Speaker 1: the persons who's been part of the most influential groups
Speaker 1: in the world, that changed the world, that helped personally,
Speaker 1: helped change me in my outlooking life. They came from
Speaker 1: the depths of the hell bottom and they rose to
Speaker 1: the top. He continued to make hits for people like
Speaker 1: Carlos Santana, Beyonce, Destiny Child and you know whatever else
Speaker 1: you want to say.
Speaker 3: In pop started.
Speaker 1: They had to come to see him. They had to
Speaker 1: come to see him if they wanted to go to
Speaker 1: that next level. And right now we got John wat
Speaker 1: Clip Jean. So you know, this is how I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it, because I'm a real fan. I want to
Speaker 1: take it from the booger basement.
Speaker 3: Is that what it's called. Yes, it's called a bug of.
Speaker 2: The book Jersey, right, yeah, studio, Yeah, the studio is
Speaker 2: called a booker. But first, you know, I want to
Speaker 2: bring you salute from the whole the whole entire Haiti.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. You know, we love you,
Speaker 2: we salute you representative.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so uh he ran for president.
Speaker 2: We wanted to make sure that that was clear. You know,
Speaker 2: that was the first thing. So I'd say, man, the
Speaker 2: Booker basement. You know, I was after Haiti leaving Brooklyn,
Speaker 2: kim Marlboro Projects, Coney Island. My dad was searching for
Speaker 2: a better life. He brought us to.
Speaker 3: Jersey and and we lived in East Orange.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So so from East Orange, I one O seven South Clinton.
Speaker 2: From there we moved to Newark. So I was back
Speaker 2: and forth between Noyork and EASTTNGE. And you know, my
Speaker 2: dad was a minister. So when the church they had that,
Speaker 2: it was that whole myth about circular music and so
Speaker 2: the same thing that the Cats went through. That was
Speaker 2: in the seventies where if you was playing church music,
Speaker 2: you couldn't be playing you couldn't go to be playing
Speaker 2: club music, you know what I'm saying. So basically we
Speaker 2: had to sneak. So when I was playing, you know,
Speaker 2: like if I was playing outside of the church, I
Speaker 2: was sneaking to do that because you couldn't do that
Speaker 2: around Yeah, it was blasphemous, so similar like Marvin gay
Speaker 2: father so for me, but my passion was battle rapping.
Speaker 2: So I went to Vellsburg High School. Anybody who's listening
Speaker 2: to this right now, Vellsburg High School, you already know
Speaker 2: my first name is Nell. Yeah, for Nelly.
Speaker 3: Nell.
Speaker 2: I used to eat motherfuckers up for breakfast and lunch dinner.
Speaker 3: Barely seventeen years old.
Speaker 2: I was obsessed with just because coming from Haiti, I
Speaker 2: was like, yo, the only way I'm gonna get attention
Speaker 2: and people to pay attention. It's almost like you gotta
Speaker 2: spit better than them. So I took the vocabulary to
Speaker 2: Shakespeare and just became like a wordsmith, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. And the Booger Basement, the way it sound,
Speaker 2: that's what it is, you know. I meant a Kon.
Speaker 2: A Kon came to the Booger Uh was.
Speaker 3: Actually Jersey City? Correct? Yeah, the Royal Black Warrior.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so I'm you know, I'm gonna give it
Speaker 2: to you like the death Man. A Kon was a
Speaker 2: barber like akond this. Yeah, you know I'm gonna give
Speaker 2: it to you. Yeah, one of the jobs, yeah a
Speaker 2: kon Yeah, yeah, so a Kon one of his jobs man.
Speaker 2: He was an incredible barber, but he always used to
Speaker 2: come to the bugger and he come to the book
Speaker 2: and be like, Yo, look Clett, listen to my music.
Speaker 2: I got this music. So in my hood I was
Speaker 2: like Doctor Dre. So I was like that Haitian Doctor Dre.
Speaker 2: You're still like doctor the early nineties. Yeah, this was
Speaker 2: like you know when you watched the whole n w
Speaker 2: A up him. Yeah, well this is before this, way
Speaker 2: before I'm talking about here. So this like the foundation.
Speaker 2: So the Booger was the spot everybody would come through.
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna give you another fact on ACN. So
Speaker 2: when we did the score, there's a remix of Fuji. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Fujili remix. I put a con on it. So
Speaker 2: this is like way before anything, like yeah, so this
Speaker 2: is what. So when we did in the remix, I
Speaker 2: was like, yo, I gotta put this kid on it
Speaker 2: because I think, like he's gonna go somewhere, Like he's
Speaker 2: incredible every time I see him. So whenever I used
Speaker 2: to do shows, I would just bring a kN on
Speaker 2: stage if he was there. So I only take you
Speaker 2: that far back to show you. So there was two
Speaker 2: sides of Jersey we was representing the refugee side and
Speaker 2: then you had the outsiders. The outsiders was Eminem Eminem,
Speaker 2: young z I dig Up Pace one, so all of
Speaker 2: that was on the other side. So when we was
Speaker 2: doing the score, I was like, Yo, it would be
Speaker 2: dope if we could unify both clicks on one record.
Speaker 2: So on the score, the song Cowboys was when we
Speaker 2: unified it was refugees and the outsiders and we put
Speaker 2: that together.
Speaker 3: That was a scenario.
Speaker 2: A Kon was on our side, but it was sort
Speaker 2: of like a Kon was doing his thing. It was
Speaker 2: just he always was on the grind. So even though
Speaker 2: when Fuji's was blowing up, he still was like, Yo,
Speaker 2: you need to check out my music. And then years
Speaker 2: after it's all good that years years later he blew up.
Speaker 2: But it's just to show you erkabat do. A lot
Speaker 2: of people came through that book of basement, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? A lot of a lot of talent
Speaker 2: came through that basement. And it was crazy because Diamond D.
Speaker 2: I remember Diamond D shout out to domind D Salam
Speaker 2: remy Salam, Salam is like na salam is like the
Speaker 2: gurule like before the Fuji's before everything, Like, right, yeah, Salam,
Speaker 2: did you know that Amy Winehouse documentary when she's talking
Speaker 2: about the Sensey and she she's calling the freestyle in
Speaker 2: the studio. He yeah, yeah, so she's calling him. So
Speaker 2: Salam was the like Salam was doing hits man. I
Speaker 2: think he was like fifteen sixteen years old. He was
Speaker 2: like the dude doing like the super cat all of
Speaker 2: that crazy stuff that was like that was like flex
Speaker 2: flex right hand man. So for me, all of those
Speaker 2: that was really the come up. So to think that
Speaker 2: all of that really came from the booger I told people,
Speaker 2: I said, what the Fuji's and Steve job got in common?
Speaker 2: You know, Steve jobs invention was in the garage. Our
Speaker 2: invention was in the basement. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so you being from Hayden coming to you went
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn first, because I think you went to Brooklyn
Speaker 1: and then you went to Jersey, right, yeah, we lived
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. You let in Brooklyn, went over Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: you But but Haiti is Caribbean, correct?
Speaker 3: How was that that first call when they said, Yo,
Speaker 3: Shakiro wants to work with you. Did you think about
Speaker 3: Ian pussy? Did you think about because.
Speaker 2: That's the first thing I'm.
Speaker 3: Thinking about.
Speaker 2: Before you don't have the clar.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I forgot awkward.
Speaker 2: So the funny thing about the Shakira record is that, uh,
Speaker 2: that record was done.
Speaker 3: Two years before Shakira. I did it for a movie.
Speaker 2: Called Havana Knights. So Clive told me that he wanted it.
Speaker 1: And at the time we said, clip you talk about
Speaker 1: talking about the regular nigga.
Speaker 2: He's got a bigga from.
Speaker 3: Down the.
Speaker 2: Clid from flat Bush who used to sell.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so that climb. So Clive hit me up like, yo,
Speaker 2: I'm doing the soundtrack and I need a joy from you.
Speaker 2: So for me, the whole, the whole idea of what
Speaker 2: I do, because you know, Haiti is just Spinola, so
Speaker 2: it's like basically Haiti and the d R.
Speaker 3: Geographically it is really one because we want let's break that.
Speaker 1: But for Columbus actually discovered that island, well he didn't
Speaker 1: discover it.
Speaker 2: He came there and the people was already there.
Speaker 1: It was actually originally called Espanol and that was Dominican Republican.
Speaker 2: And hey, I'm sorry, I got smart.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Let me get back to come. I don't want people
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 5: And then the French colonized the side, right, Yeah, is
Speaker 5: that the way when in the Spaniards stayed on the
Speaker 5: Dominican side is out of the division.
Speaker 2: And somebody a pussy along them every time I secure
Speaker 2: you dancing, continued I'm sorry, my mom, don't don't repeat
Speaker 2: these bad words.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, so, basically, he just wanted me to do the
Speaker 2: song for the movie. At the time, we had a
Speaker 2: group called City High. So City High we had to
Speaker 2: start as Claude artists.
