0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.599
<v Speaker 2>leaders of like LA period but of course the new

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 2>generation of LA.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:36.559

<v Speaker 1>I mean I had I liked his music, of course,

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I was like, I want to do something.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to do a record with him. So I

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>tapped in with Cammy and uh, Cammy reached out to him.

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>We exchanged numbers. I hit him and said let's work

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, let's do Yeah, came up to

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the studio and we just immediately started recording.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then like for like, I've been in the

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>studio with O. He's pretty quick with the way he is,

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the way he kind of I feel like the newer

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>generation of artists for some reason, they're just because I'll

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 2>be like, we have recording studios here, and I just

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>noticed like the younger guys like there, they like they'll

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>put the ideas out and then work on like refining

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>it later.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what happened with the song, right.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm assuming you're you got the you're writing everything down, Oh.

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and yes, indeed, yeah, I mean it don't take

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>me that long, you know what I'm saying. I'm used

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>to I'm used to moving like like how how you

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of the younger artists move. Actually we

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>was well, Tupac was super moving like that that he

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>would write a song like thirty minutes.

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, I think that's that's why we got so much. Yeah,

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>remember all the bootleg mcaveelly's after he passed.

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, moved around in the streets.

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's crazy shouts of park Man.

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Yo.

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.200

<v Speaker 1>Ship? Yes?

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Indeed tell me like because at the time I'm assuming

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 2>there was an opportunity for you to be on death Road.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Well not well, Na, what it wasn't no opportunity. They wasn't.

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 2>They didn't. They never offered you anything officially.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Never offered me nothing officially. But it was I wasn't tripping.

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I just moved on.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how did death Jam thin end up happening? And

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 2>then like when, like, did Sug feel some type of

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 2>way that you didn't come to him or that you

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 2>ended up signing with with death Jam? Uh, because you

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>had it. You were around those guys so much.

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I've known him all my life. He probably was a

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>little salty, you know, because he probably didn't didn't expect

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>me to turn out how it turned out, you know,

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>but I was. I was a diamond in the rough

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>and he just he just didn't see that, you know.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>But it was all good. I moved on. But the

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>way I got signed with def Jam was actually still

<v Speaker 1>the lawyer and boom, that's where it all started.

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>So how long? Because you know, I feel like nowadays

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>like artists will sign and like they'll already have like

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 2>thirty songs ready to go because they've been working independently

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.360

<v Speaker 1>What is the the first thing I got signed? The

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>first thing I did? Oh okay, okay, yeah. The first

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>thing that happened in the process was as far as me,

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the way I was thinking was go buy your own

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>studio equipment. So that was my thing when you were

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>ahead of the curve. Bro Oh. Yeah. I went and

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>bought my whole studio, set it all up in the house,

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>and just started recording. I had other records that I uh,

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>it was not a that, but it was the other

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>little video one before that I forgot the So I

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>bought the whole the whole.

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Studio with your advance. So yeah, so you get your

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>advance and then you invested in the studio equipment.

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Yep, instead of instead of going into the studio, I

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.319
<v Speaker 1>invested in my own studio, my own equipment, got me

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>an apartment and put everything inside the apartment. In the

0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>bathroom was my vocal booth.

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and it was it was it was uh

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>and I and after that, I just went straight to

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>digging for samples because I'm a producer as well, So

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I just started digging for music first music first, and

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>then you know, once I started playing all the music,

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.599
<v Speaker 1>then I'll see find what idea works, you know, what

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.360

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>one on gallery right there by the Dennis. So it

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>was a dude selling crate records out of a crate there.

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>So I told the dude, let me buy the whole crate,

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>because he was selling the records for like a dollar

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>or two. So I said, let me get the whole crank.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I gave him like about five hundred dollars

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>like there you go, and took the crate home and

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>immediately started digging, you know. That was my weekends, like

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>just to dig and and find dope samples or dope.

