Speaker 1: Tell you how my nose were bro Like Pio, We're
Speaker 1: gonna tell you the truth and nothing but the truth.
Speaker 1: We like to welcome every one to another episode against
Speaker 1: the Chronicles podcast I'm with my dog man is that?
Speaker 1: And tonight we had one of our I like to
Speaker 1: say a friend of the show, one of the most
Speaker 1: legendary lyricists of our time, the narrator nigger are real
Speaker 1: to the motherfucker's used up? Man, You do know that? So, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're here to support the Homagon. Yeah, yeah, we're kind
Speaker 1: of kicking this off. Man. We probably had the coldest
Speaker 1: motherfucking interview that never came out every dog because the
Speaker 1: sound got funked up and everything over at the Homies creatives.
Speaker 1: They had that with the ambiance, the so called ambiance
Speaker 1: was was right. We had the fire cracking in the
Speaker 1: back worked over the sound and says, you know, but
Speaker 1: you know, the Almighty you don't never make mistakes me
Speaker 1: in it. He said something Bobby about that maybe it
Speaker 1: was a vibe or something that somebody else that would
Speaker 1: a seen it and took it the wrong way. Well maybe,
Speaker 1: and you never know, but All Mighty was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't get the combis on this, y'all gonna tie
Speaker 1: it again. Y'all keep on practice to perfect the craft.
Speaker 1: But I see what you're doing, but not this one.
Speaker 1: The statical Yeah for sure, man, I know you about
Speaker 1: a happy motherfucker right now. Although why because some of
Speaker 1: them classic albums about to start hitting them DSPs pretty soon. Yeah. Bro,
Speaker 1: we don't get all excited cause you know, if you've
Speaker 1: been on the roller coaster ride it I've been through
Speaker 1: from death frow ain't no excitement. I believe it when
Speaker 1: they when they when they go ahead and circles and
Speaker 1: come back down their lands on earth with all ten
Speaker 1: toes on the earth, And that's when it matters. You know.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of here saying objection and speculations and
Speaker 1: YadA yadas and whatnot. Um are you but are you
Speaker 1: waiting for that? Like a lot of us, a lot
Speaker 1: of us. Everybody been hitting you know, I've been. I've
Speaker 1: been getting the emails, you know, from lawyers and everybody
Speaker 1: we can we can send there, you know, the cease
Speaker 1: and desist letters and all that. While they're coming out
Speaker 1: the woodworks, right, they're coming out the woodworks on me too.
Speaker 1: But I have been telling people since a long time ago,
Speaker 1: I was telling casting day win when castors like actually
Speaker 1: change at when I was kind of doing bad, when
Speaker 1: I was putting my CDs on the block, and you
Speaker 1: know Nicks was talking. I mean he was wrong with that.
Speaker 1: Ni Ninka the got over on him. In all honesty,
Speaker 1: they didn't. I didn't sell my publish it. That's why
Speaker 1: I was one of the number one enemies. He said,
Speaker 1: no publishing. They okay, well, we can't eat off the
Speaker 1: X because he didn't give us no did in the publishing,
Speaker 1: So were not put him on this just just din
Speaker 1: that that's would happen. So let's elaborate a little bit, man,
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, we're talking to a lot
Speaker 1: of people that don't know how to music in the
Speaker 1: street really functionous for y'all that don't know, you're publishing
Speaker 1: is your writer's portion of the song. That's your mailbox,
Speaker 1: that's your actual inflection property, that's how you live and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But when when you want to get groceries,
Speaker 1: you want a hamburger without it is probably gonna come
Speaker 1: out one of those texts that come to the mailbox.
Speaker 1: You know, Um, a lot of cats don't know when
Speaker 1: they get into the game like I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: had a home girl that taught me a few things.
Speaker 1: She was like, don't be giving up this, don't do that,
Speaker 1: don't do that, and don't sign this paperwork. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: so that's what's up in in in in certain situations,
Speaker 1: I think I was more than naive and stubborn than
Speaker 1: than actually knowing what was going on, because I just
Speaker 1: felt in my heart of hearts, like, honey, if I
Speaker 1: make that skateboard and put the wheels on it, that's
Speaker 1: my skateboard. So if you come down you're talking about
Speaker 1: you want to swoopie my hoopie, where you gotta get
Speaker 1: permission from me? I made that skateboard? How many And
Speaker 1: I've had the same thing about the right now? How long?
