Speaker 1: this dude got something going. So just seeing a brother

45
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: come from where he come from being homeless to owning

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: a major network. Now, you know, it's crazy, man. Whether

00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: Brother because I'm not a fan of the movies. I'm

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,560

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440

00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: the climb is is a you know, I applaud him

54
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,240

Speaker 2: was your era, when did you feel and notice that

190
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: hip hop so to speak, started changing?

191
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 3: Hip hop started changing for us around eighty seven, eighty six,

192
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 3: eighty seven, because we started in eighty two. I started

193
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: in eighty two, but West Coast hip hop started changing

194
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: around eighty six eighty seven because we made turn off

195
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: the lights. That was around the same year that Dred

196
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: Radium left right after turn off the lights and formed

197
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: the NWA and y'all came up right behind them. So

198
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: it was like the late eighties and ice he had

199
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: already done his thing, but even then it hadn't it

200
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: hadn't officially changed over completely because we still was doing

201
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: dancings and shit. It was like we were in that

202
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: curve we you know that mix. You know, it's still

203
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: Nigga's still dancing, but they really started banging. They still dancing,

204
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: but they started banging, and all of a sudden they

205
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: stopped dancing and started banging. The whole thing just changed completely.

206
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: And even when we were going tour. First started going

207
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: on tour, all we played was R and B, R

208
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: and B groups. All it was record crew, rerecord crew,

209
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: fucking Mary Jane girls, more stay in the time ship

210
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: like that. Then around the second and third year we

211
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: started seeing Force Him D's and other acts like that. Okay,

212
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: because even though even though West cost even the East

213
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: Coast acts were doing more like an R and B thing,

214
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 3: you had to Force Him D's and even Cold Mo

215
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 3: d though he was a rapper, his music was R

216
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: with R and B music type. Okay, So by the

312
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: The legs, the laserd abuse that was going on at

313
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: the time, you never saw, never saw something because I

314
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: know these movies have a ten.

315
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: That's a lifetime ship. Ship. Man.

316
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: I remember also at that time he might know what

317
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: I'm confident at that time at my house, nobody drank

318
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: sup or flipped him. I just see, I didn't see

319
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: no a ball till the nigga showed up.

320
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: The gangs.

321
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: Niggas come with a ball and all kind of ship. Okay,

322
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: Dre them didn't drink, they didn't. We didn't even smoke

323
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: weed or nothing. These youngsters bought all the bad habits.

324
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: In my house. We came with the gangster ship.

325
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Was it a shock to you when you saw Dre

326
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: make that transition into doing the type of music he

327
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: was doing.

328
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the music was always good.

329
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

330
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: I just was like I knew all the guys personally.

331
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: They never came off to me like that, you know

332
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. These guys were. They came up to

333
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: me cool, but they was I knew that, I knew

334
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: where they were from. They was different. I never saw

335
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: them do anything, but they had a different vibe about them.

336
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: I watched Dre, I knew Dre, I knew Cube, I

337
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: knew Yeller. I knew that, I knew they vibe was

338
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: totally different. So it kind of blew me away. They

339
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: gonna do what, Okay, cool if y'all buy it, they

340
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: sell it. Y'all buy it, get a receipt.

341
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: And go home.

342
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: I said, right there, Now, let me ask you this,

343
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: and this is about the business part. Because you were

344
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: signed the techno pop right like hop technical hop you was.

345
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: You were signing the techno hop. Yeah, was his stand

346
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: to practice back then because he wasn't signed the CMWO,

347
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: wasn't signed to you outside of the one project. But

348
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: it can almost be misconstrue this exploitation kind of because

349
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: they took you know, like Unknown took E's publisher.

350
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 3: Now that right there, I can't speak on simply because

351
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: when I did a compilation album, my my one of

352
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: my things was to try and get everybody a deal

353
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: on that first compilation eight got picked up PG. Thirteen

354
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: got picked up. But now the sea got picked up.

355
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: What happened to the what happened to West Coast Distributors?

356
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: Man, we went broke. We went fucking broke because that

357
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: was the plan. That was the plan. Yeah, okay, we

358
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: the company West Coast. West Coast Record Distributors was the

359
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: first company owned by artists, Me Rudy from the Dream

360
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: Team Unknown in Egypt. It was my idea. I put

361
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: all these cats together. We drove down to San Diego

362
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: to the NORM Convention National Association of Record Merchandisers, cut

363
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: a deal with the labels where they buy from us.

364
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: They say, yeah, if y'all do it, we'll buy it

365
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: from you. We shot back to La went to Rainbow

366
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: Records in Santa Monica. Talked to Steve, say, Steve, we

367
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 3: leave him a cola. We're gonna we got people that

368
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: sit they'll buy from us. Well, we pressed our records.

369
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: He said, yes, how much you're gonna charge us? We

370
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 3: want to charge you the record. I said, charge just

371
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: the regular price. He said, yeah, we need a line

372
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: of credit. He gave me Egypt, Rudy and Unknown twenty

373
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars line of credit, not a piece of

374
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: paperwork in the motherfucking room. Hundred grand credit credit line

375
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: for Rainbow Records, not a piece of paper, just based

376
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: on our selling ability. My first project was CMW. I'd

377
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: been there about now, about six eight months. Okay, well,

378
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. The first project was Compilation. I've been there

379
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: about six eight months. And what we did not know

380
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 3: is that one of our partners was buying shit and

381
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: getting advances on because back then, in the independent record situation,

382
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: you could go to the distributor, Hey look I got

383
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: a new project coming out. I need advance on my project. Okay,

384
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: But because we were a distributor, they took it against

385
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: the distribution company and not that particular label, whoever's product

386
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: came out, they just got their money from. Y'all got

387
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: figured out for yourself.

388
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: Okay.

389
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: See what I'm saying, we're gonna charge it. We're gonna

390
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 3: charge this ten thousand, twenty thousand dollars to the fucking

391
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: distribution company. So when y'all come out, instead of y'all

392
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: getting now we build a shit, we're gonna get our

393
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: twenty grand back. I don't care what the product it is.

394
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: So when it came down to it, the compilation was

395
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: the next project coming through, so it got caught up

396
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: in that ship. So now I got to actually, I

397
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: gotta go to the Egyptian lever and hey man, y'all

398
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: owe me eighty grand. We sold like shit, like thinking

399
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: like ten fifteen thousand copies like that, okay, that we

400
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: were setting CDs. We was building them at like nine

401
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: fifty apiece. Yeah, so that was eighty grand minus present.

402
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: Did you ever get your money from? Never got my

403
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: goddamn money. Never got to let me. And see the

404
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: thing about distribution too. When you're going to look at

405
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: a label situation, set up, whatever record falters, right, it

406
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: comes up the top thing.

407
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: That's why they don't mind giving you advances because they

408
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: got a line of records coming up.

409
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: That's the whole that's the whole thing about the record industry.

410
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: Most cats don't understand. It's about your credibility. So if

411
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: you got four labels that's under one distribution company, somebody

412
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: gonna drop a record in the next few months, and

413
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna get my money back one way

414
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: or another. I don't care who it is. I just

415
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: want my money back. Y'all figure out who y'all gonna

416
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: charge you back to and that's where the ship got

417
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: fucked up at. So now they were supposed to drop

418
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: some ship to offset our ship, and we end up going.

