Speaker 2: Do they face? Oh yeah, West Coast is in the building.
Speaker 1: We are celebrating fifty years a hip hop and I
Speaker 1: couldn't see no better way to celebrate the West Coast
Speaker 1: versions of the hip hop. It was my brother motherfucking
Speaker 1: worried Mother now Super just performed at the fifty year
Speaker 1: Anniversary Hippie although leminations be clear, because although that was
Speaker 1: like one of the official parties of fifty the Anniversary
Speaker 1: of hip Hop in Yankee Stadium, this wasn't the only party.
Speaker 1: It's a whole bunch of Because I listened to Charlemagne
Speaker 1: the Guard this morning and I'm gonna ask you this question,
Speaker 1: and he was saying that, you know, some people in
Speaker 1: the South felt slighted, people in the West felt slighted.
Speaker 1: Some people in the Midwest felt slighted. But sometimes, like
Speaker 1: when I see an icon like Snoop, to me, Snoop
Speaker 1: represents the whole West Coast, even though he probably does
Speaker 1: it like to everyone else. You know, I'm sure mag
Speaker 1: ten I saw ice Cube, but the one to participate
Speaker 1: as well. But I think that's what the people, the
Speaker 1: gatekeepers make a mistake, like they don't have flow Rider.
Speaker 1: They think that flow Rider will represent the whole Florida
Speaker 1: or the whole.
Speaker 3: Sounds yeah, and I think they tried.
Speaker 1: I think with hip Hop fifty the Yankee Stadium, people
Speaker 1: try to do what try to include everybody that they
Speaker 1: had connections to.
Speaker 2: You understand saying, but I saw that's a long asked question.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about the hip hop?
Speaker 4: Charlemagne had a really good solution for but it was
Speaker 4: dope the way it was done, you know, there at
Speaker 4: the Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5: His solution, it was a good solution.
Speaker 4: He said, you know, let's keep it moving and then
Speaker 4: the South do a special fifty year reunion for the South,
Speaker 4: the West Coast do a fifty year thing for the
Speaker 4: West birthday for the West Coast, just.
Speaker 5: Like, you know, just everybody doing it.
Speaker 4: So it's one, you know, so everybody can feel good
Speaker 4: about it and say, okay, we did that. But even
Speaker 4: though all you motherfuckers is respected, well respected, and you
Speaker 4: are counted with this fifty years of hip hop, because.

Speaker 2: couldn't go, right. I was obligated to a couple of
Speaker 2: other things.
Speaker 1: But I was looking at the footage and I to
Speaker 1: come up, what's that word?
Speaker 2: Come up? Like, you know what.
Speaker 1: That was the first time I'm gonna be honest with you,
Speaker 1: and this is real talk. We are taught sometimes to
Speaker 1: look at a person and say, oh, that's only from
Speaker 1: the West Coast. Yeah, that was the first time I
Speaker 1: was like, look, look at how hips. I didn't say
Speaker 1: West Coast, I didn't say East Coast. I did just

Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean we looked up to all
Speaker 4: of that, you know, me and snooping all of us, uh,
Speaker 4: even way back then. And one of the cold things
Speaker 4: that happened around that time. You know, dre used to
Speaker 4: have tapes when they would do music. I used to
Speaker 4: hear the ship before everybody else. So we used to
Speaker 4: sell candy, which is the Vultron Crew, which was in
Speaker 4: that I talked about in this DJ. The Vultron Vultron
Speaker 4: Crew that was our crew, and uh so what we
Speaker 4: would do was we would work. We would go sell
Speaker 4: candy for this dude named Steve. You know, just a
Speaker 4: bunch of young black kids working for this this cat
Speaker 4: take us out to all the rich areas to sell candy.
Speaker 4: So after that we would go to McDonald's that's from
Speaker 4: the Big Mac Value pack and uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that ship, that ship is cracking.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We would be freestyling and having you know, battles and
Speaker 4: stuff in there.
Speaker 2: You know, even the twins they up in here.
Speaker 4: They was all of us, was even my own baby Poppa.
Speaker 4: When I say baby Poppa Chick, that's baby Poppa right there.
Speaker 4: We all came from Elementary King Park all that. So
