Streetalk: Are you more talented than Britney Spears?

Rooster: She’s an entertainer, I’m an entertainer. We’re peers. I play drums and sing and she just sings and just sings and just sings and dances. I’m not better. She may be at the top of her game, but I’m at the top of my game. She’s inspiration for me. I’m waiting to be discovered. It’s a big enough world for everyone. I’m an older cat, she’s still young. She’s endured. The best is yet to come. There are more rap stars without talent than there are people like Britney.

Pete & Bo: We’re really good with the 7 to 15-year-olds. She takes over the teenagers who actually, like, go out and purchase CDs, but we get the kids going. And then the parents have no choice but to stand there and wait, so they wind up giving us $10 or so. Realistically, I don’t think Britney Spears could come down in the corner and entertain people like we do. With her name, she could, but if nobody knew who she was, we’re more talented. And we got way more sex appeal.

Kumar: I play horn and sell books. I’m definitely a better writer. Anytime a celebrity is popular I can’t stand them, but anytime the media picks on them then all of a sudden I love them, like Pamela Anderson.  Britney has been picked on enough so she’s endeared to me now. I do an entirely different style of music. For me to say I’m better is not giving her due credit. To say that she’s better is not giving me credit. As long as she sticks to pop and I stick to blues we’ll call it even.
