There's are times 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.480 when when the world was against like the industry was 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.320 against me, and and doors was closed on me, and 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.919 people was whispering don't fuck with Mega, like so it's 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.000 like I didn't know what I had fans, and then 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.440 I just made music. I just I just tested myself. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.360 Like remember I put out I put out the first 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:31.960 rap mixtape. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.880 Remember before dudes was doing mixtape, I did that when 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.080 I was on Violate on the shelf. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.200 I wanted to see how people felt about me. It 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.960 was like a test. So I put out the Montana 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.040 Way and then it's sold mad units. And then when 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.960 I went on tour with DMX, we used places like 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.160 he just noise but. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.520 Him going on tour with DMX. 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.040 I need you to finish, but I also need to 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.600 ask you how many dates did DMX. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:58.640 Show up to? 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.440 He showed up to every day, every day. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.760 This makes when DMX wasn't crazy. I did a tour 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.560 with DMX. We did thirty two days. He showed up 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.240 for fourteen. But let's finish. Its finished the story you 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:11.640 were saying. So you went on to with DMX. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.080 Yeah, I went on tour with DMX and we went 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.800 to places like Chicago, Detroit, et cetera, et cetera. And 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.240 when I was there, I didn't know people was gonna 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.320 know my music, so I didn't even want to perform it. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.080 But when I did perform, I got up as loud 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.719 as ovation as anybody, so it was like wow. So 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.240 that's when I knew that the mixtape traveled. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.320 So I just what I. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.800 Do is I catered to my audience. So I guess 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.680 that's why I have a lawyer following, because I don't 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.400 change up on them. Like you know what you're gonna 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.760 get when you get a mega album. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.800 Right, and you never really tried to, like make a 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.480 radio record, Is that true or no? 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.080 I never? Well, when I I did make a JOm 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:48.560 with Karl. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.320 Thomas before, Okay, I remember that. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.400 And that was like that was a Chris Lotti move 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.320 recipes to Chris Chris Lootti benefited. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.760 Both of us, That's what I'm saying. That fact. So 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:58.800 I made a joint. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.640 I wasn't comfortable with it, but I didn't hate it. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.160 But it's like if i'd have been on deaf jams, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.200 there's a certain kind of music that I would have 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.680 been having to make that I wasn't comfortable with. And 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.000 when I started doing my own music, just with answering 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.440 to nobody, I was able to do what I want. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:14.120 So I like that. 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.200 You know what I'm saying. I don't want to I 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:16.480 don't want to have excuses for my. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:21.880 Music, right, So you object the course, So let's say 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.279 if you had a choice independent or major, and you 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:25.440 had a chance to do it all. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.239 Over what with that choice? 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.040 And I already had a choice.

That makes a noise to sack me. 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.120 So now I want to ask both of y'all this 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.680 question because I watched Mega on stage and you said 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.600 something that was very ill to me. You said, I'm 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:40.560 not a rapper, I'm a lyricist. Now is there is 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.480 there two different versions of hip hop? 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:43.120 Or is it three? 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.960 Is it hip hop lyricism and then rap or is 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.960 it just hip lyricism falls under the zone of hip hop? 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.960 Come on camera. Guy, Come on, guys, and you got 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.880 a surfboard, so on too. You even got no hip 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.640 hop going on? But but does lyricists fall under the 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:02.600 version of hip hop. 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.480 So it's two different hip hop and rap rap. 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.920 The son you do hip hop son you live, that's fact, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.200 and lyricism falls under the what you do. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.640 It's like, that's interesting. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.520 There's no beat right now. It's our words that carry us. 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.160 It's our words that that that will differentiate us or 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.840 separate us from rappers. You know what I'm saying, And 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.440 it's like a rapper, you don't. You will never re 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.720 rhind memory. They used to be cossetting. We hear something 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.800 that just blew my mind. We used to rewind the ship. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.480 You won't rewind a rapper. You only be ryn lyricists. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:39.720 You want to catch what he's saying. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.280 You know what I'm saying. You were round, big Daddy, 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.400 came cool, you rapped. 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:43.400 You know what I'm saying. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.400 You wind I era queens, you're wind dope mcs. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.160 But a rapper, you're just enjoying it. Most rappers get 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.600 carried by their beat or by their marketing. The lyricists 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.400 get carried by his words. That's why every time you 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.120 notice I do a show, I could drop the music. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.280 I don't need the music and I never use hypemen, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.360 but the crowd is still into it. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.480 Right, that's the difference. That was so hot? 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.959 How you feel about I agree? Yeah, I definitely do. 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.120 Now now, all right? With all this going on? 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.000 Right, you've been on Depth Jam, You've been on multiple 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:14.800 different labels. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.079 Have anybody ever approached you and said, you know what 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.679 Mega or Corey? You know what you guys are doing 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.800 is cool? But why not? Why not? Know? You said 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:26.760 Chris Lady earlier. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.880 But was that the only time or there was other 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.000 times where people try to get you to change your stuff. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.280 I remember when I made the song Testament. When I 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.480 made the song Testament, it made crazy noise in the industry. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.079 You probably remember, yes, sir, I remember Clark Ken. You 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.480 used to come up to death Chair like yo, this 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.280 is the one, like streets. Everybody loved it. And I 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.480 never forget Julie Greenwald. I'll never forget you Greenwall. 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.800 She's at Atlanta Records right now. 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.440 She said this is cool, but you need something hot. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.680 And when she said that, it made my stomach sick 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.079 because I knew that that was a record. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.680 I went hard on that record lyrically. The production was 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.080 crazy and I got respect, you know, as an MC, 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.120 as a rapper, you know, we give we give salent 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.400 praise to each other sometimes to be like, no, you're 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.679 doing this thing, but they might not say it to you. 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.280 So when I did that, that was one of the 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.680 first song where rappers was coming. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.439 Up to me like, yo, that joint is. So I 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:17.320 knew it was strong. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.920 And I knew that from me not having a song 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.520 but being on tour with d m X. That's the 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.240 song I closed with, So I knew it was a 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.480 strong street record.

Basically I don't, I don't, I don't 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.000 like talking about I'm I'm past that that stage. But 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:56.760 he had he got a lot. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.880 Of power, right, you know what I'm saying, and on 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.280 him last week and you think he's coming for us, 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:02.040 but don't worry. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:08.160 We don't care that it's okay. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.560 So basically, once once, you know once certain people. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:14.400 Basically it was like this. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.760 When I first came home, you already know a lot 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:19.400 of stuff that. 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.520 Was going on behind the scenes. I was offered a 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.360 production deal and I didn't. I didn't jump right on it. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.480 I always been a businessman, Like I'm not saying I'm 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.520 Steve Jobs or some ship, but I was. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:31.600 On point with certain things. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.640 Like one of the first books I bought was all 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.240 you need to Know about the industry like that. I 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.240 always had all my publishing, even when I was on 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.040 depth Gym. Get the I own all my masters right now. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.600 I never said the Realness is a classical true mean 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.000 if the fans said it. So there's independent as that 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.920 artists that owned their stuff, but it's your music. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:51.240 Does it matter? 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.760 Like I owned certified classics, I own the Realness Master, 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.160 I own a Testament Mass, I own born and raised masters. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.600 So my kids I could die right now, my kids? 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.360 Is its great? You know what I'm saying. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:01.920 So it's like. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.760 I was on talk of about business. So I wasn't 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.720 on a rushing to sign in a production deal. But 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.400 Steve has like he had like a you know how 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.520 it is, he has a certain way about himself. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.280 All of them got it. Chris got it. Yeah, Yeah, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:16.840 I got it, Mark, Chris got it. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.560 As a man, See, I was considering it doing it. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:20.200 But it's just certain. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.640 It's a drink right there too. That's a little bit 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:23.480 of rose just in case. You know, I mean people 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.680 to let's think about it. Let's think about it ahead 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:27.400 and finish this story. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.920 So as a man, there's certain things you don't say 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:30.440 to a man. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.040 You know what I'm saying, Like, I'm a man at 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:33.760 the end of the day. 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.480 I'm not a sucker that's trying to get on because 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.559 to be honest with you, there was days I have 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.960 more money when I wasn't rapping, when I was doing 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.040 other things. So it's like he Steve is the type 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.760 of person, like he once said to me, like you 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.480 think you would even have a deal if it wasn't 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.959 for us, or like like he says things like that 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.000 that'll make you question yourself. So ifout a signtic, I 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.120 wouldn't have respected myself. So it was like certain things 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.280 and then you already know what happened with song A 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:00.960 Lot Familiar. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.920 But we don't know I'm talking to We don't know 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:05.600 what we want to know. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.880 He told my man biz, if Mega doesn't sign the 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.480 production deal that remix, that other song will be the 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.120 last that you hear of him with the firm. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.560 So I was like, in my mind, I was like, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.680 he's bugging because I'm on a Lot Familiar. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:19.720 So what was he talking about. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.280 I'm thinking like that thing with Lot Familia came out, 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.760 I wasn't on it. They took me off and putting 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:25.440 nature on it. 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.160 So I thought it was a firmative action. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.080 Now I'm on the front of action, in front of 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.800 action the first song. But at the end of the day, 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.520 it is at the end of the day, it's like this, 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.600 Steve is a market ain't genius. 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.160 You know what I'm saying straight up, It's just that 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.960 money ain't everything. Some people are morally bankrupt, most financially rich. 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:47.600 Like a few years ago, he. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:55.800 Did it in a T shirt that was ill, that 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:56.160 was ill. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:57.280 Please continue. 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.920 My thing is this, if I got more like him, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.400 I'm not thinking about a corn Mega. I'm not gonna 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.960 be sending like like in the last I don't know 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.920 how many years ago, it was recent years. He did 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.760 an interview and then he was and he said something 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.160 about me that wasn't too that it wasn't disrespect, but 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.440 I wasn't feeling it. He was trying to name people 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.280 on the firm. He was like they was talented, and 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.080 then he said I was. He said, MEGA wasn't even 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.000 in the firm. It's like you're trying to raise the 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.760 history like like, come on dogs, like I was on 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.560 the front of action, Like so, so what. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.440 Was that that moment that it was the firm was over? 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.560 Like when you stepped away. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.760 You know, But I mean we don't know like I mean, 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.000 I mean like like you know what it is.

