Speaker 1: we gonna get stuff kicked off. And we kind of
Speaker 1: had a little bit of controversy already, you know what

Speaker 1: keep a gangster exactly. We're gonna do what we gotta do.
Speaker 1: You know, new podcast. You know we're gonna try to
Speaker 1: bring all kind of elements to the table. You know,
Speaker 1: I know people you know wondering about the Gangster Chronicles.
Speaker 1: You know, uh, we're still on that, you know, shout
Speaker 1: out to my boy James. We still got that rolling.
Speaker 1: But we want to bring something different to the table.
Speaker 1: You know, the whole wide world of spectrum. You know,
Speaker 1: not just about the Street Tales or whatever, but you
Speaker 1: know interest that you know different people might want to have,
Speaker 1: you know, as far as you know the Street Tales music,
Speaker 1: you know, move vs. Uh, all types of genres here.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, so and bringing you know,
Speaker 1: our boys soaring Baker Man journalistic extraordinary. Yes, yes, I'm
Speaker 1: glad to be here man author, I know eight since
Speaker 1: the nineties and still know from I guess close to
Speaker 1: a decade now. So I'm glad to be part of
Speaker 1: the team. Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. Man. You
Speaker 1: know one thing we was gonna talk about, and I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a definitive answer to this, we said
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the top three gainst the rap albums
Speaker 1: of all time, Street albums of all time. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard, bro. I think it's making five. We could
Speaker 1: go to fire, you can get you canna do your
Speaker 1: top five or whatever. You know what I'm saying. Uh,
Speaker 1: And this is like, you know, this is our personal opinions.
Speaker 1: So you know it might be something different that you
Speaker 1: might see, but this is coming from the spectrum of
Speaker 1: what we have experienced over these decades of being involved
Speaker 1: in hip hop and music, and so we just want
Speaker 1: to get it. Uh, you know our outlook. Everybody puts
Speaker 1: up their top five, top ten's, top fifties, whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: some people might be on there that you might not like.
Speaker 1: Some people might you know, So this is just our
Speaker 1: general intake of what we feel is, are you know,
Speaker 1: uh addition to that you feel me? Yeah? For sure?
Speaker 1: So who gonna kick it off first? Who gonna kick
Speaker 1: off the top five? One? You go? Still ship man,
Speaker 1: y'all just put me on the hot seat, right it seat.
Speaker 1: You just met to tell what you what you think
Speaker 1: your preference from when the day you started listening to
Speaker 1: hip hop or gangster music or whatever. We'll keep it
Speaker 1: in that, and then you started listening to the street music.
Speaker 1: You know, what do you feel up to? Now? Is
Speaker 1: your top five in street related tales? All right, here
Speaker 1: we go, And this is in no particular order. I
Speaker 1: cube America's most wanted music to drive by those boys
Speaker 1: gripping on another level, funck man, This is are iced
Speaker 1: T six's Ryan Pays, I gotta land see. This is
Speaker 1: fucking tough man. This is fucking tough man. M scar
Speaker 1: Face And this is what I'm had the problem because
Speaker 1: I already got to get a boys in there, but
Speaker 1: don got scar Face in there too for Last of
Speaker 1: a Dying Breeze. Yeah, and I and I explained each
Speaker 1: one of my picks. If if I can I think
Speaker 1: for me with America's most wanted for where we use
Speaker 1: at in the country at the time, because that was
Speaker 1: when conscious rap was real big. You know, everybody was
Speaker 1: walking around with the medallions on and everything. You remember,
Speaker 1: you'll remember that era right where everybody's walking around with
Speaker 1: the American you know, but the African medallions on everything
Speaker 1: like that. I think you bought that same energy. It
Speaker 1: was with a twist. It was like from a hood perspective. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think two men growing up in Maryland, Yes, But
Speaker 1: I think for us one of the biggest things I
Speaker 1: remember me and my friends talking about was we all
Speaker 1: knew all the rappers in the n w A were
Speaker 1: phenomenal artists, but we didn't understand that Cube was that good.
Speaker 1: So for us, for us, it was the streets talking
Speaker 1: of like, yo, do you hear Ice Cube and he's like,
Speaker 1: fuck you Ice Cube. We were like what does he say?
Speaker 1: Like this is crazy and we had no idea that
Speaker 1: he was that good because Rand killed Straight Compton, you know,
Speaker 1: Dre was incredible on Straight Compton. They brought so much
Speaker 1: too easy does it and w ain't Aposse. It wasn't
Speaker 1: just because of Cube, it was all of them. So
Speaker 1: we just didn't for us. We didn't understand that significance
Speaker 1: in Maryland, and I just I'll never forget you know,
Speaker 1: the brother you love to hate kicking off the album,
Speaker 1: and my boy, one of my boys, just kept being like,
Speaker 1: I can't believe he said cue because we didn't know
Speaker 1: the inner workings and why he left. We just do
Speaker 1: he left and he had beef, but we didn't know
Speaker 1: what it was. And I was just mind blowing to
Speaker 1: all of us. Everyone that listened to the album loved it.
Speaker 1: We were just thrown off. Man. It was crazy and
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, That's what it was with me.
Speaker 1: And plus he was fresh off the heels, like you said,
Speaker 1: of leaving n w A yeah, and it was like
Speaker 1: you wanted to see what he was gonna say and
Speaker 1: what it was. And I just remember riding down the
Speaker 1: street and Cleveland listening to that whole album. Same thing
Speaker 1: with Music to drive By. Music to Drive By just
Speaker 1: really just took me to a different place. And I
Speaker 1: think because Eight's background sonically was so different, you know,
Speaker 1: from the West Coast during that time, he was hearing
Speaker 1: a lot of fun you feel what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: I always like to tell people that aid is almost
Speaker 1: like the Isaac Hayes against the Wrap to me, yeah,
Speaker 1: you feel what I'm saying, he's the I said, he
Speaker 1: it's against the rep And it was kind of just
Speaker 1: like it didn't. That's when it was like with me
Speaker 1: because if I'm correct me if I'm wrong, that was
Speaker 1: the Compass Most Wanted the album. It wasn't an m
Speaker 1: C eight album, but eight was the only dude on
Speaker 1: their repping, and that was Scarface Starface and it was
Speaker 1: kind of like, Okay, where are the other dudes? That
Speaker 1: is that his name to Compass Most Wanted? Well, you know, um,
Speaker 1: well we started back you know, see if w it
Speaker 1: was me Chill you know, uh cat name and um
Speaker 1: you just do a little you know, trying to do
Speaker 1: a little demo tape. You know, I was whatever. But
Speaker 1: as they went on, um, you know, Chill you know
Speaker 1: had the kind of couple runnings you know with the
Speaker 1: with the boys. Um, so he had to go do
Speaker 1: some time. That's for um. I just continued on instead
Speaker 1: of going a solo artist at the time, I just
Speaker 1: kept on with the Counten's Most Wanted name, even though
Speaker 1: it was just me Rhynman. On the next three projects,
Speaker 1: I just kept to seem w name uh, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't up until I got ready to do we come strapped.
Speaker 1: It's when Stoney decided to have me just go it
Speaker 1: as a solo artist instead of CMW. Thus is how
Speaker 1: you got m C a feature in the concertence most
Speaker 1: Wanted on my first solo project. So that's how that happened.
Speaker 1: But I just felt, you know, in the beginning, I
Speaker 1: didn't feel like I should go to just MC eight.
