Spencer Pratt, who dropped his first rap track titled I’m A Celebrity earlier this week on the KIIS FM radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest, gave an interview to Complex magazine about his foray into rap … among other scintillating topics of discussion (ranging from Twitter to Brody Jenner‘s lack of street cred). Here is Spencer‘s full interview with Complex — trust me, it’s an interesting read:
When it comes to reality TV, there’s no bigger rabble-rouser than Spencer Pratt. Fully embracing his role as The Hills P.E. #1, Pratt has parlayed his notoriety into becoming a tabloid staple. Although Complex has never been into the gossip-game, we were kinda psyched when we heard SP (The Ghost) was getting into rapping and—it’s Spencer, after all—throwing some of your favorite artists under the bus. (Sorry, Asher.) Never one to stir the pot (ah ha!), we spoke to Spencer while he was on his way to shoot guns with wifey Heidi—good practice for an aspiring MC. Read on to see how he and his wifey Heidi plan to outdo Jay-Z and Beyoncé, why Roth doesn’t stand a chance against him, and how Brody as a hypeman would damage his street cred…
Complex: What’s going on man, how are things?
Spencer Pratt: The usual, just another amazing day in my life. On the way to the gun range with my wife, ready to go fire off some hollow points out of the 19…
Complex: Ha, OK. So you made headlines yesterday talking about Asher Roth, saying he lacks swag. If you had to battle Asher Roth, what would you use against him?
Spencer Pratt: I mean, the fact that I’m so paid, and he’s broke [laughs]. Simple as that. That’s my whole point, being that I’m fly with tons of money, and he doesn’t have that yet. I’m sure he’ll have a lot more swag in three years if he keeps selling.
Complex: You also said, “I’m like the white Jay-Z.” Would you consider Heidi the white Beyoncé?
Spencer Pratt: A little bit more than the white Beyoncé. Beyoncé had to be built by a group like Destiny’s Child, but Heidi shines solo. I’ll actually give you an exclusive: I could guarantee you Speidi’s [Spencer and Heidi's] “Bonnie & Clyde” version is going to stunt on Jay and B’s version.
Complex: Wow. Is that song going to happen?
Spencer Pratt: Yes. Steve Morales is already working on the track. That’s my Puerto Rican guru on the beat.
Complex: I saw that you’re trying to reach out to OJ Da Juiceman for him to get a verse on a Morales-produced track.
Spencer Pratt: Yeah, I’m trying to get him on my first real single because “I’m A Celebrity” is not my single. That’s just my marketing tool for the show. My first single, I just want to have me, Gucci Mane, and OJ Da Juiceman. It’ll be the flyest song in the game. I’m going to track them down, that’s my priority today.
Complex: Who’s rapping career would you use as a blueprint for yourself?
Spencer Pratt: I think I’m the future of hip-hop. You know, I feel bad for saying that. That’s unfortunate, but that’s a fact. You can’t compare my model of hip-hop with what I’m about to come out with versus anything in the game. You know I’ll take the Diddy route. I’m not a lyrical MC, I’m just like Diddy. Look what it did for him? He is still balling.
Complex: I know you said that you’re trying to infiltrate the ringtone game…
Spencer Pratt: Yeah. People are not even going to have time to listen to radio in their cars because they are going to be talking on their phones or twittering, or BBM’ing. So I feel like the only time people are going to hear music is when your phone rings, so that’s the whole market I’m going after. I don’t care about the clubs, I don’t care about the radio, all I care about is getting my digital downloads like Soulja Boy.
Complex: There’s a lot of money to be made in that…
Spencer Pratt: I think it’s only going to multiply in the next ten years. There are more people with cell phones in the world than any other thing on the planet. There are billions of cell phones. There’s not not billions of radios.
Complex: Now, Jay-Z had Memphis Bleek has a hypeman. Would Brody Jenner be your hypeman?
Spencer Pratt: Nah. A person who has a show called Bromance can’t be in on this clique.
Complex: You think that would hurt street cred?
