Is that similar to similar, 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.400 very very very similar story because we came up under 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:32.160 King t Okaya were originally from Michigan. We're originally from Ohio. 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.480 But you know that was that was earlier in the 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.920 area group the group of everybody, me, me and me 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.840 and at Tasher from from Ohio originally j Ros from 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:47.240 Pecoma in l A.

So when j Rod hooked 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.000 me up with him, I was originally going on tour 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.800 with him, cutting hair at the barber.

Hold on, hold On, hold on something 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:29.280 black memorialized, Yeah, better better together? There you go now, 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.960 But the name King TI once again, we were known 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.560 for drinking. He don't get it twisted. We were drunk. 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.040 Let's be clear, y'all were alcoholics before y'all were called 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.119 alcoholics precisely. But King came up with the name. He 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.800 did me and me and uh and Um Jr. Was 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:45.639 sitting at King's house. He had an idea to have 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.280 a group called Alcoholics. It's gonna be him myself j 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.760 Row and we needed another member, which was obviously Tashed. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.200 He was the illest nigger that was around us, like, 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.359 but he was in Ohio caught up in some bullshit. Wow. 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.080 So I was like, we was like, we gotta get 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.760 put Puttashi in the group. And I was like, I 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:10.640 know what's gonna happen when we Puttash in the group? 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.959 Why does that say that? What is that for? Why 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:20.720 did you say? It was like we got at the 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.879 time he's at the time, he wasn't he got a 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:29.040 strong personality. He was a catastrophe right behind like my 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:33.600 friend tragedy lived up to being a tragedy. But there 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.480 was a people. There was no close second. You know 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.000 what I'm saying. So boom, that's the alcoholic. You know 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.040 what I'm saying. But at that time, we was really 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.000 drinking a lot, like we was doing auder. I don't 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.919 know if you're familiar with the same eyes commercial right, 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.480 we was. We had to contract to act the personal 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.639 question what you're doing Jakobson, We were drinking Yago maestro, 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.800 but we were getting paid by sat Eyes, you know 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.119 what I'm saying. So every month like them too, we 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.280 did all of them, was producing the commercial with me. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.960 They didn't either Snoop On doing his alcoholics, so I 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:07.080 was I don't know about during that time for yea. Yeah, 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.680 so we had the contract with st Os and we're 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.800 doing all them and they would they would pay us 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:15.560 for them. But also every month a fucking semi truck 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.640 would pull up to my cribs and just willing tastes. 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.160 So that doesn't help for anything, help at all. You're 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.240 walking my house and you would just see cases of 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:27.960 forting houses the whole wall. So let me ask you, 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.919 is there difference between O E and st Os? Are 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.159 they both more liquor? They're both liquor of taste? What 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.000 is just trying to do this? Yeah? They were? What 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:43.240 is I just the bottom of the It's definitely definitely 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.920 not good for anything. Step of the bottom of the ship. 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:56.680 Usual reason to get like that, the gold one green 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:01.399 one we first started out. I'm sorry, I don't think 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:05.959 about private stock. You know up okay drink, but they 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.680 take the getting stout bottles and with drink like a 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.240 whole crew with drink half of it down, then report 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.680 getting stout ended, and the whole ship with black. We 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:23.040 bught it black the trail like everybody, everybody, everybody black. 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.800 We're saying, like ten times on the album, we said 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:27.800 we had this thing where every when we was in 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.840 the studio everything, we would drink all the empty bottles 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.600 we're throwing in this closet. And by the time our 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.720 session was over, that ship that you would open it 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.240 over that that by time we finished this album, you 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.159 would open that closet door, and I'm talking about the 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.280 deep closet. Fucking bottles would just come pouring out, you 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:45.160 know what I'm saying. And we were like, oh ship, 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.920 we really alcoholics. But how could you broms. We didn't 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:55.359 write nothing. There was freestyle. How how would you you 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.680 know what? That's what That's what people trip off like 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.960 n season all difference.

