Speaker 1: who pushed the kulture forward, people who stood by the artists.
Speaker 1: How I remember being down with them. I never sold under
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand my first week.
Speaker 2: They may shure your autist.
Speaker 1: When they get behind them, they're now calling their selves
Speaker 1: servants and they richest have How do you get richer
Speaker 1: and get more humble at the same time is something
Speaker 1: that me and you.
Speaker 2: Have to learn because you're a greedy bastard, because I'm.
Speaker 1: A greedy a fact. Right now, we got two of
Speaker 1: my favorite CEOs, two people who helped made me a
Speaker 1: man when I was coming from boy to being a
Speaker 1: man and having money and not knowing what to do
Speaker 1: it to people who shape and mold me and told
Speaker 1: me go out there and bust your ass. And it's
Speaker 1: only right.
Speaker 4: We're in a conference room, executives.
Speaker 5: Let's make some noise for Leo calls Carol Lews.
Speaker 1: God, damn, goddamnit, Leo, you got you got one of
Speaker 1: the best hip hop stories I ever in my life.
Speaker 1: And my whole a luxurious nineteen years was. I remember
Speaker 1: when Jo Rule was getting like kind of played out
Speaker 1: and you didn't clear a record for Fat Joe and
Speaker 1: I did a jar RUVIDI right. And you know, most
Speaker 1: executives they want to meet with you and they say.
Speaker 2: You know, if you come along, But Leo said.
Speaker 1: Bring your whole crew. He said, bring your whole crew.
Speaker 1: And he gets this job Rule video and he comes
Speaker 1: to meet to be a Right Track studio and he
Speaker 1: has all my boys there. He puts the video in
Speaker 1: and he goes, how do you like this video? I say,
Speaker 1: you know I like myself. So I'm looking at myself.
Speaker 1: I'm like, he said, do you know what I think?
Speaker 1: I said no, he said, I think it's popcorn. At
Speaker 1: the time, I like popcorn. So I was like, popcorn
Speaker 1: is cool, and he goes, Jo rule won't exist in
Speaker 1: four months because of the records he's doing. Why would
Speaker 1: I invest in Nori for nor to be like Jorol?
Speaker 1: So he said to me, Nori, if I cut you
Speaker 1: right now, what would you bleed? And I said blood?
Speaker 1: And he said, now ask me the question, Nori. So
Speaker 1: I said, Lee off, I cut you right now, what
Speaker 1: would you bleed? He said, run dmc sucker And then
Speaker 1: he asked me the question again. He said, so, Nori,
Speaker 1: if I cut you right now, what would you bleed?
Speaker 1: I said, super Doug and he said exactly. The car
Speaker 1: service is downstairs.
Speaker 6: See my job.
Speaker 1: Old video made me go see for real. And if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for that exact move, I wouldn't have one
Speaker 1: of the biggest hits of my life, which is nothing homeboy,
Speaker 1: I came to party, Let's make some noise.
Speaker 2: Why do you keep it so real with your artists
Speaker 2: like that?
Speaker 1: Like you could have you could have you could have
Speaker 1: you could have like said it to me like nicer,
Speaker 1: but you didn't.
Speaker 6: So I want to do to you and to my artists,
Speaker 6: to my comrades, how I want to be done on
Speaker 6: that wasn't that was in English? Let's do that again?
Speaker 6: Can someone help me? What's it saying?
Speaker 4: You try to do onto others how you would want
Speaker 4: to be done to yourself?
Speaker 6: So I only want the truth. I'm so tired of
Speaker 6: the cryptic language. I was telling people upstairs, there's this
Speaker 6: guy that I love in the door and his name
Speaker 6: is Joaqum. And he used to say to me, it's
Speaker 6: all good. And I used to say, what the fuck
Speaker 6: does that mean? I want to shoot a DMX video tomorrow?
Speaker 6: He would say it's all good, and I'm I'm so
Speaker 6: exhausted trying to figure out what people mean. I just
Speaker 6: want people to tell me exactly how I'm doing.
Speaker 1: I just did a speech upstairs.
Speaker 6: I go to Kevin. I said one to ten. He
Speaker 6: said four. I said, I said, how do I get
Speaker 6: it to a ten next time? Okay, that's it. He
Speaker 6: didn't say it, Oh, it's a nine point five five.
Speaker 6: And you know what I'm saying, Because I just want
Speaker 6: to I want to improve, so you know, when you're
Speaker 6: on stage or when you're doing this, you want people
Speaker 6: around you that give you constructive criticism. You want to
Speaker 6: be the biggest, the best podcast in the world. That's
Speaker 6: so anyhow, That's basically the reason why I keep it
Speaker 6: so gully is that's how I want it done to me.
Speaker 6: The reason why I never walked around with security guards
Speaker 6: is real thorough people have Plan B, C, D, N E.
Speaker 6: You don't get in trouble with thorough people if you
Speaker 6: allow them the ability to go to their Plan B.
Speaker 6: If you retard their ability to go to Plan B,
Speaker 6: that's when you get in trouble. That's when you have
Speaker 6: to walk around with security guards. Okay, but you can't
Speaker 6: be mad at me when I tell you your records are
Speaker 6: stiff over no one cares or spinning it because then
Speaker 6: they could go to Plan B. But when you tell
Speaker 6: them a stiff record, oh it's working, I need a
Speaker 6: few more weeks, and it just gets deeper and deeper,
Speaker 6: and you get colder and colder. That's when you get
Speaker 6: in trouble. So I've always kept it very, very honest
Speaker 6: and direct because that's just how I wanted.
Speaker 7: That's it's a beautiful thing now, Kevin Laws keV, I
Speaker 7: remember me being on the label and you did something
Speaker 7: that was like so important. You You made us stay
Speaker 7: on the road like the Red Man's, the Method Man's,
Speaker 7: the Noriega's, the Camerons, the Jewel Santana, the freeways at
Speaker 7: that time, and like we wouldn't get like the other
Speaker 7: side named. We were like I want to say b list,
Speaker 7: but not b lists, you know what I'm saying. Let's
Speaker 7: not say be listen on the rise on the rise,
Speaker 7: And so we probably meted, never got the two million
Speaker 7: dollar bunchets, but.
Speaker 1: We would make that two million, but we would earn
Speaker 1: that two million, and it was almost like you felt better,
Speaker 1: like you know what going out there?
Speaker 2: Why was that your approach?
Speaker 1: Like the artist has to hit the road and touch
Speaker 1: them babies and and kiss kiss girlfriends and other people's girlfriends.
Speaker 8: And I think what was important for me man I
Speaker 8: being a former artist, being being out on the road.
Speaker 8: If you don't touch it, how you know what the
Speaker 8: baggy feels like, how you know what the smell like?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I wanted you guys to always touch your fans.
Speaker 2: We like baggies, nor.
Speaker 1: What's the new slogan? Fu the cake? We want the
Speaker 1: bands you.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't. We don't got the champagne yet, all right,
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: So it was just all about you guys, not not
Speaker 8: being distorted. You know, sometimes you have a hit record
Speaker 8: and you go by the big house and you sit
Speaker 8: up in the house with your friends and then you
Speaker 8: forget you know, really what made it, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean, and what it felt like to have that
Speaker 8: fan and even to this day is why the guys
Speaker 8: that you're name they can all go around the world
Speaker 8: and make a living to that day because you kept
Speaker 8: touching the fans, kept touching the bag, and that was
Speaker 8: part of it. And now it's a loss.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: Now you got labels, they'll say his. We're not worried
Speaker 8: about your tour, don't. We're not involved in that. That's
Speaker 8: your money.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 8: If you fuck up on that, you fucking our money
Speaker 8: up too. So we got to make sure three sixty
Speaker 8: three and six degree that you're always working. I never managed,
Speaker 8: nor never managed any of the guys, but I always
Speaker 8: managed you. When shit went down, I got the call.
Speaker 8: I don't get what was going down when it went down.
Speaker 8: I got that call, so it was always in the road.
Speaker 8: Was a good friend to us.
Speaker 2: Okay, So now how hard was it for you guys?
Speaker 1: Because at one point when I thought def Jam, I
Speaker 1: thought leol Kevin Russell?
Speaker 2: So how how how hard.
Speaker 1: Was it when it was like, you know, I know
Speaker 1: you went to Atlantic first before you started three hundred,
Speaker 1: But how hard was that decision to say I'm gonna
Speaker 1: leave the place that you basically built?
