Speaker 1: in those fifty years, I would say probably one of
Speaker 1: the most pivotal things that happen in rap music was
Speaker 1: gangster rap a reality rap. We said, we can start
Speaker 1: calling the reality rap, right. You know, brothers talking about
Speaker 1: tales from the streets, what's going on in their neighborhood.
Speaker 1: One of the forefathers of that on the West coast,
Speaker 1: you know as many You know, you got Ice Tea
Speaker 1: that came before him. You had the brother school, he
Speaker 1: d the did the good. He put his version of
Speaker 1: what it was. But to me, it really didn't gain
Speaker 1: no bunch of significance until it hit the West coast, right,
Speaker 1: and you was one of one of the pioneering labels
Speaker 1: Man Ruthless records. Right, how you linking? How the hell
Speaker 1: you link up with easy? And he was reasonally on
Speaker 1: the right on the California right. How did you link
Speaker 1: up with Easy?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 3: Through my cousin cot one seven above the log go
Speaker 3: mac Recci Peace Laylag the late Great KMG Total Cash.
Speaker 3: It was back in early eighty nine, just when their
Speaker 3: record was about to come out, you know, living like Hustlers,
Speaker 3: And you know, I did a three songs demo put
Speaker 3: on the California and first signed a production deal with
Speaker 3: Larry Goodman and Laylaw and you know that landing me
Speaker 3: a deal through Easy Easy heard me when Hutch you know,
Speaker 3: and Laylong shot the kite to him and take long
Speaker 3: for me to sign because you know, Easy love controversy.
Speaker 3: So he tripped off the name cocaine, but he was like, damn,
Speaker 3: it's like when a person is on cocaine, you don't
Speaker 3: know how you gonna your mind state gonna be because
Speaker 3: you do so many different styles.
Speaker 5: I'm fucking with you. So and it take long for
Speaker 5: me to get signed to Ruthless Records.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure, man, I know Easy Man
Speaker 1: to me, he don't get enough credit for what he
Speaker 1: did in the game and what his legacy is, right
Speaker 1: because he pretty much brought street music like to the forefront.
Speaker 1: You know when you heard them records like eight Ball,
Speaker 1: Boys in the Hood and all these different records again
Speaker 1: you a glimpse of California. What funny it was like,
Speaker 1: I came out to California in nineteen eighty eight, so
Speaker 1: that's when dope Man that started hitting across the country
Speaker 1: kind of like and I remember I heard that song
Speaker 1: and I was like, damn, man, I wondered like it
Speaker 1: made me wonder about the city of Conflin. I was
Speaker 1: a nigga, you know, riding on the street with one
Speaker 1: of my homeboys in Cleveland that song came to the race.
Speaker 1: He looked at me and said, Man, you sure you
Speaker 1: want to go out there with them comft niggas and
Speaker 1: them crips.
Speaker 2: So I asked what I was supposed to be over?
Speaker 6: You was supposed to went down where else you had
Speaker 6: the scholarship to go?
Speaker 1: Man, I could have went to Coffeeville, Kansas. I came
Speaker 1: to the West.
Speaker 6: Coast, go to Coffeeville.
Speaker 1: I wasn't having it, man, I wouldn't have it. I
Speaker 1: wasn't going nowhere to know Coffeeville. Man, I knew this
Speaker 1: is where I needed to be.
Speaker 4: What made you want to come to California? I never
Speaker 4: asked you that all these years. I know you, man,
Speaker 4: you know what's crazy outside of football?
Speaker 1: Man. I think I said this a few episodes ago,
Speaker 1: looking at ice T's album because I actually told Darlene
Speaker 1: that shut off to Darlene or Teaz. I met her
Speaker 1: up here and I said, you and iced Ty the
Speaker 1: reason I wanted to come to California.
Speaker 4: So you saw a fucking album covering that made you
Speaker 4: want to come here.
Speaker 1: That was actually that actually led to my decision, man,
Speaker 1: of going to Coffeeville or coming out here to Los Angeles, because.
Speaker 4: I know you had to compare it like Los Angeles
Speaker 4: Coffee Vielle that. Man, it wasn't even no comparison, because
Speaker 4: I know football in the Midwest is big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was. But I'm not thinking about football. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about what I'm gonna be doing. He yeah, he
Speaker 1: wasn't get all this crip. I said, I'm thinking about.
Speaker 4: What roder the hood they got out there in California.
Speaker 1: You know all of you know what do they call
Speaker 1: extra recular activities?
Speaker 4: You, Darlene boy, for all least you know what.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted, man, I said, I want to.
Speaker 5: Bra like that.
Speaker 1: I want a chain like that, man, And I said,
Speaker 1: I wanted to sack my boy. Fine, be supplied the sack,
Speaker 1: I said, I want to say. I was listening to
Speaker 1: that music, and it sounded like it made it funes sound.
Speaker 4: Being a D boy was la D boy was crack
Speaker 4: already in Cleveland when you left.
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, this started already infiltrating everything. So I'd
Speaker 1: actually start dibbling and dabbling a little bit when I
Speaker 1: was back at the crib. Was the most you've had
Speaker 1: fifty man shooting Ohio fifty man out here. I was
Speaker 1: fucking with zones and ship.
Speaker 4: You know when Ohio fifty fifty fifty piece in Ohio
Speaker 4: had to be little. Yeah, it was a little probably
Speaker 4: is like a dime out here.
Speaker 1: Cut like a motherfucker. It's called that ship blow up, motherfuckers.
Speaker 1: Shit you hit that ship, that shit get the blowing
Speaker 1: up and popping this ship.
Speaker 4: Man, heah, niggas out this everybody on this side of
Speaker 4: the cow just like biggas also that every nigga up
Speaker 4: here soul blow up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nigga, that ship would blow up in your face.
Speaker 1: That that ship would blow up in your face.
Speaker 5: They came.
Speaker 6: I remember when you first came out, because you know, uh,
Speaker 6: I think ruthless at the time. Your deal was, uh,
Speaker 6: and if I'm not mistaken, went through epic Yeah, and
Speaker 6: uh they had controversy with your name because I remember
Speaker 6: they had promo cards with us on them and they
Speaker 6: had you as who am I?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was Al Masaku and Kenny kempso at
Speaker 3: that time, because you know, Worries Morefield was cool.
Speaker 5: But you know, Eric had landed a big deal and he.
Speaker 3: Was considered our West Coastrussell Simmons because it was like
Speaker 3: the biggest deal at that time, with an epic distribution
Speaker 3: he had above the low Cocaine and poor Broken Lonely, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying, and Broken Lonely.
Speaker 5: That was an R and B group, Chris the Glove
Speaker 5: who did a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: Chris signed to Chris one of myselves. Chris was R
Speaker 4: and B singer.
Speaker 5: Oh man, he's an incredible producer. I don't know if
Speaker 5: he was, I don't think.
Speaker 3: But once they signed, once they signed on, we was
Speaker 3: going everywhere.
Speaker 5: The Abbey Road back in the days.
Speaker 3: This was prior England before that, you know out here
Speaker 3: Abbey Road distributors, the distributors, Violet Brown.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2: Get this. It was right.
Speaker 6: It was right over it in wats a little bit
Speaker 6: like like off of Alameda.
Speaker 1: Because actually Abbey Road was where we would go buy
Speaker 1: the records at the count of Abbey Road.
Speaker 5: Brown Brown used to take us around there.
Speaker 6: Still me a gang cassettes going. Don't going through Abbey Road, man.
