Speaker 1: He's extra comfortable as we like everybody, but we want
Speaker 1: to get right into it. Man, you came in you
Speaker 1: one of the you know ones that made it. You
Speaker 1: came from a street gang, bang in life too. I'm mogul,
Speaker 1: you know, worth a lot of ms. Like talk to
Speaker 1: me what that transition was like? Well, I was telling
Speaker 1: somebody the day in the meet and I was like,
Speaker 1: imagine all of the fortune five hundred drug dealers that
Speaker 1: got locked up before marijuana was legal. Imagine how fly
Speaker 1: they would be and I shop they would be. I'm
Speaker 1: just one of those guys that just happened to beat
Speaker 1: the system. And I take my hustle, I take my
Speaker 1: streets savvy, I take my experience around people the the
Speaker 1: way my mother raised me. My mother raised me to
Speaker 1: love people. Right. I was born in the seventies, so
Speaker 1: I was raised in the era where it wasn't about color.
Speaker 1: So I had friends that was white, Hispanic, Asian, everything,
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. So I was taught to
Speaker 1: love people. So when I was able to get into
Speaker 1: the music industry, I was writing music for people, I
Speaker 1: was meeting people, and I was becoming accustomed to learning
Speaker 1: what people love. And that's what made me likable, eventually
Speaker 1: made me lovable, and that's why I'm still here. And
Speaker 1: that's why my longevity is with within the rams of
Speaker 1: meat and the peace put it out, you know service.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm the people's champ. So they say, your mom,
Speaker 1: your mom was man man mom sung in the church,
Speaker 1: led the choir, did all that good stuff. And you know,
Speaker 1: my whole family was connected to music, but nobody actually
Speaker 1: made that breakthrough to actually like get a big deal
Speaker 1: and become a big story. There was like a lot
Speaker 1: of writers, a lot of behind the scenes, a lot
Speaker 1: of artists that was connected to my family. But I
Speaker 1: was like the first one to actually break the mold.
Speaker 1: But it's the years of them not making it, which
Speaker 1: was the spirit of me pushing through. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: you know you can't do it without the forefathers and
Speaker 1: the grandmothers and the people that did it before you.
Speaker 1: They gave the foundation just their prayers along. Man, that
Speaker 1: goes a long way to Jack. They don't understand when
Speaker 1: they say I'm praying for you, how serious that is,
Speaker 1: Like we really be needing that. Like I always say
Speaker 1: that everybody parents or everybody that that's has people in
Speaker 1: their life that's older that always say I'm praying Tell
Speaker 1: your friends Snoop Dogg, I'm praying for him. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And I tell people all the time, you wonder why people,
Speaker 1: especially our generation, be so hurt when our grandmothers died,
Speaker 1: because that's the only people we feel like that we
Speaker 1: know that was praying for us every day all the time.
Speaker 1: They told us that every day I'm praying for on
Speaker 1: my head about praying for me, and then when I
Speaker 1: come to see you. She had Jimmy swagger. She was
Speaker 1: dumping boatloads of money in Jimmy's pot. You understand, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Swagger got to raise three million dollars every day, baby,
Speaker 1: three million. Yes, sir, Hey, let's take a real small
Speaker 1: chronic break real quick. Man. We appreciate you because you
Speaker 1: didn't say that, right, Matt, you gotta say, can we
Speaker 1: have a moment of silence for this small crime? Bright
Speaker 1: legendary You can say that though exactly that that was
Speaker 1: your tone, but you know, because that's how we wanted
Speaker 1: to come into and it didn't initially work out. But
Speaker 1: you know when I said we you know, we got
Speaker 1: snoop online, but were don't have to be able to
Speaker 1: the blow one for the Poe one. So it took
Speaker 1: a little finessing, but you know, shout out Brian, Brian
Speaker 1: made that happen. Brian finally came through line, Brian came through.
Speaker 1: Appreciate But anyway back, you've been someone that's been able
Speaker 1: to I guess connect different rules almost uh, someone who's
Speaker 1: a bridge builder between the streets and business, through football
Speaker 1: and in the communities, uh music, Uh, and it goes on.
Speaker 1: And where did you learn how to bridge those gaps
Speaker 1: and and bring all these different people together? You know
Speaker 1: what n B I think it became something that grew
Speaker 1: on me. I think it was always in me. It
Speaker 1: just grew on me as far as like the like
Speaker 1: my arms and my legs, something that I moved with
Speaker 1: every day. It grew on me like that to where
Speaker 1: it was something I had to move with every day
Speaker 1: because I come from violence. I come from negativity and
Speaker 1: hate and the negasin bitch ass neggasine win supposed to
Speaker 1: be cool with them nea. I come from that energy.
Speaker 1: So me making it was if I make it, I
Speaker 1: won't the niggas that don't post to like me to
Speaker 1: like me. Let me write something that they're gonna like,
Speaker 1: let me do something that they're gonna like. I may
Speaker 1: offend my neighborhood more than offending your neighborhood because I'm
Speaker 1: stepping outside of the box and breaking a chain of
Speaker 1: negative energy, and I'm bringing people together who would have
Speaker 1: never came together. And it's by coincidence, by the glory
Speaker 1: of God, that Death Row Records was built off of
Speaker 1: bloods and crips because prior to that, there was no
Speaker 1: communication with bloods and crips, Like our communication was like, nigga,
Speaker 1: what's happening, what's up? Disrespect on every level. So when
Speaker 1: Death Row Records came about, it forced us to communicate
Speaker 1: and to collaborate and to be around each other and
Speaker 1: either nigga man up or or hole up or whole
Speaker 1: show up. Nigga ain't knowing between you have to get
Speaker 1: down or lay down because it was always somebody aggressive there.
Speaker 1: But it taught us how to be better people. And like,
Speaker 1: I like these niggas. Let me now, y'all, you like
Speaker 1: the same cereal. I like nigga, You like nigga, all
Speaker 1: this ship, I like you like like you know, just
Speaker 1: like you know what. It's the stereotype that we gotta break,
Speaker 1: And I was just willing to be the nigga that
Speaker 1: just was like fuck it. In the beginning on Death Row,
Speaker 1: Sugar used to get mad at me because I used
Speaker 1: to hang with his homies too much, meaning that not
Speaker 1: like like mad mad, but like nigga, you're going on
Speaker 1: in the hood with this nigga and buying dogs and
Speaker 1: doing all kinds of ship with this nigga. This niggas
Speaker 1: a killer, so you brought him around me, Like that's
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do. I ain't supposed to be
Speaker 1: a shell nigg im supposed to get out and move around,
Speaker 1: and I moved around and I became a piece for
Speaker 1: motherfucker because I've seen that we was all alike, and
Speaker 1: I've seen I had power, and I've seen when I
Speaker 1: walked in the room, people listen and people react different.
Speaker 1: So instead of me being the nigga that's like, get
Speaker 1: that nigga, Get that nigga, I was like, Hey, go
Speaker 1: get that nigga, Go get that nigga. Come here? What's
Speaker 1: that name? What y'all tripping off of? Man? Y'all both
Speaker 1: got love, man quick man, get this nigga. Hook, Get
Speaker 1: this nigga your number? Quit playing nigga. We are family.
Speaker 1: Use your shot calling in a positive way, right. Never
Speaker 1: seen me for always the other way. Haven't ran into
Speaker 1: any kind of trouble with that anyway, put back always
Speaker 1: because that's considered it as soft. Actually, me and Tupac
Speaker 1: our clash was that because remember when Tupac got out,
Speaker 1: he was on a different path. After when he got out,
Speaker 1: I was fighting a murder case. That's different than niggas hadening.
Speaker 1: That's totally different. But if you ain't going through it,
Speaker 1: it ain't and if you're young, it looked like stripes.
Speaker 1: It looked like nigger. That's what you're supposed to nigga.
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get back in this ship, because that's
Speaker 1: the kind of nigga. He was like, Nigga, I take
Speaker 1: my stripes and get back. And that's the kind of
Speaker 1: nigger I was until that happened, because a life was lost.
Speaker 1: It's different, you get what I'm saying. So I was
Speaker 1: emotionally attached to that, and I couldn't find myself being
Speaker 1: mad at niggas no more and having beef. And he
Speaker 1: wanted me to not like certain niggas in there, like
Speaker 1: fuck them niggas, and I was like, no, mm hmm.
Speaker 1: They didn't do nothing to me. That's all real man
Speaker 1: standing though. If you don't like if if you don't
Speaker 1: like somebody, I don't like them. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: if it's somebody I don't know and they got beef,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna jump on the side because I know
Speaker 1: one of them is different. Us three you pocket you, biggie,
Speaker 1: I'm snooped. We're all friends. At the same time. We
Speaker 1: didn't hung out at the same time, we didn't smoke weed,
Speaker 1: chopping up about bitches and all kind of ship ninety
Speaker 1: three ninety four. Then could go to jail cause get out,
Speaker 1: cause get shot. Now he tripping on Cuz. But I
Speaker 1: go and see Cus and they don't do nothing to me,
Speaker 1: and everything is cool with me, and I'm leveling it out,
Speaker 1: like I don't think Cuz did that to you. Then
Speaker 1: I say, hey, sure, put Cuz with us, get him
Speaker 1: with us. Now he with us? Now he really wants
Speaker 1: me to ride on him when I could beat the
Speaker 1: hold on. Let me show you that he didn't do it,
Speaker 1: but niggas didn't want to hear that funk that he
Speaker 1: did it and shoot pushing right with h Yeah he
Speaker 1: didn't suck him. Niggas when it's like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I can get us all on the room when we
Speaker 1: can get some understanding, because I think we'd be better
Speaker 1: making money together. He's niggas is rapping just like us.
Speaker 1: They're taking the same stop. They really our little homies,
Speaker 1: stop pressing and learn how to be partners. Could be beneficial.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine big pocket Snoop all over something and
Speaker 1: they wanted that. Y'all wanted it too. I wanted it
Speaker 1: pocket Sho at one point, Park wanted it because he
Speaker 1: would him and Biggie was the tightest friends before he
Speaker 1: got on Death Fro. Before he got on Death Fro,
Speaker 1: was that almost the would you say, almost the battery
Speaker 1: in his back. He was just out nigga. It's some
Speaker 1: footage of Tupots bringing Biggie two l a party. Nigga.
Speaker 1: We was all rapping on the mic. Warren G was
Speaker 1: on first, Biggie me DC was there. It was an
Speaker 1: event that Tupac brought that nigga too, and we didn't
Speaker 1: know cause at the time we were looking at this
Speaker 1: big old fat nigga rapping like this nigga hard is
Speaker 1: a mother because he was whopp. It was cool. It
Speaker 1: was love shout out DC. I'm from Texas, so you
Speaker 1: don't have no nigga. That's my mentor nigga. That's my
Speaker 1: sense sake nigga, that's the god. I'm his voice. Know that.
Speaker 1: So you're breaking too the game? Really? Uh you know?
