So the crazy ship is I'm telling murder 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.880 Mook the other day and I'm like, yo, when you 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.360 look at Cameron's video, his very first video, Horse and Carriage, 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.160 and then you was in there, I forgot that you 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.000 were sitting right next. So the crazy thing is, I'm 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.760 only cameras coat. Just just not pulling this coat, but 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.480 just tell them like, yo, bro, I really was dead 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.639 from the beginning. And one thing that I did I 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:41.000 overlooked was I wasn't alone. You was then with me, Like, so, 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.960 how did you wind up in the host of carriage video? 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:49.079 That's crazy. I was always in videos that wow. I 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:53.000 was like, um, I was always just popping up a video. 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.680 It was cool with a lot of rappers. You know, 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.120 I don't like to go out a lot like now 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.320 that you know me better, you know me, yes, but 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.160 when then you know, it is like when people tell 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.000 me to pull up my pull up. Yes. Yes, So 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.120 I was at the video and if you remember, I'm 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:12.000 fell in the pool. Oh remember that because I can't swim. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.520 So yeah, so we're both there that that. That was 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:21.280 so dope because, um, a lot of people don't know 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.520 that a lot of people don't know that Queens of 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.880 Harm's history. Because queens we get the we get the 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.000 worst slack because we really don't. It seems like we 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.640 really don't get along with each other, like queens within 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.800 each other. You're talking about within each other. It seems 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.120 like like it just doesn't happen. It kind of is true, 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.800 it's kind of true. We'll get into all of that, okay, 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.120 But l A is like that to Philadelphias like that. 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.320 I think that New York. I think the focus because 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.600 we were at a hip hop, it focuses on us 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.200 a little bit more. What do you think? Mm hmmm, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.840 I think uh Now, I think people call it like 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.440 they said, queens be having a lot of conflicts, you 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.480 know what I'm saying, Like we're as down south, they'll 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.240 have their issues, but they'll make music together. They'll stick 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:20.720 together together, they make songs together. Whereas Queens. Uh, I 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:25.520 think Queens is like uh a stubborn burrow because because 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.599 queens had to fight for us respect. Remember back in 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.520 the days, people underestimated queens because of caress. Um you 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:39.600 didn't hear people from cold queens, and and people underestimated queens, 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.960 so people thought queens was soft, even on Rickey's aland 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:48.039 back in the day queens. So you know, queens always 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:49.640 had to fight for us respect. And if parts of 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.640 Queens that are ferocious, Like I've seen a lot of 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.480 people get their ass toll off and rockaways because they 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.640 thought it was sweet, like dudes from out of town 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:01.719 to come out there far rockaways rock. I'm South South Jamaica, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:09.720 left right, you know what I'm Queens gets busy, so um, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:14.039 I think um a lot of I think queens also, Um, 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.120 Queen's got the most diverse community, so many different people 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.719 in Queens. So it's so big and it's so uh. 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.440 That's why I don't think he Trump is on Queens 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.000 because you can't be from Queens to be racist. I'm sorry, No, 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:31.200 that's true, that's true. But what I'm as far as Trump, 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.679 I just think I don't know what it is about Queens, 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.240 but we definitely Queens definitely be having a lot of 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.360 conflict um even with the murders Maserati Fox got killed 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.400 in Queens. The brother stack bundles chinks to them, Mr Jay, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.000 And I'm not even thinking hard so Queens, I don't know. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.279 We gotta do better, we gotta do better. So now 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:59.720 this album comes out, King's Disease, I'm not gonna lie. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.200 I didn't see this record coming. I don't know if 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:09.440 something was doing that on purpose, but this record comes 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.080 out and I'm not, like I said, I'm not gonna 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.960 keep it on Hunt. When I looked at it, I 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.640 was like, this gotta be an old verse, right, I'm 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.640 talking about from all of y'all. So I said this 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.200 must be an old NAS record. But then not only 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:31.680 was I wrong? No, I sound good together? What was 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:36.360 that conversation like? Because I know you and as for 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.440 lack of a better term, have a very confusing type 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:44.240 of relationship, like from the outsiders looking at I think 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.120 that's are looking in um don't share the same peripheral 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.560 because our relationship wasn't confused, and it's just it was 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.440 just us, like we Our relationship is different from any 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.760 of the rappers with conflict because we actually grew up 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.960 together with our families know each other. I've spoken to 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.560 his father before, I've seen his mother thousands of times. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.719 You know what I'm saying. I know his brother. You 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.960 know what I'm saying exactly. God blessed her. She was 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.120 a graceful, classy woman. You know what I'm saying, Like 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:17.520 I know Jabari before. You know what I'm saying, Like 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.760 I knew not said he knows Corey. So it's a 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.320 difference between these other beats. So I think it was both. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.120 It wasn't confused and it was just us. It was 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:32.040 just an emotional his emotions involved, and I think UM 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:37.000 time and UM time and understanding could could could rectify 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.000 things if the love is real, you know what I'm saying. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.720 So we both mature men, and you know when we 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.760 want one thing about me as you know, because you 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.240 know me now, I don't gotta speak to you every day, 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.240 but when I speak to you, it's like we were 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:56.560 speaking every day. And and when we spoke everything it 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.440 feels like we never ever had issues. So let me 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.480 ask you this. So what he called you? Did he 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.440 did he tell you that this is a firm record 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.400 or he just said just send your verse and you 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.160 you didn't really know. It wasn't It wasn't like you 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.680 know how I am. So when we spoke, it wasn't 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.520 about music, because I don't care about the music. I 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:18.640 even on some real ship. I don't even care about 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:24.680 the affirm song or any song. It's it's about our friendship. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.840 Like if we never rap again, the fact that our 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.160 friendship is repaired, that's the most beautiful thing out of 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.559 it all. That's what That's what's great about you. I continue. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.520 I'll get into that later, but continue. So we spoke, 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.760 We spoke about and I know you mean this because 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.400 I know you and I know you mean this. So 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.439 so we spoke about numerous things before we even got 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.960 to the song, you know what I'm saying. And then um, 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.640 by the time we got to um speaking about doing 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.160 the song, I was with it because um, obviously, because 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.720 we're cool, and because that's what the culture wanted, Like 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.160 people wanted us to make music for so long. I'll 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.720 never realized how bad that the public wanted that. I 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.040 didn't realize it until it dropped as well. When it dropped, 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.559 I was like, wall, okay, I continue, so and that's 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.319 that's the crazy ship is I forgot how much I'm 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.960 a fan of the group because honestly, the Firm kind 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.480 of put me on to a certain extent. But I 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.480 forgot how much I was a fan of the group 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.760 when I heard the record, and I just kept rewinding 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.840 because I got a job to do, so I gotta 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.320 be analytical, so I kept me winding, and I was like, 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.200 is that the whole first is that like I'm being 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.600 I'm being a fan. I'm being a fan, so I'm 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.719 looking and when I forget, I don't know if I 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.840 posted it or whatever I did, And I just see 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:44.240 the fans reaction, how the firm because it was a supergroup. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.480 It was the very first supergroup to me, Yeah, yeah, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.439 it was so all right now getting it into that, 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.720 let's get straight into it, because I did act nature 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.680 the other day that he was on the hill and 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.760 I said, I asked to repeat the rhind the reason 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.439 why I asked to repeat the r to beat the 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.160 rynd the heat he had dissed you, because you know 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.080 I was in that session. I know. I never and 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.160 this is the thing that the craziest ship is maca 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:11.160 just real talk. I never knew why he dissed it. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.480 I was actually in the session. I went upstay as 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:15.800 I said that to him. What he was here, I 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.680 wouldnderstand when he came back. That's the reason why I 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:22.600 asked him was because when they got edited. You remember 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.520 they edited him, and when they got edited, I didn't. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.760 I never knew where did that come from. So let's 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:42.439 did you do what? Jack some champagne? Now? Yeah, so listen, Okay, 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.760 before we didn't get to that. Okay, you just said that. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.560 You asked saying to say what you say? I asked nature, 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.000 why did he do that? Because I thought, this is 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.400 what I thought when I went to the back food 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.319 nahs or somebody gassed him in all our reality, I 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.319 think he just did it on his own. All right, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.360 let me stop you there, okay, please, you just did. 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.520 He made me proudly this. Now you just did a 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.240 You had a great journalistic moment. Do you realize all 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.040 these years in hip hop, no journalists ever kept it 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:18.000 a hundred like that? Remember they were people were trying 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.720 to paint pictures of me changing navatives about me. Remember 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.480 mega'sine megasine hater or Mega it's jealous, he just wants 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:30.200 to shine, or et cetera. He just nature because he's mad. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.640 You're the first journalist I ever said that that brought 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.680 that out, and and they just said it on your show. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.880 So I knew, I knew, but but the perception was 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.120 exactly true. It's true. You're right. You see what I'm saying. 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.440 So when that happened, I was shocked. I was like, wow, 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.600 so um, but it is what it is. You know, 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.640 it's oldest, you know. But we have to have your 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.120 side because I just had natures. Okay, so what so 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.960 the thing is this right? I need to know because 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.640 and you said than to me the other day, and 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.440 I had agree with you. You said one thing about me, Nori, 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.040 you knew about who I was on the street prior 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.120 to you knew who I was as a rapper, And 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.560 that's true. I did hear about core Mecca on the 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.680 street prior to me hearing about you as a rapper. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.000 I heard about you getting busy on the streets. So 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.080 one thing for show, for certain I did not know 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.320 what this was coming from. When I asked Nature that 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.480 I was being totally for real because I didn't know, 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.600 and I wasn't powerful enough to be like take my 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.560 verse or or I don't want to be a bard. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.640 I wasn't powerful enough. I had to just play my position. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.520 So you you knowing you and NAS probably having a 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.040 little discrepancies or whatever. You're hearing that nature of this too. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.360 That stup had to funk you up. Know that started 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:53.839 the descrepacies. That's what I'm saying, you have now. This 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.280 is before that record. That record started the whole ship. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.559 I did not notice. I'm really so, I said, you 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:07.480 just had Yeah, I had that reckon never came now 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.920 I knows this jumble jump, so I didn't know. See, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.600 I never knew. So when I heard that record, I 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.000 was just mad. I'm thinking everybody's gone at me. So 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.720 I'm like, damn. I'm like, damn. I thought me and 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.520 nort was cool. Damn. Like you know what saying now, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.080 I know now thought back that he had a problem 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.120 with you. To know, if you listen, if somebody comes 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:33.760 out soon called DJ ever called me Pila, You're gonna 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.200 be like, yeah, I thought me and Meg was cold. 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.800 You might not be You're gonna be like so next 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.000 time you see me, you might be hands't gona be 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.520 that warm. So it's like I was just like wow. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.480 I was like, that's just shocked me. So um it 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.840 is what it is like that started everything. If that 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.760 record never came out there, there would be no distance. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.280 I had no reason to dis anybody. You know what 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.640 I'm saying. I did not know that. I did not know. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.080 I sweel have God learned it right now? Let's that's 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.440 one of my favor So the industry really owes me apology. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:06.679 Only Corny asogized to you for that. But Mega, I'm 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:13.480 gonna be honest with you. At that time, Megan was 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.400 like one of the most arrogantess. Dude, explain that to me. 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.840 That's how you came over gross, like whenever I used 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.320 to come around, I'll see you. I just used to 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:27.960 be like and later on identify it with confidence. I 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:32.400 was too young to look at that and say that's confidence. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.440 I was looking like dad. Maybe he's an average between 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.000 confidence and arrogance. Like in like, explain to me what 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.800 made you think? Tell you what the difference is as 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.440 a rock who as a human being pretty much both 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.880 pretty much both because I'm I'm gonna keep you real. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.560 You was always like a fly, dude. He was always 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.720 like flying in the average person you came and you 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.640 always had to fly polo on and always just and 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.880 I'll just be like and people that was the rule 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.680 about you, Like Megan's an arrogant guy. So that's the 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.320 reason why I think people thought you saw the nature 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.960 beef as opposed to nature because because because because if 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.800 you put you in nature together, a person is gonna 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.000 remember you no dispective, Nat, that's my brother, but they 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:13.840 person is gonna remember it's something about your or or 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.800 something about your style. And and that's the reason why 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:19.680 I think it came off. Have you ever heard that 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:27.560 about yourself? Only from people with that yo, you think 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.200 about this. Nobody in Brooklyn says that. Nobody far away, 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.200 you know, people from all over that New Week hmm, 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.000 if any I mean, if that's the worst people can 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.800 say about me, Wow, if that's the worst actually, because 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.120 that's like they said, Jordan is arrogant, they said Kobe's arrogant. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.440 I was confident, but at the same time you said 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.400 I wear polar all the time. There's a girl name 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.960 te Teeth from Queen but you probably one day, I'm 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.880 standing on the hill. I got the crazy polo shirting, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.440 the dopest fun and she was complimenting me on the 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.640 shirt and ain't there And I'm saying, because she's a 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.600 live show to t T shoo confirmness, I took my 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.400 polo shirt off my back and gave it to her. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.640 So why people don't tell that side of the story. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:14.920 Remember Megan Couto While people don't say, oh Megan, remember 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.720 remember that peace mega ha. I was wearing diamonds before 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.560 everybody too, but I never made nobody feel less about it. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.960 That same Domond penance you see me on it. I 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.680 gave it to Spink when he came home. Same Gucci 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.120 wat to have with the authentic Gucci dimonds. I gave 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.920 that to somebody when they came home. Why people don't 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.000 say that? So the people that said yo, nor you 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.040 know me better than that. I'm a very quiet with you. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.280 So when you so, when you stay to yourself and 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.560 you yo, people seem more in me than I've seen 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.720 it myself. Because it's like I'm not an outgoing person. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.320 I'm not the type of person I'm saying, how you doing? 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.600 My name is Mega. I stayed to myself. I'm a 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.720 quiet every time we go out with im. Whar am I? 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.400 I'm in the cut, so you see me in the 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.800 cut and I'm looking a certain way and I'm quiet. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.600 Sometimes people think I'm staying old fish when when I'm 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.760 really just to myself. Some people say I'm shy. Some 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.560 people just that's pretty pretty much the opposite of arrogance, 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.040 you know what it's like. So if the worst that 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.080 that somebody can say about me is I'm arrogant, I 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:15.920 must be a hell of a dude. You've never heard 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.240 nobody saying, Meg, it's a snake. You've never felt uncomfortable 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:23.160 around me. You've never heard nobody say, Mega, jerk me right, 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.399 let's let's let's switch it up a little bit. You 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.240 have the experience to be on folly, to be down 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.919 with Chris, Like, what was your experience with Chris la? 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:37.560 Chris Lottie was like a big brother that you always 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.040 want to impress, that you always want to try to press. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:45.320 He gives you tough love, especially me. Um. It was 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.760 an honor. I learned a lie. I learned about patience 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.320 because I was impatient. I wanted to come out, and 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:57.000 Chris was teaching me about the game. But during that 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:02.040 time being on Violator shout out to Dave Bloody, shout 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:06.080 out to the sky, Dave Scott, I learned how to 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:11.919 market myself. I was doing stuff to prove mom my 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.199 value or that I'm worthy of this to Chris, I 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.560 was on the shelf. No before I was on the shelf, 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:21.240 I was on Violator. And the thing a lot of 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.840 young artists got to realize is when you get signed, 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.639 you're an investment. So it's not like, Okay, we sound 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.680 you hot, We're putting you right out. They gotta build 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.080 you up and they gotta figure out how they're gonna 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.760 get their money back. So while I was on Violator, 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.520 I've seen artists doing their thing and I and I 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.000 felt like I was suspended in time because she was 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:47.120 signed to violated records. Right, Okay, not not enough. So 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.119 also like the conflict that that was happening to me 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:52.840 when I wasn't with the firm, that slow things up 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.639 because a lot of labels they market you, they piggyback 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.120 off of other things so that that helps with their marketing. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.959 So that they had changed switch lanes. But I believed 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.280 in myself. I knew what I was. I was capable, 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.000 and at the time, bad Boy dominated hip hop because 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.640 he was supposed to be signed a bad Boy, right, 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.239 I wanted I could have signed to bad I mean, 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.200 I can't say I could have, but Puffy. When I 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.040 Puffy Damn Show, I was in Puffy's office and Puffy 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:23.480 pretty excited. It was me trying to figure the reason. 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.840 The reason I never went back puffis like, you've just 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.240 come back with some songs out of um because somebody, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.399 you know there was like people when our circle was 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.320 like don't don't just chill because that's that's gonna affect 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:40.119 the firm thing. So my loyalty, Yeah, I would have 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:41.960 loved it. I would have signed a Puffy with no lawyer. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:47.960 But Bey was still alive, bro everything. So what I'm saying, 0:19:49.760 --> 0:20:02.600 figure they had my phone, I don't huldup Yo called Mega. 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.520 Now I know, guys, It's okay. Listen, guys, I cut myself, 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.000 Burger's cut me shaving. So this little white thing is 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:14.600 it's it's a little thing. It's a go ahead. So 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:16.760 the only reason I never went back to Bad Boys 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.720 because because of my loyalty. I was told not to 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.159 and I didn't. So let me ask you something because 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:27.520 during that time, it was Steve Stout and it was 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.960 Chris liked you was on the Chris Lady side. Did 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.200 you feel like you ever got caught in between Chris 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.040 lightly and Chris and I'm Steve stout ship because you 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.160 know they had beef on the law. I know that 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.760 I found out out. I didn't really know that. But 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:42.679 when Steve was on your show, he says something about Chris. 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.520 He just listen. When I went back, I just looked 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:49.719 at it. Chris, I wasn't taste that was not tasteful. Um, 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.320 and hold on before you say something. I'm gonna say this. 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:59.480 I owed you, Mike Geronimo and a z apology because 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.800 I still wann't. Let's Steve Stout say whatever he wanted 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.399 to say, but I'm supposed to check him. At that time. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.760 I wasn't skilled. I wasn't enough to stop and be articulate, 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.080 and I was wanting to iron out me and his 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.800 ship so much that I let that ship go about 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.040 my head. But I always said something that I regret. 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.760 You a Zy and my Gerano should have said something, 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.080 but like I said, but let's not let me get 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.280 back to the original question, because what I found out 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.800 later on in life was Steve and Chris had a 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:37.920 quiet be they saw each other and they were very cordial, 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.120 very respectful. I ain't threw me off because we from 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:46.440 we gotta be, We're not with you. Did you ever 0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:49.520 feel like you was caught in between that I was confused? 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:53.600 I thought they was cool. Yes, but it's like Chris 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.240 wanted to sign me, and then Steve was like at 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.159 one point Stevid like, don't sign the deal. I have 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.639 certain such for you a certain day, Like yeah, okay. 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.240 So I'm like all right, So it didn't happen. See 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.440 the things. I'm sorry, I'm going on over the place. 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.240 You were like the number one thing to sign, like 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.280 you would like, for lack of a better turn, had 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.880 the biggest bus. You had the biggest bu the biggest, 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:25.600 biggest bus. So I know they played politics with you, 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.880 like I know that you remember. You don't remember. I remember. 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:35.560 I remember. I'm talking to you. I remember almost had 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:40.520 the penalty deal. Yo, I don't lie. Listen, everybody wanted 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.919 to sign Mecca, Like it was like, I'm glad I 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:53.800 didn't take the South, Salute to I'm Neil Levine, and 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.000 salute to y'all because I put that work out. We did. 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:57.800 But um yeah, I had the big bus. I had 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:02.199 dumb mad labels want in the sign me. Um, I 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.240 just I went with um. I went with the most money, 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.200 which is not the best, not the best thing. You 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.000 want to go with the people that's gonna cater to you. 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:12.560 So signed as the depth Jam was like signing to them, 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:18.119 to the Yankees, like you might not. So it was 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:21.399 like I signed there because I grew up on for 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:23.840 l L and Slick Wreck and Public Enemy. I signed 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.439 it for vis. This was Leo, like Kevin Lows came 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.600 a little after, but um yeah, Leo was there. Um 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:33.800 I learned a lot from Leo. People say a lot 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:35.600 of things about Leo, but I'm gonna tell you one thing. 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:37.840 He's one of my favorite CEO. I learned a lot 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.159 from Leo, So I can't front of that man from 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:46.480 him too. So now let's get straight to it. So 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:50.320 Steve Stout, I wanted to. I wanted to understand what 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.560 he was doing. Steve Stout came on here and he 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.920 said why because now I shouted out Mega, he was 0:23:55.960 --> 0:24:03.560 supposed to just be on Mr Say and God bless Steve, 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:05.439 because I don't want to see them. Like, but a 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:09.320 lot of people don't know my wife. I'm about to say, 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:15.639 people want some eighth the only but a lot of 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.720 people don't know. And I'm not saying this because you're here. 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:23.720 I say this when you're not here. One of the biggest, 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.640 one of the illest mcs coming out of Queens was you. 0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.399 Probably before I heard the Naas and now that I've 0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:33.600 talked about the street Ship, I heard of you. They 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:37.119 was always saying there's a dude from a Queensbridge called Mega. 0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:41.439 He's the next Guy's the next guy. So when I 0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:44.920 did rip back and I heard Stop say that, it 0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:49.760 didn't disturb me because he's from Queens so he had 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:54.280 to hear the same rumor as I heard. Maybe not, 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.639 maybe not because he's from a different part of Queens 0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.640 and he's yeah, he he didn't do his research and 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:04.000 and and sometimes when you're successful like he is, you 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:09.560 only hear what you want to hear. That's so the 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.919 way I've seen it. He didn't believe in me, and 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:15.600 he didn't he didn't do his research enough because um, 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:18.639 like you said before I went to jail. I was 0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:25.080 buzzing me before I heard about Nash. And there was 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.760 a time when um, Molly Marl was like Dr Dre 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.000 of the East Coast. You know what I'm saying. He 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.840 just brought else career back in the early nine He's 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.160 working with TLC and this one and that were big 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:41.120 people and he wasn't. He was busy, so like there 0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.040 was no artist in Queery that called his attention, so 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.840 he heard everybody. So I was on the street still 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:52.520 and I think I told you before. There's a woman 0:25:52.600 --> 0:26:01.160 named Mary Stevens from Queensbridge and she uh got word 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:04.439 to somebody Hank Hank Carter who knew Molly, and she 0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.359 was like, I want Marlon to hear his music because 0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.840 this guy is good. You know you just called Morty 0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:17.560 Mam Mally Molly. Yeah, I like that. So Molly got winded. 0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.080 One of my joints. I had a song called Sex, Drugs, 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.280 Bitches of Money and Molly heard it and next thing 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:24.639 you know, I got the call that it was like, 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:28.359 Molly want you t j Ellis was my producer at first. 0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.200 So me and Ellis is going to Molly Mar's house 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:40.919 recording and the unfortunates nas rhyming at that time, not now. Um. Actually, um, 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:47.400 this is history right now when um LoVa the Barbecuelva 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:51.680 the barbecue and all that was was out already wow. Um, 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:53.800 but I still was buzzing now now just doing this 0:26:53.840 --> 0:26:56.880 thing too. But I was buzzing. And the funny thing 0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:00.840 is call the case. Yeah, I called the case. But 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:04.440 the funny thing is, um, even when um, when I 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:07.879 was playing my ship, I always, even as an artist, 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:11.840 I always try to look out for people that was 0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.560 my people. Like we went to Brooklyn Queen's Day, remember 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:21.840 first met Park and we got on the stage. Yeah, 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:23.679 I feel like here I was performing. I feel like 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:25.919 he had a bucket on Wack and Ellie I don't remember. 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:31.840 I know tras Is Roman and YEAHMI said give Mega 0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:37.040 to mike. YEAHMI jumped on the stage. Yeah, And and 0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:43.600 got the mike and I jumped on the stage and 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:47.840 I said it was NICs. Now. I jumped on the 0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:51.639 stage and I did my verse from a song called 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.159 set It Off that was one one of the Poets albums. 0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:56.600 And um, now I did this verse from lobb Of 0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:00.000 to Barbecue. So I wasn't even on and I still 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.200 was showing love. That's how he was. You know what 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.760 I'm saying. So I opened up for Arab and rock 0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:08.359 him at the Apollo. So all this stuff, Steve need 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:10.400 to chill because he didn't. He didn't do his research. 0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.800 He didn't like me. He took things personal, even with 0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:17.440 the he took things personal. Like you know what I think, 0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:19.640 mag I'm sorry to cut you off. This is I'm 0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:22.080 not I'm not defending him, but what I think was 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:25.080 he was invested in NAS and NAS that's it. Anything 0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:29.680 came around or disputed Nis. He just didn't want to 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:32.440 do that. You know. In the same show he told 0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:34.440 me he hated on me to my face. He said, 0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:36.600 I thought you ain't go hard nor he said that 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:39.760 to my face. So well, I'm gonna show you just 0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:46.680 how complex Magazine interview with Steve Stout. There was an 0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:49.480 interview with Cormega saying you. There was an interview with 0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:51.120 car Mega was saying that you had a role in 0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:54.200 him being kicked out the firm. He Steve, he was 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.880 never in the firm. Man, He should have never been 0:28:56.880 --> 0:29:01.760 in the firm. Believe me, he wasn't. Truly didn't get 0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:09.880 along cold tom Out. Tom Out even when NAS was 0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.840 shouting them on one Love, they weren't cool. That was cool. 0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:15.160 He just got out of jail. It took him a 0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:17.920 while to get acclimated to what was going on. Tim out, 0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:20.080 let me fix this right now. First of all, one 0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:22.080 Love came out, Steve, you wasn't even in the picture. 0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:24.920 You was not Nas manager until it was written. When 0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.440 we Love came out. I was in jail when it was. 0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:31.400 I was there when Nas y'all together that. Yes, yes, 0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.040 Steve wasn't around. I was there when Nas met Steve's 0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:36.760 so right now you're giving your person that you was there. 0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:45.000 You wasn't even when Nas was shouting the mount on 0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:47.400 one Love. They weren't cool. That was cool. He just 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.080 got out jail. No, I didn't get out of jail. 0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:51.440 I was in jail, said one love, One Love at 0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.600 the term of been jail man. People write in jail. 0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.240 When I was writing Nas and jails would write one 0:29:56.320 --> 0:30:00.880 Love at the end of my letter. Okay, now should 0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:03.720 I continue? That was cool. He just got out of jail. 0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:05.360 It took him a while to get acclimated to what 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:09.960 was going on. In the business sense, he said, In 0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:12.600 the business sense, and his manager at the time. A 0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:16.960 lot of different things times Chris no time out, he said, 0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.320 in a business sense, and his manage at the time, 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.880 a lot of different listened to that. They didn't like Bis. 0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:26.920 Bis wasn't seasoned, he was new. But there goes there 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.920 goes arrogant mega again. I gave somebody from the project 0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:32.920 a chance to be my manager. There goes me showing 0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:37.360 love as usual. So Biz didn't have the savvy business 0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:40.200 savvy of a mar Pitts or a Steve or a Chrish. 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:42.200 But he was somebody from the hood that I was 0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.280 trying to give a chance to. All right, So in 0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.320 the business sense, in the business sense, I owned my 0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:49.800 masters and I owned my publishing. So how I didn't 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:51.720 have a business sence. I've been owing my publics sence 0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:56.600 since I was on death jams. Okay um, A lot 0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.320 of different things. But here's this, he's act really a 0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:05.240 really good guy, does it? Steven? How the funk are 0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:10.680 you belligerent and a really good guy? That's inconsistent? You 0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:17.400 can't be belligerent and be a really good guy. A 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:21.200 little breakdown, time out. But he felt like NAS owed 0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.640 him too much and felt like he was too important. 0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.440 Yo on my mother's grave. You can call nas. You 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:29.120 can ask no in your private life, on your p 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:31.760 or any time. I've never asked NOAs for a penny. 0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:34.880 Now it's not even the only famous dude from Queen Bridge. 0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:38.240 I never asked Molly Marl or anything. I never asked 0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:45.640 Shan Craig, Chantey, Craig Nature Cape, nor Mark Deep, Louis, 0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:48.840 Louis de Valve round test everybody from the Bridge and 0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:50.840 say you even your man used to say that Megan, 0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:53.560 don't ask no wife for ship right now? So how 0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.120 so so so this is a guy who takes things 0:31:56.160 --> 0:32:00.160 too personal. You can't mix business with personal. So when 0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:01.920 he wants to compete with Chris, like that's the different 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:06.800 between Chris and Steve Christine Kristin let that personal intervene 0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:10.800 with the business. So when you sing, I had to 0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:13.480 get acclimated, had to get aclimated the street. I was 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:15.960 just out of jail. You can't tell somebody that's first 0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:18.080 out of jail some of the things that you were 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.520 saying to me as a man. Now, with all of 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:25.640 this being said, um I brought I showed this, I 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:29.160 read this to show you the inconsistency. And so that 0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:30.920 so the next question was so even when he was 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:32.960 on the firm of action, he wasn't actually part of 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.400 the firm. They asked him that because they're like obviously shocked, 0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:38.800 and he's like, well he was at the time. You 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:42.720 just contradicted yoursel first statement said he never was. He 0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.360 said that idea this surround him, and he just bunked 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:48.680 out right. He said that projects should have been fantastic. 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:50.760 I have arguments all the time with Jay and Park. 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:54.480 You're bouncing. You deflected from the question. So my thing 0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:59.520 is this, where did I bug all that? Where did 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.880 I bug out? Is I didn't sign to you? Yeah, 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.800 probably because any anything other than that, I didn't bark 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.080 out and you understand that though you understand that, but 0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:12.160 you said you probably you nas man, he managed his 0:33:12.320 --> 0:33:15.320 nas You come home, you get the biggest deal with 0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.840 his enemy that we learned later. I didn't know that's 0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.240 the enemy, and that's not my business. It's true, but 0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:23.400 I just came home. I just came home from But 0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:25.360 you see where he's coming from. Though I don't see 0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.520 where he's coming because he because because no, I'm the 0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:30.400 type of dude now that you see before you didn't 0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.040 know me like you know me now, And that's the thing. 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:33.640 A lot of people don't know that. You know me 0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.720 better now. You could talk to me about anything, but 0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:38.360 what I'm trying to say. If you told me that, 0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:39.680 all I'm trying to say is trying to see it 0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.200 from his angle and his angle, He's probably like, Yo, 0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:47.040 what Mega is one of this? This this is a 0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:50.600 mythical creature, right, this guy has so much buzz and 0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:54.040 he's nas man. So he probably looked at it like, 0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:57.600 you're supposed to sign with me, and you signed to 0:33:57.720 --> 0:34:03.080 Chris even though it's violent records. I'm just trying to 0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:06.000 give you steve to it. I think he might have 0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:09.920 took a fence to it. He listened to that afterwards. 0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:14.560 Just how this fucking regulation game. I'm not good with Spike. 0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:19.120 I'm not good with Spike. Like I'm very transparent, Like 0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:20.840 you know that I'm gonna take a person if I 0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:26.360 get upset about Son, Yo, Son, I moved honorably. Even 0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:28.320 people that don't funk with me, be like, yo, Megan's 0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:31.239 a loyal duel. Megan's a solid dude, straight up. You 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:35.360 know that. You know people from the street, Yo, we 0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:37.759 never had but you see that's where Steves could have 0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.600 been coming from he was doing too much stuff to 0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:45.280 to to win my my my affiliation with him. Yo, 0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:50.120 they raised me off a song a lot of familiar. 0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:52.040 I was a lot of familiar, the regional version. Then 0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:55.120 I got raised offit, you know what I'm saying. Or 0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:58.440 I go to a if there's if there's a show. 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.680 There was a show one time and there's a bunch 0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:05.000 of people from the hood Queensbridge there, so I'm on 0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:06.759 thet We're all on the line. We're getting in the show. 0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.279 So I'm last. I stand last because I'm an artist. 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:11.839 I'm mega. So y'all go in. I'm telling the guy 0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.120 you let them go because I'm gonna get in. And 0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:18.279 it's at Nassaw Collins Sam So there's a bunch of 0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:21.759 tickets for all of us. So the tickets Steve gave me. 0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:25.080 I'm thinking, I'm good. Everybody got tickets. So he's reading 0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:27.240 regular people from the hood, you know some of these people. 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.440 So he's like, I just looking at the tickets. So 0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:32.200 he's pointing, like, all right, your cities over there, like Filly, 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:37.120 don't tell me your tickets up there people, y'all. So 0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:39.600 I'm like, yo, he was playing a lot of games 0:35:39.600 --> 0:35:44.200 like that, but that you know, if you, if me 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:47.880 and Steve would have really had dialogue, I think we 0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:49.880 could have had to understand. But we didn't have the dialogue. 0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:51.359 I think me and you went through the same thing 0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.600 with him. This is the reason why I'm gonna actually 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:55.560 like trying to wrap for him a little bit, is 0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:59.000 because I feel like we chose the other side. We 0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:03.040 were it was Chris is boys. You understand like we were, 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:06.480 We would were. You were violator, whether you look at 0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:08.759 it like that or not. I was violator. And later 0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:11.040 on in life, after him coming on the show and 0:36:11.200 --> 0:36:13.520 him saying, you know, because you guys with quests and 0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:16.640 he's saying all that, it hit me later that I 0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.360 was in the middle of a war that I didn't know. 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.520 I was in time out. This is why money, This 0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:25.200 is why money doesn't make you happyer. Money isn't everything, 0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:28.960 because first of all, how long is Crispin dead? A minute? Right? 0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:32.080 How long is he How long does these interactions happened? 0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:35.960 Me signing with with with with violating was n six, 0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:40.480 So you mean in eighteen, no want that in seventeen? 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:44.839 How many years later like this, you're a millionaire right now. 0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:48.279 You you got a good life. Let all that ship go. 0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:49.920 I let go. You know, I don't have no beef 0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:52.000 with nobody no more. I don't even got beef for 0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:54.360 I don't got beef with Steve. I don't got no 0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:57.280 problem with Steve. I respect Steve. You know what I'm saying. 0:36:57.560 --> 0:36:59.640 Whatever happened in the past, that's the past. You know, 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:02.600 people that live in people that live in the past 0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:06.440 don't have no real estate in the present. I think 0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:12.200 it makes a noise of that continue. So you do 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:14.160 know your legend, They're gonna have to talk about you. 0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:17.040 The guy to talk about you, maga. I I feel 0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.640 like sometimes you humble yourself and feel like people shopping, 0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:22.960 But that's that You're part of hip hop history. They're 0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:25.440 gonna bring you off every fucking time. You see that 0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:27.520 word you just use and that you follow me on 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.920 social media said you be in my shows. That's the 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:33.400 word more people used than the arrogant Megan's man, humble. 0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:37.399 I didn't even know that about myself. I didn't even 0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.719 I just thought I was quiet, man. People be like 0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:43.480 I do regular stuff that's regular to me like, but 0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:50.520 fans find it, they find it to be bigger than 0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:52.399 normal because a lot of artists don't do the things 0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:54.920 I do. I've been talking to fans on social I've 0:37:54.920 --> 0:38:01.240 been on social media for what overfit over fifteen years. 0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:04.080 I mean I've been on the internet before, over fifteen years. 0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:07.080 I was doing stuff before people was doing it. I 0:38:07.120 --> 0:38:09.160 was on the internet. I don't even know the year, 0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:11.960 but you know this stuff like I interact with my 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:14.600 fans after the shows. You've been at shows, I talked 0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:18.120 to them, I was signed the autographs like I'm I'm 0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:20.279 the same the same way I am now, I've been 0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:24.359 like that. It's just that a lot of people didn't 0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:27.480 know that they had their perceptions. So the scariest thing 0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:30.640 about this whole conversation that we're just having is that 0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:33.879 a lot of the narratives on me were created by 0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:37.040 other people, not even by my own actions. And that's 0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:38.640 the funk up thing. And that's why I was like 0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.479 funk the industry, because it's like people was creating these things. 0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:43.560 I don't even like the party. It's like he wanted 0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:45.000 to be an alarmed like the party. Today. I have 0:38:45.000 --> 0:38:48.280 a sick Jes Luise, You've got jay Z and pood 0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:53.080 you bro, there's five as a sick fifty dollars to sip. 0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:56.480 Please have one sick goddamnit, geez, Louise, I'm please, come on, man, 0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:01.880 come on, let's do it. Let's come on. What's it 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:11.080 you think about that? But wasn't this question? God? Because listen, 0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:17.000 I said on Drink Champs with Trash, I said, I 0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:22.080 think Mega became even batter person when you took your shahda. 0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:27.680 I attribute that to Islam at my wrong, I think 0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:32.080 where's my phone? That you got more spec I gotta know. 0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:38.279 I want to know that that I think. I think 0:39:38.320 --> 0:39:40.600 you're right, and I think you're wrong. I'm like, I 0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:43.480 respect this, I think you're right. Take it from wrong first. 0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:47.319 I think you're wrong because you feel like somebody brought 0:39:47.320 --> 0:39:49.560 this out recently. There's like, yo, i've seen anything with 0:39:49.600 --> 0:39:51.920 nor like he's like you've been like that, Like you 0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:56.880 gotta understand, Like Queen Fridge, you was a part of 0:39:56.880 --> 0:40:01.160 that of the movement. Yes I'm not, but I I 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:05.160 can't take that. It's part of that movement. So you 0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:08.680 noticed just from you being out there, there's different movements 0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:13.239 and the people stick today sat the people stick today set. 0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:20.200 Sometimes rappers have issues with each other. It don't even 0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:22.960 because of the rappers, because of other people people involved. 0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:26.680 So I think you really never me and you was cordiable. 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.600 We never really got to know each other. So if 0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:31.960 you were fed a certain thing, if I'm acquired dude 0:40:32.000 --> 0:40:33.680 and you see me posted up and like you said, 0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:35.839 I'm looking a certain way, you might look like, oh, 0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:39.040 just dude thinking. But if you know me, I've been 0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:41.920 think about it. I took the whole queen for the 0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:44.319 six Flags. I wasn't Muslim when I did that. I 0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.759 was paying for basketball to this for women. I wasn't 0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.440 Muslim when I did that. I put bills on it 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:53.920 from the project. He never managed nobody. I had superstar 0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:55.960 Man and just wanted to manage me. I wasn't Muslim 0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:58.120 when I did that, Like I did a lot for 0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:00.799 a lot of people. I wasn't Muslim, and I did 0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:03.680 that even in the street. You never heard like I 0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:07.239 never abused my power. I used to. I always just 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:09.799 trying to make peace, you know what I'm saying. But 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:13.640 people don't talk about that. So it's like I think, Um, 0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:16.040 I think you never really got to know me. People 0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:20.719 don't know like like that, not meeen we ce bridge. 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.160 We stay the creeze bridges. It was the only two rapport, 0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:28.680 but we was. It was good. So the only two 0:41:28.760 --> 0:41:32.759 raptors and mother whole fucking thing. I think after that 0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:37.040 we really started having Before we just had peace and 0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:40.040 all of that. And back in the days, I didn't 0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:43.440 know where you stood. Because I keep it real. There 0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:46.800 was times when we had a mutual I'm associated what 0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:50.560 you want and he would be like, yeah, no, he said, 0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.640 like like it almost made it feel like me you 0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.759 was me and you was competition, but we wasn't competition 0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:01.239 or like like um yeah, but um because I want 0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:03.600 the trash said that. Trash said, or you're a mega 0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:09.160 is cool. I thin't gonna know for that too. So 0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:12.800 so and the crazy thing was it wasn't that. I 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:14.799 don't think he was saying that. What I think he 0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:16.920 was saying was I never see y'all hung out together. 0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:20.000 I think because we didn't. When we would hung out, 0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:24.080 we wouldn't like it's not it's not, he's nothing you 0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:26.160 gotta see, like, I've never seen him and you hang 0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:30.359 out together. So so my thing is this, I'll get 0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:35.400 to that in a minute. So when me and you 0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:38.279 got cool, we did something we never did in the pass, 0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:40.120 like I might see you at a show and we're 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:42.279 standing at each other. What up? What's good? You got 0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:44.239 your people? I got my people were good, you know 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.799 what I'm saying. But it's wouldn't write you to show 0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:48.200 you and write you the shows. You come out with 0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:49.799 my guests, I come out of your guess, and then 0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:51.920 it's like you're fucking with each other, but then there's 0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:55.759 always somebody in between that that U yo. Yeah no, 0:42:55.920 --> 0:42:58.080 he said dish. Somebody told me you didn't like me, 0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:00.879 so so so listen. So the son said, y'all hate 0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.680 each other. For one, that's an exaggeration because hate is 0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:06.320 a strong word. So as a man, did me and 0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.680 you ever stop each other's money? Did we ever try 0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:10.560 to go at each other's lady? Did we ever had 0:43:10.640 --> 0:43:13.279 physical conflict? So? Why the funk would I hate you? 0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:16.920 It was always other people never hated you. So as 0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:18.840 far as the light part, I didn't know if I 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:20.719 should like you because I'm here and like you said this, 0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:25.520 so I'm like what it's like. But it's like, damn, 0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:29.000 I'm trying to figure Norri out because somebody to say something. 0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:33.799 But then Noria showed me love that the crazy ship. 0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.160 It was the same thing back for me. People would 0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:38.040 you know what it was? I think people just didn't 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.840 want us to be cool Like I think, Bro, you 0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:43.320 gotta understand, I want to against Queensbridge. I want to 0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:46.960 gainst my own people to yo, don't you're not jumping him. 0:43:47.440 --> 0:43:50.439 That's how we know. So ship like that trash don't 0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:55.560 know because he wasn't dead. So and then Yo, you're 0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:59.080 doing Clue Show. You invited me to Clue Show. See 0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:01.960 ship like that? Or you did your video. I'm in 0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:06.000 the video in the starring rock in ordem you supposed 0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:08.040 to run some stars and so I'm like, yo, so 0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:11.040 it's like okay for somebody that don't like me this 0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:13.279 dude and showing a lot of love, I feel like 0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:15.360 I feel like they did. They played us, So I 0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:17.720 think so so like I said, and I thought to myself, reasons, 0:44:17.760 --> 0:44:20.080 I said, you know what, Like, think about how many 0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:21.839 people we knew that as dead and you'd be like, damn, 0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:24.480 he died over some bullshit or somebody that's in jail 0:44:24.640 --> 0:44:26.719 and you'd be like, damn, hit Joe some bullshit. So 0:44:26.719 --> 0:44:29.720 you gotta think about that with relationships, like why didn't 0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:32.719 I like nor Rea? But why didn't like because somebody said, no, 0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:35.319 you don't like me. I gotta I gotta me. Don't 0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:37.640 like me because of that exactly because you feel I 0:44:37.880 --> 0:44:41.400 didn't get defensive. So it's like every true, it's like 0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:43.319 I did the same thing. I never had to get you. 0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:51.040 I never Let's get straight into it. So you're drag 0:44:51.320 --> 0:44:55.799 y'all got to like weirdest. I don't know what it is, 0:44:56.200 --> 0:44:59.040 and you you hit me and you said, yo, why 0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:02.480 would you ask trash about me? And the thing is, 0:45:02.560 --> 0:45:05.600 I didn't know where y'all stood as a real human, 0:45:07.000 --> 0:45:09.680 and we didn't speak about it or camera or on 0:45:09.800 --> 0:45:13.080 camera trash. So I need to hear your side of 0:45:13.080 --> 0:45:17.480 the story. I'm gonna say this. What is he right now? 0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:21.640 Is he? Is he right? What is he his brother? 0:45:21.840 --> 0:45:24.279 What is he like? Is he fopper? Saying? What is he? 0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:27.760 What's his? What is he right now? I'm not sure? Okay, 0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:30.360 I think he's fopped because all right, so all right, 0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:33.439 if he's Fopper center on that show that you did, 0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:39.960 he said, yeah, he do you know what kills me 0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:46.719 about you? Omega? Y'all used to hate each other. So 0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:53.080 and then you said I get Megan. Now he said, 0:45:53.560 --> 0:45:56.919 you get him down? Does he get you? That was said? 0:45:56.960 --> 0:45:59.880 That was a funk tongue, that was what that was 0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:04.960 forked tongue. I've never heard this expression. This sounds like 0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:09.720 thank you. Right, So I'm like, wow, that's like somebody 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:13.160 slotting slotting. That's saying that even if I like you, 0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:16.560 like you really don't like me that he's saying, dude, 0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:20.360 does he get you? So? And then you said to me, 0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:23.360 Megan's a better person since he became Muslim. Then he said, 0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:25.640 I've been on sha how I've been on all those 0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:28.279 schools of thoughts. I'm just saying I'm the same niggat all. 0:46:28.760 --> 0:46:35.520 So my thing is, this tragedy is a competitive dude, 0:46:36.239 --> 0:46:39.319 and you know this, He's always been and he still is. 0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:42.000 And this ain't the point in life. You're supposed to 0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:45.960 be chilling right now. So if you just said Megan's 0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:48.759 a better person since he became Muslim, why you can't 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:50.520 just be proud of me? Why you can't just be 0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:55.400 proud at Mega being a better person? Right? Then he says, uh, 0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:57.399 I've been on sha howd I've been on all those 0:46:57.400 --> 0:47:00.040 trains of thought? As if those things are behind you 0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:02.399 now that those that make you a better So now 0:47:02.440 --> 0:47:08.719 if you're righteous, right, right? I had a righteous down. 0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:12.920 This is so articulate. How could one claim to be 0:47:13.040 --> 0:47:17.120 righteous and not have knowledge, wisdom and understanding of two 0:47:17.160 --> 0:47:20.359 men having peace? When the very first word you say 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:25.279 to a brother or sister is peace, whether it's God 0:47:25.360 --> 0:47:29.240 or Earth, you say peace to them peace. So knowledge yourself. 0:47:29.880 --> 0:47:33.240 It's just information if not applied in your ways and actions. 0:47:34.440 --> 0:47:40.600 So if he's seen that me and you were not 0:47:40.719 --> 0:47:44.440 cool back in the days, and that's it something to 0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:49.719 be celebrated, not questions, I understand. So I made a 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:53.799 mental old of that, and then I said, any man 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:57.600 that truly understands the merits of peace would commend those 0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:01.719 who find it, unless unless it's something he himself has 0:48:01.800 --> 0:48:10.839 yet to find, progression is classes damn keep going. Any 0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:14.320 man that truly understands the merits of peace with commendos 0:48:14.400 --> 0:48:17.640 who find it, unless it's something he himself has yet 0:48:17.680 --> 0:48:21.800 to find. Progression is far and ground for those content 0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:26.960 with standing and regression. Piece is a beautiful thing. That's 0:48:27.000 --> 0:48:30.359 why it's noticeable when a person is at peace, they 0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:34.600 move different, and lack of peace leaves you vulnerable to turmoil, 0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:39.560 and that too is noticeable. Well, I attribute that I'm 0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:42.759 being being honest with you because, like I said, we 0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:44.200 didn't know each other. But we didnt know each other, 0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:47.239 but since if i'd have been the shata that that, 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.840 I get that. But the thing is, I'll be feeling 0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:53.719 like you at peace now you know what it was 0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:57.000 Back then, I just felt like I felt like we 0:48:57.000 --> 0:49:02.560 were at war period rappers. We was always on guard exactly. 0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:05.640 But I just felt like in these recent years be 0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:09.040 seeing you, You've just been acquiring that same exact ship 0:49:09.160 --> 0:49:11.239 you said that you've been you, You've been you come 0:49:11.280 --> 0:49:13.400 across like as a piece of First I'll break that 0:49:13.400 --> 0:49:15.719 down to you two things. It's it's um. It's a 0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:18.920 few things that make me. There's a few things that 0:49:19.000 --> 0:49:25.040 make me um at peace. Um. Being Muslim does bring 0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:30.959 you peace, um, if you if you're seeking it, and 0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.640 somebody like us where we came from, we gotta seek 0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:37.879 peace because we see the other side so much like yo, 0:49:38.000 --> 0:49:41.319 your mom is still alive. Right, So it's like that's yo, bro, 0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:45.239 I don't got that. So on your worst days, let's 0:49:45.280 --> 0:49:47.879 just say you fell off, you had nothing you could go, 0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:50.560 you could go and get that hug from mom. You 0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:54.000 could go get that that home cooked mill, that conversation 0:49:54.880 --> 0:49:56.680 my mom wasn't My mom never got to see me 0:49:56.719 --> 0:49:59.799 typing my shoelaces, never got to see me graduate from kindergarten, 0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:02.759 never got to see me riding a bike. So so 0:50:02.960 --> 0:50:06.080 it's people like you that I look at y'all like 0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:09.839 y'all blessed to have that. So the Muslim thing is 0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:11.799 like you have to carry yourself in a a certain way 0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:13.759 as a Muslim. It's a thing called a dad too. 0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:19.000 It's a respect that you show others and and it's like, um, 0:50:19.080 --> 0:50:22.759 the energy you put out is is kind of like 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:26.920 the energy that you want to receive. Now as a Muslim, 0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:29.480 I try to set example or try to lead by 0:50:29.520 --> 0:50:31.920 example with my ways in my action. That's why I 0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:35.560 try not to be inconsistent. And that's why, um, I 0:50:35.719 --> 0:50:39.200 do everything well through it out. Um. The reason I 0:50:39.239 --> 0:50:42.080 want pieces because I've never had it. It's just like 0:50:42.080 --> 0:50:44.880 when you pull, you want money, when you cold, you 0:50:44.960 --> 0:50:54.640 want warmth, Allen, It's like Marcus Gary times two. That's all. 0:50:54.800 --> 0:50:58.080 That's all. I'm sorry. I spoke to one of my friends. 0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:01.919 He's not from the hood. Um, he's a white guy. 0:51:02.040 --> 0:51:05.160 He was raising New England. Comes from a good family 0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:08.799 and he's seen He said, yo, Mega, you've been more 0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:13.399 funerals than than some then my grandfather. You know, people 0:51:13.400 --> 0:51:15.680 in the eighties and you know, get to a certain age. 0:51:15.920 --> 0:51:19.319 Your grandfather's your grandpather. They don't have some funds. It's 0:51:19.360 --> 0:51:22.600 like when you look at my life since you knew me, 0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:25.920 it's a gym between knowing somebody being close to somebody. 0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:28.120 Look at the people that died from Queen per Downstoro 0:51:28.480 --> 0:51:32.080 that was close, not not I with me like Draws 0:51:32.360 --> 0:51:37.400 was close with me. Spake Pete like you know, it 0:51:37.480 --> 0:51:41.399 wasn't people. I wasn't with these people, you know, saying 0:51:41.400 --> 0:51:43.799 I lost so many people. My cousin Ogi died. You 0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:45.839 know what's the crazy ship? Man? I'm gonna tell you something. 0:51:48.440 --> 0:51:51.440 I had never knew best friends shoot at each other 0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:57.000 until I went to Queensbriog. Yeah, yeah, I see crazy 0:51:57.080 --> 0:52:00.600 yet married with But Queen bed are different. Sometimes I 0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:05.120 went one week it was Lake and Draws in the 0:52:05.320 --> 0:52:09.520 terror down together. And the next week they said you 0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:12.560 can't go there, and I said why and they said 0:52:12.840 --> 0:52:15.200 Lake and Draws. Zach wall Oh, he was going to 0:52:15.239 --> 0:52:16.959 queen you back there, I was like, I was the 0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:19.400 only thing. I can't even shot mEq shot me me. 0:52:19.440 --> 0:52:23.200 There I went and that was the first time I said, damn, 0:52:23.200 --> 0:52:26.399 best friends could become strangers with like the NIS line, 0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:29.080 I've been best friends to become strangers. I remember that 0:52:29.160 --> 0:52:32.560 like it was yesterday. I remember a lake and Draws 0:52:32.640 --> 0:52:35.600 being best friends. And when I came back and I 0:52:35.640 --> 0:52:39.160 asked for them together, it was like it was taboo 0:52:39.160 --> 0:52:40.480 to actually and they're like, what are you talking about? That? 0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.640 Hang LIKEE Like I was like, I saw that. I 0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:48.000 saw this in my own eyes. That's my first life lesson, dad. 0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:52.399 You can be best friends and enemies the fucking very 0:52:52.480 --> 0:52:54.440 next day. Because that's how it seemed like to me. 0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.919 And that's and that's why Recipes Draws took many years 0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:02.680 to heal from Draws d um. And that's why I 0:53:02.760 --> 0:53:05.640 seek peace, and that's why I think I'm sorry. Can 0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:07.200 you say that again? You said it took years for you. 0:53:07.360 --> 0:53:11.240 It took me years to recover from Drawers being gone. 0:53:11.960 --> 0:53:14.200 It wasn't an easy loss for me, is it Okay? 0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:18.560 We talked about the situation Draws, because I'll tell you 0:53:18.600 --> 0:53:20.319 and you could tell me if you want to or 0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:24.480 this part out because this this hurt me too. The 0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:27.920 fact that it was like an eighteen year old. I 0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:29.640 don't think it was. No, I don't think he's eighteen. 0:53:30.000 --> 0:53:32.640 The dude who killed him, he's not. He's older than that, 0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:37.320 all right, But it's still it's still sad because because 0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:39.280 it is that, like the O G is not respecting 0:53:39.280 --> 0:53:42.720 that the young culture. Is that us being old sometimes? No, no, no, 0:53:43.320 --> 0:53:47.000 it's it's it's the I think drawings drus love. I 0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:49.120 don't think nobody wore Queen Gridge on his chest like 0:53:49.200 --> 0:53:52.680 Drawings he did. And I think Bumpy Bumpy is close up. 0:53:52.960 --> 0:53:56.640 He's like close second. Yeah, shout out to Bump. Drawers 0:53:57.200 --> 0:54:01.440 loved the hood so hard, he would defend anybody, and 0:54:01.480 --> 0:54:07.040 I think he was just he just loved the hood. 0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:09.360 The love that he gave should have that that should 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:12.560 have never happened. That ship. I stopped going to queens 0:54:12.560 --> 0:54:15.239 Bridge when George died for like a year, and I 0:54:15.280 --> 0:54:21.480 couldn't even walk by that area because it hurt um. 0:54:21.760 --> 0:54:24.480 She heard me too. Yeah, I don't know even fun 0:54:24.600 --> 0:54:27.320 queens Bridge. That was my man. Like I know Draws, 0:54:27.760 --> 0:54:30.960 I know the other person I know drawers mother, I 0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:34.080 know the other person's mother. I don't know that you 0:54:34.120 --> 0:54:37.359 know what I'm saying. So that's the saddest thing about 0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:40.680 hood beats. And that's why sometimes you gotta like the 0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:44.120 old meat. You know what the problem is. We move 0:54:44.200 --> 0:54:47.759 off ego and pride. Sometimes we get we we have 0:54:47.880 --> 0:54:51.040 spontaneous reactions. It's like you know what I'm saying. And 0:54:51.080 --> 0:54:54.880 it's like I said before, like a gun has to 0:54:54.920 --> 0:54:59.000 be the last resort, not the first response, because you 0:54:59.040 --> 0:55:06.799 can't take that back. I don't know it was. This 0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:10.320 thing is kicking right now. So a lot of times, 0:55:10.600 --> 0:55:13.120 a lot of things that happened in the hood, if 0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:15.400 we had just thought it out, it wouldn't have happened. 0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:22.480 Like my crew, Droves was a good fella. I always 0:55:22.480 --> 0:55:25.120 heard of the good Fellas. Yeah, Droves was a good 0:55:25.120 --> 0:55:33.439 fella and like that. That that across the divide because 0:55:33.480 --> 0:55:36.200 Droves are part of us and forty Busters and good Fellas. 0:55:36.320 --> 0:55:38.480 What was it? What was the difference? Forty buses is 0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:41.400 a different crew forty buss just like that's one of 0:55:41.440 --> 0:55:44.479 the first the forty Busters, like the prototype for us, 0:55:44.520 --> 0:55:47.160 Like you know what I'm saying, Like we we we 0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:49.640 we we respect them. You know what I'm saying. Um, 0:55:50.200 --> 0:55:52.680 the way they moved, they moved like a family, like 0:55:52.719 --> 0:56:00.520 a unit. And basically it was like the protop for us. 0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:02.839 There was a blueprint for us that these people came 0:56:02.840 --> 0:56:09.399 before you and not. And then let's just where's draws from? 0:56:09.400 --> 0:56:11.200 He's from Temp Street or he draws from forty shide 0:56:11.200 --> 0:56:13.120 of Temp Street. Rest in peace to her, to her, 0:56:13.280 --> 0:56:17.440 her brother, he's from Temps Street. So listen, let's just 0:56:17.480 --> 0:56:21.719 give ten seconds of total solids right now because he's 0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:25.120 from Temps Street and let's give some love to my 0:56:25.120 --> 0:56:41.440 brother sattles ready, ten seconds rest in peace? Draws solid Yeah, 0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:44.480 ain't gonna five runs draws on tour with me.

