Speaker 1: You know what's crazy, Luda is a little unknown story.

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: I used to be on the radio at a place

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: in Vegas called KVG, and I had made the plan

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: to quit, but we had an interview scheduled labor day

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: weekend in twenty twelve, and I hung onto the job

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: for like an extra two weeks just to get the Ludacris.

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: Interview over the finish line.

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: And that day we did the interview, and then I

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: went on the radio that Sunday.

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: And quit on the radio. I love it. You never

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: told me this story. That's a dope story. And he

19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: was in Phoenix too, because I Phoenix. Yeah, pimping all

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: over the world area.

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: Codes as you would say, Yeah, you see what.

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: We did there?

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Pro anyway, Man, I'm welcome, dude. I'm glad this here.

24
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I get excited when you have the music.

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: Bug. Man, thank you man, you have so much going on. Yeah, Like,

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: I feel like you gotta love it, man, Like humbly speaking,

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: ten albums, and it feels crazy to even say that, right,

28
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: and it's just being real. There's so many people in

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: the game that you get over the sophomore jinks, even

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: if you get to the sophomore jinks. But to honestly,

31
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: it be twenty five years in the game, right to

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: have ten albums. You can hear it in my voice, man.

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: Sometimes been in the game that long, you kind of

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: got to take a break and you really got to

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: become a fan again, because this industry will mess you

36
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: up with all the you know, the business behind the

37
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: scenes and how people act and the craziness. It's like

38
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: I need one of them little men in black, like

39
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: you know the thing and where they flash you so

40
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: you could just go back. And all I'm saying is

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: that sometimes you take a break in order to kind

42
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: of revitalize yourself and really understand what you got in

43
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: it for as opposed to just putting out music.

44
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: And so I'm back at that point. Man.

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm loving I'm loving music. Loving the video aspect. I

46
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw.

47
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: It's just vintage MTV.

48
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is why we like.

49
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: I remember you were like you, and obviously before you

50
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: a bit was missy, but you were the guy who

51
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: came in the game and busted two man and just

52
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: went crazy, and we have all these iconic moments.

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: You know, we think. I appreciate that. So that's partly

54
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: why I wanted to do that pull over video the

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: way that I did it. Man, it's give that nostalgia

56
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: and you know, give you some real, real funny, crazy,

57
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: ludicrous wild visuals to go along with the brand.

58
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: It's right on brand.

59
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: I gotta ask you.

60
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: So I bought Timberland's solo album, Tim's Bio as a kid,

61
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: and Fat Rabbit was on that album.

62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: That was the first commercial success I had.

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: That ended up being on your first album too. But

64
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: that was the first song. It's like time I had

65
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: ever even heard you.

66
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, this guy's and it wasn't even

67
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: a single like it was on his album Cut, but

68
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: it was my first time being on an album. I

69
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: basically pulled it off and promoted it myself. Yeah, so

70
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: that was this crazy that you say that because that

71
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: was and that was from me working at the radio station.

72
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: Timberland came to the radio station in Atlanta and was like,

73
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: who is this kid? I heard rapping on the radio

74
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: and Shako was the manager at the time because he

75
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 2: was the music director, and I was able to give

76
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: Timberland my demo and from there that's how me getting

77
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: on this album happened. I'll tell you a crazy story

78
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: that I haven't really told anybody. I was working at

79
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: the station. I was not signed to a contract, so

80
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: they could have fired me any day. I was the

81
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: youngest person at the radio station, like eighteen seventeen, eighteen

82
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: years old. In order to go Timberland was like, I

83
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: want you to come to Virginia. This is where I'm

84
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: recording this album. But I need you to come like

85
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: on random Thursday. I was like, in my mind, I'm like, bro,

86
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: there's no way I could take off from this station.

87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: They'll fire me miss the show. I'm gonna miss the show.

88
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: So I had to tell them and God bless rest

89
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: in peace. My grandmother said, my grandmother just died. I

90
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: have to go to the funeral in New York. I

91
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: used my grandmother to go record Fat Rabbit with Timberland

92
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: in Virginia and I got off.

93
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you the amount of times I've

94
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: used my grandma. Once she had actually died.

95
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, oh man, I.