So how does Steve discover you 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.360 guys this guy named fade Fabian doving that he uh 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.639 took him with our demo and from there it was 0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:46.959 like it would kind of move faster after that because um, 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:49.920 we had that we had most of the stuff on 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:54.639 our first album we had in demo phases, see what 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:57.480 I'm saying. But we went back in and touched some 0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.680 stuff up. But what happened was we had got um 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.040 a demo deal back in the day. You remember the 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:03.720 demo to give your little money to go in the 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:08.000 studio and see what you got and money, Yeah, this 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.000 is what, this is what A and M Records, And 0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:13.240 we went there and you know, they gave us a 0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:15.120 little couple of days in the studio and we came 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.960 out with like twenty songs and like three days. So 0:25:19.160 --> 0:25:21.320 once they're you know, that didn't work out. We had 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:23.399 that demo tape to shop around. So we went to 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:27.960 Loud Records and like played in the make rooms on 0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:33.840 that demo. The Dude Fade I remember distinctly too. We 0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:38.080 had that demo floating around and Mad Half had a 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.600 studio session and Faye was in there and ferry work 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:46.040 was made. That was the first they had a studio 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.719 session somewhere, and we went to it and I remember 0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.800 we played the demo for Faye at the studio and 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.280 he was like, Steve Riff got to hear this ship man, 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.320 y'all his own one, right, Steve on the west coast 0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.119 of this time. Yeah, he wasn't on the coast when 0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.800 he had the officer. We had an office with one cubicle. 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:05.360 Yeah you know what I'm saying. And it evolved from 0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:08.760 that tosst Yeah yeah, but I think you had officer 0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:10.840 in New York. I don't think not yet. We should 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:13.919 go up there every day thode just like like party 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:20.000 and what years is though when being shot, this is 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:21.960 like the heyday, Like this is the beginning of the 0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:25.720 classic like l A Underground era. Yeah, this is like 0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.600 right right at the custoer where all that like when 0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.880 he was catching glimpses of underground l A hip hop 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:34.960 and it wasn't like the g funk stuff that was 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:38.000 more mainstream we had, you know, it was groups like 0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.800 the Black Eyed Peas and stuff coming from the underground 0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.919 before they had fer Yeah, before all that, like they 0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:47.280 was super hip hop has uh far side and all 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:49.680 them was bubbling on the underground. There was the whole 0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.119 uh good life movement and all that stuff. And then 0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:56.000 once you guys got on liquid contact. Once we got on, 0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.360 we kind of farry. And what happened with us though, 0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.480 man's when we start doing our live shows. We're just 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.399 bringing it all the all the chicks was coming out 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.840 to see us. You know what I'm saying, right, because 0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:10.640 we're liking that's exactly why life skiing all my life 0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:19.480 announcement right, all the all the women started coming out there. 0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.040 It's like, oh, Ship, we can do this hip hop 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:22.960 with the with the women coming out. He's like yeah, 0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:30.520 And it was like Drake is a group said Draken 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:37.760 was her announcement. All announcement later Ship, but yeah, and 0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:39.119 we kind of made our own lane, you know what 0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:42.160 I'm saying. We wasn't really like doing the whole good 0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.600 life thing, but you know, we was kind of doing 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.720 our own ship. And then then I don't know, man 0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:51.520 just took off from there, like yeah, people did y'all think? Because, um, 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:53.960 I mean, y'all could really really help us with this 0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:56.160 argument because a lot of people, a lot of people 0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:02.159 assume or they think that because the East Coast, or 0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:06.040 rather New York at the time, was very essential to 0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:10.680 what was going on that New York show Love. I 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:12.520 know that I know that for y'all to be something 0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:16.760 totally different, So I don't know that to be a fact. 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.080 I know from what I heard you know people, I 0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:20.760 love the licks. You know what I'm saying, like things 0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:24.600 like that, But I don't know your personal story. At 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.280 that time, New York was running the thing. Did you ever? 0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:30.280 It's a two part question. One did you havever performing 0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:33.800 a tunnel? Yes? And then to know we didn't performed? 0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:37.480 But wasn't that I think? Okay, you didn't, did you? 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.880 Every Sunday was Sunday? Sunday? Every Sunday. That's the skinnes 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:46.800 skinned on me by that. It is the bath room 0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.560 with the chicks in it. It's unseex back. Yeah, but 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:51.240 it was. It was like, I don't know, it was 0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:55.360 weird to him because weird just go there every Sunday. 0:28:55.720 --> 0:29:00.680 But did you did you feel New York all day? 0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.400 Like like we spent a lot of time in New York, 0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:07.600 especially me, like I was mastering and mixing in New York, 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:10.480 and I would, oh man where I was Like I 0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:13.520 was everywhere. I was a Sony Studios. I did a 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:15.000 lot of ship at D and D when I was 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:18.400 doing some other stuff with getting to that. Don't mix it, No, 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.160 I didn't mix it d D. I don't mean tracking there, 0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:26.840 just tractor, I know the other few. Yeah, sorry, but 0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:29.760 it was to the point where, like when our music 0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.520 started getting out there, people didn't really realize just because 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:34.960 it's just based off the sound of the music, that 0:29:35.040 --> 0:29:36.560 we was from the West Coast. They thought we was 0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:40.320 from New York somewhere. They just couldn't right. They just 0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:41.920 couldn't figure out what park, you know, I mean, like 0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.400 what b A. I'm like, we don't know West Coast. 0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:46.760 It's because I was super lyric quart at that time. 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:49.000 We didn't really understand. No, I think it was an 0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:51.000 error of it though, that you had Cypers to the 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:56.760 Cypers did their video their first video, so we we 0:29:57.640 --> 0:29:59.960 it was different from them, like CERs we said we 0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:03.200 we didn't. It wasn't like we assumed. But the first 0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:06.520 shot we saw it was in actually our second video, 0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:13.320 our second video, because you see my first video from 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.600 the Real Estate, which video you're saying for Cyprus with 0:30:17.760 --> 0:30:26.200 the first video I ever saw up he was because first, well, 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:31.960 I see killer Man. I just see that. I didn't 0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:35.640 see that video music Box was Killing Man and they 0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.360 was in New York, so there was no way that 0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:40.640 first of all. But if you're listening to lyrics, you 0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:43.400 know it's not They're not from Blood I did, okay, 0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:51.480 and too, I never even knew what the Mexican was. Mexican. Well, well, 0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:54.720 I only identified with Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. So if 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.400 it wasn't part of the Dominican, if you was Latino period, 0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:00.200 I put you in that category. And I'm Latino. So 0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.440 when I looked at Cypress Hills, I automatically said, well, 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.320 I supported to this all. We'll never I did the 0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:09.719 fire with them. I never heard that, you know when 0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:11.440 they were So you're just not listening to any of 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:15.800 the lyrics, You're just I don't know what he's I've 0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:22.280 just ProMED out that. But then we really plus don't 0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:29.440 mind our arguments and about this, really really really with 0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.000 thought some confusion in the mix of us being from 0:31:32.000 --> 0:31:35.840 the West Coast. Our second video was the song Liquid 0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:39.520 and Only when I'm Drunk. Ralph McDaniels directed that ship, 0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:43.880 and we filmed that ship in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, that's okay. Wait, 0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:45.200 wait really quick, I just want to say something. I 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:46.680 just want to make a statement. I want to know 0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:48.360 this hold on the state. This is the thing. This 0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.080 is the problem that whenever something is lyrical, it has 0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:54.520 to automatically be assumed it's New York. And that's the 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.680 problem here. That's the problem we're having him, that's the problem. 0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:01.840 That's an argument. We always had something. Oh it's gotta 0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:06.040 do you see it when you are We're good okay. 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:08.600 And that's the that's the thing that I've always argued 0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:12.680 because from Miami, I was always arguing and advocating lyricist 0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.960 as well. You know, if you're a certain lyrical that 0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.800 oh no, no, that is East New York Star were 0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.080 talking to Miami. But what is lyrical over is what 0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:27.280 you're talking about head because no people saying people work playing, 0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.280 they say I'm lyrical all the time. You are to 0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.120 think about that. I'm just wrapping about beer and party 0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:40.040 this ship. But when you put it, yeah, well object, 0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:43.040 that's the way you're not just saying my leg I 0:32:43.160 --> 0:32:44.920 beg yeah, you know what I'm saying. We're just doing 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:53.120 on my lap, like we gott get pleased, holy ship, 0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:55.880 this is a new tax. Like for really it was 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:58.840 years I couldn't get this motherfucker to smoke with a ship. 0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:00.600 He couldn't get me to drink beer. And then and 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:02.760 then when he started like smoking weight, I was like, 0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:07.880 that's so what was you know, being that we gonna 0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.040 drink chat the moment where you said, you know what, 0:33:10.520 --> 0:33:14.600 I'm gonna slow down on drinking. I mean, like, um, 0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:16.600 I don't think it was one moment. I think it's 0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:22.000 more like accumulation of a whole bunch of moments. Good anything, 0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:28.440 don't let me, but like, um, I just felt like, well, 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.280 a big part of it. I met a girl, right 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:33.840 And sometimes you know they say you've got spiritual I mean, 0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:36.200 what's called the partner of life, partner of whatever I 0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:39.360 think I was called. Uh yeah, So I met this 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.600 girl name Michelle and everything. And you know when I 0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:44.479 realized that that, um, I was sucking up a lot, 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:46.920 you know what I'm saying. And in fucking up, it's 0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:48.880 gonna people that it's gonna be people around you that 0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:52.320 tell you, look, you're sucking up. Always gonna be people 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:54.600 that encourage you to funk up more so they look better. 0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:57.760 So I realized like a whole like um, Like, first 0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:00.400 of all, a party for light. I mean this is realistic, 0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:02.080 A party for like two of years straight. You know 0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:04.560 what I'm saying, every day non stop? The fifth day 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:06.880 party studio, back to the things. See my kids go 0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:09.040 over here and back to the part. You know, every 0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:11.719 day I was waking up not serious about ship, you know. 0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:16.440 So basically, um, the sweetheart lady, she she basically put 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:17.640 me to the side and said you're better than that, 0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:20.040 you know what I'm saying, and she just you know, 0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:21.719 start up being my friend and everything. But now I 0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:24.000 realized that you need more people like that, you know 0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:26.799 what I'm saying, Like I never thought about relationship, but man, 0:34:26.880 --> 0:34:28.040 you know, I mean, I don't know the pointy to 0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:30.239 and say, you know what we do, but you don't 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:33.319 do that. Okay, put over there. But you know it's 0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.239 probably some married people in the crowd right here, but 0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:41.680 they'll tell you that these are players. Okay, but but anyway, 0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:45.360 that's what really did when somebody when somebody from the 0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:48.120 outside to love you more than you love yourself and 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.680 she would care. Nah, but you know, we literally you 0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:52.480 know what I'm saying, it's a girls ship. Shuff shut 0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:54.800 up and ship. But I'm trying to figure out what 0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:56.839 you've got the key here? Yeah, you got to keep 0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:04.600 we got the half smoke chance we're done smoke right, Okay, Okay, 0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:08.920 let me know, but I'm just saying that, um like, basically, 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:11.239 like there's people out there that's gonna see this ship 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:13.080 too with a problem, you know what I'm saying. So 0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.439 if you see this problem in advance, it's a better 0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:17.879 thing that then you know, you could die from liver 0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:21.120 cancer or something that you but just they like like thinking, um, 0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:23.560 like you know I Red. When they came out, they 0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.840 smoked and they smoked weed, and they let people know 0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:28.840 cypres hell, all the groups that you know, that's what 0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:31.560 they land. What's the first thing you want to do 0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:33.680 when you see them up the backstage at the crowd 0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:35.400 over here with it, you want to smoke with them. 0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:38.160 So we got signed pretty much a couple of years 0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:39.759 after high school. You know what I'm saying. We're turned 0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.279 twenty one, we've already rapped. You know, we've got the 0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.160 first album out. We're doing our thing. Everybody we encountered 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:47.479 it was a routine that want to buy you a drink, 0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:49.600 drink it with you and take a picture, you know 0:35:49.640 --> 0:36:02.640 what I'm saying. So back then, no c the Reds. 0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.879 Back then, Yeah, the whole ship look like lines out there. 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:08.359 But make a long story, short, short story, long whatever 0:36:08.520 --> 0:36:10.600 the um you know, it's just a lot of people 0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:12.279 came to me and they pulled me to the side 0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:13.840 a lot and they was like, dude, just like you 0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:15.520 know that that story to me and you just told 0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:18.120 this ship I could have died that night. You know 0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:19.880 what I'm saying, Remember how the thing was looking at 0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.600 But what I mean is if I if I can 0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:24.880 tell I don't not people for drinking this ship year 0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:31.120 to see do your thing. Listen everybody listening to do 0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:32.360 what you want to. But if you see it's a 0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:36.040 problem in moderation, everything you gotta do is embrace the problem. 0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:37.560 You know what I'm saying. Once you embrace it, then 0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.960 you fix it. Okay, allcause like Jabe was not here 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:41.960 right now, but all the talking and complaining about it 0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:43.279 not gonna breathe here. So we gotta make the best 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:44.600 of the hope we get better soon, you know what 0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:46.400 I'm saying. But that's what I did. I said, you 0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:48.880 know what, I checked myself to this um. It's like 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.120 a program. It's not like a rehab when you go 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:53.600 for you know, you stay there for a month or whatever. 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:58.880 It's like I just made a dedication available.