Speaker 1: Why am I gonna give you all the money for
Speaker 1: the stuff that I wrote? And then when when when
Speaker 1: Cast was giving me their logic on that, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: making sense. Also, it's you know, that's how it's done.
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's how it's done. Where the this Yeah,
Speaker 1: dah dah, this is this is the road. I ain't
Speaker 1: to put nobody I having to say that, but it
Speaker 1: was the role and it was like, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: you got to play the role. You gotta get a
Speaker 1: role you're publishing, and I'm like, well, a lot of
Speaker 1: I never I never agreed to that. I think the
Speaker 1: error from music from day one with labels and artists
Speaker 1: and whatever. Labels always sought after securing your publishing give
Speaker 1: me uh. It was another way for them to ship,
Speaker 1: you know. So uh, I think it was every label's
Speaker 1: approach as far as signing an artist to try to
Speaker 1: secure their publishing because that's that long, withstanding money, and
Speaker 1: you know, I think everybody went through that that. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of a lot of published and never
Speaker 1: it was a thing. Taking your publishing was a thing.
Speaker 1: So did you face a lot of resistance by not
Speaker 1: giving up your publisher? Yeah, I faced a lot of
Speaker 1: resistance because everybody was like X you know when he
Speaker 1: was hearing all the nascy ship about me and you,
Speaker 1: that was done. So um, I wouldn't be out there
Speaker 1: doing my own thing, gloating and flossing in front of
Speaker 1: him with the change that I'm getting off my because
Speaker 1: I don't have to give mind to this this cat
Speaker 1: mm hmm. Be honest with you. When Dre and mad it,
Speaker 1: I would say Dre had just got like I think
Speaker 1: it was like a she wok. Had Win brought up
Speaker 1: two door black joint and Dray had the brown joint,
Speaker 1: yet speakers all down it side of that joint. Stupid.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I made a couple of moves.
Speaker 1: I ran, they got me one. This was about years
Speaker 1: before none of the homies were starting to see their money.
Speaker 1: And the only reason I was able to do that
Speaker 1: because I didn't give it up. I was like nine
Speaker 1: not you know, and um, I made told some people
Speaker 1: we can we can speak and they think they was like, well,
Speaker 1: can I get a percentage of it? And then I
Speaker 1: started thinking that might be feasible. But once you start that,
Speaker 1: despite um, it's all bad. Once you get somebody in
Speaker 1: the door, now they're in your house. I ain't giving
Speaker 1: them no publicy because now you gotta wait until they contract,
Speaker 1: until you think, until they think that the terms have
Speaker 1: been uh sufficient, and you go your way and they
Speaker 1: go their way. They're gonna be in your mix for flapping.
Speaker 1: But what's going on with the catalog right now, with
Speaker 1: the whole because this we're talking this specific. You know
Speaker 1: the chronic catalog, man, Well, the chronic right now is
Speaker 1: uh at interscope from what I'm hearing, and um, by
Speaker 1: all accounts, they're striving to get things one huntry with
Speaker 1: all the individuals like they want all the various entities
Speaker 1: about it there. Now you know where it was at.
Speaker 1: It was some people that had their hands in the
Speaker 1: cookie jar. Well when they got pulled down, there was
Speaker 1: no longer were able to and they ain't had the
Speaker 1: power to put it that. They were just some entities,
Speaker 1: you know. I know for a fact when we was
Speaker 1: writing that joint, it was only it was only three,
Speaker 1: it was only three folks in the building, great Snooping myself.
Speaker 1: Then we go look at it and it's time to
Speaker 1: get paid. It's about eight writers on there, and surely
Speaker 1: you're gonna have uh people getting paid or writers for
Speaker 1: the sample m hm, you know what I mean, but
Speaker 1: for the actual writing. And that was me and Snoop
Speaker 1: that they credit you for writing. So you do you
Speaker 1: have do you have songs that's ready to get me right?
Speaker 1: Let me right? So it has anybody contacted you want
Speaker 1: to do stuff about you know that's gonna come up
Speaker 1: to date and what's your ownership percentage and all of that.
Speaker 1: So you wrote twelve, twelve point five twelve. Yeah, I'm all.