Speaker 1: It was when you pulled up on the chronic and
Speaker 1: really changed the world. How did you andre make that connection?
Speaker 1: DJ warren g Um. Warren G was a Snoop dog fanatic,
Speaker 1: like he loved Snoop Dogg more than Snoop Dogg. He
Speaker 1: believed in me more than anybody. So whenever I would
Speaker 1: make cassettes and ship like that, he would always try
Speaker 1: to get my cassettes in the right hands of people.
Speaker 1: And he just was like just the worst nigger but
Speaker 1: the best name. I ain't related to him at all
Speaker 1: with him and Dray and Drake was a step brother.
Speaker 1: So he pressing the line, pressing the line so he
Speaker 1: could always go to inn w A functions. They had
Speaker 1: a bachelor party one night. So Warren goes to the
Speaker 1: bachelor party with our cassette. Music stopped. He throw the
Speaker 1: cassette in the cassette banging. Everybody at the party like
Speaker 1: who is that? He like, that's my own boy snow.
Speaker 1: So the next day Dr Dre calling like they I
Speaker 1: like what was on the tape? Come to the studio.
Speaker 1: So I come to the studio and record a song.
Speaker 1: I bring Nick dog when we record a song called
Speaker 1: Gangster's Life. That's the first thing we did. And he
Speaker 1: was like he's starting the label and this and that,
Speaker 1: and we just started buying and I started coming to
Speaker 1: the studio every day, no money, just every day writing, writing, writing,
Speaker 1: until we finally just like we called a motherfucking hit.
Speaker 1: He had moved me into his house and the deep
Speaker 1: cover soundtracker came about, and he was like, I need
Speaker 1: a song for the soundtrack. I'm gonna go to the
Speaker 1: gym when I get back, I need a song to
Speaker 1: be done. I'm like, well, what's the movie about. What's
Speaker 1: the soundtrack about? It? Like ship up? He called the company.
Speaker 1: It's about an undercover cop selling somebody selling dope to
Speaker 1: an undercover cop. And I'm like, damn, I got caught
Speaker 1: for selling dope to undercover cops. That's why I went
Speaker 1: to jail. So I'm like, all right, cool, I got it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, how you wanted to start off? He like,
Speaker 1: I want my first lines to be Tonice. Tonight, I
Speaker 1: get in some ship deep cover on the incognito tip.
Speaker 1: That's how you want to start off? All right? Cool?
Speaker 1: Too nice? Tonight I get in some ship deep cover
Speaker 1: on the incognito tip, killing motherfucker's If I have to
Speaker 1: pilling cap tools, let you niggas know I'm coming at you.
Speaker 1: I guess it's part of the game. But I feel
Speaker 1: for the nigger who think he's just gonna come and
Speaker 1: change things with the swiftness. So get it right with
Speaker 1: the quickness and let me handle my business, y'all classes.
Speaker 1: So that's the first song, y'all together. That's the first
Speaker 1: song that we put out. We recorded G Thing before that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I had a motherfucking toothache, and I went and
Speaker 1: got some peels from my auntie and violated my probation
Speaker 1: and had to go to jail for like four months.
Speaker 1: So that prolonged that ship. Yeah, so, y'all thing, then
Speaker 1: you got locked up. We recorded G Thing first and
Speaker 1: I got locked up. Then I got out, and then
Speaker 1: we did deep Cover, and deep Cover came out first,
Speaker 1: and then we re recorded G Thing once my ship
Speaker 1: had got healed, because my voice was like sucked up.
Speaker 1: But once my ship and got here and my ship
Speaker 1: was crisp as a mother, I heard that ship and
Speaker 1: in my airphone, I'm like this nigga, Dr Dre's the
Speaker 1: ship cut. My ship sounded cleanland one, two, three into
Speaker 1: the folk. That ship was like crystal clear. Because remember
Speaker 1: I was rapping on bullshit ass equipment before I meet
Speaker 1: this nigger. So imagine that they're going to walk man,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they get some beat by
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Here your voice like that,
Speaker 1: It's like, oh man, that ship is mind blowing. Then
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like d O C is
Speaker 1: right here and the nigga the the rap was so dope.
Speaker 1: That nigger only helped me with four lines. And normally
Speaker 1: when I was righting, like before that, he would be
Speaker 1: helping me with everything, he'd be like, no, you got
Speaker 1: the modest, modest around over there. You gotta put that first. Man,
Speaker 1: that gotta go right there, Doggie dog, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta cut this ship out right here. Ain't nobody gonna
Speaker 1: say that ship and it's right here. And when they
Speaker 1: put that right there, doggie dog, when I did g
Speaker 1: thing that nigga just said one line, he was like
Speaker 1: we had got to the end and nigger got stuck.
Speaker 1: He was like like this that in this center. It's
Speaker 1: like that and that's okay, cool, That's all I need
Speaker 1: because he gave me that one motherfucking line and that
Speaker 1: ship ended. That ship doesn't like my nigga dgo seat.
Speaker 1: No one could do with better. And I was stuck.
Speaker 1: He was like like this that in this center because
Speaker 1: it was about the way the cadence, because we was
Speaker 1: already saying like this and like that, but was saying
Speaker 1: like this that and this cat, and they had cats.
Speaker 1: That's that Texas ship, y'all Texas niggas moved to a
Speaker 1: different drum. Yeah, well you better know it. That drum
Speaker 1: is all that's motherfucker's on time though, So that puts
Speaker 1: you on the map, obviously. Is it like going from
Speaker 1: being a hood superstar too a real up and coming star.
Speaker 1: How do you handle that? Wow? Um? The first phases
Speaker 1: the the show The Box. I don't know if you'll
Speaker 1: remember that show where you could order videos all day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could order and then take you the next one
Speaker 1: that's coming, So jukebox and then they called it the Box. Remember, So,
Speaker 1: I didn't have no where to stay at the time
Speaker 1: g thing was popping, So I spend a night in
Speaker 1: my cousin. How she lived in Perkorima and Perkoma is
Speaker 1: all blood. So she lived an apartment to and so
Speaker 1: ghetto at like the apartment builders on Baby Boy that event,
Speaker 1: living living the same kind of ship nigging upstairs. So
Speaker 1: I'm upstairs sleeping ship. I wake up in the morning.
Speaker 1: In the video, just coming on back to back to back.
Speaker 1: That my fucking thing came on like twelve times in
Speaker 1: a row, like nothing else but that just because who
Speaker 1: were ordered just come yeah, No motherfucker just came on.
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, this is my fucking poppet. I hear
Speaker 1: a bunch of niggas downstairs. I'm like, damn, I ain't
Speaker 1: got no gun. I'm like my cousin, she a female,
Speaker 1: but one of the niggas as the leader is her
Speaker 1: baby daddy. Come on, my Nigga's got to be a reason.
Speaker 1: So the baby daddy come up in that motherfuck he liked.
Speaker 1: He looked at me. He won a trip, but he
Speaker 1: can't because the music is banging so hard. He like, hey,
Speaker 1: blood that that music you got with Dr DR That
Speaker 1: ship hard. I'm like, good looking Caul. And then it
Speaker 1: was like a weird because remember I'm telling you this
Speaker 1: is one bloods and cryptic. It wasn't like so when
Speaker 1: he's saying, and I'm saying, this is still meat, like
Speaker 1: nigga still like because now I would be like, hey, homie,
Speaker 1: a dog, it wouldn't be no a blood a cousin,
Speaker 1: But back then that's what it was. So it was
Speaker 1: like an evil look off. And then he looked at me,
Speaker 1: and he was like me and my homeboys, we funk
Speaker 1: with you good while you over here. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right. That's when I knew that my music had
Speaker 1: prevailed to the point to where I'm in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: when niggas could have my head. But the music means more,
Speaker 1: and they want to keep me around because they want
Speaker 1: to hear what else I can do. That's heavy that
Speaker 1: language though, But to even be in their hood showed
Speaker 1: a lot like what the nick even doing upter? That's this,
Speaker 1: that's this relative blood. That's all I'll keep you. That's
Speaker 1: this relative. It's my cousin. She didn't tell me she
Speaker 1: lived in a blood neighborhood. It's something in the morning,
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out I'm getting the funk out of here.
Speaker 1: Then I gotta walk downstairs and I got on all blue.
Speaker 1: I can't even change there ain't nothing to change into.
Speaker 1: Fuck it. What's happenings that? So we finally get to
Speaker 1: and where you drop your own album? Right, take me
Speaker 1: to that and just where you were? How old were
Speaker 1: you at that point? Twenty yep? Just now. My record
Speaker 1: came out in November. I had just turned two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what the chronic album was like that ship didn't feel
Speaker 1: like my record, but everybody was trying to make it
Speaker 1: like this show album. Like me, I don't think like that.
Speaker 1: This Dr Dre ship like I'm just happy to be
Speaker 1: a part of. But when I got done with my record,
Speaker 1: it was a different kind of feeling because it was
Speaker 1: like with Dre record, every nigger in America was bumping it.
Speaker 1: Well my record, White People was playing and that was
Speaker 1: crazy because it was like I always made music for everybody,
Speaker 1: but just to see the kids coming up to me
Speaker 1: like loving me, like it wasn't no fake ship. It
Speaker 1: wasn't no like we just like him. They're like, we
Speaker 1: love you, and our parents don't even want us to
Speaker 1: listen to your fucking music, and we're fucking listening to it,
Speaker 1: and they come to concerts and they're rocking out and
Speaker 1: die hards. And he gave me a different perspective on
Speaker 1: who I was and what I was supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm in the beginning. You know you're gonna
Speaker 1: be making making records for my niggers. I'm making records
Speaker 1: for the hood. But now I was like, hold on,
Speaker 1: I'm bigger than that. I got to make records for
Speaker 1: people and for the whole world. This so I was
Speaker 1: raised anyway, going back to my mom, going back to
Speaker 1: that circle. You know, your upbringing is what you're gonna
Speaker 1: become when you become a grown man. You know, shout
Speaker 1: out to all of the great mothers that raised great
Speaker 1: men that don't get credit, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because a lot of these great men had great women
Speaker 1: in their lives that shaped and molded them and gave
Speaker 1: us some concrete to stand. Though. This is crazy, it's
Speaker 1: facts though. Right when I say master p, what does
Speaker 1: that mean to you? Harriet Tubman mhm, underground railroad. Um,
Speaker 1: this nigga was the boy man you know I'm from.
Speaker 1: That's five hours he man and was giving him life. Right,
Speaker 1: that's a great way to put it too. He gave
Speaker 1: us life, man, and he put us all together. He
Speaker 1: freed us all and put us together because he knew
Speaker 1: our energy would match and we all was there for
Speaker 1: each other. It was like an all star team he built.
Speaker 1: And when he brought me up, I feel like I
Speaker 1: was like the first, you know, free agency in hip
Speaker 1: hop to actually execute the championship. A lot of niggas,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I'm being honest. I have
Speaker 1: to say it because ain't nobody gonna say it me. Nigger.
