If you know the history of 106 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: hip hop before run DMC, you gotta remember how the 107 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: hip I've all started. It started off. They're taking a 108 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: little the break part of the R and B records, right, 109 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: and so you had Grand Master Flash that we went 110 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: on the constume and all that they had. The band 111 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: J Master Jay technically was the band. He brought that 112 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: DJ Elliman so he flipped a whole that B boy 113 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: style adidis no shoelist everything. He shifted the whole. Bro. Listen, 114 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: It's very difficult to see one artist or group shift 115 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: the culture. I've seen it now. I've seen on dm CD. 116 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: But I was a kid, But I've seen that ship 117 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: happened to us personally, the Fuji's when we did our 118 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: first album because we were stuck between seeing life. You 119 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: always either want to be the first or the last. 120 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: You never want to be in the middle. Now we 121 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: talk a Columbia columbiad. So on the first album. We 122 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,559 Speaker 1: were influenced by Leading Is the New Schools Bulls, Nickins Basic. 123 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: It was that like smooth we ain't got so we 124 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: was on that. I think, I'm sorry, y'all. Yeah, yeah, 125 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: let's go. So when we did the first album, we 126 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: were on that zone. So we were in the middle, right, 127 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: So by the time we dropped, we're getting towards the 128 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: end of that cycle. We never forget. Man, when I 129 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: knew we were shot in the head, so get shot 130 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: in the head meeting, not literally, but me like, it 131 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: felt like it felt like, yo, we were dead on 132 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: a rifle. The first single, I'm still not clear, like 133 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the first single we put out, it was good or 134 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: not good. So we had the first single called Booftbox, right, 135 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: and it was like all this crazy ship right wait, 136 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: boot was the biggest. So I'm saying, so this is 137 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: the very first album. So remember Columbia. Remember this this 138 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: um product manage name Tyres Harris. I do remember the name. 139 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: She was nas Okay.

So we were like the step shot. 142 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: So the woman never really gave us no love, but 143 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: nas Elmatic was like that kid in the building, like 144 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: the greatest right, So by default Tyrese has to deal 145 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: with us, and she's, man, I gotta deal with these 146 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: kids and all that.

And this is the first album. 169 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Was the first album when before it came out a 170 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: year prior to that. I'm going back to what you're saying, 171 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: how long did they record that? So I think things 172 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: like this, we got signed whatever year it was that 173 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: we got signed, and so the album didn't drop, so 174 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: like a year and a half two years later, which 175 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: was normal back then, which was normally people just you know, 176 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: created drop, right, So you gotta remember. So now we're 177 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: coming in the era of Snoop seven, right, So we're 178 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: coming in that whole noted by natures kind of like 179 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: starting up, fade out a little, you know what I'm saying. 180 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: And you guys are from New Jersey, so that was 181 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: like comparison at first, right, was still noted by nature, correct, 182 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: do you guys from Brooklyn, Jersey? But I mean it 183 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: was all of us in the area, So it was 184 00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: us like Lord of the Underground was a lot of 185 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: it was that whole type of that whole thing, you 186 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But we got caught out there, 187 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: so we were like, yo, and the label was like, 188 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: you guys gonna have to figure this ship out. Like 189 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: if this ship doesn't work, wrap for you guys. So 190 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: they're like, go promote the ship. So we knew the 191 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: album was done. I knew that. So we're like, look, 192 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: the only thing we got going for ourselves, we won't 193 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: put a motherfucking show on. And that's what kept us alive. 194 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: It's the show because we know we had Lauren who 195 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: could sing anything, some gangster ship and make it sound 196 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: beautiful because auto tune was not popular back then. So 197 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: back then when the person was a singer, there was 198 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: actually a real singer. Is that what you're getting to 199 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: prof I'm getting my ball because it's true though, Like yeah, yeah, 200 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: there was no order tune back there. I mean, I 201 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: don't know if it was better or not, but there 202 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: was no order tune. It was kind of like singing 203 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: you're off key, sing until you back and you can't. 204 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: You can't, you can't, you can't. So but we knew 205 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: she was that chick when it king just singing. So 206 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: we had the band and we were just ripping the 207 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: shows and no, no, because that's so amazing. Like I 208 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: recognized I know you personally, but I recognized you from 209 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: off top from this interview. How humble you are, right, 210 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: But at the same time, do you know that this 211 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: Foodie's was probably that that was like the greatest, like 212 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: it was some of the greatest moments in hip hop 213 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: because of your transition. What I mean by that was 214 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: you had like the Queen of England bumping the Foodie's 215 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: at one point, you had, like you know, just people 216 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: who just were supposed to denounce hip hop. What we say, 217 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: I'm working with the fujis that that would look like, yeah, 218 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: I was almost not black, like at one point it wasn't. 219 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't the Queen with Princess Diana.

People didn't look at Michael Jackson 225 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: like he was black. I know, we transcended, but that's 226 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: international music. International came like and then like you got 227 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: the Black Eye peas that that came after that.

I know that. I know that. 560 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: I've seen him the fire once. I never producer, And 561 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: so he started he was engineer, the engineer exactly. Then 562 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: he started his label with Fields It no Ted Phild 563 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: Ted Phils with the big and that guy that just 564 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: see that. No, no, no, that's so anyway, So they 565 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,479 Speaker 1: started interscoopl and I think one of the as artists 566 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: they signed was pop. So Jimmy wanted to sign the Fuji's. 567 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: That's why he signed Black Eyed Peas too, we said, 568 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: so we went with I felt like Rough Files would 569 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: have been the best choice for us, So I made 570 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: it a matter of fact. They gave us the least 571 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: amount of money. Rod foles On to give us a 572 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: buck twenty five.