419
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: We end up falling out after that. So now we

420
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 3: got struck with it. Then we get stuck with the

421
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: with the pressing bill. So they got hit with the

422
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: pressing bill. You followed me, so they got they got

423
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: hit with the pressing bill. So now my money is

424
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: tied up and they advances, they get struck with the

425
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: pressing bill. So now everybody mad. So who who the who?

426
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: The Egyptian leveling them go get the advance from man

427
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: probably want probably countter for the record distributors. And see here,

428
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: here's here's the bad part about it. He don't know

429
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: what happened because he wasn't running his own label. His

430
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: girlfriend was running his label.

431
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: So she went and got the bread.

432
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: She went and got the bread, and then we sat

433
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: down a few years later, this bitch was stealing from everybody.

434
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: It's always a motherfucker stealing. And that's what I was

435
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna say, because I know in these movies they always

436
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: show it's a big bad white man somewhere stealing some shit,

437
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: right And I said, man, it seemed like the brothers

438
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: was doing niggas worse than worse than the motherfucking people.

439
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: We all finally sat down and came you know, niggas.

440
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: For a while, was like, hot, dude, you owe me this.

00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: This niggas looking at me crazy, I'm nigga John crazy.

442
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: Everybody looking at everybody crazy, And I'm like, well, what

443
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: the fuck. So after after the niggas calmed down and

444
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: had a conversation when they were man, well what about

445
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: this right here? Oh man, I did this. I thought this,

503
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,760

504
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: for me. He sent the call to her. So then

505
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: she says, oh, uh, we had they had a conversation,

506
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,080

507
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: thought it was funny and cute. So we was trying

508
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 3: to figure out what happened to the phone call because

509
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: she didn't want spot of mind. That was trained up

510
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: a fucking old school hater ade bottom line. So when

511
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: she saw me in Spectrum, she thought I was gonna

512
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: kick her ass. I didn't know she had done what

513
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: she had done yet. She knew what she had did,

514
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: but she didn't know I didn't know that. I didn't

515
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 3: know what she had done. So it wasn't ntil later

516
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 3: on we had the conversation till the all fucking came

517
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: around three sixty. Why would she do some shit like that?

518
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: Dude?

519
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 3: You have to understand back then, it was we were

00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 3: hundred thousand was gonna offset the balance of power back then.

527
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: And that's what it comes back, and that's what it

528
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 3: boiled down to. Okay, And as far as I can think,

Speaker 2: I'm born in the fifties. I'm sixty six years old.

584
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 3: When as I grew up as a young man in Compton,

585
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: when I heard somebody call somebody a nigga, it was

586
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: a negative connotation. It was nothing there was not a

587
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: term of endearment. It was not a term of endearment.

588
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: My daddy saw nigga that nigga, Oh my god, that nigga.

00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: daddy told me that shit, so I couldn't get with

592
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: they were not doing gangster rap. They were doing reality rap.

593
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 3: Something here, something to dance to, Panic Zone, Charles Wright's songs. Uh,

596
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: I think the biggest problem me had on the West

00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 3: get this ship, keep this ship going. I'm not gonna

600
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: take credit for by myself. I can't do that. I

601
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: cannot say he didn't tell you Lonzo did the West

602
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,400

Speaker 2: Man.

613
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:13,320

738
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 3: when you had to understand it, going to going going

739
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: back to hip hop for a minute. Hip hop at

740
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 3: one point in time was just like house party versus

741
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 3: boys in the hood, just like that, like watching you're

742
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 3: watching house party on one channel. Did you turn your

743
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 3: channel and there's boys in the hood. That's how this

744
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: ship changed. Niggas went from gunny haircuts and dancing around

745
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: and hopping around and ship to shoot that motherfuckers just

746
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 3: like that craping dude, And that's how it flipped up.

747
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: Crack changed everything. I didn't see the major effect on

748
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 3: it because by time, the EVE didn't feel it because

749
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: we was niggas were still starting powder cocaine at the EVE.

750
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: That was that was the drug, powder cocaine, and we shared.

751
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: We couldn't come up to the Okay Man.

752
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 3: That was the drugs. And then by the time I

753
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: got to do those, my crowd got younger. So I

754
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 3: didn't see a lot of drugs that plust I had

755
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: the police at the front door. I didn't see a

756
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: lot of drugs. My neighborhood changed where I grew up

757
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: at cham because Castle was selling pills. Now they started

758
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 3: they were selling weed. But now they starting to sell

759
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 3: crack and ship started changing real hard in like the

760
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 3: late eighties early nineties.

761
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went back to the Eve again, man, and

762
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 2: I went back to the even the nineties. Man, I

763
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,879

789
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: Man, It's surrounded by nothing but the blood homies, so

790
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 2: you all ain't ever perform up there. Man. I think

791
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: I went up to the eve one time, man, and

792
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: we snuck up in there. That place was treacherous. Man.

793
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 3: If you if you came with my brother, my brother

794
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 3: was a shotgun, you was all right. My brother ran

795
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 3: with the shotguns, but he also lived. He went to

796
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: school of Guardena where he lived with my mama. My

797
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: daddy had the patent guard diener so he would hang

798
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: with the bloods during the evening time, but go to

799
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: school with the crips and shotguns. But my daddy had

800
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 3: a line in the service. We cut lines under three

801
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: and one three five, So I knew everybody. And because

802
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 3: I never gang bang, I got a music pass because

803
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm the DJ. I said, DJ cool, he cool, he

804
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, that was my thing. That's why I never

805
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 3: tripped on shit like that, because I had the music

806
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 3: and I was doing parties in nineteen seventy six everywhere

807
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: watch Compton Gardena essays. UH didn't make no damn difference.

808
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: So the music was always my past. But when I

809
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: got to the Eve, I got a different kind of pass.

810
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 3: Going to that loneso spy. He don't really gang bang,

811
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 3: but everybody knew my and they knew where it was,

812
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 3: so that they came respectful when they did come, even

813
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 3: like Snake Puppy from La Dream Team. He told he

814
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: was telling me, told me many a time. Him and

815
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 3: the Egyptian lover he used to walk to that motherfucker

816
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: from UH. They lived on sixty something. They would walk

817
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 3: through the eve and didn't didn't trip. When Snake Puppy

818
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 3: lived in Watts Egypt, lived across town someplace, they would

819
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: walk sixty blocks in the eve because the eve said,

820
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 3: oh until five o'clock in the morning. It wasn't always

821
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: fucked up. It got fucked It didn't have its issues.

822
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 3: Don't get me angle sitting sit here, live about nothing.

823
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 3: We did have our issue. We had our bad nights. Okay.

824
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 3: Sometimes if turn people got outnumbered, it go down. But

825
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: for the most part, in the early days, it was

826
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: a piece of cake. It didn't get really rough. Taill

827
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 3: the ship man right before I got ready to shut

828
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 3: it down. After it shit started happening.

829
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I want to go back to something

830
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: real quick. You the one your company initially put the

831
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: Compton compilation out, correct. Yeah, So that means that those

832
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: groups on that compilation, if a deal was to rise

833
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: out of it the summer, it seemed like they would

834
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: have went through you.

835
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: They did.

