Speaker 1: That's something A bad wounding song. Motherfucker's bad. Yeah that
Speaker 1: DJ started comment because I mean there's like a real
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah. So okay, so let's stay focused.
Speaker 1: Name alcoholics. How did we get there? Was you guys
Speaker 1: drinking old English? Hold on, hold On, hold on something
Speaker 1: black memorialized, Yeah, better better together? There you go now,
Speaker 1: But the name King TI once again, we were known
Speaker 1: for drinking. He don't get it twisted. We were drunk.
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, y'all were alcoholics before y'all were called
Speaker 1: alcoholics precisely. But King came up with the name. He
Speaker 1: did me and me and uh and Um Jr. Was
Speaker 1: sitting at King's house. He had an idea to have
Speaker 1: a group called Alcoholics. It's gonna be him myself j
Speaker 1: Row and we needed another member, which was obviously Tashed.
Speaker 1: He was the illest nigger that was around us, like,
Speaker 1: but he was in Ohio caught up in some bullshit. Wow.
Speaker 1: So I was like, we was like, we gotta get
Speaker 1: put Puttashi in the group. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen when we Puttash in the group?
Speaker 1: Why does that say that? What is that for? Why
Speaker 1: did you say? It was like we got at the
Speaker 1: time he's at the time, he wasn't he got a
Speaker 1: strong personality. He was a catastrophe right behind like my
Speaker 1: friend tragedy lived up to being a tragedy. But there
Speaker 1: was a people. There was no close second. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So boom, that's the alcoholic. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But at that time, we was really
Speaker 1: drinking a lot, like we was doing auder. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're familiar with the same eyes commercial right,
Speaker 1: we was. We had to contract to act the personal
Speaker 1: question what you're doing Jakobson, We were drinking Yago maestro,
Speaker 1: but we were getting paid by sat Eyes, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So every month like them too, we
Speaker 1: did all of them, was producing the commercial with me.
Speaker 1: They didn't either Snoop On doing his alcoholics, so I
Speaker 1: was I don't know about during that time for yea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we had the contract with st Os and we're
Speaker 1: doing all them and they would they would pay us
Speaker 1: for them. But also every month a fucking semi truck
Speaker 1: would pull up to my cribs and just willing tastes.
Speaker 1: So that doesn't help for anything, help at all. You're
Speaker 1: walking my house and you would just see cases of
Speaker 1: forting houses the whole wall. So let me ask you,
Speaker 1: is there difference between O E and st Os? Are
Speaker 1: they both more liquor? They're both liquor of taste? What
Speaker 1: is just trying to do this? Yeah? They were? What
Speaker 1: is I just the bottom of the It's definitely definitely
Speaker 1: not good for anything. Step of the bottom of the ship.
Speaker 1: Usual reason to get like that, the gold one green
Speaker 1: one we first started out. I'm sorry, I don't think
Speaker 1: about private stock. You know up okay drink, but they
Speaker 1: take the getting stout bottles and with drink like a
Speaker 1: whole crew with drink half of it down, then report
Speaker 1: getting stout ended, and the whole ship with black. We
Speaker 1: bught it black the trail like everybody, everybody, everybody black.
Speaker 1: We're saying, like ten times on the album, we said
Speaker 1: we had this thing where every when we was in
Speaker 1: the studio everything, we would drink all the empty bottles
Speaker 1: we're throwing in this closet. And by the time our
Speaker 1: session was over, that ship that you would open it
Speaker 1: over that that by time we finished this album, you
Speaker 1: would open that closet door, and I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: deep closet. Fucking bottles would just come pouring out, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And we were like, oh ship,
Speaker 1: we really alcoholics. But how could you broms. We didn't
Speaker 1: write nothing. There was freestyle. How how would you you
Speaker 1: know what? That's what That's what people trip off like
Speaker 1: n season all difference. But I never wrote to a
Speaker 1: beat you had read to the car like you know,
Speaker 1: like like sessions where they played the beat you got
Speaker 1: eight m cs just the beat go over and I
Speaker 1: got short attentions plan. So I've never done it like that.
Speaker 1: Always by my lyrics like a cappella and then adapted.
Speaker 1: If I say it to the ship, I don't fit.
Speaker 1: If I say that, I wouldn't fit, I might have
Speaker 1: to take a good line or two out. But everything
Speaker 1: I compella everything. Wow, that's crazy. Now at one point,
Speaker 1: you guys a couple of round. Now we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to the first album. You can go to the first
Speaker 1: back questions, we'll go to further and we'll go backwards again.
Speaker 1: You want to go the first album, Let's go back

Speaker 1: like it would kind of move faster after that because um,
Speaker 1: we had that we had most of the stuff on
Speaker 1: our first album we had in demo phases, see what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But we went back in and touched some
Speaker 1: stuff up. But what happened was we had got um

Speaker 1: was made. That was the first they had a studio
Speaker 1: session somewhere, and we went to it and I remember
Speaker 1: we played the demo for Faye at the studio and
Speaker 1: he was like, Steve Riff got to hear this ship man,
Speaker 1: y'all his own one, right, Steve on the west coast
Speaker 1: of this time. Yeah, he wasn't on the coast when
Speaker 1: he had the officer. We had an office with one cubicle.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I'm saying. And it evolved from
Speaker 1: that tosst Yeah yeah, but I think you had officer
Speaker 1: in New York. I don't think not yet. We should
Speaker 1: go up there every day thode just like like party
Speaker 1: and what years is though when being shot, this is
Speaker 1: like the heyday, Like this is the beginning of the
Speaker 1: classic like l A Underground era. Yeah, this is like
Speaker 1: right right at the custoer where all that like when
Speaker 1: he was catching glimpses of underground l A hip hop
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like the g funk stuff that was
Speaker 1: more mainstream we had, you know, it was groups like
Speaker 1: the Black Eyed Peas and stuff coming from the underground
Speaker 1: before they had fer Yeah, before all that, like they
Speaker 1: was super hip hop has uh far side and all
Speaker 1: them was bubbling on the underground. There was the whole
Speaker 1: uh good life movement and all that stuff. And then
Speaker 1: once you guys got on liquid contact. Once we got on,
Speaker 1: we kind of farry. And what happened with us though,
Speaker 1: man's when we start doing our live shows. We're just
Speaker 1: bringing it all the all the chicks was coming out
Speaker 1: to see us. You know what I'm saying, right, because
Speaker 1: we're liking that's exactly why life skiing all my life
Speaker 1: announcement right, all the all the women started coming out there.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, Ship, we can do this hip hop
Speaker 1: with the with the women coming out. He's like yeah,
Speaker 1: And it was like Drake is a group said Draken
Speaker 1: was her announcement. All announcement later Ship, but yeah, and
Speaker 1: we kind of made our own lane, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. We wasn't really like doing the whole good
Speaker 1: life thing, but you know, we was kind of doing
Speaker 1: our own ship. And then then I don't know, man
Speaker 1: just took off from there, like yeah, people did y'all think? Because, um,
Speaker 1: I mean, y'all could really really help us with this
Speaker 1: argument because a lot of people, a lot of people
Speaker 1: assume or they think that because the East Coast, or
Speaker 1: rather New York at the time, was very essential to
Speaker 1: what was going on that New York show Love. I
Speaker 1: know that I know that for y'all to be something
Speaker 1: totally different, So I don't know that to be a fact.
Speaker 1: I know from what I heard you know people, I
Speaker 1: love the licks. You know what I'm saying, like things
Speaker 1: like that, But I don't know your personal story. At
Speaker 1: that time, New York was running the thing. Did you ever?