Speaker 1: My tenant knows. It's just that it's just that this
Speaker 1: situation has been going on for a while, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's like Charlotte's where you're not and when you're
Speaker 1: going into inscribing and make it correct, you can't just
Speaker 1: going there. And I mean, and you got all, like
Speaker 1: I said before, the nefarious entities that but they convoluted
Speaker 1: in weird ways when they was on their way out,
Speaker 1: they put their little combos shones. They're not gonna make
Speaker 1: it easy for nobody coming after them. So the people
Speaker 1: that comes after them, it's not gonna be no five
Speaker 1: or ten people. You're gonna have to get a whole
Speaker 1: crew to come in and and and and administrate this
Speaker 1: whole mess because it's still a real valuable it's the
Speaker 1: West valuable. But you gotta get it right. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what what this is. Dray's baby, So Drey,
Speaker 1: So just so I got this clear, and we know
Speaker 1: out here spreading no false and from Dre has the
Speaker 1: rights to the chronic He brought the rights back. That's
Speaker 1: his album now, right, It's always been at album as
Speaker 1: far as i'm concerned. But yeah, that's the word, you know.
Speaker 1: And the reason I'm saying that it's because because you
Speaker 1: can now pull it up on streets, right, and that
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying. It couldn't listen my folks, And
Speaker 1: now I'm striving like Spotify or it was, it was gone.
Speaker 1: You could never listen to any of it in My
Speaker 1: bottom line was crushed because of that. Like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep it a buck like you know, I go out
Speaker 1: to do my little hustling thing and that's all good.
Speaker 1: But the main state and the bread and the butter
Speaker 1: was was my chronic stuff you did. So he was
Speaker 1: making a nice piece of money off that. Right when
Speaker 1: you get the message with my bread and butter, it's
Speaker 1: a problem. But then I understood why I didn't at first.
Speaker 1: Then one of my cats called me, was like, halm down,
Speaker 1: going to bite the bullet. They had to get everything
Speaker 1: right here to get the ministration right. We strive. We're
Speaker 1: striving to do that now. So it wouldn't believe they
Speaker 1: ain't know. It ain't nothing that my folks did bad.
Speaker 1: It ain't nothing nobody did tideways were usually. It ain't
Speaker 1: something that they usually. It ain't people all the time
Speaker 1: trying to be fine, and sometimes it's just people not
Speaker 1: having to throw understanding of the business of what's going on. Yeah, now,
Speaker 1: it's just not because a lot of us just got
Speaker 1: into the business blind, like a mother a mother to
Speaker 1: be able to just go into the studio or make
Speaker 1: a mother's Remember, the content was popping just to go
Speaker 1: and they were finding that auts like I'm getting fits.
Speaker 1: I mean, really wasn't too knowledgeable back in the day
Speaker 1: and all that show. You know, it was just young
Speaker 1: cats who was trying to look to get in the
Speaker 1: studio and trying to make and out of the motherfucker situation.
Speaker 1: And if my home girl had not said don't give
Speaker 1: it up, who knows what would happen. But she said,
Speaker 1: whatever you do, don't sell nobody you're publishing. I said no,
Speaker 1: she said, now that's your money. You don't need that.
Speaker 1: I said, well, so when Cats came at me in
Speaker 1: a way, twisted kind of way, that really put the
Speaker 1: red flags up, like you know how that go, like
Speaker 1: like okay, nigger, I don't like the way that went
Speaker 1: down there. You definitely ain't getting ship. That's what happened
Speaker 1: because you never after the chronic you wouldn't sign with
Speaker 1: Drey aftermath when he left right and then you left
Speaker 1: Drey and you went on you because I remember you
Speaker 1: was on the attack for a minute. For for a
Speaker 1: little hot second you were throwing some darts. Um, not really.
Speaker 1: I would just always be in the m C. We
Speaker 1: was always that's the camp we came in. You did. Um,
Speaker 1: you always had to be on toes. But with any MC.
Speaker 1: So if you just felt like it was, it was yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was funny competition. It was like the way things
Speaker 1: like if I paid football, but we were playing football,
Speaker 1: and and I paid for Pittsburgh and you played for
Speaker 1: whoever you played for, and you was running the rock.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to knock your face off, Homy. But
Speaker 1: after the game is over, when I see you at
Speaker 1: the club, mind, it's all good. And some people don't
Speaker 1: take it like that. They took when when I went
Speaker 1: Adam or when I was doing my thing, they took
Speaker 1: it all RBX tripping. I really wasn't, But I don't
Speaker 1: really care how they take it no more. And whatever.
