1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming back. Part two is underweight streaming? No?

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely not sure. So so should rappers take their their

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: music off stream to get it back to where people

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: got to pay real money to get it? Yep? I would.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: I remember when there was ninety nine cent to listen

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: to it? Yeah, or some you know what I mean? Yeah? Like,

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: so here's the thing, like it cost. It costed us

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: so much money to make those albums. It cost so

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: much to pay a producer. But now you know what,

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: I think producers may make a beat for two hundred dollars.

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm not lying, but I know, I know back

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: in together. You know, Doctor dra beat was two hundred

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: and fifty grand. You know Timberland beat was one hundred

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: and fifty two hundred thousand dollars. Wows as the Neptunes

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: and all of them that that shit was high. Yeah,

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: so it would be shameful to get a beat from

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: these top notch producers and then have to put your

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: shit on the and wait for it to stream. You know,

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: four thousand streams, A million streams is four thousand dollars.

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: What Yeah, one million streams is four thousand dollars. Wow,

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: So you gotta get so Brendan get in order to

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: get some money, you gotta do it like a billion

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: streams if you want some money. Yeah. So like Drake

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: and Kendrick, they doing billy, they bill doing billions and streams.

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: So they getting money, Yeah, Beyonce, Taylors plus streams, you know,

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: But I don't. It's it's too much. It's too much

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: red tape man in between that, because you don't never know.

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the record selling to you don't

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: know how many records you're really sold, right, you know

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: what I mean when they tell you, let's just go

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: about what they tell you, you know, But the streaming,

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I still I'm still not hipto how this works, right,

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm not putting out any new music.

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm not releasing any new music because it was just

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: be all done in vain because those people have come

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: up with something so slick to cut us all the

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: way out the money. You know, The mom and pop

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: saved hip hop. The mom and pop saved our lives

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: because if we couldn't do anything else, we canna sell

40
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand records and make a million dollars. God forbid,

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,160

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: a a A a real artist, man. You can't judge

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: their body and work by one song. Okay, I would way,

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: I would prefer way more if someone would just listen

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: to an album from front to back. That's why all

60
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: my shit jam from front to back, because I had

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: a chance to listen to my album from front to back,

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: right and then jammed. You had death Jam soud. You

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: was running death Jam souths when y South, when you

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: discovered Ludacris, I can't say I discovered Ludacris. He fill

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: in your lap a whole lot of shit feeling. Ludacris

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: was already doing numbers. You know, he was already a

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: uh he was. He was on the radio, yep. And

68
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: he already thirty thousand records sold already. Oh that, what's

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: your fantasy? Yep. So it was. It was like a

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: hands off artist to me, and he just fell on

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the left. Death Jam picked it up and push it

72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a little further. But you gotta think about all of

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: the other artists that slipped through the crack. You got

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity where you try to get TI, try to

75
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: get ross. Yeah, David Banner, m uh start naming 'em.

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: I tried to bring 'em over there. But back then,

77
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: the music that was coming from down South was so

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: iffy to them. M like the the music from down

79
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: south is so iffy to them. They wouldn't on it

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: right like they on it right now. You know, at first,

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: you'd never you didn't hear that right coming from the

82
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: east coast up of California. Now that's all you hear.

83
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: Even if you're not from down South, your music still

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: sound like you from down South. Correct. That's crazy, Yeah,

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. What have you learned

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: about money? Face? It's only it's money. Like religion, man,

87
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: it's only as good as the person who has it

88
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: or who believes in it. You know what I mean,

89
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Cause you could be you could be a uh a,

90
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: a a very very rich person and create a facade,

91
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: you know, for everybody else, like you're the best person

92
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: in the world, right, But when you're elected in the

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: and the and the lights get put on you, then

94
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: they realize what kind of piece of shit you really are? Right,

95
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: Or you be just a regular person with no money,

96
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: right and be the greatest person in the world. So

97
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: it's only as good as the person who believes in

98
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: it or has it. It's like religion. I think. Fat

99
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: Joe said on this u his podcast Joe and Jada

100
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: that rappers may paycheck to paycheck. You believe that it's possible.