Let's break that down. So I 669 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: used to when we were in England because England so 670 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: in in England at that time, and I think we're 671 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: still probably in the top three, top four, but we 672 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: were second as far as the biggest selling American artists 673 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: behind Michael Jackson. Right. So I used to funk around 674 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: every time I go to England. I'm doing some many 675 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: of the radio.

You know. 677 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: So the hotel I used to stay at is called 678 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: Royal Garden, and the Buckingham Palace is literally across the lawn, 679 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: and she used to come to Royal the Royal Garden 680 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: to um work out. Okay, I've never seen her, but 681 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: people would say, oh, she comes all the time. Whatever, right, 682 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 1: bow self type of you know, just cool out ship whatever. 683 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: So I'm shotting, shoting, shot out.

Snapped back then, but she 688 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,439 Speaker 1: came backstage and she gave me a nice little letter, 689 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: you know, declining being on the video.

You know, I was trying to kick it 701 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: to her, you know, like real subtle, like a you know, 702 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: maybe you could give me a number, you know, But 703 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: she came backstage and gave me a letter, you know, 704 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,479 Speaker 1: so I was excited for me. I've seen recently Cardi 705 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: b got a letter from Bono. I guess that's what 706 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: rich people do. They write like that's all. Yeah, I 707 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: didn't get a letter from nobody Cross, so don't worry. Letters. 708 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't remember. I've just been so high. But it's see, 709 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 1: the thing is this you gotta remember, like I grew 710 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: up in an era where it was not cool to 711 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: be Haitian, Like I know, nigga's usually act like they're 712 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: from Paris, Jamaica, from Jamaica or from fucking Montreal, but 713 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: it was never hated. So I come from that error 714 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: and so to see that, Yo, this music has gotten 715 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 1: to the level where people having now different interests in 716 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 1: Haiti and Haitians. That's a beautiful thing. Bro, that's to me. 717 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: That's my because bro, I remember when Age for came out, 718 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: it was like it came from Haitians.

Okay, yeah, yeah, you said it was 839 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,760 Speaker 1: my choice, you know, as a social experiment. So only 840 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 1: twenty five of the people who are homeless or what 841 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 1: they're called chronicle homeless mean that they need some form 842 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: of help or assistant from the government or for mentor institution. 843 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 1: A regular folks like us who just lost their job, 844 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 1: don't have a family member to go to or whatever, 845 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 1: and they go down there to just trying to figure 846 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: the situation.

So 1092 01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: happy and I'm very happy. But at the same time, 1093 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: he was busy, you know, he was busy. So I 1094 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 1: found myself, you know, I put out a record with 1095 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: them Goes, and I didn't really have that same push 1096 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 1: I have a Saturday. It was a vibe. It was 1097 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 1: a vibe. So um, I just looked back at the 1098 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 1: year and was like I could have you know, like 1099 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,080 Speaker 1: I could have done more.

I can't sit here 1102 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 1: and not do something. So I made the decision to 1103 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,040 Speaker 1: do the show.

What's just the first record? Don't. 1137 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,720 Speaker 1: I don't have no beef for Joe. I just had 1138 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 1: to let him know something, Well what what what I 1139 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,639 Speaker 1: literally happened for y'all even to like like have any 1140 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: type of static at all. I just felt like he 1141 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: came out cactor when he was talking about L. A. Read, 1142 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,639 Speaker 1: which is the person that signed me. So I ain't 1143 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: gonna respect that. Oh yeah, So so then, um, now, 1144 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,920 Speaker 1: did did you make a record? I didn't make a record. 1145 01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 1: I just told him, next time you say something about L. A. Red, 1146 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,639 Speaker 1: I'll run into him and punch him in his mouth. 1147 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: Just make some of that that. I didn't know how 1148 01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,600 Speaker 1: we got for that at all, that's cool, no beef no, 1149 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 1: and he tweeted it up. You know, we didn't clear up. 1150 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 1: He just tweeted something about me. And then when I 1151 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,519 Speaker 1: got on the BT, sci Fi said, don't go Joe 1152 01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 1: button instead of everyone. So let's let's actually um because 1153 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: like we're on the opposite side of what he does. 1154 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 1: And it's still it's all love, of course, but you know, 1155 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: we like to pig up our people like a person 1156 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 1: is on a drink jam. So far of us, we 1157 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,400 Speaker 1: we that's all model. We'll stop to say that that's 1158 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:32,520 Speaker 1: he's the opposite. But it feels like the new generation 1159 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 1: doesn't respect him as opposed to us. We do respect. 1160 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: New generation respect who Joe or Joe don't respect? Can 1161 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 1: you can you because we've we've seen this disconnect, right, 1162 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:51,160 Speaker 1: can you like explain like why Megos went like him 1163 01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 1: or or something like that? Neither. I mean, the Megos 1164 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 1: thing came from him talking about Yaddi. You know Y'adi's 1165 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 1: QC and that's quality. Yeah, And then I feel like 1166 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 1: the young cats like myself and the rest of us 1167 01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: who feel some type of way about him, it's just 1168 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:11,160 Speaker 1: because he don't show us the respect that we showed 1169 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,400 Speaker 1: the O G s like, I respect Joe Budden as 1170 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,560 Speaker 1: a lyricist. Whatever, you had one hit song, but we 1171 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 1: know the lyrics that you had, like you fire. Just 1172 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 1: give us young guys our credit too, But he always 1173 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,679 Speaker 1: discredited us or down talking to us like y'all supposed 1174 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,200 Speaker 1: to be the O G s.

I'm saying, like, why are you 1177 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 1: not even us our credit? Is gonna be honest, It's 1178 01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: kind of interesting to hear you say that, because as 1179 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,519 Speaker 1: an O G sometimes we don't hear that from me 1180 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:51,120 Speaker 1: younger than man.

I can tell you 1182 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 1: why you don't hear that, right, Okay, it's because we 1183 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 1: get caught up and what we remember when we were 1184 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 1: coming up.