Speaker 1: You get me. We had already had a platform for
Speaker 1: a comptence most Wanted because of the first album and
Speaker 1: one time gal for them upping that record, you know,
Speaker 1: selling about two hundred and fifty thousand companies back in
Speaker 1: fucking n So we just stuck with it. You fail me,
Speaker 1: yeah for sure. And it was a classic album because
Speaker 1: eight albums always reminded me of movies and did a
Speaker 1: lot of albums during that time period. They just had
Speaker 1: this really just like cinematic field where you would turn
Speaker 1: stuff over from the beginning and you wouldn't stop to
Speaker 1: the end. It wasn't no skipping, no tracks. You was
Speaker 1: just kind of listened to it. It It was like watching
Speaker 1: the movie kind of and it was cool, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying it was just real dope, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Hey, But but Music to Drive By
Speaker 1: and straight well really all three conference most one of
Speaker 1: the albums of the era. To steal his point, there's
Speaker 1: no skips. And that's one of the things I always
Speaker 1: go back and forth between if I like straight checking them,
Speaker 1: more Music to drive By more, but um, the the
Speaker 1: force and the menace of the production, especially on Music
Speaker 1: to Drive By, it's just phenomenal, And I just think
Speaker 1: straight checking them because I don't dance and some of
Speaker 1: the other songs that a little more. Always I was always,
Speaker 1: you know, I tried to be a little differently, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: that's why I did songs like I Don't Dance or
Speaker 1: you know, can I Kill It? Or you know, just
Speaker 1: songs that were different than the usual, you know, right,
Speaker 1: songs that were different than the usual. Hey man, you know,
Speaker 1: hood niggas, pistols, police, dope selling, you know. So, I
Speaker 1: you know, I was just an I wanted to be
Speaker 1: an artist first, even though from Compton in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: and all of that, Um, I want to be an
Speaker 1: artist or rapper first. So I felt, you know, having
Speaker 1: songs like the Ducks sick, I give up nothing, give
Speaker 1: it up. Uh, you know, final chapter, you get me
Speaker 1: songs like that, uh, straight checking them. I don't dance, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, songs that that third of way from just
Speaker 1: the typical Hey low wider Dayton's pistol and exactly. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I always try to be different. It's straight
Speaker 1: away from what everybody else was doing as far as
Speaker 1: thanks to Rap was concerned. You know, I think that's
Speaker 1: why you remain one of the best artists of all
Speaker 1: time from the genre there is. It is what it
Speaker 1: is man, you know, so and I never could play
Speaker 1: whatever it is up or down. You know. It's just,
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like I've done a a sort
Speaker 1: of contribution to hip hop as far as the West
Speaker 1: Coast is concerned, and my relationships that I've had with
Speaker 1: niggas on the East Coast, you know, puts me in
Speaker 1: the position to where I'm still you know, the garner
Speaker 1: a little respect from dudes, you know, and said that's
Speaker 1: much appreciated. Yeah, speaking of the East Coast, one thing
Speaker 1: I did want to bring up was, even though this
Speaker 1: is definitely not a gangster rap album, I just remember
Speaker 1: this was right around that's time. I was starting to
Speaker 1: really get into rap as a young young man or
Speaker 1: young youth as the wild would say. But the Run DMC,
Speaker 1: the first album the Streets of our area of Maryland
Speaker 1: d C. That that album, it's self titled album that
Speaker 1: had everything on fire Man because you had how this crew,
Speaker 1: you had Sucker MCS. You know, it was like that
Speaker 1: album to me as I was starting to understand rap
Speaker 1: and get into it, really, I started saying, like, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, this is what people are feeling in a
Speaker 1: different way than I think what I was starting to
Speaker 1: understand about people like Curtis Blow and loved his songs,
Speaker 1: but they felt Run d m C in a different
Speaker 1: way to me, uh what I was seeing. And that
Speaker 1: was the first one that I remember as I looked
Speaker 1: back that had that kind of different element and different
Speaker 1: field because Sucker m sees was so hard and so
Speaker 1: stripped down and so angry. You know, that element, I
Speaker 1: guess you could say that was on street Ship. You
Speaker 1: didn't me because you said they had wraps like Sucker MCS.
Speaker 1: They had shipped like hard Times and ship Man, come
Speaker 1: on man, you know, and then they would go to
Speaker 1: songs like rock Box or or you know, ship like that.
Speaker 1: But they was our first you know, element of street too,
Speaker 1: because you know that Motherfucker's been had a flashy outfits
Speaker 1: that Motherfucker's was used to niggas was in jeans and
Speaker 1: fucking you know, pimp chaps and motherfucking leather coats and ship.
Speaker 1: They represented the block and the hood and ship. You know,
Speaker 1: you might have didn't hear tales of an actual yeah
Speaker 1: HOMEI got you know, the homie wind popto was drug selling,
Speaker 1: but they had a way of describing hood tales and
Speaker 1: shipped to niggers coming from that era, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, So I guess you could say that too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hard times and it's like that in particular off that album.
Speaker 1: Those two were the quote like eight saying. They weren't like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm on the block slanging or doing whatever, but they
Speaker 1: were also like talking about things in a way we
Speaker 1: saw maybe with the message and different things that had
Speaker 1: come out before it, but this was much more like sonically, especially,
Speaker 1: I think it matched the force and the energy and
Speaker 1: kind of the anger at times that Run and DMC had,
Speaker 1: But the beats were so hard and so stripped down
Speaker 1: that it was just like you know, you could feel
Speaker 1: when they said hard times where it's like that, you know,
Speaker 1: that's just the way exactly. I always kind of looked
Speaker 1: at that. It's like the message kind of they took
Speaker 1: the chorus of the message and kind of played off
Speaker 1: it because it's like a jungle. Sometimes it's like that,
Speaker 1: and that's the way it is exactly they described in
Speaker 1: the term still can you hear this snoring in the background,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, can you pick? Are you hearing it? Ah?
Speaker 1: Because this this nigga loud is hell over here? Who
Speaker 1: is it? Oh? Man? He's knocked the funk out? I
Speaker 1: can't you know what I did here? A little something
Speaker 1: the background snoring like a grown ass motherfucking man who
Speaker 1: had had like fifteen shots last night or some liquor,
Speaker 1: and he just laid up shut off the eighth store
Speaker 1: over there over the front the weed he probably got
Speaker 1: stop stopping that nigga told out album wake up? Hey,
Speaker 1: So my um, you want to finish describing your picks? Still? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me go back because I'm going to kind of playoffs.
Speaker 1: So it's Run DMC. Is the first Run DMC album?
Speaker 1: One of your picks? So yeah, that would be one
Speaker 1: of mine. Because mine I have being that I'm not
Speaker 1: from l A. And being that I also I have
Speaker 1: different entry points too, because what I was around and
Speaker 1: what I saw, like for instance, America's Most Wanted of
Speaker 1: course is one of the best albums of all time
Speaker 1: as his music to drive by, But to me they
Speaker 1: meant a lot. But to what was going on around
Speaker 1: me in Maryland when I would go or be in
Speaker 1: Baltimore or be in d C. Neither one of those
Speaker 1: two albums like are gonna say what my five would
Speaker 1: be at least four when I was a kid, because
Speaker 1: to me, part of the reason why I think I
Speaker 1: had my careers because I could feel what eight was
Speaker 1: saying in such a way that the first time I
Speaker 1: ever met Snoop back in like ninety whenever I met Snoop,
Speaker 1: he was like, I was asking about King T and
Speaker 1: Above the Law. He's like, oh, what part of l
Speaker 1: A are you from. I was like, I'm not from
Speaker 1: l A. I'm from Maryland, man, And he was blown
Speaker 1: away that to me, that music meant so much to
Speaker 1: me that I was asking him, Oh, Snoop, did this
Speaker 1: influence you or did you do this or do because
Speaker 1: of Above the Law or because of King T. But
Speaker 1: that's how I felt the music. But what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the street effect, I'm gonna talk about more what
Speaker 1: I saw or my friends, or the cities. When I
Speaker 1: would go in the Baltimore, I go into d C.
Speaker 1: What I would see or here playing out of cars
Speaker 1: when I go to play basketball, when we were being
Speaker 1: a tournament or something. You know. Well, that's why these
Speaker 1: lists are always subjective versus being objective, because it's just
Speaker 1: our own personal opinions and what we feel. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you named run DMC. I'm Richie from Cleveland,
Speaker 1: but I've been out in California since eighty seven. So
Speaker 1: my next pick, which was the Ghetto Boys gripping on
Speaker 1: another level that very much qualifies as against the rap
Speaker 1: album because there was three dudes from Houston, Texas talking ship.
Speaker 1: First of all, it was a fucking I remember the
Speaker 1: original Ghetto Boys when it was Um Prince, Johnny C
Speaker 1: and m Ready Red. So we went from having the
Speaker 1: car free records to where when they brought Willie d
Speaker 1: N and Scarface went from being DJ Action the Scarface,
Speaker 1: there was just some rapping motherfucker's and they was all
Speaker 1: so different. Willie deep was like the big country dude.
Speaker 1: There was like a city dude to talk a bunch
Speaker 1: of ships. There was really what people's ass in the streets.
Speaker 1: And you heard about these fights that he made got
Speaker 1: in because I heard about him with somebody's ass from
Speaker 1: east side of Cleveland before the end store. Well he's
Speaker 1: a he's a real boxer though too. On top of
Speaker 1: all that, yeah, yeah, we all got swabbos, you know,
Speaker 1: so we all got squabbles. And then it was just
Speaker 1: the misied man. And then it was the ship they
Speaker 1: was talking about like it was almost kind of like
Speaker 1: they were part gangster rap, part horror Corgan's they were
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, slicing women up. Like those records
Speaker 1: couldn't have got made today and instinctive as area we're
Speaker 1: here right now, those records would have been banned for sure,
Speaker 1: a whole lot of them. And so that's why I
Speaker 1: picked the Ghetto Boys. I think they brought something new.
