Speaker 2: Who in the world at this happened?

6
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,119

00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 9: already flowed, Joe's already out. I'm walking around my venue

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 9: trying to give it to the DJ so they could

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 9: play it. Back in the days, you couldn't just press

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 9: playing that.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Everybody got it.

24
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 9: You had the word of mouth, hand delivershit. And so

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 9: I'm sitting in the crowd and Biggie's just battling like

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 9: ten different killing them all.

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: And he had a backpack on it. Puff kept going,

28
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling y'all, y'all can't fuck with my man.

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 5: Y'all can't.

30
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: And that's how I met Big.

Speaker 11: Man.

34
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 9: I actually booked him because on my side, hustle besides rapping,

35
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 9: because money making money rapping was like seasonal when you're

36
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 9: not really big. So it's like you put a record out,

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 9: you make a lot of money than them other months

38
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 9: you slow. So I used to throw parties, like promote parties.

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 9: So I had booked Biggie for his first show ever.

40
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 9: He was at the Fever and and you know what,

41

Speaker 9: every and the fly says partying bullshit and all that,

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 9: and then we became tight ever since then I go visit.

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 9: I knew he was gonna be big, and that's why

45
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 9: he was still underground. I just was like, Yo, this guy,

46

Speaker 9: he's special. And then me and him was tight. I

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 9: tell y'all some shit. Me and him was tight. And

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 9: I remember when he met jay Z because he stopped.

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 9: Me and Big used to talk every day. He said, yo, man,

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 9: it's this guy.

51
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: He's nice.

52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 9: I've been hanging out with him. His name's jay Z.

53
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 9: That boy nice. I ain't gonna lie to you. That's

54
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 9: on everything. I never said that in an interview. He definitely.

55
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 9: I remember when he met jay Z and he was

56
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 9: hanging out with him every day, and he was like, Oh,

57
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 9: I'm with jay Yo, this, this, that. So he saw

58
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 9: what I saw in him. He saw that shit jay

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 9: Z immediately.

60
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying.

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 8: So, how did you guys relationship continue to grow through it?

62
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously you're established now.

63
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 12: He's a great, great story.

64
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: No Biggie.

65
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 9: To this day, there's nobody's career that has went more

66
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 9: viral than Biggie Smalls. Biggie Smalls went for wearing the

67
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 9: army jacket to the next day rocking the tucks. I

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 9: Dow'm in tuxedo with gators and the fur arm and

69
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 9: going number one, two and three. We never seen no

70
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 9: shit like this, Like overnight, he went from Biggie Small

71
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 9: to the notorious me I gene number two, two and

72
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 9: three Brooklyn, we did it like that. Shit happened Mike Bhoom, right,

73
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 9: And so we know because we're in the situation of

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 9: power that a lot of times people's opinions, We at

75
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 9: least perceived that people's opinions change on us because we.

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 10: Got success or status.

77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: So I'm even guilty of that.

78
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 9: When Biggie was like number one, two or three, I

79
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 9: remember walking up to a Vibe party and I just

80
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 9: seen like two hundred people around of one truck and

81
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 9: I ain't even know who's that.

82
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: And when I.

83
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 9: Seen it, it was Biggie standing on the truck and

84
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 9: me myself, Joseph Cartagina myself looking at that, I was like,

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna go over there.

86
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 10: He probably changed.

87
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: And he sees me right at the moon. Yo, god, yo,

88
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: I go over there.

89
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 9: So then he grabs little Kim. She was with him,

90
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 9: and he was like, what the fuck we've been playing

91
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 9: all day? Well, we've been playing all week.

92
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: My new album had dropped, my second album, Jealous. She

93
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: was like, your albums like you.

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 9: Got better boy, You're killing him now.

95
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 13: You know.

96
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, he ain't never chanced all that.

97
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 11: Yeah, he ain't changed. I never seen the brig, never

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 11: seen the crack.

99
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: One for the ass, you know, the.

100
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 11: King of New York, New York.

101
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 14: That's the one to tell him the story about when

102
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 14: Pa got locked up.

103
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: You said the kite on him.

104
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 9: Be clear that story. Uta Muta told the story, who

105
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 9: Po's right here?

106
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 13: Man?

107
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: And who was Napoleon? He's moved Napoleon.

108
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 9: I had never said that story in twenty something years,

109
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 9: Fat Joe never leaked that story. That was it's a

110
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 9: true story. And so what happened was East Coast West Coach.

111
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: Biggie's my man.

112
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 9: And to be honest with you, you know they were really

113
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 9: I want to use my words correctly. Let's just say

114
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 9: that West Coast was like leaning on New York like

115
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 9: like like.

116
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Really leaning on New York like hard. The pressure was legendary.

117
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 9: And the New York rappers, you know, they just wasn't

118
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 9: really coming back at theming like that, and they were

119
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 9: just violating right, doing crazy shit. I don't know, talk

120
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 9: about all the type of shit going on, right. And

121
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 9: so I'm in the radio one day and they asked

122
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 9: me the question, Yojo, what you think about Tupac, And

123
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 9: all I say, yo, he's cool, but you know, if

124
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 9: they stepped to me, it's gonna be some ship.

125
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: So I said that on.

126
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 9: The radio, not knowing Tupac locked up upstate in New York.

127
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: The Puerto Ricans hear that, Poppy if.

128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 9: I got beef with fat yo yo yo no on that,

129
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 9: and then we were still in the street.

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 2: Odd.

131
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 9: So I said that in an interview. You gotta be

132
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 9: careful your words to really create problems. So then I

133
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 9: get on a phone call. I get a phone call

134
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 9: from great Nice who pretty much put me in the game,

135
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 9: one of my brothers.

136
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: They said, yo, Joe, I got Pac. On the other line.

137
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: I was like, pot so I pick up. And then Tupac.

138
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 9: I don't want to elaborate too much, guys, but what

139
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 9: I'm saying is Tubac was like, Yo, these Puerto Ricans

140
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 9: is on me, Like you said something.

141
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: In the radio.

142
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 9: I don't got a problem with you, Joe, like this,

143
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 9: I know what's up this is. And so you know,

144
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 9: we sent the kiteout to the Puerto Ricans.

145
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: And be like, noah, no, no, no no, no.

146
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 9: This ain't about that, not on the strength of me.

