Speaker 1: I got into the music business. After watching Little Jay
Speaker 1: uh people not went to Houston University of Houston, played
Speaker 1: basketball over there, and I've seen Little Jay walking there
Speaker 1: from rap a Lot Jay Prince, I've seen him walking
Speaker 1: the club I was in with a main code on

Speaker 1: so j principal inspiration you Yeah, yeah, you know Uncle Luke,
Speaker 1: Uncle Luke from Yeah, I've seen that. Like them being
Speaker 1: from the South, everything was about the west in the
Speaker 1: East Coast. And I said, man, if my my hustle,
Speaker 1: I got the hustle for the South, and uh, nobody
Speaker 1: new about New Orleans at that time. And and I
Speaker 1: just went hard by me living in Richmond for a
Speaker 1: little while. I got a chance to see Oakland in
Speaker 1: San Francisco, seeing how they hustled in the Bay. Because man,
Speaker 1: my o G was St Charles he forded, so he
Speaker 1: showed me the game. And when he showed me the game,
Speaker 1: I took it back to the South and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: my home is in Richmond. Man, I love him. I
Speaker 1: respect them for opening doors and me they was. They
Speaker 1: was on a grind. Man. You had you had guys
Speaker 1: like JT. The bigger figure you had uh rbl Posse
Speaker 1: had this guy named herm Luke that really was out there,
Speaker 1: you know, with the E Fordis and the two shots.
Speaker 1: And I had a record store, you know, not nineteen
Speaker 1: years old with a record store yours. I always thought
Speaker 1: it was a family member here, but it's actually it
Speaker 1: was yours. You opened yourself. I was too young to
Speaker 1: have it. My my people don't know. My parents was
Speaker 1: still in New Orleans. But you had to be twenty
Speaker 1: one because you know, you sold the like the naked
Speaker 1: movies and stuff the record stores back then. So I
Speaker 1: opened the store. Always tell a guy to distribute. I said, man, look,
Speaker 1: I'm picking up the music from my daddy. So he
Speaker 1: always give it to me, you know. So I was
Speaker 1: I made it happen from there to where I did
Speaker 1: that on my own, you know, and it was a
Speaker 1: family then. It took a couple of people. You know.
Speaker 1: I had a good team. So how old are you
Speaker 1: when you opening? Nineteen nineteen when I opened the record store,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I had. I had everybody coming through there
Speaker 1: from Tupat too. I mean every artist from the Bay
Speaker 1: then came through that stoke. And that was in Richmond.
Speaker 1: That was in Richmond, Cally first I've seen it when
Speaker 1: I first came to Richmond. I've seen a stoke called
Speaker 1: Jones and Harris. But they sold they sold H, R
Speaker 1: and B in gospel, and I said, man, ain't got
Speaker 1: no hip hop in here. Nowhere I found. I found
Speaker 1: a little spot, open it up, you know, and went
Speaker 1: from out to where I like invest my money into it.
Speaker 1: That put I had ten grands from my from my
Speaker 1: grandfather settlement and just man invested back in the stokes,
Speaker 1: slept in the stove till I made some money. So
Speaker 1: people always think you gotta have a lot of money.
Speaker 1: You don't have to have a lot of money, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I had really nothing, Like I
Speaker 1: went in the deal what I need to do, a
Speaker 1: lot of visions. Like every I tell people it's a
Speaker 1: power of words, so you know, you speak negativity and
Speaker 1: negativity to come. I said, it's gonna be no limit
Speaker 1: to my success. I named myself master because I'm a
Speaker 1: master what I do? You know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: I will give back to my community about making it's
Speaker 1: funny because that's about next question I was actually my
Speaker 1: first question was did you ever receive like flag from
Speaker 1: calling yourself master? Like you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: you know, um, you know because I get what you
Speaker 1: probably when you was coming from like the masters of
Speaker 1: the the music, but you know the word master, like
Speaker 1: you know when we think of every end and the same.
Speaker 1: I mean when you had masters golf slave. What I'm saying, well,
Speaker 1: you know sometime in life, man, like I said, I
Speaker 1: just I was looking at it as just master. What
Speaker 1: I was gonna do, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: whatever I do, Like yeah, yeah, Like you got to
Speaker 1: be an expert at whatever you do to win. People
Speaker 1: don't understanding business. You know, you have to be an
Speaker 1: expert the ones who gonna win. Okay, so you're from Richmond, California,
Speaker 1: your brown brown but you said you're gonna start your
Speaker 1: label in New Orleans. You said you want to go back.

Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's when we just got quiet
Speaker 1: and said, man, it's going back to the project and
Speaker 1: do what we gotta do. And I just start selling
Speaker 1: CDs like the trunk of my car moving from city
Speaker 1: to city. You know, I went to New York to Chicago,
Speaker 1: to Texas, everywhere, you know, pushing CDs where those bloods