Speaker 4: we we l yeah in Longwich, California. And uh so
Speaker 4: we used to freestyle and have fun and rap against
Speaker 4: each other in there, beat boxing the whole nine. So
Speaker 4: I remember Rized Dre song. It was a song called
Speaker 4: the Cabbage Patch. So these niggas in there busting like
Speaker 4: am upfugers. So it came to my turn. I was like, well, well,
Speaker 4: I was rolling down the street with my mind at ease.
Speaker 4: I had my top pool back to Waka Field to breach.
Speaker 4: Somebody called my name. I looked around. It was a
Speaker 4: freak on the bus stopped flagging me down.
Speaker 5: So I'm wrapping. They was like waring you are They
Speaker 5: heard a song and they was like, oh, nigga, you
Speaker 5: you you wrong? But ship I was still I was alright.
Speaker 5: I wasn't.
Speaker 4: Snoop was all. It was dope with Steve Snoop, the twin.
Speaker 4: They was dope. They used to freestyle, they ass.
Speaker 1: So it was a famous story about like how Fat
Speaker 1: Joe Fat Joel had a time where he could have
Speaker 1: signed himself or he signed punt and then everyone said
Speaker 1: how honorable Fat Joe was for doing that, But then
Speaker 1: everyone says that he wasn't the first one.
Speaker 2: Everyone says it was you.
Speaker 1: With Snoop that you had a chance to kind of
Speaker 1: like sign, but you said you wanted to put Snoop first.
Speaker 4: Well, I was always pushing for Snoop, you know. I
Speaker 4: mean I was pushing for all of us at the
Speaker 4: same time. But I was more of like I was
Speaker 4: like the who who could I think of?
Speaker 5: They used to be?
Speaker 4: I was just I was like very aggressive with with uh,
Speaker 4: with working with Snoop. You know, I wanted him because
Speaker 4: I'm dope, But he was he's dope.
Speaker 5: But you know, I'm just a story I'm a storyteller.
Speaker 4: I make it simple but to where people can relate
Speaker 4: to it real easy. And Snoop was busting all he
Speaker 4: was an MC was just that he was all of
Speaker 4: the above, and you know, I just that was just
Speaker 4: my thing. I just wanted to push hard for him
Speaker 4: to be successful, successful because I know if he blows
Speaker 4: up and be successful, he gonna snatch us up to it.
Speaker 4: The same time, even though we had a demo tape
Speaker 4: all together to the group.
Speaker 5: Yeah you know this this that was two on yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And that's just that's just.
Speaker 2: How it was.
Speaker 5: Man, just wanting to push, just wanting to win and.
Speaker 1: Now, but that's honorable, like most people don't do that.
Speaker 1: Like most people actually they're selfish. Yeah, and they'll say, man,
Speaker 1: put so.
Speaker 2: But how you know.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I did and I felt
Speaker 1: great about my life was Fat Joe asked me to
Speaker 1: get in contact with jay Z for him, Like no
Speaker 1: one gets in contact with jay Z like.
Speaker 2: But I he was my one favorite with.
Speaker 1: Jay Z and I gave it to Fat Joe and
Speaker 1: then my life kind of changed from that because I
Speaker 1: guess God was testing me kind of made me feel
Speaker 1: like unselfish. So do you feel like that when you
Speaker 1: put snoop in front of you?
Speaker 2: Oh, this is your plan, you know.
Speaker 5: I'm that was.
Speaker 2: All the way through.
Speaker 4: It's just what came natural and plan for him to
Speaker 4: blow because that was my best friend and just pushing
Speaker 4: for my best friend and wanted to see him be
Speaker 4: successful because he his name was was was bigger than
Speaker 4: than me and Snoop Rock snow Brock Skate. I'm so
Speaker 4: glad they started calling me, what's that little yellow motherfucker
Speaker 4: on the character now with the snoopy snoopy and uh
Speaker 4: uh the look was stop.
Speaker 5: They started calling me. I was mad that mother said,
Speaker 5: now it ain't no goddamn wood stot.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's let's let's let's let's let's bounce around
Speaker 1: a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, right.
Speaker 4: I had an incident like that where I'm gonna just
Speaker 4: say that's just when I did Indo smoke on the party,
Speaker 4: just the soundtrack. Brothers, Uh, you're saying that the samples