But it's like, as 0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:55.360 long as my Pops is good and at the end 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.440 of the day, that's my father, I'm riding with him, 0:28:57.440 --> 0:28:58.320 whether you're wrong or right. 0:28:58.400 --> 0:28:59.800 Oh and he shined it too, he glowing. 0:28:59.880 --> 0:28:59.960 Man. 0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:01.720 I see that nigga the other day and I said, 0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:02.920 you looking like money, but. 0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:05.200 I can't, nigga. 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.920 You know, it's so dope, man, for people to be 0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.240 in this music because there's so many bitter people, you 0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.320 know what I'm saying that been in this music business. 0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.800 They don't because if you don't get what you get 0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:18.800 in this music business, a lot of the times, ninety 0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.440 percent of the blame is on you. You understand what 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:25.240 I'm saying, because there's so many different ways to be independent, 0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:30.160 especially nowadays, especially nowadays being independent, the Spotify shit, the streams. 0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:31.959 I'm gonna be honest, a lot of people don't know 0:29:32.600 --> 0:29:35.960 and jay Z is not paying me, so I'm gonna 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.200 just throw this out there. Put that other bottle roles 0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:44.400 in there. Title has one of the illest formats ever 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.760 for artists like Micah You ever did something through it 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:50.680 out and said, damn, I wish I could actually go 0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:54.040 back in there and we record that title with the streams. 0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:58.600 You can go back in there Kanye and Kanye is doing. 0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:00.320 It's the most brilliant thing. 0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:02.440 So I sit back and say, if an artist is 0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.440 not going out there and getting it, he just really 0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:07.440 don't want it sometimes. But so I'm just saying, there's 0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:13.040 so many opportunities. But lyricism questions question to you, Mega, 0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:18.920 you listen to all this thing can lyricistism live in 0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:23.560 twenty sixteen on a mainstream scale, Yeah, you. 0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:27.080 Could, it could Hen Drake, Yeah, Kendrick Hendrick brought that. 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:31.560 Kendrick quarterback J Cole. I think Corey, Oh, every time 0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:33.280 I see Corey, I'll tell him when I say that. 0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:35.360 Every time I see him as be like, yo, what's 0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:38.480 the music or you know, I always ever since I've 0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:40.920 been seeing him, I always try to push him in, 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.240 the courage him because I like the direction he's going in. 0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:47.640 But lyricism could always live because especially now and these times, 0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:50.920 because there's so much see the differ between rapping and 0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:57.120 and hip hop also and lyricism is because lyricism you 0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.840 paint pictures. There's so much happening in the world right 0:30:59.880 --> 0:31:03.720 now now with us as people. You have Black Lives Matter, 0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:07.080 you got the politics, was all so much to talk about. 0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:11.080 That is captivating when you when when people hold on 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:11.800 to your words. 0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:14.720 Now now now you invoke any emotions or you're having 0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:18.720 a connection with people, and that's why you know, that's important, 0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.960 and that's why when the more the more newer artists 0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.200 do it, it helps because everybody wants to do what 0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:28.040 those new artists doing. I think I think one rapper 0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.320 that's out of the newer generation that that I really 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.480 have learned to appreciates Drake. 0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:34.120 I'm just gonna say Young Thub. 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:37.200 I haven't heard Young. 0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.200 I haven't heard much of Young though, but I've heard 0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.640 I heard, I've heard these alright. Yeah, I'm not I'm 0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:45.800 not judgmental. Like the problem with a lot of rappers 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.880 that have been out old school or veterans or legends 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:52.440 some of them is they're too they're too closed minded, 0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.800 Like you can't just say, well, they don't do it 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:55.600 like how we did it. 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.200 Of course they don't because that's a different time, just 0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.720 like we don't travel like George Robson in them newsed too. 0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:01.560 You know what I'm saying. 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.680 So it's like if anything, like. 0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:08.960 Some fans are like they don't want to leave the nineties, 0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.560 Like I respect that, but I know that when I. 0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.200 Pay my bills to say, twenty sixteen, no doubt, Like 0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:15.440 I love the nineties. 0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:18.760 I understand. I understand where they coming from the nineties, 0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:21.960 like skill was your bad badge of honor and people 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:24.320 put their heart more in it now with that, let 0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:26.160 me tell you something. I was watching send on TV 0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.400 the other day. It was like it was Jamie Fox. 0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:30.480 I think it was like a comedy and the dude 0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.760 was rapping joking right, like you remember when dude that. 0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:34.840 Couldn't rap used to rap. 0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.480 And it was funny or crackhead rappers that's but now 0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:40.080 I was like, yo, he could do that right now, 0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.320 come over to the album and it's sad because it's 0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:46.720 now like, look, the phones that we have now is better. 0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:47.640 Than the phones ten years ago. 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.640 The TVs we have now is better than the cars 0:32:50.680 --> 0:32:52.480 we have now is better, But the rhyms we have 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:55.719 now aren't better than ten years ago. Even R and 0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:59.000 B is regressing, Like you listen to a real RB song, 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:01.840 R ANDV songs with the song people made babies or 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.280 the songs that that made women and men fall in 0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:06.160 love with nowadays. 0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.080 Now, dad, you can make an R and B song 0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:09.480 if you want. 0:33:09.520 --> 0:33:15.880 People work auto to on you. But but every every 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.480 song don't have to be about straight fucking like you 0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:24.320 turn the radio. Like Rihanna got a song talking. 0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:26.560 About better have her money. 0:33:26.640 --> 0:33:29.760 No, not that one.

I think she got the best album out right, now, 0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:37.080 but I don't want to. I don't want to hear 0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:39.000 that song at three o'clock in the afternoon when I 0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:40.040 got my daughter in the car. 0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:41.080 It's like whoa. 0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:43.360 Because kids are smart, they catch on. 0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:47.040 So I want to hear Rihanna in my space, not 0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:49.160 in the kids space, you know what I'm saying. So 0:33:49.160 --> 0:33:52.520 it's like certain it's radio's fault because radio needs to 0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:58.080 have s guidline to safeguards to protect kids because kids, 0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.240 kids are smart and they and they observed of it, 0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.920 so our kids don't need to be learning about sex 0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:05.240 or all this.

But Wayne's my brother. But they squashed it. 0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:26.359 They're doing shows now and everything, so but that was mine, Like, 0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.200 like I want to be the god uh to embrace 0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:30.080 the new generation. 0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:30.839 You know what I'm saying. 0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:33.000 I don't want to be the person that comes around 0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:35.480 and be like yo in my days, Yo, Yo in 0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:37.839 my day. You don't have to abandon your old principle. No, 0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:39.880 I don't want be That's what some people do. I 0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:41.759 hate when older dudes try to act young. 0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:44.799 Okay, so like they abandoned their principles because to me, 0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:47.720 that's what ogs are for, to leave the youth. 0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:49.560 Like similar to what Fat Joe was doing. 0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:51.520 Like if I think fad Joe is keeping the hip 0:38:51.560 --> 0:38:54.759 hop integrity at the same time all the way up, 0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:57.359 does cater to the new generation all the way up? 0:38:57.760 --> 0:39:00.399 Hard hard espakes the nooise all the way up? Mann, 0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:05.560 I hope that motherfucker go platinum. Man, I got something 0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.239 to do with that, But continue, I'm sorry, what is that? Like? 0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.400 Do you understand what I'm saying, but it doesn't mean 0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:12.560 it's not a departure perfect Fat Joe. It's not too 0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:14.719 much of a departure from who he is and what 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.040 he's been doing, right, Like, it's not it's not too crazy, 0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:21.120 like you can see the progression and what Fat Joe's doing, right, 0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:23.160 He's not regressing and trying to act young. 0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:24.680 No boy in the club and wild no. 0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:27.120 But it caters to the young audience. What I'm saying is, 0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:29.600 you know, old dudes would say, you know, I'm all 0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:31.480 the way up after they see the young ins and 0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:33.799 and the chicks on there. But that's not the first 0:39:33.880 --> 0:39:36.360 thing a person in his thirties and his forties is 0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:37.120 gonna think of. 0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:38.400 But that's a young person thing. 0:39:38.480 --> 0:39:40.800 But what I'm saying is it's kind of balanced because 0:39:41.040 --> 0:39:46.480 it is catering to the young audience without uh uh uh, 0:39:47.040 --> 0:39:51.000 you know, disproving hip hop. Like I can see Kara 0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:53.400 rest One, I can see who Hirk saying they fucked 0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:54.640 well all the way up, you know what I'm saying. 0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:57.360 I can't see them saying that about other music that exists, 0:39:57.440 --> 0:39:59.319 you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, you can think 0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:02.520 that's you think you know what I mean for us 0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:05.840 being from New York, my man being from you know, Miami, 0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:08.440 And this is a discussion I just wanted to have, 0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:10.800 like a straight up and hip hop discussion, like you 0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:12.520 know what I'm saying, and I want to get back 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.480 into you guys, But like, what do you think the. 0:40:15.560 --> 0:40:17.200 Forefathers think of this generation? 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:17.560 Now? 0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:22.680 You think they disapprove or or doesn't matter. 0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:24.920 I think that's a conversation that you should have. 0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:27.120 I think you should have some of them on your 0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:31.279 showing you're trying, we need to But how do. 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.800 You feel because Megan, you're a legend, right, And I 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:35.279 hate to be. 0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:37.000 Called a legend, to be honest, But why why? 0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:37.560 Why is that? 0:40:37.960 --> 0:40:40.440 Because when I see when I think of people who 0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:42.279 are legends, I don't think that i'll match up. I 0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:44.960 haven't done what they've done. Like if every being rock 0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:47.040 him with legends, then how am I a legend? 0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:50.280 Or if like like certain people are icons, I consider 0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:51.000 myself a vet. 0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:53.480 Maybe in a few years, if I keep putting out, 0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:56.520 then I consider that I'll be comfortable with legends. But 0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:59.160 if every be's a leg if every being rock him 0:40:59.200 --> 0:41:03.239 is legends in public, enemies legends, like how the fuck 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:05.759 are my legend. I haven't done with Dave done. They've 0:41:05.960 --> 0:41:09.120 transcended the whole genre. I'm just trying to do. I'm 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:10.320 just trying to make them proud. 0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:13.920 I gotta agree with you and disagree with you, because 0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:19.480 you know why us as quote unquote legends like Yo, 0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:22.560 b I just seen you pack of house in the 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:26.839 middle of midtown Miami. Motherfuckers don't come over here right 0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.839 around the corner. They get killed, They get robs right 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:32.359 around here. You probably don't know, you know, I'm sure 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:34.239 you know. But what I'm saying is I just seen 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.080 people come out watched. 0:41:36.160 --> 0:41:37.680 Man. The only time I left, I had to piss. 0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:39.520 I'm sorry. I never leave a person's show, but I 0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:40.920 had to peep. I got a peep right now, but 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:41.480 I'm holding it. 0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:44.479 But I was out there, and I don't only watch 0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:47.000 you because you a nigga from my hood, and I'd 0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:48.839 be so proud to see another nigga from my hood 0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:53.120 maintaining and surviving and doing it. But I had one 0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:55.839 point moved. I was looking directly at you, and at 0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:57.800 one point moved be listen. Just wanted to see the crowd, 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:01.120 and these motherfuckers knew every fucking word. 0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:04.279 They knew every word. And you know what it is. 0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.520 You ain't had a record on the radio in the past. 0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:08.400 I don't know how many years me neither solo. 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:10.719 You know what I'm saying. And when you could do that, 0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:14.720 that is the definition of legendary. My brother. 0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:23.160 And artist subjective. So if a fancy thinks you're a legend, 0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:26.520 you're definitely a legendcy I know what he means. 0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:30.640 But see, legendary status doesn't mean comparing yourself to another legend, 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:32.759 because in that case, I would I could never be 0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:34.960 chrest One. Carrist One is and I'm from Queens and 0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:36.640 I told him that I can never match up the 0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:37.319 careas one. 0:42:38.400 --> 0:42:41.239 But I know kids who look at me like here 0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:45.200 rest One. I know kids who look at me like 0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:47.600 a nas.

But at the end of the day, 0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:57.880 I don't know what I did for these kids. Like 0:42:57.960 --> 0:42:59.560 I got people who tell me I used to have 0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:02.360 your hosters and and I look at them and I'm like, 0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:03.640 all right, cool, Well you're my nigga. 0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:06.280 Now, and they could never really be my nigga because 0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:07.480 that's how they look at me. 0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:09.680 They look at me as this person who raised them 0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:13.080 in high school.

