Speaker 1: know what I mean. Now I'm with this guy, Shampool,
Speaker 1: you know Shampool the Street team. Yeah, what up? Shampoo?
Speaker 1: Tam Pool? So so so Diddy, how did you What
Speaker 1: was that moment where you was like, I got the
Speaker 1: greatest rapper all time? Man? When I heard this demo?
Speaker 1: If you yeah, yeah, if you go online, you can
Speaker 1: find this demo. Um before y you heard it? No,
Speaker 1: I heard it. I saw unsigned Height and that's that's
Speaker 1: when I called Maddie see the missus C and I,
Speaker 1: you know, tracked down the demo from just the explanation
Speaker 1: of what I heard, you know, And his look was
Speaker 1: so disruptive, you know, it's a good way to explain
Speaker 1: he he felt. He felt like Miles Davis to me,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. When I when I had
Speaker 1: first saw him, but it was like it was. It
Speaker 1: was a vibrational attraction that was dead. Like I knew,
Speaker 1: I like store up to stare at the picture, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, for like maybe six days, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying after the music time, no, no,
Speaker 1: before I even got the demos, just a picture in
Speaker 1: itself was giving me this strong vibration that I knew
Speaker 1: that whatever this guy was saying, like you know, it
Speaker 1: was it was something that was It was something that
Speaker 1: was really really really really authentic, just about the look
Speaker 1: in his eyes, you know. And then when I heard
Speaker 1: the music, you know, it was one of those things
Speaker 1: I merely called my girl and I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta tell me if this is as
Speaker 1: hot as great as I really believe it is. You know,
Speaker 1: she heard it. She was like like, wherever he's at,
Speaker 1: you better go at him, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And now that was that's interesting that you said you
Speaker 1: called your girl. Yeah, because women are the biggest consumers
Speaker 1: of music, without a doubt. So how how did you
Speaker 1: know that? Early on? Um? Because everything I did was
Speaker 1: for girls, My whole swag, my whole you know, um
Speaker 1: musically dancing, I started dancing because you know, I like, really,
Speaker 1: I really trust women's opinions, and I like the vibration.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've always just loved women that really
Speaker 1: were into music, you know, that knew how to dance
Speaker 1: and was in the music. I can't even relate to
Speaker 1: somebody it's not into music. So you know, um, you know,
Speaker 1: I had a girl that was really into music and
Speaker 1: and I really trusted her judgment. So it was something
Speaker 1: that something that you know, when it's something crazy and
Speaker 1: you got a girl that's like that. On that same waveleft,
Speaker 1: she said that about Big Pride to see Yes just
Speaker 1: on the demo, just on yeah, yeah, the demo is crazy.
Speaker 1: Demo is some of his best works. None of those
Speaker 1: tracks made it out from now. I mean, he just
Speaker 1: he was just freestyling over some beats. So it wasn't
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't that time where you could just
Speaker 1: rap on somebody's beat. He was. He was like kind
Speaker 1: of the first to do that. I mean second when
Speaker 1: you know, you did the jacket for beats, but he
Speaker 1: didn't in another way, but when he went and rapped
Speaker 1: before ready to die on all the l A beats,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Before that It wasn't like
Speaker 1: people were getting on people's tracks what I'm saying. So,
Speaker 1: so how did you guys started incorporating like the R
Speaker 1: and B s, the R and B tracks, like the
Speaker 1: Juicy's and all that. Because I can listen to the
Speaker 1: biggest demo and I can tell that that was directly
Speaker 1: um uhh, what was my favorite record by the way, Juicy.
Speaker 1: But but how do you go about convincing a hardcore
Speaker 1: artists like big Um to that this commercial this commercial
Speaker 1: success is something that he needs. It really wasn't a
Speaker 1: lot of convincing. I was like, yo, if you want
Speaker 1: to you know, if you want to be big and
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, when we did party in Bullshit,
Speaker 1: he he didn't didn't know how to write a song.
Speaker 1: So you know, you know, just like most rappers, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Everything was like sixty bars and everything.
Speaker 1: And then so you know, once you know, I kind
Speaker 1: of broke down the whole song structure. To him, he
Speaker 1: was like a genius. So he didn't he would take
Speaker 1: it and then and and and he just really was
Speaker 1: strong on making songs. He would have didn't write wraps down. Um.