Spencer Pratt: The Bromance show definitely hurts my street cred, so I’ll definitely distance myself from Brody as a hypeman. I’ll be pretty much be the first rapper/hypeman. I would take on both roles. I would wear both shoes. I’ll hype myself before I start rapping. I’ll get on the mic and be like, “Who is hotter than me in the game? No one.”
Complex: Interesting…
Spencer Pratt: The bottom line is, if every single platinum song right now wasn’t auto-tuned, then I would be like, “I can’t be a rapper.” The fact that I could get up to perfect pitch just like Kanye West now, and T-Pain, it’s an even playing field. I don’t have to have talent. I just need to have auto-tune and be allowed to have the hottest track in the game, and my swag.
Complex: Obviously you twitter a lot. Which rapper do you think has the most interesting tweets?
Spencer Pratt: I would say Diddy is the most interesting Twitter-er. I definitely will follow the hip-hop circle now that I have infiltrated the game, just so that I can be aware of my rivals and what my competitors are doing. But, I’m not really interested in anybody, that’s why I started rapping. I’m still a fan of Tupac. That’s the only rapper that I’m still like, “Oh! Tupac!” Besides Gucci, and Juiceman, I’m not really excited about anybody in the game. I just love Gucci and Juice because they just have too much swag that they don’t know what to do with themselves.
Complex: Now obviously, in the previous episode of The Hills, you kind of Kufi smacked your sister’s ex-boyfriend, Cameron. Are you prepared in case someone comes at you sideways?
Spencer Pratt: I mean, I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu all my life. Boxing, kickboxing, you know. I’m definitely not a fighter, but I defend my honor.
Clearly Spencer Pratt has a very high opinion of himself and is his #1 fan. Whether you hate him or love to hate him you have to admit that he’s got the right kind of attitude to make it in Hollywood these days. Whether he has the stamina or the balls to carry on this swagger is another thing altogether. You have to take his comments with tongue very firmly in cheek … there is no way he can seriously believe that he is the future of Hip-Hop. But as long as he says things like this, he’s gonna get noticed … it’s pretty genius. The fact that Speidi has managed to extend their 15 minutes of fame this long is pretty impressive. Again, it’s really all about attitude. He’s got enough of it to stay on people’s radar. He just has to watch what he says so he doesn’t get shot down … figuratively, of course. Good luck with that rap career, bro. That’s a pretty serious game you’re trying to infiltrate.

i have no idea how he could speak so highly of himself – the white jay z? and comparing heidi to beyonce.somones on some cheap drugs.
i think i just threw up in my mouth
someone should shoot him. literally.
um:
(a) spencer clearly has no idea what the game is if he thinks he is in it, and (b) I am glad that he, too, is aware that his “celebrity” is a empty exercise in nonexistent talent, ability or anything real: “I don’t have to have talent. I just need to have auto-tune and be allowed to have the hottest track in the game, and my swag.”
ugh. such hideous horrors the two of them.
um yeah – dream on douchebag. jay & b are way beyond your reach. i just can’t believe i wasted 3 minutes of my life reading that… can i get a do-over?
“A little bit more than the white Beyoncé. Beyoncé had to be built by a group like Destiny’s Child, but Heidi shines solo.”
OUCH. At this point I stopped reading.
He can’t be serious.
I didn’t know “fly” was still popular. LOL this kid is fucking killing me……………”now that I have infiltrated the game”<——the MTV reality TV game?? I am embarrased for anyone that knows this clown. BRUTAL!
that is the best picture of Heidi I’ve ever seen, she actually has her mouth closed & isn’t posing like a porn star – love it.
On Spencer… you couldn’t MAKE this stuff up – pure comic gold.
he is delusional
The only reason Pratt has stretched his 15 minutes of fame is because media outlets feed it… stop feeding the rat and the rat will go away. Pretty easy concept.
