Speaker 1: I think we live in a Hampson wheel so much
Speaker 1: that we don't get to enjoy our successes or what
Speaker 1: we accomplished. We always onto the next thing. We've been
Speaker 1: talking about that the last couple of days, a kind
Speaker 1: of appreciating what the fun you've been through. You overcame,
Speaker 1: what you've accomplished. This is important. You retired, you got millions,
Speaker 1: and you get to live the rest of your life
Speaker 1: however you want to. You heard, you already did the
Speaker 1: hard part. Now it is about bawling and living. Whatever
Speaker 1: it is you had on your buckelets. You got the
Speaker 1: money to make the buckelets go on, and if that's
Speaker 1: the south of it, whatever it is, you just feel
Speaker 1: like you need to do yoker do now. Basketball was
Speaker 1: the hard part. That's you know what I mean. As
Speaker 1: much enjoyment as you got from me, right, that was
Speaker 1: the hard part I had to go through. You had
Speaker 1: to go through days and days and you don't miss
Speaker 1: the game. I love what I'm doing the game, but
Speaker 1: I don't miss I miss it. I love what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Now you'll need something else to fulfill that void because
Speaker 1: I coached my kids, so that's kind of my game.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's in box. So they couldn't call you,
Speaker 1: they couldn't pay you to get back on the court
Speaker 1: right now, no amount of money. Don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm not gonna go out to embarrass myself.
Speaker 1: I've been five years or move. It's like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, my body ain't gonna always play. But
Speaker 1: it's just like getting off that bikers. Why didn't starting
Speaker 1: so much trouble? It was not what's the problem? So
Speaker 1: we was talking to you next, buddy, what's your problem?
Speaker 1: Why didn't you try to flinch that Kobe? He didn't move?
Speaker 1: Did you feel bad after that? He was cold with
Speaker 1: that one. He try to do it. He Kobe was
Speaker 1: like dog. He he loved me for but no grant.
Speaker 1: He was sitting right here yesterday and he said, whenever
Speaker 1: throughout my career, whenever I had some ship, it was
Speaker 1: never with me one on one. It was me defending
Speaker 1: my teammates told me ship was different me and code
Speaker 1: was about that. That's my We always had a mutual respect,
Speaker 1: just back and forth respect because you know, I saw
Speaker 1: him at U c. L A. When he was young
Speaker 1: and I was in college, and so there was a
Speaker 1: mutual respect. But Kobe was obviously a physical, physical killer,
Speaker 1: but like a mental giant too. He tried to physically
Speaker 1: fun you or mentally fuck you over too, so that
Speaker 1: the grabbing the elbow and that just the ship that
Speaker 1: the rest wouldn't call. And I was just trying to
Speaker 1: hear me and my sternum and knocked all the wind
Speaker 1: out of me, and the rest of the rest just
Speaker 1: looked at me. So I was trying to fight him,
Speaker 1: I told him, But I was trying to fight you, bro.
Speaker 1: So the ball fake ship just happened. And what you
Speaker 1: did a lot of punching though, and how like you
Speaker 1: with it? I mean, I wish you lucky to say
Speaker 1: had every clip right, did a lot of punch. That's
Speaker 1: how me and Jack I just got along. We was
Speaker 1: very similar from that standpoint. Then when he came to
Speaker 1: our team and oh seven six basketball lobby boys, you
Speaker 1: know that to be they like that basketball lobby boy,
Speaker 1: like Manna get the shows made basketball lobby Definitely, definitely
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't have lobbies, and in Texas put
Speaker 1: off the Texas shout out pimps and bumby. But with
Speaker 1: the war we got our own for that's the lobby.
Speaker 1: The lobby, and you progregated. I'm trying to get that's
Speaker 1: the lobby. Any place in the street you face adversity
Speaker 1: and trying to get out of this, that's the lobby
Speaker 1: I figured I will fit for. That's not a version
Speaker 1: of all of in the cities. That's why the country.
Speaker 1: But we got lobbies, y'all got corners. So he's got
Speaker 1: the war, something's got. The project is all the representation
Speaker 1: of the same thing, same and what we're trying to
Speaker 1: show people as the unity and the things that we
Speaker 1: came up against and how we came over it, and
Speaker 1: we still a work in progress and trying to show
Speaker 1: people an example of what you can be coming from nothing,
Speaker 1: coming from different lobbies too, right, coming from coming from
Speaker 1: that pain. So it didn't matter if it's the courtyard
Speaker 1: behind the building, on the project benches in front of
Speaker 1: your building, you know, because just because certain places is
Speaker 1: built geographically different, it's still the same thing where we congregated.