101
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: It's possible cause you gotta think about it. You get paid, well,

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how to get paid now. I don't

Speaker 1: records and you get paid twice a year. And then

111
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: they got something they called reserves. They put some records

112
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: in reserves in case they come back. And it's like damn,

113
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: then you never see that, right, and then it's like, wow,

114
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: they got a cold system going on. But it is

115
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: what it is, right, you know. That's that's that's the

116
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: way that that that's the way they designed it. And

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all of the older artists that's like

200
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: Are you cool? Are you you cool with the parents

201
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: with their mom? I think so, yeah, because you ready

202
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: to e But you know what that at this point

203
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: it ain't even about being cool with the mom is

204
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: no more. That's about being cool with the kid. But

205
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: you had a situation where you giving cash to one

206
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: of the moms and not through the court. Yeah. I mean,

207
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna go through that shit. Yeah, everybody's gonna go

208
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: through that shit, man. And I think that that is

209
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: probably the most unfair thing that you could do to

210
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: a man. As a matter of fact, that creates a strain,

211
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: uh in parenting, you know what I mean? You'd be like, man,

212
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend time with my daddy and

213
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: be like he was a he was a token. You

214
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: was a check. You wouldn't you wouldn't you was a

215
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't that right? This ain't that you know, you

216
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: was a pawn right for a bigger scheme. I don't.

217
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: And it's sad. You know that that kid has to

218
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: suffer like that. Yeah, because the lady wanted to drag

219
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: the parent the other parent through some shit and it's

220
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: all on us. Did you got to go through this

221
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: shit too? I have? Yeah, so they they there's it's

222
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: everything fall on the on the dude, you know when

223
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: but we were young. I think the thing is face

224
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: like when you young, you don't really It's not like

225
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: you know when you have if you have kids like

226
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: in you late twenties, early thirties, but when you're having

227
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: kids as a teenager in your early twenties, y'all don't

228
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: know how to be no parent and you do and

229
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: you're not doing what's in the best interest for the kid.

230
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: I get mad at you. I'm punting. I'm trying to

231
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: punish you, but I'm actually hurting the kid. And it

232
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: wasn't until you start to realize, like, look, come on, now,

233
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: it's about them anybody else. And then once you realize that,

234
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, okay, okay, yeah, well in my case,

235
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: big bro, and and a whole lot of cases. And

236
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I can speak for a lot of men out there,

237
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: like in that situation that had a lot of money,

238
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's guys that don't wanna parent them them

239
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: kids though some some kids because the mother used that

240
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: kid as a as a payday. He like, here, I'm

241
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: just gonna pay you off. Bruh. I don't want 'em

242
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: to do it either, one of y'all. And and that

243
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: that's some bad shit too. Shit, it is, absolutely, you know,

244
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. If if Mama would

245
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: have been you know, straight up in the beginning, then

246
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have been the result in the end. Right,

247
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: And and don't do bad shit to everybody else because

248
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, the shit didn't work out with you, right,

249
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: m you know, don't be better at and him because

Speaker 1: lip and do you know, hey, I understand you don't

253

257
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: and and and it works like that. In some cases

258
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: you have to Chris just left. But Chris is your son,

259
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,200

00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: to go ahead? No, when when when you found out?

262
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: Because obviously you got to go to the match. It's

263
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: not a match, that's that's not that's not true. No

431
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: know him? Most people in the start a group, they

432
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: know each other with the high school together with the

433
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: middle school lived in the same neighborhood. How the hell

434
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: y'all former group and I know each other from the jumps,

435
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: so uh. The scarfaced song Jay heard it and then

436
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: coming to the crib wanted me to be a ghetto boy.

437
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: So I get into the van. This is the infamous

438
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: van and Willy and Red and Bushwick and I think

439
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: Jukebox was there, and he was. Bushwick was a dancer

440
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: at the time. He wasn't even no rapper yet, right,

441
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: And it was me Willy then Jukebox that was rapping.

442
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: That's why when you listen to trigger Happy, I can't

443
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: say it was that it was a couple of songs

444
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: that uh Jukebox had did when he was a part

445
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: of the Ghetto Boys. That knew when me and Bushwick

446
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: and I mean that when me and Willy. Bill wasn't

447
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: in the group, he wasn't just a dancer at that time.