Speaker 5: You know, oh hell yeah, goddamn.
Speaker 6: They that that was like the biggest West Coast distributor
Speaker 6: as far as a lot of products. So we would
Speaker 6: do a lot of fucking uh. We would do a
Speaker 6: lot of promotional ship at Abbey Road signings and shipped
Speaker 6: for the retailers and all.
Speaker 1: That's what I did E. P. M. D up there
Speaker 1: as a retailer. You know, we would go get you know,
Speaker 1: we had the pictures in our stories back in the
Speaker 1: day when people signing them. We would get those that
Speaker 1: a lot of the the wholesale spots on Abbey Road,
Speaker 1: West Coast record distributors on all those other spots you
Speaker 1: go pick up your retail front and one one.
Speaker 3: That was a one stopping plus back that was back
Speaker 3: in the days. You know, we used to go to
Speaker 3: record Pool's foot recipes. Scott was a big significant part
Speaker 3: of this game. But you know, once they you know,
Speaker 3: it was like about three months before my record was
Speaker 3: gonna come out, and they decided to change it because
Speaker 3: the FCC laws wouldn't permit them to say cocaine, right,
Speaker 3: even though we changed it now saying when you listen
Speaker 3: to cocaine, it's like it's a it's a mind trip.
Speaker 3: You're like, you don't know what this niggas gonna do,
Speaker 3: but it's gonna be funky.
Speaker 5: They wasn't having that. They were stuck in tradition.
Speaker 3: So last name. They changed my name. I had to
Speaker 3: cut out there called Nikkel slick Nigga. A lot of
Speaker 3: niggas was on that shit in nineteen ninety one. I
Speaker 3: finished the record in eighty nine. I had to wait,
Speaker 3: well Bob the Law to put out Living Like Hustlers,
Speaker 3: which was one of the most prolific albums you know,
Speaker 3: on on the project on the West Coast at that time.
Speaker 3: And they changed my name. They said who am I?
Speaker 3: So when a lot of niggas was going to the stores,
Speaker 3: that was like, well.
Speaker 5: Who the fuck is this?
Speaker 3: We look at people, Yeah, but that was that was
Speaker 3: That was a blessing. I'm gonna tell you why, something
Speaker 3: about getting doors shut in your face. And there wasn't
Speaker 3: no secret to controversy. There was like Chuck d NWA
Speaker 3: and NW at that time. There was like a modern
Speaker 3: day bomb squad, you see what I'm saying. And they
Speaker 3: was like, well, fuck Epic Records if you're gonna change
Speaker 3: the name cocaine.
Speaker 5: You know, the easy e.
Speaker 3: The whole fellas over there was very adamant about it
Speaker 3: because they were behind cocaine and they wanted Cocaine to
Speaker 3: come out just as.
Speaker 5: Big as n W had, Brother Law and everybody else
Speaker 5: on there.
Speaker 3: But they closed the door and a lot of people
Speaker 3: don't know. You know where I come from. You know,
Speaker 3: music is embedded in my twenty three chromosomes because of
Speaker 3: my father, Jerverybuddy long Senor you know, who was a ranger,
Speaker 3: composer and writer. Plus my uncle was Willie Hutch So
Speaker 3: it's like, I don't care what y'all decided to do.
Speaker 3: This is my creativity. We ain't gonna compromise it. And
Speaker 3: Eric felt the same way. And Eric was pissed off
Speaker 3: at that time, and that was one of the moves
Speaker 3: he made from Epic Records and saying bye bye going
Speaker 3: over to Alan Grumblatt and Relativity Records. You know what
Speaker 3: I mean, because because Ka whom I was out in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one, but it didn't have a critic ald
Speaker 3: claim just because you know, Epic Records was scared at
Speaker 3: that time. I mean, if you can't really fault them FCC's.
Speaker 3: He was like, see this nigga come along, nained cocaine.
Speaker 3: They think a nigga just like Escobar or something. But
Speaker 3: it was all about the punk. But they didn't have
Speaker 3: They wasn't hearing that shitty.
Speaker 2: They didn't know what the fuck. But doing that's all.
Speaker 3: It was beautiful because you know, me and the fellas
Speaker 3: got together at Audio Achievements at that time where we
Speaker 3: was recording shout out to Donovan rest in Peace, Donovan
Speaker 3: Dirt Biker. So it was like, man, well shit, man,
Speaker 3: we're about to shoot this do this Niggas for Life album,
Speaker 3: Well we want you on it.
Speaker 5: We're about to do Black Mafia like we want you
Speaker 5: on it.
Speaker 3: And that was the chance for me to get on
Speaker 3: Niggas for Life, introducing the character called sweet Talk.
Speaker 5: Well all right, y'all across the.
Speaker 3: Usc Compton March they do I know, just as well
Speaker 3: as easy saying, man, you'll call mop fucker with your pen.
Speaker 3: I want you to write my part for Appetite a Destruction,
Speaker 3: which I wrote his ten Gangster commandments for that, and
Speaker 3: I was like boom because that was my first platinum
Speaker 3: record in ninety one platinum, and prior to that, I
Speaker 3: had experience and chance to in nineteen eighty nine go
Speaker 3: over to Brixton London. So here I am a young
Speaker 3: coca over there and Brixton London.
Speaker 1: Like bricks is cracking.
Speaker 5: This shit is crazy. But yeah, but you know, those
Speaker 5: doors being.
Speaker 3: Shut on me is a is a significant reason why
Speaker 3: I'm the most featured recording artists in the world because
Speaker 3: you know, at that time and you know kids and
Speaker 3: you know, things was political. But I've always kept working
Speaker 3: in nine times out of ten when I go to
Speaker 3: the studio, whatever style I'm doing, I'm blessed enough that
Speaker 3: the other artists would be like, hey man, this this
Speaker 3: ship is cracked. Put the ship on there. So that
Speaker 3: really that that first door being shut in my face
Speaker 3: by not by me not being played on the radio.
Speaker 3: I think it's a significant fact that I work my
Speaker 3: ass off and twenty three, you know, thirty four years later,
Speaker 3: I'm over four thousand and one hundred and twenty eight features.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I heard a thousands of the motherfucker, So I got
Speaker 4: about a thousands at the DOE thousand.
Speaker 3: So it's it's unheard of, and a lot of people
Speaker 3: look at me and I'm like, nah, that's some bullshit.
Speaker 3: But people know what's happening because I can show you
Speaker 3: better than I can tell you. And I ain't never
Speaker 3: think about being the most featured artist.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: I was the person that was, you know, influencer, just
Speaker 3: as well as influenced by your m and your doctor
Speaker 3: dre's and above the laws and your dcs and the
Speaker 3: list goes on and it's like still sharp and still
Speaker 3: at the same time. So you know, that was the
Speaker 3: beginning of something that was very good because years later,
Speaker 3: you know, the resilience of any artists that stay consistent
Speaker 3: is the reason why they manifest and where they are
Speaker 3: today is because this game is brutal.
Speaker 5: It's worse than the dope game, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But music was embedded in me, and I was like, shit, man,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep going and I'm not gonna throw in
Speaker 3: the towel because a lot of people became one of it.
Speaker 5: Wonders than throughing the town.
Speaker 3: We could look at each other here and as old
Speaker 3: gs and as elders, you know, It's a blessing to
Speaker 3: go back and see youngsters all over the world now
Speaker 3: being intrigue with what's going on, because we used to
Speaker 3: be like that when we used to look at old
Speaker 3: records and we used to we was like, then, who
Speaker 3: did this?
Speaker 5: Who did that?
