I've been a fan of these guys. 0:00:38.690 --> 0:00:40.930 Watched them come up. We was on the road together 0:00:40.990 --> 0:00:44.130 a few stops, popping up, doing our thing. He one 0:00:44.190 --> 0:00:48.199 of the illest spitters, man. Let's welcome my brother Bazaar 0:00:48.220 --> 0:00:51.740 to the building from D12. You know what it is. 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.320 What's up, my guy? 0:00:53.380 --> 0:00:54.440 What's cracking with you? 0:00:54.540 --> 0:00:57.020 How you been, man? Yo, I just seen you on 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.840 the net. Your pin game is still elite. 0:00:59.890 --> 0:01:01.870 My guy. Man, man, thanks, thanks. 0:01:01.890 --> 0:01:05.730 Yo, yo, so what's been the motivation to still even 0:01:05.750 --> 0:01:08.810 be like, yo, I'm going to get back into this? 0:01:10.490 --> 0:01:15.190 I met this producer that was like an underground producer. 0:01:15.250 --> 0:01:17.700 He didn't even like to leave his basement. 0:01:18.370 --> 0:01:20.630 Them the best ones. Them the best ones. 0:01:20.910 --> 0:01:23.709 So I started going over to his basement and recording. 0:01:24.390 --> 0:01:26.830 And he had a lot of, like, young, hungry MCs 0:01:26.910 --> 0:01:29.280 over there. So it just started reminding me when we 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.980 was growing up. You know what I'm saying? Like, just 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.880 the grittiness of it. So I couldn't let the little 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.920 young niggas beat me on the verses. So it started 0:01:39.940 --> 0:01:41.380 getting competitive in that basement. 0:01:41.620 --> 0:01:43.729 No way. Still to this day, you're like, I'm going 0:01:43.750 --> 0:01:44.990 to spec these little niggas. 0:01:45.030 --> 0:01:45.610 Right, yeah. 0:01:45.630 --> 0:01:48.230 That's right. But that's what make your pen sharp. 0:01:48.270 --> 0:01:51.070 And that's the thing I used to miss when Rockefeller 0:01:51.110 --> 0:01:53.590 was over, that it wasn't nobody. 0:01:53.250 --> 0:01:55.730 To sit there and like spar with. You know what 0:01:55.750 --> 0:01:55.970 I mean? 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.160 Because sitting in the room with everybody rapping, it made 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.520 you feel like, what you say? 0:02:00.540 --> 0:02:03.020 Hold on, I'm going to murder him. And then now, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.500 that's dope, man. So you said spar, you mean like? Like, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.040 almost like boxing, like, but you just sparring, but with 0:02:10.060 --> 0:02:12.260 the lyrics. So, was y'all, like, letting each other hear 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.960 each other's verses before y'all spit them, or? 0:02:14.100 --> 0:02:16.760 Yeah. Okay. Like, we'll be sitting there in the room together, 0:02:16.780 --> 0:02:20.850 nigga be like, yo, look, I got this eight, look, ah, ah, ah, ah. 0:02:20.870 --> 0:02:21.670 See, now, we don't do that. 0:02:21.690 --> 0:02:25.770 We don't let nobody hear verses, but you'll look at 0:02:25.790 --> 0:02:28.070 the nigga in the corner, and you see how he 0:02:28.090 --> 0:02:31.639 looking like. I'm like, damn, he got some shit. Let 0:02:32.180 --> 0:02:38.740 me go back. That nigga look like he. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:02:39.650 --> 0:02:42.010 What the fuck is he writing over there? You know 0:02:42.030 --> 0:02:42.410 what I'm saying? 0:02:42.669 --> 0:02:44.950 That's crazy that now we used to be in there 0:02:45.090 --> 0:02:48.850 and spit to each other. A person like Freeway would 0:02:48.870 --> 0:02:51.480 do that. Freeway would be over there like this. You'd 0:02:51.500 --> 0:02:52.480 be like, the fuck? 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:53.320 What are you doing? 0:02:53.620 --> 0:02:55.690 And then you knew his flow was different. So I 0:02:55.710 --> 0:02:58.730 agree with that. But before we go to now, me, 0:02:58.750 --> 0:03:01.430 like I said, bro, I'm a fan. I've been here 0:03:01.470 --> 0:03:03.790 from the beginning. I love what y'all do. I love 0:03:03.810 --> 0:03:06.670 what y'all did. Take us back to the beginning, man, 0:03:06.710 --> 0:03:09.310 the Detroit days. What was life like back then? 0:03:09.860 --> 0:03:15.140 Man, Detroit. Detroit was wild, man. It was crazy. It 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.900 was wild and crazy. And it was like, a little 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.799 small community, which is the hip-hop scene, the J Dillas 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.060 and all the, we was basically trying to survive in 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:25.700 that motherfucker. 