Speaker 4: old stuff together, man, Like for the most part, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like Smith and Wesson, Mob Deep,
Speaker 4: Rest of Peace, Prodigy, they were still driving projects together.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: how to scout the Rest of Peace shows?
Speaker 9: Right, crazy because a lot of people think like like

Speaker 2: Certain artists right now that still ain't get no money.
Speaker 3: Still yeah, they didn't even Yeah that's a fact.
Speaker 4: Like that's what That's what I was gonna ask you too,
Speaker 4: man Like Lighting being such a legendary manager, you know,
Speaker 4: putting a lot of people in position.
Speaker 3: What's some of the gems you would say you would
Speaker 3: you would share with someone that you like, you something

Speaker 9: know what I'm saying, like all money ain't good money?
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, Like Howard do gon
Speaker 2: thiss your man? And then you take up you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, take money?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, oh, how are you gonna you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, So like like you know
Speaker 2: you're young, that's hard to like you.
Speaker 9: You're essentially saying turn down money. But then you're like, yo,
Speaker 9: you know what, I didn't turned down money. I just
Speaker 9: picked up my integrity, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying. So like now I know that ship.
Speaker 2: You know back then it was like this, I'm thinking
Speaker 2: it's butter are you like? And that's the crazy ship was.
Speaker 2: He was somehow like if he if he turned down
Speaker 2: something like me and Poe or something like that, like uh,
Speaker 2: he would uh placed.
Speaker 9: It was something like I remember like he turned down
Speaker 9: something but then he replaced us with Johnny Blaze or

Speaker 9: was like, yo, they just they just whatever whatever.
Speaker 2: Was echo No, it wasn't echoed. No, it was it
Speaker 2: was like some some some some other ship. And he
Speaker 2: was like, all right, cool, but I got this. So
Speaker 2: it wasn't like well sometimes it was sometimes it.
Speaker 9: Was like you dad, it's not getting no jelly beans
Speaker 9: like the first first first dude with jelly beans like cana.
Speaker 2: Oh. He's like you don't see it. He's like no.
Speaker 16: He was like, you know, like so he made sure
Speaker 16: you got your money. Man, Like when when I came home,
Speaker 16: he said, don't worry about nothing. What you wanted, I said,
Speaker 16: I want a Cherry Red band. I'm cherry red lex.
Speaker 16: I said, I want ten thousand cash.
Speaker 2: To listen to all that ship and then it was
Speaker 2: Chris Lighty and then who executed it.
Speaker 6: I couldn't even grat the band.
Speaker 2: I'm the the lections. I have to give it back
Speaker 2: and settle. You just take the money they gave it
Speaker 2: to you, to take the money.
Speaker 7: But he also made everything they gave me when I
Speaker 7: came home and write off like Christmas.
Speaker 6: So I respected him because he didn't have to have
Speaker 6: faith in me. I wasn't around him. Well, he didn't
Speaker 6: have nothing to go off of.
Speaker 9: But him violated was like the illness man. Like God