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I did, of course, And so I'm going through the

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>records and I came across the uh uh I keep

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 1>forgetting Michael Michael McDonald and the Doobie Brothers, and I

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>heard it. I was like, boom boom, boom boom. I

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, that shit is dope, and

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>it brought me back because my parents used to bang it,

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, So that's where I heard it first. So

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, damn, if I do a song to this,

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>this ship might you know, be something something special. So

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I sampled it, put it all together, and I had

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 1>to be done with every everything was done. So I

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.719
<v Speaker 1>was like, damn, I need to get somebody on here

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>with me. So I was like, I'm gonna get at

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Nate so we could do a record like how Snoop

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and Dray did g thing. I said, me and Nate

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:10.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna do one like that.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, because at this point in time, Nate Dog

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.359
<v Speaker 2>isn't on Doggie style. No, he's not a household He's

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I first first time I ever heard Nate

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Dog was on Regulator.

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so oh he and those smoke yeah, and those

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>smoke you're right, yeah, yeah, And there was a trip

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 1>because I had I told him I wanted to do

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the record with him, but I had to get an intro,

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>which we always did, like when we was working on

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the Chronic we would do like intros and.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Skits too, oh yeah the best.

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So what I did was I did I was trying

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 1>to find an intro, an introduction, you know, and to

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>lead in to me starting the song. So that's when I,

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I regulate came to mind, and regulate was

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 1>like that was our word, like we need to regulate,

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>we need to regulate this. Let's regulate that. So I

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, regulate, you know. So just I just watching,

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm just watching my v c R tapes

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>one day, just sitting there chilling, and I watched Young

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Guns and I'm watching it and in the Park came

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>in where the dude walked, Well when when Billy the

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Kid first walked into the boys, Billy Billy dude.

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember my parents liked that movie when I

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>was a kid, I don't.

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I was that was man, that was my ship. Yeah.

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>So when he said we worked, we worked, for mister

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Tinsdale as regulators, you know. And then he started talking

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.000
<v Speaker 1>and some such and such and such, and then he said,

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 1>we regulated any still in this property, and we're damn

0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.080
<v Speaker 1>good too. So I chopped that in different pieces and

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I started it out regulators, we regulated any still, the regulators.

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't be any regularly. Yeah the street, he still was, probably,

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 1>but you can't get any geek off the street. Gotta

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>be handed with still. And then that was how the

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.719
<v Speaker 1>whole intro started out.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Was the regular leators? Was that was that in the movie?

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Indeed, okay, but they go regulators and then they

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 1>mount up. Do you like regulators?

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember? This is a random just tangent on

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>the side. I want you to continue the story. But

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.719
<v Speaker 2>do you remember the defensive lineman from the Vikings. I

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 2>remember on ESPN they had a biked up randall and

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 2>right before yeah that motherfuck yeah as soon as the

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 2>boss that ship was crazy. Anyway, continue with the story.

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>That was the Championship game wild Yeah, yeah.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, but the story, So, so you sample the movie,

0:13:58.640 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you sample off your VCR.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and uh so I had it all put together

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and I told Nate Man, let's let's let's do a

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>record together, you know. And and I did. I put

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that regulators on their regulator lon up. I put that

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>in the intro. Yeah, And so when when they came over,

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I let him hear it. He was like, damn, that

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>shit banging. So we're sitting there nodding, and I just,

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I just I said, I'm a freestyle thiss motherfucker. So

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I just came in. It was a clear black night,

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a clear white moon warming, and he was on the

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>streets trying to consume some skirts for the eve so

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I could get some phone free in my rid chilling

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>all alone, I swear a guy that was a freestyle

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 1>wow that first verse.

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 2>And then Nate just comes in, yep.

<v Speaker 1>don't know what I meant a lot of people don't

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I meant by that. But it was headphones, okay,

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like trying to get trying to get some phones, yeah,

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:10.240

<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you clarified that, because kid, I never I

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't know if you were saying funk phones. I didn't

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>know what was happening.

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>It was phones, Yeah, trying to get some phones, because

<v Speaker 1>the LBC on the Mischi trying to find mister Warmer. Gee.

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I just I had after that, so I went off

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>of what he was saying. So that then I started writing.

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like a true back and forth.

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.000

<v Speaker 1>I had engineered. He sat right in there with me.

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. A random like, did you invoice the label

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 2>for the studio time?

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even invoice. I should have shit because they

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>had you know, they had a studio. Yeah yeah, but

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I got all the original recordings on that.

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. Hey, that that's crazy. So you guys finished

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 2>this song? Do you have any idea because this is

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 2>one of the most iconic hip hop songs of all time.

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it has been said that you kind of

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 2>helped save def jam during that time. Yeah, did you

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 2>guys have an idea that like this is the single,

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 2>this song is this is the one? Or like like.