Speaker 1: As as as as young kids with dreams, you know,
Speaker 1: some of us had NBA dreams, some of us had
Speaker 1: dreams to be the biggest drug deal or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: You know, we lost friends, we lost family members, those
Speaker 1: that that that era at those times is what made
Speaker 1: us who we are. Today, right y'all, y'all living testament
Speaker 1: of of of hard work of progress, and y'all made
Speaker 1: it out. We we did the same thing on our side.
Speaker 1: You understands the whole different level because I know what you.
Speaker 1: I know what you've been through. Different levels, right, Indeed,
Speaker 1: and roads lead to the same place if you focus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your shows early to use basketball as the vehicle to
Speaker 1: get out the same thing. For us, we figured out
Speaker 1: our vehicle. Our vehicle ended up being the music at
Speaker 1: the team min and ship like that. Even for Man,
Speaker 1: he's even more iller because he had a way iller start,
Speaker 1: a way harder start than anybody coming coming back from
Speaker 1: damn nig with banning them? Was that I mean shotting
Speaker 1: right now? You heard he was with banting that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely with the bang. I like that Batman Batman, Yeah

Speaker 1: Big Daddy King. Then it was like slick Drink. Then
Speaker 1: it was like dude, I would telling somebody yesterday, like
Speaker 1: I learned how to drink liking through hip hop music.
Speaker 1: Jason backed up in the steadcase Trupop put you on
Speaker 1: a duck passion. Nigus was a drinking Henessey to Trupop
Speaker 1: start saying Hennessey because we were drinking I and J
Speaker 1: because that's what Naves told us to do. And then
Speaker 1: we had the same nas the niggers were doing all
Speaker 1: the same. Nois you started drinking the same eyes, Like
Speaker 1: think about that you started drinking off of hip hop,
Speaker 1: don't you, nigs, We really started drinking of hip hop.
Speaker 1: Niggs did a lot off for hip hop, I said.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's it's definitely a blueprint to life.
Speaker 1: See the music was the soundtrack to to lifestyle that
Speaker 1: was already happening. It just broadened it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like the things that rappers were talking about
Speaker 1: were already things that was going on. Dr Drake, you
Speaker 1: know what was that uh Nigga Tanga ray Nigga? See
Speaker 1: grim Nigger, Nigger wasn't on that to Snoop and them
Speaker 1: start talking about that tang Yeah, that was a l
Speaker 1: a that was a West Coast drink. We wasn't on that.
Speaker 1: Soon as he said that Nigga was on that tangaray,
Speaker 1: Let's see what this tangaray is about my life? But
Speaker 1: that that that's the faction for you always did influence you.
Speaker 1: It's very influence you. And here we are today, many
Speaker 1: years later, and and we we're the biggest influence in
Speaker 1: the world. Facts that right, we've been that it took away, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're finally we're finally starting to monetize off it.
Speaker 1: That's why they're starting to recognizing that because we've never
Speaker 1: been They've always been telling our stories like this is important.
Speaker 1: What y'all important to show? Motherfucker's like damn those two
Speaker 1: did this, or y'all too, they did like anybody right,
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, it's about inspiration, bro,
Speaker 1: Like we we were here for a certain amount of time,
Speaker 1: right then we're going right and and it's about not
Speaker 1: how long you live, but how well you live and
Speaker 1: what you did, what impact you may I want to
Speaker 1: do something that that is that is very impactful. I
Speaker 1: want to do something that that that that that I
Speaker 1: want to die legend because if you either you either
Speaker 1: you die leg you know, they just won't remember you, understand,
Speaker 1: So it's important on what you do with the time
Speaker 1: that you got. Right now. Sports fans, both of your
Speaker 1: Knicks fans, I'm a Knicks fans fan. I'm a Knicks fan,
Speaker 1: and and that's fans. I'm I'm a Knicks fan because
Speaker 1: I'm always a Knicks fan. That's just in my heart.