Speaker 1: It was like a new experience, right and again another
Speaker 1: visual group because if you noticed during that time period,
Speaker 1: a lot of songs didn't have looks on them. It
Speaker 1: would be just kind of the instrumental ride for about
Speaker 1: twenty thirty seconds you know what I mean, almost to
Speaker 1: give your brain kind of trying to reflect on the
Speaker 1: ship you just heard for the past minute, and it
Speaker 1: was just real visual. Now my other one Ice Tea
Speaker 1: was like my introduction to West Coast rap. I remember
Speaker 1: when I first heard six in the Morning. I was
Speaker 1: in the projects in Cleveland, the project Homeboy. You know,
Speaker 1: you got the homie in the hood that knows every
Speaker 1: rap from everywhere. He got every tape of ells, he
Speaker 1: got instants burned outside his crib. He just know everything
Speaker 1: and helps to know about hip hop, and he always
Speaker 1: got weeds. So I went over to Homie Ice Mike.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Homie Ice Mike. I went over to
Speaker 1: his crib, and I remember everybody was standing around like
Speaker 1: we was all kids too, man, And we heard the
Speaker 1: poem that Ice t had at the beginning of the song,
Speaker 1: the child was born in the East, one day into
Speaker 1: the West. He moved and all that ship and he
Speaker 1: had the music in the background. Then when a magnificent
Speaker 1: rhyme around the eel be designer if they ask you
Speaker 1: if from death, it was just so it was like, God,
Speaker 1: damn this ship as hard as a motherfucker. And that's
Speaker 1: when they was kind of like doing it pit rock
Speaker 1: guitars over the eight away drums and all that ship.
Speaker 1: And then when six in the morning came me and
Speaker 1: he told this story. It was so motherfucking just like
Speaker 1: it was so visual. And that was around the time
Speaker 1: the movie Colors that came out and all that, and
Speaker 1: I was going to the West Coast that year. That's
Speaker 1: when I was coming up to play football, and so
Speaker 1: all the homies kept telling me, man, you sure you
Speaker 1: want to be out there with them crips, them crypts
Speaker 1: is real dangerous. Man. I didn't know what the funding
Speaker 1: crip war blood was. So when I came out here,
Speaker 1: I'm the lone beach. I had a red Ohio state
Speaker 1: sweat shirt on and I was walking to the burger spot.
Speaker 1: There was a dude in the wheelchair and another Summonian
Speaker 1: dude named Joker pulled up on me that was like, Cuz,
Speaker 1: what did you were you from? Cuz? And I said Ohio.
Speaker 1: They said, oh, you're trying to be funny to do
Speaker 1: in the wheelchair like wrapped the strip, like the strip
Speaker 1: up under the blanket in his lap. And I was like, man, no,
Speaker 1: I'm from Ohio. And they started laughing, they said, because
Speaker 1: really from Ohio, they deliver see your driver's license, because
Speaker 1: and I pulled out my I d right to see
Speaker 1: it Ohio, so I gotta pass right and start hanging
Speaker 1: out with them due. So that's when I started getting
Speaker 1: to understanding of what the Crypts and the Blufs was.
Speaker 1: But Ice gave a very very visual reputation representation of
Speaker 1: what Los Angeles, California was at that time. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got the I got the privilege of being able to
Speaker 1: see eight and Iced Tea perform earlier this year, and
Speaker 1: I was like eight. I was like, I gotta sit
Speaker 1: in the crowd this time because I haven't seen I
Speaker 1: was like, i'ven't seen iceed Tea performing in person in
Speaker 1: a long time. So I was like, I gotta be
Speaker 1: in the crowd because it's such a different experience from
Speaker 1: being on the side of the stage of backstage. And
Speaker 1: thanks for the shout out again on that eight because
Speaker 1: because I was for a long way eight, I was
Speaker 1: with fishing with Laman and my wife and we were
Speaker 1: like eight sauce rapping. But I was like, man, but Ice,
Speaker 1: I think Iced Tea really as time goes on, because
Speaker 1: he's such a prominent actor. People forget and Pitchman for
Speaker 1: doing all his commercials, but they forget what he gave
Speaker 1: the Rat and what he still gives the Rat. And
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the biggest travesties. So I
Speaker 1: think it's important Steal that you're bringing that up because
Speaker 1: you know Ryan Pay's power. You know ice Burg all
Speaker 1: these albums o G. They're phenomenal and his stories. The
Speaker 1: great thing about to me, the best gangster rap is
Speaker 1: something that eight did, something that iceed T did, schooly
Speaker 1: D did it too. But all the great artists, ice Cube,
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, they showed you to the
Speaker 1: cons of the game too. It wasn't just like, oh
Speaker 1: I'm the man, I'm getting all this stuff. It was
Speaker 1: about getting locked up. It was about their problems and
Speaker 1: how people the collateral damage that comes with the life.
Speaker 1: And Iced Tea, I think was one of the best
Speaker 1: and first people to do that on such a big scale.
Speaker 1: And Ron Pays. You know, it's definitely wonder them because
Speaker 1: he's running from the police. First thing, police at my door,
Speaker 1: so we already know that's a second line. Yeah, for Shure,
Speaker 1: and you know, going back to eight, it was so
Speaker 1: hard for me not to put We come strapped in there.
Speaker 1: You feel what I mean? And it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're trying to do this stuff is you? It's all subjective,
Speaker 1: but you want to be as a you don't want
Speaker 1: to miss nothing. You feel what I'm saying that. They
Speaker 1: almost feel like a travesty not to include that album
Speaker 1: because he's another one that gave you the pitfalls eight
Speaker 1: don't been burned on songs. It ain't just been about
Speaker 1: him getting shot. He's been that. Gonna cut STDs on songs,
Speaker 1: don't cut std fun with the herd rad bitch of
Speaker 1: this ship. He don't got jack before. He don't. You don't,
Speaker 1: you don't got arrested. My tails are. I just try
Speaker 1: to tell a motherfucker like you know, a lot of niggas,
Speaker 1: you know, want to be the victorious. You know, I
Speaker 1: sold a hundred thousand birds and I'm bawling, and you
Speaker 1: know I'm there or I'm not. I've always liked the
Speaker 1: educator nigga on the pitfalls of being in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: because everything is not glorious. You get me. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: some niggas who's ball and ship, but they eventually get popped,
Speaker 1: sent up, go to the beds, get jack, come invaded, killed, whatever.
Speaker 1: So I just always wanted to tell niggas the pitfalls
Speaker 1: of being from the neighborhood. Yeah, we loved it, you
Speaker 1: get me. Wasn't trade it for nothing. You give me.
Speaker 1: If I had to go back and do it all
Speaker 1: over again, nigga still do it all over again, ragging
Speaker 1: the back pockets, strapping the motherfucking under the seat, getting
Speaker 1: jacked by the police every day. But you know, there
Speaker 1: was always a motherfucking there was always an insight to it,
Speaker 1: you nit me, because I always went to jail, or
Speaker 1: always got busted with a gun in my car, or
Speaker 1: got shot at it or you really you didnt me.
Speaker 1: So even though it was glorious to a nigga, we
Speaker 1: still had to, you know, go through those pitfalls of
Speaker 1: being from the neighborhood. And that's what I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell in my chails. I didn't just wanted to glorify.
Speaker 1: Everybody had low riders and banging, and we were the
Speaker 1: strong power and ruthy win. Don't tell a nigga like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the homie went to jail for life, or the homie
Speaker 1: got chilled, or hey, I got a question for you
Speaker 1: on that exact point, because I noticed from listening to
Speaker 1: your music since the beginning, since the Comptent compilation. But
Speaker 1: my question is, why do you think because you, in
Speaker 1: particular and the other great artists we mentioned have done that,
Speaker 1: why do you think so many people don't acknowledge that
Speaker 1: or pay attention to it when they talk about Comptence
Speaker 1: most wanted the gangster rap that it's always so much
Speaker 1: of the glorifying or the negativity. They don't look at
Speaker 1: the fact that no MC is telling you all these
Speaker 1: bad things that happened to him, that he's seen bad happen,
Speaker 1: Like why do they not? Because to me I always
Speaker 1: saw that. I always was like whoa, I guess um
Speaker 1: because I just fell into that motherfucking category of being
Speaker 1: a gangster net from Compton. You get me And to
Speaker 1: others who were against that, um you, they never want
Speaker 1: to recognize you know, like you always see the bad.
Speaker 1: You will never see a motherfucker give back to the
Speaker 1: neighborhood or when they go out and by turkeys or
Speaker 1: do little ship for the schools or whatever. Um I was.
Speaker 1: It was just the category of being against the rapper
Speaker 1: and Compton's most wanted And I think that's what had
Speaker 1: a lot of effect on it. When you heard the
Speaker 1: word Compton and you looked at the videos and you
Speaker 1: saw them, you know, the imagery and magazines or whatever.
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't get that. Um. They just
Speaker 1: saw you know, niggas and khaki suits with with raiders
Speaker 1: caps on and talking about Compton and drive by killings
Speaker 1: and Ship. But they never wanted to analyze that. A
Speaker 1: lot of the Ship that I told was the pitfalls
Speaker 1: of it. You get me, You you sucked with a
Speaker 1: hood rack, you got burnt. Uh, you did a drive by,
Speaker 1: You go to prison, You get me. Uh. Niggas come
Speaker 1: through and catch you slipping, you die, you get me? Uh.
Speaker 1: That was my tails. It wasn't like nigga. We was
Speaker 1: at the park today having a ball and the picnic
Speaker 1: and everybody was barbecuing and drinking forties and Ship. I
Speaker 1: couldn't tell them stories because Ship, when we go to
Speaker 1: the park and have a barbecue, somebody comes through and
Speaker 1: blast that motherfucker, or the police end up jacking everybody,
Speaker 1: and somebody end up going to jail, or we all
Speaker 1: go to jail. So I would tell you that progress
Speaker 1: you give me, but some people, you know, didn't recognize it.
