At the Dream Chance 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.080 for the fucking podcast, we got bow Wow in the 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:59.000 buildings as smalls because he got sophisticated on us and 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.760 he called himself as small. So what what was that about? 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.040 Like the Yeah, you know, he was just talking about 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.040 like stupid people like on that end and that and 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.160 ship like that. So like I usually be getting like, yo, 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.160 why did you change your name? And I'm like, that's 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.119 that's my fucking name, like Shot, that's who I am. 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.119 So for me, No, that's my that's my real name Shots. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.760 So for me, you know, um, the rappers side and 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.760 with the acting ship, it's like night and day. It's 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.480 like apples and oranges. When I'm on the set, I 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.400 don't feel like a rapper. They don't treat me like 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.120 a rappers. Far from a rappers world. So therefore I 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.200 want to be respected and taking, you know, in a 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.280 different lights on shot on set. You know, they don't 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.320 really care about nothing that goes on in hip hop 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.040 at all. When I'm doing on World, when I'm doing 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.800 my my music ship, it's like, there's no way I 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.960 can be shot. Like there's just no way I can 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.680 be that person. So I had to just switch it 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:50.920 up a little bit and just say, you know what, 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:52.720 it's like Bruce Wayne and Batman. You know it's the 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.080 same person, but you know it's it's it's two different 0:03:55.080 --> 0:04:03.000 guds of the same time. But the thing is, I 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.480 don't know if you know, but you have the best 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.440 hip hop story in hip hop for real. Mean by 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.760 that he was raised by hip hop, Like we all 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.960 got to see it, like saying, like a lot of us, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.159 a lot of people can say I was raised in 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.080 hip hop, but you actually was raised in hip hop. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.200 You have the footage to prove. You have the legends 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.320 signing like you don't have the best. Like, I'm gonna 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.760 be honest with you, like, like you really have the 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.560 best story in hip hop. Yeah, I do. It's it's 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.960 it's uh, it's crazy, it really is. You know it 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.160 all stick it down. Yeah, it started my hometown in Columbus, Ohio. Man, 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.799 it was the chronic Tool you know, in like ninety 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.080 three was one of the biggest hip hop towards of 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.400 all time. I'm talking and this is for like a 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.760 lot of these motherfucker's who really feel like they know rapping. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.320 They no ship like I was on a real rap 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:55.160 tool for real five.

Yeah, yeah, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.599 So that the tour was crazy. So, like I said, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.080 you had honest, she had Snoop. I'm like five at 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.680 the time, and this is before you did the skip 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.240 for Snoop did this way before that. So I go 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.479 into the audience. Ship yeah, because listen to the store. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.760 I'm in the audience. So A. J.

My mom's just 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.120 picked me up like this and ain't picked me. I'm 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.080 in the middle of like twenty thousand in the arena. 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.880 So I go up there, I do my thing and 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.839 start throwing money on the stage and ship and I'm like, 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.440 let me so, let me ask you. So you're telling 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.279 me this is the truth that they randomly picked you, 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.159 because like, like you were so good. You was so good. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.160 When I looked at the fotage, you were so good. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.760 I said, There's no way, I said, I think they 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.160 probably met him prior to that, randomly, you know, I 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.680 happened randomly. So and I'm in the middle. I'm like 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.480 in rows thirty, like I don't even know how they 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.400 even saw me. So I get up on the stage, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.599 I start wrapping it, throwing money on the stage. I 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.000 I'm like, fucking yeah, I'm like the wrapping, I'm picking 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.240 up money. So then next to you know, they're like, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:45.760 who you know, I guess Snoop and Dre and the 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.240 got with he who was on the stage, and they 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.560 said bringing back and um to this day, I keep 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.719 the picture on my phone.