It's a lot of you know, it's not 0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:16.759 by must have been looking fund up, because everybody say 0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:20.759 that to say that, I don't back that. That's what 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:22.840 I mean by niggers. They tell you that. I know 0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:29.239 it was challenging you. We was chelling you in the 0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:34.919 most drunkest place in the world in Vegas, Vegas because 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:38.360 like you know, how like you know some people and 0:37:38.440 --> 0:37:41.520 ship like you you overdo something to stop like the break, 0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:42.799 the hap it or something, you know what I mean, 0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.080 Like some people, Okay, you won't rock bottom. Bro let's 0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.359 just say that, did you see it was a different 0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:50.040 you know, people hit rock bottom, they go broke, they 0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:52.360 do this, they no, no, no, but but spiritually you 0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:54.399 probably hit rock bas I just I just know better 0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:56.360 than that. And just you know, I lost interest in 0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:57.759 the music for a minute. It was like it was 0:37:57.800 --> 0:37:59.560 a lot of buss hit coming out, and I was thinking, 0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:02.120 just like this might not be my land, you know 0:38:02.160 --> 0:38:04.560 what I'm saying. So I started doing other stuff and 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:06.440 I didn't realize that I love hip hop so much 0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:08.239 like funk what everybody I was doing just come back 0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.480 to this. So I took a hiatus, you know what 0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:11.399 I'm saying. So I really the quarantine and all that ship. 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:13.320 It was me just you know, better than myself. This 0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.160 is after you guys did lick nuts. This is after 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:18.680 that now now, yeah, that's probably when he came to 0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:25.640 the realization, like you know, I'm gonna tell you, yeah, yeah, 0:38:26.960 --> 0:38:31.840 Le'm gonna tell you the last time I dropped that 0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:35.879 I caught the tail into that I don't even want. 0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:39.560 That was the lick nuts of the room. But the alcohol, 0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:44.879 I think you was there. But the last time I drunk, 0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:47.000 because that's why to do like if you picture like 0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:49.799 aldi big gonna stay drinking ship. Like the whole thing 0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:51.400 was that I was having. Like I don't regretting none 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:52.560 of that ship. You know I'm saying, tell me, I 0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:54.879 do be great. I take it back. I regret certain things, 0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:57.279 but I had the best time in my life. Man. 0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:02.040 I traveled the world. Absolutely, you still standing. Shot you 0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.840 came off. I got you know, that ship. But but 0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:07.719 what I said was that when you commit yourself to 0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:11.200 better yourself, then when you stop, you start seeing all 0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:13.480 these beautiful things start to popping at your doorstep. You 0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:15.200 know what I'm saying, manage it. But it's my clothes 0:39:15.239 --> 0:39:16.799 company on my back, you know, saying, did you tell 0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:20.120 some of this is you know? And it's not. He 0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:30.320 it's a little little gift for match shot laces in 0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:33.600 the front. Nag, that's two heads that that's fine. Drink 0:39:36.600 --> 0:39:42.200 there you got. But but you're just the man. I'm 0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:53.239 really proud of you, bro like. But but it was 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:57.320 hell um it was hell um um um. It was 0:39:57.360 --> 0:40:00.400 a beauty. It was a great feeling to check that 0:40:00.480 --> 0:40:02.160 monkey off your back. Because now I got I got 0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:06.399 album dedicated. I mean, it still the same party down 0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:09.200 tasking every day, but I'm still talking about drinking and 0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:11.080 she's like that but not me drinking. But I'm a 0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:19.040 professional bartender now and really yeah, I can't get this 0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:21.839 a lip. But um, but back to the thing. Um. 0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.719 I encouraged anybody that knows that they're sucking up, you 0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:28.120 know what I'm saying, to address the problem and get 0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:31.200 it early, because it took me twelve years addressing damn 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:32.919 that went. Remember about to clip out here and ship 0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:35.720 I just had some money and I wouldn't visit it Miami. 0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.640 I liked it, but I out thee let me get that, 0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:40.400 you know what I'm saying. Moved into North Bay Village 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:43.799 over here and ship. So how hard is it right 0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:46.200 after you know, you realize you want to be sober 0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:49.080 and you're still hanging out with a group called the alcoholics, 0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:52.560 because by times not hanging out, you are the group alcoholics. 0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:55.920 I mean I've been times where I like, I do, 0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:59.400 like I just did seventeen days straight drink. Yeah in 0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:06.160 seventeen Yeah, yeah, he's back. You're back to drinking. Yeah, 0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:09.239 that's Kanye. You want to come the days. Yeah, I 0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:12.239 didn't drink something not a good at interview too, because 0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:15.279 I didn't understand Kanye until I saw that interview that 0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:16.840 no people said I made him cool again? Thank you 0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:22.520 what you did? I just did so. But at times 0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:23.800 when I used to want to do that, and I 0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:25.520 used to go to a club called so Be Live, 0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.680 but I used to hang with my friends people that 0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:33.000 was drinking, and I couldn't stand these motherfucker's. Yeah I 0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:36.520 get that. I would come around these motherfucker's will be drinking. 0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.560 If it would be there at nine o'clock with seventeen 0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:45.040 bottles of water. That's not water in the water from 0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:49.600 nine o'clock. That's another thing. By the time we were working, bro, 0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:51.320 They'll just say we were not there. At nine o'clock. 0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.920 We still earlier he was a part of the promotion 0:41:54.160 --> 0:41:56.040 earlier guy to the club, and we would be there. 0:41:56.280 --> 0:42:00.239 And at one point I had to learn how to 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:03.920 readapt myself exactly. So at first I wish to be uncomfortable, 0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:06.239 Like I mean just not I'm playing around when I'm 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.239 saying them, But in general, when I would do these 0:42:09.320 --> 0:42:12.919 thirty days spreads or whatever and I come around certain people, 0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:15.640 I would be uncomfortable. And not only that, I would 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:20.560 judge people. I would like, he is just a little 0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:23.279 bit of spin, is just hanging right there. And you 0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:27.239 would say this about people. I would say about you too. Man, 0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:31.320 you guys I'm saying when I when I would go 0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:34.399 through my sobers right. But what I'm trying to say 0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:37.080 is I had to learn how to readapt myself. I 0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:39.520 had to learn how to say because they're having fun 0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:41.960 and I'm not having I'm still having fun. I'm smoking 0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:44.640 we I'm dancing to the music, but I'm not having 0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:47.360 the type of fun they all because drinking just just 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:50.440 makes you have a little people, it just really just 0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:53.080 making So how did you adapt to that and still 0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:59.160 be a part of this this group the last time? Yeah, well, okay, 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:02.240 the last time I I rapped on stage drunk, believe 0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:06.040 it or not, was that the Loud Records, than I 0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:15.920 remember that was my darkest moment because this was it 0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:19.040 was like it was like I wasn't ever had in 0:43:19.120 --> 0:43:21.520 life did a minute. I didn't ad minute I had. 0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:23.759 I had it so bad that when I was standing there, 0:43:24.120 --> 0:43:25.560 I want to cry. You know what I'm saying. We 0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:28.440 were staying on stage stage because first of all, the 0:43:28.480 --> 0:43:30.640 mother was mad at first because the mother's when we 0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:32.279 went on, we were a little earlier ship and people 0:43:32.320 --> 0:43:36.160 still walking in. So I went into this hit understanding yeah, 0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.120 because the lights ssted on being put on and I'm 0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:43.239 drunk up, but you see this group, you got to 0:43:43.280 --> 0:43:45.400 be feeling in your heart, right, And then we went 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:48.360 on first like it was the first Loud so I 0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:49.759 think it was the first one, but without in the 0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:51.880 first but I don't know who went on. But the 0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:53.920 whole thing is, I'm looking for the light man. I'm 0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:56.399 doing this.