Speaker 1: I went from winning championship for death Row to no
Speaker 1: limit as the team that was winning at all, they
Speaker 1: was the motherfucking Warriors, Nigga, they was doing it, and
Speaker 1: I jumped right in and plug right on, right on.
Speaker 1: I plug right in, get my three in, did my
Speaker 1: three years. And they guess what I did when I
Speaker 1: finished with those three East Siders doggie style records in
Speaker 1: the chronic two thousand one. Back to another championship with
Speaker 1: my righteous owner, with the nigger that yestead I played
Speaker 1: with the best. But he got a new team. Now
Speaker 1: he got Eminem he got fifty cent, he got all
Speaker 1: these pieces. But remember I'm n G. So what do
Speaker 1: I do? I groom them. That's why they respect they
Speaker 1: g now when they all big dogs. Now Eminem's are
Speaker 1: goon in the game, fifty cent tycoon in the game,
Speaker 1: and they respect Snoop Dogg the same way they did
Speaker 1: when they first came in. No matter how big they
Speaker 1: get from the get go, I wasn't too big to
Speaker 1: say hello. A lot of niggas get too big to
Speaker 1: say hello. You know when you're so big and with
Speaker 1: that nigga, Now you better because he may take your
Speaker 1: spot one day. He may be the one, not the two.
Speaker 1: He's fifty as an executive. Now Nigga's on ABC, Hello,
Speaker 1: America's broadcast channel ABC. Let's transfer move over to your
Speaker 1: film career. You got a lot of movies. You play
Speaker 1: yourself a lot, but you in a lot of movies
Speaker 1: starts getting hut, which is one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1: I'll laugh at that. You know that that nigga really
Speaker 1: hit me in real life and starts hut. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take you to the scene. It was the golf course scene,
Speaker 1: me and Vince Vaughan. So when we were rehearsing, we
Speaker 1: rehearsing in the scene, it says, well, Vince is gonna
Speaker 1: say in line and then Snoop's character, Huckey Bear is
Speaker 1: going to interrupt him, and Vince is gonna say, hey,
Speaker 1: don't you interrupt me? So okay, me and the director,
Speaker 1: Tod Felters, we get to understand it. So it's time
Speaker 1: to shoot. So now we're on set. So Nigga like
Speaker 1: man and they saying his lines. I'm already and doing
Speaker 1: my ship and they can say something like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: that nigga said, he slapped the dog shit out of me.
Speaker 1: Nigg on my mama, he slapped the dog sh out
Speaker 1: of me. So that the nigga and me was from
Speaker 1: the punch him right. But the actor in me, I
Speaker 1: sold it, you sold it was like, and I shrug
Speaker 1: it off and I went to my next line and
Speaker 1: I did that ship and I killed your nigga, and
Speaker 1: they was like cutting. Everybody started clapping and the nigga,
Speaker 1: Vince Vaughan hugged me, tied his mother fuck said, man,
Speaker 1: don't don't kill me. Man. I just felt the urge. Man,
Speaker 1: just feel like I said, you told the urge you
Speaker 1: dog here, motherfucker. You slapped the ship out of mecause
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you're on the set of a
Speaker 1: movie and you're working with real actors. Ship like that
Speaker 1: just happened. I said, I don't want to be no
Speaker 1: more real actors. Put me with some niggas. Man coming
Speaker 1: hard of some the body. But what's it like to like,
Speaker 1: I said, So you're transitioning from the streets to a
Speaker 1: global superstar and then now you're sucking round. Now you
Speaker 1: in movies like, tell me what's what's going through your
Speaker 1: mind during this time? Matt, you know what's crazy because
Speaker 1: I always from church, my aunt das Mama, my Auntie Elane,
Speaker 1: and church. She used to always put us in place.
Speaker 1: She used to always put us in theatrical ship where
Speaker 1: we have to either play characters or memorize lines or
Speaker 1: be somebody famous for Black history. Benjamin Bannaker uh uh,
Speaker 1: James Washington Carver, all kind of motherfuckers that we had,
Speaker 1: Frederick Ducks. We had to do research on these people
Speaker 1: that we have to become them, and we have to
Speaker 1: act like them. We have to present that. Then when
Speaker 1: I went to school, I did like certain things in
Speaker 1: school that certain classes that I took that would give
Speaker 1: me the opportunity to to give a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: Then when I became a rapper, rappers had personality. When
Speaker 1: I came out, all of them, it was never a
Speaker 1: dead dull rapper. Niggas couldn't just be yeah, hey, we
Speaker 1: ain't yeah yeah. Niggas had personality. Look that style, they
Speaker 1: had all that ship that was like flatboyant, like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like that ship. So it's like
Speaker 1: when I got a chance to act. I was like,
Speaker 1: I never went to act in school, but I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna blow the opportunity and my reputation is. And you
Speaker 1: can ask anybody that's ever worked with me on the
Speaker 1: movie set is Snoop Dogg comes to the set and
Speaker 1: he knows your lines, your lines, your lines and his lines,
Speaker 1: and the motherfucker is flawless. I just did a movie
Speaker 1: with Eddie Murphy, nigger, and I ain't bragging. I'm just
Speaker 1: giving you some facts. When we first hit the set,
Speaker 1: it's the first day. Nigga say action. True. Nigga said,
Speaker 1: hold on, let me one more time, action one more time.
Speaker 1: Damn Snoop Dogg got a nigga rattle. Damn nigga, Boss,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be rattled by you. You understand me.
Speaker 1: Boom knocking out the part, Boo wo whoop. Come back
Speaker 1: to the thing like, Nigga, you're a professional nigga the
Speaker 1: way you and to me, I ain't did nothing but
Speaker 1: just what I'm supposed to do. But to an onlooker,
Speaker 1: and the motherfucker has been doing this ship for a
Speaker 1: long time. The way I do it with is and
Speaker 1: the way I get it done, it's like nigga, this
Speaker 1: is what you meant to do. Like certain niggas on
Speaker 1: the b ball court, they just gifted. Like some thing
Speaker 1: has gotta practice and ship and all the left and
Speaker 1: weights and all this extra ship. That something is just
Speaker 1: like right there, that's the dunk on the nigga. Something
Speaker 1: has just gotta do mode than others, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And then something has just naturally got it,
Speaker 1: man Like, it's just like that. Like I look at
Speaker 1: y'all the niggas that made to the NBA, right, how
Speaker 1: many motherfuckers didn't make it? That was better than y'all. Know.
Speaker 1: A lot of my is maiden, most of them in jail.
Speaker 1: They were way colder than me. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of the way you did it
Speaker 1: at ease I had, but you did it at ease too.
Speaker 1: The favor gonna give it to you. But you still
Speaker 1: gotta do what at ease because if you do it
Speaker 1: reckless and you're gonna lose favor. Yeah, almost poked it
Speaker 1: off a couple of times. We almost right here and
Speaker 1: perfect combination. What was the best acting experience swords people
Speaker 1: you got to work with you felt, was it you
Speaker 1: just spoken. What was that probably coming to America to
Speaker 1: you telling about no dollar? Miite? Okay, okay. But the
Speaker 1: people that I had the great experience of working with.
Speaker 1: One of them was Fred Williamson. That's the hammer played
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl one, played a super Bowl one. He
Speaker 1: was a star, he was a lieutenant. But he told
Speaker 1: me because I had a long conversation with him, and um,
Speaker 1: I was like, Fred, I really want to start doing
Speaker 1: this acting thing. Heavy. What should I you know, do
Speaker 1: wishould request or whatnot? Because I just want to be
Speaker 1: good at what I do. He said, look here, young man,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. When I started making movies,
Speaker 1: it was three things that had to happen. Well, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't funk with the movie. I got to win all
Speaker 1: my fights. Got to win all my fights, that's number one.
Speaker 1: Got the funk all the pretty girls I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: that's number two. And I got to live all three
Speaker 1: of them. Things got to happen in the movie for
Speaker 1: me to be in them. And I looked at every
Speaker 1: movie this nigga was in and it's the same, and
Speaker 1: they get beating up niggas from the beginning, sucking a
Speaker 1: bad bit in the middle, and that nigga lives at
Speaker 1: the end and in that time. But just listen to
Speaker 1: them in that time and in real life nigga would
Speaker 1: get beat up. We're gonna take your bit, and you're
Speaker 1: dead by the end of the movie. These are three
Speaker 1: things that's happening to you. Black actors, get that part
Speaker 1: in your head. So somebody had to create a stigma
Speaker 1: of hold on, we wanna see some superheroes that look
Speaker 1: like us. That's where the super Fly in the Shafts
Speaker 1: and the Black Dynamites and the Dollar Mites, that's where
Speaker 1: they come from. Because it had to be somebody that
Speaker 1: set the trend on You're not gonna do me like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be in it. So that's why when
Speaker 1: I got to a certain point of doing movies, I
Speaker 1: pulled back from Hollywood because they always wanted to kill
Speaker 1: a nigga. They wanted me to die in the movie
Speaker 1: the last movie I died in. Me and John Singleton
Speaker 1: had to understand it. It was like, look, I really
Speaker 1: don't want to die in no more movies because because
Speaker 1: I just don't like the spirit of that ship. I
Speaker 1: like to live. He was like nigga the way you're
Speaker 1: gonna die in this movie, Nigga, You're gonna live forever?
Speaker 1: And what was I to do? Nigga Rottney from Baby.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of your movies, like you got thirteen
Speaker 1: appearances where you play your self, the cameos is harder
Speaker 1: because what you don't want to do is you don't
Speaker 1: want to do the same ship twice. Like I could
Speaker 1: play me, but I could. I got different versions of me.
Speaker 1: So you've seen me and Reincordnated, which is the reggae
Speaker 1: version of me. Then you see me in the Bible
Speaker 1: of Love, which is the Gospel me. You see me
Speaker 1: and Coach Snoop, which is the coach version of me.
Speaker 1: You see me and some gangster ship shooting the nigger.
Speaker 1: You see me and some pimp ship. So it's like,
Speaker 1: it's different versions of me that I can give you,
Speaker 1: but I gotta know when, nah, I can't do that.
Speaker 1: That ain't cool, nah, because it was one movie that
Speaker 1: I just got that they wrote it for me to
Speaker 1: play Snoop Dogg, but I changed it up and made
Speaker 1: my name Lingerie because he was more profound for what
Speaker 1: I was doing. You did and it pay it all all?
Speaker 1: That't the writer credit. You gotta know what the mix
Speaker 1: and master ship, what you touched on. Its crazy, though,
Speaker 1: because there are so many different versions of you, and
Speaker 1: you get paid for every different version of who you are.
Speaker 1: You touched the gospel realm, you've touched the reggae realm.