448
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: And let me remember this correctly, But some kind of way,

449
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: Jukebox had left the group. And I don't remember if

450
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: it was Willy's idea or Jay's idea. Whose idea was

451
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: to have this little rapper talking cash shit and rapping,

452
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, uh uh a little guy. And so from

453
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,159

Speaker 1: I didn't know nobody, and they didn't know me. But

463
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: I would make a record with them and I would

00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: just be I'd be gone back, I'd make a song

465
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,080

466
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: the ranch, and then we had to stay there. Right,

467

476
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,719

480
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,440

00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: dude that played Bobby Brown or something. Uh J Prince

482

Speaker 1: said the Fred the Fairs tried to get you to

483
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: flip on him. Do you remember that time? They always

484
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: try to get somebody to flip on Jay. Yeah, but

485
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: you stay ten toes it, said J. J. Prince said

486
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,040

487
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: distribution label, and that's when all the shit started. Really well,

488
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I feel like that when they was talking about uh

489
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: flipping the flipping the script and taking the power away.

490
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, I think if you putting out your own

491
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: she a hundred percent independent, that you putting up triple

492
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: platinum albums independently then and you taking everybody out, can't

493
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: nobody eat off of it. But but y'all right, hell,

494
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna start paying attention because you with somebody's money, right,

495
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, And this ain't nothing but this that the

496
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: man America ain't nothing but money and law. That's it.

497
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: You got money in the law, right, that's the only

498
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: thing that separates money in the law. The album cover,

499
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: We Can't Be Stopped is that the greatest cover? I

500
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: hated it. Why if you look at my face on

501
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: that on that album cover, I absolutely hated that cover.

502
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: What the I just feel like it was, you know,

503
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: I always say that too, like I think I honestly

504
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: think that that was chief that pulled that patch down

505
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: off Billie, does a girlfriend really shoot him in and

506
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: I that's y'all made that up. No, a girl shot

507
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: Bill in an eye for real? We shoot him with

508
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty two. Yeah, shot him in the eye.

509
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: So he wouldn't make it that up and say my eye.

510
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't now, Oh, but I know that he shot

511
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: him in the eye. She shot him in the eye

512
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: a hard cover though he was a hard cover. But

513
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: you know the man was that Bill wasn't even woke.

514
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: He's sitting up and that motherfucker dad. He was like,

515
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,600

00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:27,720

Speaker 1: got the property ass back up. Look so up, Bill Politics.

519
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,360

00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: you ran, but say the counsel. You're gonna do it again.

521
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: You do what I am. I was gonna do it

522
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: this time. But this snake in the grass. Yeah, you

523
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: don't say no names, but he's a snake. He was

524
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: telling me that he was gonna do this in this seat,

525
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: and I was gonna do that in that seat. And yeah, man,

526
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this to together.

527
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: Man.

528
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: We gonna be together man. Mm and then push turned

529
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: into a shove and Homeboy was like, did something else?

530
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: So nah, I'm gonna do it though again. You can

531
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: do it again. Yeah, but they won't be on those

532
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: terms though, right, and be on my own. Have you

533
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: always been in the politics?

534
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: I have.

535
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: I've always been in the politics. Tricks, politrics, politricks. Okay,

536
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: that's what's happening now, right. I think that if people

537
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: really gave a damn about the condition of black people,

538
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: then they would do more than talk, right, you know,

539
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: they would do more than spoon feed us. If you really, really, really,

540
00:32:50,800 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: really really gave any a damn about the condition of

541
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: of our community, then you would do what needs to

542
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: be done for that community. And it's not putting programs

543
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: in place, or it's not you know, government assistant, or

544
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: it's not this or that or taking our education away

545
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: from us, so we will never know who we are.

546
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: It's not that, all right. And I don't know why

547
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: a certain group of people feel like they have to

548
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: continuously punch down that's a word, punch down on black people.

549
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: I know for a fact that black people are so great,

550
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: so great. I'm talking about birthright great, birthright great until

551
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: people would do anything to dim that light, do anything

552
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: to dim that light or make you forget who you are,

553
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: and then impose and interject the you that they want

554
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: you to be. And and that's that would be the

555
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: you that you become if you really think about it.

556
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: I know you're a sports fan and your guys got KD.

583

Speaker 1: for the cancer, stick off in your mouth or grab

682
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: a brew sold in stores. But the fact remains this,

683
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: and they were made and the government's been taxing that

684
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: getting paid. That's why I was all illegal in the

685
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: first place. That's why I was all illegal because the

686
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: government couldn't tax it and get paid from him. But

687
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: if it's TAXI bull is cool, it's smoke, then killing

692
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: because you all I need girl. You naturally you come

00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: number for this day and indeed the form of life.