Speaker 3: So now it's going back because of the computers of
Speaker 3: worm up digging into crates and it's right on time, man.
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm happy. I don't live with no
Speaker 3: regrets through the good and bad. You know, the same
Speaker 3: thing that's designed to kind of stop you was the
Speaker 3: very same thing to catapult you years later.
Speaker 1: And see, you know what, you being around Drake kind
Speaker 1: of in this I ain't gonna say it's emphacy stages
Speaker 1: because it's by the time Drake was doing NWA, he
Speaker 1: had done world class recking crew and all kinds of
Speaker 1: other stuff. But you getting to work with him back
Speaker 1: then versus you getting to work with him now, kind
Speaker 1: of like in the prisons when you guys start doing
Speaker 1: all the stuff aftermath and everything like that. Did you
Speaker 1: see any difference in his production style or was he
Speaker 1: more laid back?
Speaker 3: It was it was dre is a phenomenal producer and
Speaker 3: a phenomenal DJ. First of all, you know, so back
Speaker 3: when they was doing any thing with Lonzo and Macola Records,
Speaker 3: can't forget about my coola of course.
Speaker 5: Yeah so yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: So I had the privilege I choose my words carefully.
Speaker 3: I had the privilege of seeing doctor Dre, you know,
Speaker 3: and above the law and DC and mc ran. But
Speaker 3: when I would see Dre in the studio, man, he
Speaker 3: mastered that SB twelve like nobody.
Speaker 5: He never mastered. He was like, you know, back then,
Speaker 5: doctor Dre was like.
Speaker 3: So it was like considered the West Coast bomb squad,
Speaker 3: you know, because he was a hell of a DJ.
Speaker 3: And to be able to to see him, you know,
Speaker 3: knights up there with him in Easy arguing like him
Speaker 3: and Easy used to have arguments like Easy was like, man,
Speaker 3: put this shit on, like this man. Dre was like, nah, man,
Speaker 3: we don't want to do that shit, man. But they
Speaker 3: still came to an agreement and came up with two
Speaker 3: of the most bombased classic records that arguably one is
Speaker 3: greater than the last, but they both greater. And that's
Speaker 3: straight out of Compton and Niggas for Life, And those
Speaker 3: guys gave me an opportunity I remember in nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: nine when Warren G and.
Speaker 5: Jewel Rest in Peace.
Speaker 3: They used to be at audio achievements and they used
Speaker 3: to be the highlight because they used to always bag.
Speaker 3: Warreng G said one time to Jewel, he was like this,
Speaker 3: I make you chuck my dick and then want no bullshit.
Speaker 3: And then Jewel was so covid she said, well pull
Speaker 3: the motherfucker out there, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 3: those times around there, you know, seeing Jude, even michele A,
Speaker 3: Warren G above the law, Doc mc ran, Rescue, pece CPO,
Speaker 3: Chip DJ Train, Rest in Peace, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: It was incredible because you got to realize all the
Speaker 3: success that came from ruthless. It's a significant reason why
Speaker 3: because of ruthless success is the reason why Death Row
Speaker 3: is successful, is the reason why.
Speaker 5: West Coast is successful.
Speaker 3: Of course, big ups to my twin, my og Pont
Speaker 3: the iced Tea. You know, he laid down the foundation,
Speaker 3: taking some of the elements because he knew the East
Speaker 3: Coast roots, but then easy put the shit on steroids
Speaker 3: because he took a chance being from Compton, and Compton
Speaker 3: is a significant part of West coast because they gave
Speaker 3: cats from Pomona, they gave cats from.
Speaker 5: Cleveland, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And that was the mission statement, you know, when Easy
Speaker 3: decided to put up his water money, you know, and
Speaker 3: his dope money for this to happen. Is the reason
Speaker 3: why years later it became a multi, multi, multi billion
Speaker 3: dollar industry helding.
Speaker 5: From the West Coast. So you know when you tell.
Speaker 3: Me that that Easy don't get his credit he deserved,
Speaker 3: that's genuine because he don't. Man, do not because Easy
Speaker 3: took a chance on us. Man, you know, he never
Speaker 3: made you feel like a two dollar bill the nigga
Speaker 3: used to roll with the Compton had in the back
Speaker 3: with the big ass body, bends quartiers and woo peopoo,
Speaker 3: pulling off greate nuts and made you feel like he
Speaker 3: was a multi million dollar nigga. So I learned that
Speaker 3: from him, how he was able to not just mex
Speaker 3: mess with brothers from the hood, but mess with essays
Speaker 3: that was a no no and political at that time.
Speaker 3: He took a chance.
Speaker 5: Then he went.
Speaker 3: Out the coast because he had the vision to say, Man,
Speaker 3: I'm listening to these dudes from Cleveland. They're gonna be
Speaker 3: the next this, this, this, and that Eric ideas a
Speaker 3: lot of people don't know people. I ain't gonna say bite,
Speaker 3: but was inspired by his ideas. Even all of us
Speaker 3: can say that no, mam, So you know, for me
Speaker 3: to be here and being that I was able to
Speaker 3: do what I was able to do, as being on
Speaker 3: all these records, I always pay homage to Eric, right,
Speaker 3: and of course I pay homage to Dre and everybody
Speaker 3: else that invited me on the project. It would be
Speaker 3: my blind arrogance if I was to say, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: the most speached artist, but love is a two way street.
Speaker 5: Me all those people invited me on there, like.
Speaker 3: Your aids and your Dre's and your stoops and bust
Speaker 3: the rhymes. And so that's the importance of fellowship and
Speaker 3: unity that years later, because some of the homies ain't gone.
Speaker 5: Rest of Peaks, KMG recipeace a lot of people.
Speaker 3: But we're here as pillars to really reminded the youngsters
Speaker 3: that hey have a certain tribal protocol. We're not here
Speaker 3: to bash the youngsters, but we're here to say, get
Speaker 3: your elbows off the table, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: because back when we was raised, you have your elbows
Speaker 3: on the table, Granny was slept ship out of you,
Speaker 3: and it's like, we got to get back to that
Speaker 3: because the.
Speaker 5: Youngsters is our future.
Speaker 3: So the discourse and disconnect between them is the reason
Speaker 3: why I think that we're still here able to put
Speaker 3: out those frequencies in magic and tell these stories that
Speaker 3: really gonna inspire people because people forgot about those stories
Speaker 3: and we didn't have no internet, we had storytelling.
Speaker 5: Do you feel you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Because you come from the era of you know where
Speaker 6: I came from as far as music and hip hop
Speaker 6: is concerned. But you know, a lot of young influence
Speaker 6: nowadays really kind of you know, I want to disassociate
Speaker 6: themselves with our generation of hip hop. Not all because
Speaker 6: there's a lot of today rappers or the generation behind
Speaker 6: us or whatever that respect, you know, the craft that
Speaker 6: you know I did or Easy did, or King Tea
Speaker 6: or Iced Tea. But then there's a lot of there's
Speaker 6: a lot of disconnection from dudes who want to even
Speaker 6: associate with our era of hip hop.
Speaker 2: Well, how you feel about that?
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, youngster's got to know that ain't
Speaker 3: no expiration data on dope music period. It's not like
Speaker 3: you in the NBA and then you break your achilles
Speaker 3: and then you can't play no more.
Speaker 5: But you see cats like.
Speaker 3: George Clinton eighty three years old, still killing them, you.
Speaker 5: Know what I mean. And it's only in hip hop.
Speaker 5: You can go to you can go to rock and bro.