Speaker 1: That was that was the second year yeah, yeah, this
Speaker 1: breaking news. A lot of people don't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first year he would write him down. By the
Speaker 1: second year, you know, he was just sit in the
Speaker 1: room and he wouldn't say nothing for like maybe two
Speaker 1: or three days and go in and just do it
Speaker 1: from head to toe. No punching in, nothing like that.
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of times, you know, let's yeah. But
Speaker 1: as far as the as far as the big records,
Speaker 1: you know, going after the Juicy and the Big Papa
Speaker 1: with the Ozazi brothers, it was just it was a
Speaker 1: vibe that I was in that I had. I had
Speaker 1: already seen work to a certain degree, and I knew
Speaker 1: with Mobi and Premier we had the harder edge tracks,
Speaker 1: and I knew that there was just this opportunity, um
Speaker 1: because even you know, the West Coast was doing in
Speaker 1: their way that their style of sampling more commercial type
Speaker 1: of hits. But I knew that these joints right here,
Speaker 1: these were the things that I I grew up to
Speaker 1: in halland when I used to have to do my
Speaker 1: chores in the morning, these records was really really deep,
Speaker 1: like sheet to me, you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: and just having that juicy sample and in the Big
Speaker 1: Papa joint and then the One More Chance. I had
Speaker 1: all that at the same time, so you know, I
Speaker 1: knew he wanted to be fly and I told him like,
Speaker 1: this is the road to the flyingness. You're just gonna
Speaker 1: be really dusty and be doing videos behind like in
Speaker 1: Abandoned Building it and he was like, I want to
Speaker 1: be flying. He always wanted to just have made sure
Speaker 1: his gear was flyer than somebody that was slimmer. Now
Speaker 1: that One More Chance remix, like in the Streets album
Speaker 1: was already a phenomenon. We already knew where Big was going.
Speaker 1: But then y'all One More Chance remix and the video
Speaker 1: like how like what what the fund did you thinking
Speaker 1: to say? Like what was it? Because because I believe
Speaker 1: he was gold at the time, was that to like
Speaker 1: the record that you wanted to take it over to
Speaker 1: the platinum or yeah? Yeah, you know, um as a producer,
Speaker 1: I get here giving me the you know, the confidence.
Speaker 1: So you know, when you really believe in everything's great
Speaker 1: and you're in that frequency, you know, that's what you're attracting.
Speaker 1: And I attracted that sample and I was like this
Speaker 1: one right here, this is this right this right here, scary.
Speaker 1: You know, it was scary, you know because it was
Speaker 1: a true record for the ladies. And not only that,
Speaker 1: it felt like I felt like you and Big perfected
Speaker 1: feeding the streets and feeding the radio. Yeah, like at
Speaker 1: the same time you had who shot you that all
Speaker 1: the streets? You know what I'm saying. I gravitated towards that.
Speaker 1: But you're killing the radio, Like who did was that? You?
Speaker 1: Who developed a strategy of feed the streets and a
Speaker 1: balance that you know it was it was more of
Speaker 1: a respect thing of of of I knew what he
Speaker 1: wanted to do and if we were going to have
Speaker 1: this like partnership on making music and he was going
Speaker 1: to follow me down the road to making some of
Speaker 1: these bigger records, and you know, then I would follow
Speaker 1: him down the road to um, you know, making more
Speaker 1: the hardcore records. There's only one line that I had
Speaker 1: made him change or just record that he went too
Speaker 1: far for me, you need. I think he talked about
Speaker 1: raping Mary or something like that. Yeah, it was crazy
Speaker 1: and I just I just I just couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: And he respected dreams of y No, this is this
Speaker 1: is just a free style. Because that eventually came out
Speaker 1: through now it's kind of um like set that standard
Speaker 1: when he said when I was twelve, I went to
Speaker 1: help us nothing Jesus so all artists was trying to
Speaker 1: say something disrespectful like still clever. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yea yeah yeah but that yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: only thing that we had started to have a discussion
Speaker 1: about certain responsibilities. He didn't really give a funk. But
Speaker 1: at the same time he was he was kind of
Speaker 1: a big one. Yeah, but over the bridge that yeah,
Speaker 1: he said he whatever he said was like from from
Speaker 1: a standpoint of lyricism, it was yeah, it wasn't from
Speaker 1: this it was it wasn't the shock value like yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: like value. Yeah. He seemed like on the first album
Speaker 1: that it felt like West Coast influenced him a lot,
Speaker 1: Like that's the way I felt as a listening Yeah,
Speaker 1: really not at all. Yeah, because there were some samples
Speaker 1: that they sampled a lot of some of the West
Speaker 1: Coast records and some of the yeah yeah yeah it's
Speaker 1: far me sam Blan. I was definitely influenced by the
Speaker 1: chronic They're even Ready to Die that whole, So that
Speaker 1: not him, Yeah, yeah, that was me that because I
Speaker 1: was I heard the chronic, and I just really became
Speaker 1: obsessed with how they were able to make it sound
Speaker 1: like it was actually you actually got into a low
Speaker 1: ride and comfy. So I wanted ready to die to
Speaker 1: feel like you was, you know, in Brooklyn and from
Speaker 1: New York and so you know, Dre definitely inspired me.