Speaker 1: Some people did, and some people would give me, you know,
Speaker 1: props for um. I think I've seen something not too
Speaker 1: long ago where somebody was talking about that. You know,
Speaker 1: how up as, these classified gangster rappers influenced the youth
Speaker 1: of today. And it's our fault because niggas is going
Speaker 1: out killing everybody and doing ship. And I would tell
Speaker 1: motherfucker's you know, I never glorified the hood like that,
Speaker 1: you know, And then I saw somebody would say, well,
Speaker 1: eight would tell the pitfalls of it. Eight would never
Speaker 1: glorify being from the neighborhood, even though he was from
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. He would always tell you at the end
Speaker 1: of his songs, the homely got killed, they ended up
Speaker 1: going to prison for life or you know, that was
Speaker 1: the scenario. And that's the real life outlook, you know,
Speaker 1: on a lot of us who came from the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: you know, not being rappers ship. You know, before I
Speaker 1: was rapping, I was just a regularized kid running around
Speaker 1: Jane Banning and we went to jail every other day
Speaker 1: for lortering Bonice come through, pick us up, drive us around,
Speaker 1: throw us in the motherfuckerselves. Niggas come through blasting. We're
Speaker 1: on the corner every day, six seven niggas trying to tell,
Speaker 1: you know, to one car just to make ends me
Speaker 1: because when you go home, you get me. You know,
Speaker 1: when you're living in poverty and minds are struggling and
Speaker 1: ship like that, you gotta tell them tales man, because
Speaker 1: you gotta let motherfucker's know that. You know, the pitchfalls
Speaker 1: are being from the neighborhood is not all glorified. So
Speaker 1: that was just something I always wanted to do as
Speaker 1: far as my contribution. Some people recognize that, some people didn't. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know what. Eight was great at the introspective stuff
Speaker 1: in It's a song. I gotta give Iced Tea some credit.
Speaker 1: On Dog Really Had Me. It was the first song
Speaker 1: I heard about prison. They're really Scared the funk out
Speaker 1: of Me on the O G album. It was on
Speaker 1: the original Gamester album The Tower, when of the greatest
Speaker 1: fucking rap songs ever fucking wrote you know Where. He
Speaker 1: was like, I'm rolling up in a big gray bust
Speaker 1: and I'm shackled down myself though that's who I trust.
Speaker 1: The minute I arrived. Some sucking gout hit shank ten
Speaker 1: times behind some bullshit. It was just a real ship.
Speaker 1: Like when he said that ship I stuck, I stuck
Speaker 1: with twice in the nick and lefting they in the yard.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this ship hard is a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: I used to it's the hardest motherfucker ever. And they
Speaker 1: get paid and niggas got and we got you know,
Speaker 1: band or whatever, because but niggas was just telling tales
Speaker 1: from from from situations you did me, because the ship
Speaker 1: was really happy, man, you get me. It was niggas
Speaker 1: getting stuck on the prison yard. You get me killed,
Speaker 1: niggas be on that bus shackled like man out of
Speaker 1: fucked up. Man, you gave me. It's it's it's it's
Speaker 1: real hard life and some people don't understand it. And
Speaker 1: the way for us to express it. What's the rap
Speaker 1: music you did me had? Also, the music had like
Speaker 1: the Halloween type of music from them. Yeah, And it
Speaker 1: just scares you because man, when I heard that ricking,
Speaker 1: you gotta remember I'm old now, but I was young
Speaker 1: at that time. We was younger at that time. When
Speaker 1: I heard it, I was like, oh my god, man,
Speaker 1: that's also remember two Similarly, the moment I feared by
Speaker 1: slick Rick exactly whoa whoa? I only I don't want
Speaker 1: no part of that. Yeah, it was and slick Rick.
Speaker 1: You know what, man. And that's the thing about gamester rapper.
Speaker 1: I think sometimes some artists like to me, cougie rappers
Speaker 1: against rapper. To me, carriss one is against rapper. To me,
Speaker 1: justice is against rapper. To me, school he is against rapper.
Speaker 1: It's not just the West Coast thing or here. You
Speaker 1: could be for wherever. If you tell me, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta be. Because even though they didn't talk blood
Speaker 1: and crypt ship, that was the introduction. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? The East Coast? To me, those those
Speaker 1: were niggas that I bumped, you know, faithfully, because that
Speaker 1: was as a young motherfucker getting introduced to kid pop um.
Speaker 1: Them niggas represented the streets. You give me school. Listen
Speaker 1: to this in eight six, This is what school, he said.
Speaker 1: Part side my placing home. The PSK gangsters like the
Speaker 1: room Sheba in her hand, thirty two on her socks,
Speaker 1: protecting our turf like it was Fort Knox. That's her ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's my gang, here's our corner. And if you come around.
Speaker 1: We got something for you. That's dang banging all day
Speaker 1: and that was eighty six so like and that's on
Speaker 1: the park Side five too. That want to listen to
Speaker 1: that song, But like I remember hearing that and in Maryland.
Speaker 1: Thankfully I didn't grow up in a super crazy area anything,
Speaker 1: but it was only one or two. It wasn't that
Speaker 1: far away. But we didn't have it. We had more
Speaker 1: crews and neighborhoods and stuff like that in Baltimore, DC
Speaker 1: or places I would go, but it wasn't like you
Speaker 1: don't come on fifty two and Parkside like school. He
Speaker 1: made me believe, you know, I'm not going to Philly.
Speaker 1: If I go to Philly, I do not want to
Speaker 1: end up on fifty two Street and park Side Avenue.
Speaker 1: I do not want to go you know, you know
Speaker 1: you being from that part of the country. Man, kick
Speaker 1: your top five. Kick your top five right now. I'm
Speaker 1: interested to hear with this. This is hard given how
Speaker 1: we kind of change what it is. So remember but
Speaker 1: the five I think impacted what I saw a different
Speaker 1: times in my life of the streets per se was
Speaker 1: the running m C Publican Demia takes the Nation of
Speaker 1: millions to hold us back straight out of Compton, n
Speaker 1: w A. And then I gotta say, uh, the chronic
Speaker 1: and ghet O D by Master P. Okay, that's interesting
Speaker 1: that I can. I can see that Dom Ghetto D
Speaker 1: is the only one I was in college. I had
Speaker 1: graduated from college when that came out, but I went
Speaker 1: to college in Ohio. It's Cincinnati A Xavier. Yeah, I can. Oh,
Speaker 1: my god. I had seen him at Dayton, Ohio perform
Speaker 1: during like the ice Cream Man error or something, and
Speaker 1: I was like, who is this dude, Mr P And
Speaker 1: why is he performing in Dayton, Ohio. I didn't believe
Speaker 1: he would be able to have a show there at
Speaker 1: that time, but it was sold out and people with
Speaker 1: daan't Ohio it would go on nuts and as both
Speaker 1: y'all know, that's Roger and Zapp, that's that's you know,
Speaker 1: they got the music there. So the Ghetto D album
Speaker 1: not only was it affecting all over the country, which
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen yet because we didn't go I only
Speaker 1: went on two vacations my whole life as a kid.
Speaker 1: We weren't like traveling around the world or anything. I
Speaker 1: was pretty much in Maryland, so I didn't see other
Speaker 1: parts of the country until I went to college. But
Speaker 1: I'll did they know how to show? And then also
Speaker 1: I used to study Billboard every week religiously. And I
Speaker 1: remember when Ghetto D and eight. You remember this, When
Speaker 1: the album would come out rarely, but sometimes it would
Speaker 1: chart the week before because the mom and pops and
Speaker 1: the other stores would sell the illegally quote unquote before
Speaker 1: it came out. Now, the thing I'll never forget about
Speaker 1: master p with Ghetto D and this let me know
Speaker 1: the streets or into it. It charted at like a
Speaker 1: hundred sixty eight of all albums before it was even out,
Speaker 1: so that many people were buying it before it even
Speaker 1: was legally for sale, that it made the top two
Speaker 1: D not a rap of music. And I just remember,
Speaker 1: like in Maryland people were loving it, and Ohio people
Speaker 1: were loving it. And I had started traveling for writing,
Speaker 1: you know, thankfully my career had started taking off, so
Speaker 1: I was going to different cities. I was going to
Speaker 1: the South, I was coming to l A. I was
Speaker 1: in New York all the time, and I just remember
Speaker 1: I I had never experienced anything like Ghetto D, where
Speaker 1: it seemed like the whole country was like Ryan for
Speaker 1: this dude, and then that album just blew up, so
Speaker 1: that one, that one, it was just crazy to see
Speaker 1: that in real time and being able to travel. So
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Ghetto d Uh is one of them. Man.
Speaker 1: So you got Ghetto d Master, P Run DMC, what
Speaker 1: was your other? What was your other? Three takes the
Speaker 1: Nation of Millions, the holest back Uh straight Compton by
Speaker 1: w A and then the Chronic by Dr Dre And
Speaker 1: I can go through all five or how y'all want
Speaker 1: to do it, but man, what I want to come
Speaker 1: back to this is the big debate right here. The
Speaker 1: Chronic is probably the greatest rap album of all times.
