Yeah, I was literally that kid, you know. 206 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: And and and I made it in a few times, 207 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, saying I got it, I got it. I 208 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: made it in a bunch. So I ended up at 209 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: ken Am at Death Row in the nineties because of 210 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: all that hustle, and I ended up doing but but 211 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: you know, going back to that that the police record, 212 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: you know, and and you know, I forget what state 213 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: it was. It was like, if you guys go on 214 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: and seeing this record, we're gonna shut the whole show down. 215 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: And well that was the for the whole tour. We 216 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: had to sign in the beginning of the two to 217 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: be able to do the tour and get the insurance 218 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: for the building. We had to say we weren't gonna 219 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: play the song, and we never played the song until 220 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: we got to Detroit. Why the rebellious in the d 221 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I remember being on stage. Dre 222 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: is on the turntables at this time. Cuba was in front, 223 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: and he looked at him. They played the song. I 224 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: looked at Dre like, wow, really he didn't even get 225 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: lyrics in before the police start coming throwing fire crackers, 226 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, to make the crowd crate, and ran us 227 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: off the stage. So, as you look at the movies, 228 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: did you have a lot to say about that, because 229 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: as you just described that, that was very what I've 230 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: seen in the movie. But up until the stage age, 231 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: after the stage they didn't catch us. We just I 232 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: ran back to the hotel. Everybody, you ran all the 233 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: way to the hotel wasn't that far. Ran through the 234 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: park a lot and we got to the hotel. We 235 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: grabbed our bags. We're about to go to the tour 236 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: bus you know, go over to Canada to get away 237 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: from there. And they wasn't elevator. With their little badges, 238 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: they caught us. I was like, oh, they got us. 239 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: So that's the difference from the movie that. Yeah, they 240 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: didn't arrest us because they gave us a hundred fifty 241 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: dollar citation in autographs. They wanted hold on, they want 242 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: to but on the ticket, but they really real are 243 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: graphs shut. They were some fans that covered. Man, we 244 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: got to give you the can you please sign this? 245 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: They just was trying to make a point or something. 246 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: But that's the We never performed that song ever and 247 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: ever and ever. Detroit was the only time. You've got 248 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: to have ye and that. But if I'm not mistaken, 249 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: I've seen Q performed that song. Well that we've done 250 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: that together at Coachella and stuff. But in the prime, 251 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: we never played that song. With a matter of fact, 252 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: we never played no songs from the new album because 253 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: the group broke up at number one. When we went 254 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: to number one, on Billboard. We ship gold, which was 255 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: unheard of back then for hip hop. Yeah, we ship gold, 256 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: and the group was broke up. You look back at 257 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: that and just go, oh my god, look at this 258 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: bullshit that we went through. We could have been you 259 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: know what I mean, guys were the Beatles of hip hop, 260 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: for God's sakes, you know. So I looked at it 261 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, some cube had to leave 262 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: in order to get big. Then the group had to 263 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: break up in order for trade to go get big. 264 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: It wouldn't have happened in the group. It was just 265 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: for some reason. It wouldn't happen. Like they say the 266 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: old cliche, everything happens for a reason, right, you know what, 267 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back and take a break real quick. 268 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: It's DJ Yella here of course from the legendary hip 269 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: hop group and w A here on Cannabis Talk one 270 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: on one. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one 271 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: with Blue Joe, Grande, Mark and Craig Washing and the 272 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: pop brothers in law and Yella from the world famous 273 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: n w A. Now, Yell, I got a question. I mean, 274 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: when the breakup came right and and it was a 275 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: ugly breakup. I mean it was probably again one of 276 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the most uh you know, recognizable group breakups in the world. 