Speaker 1: But I was done when John Starts went after he
Speaker 1: dunked the Michael Joe in the game before it's ruined it.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to Golden State for like the last
Speaker 1: ten years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When the music come into
Speaker 1: mix for y'all, and it always for me, music always
Speaker 1: better in the mix since I'm a hip hop baby,
Speaker 1: since my mom was teaching me how to break dance
Speaker 1: in the living room in the Bronx. But when it
Speaker 1: turned into business for me, is um do you well?
Speaker 1: A few years from my grandma pass Cam and Bloodshed Derek,
Speaker 1: God blessed. They always just wrapping and things like that.
Speaker 1: They always into it heavy. Then they started doing freestyles
Speaker 1: and they started becoming very noted, very dope and hallm
Speaker 1: and things like that. Um, my grandma passed, Cam and
Speaker 1: Mace went to school. Um, they both end up getting
Speaker 1: kicked out and had to come back and live with
Speaker 1: me because they didn't want to tell parents they got
Speaker 1: kicked out of school. Um, those few months of them
Speaker 1: living with me, they got into the heavy into music.
Speaker 1: Mace end up being the breakout artists, end up getting
Speaker 1: to deal with what did he coming back? And Snatch
Speaker 1: Cam got Cam to deal through Biggie And once Cam
Speaker 1: came back home, it was lit since then and we
Speaker 1: had an ups and downs through the music, but overall
Speaker 1: here we are right now when when you when when
Speaker 1: they hit? What year was that? It was like nineties,
Speaker 1: we graduated, ninety four, they went to school, came back
Speaker 1: at the end of ninety five, started going crazy and
Speaker 1: ninety six. I think May signed in ninety six and
Speaker 1: Cam signed in ninety seven. That's crazy. You don't really
Speaker 1: have three childhood friends like that that all blow up
Speaker 1: like that's crazy. That's I've been. I've been. I've been
Speaker 1: a die hard hip hop fan since since whatever. But
Speaker 1: I never ever had an aspiration to be a rapper.
Speaker 1: Never never thought about, never had a dream, never had
Speaker 1: any inkland, never nothing. I never wrote raps and nothing.
Speaker 1: I was. I was in street very early in my life, right,
Speaker 1: and you know, I wind up doing a long time.
Speaker 1: And during that time, I was in prison. You know,
Speaker 1: I was a young kid, so a seventeen seven, so
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I was getting into a lot
Speaker 1: of trouble in prison though, right, So I was always
Speaker 1: in the box. I was like, you know, problematic, and
Speaker 1: you know, you know the people that put you in
Speaker 1: the box for years, right said it's the s h
Speaker 1: U especially House and Unity put you in there and
Speaker 1: shoot you down for for a year or two years,
Speaker 1: so I was in those I spent almost four years
Speaker 1: you all together like that most and most people lose
Speaker 1: their minds right right right, but those see See that's
Speaker 1: the thing about about about having will strong will because
Speaker 1: under the under those conditions is when I became a
Speaker 1: stronger person. Under those conditions is when I even started rapping.
Speaker 1: So I started rapping because he was like, just pass
Speaker 1: the time, like, man, Dan, you know it's fun to do.
Speaker 1: So I'll get up, I'll be in my cell right
Speaker 1: I would. I would write, I write a round. It
Speaker 1: take me. Then then the whole day before I know what,
Speaker 1: the whole day is gone, and it started to feel
Speaker 1: good to do it. And then I would play with
Speaker 1: the idea like going home to do it, like, man,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go out and do this, and they're like,
Speaker 1: I ain't a fucking rapper. So it's just as much
Speaker 1: as I was a fan, I had never thought about
Speaker 1: music in a business aspect, and who I started to say, uh,
Speaker 1: maybe I should try when I got home. Because one
Speaker 1: of the create one of the scariest thoughts why by
Speaker 1: being in prison, is not knowing what you're gonna do
Speaker 1: when you get out. So I never I never, I
Speaker 1: was I'm from the street. That's it. I was nothing else.
Speaker 1: Everything I've ever done it was in the I've never
Speaker 1: been productive and nowhere else. I've been two places in
Speaker 1: my whole life. Prison in the street, that's it. And
Speaker 1: when I got out of prison, I went back to
Speaker 1: the street. So music was a way out for me.
Speaker 1: So when I caught the ball, it was it was
Speaker 1: everything for me. This is why I'm smiling right now.