Speaker 1: It's a two part question. One did you havever performing
Speaker 1: a tunnel? Yes? And then to know we didn't performed?
Speaker 1: But wasn't that I think? Okay, you didn't, did you?
Speaker 1: Every Sunday was Sunday? Sunday? Every Sunday. That's the skinnes
Speaker 1: skinned on me by that. It is the bath room
Speaker 1: with the chicks in it. It's unseex back. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it was. It was like, I don't know, it was
Speaker 1: weird to him because weird just go there every Sunday.
Speaker 1: But did you did you feel New York all day?
Speaker 1: Like like we spent a lot of time in New York,
Speaker 1: especially me, like I was mastering and mixing in New York,
Speaker 1: and I would, oh man where I was Like I
Speaker 1: was everywhere. I was a Sony Studios. I did a
Speaker 1: lot of ship at D and D when I was
Speaker 1: doing some other stuff with getting to that. Don't mix it, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't mix it d D. I don't mean tracking there,
Speaker 1: just tractor, I know the other few. Yeah, sorry, but
Speaker 1: it was to the point where, like when our music
Speaker 1: started getting out there, people didn't really realize just because
Speaker 1: it's just based off the sound of the music, that
Speaker 1: we was from the West Coast. They thought we was
Speaker 1: from New York somewhere. They just couldn't right. They just
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out what park, you know, I mean, like
Speaker 1: what b A. I'm like, we don't know West Coast.
Speaker 1: It's because I was super lyric quart at that time.
Speaker 1: We didn't really understand. No, I think it was an
Speaker 1: error of it though, that you had Cypers to the
Speaker 1: Cypers did their video their first video, so we we
Speaker 1: it was different from them, like CERs we said we
Speaker 1: we didn't. It wasn't like we assumed. But the first
Speaker 1: shot we saw it was in actually our second video,
Speaker 1: our second video, because you see my first video from
Speaker 1: the Real Estate, which video you're saying for Cyprus with
Speaker 1: the first video I ever saw up he was because first, well,
Speaker 1: I see killer Man. I just see that. I didn't
Speaker 1: see that video music Box was Killing Man and they
Speaker 1: was in New York, so there was no way that
Speaker 1: first of all. But if you're listening to lyrics, you
Speaker 1: know it's not They're not from Blood I did, okay,
Speaker 1: and too, I never even knew what the Mexican was. Mexican. Well, well,
Speaker 1: I only identified with Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. So if
Speaker 1: it wasn't part of the Dominican, if you was Latino period,
Speaker 1: I put you in that category. And I'm Latino. So
Speaker 1: when I looked at Cypress Hills, I automatically said, well,
Speaker 1: I supported to this all. We'll never I did the
Speaker 1: fire with them. I never heard that, you know when
Speaker 1: they were So you're just not listening to any of
Speaker 1: the lyrics, You're just I don't know what he's I've
Speaker 1: just ProMED out that. But then we really plus don't
Speaker 1: mind our arguments and about this, really really really with
Speaker 1: thought some confusion in the mix of us being from
Speaker 1: the West Coast. Our second video was the song Liquid
Speaker 1: and Only when I'm Drunk. Ralph McDaniels directed that ship,
Speaker 1: and we filmed that ship in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. Wait,
Speaker 1: wait really quick, I just want to say something. I
Speaker 1: just want to make a statement. I want to know
Speaker 1: this hold on the state. This is the thing. This
Speaker 1: is the problem that whenever something is lyrical, it has
Speaker 1: to automatically be assumed it's New York. And that's the
Speaker 1: problem here. That's the problem we're having him, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: That's an argument. We always had something. Oh it's gotta
Speaker 1: do you see it when you are We're good okay.
Speaker 1: And that's the that's the thing that I've always argued
Speaker 1: because from Miami, I was always arguing and advocating lyricist
Speaker 1: as well. You know, if you're a certain lyrical that
Speaker 1: oh no, no, that is East New York Star were
Speaker 1: talking to Miami. But what is lyrical over is what
Speaker 1: you're talking about head because no people saying people work playing,
Speaker 1: they say I'm lyrical all the time. You are to
Speaker 1: think about that. I'm just wrapping about beer and party
Speaker 1: this ship. But when you put it, yeah, well object,
Speaker 1: that's the way you're not just saying my leg I
Speaker 1: beg yeah, you know what I'm saying. We're just doing
Speaker 1: on my lap, like we gott get pleased, holy ship,
Speaker 1: this is a new tax. Like for really it was
Speaker 1: years I couldn't get this motherfucker to smoke with a ship.
Speaker 1: He couldn't get me to drink beer. And then and
Speaker 1: then when he started like smoking weight, I was like,
Speaker 1: that's so what was you know, being that we gonna
Speaker 1: drink chat the moment where you said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slow down on drinking. I mean, like, um,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was one moment. I think it's
Speaker 1: more like accumulation of a whole bunch of moments. Good anything,
Speaker 1: don't let me, but like, um, I just felt like, well,
Speaker 1: a big part of it. I met a girl, right
Speaker 1: And sometimes you know they say you've got spiritual I mean,
Speaker 1: what's called the partner of life, partner of whatever I
Speaker 1: think I was called. Uh yeah, So I met this
Speaker 1: girl name Michelle and everything. And you know when I
Speaker 1: realized that that, um, I was sucking up a lot,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And in fucking up, it's
Speaker 1: gonna people that it's gonna be people around you that
Speaker 1: tell you, look, you're sucking up. Always gonna be people
Speaker 1: that encourage you to funk up more so they look better.
Speaker 1: So I realized like a whole like um, Like, first
Speaker 1: of all, a party for light. I mean this is realistic,
Speaker 1: A party for like two of years straight. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, every day non stop? The fifth day
Speaker 1: party studio, back to the things. See my kids go
Speaker 1: over here and back to the part. You know, every
Speaker 1: day I was waking up not serious about ship, you know.
Speaker 1: So basically, um, the sweetheart lady, she she basically put
Speaker 1: me to the side and said you're better than that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and she just you know,
Speaker 1: start up being my friend and everything. But now I
Speaker 1: realized that you need more people like that, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like I never thought about relationship, but man,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I don't know the pointy to
Speaker 1: and say, you know what we do, but you don't
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, put over there. But you know it's
Speaker 1: probably some married people in the crowd right here, but
Speaker 1: they'll tell you that these are players. Okay, but but anyway,
Speaker 1: that's what really did when somebody when somebody from the
Speaker 1: outside to love you more than you love yourself and
Speaker 1: she would care. Nah, but you know, we literally you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, it's a girls ship. Shuff shut
Speaker 1: up and ship. But I'm trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: you've got the key here? Yeah, you got to keep
Speaker 1: we got the half smoke chance we're done smoke right, Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: let me know, but I'm just saying that, um like, basically,
Speaker 1: like there's people out there that's gonna see this ship
Speaker 1: too with a problem, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: if you see this problem in advance, it's a better
Speaker 1: thing that then you know, you could die from liver
Speaker 1: cancer or something that you but just they like like thinking, um,
Speaker 1: like you know I Red. When they came out, they
Speaker 1: smoked and they smoked weed, and they let people know
Speaker 1: cypres hell, all the groups that you know, that's what
Speaker 1: they land. What's the first thing you want to do
Speaker 1: when you see them up the backstage at the crowd
Speaker 1: over here with it, you want to smoke with them.