836
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: Com just most wanted went through Unknown, but another c

837
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,480

838
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 3: her went through PG thirteen went to Unknown also, So

839
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 3: it was my pot he was. He was a part

840
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 3: of West Coast, but the groups didn't come to West Coast.

841
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 3: You followed me by the time we started having issues,

842
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: so I didn't want Why.

843
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you didn't have first DIBs at

844
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 2: trying to get those groups deals since all of them

845
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: came through Crew Cut.

846
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: You know what, I've always been a little bit different minded, man,

847
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 3: because at that time, new hip hop was so new.

848
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: I got the studio, I'm doing clubs. I'm getting the

Speaker 3: me something, give me something, go, give me something. Go.

851
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: That was always my attitude. Okay. I was always on

852
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 3: a different situation. I provide the platforms. I didn't really

853
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 3: want to be nobody's manager. I'm not a producer. I

854
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 3: don't make beats. And Jerry Hiller was with you at first.

855
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 3: Jerry Hiller was with me first. I don't make beats

856
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 3: our own studios, our own nightclubs, our own platforms. I

857
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 3: give people the shots. Okay, I provide an opportunity. So

858
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 3: if I give you opportunity and somebody says, hey, man,

Speaker 3: get my money now, I do a little bit different,

865
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,000

00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 3: I've always done. I'm not about an artist. I've made records,

867
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,680

Speaker 3: Anybody put more niggas on to me.

872
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, man, did Jerry ever come

873
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: to you because you looked them up with easy in them, right, sir?

874
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: Did he ever straighten you out for that?

875
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: Hell no?

876
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. And you know I'm trying

877
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: to say that. Ain't no other way. That's what Jerry

878
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: Hillar a crook, Jerry Hillo. It depends on how you

879
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: want to how you define crook. I wouldn't call him

880
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: a crook, but he was smart. He knew what he

881
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: was dealing with and he knew like, uhnn.

882
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna say people other people did take advantage

883
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: of certain people exactly. That's why I've always I always

884
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 3: felt that he did not want me too close to

885
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 3: the fellas.

886
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: Understand this.

887
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: I'm in business at nineteen DJ and already I got

888
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 3: my first club at twenty two. I know how to count,

889
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: I know twenty percent equals. And Jerry had already experienced

890
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 3: my business acumen when we got our CBS deal. Because

891
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 3: when I got my CBS deal, we got head hunted

892
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 3: from by Larket Arnold, Larkin Arnold's big time producer bad

893
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 3: Boy from uh He the one discovered Frankie Beverly and

894
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 3: Maze brought Marvin Gay over to CBS, the whole nine yards.

895
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 3: So we got head hunted from a Coola to go

896
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 3: to CBS Sony. And when it came time to do

897
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: the deal, Jerry didn't get me the deal. I got

898
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 3: my own damn deal. So now come time and do

899
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 3: the paperwork. I don't have a manager. Jerry wants to

900
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 3: be my manager. I called my lawyer. I said, Hey,

901
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: my name is kN Claven still around. I said, Ken,

902
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 3: do I need a manager for this project? He said,

903
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 3: for what you need a manager for? I said, well,

904
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: don't you need a manager to do Yourn said, No,

905
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do the negotiations. All your manager gonna do

906
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 3: is call you and tell you what I said. Then

907
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna say yes or no. He gonna call me

908
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 3: and tell me yes or no. Okay, so cut out

909
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 3: the middle man, buy your stuff a cell phone and

910
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 3: be ready to answer the phone. That's how I learned

911
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 3: the game. Because they wouldn't given record music business lessons

912
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 3: back then. Hell, they wasn't given lessons out then. Okay,

913
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 3: what no YouTube was, no no books, wasn't no music universities.

914
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 3: So if you didn't know somebody that was gonna put

915
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 3: you up on some game, you wasn't gonna get none.

916
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: So he charged me. I think it was like seventy

917
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars. Do do the negotiations with the with Sony.

918
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 3: I'm learning the game. He explained this shit to me.

919
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 3: As I'm going I'm getting bill for it. But it's

920
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 3: the best lesson I ever got. You get bill for college,

921
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying. So as this shit is

922
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 3: going on, I'm learning the game. So now Jerry realized

923
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 3: that this motherfucker's pretty smart. He don't need.

924
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: He don't need me.

925
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: So I saved the crew twenty grand by doing the

926
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 3: deal myself, because if we had, if we had to

927
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: deal deal with Jerry, we had to give Jerry twenty

928
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: thousand plus get a lawyer seven thousand. That's twenty seven

929
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 3: thousand off of one hundred. Now we got a seventy

930
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 3: thousand dollar budget to work with because I did the

931
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 3: deal with myself instead of having seventy five hundred, Now

932
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 3: we got ninety seven thousand.

933
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: To work with.

934
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 3: Makes sense to me, make a big difference. They make

935
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: a bigg ass difference. And I bought my own studio.

936
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: I bought my own demo studio, made all my beasts

937
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 3: at the pad first, then went to the big studio

938
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 3: and recorded that shit. So now I got all this equipment,

939
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: I got a studio, I got we got twenty grand

940
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 3: extra to spend to fuck off or whatever. That's what

941
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 3: we did, fuck it off, Okay. And this is how

942
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 3: I was always taught to think. So I had a

943
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 3: different mindset. I wasn't stuck on being the artist. I

944
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 3: wasn't stuck on being a label on a per se.

945
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 3: I was just trying. I was trying to get about

946
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 3: to get us the game as fast as possible. You

947
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 3: were a businessman. I was a businessman, but my only

948
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 3: problem was with the music ship and the music but

949
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 3: shifted being of my business. They got more gangsters, got

950
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 3: more straight shit. I backed up because that ain't what

951
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: I do. I don't want to ask. So you saw

952
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 3: Sugar and all of them come in. I saw all

953
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 3: them coming in, and my experiences out of Compton as

954
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 3: a young man growing up realized. I realized, if you

955
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 3: ain't prepared to kill a motherfucker, leave me alone.

956
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't been in.

957
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 3: Through a lot of shit. Man shot it motherfuckers, and

958
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 3: I ain't no gangster. I didn't shot it motherfuckers, then

959
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 3: shot at the whole nine. If that's not that's not

960
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 3: what I fucking do. So I don't want to go

961
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 3: back through that ship. So surviving Eve after Dark, surviving

962
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 3: do though, surviving Skateland, I don't want to be. I

963
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 3: don't want to be a motherfucking gangster man. I'd have

964
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 3: done some gangster shit, but that ain't what I that's

965
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 3: that's not my my forefront. I'm like any other motherfucker.

966
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 3: I nigga. I do what I got to do to survive,

967
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 3: but that ain't what I do.

968
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, seeing you go through your it's funny, man,

969
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: your history kind of parallel what I go through right

970
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: now because I was one of the first dudes in

971
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: LA doing podcasts, okay, so I helped the lot of

972
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: people out, really genuinely try to help motherfuckers out. A

973
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: lot of times was losing money, you know, with helping people.

974
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: But it always comes back in the end that you

975
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: can never satisfy people. You're never satisfied people. You go

976
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: always get blamed for everything.

977
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

978
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 3: It's definitely a bit should deal with artists. When you

979
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 3: deal with artists, a lot of times, if they're successful,

980
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,479
Speaker 3: it's all about me. But if you fail, niggas your fault.