Speaker 1: To down save me saved us in the fact that
Speaker 1: the direction we was heading in was not a good
Speaker 1: direction from a young age, and the fact that we
Speaker 1: got a chance to do the deal so young, like
Speaker 1: we were all eighteen nineteen something like that. It saved
Speaker 1: this from a lot of things that we were heading into.
Speaker 1: Even though we still went in the wrong direction, we
Speaker 1: had some balance because we knew we were in a
Speaker 1: different position. But for the music and to start for
Speaker 1: me and to later on in the two thousand's after
Speaker 1: camping them to figure it out. But Cam and Mace
Speaker 1: always told Mace told me how to wrap, and Cam
Speaker 1: always made sure I was on every single album he had.
Speaker 1: He was like, boy, once you figure out how to wrap,
Speaker 1: the same way you acting the streets is gonna work
Speaker 1: for me, keep going, and that's all. So I always
Speaker 1: got to give credits with credits to doing ship like
Speaker 1: that would be no Jim Jones if it wasn't for
Speaker 1: them guys and ship like that and end up catching
Speaker 1: on because they started me. I was doing everything directing
Speaker 1: security engineering, but they was coming in every night off
Speaker 1: that show Money. I was like, no, I gotta figure
Speaker 1: this out. This is what I gotta really get into
Speaker 1: this rap mode. And that's what really propelled to seeing
Speaker 1: all the successor was the first joint you did? Were
Speaker 1: you Like? It was on cam first tape, right, first album?
Speaker 1: I mean my mom's and remember that, remember that, remember
Speaker 1: that like yesterday his first his first album. One of
Speaker 1: my favorite ships was Certified Gangster. You did with gang
Speaker 1: was all a great experience. That was a good time
Speaker 1: in my life. I was I was the first person
Speaker 1: to bring games to actually in New York. This is
Speaker 1: when me and Game really really really really tight. Word

Speaker 1: I would go to I will go to l A
Speaker 1: and ride through all bumped in shots. The term on
Speaker 1: no term. Yeah, Term had his own segment. He came
Speaker 1: on the show with Bed because I think've been shouted
Speaker 1: out probably he has a great bridge from especially on
Speaker 1: the West Coast, things like that, and he got a
Speaker 1: real hard you know what I means, family and things
Speaker 1: like that. But it shots the game shots of certified answers.
Speaker 1: That was. That's what really started it off for me
Speaker 1: and ship like that. Just being a fan. I was
Speaker 1: really a fan of West Coast music and West Coast movies,
Speaker 1: you know at that time Menister Society boys and gave
Speaker 1: us a whole different look on what life was from
Speaker 1: a whole another and it really turned and Snoop and

Speaker 1: helping came a lot and help all of us with
Speaker 1: a dipper mass when that whole Rocket Feller transition came
Speaker 1: doing things like that, So that was like the closest
Speaker 1: thing that we would had to somebody coming in and
Speaker 1: really giving us some understanding of what we had. But
Speaker 1: for the most part, it was just all us. We
Speaker 1: were pretty smart and we knew what we wanted and
Speaker 1: we knew how we wanted to be perceived and things
Speaker 1: like that, and that's how we ran. We gotta in

Speaker 1: six years six years old work. Yeah, so we grew
Speaker 1: up the same buildings. Um, I knew Dame actually before
Speaker 1: kr Cam moved in that building when we was like thirteen,
Speaker 1: Can moved over to eleven ninety nine. Dam was always differently.
Speaker 1: Um he went to private school, some fancy private school
Speaker 1: that he hustled and helped put himself through and ship
Speaker 1: like that. Um, he lost his moms at a young age.
Speaker 1: So I watched Dame navigate through the streets by myself
Speaker 1: on East side kid where we was at eleven nine,
Speaker 1: and considered us to be privilege because those were the
Speaker 1: newest co ops in Harlem and things like that, and
Speaker 1: there was the high rises and things like that, so
Speaker 1: it was just a little different on So they watched
Speaker 1: him navigate from the east side and go to the
Speaker 1: west side. West side was like okay corral back then,
Speaker 1: that was like you had to it was like showtime
Speaker 1: over there. So if you niggas that came back from
Speaker 1: the west side to the east side and was Dame
Speaker 1: lived in our building, so he was bringing back all
Speaker 1: our West Side flavor. All he had cars since he
Speaker 1: was fifteen and ship like that. So Dan was outside
Speaker 1: and ship like that. I mean, so for the east
Speaker 1: Side he was he was looking like that and be
Speaker 1: all like this nigga gotta be a droug champion. But
Speaker 1: on the west side he just was a mainly regularly
Speaker 1: the hustling out there you did because that was the
Speaker 1: West Side. That's where everybody did this ship like for
Speaker 1: us coming him coming back and forth. It was definitely
Speaker 1: definitely dopes I taken away from him. He had us
Speaker 1: and all when we was younger and shipped like that
Speaker 1: and going all the way up to the days when
Speaker 1: you would see uh J pull up, when they had
Speaker 1: the lexuses and all that ship and they was getting
Speaker 1: money back. Then I could say that they really was
Speaker 1: doing whatever. I can't say what I mean. Legend has it.