147
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Don't do that.

148
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 9: And then they wind up being real tight with Tupac

149
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 9: and there holding them down in there. That's how that

150
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 9: came about. But be clear, y'all, I know I talk

151
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 9: a lot of shit. I talk a lot of shit.

152
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 9: But I never told that story in twenty something years,

153
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 9: you know, because now we gotta be careful with podcasting clouds,

154
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 9: right right right, like y'all, this is shit crazy out there.

Speaker 22: immediately when I moved out here to LA. One of

483

00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 8: modeled you know, someone you monitor your game after. But

00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 8: how instrumental was it.

518
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: You saying that?

519
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:18,200

00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: Uh through the space?

523
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 22: Oh so, Snoop is fucking rare, especially in the rap game,

524
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 22: for the simple fact that there's nobody currently who can

525
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 22: say that they have their second coming of them who's

526
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 22: like successful killing it went on tour with him. Everybody

527
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 22: kind of competes or hides the keys to the game

528
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 22: and doesn't really show the homies like what was really good?

529
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 22: But Snooper put me onto plays like he'll be meeting

Speaker 11: a competition, no, none of that.

540
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 22: All positive reinforcement. And we chop it up, bro, like

541
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,280

00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 11: We smoke. If you need to get away from the

546
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 11: It's a vibe. Yeah. So yeah, he's been very instrumental

547
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 11: in just my sanity in life.

548
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 2: I've been through everything. I mean, he's been a big

549
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 2: you know.

550
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,840

Speaker 8: that meet him in UCLA and then us become friends.

552
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 8: You know, when you really look up to someone and

553
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 8: get in this space. It's just like you have such

554
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 8: a long journey bus. It's like, damn, that's snoop and

555
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 8: like we're doing charity football games together and that knows

556
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 8: my kids and do It's just like you kind of

557
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 8: have to pinch yourself sometimes because it is just so

558
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 8: cool and welcome and and the real how real O

559
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 8: G should be?

560
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: So I do this thing.

561
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 22: We perform at amphitheaters, and in any amphitheater, there's like

562
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 22: there's the VIP that's the seats, there's the like the pit,

563
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 22: like that's the most, and then there's the lawn in

564
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 22: the back that's like the cheaper seats. The most people

565
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 22: are actually in the lawn though, right, But if you're

566
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 22: ever in the lawn and you watch the show, you

567
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 22: either got to look up at the screen the whole time. Yeah,

568
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 22: you just gotta look at the screen the whole time

569
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 22: because the actual person, the performer, is like this fucking

570
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 22: big and you can't fucking see him. And I was

571
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 22: always in the lawn when I was, you know, attending

572
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 22: a concert, so this is I did it. I came

573
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 22: up being on stages, like what if we put another

574
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 22: stage back there by the lawn and I could run

575
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 22: from up here back there and go perform like a

576
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 22: few songs for them and shit.

577
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 11: So that's what I usually do during my tour. So

578
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 11: I'm up on.

579
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 22: Stage halfway through, we'll black it out, put some shit

580
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 22: on the screen and I'll run over and then they'll

581
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 22: hit the lights and then boom.

582
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 5: I'm right.

583
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 11: I'm in the lawn.

584
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 22: Yeah, and they're going crazy. I'm doing this shit with

585
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,080

664
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 5: I had been shooting UH.

665
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 24: Videos over two videos over that weekend, a video for

666
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 24: a song called Beautiful but Deadly and a video to

667
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 24: a song called a Formula. And because it was so

668
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 24: much work, I was falling asleep a lot, and somebody

669
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 24: was around that offered me something that would help me stay,

670
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 24: stay away, probably a very old story. And I accepted that,

671
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 24: and and twenty four hours later that accident happened.

672
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 5: Twenty four hours later. Twenty four hours later, I.

673
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 24: Uh, I took the stuff I went which was Dre's

674
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 24: house at the time, and Dre said, Nigga, you need

675
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 24: to take your ass to sleep. I said, okay, and

676
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 24: then he went to the store. But about my my

677
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 24: inside was just racing. I couldn't go to sleep. So

678
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 24: when he left, I left. And now I'm in the

679
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 24: in La, in the streets all day, drinking and smoking

680
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 24: and doing what those boys do. And by the time

681
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 24: I finally said, oh, I wanna go home and go

682
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 24: to sleep, was was two o'clock, almost two o'clock. The

683
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 24: the next day, I still haven't been to sleep, so

684
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 24: I'm on my way home. Just didn't make it. But

685
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 24: I gotta say this can fault. Everything in my life

686
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 24: is purposeful, including that accident. Now I had to go

687
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 24: through a lot of bottles, a lot of drugs and

688
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 24: depression and to to find my way back to who

689
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 24: I am today. But it was twenty I had been

690
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 24: clean and sober for about eight years. Good came to

691
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 24: me and I worked my way back up to a

692
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 24: you know, a decent living. I could provide for my

693
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 24: boys and anything a good man would want to do

694
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 24: I was doing. I didn't have what my contemporaries had.

695
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 24: I didn't have certainly what Dray and Snoop the mad.

696
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 5: But I had peace of mind, you know.

697
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: And good came and he said, h you could let

698
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 3: go of that pain.

699
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 5: Huge. He said that you didn't do that. I did that.

700
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 5: You weren't responsible for that.

701
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 23: I was.

702
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 24: And I did it for a purpose, and you were

703
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 24: about to walk in that purpose. It was a couple

704
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 24: months after that I decided to do the documentary, you know,

705
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 24: and everything since then it's been on the show Inclined,

706
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 24: and I think, uh, like I said, twenty twenty five

707
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 24: is gonna be the year.

708
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: I stepped back out there on that ass.

709
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 11: And and by that by the time, by the time.

710
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 5: The World show up in DFW in twenty twenty six,

711
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be back on my thront.

712
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 12: Yes, sir, you know what I mean.

713
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 24: Yeah, cause you know the World Cup is coming here

714
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 24: in twenty six, so I'm gonna have my little little

715
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 24: jingle bag ready. You can get that dollar from everybody

716
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 24: to get off the plane. Understand that that's good business.

717
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 8: Would you say, in the way that accident saved your

718
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 8: life in the long run.

719
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know.

720
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 11: I was.

