We don't tell the artists what we go through. 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.120 We want to make sure the artists know you had 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:01.800 a good time.

And it's signs and and and 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.039 and it's times that you're with an artist I've never 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.600 heard of it. And it's times that you legal fees 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.520 for fucking sniper. It's time that you want. The thing 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.760 is the artist never knows. You don't want to put 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.800 your artists in that state of mind, like, don't worry 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.000 about that bullshit. That's why they hires caused what we 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.960 cause exactly we go through the storm we're going through. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.360 Let me to you and I don't need I want 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.000 to ask you out something because from our era of 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.599 doing the street team stuff, y'all still signing the waiver 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.760 for for for like putting up but the snipe snipe, 0:05:53.360 --> 0:06:00.279 snipe snipe, there's no more. Back in the day. Side, yeah, 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.080 back in the days, you know, you know how you 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.280 saw your posters everywhere. We had to sign a waiver 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:12.479 that released the label from the obligation. And I have 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.040 to get props real quick to Echo because we worked 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.240 for Echo Clothing and Echoes. The street dude to the 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.919 graffiti and they came in. They made us sign the 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.640 same waiver, but they flew me out to his headquarters. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.360 We signed the waiver and then his lawyer was there 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.360 and when he walked away, and then the lawyer came 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.720 back and said, y'all signed that, that's official. But if 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.640 anybody in your team gets locked up for that, here's 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.240 my card, y'all call me and I'm gonna bail them out. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.880 Not everybody to do that. But one thing, one thing 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.520 hardists don't know. That's the good every one thing artists 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.680 don't realize. One thing hartists don't realize. Right, it was 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.520 the era of back in the day when I was 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:52.280 working Jaro Exitus album and fed Joe's album, right, and 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.400 this is when the fifties cent and the fed Joe's ship, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.599 and the ship was going down. It was going down, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:02.880 it was going out, like people don't understand. People don't 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:09.320 understand the war on the street. That was campaign for right, 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.600 so hold on, let me, I want to cut your wisdom. Right. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:16.280 This is this talking about how the artists are understand 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.880 being that like being that g unit. No, no, it 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:24.400 was Violator, God bless on Chris Lider, Violator, Violator writer. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.800 Fat Joe was on Capitol at that time, so they 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.480 hired me to do Capital and I was doing death 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.320 Jam all right. So I'm doing I'm doing I'm doing 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.040 I'm doing Rules Exit this album, and I'm doing somebody 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.000 else right and I'm doing Um Terror Squad, I mean 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.080 Fat Joe's album. We're still doing that now. Violator, send 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:51.440 out now violated, hold on, violated. So Violator says, these 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.360 two niggas can't live in the street. So now they're 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.920 ripping down all the posters. So as you're working crazy 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.440 putting up the post you are all night. You are 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.280 all night, three four or five in the morning, and 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.240 these motherfucker's are ripping and shipped down. Remind you there 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.800 with the Krita hurricane that year, because it was the 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:17.840 empty award. Yeah, so now I'm fighting all these but 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.680 that year. But what I'm trying to explain to you 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.800 all is that the artists don't understand the war we 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:27.640 go through because why the labels like, yo, we have 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:33.280 to get John Rou's album Exodus moving. We need Fat 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:39.240 Joe ship moving and violated like anything, shake and tear 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:44.840 it down. So now, so now I'm out here putting 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.800 up the ship and I'm going three blocks down and 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:51.320 I come back all this ship's ripped down. So I'm like, yo, 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.200 who the fund is doing this ship? So I'm walking 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.400 around looking around. Finally, you know, going around, I see 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.520 a violated truck going bomb like they didn't go right there. 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.720 So now you gotta chase that motherfuck the truck down 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.200 and beat them niggers up as wall and it's real, 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.040 it's real life. It's real life beef. But remember you 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.840 don't know the artists and you're doing it. Yeah, they 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.040 don't even let you the You you don't even get 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.240 in the club because why they didn't give you a 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.720 wrist band. The street team guy stand outside and now 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:28.560 you're battling for for for position. So now violators ripping 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.280 everything down. Exodus j Rus no good in the street. 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.280 Fat Joe is no good in the street. These niggas 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.600 gotta go at fifty cent is raining, so we gotta 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.880 battle now. Is beef is real life beef. So now 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.360 we're fighting these niggas, we're scrapping. We like this is 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.520 real blood. Niggas is spelling real blood in street. And 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:54.040 then Sean present Pec had to come together out the 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.960 side of that time. They had to come to us 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:03.360 like Jaz and Puffy hangs out j M. You know 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.760 they know the fucking the hants that have fucking martinis. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:11.719 You notice, right, y'all.

