"malice madness." what is the -- what is that? >> it's me and my new record. my tenth solo record, i might add. i just went in and just made a record that felt good to me,

that was more about me just having a good time and putting people in the spirit of just enjoying some good music. >> larry: but malice implies bad. >> yeah. because in the beginning of this record i had a lot of malice in my heart and i was kind of frustrated and upset with the whole industry. and then towards the end of this record i found myself being in a place called wonderland. that's why the record is called "malice n wonderland," because i finally made it to happiness. >> larry: what changed? >> i think just my family being around me and just me enjoying the fact that people still want to listen to me, from being a rookie in 1992 to still being here and people still loving my music. so that got me the great spirit of just turning it into a positive. >> larry: all right. the latest single, "i wanna rock," generated some huge buzz, we understand. what was it like to rerecord this with jay-z and other rappers? >> i mean, this was a big record for me because it actually opened the door again to show that the west coast is still here to stay. and at the same time it's a great record because it makes people understand that hip-hop is a great thing and it's universal and it's bicoastal.

so to have jay-z on the record and to have other rappers putting their verse on the record just shows that, you know, hip-hop is here to stay and it's bicoastal. >> larry: when rap first started, a lot of people put it down. has it changed? >> i believe that rap is the most important form of music right now because it's the -- it's the change and the choice of a new generation because if you notice, any sports venue or anything that has to do with entertainment, they always have to involve rap because rap is the number one source of music right now. >> larry: but is it music? i mean, can you hum it? >> you can hum it. if you dealing with snoop dogg. you know what i'm saying. i got music that you can hum like -- ♪ da, da, da, da, da ♪ it's the one and only d-o double g ♪ you can do me. >> larry: i'm a g now, right? >> you're a double o g. >> larry: i'm a double g. you're going to learn that later. how i became a double g. new thing. you were part of the "we are the world" haiti remake. what was it like to pass the torch? what was it like to sing with that group? >> it was special. for me to even sing in that room with all of them it was special. i was a kid watching 25 years