721
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 24: I was on the one way ticket to the shit

722
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 24: to some goddamn well wherever I was going. I didn't know,

723
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 24: Like I said, I was out of my head.

724
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 17: You know.

725
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 5: I thought I was the greatest rapper of all time.

726
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 5: Can't tell me nothing. I got.

727
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 24: Six foot three, three hundred and twenty pounds bodyguard basically

728
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 24: with me. That said, if I come in the club

729
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 24: and and slap you upside the head, I can just

730
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 24: do that and move out the way, you know.

731
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 23: And I did that.

732
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 5: It was bad for a while, bro, but Jod got a.

733
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 24: Way of putting you in your your space and in

734
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 24: your place. And like I said, all that stuff was

735
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 24: purposeful so that I could understand and give back to

736
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 24: these babies that's out there now.

737
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 5: They think that's the way. It's not the way. Man.

00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 24: have had to have made one record and then get

750
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,560

Speaker 5: Otherwise I'd have been gone.

764
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 14: When your voice went away? Did your pen pick up

777
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 24: that energy that he made me feel. And I can't

778
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 24: wait to record this year.

779
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 11: And now that Dre is gonna.

780
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 12: Get it out, I wanna, I want.

781
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 8: I want to back cut a little bit though, because

782
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 8: take me through how mentally tough it was for you

783
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 8: to drop something that, God damn it that is number

784
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 8: one in the country, number one album in the country,

785
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 8: and then taking your voice away and as you see

786
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 8: your brothers continue to do their things. So I also

787
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 8: read one time that you know, obviously their wins were

788
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 8: your wins, but how hard mentally was it that you

789
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 8: couldn't do it?

790
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: Man?

791
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 5: I don't think that. Imagine was it? Was it the

792
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 5: second year Mike tos.

793
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 12: Brokes ankle at the second year?

794
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 24: Imagine Michael Jordan toward his knee up and couldn't play

795
00:37:59,040 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 24: no more.

796
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 5: How do you think he would? He might not be here,

797
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, right, So that's where that's

798
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 5: where I was at.

799
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 23: Dang.

800
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 24: I was in a space where I didn't know what

801
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 24: the fuck to do, and the only thing I had

802
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 24: was given giving it to to those guys that that

803
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 24: that kept me alive, you know. Snoop says it in

804
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 24: the documentary, you know, and he was right on point

00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 25: it's literally it's on God. I would not lie to you, bro.

813
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 25: It's not a trade mark. It's not a because if

814
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 25: it was, we have it singed up and I wouldn't

815
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 25: even have to do it. You are listening to you

816
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 25: can listen to. Every single one is different and the

817
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 25: answer is simple and playing. If you're a Wayne fan,

818
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 25: you guys already got to know that I'm about to

819
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 25: smoke during the verse. I'm lighting up for the verse

820
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 25: and that's cheating. Yeah, no, cheers, let's go. It's not

821
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 25: a trade became classic.

822
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 12: It's not a hold on.

823
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 11: Let me make sure I get them up.

824
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 14: No, it's to the point where like when when motherfucker's

825
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 14: hear for the song, they be like, oh.

826
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, I feel like that too when I hear it.

827
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 25: I heard it I heard a few flicks on some

828
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 25: other songs that you're not delivering like I live, so

829
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 25: stopped doing that.

830
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 8: I got a question like, obviously you have to listen

831
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 8: to your music.

832
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 26: When when do you want to hear it? When don't

833
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 26: you want to hear it? I want to hear it

834
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 26: all the time, and I don't want to hear it

835
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 26: never ever, so all the time. So I don't listen

836
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 26: to no one else. Oh okay, yeah, but it's no.

837
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 25: It's I'm always listening to what I just did when

838
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 25: I'm trying to fix and ship. So it's not by

839
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 25: choice that I don't hear. When I say no one else,

840
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 25: I mean not even my own artist. So that's I

841
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 25: always like to let get that out there when I

842
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 25: say that, I don't listen to no one else, Like

843
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 25: gu gotta.

844
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,400

Speaker 25: Oh ship they got a video too, Damn. I ain't

847
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 25: knowing that motherfucker. It's awesome right there. He killed that ship,

848
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 25: you know, he killed that ship. I might listen to

849
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 25: the first four of ours, he said. On the first one,

850
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 25: he text like Nigga said.

851
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 11: Get back to my ship. That's that's the only reason.

852
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 25: Let's tell you, I gotta I'm a perfectionist, trying to

853
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 25: make sure that I should have said is you should

854
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 25: have probably said the You probably shouldn't even sit in

855
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 25: that type shit got you?

856
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 11: What do you think two thousand and four the Karter?

857
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 11: What do you think the Carter did for your career? Uh?

858
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 25: At the time, I think it. I think it's uh,

859
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 25: it was the start of it was the start of

860
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 25: a path album I was able to create, you know

861
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 25: what I mean, the path of uh, the path that

862
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 25: deserved continuous, deserve to continue, a continuation, a pat that

863
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 25: deserved to keep going, extend.

864
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 11: And that's as hard for some people.

865
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 25: Some people could drop a hard ass album and I

866
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 25: don't hit the rest, you know what I mean, I

867
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 25: ain't looking for your next album. But the card allowed

868
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 25: me to. Now we want hit Car two, Card three,

869
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 25: you know. So I always looked at it like it

870
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 25: was a maturity thing for me, like it was my

871
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 25: little for some reason, we always approaching just for the Carter,

872
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 25: like you know whatever. Every time we're working on obviously

873
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 25: I work all damn day every day, so when we

874
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 25: get one that you know, it's for the Cartner so

875
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 25: it's nothing about it.

876
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, so it's like, so what makes this for the cussop.

877
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 25: Obviously it sets a standard out set a standard with

878
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 25: that album, Yeah, exactly, a big standard.

879
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 8: Uh mix tape, Wayne, I mean that was unbelievable. You

880
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 8: know if the part of one and two, Uh, what

881
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 8: was the thinking behind the just that whole this.

882
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 2: By the way.

883
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 11: He told me to do this by the way, yeah,

884
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 11: which you said it was the just what was the.

885
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 8: What was the whole thought process behind the mixtape push?

886
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 23: The first ones?

887
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 11: You know, the first one I did was just.

888
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 25: Getting okay from baby that him telling me is okay,

889
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 25: like I could buy this music that he was okay.