It's always it's not about the 0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:35.160 most money that they're gonna give you. It's about the 0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:37.520 most effort that they're gonna give you. So the label's 0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:39.239 gonna give you a whole bunch of money, but not 0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:42.759 put effort into you. That's a bad investment money. 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:43.240 Anyways. 0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:45.960 If there's a label that's gonna make you a priority, 0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:49.960 you know what I'm saying, then that's gonna significantly boost 0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:53.879 your career. Now, with me, there's a lot of when 0:47:54.000 --> 0:47:56.799 keeping it real goes wrong situations, you know what I'm 0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:57.720 saying with my career. 0:47:57.840 --> 0:48:01.239 Because Puff wanted just sign me, but somebody that me 0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:04.080 and you both know, said, nah, don't do that because 0:48:04.360 --> 0:48:04.759 it might. 0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:07.960 Affect the firm. So I didn't do that, so I 0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:11.239 kept it real. Then there was another situation when Loud 0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:13.480 wanted to sign me. They was like, yo, we want 0:48:13.520 --> 0:48:14.200 to mess with yo. 0:48:15.280 --> 0:48:18.920 Perfect that right now. 0:48:20.160 --> 0:48:23.399 Loud wanted to sign me and everybody Steve Riskin's brother, 0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:25.799 I was talking to him at how can I be down? 0:48:27.640 --> 0:48:29.959 They said, we want to sign Mega, but we don't 0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:33.800 like his man. That was the guy that was managing me, 0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:35.919 because they said because he screwed us on the Noy deal. 0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:39.920 You know what I'm saying, so you know it's yo, 0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:42.520 Loyalty will backfire on you if you do it to 0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:44.280 the wrong if you give it to the wrong people. 0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:46.480 So it's like, you know what I'm saying, and it's 0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:49.280 not you know, I could have had a few situations, 0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:51.680 but I didn't do it on the strength of other people. 0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:54.960 So death Jams violator. 0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:57.600 The reason I sound a violator because they offered me 0:48:58.760 --> 0:49:01.960 not just not only the most money, but all of 0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:02.680 my publishing. 0:49:03.280 --> 0:49:04.880 You know what I'm saying, Like Chris, like that was 0:49:04.920 --> 0:49:06.160 a violator, yo. I asked him. 0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:07.759 Of people wanted to sign me, I had different parts 0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:09.600 of death Jam want to sign me because it was 0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:12.680 like there was like no doubt death Jam violated death Jam. 0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:13.320 It was different. 0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:15.880 So I had different late like magic for labels. So 0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:17.839 I ended up with doing the thing with Chris because 0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:20.239 for one, I respect how how he moved. For two, 0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:22.760 he gave me all of my publishing, which is unheard 0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:23.439 of him those times. 0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:26.000 So so people said, oh, so all on home because 0:49:26.000 --> 0:49:28.120 a lot of people thought you was gonna violator management. 0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:34.240 No records exactly exactly, And that's. 0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:39.480 Why and that's why you know, I think violator management 0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:43.839 was better than Violator Records. Violator Records was dope when 0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:47.480 when they let David artists Now was that Warren G 0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:50.960 was rang G when heated Fox. He might have been 0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:53.560 Violator for a little while too. But then death Jams 0:49:53.680 --> 0:49:55.560 just took just took over because she was a superstar. 0:49:56.239 --> 0:49:59.200 But when Dave Bloty was running Violator, they should have 0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:02.200 just let Dave Bloody keep running it because Dave, you know, Dave. 0:50:02.600 --> 0:50:04.880 Was Dave texted me the other day, Dave put a 0:50:04.920 --> 0:50:07.400 lot of effort into Wow, Dave Lighty would love to 0:50:07.440 --> 0:50:07.680 hear that. 0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:10.120 So yeah, yeah, I keep it real man, you know 0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:10.560 what I'm saying. 0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:13.200 Just like even people, I'm the type of dude, even 0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:16.240 if I had a difference with people, I give credit 0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:19.160 where is due, and there's a lot of people in 0:50:19.200 --> 0:50:21.120 the induesty that I've done.

And another thing 0:50:42.480 --> 0:50:46.560 you did one time we was chilling and the first time, 0:50:46.840 --> 0:50:48.480 the first and only time I ever been on DJ 0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:49.799 Clues radio show was. 0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:51.080 With me and you took me up there. 0:50:51.160 --> 0:50:56.880 Le's make some noise in me keeping it real.

I went 0:51:59.760 --> 0:52:01.480 to Uptown Records because I had to pick up a 0:52:01.560 --> 0:52:04.600 check from doing a song with the R and B group. 0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:08.640 Right while I'm at Uptown, I see do who happens 0:52:08.640 --> 0:52:09.800 to be A Z's manager. 0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:10.840 Oh okay. 0:52:11.320 --> 0:52:13.640 So the reason I went up to Uptown Records instead 0:52:13.640 --> 0:52:15.720 of going to the firm photo shoot because Steve Stout 0:52:15.800 --> 0:52:18.280 called and said, oh, the photo shooter's canceled. 0:52:18.360 --> 0:52:19.920 Don't come right. 0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:22.520 So I was like cool, So I went uptown Uptown 0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:24.839 RECs to get the check.

I say this, 0:56:16.280 --> 0:56:20.040 Nas and Marv Deep deserve their success because I tell 0:56:20.040 --> 0:56:23.600 you this, when I was on the block hustling and 0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:25.960 getting into trouble and doing all that they was in. 0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:28.360 The studio, they worked harder for it. 0:56:28.480 --> 0:56:30.399 They earned it, you know what I'm saying. So that's 0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:32.520 their success wasn't given to them. 0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:33.760 And there's a lot of artists. 0:56:34.120 --> 0:56:36.640 Queen Bridge has a storied history, but there came a 0:56:36.680 --> 0:56:38.800 point where some people just use queen Bridge as like 0:56:38.840 --> 0:56:40.799 a credit card, like the can. They could just say 0:56:40.840 --> 0:56:42.640 queens Bridge and get a deal, or just say queen 0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:44.040 Bridge and you're supposed to get respect. 0:56:44.239 --> 0:56:46.880 You have to work for that, you know what I'm saying. So, 0:56:47.520 --> 0:56:50.320 so at one point, right, it is what it is 0:56:50.640 --> 0:56:50.880 with that. 0:56:52.440 --> 0:56:55.800 So Mega, there's been a room of floating around that 0:56:57.080 --> 0:57:03.880 uh seeingn mob deep nahs. It's supposed to be a 0:57:03.960 --> 0:57:06.000 queen's talk called Mega. 0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:08.000 I didn't hear my name. 0:57:09.239 --> 0:57:11.239 That's why you hear, baby, this. 0:57:11.280 --> 0:57:11.759 Is what we do. 0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:13.440 So you're trying to say me, there's a check under 0:57:13.480 --> 0:57:13.839 this table. 0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:16.200 Yeah, I mean, yo, listen, man, is this something that 0:57:16.240 --> 0:57:18.760 you think because listen, you know what you know what 0:57:18.840 --> 0:57:22.240 people's me And some dude was talking and he was like, 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:24.200 you know, queens is like compt y'all get along with. 0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:25.320 Nobody said I. 0:57:25.320 --> 0:57:26.960 Always told people that I be like, Queens is the 0:57:27.080 --> 0:57:30.880 most I'd be like, queens just don't get along even 0:57:32.080 --> 0:57:33.360 like you know, back in the day, people used to 0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:36.680 try to tease queens. Queens but yeah, quiet queens. But 0:57:36.840 --> 0:57:40.240 queens is wild as fuck. And when you think about 0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:42.080 the most rappers that got killed, the most rappers got 0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:46.320 killed in Queens and the most rapid differences from queens. 0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:48.920 Right, So it's like you think it's because a barrow 0:57:48.960 --> 0:57:50.120 big or just because we found me. 0:57:50.200 --> 0:57:51.800 I think it's I don't know, I think it's I 0:57:51.880 --> 0:57:53.640 think it's ego. Sometimes I don't know what it is. 0:57:53.720 --> 0:57:56.720 But with queens Bridge, with our small circle, you know 0:57:56.800 --> 0:57:59.200 what it is too. Queen Bridge is so fucking big. 0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:02.439 It's six Blockslet's break it down for people. 0:58:02.680 --> 0:58:05.800 There's forty fifth side of twelth Street, then it's forty 0:58:06.240 --> 0:58:08.680 first side of twelfth Street. Then it's fortieth side of 0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:10.480 tenth Street, then forty first side. 0:58:10.280 --> 0:58:13.320 Of It's two each in the south side, so it's 0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:15.800 six blocks. You come down and eat big, which is 0:58:15.840 --> 0:58:17.960 the block is big enough to be its own project. 0:58:18.040 --> 0:58:20.320 Each block is big enough to be a left frack. 0:58:20.440 --> 0:58:21.000 That's a fact. 0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:23.640 One block there's a lot of crackers. Only one block 0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:27.280 there's a lot of rappers. That differences ain't even really 0:58:27.360 --> 0:58:29.560 from the rapper. It'd be from the people that hang 0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:34.480 with the rapperup like nature and me Ben would have 0:58:34.520 --> 0:58:36.640 been working. But if people in this circle that was like, nah, 0:58:36.680 --> 0:58:38.200 don't do it because it's gonna look like you're kissing 0:58:38.240 --> 0:58:41.000 his ass when that's stupid. Because the quicker that you 0:58:41.120 --> 0:58:43.800 nullify it, the quicker the beef is gone. So it's 0:58:43.800 --> 0:58:45.120 like some people don't think strategic. 0:58:45.200 --> 0:58:45.560 I like it. 0:58:45.640 --> 0:58:47.680 That word you use, nigga, said mellowfied. 0:58:48.440 --> 0:58:56.520 No doubt number five, mellowfied, I'll text we are down 0:58:56.640 --> 0:58:57.200 another five. 0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:00.760 We doesn't replace photos. 0:59:02.280 --> 0:59:02.480 Know what? 0:59:02.600 --> 0:59:08.880 That shop always so good?

