Speaker 1: I wonder what you go see because it seemed like,
Speaker 1: you know, I applaud man any brother man that is
Speaker 1: built what he built because I first heard when my
Speaker 1: mama was still living in Cleveland. That's the first time
Speaker 1: I heard of Tyler Perry. She had a bunch of
Speaker 1: VHS tapes with these he was doing on there, and
Speaker 1: I saw her, my auntie and even my wife, they
Speaker 1: was all captivated by this shit. And I said, man,
Speaker 1: this dude got something going. So just seeing a brother
Speaker 1: come from where he come from being homeless to owning
Speaker 1: a major network. Now, you know, it's crazy, man. Whether
Speaker 1: you like his movies or not, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you still got to applaud.
Speaker 2: Brother because I'm not a fan of the movies. I'm
Speaker 2: a fan of the struggle and the hustle and to
Speaker 2: come up. And you know, he came from you know what,
Speaker 2: living in his car and all that shit. So the
Speaker 2: the climb is is a you know, I applaud him
Speaker 2: on his success, but I'm not a fan of the
Speaker 2: I've never really sat down and watched the Tyler Perry movie.
Speaker 3: Now I'm a little different. I like his movies. If
Speaker 3: you want to get high and have a good ass laugh,
Speaker 3: watch his movies. But I can't watch his TV shows. Okay,
Speaker 3: I cannot watch I tried it.
Speaker 2: There's a difference between the different Okay, I.
Speaker 3: Think they get it. They like points like he go
Speaker 3: to scenario, just make as shit as you go because
Speaker 3: you're one character, take forever the stakes.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: The thing is, if you've seen one, you kind of
Speaker 1: seen them all. I just seen them all. You kind
Speaker 1: of seen them all because it's the same narrative. It's
Speaker 1: a black woman on there that's mad about something, either
Speaker 1: her seated on or something. It's a villainous ass ex boyfriend,
Speaker 1: and it's a simply to come in and say today
Speaker 1: they wound up getting into a fight.
Speaker 3: With the dude they want. They always in a small
Speaker 3: ass town somewhere and they probably gonna let you slides
Speaker 3: it into the goddamn movie.
Speaker 2: So do you feel his movies make us look fucked
Speaker 2: up as a black man?
Speaker 3: He got some movies that that does make us look
Speaker 3: fucked up. But now I know that when he plays
Speaker 3: in the movies himself, not as madea like that one
Speaker 3: movie he did he was it was a good, solid movie.
Speaker 3: I forgot the name of it. It was, uh he
Speaker 3: saved he up marrying this chick that was homeless with
Speaker 3: a daughter, and shit, that was a good damn anyway,
Speaker 3: Yeah he got He got some movies on both sides
Speaker 3: of the fence, and keep it the one hundred. That's
Speaker 3: that movie called Man, God Damn Alex something Man. Are
Speaker 3: you a fan Alice Cross? Thank you, Alice Cross.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of him as a person. His struggling
Speaker 1: stuff the movies is cool. Or you know, I ain't
Speaker 1: mad at the movies I watch him something like you said,
Speaker 1: when you're sitting up smoking the joint of something and
Speaker 1: you just chilling. They cool to watch because my wife
Speaker 1: liked the motherfuckers, so she she watched him, and you
Speaker 1: was gota wind up watching. We all wind up watching
Speaker 1: what our women like to watch. Right, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I don't be arguing I.

Speaker 2: the woman like to watch. You don't watch TV with
Speaker 2: your girl? No, see you a whole nigga. No, I
Speaker 2: don't know how you get away with that. That's why
Speaker 2: we got That's why it's That's why it's bedrooms with
Speaker 2: TVs because usually I'm in the other room watching what
Speaker 2: I want to watch. I don't want to watch some
Speaker 2: Lifetime program or you know, some some women be watching

Speaker 1: we were reporting on things accurately. This is what they said.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of speculation about who would eventually
Speaker 1: purchase the Beet brand from Perrymont Global, it appears big
Speaker 1: in their filmmaker studio owner Tyler Perry is the front
Speaker 1: runner to be BET's next owner. Over the last several months,
Speaker 1: multiple individuals have expressed interest in buying BT. Hip hop
Speaker 1: artists Moguls, Diddy and fifty Cent were named as potential buyers.
Speaker 1: A new report from The Streamer claims Perry would take
Speaker 1: control of BT Media for an undisclosed amount. Perry previously
Speaker 1: signed a motor year joint venture between Tyler Perry's Studios
Speaker 1: and BT streaming service BT Productions. Oho, my things just
Speaker 1: cut out, But anyway, he's buying it. Man, you know,
Speaker 1: fifty three years old. Man, this man went from being
Speaker 1: homeless to buying a major, a major, major piece of
Speaker 1: black intellectual property. And I and I think it's dope
Speaker 1: that we keeping the black man. I applaud that brother. Man.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he's the greatest filmmaking the world.
Speaker 1: He's got a lot better, right, But I applauded dog.

Speaker 1: is in Prencipe head. Had hein't doing this motherfucking thing.

Speaker 1: he said, not without Loneso, not without lines.
Speaker 2: A lot of niggas came through uh Lonzo's presence as
Speaker 2: far as you know, uh that that door. As far
Speaker 2: as getting a they what do I want to say,
Speaker 2: getting a shot into the music biz, because there was
Speaker 2: not a lot of fucking West Coast artists here before
Speaker 2: you know, Lonzo, the Recon Crew and shit. I couldn't
Speaker 2: even name nobody before then if you asked me.
Speaker 3: Came out right.
Speaker 2: I listened to Todd because you know, Todd was from
Speaker 2: my neighborhood. He was from Tragnew So Todd had TDK tapes.
Speaker 2: That's where I knew Todd from. I knew Recon Crew
Speaker 2: from Surgery to twelve inch. That's why I got introduced
Speaker 2: to the Recon Crew. But as far as records, all
Speaker 2: I knew was y'all. As far as putting out records,
Speaker 2: were you Egypt Unknown had Techno how he was putting
Speaker 2: out you know, based records and the first fucking uh
Speaker 2: Ice Tea records. Then you had fucking dream Team and
Speaker 2: in Rockberry Jam and all of that. So that ship
Speaker 2: right there was all because we were all.
Speaker 3: Dance promoters, all DJs. The whole era, the whole generation
Speaker 3: was totally different. Back then, all we did was gave
Speaker 3: dances and chase chicks. That's all we did.
Speaker 2: So that's why your music kind of was.
Speaker 3: That's why we were That's why we had Jerry Carroll,
Speaker 3: That's why we had them, SUSO were trying to get
Speaker 3: laid and have some fun. Okay, let me ask you one.
Speaker 3: It's just one thing I want to know, bro, what
Speaker 3: was up with the air with all the we got
Speaker 3: this ship from Tour de France. Man, that ship was
Speaker 3: the hottest shit in the club at the time. Man,
Speaker 3: look at craft work, all meet Rerecord Crew egypt A
Speaker 3: lot of our it was dance Dance Records, the Record
Speaker 3: Crew Egyptian lover fucking out of New York, Uh soul
Speaker 3: sohnic Force. That was the ship that and vocoders Okay,
Speaker 3: the mechanical ship. That's all that was a that was
Speaker 3: the musical sound that was like that was like our
Speaker 3: fucking version of goddamn auto tune. Okay, it was like that.
Speaker 3: That was that was for that era. Okay. Everybody has
Speaker 3: something they do different in every era. And for the dance,
Speaker 3: for the dance sets at that time, everybody was breathing
Speaker 3: on their records. Okay. The nigga had asked, well, he
Speaker 3: couldn't make a mother fucking record. Okay, that's what the
Speaker 3: damn sure sound like the thing in the back wrong.
Speaker 2: And see.
Speaker 3: If we got this year form like we got it
Speaker 3: from craft work list the craft work.
Speaker 2: So when did you notice, as like you said, that
Speaker 2: was your era, when did you feel and notice that
Speaker 2: hip hop so to speak, started changing?
Speaker 3: Hip hop started changing for us around eighty seven, eighty six,
Speaker 3: eighty seven, because we started in eighty two. I started
Speaker 3: in eighty two, but West Coast hip hop started changing
Speaker 3: around eighty six eighty seven because we made turn off
Speaker 3: the lights. That was around the same year that Dred
Speaker 3: Radium left right after turn off the lights and formed
Speaker 3: the NWA and y'all came up right behind them. So
Speaker 3: it was like the late eighties and ice he had
Speaker 3: already done his thing, but even then it hadn't it
Speaker 3: hadn't officially changed over completely because we still was doing
Speaker 3: dancings and shit. It was like we were in that
Speaker 3: curve we you know that mix. You know, it's still
Speaker 3: Nigga's still dancing, but they really started banging. They still dancing,
Speaker 3: but they started banging, and all of a sudden they
Speaker 3: stopped dancing and started banging. The whole thing just changed completely.
Speaker 3: And even when we were going tour. First started going
Speaker 3: on tour, all we played was R and B, R
Speaker 3: and B groups. All it was record crew, rerecord crew,
Speaker 3: fucking Mary Jane girls, more stay in the time ship
Speaker 3: like that. Then around the second and third year we
Speaker 3: started seeing Force Him D's and other acts like that. Okay,
Speaker 3: because even though even though West cost even the East
Speaker 3: Coast acts were doing more like an R and B thing,
Speaker 3: you had to Force Him D's and even Cold Mo
Speaker 3: d though he was a rapper, his music was R
Speaker 3: with R and B music type. Okay, So by the
Speaker 3: time my last tour with n W A, I never
Speaker 3: forget it was n w A Eazy E just Ice
Speaker 3: Uh and Ice T and World Class Record crew. We're
Speaker 3: the headliner because turn up lights of the hottest record
Speaker 3: of all this hit right Easy of them just starting up.
Speaker 3: They we just broke up, but dre and yelling them
Speaker 3: with Easy them and we on tour with all these gangsters.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, Jerry, I'm telling you, because Erry Heller
Speaker 3: was my manager, I'm like, dude, how are we on
Speaker 3: the school?
Speaker 2: This ain't gonna work for us.
Speaker 3: Now we had the biggest song, wasn't nobody checking for Easy?
Speaker 3: And then like that, just yet they were only getting
Speaker 3: minimum wage fifteen hundred dollars. Now I'm getting seven eight grand, Okay,
Speaker 3: iceed T still he's still was iced Tea. Oh he
Speaker 3: always been Iced Tea. He getting a little bit little,
Speaker 3: probably get the same money as I am. But because
Speaker 3: I had the biggest record, I was considered to draw
Speaker 3: at that time. But they had all these gangs to
Speaker 3: acts on the show. And that's when the whole thing
Speaker 3: changed for us because now you can't get laid after
Speaker 3: the show no more. You got to fight. Oh god, Yah,
Speaker 3: thing changed.
Speaker 2: Huh. It was a lot of bullshiting the tour.
Speaker 3: I was bullshit. Then by that time I picked up
Speaker 3: battle Cat, Richie Rich and Mona Lisa to do turn
Speaker 3: off Lights. So battle Cat was a young nineteen year
Speaker 3: old kids straight out of the sixties rolling with me
Speaker 3: on tour for the first time.
Speaker 2: That's what I was wanna say. Who did you get
Speaker 2: to replace Dre? And yelling?
Speaker 3: Battle Cat was replacing Dre Richie Rich, he was with
Speaker 3: the dream Team for a minute. And and uh, Mona Lisa,
Speaker 3: who sang lovers in the first time. Uh, that's who

Speaker 3: lot I ever told all the ship I've ever done.
Speaker 3: Niggas a lied on me in all kinds of ways.
Speaker 3: They lied on me and Jesus all the time. And
Speaker 3: they lied on me when they did Jesus. Okay, And

Speaker 2: Dot.
Speaker 1: So So let me ask you this line. So Dre
Speaker 1: admitt her through your interactions up yeah studio. Okay, so cool.
Speaker 1: I thought that might have been his chick or something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Big dude, dude. Mister Lee was like eighteen, she just
Speaker 3: graduated high school, and uh she would come to the
Speaker 3: studio hang out sometime, but she didn't hang out with