Speaker 1: You've touched the gangster wrap realm. You've touched the family
Speaker 1: comedy like you've done all that. You showed the eight
Speaker 1: or nine different sides, but all them people always have
Speaker 1: a lot of different size, but they don't get paid
Speaker 1: for every motherfucker's side they got. You get paid for
Speaker 1: every side you got. You also want the MVP of
Speaker 1: the Hey, Jack, I do this basketball show. I gotta
Speaker 1: give your proberts. Don't don't talk about that. You probably
Speaker 1: was one of the oldest that all them young entertainment.
Speaker 1: You got it dubbed up on them and you got
Speaker 1: the win. Yeah, but you know what it is. They
Speaker 1: scared me on that ESPN Celebrity Basketball Ship. They'd be
Speaker 1: always having them whenies out there and all we don't
Speaker 1: really wants and motherfucker's that don't get down nigga and
Speaker 1: they have one nigga that's good going out there putting
Speaker 1: up twenty five. I'm like they put some real nick
Speaker 1: us out there. Man Quabo had a good game in
Speaker 1: his spot. That motherfucked our legend. Shout out about the
Speaker 1: ship Nigga, that young niggas ship. Hear me, like, I
Speaker 1: give props to niggas that deserve that young nigga is
Speaker 1: ship man. He put together some fly ship with Nigga
Speaker 1: was out there competing and getting it in. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about like, come on, man, but Snoop came in. It
Speaker 1: came to the game hotp what I played in some
Speaker 1: of these put it up and left, came killed for
Speaker 1: like ten minutes, yeah, then left. That was it. Next
Speaker 1: thing you know, people like where Snoop bad? My chucks?
Speaker 1: It ran out of game on the flat now. But
Speaker 1: he came in instantly. You must have stretched in the sprinter.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, we were came in. We we we
Speaker 1: keep you loose, man, We keep really stretch it really
Speaker 1: do clastic. Tell me what it's like working with Martha Stewart.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Martha Stewart. She's like your coolest aunty man, right,
Speaker 1: you know, like when your mom drop you off and
Speaker 1: be like I'm taking you down aunty house to stay
Speaker 1: over there for a couple of days, You're like, oh, thanks, Mom,
Speaker 1: it's the coolest motherfucking aunty. She's gonna let this just
Speaker 1: come over and she's gonna cook for nig and she's gonna, man,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like just cool fool cool like.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, she's real educational. So if
Speaker 1: I'm doing something wrong, but if I'm out of adequate,
Speaker 1: she always gets me back in order and puts me
Speaker 1: back in place. And but if I'm doing something right,
Speaker 1: she's quick to compliment me and give me all of
Speaker 1: the love that I need. So her spirit is genuine,
Speaker 1: is beautiful and just. You would have never thought, But
Speaker 1: if you really know good people, you would always thought
Speaker 1: that we deserve each other just like any other. Two
Speaker 1: people that you may not know. Put them in the
Speaker 1: room together, let them talk and see what happens. Pretty
Speaker 1: sure they love the same things, and they probably the
Speaker 1: best of friends if you let them communicate. Shout out mother,
Speaker 1: stood man, she went and did a time like a
Speaker 1: real one. Yeah, she said, six nines a bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out Martha. Because he told and she don't know nothing.
Speaker 1: Martha said, take these two and put him behind my back.
Speaker 1: Pull up, Martha. You welcome on all the smoke any time,
Speaker 1: any time. Bring some some some of that infused. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What's the challenges? The challenges from transition the gangster wrapped
Speaker 1: to being like a global star like me personally, like
Speaker 1: being a basketball player like a lot of people, and
Speaker 1: he don't even know how to ship. I've been through,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. As far as I'm perfect example,
Speaker 1: I'm probably the only basketball playing in history that went
Speaker 1: got nine hard at this part in the house while
Speaker 1: the house getting reidy, see what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: know you've seen, you've seen, We've seen different ships, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't see you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So being growing up in that then becoming this global
Speaker 1: star going around the world doing how did that transition? Like?
Speaker 1: Was it hard? It was real hard because it's not
Speaker 1: you all the time. It's the company you keep. And
Speaker 1: a lot of times when we make it, we like
Speaker 1: to break. Everybody would us, and this ship ain't for everybody,
Speaker 1: and we gotta learn the hard way. Sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: we get lawsuits, we get certain things that happened based
Speaker 1: off of the company that we keep. So we gotta
Speaker 1: learn how to separate and elevate at the same time.
Speaker 1: Some of the people that you brain definitely deserve to
Speaker 1: be there and gonna roll with you, But it's got
Speaker 1: to be about you first. You gotta get your game together,
Speaker 1: and then once you get your life right and get
Speaker 1: situated and organized, then you can start plugging and playing
Speaker 1: everybody else that's important in your life. And that usually
Speaker 1: is the wrong thing that we do. We try to
Speaker 1: plug everybody else up before we get our own feet
Speaker 1: planet and end up losing it all because somebody did somewhere.
Speaker 1: You gotta end up paying laws. So you gotta do this.
Speaker 1: You gotta help this and help that one. You didn't
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with nothing. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: learned everybody ad meant to benefit off your blessing. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We we we got we grow
Speaker 1: with We grow up with big hearts, and we grow
Speaker 1: up with big families, and we talked to love and
Speaker 1: try to take care of everybody. But on the way
Speaker 1: to success, you found out the hard way that that
Speaker 1: ain't the way to do it. You want to pull
Speaker 1: everybody else, but everybody ain't meant to benefit out your blessing.
Speaker 1: And we learned at the hardway. Well, I like to
Speaker 1: use Lebron James is a great example of how he
Speaker 1: put niggas to work. He gave a spot, but he
Speaker 1: gave him you have to work. We didn't do that.
Speaker 1: We gave my home was a sack and the job,
Speaker 1: and we gave him the money. We gave him the
Speaker 1: bag money and we ain't gotta do nothing or you security.
Speaker 1: We ain't securing ship, running niggas off, running my fans off,
Speaker 1: Like come on, man, like we gotta be better than that.
Speaker 1: Like Lebron did a good thing. He talked how to
Speaker 1: like self empower like they don't even need him no more,
Speaker 1: Like that's how I supposed to be the right way,
Speaker 1: Like how do you not need me? M Because I
Speaker 1: wouldn't put my foot down off of what you gave me.
Speaker 1: But that's why he got he so respected by athletes,
Speaker 1: basket you know, rappers, everybody, because he did it the
Speaker 1: right way. So many of us, me personally, I brought
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of homeboards and me when I came
Speaker 1: into the league and was thinking that same idea Lebron
Speaker 1: was thinking. But we didn't have the game plan, we
Speaker 1: didn't have the blueprint, you know what I'm saying, We didn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't have the smarts. And to be honest, we
Speaker 1: didn't have the intelligence. You know what I'm saying. We
Speaker 1: were two in the street. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We we we we We still had that nigga that
Speaker 1: that nigga mentality, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: so to see him do it, that's why I give
Speaker 1: him so many props because I know so many people
Speaker 1: came along and couldn't get it done. That's you gotta
Speaker 1: give him because he's the blueprint. I mean, that's the
Speaker 1: way you want to do it. Like as an old dog,
Speaker 1: I could look at his blueprint and say, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a couple of pages out of your book came
Speaker 1: do you mind? You understand what I'm saying Like that,
Speaker 1: And that's how I'm supposed to be. Why you can
Speaker 1: always teach your old dog a new trick if he's
Speaker 1: willing to listen. Wow, So creating basically a whole genre
Speaker 1: of music in the nineties to what music is today.
Speaker 1: I heard you speak on another podcast, Shout Out Arian
Speaker 1: Foster Shout Out Arian Dope Dope interview. You talked about
Speaker 1: one of the your the commissioner of this thing. Where
Speaker 1: do you feel the state of music was from the
Speaker 1: rules and the way the game used to be to
Speaker 1: what is that now? I think it's just less structure
Speaker 1: because it's so easy access, meaning that anybody can get in.
Speaker 1: Like it used to be at time to be a
Speaker 1: musician you had to have everything look um, communication, skills, dance,
Speaker 1: um talent, talent I mean I mean not to mention,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I'm saying. When it was
Speaker 1: things that that that were a part of your criteria
Speaker 1: that had to come with the package in order if
Speaker 1: you'd even get listened to by anybody that was serious.
Speaker 1: And then it became uh point where you could do
Speaker 1: it yourself. But then you start watering it down when
Speaker 1: you've got so many people doing it themselves and who
Speaker 1: have never been trained and don't know that the understanding
Speaker 1: of the dynamics of what music is so now that
Speaker 1: anybody and everybody can do it. There are no rules
Speaker 1: of regulations. That's why mother's come in the game and
Speaker 1: be hot and then turned snitch and still be liked.
Speaker 1: What the fuck like? What the funk kind of ship
Speaker 1: is a rat? Don't y'all watch movies cheese like rats. Man, Please,
Speaker 1: I despise. I need some D con Remember Mohammed Ali
Speaker 1: had the d coon trap a motherfucking rat. It's a
Speaker 1: new time, man, It's insane. But then if you speak
Speaker 1: on of you a hater, right because you don't understand
Speaker 1: his fan base. What do you got a bunch of
Speaker 1: rats niggas? What's happening? What goes with this ship here? Man?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not even gonna try to understand it.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stick to the rules and regulations that
Speaker 1: apply to me and my g code and just continue
Speaker 1: to do what I'm doing. And you know, I know
Speaker 1: that it will stand the test of time because I
Speaker 1: stood the test of time. And that's why I've been
Speaker 1: able to because I I go by the golden rule.
Speaker 1: I do me. I mean to me. Rap music is
Speaker 1: so influential that what you guys are rapping about back
Speaker 1: in the day people were doing. Now what they're rapping
Speaker 1: about is these pills and these heavy drugs getting kids addicted.
Speaker 1: And then people are dropping off artists and their fans, Like,
Speaker 1: what is your thought about the way the drug game
Speaker 1: is glorified in current music? Well, remember when I got
Speaker 1: in crack. Cocaine was out of high So what my
Speaker 1: mission was was to make this the forefront and the
Speaker 1: kill crack, because I sold crack and I've seen the
Speaker 1: effects of what it did and how it really It
Speaker 1: sucked a lot of my homies up, homies and bitches
Speaker 1: and everybody just sucked him all the way up. So
Speaker 1: I was like, let's push this and put this in
Speaker 1: the universe and making a better world. And it did.
Speaker 1: Like everybody was on weed, like it's legalized now, you're
Speaker 1: welcome from the chronic to hear. So our energy was
Speaker 1: get them off of that, get them on this, and
Speaker 1: get everybody communicating, because one thing about this it brings
Speaker 1: all of us together. Look at all the people in
Speaker 1: this room right now on a fucking weed show. Everybody
Speaker 1: feeling good too, but everybody loving their job though, like
Speaker 1: it's sat one of the test jobs where you're like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go fucking work with Stephen Jackson, fucking Matt Barnes,
Speaker 1: those fuckers gotta fucking take ship from those Fox all
Speaker 1: day fuck and nobody's saying that ship. Nigga's like, well,
Speaker 1: y'all going ship, We're going to work with madd and
Speaker 1: Jack nigger ain't really be doing ship with just you
Speaker 1: know whatever the fun stand right here and hold his
Speaker 1: camera for about minutes and and heal all this good content.