We didn't add fifty cent names. 0:59:30.800 --> 0:59:39.400 He came here added, that's what listen, Queen Supreme me 0:59:39.480 --> 0:59:40.240 and you really know? 0:59:41.880 --> 0:59:42.600 Can is it? 0:59:42.800 --> 0:59:44.800 Is it even possible? Or am I? 0:59:45.040 --> 0:59:47.160 You know a queen's a queen still because it was 0:59:47.200 --> 0:59:48.600 a rumor and I'm just spread in the room, I'm 0:59:48.600 --> 0:59:49.520 helping spread the romo. 0:59:49.800 --> 0:59:51.000 Do you think it's even possible? 0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:55.000 I think anything is possible if people wanted to happen, 0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:56.480 you know what I'm saying. 0:59:56.560 --> 0:59:58.080 So my thing is this. 1:00:01.960 --> 1:00:04.400 On one of my albums, I said, I'm no longer 1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:08.960 seeking acceptance of people who ain't feeling me, or squeezing 1:00:09.000 --> 1:00:12.520 my weapon for people who ain't real ast me. So 1:00:12.680 --> 1:00:15.720 forget the weapon part. I'm trying to trying to make 1:00:15.760 --> 1:00:18.560 peace with people. I'm not extending my hand to a 1:00:18.640 --> 1:00:19.400 clenched fist. 1:00:21.080 --> 1:00:27.040 So I squashed all my differences with every rapper. 1:00:27.560 --> 1:00:29.680 I don't got people, no rapper right now, you know 1:00:29.720 --> 1:00:33.160 what I'm saying. The only the difference that that I 1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:35.440 had in recent years. It was a small thing that 1:00:35.600 --> 1:00:38.800 hurt me because I got history with Freddie Fox because 1:00:38.800 --> 1:00:39.520 that's my big bro. 1:00:40.480 --> 1:00:41.400 And it was nothing I said. 1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:43.600 It was a little misunderstanding pretty much like that. But 1:00:43.760 --> 1:00:45.360 we fixed that and I love him. 1:00:45.400 --> 1:00:47.000 That's my big so. 1:00:47.720 --> 1:00:52.800 And I'm about to do and y' y'all know, so 1:00:53.080 --> 1:00:58.960 me and him about to do something about to me 1:00:59.000 --> 1:00:59.640 and him about to. 1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:05.040 Do something music too, Freddie Fox, champs guy, yeah Soles. 1:01:05.240 --> 1:01:08.000 As far as as far as a queen's talk, I 1:01:08.080 --> 1:01:11.000 think that would be great and I think it is possible. 1:01:11.120 --> 1:01:16.920 But some people rather hold grudges than summit so so 1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:20.920 because I think I've hear him, but I'm not. 1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:24.040 But you and nas are on great terms, right. 1:01:24.360 --> 1:01:27.000 I don't know what I don't know. I don't know 1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:29.560 what's going on. And I tried, and I don't care 1:01:29.880 --> 1:01:33.160 like I did my part, like there was a you 1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:36.640 might when you're talking about the squashing on beef on stage, 1:01:36.640 --> 1:01:38.000 you might have been talking about on me and Nas 1:01:38.040 --> 1:01:38.600 came out together. 1:01:38.720 --> 1:01:39.840 No, no, no, this is not a show that we 1:01:39.920 --> 1:01:43.040 did one. You definitely squashed my. 1:01:43.120 --> 1:01:45.360 Beef for him in two thousand and six. So if 1:01:45.400 --> 1:01:47.040 he has a problem, I don't know. I don't got 1:01:47.080 --> 1:01:48.640 no beef for him. There hasn't been no. 1:01:48.720 --> 1:01:52.320 Mega diss record, no mega side talk, no nothing. 1:01:52.800 --> 1:01:54.560 So if he still got an issue with me, that's 1:01:54.560 --> 1:01:56.800 something he got to take up with himself, because I 1:01:56.840 --> 1:01:58.640 don't got no way for him. I don't got no 1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:00.920 beef with no rapper from Queensbridge. 1:02:00.960 --> 1:02:01.960 You know what I'm saying on. 1:02:03.600 --> 1:02:04.600 None the only. 1:02:04.560 --> 1:02:09.800 Rapper that that that that I'm wondering if I should 1:02:09.800 --> 1:02:14.320 even that I have question marks about from a from 1:02:14.360 --> 1:02:17.120 an integrity standpoint, it's p. 1:02:18.800 --> 1:02:22.640 Because for one, I didn't read his book. 1:02:22.680 --> 1:02:24.960 I don't care about the book, but the way that 1:02:25.040 --> 1:02:29.400 he disrespected Lake and sharam right like, even though having 1:02:29.440 --> 1:02:32.400 spoken to Lake and shearm in a minute, they have 1:02:32.600 --> 1:02:35.480 been so loyal to me in life and they have 1:02:35.560 --> 1:02:38.520 did so much for me in life that I just 1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:43.200 feel uncomfortable rocking with him at this you know what 1:02:43.200 --> 1:02:46.040 I'm saying, because it's not beneficial to me, you know 1:02:46.080 --> 1:02:47.120 what I'm saying, And it's not like. 1:02:47.600 --> 1:02:50.680 It is not like he extends itself, So it's like 1:02:50.800 --> 1:02:53.320 I feel it's not worth it. Like if he still 1:02:53.360 --> 1:02:56.160 has differences with them, I'd rather play the back. And 1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:58.280 now I don't got no beef with him, but I 1:02:58.440 --> 1:03:02.160 feel uncomfortable dealing with you if if you at odds 1:03:02.200 --> 1:03:06.280 with them because sharm like these dudes. 1:03:06.880 --> 1:03:08.320 I haven't spoken to him in a long time, but 1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:10.920 they are mad loyal dudes. 1:03:11.680 --> 1:03:13.880 So you know what I'm saying. 1:03:14.080 --> 1:03:17.320 And Lake, I haven't spoken, did an album, but I 1:03:17.400 --> 1:03:17.919 want you to finish. 1:03:19.520 --> 1:03:23.160 If he still got differences with them, I don't think 1:03:23.200 --> 1:03:25.920 it's worth I'd rather just kick back because it's not 1:03:26.000 --> 1:03:26.240 like me and. 1:03:26.320 --> 1:03:29.240 Him speak all the time, or you know what I'm saying. 1:03:29.240 --> 1:03:31.280 So it's like I don't have no beef for him, 1:03:31.320 --> 1:03:34.320 but that needs to be fixed. You know what I'm saying, 1:03:34.360 --> 1:03:36.400 because at the end of the day, Sharon put. 1:03:36.280 --> 1:03:38.360 In work for me and Lake was like me and 1:03:38.480 --> 1:03:41.560 Lake was like inseparable. Like you know what I'm saying, 1:03:41.600 --> 1:03:43.480 You could like Lake is the type of dude if 1:03:43.480 --> 1:03:45.520 you said something bad about me, he would have did 1:03:45.640 --> 1:03:48.640 something to you. So it's like, you know what I'm saying, 1:03:48.640 --> 1:03:50.439 I can't front on that. You know what I'm saying, 1:03:50.440 --> 1:03:52.880 I can't front on that. Like so even though I 1:03:52.880 --> 1:03:54.360 haven't spoken in a minute, we won't. 1:03:54.600 --> 1:03:58.080 Everybody's doing their own thing. But I can't front on him, Sharm, 1:03:59.080 --> 1:04:03.560 Sharon told me. Sharm is the reason why I chilled out. 1:04:04.160 --> 1:04:07.200 Like Sharam was like, yo, Mega, chill you don't have 1:04:07.320 --> 1:04:10.480 to do nothing like I'm here, like like they had me. 1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:13.280 You know what I'm saying, So how can I How 1:04:13.360 --> 1:04:14.600 can I not expect that? 1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:19.240 Yeah, So it's like I try to be sometimes neutral 1:04:19.280 --> 1:04:21.320 doesn't work.

But people have to figure out what 1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:39.720 their issue is, you know what I'm saying, Like your 1:04:39.800 --> 1:04:41.680 man have to figure out what his issue is with me, 1:04:41.800 --> 1:04:44.400 because I don't got no issue with him, But what if. 1:04:44.280 --> 1:04:48.280 It is just simply like you know sometimes like for 1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:50.720 me for instance, I can't speak for anybody else not it. 1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:54.600 But I'm the type of dude that if I don't 1:04:54.640 --> 1:04:57.320 stay in contact with anybody, it's not on purpose. It's 1:04:57.360 --> 1:04:59.760 not on purpose. It's just I'm doing me. We may 1:05:00.160 --> 1:05:03.120 you meant, but my love doesn't change.