Different 0:56:51.920 --> 0:56:54.320 draws is a different dude. Man, I'm missing even puff. 0:56:54.360 --> 0:57:05.600 No draws us out of it. So all right, we 0:57:05.719 --> 0:57:12.799 get you come home, right. You you're aware that these 0:57:12.800 --> 0:57:14.719 people want to sign. You were aware that these people 0:57:14.760 --> 0:57:18.560 want to sign. How was it initially that you you 0:57:18.680 --> 0:57:21.840 you made that decision to go with Chris or to 0:57:21.360 --> 0:57:25.400 to do this. And I imagine and I sincerely do 0:57:25.520 --> 0:57:29.040 not notice answer. Was NAS helping you in that direction? 0:57:29.680 --> 0:57:35.120 Or was it like when you came home? I came 0:57:35.160 --> 0:57:40.400 home ninety five, I got signed the ninety six. Um, 0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:45.000 when I came home, something was like because just becoming Nas. 0:57:45.040 --> 0:57:49.040 At this point he was already heady, yo, real toy. 0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:50.880 He could have retired after Alematic and you will still 0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:52.840 be mentioned as the greatest, one of the greatest, you know. 0:57:54.040 --> 0:57:58.040 So he was already who he was. Um, when I 0:57:58.120 --> 0:58:00.919 came home, he tried to get me a deal. See 0:58:00.960 --> 0:58:03.120 this is the thing, Chris, I mean, Um, Steve don't know. 0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:06.880 Son tried to give me a deal already. They just didn't. Yeah, 0:58:06.960 --> 0:58:09.000 he tried to give me a deal with Capitol Records 0:58:09.040 --> 0:58:13.680 when you came home. Was even in the picture. But 0:58:13.720 --> 0:58:16.360 they didn't. They didn't. They didn't jump on it. They didn't. 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:23.040 So I said to myself, UM, I just gotta work harder, 0:58:24.440 --> 0:58:26.480 you know what I'm saying. So I started jumping on 0:58:26.600 --> 0:58:30.720 mad mix tapes. I started going to doing ciphers ironic 0:58:30.760 --> 0:58:32.520 we in Miami. I went to how can I be down? 0:58:33.640 --> 0:58:37.439 And I started I d you know what I'm saying. 0:58:38.800 --> 0:58:41.760 I was incited to drop ever I was I was 0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:47.200 in Cipher's killing it. So then people was like, Steve Rifkin, 0:58:47.760 --> 0:58:50.840 Steve Rifkin's brother, I never forget this day because this 0:58:50.960 --> 0:58:55.080 is like keep it real, goals wrong moment. Steve Rifkin's 0:58:55.080 --> 0:58:58.840 brother was like, because the god Biz used to manage 0:58:58.920 --> 0:59:02.000 Noid too, he had annoyed at me at the same time. 0:59:02.600 --> 0:59:07.000 But Nooyd went to Tommy Boy Records and Loud wanted 0:59:07.120 --> 0:59:11.560 NOI because so they were they felt away about that. 0:59:12.000 --> 0:59:16.520 So um, Steve River's brother was like, yellis and we'll 0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:18.960 sign you right now. We just don't want to deal 0:59:19.000 --> 0:59:24.320 with biss. Yeahs had a funny reputation. No no no. 0:59:24.480 --> 0:59:28.920 I guess it was like no not just that because 0:59:29.280 --> 0:59:34.400 it was mad about the noise thing. Yeah, so it's 0:59:34.480 --> 0:59:37.200 like he went he took a noise elsewhere when they 0:59:37.200 --> 0:59:41.080 wanted him to bring noise there. So the guy was 0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:44.520 like basically saying this this dude, right now, you can 0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:50.480 go to you can come Loud so daun m p 0:59:51.160 --> 0:59:53.840 dam and you wouldn't big punt video too. Yeah that 0:59:53.960 --> 0:59:58.880 was a video guy with my guy, so so later 0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:03.360 we'll bring that up. Fun that prodigy. So yeah, so 1:00:03.400 --> 1:00:06.400 obviously I didn't go it aloud, so you regret that, 1:00:06.520 --> 1:00:12.960 or no, it looks like it's definitely yeah. No no, no, 1:00:12.960 --> 1:00:15.640 no no, no, not understand everything. Let me let me 1:00:15.680 --> 1:00:17.760 be real. I think everything in life happens the way 1:00:17.760 --> 1:00:21.560 it's supposed to happen, because sometimes you gotta fall in 1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:23.680 order to learn how to get up, and sometimes you 1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:25.440 gotta go through ship. If I didn't go through the 1:00:25.440 --> 1:00:28.120 things I went through, I would have never been independent 1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:30.680 or whatever, or you know what I'm saying. It's one 1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:32.640 of the best things about you that a lot of 1:00:32.640 --> 1:00:36.360 people don't know. That's how hard it is, how harder 1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:39.520 it is to be independent, and how much you went 1:00:39.720 --> 1:00:42.800 use relentless with it. I say that about you like 1:00:43.200 --> 1:00:46.840 all the time, like I respect how you kept me 1:00:46.880 --> 1:00:50.040 like from land Speed to all these these these and 1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:53.720 you knew who the funk with like you knew who 1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:56.000 the funk was at the right time. And I always 1:00:56.000 --> 1:00:59.080 amired that about you. I always amired your overseas game 1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:02.760 because us it was one point where America just didn't 1:01:02.760 --> 1:01:05.320 want to pay me m And you know what I 1:01:05.360 --> 1:01:10.520 did from myself was the Doodludorf, Germany. I was in Dublin, 1:01:10.880 --> 1:01:14.360 I was in fucking frankfoot Hanburg. I was in fucking 1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:18.920 Amsterdam every fucking other week, and the only person I 1:01:19.000 --> 1:01:22.080 knew that was doing that was you. And I was like, 1:01:22.080 --> 1:01:25.000 he's a hustler because he's doing it. I respected that 1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:27.560 because I knew you're doing exactly the same thing you want. 1:01:27.640 --> 1:01:30.920 You wanted your quota and you ain't wanna come down here. 1:01:31.040 --> 1:01:34.040 That's what I was doing it for. And but but 1:01:35.120 --> 1:01:37.240 how did you see that the future to be independent 1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:40.280 like that to get it, That's a great question. He 1:01:40.360 --> 1:01:43.560 had a journey. Hustle. Hustle is a hustle the way 1:01:43.600 --> 1:01:45.040 I looked at it like this, because you know, most 1:01:45.160 --> 1:01:47.840 artists would have left the amazing dependent and it would 1:01:47.840 --> 1:01:49.760 have been a while before they even got the curse. 1:01:50.560 --> 1:01:53.840 I'm being honest. I'm sorry to defer this curse. I 1:01:53.920 --> 1:01:57.800 hate the independent. It's hard. It's it's hard. It's not glorious. 1:01:57.800 --> 1:02:00.160 I told people that it's not glorious. It's not you're 1:02:00.160 --> 1:02:02.400 not gonna get all the perks everybody else get. But 1:02:02.840 --> 1:02:05.520 if you put in that work, I had a longer 1:02:05.560 --> 1:02:07.320 career than a lot of artists that that that have 1:02:07.560 --> 1:02:09.600 that got more. I'm shining at me or that that 1:02:09.720 --> 1:02:13.320 I was overlooked for certain other artists and now here 1:02:13.400 --> 1:02:17.640 I am on drink Chaps and they can't even get 1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:23.160 on the show. Goddamn. But you started doing the independent 1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:25.920 run right out right out the major. I started doing 1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:27.880 a lot of ship. You did it when it wasn't cool. 1:02:28.640 --> 1:02:33.520 But because a lot of people, a lot of artists 1:02:33.520 --> 1:02:36.600 would leave a major and dwell on it before they 1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:38.840 even start to do anything. A lot of artists that 1:02:39.000 --> 1:02:41.240 instead of taking advantage that you were just on the major, 1:02:41.320 --> 1:02:43.400 the audience doesn't know that, and then just start putting 1:02:43.400 --> 1:02:45.400 out stuff. You can't take back the two million they 1:02:45.400 --> 1:02:48.480 spent on you on exactly. I just gotta go go 1:02:48.600 --> 1:02:52.760 hard from that. A lot of artists that a lot. 1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:54.800 I've seen a lot of artists that were dope, as 1:02:55.160 --> 1:02:57.560 I'm talking about dope, and they get shell and you 1:02:57.680 --> 1:02:59.560 never heard from them again. They don't even wrap them more. 1:02:59.840 --> 1:03:04.960 I I was not gonna let that happen to me. So, um, 1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:07.880 let's go back to Chris Litty. One of the things, 1:03:07.920 --> 1:03:09.520 like I said, Chris Lottie gave me tough love and 1:03:09.520 --> 1:03:11.240 he made me want to prove things to him. One 1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:14.480 of the first things that I did. I was the 1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:18.439 first dude to do a mix tape. Nobody had mix tapes. 1:03:18.440 --> 1:03:21.600 I was like an album the artist mix tape. Nobody 1:03:21.600 --> 1:03:23.960 did that before me. They people don't want to give 1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:25.960 you my credit, but it's out there. The factor is 1:03:25.960 --> 1:03:28.600 out there. Got do it. Look, nobody was doing mix tape. 1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:33.920 I came out that mon Tylaway joint way back. So 1:03:33.920 --> 1:03:36.560 so by the time Survivor Ellis Tour came out, Chris 1:03:36.600 --> 1:03:41.120 Lottie wanted me to go on the tour onyx MX 1:03:41.320 --> 1:03:45.320 on Fire like scortch So I went on that. I 1:03:45.360 --> 1:03:47.640 went on that. I tried to get on the door 1:03:47.760 --> 1:03:51.880 just so you know. Yeah, so I went. I went 1:03:51.960 --> 1:03:54.600 on that tour and I was killing it. You can 1:03:54.640 --> 1:03:56.560 see the foot is online for some of the shows. 1:03:56.920 --> 1:03:59.080 So when we go to places like I mean when 1:03:59.080 --> 1:04:02.080 we first went to Chica, go on Detroit, Apollo, You 1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:05.720 and Foxy and that's when Freeze came out and was 1:04:05.800 --> 1:04:10.560 looking crazy. I've seen that. So we did though we 1:04:10.600 --> 1:04:13.040 did the uh we did this survival It was tour. 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:16.560 I went across the country with no album out, with 1:04:16.680 --> 1:04:19.320 no single out, but people knew the words to my 1:04:19.400 --> 1:04:24.040 songs from that mixtape. So when I go to Chicago, 1:04:24.720 --> 1:04:26.880 I keep it real. I probably told you this before. 1:04:26.880 --> 1:04:29.640 When I went to Chicago, I was like, Chicago and Detroit, 1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:31.720 I'm gonna say I'm sick because I don't want to perform. 1:04:31.760 --> 1:04:33.560 I was scared. I was like, cause I don't got nothing. 1:04:33.560 --> 1:04:35.320 Now these people are not gonna know me, They're gonna 1:04:35.320 --> 1:04:38.200 probably boom me. I was scared, and then I said, 1:04:38.560 --> 1:04:41.000 I'm just gonna do it. I got on stage in Chicago, 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:43.800 I probably got one of the I probably got the 1:04:43.840 --> 1:04:47.760 second ladd of emotion of ovation at night, and I'm like, wow. 1:04:47.840 --> 1:04:52.000 So we go to Detroit. I'm getting love too. So 1:04:52.320 --> 1:04:54.360 oh yeah. So I'm like, people like, I got your album. 1:04:54.360 --> 1:04:55.680 I'm like, we're just talking about and they showed me 1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:57.800 in the mixtape. They looked at my mixtape like it 1:04:57.880 --> 1:04:59.920 was an album. That's how I got big in Lon 1:05:00.040 --> 1:05:03.960 then too. But also because deaf jams. Back in the days, 1:05:04.400 --> 1:05:06.720 record companies you probably noticed because you was a DJ, 1:05:07.440 --> 1:05:10.080 they would send your music out. Sometimes they would send 1:05:10.080 --> 1:05:12.320 your whole album. I send dad tapes. I got mad 1:05:12.400 --> 1:05:15.680 Dad tapes of Cormega Dad tapes. They would send your 1:05:15.760 --> 1:05:17.800 music and there was sometimes overseas they would give you 1:05:17.800 --> 1:05:20.200 them your whole album, because they gave my whole album. 1:05:20.240 --> 1:05:22.040 So by the time I go to London. I went 1:05:22.120 --> 1:05:26.360 to London, they had my home. They're like, yo, yeah 1:05:26.560 --> 1:05:28.960 they made this song. I'm like, I've seen't even know. 1:05:29.000 --> 1:05:31.520 I didn't know the name. So so yeah. So from 1:05:31.560 --> 1:05:33.640 doing that mixtape, that's how I traveled the country, and 1:05:33.640 --> 1:05:35.280 that's how I knew I had a buzz. And that's 1:05:35.320 --> 1:05:38.080 what I'm telling Chris. I'm like, yo, bro, and Chris 1:05:38.160 --> 1:05:40.680 like you sure like it ain't like Chris is like, Yo, 1:05:40.880 --> 1:05:43.560 don't let your like, don't let your man's just like 1:05:44.200 --> 1:05:47.040 gash you like, because we need people that donnather recks. 1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:48.880 I'm like, Chris, I'm telling you that other people like 1:05:48.960 --> 1:05:51.080 your Chris, I ain't other people like your Chris. I've 1:05:51.080 --> 1:05:53.600 seen them selling Mega's mixtape and in a car lots 1:05:53.600 --> 1:05:55.760 and I was getting my car then. So the buzz starting. 1:05:55.880 --> 1:05:58.360 But once I did that Survival the Illus tour, you 1:05:58.360 --> 1:06:01.560 couldn't tell me nothing. I've seen it. I rocked Apollo, Bro. 1:06:02.160 --> 1:06:06.080 It's on video. You canna saw it. So so all 1:06:06.120 --> 1:06:09.360 across the country, I never got booed. It was love 1:06:09.440 --> 1:06:13.080 everywhere with no album out and no single that's unheard of. 1:06:13.760 --> 1:06:15.360 That's when I wanted to get off. That's why I 1:06:15.360 --> 1:06:17.240 got off Death Chant. When I came back from that tour, 1:06:17.600 --> 1:06:20.480 I got off the label. I said, why you because 1:06:20.560 --> 1:06:23.520 because they had no plans for me. Bro if if 1:06:23.640 --> 1:06:27.480 if I'm a I'm a I'm a businessman, and I 1:06:27.560 --> 1:06:29.400 put you on the road with no single and you're 1:06:29.480 --> 1:06:31.720 killing it. Almost when soon did you come at from 1:06:31.760 --> 1:06:34.120 that tour? We're starting, we're starting playing in your album. 1:06:34.520 --> 1:06:36.600 I came back and there's no plans And to the 1:06:36.720 --> 1:06:39.000 Russell Simmons is even like, you know what the fund 1:06:39.080 --> 1:06:41.520 is going on with Mega Ship? Shout out to Russell. 1:06:41.760 --> 1:06:44.960 Russell Simmons was like, what's up with Mega ship too? 1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:48.160 I don't know, I don't know what that means. But 1:06:49.760 --> 1:07:00.320 oh he said, he called it le, he called he's dead. 1:06:59.840 --> 1:07:02.440 He came to the tour and seen me with his eyes. 1:07:02.560 --> 1:07:05.280 He's seen that ship that said. He was like, Yo, 1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:08.840 he loved the song My Time of Diary. Wow. So 1:07:08.880 --> 1:07:10.680 it's like I'm like wrapping Russe is a hip hop 1:07:11.040 --> 1:07:13.200 like he really you know what I'm saying, a matter 1:07:13.200 --> 1:07:14.840 of fact, I played myself part me for saying the 1:07:14.920 --> 1:07:17.600 N word. He's a hip hop dude to say the 1:07:17.800 --> 1:07:21.400 word neither. Yeah. So anyway, so after that tour, when 1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:23.560 I've seen they had no plans for me, I said, 1:07:24.080 --> 1:07:27.760 I can't be here no more. And the last straw. Unfortunately, 1:07:27.880 --> 1:07:32.040 when when it violated UM compilation compilation came out, I 1:07:32.120 --> 1:07:34.960 was only on one song. I took offense to that 1:07:35.600 --> 1:07:38.960 because I'm huh, I think I was, But you want 1:07:39.040 --> 1:07:43.240 violated management, I'm gonna violate the records. Damn, I only 1:07:43.280 --> 1:07:46.080 got one song. So how y'all you not how y'all 1:07:46.080 --> 1:07:48.480 building me up? So I was like, I was like, 1:07:48.600 --> 1:07:50.520 just too much going on. There's too much, Like they're 1:07:50.560 --> 1:07:53.400 not prioritizing me. So I was. I went up there 1:07:53.400 --> 1:07:54.960 and I was like, yo, you know what saying. So 1:07:55.040 --> 1:07:57.600 you left depth jam and violated at the same time, 1:07:57.760 --> 1:08:01.920 it's the same thing, but violated. It was violated death jams. 1:08:02.320 --> 1:08:05.240 So I went to Kevin. I went to Kevin Loos 1:08:05.840 --> 1:08:08.120 and I went to Kevin los office. At first, I 1:08:08.200 --> 1:08:11.880 told Christenam what I wanted. Yeah, that's he was fat 1:08:13.040 --> 1:08:17.800 it continue. I went to Kevin and I spoke to 1:08:17.920 --> 1:08:20.800 him like a man, and I said, yo, I told 1:08:20.880 --> 1:08:25.479 him I wanted to get off the label. And I said, because, um, y'all, y'all, 1:08:25.600 --> 1:08:28.200 y'all not help y'all. I said, nothing, nothing on the 1:08:28.240 --> 1:08:31.479 shelf is gonna there's nothing sustainable on the shelf. Like 1:08:31.560 --> 1:08:33.240 if I'm on the shelf, you don't have no plans 1:08:33.320 --> 1:08:34.760 for me. And I said, every day you come to 1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:37.439 this office, you're driving in a nice car, and you 1:08:37.600 --> 1:08:40.000 drive into your nice house. I said, I want nice 1:08:40.040 --> 1:08:41.800 things too. I said, I want to live my life 1:08:41.840 --> 1:08:44.280 and I want to create as an artist, I asked him, 1:08:44.320 --> 1:08:45.760 and I asked him like a man. I said, all 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:48.240 my years of being an artist here, I've never let 1:08:48.360 --> 1:08:54.360 my street affiliation or strength conflict with my professionalism as 1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:57.760 an artist. I said it just like that to him. 1:08:58.400 --> 1:09:01.720 So I basically gave my off. He couldn't refuse, and 1:09:01.840 --> 1:09:04.400 speaking him was right outside of a little bit so 1:09:05.360 --> 1:09:12.040 so um and respectfully. Yeah, I got my release after that, 1:09:12.560 --> 1:09:14.240 and they gave me money. They gave me like a 1:09:15.320 --> 1:09:17.120 more than free and clear. Yeah, they gave me like 1:09:17.240 --> 1:09:19.760 a I guess, like head hairs to hold you down 1:09:20.200 --> 1:09:22.960 because you're not you know, you're not gonna be signed anymore, 1:09:23.320 --> 1:09:27.719 so you couldn't sign somewhere immediately I could sign somewhere. 1:09:28.160 --> 1:09:30.519 I just they made me sign something where I couldn't 1:09:30.520 --> 1:09:32.120 sue them because they did a lot of funk ship. 1:09:33.240 --> 1:09:36.920 So that's how I got off a death chamce. But um, 1:09:37.800 --> 1:09:45.080 when I got off, UM, shout out to my man Beamy. 1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:53.760 Bammy flew me out to California. Warner Brothers was gonna 1:09:53.760 --> 1:09:59.000 give me seven hundred thousand fantastic story. Let's keep that's 1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:01.479 on strength of Beammy. Benny took me out there. Beny 1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:04.639 always believed that me, Bemmy was in jail, me and everything. Yeah, 1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:08.000 so matter of fact, I had this note my calm 1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:10.960 right now. But um, I ain't got his number now, 1:10:11.000 --> 1:10:12.599 I said, if I had, I would call him. Um. 1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:15.400 So yeah, I had a situation there. But Warner Brothers, 1:10:15.439 --> 1:10:18.920 that's when Warner Brothers was going through this restructuring ship 1:10:19.640 --> 1:10:21.759 and if you know about when the labels have mergers, 1:10:22.160 --> 1:10:25.200 everything stops. So I would have been on the shelf again. 1:10:26.000 --> 1:10:28.160 And in this rap game, you can't be on the 1:10:28.200 --> 1:10:30.160 shelf for four years and then ship for yes, you've 1:10:30.200 --> 1:10:34.280 done after that. So I didn't want to just I 1:10:34.360 --> 1:10:36.560 didn't want to do that. So I said, you know, what. 1:10:37.520 --> 1:10:39.400 We didn't do that because they was going through their 1:10:39.439 --> 1:10:41.240 merger thing. I didn't want to wait, I was, I was. 1:10:41.479 --> 1:10:43.200 I was impatient at that point. I wanted to come 1:10:43.200 --> 1:10:54.160 out t VT, but Records again, tvt Okay was gonna 1:10:54.160 --> 1:10:59.240 sign me Steve Gottli.