Speaker 1: The biggest debate no between that in way because you
Speaker 1: gotta go an impact right without in w A L
Speaker 1: the Chronic might not be shipped well. One of the
Speaker 1: things that I noticed and from for me and my
Speaker 1: area in Maryland, that straight out Compton did that was
Speaker 1: very different was and it started really what easy does it?
Speaker 1: Because that came out first, But I never forget. I
Speaker 1: was in uh home economics or wood shop class in
Speaker 1: middle school and this white boy who I had never
Speaker 1: heard talk about rap, ever, I had everything. This dude
Speaker 1: came up to me with the Easy Does It on
Speaker 1: cassette and he was like, Yo, we heard this ship Sore.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I love easy Man. He goes, man,
Speaker 1: this is this is amazing. And the thing that I
Speaker 1: noticed was that the white kids that had heard Rapper
Speaker 1: did or whatever, for whatever reason Easy Does It in
Speaker 1: Strail Compton, but more Strail Compton, even though it came
Speaker 1: out later, that really changed them for whatever reason, to
Speaker 1: get into wrap in a way I had not because
Speaker 1: this is so I've been listening to rap all day,
Speaker 1: every day for three or four years at that time,
Speaker 1: but that album all these white dudes at my school
Speaker 1: because I basically only had black people to talk to
Speaker 1: in my school that love rap because no one else
Speaker 1: did at that time. And as y'all know, that changed
Speaker 1: a little bit later, you know, until where it was
Speaker 1: like so many white people like rap, but not in
Speaker 1: my In my school, it was unusual until and it
Speaker 1: was something about Easy Does It and some about Strail
Speaker 1: Compton in eighty nine where they were like, oh, we
Speaker 1: can listen to this or in a different way because
Speaker 1: running m C. I think, at least in my experience,
Speaker 1: it was more they liked Walked This Way. Didn't like
Speaker 1: Running MC. They like that song for whatever reason too.
Speaker 1: They weren't listening to the Sucker mcs. They weren't listening
Speaker 1: to the Hard Times or it's like that, you know,
Speaker 1: even though those are huge songs, it was more we like,
Speaker 1: they're like more of the poppy stuff because you know,
Speaker 1: Walked this Way it was a big song. That was
Speaker 1: the Aerosmith cross over. It was just a big record
Speaker 1: cause I remember me being in the highway at that
Speaker 1: time at all. It's kind of like places that I
Speaker 1: hung out with my white friends, like you know, the
Speaker 1: road with skating rink and all that and those little
Speaker 1: shitty gloves. They're back in the house. They would just
Speaker 1: play that song and that was them playing rap. And
Speaker 1: then eventually it became like with Tone Low, that's the
Speaker 1: same type of records, like you know with Tone Look,
Speaker 1: which interested enough. Tone Look was the first person game
Speaker 1: banging on wats but made the least games to rap music,
Speaker 1: but was the biggest creep out there. Tone Yeah, Look,
Speaker 1: Tone Look made the pop made pop music, you feel
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He made pop music, but he was
Speaker 1: a gamester to dude, and I think that was the
Speaker 1: thing in that era, I think with eight and them
Speaker 1: did because it was some really regional good. It was
Speaker 1: some good regional gates to wrap in the nineties like
Speaker 1: nineties nine, like you had cats like the Dayton family.
Speaker 1: You had top authority, and if you went to Ohio,
Speaker 1: if you were in Ohio, Indianapolis, you know, in Ohio,
Speaker 1: Indiana or Michigan, you would have swerping down. Top authority
Speaker 1: was platinum for the Dayton family because every truck that
Speaker 1: drove by was them dudes, and it was like that
Speaker 1: was day comptence most wanted. And they see what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: that was their version. Everybody had their own version of
Speaker 1: in dethituate around the country and it made it some
Speaker 1: pretty dope hip hop. And during that time you can
Speaker 1: kind of fall off your bid and see thirty thousand records. Remember,
Speaker 1: of course eight knows. But that's why I'm bringing up
Speaker 1: the same thing with the MC breeding DFC, because exactly
Speaker 1: DFC was huge to man, especially huge I had to
Speaker 1: benefit and part of the reason why I wanted to
Speaker 1: go to Ohio was to get to see a different
Speaker 1: part of the country. So when I did go to
Speaker 1: college and I was able to go to Cleveland and
Speaker 1: Columbus and Dayton and Cincinnati and Lexington and Louisville and
Speaker 1: all these places because all the people in my school
Speaker 1: were from there. So I'd be like, hey, can I
Speaker 1: go hold with you for the weekend? I want to
Speaker 1: see what it's like. And I got to do all that.
Speaker 1: That's where I gained a deeper appreciation. And even people
Speaker 1: in the South like April and MJ. G were huge
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati, so it's like, you know, you just see
Speaker 1: and hear all these different things when you're able to
Speaker 1: get around. And that's why to me that ghetto d
Speaker 1: by Master P was such a not only because I
Speaker 1: agree everything is still saying, but I also think the
Speaker 1: Master P was times a thousand. You know. It's just
Speaker 1: a different level of the games. Yeah know, because you
Speaker 1: got to see it there see. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: I'm a master P fan. I think you can't help
Speaker 1: but love what his movement was. You know, he's a
Speaker 1: dude that came because he wasn't necessarily the best rapper
Speaker 1: in the world, but just his hustle and his driving,
Speaker 1: his determination kind of makes you want to want see
Speaker 1: the motherfucker win. You know what I'm saying, and he
Speaker 1: did his ship. You know, I just think it was
Speaker 1: a lot of um. I just think as far as
Speaker 1: independence go, during that time, it was a lot of
Speaker 1: great independent albums too that may not necessarily be worthy
Speaker 1: of that top five spot or whatever like that. But
Speaker 1: then something you may talk to somebody that's from Cleveland, Ohio,
Speaker 1: from Detroit, Michigan, and they may swear, but down the
Speaker 1: day the Dayton Family got the best gamester Rap album
Speaker 1: of all time, and some of that ship may be
Speaker 1: valid that they may have valid opinions. I think they
Speaker 1: got valid points. But I think as far as now man,
Speaker 1: I think that air makes that are so specialist that
Speaker 1: people actually it was a method behind the madness. People
Speaker 1: was actually talking about sit gamester Rap made some of
Speaker 1: the best political statements and songs, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like Ice Cue with Black Career, You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: A song that couldn't be made the day because it
Speaker 1: would be mr It would be looked at as um
Speaker 1: anti Semitic and all kinds of other stuff. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Right, we would be looked at in
Speaker 1: a certain way. But they actually made statements back then.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't about senseless violence. It was all like
Speaker 1: a method behind the madness. And today man versus today
Speaker 1: to where you get a dude to sell like A said,
Speaker 1: a million bricks, he is sell a million killer Grahams.
Speaker 1: And he got away because his girlfriend was in there
Speaker 1: at fans or whatever. He was sucking her or whatever.
Speaker 1: He got away in the helicopter. He wait, you see
Speaker 1: what I'm saying exactly like you're saying. Still, how many
Speaker 1: damn helicopters are there in reality? Exactly? Man, So you
Speaker 1: know you got motherfucker's But all these tales, and I
Speaker 1: always remember that this is just entertainment at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. It's entertainment. But I still think the
Speaker 1: ship meant a little bit more back then. Well, I
Speaker 1: think too. And eight let me ask you this eight
Speaker 1: building off what's steel saying? I remember it seemed to
Speaker 1: me and when I was starting to get into writing
Speaker 1: and the interview artists, it also seemed like the things
Speaker 1: switched from being great or being respected for your work
Speaker 1: too in the mid to late nineties, I think it
Speaker 1: changed into the quote unquote the hustle or I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get paid off of this. Did you see a switch
Speaker 1: yourself artistically, of course it is, but I want to
Speaker 1: see from eight from the artistic side what he saw
Speaker 1: as his career progressed of that if at all. Um,
Speaker 1: Basically it started the era of you know, like you said,
Speaker 1: it started that era of I'm a hustler, Um, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna get mine. Um. It changed to more
Speaker 1: of about you know, what I can gather as far
Speaker 1: as you know, uh, the glitz and glamor of hip hop.
Speaker 1: You get me. Uh, Nigga started to speak more on
Speaker 1: their wealth and and the ship that they could accumulate
Speaker 1: as to when I first started, Uh, it was more
Speaker 1: about your lyricism and if you can capture niggas with
Speaker 1: your word play and what you had to say, you
Speaker 1: get me. Thus, niggas like fucking uh ice Q, and
Speaker 1: then niggas like ll Ale or early Nads or you know,
Speaker 1: just the whole rap scene in general. You know, Um,
Speaker 1: you have to be respected for your four what you
Speaker 1: brought as far as what you had to say to
Speaker 1: a motherfucker you know, Um, you gotta tell me something
Speaker 1: as to you know, that error changed them to more
Speaker 1: of you know, uh, you know the glitch, the glamour,
Speaker 1: the money, you know, the jury, the flossiness, the cars um.