Speaker 1: Yeah zo being and out every once in a while,
Speaker 1: and then ship and I guess I'm done. I already
Speaker 1: know what it is, man, this is the best life.
Speaker 1: Tell me what Sugar, the good and bad uh did
Speaker 1: on the influence of your life, the sugar Knight, I'll
Speaker 1: speak on the good because everybody know the bad. The
Speaker 1: good is that he talked ownership, he talked strength, he
Speaker 1: talked unity, he talked um being a fucking man, Like,
Speaker 1: that's key, being a fucking man. How about that? Like,
Speaker 1: and that goes a long way, because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of motherfucker's that's not teaching you to be a man,
Speaker 1: and I'll just leave that there. But teaching you how
Speaker 1: to be a man in this industry when his industry
Speaker 1: don't give a funk about nobody. This industry treat everybody
Speaker 1: the same either you're pamper, your whole and now in between.
Speaker 1: So for him to teach us how to be men
Speaker 1: helped us break the stigma if you're gonna be a
Speaker 1: pimp or whole You're gonna be a man first, So
Speaker 1: you're not gonna give me the bullshit as deals. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna talk to me anyway, You're not gonna do
Speaker 1: me any kind of way. I'm a musician first. This
Speaker 1: is my art. This is what I love to do,
Speaker 1: just like the for the foundation before us, to Sam Cooks,
Speaker 1: the James Brown's, the people that fought for this ship,
Speaker 1: that own their own ship, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like he was one of them, motherfucker's to teach us
Speaker 1: how to keep the foundation going. Nowhere you could have
Speaker 1: strong record label owners like MASTERP, Cash Money and any
Speaker 1: other label that came behind that was able to that
Speaker 1: was able to just do that ship. The rapper I
Speaker 1: was here before us, So j Prince was like, you know,
Speaker 1: he was in the game, him and Uncle. Look, the
Speaker 1: Niggas was there before us, but anybody after us. Sure,
Speaker 1: Knight basically gave the niggas foundation on how to be
Speaker 1: how to be men in this industry. Y'all made great
Speaker 1: music together. But I mean what you in pox relationship
Speaker 1: was like because as you touched on earlier, you guys
Speaker 1: are kind of on two different paths. When you guys
Speaker 1: really really started rocking. Nah. See, when we really started
Speaker 1: rocking was before death Row. That's how he got to
Speaker 1: death Row. We really started rocking when um and Michael
Speaker 1: Rappaport was there, when I fucking Mattie at the Poetic
Speaker 1: Justice Rappart. Yeah, Ricky Harris was the fucking like MC
Speaker 1: or the the host at night and I grew up
Speaker 1: with Ricky Harris. That's my cousin. Yeah, when I get
Speaker 1: to the party, Ricky Harris is dead. John Sam went
Speaker 1: to Janet Jackson all the Stars and ship is there
Speaker 1: and they got like a DJ booth and they got
Speaker 1: like a microphone. So Ricky Harris grabbed the mike and
Speaker 1: he know I get out, so he liked, yeah, I
Speaker 1: got more. My cousin, sloop rock in the house and
Speaker 1: who whoa whoa and then pockets right here. So and
Speaker 1: then when Ricky finishing what he's saying, Tiga pot grabbed
Speaker 1: the mike and started rapping. I'm like nigga out with
Speaker 1: my intro. So when he but it say it's a
Speaker 1: little blind, I grabbed a mic and I started rapping.
Speaker 1: Then he grabbed a mic and store, this is one mic, nigga.
Speaker 1: This is when they only had one mic, so they
Speaker 1: had to wait patiently and kindly and didn't grab it
Speaker 1: with aggression. After Nigga finished, Nigga said, so, then then
Speaker 1: we're rapping and rapping, so we both go about like
Speaker 1: four five times. Then we stopped and then my nigga
Speaker 1: lay Law from above. The Law was there and he
Speaker 1: walked us outside and he was like, Snoop, did you
Speaker 1: meet my nigga. I'm like, nah, what's up? Shooking nigger
Speaker 1: hand and they could roll the blunt. I'm like, Nigga,
Speaker 1: what's that. Ain't like Nigga's a blunt. And Nigga rolled
Speaker 1: the blunt lick that motherfucking lit it smoke that motherfucker.
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me get your number. Come, I let
Speaker 1: you got his number. Maybe like a month later, I
Speaker 1: finally called him and I'm like, what's happening, what's up
Speaker 1: with you? Like, I'm at the house some frying some shrimp.
Speaker 1: They could come by. He was in the scene though,
Speaker 1: and they got a house full of Niggas he was
Speaker 1: frying shrimp, they got flowering ship in his hands. It's
Speaker 1: the first time I gonna funk with him and the
Speaker 1: nigga like you ever see my movie. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: theyre using the movie. He's like, yeah, they got got
Speaker 1: a movie called Juice, Nigga. I'm like, let me see
Speaker 1: it because and they gave me a big ass laser disc.
Speaker 1: That's when laser dis is out. And this motherfucker was
Speaker 1: about this big nigga was squared. He gave me that
Speaker 1: motherfucker I ticket to the house and and DC had
Speaker 1: a laser this player too. Put that motherfuck in. They
Speaker 1: could watch Juice and fell in love with that nigger.
Speaker 1: I was like, cud this nigga hall, Me and all
Speaker 1: the homie start listened to this nigga music, getting all
Speaker 1: this ship. Me and them started hanging out, started fucking.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't even fucking with him. And I did my record
Speaker 1: that I did, the Murder was the Case soundtrack, and
Speaker 1: I wanted this song he had called how many do
Speaker 1: you see life so hard on the nigga when you're
Speaker 1: living like a g I wanted that song bad, and
Speaker 1: he was like, Nigga, I paid him thirty five thousand.
Speaker 1: I man suld get him thirty five thousand. Sugar was like, Nigga,
Speaker 1: who is this nigga? We're give him thirty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to this motherfucker. Ain't ship, I said, man paid
Speaker 1: the nigga. Man this nigga the ship. The song is bombed,
Speaker 1: So sug pay him. Nigga. We didn't even use the song,
Speaker 1: my mom. We didn't use the song because he rapped
Speaker 1: on the song. But I wanted to rap on the song,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I was debating when I wanted
Speaker 1: to use him, and and it got too late and
Speaker 1: we didn't use it. But long story short, when he
Speaker 1: got back out and got on death Row, I had
Speaker 1: already paid for so I used the song and I
Speaker 1: did the lyrics over on the the movie that he
Speaker 1: was on before he died, the oneing that are a lot.
Speaker 1: What was the name of that movie, Yeah, yeah, Gridline.
Speaker 1: It was on that motherfucker's Gridlock, and we used it
Speaker 1: for that. But I had paid the nigger like oh
Speaker 1: years before that. And this is when Sugar wasn't sucking
Speaker 1: with him. Sugars like, don't get that nigga all that
Speaker 1: money my cause he's worth it. Cause so he was
Speaker 1: my friend before death row, right, so building a brotherhood
Speaker 1: with him. So when he was locked up, naturally, I
Speaker 1: spoke to Sugar and was like, we need to get
Speaker 1: Cuss out and put him with us because he will
Speaker 1: make us better and he's gonna push me and he's
Speaker 1: just the ship just because we need his spirit here.
Speaker 1: So that was the first successful free agency acquisition that
Speaker 1: I acquired with Sugar Knight as like a general manager
Speaker 1: to bring Cuds to the squad and then put him
Speaker 1: on the team and say Dash stop, dog father, get
Speaker 1: that nigga everything, And that was the best thing to
Speaker 1: Happitune was dash right. People don't know that give him everything.
Speaker 1: Gave everything. The Dads was hungry right at that time though,
Speaker 1: because Dre was like the man and Dads wanted. Dads
Speaker 1: has got that complex about it where he don't like
Speaker 1: being too. He want to be the one, so he
Speaker 1: couldn't come after me because I'm his cousin, so naturally
Speaker 1: he want to come at the production. So he producing
Speaker 1: horror and trying to make ship. That's like on the
Speaker 1: level of Dr Draft, not better than Dr Drell, trying
Speaker 1: to get to that level. You know, that's that drive,
Speaker 1: that's that competitive spirit of having great niggers on your team.
Speaker 1: It pushes you to be great. You got a bunch
Speaker 1: of sorry motherfucker's on your team, you're gonna be sorry.
Speaker 1: That's why the teams that can't win. It's a look
Speaker 1: at the bench. I'm sorry, motherfucker's over there. But then
Speaker 1: look in the office too, right, Nipsey hustle his legs.
Speaker 1: And what does his legacy mean to you? Nipsey leaves
Speaker 1: the legacy of gangsterism, uh, business education mentorship in future?
Speaker 1: Um just because he touched on everything and I spoke
Speaker 1: oh and he knew it, like we didn't know it
Speaker 1: what nobody really knowing? How deep? Cause was while he
Speaker 1: was here, we was rolling wood, he so we was
Speaker 1: enjoying the experience. So when you fully get to enjoy
Speaker 1: the experience, then you understand because all while we was listening,
Speaker 1: we was making our own music and we was doing
Speaker 1: other ships, so we couldn't listen like we listened to
Speaker 1: it when he passed away, we listened to it with
Speaker 1: a understanding because we ain't gonna hear him again. So
Speaker 1: now you understand it. He knew what he was saying
Speaker 1: because he could have said anything. Why would he say that?
Speaker 1: Why would he write that? He knew? Like we all
Speaker 1: know when I write what I right, I wrote murder
Speaker 1: was the case before it happened. I didn't wan't no
Speaker 1: murder case to happen. Yeah, but I knew that death
Speaker 1: was around me. So I had to write it to
Speaker 1: where I could survive. It's the only way I could
Speaker 1: write it. Everybody else was writing their death. Listen to
Speaker 1: my peers in ninety three. They all write about their
Speaker 1: death Snoop Dogg the only one that didn't die does
Speaker 1: he had a relationship with God. I prayed to God
Speaker 1: in that song, despite making a deal with the devil,
Speaker 1: but I prayed to God. That's game. M. You've spoke
Speaker 1: in the past about people like yourself, Jay Puff, really
Speaker 1: coming together, unified and really doing some meaningful ship speak
Speaker 1: on that um. That's just being together means a lot
Speaker 1: because the world don't never get a chance to see
Speaker 1: all of these black business minds collaborate. You know, we
Speaker 1: always do a song with he may got a song
Speaker 1: with him, He did this with him. But to collaborate
Speaker 1: on some business that can last forever, it's important because
Speaker 1: it it shows brotherhood and it builds something that's gonna
Speaker 1: last forever because we all don't lose. You got people
Speaker 1: that don't lose coming together. That's something that's eternal, and
Speaker 1: it's not even an ego thing. It's about who's gonna
Speaker 1: be mad enough to say, let's do it. I always
Speaker 1: bring it to the table, everybody knowing the life of
Speaker 1: the party. When I come in, I always pushed the
Speaker 1: line up, let's do something together. What's your initiatives so
Speaker 1: I can help you first and foremost what you need
Speaker 1: me to do for you? All right? Cool, that we
Speaker 1: got that out the way. Here's what I want to
Speaker 1: do with you. Let's get some money. How about that?