Speaker 6: So let's be clear that I sold the company to Universal,
Speaker 6: and I went to Island and Mercury and formed We
Speaker 6: founded Island Deaf Champ. So before Atlantic, there was five
Speaker 6: years you conveniently forgot. So listen, if you're not busy
Speaker 6: being born, you're busy dying. So that was beautiful. We
Speaker 6: make coffee table books. I flipped through the pages. I
Speaker 6: see friendly faces and moments in time that I adore
Speaker 6: and love. But I'm about the present. So you know
Speaker 6: that whatn'ce was, it was a beautiful memory. It's nice
Speaker 6: that people recognize me and give me that for my contribution.
Speaker 6: But I don't live I don't you come to my house.
Speaker 6: There's no f yi, this is who I once was. Okay,
Speaker 6: don't live off the past. No, So I'm only focused
Speaker 6: right here and right now. I want to continue, continue
Speaker 6: to contribute, be a great partner to Kevin and my artists.
Speaker 6: And until I can't contribute, I'm going to be on
Speaker 6: the court. And when I'm on the court and I
Speaker 6: go for that read, You're going to get tapped by
Speaker 6: my elbows. Okay, simple as that. You know, it's funny,
Speaker 6: how about you? It's funny.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: I came.
Speaker 8: I was from Baltimore, so me coming and as an intern,
Speaker 8: you get me coming up. We all thought of his
Speaker 8: intern Russell was a intention was mikey is.
Speaker 1: Are working at radio Shack, and then Russell Simmons hired
Speaker 1: them from Radio Shack.
Speaker 8: Tower Records, Tower Records, shout out the guy. You know
Speaker 8: the thing with me, all of us, you kind us open.
Speaker 8: We blent death can it's not even a thing. And
Speaker 8: selling the company didn't mean we didn't still love and
Speaker 8: live for the company. Building a new company. But now
Speaker 8: the deft and music didn't mean that we left hip
Speaker 8: hop our responsibility and always totally are I really only
Speaker 8: want to do this with him, you know what I
Speaker 8: mean at the end of the day. But we got
Speaker 8: to continue to build the pyramid so we can continue
Speaker 8: to get bigger and employ more people and keep the
Speaker 8: culture moving.
Speaker 1: So we never stopped. And I think right now what
Speaker 1: you're seeing.
Speaker 8: As a servants of young people who are living in
Speaker 8: today because they were native to the internet. Sometimes we
Speaker 8: get caught up in our memories or what we did,
Speaker 8: and it impedes our possibilities because anything is possible for
Speaker 8: anybody to be alive today and don't feel anything as possible.
Speaker 8: So when Lea said, Yo, we want to do it again.
Speaker 8: You want to do another record company?
Speaker 1: I said, hell, yeah, we could. Now thought it was
Speaker 1: crazy to do it. I said, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 8: So to me, if we're not reinventing ourselves every day,
Speaker 8: making ourselves better, putting more tools in our toolbox, I
Speaker 8: don't think we're gonna build bigger houses and better houses
Speaker 8: and more places for people that live and growing.
Speaker 6: So Kevin's always thinking about others. And I so appreciate that.
Speaker 6: I just gave a speech for one thousand people upstairs
Speaker 6: and I made reference to the Cold Crush Brothers.
Speaker 2: And nobody knew what else I was about to say.
Speaker 6: So bold a smack, a man with his gun kiss
Speaker 6: his woman. This his mother and don't even run now
Speaker 6: that's boor and I had to hold that. Come on,
Speaker 6: they're going to see me wrapping here to explain who
Speaker 6: the cold the panel with Charlie Chase too.
Speaker 2: One person.
Speaker 1: I remember this is this is one of the best
Speaker 1: days of my life, right, me and you was trying
Speaker 1: to do business since nineteen ninety eight when I was
Speaker 1: on penalty records and you realized that I was the
Speaker 1: only one moving on penalty records.
Speaker 2: I think he was trying to buy penalty at.
Speaker 1: First, and then he said, look it, I'm just getting nory,
Speaker 1: which is a smart move. So we was trying to
Speaker 1: do business for years. And then when I finally get
Speaker 1: to death Jam, I signed the papers and I believe
Speaker 1: you had crystal there. I believe you had some crystal there.
Speaker 1: And I smoked the blunt in the war room. It
Speaker 1: wasn't your office, it was the war room. I smoked
Speaker 1: the blunt. Then you took like two hits and then
Speaker 1: I asked you, leo, what's that picture right there? And
Speaker 1: it was you on the run DMC tour and your
Speaker 1: nose is bloody, and I said you.
Speaker 2: Had a fight. He said no.
Speaker 1: I sniffed cocaine all night.
Speaker 6: And listen, I just classic back in the disco fever,
Speaker 6: you got mad.
Speaker 2: Kids, we got with sixteen heard that, man, you've been.
Speaker 6: Fucking so sorry talking about the blow right, So back
Speaker 6: in the disco fever days.
Speaker 2: Let's get to me.
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody actually knows about the disco fever
Speaker 6: one sixty ninth in Jerome and Sweet Gee was the
Speaker 6: doorman and the host. We used to there was no
Speaker 6: one that didn't have one hundred dollars bill dancing. That's
Speaker 6: how we danced like that. So it wasn't because I
Speaker 6: was sniffing blow. We're all sniffing.
Speaker 1: I just thought that story was zeal because I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there expecting him to say no, I had to fight
Speaker 1: with my DMC's like, nah, we didn't tell you to
Speaker 1: bring it all, but we're glad.
Speaker 2: With ice.
Speaker 1: Please come on to win. You know he's your biggest fan.
Speaker 1: By the way, who are you? What are you doing here?
Speaker 1: That's what they all doing so and I remember you
Speaker 1: was the first person Leon to tell me I had
Speaker 1: radio skills, and I bring it back.
Speaker 2: I'm fresh a membering.
Speaker 1: It was a time at depth Jam where nobody was
Speaker 1: messing with Starr and Black, why nobody would go up.
Speaker 2: There, and he had he had this.
Speaker 1: Prodigy the week before, and when he had mentioned my name,
Speaker 1: I just was furious. So I did not buy to
Speaker 1: death gam rules. And I went up there and I
Speaker 1: handled Star like you know, I don't mean like handling,
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying like, I.
Speaker 2: Destroyed the interview. And Leo called me and said, you
Speaker 2: must come to the office now. And I said, Leo,
Speaker 2: I'm mad, tired. He's like, and I'm hungry.
Speaker 1: He goes say that again. He said you must come
Speaker 1: to the office now, and I said, I'm tired and
Speaker 1: I'm hungry.
Speaker 2: He said, First off, he said, you must eat the
Speaker 2: pink tea cup.
Speaker 1: He preferred me to pink tea cup, you said me,
Speaker 1: and Russell's to sniff coco like this sleep.
Speaker 2: I always remember your coach stories, my love, you called me.
Speaker 2: And then when I got can you imagine hold on ahead?
Speaker 6: Can you imagine that vegan eating yoga twisted?
Speaker 1: And Russell used to eat.
Speaker 6: Three meals a day at the pink tea cup.
Speaker 1: He issued, what.
Speaker 2: Poor pinknuckles?
Speaker 1: He said, and they had to eat the pic But
Speaker 1: you told me, you said, because it was something that
Speaker 1: squarked in that interview with you know, Star was the
Speaker 1: man in New York at the time, and he controlled
Speaker 1: the interview. But it was something that I did when
Speaker 1: I controlled, when I flipped it back on Star, and
Speaker 1: you was like, I believe you said, I want you
Speaker 1: to start the artist development Company. It was something like that.
Speaker 1: But this so that this what led to this is
Speaker 1: responsible for Drink's. But how like we got dayDay here,
Speaker 1: you guys are involving, evolving with these new artists. Now,
Speaker 1: how do you find these artists? Are they hot or
Speaker 1: do somebody bring them to you? Or so let me
Speaker 1: let me explain to you how day they work. Let's
Speaker 1: go day. They had a record.
Speaker 6: In a very specific and important club that was starting
Speaker 6: to work. And when our ain't our executive, very talented
Speaker 6: partner of our Selene brought us the record, he said,
Speaker 6: I just want you to listen to the patience of
Speaker 6: how this man raps. And there was something so beautifully
Speaker 6: patient about how he went on to some of those
Speaker 6: phrases and those words. It was obvious that he was
Speaker 6: very talented.
Speaker 2: And so I'm daddy, let me just tell you something
Speaker 2: about man.
