I was like, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:18.799 if it happened to happen, you know what I mean. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.919 And it took about a year before I saw Nas 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.040 and went to the studio and he was halfway through 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.079 Illmatic and I was just dead supporting, you know what 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.360 I mean, coming through showing love. And probably the last 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.880 song was Life's a Bitch and and l E. S 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.320 Was in there put it on and I'm in there vibbing. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.200 I'm like, I'm rapping, like yo, let me hear that. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.000 And I did it and I'm like the fuck out here, man, 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.800 you popping like you love? Right, already because I think 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.120 halftime was out. You know, for me, I'm not that 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.920 confident at the end of the day. So when I 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.320 did it, you know, the crew was in there, they 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.480 went crazy. I figured just you know, they're showing love. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:56.560 Was I'm there whatever. A week a week later, he 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.080 came back and said, yo, I turned the album. Men. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.000 I was like, world, uh, he's like, and I kept 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.440 life to bitch on it. I was like, oh, ship okay, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.440 but I still felt the ways. I'm like, you know, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.320 I ain't even like my voice at the time or whatever, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.560 right when you hear yourself for the first time. But 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.520 when it came out, motherfuckers went crazy. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.000 Yeah, it went crazy. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.360 And then wait, wait for it. From there, every label 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.880 came at me. Yeah, every label. But I was trying 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.279 to figure it out. Ian mindn't have a lot of 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.120 artists that they had Gang Star at the time, you know, 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.800 and gang Star, you know, they put their work in, 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.520 but I know it wasn't like klutted. So I wanted 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.240 to come over there and be like the nucleus of 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.640 what was going on. So I signed with them and 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.600 then you have it.

You hear the 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.000 stories of you know, even now telling me a situations 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.240 where he was signed. You know, you know what I 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.599 mean already, and then you hit through being in you 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.120 know life. You hear artists and they come and go. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.920 You want to kind of make the right decisions. But 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.160 the pressure probably came where I have to do album 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.439 now I got I only got a few verses. I 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.440 gotta write twelve songs, three versus per song. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.040 Little pressure right there for me, right and being branded 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.920 on the game. So I just had to do it. 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.520 Picked the right producers, right because here I am trying 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.680 to follow up with whatever already came out the gate, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.559 which was Illmatic. I got to follow up with that. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.439 Then you heard all the other artists for my era 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.360 coming out, So you know what I mean, a little pressure, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.640 little pressure, but I'm away from where I was right 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.400 from somewhere else. Now, I'm good, cool, I take that 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:27.920 pressure now? 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:28.480 Was it?