Speaker 3: She got pregnant by the other guy, right, which came.
Speaker 2: Later, right, which came later. A lot of mistakes, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, learn from So so it was
Speaker 2: you got no, no, you was breaking on. I didn't
Speaker 2: get him pregnant yet, I didn't get nobody pregnant was bad.
Speaker 3: Nobody would be mad at you. We thought it was
Speaker 3: your baby for a long time, be honest to No. No,
Speaker 3: Billy Jean myself with forward continued Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, so so we do it for the movie and
Speaker 2: the record sits there, and you know, Clive, I was like, Clive,
Speaker 2: just record feel special. I think it's bigger, but he
Speaker 2: was like, no, it's just for the movie. So two
Speaker 2: years later I get a call from Donniana and Charlie
Speaker 2: walk and Charlie walks like, Yo, we need a record
Speaker 2: for Shakira because we're trying to get her on the
Speaker 2: other side of the fence and is also a big guy.
Speaker 3: Let's continuey. She hadn't done it bi lingual record yet
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was, there was. There had a few records
Speaker 2: on her, but they was trying to cross her the
Speaker 2: way that I had crossed Santana over.
Speaker 3: So we got to get to that because into today's
Speaker 3: yeah on college wild thoughts.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so so then so I told him, I said, look,
Speaker 2: I got a record. I was sitting here for two years.
Speaker 2: So anybody if you listen to the original record, it
Speaker 2: was on the Havana Night soundtrack. It's Claudette singing it
Speaker 2: word to Bond, It's the same record. The only thing
Speaker 2: I added was Shakira, Shakira, Shakira and Cara veryble. So
Speaker 2: I get the call man and and then it's Shakira.
Speaker 2: It's real talk. And then so she hits me, Shakira
Speaker 2: called you direct, Yeah, she needs to hear. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: Shaky calls me.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So so shaq collar and she's like I was like, Yo,
Speaker 2: you know you heard the record. She was like, I
Speaker 2: love the record, and she was like, I had I
Speaker 2: had a dream about you. Yeah, so exactly. I I
Speaker 2: didn't know where it was going either.
Speaker 7: I was in I was.
Speaker 2: Nigga, I was so I get the call and Shackie's
Speaker 2: So the dream wasn't what I wanted to dream at
Speaker 2: the time, but it was just the fact that we
Speaker 2: was connected. And then we we met in Miami and
Speaker 2: when we got together, I would say, what made that
Speaker 2: record special was the fusion. She came with that straight
Speaker 2: Columbian fusion. And sometimes you could write a record it's
Speaker 2: like a movie. It takes a certain actor to make
Speaker 2: the movie a hit, a certain mattress. So basically I
Speaker 2: remember me and Jerry doing that the record Jerry, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Jerry Wonder my partner. And then she basically I remember
Speaker 2: she was like, Yo, if my hips don't move, the
Speaker 2: record ain't a hit. So when she said that, like,
Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, we're gonna have Shakira dancing in
Speaker 2: the studio for eight hours is I started banging on
Speaker 2: everything and then that's how really the magic happened. And
Speaker 2: from there, you know, she she recorded the record, we
Speaker 2: put the cultures together. It's something about when you it's
Speaker 2: an algorithm dog when you put cultures together, and because
Speaker 2: that kind of music is no longer music, it becomes
Speaker 2: just a cultural phenomenon, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So that was the situation with that, and it was
Speaker 3: an incredible and it.
Speaker 5: Felt like y'all kind of did that on the hip
Speaker 5: hop side with Cypress before that with Cubans me Haitians.
Speaker 5: That felt, oh yeah, yeah, a big record for you,
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I just feeling that record.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big time, big time. But for me, you know,
Speaker 2: the melting pot for me is like as much as
Speaker 2: of Haitian, no one can't tell me I ain't Latin.
Speaker 2: No one can't tell me I ain't African, because you know,
Speaker 2: if I if I start to play sousa or Caribbean,
Speaker 2: if you close your eyes and I start to play piano,
Speaker 2: so you be thinking I'm from Cuba. Because for me,
Speaker 2: no one could okie dope me. Like at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, we want people they separate us whatever.
Speaker 2: But for me, it's like, I know, I got family
Speaker 2: from Cuba, from.
Speaker 3: Jamaica or whatever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: The percussions were exactly were connected.
Speaker 3: By them drums.
Speaker 2: So that's that's how it what happened.
Speaker 3: Man, So let me ask you something. You did Cara call?
Speaker 3: Now that you're just a shaky shaky, shaky I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: cool like that. I still got called. But so you're
Speaker 3: saying you got the.
Speaker 1: Call Santana call prior that that that record came prior.
Speaker 1: For some reason, I thought you Carra came first here.
Speaker 2: Now you know in Santana. Remember I did Santana and
Speaker 2: I did Whitney Houston.
Speaker 3: God you did what?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 2: I'm doing that road. My love is your love, and
Speaker 2: your love I forget. Yeah, we never.
Speaker 3: You gotta rely. So it's super now.
Speaker 1: Now, now here's the reason why Colos Santana for artists
Speaker 1: like us, right, it's super like special because Carlos doesn't sing.
Speaker 2: Oh he does.
Speaker 3: This is me. I'm sorry, I'm mad.
Speaker 2: I come on, that's me. It's me, it's me.
Speaker 3: So so called Santana traditionally doesn't actually sing on the records.
Speaker 3: He actually tried to compose. So when Carlos called you,
Speaker 3: what was your very first thought? First off, did you
Speaker 3: think it was Carlos Santana or you knew because you
Speaker 3: was that big?
Speaker 2: You know the way that it happened. It happened through
Speaker 2: Clive Davis. So Clive is like, just a.
Speaker 3: Clip from flat.
Speaker 8: You gonna start clapping. You can't be around here. If
Speaker 8: I clap your clap, we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna step love in the building, stephead. So so Clid
Speaker 1: from flat Bush calls it. Yeah, so Clod from flat
Speaker 1: bushit me.
Speaker 2: And you know, he gave you the big godfather talk,
Speaker 2: you know, and the talk is like, yo, why cleft?
Speaker 9: I know you study your presence by the way, study jazz.
Speaker 9: And I've been thinking, what do you think about a
Speaker 9: fusion with Carlos Santana?
Speaker 2: And I was like, yo, I love Carlos Santana.
Speaker 3: He's on arist at the time. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: And then you know, and then Clive then he gonna
Speaker 2: hit you with that pressure. He's like, okay, you have
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. So basically, so when I do these records, though,
Speaker 2: it's like all of my records got schemes in them, man,
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean, I break down the fundamentals,
Speaker 2: you know, saying hip hop is one of my schemes.
Speaker 2: But growing up in the hood, I used to escape,
Speaker 2: and I used to scape and watch movies one movie
Speaker 2: I used to watch was West Side Story. And west
Speaker 2: Side Story is a deep story, man, It's about like
Speaker 2: gun culture, you know what I mean, gang culture, clash culture.
Speaker 2: And and then remember West Side Story, the girl name
Speaker 2: was Maria say no, rest story was going on.
Speaker 3: Watch what happened to Product g n B.
Speaker 2: Man, that's a good question.
Speaker 3: So the guys that saying on that, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah they finished, yeah, but they.
Speaker 3: Don't finish that.
Speaker 2: We never knew who they was from again they got
Speaker 2: that was a big record, No, no, you know what.
Speaker 2: So so one thing that you said, which is is
Speaker 2: how the records are put together? Right? So from a
Speaker 2: composer aspect, right, the first thing I'm gonna do is
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say who can and sing this?
Speaker 3: Right? So I was obsessed with David Ruffins.
Speaker 2: So Product g m B from from from from Long Island,
Speaker 2: Kid Money Harmed had that vocal where it was like yo,
Speaker 2: he just had because I needed somebody, like you said,
Speaker 2: Santana a singer. He's an instrumental.
Speaker 1: Like Willie Cologne in Puerto Rico. Willi Cologne only plays instruments, correct, Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: He always a singer.
Speaker 2: But so that's what is So I had to put
Speaker 2: the whole sky. Yeah, no, that's dope what you said.
Speaker 2: So to your point, So as a composer, this this
Speaker 2: is where you know reality has to always How I'm
Speaker 2: able to do this over and over again, it's because
Speaker 2: my background is, like I'm a hip hopper, but I'm
Speaker 2: a jazz major, Like I love jazz, So jazz is
Speaker 2: based on the composition. So I gotta set the scheme up.
Speaker 2: So there's a few schemes on that record. The other
Speaker 2: scheme is I'm a big fan of Wu Tang clan
Speaker 2: angle and that whole record. Did y'all hear the part
Speaker 2: that was that sounded like Wu Tang?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm gonna grab my guitar. It's a different
Speaker 3: type of park. We got niggaso guitars and ship got
Speaker 3: with guitar.
Speaker 6: You gotta.
Speaker 3: Da says your day.