I'm bugging right, he's affiliated with 1:23:51.000 --> 1:23:51.679 the wheel Chack. 1:23:53.200 --> 1:23:53.880 That's what I happed. 1:23:53.920 --> 1:23:56.679 Cool cool son had him with his with his son 1:23:58.120 --> 1:24:02.400 and and some people in my crew, and I wasn't there, 1:24:03.000 --> 1:24:04.679 so I didn't know what happened. 1:24:04.720 --> 1:24:07.600 So when Hank came the father, he was oh, he 1:24:07.720 --> 1:24:08.280 was turned up. 1:24:08.360 --> 1:24:10.560 He was like, he was like you like he was 1:24:10.600 --> 1:24:12.080 ready to fight me, and I was like, what are 1:24:12.080 --> 1:24:13.519 you talking? I don't even know what the hell's going on. 1:24:14.240 --> 1:24:17.240 So then he's a good person. He felt bad that 1:24:17.360 --> 1:24:19.720 he came at me like that because people his soner like, yeah, 1:24:19.760 --> 1:24:23.760 Corey wasn't there, So he felt bad about that. So 1:24:23.920 --> 1:24:27.439 people another late, another person I have to give prep 1:24:27.439 --> 1:24:30.600 credit to is Mary Stevens. So she worked in the 1:24:30.600 --> 1:24:34.080 community center and then she and somebody else told Hank 1:24:34.120 --> 1:24:37.599 Carter like this guy could rap very good. And then 1:24:38.320 --> 1:24:43.120 Hank called Molly Ma and Hank said, cause Molly. 1:24:44.000 --> 1:24:47.160 Like this after Juice Cool, Molly Ma, this is Molly 1:24:47.280 --> 1:24:48.120 was the King of the world. 1:24:48.840 --> 1:24:49.840 This is like Molly. 1:24:49.960 --> 1:24:51.800 This is right after Mama said knock you out and 1:24:51.880 --> 1:24:54.719 all of that when Molly, when Molly wasn't even rocking 1:24:54.760 --> 1:24:57.400 with too many people. So he was like, yeah, I 1:24:57.439 --> 1:24:59.640 want you to hear this guy. So Molly hurts from 1:24:59.680 --> 1:25:02.880 my Joe. Next thing, you know, me and l E. 1:25:03.080 --> 1:25:07.800 S Is going to Marley's house knocking out songs like 1:25:08.000 --> 1:25:08.120 L E. 1:25:08.240 --> 1:25:08.640 S used to be. 1:25:08.920 --> 1:25:11.040 Was gonna be my DJ, and he was making some 1:25:11.160 --> 1:25:15.240 of my he was helping me my album. Unfortunately, I 1:25:15.360 --> 1:25:16.000 blew trial. 1:25:17.040 --> 1:25:18.880 So when I blew trial, do you want to say 1:25:18.960 --> 1:25:21.000 what you was on trial for? So the listener's known 1:25:21.040 --> 1:25:21.600 not to do this. 1:25:22.040 --> 1:25:24.120 I didn't even do what I want to yo, I 1:25:24.160 --> 1:25:26.080 didn't do nothing. I mean no, let me, let me, 1:25:26.200 --> 1:25:27.760 let me not paint the pictures like I'm gonna say. 1:25:28.280 --> 1:25:30.560 I went to jail because that was God's plan for me, 1:25:30.800 --> 1:25:33.000 because if I got caught for stuff that I really did, 1:25:33.400 --> 1:25:35.400 I would have did more turns. Was the thing that 1:25:35.479 --> 1:25:38.080 I went to jail for. I didn't even do. They 1:25:38.120 --> 1:25:40.840 said I robbed somebody in the G train. Why would 1:25:40.840 --> 1:25:46.120 I for a gun? A police officer at that like 1:25:46.240 --> 1:25:49.760 an off duty correction officer so it's like that was 1:25:50.400 --> 1:25:53.160 basically a cop set me up. Because there's this cop 1:25:53.240 --> 1:25:53.960 that hated. 1:25:53.760 --> 1:25:56.400 Me and he set me up. His name was Connery, 1:25:57.360 --> 1:25:59.640 and he just set me up. 1:26:00.320 --> 1:26:02.800 Is the opposite to make noise for him, let's bull him? 1:26:04.479 --> 1:26:07.960 So basically, So basically I had I had a case 1:26:08.040 --> 1:26:10.320 that I was going to court for and I beat it. 1:26:11.040 --> 1:26:14.920 So as I'm walking out the courtroom, they said, oh, 1:26:15.960 --> 1:26:18.920 you fit the identification of somebody. So I was like, 1:26:19.000 --> 1:26:21.240 this is a joke, right, So I went with the cops. 1:26:21.520 --> 1:26:23.439 They put me in the lineup and next you know, 1:26:23.479 --> 1:26:24.040 I'm in jail. 1:26:24.520 --> 1:26:27.360 Wow, how long did you have to do? I was? 1:26:27.680 --> 1:26:28.120 I would have been. 1:26:28.400 --> 1:26:30.040 I would have been in jail obviously for like up 1:26:30.080 --> 1:26:32.400 to two years until trial, but my crew bailed me out. 1:26:33.120 --> 1:26:35.920 So and then I hired David Cohen, who was fat cast. 1:26:35.880 --> 1:26:40.519 Lawyer, as my lawyer. So some real queen ship right now, queens. 1:26:41.479 --> 1:26:44.720 So basically, you tell it. First of all, I had 1:26:44.840 --> 1:26:47.559 I probably had I had to had to. I had 1:26:47.600 --> 1:26:50.400 the crazy like we had the craziest guns in the hood. 1:26:51.000 --> 1:26:52.920 So it's insult is an insult? Would you need to 1:26:53.040 --> 1:26:57.720 rob his guns? Tell me I'm robbing another nigga for gun. Yeah, 1:26:57.800 --> 1:26:59.519 a thirty eight at that that's before cops. 1:26:59.520 --> 1:27:02.280 You know, like I give those automatics is popping now, 1:27:03.200 --> 1:27:06.519 So it's like at that time it was an insult. 1:27:06.560 --> 1:27:08.280 So I went to jail with centering I didn't even do. 1:27:09.080 --> 1:27:10.880 So that's how I came home. I came home on 1:27:10.960 --> 1:27:13.639 a pill, and you know, getting their pills like winning 1:27:13.680 --> 1:27:14.000 a lotto. 1:27:14.560 --> 1:27:17.160 So basically the night wasn't the first nigga came home 1:27:17.200 --> 1:27:17.599 on a pill. 1:27:17.600 --> 1:27:18.040 I didn't even know. 1:27:18.120 --> 1:27:21.479 I mean Tupac, it was. It was cool, Meca goddamn. 1:27:24.160 --> 1:27:25.960 You know that's when Tubac came home on the pill. 1:27:26.000 --> 1:27:27.559 I didn't even know that. Yeah, yeah, So. 1:27:27.640 --> 1:27:29.840 Basically, yeah, that's what I went to jail for for that. 1:27:30.360 --> 1:27:32.840 So basically the reason I came home because when I 1:27:32.880 --> 1:27:37.080 went to jail, I was too I can't even call 1:27:37.120 --> 1:27:37.639 it stubborn. 1:27:37.760 --> 1:27:40.080 I was driven to not accept that because I didn't 1:27:40.120 --> 1:27:40.320 do that. 1:27:40.640 --> 1:27:43.760 I wasn't going out like that because as soon as 1:27:43.760 --> 1:27:48.040 you go to jail, they got all the exercise facilities 1:27:48.080 --> 1:27:50.839 and all of that recreation facilities for you, so that's 1:27:50.880 --> 1:27:51.479 a distraction. 1:27:52.080 --> 1:27:52.720 I didn't do that. 1:27:53.040 --> 1:27:54.840 I went to the little library every day because there 1:27:54.880 --> 1:27:56.599 was mad inconsistencies. 1:27:55.960 --> 1:27:56.439 In my case. 1:27:57.080 --> 1:28:00.639 So I started doing my own emotions to a lawyer. 1:28:01.040 --> 1:28:03.400 We started working back and forth. Next thing, you know, 1:28:03.520 --> 1:28:04.760 my pill. I got my pill. 1:28:05.320 --> 1:28:08.519 Like so, I think it was a blessing me. Going 1:28:08.560 --> 1:28:09.679 to jail was a blessing in the sky. 1:28:09.720 --> 1:28:11.760 Because I went to jail, everybody used to be with 1:28:12.360 --> 1:28:14.160 got more time than me, and I had a decent 1:28:14.200 --> 1:28:14.800 amount of time. 1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:17.599 So it was like all the good Fellers pretty much 1:28:17.600 --> 1:28:19.640 went to jail except a couple. So if i'd have 1:28:19.640 --> 1:28:22.040 been home, I got caught up with that definitely. But 1:28:22.160 --> 1:28:24.680 while I went to jail, I got my ged two 1:28:24.880 --> 1:28:26.679 years off of that. Now I did more than two years. 1:28:26.720 --> 1:28:28.760 I'm talking about just over that. Because you say you 1:28:28.840 --> 1:28:30.160 came home on a pill, Correcteah, I. 1:28:30.160 --> 1:28:32.519 Came home after like three in change. I wanted four years. 1:28:32.680 --> 1:28:37.640 I had a lot of time, bro So so I 1:28:37.760 --> 1:28:40.600 went to jail. I went to the box. While I 1:28:40.640 --> 1:28:43.120 was in a box, it's. 1:28:42.960 --> 1:28:45.679 A small little rooms, just a bed and the sink. 1:28:45.760 --> 1:28:48.280 You know, you know the runners, there's a little slit 1:28:48.360 --> 1:28:50.960 in the door. That's how that's why they give you 1:28:51.000 --> 1:28:51.439 your food. 1:28:51.600 --> 1:28:52.400 And one day. 1:28:54.720 --> 1:28:56.560 They passed. They came out with a book with a 1:28:56.600 --> 1:28:59.080 book trade. They were driving they you know, walking out 1:28:59.120 --> 1:29:03.680 the book cart. I got a book, The Autobiography of 1:29:03.760 --> 1:29:04.280 Malcolm X. 1:29:04.479 --> 1:29:06.200 That's the first book I had in jail, as well, 1:29:06.439 --> 1:29:08.400 Change My Life by Alex Helly. 1:29:08.439 --> 1:29:08.759 Correct. 1:29:09.320 --> 1:29:12.560 I think every street kid in the world should read that. 1:29:12.800 --> 1:29:13.599 Yeah, that's a fact. 1:29:13.880 --> 1:29:17.600 I read that book and it's like wow, because we're conditioned. 1:29:17.160 --> 1:29:21.280 To believe that we're fuck ups and there is no 1:29:21.439 --> 1:29:23.960 promise land for us, and like, once you go to jail, 1:29:24.000 --> 1:29:25.640 it's like your life is over. You're a convict, you 1:29:25.680 --> 1:29:29.439 can't do anything. So we're misled to believe that. So 1:29:29.560 --> 1:29:32.320 now I'm reading this book and I could relate to him. 1:29:32.400 --> 1:29:36.000 This dude is in jail, and he said he was, 1:29:36.200 --> 1:29:38.439 you know, he couldn't really read it all that Zach good. 1:29:39.080 --> 1:29:41.400 Then he started studying more. He became very articulately. He 1:29:41.400 --> 1:29:45.000 became one of the most articulated speakers of his generation. 1:29:45.800 --> 1:29:47.920 So I said to myself, if he could do it, 1:29:47.960 --> 1:29:49.479 why I can't do it. I might not could do 1:29:49.520 --> 1:29:50.679 it like he did it, but I'm. 1:29:50.560 --> 1:29:53.600 Going to improve myself while I'm here in this circumstance. 1:29:54.000 --> 1:29:57.240 Why should I just beat another number statistic that. 1:29:57.880 --> 1:30:01.479 The first two books, however, was that Malcolm X and 1:30:01.560 --> 1:30:03.040 horse Son by Donald Garns. 1:30:03.160 --> 1:30:05.559 I didn't even read that horse Son. The first books 1:30:05.600 --> 1:30:07.559 I read. The name was the Bible and. 1:30:09.080 --> 1:30:13.479 Now what is man? What? What? What religion? Culture is? 1:30:14.080 --> 1:30:16.479 Is called Megan, I'm Muslim. 1:30:16.720 --> 1:30:19.320 That's why, that's why, that's why you didn't see me 1:30:19.400 --> 1:30:22.439 drink alcohol, because first of all you got the number 1:30:22.439 --> 1:30:23.120 one podcast. 1:30:23.240 --> 1:30:24.800 That's why it makes a noise for that for Megan. 1:30:24.880 --> 1:30:25.160 No one. 1:30:28.680 --> 1:30:34.040 So yes, in this day and age, Islam gets such 1:30:34.040 --> 1:30:35.479 a bad stigma attached to it. 1:30:35.880 --> 1:30:39.120 Falsely you're gonna be the nigga that will come here exactly. 1:30:39.439 --> 1:30:42.680 It's called showing the dab so the worst and that 1:30:43.600 --> 1:30:50.120 showing it a dab like a Muslim, but not that 1:30:51.680 --> 1:30:57.160 put like this almost almost prominent, positive and beautiful voice 1:30:57.200 --> 1:30:59.160 has been silenced. And that was and that was a 1:30:59.200 --> 1:31:01.920 brother by the name of Muhammad Ali who just recently passed. 1:31:02.400 --> 1:31:06.320 So like we need more positive role models for Muslims. 1:31:06.720 --> 1:31:09.120 Like so when they say what's your religion, I really don't. 1:31:10.320 --> 1:31:14.360 I don't think God said about to have a religion. 1:31:16.120 --> 1:31:19.559 To be Muslim is it's pretty much the same thing 1:31:19.600 --> 1:31:22.360 as Christianity. We all believe in one God. You know 1:31:22.360 --> 1:31:26.320 what I'm saying, It's just uh, I think a lot 1:31:26.360 --> 1:31:28.719 of more, a lot more people would would would would 1:31:28.720 --> 1:31:32.840 turn to Islam. But Islam is too disciplin it's too 1:31:32.920 --> 1:31:35.720 much discipline for certain people, like you don't you can't 1:31:35.760 --> 1:31:38.559 eat park, you can't do certain things. You gotta pray 1:31:38.640 --> 1:31:41.479 five times a day. There's a lot of you pray 1:31:41.560 --> 1:31:43.560 five times a day, not old time. So I'm not 1:31:43.560 --> 1:31:44.280 gonna see him live. 1:31:44.360 --> 1:31:46.639 That's cool things. I see you in the hood. 1:31:46.720 --> 1:31:49.639 It was like three o'clock in the morning, it's mad 1:31:49.760 --> 1:31:51.439 wild gooms out and you had. 1:31:52.080 --> 1:31:52.680 A crown on. 1:31:52.960 --> 1:31:54.120 Yeah, chill with you the whole night. 1:31:54.240 --> 1:31:58.479 Yeah, God got the crown on, and you know it's 1:31:58.640 --> 1:32:01.720 you know the hood has been now do you think so? 1:32:02.160 --> 1:32:02.720 I don't. I don't. 1:32:02.720 --> 1:32:04.160 I mean, I'm gonna keep your hand. I don't even 1:32:04.200 --> 1:32:06.880 be in the hood all the time. But I'm saying, 1:32:06.960 --> 1:32:09.760 like what it changed from where the era we grew 1:32:09.880 --> 1:32:10.000 up in. 1:32:10.120 --> 1:32:10.639 There was times. 1:32:10.800 --> 1:32:13.000 There was times when I used to come in the 1:32:13.200 --> 1:32:18.720 in the crib like I dig in this podcast. I'll 1:32:18.760 --> 1:32:20.720 get the cheet to open the door. But I got 1:32:20.800 --> 1:32:23.959 my hand on my gun in case somebody trying. 1:32:23.720 --> 1:32:25.240 To get at me, you know what I'm saying. So 1:32:25.320 --> 1:32:28.599 it's like there's still that, but it's not that element 1:32:28.760 --> 1:32:30.760 of it's not that element. 1:32:30.520 --> 1:32:32.880 Of aggression like goon aggression like it was when we 1:32:33.000 --> 1:32:34.439 was coming up, you know what I'm saying. 1:32:34.479 --> 1:32:37.759 Like now you was originally from Brooklyn?

So my whole 1:41:21.680 --> 1:41:23.320 thing was part of me was. 1:41:23.360 --> 1:41:25.000 Like I just fought it. 1:41:25.120 --> 1:41:28.320 I fought myself because I was like, ain't even necessarious, 1:41:28.320 --> 1:41:29.000 he ain't even worth it. 1:41:29.160 --> 1:41:33.599 And the reason I really didn't say nothing because somebody said, 1:41:34.000 --> 1:41:35.599 he's just trying to get it. He got an album out, 1:41:35.600 --> 1:41:37.240 That's why he's trying to do that.