890
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: It's all good.

891
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 11: Ship. So that was the first one I put out.

892
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 25: I think it was like ten thousand bars, and they

893
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 25: started calling him the mixtapes and whatever. We was giving

894
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 25: that ship out free. So that was actually the thing

895
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 25: about Wayne. Shit, Wayne's always free. Wayne's always free. So

896
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 25: I don't blame me that charge and switch the game

897
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 25: up on y'all flipped it up to me too much.

898
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 25: Now that I actually got a charge off of my

899
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 25: mixtapes now, so don't blame me blaming the game. But uh,

900
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 25: but yeah, so as far as you know, and my

901
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 25: approach to mixtapes was always different. You know, I always

902
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 25: thought a mixtape was supposed to be and I still do.

903
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 25: I still do my mixtapes that well. I thought it

904
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 25: was supposed to be you wanting to hear me on

905
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 25: the songs that's out that I'm not on, you know

906
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 25: what I mean, like ten ten hot that songs that

907
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 25: you're in the club banging Terry Dale or whatever.

908
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 11: I'm abouty killing bitches for you.

909
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

910
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 25: I thought that's what and I'm I'm gonna rap it.

911
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 25: I'm gonna say the same melodies the person use like

912
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 25: for about a go two seconds, but you know what

913
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 25: I mean, I'm gonna flip some words and she'll like

914
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 25: make it fun interesting, And I always thought that's what

915
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 25: it should be and so something. That's why That's how

916
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 25: I attack my mixtapes and that's how I always have.

917
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 11: But now mixtapes have changed.

918
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,600

00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 2: I'm from the South Mound.

1124
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 28: Yeah, we move around. We don't really know that. And

1125
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 28: it's like, you know, that's when I started really understanding

1126
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 28: the neighborhood.

1127
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 8: The culture.

1128
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 28: Yeah, the culture and stuff. Because even in the Bay,

1129
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 28: the Bay was different. The Bay, we were just hustlers

1130
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 28: out there. You know what I'm saying. It wasn't like, man,

1131
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 28: we go to the call show, turn up. You know

1132
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 28: what I'm saying, go to Fessor but the lake the lake.

1133
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 28: Yeah so now man, But it's it's knowing those different

1134
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 28: cultures and then taking that uh and getting on the

1135
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 28: road with it. So I think that was my biggest strength,

1136
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 28: Like I said, showing up, going to everyhood. I went

1137
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 28: to New York, Chicago, Texas. I just start showing up.

1138
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 28: And I mean I started watching the other people at

1139
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 28: that time. Rapp a Lot was so big. I studied,

1140
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,480

1141
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 28: big Drake. You know what I'm saying. So I'm like,

1142
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 28: but we celebrate each other, right, we don't do that now. Man,

1143
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 28: were jealous of each other and we somebody own I say,

1144
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 28: we have to change that narrative. I think we got

1145
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 28: the young people got to go back. And that's what

1146
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 28: I love about the TV series I'm about to put

1147
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 28: out so they could see how I celebrated Uncle Luke.

1149
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,040

1158
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 29: seven with Angie Martinez at the time when Angie was

1159
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 29: there before she went to Power one on five and

1160
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 29: she was doing an interview with Angie and I'm driving

1161
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 29: from Long Island to the city and at the time,

1162
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 29: I owned the Toyota Form Runner.

1163
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 2: It was my second whip that I ever had.

1164
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 5: It's ninety eight. I also had a Benz.

1165
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 29: And I didn't drive the Benz this particular day because

1166
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 29: I was in a rush and I had twenties on

1167
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 29: the Benz and I was always running into a situation

1168
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 29: where you hit a pothole and the ship was the

1169
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 29: most annoying shit. So Angie asks Janet what rappers has

1170
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 29: she never worked with that she would like to work with.

1171
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 29: She said, bust the rhyms. Nigga almost crashed my ship.

1172
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 29: I pulled over and I'm on the belt Parkway. I

1173
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 29: pulled over and I immediately called Mona Scott Young from

1174
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 29: Violator and I said, Mona, you need to get in

1175
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 29: touch with Janet now. She said high ninety seven. She

1176
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 29: said she want to work with busts the motherfucking rhymes

1177
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 29: until her. I got the perfect song for it, and

1178
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 29: I ain't have no song, so we had to find

1179
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 29: a song. And a brother named Delight produced the record

1180
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,560
Speaker 29: and he got a young lady I forget her name

1181
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 29: to write the hook pen the hook for Janet. When

1182
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 29: I heard it, I fell in love with the shit

1183
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 29: immediately because nothing had sounded like it at the time

1184
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 29: on the radio, and it was something that it actually

1185
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 29: played into me being able to speed rap on it perfectly.

1186
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 29: I immediately got the record, Mona, got in touch with Janet,

1187
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 29: sent it to Janet. I didn't write the rhymes yet.

1188
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 29: We picked us, We pick us. She picks the studio

1189
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 29: session and it's somewhere in a different state from New York,

1190
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 29: and we go to the studio and I researched everything

1191
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 29: that Janet likes, what type of flowers she like, what

1192
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 29: type of candles she like. With the fragrances is that

1193
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 29: she like, and we dressed the fucking studio up exactly

1194
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 29: with all of the shit that she likes. Her security came,

1195
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 29: they advanced that shit. They walked around, searched every fucking

1196
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 29: room like they was screening and looking for fucking wiretaps

1197
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 29: and bugs everywhere. Some president shit. This was probably like

1198
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 29: three four hours before she showed up. And then when

1199
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 29: the Queen showed up, I gave her a nice brief greeting,

1200
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 29: hugged her, asked if she needed anything, and left her

1201
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 29: with the track with all the vocals on it for

1202
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 29: her to sing them over. And I bounced. I ain't

1203
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 29: even want to be around her long enough to do

1204
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 29: some shit wrong. I'm not fucking this moment, not even

1205
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 29: by accident. Right, Pierman Ain't nothing fashion than pem money, Right,

1206
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 29: I got the fun about it. There nothing faster than Pune.

1207
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1208
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 29: I went in another room next door and I wrote

1209
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 29: all the verses and then I spit them. Then I

1210
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 29: came back and I let the engineer imported in a session, revived,

1211
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 29: listened to it a couple of times. She was happy.