Speaker 3: You can have Mick Jagger, they can fall off, they
Speaker 3: can lay back for fifteen years and pack eighty thousand
Speaker 3: people and the stuff. So the stigma between young and old,
Speaker 3: it's just some bullshit and bullshit propaganda that if.
Speaker 5: You're willing to listen to it, you're gonna be seduced
Speaker 5: by it.
Speaker 3: So I'm saying all the youngsters out there, you know,
Speaker 3: get back to the point to where you learn from
Speaker 3: the legends. And at the same time, it's accountability for
Speaker 3: the ol g's because some OG's wasn't even leading people
Speaker 3: youngsters the right way. Let's just keep it one hundred.
Speaker 3: Let's not throw it all on the youngsters like that,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's accountability for everything. But
Speaker 3: it's a season for us to go ahead and talk
Speaker 3: about it. So that way, you know, once we gone
Speaker 3: and our music, you know, a hundred years from now,
Speaker 3: we'll be able to make a difference and be a
Speaker 3: cornerstone piece to influence them. And of course, you know,
Speaker 3: the disrespect is not tolerated, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: because we was raised from the era well we you know,
Speaker 3: you would have a hundred gang bankers out, you know,
Speaker 3: in my front yard or something.
Speaker 5: And when miss y'all meanee Selim came by.
Speaker 3: And said take that shit down the street, we say yes, yes,
Speaker 3: miss y'all mean celn Yes, ma'am. Now, because of the
Speaker 3: Internet and because of the real weirdo shit, it turned up
Speaker 3: on steroids to where they're mostly projecting disrespect. But the
Speaker 3: good the good thing about us is that, oh Jesus,
Speaker 3: back to back against the wall. It could be a
Speaker 3: lot of y'all, but we're gonna stand tall because you know,
Speaker 3: all sperm cells don't get to the egg.
Speaker 5: Only one gonna listen.
Speaker 3: So you know, if we talk it to that one
Speaker 3: youngster out of ten that ain't gonna listen, that's gonna
Speaker 3: make a difference.
Speaker 5: And it really ain't no disconnect. It's all mental, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But more and more we embrace our youngsters with letting
Speaker 3: them know that, hey, it's a tribal order.
Speaker 5: To this shit.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, we didn't get down that,
Speaker 3: like we don't dish when George clinton't come in the room,
Speaker 3: I don't disrespect him. I might have a difference of opinion,
Speaker 3: but at the same time, I don't disrespect my elders.
Speaker 3: And we just got to keep pushing it and pushing
Speaker 3: it and stay in the rhythm so that way the
Speaker 3: youngsters could feel comfortable, as the OG's feel comfortable by
Speaker 3: opening up that dialogue with everybody not pointing fingers. Well, no,
Speaker 3: it's not about that.
Speaker 4: Is that really a thing? Still though at this point, well,
Speaker 4: like where y'all feel like young rappers is like that.
Speaker 3: I don't feel all young rappers like that. But the disrespect,
Speaker 3: you don't disrespect. It's just like you don't disrespect your mother,
Speaker 3: you don't disrespect your g's.
Speaker 5: Now, if a.
Speaker 3: Person's not leading by example and only doing a sample,
Speaker 3: well that's some hypocritical shit. But for those that are
Speaker 3: out there OG's that are on the front line still
Speaker 3: packing them shows, we're basically telling the youngsters, you're gonna
Speaker 3: be one of us one day live. Don't be a
Speaker 3: three pot, you know what I'm saying. Everybody trying to
Speaker 3: be a three pot there was only one Tupac. Everybody
Speaker 3: trying to be a three pot. No, man, if you
Speaker 3: humble yourself, you know, and know that all the rhetoric
Speaker 3: with the money and this and that and the lean
Speaker 3: and this. See what generation we come from. It wasn't
Speaker 3: cool to use drugs. Now it's cool to use drugs,
Speaker 3: and they pushing that line and pushing that agenda, especially
Speaker 3: with corporate structure, because we have been there before where
Speaker 3: there was meetings and shit to turn reality wrap into
Speaker 3: gangster rap, which white media did that shit. We was
Speaker 3: calling ship reality because guess what it was reality.
Speaker 5: You know, so I think give it some time.

Speaker 5: Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something.
Speaker 5: Is that fake or is that reality? No?
Speaker 2: That was shit. We were it was reality. But I
Speaker 2: don't think like I don't.
Speaker 6: I didn't look at it as like you know, because
Speaker 6: this ain't everybody's reality.
Speaker 2: This is what's going on in my neighborhood, right.
Speaker 5: You know what we used to call it street reporting.
Speaker 6: I used to call it just neighborhood music. I'm making
Speaker 6: neighborhood music because it's it's for it's for a certain audience.
Speaker 6: Everybody ain't gonna like my shit, and this is not
Speaker 6: everybody's reality.
Speaker 2: You get me.
Speaker 6: So this is my form of reporting because motherfuckers all

Speaker 6: It was all they was talking about gangsters and cluckheads
Speaker 6: and straw.
Speaker 4: That's how I remember all that. That's how I remember
Speaker 4: old war.
Speaker 2: That was my.
Speaker 1: First glasses is asking if you're who was the first
Speaker 1: one to rip their hood openly.
Speaker 4: Going no, no, not not that big hot but just

Speaker 4: that's differult.
Speaker 6: You just talking about somebody heard the motherfucker gold nigga
Speaker 6: make gangster.
Speaker 2: This is a gangster U ship.
Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of a lot of people
Speaker 3: back then you say street knowledge. That's what street reporters.
Speaker 3: We're street reporters. They were saying that in eighty seven.
Speaker 3: Weren't nobody saying, man were on some gangster ship on
Speaker 3: MTV with five fath No, they wasn't. No.
Speaker 6: They just did that I think because and like I said,
Speaker 6: because of where we was from.
Speaker 5: That was my white media. And I don't even want
Speaker 5: to say the name.
Speaker 6: It was a publicist that said he represented and Cali
Speaker 6: was known for blood and that was gangster or as
Speaker 6: far as people looked at us like oh, because you know,
Speaker 6: back in the days, gangsters was the niggas who wore
Speaker 6: the hats with the three piece suits and shit like that.
Speaker 6: But as far as the West Coast was concerned, gangster
Speaker 6: was the niggas who wearing the red and blue rags.
Speaker 4: I always looked at it like a like a modern
Speaker 4: day extension of cowboys. So when I would hear y'all
Speaker 4: records when I was young, like my mom, feel me
Speaker 4: my first experience to a one starle My mom you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, raised me, you know, in the
Speaker 4: forums and richly forms. So we used to go to
Speaker 4: this one stop in Orange County and this she would
Speaker 4: buy so many albums. This is where she would go
Speaker 4: to Bomba. It was a better deal. And I remember
Speaker 4: always seeing it like y'all was like black cowboys, Like
Speaker 4: all the stories are like cowboys stories and as funny.
Speaker 4: As I get older, I think back, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: I never looked at y'all, Like I didn't even look
Speaker 4: at I don't think I looked at y'all so much
Speaker 4: like rappers versus niggas from around the way talking about
Speaker 4: how shit was going down around the way. It was
Speaker 4: like cowboys like outlaw. Feel me, niggas gonna have a gun.
Speaker 4: Niggas is going where they're going, whatever is happening, and
Speaker 4: that's how I always consumed it.
Speaker 3: But when you think about it, you know a lot
Speaker 3: of people, you know, because I remember when they had
Speaker 3: self destructure and then we came.
Speaker 5: We came with our ship.
