00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: get out with my penitentiary shirt and my blue jeans

330
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,119

00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 5: the block. Niggas be like, oh, the homie just got

332
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 5: That was like a right of fucking passage to niggas.

333
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 4: Man.

334
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 5: So music was like Nigga gold records and going on

335
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 5: tour and fucking that was making I'm making money from

336
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 5: talking about the homie big Dog from the hood. We

337
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 5: got Jack last night and the one time and then

338
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080

Speaker 5: like the nigga, what like, I get money off of

340
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 5: this ship now? So it was it was a distant thought.

341
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: Like I said, when I first started rapping, we was

342
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: in the garage. I didn't think like I'd be on

343
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 5: planes going to Japan and shit, like on stage with

344
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 5: ten thousand people in the audience. I was like, Nigga,

345
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 5: we making records about the neighborhood.

346
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: So that's crazy. Now, when y'all was recording that verse

347
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: for easy right for Boys in the Hood, and y'all

348
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: had the piece them together and it wouldn't easy.

349
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 6: That wasn't just for that song. Every version he done it.

350
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 6: Take them, I mean a couple of hours, all of.

351
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 3: It, and any of them.

352
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: It's a lot of artists do who still like that

353
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 4: to this day.

354
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: But that's the thing I was trying to tell my

355
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: my wife and my daughter, like, listen to the breath

356
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: patterns on all these new songs and all every line

357
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: is punched, every single line.

358
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: I mean, now you can punch the digital soul. Yeah,

359
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: punch eat it's like.

360
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. So for all those and

361
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: the audience that don't know, it wasn't like the pro

362
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: tools and stuff. No, the way you just pull the cut,

363
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: copy and paste.

364
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 5: And yeah you had yeah, and two inch rails was

365
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: nothing to play with. Man expensive spind it back and

366
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 5: you have to do it, mess up and do it again,

367
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 5: and sometimes you mess up the punch.

368
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: Oh God, looking at me out like, I know, I

369
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 3: killed that one right there, do the whole line.

370
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: It was the hard day record.

371
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 6: But you know something, it made us what we turned

372
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 6: out to be. We had to work for everything. What't

373
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 6: sampling was new. All this was new to us.

374
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: We had to figure it out. Everybody did. They were

375
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: so close to everybody had to figure this out. It

376
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: wasn't no for the YouTube university. And that's how you

377
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: do it.

378
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: Well, there's no barrier to the there's no barrier entry anymore.

379
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: Nah.

380
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: You used to have to learn some ship as you

381
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: wanted to be a rapper. Even if you wanted to

382
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: be a rapper, it wasn't like it was every you know,

383
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: right now you can go online to buy three beats

384
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: for seventy five dollars.

385
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: That wouldn't less or less or less.

386
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: That wasn't cracking back then. So you either had to learn.

387
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: I know me, I would put the Paul's tapes together.

388
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: I would put the tapes you know where I had

389
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: that player and that would just make me an instrumental.

390
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: It would be off in someplace. And if you foxed

391
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: up once, you had to go back and do it again.

392
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: But you learn how to produce and you learn time.

393
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: And then you go to turntables because you were initially

394
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: outside of being a drummer, you were j yeah DJ,

395
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, d hen DJ Yellow. So most most DJs

396
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: are actually turned out to be the best producers.

397
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 4: Definitely that both me and Dre was DJs.

398
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 6: That's what we you learn, what the people like, you know,

399
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 6: because DJing ain't just all the scratching. That ain't dj

400
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 6: and is rocking a party from your time you know

401
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 6: to your end.

402
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 3: Ain't no sitting down. You know, back then it has

403
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: slow songs. You know, you have to break it down

404
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: every once in a while. It's about the programming. That's

405
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: what like producing. But due to this program in this song,

406
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: we're making what the chords gonna sound like, what this

407
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: gonna sound like.

408
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 6: At the beginning, all this stuff, we just brung DJing

409
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 6: into that world, and we had to learned producing on

410
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 6: the fly.

411
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: There wasn't no book, wasn't no call up New York.

412
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: How do you guys?