Speaker 2: Ship that's me.
Speaker 5: So it was like, yeah, I said, ship doesn't mean
Speaker 5: we won't you.
Speaker 4: So I was like, damn, I was. I was tripping out.

Speaker 4: So I was like, Ship, I'm gonna produce all because
Speaker 4: he was my guy. You know, that was my guy,
Speaker 4: like my artist type, you know. And uh that was
Speaker 4: that was an example of of you know, I tried
Speaker 4: to push him before myself thinking about yourself.
Speaker 5: I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking about myself.
Speaker 4: I knew I could get my shot by producing mister gam.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, let me ask you because now when I
Speaker 1: listen to the radio, I turned on the radio, I
Speaker 1: hear versions of Nick.
Speaker 5: Dag Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Well all due respect to these new artists, I believe
Speaker 1: the first person I've really heard go into depth singing
Speaker 1: on the record was t J.
Speaker 3: Swan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Juice Crew.
Speaker 4: He got on another day saying he got he did
Speaker 4: a tribute to Biz.
Speaker 1: He was up there and after that the only person
Speaker 1: but who was hitting melodies because Swan was kind of like,
Speaker 1: I want to say, really.
Speaker 3: You know, people that were singing before didn't know what.
Speaker 1: Was actually nothing you can hear he went the church
Speaker 1: with his mom and you can hear that, and then.
Speaker 2: He was above He was what does that called ahead
Speaker 2: of your time?
Speaker 1: He was so ahead of his time that people now
Speaker 1: are hitting his melodies right now and they don't even
Speaker 1: know it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, did you know what had that? That? Uh? Another flight?
Speaker 5: No old that's that's yeah? Whoever wrote that?
Speaker 2: Hold up.
Speaker 5: Ship?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, big yes day yesterday? But did you did you?
Speaker 1: Did you think like, because like I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: to call out anybody's name when I like God blessed,
Speaker 1: when I hear tea pain, I hear future, I hear
Speaker 1: rod wave, I hear like, who's these other guys out there?
Speaker 1: Even like the Travis Scott smelling and all that. Did
Speaker 1: you think like Nate's legacy would be this powerful?
Speaker 5: Definitely?
Speaker 2: He knew it.
Speaker 5: I knew it. He was just he was different.
Speaker 4: It was different than anything like that was like how
Speaker 4: Snoop and Drake is. That's how me and Nate is,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? So anything I would bring
Speaker 4: up it. No, it don't matter what it was. I
Speaker 4: could put on some ship like a jazz tone that's
Speaker 4: like off balance and just crazy. He had come up
Speaker 4: with some ship to that ship. He had some scatting
Speaker 4: to that ship. You know, he'd do all kind of ship,
Speaker 4: but he'd be it'll be in a gangster way, you know,
Speaker 4: whether it's about a woman, he'd be scatting to talking
Speaker 4: about a woman, you know what I mean. And just
Speaker 4: he was just just dope. Anything that that you could
Speaker 4: put in his face. He would turn that ship into
Speaker 4: something to.
Speaker 3: It because there was nothing soft about that way.
Speaker 4: Saying he meant that ship was on there. He telling this,
Speaker 4: telling the real like the hardest man. It's one of
Speaker 4: his songs.
Speaker 5: I don't know if too many people heard that, but
Speaker 5: it's him. Uh, he's talking to third person.
Speaker 4: But the the person that's the third person is a gun.
Speaker 4: It's a gun telling him a story, and he's telling
Speaker 4: the story about itself at the same time, you know,
Speaker 4: because it's a little big man.
Speaker 5: Don't you see me lying here? Pick me up what
Speaker 5: he said, I'll make your life easier. God damn it.
Speaker 4: I can't remember the song off the words, all of it.
Speaker 4: But he say, after you finished doing what you doing,
Speaker 4: toss me and be gone. But just a gun talking
Speaker 4: to toss me and be gone.
Speaker 5: It's cold. You gotta hear this called the hardest man.
Speaker 4: But like I said, he was incredible man. And it
Speaker 4: was things like that that he could do along with
Speaker 4: being on any type of genre music and making that
Speaker 4: Ship Ahead record and they was incredible.
Speaker 2: Space of noise in the.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: So you know, one of the beauty parts, beautiful parts
Speaker 1: about me being an artist is me like to sit
Speaker 1: there and watch a producer create. Yeah, what is something
Speaker 1: that you need to create when you're in the studio?
Speaker 2: What do you need? Uh? Shit, what's the environment? What
Speaker 2: does it be like?
Speaker 4: I have me some beer, uh but uh some tequila.
Speaker 5: Uh, just you know, musicians and you know, just my friend. Actually,
Speaker 5: what I do is I call my friends later to
Speaker 5: come up.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: So I sit in there pretty much by myself for
Speaker 4: a while. Then I bring in the musicians to help
Speaker 4: out with parts that I know I can't get, and
Speaker 4: I just sit in that motherfucker all just just just
Speaker 4: putting everything together. And then I'll call everybody to come up,
Speaker 4: and then when they come in, I'll start playing ship
Speaker 4: and and it lets me know if I got some banging.
Speaker 5: But that's pretty much it. I give me it. I
Speaker 5: swore me a joint.
Speaker 4: I got the musicians there haveing some beers and tequila
Speaker 4: and food, and I just it just takes me to
Speaker 4: a take me into a in my records, in my
Speaker 4: turntable and my Mexic just sitting there vibing out and
Speaker 4: getting ideas. I love that ship too. I love it
Speaker 4: over the hell.
Speaker 5: I thought I didn't miss the studio to the other day, Yeah.