But the rest 0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:22.719 was just you know, like if we want to go 0:46:22.719 --> 0:46:24.399 out of town, we go out of town for let's 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:26.120 say we're going for a day or two of I'll 0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:29.400 just jump on the plane and God anyway, way, like 0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:31.200 it came back when you like two weeks always saying 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.520 what I'm saying, just drunking binges of making music and 0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:36.799 ship like and nobody stopped me. You know what I'm saying. 0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:40.080 Have you ever one of one one of my best 0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:44.520 I'm sorry to just bring this up. I gotta ask you, okay, 0:46:44.920 --> 0:46:48.000 one of my best drinking partners, one of my worst 0:46:48.120 --> 0:46:52.040 drinking partners, because when I realized what we do, it's horrible, 0:46:53.760 --> 0:47:05.239 corrupt it too. Yeah yeah, but one day that's hunger 0:47:05.280 --> 0:47:08.239 of corrupt for like three or four days and I 0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:11.360 realized I never had a moment, so yeah, like I 0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:14.719 was just he's still drinking like that. Now he had 0:47:14.760 --> 0:47:17.040 to commit me. I think I think because he's on 0:47:17.080 --> 0:47:19.640 marriage boot camp and he saw him marriage bout camp. 0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:21.600 But I think he's traightened up a little No, he 0:47:21.640 --> 0:47:24.160 looks good. I see that. People got in this ear too, 0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:27.759 you know, like you. I'm talking about influence on we 0:47:27.880 --> 0:47:33.000 need you'all legends. Yeah, put me on to the partial 0:47:33.040 --> 0:47:36.759 conversation you feel comfortable with your conversation will corrupt and 0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:40.520 about I mean you feel and we home musicition like that. 0:47:40.600 --> 0:47:43.440 I just basically I told him that. And really it 0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:45.040 was more people that that needed to hear it too, 0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:46.279 you know what I'm saying. One like a one on 0:47:46.360 --> 0:47:48.440 one per se. But it was a couple of us 0:47:48.520 --> 0:47:50.200 that because they trip up that I don't drink them one. 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:51.920 I used to be the used to be the buyer 0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.640 supplier to drinker. I come here, I walk in. They 0:47:54.680 --> 0:47:56.000 know I got it in the car, I got it 0:47:56.080 --> 0:47:59.160 over here and this and that, and you know, it 0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:02.840 just got to be a lifestyle with have you. If 0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:05.920 a person is is a real alcoholic, it's like you 0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.920 you drink so much on the normal that when you're 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:13.480 not drinking and you don't you know, it's just like 0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:15.960 the bas said this ship they want that high and 0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:18.000 all this ship it was, it was it was like 0:48:18.080 --> 0:48:20.640 so normal to me. I didn't realize how odd I 0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:22.479 was active until he would come and tell me something 0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:24.880 like you know what I mean or something like that 0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:28.439 than any other drug. Because the suppose you addicted to heroin, 0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:30.879 and there's places on Earth don't have herod, you could 0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:32.919 be adict to the crack places on Earth don't happen. 0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:39.200 We just in cocaine. It's place on alcohol accepted where 0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:42.319 alcohol is more accepted. And that's the crazier part. That's true. 0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:45.880 That's true. And the whole thing is it's like um 0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:53.520 like alcoholic ship like that drinking alcohol alcohol. But the 0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:55.160 whole thing is that you got to get out your system, 0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:57.840 like this is the system because I want to places 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.080 this ship where dot bill or something like that. My 0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:02.440 hand was taking this, like like what is going on? 0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:07.080 Like it's been times, right, I'll go maybe two months 0:49:07.120 --> 0:49:10.480 without drinking, but there'll be days I stayed up late 0:49:10.600 --> 0:49:12.520 and I wake up with a hangover, but I never 0:49:12.600 --> 0:49:22.040 drink right. It's like I'm just that was what that 0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:26.719 is withdraw That's the hardest. You know, I don't I 0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:29.680 don't hang out late unless I'm drinking. So every time 0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:32.000 I'll hang out late and I wouldn't drink right, but 0:49:32.040 --> 0:49:33.839 I'll just hang out late a p someone's in town 0:49:33.840 --> 0:49:36.719 because it's Miami is a party town. And let's get 0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:38.759 you an example. Let's say Nas is in town. Nas 0:49:38.840 --> 0:49:41.000 hit me late and he got Club eleven at three 0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.000 o'clock in the morning. I'm not used to hanging out 0:49:43.080 --> 0:49:44.640 three o'clock in the morning. But this is my friend. 0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:47.080 He's basically telling me to come hang out with him. 0:49:47.160 --> 0:49:49.399 I'll go hang out with him. I'll go chill, I'll roll. 0:49:49.640 --> 0:49:52.440 I have this right, I have two or three of 0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:55.279 these PILs. I'm smoking. I'm not drinking at all, but 0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:58.640 the fact is my my mind, I'm so used to 0:49:58.880 --> 0:50:02.560 when I'm out at that be drinking your body environment. 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:05.040 To get me wrong, I'm not actually hung over. I 0:50:05.280 --> 0:50:08.719 feel hungover. I'll wake up. I was like, ohh and 0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:13.880 I'd be like because I feel like those hours relate 0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:21.279 as associate that off for this even serious because it's 0:50:21.280 --> 0:50:23.960 still but it's still want to I just want to 0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.160 say this. It's the harder to people that's really trying 0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:28.799 to healthy yourself. You know what I'm saying. You gotta 0:50:28.800 --> 0:50:30.520 get the physical part. Like I said, my hand was 0:50:30.560 --> 0:50:32.920 shaking and all that ship that means physically unhealthy. So 0:50:33.480 --> 0:50:36.719 basically we went to the classes and everything. They ain't 0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:38.000 teach me ship that I ain't know, you know what 0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.840 I'm saying. But once you get like like two or 0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:43.600 three weeks or a month and everything where you cleanse 0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:45.160 your system and get it out of you and eat 0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:47.960 right and drink water and ship like that. Like I 0:50:48.160 --> 0:50:49.840 look at it. This ain't ain't no attraction, you know 0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:55.600 what I'm saying, Like right right, it's just licking for y'all. 0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:58.080 You know what saying. It ain't nothing. But I recommend 0:50:58.120 --> 0:50:59.960 people to just go on a straight what you call 0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:04.440 fast fast fast little fast fast, you know, and get 0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:07.480 around people that ain't going to tice you the funk up, 0:51:07.520 --> 0:51:13.439 you know, happy I have to watch versus oh yeah yeah, yeah, 0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:18.879 yeah yeah with the licks go. I guess right off 0:51:18.920 --> 0:51:21.960 the top people are gonna say how that already got something? 0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:24.440 We were talking about this. We want to say how 0:51:24.600 --> 0:51:26.600 Glymphis people want? So I think that's a good matchup. 0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:29.680 I think something you don't want to spoke Channel live. 0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:41.160 I ain't getting got let's get and that's my nose. 0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:47.200 But you know who they don't go to love O God, 0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:55.560 that's it. Rung off. You can do that keeps That 0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:58.360 was hard breath control was was very open right now. 0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:00.200 But that's funny y'all say that because I I was 0:52:00.280 --> 0:52:04.160 in a studio all the nights. Somebody, somebody but us, 0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:10.480 excuse me, I'm sorry. That's a good one. That's I 0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:14.040 just feel like it just makes someone something. Man, it's 0:52:14.080 --> 0:52:19.319 like too much word, yeah, beat not too much, not enough. 0:52:20.760 --> 0:52:24.640 Whoever it is, everybody to find me, like you know 0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:27.040 how you gotta be beat it because the hyperoglyphics.