Speaker 1: Everybody be quiet, everybody quiet, please walk continue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So this is what we're going to producing one
Speaker 2: on one vibe and we.
Speaker 3: Don't got to play this or night right now, you
Speaker 3: ain't got it.
Speaker 2: The music younger, clear it man, I own it, mano right,
Speaker 2: so check it out. So so when I'm composing, right,
Speaker 2: So the first part we composed was right, So that
Speaker 2: was the first zone you feel and they all feel
Speaker 2: that record. So so then when we said Wu Tang
Speaker 2: clan ain't nothing to funk with. So one of the
Speaker 2: things I thought that public would identify with with Santana's
Speaker 2: an instrument tillis right, this is where the haitian comes out?
Speaker 2: Did somebody who plays the instruments? I was like, what
Speaker 2: if I could take this, this Rizard scheme, so what.
Speaker 10: If that.
Speaker 7: Ain't with.
Speaker 3: I'm giving them my hip hop hip hop car for
Speaker 3: one day.
Speaker 11: I know that.
Speaker 2: So when we said we said playing by card Little Santana,
Speaker 2: they did in the record. Yeah, yeah, So my whole
Speaker 2: vibes be about the mashups. As a hip hop student,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I consider myself a hip
Speaker 2: hop guitarist first, so so I think a lot of
Speaker 2: the records like I always pay tribute to. So that
Speaker 2: fusion came out like that because of you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, like when when? And then so that scale
Speaker 2: sounds like Wu Tang, but it's originally a gypsy scale,
Speaker 2: So Santana is the king of that gypsy scale. So
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, even though Rizza would
Speaker 2: bring it back in a different form. So for me
Speaker 2: that it all boils down to the basic science. You're there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so l L wait but did that science translate
Speaker 7: to the to the new calid record?
Speaker 2: So so so so cal we go back to that question,
Speaker 2: the record. We can stay in the record.
Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, wild thoughts Rihanna, Yeah, did they clear
Speaker 1: that record with you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. So so Khalid, who I've known man for
Speaker 2: we're all good for. We all know. Yeah, so we
Speaker 2: we you know, I go back with Color. That's like
Speaker 2: brother the brother together. Yeah, that's how far he was.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then like people don't even know like I
Speaker 2: used to like clash like dub plates, so I used
Speaker 2: to this is there's a part of me like in
Speaker 2: Miami in the early days with Kali. Yeah, so dudes
Speaker 2: don't even know, like I could show up with a
Speaker 2: crate and the murder the place. So so for me,
Speaker 2: So I get the call from from my brother Colored
Speaker 2: and he's like, yo, just this one seemed like it's
Speaker 2: this this cleft. You don't understand. This is going to
Speaker 2: be the biggest one. And boom boom boom boom. So
Speaker 2: we need to get Santana, you know, the clear on
Speaker 2: his part, I know you and Santana did the record.
Speaker 2: So I called up Madeline Nelson, my CEO. She got
Speaker 2: Santana and Santana's like my godfather. So Santana cleared it. Now,
Speaker 2: this is what I love most about that. I remember
Speaker 2: when I was doing killing Me Softly with the Fujis
Speaker 2: killing Me one time, two times, and then her reality
Speaker 2: struck me after I did that record, because the record
Speaker 2: blew up like crazy. And after the record blew up,
Speaker 2: I was like, damn, we just made somebody a gazillion
Speaker 2: dollars of publishing because I didn't know how.
Speaker 3: That worked, because you could do it the record, well,
Speaker 3: you clear it.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, So it just
Speaker 2: it's a beautiful thing to be in twenty and seventeen
Speaker 2: to hear the new generation sampling either the Fujis or
Speaker 2: music by Wild Cleff is incredible.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: So he directly sampled your version. Yeah that's the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I just want to but yeah, and then just.
Speaker 3: Was that the guitar.
Speaker 2: That was the guitar?
Speaker 3: Okay, that was play what they said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically when you hear this, so so the
Speaker 2: whole grove is this.
Speaker 3: For some reason. But it is a foundation.
Speaker 2: So a lot of the foundations, that's how we create them,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But that's how that want happen.
Speaker 2: So from there, like I said, so Clive Davis knew
Speaker 2: I had the Latin pulse with me, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? And I go back so far. This is
Speaker 2: why I be crediting like you pud like you don't know,
Speaker 2: like I go back back with the music as a
Speaker 2: as a student, I go so far back, right, I
Speaker 2: go back to Evy queen.
Speaker 3: So one of my reporter we on, but.
Speaker 2: Some money's walk up. That's one through out there.
Speaker 1: We had sting raised, Sting Rays one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: second and what fifth Avenue sting Raised. In case you

Speaker 2: you gotta relax. This is where I want to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, l L and Cannabis has a problem. Yeah you
Speaker 3: picked cannabis.
Speaker 1: I respected your decision, but I knew you wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: win all that because this is l L cool chat
Speaker 1: at the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and l L.
Speaker 3: Had all the back.
Speaker 1: End from the whole universal system. This is the first
Speaker 1: artist that actually developed universals. So I just want to
Speaker 1: know why was it loyalty because that was your artist.
Speaker 1: Because I heard somebody say that that was I didn't
Speaker 1: ever knew cannabis are signior J just your friend.
Speaker 2: Okay, So you know I'm a I'm an artist, but
Speaker 2: before artists, I'm a personality from the Caribbean. So when
Speaker 2: you know, so, I say, I'm never ashamed of my friends.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: So I grow up as a Caribbean youth. We're very
Speaker 2: strong where I come from. So when Cannabis approached me,
Speaker 2: he approached me on a conversation. It was not it
Speaker 2: was in a music conversation.
Speaker 3: So so you know the gist of my problems.
Speaker 2: So the gist of my conversation with Cannabis, it wasn't
Speaker 2: based on It didn't start off musically. It's just it
Speaker 2: was it was just certain people come to talk to
Speaker 2: me about when certain things happen sometimes, you know, if
Speaker 2: someone goested.
Speaker 3: This is probably one of the most historical battles in
Speaker 3: hip hop.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so so yeah, definitely one of the most
Speaker 2: historical battles. So once again, right, so me and you
Speaker 2: we not communicate right at this point. So you got
Speaker 2: you looking at it like, yo, the cleft just choose
Speaker 2: his side, right yeah yeah yeah, because it looked like
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: What I mean.
Speaker 2: So because so now I'm gonna tell you that's right,
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna tell you the way it goes down.
Speaker 2: So the conversation with Cannabis was as followed. He comes
Speaker 2: in the studio, he lays his part. He's a big
Speaker 2: l L fan and the tattoo on his arm, you know,
Speaker 2: he's he's like when it comes to ll at that time,
Speaker 2: like there's nobody bigger than L. Who J Cannabis had
Speaker 2: the L L walk. He just loved L. So he
Speaker 2: was like yo when he left the studio, L came
Speaker 2: in later verse this.
Speaker 3: Is L's record, by the way, record, Yeah, the record.
Speaker 2: That started it off. Yeah, so so So basically cannabis
Speaker 2: point of view was like yo, when L was like yo,
Speaker 2: the tattoo on my arm is limited to challenges, you know.
Speaker 2: And in Cannabis verse, he was acting, could he borrowed atack?
Speaker 2: Give me the tack, right, give me give me the
Speaker 2: mic on your arm. So now now what Cannabis decides
Speaker 2: to do is now keep in mind I'm a producer,
Speaker 2: and so L l Is puts his record out and
Speaker 2: Cannabis says, I have an idea for a record. Right now,
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a long conversation with Cannabis before
Speaker 2: he goes there. Right, I might have to take my
Speaker 2: glasses off.
Speaker 3: Look, this is this is you heard of this all

Speaker 15: Listen.

Speaker 1: It's kind of corny to big up somebody else if
Speaker 1: you say you're a legend, or you somebody that's made
Speaker 1: it as somebody that got money or somebody got status,
Speaker 1: and you big up somebody else in our culture, that's corny.
Speaker 3: And guess what I need to change that. We're corny.
Speaker 3: We just got forty nine million lists. Do we have
Speaker 3: to buy fifty million? No? CBS gonna take care of.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, should they take care of that as
Speaker 1: as as real a good part? Tell us give us
Speaker 1: a fifty million plaque. But listen, in our culture, people
Speaker 1: don't big up each other. People don't say great job,
Speaker 1: hazardous sounds, great job communicating, Sonny Drain, We appreciate your pictures.
Speaker 1: People don't say that in our culture. And you know
Speaker 1: what we gotta do, being that we have a platform
Speaker 1: and we have an audience.
Speaker 3: We have to change that. One of our best episodes.
Speaker 1: And people that tuned in was when we saluted Prodigy,
Speaker 1: and we love Prodigy, but we wish we were saluted
Speaker 1: Prodigy where he was alive.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, because we got to give our legends. They flowers
Speaker 3: when they can smell, and they treat.