Speaker 1: You know on that one, What you enjoyed more producing
Speaker 1: or being in the front like as an artist yourself.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed producing the most, you know, because because
Speaker 1: I really, um, you know, my lane is really to
Speaker 1: be the platform. You know, I've been blessed to be
Speaker 1: an artist, and I truly appreciate and think thank everybody
Speaker 1: for let me slide in and and you know and
Speaker 1: get that off. Was it Big who suggested you should
Speaker 1: be an artist? Yeah? Yeah, And the super Cat record
Speaker 1: was the first time you run and now I was
Speaker 1: on on because the first time I heard only Get Money,
Speaker 1: Yeah it's a super cap. I was supposed to be
Speaker 1: Only Get Money remakes, but I was just like, I
Speaker 1: just froze up a little bit again, Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: wasn't really believing all the way and the record was
Speaker 1: so fucking it was so hard and so crazy, So
Speaker 1: you know, so that's why Caesars on that joint, But
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be you, Yeah, it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be me. And then but then, you know, when
Speaker 1: I got with Jesse West, we were like similar type
Speaker 1: of cats, like a little bit shy in the sense
Speaker 1: of you know, but still once we got into our artistry,
Speaker 1: it was boisterous, but you know, understanding how to ease
Speaker 1: into it. And that super cat thing was really wavy,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it was really it
Speaker 1: was more in my lane than the other joint like
Speaker 1: funck bitches get money. But what was your dream? What
Speaker 1: was your dream? First? Was it being a producer or
Speaker 1: being an art on um? It was just being in
Speaker 1: the record business on stage and some capacity. I started
Speaker 1: as a background dancer. I want to see a Run
Speaker 1: dm C concert and Run held up his sneakers and
Speaker 1: when he did that, and I saw everybody hold him
Speaker 1: up all around the arena like I could relate to that,
Speaker 1: I was like I didn't. There's a way for me
Speaker 1: to be able to get you know, to to to
Speaker 1: be able to live out this crazy dream that was
Speaker 1: in my head, like yo, I could wrap and oh
Speaker 1: I could really produce. It was it was it was
Speaker 1: in me. But when I saw actually saw the power
Speaker 1: of running what he had and how he was wanted. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when I wanted to be the be an artist.
Speaker 1: And then I would say like fifteen not even fifteen
Speaker 1: years later, like yeah, like ten years later, Like I
Speaker 1: remember I was coming. I sold out the garden three times,
Speaker 1: three nights in a row, and I was I would
Speaker 1: come from them from the ceiling and so I would
Speaker 1: be like kind of staged up there, and I remember
Speaker 1: the seat that I was sitting, and I looked at
Speaker 1: the seat that I was sitting from the run DMC
Speaker 1: concert when I came up with the dreams. So he
Speaker 1: has a tennis ball from Cares one from Night of
Speaker 1: Years every definitely. So let's get to this line, because
Speaker 1: this is everybody we have some water or something. No water,
Speaker 1: water to tell me crazy? You got your own people,
Speaker 1: I told me forgot. I mean you got water, we
Speaker 1: just got but we got aqua hydrated and I got, like,
Speaker 1: who the alcohol day that water? You guys? Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I gotta get to this line because it's like
Speaker 1: you shut all your haters up and you said it
Speaker 1: don't matter if I'm like Yeah, why was it important
Speaker 1: for you to say that? It wasn't really important for
Speaker 1: me to say that. I wasn't really getting like a
Speaker 1: whole lot of flak. I never came in the game
Speaker 1: acting like I didn't have ghostwriters. I treated myself like
Speaker 1: I was Whitney Houston. I was looking at Whitney Houston.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's something about it. She has some talent.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a talent that don't have. In
Speaker 1: my mind, my thing is to um make make the
Speaker 1: best and the biggest record, no matter somebody else writes.