What's that brand that'd be like you know, 0:55:37.320 --> 0:55:39.520 saying the sounds. I think that hygrow when the alcohols 0:55:39.520 --> 0:55:40.640 be the best set up right now, you know what 0:55:40.640 --> 0:55:44.879 I'm saying.

Our catalog is 0:55:53.080 --> 0:56:00.399 we said that right, we don't have anybody. I don't 0:56:00.400 --> 0:56:01.640 know what I mean. What I meant by that was 0:56:02.480 --> 0:56:05.520 accept them too. That's a good one, A good one. 0:56:06.480 --> 0:56:08.439 Like we got different crowds though, like like people sleep 0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:10.439 on the licks because like we don't like they don't 0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:11.799 call us for a lot of like I got song 0:56:11.920 --> 0:56:14.960 with Snoop Dads all of them, but they don't really 0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:16.960 call us for like like a lot of West Coast ship. 0:56:17.080 --> 0:56:19.759 Like we we out of national content. So and we 0:56:19.840 --> 0:56:23.200 lease hundreds of thousands of little pockets of alcoholic fans everywhere, 0:56:23.200 --> 0:56:25.719 you know what I'm saying. So, like we gotta overseas 0:56:25.760 --> 0:56:29.000 and like Japan and all these different things. But our 0:56:29.080 --> 0:56:31.080 sounds is different, but I would be falling the battle. 0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:33.080 Then we got it. We have a call out, man, 0:56:33.160 --> 0:56:36.960 so we you know, because they they know by the 0:56:37.040 --> 0:56:38.560 West Coast, we love by the West Coast. I think 0:56:38.560 --> 0:56:41.359 they fans our fans, you know. And this is one 0:56:41.400 --> 0:56:47.799 more said one boy. I don't say alcoholic CNN. How 0:56:47.800 --> 0:56:51.560 about MLP. Oh that's a different one too. That's how 0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:54.319 different they love. I think Sonica doesn't make sense. Yeah, 0:56:58.840 --> 0:57:02.120 I just think it doesn't really match up what you 0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:04.439 think about it. Fab and Jada Kiss makes no sense 0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:06.920 in the world. It's just in the sense of hip No, 0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:10.600 that does make sense. What doesn't all commercial records and not. 0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:13.600 But the way that they rhyme does make sense. There. 0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:21.919 That's Rome pattering versus Rome content. You know what, Maybe 0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:25.480 MP might act what I'm trying to say, Like, I'm 0:57:25.520 --> 0:57:28.640 thinking about the way that the group's rhyme. Yeah, and 0:57:28.720 --> 0:57:34.000 actually it does kind of. Yeah.

Yeah, I executive produced his 0:59:55.840 --> 0:59:58.760 first two albums and brought him aloud. I won't try 0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:02.320 to say the it comes in and would change and 1:00:02.400 --> 1:00:08.080 s that in there? How was that environment? It was incredible, Like, yeah, 1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:10.760 it was in I feel like there's hip hop and 1:00:10.800 --> 1:00:14.600 then there's that culture y'all cultivated with it was though 1:00:14.880 --> 1:00:17.880 it was a trip he was on that jam, but 1:00:18.160 --> 1:00:20.600 that time, that's the second label.

And the same trip Eminem was 1:04:05.960 --> 1:04:10.040 out there, I played him and ship like I had 1:04:12.360 --> 1:04:19.000 with Paul. That's just to Detroit. Paul was managing. Yeah, yeah, 1:04:19.040 --> 1:04:21.880 but but this was early and Paul had brought us 1:04:21.880 --> 1:04:24.080 to Detroit to do a show. Paul was throwing shows 1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:25.960 too at the time, and he was a lawyer. So 1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:28.240 we went out there and Paul comes to pick us 1:04:28.320 --> 1:04:30.360 up and in his path find whatever it was, and 1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:32.280 he takes take us around and he takes us to 1:04:32.360 --> 1:04:35.840 the record store where Eminem improofing all of them would 1:04:35.880 --> 1:04:38.880 be wrapping all in Detroit. Yeah, and Detroit, and we 1:04:39.000 --> 1:04:41.840 met them and this guy he was rapping, and we 1:04:41.880 --> 1:04:44.240 got the demo tape, so we started playing it like around. 1:04:44.360 --> 1:04:46.200 I had a hotel room. Rap life came out and 1:04:46.280 --> 1:04:50.840 he brought ming into my hotel room and yeah, like 1:04:53.920 --> 1:04:57.600 and when it got in Grey's hands. Um king T 1:04:57.880 --> 1:05:03.760 was signed uh to at that time, Um Dre had 1:05:03.800 --> 1:05:10.720 just put out fucking Um I forgot yeah, right after 1:05:10.760 --> 1:05:14.800 the firm didn't do it well, it was it was 1:05:15.560 --> 1:05:18.280 West Coast afternoon, it was I think it was it 1:05:18.360 --> 1:05:20.640 was after Man. I'm not sure, can you it was 1:05:20.680 --> 1:05:24.640 after Man and then um, So that didn't do as 1:05:24.720 --> 1:05:29.520 well as they wanted. For Dr Dre did good. I mean, 1:05:29.600 --> 1:05:31.600 you know it was dope, but for doctor you know 1:05:31.720 --> 1:05:34.960 your Dr Dre, your your fucking standards are way up 1:05:34.960 --> 1:05:37.440 here and there, your expectations are way up here. So 1:05:37.880 --> 1:05:41.320 he didn't reach that threshold. And next next up the 1:05:41.400 --> 1:05:44.560 bat was King T, who had who Dr Dre and 1:05:44.680 --> 1:05:46.640 King T had been the students probably did like dirty 1:05:46.720 --> 1:05:50.880 songs Um and Dr Dre had the decision like once 1:05:50.960 --> 1:05:53.400 this once he got ahold the Eminem ship, he was like, uh, 1:05:54.200 --> 1:05:59.000 it's got yeah, I got that k snippets right. But yeah, 1:05:59.080 --> 1:06:03.520 so he rolled the dice in fucking you know, Eminem 1:06:03.520 --> 1:06:05.760 took off. But he did let KINGT get his masters, 1:06:06.080 --> 1:06:08.200 let him do whatever he wanted with it, and that's 1:06:08.280 --> 1:06:12.120 unheard of.