Speaker 1: If you you you just feeling like bro, listen, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking like this, bro. If you're doing your thing and
Speaker 1: I'm over there trying to do my thing with you,
Speaker 1: and you ain't got the money to pay me or
Speaker 1: you ain't in a position where you can. But I
Speaker 1: gotta go do this over here. Then I gotta go
Speaker 1: where I can't provide for myself. That's not a uh oh,
Speaker 1: now this naked doing this, I don't think so now
Speaker 1: we better put the boas on this nink And now
Speaker 1: you're in the me up. No, stupid, I ain't got
Speaker 1: number love for you. However, you ain't able to hold
Speaker 1: me down correctly in the way I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to be held down, So you stay right here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over here handle my business so I'm
Speaker 1: able to you know the cum It's that it's that
Speaker 1: scenario of you know, an episode, so now something like
Speaker 1: like like, well, when it's when am I getting you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, when it's my turn to get ship?
Speaker 1: I ain't even really I ain't even really tripping on that,
Speaker 1: like okay, I can't eat here. You want a nickel
Speaker 1: and dime a brother. So basically that was what happened. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: without a project, yeah yeah, and I and I don't
Speaker 1: and I like, yeah, put hold the brakes on Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure. We're gonna make sure you got
Speaker 1: a bologne sandwich and some potatoes. Ships. But then after
Speaker 1: that you don't get no juice box. You don't get
Speaker 1: no cook Now you've been in jail because they had
Speaker 1: a sound and don't have a juice box. You up
Speaker 1: because you made I need a juice box, my nigger,
Speaker 1: the sward. All that ship is good, but you're gonna
Speaker 1: need your juice box, and you're gonna need your apple
Speaker 1: sup in your oranges bet three o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: then ud hydrated. You're gonna wish you had that orange
Speaker 1: or that apple. So that's all I'm saying. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you this ex, do you think by you and
Speaker 1: should playing ball together? Un l V, your relationship was
Speaker 1: a look a bit different because I noticed the other
Speaker 1: cats than can. The other cats didn't tend to give
Speaker 1: him that resistance that you did. I don't know about
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, I don't know. You know, I
Speaker 1: think we probably took ship a little further than and
Speaker 1: then if I had been just a normal artist that
Speaker 1: that didn't have that background, you know, damn me so.
Speaker 1: But he also knew that I knew who he was,
Speaker 1: and he knew who I was, and I wasn't even
Speaker 1: about that light. I ain't never been no superedout weirdo
Speaker 1: like Nia honey. But I was always defensive. If you
Speaker 1: bring it to my yard, then you better be ready
Speaker 1: to You brought that over here, Nick you Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm from Long Beach, so you know how to do,
Speaker 1: what you can do? What to do? Let me ask

Speaker 1: was there all the damn time, bro all the damn time,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like nothing personal. We'd be like we
Speaker 1: we wey out there balling for real. This was Do
Speaker 1: you think it was his football attitude different than his
Speaker 1: death row attitude. Not really sugar Bear with sugar Bear
Speaker 1: and the reason I gotta say sugar bear because everybody,
Speaker 1: why do you call him sugar bear? Sugar Bear is
Speaker 1: a name that I got from one of my player partners,
Speaker 1: David Hollins. David Hollis Guardeena Denver Lane played the Guardana high.
Speaker 1: He came up to Shug was coming from El Camino.
Speaker 1: Boo boo boo the l a thing. Sugar was out
Speaker 1: there doing this ship and they were talking about how
Speaker 1: sweet should feet was because they was sugar Bear was
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do nothing with him. And that's how
Speaker 1: he got the name sugar Bear. Well, chugar Bear got
Speaker 1: broke down the shugar and then shouldn't I turn into
Speaker 1: something else? Splink star rap when we got to this
Speaker 1: rap thing. But that's how it all came about. So

Speaker 1: about just the whole spiritual warfare that be going on this,
Speaker 1: you know, just this industry, the little dark stuff. Man.