Man, this ship that they're doing it 1186 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 1: really what hip hop, right, So we find ourselves doing 1187 01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 1: the same ship when it's like, yo, you're passing the 1188 01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,240 Speaker 1: torch them nigger is doing anything. As a matter of fact, 1189 01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you this error. It's a 1190 01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:26,520 Speaker 1: better fucking error than the error. As far as like entrepreneurs, 1191 01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:33,600 Speaker 1: it's entrepreneur because we was back in the day the 1192 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,680 Speaker 1: coming Yeah and then were free and they all need 1193 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 1: this ship. They're making the money. Yo. When we had 1194 01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,599 Speaker 1: to signed up bullshit deal with a label, they fucking 1195 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: own us. Now you have to sell listen, let me 1196 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 1: tell you something. The only reason I could say that 1197 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 1: the Fujie Seen Seen money because we're so so much 1198 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,840 Speaker 1: ridiculous record that it was kind of like everybody way, 1199 01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,880 Speaker 1: by the way, let me tell you something. The album 1200 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 1: cost a hundred and seventy five sorry, a hundred and 1201 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: thirty five thousand dollars to make. Columbia only spent about 1202 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 1: two hundred grand because they're like, oh, ye're gonna you're 1203 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 1: gonna probably getting the top. Cham didn't do the hip 1204 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,040 Speaker 1: hop drop. The ship kept climbing climbing. By the time 1205 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,439 Speaker 1: they went to spin marketing money with already like two 1206 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:23,040 Speaker 1: millions you feel baby, So it was like dot on, 1207 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: this is why we made money because we sold so 1208 01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 1: many riccords and they gave it each of us five 1209 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:31,200 Speaker 1: million dollar check like the recoup was nothing. It cost 1210 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: the school I just want people to understand the business 1211 01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 1: sense of what the funk he just saying it's sold 1212 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:47,559 Speaker 1: twenty four million, it cost a hundred and thirty five 1213 01:13:47,760 --> 01:14:00,120 Speaker 1: three hundred, marketing was legendary, MINIMALI that's you know, is 1214 01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:07,000 Speaker 1: exactly how big so I spend. So I spend a 1215 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 1: hundred dirty any day to make So I say this 1216 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 1: to say, though I'm going back to my point. My 1217 01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,640 Speaker 1: point is is that for me because people always ask you, 1218 01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 1: what do you think about what's going on right now? 1219 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I love it? I mean obviously. And then when when 1220 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,200 Speaker 1: they ask you what's going on, they're saying the claiming 1221 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:27,080 Speaker 1: of music or the content of music? I think both. Okay, continue, um, 1222 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,720 Speaker 1: now you can make an arguments for both. Could you 1223 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 1: could say, listen, there's things I feel like, listen, in 1224 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 1: our generation, we have an advantage that they didn't have, 1225 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,599 Speaker 1: and I can say the same thing about the advantage 1226 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,479 Speaker 1: that they have. Now something, can you just play the difference. 1227 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,599 Speaker 1: What was the advantage that we had with the advantage 1228 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 1: they have them? I believe that the advantage that they have, well, 1229 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:53,680 Speaker 1: I love about this generation. It's all about is the 1230 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 1: ship piping or not? And our generation, who's the fucking 1231 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:03,360 Speaker 1: producer who you down with? Who fucking sign all that 1232 01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 1: you got all this bullshit? You knew that. You know 1233 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:14,360 Speaker 1: you're listening forever. Produce your ship, Timberland, producer ship? Did 1234 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 1: producer ship? If you didn't have that ship, motherfucker's didn't 1235 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,120 Speaker 1: sunk with you here. They just donna give a funk? 1236 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 1: Is this ship? You feel me? Now? On that instance? 1237 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 1: Gunshot for that bro. You can't because it's all about 1238 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,960 Speaker 1: the art, whether you like it or not. It's about 1239 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,639 Speaker 1: the art you can create. Now, I could, I could 1240 01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,200 Speaker 1: make the argument that in that generation we probably have 1241 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:43,560 Speaker 1: more icons, we produce more icons because it's and you 1242 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 1: know what you said, it letting Darry, So I do 1243 01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:47,640 Speaker 1: what I wanted to cut you off, but I do 1244 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 1: also want to act. So it doesn't make it more 1245 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,320 Speaker 1: because like you said, are we made icons? So now 1246 01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: a lot of times these people are making just for 1247 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,840 Speaker 1: that one moment. It doesn't matter though, that's because you 1248 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 1: know what, let me say something to you.