Speaker 1: So we got signed pretty much a couple of years
Speaker 1: after high school. You know what I'm saying. We're turned
Speaker 1: twenty one, we've already rapped. You know, we've got the
Speaker 1: first album out. We're doing our thing. Everybody we encountered
Speaker 1: it was a routine that want to buy you a drink,
Speaker 1: drink it with you and take a picture, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So back then, no c the Reds.
Speaker 1: Back then, Yeah, the whole ship look like lines out there.
Speaker 1: But make a long story, short, short story, long whatever
Speaker 1: the um you know, it's just a lot of people
Speaker 1: came to me and they pulled me to the side
Speaker 1: a lot and they was like, dude, just like you
Speaker 1: know that that story to me and you just told
Speaker 1: this ship I could have died that night. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Remember how the thing was looking at
Speaker 1: But what I mean is if I if I can
Speaker 1: tell I don't not people for drinking this ship year
Speaker 1: to see do your thing. Listen everybody listening to do
Speaker 1: what you want to. But if you see it's a
Speaker 1: problem in moderation, everything you gotta do is embrace the problem.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Once you embrace it, then
Speaker 1: you fix it. Okay, allcause like Jabe was not here
Speaker 1: right now, but all the talking and complaining about it
Speaker 1: not gonna breathe here. So we gotta make the best
Speaker 1: of the hope we get better soon, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But that's what I did. I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, I checked myself to this um. It's like
Speaker 1: a program. It's not like a rehab when you go
Speaker 1: for you know, you stay there for a month or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like I just made a dedication available. It was
Speaker 1: like you specially yeah, you know Vegas, Yeah, flavor out
Speaker 1: the thing. It's a lot of you know, it's not
Speaker 1: by must have been looking fund up, because everybody say
Speaker 1: that to say that, I don't back that. That's what
Speaker 1: I mean by niggers. They tell you that. I know
Speaker 1: it was challenging you. We was chelling you in the
Speaker 1: most drunkest place in the world in Vegas, Vegas because
Speaker 1: like you know, how like you know some people and
Speaker 1: ship like you you overdo something to stop like the break,
Speaker 1: the hap it or something, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like some people, Okay, you won't rock bottom. Bro let's
Speaker 1: just say that, did you see it was a different
Speaker 1: you know, people hit rock bottom, they go broke, they
Speaker 1: do this, they no, no, no, but but spiritually you
Speaker 1: probably hit rock bas I just I just know better
Speaker 1: than that. And just you know, I lost interest in
Speaker 1: the music for a minute. It was like it was
Speaker 1: a lot of buss hit coming out, and I was thinking,
Speaker 1: just like this might not be my land, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I started doing other stuff and
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that I love hip hop so much
Speaker 1: like funk what everybody I was doing just come back
Speaker 1: to this. So I took a hiatus, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I really the quarantine and all that ship.
Speaker 1: It was me just you know, better than myself. This
Speaker 1: is after you guys did lick nuts. This is after
Speaker 1: that now now, yeah, that's probably when he came to
Speaker 1: the realization, like you know, I'm gonna tell you, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Le'm gonna tell you the last time I dropped that
Speaker 1: I caught the tail into that I don't even want.
Speaker 1: That was the lick nuts of the room. But the alcohol,
Speaker 1: I think you was there. But the last time I drunk,
Speaker 1: because that's why to do like if you picture like
Speaker 1: aldi big gonna stay drinking ship. Like the whole thing
Speaker 1: was that I was having. Like I don't regretting none
Speaker 1: of that ship. You know I'm saying, tell me, I
Speaker 1: do be great. I take it back. I regret certain things,
Speaker 1: but I had the best time in my life. Man.
Speaker 1: I traveled the world. Absolutely, you still standing. Shot you
Speaker 1: came off. I got you know, that ship. But but
Speaker 1: what I said was that when you commit yourself to
Speaker 1: better yourself, then when you stop, you start seeing all
Speaker 1: these beautiful things start to popping at your doorstep. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, manage it. But it's my clothes
Speaker 1: company on my back, you know, saying, did you tell
Speaker 1: some of this is you know? And it's not. He
Speaker 1: it's a little little gift for match shot laces in
Speaker 1: the front. Nag, that's two heads that that's fine. Drink
Speaker 1: there you got. But but you're just the man. I'm
Speaker 1: really proud of you, bro like. But but it was
Speaker 1: hell um it was hell um um um. It was
Speaker 1: a beauty. It was a great feeling to check that
Speaker 1: monkey off your back. Because now I got I got
Speaker 1: album dedicated. I mean, it still the same party down
Speaker 1: tasking every day, but I'm still talking about drinking and
Speaker 1: she's like that but not me drinking. But I'm a
Speaker 1: professional bartender now and really yeah, I can't get this
Speaker 1: a lip. But um, but back to the thing. Um.
Speaker 1: I encouraged anybody that knows that they're sucking up, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, to address the problem and get
Speaker 1: it early, because it took me twelve years addressing damn
Speaker 1: that went. Remember about to clip out here and ship
Speaker 1: I just had some money and I wouldn't visit it Miami.
Speaker 1: I liked it, but I out thee let me get that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Moved into North Bay Village
Speaker 1: over here and ship. So how hard is it right
Speaker 1: after you know, you realize you want to be sober
Speaker 1: and you're still hanging out with a group called the alcoholics,
Speaker 1: because by times not hanging out, you are the group alcoholics.
Speaker 1: I mean I've been times where I like, I do,
Speaker 1: like I just did seventeen days straight drink. Yeah in
Speaker 1: seventeen Yeah, yeah, he's back. You're back to drinking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Kanye. You want to come the days. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't drink something not a good at interview too, because
Speaker 1: I didn't understand Kanye until I saw that interview that
Speaker 1: no people said I made him cool again? Thank you
Speaker 1: what you did? I just did so. But at times
Speaker 1: when I used to want to do that, and I
Speaker 1: used to go to a club called so Be Live,
Speaker 1: but I used to hang with my friends people that
Speaker 1: was drinking, and I couldn't stand these motherfucker's. Yeah I
Speaker 1: get that. I would come around these motherfucker's will be drinking.
Speaker 1: If it would be there at nine o'clock with seventeen
Speaker 1: bottles of water. That's not water in the water from
Speaker 1: nine o'clock. That's another thing. By the time we were working, bro,
Speaker 1: They'll just say we were not there. At nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: We still earlier he was a part of the promotion
Speaker 1: earlier guy to the club, and we would be there.
Speaker 1: And at one point I had to learn how to
Speaker 1: readapt myself exactly. So at first I wish to be uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: Like I mean just not I'm playing around when I'm
Speaker 1: saying them, But in general, when I would do these
Speaker 1: thirty days spreads or whatever and I come around certain people,
Speaker 1: I would be uncomfortable. And not only that, I would
Speaker 1: judge people. I would like, he is just a little
Speaker 1: bit of spin, is just hanging right there. And you
Speaker 1: would say this about people. I would say about you too. Man,
Speaker 1: you guys I'm saying when I when I would go
Speaker 1: through my sobers right. But what I'm trying to say
Speaker 1: is I had to learn how to readapt myself. I
Speaker 1: had to learn how to say because they're having fun
Speaker 1: and I'm not having I'm still having fun. I'm smoking
Speaker 1: we I'm dancing to the music, but I'm not having
Speaker 1: the type of fun they all because drinking just just
Speaker 1: makes you have a little people, it just really just
Speaker 1: making So how did you adapt to that and still
Speaker 1: be a part of this this group the last time? Yeah, well, okay,
Speaker 1: the last time I I rapped on stage drunk, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, was that the Loud Records, than I
Speaker 1: remember that was my darkest moment because this was it
Speaker 1: was like it was like I wasn't ever had in
Speaker 1: life did a minute. I didn't ad minute I had.