413
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Because I noticed on the earlier n w A albums

414
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: they had more like a real East Coast son was

415
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: break beats in there? Oh yeah, sins played over it's

416
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: still the West Coast.

417
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 5: We played more instruments, Yes, we started getting into playing

418
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 5: more instruments because everybody was sampling, you know, like you said,

419
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 5: sampling was new and thus for you would hear a

420
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 5: lot of the same breakbeats on certain songs and whatever.

421
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 5: So I think that's what made me getting to uh

422
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 5: when my dude shout out my people's will ez Uh.

423
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 5: It was what made me get in the studio with

424
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 5: him and start just having him play stuff and even

425
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 5: stuff I would just imagine. I used to keep a

426
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 5: fucking tape recorder, you know, want of them tape recorders

427
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 5: on me. Every time I would go somewhere, I don't

428
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 5: give a fuck if interviews, if I was on tour

429
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 5: or whatever, and melodies would come to my head, I

430
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: would hum the motherfuckers into my tape recorder and then

431
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 5: I would run back to the studio and I'd go listen,

432
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 5: and that motherfucker after about ten minutes so he was

433
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 5: in there producing, then I'll get a nigger, I wouldn't.

434
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 5: I don't take credit for.

435
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: That's you arranging.

436
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: That's that's how it came up.

437
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 5: With most of my beats off of my projects that

438
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 5: I would do. I would sit there and get high

439
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 5: and be on a motherfucking plane and just be like

440
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 5: thinking to myself, like, damn, that would be tight right

441
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: there being start humming the shit into the mother fucking

442
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 5: tape recorder, and then as soon as I get to

443
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: the hotel, I get on the phone with willie' Z

444
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 5: and I play the ship for him. And then he'd

445
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 5: called me back later and he'd have made a whole

446
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: song out what out M hummed? You know, so whatever whatever,

447
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 5: But like I said, we with with with fucking sampling

448
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: and all of that shit. Like I said, a lot

449
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 5: of the breakbeats and ship started being used.

450
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 4: On a lot of the same projects. So that's twelve X.

451
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 4: That's when you got into probably trying to play on what.

452
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 6: Made us turn after straight out of Compton. Seemed like

453
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 6: every lawyer, everybody came to us. Yeah, we was a

454
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:47,359

Speaker 6: You know something, I think about it every blue moon.

663
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 6: The problem was never in the group, never no arguments,

664
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 6: no nothing. The problem is the people on that circle

665
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 6: behind the group, right outside the group, right around you

666
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 6: should be getting this, You should be doing this, it's

667
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 6: the outsiders.

668
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: It wasn't the insiders that did the group. The Outsiders.

669
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm quite sure whoever's.

670
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 6: In cubes here then later Dre's here, then Rent. You know,

671
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 6: whatever happened with that, you know, it just but it

672
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 6: was the outsiders.

673
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 3: It was in the group.

674
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 6: No arguments, no nothing. I don't care what the movie showed.

675
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 6: There wasn't no arguments, none of that stuff.

676
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 3: I remember mixing the last album, Niggas for Life, and

677
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: we just me and Dre were laughing about stuff.

678
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 6: That's going on, you know with the DLC, and you know,

679
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 6: another person were laughing before we finished mixing. It was

680
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 6: totally different. I mean, I've seen some dirt. I don't

681
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: even talk about it. I don't even tell nobody.

682
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 3: But really I'm just like, oh my god, what's good man?

683
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: It was. I can tell you about the missing tapes.

684
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 3: I had the missing tapes the last album. We just

685
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 3: mixed it. We mixed the half inch quarter inch fatter base.

686
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 3: So I had the tapes at home.

687
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 8: And I dropped them off in that office and he

688
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 8: called me, tapes are gone. Uh, I just dropped them off,

689
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 8: He said, what, I just dropped them off?

690
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 6: M hmm.

691
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: Let me call you back. He never done another priority

692
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: song after that.

693
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: I was just like, are you serious? Those tapes?

694
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 3: The owner had the tapes. I put him in his head.

695
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: I delivered him too. He took him.

696
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking at other people know I'm out

697
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 6: of here. I don't even you know, he ain't my business.