277 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: And and it was very vocal. You know, a lot 278 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: of these groups will break up and they just go 279 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: their own way and one of them just kind of 280 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: does their thing, and this one was a fucking feud 281 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: where it was just you know, everybody was aiming at 282 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: each other's throats verbally. And Jerry's getting bast I mean, 283 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody was getting back what for the for 284 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: the work he did. Because you think about this, he's 285 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: a manager. He's getting of the group. Okay, we can 286 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: live with that, but you also getting of the label. 287 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: That's the problem so different, that's the issue. That was 288 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: the big thing right there? Then Hunt, Yeah, what did 289 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: you think when Cube came out with no Vassaline? If 290 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: you're not mistaken? When I looked at the movie, did 291 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: the movie? Have you go? Oh? That was hard? I 292 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: told him the night before we shot that not to him, 293 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: he said, what happened? I wasn't there. I said, you 294 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: got us, that's that's all of us. I'm getting confused 295 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: in life. It's just what you said. Because in the 296 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: movie though that he said the same thing right. That's 297 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: I told him the night before they filmed that shot. 298 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: I told him this is what was said, you got us. 299 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't though. That was just for the movie. And 300 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: in the movie you said something like that to too 301 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: uh Easy, You're like, he got us, he got I mean, 302 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: he he just got us because he dedicated a whole 303 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: song to us. We never dedicated a whole song. We 304 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: just took pop shot and you got Admit, even when 305 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: I think of Cube still to this day, that song 306 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: is like, you know what I mean, It's one of 307 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: those iconic, legendary fucking like what was your reasoning behind 308 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: stand with Easy versus going with Cube or any you know? 309 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: You know what's funny? Dre asked me one morning, I'm gone, 310 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, eight thirty morning. I'm like, we don't get 311 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: up at eight thirty. I'm like, hold on.

I didn't give 315 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: him an answer to two thousand nineteen, so I didn't answer. 316 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Like a few years back, yeah, me and him, we 317 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: was at his house. We finally talked about it, but 318 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: at that time, I was young, naive.

I'm like leaving, going 320 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: where until I found out a couple of days later 321 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: he told me. But the thing was, I didn't give 322 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: an answer, So that just put me, even though I 323 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: had no problem with either one. But I should have 324 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: went with Dre. But I just didn't give an answer. 325 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: So I got caught. And how was that conversation in 326 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. Some tears, It was some tears. It 327 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: was just he didn't know. He said, I thought you. 328 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: I said no. I just never answered. I didn't didn't 329 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: know what was going on, Like I'm out, I was naive. 330 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: I hadn't had no idea. So did you find did 331 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: you finally smoke a joint over it? Na he might 332 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: have had some something drinking on something, you know, Um, 333 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: you know with with that though, I mean, you know, 334 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: thinking back right, I mean you know Easy had many 335 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: hits after that. Dre went off and made many hits. 336 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: Cbe went off and made it many hits. You you 337 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: kept producing and and putting out hits. Where does the 338 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: FEU lie? Now? Like? Is it over? Is everybody you 339 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: know feel like we're one? Hundred or is there. Well, 340 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: you gotta think about this. Back then, even when Q left, 341 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: the group was not mad at each other. It's not 342 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: the group, it's the circle around the group. It was 343 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: the Jerry. It was yeah, I ain't emosa. They are there, 344 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: but it's the circle. Well, it was management and this 345 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: and that. From what I gather and watching in my 346 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: knowledge of the whole history as I watched it firsthand, 347 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: to being in radio and this and that and seeing 348 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: cats and talking to people, it feels like management is 349 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: what sucked everything up. I mean not just management, that's 350 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: one part, but it's still other people talking to other 351 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: people to get the group was never mad, not cue, 352 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: not when nobody was never mad at each other. It 353 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: wasn't that it was just Jerry doing his thing or 354 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: whatever and they didn't like it. But it's still with 355 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: other people filling their heads with whatever they feel their 356 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: heads with. That's what broke the group up. You couldn't 357 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: think about it. Number one bid. We had the top, 358 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 1: not the bottle exactly. That's what I'm saying, Sid. It's 359 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: like breaking up a team. That's one you came and 360 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: and now as as Blue goes there and thinks about 361 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: that was there a lot of controversy because like when 362 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: we see all the different types of movies and the documentaries, 363 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: it feels like that separation went right because you got 364 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Lynch Mob over here now walking around stomping and you know, uh, 365 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: and it felt like, as you say, nobody had a problem. 