I don't know if he forgotten. 1:29:59.600 --> 1:30:02.000 He probably didn't forget, but that's the time he sees me, 1:30:02.040 --> 1:30:07.639 He's like, yo, what's up with that? Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, 1:30:08.360 --> 1:30:14.200 DJ Quick, I say quick. The reason I say quick, 1:30:15.720 --> 1:30:17.240 D Quick is bad. I don't know if you call 1:30:17.280 --> 1:30:19.960 it the bucket list or whatever, but I've always wanted 1:30:19.960 --> 1:30:22.599 to do a song with quick since like the late eighties. 1:30:22.800 --> 1:30:25.240 You have it, huh, you have it.

Okay, you're ready menace to 1:31:31.760 --> 1:31:42.639 society or boys in the hood. Oh boys in the hood. 1:31:43.760 --> 1:31:51.240 Bo Okay, I can respect that. Loyalty or respect. That's 1:31:51.280 --> 1:31:58.439 a tough one. Okay, respect, I'm gonna respect loyalty. Only 1:31:58.520 --> 1:32:00.559 last so long with some people. You know what I'm saying, 1:32:00.600 --> 1:32:03.200 Like some people are just loyal for expect who do 1:32:03.280 --> 1:32:06.720 something stupid. They Yeah, but respect from and I mean 1:32:07.280 --> 1:32:08.840 from one bird. Like you know what I'm saying that 1:32:08.880 --> 1:32:11.160 you can be a respected person like this guy right here. 1:32:11.200 --> 1:32:14.040 It might be like I don't respect you, but then 1:32:14.160 --> 1:32:16.679 so what you ratter have a loyal person that don't respecting. 1:32:17.520 --> 1:32:21.280 I don't want that at all. But you know, loyalty 1:32:21.400 --> 1:32:27.320 is so you said, no, we both said respect. I 1:32:27.360 --> 1:32:31.280 want to take a shot too. I'm thinking much loyalty 1:32:31.360 --> 1:32:33.000 is a motherfucker too, though, manage to think about it. 1:32:33.120 --> 1:32:36.880 That's a tough one cause there's the time you gotta 1:32:36.920 --> 1:32:38.800 have both for that. Yeah, they mean you know you 1:32:38.880 --> 1:32:47.439 know what? Yeah, question, but one really doesn't exist without 1:32:47.479 --> 1:32:50.160 the other in real life. Like you know, so many 1:32:50.200 --> 1:32:53.920 people say, you know, respect and you know, respect sometimes 1:32:54.000 --> 1:32:56.720 come with fair right, Like you know a lot of 1:32:56.760 --> 1:33:02.880 people like if there's a C, if there's Steve Rick 1:33:04.560 --> 1:33:07.280 sugar Night, sometimes you might respect you more than you 1:33:07.360 --> 1:33:11.000 respect Steve. Right. Doesn't mean you don't respect Steve. Yeah, 1:33:11.120 --> 1:33:13.439 we still respects THEE, but I respect You're just scared 1:33:13.479 --> 1:33:15.240 of That's what I'm saying. A lot of respect comes 1:33:15.280 --> 1:33:19.559 with fit, but don't respect though that's sometimes sometimes it does. 1:33:20.040 --> 1:33:22.160 Why I think the two are are separate. To be honest, 1:33:22.280 --> 1:33:25.560 it's separate. But but what I say, and sometimes sometimes 1:33:25.680 --> 1:33:28.880 that respect element when a person respect all right, cool, 1:33:28.920 --> 1:33:31.360 a person could come and bail you out of jail, right, 1:33:32.120 --> 1:33:34.880 but a person could never shoot back at your the ops. 1:33:35.360 --> 1:33:38.240 I don't think that same respect is that respect is 1:33:38.280 --> 1:33:40.600 because the person that shoots back with your ops, you 1:33:40.680 --> 1:33:43.240 probably have a more respect for you for that person. 1:33:43.560 --> 1:33:46.000 But when you get to jail, that person that shooting 1:33:46.000 --> 1:33:49.560 at your ops ain't got no money, so it's a 1:33:49.640 --> 1:33:52.280 different thing, you know. I feel like, no, I feel you. 1:33:52.439 --> 1:33:56.599 I feel like I feel like sometimes I think anything 1:33:56.680 --> 1:33:59.160 both of them together. That's that's my pick, both of 1:33:59.240 --> 1:34:03.840 them together all but I understand that is coexisting in 1:34:03.920 --> 1:34:06.360 separate directions, but I prefer them to exist. And but 1:34:06.520 --> 1:34:09.439 I feel I feel like, I feel like respect is 1:34:11.320 --> 1:34:14.479 for the most part forever, like if you're respected, like, 1:34:14.640 --> 1:34:20.840 oh's you can do, you can respect you. Though I 1:34:20.920 --> 1:34:23.639 feel like sometimes loyalty and then it's not really true loyalty. 1:34:26.400 --> 1:34:31.599 That's that's that's what what I'm saying is sometimes loyalty 1:34:32.320 --> 1:34:34.680 only goes so far. You know what I'm saying, Like 1:34:34.760 --> 1:34:36.880 loyalty has has has a price on it, Like I 1:34:36.960 --> 1:34:40.240 feel like sometimes you can that that can be swayed. 1:34:40.439 --> 1:34:43.520 You know what I'm saying. Respect is solid like concrete. 1:34:44.360 --> 1:34:47.280 But stop respecting to what the y'all have just said 1:34:47.280 --> 1:34:49.439 that y'all have said at some point you could do 1:34:49.600 --> 1:34:52.600 something for me to not respect you. Right, Yeah, So 1:34:52.720 --> 1:34:55.040 both and so both of them have an expression day 1:34:55.160 --> 1:34:57.599 at some point. You know what I'm saying, You've got 1:34:57.640 --> 1:35:01.759 something to say. What you like. True loyalty and true respect. 1:35:02.680 --> 1:35:06.879 It's about standing in the principle. So when people respect 1:35:06.960 --> 1:35:09.400 you and are loyal to you, it's not that they're 1:35:09.439 --> 1:35:12.160 loyal to you, the loyal to the principle you stand 1:35:12.200 --> 1:35:17.000 in the situation. In any situated principles, when people know 1:35:17.720 --> 1:35:21.160 that you you stand for a certain thing and they're 1:35:21.240 --> 1:35:24.120 in line with that certain thing, it's not about you. 1:35:24.200 --> 1:35:29.000 It's about that. I agree. It's loyalty and respect is 1:35:29.080 --> 1:35:31.320 hand to hand. Yeah, that's that's what I say. Like, 1:35:31.479 --> 1:35:37.080 like me, loyalty, I just fun with any restaurant. I 1:35:37.200 --> 1:35:40.040 love the restaurant that foxs with me back. But the respect. 1:35:40.080 --> 1:35:42.040 It's like when I go to Paris and I go 1:35:42.080 --> 1:35:45.840 to Hotel Cold Seas, they treat me like ship. But 1:35:45.920 --> 1:35:50.680 I love their food, so I respect. It's like you're 1:35:50.720 --> 1:35:59.320 taking that ta like they treat Kim Kardashian like ship. 1:35:59.640 --> 1:36:01.640 They just do.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's where we're in. My 1:41:39.760 --> 1:41:44.800 opinion for Rose two first records was I mean asked 1:41:44.840 --> 1:41:50.760 for yeah records prior to me excuse excuse me at 1:41:50.800 --> 1:41:53.639 the forefront, because yeah, not tunes. He had other records 1:41:53.680 --> 1:41:55.240 with him, but he wasn't on it. He had no 1:41:55.360 --> 1:41:57.680 input on those records. Right first, That's the first thing 1:41:57.720 --> 1:42:00.599 he said to me. He said, no one is me input, 1:42:01.280 --> 1:42:03.760 no one gives me credit. This is the first person 1:42:03.760 --> 1:42:06.560 who's going to do that. It's gonna We're gonna be 1:42:06.720 --> 1:42:09.760 number one. And I'm the hot dude. I'm sitting there 1:42:09.840 --> 1:42:13.080 with this guy. He gotta take the shirt, choker and ship.