Speaker 3: and usually get I get up, either me or one
Speaker 3: of the fellas get up and take her home. I
Speaker 3: had no idea her and Dre had any kind of interaction.
Speaker 2: So you never saw none of that. I like to
Speaker 2: be careful on what you say, yeah, because I'll be
Speaker 2: telling you about what you be giving your questions. I
Speaker 2: don't want to.
Speaker 1: Become that that type of messy ass podcast. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, putting out ship, you know, but.
Speaker 2: Because we always got to keep his ass off for
Speaker 2: certain ship, you know what I'm saying, Because he likes to,
Speaker 2: you know, walk that thin line sometime.
Speaker 1: The legs, the laserd abuse that was going on at
Speaker 1: the time, you never saw, never saw something because I
Speaker 1: know these movies have a ten.
Speaker 2: That's a lifetime ship. Ship. Man.
Speaker 3: I remember also at that time he might know what
Speaker 3: I'm confident at that time at my house, nobody drank
Speaker 3: sup or flipped him. I just see, I didn't see
Speaker 3: no a ball till the nigga showed up.
Speaker 2: The gangs.
Speaker 3: Niggas come with a ball and all kind of ship. Okay,
Speaker 3: Dre them didn't drink, they didn't. We didn't even smoke
Speaker 3: weed or nothing. These youngsters bought all the bad habits.
Speaker 2: In my house. We came with the gangster ship.
Speaker 1: Was it a shock to you when you saw Dre
Speaker 1: make that transition into doing the type of music he
Speaker 1: was doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the music was always good.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I just was like I knew all the guys personally.
Speaker 3: They never came off to me like that, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. These guys were. They came up to
Speaker 3: me cool, but they was I knew that, I knew
Speaker 3: where they were from. They was different. I never saw
Speaker 3: them do anything, but they had a different vibe about them.
Speaker 3: I watched Dre, I knew Dre, I knew Cube, I
Speaker 3: knew Yeller. I knew that, I knew they vibe was
Speaker 3: totally different. So it kind of blew me away. They
Speaker 3: gonna do what, Okay, cool if y'all buy it, they
Speaker 3: sell it. Y'all buy it, get a receipt.
Speaker 2: And go home.
Speaker 1: I said, right there, Now, let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: and this is about the business part. Because you were
Speaker 1: signed the techno pop right like hop technical hop you was.
Speaker 1: You were signing the techno hop. Yeah, was his stand
Speaker 1: to practice back then because he wasn't signed the CMWO,
Speaker 1: wasn't signed to you outside of the one project. But
Speaker 1: it can almost be misconstrue this exploitation kind of because
Speaker 1: they took you know, like Unknown took E's publisher.
Speaker 3: Now that right there, I can't speak on simply because
Speaker 3: when I did a compilation album, my my one of
Speaker 3: my things was to try and get everybody a deal
Speaker 3: on that first compilation eight got picked up PG. Thirteen
Speaker 3: got picked up. But now the sea got picked up.
Speaker 2: What happened to the what happened to West Coast Distributors?
Speaker 3: Man, we went broke. We went fucking broke because that
Speaker 3: was the plan. That was the plan. Yeah, okay, we
Speaker 3: the company West Coast. West Coast Record Distributors was the
Speaker 3: first company owned by artists, Me Rudy from the Dream
Speaker 3: Team Unknown in Egypt. It was my idea. I put
Speaker 3: all these cats together. We drove down to San Diego
Speaker 3: to the NORM Convention National Association of Record Merchandisers, cut
Speaker 3: a deal with the labels where they buy from us.
Speaker 3: They say, yeah, if y'all do it, we'll buy it
Speaker 3: from you. We shot back to La went to Rainbow
Speaker 3: Records in Santa Monica. Talked to Steve, say, Steve, we
Speaker 3: leave him a cola. We're gonna we got people that
Speaker 3: sit they'll buy from us. Well, we pressed our records.
Speaker 3: He said, yes, how much you're gonna charge us? We
Speaker 3: want to charge you the record. I said, charge just
Speaker 3: the regular price. He said, yeah, we need a line
Speaker 3: of credit. He gave me Egypt, Rudy and Unknown twenty
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars line of credit, not a piece of
Speaker 3: paperwork in the motherfucking room. Hundred grand credit credit line
Speaker 3: for Rainbow Records, not a piece of paper, just based
Speaker 3: on our selling ability. My first project was CMW. I'd
Speaker 3: been there about now, about six eight months. Okay, well,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. The first project was Compilation. I've been there
Speaker 3: about six eight months. And what we did not know
Speaker 3: is that one of our partners was buying shit and
Speaker 3: getting advances on because back then, in the independent record situation,
Speaker 3: you could go to the distributor, Hey look I got
Speaker 3: a new project coming out. I need advance on my project. Okay,
Speaker 3: But because we were a distributor, they took it against
Speaker 3: the distribution company and not that particular label, whoever's product
Speaker 3: came out, they just got their money from. Y'all got
Speaker 3: figured out for yourself.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: See what I'm saying, we're gonna charge it. We're gonna
Speaker 3: charge this ten thousand, twenty thousand dollars to the fucking
Speaker 3: distribution company. So when y'all come out, instead of y'all
Speaker 3: getting now we build a shit, we're gonna get our
Speaker 3: twenty grand back. I don't care what the product it is.
Speaker 3: So when it came down to it, the compilation was
Speaker 3: the next project coming through, so it got caught up
Speaker 3: in that ship. So now I got to actually, I
Speaker 3: gotta go to the Egyptian lever and hey man, y'all
Speaker 3: owe me eighty grand. We sold like shit, like thinking
Speaker 3: like ten fifteen thousand copies like that, okay, that we
Speaker 3: were setting CDs. We was building them at like nine
Speaker 3: fifty apiece. Yeah, so that was eighty grand minus present.
Speaker 3: Did you ever get your money from? Never got my
Speaker 3: goddamn money. Never got to let me. And see the
Speaker 3: thing about distribution too. When you're going to look at
Speaker 3: a label situation, set up, whatever record falters, right, it
Speaker 3: comes up the top thing.
Speaker 1: That's why they don't mind giving you advances because they
Speaker 1: got a line of records coming up.
Speaker 3: That's the whole that's the whole thing about the record industry.
Speaker 3: Most cats don't understand. It's about your credibility. So if
Speaker 3: you got four labels that's under one distribution company, somebody
Speaker 3: gonna drop a record in the next few months, and
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna get my money back one way
Speaker 3: or another. I don't care who it is. I just
Speaker 3: want my money back. Y'all figure out who y'all gonna
Speaker 3: charge you back to and that's where the ship got
Speaker 3: fucked up at. So now they were supposed to drop
Speaker 3: some ship to offset our ship, and we end up going.
Speaker 3: We end up falling out after that. So now we
Speaker 3: got struck with it. Then we get stuck with the
Speaker 3: with the pressing bill. So they got hit with the
Speaker 3: pressing bill. You followed me, so they got they got
Speaker 3: hit with the pressing bill. So now my money is
Speaker 3: tied up and they advances, they get struck with the
Speaker 3: pressing bill. So now everybody mad. So who who the who?
Speaker 3: The Egyptian leveling them go get the advance from man
Speaker 3: probably want probably countter for the record distributors. And see here,
Speaker 3: here's here's the bad part about it. He don't know
Speaker 3: what happened because he wasn't running his own label. His
Speaker 3: girlfriend was running his label.
Speaker 2: So she went and got the bread.
Speaker 3: She went and got the bread, and then we sat
Speaker 3: down a few years later, this bitch was stealing from everybody.
Speaker 1: It's always a motherfucker stealing. And that's what I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, because I know in these movies they always
Speaker 1: show it's a big bad white man somewhere stealing some shit,
Speaker 1: right And I said, man, it seemed like the brothers
Speaker 1: was doing niggas worse than worse than the motherfucking people.
Speaker 3: We all finally sat down and came you know, niggas.
Speaker 3: For a while, was like, hot, dude, you owe me this.
Speaker 3: This niggas looking at me crazy, I'm nigga John crazy.
Speaker 3: Everybody looking at everybody crazy, And I'm like, well, what
Speaker 3: the fuck. So after after the niggas calmed down and
Speaker 3: had a conversation when they were man, well what about
Speaker 3: this right here? Oh man, I did this. I thought this,
Speaker 3: I thought that, what the fuck this? By this time,
Speaker 3: him and the old girl that broke up, she gone,
Speaker 3: And then I found out for another part to mind about,
Speaker 3: because here's the here's the crazy part about it. I
Speaker 3: ain't tell you all this shit. We had me and
Speaker 3: me and my party Charles. We had got a deal
Speaker 3: for the Coptain's for the coptain compilation with uh. I
Speaker 3: think it was UH, CBS or Sony one of them too.
Speaker 3: I tell you the guy's name. The name is Tobrey Emric.

Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yes, I went back to the rest of the the
Speaker 3: next day and got the rest of my goddamn records.
Speaker 3: No bullshit.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, man, because you've been depicted
Speaker 1: in a lot of movies now, and that's all I
Speaker 1: can go off because I wasn't there back then. The
Speaker 1: way they paint your character in these movies, that you
Speaker 1: had a very great dislike hip hop, that you didn't.
Speaker 3: Like it, that's the biggest live of fucking toe man.
Speaker 3: The first motherfucker bringing hip hop actor Los Angeles, I'm
Speaker 3: the first one to bring the curtains, blow and run
Speaker 3: d MTDLA.
Speaker 2: No, let's say they say he didn't like gangster shit. Nope,
Speaker 2: that's what they're saying. No, understand this, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 2: they're saying. Understand this.
Speaker 3: When it came to nw A, my only problem with
Speaker 3: them was the fucking name. Man.
Speaker 2: I'm born in the fifties. I'm sixty six years old.
Speaker 3: When as I grew up as a young man in Compton,
Speaker 3: when I heard somebody call somebody a nigga, it was
Speaker 3: a negative connotation. It was nothing there was not a
Speaker 3: term of endearment. It was not a term of endearment.
Speaker 3: My daddy saw nigga that nigga, Oh my god, that nigga.
Speaker 3: Don't nigga your car up shit like that. That's my
Speaker 3: daddy told me that shit, so I couldn't get with
Speaker 3: the name. Second of all, when they first came out,
Speaker 3: they were not doing gangster rap. They were doing reality rap.
Speaker 3: Something here, something to dance to, Panic Zone, Charles Wright's songs. Uh,
Speaker 3: what you doing I'm talking about when they was in jail,
Speaker 3: express yourself. That was that what they was doing where.
Speaker 3: I think the biggest problem me had on the West
Speaker 3: Coast is, man, if people don't realize mostly cats don't
Speaker 3: know what the fuck I had to go through to
Speaker 3: get this ship, keep this ship going. I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: take credit for by myself. I can't do that. I
Speaker 3: cannot say he didn't tell you Lonzo did the West
Speaker 3: Coast by herself. That's bullshit. Lonzo had Roger Roger clated
Speaker 3: from Uncle Jam's Army Rest in peaceknown DJ. We three
Speaker 3: were three musketeers of this shit.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they want to do any goddamn
Speaker 3: talking though, and see.
Speaker 1: I know you can't speak for Unknown, and I don't
Speaker 1: know that, brother, but if A would have had some
Speaker 1: legal representation, because you weren't even eighteen yet, was no
Speaker 1: and so to Eights Publishing. And I ain't trying to
Speaker 1: hold you account for that. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: This is what I say when it comes to I
Speaker 1: always tell niggas niggas had to pay their dues. That's
Speaker 1: why I look at it like now I'm fifty two
Speaker 1: years old, but I tell every nigga that a lot
Speaker 1: of us had to pay our dues. When it came
Speaker 1: to getting into, uh, the music business. I had no
Speaker 1: fucking idea how I was gonna actually make a record.
Speaker 1: I used to be in the garage at the Homie
Speaker 1: House making TDK tapes like Toddy T talking about the hood,
Speaker 1: rapping about gangster shit and niggas who sold dope and
Speaker 1: the homie who went to the fucking jail last night.
Speaker 1: So by the chance meeting of Lonzo getting on the
Speaker 1: Compton compilation is how we met Unknown. A known had
Speaker 1: techno hop a known had.
Speaker 2: Iced tea your dog in the wax you don't quitch
Speaker 2: songs like that, he had keen t he had the
Speaker 2: coolest and you better bring a gun. So from there,
Speaker 2: Uh going to Lonzo's fucking with Slip. We met Unknown
Speaker 2: Ann had techno hop. I think we put out a
Speaker 2: fucking We put out an EP on cassette This is
Speaker 2: Compton and had three songs on it. I think, give
Speaker 2: it up, this is Compton. I give up nothing. The
Speaker 2: plan was what Unknown told us was that our record
Speaker 2: was finna come out through West Coast Record Distributors. That's
Speaker 2: what he told us, So I guess at the time,
Speaker 2: that's when y'all was going through y'all shit, shit started
Speaker 2: changing and then anone ended up meeting I forgot the
Speaker 2: dude now, no, no. He ended up meeting the white
Speaker 2: dude who worked for par Records. They had par Records
Speaker 2: back then. Chu yes, he and through Chuck he met.
Speaker 2: I forgot the dude name. But the dude had ties
Speaker 2: with Orpheus and Capitol, so aknown took them are disscontact.
Speaker 2: He met Charles Huggins and some white dude who worked
Speaker 2: He ended up working for Morgan Creek. They it was
Speaker 2: a white dude, but they took the dis iss Compton
Speaker 2: EP took it up there and that's how Unknown got
Speaker 2: a deal for us. Now I signed a recording I
Speaker 2: ain't honestly, I ain't know shit about publishing. I ain't
Speaker 2: no shit about it. I know nothing about writing your
Speaker 2: own songs and none of that shit. I was fucking seventeen,
Speaker 2: eighteen year old kid from Compton. I wanted to make records.
Speaker 2: That was my dream. You get me niggas in the
Speaker 2: hood every day selling dope, getting shot at. So it
Speaker 2: was my dream to ooh, fucking you get me, you know,
Speaker 2: to make records. You know, I don't know Texano shit
Speaker 2: ik known. I signed a contract with Unknown. It was
Speaker 2: a recording contract. I ain't know nothing about publishing. Unknown
Speaker 2: took a publishing exhibit and he stapled in on the
Speaker 2: back of the recording contract. That's how he was able
Speaker 2: to control the publishing. So but I didn't don't get
Speaker 2: your writers, no, and only gave me nothing.
Speaker 3: People to get. Even if he got the published, he
Speaker 3: was simple to get your writers.
Speaker 2: I didn't get anything A known I know. I think
Speaker 2: I think Capitol gave orpheus two fifty Charles pocketed one
Speaker 2: sixty just fuck it, and then that left anknone with
Speaker 2: ninety grand for us to do the first CMW record
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I might have got about maybe
Speaker 2: seventy five hundred.
Speaker 3: He gave me fifteen mm at the party gift.