366 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: It felt like what's up? I mean, but think about it, 367 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: the Lynch Mob wasn't cute. We wouldn't, you know, like 368 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: everybody Hollywood, you know, But was that in the real 369 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: wood though? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, I mean we didn't 370 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: never run into him or nothing like that, but we 371 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: wentn't out looking for him, right. The only thing we 372 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: was worried about is people saying, well, what are y'all 373 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: gonna do? Now? You know what, Your one third of 374 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: the voice is gone. So that's where Dre had to 375 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: come in and feel that one third. Remember on the 376 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: first album, Dre only rapped one time and a piece 377 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: of a verse. That's it. He used to wrapping the 378 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: Wrecking Crew, but not on the first strato counter. That 379 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: is so funny when you keep bringing up the world 380 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: Class Record Crew because and I hate it. You see 381 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: me smiling grit and makes you smile when I SMI because, 382 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: like you say, I mean, I just think about that. 383 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: It's just so left field of what n w A is. 384 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: But how it started and what you guys represented, which 385 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: was music. And then to think about the other music 386 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: that Drey was producing and you were producing that, people 387 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: are like, oh my god, you guys can dabble into 388 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: that too, Like motherfucker's we engineers. This is what we do. 389 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: We learned. I mean, nowadays it's easy, just get on 390 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: the computer, you can do everything. We had to learn 391 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: the hard way everything. We had to learn how to 392 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: play drum machines. We didn't play keyboard. I was the 393 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: only musician because I played drums. But you know, we 394 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: had the program. There's this that I mean. We didn't 395 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: play guitar and stuff. We just hire somebody. And then 396 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: splicing with the tapes with the spice and cats may 397 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: not even know what splicing is. Let me educate those 398 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: out there. I got into the game right when splicing 399 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: was damn near coming out. But I had to splice moan. 400 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: And here's a funny story. I made my own commerce. 401 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: My first commercial. I made I get the reel, the 402 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: guy goes, my guy who's training me go ahead, load 403 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: it up. So I loaded up and I just started. 404 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: I started doing my real right and I loaded up. 405 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: I do it, and then the guy goes okay. And 406 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: bottom line is that he didn't tell me and he 407 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: made me learn the hard way. After I fucking recorded 408 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: the commercial. You gotta load the reel, put it on 409 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: the next reel first, and then use that reel to 410 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: start the thing off. So I didn't know this, So 411 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: I do a whole commercial. Now play it back. Oh 412 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: you can't because it's not on the other reel. You 413 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: gotta put it on the other fucking thing to do it. 414 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: And then you gotta splice it with a you're using 415 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: a pin with like not an ink marker, a little 416 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: white marker and dog, it's just time. We used to 417 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: make remixes editing, so you know you had to cut 418 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: them all out. You're cutting up, like cutting up on 419 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: top of and a little cut out and you just 420 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: cut something back. We could take a beat, put it 421 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: on the side, tape it. Then if it don't fit, 422 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: we put it right back. Just tape it right back together. Right. Yeah, 423 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you when when when? Um, you 424 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: know this whole this whole industry is going come on, 425 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: we already we already talked about this guy hands up. 426 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: So while we while we uh, you know, we think 427 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: about you know the history of hip hop and or 428 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: wrap and and and how you know, the influence on 429 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: so many people that you guys have created, you know, 430 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, and I never thought of it until to 431 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: the point where it's like, you know, there's been a 432 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: lot of you know, gangster ship that's happened to artists. 