Speaker 3: It's never gonna be the same, it's always gonna be different.
Speaker 3: And then it's more, it's more for the youth. It's
Speaker 3: not about what you came up on. It's not what
Speaker 3: I came up on. Facts, it's not. It's gonna it's
Speaker 3: gonna transcend to what these kids like, just like they
Speaker 3: gonna gravitate to whatever drops Friday until Monday. Then from
Speaker 3: Monday they on to somebody else. Because nobody's really stick.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, that there's nobody that's really
Speaker 3: getting you music that lasts longer than than the weekend.
Speaker 1: I think, because do you think?
Speaker 2: I think because it's no movement it's nothing to associate
Speaker 2: yourself with, like like I'm part of your Yeah, Like
Speaker 2: back then, like you know, you knew you had your
Speaker 2: cash money Riders, you had your rough Riders, you had
Speaker 2: your Murder Inc. You had your g Unit, your Rockefeller representatives.
Speaker 2: Like even back in the day, you had people that
Speaker 2: represent Kane and people that represented rock Cam.
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't just all one.
Speaker 2: Today is just just a melting pot of fans and
Speaker 2: they just digest everything every day and.
Speaker 3: Goes through streaming and YouTube, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So they don't have a they can they can scroll
Speaker 3: and find somebody today that's good for the weekend, and
Speaker 3: then they'll come back and scroll another day.
Speaker 1: And find somebody else that's a fact, and then and
Speaker 1: they'll move on to that.
Speaker 2: What you feel about the DJ, I feel like me
Speaker 2: and my aspect, I think the DJ has become bigger
Speaker 2: than the artists.
Speaker 3: A lot of DJs have a lot of DJs definitely
Speaker 3: have bigger brands and bigger reasons to do things. But
Speaker 3: I feel also when it comes to radio, your handcuff,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean. Fact, Like you're not able to say
Speaker 1: I got a new artist and I can just pray this. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like at the time when I was doing like New Radio,
Speaker 3: I was able.
Speaker 1: To break off.
Speaker 3: Today you handcuffed the hit that like, not even able
Speaker 3: to say I could break this artist and do that
Speaker 3: and not even a serious like them. DJs is even
Speaker 3: handcuffed now. I remember when Sirius played everything. Now would
Speaker 3: sounds like it's just becoming the same thing that you
Speaker 3: know they get. They get a little leeway on certain
Speaker 3: state on shape for five, they didn't get more leeway,
Speaker 3: but you.
Speaker 1: Know it's it's tough. And also.
Speaker 3: DJs, the things that I really you don't like is
Speaker 3: that DJs don't even take chances in club. No talk
Speaker 3: about it club all right, let's say we don't all
Speaker 3: do radio. Let's say we don't all have the opportunity.
Speaker 3: I feel that a DJ can still break an artist
Speaker 3: in the club on the street. That's a fact. They
Speaker 3: ain't handcuffing. You believe in the artist, You could still
Speaker 3: play that artist, that's right. It's your call to make
Speaker 3: that artist hot. Yep, that's a fact. And I know
Speaker 3: I could still do that. Yeah, man, that's crazy now
Speaker 3: that you put it that way. I never thought about
Speaker 3: it that way. But yeah, like DJs that go from
Speaker 3: the radio and still wear the handcuffs to the club
Speaker 3: is insane. I broke a lot of artists, like I'm
Speaker 3: just saying, I came from New York to go to
Speaker 3: Boston to do radio.
Speaker 1: I remember you was doing radio. Boss was out there.
Speaker 3: I was breaking man artists, Hell yeah, artists and and
Speaker 3: and I didn't have a problem playing songs that I
Speaker 3: knew that I believed in. And I just feel cats
Speaker 3: don't have that no more.
Speaker 1: Nope.
Speaker 2: And that's why confident on certain records. And that's why
Speaker 2: I think a lot of DJ's pivoted to EDM. Is
Speaker 2: them bags that they getting them DM DJs just don't
Speaker 2: make no sense. These niggas is getting football contract numbers.
Speaker 2: What's my man named danger Mouse. I'm about to put
Speaker 2: on a helmet too, Like I'm about to put on
Speaker 2: a mask and hit the road and be like fuck it,
Speaker 2: push the button, let's go. Because these niggas doing one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand cedars festivals and getting two hundred
Speaker 2: my geeta spend for an hour two hours a rapper
Speaker 2: ain't never getting unless you hold Drake fucking snoop.
Speaker 3: I don't think Snoop getting two honey. I love Snoop.
Speaker 3: Snoop might be getting a buck.
Speaker 2: A buck fifty two hundred might only beyond say Snoop
Speaker 2: getting two honey. See, put some respect on Snoop. They
Speaker 2: said Snoop in two honey, Snoop. I owe you out
Speaker 2: for that, my bad fucked up.
Speaker 1: I owe you a ze.