698
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 6: It's old, that's gone, nothing coming back, you know, But

699
00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 6: it's it's.

700
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: The music game is a cold piece of word with.

701
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 4: The biggest.

702
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: And not trying to get controversial because I ain't to

703
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: stay on this, but would you say that Jerry Hiller

704
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 1: kind of took advantage of the situation.

705
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I ain't gonna talk bad Malvin because

706
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: he's when you getting paid from both sides. If you

707
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: don't know, it may not be dirty pool, but it's

708
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 3: a dirty game.

709
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: Not to speak bad on them.

710
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 5: But I'm just gonna say this, the music game has

711
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 5: always been made up of shady and shisty characters, especially

712
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 5: when it comes to our race and just the music

713
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 5: business period. As an artist, if you wasn't the fucking

714
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 5: owner of the label, you got fucked. And even if

715
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 5: you was the owner of the label, if you you know,

716
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 5: executives and those people have always had their hand in

717
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 5: controlled the music game. Uh, we've never been had a

718
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: fair share as as black artists or artist period. You

719
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 5: get fucked when you come into this business. I mean

720
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 5: it's never gonna be on the up and up, especially

721
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 5: from the days of us and for us see how

722
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 5: treacherous fucking music execs was so h that's just unfortunate

723
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 5: that it's just one of these motherfucking games to where

724
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 5: you have to really come in at your own risk

725
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 5: and if you ain't as smart enough to know books smart.

726
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 4: You know the odds and ends, you're done. Yeah, because

00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: I don't think he did.

785
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 6: I don't think because I got a picture from his

786
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 6: last public picture, which was December of ninety four. I

787
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 6: can look at that picture because I took one because

788
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 6: he gave me a birthday party in the year before

789
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 6: he gave me one. I can compare both pictures. He's

790
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 6: smaller in the ninety four to one compared to the

791
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 6: ninety three. But he didn't know nothing, because matter of fact,

792
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 6: that January we went to Vegas and the first time

793
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 6: I ever was in the room wining because they ran

794
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 6: out of the rooms, so I had to stay in

795
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 6: the room when he nothing like that. He didn't know

796
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 6: nothing at all. I don't think, you know something. I

797
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 6: thought about it like once or twice. Whatever happened happened.

798
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 6: It can't be changed. He can't come back. I mean,

799
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 6: it was a cold piece of work. Whatever was done,

800
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 6: if it was done, I don't know. He loved females,

801
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 6: so you know, he could have caught it. I don't know,

802
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 6: you know, but they say back then it's harder to

803
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 6: catch it from a female.

804
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: He had to be the other way and stuff.

805
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: It's hardy, something about the and the penis.

806
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's just however, it's hard to I'll

807
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: tell you all after.

808
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 5: I'll tell you all after be looking at him like

809
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 5: so was like he gave me that look like I

810
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 5: have's the answer for that, but to just chill out

811
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 5: in I'm looking at that.

812
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: But he never mentioned, never, never said nothing like that.

813
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: I know he didn't know.

814
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: And then another key thing too, This is where I'm

815
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: not a conspiracy guy. He ain't tell me I am,

816
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: but you it's a little bit. But give us that

817
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: slap us with it.

818
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: This is my thing.

819
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: He excited that he did. He had an insurance policy

820
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: written up two months before he died.

821
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about that.

822
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 6: We had done insurance companies when Dre was still there,

823
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 6: Lords of London. I remember that because they had to

824
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 6: take blood. So I'm like, but who's you know, who's

825
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 6: I didn't know nothing about beneficiary, who.

826
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 3: Gets the money? They was like million dollar policies on

827
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: me on Dre. I'm quite sure Eric had a couple

828
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 3: of million. Somebody had them policy.

829
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 2: Discussion for like why did you guys get it? What

830
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:18,959
Speaker 2: made it happen?

831
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 6: Then it just was oh, we're gonna get some insurance

832
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 6: on your hands and this and that.

833
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, they cover stuff like that.

834
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 7: And I remember we went there, drew the blood and

835
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 7: they had got insurance policies. Of course, you know, it

836
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 7: wasn't Eric's idea.