Speaker 1: You with two order people who if you listen, you
Speaker 1: can be the most successful person ever. But what's going
Speaker 1: to happen is success is gonna fuck with you, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna tell you you ain't gotta listen because we
Speaker 1: all go through it. You got to listen. You gotta
Speaker 1: go crazy to know that you're you're not crazy. You

Speaker 2: That's what's up. That's what fourth fourth word? Okay?
Speaker 1: And now, so how did you get How did you
Speaker 1: get involved with three hundred?
Speaker 9: I had got involved with three hundred through Knitty Beats.
Speaker 9: You know, shout out Nitty, you know, but Nitty had
Speaker 9: a strong relationship with Kevin No, so shout out Kevin loud,
Speaker 9: you know. So you know, I guess they had a
Speaker 9: great relationship. And you know, by my talent heaven with
Speaker 9: Nitty Beats, I guess you know, they linked up with
Speaker 9: Kevin and you know how this situation happened. But I
Speaker 9: appreciate them, you know, and I appreciate the team for
Speaker 9: working hard.
Speaker 1: You know, we're here. They for hard to have you here.
Speaker 1: We don't even have new artists here, but Lee all
Speaker 1: put us foot down. And I can't say.
Speaker 2: I can't say.
Speaker 4: The record was popping in one particular club.
Speaker 1: What club was that?
Speaker 2: Shout out? Look, Coral Look.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's what's up. Very important, man, I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you. Man, let me take over off. Let me
Speaker 1: just explain something to you. First of all, I'm humbled
Speaker 1: to be here, oh man. I mean always mes arise.
Speaker 6: When someone actually wants to hear my words.
Speaker 2: It's I'm humbled.
Speaker 1: He imitates you. That's how much we want to hear
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't take it for granted, ignori.
Speaker 6: So bravo to you, and bravo to you, Bravo to
Speaker 6: your whole crew.
Speaker 2: Let's hear it. We also got large on the building.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I must say, you're busy being born and the
Speaker 6: fact that you are understanding the new digital era, that
Speaker 6: this is a powerful radio station and you don't need
Speaker 6: a signal exactly. You decided to get some fucking champagne
Speaker 6: and some liquor and get your man here and and
Speaker 6: and do a podcast. The amount of influence and power
Speaker 6: that you have by your voice, your interviews, and your
Speaker 6: perspective is just fabulous because you know what it is.
Speaker 1: Leo see, a lot of a lot of media has
Speaker 1: never been a part of the culture. So this is
Speaker 1: now people reporting the culture from inside the culture.
Speaker 2: It's like if Jordan's will pick myself to Jordan, but.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's okay, yeah, okay, maybe after Jordan plays
Speaker 1: the game. If Jordan is interviewing the artist, it's like,
Speaker 1: some people consider it cheating, but it's about time real
Speaker 1: niggas found a way to cheat. This makes.
Speaker 2: I know I chose well.
Speaker 1: Listen, if I had a nineteen career, a nineteen year career,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't being cool with everybody, like it all
Speaker 1: makes sense now, Like I always kept great relationships. I
Speaker 1: always like to tell people that, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like Kevin changed my heart, my life.
Speaker 2: Gracious Racis so it's gracious.
Speaker 1: You can come to us now. We know you did
Speaker 1: rap Radar. It's a mistake. Well there's a mistake. They
Speaker 1: was born and almost go to sleep there. They weren't
Speaker 1: got sorry about it, but make some noise for you
Speaker 1: being here. We got Kevin out and Lee on together.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry yelly. You know, I just got to take it.
Speaker 1: You know they number three, they number they did down there.
Speaker 1: You know they they mad that. You know, a guy
Speaker 1: who never went to college is running their job better.
Speaker 1: But who But listen, man, you guys have been I
Speaker 1: love this DMX story where DMX jaw was broke and
Speaker 1: you hate rhymes for you and you still knew he
Speaker 1: was a star.
Speaker 2: What is Joe Wyatt?
Speaker 1: If you got seat through a vision like you knew
Speaker 1: that every every rapper.
Speaker 6: So the real story was I drove up to Yonkers
Speaker 6: with IRV because he wanted us to hear him.
Speaker 2: By two thirty, he still.
Speaker 6: Wasn't there, and the rough Riders were trying to present
Speaker 6: every calm dick compared they had.
Speaker 1: They that beats a.
Speaker 2: Man spit sixteen, don't worry on his way. We got
Speaker 2: the Pizza man there.
Speaker 6: Finally X showed up, mouth wired shut, obviously in pain,
Speaker 6: and started rapping, and all the rappers the pizza man
Speaker 6: ran out the door and.
Speaker 1: They just got shook.
Speaker 6: And I like to say, if my mother was there
Speaker 6: with me, she would have said, that's the one.
Speaker 2: It's that obvious.
Speaker 6: The air changed when he walked in the room, even
Speaker 6: even with the jaw wire. It was special. It was
Speaker 6: special special. Oh, I got the hair on my back
Speaker 6: of my neck just stood up.
Speaker 1: And then was it your idea to say I'm gonna
Speaker 1: drop two albums this year? I think it was Kevin's idea.
Speaker 1: I'm not taking all the It was definitely as I did.
Speaker 8: And and I'll tell a story for him. DMX didn't
Speaker 8: put on an album. He changed culture. He did the
Speaker 8: first album changed culture. So part of being a good
Speaker 8: person is to ride the wave. And so and a
Speaker 8: lot of people X had one hundred records. X X
Speaker 8: felt rapping was his job. X L I wake up
Speaker 8: every day, I'm gonna do three or four songs, five
Speaker 8: or six songs.
Speaker 1: He took it. A lot of people X crazy.
Speaker 8: We know a guy, you know, but but his work
Speaker 8: ethic when it came to him doing music, he got
Speaker 8: he got a bibble, X got a bibble of good
Speaker 8: and bad, right or wrong. And so the world was
Speaker 8: ready for it. And Leo said, you know, let's do
Speaker 8: what that's that's throw them while we them and they
Speaker 8: they got us. They can't do what we do. And
Speaker 8: X came out. But then a lot of artists try
Speaker 8: to keep trying to kept trying to do it.
Speaker 1: Nobody, nobody was successful. But it I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you some real.
Speaker 6: You want the inside, I'm.
Speaker 1: Going to give you.
Speaker 6: I'm going to give you the inside. I was about
Speaker 6: to give up the game. I was about to retire.
Speaker 6: What No, Just before X I was about to retire,
Speaker 6: Puffy made everything technicolor and shiny, and bad boy was
Speaker 6: running shit on the shiny technicolor shit and def jam
Speaker 6: represents black and white and shades of gray. And I
Speaker 6: looked at my crew and I said, man, I don't
Speaker 6: think I can contribute anymore.
Speaker 2: And then I found X just.
Speaker 6: When Puffy made the Locks technicolor, and that's when I
Speaker 6: knew I had to pull out on him and start shooting.
Speaker 1: Okay, I carried in my breast pocket.
Speaker 2: A black and white photo of the album cover, a polaroid.
Speaker 1: It was X black and white. You remember that?
Speaker 6: And I said, this is the reason why I'm still
Speaker 6: gonna do this, because I was so infuriated of what
Speaker 6: they did to the Locks. Remember the Locks streaked motherfuckers, Yes,
Speaker 6: And they turned them into some high technicolor ship.
Speaker 2: And that was when we said enough is enough. And
Speaker 2: that's when X came on the scene.
Speaker 1: Because I remember even the video, the first video looked
Speaker 1: like nobody cared.
Speaker 2: It looked like Williams messed it up.
Speaker 10: We cared so bad.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying it was so authentic.
Speaker 1: It was like at that time, you know, videos was cousted,
Speaker 1: it was costed, and for them to have like the
Speaker 1: record was exploding but the video was black and white.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what.

Speaker 9: I want to.
Speaker 2: I want to say this.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that quote.

Speaker 9: told me that you remember that it was in the label.
Speaker 9: You know it was like all you got to do
Speaker 9: is listen. So I tell all my friends that from now,
Speaker 9: like all my friends that.
Speaker 2: Drinking at got my go.
Speaker 1: We ain't drinking right now.
Speaker 2: Because I learned this in France. You know what I
Speaker 2: got class? I got class rich people. Yeah, that's all
Speaker 2: that's like doing in France. I haven't been a friends,
Speaker 2: but I will be. I want to.