Speaker 1: I had it so bad that when I was standing there,
Speaker 1: I want to cry. You know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 1: were staying on stage stage because first of all, the
Speaker 1: mother was mad at first because the mother's when we
Speaker 1: went on, we were a little earlier ship and people
Speaker 1: still walking in. So I went into this hit understanding yeah,
Speaker 1: because the lights ssted on being put on and I'm
Speaker 1: drunk up, but you see this group, you got to
Speaker 1: be feeling in your heart, right, And then we went
Speaker 1: on first like it was the first Loud so I
Speaker 1: think it was the first one, but without in the
Speaker 1: first but I don't know who went on. But the
Speaker 1: whole thing is, I'm looking for the light man. I'm
Speaker 1: doing this. I'm drunking hell and not knowing that I'm
Speaker 1: outside looking for the light man. They're like, yo, ta
Speaker 1: swiftly started the intro. You own this ship like that.
Speaker 1: I remember running to the stage and ship like that,
Speaker 1: and I ran on the stage and everything I looked
Speaker 1: and when I looked up, I realized were the first group,
Speaker 1: and the license on it is barely you know, starting everything.
Speaker 1: And I thought in my head, I was like, Nigga,
Speaker 1: if you didn't drink, nigga, you'll be headlining this motherfucker.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And it just made me think,
Speaker 1: you at the bottom of the opening this motherfucker because
Speaker 1: you ain't cut, you know what I'm saying. And I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just um. The next day after that,
Speaker 1: we went home back to l A and everything, I
Speaker 1: just I just I said, that's the last time I
Speaker 1: gonna feel like that. You know. I was piste off,
Speaker 1: like like a motherfucker. I like, dude, you but if
Speaker 1: you look at the show, I'm pretty much standing still
Speaker 1: the whole time and everything. It's license on it in
Speaker 1: my face and everything. But I was having emotional ship
Speaker 1: going through my head while I'm wrapping. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You know why you will always be a
Speaker 1: bof alcohol. You will always beat it. But it's because
Speaker 1: it's always somebody who tells you to stop. Right when
Speaker 1: you stop on your own that means you have I
Speaker 1: trying to let gas you or something like that. But
Speaker 1: you know I've been in a A. I've been in
Speaker 1: an A when I got you have been Yeah, when
Speaker 1: I got locked up, you just not knowing that, yeah,
Speaker 1: you had locked up. I had two assault I had
Speaker 1: a tip order and two assault charges my but I
Speaker 1: also had drug charges, so my lawyer told me to
Speaker 1: cop out to the drug charges, not knowing when I
Speaker 1: got up state, I was copping out to drug charges
Speaker 1: saying I'm using the drug. So I I had to
Speaker 1: do all that ship. And what I noticed is when
Speaker 1: it's always That's why he said rock bottom. If you
Speaker 1: noticed that he said, he said, you hit rock That's
Speaker 1: what they say most people, and rock bottom is never
Speaker 1: you you recognizing it's always somebody saying to you, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: you slept in the Army's yea, in the pool of
Speaker 1: your own door, right like that? Never like that point
Speaker 1: is that I was living this rap life. It wave.
Speaker 1: You know. The whole ship was that I have money
Speaker 1: and that's what sucked it up kind of you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Because I go do two shows a week,
Speaker 1: I mean two shows a month and get some cool
Speaker 1: bread pay my rent and then the rest of this
Speaker 1: party morning, you know what I'm saying. Like, of course
Speaker 1: the kids, you know what I'm saying. But the rest
Speaker 1: was just you know, like if we want to go
Speaker 1: out of town, we go out of town for let's
Speaker 1: say we're going for a day or two of I'll
Speaker 1: just jump on the plane and God anyway, way, like
Speaker 1: it came back when you like two weeks always saying
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, just drunking binges of making music and
Speaker 1: ship like and nobody stopped me. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Have you ever one of one one of my best
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to just bring this up. I gotta ask you, okay,
Speaker 1: one of my best drinking partners, one of my worst
Speaker 1: drinking partners, because when I realized what we do, it's horrible,
Speaker 1: corrupt it too. Yeah yeah, but one day that's hunger
Speaker 1: of corrupt for like three or four days and I
Speaker 1: realized I never had a moment, so yeah, like I
Speaker 1: was just he's still drinking like that. Now he had
Speaker 1: to commit me. I think I think because he's on
Speaker 1: marriage boot camp and he saw him marriage bout camp.
Speaker 1: But I think he's traightened up a little No, he
Speaker 1: looks good. I see that. People got in this ear too,
Speaker 1: you know, like you. I'm talking about influence on we
Speaker 1: need you'all legends. Yeah, put me on to the partial
Speaker 1: conversation you feel comfortable with your conversation will corrupt and
Speaker 1: about I mean you feel and we home musicition like that.
Speaker 1: I just basically I told him that. And really it
Speaker 1: was more people that that needed to hear it too,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. One like a one on
Speaker 1: one per se. But it was a couple of us
Speaker 1: that because they trip up that I don't drink them one.
Speaker 1: I used to be the used to be the buyer
Speaker 1: supplier to drinker. I come here, I walk in. They
Speaker 1: know I got it in the car, I got it
Speaker 1: over here and this and that, and you know, it
Speaker 1: just got to be a lifestyle with have you. If
Speaker 1: a person is is a real alcoholic, it's like you
Speaker 1: you drink so much on the normal that when you're
Speaker 1: not drinking and you don't you know, it's just like
Speaker 1: the bas said this ship they want that high and
Speaker 1: all this ship it was, it was it was like
Speaker 1: so normal to me. I didn't realize how odd I
Speaker 1: was active until he would come and tell me something
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean or something like that
Speaker 1: than any other drug. Because the suppose you addicted to heroin,
Speaker 1: and there's places on Earth don't have herod, you could
Speaker 1: be adict to the crack places on Earth don't happen.
Speaker 1: We just in cocaine. It's place on alcohol accepted where
Speaker 1: alcohol is more accepted. And that's the crazier part. That's true.
Speaker 1: That's true. And the whole thing is it's like um
Speaker 1: like alcoholic ship like that drinking alcohol alcohol. But the
Speaker 1: whole thing is that you got to get out your system,
Speaker 1: like this is the system because I want to places
Speaker 1: this ship where dot bill or something like that. My
Speaker 1: hand was taking this, like like what is going on?
Speaker 1: Like it's been times, right, I'll go maybe two months
Speaker 1: without drinking, but there'll be days I stayed up late
Speaker 1: and I wake up with a hangover, but I never
Speaker 1: drink right. It's like I'm just that was what that
Speaker 1: is withdraw That's the hardest. You know, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't hang out late unless I'm drinking. So every time
Speaker 1: I'll hang out late and I wouldn't drink right, but
Speaker 1: I'll just hang out late a p someone's in town
Speaker 1: because it's Miami is a party town. And let's get
Speaker 1: you an example. Let's say Nas is in town. Nas
Speaker 1: hit me late and he got Club eleven at three
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. I'm not used to hanging out
Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning. But this is my friend.
Speaker 1: He's basically telling me to come hang out with him.
Speaker 1: I'll go hang out with him. I'll go chill, I'll roll.