Speaker 1: especially in that time period that we was in man,
Speaker 1: you know, the late nineties man and early two thousands
Speaker 1: and stuff. Man, do you think it was like a
Speaker 1: Satanic influence going around a little bit? Man? Uh, I

Speaker 1: I'm so hard, I could just do some ship and
Speaker 1: I never thought that. I always wanted to defeat them
Speaker 1: off from my loved one. So that's basically what I
Speaker 1: was doing, and it was to be playing. I wasn't
Speaker 1: even I don't think I was actually talking to Drey.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Snoop about um creeping down the
Speaker 1: backstreet on these I got my god cocka nickers want
Speaker 1: the no fun. As I said that that Naked Tray said,
Speaker 1: what is that? I said this when I was thinking
Speaker 1: that prob. He was like, naked. Do you know that
Speaker 1: we are talking? He said, asked you know that if
Speaker 1: I take that and finished the song, y'all finished that
Speaker 1: song that they naked, the album done? You working on

Speaker 1: was just doing my nigga, my nigga saying, hey man,
Speaker 1: we need you to come through our bugs, okay, because
Speaker 1: I got you. I wasn't in it my heart, but

Speaker 1: listened to the album in its entirety and there's some
Speaker 1: motherfucker you know what I'm saying? And he said, what

Speaker 1: know we were I said, we go to platinum. I said,
Speaker 1: it's a good little ditty. I thought it was. But
Speaker 1: I thought for me to say, oh, nigga, we fin
Speaker 1: the beat for me five times platinum would have been
Speaker 1: some bullshit it because I never your mind, wasn't even
Speaker 1: thinking that. I couldn't. I mean, I'm thinking that high.
Speaker 1: But uh, for other artists and the other genres you're there,
Speaker 1: I think it rap, don't do that. I'm thinking more
Speaker 1: like some Whitney type ship, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you do n That's that's great, and you d
Speaker 1: o C C ship. That's doctor track, nigger. I just
Speaker 1: just to the records. They could have record bank from

Speaker 1: hit the weak traffic, they can hit the wheat and
Speaker 1: that ship blew the funk up, niggers, Like, when did
Speaker 1: you realize that there was some ship? Though? When they
Speaker 1: dropped that Tuesday and I went to Vintage Beach with
Speaker 1: the Hume Girl Thursday, and every motherfucking car had the
Speaker 1: chronic that we pulled up when we got off the
Speaker 1: motherfucking freeway. As soon as we got a freeway start
Speaker 1: head towards the beach. Every time we pull up, I said, okay, my,

Speaker 1: blowing the funk out. We drove all the way down.
Speaker 1: Everybody was bumping the credit everybody. Then we got to
Speaker 1: the beach. The motherfucker's walking down the board walk with

Speaker 1: and I think, motherfucker, look up and like all these
Speaker 1: accolades of ship. Yeah, when I want. When I posted up,
Speaker 1: but I was getting, I was getting seven cents. I
Speaker 1: was loving the groove. Yeah, that ship wasn't it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't for me. I mean I got the war
Speaker 1: to not show enough. I appreciated everything you did. It
Speaker 1: just did I gotta go get it later. You know what,
Speaker 1: though y'all have some dope as moments over there. Dog,
Speaker 1: do you remember that you was at the source of
Speaker 1: wards that year. That's the year that that that Quick
Speaker 1: was up on stage when the bullshit came bullshit. That
Speaker 1: Ship must have been a motherfucker that year, Dog, pressure
Speaker 1: cooker that year. How many niggs was you win the audience? Ey,
Speaker 1: I know you probably had all about dude, you probably
Speaker 1: had the whole hood of that. I flew about ten
Speaker 1: dudes out there. Um, it was just tension time because
Speaker 1: not even I don't know, It wasn't even for the
Speaker 1: fact of of you know, Quick and death Row and
Speaker 1: all that. It was New York, you give me. It
Speaker 1: was just being in New York. Man, just was just
Speaker 1: I never you know, I got along with a lot
Speaker 1: of motherfucker's in New York To this day, Man, New
Speaker 1: York motherfucker's is like, I've had so much respect from
Speaker 1: niggas in New York and dudes I've worked with and
Speaker 1: all that, But it was tension around men, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then we were some gang banging.
Speaker 1: Asked niggas and Ship and where you feel like I
Speaker 1: always felt like New York was like they looked at
Speaker 1: us a little differently because how we represented hip hop,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And even though we had
Speaker 1: our rap rappers, you know what I'm saying, we had
Speaker 1: young mc s and we had mother fucking hieroglyphics and
Speaker 1: you know, we had Souls of Mischief and Hope Homo Sapien,
Speaker 1: and we had you know, we had Ciper's Hill, and
Speaker 1: we had you know, we had shipped outside cast, we
Speaker 1: had shipped outside of whatever. There was a lot of
Speaker 1: periody on the West Coast. Yeah, we still have a period. Definitely.