Speaker 6: I want to propose the toast, please. I want to
Speaker 6: propose the toast to Let's make sure that we get
Speaker 6: out and vote, because you want to know about sucking
Speaker 6: up the game. If we don't go out and vote,
Speaker 6: it's going to be problematic. Okay, we talked.
Speaker 4: About it last night with.
Speaker 8: Vote.
Speaker 2: What the fus up with you? So we've got Trump supporters?
Speaker 2: That means whatever?
Speaker 1: My listening because this is this is something that's very
Speaker 1: important to me because you know, you guys are obviously.
Speaker 2: Were I want to be.
Speaker 1: But how do you what you wish for? But how
Speaker 1: do you guys make you know, have a great career,
Speaker 1: make this money, but still have the same drive. Like
Speaker 1: I don't want to rap no more because I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it one hundred percent no more.
Speaker 2: So I've got to do other things.
Speaker 1: So I choose not to spit rhymes no more for
Speaker 1: now you So did you see me in five months? Withoutum?
Speaker 1: But you guys seem like like I did a call
Speaker 1: with Leo recently and I called him a mogul and
Speaker 1: Leo said, was cool. But I like to be called
Speaker 1: a servant like that thing that that struck our audience.
Speaker 2: Everybody kept hitting us.
Speaker 1: All wants to be called a servant, but something humble,
Speaker 1: humble servant, Like how do you guys be so successful,
Speaker 1: have these accolades, but still have the same drive.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 6: So I love what I do, so I have no interest.
Speaker 6: I remember when I sold deaf Champ, and I sold
Speaker 6: it for a big number. The next week, I was
Speaker 6: on the plane to a convention in Miami and the
Speaker 6: whole plane was full of people going to convention. And
Speaker 6: I walked down the hallway just stapping people up, saying
Speaker 6: what up, what up?
Speaker 2: What up?
Speaker 6: And they all looked at me and said, didn't you
Speaker 6: just get papered up? What are you coming to this
Speaker 6: convention for. Aren't you supposed to go to a beach somewhere?
Speaker 6: And I said, you know, when you think about a.
Speaker 1: Beach, it's just a hot, dusty, dirty place.
Speaker 6: You just want to know that you could go when
Speaker 6: you can go when you But I love doing this shit.
Speaker 6: It's the thought process that you could go to the beach.
Speaker 6: I don't sit in the sun in that dusty, dirty beach,
Speaker 6: but it's a nice imagination to have. What I love
Speaker 6: doing is waking up every morning working with my partner Kevin,
Speaker 6: working and finding new wonderful talent like day day. Just
Speaker 6: I just love being inspired by Raina, who who runs
Speaker 6: our marketing department there.
Speaker 2: So it just I guess it's a career versus a job.
Speaker 1: And so I like to continue with this doing this
Speaker 1: thing and YouTube can uh did diddo.
Speaker 8: But it gets like a little bit more serious to
Speaker 8: me because, like you gotta understand, I'm not raising rappers
Speaker 8: or singers or either men that have kids that have
Speaker 8: to be influential in their lives.
Speaker 1: And most of them don't have all this, and most
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 2: So you.
Speaker 8: Know, I don't called uncle dad all that kind of
Speaker 8: shit before, And so I look at it as with
Speaker 8: success comes more responsibility. So I wasn't raised by myself.
Speaker 8: So anything, anybody, if I get money with you, you're
Speaker 8: gonna have a different kind of respect for me when
Speaker 8: I tell you some grow man shit, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean. So to me, I think, really our responsibility
Speaker 8: is to give you guys a platform and an opportunity
Speaker 8: and support and conversation and just stewardship to be better people.
Speaker 1: You know, in life.
Speaker 8: So it's not how can I'm not a record exactly,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna said, I'm somebody who is a life changer.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: Really, if you get with us, we're gonna change your life.
Speaker 8: You're gonna be a better man. I can't say you're
Speaker 8: gonna tell a million records, but you definitely will be
Speaker 8: a better man.
Speaker 1: But I remember one point when lee All had left
Speaker 1: and went to Atlantic and you were still kind of
Speaker 1: like in depth jam and it was like the La
Speaker 1: Read thing. And I remember having a meeting with you
Speaker 1: and I was like, he was like, No, everything's gonna
Speaker 1: be all right, Everything's gonna be But I knew you
Speaker 1: was lying. You were like lying to me, but in
Speaker 1: a good way, Like look normal, we're going to get
Speaker 1: the funk about him not working with this guy. But
Speaker 1: I can't say that to you, like I know that
Speaker 1: was a weird period for you. Was it because La
Speaker 1: is a friend that wasn't there?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: It always was always.
Speaker 8: I got an award for Song of the Year in
Speaker 8: nineteen ninety six, week right, Yeah, I want to go there.
Speaker 1: You know it's true.
Speaker 2: I look at told us that the record.
Speaker 8: Now he wrote it, so not so that the thing
Speaker 8: was And again this was grown Kevin. I had the
Speaker 8: house when Leah left. I had the house. It's my house, right,
Speaker 8: but the landlord gave him the keys. Now, keV, it
Speaker 8: was always your house.
Speaker 11: Let's talk so so so, what I'm not gonna do
Speaker 11: is allow an industry to put me in a position,
Speaker 11: to put l A in a position where.
Speaker 8: The house would get destroyed and divided. I love death
Speaker 8: Jam too much. I love the people there too much.
Speaker 8: There was no way that I was gonna let oh,
Speaker 8: let's put them in a cage and see what, see
Speaker 8: what happens. I ain't doing that, Ain't that guy.
Speaker 1: I'm just want to point out, this is the most
Speaker 1: woman we ever had a drink camp that lets you know.
Speaker 2: The right thing.
Speaker 1: Sorry you shout out to women.
Speaker 2: I bring that and say that.
Speaker 8: So what I what I felt was and that's a
Speaker 8: la Listen. The best thing for us to do is
Speaker 8: to have one voice, one way, one mission, and I
Speaker 8: would like that for be yours.
Speaker 1: I can't do. I'm not gonna do that to something
Speaker 1: we love.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 8: A lot of people were like, you shouldn't have did that,
Speaker 8: you you know, bah blah this, and they wanted me
Speaker 8: to whatever, but I could. I couldn't talk to my man.
Speaker 8: My man was non compete, all that kind of shit
Speaker 8: going on with him. So to me, it was more
Speaker 8: so about what's best for death Jam, right, And I
Speaker 8: thought one way, one thought, you know what's best for
Speaker 8: death Jam. That's why left. I never know it will
Speaker 8: That's that's a falsehood. Near la even today we all
Speaker 8: one hundred you know all right?
Speaker 1: Now, how do you feel about death Jam? Now do
Speaker 1: you ever look at it and be like, oh, do
Speaker 1: you look at it and be like that's what the
Speaker 1: fuck they get? How about this? How you look at
Speaker 1: it and we leave it at that? I'll look at
Speaker 1: y'all like y'all death jam still like I'm caught in
Speaker 1: the time zone. Like when I think death Jam, I
Speaker 1: think you le'll Russell like, you know what, Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something one seventy varick And am.
Speaker 2: I saying this correct?
Speaker 1: One sixty varick save so many rappers lives.
Speaker 2: Let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 1: And this I have never I have never said this publicly,
Speaker 1: but one sixty Barbreck was a place where it was
Speaker 1: death Jam. It was when I first got to started
Speaker 1: going to depth Jam. But they had rushed associated labels
Speaker 1: in there. They had the violator, so you didn't have
Speaker 1: to actually be on depth Jam.
Speaker 2: But you can roll dice in the one sixty barrack.
Speaker 1: You didn't get your haircut in one sixty Varick, and
Speaker 1: you can also buy weed in one sixty Barrack.
Speaker 12: So artists didn't have to like yo, you think.
Speaker 1: About it when you first get signed, they get a check,
Speaker 1: but there's nothing that makes you that person that you
Speaker 1: just you just sold.
Speaker 2: To them that you are.
Speaker 1: So you're still streets. And that's why so many people
Speaker 1: get a check and then they catch a case because
Speaker 1: they catch a case cause they still in the streets.
Speaker 1: But that place right there gave artists a place to
Speaker 1: get the fuck out the hood, but still kind of
Speaker 1: beat hood because you go buy weed there. Let's make the.
Speaker 2: That record for the.
Speaker 8: Record in my next life as a politician. I don't
Speaker 8: know what he's talking about, but I wanted to want
Speaker 8: to say one of the Lyric's points were less create
Speaker 8: an environment that was about art.
