Speaker 3: became my best friend, so we would dip here and there.

257
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: So we kind of got separated at at a certain

258
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,840

00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 3: That's what our job was to him, to help him

573
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: get back on his feet. My job was to go

574
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: get all of the records. I went and got all

575
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: the samples for the chronic And what I would do

576
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: is after I got the samples, I would take the motherfuckers.

577
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: Because Dre and one eighty seven, they both showed me

578
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: how to work there n PC sixty. So I started producing,

579
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: like wanting to produce. So that's you know, Drey showed

580
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: me some ship one eighty seven showed me some shit.

581
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: So from there I just started sampling, no drums, nothing,

582
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: just doing the raw sample. Or I would play a

583
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,720

Speaker 3: was the big thing around that time, getting somebody and

630
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: telling them these nuts, like, hey, nigga, guess what these nuts?

631
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: That was our thing around that time.

00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: So global, yeah, yeah, So I got her and she

633
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 4: was all shut up, nigga. But that was that was

634
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 4: that was cool.

635
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: That was fun doing that type of stuff. Like just

636
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: a lot of the records on there. You know, I

637
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: ain't I'm not taking no credit away from Dre. I

638
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 3: never do that because he's a dope producer. He showed

639
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: me a lot, you know. But I did bring I

640
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 3: had a lot of input in that album, a lot

641
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: of input. And that was our job to make Dra

642
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 3: a superstar. That's what we wanted to do. That that

643
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: was our thing.

644
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: So me and Snoop started out. Then we brought in

645
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 4: Nate and right.

646
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 3: After Nate, actually Dads came him and Nate came at

647
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 3: the same time. RBX came just a little bit later,

648
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 3: but Corrupt had came right after Dazz and Nate came

649
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 3: there and came Corrupt, and that that started. I brought

650
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: him to death fro because I met actually, me and

651
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: Snoop we met Corrupt at a battle at the Roxy

652
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: where they was like this nigga Corrupt, like right here,

653
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: he the hardest nigga in California, like da da da.

654
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 4: So we're like, no, he the hardest nigga in California.

655
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: So it was like, what's up?

656
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Like, what's up?

657
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 3: So we formed a little circle. Niggas got down on

658
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 3: one knee and start busting, and that motherfucking that nigga

659
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: Corrupt said you gotta bring on your pinky finger, and

660
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: that's true, but if you look at mine, I got

661
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 3: one too. I said, whoah shit, and then Snooper hit

662
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: him back with something. He hit it. It was nobody

663
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: could win. So we was just like, you know what

664
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: we got, we gotta call this one. It's just it's

665
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 3: pretty much a tie. And uh so I crept over

666
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 3: to the side. I said, Corrupt, let me get your

667
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: phone number. So I got his number, and we was

668
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: living with Dre at that time, but we was just

669
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: out on the street, just anything hip hop, and we

670
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: was trying to be a part of it. So we

671
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: was out in the street still even though we was

672
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: with with Dre. So I told corrupt, I said, look,

673
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: I called him, I said, man, come up to the studio.

674
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: I want to do a demo for you, you know,

675
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: do some songs on you. So I did like four,

676
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 3: four or five songs on him, did him. And then

677
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: as soon as I got through from doing it. The

678
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,479
Speaker 3: way I used to record was crazy because I would

679
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: just push the record on the on the tape deck

680
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: because it was routed into the board and everything. So

681
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: every record straight to cassette tape because I didn't know

682
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 3: how to work everything, and but I did learn how

683
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 3: to splice and everything.

684
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 4: Drake taught me that ship later on.

685
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: But we recorded it.

686
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, the cassette,

687
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: the cassette. Yeh, cassette tape.

688
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: You were going straight in from the board. It was

689
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: routed into the.

690
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 4: It was routed into the cassette deck.

691
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: It was you will be playing your music and record

692
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: all at the same time from the drum machine right

693
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 2: into the It was routed to the board into the

694
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: the cassette.

695
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you couldn't make no mistake wasn't no overdose.

696
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: Know you got you ain't no stopping the start, just

697
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: keep going, just keep going. We we did a few.

698
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 4: Ship songs like that.

699
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 3: Me and Snoop did a gang and ship like that

700
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 3: too up there at the studio, and so uh I

701
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 3: did the records for Corrupt. It was like five of them.

702
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 4: And then I let Dre and Sugar hear that ship

703
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 4: and they immediately wanted to sign him, like we want

704
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 4: to sign this nigga. So boom there go Corrupt. He

746
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 5: some point you're going to get to a space where

747
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 5: that's not your everyday living. So somebody connected to you,

748
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 5: it's kind of living through you, and it's part of

749
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 5: the lifestyle, you know what I'm saying. So when you

00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 5: tell your stories, you having your big brother that's super cracking.