Speaker 5: can't take it. I give the ship away, like take
Speaker 5: this ship.
Speaker 2: Tired of it?
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you, because you know, I
Speaker 1: was fortunate enough to be around when Death Row was around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Fortunate enough to see the transition from how everyone moved
Speaker 1: when they was on Death Row to kind of like
Speaker 1: grown men now, like everyone is kind of like I
Speaker 1: don't want to say adults, yeah, right, because everybody was young.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a cooler word. Yeah, mature right, right,
Speaker 1: So what is the difference? What is where's warrg more
Speaker 1: comfortable when your guys was on the road, Because remember
Speaker 1: when you when you guys was affiliated death Row. I
Speaker 1: know he was always on death Jam, but you guys
Speaker 1: affiliated death Row. This this was the highest of the highest.
Speaker 1: This wasn't the highest of the West Coast. It was
Speaker 1: the highest in the world.
Speaker 2: Right. Did you have more fun then or you haven't
Speaker 2: more fun now? Uh? Where it's different.
Speaker 5: I had more fun then.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I have a ball now, but
Speaker 4: I had a I had a ball back then because.
Speaker 5: It was fun and dangerous.
Speaker 2: I gonna think it's funny dangers. That's just some shipping

Speaker 4: Them niggas is tripping, you know. But some some of
Speaker 4: his homeboys had always tell me, like warning they own
Speaker 4: something else, you know, just kind of stay out the way.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you because because to me, you
Speaker 1: was inside up and that was like an outsider because
Speaker 1: you was wasn't signed to death Row technically right at
Speaker 1: one point again I'm outside of it. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: but this Death Row looking like the funnest fucking place,
Speaker 1: and the off the check like it went from it
Speaker 1: being like like like like like Queis' from Left Rock City,
Speaker 1: but pue Bridge is not too far away, right, bris
Speaker 1: is a wild ass neighborhood. Let me just tell you something.
Speaker 1: It's the funnest time life. It's a dangerous ass, but
Speaker 1: it's funn as fun to me looking from the outside,
Speaker 1: and I would look at that throw and be like,
Speaker 1: this is like a fun ass fucking lady. These guy's
Speaker 1: got perms, these guys CADILLACX. But then at what point
Speaker 1: did it go from not to stop being fun?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 2: I think?
Speaker 4: I think once the money started rolling in, you know,
Speaker 4: that's when everything kind of like started to change a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 3: Sorry, they didn't want to sign you at Death Throw.
Speaker 5: Ship, I don't I didn't get signed to him.
Speaker 3: They so, you know, I don't know what because there
Speaker 3: have been a thing that because you're at death Jam
Speaker 3: that they were like, well you should have been over here,
Speaker 3: like could.
Speaker 4: That after after after I got you know, the motherfuckers
Speaker 4: wasn't fucking with me. I was like, Ship, let me
Speaker 4: get out and do my motherfucking thing, you know, because
Speaker 4: it just, you know, it wasn't It wasn't right, you know.
Speaker 5: But like I said, we had a ball. Don't get
Speaker 5: me wrong.
Speaker 4: I have fun with Sug, you know a lot of
Speaker 4: you know, we had a lot of fun. We just
Speaker 4: bumped heads a few times. That wasn't cool.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: Another incident was where when we was young in the
Speaker 4: game at the Solar Studio, you know, and they pulled
Speaker 4: out the contracts and I was just like myself, I'm like, ship,
Speaker 4: you can't just sign this ship studio in the studio,
Speaker 4: so you can't go and sug.
Speaker 2: Just comes and brings out car.
Speaker 5: Well, we had been doing, you know, doing our things,
Speaker 5: so it was time for a chronic or no, huh
Speaker 5: are we working on a chronic? We was?
Speaker 4: What was we doing the chronic? I think we was
Speaker 4: doing the chronic there. So I told Snoop. I was like, ship,
Speaker 4: don't sign that ship, you know, don't sign that contract.
Speaker 4: Get a lawyer, you know. And one of my constituents
Speaker 4: went in there and told him that I told him
Speaker 4: not to sign it. So when he heard that ship,
Speaker 4: here he.
Speaker 2: Goes they.
Speaker 5: Then he came and he grabbed me and slammed me
Speaker 5: up against the wall.
Speaker 4: And uh, he was just like, blood, you told him
Speaker 4: not to sign that contract. And I was like, man,
Speaker 4: you better get your hands off me.
Speaker 2: He'll tell you.
Speaker 4: I said, I said, get your hands off me. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna call all my homeboys because back then I didn't
Speaker 4: care shit. And uh, I had one of my little
Speaker 4: buddies with me named Cisco. Cisco was a gunner, but
Speaker 4: he didn't have no gun on him. But I wouldn't
Speaker 4: have wanted him to shoot him or nothing like that,
Speaker 4: to do anything like that, because I wasn't you know,
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna let this mother let him shoot him.
Speaker 4: But he was that hot headed. But he couldn't do ship.
Speaker 4: This motherfucker this big and uh so I thought I
Speaker 4: was getting away. I wanted to hit the elevator. I
Speaker 4: thought I was getting away, but I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4: That's just we bumped heres a couple of times. So
Speaker 4: you know, that's probably probably what led up to me,
Speaker 4: uh not being a part of the whole thing, you know,
Speaker 4: because you know, when it was time to go on tour,
Speaker 4: everybody was straight, had they tickets. You know, I'm charged up,
Speaker 4: I had luggage and ship ready to go. I'm like, ship,
Speaker 4: I'm going with y'all, and uh I didn't have ship.
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't have nothing. At the airport, it
Speaker 4: was like you're not going. You know, you ain't going.
Speaker 2: So I was fucked up, like you wasn't going because
Speaker 2: you was with that jam or it was.
Speaker 5: Like, nigga, you're not going. Like even though I'm damn
Speaker 5: i'ven't been fighting with these niggas.
Speaker 4: We didn't have fun together all. That's like, nigga, you're
Speaker 4: not going I'm like, wow, you know who and who
Speaker 4: gave me a ride back gave me a ride home
Speaker 4: after that was uh member Breeze MC Breeze gave me
Speaker 4: a ride him and my homegirl tomorrow. They gave me
Speaker 4: a ride home from the airport that day. No, no,
Speaker 4: this is my homegirl tomorrow and from that day.
Speaker 2: So you were stranded on the road and they gave
Speaker 2: back home.
Speaker 5: I didn't have no way to get home, but she came.
Speaker 5: She was up there.
Speaker 4: She was up there because I think Breeze was gonna
Speaker 4: sign with death ro But so I asked him, that
Speaker 4: was my homework. She used to hang around us all
Speaker 4: the time, so you know, I asked her for a ride.
Speaker 4: So jumped in the car with them, and from that
Speaker 4: point on, I just said this, this ain't gonna work,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 5: And then I asked Dre. I'm like, what's going on,
Speaker 5: Like what's up?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 4: He was like, you got to be your own man,
Speaker 4: you know, you just got to do your own thing.
Speaker 4: So I was just like fucked up, Like I ain't
Speaker 4: with Snoop, I ain't with Dre. I ain't with dads corrupt,
Speaker 4: none of my homeboys. They all out having fun doing
Speaker 4: this and doing that, and I had to go back

Speaker 4: same crate that we was using on the chronic. I
Speaker 4: had my credit records. I had my mixer and my turntable,
Speaker 4: my MPC drum MPC sixty drum machine which I still
Speaker 4: got all that ship to this day, and just started