981
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 3: I didn't write that shit. I just well, you didn't

982
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 3: do this. So people usually wanted to make a scapegoat.

983
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 3: I know, I didn't want to be nobody es scapegoats.

984
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 3: I'd rather give you a shot being gonna do your things.

985
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: Good luck, good luck, And that's always been my motherfucking

986
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 3: forte Well.

987
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: I like eights attitude with it all because I always

988
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: feel like if somebody give you an opportunity to change

989
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: your life. You gotta take the bidder with the suite. Definitely,

990
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: they will never be perfect. But I look at it

991
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: like right now, like if Charlemagne called me tomorrow and

992
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: see it. Hey, man, we can't fuck with the show

993
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: no more. I ain't got nothing bad to say about it.

994
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: That motherfucker do some pretty good money.

995
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just people expect, you know, your attitude to

996
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 2: be different. I don't know. Like I said, i'n't been

997
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 2: through a lot of other ship and from the situation

998
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: that you know that happened, you know what I'm saying,

999
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks ago. I'll be like, Man,

1000
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 2: it's it's just another lesson learned, and from from from

1001
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: where out in been now. I done been places. Motherfuckers

1002
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 2: will never go you give me for I haven't been

1003
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 2: around the world. You give me foreign countries and all

1004
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 2: kinds of shit. So I just tell niggas, you know,

1005
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: you gotta pay your dues when you gotta pay your

1006
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 2: dues with anything though, you know what I'm saying. So

1007
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 2: that's why I never go around and try to, you know,

1008
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: push that narrative of really just bad mouth and motherfuckers

1009
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 2: like some motherfuckers do try to stay away from the

1010
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 2: negative bullshit. You know, sometimes you might, you know, get

1011
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 2: questioned about certain shit, but in all, in all, I

1012
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 2: tell a nigga, I wouldn't trade it for nothing, you

1013
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: get me.

1014
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 3: I think I am crushed about that corny shit though, Well,

1015
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 3: well I'm hurt. I'm hurt, nigga, I'm.

1016
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: Listen my opinion because you know what I'm saying. Like

1017
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 2: you said it, though, let me put it in a

1018
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 2: different perspective. Our shit was a lot of dance orientated music,

1019
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: you get me. We didn't have the you know, like

1020
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 2: you said, the first shit you probably heard when my

1021
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: nigga was talking some street shit was Toddy t you

1022
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:44,800
Speaker 2: feel me. So a lot of our music was electro, electro,

1023
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 2: electro funk. I mean, we had breakdancers, we had pop

1024
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: lockers and shit. So I'll put it in that perspective.

1025
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 2: Crew Cut gave us a platform to be able to

1026
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 2: put out records because nobody else did that. We I

1027
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 2: was influenced by gangster shit. I don't know why. I mean,

1028
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 2: I grew up in Compton. I was fucking gang banging

1029
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 2: at thirteen, fourteen years old.

1030
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 3: At even at our Lady of Victory was gang banging.

1031
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I know about that too. Yeah.

1032
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 2: Even when I went to our Lady of Victory, I

1033
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 2: was gang banging. I was claiming trag New Park. So

1034
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, I was just influenced by street shit. And

1035
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, and I had a mama who worked every

1036
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 2: day hard, had a father who worked at General Motors

1037
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: down in Southgate. But I don't know. It was just

1038
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 2: the niggas down the street with the with the hood

1039
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 2: rats and the motherfucking slanging dope. And you know, I

1040
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 2: think when I was coming to Yo Crib, my cousin

1041
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 2: gave me my first deuceduce. So we used to come

1042
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 2: over there strapped up and forty ounce and smoking weed

1043
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: and shit like that.

1044
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 3: And I was but they never disrespected me.

1045
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, we never disrespected.

1046
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: Whatever side you rolling with. That's cool.

1047
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: We never brought no, I mean, because like it was

1048
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 2: a gang of niggas from different sides. But yeah, we

1049
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 2: got along with everybody up there when we would be there.

1050
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 2: We never had no confrontations or nothing. Now, some niggas

1051
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 2: did follow me over there one day, but when I

1052
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: pulled up at your spot and they knew it was

1053
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: your spot, they was like all right, nigga, But yeah,

1054
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 2: it could have been vicious because I mean we was

1055
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 2: gang bang.

1056
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 3: And that's why I've always stayed neutral to the ship.

1057
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 3: I know niggas where I live at. Yeah, one side

1058
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 3: is blood, one side is cript. Yeah, I just have

1059
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,960

00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 3: me all up, know me? Okay.

1061
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,359

00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 2: and pull off.

1067
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: Then I want to go back to this Jerry Hiller

00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: a problem. I'd always easy drek. Jerry would call me

00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 3: at that time, I was cool, man, I was just cool,

1083
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 3: not being caught up in the bullshit. I don't do

1086
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 3: get you fucked up. Okay, So I didn't want to

1087
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 3: put myself in that position.

1088
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: The one time I.

1089
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 3: Met with Should, I had read the problem with Sugar.

1090
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 3: I had an interaction with Sugar. It was like, dude,

1091
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 3: I ain't that one. I'm cool, but I ain't that one.

1092
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 3: And we shook hands, walked away from it, left it alone.

1093
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 3: Is Jerry Hiller was one of them casts man that

1094
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 3: he had a lot of connections. It was a more

1095
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 3: advantageous to be on his good side than his bad side.

1096
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 3: Either a vindictive motherfucker. He could be very vindictive, okay,

1097
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 3: And if I needed something, I can call him up.

1098
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: He can give me a referral connection. Blah blah blah.

1099
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 3: When I had turned off lights even though he wasn't

1100
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 3: my manager. Oh yeah, he wasn't my manager. We went

1101
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 3: around and just shopped the deal, okay. Or when it

1102
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 3: came to easing them, I didn't think that was gonna fly, Doc,

1103
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 3: because Jerry hit me up a few days after that

1104
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 3: situation went down and he asked me, says, Lonzo, how

1105
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 3: does a Jewish man from the valley within a group

1106
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 3: from Compton called Nigga's attitudes? And I told him very carefully,

1107
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 3: and I didn't think the relationship was gonna work. I

1108
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 3: swear to god, I didn't. Because Jerry was used to

1109
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 3: dealing with me Egypt and Rudy and some other folks.

1110
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: Easy was a totally different situation. Easy carried his money

1111
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: in his sock. Easy would have a fucking look like

1112
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 3: he had an anchor bracelet on sometime. He ever swearched

1113
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: money in his fucking sock, paid in cash, everything. And

1114
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 3: once Jerry realized that he had something that was workable,

1115
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 3: I felt that he may have taken advantage of them.

1116
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 3: Because understand this, Jerry always and this time I learned

1117
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 3: from him. I never got sued. I never got sued.

1118
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 3: If I'm ana crook, well, why nobody ever sued me,

1119
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 3: simply because once you signed the contract, nigga, you're great

1120
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 3: to that shit. That's the fucking deal. You can't go

1121
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 3: to the judge crying now because you didn't need the

1122
00:58:54,880 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 3: goddamn contract. So when I talked to Yeller about the situation,

1123
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 3: he's probably the main what I say in contact with

1124
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 3: you know, they got he got some money, but nobody

1125
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 3: got what they deserved. Even Drake didn't get what he

1126
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 3: was deserved. Because when they first formed nw A, it

1127
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 3: was supposed to be a partnership. Okay, it was formed

1128
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 3: in my living room. They got the name and where

1129
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 3: they came up with the name and concept at at

1130
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 3: Arabian princiss Pad. But they started talking about the deal

1131
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 3: that my house because I kind of had a little

1132
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 3: input and they were easy. Wanted to start a record label.