Speaker 1: dying to a lot of like citr ibo.

98
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: Man, grandma's not doing well. My grandmother would forgive me.

99
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, man, that's exactly what I did.

100
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: My rest is history. That is fire.

101
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,120

136
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: I agree.

137
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: When you watched the jay Z documentary and saw that

138
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: he had passed on it, yep, what were your thoughts, Like,

139
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I thank god he passed.

140
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: You know, it's the thing with artists. You asked any

141
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: artist a hit song that's out and they're gonna say

142
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: they passed up on the beat, like it's it happens

143
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: with every single person. So I've done that before I

144
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: got to think of what I did that on. But

145
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: when I saw it, I was just like, that's dope,

146
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: Like I actually picked and that did a song that

147
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: was going to jay Z. Because we idolized jay Z

148
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: every time I was on Death Jam. You know, he

149
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: was number one on the call sheet, as they could say.

150
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: And so when people say, you know, we had the

151
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: the hardest era of music, you really think about that.

152
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: It was me, it was jay Z, it was DMX,

153
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: it was Eminem, you know what I mean.

154
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: And it was like.

155
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: Multi platinum every single rap solo artist. And so I'm

156
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: in the category with these individuals for every award, and

157
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,680

00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: Eminem whooping my ass. Jay Z beat me in every category.

159
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: But I kept consistent and I stayed at it, and

160
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: eventually I started winning the damn Awards.

161
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if they were taking breaks.

162
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if I just got right, you know,

163
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: the right time in after year five or six.

164
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: But after that, it was all the way up.

165
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: Do you remember a time like, do you remember any

166
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: records you passed on her hooks or anything where you

167
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: were like, oh.

168
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: Damn, you know what's crazy? Go girl, it's your birthday.

169
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: Open one man. Trey Songs, I think I was. I

170
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: was supposed to get on that record, and I don't

171
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: remember exactly what happened, but I messed that up for

172
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: some reason.

173
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if I was too big.

174
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: Like that was the era where Trey Songs.

175
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: There was like three or four artists that were just

176
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: doing hooksher records, and it was like Trey.

177
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: Songs was brutal mars that went on to be a

178
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: hit song, and it was supposed to happen like that.

179
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: Fabulous killed the verse. I'm one of those people like

180
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: I don't really resent or regret anything. It's more of

181
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: everything happens the way that they're supposed to. So salute

182
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: to Trey and Fabulous for making that a hit record. Man.

183
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: She immediately come in the game.

184
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: You've already worked with timbaland, you already got the Timbo

185
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 1: Co sign. Your breakout first record on the debut album

186
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: of Southern Hospitality, which is a phar real beat which

187
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: is a Neptune's beat what like in the heyday of

188
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the Neptunes era. That's pretty early in the Neptune.

189
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: It was early. That was the last song that I

190
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: recorded for the album.

191
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: We had to turn the album in like in like

192
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: a day, and I remember going to Virginia again.

193
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: We went to Virginia. It was me and Shaka.

194
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: Something the water out there by the way. Oh absolutely,

195
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: Pharrell put on that beat. I was like, I kind

196
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: of like it. I go, I go in the damn

197
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: car and I'll just write within like I'd say, forty

198
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: five minutes wrote all verses, go back in there, spit it,

199
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: and Shaka and Pharrell are going crazy, this is it.

200
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: This is the one. I'm just sitting there like it's cool,

201
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: Like Oden bowls in there.

202
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking it's cool.

203
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: So the answer to to towards that point, I did

204
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: not realize Southern Hospitality, the Throat and Bow's record was

205
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: the record that everyone realizes it is today. I did

206
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: not know it was a hit. I just thought it

207
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: was another album cut. Well that was that. I was

208
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: actually the second single, was it? What's Your Fantasy? Was

209
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: the first thing? Fantasy was the first. Yeah, crazy man. Yeah,

210
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: what a time, dude. Listen man, history, what is that?

211
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: In two thousand, two.

212
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: Thousand, So incog Negro album came out in nineteen ninety nine,

213
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: I was and that was the end of record. I

214
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: was the independent record So technically I got ten albums

215
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: out now, but that was the independent one that I

216
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 2: sold on my own. I sold fifty thousand copies at

217
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: seven dollars a pop, so I had a three hundred

218
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars check before I was twenty one

219
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: years old.