For 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:07.640 that to me personally and r E, that's the best 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.240 story in hip hop because you know why at five 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.200 years old, I was probably listening to the hip hop. 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.480 At five years old, I was probably in the Doctor 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.640 Dre or you know, whatever whatever was profiting at that time. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.520 I'm just saying whatever not maybe not whatever is popping 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.440 at that time. But I can't prove you that in 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.440 no way shape for my fast. No, he could prove it. No, 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:31.720 not only he can prove it. It's documented right off. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:40.600 So you get signed, No Snoop skit, Okay, but I 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.320 had to get signed first. Okay. Yeah. We we finished 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.280 on the Chronic tour and the next thing you know, 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.280 you know, Sugar and everybody with me to actually to 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.760 go backstage. Yeah, I go backstage from backstage, just like, okay, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.640 ship and how can we do this every night? We 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.080 want to bring this kid on tour. So it became, okay, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.240 let's do this every night. We're gonna put him in 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.360 the audience and pick him. Now, it's a part of 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.280 the show, all right. So that's the part I've seen 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.720 where I could tell he was already picked. But the 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.560 first night, I don't care. I get finish out the 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.080 toy inside. The name coming about everybody like, that's a 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.480 little snoop snoop through me in the dog pound. Quick, Um, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.480 that's a little snoop. Litt snoop, Like that's a little snoop. 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:18.600 And then it's like, no, I got it. He a 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.520 little snoop. But what's the name I can give him to? 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.880 He always gonna be a little snoop, but without him 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.400 having my name to it. But if I'm the big 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.080 dog and he a little dog, so if I'm a 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.160 big bad, he a little bad. So that's how the 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.640 name came about big dog and a little dog. So 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.360 that's how the whole Yeah, okay, so so now how 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.720 does Snoop and Dre have interest in you and bring 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.280 you on the tour? Because that's what happened, correct, And 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.800 then how the fund do you wind up in Atlanta? 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.600 I get to the a fast forward time. Now this 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:55.760 is after the I did a dog. He sounds a 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.200 check this this this is crazy.

You know what I'm about to do something. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.320 So we go to the studio like, no, we need 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.800 him to say we need him to say this. So 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.840 at first they wanted me to to just the Snoop voice. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.840 But at five, I was already I had the ship. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.600 So I was like, no, let me do all the voices. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.400 A lot of people don't know that's me doing ever 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.560 what I'm saying that I do.

And then that's how you know, it 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.120 went down just like that. It was okay. So but 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.880 but let's let's take it to the you was on 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:21.439 the road with um Snoop because they actually said, now, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.360 surely we're gonna bring you on the road.