Speaker 1: I have this right, I have two or three of
Speaker 1: these PILs. I'm smoking. I'm not drinking at all, but
Speaker 1: the fact is my my mind, I'm so used to
Speaker 1: when I'm out at that be drinking your body environment.
Speaker 1: To get me wrong, I'm not actually hung over. I
Speaker 1: feel hungover. I'll wake up. I was like, ohh and
Speaker 1: I'd be like because I feel like those hours relate
Speaker 1: as associate that off for this even serious because it's
Speaker 1: still but it's still want to I just want to
Speaker 1: say this. It's the harder to people that's really trying
Speaker 1: to healthy yourself. You know what I'm saying. You gotta
Speaker 1: get the physical part. Like I said, my hand was
Speaker 1: shaking and all that ship that means physically unhealthy. So
Speaker 1: basically we went to the classes and everything. They ain't
Speaker 1: teach me ship that I ain't know, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But once you get like like two or
Speaker 1: three weeks or a month and everything where you cleanse
Speaker 1: your system and get it out of you and eat
Speaker 1: right and drink water and ship like that. Like I
Speaker 1: look at it. This ain't ain't no attraction, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like right right, it's just licking for y'all.
Speaker 1: You know what saying. It ain't nothing. But I recommend
Speaker 1: people to just go on a straight what you call
Speaker 1: fast fast fast little fast fast, you know, and get
Speaker 1: around people that ain't going to tice you the funk up,
Speaker 1: you know, happy I have to watch versus oh yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah with the licks go. I guess right off
Speaker 1: the top people are gonna say how that already got something?
Speaker 1: We were talking about this. We want to say how
Speaker 1: Glymphis people want? So I think that's a good matchup.
Speaker 1: I think something you don't want to spoke Channel live.
Speaker 1: I ain't getting got let's get and that's my nose.
Speaker 1: But you know who they don't go to love O God,
Speaker 1: that's it. Rung off. You can do that keeps That
Speaker 1: was hard breath control was was very open right now.
Speaker 1: But that's funny y'all say that because I I was
Speaker 1: in a studio all the nights. Somebody, somebody but us,
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm sorry. That's a good one. That's I
Speaker 1: just feel like it just makes someone something. Man, it's
Speaker 1: like too much word, yeah, beat not too much, not enough.
Speaker 1: Whoever it is, everybody to find me, like you know
Speaker 1: how you gotta be beat it because the hyperoglyphics. That's
Speaker 1: a homeboys and everything. But my homewoy caught me a
Speaker 1: couple of like do it four days ago and he
Speaker 1: said that cats Will kind of disrespected the Licks legacy,
Speaker 1: like we weren't we to do first with him something?
Speaker 1: The whole by the line I was, I wasn't in
Speaker 1: the studio that night. I went to the studio that night,
Speaker 1: and I was really working on this whole other song.
Speaker 1: But just rustle boys for Cats with the Higher because
Speaker 1: it's like, man, that's how the fear the dawn. It's
Speaker 1: not after the high. Man. I love them dudes, and
Speaker 1: I love that girl life thanking that casual house. But
Speaker 1: I'm just some m C ship this year manute and
Speaker 1: I heard that, and so for me, to let that
Speaker 1: slide yourself or someone told you know, somebody told me,
Speaker 1: but I just said, in case it's true, I wrote
Speaker 1: a verse. You know what I'm saying. But the whole
Speaker 1: thing is, it's just it's just like, can we hear
Speaker 1: the verse? You know, respectable, I don't remember that ship.
Speaker 1: I got it, but what the meason, It's like this
Speaker 1: shout out the Casual with the high row and all
Speaker 1: that ship. This is like to beat the best, you
Speaker 1: gotta beat mean, be the best, you gotta beat the best.
Speaker 1: We've been hearing that ship so many years, just like
Speaker 1: I was just wait for like I couldn't think of
Speaker 1: nobody else. And you both, y'all are such a pillar
Speaker 1: and that's why that's why they don't hate you disrespect
Speaker 1: He's feeling better than that. I'm come back and that's it. Ah,
Speaker 1: this ain't no blind side ship. I'm just saying. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that's what I heard. And I've heard Casual
Speaker 1: Brad we went on tour together and all that stuff
Speaker 1: about he can't be touching on the mic and all
Speaker 1: this and everything. So you know, I just I just
Speaker 1: see a little I just like it. Just what I
Speaker 1: made is that it could be high Road the whole
Speaker 1: crew against the whole liquid crew. That would be ill will.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where we did the liquid
Speaker 1: cool thing. There's no disrespect to highways, there's nothing. This
Speaker 1: is not a blind side trying to taste, nothing like that.
Speaker 1: I've been feeling like that a long time that we
Speaker 1: need to get it on, saying that the least little
Speaker 1: liquid crew, but the legal and we go back with
Speaker 1: the Liquid cool deep, the whole tree, the whole whole
Speaker 1: because extensive. I mean it starts with Kington and there's us,
Speaker 1: and then there's Exhibit exhibited, there's the far Ride, there's
Speaker 1: uh is that that came associated with us A lot
Speaker 1: of people A Yeah, Blue Pack, Mad Live like the
Speaker 1: native chunk of the West Coast as good, absolutely mad
Speaker 1: lid and we discovered and put out on our first album.
Speaker 1: You know, um ship it Stylistic Jones. Yeah, we got
Speaker 1: a lot. Man, what's your trial quests? You said, what
Speaker 1: what's your battles? T Now, No, he's not without fight, dude.
Speaker 1: I mean, battles are real battle. But they got they
Speaker 1: got they got the I like the music too much
Speaker 1: like I would, I wouldn't be a little want the
Speaker 1: school like we do firsts. We do first of all highwall.
Speaker 1: I welcome that and uh think about me, I'll be
Speaker 1: hard Nubian. What's that brand that'd be like you know,
Speaker 1: saying the sounds. I think that hygrow when the alcohols
Speaker 1: be the best set up right now, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think and you But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: for the fans, Like yeah, that's all anybody for the fans,
Speaker 1: you know, But we got some ship. Our catalog is
Speaker 1: we said that right, we don't have anybody. I don't
Speaker 1: know what I mean. What I meant by that was
Speaker 1: accept them too. That's a good one, A good one.
Speaker 1: Like we got different crowds though, like like people sleep
Speaker 1: on the licks because like we don't like they don't
Speaker 1: call us for a lot of like I got song
Speaker 1: with Snoop Dads all of them, but they don't really
Speaker 1: call us for like like a lot of West Coast ship.
Speaker 1: Like we we out of national content. So and we
Speaker 1: lease hundreds of thousands of little pockets of alcoholic fans everywhere,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, like we gotta overseas
Speaker 1: and like Japan and all these different things. But our
Speaker 1: sounds is different, but I would be falling the battle.
Speaker 1: Then we got it. We have a call out, man,
Speaker 1: so we you know, because they they know by the
Speaker 1: West Coast, we love by the West Coast. I think
Speaker 1: they fans our fans, you know. And this is one
Speaker 1: more said one boy. I don't say alcoholic CNN. How
Speaker 1: about MLP. Oh that's a different one too. That's how
Speaker 1: different they love. I think Sonica doesn't make sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think it doesn't really match up what you
Speaker 1: think about it. Fab and Jada Kiss makes no sense
Speaker 1: in the world. It's just in the sense of hip No,
Speaker 1: that does make sense. What doesn't all commercial records and not.
Speaker 1: But the way that they rhyme does make sense. There.