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>No, we didn't know. But what I used to do,

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>just like I did for End. I mean, yeah, indo smoke.

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Every time I got around my friends or family, I

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 1>would play play record. So one day I went up

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to record one with Dre and him and Mike Linn

0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>was there. So I asked Mike. I was like, look, man,

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 1>come listen to this record. I just did I want

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you to hear this shit. It's with me and Nate.

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>So we jumped in the car. I played it and

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>he heard. He was like, damn, that motherfucker banging. So

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he was like, can I take the CD? Because that

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I was on CDs. Then now I'm like, hey, I

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.199
<v Speaker 1>then went from cassette tapes to CDs. I didn't bossed

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit. So I gave him the CD

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, can I let Jimmy hear this?

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was like hell yeah, so he let Jimmy here.

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Once again, I got the call, we want this to

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 1>be the first single on Above the Rim soundtrack, so

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, are you serious?

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Another one? Yeah?

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So he was like, yeah, so another Tupac movie. Yeah,

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>another one, another one, another one, and so they wrestling,

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, def jammer. They did the deal, and we

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 1>got the deal done, and Regularly was the first single.

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 1>And the cold thing about it, which probably calls the

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>friction between Sugar and Russell and Leor, was that after

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, which it shouldn't have been. He

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have really been tripping that hard, but he was

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>probably like these motherfucking slick ass motherfuckers. What we did

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 1>is we repackaged Regulator all over again and made it

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>seem like it was just it was my single on.

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Your album because the Rim soundtrack was a death Row album.

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was a death Row album. So we took

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Regulate and repackaged it and did everything all over and

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 1>released it as a grange single, right, And then that

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>made my album self fo a million records crazy and

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like damn. And then I dropped this DJ

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 1>on top of it, and then.

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 2>This j was amazing. I mean, it was a classic album.

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>So like, because at that time, man, death Jam wasn't

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 2>a weird place, and it's kind of crazy to think

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 2>that like a kid from Long Beach. Yeah, kind of

0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.640
<v Speaker 2>saved the most iconic hip hop label of all time

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>at least, you know, helped push it through a tough time.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Like were you like aware of that at the time,

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 2>that like you were like the ship on the label,

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 2>like you were the one kind of keeping the lights

0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 2>on at that moment.

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>At first, I wasn't, but you know, once I learned

<v Speaker 1>Man. Yo.

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:26.640
<v Speaker 2>So you're obviously man, I feel like, uh, when when

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:31.520
<v Speaker 2>you're coming out, what you're doing sonically is much different

0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>than what I would say, Like the quote unquote death

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Row sound was obviously you're on the chronic, like you're

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 2>part of that, you're a part of that legacy. But

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the g funk sound was so different and very very

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 2>very distinct for you, Like when did you decide to

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.439
<v Speaker 2>call what you were doing g funk?

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was introduced pretty much, uh Laylawn from Above

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Love Above the Law. They that was g funk.

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>So that was okay. So they were the first to

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 2>do the.

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>G funk Yeah okay, yes, So they took me under

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 1>their wing as a pup, didn't have no place to stay,

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 1>none of that. Took me in as a pup, and

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I became part of g funk with them, and then

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.640
<v Speaker 1>just I always just kept saying g funk you know, musically,

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>because that's what it was when when I was with

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Layla and Above Above the Law in seven now and

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 1>so you know, after you know, they kind of like

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't like popping no more and stuff like that.

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I carried it, carried on with it, you know what

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Not to say that they was like gone

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, but yeah, well I said, regulate the G

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 1>funk here, which means I met that as far as

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like let me bring this ship back, you know, and

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and let motherfuckers know this's g funk. So but the

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>sound that you hear, and that's my version of g funk,

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's different, uh sounds along with it. That's

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 1>but that that was the avert the genre of G

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>funk I created, which was chords, strings, we brings, melodies,

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, G funk were rhythm is life and life

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 1>is rhythm and that that that was That was my

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:32.439
<v Speaker 1>how I did. And then I took it worldwide to

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>where the whole world like no G funk, you know

0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? And you know, and and and I

0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 1>created my own genre of G funk with with but

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>it's still a part of all of all of the

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what I was raised in.