Speaker 1: It produces the beveratives. I just wanted to make the
Speaker 1: dopest records to make people dance feel good, you know,
Speaker 1: feel fly. You know, it makes me, It makes something
Speaker 1: that was fashion. All your hats down. It was like
Speaker 1: you ain't an avoiding it. So yeah yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but all my popping ship. Can't nobody pop shit like
Speaker 1: me because because anything I'm saying, it's something something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, all my ship is truth that I say.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Anything that I'm saying is truth.
Speaker 1: And when you know it's got aquaha Drake, look at that, man,
Speaker 1: I go, I gotta I gotta upbreak, my life got
Speaker 1: right there you with us now everything that. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: throughout all these years, the best thing, you know, um,
Speaker 1: one thing you said to me, you said nor every
Speaker 1: time I see you were always smiling. And I've really
Speaker 1: like thought back, I've been in the game since nineteen
Speaker 1: nineties six late nine seven, and every time I've seen you,
Speaker 1: you always smile. How do you do? Because I really
Speaker 1: just have I don't have no hate for people. I
Speaker 1: don't have no envia jealousy for people. So like you know,
Speaker 1: my smile is is when I see people, it's real
Speaker 1: and it's genuine, and I'm fans of everybody. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I can find something really great in
Speaker 1: in anybody. That's the way like I see things, and
Speaker 1: so naturally that's my thing unless I'm in a little
Speaker 1: bit of a funk, you know what I'm saying, because
Speaker 1: I'm like like tripolar, you know what I'm saying, So
Speaker 1: not even your yeah what I mean. So you know whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever you're seeing is what you get, and you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But it's all coming from a place
Speaker 1: of love, you know, And I admire that about you.
Speaker 1: And another thing that I admire about you that I
Speaker 1: don't feel nobody gives you the judge do is? I
Speaker 1: came over your house yesterday. I was eating I was
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes away. James Cruz hit me and said,
Speaker 1: come to the career. But hey, Ali, excuse me. So
Speaker 1: I went to the career real quick. And you have
Speaker 1: your mom's there, you have your sons there, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you something. Your son, you raised your son
Speaker 1: so excellent. Like both of them came up to me
Speaker 1: and said, nor were you good? You need anything? You
Speaker 1: want to ride the jet skis? And it was amazing
Speaker 1: to me because I'm like, damn, Like if if my
Speaker 1: father was Pop Daddy, I would be all I'll be insane.
Speaker 1: But these these kids came up to me. What we're respected?

Speaker 1: Drink on Blue Dot with Selsa Water my shot free
Speaker 1: ya listen, just pulling my shot. I made it. You
Speaker 1: gotta get love. I told you show. We're partners. Now
Speaker 1: welcome to play a new podcast network featuring radio and
Speaker 1: TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more. Play
Speaker 1: it at Play dot It. We're back to Drink Champs
Speaker 1: Radio with Rapper and R and d j f N.
Speaker 1: So we valla, let's get to a vall. Why did
Speaker 1: you feel like you wanted to start your own ship?
Speaker 1: You're stubborn nickel. You said, fuck it, let stop my
Speaker 1: own ship. They weren't playing your videos enough. No no, no,
Speaker 1: that's like you want to bring back MTV style, like
Speaker 1: where we needed music videos. Now I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 1: with y'all, like the story of of me would revote
Speaker 1: was that, you know, MTV really gave me the network.
Speaker 1: You know, there was a time between MTV and v
Speaker 1: H one that you know, I had the number one
Speaker 1: to three. So yeah, yeah, seven. They showed me a
Speaker 1: lot of love. So they taught me the game. And
Speaker 1: so when they started going into like things like Team
Speaker 1: Mom and you know, more reality based thing, which I
Speaker 1: don't knock them for any of it. Yeah, because they
Speaker 1: had got so big, they needed to generate certain ratings.
Speaker 1: If you have a network, you don't generate certain ratings,
Speaker 1: then you know, you get kicked off, you know, and
Speaker 1: so hold on like that I got, I got man.