But 1466 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:17,799 Speaker 1: it's also luxury. Just thinking about it, it is luxury 1467 01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,920 Speaker 1: because when you're a rap and I got to speak 1468 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:23,840 Speaker 1: from a rapper's point but I don't know from R 1469 01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:26,559 Speaker 1: and B perspective, but from a raptmer's point of view, 1470 01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:29,599 Speaker 1: like you always go back in and do that next 1471 01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:32,840 Speaker 1: album to get up, to hit the road to get up, 1472 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,320 Speaker 1: and then you and that cycle who keeps going. But 1473 01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 1: what happens when that part of your life just racist 1474 01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:44,080 Speaker 1: where you just say album, You don't have to do 1475 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:47,360 Speaker 1: it because you already left. But he reached a certain 1476 01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:51,559 Speaker 1: threshold where he's exploring, and that's that's what you're already 1477 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:58,120 Speaker 1: talking about different world. You know, so listen because the 1478 01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:02,040 Speaker 1: world is gonna say pride, where was the next time? Right? 1479 01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,479 Speaker 1: So you were at that level where love where it's 1480 01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:12,000 Speaker 1: like yeah, I mean listen, look, bro, I tell people this, 1481 01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to be funny when I's say this, 1482 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,400 Speaker 1: but I probably got more money than your top ten 1483 01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 1: favorite rappers out right now. And it's not it's just 1484 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 1: because I invested my money. Always said Prize was the 1485 01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:36,519 Speaker 1: business guy the food is that correct? Period? I mean 1486 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 1: I was always the nig like I know one thing 1487 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:48,560 Speaker 1: once I left the hood, but no circumstances, I'm not 1488 01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:53,800 Speaker 1: going back there. The trajectory from being to the hood 1489 01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:57,519 Speaker 1: to where I go, I couldn't let that ship back there, 1490 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:02,160 Speaker 1: you feel me? So I made sure like yeah, and 1491 01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:04,680 Speaker 1: I try to teach you know, whoever wants to hear that, like, Yo, 1492 01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:08,880 Speaker 1: this is not ever going to last forever. So you 1493 01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:12,800 Speaker 1: gotta worry about the bell curve in your life. You 1494 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:15,640 Speaker 1: gotta say, I'm gonna keep this, I'm gonna trick this, 1495 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:19,439 Speaker 1: I'm going to invest us because you never know when 1496 01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:22,000 Speaker 1: that time comes to slope. So when people sitting here 1497 01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:25,120 Speaker 1: and seeing me driving the race, like you said, they're like, 1498 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 1: they're like, it's a bespoke. By the way, excuse me, 1499 01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:35,040 Speaker 1: but though the strict language that's spokes me where you're 1500 01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 1: getting custom may yet but but but but you don't 1501 01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 1: even know what that means. I gotta say, my life, 1502 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,320 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's just a beautiful thing to be 1503 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:48,559 Speaker 1: able to know that because of his hip hop thing 1504 01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,519 Speaker 1: calls a hip hop. Yeah, I'm always gonna revert back 1505 01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,599 Speaker 1: to you don't remember, say I went to college, right, 1506 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,880 Speaker 1: so I dropped out my senior year at the beginning 1507 01:32:56,920 --> 01:33:00,040 Speaker 1: of my senior year. Label was like, yo, that I 1508 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 1: make a decision, You're going rogue or whatever, like damn. 1509 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 1: You know. Obviously my mom hated that because she Haitian, 1510 01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,759 Speaker 1: you know, went to yell like how you don't finish 1511 01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:15,320 Speaker 1: and get your degree? Right? But I knew this is 1512 01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:19,960 Speaker 1: where if I didn't have hip hop, I'm gonna say 1513 01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,240 Speaker 1: this to you. If I didn't have hip hop, I 1514 01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:26,920 Speaker 1: probably would have graduated from college getting to finance work 1515 01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,960 Speaker 1: in Wall Street. Right now, at this point in my life, 1516 01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,639 Speaker 1: I probably would have been married, I had three kids. 1517 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:35,360 Speaker 1: I would have hated my life, hate my wife, hate 1518 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 1: my kids. I would have you know, I'm the saying 1519 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:43,760 Speaker 1: because like hip hop, like I'm able to do, I 1520 01:33:43,880 --> 01:34:07,400 Speaker 1: definitely see us. I don't know what got me, but 1521 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it was. What I'm saying, is I 1522 01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:12,120 Speaker 1: know what you mean. You know you said something very interesting. 1523 01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:18,639 Speaker 1: As an artist, when you when you're putting music out 1524 01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:22,360 Speaker 1: there or you're creating them, you're acting you basically you 1525 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:26,160 Speaker 1: putting your nakedself out there. Right, It's kind of like 1526 01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 1: like like the guy who made this bother. If I said, man, 1527 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:33,400 Speaker 1: I hate this fucking Blueberry ship, he's so much sleepy, 1528 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:37,080 Speaker 1: he cool, we don't right, But if you say I 1529 01:34:37,240 --> 01:34:40,160 Speaker 1: hate this artist right hand, you start trolling am to 1530 01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,320 Speaker 1: take that face off the artist is he may act 1531 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:46,080 Speaker 1: like he don't care this is it affects him a 1532 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:48,240 Speaker 1: little like damn, why the fund this motherfucker don't like 1533 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:52,120 Speaker 1: my ship? Right? This thing? You don't care if he 1534 01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:56,639 Speaker 1: doesn't like it. Most of your pop wouldn't like organic blueberry, right. 