Speaker 1: So that's how hold. I was putting the posters on
Speaker 1: my own. Man, you know, I get this. I was
Speaker 1: in New York and Hallam and uh, I'm putting up
Speaker 1: a poster. The dude said, man, that's you. I say, no, man,
Speaker 1: we're all looking like so because I know if I
Speaker 1: paid somebody, they was gonna just s throw my posts away.
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't compete with like a big it was
Speaker 1: just too big. They was everywhere. So I'm like I
Speaker 1: had to go do this one and I shoot dice.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in I'm in Brooklyn shooting dice playing basketball.
Speaker 1: So I beat I beat him in basketball and make
Speaker 1: a couple of hours and I shoot bags and I'm
Speaker 1: back in my car and I sell C d s
Speaker 1: and head back home. So that's that's really how like
Speaker 1: New York really start taking told of me from the
Speaker 1: South because they really wasn't listening to Southern Hill. But
Speaker 1: we will always um and I'm from New York so
Speaker 1: I can say this. We will always run into recollabels.
Speaker 1: So it was amazing to see a person like, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and here that you have like
Speaker 1: a seventy thirty or twenty deal. My friend Dave Winer
Speaker 1: from party, he was that strange I had said he
Speaker 1: signed made it a strange And he was telling me
Speaker 1: about when he first came across you and he had
Speaker 1: to go back to the labe and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we can't just give this guy a normal deal. When
Speaker 1: I first seen Day one, man, I thought he was
Speaker 1: the police. He coming up, So I really, man, I
Speaker 1: could have been made you know, two years before he
Speaker 1: came back there in Holland that I call one of
Speaker 1: my falls. I said, who that is? Five? He was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I said, man, he kept coming
Speaker 1: looking for him. He'll tell you. So he come back
Speaker 1: up trying to give me a couple of a couple
Speaker 1: of years and I'm like, man, look, I finally say, man,
Speaker 1: you know you keep coming back and who was you? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm from Proud the Records. I said, Man, come on, man,
Speaker 1: what I knew? I was like, all right, And I
Speaker 1: told him, I said, people don't know. Sometimes you got
Speaker 1: to invest in yourself. So I went to Michael Jackson Atturn.
Speaker 1: So you gotta everybody wanted to be in the music business,
Speaker 1: but you need to know your business at that time,
Speaker 1: the business of the music. Yeah. So I went to
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson was the highest paid entertainment at that time
Speaker 1: at a record and I said, uh. I went to
Speaker 1: his attorney. He said, Man, if I'm gonna sitting on,
Speaker 1: which is gonna coach you? Twenty five thousand dollars. That's
Speaker 1: attorney told you. That's his retainer just to sit down.
Speaker 1: Sit down. I can't afford this. Still, Yeah, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: So I give him the twenty five I wouldn't sit
Speaker 1: down with me, say man, look, the only way you're
Speaker 1: gonna get a deal bigger than Michael Jackson is a
Speaker 1: distribution deal, and it's an eighty five fifteen deal. But
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to come up with about two
Speaker 1: hundred or three hundred thousand dollars. I say, no, we
Speaker 1: just say that what you need for marketing if you're
Speaker 1: gonna get that deal, I'm like, dude, that's get you
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand and tell me I need two hundred
Speaker 1: to three hundred thousand. But this was probably the best
Speaker 1: twenty five grand I spent in my life because after that,
Speaker 1: that's all I wanted. I wanted distribution. There every record
Speaker 1: company that came at me say they wanted distribution. Then
Speaker 1: then when when Proudy came, you know, they said, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay the marketing, you're gonna get you that deal.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened. I end up I end up
Speaker 1: making more money than the record company. Wow. So so
Speaker 1: from us in New York at the time, right we
Speaker 1: had heard the records, but we didn't we didn't get
Speaker 1: to see the visuals. But what took us over was
Speaker 1: the movie about about it was because we only heard
Speaker 1: how crazy the South fit like we didn't really know,
Speaker 1: like we didn't know no until we see I'm about
Speaker 1: it about it? What made you even think of that?
Speaker 1: What made you say, you know what, I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna film myself because you did this all on your own.
Speaker 1: Would that be considered the first like hip hop indeed movie? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe. So I believe this is before streets is watching. Definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean I just crushed groove and things like that,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't independent, and then it wasn't by the
Speaker 1: artist for like, you know, this thing was football early.
Speaker 1: So so how did you what? What was you sitting
Speaker 1: around watching the scar face and said I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this ship too. So I watched. I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of movies that I felt like, even now that we
Speaker 1: don't own nothing. So you know at the time, I
Speaker 1: mean in Dependent Filmmaker the year, Spike Lee was like, man,
Speaker 1: Pete don't make no real movies. He makes street movies.
Speaker 1: But that's all we knew, that's where we come from. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: but the thing about it is nobody from the streets
Speaker 1: of it took it to say, let's show the world
Speaker 1: how real it is in these streets instead of killing
Speaker 1: each other up. It's coming together. You know what my
Speaker 1: whole thing was. You know, I want to show my community,
Speaker 1: the hood where I come from. And then one day
Speaker 1: I want to be able to be the person. If
Speaker 1: I do our own movies and financing, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: the bigger cut from it. And one I want to
Speaker 1: be able to you know, be somebody and somebody to say,
Speaker 1: oh man, that dude brought the projects has something to
Speaker 1: do with helping the projects. If you know, when it
Speaker 1: came out, every street in New York's city was tuned
Speaker 1: the fun I'm sure Charlie came from the Army with
Speaker 1: that video tape and you go watch this listen. It
Speaker 1: was this. This is the art Kelly take was the
Speaker 1: most ship bootleg in the hood. Like yo, I definitely
Speaker 1: didn't have a real copy toil later on in life.
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. I had a bootleg. But that's
Speaker 1: how hill it was. People stealing my bootleg was It
Speaker 1: was the first time I've seen, well, we see other outcasts,
Speaker 1: other outcasts, do you know what I'm saying? Like like
Speaker 1: like like we did the South, like yeah, but people
Speaker 1: didn't really like like accept we didn't even know what
Speaker 1: was going on in the South New York wasn't really
Speaker 1: never except outcast right. Yeah. At me at the time,
Speaker 1: the ghetto boys was big, but they wasn't connecting in
Speaker 1: the East Coast, you know, they wasn't They wasn't connecting.
Speaker 1: Like I looked up to them guys to where they
Speaker 1: made great music, but it wasn't club music. So it
Speaker 1: was like more of the vibe, you know, mind playing
Speaker 1: tricks on me. You know what I'm saying. Space damn man,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people, That's what I tell
Speaker 1: people all the time. Man, we don't appreciate the ones
Speaker 1: that paid the weight, and we don't get because, like
Speaker 1: you say, they say, oh they're done, but then we
Speaker 1: don't know the real stuff people doing for the community.
Speaker 1: Like for me, it's a blessing to be able to
Speaker 1: come out those projects, man, and to be able to
Speaker 1: be a part of rebuilding the projects because people don't
Speaker 1: know this. Man. In two thousand nine, they was trying
Speaker 1: to get rid of the Callio projects after Hurricane Katrina.
Speaker 1: Me and a guy I'm talking about, an expert, a
Speaker 1: black guy to understand development of buildings. That's what we
Speaker 1: gotta grow with this a guy named Key Keys. He
Speaker 1: don't get the proper respect he needs to get. But
Speaker 1: this guy help me. We raised a hundred and eighteen
Speaker 1: million to rebuild the Callio projects. So to actually come
Speaker 1: from hip hop to be able to do that. You know,
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know if you know. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you know. I went to the Callio
Speaker 1: one time to look for you for some reason I had.
Speaker 1: I thought that you guys would just be hanging out, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was so hot at the top. I went there
Speaker 1: and people I knew I was gonna get killed. He
Speaker 1: just looked at me and he didn't say nothing. I said,
Speaker 1: let me get the funk about it. But yeah, yo,
Speaker 1: so that's crazy. You We rebuild it and now it's
Speaker 1: gonna be like luxury homes, y'all see it right now.
Speaker 1: He's done. So it took us a while, and so
Speaker 1: we had to do this, true Hub. I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people say, so you're keeping the whole like
Speaker 1: the residents in place. Yeah, it's done. It's we did it,
Speaker 1: true Hub. But uh, it was stages to raise the
Speaker 1: money to be able to do this. So this developer
Speaker 1: who I'm talking like from Pittsburgh this is a bad dude,
Speaker 1: you know men men and his friends to be able
Speaker 1: to come from the projects and grow because he did
Speaker 1: it in Pittsburg with his projects and he was like, Pete,
Speaker 1: we could do the same thing. In the callio, I said, man,
Speaker 1: we need to do this because they was trying to
Speaker 1: get rid of it. Like I tell people all the time, man,
Speaker 1: stop thinking about the small stuff. We gotta think about
Speaker 1: the big stuff that we do that we can do
Speaker 1: if we make it and be successful. Like, nobody never
Speaker 1: gave me nothing. Man Like even the drug dealers when
Speaker 1: they was there, they all, look, man, you know how
Speaker 1: to bag up, then I'll get you this. How you
Speaker 1: make your braid or whatever. People are not gonna give
Speaker 1: you nothing. For us to be able to do this
Speaker 1: at that level and to rebuild this, it's it's incredible,
Speaker 1: man Like. To be honest with you, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know if it ever been done with anybody in
Speaker 1: any hood to understand that part of the game, I'd
Speaker 1: be crazy, like, nah, let's go by Queen's bread man.
Speaker 1: Yes what you know what? But we all need to
Speaker 1: come back together because now we know how to do it.
Speaker 1: It's been then the psychologist you really brought back the hood.
Speaker 1: That's hard to get that. I'm sorry, that's hard. That
Speaker 1: is hard. That is really, man, Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: It felt so good to go back there and cut
Speaker 1: the ribbon to make this thing look so But you
Speaker 1: know what, to be honest with your man is we
Speaker 1: are uneducated, even though we come from the reets. Me
Speaker 1: going to college was probably the best thing happened to
Speaker 1: me to what I know a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't knew if I just made money, because anybody
Speaker 1: could get money, You lose money, get it, come back
Speaker 1: if your hustle. That's how I go. My thing is
Speaker 1: I think the man of above for giving me a
Speaker 1: billion dollars worth of knowledge I'm doing. Let me let
Speaker 1: me just say something. I just felt Richard as he
Speaker 1: said that. As he said that, I felt it. But
Speaker 1: let me let me teache sup like a little bit, right, people,
Speaker 1: let's get into some of your Yeah, this is amazing,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Roum. They said that two days before Nipsey
Speaker 1: had passed away, he was in the studio with you
Speaker 1: recording the record for I Got the Let me so
Speaker 1: let me, let me let me tell you how this
Speaker 1: has happened. Nipsy is such a real dude. Me and
Speaker 1: him probably recorded over seventeen songs together. Like I went
Speaker 1: to his hood because he was a stand up guy.
Speaker 1: They don't make them like that. I called a lot
Speaker 1: of artists I'm working on. I got the hook up
Speaker 1: to you know how people. Man, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it. Nipsy straight, big dog, what you need, Bam, here,
Speaker 1: ready to go. I met Nipsy Drew Drew Low, a
Speaker 1: dude from Chicago years ago. Low with fifteen hundred ras
Speaker 1: man did some stand up dudes. Ever since we built
Speaker 1: that relationship, Nipsey always asked me, man, how you do this?
Speaker 1: How you do that? And I always man, look, go
Speaker 1: do it. Let me show you. You can hear the
Speaker 1: respect that he has for you to his music continue.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Yeah, no, man, it was. It was
Speaker 1: a terrible loss for us. So were the studio two
Speaker 1: days before. No, No, we wasn't. We wasn't in the
Speaker 1: studio two days. He sent the records soon as I said, look, man,
Speaker 1: I need a record. Okay, bam. But we've been in
Speaker 1: the studio a lot together. We made We made a
Speaker 1: lot of records. But that was like, you know, you
Speaker 1: hear some of these guys that act like but something
Speaker 1: about Nipsey. What I don't like about this situation the
Speaker 1: hood us killing each other. We're gonna kill the people
Speaker 1: that's gonna put the bread in the hood and take
Speaker 1: away the man. Guys? Who else you want? Are You're
Speaker 1: gonna kill a plug for what? Because this man feeding families?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, we gotta stop that.
Speaker 1: How we gonna grow? So you gotta look at two
Speaker 1: the crazy that Nifsy. My biggest thing was with him
Speaker 1: that I told him his record when he was alive.
Speaker 1: So fifty two thousand copies now you have he passes
Speaker 1: sold millions. Why is that the same music now? People
Speaker 1: running around bumping the music and doing that. That ain't
Speaker 1: cool because this man had great music while he was
Speaker 1: a live You know, even bet I love Bete. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it, But you showcase this man funeral? Would you
Speaker 1: showcase this man birthday? But let's be honest. This man
Speaker 1: I was trying to get records on bet On the
Speaker 1: video chat said that about Prodigy as well, So continued Prodigy.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Bushwick, I'm just saying, yeah, we need all
Speaker 1: these outlets, but at least recognized we could do more.
Speaker 1: If you did that, that man wouldn't even been in
Speaker 1: the sbody here. But let me tell you something, Master Pete,
Speaker 1: that is the reason why we started this, yase. You
Speaker 1: know why we We didn't realize this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a big platform. We didn't realize we was gonna make
Speaker 1: a television. We just said, you know what, me and
Speaker 1: him were stopping hip hop people and we're like, you