I was just gonna 1:41:49.360 --> 1:41:50.840 pray for him. I hope we get his life together, 1:41:50.840 --> 1:41:51.400 you know what I'm saying. 1:41:51.720 --> 1:41:53.960 I always thought y'all was cool, so I thought he 1:41:54.080 --> 1:41:54.519 was cool too. 1:41:54.560 --> 1:41:58.840 But you know, some people, some people be having that 1:41:59.000 --> 1:42:03.200 and some people resentment in them, resentment issues because they 1:42:03.240 --> 1:42:05.559 feel like they should be you know, like. 1:42:09.200 --> 1:42:11.960 He's not consistent. Put it like this, Like one time, 1:42:12.720 --> 1:42:14.840 I give you a perfect example, somebody was told my 1:42:14.960 --> 1:42:18.599 prodigies book and then tragedy. Is like, but he wasn't lying, though, 1:42:19.040 --> 1:42:21.519 But why would you say that? You should have said nothing? 1:42:21.760 --> 1:42:22.519 You you know what I'm saying. 1:42:22.760 --> 1:42:25.519 He had a documentary out before and he was sending 1:42:25.760 --> 1:42:26.280 for nas. 1:42:27.000 --> 1:42:27.519 You know what I'm saying. 1:42:27.520 --> 1:42:29.880 You know we probably seen it. It's like, so, why 1:42:29.920 --> 1:42:31.599 do you have an issue with everybody? Because at one 1:42:31.640 --> 1:42:33.320 time I did think we was cool. But at the 1:42:33.400 --> 1:42:36.960 same time, it's like I don't want to be cool 1:42:36.960 --> 1:42:39.680 with you anymore. I don't got no beef with you, 1:42:40.040 --> 1:42:42.040 but I don't want to be cool with you because 1:42:43.160 --> 1:42:44.439 you got some kind of issues with. 1:42:44.479 --> 1:42:45.720 Me and I don't need it.

And you know that 1:44:00.760 --> 1:44:03.200 because you did business with him. So you know what 1:44:03.200 --> 1:44:05.120 I'm saying.

When he first came home 1:44:09.479 --> 1:44:11.400 from jail, you know, he won of the first things. 1:44:11.479 --> 1:44:13.640 First of all, when he came home from jail, I 1:44:13.720 --> 1:44:17.080 bought him clothes and everything. Gave him clothes. Then I 1:44:17.160 --> 1:44:18.760 sent them to my man's store because I deal with 1:44:18.800 --> 1:44:20.680 a lot of boutiques and stuff like that, you know, 1:44:20.960 --> 1:44:22.920 doing my little collaboration stuff. 1:44:23.040 --> 1:44:24.720 I sent to my man's store. They plugged him with 1:44:24.760 --> 1:44:26.639 clothes and stuff, right, showed him love. 1:44:26.920 --> 1:44:29.479 He was like, yo, why you went to see he? 1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:31.120 He told me he was mad because I went to 1:44:31.120 --> 1:44:32.559 see Prophecy and I ain't gon to see him. 1:44:33.080 --> 1:44:35.880 See, that's the problem. That's a problem in itself. Why 1:44:35.920 --> 1:44:38.760 you worry about what two other men do? That's for 1:44:38.920 --> 1:44:42.120 one and for two dogs. I went up state. I 1:44:42.160 --> 1:44:43.840 went up state before two. You ain't come to see 1:44:43.840 --> 1:44:46.920 me at all. It's like, so, you know what I'm saying. So, 1:44:47.040 --> 1:44:48.840 but I didn't have no beef for him. Then I 1:44:48.960 --> 1:44:51.120 just looked at him like like I went up know 1:44:51.160 --> 1:44:52.320 if he ain't come to see me, you know what 1:44:52.320 --> 1:44:54.560 I'm saying. So it's like I'm not on that, you 1:44:54.600 --> 1:44:56.360 know what I'm saying, Like, Yo, I'm cool with everybody. 1:44:56.400 --> 1:44:56.880 You know what I'm saying. 1:44:57.240 --> 1:45:00.040 He that was a test for me because you you 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:00.799 know what, the old. 1:45:00.720 --> 1:45:02.960 Mega would have dead. And at the same time, I 1:45:03.040 --> 1:45:04.519 don't know what the hell is wrong with him and 1:45:04.560 --> 1:45:06.040 I'm not trying to figure it out. He's on a 1:45:06.120 --> 1:45:09.320 destructive pass, so I don't even have to think about him. 1:45:09.320 --> 1:45:10.519 What month is this, July? 1:45:10.960 --> 1:45:12.720 I don't even got to think about him, like like, 1:45:13.280 --> 1:45:15.280 let him just last a year, Like you know. 1:45:15.280 --> 1:45:18.160 What I'm saying, God bless. I believe he's locked up. 1:45:18.280 --> 1:45:20.000 You know what I mean? See what I mean? Yeah, 1:45:20.040 --> 1:45:22.360 I believe he's locked up. I mean, you know, trash, 1:45:22.400 --> 1:45:25.439 You know we love you out there? You know it 1:45:25.600 --> 1:45:28.240 is what it is? Man. So Mega, Yes, sir, what 1:45:28.479 --> 1:45:30.679 is you know? You came out here, You and Cory 1:45:30.760 --> 1:45:33.320 both have eight of nine. Let's pick up eight or 1:45:33.360 --> 1:45:48.720 nine one more time. You're fully happy with your independence? 1:45:48.720 --> 1:45:52.160 See what is? What is the next next move? What 1:45:52.240 --> 1:45:54.080 are you going to dive into next? Like? 1:45:55.320 --> 1:45:58.000 My next move is this. I got some books coming out. 1:45:59.640 --> 1:46:02.880 I'm not books, not nothing, not through nobody into the 1:46:02.960 --> 1:46:07.519 bus or disrespect nobody, but totally different. I'm it's gonna 1:46:07.520 --> 1:46:10.479 surprise everybody. I got that coming out. I'm trying to 1:46:10.520 --> 1:46:13.320 do as much close collaborations as possible. 1:46:13.880 --> 1:46:15.760 I'm gonna I'm gonna try to sneak into some like 1:46:15.880 --> 1:46:18.799 movie stuff, and I'm gonna start really. 1:46:20.120 --> 1:46:21.800 And when you say movie stuff, you say in your 1:46:21.840 --> 1:46:24.280 own movies or both. 1:46:25.320 --> 1:46:29.160 Yeah, yeah, And most most most importantly, I'm gonna start 1:46:29.240 --> 1:46:32.000 putting some of my effort and energy into other artists 1:46:32.400 --> 1:46:34.000 because there's a lot of young artists that come to 1:46:34.080 --> 1:46:35.640 me for advice. There's a lot of older artists that 1:46:35.680 --> 1:46:37.519 come to me for advice. But I'm gonna start really 1:46:37.640 --> 1:46:40.040 like making the business because there's things that I give 1:46:40.040 --> 1:46:43.080 people for free that other people charge for. As far 1:46:43.120 --> 1:46:45.639 as advice, I do a lot of consulting. 1:46:46.080 --> 1:46:46.320 I do. 1:46:46.640 --> 1:46:49.240 I put people in situations where they get deals like 1:46:49.360 --> 1:46:51.160 I've done it, but I do it. I do it 1:46:51.280 --> 1:46:53.040 because I like to see my people eat too. But 1:46:53.160 --> 1:46:55.719 at the same time, there's people. 1:46:55.520 --> 1:46:57.040 That I could do that there's a lot of value. 1:46:57.080 --> 1:46:59.640 Is exactly exactly, it's a bit artist. 1:47:00.080 --> 1:47:03.960 An excellent question. If you're looking for artists, No, you're 1:47:04.000 --> 1:47:06.600 looking you know what I'm saying. Are you looking for 1:47:06.880 --> 1:47:12.439 the sound that you came from or like again, like today, 1:47:12.880 --> 1:47:16.040 out of all the new artists that performed, I forgot 1:47:16.040 --> 1:47:16.559 the girl name. 1:47:16.640 --> 1:47:20.520 I think, oh, she's right there. That was a Dutch maassist. 1:47:22.360 --> 1:47:24.479 I think, like all the new artists, like you know 1:47:24.600 --> 1:47:26.960 the people are you know last y'all legends. 1:47:27.680 --> 1:47:30.360 But when she came on, that was the sound that 1:47:30.479 --> 1:47:32.320 I was looking for. Like I just sat back. I 1:47:32.400 --> 1:47:35.519 was like, that's hard. You know what I'm saying, But 1:47:35.680 --> 1:47:38.280 it's not. It's not the sound that I came up to. 1:47:39.479 --> 1:47:41.120 Are when you look for artists, are you looking for 1:47:41.200 --> 1:47:44.240 the new sound, you're looking for the old sound, or 1:47:44.280 --> 1:47:44.800 you're looking for. 1:47:44.920 --> 1:47:45.519 Just what's hot? 1:47:46.880 --> 1:47:50.960 First of all, hot people that look for how always fail? 1:47:51.320 --> 1:47:54.960 Right for every label that shigned the hot artists, show 1:47:55.000 --> 1:47:56.720 me ten labels that shinned the hot artists, and I 1:47:56.720 --> 1:47:59.960 would show you ten labels that probably fucked up those 1:48:00.080 --> 1:48:03.240 artist careers or failed with those artists. Because in life, 1:48:03.360 --> 1:48:09.000 anything that is hot cools offency. When I when I 1:48:09.160 --> 1:48:11.160 when I when I see an artist or somebody that 1:48:11.280 --> 1:48:15.560 catches my attention, it's not even just skill, because. 1:48:16.840 --> 1:48:18.040 I'm looking for skill if. 1:48:17.960 --> 1:48:20.200 It's for my personal appreciation, Like if I want to 1:48:20.240 --> 1:48:22.680 listen to something, but as an artist, it has to 1:48:22.720 --> 1:48:27.679 be a total package because skill can be boring at times. 1:48:28.240 --> 1:48:29.840 You could be you could say some of the dopest 1:48:29.840 --> 1:48:33.760 shit ever, but be boring. So as an artist, you 1:48:33.880 --> 1:48:36.320 have to have a package. You have to have a pill. 1:48:36.840 --> 1:48:40.040 As a person, you have to have character, you have 1:48:40.120 --> 1:48:43.120 to have skill, and if you have to have marketability, 1:48:43.360 --> 1:48:46.240 how marketable is this person. That's because at the end 1:48:46.280 --> 1:48:48.720 of the day, we don't sign people for glory. We 1:48:48.800 --> 1:48:51.360 sign up for a business. So I'm going to invest 1:48:51.479 --> 1:48:54.599 in you, so I have to get my investment back. 1:48:55.040 --> 1:48:57.680 So the first artist I ever signed was Donya I had. 1:48:57.760 --> 1:49:00.720 I had a Puerto Rican rapper named Donya. She was 1:49:00.760 --> 1:49:04.519 on my lead onto album. I had a buzzing crazy 1:49:04.720 --> 1:49:05.760 She's about to come back. 1:49:05.800 --> 1:49:06.599 I'm about to start rumber. 1:49:06.880 --> 1:49:10.800 Had a buzzing so crazy, like big Big Labels. 1:49:10.560 --> 1:49:15.920 Is calling me about her. But then she had a 1:49:15.960 --> 1:49:17.720 couple of babies and she, you know, she started doing 1:49:17.760 --> 1:49:19.160 her own thing. So I let her do her own thing. 1:49:19.640 --> 1:49:21.200 But when you know, I'm the type person when you're 1:49:21.280 --> 1:49:22.080 ready will work. 1:49:22.439 --> 1:49:26.280 But I know I know how to market artists, and 1:49:26.360 --> 1:49:29.360 when I when you work with an artist, when you're 1:49:29.400 --> 1:49:30.000 a rapper. 1:49:30.760 --> 1:49:33.720 You can't wear both hats. Sometimes you have to take off. 1:49:34.080 --> 1:49:35.960 You take off your rapper hat when you're dealing with 1:49:36.080 --> 1:49:38.880 your artists, Like you want your artist to be bigger 1:49:38.920 --> 1:49:41.360 than you unless you just want to unless you want 1:49:41.400 --> 1:49:43.960 to stagnate yourself, Like I told her, you're gonna be 1:49:44.000 --> 1:49:46.720 bigger than me. YadA, YadA, y'alla. So when I when 1:49:46.760 --> 1:49:48.439 I see an artist, if the artist is. 1:49:48.479 --> 1:49:50.479 Dope, I don't care how dope they are, but I 1:49:50.800 --> 1:49:53.760 want the whole package, Like how how how much of 1:49:53.840 --> 1:49:56.519 impact can this artists have or how marketable is this artist? 1:49:56.680 --> 1:49:59.800 Like if you marketable and you dope, and that's in 1:49:59.840 --> 1:50:02.080 the investment. But if you just dope, that might just 1:50:02.160 --> 1:50:04.120 be a low. That's just good just for the neighborhood. 1:50:04.360 --> 1:50:05.439 I'm trying to do the world. 1:50:07.840 --> 1:50:09.479 It feels like the a in Korey. 1:50:09.520 --> 1:50:11.360 I want you in on this because it feels like 1:50:11.439 --> 1:50:15.120 the atmosphere has changed right now. All the latest artists 1:50:15.240 --> 1:50:19.599 they have different color hair sh it's changed a lot 1:50:20.080 --> 1:50:23.200 they have like you know, yeah, it's. 1:50:24.240 --> 1:50:30.679 Like is that something you either y'all ever get landing 1:50:30.680 --> 1:50:32.280 out Corey, Like you know, you've been in the game 1:50:32.360 --> 1:50:33.800 so long you can have an artist, you know what 1:50:33.800 --> 1:50:34.200 I'm saying. 1:50:34.720 --> 1:50:37.760 So is that something like because at the end of 1:50:37.800 --> 1:50:39.960 the day, I don't care how you look. I don't 1:50:40.000 --> 1:50:43.760 care what your whatever, your preferences. If you make dope music, 1:50:44.520 --> 1:50:47.640 I'm in adupe music. And that's what this generation is 1:50:47.760 --> 1:50:51.040 leaning towards. Is that anything you will ever get with, like, 1:50:51.120 --> 1:50:55.040 you know, just a person with different color hair, and 1:50:55.840 --> 1:50:59.280 you know, just different people, Like it's not about a girl. 1:50:59.320 --> 1:51:02.400 You're talking about girl if it's a girl with different 1:51:02.439 --> 1:51:07.160 color here, yeah, right now. 1:51:07.680 --> 1:51:12.080 The hot people that dudes have like this ship, yeah yeah, 1:51:12.240 --> 1:51:13.479 this is like a couple of them. 1:51:13.640 --> 1:51:16.000 Let me tell you why hot doesn't mean nothing right 1:51:17.080 --> 1:51:19.200 look at me, for I'm a perfect example. 1:51:20.160 --> 1:51:22.040 If you look at older artists that was hot while I. 1:51:22.120 --> 1:51:24.160 Was on the shelf, and you know what I'm saying, 1:51:24.160 --> 1:51:25.880 they was doing their numbers and I was felling, like 1:51:26.240 --> 1:51:28.240 my life, I'm not just go bump again, you know. 1:51:28.479 --> 1:51:29.080 Hustle again. 1:51:30.160 --> 1:51:31.920 Where they are right now, where I'm at right now, 1:51:32.600 --> 1:51:35.479 they can't even get a show. I know that that 1:51:35.600 --> 1:51:38.479 was hot that can't even get an indie deal. So 1:51:38.600 --> 1:51:44.040 it's like hot hot doesn't pay the rent, yo consistency 1:51:44.880 --> 1:51:46.720 and you have to. You have to know what your 1:51:46.840 --> 1:51:49.200 market is. It's like, yo, like back in the day, 1:51:49.280 --> 1:51:51.160 the dude that sell we ain't gonna. 1:51:51.000 --> 1:51:51.880 Go to a crackhouse. 1:51:52.880 --> 1:51:55.479 So it's like you got to know who you're selling 1:51:55.520 --> 1:51:56.960 your material to. You have to. 1:51:57.120 --> 1:51:59.879 You have to know between a career and a moment exactly. 1:52:00.200 --> 1:52:03.120 A lot of dudes have moments. I don't a moment, 1:52:03.320 --> 1:52:05.920 but a moment is only a moment. A moment's not 1:52:06.000 --> 1:52:08.559 going to carry you. So you know what I'm saying, certain. 1:52:08.439 --> 1:52:11.880 Artists, we're talking about career exactly. Career, career, you over, 1:52:12.000 --> 1:52:13.960 that's what makes you a legend. When you're over ten years, 1:52:14.439 --> 1:52:16.240 you're getting the money. Like I tell rappers a lot 1:52:16.240 --> 1:52:18.720 of no no, Kase Slave tell rappers a lot of time. 1:52:18.800 --> 1:52:21.479 I would listen to Kate Slave show and he'd be like, if. 1:52:21.360 --> 1:52:24.240 You ain't paying your bills through your shit, then it's 1:52:24.320 --> 1:52:28.200 not a fucking job all career. That's real, that's true. 1:52:28.360 --> 1:52:32.320 Kase Slave is an unsung hero because big up Kase slack. 1:52:32.479 --> 1:52:34.720 Kate Slave is one of the dudes that give the 1:52:34.880 --> 1:52:37.519 voiceless a voice.