Speaker 1: To me, it just changed the aspect of of being
Speaker 1: a truan see and it got away from um, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to capture motherfucker's with songs. Asked too, let's just
Speaker 1: do a lot of hookie ship and get people to
Speaker 1: sing alone. And and and it was you know, not
Speaker 1: to say that anything was bad with the hustle and
Speaker 1: wanting to you know, show your wealth or whatever. But
Speaker 1: I didn't come from that era to get me. I
Speaker 1: came from the era of being humble and just trying
Speaker 1: to get on and trying to make a way of
Speaker 1: getting out of the hood because of of of the
Speaker 1: mishaps of which you might fall into. You get me
Speaker 1: going to prison, getting killed, you know, mama struggling, you
Speaker 1: got you know, baby mama, and ship like that. So
Speaker 1: it was more about us trying to express what was
Speaker 1: going on with us in the neighborhoods and trying to
Speaker 1: make a way out of being stuck in fucking shit.
Speaker 1: You get me as opposed to no, I'm a rapper
Speaker 1: about nigga, you know, I'm a rapper about my lexus
Speaker 1: in my chain and my bank account and you know,
Speaker 1: you know what I bought today and ship like that.
Speaker 1: So it just changed a little bit of the dynamic
Speaker 1: of hip hop for us who were brought up on
Speaker 1: You know, nigga, you you got a rap to get
Speaker 1: in this ship you give me. I don't give a
Speaker 1: funk about how much money you've got for you. You
Speaker 1: better know how to wrap or how you ain't gonna
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna make it. You feel me, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you I love Mr P. I love Mr
Speaker 1: P bought all these records, but openly that's why Master
Speaker 1: people weren't around that long, because he wasn't as good
Speaker 1: of a rapper, and that was his whole thing, Um
Speaker 1: was I'm not a wrapper, I'm a hustle. And I
Speaker 1: was cool with that. It was cool he could tell
Speaker 1: you so off the p this is not no this
Speaker 1: at all. That man made fool cool money. Mr Pe
Speaker 1: made stupid money, and he paid the way for a
Speaker 1: lot of other people to have careers. He was a
Speaker 1: great businessman. Even today he's still making moves. Mass be
Speaker 1: up there and everything from corn flakes, shoes cereal dog
Speaker 1: like hustler, Donna hustle, right, my nigga know how to
Speaker 1: hustle the games, and I don't think he was ever
Speaker 1: on the on the motherfucking uh, the assumption of I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be a fucking ice cube or a fucking Tupac.
Speaker 1: You didn't know, motherfucker, where I'm from. We got certain
Speaker 1: phrases and certain ways we do ship, certain ways we hustle,
Speaker 1: and I'm a motherfucking I'm gonna serve that you get me.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna serve up with my people like and he
Speaker 1: knew you get me. It was smart because ain't nobody
Speaker 1: was pushing for what they was doing, and he decided,
Speaker 1: fuck that, I'm gonna push my own ship. You feel me,
Speaker 1: and I'm and no, I ain't. I ain't gotta be
Speaker 1: the best motherfucking lyricists. He made away because it's all
Speaker 1: kind of motherfucker's that's selling a lot of records dogs,
Speaker 1: not just like Gucci man. You got cats like Gucci man.
Speaker 1: You got a whole bunch of these motherfucker's that's out there.
Speaker 1: Made a lot of money. They sell the records. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. Some of the records is jamming everything
Speaker 1: I know. The cater to my customers that's the hustle mentality.
Speaker 1: Cater to your customers and then let everybody else fall along.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna serve up my customers what they want
Speaker 1: from where I'm from, and then that's just just gonna
Speaker 1: fluctuate to other motherfucking places. You get me, because eventually
Speaker 1: they're gonna like my ship or whoever whoever. They're gonna
Speaker 1: take my ship over here, and somebody over there gonna
Speaker 1: like it, and then one person over here gonna take
Speaker 1: my ship. But right now, I'm gonna concentrate and cater
Speaker 1: to my customers. You get me. And that's how I'm
Speaker 1: gonna build my foundation by supporting my customers. And that's
Speaker 1: how the niggas got to win. They didn't worry about
Speaker 1: the niggas who felt like you gotta be a lyrical
Speaker 1: genius or whatever, because where I'm from, the niggas talk
Speaker 1: like this and they hustle like this. So let me
Speaker 1: cater to them and bring and push that ship, and
Speaker 1: then everything else will follow. And it did, it did,
Speaker 1: It definitely did. And that's why I too remember two
Speaker 1: with Master P. I think he was one of He
Speaker 1: wasn't the first, but I remember he did it on
Speaker 1: every album, and on several songs. Remember at the end
Speaker 1: of the songs he shout out since each shout out
Speaker 1: like fifty cities, and he shouted out the cities that
Speaker 1: didn't get didn't have either a big rap scene or
Speaker 1: that is being c markets. So like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: shouting out Louis, I'm shouting out Cincinnati. I'm shouting out exactly,
Speaker 1: shouting out loss of Vegas or whatever it was. But
Speaker 1: he did that religiously and I think that really affected
Speaker 1: people because I know in Ohio when I was in college,
Speaker 1: that mattered to them so much because in Cincinnati they
Speaker 1: didn't have that big rap scene. You know. So when
Speaker 1: someone's shouting out with Cincinnati, Ohio on a song, whoa
Speaker 1: what is this? Let me ride with this dude? And
Speaker 1: it worked. Yeah, it work big time. And you know
Speaker 1: somebody else and I ain't trying to get too much
Speaker 1: off your list. But we talked about quality, right lyricism
Speaker 1: and beat selection and all that stuff that just goes
Speaker 1: into making a great artist, right because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it was entertainment. You know. It's just
Speaker 1: like if Ronald Schwartz and I could go out and
Speaker 1: shoot fifty people in the movie. We don't believe that
Speaker 1: movie was real. It was just great entertainment for that
Speaker 1: hour or two hours we was in the theater. Right,
Speaker 1: So you look at a cat like Rick Ross, for example,
Speaker 1: Rick Ross is a bad motherfucker. He's a bad boy,
Speaker 1: dope as lyrics, got prop possibly top five as far
Speaker 1: as beat selection, as far as you know, crafting songs
Speaker 1: and putting stuff together. Ross makes some fireship. But is
Speaker 1: it believable or is it even about that? It was
Speaker 1: it just you know, because it's all entertainment and I'm
Speaker 1: not knocking them, but I'm just asking that question is
Speaker 1: should we judge these artists on basis of them being
Speaker 1: how authentic they are or are they making the best
Speaker 1: piece of art? Well, um, I mean to me, this
Speaker 1: makes sense what I'm saying. I mean, I get what
Speaker 1: I mean, I get what you I mean. But it
Speaker 1: all is, it's all in the imagination of what a
Speaker 1: motherfucker feel he wants to do with making a song.
Speaker 1: Because I don't necessarily have to be speaking on me,
Speaker 1: you get me. I could just be making this song
Speaker 1: in general, because this is the perception I get from
Speaker 1: what I see or what I spee over that happens.
Speaker 1: You get me, uh am I the nigga shipping thirty
Speaker 1: keys across the motherfuckering whatever I could be or I
Speaker 1: could not be, you get me. But the perception is,
Speaker 1: this is the song that I want to make because
Speaker 1: I know a lot of motherfucker's bill in that area.
Speaker 1: You get me. There's a lot of niggas on the
Speaker 1: streets who knows what I'm speaking on and if I
Speaker 1: want to have treat credibility, because that's the direction I'm
Speaker 1: going with my music and my image. I'm not going,
Speaker 1: uh you know, I'm not going to common route or
Speaker 1: the tribe called quest route or the L. L. Cool
Speaker 1: J Route. I'm going the route of the inner city
Speaker 1: nigga coming from poverty who have hustled his way up
Speaker 1: to whatever. So this could be the perception, Like I said,
Speaker 1: could it beat me? You never know. But what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do is I'm just trying to make a
Speaker 1: song and paying the story for niggas that might be
Speaker 1: in this ship or niggas who feel they like music.
Speaker 1: Who tells stories of the hustler, the nigga who balling,
Speaker 1: the nigga who got a hundred bitches. You're getting me in,
Speaker 1: you know, so you you can't perceive sit just like
Speaker 1: you said with a movie. And I know people uh
Speaker 1: tend to hold us to credibility a little more when
Speaker 1: speaking on records or the perception with videos or you're
Speaker 1: saying that you this person. People hold us to that
Speaker 1: standard because we're making records, right, because when you're get
Speaker 1: in the studio and you're talking about you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I pull out the the I pull out the pistol
Speaker 1: and a blasts and nigga and I'm miss and I'm not.