Speaker 6: On?
Speaker 5: My brother?
Speaker 4: That ship was it was cold and and then that
Speaker 4: led the light to kick it and then it led
Speaker 4: to other other records that I produced for him, and
Speaker 4: that ship, like I said, Pock and Breed, was the
Speaker 4: first motherfucker to give me my shot at at at uh.
Speaker 5: Production wise.
Speaker 4: And by the way, remember I told you about the
Speaker 4: chain that got snatched. Still got that motherfucker to this day.
Speaker 2: Put that ship up.
Speaker 5: I ain't a busting now that people don't think that
Speaker 5: I'm a bust. I was just in a bad situation
Speaker 5: when ship.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, did you early on production wise, did
Speaker 3: you feel that you needed to have a different sound
Speaker 3: than dre.
Speaker 5: Most definitely.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, was that something conscious of you?
Speaker 3: Like I gotta sound different.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to create my own lane and not
Speaker 4: have people say, oh, the reason why he doing this
Speaker 4: is because he with Dre and this, that and this.
Speaker 4: But my music here developed from my father, uh my dad,
Speaker 4: Warren Warren Warren Jr. Now my dad married his mother
Speaker 4: you know when we when I was a young kid,
Speaker 4: and so my dad he used to play music for
Speaker 4: me all day, Like we would sit in his house
Speaker 4: because he would come pick me up for my mom's
Speaker 4: and he would take me and just listen to music
Speaker 4: all day, which was jazz. So that pretty much was
Speaker 4: was was instilled than me. And that's what comes out
Speaker 4: whenever I do production. I always have like a feel
Speaker 4: good to whatever I do. And that's just what I'm about.
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 4: I love to feel good, you know, ship, and that's
Speaker 4: that right there is what what made my style what
Speaker 4: it what it what it is and what it was.
Speaker 4: And and you know, I didn't never try to be
Speaker 4: like Dre, but he taught me the game as far
Speaker 4: as like the MP yeah him in one eighty seven
Speaker 4: from Above the Law both taught me taught me you
Speaker 4: know how to work the n PC sixty. And he
Speaker 4: also taught me how to splice tape, put that ship
Speaker 4: together with the alcohol and all that ship.
Speaker 5: He taught me a lot of ship.
Speaker 8: Your young niggas don't know this ship. Your young niggas
Speaker 8: got it easy. Yeah, you're already impressive one. But record,
Speaker 8: goddamn tape and alcohol.
Speaker 2: No, that's all good.
Speaker 4: And the love, the love that he showed me was
Speaker 4: the love I showed back by going and searching for
Speaker 4: all those records, a lot of the records that we
Speaker 4: use on the chronic, you know.
Speaker 5: So that was that was my part. I would go
Speaker 5: get the records.
Speaker 4: I would take them, sample them up, and then I
Speaker 4: let him here and I'm like, Drake, listen to this.
Speaker 5: He'll listen.
Speaker 4: He like that ship is hard. If he liked it,
Speaker 4: he would take that ship and he would change it up,
Speaker 4: do a couple of things like let me ride.
Speaker 2: I played.
Speaker 5: That was a break record that I bought.
Speaker 4: I bought the break record to that in Torrance at
Speaker 4: a right down the street from Audio Achievements, and it
Speaker 4: was a break I still got the break record to
Speaker 4: this day.
Speaker 2: Of some parts the third grade lunch money. I could
Speaker 2: tell I might.
Speaker 4: It was a little piece in there that that uh
Speaker 4: that bun boom boom boom boom. Let me while I
Speaker 4: was doing I was doing this thing, and let me right.
Speaker 4: It was all on that that one record, and Drake
Speaker 4: took that ship and pieced that motherfucker together.
Speaker 5: When I heard it again, I was like, God damn.
Speaker 4: Even like like the skits, like the these nutskit, that
Speaker 4: ship was all like organic. I called my homegirl and
Speaker 4: told her, I said, shit, you know what you doing today?
Speaker 4: She was like, I'm getting my nails done and da
Speaker 4: da da. I said, well shit, I said, hey, watch
Speaker 4: your name get.
Speaker 2: At you and she was like who I said these.
Speaker 5: And uh.
Speaker 4: She went crazy when she's all nigga, she know, she
Speaker 4: started tripping them. But that was an organic skit. I
Speaker 4: told Dre, turned the mic on and I just we
Speaker 4: just did that just in the studio one day, just
Speaker 4: sitting there and then just a lot of the skits
Speaker 4: like the you really don't understand, don't you. In order
Speaker 4: for us to make this thing work, we got to
Speaker 4: get rid of the pimpster. You know all that that
Speaker 4: was a record, that that record that was mind you.
Speaker 4: What I did is I bought all the black black
Speaker 4: exploitation albums. It was from a place called as a
Speaker 4: record turns from off off a Maylor Road. So that
Speaker 4: little part in there was a way I was feeling
Speaker 4: like me and him as brothers. He probably he don't
Speaker 4: know that, but this is just something that I have
Speaker 4: had in my wow, in my heart, like we really
Speaker 4: don't understand, do you. In order for to make this
Speaker 4: thing work, you got to get rid of the pimpstuff,
Speaker 4: you know that skip right, There was something that was
Speaker 4: something that I was feeling, and he used that much, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, but it was that's how I felt with
Speaker 4: you know, with him. But like all the stuff that
Speaker 4: we did, like we did a gang of dope ass ship,
Speaker 4: you know, and like I said, Dre is a motherfucking genius,
Speaker 4: like in the studio, and he ain't he He's got
Speaker 4: no chaser. He gonna tell you straight up, fuck that
Speaker 4: ship whack. He gonna say that ship is whack.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: He ain't playing no games, you know. But you know,
Speaker 4: I had had a great time, you know, just doing
Speaker 4: the chronic with him, you know. And I actually taught dad,
Speaker 4: you know, from him teaching me him in one eighty seven,
Speaker 4: teaching me to me teaching dazz and dads also helped

Speaker 4: hard here. So it wasn't no, it wasn't a winner.
Speaker 4: It was like they just they just just broke it up,
Speaker 4: like we're gonna have to continue this ship.
Speaker 5: So I went over to corrupt. I said, look, Nigga,
Speaker 5: let me get your number.
Speaker 4: Took his number and I called him probably about maybe
Speaker 4: about a week later, and I told him, I said, Nigga,

Speaker 5: and then Corrupt just doom boom boom, boom boom. It
Speaker 5: was Bobby I think it was Bobby Callwell. Might have

