st CD, "Use Your Fingers".
Are you and Jimmy Pop friends, enemies or in-between?
Just nada, he has made attempts to contact me when we all just left but I am very uninterested in being friends in someone who values money over friendship or musical integrate.
What made you and MSG decide to leave the BloodHound Gang?
Well it was like this. Your in a band, your on the road, your getting hot chicks, your on MTV...life should be fun right? Well it wasn't. Between that drama queen Lupus to all the shady money problems the label was having to all the bullshit ego problems Jimmy Pop had it just was way too much like work and not fun. If I am not doing something in my life I love to do...well I leave it. Same goes for MSG, same goes for Skip 2 Pot O' Mus.
How long has WOLFPAC been around?
3 years loose, 2 years in full force.
Since the formation of WOLFPAC in '96 how come there have been so many changes in the WOLFPAC line up?
It's odd, it's this huge family. Unlike BHG where people are GONE. WOLFPAC switches things up all the time, certain members sign on for a few tracks, for some live show stuff, just to hang around then others are around just for live or just to fight, then others are down for ever. Either way if you're in the PAC you're in for life, just not needed to be there 24/7. It's like a Wu-Tang thing, always mutating, always developing always changing.
Why has WOLFPAC's debut album "Somethin Wicked This Way Comes" been delayed twice? I can't wait to get my hands on that...
It's not that big of deal, the delay was on the company who was shipping it out. That's really it. The real delay was in how long it took us to get it all together and out on the market. The reason for that is I was searching for the perfect distribution deal. A deal that we would have total control and not have any big labels pulling bullshit politics on us.
What is your favorite track that you guys have recorded?
I think my favorite track is still "Death Becomes Her" and "Los Vengeance Des Les Mortes".
Will there be any guest appearances on the album?
Not this one, stay tuned for the next one...we have some choice people in mind for that one.
I have noticed that you guys got to interview the Insane Clown Posse back in '96. Before there Great Milenko fame and I noticed they gave WOLFPAC props on the album thank you notes.
We like ICP, they like Wolfpac...Just nice people at them time.
What is the current situation between WOLFPAC and the Insane Clown Posse?
Not too sure, haven't heard for J in a while, at shows we go out and show mad clown love but I am unsure of what's what. I know there was some difficult blood when we weren't able to go out to MI to do a show with them so we had to cancel but it couldn't be helped. I'm not sure if this made bad blood but after that we haven't really talked.
Have you guys ever recorded tracks with them?
Nada.
Do you guys keep in touch with the Clowns?
Not really.