Speaker 2: He went into my checking account, took a thousand dollars
Speaker 2: out and went bought me a portable DT machine. I said, Nigga,
Speaker 2: I don't need that motherfucker. Shit the fuck I need
Speaker 2: a nigga. I need my money. I don't need ADT machine.
Speaker 2: He was like, nigga, you stupid, you need to And
Speaker 2: from that day we fell out and he couldn't even
Speaker 2: go by the debt machine for you. I remember we
Speaker 2: was at the studio. We was at Slips that night,
Speaker 2: and I was pissed off that the nigga had spent
Speaker 2: a thousand dollars in my money. We was over Slips
Speaker 2: getting loaded. You know, we Slipper getting loaded as a motherfucker.
Speaker 2: We had Slips house getting loaded. A known over there too.
Speaker 2: He leave his check book. Me and Slip go through
Speaker 2: his check book. We seen he had just got a
Speaker 2: publishing deal with MCA for like seventy grand and they
Speaker 2: gave me twenty five hundred dollars. I wrote every fucking
Speaker 2: song on music to drive by on fucking straight, checking
Speaker 2: him on fucking it's a comptant thing. He gave me
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars and walked away with sixty whatever
Speaker 2: he walked away with, and that's when I said, I
Speaker 2: got to give me an attorney, and that's when we
Speaker 2: split the deal, and that's when I finally was able
Speaker 2: to break away from Unknown. And I never I never
Speaker 2: tried to sue him. I never tried to do none
Speaker 2: of that shit. I chalked it up as I had
Speaker 2: to pay my fucking dues, you get me. That's why
Speaker 2: I looked at it. I never had any regrets about it.
Speaker 2: Other niggas was like, nigga, if I was with you, nigga,
Speaker 2: we would have went at that, nigga. But I looked
Speaker 2: at it as how else would I would have gotten
Speaker 2: a business? You feel mesion. So that's what I looked
Speaker 2: at it as. And I tell every nigga, I had
Speaker 2: to pay my dues. And if that's what you want
Speaker 2: to chalk it up, is paying my dues, because in
Speaker 2: the end of it, I'm here right now. My career
Speaker 2: went you know it went cool. I didn't hit fucking
Speaker 2: I didn't hit Dre and Snoop status. But like I
Speaker 2: tell niggas every day, I'm comfortable where I'm where I'm at.
Speaker 2: You feel me. I don't have no regrets at all.
Speaker 3: You know what, Dude, I can respect that. Man. I
Speaker 3: tell Cash all the time. Man, you should have did nothing.
Speaker 2: That ain't what I do. Man.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just certain shit I don't do. Okay,
Speaker 3: when you had to understand it, going to going going
Speaker 3: back to hip hop for a minute. Hip hop at
Speaker 3: one point in time was just like house party versus
Speaker 3: boys in the hood, just like that, like watching you're
Speaker 3: watching house party on one channel. Did you turn your
Speaker 3: channel and there's boys in the hood. That's how this
Speaker 3: ship changed. Niggas went from gunny haircuts and dancing around
Speaker 3: and hopping around and ship to shoot that motherfuckers just
Speaker 3: like that craping dude, And that's how it flipped up.
Speaker 3: Crack changed everything. I didn't see the major effect on
Speaker 3: it because by time, the EVE didn't feel it because
Speaker 3: we was niggas were still starting powder cocaine at the EVE.
Speaker 3: That was that was the drug, powder cocaine, and we shared.
Speaker 2: We couldn't come up to the Okay Man.
Speaker 3: That was the drugs. And then by the time I
Speaker 3: got to do those, my crowd got younger. So I
Speaker 3: didn't see a lot of drugs that plust I had
Speaker 3: the police at the front door. I didn't see a
Speaker 3: lot of drugs. My neighborhood changed where I grew up
Speaker 3: at cham because Castle was selling pills. Now they started
Speaker 3: they were selling weed. But now they starting to sell
Speaker 3: crack and ship started changing real hard in like the
Speaker 3: late eighties early nineties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went back to the Eve again, man, and
Speaker 2: I went back to the even the nineties. Man, I
Speaker 2: went to come up to the Eve, I was like, boy,
Speaker 2: it's treacherous around Okay that went as the dog was.
Speaker 4: That bad man.
Speaker 3: When I came back in the nineties, he was rough
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 2: Man. That neighborhood around.
Speaker 3: First opened the Eve up and seventy nine, I wore
Speaker 3: a suit to work every day because I because I
Speaker 3: had to, because I wanted to. That was the vibe
Speaker 3: of the Eve. When I came back in ninety two,
Speaker 3: Nigga had to wear genis and tennis shoes everyday because
Speaker 3: Nigga was fighting. Man. It wasn't even like. It wasn't
Speaker 3: even the party no more. It was wait to see
Speaker 3: how many niggas gonna get fight, how men niggas gonna
Speaker 3: fight tonight. I couldn't even sit in the office. I
Speaker 3: used to be telling me, I go to my office,
Speaker 3: have me a girl back. Should be people be listening
Speaker 3: to this ship. I'll be getting caught up on this ship.
Speaker 3: But uh, i'd had company, and now I got to
Speaker 3: walk the floor like my security guards. Man, I'm wearing
Speaker 3: I went dressed like I am right. He was a whole.
Speaker 3: It was a whole, different atole different.
Speaker 2: Man, motherucking av line and Elsi Dondo. You got your
Speaker 2: Giama village down the street. You got Athens Park, you
Speaker 2: got the motherfucking you can senten of your one five.
Speaker 3: Garden peas.
Speaker 2: Man, It's surrounded by nothing but the blood homies, so
Speaker 2: you all ain't ever perform up there. Man. I think
Speaker 2: I went up to the eve one time, man, and
Speaker 2: we snuck up in there. That place was treacherous. Man.
Speaker 3: If you if you came with my brother, my brother
Speaker 3: was a shotgun, you was all right. My brother ran
Speaker 3: with the shotguns, but he also lived. He went to
Speaker 3: school of Guardena where he lived with my mama. My
Speaker 3: daddy had the patent guard diener so he would hang
Speaker 3: with the bloods during the evening time, but go to
Speaker 3: school with the crips and shotguns. But my daddy had
Speaker 3: a line in the service. We cut lines under three
Speaker 3: and one three five, So I knew everybody. And because
Speaker 3: I never gang bang, I got a music pass because
Speaker 3: I'm the DJ. I said, DJ cool, he cool, he
Speaker 3: you know, that was my thing. That's why I never
Speaker 3: tripped on shit like that, because I had the music
Speaker 3: and I was doing parties in nineteen seventy six everywhere
Speaker 3: watch Compton Gardena essays. UH didn't make no damn difference.
Speaker 3: So the music was always my past. But when I
Speaker 3: got to the Eve, I got a different kind of pass.
Speaker 3: Going to that loneso spy. He don't really gang bang,
Speaker 3: but everybody knew my and they knew where it was,
Speaker 3: so that they came respectful when they did come, even
Speaker 3: like Snake Puppy from La Dream Team. He told he
Speaker 3: was telling me, told me many a time. Him and
Speaker 3: the Egyptian lover he used to walk to that motherfucker
Speaker 3: from UH. They lived on sixty something. They would walk
Speaker 3: through the eve and didn't didn't trip. When Snake Puppy
Speaker 3: lived in Watts Egypt, lived across town someplace, they would
Speaker 3: walk sixty blocks in the eve because the eve said,
Speaker 3: oh until five o'clock in the morning. It wasn't always
Speaker 3: fucked up. It got fucked It didn't have its issues.
Speaker 3: Don't get me angle sitting sit here, live about nothing.
Speaker 3: We did have our issue. We had our bad nights. Okay.
Speaker 3: Sometimes if turn people got outnumbered, it go down. But
Speaker 3: for the most part, in the early days, it was
Speaker 3: a piece of cake. It didn't get really rough. Taill
Speaker 3: the ship man right before I got ready to shut
Speaker 3: it down. After it shit started happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I want to go back to something
Speaker 1: real quick. You the one your company initially put the
Speaker 1: Compton compilation out, correct. Yeah, So that means that those
Speaker 1: groups on that compilation, if a deal was to rise
Speaker 1: out of it the summer, it seemed like they would
Speaker 1: have went through you.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 3: Com just most wanted went through Unknown, but another c
Speaker 3: went through My boy Charles hit a single deal with
Speaker 3: her went through PG thirteen went to Unknown also, So
Speaker 3: it was my pot he was. He was a part
Speaker 3: of West Coast, but the groups didn't come to West Coast.
Speaker 3: You followed me by the time we started having issues,
Speaker 3: so I didn't want Why.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you didn't have first DIBs at
Speaker 2: trying to get those groups deals since all of them
Speaker 2: came through Crew Cut.
Speaker 3: You know what, I've always been a little bit different minded, man,
Speaker 3: because at that time, new hip hop was so new.
Speaker 3: I got the studio, I'm doing clubs. I'm getting the
Speaker 3: asks all the time I've been here. You know, give
Speaker 3: me something, give me something, go, give me something. Go.
Speaker 3: That was always my attitude. Okay. I was always on
Speaker 3: a different situation. I provide the platforms. I didn't really
Speaker 3: want to be nobody's manager. I'm not a producer. I
Speaker 3: don't make beats. And Jerry Hiller was with you at first.
Speaker 3: Jerry Hiller was with me first. I don't make beats
Speaker 3: our own studios, our own nightclubs, our own platforms. I
Speaker 3: give people the shots. Okay, I provide an opportunity. So
Speaker 3: if I give you opportunity and somebody says, hey, man,
Speaker 3: one of my boys, like right even right now, I
Speaker 3: ain't made a record of dad in the thirty five years, Man,
Speaker 3: I got this dude, I got, I got a rapper
Speaker 3: or I got when I got this, I bake beats.
Speaker 3: I still hook people together right to this day. I
Speaker 3: get my money now, I do a little bit different,
Speaker 3: but I hooked people up. That's what I've That's what
Speaker 3: I've always done. I'm not about an artist. I've made records,
Speaker 3: I write songs, but I'm not a fucking artist, per se.
Speaker 3: I ain't you know, nigga put me against a thousand motherfuckers.
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna be last when it come to rapper.
Speaker 3: But when it come to motherfucker, they put niggas on.
Speaker 3: Anybody put more niggas on to me.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, man, did Jerry ever come
Speaker 1: to you because you looked them up with easy in them, right, sir?
Speaker 1: Did he ever straighten you out for that?
Speaker 2: Hell no?
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. And you know I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say that. Ain't no other way. That's what Jerry
Speaker 1: Hillar a crook, Jerry Hillo. It depends on how you
Speaker 1: want to how you define crook. I wouldn't call him
Speaker 1: a crook, but he was smart. He knew what he
Speaker 1: was dealing with and he knew like, uhnn.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna say people other people did take advantage
Speaker 3: of certain people exactly. That's why I've always I always
Speaker 3: felt that he did not want me too close to
Speaker 3: the fellas.
Speaker 2: Understand this.
Speaker 3: I'm in business at nineteen DJ and already I got
Speaker 3: my first club at twenty two. I know how to count,
Speaker 3: I know twenty percent equals. And Jerry had already experienced
Speaker 3: my business acumen when we got our CBS deal. Because
Speaker 3: when I got my CBS deal, we got head hunted
Speaker 3: from by Larket Arnold, Larkin Arnold's big time producer bad
Speaker 3: Boy from uh He the one discovered Frankie Beverly and
Speaker 3: Maze brought Marvin Gay over to CBS, the whole nine yards.
Speaker 3: So we got head hunted from a Coola to go
Speaker 3: to CBS Sony. And when it came time to do
Speaker 3: the deal, Jerry didn't get me the deal. I got
Speaker 3: my own damn deal. So now come time and do
Speaker 3: the paperwork. I don't have a manager. Jerry wants to
Speaker 3: be my manager. I called my lawyer. I said, Hey,
Speaker 3: my name is kN Claven still around. I said, Ken,
Speaker 3: do I need a manager for this project? He said,
Speaker 3: for what you need a manager for? I said, well,
Speaker 3: don't you need a manager to do Yourn said, No,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do the negotiations. All your manager gonna do
Speaker 3: is call you and tell you what I said. Then
Speaker 3: you're gonna say yes or no. He gonna call me
Speaker 3: and tell me yes or no. Okay, so cut out
Speaker 3: the middle man, buy your stuff a cell phone and
Speaker 3: be ready to answer the phone. That's how I learned
Speaker 3: the game. Because they wouldn't given record music business lessons
Speaker 3: back then. Hell, they wasn't given lessons out then. Okay,
Speaker 3: what no YouTube was, no no books, wasn't no music universities.
Speaker 3: So if you didn't know somebody that was gonna put
Speaker 3: you up on some game, you wasn't gonna get none.
Speaker 3: So he charged me. I think it was like seventy
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars. Do do the negotiations with the with Sony.
Speaker 3: I'm learning the game. He explained this shit to me.
Speaker 3: As I'm going I'm getting bill for it. But it's
Speaker 3: the best lesson I ever got. You get bill for college,
Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying. So as this shit is
Speaker 3: going on, I'm learning the game. So now Jerry realized
Speaker 3: that this motherfucker's pretty smart. He don't need.
Speaker 2: He don't need me.
Speaker 3: So I saved the crew twenty grand by doing the
Speaker 3: deal myself, because if we had, if we had to
Speaker 3: deal deal with Jerry, we had to give Jerry twenty
Speaker 3: thousand plus get a lawyer seven thousand. That's twenty seven
Speaker 3: thousand off of one hundred. Now we got a seventy
Speaker 3: thousand dollar budget to work with because I did the
Speaker 3: deal with myself instead of having seventy five hundred, Now
Speaker 3: we got ninety seven thousand.
Speaker 2: To work with.
Speaker 3: Makes sense to me, make a big difference. They make
Speaker 3: a bigg ass difference. And I bought my own studio.
Speaker 3: I bought my own demo studio, made all my beasts
Speaker 3: at the pad first, then went to the big studio
Speaker 3: and recorded that shit. So now I got all this equipment,
Speaker 3: I got a studio, I got we got twenty grand
Speaker 3: extra to spend to fuck off or whatever. That's what
Speaker 3: we did, fuck it off, Okay. And this is how
Speaker 3: I was always taught to think. So I had a
Speaker 3: different mindset. I wasn't stuck on being the artist. I
Speaker 3: wasn't stuck on being a label on a per se.
Speaker 3: I was just trying. I was trying to get about
Speaker 3: to get us the game as fast as possible. You
Speaker 3: were a businessman. I was a businessman, but my only
Speaker 3: problem was with the music ship and the music but
Speaker 3: shifted being of my business. They got more gangsters, got
Speaker 3: more straight shit. I backed up because that ain't what
Speaker 3: I do. I don't want to ask. So you saw
Speaker 3: Sugar and all of them come in. I saw all
Speaker 3: them coming in, and my experiences out of Compton as
Speaker 3: a young man growing up realized. I realized, if you
Speaker 3: ain't prepared to kill a motherfucker, leave me alone.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't been in.
Speaker 3: Through a lot of shit. Man shot it motherfuckers, and
Speaker 3: I ain't no gangster. I didn't shot it motherfuckers, then
Speaker 3: shot at the whole nine. If that's not that's not
Speaker 3: what I fucking do. So I don't want to go
Speaker 3: back through that ship. So surviving Eve after Dark, surviving
Speaker 3: do though, surviving Skateland, I don't want to be. I
Speaker 3: don't want to be a motherfucking gangster man. I'd have
Speaker 3: done some gangster shit, but that ain't what I that's
Speaker 3: that's not my my forefront. I'm like any other motherfucker.
Speaker 3: I nigga. I do what I got to do to survive,
Speaker 3: but that ain't what I do.
Speaker 1: You know, seeing you go through your it's funny, man,
Speaker 1: your history kind of parallel what I go through right
Speaker 1: now because I was one of the first dudes in
Speaker 1: LA doing podcasts, okay, so I helped the lot of
Speaker 1: people out, really genuinely try to help motherfuckers out. A
Speaker 1: lot of times was losing money, you know, with helping people.
Speaker 1: But it always comes back in the end that you
Speaker 1: can never satisfy people. You're never satisfied people. You go
Speaker 1: always get blamed for everything.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's definitely a bit should deal with artists. When you
Speaker 3: deal with artists, a lot of times, if they're successful,
Speaker 3: it's all about me. But if you fail, niggas your fault.
Speaker 3: I didn't write that shit. I just well, you didn't
Speaker 3: do this. So people usually wanted to make a scapegoat.
Speaker 3: I know, I didn't want to be nobody es scapegoats.
Speaker 3: I'd rather give you a shot being gonna do your things.
Speaker 3: Good luck, good luck, And that's always been my motherfucking
Speaker 3: forte Well.
Speaker 1: I like eights attitude with it all because I always
Speaker 1: feel like if somebody give you an opportunity to change
Speaker 1: your life. You gotta take the bidder with the suite. Definitely,
Speaker 1: they will never be perfect. But I look at it
Speaker 1: like right now, like if Charlemagne called me tomorrow and
Speaker 1: see it. Hey, man, we can't fuck with the show
Speaker 1: no more. I ain't got nothing bad to say about it.
Speaker 1: That motherfucker do some pretty good money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just people expect, you know, your attitude to
Speaker 2: be different. I don't know. Like I said, i'n't been
Speaker 2: through a lot of other ship and from the situation
Speaker 2: that you know that happened, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks ago. I'll be like, Man,
Speaker 2: it's it's just another lesson learned, and from from from
Speaker 2: where out in been now. I done been places. Motherfuckers
Speaker 2: will never go you give me for I haven't been
Speaker 2: around the world. You give me foreign countries and all
Speaker 2: kinds of shit. So I just tell niggas, you know,
Speaker 2: you gotta pay your dues when you gotta pay your
Speaker 2: dues with anything though, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 2: that's why I never go around and try to, you know,
Speaker 2: push that narrative of really just bad mouth and motherfuckers
Speaker 2: like some motherfuckers do try to stay away from the
Speaker 2: negative bullshit. You know, sometimes you might, you know, get
Speaker 2: questioned about certain shit, but in all, in all, I
Speaker 2: tell a nigga, I wouldn't trade it for nothing, you
Speaker 2: get me.
Speaker 3: I think I am crushed about that corny shit though, Well,
Speaker 3: well I'm hurt. I'm hurt, nigga, I'm.
Speaker 2: Listen my opinion because you know what I'm saying. Like
Speaker 2: you said it, though, let me put it in a
Speaker 2: different perspective. Our shit was a lot of dance orientated music,
Speaker 2: you get me. We didn't have the you know, like
Speaker 2: you said, the first shit you probably heard when my
Speaker 2: nigga was talking some street shit was Toddy t you
Speaker 2: feel me. So a lot of our music was electro, electro,