Speaker 2: We always like that environment was done on purpose?
Speaker 1: Was it done on purpose?
Speaker 8: The outlay, how everything was, the you know, management records,
Speaker 8: everything was right here.
Speaker 1: It was It was crazy.
Speaker 8: I remember a time it was me Redman, Lebron, James Mellow, Uh, Scarface, Ludacrous.
Speaker 1: You never know. People came no matter where they were.
Speaker 10: They just came to hang out, to hang out.
Speaker 1: A video video that mad challenges. We'd ad a two
Speaker 1: or three in the morning.
Speaker 8: It was just a place where people and that that's
Speaker 8: just something Lyric has always wanted us to not felt
Speaker 8: like we was working, but it felt like we.
Speaker 1: Was communion, you know, being in the community.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Then when I went to the other building, it felt corporate,
Speaker 1: like it was we sold the company. It was also
Speaker 1: when one sixty fabric, that was when they were still
Speaker 1: all that makes sense. But you I just want you
Speaker 1: guys to know you saved a lot of rappers lives,
Speaker 1: maybe indirectly or not, or straight up directly because that
Speaker 1: was a.
Speaker 2: Hangout at one point. That was the place. Like I
Speaker 2: was on Violator, they would be like, yo, you know,
Speaker 2: just come one.
Speaker 1: Sixty Arrect and I'm talking about every artist Wu Tang
Speaker 1: would be up there. They was on loud, but they
Speaker 1: would still be up there, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And it was like and when I got older, I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, they created the hood that was in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: It was in the city. For us. That ship was
Speaker 1: the illis envinement. We need to make a documentary about that.
Speaker 1: We'll cut you in so three hundred I heard you guys,
Speaker 1: desks are in the middle of the whole. You guys like,
Speaker 1: that's front line ship. Why do you guys want to
Speaker 1: fuck it? Was?
Speaker 2: It motivation.
Speaker 3: Or know.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
Speaker 6: We never felt like outwardly facing things. We're representative of
Speaker 6: our influence, in our power, so we are very understated.
Speaker 6: Period are all the office you referred to was comfortable,
Speaker 6: but was understated. It was homie, So rock paper scissor.
Speaker 6: We go for the homie and not for the flashy.
Speaker 6: We want people to come in and recognize that work
Speaker 6: is getting done, not that we're putting our feet up
Speaker 6: on very expensive desk. We want all the money to
Speaker 6: stay on the screen. We don't want to waste money by,
Speaker 6: you know, trying to act important because we have flashier
Speaker 6: offices or bigger cars.
Speaker 1: It we're past that. We're in the rubber band stage. Okay,
Speaker 1: in the work in the street stage. I'm taking that.
Speaker 2: So now the young Doug.
Speaker 1: I want to speak about young Doug because at one
Speaker 1: point it kind of seemed like young Doug was actually
Speaker 1: on babies, cash money. Then he seemed like he was
Speaker 1: with Gucci Man, and then he seemed like and it
Speaker 1: was like when you stepped in, it kind of made him.
Speaker 1: It seemed like he's whole. Now it seemed like you
Speaker 1: was the right choice. Now was he originally signed at
Speaker 1: three hundred from the beginning.
Speaker 6: He was signed to Gucci, and Gucci signed his action
Speaker 6: to us, and we didn't feel that we needed to
Speaker 6: run around, and it wasn't critical to us that everybody
Speaker 6: knew and had to know. You know, you know, when
Speaker 6: I went to the Red Parrot.
Speaker 2: This is real, old school New York City.
Speaker 6: Continue, when Fat Cat came and he sat in that corner,
Speaker 6: he didn't.
Speaker 2: Just bring up he didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't. He didn't advertise that he was
Speaker 1: Fat Cat. But and it's more powerful who's the guy
Speaker 1: in the corner.
Speaker 6: So I like when people put their name, our name
Speaker 6: in their mouth because of the understated thing that we
Speaker 6: got going. You know, it's silly when I see people
Speaker 6: rolling with big security guys, big big, stupid security guys.
Speaker 6: The first ones to run, the first one.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's that little guy. It's that little guy you
Speaker 2: got to be worried about. Right, It's a little guy
Speaker 2: that you got to be worried about. You're gonna spill
Speaker 2: it now that you said that. Okay, all right, this
Speaker 2: is my friend Twin.
Speaker 1: He went to Vegas with eighty dollars and came back
Speaker 1: with twenty. He's the brocus Bridge boy, he got a
Speaker 1: good heart, he got a good hawk. My nigga Brokes
Speaker 1: richest guy.
Speaker 2: To say, famous and rich kid. Thank you very hard,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah they are they are.
Speaker 2: On Q see.
Speaker 1: So and now three hundred is it? Is it three
Speaker 1: sixty based company or people? Can you know, get down
Speaker 1: with three hundred and contract sixty. We believe in three sixty.
Speaker 2: We want to be partners, partners, not you know, and
Speaker 2: we don't want to open up the barbecue restaurant and
Speaker 2: then you start selling barbecue shots out the back.
Speaker 1: You want to be involved in every We want to
Speaker 1: be involved in everything, you know.
Speaker 4: But there is the negative connotation to the whole You.
Speaker 6: Don't care about that. We don't pay any attention to
Speaker 6: the connotation.
Speaker 4: Because we go to work, right.
Speaker 6: Show has a negative because people, yeah, no, no, it
Speaker 6: is a negative connotation because no one did it before us.
Speaker 6: So that's why it has a negative connotation. And and
Speaker 6: you know the reality is we want to be just partners.
Speaker 6: You know, if we're going to invest our capital, our
Speaker 6: sweat equity. If you ask me, I'm going to open
Speaker 6: up a restaurant and I need some capital, what do
Speaker 6: you think the capital usually represents fifty to fifty right ownership. Now,
Speaker 6: imagine if I wasn't just capital. You came to me
Speaker 6: and said, you know, I don't know anything about the
Speaker 6: restaurant business.
Speaker 2: You know about the restaurant business, but I got this
Speaker 2: great idea.
Speaker 6: So not only am I putting up capital, I'm putting
Speaker 6: a sweat capital too.
Speaker 1: Time is money, you know, So I just I want
Speaker 1: to be if you.
Speaker 6: If it's successful and everybody loves the barbecue, then we
Speaker 6: go together and say let's make some barbecue sucks and.
Speaker 8: We But we've been doing it foot interrupt you. We've
Speaker 8: been doing it forever with the right artists. They always
Speaker 8: wanted us to be.
Speaker 1: Because essentially it's like your management. It's not only like
Speaker 1: the game. Listen, yea. Even with young.
Speaker 8: Boy, I care who he's opening for, what time is
Speaker 8: he going on? That's not that most record people don't.
Speaker 8: By the way, most of them don't even show up,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So so the reality of
Speaker 8: it is the conversations we have in uh seed funder
Speaker 8: early conversations. But you have to want to be my
Speaker 8: partner right now. And the labels built to have different
Speaker 8: kinds of deals for different kinds of people, whether you
Speaker 8: want to be an entrepreneur, start your own label, whether
Speaker 8: you want to be a straight artist, or but we
Speaker 8: have to be involved in your life. Fuck rap, fucking singing.
Speaker 8: We have to be involved in your life when you
Speaker 8: wake up in the morning. We want to see that
Speaker 8: at your fucking table. We want to be on your
Speaker 8: board of the rats.
Speaker 1: Now that that involves movies that involved I don't give
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Do what what?
Speaker 8: What haven't we really done in any particular way. Business
Speaker 8: is business. But at the end of the day, if
Speaker 8: I'm going to invest in you and you're going to
Speaker 8: invest in me, then we will eat with each other.
Speaker 2: But l comes to you right now.
Speaker 1: It says Kevin Lows, I want to put out a record,
Speaker 1: and I only trust you and Leo. We talk about it.
Speaker 2: Will be it'll be an honor to put out his record,
Speaker 2: a fucking honor.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we talked about it too, North.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
Speaker 6: We live in the unique world of digital distribution. So
Speaker 6: I don't have to go so far on the limb
Speaker 6: to make a bunch of them and then spend a
Speaker 6: bunch of money to buy that real estate in the
Speaker 6: record store so we could get it on in a
Speaker 6: very inexpensive way that you could test the market in
Speaker 6: a innocent, honest, but effective way.
Speaker 1: I like this too. This is my favorite one so far.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, man, you know these are my my guys.
Speaker 2: A lot of CEOs they talked indirect to me.