703
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: That's a shame, like it was some shit going on

704
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: in that song. That was kind of and you had

705
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: to be high face. When you're writing a song, do

706
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,200

00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: the music, okay to song, and then no words will

709
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: kind of come like you kind of start off with

710
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: a piece of an idea and then you write a

711
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: verse to it. And then whoever you're working with on

712
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: the song, will you know, we'll start working on it

713
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: more and putting it more together. So you write your

714
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: first person, you lay it, and then you work on

715
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: their music a little bit, and you go home and

716
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: you write the second verse, and then you put the

717
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: first verse of the second verse, and then you write

718
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: the third version, and you lay it all and then

719
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: you listen to it and listen to it and listen

720
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: to it, and then you go back and rerecord it,

721
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: and sometimes I don't even have to rerecord it because

722
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: it's that perfect. Wow. I believe in being absolutely perfect,

723

Speaker 1: took a pain killer. I was drinking Miller lights anyway,

909
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: and I smoked the square and that ship didn't end well,

910
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: did did it? Did the words? I mean, how long

911
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: did it take you to come up to lay those

912
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: verses for that? Did it just start? The pin just

913
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: started writing it like an auto pin. So I was

914
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: in the studio and I made a beat and I

915
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: started with a baseline and the base line went like.

916
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 3: H m hm hm hm.

917
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: Hm h Right. I did them on the keyboard and

918
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: then I played the right. So that's what I wrote

919
00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: the words too, Okay, the band the bad So that's

920
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: the original way that I set it up. And then

921
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: Mike Dean comes in with the I'm here he had

922
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: the Mike Dean also played this guitar part. They went

923
00:57:43,640 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: kind of like this, So I had to take this home, right, yeah,

924
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: and I'm high as hell and the first thing I

925
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: came up with was utu his father with his hands out.

926
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: You cantbilitated slightly, glad to be the man's child. The

927
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: world is different since he's seen it last and seven

928
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 1: years he's out of jail and he's happy that he's

929
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: pre and last all he had was his mother's letters.

930
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: Now he's mobile and he's got to make a change

931
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: and make it fall the better. But he's black, so

932
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: it's got one strike against him and these young plus

933
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: he came up in the system, but he's spawned and

934
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: he's finally making eighteen. Right, I'm coming up with these words, man,

935
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: The words are flowing right. But the more I wrote,

936
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: the more dead I felt. Yeah, I was, I was done.

937
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: I had that kind of high that I had, that

938
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: blackout high. Yeah, you know that's the That was the

939
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: writing process on this song. Man. I was. I didn't

940
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: want to I didn't. I didn't want to be high

941
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: no more, you know what I mean. I remember I

942
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: remember that uh that verse where I said, I hear

943
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: you breathing, but your heart no longer sounds strong, but

944
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: you're kind of scared of dying, so you hold on

945
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: and you keep on blacking out. And your post is slow.

946
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: Stop trying to fight the reapers. Just relax and let

947
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: it go. That's how high it was. Wow, that was

948
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: high I was writing that record. Yeah, I was. I

949
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: really went in there and got some ship. Uh, because

950
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: there's no way you can fight it, though you still

951
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: try it, and you can try it till you can

952
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: fight it, but you still dye. Your spirit leaves your body,

953
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: and your mind clears, your bought to started to set

954
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: and there ey it like that's real. That's that's how

955
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: I felt.

956
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 3: Man.

957
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: Wow. But when I got to the studio land, I

958
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't hide no more else come with that letter and

959
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: it was like I was like, he greets his all

960
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: with his hands out. Rehabilitated slightly, but glad to beat

961
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: the man's child. The world is different since he's seen it,

962
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: last out of jail in seven years, and he's happy

963
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: that he's free and last all he had was his

964
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: mother's letters. Now he's wok. It's got to make a

965
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: change and make it for the fetter, but he's black,

966
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 1: so it's got one strike against it, and he's joke.

