PR.com (Allison Kugel): Whose idea was it to make a double CD having R&B on one disc and hip-hop on the second disc?

Tyrese Gibson: It was mine.

PR.com: Why?

Tyrese Gibson: It's always been in me to do this hip-hop thing. I used to be in a rap group called "Triple Impact" long before I started singing, and it was always in me to want to do it and it just kind of had a life of its own.

PR.com: Was Triple Impact before you even started modeling, when you were a teenager?

Tyrese Gibson: Yeah.

PR.com: I actually think doing a double CD is really smart because you get to introduce something new without alienating your R&B fans. I think it's a smart business decision, so I compliment you on that.

Tyrese Gibson: Have you heard it yet?
