I saw 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.639 the interview with a Post Live and you said you 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.640 don't like doing interviews with hip hop outlets because they 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.159 take things out of context a lot. Yeah, but this 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.960 ain't your hip hop right, absolutely not. This is the 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.000 right place to do a lot. But it don't matter anyway, 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.600 and stuff I say a lot of things. This is 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.839 very true.

She wrote it, Amy 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.120 wrote it, and it comes from a real place, and 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.639 they say that the best comedy comes from the darkest places. 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.000 So what is trainwreck about? Basically? You know what your 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.840 females do? What you wait, huh, what you females do? 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.640 What we do? Train wrecks? Man, you see it on 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:28.240 reality TV all the time. You guys are in that case. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.319 Y'all are training Rex as well. So you are not 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.800 all females, but a lot of females and a lot 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.840 of guys too. Yeah, you're right, you're right, yea. They're 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.119 trying to save you from them taking a headline, taking 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:45.360 somebody contact.

Yes, Judd Apatol joint 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.680 um Well, Judd directed it, and he's what can I 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.560 say that? Man, it's like a genius. He could take 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.640 a comedic moment, turn it real serious and then turn 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.800 it back to comedy without missing a beat, you know 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.640 what I'm saying. And then the transitions are good, like 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.880 I mean, for example, with this is forty, when Leslie 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.600 Man's characters talking to Paul Rudd, they're in the bed 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.200 and it's like the serious conversation going on, and she's 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.760 like letting them know, like I'm at this age now 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.000 when I'm having these feelings and you know, and it's 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.280 very serious between the two of them, and then you 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.240 know it's silence and then he just foughts, that's real 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:31.400 right there. Yeah, yeah, that's I remember Dutch ovens uch Oven. Yeah. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.560 Now this wasn't the first one you tried out forward Jodavatar. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.800 Nah I tried out for Funny People with him and 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.440 Richard got that part. Did that piss you off a 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.680 little bit? Nah? I was happy for Risarm. I was like, yeah, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.040 at least one of us got it, you know what 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.400 I'm saying. And then, um, did y'all tell each other like, Hey, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.160 I'm going out for to do this try for the No, no, no, 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.480 we had different agencies and agents at that time. Matter 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.200 of fact, he had an agent. I didn't. I was 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.320 just walking in on the auditions like, let me get that. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.160 But um, I just told myself. I promised myself that 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.320 if I ever got the opportunity to work with jud again, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.040 I don't care if it's a grip holding the boomstick whatever, 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.040 I'm gonna step up and do what I gotta do. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.040 And I'm sure that if you reached out to him 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.200 and know him personally, He would love to work would 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.040 have loved to work with you anyway. Well, he did 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.280 say that he wants to His goal is to put 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.440 a Wool Tang member each Woo Tang member and at 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.919 least one of his freaking movies. So wow, did you 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.600 and Rizz ever talk about that when you're always coming 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.240 up like, yeah, we're gonna get into Hollywood and do 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:31.400 the acting thing, nah Me or Rizzle? Really, well, you 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.680 don't talk to Z talks to you even at this 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.240 stage in the game. Rizz is like he's what can 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.360 I say? Like, he's he's an intriguing person like he 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.080 when he speaks a lot of people listen because he 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.840 makes sense. And uh, I don't know, I can't even 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.560 put a finger on it. He just has that magnetic 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.840 thing that attracts people. Soon. But that doesn't mean you 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.440 always agree, No, that doesn't mean we always agree. But 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.960 I mean he brought nine individuals together for one common 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.480 cause and it worked for a long time, still working. Yeah, yeah, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.440 did it get difficult moving as the unit with Wu 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.160 Tang as y'all got old then more successful, because you know, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:13.560 it's like it was difficult from day one because Richard 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:14.640 had a lot of When we went out on the 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.520 first tour, Richard still had a lot of obligations to 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.479 finish up solo albums and stuff like that. You know, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.800 Dirty made the show was that Dirty wanted to make. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.440 And I mean people got used to it after a while, 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.080 but I mean it gets to a point where, yeah, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.279 you know, like, um, they said Batman, I think it 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.520 was he said, you lived long enough to see yourself 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.800 become the villain. Yeah, that happens. We've been in the 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.400 game a long time, so you know it's going to 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.120 be flaws and mishaps and mistakes and things said. And 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.280 you know, I'm just grateful that we've been doing it 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.200 this long. I remember early on it used to be 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.320 difficult because it is nine people trying to make flights, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.080 nine people trying to get places on time, and one 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.440 person would come, whoever was first would say, oh, nobody 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.320 else is here, and then they would leave and yeah, yeah, 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.359 that's but that's only that's a lobby call. That's what 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.760 anybody you know, if you're the first down for lobby 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.760 cole when it's time to go to the show, it's like, well, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.680 ain't nobody else down there. All right, I'm gonna go 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.360 back up for him minute when everybody else downstairs, because 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.560 you don't want to be the first man because you 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:13.120 never know, Like the notoriously late dudes is killer ye 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:18.200 coming downstairs late ghosts. But Ghost has his reasons right medically, 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.719 Yeah like that, and uh, that's it really. The rest 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.240 of the dudes are pretty young. Point. We got to 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.080 find Jissers sometimes right, but he'd be right there soon 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.240 the showtime show up out of nowhere, boom right there, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.279 and sometimes Dirty would just pop up out of nowhere, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.919 and Dirty be in the crowd watching the show, chilling 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:35.440 it first, and then they had come up and do 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.479 the sh There was any pressure because you were the 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.440 first artist to go solo from the war, well at 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.440 first year? At first was there any pressure first because 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.840 everything was riding on how successful your project was. Ignorance 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.120 is bliss. I didn't see it at that level, but 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.400 it was more or less like going out on the 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.520 road by myself because I hadn't done that. I was 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.080 always out with the crew, so that was like my 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.240 little shield and stuff. So it got to a point 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.160 where I was like, well, I'm just gonna bring a 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.880 couple of block dudes with me, and I'm familiar with 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.599 so I can be comfortable. And most of my shows 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.400 was with Big, so you know, I was very comfortable. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.440 Right after like two or three shows, it was like, 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.600 oh I got this and only had three, so we'll 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.839 bring the pain or to bring the pain method man 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:19.520 method man, And it was one more. No, not that 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.040 because over the songs that we did. After I did 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.440 my three songs and then we would do Wu Tang 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.280 songs and then I would bring people on stage the 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.000 free Stun and it would get crowded and I would disappear. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.960 You know, if the truth that they wanted your album 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.159 to come out even before the Wu Tang project, No, no, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.960 I wasn't even a thought. We all started that goal 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.279 like monopoly. You know, whoever gets boardwalk, whoever gets there first. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.000 So that's what it was, man. We all start at 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.960 the same point, and just some dudes prospered or seeing 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.360 the the bigger picture a little bit faster than others, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.599 or maybe the opportunity knocked for this person before knocked 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.920 for that one. But I mean, as far as my crew, 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.560 all of us is dope. Man. I heard once that 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.760 really charged you. One hundred dollars to get on protect 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.320 your next. No, it was no, no, it was you 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.000 know it was real though. You know it was like, Yo, 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.720 bring one hundred dollars to the studio. You know, we 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.120 gotta pay for the studio time and we're talking about 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.040 nine people. Well it was eight eight then you know 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.240 that's eight hundred dollars that paid for a studio session. 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.760 And everybody Ron was ready, I mean were doing that 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.680 for free anyway in his house, seven peroi was good. 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.240 And you're the youngest one right out of everybody. Yeah, 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:31.640 they ain't a lot a lot. That's like she bar 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.360 Ain't that low real? Now, you was one of the 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.800 few mcs. You might be the only MC to actually 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.800 record with Biggiempop while he was alive. Yeah, yeah, but 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.720 not with Pop though Pop came home out of jail. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.520 He was in jail when we recorded that song that 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.200 was for the Dog Pound album and uh Rage and 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.640 Deck was on it. So when Pop came home, like 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.000 a family supposed to do, they gave him everything they 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.280 had so he can put some material out. Quit California 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.920 Love was a song they gave it to Pop. That 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.600 song that I'm on I got made up, they gave 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.880 it to pop, and I was, you know, salute by 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.640 all means, because I was still a fan of pop 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.320 regardless of what was going on with him and Big 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.080 and stuff and me and Big was cool, you know 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.680 what I mean. But I don't judge anybody by what 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.960 beast they had because I wasn't there, you know what 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.360 I'm saying. So however they went, however it went down, 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:28.560 or however you know pop perceived big and Big perceived pop, 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.560 that wasn't none of my business right there. I had 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.680 love for Big and I had love for pop. So 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.959 that why Rebel Lion? That's it, says Rebel Lion. That's 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.640 at the end of that track. Yeah. I couldn't figure 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:37.720 it out out for a year. I'm like, did he 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.520 produce it? What happened? He was on it? He was, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.439 he said a four verse, but I don't know what happened. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.000 You gotta ask Dass Dylan Jo about that one. Oh Dad, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.160 I gotta hear that, Dass. Yeah, whatever, how did music 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.320 slow down for you? Because at one time you was 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.520 on everything, every movie, every video, every song, and then 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.640 it just slowed down? Was it? The label was? What 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.760 wasn't it was the process. It was like I was 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.000 doing too much. And I tell a lot of artists, 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.280 I mean, last person I told that too was too change, like, y'all, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.120 keep some of that for yourself, stop giving you away, 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.760 keep some of that for yourself. But I don't know 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.400 if he listened, because he's still on everybody, you know. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.040 But it gets to a point where people get no, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.240 I won't say tired, but it's like, damn, it's like 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.640 it's too much, you know, and then you gotta take 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.439 a step back in. And what I didn't get a 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.320 chance to do was step back and home my craft. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.360 It was just like I was jotting most of those 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.840 years because it was always a new project coming up 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.439 once I finished one project, and then you got dates 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.840 you gotta make and and things of that nature. So 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.880 I mean I was really like Sleep Albums one through three. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.920 Really yeah, at one point, I mean, at one point 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.040 of you, it seemed like you were the hottest artist 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.880 in the game. This lyrically, I don't know if I 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.000 would call that sleep. No. I mean no, no, no, no, 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:54.040 don't get me wrong. And I mean like it wasn't 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.320 it wasn't to the caliber that I knew that I 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.640 could get to even my first album, most of the 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.320 material got washed out the flood and Rizzar's basement if 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.080 y'all remember that history right there. So I had to 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.480 record while Wu Tang was on the road, and this 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.480 was our first tour, so we're getting booed every f 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.320 and night, So that emotion was coming out in those records. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.559 I guess the people felt that second album. I didn't 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.080 even really have Rizzard in the studio with me for 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.080 the second album. It was it was yeah, yeah, no 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.000 Judgment Day, and it was mostly True Master, you know 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.520 Fourth Disciple. I even produced one of the joints on 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.280 the air. And now you still to this day work 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.720 with True Master and Fourth Disciple. No a True Mass 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.280 I'm not no no Fourth Disciple. Yeah, four Fourth, it 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.800 is my man, but True Masses. Um he had camp. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.080 Oh that's right, you got locked up. Yeah he said it. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.839 I mean I forgot about that in Bootcare Kendrick. Kendrick 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.360 created a lot of hommedy to do you on SNL 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.160 with the I guess that the anniversary of Judgment Day, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.840 I'm gonna go real, I'm gonna change my whole in acular. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.280 I liked it that you did I liked it. No, 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.000 but I met Kendrick before. He's a cool little dude. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.960 He's um focused smart. I like that. I like that 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:09.040 a lot. It's like Public Enemy was to us, but 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.400 a little more less than what Public. I mean, nobody 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.080 can do what Chuck did. I mean, Chuck taught me 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.880 who Marcus Garvey was. Even Malcolm Max. You know what 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.800 I'm saying, because up to that point, the schools I 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:24.440 was in didn't teach us about Malcolm Max. But um, Kendrick, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.480 he definitely got his thumb on the pulse of a 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.600 black culture. Now. You were also one of the last 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.240 artists to join social media. I remember when you joined Twitter. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.240 What made you decide to do that? Because you didn't 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.400 know what to do because somebody was on there trying 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.360 to get Coach under my name, so we took it. 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.000 I don't know. I mean, if you got dumb ladies, 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:54.080 I mean, let me stop. No, ladies, No, it's just 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.760 the line of question and it's going in that direction. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.640 That's that's all it is. Um. Yeah, I mean some 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.440 dude was on the impersonating the kid try and get Coach, 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.079 and I don't think any women really fell for that. 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.320 There we go there, we go. We're smarter than that. Yeah, absolutely, 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.240 And we were talking about you know you you were 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.400 holding your music, you were doing so much stuff and 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.200 then when did you stop because we just missed you 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.360 for a period of time. I didn't stop, you know 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.520 what it was? My mics was off the radar, guest 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.120 because because I mean, you think about it. After the 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.480 second album came the Blackout album, another Wu Tang album, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.600 then my next you know what it was, It was 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.080 so much time in between time. I'm on that doctor 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.959 Drake and he adopted Dred to be putting four and 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.080 five years and now how many years has it been? Right? Yeah, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.320 it's a long time, a long time, and you can't 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.120 you can't do that. I remember Leo Cohen told me 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.880 that he was like, um, I love Onix, but you 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.600 know what's wrong with ONIXT They take too long to 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.199 make albums. And I didn't believe him at that point 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.160 because Onyx was on fire. It took him like four 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.080 years to make that next album, which I thought was 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:01.280 a dope album. But people weren't like that. That's a 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.559 whole presidential term. You're going from mate graduated high school. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.120 We don't think about it. Like that because the time 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.120 is constantly moving. I mean you're on the road, you're 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.000 making appearances, you're doing all that crazy doing movies, TV shows, man, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.000 and it doesn't slow down. And I mean it's all 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:15.720 fun even when you're not working. You're going an All 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.840 Star weekend, you're going to super Bowls like that. Kevin 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.120 Lyles spoiled me and Red Man shout out to Kevin Lyles, 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.240 And I mean, it doesn't slow down. That's why everything 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.360 was a blur. That's that's what I meant by like, 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.240 I would sleep through most of those albums that I 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.080 was making, with the exception of the first one and 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.560 the last one, Real Tool, Did you enjoy any of 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.360 the moments though? Yeah, all of them. I wouldn't change anything. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.480 And that's why I can't knock these new artists down 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.679 for what they're doing because we have fun. They having 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.120 fun right now. Y'all have fun, man, that what everybody say. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:53.439 Y'all wear yours as tight as y'all fun a little 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.880 for real bad. It's a whole world out there for 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.400 y'all to explore. Man, and you and Red Man made 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.520 a lot of money together with the movies and sitcoms. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.160 Was there ever a point with other members of Wu 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.040 Tang would probably would get jealous of how y'all were 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.440 moving together. It was never any jealousy and stuff like 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.560 that because one off for one and one for all. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.839 There was a win for the team and everybody was 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.320 free to do what they want to do as well. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.240 Now like you couldn't go out. I wasn't jealous about 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.880 the team at all. Bad. It was like we was 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.760 all rooting for each other, the same way we still 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.360 root for Rison now with his directing stuff. You know, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.400 even Ghost Ghost was in the Iron Man movie. I 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.520 don't know why I didn't make the cut, but Ghost 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.280 is good. So nobody ever got jealous. Knocked the turntables off? 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.400 Are you were about to perform? Or that's Dirty acting craziest? 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.040 You know what that was? Gotta tell that story because 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.920 that's a funny stary because Dirty tried to take the 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.080 mic from somebody earlier that night and they wasn't having it. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.160 Because this was like the fourth or fifth time Dirty 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.160 had did that. He was notorious, but jumping on stage 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.000 is taking the mics and rocking and show whatever. He 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.280 didn't getting no love this time. People people booed his 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.000 ass and all that he was a little mad at 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.440 He wasn't necessarily mad at me. We was just the 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.800 next act that happened to come on, and you know 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.560 what I'm saying, And it was probably even though I 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.160 was on stage, his ass was so drunk ish and 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.920 just knocked the turntables down. Yeah, turntables over. But thanks Angie. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.720 I see. He was always an arguments with members of 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:13.040 the crew. I remember the show. Everybody remembers the show. Yo. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.280 That's that's healthy. That's healthy healthy. That's why if anybody 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.280 ever try and balk on me, I'm quitting the bark 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.520 on them back. I know how to argue, you know 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.880 what I mean. Remember when I first met meth walking argue. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.080 I thought he was so mean, but it really is 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.320 just his He's just an argumentative person. He don't mean 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.200 nothing by it. But when I first started record there, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.440 I was like, why is he so mean? But that's 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.400 just how meth acts. He's not really. You gotta be 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.080 on your guard all the time around people, you know, 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.680 when you're a public figure, so to speak, because you 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.280 know it's a lot. I mean, if the Internet is 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.160 any indication of what it was back then, then you 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.440 know what you know what the troll is right now, 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:54.000 imagine those more being in the audience or standing outside. Yeah, 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.880 your crib and like that, stealing your mail and things 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.280 of that nature. Crank calling your crib. You know it's 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.440 it's but how do you deal with it? Because you're 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.360 the type that you will come up to somebody's crib, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.240 come to somebody's job. You've done it before. Never tell 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:08.560 you that time meth Man. I thought I was gonna 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.000 get beat up by meth Man. Yeah. The story people 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.640 out there listening it was. It was a situation. I 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.960 used to work with Wendy Williams, and I guess Wendy 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.360 had said something about Yeah, I wasn't that joking about it. No, 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.560 I wasn't funny man. I heard laughter. I don't know 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.880 who it was in't there. But you know what, you 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.160 could make good on that because she's sitting right Yeah, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.600 his wife is right here now to make good. Well, 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.600 that was the whole that was before my time when 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.200 when Wendy made those comments, came out and spoke to 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.320 me though, Yeah I did because I because because I 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.520 made him because I called when they's husband like yo, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.160 meth Man in the lobby and he was like, we'll 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.960 go talk to him. I'm like, go talk to him. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.480 So I go out there all at him and Memphis 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.400 like because I made comments about your lyrics, I said, 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.280 you you weren't as how did you used to be? Yeah, 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.880 you're right, And and memmis came from the time. I 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.680 guess Wendy exposed that his wife had cancer at the time, 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.240 and that's what it was. Yeah, And so you know, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.120 you wonder how I remember when I walked down that lobby, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.160 Methals out there with two of the craziest looking mother 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.480 we're seeing in my life. It was a driver and 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:16.000 my cousin is crazy, you know what I mean crazy. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.480 I'm not one of them dudes that you know. Yo, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.800 I want you to sit downstairs in the car wait 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.480 for these to come out and get them. Nah, it's 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.560 if you're gonna see me, You're gonna see me. You 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.800 know what I'm saying face to face, and I'm not. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.480 I mean, as far as the argument stuff and stuff like, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.399 that's what my brothers. I don't argue with people in 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.240 the street. That's not happening straight up and down. If 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.040 I see you, it's just gonna be me and you. 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:44.520 We're gonna have a grown discussion or the Ellis fight. Ever, 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.159 that's it. It ain't no in betweens with that. You 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.640 know what I'm saying. As far as as far as 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.320 old girl, I wish her the best. She's very successful, 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.960 she's blessed God, blessed. Do your thing. I don't even 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.280 want to talk about that, because you know, meThe man 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.040 is the reason why we have the tape interviews. Now. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.560 I don't know, Well, I was doing another show and 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.040 I guess we said something about Meth and Meth was 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.000 quick to call and me would call and he's expressed 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:19.199 his feelings. Remember you know what it was, no, no, 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.680 no for re remembers, always calm, just like this. Those 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.200 are people I'll be like, oh lord, it's it's it's 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.760 it's the fact. Okay. This was when my Space was 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.800 out and I was hearing a lot of stuff coming 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.360 from the radio station. So I told my fans, you know, well, 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.000 they got their people calling up, and they're they're probably 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.280 screening calls. You know, if you're saying something nice about me, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.560 you're not getting through. You say something meffed up, they 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.760 put you on. So I had the MySpace people. I 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.880 gave the number out to the station, blew it up, 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:53.840 blue faxes and phone calls and the website. Yeah, that 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.000 was cool. I don't know if that's the situation you're 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:57.960 talking about now. You call, you called, and you balked, 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:59.239 you cursed a couple of times. It was about two 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.760 hundred fifty. What they'll say, I don't remember. Of course, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.399 this is before dump Muttons and none of that. Damn 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:09.960 you really you really think I fell off lyrically. I 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.639