Speaker 1: We we had diversity on the West Coast. But our
Speaker 1: standout was our ship. You give me. Our standout was
Speaker 1: that struggle neighborhood rap you get me so, and that's
Speaker 1: what I checked to. Going to New York was always
Speaker 1: tension because we always felt like we were looked upon
Speaker 1: like slightly dang bangers and we were just you know,
Speaker 1: and like I said, I to go to New York
Speaker 1: all the time. It was hard niggas in New York
Speaker 1: to show this. Did anybody out there disappoint y'all? Like,
Speaker 1: because you know I heard it was motherfucker's out there
Speaker 1: booing niggas and all kind of ship. Wasn't anybody in
Speaker 1: particular that y'all saw tripping the kind of disappointed y'all
Speaker 1: you're talking about as far as a man at that time.
Speaker 1: It was just a lot of tension in the audience.
Speaker 1: Like I said, that was my second source of war.
Speaker 1: I don't even think there was no industry ship, dog,
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I think that was like more
Speaker 1: of the media kind of propelled that ship though about
Speaker 1: you know about the the tension, but the East Coast
Speaker 1: West Coast ship and all that ship, I don't think
Speaker 1: that ship was about. No, I'm on mine. That never
Speaker 1: bothered me. The East Coast That's why I mean, Chris
Speaker 1: did the East Coast West Coast color. That's what we
Speaker 1: were talking about. That ship never bothered me. More over
Speaker 1: than than that situation. I think when I was moving
Speaker 1: my CDs on the block and had to encourtain and
Speaker 1: be running the certain cats, and you thought David was
Speaker 1: gonna have love for you and respect the fact that
Speaker 1: you're on the block pushing your line, and they don't.

Speaker 1: the deals, yeah that you have like Atlantis or Epics. Folks.
Speaker 1: Was like, X, you could come over here and you
Speaker 1: have a situation. However, every situation had their little strings,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna dance over here, or they was trying
Speaker 1: to get at me because they was trying to get
Speaker 1: at some of my folks, or they needed my couple
Speaker 1: of my folks on the album to make it something
Speaker 1: like you if you can get it, or or if
Speaker 1: you get the disrespecting this right here, or if you
Speaker 1: stay on your death your death row discord. Well, what
Speaker 1: if I want to do something like this? Okay, well
Speaker 1: we're not gonna work because I'm not gonna have you
Speaker 1: telling me if I'm on the streets. I'm on the
Speaker 1: block every day. I listened to my cast every day.
Speaker 1: And that's not what you're talking about. That's not conducive.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Was there any deals that was presented
Speaker 1: to you that you felt like you should now that
Speaker 1: you look back on it, is there any deals that
Speaker 1: you felt like I should have took that? Yeah? So
Speaker 1: there was no record deals from any labels. You know,
Speaker 1: we got a million dollars or we got to fifty
Speaker 1: for you, or we got you know, you didn't feel like, man,
Speaker 1: let me take this check and gonna do these three
Speaker 1: four albums. And I mean we was gonna we was
Speaker 1: we was gonna do something rest in peace. My brother
Speaker 1: Cpo the heavyweights hard in the yard. They couldn't get
Speaker 1: the business right. That was that was gonna go through
Speaker 1: Snoop's labor right. They couldn't get the business right. I
Speaker 1: think it was E one or something. I'm not exactly
Speaker 1: on what really happened, but they couldn't get the business right,
Speaker 1: and they I think Vince was having health issues definitely,
Speaker 1: And I was willing to walk with my dog. I
Speaker 1: could get in my walker, I'll push that my and well,
Speaker 1: whatever the funk we gotta do. But I don't think
Speaker 1: everybody of some of the people that were supposed to
Speaker 1: be helping us push this product was all with that.
Speaker 1: We get a couple of joints gangs for no fund.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, bro Jack crazy, Yeah, you think
Speaker 1: what his health ishues? You think they kind of turned
Speaker 1: some of the people off with the label kinda Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: because they ain't this industry, don't give no fuss about you, honey,
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna be needy and no, they didn't
Speaker 1: give a fund. We they just want to own the stage,
Speaker 1: make the money. Will we're getting the money if anything
Speaker 1: kind of love and any kind of bad that that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's not what the industry though, that's not
Speaker 1: what the industry do. Rest in pe CPO one of
Speaker 1: the that's not what the industry do. It's one of
Speaker 1: our better lyricists from marta dog, that's my nigger. One
Speaker 1: of our better lyricist. CPO was tighter. That's my guy.