1212
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 29: I was super bugging out, couldn't believe this moment was real.

1213
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 29: And then when it came video to shoot time and

1214
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,919
Speaker 29: that terminated. Two movie came out and I saw that shit.

1215
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 29: I said, yeah, this is all that liquidy make you wet, shit,

1218
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 29: I was scared they had that conversation because when Hype

1219
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 29: sent the budget back, that shit was two point four

1220
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,200

1224
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 29: the Titanic movie was called Digital Domain. They did the

1225
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 29: effects for that video. O d overcharging niggas because they

1226
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,480

01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:05,000

01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 12: You just got robbed.

1229
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 29: I mean, the finished product was phenomenal, but it's so

1230
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 29: funny when you compare the prices to the shit that

1231
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 29: they charged me then to amazing shit that I'm able

01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 29: to do now. Of course, times is different and technology

1233
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 29: advanced a lot, but it was crazy when you did

1234
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 29: the research to find out what the fuck they was

1235
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 29: charging you for a while, was they charging you like that?

1236
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 29: Later on, not too long after neither, I would say

1237
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 29: two three years ago. I just was starting to be

1238
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 29: really confused about why did I get charged like this?

1239
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 29: And you know, we was getting so much money. We

1240
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 29: didn't even care. Man, it was like, fuck a royalty.

1241
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 29: You know, we're getting publishing deal money millions, and were

1242
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 29: getting touring millions, and we're getting.

1243
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 2: All types of other shit.

1244
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 11: It was just like whatever.

1245
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 29: But again, that was an unbelievable moment, and in Janet,

1246
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 29: by the time it got time to shoot the video,

1247
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 29: all of that nervous shit was out the window because

1248
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 29: now I'm fright in front of the camera. I gotta

1249
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 29: make it look like that's my wife.

1250
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: That wasn't That wasn't hard. That wasn't hard at all.

1251
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: Easy for the Ward is Bar.

1252
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 10: Now.

1253
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 2: But big up to Janet Jackson.

1254
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 29: Night Front twenty twenty three was the first time that

1255
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 29: we got to perform that record together together in twenty

1256
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 29: five years, because last year was the twenty fifth anniversary

1257
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 29: of that song and that album. So thank you to

1258
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 29: Janet for bringing me out at the garden where I

1259
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,959
Speaker 29: was able to celebrate twenty five anniversary of that song

1260
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 29: in my backyard in New York, and I tried to

1261
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,919
Speaker 29: recreate the whole environment in the studio because after the song,

1262
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 29: I bought all of them flowers in the same shit

1263
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 29: that we had in a stool on stage to give

1264
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 29: her her flowers.

1265
01:01:50,800 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, br welcome to the show.

1266
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 8: Dang Dash Kanye West. Actually eighteen years ago Colline dropout dropped.

1267
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 8: But before that, thoughts on him when you met him?

1268
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 8: Did you see it in him order right away?

1269
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 23: M hmm.

1270
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 30: I didn't see that one coming pause. I thought he

1271
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 30: could make good beats, just like a just Blaze or

1272
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 30: you know other producers. And you know, I didn't see

1273
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 30: him as a rapper. I really still don't. I think

1274
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 30: he's the best producer that could rap. But I know

1275
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 30: he wants to be a rapper, you know what I'm saying.

1276
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 30: But now, I didn't know that he was going to

1277
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 30: do that when he broke his jaw. That's when I

1278
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 30: knew he was gonna do that when he came back

1279
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 30: through the wire. But really, Bigs had brought that to

1280
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 30: my attention, like I think we should pay attention to Kanye,

1281
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 30: and what was happening was the Young Guns had a

1282
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 30: single album, Can Style, and and that ship was going

1283
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 30: crazy on the radio. And I was trying to put

1284
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 30: Kanye's out just because because Big was at the time,

1285
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 30: Big was trying to get more involved because that's what

1286
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 30: Jay was beefing about, so he was doing all this shit.

1287
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 30: He was like, Yo, let's focus on this dude. And

1288
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,959
Speaker 30: I went to Leyre and was like, Yo, I'm gonna

1289
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 30: put out Kanye and he was like, no, We're gonna

1290
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 30: focus on such and such, and I was like, I'll

1291
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 30: take him someplace else cause I had to kind of.

1292
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:28,439
Speaker 10: I had so much work.

1293
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 30: I had deals with Atlantic with Rock Rockefell Atlantic and

1294
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 30: Rockefeller Sony as well, and me it wasn't there, and

1295
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 30: I forgot what the fuck was over there. But anyway,

1296
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 30: and then you know, you saw what they did, Camerton

1297
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 30: did and Jimmy with Cotch, and I just had so

1298
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 30: much work that I was just wasn't even exclusive. So

1299
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 30: I was taking them to Atlantic and I forgot it

1300
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 30: was it Craig Cole.

1301
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 11: Now I wasn't Craig, it.

1302
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 8: Was whoever it was.

1303
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 30: Was giving me the same kind of dumb shit as

1304
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 30: death jab and I was like, fuck it, I just

1305
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 30: put it out through here and he started to catch

1306
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 30: fire and they had no choice. But you know, I

1307
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 30: didn't know. I didn't know Kanye was gonna do what

1308
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 30: he did today. I thought that we were going to

1309
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 30: be able to leverage him. Like to me, Kanye was

1310
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 30: a guy that could knock at the door and they

1311
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 30: were gonna let him in and then all of us

1312
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 30: were going to run it because you know, we were looking.

1313
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 23: You know, he was wearing a different he had a.

1314
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 30: Different thing going, you know, but I didn't know that

1315
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 30: he was gonna do what he did and be so consistent,

1316
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 30: And I didn't know that he had such work. I

1317
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 30: knew he had work ethic because I was impressed by

1318
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 30: you know, even looking at how he is now. You know,

1319
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 30: he's on one hundred, like he really deserves everything that

1320
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 30: he has because he does work that hard his whole

1321
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 30: He's dedicated his whole life to it.

1322
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 8: We got a very special guest today in Chef.

1323
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,360

01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 33: I'm gonna sell about a thousand copies because I got

1403
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 33: out of the we were talking about this last night.

1404
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 23: Me an exhibit the problem.

1405
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 33: How you know, I was selling cassetts like I got

1406
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 33: out a whole dope game, trying to help so you know,

1407
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 33: cracker whatnot.

