I was like no. He was like good. 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:26.480 He was like good. I was like, what's funny to me? 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.920 Is I think it's because so we did a conversation 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:34.360 right about selling soul and still sound like the devil red? 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.680 Here's what you tripping forward?

Like Pops gave me a 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.440 good look when I was a kid. We never even 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.040 talked about it, fear me. So there's a lot of 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.520 respect for his name with me, you feel me? And 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.200 what he was able to do for the record with 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.600 that pretty much changed the music industry. My boy Reggie right, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.840 I said, with it, O J, what up? What up 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:03.720 blasting a loan man doing today? Motherfucking Still still he 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.600 was on you though he was on steale ass. He 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:06.960 was like, man, I'm nick trying to get you to 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.400 sell your soul. He didn't even say nothing about Peter. 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.880 I think it's accepted when white people sell out, they 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:20.400 expect you know what. The thing with these fans, though, man, 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.799 these people listen to these podcasts if they take everything 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:28.520 so literally, Man, everything with them is literal, like like 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.680 they don't know, they don't know the artist. Just motherfucker 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.640 being sarcastic, you know what I mean, Just being sarcastic. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.960 But how do you feel that way? If somebody are 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:38.880 from you a bunch of money that um to make 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.560 a malt liquor, why not take it? Okay? So if 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.359 somebody somebody wanted me to ask you this, they said, 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.560 how much money would you want to sell your soul? Well, 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.240 I wouldn't sell my soul. If it was the sex thing. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.919 If you could literally make a deal with the definiten 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.399 to sell your soul, I wouldn't do it. I can't 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.839 sell my soul. I can't sell my eternity. That would 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.960 be stupid, Peter. You ever, back in the day, there 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.160 was there was people who are selling their souls on 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:12.640 the Craigslist. Remember that that's the real thing. What would 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.920 you take for yourself, Peter, I don't know. Depends on 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:21.760 depends on what I need that day. When you make 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.519 a deal with the devil, bro, it's gonna be some 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.600 trickery because I'd be the type of motherfucker with my 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.320 luck I sell my soul and get hit by a 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.000 car as soon as I walked outside of some ship. 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.840 Like I'm saying, no, but what if I wanted to 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.480 buy yourself? You couldn't buy my soul, Bro, I couldn't 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.760 my soul. Red selling your soul and you tell letting 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.760 NICs in your comments to eat a dick? Redd? Would 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.520 you tell yourself do you believe in souls? Ridge work? 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.160 Because I'm I think like Norman, as soon as I 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.200 felt my soul or something like that, it seems like 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.680 everything bad to start happening. It was. It was an 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.400 episode of The Simpsons right where Bart where meal House 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.600 Bob Bar soul. Bart believe in souls, so meal House 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.720 bought bar soul for five dollars and like Bart was 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.119 having a dream where he died and him and Mealhouse 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.600 died and they needed to roll their selves across St. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.880 Peter's Gate and it was a two or boat. So 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.599 it was supposed to be you and your soul right rowing? 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.200 You know, over to the to heaven, and meal House 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.039 was sitting in the back of the boat and his 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.760 male house soul and Barsol was both rolling him and 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.640 bart was just rolling in the circle. I don't know 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.800 why I remember that right now. Good, but that's just 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.480 thinking about No, No, I wouldn't you know what's funny? 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:40.760 The conversation came out rich, how much would you sell 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:46.120 your manhood? You won't feel your manhood for nothing, but 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.840 you'll sell your soul. I wouldn't sell my soul or 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:54.400 my manhood. My manhood is a pretty priceless um. And 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.480 then that episode of the Census. I needed to roll 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.679 it just in case God let me in. I needed 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.960 to roll to heaven. So I can't let go. I 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.760 might be stuck in that ocean. That purgatory you know, 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:11.320 and you what you Catholic of them? No, only Catholics 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.960 believe in purgatory. Purgatory got did away with bro I think, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.920 so that's what you got if you're Christian, that would 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.440 say only people to believe in purgatory. Still to my 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:24.039 knowledge of the Catholics, so you don't think Christian Catholics 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.360 said the Sime share the sign religion to a degree, 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.040 Oh no, they only believe a hundred forty four thousand 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.599 going to heaven. They believe everybody. They don't believe you're 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:38.479 going to purgatory, heaven or hell. I think that years 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.000 to believe in the hundt four thousand, how many more? 