The concept was more or less mine's right. 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.760 Like say that to a phone sound talking on the phone. 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:53.399 You know what I mean. 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:57.560 But we always throw ideas back and forth in the studio, 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.160 you know what I mean. So it came out good 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.320 everything come on, good me him touched. It had come 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.080 out good old time all the time. 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.200 When you look at the Firm album, when you look 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:12.520 at you know, this was a collective force of individuals 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:13.359 that came together. 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.520 Do you did you understand what I was doing back then? No, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:20.480 I was trying and we were trying to. 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.640 That was that was that was a power move right there, 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:26.879 right because it was just an idea of trying to 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.000 make it happen. So with Dray being involved, you know, 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.600 track mess was hot as hell. Uh and and and 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:34.639 we had now on the album to it was crazy 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:40.520 yeah yeah Half yeah brother. 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:47.320 But so the thought was, okay, cool menas Fox cool right. 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:49.160 I wanted to Half. 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.280 I'm bringing Half to the table right because he was 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:55.480 just he was just lyrically mackling son. 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.639 I was like, okay, well, I'm being Mega. Mega just 0:21:57.680 --> 0:21:58.320 came home. 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:02.600 At the time. I'm trusting, you know, no judgment, which 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.560 is cool, you know what I mean? So we that's 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.879 the force to me? Is it actually really? Because I 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.800 think I think Half came after the fact, so me 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:16.440 nas Mega. And then somewhere along the line, you know, 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:20.119 the lines got blurred. It becomes I think it's business. Right, 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.560 It's not a it's not a talent thing. It becomes 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:24.239 a business thing. 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:24.479 Right. 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.800 This person signing, this management, this person is regularly these 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.239 people are in control of certain things. And and that's 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:32.680 why there's no firm too. 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.159 I mean, you seem like you cooler than the whistle man, 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:40.800 like well, like you seem like the other side of 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:41.240 the pillow. 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.840 But we all noticed this famous thing that happened, right. 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.840 I was actually in the studio when I don't know 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:49.760 what happened with with the Mega side, but I was 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:56.520 dead when nature actually did the freestyle and no one 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.640 asked him to do that. But you how did you feel, 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.440 because like because on one hand, you use guys working. 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.359 For cor Mega and it was like it was like 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.520 they switched it and now you've got to work with Nature. 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:09.520 Did you have a relationship with nature? How did that? 0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.600 I met Mega first, you know what I mean? Me 0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.360 and Me and Mega bond official, you know what I mean. 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:18.960 I met Nature after the fact, but I knew it 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.320 was it was it was a business move, right, but 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:23.920 it was out of my control to an extent. I 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.879 really couldn't right, right, it was like I had the 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:30.080 power to really I could. I gave my say so 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:33.800 to an extent, like what's going on? You know now 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:35.600 I know that you know he signed over here, he 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:37.600 signed over here, he don't want to sign gonna do that. 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.200 So it was that type of ship, right that I 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.359 think always take place when it when with a lot 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:46.280 of people involved. You know, I'm neutral with everything, right, 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:52.359 that's just me, right, But that was what I'm gonna do. 