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.360
<v Speaker 2>You being like a superstar at the time, I mean,

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 2>one of the hottest drivers of the planet at the

0:22:55.160 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 2>time being from l A. But somehow avoiding any like

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 2>crazy drama dur in that era when everybody was beefing

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 2>and everybody was on some bang bank shoot them up shit.

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you were just like the cool dude,

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 2>How did you stay out the way like that, because

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.640
<v Speaker 2>obviously you're close with everybody who's involved.

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean, just you know, just just standing out

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the way, just minding my own business, but you know,

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>things was coming my way. I just, you know, wasn't

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit there and just let anybody try to do

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.280
<v Speaker 1>anything or come at me any kind of way. I'm

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 1>with whatever they whoever was had a problem, I'm with

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>it too, you know. So they and they know that.

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:43.359
<v Speaker 1>So that's probably why a lot of it, you know,

0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't didn't. A lot of stuff didn't go down because

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm with the ship too, you know. If that's how

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to get down, that's.

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.360
<v Speaker 2>How if the circus comes to your dor, you're there,

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 2>but you're not gonna willingly participate.

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna jump and jumping nothing, but you know,

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean I had to deal with a lot, you know.

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I had to deal with with death jam and sugar

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and beef, and I had to deal with when Dre

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>left uh death Row and I didn't even know, you know.

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I wish you would have told me, get the heads up.

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 1>And I mean I had to deal with a bunch

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 1>of bunch of stuff, you know, but I wasn't having it.

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Was there was all that stuff you were dealing with,

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:30.880
<v Speaker 2>and all that kind of was what was the reason

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 2>why it took so long for I wanted all to

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 2>come out? It was like a five year ye right.

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, I wasn't that long before. That wasn't that

0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>long because what what happened was that's when the merger

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was happening, big old mergers.

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Because I wanted all did I wanted all my shot

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:47.280

<v Speaker 1>I shot to Share. That was my second album, Take

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a Look Over your Shoulder.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking that's what that's the album I'm thinking of. Yes,

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I had, I had I had a Remember back in

0:24:57.320 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the day, we used to go to the warehouse and

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 2>just buy singles because we can't afford the album.

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed. Yeah, yeah, I worked that warehouse, I know.

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:07.560
<v Speaker 2>So I had I had the I shot the Sheriff single. Yeah,

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 2>so that was your second out. That's right. That's right.

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>So for you, like take me back then, because at

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 2>the time you, uh, you're putting your music out, Snoop

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 2>is dealing with this trial. What was it like being

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 2>so close to that situation and still having to like

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.120
<v Speaker 2>stay focused on your own ship with like the uncertainty

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.199
<v Speaker 2>of like kind of the guy who kicked it all

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 2>down for everybody, you know, like possibly going away forever.

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I believe it or not. I got

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 1>pulled in. I got pulled in on the case.

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 2>So so like like as a witness.

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Nah, I got I got uh interrogated. Oh so they

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>were Yeah, they interrogated me.

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Damn.

0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know somehow I got put in it.

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean you were around, right, So they're like.

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't know, I don't that's crazy, I

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:05.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know nothing.

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:05.879
<v Speaker 2>How stressful is that?

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was very stressful just to see your

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 1>best friend going through possibly ending up going to jail

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. It was real stressful. And I

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:23.679
<v Speaker 1>was there I was there. I wasn't there, uh physically,

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 1>but I was there for him, uh, you know, calling

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>him and talking to him. You know. Actually when it

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 1>was going on, I actually went up to the courthouse

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it kind of got ugly up there.

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>They was trying to they were trying to trip on me. Yeah,

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:45.879
<v Speaker 1>trying to trip on me up there, like the death row. Yeah.

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it was like, oh, so this is

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:51.719
<v Speaker 1>what it is, y'all tripping like that.

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay. So that's when I was like, all right, fuck

0:26:55.480 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this shit, I'm gone. But I still was with my homeboy,

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>what you know, And I was like, it is what

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it is, you know.

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm and the whole and the whole issue with that

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 2>was it over regulators or was over you just not

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.240
<v Speaker 2>uh like I guess going to death jam.

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Sheu probably was a little pissed that that that they

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:22.160
<v Speaker 1>signed me. Yeah, you know, but he could have had me.

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Signed, right he I'm sure he could have been ninety two.