433 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: But one of the things that I never recognized. I 434 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: know that they never hurt each other. They always they 435 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: hurt each other, believe you know what I'm saying. But 436 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: it was never like yo, like you you you've seen 437 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: you you know, see somebody on the spot and Bob, 438 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't like that, but but it seemed 439 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: like that, and I think the streets felt that way. 440 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: But but in that scenario it wasn't. But later on, 441 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: as you looked at the big ease in the pox, 442 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: I mean, it was, well, see that's when it started 443 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: the real guys start getting in. Yes, that's a big difference. 444 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: The real gangsters ain't the studio gangsters. And right, you know, right, 445 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: that's totally different business. Yeah, that's when the ships came involved. 446 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: And even then he wasn't there, but he was tied 447 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: with the Looters Park and all those boys. But that's 448 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: a whole different story. But you know, I I look 449 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: at that and I just go, god, dude, at that time, 450 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: it felt so real that there was just a huge 451 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: war going on, and I'm like, damn, but none of 452 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: them actually heard each Yeah. You know what I'm saying, 453 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: which is it's funny that you say that, because I 454 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: never even looked at that way, because if you think 455 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: about it, and if I think, I bet w oh 456 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: did they have this? Did they have that? Wow? No, 457 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't like, dude that It wasn't like 458 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: they all didn't know whereas his mama's lip. It wasn't 459 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: like they all didn't know where at each other. Was 460 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: Was I need to be knocking your teeth out? Yeah? 461 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: It was all that. You'll get pistol whipped in a minute. Yeah, 462 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: and we're looking at my right. Yeah, I'm saying that's 463 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: what it felt like. How much legal trouble did you 464 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: guys get into on these roads out there? None our tour, 465 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: we had none. We got more legal issues from sampling. 466 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: We was the poster child for sampling for some reason. 467 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: They came to us. So that money was there, that 468 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: money and black, let's just face it. And then we 469 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: were the poster child for cussing on the record. That's 470 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: why we got the stamp parental discreption. We were the 471 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: first ones. Yeah, you guys actually were the ones that that. 472 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: That's when they came out the parental We kind of. 473 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: Uncle Luke made a real stamp about it too. He 474 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: came out Uncle Luke came a little harder to go.

Then why was in the movies everything 562 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: is so rough, But the portrayal of everything that imaging 563 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: is not that. Yeah, I mean, it's just the look, 564 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: the hats, the glasses. He's just in this voice, his sound. 565 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't the greatest rapper because he wasn't a rapper, 566 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: but it was his sound that's what started Ruthless and him. 567 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: By being in the streets, he held his ground. I 568 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: want my own label I want to read I want ruthless, 569 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: and he held it and he got it. Would you 570 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: say more Cube or Dre helped him produce that sound 571 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: and deliver the lyrics the way he did him. Um, 572 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: well it's Cubes. The song was Cube's lyrics, so it's 573 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: his style. But then when the DLC came around, it 574 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: changed more of the flow and he could say the 575 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: raps better too. By the time Dot came. Oh yeah, 576 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: Doctor is excellent riter. Yeah, he he was one of 577 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: the better writers. Who who would you say is the 578 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: best writer of the all the group? Um, that's a 579 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: hard Rand wrote a lot of these parts Ran, DLC. 580 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: They kind of all together, all three, right, so what 581 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: what what about? What about QB? You don't think he 582 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: was one of the nicest writers of the group. He 583 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: was a great writer. That was just in the earlier 584 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: stuff to see when the Doc came.

I watched the movie. Then when the 901 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: credits was going, they cut the lights on and had chairs. 902 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,959 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is different, right, that would 903 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: be dope to be at the movie and see you 904 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: come out and speak.