Speaker 1: The reason why I appreciate our relationship with both of
Speaker 1: you guys is you even when I didn't like it,
Speaker 1: even when I didn't let First of all, this is
Speaker 1: one of the funniest stories. Was Fat Joe is trying
Speaker 1: to clear a job rule record, right. So Fat Joe
Speaker 1: calls me and goes, Yo, I'm going to bring the gangsters.
Speaker 2: People up there, and I'm going to see Leo Cans right.
Speaker 2: I'm like, don't do that.
Speaker 1: Fast, but Fat Joe's does it anyway, right, So he goes,
Speaker 1: I used to be Santa Claus for Russell Simmons ten
Speaker 1: years straight his kids.
Speaker 2: So he said.
Speaker 1: He goes to see Leo and he's like, le all,
Speaker 1: you gotta clear the record, and Leo said, no.
Speaker 2: You forgot one other part of it.
Speaker 6: I tell people, listen, in all due respect, the answer
Speaker 6: is no. And when you open the window up and
Speaker 6: fling me out the window and I'm just about to
Speaker 6: hit the concrete.
Speaker 1: The answer is still gonna be nom.
Speaker 6: So if it was gonna be different than I could
Speaker 6: understand you intimidating. But since it's not gonna be, you're
Speaker 6: gonna have to actually fling me out and find out,
Speaker 6: and then you're gonna end up in jail and fucked up.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a sad day all the way around.
Speaker 6: And so they know, unbelievable. It's not no to get
Speaker 6: a yes. It's a no because it's no. It's with
Speaker 6: respect no, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes you guys, hands down, that's what
Speaker 1: that's the longevity you guys are having is a direct
Speaker 1: effect through the realness that when artists, when you tell
Speaker 1: artists when they're younger, like so much things that you you,
Speaker 1: you guys both have taught me. Uh and I'll probably
Speaker 1: acted like I didn't listen back then, but I applied
Speaker 1: to my everyday life, like I don't apply math to
Speaker 1: my everyday life, but I applied things that you guys taught.
Speaker 1: Like the first time when me and Lee all tried
Speaker 1: to do business, he said to me, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Today, I said a pun video. He said, I'll be there.
Speaker 2: Hung up.
Speaker 1: Nigga never asked for no information. Nigga never asked what states,
Speaker 1: which city. He said, I'll be there, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what that futad? An hour later he pulled up and
Speaker 1: you pulled up with Ja Ru. It's the first time
Speaker 1: I ever met Javu, who's one of my best friends
Speaker 1: right now, and he pulled up with Java in the
Speaker 1: town call. That's my man. But why when you want something,
Speaker 1: you just you find no way in the way you
Speaker 1: get what the hell you want?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's pretty obvious ansor you know it's I think that.
Speaker 1: I'm a hard worker.
Speaker 6: I was raised right shout out to my parents in
Speaker 6: my family, and I don't want to ever embarrass them
Speaker 6: or embarrass my family.
Speaker 1: And let me put it to you this way.
Speaker 6: You're never going to go in the locker room and
Speaker 6: say what the fuck happened to you? You didn't show up.
Speaker 6: I'm the right person. If you have time, I'll tell
Speaker 6: you the real story. So you know how I'm funny,
Speaker 6: my accent is and you know how my name is spelled.
Speaker 6: So when I touched down in America and I was
Speaker 6: in a public school and after school program. They're choosing
Speaker 6: baseball teams, and motherfuckers chose me last because of my
Speaker 6: funny name and my funny accent. But I caught every
Speaker 6: fucking ball and I put everybody out the last time
Speaker 6: I was called last. So that's why, you know, I
Speaker 6: just have to work harder. I'm not that intelligent, I'm
Speaker 6: not that you know. I don't have an insane gift,
Speaker 6: but I'm ready to put it on people and work very,
Speaker 6: very hard on the movie.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I want to take it from the Run DMC days because, like,
Speaker 1: can you give us a run DMC story because you
Speaker 1: was a road manager, right, I'm proud. I'm proud.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 6: The thing that I use every single day more than
Speaker 6: anything was my road manager, my road experience, like Kevin
Speaker 6: was referring to the road. My road experience separates me
Speaker 6: from all those other people I compete with every day.
Speaker 6: So we have so many stories, from going up to
Speaker 6: Detroit and witnessing the young boys to Long Beach when
Speaker 6: all shit broke out and we're on the nightly news,
Speaker 6: the live aid and performing in front of that historic show.
Speaker 6: So many many beautiful stories. But I guess the biggest
Speaker 6: and most important story that tells you the fabric of
Speaker 6: who I am and the fabric of what we represent.
Speaker 6: And remember we represent the blue collar, the hard working.
Speaker 6: Is when we were selling two Joe Louis's back to back,
Speaker 6: two gardens, back to back, the spectrum, back to back.
Speaker 6: Our clique on the road was five Joey, d Jay, Runnie,
Speaker 6: Ray and Leor. We didn't have an entourage, big security guides.
Speaker 6: We carried our own luggage and before the curtain dropped
Speaker 6: and the music was finished, we're in the car on
Speaker 6: the way to the next city. So you know, all
Speaker 6: when I look at all these new rappers with their
Speaker 6: you know, fifty people entourage and these big security guards
Speaker 6: that all you have to say is boo and this
Speaker 6: start running running. It's it's like clowns security. And so
Speaker 6: that's the greatest story is we never missed a gig
Speaker 6: in three and a half years.
Speaker 1: Told me, okay, one gig one night.
Speaker 6: We did five shows in three different cities, three different states,
Speaker 6: five shows in three different states. We were mobile, we
Speaker 6: stayed out of trouble and we were onto the next city.
Speaker 1: And that's you know, you know, we were and grateful.
Speaker 2: Remember Fish spot. We used to eat that La pesca.
Speaker 1: Do absolutely absolutely that fish soup man. Fish.
Speaker 6: Watch Nori's face when I first shorted the fish shop.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: I'm looking like that. And then I gave spoon. I
Speaker 2: gave him a spoon and then boy.
Speaker 1: I was turned out from the fish soup spot. Every meeting,
Speaker 1: every meeting we had was around lunch.
Speaker 6: Why is noy he always booking.
Speaker 1: Pesca do no?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: This is this is one time right. I thought I
Speaker 1: was the man because this is when Leo walks into
Speaker 1: the door, they say fish man like this. It was
Speaker 1: like some big ship. So I started going there a lot.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to take Leo out one day and
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, and I took care of the bill.
Speaker 1: Lee all like your hold on whore you.
Speaker 2: Who you gave him?
Speaker 1: The bill called the ball. Yo. When the person's the man,
Speaker 1: you gotta let them be the man. You can't try
Speaker 1: to creep up with me. I learned their life lesson
Speaker 1: that day. Leo was pissed, not at me, He's mad
Speaker 1: at them, like this is my spot. I don't care
Speaker 1: how much he comes here. Remember I'm the guy who
Speaker 1: brunk man show that respect.
Speaker 6: This is real, Sonori, I'm gonna I'm going to say
Speaker 6: something before I leave.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for Kevin and Day they are going
Speaker 1: to stay. Don't to keep it going.
Speaker 6: So here's my thing. So what's the year twenty sixteen? Yes,
Speaker 6: I believe, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I only think about records. I
Speaker 2: know this is you know.
Speaker 6: You know I'm pre sucker MC So that's how I
Speaker 6: think about time. Is that eighty two eighty three?
Speaker 1: You know? So I don't know if you've read.
Speaker 6: The recent report of the Youth of the rib A
Speaker 6: where for the first time in eighteen years, the business
Speaker 6: has has grown. I'm telling you, and I'm telling everybody
Speaker 6: that listens, if you're an entrepreneur and you want to
Speaker 6: get into a great business, not a good business, and
Speaker 6: get papered up, get into the music business, the record business.
Speaker 6: For the last two decades, the business has been shrinking
Speaker 6: and consolidating. So there are no deaf JEMs, no islands,
Speaker 6: no motowns, no A and M's, no.
Speaker 1: Chrysalis's boutiques, boutiques.
Speaker 2: This is a time for you to cobble together a
Speaker 2: little capital because it's not expensive and find stunning talent
Speaker 2: and putting them out in the marketplace.
Speaker 1: This is the moment in time.
Speaker 6: I've never seen a more fertile business environment as it
Speaker 6: is today. So your listeners, I know they love the
Speaker 6: nostalgia and the fun that you guys have, but all serious,
Speaker 6: all jokes aside.