Speaker 1: got twelve years in the game and people say, well something,
Speaker 1: you know, you know he's not the guy no more,
Speaker 1: and he's still making the same thing. And the crazy
Speaker 1: thing is, from the day one we started this, all

Speaker 1: Jeezy and I think jay Z was supposed to be
Speaker 1: on and so we we we just did that. We
Speaker 1: was about to shoot that video you know, pretty soon,
Speaker 1: and uh it's just it's just like damn bro always
Speaker 1: a good one that's really trying to do something and
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be like, well, man, maybe got shot,
Speaker 1: it'll be over. When I first when I first Helready
Speaker 1: got shot, I thought it was it was that like
Speaker 1: he's gonna, you know, recover hospital. Yeah, but but it's Man.
Speaker 1: But I ain't gonna lie. Man his death and brought
Speaker 1: so many people together. I've seen bloods and crips walk
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood that I never the latinos, the latinself.
Speaker 1: Manos loved him. You know, they loved me. They love
Speaker 1: my music. Man, I've seen everybody coming together because you know,
Speaker 1: everybody was segregated like Man especially it's people don't know.
Speaker 1: That was the only show I ever went through to
Speaker 1: E that I pulled up and I've seen every single
Speaker 1: game and I was ll do. I said, oh ship, alright, cool,
Speaker 1: we gotta be on point. And then two minutes later,
Speaker 1: it's like it was a shooting on the other side.
Speaker 1: I said, I knew what happened, and I just left
Speaker 1: because every single game, I'm sweet, kid, you not, they
Speaker 1: all saluted me. There's no problem. But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He brought peace. He let me tell you something. Did
Speaker 1: you see a lot of him and you because in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways you did the same thing. And
Speaker 1: um but the one thing, the one thing I wish
Speaker 1: I could have told him is how you got to
Speaker 1: get away from a neighborhood that you live in, that
Speaker 1: that you know. For me, i'd rather know my enemies
Speaker 1: because I played defense. I'm gonna play defense. That's just
Speaker 1: the way I go. You know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: you know when you get comfortable, because at one time
Speaker 1: I got comfortable in my hood to where you know,
Speaker 1: I know this is the safe zone for me, no
Speaker 1: matter whether I don't care where is that. I know
Speaker 1: once I get to the hood, I'm straight. And you
Speaker 1: gotta stop thinking like that once you get money, because
Speaker 1: just this the evilness I have the money being in
Speaker 1: the hood, you let your going down. But guess what,
Speaker 1: everybody else don't have money, so you cheese for the rats.
Speaker 1: That's what people don't realize. I don't care how much
Speaker 1: they know you. Or one time my man, the hood man,
Speaker 1: one of the home and said, man, why do you
Speaker 1: keep coming around here? I said, what man? I put
Speaker 1: this on the man? But you know, oh cool, I've
Speaker 1: got it now. I ain't caring one. I'm caring to
Speaker 1: Now you know what I'm saying this, master Man, That's
Speaker 1: how I live because the jealousy is real. I ain't
Speaker 1: never asked nobody to do nothing for me. If if
Speaker 1: I ain't got to do it, then they don't need
Speaker 1: to be done. To be honest with you, you know,
Speaker 1: and I just think that the only as you get
Speaker 1: money you come from the hood is not like how
Speaker 1: white people that have money could live. You have to
Speaker 1: know how to survive with money as a black man
Speaker 1: from hrep. Look look at changing drugs. You show you
Speaker 1: familiar with that. You know, it's like sometimes jam Master j.
Speaker 1: It's like a lot of the times the rappers get
Speaker 1: killed in their own and by people well because that's
Speaker 1: where they're most comfortable. Ship ball players. Look at your
Speaker 1: big poppy your head smashing other niggas else. I'm throwing