Speaker 1: I was outside and watching what was going on. Legend
Speaker 1: had it they was really into what they was into
Speaker 1: and watching cam and my man Duke uh definitely making
Speaker 1: them UH runs across the bridge to the address that
Speaker 1: they be talking about and that I was. I was,
Speaker 1: and then I wasn't. In the midst, I was, but
Speaker 1: I was on the West side at that time, were
Speaker 1: going back and forth and ship like that, and you know,
Speaker 1: shouts to damn. He was a very He was a
Speaker 1: very instrumental person in our life coming up on the
Speaker 1: East Side before music then he he was always damed
Speaker 1: into what he mopeds. I give I give it to him.
Speaker 1: You did coming through Hustler, big stacks and ship like
Speaker 1: that like you. So let's get to the Lobby Boys album.
Speaker 1: How did this come from? How did this come together?
Speaker 1: We talked about doing this years ago. Years ago. This
Speaker 1: was something that we've been talking about doing. Um back
Speaker 1: when uh Puff and In and Ross used to say
Speaker 1: that they was the Buggatti Boys right when they used
Speaker 1: to call them none of that. When the used to
Speaker 1: call themselves the Buggatti Boys. I thought that that was
Speaker 1: gonna be an album or something. But you know, we
Speaker 1: did a song back then and in Capital said, uh,
Speaker 1: shout out to the Buggatti Boys, but me and may
Speaker 1: know we the Lobby Boys. And when he said that,
Speaker 1: I instantly understood what he was meaning, like where we
Speaker 1: come from. You know. So we talked about actually doing
Speaker 1: a tape or album him back then. But you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, it's all about time, that's all about time,
Speaker 1: and and it wasn't the right timing and and and
Speaker 1: now is the greatest time, and it's no better time
Speaker 1: than that. It's no better time than now. We captured
Speaker 1: I feel we captured the moment. Yeah. Yeah, So tell
Speaker 1: us a little bit about the album we y'all got
Speaker 1: on the album we got fab on there, Benny the Butcher,
Speaker 1: young Man, Blue Young Blue Styles, p five year Davis,
Speaker 1: New York for sure. Yeah, definitely actually have you on
Speaker 1: New York. You got that little that little workout gym group.
Speaker 1: Don't you what how did that come about? That ship
Speaker 1: is dope. I started us talking ship inside of the
Speaker 1: mains restaurant, um Chelsea House. We just uh, it's like
Speaker 1: like New Year day after New Year. It was it
Speaker 1: was the day or was it before New Year? One
Speaker 1: of the fab had this he had Fab had a
Speaker 1: um this diet plan and said, yeah, we should start
Speaker 1: this diet plan the new year. So we said let's
Speaker 1: do it, and we said we might as will work out.
Speaker 1: Once we started, we never we never stopped. You know
Speaker 1: when it's it's it's different because for me, I always
Speaker 1: worked out probably on and off my whole life. But
Speaker 1: I will always do some time and then stop and
Speaker 1: do a little bit more. But now I'm I'm way
Speaker 1: more consistent because now I got people to work out with.