Speaker 2: I do want to leave.
Speaker 6: You and your viewership with the absolute clarity that what
Speaker 6: better business that you can go tonight and record someone
Speaker 6: ship it the next day all around the world at
Speaker 6: zero costs, no manufacturing costs, no shipping costs, no obsolescence,
Speaker 6: no inventory, no everything digital and inexpensive and very efficient.
Speaker 6: Remember we used to make videos that cost us money
Speaker 6: to promote our songs. Now there's a YouTube that you
Speaker 6: put the video Now, this.
Speaker 1: Makes noise for abe you can get. You just put
Speaker 1: a video up and get paid for it.
Speaker 6: So I'm just saying, man, I'm tired of the highly
Speaker 6: concentrated industry.
Speaker 2: Now is the time. You may be too late if
Speaker 2: you keep waiting to get this paper.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of paper.
Speaker 6: Out here, and this is a great business, and I
Speaker 6: want you and your consumers to recognize how great of
Speaker 6: a business this cops.
Speaker 1: You enjoy streaming you think streaming.
Speaker 6: Streaming is such a friendly and wonderful consumer proposition. All
Speaker 6: the world's music for ten dollars a month. And it's
Speaker 6: the first iteration. My daughter doesn't want to hear classical
Speaker 6: music or African music.
Speaker 2: She likes the pop hits.
Speaker 6: Maybe as we iterate that business, her bill would be
Speaker 6: three bucks a month and she only gets the top hits.
Speaker 6: So it's just the infancy. You know that streaming is
Speaker 6: only a two three percent penetration, so just imagine when
Speaker 6: it's fifty percent penetration. So don't have just Kevin and
Speaker 6: I be the only paper up motherfuckers out here. Okay,
Speaker 6: we don't want to be by ourselves. We want other
Speaker 6: people to hang out with. We want other people to
Speaker 6: seize the opportunity of this environment and start creating new
Speaker 6: special companies that you know are culturally significant and healthy
Speaker 6: for artists and and creators.
Speaker 2: So thank you, beautiful, thank.
Speaker 6: You, Thank you guys that you're in good hands with
Speaker 6: Kevin KAMV.

Speaker 8: And then when in two thousand and nine when I said, Yo,
Speaker 8: the business is about to change and y'all y'all making decisions.
Speaker 1: There's a chairman.
Speaker 8: I'm saying, yo, the decisions that we're making, I don't
Speaker 8: know if I could continue the same way, you know
Speaker 8: what I mean? And I said, so I had to
Speaker 8: go hug some trees, had to go to hug some
Speaker 8: trees walk on the dirty saying, and I said, I'm out.
Speaker 8: People know I left in two thousand and nine. I said, yeah,
Speaker 8: you know what, I'm good. But then you know, the
Speaker 8: whole trade thing happened. And you know he was his
Speaker 8: manager was one of my interns.
Speaker 2: Talk about songs.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And he said, y'all, I gotta fire my
Speaker 1: manager said, man, why are you gonna fire him? You
Speaker 1: should really work it out.
Speaker 8: And so he said, y'all, I need you to uh
Speaker 8: do a marrier.
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: And you like that groundwork more like management?
Speaker 1: Do you do?
Speaker 2: You enjoy it?
Speaker 8: You gotta understand, Nord. I enjoyed being beside talent. I
Speaker 8: enjoyed being signed brothers. When should go down, you know,
Speaker 8: go down. I'm just enjoyed being around and next to people,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So to me, I don't
Speaker 8: know how to I really was where I got lost.
Speaker 8: I'm sitting in our rey tower. All I had to
Speaker 8: do was go around the country and fix problems. But
Speaker 8: I tell you we should sign this artist named Chris Brown,
Speaker 8: and you say he's not going to be I can't do.
Speaker 1: I don't know what tell you.
Speaker 2: I remember because.
Speaker 8: I said, no name, but my girl manager them. I said,
Speaker 8: you wish you to sign him, you don't want to sign him?
Speaker 8: Then I tell you, yo, Rick shout to Rick. Rick
Speaker 8: is one of those y'all you don't want to continue with.
Speaker 8: You know, I was at that moment and you want
Speaker 8: me to stand next to the motherfucker's putting their feet.
Speaker 1: Over the head and I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that ship. I don't do.
Speaker 8: So my thing was I wanted to be with Arton
Speaker 8: and so when I left, it was like.
Speaker 1: I had to find myself.
Speaker 8: And really, at the end of the day, I can't
Speaker 8: go anywhere because even to this day, I still talk
Speaker 8: to Todd, I still talk the whole I still talk
Speaker 8: to X, I still talk to Jack, I still talk
Speaker 8: to your silly ass.
Speaker 2: That's why.
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, that's so I don't
Speaker 8: know how to get out of it, because it's in me.
Speaker 8: You're give us someth I'm a I'm a former artist,
Speaker 8: a DJ. When I was president of def JAM, I
Speaker 8: had twelve hundreds in my office. Everybody noticed that we
Speaker 8: we used to fuck Maryland and hang out and look
Speaker 8: and I'm miss blessed Pop, I'm miss blessed.
Speaker 1: Gotta be Twin. I can't even be mad. You find
Speaker 1: out it's Twin, You're like, he got eight dollars in
Speaker 1: his pocket.
Speaker 2: He fucked up good You got twenty, but he he
Speaker 2: got good. Heart. We get my tip.
Speaker 1: Kevin Lowsman, I really appreciate you coming hanging out with
Speaker 1: us because you guys are so important to the culture.
Speaker 1: I love what you guys are doing at three hundred
Speaker 1: because I just I just love the fact that you
Speaker 1: guys can make all this money, have all the success,
Speaker 1: and then still want to be the people that help
Speaker 1: the artists push forward. And that's that because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it could have been like it's
Speaker 1: just all about us, fuck y'all. But it's like you
Speaker 1: guys is like, like, I know these artists don't know
Speaker 1: who you are, and that's what would it like. For instance,
Speaker 1: like if Mellie Man will put me on a care
Speaker 1: restaurant put me on, it's like, all right, cool, you know.
Speaker 2: Exactly who he is. Whatever.
Speaker 1: But Kev's history is so rich Leo, history is so rich,
Speaker 1: and they don't really bring it up. It's not like
Speaker 1: they go to the artist and be like, you know,
Speaker 1: I made such and such and such.
Speaker 2: They don't really live on the past like they said.
Speaker 1: So I know that's why I gave that love of
Speaker 1: to day day because I'm like, yo, listen if you listen,
Speaker 1: because it's going to come a time Like I just
Speaker 1: keeping it real.
Speaker 2: I don't give for who you are, nobody.
Speaker 1: There's not a book that says you got zero account
Speaker 1: in your account today and then tomorrow you got four
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand, and how to act after that
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty thousand clears, like you know, when
Speaker 1: it's pending, you're looking like, oh shit, like is it coming?
Speaker 2: But when it fucking really clears, you like I got
Speaker 2: four hundred and I could really do some shit.
Speaker 1: And then you start you stop listening to them because
Speaker 1: you think you did it on your own. I mean
Speaker 1: that's artist syndrome one on what you know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: h and it's crazy because it might happen to you too,
Speaker 1: or three many times it happened to me three times
Speaker 1: up you know, put up Tommy Boy then Depth Jam,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And Depth Jam was like
Speaker 1: playing for the Yankees at that time, Like it was
Speaker 1: truly like playing for the Yankees. It was like, like
Speaker 1: I said, like I never went on tour that many times,
Speaker 1: Like Kevin Lowles came to me and was like, look, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: we we here, but we need to be here and
Speaker 1: you might not see your family for the next two months.
Speaker 2: You can fly him out though, fly them out, but
Speaker 2: that that does that still exist in hip hop.
Speaker 8: I'm glad you Every year we put out a new
Speaker 8: artist tour. We put out Young Hustle Tour last year.
Speaker 8: Now we're dropping the Birth of a New Nation tour
Speaker 8: with Shot Lizzie Day Day and P and b Rock
Speaker 8: goes out in November, A P and b Rock. We're
Speaker 8: always gonna invest in the street because what I hope
Speaker 8: to find in the city is the next Nor, the
Speaker 8: next P and b Rock, the next Shock, Lizzie, the
Speaker 8: next day they and we go to every city. I
Speaker 8: don't just invite fans, I invite hustlers, invite the artists.