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.840 Like that's and that's some queen ship. That's that's some 0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:56.400 freend ship. 0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:59.680 I get it right, they're fuck around, fight, get back together. 0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:06.439 That's some real So. 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.520 The guys finally formed this group. Right, you go to 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.960 l A right, doctor Dre is involved, because was it 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:19.040 signed that doctor Dre or or it was a collective? 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:23.280 I think it was yeah, yeah, after mad fact. 0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:25.119 So you're getting the studio with doctor Dre. 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:28.760 Right, what is that like, that's a beautiful thing, that's right, right, 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:32.199 But it's on the heels of him believing death roll. 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.879 So it's still like there's a lot of ship going 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:36.320 on the time, and it was there. It's a lot 0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:39.400 of energy, right, energy was everything? Right now the energy 0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.639 is it's subtle, but back then the energy was very serious. 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:44.560 But it was good to fuck with Dre from his 0:24:45.520 --> 0:24:47.639 discography and the ship he put in it and then 0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:51.679 him and now was making that acquaintance.

But 1:24:34.720 --> 1:24:37.360 I think I got off the last label that I 1:24:37.520 --> 1:24:39.240 was on at that time, because I was on a 1:24:39.280 --> 1:24:42.080 couple of labels I was I was on and the 1:24:42.240 --> 1:24:45.240 version that I fuck with, Yeah, that's what Janet Jackson 1:24:45.400 --> 1:24:47.640 was was doing there right because they that was like 1:24:47.960 --> 1:24:50.120 the parent company to em out. So when they folded, 1:24:50.520 --> 1:24:51.680 then you know what I mean. Then I went to 1:24:51.800 --> 1:24:53.320 yab Young believe it or not, that was with a 1:24:53.360 --> 1:24:55.400 lecture for a minute. It was a quick minute. Nobody 1:24:55.400 --> 1:24:57.720 never knew because it was like, yeah, Young, that was 1:24:58.640 --> 1:25:02.120 Tracy Edmonds baby babyface, white baby baby face over there 1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:02.639 for a minute. 1:25:02.800 --> 1:25:03.360 That folded. 1:25:03.439 --> 1:25:06.479 So then then I was like, all right, what the fuck, man, 1:25:06.479 --> 1:25:08.800 I gotta do something. So I put that soul Side 1:25:08.960 --> 1:25:11.519 was on that soul Side joint. But then when I 1:25:11.640 --> 1:25:14.799 put it out, put that CD out, Motown heard it Motown? 1:25:14.840 --> 1:25:19.519 You fuck with Motown for a minute, and was you 1:25:19.680 --> 1:25:23.719 like the only rapper on Motown at that time? Ship 1:25:25.560 --> 1:25:27.120 That's where I fuck up something and I think, but 1:25:27.160 --> 1:25:27.800 then I don't bite. 1:25:27.840 --> 1:25:29.559 My thing is like a gamble, like I want to. 1:25:29.560 --> 1:25:32.360 Be the nucleus where you know if you're on a label, 1:25:32.400 --> 1:25:33.960 I'm the only artist you'll saw all that love, and 1:25:34.040 --> 1:25:35.760 then from there I can open up doors for other 1:25:35.840 --> 1:25:38.240 artists to come. That's my mindset for with my all 1:25:38.280 --> 1:25:40.439 the legals that fuck with. It's kind of where why 1:25:40.439 --> 1:25:43.200 do you think about it Motown? But because I know 1:25:43.240 --> 1:25:46.040 if it worked there, then that could open the floodgates 1:25:46.080 --> 1:25:48.000 for other artists and then they can know that, you know, 1:25:48.040 --> 1:25:49.200 the hip hop worked there. 1:25:49.280 --> 1:25:52.559 But that's when neo soul hit at the time. 1:25:52.640 --> 1:25:54.960 Same time I was fucking Motown, they put out you know, 1:25:55.160 --> 1:25:59.240 Ragaba Duo and the other I forgot a name, but 1:25:59.320 --> 1:26:07.400 anyway in the dir and I was there and and 1:26:07.439 --> 1:26:08.800 it's like, all right, let's give it another shot. And 1:26:08.840 --> 1:26:10.960 I did the other album. They had the album and 1:26:11.200 --> 1:26:13.400 then that didn't work. So that's when I was like, 1:26:13.439 --> 1:26:16.400 I keep it moving, Yeah, kept it moving. 1:26:16.479 --> 1:26:18.720 So so to say more or less, I was more 1:26:18.800 --> 1:26:19.280 or less like. 1:26:21.080 --> 1:26:23.920 It's like a thinka the streets, but ain't got no family, right, 1:26:24.000 --> 1:26:26.200 He's moving around trying to figure it out a pose 1:26:26.280 --> 1:26:28.080 with somebody got a mother fuck. Because a lot of 1:26:28.120 --> 1:26:31.640 the artists signed one label, they rocked through the contractors up. 1:26:32.200 --> 1:26:34.439 If you think about it or to their transition something else. 1:26:34.439 --> 1:26:37.080 But it invades them, you know what I mean. So 1:26:39.000 --> 1:26:41.240 keep it moving, To keep it moving and keep it 1:26:41.320 --> 1:26:43.080 going was a great thing for me, right because the 1:26:43.120 --> 1:26:44.840 avenue from the man hanging on time for the ship. 1:26:44.920 --> 1:26:46.559 Fuck it, you know, do whatever. 1:26:47.800 --> 1:26:49.400 But yeah, I kept it going though, But he kept 1:26:49.520 --> 1:26:51.840 but he kept the newest car every time he pulls 1:26:51.920 --> 1:26:52.719 up to the crib. 1:26:53.360 --> 1:26:59.240 Didn't matter, didn't matter the fact you can walk got 1:26:59.320 --> 1:27:02.680 clean too, independent or major.