Speaker 1: going into countries.
Speaker 2: You know who are sleeper nigga doing countries too. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna put two sleepers that's out there doing countries. That's
Speaker 2: like under the radar, number one Tiger. Yeah, I can
Speaker 2: be fucking everywhere. You will look up and be like,
Speaker 2: where the fuck is this? Things in India? How and Jairou.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, jall be everywhere too much like they be out.
Speaker 2: I don't really do this too much, but you are pioneer,
Speaker 2: so I gotta ask you. We're gonna go top five
Speaker 2: DJs and top five rappers and not. They don't gotta
Speaker 2: be East Coast, they don't gotta be all New Yorker.
Speaker 2: Be whatever you feel. But you being a pioneer and
Speaker 2: seeing where the games came. We celebrated thirty thirty years.
Speaker 1: Bro, do you fu? People?
Speaker 3: People are gonna be like, I'm very biased, but that's cool.
Speaker 3: That's all good for me. I'm gonna go with the
Speaker 3: rappers first. Jay Z is definitely my number one rapper.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't care what anybody say because I've
Speaker 3: seen it from from the beginning. Yeah you saw you
Speaker 3: was sure from where it started to where it's at.
Speaker 3: The demos that I've heard and I believed in them
Speaker 3: when people were saying, nah, that's right, you don't see
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And to this day, number one rapp
Speaker 3: hands down. I agree, and that I'm gonna go with
Speaker 3: rock Kim af did that. I'm going with Kine after,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Slick Rick and then after that,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to say fifty cent. Oh you put
Speaker 3: fifty on the top just because the mixtapes up about
Speaker 3: circus how he built his ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not mad. He went from the ground
Speaker 2: up too. I'm not mad, but a lot I never
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of people never put fifth on
Speaker 2: the top five.
Speaker 1: I get it for what they do.
Speaker 3: They look at certain balls and stuff, but I look
Speaker 3: at the work ethics, okay, and how you got there.
Speaker 2: That's dope about how hole, rock Kim, King, Slick Rick
Speaker 2: and fifty that's a solid five. That's a solid five
Speaker 2: because Caine and Rock Kim. I feel like people tried
Speaker 2: to do to them what they did to Lulu, Wayne
Speaker 2: and t I like which one you fuck with? Where
Speaker 2: they both as great at what they do, but they
Speaker 2: tried to make you choose which one. And I feel
Speaker 2: like they they did that with Kane and rock Him.
Speaker 2: But they man ship all right.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: DJ Now DJing is gonna be another bias situation because
Speaker 3: Claude Cane is number y fall one of the greatest
Speaker 3: DJs I've met.
Speaker 1: That's right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Then people that influenced me and got me into where

Speaker 1: I heard the rumor that Tone was supposed to spit
Speaker 1: the second verse. I ain't know about that, but I
Speaker 1: was going to do those libs. You lie. I did
Speaker 1: the ad libs. I went in the studio. Niggas kicked me.
Speaker 3: Out, Jill, Why didn't kick you out the stud bro

Speaker 2: you still you still see him?
Speaker 3: I never seen I haven't seen him, but I spoken
Speaker 3: to him, Yo.
Speaker 1: I never seen him again. Man like that nigga leaked something.
Speaker 3: They got him and called J. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 3: what Jay told me. So he was like, yo, call
Speaker 3: J tell him bring the stuff whatever, right, and then
Speaker 3: Jay said stay out of each other. And I said,
Speaker 3: all right, I told you later.
Speaker 1: Yo, listen, listen just how it really was, so yo.
Speaker 3: One thing Hove didn't play about is his music and

Speaker 1: I had no idea. He produced Cannot Get Open, that
Speaker 1: beat his classic.
Speaker 3: He produced the whole album. We didn't have nobody side
Speaker 3: besides Clark, the Clark joint that Clark did, but everything
Speaker 3: else was Ski. Damn, that's crazy Ski for Jay that
Speaker 3: he did for j and then they just erased those beats.