1535 01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, I'll tell you, I'll 1536 01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:08,320 Speaker 1: tell you. Please please remember your point, please please move 1537 01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:10,400 Speaker 1: in real point. But I tell you a funny story. 1538 01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:13,639 Speaker 1: One day, one day when I was first like about 1539 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,840 Speaker 1: to become a compona nor yea. The dude came on 1540 01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:22,000 Speaker 1: the train. I was going to Unique Studio and he 1541 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:25,680 Speaker 1: was leaving from the train stop from Unique Studios. So 1542 01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,200 Speaker 1: he stood there and he took off his McDonald's hat 1543 01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:31,200 Speaker 1: and he took off his ship and he was just 1544 01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:35,000 Speaker 1: just like boom, and we were just talking and I 1545 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,439 Speaker 1: was getting off the stop. And I would have treated 1546 01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 1: my life a year later to be like to be 1547 01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:46,720 Speaker 1: like that, like once I took off my hat. I 1548 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:51,080 Speaker 1: wanted to like not be nor we normal. I didn't 1549 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:54,679 Speaker 1: know I could never turn that back on. I didn't 1550 01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,080 Speaker 1: know that I did. Like, but let me where you 1551 01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,760 Speaker 1: at right now in your life? Right? Yes? Think about this. 1552 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:07,840 Speaker 1: For seventy five years straight, the number one genre music 1553 01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:12,559 Speaker 1: selling wise was rock and roll worldwide, seven or five 1554 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,680 Speaker 1: years straight. They will crown last year June they got 1555 01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 1: the crowned by hip hop. So not hip hop is 1556 01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:24,000 Speaker 1: the number one genre. It's hip hop rock country, didn't 1557 01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:28,160 Speaker 1: pop or pop country something like that. Right, knowing what 1558 01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:31,880 Speaker 1: you know now and where you at now, would you 1559 01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:37,360 Speaker 1: do you feel like you have any regrets? Plenty of regrets. 1560 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 1: Let me regret. Listen, will my father always told me 1561 01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:45,400 Speaker 1: you have to take both good and bad in life, 1562 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 1: because what happens is you can't just love the good, right, 1563 01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:51,160 Speaker 1: because if you just love the goods, you love the bad. 1564 01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:56,639 Speaker 1: The bad is what helps you. That's that says They's 1565 01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:00,120 Speaker 1: say you gotta love hell al right, meaning you have 1566 01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:04,000 Speaker 1: to action go through how to come out. But what 1567 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:06,679 Speaker 1: I'm saying is, when you look at what you're doing 1568 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:13,160 Speaker 1: right now, right, you probably never sought after your first 1569 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 1: cause you want your second curve right now, maybe about third. 1570 01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:25,320 Speaker 1: But gay, I have an old SPAN's career. Yeah, I left, 1571 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:41,439 Speaker 1: y'all mean no problem. I mean podcast for I'm so sorry. 1572 01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:49,080 Speaker 1: Don't you feel like this is the best thing that 1573 01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:52,880 Speaker 1: ever happened to you? Best music? Hip hop? I mean 1574 01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:58,519 Speaker 1: yes hip hop? I'm bro listen. Yeah, even with all 1575 01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:03,680 Speaker 1: my travels probably got tim and to travel right, and 1576 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 1: all my success, all my accolades and everything, I'm still 1577 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:11,720 Speaker 1: got that gonna suck. I'm still marvel at this what 1578 01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:15,280 Speaker 1: harp hop have led me to be that I agree 1579 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 1: you know say I'm saying to you, And I don't 1580 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 1: want I don't want to keep being laboring the point. 1581 01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:26,439 Speaker 1: But I just always want to give things, man, because 1582 01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:32,160 Speaker 1: it's just so beautiful. Slow platform, slow flat. That's you 1583 01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:39,000 Speaker 1: guys do that with aggression. Now that's real ship because 1584 01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:43,519 Speaker 1: the thing about it is that's where where where where 1585 01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:48,439 Speaker 1: ship is where music can actually bring with what you 1586 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:51,200 Speaker 1: so and then you gotta think about what music actually 1587 01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:56,559 Speaker 1: is like if you ever seen like Mosaic, are all 1588 01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:01,559 Speaker 1: these picassos, they start with a white paint, right, that's 1589 01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:05,639 Speaker 1: what music is. Music. We start with nothing. It starts 1590 01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:09,000 Speaker 1: you to be the guy can be in the studio. 1591 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:14,880 Speaker 1: Maybe he's not, but the beach just plays. And we 1592 01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:21,000 Speaker 1: just think of this and you raise something out of nothing, 1593 01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:27,840 Speaker 1: and that should always be saluted. They should always be respected. 1594 01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:33,880 Speaker 1: And I just want to say as a musician, as 1595 01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 1: a person who who they quote unquote saying, you know 1596 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:41,599 Speaker 1: who sat in the locker room. That's the reason why 1597 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,760 Speaker 1: me and my partner DJ he offends to the right 1598 01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:47,599 Speaker 1: of me. Um, they say that is why the dream 1599 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:51,400 Speaker 1: Champs work. But because we actually he's actually a real DJ. 1600 01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 1: This is this is not no fucking DJ, that fucking 1601 01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:02,600 Speaker 1: he still won't funk with the rock pever. I just 1602 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:08,640 Speaker 1: find this guy.