837
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 3: It was the other guys the idea. I'm quite sure.

838
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 6: And I can imagine who got the money from if

839
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 6: they kept the policy up all that time.

840
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm quite sure they did well.

841
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 2: It sounds like the obviously I don't know. This is

842
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: pure speculation, but in the middle it sounds like the

843
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 2: type of situation where some of the athletes will do insurance,

844
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 2: like when they're in college. So if they go pro

845
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: and they're playing football or something and they break their leg,

846
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 2: they can't play.

847
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, insurance, So if Dre broke.

848
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: His arm, he couldn't produce her that's what they That's

849
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: what they got us on.

850
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 3: It was body or so whatever. But there was a

851
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: million dollar policy.

852
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: Well, I guess the record company would be the beneficiary.

853
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 6: Which are the manager, yeah, the person and the should

854
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 6: have been it should have been both, or are my

855
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 6: family or his family?

856
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: To me, that's a conflict of interest because the thing is,

857
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 1: sometimes an artist is more valuable dead than heels alive.

858
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, if you figure if you've got a dudes catalog, right,

859
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: artists to go eventually leave somebody anyway. I don't care

860
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: how tight y'all whatever, Every situation is going one day

861
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: come to an end of recording business. Because this guy's

862
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna get big one day and he's gonna see in

863
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: his head, it don't make no sense to give you

864
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: thirty no more.

865
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 4: I need that.

866
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 1: I'm further along in my career, so I'm going about

867
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: my business. Think about it. If you missed the record company, man,

868
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: you got an insurance, man, well shit, this motherfucker died.

869
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: I get a million dollars in.

870
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 3: I got a whole.

871
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: Motherfucking reels his ass back there as soon as we

874
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: We gonna get all the money.

875
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: Oh huh.

00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 6: I mean it's a cold business. It's more colder than

Speaker 6: the streets. The streets, ain't that cold?

878
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:31,399

00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: being the rap game, it's like being in the dope game.

882
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 4: Man, it is. It's treacherous.

00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: Because you seemed like a dude to just.

895
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 4: Tell the truth.

896
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I did, just because I told him

897
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 6: about that scene in the in the movie.

898
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 3: He said, what was y'all do? He called me the

899
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 3: night before the chot he said, what happened when the song?

900
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 4: I just I told him. He got us.

901
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 3: That's all was discussed. It wasn't no discussions. He got us.

902
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 3: He made a whole song about us. We never made

903
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 3: a whole song about it. We had snippets and commercials,

904
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: a few hits here and that, but he made a

905
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 3: whole song. So that was it.

906
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 4: That was all it was.

907
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't no oh man, we're gonna kill nah. It

908
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: just he got us.

909
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he came with some shit. Y'all threw a rock

910
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: at him. He hits you up, came, y'all threw a

911
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: rock and cube. He came black. He wasn't bullshit. So

912
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: do you think all that stuff could have been rectified.

913
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 3: Before he died. He talked to Cube in New York.

914
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: I think he talked to Dre. It was some talks

915
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 3: going on. I don't know about what, but it was

916
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 3: some kind of talks going on. Rin came back around.

917
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: We did a couple of the songs on his last album,

918
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 3: Man produced for him, and it was.

919
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if it would have ever came, anything

920
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 6: would have happened, but at least the talks was there.

921
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 3: I don't have a guilty conscience. I sleep good at night.

922
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 3: I was there, you know.

923
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 6: I was just because when Dre was finna leave, I

924
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 6: remember him calling me, I'm gone. You know, I'm thinking

925
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 6: six in the morning. I'm looking over what's.

926
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: In my bed? Yeah in the morning, okay.

927
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 6: And I told him I'll call you back. It took

928
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 6: twenty five years later before I told him. I went

929
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 6: to his house and he had I said, I didn't

930
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 6: choose a side. I was thrown into that you left

931
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 6: at that particular time.

932
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 3: I didn't know you was leaving. I didn't know what

933
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: you was talking about then, easy and I just like,

934
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: I just stood my ground and I'm just here with he.

