When I was exactly 72 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: how it was I wish. She told me I couldn't 73 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: be a rapper, probably a sixteen, and I was like, Mama, 74 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: want to be a rapper. She's like, no, you don't. 75 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: So that killed that dream.

Meanwhile, today's guests one half of the 79 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: rap duo The Dog Pound along with Dash that bleep Dash, 80 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: I know, Dad bleep Dash. Uh. He had his first 81 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: solo album eight. Uh. They obviously broke up Dog Pound 82 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: broke up for a minute, but they got back together, 83 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: thank God, because we need them. Uh. And Corrupt specifically 84 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: tells a story of a guy who didn't even grow 85 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: up in l A. I'm surprised he has such a 86 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: West Coast vibe. I thought he grew up in l A. 87 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: But he split his time between Philly and l A. 88 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: Between Philly and l A like how you go East 89 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: coast west coast. That's why his unique sound was developed. 90 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: I believe, at least my in my opinion, I believe 91 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: he has such a unique sound because he lived in 92 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: both worlds. If you will, on both coasts, if you will, 93 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: UM give you a little gossip. Did y'all know that 94 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: he was engaged to Foxy Brown for two years? Did 95 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: y'all know that? Okay, none of my business, but he was. 96 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't get married. Uh. But he is now married, 97 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: happily married, and his wife is lovely. She serves as 98 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: a publicist. She helped us a lot with this, but 99 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: it was really good for me to be able to 100 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: talk to him and get some really and information. Y'all, 101 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about death Row. We're talking about the beef 102 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: between East Coast and West Coast. We're talking about how 103 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: it all culminated at the Source Awards.

However, I asked Corrupt about that, that that war, 118 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: if you will, that battle, if you will, and he 119 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: didn't really want to talk about it, but he did, 120 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: and he should have some interesting light. Um, and I'm 121 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: just excited that he's here.

Today's guests on Naked, Getting Real, Naked, Corrupt, 124 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: enjoying being born in Philly. It's like basically being born 125 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: in hip hop because that's all it was back then, 126 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: discoing hip hop and music, you know, and so it 127 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: just created my musical roots, you know. And um, I'll 128 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: be honest with you. You You know, when I was born, 129 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: my father moved my mama out of Philadelphia to the suburbs, 130 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: Darby Township that was a suburb, uh to five Sharon Hill, 131 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: and that's where I spent the majority of my time, 132 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: between there and North Philly and Germanytown. But that gave 133 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: me all my flavor right there. So when I moved 134 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: to California sixteen, it was a very big change, whole 135 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: different lifestyle. And you know, I was great at what 136 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: I did, which was the mic. So when I crashed 137 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: my mama's car and she said, boy, you got together, 138 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: and that's what got me. You know. They say it's 139 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: a positive in every negative. So when I crashed the cow, 140 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: that's what got me sent to California with my father 141 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: because he's from Philly. But he moved to California and 142 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: changed my life. Yeah, that's where my father moved to. 143 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: He was living in Compton and he moved to Hawthorne. 144 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: He wanted me to have a better life than being 145 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: in County. So yeah, I moved to Hawthorne. But the 146 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: difference was just different mentality, you know, uh, a different 147 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: way to to live and survived, a different way to 148 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: be on the streets, different schooling, different everything. You know. 149 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm so used to Philadelphia way of life, Sharon hillway like, 150 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: and then to move to California, which is uh a 151 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: lot a lot faster pace, I should say. They moved 152 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: so fast at the house in California, and I wasn't 153 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: used to that type of environment, even though I visited 154 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: every summer since I was nine eight to Cometon to 155 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: see my father, but just to actually live there, I 156 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: wasn't used to what they like. I had blue shoes on, 157 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, A little boy younger than me told me, 158 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: you gotta take them shoes off or like, what do 159 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: you mean? See? I was used to that in phil 160 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: In Philly, it was a different thing. So I never 161 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: got approached with anything like that because I didn't go 162 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: to that that type of environment. You know, my mama 163 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: kept me sheltered from that. I came live. She did it, 164 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: she did, And when I got to California, there was 165 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: no shelter. So I was around the streets young and old, 166 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: and that was pretty weird to me, Like, take off 167 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: my shoes. I ain't taking off nothing. Well, boy said, 168 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to my house and go get my 169 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: gun and shoot you. I said, ship. And then Philly, 170 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: you know, they was taking people shoes. So here we are. 171 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: We have this kid who is from Philly, moved to 172 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: l A when he was a teenager to be with 173 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: his dad, and he has an interesting take, an interesting style, 174 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: and interesting vibe. And so in my mind, am I like, 175 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: all right? So how you meet Snoop? How did the 176 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: evolution of what we now know as the Dog Pound begin? 177 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: And he tells a very interesting story of how it 178 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: was just a bunch of kids sitting around wrapping and 179 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: he met Snoop once and they had a battle and 180 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: Snoop said, if I make it, I'm gonna come get 181 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: you and vice versa. I saw she wrote yeah at 182 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: the roxy right, So Domino was performing, So all the 183 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: Long Beach came out to support Domino, and then, um, 184 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: we all all l A came with me. You know, 185 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: I grew up when I left off for him, when 186 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: my dad kicked me out and I was teaching me 187 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: how to be a man, said you wouldn't be out there, 188 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna do that. So I was living in the 189 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: neighborhood Chris shawn Slawson fifty nine over Tony Tobins. So, um, 190 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: all of the l A came out for me. So 191 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: you got Long Beach and you got Los Angeles all 192 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: in the same senate. So we all met up in 193 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: the parking lot after this after the show and Domino one. 194 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: So you know, Long Beach was feeling real, real dandy, 195 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: and so we started, you know, my sit to Diamond 196 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: was the kid because she was just talking a bunch 197 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: of ships partner and then you know, she basically you know, 198 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: it was like no corrupt is that? And third and 199 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: it was like, oh yeah, Bob. So we all started 200 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: a little rapsite and then Snoopy came from the crowd 201 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: and he was like okay. I mean I'm a bust 202 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: one and Dog was basically he buzzed. It was like 203 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: a battle and he was the only one that can 204 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: keep up with me. I'll tell you that much. Boy 205 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: he was. He was too good because he was so slick. 206 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he was just real slick. I was a 207 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: beast I had that. It was Delf to five fled, 208 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: I was about to Mike and Snoopy was just so cool. 209 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: But he rocked the crowd and then he was hitting 210 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: me with little wops and that's how we met, you 211 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And by the end of it, 212 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: we both said, whoever make it first, um, you know, 213 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: come get me. We both agreed. And then Dog one 214 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: he got with Dr Dre and he saw my sister 215 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: Diamond at a picnic and then he said, call Corrupt. 216 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe you remember my name. I think he said, 217 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: call your homeboy, what's your onboard name? Again? Diamond was 218 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: like Corrupt and he was like yeah, Ca And she 219 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: called me and like I'm here with Dr Dre and Snoop. 220 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: Remember Snoop. I was like Snoop from Long Beach. I said, okay, 221 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: and She's like, I'm here with him and Doctor Dre. 222 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, you're lying. She said, hold on, 223 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: Dr Dre want to say something to you, hey man, 224 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: Yeah right, and then yeah, what's up? What's up? Corrupt? 225 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: I was like, damn this Dr Dre, because this is 226 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: Dr Dre. What's some doctors? Right? Oh yeah you know? 227 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we have to pick like you coming through. Yeah, 228 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm on my way now. He said, all right, come up, 229 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: I said, but get that Dr Dre. I knew it. 230 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: So that's how we met. Uh, it was Roxy Roxy 231 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: And then I went to that picnic and Dog made 232 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: it like a year and a half, I think maybe 233 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: a year or two. A year and a half after 234 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: we first met, he made it and he kept his 235 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: promise to me, you know, he brought me in. So 236 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: a friendship was born. What I believe is a truly 237 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: dynamic duo. And the