220
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: While you're on the radio, right, while I'm on the radio,

221
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: does your PD have any problems with you? Like I

222
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: always wondered, like the og radio stories like you're cracking

223
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: in the city.

224
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, is your PD getting nervous that.

225
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: You might leave?

226
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: Or is That was the thing? Man?

227
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: The thing is that they never signed me to a contract.

228
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: They were at they were tripping when I left, but

229
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: they didn't know it was gonna happen.

230
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: So this song is blowing up.

231
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: One of the greatest days of my life is signing

232
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: my deaf Jam contract knowing I'm about to get a

233
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: seven figure check. While I was on the air, while

234
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 2: commercials are playing, you got like a seven minute timeframe. Yep,

235
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: somebody brought me my contract. Got you know, my lawyer

236
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: had already read it over. I'm signing it and just

237
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: smiling to myself, like, Okay, after this shift, I'm gonna go,

238
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna say I'm putting my two weeks in

239
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: and I'm out of here, and it's still all love

240
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: at the station. But to answer again towards your point,

241
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: they did not sign me to a contract, so they

242
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: have me every day feeling like I could get fired, right,

243
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 2: And I was naive, you know what I mean. I

244
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: didn't know the business like that. I was the youngest

245
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: person at the station. I was just happy to be there.

246
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: You get to be on the damn station. You get

247
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: to go do clubs. I'm getting cash I got. I'm

248
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: like wilding out here in these streets. Sure, I was

249
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: having a great time.

250
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Was there any like once you left? Did the station

251
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: hold it against you a little? Did it take them

252
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: a while?

253
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: No?

254
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: They could embrace you.

255
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. They could not hold it against me.

256
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: Everyone at this station had a contract for at least

257
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: a year, right, but me, And they're like, well.

258
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Chris left, so I don't know if we're gonna be

259
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: the first to play his.

260
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: Song now, Yeah, And it was the young thing. It

261
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: was me and Pooon Daddy, and like I said, we

262
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: were the youngest up at the station. So I think

263
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: they just they felt like I needed it, and then

264
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: they realized later that I didn't.

265

296
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: which Scarface is the president of. Yes, so there's like

297
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: this idea of deaf Jam South. It's like this new thing.

298
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: And back then you would hear like death Row East

299
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: or like yeah, you know what I mean? Was it

300
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: who was like the was it Scarface that initially reached out?

301
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Like what was that whole process like getting in again?

302
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin Lyles and Scarface reached out at the same time.

303
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: But that's another good question because as the as the

304
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: song is blowing up, I'm starting to get calls from

305
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: different all the different record companies. Literally I went to Electra,

306
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: I went to Atlantic, I went to Sown and that

307
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: just kind of you know, sitting me down, taking me

308
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: through the office. This is gonna be a CEO. This

309
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: is what we're gonna do for you that radio. And

310
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: then I went to death Jam. They weren't even offering

311
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: the most upfront money, but it was just something about

312
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: death Jam with Kevin Lyles, with scar especially at that

313
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: time that time. But here's the thing, though, I was

314
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: the first artist from the South signed to Death Jam.

315
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: They had nothing but a whole bunch of mostly New

316
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 2: York artists. So there was a time where we were like,

317
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: is this going to work? Should we even do this?

318
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: Because do they know how to work a Southern artist?

319
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, it looks good now because it eventually worked out,

320
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 2: but at the time we were still risk. I took

321
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: a risk, but my heart and my spirit told me

322
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 2: that's where I needed to be. Plus ll Cool Jay

323
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: is my hero. He's kind of who inspired me want

324
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: to rap in the first place. He was the first

325
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: rap artist signed to.

326
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: We're like, Yo, I'm gonna be the first Southern artist.

327
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: That's what make it happen.

328
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: That's it.

329
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you saw, but twenty five

330
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: year anniversary, we just did a show in Atlanta called

331
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: One Music Fest. My management surprised me and had LL

332
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: cool J come out. I got the rap with LL

333
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: cool J on stage.