Speaker 2: You look at and something you look at, and something
Speaker 2: when they think, and what drinks when they can drink.
Speaker 3: Don't understand and this is what we gotta do.
Speaker 1: Listen, so many people praise people when you're going away
Speaker 1: and you die and it's great, but that person could
Speaker 1: have really appreciated live.
Speaker 3: So why left tonight? We want to praise you. Watch,
Speaker 3: we want to salute you. When I'm taking a shot,
Speaker 3: I don't know who pulled me to shot shots the
Speaker 3: Book of Base to the President.
Speaker 16: I hate this.
Speaker 1: Nigga was two seconds away from me the President. You No,
Speaker 1: this is like taking a shot of Bill Clinton? Looking
Speaker 1: about what cleft? Always we're going to continue, want to
Speaker 1: concrete say what cleft?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 17: Two three.
Speaker 2: Two three two three?
Speaker 8: Clef?
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, did something to be this time? Did
Speaker 3: something to be this time?
Speaker 18: I don't know what.
Speaker 5: We're going back the second round knockouts, knockout those infamous
Speaker 5: battle records.
Speaker 2: The deal, Clef, Mike Tyson on this record, and everybody listen.
Speaker 3: Everybody listening.
Speaker 1: Everybody listening, everybody, everybody, white girl conversations, come over here, listen,
Speaker 1: because here's the deal.
Speaker 3: We didn't know.
Speaker 1: We knew you produced the record, but we didn't know
Speaker 1: you got dragged into the battle. So how what was
Speaker 1: the exact moment you got dragged because you produced the
Speaker 1: record with cannabis?
Speaker 11: Is that true?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But the whole record was like sunsu the art of
Speaker 2: war Son sou So, so when you told me who won, right,
Speaker 2: So we we're gonna get into who actually won, right,
Speaker 2: So who won for me would start off with the
Speaker 2: conversation that I had with Cannabis. And the conversation I
Speaker 2: had with Cannabis is like, Okay, if you want to
Speaker 2: really go on this route, there's a few things that
Speaker 2: I have to let you know that's going to happen,
Speaker 2: and you have to be ready. You're of course listen
Speaker 2: because I got what happened is at the end of
Speaker 2: the day is chess, So with any of course, because
Speaker 2: I'm a fighter, right and then so Cannabis is a
Speaker 2: young bull, right, so my job is I gotta give
Speaker 2: them the information. Right now, I come from the Caribbean,
Speaker 2: So if like I say, like I'm really the Haitian
Speaker 2: Sinatra for real, like and what I mean by that, like,
Speaker 2: I'm never embarrassed by who my friends are, right, So.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at you, but I was just looking up
Speaker 3: just so you know.
Speaker 2: So what I mean the reality of it is like
Speaker 2: you know, we we all grow up in a certain environment,
Speaker 2: you feel me, So it's like okay, like I ain't
Speaker 2: a shame like my mama took a gun out of
Speaker 2: my hand, put a guitar on my hand.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So, but at the end of the day, we all
Speaker 2: came up like once upon a time in America. Right,
Speaker 2: So it's like, it's still my family. So whether if
Speaker 2: it's gangsters, it's still my family. You know, Whether if
Speaker 2: it's my brother that's a lawyer, it's still my family.
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, I felt like,
Speaker 2: as a Caribbean man, if someone comes to me from
Speaker 2: the Caribbean that have an issue, I'm going to address it.
Speaker 2: But I want to know how you want to deal
Speaker 2: with it. So Cannabis said, I want to deal with
Speaker 2: it on some music stuff. So being you want to
Speaker 2: deal with it on some music stuff, let me explain
Speaker 2: to you who l L cool J is.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the this is me you're telling him,
Speaker 3: dude this.
Speaker 2: So so yeah, so so let me tell you And
Speaker 2: it's good because the beautiful thing about this is the
Speaker 2: beautiful thing about this is l L is listening, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, because Y'll give you know how
Speaker 2: when things happen, you get a one way perspective until this.
Speaker 2: So this is the real conversation.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So basically with l L cool J. You know, coming
Speaker 2: from Haiti and watching that movie when l L comes
Speaker 2: out with the radio and he places it down and
Speaker 2: then he goes into it. I mean he wants this
Speaker 2: is the reason, you know what I mean. So now
Speaker 2: we all take this and we say, if we want
Speaker 2: to be battle rappers, we take this. This is one
Speaker 2: chapter of how we hit the block when we hit
Speaker 2: it with that determination. So I said, look, at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, you want to go there, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go there with you. But there's a few things
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. One is I want you to understand
Speaker 2: that l L is loved. You know, l L is
Speaker 2: loved by dudes in the streets. You have his people.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, l L like me. He
Speaker 2: has a high female base. And when you have a
Speaker 2: high female base, it's hard for somebody to knock you down, right,
Speaker 2: because what that means is, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: even if niggas don't want to fuck with me, the
Speaker 2: chicks want to be like yo, if you want some
Speaker 2: you better play someone. Please call. At the end of
Speaker 2: the day, it's gonna go there.
Speaker 1: So so we have.
Speaker 2: Come to myself, why can I.
Speaker 6: But but you, my men, you got.
Speaker 3: And they like this, nigga, I got the night.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, no, no, I love it baby, so so so,
Speaker 2: after this conversation, After this conversation, we go into it.
Speaker 2: And now in order to compete with a giant, right,
Speaker 2: because l is a giant, the first thing that we
Speaker 2: have to do is we got to come.
Speaker 3: Up with a scheme.
Speaker 2: You feel me so and then so the scheme becomes
Speaker 2: second round knockout. And then so Mike Tyson at the
Speaker 2: time had Beep in mind.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Mike was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so so so so Mike. Once again, the
Speaker 2: strategy was war.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 2: I'm a composer, right, so keep in mind, whether if
Speaker 2: it's Santana or anything, I'm gonna come from the level
Speaker 2: of composition. I'm gonna put a Shakespeare movie together. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. So so in putting this movie together,
Speaker 2: you know we need Mike. You know, Mike has to
Speaker 2: say he eats people, you know, ears, and you know
Speaker 2: we need that.
Speaker 3: We need that.
Speaker 2: So you have it's about to go down on some
Speaker 2: hood Shakespeare vibe. Now, keep in mind, at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, it's no beef with nothing it's still
Speaker 2: it's hip hop, right because when I came from Haiti
Speaker 2: listening to KRS one, these are this is how you
Speaker 2: can settle a situation. So Cannabis does the record, and
Speaker 2: Cannabis was one of the first artists. I literally used
Speaker 2: to watch sit on a laptop computer just right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so see that in the hip factory.
Speaker 3: One time I came in, y'all, y'all said, yo, niggas
Speaker 3: started writing. I say, yo, I gotta leave yo. He
Speaker 3: just on paper.
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: this like this the first right around with word facts
Speaker 1: before because you know, your phone wasn't that so back then.
Speaker 3: Said he said, you know that's.
Speaker 1: You know, that's the natural thing to see another MC
Speaker 1: I need the verse and they like you have a
Speaker 1: real and he was like, yeah, what is that?
Speaker 2: Immediately I'm so sorry, No, no, no, that's at least
Speaker 2: somebody else seen Cannabis writing rhymes on computer. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: he was one of the first. So he did that.
Speaker 2: Now we did the record and Second Round Knockout comes out.
Speaker 2: Now when Second Round Knockout comes out, the once again,
Speaker 2: when we talk about hip hop and we talk about
Speaker 2: the culture. That's why I say, you already know me.
Speaker 2: I'm a culture bunny, so I'm always inside of the
Speaker 2: culture somehow. So I got dragged into a situation for
Speaker 2: me that look, you got dragged that start.
Speaker 1: Poor person that's outside looking at I feel like you
Speaker 1: just produced the record and then Elle said.
Speaker 2: Your name, and then you had the response. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: now I get dragged into the record.
Speaker 1: So l L.
Speaker 2: Basically now he goes and he now he has to
Speaker 2: do his response right because it's Shakespeare at Jouston. And
Speaker 2: then the process of his response, he calls me the
Speaker 2: Bob Marley impost right, Yo, this ship gets funnier, right, Yo,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell y'all some real ship.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: So but yo, what the thing is though, It's like
Speaker 2: the thing is the way that I love l L
Speaker 2: and was obsessed by him, and he ain't know. When
Speaker 2: I came from Haiti, one of my skits was holding
Speaker 2: the radio act like I was talking to Russell Simmons,
Speaker 2: but I had an invisible mirror in front of me,
Speaker 2: so so so for me, so I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: now this is what I mean by its chest. So
Speaker 2: what I did was I said, now that he called
Speaker 2: my name, so I have to be careful because I'm
Speaker 2: on my going to November ship, right, be real careful
Speaker 2: because we see that happen. We see that happen. It's
Speaker 2: the walk where Nigga will call you out and depending
Speaker 2: on how you respond, it determines your doom day because
Speaker 2: you gotta be careful because you gotta know.