@~M~ I was going to say the same thing about Heidi. This was pre-Spencer makeover, back when she was actually REALLY cute. Girl looks too plastic now. I think it was the nose job, because she just doesn’t look proportional in the face anymore. And it makes her teeth look HUGE.
I actually think what he said about auto tuning is dead-on and hilarious !
hahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG that is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. hahaha…..
One word comes to mind….delusional.
What a loser. Their 15 minutes are up……please we don’t want to hear about them anymore. UGH.
UGHHHH FALL OFF THE FUCKING FACE OF THE EARTH, YOU BITCH! GO AWAY!!!!!
That was soooo funny….and sadly, he is absolutely right. I’m sure in any city you go to you could find 10 people more talented than most musicians but it doesn’t mean any of them are going to be stars!
I mean he’s right about not having to have talent…clearly he is not the future of hip hop or the white Jay-Z. Honestly…who ARE these people? I never even heard of Spencer or Heidi until the whole wedding fiasco!
Oh. Dear. God! Make him stop! Make him stop!
LMAO that was entertaining, all i can think about when i imagine him as a rap artist is steve martin in breaking down the house…
This guy makes me want to vomit, can he not just disappear up his own ass already!
You really have to wonder how much of the shit he says is actually true. i mean does he honestly think and believe it or is he just saying to so people will comment on it? either way he is still a waste of human
He reminds me a little of Kanye’s ego… except Kayne IS talented. Spencer is just a douchebag. Ever see the episode of South Park where they give ‘The Biggest Douchebag in the Universe’ award out? Well, Spencer – it’s your year!
Is this actually serious? Or is it a joke? Because wow. Someone please tell me it’s a joke.
DOUCHE
i think he totally believes every word out of his mouth. he is THAT delusional. i hope he gets shot.
DOUCHE!
oops! I just realized I had the exact same reaction as RazberrySwurl lol
Hollow points? Those are illegal, somebody better call the cops on his ass… THEN he’ll have some street cred after he’s in the joint.
I can rap better than that guy.
i want someone to ‘accidentally’ back over him with a car. multiple times. and then burn the car because it got some spencer on the bumper.
IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES THIS, HE’S MORE DELUSIONAL THAN I THOUGHT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET HIM PROFESSIONAL HELP. know any really really good psychiatrists?
no wonder heidi looks scared all the time.
its like he’s an all-in-one cult.
WTF?!
The reason that “Speidi” has had more then 15 minutes of fame is because you and other sites keep posting stories on them so im not impressed. This entire article is just …FAIL
I refuse to read any of this interview because I am convinced that he cant possibly be serious, and he is trying to screw with us. On second thought, maybe he and souja boy will do a song together. It makes me all giggly thinking about it.
Is this real? I don’t believe it! It has to be fake. WTF?!
I wouldn’t even watch a Heidi & Spencer Porn!!!
Trent, why do you waste your valuable time writing about these two? Does anyone really care? I read everything on your blog, daily, Except info on these two, I just pass on by.
This world no longer makes sense.
Thank god Pac and Biggie aren’t around to see whats become of their art.
Yo Prat. You’re a D-bag. Karma is coming for ya loser…get ready.
THAT was absolutley hilarious!! I laughed out loud so many times reading that interview! Hah! It’s funny when people don’t realize what a joke they are….so funny. I’ve never watched the Hills, but unfortunately I can’t espcape knowing about these these two freakshows….it’s sad. People need to smarten up and stop paying attention to such vapid wastes of space! Doesn’t anybody want quality entertainment anymore? Or see real talent? Guess not.
I’m glad these two are so humble, and fame has not gone to their heads!
i cant believe this guy thinks he is the “future of hip hop”…i laughed so hard i almost wet myself…is he serious??? his 15 min were up way before they started, please give it a rest and go away!!
omg heidi with her old face!!!
and he cannot be serious…they both cannot possibly be for real, between heidi’s “music career”, now this. i feel like they’re secretly really smart and just playing a joke on us all, no one could possibly be that dumb
God, he’s a douchebag. I can’t wait until him and his slutty little Stepford wife go away.
train wreck, can’t pull your eyes away! i love to hate these two, they’re evil villains on a live soap opera.