334
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Oh, that was the first rapper I ever met as

335
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: a kid or super nice.

336
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was a jewelry store in Arizona. It was cool.

337
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: I had all world.

338
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I had him sign it. I mean the greatest. Yeah,

339
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: shout out to l So he was cool though, Yeah,

340
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: super cool.

341
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah man, that's that's just how he is. Man.

342
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: You gotta love it.

343
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: I always wonder when you are in the studio making

344
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: the song, like, ho, this is one of my favorite songs.

345
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: It's such a brilliant song.

346
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: Then somebody else just as this.

347
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead, but just like what is the

348
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: like like like what is the inspiration behind you writing

349
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: the song?

350
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: And like what is the vibe?

351
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Because no one has written the whole like you really

352
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: broke down that term right in a very crazy like way, great,

353
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: great question.

354
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: Like I was telling you, I was at the radio

355
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: station at that time, even when I wrote that record,

356
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: So I was wild in the studio at the station

357
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: sometimes doing that sometimes too, but just just living it

358
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: and knowing about, you know, being promiscuous in these streets.

359
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: But I also am a fan of comedy. I'm a

360
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: fan of We were just talking about like silly television,

361
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: so silly ass movies. You know. Coming to America is

362
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: one of my favorite movies. And this is the end.

363
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: It's crazy stupid shit like that. When you incorporate comedy

364
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: and stand up comedy, and you incorporate me being a

365
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: hip hop fan, and you incorporate all of these things together.

366
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: To answer your question about how I come up with

367
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: that stuff? Where us a whole, It's just combining all

368
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,239
Speaker 2: of those elements. That's what makes Ludacris Ludacris.

369
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: What is Scarface's reaction to hearing Hope for the first time?

370
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I just got to I wonder what he's like. Does

371
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: he got any notice?

372
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: Psyche? So Scarface is one of the greatest rappers of

373
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: our time in terms of storytelling, he is one of

374
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: those So when he heard that record, you could tell

375
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: that he knew I had a little bit of ghetto

376
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: boys in Scarface DNA, but I just added my Ludacris

377
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: element to it. So I think that he was proud.

378
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: He was a proud man. It's just proud because he

379
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: sees me doing something than unique and doing it of

380
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: my own. And by the way, I come from a

381
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: background of loving like Red Man was was one of

382
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: the artists that I really loved, and he kind of

383
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: had that kind of comedic element. So you think about that,

384
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: I am the summation of a lot, all of it,

385
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: of all of it. Yeah, common common Sense is one

386
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: of my favorites. Red Man, one of my favorites. Snoop

387
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: Dogg of course, who I got to work with. I

388
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: got to work with all of my heroes.

389
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: Man, you you kind of spike the whole sophomore slump

390
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: thing out of the park with Word of Mouth.

391
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: Is you know a classic album? Yeah?

392
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Also the first album I could remember that had a

393
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: hidden track where you had to get through block on

394
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: lockdown at the because at the end of it was

395
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: like the one to Atlanta remix, but it was like

396
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: two minutes of silence before it kicked in.

397
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: He just reminded me about that we gotta bring well,

398
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: I guess we can't bring that back. Yeah, Like if

399
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: you play stream a song and it's at the end

400
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: of that song, but there was all.

401
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: The silence at the end, So like I remember, I

402
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: would have my CD player and I'd be having a

403
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: fast far fucker to get to the Walk by the Ways,

404
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: one of my favorite records that is Block on Lockdown.

405
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: That's my shit.

406
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: I appreciate that.

407
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: Man, You're gonna make me go back and listen to it,

408
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: but no, like for you, man, Like I just remember

409
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: like Rollout coming out in the video, and it just

410
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: felt like as much as like your first album was

411
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: like you arriving, it felt like, oh, this motherfucker's start coming.

412
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: Out another great story. This is how you know bouleg

413
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: kV is good at what he does. He asks questions

414
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: that invoke memories that I don't even know that nobody

415
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 2: else asked. So roll Out video before picture it without

416
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: the big head like without the post effects. We at

417
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: death Jam in my disturbing the piece. We shot this

418
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: video and we could not figure out what made it special.