dog Pound was born, and just 238 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: Snoop in the dog Pound, it was a special that 239 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: was the time, and they still do it now, but 240 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: they don't do it like they did it like. So 241 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: you have to understand from me, the genesis starts with 242 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: easy and n w A and from that he we 243 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: got ice Cube and from that ice Q created Mac 244 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: ten and then from that we had Snoop from Dre. 245 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: Dre gave us a dog pound. UM. And when we 246 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: see how all of these artists were able to create 247 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: other artists and put other people on, we got some 248 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: great music. We really did. But unfortunately it was a 249 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: time in which and I don't even know if I 250 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: understand it, but it was a time in which it 251 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: became a battle. And I don't know why. I don't 252 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: know where the genesis of the East Coast versus West 253 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: Coast rat began. I do remember that. UM. I felt 254 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: like it was unnecessary when we lost two of the 255 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: greatest in pac as well as in Biggie UM. And 256 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: so I asked Corrupt about that, because I haven't really 257 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: got his take. He was there, he witnessed it. He 258 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: knew at least he was around Sugar and Dre and Snoop. 259 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: He knew Puff, he knew what was happening at the 260 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: Source Awards. He was there. And so I said, tell 261 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: me what you think happened. I've seen many a documentary 262 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: and many people talk about it, but if you can 263 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: give me your naked perspective, you know it's crazy that 264 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: you bring this up because I really, you know, I 265 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: have not had an opportunity to really talk to people 266 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: about it. When it comes to this thing we call 267 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: the East Coast West Coast War, which was really pumped 268 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: up through the media because it never was the East 269 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: Coast West Coast War. The wars were between individuals and 270 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: then the entire coast that they were from smashed and 271 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: pushed the line for their side. So this issue was 272 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: about Puffy and should Sugar Puffy. Puffy was a good 273 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: friend of me and Snoopy and the DPG so big, 274 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: and when Sugar said that, you know, we had to 275 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: ride with our squad and that that was the key. 276 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: So the East Coast West Coast War was really Sugar 277 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: and Puffies misunderstanding. Then the media pumped it up to that. 278 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: He did not say, y'all, they ain't got no love. 279 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: He asked the question, you ain't got no love for 280 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: Snoop dog and Dr Dre. You're telling me that East 281 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: Coast don't love us. We know where we act because 282 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: you'll ain't got no love for Snoop Doggy Dr Dre. 283 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: We'll give it up then, and they gave it up 284 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: cause he Snoop smoothed it out, and that's always been 285 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: the chance. That's always been the dog, because the dog 286 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: knows how to talk to the people. Because really, no 287 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: misunderstand Suke said what he said. He don't like Puffy, 288 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: but that's their issue because at the time, to be honest, 289 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: we did like me. He snooped the dog found, but 290 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: she had an issue, and these type of things happen. 291 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: You I let men be men can do their issue, 292 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: even if they're both your friends. So it wasn't for 293 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: us to get involved with. But dog was just like, 294 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, hey, man, this is not the East coast 295 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: West coast problem. This is not what she said that. Okay, 296 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: they'll talk, they'll figure it out, but y'all don't love us. 297 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: And that was real because we was in the East coast. 298 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: So we are still get home right. We still have 299 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: to get home right. But you don't. Ain't nothing gonna 300 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: get you home more than the reels. So dogs spoke 301 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: the reels, you know what I'm saying. So hey, you know, 302 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: if you talk to talk, you gotta walk the walk. 303 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: That's called life, that's the streets, and that's in anything 304 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: that you do. You you're manifested. It it might come 305 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: true so you'd be wary of what you manifested. And 306 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: it was a great loss for hip hop in general. 307 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: And I see a lot of New Yorkers people from 308 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: the East always talk about the Mecca and where it started, 309 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: not really respecting, loving, and knowing what that meccha created. 