And I 1:56:26.440 --> 1:56:29.919 would never get into like one of the first gangsters 1:56:29.960 --> 1:56:34.640 I was introduced to was Lake and Cormega and queens Bridge, 1:56:35.840 --> 1:56:38.600 and they said he rapped, but he was a gangster. 1:56:38.880 --> 1:56:40.600 I was like eleven years old, like you know what 1:56:40.640 --> 1:56:41.000 I'm saying. 1:56:41.080 --> 1:56:42.920 So I was like, you know what I mean, just 1:56:43.000 --> 1:56:47.360 to see you because the thing about this life is life. 1:56:47.560 --> 1:56:51.320 I'm about to say rap or music, but life is 1:56:51.400 --> 1:56:54.920 a marathon, no doubt, so it doesn't matter how hard 1:56:55.040 --> 1:56:57.600 you catch on. She The one thing I love about 1:56:57.680 --> 1:57:01.320 DJ Envy is when he kept saying you charged me, 1:57:01.440 --> 1:57:04.280 Norri and then but you gotta realize what he said 1:57:04.400 --> 1:57:06.600 after that, because I said, I don't know how long 1:57:06.720 --> 1:57:10.320 it would be hot, and every hustle I ever. 1:57:10.320 --> 1:57:13.080 Had, I was hot for a second if I move on, 1:57:13.320 --> 1:57:16.560 So I'm always scared. So I do something and then 1:57:16.600 --> 1:57:17.120 I move on. 1:57:18.680 --> 1:57:19.320 And I move on. 1:57:19.560 --> 1:57:21.760 So that's why I got like seven lives in this ship. 1:57:21.840 --> 1:57:24.040 People don't realize it. I was Spanish on these niggas 1:57:24.040 --> 1:57:29.760 as well. Turned Spanish like I'm doing what I gotta do, 1:57:30.480 --> 1:57:34.000 what I gotta do. Because I've never borrowed money. 1:57:34.000 --> 1:57:36.000 I don't know what that feels like to you know, but. 1:57:36.080 --> 1:57:38.040 But I gotta say something that's half of the Drink 1:57:38.120 --> 1:57:41.000 Champs as well. Yes, because because I feel like and listen, 1:57:41.160 --> 1:57:41.800 I always. 1:57:41.560 --> 1:57:44.120 Knew Nord was great for this. That's why we pushed 1:57:44.160 --> 1:57:44.880 for this to happen. 1:57:45.560 --> 1:57:49.680 But I represent the the DJ that that's always been 1:57:49.720 --> 1:57:53.280 in the background, that's always worked up in the djew 1:57:53.280 --> 1:57:57.240 ever being around here always like, first, you know, there's 1:57:57.240 --> 1:57:59.800 a lot of celebrity DJs out there, but there's that 1:58:00.280 --> 1:58:02.960 of DJs across the country and across the world that 1:58:03.080 --> 1:58:05.920 have helped build careers for artists. No, no, you know, 1:58:06.080 --> 1:58:08.800 I'm a mixtape DJ. There's mix show DJs, and we 1:58:08.880 --> 1:58:11.680 didn't have voices. You know, we weren't celebrity DJs, unheralded. 1:58:11.840 --> 1:58:13.640 Yeah, we did our work and then that's. 1:58:13.520 --> 1:58:15.160 What I feel my role in this is, you know, 1:58:15.240 --> 1:58:17.880 we built this together. But I always knew that he 1:58:17.960 --> 1:58:19.720 had the talent for this, like this is this is 1:58:20.000 --> 1:58:20.640 this is natural. 1:58:20.760 --> 1:58:21.000 First. 1:58:21.840 --> 1:58:25.520 But I said that to somebody about Norioso, I said recently, 1:58:25.760 --> 1:58:29.520 I said, because you know, when son happens in our genre, 1:58:29.680 --> 1:58:30.640 everybody copies. 1:58:31.120 --> 1:58:33.120 I was like, this is one thing people better not 1:58:33.240 --> 1:58:34.800 try to copy because. 1:58:36.040 --> 1:58:37.440 But they're gonna fail. 1:58:37.760 --> 1:58:39.320 And you know why he's even beating out some of 1:58:39.360 --> 1:58:42.920 the other podcasts. You gotta they gotta understand one two things. 1:58:43.240 --> 1:58:46.560 For one, he's a rapper, so he got a different 1:58:46.640 --> 1:58:48.440 kind of relationships and history with people. 1:58:49.280 --> 1:58:51.200 Right. Look, he's very smart too. 1:58:53.520 --> 1:58:56.520 One of the things that Norby has always had about 1:58:56.640 --> 1:58:59.360 him that carried him even more than skilled. 1:59:00.040 --> 1:59:05.000 He got personalities. So, as we were saying earlier, skill 1:59:05.200 --> 1:59:09.760 isn't always it. He has personality. There's not no blogger 1:59:09.800 --> 1:59:13.200 that has his personality. So some of them is doing this. 1:59:13.520 --> 1:59:16.280 Some some people want to be stars. They're doing this 1:59:16.440 --> 1:59:18.080 to be stars. He's already a star. 1:59:19.040 --> 1:59:21.840 So he has a personality and he's likable. You can't 1:59:21.880 --> 1:59:22.240 mess that. 1:59:23.200 --> 1:59:23.800 I'm gonna just try. 1:59:23.880 --> 1:59:25.560 He never take it, but I'm gonna try. I'll just 1:59:25.640 --> 1:59:27.840 passing the blood. Just tell me you did it hero early. 1:59:27.960 --> 1:59:31.320 It makes me feel it makes me feel bad, It makes. 1:59:31.200 --> 1:59:31.720 Me feel better. 1:59:32.480 --> 1:59:36.800 But you know the thing about what I want to 1:59:36.800 --> 1:59:39.640 explain to people when when people break down a journalist 1:59:40.120 --> 1:59:43.480 like although I did take journalists classes, but I never 1:59:43.560 --> 1:59:44.520 want to be a journalist. 1:59:44.800 --> 1:59:47.080 You know why journalist? That's a secret. I did take it. 1:59:47.160 --> 1:59:49.560 It's in jail. I'm sorry. I don't want to go there. 1:59:49.960 --> 1:59:51.720 I didn't want to go to there, but just want 1:59:51.720 --> 1:59:53.680 to tell you, like when you when you deal with 1:59:53.760 --> 1:59:58.320 a journalist, a journalist will never fuck with you because 1:59:58.320 --> 2:00:01.000 what I mean is they'll when they do the interview 2:00:01.080 --> 2:00:05.440 with you, they'll get you. They'll they'll promote you that week, 2:00:06.280 --> 2:00:10.040 they'll be retweeting everything you're doing. They're doing that, but 2:00:10.200 --> 2:00:13.880 then guess what after that week is over your number 2:00:14.000 --> 2:00:15.600 and their number is a. 2:00:15.960 --> 2:00:18.600 Rap because the journalist could never. 2:00:18.520 --> 2:00:22.440 Be friends with an artist because when it comes time 2:00:22.560 --> 2:00:25.680 to shit on you, they can't be close to you. 2:00:27.240 --> 2:00:29.920 You understand what I'm saying. So that's the reason why 2:00:30.000 --> 2:00:33.200 I mean, and this is science I'm breaking out. 2:00:33.200 --> 2:00:39.160 I believe in science, and in science, no journalists, like 2:00:39.440 --> 2:00:42.200 there's very few journalists that you can be close to, 2:00:42.640 --> 2:00:43.879 like a Rob Marksman. 2:00:44.640 --> 2:00:47.120 That's a guy we need to step back and sloot 2:00:48.160 --> 2:00:51.080 because that guy is about real hip hop and if 2:00:51.120 --> 2:00:55.000 people report something that is he's gonna stand by. 2:01:00.240 --> 2:01:02.680 There's a lot of real journalists. 2:01:02.120 --> 2:01:05.280 Out there journalistic integrity, but we don't. 2:01:05.320 --> 2:01:07.280 We don't have to. It's not my man. 2:01:07.440 --> 2:01:10.960 Doggy Diamonds Domons, Doggy Diamonds, Doggymon. 2:01:11.760 --> 2:01:14.000 Doggy Diamonds is a Street.

