Now it was me on an executive level 249 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: where Loud Records told me, yo, you get a budget right. Finance, 250 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: what's the name of your shit. Let's let's get this 251 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: going right. So you get a budget right. And when 252 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 2: you're growing up, we ain't have ship from the projects. 253 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 2: We ain't got nothing. So when you become a rapper, 254 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: some white dudes are giving you a million and a 255 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: half dollars, You're like, fuck that, we tricking this shit off. 256 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 2: We ain't got no sense of a budget. But there 257 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: really is a budget, right. So when they gave us 258 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: the budget, Pun had passed, but he had made that 259 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: that record one hundred percent. What you're talking to. Steve Rifkin, 260 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: the radio team, the video team, everybody told me this 261 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: record was like Yo, there is no Puerto Ricans in Memphis, Tennessee. 262 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: There's no Puerto Ricans in Atlanta, Georgia. Is like people 263 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: do not other than New York got Puerto Ricans, you ain't, 264 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 2: you know? So they I knew it wasn't gonna blow. 265 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: I knew it wasn't going to be like a still 266 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: not a player. I knew it wasn't. But I still 267 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: spent the half a million dollars on the video. I 268 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: still spent the money on the video and the radio. 269 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: And that was just simply because I knew we would 270 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: be talking about this twenty years later. It was groundbreaking, 271 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: and I knew pun was the biggest hero for latinos 272 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 2: and hip hop and we had to send them off 273 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: that way. So I spent that money knowing I wasn't 274 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: getting that money back. But I did it for, like, 275 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: you know, a legacy and culture and shit like that. 276 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 4: I still don't. I'll be trying to say the course 277 00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 4: every time, but I know, remember that the executive side, 278 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: because you're an artist first, right, Who are you looking 279 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 4: to for guidance at this point? 280 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: Is it like Russell Simmons at the time? Is it 281 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: puff Who's giving nobody gave me nothing nobody and that 282 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: was cool with puff. I actually knew puff Daddy when 283 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: he had a sea through chain. So puff Daddy is 284 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: probably my motivation because I've never looked at nobody through 285 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: a jealous lands. I've always looked at people with inspiration. 286 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: So if it came to marow I do a podcast. 287 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if we call this podcast whatever we 288 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: want to call it, right, So I do the big 289 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: big show.

And that's how I've always looked at everything. 294 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: So pop Daddy used to run up on me. You know, 295 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: I sold drugs be for a rat and so with me, 296 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: Puff Daddy used to chase me and my beams and 297 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: benzes and I got ice on and I'm looking like 298 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 2: this and he's like, yo, old crack, what's up next?

Uh, puff Daddy took everything 302 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: that we thought was fun and it was always business. 303 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: So puff Daddy had throw a party and we like 304 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: getting drunk and thinking we having fun.