This is when I lost respect for death 1:11:07.600 --> 1:11:14.480 jams music, anything that you hold on to, it appreciates. 1:11:15.560 --> 1:11:19.840 My deal was signing nine six two d fifty. Remember 1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:21.599 I was the first rapper to get that quarter million 1:11:21.600 --> 1:11:24.320 dollar day. That was a back. That was a bad Yeah. 1:11:24.439 --> 1:11:28.920 That was So when I went to t VT, there 1:11:29.000 --> 1:11:31.479 was like, what was your deal? I was like two fifty. 1:11:31.920 --> 1:11:34.400 There's like all right, cool. So now being at I 1:11:34.520 --> 1:11:38.120 was on the shelf for like four four years, they 1:11:38.160 --> 1:11:40.040 should they should take a settlement, like if your deal 1:11:40.080 --> 1:11:42.400 was for two fifty, check this one fifty or whatever? 1:11:42.520 --> 1:11:44.880 Right this when this when and this one. I knew 1:11:44.880 --> 1:11:46.920 that they keep saying the shelf. I don't understand the show. 1:11:47.080 --> 1:11:48.920 The show was like being helped up. They're not putting 1:11:48.960 --> 1:11:54.600 the mouth and not releasing them. Okay, that's that's if 1:11:54.640 --> 1:11:56.280 you see you later. May people come back to you. 1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:02.040 So that happens to a lot of hard happens with 1:12:02.120 --> 1:12:09.040 a lot of tax label funked up. Yea. So this 1:12:09.360 --> 1:12:11.200 this is when I this one I had Now, when 1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:13.160 I got off death Jams, I was I didn't have 1:12:13.240 --> 1:12:15.400 interues with them. I was still cool with them. You 1:12:15.400 --> 1:12:16.799 know what I'm saying. I'm cool with them now. Obviously 1:12:16.840 --> 1:12:18.920 I'm gonna be for them, But at this moment, I 1:12:18.960 --> 1:12:21.760 don't know who. Is that a matter of fact that 1:12:21.800 --> 1:12:27.880 people have that I think? You know what? Sorry, I 1:12:27.960 --> 1:12:32.960 went to Crazy, went to fun he quit his job. 1:12:33.520 --> 1:12:37.760 I was here, I was not here. No, the Indian guy, 1:12:37.800 --> 1:12:39.280 I didn't know why he was in there. I was like, 1:12:39.360 --> 1:12:41.920 this is not the coaching. Sorry. So I went to 1:12:42.040 --> 1:12:47.720 far No, he was nuts. So this one and this one, 1:12:47.720 --> 1:12:49.400 and that's when I realized the industry is fucked up. 1:12:50.720 --> 1:12:53.599 T v T gave me the Swedish deal for them 1:12:53.800 --> 1:12:56.760 in the world.