Speaker 8: I'm like, whoever making noise in the town, come out
Speaker 8: and hang out with us. But you're gonna look at
Speaker 8: my ship and you wanna tell me how i' gonna
Speaker 8: break my ship in your marketplace and we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Get money together. And that to me, you can't you
Speaker 1: get no better than.
Speaker 8: That because again, like day, they still growing, so he
Speaker 8: don't really know how to engage like Norrid, like I
Speaker 8: want Noorid to fuck with them all.
Speaker 1: I want him to.
Speaker 2: I want to win your artist development partner.
Speaker 10: You know you don't.
Speaker 14: I ask somebody for nothing eighty four. But I'm saying like,
Speaker 14: like to me, I want I want people.
Speaker 8: The reason we do this tour because I want young
Speaker 8: artists to know that we believe that through touching your fans,
Speaker 8: you become.
Speaker 1: Art, not just a record, right, And that's that's the difference.
Speaker 1: We're not. We're not pop music like that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. We got to get on our street.
Speaker 1: We have to be in the street because I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel like that too, because I feel like
Speaker 1: I lot of times these artists don't have training, like
Speaker 1: they don't have they don't have somebody like me, Like
Speaker 1: like I remember seeing young Dog go to Serious Satellite
Speaker 1: and I was I remember seeing like him saying, y'
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the record and then Lee all going
Speaker 1: to Sway and going to his air and I.

Speaker 1: Global spind Awards award show dedicated to the DJs. We
Speaker 1: got the War show dedicated to foulship, but the dedicated
Speaker 1: to speak about that Global Spin Awards.
Speaker 13: We recognized the unrecognized with all the dj is the
Speaker 13: most influenced. You guys in the game, you know who
Speaker 13: who who never really got this shot, who never would
Speaker 13: put up on that platform.
Speaker 10: So the Global Spin Awards is.
Speaker 13: The Grammys for the DJs, and we did the nominations yesterday,
Speaker 13: real big, so all the DJs around the country right
Speaker 13: now celebrating social media is going crazy. My man, kiss
Speaker 13: you was there last year when y'all came in and
Speaker 13: we had Swiss Beats hosts last year and gave them
Speaker 13: I think it was fifty million records sold, so everybody
Speaker 13: from Rough Riders came.
Speaker 10: So, I mean, it's a love fest.
Speaker 13: But it's recognizing to me the most important influences in
Speaker 13: the game, which are the DJs.
Speaker 1: I'm ready for my order. Yeah, yeah, you need to
Speaker 1: get you need to get a great bed of water, so.
Speaker 2: Something.
Speaker 1: But y'all knew each other a long time, so impressed.
Speaker 1: You're a very instrumental person in this industry. And you
Speaker 1: know that's what a podcast, that's what we're trying to
Speaker 1: do here, is we want to keep our legends alive.
Speaker 2: Our music. So much the.
Speaker 1: Minute somebody does something or somebody you know, they find
Speaker 1: out this, we just kill our own legends. That is
Speaker 1: so bad in our culture. So what we want to
Speaker 1: do the purpose of our podcast to keep our legends alive,
Speaker 1: especially especially the people that's behind the scenes, because yeah,
Speaker 1: we're the fourth front as artists. But you know what,
Speaker 1: an artist ain't shipped without five people behind him, and
Speaker 1: sometimes people don't recognize those five people behind.
Speaker 2: Him and those positions.
Speaker 1: So that's why we interviewed Leon and Kevin Lyles earlier
Speaker 1: because a lot of people, you know, they just think
Speaker 1: that they're just the check writers when they're a lot.
Speaker 2: More to it. And the same thing with you.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, we appreciate you people like that.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We appreciate and we want to look at Jada kids
Speaker 1: trying to slide.
Speaker 2: We've seen you, nigga.
Speaker 1: Now you got you got a nice assistant.
Speaker 2: Listen, you ain't from youngkins at all. Let's keep it real.
Speaker 1: From bankman like a motherfucker, right, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: got good assistance. Yo, ain't gonna lie Leo Kohn's and
Speaker 1: Kevin Lows bruing the most females.
Speaker 8: Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that not accurate?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I mean they bought the most money.
Speaker 2: To make sense, How did how did you get started
Speaker 2: with bad Boy?
Speaker 10: In turn? In turn? I did it.
Speaker 13: I did it the way it should be done. You
Speaker 13: started at the bottom, that's what you. Yeah, like like
Speaker 13: anything that's handed to you, you don't you don't appreciate it.
Speaker 13: And when Bad Boy in the early days and kiss,
Speaker 13: I mean it's nineteenth Street.
Speaker 10: The office was the size of this room right here,
Speaker 10: like everybody was working there, you know, big shot off.
Speaker 10: If y'all don't mind to to some of the day
Speaker 10: one June Balloon.
Speaker 1: Sharing the butcher are single marriage.
Speaker 10: There you go, super Marrio where you at?
Speaker 13: Man Like those are the guys who brought me in
Speaker 13: and gave me my platform. Then you know, moving forward,
Speaker 13: we had guys like Malcolm MIBs, all these dudes who
Speaker 13: really put work in the game to get Bad Boy.
Speaker 1: To to to where your day.
Speaker 2: There you go, Cacorn, she was in the beginning.
Speaker 13: No barrowe Barrow JB around here somewhere. That's who y'all
Speaker 13: should snatch up. But you are too smooth because you
Speaker 13: know Jason Jay Jeff is extra smooth. Hold on, no,
Speaker 13: that was Jeff Burrows.
Speaker 1: Walking b a meth. Don't walk in the building. God damn,
Speaker 1: we did Jzu yesterday too.
Speaker 3: There was.
Speaker 1: Nay yesterday.
Speaker 4: We gotta shout out the street team cats out there
Speaker 4: too that we wrapped four Oh.
Speaker 13: Yeah, like I mean, and you know I come from
Speaker 13: the Street Team days. I come from from handing out flyers.
Speaker 1: Waving saying that is is that possible for the Street
Speaker 1: Team to exist again? Because the online market, there's a
Speaker 1: way to know it's it's definitely.
Speaker 2: A lane for it.
Speaker 17: But the labels, the artists got to formulate their own
Speaker 17: Street Team. They want you to just go there, go
Speaker 17: in the conference room, sitting in front of the screen,
Speaker 17: and that's the new Street Team.
Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, that's the new ship like.
Speaker 10: But but it's nothing like the real.
Speaker 1: On the ground.
Speaker 10: And that's what the Street Team was like. Put it
Speaker 10: this way, it'd be albums.
Speaker 18: Coming out now I don't even know they just they
Speaker 18: just here. Back in the days, you drive down this
Speaker 18: you knew ready you was getting on the train.
Speaker 2: We was hitting you.
Speaker 10: You know, you driving down the West Side highways.
Speaker 2: Postal balls up. It's crazy.
Speaker 4: And when you had the team in each market, you
Speaker 4: you had the post of that market.
Speaker 1: And that's what it was.
Speaker 10: That's what it was.
Speaker 13: I could I could call you, E I could call
Speaker 13: at any given moment, you know what's going on in
Speaker 13: Miami or I need I need to know who.
Speaker 2: Do you think the Internet killed the Street Team?
Speaker 10: No, I think what made it.
Speaker 19: It made made the money. It was giving out different breads.
Speaker 19: But the n O R E and the kissing game
Speaker 19: of all them budgets. These new niggas that never know
Speaker 19: that nig the budget.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at these niggas budget right now taking
Speaker 1: a hit, they dead it.
Speaker 17: If I can just send an artist to the office
Speaker 17: and do it internet blast, that's way cheaper than there.
Speaker 17: You go a group of dudes that go in the
Speaker 17: van or go up the East coast, hit the whole highway,
Speaker 17: hit the subway, hit shampoo out there.
Speaker 1: He's still doing it.
Speaker 2: Is like the last Man.
Speaker 1: He's about that in a minute. He's my nigga.
Speaker 13: I see, I'm gonna tell you all your artists up
Speaker 13: and coming, get your boys together, because I'm you know,
Speaker 13: I'm a firm believer in grassroots. I'm a firm believer
Speaker 13: in touching the people. I'm a firm believer in the DJs.
Speaker 13: Get out there, put your hustle in. I noticed social
Speaker 13: media everybody working on a million but go ahead, go
Speaker 13: hands on, you got to do.
Speaker 1: We did the poster boards and remember.

Speaker 1: guy who wants to play vinyl. He's a pyiod. He's
Speaker 1: a hip hop purist.
Speaker 2: That's what.
Speaker 1: That's what.