419
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: Everybody was like this videos trash, it's nothing. It's literally

420
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: nothing going on here. When we decided to add the

421
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: element of the big head. It took it from we're

422
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: about to trash this video too. This is one of

423
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: the best videos that's gonna last and stay ever in

424
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: people's brains forever. Yeah, so I just had to bring you,

425
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: just brought back that memory that before we had the

426
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: big Heir roll out video, was he was gonna trash it. Yeah,

427
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: it was bad, that's crazy.

428
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: It was nothing. It was nothing.

429
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: It was it to and who did it?

430
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Because that's that's something like ahead of the time of

431
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: editing there.

432
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what I want to say. I don't

433
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't remember the director. We gotta look that up,

434
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: but I just remember like the storyline and none of this,

435
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: none of it made any sense. And he was just

436
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: like I said, it's big ass head to it and

437
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden it make because it's Ludacris.

438
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh, that album has area codes, it's got Saturdays on it,

439
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: it's got move Bitch on it, yeap, move Bitch all time,

440
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: Caucasian rap song, whatever wedding you're at, whatever fucking it

441
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: could be fifty five year old white people.

442
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: They play move Bitch and they sing that ship when

443
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: I perform that record, it's a it's a crime because

444
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: I hold the mic out to the crowd. They paid

445
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: to see me. I don't have to do a damn thing.

446
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: I it's a crime.

447
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Well, that was the era too, where songs would get

448
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: banned in the club.

449
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: Will You'd be like, like, yo, there'd.

450

00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: It'd be like knuck if you buck, that's right, move

452
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: like I feel like. Move Bitch was kind of one

453
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: of those.

454
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Records people will get killed. Bro, You're a thousand percent right.

456
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: because fights breakout. Obviously. It was one of those. It

00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: is great. So when you go to Vegas, you get

470
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: into that cab, you get into that uber immediately say

471
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: take me to Hardean.

472
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: Don't know what they're doing, all right?

473
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 1: They go get you right, all right, the number one

474
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: premium cannabis dispensary in the world. They just got me right.

475
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: I was just in town for Raffi's birthday.

476
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: Had to pull up. Get right, this.

477
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: Nice little one on one Hardean jersey.

478
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: These are not available, all right?

479
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Shot to them, man, all right, salute to the family.

480
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: Follow him on Instagram. Hardean Underscore Las Vegas. Sorry, let's

481
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: get back to the podcast. What was like for you man?

482
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: Like DTP has this historical roster of artists. I mean,

483
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: you're you're part of so many people's careers. Back then,

484
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: it felt like the like rapper owning a label thing

485
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: could go one of two ways, Like you could have

486
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: a label and just sign your homies and like hope

487
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: for the best. But I feel like you and Shaka

488
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: were signing artist and like the goal was like for

489
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: them to be bigger than you. You wouldn't mind that

490
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: because I remember CHENI was on Dog Got the Double

491
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: XL with Chini on the cover.

492
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 2: Over there on the table. Jingy sold more records than

493
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: me on that Jackpie record on the album I think

494
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: it was called Jackpot and I had chicken and beer out.

495
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: I sold like three million, he had like three and

496
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: a half. Yeah, he went crazy. It was always the

497
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: goal to sign artists that were gonna be bigger than me.

498
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: You know, Bobby v you know, went platinum, Shauna had,

499
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: Shauna had a record, so it's like, like, man, come on, man,

500
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 2: like that was the goal. We had artists, and all

501
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 2: of these artists performed with me on the twenty five year.

502
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: Can you tell me I'm a kid from Phoenix?

503
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? What do you think went wrong with the Willy

504
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: north Pole project? The Connect?

505
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: Because I bought like ten copies of that shit?

506
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 2: Man, I don't even know.

507
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'd answer that question because I.

508
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 2: Love Willie north Pole, great guy, phenomenal, no album, you

509
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: know what.

510
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: He had the Hood Dreaming record with Bob, but it

511
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: was damn near like nine months too early before Bob,

512
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: like really.

513
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: Cracky, and some of that might be timing, and some

514
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: of it might be we believe in the artist is

515
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: disturbing the piece, but ultimately deaf Jam has to distribute

516
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 2: it and they have to put the money behind it

517
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: as well. And so sometimes what our vision is deaf

518
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: Jam doesn't match the vision of what we're trying to do.