Okay, 1678 01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:34,799 Speaker 1: so let's just throw us out there. Your first memory 1679 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:39,400 Speaker 1: of hip hop was you got jump. You had a 1680 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:42,280 Speaker 1: negative impact. I would not think that that would be 1681 01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:46,160 Speaker 1: in profession, I feel, because you know, like a mechanic, 1682 01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:48,720 Speaker 1: like if his first job as a mechanic was like 1683 01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:54,880 Speaker 1: getting his thumbs like it's just like I'm good care, 1684 01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,360 Speaker 1: but you actually got dumb and said i'n't going to 1685 01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,760 Speaker 1: funk with this. It was just it was that you know, 1686 01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:06,080 Speaker 1: you knew it was something. Man, It was that that 1687 01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:08,200 Speaker 1: hip hop? It just I didn't know what it was, 1688 01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:11,479 Speaker 1: but you funked it like and then you start, you 1689 01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,320 Speaker 1: start doing the breakdancing all that ship and when you 1690 01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,799 Speaker 1: this is when I knew hip hop was gonna be crazy. 1691 01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,320 Speaker 1: It's when for the very first time I saw Michael 1692 01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,160 Speaker 1: Jackson perform on Motown twenty five. I didn't know who 1693 01:46:23,200 --> 01:46:24,800 Speaker 1: the fun he was because I was a young kid 1694 01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:28,080 Speaker 1: and I don't know what multi total five is. Moretown 1695 01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:31,680 Speaker 1: twenty five is when Michael Jackson first performed Billy Jean 1696 01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:35,920 Speaker 1: to the world Billy and you get the More. That 1697 01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:40,080 Speaker 1: was the first time that hip hop says that one. 1698 01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:45,880 Speaker 1: But that kid, you've been going for first sing along. 1699 01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:55,679 Speaker 1: I've been trying. You got you never had, So Michael 1700 01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:57,960 Speaker 1: jacks can do the moon walk. No, I've seen Michael 1701 01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:00,680 Speaker 1: Jackson the More.