Speaker 2: electro funk. I mean, we had breakdancers, we had pop
Speaker 2: lockers and shit. So I'll put it in that perspective.
Speaker 2: Crew Cut gave us a platform to be able to
Speaker 2: put out records because nobody else did that. We I
Speaker 2: was influenced by gangster shit. I don't know why. I mean,
Speaker 2: I grew up in Compton. I was fucking gang banging
Speaker 2: at thirteen, fourteen years old.
Speaker 3: At even at our Lady of Victory was gang banging.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I know about that too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Even when I went to our Lady of Victory, I
Speaker 2: was gang banging. I was claiming trag New Park. So
Speaker 2: you know, I was just influenced by street shit. And
Speaker 2: you know, and I had a mama who worked every
Speaker 2: day hard, had a father who worked at General Motors
Speaker 2: down in Southgate. But I don't know. It was just
Speaker 2: the niggas down the street with the with the hood
Speaker 2: rats and the motherfucking slanging dope. And you know, I
Speaker 2: think when I was coming to Yo Crib, my cousin
Speaker 2: gave me my first deuceduce. So we used to come
Speaker 2: over there strapped up and forty ounce and smoking weed
Speaker 2: and shit like that.
Speaker 3: And I was but they never disrespected me.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, we never disrespected.
Speaker 3: Whatever side you rolling with. That's cool.
Speaker 2: We never brought no, I mean, because like it was
Speaker 2: a gang of niggas from different sides. But yeah, we
Speaker 2: got along with everybody up there when we would be there.
Speaker 2: We never had no confrontations or nothing. Now, some niggas
Speaker 2: did follow me over there one day, but when I
Speaker 2: pulled up at your spot and they knew it was
Speaker 2: your spot, they was like all right, nigga, But yeah,
Speaker 2: it could have been vicious because I mean we was
Speaker 2: gang bang.
Speaker 3: And that's why I've always stayed neutral to the ship.
Speaker 3: I know niggas where I live at. Yeah, one side
Speaker 3: is blood, one side is cript. Yeah, I just have
Speaker 3: to live in the middle. Okay, both of them know
Speaker 3: me all up, know me? Okay.
Speaker 2: I used to come up one hundred and twenty. If
Speaker 2: and you come up one hundred and twenty, if it'd
Speaker 2: be some niggas see you, nigga, they follow you right
Speaker 2: over there. What you doing over here, nigga? And they
Speaker 2: see where you at, they like, oh, all right then
Speaker 2: and pull off.
Speaker 1: Then I want to go back to this Jerry Hiller
Speaker 1: ship real quick, because he was with you first. Right,
Speaker 1: So he never came back and said, you know what, Lonzo,
Speaker 1: you hooked me up.
Speaker 2: With this or that. I'm no, he never said he
Speaker 2: never did nothing like that.
Speaker 3: Man. In fact, when I never get I never get it.
Speaker 3: I never got mad at Jerry. I never I didn't
Speaker 3: trimp on him because easy always find something for me
Speaker 3: to do. From time to time. I was like the
Speaker 3: layersione for Roofless Records comp The Lason When there was
Speaker 3: a problem. I'd always easy drek. Jerry would call me
Speaker 3: up here, man, we got some problem, he goes, he
Speaker 3: goes Somebodey, go take take care of this for us
Speaker 3: right quick. You know I ain't mad about that. You know,
Speaker 3: at that time, I was cool, man, I was just cool,
Speaker 3: not being caught up in the bullshit. I don't do
Speaker 3: bullshit very well, okay, like you like eight, I'm a
Speaker 3: goddamn Gemini. Don't let these smiles and jokes get it
Speaker 3: get you fucked up. Okay, So I didn't want to
Speaker 3: put myself in that position.
Speaker 2: The one time I.
Speaker 3: Met with Should, I had read the problem with Sugar.
Speaker 3: I had an interaction with Sugar. It was like, dude,
Speaker 3: I ain't that one. I'm cool, but I ain't that one.
Speaker 3: And we shook hands, walked away from it, left it alone.
Speaker 3: Is Jerry Hiller was one of them casts man that
Speaker 3: he had a lot of connections. It was a more
Speaker 3: advantageous to be on his good side than his bad side.
Speaker 3: Either a vindictive motherfucker. He could be very vindictive, okay,
Speaker 3: And if I needed something, I can call him up.
Speaker 3: He can give me a referral connection. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: When I had turned off lights even though he wasn't
Speaker 3: my manager. Oh yeah, he wasn't my manager. We went
Speaker 3: around and just shopped the deal, okay. Or when it
Speaker 3: came to easing them, I didn't think that was gonna fly, Doc,
Speaker 3: because Jerry hit me up a few days after that
Speaker 3: situation went down and he asked me, says, Lonzo, how
Speaker 3: does a Jewish man from the valley within a group
Speaker 3: from Compton called Nigga's attitudes? And I told him very carefully,
Speaker 3: and I didn't think the relationship was gonna work. I
Speaker 3: swear to god, I didn't. Because Jerry was used to
Speaker 3: dealing with me Egypt and Rudy and some other folks.
Speaker 3: Easy was a totally different situation. Easy carried his money
Speaker 3: in his sock. Easy would have a fucking look like
Speaker 3: he had an anchor bracelet on sometime. He ever swearched
Speaker 3: money in his fucking sock, paid in cash, everything. And
Speaker 3: once Jerry realized that he had something that was workable,
Speaker 3: I felt that he may have taken advantage of them.
Speaker 3: Because understand this, Jerry always and this time I learned
Speaker 3: from him. I never got sued. I never got sued.
Speaker 3: If I'm ana crook, well, why nobody ever sued me,
Speaker 3: simply because once you signed the contract, nigga, you're great
Speaker 3: to that shit. That's the fucking deal. You can't go
Speaker 3: to the judge crying now because you didn't need the
Speaker 3: goddamn contract. So when I talked to Yeller about the situation,
Speaker 3: he's probably the main what I say in contact with
Speaker 3: you know, they got he got some money, but nobody
Speaker 3: got what they deserved. Even Drake didn't get what he
Speaker 3: was deserved. Because when they first formed nw A, it
Speaker 3: was supposed to be a partnership. Okay, it was formed
Speaker 3: in my living room. They got the name and where
Speaker 3: they came up with the name and concept at at
Speaker 3: Arabian princiss Pad. But they started talking about the deal
Speaker 3: that my house because I kind of had a little
Speaker 3: input and they were easy. Wanted to start a record label.
Speaker 3: He wasn't gonna be on the label. He wasn't gonna
Speaker 3: be an artist. He wanted to put the money behind
Speaker 3: the project. These people forget about this kind of shit
Speaker 3: he was gonna put just like you saw in the
Speaker 3: movie him just wanted to be a label owner. HBO
Speaker 3: the gout Homeboys only coming to the path. They happened
Speaker 3: in my house for real, And so them niggas really
Speaker 3: told Ray that shit was girl. They didn't. They didn't
Speaker 3: like this shit. They was from New York, they don't.
Speaker 3: The cars didn't hop in New York back then. So
Speaker 3: people forget all this shit. Man, it was a different time.
Speaker 3: This ship is not. You can't compare today to nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty five eighty six. It was two different worlds. They still,
Speaker 3: you know, even n w A, like I said before,
Speaker 3: they still had to do records like Something to Dance
Speaker 3: To in Panics on which which were produced by Arabian
Speaker 3: Prince that if you put some breathing on the ship,
Speaker 3: it could have been a record crew song just to
Speaker 3: get on the radio. Because they hadn't. They hadn't.
Speaker 2: It hadn't been in steven A Yeah, transitioned over.
Speaker 3: Yet, had transition yet good looking, He had hadn't transition
Speaker 3: yet to the gates and ship yet. When Easy wanted
Speaker 3: me to get help him, and Easy wanted me to
Speaker 3: get him to get him to Greg macause Greg back
Speaker 3: was my guy, Greg me, Greg Mac and Roger Me
Speaker 3: and Greg Mac had had a business arrangement. Roger was
Speaker 3: our competition. Fuck Roger and Uncle Jam's Army because they
Speaker 3: they was dissing everybody. That was our attitude. Greg was
Speaker 3: bringing me actions, Dudos, ll cool J New Edition, all
Speaker 3: kind of mo every weekend. We asked somebody different at Dudos.
Speaker 3: Because Greg was hooking the shit up. We was making money.
Speaker 3: He was paying our records on the radio, the whole
Speaker 3: nine yards. We had a hell of a thing going
Speaker 3: on if he played. He had them on Duodos on
Speaker 3: Friday and uh fucking Sherman Sherman Square on Saturday. We
Speaker 3: was killing that ship and an easy one to get
Speaker 3: in the mix. But he was cussing on the record,
Speaker 3: So that's when you started getting all the reverses and
Speaker 3: the beeps and ship. That was the first time it happened.
Speaker 1: Records was a big deal back then. Yes, definitely, Yes,
Speaker 1: that was a big deal back then. I even heard
Speaker 1: motherfucker saying you can go to jail for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a dude. Look, the scene is straight
Speaker 3: out of Compton when I get on Dre's ass. The
Speaker 3: real story behind that was because at Dudos, I'd hire
Speaker 3: off through the cops to.
Speaker 2: Be my security.
Speaker 3: Doodos is right next door to Pyrout like that parking
Speaker 3: lot across the goddamn driveway, doodles. Is that the pyrout,
Speaker 3: the mecca of all bloods, is right there next to
Speaker 3: the right next door to that. So in order for
Speaker 3: me to make that happen, I had to have some security.
Speaker 3: That was the old man's deal. You gotta have security.
Speaker 3: I recommend off through the cops. But guess what I
Speaker 3: got a first cousin. My mama's sister's brother, My mama
Speaker 3: and sister's son is on the Compton PD. He ran
Speaker 3: the swap. He ran the security for the swap meet.
Speaker 3: Reggie Wright Senior was one of his boys. The game detailed, dude.
Speaker 3: So I had him, Huey Taylor, all of them doing
Speaker 3: due security for me. At dudos, I'm giving him one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five dollars there you had, Reggie, right,
Speaker 3: Reggie Wright sor you know what. Reggie Wright Senior was
Speaker 3: an important piece of comptent.
Speaker 2: Yeah right.
Speaker 1: He was one of the first people that really exercised
Speaker 1: the community police in the work. He wasn't just throwing
Speaker 1: motherfuckers in jail, right. He would talk to motherfuckers. He
Speaker 1: would take your pistol from you. Now whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: if you asked some shit, but he wasn't just so
Speaker 1: quick to throw a motherfucking jail.
Speaker 3: So when casts came to Dudos and saw Reggie, oh shit,
Speaker 3: this motherfucker know me. Everybody in line. So we had
Speaker 3: something that dodos. Me and Greg had something that you
Speaker 3: couldn't fade. You couldn't fade if you wanted to. And
Speaker 3: the shit just blew up. And this is how shit
Speaker 3: started developing. But Jerry Heller didn't understand the the all
Speaker 3: the different parts that was making this shit happen. So
Speaker 3: because I had Greg back, me and me and him
Speaker 3: was still tight to this day. I got Dudos and
Speaker 3: I got my coola. We gotta try effected. We're making
Speaker 3: our own records, we gotta get airplay on the radio,
Speaker 3: and we got a place to uh to perform at.
Speaker 3: So everybody's coming to the niggas is taking their chances
Speaker 3: come to Dodo to perform. So that was my that
Speaker 3: was my forte and more over everything which providing platform
Speaker 3: because if I started doing too much management, I can't
Speaker 3: do it. I got to stop and do some other ship.
Speaker 1: Now you knowing so much about the music industry, man,
Speaker 1: this changed drastically today with the whole streaming and every
Speaker 1: act like that. I saw that snoop recently. It took
Speaker 1: all the death Row stuff. When he acquired the death
Speaker 1: Robe alog or whatever, he took it off the streaming
Speaker 1: platform to all the streaming platforms, and he put it
Speaker 1: back up.
Speaker 3: I guess he said to Fine, you know why he
Speaker 3: did that. When you, as ship gets on the streeping platforms,
Speaker 3: depending on what platform that gets goes onto, you get
Speaker 3: an r S S number, r S S feed number. Okay,
Speaker 3: those numbers, if they don't coincide, your money can get
Speaker 3: get scattered exactly.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So in fact, I'm going through the same ship right now.
Speaker 3: My records have been on so many compilations. I'm on MLC,
Speaker 3: I'm on Sound Exchange. You got your b and my ship,
Speaker 3: and if you don't have the same numbers, you won't
Speaker 3: get credit for the ship. So I had to hire
Speaker 3: a publishing manager for the first time to go in,
Speaker 3: go to find all my ship, not just record crew,
Speaker 3: because I got a catalog. I got two hundred songs.
Speaker 3: With my catalog of other ship, find all my songs,
Speaker 3: make sure make sure they all have the same uh
Speaker 3: correct uh rn C coats, and not only for America,
Speaker 3: but overseas Canada, England, Japan, all that ship. So that's
Speaker 3: the fun job. So I would think Snooper do the
Speaker 3: same thing. I'm gonna take all my ship off the
Speaker 3: air right now, get all this ship straight and put
Speaker 3: it back now it's gonna be corrected. A lot of
Speaker 3: money gonna go to the right people. Oh so he
Speaker 3: probably had checks going all all kinds of fact. The
Speaker 3: potet's not baby the poet, or you might not get
Speaker 3: your money at all. And that was something that was
Speaker 3: a problem for me because I had so many songs,
Speaker 3: and I think something, it is.
Speaker 2: Me, not ship. I got this. You got so many
Speaker 2: songs and ship, and they got so many different codes
Speaker 2: from the old motherfuckers who register.
Speaker 3: I got you on Thump Records, which is universal, and
Speaker 3: then they thought they all coldesh or youre fucking with Thump.
Speaker 1: I did well, Bill, I didn't want to say his name.
Speaker 1: That motherfucker over there, one of the jankies. Motherfuckers.
Speaker 3: When you do compilations, if mother I got any kind
Speaker 3: of junk on them, your should have end up with
Speaker 3: a new code so he can get paid.
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying, so like they did with the
Speaker 1: physical ship back then they'll put a different borough code.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: A motherfucker tell you all, man, you did you shipped
Speaker 1: out five thousand units? And really he don't shipped out
Speaker 1: thirty of them motherfuckers because he don't send ten over
Speaker 1: the year up, he don't send another ten in Japan
Speaker 1: because I had a thing, man, me and big A
Speaker 1: had a sweet thing going on. I had a hook
Speaker 1: up in Japan, dog with tower records to where they
Speaker 1: were buying from me. Cood. I was sending them motherfuckers
Speaker 1: two thousand records. Dog, I get my money right then.
Speaker 1: And there Dog, we selling the motherfuckers eight dollars a piece. Dog,
Speaker 1: I was distripping and dashing them.
Speaker 3: Shit.
Speaker 1: Dog, we was doing that shit dog. And it's a
Speaker 1: funny thing. And dash my nigga, he'll tell you. I
Speaker 1: remember it was a holiday, right, and lay usually sending
Speaker 1: us our money. It was coming up on Christmas, right,
Speaker 1: It's like in December, December like eighteenth for some shit
Speaker 1: like that. She tells me, She says, you know our
Speaker 1: banks are closed over here. I'll be able to get
Speaker 1: you the money like two days after Christmas or some
Speaker 1: shit like that. Right, So you know, niggas used to
Speaker 1: get their money, cood. So I put dashing them on
Speaker 1: the motherfucking email right, you know, so they could see
Speaker 1: it wasn't no ship, me telling y'all you niggas be right.
Speaker 1: So they just go back on the motherfucking say bit.
Speaker 1: Just shoot the motherfucker. I say, oh my god, oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 3: All that relationship cultivated over the years is just gone. Now.
Speaker 1: She says, no problem, I will send you the money myself.
Speaker 1: She send me the money. Dog, I sent her some
Speaker 1: ship a few weeks later, like a one sheet. Didn't
Speaker 1: get no response. Dog, that was just that quick. It
Speaker 1: was due quick.
Speaker 3: People don't understand. You can't take that book, take the street,
Speaker 3: ship to the to the to them folks.
Speaker 2: They work.
Speaker 3: Let's get the ship out of the man. They'll fuck
Speaker 3: with you, but that's gonna be cut your ass off.
Speaker 2: Like immediately, like I'm done fucking with you.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, man, that's one thing about the recommendness I missed,
Speaker 3: dude right now. I mean when we do certain projects, Man,
Speaker 3: if you had a good an, it wasn't your project.
Speaker 3: If you know what what the spots was, the co
Speaker 3: D spots, you can take a hundred seat until I'm
Speaker 3: sorry a couple thousand CDs down to a spot pick
Speaker 3: up fifteen twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Bro, I had it for a minute, man cash before
Speaker 1: dramming them got cracked. I don't want to say too
Speaker 1: motherfucker much, but but before dramming them got cracked, Dog,
Speaker 1: I was probably doing about Man, we was probably doing
Speaker 1: about anywhere from sixty to a buck twenty a month.
Speaker 1: My nigga, that's how I like, really, Dog, That's how
Speaker 1: I made my bag. That's how I bought my first house. Dog,
Speaker 1: That's how I did a lot of shit. Dog put
Speaker 1: a son through college with that money. My oldest son
Speaker 1: ate college off that money.
Speaker 3: Dog.
Speaker 1: Because I had a distribution set up around the world.
Speaker 1: I had a company in England called Altered Ego and
Speaker 1: started an urban division, so all the shit out of
Speaker 1: the United States from the West Coast, I was distributing
Speaker 1: out there outside of my own shit, right, I had
Speaker 1: so much stuff going. And the one mistake I made,
Speaker 1: Dog was putting it. If I wouldn't have put them
Speaker 1: on that email, cause there's a whole different nigga. Now
Speaker 1: that is way different now. You know, back then, there's
Speaker 1: a cut of motherfucker. You know, what I'm saying, Bis
Speaker 1: where the money at? Give me that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But it got fucked off that quick. If
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put him on that, I'd probably still be
Speaker 1: eating with them, motherfucker.
Speaker 3: I had deals with Blue Dolphin and a few other people, man,
Speaker 3: and the same kind of thing. Dude. You just if
Speaker 3: you had a relationship and you dropped some ship, they
Speaker 3: gonna they're gonna order a thousand just to test it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it was.
Speaker 1: I think my smallest order would be from over there
Speaker 1: would probably be anywhere from five hundred to a thousand,
Speaker 1: because that was just them trying some shit out and
Speaker 1: it wasn't no coming back. That's what I love about it,
Speaker 1: all that shit about returns and shit, because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you that, motherfucker. You know your boy from City Hall, right,
Speaker 1: he was good for that. Walk probably still holding on