Speaker 1: You But in all honesty, Cannabis is in trouble. You're
Speaker 1: not really in trouble because you know your financial is great.
Speaker 1: But you're a hip hop person.
Speaker 3: That's what makes you feel like you're in trouble, not
Speaker 3: your financial.
Speaker 2: But wait, wait, how at what point do you see
Speaker 2: Cannabis in trouble?
Speaker 3: Because it's such a great record.
Speaker 1: But I tell you, when I didn't go for him,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk left finish, And I'm telling you when
Speaker 1: I Cannabis is in trouble.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the lyric side of it.
Speaker 3: Come on, we've done the podcast only for a million
Speaker 3: years right now.
Speaker 2: So what happened was we talked about what would happen
Speaker 2: when you did this record? Right, so I think like
Speaker 2: a few things had to happen. So when Cannabis did
Speaker 2: this record, one of the things that had to happen
Speaker 2: is now his entire album would have had to been changed.
Speaker 2: That's the first thing, because he was bigger. Because what
Speaker 2: happens was one second round knockout comes out. The bar
Speaker 2: is also said to that it's so so now what
Speaker 2: would have to have happened was it would have to
Speaker 2: be eleven more second round knockouts that record, of course,
Speaker 2: not towards l L now, but towards the cold. So
Speaker 2: take all of that anger now, because now when you
Speaker 2: do second round knockout, the next ship you're gonna do.
Speaker 2: Nigga's gonna want to hear whatever that next thing is.
Speaker 2: That's right, you win it. The king So so in
Speaker 2: this process, so now he has to so LL takes
Speaker 2: a shot at me. But meanwhile, what was his shot?
Speaker 3: I forget?
Speaker 2: Well, we said so we said tell yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 2: now I didn't so I do a record. So when
Speaker 2: he does this record, so brilliant brilliance is I said, Okay,
Speaker 2: I know who this guy is and I know who's
Speaker 2: backing them, and now yeah, and I said, this is
Speaker 2: L who J this is the King. And now I said,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna respond with a record. Now I respond with
Speaker 2: a record. The record is called What's clef? Got to
Speaker 2: do with it. And now this record is brilliant because
Speaker 2: what happens is I'm actually LLL. What's CLEF got to
Speaker 2: do with it? And on the record, I attacked all
Speaker 2: of l L's bosses at the time, so I don't
Speaker 2: even talk about L like I barely talk. So I
Speaker 2: talk about L's bosses. And now I said, I got
Speaker 2: to neutralize him at the end of the record. And
Speaker 2: I know that he gonna meet me somewhere if we
Speaker 2: playing chess. He has a female fan base, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to November. So then I called up my friend
Speaker 2: at the time, Naomi Campbell, and said to Yaomi, you
Speaker 2: know a millionaire. So I called up Naomi and I'm like, Naomi,
Speaker 2: I need a dub played at the end of this record.
Speaker 2: You know, come on, Naomi, jim me a con down.
Speaker 2: I'm bred j.
Speaker 3: Weekend.
Speaker 2: Yes, good girl. So so Naomi does the end of
Speaker 2: the record, and so she's like, l L. You need
Speaker 2: to give it up. You need to stop. This is
Speaker 2: because now when I put a top model at the
Speaker 2: end of the record, you know you can't say I
Speaker 2: don't like females. So I'm gonna so I'm coming straight
Speaker 2: for your base. So for me in doing that, the
Speaker 2: only reason I even did that bro, because I felt
Speaker 2: like I didn't when he did that record. I went
Speaker 2: back home and my girl, right, she like, she's like
Speaker 2: I call a bougie hood. So she was in the
Speaker 2: beauty salon with her girlfriends, and so I came and
Speaker 2: the L record was playing, The disc record was playing.
Speaker 2: So I came home on some Will Smith shit, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like I came home on something
Speaker 2: that she was like. She was like, why I'm tire,
Speaker 2: you're not her error? And why I'm tying.
Speaker 3: The blood clean million pasta? So y'all gotta sit here
Speaker 3: and eat the chicken it or I said, no, I
Speaker 3: respond to the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, leave it to a woman. A woman always sends
Speaker 2: the king to war.
Speaker 3: The queen always says the gotta respect the queen.
Speaker 2: Yes, But in all seriousness, it was like the amount
Speaker 2: of respect that I have for LLL and continue to
Speaker 2: have for l L. I would say it was at
Speaker 2: the pun funeral, you know what I mean, when I
Speaker 2: saw him and after that I like shook his hand.
Speaker 2: But for me, it was it was a battle, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, And it was all I want
Speaker 2: him to get out of it even till today. Is
Speaker 2: like we were so obsessed by him at the time.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to beat him.
Speaker 1: You know, you think when you just produced the record
Speaker 1: for Cannabis that you can stay out of it.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 2: I knew it once. I mean, it's the art of war, right,
Speaker 2: you would a gang, You would a gang, So I
Speaker 2: knew it. Even got worse, Like, forget about the fact
Speaker 2: that I did the record. I was the freaking referee
Speaker 2: in the video. So once I said, I, he's all
Speaker 2: the way in. But that's the kind of dude. I
Speaker 2: was like, look, we're gonna go in. He's gonna come
Speaker 2: at me, He's gonna come at you, but you have
Speaker 2: to be ready. And I would say, really, the first
Speaker 2: Fuji album was Blunting on Reality and that shit sold
Speaker 2: two copies. The second one was The Score Cannabis first album.
Speaker 2: I felt like after his first album, he just copped away,
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, because he wanted it
Speaker 2: so successfully, And I think you got like three shots
Speaker 2: in this game. I think one, two, three. Till today,
Speaker 2: I always say Cannabis is one of the most lethless
Speaker 2: lyricists that I've ever heard in my entire life. L
Speaker 2: L is one of the greatest hip hop entertainers that
Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my life. And because of l L.
Speaker 2: I know how to control the stage, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, radio facts facts.
Speaker 19: So so do you think, so what what what intent
Speaker 19: does it make a person to say that that that's
Speaker 19: person is the star?
Speaker 1: Is it all those qualities that you just said, yeah,
Speaker 1: to make a person a star? Like, well, okay, so
Speaker 1: I remember called that. Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no, but you know.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you mean good.
Speaker 3: I would have got it.
Speaker 2: So emparamilitary, emparamilitary.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So is in general what we do is when we
Speaker 2: want to get information from the certain people, right, what
Speaker 2: we do is we make them drink to the point
Speaker 2: where they their consciousness and they start to tell you,
Speaker 2: I'm watching you man, I.
Speaker 3: Got you.
Speaker 2: Come on, we go way back definitely. So for me,
Speaker 2: what makes it a star is the it factor. So
Speaker 2: I remember Sony was like, Yo, cleft, there's these four girls.
Speaker 2: You have to go listen to them sing. We need
Speaker 2: you to do a record for them. And I go
Speaker 2: into a hotel and it's four girls and I remember like, Yo,
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, what would you like us? To sing
Speaker 2: for you, mister. I was like yo. I was like yo,
Speaker 2: I'm from the church singer church song and one of
Speaker 2: them girls just stepped out and just the way she
Speaker 2: started going, I was like, that was the if factor.
Speaker 2: And that was Beyonce.
Speaker 6: You guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So and then you know what the if factor is.
Speaker 2: It goes deeper, right, the if factor goes deeper because
Speaker 2: you know who's going to be the it because they're studying.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 2: So if Beyonce is listening to this right now, right,
Speaker 2: this is what's the deepest part is this is probably listening.
Speaker 2: I just got you a three three female Campbell, right,
Speaker 2: So this is this is the if factor which determines it.
Speaker 2: To me, I remember us performing like I'm performing on stage,
Speaker 2: and I remember Beyonce on the side of the stage
Speaker 2: watching Destiny Child already performed, believing she's.
Speaker 3: There as you were studying.
Speaker 2: Are you with I'm performing as why cleft the Carnival right,
Speaker 2: I'm performing, yeah, the first one, Carnival three soon.
Speaker 16: Three as they said that, so Carnival. I had to
Speaker 16: piss for like two hours. I've been holding because I
Speaker 16: respect our class so much.
Speaker 2: You know, if you got pissed. We'll just take a
Speaker 2: pissed bread. No, it's okay, just peri, but.
Speaker 3: That's drink history. Don't stop. We're gonna go Carnival stop
Speaker 3: stop good you look at you look like you've been
Speaker 3: teared up.
Speaker 18: I don't know what you've been.
Speaker 3: Your beach, but I'm saying a good way. You gotta know,
Speaker 3: I don't like.
Speaker 6: That's my sister.
Speaker 3: You really like that? You ready open this?
Speaker 20: Yes, many class man, you're talking about the album, the
Speaker 20: new album, the album, the new album three?