Speaker 1: So when we go on our group chat and I
Speaker 1: see that Fab is going in the gym, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: jump up and so I'm gonna meet you over there,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And we all we all
Speaker 1: end up in the gym together. So it just makes
Speaker 1: it makes it fun um and it makes working out easier,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was a big initiative,
Speaker 1: Like we are just acquired some property that they're all
Speaker 1: gonna put some money in so we can finish building
Speaker 1: out the gym, which give us a piece of real
Speaker 1: estate for people to actually come visit your own gym. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we already have it and stuff like that. This UM
Speaker 1: so now we're gonna gonna put all the equipment and
Speaker 1: make it look all nice and dope and you know,
Speaker 1: people come by. But it's deeper. We're gonna do n
Speaker 1: F team membership. So we got these boot camp courses
Speaker 1: that we're gonna start. UM that's not like your regular
Speaker 1: boot camp. The ideas to make you feel like you
Speaker 1: actually came to the cup of the party instead of
Speaker 1: working out, but you're gonna be working out. So you're
Speaker 1: gonna have some of the dopest DJs inside of look
Speaker 1: inside of the gym, you might catch some performances with
Speaker 1: some of your dopest rappers you did like. So it
Speaker 1: was a whole initiative that we have that we're gonna
Speaker 1: bring forth to the table that mixes the actual culture
Speaker 1: with fitness. Because I don't know how people know how
Speaker 1: much money it is inside this fitness world. I do
Speaker 1: know you'll know because you're are athletes. But for the
Speaker 1: average rapper, a musician or artists like myself, I don't
Speaker 1: think they understand that that's a multibillion dollarge industry that
Speaker 1: is anonymous with music. Every one of the athletes is
Speaker 1: in the music while they're training and all that. So
Speaker 1: it's I mean, but it's also health and wellness, and
Speaker 1: there's something we don't talk each working out. I mean,
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily talk about enough if you're not an
Speaker 1: athlete itself, So it's it's important from that stands, I'm
Speaker 1: not into the dead body ship run around. I can't
Speaker 1: do it. Like what, I don't know what the funk
Speaker 1: that is? Bro like that, like, boy, you look crazy,
Speaker 1: Nick looks stupid, big stomach hanging out something chains on
Speaker 1: too much, the dead buddy, I don't care. Like like
Speaker 1: it's like balance. You know what I'm saying. You're seeing
Speaker 1: dudes having heart attacks at thirty two and like like
Speaker 1: that's not Listen. I'm not saying you got to be
Speaker 1: in the gym every single day, but balance it out right,
Speaker 1: because we we st stay active because that's what you
Speaker 1: don't use, you lose, right, So it's you know, we
Speaker 1: live in a lifestyle where we are uplaced and you
Speaker 1: don't want to be drinking and not eating it as well, right,
Speaker 1: but balance it out because we're trying to be here
Speaker 1: as long as we can. One turn, favorite collapsed to
Speaker 1: date for each of you, lobby boys, period period, period,
Speaker 1: the greatest, the biggest, the greatest. That that that like
Speaker 1: for the city, um and and hands down they're saying
Speaker 1: it's a classics nothing better right now, um slides the
Speaker 1: song of the Summer, And I feel good to to
Speaker 1: to be in a situation because I feel like what
Speaker 1: we're doing it's never been done before. You've never had
Speaker 1: a situation where artists been in the game, and and
Speaker 1: and at this point, this late because the game says
Speaker 1: that you don't supposed to get better. The game says
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna have a hit when you after you've
Speaker 1: been in the game ten years. This is, this is,
Speaker 1: this is, this is we're writing our own, our own
Speaker 1: narrative right now, right fun what they said before, right,
Speaker 1: you can't do this because you can't. You've been you've
Speaker 1: been in the game, and nobody funk all this because
Speaker 1: the only requirement is that the music be dope and
Speaker 1: fly the best rapper slash basketball player for me, rapper
Speaker 1: slash basketball player current or this period period period that
Speaker 1: you're seeing an action that you're seen on the GRAM.
Speaker 1: You did because you've been you you've been to a
Speaker 1: game I hat you did, scored thirty thirty five something
Speaker 1: like that against two changes. And then they want what
Speaker 1: was talking about niggers. You've seen the action really dog
Speaker 1: and like playing it in real, real action. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: we're talking about seeing an action only seen three You
Speaker 1: had the best showing. You definitely had the best showing.
Speaker 1: But he's not it. I don't consider Chris Brown a wrapper.
Speaker 1: He's a ball player that mother. He could have wanted
Speaker 1: the NBA. But he's different. Remember Ship, don't get busy.