It was Snoop performing, Dre performing, you know, 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.880 sugar him. It was not my time. But we were 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.760 just so ready for that. They had me backstage waiting 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.960 and Mom's dint kind of pushed me out there. And 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.360 that's how it happened towards end of the show. So 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.320 if you watch it, you see they end with the 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.760 credits ending with me because I was run over time. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.880 But that's where it really started at right, there was 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.719 our seneyor Hall show and we never look back and 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.560 fast forward where you're talking about. Now, that's how I 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.600 got to Germaine because the whole situation was Drey left Snoop. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.280 I heard. I heard Snoop was going through beef with 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:43.400 um death Row. At the time. It was crazy. Yeah, no, no, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.960 it was. It was crazy. It was crazy for at 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.960 that time. So he said, damn, I don't want to 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.360 bring him here. There you go, let me, let me, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.400 let me take him to somewhere else. There you go. 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:56.439 And um, this was this is what I didn't say 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.719 in the intro because um, I should have said this, 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:05.040 but uh, you know, we give these intros and and 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.200 and you know, I want to recognize people accolades. But 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.880 I had just you know, I made a deal, like 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.960 not making a deal. I'm in the process of making 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.520 a deal. With a writer who says, uh, you know 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.040 about a rapper who's who was on for ten years 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.839 and he's still not broke, but he don't want to 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.320 rap no more. And I always wanted to do something 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:32.840 about a childhood star that's still a star, and you're 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.839 the only example of that ever. Appreciate a lot of 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.160 people they have been childhood star as soon as they 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:48.880 get where they at, and it's like, you know, you 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.200 know the reason why I feel personally with you is 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.839 I've realized I've seen your family protect you like me 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.280 personally like I was doing, you know, because we had 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.000 l A l A. They had New York, New York, 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.320 so we were bumping into each other and I was 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.840 seeing the morning roll and I was seeing how your 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:10.000 family was protected always always, and I was like I always. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.840 I told that to my mother, right, many, come on, 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.960 get the phone, you do my wife? Is my anniversary? 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.800 Got to get pictures? But listen, I told that to 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:26.640 my wife, Yeah, my anniversary. But your family like um 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.559 because at some point because listen to take the truth. 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.680 It's something that a lot of people don't know. My 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.160 first contract I signed I was seventeen, so my mom's 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.240 had to sign for me and a lot of you know, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.400 my mom signed for me, and I'm talking about gunship. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.760 People looked at my mom's like she was out of control. No, 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:49.920 she was trying to support her son's dreams. That's real ship. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.240 So when I sit back and like, you're a person 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.040 that I'm not only see grow up, but I really 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.959 literally watched you grow up. And I'm so sorry, appreciate that. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:07.319 I'm so proud of that. Let's break down this history. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.600 So let's break down this history. Always get it. I 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.719 heard Snoop say that. So Slip said he didn't want 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.080 to have you in drama in ter memorial while he 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.320 was going through the drama. And right, so he goes 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.160 to Jermaine dupri and I heard you ain't even like. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.120 I didn't even know who he was. That's the thing. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.680 I didn't even know who have crossed he did. I 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.480 wasn't working with Chris Cross. I didn't like Criss Cross 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.160 at the time. It was a little in hip hop. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.800 You know that was the right move. Yeah, yeah, not 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.040 for sure. And he fused with Chris and Chris I'm 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.200 saying got rested, soul got rested Christ. Yeah, he messed 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:43.720 with him every time That's why if you if you 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.120 notice you start seeing criss Cross wearing khakis and flannel's 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:52.640 shirts the West coast. So they was always kicking in one. 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.000 So I know, like, damn, okay, this was my little homies. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:57.800 He won with them, he got Brady won with them. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.280 This is my homies. So I might as well put 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.680 back with Jermaine. I know he's gonna make him go. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.040 I had no idea who Jermaine was and how happy 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.880 I'm on the football field. And after this, after the 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.360 whole death Rol situation, I'm like, I'm done with rapping them. Cool. 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.640 I don't. I'm cool. I'm gonna go back to school. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:17.480 It's like like teeing now, I'm like, I'm done. I'd 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.520 like for two years, ain't ship pop? You know what 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.120 I'm saying. And then you know, it was a lot 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.840 of I was living in South Central, so the people 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.080 I was staying with at the time, they had got murdered, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:26.560 you know what I mean. So it's like a lot 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.520 of ship people don't know about God blessed. So I 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.160 mean it's just I mean, the whole story is just 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:32.840 so crazy now when I look back at it, man, 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.520 I mean, like when I say like it's a part 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.520 of history. It's it's still a shock to me that 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.880 the ship that I went through and ship that I've 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.720 seen to get to the point where to where I'm 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.480 at right now. I mean, it's it's it's it's still here. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:50.240 Ye for this industry A happy Y're happy. That's important. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.480 You could do a job, you can do whatever for 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.200 the for the rest of your life. But if you 0:15:55.280 --> 0:16:01.520 ain't happy, it ain't work, ain't no point sold you. Definitely, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.600 you're definitely a person that younger than me. But I 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.120 look up to I look up to you because you 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.080 stayed here, you stayed relevant. You're doing crazy shit like 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.520 I'm looking and you switch in the game. And that's 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.680 the thing that is like people like fans hit me 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.920 all day. You know, when you're gonna drop a record, 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.280 funk I need to drop around? Yeah man, It's like, yeah, 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.320 people don't understand that. You know. They want you to 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.160 do the same ship forever. And it's like you're good 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.680 at one thing, but you want that one thing to 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.600 open doors. It's like when Kobe, I've just seen them 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:35.600 getting into like the some hunting me Dolly correct on 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.520 that game. So I was like, you know, you're good 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.080 at one thing that you've been blessed with, but you 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.760 know you might not see it at the time when 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.960 you're doing the thing that you're supposed to be doing. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.240 But it opens up so many other avenues for yourself. 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.920 And when they open I'm attacked, Like what motherfucker's be like, 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.720 Oh well why, I'm like, I've been acting just the 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:57.480 same as I've been rapping rights. Third, what are you 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.360 talking about? So you know, I definitely so, So I'll 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.000 take us to this era. So Snoop recommends you to 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.720 go to j D. Did now you have to actually 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.399 move to Atlanta because you said he was living in 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.000 Campton correct, South Central schooling came down to the A. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.919 I spent like a summer with Jermaine. First, he pushed 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.480 me at the this is the first time we met. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.280 I fly to Atlanta, put me at the Hide and 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.920 Buckhead right, so I go through first person, I see 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:27.479 his home. No bullshit, jay Z. This is a hey, 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:32.119 this is a reason. This is around the sunshine, jay Z, 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.840 pup daddy. This is he likes when I joke. This 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.119 is this is when j D came with money and 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:44.600 the thing. And then then which like I was here 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.720 for I was I was here for I was here, 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.320 So I'm going through the highest. So this is how 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.119 crazy this was. I don't know who Jermaine is at all, right, 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.560 when you know who jay Z is sort of kind 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.919 of because I was big. I was West Coast influenced 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.560 at that time. Like forgive me, I probably know who 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.000 DJ Quicker MC.
