I have, uh the artist side of it, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.240 you know what I'm saying. But I've been really involved 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.680 with you know, as being like a concert promoter. You 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.880 know what I'm saying. I heard that. Yeah, since like 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.839 twenty ten or eleven like that, been like my bread 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.760 and butter, Like I do a couple of hundred shows 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.440 a year, wow that I promote. So you know, I've 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.520 been in the music business.

So what made you kind of get 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.360 into the promoter game? Shit? I done have nights where 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.600 I had four and five shows going in one night 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.480 in different states just as a promoter. Just as a promoter, 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:58.840 I might have had Keith sweating, uh Kansas City or something. Right, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.480 you know, somebody else's somewhere and somebody else somewhere and 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:07.600 somewhere and I might have been doing crush groove or something, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.680 you know what I'm saying. It's just I Dodn't it 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.440 have been situations like that where I really had like 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.480 four or five shows going in one night, damn dude. Yeah. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.520 The promoter game is do you feel like, because I 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:23.440 do feel like there's kind of probably a saturated market 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.160 in people trying to throw shows, do you feel like 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.919 you found like a niche and the type of artists 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.440 and type of shit you're doing well. The thing is 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.840 is that anybody could try to do it, but you 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.000 gotta get good at it in order for it to 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.160 be you know, and you gotta be willing you you 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:44.760 gotta have enough to lose.