The music. 1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:18.800 They that's crazy. They want the three hundred and fifty 1:13:18.840 --> 1:13:23.040 thousand instead of two hundred and fifty thousand. With their 1:13:23.120 --> 1:13:26.320 losses that they had with each other.

I'll do one shot though, 1:15:54.640 --> 1:16:04.960 I'll do one shot in the building. That's my check 1:16:05.080 --> 1:16:08.080 with the name of the podcast.

Okay, no, 1:16:19.479 --> 1:16:22.400 hold up, we're gonna talk about Prodigy. We didn't finished 1:16:22.400 --> 1:16:26.719 the three fifty part. Okay, let's go three fifty listen. Anyway, 1:16:26.720 --> 1:16:32.760 they raised it the three fifty blunt but paid for it, 1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:38.960 so that killed that deal, right. So, like I said before, 1:16:39.880 --> 1:16:44.200 sometimes things that happened are supposed to happen, so you 1:16:44.320 --> 1:16:47.040 can't get upset with it. So when they raised the 1:16:47.120 --> 1:16:50.720 three fifty, I was like, funk the Testament album. I 1:16:50.840 --> 1:16:54.519 got mad and I made The Realness album so that 1:16:54.560 --> 1:16:56.799 shil never happened. I've never had an album called the Realness. 1:16:58.760 --> 1:17:01.400 That's why I ain't even mad at that. That can't 1:17:01.439 --> 1:17:03.519 be mad. Are we supposed to make? I think he's 1:17:08.240 --> 1:17:09.920 all right, let's go to them now, let's take it. 1:17:10.000 --> 1:17:12.120 It's a product. Okay, let's go to project you what 1:17:12.320 --> 1:17:15.280 was your relationship with Prodigy? Me and Prodigy was cool? 1:17:16.439 --> 1:17:21.720 That was my guy. Um Actually, I'm gonna go through 1:17:21.760 --> 1:17:24.360 my phone. Yeah, you got notes. I love your notes. 1:17:24.360 --> 1:17:27.800 I don't got a note from that one. Um, I 1:17:27.920 --> 1:17:30.920 love your notes. By the way, I'm doing that from 1:17:30.920 --> 1:17:33.960 now on. I ain't gonna lie. You gave me my 1:17:34.040 --> 1:17:36.000 best complement. I told you that, right, I said, that's 1:17:36.000 --> 1:17:37.960 my one of my favorite combuments. You said, you're winning. 1:17:38.600 --> 1:17:40.680 You're learning on the job, but you're winning, and I 1:17:40.840 --> 1:17:43.000 love that. That's one of my favorite compliments. If your 1:17:43.000 --> 1:17:46.599 people ain't motivating you, you know what I mean? That questionable? 1:17:47.960 --> 1:17:50.920 So so you're going for a prodigy quote right now? No, no, no, 1:17:51.000 --> 1:17:52.920 I'm I'm looking for something. I'm gonna see if it's 1:17:52.920 --> 1:17:55.400 in my phone. Sure type of time, I'm on, No, 1:17:55.640 --> 1:17:59.160 I go. I cut myself already established that in the camera. 1:17:59.280 --> 1:18:02.960 So I thank you. I respect you're protected me, but 1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:05.840 I already stabblished. Listen, I cut myself shaven negative. This 1:18:06.080 --> 1:18:12.120 is what it is. Man, Here we go. Okay, Oh 1:18:14.040 --> 1:18:15.840 you went to see him in jail. Yeah, I'm on 1:18:15.920 --> 1:18:19.720 that kind of time with my people. Ah, do you 1:18:19.800 --> 1:18:23.280 believe that he died for eggshells? I don't know what 1:18:23.360 --> 1:18:24.760 to believe with that. That was from that was that 1:18:24.880 --> 1:18:27.639 was that was kind of weird. You ever seen that video? 1:18:27.800 --> 1:18:29.600 They said that he was about to put out a 1:18:29.760 --> 1:18:33.840 documentary about Luminarity. And that's the reason why. I mean, 1:18:33.880 --> 1:18:37.400 I just gotta ask because that's been a theory that 1:18:37.960 --> 1:18:40.240 I heard so many things. But I just found it 1:18:40.360 --> 1:18:41.920 weird that he choked on the egg. I don't know 1:18:42.000 --> 1:18:44.479 what happened, but I just found it weird. And I 1:18:44.600 --> 1:18:51.679 know queensd ain't been the same as far I'm talking 1:18:51.680 --> 1:18:54.599 about the music. It just feels different without him here, 1:18:55.040 --> 1:19:00.400 Like it's unfair almost, because like when you look at it, 1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:05.519 like look how we're vibing like a madness. Like look, 1:19:05.720 --> 1:19:08.080 last time we did an interview, he was like, would 1:19:08.080 --> 1:19:10.160 you do a que queens Bridge too? And I was 1:19:10.240 --> 1:19:13.720 like nah.