1408
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 23: It's like this, this ain't for me. I don't like

1409
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 23: doing this to my people.

1410
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 33: So I turned that hustle into making cassettes and music

1411
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 33: and selling them, you know, hand to hand, and it

1412
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 33: just it overwhelmed me.

1413
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 23: The people really wanted these cassettes.

1414
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 33: I was personalizing and putting certain people's names in them,

1415
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 33: and they'd be like, let me buy the whole box.

1416
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 33: So I got to sit up here and make duplicates

1417
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 33: of cassettes like I ain't cut off of this. You know,

1418
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 33: I sell one hundred cassettes. I'm tired. Even though I

1419
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 33: made money off of them. I'm like, you know, that's

1420
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 33: real work. Back then, Oh my god, I need a deal.

1421
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 23: Somebody else got to do this because I had a demand.

1422
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 33: People was buying my cassets, and people was telling me that,

1423
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 33: hey man, they got your people playing your music in

1424
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 33: Salt Lake City.

1425
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 23: I'm like, get the fuck out of here. Where's Salt

1426
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 23: Lake City?

1427
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 2: Exactly?

1428
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 33: But the cassette to start moving across the state lines

1429
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 33: by itself. People was dubbing it and passing it on,

1430
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 33: and before you know it, I had a little reputation

1431
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 33: with the little cassetts. Then I did this one called

1432
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 33: the Red Tape with my boys Second and nine AMG

1433
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 33: and it blew. So I was selling a bunch of them.

1434
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 33: I was handwriting all of them. Like, we had no distributors.

1435
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,719
Speaker 33: So I go buy the blank cassettes, get this duplication

1436
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 33: machine and just run them off and put the little

1437
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 33: sticker on them and write our names on it. You

1438
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 33: know then about stamping and you know, printing press all that.

1439
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 33: We was just doing it by hand by hand, you know,

1440
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 33: hand in hand. And you know, I ended up buying

1441
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 33: all the equipment that I wanted and it was cool,

1442
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 33: but I didn't know it was going.

1443
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 23: I didn't always gonna go platinum. I'm like, you know,

1444
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:26,560
Speaker 23: people like it.

1445
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 33: But then I started writing songs about everything we was experiencing.

1446
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 33: So I was just a voice of us, us being

1447
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 33: the youth, us being who we were at that time,

1448
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 33: and it resonated with a lot of people. Songs like Tonight,

1449
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 33: Sweet Black Pussy, you know, Born and Raising Compton, them songs.

1450
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 33: It made sense people could relate, and so passed a

1451
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 33: little thousand copies. One of my home boys used to

1452
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:55,200

01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 23: We got to go in there and hug that toilet

1536
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 23: and get rid of that ship. Like and I was like,

1537
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 23: I ain't never drinking again.

1538
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 33: Ever, I was cool and I didn't for a while,

1539
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 33: but that ended up being the last verse. I just

1540
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 33: wrote it still like hungover wrote that ship that just

1541
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 33: it was like I documented it right there.

1542
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 8: As soon as they come.

1543
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 12: We're doing the same old thing to.

1544
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 23: That's what happened. It was like you got to you

1545
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 23: gotta get your your tolerance self? Is what are these

1546
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 23: words y'all talking about?

1547
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

1548
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 12: So that's fun.

1549
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 11: That's that was the story.

1550
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 33: I've ended up recording the song, put it on the

1551
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 33: mixtape and everybody loved it, you know. So, and it

1552
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 33: was dirty. It had real hood references, you know, because

1553
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 33: I was grinding back there. I was mentioning all the

1554
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 33: niggas with they surnames. They had blood in their name,

1555
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 33: cripping their name, you know this nigga loak and all this,

1556
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 33: just putting their whole name in it, like keeping it real,

1557
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 33: you know what I'm saying.

1558
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 23: So I had to clean that ship up for.

1559
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 2: The radio, and I did.

1560
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 11: I just swished it right over.

1561
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 8: The one that was Ludacris Mali two thousands. You cross

1562
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 8: paths with many legends. We try to compile a list

1563
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,560
Speaker 8: when we tell you the name and the song, just

1564
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 8: tell us a little bit about it. Uh Nate dogg

1565
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 8: and area codes. Wow, man, that's my peace.

1566
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 7: I'm the biggest Nate Dog fan in the world, man.

1567
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 7: People know, and I think I've done more songs with

1568
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 7: Nate Dogg collectively than any other artists maybe Sierra, but

1569
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 7: Nate Dogg was just man, He's just amazing.

1570
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 2: He's just amazing.

1571
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 7: He smoked the whole wherever you at, he'll smoke that

1572
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 7: whole shit down, and uh, you know he just you

1573
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 7: throw on the beat, he'll smoke. Take him about an

1574
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,600
Speaker 7: hour or two. When he jumps in that booth, everybody's

1575
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 7: paying attention. Kills it every single time. But just such

1576
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:28,560
Speaker 7: an a dope demeanor about himself, cool, calm, collected, and

1577
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 7: you know, just how he chose his melodies and how

1578
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 7: he chose to do certain things musically was just always

1579
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 7: surprising to you because it was out of the unexpected.

1580
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 7: I know people would say talk about his tone and stuff,

1581
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 7: but he was one of the most complex individuals when

1582
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 7: it comes to singing not only hooks, but just entire

1583
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 7: songs that I ever encountered.

1584
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 2: So I'm huge Nate Doggh.

1585
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:58,440
Speaker 8: Man man uh thrailing the Neptune's Southern hospitality.

1586
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 7: I was gonna something just came to mind when I

1587
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 7: was like one of my favorite rap lines I said

1588
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 7: on one of Nate dogs songs, and I said something

1589
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 7: like something something going to bed. You got a frog

1590
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 7: in your throat like miss Piggy giving head.

1591
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I was just like God damn.

1592
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 7: Sometimes I'll be saying, some of the artists in the world, okay, sorry,

1593
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 7: put me up there. Man, come on, come on man.

1594
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,719
Speaker 12: Welcome Roy Jones memorable ring walks.

1595
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 8: She once appeared in the back of the Radio City

1596
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,839
Speaker 8: Auditorium in the tux joined by Red meth.

1597
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 2: Man.