935
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 3: I didn't picky. Yeah, I should have left with Dre,

936
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: but I just stayed where something told me to just stay.

937
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: Because you and Drey was pretty much production partners. Yeah,

938
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: oh yeah, because y'all did everything together.

939
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,600

01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Did that miss you up any.

1327
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 10: For well, the whole situation did, because I found out

1328
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,560
Speaker 10: from the streets first, So rumors was going, I'm like

1329
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 10: what they talk about because originally how I got out

1330
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 10: as a nurse or somebody ran her mouth outside the.

1331
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 3: Hospital and it spread like or the news even did it.

1332
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 3: It was already in the streets.

1333
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 4: She could have got sued for that. Was it big?

1334
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 2: Because I remember in the East Coast it was big

1335
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 2: that they sat big that he came had ages.

1336
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 3: Did y'all ever hear that? I ain't never heard.

1337
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 4: I think I heard that I was big in Maryland.

1338
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 4: I heard we were all like, that's just or was

1339
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 4: it really?

1340
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 2: That was before Easy, which made it all the crazier

1341
01:08:58,520 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 2: one about Easy.

1342
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 6: I mean when I finally I think it didn't hit

1343
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 6: me until I went up to the hospital. I know

1344
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 6: Dre had came maybe an hour before me, And when

1345
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 6: I came, nobody told me he was in a coma.

1346
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 3: You know, they put him in a coma, and I'm

1347
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 3: just talking and doing all kinds of stuff.

1348
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 4: I get out.

1349
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, we forgot to tell you an induced coma.

1350
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 3: You tell me that before I come in here. He's

1351
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 3: some prayer, you know, What's so crazy? When I was

1352
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,759
Speaker 3: talking to him, he moved his hand. Yeah he probably

1353
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 3: can hear you, bro, Yeah he can. He moved his

1354
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:43,520
Speaker 3: hand because.

1355
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: You know you ever notice how sometimes when you at home,

1356
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: you fall asleep with the TV on, and you'll be dreaming,

1357
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: and you might dream about chasing some motherfuckers and some

1358
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: mother fuckers chasing you, and you wake up and you

1359
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,600
Speaker 1: look on TV as the same exact shit going on.

1360
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 2: That's never happened to me still, but yeah, but that

1361
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 2: to me before.

1362
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 4: My brain is always on high alert. Whatever that weed.

1363
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: But he probably knew you was, you know, not I

1364
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: knew you in the room, but he probably filed.

1365
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 6: I think he knew because I said something and he

1366
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 6: squeezed your hand a little bit, moved his fingers because

1367
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 6: he ain't. You can't move once you're in that coma,

1368
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 6: because after the surgery they put him in that, you know,

1369
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 6: because I think he was trying to pull off the

1370
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 6: tube or whatever, the breathing machine.

1371
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, he definitely moved his hand. That kind of.

1372
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 6: It kind of triggered me because once the funeral came,

1373
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 6: which maybe three weeks later or something, and once I

1374
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 6: seen them pound the dirt.

1375
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 3: I have never seen nothing like that before. I mean

1376
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 3: they put him in the ground, put the dirt, got.

1377
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 6: The bulldozer and all this, and everybody left and I

1378
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 6: was just there, like three or four people, and I thought,

1379
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 6: I said, you know something, this is it for me.

1380
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 3: That's it. Music was over till this day. I just

1381
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 3: told Dre this a few months ago, and a few

1382
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 3: months before that. I'm good. I don't want to do

1383
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 3: with music. I ain't thinking about music. It's no big thing.

1384
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 3: I had it. It was fun, it's gone. It's just

1385
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 3: out of me, completely out of me. And I think

1386
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 3: that day it wasn't no. Oh should I know. I

1387
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 3: just like, I'm done with music, was done. Yeah, I

1388
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 3: jumped into my next venture. But I.

1389
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: Want to ask you about that too.

1390
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 3: Man.

1392
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 5: took you from from nothing to the beginnings with lines

1393
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 5: and that?

1394
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I mean I think that's what it was like. Okay,

1395
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 3: I'm good. I mean, ain't no big thing. Cause see

1396
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 3: much as me and Dre was together doing stuff, he

1397
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 3: wanted it more than I did. You give me this

1398
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars. I'm good, I'm satisfied.