Nice in China, 906 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 1: I came out and they did not know. Did you 907 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: hear that? Man? You know, I think back and I think, 908 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's got to be so many beautiful memories 909 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: and and and even you know, memories of things that 910 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: we could have done better. It could have done worse, 911 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,359 Speaker 1: you know. And like I said that when I when 912 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 1: I look at it, and from a young man's perspective, 913 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,839 Speaker 1: I thought, man, these guys are gonna kill each other. 914 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 1: Whose side do you be on? And ship? Because you 915 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: know you're you're so connected to the whole thing. And 916 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: then you know, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, 917 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: you here. Goddamn, I'm glad y'all set it off. Used 918 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,919 Speaker 1: to be hard. Now you just wait off about this group. 919 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 1: I loved all of them together. What happened it was, 920 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: like I said, and it was just it was just 921 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,399 Speaker 1: like it was a thought like, oh man, it kind 922 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 1: of just pulled everything apart. And then you watch everybody 923 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: and you know, now they have had these legacies and 924 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: legend and you guys are legends. Man, I mean you know, 925 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: like I said, without you guys, I wouldn't have learned 926 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: a lot of things I learned from that music, you know. 927 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: And it was our lifestyle, what was happening in our community. 928 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: That's all we wrapped about. Yeah, it was really what 929 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: was going on. And unless you live that, you couldn't 930 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,480 Speaker 1: feel it, so kill it, right. But I mean, at 931 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: the same time, if you were involved in that that error, 932 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, it was just so humbling to watch it 933 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: all go away and then be like, Okay, I'm over 934 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: here and I want to be over here though I 935 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: like what they're doing. And it was a confusing time. 936 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 1: And then now come back full circle again. No one 937 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: got hurt, no one, you know, none of the primaries. 938 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there was some collateral damage. I'm sure you 939 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,240 Speaker 1: know what I mean, but but the primaries were always 940 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: well protected and it didn't go there and and until 941 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 1: later on with the you know, the other artists and 942 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: like that, and I just feel like, you know, it 943 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 1: was probably bad management, you know what I mean. And 944 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: and I I could chalk it up to that because 945 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: not that I was there to know any of the 946 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: inner workings, but I mean the management was I would say, right, 947 00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 1: just maybe thirty. But the other is the outsiders. Yeah, 948 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 1: the groups. This guy's doing that, the gossips that always 949 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: the outsiders. You should get this, you should whatever they 950 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 1: say it right, that's what did it. It wasn't us, right, 951 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: it was everybody around you in your ear? You know 952 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 1: how it feels like? Is that way to enjoyl right? 953 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,239 Speaker 1: Like your ladies friends are the ones up putting all 954 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: this ship in her head? Yeah, saying ladies friends are 955 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: putting the ship in his head. It's the same concept. 956 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: What's asked? Man? What do you got? What do you 957 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 1: got bubble into your mind? Plans? What? What do you got? Going? 958 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: On the books?

I didn't write the book for me or money. 985 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: God told me to write the book a year and 986 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 1: a half. It took me to write it over the 987 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: whole pandemic, and I finished. And it's all to tell you, 988 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: to tell people how bad I was, how much of 989 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 1: a center and all this and how he saved me 990 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: and I can't go forward even me. Do you feel better? 991 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, way better? Like that's just like here it is, 992 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 1: isn't it better too? I love exposing myself like that too, 993 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: Like when I met my my, uh my wife's dad 994 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: and asked him for his hand in marriage. Why I 995 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be different than this and your other three marriages. 996 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,360 Speaker 1: And first off, it was only one other marriage. I 997 00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: got a baby mill and all this. But let me 998 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: expose all my to you so you can see me 999 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 1: for who I am and then see me and judge 1000 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: me for what I tell you. And I exposed all 1001 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,840 Speaker 1: my dirt to him, And I think that's a relief 1002 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,400 Speaker 1: sometimes just for a lot of cats that just like 1003 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 1: they're living crazy. I mean, you know people that's doing 1004 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: so much craziness. God even wants you, you know, Oh yeah, 1005 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,800 Speaker 1: He don't discriminate.

Like me, I was a d percent 1008 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,880 Speaker 1: that making movies, music, whatever, it was women that was 1009 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 1: my thing. It wasn't drug, it was women, but I 1010 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: was a So that's what God wants somebody that's a 1011 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, there was a there's a movie that 1012 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,240 Speaker 1: I've seen and it was it was it was about 1013 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, God and and how he had two boys 1014 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: and one boy, one girl, and one of them was 1015 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 1: you know, involved in a horror, horrific murder and the 1016 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: other one was like living, all happy, but she was 1017 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,320 Speaker 1: all messed up because she was supposed to be watching 1018 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,279 Speaker 1: the little brother. And then but then you know, he 1019 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: met the father, got murdered and he met you know, 1020 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 1: the maker, and he was like, you know, how could 1021 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,799 Speaker 1: you do this to me? And he's like, they're all 1022 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 1: my kids?