Speaker 1: Everything that a conversation about that. That's one thing that
Speaker 1: people don't know is how insane your hustle is and
Speaker 1: how many different things you got your hand in. And
Speaker 1: really it's and I've seen you in action when you're
Speaker 1: when you're in the process of deals and situations, you're
Speaker 1: really just being you and open these people eyes up
Speaker 1: to a whole new avenue. You know. I heard you're
Speaker 1: in the text pace now and they want you to
Speaker 1: come speak to tech stuff. And but like you said,
Speaker 1: you can't give all that game away for free. You
Speaker 1: don't know. They gotta break bread effect there, they know it.
Speaker 1: I need to bag and I need a piece of
Speaker 1: some of these companies in there. But it's very important
Speaker 1: to know your brand and know your worth because a
Speaker 1: lot of times we've been used. And you know, for example,
Speaker 1: an athlete that went to a certain college on university.
Speaker 1: When he's at that university, he makes that university millions
Speaker 1: of dollars because he plays his ass off on the
Speaker 1: basketball court to football field. He wins in the championship.
Speaker 1: He doesn't make it in the NFL with the NBA.
Speaker 1: How does that athlete continue to make money? The university
Speaker 1: ain't gonna pay because they ain't been paying. But if
Speaker 1: he was smart, he was branding while he was at
Speaker 1: the school. He was aden up ship while he was
Speaker 1: there to position itself to him when he finishes, the alumni,
Speaker 1: the state, the city, the community gonna give him some
Speaker 1: sort of business or something to tie him into making
Speaker 1: money because he was so impactful to that position at
Speaker 1: that school that's constantly growing and getting big deals year
Speaker 1: after year. But if you ain't talked that, you only
Speaker 1: concerned with the moment. That's why I say the difference
Speaker 1: between the u c l A Kid and the USC kid.
Speaker 1: The u c l A kid is always thinking futuristic
Speaker 1: and what's ahead of me, the USC kids that I've
Speaker 1: dealt with always about the moment, and we gotta break
Speaker 1: that and start thinking about how to do things together
Speaker 1: and be about us as a brotherhood and not just
Speaker 1: about the moment. And what can I do for now? Now?
Speaker 1: What can I do that's gonna last when I'm gone?
Speaker 1: That's the key, you think, because us, us in the hood,
Speaker 1: got something to do with it. I think you are
Speaker 1: seeing the hood has a lot to do with it.
Speaker 1: But I just think the mentality of the professors, the
Speaker 1: teachings and the alumni in the direction everything runs from
Speaker 1: up top. So however the ship is ran up top,
Speaker 1: his eye is gonna get to you on the bottom.
Speaker 1: And the way it's ran up top and U s
Speaker 1: l A, I just feel like it's more of a
Speaker 1: brotherhood and the fraternity and we got your backing. We're
Speaker 1: there for you, Like as C is, all right, what
Speaker 1: have you done for me lately? Because they banned some
Speaker 1: of my niggas that won national championships, they can't even
Speaker 1: come up there. How the funk y'all gonna do that?
Speaker 1: But I can go up there. I ain't want ship
Speaker 1: for y'all. I ain't done nothing. I ain't even went
Speaker 1: to one day of class. My picture on the wall,
Speaker 1: you know, so you're using me. But the motherfucker that
Speaker 1: brought kids didn't brought money there. I don't got no
Speaker 1: action what I'm supposed to do? Be happy my faces
Speaker 1: on the wall. It a funk about that. I got
Speaker 1: three humeboys that went to U s l A. Him
Speaker 1: bearing Enrico, and I didn't made money with all of them,
Speaker 1: all of all of them got something going on, all
Speaker 1: them smart brothers, you know. So you see he realized that,
Speaker 1: you know, his son came over. You've seen him in
Speaker 1: plenty of jerseys that you know, he realized that, you know,
Speaker 1: better late than never. So what what would I would
Speaker 1: have went? If I had went to college matt Where
Speaker 1: I would have went? I used to have a couple
Speaker 1: of chicks over that way, I wouldn't triple, you know, football.
Speaker 1: So I feel like there's been a few points, as
Speaker 1: fans we know, kind of turney points in your life,
Speaker 1: you know, being acquitted a murderer, um and then the
Speaker 1: trip you made to Jamaica and when you came you
Speaker 1: came out of that. It's a snoop. Lying as you say,
Speaker 1: Blessed Star talk to me about how those experiences kind
Speaker 1: of shaped your adulthood. Was the acquittal shake your livelihood?
Speaker 1: You know, my wife, which was my girlfriend at the time,
Speaker 1: was pregnant with a little snoop and Spank was born.
Speaker 1: So it was me looking at am I gonna be
Speaker 1: a part of these kids lives? And if I do
Speaker 1: get opportunity, how am I gonna be different? How am
Speaker 1: I gonna be better? And once I did get acquitted,
Speaker 1: my whole mission was to be a better person, a
Speaker 1: better man, and if that meant cutting certain people out
Speaker 1: of my life, that's what it meant, like with a quickness.
Speaker 1: So you know, when you got things like that where
Speaker 1: life is on the line, it's easy to make a decision,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And that was like it
Speaker 1: was real for me, but at the same time, it
Speaker 1: was necessary because that's what kept me alive because without it,
Speaker 1: AUTO went back to doing the same bullshit and probably
Speaker 1: being cut down. But realizing and um making changes and
Speaker 1: being a better person. I was able to create, like
Speaker 1: a football league all kind of ship from that negative
Speaker 1: this man from all of that and then the reincordnated situation.
Speaker 1: Jamaica was in the beginning, I just wanted to go
Speaker 1: out there and just experience something other than the hotel
Speaker 1: room because I used to always go out there and
Speaker 1: just hanging the room. So from doing a record to
Speaker 1: being affected by the people that took me to the
Speaker 1: not being e temple, something hit my spirit. Man. It
Speaker 1: was like I came there open anyway, so I wasn't
Speaker 1: like trying to like not find nothing. I was there
Speaker 1: looking and it found me. And Rostafari was like, it
Speaker 1: was who I was, Like, you don't know who you
Speaker 1: are and you travel, and when I seen other things
Speaker 1: and seen what it was about and how it was
Speaker 1: actually who I was, it helped me to get a
Speaker 1: better vision on what I was supposed to be do
Speaker 1: one and I was in two thousand eleven. So look
Speaker 1: at two thousand eleven snoop line to where I'm at
Speaker 1: now two thousand. All of the great things that I've done,
Speaker 1: all of the the up the uproar of things that
Speaker 1: I've done better people helped Cared tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit more about your league, because I mean that was
Speaker 1: something that was started. You know, I know your son
Speaker 1: played and you didn't really like the league and then
Speaker 1: but just really more creating a league for neighborhood to
Speaker 1: keep these kids out of troubling. Ha. Man, your kids
Speaker 1: are going on to professional careers. Where the league was
Speaker 1: created in two thousand and five just because I wanted
Speaker 1: to create a league that could help out single parents
Speaker 1: and you know, people from the hood that really didn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of money. Football was like three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars per kid to play when I started my league,
Speaker 1: So if there were three kids in one house, you
Speaker 1: look at about a thousand hours for one parent to
Speaker 1: pay for football, not to mention cleats and love pieces
Speaker 1: and jerseys and on kind of extracurriculuship you gotta get.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to figure a way to make
Speaker 1: a league that could have great football, have good organizations,
Speaker 1: and have a nice price connected to it. But grades
Speaker 1: was implemented, so you had to have a two point
Speaker 1: or g p A to play. But if you maintain
Speaker 1: a two point on g p A, your parents would
Speaker 1: have to pay one hundred dollars for you to play.
Speaker 1: But if there were two kids in the house, the
Speaker 1: second kid was fifty dollars. So and this was a
Speaker 1: clause that we put in. Matt and Jack, your cousins
Speaker 1: y'all don't stay together. But Matt, mom are gonna pay
Speaker 1: for you to play. So hunting for Matt fifty for you.
Speaker 1: That's the plan Buck fifty. So you see how took
Speaker 1: the price and sliced it in had But I put
Speaker 1: Grazes the initiative. So it wasn't just all this nig
Speaker 1: is just making money. Now I'm making about the grades.
Speaker 1: We gotta start somewhere, two point oh in a lot,
Speaker 1: but it's it's a start, it's average. We're gonna teach
Speaker 1: you how to be average. Then we're gonna teach you
Speaker 1: how to come up. I graduated with a one point seven.
Speaker 1: But so you gotta start somewhere, thought it too. You
Speaker 1: gotta start somewhere with these kids though, man, And when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, we always to say the best
Speaker 1: athletes was the dumbest. When I was a kid, it
Speaker 1: was always the dumb job that was the best nig
Speaker 1: on the team. He was the best athlete, But he's
Speaker 1: the dumbest, motherfucking class. He would sunk up in school,
Speaker 1: he would wouldn't remember the plays, come to the game late.
Speaker 1: That's just what it was. So I wanted to build
Speaker 1: an era of we want the scholasticket m athlete. There
Speaker 1: was scholastic. We wanted to be a scholar and an athlete.
Speaker 1: You understand me, because I've seen the game grow. Football
Speaker 1: got smart. It was just pitch right, pitch left. It
Speaker 1: was schematics, it was numbers, it was assignments. It was
Speaker 1: and in order to win, you have to adjust. So
Speaker 1: I had to adjust as a coach. So I had
Speaker 1: to adjust with my playbook with my football league to
Speaker 1: give them different ship and make my league fun. Because
Speaker 1: Vince Staples played in my league and this is the
Speaker 1: ship that he said that touched my heart. He was like,
Speaker 1: nigga called me coach snoop. Nigga said, coach snoop nigga,
Speaker 1: When you let us put our names on the back
Speaker 1: of our jerseys, that was the best ship ever. Not
Speaker 1: their last names, but they sweet name whatever their hood
Speaker 1: name were. That blew they fucking mind when I did that.
Speaker 1: And that just was me just being a real nigga,
Speaker 1: Like this nigga name hit chill up. This nigga name
Speaker 1: hit him man. This nigga named man Chap, like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And then them kids weren't crazy
Speaker 1: and Vince Stay pull as a grown ass rapper said,
Speaker 1: you changed my life. You changed all of my homeboy's
Speaker 1: life when you did that, because we was bad as
Speaker 1: funck and all we want to do is playing your league.