Speaker 1: That's Rome pattering versus Rome content. You know what, Maybe
Speaker 1: MP might act what I'm trying to say, Like, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about the way that the group's rhyme. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: actually it does kind of. Yeah. What I'm trying to say, like,
Speaker 1: you guys to thinking content, you guys to think in
Speaker 1: you guys, coach, I'm just saying in general, you guys
Speaker 1: are thinking content. You guys, I'm not thinking that. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking pure hip hop, pure hip hop, just one fucking Mike.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, dreams because because and then there
Speaker 1: are two Mikes or whoever and the DJ. I'm not
Speaker 1: thinking about Scooper scrap. I'm I'm thinking about fucking you know,
Speaker 1: the other people that's gonna come out dancing. I'm not
Speaker 1: thinking about I Love with Kane Dead with crazy legs.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about that part. Just thinking about bars, party music,
Speaker 1: hype music, just going soul for so it might pay
Speaker 1: be some fun though. That would be, but that's not
Speaker 1: something I ain't never thought about. Makes more sense, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they gott down now that, now that I think
Speaker 1: about it, the way that coming back, I'm not come back.
Speaker 1: I'm coming back and coming back because I'm thinking. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about the run style, all right, it'd be entertaining.
Speaker 1: How about have you guys ever worked with Della no Man?
Speaker 1: We were supposed to man right before he got sick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I talked to Della Man. We had so much ship
Speaker 1: going on, like and it just it just never happened.
Speaker 1: You know. Um, I would have loved to work with
Speaker 1: any of course, one of my one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: you know, producer wise, but never happened. It's never happened unfortunately. Okay,
Speaker 1: now could I go to my ferrail question? You can
Speaker 1: actually no, you can't hold upon so Jesus y'all the
Speaker 1: first one of the first series signed Aloud, right and
Speaker 1: then mob deep? Yeah, how was it relaxed? Buddy? Wait? Wait,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, who's the two cool? I said that
Speaker 1: saw it before y'all okay, and then after y'all was
Speaker 1: small after us. No, I'm just saying that. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that. I'm not saying exactly who was about that? No, no,
Speaker 1: no ship it no, no exhibit came because of y'all. Know,
Speaker 1: didn't come after you. You can't wait after. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: because of y'all picking out our second time, after our
Speaker 1: second album, because because album was that it was because
Speaker 1: of the alcoholics right there. Yeah, I executive produced his
Speaker 1: first two albums and brought him aloud. I won't try
Speaker 1: to say the it comes in and would change and
Speaker 1: s that in there? How was that environment? It was incredible, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was in I feel like there's hip hop and
Speaker 1: then there's that culture y'all cultivated with it was though
Speaker 1: it was a trip he was on that jam, but
Speaker 1: that time, that's the second label. That's what I remember
Speaker 1: sitting there in meeting and Ship, like the executive meet
Speaker 1: with Loud and all this Ship, and they were just
Speaker 1: going ahead and with depth jam. You know, I'm saying
Speaker 1: that Steve, I don't know if Steve calling Steve calling

Speaker 1: But if you notice they signed a red Man, he
Speaker 1: signed Eximmy, they signed soon so we signed Alcoholics, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: So if you look at the pattern the Jam, the ship,
Speaker 1: we signed this they signed that. You So that was
Speaker 1: like a competition thing going on that I don't even
Speaker 1: know about it until like after a third album and Ship,
Speaker 1: but you know, but so how was that environment? Family man?

Speaker 1: Like I tried to take a few people to Steve
Speaker 1: at Uh. Eminem was one of them. Yeah, that one
Speaker 1: he he passed on and sut up he passed on Eminem.
Speaker 1: He didn't sign it. And the same trip Eminem was
Speaker 1: out there, I played him and ship like I had
Speaker 1: with Paul. That's just to Detroit. Paul was managing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but but this was early and Paul had brought us
Speaker 1: to Detroit to do a show. Paul was throwing shows
Speaker 1: too at the time, and he was a lawyer. So
Speaker 1: we went out there and Paul comes to pick us
Speaker 1: up and in his path find whatever it was, and
Speaker 1: he takes take us around and he takes us to
Speaker 1: the record store where Eminem improofing all of them would
Speaker 1: be wrapping all in Detroit. Yeah, and Detroit, and we
Speaker 1: met them and this guy he was rapping, and we
Speaker 1: got the demo tape, so we started playing it like around.
Speaker 1: I had a hotel room. Rap life came out and
Speaker 1: he brought ming into my hotel room and yeah, like
Speaker 1: and when it got in Grey's hands. Um king T
Speaker 1: was signed uh to at that time, Um Dre had
Speaker 1: just put out fucking Um I forgot yeah, right after
Speaker 1: the firm didn't do it well, it was it was
Speaker 1: West Coast afternoon, it was I think it was it
Speaker 1: was after Man. I'm not sure, can you it was
Speaker 1: after Man and then um, So that didn't do as
Speaker 1: well as they wanted. For Dr Dre did good. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know it was dope, but for doctor you know
Speaker 1: your Dr Dre, your your fucking standards are way up
Speaker 1: here and there, your expectations are way up here. So
Speaker 1: he didn't reach that threshold. And next next up the
Speaker 1: bat was King T, who had who Dr Dre and
Speaker 1: King T had been the students probably did like dirty
Speaker 1: songs Um and Dr Dre had the decision like once
Speaker 1: this once he got ahold the Eminem ship, he was like, uh,
Speaker 1: it's got yeah, I got that k snippets right. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so he rolled the dice in fucking you know, Eminem
Speaker 1: took off. But he did let KINGT get his masters,
Speaker 1: let him do whatever he wanted with it, and that's
Speaker 1: unheard of. So you know sidetrack story, the guy who
Speaker 1: created our logo. He's scam. Oh yeah, scam from Miami

Speaker 1: so we're gonna do think it's dre and quick. Right,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, cheers, alright. I love how it turned into.
Speaker 1: Did you make it? Block this down? Don't don't do that.
Speaker 1: You gotta drink it down. You gotta take it down
Speaker 1: the port on the floor. Okay, you're ready menace to
Speaker 1: society or boys in the hood. Oh boys in the hood.
Speaker 1: Bo Okay, I can respect that. Loyalty or respect. That's
Speaker 1: a tough one. Okay, respect, I'm gonna respect loyalty. Only
Speaker 1: last so long with some people. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like some people are just loyal for expect who do
Speaker 1: something stupid. They Yeah, but respect from and I mean
Speaker 1: from one bird. Like you know what I'm saying that
Speaker 1: you can be a respected person like this guy right here.
Speaker 1: It might be like I don't respect you, but then
Speaker 1: so what you ratter have a loyal person that don't respecting.
Speaker 1: I don't want that at all. But you know, loyalty
Speaker 1: is so you said, no, we both said respect. I
Speaker 1: want to take a shot too. I'm thinking much loyalty
Speaker 1: is a motherfucker too, though, manage to think about it.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one cause there's the time you gotta
Speaker 1: have both for that. Yeah, they mean you know you
Speaker 1: know what? Yeah, question, but one really doesn't exist without
Speaker 1: the other in real life. Like you know, so many
Speaker 1: people say, you know, respect and you know, respect sometimes
Speaker 1: come with fair right, Like you know a lot of
Speaker 1: people like if there's a C, if there's Steve Rick
Speaker 1: sugar Night, sometimes you might respect you more than you
Speaker 1: respect Steve. Right. Doesn't mean you don't respect Steve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we still respects THEE, but I respect You're just scared
Speaker 1: of That's what I'm saying. A lot of respect comes
Speaker 1: with fit, but don't respect though that's sometimes sometimes it does.