967
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Plus he came up with this, but you never know

968
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: how those words are going to come out upon delivery

969
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: because I stand firm on letting the beat guide. Okay,

970
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: I use my voice as an instrument, Like, don't you'll

971
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: never hear a song from me where the beat is

972
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: doing one thing and my voice is doing another. Like

973
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a mono tone, right. Like

974
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: you know how some rappers get on the microphone and

975
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: they rap the same way, yeah, every time because they're

976
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: not letting that beat lead. You know, they rap and

977
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: off of their own instinct and not letting that beat. Guy.

978
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: You gotta let that beat guide, and in order to

979
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: let that beat guy, it's a vibe, right, It's a

980
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: vibe man. So you know some some records, you hear

981
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: me rapping this way, and the next you're here like,

982
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: who is that nigga? Right? Like, I remember one time

983
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: we were doing that, sitting at the stoplight, looking at

984
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: howse peeping out this bitching her black jabows, windows rolled

985
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: up tight, chopper was flosed, blowing, switching sweet smoke out

988
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: that's me. Yeah, So I'm changing my voice. I'm changing.

989
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm changing the dynamic, the pitch, I'm changing the flow.

990
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: The cumblines are different, you know, the patterns, the rap

991
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: patterns are different. Sunday morning, I'm off in church, sending

01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: I want want to leave. Can let my mama see

997
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: I ain't listening to the message. But it's it's it's

998
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: it's different deliveries on different songs, different songs called for,

999
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: different deliveries, different beats. Man, is there never been a

1000
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: situation where you you you were you, You write it

1001
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: while you're high, and then when you come down off that,

1002
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, I hope I can get right back

1003
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: into that head stayed out. Oh, once you're getting this

1004
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: in there, Once you find out, once you get back

1005
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: to what you were writing in the pattern that you

1006
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: was writing it in you in there. But I ain't

1007
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: wrote nothing high in a long time. Of course, I

1008
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: ain't been writing, but I ain't doing nothing. I ain't

1009
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: damn sharing. You trying to act like I'm listening. Don't

1010
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: feed like I gotta be high. Now I'm messing with you.

1011
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:02,479
Speaker 1: And now it's just you know, I don't smoke weed

1012
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: all the time. Okay, you know, but when I do,

1013
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna be burning our brain cells, right,

1014
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: So it's gotta be something being creative, do you That's

1015
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: what I'm about to ask. When you smoke, are you

1016
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: smoking to getting a frame of mind that you can right? No? Oh,

1017
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: you just smoke? You just smoking and smokings. No, I'm

1018
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: not smoking. I'm smoking. I'm smoking the I'm smoking a

1019
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: spark ideas, right, But I'm just not riding around smoking

1020
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: all day long just to be smoking. So if you

1021
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: see me smoking some weed, I'm in a vibe, right

1022
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: and I haven't smoked weed in a long time. If

1023
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: that what it would take you to get back in

1024
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean, what would smoke some weed? No, what would

1025
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: it take you to get back to the pen? That

1026
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: we know? Face to have? They gotta pain? Like the

1027
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: ship is free now I'm not that it's not paying man, Okay,

1028
01:03:58,160 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like this is where the

1029
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: money is like shortened now out on a tour. We're

1030
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: calling it the function. You know, this is where the

1031
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: money is. Even though Todders were still recording, e forty

1032
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 1: still recording, everybody's still recording. I just don't see the value,

1033
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: and I'm spoiled. I was spoiled. I remember when you

1034
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: could sell a regular. You can sell regular five six

1035
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: May nine ten dollars correct now zero cent. It's zero.

1036
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: It's half a cent on a cent for a stream.

1037
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: So I don't see the value and wasted by time.

1038
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: I can't get my time back right. You know, I

1039
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: got a catalog that will carry me, and you know, yeah,

1040
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: you're good. You feel me like I got it. I

1041
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: got a pretty decent catalog, and I'm always thinking of

1042
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: some some other funky ways to revamp me, you know

1043
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, like this is this just didn't

1044
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: come overnight. Like I've been doing my band shit for

1045
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty years. A matter of fact, Aunt sent me something

1046
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: other yesterday, send us something. Well, how long is that

1047
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago? It was almost twenty years ago,

1048
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: okay of us, you know, working with our band shit

1049
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: all right? And I went on the road with a

1050
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: band and I wasn't even getting paid, but I knew

1051
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: that eventually the game would catch up to what I

1052
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: was thinking. Yeah, where I'm at in my mindset because

1053
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: we can stand on stage and and and grab him

1054
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: grab our shit and walking and live saying tower shit,

1055
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: or we can bring it back to the essence so

1056
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: where it came from. You know, like I we we

1057
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: built this music, man, right, we built this music. Tupac's

1058
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: last song he recorded with you nineteen ninety four, Smile.