Yeah, I ain't even gonna 1:21:23.920 --> 1:21:25.400 see poem the jail. I'm a foul nigger, but I 1:21:25.479 --> 1:21:31.160 paid this compensation. But I paid this commisation. So, like 1:21:31.240 --> 1:21:38.519 I said, probably he's a good brother, and uh he's 1:21:38.600 --> 1:21:44.840 missed and it just don't feel the same without him. 1:21:45.640 --> 1:21:47.800 Certain that you said that in certain instances, you know 1:21:47.840 --> 1:21:50.639 what I'm saying. I wish he was here and I hope, 1:21:51.479 --> 1:21:55.360 I hope Havoc knows that. You know, everybody is fully 1:21:55.439 --> 1:21:57.439 behind him and we want him to carry on that 1:21:57.560 --> 1:21:59.920 tradition and that legacy. You know what I'm saying. All Right, 1:22:00.000 --> 1:22:03.400 So this is probably you probably the only person that's 1:22:03.520 --> 1:22:10.519 qualified to answer this question right now. Yeah, I really 1:22:10.600 --> 1:22:18.080 need them. It was a big discrepancy his murrle. He 1:22:18.120 --> 1:22:23.439 had a mirror and then his mirrle got violated. You're 1:22:23.439 --> 1:22:28.720 probably the only person that can answer this, and I 1:22:29.479 --> 1:22:31.040 need you to be the same way you've been in 1:22:31.120 --> 1:22:35.280 this whole interview. What was going on with that? I 1:22:35.360 --> 1:22:37.080 don't know what the fun was going on with that 1:22:37.800 --> 1:22:43.599 that answer as well. I mean, when when I first 1:22:43.840 --> 1:22:47.280 heard about it. I thought it was like I couldn't 1:22:47.320 --> 1:22:49.800 even believe it. I was like, wow, It's like, when 1:22:49.840 --> 1:22:54.920 you think about it, you could be the most despised 1:22:54.960 --> 1:22:57.360 criminal in the world. You're in the FBI's most wanted list. 1:22:57.400 --> 1:23:01.000 Soon as you're dead, you're not despisedble more. It's over 1:23:01.880 --> 1:23:04.200 in the mafia. You can have a war with this 1:23:04.280 --> 1:23:07.320 whole other family. So as you're dead, it's like some 1:23:07.439 --> 1:23:10.479 people from that family might even pay respects. So it's 1:23:10.520 --> 1:23:14.600 like that ship. You're an artist. From an artist perspective, 1:23:15.120 --> 1:23:18.920 that ship made Queen's Bridge look very bad because I'm 1:23:18.920 --> 1:23:20.920 an artist and I know what people are saying around 1:23:20.920 --> 1:23:23.160 the world, and I know what executives were saying, and 1:23:23.280 --> 1:23:25.920 you probably heard it too. Nobody wanted to funk. That 1:23:25.920 --> 1:23:30.120 ship made the whole that made Queen Bridge the movement 1:23:30.360 --> 1:23:34.640 look bad, and executives was mad, fans was mad. It 1:23:34.800 --> 1:23:40.040 was bad. So it's like the man is dead, and 1:23:40.160 --> 1:23:44.600 it's like, I don't know what to say about that. 1:23:44.760 --> 1:23:46.200 I wasn't there, I didn't do it. I don't got 1:23:46.240 --> 1:23:50.160 nothing to do with it. And happened three times twice twice. 1:23:50.200 --> 1:23:56.320 Excuse me, you're right, I know, I just wish everybody. 1:23:59.040 --> 1:24:15.760 I wish everybody would uh will grow from things I wish? Um. Yo, 1:24:15.920 --> 1:24:19.640 you know what I noticed, Yo, When ego takes the 1:24:19.720 --> 1:24:25.639 will you never get to your destination? Bro. And it's 1:24:25.760 --> 1:24:37.680 like sometimes, um, we gotta learn when to put our 1:24:37.760 --> 1:24:41.840 ego down and just and just be men or just 1:24:42.640 --> 1:24:46.719 we gotta have more empathy also and not pride because 1:24:47.600 --> 1:24:50.720 that was one of my flaws as a man at 1:24:50.760 --> 1:24:55.559 one point. And it's like, sometimes you gotta question yourself. 1:24:56.600 --> 1:24:59.439 I questioned myself, what is my pride got in me? 1:25:00.040 --> 1:25:02.720 Because you're proude is only gonna validate you while you 1:25:02.840 --> 1:25:04.519 in the when you're in the thriller, when you're in 1:25:04.560 --> 1:25:06.960 the heat of the moment, somebody violating, it's like boom, 1:25:07.560 --> 1:25:11.960 yeah what But pride is that instigated, that's never around 1:25:12.360 --> 1:25:17.840 when consequences come around. So proud to make you do 1:25:18.040 --> 1:25:22.760 something and in the next day regret takes over the conversation. 1:25:22.960 --> 1:25:25.360 Regret you ever do something, And then the next day 1:25:25.360 --> 1:25:28.960 you'd be like, damn, I wish all the time that why, 1:25:29.040 --> 1:25:31.040 why why we can't avoid why we can't nit that 1:25:32.280 --> 1:25:35.519 avoid the regret. So that's the thing we gotta do 1:25:36.080 --> 1:25:39.880 as men like dudes gotta put their egos aside because 1:25:40.800 --> 1:25:43.360 because um, because that ship that shouldn't getting you nowhere. 1:25:43.640 --> 1:25:45.800 And that's that's another reason why I'm at peace now, 1:25:45.800 --> 1:25:48.439 because my ego don't control me no more, you know 1:25:48.479 --> 1:25:51.160 what I'm saying. And at the same time, it's like, 1:25:52.760 --> 1:25:54.640 there's a time to be dangerous, there's a time to 1:25:54.680 --> 1:25:56.439 be militant, but there's always a time to be a 1:25:56.520 --> 1:26:01.240 thinker like thinks the most dangerous people. Yo, bro, I 1:26:01.280 --> 1:26:04.439 went to the shooting range and I realized I shoot 1:26:04.479 --> 1:26:07.639 better now than I used to. You know, people from 1:26:07.680 --> 1:26:09.479 the hood. You were from the hood. Think about this 1:26:09.880 --> 1:26:12.120 average dude from the hood can't even shoot. That's why 1:26:12.240 --> 1:26:14.800 people get that's why there's so many accidents to shoot this. 1:26:15.240 --> 1:26:17.000 People get a gun, they're just like, yeah, what and 1:26:17.040 --> 1:26:18.479 they're just ready to shoot. They don't even know how 1:26:18.520 --> 1:26:22.240 to shoots. Very true, real talk. So there's a lot 1:26:22.320 --> 1:26:25.000 of things, there's a lot of ghetto things that we 1:26:25.160 --> 1:26:27.240 need to spoil. A minute, as a felon, you could 1:26:27.280 --> 1:26:33.280 do that, yeah, but oh, let's let's clean yourself. I 1:26:33.320 --> 1:26:35.080 haven't been in jail. I haven't been in troubling up 1:26:35.080 --> 1:26:39.360 with twenty joints, I'm so after while you ship is 1:26:39.640 --> 1:26:42.280 after while you has got one here though, leave it 1:26:42.280 --> 1:26:53.599 along at the wild. So when you get in trouble 1:26:53.680 --> 1:26:57.719 with the law, you got you cook. You're even gonna 1:26:57.800 --> 1:26:59.439 keep that staying on your shipt or you're gonna try 1:26:59.439 --> 1:27:04.880 to clean it up or so It's like me, I 1:27:05.040 --> 1:27:08.880 never knew I was gonna be worldwide like that as 1:27:08.920 --> 1:27:11.360 an artist. So now I'm starting to travel the world 1:27:11.360 --> 1:27:14.080 and I'm starting to have problems getting into have problem 1:27:14.120 --> 1:27:17.800 get into Canada like that. Yeah, they don't play that 1:27:18.160 --> 1:27:19.880 as you know, until you get out of here. Made. 1:27:19.920 --> 1:27:25.680 They kicked me out twice Australian, so I talk to 1:27:25.680 --> 1:27:28.560 get into us. It took me like three months to 1:27:28.560 --> 1:27:30.479 get in there, like doing PaperWorks and all this stuff. 1:27:30.880 --> 1:27:36.680 So it's like now I'm like, damn, Like trouble was overrated. 1:27:38.479 --> 1:27:41.160 Think about it. That's hord pride. You in the hood. 1:27:41.200 --> 1:27:43.160 You wallet, Oh that's such and such. He get busy. 1:27:43.960 --> 1:27:46.479 But what is it getting busy get you? It can't 1:27:46.520 --> 1:27:50.000 get you real estate, it can't get you business investments. Like, 1:27:50.600 --> 1:27:55.479 to be honest with you, I don't even need gangsters 1:27:55.520 --> 1:27:58.120 with me because anything a gangster could do already could 1:27:58.120 --> 1:28:01.840 do myself and and and a real man, I don't 1:28:01.840 --> 1:28:04.200 even want to put my people in those situations because 1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:08.680 a lot of times those end up being extra you 1:28:08.920 --> 1:28:11.760 end up being accountable for somebody else, you know what 1:28:11.760 --> 1:28:13.880 I'm saying. So it's like that's a that's a part 1:28:13.920 --> 1:28:18.080 of having power control being responsible with it. So it's like, 1:28:18.439 --> 1:28:20.080 I try not to get in stuff because I know 1:28:20.240 --> 1:28:22.240 when I'm capable, and I know how my people come. 1:28:22.280 --> 1:28:24.280 But I don't want my people getting into nothing. So 1:28:24.439 --> 1:28:26.240 now it was like, all right, how can I clean 1:28:26.320 --> 1:28:29.680 up my my ship? So I started staying out of 1:28:29.720 --> 1:28:31.759 trouble war more and more. That's that's another mesic conception. 1:28:31.840 --> 1:28:34.320 Omega's going back and forth to jail. That's bullshit, you 1:28:34.400 --> 1:28:35.800 know that ever since you met me? Have I ever 1:28:35.880 --> 1:28:38.040 been met to jail? You know what I'm saying. So 1:28:38.200 --> 1:28:40.920 it's like I'm trying to show people, especially the young dudes, 1:28:40.960 --> 1:28:42.840 that look, I know why people say that's because you 1:28:42.960 --> 1:28:46.559 have one of the best shoutouts the jail nigger could 1:28:46.600 --> 1:28:48.880 ever have. What's up with called Mega? Did you see 1:28:48.920 --> 1:28:52.040 him y'all together? What was he talking about? Plus now 1:28:52.200 --> 1:28:57.320 it ain't just that was talking to Yeah, that's one 1:28:57.320 --> 1:29:00.680 of the best jail shoutouts ever. But it is a 1:29:00.760 --> 1:29:02.800 long time ago. Man, I was, I need a home 1:29:02.840 --> 1:29:08.400 shout out now. I want these dudes to know. I 1:29:08.479 --> 1:29:10.719 want these young dudes. You know, when I really started, 1:29:11.320 --> 1:29:14.599 what really humbled me to Nori seeing young dudes look 1:29:14.680 --> 1:29:18.160 up to me, Like there's a bunch of core magas 1:29:18.200 --> 1:29:21.400 out there. Like there's dudes named Camga. There's people with 1:29:21.439 --> 1:29:23.880 my my face tattooed on that body. There's people with 1:29:23.920 --> 1:29:26.120 my quotes tattooed on You've probably seen it on my Instagram. 1:29:26.240 --> 1:29:29.240 One thing I did a page with like eight different posted, 1:29:29.360 --> 1:29:32.200 like eight different people with my That's crazy to see that. 1:29:32.960 --> 1:29:35.680 So it's stuff like that that's humbling. And it's like 1:29:38.400 --> 1:29:41.160 also traveling the world. Like I said, Yo, I went 1:29:41.240 --> 1:29:44.280 to Haiti. I've been to Uganda, Africa at the time. 1:29:44.520 --> 1:29:46.360 I did you start with Haiti, man, and you got 1:29:46.439 --> 1:29:53.120 my friend gas stuff right now he's back. He just turned. 1:29:53.640 --> 1:29:56.200 You performed in Haiti. I performed in Haiti. I did it. 1:29:56.280 --> 1:29:58.560 I did it. I did a song. I did a 1:29:58.640 --> 1:30:00.960 tribute song for Haiti. All the proceeds went to Haiti. 1:30:01.760 --> 1:30:04.400 Um you know what I'm saying. Actually, there's somebody in 1:30:04.439 --> 1:30:07.240 the house right now, and Haiti that that came from us, 1:30:07.439 --> 1:30:09.680 our contributions and our and our hard work and our 1:30:09.760 --> 1:30:12.080 hard work, you know what I'm saying. So I put 1:30:12.160 --> 1:30:15.080 in work there. When I went to Haiti Um there 1:30:15.160 --> 1:30:18.559 were still people buried in the street when that earthquake. 1:30:18.600 --> 1:30:21.320 Think there was still people under the rubble and it 1:30:21.520 --> 1:30:24.000 was it was devastating. I've never seen nothing like that 1:30:24.120 --> 1:30:27.439 in my life. Only in even COVID. Even the COVID 1:30:27.479 --> 1:30:32.600 ship that's make that it makes from the COVID was 1:30:32.680 --> 1:30:35.560 like because COVID and east Hurst, that ship hurt me. 1:30:35.720 --> 1:30:37.879 You've seen those fitches and I didn't go there personally, 1:30:38.360 --> 1:30:42.040 but when I've seen East Hearst, that's that's my hospital. 1:30:42.160 --> 1:30:43.760 Look if I get funked up, I go to St 1:30:43.840 --> 1:30:46.840 John's Umhurst. But at least the hospital still there. But 1:30:46.920 --> 1:30:52.160 the bodies was around the see that happy both. I 1:30:52.280 --> 1:30:57.840 was so scared. Family. A matter of fact, moment of 1:30:57.880 --> 1:31:00.960 silence to everybody. You want to open the bottom he 1:31:01.040 --> 1:31:03.120 still because I feel like we need this as the moment, 1:31:03.600 --> 1:31:05.160 Like I feel like you should open You've got a 1:31:05.200 --> 1:31:08.040 drink it, but I feel like you should to see 1:31:08.040 --> 1:31:13.559 if you still got champagne skilled, I don't got Come 1:31:13.600 --> 1:31:22.439 on you quiz fridge, do it? Cat? Somebody over there 1:31:22.479 --> 1:31:26.640 for me, open it, let me talk the talk for you. 1:31:26.800 --> 1:31:29.360 Oh this thing is then tap the bottom. This is 1:31:29.400 --> 1:31:36.240 old school. My father, my father, my father was raised 1:31:36.240 --> 1:31:40.320 in massy projects too. So that's for jack. So what 1:31:40.479 --> 1:31:45.080 was you saying, Haiti? Haiti? Humble with me? Because they 1:31:45.560 --> 1:31:47.960 imagine the White House with a whole at the top 1:31:48.680 --> 1:31:51.240 crumpling the White House where the president. They got a 1:31:51.240 --> 1:31:53.120 white house that looks like I was. It looked like 1:31:53.320 --> 1:31:55.479 it looked like a heart movie, like like one of 1:31:55.520 --> 1:31:58.040 those movies when when the bomb hit it like it 1:31:58.120 --> 1:32:00.160 looks like that's not it's not funny, it's it was 1:32:00.200 --> 1:32:03.400 talking like their buildings was toppled. They were still there 1:32:03.439 --> 1:32:05.120 was people who was like still looking for their family 1:32:05.160 --> 1:32:08.080 members like that in the ground. There was mad bodies everywhere. 1:32:08.520 --> 1:32:12.000 But the thing that made me go crazy and and 1:32:12.200 --> 1:32:16.360 really look at myself was like these people was still 1:32:17.880 --> 1:32:21.280 harmonious amongst each other. They wasn't mad, They wasn't better. 1:32:21.680 --> 1:32:24.880 The kids were still playing and I'm like, wow, we're 1:32:24.920 --> 1:32:27.560 over here fighting over somebody stepping on our sneakers or 1:32:28.360 --> 1:32:31.920 over bullshit, and these people got nothing and they're more 1:32:32.000 --> 1:32:35.120 happy than us with money. That ship makes you really 1:32:35.160 --> 1:32:38.519 look at yourself. When I came home, I stopped wearing 1:32:38.560 --> 1:32:40.880 jewelry for a while because I felt like a clown, 1:32:41.000 --> 1:32:44.680 like these people have nothing and they're happy than us. So, 1:32:45.640 --> 1:32:49.120 you know, that really over my eyes to certain things. 1:32:49.240 --> 1:32:52.639 And then when I went to Uganda, you know that, Yeah, 1:32:53.040 --> 1:32:58.200 that was a beautiful experience for me also, And you know, um, 1:32:59.479 --> 1:33:01.679 when I do these kind of things, I really don't, 1:33:03.439 --> 1:33:04.880 you know, I don't you know how people do think 1:33:04.880 --> 1:33:07.200 they publicize. I don't publicize it because it's from the heart. 1:33:07.920 --> 1:33:10.519 And if there's pictures, that's pictures. But I'm not old 1:33:10.640 --> 1:33:11.880 in with it. But when I went to you Ghana 1:33:11.960 --> 1:33:14.599 was a building experience. I've seen how happy that people were. 1:33:15.360 --> 1:33:19.920 I've seen like how over here America we are gluttonous 1:33:20.160 --> 1:33:22.720 in our ways. Like you you go overseas, you know, 1:33:22.880 --> 1:33:24.200 you never know. It's like you go to the store 1:33:24.240 --> 1:33:26.679 overseas and you'd be like, let me get a large shoulder, 1:33:27.160 --> 1:33:29.640 and it's like this size or whatever. But over hey, 1:33:29.680 --> 1:33:33.599 I lodged like this. So we over we over consume, 1:33:33.720 --> 1:33:37.240 We're over consuming. They don't even tip when you tipped them. 1:33:37.400 --> 1:33:39.960 Sometimes they don't even know what that is. They actually 1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:46.679 take it personal, like I tipped somebody there. They don't. 1:33:49.240 --> 1:33:51.840 I gonna tell you what this is with this ship, 1:33:52.960 --> 1:33:54.960 Like poultry side to be real size and we got 1:33:55.040 --> 1:33:58.200 a monster. You get a chicken over there, you think 1:33:58.240 --> 1:34:02.479 it's a pure first I'm in London. I said, your 1:34:02.560 --> 1:34:07.360 cows are sick. He said, no, you're six And I 1:34:07.479 --> 1:34:10.200 was like, oh, because you know, I'm used to seeing 1:34:10.320 --> 1:34:12.760 big cows. You ever seen the cow in London. I'm 1:34:12.760 --> 1:34:20.679 sitting skinniest ship found ship. Nah, you're right. Certain certain 1:34:20.720 --> 1:34:25.160 countries they call our food Franken Start food GM food. Yeah, 1:34:25.160 --> 1:34:27.400 they called the Franken Star full look it up. So 1:34:27.560 --> 1:34:33.360 certain things over here a FDA are cleared. They cleared 1:34:33.360 --> 1:34:35.719 certain things that we eat that we should need. Should 1:34:35.760 --> 1:34:41.080 we trust the FDA or no? No, no, okay, he's 1:34:41.240 --> 1:34:43.599 defenditive or not. So let's change it up a little. 1:34:45.280 --> 1:34:49.880 The firm most legendary group one of the legendary groups, 1:34:50.920 --> 1:34:55.160 y'all ever felt like that was an official group. I don't. 1:34:55.240 --> 1:34:58.840 I don't have that conversation, Like you gotta understand, I'm 1:34:58.880 --> 1:35:04.280 mentally removed myself from that situation when I was removed 1:35:04.320 --> 1:35:07.120 from it, I removed myself from it mentally. No, But 1:35:07.200 --> 1:35:09.800 I'm saying, do you ever think it could have lived 1:35:09.840 --> 1:35:14.680 up to the potential that it could have? Uh? I 1:35:14.840 --> 1:35:17.880 think if it was done properly, it could have been nutty. 1:35:18.320 --> 1:35:27.120 But I think I think Dr Dre was too was 1:35:27.200 --> 1:35:30.160 too modest and humble, because you gotta understand, it was 1:35:30.200 --> 1:35:36.160 a dr J DR dret with school and then track 1:35:36.240 --> 1:35:43.519 masters got involved, so and then there were multiple labels involved. 1:35:44.439 --> 1:35:47.400 So whoever, because you was signed A death dam Fox 1:35:47.560 --> 1:35:49.560 was signed, don't don't don't include me. I wasn't on 1:35:49.600 --> 1:35:52.000 an album, so I don't count. I wasn't on an album. 1:35:52.080 --> 1:35:54.240 I'm not on one song. I'm on Nazi's album. I'm 1:35:54.240 --> 1:35:59.519 want Affirmative Action. It's on it was written, so so 1:36:00.040 --> 1:36:02.360 I'm on the that's the most popular firm song. It's 1:36:02.360 --> 1:36:04.240 the most popular firm so I'm on that. But that's 1:36:04.240 --> 1:36:05.880 on A Nolzie's album, not on the firm out. So 1:36:05.880 --> 1:36:07.759 when the firm Alpum came, I didn't have no input. 1:36:07.840 --> 1:36:10.479 I didn't have no I don't have nothing to do 1:36:10.560 --> 1:36:12.840 with that, So I don't really consider myself a part 1:36:12.880 --> 1:36:15.559 of that, and I don't. I just mexically removed myself 1:36:15.600 --> 1:36:17.400 from when I was removed from it. I removed myself 1:36:17.439 --> 1:36:20.679 from it in a in a good way, like we're 1:36:20.680 --> 1:36:23.280 all still cool. But I was like, alright, cool, I'm 1:36:23.280 --> 1:36:25.120 not a part of that. And and even with my 1:36:25.200 --> 1:36:28.080 career as I moved forward, you know what I'm saying, 1:36:30.040 --> 1:36:35.720 the way I stayed like in my own lane, whereas 1:36:38.080 --> 1:36:41.559 I never looked at it as a real group because 1:36:46.320 --> 1:36:49.439 more than a group. Excellent, excellent, because if it's a 1:36:49.520 --> 1:36:53.880 real group. Think about this for a second. Wou Tang 1:36:54.880 --> 1:36:57.360 say somebody from Wuchang comes over the album, you know 1:36:57.479 --> 1:37:00.639 you're gonna hear people from Wu Tang on that album. 1:37:01.240 --> 1:37:03.479 If stoves P come out of the album, you're gonna 1:37:03.560 --> 1:37:06.720 hear Jaya and she go on it, if she come 1:37:06.760 --> 1:37:09.519 out of Jinks, you know what I'm saying. If she 1:37:09.920 --> 1:37:14.200 comes out of the album, you're gonna hear uh thousand 1:37:15.200 --> 1:37:18.080 kiss on it. You know what I'm saying. So, and 1:37:18.120 --> 1:37:21.719 it's all gonna seem familiar if they all work in unison. 1:37:22.320 --> 1:37:25.559 So we didn't do that, you know what I'm saying. 1:37:25.600 --> 1:37:28.600 So I didn't like I'm not only No, I'm just 1:37:28.680 --> 1:37:31.760 saying I don't consider like it was a collective like 1:37:31.880 --> 1:37:33.760 he said, because the group. If it was a group, 1:37:33.800 --> 1:37:36.880 it was like group chemistry, we'd continue working together, but 1:37:37.040 --> 1:37:39.320 we didn't. I was never on nobody's album step Nas 1:37:40.680 --> 1:37:44.680 think about Yeah, So, but how was you an A relationship? Yeah? 1:37:44.720 --> 1:37:48.400 He seems cool. Yeah, you never was on I was 1:37:48.479 --> 1:37:51.559 never on the A C album exactly. That's what I'm saying. 1:37:52.400 --> 1:37:54.519 He was on one of my before I put them 1:37:54.520 --> 1:37:56.519 on my I put A C on my last album, 1:37:57.439 --> 1:38:00.439 my last album, full album, Mega Philosophy. He's on it. 1:38:00.840 --> 1:38:03.599 Was it weird when you and NAS didn't speak? How 1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:06.320 was you and A's and Foxy's relationship because we didn't 1:38:06.320 --> 1:38:09.280 haven't spoke about Foxy at all once. So how was 1:38:09.840 --> 1:38:12.880 when you and as whatever happened from y'all relationship. Did 1:38:12.920 --> 1:38:16.519 it ever get spicy between like A Z and now? 1:38:16.600 --> 1:38:18.840 It's always cool with everybody. It's just that me as 1:38:18.920 --> 1:38:22.160 a person, I just gave people their space, you know 1:38:22.200 --> 1:38:27.080 what I'm saying. I gave I gave A, I gave 1:38:27.160 --> 1:38:28.840 A his face because at the end of the day, 1:38:28.920 --> 1:38:32.160 now put them on, so I gotta respect that loyalty. 1:38:32.840 --> 1:38:35.519 So um. But other than that, he was cool, like 1:38:35.680 --> 1:38:38.080 it was like, it's all love, you know what I'm saying. 1:38:38.120 --> 1:38:42.640 And um, we did shows together, etcetera, cetera. Fox We 1:38:42.840 --> 1:38:45.439 was were tight. So it's like it's never been no, 1:38:45.840 --> 1:38:47.760 there's never been no fallout, you know what I'm saying. 1:38:48.080 --> 1:38:51.439 Even I even showed Nature love you know what I'm saying, um, 1:38:52.960 --> 1:38:58.800 um and um. That was that. But I don't I 1:38:58.960 --> 1:39:03.000 really even like he said that was a collective. Is 1:39:03.080 --> 1:39:06.519 it plans for the video for this this record? Well 1:39:06.960 --> 1:39:09.519 I can't really speak on that because that's not protest, 1:39:10.160 --> 1:39:12.000 So I can't say, yeah, well, you know I don't 1:39:12.439 --> 1:39:16.320 like it, man, you never know, I feel like it should. Man, 1:39:16.360 --> 1:39:19.280 it's it's time. Man. It's one of the best, you know, 1:39:20.120 --> 1:39:26.240 fucking uh collaboratives, whatever the fun you want to call it. Um, 1:39:26.560 --> 1:39:29.080 you made history, one of the best. It's one of 1:39:29.120 --> 1:39:32.200 the best unions. And I think it was probably that's 1:39:32.240 --> 1:39:35.120 why when we had Nature here, let make She explained 1:39:35.160 --> 1:39:40.160 that he was not the original group member, but Nature. 1:39:42.240 --> 1:39:45.639 On his Instagram, he put up a different kind of post. 1:39:46.320 --> 1:39:49.200 This is what the people wanted, and you know he 1:39:49.400 --> 1:39:51.680 had a big ended up big enough, no big enough 1:39:51.800 --> 1:39:56.240 himself like oh hold up, what wait wait, put up 1:39:56.280 --> 1:39:59.000 because because on one of these shows, one of these podcasts, 1:39:59.080 --> 1:40:00.640 I mean one of these he was now did they 1:40:00.640 --> 1:40:02.639 asked about him so and then he was like, yeah, 1:40:02.640 --> 1:40:05.840 this is what the people wanted. He shouldn't have did that. 1:40:06.200 --> 1:40:08.000 They should have did it. He should have just chilled 1:40:08.040 --> 1:40:09.720 and did it the humble way, you know what I'm saying, 1:40:09.720 --> 1:40:13.920 because like that is what causes division. You know what 1:40:13.920 --> 1:40:15.479 I'm saying. It makes people be like word and then 1:40:15.720 --> 1:40:17.000 you know, he shouldn't have did it, should have just 1:40:17.320 --> 1:40:20.080 should have just smoothed it in. You know what I'm saying. Okay, 1:40:20.800 --> 1:40:23.519 I'm sorry. I just because because I'm a little green 1:40:23.640 --> 1:40:25.880 to this, So can you elaborate a little bit, because 1:40:25.880 --> 1:40:28.639 I don't under I don't understand. So what he shouldn't 1:40:28.640 --> 1:40:30.800 have made no noise like that because he should have 1:40:30.880 --> 1:40:33.040 just been calm and smooth about it and let let 1:40:33.160 --> 1:40:36.720 things fall into place, because when you do things like that, 1:40:37.200 --> 1:40:42.479 then it and it leaves people to be divisive or 1:40:42.520 --> 1:40:46.320 people be like word word or exact. They could create riffs. 1:40:46.320 --> 1:40:48.560 So it so it seems like that he was against that. 1:40:49.000 --> 1:40:51.439 I don't know whether because on your show. He seems 1:40:51.479 --> 1:40:54.560 to sad. He see that, he seems to sid But 1:40:54.720 --> 1:40:57.519 his post, his post was like troll, like, you know 1:40:57.560 --> 1:40:59.600 what I'm saying. And it's like on your show he 1:40:59.640 --> 1:41:04.000 said he happy for Mega. So but in your post 1:41:04.040 --> 1:41:05.560 you didn't say that. You just said you know what 1:41:05.600 --> 1:41:07.400 I said. So it's like you don't leave it up 1:41:07.439 --> 1:41:09.960 for people. They sell as when you look at me, 1:41:10.880 --> 1:41:14.280 when look you notice nobody asks what with you in nature? 1:41:14.560 --> 1:41:16.640 Because I made it known that I'm cool with him. 1:41:16.880 --> 1:41:18.680 I put him on one of my albums, and there's 1:41:18.720 --> 1:41:21.120 nobody asked me about him the more as far as 1:41:21.320 --> 1:41:23.720 a riff because I made sure people see that. So 1:41:23.760 --> 1:41:27.960 if you're funk with somebody, funk with them. So, um, 1:41:28.840 --> 1:41:30.960 I think that's just a cool dude. I just think 1:41:31.560 --> 1:41:34.559 you man, Yeah, I think he's a cool dude. Shout 1:41:34.560 --> 1:41:39.120 out to nature, shout out to his bro um and uh. 1:41:40.560 --> 1:41:42.160 I just think he should have handled that different. I 1:41:42.240 --> 1:41:47.360 think sometimes we all need Uh. You think do you 1:41:47.439 --> 1:41:54.240 think I baited him? No, you be asking one question 1:41:54.400 --> 1:41:56.200 that was a slight babe, but he didn't go for that. 1:41:56.680 --> 1:41:58.640 When I asked him to quote the line. Yeah, the 1:41:58.720 --> 1:42:00.519 only reason when I asked the quote the line I'm like, 1:42:00.600 --> 1:42:03.280 just do this to you face to face. It's because 1:42:03.400 --> 1:42:06.439 I remember them taking your name out, Oh say my 1:42:06.560 --> 1:42:12.519 name and the record nor stars for ship. But that's 1:42:12.560 --> 1:42:15.280 the only reason why I just wanted to establish that. 1:42:15.880 --> 1:42:18.880 But yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. 1:42:19.200 --> 1:42:22.760 Mean this is history and that ship is so old. 1:42:22.880 --> 1:42:24.200 Like at the end of the day, I'm over it. 1:42:24.360 --> 1:42:27.000 Like I'm so over that ship. Like me and nature 1:42:27.040 --> 1:42:31.280 is cool. I haven't, Like I look back at that ship, 1:42:31.360 --> 1:42:33.559 like what yo, listen, I showed nature so much luve 1:42:34.000 --> 1:42:37.040 the only thing I never had no issue with with nature. 1:42:37.120 --> 1:42:40.720 Only issue I have with nature recently. It's not even 1:42:40.960 --> 1:42:44.840 a major issue. It's just like a where do we stand? Bro? 1:42:44.960 --> 1:42:46.960 Like is you my bro? Or is you not? Like 1:42:47.479 --> 1:42:53.240 because um, when I came out with see this is 1:42:53.240 --> 1:42:56.600 the thing about Queen's Bridge, all the rappers and and 1:42:56.760 --> 1:42:58.759 I'm gonna include you because you're a part of the movement. 1:43:00.320 --> 1:43:07.639 There's a thing called mutualism. I love this word. Oh, 1:43:08.360 --> 1:43:12.599 we have to all be mutually benefitial to top movement 1:43:13.040 --> 1:43:17.640 because the stronger we are, the stronger everyone is. So 1:43:18.840 --> 1:43:22.519 I'll be looking sometimes I see things and I don't 1:43:22.520 --> 1:43:24.880 even get mad. Sometimes it hurts. It hurts. It's like 1:43:26.080 --> 1:43:29.120 hurts or offends me. Maybe heard is a better word. 1:43:29.320 --> 1:43:31.320 It just makes me feel like damn am along, Like 1:43:31.400 --> 1:43:37.320 who's really with me? Because it's like like I support everybody. 1:43:38.160 --> 1:43:41.240 You know what I'm saying, Like I'm wanta drink Champs now, 1:43:41.320 --> 1:43:45.120 but when drink Champ was new, when when you know 1:43:45.120 --> 1:43:47.960 what I'm saying. I came on the show and you 1:43:48.000 --> 1:43:50.280 didn't even have to ask me twice. You know what 1:43:50.320 --> 1:43:53.479 I'm saying. And then it's like you my phone, my 1:43:53.800 --> 1:43:56.680 my number is always open for you to talk or 1:43:57.160 --> 1:44:00.479 for advice or for whatever input wherever. And you gave 1:44:00.479 --> 1:44:03.479 me my best compliment ever. That's my favorite compliment ever 1:44:03.600 --> 1:44:06.080 when you said you learning on the job, but you 1:44:06.200 --> 1:44:10.960 win it. Yeah, thinking no, I'm just saying. So the 1:44:11.040 --> 1:44:13.960 problem with Queen's Bridge Artist is every a lot of 1:44:14.040 --> 1:44:17.040 people have a go go every man for him self mentality, 1:44:18.000 --> 1:44:21.920 and that hurts the bottom line because if everybody's going 1:44:21.960 --> 1:44:25.960 for theirselfs, I'm gonna be I regardless because I'm good. 1:44:26.600 --> 1:44:28.280 So the people that's good, it's gonna be good. But 1:44:28.320 --> 1:44:30.559 the people that ain't good they're gonna suffer the most, 1:44:31.360 --> 1:44:35.040 so being being for self, it's gonna hurt you, and 1:44:35.120 --> 1:44:37.240 it's gonna hurt you in a negative way. One that's 1:44:37.280 --> 1:44:41.599 gonna help you because if if, if everybody's moving as one, 1:44:42.479 --> 1:44:47.080 then we win in So it's like why so like 1:44:48.640 --> 1:44:51.920 and I can name every like. I came out of 1:44:51.960 --> 1:44:57.040 my EP having posted it right the mega EP. I 1:44:57.160 --> 1:44:59.000 came out with it twice, so I did one limited 1:44:59.120 --> 1:45:02.840 version and I stopped it. I just did that like 1:45:03.080 --> 1:45:06.400 for the fans, right, I put it out having having 1:45:06.439 --> 1:45:09.719 posted on his page shout out to having even Capone 1:45:09.800 --> 1:45:13.960 posted it. I was like, okay, so I d M nature, 1:45:14.320 --> 1:45:17.120 I said, yo, post my arm, post my joint, and 1:45:17.160 --> 1:45:18.600 I got you when your joint comes out, you know what, 1:45:18.680 --> 1:45:20.720 sounding like we just gotta we gotta show each other love. 1:45:21.800 --> 1:45:30.080 And then that ship just said seeing m yea no 1:45:30.280 --> 1:45:33.559 because I'm just doing I'm trying to. I'm just selling 1:45:33.600 --> 1:45:38.000 it out. I'm just I shouldn't have to because you 1:45:38.080 --> 1:45:41.920 know that's rare. But you know what, Listen, I told 1:45:41.960 --> 1:45:45.000 this a couple of my friends, oh this weekend, Like 1:45:45.080 --> 1:45:47.120 I'm trying to be a better friend, trying to be 1:45:47.200 --> 1:45:51.479 a better person. So sometimes I would like you to 1:45:51.600 --> 1:45:54.120 tell me if this is something that you don't thinking 1:45:54.200 --> 1:45:56.160 I'm doing. I'm not saying that I'm pointing to you 1:45:56.360 --> 1:45:58.599 right now, but I'm telling this to all my friends 1:45:58.760 --> 1:46:00.600 if this is something that you want me to be. 1:46:01.240 --> 1:46:04.160 The thing is, sometimes I'm so busy. I'm not sitting 1:46:04.200 --> 1:46:07.920 there in pinpointing anything. But I want everyone in this 1:46:08.120 --> 1:46:10.240 room to know I like to be a better friend. 1:46:10.560 --> 1:46:12.639 I want you. I want to be your best friend. 1:46:13.439 --> 1:46:14.920 Like I want you to sit there and say, that's 1:46:14.920 --> 1:46:17.760 one of my best friends right there, because I know 1:46:17.880 --> 1:46:20.680 I'm one of the best people in the world. So 1:46:20.880 --> 1:46:23.880 if my immediate people don't know that I'm fucking up, 1:46:25.800 --> 1:46:29.240 I ain't got that it's gonna be your worst friending 1:46:29.320 --> 1:46:31.040 like they're gonna be your worst thing. I'm gonna be this. 1:46:31.360 --> 1:46:34.880 He's not gonna be my friend. But you know I'm 1:46:34.920 --> 1:46:37.000 saying that you've got more notes. I respect you. No, no, no, 1:46:37.120 --> 1:46:39.920 I might might but no, but but you know what 1:46:40.040 --> 1:46:42.479 you're saying is not It couldn't be just a Queensbridge problem. 1:46:42.600 --> 1:46:46.120 That's a national problem. That's a's not worry about everybody 1:46:46.120 --> 1:46:48.720 I'm worried about. That's what most of our society and 1:46:49.320 --> 1:46:51.599 know what's what's pervasive in our the world right now. 1:46:51.760 --> 1:46:55.000 But that's really irrelevant to what you're saying is right, 1:46:55.160 --> 1:46:57.720 But I'm talking about and wrapped with our When I 1:46:57.800 --> 1:47:00.680 look at Ultang, I look at Queenbridge. If if if 1:47:00.720 --> 1:47:03.519 you gotta come out sign, Ray Crown is posting it. 1:47:03.760 --> 1:47:06.600 If Ray Carn come out with something expected, Deck is 1:47:06.640 --> 1:47:13.400 posting it. But it's a movement. Queenrid is a movement. 1:47:13.920 --> 1:47:17.160 That word empathy is really big, bro, And that's that's 1:47:17.160 --> 1:47:19.360 when you put yourself with somebody else's shoes. So you 1:47:19.439 --> 1:47:22.200 gotta before you get mad at people, you have to 1:47:22.280 --> 1:47:26.760 weigh every option. Like maybe at the end of the day, 1:47:28.520 --> 1:47:33.519 I'll respect every artist. And the bigger you are, the 1:47:33.640 --> 1:47:36.839 more busier you're gonna be. So if you think Norris 1:47:36.880 --> 1:47:39.080 just sitting around waiting for you to text him to 1:47:39.520 --> 1:47:43.800 promote your ship, you bugging because he's an artist and 1:47:43.920 --> 1:47:46.320 he's a he's an entrepreneur right now, you think he 1:47:46.640 --> 1:47:53.040 purposely ignoredes. I think people. I think people don't really 1:47:53.200 --> 1:47:57.680 respect rap or they don't really respect what we do 1:47:58.800 --> 1:48:01.479 because the videos and ship make it look so easy. 1:48:02.120 --> 1:48:05.120 They don't realize all the ship that we do, and 1:48:05.280 --> 1:48:08.880 then we live your life too because we have a family. 1:48:09.080 --> 1:48:11.040 You have a family, We have family too. We don't 1:48:11.080 --> 1:48:13.519 just wrap or do what we do. And in free 1:48:13.600 --> 1:48:15.640 time we have to cook dinner too, and we have 1:48:15.720 --> 1:48:17.559 families and we have regular ship we gotta do. Plus 1:48:17.600 --> 1:48:20.439 we have lit business, so we be busy. But people 1:48:20.520 --> 1:48:23.719 don't see that, Oh you're acting funny or sons acting different, 1:48:24.160 --> 1:48:30.200 na everything. Everything that's life. That's progression. I'm I'm adapting 1:48:30.240 --> 1:48:33.400 to new ship. So if you don't contact me, I'm 1:48:33.439 --> 1:48:35.040 not a mind reader, so I'm not gonna know what's 1:48:35.040 --> 1:48:37.240 in your mind. But if you contact me and say, yo, 1:48:37.400 --> 1:48:39.720 can you do this and I don't do it, then 1:48:39.840 --> 1:48:44.439 you can get upset. But maybe you can't get upset 1:48:44.479 --> 1:48:47.800 because it's really up to us. Don't always try and 1:48:47.840 --> 1:48:50.559 get high every episode. It never happens. It's really up 1:48:50.640 --> 1:48:54.040 to us to decide what we want to do. Like, 1:48:54.400 --> 1:48:57.920 people gotta stop trying to guilt trip people into make 1:48:57.960 --> 1:49:01.640 it like success is nothing to feel guilty about. And 1:49:01.720 --> 1:49:04.599 people gotta stop trying to make it seem like they're entitled. 1:49:05.200 --> 1:49:09.120 There that sense of entitlement pushes people away because people 1:49:09.120 --> 1:49:13.160 will act like you gotta keep it real. But keep 1:49:13.200 --> 1:49:16.120 it real isn't one of the things where you conform 1:49:16.200 --> 1:49:19.920 it to benefit yourself. Keep it real, keeping it real. 1:49:20.240 --> 1:49:22.560 If Nory's busy and nor he's taking care of his 1:49:22.680 --> 1:49:24.679 wife and his family, and he's doing what he's supposed 1:49:24.680 --> 1:49:27.439 to do for his life and for his legacy, he's 1:49:27.479 --> 1:49:35.080 fucking keeping it real. God damn so. So a lot 1:49:35.120 --> 1:49:39.920 of times people they take things too personal without your communication. 1:49:40.240 --> 1:49:43.360 That communication, If you're not communicating, ship is gonna be 1:49:43.439 --> 1:49:45.639 funked up. We live, we're living in an information era. 1:49:46.160 --> 1:49:49.400 You're gonna have social media. You see so much ship 1:49:49.479 --> 1:49:53.200 in the flick of overhead, So so are we supposed 1:49:53.200 --> 1:49:56.439 to remember that? Like you're telling him that this dude 1:49:56.520 --> 1:49:59.400 does a show every week and he does he's record 1:49:59.439 --> 1:50:02.160 and he's doing she's doing this, like everybody's busy. Like 1:50:03.280 --> 1:50:05.880 I really write my music. So when I'm writing my music, 1:50:05.920 --> 1:50:10.160 I'm into that. I'm picking beats, I'm yo, I'm I'm 1:50:10.240 --> 1:50:12.960 the custodial parent. That means I'm home every day with 1:50:13.080 --> 1:50:15.639 my daughter. You know what I'm saying. Like I speak 1:50:15.680 --> 1:50:18.080 to teachers, I do laundry, I do regular ship too. 1:50:18.520 --> 1:50:20.960 So it's like I write my music, I design close, 1:50:21.080 --> 1:50:23.679 I write books. I do so I'm not sitting around 1:50:24.040 --> 1:50:27.800 ignoring you. It's like I'm busy like people is busy. 1:50:28.439 --> 1:50:32.400 So I don't get too caught up in people's emotions 1:50:32.400 --> 1:50:34.240 because that's their emotion. They there and tied it to 1:50:34.280 --> 1:50:38.440 their emotions. But don't don't overwhelm me with your expectation. 1:50:40.240 --> 1:50:42.599 I respect that. I'm not. I'm gonna name a couple 1:50:42.640 --> 1:50:47.160 of things. You tell me what this means to you. Okay, ready, 1:50:48.840 --> 1:50:56.760 I love that. That was only cute the realness my 1:50:56.920 --> 1:51:00.720 first album. That was That was me. Um, that was 1:51:00.800 --> 1:51:06.960 me exceiling. That was me after being held back and 1:51:08.640 --> 1:51:13.880 after me being held back, that was me just letting 1:51:13.920 --> 1:51:20.480 it all out. A proud moment for me. Is it? Oh? 1:51:20.640 --> 1:51:28.160 The true meaning? True, true meaning, true meaning. One of 1:51:28.160 --> 1:51:34.000 the most impactful independent albums in history. First independent album 1:51:34.040 --> 1:51:38.479 to get a Source Award, m I got a SOD 1:51:38.479 --> 1:51:46.400 I'm the first. Also fucking calling Busyo tomorrow, UM shift 1:51:46.439 --> 1:51:51.640 a hundred thousand, but it did more a glance. We 1:51:51.720 --> 1:51:59.360 didn't old money to everybody. UM show growth, show growth, 1:51:59.680 --> 1:52:07.920 the diversity of the album. UM gotta impact. Underground Music 1:52:07.920 --> 1:52:10.519 Awards gave me an Impact Award for the most Impact 1:52:10.800 --> 1:52:16.599 on the underground. So the album was like a stellar 1:52:16.760 --> 1:52:28.120 like Stella Stellar Achievement album. Mhm. The Testament. Testament would 1:52:28.120 --> 1:52:35.439 have been my first album. Adversity, Adversity and Obstacles, Um 1:52:38.840 --> 1:52:50.759 for something I'm proud of, Worn and Race, born and Raised. Arguably, 1:52:54.920 --> 1:52:59.400 sometimes I think that's my best album. Um, the fans 1:52:59.439 --> 1:53:03.280 gonna take this person. They gotta if you really, I 1:53:03.360 --> 1:53:06.920 think sometimes I think that's my best album. I think 1:53:06.960 --> 1:53:09.200 that album boring Race can stand told to told with 1:53:09.360 --> 1:53:12.880 any of my albums. Um. That's the first album I 1:53:12.920 --> 1:53:15.800 recorded with Premier. My song Making Clears on there, my 1:53:15.920 --> 1:53:18.840 song Dirty Game is on there, the song Journey with 1:53:18.920 --> 1:53:23.400 Lord Professors on their UM, the song with Pete Rocket 1:53:23.439 --> 1:53:25.320 is on it. I got a song called Rapture on there, 1:53:25.360 --> 1:53:29.360 where I had told her that's crazy. Um, I think 1:53:29.400 --> 1:53:31.479 that's one of my deep I think at one point 1:53:31.520 --> 1:53:34.519 that was my favorite album. I don't know it's it's definitely. 1:53:34.560 --> 1:53:38.360 I think that's my most underrated album, Race for sure. Okay, 1:53:38.479 --> 1:53:43.400 Mega's Philosophy, Mega produced My Lost Professor and I think 1:53:43.479 --> 1:53:47.680 even Hazard. It sounds mixed a couple of joints has 1:53:47.720 --> 1:53:52.400 it sounds? Has it it sounds? Mixed the entire album? 1:53:52.680 --> 1:54:06.640 Oh okay um that has it? Lord Professor gave me, 1:54:07.040 --> 1:54:08.920 gave me my props from the album. Has it set 1:54:08.960 --> 1:54:13.080 something today? Before you got here? He's like, Lord Professor 1:54:13.160 --> 1:54:16.240 told me on that album you became a producer Mega, 1:54:17.000 --> 1:54:21.680 because we finished the album ourselves without Law Professor. Law 1:54:21.720 --> 1:54:24.280 Professor was gone and I needed that album out, so 1:54:24.360 --> 1:54:26.920 I added some of the instrumentation. I added love of 1:54:27.000 --> 1:54:31.040 instrumentation to some of the songs. What does the instrumentation mean? 1:54:31.520 --> 1:54:39.680 It means like real musicians like Saxophone want a lot 1:54:39.720 --> 1:54:42.120 of the people like me. You know, that's special education. 1:54:42.280 --> 1:54:47.440 Some of the sequences, yea, the extra sounds. There's a 1:54:47.520 --> 1:54:50.360 song called more when I'm talking about people of color, 1:54:50.880 --> 1:54:54.200 added some kind of call not like that, but I'll 1:54:54.200 --> 1:54:57.959 see where you're going. I added like, uh, congas congos 1:54:58.000 --> 1:55:00.800 in there. That's for like the Cubans and and the 1:55:00.920 --> 1:55:04.240 other Latin brothers that are that are from our culture. 1:55:04.760 --> 1:55:07.680 So I personally added that in he knows. So that 1:55:07.840 --> 1:55:12.080 album is when I I really like Law Professor, Mega, 1:55:12.160 --> 1:55:15.640 you became a producer on that album. So that album 1:55:15.720 --> 1:55:18.600 was my comeback album. That album charted. But then and 1:55:18.640 --> 1:55:21.839 then right after that, you hit Hit the Mega produced 1:55:21.880 --> 1:55:27.800 by the street Runner street Runner. Yeah, right, yeah. Street 1:55:27.880 --> 1:55:32.640 Runner is a beautiful human being. He's a humble giant, 1:55:32.760 --> 1:55:37.000 incredible producer. He's a great producer, but he's a humble giant. 1:55:37.480 --> 1:55:45.600 You've got a guy that works with like platinum artists, 1:55:46.040 --> 1:55:49.640 gold artists, so all the time, and he made time 1:55:49.720 --> 1:55:53.480 for me and he was a big fan. But he 1:55:53.520 --> 1:55:57.960 didn't just say it in his action showed he showed it. So, um, 1:56:02.040 --> 1:56:08.080 I'm greatly appreciative to street Runner for that. Um. Yeah, 1:56:08.880 --> 1:56:15.520 and let's loose two compilations. You also had Legal Hustle Forever, 1:56:16.400 --> 1:56:19.160 rolf Ever don't count. That don't count now, ro Forever 1:56:19.320 --> 1:56:22.080 doesn't count Forever. It's just like pretty much the best 1:56:22.200 --> 1:56:26.440 of Mega and on I put suit two discs in there. 1:56:27.160 --> 1:56:31.240 I put one CD disc was like the best of Mega, 1:56:31.320 --> 1:56:32.720 so it would be like the best of Mega mixtape, 1:56:32.760 --> 1:56:36.200 and then the other disc was pretty much me doing 1:56:36.280 --> 1:56:39.960 over some of my songs. Listen, as you say disc, 1:56:40.160 --> 1:56:46.560 they're like, what are easy talking about? So one like yeah, 1:56:47.120 --> 1:56:52.720 So basically one disc was the best off and the 1:56:52.800 --> 1:56:55.520 other disc was me doing songs over with a lot 1:56:55.520 --> 1:56:58.880 of band So that was just the best stuff. So 1:56:58.880 --> 1:57:01.560 I don't count that as a project and I'm gonna stop. 1:57:01.720 --> 1:57:06.240 I'll probably stop um release of that soon. That was 1:57:06.280 --> 1:57:08.440 like something for the fans. That's the beautiful thing. But 1:57:08.560 --> 1:57:09.840 only stuff you could do what you want. You can 1:57:09.920 --> 1:57:12.520 do what you want. Legal hustle though, that was one 1:57:12.560 --> 1:57:14.400 of my I think that was one of the That 1:57:14.520 --> 1:57:17.760 was one of the top independent compilations ever too. Uh 1:57:18.200 --> 1:57:22.680 you think about it, that album like for me that 1:57:22.720 --> 1:57:26.760 I've never been on the major label. I look at 1:57:26.800 --> 1:57:31.000 the yo. That album made jacka national my man, Jack 1:57:31.040 --> 1:57:35.800 of God blessed today by every legend. He was just 1:57:35.920 --> 1:57:38.920 a local rapper and I said, Yo, I'm gonna make you. 1:57:39.560 --> 1:57:42.760 I'm gonna make you like worldwide. Bro. I got real 1:57:42.840 --> 1:57:45.240 close with jacka too. You'll never ain't nobody in the 1:57:45.280 --> 1:57:47.280 bag say mega's that arrogant. You know what I'm saying. 1:57:47.840 --> 1:57:49.840 You see your post when um when he when he 1:57:49.880 --> 1:57:53.640 passed away her And that's what I'm saying, Like I'll 1:57:53.680 --> 1:57:56.960 be losing like I'll be close with people. No, I'm 1:57:57.000 --> 1:57:58.520 not not. Yo. Yeah he was already that was he 1:57:58.600 --> 1:58:01.080 was cool. Now I'm talking about close like tears, like 1:58:01.680 --> 1:58:04.200 you know what I'm saying. So Jack, Jack come to 1:58:04.200 --> 1:58:06.480 New York. We stay in the same hotel like he 1:58:06.600 --> 1:58:07.960 when I'm in the Bay, we stay in the same 1:58:08.040 --> 1:58:10.640 hotel like like he's sleep in my room. Like he'll 1:58:10.760 --> 1:58:13.160 pull out the pull out couch. I gotta sweet. He's 1:58:13.200 --> 1:58:15.680 like we was like cousins. Yo. You know some people 1:58:15.720 --> 1:58:18.240 actually thought with his cousins. So when I did the 1:58:18.320 --> 1:58:23.160 Legal Hustle of compilation album, that was an album gonna 1:58:23.200 --> 1:58:26.640 love this. I did the Legal Hustle compilation album because 1:58:26.640 --> 1:58:30.040 I was trying to help people get on and um. 1:58:31.040 --> 1:58:32.800 That was one of the projects. I did two projects 1:58:32.840 --> 1:58:36.160 where I was trying to help other people. And that 1:58:36.360 --> 1:58:38.280 also says a lot about my character because when I 1:58:38.360 --> 1:58:40.600 did these two albums, it was time for me to 1:58:40.680 --> 1:58:42.800 come out of the album. My fans wanted the mega album, 1:58:43.400 --> 1:58:46.120 and I gave him these projects. So I got lucky 1:58:46.280 --> 1:58:48.120 with Legal Hustle because it was a good album to 1:58:48.160 --> 1:58:51.600 the people, and it helped introduce JACKA.