0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 1>You could have had me signed. But it can't be mad,

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. And then it may be some other ship

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that went on went on that I never knew about,

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:36.359
<v Speaker 1>between Rustling Lee or you know, and uh, and should

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know. I didn't even waste my time

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>thinking about that ship.

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I saw a few years ago. I saw something you

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>were talking about. I think you said regulator made or

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 2>at least you had made like one hundred million dollars

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 2>for Death Jam or something like that. Yeah, which is

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 2>a people don't understand. Like back in the day, actual

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 2>money was spent on CDs. These days, the streaming rates

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 2>are just so it's like it's it's crazy, it's terrible,

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:04.879
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, that's an insane amount of money. But that

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 2>was also like the era of like not the greatest

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 2>record deals.

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:16.399
<v Speaker 1>We'll say, yeah, yeah, but I had a pretty you know,

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a pretty mind was.

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay for the time, it was okay reading Readingtotia.

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>We renegotiated, but because it went to what they call

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the superstar status, so when that happens, you got to renegotiate.

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 1>But I started out only making like a penny, AND's

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:43.120

0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>like real, Oh my god. It was low.

<v Speaker 2>So they had like you probably got a cool advance,

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.400
<v Speaker 2>but then your royalty on your album was nothing.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Like like not even you know it was it was

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:58.480

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that sh it was cool.

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean right now, it's it's people come up to

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>me all the time like you was one of the

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 1>hardest motherfuckers the game in the Yeah, in the game,

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, damn, okay, and I'm glad they

0:31:56.160 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>did that. But somebody should create I might even try

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to do it myself, create a new one.

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I've heard them talk about it, or at least I've

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>seen that. There's been like rumors.

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't mind investing with somebody in.

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 2>That, yeah, or just doing like a like a hip

0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 2>hop It doesn't have to be one label, like it

0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 2>could be like you could just be like a dope fight.

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I just think that should be. Like imagine if you

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 2>could open up a game and you could select Hendrick

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and then someone else will select Drake y'all scrap.

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, And the thing is is this okay, chop

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 1>it up, just chop it up there and give everybody

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a piece, Like to say, if you five maybe eight

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:36.360
<v Speaker 1>guys chop that ship up.

0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, then they can do like the DLC. You could

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 2>download new rappers. You know, they get get paid off

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 2>of that.

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 1>For sure, for sure it'll go crazy.

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 2>It'll go crazy. Now that'd be hard.

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Man, Just have me and the motherfucker. If y'all do it,

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you put me back in it again. I'm with it, yo.

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 2>It took you guys so long to do the two

0:32:54.320 --> 0:33:01.120
<v Speaker 2>on three project. I'm why is it not on any DSPs?

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Because I have to. I always have to listen to

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>so Fly off of some shitty YouTube link.

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it went the T and T went bankrupt and

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:17.719
<v Speaker 1>from there I never knew what happened to uh, the

0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:21.400

<v Speaker 1>Nate's state just going to get the masters.

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 2>And I mean you also could just buy the album

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 2>off of eBay and then rip it and.

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we get the masters. I know a guy who

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>knows who has the masters, but they can't. You can't

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 1>do nothing with it, you know, can't do nothing with

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Remember when that she came out, because you were what record?

0:34:57.360 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you work to radio? Because I just started in

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:02.000

<v Speaker 1>It, man, I'm working on it. Yeah. But that that

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 1>was a trip man. And then I got a lot

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.759
<v Speaker 1>of unreleased music that I'm gonna start putting up, just

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:34.480

0:47:27.080 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>your fare ten levels is high and your liver end

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:33.520
<v Speaker 1>zymes is kind of off. So I was like, so

0:47:33.640 --> 0:47:36.440
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? So my first the first thing

0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:40.719
<v Speaker 1>hit me was like drinking, you know, because I'm all

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I feel. I was like, damn, I back hurt right

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 1>down the rights, like ah shit. So he made me

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:54.839
<v Speaker 1>test again and my fare tem was still up up

0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:57.840
<v Speaker 1>like it was eight hundred and something, and then it

0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:00.920
<v Speaker 1>went down to seven hundred and something. Like I had

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:02.959
<v Speaker 1>stopped drinking though, but when I when I went to sing,

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 1>so he had me coming in for ultrasound. They did

0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:10.319
<v Speaker 1>ultrasound and look to check my liver, my spleen, my