310 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: It's like a tree. The tree is, it grows, but 311 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: then the tree grows and have branches, so many branches 312 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: of hip hop, and you can't control those branches from growing. 313 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: They all have their different versions of what hip hop 314 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: means to them, which should be respected. And that was 315 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: the whole problem between everything. That was a problem was 316 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: no respect. You know, somebody disrespected somebody and not recognizing 317 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: that power that if they create this problem with that 318 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: person the whole John Drew will following. The knowledge is powerful, 319 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: so no one had that knowledge back then. Everybody looks 320 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: at it like they knew what they were doing, But 321 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: me personally, I don't believe anybody knew what they were 322 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: doing at the time. This was all new to all 323 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: of us. This success is fame and like the Spider 324 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: Man movie, with great power, of great responsibility, and I 325 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: don't think any of us knew that at that time 326 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: or right now, you know, and that's called your youth. 327 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: You were all young, so it's a learning experience that 328 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: we all had to pay for. Unfortunately, Biggie and and 329 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: Pop paid for it with their lives. Puffy paid for it, 330 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: should paid for it. We all paid for it, not 331 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: respecting that power that God gave through music. And I 332 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: think that's what makes it a little bit better nowadays. 333 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: Except for now the youngsters are fewing amongst each other. 334 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: They're a little bit different than we are because they're 335 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: more aggressive and more hands on. You know, then we 336 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: were back in the days because we had great teaching. 337 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what teaching they have nowadays, but we 338 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: had teachers in our days that I tell us to 339 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: chill out, kicked back, No, you don't want to do that, 340 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: and that's what kept us away from a lot of stuff. 341 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: And as soon as the teachers was gone, do you'll see, 342 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: we made a bunch of mistakes ourselves. So you know, 343 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: the reality is, you know, just like Philly giving me 344 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: my own streets, what a privilege, what honor? And you 345 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: know that's the hometown where I was born, and really 346 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: it was the suburbs of filling it with Sharon Hill 347 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: to five. That did that for me. It showed me 348 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: that love and that respect, and um, you know that's 349 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: the main thing to be missing why these problems happened 350 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: is the lack of respect. So you know, we're still 351 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: here and we made it, you know what I'm saying. 352 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: Sense And and it was very it was very life threatening. 353 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: Oh boy, all right, I gotta pay some bills as 354 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: we do. Uh, stick around because you don't want to 355 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: miss this story. Corrupt still here with us on naked. 356 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: Every champion and carry champion is to be a champion, 357 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: a champion and carry Chappion and carry Chappian. A champion 358 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: and carry Chappion and carry chappids and sports and entertaining 359 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: can make you work. Every champion and carry champion is 360 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: to be a champion, a champion. They carry Chappion and 361 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: they champion, They carry Champion, they carry Chappion, sports and 362 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: entertaining can. He's now a mature adult. He is still 363 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: a rapper though, but very grown. And why in so 364 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: many ways, Ricardo Emmanuel Brown, you know him as corrupt 365 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: here on Naked, So I appreciate him sharing what he 366 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: believes inspired and ultimately cause that battle. And it's sad 367 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's that the way 368 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: you look at it, no matter what, there's room for 369 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: everybody to eat. But in that and in all the 370 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: unfortunate outcomes, there was history that was made. In my opinion, 371 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: for me, Corrupt was a part of a movement um 372 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: and now that West Coast gangster rap movement, and it's 373 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: not even gangster rap, but that West Coast wrap, that feeling, 374 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: that sound is now being carried out by the likes 375 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: of Kendrick Lamar. May you rest in peace of Nipsey 376 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: Hustle like that that vibe that only you can get 377 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: from being somebody who grew up in the streets of 378 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: l a and let it translate to something that's beautiful 379 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: and hip hop is what we were able to witness 380 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: with the Dog Pound. And I asked Corrupt, I said, 381 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: how do you feel about being part