Speaker 3: We all in the same game with Mike exception on.
Speaker 3: A lot of gangster shit came from the East Coast.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought.
Speaker 5: Just Ice was cast the message. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: A lot, a lot of stuff you know, came through there,
Speaker 3: and it was a blessing that that, you know, Ice Tea,
Speaker 3: you know, Twin had those East Coast elements because it
Speaker 3: ain't where you're from, it's where you're at. It's like
Speaker 3: they used to get the clothes, they used to get everything,
Speaker 3: used to come to.
Speaker 5: New York first, the Mecca, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So we wanted to change the whole thing by introducing
Speaker 3: our shit but coming from the West Coast because a
Speaker 3: lot of the names that were named were similar to
Speaker 3: the names of the East Coast.
Speaker 5: No bullshit, I.
Speaker 1: Can dig it, I can you know. I want to
Speaker 1: go back and ask a few more questions about my
Speaker 1: boy Easy right, So Easy goes to this big turmoil,
Speaker 1: everybody leaf and everybody bounced pretty much. You and him
Speaker 1: had a really good relationship. Absolutely did that impacts you
Speaker 1: when he did? You like, when that whole riff happened,
Speaker 1: where was you at with everything?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 3: It was crazy because let me let me, let me
Speaker 3: sum it up, and I got this shit down to
Speaker 3: a t nineteen ninety Above the log came out in
Speaker 3: the nineteen ninety Warren g on Snoop and Ny Dog
Speaker 3: to the studio on loci Enegan, Ctenola in Inglehood. Prior
Speaker 3: to that, in eighty nine, Orange and myself used to
Speaker 3: stay with Hutch and Coton California, Department one eight seven,
Speaker 3: Cottonwood Ranch.
Speaker 5: So we were all with each other everybody.
Speaker 3: You know, Sugar was our bodyguard back then.
Speaker 5: We used to hook up.
Speaker 3: I mean I got my first cars from Sugar in
Speaker 3: eighty nine. And Ron Brown that used to play for
Speaker 3: the Rams and shit. So you know, but it's a trip.
Speaker 3: How just everything just transpired after you know, you know,
Speaker 3: Snoop and everybody audition for Hutch actually above the law
Speaker 3: because they was gonna put their record on a lot
Speaker 3: of people don't know, just Snoop Snoop was going to
Speaker 3: be a ruthless artist. But because I was signed and
Speaker 3: had contractual obligations to him, he had to wait, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. So we created something called black
Speaker 3: Mafia Life, and you got to realize, you know, everybody
Speaker 3: was influencing everybody, still sharp and still you know a
Speaker 3: lot of people say it was bid, it was this
Speaker 3: and that. You know, hot show and the butter Law
Speaker 3: and co Cocaine was influential to n w A and
Speaker 3: Doctor Dre and Snoop and everybody else, and they were
Speaker 3: too to us, you know.
Speaker 5: So it's a.
Speaker 3: Trip to see how the revelation of those two. I
Speaker 3: would say not.
Speaker 5: Brutal, because Biggie and Pockshit was brutal. They're not here,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm asking if anybody in here going live kind of
Speaker 1: cut it right now. We've got to put the show
Speaker 1: out and release it.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, what you talking about? Now? What was he saying?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: I forgot about what all said it was?
Speaker 4: How was the break?
Speaker 1: Really? Where was you at? Like? Where was you at
Speaker 1: with the rift? Like as y'all was?
Speaker 5: Okay, So.
Speaker 3: We were gonna leave Ruthless Records, BA La Lag Cocaine Wow,
Speaker 3: because of the contracts was fucked up at that time.
Speaker 5: That was Jerry. Oh wow, they were double tipping.
Speaker 3: You sell records over here, and we shipped three hundred
Speaker 3: thousand international all that shit, so we were tight. Dray
Speaker 3: didn't have to leave. Dre wanted to leave, you know,
Speaker 3: because he's seeing Q leave. The poison as being spread.
Speaker 3: And I can't fault him because the paperwork was wasn't correct.
Speaker 3: You wasn't getting published, let me tell you, and all
Speaker 3: that shit. And re rekindled our business relationship with Eric
Speaker 3: because we loved the brother so much, because he gave
Speaker 3: us an opportunity of a lifetime. And he called the
Speaker 3: meeting Loci and against Centinella at the Edge Recording Studio,
Speaker 3: and Dre didn't show up to that meeting. We rekindled
Speaker 3: our business relationship because actually the first people that were
Speaker 3: gonna be on death row was not Snoop, was not
Speaker 3: Dog Pound was above the long cocaine. But we backed
Speaker 3: out of the deal and to stay with E and
Speaker 3: at the time I had obligations with Rutheless and at
Speaker 3: that time much past Warren g took Snoop and they
Speaker 3: Dog to a barbecue whatever they was having playing the music.
Speaker 3: Doctor Dre called Hutch and said, I know you're working
Speaker 3: with Snoop Man, I want to put some shit out
Speaker 3: of him. I said, go ahead, man, he's a dope preestyler.
Speaker 3: I'm working on cocaine shit. That landed the deal because
Speaker 3: Hutch gave Doctor Dre the blessing for Snoop Dogg.
Speaker 5: Back then.
Speaker 3: Do so we were listening to some shit and even
Speaker 3: at the same time, we were at a party because
Speaker 3: it was all homeboys, even when the breakup happened in
Speaker 3: ninety one and we was we was at this function
Speaker 3: right and we was playing black Mafia life.
Speaker 5: I'm not bringing just ahing, you know some of the shit.
Speaker 5: And Doctor Dre was.
Speaker 3: Like, Hey, HUDs Man, what's that ship. Y'all call y'all
Speaker 3: shit man, that's shit hard. I was just like, Nigga,
Speaker 3: we call a gphone man, that's our shit. He's like, Nigga,
Speaker 3: y'all go wing all, Drea, Nigga, y'all go win on that.
Speaker 3: So then we were all cool. Dre was beefing because
Speaker 3: the poison was spread. You know what I'm saying, niggas
Speaker 3: hated on us, and I know who was behind it.
Speaker 3: I don't need to say his name. You know he
Speaker 3: in jail, you know what I mean. But yeah, it
Speaker 3: was like hearing them say some of our words, bawling,
Speaker 3: chronic all the shit that came from us. So we
Speaker 3: was like and then we heard it was like damn
Speaker 3: this and us man, like you auditioned for us at
Speaker 3: that time, but see when you look years later, it
Speaker 3: don't matter if you right or wrong. If you ride
Speaker 3: with somebody, you don't care about shit. So I understood
Speaker 3: and in respect that that they were riding for them
Speaker 3: no matter what, and we was riding for us. So
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety two, I still had a chance to
Speaker 3: get on a Death Row orientated soundtrack that was called
Speaker 3: Deep Cover.
Speaker 5: Nichols Slick Nigga is on that, on that shit.
Speaker 3: And I got a chance to get on Minister Society
Speaker 3: soundtrack doing a record for mss Keylo.
Speaker 5: Call All Over Ale.
Speaker 2: Yeah that was the ship.
Speaker 5: You feel what I'm saying, So everybody you know it was.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a crazy atmosphere at that time. And Easy
Speaker 3: was like, man, I ain't Fina dished them because I'm
Speaker 3: making more money off Dre because Dre he still was
Speaker 3: on contract and all this other shit. So but we
Speaker 3: got to the point to where we was like, easy,
Speaker 3: you gotta say something, you know, and then whoever put corrupt?