I know how to 2:05:36.960 --> 2:05:39.040 handle critics. Didn't know what had it in me. Now 2:05:39.120 --> 2:05:41.320 they feel me like a freezing windows Eerie knocks up 2:05:41.360 --> 2:05:44.040 with Driven like a seller series. Another word funk with 2:05:44.160 --> 2:05:47.560 you heard respectus to hearing incredible lyrics severally written Megican 2:05:47.720 --> 2:05:53.560 fit fire. You trying to tell y'all, old funker man, 2:05:54.320 --> 2:05:58.920 this cold motherfucking metals like there was my all these 2:05:59.040 --> 2:06:07.880 nonbelievers men still love the game? Do I still love 2:06:07.920 --> 2:06:09.800 the game? I still love the art. I don't love 2:06:09.880 --> 2:06:13.200 the bullshit the politics. I love the fans. I love 2:06:13.280 --> 2:06:16.400 the art. I don't love the politics and the nonsense 2:06:16.640 --> 2:06:21.440 everything else. When I'm on stage, like like you being around, 2:06:21.560 --> 2:06:23.120 I could be the quietest person in the crab, but 2:06:23.120 --> 2:06:25.080 when I get on stage is something. It just does 2:06:25.160 --> 2:06:28.000 something to me. I love that feeling or being on stage, 2:06:28.640 --> 2:06:33.960 and I love creating rhyms and like pushing myself to 2:06:34.320 --> 2:06:41.320 uh to outdo myself and um not live off the 2:06:41.360 --> 2:06:43.680 past strength. Like at the end of the day, I 2:06:43.760 --> 2:06:46.560 like having a I love being underrated. That's my secret 2:06:46.720 --> 2:06:49.760 because when you underrated, people know you're good, but some 2:06:49.920 --> 2:06:52.240 people aren't. You aren't getting the credit you deserve and 2:06:52.320 --> 2:06:54.560 as long as I'm underrated, that's gonna make me go harder. 2:06:55.280 --> 2:07:00.600 So it's like one thing I say about myself, like 2:07:00.720 --> 2:07:04.960 whenever I'm on a song, whenever I do a feature 2:07:05.000 --> 2:07:09.720 on somebody's project, I try to shine. And there's different 2:07:09.760 --> 2:07:13.040 ways to shine that artists need to learn. It ain't 2:07:13.080 --> 2:07:15.720 all about trying to outdo somebody in the song. You 2:07:15.800 --> 2:07:17.800 can shine without trying to outdo somebody. Just make the 2:07:17.840 --> 2:07:21.040 song good. So it's like, say what you want about me. 2:07:21.840 --> 2:07:24.880 But every single song that I'm on with a with 2:07:25.000 --> 2:07:27.920 a Dope Artist is one of the highlights of that album, 2:07:29.400 --> 2:07:34.360 A front of Action. It was h and I see 2:07:34.880 --> 2:07:37.920 that song, Um three, I'm on the bench, how eating 2:07:37.960 --> 2:07:41.880 Checker Wings or French Fries? Mark Deep Murder Music, What's 2:07:41.880 --> 2:07:45.600 Your Poison? High Technology album? The High Tech album? All 2:07:45.680 --> 2:07:48.520 I need is you? Um, I'm not even thinking hard 2:07:48.680 --> 2:07:50.360 like every you know what I'm saying every time I'm 2:07:50.400 --> 2:07:54.520 on the show Disease Disease. That's that album is beautiful, 2:07:54.760 --> 2:07:57.040 beautiful album. So it's like when I'm on the song, 2:07:57.240 --> 2:07:59.640 I just try to stand out. I don't try to outshine. 2:08:00.200 --> 2:08:02.880 So when the NAS called you, he didn't say that 2:08:03.000 --> 2:08:06.480 this is a firm record or did he say that. Well, 2:08:06.960 --> 2:08:08.600 like I said, we didn't talk about that. Once we 2:08:08.600 --> 2:08:12.800 started talking about the record, then it wasn't We didn't 2:08:12.840 --> 2:08:16.600 know what it was gonna be like until until we 2:08:16.680 --> 2:08:19.280 got everybody on it, because originally that would have been 2:08:19.320 --> 2:08:23.800 a naza Azy song. That was gonna be anaza As 2:08:23.960 --> 2:08:27.320 record originally. Yeah, so you're saying he wasn't even sure 2:08:27.320 --> 2:08:31.480 if he could get everybody on it, or maybe that 2:08:31.600 --> 2:08:33.640 wasn't even a thought. That wasn't even really good thought. 2:08:34.040 --> 2:08:36.160 It's like, sometimes you're doing something you just want to 2:08:36.200 --> 2:08:39.400 take it, take it somewhere extra, like you know what, 2:08:39.760 --> 2:08:41.480 it'd be great if we could do this, add this 2:08:41.600 --> 2:08:44.080 to it. Yeah, so that's what happened with that. That 2:08:44.160 --> 2:08:48.040 was a nasa As record. And so when you got Diverses, 2:08:48.080 --> 2:08:50.640 you had na I didn't have nobody's first. That's the 2:08:50.680 --> 2:08:52.520 thing about it. That's what made it so dope. And 2:08:52.640 --> 2:08:55.760 I had to really create my I had to create 2:08:55.840 --> 2:09:00.520 my own what's the subject matter? It's about this? So 2:09:00.600 --> 2:09:03.160 I was like, all right, cool, cool, cool, I vibed out. 2:09:03.200 --> 2:09:05.360 I thought about how a z rap, I thought about 2:09:05.400 --> 2:09:09.960 how everybody raps, and then you you um, took Foxy. 2:09:10.000 --> 2:09:12.640 You didn't know Foxy could possibly be on this as well. 2:09:12.760 --> 2:09:14.560 I'm the one. I'm not on contact down, so I 2:09:14.640 --> 2:09:16.000 know if she was gonna be on my side. I said, 2:09:16.040 --> 2:09:21.320 we didn't talk about hold on a minute. So when 2:09:21.360 --> 2:09:27.800 you got contacted, that's when you said, I'm gonna I 2:09:27.880 --> 2:09:33.000 got Foxy too. Well I'm not. I think I'm the 2:09:33.040 --> 2:09:35.400 only one who had a number or something like that. 2:09:36.000 --> 2:09:40.560 I got our number two. Fuck it, so continue drops. 2:09:40.640 --> 2:09:43.080 So like yo, at the end of the day, nas 2:09:43.240 --> 2:09:46.440 Nas gets all the credit for that song because this credit. 2:09:46.520 --> 2:09:49.480 He gets credit for that song for a lot of reasons, 2:09:49.600 --> 2:09:55.440 from from humility standpoint, like think about this for a second. 2:09:55.720 --> 2:09:58.560 A lot of people when they have differences with somebody, 2:09:58.920 --> 2:10:01.520 even when you eat, when you squats, the differences like 2:10:01.560 --> 2:10:03.280 all right, cool, that ship is over. But you know 2:10:04.400 --> 2:10:10.000 you know so. But he like, all right, that ship 2:10:10.120 --> 2:10:14.080 is over. I'm putting my guy on the song. You 2:10:14.120 --> 2:10:15.320 know what I'm saying. He didn't have to do that, 2:10:15.560 --> 2:10:18.320 especially at this point in his career. So for him 2:10:18.360 --> 2:10:22.920 to say, like who you are, come on, I gotta 2:10:23.000 --> 2:10:29.680 pick you up. I can't say that, but go ahead, continue. 2:10:29.720 --> 2:10:32.000 I like your aeologies now I'm just saying, that's what 2:10:32.560 --> 2:10:36.840 That's what I'm saying all of us, Like I like 2:10:37.680 --> 2:10:39.760 that an example. He set the tone, he set an example, 2:10:40.080 --> 2:10:45.920 and it's like, um, that's what I'm like. People just 2:10:45.960 --> 2:10:48.920 gotta be humble, Like that's all I'm saying. Like Nature, 2:10:49.400 --> 2:10:50.640 that's why I wrote the thing on my on my 2:10:50.840 --> 2:10:53.440 my Instagram and it was in Nature. Text me and 2:10:53.480 --> 2:10:55.640 said thank you because I wrote some real ship. You know. 2:10:55.760 --> 2:10:58.520 It's like, you know, the song wasn't done to exclude Nature, 2:10:58.760 --> 2:11:01.400 was thought out all and there's you know, there's no 2:11:01.600 --> 2:11:04.400 there's no be for him or nobody has ill feelings 2:11:04.400 --> 2:11:06.960 to talk him in anything. They just it went full circle. 2:11:07.080 --> 2:11:09.120 Did nobody said there's a firm album coming they might 2:11:09.160 --> 2:11:11.280 not be nothing. You know what I'm saying. It's like 2:11:11.680 --> 2:11:14.440 it's like a moment. Yeah, He's how non started, is 2:11:14.520 --> 2:11:16.360 how he wanted. You know what I'm saying.

And at the 2:11:20.880 --> 2:11:25.120 end of the day, like no rapper has the relationship 2:11:25.200 --> 2:11:27.200 that me and him got, Nobody could take that away, 2:11:27.640 --> 2:11:31.120 Like you know what I'm saying, Like we grew up together. 2:11:31.840 --> 2:11:33.360 You know what I'm saying, Like I got letters from 2:11:33.440 --> 2:11:35.000 him when I was in jail.

And it's crazy. 2:12:33.560 --> 2:12:36.040 The craziest thing is me and him have never done 2:12:36.080 --> 2:12:38.800 a song with just me and him that should proably 2:12:38.800 --> 2:12:45.600 break the internet. Bro, there's no song with just man. Yeah, 2:12:47.560 --> 2:12:49.440 you know what I'm saying. So it's like we never 2:12:49.560 --> 2:12:51.720 realized it, but then we started realizing that when we 2:12:51.800 --> 2:12:54.000 seen an impact, like when we got together at the 2:12:54.080 --> 2:12:57.840 show reunion and people were screaming, going crazy like I've 2:12:57.920 --> 2:13:00.440 never seen no ship like that, And I was like wow, 2:13:00.600 --> 2:13:02.600 and he was like wow, and he's seen more than me. 2:13:02.680 --> 2:13:04.760 He's he's you know what I'm saying. So it's like, 2:13:05.520 --> 2:13:09.120 just so you know, I texted him twenty seconds later 2:13:09.240 --> 2:13:12.840 he said, uh, kind of FaceTime with a mean he 2:13:13.000 --> 2:13:16.200 asks to do this. Yeah, that's my guy. Man, that's 2:13:16.240 --> 2:13:18.720 my guy. That's real ship. That's like, listen, I'll be 2:13:19.320 --> 2:13:23.960 chastising him, but he asked. He said, you got Meca today, 2:13:24.240 --> 2:13:26.440 you know, you know, you know that's beautiful. That's let's 2:13:26.520 --> 2:13:32.520 make some noise of notes. Come on, he said, is 2:13:32.560 --> 2:13:40.040 it is? Megan ready? So you got no the most 2:13:40.120 --> 2:13:44.040 compared guests we've ever had. Let me tell you some y. 2:13:44.360 --> 2:13:46.720 I came home on the pill with no lawyer. So 2:13:46.760 --> 2:13:51.600 you're talking about you know what I'm saying. Time back, 2:13:52.440 --> 2:13:56.600 I'm prepared, bro, but especially like if I'm right, if 2:13:56.640 --> 2:13:58.840 I know him right, like you know what I'm saying. 2:13:58.920 --> 2:14:01.760 If I'm right, if I'm wrong, then I'm gonna take 2:14:01.800 --> 2:14:03.320 it in and I'll be like, you know what, he's right. 2:14:03.400 --> 2:14:05.840 But if you're painting a picture of me that's inconsistent 2:14:05.920 --> 2:14:08.040 off you. If you're wrong about something, I'm gonna I'm 2:14:08.080 --> 2:14:10.839 gonna come prepared. And I we're talking about particular situation, 2:14:11.840 --> 2:14:13.720 like that's why I can't prepared to this, because I 2:14:13.800 --> 2:14:16.080 knew you just gonna bring up certain things. And I remember, 2:14:16.480 --> 2:14:18.960 like when you think of all the stigmas associated with 2:14:19.040 --> 2:14:21.720 my name, it never came from me. It came from 2:14:21.800 --> 2:14:24.680 other people. Or when you think of how you said 2:14:25.040 --> 2:14:26.760 when you when you think about it, like damn, why 2:14:26.800 --> 2:14:28.880 didn't not like Mega? Or why didn't Mega not like me? 2:14:29.200 --> 2:14:31.120 When I never e said that. Somebody else told you 2:14:31.240 --> 2:14:33.680 I don't like you, just like somebody told me, no, 2:14:33.840 --> 2:14:36.960 we don't like you. I never know, And I'm yeah, 2:14:36.960 --> 2:14:39.200 it's strong, you know me. I'm very vocal. I'm I'm 2:14:39.240 --> 2:14:41.240 not I'm transparent.

And we did a lot 2:14:47.400 --> 2:14:50.160 of ship together and there's there's been funny situations and 2:14:50.640 --> 2:14:54.920 real situations. Just like you know the DJ. Remember the 2:14:55.000 --> 2:14:56.840 DJ you get from the pass and then do you 2:14:56.840 --> 2:15:05.960 remember man? We should do the DJ. Man in the world, 2:15:06.400 --> 2:15:09.200 every DJ, he feels like he gotta protect you, gotta 2:15:09.800 --> 2:15:14.560 say no name. But I'm just saying, like Noah, and 2:15:14.640 --> 2:15:18.960 I'm glad, like I'm glad with all of us is 2:15:19.000 --> 2:15:23.560 at in life because you know why, there's a lot 2:15:23.640 --> 2:15:26.680 of people doing bad. That's what I'm saying. And that's why, 2:15:28.040 --> 2:15:33.200 um that brings me, that makes me humble. That ship, Yo, 2:15:33.280 --> 2:15:36.800 it's a COVID.

So I just feel 2:18:53.200 --> 2:18:59.400 when doing that because I feel like everything in my 2:18:59.600 --> 2:19:05.440 life has been given to me by these fans, Like 2:19:06.160 --> 2:19:11.120 my lifestyle, it's been given to me by these fans. 2:19:11.240 --> 2:19:17.920 I expect that.

But um, my fans are given me so much. 2:20:02.000 --> 2:20:05.120 Some my fans are given me so much. Sometimes I 2:20:05.240 --> 2:20:11.720 actually feel like, damn, is this really how it feels like? YO, 2:20:12.080 --> 2:20:17.880 like to wake up and be like wow, my my, my, 2:20:18.120 --> 2:20:21.680 Like my bills just paid, Like everything is my fans 2:20:21.800 --> 2:20:23.840 did this by the grace of God and my fans. 2:20:24.160 --> 2:20:27.720 So it's like I just feel with charging them for 2:20:27.760 --> 2:20:31.120 something when they pay for everything else with YO. When 2:20:31.160 --> 2:20:33.200 I did the U and sneakers originally, I never wore 2:20:33.240 --> 2:20:35.680 your sneakers in my fucking life. When I originally did 2:20:35.760 --> 2:20:38.320 this sneaker, I did it because it was a challenge, 2:20:39.680 --> 2:20:41.200 you know what I'm saying. I said, let me see 2:20:41.200 --> 2:20:44.080 if I could do it. Like if I I made it, 2:20:44.959 --> 2:20:49.280 I liked it. Fans boarded up. So I made a book. 2:20:49.600 --> 2:20:52.800 Fans everything I do, they buy it. I mean clothes, 2:20:52.840 --> 2:20:55.360 they buy it. So it's like, damn, I feel like 2:20:55.440 --> 2:20:59.480 I owed them something because they you gotta you gotta figure. 2:21:00.760 --> 2:21:05.520 We've been in a COVID, right how many I don't know, 2:21:06.040 --> 2:21:08.000 for whatever a matter of month it was we was 2:21:08.040 --> 2:21:15.680 in the COVID, and during the COVID. During the COVID, 2:21:17.640 --> 2:21:27.120 I've been like, I haven't done that one show. I 2:21:27.280 --> 2:21:31.040 turned down no exaggeration. I can show you in my joint. 2:21:31.080 --> 2:21:34.640 I probably turned down like thirty features to ship. Do 2:21:34.800 --> 2:21:37.920 we believe it? Because your notice remarkable? Oh yeah, so 2:21:38.840 --> 2:21:47.760 so so. But I'm still sustained, Like think about it. 2:21:48.840 --> 2:21:50.560 I quote when you when we quote, I was like, 2:21:51.240 --> 2:21:54.480 I was like, what's what's what's what's clear? And I 2:21:54.600 --> 2:21:58.320 just came out here it was like, like it's really 2:21:58.440 --> 2:22:01.440 like all of this ship is from fans this so 2:22:01.640 --> 2:22:04.240 they're taking care of me. It's like I'm doing my 2:22:04.320 --> 2:22:06.040 part and they're doing their part. So I I just 2:22:06.160 --> 2:22:09.000 feel weird charging them for a drop after they've done 2:22:09.040 --> 2:22:12.120 so much for me. Like I got my whole I 2:22:12.200 --> 2:22:15.040 renovated my whole house during the COVID. I got all 2:22:15.120 --> 2:22:20.680 new floors and everything. No, cap I don't, I don't. 2:22:20.680 --> 2:22:24.200 I don't sell drugs. So I just feel like I old, 2:22:25.640 --> 2:22:27.440 I really cared about my fans. Yo, I cried on this. 2:22:27.640 --> 2:22:29.960 I cried on the stage in Boston before you know 2:22:29.959 --> 2:22:33.360 what I'm saying. I cried because because they loved me 2:22:33.480 --> 2:22:38.360 so much. And it's like, bro, I defied the odds. 2:22:38.440 --> 2:22:45.600 Nor I defied the odds. Bro. I like I debuted 2:22:45.600 --> 2:22:49.800 in the nineties and I'm still here right now. If 2:22:49.840 --> 2:22:51.360 I say, yo, I got an album coming out in 2:22:51.400 --> 2:22:55.400 the summer, people do get excited.