I hate to say it- but he’s brilliant.
He knows how to say/do/pose the right outrageous things to keep his name in the press. This is just that.
Obnoxious- YES
Smart publicity move- YES
K-Fed 2.0.
Man Spencer is hysterical… I always wasn’t big on this dude but now I’m a huge fan. Not even being sarcastic
epic speidi fail. plz make these 2 go away. please?
no need to post more than one sentence out of this douchebag’s mouth
You know… I guarantee that spiedi is all about publicity and it obviously doesn’t matter if they have portray themselves as fools to get it. And to “rap” (If that is what they insist on calling it) about being a celebrity is more conceded than anything. Although it isn’t the dictionary definition of celebrity, but I have always considered people with real talent in the entertainment business a celebrity.
SO who will pay my bail after I get arrested for punching this kid in the face? I’m willing to bet that I’d have people lining up with check books, and to pay me to do it again….
first of all , Asher Roth is not a real rapper if were going to go by the ” college” track. Sorry folks that is not hip hop( more like pop to me) that is the result of all the little white kids who bought eminem in 2000 and are now old enough to make their own music. Eminem has more ” street cred” than Roth and Pratt combined. Atleast Eminem has stuff to rap about. Second of all, Is anyone taking spencer pratt seriously, he is just f’ing with america, he doesn’t any of the stuff he says anymore then the rest of us do. He just says it to create controversy, because he wants to seem interesting and worthy of the attention he gets. He wont go away until people stop talking/caring about them, which will be whenever there show gets pulled from mtv. People who like REAL rap and REAL hip hop don’t listen to most of the artists in his interview, minus jay z( asher roth? are you fucking serious?)..
They should have asked him who the furious 5 are, or the fearless 4, Eric B. and Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, Kurtis Blow, ask him about some of the people who STARTED what we now call hip hop. he wouldn’t have a clue, and people who don’t have a clue have no business in the genre.
* he ( pratt) doesn’t believe any of the stuff he says anymore than the rest of us do, and we all KNOW he’s alot smarter than that. He’s no dummy, he Knows exactly what he’s doing, that’s why it’s gonna be real sad when he and heidi break up and the jig is up, he won’t be able to “act” his way through real shizz.
I wish people would stop resurrecting tupac like he was the jesus to rap, he was a great writer, lyricist and rapper don’t get me wrong, but he wasn’t the ONLY great rapper in that time or before, he is just the most recognized b/c of the way he passed, and the way he lived. His music was great but it’s funny that people who have no clue about hip hop can always name those usual suspects ( biggie, jay, pac, diddy) and diddy isn’t even a rapper folks, he’s a dancer turned producer. He produced his good friend biggie and ended up deciding to put himself on some tracks( after he got his rec. company) thus his career was born, but he is No lyricist, he’s actually the problem I had with rap in the 90′s / 00′s, he ruined a good artist like mase and took down how many others with him( does anyone remember the lox?) If pratt wants a diddy career, that’s just fine but he’ll never be a jay z or a pac, he’s being funny on that one. I bet spencer is a LEO.
@Brett: I have checkbook in hand. Go get him!
Trent– please, please consider a moratorium on these Speidi posts. They make me SO ANGRY. I know reporting entertainment gossip is your job, but unfortunately in this situation you’re part of the problem, not the solution. Your posts just further enable these wastes of space to prolong their 15 minutes. I BEG OF YOU. NO MORE… I may not be able to read PITNB every day anymore.
god, these two idiots make me wanna puke sooooo much. I hope they disappear off the face of he world soon. They’re so fecking ridiculous it sickens me to even see a picture of them.
I’ll calm down now :)
K-Fed…is that you?
@Brett cash in hand…gogogogo!
Hahahahaha too funny!!