Speaker 1: Why I think the two are are separate. To be honest,
Speaker 1: it's separate. But but what I say, and sometimes sometimes
Speaker 1: that respect element when a person respect all right, cool,
Speaker 1: a person could come and bail you out of jail, right,
Speaker 1: but a person could never shoot back at your the ops.
Speaker 1: I don't think that same respect is that respect is
Speaker 1: because the person that shoots back with your ops, you
Speaker 1: probably have a more respect for you for that person.
Speaker 1: But when you get to jail, that person that shooting
Speaker 1: at your ops ain't got no money, so it's a
Speaker 1: different thing, you know. I feel like, no, I feel you.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like sometimes I think anything
Speaker 1: both of them together. That's that's my pick, both of
Speaker 1: them together all but I understand that is coexisting in
Speaker 1: separate directions, but I prefer them to exist. And but
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like, I feel like respect is
Speaker 1: for the most part forever, like if you're respected, like,
Speaker 1: oh's you can do, you can respect you. Though I
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes loyalty and then it's not really true loyalty.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's what what I'm saying is sometimes loyalty
Speaker 1: only goes so far. You know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: loyalty has has has a price on it, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes you can that that can be swayed.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Respect is solid like concrete.
Speaker 1: But stop respecting to what the y'all have just said
Speaker 1: that y'all have said at some point you could do
Speaker 1: something for me to not respect you. Right, Yeah, So
Speaker 1: both and so both of them have an expression day
Speaker 1: at some point. You know what I'm saying, You've got
Speaker 1: something to say. What you like. True loyalty and true respect.
Speaker 1: It's about standing in the principle. So when people respect
Speaker 1: you and are loyal to you, it's not that they're
Speaker 1: loyal to you, the loyal to the principle you stand
Speaker 1: in the situation. In any situated principles, when people know
Speaker 1: that you you stand for a certain thing and they're
Speaker 1: in line with that certain thing, it's not about you.
Speaker 1: It's about that. I agree. It's loyalty and respect is
Speaker 1: hand to hand. Yeah, that's that's what I say. Like,
Speaker 1: like me, loyalty, I just fun with any restaurant. I
Speaker 1: love the restaurant that foxs with me back. But the respect.
Speaker 1: It's like when I go to Paris and I go
Speaker 1: to Hotel Cold Seas, they treat me like ship. But
Speaker 1: I love their food, so I respect. It's like you're
Speaker 1: taking that ta like they treat Kim Kardashian like ship.
Speaker 1: They just do. You know these French people that I
Speaker 1: walk into the restaurant, they're like and then you tipped
Speaker 1: them like what they over there city though I hated,
Speaker 1: I would not go there, like after my first visits there,
Speaker 1: I never wanted to go back. I thought they were
Speaker 1: We had some good times actually over there, but that's
Speaker 1: what they would act like. They didn't know English and
Speaker 1: they really did like that. It was very I didn't
Speaker 1: feel what bla, not at all. As as the more
Speaker 1: I traveled there and got to know the people and
Speaker 1: know how they were, I came to love it. So
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I love I love it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but I had cases where I got the elevator with it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know yourself. A lot of places you
Speaker 1: spelled crazy crazy one elevator. He didn't my homie down

Speaker 1: with him, but he wasn't on it. He had no
Speaker 1: input on those records. Right first, That's the first thing
Speaker 1: he said to me. He said, no one is me input,
Speaker 1: no one gives me credit. This is the first person
Speaker 1: who's going to do that. It's gonna We're gonna be
Speaker 1: number one. And I'm the hot dude. I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: with this guy. He gotta take the shirt, choker and ship. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking like and I want to opposite bag
Speaker 1: of beans. No joke so good, and I just I
Speaker 1: just said I believe you. But anyway, it's not um.
Speaker 1: So he basically came to my crib played me the
Speaker 1: two records. I was like, it's not really our sound,
Speaker 1: but you your vision, like you know at this time,
Speaker 1: I'm doing it everything. I'm like, I'm like the main guy.
Speaker 1: You're producing everything from producing everything, and they follow you.
Speaker 1: Guys are following j Row and you are following his
Speaker 1: lead right correct, doctor side? Yeah, yeah, I'm making all
Speaker 1: making every beating at the time. That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like y'all like whatever he's telling y'all on the production,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I want you to keep your thought,
Speaker 1: Just keep your thought. But what make you even think
Speaker 1: about working with the outside producer? Because you could say,
Speaker 1: I want to keep all this money for myself, right,
Speaker 1: because I'm really humble, bro, Like I was really like
Speaker 1: if honestly, when it came down to if they like it,
Speaker 1: I love it for the group. I wonder what's what's
Speaker 1: best of all of us? Um just at the time,
Speaker 1: we were we're popping at damn there as hard as
Speaker 1: you can on the level we are like underground if
Speaker 1: you want to say, now you guys were more than underground. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying, like real hip hop ship.
Speaker 1: You know we were at we're at the point where
Speaker 1: we're like, yo, we either gonna go for it or
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay. You know what I'm saying, We're trying
Speaker 1: to do bigger, bigger ship. For that was doing bigger ship.
Speaker 1: He fussed with us. We love this ship. Let's see
Speaker 1: what happens. You know, if it works, it works, if
Speaker 1: it doesn't. We got more records Parrell. We went to
Speaker 1: UH to Virginia. We called after I played with him,
Speaker 1: and I had to convinced him and j Row like, yo,
Speaker 1: this is this might change some ship. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They were like, the same beat, the same record, okad,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this though I remember distinctly. I
Speaker 1: was a telling Swift. I like, man, I don't really
Speaker 1: sound like all type of ship and everything I said,
Speaker 1: I said, uh. I said something like see if you
Speaker 1: get some more beats out of him and this and
Speaker 1: that and till I send a couple of boy variations
Speaker 1: or whatever you call it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: just so we can see what else he got. And
Speaker 1: Swift was like, nah, man, he said, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a hit bass record. And he said why She
Speaker 1: said for real, saying that when when you play this
Speaker 1: record when you're going live, He said, to that record, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got like different freestop ship. But I remember we
Speaker 1: went to UM. We flew to Virginia and take the tube.
Speaker 1: I knew he was cracking with your ship, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I didn't like to beat, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm saying that I didn't like that, but
Speaker 1: I like Joe beat to get on. I'm saying it
Speaker 1: was y'all. Beat was harder to me. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you this, for Real sold that ship like for real
Speaker 1: was like and he made me he did a producer
Speaker 1: like you got about how HETEs selling. He saw because
Speaker 1: he told us, look, when you start doing this show
Speaker 1: live and shows, bitch is gonna get on stage and
Speaker 1: pull their titties out. He said, don't do this song
Speaker 1: without bitches on stage. And ever since day, like for real,
Speaker 1: this is like And in the first the first show
Speaker 1: we did and we did that song what happing crack
Speaker 1: that's all, that's all, that's all pop all like that.
Speaker 1: This guy's a visionary and we started calling everyone with ye.
Speaker 1: He saw he had the vision bro, and we went
Speaker 1: with it. Work so and it was in the day.
Speaker 1: But that's all the most records we ever sold single wise.