751

Speaker 3: Yeah, to build Yeah. That only people that didn't come

755
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,960

Speaker 3: about ten, nine, ten in the morning. We stay in

762
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: there till about five or six the next morning. At

763
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: that time, are you thinking any from a business standpoint,

764
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 3: like I'm bringing these people in and of course, the

765
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 3: the goal is the goal is dre whatever, all things

766
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 3: dre right. But at any point in your mind are

767
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: you thinking, as I'm bringing all this shit in, I

768

Speaker 1: Yeah.

773
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 3: I wasn't thinking like that. My My mindset was like,

774
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 3: if I put in all this work and just put

775
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,840

777
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 3: sure I'm gonna be cool. I ain't got to worry

795
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 3: of conversation for the work that I did put in.

796
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,400

Speaker 3: back into the music.

839
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,160

Speaker 4: It wasn't a long time. It wasn't long at all.

845
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 4: Because the whole chronic was inspired off of the riots.

846
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: I promise you listen the skits.

847
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,200

Speaker 3: wrote deep cover, well, he wrote Dre's parts on there.

863
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,640

Speaker 5: to me, that is that's my opinion.

888
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: I think The Chronic is the greatest of all time.

889
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 5: Thank you, you know, what I mean for your contribution

890

Speaker 5: to that. And you know, I definitely have yelled these

891
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 5: nuts to a million girls that at that age, I'm

892
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 5: probably like eleven, I'm just saying it to them, just

893
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 5: thinking it's the randomst ship Ever.

894
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, relaxed, you gotta random. You don't even know what

00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: this comes from. You got you ain't never heard the chronic.

896
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: So so now it's Snoops turned. So does it is?

897
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 5: Is it the same attention? Make dreda superstar? Now make

898
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 5: Snoop the superstar? Is that's kind of the same thing

899
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 5: that happens within the label and everybody that's the crew

900
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 5: that's there.

901
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely all hands on that. Yeah, everybody go from here,

902
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 3: like from working with him to go on here. But

903
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: in between that is when.

904
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: My separation came between before Doggy Style.

905
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 3: Before dogs like right before a Doggy Style, because everybody

906
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 3: was still surviving off the success of the Chronic. So

907
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: it just it just got to a point where it

908
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: was like people, everybody start getting signed and I you know,

909
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 3: this might be one of the reasons why things wasn't,

910
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 3: you know, like it was supposed to be, because I

911
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 3: was I wasn't smart, uh business minded as in royalties

912
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 3: and this, that and this. But when it came to

913
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 3: everybody signing that contract, I told him, I said, look,

914
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 3: you guys have a lawyer. Look at this shit like

915
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 3: I know this is my brother and this is Shug

916
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: and all these people. We love these dudes, but still

917
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 3: have a lawyer. Look at it. It came from Dick

918
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 3: Griffy to contract. So we was like, you know, we

919
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 3: need to get a lawyer. And then you know a

920
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 3: person had when told them that, I told everybody to

921
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: get a lawyer. Contract, so immediately that put you on out.

922
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 3: He came up, sure came running out that motherfuckering we're

923
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: warning that blood. I took off, but I couldn't get

924
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: down because it was the elevator or something.

925
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm hitting building. Yeah, so on the third floor, so

926
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: you can't get that, you gotta I'm hitting that.

927
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 3: Motherfucker trying to get down and uh and uh he

928
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,479
Speaker 3: called me, grabbed me, put me up against the wall.

929
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 4: Like blood, you told him not to sign that contract,

930
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 4: said she.

931
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 3: I said, look, better get your hands off me, because

932
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 3: when you let me go, I'm calling all my homeboys.

933
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 3: So we used to bump heads. We bompd heirs a

934
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 3: couple of times just bumping head, so that that probably

935
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 3: was like but we was cool. But I guess when

936
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 3: it came down to everybody really being a part of

937
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 3: this thing, it was like, we ain't got no spot

938
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 3: for you. So I was I was crushed.

939
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: I went got at Drake like what's up, man, Like

Speaker 1: Like what's going on?

1098
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 3: like how we was doing on the chronic, like we

1099
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 3: would do introductions with the skits or whatever.

1100
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: So I had.

1101
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 3: I was watching Young Guns, uh, with Emilio Estevez and

1102
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 3: those guys. I was watching Young Guns and I came

1103
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 3: across the park where the guy said we worked for

1104
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 3: mister Tinsdale's regulators. When he said that ship, I kept listen,

1105
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 3: my shit opened up, like my eyes was like, he said,

1106
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: we regulated, and he's still in this he said, we

1107
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,280

00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 4: Uh we regulate, uh we regulated it something.

1109
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 3: I can't remember everything, but I took though I chopped

1110
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 3: up each part though it didn't say that. And if

1111
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 3: you listen to the original when he say something, he

1112
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 3: says some other ship before he say, uh, we regulate

1113
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 3: anything that is probably we're damn good. All those were pieces.