That's what I had 1712 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:43,400 Speaker 1: to get the funk out there around there. I didn't 1713 01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:45,320 Speaker 1: even know what I thought that thing was like, because 1714 01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:48,680 Speaker 1: New York is like rough, but it's like rock. Do 1715 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:52,320 Speaker 1: you know what's rough? For? Urbanton is like nobody don't 1716 01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,840 Speaker 1: care Jesus.

He says, 1720 01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,360 Speaker 1: after we do our prayer, I don't know. I'm sure 1721 01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:11,960 Speaker 1: a lot of you guys probably would sleep. But I 1722 01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:16,400 Speaker 1: witnessed the most incredible thing in my life. Whytching. Michael 1723 01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:19,400 Speaker 1: Jackson performed last night where his brothers was so incredible. 1724 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:22,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you guys a whole day off. Y'all 1725 01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:27,400 Speaker 1: can leave off the prayer, and he left school principle 1726 01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:37,040 Speaker 1: the principle I don't know what to say. I'm just saying. 1727 01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying that's that's between Run DMC and at school. Yo, listen, 1728 01:48:46,240 --> 01:48:49,639 Speaker 1: that's the impact. I remember this is Abler came out 1729 01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:57,960 Speaker 1: definitely there. I was seven to seven. You wasn't paying it. 1730 01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:02,240 Speaker 1: You was in the hoods four alright, So I was 1731 01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:09,760 Speaker 1: alive seven. But but the point I'm saying to you 1732 01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:14,080 Speaker 1: is is that seeing what I've heard was run DMC 1733 01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:17,680 Speaker 1: and seeing anybody doing this thing, and then able to 1734 01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:21,880 Speaker 1: see it by this guy who's supposed to be this 1735 01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:26,200 Speaker 1: mega star taking a piece of our culture.

And around the corner right always 1766 01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:29,360 Speaker 1: darks before dawn, like it's always darking before dawn. So 1767 01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:37,160 Speaker 1: don't regret. I don't even when it's when I'm facing 1768 01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:41,240 Speaker 1: my darkest moments, man, my darkest hour man. I always 1769 01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:45,519 Speaker 1: say there's a reason behind us. But in the whole 1770 01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:49,120 Speaker 1: I left your career, is there anything you personally could 1771 01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:51,599 Speaker 1: have said, you know what, I wish I would did 1772 01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:55,800 Speaker 1: this part? Yeah, you could say that, but you know why, 1773 01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:58,880 Speaker 1: to keep things together. I don't know. Maybe it was something. 1774 01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:01,960 Speaker 1: I know where you're going with this. You mean, do 1775 01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:06,040 Speaker 1: I wish the Foojis would have lasted? You always say like, oh, 1776 01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:09,400 Speaker 1: maybe you could have done an It wasn't supposed to 1777 01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:12,720 Speaker 1: be like that, bro, like the way this ship ended. 1778 01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:15,599 Speaker 1: Because you gotta remember something, during the whole Foojie ship, 1779 01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:18,920 Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't on the Titanic, so I just 1780 01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:23,719 Speaker 1: made sure that my class. You're gonna wait too fast. 1781 01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:32,599 Speaker 1: It's because you went there. You said the whole time 1782 01:52:32,920 --> 01:52:35,920 Speaker 1: on being in the foods, you knew he was on 1783 01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:42,800 Speaker 1: the Titanic. Everybody knows that's here. The Titanic definitely hit 1784 01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:47,040 Speaker 1: the iceberg. Yes, I had my life best on. So 1785 01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:49,479 Speaker 1: you knew that from like from the bank that from 1786 01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:56,080 Speaker 1: day one you knew that this will sink eventual, hundred percent, okay, 1787 01:52:56,280 --> 01:53:00,559 Speaker 1: So that continued. What the fund was that you would 1788 01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:06,599 Speaker 1: look at that, look at that that you know I'm skilled. 1789 01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:13,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't prepared, but I also was prepared. So you're 1790 01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:17,040 Speaker 1: saying that you knew that it's a success liner, right, 1791 01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:21,360 Speaker 1: because you guys actually reached a certain amount of success 1792 01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:32,000 Speaker 1: and regret not not that he said he knew no regrets. 1793 01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,599 Speaker 1: Based on that we've got out of the noret, correct. 1794 01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:40,840 Speaker 1: So you see the success, How do you how do 1795 01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:47,480 Speaker 1: you visualize that this success? Me stop or me alternate? 1796 01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:55,120 Speaker 1: Because I knew. I knew it was a bit morbid 1797 01:53:55,479 --> 01:54:00,400 Speaker 1: what was happening inside of the whole cave, if you will, 1798 01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:07,479 Speaker 1: you know, So it was inevitable something was gonna happen, right. 1799 01:54:07,800 --> 01:54:11,720 Speaker 1: So that's the thing about success. You gotta prepared. You know, 1800 01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:15,720 Speaker 1: you hope for the best, but you planning for the worst. Right, 1801 01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,519 Speaker 1: So I knew, That's like I said to you, because 1802 01:54:19,600 --> 01:54:22,280 Speaker 1: if I didn't know, because it was so easy to 1803 01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:27,080 Speaker 1: be in that whirlpool and thinking, like Joe, this is 1804 01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:30,479 Speaker 1: gonna last forever. Right, And let me tell you what's 1805 01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:35,160 Speaker 1: deep about at the end of the day, everyone, the 1806 01:54:35,280 --> 01:54:40,240 Speaker 1: only person you can really count on is yourself, and 1807 01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:42,720 Speaker 1: it's harder when you ain't the group. Because the thing 1808 01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:45,920 Speaker 1: is you may have a vision like I had a 1809 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,120 Speaker 1: vision because I put the ship together when Van Lauren 1810 01:54:50,080 --> 01:54:52,960 Speaker 1: found class. We never got to that we're going to 1811 01:54:53,080 --> 01:55:00,120 Speaker 1: that later. So so so I knew like, okay, this 1812 01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:04,040 Speaker 1: is cool. But if I believe the hype at that time, 1813 01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:08,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be sitting here right now. I'll be funked 1814 01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:11,440 Speaker 1: up in the game right now what I'm saying too. 1815 01:55:11,920 --> 01:55:15,480 Speaker 1: So I always looked at it like I love the art, 1816 01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:18,840 Speaker 1: I love this ship, this is incredible, and put on 1817 01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:21,440 Speaker 1: my life. That's I mean, that ship hit the iceberg. 1818 01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:24,160 Speaker 1: There's a little boat right down there. I'm gonna jump 1819 01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:27,760 Speaker 1: off that fucking ship laying on that boat and go ashore. 1820 01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:32,000 Speaker 1: That's I always looked at it. This is crazy. Gross. 1821 01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:39,560 Speaker 1: I can't what you're saying. It's not crazy. So you're 1822 01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:44,160 Speaker 1: saying want the beginning, you know there was a possibility, 1823 01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:47,120 Speaker 1: that not a possibility, it was inevitable. You know that 1824 01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:54,800 Speaker 1: world means like don't matter what, and you've prepared yourself 1825 01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:59,800 Speaker 1: for bro I'm sitting here right now right okay, I'll 1826 01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:02,400 Speaker 1: just saying it's just it's just I just definitely not 1827 01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:04,760 Speaker 1: that small and there's nothing but by the way, no, no, no, 1828 01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:08,000 Speaker 1: but but I'm gonna say this to you. I wouldn't 1829 01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:13,440 Speaker 1: change a thing. That's what deeper body, because if I had, 1830 01:56:13,680 --> 01:56:17,200 Speaker 1: if anything would have changed, it would change. I wouldn't 1831 01:56:17,200 --> 01:56:19,360 Speaker 1: be seeing here right now now. I don't know if okay, 1832 01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:24,120 Speaker 1: mainly I would have been a dollar richer maybe right, 1833 01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:27,280 Speaker 1: maybe I don't know what would have happened, but it 1834 01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:29,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be right. What's happening right now?