Speaker 1: That's the perception how that you've given off to the people,
Speaker 1: to the that's the perception you given off. That's an
Speaker 1: important point eight. And I think that's the difference is
Speaker 1: that name any actor or actress you want when they're done,
Speaker 1: they're acting, and the differences that think and the problem
Speaker 1: is in rap, a lot of the rappers, not all
Speaker 1: of the courts, have always said I this is my life,
Speaker 1: this is me and then when they rap about it,
Speaker 1: then they don't want to be accountable for it because
Speaker 1: but wait, it's just a song. Well no, you can't
Speaker 1: say this is all real and this is what I've
Speaker 1: done and then run from it. Because you know, Christian
Speaker 1: Belle isn't saying I'm Batman after exactly, He's not saying
Speaker 1: I jumped off these buildings and beat up the joker
Speaker 1: and didn't like No, he's an actor. So like when
Speaker 1: you hear a rapper, that's the difference. If the rapper
Speaker 1: just said, like what Ah just said. Again, they might
Speaker 1: not listen to what eight said, but at least eight
Speaker 1: seven and the differences all these street dudes real or
Speaker 1: imagined they are in this business of saying, like so
Speaker 1: many popular rappers now that have been in the game
Speaker 1: for a decade plus still rapping about selling thirty kilos
Speaker 1: a month, I'm like, dude, you would be incarcerated seventeen
Speaker 1: times over like no way and that in this ain't
Speaker 1: in no way of not towards if you're making the
Speaker 1: one to answer that right quick though. That's why I
Speaker 1: say it's a It's a line between presenting your ship
Speaker 1: as as as music you get me, or or presenting
Speaker 1: your ship as yeah, I'm I'm the biggest boss and
Speaker 1: and I'm the hardest street killer, or like nigger I
Speaker 1: pulled up on the ops and I shot a nigger.
Speaker 1: You get me now? Now you got that perception from
Speaker 1: the streets. Okay, okay, you oh you got that. Okay,
Speaker 1: because new niggas don't want to just make music you
Speaker 1: give me, or you don't want to hypothetically say in
Speaker 1: this record you get me. Oh Johnny did this or
Speaker 1: Frank did this? You want to be Frank or Johnny. Right,
Speaker 1: So now that's the pitfalls of Now you see why
Speaker 1: gang of motherfucker's is falling into a gang of bullshit nowadays,
Speaker 1: because oh, that's what you wanna be. You're saying you're
Speaker 1: the hardest nigga and use the fucking you're the fucking
Speaker 1: killer and you're the biggest cheelo drug dealer. Okay, no problem.
Speaker 1: Now we either gonna come Now, we're either gonna come
Speaker 1: checking your door, uh, try to take your ship, or
Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, that's the situation and the line
Speaker 1: between trying to just make me music for people to enjoy. Well,
Speaker 1: like they say, I was a storyteller, Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: telling your story. I'm not saying that's me. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you a story. I'm not saying eight jumped out
Speaker 1: the motherfucking I'm just hypothetically saying this might happen. You
Speaker 1: never see me say yeah, nigga, I jumped out the
Speaker 1: bushes with the h A and are killing niggas and
Speaker 1: whatever whatever, Because that's the difference between the days of
Speaker 1: when I told stories as to now. It seems like
Speaker 1: when niggas make records, they want to glorify this position
Speaker 1: or you know, they want to glorify the the craziness
Speaker 1: of of what we used to try to keep silent.
Speaker 1: You give me how all motherfucker's know that I'm selling
Speaker 1: thirty keys? I don't want you to give me. It's
Speaker 1: like that John Gotti complex, Like I gotta let the
Speaker 1: motherfucking know, like this is me type ship, like when
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be quiet about ship. But I guess
Speaker 1: that's the world of of of the difference of of
Speaker 1: you know, trying to make just music and songs for
Speaker 1: people and then giving people to present perception that you
Speaker 1: want to be a you know, a killer or a
Speaker 1: drug dealer or you get me yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: and put that out there to clarify something I said
Speaker 1: about Ross. The type of music Ross makes is South
Speaker 1: Miami music and the area where he comes from. You know,
Speaker 1: he's an eighties later eighties nineties guy, it was all
Speaker 1: kind of dope deep boys down there. So I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure he's speaking of the experience of seeing all that
Speaker 1: he saw down there, and he probably hustled a little bit,
Speaker 1: probably hustled a lot. We don't know. Like he said,
Speaker 1: he could have been a man down there for all
Speaker 1: we know. But to the average here just listening to
Speaker 1: that stuff, it just seems so far affected that we
Speaker 1: always have to remember. I do think that it deals
Speaker 1: in the team because it is far fast. She doesn't
Speaker 1: know the real noriega. Come on, come on, come on ahead,
Speaker 1: come so, I come on, man. But that was a
Speaker 1: hard ass line. You gotta be. But but I guess
Speaker 1: you would have to. I guess you would have to. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know how, Like you said, movies now they make
Speaker 1: movies that they go they are based off of true stories, right,
Speaker 1: and then there's movies like you said, when you see
Speaker 1: a motherfucking jump out, you see it. They can jump
Speaker 1: off for the building and land on his feet and
Speaker 1: kill up every alien and ship not leave with a scratch. Right,
Speaker 1: You have to differentiate the truth from from the hypothetical
Speaker 1: and what you sit up there and go like, man,
Speaker 1: my nigga said, you know the real Noriega. What you like?
Speaker 1: What you even contemplate that? Like? Man, he said, you
Speaker 1: know the real Noriega. Man, know the real norriea At
Speaker 1: And still my favorite movie. My favorite movie is Hollywood Shuffle.
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all remember the movie. So y'all
Speaker 1: remember this exactly what it is saying. You remember when
Speaker 1: they did sneaking in the movies and they had the
Speaker 1: Chicago Jones playing off Indiana Jones and the ed to
Speaker 1: the cliff and they jump off the cliff and when
Speaker 1: they land him and his girl, he's like, yo, you're okay.
Speaker 1: She goes, yeah, just to run in my stockings and
Speaker 1: they just jump off a cliff. That's my favorite movie.
Speaker 1: So you got you as a as a man, you
Speaker 1: just got to like, you gotta really just sit there
Speaker 1: and analyze and be like, Okay, that's that's that's clever
Speaker 1: ship to say. And you just have to take it
Speaker 1: from there because it's been entertainment, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's for it's for for nigga telling street tales and
Speaker 1: for a lot of niggas who know the real Noriega
Speaker 1: and what was behind the real Noriega. That that's a
Speaker 1: that's a good ass rap line for a nigga. You
Speaker 1: get me to say that I'm a hustler and I
Speaker 1: know the real Noriega because everybody knows the story behind Noriega.
Speaker 1: You get me if you don't watch the all the
Speaker 1: drug documentaries are all the tales of the government and
Speaker 1: the drugs and all that, you know, Noriega was significant.
Speaker 1: So for rat nigga who speaking from the aspect that
Speaker 1: I come from the hustle game, you get me saying
Speaker 1: a line like Nigga, Nigga, I know the I know Noriega.
Speaker 1: Nigga that the all this nigga this thing? Did he
Speaker 1: know the real Noriega? This nigga getting bookoo dope, you
Speaker 1: get that's what's that. As an average ask nigga who
Speaker 1: popping in his CD, spent to it and he owned
Speaker 1: the streets hustling, he gonna be like, Yeah, that nigga,
Speaker 1: that dash you get me, and that's the effect won't
Speaker 1: have you get me? He won't that effect on the
Speaker 1: nigga who out on the block every day hustling his
Speaker 1: packs and ship making his money from that, and the
Speaker 1: nigga go nigga, I'm hustling nigga. I know the real
Speaker 1: Noriaga nigga. He know he owed me a hundred favors. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know the first thing they're gonna say though, really
Speaker 1: like because he already speaking in the tons of I'm
Speaker 1: the hustler nigga. Nigga, I nigga, I know about key
Speaker 1: lows and work and all that. So when the nigga
Speaker 1: dot nigga, I know the real noriaga nigga, nigga owed
Speaker 1: me a hunted favors. That making nigga go, who for
Speaker 1: real nigga? That nigga danger? Did you get me to
Speaker 1: an average? And that's just a nigga listening to a song.
Speaker 1: That's the effect he wanted them to half exactly. And
Speaker 1: you know what the thing about that he was like
Speaker 1: when Ross had that beet with fifty cent, you know what,
Speaker 1: fifty couldn't pull it off over on him. Ross's music
Speaker 1: was immaculate. Regardless of what you said about everything, all
Speaker 1: the other ship that came back to the music, Ross
Speaker 1: was making way better music than Like I said, Man,
Speaker 1: you know, when you in this game of hip ho
Speaker 1: hop whatever, um, you know, you gotta be able to
Speaker 1: craft music. You get me. It's just not about just
Speaker 1: rapping and shipped and throwing down a record and whatever.