519
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: So I would probably say it was a combination of

520
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: those things.

521
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: Can you tell me what's Nate Dog like?

522
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: Man?

523
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Nate's one of those guys who.

524
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: The chillest man, the coolest dude on earth. May he

525
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: rest in peace. I'm the biggest Nate dog fan. I'm

526
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: so glad I got a chance to work with him

527
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: numerous times. But I'll tell you, man just laid back

528
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: all about his work. Smoke, get high as hell, write

529
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: the verse, you know, write the right his.

530
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: Hooks, lay it down and go chill. Some more like us.

531
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: He just chill.

532
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: Do you give him the concept for area codes? And

533
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: does he come up with the hook or I think I.

534
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: Think we did.

535
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: Me and Jazzy Fay did that, and we was exactly

536
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: because of the verses were already done, so we knew

537
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: it was gonna be called area codes. But the way

538
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: that he broke it down. It was just like he

539
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: accentuated it.

540
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Are you guys in with him? Or is it something

541
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: he sent over?

542
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: Like, because no, he was in there with him. I

543
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: brought I came here to La and worked with him,

544
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: and then I got on a record of his where

545
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: I had one of my favorite rap lines. I said

546
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: something about you got a frog in your throat like

547
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: miss Piggy given head or something like that. Crazy, but

548
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: it was on his record. But yeah, man, fun times,

549
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: all fun times. Did anybody feel like you left it? Like?

550
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: What was the area code you felt like you left out?

551
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: The Mostly you would get feedback from the fans.

552
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 3: I got a lot of feedback.

553
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: I want to say Hawaii was mad as hell. I

554
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: don't know if I said anyway, but it was definitely

555
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: a couple of area codes that were extremely.

556
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: Pissed that I left him out.

557
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: Can you tell me? Like I was, Like, I was like,

558
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I didn't have ose there at the time,

559
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: Like I can be mad at me. The songs called

560
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: hose in different area codes. For sure, I need ose there, Okay,

561
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: Like when do.

562
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: You kind of know it's time? Like like obviously we

563
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: talked earlier, like when you get the itch to kind

564
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: of like like I guess, kind of get remotivated, but

565
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: it feels like you're really like super locked in. Is

566
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: when did when? When is it time for you to

567
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, are you putting movie stuff to the

568
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: side while you're in music mode or you're still trying

569
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: to do both?

570
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: Can you do both?

571
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: Good question?

572
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: John Singleton may have me try out for Too Fast,

573
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: Too Furious. I was on tour with eminem at the time. Man,

574
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: I had to disturbing the Peace tour. Yeah, exactly, that was.

575
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: What Anger management.

576
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: I went to that tour. I think was Papa Roach

577
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: on that tour, I think, so, yeah, I was.

578
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: I went great memory, I snuck backstage. Exhibit was on

579
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: that tour, so it was King t and uh No

580
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: Sofa Sofia was on the tour.

581
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: So anyway, I was backstage and I had to put

582
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: these lines on tape to uh to send to John

583
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 2: Singleton and I got the part. And it's crazy that

584
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: you say that because I was always in the not

585
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: like I'm not trying to do both at the same time.

586
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: Because if I if I'm acting, I want to put

587
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: one hundred percent into the acting. If I'm doing music.

588
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: I want to put one hundred percent into it. I'm

589
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: not trying to convolute this and water it down. So

590
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: as long as you use your time wisely when you're shooting,

591
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: you shooting. As soon as you've done with that, man,

592
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 2: you go right back to the music. And that's what

593
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: I did for years, yeah, and still doing. At this point,

594
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: we're supposed to shoot one more fast you know, the finale, finale,

595
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: because the last one was open ended. So I've been

596
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: in seven Fast and Furious movies, believe it or not.

597
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: So is the next one for sure the final one?

598
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 3: You think final one? I feel like yes for us.

599
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 2: I feel like, just like Jurassic Park, I don't think

600
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: they'll ever get rid of.