Speaker 1: day he said, yore, damn.
Speaker 2: It wound up on death Row, the stories of death Row,
Speaker 2: and you know, like you said, you would have to
Speaker 2: have Slipping Unknown tell you about those death Row days. Uh.
Speaker 2: I know that we all sat up at one time
Speaker 2: and a known told us that he was fucking with
Speaker 2: sugaring them and that they was finished started label and
Speaker 2: that they was looking for a name for it. I
Speaker 2: think we came up with death Row sitting up at
Speaker 2: Hamburger Hamlet one night. And I don't know how they
Speaker 2: ended up with it, because we it was a total different.
Speaker 2: It was d E f Row. Remember they had the
Speaker 2: black coats and the good Fellow coats and all of that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so like jam like death Jam. That's where we got
Speaker 2: it from.
Speaker 3: And I thought I heard that was a good ass name. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then Sug. According to Yes, Sugar bought it from
Speaker 3: him and Jackson's death Row. They bought it so they
Speaker 3: wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2: So Unknown sold some shit that he didn't even think of. Well,
Speaker 2: we all thought of it. We were all at the
Speaker 2: table when we came because Unknown said that they were
Speaker 2: he had hooked up with Dre and Shug and they
Speaker 2: was finished try to you know, they were starting the
Speaker 2: label and they were looking for it. So Unknone was like,
Speaker 2: you know, let's think of some names, because we as
Speaker 2: compt as most wanted. As the time, I don't know
Speaker 2: if we had our deal. You know, probably was getting
Speaker 2: ready to play out with Orpheus or whatever.
Speaker 3: The studio with that black guy.
Speaker 2: Something alone came back with the black guy. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: was because he had took I think he had took
Speaker 2: money from Shug to start working on tracks, and you know,
Speaker 2: most of the time Slipped did a lot of the tracks. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so he took money from Sug to work on tracks
Speaker 2: for I think the Convicts were supposed to be the
Speaker 2: first group, but then we were in the middle of
Speaker 2: working on music to drive by, So that was his
Speaker 2: excuse for when he had to go up to Death
Speaker 2: Row and shug like Nigga with my beats. Oh well,
Speaker 2: I'm working on Conca's most wanted record right now. So yeah,
Speaker 2: but you took my money and that's how he got
Speaker 2: the black eye. That's that's apparently what I heard.
Speaker 3: It was Wrecking Crew. People always associated us together. I
Speaker 3: thought I forgot what it was. What his attorney's name,
Speaker 3: he's attorney for uh for did Griffy? He says, the
Speaker 3: record shug beat the record crew. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: no no no no, that was unknown. Yes, this is
Speaker 3: why I didn't fuck with that ship, because I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't respond well to that kind of shit. I've
Speaker 3: been there before. I know the simple ship can turn
Speaker 3: into a life or death situation. Definitely, that's serious for me. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's why Nigga tap out, not because I'm a punk.
Speaker 3: I don't need the headache.
Speaker 2: All money ain't good money like that. You know, you
Speaker 2: gotta learn how to you know, I'm already making some
Speaker 2: decent money over here. You know. He he was making
Speaker 2: decent money with you know, the conscience most wanted deal.
Speaker 2: But you know, sometimes man, that it started looking a
Speaker 2: little better, you know what I'm saying. So he went
Speaker 2: over there. You know, he took money from from Sugar
Speaker 2: to do beats. And then most of the time, like
Speaker 2: I said, Slip was doing a lot of the production.
Speaker 2: So Slip had his hands full producing Comptor's Most Wanted
Speaker 2: music to Drive by Anne produced, but you know he
Speaker 2: was more the you know, hey, Slip, I'm gonna go