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.760 How much of it? I think Jehovahs Witness believed that 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:50.000 only a hundred four. I was raised Catholic. All the 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.839 Catechism and all those classes and all that church school stuff, 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.720 I never heard any of that. You never heard a 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.560 number that might be, that that might be, But it 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.480 wasn't like something that was talked to about as part 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.040 of the faith in the Catholic religion. It was never 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.920 anything high school and that's all they talked about with purgatory. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:09.920 Was so mad that my parents and made the every 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.120 day high school. There's there was something that they talked 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:18.000 about having to do with like um so sort of 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:23.160 timing with like the sacrament of whatever and then like 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.320 the funeral and the ascension process. But there wasn't like 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.600 a strand there wasn't a whole lot of emphasis being 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.680 talked about like you can get stuck in purgatory and 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.560 definitely or whatever. Mm hmm, Okay, so when I heard 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.240 it was purgatory hill, heaven and hill and so many 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.159 amount will getting into heaven. But I could be wrong 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.520 because that's not a religion I study. I just heard 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.880 it in the tenth grade. And Captain Catholicism. Captain you 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.080 know you know the stays Yeah you might, You might 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.719 be right, Reggie. It was a catechism to um because 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.760 you know Chris went to bost he didn't participate in 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.720 then that stuff either, Um, Well, you know Catholicism started. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.800 They're the center piece of Christianity. Who told you that? 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.240 I mean, that's if you actually know the history of 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:12.120 Peter was the first of the Catholic Church. So serious m. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.640 I didn't know that. Yeah, a non Christian, actually a 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.600 non Christian actually created Christianity. Well he didn't, he didn't. 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.320 I take that back. That's a lot. He orchestrated the meeting. 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.560 That's how we see the structure of Christianity. And then 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.560 when he was about to die, like they say he 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.560 was like ten minutes before he died, he had to 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.800 priests come in and make him a Christian. I was like, 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.560 that is some chicken ship ship to do. You're about 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.080 to die, that hold come on God, like make God, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.520 ain't stupid, get your ass at the game, like no 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:50.440 nigger shouldn't talk about this politics and religion. So we've 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:55.040 got to move on. Shut up to everybody. But we 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.720 need what you believe as long as to make you 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:01.600 a good person? How much about character and heart? Have 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.280 a good character and try to have a good heart 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.320 for sure, because believe me, wicked Christians and righteous atheists 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.200 exactly don't know about that. That's like san like Donald Trump. 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.120 There's good people on both sides. But look, so ch 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.880 do you believe in that type of thing that people 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:23.200 can sell a soul? I believe people have done it 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:28.120 and and and do it, but I don't believe. I don't. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.560 You know, I don't. I don't. I wouldn't condone it. 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:36.040 I couldn't do it because Steve is not worth it 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.520 to me. You know, I used to tell people all 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.560 the time when I was a police officer, I didn't 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:42.880 make as much money as I did when I was 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.880 running death row in that my security company and all 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.600 of that. But you know, I was a happier person 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.440 in my opinion. I had more stuff, in my opinion, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.199 and more and better credit. And from my point, of 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.480 being exact if you're learned to adjust to to what 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.480 you have. And when you started getting more like that, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.720 soon one more money, more problems. Yeah, he got that 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.880 one right for motherfucker's so okay. Listen. So still accused 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:17.839 a record exact out of Compton of selling his soul right, 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.600 and I wouldn't sold us saying he was a devil worshiper. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.880 It's a big difference. That's the same thing, ad because 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.960 he loved top Dogs. That's all he ever talking about 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.839 Top Dog and top from Watts he was talking about 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.839 he was talking about easy Oh right, But I don't 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.199 want to get into that. We're gonna hold that for 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.560 another thing when no easy slander, no Compton legends landers. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.800 So what I'm asking, right is, you know a lot 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.880 of people told me that coming into the business, that 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.840 should solder soul. A lot of people told me that, 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.640 and I didn't really believe it. I believe anytime a 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.000 black man is successful, brothers from where we come from, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.440 they have to figure out why they're not successful, so 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.680 on other people they start putting bullshit beliefs. Do you think, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.079 at any need being around, should you funk with him 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.440 more than everybody that he was like he sold his 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:13.360 soul or was evil. I believe Sugar was the most 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.720 generous person I've ever met in my life. That's my opinion. 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.840 But when he turned on you, he turned on you 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.360 and a lot of these people. If people watched the 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.680 recent interview has been done duel and all of them, 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.320 Danny Boy and all of them. The people have never 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.560 put out in an album on Death Row. But they're 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:40.000 talking about two surgeries, they're talking about monthlies. They're talking 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.240 about um all this money that was being spent on 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.000 now and how they were living and looking and stuff, 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.040 and never put out an album one Death Row. And 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.880 all these people want a bad mouthing now, but he 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.160 was taking care of of a lot of people. People 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.480 just got mad when he cuts you off. And where 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.880 he messed up at and I meant he messed up 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.400 by not having a royalty department. But in my opinion, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.040 and for what I know, and once everybody sit down 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.080 and do the accounting and stuff, man, you will find 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.679 out that this man overpaid all of his artists. That 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.000 I believe that if you just look, you'd have been 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.600 in the game. Glasses. You know what an album? People 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:30.480 don't tell what an album really generates you million dollar 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.079 Artists like palk And and Snoop were if they were 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:39.120 getting a dollar a record back there dollar they weren't recouping. 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.360 So that's five million, tim million dollars. You don't learned 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.160 on all types of expenses and stuff like that within 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.680 that period of time that the brothers done. Guy, I 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.800 mean Snoop had a four and a half million dollar 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.280 legal fee and a judgment money put an album model 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.320 on death front and I'm glad you told me that. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.000 I'm glad you said at that because when I talked 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.840 to him. One of the coolest things about shig Um 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.880 when I first met him, how I met him was 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.280 um I had met Ron and Don first. Right, Ron 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.920 and Don worked with my engineer, Guido and um, so 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.880 they talked to me about him and they always talked 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.440 spoke highly like he was a good dude. Um I 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.800 had wrote. My first single was a song called Certified 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.440 with a Con and like, you know, like I was 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.240 super good at like straight gang member wise, I really 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.000 didn't give a funk and I was out there with it. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.920 And it was a line in the song where I say, um, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.719 I'm laughing at these rap niggas running from Sugar, right. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.840 So I remember like it was more of me of 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.880 a staff to niggas that was acting like they were 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.400 street niggas, but it was a nigga that was pumping 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.080 that must fear in their heart, right, So I just 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.400 presented myself in the way that like, it's no nigga 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.040 gonna pump, no fear the nigga who is the most 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.319 scariest nigga. That's how I went about rapping, you know, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.560 I mean, let niggas know right off the rip. So 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.960 a couple of my homies was like, yeah, man, should 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.520 have heard that line some so forth so forth, And 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.000 I'm like, yeah, that's cool, you know what I mean, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.000 Like I ain't tripping like Sugar solid like. And at 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:06.880 that time, you know, I knew so many niggas from 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.480 the mob, Like I used to go over there all 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.199 the time. Mikey Rules my boys able wresting peace. A 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.240 couple niggas is my guys term a couple of niggas, right, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.920 So I really didn't have no issue. I went to 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.240 the House of Blues and performed it, and he was 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.280 there because he was on the second floor. Fear me 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:31.240 standing up right, So I'm busting the ship. I'm going crazy. Um, 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.120 I'm with Tip, I'm opening for Tip, and uh, I'm 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.720 wrapping it. And I've seen so you know, you know 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.960 how they make us where we're from, is they make 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.040 us this way, like, oh, let me triple that up, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.559 let me really put it there. So niggas no. So 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.520 I'm laughing at these rap niggas running for sure. Shu 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.560 stood up, put his arms out in the whole crowd. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.679 Look back at him, and I'm going, I'm just talking, Cray, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.320 I'm just wrapping my rap. So when I get off 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.000 the stage, he comes to the back. We introduced each other, 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.439 you know, obviously should nice. I sized him. I'm like, Nigga, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.360 we'll be cold squabble. Nigga is a fair one, you know. 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.600 But it wasn't that type of energy. It was like 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.360 more I could tell he was proud that I could Nigga, 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.320 that he could that he knew was something got clogged, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.319 got close enough to get into the business. So it 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.360 was nothing. But this is two thousand seven. That's two 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.640 thousand seven eight. Okay, later it is late. You've got 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.240 a different ship. Let me be honest. Two thousand shigs 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:34.080 two thousand seven. Ship was not two different ship nights. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.360 I had money and power, the other one, yeah, a 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:44.320 little bit of power, no money, but he had different 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:50.080 crew running with him, had two boys. He had niggas 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.080 that would would he had two boys somewhere and it 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.760 doesn't buried you in rape you. Yeah, yeah, he had 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.080 some boys. He had some boys seven. He was running 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.480 with Denver Lanes, not saying that they weren't there for anything, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.400 but there wasn't as loyal to him because they're from 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.360 a different neighborhood. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew that. I 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.280 knew that. I knew the niggas he was running away 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.480 from Lanes then with some of my boys too. But 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.400 long story short, it was never like the line, wasn't 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.160 ever a disrespectful line about ship. So to me, like 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.560 when he embraced me, he actually is the first legend 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.880 from the coast to me to truly embrace me like man, 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.120 you know, like his energy was like, man, welcome to 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.280 the business. Don't let these niggas play you, because they're 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.280 gonna try to play you. So we start building from 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.800 that point on. You know, we built a great relationship. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.360 And one of the things I talked to him about 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.160 and asked him about was snoop? I was like, man, 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.560 what's the whole thing with the money. He started explaining 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.400 to me how much he spent in getting him out 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:52.280 of prison and when keeping him from Yeah, yeah, from getting. 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.640 That's why I said, from from getting, he'd have been 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.960 in prison. I mean it was a simple case. So 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:06.800 somebody legs, yeah, so exactly, so not no nigga, No, hope, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.000 God don't do that. That's not know. He wouldn't. Long 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.960 story short, I thought that was ill. He told me 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.880 the story. I was like, get their hair braid in 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.080 the prison. No, no, I don't even want to know. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.720 I'm not trying to find out. I wouldn't get my 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.960 hair braiker. So I've been to killing nigga, talk about 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.560 break my hair and braid my hair. Gonna kill you. 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.320 But anyway, he told me the story, and I knew 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.880 the number he was talking about is real because I 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.400 watched certain hommies that I knew fight cases. And I'm like, damn, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.640 so it's millions upon millions upon millions of dollars. He 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.560 taught me some crazy ship like, I ain't trying to 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.680 throw a ship out there, but you know, he spent 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.280 some money. I knew he spent some real money because 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.200 they had to come to hin four. They knew we 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.440 had it, so they're gonna come to for it. You know. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.680 The turns that he had, he was four and the 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:55.000 home four. The people that got rested on Snowcake, the bodyguard, 0:16:55.520 --> 0:17:03.160 the bodyguard uh shon dog one of those for him. 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.119 I don't know if it was a little ce style 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:09.280 or its for him. Two of them eventually got their 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.800 case dismissed. My point was these attorneys was David Chesse 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.840 now David chess Off, that the guy that represented the 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.119 football player in Vegas right now, he was also the 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:23.440 guy that represented Dirk Uh, the guy you know, the 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.560 the old man that just got got uh convicted for 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.879 melissitting No women are killing, no killing. This his friend 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.720 um about you know, back in the day. I'm just 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:38.760 trying to tell you how the powerful of attorney John Ray, 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:44.359 powerful attorney from San Diego area, Johnny Cochran and David 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:49.280 Kenned also the fourth attorneys. Jesus, he had an O 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:54.359 J dream team exactly. This is who had it, you know, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.919 who he had on this case to represent him. And 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.200 my point to all of that has been this is mom. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.680 The mount of money that they put out, four attorneys 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.800 touring the amount, and that's why Snoop don't really complain. Yeah, 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.920 I did this separation and agreement that sold, and people 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.960 don't like when I use the word soul so Ill said. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.480 I signed as as an artist, I get it, signed 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:21.560 his rights to show him. Well, actually it was Priority Records, 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:26.200 to be honest, everybody, because because Priority, because because Mac 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.560 was gonna get him at first. I was trying to 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.840 make a move back and they ain't. Never we wasn't 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.679 gonna sell me the mack we turned down with Russell 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.600 Simmons came up there with more money. Not Russell Simmons, 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.760 Lee or Coin came up there with more money, rolled 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.679 up to the prison with me about three or four 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.240 times and try to get it. He offered eight million 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.560 dollars because he was in business with Columbia. Said they 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.240 told him thirteen million. But he came back and said, hey, 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.560 all I can get you is because Columbia don't want 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.199 to give up that much is eight million dollars. He 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:59.479 told him, No, he has signed the rights to Priority 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.680 for I'm percent over right in four and a half 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:06.720 million dollars and Gay Snoop Gay Snoop a million dollars 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.680 to sign the contract to leave death Row, saying that 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.720 that he don't owe anything. No, he had no more 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.720 claims than anything from death Row on any other money 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.399 that was generated from there was done three one, and 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.800 anyone was supposed to pay them, you know. And I'm 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.399 talking about that once we took the cat off from 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.199 Interscope and took it over to death Row. I mean 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:32.399 took it over to the Interscope was done out in 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.280 two thousand one. Yeah, so Snoop is not old any 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.920 money by ship night. But I don't think Snoop even 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.520 lies as well. I don't think he actually says that, 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.280 I don't say anything. Who's here that's gonna do? He 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.440 don't change and there they don't wear anything. I didn't 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.760 try to expose him on telling the lie of about 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.360 and now I'll try to help with it, telling um 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.040 about the story with Pop snoopton told so many different 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.960 versions on so many different things. Well, I don't know 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.520 what his agenda is, but he's trying to do a movie, 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.880 and he want to tell the movie his way. Suppose 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:08.960 you got you gotta tell your own narrative, right, you 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.680 gotta make your own story. You got lied about it though, hell, 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.159 everybody is gonna lie by it ain't. Nobody's gonna tell 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:18.359 the truth because you gotta get enough story without lying. No, no, 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.000 not wouldn't be one of my favorite artists. He got 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.919 enough enough. He's the greatest hip hop artist ever, no question. 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:29.640 But everybody wants to make their narrative better than it 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:35.080 is correct. But to me, like to be honest narrator. 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:37.800 When I talked to me like he ain't never seen 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.200 a check? How how would matter? How could mac ten 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:45.160 even think about getting a song saying, there, bro man, 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:46.680 we would have loved with that to happen. We would 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:48.280 have pulled that ship off the shells low as it 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:53.840 happened because number one, we was with priorities still and 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:55.879 number two, how he gonna do that? We weren't gonna 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.760 sign snoop rights to mac ten? So what made up 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:01.879 so so they should want to give it to p 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.639 How do anybody then? He didn't care, he was going 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.840 in to give it to Brian at priority. But question, 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.600 could I think his total deal was only like seven 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.639 million dollars and we know he was out there and 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.119 spending all that money on t BOS. So you know 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.199 he didn't have cold up man, my boys spending no 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.440 money on t BOS. Don't my boy all that? Y'all 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.320 know that was out there and hanging there. See, I 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.600 know the real people don't like to hear ready talking 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:35.479 ready though about everybody wife Kenya. I mean I know 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.640 everybody business because I was in this business back then, 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.760 So they can't. That's why they hit for me to talk. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.480 That's why it's easier to call me the police. That's 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:47.359 the police, but the police is running. Yet he was 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:52.120 around doing stuff back there from nineties six to two 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.840