1114
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 3: I put that together just yeah, yeah, earn you keep boop.

1115
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 3: I hit this one, took that part boom, sampled that part,

1116
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 3: sampled that part, and I put them together. And what

1117
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 3: I did was I remember the numbers on the VCR,

1118
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 3: and I took the quarter. I went from quarter inch

1119
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 3: out of the VCR into my NPC sixty. I mean

1120

Speaker 3: I went from r C A to quarterings into to

1121
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 3: my NPC sixty. And that's how I sampled everything from

1122
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 3: up off the v OFF and that ship that when

1123
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,320

Speaker 3: that wasn't cool, and I I was crushed about that

1153
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 3: because Graham was Graham was my guy. But I'm like,

1154
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't do that, man, you gotta. We're

01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 3: we're a team. We when all these niggas that's around,

Speaker 4: We don't cut nobody throat. We just we work together.

1159
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: So you can't do that.

1160
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 3: And you know, that's what I talked about on this

1161

01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 4: But that was that was a whole nother uh.

1164
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Thing that happened.

1165
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:50,919
Speaker 3: But after that, uh, like I said, you know, death Jam,

1166
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 3: I still kind of felt like because I was from

1167
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 3: the West Coast, it was like, yeah, you know, but

1168
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 3: they knew they wanted to work with me because of

1169
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 3: the style I had, and so I was the type

1170
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 3: and I'm still like that that. I was like, I'm pushed.

1171
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna push regardless whether they pushing for me or not.

1172
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna push. So I ended up going to the

1173
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 3: studio or with dra You know, I had into smoke cracking.

1174
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 3: I was cool. I wasn't tripping or nothing. So I

1175
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 3: will still go hang out with Drake, hang out with

1176
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 3: snooping them here and there, pop up at the studio.

1177
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 3: When hung out with Dre and uh, Mike Linn was

1178
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 3: one of his guys. Uh, I said, Mike, I just

Speaker 4: This time, my step my game up.

1185
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 3: Then that guy was able to get a car from

01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 3: he was in charge of getting the talent for the soundtrack.

1192
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 4: So he took the ship to Jimmy.

1193
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 3: Jimmy heard it and was like called and and was like,

1194
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 3: we want this to be the first single on the

1195
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 3: Blood of Rim soundtrack. I was like, and it was regulate.

1196
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 3: So that's when sug and rustling all them, that's when

1197
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 3: they had to had had to talk, you know, and

1198
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 3: it kind of became like a pissing contest, I guess

1199
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 3: you could say. But they had to roll with the

1200
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 3: punches wrestling because this is these guys are these are

1201
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 3: my guys, and I want to do this with her,

1202
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 3: you know, So they had to roll with it and

1203
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 3: it became the first single, which it blew. It was

1204
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 3: good for us, It was good for us at death Jam.

1205
01:03:54,640 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 3: So we did the butter rim came out regular set

1206
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 3: it off the whole thing, so like four million. I

1207
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 3: ain't never got a royalty check from that from above

1208
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 3: and Ram either never got a royalty check, never got

1209
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 3: a royalty check check from above to Ram. I've never

1210
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 3: seen that shit on my ship from above A Ram.

1211
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 3: I get him now, but I don't get him from

1212
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 3: that from that never. So when I get a check

1213
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,919
Speaker 3: from death Row, it'll be twenty of some crazy shit.

1214
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 5: So because that's what I was gonna ask too. With

1215
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 5: the sample at that point, I don't think it was

1216
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 5: the thing. At that point, are you guys having to

1217
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 5: clear samples or No?

1218
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 3: Well, with the with the keep forgetting, we had we

1219
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 3: had to clear that with the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald.

1220
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 3: So what it What how I got split was I

1221
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 3: had twenty five percent, Nate had Nate and death Row

1222
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 3: Will sure had twenty five percent, of Doobie Brothers twenty

1223
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 3: five percent, and Michael McDonald twenty five percent. But Michael

1224
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 3: McDonald was getting the Doobies in him. So that's how

1225
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 3: that that's how we was all split up.

1226
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: So but.

1227
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 4: For some reason, I don't know what what happened, but

1228
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 4: you never I've never gotten over.

1229
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: You did have album rights yea, and was able to

1230
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:20,840

1234
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 3: Now they was like, Okay, this is what we're gonna do.

1235
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 3: They said, Okay, the soundtrack boom set it off boomers.

1236
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 3: That's cracking. We took to regulate single, repackaged everything, and

1237
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 3: then we re released it again as my single, and

1238
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 3: and it was the first single off my single and

1239
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,600

1495
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:48,639
Speaker 3: put the joystick down, and when it when as soon

1496
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:49,800

1617
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 3: sinking in. In the beginning, I knew what I wanted,

1618
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,599
Speaker 3: but I couldn't do a lot of it. But it's

1619
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:21,600