1133
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 3: He wasn't gonna be on the label. He wasn't gonna

1134
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,479
Speaker 3: be an artist. He wanted to put the money behind

1135
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 3: the project. These people forget about this kind of shit

1136
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 3: he was gonna put just like you saw in the

1137
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 3: movie him just wanted to be a label owner. HBO

1138
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 3: the gout Homeboys only coming to the path. They happened

1139
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 3: in my house for real, And so them niggas really

1140
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 3: told Ray that shit was girl. They didn't. They didn't

1141
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 3: like this shit. They was from New York, they don't.

1142
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 3: The cars didn't hop in New York back then. So

1143
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 3: people forget all this shit. Man, it was a different time.

1144
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 3: This ship is not. You can't compare today to nineteen

1145
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 3: eighty five eighty six. It was two different worlds. They still,

1146
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 3: you know, even n w A, like I said before,

1147
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 3: they still had to do records like Something to Dance

1148
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 3: To in Panics on which which were produced by Arabian

1149
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 3: Prince that if you put some breathing on the ship,

1150
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 3: it could have been a record crew song just to

1151
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 3: get on the radio. Because they hadn't. They hadn't.

1152
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 2: It hadn't been in steven A Yeah, transitioned over.

1153
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 3: Yet, had transition yet good looking, He had hadn't transition

1154
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 3: yet to the gates and ship yet. When Easy wanted

1155
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 3: me to get help him, and Easy wanted me to

1156
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 3: get him to get him to Greg macause Greg back

1157
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 3: was my guy, Greg me, Greg Mac and Roger Me

1158
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 3: and Greg Mac had had a business arrangement. Roger was

1159
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 3: our competition. Fuck Roger and Uncle Jam's Army because they

1160
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 3: they was dissing everybody. That was our attitude. Greg was

1161
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 3: bringing me actions, Dudos, ll cool J New Edition, all

1162
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 3: kind of mo every weekend. We asked somebody different at Dudos.

1163
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Because Greg was hooking the shit up. We was making money.

1164
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 3: He was paying our records on the radio, the whole

1165
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 3: nine yards. We had a hell of a thing going

1166
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 3: on if he played. He had them on Duodos on

1167
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Friday and uh fucking Sherman Sherman Square on Saturday. We

1168
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 3: was killing that ship and an easy one to get

1169
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 3: in the mix. But he was cussing on the record,

1170
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 3: So that's when you started getting all the reverses and

1171
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 3: the beeps and ship. That was the first time it happened.

1172
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: Records was a big deal back then. Yes, definitely, Yes,

1173
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: that was a big deal back then. I even heard

1174
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: motherfucker saying you can go to jail for that.

1175
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a dude. Look, the scene is straight

1176
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 3: out of Compton when I get on Dre's ass. The

1177
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 3: real story behind that was because at Dudos, I'd hire

1178
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 3: off through the cops to.

1179
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Be my security.

1180
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 3: Doodos is right next door to Pyrout like that parking

1181
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 3: lot across the goddamn driveway, doodles. Is that the pyrout,

1182
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 3: the mecca of all bloods, is right there next to

1183
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 3: the right next door to that. So in order for

1184
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 3: me to make that happen, I had to have some security.

1185
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 3: That was the old man's deal. You gotta have security.

1186
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 3: I recommend off through the cops. But guess what I

1187
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 3: got a first cousin. My mama's sister's brother, My mama

1188
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 3: and sister's son is on the Compton PD. He ran

1189
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 3: the swap. He ran the security for the swap meet.

1190
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 3: Reggie Wright Senior was one of his boys. The game detailed, dude.

1191
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 3: So I had him, Huey Taylor, all of them doing

1192
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 3: due security for me. At dudos, I'm giving him one

1193
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five dollars there you had, Reggie, right,

1194
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 3: Reggie Wright sor you know what. Reggie Wright Senior was

1195
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 3: an important piece of comptent.

1196
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah right.

1197
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: He was one of the first people that really exercised

1198
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: the community police in the work. He wasn't just throwing

1199
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: motherfuckers in jail, right. He would talk to motherfuckers. He

1200
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: would take your pistol from you. Now whatever, you know,

1201
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: if you asked some shit, but he wasn't just so

1202
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: quick to throw a motherfucking jail.

1203
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 3: So when casts came to Dudos and saw Reggie, oh shit,

1204
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 3: this motherfucker know me. Everybody in line. So we had

1205
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 3: something that dodos. Me and Greg had something that you

1206
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 3: couldn't fade. You couldn't fade if you wanted to. And

1207
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 3: the shit just blew up. And this is how shit

1208
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 3: started developing. But Jerry Heller didn't understand the the all

1209
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 3: the different parts that was making this shit happen. So

1210
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 3: because I had Greg back, me and me and him

1211
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 3: was still tight to this day. I got Dudos and

1212
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 3: I got my coola. We gotta try effected. We're making

1213
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 3: our own records, we gotta get airplay on the radio,

1214
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 3: and we got a place to uh to perform at.

1215
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 3: So everybody's coming to the niggas is taking their chances

1216
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 3: come to Dodo to perform. So that was my that

1217
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: was my forte and more over everything which providing platform

1218
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 3: because if I started doing too much management, I can't

1219
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 3: do it. I got to stop and do some other ship.

1220
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Now you knowing so much about the music industry, man,

1221
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: this changed drastically today with the whole streaming and every

1222
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: act like that. I saw that snoop recently. It took

1223
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: all the death Row stuff. When he acquired the death

1224
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Robe alog or whatever, he took it off the streaming

1225
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: platform to all the streaming platforms, and he put it

1226
01:03:58,400 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: back up.

1227
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 3: I guess he said to Fine, you know why he

1228
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 3: did that. When you, as ship gets on the streeping platforms,

1229
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 3: depending on what platform that gets goes onto, you get

1230
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 3: an r S S number, r S S feed number. Okay,

1231
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 3: those numbers, if they don't coincide, your money can get

1232
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 3: get scattered exactly.

1233
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

1234
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 3: So in fact, I'm going through the same ship right now.

1235
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 3: My records have been on so many compilations. I'm on MLC,

1236
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 3: I'm on Sound Exchange. You got your b and my ship,

1237
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 3: and if you don't have the same numbers, you won't

1238
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 3: get credit for the ship. So I had to hire

1239
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 3: a publishing manager for the first time to go in,

1240
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 3: go to find all my ship, not just record crew,

1241
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 3: because I got a catalog. I got two hundred songs.