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to craft songs and music. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's fortunate that you know a lot of
Speaker 1: artists who have came along, you know, like Ross, like
Speaker 1: you know, Snoop fifty Cube. You know, they have been
Speaker 1: able to climb to up songs that are ever lasting,
Speaker 1: you know, not just over, you know, not just put
Speaker 1: out some ship that nigger here today and go on tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And so that's what that's what the nature of of
Speaker 1: hip hop and being great for to be in this ship,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to make ship like that
Speaker 1: that's decades, you know, lasting. You did me, not just
Speaker 1: to fly by night ship. So before we get out
Speaker 1: of your dog, because we enjoyed this conversation so much,
Speaker 1: we don't miss running rent at the time. Top five albums, though,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just I'm gonna do my ship like this,
Speaker 1: my top five what were we doing? Gangster ships? Streak
Speaker 1: Ship affected the streets. I'm gonna do this like this,
Speaker 1: the top five artists that affected streat Ship to me,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go school e D. I'm gonna go easy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Totty T and I'm gonna go um
Speaker 1: k RST and Scott lar Rock, criminal minded, great fucking
Speaker 1: lists and great list, all those things, all those boar.
Speaker 1: And that's as far as my introduction to street ship.
Speaker 1: That's what I heard. You get me. I heard PSK
Speaker 1: banging in every hood nigga card on in l A
Speaker 1: from here to fucking New York. Okay, you heard motherfucking
Speaker 1: criminal minded South Bronx banging. That was some hood ship
Speaker 1: to me. You get me. Um, So those are niggas
Speaker 1: Totty t on the West coast. As far as gangster ship,
Speaker 1: the batter Ram, you know, Totty t is is the
Speaker 1: one who introduced niggas to making street records because he
Speaker 1: used to put out T d K tapes and he
Speaker 1: used to wrap over all the motherfucking the whod need
Speaker 1: if it was who d e be? If it was
Speaker 1: fucking uh, He had a motherfucking The battle round was
Speaker 1: off of remember Wrapping Duke. Remember the Wrapping Dukes single.
Speaker 1: That was the first battle round. It was on a
Speaker 1: T d K tape and Tydt wrapped the battle raum
Speaker 1: off a wrapping Duke you give me, and that tape
Speaker 1: just floated around content He had all of like everything
Speaker 1: that was going on in the neighborhoods before Easy, before
Speaker 1: any street motherfucker I knew about. It was Todd Mixed Master, Spain,
Speaker 1: d J M. Wall all in Niggas. They had t
Speaker 1: D capes folding around and it was just nothing but
Speaker 1: hood tales. Everything was about Darryl Gates and the L
Speaker 1: A p D And the drug raids and and and
Speaker 1: the Clucks coming out at night and how they were
Speaker 1: serving in Track Park and all of your like freaks
Speaker 1: come out that night. Day song was called the Clucks
Speaker 1: come out that night and they talked about how they
Speaker 1: were serving in trig New Park and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: You know, it was extraordinary to me as a twelve
Speaker 1: year old kid walking around ride my bike in the
Speaker 1: streets to Compton, and then you go to the hood
Speaker 1: and Nigga's banging his motherfucking tape on his boom box
Speaker 1: and you got this nigga wrapping over the little You
Speaker 1: remember how they used to put the little echo on
Speaker 1: the ship back in the days and ship, so you
Speaker 1: got this nigga rapping about Nigga Nigga five Old came
Speaker 1: through last night. They raided and Gil Gates in the
Speaker 1: battle ram over here and Nigga I'm in the hood
Speaker 1: and they talked about your neighborhood. That was gangs. That
Speaker 1: was then instroduction of street shipped to me so you know.
Speaker 1: And then going over to the East coast Krst one
Speaker 1: because him in Scotland Rock with the bridges over in
Speaker 1: South Bronx and poetry and criminal A did man. Then
Speaker 1: I had the poetry single Man and I thought that
Speaker 1: was the I thought that was the greatest ship ever made,
Speaker 1: like just all these niggas, it's on some different ship.
Speaker 1: You get me. That's what I first thought. But but
Speaker 1: then he has had the album cover with the guns
Speaker 1: and the ship, you know, and I'm like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: some gangster niggas. They was just from the East Coast.
Speaker 1: So that was my introduction to the East Coast street
Speaker 1: ship you get me. So that's what that's what I say.
Speaker 1: That's my contribution. Yeah, man, hey, you close without and
Speaker 1: its intergretting you bring t t up because Todd, who
Speaker 1: don't do the interviews with nobody, has said he's coming
Speaker 1: on the show. Oh that's good. Is an original, you
Speaker 1: get me. And for a lot of people who don't
Speaker 1: know about Todd, you know, he had the Battle Roum
Speaker 1: single that got picked up by Ethic that was on
Speaker 1: each first. But like I said, that ship started out
Speaker 1: on the tv K take wrapping off for Rapping Duke.
Speaker 1: That rapping Duke. That's where sucking the Battle round pains from.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people they go, they jumped to
Speaker 1: the easy eating you know, because easy had you know,
Speaker 1: the world without it wouldn't be no king. But when
Speaker 1: they come to Hampton, gangster rap and the motherfucking originality
Speaker 1: and the origin it started with Toddy t mixed Master
Speaker 1: Spade and just telling the tales of like growing up
Speaker 1: in the hood, you get me. And so for every
Speaker 1: motherfucking nigga who was banging in Campton or l A,
Speaker 1: you had that fucking T d K taping. You had
Speaker 1: that tape and you had them strongs. What they was
Speaker 1: talking about, the hoods, the selling dope, they was talking about,
Speaker 1: the hood rats and the straw b areas, they were
Speaker 1: talking about the clubheads. They basically was giving you a
Speaker 1: description of the city and what was going on before
Speaker 1: Nigga's even made it to whack you give me, So
Speaker 1: you gotta give Todd his his problems? Are you real quick?
Speaker 1: You almost have to say you can almost say that
Speaker 1: T d T and Mixed Masters fade recipes are the
Speaker 1: godfathers a rap in coming. Now. If now nigga's gonna
Speaker 1: dispute that, it was probably you know niggas who was
Speaker 1: putting out ship before them. But to me, that's my
Speaker 1: significance of dankster rap and my introduction to uh, you know,
Speaker 1: neighborhoods and writing on wax. Like I said, because we
Speaker 1: was just little young niggas, you get me. We were
Speaker 1: just little young niggas riding on our bikes in the
Speaker 1: hood whatever. Nobody was talking about what was going on,
Speaker 1: you get me ship that we were seeing on the regular.
Speaker 1: Because it was the ship that was going on. We
Speaker 1: didn't think that was, you know, important enough for people
Speaker 1: to know about nigga. We was getting ship every night,
Speaker 1: that's not new. Niggas was getting blasted on every night
Speaker 1: and ye have niggas was selling crack pieces that if
Speaker 1: you want to be you get me. So we never
Speaker 1: looked at that ship like. But when Todd put it
Speaker 1: on record and he started, you know it laid niggas
Speaker 1: feel like, oh yeah, you know Ship. This is significant
Speaker 1: because now people will get to know about really what's
Speaker 1: going on. And that's just to me how the introduction
Speaker 1: of our gangster ship from Compton started. Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know who was before Todd. It could have been a
Speaker 1: plenty of few and or who knows, But to me
Speaker 1: as an eleven twilve year old, thirteen year old kid,
Speaker 1: you get me, uh, coming out of that air of
Speaker 1: being a kid, you know, watching cartoons on Saturdays and
Speaker 1: ship like that too, you know, being in the backyard
Speaker 1: with niggas and they got douce deuces and niggas got
Speaker 1: forty ounces and you got a nigger on the boom
Speaker 1: box blast and Toddy t talking about watch out for
Speaker 1: the battle ram and you know, nigga's gonna come through
Speaker 1: blasting and you know this how you serve a nigga
Speaker 1: and watch out for the one time and the clucks
Speaker 1: and on that. That was my mother's sucking introduction to
Speaker 1: the hood. Well, I would say, man, you know, even
Speaker 1: if it was somebody before time, they wasn't didn't had
Speaker 1: a significance yet, So to me, Todd is the godfather
Speaker 1: always recognized lin I said no disrespect to no other
Speaker 1: nigga or whatever. You know, Easy was very significant and
Speaker 1: I always, like I said, we want Easy album was
Speaker 1: very significant to you know coming up. Uh, but Totty
Speaker 1: t was you know, and and eight like we've been
Speaker 1: saying this whole show. Don't also had just say no
Speaker 1: something exactly. It was always it was yeah, he could
Speaker 1: tell you I'm serving, but he was also telling you.
Speaker 1: Darrel Gates was coming with that battle ram you did me.
Speaker 1: There was no fucking positive I don't look like you
Speaker 1: get me. But then I'm gonna tell you just say
Speaker 1: no too. And on all that ship. Then I had
Speaker 1: songs like do you want to go to the liquor
Speaker 1: store and party jams and you give me? So everything
Speaker 1: wasn't always negativity, but we still got to give you
Speaker 1: that descriptive ship. You get me because like you said,
Speaker 1: so my nigga told you about how we were serving
Speaker 1: and selling. But then at the end he say, what
Speaker 1: just say no to drugs because look what the funk
Speaker 1: it do to you? You give me and turn you
Speaker 1: into a cluckhead and funked up your family or at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, maybe you're going to do thirty.
Speaker 1: You get me, you're going to do thirty in the beds,
Speaker 1: So just say no at the end of the day
Speaker 1: and then you'll be like still looking at the tower. Well, man,