Speaker 3: And I loving the life, I love dash to life.
Speaker 3: But they dissed us on a song called Blunching Tangle
Speaker 3: Ray in nineteen ninety three. I don't I don't fuck
Speaker 3: with no motherfucking cocaine, cocaine to blow up.
Speaker 5: This is corrupt. But I love you nigga. You know.
Speaker 3: But back time, they was riding for death row and
Speaker 3: we were riding for roopless because we felt we had
Speaker 3: more yaps in the game because of what influence we
Speaker 3: did and what we felt like y'all took.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question, f me, what made
Speaker 4: so did dre and all of that stuff went a
Speaker 4: certain way? If I remember being a kid and reading
Speaker 4: about it. What made the ice que about the lost
Speaker 4: shit so crazy?
Speaker 5: How did they well?
Speaker 3: First of all, first of all, Nwa didn't fight ice
Speaker 3: Cube no, and he said some stuff at that time,
Speaker 3: you know, and ice Cube ain't no buster because ice
Speaker 3: Cube defended itself way and.
Speaker 5: Lose draw whatever. He defended hisself.
Speaker 3: But at that time, we was like, why you gotta
Speaker 3: say something about us? You know what I'm saying because
Speaker 3: he said, Niggas from Pomona. He was like count clowning us,
Speaker 3: and it was it was clowning us. He said, Niggas
Speaker 3: from Pomona. The only thing they need to be thinking
Speaker 3: about is the ten Freeway because they ain't nothing out.
Speaker 5: Dear should have said that, that's.
Speaker 3: What gangster shit going on, because when we came to
Speaker 3: Ropeus Records, Niggas was selling dope, Niggas was busting on niggas.
Speaker 3: Niggas was doing all that, Niggas was spiking the clubs.
Speaker 3: You Knowniggas was doing. Niggas was really know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: A lot of people, Yeah, didn't you know what it was? Yeah,
Speaker 6: so you can tell people what Yeah it was like,
Speaker 6: yeah it was it was it was street, it was neighborhood.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But see when we came came out because we had
Speaker 3: to prove ourselves because it was a small andreacy. But
Speaker 3: but with the last county out of l A, in
Speaker 3: order to go to the l A County.
Speaker 5: Fair Grounds, you got to go.
Speaker 4: To Pomona, So you'll go to the county.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we had some we have some real See
Speaker 3: when above law and cocaine came to that.
Speaker 5: It was on a different element.
Speaker 3: Eric was like, man, y'all need to stop selling DoPT
Speaker 3: really above the law, y'all need to stop selling dope. Man,
Speaker 3: y'all need to stop doing this. So they called above
Speaker 3: the law henchmen for n w A. So when that
Speaker 3: thing happened with q Q came up to the celebrity, No,
Speaker 3: I was a celebrity. That was the celebrity. It was
Speaker 3: rest in peace, Guru.
Speaker 2: But it was it was above the law. It was
Speaker 2: us yep. It was low profile.
Speaker 5: And Guru gankstart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was when the stage rotated around.
Speaker 5: Celebrity yep, yep.
Speaker 3: So when Cbe came through, you know, since Cube and
Speaker 3: Larry and mister Larry Goodman Laylaw were very tight, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Ben tight, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: You know Cube try to you know, just come through
Speaker 3: and try to hash it out. And you know, Hutch
Speaker 3: wasn't having it. The crew wasn't having it. But it's
Speaker 3: not like he didn't defend itself. It's easy to be
Speaker 3: like boo boo, you can say that, but then is
Speaker 3: you gonna take that fade? He took the fade.
Speaker 5: However it went. He took that fade.
Speaker 3: But then that was at that time where it was
Speaker 3: like Nigga, you don't say nothing about pomoning niggas man.
Speaker 3: We we considered ourselves at that time the real ones
Speaker 3: at Ruper's records because we were smoking weed when niggas
Speaker 3: didn't smoke weed. We were shelling dope when niggas said
Speaker 3: they were selling dope outside of e It's real shit.
Speaker 3: It's not to take nothing. It's not nothing to take
Speaker 3: away from anybody else.
Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta remember that Niggas was in high
Speaker 4: school and y'all, yeah, you kind of heard that, you know,
Speaker 4: I mean, growing up. But I just wonder why the
Speaker 4: Dre stuff. I don't think it was as bad as
Speaker 4: this stuff. Like I guess maybe it had a chance
Speaker 4: to come to a head at that point because y'all
Speaker 4: ran into somebody.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, it was a lot of shit
Speaker 5: going on.
Speaker 3: And like I said, when you talk about beef, you
Speaker 3: gotta talk about people that are not here no more.
Speaker 3: I mean, Doctor Dre and Easy was dissing each other,
Speaker 3: but they lived in Calabasa, seeing each other traffic Hong
Speaker 3: Kong around the corner deuces. So nah, that was some
Speaker 3: other when other people are behind it, did it something else?
Speaker 3: And there was other people behind it. Because years later
Speaker 3: me and Snooped and Orange all of us, Doctor Draven
Speaker 3: hooked back up and was like, man, what the fuck
Speaker 3: we was fighting for? That was on some rubless deth
Speaker 3: row and that's on people. You know, sug was right
Speaker 3: when he was saying certain things as far as publishing.
Speaker 3: It's far as certain things, you know, But this is
Speaker 3: my opinion. It just got to his head. A lot
Speaker 3: of shit got to his head, and he took things
Speaker 3: in the wrong manner.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: Now, just imagine if he would have took it in
Speaker 3: a different manner, you know what I mean, he would
Speaker 3: be a multi multi billionaire.
Speaker 5: Park would still be here.
Speaker 3: But in this game, you cannot let your mind think
Speaker 3: you bigger than the bridges, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Easy to lose yourself, especially when you're being successful.
Speaker 5: And even see Easy Easy was never like that.
Speaker 3: And see Easy was going to get rid of I
Speaker 3: remember walking in the office in Calabasits. He was like
Speaker 3: Jerry Heller was on his side and Easy on a side.
Speaker 5: Me and Hutch walked in. He was like, I'm about
Speaker 5: to get rid of him.
Speaker 3: Man, it's bullshit because everybody found out even Easy that
Speaker 3: if you press up two hundred thousand and.
Speaker 5: A lot of the mafia motherfucker was doing.
Speaker 3: That in the industry and about that they would double
Speaker 3: dip in print out of town. But that shit got
Speaker 3: done to him too, and got done to all of us,
Speaker 3: and you know, yeah, but at the same time doing it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but at the same time pros and cons. Jerry Heller
Speaker 3: was a significant fat of Ruthless Records doing what he
Speaker 3: did with JJ Padd because JJ Padd opened up the
Speaker 3: doors to straight out of Compton and everything else that
Speaker 3: derived from that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: So it's pros and cons and everything.
Speaker 3: But you know, I hear a lot of people talk
Speaker 3: about a lot of stories on how Easy Went went.
Speaker 3: All I know is I'm gonna tell you this me
Speaker 3: Jada Pickett hutch KMG Recipes had a meeting prior to
Speaker 3: Eric Passion who that was gonna do. Jada Pickett was
Speaker 3: gonna do California because her.
Speaker 5: Jena King. That was after we used to go to Peanuts.
Speaker 3: They used to come to the studio with us, So.
Speaker 5: It was like we was talking Eric's coping. I was
Speaker 5: like damn, I don't like coming man.
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden we hear you know,
Speaker 3: he's in the hospital now. Eric was cool a week ago,
Speaker 3: Magic Johnson, it's still here thirty. Eric had enough access
Speaker 3: enough medical stuff, just as much as Magic Dunton.