Speaker 1: He can hoop bro, Yeah, he get busy. Chris brownkle
Speaker 1: who he reminded me of Cam when he was younger,
Speaker 1: Like he's getting I heard that about Camera. He Cam
Speaker 1: was nice cams, a beast cams in the niggas that
Speaker 1: could have won to the NBA playing in ruckors since
Speaker 1: he was fourteen. Cam to all American scraping niggers, taking
Speaker 1: championships and all the tournaments and going ahead and head
Speaker 1: against Marlbury since they've been fifteen, like real wars against Smallbury,
Speaker 1: like nasty wars like you can Sham ask You asked
Speaker 1: Sham guard you heard Sham and tell you that they
Speaker 1: come from the same hood. Cam was bullying Sham everybody
Speaker 1: like you did. Like in that day you did like
Speaker 1: and he clips loose clips everything his ship is. You
Speaker 1: did and you asked anybody you can look at him
Speaker 1: and tell you canda hoop a little bit. Kenny Day.
Speaker 1: When I first met Davis is my man bully little brother.
Speaker 1: So when he used to come to the studio, he
Speaker 1: was in Baltimore playing basketball in college. K D and
Speaker 1: all the ship. They used to be talking about KD
Speaker 1: before KD even got Did they have a basketball ir
Speaker 1: Q humans just who, ir Q Healing just who he
Speaker 1: can think the game to day? Actually they definitely Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they playing college together. And the next year he came
Speaker 1: back like I need a record, Like but you you
Speaker 1: need a record? Broke like y'all, I didn't even play
Speaker 1: ball no more, trying to go to the wrap and
Speaker 1: ship like that, and that's how that they are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts on hip hop today? I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the opportunity aspects of it.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, I love the opportunity to gets that
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that that happens, meaning as far
Speaker 1: as like, oh, it's not not not having the foresight
Speaker 1: to take advantage of the opportunity, meaning like to miscounter
Speaker 1: it is counter productive, right. This is to get in
Speaker 1: the game after you'ven't been through all of the ship
Speaker 1: that you've been through the streets saying and then and
Speaker 1: then end up in prison, try to try to end
Speaker 1: end up dead get money in turn gangster, right, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying this, This is this, this happens
Speaker 1: all to all happening inside. But I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna lie. We was always into a
Speaker 1: lot of mischief. You did a lot of mischief. The
Speaker 1: money this gave me an opportunity to get if I
Speaker 1: didn't have people to really put me aside sometimes and
Speaker 1: save me from some of the directions. I was going like,
Speaker 1: this game is there's a lot of smoking mirrors and
Speaker 1: ship like that, and once they get this money propels
Speaker 1: you to feel like you need to be ten times
Speaker 1: of who yours already was. And ship like that so
Speaker 1: if you was in a position of who I would
Speaker 1: turn me into an absolute monster and ship like that,
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be. But on the flip side of this,
Speaker 1: I want people to know that this is a business.
Speaker 1: So when you ask do I love all parts of it? Yes,
Speaker 1: I do love all parts of it because it's all
Speaker 1: about how you approach the game. And I tell people
Speaker 1: all the time, you get what you negotiate, now what
Speaker 1: you deserve. So if you approach this game with a
Speaker 1: with a clear mind, thinking and knowing what you want,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get everything that's gonna come to you. But
Speaker 1: if you don't understand their business comes before the the artistry.
Speaker 1: I mean, wait, let's get that back business artistry. You
Speaker 1: need to typicine artistry to get that ninety percent business.
Speaker 1: But once you get into that business mode, the the
Speaker 1: artistry becomes minute to what you have on hand with
Speaker 1: the ancillary money you can make from this game, and
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. So I'm completely happy with
Speaker 1: everything that I've got, the ups and downs and where
Speaker 1: I'm at today because do it all. It helped me
Speaker 1: put food on my table and my family never had
Speaker 1: to worry about anything, and I live a hell of
Speaker 1: a lifestyle. You didn't let it play you out the
Speaker 1: street though. I mean, that's a tricky situation. I mean
Speaker 1: I was, I come from a certain I come from
Speaker 1: a certain thing. So when when people, even yesterday when
Speaker 1: I was at the basketball game, get certain calls like
Speaker 1: to ask me why I'm still in the like, I don't.
Speaker 1: I think people think I'm out here trying to prove
Speaker 1: a point of I'm some type of time. I'm not.
Speaker 1: You dig in my neighborhood. Inspiration to anybody comes about,
Speaker 1: Like I told somebody, the respect that I gotta respect
Speaker 1: that I earned. It's not given where I'm from, you digging,
Speaker 1: I respect each of them the same way to respect me.