Speaker 1: Now he ain't even pacing ourselves. Yeah okay, yeah so
Speaker 1: so yeah, So basically MTV when I saw the door open,
Speaker 1: I saw that, you know, after TRL, like you know,
Speaker 1: the platform to support new artists and up and coming
Speaker 1: artists and get people exposure. You know, had that you
Speaker 1: know one or six in park you know, that went off,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, we have so many
Speaker 1: so much creativity out here right now, you know, and
Speaker 1: I'm going from this meter we phase and I'm getting
Speaker 1: into my zone of what I'm supposed to be here
Speaker 1: for for the music industry, which is being that platform,
Speaker 1: being a source of information. Make sure that I'm giving back,
Speaker 1: I'm giving knowledge any way that I could help people
Speaker 1: achieve their dreams. That's what Revolt was about. It really
Speaker 1: wasn't a money play for me. It was that we
Speaker 1: had no place to break new artists unless it was
Speaker 1: on YouTube. But it wasn't curated to a point from
Speaker 1: like from from a level of of specialists, you know,
Speaker 1: like almost like like if you see Charles Barkley or
Speaker 1: talking on you know, on the NBA show, you know
Speaker 1: that he has the right to say that. So coming
Speaker 1: from the coming fro, coming from the artist perspective, I
Speaker 1: wanted to build something was for the artists, and that's
Speaker 1: what we've begun. Gotta have a lot of work to do.
Speaker 1: Is definitely the most difficult thing that I've ever taken
Speaker 1: on business where and that's what Drink Champs on the
Speaker 1: vocals leaving you don't because you made you made it
Speaker 1: really like very business savvy transition into getting into this
Speaker 1: lane of the way you communicate with people, and and
Speaker 1: and and sometimes when people see people that know how
Speaker 1: to communicate, they may not understand, like like the the
Speaker 1: the art and that and holding a conversation and being
Speaker 1: able to communicate. And so we had a show on
Speaker 1: Serious x M and if you listen to it, it's
Speaker 1: this it's the same as you know. But and I
Speaker 1: was always trying to find the way that we can
Speaker 1: bring that back. I new what he does. He's uncanny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know he's got that. Gonna stop talking about me.
Speaker 1: We gonna pop Daddy in the house. Yeah it make
Speaker 1: no I don't, I don't know, but check it out.
Speaker 1: We all going to talk about you when we celebrate
Speaker 1: both you guys having the number one park. That's that's
Speaker 1: out in the game. You know, I understand being number one,
Speaker 1: So his being number one and not the two. You
Speaker 1: gotta handle that baby now. Now did he that famous
Speaker 1: source of Awards speech where show got up there and
Speaker 1: he said dancing all in the videos and all that?
Speaker 1: Did you you thought that was you immediately or had
Speaker 1: to hit you later? Um, I really couldn't believe it
Speaker 1: because homeboy, me and him was friends. And yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he would pick me up from the airport, you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we gotta break some news here.
Speaker 1: He picked me up from the airport. The whole entire thing,
Speaker 1: and so it kind of had me taken back because
Speaker 1: you know, I spoke to him as they were there
Speaker 1: that you know, the way he picked up at the airport,
Speaker 1: like when he was I was. I was the first.
Speaker 1: First of all, I was the first young Nick in
Speaker 1: the game, you know what I'm saying, seventeen and so
Speaker 1: then I was the first young cat coming out here.
Speaker 1: So music Awards, you know what I'm saying, renting the
Speaker 1: fly the fly cars from the African Cats out there,
Speaker 1: so you know, I was really bumping with with with
Speaker 1: the cats out there. I used to have the the
Speaker 1: Sea Low and the crap games, you know, you know
Speaker 1: up in my hotel room. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That I was from New York. It was giving love
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't know to invite all the different cats
Speaker 1: from the streets and everything. So you know, that's how
Speaker 1: we kind of like met up, stayed in touching the
Speaker 1: whole thing, and you know, I was just networking with
Speaker 1: the brother and he would come pick me up from
Speaker 1: the airport, show me a lot of love. You know,
Speaker 1: I really had thought we would. We were cool, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, cool acquaintances, you know, what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: just being respectful from people coming into other cities and stuff.
Speaker 1: And so when he had said I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: I definitely feel where that's coming from. I know I
Speaker 1: know that it what are they crazy? I was like wow?