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:13.759
<v Speaker 1>gallbladder and all that stuff. So they looked at it

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:15.759
<v Speaker 1>and then he came back and he said, you have

0:48:15.880 --> 0:48:20.160
<v Speaker 1>a fatty liver. So he said, it's it's it's uh,

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it's totally reversible, but you're gonna have to stop drinking

0:48:24.680 --> 0:48:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna have to change your diet. And I immediately,

0:48:29.560 --> 0:48:34.359
<v Speaker 1>like I had maybe two beers after that, right after

0:48:34.440 --> 0:48:36.319

<v Speaker 2>second album, first album, I'm saying dog Father the second

0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Snoop album drops, which was I think ninety six, So

0:54:58.040 --> 0:54:59.439
<v Speaker 2>you're you're probably.

0:54:59.200 --> 0:55:01.759

0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:02.320
<v Speaker 1>your shoulder.

0:55:02.560 --> 0:55:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Snoop ends up. I think dog Father. I love dog Father,

0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:08.040
<v Speaker 2>but I think it was you know a lot of

0:55:08.080 --> 0:55:10.960
<v Speaker 2>people it wasn't dog Used obviously, right, Yeah, Snooper tell

0:55:11.000 --> 0:55:13.680
<v Speaker 2>you that things go left for death throw he leaves,

0:55:13.719 --> 0:55:16.440
<v Speaker 2>he goes to no limit. What was your thought on

0:55:16.640 --> 0:55:19.000
<v Speaker 2>like the no limit move just for him just being

0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:20.759
<v Speaker 2>like close to the situation, Like.

0:55:23.800 --> 0:55:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't I mean, I was just rolling with whatever

0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Snoop wanted to roll with. You know, at first I

0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was I was like, I think he probably could have

0:55:36.040 --> 0:55:37.480

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, anybody. But he made his decision was to

0:55:42.000 --> 0:55:45.839
<v Speaker 1>go with master P. And master P was cracking at

0:55:45.880 --> 0:55:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the time, and sure, and he did a lot for

0:55:47.880 --> 0:55:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Snoop and he showed him a lot of love, and

0:55:50.520 --> 0:55:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, because Snooper hit me like, look the snigger

<v Speaker 1>He went in there and did it. You know how

0:58:45.520 --> 0:58:48.080

<v Speaker 1>the fucking song.

0:59:04.840 --> 0:59:06.360
<v Speaker 2>That ship's crazy and uh.

0:59:07.880 --> 0:59:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And uh, because it was, I was, I was pretty

0:59:10.800 --> 0:59:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I was hurt at that time. I was. I was crushed,

0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:15.920
<v Speaker 1>pretty pretty crushed because I wasn't with Snoop and dra

0:59:16.760 --> 0:59:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and none of my none of my guys.

0:59:18.640 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's almost like during during during that era, like

0:59:20.880 --> 0:59:22.520
<v Speaker 2>you guys should have been like a joining each other's

0:59:22.520 --> 0:59:25.280
<v Speaker 2>success together, as opposed to being like, well, since I'm

0:59:25.280 --> 0:59:27.080
<v Speaker 2>not on your label and Shugar feels some type of

0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:30.280
<v Speaker 2>way we are kind of a part. That's that I

0:59:30.360 --> 0:59:30.840
<v Speaker 2>had to suck.

0:59:31.240 --> 0:59:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was.

0:59:31.840 --> 0:59:35.640
<v Speaker 2>It was terrible because you're fucking on fire too, so

0:59:35.680 --> 0:59:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure like, yo, this regular ships everywhere.

0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and it's just you know, I wanted to

0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:44.520
<v Speaker 1>them to enjoy the success with me.

0:59:44.800 --> 0:59:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you man, not for sure and vice versa. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah,

0:59:49.200 --> 0:59:51.920
<v Speaker 2>that's got to be crazy, like a song like how

0:59:52.000 --> 0:59:55.360
<v Speaker 2>long will they mourn me? Like making that song while

0:59:55.440 --> 0:59:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the studio environment is bitches?

0:59:57.800 --> 1:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah yeah, I mean because he got a call. Actually,

1:00:03.240 --> 1:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>he had got the call that his his homeboy Cato,

1:00:07.280 --> 1:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>had got killed in Detroit.

1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Yeah, So that was the inspiration because it's like,

1:00:11.520 --> 1:00:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that's a serious.