Speaker 1: And one of the homies had to stand on push
Speaker 1: cans down to get fifty dollars to play, but he
Speaker 1: raised fifty dollars so he could play. Like it's stories
Speaker 1: like that that my league was built on. That's like,
Speaker 1: that's my baby. And I got over five kids that
Speaker 1: then graduated from high school, over three hundred that then
Speaker 1: graduated from Division one program, and over twelve that mayor
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's better than some my school. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: we've been when just two thousand five tell me what
Speaker 1: what the most reported? That's the obviously the most rewarding
Speaker 1: part of mentoring for you. It's just showing them there's
Speaker 1: another way. You know what. The best part in n
Speaker 1: B I ain't gonna lie to you is want a
Speaker 1: grown man called me coach. That ship is like the
Speaker 1: best feeling in the world, man, because that means you
Speaker 1: meant a lot, because I know when I called my
Speaker 1: coach coach, I can see how it touches his heart
Speaker 1: that I still call him coach as a grown ass man.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Like, he came to my
Speaker 1: concert the other day, right, one of my coaches, and
Speaker 1: I brought this nigga back to coach my little league
Speaker 1: team because we couldn't beat this particular team until we
Speaker 1: brought this nigga back and then we wanted off. Coach,
Speaker 1: Murol Nickel, you know, I love you, Coach, come to
Speaker 1: my show soon as I get off stage. This is
Speaker 1: what the niggas saying. Man, he was up there for
Speaker 1: a long time. Man, you start drinking water to hydre,
Speaker 1: I said, coach, I've been drinking water all day. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you need to highsta. That's just the
Speaker 1: coaching you. Man. I'm good. This is the ship I do, coach.
Speaker 1: This ain't football, this this ship is my lane. Nick
Speaker 1: I just scored something touchdowns, you hear me. I don't
Speaker 1: sweat this is what I do. But that is the
Speaker 1: best for them in the world. When I'm at a
Speaker 1: gas station, right and I'm by myself, like two in
Speaker 1: the morning in a car pull up with folk niggers,
Speaker 1: and I'm scared as a motherfucker, and the niggers jumped
Speaker 1: out of the car and one of niggas like, what's up, coach?
Speaker 1: No like ship that is good? Right? Used to be
Speaker 1: a time when that car and pull up? What's up?
Speaker 1: Niggle from? Yeah? See, we live to learn. Ye know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm gonna smoke the rest of your joint.
Speaker 1: I have smoked all my blood. You do what I say? There,
Speaker 1: you go, Jack, you appreciate it, Harry Tales, and make
Speaker 1: believe the Battle of l A. I mean you nigga
Speaker 1: got us right now, They got us right now, and
Speaker 1: our customer. You heard that I went off, did y'all?
Speaker 1: I've seen it. What you know, we saw it right
Speaker 1: in the locker room too, the locker room down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was signed out. Broke them niggas in. I rather
Speaker 1: them though, matter on something like because they got to
Speaker 1: understand what they mean. That a right, You niggas could
Speaker 1: go oh and eighty two. Beating them niggas across the
Speaker 1: street matters more than anything. That's like Ohio State Michigan,
Speaker 1: that's like any other rivalry in sports, Like they mean
Speaker 1: more than the Celtics nigga. Okay, and the Celtics got championships,
Speaker 1: but right now they got the mouth and the so
Speaker 1: you gotta shut that, shut that up. But I already
Speaker 1: know what the plan is. Let me hear Let me
Speaker 1: hear it, Coach. When they get to May, when they
Speaker 1: gets to the merry month of May, we're gonna see
Speaker 1: how y'all play we played them. That's the only thing
Speaker 1: that's missing is the tone of the gay that little nigga,
Speaker 1: Beverly I walk an alley with. I will go in
Speaker 1: the alley with him and slap the nigga's auntie. That's
Speaker 1: sant Patrick. Now I'm nickel because he's a goon. He
Speaker 1: takes Lebrono. That last play, Oh that was so goonish, Like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, he's a gooney man. Man, you gotta
Speaker 1: give him his man. I don't like him niggas, but
Speaker 1: I love him niggas. I mean, it is what it is, man,
Speaker 1: Kauai know what it is. I'll be wearing his sweatsuits
Speaker 1: and ship fucking with you, understand me. But I think
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if we both make
Speaker 1: it to the championship, the Western Conference finals, we got
Speaker 1: something for them, because like they're shooting they wide out
Speaker 1: right now, Seattle. I disagree, y'all, got the top record.
Speaker 1: The chilling, that's what not once they see right now
Speaker 1: they're like three. But it don't matter what I said.
Speaker 1: The leg is gonna win, but the clip is chilling
Speaker 1: right now. We don't need to be mean to say
Speaker 1: they be clipping honorary Laker too. I mean, so, I
Speaker 1: just love the battle. I grew up a Laker fan,
Speaker 1: died hard Legger fan. But I really feel like we
Speaker 1: kind of put the Clippers back on the map. So
Speaker 1: I really took pride and trying to put them on
Speaker 1: the city. It'll never be. It will never be. The
Speaker 1: Clippers will never be with the Lakers are no matter.
Speaker 1: It just never happened. I ask you this, do you
Speaker 1: think this team better than Live City were what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: We're playing CP at the one. I think I think
Speaker 1: the only thing they was missing was a Lou Williams.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's nothing. We had a Jamal Cross. The
Speaker 1: only thing we're off the same exactly. The only thing
Speaker 1: we was missing was chemistry. That's what held us back.
Speaker 1: We got in our own way and injuries. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: CP and Blake, Oh we did it, yeah, but I
Speaker 1: think we kept ourselves on When it to me, that's
Speaker 1: one of the teams that should have ended thing that
Speaker 1: I know the Clippers that it's gonna be effective if
Speaker 1: that that nigga Kawhi Leonard i Q so motherfucker highs
Speaker 1: like niggas don't even take that into the equation. But
Speaker 1: I'm a sports guy and I always have to look
Speaker 1: at that part of the game, like the i Q
Speaker 1: can win more than ability and skills. He's so sharp
Speaker 1: that he understands the dynamic of First of all, I've
Speaker 1: seen the nigga workout when I went to the finals
Speaker 1: against Golden State right last year. I've seen this nigga
Speaker 1: workout because I was there early. He was the only
Speaker 1: niggle on this goal that Nigga would shooting nothing but
Speaker 1: mid range, mid range, mid range. I watched the next
Speaker 1: nigga come out three three three, three free through three three.
Speaker 1: I said, Oh, this nigga is smart, see because everybody
Speaker 1: want the three, but the mid range is a guaranteed too.
Speaker 1: If your i Q was right, you're gonna hit that
Speaker 1: mid range more than you hit that three. Then when
Speaker 1: you want the three, there it's there. That's why this
Speaker 1: nigga is so good. A lot of his intelligence and
Speaker 1: gang smarts and the composure for sure come from being
Speaker 1: around Tim Duncan. But I'm watching I'm watching his the
Speaker 1: way he liked. He don't get right on nothing. And
Speaker 1: they could be down by fifteen and they can pull
Speaker 1: up hit that mere range. You're back on d Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverly didn't got a neigger to throw the ball off
Speaker 1: on his own feet. Now they're down by level, they're
Speaker 1: clapping and ship and the ship here comes to bullshit.
Speaker 1: Williams didn' hit the three from the corner and fell
Speaker 1: out and they gave him a four point play. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, the dread lock like the predator coming
Speaker 1: through the middle, and we just we just we just
Speaker 1: we just y'all. The Lakers need Jamal Crawford. That's who
Speaker 1: we need. That they need someone he can aswer. Oh
Speaker 1: I say, I say, in the merry month of May,
Speaker 1: we will have an acquisition because I just everything ain't
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be at. Something missing. It's some missing.
Speaker 1: Jay Crawford and the White Howard. I got to give
Speaker 1: him a shout out, the new Dwhite Howard. This nigga
Speaker 1: is the Comeback Player of the Year or whatever that
Speaker 1: award is for. H am I right, A wrong, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. That ship from what the way
Speaker 1: he looked last year to now, he went through a
Speaker 1: lot last year. He looked good last time. Not even
Speaker 1: that when I seen him with the Hawks and the
Speaker 1: all the mother sorry teams, he looked bad. He looked
Speaker 1: amazing right now his spirit has looked, has rebound his
Speaker 1: deep and like that, Nigga is the ship. I watched
Speaker 1: the Lakers, Nigger, that's my squad. And then too, what
Speaker 1: a lot of people gonna tell y'all he going in
Speaker 1: the game plan against the second unit. Ain't no second
Speaker 1: unit and no league can stop Dwhite Howard. So that's
Speaker 1: another reason why he shined. He planned against the second
Speaker 1: He really he can dominate against starters. It looked like
Speaker 1: he on our planet now the way he playing in
Speaker 1: just because I can't see that just natural, just wake
Speaker 1: up in my game. I think he just had one
Speaker 1: of those welcome to the friendly Scott, you will be
Speaker 1: flying at an all time. But it was redemption. I
Speaker 1: think he knew this is his last chance, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? He looked good. I'm happy for him,
Speaker 1: We're proud of him. I love him. I loved him
Speaker 1: when he came the first time. I love him on
Speaker 1: the second side. Good Ship, d White. That's what's up?
Speaker 1: What should have been your most favorite Laker moment as
Speaker 1: a you know what? One of them is this right?
Speaker 1: When the Lakers won, Right and Nigga's won. I think
Speaker 1: they beat the Trail Flagers in that game. And uh
Speaker 1: when when that motherfuck up and she caught that motherfucker nigga,
Speaker 1: Me and my homeboys kicked the locker rooms. We kicked
Speaker 1: it in and went in there with him nigga and
Speaker 1: busted in Nigga and came in that mother fucking was
Speaker 1: doing the interviews with Jim Hill and all kinds of niggas.
Speaker 1: We was excited like a motherfucker because that's when Shaq
Speaker 1: was the realist nag in the world. He'd leave tickets
Speaker 1: at the thing for nigger and he would leave wearing
Speaker 1: wrist band and he'd be like, when you just take
Speaker 1: it off and give it to the next person to
Speaker 1: come in. And that's how we used to get right.
Speaker 1: That's when the Skype whatever that ship was, I think
Speaker 1: with sky page or skyping or something, and I star
Speaker 1: always hit the nigga. Big Daddy I need some tickets
Speaker 1: to the game. And this was the big game against
Speaker 1: the Trailblazers, and I'm nigga. When the niggas won, we
Speaker 1: came in that locker room and it was just like
Speaker 1: we was a part of the team. And Phil Jackson
Speaker 1: was looking at us like we was crazy and the
Speaker 1: motherfucker he was looking like, how did these niggas get
Speaker 1: in here? Were like, Nigga, we went, We went the niggas,
Speaker 1: That's how we got in and they won that motherfucker.