1059
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: I can't say that. Hold on, yeah, do you remember

1060
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: that before you passed? It might have not been ninety four?

1061
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 1: What yearold? That did Smile come out? It came out,

1062
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 1: It came out in ninety It came out in ninety seven.

1063
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: But re recorded it when you got that September. Hey, man,

1064
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I could very well be the last

1065
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: song that he recorded. Absolutely, that could very well be

1066
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: the last song, because I remember leaving La going to

1067
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Chicago and getting hearing that he was shot, but me

1068
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: knowing Pac, like I know Pac. You know he gonna

1069
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: get up and he's gonna be talking shit again. Right

1070
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: all right, you can very well be right, man, because

1071
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: we recorded that in September or June, and he got

1072
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: shot in that September he got Okay, we recorded that

1073
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: song in June or July of ninety six. He got

1074
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: shot and killed in ninety six September. Okay, so that

1075
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: can very well be that last record. But I like me,

1076
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: knowing Park and how he worked, I doubt it possible though,

1077
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: because he probably laid down fifteen twenty songs a day.

1078
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: Because what that was a if I'm not mistaken, I

1079
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: think it was the the Tyson holy Field fight. It

1080
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: might have been Bruno, check checked the fact. I see

1081
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: I went to the Frank Bruno fight. That was in

1082
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: like April of ninety six. Okay, who'd he fight right

1083
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: after that? I think it was holy Field. I can't

1084
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: say that. We'll look it up. We gotta look that up. Yeah.

1085
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: I think he was fighting both or somebody. It wasn't

1086
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: the holy Field though, because he remember holy Field back

1087
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: to back ninety six he fought lost, and then he

1088
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: turned around and fought him again in ninety seven when

1089
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: he bit his ear. Yeah, but no, Park was still

1090
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: around though, No, I don't think so. I mean, see,

1091
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: we can look it up. See Whinney Pak get killed.

1092
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I think it was September of ninety six. Okay, So

1093
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,919
Speaker 1: when did Tyson fight holy Field? Thirteen nineteen ninety six,

1094
01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: seven thirteen, So you say Tyson holy Field? Yeah, he twice.

1095
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: He fought him in ninety six to ninety seven. He

1096
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: fought him in December, right, he fought him on my birthday,

1097
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: November ninth. So yeah, no, brother nine nineteen ninety six.

1098
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: The second fight was George twenty eight, nineteen ninety seven.

1099
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: When Whenney Tupacet killed September? Yeah, September thirteenth, nineteen ninety six,

1100
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: So it was I think it was a Bruno who did?

1101
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Who did? Who was holy Field? That was there was

1102

01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: and Bruno because I was at the Bruno fight in April. Yeah.

1104
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:41,960

01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 1: More money means more liter Gayton, more player, Hayden, gotta

01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: some kind of way we got a chance to use

1142
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: that record on my album. But I remember sitting in

1143
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: the studio writing it and recording it. Man, that's when

1144
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: Park told the engineer, man, you ain't got too many

1145
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 1: more my bands. He's finna. That's when the I think

1146
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 1: Park may have been the first one, the first artist

1147
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: to beat up an engineer. I could be wrong, but

1148
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: I know he used to beat his engineers. Though I

1149
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: wrote it down like new. As I opened up my story,

1150
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: put the blazes in your blunt. That's that's so you

1151
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: can reflect. Okay, you know what I'm saying. So you're

1152
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: trying to reflect on what I'm saying. Man, you sit

1153
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: back and damn yew. As I opened up my story,

1154

Speaker 1: put the blazes in your blunt so you get picture

1155
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: thoughts slowly upon phrases I run and I can walk

1156
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: you through the days of the done. I often wished

1157
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: I could save everyone, but I'm a dreamer. Have you

1158
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: ever seen a guy who was strong in the game

1159
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,439

01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: a man without a focused life to drive me sane.

1164
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm stuck inside the ghetto fantasy, hoping to change. But

1165
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: when I'm focused on reality, I'm broken and changed. I

1166
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,559