Speaker 2: Anne was at the crib, you know, and chilling with
Speaker 2: the dog and Cindy and hey, you know it when
Speaker 2: Sug probably caught him up there, like, man, where my
Speaker 2: beats at? And then Nigga told me the story. They

Speaker 2: We made.
Speaker 3: Our first song was called Slice okay, and you know,
Speaker 3: you know, I remember you remember Surgery was the first one.
Speaker 3: Slice sized just like like a run DMC record, But
Speaker 3: it wasn't. It wasn't West Coast. It was East Coast
Speaker 3: Vive and this shit might have went illuminum okay, But
Speaker 3: that was our introduction to the record business. And then
Speaker 3: by that time Dre was on the crew and we
Speaker 3: made uh, we went on made surgery shit, Drake, Drake
Speaker 3: coming to fod crazy part. Me and Dre grew up
Speaker 3: on the same street, three little four houses down for me.
Speaker 3: But he's eight years younger than me, his dad and
Speaker 3: my older sister with all partners, So I knew all
Speaker 3: his uncles and shit. I used to, you know, hang

Speaker 3: you know you know my people do blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Deborah and Floyd and Lloyd than my uncles. Oh okay,
Speaker 3: cool man, tell you what change your clothes? Come back
Speaker 3: you good to go. Because technically the Eve I had
Speaker 3: it eighteen and over. Drey was too young, but because
Speaker 3: I knew his people, I could give him a pass.
Speaker 3: I could do that. It was eighteen because I made
Speaker 3: it eighteen. I didn't want the motherfucker to be Rumper Room.
Speaker 3: I'd rather be more like Soul trained than Rumper Room.
Speaker 3: Too many young kids, you know, she'd get to running
Speaker 3: around and want to play tagging shit.
Speaker 2: Fuck that.
Speaker 3: So I made it eighteen and over to keep it,
Speaker 3: you know, keep it on the on the grown shitphisticated, sophisticated,
Speaker 3: thank you. And when he came back, I let him up,
Speaker 3: but Easy still was dressed street Nah, you can't come in,
Speaker 3: and he got to talk and shit, so I nigga
Speaker 3: get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
Speaker 2: Easy was talking shit.
Speaker 3: You're talking. Oh, I can't this Eve up the dark.
Speaker 3: I gotta done. Yes, you do, motherfucker. If you want
Speaker 3: come in my spot, you do. And people think me
Speaker 3: and Easy hated. No, we didn't hate each other. We
Speaker 3: both too shit talking motherfuckers. So he talked shit. I
Speaker 3: talked ship back to him. Even after he got paid,
Speaker 3: we still talked shit to each other. Little motherfucker, give
Speaker 3: me my goddamn money. Oh, Jerry curR, nigga, you got
Speaker 3: a Jerry Cole to your ship, nigga like mine. So
Speaker 3: this is kind of this is the kind of relationship
Speaker 3: being easy. Easy came to my house after he was rich,
Speaker 3: after he was paid. The nigga still came by the path.
Speaker 3: Nobody else did that. Nobody else come by the hung
Speaker 3: out the path because Yeller was doing them pornos in
Speaker 3: the studio. Easy would come by and hang the fuck out.
Speaker 2: So, so Yeller was doing the pornos over your career.
Speaker 3: He started doing this porn. He started his port career
Speaker 3: at my house in the studio.
Speaker 1: That nigga Yellow. I saw porn on that nigga had.

Speaker 3: Cub talk about me more than anybody cbe. He understands
Speaker 3: I just some shit.

Speaker 3: You got to understand. I'm sixty five. I'm twelve years
Speaker 3: older than Cube. When I opened the Eve, I'm twenty two.
Speaker 3: Cube is fucking ten twelve, he's twelve, Okay, Why would
Speaker 3: the twelve year old motherfucker be hanging out with a
Speaker 3: twenty year old motherfucker. Drake couldn't even come to the
Speaker 3: club initially till a couple of years later, and don't
Speaker 3: even when he got in then because I knew his people,
Speaker 3: see what I'm saying. So it's they weren't around in
Speaker 3: the early days of West Coast hip hop. When I'm
Speaker 3: doing these doing these gigs three four times a weekend.
Speaker 3: They didn't carry no twelve hundreds with me. They carried
Speaker 3: it eventually, they didn't have to carry it. They didn't
Speaker 3: have to worry about the ship I had to go through,
Speaker 3: you know, the crazy, the fucked up promotors and shit
Speaker 3: like that. But by the time they got to be
Speaker 3: I was specializing in school dancing for Compton Hyde Centennial verb.

Speaker 3: with you and Easy being as tight as y'all was,
Speaker 3: because y'all was friends.