1598
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 34: Let me explain something to you, Hbo, who also made me,

1599
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 34: helped make me help the world get to know who

1600
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:56,560
Speaker 34: Jon's dream was.

1601
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 11: But it really messed me up that particularly calls.

1602
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 34: They showed movies with cursing and all kind of stuff

1603
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 34: after now after seven o'clock at night, this boxing.

1604
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 11: This is the first time ever.

1605
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 34: Now mind you, this now first time ever that rap

1606
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 34: music was in Radio City Music Hall. First time ever

1607
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 34: radio see the music hall never had rapping it before.

1608
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 34: That was the first time ever. Also had Whitt in

1609
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 34: Houston singing God Bless America.

1610
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 11: So you got such a big night that.

1611
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 34: You're gonna mute the audio because of lyrical contact of

1612
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 34: rap music.

1613
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 11: But all the movies you play with all the bad

1614
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 11: lyrical content in it. Once again, I'm gonna get the short.

1615
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 5: In the stick.

1616
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 34: You feel, and that was the best ring interest that

1617
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 34: I've seen to this day. Me met and read all

1618
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 34: dancing rapping. Come on, you don't get no better than

1619
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 34: the mute the audio because y'all worry about the lyrical content.

1620
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 34: What more can they say that the movies y'all playing

1621
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:58,919
Speaker 34: after seven o'clock.

1622
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 11: Saying it's worse on the movie you feel so.

1623
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 34: Completely they completely wiped out the best ring interest of

1624
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 34: all times.

1625
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 11: That if it would have been if you could have

1626
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 11: heard the lyrical and now people still loved it, them wrong.

1627
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 11: But if you could have heard it and really felt

1628
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 11: what we felt energy, you would have felt the whole

1629
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 11: energy of it.

1630
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 34: You missed the energy because they wouldn't play the lyrics

1631
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 34: the lyrical content over the TV screen cold game. But

1632
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 34: and the second my second paper window was I didn't

1633
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 34: want to pourt an organ. I think briand Jordan and

1634
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 34: Nike you had sponsored the fight for me important that

1635
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 34: I came about the flow and I had the girls

1636
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 34: dancing and I did one of my own songs.

1637
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 35: That was my second paper, The legendary ice cube in

1638
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 35: the building today.

1639
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 8: Your relationship was easy. Your reconciliation before it's passing. Uh

1640
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 8: talk to us about that and how important it was

1641
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 8: to reconcile with him before its untimely passing.

1642
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 36: Man, it was very you know, I feel very you know,

1643
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 36: satisfied because I was able to do that. I think

1644
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 36: I would be you know, real restless, you know about

1645
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 36: it a little more if if he didn't know what

1646
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 36: he really meant to me, you know what I'm saying

1647
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 36: outside the bullshit, and I was able to express that

1648
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 36: and we was able to truly get past it. You know,

1649
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 36: sometimes you could say, you know, we squashed this shit, right,

1650
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 36: and it's like, yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, we squashed

1651
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,559
Speaker 36: all right, you know, but you ain't about to mess

1652
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 36: with dude ever again, you know what I'm saying. But

1653
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,959
Speaker 36: sometimes you can squash it and it really be squashed

1654
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 36: and you just continue like it never even happened. Almost,

1655
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 36: And I knew that I was gonna reach out to him.

1656
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,600
Speaker 36: I was gonna work with him if he wanted to,

1657
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,240
Speaker 36: if he could put NWA back together and get Dre

1658
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 36: back on, I was gonna work with So, you know,

1659
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 36: I just knew that, you know, we really squashed our

1660
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 36: beef that day.

1661
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 8: So it was great your departure for NWA. Obviously, it

1662
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 8: was portraying the film and you can read about it,

1663
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 8: and we know about it, but for those who don't,

1664
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 8: what was your main reason behind leaving NWA?

1665
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 36: I just felt like we wasn't the top priority of

1666
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 36: the management. I felt like it was a conflict of

1667
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 36: interest in a lot of ways that Jerry Heller was

1668
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:55,600
Speaker 36: so close to owning and running Ruthless with Easy, that

1669
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 36: him being our manager, that he would look out for

1670
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 36: Easy and not really in WA. So that was one conflict.

1671
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 36: And he just proved me right on how he was

1672
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 36: dealing with my business in particular, and he straight up

1673
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 36: lied on my momhums, you know what I'm saying, Like

1674
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 36: he lied on that for no reason. There's no reason

1675
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 36: to lie. And so as a youngster, all the other

1676
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 36: things you can kind of get with, but one thing

1677
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 36: is the start. It breaks the camel's back.

1678
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 18: And that was it.

1679
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 36: And I'm like a man that a lie to a

1680
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 36: dude about his own mama, it's not a man to

1681
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 36: be trusted. I didn't trust him. I didn't sign the

1682
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 36: contracts when they was presented, and they ostracized me. And

1683
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 36: what was crazy is like once I left the group,

1684
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 36: they started to pay me. Like once I had a

1685
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,760
Speaker 36: solo deal. They started to pay me, and I didn't understand,

1686
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 36: and I went to my manager, Pat Sharpnay, and I'm.

1687
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 18: Like, why why they?

1688
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 11: Yeah, why they paying me now?

1689
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 36: It's like they cause all this ship we got fuse

1690
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 36: in the street, we got records against against each other

1691
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 36: and all kinds of ship. Like, why they paying me now?

1692
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 36: He said, because you were right and they don't want

1693
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 36: you to see him? And I said, well, why didn't

1694
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 36: just pay me when I was in the group. He said, well,

1695
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 36: they would have had to pay everybody else, so they

1696
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 36: rather get you out the way and not have to

1697
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 36: pay for other people.

1698
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:43,360
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

1699
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 23: So bullshit, dirty game.

1700
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, David Banner. How do you make

1701
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:57,759
Speaker 2: beats while you're homeless?

1702
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:03,720
Speaker 6: Oh man, that's dope, great question. I tell kids this. Bro, Like,

1703
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 6: I went to Walmart and got a what's the thing

1704
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 6: that tread It takes the electricity? You put it in

1705
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 6: a converter. Yeah, I went to Walmart and got a

1706
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 6: converter and built the studio of my van and bro

1707
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 6: like a lot of my homeboys didn't want to get

1708
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,840
Speaker 6: on the road with me, dude, and so I turned

1709
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 6: that the passenger side literally into a studio.