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, I could blow this
Speaker 1: thing up right now, you know, you know, and you know,
Speaker 1: I just side that. I just felt it was really dangerous.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. The way because the crowd
Speaker 1: was really really really really with me that he said
Speaker 1: said they could have did that yeaheah, they were they
Speaker 1: were just looking for the word or like those something
Speaker 1: up and it's just crazy. And so then you know,
Speaker 1: we went to the tunnel, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and and and and you know homeboy was in the tunnel,
Speaker 1: you know, and we go and have a conversation this
Speaker 1: time where we run the tunnel. You know, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: the whole bar is mine. Let's not get it twisted.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I I'm ordering garbage buckets
Speaker 1: of champagne. People are like like little things, garbage buckets,
Speaker 1: you know. Started the bars where I would just stand
Speaker 1: and walk around my feet, wouldn't order a beer at
Speaker 1: the bar as well. So yeah, so so to make
Speaker 1: a long story short, you know, this is where they
Speaker 1: act the parties that of course at the world famous tunnel.
Speaker 1: And so then when I had that, I ran up
Speaker 1: and I asked him and he said, now I'm talking
Speaker 1: about Jermaine dupri And I was just like, yeah. I
Speaker 1: was just like, wait, hold on what Yeah, like y'all
Speaker 1: never heard this. I was just like, you're giving us
Speaker 1: too much. Yeah, we didn't shot right now, I'm telling
Speaker 1: your pertinent information. Yeah, like at the point, it was
Speaker 1: at that point, At that point, I was scared because
Speaker 1: I know that the wolves that was with me, it
Speaker 1: was like realized wolves. And yeah, I got in. I
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't get in to hurt anybody. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be you know, I'm from home. I don't
Speaker 1: want to know no no violence. I don't want none
Speaker 1: of no danger, none of that ship I'm trying. So
Speaker 1: it was I really put to myself. I put it
Speaker 1: in my head and gave me a reason for my
Speaker 1: ego to walk away. And you know, and you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's the way that story goes from from that night.
Speaker 1: And and it was something that I just wanted. I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, because I knew how much money I
Speaker 1: was getting, you know what I'm saying, And so I
Speaker 1: was just like, it was it was a business decision,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It was a straight business decision.
Speaker 1: It wasn't being from New York decision. And it was
Speaker 1: a cultural decision because I felt like the power that
Speaker 1: we had was so strong that I could do something
Speaker 1: so negative that it would really kind of mess things up.
Speaker 1: And so I was I was like, he just said,
Speaker 1: it wasn't me, it was Domaine dupri and so you know,
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, he said that then at that
Speaker 1: moment after yeah, yeah, I mean when I said, when
Speaker 1: I stepped to him, I mean I had step. So
Speaker 1: nobody's that's never been told. Oh I ain't never No, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's never been told. But it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's just the truth. So you know, it depends
Speaker 1: on how you ask your line of question and how
Speaker 1: you could get to the root of it, and so
Speaker 1: you know, and when he asked it the line of questions,
Speaker 1: it was honestly the scariest situation of my life because
Speaker 1: of the level the level of power that we had
Speaker 1: that we had and it could have gone really bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And you know, it wouldn't have just sucked
Speaker 1: up your ship. It would have sucked up a lot
Speaker 1: of ship. But but that wasn't where my heart was at.
Speaker 1: So you can only where your heart is at, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If your heart ain't like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, ain't way my heart was
Speaker 1: like you know, damn there you can't we just all
Speaker 1: get along? What is what are we doing right now?
Speaker 1: We're so also hot right now we're supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing things together and um, you know, but wait but wait,
Speaker 1: but do you think if you would have approached it
Speaker 1: differently in that moment, the chain of events afterwards would
Speaker 1: have changed. Um, I think it would have been worse
Speaker 1: because you know, at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was It was a it was a
Speaker 1: decision that the city was waiting for me to make.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. They let me know that
Speaker 1: they was with me, and what do you do? What
Speaker 1: am I doing? And you oh my god, I just
Speaker 1: took the ship by myself. I'm like, it's just that
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, but just you always have
Speaker 1: to be yourself. You know what I'm saying. Some people
Speaker 1: are gangsters that at the end of the day could
Speaker 1: just turn it up and just be like fuck it.
Speaker 1: And some people have like a level of conscious because
Speaker 1: of their relationship with God. And so me knowing that
Speaker 1: I could do mass instruction, it was it wasn't something
Speaker 1: that that was authentic to me. That wasn't who I was.
Speaker 1: I just wanted everybody to get money, be flying dance.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying is had pretty girls smiling
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody getting treated with respect. So my
Speaker 1: my my thing wasn't there. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Damn Pa, you're giving us some good ship. You know
Speaker 1: what says that my parrot that was let no, oh
Speaker 1: my god, we are. I'm gonna keep thanking you. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry because I'm gonna thankful nigga um the other day