But 1965 02:05:02,720 --> 02:05:05,840 Speaker 1: why did you actually feel you was on something that 1966 02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:09,280 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna work for years? Like? Wow? Like because you know, 1967 02:05:09,320 --> 02:05:14,240 Speaker 1: because I'll be honest with you, right, I never thought 1968 02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:18,720 Speaker 1: like you know me, trash compone, we just sat down. 1969 02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,120 Speaker 1: I just thought it would be together for it forever. 1970 02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:25,800 Speaker 1: But you know it didn't make me. I feel like 1971 02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:29,880 Speaker 1: I have to or going to do something on my 1972 02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:34,280 Speaker 1: own until I found something wrong. But you're saying prior 1973 02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:36,520 Speaker 1: to that, You're saying prior you're saying just even when 1974 02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:39,600 Speaker 1: y'all was at the happiest moment, you felt like he 1975 02:05:39,720 --> 02:05:41,640 Speaker 1: was on something that's gonna So let me say this you. 1976 02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:49,400 Speaker 1: So there's there's what success means. All success is it 1977 02:05:49,720 --> 02:05:56,280 Speaker 1: just amplifies who that individual is really is already. So mean, 1978 02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:59,240 Speaker 1: like if I'm a quiet person and I become super rich, 1979 02:05:59,320 --> 02:06:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna become a hermit. If I'm like hermit crab, 1980 02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:07,640 Speaker 1: hermit me somebody who just sit somewhere. Okay, So that's 1981 02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:09,760 Speaker 1: what they called herman crab, right, because that's why they 1982 02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:16,000 Speaker 1: call it. I'm sorry, I'm plas Okay. If you're an asshole, 1983 02:06:16,200 --> 02:06:19,200 Speaker 1: you're a small asshole, you're gonna be a bigger gonna 1984 02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:24,280 Speaker 1: be a bigger fucking asshole. So I kind of like 1985 02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:28,240 Speaker 1: because because I wasn't college psychology, but that doesn't make 1986 02:06:28,280 --> 02:06:35,040 Speaker 1: me a psychoanalysis expert. I just kind of liked kind 1987 02:06:35,080 --> 02:06:37,600 Speaker 1: of understanding a little bit, a little like you're analyzing 1988 02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:41,360 Speaker 1: a lot, right, So I saw the traits of like 1989 02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:47,960 Speaker 1: make sure that's coming. I'm crazy meaning meaning because at 1990 02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:50,280 Speaker 1: the end of the day, like like I mean, honestly, 1991 02:06:50,440 --> 02:06:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be as human as possible. That 1992 02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:59,480 Speaker 1: this is just human if I'm looking at the person 1993 02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:01,280 Speaker 1: to the to me, and I'm looking at the persons 1994 02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:05,000 Speaker 1: that lofe me right, and we're all broke, right, I 1995 02:07:05,080 --> 02:07:07,360 Speaker 1: don't know if that's your case. Yeah, we all were broke. 1996 02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:09,680 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying this is I'm looking at a 1997 02:07:09,760 --> 02:07:13,400 Speaker 1: poem and I'm looking at track, and I'm saying, okay, 1998 02:07:13,600 --> 02:07:21,760 Speaker 1: boom tracks can be uh hormnified, U enlightened a couple. 1999 02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:24,640 Speaker 1: But I think that I know who he is, right, 2000 02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:27,040 Speaker 1: and the same thing without a poem, I know he is, 2001 02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:29,920 Speaker 1: but there was a part where you just knew. No, 2002 02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:35,600 Speaker 1: it's not that so thinking of it like this money 2003 02:07:35,760 --> 02:07:41,160 Speaker 1: and power, it's not meant for everyone because I've never 2004 02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:43,640 Speaker 1: had the money in power you guys had, So I 2005 02:07:43,760 --> 02:07:47,360 Speaker 1: don't know what the fun you're talking about because I've had. 2006 02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:53,080 Speaker 1: What I mean is I've went platinum, I've went four 2007 02:07:53,200 --> 02:07:58,080 Speaker 1: times ago, but I've never three. So let me get 2008 02:07:58,120 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 1: example across the powers. I don't think the type of 2009 02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,160 Speaker 1: power you're talking about, I might not be able to 2010 02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:07,320 Speaker 1: because Okay, well I'm actually as a student right now 2011 02:08:07,640 --> 02:08:08,840 Speaker 1: and I don't want to sit back and let you 2012 02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:12,360 Speaker 1: know what I'm just saying. So what happens is for example, 2013 02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:14,600 Speaker 1: and oh five I met Obama, right, somebody to this 2014 02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:17,840 Speaker 1: with the president at that time he was senator. I'm 2015 02:08:17,840 --> 02:08:21,680 Speaker 1: just giving example. I'm gonna truth quick example in Chicago, Chicago. 2016 02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:26,880 Speaker 1: So then Obama sixties about oh seven, he makes the announcement, sorry, 2017 02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:29,640 Speaker 1: oh six, he makes the announcement. We all knew him, 2018 02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:31,840 Speaker 1: we started to support him. Whatever, get the grass fool 2019 02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:37,040 Speaker 1: going on. He becomes president. He was a guy who 2020 02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:41,560 Speaker 1: now the most powerful man on land. Whatever. He still 2021 02:08:42,440 --> 02:08:47,800 Speaker 1: pretty much was not things going to change obviously, right, 2022 02:08:47,960 --> 02:08:49,920 Speaker 1: there's things that he's not going to be able to 2023 02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:52,000 Speaker 1: do that he did when he was a junior senator. 2024 02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:57,440 Speaker 1: But the essence of who he is stay in time. Now. 2025 02:08:57,800 --> 02:09:00,600 Speaker 1: I had another friend of mine, he what this guy is? 2026 02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:03,280 Speaker 1: She knows who is this guy named suet miki ak 2027 02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:09,680 Speaker 1: Michelle tell you I may become president of hating fact. 2028 02:09:10,400 --> 02:09:15,520 Speaker 1: So this dude, because he wasn't used to that kind 2029 02:09:15,560 --> 02:09:21,760 Speaker 1: of power, bro, power is like a drug. I like 2030 02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:27,760 Speaker 1: to see if you have a hot fucking record, try performing. 2031 02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:29,840 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something in front of a hundred 2032 02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:33,680 Speaker 1: thousand people, where if you dropped this record and everybody 2033 02:09:33,800 --> 02:09:37,960 Speaker 1: know that song, I promise you wings gonna come from 2034 02:09:38,040 --> 02:09:41,120 Speaker 1: your back and you're gonna think you can fly. That's 2035 02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:44,360 Speaker 1: the power. Right. So when you're getting all of this 2036 02:09:44,640 --> 02:09:47,560 Speaker 1: people who are enamored by you, who are like, oh 2037 02:09:47,600 --> 02:09:50,680 Speaker 1: my god, you this, you this, it does something to 2038 02:09:50,960 --> 02:09:55,360 Speaker 1: the psyche. Not everyone can handle it, you know, say 2039 02:09:55,360 --> 02:10:00,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying to you. So I knew and felt, yeah, 2040 02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:03,200 Speaker 1: this ain't gonna end well, but it's all good because 2041 02:10:03,200 --> 02:10:06,840 Speaker 1: it's a journey. I'm all about the journey, right, not 2042 02:10:07,040 --> 02:10:09,760 Speaker 1: so much about the end. But I knew I had 2043 02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:14,680 Speaker 1: to make sure my end it's gonna be secure. So 2044 02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through all the bullshit because I love journeys, 2045 02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:23,120 Speaker 1: because that's what makes characters. Right. So I was with it. 2046 02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:31,320 Speaker 1: But I knew day one and I'm good. I thought 2047 02:10:31,320 --> 02:10:34,480 Speaker 1: it was still a great experience in despite now whatever, 2048 02:10:34,520 --> 02:10:37,920 Speaker 1: I wish things would have been different. Yeah, of course, 2049 02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:40,400 Speaker 1: why not Listen, I would have looked, if you win 2050 02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:43,600 Speaker 1: a championship, you're gonna want to win a couple more championships, 2051 02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:50,240 Speaker 1: right right, one is not enough? But hey, do you 2052 02:10:50,360 --> 02:10:54,960 Speaker 1: know the average person who gets in I can't even 2053 02:10:55,080 --> 02:11:00,680 Speaker 1: say they gotta win. So I'm good very day say 2054 02:11:00,720 --> 02:11:04,280 Speaker 1: that one something. The average person who's in not even 2055 02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,120 Speaker 1: the average person. The average person who's in the game 2056 02:11:08,800 --> 02:11:12,200 Speaker 1: can't even get one. Now I think about the average 2057 02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:14,280 Speaker 1: who was the game is above everybody else because they 2058 02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:16,440 Speaker 1: got the game. It's like an NBA nigga who's riding 2059 02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:18,760 Speaker 1: the bench is actually a hot nigger. He just can't. 2060 02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:21,560 Speaker 1: He just ain't hot enough to play on the court. 2061 02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:24,520 Speaker 1: But he hotter than everybody else who in the game. 2062 02:11:25,680 --> 02:11:28,160 Speaker 1: But he's riding the bench. He probably never dribbled the 2063 02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:34,520 Speaker 1: ball even at practice, but he hat and that nigga 2064 02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:38,640 Speaker 1: never dribbled the ball, and he's above average as well 2065 02:11:38,640 --> 02:11:42,320 Speaker 1: as everybody your stamps, ain't you?