I have never wished death on any one, but he’s starting to change my mind….UGH he is just a terrible human being.
spencer is so the new kfat
WHAT A HUGE DILDO! Seriously this guy has to be the worlds ultimate douchbag. I hope he falls in a 7000 foot well and manages to live so he can slowly starve to death.
pulleeeezz…..this guy, and his whorish attention-loving wife need to both be shot. white jay-z? white beyonce? really?!? LMFAO! pathetic losers!
To call this fellow a dildo is an insult to dildos. Dildos may, at very least, provide some pleasure to someone. Spencer Pratt is the most appropriately named person on the planet. As to him having the ‘right attitude’ to be a celebrity…why…what… okay, we, as a global community, need to come together and just bully this guy down into non-existence. ‘Kick Me’ signs on his back, swirlies in the bathroom, shove him into a locker…he’s a LOSER.
does this idiot actually have any fans? who likes those attention needing self absorbed a——s??
Can’t wait to watch his “hip-hop career” crash and burn.
I reached the part where Heidi is better than Beyonce and stopped reading because I was feeling nauseous. Douchechussetts called, they want their governor back.
I think the fact that anybody takes him seriously and actually gets *angry* about what he says is almost as funny as what he says ! People, lighten UP
usually i say they made me vomit sarcastically. But honestly no joke I just dry heaved for about 15 minutes. They are so disgusting. Blahhhh.
Finally…a pic of Heidi in which she doesn’t look plasticy/melty!
OMG…Spencer is like a PR god.
In the Hills we always see him sitting on the couch, but that is where is thinks up those crazy ideas to promote his name and get more money out of it! Even if only to mock them, EVERYONE is writing about them. And in this business, there is no such thing as bad press.
Speidi use to annoy me, but now i see them as the entertaining freak show they really are…and we are all eating it up…
CRAZY!!!
These two never stop. Egad!
Heidi used to be so pretty! I hope she stops wearing so much makeup and stops putting so much extensions in her and stops teasing it out!!! Look at how pretty she used to be! LOL like wow Spencer made her a WH*RE
I hate spencer, and I hate heidi NOW – i liked the old heidi. she’s still in there somewhere, but i think spencer has total control of her now.
He is absolutely stupid, saying that people are too busy “twittering in their cars” to listen to music, and there are billions of cell phones but not “billions of radios”? Are you kidding me?? What do cars come with? RADIOS, not cell phones! What existed first? RADIOS, not cell phones. He is an idiot who needs to get the eff over himself.
You know nobody who courts the media as much as these two do can’t not know that everyone who knows who they are thinks they are the biggest tools on the planet. I mean this post alone got 70+ hits. If we care enough to even talk about how much we hate them, they still win, that’s why they keep getting their picture taken and people bother interviewing them..
Spencer Pratt = Kevin Federline part 2
i can’t believe he’s so self-adsorbed! the only reason heidi is “shining solo” is because no one else would ever consider singing with her!! beyonce built herself up on pure TALENT. spencer will never make it in any entertainment industry. he is simply a delusional, cocky, pompous guy who needs to learn his place in the world.
by putting up info on what these two say, you only increase their “fame.” if people stop reporting on them, they will eventually lose whatever they have. please please pleaseee stop talking about these two, they’re not worth the space on any blog, especially this one!
i want to throw him in front of a speeding train
i hate him. this guy is sooo annoying.
They are both hilarious. Come on people, you can’t believe that they are serious with their photo shoots and interviews like these.. they do it because it’s fun! Wouldn’t you do the same thing? I think stuff like this is meant to be funny. Lighten up!
I’m not sure which is the biggest contradiction, Pratt talking to “complex” mag, which I’ve never heard of anyway. This guy is about as complex as a an empty paper bag. OR that Whitey McWhiteboy is going to rap. And of course played on Mr. Douchebag himself Ryan Seacrest show. Maybe he’ll try to crash a party, start rapping, and someone will beat the ever loving shit out of him.
Someone kill this mother fucker. Please……
He can’t be serious…”The white Jay-Z”??? Will someone just shoot him and get it over with?
