Yung Berg will tell you he's almost famous. He even titled his debut EP with the phrase. But we'd say after releasing one of the biggest rap records near the end of '07 ("Sexy Lady") and being featured on one of '08's biggest hits ("Sexy Can I" by Ray J), we'd say he's pretty darn famous. While it still has yet to be determined whether or not Yung Berg will get to the status of some of his fellow Chi-town rappers like Kanye and Common, his plans for world domination were somewhat derailed last month. In an interview on Shade 45's Lip Service radio show, Yung Berg (real name: Christian Ward) made clear his preference for light-skinned black women, as opposed to darker-skinned women, who he referred to as "dark butts." Berg issued an apology, so as to not lose the fans that have made him, well, almost famous. Ironically, VIBE featured him in August's "Real Rap" issue in the "Since I Got Famous..." package alongside other rappers like Rick Ross, Boosie, and Lil Mama. Here's some of what Yung Berg had to say that you couldn't find in the magazine. VIBE.com: I feel like there’s two Yung Bergs.  Like the guy on “Sexy Lady” and the more gangsta guy.  How do you balance that out in your music?  Yung Berg: I try and feed the streets.  That’s why I’m doing countless mixtapes.  I think I’m on my fourth one this year that I’m working on; songs with Lil Wayne, songs with Fabolous.  Just to keep the streets happy, and make street records.  But then on my album I wanted to make big records.  I wanted to make records that sounded—no disrespect to any other producer like Timbaland or whatever because they great—but sounded like it could come from them, but from myself actually.  I just wanted to make big sounding records and be able to look at the records and see “Produced by Yung Berg.” What would say is your signature sound?  My sound is the spaceship.  I want to make you feel like you out of space when you listen to my music.  I want to use all different sounds never used be