601
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: I just feel like, eventually you guys are gonna end

602
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: up in a time machine and they'll be a fastening

603
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: Furious in the twenties and you guys are gonna be

604
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: racing fucking buggies and like, yeah, I just feel like, yo, motherfucker's.

605
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 2: Been to space.

606
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: Yeh, that's what I'm saying.

607
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for, like like a Michael Myers Jason Voorh

608
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: He's like introduction it, like yo, look in the next

609
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Fast and furious. We're merging a bunch of different univers.

610
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: And all of that is like the original cast, or

611
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: can I say the cast over these last ten we've

612
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: had a hell of a run. For sure. I feel

613
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: like they'll bring it back and it'll probably be a new,

614
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: younger cast at some.

615
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Point, almost like I reset the whole ship.

616
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 3: I think they're going to reset it.

617
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: I think I think too fast my favorite one, really,

618
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: I stopped watching listen five. I gotta be honest with you.

619
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: Five is the last one I've.

620
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: Watched five and five is not your favorite, the one

621
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: with the rock in something.

622
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: About the Tyres introduction. I just liked it. I don't know,

623
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: I just it still felt realistic.

624
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,600

651
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: Nas and jay Z are getting on the song?

652
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely because I got Nas on there first and jay

653
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: Z was the president of Death Jam at the time,

654
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: and I asked to get on there and he was like,

655
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: he kept it for a little while, he didn't say

656
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: yes right away, and then he just sent me to verse.

657
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 2: I was like, I got one, were you like?

658
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it for that time.

659
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: And yo crazy, that's like I think that's only the

660
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: second time they because I think did the Black Republican

661
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: record on.

662
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: The NAS album absolutely and it was a DJ Premier beat,

663
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 2: So I kind of knew it's hard for them to

664
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: turn down the DJ Premiere, but they both work with

665
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: Premiere numerous times. What better way to get NAS and

666
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: jay Z on a song than to get the DJ

667
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: Premiere to produce it.

668
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: You have been known to hop on other people's songs

669
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: and steal the show. What is the time someone's hopped

670
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: on one of your records where you feel like they

671
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: got the better of you?

672
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: Man? I always tell people this, man Shauna as an artist, like,

673
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: I always had to watch myself, Like I knew she

674
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 2: was gonna get on the records, like spitting fast and

675
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 2: like and having lyrics and annunciation. I always was like,

676
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: I gotta watch Shawna. So I feel like I can't.

677
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: I don't.

678
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: I got to think of a specific record, but Shawna

679
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: just femail wise one of the.

680
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I always say she's one of those left on rappers

681
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: ever crazy.

682
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: But I got to think about it.

683
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: I got to think about when somebody came on my

684
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: record and absolutely annihilated it or annihilated me. I feel

685
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: like it's arguable if somebody, I feel like it. I

686
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 2: feel like you've done that a lot were you like

687
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: you steal the show. I appreciate that for sure.

688
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: When you end up on this Justin Bieber baby song,

689
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: obviously Justin Bieber hughes at the time, but he's not,

690
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: but like well like on you like there was like

691
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: a buzz on YouTube like street folks like, but this

692
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: is the song that like breaks him for show like

693
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: baby is the first joint. Yeah, And you're like, like,

694
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: how does that because because at that time, you're kind

695
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: of you're you're kind of in the Hollywood space a

696
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: little like.

697
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: A little bit, but still you still have people wondering

698
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 2: why I would do a song with like a thirteen

699
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: year old kid, right, So, you know, I got a

700
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: lot of backlash. And it's funny because right after I

701
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: didn't embrace them, the entire hip hop community has embraced

702
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: Justin Bieber and the then you know, next thing, you know,

703
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: he continues to ascend and he's he has this community

704
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: and has this community, and he all of.

705
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: A sudden has everyone.

706
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I was like, I never went off of

707
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: someone's age or you know, like someone's race. I always

708
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: go off of when I listen to the song if

709
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: I feel it in my heart. And now when I

710
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: listen to that song, I knew it was a hit record.

711
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: And I just stepped on there and just talked from

712
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: my point of view of when I was that age

713
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: and next thing, you know, the rest is history.