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna leave it right there.
Speaker 6: It's a lot of people have a lot of difference
Speaker 6: in opinions and controversy.
Speaker 2: Behind what happened to you because of the way it
Speaker 2: happened and how.
Speaker 5: Like this put it like this. A lot of motherfuckers
Speaker 5: don't know Easy was really connected.
Speaker 3: He was connected connected on some other ship, and he
Speaker 3: wanted to do right by his artists. He wanted to
Speaker 3: do right by n WA, his whole ship. But because
Speaker 3: he was too deep in the ocean, you don't know
Speaker 3: what to expect.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, especially when you start talking about that
Speaker 1: amount of money, because I know the physical game, right,
Speaker 1: you're talking about two hundred thousand records. If you were
Speaker 1: able to go print up to press up two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand records overseas, you gotta think about the exchange rate
Speaker 1: at that time for like the pound right compared to
Speaker 1: the American dollar. So if you go over there, and
Speaker 1: get five five you tell it to them for five pounds,
Speaker 1: that means you getting ten dollars, possibly ten to fifty
Speaker 1: depending on this change rate that day. So we talk
Speaker 1: about millions of dollars being gone. Man, somebody could feel
Speaker 1: that some kind of way when they get put out
Speaker 1: that monic.
Speaker 3: Cheese and see Eric was like, man, we're finna get
Speaker 3: NWA back together.
Speaker 5: He had a quick meeting with QBE he told us.
Speaker 3: Called us on the phone, like, man, we gonna make
Speaker 3: all this shit happen, but it's shit happens the way
Speaker 3: it happens.
Speaker 1: Now before we go on. You know further, if Easier
Speaker 1: stayed it live, let's just stay theoretically he stayed alive.
Speaker 1: You think Ruthless has probably been the biggest record label
Speaker 1: hip hop record label of all time.
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, absolutely, because it wasn't no stopping us.
Speaker 3: It was something new, it was fresh. It was coming
Speaker 3: from a suppressed environment where everybody, I don't care where
Speaker 3: you're from, they related to that.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. They influenced all of us, man.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can go back and say I might
Speaker 3: have been rapping at the same time.
Speaker 5: But they out the gate. They influenced all of us.
Speaker 3: Man, that allowed people from a suppressed environment or ghettos
Speaker 3: or a hood.
Speaker 5: For us to go ahead and capitulate to success.
Speaker 3: You know, we were very successful because you know who
Speaker 3: would think man like a brother from Compton that put
Speaker 3: up his dope money and years later you see the
Speaker 3: family tree he created. It's just on a business administrative level,
Speaker 3: it's just astronomical.
Speaker 5: So of course they would have been the biggest shit ever.
Speaker 3: Because death Row wouldn't be death row without the success
Speaker 3: of ROUPUS records.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta remember. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: forget that. When trade, when he had all those defectors,
Speaker 1: he had a budd of law y'all was still doing
Speaker 1: your thing, signed bone thugs, harmony who blew the fuck
Speaker 1: up because.
Speaker 4: They were so different with dope for it to be
Speaker 4: out of state, that's that was always a different kind
Speaker 4: of He knew.
Speaker 3: When Eric came to us, he said, look, man, all
Speaker 3: that where you're from. Yeah, I don't care if you
Speaker 3: crip blood essay. We got to sell records to everybody,
Speaker 3: so we don't need none of that ship. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. We're selling records. He understood the vision
Speaker 3: that we all do down like we messed with a
Speaker 3: lot of people. Definitely, but he understood that vision and
Speaker 3: you know, it's safe to say he was the first
Speaker 3: one to have that vision. That definitely hustler, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, and don't get nothing, don't get nothing twisted.
Speaker 3: Everybody rhyme Sitdeka was definitely doing their thing.
Speaker 5: I want to say that. I mean at that time.
Speaker 4: To me, that's how I look at it, right, Ryan,
Speaker 4: all the stuff that came with Iced Tea and Unknown
Speaker 4: and all the stuff that came from Easy and everything
Speaker 4: which goes to me like Uncle Jam's Army and world
Speaker 4: class record crew. So all the things, right because Unknown
Speaker 4: come from Uncle Jam's Army. Unknown, you know, you get
Speaker 4: the Ice Tea records, you get the comp's most wanted
Speaker 4: and then all the same from Easy, dren.
Speaker 3: Check a few Egyptian Lover was motherfl Us, they had
Speaker 3: King t Yep, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of that stuff came from those things as
Speaker 4: a head elements.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it goes back Man to influence. You know,
Speaker 3: influence is important because all music is recycled, you know,
Speaker 3: and we were influenced and we was on the custom
Speaker 3: things that we didn't know years later, how much West
Speaker 3: Coast influence would have an impact on the world wide coaches,
Speaker 3: from low riding to banging to how we wear our
Speaker 3: whole ship. We don't call it. We didn't call it
Speaker 3: a trap. We call it the You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: We influenced a lot. And what you know, at that time,
Speaker 3: they didn't give East Coast a chance to have breakout
Speaker 3: records to make millions of dollars?
Speaker 5: What Eric did?
Speaker 3: He and Jerry Eller they showed a blueprint on how
Speaker 3: to make millions of dollars. Because if there was no
Speaker 3: rubless records in blueprint, it even goes down.
Speaker 5: To jay Z.
Speaker 3: I mean, they wouldn't even knew what to do because
Speaker 3: on the West Coast we were making money on the
Speaker 3: West coast, East Coast. It started from there, but then
Speaker 3: when it moved to the West Coast, we were checkbusting,
Speaker 3: we were doing our ship, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: And it became a rival. At that time. I remember
Speaker 3: Tim Dogg had a called Whoop woop Compton and it's like,
Speaker 3: why did he do that? You feel me? Because West
Speaker 3: Coast was making a big impression on the whole fucking world.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: About it right there was talking about self destruction. Now
Speaker 4: you look out there and they got bloods and crips,
Speaker 4: they got bloods.
Speaker 5: And man, I went out there.
Speaker 3: I went out there, Hey man, this is Brooklyn, blood
Speaker 3: do Jersey, Grape Street, all kinds of ship.
Speaker 4: And I don't hung in all the hoods. They got neighborhoods.
Speaker 4: In the Bronx, they serious suits and Brooklyn they got
Speaker 4: brims and and and and and I was calling still,
Speaker 4: I'm telling him every time I'm hanging out with different people,
Speaker 4: they got were woo tangs from they got brims and
Speaker 4: them projects. Now you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: But that's what that's that's that's that's you know now
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 3: When we're looking back and you see all the movies
Speaker 3: you did it was a part of and different.
Speaker 5: Other things that we did. It it's like it's deep
Speaker 5: with the influence. Man, definitely, it's it's.
Speaker 3: Super deep, like like the gospel so to speak, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. And we're we're definitely privileged to
Speaker 3: be able to tell a tale because some of the homies,
Speaker 3: you know, rest of pees.
Speaker 2: Ain't you just didn't make it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And uh, like I said, it's it's it's it's
Speaker 6: definitely fortunate to be able to come from and walks
Speaker 6: of life and be able to still sit around and
Speaker 6: tell people about you know, uh, what you basically had
Speaker 6: to go through, you know, to get to this point
Speaker 6: right now, because it wasn't always studios and microphones and shit.
Speaker 6: Before that ship came along, Niggas was really living. Uh,
Speaker 6: you know what we speak about and and what you
Speaker 6: see and what we try to represent.