He was like, are you ready? 1:50:53.720 --> 1:50:58.240 Because I know him since ninety five and ninety five, 1:50:58.320 --> 1:51:03.400 I know drunk. He called me, called me, he called 1:51:03.479 --> 1:51:04.840 me d O. 1:51:05.040 --> 1:51:07.519 Was a connection, d O Damien. He's a connection. 1:51:08.200 --> 1:51:14.200 But yeah, that's not underestimate how legendary Duop is. The era, 1:51:14.520 --> 1:51:17.519 the era of mixtape DJs that comes from him and 1:51:17.600 --> 1:51:20.920 his his caliber of of mixtape DJ and just DJ 1:51:21.040 --> 1:51:25.120 in general. Like the era the mixtape DJ was controlling 1:51:25.200 --> 1:51:29.360 everything because commercial radio at least across the nation wasn't 1:51:29.400 --> 1:51:33.600 doing it. Like all the labels had to adhere to 1:51:33.720 --> 1:51:37.280 the mixtape DJs and they were given him and me. 1:51:37.400 --> 1:51:39.560 I was in Miami doing it, but he was. He 1:51:39.720 --> 1:51:40.720 was the one I was looking up to. 1:51:41.240 --> 1:51:45.320 They were giving us unprecedented access to artists, to music 1:51:45.520 --> 1:51:46.840 because they needed us. 1:51:47.439 --> 1:51:50.360 That was the first bootleggers. No, man, I don't think. 1:51:51.240 --> 1:51:56.439 I was like, you know what, but you know what 1:51:56.560 --> 1:51:58.719 they're like, like, I'm gonna give you an example. 1:51:59.640 --> 1:52:04.559 The album Charis worked for Sony right right, Columbia whatever. 1:52:04.560 --> 1:52:08.280 It was, no hold on, hold on. She would call me. 1:52:08.520 --> 1:52:10.800 She called me one day and was like, I'm gonna 1:52:10.800 --> 1:52:12.880 give you Street Dreams NASR. 1:52:13.040 --> 1:52:15.560 I'm gonna give Flex rule the world because that's the 1:52:15.840 --> 1:52:19.440 that's what they were doing. They were doing that ship something. 1:52:20.800 --> 1:52:25.760 They're the ones doing the bootlegging. I didn't rely I 1:52:25.800 --> 1:52:28.840 didn't rely on that on that. I'm gonna tell you 1:52:28.880 --> 1:52:29.080 you know. 1:52:29.200 --> 1:52:31.320 This is why I have offense to the bootlegging team, 1:52:31.360 --> 1:52:34.360 because mixtapes is a huge part of the culture, absolutely, 1:52:34.720 --> 1:52:36.920 and this is the part where where we're getting all 1:52:36.960 --> 1:52:39.479 of us by the industry, the mainstream industry, they don't 1:52:39.479 --> 1:52:40.320 give a funk about hip hop. 1:52:41.280 --> 1:52:42.759 Those A and rs and those. 1:52:42.680 --> 1:52:46.320 Marketing come those marketing executives were like, we need these 1:52:46.360 --> 1:52:46.920 mixtape guys. 1:52:46.920 --> 1:52:49.280 We're gonna give them these exclusives, these leaks. We're gonna lead. 1:52:49.200 --> 1:52:51.519 Them, and then they would leak the records to us, 1:52:51.600 --> 1:52:53.880 and then we would get ceased and desist and get 1:52:54.000 --> 1:52:59.280 sued lawyers trying to funk us up. Same mother label 1:53:00.200 --> 1:53:05.200 man out of here with that ship. You know what, 1:53:05.240 --> 1:53:07.520 I'm sorry you got those seasons. This is too absolutely 1:53:07.640 --> 1:53:08.240 I know you did. 1:53:08.479 --> 1:53:11.520 But that's why I kind of didn't rely on exclusives. 1:53:11.880 --> 1:53:15.240 I did that. I had rappers coming to the studio 1:53:16.120 --> 1:53:19.640 to do like exclusives for me, and we had all 1:53:22.080 --> 1:53:23.439 well the only thing is we were doing it over 1:53:23.760 --> 1:53:27.080 other people's beats, so that yeah, but that was later 1:53:27.160 --> 1:53:27.559 on that. 1:53:29.080 --> 1:53:32.479 But is this form of true that as from paid 1:53:32.520 --> 1:53:34.840 and for whatever sues you or tried to sue you. 1:53:34.960 --> 1:53:36.800 He probably did, I don't know. It wasn't me, but 1:53:37.240 --> 1:53:40.840 probably record label. I don't know. I'm sure if he did, 1:53:40.920 --> 1:53:41.599 an't get much. 1:53:41.720 --> 1:53:44.240 I don't know. You're gonna be honest, but he said 1:53:44.280 --> 1:53:44.519 that of it. 1:53:44.600 --> 1:53:46.360 He tried, He tried. 1:53:47.520 --> 1:53:53.360 They don't have no relationship relationship. I mean he spoke about, Yeah, 1:53:53.560 --> 1:53:55.840 I'm seeing them. We dialogue. I mean, sue me. 1:53:58.479 --> 1:54:00.880 Your mom. I'm sure whatever you got good Man for. 1:54:01.240 --> 1:54:03.240 I mean, you know, it's it's a system, you know 1:54:03.280 --> 1:54:04.880 what I mean. If you found the loophole and it 1:54:05.040 --> 1:54:07.960 enjoy But as I said before, I would never you 1:54:08.080 --> 1:54:10.920 said and you said earlier, like you said that that 1:54:11.120 --> 1:54:15.920 name wasn't come. It don't even make sense. But if 1:54:15.920 --> 1:54:18.439 it's loophole and you see loophole, I can fall in 1:54:18.479 --> 1:54:20.479 here like oh I'm yeah a loophole. 1:54:20.520 --> 1:54:23.320 I ain't hurt myself loophole. But it was cool. 1:54:23.360 --> 1:54:25.400 I mean it's oh ship, you know what I mean. 1:54:25.520 --> 1:54:27.280 It's like suing the insurance company. 1:54:29.920 --> 1:54:32.040 Soe me, you're gonna smoke nothing. 1:54:39.000 --> 1:54:41.360 You don't even I don't even dream like that, but drink. 1:54:41.440 --> 1:54:43.400 So you got sam. 1:54:45.680 --> 1:54:46.000 M hm. 1:54:47.680 --> 1:54:50.000 He's a class act.