714
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that, like like I feel like

715
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: when you get on certain like records in of that

716
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,360

766
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: and the things that people really want from me, rapping fast,

767
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: rapping slow, the versatility. I feel like when it all

768
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: goes down, I want to be remembered as the one

769
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 2: of the ones that had the multi faceted it approach,

770
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: like I could do anything. MVP that was another record

771
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,800

772
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,200

773
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: to talk about lyrics, you want to talk about features,

774
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: you want to talk about.

775
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: Anything hip hop.

776
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: When you put all of those things together, the summation

777
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: of all Ludacris, all categories, that's what this is. Yeah.

Speaker 1: But do you feel like because you're ludicrous and you

782
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: are you have so much personality? I feel like it

783
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: happens sometimes with Buster and Rymes. Buster and Rhymes is

784
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: one of the greatest of all time. Yeah, but I

785
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes when you have so much personality on records,

786
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: like I feel like you overlook you get overlooked in

787
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: those conversations.

788
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: Thousand percent, and it's like kind of an underdog. But

789
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, man, I wouldn't have

790
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: any the other way, because that's also what makes me

791
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: unique and makes me stand out, is having that type

792
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: of personality. And it always has me keeping that I

793
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: have something to prove, and I like the essence of

794
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: always having something to prove. I'm not gonna lie to you.

795
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: That's what keeps me going. So that competitive nature is

796
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it, and like I feel

797
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: like it's just you've had this run as like as

798
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:24,960

00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: So Yo, I remember the first movie that I saw

845
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: you in was Crash, which is a fucking crazy movie.

846
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: They won an Oscar Man Wild Movies.

847
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: That was that your first first movie?

848
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: Or was it Too Fast?

849
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 3: Was the first movie? I was in the wash before that?

850
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: Shout out to DJ Pooh Wash, Yeah, I made an

851
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: appearance a great yeah with doctor Dre Shout So then

852
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: Too Fast, Too Perious, and then Crash was the was

853
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: the third one, and everybody did that movie. You see

854
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: all those A list actors, We all took like less

855
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: pay because it was an independent album. The cast was

856
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: insane and there was no budget for the movie, so

857
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: everybody agreed to take money on the back end and

858
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: it ended up winning an Oscar. So everybody made the

859
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: right decision. And that's where I met Lorenz Tate, that's

860
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 2: one of my best friends. Crazy.

861
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you feel like do you feel like that?

862
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: That was like the movie that kind of like really

863
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: because that's a serious movie. That's like that's when I

864
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: think Motherfuckers was like, Yo, Ludacris could act.

865
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: That's what. That's literally what made me kind of cross

866
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: over because at that time, if you will remember, it

867
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: was a lot of actors pissed that anybody in the

868
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: music industry or rappers got an opportunity just because they

869
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 2: were rappers to get a roll. So we were beating

870
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: out a lot of actors that have done this for

871
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: all their lives and getting rolls. And so when I

872
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: did Crash, it was like Okay, I'm accepted into this

873
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: acting community. They're not mad that I just was a

874
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: rapper that got an opportunity.

875
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: I always wonder because you're one of the guys we

876
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: always hear we're in La. You know, there's all this

877
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: conversation about like when La hip hop ran shit, which

878
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: was the nineties with Snoop and Dre and Tupac, and

879
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: then you know, obviously the East Coast had it before then,

880
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: but there's this like Atlanta run that has been happening

881
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: for the last twenty five years.

882
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: It hasn't stopped.

883
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: It hasn't stopped. But you're kind of like you're like

884
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the first in the first.

885
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: Batch outcast man.

886
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm talking about outcast was like outcast was

887
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: a thing obviously.

888
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:07,879

Speaker 3: Yeah, well solo artists absolutely, But I mean just.

890
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: In terms of like I think of like you guys

891
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: running ship kind of sonically, it was like kind of

892
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: the beginning was like welcome to Atlanta, and then that

893
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: moved into like Little John and the crunk era, and

894
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: then the ship just hasn't stopped obviously the future.

895
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: But like you, honestly just you just messed me up

896
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: right there because I'm so humble. I try not to

897
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,799

931
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta artists. And then it kind of pivots into like

932
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: the Trap era, which is like obviously Tip and Gez

933
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: and all that was what was it like kind of

934
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,400