Speaker 5: boom boom that Nigga told that mother up. So I
Speaker 5: let Drake, I let dre and shug him here. Boom
Speaker 5: they heard him, and then that's when they signed Corrupt
Speaker 5: had Broomfield and them.
Speaker 2: They came over.
Speaker 5: That was his big homies from from sixty.
Speaker 4: They came over and they talked to death Row and
Speaker 4: made that whole deal happen right there. Because I did
Speaker 4: the demo with Corrupt, That's how they discovered him.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, because I've seen an interview with
Speaker 1: big U. Big U says that big U was home
Speaker 1: Corrupt with another sign to death Row.
Speaker 2: You think that's that's ship.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but ship, you know, money talking bullshit walk.
Speaker 2: Right right right.
Speaker 5: I mean, he could have got some money if he
Speaker 5: was in, you know, if he was the main guy,
Speaker 5: win him.
Speaker 4: They got to get your money because at the time,
Speaker 4: let me in, blood ain't got nothing to do with
Speaker 4: that bring.
Speaker 1: That's actually my question because see us from the East coast.
Speaker 1: We didn't understand you guys having war, right, that's what
Speaker 1: and then us us adapt into that like this understanding
Speaker 1: that that's that's your culture. Did death Row was something
Speaker 1: like that especial because when we seen n w A,
Speaker 1: we see all blue. Yeah you know I'm saying, then
Speaker 1: we seen like I think there was like I forget
Speaker 1: a blood gang and it's all blood like we had
Speaker 1: never seen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, bloods and crip.
Speaker 2: I think I believe that Ruthless had was down with Ruthless.
Speaker 4: Were they were bloods, well they was, they was kind
Speaker 4: of blood tribal bloods. Yeah, they had some That was
Speaker 4: because Roscoe was from he's a crip. I know him
Speaker 4: from Loan and uh that that I think that that, uh,
Speaker 4: if he was out there at that time, he would
Speaker 4: have been able to get a nice check out of it.
Speaker 4: And still that probably would have kept a lot more
Speaker 4: of the balance instead of it was like more of
Speaker 4: these dudes like tripping on this what this side of
Speaker 4: the red room. She wouldn't have been none of that
Speaker 4: ship because he would have been he had more, you know,
Speaker 4: more control of it, you know, because here he's a
Speaker 4: gangster that that know, the politics, because that was more.
Speaker 1: Of an l a thing, right, asking you that what
Speaker 1: I mean by bloods and Long Beach is famous for
Speaker 1: being just yeah, it's all I heard.
Speaker 2: You don't see no red out that. No, I mean
Speaker 2: you you you got some.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's bloods that live in Loan Beach, you

Speaker 4: ship back then, you know, you know, and I could
Speaker 4: go after them. Now you should see the royalty check
Speaker 4: that they seen me from Sony. Uh that should be
Speaker 4: thirty five per cent? How the fuck is it thirty five?
Speaker 4: This motherfucker went gold? And you know by now the
Speaker 4: motherfuckers is beyond gold. Now ship that ship probably so

Speaker 4: look at what the motherfucker wrote. Uh, things just ain't
Speaker 4: the same for gangsters. He wrote that that's one of
Speaker 4: my favorite fucking for dre Right.
Speaker 3: We got to clear it up because people don't know
Speaker 3: what we're talking about.

Speaker 5: Jay Z wrote, how the fuck can you write this
Speaker 5: for this nigga?
Speaker 2: And the ship sounds like it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like good point, good point.
Speaker 4: And then the motherfucker went diamond plus diamond plus diamond
Speaker 4: something and he's.
Speaker 5: Talented, you know.
Speaker 4: And I ain't, like I said, I ain't, I ain't
Speaker 4: taking ship from game. Game is dope too. Game is dope,
Speaker 4: but it's just it's it's they it's different, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like like you say, he is a
Speaker 4: student he's a student gamer, student of the game too.
Speaker 2: It's just Eminem.
Speaker 4: I promise you that motherfucker wrote that ship like he
Speaker 4: was inside the dre body in his head.
Speaker 5: And that ship was so motherfucking hard.
Speaker 4: I was like, god damn, so when you asked me that,
Speaker 4: I had to give it to him on that one
Speaker 4: because that ship was dope.
Speaker 2: Game is dope too, Don't get me wrong. The ship
Speaker 2: he was doing was was hard too.
Speaker 1: And please forgive melly mail, pleasebody.
Speaker 4: But I guarantee you if he would have if he
Speaker 4: if he would have, you know, it would have it
Speaker 4: would have been more of a of a everybody would
Speaker 4: have been more like, okay, wait a minute now. If
Speaker 4: he would have did the his disc over that uh
Speaker 4: uh uh.
Speaker 5: Sometimes I want the uh uh, God damn, what's the
Speaker 5: uh uh uh boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 2: No, not Eminem.
Speaker 4: If was wrapped over the message doing his ship back then,
Speaker 4: the people probably be like, oh ship, wait a minute.
Speaker 5: But the record he did was like, nigga, you're doing
Speaker 5: some ship way back, you know, come back in that era.
Speaker 5: Ain't I ain't listening it, I ain't dising it.
Speaker 4: But he or he should have grabbed one of these
Speaker 4: young motherfucking producers, and I got on their ship to
Speaker 4: make it, you know, make it more of at.
Speaker 2: I ain't saying it ain't, you know it ain't.

Speaker 2: What do you think something like that? You that look?
Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong. Melly Miller's my nigga. I love
Speaker 4: Melly Mall. That's a o g everything. But he he
Speaker 4: should have did it over a different type of music
Speaker 4: and made it more simple to where, okay, now we
Speaker 4: got something going here. Now okay, it could be another one,
Speaker 4: another part too, because it's all fun and games.
Speaker 5: You're saying he did it so old school like it's
Speaker 5: only like the old. Yeah, he went super old school
Speaker 5: with it. He went super old school. And he should
Speaker 5: have just came up, come up to this era and
Speaker 5: get down on this type of ship. That ship might
Speaker 5: open up a whole nother motherfucking lane for you with
Speaker 5: these young niggas. You know what I mean, you do
Speaker 5: some bus over the ship. He should have rhymed with

Speaker 5: not rhyming, drill shit.
Speaker 4: Rhyming like he rhymed the nigga did the message that
Speaker 4: ship that he know how to he know how to write,
Speaker 4: so you if you take your time, wouldn't be simple,
Speaker 4: would it, and just break that ship down? But you know,
Speaker 4: Melly Mail is my nigga. But that that that that uh,
Speaker 4: he probably should have, ain't I ain't. You know, he

Speaker 4: up to air to where you know where it'll gravitate
Speaker 4: the young crowd to come in.