0:03:25.740 --> 0:03:28.619 That's right. That's right. So I think my biggest fight 0:03:28.660 --> 0:03:31.399 was to stay hip-hop. You know what I'm saying? Because 0:03:31.419 --> 0:03:34.220 I come from a gangster city. So it's like. Pimps 0:03:34.300 --> 0:03:35.410 and players. Yeah. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.670 That's my first time in the D, man. It was 0:03:38.710 --> 0:03:42.130 pimps and players, minks and gators out there on the strip. 0:03:42.350 --> 0:03:44.730 The hoes running loose, baby. Man, yeah. 0:03:48.790 --> 0:03:51.220 So that's what's up, man. So Detroit always had a 0:03:51.300 --> 0:03:55.460 serious underground battle rap scene. You know, before the rest 0:03:55.500 --> 0:03:58.400 of the world even paid attention to what was going 0:03:58.500 --> 0:04:01.240 on out there, y'all was definitely putting it down on 0:04:01.260 --> 0:04:02.720 the battle rap underground. 0:04:03.370 --> 0:04:05.550 How did that shape you as an MC? 0:04:06.750 --> 0:04:12.730 Man, it sharpened my skills, man, because we used to 0:04:12.770 --> 0:04:16.740 battle every week, and it was just something serious, man. 0:04:16.860 --> 0:04:19.760 It was like, It was like, damn, what he gonna say? 0:04:19.779 --> 0:04:20.839 What he gonna come with? 0:04:20.900 --> 0:04:25.480 And then we had random battles to where they put 0:04:25.500 --> 0:04:27.969 everybody's name in a hat and they shake it up. 0:04:28.930 --> 0:04:30.990 And whoever, two names come out, y'all gotta battle with 0:04:31.010 --> 0:04:32.929 each other. So I gotta have. 0:04:32.830 --> 0:04:34.650 A couple lines in my head just in case I 0:04:34.690 --> 0:04:36.670 run into you in a battle. Damn. 0:04:37.430 --> 0:04:40.560 Damn, so y'all was just shitting on random niggas. Imagine 0:04:40.580 --> 0:04:42.580 you never battled them. You like, I just got a 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.940 random verse crucifying you, fam. 0:04:47.820 --> 0:04:49.200 You got to stay sharp, man. You got to stay 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.380 on your toes. Nah, that's what's up, man. But you, right, 0:04:52.540 --> 0:04:53.420 let's get to this. 0:04:53.580 --> 0:04:57.960 Your style was completely different from everybody else, man. Like, 0:04:58.020 --> 0:05:01.000 and not me, I'm intrigued. Like, how did you develop that? 0:05:01.020 --> 0:05:02.760 And what made you even feel like, yo, I'm going 0:05:02.779 --> 0:05:05.779 to go this way? Man, I think I've always been 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.520 a bizarre kid, man. That was my rap name when 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.940 I first started off. My teacher, I used to be 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.200 in the class, like, rapping to myself. She thought I 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.340 was talking to myself. So they used to start calling 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.280 me the bizarre kid. 0:05:17.110 --> 0:05:21.089 So I just think, man, just my personality and how 0:05:21.110 --> 0:05:25.570 I look at shit, because I'm really like a comedian, too. So, yeah, 0:05:25.970 --> 0:05:27.870 I think I've just always been different. 0:05:27.910 --> 0:05:28.229 I'd say. 0:05:28.670 --> 0:05:31.410 That's what's up, man. Your style was always different, and 0:05:31.630 --> 0:05:34.930 you stood out, like, a lot. But I got to 0:05:34.970 --> 0:05:38.060 give my guy, like, how did the relationship start? Rest 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.479 in peace, my guy Proof, because he was an elite spitter. Like, 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.680 you know certain people from certain regions, you hear them, 0:05:45.700 --> 0:05:48.190 and you're like, Man, that nigga sound like he from 0:05:48.210 --> 0:05:49.030 the block with us. 0:05:49.070 --> 0:05:50.450 Yeah, yeah, great. 0:05:50.490 --> 0:05:53.090 How did that relationship with, you know, him and the 0:05:53.130 --> 0:05:54.950 whole D12, how did y'all link up? 0:05:55.690 --> 0:05:58.970 Man, Proof, I met him at the hip hop shop. 0:06:00.830 --> 0:06:04.810 He was like one of the most known rappers in 0:06:04.830 --> 0:06:09.180 the underground. And I went to the hip hop shop 0:06:09.210 --> 0:06:12.520 and I rapped. And he was looking up top. He 0:06:12.540 --> 0:06:15.589 was like on this like tower or something. Did he? 0:06:16.180 --> 0:06:17.920 He came down like, y'all want me to come down there? 0:06:18.620 --> 0:06:20.620 And then he jumped in the cypher and he heard me. 0:06:20.779 --> 0:06:24.000 And he was like, yo, man.