Speaker 1: That's why the lover is did. That's why we can
Speaker 1: go and have basketball games with no violence in Mohore.
Speaker 1: That's why we can go and runt out the whole restaurant,
Speaker 1: let the whole hood eating things like that. It's not
Speaker 1: saying this is something that we do every day, but
Speaker 1: where we come from the people need that inspiration. That's
Speaker 1: why we call ourselves the lobby Boys because we come
Speaker 1: from that. So if people can't see where we come
Speaker 1: from and see the better side of the ship. Then
Speaker 1: what type of example are we setting? You heard, like,
Speaker 1: should I left this five star restaurants too? Just like
Speaker 1: everybody else, But there's no better gratification than me being
Speaker 1: going the hood and helping feeding people for a day
Speaker 1: and things like that, like it mean more, way more
Speaker 1: you heard if he way more better than all these
Speaker 1: restaurants we've been to. And I'm still able to do
Speaker 1: that you did. I don't go to the hood to
Speaker 1: throw without gotten people. That's not People tell you that's
Speaker 1: that's never been exactly you did. And I don't think
Speaker 1: people understand that. And I know there's always pinpoint the
Speaker 1: tragedy that go on, but tragedies go on everywhere, Like
Speaker 1: you can't when God calls you, you know you could do.
Speaker 1: He's even gonna call you a call upon you just
Speaker 1: be ready for even short as you heard, no matter
Speaker 1: who you are, you know what I mean. You guys
Speaker 1: both had a lot of love and respect for Tupac,
Speaker 1: and obviously Big was from out this way. You guys
Speaker 1: got any stories with either one and interacting with either
Speaker 1: one of them, my both I've never I've never met
Speaker 1: Big and I never never met Tupac. But I've seen
Speaker 1: both of them on the Hunt twenty fishtreet. You heard
Speaker 1: see Biggie twenty Fishty jumping up the land cruiser with
Speaker 1: little seeds. I level forget that day Seas had on
Speaker 1: the Black Lown construction boasts. Now you gotta remember, this
Speaker 1: is like this is you heard ninety four ninety like
Speaker 1: it's like ninety six, like this is that? So this
Speaker 1: was like the most mind blowing thing for me ever. Now,
Speaker 1: when Tupac was doing above the rim, me and my
Speaker 1: man James walking Dale to five uh eighth and seven
Speaker 1: on the obviously side of Apollo, we're going back to
Speaker 1: the to the block towards the east side and nigger
Speaker 1: hanging out the MTV my man James Tappy like Dick
Speaker 1: or your man right there because they knew how much
Speaker 1: I love But I almost fainite hang out there. Almost
Speaker 1: died that day, bro, like because he was in Hall.
Speaker 1: That's but he used to be home, so we used
Speaker 1: to be looking for this nigga. He'd be over at
Speaker 1: eight K because he did the whole movie. Wasn't home.
Speaker 1: So he ended up finding the hood that he really
Speaker 1: funk with. That niggas loved him, and that was over
Speaker 1: there eight case, and we used to run around home
Speaker 1: all day trying to find Tupac when he was filming
Speaker 1: the movie. And that was it tough when y'all obviously fans,
Speaker 1: was it tough when there was the east coast west
Speaker 1: coast tension? For y'all? Was that? That was how excitement
Speaker 1: to see that you did like it was because it
Speaker 1: was for the music. So we were just waiting for
Speaker 1: the response like, oh, Biggy just bomb. Then Tupac came
Speaker 1: like this ship. But then when niggas got killed at
Speaker 1: termed ship way differently. It just was music. That's fact.
Speaker 1: When you had scary at that point for a response,
Speaker 1: the response might be too three months later, the Lord
Speaker 1: is what you wanted to read ship in the magazine.
Speaker 1: It wasn't. You couldn't go online and pull some ship
Speaker 1: up like you had to read whenever that issue came out.
Speaker 1: That might have been a two month and it was
Speaker 1: that was what we was used to. It was tupacking.
Speaker 1: It was like there's a lot of different true true
Speaker 1: and ship like that. So the responses and everything was
Speaker 1: something that we was already you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It was more exciting because it wasn't oversaturated right now.
Speaker 1: It's just like you say something, now, somebody got a
Speaker 1: response two hours later and they want to up at
Speaker 1: Andy Senter Addie and it's lit and we got quick hitters. Now.