Nobody fucked 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.600 with us. Now. It was fine. It was found real 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.960 talk we had when out of town niggers came in 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:27.040 out of town motherfuckers, and that's what we had to 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.360 fight them. That was that was difference. We always help 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.840 each other down, like we always say, Yo, get that 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.720 block over there, sweetness, something we overhere. You know, we 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.360 always help keep it going. But jah Ru ruined Fat Joe. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.560 Then no I'm sorry, Fat Joe knew Ru didn't know 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.439 the battle we were going through in the shop, DJP, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.200 I had the junior account and you had that account. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.040 When you're talking about what unit, is that what you're 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:58.000 talking about.

I definitely want to pick up. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.920 I definitely want to pick up Fat Joe because Fat 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.120 Joe when when he was independent and he said in 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.280 the Independent, but he had a capital deal, I mean 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.280 Battery Records, um deal, and he put out his album 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.480 and we was going told the toll war for everybody. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.360 For Fat Joe. Fat Joe was like, Yo, Shampoo, where 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.320 you at? I said you, I'm over. He's like, yo, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.400 meet me here and gave me a thousand dollars out 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.840 of his pocket. Like Yo, my nigga, I see what 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.120 you're doing. I appreciate you here. Artists ain't Niggies don't 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.720 do that. Biggs don't do that. They don't understand with 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.719 the sacrifice that we put in to get them their 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.080 visualility because there wasn't hot. There wasn't hot. They think 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.240 all the money that they're giving us we keep, but 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.840 we don't. Don't. We keep left in half because we're 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.800 taking care of the city because we don't need. First 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.280 of all, let's be honest. The regulator pays bullshit, absolutely, 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.640 and then we get because keep honest all the way 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:34.000 over pays bullshit. They pay all us as a company, 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:39.080 and you have employees and in the mood and I 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.680 ain't looking for no regular label or no deal or not. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.240 But that's how the true. So how did they treat 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:51.600 the Street team or the street team? It was always 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.440 look if you allowed to be disrespected. I'm not and 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.280 I'm not saying this because I'm on the show and 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:01.120 I'm talking shit, I really promise you. I was always 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.440 the person that he was the boss. No, no, I 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.520 was always foul on the conference call. I was always argumentive, 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.480 but you know me, I was always talking, but I 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.560 was always talking back to the person runder the conference call. 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.880 I hated conference calls number one because you had someone 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.280 on the conference and they talk ship and everybody in 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.480 the sub in the submarkets were just listening and this 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.920 guy's barking on everybody, and it's like, yo, fucking dude, man, 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:34.120 fun this motherfucker you guys. And I'm not gonna name 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.160 no names, but one of those dudes came to Miami 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.840 embarked on me. I said, but where are you fell blue, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.840 I'm coming. When I saw him, he said, no, I 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:50.120 was just playing brover. But I worked for death Jame 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.120 at the time. That's the only thing I'm gonna say 0:15:52.640 --> 0:16:01.000 every time, and even worse, especially when when do you 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.680 just want to show their plats and all that the 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.280 bathroom bathroom for me? Do we get a bathroom bread? Yeah, 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.640 everybody gets a break hold on, hold on, not to 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.120 shake a break a cigarette break too. Everybody go to 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:28.040 the bathroom. Roll up you, Mr the Lee, give me 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.560 one a little a little bit of something I ain't know, 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.800 I don't know. Stopped. You've got so many accounts. Back guys, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:41.440 told you to relax to right back guys, backus, backup, guys, guys, guys, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.840 back guys.

But back 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.000 guys with the guy, God bless him. When he fired 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.920 THEO Brown. He came to me, you know, he came 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.440 to me. When he came to me and was like, yo, Pool, 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.240 come come outside with me. And like whenever of the 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.960 senior VP tells you, yo, come take a walk with you, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.160 like you like, oh, here about to find me. So 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.360 he's like, yo, come walk with me. So I walk 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.920 outside with him. He's like, Yo, I know THEO brought 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.600 you in and that's your man, right. I'm like yeah. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.440 He was like yo, but after for July weekend, we're 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.560 about to let him go. I just want to let 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.960 you know. You know what I mean. I want to 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:31.639 know what you're gonna do. I said with you sorry, 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.640 but to me, being a real nigger, I told they're 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:41.520 gonna fire you guys. It was like, nah, they I 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:45.040 got a contract. I got a contract, Like nah, I 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.760 was about to back you out there. He was like nah. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.360 And and then he called me like some bullshit fun 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.800 these nigga they let me go. Then let me go 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.720 pull it in me like I told you told me. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.960 And then Peg has Peg has a found name. Bull 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:07.240 coming on. I want to talk to you, yo, I 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:13.240 want you to deal job. I'm like, I'm in what 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.320 I gotta do? You ain't charging of all these niggas, 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.159 go go, go go. We got a new orders called 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.720 Fucking the snow Man. We got a new nigger called 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.760 Rick Cross. He got a record called Hustler, and we 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.639 got a new girl from Barbados. That's called Rihanna. That 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.360 was a big movement like we had, like we had 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.400 like millions of and we had to make it a lot. 