Speaker 1: and they're coming in the next up. Man, they there,
Speaker 1: next up because they're going hold and how we went
Speaker 1: hard like they really want this music thing. And I
Speaker 1: I man, I shot him out because I'm like, man, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all gonna do something that ain't been done internationally. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that international money you don't want
Speaker 1: to water. Now we also had snoop on here at Snoops,
Speaker 1: he broke it down. He said, man, he looked at
Speaker 1: us and for some reason, like both of his eyes
Speaker 1: looked at both of us the same time. He said.
Speaker 1: A lot of people was fronting. Yeah. But when pa
Speaker 1: and he said yo, and people were scared of death
Speaker 1: of shore. He said, no one would touch him at
Speaker 1: the peak, he said, like you know, like when he
Speaker 1: was leaving at that he said, not a not a soul. Yeah,
Speaker 1: would happened me. They were scared of like he had
Speaker 1: chicken pops, but they said master p came't dough like
Speaker 1: Superman black Superman. In my pinion, you had a black cake.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, did you have a purple one like Prince?
Speaker 1: But I know you had a kid. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: a man of gold, and I realized you don't need
Speaker 1: to feel no man but God. So whenever we did
Speaker 1: that deal, people don't know I went to visit was
Speaker 1: in prison at the time. I went to visit him
Speaker 1: in prison and wo woa, whoa whoa stop right there
Speaker 1: we did it. I don't think I've ever heard that
Speaker 1: Partoo said that, Oh, let's keep it going. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sit down with him, and I don't say that. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: continue dream chance. So he he had some deals for
Speaker 1: Snoop on the table. You know me, I'm a country boy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, look, dude, my money spent. How much
Speaker 1: you got how much they're gonna get you? He said,
Speaker 1: told me the number. I said, well, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you three hundred thousand more than whatever the deal you
Speaker 1: got on the table. And that's what we did in
Speaker 1: the prison. So you signed Sug like he signed Pop.
Speaker 1: You mean Snoop? Well it was it wasn't. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like that. It was like Sug was in prison and
Speaker 1: uh And I was like, what I say, just Sug
Speaker 1: shugg the pot. I don't. I don't know about that
Speaker 1: pretty much because you say Sug gave you the number. Yeah, Heed,
Speaker 1: he owned the company at the time, being it was
Speaker 1: up a label doing that. It wasn't Park dictating the number.
Speaker 1: I thought it was parted that to get out of
Speaker 1: that deal. He needed that to get money to get out.
Speaker 1: So but at this time, yeah, so we did the deal,
Speaker 1: and I think we probably had one situation, yeah, maybe too.
Speaker 1: And after that we handled it and then we had
Speaker 1: no more problems. And I want to get right back
Speaker 1: to that. Let me tell you, let me tell you
Speaker 1: the craziest I'll we'll get back to that. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you the craziest thing one time. This is what
Speaker 1: I knew, like black companies is power. I forget who
Speaker 1: it was was Jimmy Ivian or Leo Colins, but we
Speaker 1: I was meeting them in Vegas and I met with
Speaker 1: him and they said, Yo, did you just see how
Speaker 1: No Limit Records walked through? And I said, and I said, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't see them because and it was he said,
Speaker 1: there was twenty four Actually, wonder, it's the first time
Speaker 1: I ever seen and like this company was like, like
Speaker 1: no one's seen that before. Like you know what I mean? Well,
Speaker 1: my thing, my thing is with us, man, it's about
Speaker 1: making show your team eat it straight. You know. Now
Speaker 1: after a while with people don't manage their money, that's
Speaker 1: on them. You know what I'm saying, You can't, man,
Speaker 1: I want my people to be straight on on them
Speaker 1: looking good. But if you won't go just blow your
Speaker 1: money in the strip club. But you're gonna get out e.
Speaker 1: You won't see that. Y'all don't know what are you going.
Speaker 1: I remember, you know I did fift it first tour.
Speaker 1: People don't know that. So I've been been fifted. First
Speaker 1: guy in the game. He'll tell you I paid for
Speaker 1: his tour. Yeah, that's that's when that first record that
Speaker 1: was hot that he puts. So I ran up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ran him through the South to everywhere like like, yeah,
Speaker 1: now I knew he was gonna be a store that
Speaker 1: it was your first tour with pocket. Yeah. So so
Speaker 1: people don't realize the story with pox. So I I
Speaker 1: had the store. They'll come in my store and see me.
Speaker 1: They know I was about having money, so they invited
Speaker 1: me first is to come hang out. I'll go on
Speaker 1: the road. And then by the time they you know,
Speaker 1: you don't back then you don't get the money until
Speaker 1: you do the show or finished the show whatever. So
Speaker 1: we always go shopping. They know I had brids, I'll
Speaker 1: pay for everything. Then after the thing, no practice everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so they were like, man, you gotta get
Speaker 1: Peter come out on the road, you know. So so
Speaker 1: that's how I really started. And it was like I
Speaker 1: didn't really know I could wrap, but I know I've
Speaker 1: been through so much and I really lived this. I'm
Speaker 1: on the streets and this is what I do. Something
Speaker 1: like I'm like, man, I really live this. So the
Speaker 1: stuff I was saying, you know you it's solid, It's
Speaker 1: for real, something like I'll be out there on the
Speaker 1: bus saying some of the stuff even in my Stokes.
Speaker 1: So people coming to Stow and be like what they helped?
Speaker 1: That's on. I was like, I was just saying that,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, and so that's how I
Speaker 1: really know that I could. I could do it. And
Speaker 1: so I started making little stuff and putting it out.
Speaker 1: But then you know, I went from opening up for
Speaker 1: pop because they know they after while it was like
Speaker 1: you got a zone. Now you can open up the
Speaker 1: ice cream man. Yeah. Right right before I was doing
Speaker 1: the ice cream Man, the body by nobody. People's thoughts
Speaker 1: like you got man, I'm in the West Coast with that.
Speaker 1: I got gold tee dress, the whole baby. That's so
Speaker 1: so I remember being out there man, and I'm on
Speaker 1: the road. So they bring me out and forward is
Speaker 1: the lights the way the lights on. So the white
Speaker 1: guy always introduced me because I told Hi, I'm from
Speaker 1: New Orleans. He said, Mr Peter Country Single, I said,
Speaker 1: Doug Hold up the first little but it didn't go
Speaker 1: down like I pulled him to the side as it look, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm really from the streets, know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: he ended up he fixed it. But man, I had
Speaker 1: I had one fan. I had one dude in the
Speaker 1: audience just singing my music and then where everybody was.
Speaker 1: Man when went pocket, I was like, man, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: turn that one fan in the millions. And that's what
Speaker 1: I ended up doing. Man, I went out through the
Speaker 1: audience like twenty thousand people and shook this man hand
Speaker 1: and give him my T shirts or people don't know.
Speaker 1: My whole marketing scheme was I had made you if
Speaker 1: you appreciate me, that's it. So I ended up I
Speaker 1: got every sea that here. I put out the no
Speaker 1: limit T shirts. I don't care if your home is whatever.
Speaker 1: Every drug dealer hustle, I see what a fixed up card?
Speaker 1: Give him a free CD, you know. So that's what
Speaker 1: my street team. That was my marketing. And so you
Speaker 1: gotta realize you gotta start small. Man. I started small,
Speaker 1: and I was I appreciate them for letting me open
Speaker 1: up for him. How many shows do you think you
Speaker 1: did with them? I did a lot like I ain't
Speaker 1: kind of me. They wanted me to come. I don't
Speaker 1: care if I was doing shows and not. I was
Speaker 1: just on the bus. It was that guy crazy. Um,
Speaker 1: So was there any flag I don't know. I know
Speaker 1: we spoke on that earlier, like after you signed Snoop,
Speaker 1: like after you signed like like when you came to Cali.
Speaker 1: Was they like trying to like, yeah, I got I
Speaker 1: got a phone call from Sugar one time. He's out
Speaker 1: of prison at this point he was out of prison.
Speaker 1: And now y'all, y'all see, I think people thought that
Speaker 1: um Snoop was gonna come over and that was it.
Speaker 1: But you broke You had a single with dred On
Speaker 1: Yola liked that. That was crazy that so you gotta
Speaker 1: call from Shi. Did anything like transpired from that? Say,
Speaker 1: Caroline big enough for me? Him and puff? Oh? Why wow?
Speaker 1: I say, when you're moving because I just brought a house.
Speaker 1: You said you had that phone call? Um, was there
Speaker 1: any worries on your behalf? Because man, I grew up
Speaker 1: in the call of your project. Ain't nobody's gonna self
Speaker 1: oppressed me? Man, I don't care who you is. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I'm gonna work with you.
Speaker 1: You're another black man, to be honest with you. So
Speaker 1: when you go back and look at hot boys, I
Speaker 1: got a little cousin this big We don't care about
Speaker 1: size and none of that. Like alright, Peter him Man,
Speaker 1: that name was for real. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And I think i'd probably save half of the people
Speaker 1: in the hip hop that you know that. I'm like, no, man,
Speaker 1: let these dudes make it. And that's that's the thing
Speaker 1: that I don't understand about hip hop right now. Like
Speaker 1: if it's beef, it's beet for real, you know, like,
Speaker 1: and if it's not, it's not like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I understand, you know, somebody might be offended.
Speaker 1: I'm moving into I'm moving into Hollywood. Man, I'm not
Speaker 1: moving into your hood, So you shouldn't have no problem
Speaker 1: with me. Those white people got business on every corner.
Speaker 1: Why we can't have it? We killing each other for nothing?
Speaker 1: Anything I got. I'm one. That's the shows that many
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And you got a fancy
Speaker 1: word to go with them. That's the books. But that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We don't own nothing, So I didn't
Speaker 1: take that note to offense. When she did that, I
Speaker 1: just like, maybe maybe he don't really know me though.
Speaker 1: I figure, like, if you take your time and we
Speaker 1: can sit out and have a conversation, you know, you
Speaker 1: know who I am, Like, I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't disrespect people. I say, if you want to get respect,
Speaker 1: gotta give it. You know. It just made me feel
Speaker 1: a little different about them, Like, man, you know, if
Speaker 1: you won't do that, you do that in person, and
Speaker 1: then you you have a connect with him and actually
Speaker 1: came home like face to face on them. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever seen him after that. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Some of my people there, okay,
Speaker 1: but you know I told him we're good. It ended
Speaker 1: there because I already knew that. That's how I go.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Maybe somebody don't know me.
Speaker 1: I'm a man of gold, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hold my own, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: know the devil is real. That's what people got to realize.
Speaker 1: You know, even you believe if God is real, you
Speaker 1: gotta know the devil is really. So I'm like, it
Speaker 1: just made me feel a different kind of way that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have did that. I would have opened up man.
Speaker 1: Come to calip It's enough, rapp a lot, j oh
Speaker 1: y'all come to calip Man because this Hollywood just money.
Speaker 1: At know, Like I just think, if you look at
Speaker 1: this what we're talking about, shoes, these companies on every
Speaker 1: cone in the same block, addas going to going to mall.
Speaker 1: We don't need to be doing that. That's what I want.
Speaker 1: That's why I never said not to him. I wanted
Speaker 1: to tell that to him personally. When I see him,
Speaker 1: you know, it reminds me of like because like I said,
Speaker 1: we had a birdman sitting the same ship, and um
Speaker 1: it was the Calios, the Magnolia or something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, people say that, but you gotta marriage. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with y'all. My dad lived in the Callio.
Speaker 1: That's why I lived in the Callio with my dad.
Speaker 1: My mom and my dad split. I went to Calio,
Speaker 1: my brother, my sister they went to the Magnolia. My
Speaker 1: mom lived in the Magnolia, so I went to both.
Speaker 1: I went to both projects. As my MoMA got a
Speaker 1: little job, she she moved in the house on Penterson Street,
Speaker 1: right up the street from the Magnolih So I got
Speaker 1: family to Magnolia and found in the callio. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I really it really wasn't no beefing with us. You know.
Speaker 1: It's just that because it reminds me of what you
Speaker 1: said hot boys earlier, and you guys had the hot boys. Well,
Speaker 1: my hot boy was was a different You don't see it.
Speaker 1: You don't see it in the movie in the in
Speaker 1: the King of the South ice cream Man movie. You know,
Speaker 1: my cousin man, he had a good heart, but he
Speaker 1: just was he was about that life. So you know,
Speaker 1: I almost lost my life with him. So you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I I almost almost lost my life with him as
Speaker 1: a kid, and so um he ended up going to
Speaker 1: prison and I end up going to college. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and and man, it's about you gotta want
Speaker 1: to change. So I let people know. And you won't
Speaker 1: see this in my movie. I knew God had a
Speaker 1: way for me that day. So I'm faking. I want
Speaker 1: to be like hot boar. My cousin, he's a man.