So, you know, Many Fresh one of the 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.440 best ever. So I listened to him and I did it, 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.360 and Do the Damn Thing is one of them records. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.520 That was a good one. Me and my small group 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.880 of friends in Phoenix had an actual funny dance we 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.680 would do when that song came on that we still like, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.360 if I play that song right now. My best friend 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.640 Ram was here. He would do it. What was like, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.760 first of all, talk about like how you ended up 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.200 on Cash Money for that one project. It was just 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.080 a situation, man, I mean, you know, Priority was uh, 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.400 you know, making some some changes at the time, and 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.320 me and Stunner was already homies, and so it really 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:15.880 was just a move. It was just a play, you 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.480 know what I'm saying. It was just a move like 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.440 like that was already my homeboy. And so when I 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.920 had to, I had a choice either sign a new 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:31.360 deal with Priority or sign this deal. You know, I 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.439 just wanted to try something different. And Cash Money is 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.760 like the hottest label in the world at the moment. Yeah, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.480 and like yeah, yeah, but but but most of all 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.880 them dudes was like solid dudes with me, you know 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.520 what I'm saying. We clicked as people. They was you know, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.920 I would go to New Orleans and it was all 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.000 open arms, like we was family, you know what I'm saying, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.640 and vice versa. When they was out here, it was 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.000 like that. So this was something man, that we was 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.280 really trying. I just wanted to like do something different. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.000 I had been putting. I had put a lot of 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.120 records out on Priority already. Yeah, you know, so you know, 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:03.400 when the when, when the opportunity came and that bag 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.600 was silly. For that one record, I had to do it. Yeah, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.720 what was it? What was that creative process like working 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.480 with a guy like Manny Fresh, because you've been in 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.520 obviously in the studio with so many other legends like 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.559 Doctor Dramon. Yeah, what was the difference between the Manny 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.920 Fresh and some of the other guys. Fresh is like, 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.800 like I said, he the first one to get me 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.360 to just go in there and just rap, just don't 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.360 write nothing, just going there and just say it, you 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.200 know what I'm saying. And Fresh work faster than anybody 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.760 I've ever seen. He had cooked the beat up right 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.360 in front of you, like in a few minutes, and 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.679 it's a hit, it's connected for life, it's do the 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.920 damn thing is whatever. But he cook it up right 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.839 there like quick, like right in front of you, you 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.000 know what I'm saying. So, you know, Fresh one of 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.400 the best ever man for real for sure, you know, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.200 Like I remember at one point Fresh had missed platinum 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.199 in a couple of it was some years had went 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:57.920 by and everything was platinum. You know that's crazy. Yeah, No, 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.240 I think I think Fresh when we think, when we 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.360 always talk about the goats I feel like we got 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.360 to keep his name in that conversation because he kind 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.040 of formed the whole sound kicked off Wayne Juvie, every human. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:14.000 It's crazy, Yo. You have always been really good at expanding, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.240 like the West Coast shit to like other areas we 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.480 talk about obviously the cash money situation. You had a 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.719 great relationship with Fat Joe back in the day. What 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.560 do you like a tribute to that? Because I do 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.959 feel like you kind of like a lot of LA 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.400 guys were just kind of like working with other LA guys, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.720 but you did a really good job of like breaking 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.000 out of that mold and just working with everybody from 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.880 all over the place. I'm a player. You know, players 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.920 is internationally known, nationally recognized, and locally accepted. You feel me. 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.000 I'm a player, man. If you're trying to get to it, 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.920 you you got to step outside your neighborhood, you feel me. So, 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.240 so I fuck with who fucked with me, you know, 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.760 regardless of where they're from or any of that. If 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.320 you fuck with me, I'll fuck with you, you know. So, 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.440 So I always had that kind of mentality, you know. 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.840 So I was always trying to expand, and I you know, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.880 it's good to have allies everywhere. Man, you know what 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.000 I'm saying, I'm thinking, like I've always thought big Yeah, 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.400 was there ever anybody you tried to sign to Who Banging? 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.120 That was like that ended up going on to be 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.760 like really big that like maybe it almost happened or didn't, 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.640 you know, almost got to the finish line, but maybe 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.080 for whatever reason it didn't work out. Snoop, Snoop. Yeah, 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.360 was this after Yeah, he was already. It was when 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.199 when death Row was like you know, when he was 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.080 before he went to no limits. So before he went 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:34.800 to no limit, you guys had those combos, paperwork was done. Wow. Yeah, 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.079 that's crazy. So death Rows obviously a rap, Snoops, a 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.719 free agent and you approach him to come on, who 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.640 Banging and it almost happens. I mean, if he a 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.000 free agent and I'm in the game, you know what 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.920 kind of motherfucker would I be not to shoot for 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.480 the biggest free agent out there? That's real shit. You know, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.280 Jerry Jones gonna shoot for the Kohlers motherfucker out there 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.520 if he if he can get his hands on it. Yeah, 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.839 you feel me? So how close it was really close 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.240 to happening? When it is the paperwork literally was done. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.559 It's just you know, some things you know went on, 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.280 but like it was, it was done. That had been crazy, Yeah, yeah, 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.320 Snoop on who Banging Record? Yeah, Who's Done? That had 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.240 been crazy too, just for like the perceived politics of that, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.000 because like Snoop's a big grip you know, we know 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.720 you are. That had been crazy, especially in the nineties. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.240 But listen, I feel like he would have probably put 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.800 out some better music too, because I didn't like the 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.679 first I didn't like the game is to be Sold 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.240 not to be Sold. I didn't like that album. I 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.000 did like No Limit Top Talk, but yeah, shout out 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.600 to Snoop, that'd have been crazy. Are you going to 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.040 be putting out a body of work obviously the singles out? 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.679 Are you following this up with the actual body of work? Yeah, yeah, 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.840 I'm gonna do. I'm gonna put an album out. Is 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.960 it done? It's almost done? The red print, the red print, Yeah, 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:51.800 that's fire. Yeah, it's almost done. Features. I got some 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.520 secret features. You know what I'm saying. I got it. 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.360 I can't really speak on it right now, you know 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.720 what I'm saying, because uh, you know, I'm still in 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.920 the process of doing it, but like it's a hot album, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.200 like the records, and shit is one of them good ones. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.880 I mean, fourteen years is a long time man. People 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.679 want to hear from you. Yeah, yeah, I understand, Yo. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.000 Do you still go back and listen to any like 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.959 of your old catalog like on a regular basis. I 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.440 always wondered that as an artist like you got classics, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:18.920 do you got to go back and bump your own shit? 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.319 Not really every now and then. Every now and then 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.840 I'll run across something and I had to rewind Black 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.680 Shit was hard right there, you know, and I turn 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.400 it up. But like usually, I really don't don't listen 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.920 to my music. Really, I heard it so many times 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.600 making it until I'm you know, I really don't listen 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.520 to my music. I'm wondering when. Okay, you obviously are 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.800 part in my opinion of the best supergroup in rap history, 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:49.280 west Side Connection. Yeah. I think Boutdown is the top 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.760 five rap album in West Coast history. It's up there, man. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.920 Gangs to killing a Dope Dealers fucking you know one 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.200 of my favorite songs ever? Right? Do you give Mount 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.920 Wesmore a listen? When they dropped their super album like 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.880 do you check it out as a fan, like just 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.400 to see like, oh, you know, we kind of did 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.440 our supergroup, like let me see what these guys are doing. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:16.680 Uh not really yeah, not really. I mean, uh, I've 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.920 heard bits and pieces of it, you know what I'm saying, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:24.160 But not not really. Yeah. West Side Connection was a movement, 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.880 a movement. Yeah, it was a little different a movement. Yeah. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.920 And it's crazy too because like if you think about 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.720 like from like bow Down to terrorist Threats? How many 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.440 years was that? Was that? Like nine or ten years different? 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.200 Seven years of five something like something like that. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.240 something like yeah yeah, And it felt like y'all kind 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.200 of like picked up right where y'all left off with 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.520 those like right bow Down. Would you put that up 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.240 there with any one of your solo albums in terms 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.240 of just bodies of work? Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760 a complete body of work. Yeah. And it was sincere 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.720 what were like those studio sessions like when you guys 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.240 do like Gangsters make the World go Round? Like tell 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:02.520 me about that record, like that studio session. Uh you 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.480 know it was like uh any other West Side Connects 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.040 studio session. I mean it was always friendly competition. You know, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.840 your verse had to be hot, you know, period just 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.600 every it was friendly competition. It was friendly competition for sure, 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.000 you know, but your your your verse, your verse had 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.280 to be hot, you know. And if your ship wasn't hot, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.880 somebody might say, oh man, man, you might go back 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.520 and write that ship over something. Did you have to 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.560 say that to? I mean, you know, every every every 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.800 every everybody. If if you being honest with somebody and 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:40.520 you done did as many records as we have together, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.440 everybody respect everybody's opinion.

I think we I mean to a certain 0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.520 to a certain extent, but at the same time it 0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:50.280 was going on, it was actually going it was going on, 0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.840 you know what I'm saying.