Speaker 1: which he died. Man, did that kind of raise some real.
Speaker 3: Flag, red flag still flagging phill blowing in the wind
Speaker 3: right to this day. Because one thing I think about man,
Speaker 3: shout out the Easy Man.
Speaker 2: You know what all him?
Speaker 1: You know, he's one of the godfathers of his gangster shit.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, was the godfather of the
Speaker 1: gangster shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: When you think about that man, like with the amount
Speaker 1: of kids he got, ain't nobody came up sick. I
Speaker 1: ain't seen nothing one because Easy was out there. Easy
Speaker 1: was getting that little house he had a Northwalk. I've

Speaker 1: day and when I tell you, it was BRA's running
Speaker 1: out that motherfucker dog. It was cracking. Nobody came up sick,
Speaker 1: my nigga, and it's just the manner and they said it,
Speaker 1: and they said the man had just got a life
Speaker 1: insurance policy like two or three months earlier. I don't
Speaker 1: think the AIDS virus operate like that, my nigga. He
Speaker 1: didn't even get the half HIV. It's just like this niggas.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden he died of AIDS.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: I remember the first person I ever heard die from age.
Speaker 3: It was Rock Hutson back of the day. And for
Speaker 3: that man seven eight months, we give you a blow

Speaker 3: age on the fucking news every day and this record
Speaker 3: wrestling comfort of me just beverly hilled home as he
Speaker 3: suffered from the effective.

Speaker 3: Easy and Magic had had that ship at the same time.
Speaker 3: Magic ain't never turned into age Magic had HIV now
Speaker 3: he's undetectable, right, and they both had money at the
Speaker 3: same time. Very suspicious die, very suspicious man. Who would
Speaker 3: want Easy then? Yet though, dog, oh no, dude. You

Speaker 3: ask kid Froth, Easy was trying to do that acupuncture.
Speaker 3: He felt that somebody made it got to the acupuncture.
Speaker 1: You know, it was all kind of even if a
Speaker 1: motherfucker did hit him with the shit with the acupuncture,
Speaker 1: he's gonna go. He might very well still be alive.
Speaker 3: Should have been I mean, it should have had HIV first, that's.
Speaker 2: Right, you know what I'm saying. It's just just a stage.
Speaker 2: It just went too fucking dramatically quick for it. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know that's the part that always shook people up.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I tell you that, but I'm
Speaker 2: in the process of getting the street name after the Easy, right,
Speaker 2: now we've already got the paperwork done. In fact that
Speaker 2: I'm waiting on the email right now from the City

Speaker 2: Up on the game surprise that hasn't been done, you
Speaker 2: know what.
Speaker 3: They tried it before, man and for some reason they
Speaker 3: couldn't get it passed. But I think now because with
Speaker 3: the fifty anniversary of hip hop right and uh, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm pushing for it because I'm the president of the
Speaker 3: Compton Entertainment Chamber of Commerce. I'm working on the Walker Fame,
Speaker 3: my Hall of Fame with some other things in Compton,
Speaker 3: and that's one of the first things I'm doing. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's why I again, I'm just doing what the fuck
Speaker 3: I do right now, that's on my platform to get
Speaker 3: people recognized.
Speaker 1: When it comes to rappers, dog especially out of southern California.
Speaker 1: The city of Compton has produced more MC's. You got
Speaker 1: this man right here sitting next to us, right right,

Speaker 3: That this is ship. Don't let don't let nobody get
Speaker 3: you down. I'm doing what I'm doing now. I'm a
Speaker 3: grown ass arp carry motherfucker. I ain't did a gig
Speaker 3: and that in two years. I'm looking to do some
Speaker 3: more shit, just have some fun. But in the meantime,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get people recognized. Man, put them up
Speaker 3: on from history.
Speaker 1: Dude. Well, you know what, though, it definitely need to
Speaker 1: be a walker fame in Compton. Where you talking about
Speaker 1: putting that right there?
Speaker 3: My walker fame, I'm looking to put that by the
Speaker 3: transit center, right behind the high center, right by the
Speaker 3: train station, first trade station. It's a big old area
Speaker 3: out there. Ain't nothing in that, motherfucker. It's a building,
Speaker 3: a brand new building. Ain't nobody in the building. I'm
Speaker 3: working with the city, uh the Metro, and.
Speaker 2: Shit, why don't you think the city has never done
Speaker 2: that for none of us artists out of this city
Speaker 2: of Compton.
Speaker 3: You know what, dude, That's why I formed the Compton
Speaker 3: Entertainment Chamber of Commerce because the City of Compton got
Speaker 3: so much ship to do, like potholes, trees, that city
Speaker 3: council got shipped to do. Where you know, if they
Speaker 3: start building walker fans and ship without without having a
Speaker 3: third party doing that ship, what about these potholes, motherfucker?
Speaker 2: Because that's just how we get.
Speaker 3: Kind of like me who've been doing shit in Compton forever.
Speaker 3: Could go to a sponsor if I can get once
Speaker 3: I get permission, hey we're gonna put We're gonna put
Speaker 3: the Walker fame right here. I can go to a
Speaker 3: sponsor and say, hey, look, Nike, whoever I need, I
Speaker 3: need the sponsor for this walker fame for these folks
Speaker 3: out of Compton do it just like they do, uh,
Speaker 3: the Staples Center or or Crypto Center. It's the Compton
Speaker 3: Walker fans sponsored by the Crypto Center or whoever. That's
Speaker 3: the that's the plan. So but it takes a lot
Speaker 3: of fucking effort. I'm organish for two years. It's taking
Speaker 3: six months to get from the first yes to where
Speaker 3: we are right now, which is easy. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: get it done by his birthday.
Speaker 2: And you would think that people who knew the history
Speaker 2: of what artists and what entertainers have done for the city,
Speaker 2: that it would be like a unanimous thing like yeah,
Speaker 2: you would think yeah, but yeah, but like you said,
Speaker 2: you know, niggas in the city would be like, niggas, shit,
Speaker 2: we need potholes fixed. This ship y'all trying to Y're
Speaker 2: trying to beautify a Walk of fame. Nigga it's fucking
Speaker 2: knee deep potholes around here. Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: But still though, you want to see some good life
Speaker 1: in the city, man, because you got all the other shit,
Speaker 1: you got just more positive ship to come out of company.
Speaker 3: The niggas they got you real right, I mean when
Speaker 3: you got some of the biggest and baddest people veat
Speaker 3: us and meaning Drake, Kendrick, bim w All these folks
Speaker 3: come out of Compton, man, War as you mentioned, George
Speaker 3: Bush used to live at one time. Kevin Constant come
Speaker 3: out of Compton. You got you got all kind of
Speaker 3: cats where war would happen.
Speaker 2: Dog.
Speaker 1: I think Long Beach was laying claimed the War for
Speaker 1: a minute, because I think I saw something about that
Speaker 1: that they was from Loan Beach or something like that.
Speaker 3: War used to be the house band at Jefty's before
Speaker 3: they became War. They would called something else. I forgot
Speaker 3: the name of him, but they were the house band.
Speaker 3: I met Howard and Lonnie at Jeoffty's before Jeffy died
Speaker 3: years ago and talked about I used to play. They
Speaker 3: used to play at Jefty's. All of them more than
Speaker 3: from Compton, but enough of them were from Compton High
Speaker 3: School to justify. Men from Compton High School came up.
Speaker 3: They asked some of me k from Long Beach. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense to neighboring cities and laying the
Speaker 1: band together exactly everybody people coming up. Have you had
Speaker 1: members that was from Inglewood?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike t was from Inglewood, Ship Slip was from
Speaker 2: fucking what Harthorne GUARDENA Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: You ain't see it was from Common So yeah, but
Speaker 3: you know, they always gonna claim Compton, Compton Man in
Speaker 3: the city of Compton has global recognition.
Speaker 2: Definitely.
Speaker 3: I was in a little group earlier this year for
Speaker 3: Harvard Man. Harvard University had be on this on this program,
Speaker 3: meaning people from Compton trying to figure out ways to
Speaker 3: make Compton better. And we were the only ones only
Speaker 3: all black, all not black, all minority group. Everybody else
Speaker 3: was white. Okay, we walking that motherfuck and they think
Speaker 3: we I guess it's not. We're gonna be sagging the shit.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but they were surprised that we could speak,
Speaker 3: you know, we could talk like we got some goddamn sense,
Speaker 3: and we did all their assignments and kicked ass. When
Speaker 3: all the smoke was cleared, why do.
Speaker 2: You think a section as you know, as we are
Speaker 2: as far as Compton, was able to produce so much
Speaker 2: motherfucking talent in such a small.
Speaker 3: Section Compton at first at one time, man was.
Speaker 2: Cause like you said, you know, we've had everything from
Speaker 2: fucking artists to fucking Venus and Serena to like, we've
Speaker 2: had a lot of ship come out of Compton.
Speaker 3: Compton is a I think because of such a small city,
Speaker 3: you get like anything you got, you got their pressure
Speaker 3: to succeed what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying, because I had to get I was like, God, damn,
Speaker 2: I gotta get about this motherfucker. Man.
Speaker 1: I think everybody that comes from them in poverished areas, man,
Speaker 1: it's always motivated to get on because I know that
Speaker 1: was my main goal when I was a kid in
Speaker 1: Cleveland was to get the fuck about that motherfucker by
Speaker 1: any means necessary.
Speaker 3: Something with the first city was one of it was
Speaker 3: it was white for years, then it became black. It
Speaker 3: was like one of the first black cities with the
Speaker 3: black mayor and ship like that. So you got a
Speaker 3: lot of people that migrated to Compton, like my dad
Speaker 3: why I usually live on a woman to other kid,
Speaker 3: then we moved out just outside of Compton. But everything
Speaker 3: I did was in Compton, schools, everything.
Speaker 2: So it just it was.
Speaker 3: It was LA was so big and white for decades,
Speaker 3: then what was white for decades. Paramount was wife for decades.
Speaker 3: Marshingt didn't exist yet. Carston didn't come out to the sixties.
Speaker 2: Damn mightn't known that Christing.
Speaker 3: Ain't that old. Carston might be think they fifty fifth
Speaker 3: at first?
Speaker 2: Growing up? Yeah, growing up in Compton, you didn't venture nowhere.
Speaker 2: You know, we stayed in fucking Compton. We didn't go
Speaker 2: to LA. We didn't go to Long Beach, we didn't
Speaker 2: go to Paramount, none of that shit. We just stayed
Speaker 2: in com to go to Paramount. Hell Nah, now what everywhere?
Speaker 3: Can my daddy cut lines? He cut loud in Paramount, Downey,
Speaker 3: Long Beach, Torrents Palace, Vergis Guardiena. So I've always been
Speaker 3: exposed to different shit close to me, and it just
Speaker 3: gave me a different perspective.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that man, but company definitely, even
Speaker 1: Sugar Man. Even though people focus a lot of times

Speaker 1: don't know if you'll kids and they don't know, and
Speaker 1: they could put some plastic guards in your head.
Speaker 2: All your eyes are closed.
Speaker 3: So all I'm saying is as brothers out of these
Speaker 3: streets doing making it just the civil war we got
Speaker 3: going on. Think about man, this just think about that ship.
Speaker 3: That's all dude, My my, my, My nonprofit is called
Speaker 3: hood Piece.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to put some peace and Compton.
Speaker 2: Dot Yeah we needed man, We've been trying for years. Man.
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, it's just it's just unfortunate.
Speaker 3: Do you realize how many people, i mean, youngsters grew
Speaker 3: up ain't never seen peace in the hood. I've seen
Speaker 3: peace of the hood before.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I'm on enough to be able to walk. Remember, I
Speaker 3: could walk through Compton and not get Jack Man. Walk
Speaker 3: from Saint Alberts. The Captain of the Park used to
Speaker 3: be a dairy right there in the corner. Go to
Speaker 3: Captain of the park, hang the fuck out for a minute,
Speaker 3: and walk my ass down Chilly Buck left on a
Speaker 3: D thirty fifth, take my ass, hop the fist of
Speaker 3: badguard and go home.
Speaker 2: I could probably do that up until I was probably
Speaker 2: about nine years old in Compton. After that, you ten, eleven, twelve,
Speaker 2: you started getting sweated at the bus stops going to school.
Speaker 2: You know, niggas started jacking you for your starter jackets
Speaker 2: and all that type of shit. So, I mean, there
Speaker 2: was a time when I grew up as a kid
Speaker 2: in Compton to where it probably was gangs like a motherfucker.
Speaker 2: But I didn't notice. You know, I rode my bike
Speaker 2: up and down the street, or play with my cousins
Speaker 2: on the weekend, or you know, I didn't notice. I
Speaker 2: never noticed, like damn they gang banging over here. Nigga's
Speaker 2: over here wearing blue, and then nigga's over there waring.
Speaker 2: I didn't notice that until I got probably about ten
Speaker 2: and eleven twelve and going to school one day and
Speaker 2: niggas pulled up on us at the bus stop and like, Nigga,
Speaker 2: where y'all from? And I'm looking like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: What do you mean? Where we from? And nigga, you
Speaker 2: know where you at? And while you got that blue
Speaker 2: jacket on, and won't you walk? And I'm like, oh, okay,