of history? And 382 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: I say that because we saw what this year Super 383 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: Bowl was. While it was an ode to hip hop 384 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: and soul, it really was some sort of in my 385 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: opinion and acknowledgement of what West Coast rapp did for 386 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: hip hop in general. And it was beautiful. Y'all saw 387 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: them krip walking y'all saw them sea walking. It was beautiful, 388 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: and when you look back on it, you can then see, okay, 389 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: I was a part of history. So I asked, from 390 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: that perspective, do you realize that you were really part 391 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: of a movement? You know? To be honest, this I've 392 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: never understood it. I've I've learned through God. And there's 393 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: some things that's not meant to be understood and meant 394 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: to be lived, experienced, loved, and enjoyed. Because you're never 395 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: under you'll never understand it, especially when you live your dream, 396 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: when you have a dream and it comes true. I 397 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: learned something back in the days from a wise white man. 398 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: And the white man told me. This white man he 399 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: was an elder. Of course, he said, you never know 400 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: when you're making a history, because you're making it. You 401 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: never know, and that's why you make the mistakes that 402 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: you make. And he said, the key is when you 403 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: make these mistakes, and as you make his history, when 404 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: you realize that you're making history, and when you realize 405 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: your mistake, did you learn anything off of? If you 406 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: didn't learn anything off of, it was vain. If you 407 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: learned something off it's called growth. But what are you 408 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: gonna do now. So I took that ain't me gave 409 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: me and realized, now this is eight to ten years 410 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: after the history I made. Okay, so I'm like, wait 411 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: a minute, what's this ship gonna do for me? Now? 412 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: I should add this game when we was number one? 413 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying this? And then I realized that, 414 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: you know what, it never stops and you're gonna continue 415 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: to make history if your mind is right. Also, if 416 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: you have the right team, you know and what you learned, 417 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: you continue to make history. People will continue to support 418 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: you through your ups and you downs and tell you 419 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: the truth. I don't I've never understood it to this 420 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: day of how you know, people love love us so 421 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: much as many mistakes as we've all made, and they 422 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: still not only love us, but they appreciate our music. 423 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: And you know, I live my dream. And then I realized, 424 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm still living a dream every day 425 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: and God is the key to it all. Just to 426 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: be real, I don't want to sell corny, but it's 427 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: just it's just real. You know, God is the key 428 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: to it all. Faith and belief. You know, my mama 429 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: passed away ten years ago, going on eleven years next year, 430 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: and as she passed away, she's her teachings still remain 431 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: and me, those are the things I remember which keeps 432 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: me humble and hum ability is the key to any 433 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: success and longevity. And the new generation they'll learn that 434 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: if they can make it like we did. And as 435 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: we close with Corrupt, here's a moment for me where 436 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: I get giddy. I don't think he really understood what 437 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: a fan I was and what he meant to my 438 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: childhood in terms of just when I hear that music, 439 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: what it takes me back to, what it reminds me of, 440 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: how much fun I have, what kind of mindset I 441 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: immediately embrace while listen to Snoop and the dog Pounders, 442 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: the dog pound in general. And he in turn says 443 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: to me, which blows me away. You know he's a fan. 444 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, you're a fan of who me? What? I'm 445 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: a fan of you? And that I ask what's next? 446 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: Everyone thinks something is like when you be when you're 447 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: a rapper. It's almost like rappers aren't allowed to age 448 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: or evolve, and I disagree. I think you can steal 449 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: a rap. I think you can steal evolve. I think 450 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: you can also you can also still create music. It's 451 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: a different type of music, but you can still do that, 452 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: and that is exactly what he is doing so corrupt. 453 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on the show, and thank you 454 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: for the compliments.
