Can you tell a 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.720 braking fats and like, come on, goddamn it, we are celebrating. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.239 I cannot start the Dame of view and I ain't 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:15.840 gonna lie. I ain't a lot, mr Day. I'm in 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.079 the plastic cups, plastic cups. I like plastics. I'm like 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.960 a hood. I'm wanna drink a special ship, but I 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.639 want to drink first, drink champagne too. Plastic cups work, 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.040 That's what I'm used to them, so fat, Like a 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.680 lot of people, don't let make it to what I 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:34.720 said in the intro uh to me if you would 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.440 have made records and then and take this, if you'd 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.799 have made records like just street records, like people will 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.280 compare you to like black thought of you don't say 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:47.040 it with that lyrical thing, because like you're really somebody 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.880 who really thinks about each goddamn ball line? Right, how 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.520 do you develop that? And who inspired that? With artists? 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.680 I think, um, I think the first artist that inspired 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.360 me was Can I See Four? Then I was just 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.160 like a fan of hip hop, so like anybody who 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.440 just had a good joint you. But Kaine was the 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:15.200 first person that I started seeing like getting style swag, 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.959 you know what I mean, the girls like that. He 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.680 still was hard, he smashed. He was ahead of his 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:29.799 time in social media. Social media need have been lit. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.440 But it was a little too that was too much 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.440 back then then. I think the chocolate, the dots chocolate 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.840 thing might have yeah, and and and then and then 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.440 the Speedos. Remember he had the speedos U in her book, right, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.760 No I'm tooking my home Big day came. No, No, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.800 But that's what Naomi Campbell when he had the Speedos, right, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.920 that's what it would it would then. I know, it's 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.320 just still just still felt weird to me, it definitely 0:03:55.360 --> 0:04:04.200 was weird. Now it was lit he is so Kane 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.360 sparked it for me, and he sparked like line for line, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.320 like how he would even set up his bars, you know, 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.280 put the quarter in your ask because you played yourself. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.640 You know what I'm saying. What you want dope with 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.760 dog food like he dope dog. Kane was the first one, 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.000 and then it was Big. All my influences was kind 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.440 of close to me too, like Big and then Jay 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.320 because you know, it was from where you're from, related 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.000 more of court, you know what I'm saying. They look 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.719 more relatable to you. They look like you. They look 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.120 they come from the places you come from. Marcia is 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.200 seven minutes from me, you know what I'm saying. So 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.680 all of those things was those are the artists that 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.679 you know. How how is it seeing the new Brooklyn? 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.200 You know what I'm saying, because um, this is a 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.280 whole new era. Like you got a Soho house in Brooklyn, now, 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.880 like that's how it's different. I mean, but it's it's 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.280 it's it's old roll is good, you know what I mean. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.080 I love Bold Brooklyn. I love you know the energy 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.479 of old Brooklyn. I love Brooklyn still there. Let's be clear. Yeah, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.680 still still underneath you and you make it wrong and 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.280 the roc like that, you know, I mean, it's still there. 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.359 But Nell, Brooklyn is is showing you, um, you know, 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.279 the progression evolution. You know what I'm saying, even you 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.599 know down to the nets coming in, you know what 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.880 I mean that that whole that whole thing is just 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.039 it just shows that Brooklyn is growing up a little 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.080 bit to you know what I'm saying, potential to And 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.920 you think anybody got you on the Show Brooklyn challenge 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.440 or pretty much you nailed everybody. I think I nailed 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.240 it because I said it all. I was gonna say 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:44.360 that I got after that one. I knew he was 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.960 gonna say that. But because I've seen cassing over to 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.520 an interview and he said, yeah that may don't called 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.000 him and mayn't say he got you. Now listen to me, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:57.520 no verse, Yeah, man maynoes you know. And he also 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.840 he's speaking from a place that he comes from. You 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.800 He's he's from notion, from the from the on the street. 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.520 So you know, but I mean on that type of time, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.080 that's what I do. Single. I might even say that 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.120 my verse started that challenge what I'm It's like when 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.839 you walk on something so bad, like you know, you 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.960 ever you have a felt like everybody want to walk 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.960 you know, everybody want to learn you have from like 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.839 you did a record where, um, you didn't you didn't 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:31.320 have the best verse. Um, Like my first question for 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.040 anybody's on bad from TVs? Who had the best verse 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:42.799 on bad from TV? Kissing Styles back and forth Badly? 