Speaker 2: And that ship wasn't easy.
Speaker 6: You know, No fuckers look at uh being from the
Speaker 6: neighborhood is a glorified faction or some ship, like.
Speaker 4: A bunch of poor niggas trying to make mother.
Speaker 2: That was a hard life.
Speaker 4: That was a poor bunch of poor niggas trying to
Speaker 4: hardever you can. It's funny. I did an interview with
Speaker 4: Arion Foster and some white guys and they was like,

Speaker 4: you know, he didn't want to ask. He felt his embarrassed,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, ship, what you do on Tuesday? Usually

Speaker 4: look at it like it's this different thing, and I
Speaker 4: keep explaining it's just a bunch of poor people trying
Speaker 4: to make a name for themself.
Speaker 5: Makes ship talk.

Speaker 6: you, you know, it's unfortunate that we as a people like
Speaker 6: to see you know, silly and crazy ship and embarrassing ship,
Speaker 6: and that's what puts the scales of curiosity up there.
Speaker 6: But sometimes you gotta, uh, you got respect who you
Speaker 6: are and not want to do a lot of ship
Speaker 6: for a paycheck.
Speaker 2: And that's what I feel.
Speaker 6: Just listen to this world ship and you know sometimes

Speaker 3: That's a weakness, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just young man, young brother, live a little bit.
Speaker 3: You know he gonna go back and be like damn man.
Speaker 3: Because that's that's what we want to really perpetuate, is
Speaker 3: that youngsters listen, learn because you want to be a

Speaker 5: a real agenda.
Speaker 4: Break baby, Man, she's gonna be out. She got thirty bucks.

Speaker 1: know exactly. And I was.
Speaker 4: I was saying that to Ted and them. I'm like,
Speaker 4: this is a real funk album. It's a disservice to

Speaker 1: Even the way the album covers the sign. Look at this,
Speaker 1: This is like the album cover that your mom had shot.

Speaker 1: in there with y'all, because that's what y'all doing.
Speaker 4: Boozy Boosy, Why breathing Boosy is alive?
Speaker 3: Ave, I got something brewing in the store. I just

Speaker 3: baby Mama Monkey. You know what I'm saying, and you're
Speaker 3: gonna dig it.
Speaker 1: I know we gotta started relating. I promise you ain't
Speaker 1: gonna hold us too much longer. I think something that
Speaker 1: y'all both doing is dope is they both got your
Speaker 1: own labels. And I think what you're doing with Buddy
Speaker 1: Boys genius. I was talking to him one day about
Speaker 1: going to go stream his music. He said, you gotta
Speaker 1: go to Buddy Boy stream my shit. Oh yeah, iTunes.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna tell you something
Speaker 1: not to cut you off. Motherfucker's laughing at me. It's like, yeah, streaming,
Speaker 1: streaming fourteen years. I've been pushing this website.
Speaker 3: Now who laughing everybody, and they Mama bo, you go
Speaker 3: to my web because dummy, is nothing more important than
Speaker 3: cutting out the middle man and direct marketing. That point
Speaker 3: zero seven on the sense is fuckery. And the industry
Speaker 3: did this on purpose. They purposely put out a propaganda
Speaker 3: blitz and they made more money with the streaming company
Speaker 3: than they ever did in the fucking music industry.
Speaker 1: But let me take that back. All something all three
Speaker 1: of y'all is doing because he is putting his own
Speaker 1: shit out.
Speaker 4: To you, just talking about cocaine and eight no.
Speaker 1: No, all three of yo, all three of yo. Y'all
Speaker 1: putting out y'all own music now. And I think that's incredible,
Speaker 1: and I think that's sportant out because you really don't
Speaker 1: need no middle man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say, I saw four hundred and thirteen CDs
Speaker 4: in eleven days.
Speaker 3: Look, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 3: You you gotta sell a billion, a trillion one to
Speaker 3: get a little bubblegum check compared to like selling twenty
Speaker 3: or twenty five thousand units.
Speaker 5: It's like, are you this is the music business? Do
Speaker 5: you do you? Are you in the business? Are you
Speaker 5: in the just industry?
Speaker 3: And it's like, I don't consider us a part of
Speaker 3: the industry because that shit is over with.
Speaker 5: Man, The word celebrity is unheard of.
Speaker 3: Anybody can hop up on TikTok and do some bubblegum
Speaker 3: ass shit and go viral, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So us as the last of a dying breed, it's
Speaker 3: for us to control the culture because we have the autonomy.
Speaker 3: Just be patient, you know, don't don't don't, don't sell
Speaker 3: your pork bellies yet. Man, when you already got your stable.
Speaker 3: And it's like, we're blessed enough to be here. We
Speaker 3: do shows. Money's is coming through. We can license out records,
Speaker 3: all kinds of things because we have went to that stature,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. We have paid the cost
Speaker 3: to be the boss over a thirty four year plight.
Speaker 3: I can say, me and this gentleman right here, we're
Speaker 3: able to go ahead and transcend the time. So when
Speaker 3: you get older, you're supposed to learn more you know,
Speaker 3: that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 5: And we were blessed enough to.
Speaker 3: Take a risk, because no man can't win if you
Speaker 3: don't take a risk on yourself, if you always want
Speaker 3: to bang on somebody door, where you're gonna capitulate the
Speaker 3: being the third or fourth fifth party on your music.
Speaker 5: And I got tired of that shit. Motherfucker's just taking
Speaker 5: take taking.
Speaker 3: They don't take into consideration it costs over ten fifteen
Speaker 3: thousand the promotion.
Speaker 5: Shit, it costs over ten to be in the studio.
Speaker 3: It's like the word candy striper and free became intertwined
Speaker 3: when it came to the internet. Now we get an
Speaker 3: opportunity and chance to direct market and really create a
Speaker 3: new fucking industry because the old industry is archaic.
Speaker 5: It's out the fucking window.
Speaker 3: They done stole from us, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: did this And it's like you see a lot of
Speaker 3: big record labels they shaking in their boots.
Speaker 5: Who whatever thought MCA will foul Chapter eleven.
Speaker 3: There's no mc A, no more MCACA is going all them.
Speaker 5: You feel me.
Speaker 3: But then that's good because it's good for the independent artists.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And you know, I get deals offered all the time.
Speaker 3: Y'all could do the cash money thing right now. But
Speaker 3: if a person say I'm worth fifteen to twenty million,
Speaker 3: that let me know I'm worth a billion, nigga.
Speaker 4: They can't you your wife and make money.
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of time taking ship, taking no deal,
Speaker 3: my nigga, and I don't want to put nobody on blasts,
Speaker 3: but they offer me a significant amount of money, and
Speaker 3: I said, nah, cool you want so.
Speaker 1: If this Jim walking here right now said eight, we
Speaker 1: want to put out one. We want to put out a.
Speaker 5: Part to Paish Now, don't get it twisted. Don't get
Speaker 5: it twisted.
Speaker 4: One album.
Speaker 5: The only way you deal with majors like.
Speaker 3: That is if you license out some ship. If you
Speaker 3: license out some ship, you own your ship. They got
Speaker 3: so much to collect and sell the record that give
Speaker 3: you insurance. It's no reason why anybody that has a
Speaker 3: that has a structure or independent should sell the rights
Speaker 3: and ship and get into a con con where they
Speaker 3: can track you. You feel me, contracts, you get into agreements, man.
Speaker 3: That's why things that I do all over the world,
Speaker 3: whether it's music, commercials, not just in the United States.