No joke so good, and I just I 1:42:22.400 --> 1:42:27.320 just said I believe you. But anyway, it's not um. 1:42:28.120 --> 1:42:31.240 So he basically came to my crib played me the 1:42:31.280 --> 1:42:34.360 two records. I was like, it's not really our sound, 1:42:34.640 --> 1:42:40.040 but you your vision, like you know at this time, 1:42:40.120 --> 1:42:43.599 I'm doing it everything. I'm like, I'm like the main guy. 1:42:43.720 --> 1:42:47.720 You're producing everything from producing everything, and they follow you. 1:42:47.920 --> 1:42:50.000 Guys are following j Row and you are following his 1:42:50.120 --> 1:42:56.479 lead right correct, doctor side? Yeah, yeah, I'm making all 1:42:56.800 --> 1:42:58.400 making every beating at the time.

We called after I played with him, 1:44:05.960 --> 1:44:08.479 and I had to convinced him and j Row like, yo, 1:44:08.880 --> 1:44:11.560 this is this might change some ship. You know what 1:44:11.600 --> 1:44:15.559 I'm saying. They were like, the same beat, the same record, okad, 1:44:15.560 --> 1:44:18.200 I'm gonna tell you this though I remember distinctly. I 1:44:18.320 --> 1:44:19.920 was a telling Swift. I like, man, I don't really 1:44:19.960 --> 1:44:21.840 sound like all type of ship and everything I said, 1:44:22.280 --> 1:44:24.320 I said, uh.

And 1:44:31.640 --> 1:44:33.519 Swift was like, nah, man, he said, this is gonna 1:44:33.520 --> 1:44:35.240 be a hit bass record. And he said why She 1:44:35.320 --> 1:44:37.720 said for real, saying that when when you play this 1:44:37.840 --> 1:44:43.479 record when you're going live, He said, to that record, yeah, 1:44:43.840 --> 1:44:46.160 I got like different freestop ship. But I remember we 1:44:46.240 --> 1:44:49.320 went to UM. We flew to Virginia and take the tube. 1:44:49.960 --> 1:44:51.320 I knew he was cracking with your ship, you know 1:44:51.320 --> 1:44:53.000 what I'm saying. But I didn't like to beat, you 1:44:53.000 --> 1:44:54.519 know what, I'm saying that I didn't like that, but 1:44:54.600 --> 1:45:00.640 I like Joe beat to get on. I'm saying it 1:45:00.760 --> 1:45:03.840 was y'all. Beat was harder to me. I'm gonna tell 1:45:03.840 --> 1:45:05.880 you this, for Real sold that ship like for real 1:45:06.040 --> 1:45:09.120 was like and he made me he did a producer 1:45:09.360 --> 1:45:12.840 like you got about how HETEs selling. He saw because 1:45:12.920 --> 1:45:15.280 he told us, look, when you start doing this show 1:45:15.720 --> 1:45:18.439 live and shows, bitch is gonna get on stage and 1:45:18.479 --> 1:45:21.800 pull their titties out. He said, don't do this song 1:45:21.880 --> 1:45:25.880 without bitches on stage. And ever since day, like for real, 1:45:26.680 --> 1:45:33.439 this is like And in the first the first show 1:45:33.560 --> 1:45:38.120 we did and we did that song what happing crack 1:45:39.439 --> 1:45:41.760 that's all, that's all, that's all pop all like that. 1:45:42.120 --> 1:45:46.640 This guy's a visionary and we started calling everyone with ye. 1:45:46.800 --> 1:45:56.559 He saw he had the vision bro, and we went 1:45:56.640 --> 1:45:59.559 with it. Work so and it was in the day. 1:45:59.600 --> 1:46:03.880 But that's all the most records we ever sold single wise. 1:46:04.080 --> 1:46:06.679 Now let me just ask y'all, because at the time 1:46:08.520 --> 1:46:13.880 Loud is very heavily produced by you, produced by Havoc, 1:46:14.720 --> 1:46:19.920 Havoc reduced by Risim. Was that like a discrepancy? Bringing 1:46:19.960 --> 1:46:22.200 it back to the table and saying, Yo, Steve, I 1:46:22.320 --> 1:46:25.840 wanna you know with a person that I heard, you know, 1:46:26.000 --> 1:46:28.840 do on something outside of the camp at was very 1:46:28.880 --> 1:46:31.720 self contained at Loud like we were looking from the 1:46:31.760 --> 1:46:34.320 outside in. But even exhibit out, like you said, you 1:46:34.439 --> 1:46:37.760 produced that, so we're looking like we we like like 1:46:37.920 --> 1:46:39.960 I think the FN just alluded to that. We thought 1:46:40.000 --> 1:46:45.240 you broke a zippo in it. Exhibit was already probably okay, No, 1:46:45.520 --> 1:46:49.360 I'm telling you what. We made that whole process really easy, 1:46:49.560 --> 1:46:55.880 really easy. It's Chris Lidy. Chris Lid made that ship. 1:46:56.680 --> 1:47:01.479 I'm telling Chris was our guy, like crazy, he loved 1:47:01.560 --> 1:47:04.719 us bro like he went to He made it happen. 1:47:05.200 --> 1:47:08.000 That was all Chris Litte all the behind the scenes creatively, 1:47:08.080 --> 1:47:09.880 we was like we got with with for real. He 1:47:09.920 --> 1:47:12.040 came to create play song, but all the ship, the 1:47:12.120 --> 1:47:17.519 politics that made it happen. And Chris was doing some 1:47:17.600 --> 1:47:21.240 consulting with Loud for me and remember this, but but 1:47:21.560 --> 1:47:24.479 but push the T was at our studio say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1:47:25.760 --> 1:47:28.760 Martin was doing the song with with withal at that time, 1:47:28.880 --> 1:47:31.080 like it was a it was a camp going on. Yeah, 1:47:31.160 --> 1:47:34.840 but now Chris Littie Man arrest. He he made he 1:47:34.960 --> 1:47:36.640 made moves for us on that you know, I man, 1:47:36.760 --> 1:47:39.680 he didn't even represent us. He was had you know, 1:47:39.800 --> 1:47:41.720 we we knew Chris when we went on tour. Our 1:47:41.800 --> 1:47:44.559 first big tour as alcoholics with trial was with tribe 1:47:44.600 --> 1:47:48.960 called Quest and I Saw. So yeah, we developed a 1:47:48.960 --> 1:47:52.240 good relations opening up with firstly was and then we 1:47:52.280 --> 1:47:54.280 started killing ship and then they was opening for us 1:47:54.280 --> 1:47:58.120 a couple of shows, so we would start taking terms. Yeah, 1:47:58.280 --> 1:48:00.240 we would take turns with them and they out so 1:48:01.400 --> 1:48:05.200 it was it was. It was a great time. But 1:48:05.360 --> 1:48:09.639 we started on that tour um just as our first 1:48:09.760 --> 1:48:11.560 big ship as an alcoholic. So we started off that 1:48:11.680 --> 1:48:15.400 tour driving ourselves. We rented some Cadillac had all our 1:48:15.479 --> 1:48:22.360 fucking um. Yeah, so we you know, the end of 1:48:22.400 --> 1:48:24.439 that tour, we had a tour bus, you know what 1:48:24.479 --> 1:48:26.920 I'm saying. So we we we worked our way up, 1:48:27.040 --> 1:48:31.200 you know. Yeah, it was it was an experience. The 1:48:31.320 --> 1:48:34.400 power Drink Chance. They all just text us and there's 1:48:34.439 --> 1:48:37.240 a picture with Drake and Kanye West together, got damnit 1:48:37.320 --> 1:48:43.000 knock that's shig. That's very good ship. I mean we 1:48:43.160 --> 1:48:47.000 did that, we did yeah, yeah, yeah, that ship man, 1:48:47.760 --> 1:48:52.400 Luis Papa cheese. So there was no hold back, like 1:48:52.640 --> 1:48:57.640 because although the record is not commercial at all, right, 1:48:57.960 --> 1:49:01.479 but for L's name was mercial because he had the 1:49:01.560 --> 1:49:06.280 success of super Dog.