Speaker 1: gonna be something. You could be a star. First day
Speaker 1: I got to college, he called all eightough and he

Speaker 1: had a way for me, that I need to change
Speaker 1: my life. And and and and that's when I said,
Speaker 1: I gotta do something legit, you know. And I believe
Speaker 1: in that man up above. Man, he he had changed
Speaker 1: your life. But you gotta change your mindset. And lot

Speaker 1: Sure they want me to be Yeah, man, do this
Speaker 1: you know, like back in the days. I don't know

Speaker 1: So he made us. I don't know Pastor. I never
Speaker 1: met him. That was supposed to be ya, I never
Speaker 1: met I never met him. But check check this out.
Speaker 1: What happened right? Greg Street called me for the radio
Speaker 1: and said, yeah. So he was like, look, p blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, wanta sit on and talk to you and
Speaker 1: wave the white flat. I said, I don't know nothing
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know the man like you could
Speaker 1: you make you make records? You gotta know what you're
Speaker 1: dealing with. So I just said, he said, what what
Speaker 1: can we do, buddy? I said, just walk on the
Speaker 1: other side of the street. You see me. I'm not
Speaker 1: looking for you enough. I don't that ain't meet. I'm
Speaker 1: a man of God. But just like two mountains may
Speaker 1: not meet, but two men will, you know. And that's like, man,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know, you gotta know what
Speaker 1: you're doing my hand, yeah, not what you gotta know
Speaker 1: what you're doing. And see when he when to a concert,
Speaker 1: he head already and it it went bad. I think
Speaker 1: c probably got the wrong dude to do. He thought,
Speaker 1: was him, you know what I'm saying so, but he
Speaker 1: was on goat and I said, see it could have
Speaker 1: got real and all other dudes around from hot board
Speaker 1: or whoever. I say, it was like, what's up with
Speaker 1: this dude? I say, man, they do the rapper didn't
Speaker 1: be a rapper. I'd never beef thone wreck because I
Speaker 1: never he was doing. He was, y'all, was the hottest
Speaker 1: thing out and he was just because if you actually
Speaker 1: listen to now that I'm thinking about it, you actually
Speaker 1: listening to he was like going on to take, but
Speaker 1: that was it he was going to actually take. He didn't.
Speaker 1: He was specific with this this is but I been
Speaker 1: thinking about it. But I think he thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna wrap back with That's what he wanted. That's what
Speaker 1: he wanted. In my belief, Yeah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: do that. I've never done that. In the height of
Speaker 1: everyone thinking maybe because um Bergman also denied this, but
Speaker 1: but maybe everyone maybe it's it really was us. But
Speaker 1: in the height of you guys, both at the height
Speaker 1: of no limit cash money, we we looked like this
Speaker 1: is this is Tupac Big all over again, but it's
Speaker 1: even more personal because this is from the same city.
Speaker 1: It's from the same time and some of the artists
Speaker 1: from opposite projects. It was almost like Wu tang the teams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know in the video show y'all. Let me tell
Speaker 1: y'all something. We're a couple of blocks up from each other.
Speaker 1: Do you think if it was beef it WK? I
Speaker 1: like them, dude. I was happy for them, even though
Speaker 1: we just don't get out on together. We don't get
Speaker 1: out like I don't fake it with people. If I
Speaker 1: don't know you, I ain't hang out, which I don't
Speaker 1: do that, you know, so I don't. I don't do that.
Speaker 1: Like do you see. I showed them dudes love everywhere.
Speaker 1: I got out shout out to cash money man for
Speaker 1: doing what they gotta do. I respect that they come
Speaker 1: from my hood. I want to see them when I
Speaker 1: want to see them eat. That's what we're saying. Why
Speaker 1: we can't be on every block like the Gucci and
Speaker 1: facade and all that ship man real ship, you know,
Speaker 1: but the system owners show that like anyway, if you
Speaker 1: don't own your record company, were killing each other for
Speaker 1: what I ain't never seen nobody beef with Jimmy Iven
Speaker 1: and the other dudes. Re Let's be honest, Why you
Speaker 1: another beef with them. So I tell these jumps, is
Speaker 1: anyway the money that they think in the music business now,
Speaker 1: we're still living off the money we had twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: I don't have to do shows. When I go do shows,
Speaker 1: it be for what I want. Pay it to me
Speaker 1: right now. So I tell people when you're in the
Speaker 1: music business, so y'all dealing with downloads and streams now right,
Speaker 1: So how you make your money? So if you get
Speaker 1: a million downloads, a million streams at a penny, how
Speaker 1: much you have and ship? Think about it? You know
Speaker 1: how much you have? I have no idea. I ain't
Speaker 1: making money. Those strange ain't got ten thousand dollars. So
Speaker 1: think about we sold a million records. You know how
Speaker 1: much I got. I'm gonna gett nineteen dollars a record
Speaker 1: beyond stream Let's let's be honest. I'm saying, why are
Speaker 1: we killing each other up? And you got a three
Speaker 1: sixty deals, so that's ten thousand knowledge. You gotta split
Speaker 1: with the man who owned the company. Let's behind why
Speaker 1: were killing each other and you in most of the
Speaker 1: hood rappers right now, it's not gonna get a million streamed.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. How many, no names gonna reach a million,
Speaker 1: so they're telling me. So that's the reason why they
Speaker 1: still live in the neighborhoods they live in. But we
Speaker 1: could fix that. We gotta start by owning stuff. If
Speaker 1: we own it, the money coming to us. We don't
Speaker 1: need to do all that. You don't have to go
Speaker 1: out and sell CDs at the trunk of your car.
Speaker 1: That got did. It's all social media. But social media
Speaker 1: gotta is a gift and the curasion because you've got
Speaker 1: the hater's gonna shoot it down before you even get there.
Speaker 1: You're working progress, but you're gonna let the hatter stop you,
Speaker 1: you know. And that's what I'm saying. Man, we got
Speaker 1: to know our business. We don't have to go sell
Speaker 1: our soul right now, you know. And that's the thing
Speaker 1: I was trying to do with Kodak and everybody next,
Speaker 1: like I'm helping you and this thing is a genie,
Speaker 1: like every next question of his brother. But then about
Speaker 1: if he were to listen to what I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, that's what I just I want to say.
Speaker 1: So this was the media takes stuff and because Kode,
Speaker 1: you know, he a young dude and he might say something,
Speaker 1: but he might not say it what but I love
Speaker 1: and respect I want you to make it though I
Speaker 1: don't want you to make I made. So My thing
Speaker 1: was to him was like, look if I go get
Speaker 1: this deal for you, oh boy, giving you a hundred
Speaker 1: grand right now, I know the man who owned the company.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get your meal, and you're gonna give me
Speaker 1: the same percentage you're giving that. Dude, I just want that.
Speaker 1: Just give me the same percentage that So, so I'm
Speaker 1: a black man, you're giving this white man to break.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't want your money, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna help you and show you what you need to
Speaker 1: do to get more money. And down the line, don't
Speaker 1: give me nothing. I fly you around, do whatever. But
Speaker 1: when it's time that we can make some money, let
Speaker 1: me make a little bread. That's it. But I think
Speaker 1: when people getting caught up at because they don't look
Speaker 1: at the big picture and even about giving back, people
Speaker 1: try to come in and divide and conquer. Because I
Speaker 1: told him at the time, I say, what the backpacks?
Speaker 1: You don't call that games. I said, there's been some
Speaker 1: backpacks doing in the community. You need to get out
Speaker 1: this without I've been doing this for twenty years. But
Speaker 1: us coming together and you as a youngster, you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about the man have to pay to
Speaker 1: get you out of jail. You're making your own bread
Speaker 1: and you're giving back to the community. So let's change
Speaker 1: that mindset. But you know, you don't see that because
Speaker 1: soon as social media gets something, they say a little
Speaker 1: part of it and take it out and mix it
Speaker 1: up and ended it. So you never know what really happened.
Speaker 1: I never asked the man for a dime. Why I
Speaker 1: gave I spent forty five grant in that community where
Speaker 1: I don't even know because I gave the kids my
Speaker 1: word that I'm gonna be there and I'm healthy, right yeah,