1242
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 3: With my catalog of other ship, find all my songs,

1243
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 3: make sure make sure they all have the same uh

1244
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 3: correct uh rn C coats, and not only for America,

1245
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 3: but overseas Canada, England, Japan, all that ship. So that's

1246
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 3: the fun job. So I would think Snooper do the

1247
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 3: same thing. I'm gonna take all my ship off the

1248
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 3: air right now, get all this ship straight and put

1249
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 3: it back now it's gonna be corrected. A lot of

1250
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 3: money gonna go to the right people. Oh so he

1251
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 3: probably had checks going all all kinds of fact. The

1252
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 3: potet's not baby the poet, or you might not get

1253
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 3: your money at all. And that was something that was

1254
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 3: a problem for me because I had so many songs,

1255
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 3: and I think something, it is.

1256
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Me, not ship. I got this. You got so many

1257
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 2: songs and ship, and they got so many different codes

1258
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: from the old motherfuckers who register.

1259
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 3: I got you on Thump Records, which is universal, and

1260
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 3: then they thought they all coldesh or youre fucking with Thump.

1261
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: I did well, Bill, I didn't want to say his name.

1262
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: That motherfucker over there, one of the jankies. Motherfuckers.

1263
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 3: When you do compilations, if mother I got any kind

1264
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 3: of junk on them, your should have end up with

1265
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 3: a new code so he can get paid.

1266
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying, so like they did with the

1267
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: physical ship back then they'll put a different borough code.

1268
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 2: Right.

1269
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: A motherfucker tell you all, man, you did you shipped

1271
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,360

01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: the year up, he don't send another ten in Japan

1273
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: because I had a thing, man, me and big A

1314
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:04,919
Speaker 3: up fifteen twenty thousand dollars.

1315
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Bro, I had it for a minute, man cash before

1316
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:12,480

01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: motherfucker much, but but before dramming them got cracked, Dog,

1318
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 1: I was probably doing about Man, we was probably doing

1319
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: about anywhere from sixty to a buck twenty a month.

1320
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 1: My nigga, that's how I like, really, Dog, That's how

1321
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: I made my bag. That's how I bought my first house. Dog,

1322
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: That's how I did a lot of shit. Dog put

1323
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: a son through college with that money. My oldest son

1324
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,240
Speaker 1: ate college off that money.

1325
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 3: Dog.

1326
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Because I had a distribution set up around the world.

1327
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 1: I had a company in England called Altered Ego and

1328
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: started an urban division, so all the shit out of

1329
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: the United States from the West Coast, I was distributing

1330
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: out there outside of my own shit, right, I had

1331
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: so much stuff going. And the one mistake I made,

1332
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Dog was putting it. If I wouldn't have put them

1333
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: on that email, cause there's a whole different nigga. Now

1334
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: that is way different now. You know, back then, there's

1335
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: a cut of motherfucker. You know, what I'm saying, Bis

1336
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: where the money at? Give me that, you know what

1337
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But it got fucked off that quick. If

1338
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him on that, I'd probably still be

1339
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: eating with them, motherfucker.

1340
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 3: I had deals with Blue Dolphin and a few other people, man,

1341
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 3: and the same kind of thing. Dude. You just if

1342
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 3: you had a relationship and you dropped some ship, they

1343
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 3: gonna they're gonna order a thousand just to test it out.

1344
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it was.

1345
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I think my smallest order would be from over there

1346
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: would probably be anywhere from five hundred to a thousand,

1347
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: because that was just them trying some shit out and

1348
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't no coming back. That's what I love about it,

1349
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: all that shit about returns and shit, because I'm gonna

1350
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: tell you that, motherfucker. You know your boy from City Hall, right,

1351
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: he was good for that. Walk probably still holding on

1352
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: the motherfucker's reserves up there.

1353
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 2: They had the reserves.

1354
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, returns and shit, you'll be a year later, Walk,

1355
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: When can we settle this? My nigga, ain't no CD's

1356
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: coming back now? Oh well, I don't know, man, because

1357
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: they can come back at any time.

1358
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 2: That's gay.

1359
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: It was just a great pier because I remember I

1360
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: would be able to go holler at Violet Brown directly.

1361
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: She was one of the few buyers that would just

1362
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: it up and talk to independence anybody because she knew

1363
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 1: the power of it. She knew she fucking around to

1364
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: give some ship. She said, well, you know what, she

1365
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: would put motherfuckers in that Lakewood location when it was there,

1366
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: the Lakewood, the Arsenal Carson, the one by the mall

1367
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: out there was the big mart Delamo went over there.

1368
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 3: She would try you out in certain ship and she

1369
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 3: was good. It was just to me that was the

1370
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 3: gold near ship. The swap meets was always my favorite

1371
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 3: man because, uh, mister Park said, when you when you

1372
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 3: sell her to the to the swap meets, they have

1373
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 3: they got their they got their own little distribution thing.

1374
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 3: You only could tell the one dude, wherever you open up,

1375
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 3: whoever starts buying from you first, that's the one you

1376
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 3: got to stick with. You try to go to the

1377

Speaker 1: day he said, yore, damn.

1575
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 2: It wound up on death Row, the stories of death Row,

1576
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 2: and you know, like you said, you would have to

1577
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 2: have Slipping Unknown tell you about those death Row days. Uh.

1578
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 2: I know that we all sat up at one time

1579
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 2: and a known told us that he was fucking with

1580
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 2: sugaring them and that they was finished started label and

1581
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 2: that they was looking for a name for it. I

1582
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 2: think we came up with death Row sitting up at

1583
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: Hamburger Hamlet one night. And I don't know how they

1584
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 2: ended up with it, because we it was a total different.

1585
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 2: It was d E f Row. Remember they had the

1586
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 2: black coats and the good Fellow coats and all of that. Yeah,

1587
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 2: so like jam like death Jam. That's where we got

1588
01:19:58,880 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 2: it from.

1589
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 3: And I thought I heard that was a good ass name. Yeah,

1590
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 3: and then Sug. According to Yes, Sugar bought it from

1591
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 3: him and Jackson's death Row. They bought it so they

1592
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 3: wouldn't do it.

1593
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 2: So Unknown sold some shit that he didn't even think of. Well,

1594
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 2: we all thought of it. We were all at the

1595
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 2: table when we came because Unknown said that they were

1596
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 2: he had hooked up with Dre and Shug and they

1597
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 2: was finished try to you know, they were starting the

1598
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 2: label and they were looking for it. So Unknone was like,

1599
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, let's think of some names, because we as

1600
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 2: compt as most wanted. As the time, I don't know

1601
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 2: if we had our deal. You know, probably was getting

1602
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 2: ready to play out with Orpheus or whatever.

1603
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 3: The studio with that black guy.

1604
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 2: Something alone came back with the black guy. Yeah, that

1605
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 2: was because he had took I think he had took

1606
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,280
Speaker 2: money from Shug to start working on tracks, and you know,

1607
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 2: most of the time Slipped did a lot of the tracks. Yeah, okay,

1608
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:10,879
Speaker 2: so he took money from Sug to work on tracks

1609
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 2: for I think the Convicts were supposed to be the

1610
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 2: first group, but then we were in the middle of

1611
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 2: working on music to drive by, So that was his

1612
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 2: excuse for when he had to go up to Death

1613
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 2: Row and shug like Nigga with my beats. Oh well,

1614
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm working on Conca's most wanted record right now. So yeah,

1615
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 2: but you took my money and that's how he got

1616
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 2: the black eye. That's that's apparently what I heard.