1710
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 18: But I ain't.

1711
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 14: I'm me personally. I'm deeper than that. I ain't talking

1712
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 14: about the equipment. I'm talking about mentally, like how you

1713
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 14: even keep yourself focused? To know you homeless? I gotta

1714
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 14: do this to you, know what I mean?

1715
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 3: All right?

1716
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 6: I tell you why, Because I did some research, bro,

1717
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 6: and I found out there's two types of rich people.

1718
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 6: There's rich people who become rich because they have family

1719
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 6: and their parents have influence, so their parents have friends,

1720
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 6: like they can show you the way. Or you could

1721
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 6: be so fucking poor that you don't have no fucking choice.

1722
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 6: You either gonna make it, you're gonna die. So I

1723
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 6: didn't know no rich people. I didn't have to be homeless.

1724
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:05,719
Speaker 2: Bro, we didn't hear ship.

1725
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 6: I didn't have to be homeless. But I knew that

1726
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 6: either I can be lower middle class and work at

1727
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 6: a bank and have a fucking boring ass life because

1728
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 6: to me, hell is working in the fucking office and

1729
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 6: doing the same fucking thing every day. Bro, I probably

1730
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 6: blow my fucking brains up. As hard as it is

1731
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 6: for us, there is not one day in any of

1732
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 6: our lives that's the same. This ship is actually like

1733
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 6: being on the fucking Gandalf or something. I'm serious, bro Like,

01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 6: to be successful, I had to burn the bridges. Not

Speaker 8: Right?

1769
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 6: And so for me, it's so for me, it was

1770
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 6: just it was just like I had to burn the bridges, man,

1771
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 6: and I had to get out there man, and it

1772
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 6: was crazy man.

1773
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 2: Like.

1774
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 6: I went back to the streets twice, bro, Like I

1775
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 6: made it out and then I went back and created

1776
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 6: it my own company.

1777
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 20: Huh, just twice, yeah, just twice, Just twice, Okay, okay,

1778
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 20: just twice.

1779
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 6: I'm different than these other negroes. I'm not proud of

1780
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 6: that ship, Bro'm a I'm sort of embarrassed some of

1781
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 6: the ship that I did. Like we talked about outside,

1782
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:32,560
Speaker 6: I'm not happy about that.

1783
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 2: Shit.

1784
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 6: Ain't nothing cute about that ship at all.

1785
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 8: Bro.

1786
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 6: You know, I'm just happy that we are able to

1787
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 6: talk about it.

1788
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 14: Now, tell me this, with the record business being so shady,

1789
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 14: how how did you learn it and navigate through it

1790
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 14: being independent.

1791
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 11: I didn't know.

1792
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 6: Eric Abatu taught me this like in some cases, and

1793
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 6: you know, I'm a man of knowledge. I never say

1794
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 6: that ignorance is cool. But like, Bro, I really thought

1795
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 6: that ship was real. Bro, I really thought that that.

1796
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 6: Like I looked at hip hop. My little homeboy man

1797
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 6: who just got out the streets. He used to tell

1798
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 6: me that shit all the time. He said, Man, this

1799
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 6: rap shit hurt you, like it's a girl or something. Bro, Like,

1800
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 6: I really love the rap. Bro, I really thought that

1801
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 6: shit was real. Motherfuckers don't care nothing about us. Bro.

1802
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 6: You know, Pimp taught me that, Bro, like we got

1803
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 6: to care for us. I got this theory, man, that

1804
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 6: the story of Jesus, the story of Jesus isn't about

1805
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 6: a man coming down bearing a cross for you. I

1806
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 6: believe the story of Jesus is about a man coming

1807
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,679
Speaker 6: down to show you how to bear your own cross.

1808
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 6: So like hip hop, hip hop ain't fair hip hop

1809
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 6: being pay attention to us until the Bay Area in

1810
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 6: Texas showed us how to be independent, how to make

1811
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 6: our own record companies. They only cared about Southern hip

1812
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 6: hop because we were making more money than they were

1813
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 6: as a whole. We didn't look at ourselves. Imagine little

1814
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 6: flip thugger David Ludacris pastor Troy E forty two short

1815
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 6: master p. Imagine how many to the South Park Mexicans,

1816
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 6: how much money we were making as a conglomerate.

1817
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 18: Bro.

1818
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 6: So what they did is they signed all of us,

1819
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 6: got us all out of the way, and then motherfuckers

1820
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:18,599
Speaker 6: fell off.

1821
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 32: Bro.

1822
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 6: But together we were putting the dent in that shit, y'all.

1823
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 6: And we didn't have the We didn't have the foresight

1824
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 6: to see what they did. And then watch this, watch this,

1825
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 6: this fuck your head up.

1826
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 10: Then we learned how to get mom and pop stores.

1827
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 6: We had a Southwest distribution, we had Gonzales, we had

1828
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 6: our own distribution companies. They sucked the distribution companies up,

1829
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 6: bought the distribution companies, sick the fans on the main

1830
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 6: DJs and the mom and pop stores. Then they sucked

1831
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 6: the mom and pop stores up, then closed the Virgin

1832
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 6: Mega store. Right when we had learned, br I just

1833
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 6: got to the point where I was getting nine dollars

1834
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 6: a fucking album. Dog. If I would have sold one

1835
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:10,679
Speaker 6: more album, Bro, and then nigroes wan to stream I'm

1836
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 6: about to getting nine dollars and you tell me now,

1837
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 6: I'm getting a fraction of a penny. Shit, Bro, This shit, Bro,

1838
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 6: it's actually genius. Racism, Bro, and imperialism is actually genius.

1839
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 6: Me and Scott was talking about this in the back.

1840
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 6: If you take away the fact that they fucking over us,

1841
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 6: the shit is actually genius.

01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,280
Speaker 6: bro again, Bro, Like, all we have to do is

Speaker 6: for these kids. Cause think about what they have successfully done.

1848
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 6: There is now one generation of children that have never

1849
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 6: bought anything, so it's hard to convince them to give

Speaker 6: you nine dollars an album for something that they have

1851

1852
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 6: to tech companies, not even people who care about us,

1853
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 6: who care about music, who even know who we are. Bro,

1856
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 6: from a business perspective, you my enemy. And it's hard