Speaker 1: and so, but I think what happened was the lawyer
Speaker 1: guy he had, you know when Kode talk. He said,
Speaker 1: you have big dog, I want those. It was some
Speaker 1: some kind of backpacks. It's like JA, but the dude
Speaker 1: got backpacks for six dollars. But it's not jam sports,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But that's what you get
Speaker 1: there for six dollars. You can't get jam sports to
Speaker 1: six dollars. Now if you go to the Chinese probably
Speaker 1: the lawyers you're gonna get it twenty five. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell him. I said, you know what,
Speaker 1: since we promised the kids that I'm gonna just pay
Speaker 1: for I've paid the money. But I wish him well
Speaker 1: and he a good dude. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: this is the system. Do they play on us while
Speaker 1: we get in trouble so they pay out bill, get
Speaker 1: us out of jail. Make them think they really would us.
Speaker 1: But you're really spending your own money. So don't be
Speaker 1: afraid to allder them. So that's my thing to you
Speaker 1: to the youngster. Don't be afraid to order these people.
Speaker 1: Let me go ordered them to see how really to dude,
Speaker 1: what what you need on me for? I'm saying, because
Speaker 1: that's a that's that's this man business, you know. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I'm gonna be honest with you
Speaker 1: with you're saying is the most genius thing after But
Speaker 1: you have to be at least like in your thirties
Speaker 1: to comfort hand. But that's why you break people around
Speaker 1: us to help you do that. You see fives right now,
Speaker 1: the lights can do be messing my o g If
Speaker 1: he says, see your hands down down to this day,
Speaker 1: right to this day because I know he gonna leave me, right.
Speaker 1: So my question to you is, did Kodak have any
Speaker 1: o gs around him that you could have talked to?
Speaker 1: Because you know that. The thing about it is like
Speaker 1: like like I'll give you a great example, right. But
Speaker 1: when I first started doing reggae thrown, I was telling
Speaker 1: these people don't ever stop right there, stop making excuses.
Speaker 1: I started my business at nineteen. Don't don't say they're
Speaker 1: young or whatever. The chart is on you. You gotta
Speaker 1: make those decisions. Do you want to be bigger or
Speaker 1: you just want to be regular? You got somebody to
Speaker 1: know how to make hundreds of millions of dollars the
Speaker 1: music business. You got an expert. I can show you
Speaker 1: how to get the money. You just gotta use me.
Speaker 1: So if you hard it, see in prison right now
Speaker 1: because he didn't listen. He didn't commit this crime. See
Speaker 1: innocent we're fighting for We should have to be fighting
Speaker 1: for him if he listened. So you wanta be a man.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm telling my grandfather told me a hard
Speaker 1: head make a sol fast. That's it, straight up right.
Speaker 1: You know what I was making excuses. The thing is
Speaker 1: I'm trying to give because you know what it is
Speaker 1: gonna be. Nor would you be alive right now. People
Speaker 1: made excuses for you know, think about you might bump
Speaker 1: your head. Yeah, and let us go bump out head.
Speaker 1: But you ain't gotta bump your head if I already
Speaker 1: did it for ten times. But the thing is, people,
Speaker 1: when you came out of the nineties, it was a
Speaker 1: lot harder for us to come out. It's a lot
Speaker 1: easier for these kids to come out different. So you're saying.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is they have a lot less guidance
Speaker 1: with them. That's that's all I'm saying. I'm not you
Speaker 1: think when the guy took him to jail, you think
Speaker 1: he worried about how young he is. Let's be honest,
Speaker 1: you're going to prison with everybody else you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to even with me or you. They don't care how older,
Speaker 1: how you is. It's about doing what's right. If you
Speaker 1: know you not a thinker, then go find you a thinker.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. If you know that you
Speaker 1: don't want to do the work, then you're gonna find
Speaker 1: somebody that's gonna do the work for you. But if
Speaker 1: you find it, yes, man, you're gonna end up ded
Speaker 1: on prison. To be honest, because certain things you don't
Speaker 1: need to be doing. You guys said, if you're big,
Speaker 1: this man got hit records. He huge, he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: in prison, should be on the streets in prison, shouldn't
Speaker 1: be on the streets. So at the same time, and
Speaker 1: then if I come to you and say, man, I
Speaker 1: need you to do this for me, but then I'm
Speaker 1: paying him money, but I won't pay it to you,
Speaker 1: they don't make no sense. So take this out. If
Speaker 1: a rapper comes to me, the hottest rapper right now,
Speaker 1: what you think they're making four hundred thousand the album
Speaker 1: to put out. So this is how the record company
Speaker 1: get him. I'm gonna give you. No, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you two million to do five albums. That's four hundred thousands.
Speaker 1: So but let me or you. Man. But if I
Speaker 1: say look recoupable, it's it's recoupable. But what if I
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna give you four hundred dollars when you
Speaker 1: do an album for me, man, I ain't about to do. Man,
Speaker 1: he got me for full hundred. You know all the
Speaker 1: money he got he made it. Not what they gotta
Speaker 1: do with that right, the same I'm just selling me
Speaker 1: up right now. They don't want to be up right now.
Speaker 1: You know, you know why, you know why, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you. I'm gonna tell you the reason why he's right.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're just hearing it from a person that's not
Speaker 1: from the same environment as you. It seems like it's
Speaker 1: like sugar. And then you're here from somebody and then
Speaker 1: you feel like they're in your business. That's the that's
Speaker 1: the thing is why we gotta stay in your business.
Speaker 1: You gotta stop. You're gonna sit down and eat with
Speaker 1: you all these people. I'm gonna eat with the hangar
Speaker 1: with them, like people tell me why you come from
Speaker 1: the hood. I mean, how you keep coming back to
Speaker 1: the hood and didn't. So now you've got guys that
Speaker 1: live in mansions, live in the big neighborhoods that don't
Speaker 1: come back. You know why? Thank god. Body, Then you
Speaker 1: got the ones that come you question me, like, so
Speaker 1: who posts they help y'all losing? Let's be honest. I
Speaker 1: should just stay my answer in my mansion and never
Speaker 1: come back. Y'all be happy with that. I can tune
Speaker 1: y'all out of the social me. I got my money already.
Speaker 1: You know what. That's the thing is. You didn't have
Speaker 1: to like be a mentor to Kodak, You didn't have
Speaker 1: to be a mentor to Dempsey. Um what what what
Speaker 1: makes you? Um? I forgot the other fat boy guy.
Speaker 1: The Melican means master me. I gotta get my past
Speaker 1: Dominicans today. Listen, Jesus Christ, you can't be happy like
Speaker 1: that's going on, my brother, Holy Moly moly, Yo. So
Speaker 1: I haven't lost my thorter question and I don't know
Speaker 1: what the fun was at but um, first off, pea,
Speaker 1: but you're saying why I come back? No, because that's
Speaker 1: the thing. He hesnit there and I'm passing it right
Speaker 1: back to you. That was a big thing about people
Speaker 1: when Nipsey got yeah murdered, was a lot of us
Speaker 1: were sitting back and saying, even when we come and
Speaker 1: get back to the hood, sometimes sometimes it's better to
Speaker 1: take the hood with you and get out of the hood.
Speaker 1: Is that true or though? What it all depends? I mean,
Speaker 1: when you're in the hood, think about it. If you're
Speaker 1: drug dealing in the hood and we're taking shot hold on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're a drug dealing in the hood, you know
Speaker 1: how to survive. Hold up a second bar. When you
Speaker 1: stopped learning how to survive, then you shouldn't go back
Speaker 1: to the hood like that. Like like if you were
Speaker 1: playing defense when you was in the hood, you might
Speaker 1: have play defense when you out of the hood. Goddamn,
Speaker 1: you know, offense gonna come offense have come down like this,
Speaker 1: ain't I'm I don't learn how to play defense for
Speaker 1: I played offense. I'll get the ball. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you something again. I want you to know, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on. Our show was about giving off people they love.
Speaker 1: Now let'll tell you something. You're one of the biggest
Speaker 1: moguls and drink champs history and hip hop history and
Speaker 1: black people history, black people. It got deeper. It got
Speaker 1: deep like that, and we want to salute you now.