These people that don't care 2:01:35.960 --> 2:01:39.720 about that journalist or let me get hot and get 2:01:39.760 --> 2:01:42.760 some clicks, those are the people I respect right there, 2:01:43.040 --> 2:01:46.200 those people, the Rob Marksman, the Doggy Diamonds is because 2:01:46.560 --> 2:01:50.560 it's about their integrity as opposed and just just think 2:01:50.600 --> 2:01:53.640 about it. I've been I've been in this game. I'll 2:01:53.720 --> 2:01:59.920 be twenty years at two thousand and seventeen, okay, Bright. 2:02:01.360 --> 2:02:04.000 A journalist ain't never really try to be your friend. 2:02:04.480 --> 2:02:07.560 And they make it clear.

So if you got 2:02:13.160 --> 2:02:15.200 to do his phone number, still watch out. Because it's 2:02:15.240 --> 2:02:18.880 twenty and sixteen, it's very different. They're just trying to 2:02:18.960 --> 2:02:20.920 get you to come and because they try to get ratings. 2:02:21.160 --> 2:02:23.960 But after that week is over, after that day, is over, 2:02:24.280 --> 2:02:26.800 they go right back because you know why, they might 2:02:26.880 --> 2:02:29.400 have to shit on you. If your baby mother follows 2:02:29.400 --> 2:02:33.520 a lawsuit against you, they might have to.

And this 2:14:36.160 --> 2:14:37.840 is the real life.

What 2:22:12.840 --> 2:22:17.280 I've been saying is and I've never ever compared hip hop, 2:22:18.120 --> 2:22:20.760 plight or struggle compared. 2:22:20.440 --> 2:22:24.240 To gay people at all. Right, But I respect gay 2:22:24.320 --> 2:22:26.720 people like I got mad gay. But sure, right whatever, 2:22:27.000 --> 2:22:28.560 I don't know what this is going for. But look 2:22:29.080 --> 2:22:31.400 what I'm saying is my favorite hotel in the whole 2:22:31.440 --> 2:22:34.600 wide world. There's a W hotel. No matter what W 2:22:34.800 --> 2:22:37.400 hotel I go to, there's a gay flag out there. 2:22:37.760 --> 2:22:38.360 Cool or no. 2:22:38.480 --> 2:22:41.840 Problem has no doesn't offend me. Like I said, I'll 2:22:41.879 --> 2:22:44.200 be down there taking shots with them. Really like it's 2:22:44.200 --> 2:22:45.680 all good in my family. 2:22:45.680 --> 2:22:46.200 It doesn't matter. 2:22:47.720 --> 2:22:51.160 But in my mind, and I'm not comparing hip hop's 2:22:51.320 --> 2:22:55.400 plight towards but in my mind, I thought that was 2:22:55.440 --> 2:22:57.480 a dope idea. But when I think it's a dope, 2:22:57.520 --> 2:22:59.120 I da, I think it's a dope ida when I 2:22:59.200 --> 2:23:03.600 go to arrest, or I go to something a hotel, 2:23:04.080 --> 2:23:06.200 or or playing soccer. 2:23:07.120 --> 2:23:10.720 Or I said soccer, what I meant bowling bowling? Like 2:23:10.959 --> 2:23:13.200 when I go bowling, what happens if it's a hip 2:23:13.240 --> 2:23:14.240 hop flag there? 2:23:15.120 --> 2:23:17.320 So they know because I've been to a restaurant before 2:23:17.600 --> 2:23:19.879 where I jumped out the car. I didn't smoke weed 2:23:19.959 --> 2:23:23.720 at the restaurant and they told me you smell it 2:23:23.920 --> 2:23:27.680 too bad, and they told me to go. One time 2:23:27.760 --> 2:23:28.640 I was in the airport. 2:23:28.720 --> 2:23:31.279 I swear to God, you could ask say this this message, 2:23:31.440 --> 2:23:33.480 I mean this, this this ship we walked to the 2:23:33.560 --> 2:23:37.640 airport was who was father bought a plane? The nigga said, 2:23:37.800 --> 2:23:41.840 you can't smoke here. I said, what the fuck? You know? 2:23:42.720 --> 2:23:45.440 Like do I look like I smoke? Like like I said, 2:23:45.680 --> 2:23:48.400 maybe I do. But that's the point that was prejudice. 2:23:48.680 --> 2:23:51.680 So what I'm saying is, if there was a Tereo tag, 2:23:51.959 --> 2:23:55.600 it's stereotype sothing that says you're welcome here, hippout flag 2:23:56.160 --> 2:23:56.680 like life. 2:23:57.120 --> 2:23:59.640 And I'm not comparing all because you know, I'm not 2:23:59.680 --> 2:24:02.360 gonna be hip hop to the gay struggle because you know, 2:24:02.840 --> 2:24:05.360 respect to respect to both sides. But what I'm saying 2:24:05.480 --> 2:24:08.280 is that was a great way to me. Like when 2:24:08.280 --> 2:24:11.360 I seen that, it was like, you know, like, you're 2:24:11.440 --> 2:24:15.800 welcome here. So let's suppose I go to I want 2:24:15.840 --> 2:24:16.640 to go bowling. 2:24:17.080 --> 2:24:20.160 I'm never bowld in my life. I wouldn't want to 2:24:20.200 --> 2:24:22.320 go bowling. Now I want to go bowling. I want 2:24:22.360 --> 2:24:26.840 to put the funny shoes on right now. I'll go bowling. 2:24:27.959 --> 2:24:30.240 I'll walk in there smelling like a bounce up cush. 2:24:31.360 --> 2:24:34.360 They tell me you must exit. I have to respect 2:24:34.400 --> 2:24:37.440 their establishment. Like when Twin went in the taco spot. 2:24:39.959 --> 2:24:42.920 Twin winning the taco spot got us kicked out immediately. 2:24:43.600 --> 2:24:46.080 O nigga's a hated old sign. Why can you fuck 2:24:46.120 --> 2:24:46.600 this girl? No? 2:24:46.680 --> 2:24:48.640 I fuck that because I went to high school with 2:24:48.680 --> 2:24:48.959 him and he. 2:24:49.000 --> 2:24:51.800 See me with no sons. I don't know how this 2:24:51.840 --> 2:24:53.680 guy blamed on me. I'm gonna change this up there again, 2:24:54.200 --> 2:24:55.280 bring it right back over here. 2:24:56.320 --> 2:24:58.440 But you don't think you don't agree with that, Meganis. 2:24:58.600 --> 2:25:00.960 I'm talking about wherever you're at the world. Let's suppose 2:25:01.040 --> 2:25:04.440 you in lu Zudorf, Germany. Supposed you in Moscow and 2:25:04.560 --> 2:25:06.960 you look like this is this is the main street, right, 2:25:07.040 --> 2:25:09.600 this is the main street of whatever market or whatever 2:25:09.680 --> 2:25:10.280 place you go to. 2:25:10.680 --> 2:25:12.840 And you look and the promoters like, yeah, this is the. 2:25:12.840 --> 2:25:14.920 Best restaurant, and you'll be like, all right, that's the 2:25:15.000 --> 2:25:15.720 best restaurant. 2:25:15.920 --> 2:25:19.280 But the hip hop flag is right here. I can 2:25:19.400 --> 2:25:20.600 go there and do some lot. 2:25:20.840 --> 2:25:24.000 I don't think we'll ever get that flag, all right, because. 2:25:24.080 --> 2:25:28.280 My dreams has been crushed. I hope no the police 2:25:28.360 --> 2:25:30.920 hurt my feelings. Please because I hurt your feeling. You 2:25:30.959 --> 2:25:34.240 know what, why don't you make one? No? No, I 2:25:34.320 --> 2:25:37.240 got one I forgot when I saved it, Dude, send 2:25:37.320 --> 2:25:40.040 me it. I was like, I love posted no idea 2:25:40.720 --> 2:25:44.080 the one I love. I saved it and you lost it. 2:25:44.240 --> 2:25:45.280 I don't know where I put it. 2:25:45.440 --> 2:25:48.480 It's somewhere. It's in my phone somewhere. It's got to 2:25:48.520 --> 2:25:50.240 be more than just it's just an eight and age. 2:25:50.320 --> 2:25:52.600 It's got to be an organization, but not in the flag. 2:25:52.840 --> 2:25:54.600 You know what. It's deeper than hip hop though, because 2:25:54.600 --> 2:25:56.000 at the end of the day, let me tell you 2:25:56.120 --> 2:25:59.720 something that I've learned from the world. Everywhere in the 2:25:59.720 --> 2:26:05.879 world world right, people are biased towards people of color, 2:26:06.959 --> 2:26:10.600 and hip hop is just wanted to identifiers of our culture. 2:26:10.640 --> 2:26:12.120 That's something that they identify or. 2:26:12.120 --> 2:26:15.080 Relate us with. They always assume we smoke weed. 2:26:15.400 --> 2:26:18.080 They always assume that we're up to something, and they 2:26:18.120 --> 2:26:19.480 always look at us suspicious. 2:26:21.480 --> 2:26:25.160 You have to learn, especially certain European places. There's been 2:26:25.200 --> 2:26:29.400 places where like you might even experience this from like 2:26:29.440 --> 2:26:31.720 that bumba till you won't even say excuse me in Europe. 2:26:32.160 --> 2:26:33.840 So it's like I'm trying to figure. 2:26:33.720 --> 2:26:35.160 Now or none of that. 2:26:37.680 --> 2:26:40.279 The niggas that don't re Yoda in Europe they found niggas, 2:26:40.440 --> 2:26:41.240 respect them niggas. 2:26:43.280 --> 2:26:45.160 You know that, Mega, You'll be out there all the time. 2:26:45.360 --> 2:26:47.840 So listen to Mecca.