1399
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 6: I never wanted that rich in all this old Yeah,

1400
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:24,360

1719
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: you know what, you had the compilation before that.

1720
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 2: But that's not really an album that was.

1721
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 3: That's not an album, no, you know what it is.

1722
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 6: That came out because Priority was waiting on us to

1723
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 6: come back when another album. So they got a hold

1724
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 6: of them old masters and put it together and made ends.

1725
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 3: It went gold. Ain't mad, but that was. And I

1726
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 3: was talking to the people at the Rock and Roll

1727
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 3: I said, you know, we only made two albums. They

1728
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:17,680
Speaker 3: looked at me like.

1729
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 6: We made two albums in an EP that's it. People

1730
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:24,799
Speaker 6: think we made a whole bunch.

1731
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Of albums, Well, it was that impactful. You didn't have

1732
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: to make a whole bunch of it was just that impactful.

1733
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was just at that critical time for a

1734
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 5: lot of people who were coming.

1735
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:41,639
Speaker 4: Of age in that era of you know, gangs being

1736
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 4: recognized and.

1737
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, like I said, a lot of shit

1738
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 5: was focused on the East Coast, you know, warrior movies, and.

1739
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:52,799
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was a difference.

1740
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:57,360
Speaker 5: It wasn't a lot being being shown and represented as

1741
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 5: far as California was concerned. So for us to be

1742
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 5: able to come out at that time, like I said,

1743
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 5: and follow movies like Colors and shit like that with

1744
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 5: with music that depicted what niggas had seen on screen

1745
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 5: a couple of years before, and like, wait a minute,

1746
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 5: the niggas out there with the red and blue and

1747
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 5: they gang. It made niggas curious. And then now you

1748
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 5: got some local dudes who come from you know, the

1749
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 5: actuality of it, like these ain't no motherfucking actors or

1750
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 5: no motherfucker you know, these are niggas who grew up

1751
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 5: in Compton and they actually seeing the gang bang and

1752
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:45,839
Speaker 5: the dope selling and the police brutality and the poverty

1753
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 5: and all of that.

1754
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 4: So It fascinated motherfucker.

1755
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 5: So that's why at the time it was just like

1756
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 5: it was just different from regular rap music.

1757
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,599
Speaker 3: It definitely fascinated the suburbs, definitely.

1758
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 5: It just it fascinated the world because motherfuckers wanted to know.

1759
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 5: Like I said, we never got the spotlight put on

1760
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 5: us as far as California was concerned. When you talked about,

1761
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:16,920
Speaker 5: you know, gangs or you talked about fucked up living,

1762
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 5: it was always the Bronx and Brooklyn in New York, and.

1763
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 4: You know, it was always that.

1764
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 5: You know, it was never like, well, let's go over

1765
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 5: here and see what the you know, we wasn't respected

1766
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 5: as far as rap music was.

1767
01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 3: We weren't too more like them because we had grass

1768
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 3: in the front yard.

1769
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:36,720
Speaker 4: I think with the you know, the.

1770
01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 5: Making what niggas was going through as far as like

1771
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 5: I said, with the once niggas saw colors, it was

1772
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 5: like whoa, you get me? And once they heard ice

1773
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 5: tea with colors, and then it was the gang shit

1774
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 5: and the niggas saw that little clip where niggas was

1775
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 5: in the jail, everybody throwing up their hoods and you

1776
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 5: got crips on one side, and that fascinated the world,

1777
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 5: and now you got niggas putting out record.

1778
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. The movie is something different.

1779
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:09,720
Speaker 5: Nigga, I get to ride around in my car every

1780
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:12,439

01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,599
Speaker 4: It was different.

1785
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 5: It was unheard of to hear that type of ship,

1786
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:29,600
Speaker 5: especially when it's not seen on the screen of a

1787

01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 4: It's just when you learn to be content.

2048
01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 5: Man, its just it's like whatever, man, like, I'm whatever.

01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 5: most wanted, and doing this and doing that and leaving

2062
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:56,880