Also, he pushes me, 2:25:17.879 --> 2:25:19.960 He pushes me. You know what I'm saying as an artist. 2:25:20.480 --> 2:25:24.000 You know what I'm saying. And how come you acting 2:25:24.040 --> 2:25:28.760 like you drunk and you ain't drinking. You got I 2:25:28.760 --> 2:25:41.800 don't need that. So um Jay. I like how Jake 2:25:42.200 --> 2:25:47.720 carries himself for our culture, like he makes us we 2:25:48.000 --> 2:25:51.600 we all we have a proud figure representative in him. 2:25:52.200 --> 2:25:54.880 When he goes in boardrooms, when he's in places where 2:25:54.920 --> 2:25:58.600 we have no business and our institutions that are beyond ours, 2:25:58.879 --> 2:26:02.840 our spectrum or or scope, He's making us look good. 2:26:03.280 --> 2:26:09.120 He's empowerment, he's inspiring economically, things like that. So that 2:26:09.560 --> 2:26:16.280 that I mind about him, um um his competitiveness and 2:26:17.560 --> 2:26:24.160 and you know how he represents for New York. You 2:26:24.200 --> 2:26:26.040 know what I'm saying. All right now, now, what was 2:26:26.080 --> 2:26:28.040 the next one on this one? I'm I'm going different 2:26:28.760 --> 2:26:35.720 rock Shan, Sean Tay or Foxy Brown. Oh god man, 2:26:37.440 --> 2:26:42.400 this dude right here. Man, they're both families. You gotta 2:26:42.440 --> 2:26:45.360 pick one. You gotta take a stance. Just people trying 2:26:45.360 --> 2:26:50.880 to get me an argument. They both families. I'm gonna 2:26:50.959 --> 2:26:52.480 this is the last one. Let you get away with 2:26:52.920 --> 2:27:00.240 this one. You better be definitive, Major or Independent? Made 2:27:00.280 --> 2:27:07.280 your independent. I'm gonna be definitive again. No, you're gonna 2:27:07.280 --> 2:27:09.560 be definitive, be some trinitive or you want me to 2:27:09.600 --> 2:27:13.800 pick one. He wants to please be defended about which 2:27:13.800 --> 2:27:24.880 one you? I would say independent? If all right, let's 2:27:24.920 --> 2:27:28.520 just say somebody has no passion for wrap, They really 2:27:28.520 --> 2:27:30.640 don't want to wrap, but they get a little hot 2:27:32.320 --> 2:27:34.080 fucking go to Major get your money because you don't 2:27:34.080 --> 2:27:36.720 give a funk about it anyway. But if you're passionate 2:27:36.760 --> 2:27:39.720 about it and you want to own your ship, independent 2:27:39.959 --> 2:27:43.600 is the way, especially now the playing game has been 2:27:44.040 --> 2:27:47.600 even you can go get you do yourself. Like anything 2:27:47.680 --> 2:27:50.080 that the Major can put you on, you could do 2:27:50.160 --> 2:27:53.360 it yourself. And if you do your money the right way, 2:27:54.440 --> 2:27:56.200 you can market yourself. So now you don't have to 2:27:56.240 --> 2:27:59.080 go to them for their money. Like you self. If 2:27:59.120 --> 2:28:03.440 I self t let's it, I could sell. You can 2:28:03.480 --> 2:28:07.480 sell twenty thousand records and make two hundred dollars if 2:28:07.520 --> 2:28:09.480 you do it the right way. So if you just 2:28:09.560 --> 2:28:11.880 make a two dollars a year, if you had to draw, 2:28:11.959 --> 2:28:13.879 make a two h year, your whole family be proud 2:28:13.920 --> 2:28:16.360 of you. So if you could do an album making 2:28:16.440 --> 2:28:20.240 so twenty thousand, you know what I'm saying, Well, let's 2:28:20.240 --> 2:28:24.920 just sayn is some expense. You can make two hundre 2:28:24.959 --> 2:28:29.400 thousand or very album. So if you three sixty deals, 2:28:29.480 --> 2:28:33.320 no never, but independent if you gotta, if you gotta, 2:28:33.480 --> 2:28:35.320 if you got your own bus and your own following, 2:28:35.400 --> 2:28:39.400 Independent is the way you have to explain that because 2:28:39.440 --> 2:28:44.680 a lot of people, and I'm one of them, like 2:28:44.800 --> 2:28:48.480 I hate Independent. I'll because of the era that you 2:28:48.560 --> 2:28:53.120 were in the Major. I live over the Independent, but 2:28:53.240 --> 2:28:55.920 I hate it. I'm gonna tell you why, because you 2:28:58.000 --> 2:29:01.000 it's like being born into wealth and then your parents 2:29:01.000 --> 2:29:02.720 takes all the money. Said, now go get it for 2:29:02.800 --> 2:29:06.280 yourself and show me what you can earn. Because when 2:29:06.280 --> 2:29:08.360 you're in the major, your paper two. You came here too. 2:29:08.959 --> 2:29:11.400 That's the funish in the world. You wake up, you 2:29:11.440 --> 2:29:13.720 know we're doing. You're going to the studio, you get 2:29:13.800 --> 2:29:16.000 a car service to the studio, you're having fun in there, 2:29:16.080 --> 2:29:18.280 you're doing, You're catered to. They're gonna send a car, 2:29:18.320 --> 2:29:20.560 they're gonna sendbody pick you up from the airport. They're 2:29:20.560 --> 2:29:24.720 gonna do this, everything, everything, everything is given to you. 2:29:25.160 --> 2:29:29.160 And it's more when you independent, it's more legwork, it's 2:29:29.200 --> 2:29:32.160 more grun it's like undependent to show you who you 2:29:32.240 --> 2:29:35.360 really are. But independent, it depends on how bad you 2:29:35.520 --> 2:29:38.320 want the ownership versus not owning it. And that's why 2:29:38.360 --> 2:29:39.720 I never went back to a major. I could have 2:29:39.760 --> 2:29:42.160 went back after Yo, bro, look at my albums. The 2:29:42.160 --> 2:29:45.040 realness a true meaning that ship like even when you 2:29:45.080 --> 2:29:47.000 look at the hot artists now that's coming out from 2:29:47.040 --> 2:29:50.199 New York, ain't none of them so more than more 2:29:50.240 --> 2:29:51.600 than not there with the truth. If you take the 2:29:51.640 --> 2:29:54.720 true meant in the real together pro a, nobody did that. 2:29:55.920 --> 2:29:58.800 The hottest motherfucker's they do that. You know what I'm saying. 2:29:59.440 --> 2:30:01.879 But but it's a lot of hard work. But also 2:30:02.600 --> 2:30:04.760 we have so much things in our favor now. I 2:30:04.800 --> 2:30:08.480 didn't have social media back then, YouTube wasn't there, so 2:30:08.720 --> 2:30:11.560 and digital going digital myself where you get the money yourself. 2:30:12.320 --> 2:30:15.440 Now we now we learned how to utilize merchandise, and 2:30:15.560 --> 2:30:18.480 people like your staff, they will to wear your staff, 2:30:18.879 --> 2:30:21.680 you know what I'm saying. So it's like, we have 2:30:21.879 --> 2:30:24.760 all these things that benefit us. That's why labels try 2:30:24.800 --> 2:30:26.840 to get three sixty deals because they want in on 2:30:26.959 --> 2:30:29.520 some of that too. So it's like if you got 2:30:29.600 --> 2:30:32.560 your own, like say Drake, Like say Drake right now, 2:30:33.760 --> 2:30:36.920 Drake independent right now, he don't need a label, you 2:30:36.959 --> 2:30:40.240 know what I'm saying. He probably is, do you know 2:30:40.240 --> 2:30:43.440 what I'm saying, because he's already built. He's already a 2:30:43.520 --> 2:30:45.680 brand and he knows. So it's like ship like that, 2:30:45.959 --> 2:30:48.440 you don't need a major. No more like majors are 2:30:48.520 --> 2:30:52.520 really artists are doing. Artists are keeping majors open. I 2:30:52.600 --> 2:30:54.959 think that most most of these artists, and even where 2:30:54.959 --> 2:30:58.480 he's coming from is the look is to look to look. 2:30:59.280 --> 2:31:02.039 They're definitely gonna, they decinitely gonna. They they got that machine. 2:31:02.320 --> 2:31:05.560 But independent, you can the guy that's looking big and 2:31:05.640 --> 2:31:08.360 the guy that's under the radar is making the same 2:31:08.440 --> 2:31:10.840 with more money. Exact what they're not a lot of 2:31:10.879 --> 2:31:14.040 people don't understand it. Trust men, I know, I definitely know. 2:31:14.120 --> 2:31:16.800 I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree 2:31:16.840 --> 2:31:18.760 with you. But you gotta watch what you do in 2:31:18.800 --> 2:31:20.760 the business period because you can get screwed in the 2:31:20.800 --> 2:31:25.120 independent business, right you gotta. Yeah, you gotta people gotta 2:31:25.280 --> 2:31:28.600 um like the younger dudes getting in the game, keeping 2:31:28.640 --> 2:31:31.000 it real with your with your man's and all of that. 2:31:31.560 --> 2:31:34.520 It's cool, but you gotta keep it real with yourself too. Um. 2:31:34.800 --> 2:31:37.600 You gotta get your representation, get you a good lawyer. 2:31:38.120 --> 2:31:42.240 You gotta know your paperwork. You gotta and if you 2:31:42.320 --> 2:31:44.680 don't know these things, and you're gonna get screwed. And 2:31:44.760 --> 2:31:47.240 you gotta three six yourself in a sense. Yeah, you 2:31:47.320 --> 2:31:50.760 gotta be able to monetize everything. Yeah, you can do 2:31:51.400 --> 2:31:55.400 your shows, your merch, your your your streams and your physicals, 2:31:55.720 --> 2:31:59.440 all of that. So the new project, we haven't talked 2:31:59.480 --> 2:32:04.440 about it because pleaple. Yet let's go into it. Well 2:32:06.080 --> 2:32:08.959 yet to come out. The joint that UM has played 2:32:09.000 --> 2:32:12.320 a little while ago is like a bat your unreleased joint. 2:32:12.600 --> 2:32:15.760 You said, that's the one that Pope would be proud of. Yeah, 2:32:15.959 --> 2:32:19.160 that's just bars, but it's the cadast reminded me of 2:32:19.240 --> 2:32:21.560 pun as well as when I said, be proud of it. 2:32:22.400 --> 2:32:27.840 Um I ben aggressive aggressive lyrically aggressive. Um I haven't 2:32:27.879 --> 2:32:33.720 done it anywhile. So sometimes as an artist you lose 2:32:33.760 --> 2:32:37.879 your hunger and the fans noticed, so that that joint. 2:32:37.920 --> 2:32:40.240 But that joint been sitting in my stash.

You know, 2:33:51.280 --> 2:33:54.320 I'm not a great reader. The only thing that comes 2:33:54.920 --> 2:34:00.240 overnight is the moon. The sex doesn't happen over night. 2:34:00.760 --> 2:34:07.480 It takes many mores to reach your success reading room. 2:34:08.280 --> 2:34:12.840 Read next one. When you play both sides, you're always 2:34:12.920 --> 2:34:24.680 caught in the middle. Broy you English, though, your hand 2:34:24.760 --> 2:34:30.520 gotta be dry. Yeah, make sure you got this, bro, 2:34:30.680 --> 2:34:41.480 you got this? Or is easier to let me read 2:34:41.520 --> 2:34:51.440 that one? Let a little bit about I said in 2:34:51.520 --> 2:34:54.760 a word for the poor people, wealth is easier to 2:34:54.840 --> 2:34:57.920 achieve than peace and equality due to the poor character 2:34:58.120 --> 2:35:04.280 of the wealthy. Wow, it courts. I'm just reading quotes 2:35:04.280 --> 2:35:07.080 from my book and I tagged it because that's like 2:35:07.240 --> 2:35:10.080 bossk Yatt used to do it. So now I'm gonna 2:35:10.879 --> 2:35:15.520 it courts absolutely nothing to pay how much? That's what 2:35:15.640 --> 2:35:18.800 drink Champ says. By the way, hold on, stop what what?

I feel like you should tag drink 2:35:24.040 --> 2:35:29.000 Champs at that point. That's what we do. We pay dagnes, 2:35:29.200 --> 2:35:33.400 that's what we do. Bo came out yet that's what 2:35:33.520 --> 2:35:35.400 it's gonna look it's gonna look that it is hard. 2:35:35.440 --> 2:35:39.640 You're gonna see my writing too like that. This is 2:35:39.680 --> 2:35:42.840 my last one that I read. Never confused real love 2:35:42.920 --> 2:35:45.720 or conditional love. One will lift you up, the other 2:35:45.760 --> 2:35:48.960 will bring you down. So this book is just gyms 2:35:50.840 --> 2:35:53.600 getting money, getting money? Is it art? A lot of 2:35:53.680 --> 2:35:56.640 people paint the town and years later can't break the 2:35:56.720 --> 2:35:59.800 reality that their color schemes have faded or been rep 2:36:00.280 --> 2:36:03.040 by grand schemes that can stand the test of time. 2:36:04.720 --> 2:36:11.960 So damn, that's got to make noise. Being at the 2:36:12.000 --> 2:36:14.680 Black Book. I recommend you calling at the Black because 2:36:14.720 --> 2:36:16.240 you know why the Black Book is a double on 2:36:16.440 --> 2:36:19.400 contra because obviously you're proud to be black. Were all 2:36:19.440 --> 2:36:24.640 proud to be black. But in graffiti, that's that is 2:36:24.680 --> 2:36:28.880 an actual art to like like like when I wrote graffiti, 2:36:29.280 --> 2:36:31.240 I would go to a hundred and eighth street, I 2:36:31.360 --> 2:36:36.160 go I go to I wrote graffiti, so I would 2:36:36.200 --> 2:36:41.400 go to them and I would have to back right 2:36:42.000 --> 2:36:45.960 so and then act, are you supposed to get me 2:36:46.080 --> 2:36:49.320 to say, yo, listen or you give me two two pages? 2:36:49.800 --> 2:36:53.320 And anybody else who funk with you you give pages. 2:36:54.480 --> 2:36:57.640 See I'm learning about you. I gotta get a hatset. 2:36:57.680 --> 2:37:04.119 You gave me this compliment to look I was gonna 2:37:04.160 --> 2:37:09.280 do to you. Ain't taka Listen. I was thinking our 2:37:09.320 --> 2:37:11.280 corning out the Black book, but I have another so 2:37:11.680 --> 2:37:13.840 and then every book I have a different color because 2:37:13.879 --> 2:37:16.720 there's a blue book. So I'm gonna keep hitting people 2:37:16.840 --> 2:37:19.080 quote because I noticed, like my some of the things 2:37:19.120 --> 2:37:21.080 that I said. One of my quotes went platinum on 2:37:21.200 --> 2:37:24.400 your show. Uh, some people are morally. Some people are 2:37:24.400 --> 2:37:27.680 financially rich, but morally, I'll see that ship all over 2:37:27.680 --> 2:37:34.440 the hand. There's not much did I'll be seeings that 2:37:34.520 --> 2:37:37.320 on so so. So I just wrote a whole book 2:37:37.320 --> 2:37:39.760 of quotes, and that's not even my first book of quotes. 2:37:40.080 --> 2:37:42.160 But this black one, I've said, you know what, I 2:37:42.200 --> 2:37:44.480 wanted to be personal. I wanted to be in my handwriting. 2:37:44.720 --> 2:37:47.840 So when this comes out, you'll see it in my handwriting. 2:37:48.200 --> 2:37:50.560 And man, the guard just got on the book deal. 2:37:50.680 --> 2:37:54.240 You know, I know him vaguely.

Look at kore Megan's allegend, kore 2:42:09.120 --> 2:42:15.240 Megan's allegen. You made that happen, Komaga. I was in 2:42:15.360 --> 2:42:18.680 the phone with Camerain yesterday and cho today. This is 2:42:18.760 --> 2:42:23.280 all love in your life. Don't want to do I think, 2:42:23.440 --> 2:42:25.360 thank you see this type of ship we do. Yes, 2:42:25.879 --> 2:42:28.960 but I've always been on this color timebody said that. 2:42:29.320 --> 2:42:33.160 Nobody said I'm saying nobody said that, but that was dope. 2:42:34.320 --> 2:42:38.760 We spoke to nas, but I want that video, which 2:42:38.800 --> 2:42:46.199 one that motherfucker video hopefully King's disease album we didn't 2:42:46.200 --> 2:42:48.080 a stop to. If y'all talked about that. Now you 2:42:48.160 --> 2:42:50.440 said you can't talk about I mean, I don't like 2:42:50.520 --> 2:42:52.720 talking about That's not really my business to talk about. 2:42:52.760 --> 2:42:55.560 That's nos album. Yeah, but he said at the end 2:42:55.560 --> 2:42:58.360 of the day, like if he says there's no there's 2:42:58.400 --> 2:43:00.280 no video, there's no video. If he said that video, 2:43:00.280 --> 2:43:03.440 there's a video. So all I can do is I'm like, 2:43:03.560 --> 2:43:07.680 you're on that. I don't know. I want if it happens, 2:43:07.680 --> 2:43:11.000 it happens. I'm just some you like the song. Obviously 2:43:12.520 --> 2:43:15.400 I didn't think. I didn't. I didn't expect it. I'm 2:43:15.440 --> 2:43:21.120 gonna be honest. I didn't expect it. I didn't. I 2:43:21.200 --> 2:43:23.120 just I just wanted to I know what's gonna happen. 2:43:23.120 --> 2:43:25.080 I didn't say that. It was like one of those 2:43:25.080 --> 2:43:29.880 things I can hold a secret. Um. I try to 2:43:29.920 --> 2:43:32.640 get people hints, but not too much hints where I 2:43:32.720 --> 2:43:36.040 give it away. It's like, you know, like people see 2:43:36.080 --> 2:43:38.600 me like in his post and they thought we had issues, 2:43:39.080 --> 2:43:41.120 so like setting like, you know, I always give people 2:43:41.120 --> 2:43:45.000 a little subliminal hints, but I won't give it away. Um, 2:43:46.080 --> 2:43:48.800 so you know it's it's it's it's all good man. 2:43:48.800 --> 2:43:50.560 I feel good. I didn't like you already got the 2:43:50.640 --> 2:43:54.160 video plan the way you're just talking. I mean, I'm like, 2:43:54.240 --> 2:44:00.879 he just gave like there's another projects a good y'all 2:44:00.920 --> 2:44:07.160 pish it, y'all pish it. I feel like I don't listen. 2:44:07.200 --> 2:44:10.480 I'm gonna keep it a hundred percent with you. As 2:44:10.560 --> 2:44:15.560 far as a video, um, you're kind of giving it 2:44:15.640 --> 2:44:21.520 away right now there perhaps could be as far as 2:44:21.560 --> 2:44:26.279 the album Right now, my main focus is the Rulness 2:44:26.320 --> 2:44:29.080 part too. I can let you hearry, but I don't 2:44:29.080 --> 2:44:30.520 want to play it on the air, yeah, because we're 2:44:30.520 --> 2:44:34.800 gonna definitely it's nobody and biting my ship. They don't 2:44:34.840 --> 2:44:37.119 want to admit it. I definitely got playing that ship, 2:44:37.720 --> 2:44:40.120 so um yeah, the Runors part too is my main priority. 2:44:40.440 --> 2:44:45.160 Already started on it. Um. I got the unreleased music 2:44:45.280 --> 2:44:47.240 that I played. That's that's not from the Runess either. 2:44:47.600 --> 2:44:51.920 But the Rulings Proud part too, ah yo, dogs, I'm 2:44:52.040 --> 2:44:54.120 so proud of ye. I'm gonna start sending you joint 2:44:54.240 --> 2:44:56.360 like I'm gonna let you here some ship I'm in 2:44:56.480 --> 2:44:59.720 my bag. It sounds like but if your guys was 2:45:00.000 --> 2:45:02.880 you are firm? Are two weird? It's done the way 2:45:03.000 --> 2:45:05.480 you want. I don't know should be part two, it 2:45:05.480 --> 2:45:11.160 should just be starting fresh. I just think, I just 2:45:11.200 --> 2:45:17.240 think everybody. I think. I just think, Uh, I don't 2:45:17.240 --> 2:45:19.200 know if we do another one you want it or 2:45:19.320 --> 2:45:24.200 but no before like y'all together, that ship just sounded 2:45:24.280 --> 2:45:28.360 so naturally like I mean it was the combination from 2:45:28.400 --> 2:45:30.960 the jump was just it's I don't know what what 2:45:31.160 --> 2:45:33.520 makes it so amazing, but it's amazing. It's like you 2:45:33.760 --> 2:45:36.280 think you because it's unexpected. Also, people aren't expecting that. 2:45:36.320 --> 2:45:38.320 People don't know what's gonna happen, so it makes it 2:45:38.400 --> 2:45:41.560 easier for you how to make something seamlessly in that sense, 2:45:41.560 --> 2:45:43.400 I don't think. I don't think that because after that 2:45:43.480 --> 2:45:46.120 song everybody was like, we want the album. I just 2:45:46.240 --> 2:45:48.600 think when we get to I just think our chemistry 2:45:48.680 --> 2:45:50.440 is a fan I want to album. I think our 2:45:50.520 --> 2:45:54.320 chemistry is just so unique and maybe the timing is 2:45:54.400 --> 2:45:57.720 perfect too. Sometime the game needs real ship right now. 2:45:58.360 --> 2:46:03.840 So but at the end to day, um, I don't know. 2:46:03.920 --> 2:46:05.760 I'm not gonna say and say there's an album because 2:46:07.120 --> 2:46:09.000 I'm working on my ship. I think you said there's 2:46:09.000 --> 2:46:16.200 a novel. I didn't. We didn't, and I'm worriding mother 2:46:16.280 --> 2:46:25.120 brother six seven. We're started the Brown I don't know. 2:46:26.720 --> 2:46:28.600 It was the realness part too, and the Black Book. 2:46:29.800 --> 2:46:33.360 Black Book. The Black Book is for for dudes that 2:46:33.560 --> 2:46:36.680 that need to think. Sometimes. I like giving jewels to 2:46:36.720 --> 2:46:39.000 the especially you know you know what I mean? When 2:46:39.000 --> 2:46:42.560 I noticed You're never too old or too young for jewels. 2:46:42.640 --> 2:46:44.040 Like some people to be like, we got to school 2:46:44.040 --> 2:46:47.320 the young dudes. There's some old stuffing dudes. Sometimes we 2:46:47.600 --> 2:46:50.360 sometimes we learn from each other. So it's like, Um, 2:46:50.879 --> 2:46:54.240 I'm I'm putting that black book out next month. You 2:46:54.280 --> 2:46:55.920 know what I'm saying. You want to write my ship 2:46:56.040 --> 2:46:58.880 right now, I'll get a different book for that. Okay, 2:46:59.000 --> 2:47:01.000 damn think it.

We do this ship together. 2:47:04.320 --> 2:47:05.920 We're doing for a couple of quotes on your ship. 2:47:06.240 --> 2:47:08.000 I gotta think about it. That we could do. Uh, 2:47:08.640 --> 2:47:12.080 we could do uh. We could do a collaborative shirt. 2:47:13.120 --> 2:47:15.640 You tag on it, our tag on it. Right, you 2:47:15.680 --> 2:47:16.960 know what I'm saying. But I think we need to 2:47:17.000 --> 2:47:22.080 do the quote needs to be a shirt.

But just because I got 2:48:10.160 --> 2:48:14.039 love for you don't mean I gotta funk with you. Jeez, 2:48:14.200 --> 2:48:17.960 that's tough. That's hard to kill.

But it's like that thing was, 2:52:18.000 --> 2:52:20.200 That thing was in my chest, that thing was in 2:52:20.240 --> 2:52:22.400 the back of my head, like damn.

You 2:52:25.280 --> 2:52:27.120 can saying that because you know, most of the time 2:52:27.200 --> 2:52:32.200 people have disagree and they hold grudges. They hold grudges 2:52:32.240 --> 2:52:34.160 in the turkeys, and as you know, they gotta be 2:52:34.280 --> 2:52:37.000 something page and who like you know what I mean, 2:52:37.040 --> 2:52:38.880 pull out of pockets sometimes to go. You know what 2:52:38.879 --> 2:52:40.720 I mean, I'm not big enough. I'm not just big 2:52:40.800 --> 2:52:43.640 for somebody to pull my coley black Listen.

These people 2:53:14.800 --> 2:53:18.280 calling me right now? Okay, No, James Pus and Eric Nix, 2:53:18.360 --> 2:53:22.000 you ready for them. They're calling you together. They're calling together, 2:53:22.080 --> 2:53:29.920 they're calling you podcast boat. We signed it signed podcasts 2:53:31.680 --> 2:53:34.560 never had a contract. Let's get a contract. Let's do this. 2:53:34.720 --> 2:53:41.760 Let's me He's got the best called podcast right now. No, 2:53:42.080 --> 2:53:45.840 the fucking sneaker Sneaker therapy is even tiller.