Right, 1213 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 2: So now that the tour money now becomes sponsor money. 1214 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:33,959 Speaker 2: In the yeah, I might have made as much money. 1215 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 2: Maybe perhaps perhaps perhaps I might as I might as 1216 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 2: equal to my tour money without tourings and home just 1217 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 2: doing like the big, big show, and that has letter 1218 01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 2: to other things. You know, we Trilla, Wi Wild, Cherry 1219 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:02,760 Speaker 2: Pepsi Talent show, you know, just led into all this. 1220 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 2: Like you know, people are like, oh, social media, you 1221 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So a bunch of a bunch 1222 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:09,919 Speaker 2: of bads. 1223 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,760 Speaker 4: And the people that watch you, now it's not like, Yo, 1224 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 4: they know you from music, they know you from this. 1225 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 4: It's like, this is the personality, this is a show. 1226 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 2: And there was always a big injustice, you know, to 1227 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 2: the fans because when I grew up, like you see 1228 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,160 Speaker 2: in my lifestyle, I said, back then when I wentn't 1229 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 2: even posed for pictures, you know what. I many times 1230 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:37,760 Speaker 2: I've been next to Tupot Biggie and it was like 1231 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 2: the wax ship to ask for a pick, like and show. 1232 01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:45,640 Speaker 2: Everything at that time was about privacy. I would literally 1233 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 2: come if I came in here years ago and they 1234 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 2: was having an advance, I was staying in the corner 1235 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,360 Speaker 2: because I didn't know y'all. Y'all would be like, yo, 1236 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 2: that's one motherfucker, and I would just sit there and 1237 01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 2: just be like they. It didn't allow us to be 1238 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 2: our true personality. And as she just went by and 1239 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 2: through social media, everybody could open up and do a 1240 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,439 Speaker 2: little something. You know how many people just heard my music, 1241 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 2: but now they see the show and be like, damn, 1242 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 2: I ain't noticed, dude, that's you're crazy. Man. Do it 1243 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,680 Speaker 2: for a minute, Yeah, it's so. And so it allows 1244 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 2: me to show you my real personality. 1245 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 5: Before we ended. I want I want to go on 1246 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,959 Speaker 5: a teachable moment. That's a finance moment. It's an unfortunate moment, 1247 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 5: but I think people can learn from it. When you 1248 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 5: went to jail for a couple of months, and from 1249 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 5: my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, that's that's financial 1250 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 5: related because I guess your CPA wasn't paying the taxi. 1251 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 2: It was the one time I didn't do the crime. 1252 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,000 Speaker 2: I've done many crimes want me to do. I'm not 1253 01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 2: gonna lie to you. That's the one time I did 1254 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 2: not do the crime. It's the craziest ship in the world. 1255 01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 3: What exactly happened. 1256 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 2: I had an accountant. Every month, I'm sending them wire transfers, well, 1257 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 2: wire transfers from your bank account to them is a 1258 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 2: paper traip. I'm sending them money to pay my taxes 1259 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:15,720 Speaker 2: and everything every month, you know, twenty five thousand, big money. 1260 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,040 Speaker 2: And one day I go to buy a car, and 1261 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 2: so I was more embarrassed than anything. So that the 1262 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,439 Speaker 2: guy from the car dealer was like, are you sitting down? 1263 01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,280 Speaker 2: And I'm la. Says here, you haven't paid for none 1264 01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 2: of your houses, your mortgages, says here, you haven't paid 1265 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 2: none of your car notes. Says here. I'm like, are 1266 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 2: you crazy? Like are you nuts? So I call up 1267 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 2: the account. When I called him up, he said, don't 1268 01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,360 Speaker 2: kill me. Don't kill me. I said, I'll never threatened you, bro, 1269 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 2: don't kill me, I said, bro, I send you wire 1270 01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:53,160 Speaker 2: transfers every month. It's saying you ain't paying my shit, 1271 01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 2: like are you fucking serious? Like boom. So from that 1272 01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 2: point had to go. I called Pitbull. Pit Bull gave 1273 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 2: me his account right around here. Who's still my account 1274 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 2: to this day. When it went there, it was like 1275 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,920 Speaker 2: this is bad, Joe. This man they pay you your 1276 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 2: taxes in two years. And so, uh, we contacted the 1277 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:20,280 Speaker 2: IRS and told them, yo, we have an accountant. We 1278 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,639 Speaker 2: got to proof the wire transfers. You know, we want 1279 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 2: to pay up to date when we alarmed them. And 1280 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 2: so the next day it came to my house. I 1281 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 2: was in the studio with court train and my wife 1282 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,280 Speaker 2: calls me a nervous She's like, Joe, the feds are here, 1283 01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,720 Speaker 2: Like the feds. You know, I don't know what they 1284 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 2: so like the Feds. I was like, Yo, put them 1285 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 2: on the phone. So the guy gets on the phone. Joe, 1286 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 2: where you at? I said, what you mean? Like, yeah, 1287 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:49,960 Speaker 2: we want to talk to you.

You know these the taxes. 1289 01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,600 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, you know we contacted you. 1290 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:58,560 Speaker 2: You know my account, we contacted you. He's like, no, 1291 01:08:58,680 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 2: this is criminals. 1292 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 3: So now I'm know stop talking. 1293 01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 2: Once he said it scriminal, I was like, yo, I said, 1294 01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm officer. I'm gonna have lawyer call you. 1295 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 2: Right after this, he was like, bo where you said? Bro? 1296 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 2: You in my house, Bro and my family. I can't 1297 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 2: go nowhere. In fact, Joe and famous, my lawyer'll call you. 1298 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,840 Speaker 2: So my lawyer called them. Long story short, my lawyer 1299 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,960 Speaker 2: met with them and showed them the wider chances of 1300 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 2: the guy Robbie and didn't pay my ship. And they 1301 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 2: was like, hey man, we believe Joe as the leader 1302 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 2: of his household. It's responsible for who he hires. And 1303 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 2: so instead of trying to really rock him, we're gonna 1304 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 2: give him two misdemeanors and he can get two years 1305 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 2: in jail or get probation, pressing luck. So I wound 1306 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 2: up having already gave this dude the money to pay. 1307 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 2: So I wound up paying these taxes again that already 1308 01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:59,639 Speaker 2: paid before my court day. So I wound up paying 1309 01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,160 Speaker 2: a million in two hundred thousand before I go see 1310 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:07,000 Speaker 2: the judge. So now I know other people had these problems. 1311 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,400 Speaker 2: They only got probation and never went to jail or whatever. 1312 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,640 Speaker 2: So with the greatest letters you ever heard of your 1313 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:16,560 Speaker 2: life with the Feds, you won't vouch for him in 1314 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 2: the FEDS. You won't if you knew he was guilty. 1315 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,480 Speaker 2: You'd be like, yo, bro, you with the sheeps, nobody 1316 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 2: writes a letter for nobody in the Feds.