They yeah, I said, this 1:49:18.640 --> 1:49:22.519 is this is I know you said that, but they like, 1:49:22.760 --> 1:49:25.080 I forget which one was what, And then the other 1:49:25.160 --> 1:49:29.320 one was like yo, yo man, sure man, he breathed, 1:49:30.080 --> 1:49:33.320 and I'm like what Like, I'm like, yo, I'm the 1:49:33.400 --> 1:49:35.679 furthest thing about thinking about that, because that's the first 1:49:35.720 --> 1:49:40.679 thing that they not chat at all. Chat was around. 1:49:41.360 --> 1:49:48.800 I don't know, bron, but what I'm trying to say 1:49:48.880 --> 1:49:52.400 is was always be in the forefront of the group, right, 1:49:53.439 --> 1:49:57.800 and Parrell wasn't shot Like. The thing about it is 1:49:58.160 --> 1:50:00.800 like I told him, like told him when he sat 1:50:00.920 --> 1:50:02.920 right here with y'all your brothers are sitting right now, 1:50:03.439 --> 1:50:05.120 and I said, do you remember what you told me 1:50:05.439 --> 1:50:09.040 the first time? He goes no, And I said, you 1:50:09.200 --> 1:50:11.479 told me that if I listened to you, I'll go 1:50:11.680 --> 1:50:16.200 number one and you also told me do not close 1:50:16.280 --> 1:50:20.720 my album out album You're beat being the last time. 1:50:21.360 --> 1:50:23.320 And he's so humble now because he's rich and ship 1:50:23.720 --> 1:50:26.680 he's like rich rich, right, so he's so humble that 1:50:26.760 --> 1:50:29.280 he went like this because he could not debate with me. 1:50:29.920 --> 1:50:33.439 He couldn't even fathom of how cocky he was back 1:50:33.479 --> 1:50:35.880 then because the more money he made him more humble. 1:50:36.960 --> 1:50:42.640 That I like that too. What I say that to 1:50:42.720 --> 1:50:46.519 say it is, was there any discrepancies between you and 1:50:46.560 --> 1:50:49.240 the label, between you and you you you fellas to 1:50:49.360 --> 1:50:51.200 say that, you know what, even because that beat is 1:50:51.240 --> 1:50:53.519 not commercial to me at all. That beat this really 1:50:53.600 --> 1:50:57.599 hip hop, but people couldn't tucked it as commercial because 1:50:57.640 --> 1:50:59.880 of the other success of his records prior to that. 1:51:00.360 --> 1:51:03.920 Did you ever receive any backlash for that? Like Ox 1:51:04.080 --> 1:51:06.160 is trying to go, yeah, we got that. But see 1:51:06.160 --> 1:51:07.760 the whole thing that we thought that we thought that 1:51:07.840 --> 1:51:09.400 we're gonna do if we were going to do a 1:51:09.520 --> 1:51:11.640 radio sounding something like that's all the radio song, you 1:51:11.680 --> 1:51:13.519 know what I'm saying, because you know that's the way 1:51:13.600 --> 1:51:15.400 movie Ship, But we said we're gonna do it. We're 1:51:15.400 --> 1:51:18.760 gonna do it our way radio and they sold a 1:51:18.800 --> 1:51:20.640 lot of records, but it wasn't because of radio. You 1:51:20.680 --> 1:51:24.439 know what I'm saying that I'm gonna saying this loud 1:51:25.280 --> 1:51:28.720 let us do what we wanted and that and that 1:51:28.880 --> 1:51:31.360 and that, and that was one of the key things 1:51:31.400 --> 1:51:35.160 that kept us there for fucking tee and twelve. Yeah, 1:51:35.240 --> 1:51:38.559 it's like we had a in arms, but we didn't 1:51:38.560 --> 1:51:41.240 have an arm. We didn't have nobody sitting in there 1:51:41.320 --> 1:51:43.760 like yo, that's a radio single. That's we turned in 1:51:43.800 --> 1:51:46.880 the album and that was the album. You know, kept 1:51:46.920 --> 1:51:48.640 it there and that was it. It didn't focus your 1:51:48.680 --> 1:51:50.760 career to control, but it was working on at that time, 1:51:50.800 --> 1:51:52.439 you know what I'm saying, So you know you're gonna 1:51:52.479 --> 1:51:56.040 go like that for me. Yeah, And that was with 1:51:56.160 --> 1:51:58.400 the every group they you know, Steve trying to come 1:51:58.400 --> 1:52:00.360 and send the studio a couple of times times just 1:52:01.080 --> 1:52:04.840 but it was unnecessary. Like we turned in albums and 1:52:04.880 --> 1:52:07.000 that was it, like, no, go back and fix this, 1:52:07.160 --> 1:52:09.000 go back, we need one of these kind of songs. 1:52:10.280 --> 1:52:12.880 It was. It didn't seem like that. No, No, so 1:52:13.000 --> 1:52:15.280 let's turn to the park where you guys didn't want 1:52:15.320 --> 1:52:19.760 to be out loud. What was that point? Where was 1:52:19.920 --> 1:52:22.320 that a point or was that. It was never point no, 1:52:22.479 --> 1:52:29.720 they said the doors man, they put it the cloth out. 1:52:30.640 --> 1:52:34.320 That was it, and then it was Sony. Yeah. And 1:52:34.360 --> 1:52:36.920 then his album came out, His solo album came out, 1:52:36.960 --> 1:52:41.320 Wrap Life, right when that transition happened. Actually, his album 1:52:41.439 --> 1:52:46.240 was already released right when that transition in Loud transitioning 1:52:46.240 --> 1:52:51.840 into Loud BMG, BMG, going into Loud, Sony going into 1:52:51.880 --> 1:52:54.880 the Loud Sony Now, BMG, let you'all do whatever the 1:52:54.920 --> 1:52:56.880 funk you want.