Speaker 1: I got to be different. If I'm gonna be different,

Speaker 1: king of that. But now people saying that he got

Speaker 1: something back to? How many kids you took care of?
Speaker 1: You in the hood, destroying the hood? When you're gonna
Speaker 1: wake up and say, man, okay, keep your mouth closed
Speaker 1: if you ain't got nothing positive to see, especially if
Speaker 1: you ain't doing nothing, because it's easy to talk. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you all time. If you hate, you ain't getting
Speaker 1: no bread. People getting bread ain't hating. They're happy. They's
Speaker 1: my you see, I'm I'm I live in a mansion.
Speaker 1: I told the gangs out there and kelt I don't
Speaker 1: have to be there by y'all liveing. I come out
Speaker 1: of mansion. Man, I'm coming because I love y'all kids.
Speaker 1: Ain't coming to get y'all nothing. I'm coming to save
Speaker 1: y'all kids. I'm gonna get them kids whatever they need.
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you something, man, I pay
Speaker 1: attention to everyone's reputation. I pay attention to everyone's and
Speaker 1: everyone is your stand up person. You've always been, uh,
Speaker 1: I think you always will be. And I'm a fan.
Speaker 1: I'm just a fan of what you, what you din with,
Speaker 1: what you all the time. Nobody's perfect. I ain't perfect
Speaker 1: made think about it though, but this is what people say.
Speaker 1: I don't cheat, though, I don't know if you know
Speaker 1: that black men don't cheare not cheating, You're so what
Speaker 1: people don't. The thing that people don't realize man, that
Speaker 1: we all got twenty four hours. It is what you
Speaker 1: do with yours. If you spend your twenty four hours right,
Speaker 1: you will make some bread. You will come out of it.
Speaker 1: You will. I don't care how bad you're doing. Do
Speaker 1: something right. You're smoking and drinking twenty four hours. You
Speaker 1: ain't gonna have nothing think about. You don't have no job,
Speaker 1: no business. Just what the hood wants us to do.
Speaker 1: They want you, they see you on this show. They
Speaker 1: want you to come back in your hood and just
Speaker 1: you do this your job. You got the drink champs
Speaker 1: you but you you can't go in New York and
Speaker 1: just sit on the poach and you to make this.
Speaker 1: You got to work to celebrate. But this, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you celebrate that, you're celebrating the what
Speaker 1: that comes through that. So my thing is they want
Speaker 1: you to come back home and just hang out with him.
Speaker 1: So how are you gonna do anything if you or
Speaker 1: you ain't really if you ain't hanging out and see
Speaker 1: murder the realist think where he imprisoned. That's my brother
Speaker 1: thinking about when he would see murder was still he was.
Speaker 1: He said, he comes to see me and I'm the
Speaker 1: w hotel downtown. Yeah he goes. I'm thinking he gonnae
Speaker 1: itself sometimes see too real for itself. That's why he
Speaker 1: wigs that. I pray for him every night. I love him.
Speaker 1: But if he just yeah, man, if he just if
Speaker 1: he just listened to a little things, he wouldn't be
Speaker 1: there because it ain't see. See, he got a good heart.
Speaker 1: But it's the people you bring with something. You got
Speaker 1: to cut the people off that you have that don't
Speaker 1: think the way you think. You know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: that they don't think the way you think. People always say,
Speaker 1: you know you like the people you're around, and that's
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta realize. I don't care how much
Speaker 1: money you have, that ain't gonna stop you from going
Speaker 1: to prison. Because when when when they wanted somebody in
Speaker 1: that club they want to see that was the biggest ticket.
Speaker 1: They didn't care who did They let the dude go?
Speaker 1: Who did it? Now, you gotta fight for your freedom,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. But he hadn't been through
Speaker 1: this a bunch of times. And so so the thing
Speaker 1: about this man that we gotta look at what he's
Speaker 1: going through, hopefully to save with much of these other kids,
Speaker 1: because that's what he want to come home and do,
Speaker 1: show these kids that this ain't all with it how
Speaker 1: many pills they just don't want to the system in Louisiana,
Speaker 1: y'all know, it's a different kind of system. Man. So
Speaker 1: even when they've got no facts or whatever, they make
Speaker 1: facts you know they created. Man, think about it. This
Speaker 1: is the worst thing to be a black man in
Speaker 1: American be eighteen because it's for real for you every
Speaker 1: time you walk out that dough I didn't walked out
Speaker 1: that dough with the polies like put your heads onthing, like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, for real, you know. And then then
Speaker 1: if they don't know who you is, you're in trouble.
Speaker 1: So so you gotta know how to survive out here
Speaker 1: in the real world. That's why you gotta have your
Speaker 1: stuff together. My grandmother told me that when she was alive.
Speaker 1: I didn't get it till she died, you know. She said,
Speaker 1: you better have your ship together. You walk out this,
Speaker 1: don't and you better make sure the people around you
Speaker 1: had the ship together because you might not be coming
Speaker 1: back home, you know. And we're afraid of the truth.
Speaker 1: So if you don't want the truth, don't talk to
Speaker 1: me because I ain't gonna tell you nothing but the true,
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. You know, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at your risk and it looks like you have with
Speaker 1: DJ Klar calls a CHANDL layer. Yeah, go on, holy yo,
Speaker 1: you've been get a lot of money for a lot
Speaker 1: of times. And you know what, we're proud of you.
Speaker 1: You know what, let's make some noise for that. Throughout
Speaker 1: your whole career, it's lolays been an attachment to making
Speaker 1: someone else great, and you know, That's something I would
Speaker 1: love to take from you. Is I want to just
Speaker 1: keep continuing to me, make someone else great, if it
Speaker 1: makes someone squak home, make someone else great, Chin being
Speaker 1: on el guad, Mike on Elqua, and so on and
Speaker 1: so on and so on and so on and so
Speaker 1: on or so on a song. But I've learned that
Speaker 1: lesson from you. So you think about how did you
Speaker 1: drop three hundred albums in one year? Man? The manner
Speaker 1: is with you. I make records. I never wrote a
Speaker 1: record to pull out me. They gotta pour out me.
Speaker 1: So the thing is, I tell people you gotta be
Speaker 1: able to celebrate other people's success if you want to
Speaker 1: be successful, because hey, hey you can't, well, heye gonna
Speaker 1: get you at man. Hating gonna get you know whether
Speaker 1: man angry, dead or imp. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like you mad at this man because he's successful. You ship.
Speaker 1: And when I see a guy driving a nice call,
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, then that's a black man. I could
Speaker 1: get this. I what's up home, man, how you're doing?
Speaker 1: That's how I'd be Damn man. Look look he gotta
Speaker 1: he gotta pens. He got a feeling. Man, A black
Speaker 1: man and it motivates me. Doc. These haters motivate me
Speaker 1: to to go hard. You know, every time you have like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let me go do this on them, then let me
Speaker 1: go show him this then, you know, because you really
Speaker 1: don't and and and people say, why are you entertained?
Speaker 1: The haters? They need to be entertained. That's the only
Speaker 1: way they're gonna change. It's a disease, man, it's a sickness.
Speaker 1: You hating because you ain't gotten. When I was in
Speaker 1: the project, I'm like, I need to figure out how
Speaker 1: to get out out of here. Broday. Yeah, but first
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out how you get out. You know,
Speaker 1: you're in a bad place if you keep fooling yourself. Oh,
Speaker 1: I live in the project, but I'm in the mansion.
Speaker 1: Hold up, dog, don't make sense. I knew I ain't
Speaker 1: had no money. I'm in a project. Like I'm hungry.
Speaker 1: I live in though my grandmother got twelve kids. Everybody
Speaker 1: eating for me. I'm getting left overs. I appreciate it,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, damn, I gotta change this. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna fake it like it's all good. You know, people, man,
Speaker 1: it's cool to be in the hood. Who who want.
Speaker 1: The people in the hood don't really won't be there.
Speaker 1: They're saying that because they're there, there the opportunity to
Speaker 1: get some money, they're gone. Let's be ho. That's real, man.
Speaker 1: I had relatives when they got a little money. Where
Speaker 1: the accident was it? Man? They changed up. Hit the numbers,

Speaker 1: so she said, Now I went to the I went
Speaker 1: to the boat and spent it. But I need some
Speaker 1: more money the boats, you know. So I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: what we gotta start realizing when you get something, you

