What was like, 170 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: first of all, talk about like how you ended up 171 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: on Cash Money for that one project. It was just 172 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: a situation, man, I mean, you know, Priority was uh, 173 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, making some some changes at the time, and 174 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: me and Stunner was already homies, and so it really 175 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: was just a move.

And so when I 178 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: had to, I had a choice either sign a new 179 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: deal with Priority or sign this deal. You know, I 180 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: just wanted to try something different. And Cash Money is 181 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: like the hottest label in the world at the moment. Yeah, 182 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: and like yeah, yeah, but but but most of all 183 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: them dudes was like solid dudes with me, you know 184 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

For that one record, I had to do it. Yeah, 194 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: what was it? What was that creative process like working 195 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: with a guy like Manny Fresh, because you've been in 196 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: obviously in the studio with so many other legends like 197 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: Doctor Dramon. Yeah, what was the difference between the Manny 198 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: Fresh and some of the other guys. Fresh is like, 199 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: like I said, he the first one to get me 200 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: to just go in there and just rap, just don't 201 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: write nothing, just going there and just say it, you 202 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

Man, you know what 236 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm thinking, like I've always thought big Yeah, 237 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: was there ever anybody you tried to sign to Who Banging? 238 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: That was like that ended up going on to be 239 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: like really big that like maybe it almost happened or didn't, 240 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, almost got to the finish line, but maybe 241 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: for whatever reason it didn't work out. Snoop, Snoop. Yeah, 242 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: was this after Yeah, he was already. It was when 243 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: when death Row was like you know, when he was 244 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: before he went to no limits. So before he went 245 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: to no limit, you guys had those combos, paperwork was done. Wow. Yeah, 246 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: that's crazy. So death Rows obviously a rap, Snoops, a 247 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: free agent and you approach him to come on, who 248 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: Banging and it almost happens. I mean, if he a 249 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: free agent and I'm in the game, you know what 250 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: kind of motherfucker would I be not to shoot for 251 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: the biggest free agent out there?

Yeah, 254 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: you feel me? So how close it was really close 255 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: to happening? When it is the paperwork literally was done. 256 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: It's just you know, some things you know went on, 257 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: but like it was, it was done. That had been crazy, Yeah, yeah, 258 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: Snoop on who Banging Record? Yeah, Who's Done?

That had been crazy, especially in the nineties. 262 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: But listen, I feel like he would have probably put 263 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: out some better music too, because I didn't like the 264 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: first I didn't like the game is to be Sold 265 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: not to be Sold.