Speaker 2: Yes, man, you know listen everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Carnival three. Yeah, you got, you got, you got,
Speaker 3: you got Shakiro on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what makes this no no, no, I
Speaker 2: was saying, yeah, this is what makes this album dope.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 2: So for me, it's twenty years later and we're celebrating
Speaker 2: the Carnival and the first Carnival is all people. It
Speaker 2: was like, yo, you can't do a record. You can't
Speaker 2: do a hip hop album in four languages and get
Speaker 2: it to sell. It don't exist. So I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I said, I'm from Haiti, Espanola. We speak Spanish, we
Speaker 2: speak French, crayle, we gonna get it. And so the Carnival. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so the Carnival broke records like it did like seven
Speaker 2: eight million dollars eight million copies. It's the Carnival. So
Speaker 2: now what happens is now we're on the Carnival three.
Speaker 2: Now what even makes this special is that? A few things.
Speaker 2: One is I'm hearing the record out of nowhere and
Speaker 2: the record is called one Cleve Jean, and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 2: who did this record? And why is this like, you know,
Speaker 2: skateboard like that? So I said, it's the Try record.
Speaker 2: So record, why clee gotta let y'all pulling up.
Speaker 3: The record? The record we're gonna play it though.
Speaker 2: So it's a young man by the name of Young
Speaker 2: Thug and he decides, come on, he's got you got
Speaker 2: your niggas, not got a riddle y'all niggas.
Speaker 3: In front of the projects man.
Speaker 2: No, no, that was his scheme.
Speaker 3: That was a kid.
Speaker 2: But so but who produced that record with Super Mario?
Speaker 2: And I was like, Yo, this dad boy know this
Speaker 2: little kid was just coming up. He's worked with Drake.
Speaker 2: But you know, I was like, this kid sound his frequency?
Speaker 2: Sound like why c at twenty years old? Who's this kid?
Speaker 3: Like? How is he doing?
Speaker 2: These drums in this. So the whole thing about Carnival
Speaker 2: three is I went and I got all of the
Speaker 2: kids that were influenced by the Carnival. When the Carnival
Speaker 2: came out, there was twelve thirteen. So you got Super Mario,
Speaker 2: you got the Knocks, you got Wavy Boy. So what
Speaker 2: happens is now the fusion on Carnival three is the
Speaker 2: nephews meet the uncle. So it sounds like Teddy Riley
Speaker 2: meets Michael Jackson or Michael Jackson meets Quincy Jones. What
Speaker 2: happens with that fusion? So we put so it's sort
Speaker 2: of like, so if I'm coming from ninety seven with
Speaker 2: a certain sonics, what happens when you put that twenty
Speaker 2: seventeen against those acoustic guitars? What happens? So that's the
Speaker 2: whole idea with the Carnival, the Carnival three. So we
Speaker 2: got two joints up. One is called what Happened to
Speaker 2: Love and the others called Fella Kutie. So basically we
Speaker 2: back on that bullship, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 2: you're rich as fuck, that's way he's rich.
Speaker 21: Listen, I know, listen, listen, But tell these niggas tell
Speaker 21: these niggas that the psycle picture you took, you have
Speaker 21: the speedo, you.
Speaker 3: Gotta you gotta know that the way you was well
Speaker 3: defined oil. Yeah, I can tell that was that was
Speaker 3: a house lady. Come on, you was riches and using
Speaker 3: a five million dollar house?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Am I correct? Eight man?
Speaker 2: Like, yo, I mean you know it is what it is, right,
Speaker 2: But I mean the Ducatti pick man you yeah, yo,
Speaker 2: real talking. I seen my Twitter get divided, right. All
Speaker 2: the niggas ran off one damn you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: It was crazy. I did.
Speaker 22: Yeahs went crazy man, you like just one minute, yo,
Speaker 22: but you know I did it, bro, just to get
Speaker 22: back to the fact that I'm human and like I'm human,
Speaker 22: my nigga, Like, I felt like so many people was
Speaker 22: coming at me at this time as if I wasn't human,
Speaker 22: Like it was like, yo, dude, try to run for
Speaker 22: president his charity.
Speaker 2: It was sort of like dudes was coming at me
Speaker 2: as if I didn't have a fan family, as if
Speaker 2: I'm not from the culture. And I was like, dude,
Speaker 2: I'm a rare, I'm that dude that used to be
Speaker 2: on the block making niggas laugh. So it was like
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I stripped it all down,
Speaker 2: and I knew with my antics that everybody would talk
Speaker 2: and get back to the fact like this is a
Speaker 2: regular nigga at the end of the day, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. So shout out to the speed stripped
Speaker 2: down the conversation, Like I.
Speaker 3: Feel like if it wasn't for you wanting for president,
Speaker 3: I think like you kind of gave Trump the idea.
Speaker 3: Come on, man, don't put that on this. You almost became.
Speaker 13: I'm not putting it on you. I'm sorry, but it's
Speaker 13: not like that Clapper was the first president.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you what's I'm gonna tell you what
Speaker 3: from sweet Nigga is brother?
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, okay, So here's a few facts to
Speaker 2: your point. That's not my point. No, I'm gonna show
Speaker 2: you you got you hitting on I'm I'm gonna show
Speaker 2: you like you're hitting on some science. So it's important
Speaker 2: that the listeners fully get your science because you hitting
Speaker 2: on some science that I'm gonna get into because I.
Speaker 1: Feel like Trump seen you and said this nigga almost
Speaker 1: made Trump. I'm almost made president, and he said, let
Speaker 1: me try won I think it's your fault.
Speaker 2: Now, we wouldn't put it on me.
Speaker 1: But now.
Speaker 3: Because you're you're your he was this close.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: Like, were eligible?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well the first part of it. Let's let's if
Speaker 2: you are if if we go online, right, you'll find
Speaker 2: a picture of me, Donald Trump, Sweet Mickey together together.
Speaker 3: That sounds like a controversy.
Speaker 2: Just listen to this. Listen to this.
Speaker 5: The old.
Speaker 2: Ain't even president yet even president yo, it's just three celebrities.
Speaker 2: The biggest artist I'm taking you yeah three So Mickey.
Speaker 2: So basically sweet Mickey is like for me like he's
Speaker 2: our Michael Jackson if that makes sense, Like he like
Speaker 2: we all grew up.
Speaker 3: With his music.
Speaker 2: Sweet Mickey was the president, correct, Yeah, but listen to
Speaker 2: how he became the president. So when we took Michael
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson become the president. Yeah, so this is like
Speaker 2: in Haiti. Yeah, but think about this. When I took
Speaker 2: the picture, this picture like becomeing president. Yeah exactly. So
Speaker 2: when I took this picture with Trump, me and Mickey.
Speaker 3: Hold on, yeah, go ahead, fan nineties hippob junkie, what
Speaker 3: you're doing?

Speaker 2: So I'm gonna call it random real quick. So Eric
Speaker 2: being rock Kim my first music video ever. I was
Speaker 2: an extra for a rock camp video and I got
Speaker 2: more shots than any other extra history. What's don't swim
Speaker 2: at the technique? I'm playing up right then, I'm your
Speaker 2: bunny man. I told y'all man, yeah, son, do you know?
Speaker 2: He said hip hop junkie.
Speaker 24: I you know.
Speaker 3: But we gotta go back to Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a deep picture. He said that because family
Speaker 2: was saying, like when he probably saw that. So now
Speaker 2: look this is like Donald Trump ain't the president. Everybody's chilling.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump book us for a show. We show up.
Speaker 2: We at the Caesar. I called my man sweet Mickey,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yo, Mickey, were out here with Trump,
Speaker 2: come on over. But let's be clearsed.
Speaker 3: Micky is the president, and the president he's just chilling.
Speaker 2: He's like my friend, you know what I mean? So yo,
Speaker 2: were down here, come so now and years later, right,
Speaker 2: because all I could do is tell y'all because back then, yeah,
Speaker 2: but all I could do say, all I could do
Speaker 2: is tell y'all. Right, all I could go is by
Speaker 2: facts checks.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm gonna give y'all the facts.
Speaker 2: Man. The fact is at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: coming from where I came from, if somebody gave me
Speaker 2: a check to perform, right, and it actually wrote the
Speaker 2: check right at the time, at the time, and the
Speaker 2: check clai at the time, I was like, this person's
Speaker 2: by the business now then, But dude, when you sit
Speaker 2: on a presidential chair, that's a whole another scheme now
Speaker 2: because you representing the world and you're representing like you
Speaker 2: can't be for one side of this, it don't exist.
Speaker 2: You gotta be for the whole America, you feel me.
Speaker 2: So it's a different gameck Obama, yeah so so so
Speaker 2: on that note, what ended up happening is I ran
Speaker 2: right when I ran for president, I ran, But all
Speaker 2: y'all did was see me run. What y'all did and
Speaker 2: see was the backstory. There's a documentary called The Ghostive Seat.