Speaker 1: Now let me just ask y'all, because at the time
Speaker 1: Loud is very heavily produced by you, produced by Havoc,
Speaker 1: Havoc reduced by Risim. Was that like a discrepancy? Bringing
Speaker 1: it back to the table and saying, Yo, Steve, I
Speaker 1: wanna you know with a person that I heard, you know,
Speaker 1: do on something outside of the camp at was very
Speaker 1: self contained at Loud like we were looking from the
Speaker 1: outside in. But even exhibit out, like you said, you
Speaker 1: produced that, so we're looking like we we like like
Speaker 1: I think the FN just alluded to that. We thought
Speaker 1: you broke a zippo in it. Exhibit was already probably okay, No,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what. We made that whole process really easy,
Speaker 1: really easy. It's Chris Lidy. Chris Lid made that ship.
Speaker 1: I'm telling Chris was our guy, like crazy, he loved
Speaker 1: us bro like he went to He made it happen.
Speaker 1: That was all Chris Litte all the behind the scenes creatively,
Speaker 1: we was like we got with with for real. He
Speaker 1: came to create play song, but all the ship, the
Speaker 1: politics that made it happen. And Chris was doing some
Speaker 1: consulting with Loud for me and remember this, but but
Speaker 1: but push the T was at our studio say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Martin was doing the song with with withal at that time,
Speaker 1: like it was a it was a camp going on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but now Chris Littie Man arrest. He he made he
Speaker 1: made moves for us on that you know, I man,
Speaker 1: he didn't even represent us. He was had you know,
Speaker 1: we we knew Chris when we went on tour. Our
Speaker 1: first big tour as alcoholics with trial was with tribe
Speaker 1: called Quest and I Saw. So yeah, we developed a
Speaker 1: good relations opening up with firstly was and then we
Speaker 1: started killing ship and then they was opening for us
Speaker 1: a couple of shows, so we would start taking terms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we would take turns with them and they out so
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was a great time. But
Speaker 1: we started on that tour um just as our first
Speaker 1: big ship as an alcoholic. So we started off that
Speaker 1: tour driving ourselves. We rented some Cadillac had all our
Speaker 1: fucking um. Yeah, so we you know, the end of
Speaker 1: that tour, we had a tour bus, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So we we we worked our way up,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, it was it was an experience. The
Speaker 1: power Drink Chance. They all just text us and there's
Speaker 1: a picture with Drake and Kanye West together, got damnit
Speaker 1: knock that's shig. That's very good ship. I mean we
Speaker 1: did that, we did yeah, yeah, yeah, that ship man,
Speaker 1: Luis Papa cheese. So there was no hold back, like
Speaker 1: because although the record is not commercial at all, right,
Speaker 1: but for L's name was mercial because he had the
Speaker 1: success of super Dog. Oh no, by the way, you
Speaker 1: have no idea how many people I brong Forarrell too.
Speaker 1: I brought him to jay Z. I brought him and
Speaker 1: they was telling me that God. They were saying, yo,
Speaker 1: his chain is too tight. They yeah, I said, this
Speaker 1: is this is I know you said that, but they like,
Speaker 1: I forget which one was what, And then the other
Speaker 1: one was like yo, yo man, sure man, he breathed,
Speaker 1: and I'm like what Like, I'm like, yo, I'm the
Speaker 1: furthest thing about thinking about that, because that's the first
Speaker 1: thing that they not chat at all. Chat was around.
Speaker 1: I don't know, bron, but what I'm trying to say
Speaker 1: is was always be in the forefront of the group, right,
Speaker 1: and Parrell wasn't shot Like. The thing about it is
Speaker 1: like I told him, like told him when he sat
Speaker 1: right here with y'all your brothers are sitting right now,
Speaker 1: and I said, do you remember what you told me
Speaker 1: the first time? He goes no, And I said, you
Speaker 1: told me that if I listened to you, I'll go
Speaker 1: number one and you also told me do not close
Speaker 1: my album out album You're beat being the last time.
Speaker 1: And he's so humble now because he's rich and ship
Speaker 1: he's like rich rich, right, so he's so humble that
Speaker 1: he went like this because he could not debate with me.
Speaker 1: He couldn't even fathom of how cocky he was back
Speaker 1: then because the more money he made him more humble.
Speaker 1: That I like that too. What I say that to
Speaker 1: say it is, was there any discrepancies between you and
Speaker 1: the label, between you and you you you fellas to
Speaker 1: say that, you know what, even because that beat is
Speaker 1: not commercial to me at all. That beat this really
Speaker 1: hip hop, but people couldn't tucked it as commercial because
Speaker 1: of the other success of his records prior to that.
Speaker 1: Did you ever receive any backlash for that? Like Ox
Speaker 1: is trying to go, yeah, we got that. But see
Speaker 1: the whole thing that we thought that we thought that
Speaker 1: we're gonna do if we were going to do a
Speaker 1: radio sounding something like that's all the radio song, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, because you know that's the way
Speaker 1: movie Ship, But we said we're gonna do it. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do it our way radio and they sold a
Speaker 1: lot of records, but it wasn't because of radio. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that I'm gonna saying this loud
Speaker 1: let us do what we wanted and that and that
Speaker 1: and that, and that was one of the key things
Speaker 1: that kept us there for fucking tee and twelve. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like we had a in arms, but we didn't
Speaker 1: have an arm. We didn't have nobody sitting in there
Speaker 1: like yo, that's a radio single. That's we turned in
Speaker 1: the album and that was the album. You know, kept
Speaker 1: it there and that was it. It didn't focus your
Speaker 1: career to control, but it was working on at that time,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: go like that for me. Yeah, And that was with
Speaker 1: the every group they you know, Steve trying to come
Speaker 1: and send the studio a couple of times times just
Speaker 1: but it was unnecessary. Like we turned in albums and
Speaker 1: that was it, like, no, go back and fix this,
Speaker 1: go back, we need one of these kind of songs.
Speaker 1: It was. It didn't seem like that. No, No, so
Speaker 1: let's turn to the park where you guys didn't want
Speaker 1: to be out loud. What was that point? Where was
Speaker 1: that a point or was that. It was never point no,
Speaker 1: they said the doors man, they put it the cloth out.
Speaker 1: That was it, and then it was Sony. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then his album came out, His solo album came out,
Speaker 1: Wrap Life, right when that transition happened. Actually, his album
Speaker 1: was already released right when that transition in Loud transitioning
Speaker 1: into Loud BMG, BMG, going into Loud, Sony going into
Speaker 1: the Loud Sony Now, BMG, let you'all do whatever the
Speaker 1: funk you want. I got, I got signed. The Sony
Speaker 1: is a very you got signed stranger, No, no, no
Speaker 1: you because you were you were in in the in
Speaker 1: the in the transition. So yeah, album was technically on
Speaker 1: Loud DMG. Sony bought all them. He took me to Sony.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it was Loud. It was just
Speaker 1: so yeah, So it was. It was, it was, and
Speaker 1: it was. It was just a a weird time for everybody,
Speaker 1: like Loud wasn't used to these kind of merger Like
Speaker 1: it was just weird space, you know what I'm saying. Um,
Speaker 1: once they dissolved the label, then we were on, like
Speaker 1: I do whatever we wanted to know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But yeah, how did you prefer you were to stay
Speaker 1: with Loud, stay with Steve took care of us. That
Speaker 1: was family Steve. Who Who's who's the rich Rich? I
Speaker 1: just said, that's that's the exact name rich like rich.

Speaker 1: they they took care of the artists like Street teams man. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I couldn't have. I wouldn't. I couldn't have asked for
Speaker 1: a better label to be on, Like to really go
Speaker 1: through that whole experience Withheld was definitely things Repkin would
Speaker 1: love to him. Yeah, that's my guy. Just had it
Speaker 1: with him another Oh yeah, give it up a stee.