You know, people feeding for 2:53:53.720 --> 2:53:59.920 me to do a podcast. Yes, we're gonna signs podcasts 2:54:00.480 --> 2:54:05.360 just quote the whole time. So cast. That's kind of 2:54:06.440 --> 2:54:09.320 the only reason I never did a podcast, because I 2:54:09.400 --> 2:54:14.039 told my man, sometimes when you do the same thing 2:54:14.080 --> 2:54:17.360 is somehow you cool with it conflicts sometimes and I 2:54:17.440 --> 2:54:19.760 don't want to be in competition with nobody I'm cool with. 2:54:20.000 --> 2:54:23.000 I'm like, that's no reason, Lane, So I'd rather just 2:54:23.080 --> 2:54:27.960 support no re Goddamn. I respect that. I know what 2:54:28.200 --> 2:54:32.520 people do. It's happened Twitter. We all got to account. 2:54:32.640 --> 2:54:34.640 That's true, but I just didn't want to do it. 2:54:34.640 --> 2:54:37.120 I feel like that, I feel like that's you know what, 2:54:37.240 --> 2:54:38.400 you know what you should do. If you think that 2:54:38.520 --> 2:54:40.680 that's what you shouldn't do, you should do Twitch for 2:54:40.800 --> 2:54:44.520 your fans Twitch Twitch we'll talk off off of this 2:54:44.640 --> 2:54:49.440 then I don't know you do. But it's it's like 2:54:49.520 --> 2:54:52.680 pay per view for them to do whatever you're going 2:54:52.720 --> 2:54:54.840 to do for them on Twitch. Like what I mean, 2:54:54.920 --> 2:54:56.800 talk you talk to them. It's like a podcast. We 2:54:57.000 --> 2:55:00.280 charge me a second. It's independent podcasts. They about it 2:55:00.360 --> 2:55:04.000 that way Twitch twitchy. Let me finish my album first, 2:55:05.760 --> 2:55:07.880 Let me finish my book. We're talking about twitch and 2:55:07.920 --> 2:55:11.120 all that, but no sign sign everybody you need to sign. Man, 2:55:11.120 --> 2:55:14.880 that's good. I mean everybody that came out with the 2:55:14.959 --> 2:55:17.320 podcast after the facts that fact nor he did tell 2:55:17.360 --> 2:55:19.880 me about this like over like two years ago 's 2:55:19.920 --> 2:55:23.080 three FT. You got my two favorite podcasts, right man. 2:55:23.600 --> 2:55:27.280 It's hood Therapy. We throw your sneakers away. Oh my god, 2:55:28.400 --> 2:55:33.240 my favorite shot therapy. Shoot Therapy. It's the same ship. 2:55:33.520 --> 2:55:38.480 Show is not throwing sneaks in the water. It's a second. 2:55:38.800 --> 2:55:41.880 It's a segments the second only yesterday was part of that. 2:55:42.440 --> 2:55:44.360 That was the show, that was the beginning. You was 2:55:44.440 --> 2:55:46.920 a part of the show. It was the part of 2:55:47.000 --> 2:55:50.360 the show. And you know how you know part of 2:55:50.400 --> 2:55:58.320 me for interjecting. No you get interjack, Okay, um, you 2:55:58.400 --> 2:56:03.480 know how you said, like Mega's changed, Like you see 2:56:03.520 --> 2:56:07.000 a change in me. Sometimes people tell you things about yourself. 2:56:07.080 --> 2:56:09.360 You can either be stubborn about it or embrace what 2:56:09.400 --> 2:56:12.040 they're saying and learn from it. Or you know what 2:56:12.080 --> 2:56:15.880 I'm saying, yesterday I noticed a change in myself. Like 2:56:15.920 --> 2:56:20.720 when we were chilling and uh, a bottle fell right 2:56:20.959 --> 2:56:23.480 at the end or glass sign to anybody, remember that 2:56:24.000 --> 2:56:27.400 the glass all right? And then were just leaving and 2:56:27.520 --> 2:56:29.160 I just double back and I went and picked it 2:56:29.280 --> 2:56:32.080 up because there was some old ladies right there. And 2:56:32.160 --> 2:56:34.040 I don't know why, but southern me was like to 2:56:34.080 --> 2:56:35.879 get that because you don't want them ladies get hurt, 2:56:36.800 --> 2:56:39.120 you know what I'm saying. So the old wady just 2:56:39.280 --> 2:56:42.560 last something about you know what I'm saying, Sonning. I 2:56:42.600 --> 2:56:44.840 don't know. I don't know why, but that's just the 2:56:44.879 --> 2:56:46.360 kind of time of more. But at the same time, 2:56:46.440 --> 2:56:48.800 it's like my brother says, it's growth. It's growth, that's real. 2:56:53.000 --> 2:56:55.920 That's the reason why I said that. It's because I 2:56:56.080 --> 2:56:59.160 love the growth. Fitness. That's not the downplay it. It's 2:56:59.240 --> 2:57:04.480 like maybe I credited Islam to it. But if you 2:57:04.600 --> 2:57:09.760 became a better person as I knew you, that's you 2:57:09.800 --> 2:57:12.280 know what I'm saying, what I credited to Islam. So 2:57:12.400 --> 2:57:15.640 that's probably the part of that quote that you didn't like. No, 2:57:15.920 --> 2:57:18.080 I liked it because at the end of the day, 2:57:18.280 --> 2:57:20.480 that's like somebody saying you his grades are better in school. 2:57:20.760 --> 2:57:23.680 I wondered it from him studying or you know. No, 2:57:23.840 --> 2:57:25.960 no matter what you said, it was a compliment, like 2:57:26.080 --> 2:57:29.280 you didn't you know. The only thing, the only thing 2:57:30.080 --> 2:57:32.160 questionable about that whole thing was when he was like, 2:57:32.240 --> 2:57:35.960 I get Mega now and then somebody said does he 2:57:36.080 --> 2:57:39.720 get you? I'm like, here we go. That's a slide. One, 2:57:39.800 --> 2:57:42.760 that's a slide. But I'm in a good place, so 2:57:42.959 --> 2:57:48.080 I will saw that. So um, you know, moving forward. 2:57:50.320 --> 2:57:52.680 Today is a beautiful day. I was. It was ain't 2:57:52.680 --> 2:57:55.080 even coming out. He already know because I called you 2:57:55.840 --> 2:57:58.280 and I've said your bad guy would like you to 2:57:58.400 --> 2:58:03.400 come on because you show with strength. When Steve Style 2:58:03.480 --> 2:58:06.720 came on here, I knew you was mad. I don't 2:58:06.720 --> 2:58:09.720 know if he was mad at you did right about it, Steve. 2:58:10.720 --> 2:58:14.920 I didn't post to him, but it wasn't disrespectful. I 2:58:15.080 --> 2:58:16.720 challenged him. I said, if you want to go to 2:58:16.760 --> 2:58:21.119 any public farm just to speak, and I added him 2:58:21.440 --> 2:58:23.920 like we could, we could talk. And I scared him 2:58:24.000 --> 2:58:25.640 his problem for who he is, because I don't want 2:58:25.640 --> 2:58:27.000 to be for him if he if he wants to 2:58:27.040 --> 2:58:29.879 hold you know, you worked like eighties million dollars or whatever, 2:58:30.280 --> 2:58:32.560 if you worked that much money. He's mad at coret Mega. 2:58:32.800 --> 2:58:35.640 Something that's not right because if I had eight million dollars, 2:58:35.680 --> 2:58:39.280 I wouldn't be thinking about nobody from twenty years ago. 2:58:39.440 --> 2:58:43.400 I wouldn't even remember you. So so my whole thing 2:58:43.560 --> 2:58:46.720 is like I know, my stories is the truth. That's 2:58:46.720 --> 2:58:49.600 the one thing about me. Nobody's gonna say Megan's a liar. 2:58:50.520 --> 2:58:54.360 I'm not lying about nothing. So like like I said, 2:58:55.280 --> 2:58:57.959 had I came with the papers today when when people's 2:58:58.000 --> 2:59:01.000 own words conflicting with you know what I'm saying. So 2:59:01.120 --> 2:59:03.440 it's like I have no issues with Steve at all. 2:59:03.520 --> 2:59:05.960 I respect Steve. Steve is good for the culture. I 2:59:06.080 --> 2:59:08.640 love what he did with for for my man's career. 2:59:09.120 --> 2:59:11.400 He took him, he took him to another level. But 2:59:11.560 --> 2:59:16.200 it's like a part of being blessed is is um 2:59:17.640 --> 2:59:23.480 is um being compassionate and and and understanding where your 2:59:23.520 --> 2:59:25.880 blessings came from, an understanding like you don't have to 2:59:26.480 --> 2:59:29.600 you don't have to stand on people. Yo. Man, all 2:59:29.640 --> 2:59:31.920 you gotta do is reach. You could reach for for 2:59:32.080 --> 2:59:34.320 something without standing on somebody. You don't gotta step on 2:59:34.400 --> 2:59:36.520 people next all the time. And it's like a lot 2:59:36.560 --> 2:59:39.720 of his interviews or wait, shipping on somebody. And this 2:59:39.959 --> 2:59:42.240 is not my opinion. You could You could just do 2:59:42.320 --> 2:59:44.240 your own research. You don't have to shoot on somebody 2:59:44.280 --> 2:59:47.760 every interview. You already shipping on people just by living 2:59:47.800 --> 2:59:50.160 in your lifestyle. You ship and you're doing your thing. 2:59:51.080 --> 2:59:54.560 Just be be a gracious winner. You know what I'm saying, 2:59:54.760 --> 2:59:56.800 because at the end of the day, making me look 2:59:56.879 --> 3:00:00.520 bad like it's if you try to make me look stupid, 3:00:00.560 --> 3:00:03.440 you better be shop as fun because I'm coming with facts. 3:00:03.680 --> 3:00:06.120 And if you say somebody me and it's accurate, I'm 3:00:06.160 --> 3:00:09.400 gonna say you know what, You're right. Oh, and I'm 3:00:09.440 --> 3:00:13.400 man enough to say my bad or I'm sorry. See 3:00:13.800 --> 3:00:18.720 that's the difference between certain people. I don't even certain people. 3:00:20.959 --> 3:00:22.560 You get to a point where you might get to 3:00:22.720 --> 3:00:25.320 this point with certain people. There are some people I 3:00:25.480 --> 3:00:31.440 have drives just with and I'll just fall back because 3:00:31.480 --> 3:00:33.440 sometimes you can let it air out, let it, let 3:00:33.520 --> 3:00:35.760 it fade, and then you come back when cool cooler 3:00:35.800 --> 3:00:39.720 has prevailed. The saying goals. Some people turn small yo 3:00:39.800 --> 3:00:42.520 when you turn an issue. When you treat up issues 3:00:42.760 --> 3:00:46.120 like it's beef, that's something totally different. That's why a 3:00:46.160 --> 3:00:48.840 lot of friendships are funked up because people have they 3:00:48.920 --> 3:00:51.680 have small fallouts, but they handed like it's major beef. 3:00:52.400 --> 3:00:54.360 And when it's major beef's hard to come back to that. 3:00:54.480 --> 3:00:58.800 It's hard to take ship back to that. So so 3:00:59.040 --> 3:01:03.640 certain people I would rather than just fade out the 3:01:03.720 --> 3:01:08.600 picture of my life than to even reconciliate with them. 3:01:08.720 --> 3:01:10.600 Like there's certain people in my life, I mean not 3:01:10.720 --> 3:01:13.160 in my life that were in my life that I'm 3:01:13.240 --> 3:01:15.640 content if I never see them again for the rest 3:01:15.720 --> 3:01:18.560 of my life. Like That's where I'm at with it. 3:01:18.800 --> 3:01:21.600 And no, I don't even got no pep stole because 3:01:21.800 --> 3:01:24.880 to think the crazy thing about Stoff was I'd barely 3:01:25.280 --> 3:01:30.320 I barely see I've probably seen Has. I've seen Has 3:01:31.320 --> 3:01:34.000 more in the last ten years than I've seen Steve. 3:01:34.959 --> 3:01:38.000 I've seen Has in the last five years more than 3:01:38.000 --> 3:01:41.600 I Steve Steen in the last twenty years, so he's 3:01:41.640 --> 3:01:43.880 really not a part of my life. So I shouldn't 3:01:43.879 --> 3:01:48.400 even be in those conversations in the derogatory manner. And 3:01:48.480 --> 3:01:50.960 it's like be a graceful winner. Like even Chris Lie, 3:01:51.640 --> 3:01:55.920 Chris was at some meeting and my name got brought up, right, 3:01:56.760 --> 3:01:59.040 and this is a guy I was signed to and 3:01:59.680 --> 3:02:01.680 and I and I and I got off the label. 3:02:02.280 --> 3:02:06.039 You know what Chris said there was like, yeah, what's Omega? 3:02:06.480 --> 3:02:09.920 And he said, that's the one that got away. That's 3:02:09.959 --> 3:02:14.000 a that's a grateful man. That ship made me respect 3:02:14.120 --> 3:02:17.080 him even more, like like meaning like he he felt 3:02:17.120 --> 3:02:18.560 like he could have did more for you. He said, 3:02:18.560 --> 3:02:20.360 that's the one that got away. Whatever, there's something good 3:02:20.520 --> 3:02:22.160 like you, that's the one that got away. It's like 3:02:22.240 --> 3:02:24.520 having a good woman and you lose up, or like 3:02:24.640 --> 3:02:27.200 having a good friend and having a good investment. You 3:02:27.240 --> 3:02:29.440 didn't invest in it. That's the one that got away. 3:02:29.840 --> 3:02:34.320 So when he said that, my respect for him went up. Charlotte, 3:02:34.320 --> 3:02:36.520 mean to go. You made me look crazy just now, man, 3:02:36.600 --> 3:02:39.520 I called you, we called lies. Everybody picked up. You 3:02:39.680 --> 3:02:44.520 only need ain't picked up. I don't know if I'm 3:02:44.560 --> 3:02:52.480 offended or not. This is Charlott Mane.

Nobody knew 3:03:05.400 --> 3:03:16.640 what work that MTV. But see what's good y'all.

So thank you for that, bro. 3:03:44.600 --> 3:03:47.880 Hold up with Charlomagne. I say that to say, we 3:03:48.000 --> 3:03:54.560 signed in Comega to us, what is that blackctal, the 3:03:54.680 --> 3:03:58.680 book deal, the black effect we got the more we 3:03:59.040 --> 3:04:03.000 were signed them. And you also signed Hood Therapy and 3:04:03.879 --> 3:04:08.039 Smooth Chips as well. Don't worry about that, all right, 3:04:08.080 --> 3:04:12.080 all right, don't worry about that. But you trans podcast 3:04:12.120 --> 3:04:18.760 set work. God dammit.

And no way you're trying to just 3:04:26.200 --> 3:04:29.800 heal you that way. No, you just we're bigger than 3:04:29.800 --> 3:04:32.720 the college because because when you because sometimes I've learned, 3:04:32.840 --> 3:04:35.640 like when you stooped down to people's level, then you 3:04:35.760 --> 3:04:38.800 gotta go down. I'm trying to go up. I'm trying 3:04:38.840 --> 3:04:48.600 to stay up, bro. So it's like we did even 3:04:48.800 --> 3:04:50.880 even the nature thing that we did. I'll say this 3:04:51.000 --> 3:04:56.080 on the air, but you can edit that out. You 3:04:56.160 --> 3:04:58.440 know what I'm saying that from because I'm compassionate now 3:04:58.920 --> 3:05:02.000 and you felt every awkwind it uncomfortable. It was caught 3:05:02.040 --> 3:05:04.360 off guard. He was caught off guard, and you know, 3:05:04.879 --> 3:05:06.720 so we could edit that out, or you could edit 3:05:06.800 --> 3:05:09.520 it in a way where when he was finally up 3:05:09.560 --> 3:05:12.840 to he's like now, you could edit it where he's 3:05:12.920 --> 3:05:17.039 up to speak. I gotta be where do you even 3:05:17.080 --> 3:05:20.680 to think at it at all? And I was sleeping. 3:05:21.959 --> 3:05:24.880 It's with drink Champs. We d into when he knows 3:05:24.959 --> 3:05:26.680 he's on drink Champs. He didn't know he was on 3:05:26.800 --> 3:05:30.560 drink Champs. You could have called me with that or 3:05:30.680 --> 3:05:35.119 like the you could edit it that that it's tied 3:05:35.160 --> 3:05:36.880 it man, it's just and I gave, and I gave, 3:05:36.959 --> 3:05:38.680 and I gave the nice and I gave him a 3:05:38.800 --> 3:05:41.520 nice version of why I felt he should should have 3:05:41.840 --> 3:05:44.960 promoted me, because because the whole version. You know, I 3:05:45.080 --> 3:05:53.640 have paper, no papers, So basically, first of all, these 3:05:53.680 --> 3:06:01.480 are new papers. So basically basically name turn out, turn 3:06:01.520 --> 3:06:05.120 me out, turn out. So there was a show it 3:06:05.280 --> 3:06:14.400 and not I not. They gave me free ring Mega. 3:06:14.920 --> 3:06:16.880 We want you to do a show. You're the headliner. 3:06:17.600 --> 3:06:20.960 Put who you want on the show. We're gonna fly 3:06:21.120 --> 3:06:24.440 them out here. We're gonna pay them to hand to accommodation. 3:06:24.480 --> 3:06:27.120 Then we're gonna get them close. I'm putting Nature in 3:06:27.240 --> 3:06:31.320 rock Mantiano. Nature made money. Then I had another show 3:06:31.360 --> 3:06:34.800 in Massachusetts. I'm putting nat show on the show. And 3:06:35.000 --> 3:06:39.040 then after the show, he says, December eighteenth, it's Christmas time. 3:06:39.080 --> 3:06:41.680 I don't celebrate Christmas. Took five hundred out of my 3:06:41.760 --> 3:06:44.240 pay and added it to his. You know what I'm saying. 3:06:44.520 --> 3:06:46.840 So this is the type of time I'm on. When 3:06:46.879 --> 3:06:50.080 I tell you I'll do real ship, I put thousands 3:06:50.120 --> 3:06:52.080 in this man pocket. So if I asked you to 3:06:52.160 --> 3:06:55.800 post a picture so I could be a little offended 3:06:56.400 --> 3:06:58.560 if you're gonna post the picture if I gave you thousands. 3:06:59.200 --> 3:07:01.240 It's not like I'm just feeling it title for you 3:07:01.320 --> 3:07:03.160 to post my picture, like show me love like I 3:07:03.280 --> 3:07:06.320 show you love. So that's what I'm saying. The selfish 3:07:06.720 --> 3:07:11.520 climate amongst us, all queeze niggers just playing quez. I 3:07:11.560 --> 3:07:13.160 kind of feel Trump hit him up to see if 3:07:13.200 --> 3:07:26.760 you had so not so all one that smoke. So basically, 3:07:26.840 --> 3:07:28.960 all I'm saying is you like Trump, know that you 3:07:29.080 --> 3:07:33.000 like Trump. I don't like politics. I don't like politics. 3:07:33.040 --> 3:07:34.760 Don't think about it. I don't like politics because this 3:07:34.840 --> 3:07:37.680 is a dirty game and Biden Biden us and all 3:07:37.680 --> 3:07:39.840 about homies to jail. Before it was like, you're saying 3:07:39.879 --> 3:07:42.960 you like Trump, I'm saying Trump is a I don't. 3:07:43.520 --> 3:07:46.240 I don't like that. I don't I would let me 3:07:46.280 --> 3:07:51.680 do it. I'm not. I'm not positive. Bernie Sanders yeah yeah, 3:07:51.760 --> 3:07:54.480 I mean, buns would have been dug. I want to listen. 3:07:54.760 --> 3:08:00.640 Here's my ticket, Bernie Sanders and Michelle Obama. Oh yeah, 3:08:00.760 --> 3:08:03.680 Michelle could have ran. Sheelle Obama and Bernie Sanders as 3:08:03.760 --> 3:08:07.880 vice president. I like that. That would have been that 3:08:08.280 --> 3:08:10.040 she wasn't. She don't if she don't want to, she don't. 3:08:10.160 --> 3:08:13.840 Selle Obama and Bernie Sanders they want to bring out 3:08:14.480 --> 3:08:16.959 Michelle would have won if she would have ran. I'm 3:08:17.000 --> 3:08:20.000 on that kind of time. Oh man, you know what 3:08:20.000 --> 3:08:27.720 I'm saying? Or Easy maybe? I mean if Easy ran, 3:08:27.840 --> 3:08:30.200 if Easy really runs our around, would vote for fuck it? 3:08:30.280 --> 3:08:36.360 We're vote for everybody else. Yeah, ur And who's gonna 3:08:36.400 --> 3:08:39.360 be the body's president? I feel like it's me at 3:08:39.440 --> 3:08:44.240 this point, you know, you know, look at this point. Yeah, 3:08:44.280 --> 3:08:45.640 I'm gonna change you that I gonna be in there. 3:08:48.440 --> 3:08:51.440 They definitely don't want me to be the restident, so 3:08:51.520 --> 3:08:54.800 they're gonna let this Nike live after jeez, I don't 3:08:54.840 --> 3:09:04.080 know why I went there, but you're running homes. Yeah, 3:09:04.160 --> 3:09:06.200 but back and this is a pleasure, bro. You know 3:09:06.680 --> 3:09:09.000 this was great. Is there anything you want? Because you 3:09:09.120 --> 3:09:13.160 have notes, he can go look at you. Make sure 3:09:15.400 --> 3:09:18.960 you might have a paper bring out he got paperwork. 3:09:19.240 --> 3:09:21.840 I'm just saying this is how the gotta walk through 3:09:21.840 --> 3:09:26.879 the yards, and that this is how people that walk 3:09:26.920 --> 3:09:29.080 through the yards the fat You gotta have your paperwork. 3:09:29.560 --> 3:09:31.680 She gotta be right or you can't even walk through 3:09:32.120 --> 3:09:34.760 this is how we walked through the fat's yard. Just now, 3:09:35.959 --> 3:09:41.000 are you understand? Are you understand? You got any Let's 3:09:41.000 --> 3:09:45.720 see hold, let me go through my nose. Let's go nory. Okay, 3:09:45.760 --> 3:09:49.400 here go boom such a nod. Yeah, this is for 3:09:49.480 --> 3:09:51.760 the normy show I had. All right, so let me 3:09:51.800 --> 3:09:55.760 see you I said that one already. M okay, this 3:09:55.879 --> 3:09:58.200 one is, this is, this is one. This ain't even 3:09:58.320 --> 3:10:04.920 in my book. And this is about um stubbornness. And 3:10:05.000 --> 3:10:11.120 while certain certain people you just gotta let them fade. Well, 3:10:11.160 --> 3:10:13.920 certain people you could try, but it's like some people 3:10:13.959 --> 3:10:17.720 will rather be objective than corrected, which makes them slaves 3:10:17.800 --> 3:10:23.160 to their mistakes instead of free to improvement. So and 3:10:23.200 --> 3:10:28.160 then I have one when I said botanist. Botanist is 3:10:28.240 --> 3:10:31.600 people that specialize in theay with flowers. So your show, 3:10:31.840 --> 3:10:34.400 you get people their roses, and I'm and I'm like, 3:10:35.320 --> 3:10:37.200 I had that in my head. It's like when we 3:10:37.280 --> 3:10:41.520 give people are roses, we gotta be careful. Basically, it's 3:10:41.560 --> 3:10:44.680 like the way you get people their roses is love, 3:10:45.360 --> 3:10:47.880 so talk other people get people their roses, but we 3:10:48.040 --> 3:10:52.280 need botanists. We need to be careful with some of 3:10:52.360 --> 3:10:54.600 the roles that we get from people because roses have 3:10:54.760 --> 3:10:57.280 thorns in them, bro, So it's like, don't give me, 3:10:57.440 --> 3:10:59.920 don't give me my roses, but but sting you get 3:11:00.120 --> 3:11:02.040 to me. So that's why I fussed with you. You 3:11:02.120 --> 3:11:10.480 know what I'm saying. I got that's all. Some people 3:11:10.920 --> 3:11:12.840 they talk about how they got love for you, but 3:11:12.959 --> 3:11:17.240 they give incomplete sentences. They'll say I have your back, 3:11:17.879 --> 3:11:22.360 but the complete conversations is they have conversations behind your back. 3:11:23.920 --> 3:11:26.440 Don't be an incomplete sentence when you're funking with a 3:11:26.520 --> 3:11:33.520 nigger with a brother, okay um? And then what else 3:11:33.720 --> 3:11:41.360 I said that? I said that? Uh, I said that. Oh, 3:11:41.440 --> 3:11:51.360 here's a very important one. We touched on that revisionist theory. 3:11:52.640 --> 3:11:57.480 We business somebody who changes something so they can say 3:11:57.520 --> 3:12:00.640 the skies blue, and somebody else to say the skies 3:12:01.480 --> 3:12:04.920 greg even though it was blue when you said it 3:12:05.000 --> 3:12:07.119 was blue, they would change it and then everybody believe 3:12:07.200 --> 3:12:11.160 the scuy was great. So I was like gonna break down, 3:12:11.280 --> 3:12:12.880 like how some people who have tried to give a 3:12:13.120 --> 3:12:16.760 revisionist theory of some things in life. But I have 3:12:16.800 --> 3:12:20.879 to do that because I had to paperwork. I um. 3:12:21.320 --> 3:12:24.480 And the last one, this is an important one out 3:12:24.520 --> 3:12:29.440 of my notes. A misconception about peace or pursuit of 3:12:29.560 --> 3:12:32.800 it is that one is passive. My piece does not 3:12:32.959 --> 3:12:35.680 include turning the other cheek in the face of adversity 3:12:36.280 --> 3:12:41.240 or tolerate in disrespect. So that means, yeah, I'm on 3:12:41.360 --> 3:12:43.959 my cool ship. I'm trying to be humble. I love life, 3:12:45.520 --> 3:12:52.400 but my aim is better more like you know what 3:12:52.440 --> 3:12:56.840 I'm saying, David, Let live. So that's just in general. 3:12:57.560 --> 3:13:02.720 When we are as we grow as men. As we 3:13:02.920 --> 3:13:06.240 grow sometimes when you from a certain element and then 3:13:06.280 --> 3:13:10.280 you start growing, people look at you different. And I 3:13:10.440 --> 3:13:14.560 think when we're young and we have those dreams. Every 3:13:14.600 --> 3:13:17.480 single person in this room had those dreams, those childish dreams, 3:13:17.760 --> 3:13:22.039 and those young dreams, the childish dreams. Be yo, when 3:13:22.080 --> 3:13:24.680 we grow up, I'm gonna get rich one day and 3:13:24.680 --> 3:13:27.240 I'm gonna get a car like this, and I'm you know, 3:13:27.440 --> 3:13:29.600 those dreams may be little, and then some of us 3:13:29.720 --> 3:13:34.080 actually do that ship. But when we become teens and 3:13:34.160 --> 3:13:37.360 young adolescents and young men, our plan is to get 3:13:37.400 --> 3:13:39.280 out the hood. Y'all want to get out the hood. 3:13:39.280 --> 3:13:44.119 I'm gonna do this. So my thing is don't get 3:13:44.240 --> 3:13:49.040 mad at the person who stuck to the plan because 3:13:49.080 --> 3:13:52.600 we all had that plan. But sometimes when other people 3:13:52.680 --> 3:13:55.480 don't implement that plan, they get mad at the person 3:13:55.560 --> 3:14:00.520 that's stuck to the plan. That's not fair. So update 3:14:00.600 --> 3:14:06.720 your plans rather than hate on your mask. That's that. 3:14:07.520 --> 3:14:09.640 God damn it. I feel like that was the great ending. 3:14:20.720 --> 3:14:23.119 Thanks for joining us for another episode of Drink Champs 3:14:23.200 --> 3:14:25.600 hosted by Yours truly, d J e f N and 3:14:25.760 --> 3:14:27.840 n O r E.