Speaker 2: They're so late. So yeah, now look at it again
Speaker 2: from the top, y'all see that it's brought by y'all
Speaker 2: by Sock Possitive Films. Sock Positive Films is one of
Speaker 2: my film companies.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So I only tell y'all that because at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, I wanted to show out in America
Speaker 2: or all of the kids that was here, how dudes
Speaker 2: was getting down in Haiti, and how hip hop music
Speaker 2: influenced Haiti. Right, so you have. So at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, y'all saw me run for president. But
Speaker 2: what they didn't show, y'all is when they had beef
Speaker 2: with the gangs. I had to go negotiate for the
Speaker 2: gangs visa rappers. I'm talking about the gangs. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about So I said, I sit with the gunmen. Why
Speaker 2: Clef sit with the gunman hand in hand, ten thousand
Speaker 2: ouzies eye to eye. Let's have a conversation because at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I can't let my people suffer.
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, you have to
Speaker 2: figure this out. Because the youth of tomorrow got advanced,
Speaker 2: so how are we gonna do this? I get a note,
Speaker 2: a list of what they demands are. I take this
Speaker 2: list to Washington, d C. The UN is listening. I
Speaker 2: was the one who negotiated the truth with the gangs.
Speaker 3: This is me.
Speaker 2: But y'all don't see none of this yet. Then I
Speaker 2: fly back to my country. This is clef Then I
Speaker 2: fly back to Washington.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Anybody who's watching this, it ain't hard. You could google this.
Speaker 2: I'm in front of Congress and I'm talking about Look,
Speaker 2: y'all need to yet a bill passed. It's called a
Speaker 2: textile bill. This bill help brought back textile and manufactured
Speaker 2: of my country. While I'm doing all of this, y'all
Speaker 2: don't see any of this. This ain't promoted. The only
Speaker 2: thing y'all saw was y Cleve Jean, Yola Haiti scandal.
Speaker 2: Y Cleve jen run for president?
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The only thing is this. I'm a garvyiit just the
Speaker 2: part of me that people don't know. I'm a Marcus
Speaker 2: garvyit and what that means is at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, yeah, niggas see me run. But who told
Speaker 2: me to run? What made me think I could run?
Speaker 2: No one know. I sat with Nelson, Mandela, Me and Mandela.
Speaker 2: We had the conversation eye to eye like we have
Speaker 2: in this conversation. I had a few questions for Mandela.
Speaker 2: It was only three people in the room, Me, Mandela,
Speaker 2: and my cousin Jerry Wonder, So for me, this was
Speaker 2: important information. After that, I flew and sat with Harry Belafonte.
Speaker 2: I spoke to Harry. Harry told me this is how
Speaker 2: they're gonna get you, and this is what's gonna happen
Speaker 2: to you, and if you're able to handle this, you're
Speaker 2: gonna be okay. So at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: now I run for president of my country. And then
Speaker 2: they said I gotta be in a country five years, right,
Speaker 2: But beat this right, They told you the legibility is
Speaker 2: five years. But if I ask anyone who's listening right now,
Speaker 2: what the hell does the Haitian constitution say? Nobody knows.
Speaker 2: So you call that Western propaganda. So it's propaganda that's
Speaker 2: given on the other side to fool you over on
Speaker 2: this side. Because on this side we come here, we
Speaker 2: study black history. We know who our forefathers, well, we
Speaker 2: know who George Washington is. But if I tell somebody, yo,
Speaker 2: who's two sons lover with your who's jack this on it?
Speaker 2: So how would you come up with a law and
Speaker 2: tell me I gotta live in a country for five
Speaker 2: years when I already had a diplomatic passport. So why
Speaker 2: didn't I contest it? Why did not raise my finger?
Speaker 2: And I'm not no ordinary dude. I bought Minister farra
Speaker 2: khon to Haiti to Sain't no ordinary guys?
Speaker 3: Who's speaking to you?
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, Bill Clinton, who's listening
Speaker 2: to the show right now? I'm getting off of Air
Speaker 2: Force one. I'm getting off of Air Force one with
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton as a youngster. So I'm not no ordinary
Speaker 2: dude at the end of the day. Though they had
Speaker 2: to block me. The reason why they blocked me is
Speaker 2: because they didn't see me as a capitalist, even though
Speaker 2: I am a capitalist. They saw me as a populist,
Speaker 2: somebody that's going to be for the people.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying to you.
Speaker 2: So that's the bottom line, and that's how I went down.
Speaker 2: But look, at the end of the day, I could
Speaker 2: have raised my pinky and the country with a turned red.
Speaker 2: I didn't do that because I didn't want the youth
Speaker 2: to fight over me. Because at the end of the
Speaker 2: day was bigger than me. It was about Haiti. So
Speaker 2: we helped get Sweet Mickey elected. So my party, my
Speaker 2: party back was my party, Dicky Mickey Sweet it was.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was.
Speaker 2: It was Sweet Mickey aka Michelle Michelle Martin Lee. So
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, that crew raised me
Speaker 2: to a point. So I backed him up and at
Speaker 2: the end of the day we all got together. He
Speaker 2: became the president. After him, it's another president that's young.
Speaker 2: All I wanted to do my job is accomplish what
Speaker 2: I wanted to do. Before I ran, we had an
Speaker 2: old regime.
Speaker 3: Dog.
Speaker 2: Everything was over sixty five, seventy years old. There was
Speaker 2: controlling a country. There was controlling for country for over
Speaker 2: seventy eighty years. I broke the cycle and that was
Speaker 2: the mission that I wanted to do.
Speaker 3: So Cleft, I know, I know because I know you
Speaker 3: so many years, and I know you for being rich
Speaker 3: for every year.
Speaker 25: And then these people they say, oh, well, wow, Cleft
Speaker 25: took from there, and I said, not, Cleft ain't taken
Speaker 25: from ship. This is me defending you from the outside
Speaker 25: looking in because I know you, I know your personal
Speaker 25: lifestyle and.
Speaker 2: How many years I said, what what you told me?
Speaker 11: That this is whatever?
Speaker 1: They said that they they said that you stole from
Speaker 1: the campaign? How what was I like, Sonny keep.
Speaker 2: It said, got it wrong, and it's going on with
Speaker 2: this white.
Speaker 1: Cleft and I said it on the podcast. But I
Speaker 1: just want, I just want you to shut all the
Speaker 1: haters down.
Speaker 3: Please.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think, first of all, it's an
Speaker 2: insult to say I stole sixteen First of all, it's
Speaker 2: an insult. First of all, it's an insult to say
Speaker 2: that's what that I would steal sixteen million, right, at
Speaker 2: least say I would steal one billion. This is a
Speaker 2: complete insult because sixty million, it were equal to the
Speaker 2: artwork and a few cars.
Speaker 3: In the That's the truth to That's the truth, right
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell him right. Sometimes you tell him right.
Speaker 2: You feel me sometimes for some of the Yeah, but yo,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, though, think about this, though,
Speaker 2: anyone who's really paying attention, like what part of their
Speaker 2: history you want to know? I mean, j Edgar Hoover
Speaker 2: set up the FBI for Look, Marcus Garvey was infiltrated.
Speaker 2: They came in and said everything They said I did.
Speaker 2: They said Marcus Garvey did. At the time, Marcus Garvey
Speaker 2: people wasn't that strong. Marcus Garvey got deported and Obama
Speaker 2: just pardoned Marcus Garvey. I'll even give you something crazier.
Speaker 2: Think about the nub A CP Martin Luther King. They
Speaker 2: said Martin Luther King was stealing personal funds to basically
Speaker 2: take care of his family. Then they had to retract
Speaker 2: this story. My question for y'all is when they're telling
Speaker 2: y'all Y cleft stole and then yeah, yeah, but at
Speaker 2: the same time, right, let me take it to a
Speaker 2: level of legislation because we smart people. So if you
Speaker 2: basically says I took something, I'm going to have my
Speaker 2: CEO now write a piece of paper which is a
Speaker 2: rebuttal to show where all of the money went. Why
Speaker 2: nobody printed that up when we did the rebuttal. Why
Speaker 2: didn't y'all print up the rebuttal? Because at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, it's real simple. Long before I was born,
Speaker 2: it was set up that NGOs would come to my
Speaker 2: country and when they can't make no money nowhere else,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, a due what a local
Speaker 2: job would be making thirty forty thousand dollars a month
Speaker 2: while my people is living on less than eighty percent,
Speaker 2: you know. And I didn't want to start a charity.
Speaker 2: I started in NGO and NGO non governmental organization.
Speaker 3: We was moving like an organization.
Speaker 2: This was a threat to everybody, including the Red Cross,
Speaker 2: including everyone else. And what's funny is I've worked with
Speaker 2: the Red Cross, I've worked with different people. But why
Speaker 2: is it if you google the Red Cross right now
Speaker 2: and say how many houses y'all put in Haiti? Y'all
Speaker 2: going to see five houses? They raised billions? What happened
Speaker 2: with the Clinton Foundation got me anything? But think about this,
Speaker 2: But think about that. But once again, why Clef Young
Speaker 2: was a patsy? Only different niggas couldn't gun me down
Speaker 2: because to gun me down, you gotta get my people
Speaker 2: to gun me down. That's the only way it's gonna
Speaker 2: make sense. You did it to Malcolm X, so you
Speaker 2: would have to have my own and I'm in my
Speaker 2: country gun me down. You can't justify by that. Ain't
Speaker 2: nobody gunning me down where I come from, expect, But.