Speaker 1: Melly Mail would have hit you and said, I need

Speaker 4: it's a cold story of three three different stories but
Speaker 4: ended up coming all together, coming all three different journeys
Speaker 4: coming together and and and creating some ship that would
Speaker 4: be crazy. You know that that that changed a lot
Speaker 4: in the music industry as far as a new sound.
Speaker 4: And we was inspired as well by four one five,
Speaker 4: which was Richie Richard, D Lowe and the jig and
Speaker 4: that I can't pronounce it all the way with Richie Richard,
Speaker 4: he probably like nigga, you tripping out? Yeah, the Barry
Speaker 4: four one five inspired us to That's why we was
Speaker 4: called two one three Wow. Yeah, because of because the
Speaker 4: bear huh that's big, Yes, indeed, yeah, and uh that

Speaker 4: and the jig and the I can't I still can't
Speaker 4: pronounced it, but those was my guys.
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed.
Speaker 2: Now now let me ask you because.
Speaker 1: During these times that we were going through, the big
Speaker 1: thing was like the defund the police, right uh huh.
Speaker 1: And now they announced in l A that like actually stealing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not a crime. I don't want to say that
Speaker 1: they're saying it's not a crime, but they're saying it's
Speaker 1: like it's like the police won't even react, like like.
Speaker 4: That ship that ship is crazy as a motherfucker. I
Speaker 4: don't I don't understand what what what this, what this
Speaker 4: is for? But I think that that it's making us
Speaker 4: look fucked up, you know, like like like we're out
Speaker 4: of control, like like they always stop, uh, you know.
Speaker 4: And and and potentially I think somebody gonna get killed
Speaker 4: doing that ship.
Speaker 2: And I see and I see people riding in the mall.
Speaker 2: Yeah now they just running out grass.
Speaker 1: And then when I look, it's always in like yeah,
Speaker 1: California area because.
Speaker 4: That's where it's just California, yeah wow. And and it's
Speaker 4: just it's like it's like it's a uh, I mean,
Speaker 4: I really don't understand it. But but somebody going they're
Speaker 4: gonna what's gonna happen is the owners of those stores
Speaker 4: they're gonna start striking back and they're gonna start shooting
Speaker 4: these motherfuckers.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you.
Speaker 4: I see this ship and then and uh, it's like
Speaker 4: why would you guys leave and leave open season like
Speaker 4: that for these kids to.
Speaker 6: Do this, you know?
Speaker 4: And and at the same time, some of them motherfucking
Speaker 4: parents like in my era, because it's those are that's
Speaker 4: our off springs out there doing you know, doing this ship.
Speaker 4: These parents got to step up, step back up again
Speaker 4: and start in stealing motherfucking morals and to these families
Speaker 4: because this ship is getting out of control, and it's
Speaker 4: like it's it's like what is the whope, what's the
Speaker 4: future of of if somebody got to get get this
Speaker 4: ship under control? You know, we we we got to
Speaker 4: get a leader again. We don't have leaders like we
Speaker 4: had back in the day. We got to get leaders out,
Speaker 4: leaders again. You know, I'll be checking out the dude
Speaker 4: doctor Umar. Yeah, he he's a he's a good guy
Speaker 4: that him, like doctor Umar, fairy Khan like guys like that.
Speaker 4: And we don't have like that type of stuff no.
Speaker 4: More like like like we had Martin Luther King's and
Speaker 4: all of the you know, the the uh dig Griffy,
Speaker 4: and we had a bunch of people that could speak
Speaker 4: for us. We don't have a whole bunch of people,
Speaker 4: like a whole bunch of people like back then.
Speaker 5: We only got a few people that can speak.
Speaker 4: And then it's hard to get these teenagers to understand
Speaker 4: and to get America to understand that we're not trying
Speaker 4: to turn them against you. We're trying to make it
Speaker 4: We're trying to get our people right and get ourselves together.
Speaker 4: We're not trying to uh bash all you motherfuckers and
Speaker 4: this and that and this. Look at this ship. These
Speaker 4: motherfuckers are running out of store. So of course I'm
Speaker 4: appreach out here to all the youth to try to
Speaker 4: change their shit so they don't be locked up in
Speaker 4: the system, a jail system to where it's big time
Speaker 4: billionaires and shit making money. You know what I mean,
Speaker 4: that's what that's where all of the kids is gonna
Speaker 4: go if their parents don't get this shit together, or
Speaker 4: or we need to get with California and get out
Speaker 4: who's ever control to get that ship?
Speaker 5: They fixed that ship.
Speaker 2: Because it's the whole state of California.
Speaker 1: Because I read this morning that there's a federal building
Speaker 1: of San Francisco they closed down. Serious, they closed down

Speaker 5: of a dying breed, you know what I mean? Because
Speaker 5: he he he was.
Speaker 4: He was bringing that ship that that he was doing
Speaker 4: it in the new era like we was doing when
Speaker 4: we wanted everybody to know who he was and what
Speaker 4: was about and telling our story.