1:00:14.000 --> 1:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>When he got the call and he was like, one,

1:00:17.120 --> 1:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you got something And I was like, yeah, you.

1:00:20.200 --> 1:00:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Know that's crazy. And that was the second record you

1:00:22.600 --> 1:00:23.040
<v Speaker 2>did that night?

1:00:23.160 --> 1:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And what's the trip is that? I used another

1:00:27.120 --> 1:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the same sample. I used the sample that I used

1:00:29.720 --> 1:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>on my ample on my album. I use it again

1:00:32.600 --> 1:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>for him, just as like on some mixtape type ship. Right,

1:00:36.160 --> 1:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>So I took super Sol's is the same beat and

1:00:39.920 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I did it. I redid it and did it for him.

1:00:42.640 --> 1:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>For how long were they more on? Man?

1:00:44.080 --> 1:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>That second? Yeah? It's it's funny because uh, you you're

1:00:48.960 --> 1:00:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you come like you sample? That's what you do?

1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you have?

1:00:53.400 --> 1:00:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you like? Because I talked to guys like Status Select,

1:00:56.200 --> 1:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the Alchemists. Sometimes it's just like dude, sometimes you just

1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>let it fly man like, yeah, because you can't get

1:01:02.000 --> 1:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>ahold of the estate or it's just like hopefully they

1:01:04.800 --> 1:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>don't catch it. Yeah, I mean because like at the

1:01:08.280 --> 1:01:09.720
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, it's like if you really had

1:01:09.760 --> 1:01:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to clear every single sample drum well, I did.

1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I did well.

1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you had to on depth jamah. But even

1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>just like these days, it's like if you're an independent artist,

1:01:20.440 --> 1:01:23.960
<v Speaker 2>it's almost impossible you couldn't afford to put an album out,

1:01:24.040 --> 1:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>you know.

1:01:24.400 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Like, well I just did it, and you cleared everything.

1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I just did it with with the with the single

1:01:29.720 --> 1:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I got was oh okay, keep sweat.

1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean yeah, but I think there's obvious there's obvious.

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Ones you sweat. He ain't no joke, you know what

1:01:37.840 --> 1:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying.

1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>That's an obvious sample, right. I feel like there's like

1:01:40.480 --> 1:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>some of the like more like yoah, I took this

1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>breakbeat off this record I found at the store, you

1:01:46.160 --> 1:01:46.960
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean, get.

1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Away with like you can get away with it because

1:01:49.200 --> 1:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that stuff was probably just like nobody

1:01:52.360 --> 1:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>is even on it, you know what I mean. Sure, yeah,

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>so some things you can't get away with.

1:01:58.040 --> 1:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>You said, you and Zoe have a a lot of

1:02:00.480 --> 1:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>other songs together or you're planning on doing something.

1:02:03.440 --> 1:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Now we got we got some songs. I just haven't

1:02:05.800 --> 1:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>put my verses on and edited his part your beats, yeah, ok, yeah,

1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>But what I did was, I, uh, even with the

1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>single we got right now, let me breathe, I had

1:02:18.640 --> 1:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to piece that together because he just came in and

1:02:22.560 --> 1:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>wrapped and then you and you took it and then

1:02:25.400 --> 1:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you had the formatted and piece it all together. So

1:02:29.400 --> 1:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I got to get in there with the records that

1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>he did now piece yeah, piece them all together once

1:02:35.120 --> 1:02:39.640
<v Speaker 1>in then I'll drop a verse or whoever he wants

1:02:39.680 --> 1:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to get down on it, like if it was a

1:02:41.240 --> 1:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>problem or somebody come get down, or even if Kendrick

1:02:46.960 --> 1:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>want to jump on one. You know, I wouldn't mind

1:02:50.200 --> 1:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>producing some ship for Kendrick.

1:02:51.760 --> 1:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Would producing some ship for Kendrick.

1:02:53.720 --> 1:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>He get up under one of these, It's it's gonna

1:02:56.040 --> 1:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>be another game changing.

1:02:57.600 --> 1:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>What were your thoughts on the whole? Not like us,

1:03:00.600 --> 1:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>euphoria everything. I mean, it feels like the spotlight is.

1:03:05.040 --> 1:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>On l a a uh. That ship is dope as

1:03:10.560 --> 1:03:13.480
