Esquire interview
World Peace talks about growing up in Queens, New York:
The City now is way different than it was back in ’85. Especially in Manhattan. Back then, in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it was definitely and heavily drug-infested. I can only ever remember how drug-infested it was when I reminisce about it. I remember in my neighborhood, people tried to come together and do good things. But I think a lot of people fed off the fact that we were struggling in my neighborhood and the best way for them to cope was drugs.
Metta World Peace interview
Metta World Peace appears on Conan and chats with him about his NBA suspension, his desire to play President Obama and his current mix tape project.
Metta on his defensive strategy for the President:
He goes left, just Manny Pacquiao, they both go left. He has no right hand, so I will force him right. And as he shoots the ball, I would not elbow him, first of all. And then I would just swat his shot into the fourth row.