Speaker 1: CPO was real type man. Yeah, that's crazy. Like you said,
Speaker 1: I bet you a lot of people don't think about
Speaker 1: you know, because I don't know when people look at celebrities,
Speaker 1: they think celebrities or what invincible or some ship like that.
Speaker 1: Like I'm pretty sure doing your career, you don't got
Speaker 1: sick because the motherfucker had to go to the doctor
Speaker 1: to have you have How do you feel about you
Speaker 1: what I'm saying making all this money for labels and
Speaker 1: all that ship. Motherfucker's don't have proper health insurance, they
Speaker 1: don't have no do you think like motherfucker's signing to
Speaker 1: labels and ship because I'm pretty sure motherfucker who work upstairs,
Speaker 1: who who working on the computer, and who you know
Speaker 1: getting your posters and your program and ship together in
Speaker 1: exactly what you're making a label. Motherfucking tends. I mean,
Speaker 1: and and I think, I think why you don't think
Speaker 1: labels offer that to artists when they sign them? That
Speaker 1: should be putting I'll be I'm like, why shouldn't that
Speaker 1: be putting the contract as part of your contract, you're
Speaker 1: gonna pay for me some health insurance? If it's sure
Speaker 1: be this ship? For sure it would. It would be
Speaker 1: if cass was was enlightened to the fact. You know,
Speaker 1: I wasn't either. I wasn't either. But now they got contracts.
Speaker 1: Now that they are, they got contracts, they're gonna put that.
Speaker 1: They're gonna put an insurance on your life. Nick, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: they put um they sure getting insurance on whatever. And
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about it, it really sounds foul.
Speaker 1: It really does. However, business it's foul. Ain't nothing loving
Speaker 1: in business. So it's a business ploy a move. If
Speaker 1: you're spending two million on a situation and that you
Speaker 1: just want to give your money away, that's usually investment.
Speaker 1: The two million you're striving to get four million back
Speaker 1: to you put in til you get back. So if
Speaker 1: you got a situation now then that you invest in,
Speaker 1: they go crazy and get the wilder out they cause
Speaker 1: they're looking out for their entries, like this nigga, don't
Speaker 1: flipped out. You don't put a gun on this nigga.
Speaker 1: That nigga, and that they're gonna try to knock your
Speaker 1: head off out of't invested two millions. I think you're punk,
Speaker 1: head man. I got to get some insurance because if
Speaker 1: they knocked it ther head off, that's how they thinking.
Speaker 1: They're not from the hood, so they're not thinking hood.
Speaker 1: They're probably never gonna think hood. So that's what the
Speaker 1: fund's going on. That's crazy. That's crazy to see all that.
Speaker 1: You say that, man, And we got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of young brothers losing their life now, man, Like you know,
Speaker 1: you just had the little homie from the Meagles lost
Speaker 1: life right oh, the dumb ship, dumb ship. And you
Speaker 1: know you had the young boy that came out here
Speaker 1: from philipp and b Rock lost his life. Real recipes,
Speaker 1: both of those kids, and they you know, kids kids though,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Dan, I've seen brother screen brother, and sometimes
Speaker 1: I wish I could just hit my little roller Dex
Speaker 1: and let me keep that nig number real quick. Hey,
Speaker 1: how are you talking real whackness? You in l A.
Speaker 1: I don't care how hard you are the rules out
Speaker 1: here and the last thing you want to do is
Speaker 1: be on the thing he got. Ain't nigger, don't they
Speaker 1: ain't they ain't hard enough? Then somebody hard enough in
Speaker 1: l A. The error you come from. Do you feel responsible? No,
Speaker 1: I don't. Really, I don't. I don't feel but you
Speaker 1: don't feel responsible for the music that was created in
Speaker 1: our era. As far as what the youth are doing today.
Speaker 1: Do you feel responsible for how that happened? No, I
Speaker 1: don't because because a lot of people push the narrative
Speaker 1: and say that it's because of our musical influence on
Speaker 1: those youths back in the days. It's why ship is
Speaker 1: so fucked up nowadays. Because mc A talked about the
Speaker 1: Hood took him under or drive by Ms Daisy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I listened to that ship, the Hood that took
Speaker 1: me at the chair n I heard you. I see
Speaker 1: all that ship then n asks my ship? Who gives that?
Speaker 1: But no, in all honesty, we gotta police ourselves and
Speaker 1: trying to find a skategold and employed it was him?