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.840 You know. You look, you can relate. And I'm gonna 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.359 getting something that the Nori could relate to where he 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.960 understands a little bit more than now. You will, you will, 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.400 you can relate to it. By the way, when I 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.440 was pushing some rock on you, he likes to throw 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.320 this out there. No I have to. I have to 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.919 because it makes sense. So what we're talking about right now, 0:18:55.040 --> 0:19:01.399 like the beginning is the beginning to push my job 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.760 working for President, they didn't even have the rock company 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.400 pushing it yet. It was going through p M I 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.679 Moves Inc. And President them. They would send me a 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.240 case and they were like, yo, push just to the tastemakers. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:19.200 The taste makers was like, I don't want it. I 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:25.200 would push it to good. I couldn't give it away 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.440 what I'm saying. So what I'm trying to say the 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.080 point of this is is that it's the same thing, 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.240 like look at where it's at now. It takes so 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.480 much blood, sweat and tears, a lot of rejection. That's 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.560 what the Street Team world is that's what the promotion 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:40.040 world is. That's what we don't have. No means, we 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.080 don't have. And then when it's all said and done, 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.879 nobody remembers the person that was on the battlefield in 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:50.040 the beginning. But we know that absolutely, and we don't 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.800 have anybody to recognize that but ourselves. And to be fair, 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.960 it's only a small group of us. Like you, if 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.000 you hire a shampoo, you gotta hire a sweetness if 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.000 you are sweeten. But is there anybody? Is there anybody 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.080 that you personally felt like you did so much for 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:07.760 their career? Hell yeah, all of them and they don't 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.160 recognize you. But but you know what it is, it's 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:18.520 not that's the right. Yeah. Yeah, he's from Merrimories, from 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:27.159 Miami something my motherfucking couch. Yes, yeah, but you know what, 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.720 Like I said, who want? But like I said, I'm 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.200 in hip hop. He turned pop, which I knew he wouldn't. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.119 Who wants to work with the person that soothes At 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:36.480 the end of the day, I'm in hip hop. I'm 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.200 not in the pop world, and I don't want to 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.080 be in the pop world. I don't want to do country, 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:41.480 I don't want to do nothing. I'm in hip hop. 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.199 That's what I want to be a part of. I 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.920 want to be a part of hip hop history. So yeah, 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.440 that's fine. Like I said, I will take that l 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.960 because at the end of the day, I am who 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.359 I am and I got so much more going on. 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:56.480 So why so why are you even bothered? But you 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.880 don't have to take the l Quiet, that's why we're 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.200 talking right now. I mean right, what I'm saying, that's 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:06.439 what I'm saying that never take that out quiet, But 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.919 in hip hobably you have to. You have to because 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:13.520 because now now you become a threat. Now you're aggressive. 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:19.320 Now be aggressive? Right right? Yeah? You better? And what 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.560 they do, what they do? What they do? Okay, I'm better. Yeah, 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.560 but what they do they fire you, and how are 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:29.040 you underling? And they've done that. You know what you do, 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.480 then you remix your career and you keep it moving down. 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:36.000 But then then it's hard for you to get back in. No, No, 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.840 I don't want to go back in. I elevated. I 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.159 moved forward, not to everybody. Is that for? Well? I 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:44.720 don't know if Sweetness remembers or nose or remembers. I 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.520 worked just like you. I worked every we work. We 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:51.520 worked actually the whole company. The whole company, we had 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.080 every account under the sun. I admire that. And then 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.159 you guys know, I'm sure you understand it as the 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.840 industry champion team right here. As the industry change, the 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:06.199 different underlings to undercut. So if you did it for 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.920 a thousand or a month, they did it for eight 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.160 hundred a month. And then and then it started shifting, 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.480 right and the people that you kind of like trained 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.040 and helped them and show them the way. We're checking 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:22.240 your accounts. So what do you do. It's either one 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.640 which I wanted to beat all the asses, and then 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.439 you just keep it moving and just remixing into another career, 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.520 do other things, other things. You know what I'm saying. 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.200 We still kept other accounts, but that's that's the type 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.560 of career that we chose. That's the hold. I want 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.400 to ask you a question, when did you stop and say, 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.920 you know what, I can't do that anymore because and 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.639 and and in our world we still doing that and 0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:51.919 we're still what you say, like you don't even know 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:56.160 that transitioned from being a record promoter to im now 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.240 I'm a DJ manager And I know you had a 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.680 conversation one of my DJs, and he was like, yo, 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.359 he actually thinks he's a great ideals Like absolutely, it 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.199 was natural for us because we've known each other for 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.919 so long. But let's let's be real and let's be 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.760 business with us. We know that I'm only as strong 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.439 as you and you're only as strong as me. As 0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.879 we keep our positions together, I'm gonna use you and 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.840 use me, but let's be real with each other. What 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:23.080