1617
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 3: It was Wrecking Crew. People always associated us together. I

1618
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 3: thought I forgot what it was. What his attorney's name,

1619
01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 3: he's attorney for uh for did Griffy? He says, the

1620
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 3: record shug beat the record crew. No, no, no, no,

1621
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 3: no no no no, that was unknown. Yes, this is

1622
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 3: why I didn't fuck with that ship, because I don't.

1623
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 3: I don't respond well to that kind of shit. I've

1624
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 3: been there before. I know the simple ship can turn

1625
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 3: into a life or death situation. Definitely, that's serious for me. Okay,

1626
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 3: that's why Nigga tap out, not because I'm a punk.

1627
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 3: I don't need the headache.

1628
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 2: All money ain't good money like that. You know, you

1629
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:35,640
Speaker 2: gotta learn how to you know, I'm already making some

1630
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 2: decent money over here. You know. He he was making

1631
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 2: decent money with you know, the conscience most wanted deal.

1632
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes man, that it started looking a

1633
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 2: little better, you know what I'm saying. So he went

1634
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: over there. You know, he took money from from Sugar

1635
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 2: to do beats. And then most of the time, like

1636
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,839
Speaker 2: I said, Slip was doing a lot of the production.

1637
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 2: So Slip had his hands full producing Comptor's Most Wanted

1638
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 2: music to Drive by Anne produced, but you know he

1639
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,600
Speaker 2: was more the you know, hey, Slip, I'm gonna go

1640
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 2: get us this bread. I'm gonna go get us this

1641
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 2: you know, the deal, these beats for Sug. And then

1642
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,640
Speaker 2: Anne was at the crib, you know, and chilling with

1643
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 2: the dog and Cindy and hey, you know it when

1644
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 2: Sug probably caught him up there, like, man, where my

1645
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 2: beats at? And then Nigga told me the story. They

01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 2: said he called him into that room and he was like, man,

Speaker 1: that they was from Loan Beach or something like that.

2188
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 3: War used to be the house band at Jefty's before

2189
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:23,439
Speaker 3: they became War. They would called something else. I forgot

2190
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:26,800
Speaker 3: the name of him, but they were the house band.

2191
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:31,400
Speaker 3: I met Howard and Lonnie at Jeoffty's before Jeffy died

2192
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 3: years ago and talked about I used to play. They

2193
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 3: used to play at Jefty's. All of them more than

2194
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:37,680
Speaker 3: from Compton, but enough of them were from Compton High

2195
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 3: School to justify. Men from Compton High School came up.

2196

Speaker 3: Harvard Man. Harvard University had be on this on this program,

2209
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,479
Speaker 3: meaning people from Compton trying to figure out ways to

2210
01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 3: make Compton better. And we were the only ones only

2211
01:50:22,520 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 3: all black, all not black, all minority group. Everybody else

2212
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 3: was white. Okay, we walking that motherfuck and they think

2213
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 3: we I guess it's not. We're gonna be sagging the shit.

2214
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, but they were surprised that we could speak,

2215
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,679
Speaker 3: you know, we could talk like we got some goddamn sense,

2216
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 3: and we did all their assignments and kicked ass. When

2217
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:41,559
Speaker 3: all the smoke was cleared, why do.

2218
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:45,160
Speaker 2: You think a section as you know, as we are

2219
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 2: as far as Compton, was able to produce so much

2220
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:50,760
Speaker 2: motherfucking talent in such a small.

2221
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:54,760
Speaker 3: Section Compton at first at one time, man was.

2222
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:57,639
Speaker 2: Cause like you said, you know, we've had everything from

2223
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 2: fucking artists to fucking Venus and Serena to like, we've

2224
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:05,679
Speaker 2: had a lot of ship come out of Compton.

2225
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 3: Compton is a I think because of such a small city,

2226
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 3: you get like anything you got, you got their pressure

2227
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 3: to succeed what I'm.

2228
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 2: Saying, because I had to get I was like, God, damn,

2229
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 2: I gotta get about this motherfucker. Man.

2230
01:51:19,040 --> 01:51:21,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody that comes from them in poverished areas, man,

2231
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,120
Speaker 1: it's always motivated to get on because I know that

2232
01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:25,760
Speaker 1: was my main goal when I was a kid in

2233
01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:28,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland was to get the fuck about that motherfucker by

2234
01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:29,719
Speaker 1: any means necessary.

2235
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:31,600
Speaker 3: Something with the first city was one of it was

2236
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 3: it was white for years, then it became black. It

2237
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 3: was like one of the first black cities with the

2238
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:38,680
Speaker 3: black mayor and ship like that. So you got a

2239
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 3: lot of people that migrated to Compton, like my dad

2240
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:45,240
Speaker 3: why I usually live on a woman to other kid,

2241
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 3: then we moved out just outside of Compton. But everything

2242
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 3: I did was in Compton, schools, everything.

2243
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:53,000
Speaker 2: So it just it was.

2244
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:57,200
Speaker 3: It was LA was so big and white for decades,

2245
01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 3: then what was white for decades. Paramount was wife for decades.

2246
01:52:01,320 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 3: Marshingt didn't exist yet. Carston didn't come out to the sixties.

2248
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 3: Ain't that old. Carston might be think they fifty fifth

2249
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:09,680
Speaker 3: at first?

2250
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:12,839
Speaker 2: Growing up? Yeah, growing up in Compton, you didn't venture nowhere.

2251
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 2: You know, we stayed in fucking Compton. We didn't go

2252
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:19,080
Speaker 2: to LA. We didn't go to Long Beach, we didn't

2253
01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:22,519

2822
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:21,640

02:19:21,640 --> 02:19:24,680
Speaker 1: they kind of hitting California at this peak of gang banging.

2824
02:19:25,360 --> 02:19:26,959
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say, at this peak, I came out

2825
02:19:26,959 --> 02:19:30,440
Speaker 1: to California eighty eight, where you from the Cleveland, Okay, Cleveland, Ohio.

2827
02:19:33,480 --> 02:19:36,600
Speaker 1: of invitations, man, the joint gangs. Man, my homeboy Find

2828
02:19:36,800 --> 02:19:38,800
Speaker 1: was trying to jump me in every other day, you know.

2829
02:19:39,160 --> 02:19:42,039
Speaker 1: But the one thing I noticed, man, I said, Man,

2830
02:19:42,120 --> 02:19:45,120
Speaker 1: that shit seemed like a no win situation, I'm not

2831
02:19:45,280 --> 02:19:47,360
Speaker 1: fucking with that because I would notice when I would

2832
02:19:47,360 --> 02:19:50,120
Speaker 1: be wanting to go certain places, like, hey, man, let's

2833
02:19:50,160 --> 02:19:50,760
Speaker 1: go this mall.

2834
02:19:50,800 --> 02:19:52,200
Speaker 3: I heard, it's a mall. You know, I'm from out

2835
02:19:52,200 --> 02:19:54,000
Speaker 3: of town. I want to go there, or we can't

2836
02:19:54,040 --> 02:19:54,280

2837
02:19:54,320 --> 02:19:57,920
Speaker 1: I said, damn, so y'all segregate y'allselfight, that said, I

2838
02:19:57,959 --> 02:19:59,920
Speaker 1: don't want to be involved. And plus I started meeting

2839
02:20:00,040 --> 02:20:02,800
Speaker 1: different cats from different neighborhoods and realized, what, man, if

2840
02:20:02,840 --> 02:20:05,200
Speaker 1: I fuck with them, I might not be able to

2841
02:20:05,240 --> 02:20:06,960
Speaker 1: fuck with the homie like I used to while I

2842
02:20:07,120 --> 02:20:08,880
Speaker 1: can't go over there. It was just seemed like it

2843
02:20:08,959 --> 02:20:10,600
Speaker 1: limited your opportunity too much.