Speaker 1: It was him, No, it wasn't. That era that we
Speaker 1: talked about. Was the Rodney King era, And we really
Speaker 1: wasn't talking about splattening our homies. We was really splattening
Speaker 1: the time. I'm gonna keep it the buck because they
Speaker 1: was doing us, beating us in front of them. So
Speaker 1: these are the ones we was really That's where a
Speaker 1: lot of the tension come from. It's not a lot
Speaker 1: of uh songs that we was making that we was like,
Speaker 1: go get on to go out and kill people that
Speaker 1: look like you. That's not that wasn't That wasn't the sentiment.
Speaker 1: The sentiment was We're gonna be hard in your because
Speaker 1: they're trying to knock us, damn And we never it
Speaker 1: was never. It was think people get it confused because
Speaker 1: they're not from here. People get it confused because you know,
Speaker 1: if you would take example of of of songs that
Speaker 1: I made, uh Nigga struggling growing up in the hood,
Speaker 1: like the hood took me under. I think people get
Speaker 1: it confused because of the tales we told about the
Speaker 1: situations of our era. You know, when I made songs
Speaker 1: like that, I basically wanted to describe anyone in in
Speaker 1: a row who grew up like I l a that
Speaker 1: ship I I I when I talked about you know,
Speaker 1: niggas jumped in the sixth trade and rolled around the
Speaker 1: corner and and got into a drive by. It's because
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the scenario of what's happening in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: What happens when dudes retaliate. I'm reporting giving you. I
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't, you know. I didn't make songs where
Speaker 1: I said, go to x y Z hood and then
Speaker 1: look for Little Doo Doo and then still little Doo Doo.
Speaker 1: I didn't make songs like you know, mind that, like
Speaker 1: a lot of the songs nowadays, are you go straight
Speaker 1: and the Walmart? I'm telling off. I'm from eight Street,
Speaker 1: you know, And we don't like niggas from anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't like niggas from four Street. And then there's Juju,
Speaker 1: and then there's Little Pooky and then there's Little Do
Speaker 1: Do and they got we smoked Little Dodo, and girl,
Speaker 1: we I never died, you know what I'm saying. And
Speaker 1: as niggas who claim neighborhoods, you've always had beef, you
Speaker 1: give me. I don't give a funk. We had beef
Speaker 1: with the niggas over there, and you had beef with
Speaker 1: this neighborhood. Neighborhood. But my songs weren't like a niggas
Speaker 1: in my hood. Let's go to that hood over there,
Speaker 1: and let's smoke Little Joe Joe and little Woompy woomb
Speaker 1: Then we're gonna run back to the studio and then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on radio and then I'm talking about
Speaker 1: Little KK smoke Little Dodo, and then we over here
Speaker 1: and we're smoking on little Doodoo packs. Right now, it's
Speaker 1: just so aggressive, so aggressive, it's it's I think the
Speaker 1: aggression is just lost. It's just they don't they don't
Speaker 1: know what. Have you had it? Have you had what
Speaker 1: it is? Little? You know you probably doesn't had it.
Speaker 1: You probably doesn't had it. Like the aggression that people
Speaker 1: have on social media. Now they're coming your d M

Speaker 1: or whatever, and the fans just be like they'd be
Speaker 1: ready to fight you. Level of what the level of
Speaker 1: what fans go through nowadays is like crazy, because like
Speaker 1: you said, it just be motherfucker's just be willing to
Speaker 1: take it to that you think about it, For the
Speaker 1: first time in history, a person at home is actually
Speaker 1: able to reach out and get at any access to
Speaker 1: you in your life and what you got going on,
Speaker 1: and no time, whether it's through your Instagram channel where,
Speaker 1: whether it's to your Twitter. Did you follow your phone?
Speaker 1: You imagine? Can you imagine what the motherfucker could have
Speaker 1: did back in the days if they could have just
Speaker 1: picked up the phone man called Michael or remember this,
Speaker 1: Remember when you leave your house and you had a
Speaker 1: phone call, you wouldn't know you got back home. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you the funny thing about nowadays too.
Speaker 1: Before the voicemail was a step up. But the nigga
Speaker 1: would tell you today they will actually get mad if
Speaker 1: they can't get in touch with you. People have so
Speaker 1: much access to so much. People have too much spoil
Speaker 1: to where they get mad because I had a dude

Speaker 1: they could no pages then. But that was the best
Speaker 1: ship ever. Beat me. Remember that he can't beat me.