Speaker 4: by in the house, just getting everything ready, went to
Speaker 4: the store, got every start getting stuff ready. Heard a
Speaker 4: horn honking in front of my house. So I looked
Speaker 4: up at the house. Excuse me, y'all. I looked out

Speaker 5: my shit.
Speaker 2: And he pulled up. He surprised me, said rhyme and
Speaker 2: just wanting. He straight surprised.
Speaker 5: He straight surprised me, and so we you know, he
Speaker 5: came and hung with me, hung out.
Speaker 2: He let me draw that motherfucker.
Speaker 4: I was like, damn, even though I had I had
Speaker 4: a six hundred, but he let me draw that Bentley.
Speaker 4: They won't to Bentley was Ro's voice. Let me draw
Speaker 4: that motherfucker. And we're just having a good time, barbecue
Speaker 4: and having fun, and the fight was coming on. He
Speaker 4: came to fuck with me for the fight instead of
Speaker 4: going to Vegas. So he never went to He never
Speaker 4: went to Vegas. He didn't go off top. So we
Speaker 4: watched the fight. We're doing everything, watching the fight, having
Speaker 4: a good time. We was hanging out, you know, some
Speaker 4: females and shit around. They was hanging out, everybody killing
Speaker 4: and just having a good time, you know, just and
Speaker 4: then he got a you know, just like like a
Speaker 4: gang of homies, gang of homegirls.
Speaker 5: And then it's like then he had the next tail
Speaker 5: back then remember the mother.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know what what kind of next
Speaker 4: tail he had, but he had the mother the fucking
Speaker 4: could go that whatever it was, it was hitting him
Speaker 4: all the way from what was going on from Vegas.
Speaker 5: So he was they was like, we could hear the ship.
Speaker 4: And then he started getting calls and ship and they
Speaker 4: was telling him that Tupac got shot and da da
Speaker 4: da and this, so snoop, we I kicked everybody. I'll
Speaker 4: get the fuck out of everybody, get out of here,
Speaker 4: and he took off. That's when he went to Vegas
Speaker 4: to go see him, to get out there to see
Speaker 4: what was going on. And that's when he went out there,
Speaker 4: when he went to the hospital. But I had if
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have talked to him and and and got
Speaker 4: him to come over to my house, he probably would
Speaker 4: have been right there in the car with them, yep,
Speaker 4: and been shot too as well.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: But that I talked to him, you know, I talked
Speaker 4: to him, and uh, you know, I didn't think he
Speaker 4: was gonna come. But he can surprised the ship out
Speaker 4: of me.
Speaker 1: Because I see a lot of people say that that
Speaker 1: that was like the downfall of death role like like
Speaker 1: like like meeting meaning the getting involved in too much
Speaker 1: gang politics.
Speaker 2: Was that something that affected you as well?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Well, shit, it didn't affect me, just far as I
Speaker 4: didn't affect me because I was doing my thing with
Speaker 4: you know, we was in a whole nother We were
Speaker 4: doing a whole other thing, right. But I think that
Speaker 4: that was the start of the downfall, you know because
Speaker 4: right after that then should went to jail for what
Speaker 4: three four years, three to five or something like that.
Speaker 4: He went to jail for a minute, and shit just
Speaker 4: started going downhill, Like this ship started going downhill.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 4: I wasn't around and all up in it to really
Speaker 4: you know, going to detail of how it was going downhill,
Speaker 4: but all the stuff that we were seeing going on,
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, this ship is folding, you know,
Speaker 4: niggas getting killed and motherfuckers like it was.
Speaker 5: It was a gang of shit going on.
Speaker 2: But because it went from like I remember me compare
Speaker 2: to Depth Jam.
Speaker 1: I remember me going to Depth Jam and me feeling
Speaker 1: like a sign of relief because I had to be
Speaker 1: in the hood.
Speaker 2: I didn't have to be on the block.
Speaker 1: I had to sell drugs or whatever, and I would
Speaker 1: be in and in the record label. I still could
Speaker 1: roll dice, I still would get my haircut, I still
Speaker 1: buy weed, but it was it was safe.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like I remember, like like I said, me hearing the
Speaker 1: stories in the beginning of the death Rods.
Speaker 2: Uh and you guys having a sanctuary.
Speaker 1: And I know I kind of asked you this a
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, but do you remember like when you
Speaker 1: just like besides you having your own thing, do you
Speaker 1: remember when it like it sorted sort of changing where
Speaker 1: it's just like I know we said the money earlier,
Speaker 1: but like you know, because the studio is a creative space.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: I remember me hearing like there was dogs in the studio,
Speaker 1: like pit bulls and.
Speaker 2: All of that. All that ship was in it was
Speaker 2: it was some crazy ship but depth.
Speaker 4: But it's it started changing the more new motherfuckers came
Speaker 4: to be on the team as far as Shug team,
Speaker 4: and you got different influences and people influence and Shug
Speaker 4: to where it was like making him think that he
Speaker 4: was like a super dup gangsters. So he started moving
Speaker 4: in a gangster way instead of he forgot about the
Speaker 4: business part. He was still shark with the business. Now,
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, he's shark with the business. But
Speaker 4: it started that that gang element started taking over that business.
Speaker 2: Yes, so.
Speaker 4: That's when shit started going going left, you know, instead
Speaker 4: of just strictly sticking to this just saying look, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna I want you niggas to learn this ship that
Speaker 4: I'm gonna teach aull so you guys to start businesses.
Speaker 2: Not go kill or not not. I don't mean kill.
Speaker 2: I'll take that back and I killed, but go.
Speaker 4: And not to go and beat motherfuckers up and us
Speaker 4: going around terrorizing. Right, Let's do it like this, and
Speaker 4: that would have prevented a lot of that ship making
Speaker 4: these motherfuckers in the businessman instead of them making you
Speaker 4: into a gangster.
Speaker 5: And it went the other way instead of it that way.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. You have a relationship with HARRYO.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Harry Oh was my guy, yes and d. I
Speaker 5: used to talk to him when I was a pup
Speaker 5: as well. I probably was.
Speaker 2: He was like the original owner of Defro.