Speaker 2: out here. Huh. But check this out there.
Speaker 3: I fuck with Compton College a lot, right if cats,
Speaker 3: if somebody wants to get get the shit together and
Speaker 3: get educated. Compton College got so many goddamn programs, free books,
Speaker 3: free food, free transportation, all kind of shit. They do
Speaker 3: everything but wake your ass up and rush your motherfucking teeth.
Speaker 1: Okay, thing, man, there's a lot of ways out here,
Speaker 1: man for brothers to better They circles exactly.
Speaker 3: But but here here's the problem. So many cats either
Speaker 3: if they ain't got no car, fraid to get on
Speaker 3: the bus stop? Can they gotta go through any hood
Speaker 3: to be different hoods? Your education is being stifled by
Speaker 3: us not being able to get a loan on each other.
Speaker 3: One of the nigga give a nigga pass to go
Speaker 3: to school.
Speaker 2: The least man. Yeah, it's gotta be a truly motherfucker
Speaker 2: who's really about being educated, Because shit, niggas look down.
Speaker 2: Niggas looked down at you for getting on the fucking bus.
Speaker 2: Get me, nigga, you're on the bus, or you broke ass.
Speaker 2: Motherfucker you riding the bus, motherfucker, you get me. Niggas
Speaker 2: look down on you for trying to create that effort.
Speaker 2: You get me, like you should be proud of a nigger.
Speaker 2: Nigga I'm getting on the bus every day trying to
Speaker 2: go to school, lit better myself. You got nigg as,
Speaker 2: soon as you get off the bus, you broke ass. Nigga,
Speaker 2: you ride the bus. Motherfucker. We was looking. We like
Speaker 2: I used to tell niggas here you go to New York,
Speaker 2: you getting the cab. That's the thing to do here.
Speaker 2: You're broke, casting a cab. You riding cabs around, nigga,
Speaker 2: All y'all, broke is a motherfucker. Nigga felt like some
Speaker 2: common you ain't broke all it the calve and ship cab.
Speaker 3: You gotta have the money these days.
Speaker 2: I mean back of the day, my mom called us
Speaker 2: a cab. You needs to be like calling us a
Speaker 2: cab for like, that's a symbol of being broke, like
Speaker 2: a motherfucker.
Speaker 3: No niggas is hopping in ubers and shito.
Speaker 2: Yeah the uber Hey, what.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you, man, I'm just had to drop
Speaker 3: that on some folks man.
Speaker 2: Just on the Strip's the it's the environment and like
Speaker 2: the people you around, and it's just what people expecting,
Speaker 2: what people think of a motherfucker. Instead of trying to
Speaker 2: congratulate a nigga for putting in that effort to change itself.
Speaker 2: You know, we come from an era where niggas look
Speaker 2: down on you for being a hood nigga for wanting
Speaker 2: the better itself. You feel me? Yeah, yeah, we we
Speaker 2: all come from that era.
Speaker 3: Like, as a OG the Triple OG, I would like
Speaker 3: to see motherfuckers be more proud of having more cash
Speaker 3: walking the stage than walking the yard.
Speaker 2: Definitely.
Speaker 3: You know, that's just a dream of mine as a
Speaker 3: Triple OG nine affiliated motherfucker, to have more niggas walking
Speaker 3: walking across the stage a Compton High Domingus College, or
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, than walking walking the yards
Speaker 3: of a penitentiary.
Speaker 1: Lins as a cat that come from out of town, Man,
Speaker 1: they kind of hitting California at this peak of gang banging.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say, at this peak, I came out
Speaker 1: to California eighty eight, where you from the Cleveland, Okay, Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 1: I came out here in nineteen eighty eight, had plenty
Speaker 1: of invitations, man, the joint gangs. Man, my homeboy Find
Speaker 1: was trying to jump me in every other day, you know.
Speaker 1: But the one thing I noticed, man, I said, Man,
Speaker 1: that shit seemed like a no win situation, I'm not
Speaker 1: fucking with that because I would notice when I would
Speaker 1: be wanting to go certain places, like, hey, man, let's
Speaker 1: go this mall.
Speaker 3: I heard, it's a mall. You know, I'm from out
Speaker 3: of town. I want to go there, or we can't
Speaker 3: go there?
Speaker 1: I said, damn, so y'all segregate y'allselfight, that said, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be involved. And plus I started meeting
Speaker 1: different cats from different neighborhoods and realized, what, man, if
Speaker 1: I fuck with them, I might not be able to
Speaker 1: fuck with the homie like I used to while I
Speaker 1: can't go over there. It was just seemed like it
Speaker 1: limited your opportunity too much.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Absolutely correct, Doc, it does limit your opportunities.
Speaker 1: And the one thing I couldn't understand is, like I said, Man, okay,
Speaker 1: y'all supposed to be from the same place, but it
Speaker 1: seemed like this nigga more scannless. The nigga that is
Speaker 1: from your neighborhood is more scanless than the nigga this
Speaker 1: just enemies, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So it was just a no wining situation. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: we didn't see it like that doog, which was unfortunate.
Speaker 2: We thought it was everything well, our gang banging and
Speaker 2: dope slaling and claiming the hood was got the sack
Speaker 2: that shit. I couldn't even tell you, man, I couldn't
Speaker 2: even tell you.
Speaker 3: I got a question for you, who you think makes
Speaker 3: made the most money in the dope era?
Speaker 6: Shoot, according to all of the federal government, not the Nigga,
Speaker 6: not usos. Yeah, Koreans came into our community doing the
Speaker 6: dope aron and took over everything black. You can't buy
Speaker 6: a pair of tennis shoes, a bottle of Hennessy, a
Speaker 6: piece of chicken when I give them to somebody.
Speaker 1: Don't you know what I'm gonna tell you this though.
Speaker 1: I used to talk to the old, old black dude
Speaker 1: that owned the liquor store, Jay's Liquor O from Western Okay.
Speaker 1: He did, now, I believe, but he told me, he said, Man,
Speaker 1: at one time, all these liquors.
Speaker 2: Stores all up black on all of them.
Speaker 3: After the after the sixty five riots, all the Jewish
Speaker 3: community moved out of the hood. Black folks bought all
Speaker 3: the businesses, and when the crack came in, everybody ran
Speaker 3: out of here, and then the careers took over. I
Speaker 3: ain't mad at him, but I'm just faed. That's how
Speaker 3: that's how the economics change in the hood and uh,
Speaker 3: the swap meets came in the eighties. Also, you ain't
Speaker 3: see you ain't seen the brother of the swap me
Speaker 3: doing nothing but baby helping somebody. From time to time.
Speaker 3: You had one brother in the bottom of the swap
Speaker 3: meat to the bottom of the long beast, and the
Speaker 3: comps to swap meet at the bottom doing T shirts and.
Speaker 2: Uh and air brushing, air brushing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody else was black, and brothers would would sell dope,
Speaker 3: run from the police and kill each other all night
Speaker 3: and all day to go to the saft and spot
Speaker 3: beat to buy them jeans, some tennis shoes them, speakers
Speaker 3: and amps, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 5: And then links. Then as Cubans with the Turkish you
Speaker 5: had Turkeys had get you a fake Gucci.
Speaker 2: Nigga with the hood or the belt buckle nigger I
Speaker 2: put I put my hood on there with the little
Speaker 2: belt buckles with the letters nigga, and and with the
Speaker 2: Turkish ear ring nigga, with the rope nigga and the
Speaker 2: bracelet with the fake Gucci wallet Niggas. They're looking hard
Speaker 2: like a motherfuck looking hard like a mother and my
Speaker 2: motherfucking gap cord with my corduroyds Nigga, my T shirt
Speaker 2: with my fake ass Gucci belt af nigga looking hard nigga. Man,
Speaker 2: that's all I wanted. Man with some niggas was as
Speaker 2: crazy as a motherfucking link. Like you said, nigga gonna
Speaker 2: sell it dope all night, getting blasted on, running from
Speaker 2: five all and then goes like he said me to
Speaker 2: take his money right up to the swat and wagon.
Speaker 2: Give me some money.
Speaker 3: Nobody they had. They give me some not your dirty money.
Speaker 3: Just got cleaning things to them. But you can't benefit
Speaker 3: from it. You ain't mad at them. I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: they like give it here, nigg observation. Baby, that's all you.
Speaker 2: After you got about five hundred dollars worth of crack
Speaker 2: money right there, they like give it right here. They
Speaker 2: could take these take these goods. Speaking of the crack,
Speaker 2: did you watch did you with Snowfall in every episode?
Speaker 2: How accurate was that to you? Nah?
Speaker 3: You know it had his point, they had his times,
Speaker 3: but it was accurate. Like Homegirl being being turned out
Speaker 3: and cleaning up. I've seen that happened many a time
Speaker 3: she was out there blowing knocking off everything. Sad she
Speaker 3: get cleaned up. I remember a lot of the cats
Speaker 3: from the neighborhood would blow up and they started testing
Speaker 3: smoking their own ship and fall right the back down.
Speaker 3: I remember the fucking that that ship was based on
Speaker 3: Nickoson gardens and that always been on fire. Okay, that
Speaker 3: always been on fire one or two Rick Ross, I
Speaker 3: mean an actual Freeway Rick character. I know Freeway, and
Speaker 3: he was the most laid back guy, like Franklin to
Speaker 3: a certain degree. I didn't know him at that time
Speaker 3: when he was the balling out of control. I heard
Speaker 3: his name, but I think a few things they left out,
Speaker 3: like when he reason why they called him Freeway was
Speaker 3: because he had a big as apartment by the Freeway
Speaker 3: and right by the fucking one ten. He turned the
Speaker 3: whole apartment building into his goddamn spot. And he was
Speaker 3: a tennis player. He wasn't even a even even in
Speaker 3: his documentary, the fans say they saw the guy almost
Speaker 3: every day walking, asked with tennis rackets, didn't pay him
Speaker 3: no attention. He didn't look like a dope. Okay, the uh,
Speaker 3: the fans being involved in that ship, that ship is documented.
Speaker 3: The guy who told on the FEDS how he died
Speaker 3: shot himself committed suicide by shooting himself in the head
Speaker 3: two times. Documented.
Speaker 1: Okay the news reporter. Yeah, they said this motherfucker committed
Speaker 1: suicide and shot himself on the head twice.
Speaker 3: Twice. You shoot yourself on the head.
Speaker 2: That nigga did. What it is I missed did the work.
Speaker 1: Isn't Even if you happen to survive that first shot,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in such motherfucking this hong, You're gonna
Speaker 1: be up in that motherfucker like this.
Speaker 2: Big saying that nigga woke up. It was like, oh
Speaker 2: it did.
Speaker 3: Do it again. So I mean some ships, you know,
Speaker 3: when you when you know the real story, you remember
Speaker 3: living that ship the first time, you can see some
Speaker 3: of the similarities. But of course, in any any movie project,
Speaker 3: like just like Straight out of Competent, they always in
Speaker 3: they have they called it embellishment or they called it
Speaker 3: creative license. Right long as they don't long they don't
Speaker 3: change the story too much. If they I can, straight
Speaker 3: out of Competent, they made me gay or something like that.
Speaker 3: That wasn't gonna fly, But they can make me out
Speaker 3: to be an asshole because I can't be aphole.
Speaker 1: You would have made some money for sures. You could
Speaker 1: have sued the ship up there, because see one thing
Speaker 1: that people don't know about that that's why I tell
Speaker 1: people what these podcasts. Y'all would be careful if you
Speaker 1: can sue the ship out of the motherfucker. If a
Speaker 1: motherfucker going there?
Speaker 2: Line about you? Dog?
Speaker 1: Is this a couple of niggas montorny, don't hit me like, man,