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.159 I just liked because it was two of them. I did, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.360 like styles back to style, smoked my weed and went 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.320 pass it back to me. I'm thinking, what is going on? 0:06:54.400 --> 0:07:01.320 And I didn't know now so that but what is 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:02.960 there a record that you you felt like you should 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.080 have went back in and changed your verse or it 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.040 probably his records that I felt like I could have, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.000 you know after the fact, But I was, I was. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.960 I was cool with it at the time, Like when 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.280 I'm doing them, I listened to it enough to say, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:17.920 oh yeah, now we just send it over. You know 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.480 what I'm saying. I'm not like the the freestyle off 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.560 the top of the head and just give anybody anything 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.680 like I really sit all right put in it, you 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.480 know what I mean? And I think people respect. I 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.559 think when people even getting verses back from me. They listened, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.200 They don't. You don't sound like if you get a 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.040 verse from and do it Andy being like, man, you 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.120 just said anything on this ship. You know, I don't think. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.080 I don't think I give people that energy. Now. Now, 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.360 at one point you was doing I think it's the 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.560 Friday Night Freestyles or something was you and Jada right now? 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.040 You would you were you were predominantly doing records that 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.760 was out already, or you was doing new records too. No, 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.880 I was just doing nineties okay freestyle. Have you ever 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:56.000 free stylet on someone's new record and they got mad 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:03.240 at you? No? No, because you know, I've got calls 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.160 before when I was the biggest, bigger artist and I 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.800 would rhyme on someone's record and then to the radio 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.480 or the people that's you know, you know cool or 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.480 something will play my version as opposed to playing the 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.000 other artist version. So I've got he was doing that 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.520 back then, you know what I'm saying, because we was 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.120 at that time, we was jumping on new ships. French 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.119 Bobby Smurder remix almost got a little bit more burned 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.920 in the original, you know what I'm saying. And I 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.920 could I could imagine Bobby Smurder labels called the Sneaky 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.959 Behind that French was supposed to be on the remix, 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.800 but French just threw his out, so he drew it 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.920 out before the remix was completed, or he might he 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.360 might have not even put it out. Let me let 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:43.720 me say that. I don't think he put it up, 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.400 but it came out with just him and the Bobby 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.200 s Murder when it was supposed to men all the 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.480 people who that was, I guess on the remix. So 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.560 they got that one first, and then I didn't even 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:58.000 though I know that because the Smurder boys was telling 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.800 me like they hadn't finished putting the re mixed together yet, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.160 but that one was out now, So you know, people 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.520 gonna play the new joint. Frenches join Hisfic. They really 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.559 do know each other. We do pick up the findy 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:15.360 man in the background.

Um, I 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.160 actually seen fifty from the beginning. Like I always tell 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.720 that the fifty that I know he got so much 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.680 like accolades and so much money now and I still 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.840 it's still funny when I say I'm proud of you, 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.360 because I'm so he looking at me like nigga, I 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.760 might see you seven times, but still it doesn't not. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.840 I seemed to growth. I seem to you come up, 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:49.880 and I'm always salute that, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.720 I'm always salute that because I see I seem to 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.560 hunger in you in the beginning. I seem that you 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.920 was relentless. You wasn't gonna you know what I mean, 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.160 you wasn't gonna let up. And for you to be 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.880 where you at, I definitely salute that, my brother, because 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.160 I mean, I think I think that should be more. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.320 You know, just think about Let's think about it. Like 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.480 you had one shot. You went to a radio station 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.080 and at the time, I was like platinum, I was 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:18.400 like whatever, and you came and each other. I think 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.320 they what did you think you hate? So how did 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.600 you feel about Clue bringing I didn't even have a 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.639 relationship with. I still don't know why he gave me 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.640 that platform, on that opportunity, you know what I'm saying, 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.399 That shot like that because I didn't even have a 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.720 relationship to tell you the truth, Um, it felt like 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.840 he was meant to be. Like you know how some 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.320 certain things don't feel You didn't feel no kind of way. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.760 I actually did not word when he was like he 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.520 was just in the moment, he was like my man's 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.520 gonna rhyme. And I think they called him sport. I 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.840 didn't even call you fave at the time, and I 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.440 was like, no problem, and I did. And then and 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.119 when I seen that they made him the forefront of 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.800 desert storm, like he went from like being like you know, 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:02.040 the artists that they was thinking about to the and 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.399 that that ship like me, like I love to be 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.960 be a hot part of hip hop history. You understand 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.159 saying I can pay a little part, like a tiny 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.840 part of that ship. And you know I play a 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:23.560 tiny part of Farrell's career like like that say, because 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.960 you know the world recognized his talent. You don't take 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.720 away from his talent, not taking away from his town, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.440 but you held the world recognized Like that moment for 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.480 you in the station, that was a moment. That was 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.320 a moment that changed things. Yes, because I always wanted 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.240 to know how he felt about that because I didn't. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.440 I didn't. I don't know if Clue even mentioned it 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.200 to him that he was gonna do it or like 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.600 even when I started rapping and rapping back and forth. 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.960 But he's at this point, you know, accomplished and did 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.440 doing his thing, and even him going back to the 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.359 hood is little man that you have told you to 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:00.639 take me up, but that did happen. And gonna be honest, 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.359 yall relationships seem organic from the beginning. So even though 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.720 he told me he didn't say that, just meant he said, 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:11.280 my man, but it felt it felt it felt but 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.040 he didn't claim but it felt it felt, it felt good. 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.440 And I'm just like, so so let's let me I'm 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.520 jumping around a little bit. I remember one of your 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.320 first singles was with Nate Dog and this was like 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.960 right after like the East Coast West Coast Ship was 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.600 like drawing like and you was like you not only 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.080 did did the song, but you actually went to Cali 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.480 and filmed the video. No, no, no, you okay because 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.399 the Little Riders maybe maybe ain't crazy. No, she was 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.479 just patching back together. That was one of the illest 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.560 parts about that record, because I don't think before that time. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.600 It was a little gap in between. Yes it was, 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.760 And I didn't even know that I really was doing 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.520 that until it happened, and I was like, damn, like, 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.320 you know, niggas haven't been working with each other like 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.320 that since the vig and pop shit, you know what 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.480 I'm saying. So this was kind of like that could 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.399 And I don't even know if Nate I thought that 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.760 deep into it too. The kid who produced it was 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.520 from the Bay and then they jumped on it, and 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.960 then you know, I made it my first single, and 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.879 then people kind of connected the dots and that, like 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.639 I we didn't. I didn't see it. I know. I 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.600 definitely wasn't looking at it like you're just gonna bring 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.520 the least in the West. I wouldn't even lie. It 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.000 actually did in a certain way because it was like, um, 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:27.320 you coming out being the new hot kids and interscope 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:31.000 at the time, right I was on Electric Electric, Okay, 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:34.200 Elector and with the number one DJ which is Clue 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.440 and then this is the guy who's a legend, and 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.000 so it did in a way, but it was it 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.480 was funny at first. I remember industry people like how 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:47.879 flex right there? Well in cruise the world, no one 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:52.120 was hotter than Clue. In the mixtape world. At one point, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.320 no one was hotter than Clue. But what I gotta 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.760 give Flex is no one has ever really touched Flex 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.200 on that radio, like throwing a party on the radio, 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:08.120 like just your New York City stopped, like you haven't 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:13.359 heard Flex pulling over, pull over, like like he's like, 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:17.320 hold on, hold over, motherfucker, I'm going over and he'll 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.359 drop a ball like I'm into that ship. You know 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.280 when Drake and Meek had had had had the ship 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.840 and Flex said I got the Meek record. You know, 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.480 I missed my flight that night because I didn't want 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.600 to hear it. I didn't I'm so much as a 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.159 fan of like the hip hop ship. I was like, 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.600 I looked at by and I didn't want to miss 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:44.399 it's coming out. It's my it's my uncle's birthday. So 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:46.800 I go to my uncle's trib. My uncle dude, you know, 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.880 chill vibes bombing you at the crib, But it's more 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.119 like a you gotta you can't be on your phone 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:55.760 and chicken and you know what I'm saying. So it's 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.920 more like just kicking it with your uncle and and 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.159 really fucking with him, have a drink, smoke whatever. So 0:22:01.320 --> 0:22:03.640 I'm doing that and then somebody texts me like, Yo, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.359 they're about to do the Meek record. I'm like, wow, Wow, 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.040