2844
02:20:10,600 --> 02:20:11,039
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

2845
02:20:11,680 --> 02:20:14,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely correct, Doc, it does limit your opportunities.

2846
02:20:14,280 --> 02:20:17,600
Speaker 1: And the one thing I couldn't understand is, like I said, Man, okay,

2847
02:20:17,680 --> 02:20:19,480
Speaker 1: y'all supposed to be from the same place, but it

2848
02:20:19,560 --> 02:20:22,720
Speaker 1: seemed like this nigga more scannless. The nigga that is

2849
02:20:22,760 --> 02:20:24,760
Speaker 1: from your neighborhood is more scanless than the nigga this

2850
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:26,640
Speaker 1: just enemies, you know what I'm saying.

2851
02:20:26,760 --> 02:20:30,680
Speaker 2: So it was just a no wining situation. Yeah, well,

2852
02:20:31,120 --> 02:20:34,039
Speaker 2: we didn't see it like that doog, which was unfortunate.

2853
02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:37,800
Speaker 2: We thought it was everything well, our gang banging and

2854
02:20:37,879 --> 02:20:41,600
Speaker 2: dope slaling and claiming the hood was got the sack

2855
02:20:41,680 --> 02:20:45,400
Speaker 2: that shit. I couldn't even tell you, man, I couldn't

2856
02:20:45,440 --> 02:20:46,040
Speaker 2: even tell you.

2857
02:20:46,600 --> 02:20:48,879
Speaker 3: I got a question for you, who you think makes

2858
02:20:49,200 --> 02:20:51,800
Speaker 3: made the most money in the dope era?

2859
02:20:53,959 --> 02:20:56,959
Speaker 6: Shoot, according to all of the federal government, not the Nigga,

2860
02:20:57,080 --> 02:21:02,440
Speaker 6: not usos. Yeah, Koreans came into our community doing the

2861
02:21:02,480 --> 02:21:04,880
Speaker 6: dope aron and took over everything black. You can't buy

2862
02:21:04,920 --> 02:21:07,240
Speaker 6: a pair of tennis shoes, a bottle of Hennessy, a

2863
02:21:07,320 --> 02:21:08,640
Speaker 6: piece of chicken when I give them to somebody.

2864
02:21:08,680 --> 02:21:10,520
Speaker 1: Don't you know what I'm gonna tell you this though.

2865
02:21:10,680 --> 02:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I used to talk to the old, old black dude

2866
02:21:13,840 --> 02:21:17,000

Speaker 2: Stores all up black on all of them.

2870
02:21:23,040 --> 02:21:26,680
Speaker 3: After the after the sixty five riots, all the Jewish

2871
02:21:26,720 --> 02:21:28,879
Speaker 3: community moved out of the hood. Black folks bought all

2872
02:21:28,920 --> 02:21:32,000
Speaker 3: the businesses, and when the crack came in, everybody ran

2873
02:21:32,080 --> 02:21:35,000
Speaker 3: out of here, and then the careers took over. I

2874
02:21:35,080 --> 02:21:37,560
Speaker 3: ain't mad at him, but I'm just faed. That's how

2917
02:23:59,360 --> 02:24:02,920

2918
02:24:03,080 --> 02:24:06,000

2919
02:24:06,520 --> 02:24:08,840
Speaker 3: smoking their own ship and fall right the back down.

2920
02:24:10,720 --> 02:24:13,320
Speaker 3: I remember the fucking that that ship was based on

2921
02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:18,760
Speaker 3: Nickoson gardens and that always been on fire. Okay, that

2922
02:24:19,360 --> 02:24:23,160
Speaker 3: always been on fire one or two Rick Ross, I

2923
02:24:23,240 --> 02:24:28,440
Speaker 3: mean an actual Freeway Rick character. I know Freeway, and

2924
02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:31,080
Speaker 3: he was the most laid back guy, like Franklin to

2925
02:24:31,160 --> 02:24:35,040
Speaker 3: a certain degree. I didn't know him at that time

2926
02:24:35,280 --> 02:24:37,360
Speaker 3: when he was the balling out of control. I heard

2927
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:40,480
Speaker 3: his name, but I think a few things they left out,

2928
02:24:41,080 --> 02:24:43,320
Speaker 3: like when he reason why they called him Freeway was

2929
02:24:43,360 --> 02:24:45,280
Speaker 3: because he had a big as apartment by the Freeway

2930
02:24:46,120 --> 02:24:48,320
Speaker 3: and right by the fucking one ten. He turned the

2931
02:24:48,360 --> 02:24:53,040
Speaker 3: whole apartment building into his goddamn spot. And he was

2932
02:24:53,080 --> 02:24:56,000
Speaker 3: a tennis player. He wasn't even a even even in

2933
02:24:56,280 --> 02:24:58,920
Speaker 3: his documentary, the fans say they saw the guy almost

2934
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:01,880
Speaker 3: every day walking, asked with tennis rackets, didn't pay him

2935
02:25:01,879 --> 02:25:08,360
Speaker 3: no attention. He didn't look like a dope. Okay, the uh,

2936
02:25:09,360 --> 02:25:12,200
Speaker 3: the fans being involved in that ship, that ship is documented.

2937
02:25:13,160 --> 02:25:16,039
Speaker 3: The guy who told on the FEDS how he died

2938
02:25:16,400 --> 02:25:19,680

2939
02:25:19,720 --> 02:25:21,160

02:25:27,400 --> 02:25:33,360
Speaker 3: Twice. You shoot yourself on the head.

2943
02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:39,640
Speaker 2: That nigga did. What it is I missed did the work.

2944
02:25:42,120 --> 02:25:44,400
Speaker 1: Isn't Even if you happen to survive that first shot,

2945
02:25:44,480 --> 02:25:47,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in such motherfucking this hong, You're gonna

2946

Speaker 2: it did.

2949
02:25:53,400 --> 02:25:56,640
Speaker 3: Do it again. So I mean some ships, you know,

2950
02:25:56,879 --> 02:25:58,879
Speaker 3: when you when you know the real story, you remember

2951
02:25:59,240 --> 02:26:01,920
Speaker 3: living that ship the first time, you can see some

2952
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:06,000
Speaker 3: of the similarities. But of course, in any any movie project,

2953
02:26:06,160 --> 02:26:08,080
Speaker 3: like just like Straight out of Competent, they always in

2954
02:26:08,400 --> 02:26:10,400
Speaker 3: they have they called it embellishment or they called it

2955
02:26:11,240 --> 02:26:14,400
Speaker 3: creative license. Right long as they don't long they don't

2956
02:26:15,080 --> 02:26:17,640
Speaker 3: change the story too much. If they I can, straight

2957
02:26:17,640 --> 02:26:19,480
Speaker 3: out of Competent, they made me gay or something like that.