Speaker 1: you the problem. You keep thinking everything you do it's
Speaker 1: for cloud because people say that, So what you should do? Nothing?
Speaker 1: Everything is for cloud? Think about Okay, let's be honest.
Speaker 1: Did the record company Atlanta stop putting Nipsey Hustle Records out?
Speaker 1: His album was out of our way after you get money? Still,
Speaker 1: let's be honest. Why we ain't made at that? But
Speaker 1: I hear wrap us up, man, I don't want to
Speaker 1: put the record out yet because people might think uncle,
Speaker 1: for what if you did the song with him? That's
Speaker 1: what he wants. Put it out, left the world here
Speaker 1: like the only way we're gonna make him live his
Speaker 1: legacy live. We keep worrying about what people think because
Speaker 1: social medi didn't got us thinking crazy. Now you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Social media should be business if you're
Speaker 1: a boss and if you have the right thought in mind,
Speaker 1: and never mind what the anybody else is thinking. Man, Look,
Speaker 1: we need to stop there letting them make all the
Speaker 1: money off of us, and we're not doing nothing, and
Speaker 1: we don't even expose him that man, how do you
Speaker 1: think he sold millions of records so they should have
Speaker 1: waited over album that came out last year and nobody
Speaker 1: said nothing about it. BT got him up there, forty
Speaker 1: million people seeing his funeral. We can't get ten people
Speaker 1: to watch his video when he was alive. Man, come on, man,
Speaker 1: stop about stop that. I ain't let daldar. You ain't.
Speaker 1: I've never played my stuff. I don't care. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make money. I'm gonna just I say my ownership. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell the truth. And I like BT, but
Speaker 1: it's the truth. They need to know that. You to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. You know what I'm saying. Don't
Speaker 1: wait till we're gone to to be like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put you all on spot like you don't need
Speaker 1: to play my music when I ain't here to vote
Speaker 1: pick up to title, pick up to massive pill. Because
Speaker 1: we're out here being fully black media. You're going in
Speaker 1: already know what I'm saying. I'm saying, but it's a truth.
Speaker 1: Though we got a whole limit column. So they say,
Speaker 1: why are we so ignorant? Because they only show negativity.
Speaker 1: They don't show positive. They don't show this what we're
Speaker 1: doing in here, we're getting together, we're killing each other,
Speaker 1: we're talking, we're having a conversation, having fun thing about
Speaker 1: salute insolutely celebrating each other. But we were doing negative stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we'll be front page TMZ. It would be
Speaker 1: shot at that master piece s something You had an
Speaker 1: artist sign skull Duggery Penalty Records. How did you realize
Speaker 1: that you could take take any artists and put them
Speaker 1: on any company? How how did you figure that out?
Speaker 1: Because did you do that before resor that was after
Speaker 1: you know what to be? Whoever did it? It's all good,
Speaker 1: it's all good. It's a good uh. My thing is
Speaker 1: given artists that would never get an opportunity to be
Speaker 1: on a major label coming from the hood because the
Speaker 1: people want real street music. And Mr Cool was on job,
Speaker 1: Msical was on job. We got Msical offer job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like the spirit pnfused brother. That's just good. That's good.
Speaker 1: That's just good. I know it's gonna hurt me. That's
Speaker 1: some good ship. We're gonna keep going to think about
Speaker 1: it though, if you you're giving all these big artists
Speaker 1: record deals, why we can't give the ones that had
Speaker 1: just real talent but just wrong. That's what I looked at.
Speaker 1: I always deal with the underdogs. Same thing with the movie.
Speaker 1: If you look at a DC Young, Fat Boy and PO,
Speaker 1: they would never be in a big movie like this.
Speaker 1: I got to hook up too. But PO is a
Speaker 1: real sto man. DC Young fliers a real stuff. He's
Speaker 1: a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy, and I
Speaker 1: got to hook up too, so you know, uh up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he ended up riving a ups truck filled with with
Speaker 1: with phones and y'all know the my phones a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars of shot at the time, so three hundred phones,
Speaker 1: that's three hundred grand. So he go in, you know,
Speaker 1: and everybody looking for him. Man, you know he connected
Speaker 1: to the Columbians, Juju Girl and the umay, okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you said, big up, big girl. Yeah
Speaker 1: we got we got she funny black webbing. We can't
Speaker 1: understand what the he told about. That's good. So think
Speaker 1: about Jeez in the movie. What is Jesus? Jesus changed
Speaker 1: his life like, so he's selling like, uh, some type
Speaker 1: of helpful he used to used to hustle, but now
Speaker 1: you got a truck selling helpful and we're trying to
Speaker 1: get some roll ups from me and got no roll ups.
Speaker 1: The more we're like, man, come on, you know, so
Speaker 1: ag kind of going off on them, you know, Blue like, man,
Speaker 1: I know you ain't really changed, you know, but the
Speaker 1: roll up is it? You know? So yeah, now man,
Speaker 1: this is But but in the movies about the ownership,
Speaker 1: we own this resting room called Big Pappas. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you get big papers. It's a real resting room in
Speaker 1: real life, in real life in New Orleans. But my
Speaker 1: uncle own it. So it's like this, we're showing that
Speaker 1: we're losing the business and and what we have to
Speaker 1: do to come together as a family to say that

Speaker 1: They know I ain't sitting what you're gonna be some
Speaker 1: grumping dude, because it ain't your time. No, look at
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan them he ain't playing the NBA. They're happy
Speaker 1: they're making money. Yeah, I don't. I don't mind sitting
Speaker 1: on the sideline watching the youngsters. Man, don't do it.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I did it. I want
Speaker 1: you matter I fact, I want you to do it
Speaker 1: better than me. That's when I know we're gonna build
Speaker 1: a generation. We can't build on generational well with everybody
Speaker 1: being pop, I don't know what more th access killed it. Listen,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, master opinion, let go before
Speaker 1: everybody lap. When we started this podcast, we wanted to
Speaker 1: interview people like you who's been in this game. It's
Speaker 1: been relevant because people use that word relevant. That word
Speaker 1: relevant is a fucking foul fucking words because Apparson, it's
Speaker 1: a foul world revant because relevant is relevant to the
Speaker 1: people who's relevant to the relevancy. Meaning, if you ask
Speaker 1: Soldier Boy fans it's Master p relevant, they'll say no.
Speaker 1: Then you ask Master Peace fans it's Soldiery relevant. I
Speaker 1: don't say hell no, you ask drink Chance mans. And
Speaker 1: it's so on and so both. It's so relevant means nothing.
Speaker 1: It's to the people who are you in then where
Speaker 1: I don't and I don't focus on the world at all,
Speaker 1: but in my world. Yeah, but if you put your
Speaker 1: trust and gold, you don't got the worry about that.
Speaker 1: You have a motherfucking god of my world. And I
Speaker 1: got to beg you to fuck up. You deserve it
Speaker 1: and the ship you did. I wanted to go to
Speaker 1: New Orleans. I think I never been to Jamaica. Queens
Speaker 1: at this time come from the other side of the
Speaker 1: queen my goals. Yet I almost got killed trying to
Speaker 1: get about verse. Yeah, and I really didn't know that
Speaker 1: this killers outside of New York to that moment. So
Speaker 1: Nigga said, what are you out here for us? I'm
Speaker 1: looking about about it now, man. But we got, like
Speaker 1: you said, we got change that mindset, man, because even
Speaker 1: I look at New Orleans a different way now that
Speaker 1: that I'm not there, because at that time we was
Speaker 1: a murder capital of the world, three hundred thousand people.
Speaker 1: Chicago had eight millions. We had more murders than Chicago.
Speaker 1: That like, we gotta stop that because we are using
Speaker 1: our brains thinking about when we start using that now
Speaker 1: we know, we know how to get money. We don't
Speaker 1: know how to keep it, and we don't know what
Speaker 1: to do with it, and we don't know how to
Speaker 1: spend it. So we have to educate ourselves on financially.
Speaker 1: But we have to grow. You know, people always use
Speaker 1: that word that they're in the ghetto. Man, how you
Speaker 1: get out together? You gotta outthink the system, especially if
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta want to change. I tell people
Speaker 1: broke being broken as a mindset. So when we start
Speaker 1: changing our mindset and start growing, we could do it
Speaker 1: and we could build big old builders. We could come
Speaker 1: back and rejuvenate. We could go buy stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: we could buy clothing and start closing companies. You know,
Speaker 1: back then, I had a dog, Like nobody there an think.
Speaker 1: I was crazy, like, man, you're gonna make the dog
Speaker 1: the dog to make him saying dog? You know? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm so like, you can gentrify your own
Speaker 1: neighborhood exactly, exactly. And that's what this movie I got
Speaker 1: to hook up to is about, too, man, gentrification. What
Speaker 1: date is that out? July twelve, July twelfth, motherfucker's If
Speaker 1: your motherfucker's ain't out there, we're doing your master I
Speaker 1: can't thank you enough. Man, Listen to tell you something.

Speaker 1: did what you had to do. Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: I really and let me just tell you something any
Speaker 1: time you want to anything, because I don't know if
Speaker 1: you understand the power of this ship, because this is

Speaker 1: control of hip hop. Like we are on I know
Speaker 1: the owner, every fucking person, no one, no one. I