Speaker 3: I still want to know.
Speaker 2: Do you think that Plinn Foundation did their job in then?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: I think that to your point that I did the
Speaker 2: tour of the houses, the model houses, and none of
Speaker 2: that was building. Once again, I think that a lot
Speaker 2: of the money that went to Haiti through the relief
Speaker 2: fund is a disaster. It's the same thing that disaster,
Speaker 2: the same thing that happened and control.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, sorry to cut you off, but can
Speaker 1: you just explain to the people because me personally, I
Speaker 1: know that you don't need me personally.
Speaker 3: When they said I cant to anything, I know you personally.
Speaker 3: I know how you ball. I know how you don't
Speaker 3: need this money. I know that, But how do you
Speaker 3: like address these people who think.
Speaker 2: That, Well, the first thing is anyone who thinks that
Speaker 2: you have to go facts right, So the only thing
Speaker 2: is look if you if I bring you to the
Speaker 2: well and you a donkey, that mean you're gonna drink
Speaker 2: the water. But if you're a giraffe, I can't get
Speaker 2: mad at you. So those that after at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, right at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: I can't force people to believe what they don't believe, right,
Speaker 2: you feel me At the end of the day, when
Speaker 2: I'm on Oprah and I tell y'all the story on
Speaker 2: Oprah when I sit on Oprah's couch when I tell
Speaker 2: y'all story, right, But once again, what is this another
Speaker 2: black man defending himself for what?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Because at the end of the day, when you look
Speaker 2: at it, it's all a distraction for what And I'm
Speaker 2: going to state it again on your show. First of all,
Speaker 2: the idea of why Cleff winning a Grammy and putting
Speaker 2: his Haitian flag around his back and establishing Haitian pride,
Speaker 2: it is cool?
Speaker 3: Were with you?
Speaker 2: After that? The idea of why Cleft trying to become
Speaker 2: president and set up a governmental organization where you're not
Speaker 2: going to sing it. It starts to change, right, And
Speaker 2: in this process you have to do what's called covert
Speaker 2: and dude, any everyone that's paying attention, this ain't conspiracy theory,
Speaker 2: This ain't the Luminati. The bottom line to it is
Speaker 2: in this room right here, as you do what you do,
Speaker 2: if they feel like it's an infiltration, they will plant
Speaker 2: somebody inside of this room. That's just the way that
Speaker 2: it works. So at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 2: so important.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: But now Cleft takes this job genre and he wins
Speaker 1: the presidency will be wa Cleff's first thing to do
Speaker 1: as president as president of Hey.
Speaker 2: Well, the first thing that we would have to do
Speaker 2: as president of Haiti. You have a population that's living
Speaker 2: on less than eighty percent, right, is living on less
Speaker 2: than a dollar a day. So then you would have
Speaker 2: to establish what's the wealth right of the country. So
Speaker 2: then there's two parts of it. What's the richness? Human
Speaker 2: capital is one? What that mean? Human capital? Human capital
Speaker 2: is important because whether if we're talking about Haiti, Philly, Compton, everywhere,
Speaker 2: you got a group of young men that are like Masons,
Speaker 2: they are workers, they can work like Mexico. What Mexico does.
Speaker 2: Human capital is one. The second part of it is
Speaker 2: we call education and education comes in different forms. I
Speaker 2: ain't talking about just putting up schools. I'm talking about
Speaker 2: putting up trade schools. And what is it that we
Speaker 2: have right everything is controlled from air and c So
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, Haiti used to export coffee.
Speaker 2: That's what we was known for, coffee and sugar. So
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, all of this we
Speaker 2: can What happens is if we come up with a
Speaker 2: trade policy and we got duty if we got duty free,
Speaker 2: we come up with a trade policy, then we can work.
Speaker 2: So the whole thing is I would have to show
Speaker 2: you what Haiti is willing to trade for you to
Speaker 2: want to trade with me. It's like if you're on
Speaker 2: a block and I'm on the block. If you don't
Speaker 2: have nothing to trade, then ain't really nothing to talk about.
Speaker 2: So human capital and education is the most important thing.
Speaker 2: And how do we invest in education? When companies was
Speaker 2: coming into Haiti after the earthquake, this is what I
Speaker 2: ran because I said, anybody's coming on corporate interests. Dudes,
Speaker 2: you want to come in and you want to help,
Speaker 2: that's no problem. But dudes, we got ten boroughs here.
Speaker 2: Why don't you put ten universities and put these people
Speaker 2: to schools because when you leave after the earthquake, they're
Speaker 2: actually going to have a job and be able to
Speaker 2: do stuff. These are some of the things.
Speaker 3: I saw that that's the only thing I saw.
Speaker 2: Money go to police.
Speaker 1: What do you think happened to Haiti after what was
Speaker 1: it the earthquake that happened right here?
Speaker 2: So sostating earth questions? They were stating there there.
Speaker 3: So what do you think was the problem? Message with
Speaker 3: you would have took.
Speaker 2: If you was the president, the problem is this. It's
Speaker 2: eighteen oh four, right, eighteen oh four, the Haitians get
Speaker 2: their independence, the first Black republication. I gotta take you there.
Speaker 2: I gotta take you there to understand the root of
Speaker 2: the problem. Eighteen oh four.
Speaker 3: Peep this guard.
Speaker 2: Eighteen oh four. I gotta go on my five percent
Speaker 2: them over, please me, okay, watch this eighteen oh four. God,
Speaker 2: in eighteen oh four, we basically was free. We defeated
Speaker 2: the Napoleon army. What that means the most army at
Speaker 2: the time, the best army at the time. The Haitians
Speaker 2: defeated them. They were outgunned. How was they able to
Speaker 2: do that? Right now, what happens is after they has
Speaker 2: defeated the Napoleons, the French now put a tax on Haiti.
Speaker 2: This tax still till today is hurting Haiti.
Speaker 3: And that's why Haiti people speaking.
Speaker 2: The reason why Haitians speak French is because Haiti was
Speaker 2: occupied it it was by the French, but because they
Speaker 2: never agreed to be colonized, because they agreed to be free.
Speaker 2: Some people say Haiti God its independence too early. Some
Speaker 2: people say that because at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: So now when you say damn, well, how do we
Speaker 2: get Haiti back. The way that we get Haiti back
Speaker 2: is to bring Haiti into the modern world. And the
Speaker 2: way we bring Haiti into the modern world is through technology.
Speaker 2: It's through in capital and you got to invest. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give you a last example how you bring Haiti back.
Speaker 2: You have something which is called agrabank, call me agrabank.
Speaker 2: So you use the soil. At the end of the day,
Speaker 2: if we plant, that's right. Through agriculture, whether if it's
Speaker 2: the dr whether if it's Haiti with I it's Jamaica.
Speaker 2: Through agriculture, you're able to create an environment for people
Speaker 2: to work, make money and trade.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Yo, Haiti is beautiful, man, I'm telling you when I went,
Speaker 7: it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: And then in order and we get our only got
Speaker 2: to be economically and that's the that's the problem over there.
Speaker 7: It's one of the best. Like I went there as
Speaker 7: a non Haitian and it was beautiful people, beautiful landscape.
Speaker 7: And then they were telling us like we went into
Speaker 7: the mountains, that's where all the rich people live and
Speaker 7: it's the only place where the beachfront is the poorest.
Speaker 2: But let me ask you something though, in California, isn't
Speaker 2: there a rich place of course, right? And then they
Speaker 2: but the.
Speaker 3: Beach side it's still high property value.
Speaker 2: That's right, it's high property value. And then when we
Speaker 2: go into Compton, certain places we see the difference, right,
Speaker 2: and then those boys in Compton can't really come to
Speaker 2: the beachfront property value, right. So in Haiti it's the
Speaker 2: same way. So you have places called by that's right.
Speaker 2: So then what is that telling us? It's not really
Speaker 2: a hated thing. This is a this is a world thing. Weather.
Speaker 2: We love Brazil, whether we go to Brazil to the fulvelas,
Speaker 2: we don't see the same thing. So my thing is this,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, if we want to
Speaker 2: have a real talk about like hold up, man, from
Speaker 2: now on, man, let's just be careful who we let
Speaker 2: the mayor be, and let's be careful who we let
Speaker 2: the governor be. Just be careful, like really really take that,
Speaker 2: because they the ones that is gonna really care about
Speaker 2: your environment.
Speaker 3: Walk up political.
Speaker 26: Yeah, we need to get.
Speaker 3: You know, you gotta get.
Speaker 2: I got y'all, man, it took me dark and you
Speaker 2: want broke off.