Speaker 1: That was like, because yeah, all the mother Championship moments
Speaker 1: was like, I was just a fan that ship felt
Speaker 1: like I was on the Yeah. And then let me
Speaker 1: let me stop lying. When they beat New Jersey game Folk,
Speaker 1: they swept their dog head asses. And we was in
Speaker 1: New Jersey and and and jay Z was there and
Speaker 1: all kind of New York niggas was there, and me

Speaker 1: the gang fellas. They unscrew the windows, lift the windows
Speaker 1: up just so the smoke, and go out, ask us
Speaker 1: if we need anything. We all look like that's when
Speaker 1: Stern was the president. Stern had understanding. They came and
Speaker 1: unscrewed the windows at the wrist. But the whole night
Speaker 1: was crazy. So we beat Dallas. We were the only
Speaker 1: teams they got seen a HBO special on that nigga

Speaker 1: pre Steph Curry and them y'all had that motherfucker. And
Speaker 1: it was Loan in there too. It was it was
Speaker 1: it was made. You can smell. But on the way
Speaker 1: in that motherfucker, it was so littening. And I was
Speaker 1: openen California. That ship was so locked because I know
Speaker 1: my dad used to tell me, he said, you know,
Speaker 1: all these white people are smoking silets. I'm out here
Speaker 1: just smoking my joint the only bottom. They were special, man,
Speaker 1: they were special. That was man. I hug out with
Speaker 1: the owners kids. Man, the two little dudes, I let
Speaker 1: him wear my little chain. Happen. Yeah, Man, we start
Speaker 1: studied that out. So let's transferum, the current state of
Speaker 1: the NBA. What you think about the league right now?
Speaker 1: You know we play like a lot of us they
Speaker 1: alread like when y'all older guys hating. I don't think
Speaker 1: the game is physical. I don't think guys care as much.
Speaker 1: I know what I had to do to get to
Speaker 1: the NBA second to last draft pick. I know I
Speaker 1: had going overseas and all this ship. I know what
Speaker 1: I had to do. I know what the game meant
Speaker 1: to me, and I know how Man and Matt played
Speaker 1: the game until we couldn't play no more. We played
Speaker 1: it with a certain passion um. The game has grew
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, thanks to Lebron, with guys getting
Speaker 1: hate a lot of money. You know, the game that
Speaker 1: they're having to day where they can choose where they
Speaker 1: want to play. But the competition, it seems like and
Speaker 1: the and and and the fight to win, it seems
Speaker 1: like it's kind of dripped in the way. What what
Speaker 1: what is your uh? What? How do you think the
Speaker 1: game the state of the game is right now? Do
Speaker 1: you think it's like it's in a good place or
Speaker 1: shouldn't go back to the old type of style like
Speaker 1: the rough style, guy sewing they care more about the game.
Speaker 1: I started watching basketball in the seventies, gus, so you
Speaker 1: know the fight come with that, man, please. I watched
Speaker 1: Kareem and he's getting the fight and didn't get suspended,
Speaker 1: came right back, sat down for commercial. Nigga check her
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back back in the game. Looking
Speaker 1: for real. These motherucker's be getting man. I just I
Speaker 1: just don't know, man, like I say, And another thing,
Speaker 1: and I'd be wanting to speak on It's like they'll
Speaker 1: be putting too much on some of these new players.
Speaker 1: Man like they're good, but they're not that good. When
Speaker 1: they were talking about Luca Donche just being the best
Speaker 1: twenty year old, that rubbed me the wrong way. For one,
Speaker 1: Moses Malone came out of high school and nigga, you
Speaker 1: ain't nowhere near Moses Malone. Motherfucker at Moses Malone average
Speaker 1: a double double nigga with the Houston Rockets. Don't get
Speaker 1: it fucked up. Then he came to Philadelphia and beat
Speaker 1: us four games than none with Kareem and Magic, took
Speaker 1: them to the prominent. I cried like a fucking baby.
Speaker 1: He broke my heart. They made me cross. He was
Speaker 1: twenty years old, but he came in the league at twenty.
Speaker 1: I didn't see him at twenty, but when I seen
Speaker 1: him do what he did, I could imagine what the
Speaker 1: nigga was doing that twin And the league was harder
Speaker 1: back then. That's one thing I'll definitely give it to you,
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. Starting back then, definitely, but even
Speaker 1: up until kind of we almost stopped was it was
Speaker 1: just a much more physical tougher to get it done.
Speaker 1: That y'all niggas had at the Palace made them solve
Speaker 1: in the league up speak on it because the league
Speaker 1: was real until that point. Like ship, motherfucker, gett into
Speaker 1: a squad. It is what it is. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: fucking and I may see you after this and funk
Speaker 1: your ass something that it is what it is. It's
Speaker 1: what it is. If you bought that life, that's what
Speaker 1: it's about. After that, they started. If you jump off
Speaker 1: the sideline, you get to spend it for three games,
Speaker 1: which funck did the first Phoenix Suns when they came
Speaker 1: up the sideline, like you you softened in the game
Speaker 1: up he comes through the lane. The the was it
Speaker 1: the Jordan rule at first? Man? Damn it damn like
Speaker 1: they softened the ship up, like come on, man, like
Speaker 1: make this ship what it used to be. It's the
Speaker 1: same for football. It's like they softening that up. It's
Speaker 1: like you gotta lead the ship for what it is.
Speaker 1: But what I do like about the NBA is that
Speaker 1: the players are in control. I like that point because
Speaker 1: the half control means everything and their voices heard. They're
Speaker 1: not like shut up, nigga and throw the ball. Nah,
Speaker 1: you tell me to shut up and driple nigga. I
Speaker 1: may dribble up on your ask for the TV show
Speaker 1: and all kinds of ship's gonna You're gonna leave me alone,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like that's the
Speaker 1: plus to it all. And then y'all got a motherfucking
Speaker 1: commission that's flexible. That's like, all right, he in there,
Speaker 1: what you even talked by the best, so you know
Speaker 1: how to do it? No, not to do it. They
Speaker 1: can get up in there, mix it up and get
Speaker 1: get to understand it, get flying with this ship. Let
Speaker 1: it be about the players. Let let the players grow
Speaker 1: the league. Let the players be the stars, let them shine,
Speaker 1: let them be the voice of the league. Whatever views
Speaker 1: that they got, match that. If they got social ingested,
Speaker 1: you match that. Whatever match that, get on it, get
Speaker 1: on it with a quickness. Because y'all generate a lot
Speaker 1: of money. Y'all make a lot of motherfucker's want to
Speaker 1: be a part of this ship. Come out for him.
Speaker 1: The platform is huge. Now. The next step is taking
Speaker 1: marijuana out like baseball did because baseball got smart and said, well,
Speaker 1: ain't nobody really hitting seventy home runs? Were smoking a joint?
Speaker 1: Now these steroids nigger may hit hunting thirty shot home
Speaker 1: runs and be a different color in for five years.
Speaker 1: Sammy hand side down bleached your whole life. Toy story
Speaker 1: here to ask Nigga, but my whole thing with that thing,
Speaker 1: it's not even so much the Major League Baseball says
Speaker 1: smoke weed. They just stopped testing for it. I think
Speaker 1: the NBA is worried about their image, like we're sending
Speaker 1: the wrong message. But it's not even the images. The images.
Speaker 1: This when players like yourself and you and players can
Speaker 1: admit to Hey, when I played, I smoked. It actually
Speaker 1: helped me. And that's why I'm able to speak in
Speaker 1: my right mind and conduct business and have a show
Speaker 1: and have other businesses because I didn't get addicted to
Speaker 1: open yours, none of the other ship that y'all was
Speaker 1: trying to give me. So now I'm able to conduct
Speaker 1: a regular life and raised kids and still have babies
Speaker 1: after I get out the league because I didn't suck
Speaker 1: my ship up and throw my ship off, and I'm
Speaker 1: able to still be a productive citizen without my sport
Speaker 1: that made me so much money and not being addicted
Speaker 1: to nothing that's connected to the sport. Who's your favorite
Speaker 1: player to watch outside of Lakers? Like we know you
Speaker 1: know you're a big Laker fan. Who's who's someone you
Speaker 1: watch outside of the Lakers. Damn Um. I like that
Speaker 1: new nigger from Memphis. He cold, he cold, he little,
Speaker 1: but he cold a lot of games. I like his
Speaker 1: heart like you can't buy hard like you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, you can't buy that like and when
Speaker 1: you got that in you, that go a long way.
Speaker 1: Like when they put some goons around him, oh shipping
Speaker 1: matter there and get him somewhere else. He nasty. He
Speaker 1: like Kimba Walker looking Boston. You know, I like you
Speaker 1: put him the team with some niggers that can get
Speaker 1: out now. He looked good now and I set out
Speaker 1: there struggling every night to try to beat five niggas
Speaker 1: by himself. He put them to the Big Three championship. Yeah,

Speaker 1: you're from. When you walked out the arena to the
Speaker 1: back to the locker rooms. Please tell them because you
Speaker 1: stopped somewhere else before you got to meet. Let him
Speaker 1: know how you know what steps on the way to
Speaker 1: my locker room. Well, when I walked out, the first
Speaker 1: locker room I've seen was the victorious team and they
Speaker 1: was in there popping champagne and pouring champagne with each other.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm dressed to fly for this ship.
Speaker 1: So as I continue to walk my two cans, Sam
Speaker 1: nose of mine, my nose always nose, but your nose nose.
Speaker 1: It was like, hold on, we need to go down
Speaker 1: this way. It's smell like we need to be in

Speaker 1: my niget jacking him and there. Oh that's all I

Speaker 1: please on NBA two K you can have it like that.
Speaker 1: With your longevity and being an entertainer, what's been the
Speaker 1: secret of maintaining a relationship with your your family dynamic?
Speaker 1: What's been the secret? Nothing's perfect, everything is up and down.
Speaker 1: But tell me what would have been your tricks to
Speaker 1: maintain just trying to keep them involved? Um with my family.
Speaker 1: I try to like this ship is like a juggling act.
Speaker 1: And if you got a family, you understand what I mean.
Speaker 1: From the mother to the kids, to the grandparents, to
Speaker 1: the siblings and all of the ship to come along
Speaker 1: with it. I just try to keep them all attached,
Speaker 1: like in some form of fashion. That's why I built
Speaker 1: the compound, because that was my way of saying, how
Speaker 1: can I have something that's all of ours, that's an
Speaker 1: epicenter that we can always come to if we need
Speaker 1: to get away, we need to talk, need to cry, laugh,
Speaker 1: making music, video's party, whatever this is it. And I
Speaker 1: had to build that because for a moment, I only
Speaker 1: had that you know what I'm saying, and they had
Speaker 1: to get in where they fit in based off you know,
Speaker 1: my plays. But to be a better family man, a
Speaker 1: better business man, you build ship for the family and
Speaker 1: for the business. So that's why I built the compound,
Speaker 1: and that's why the family has been executing on the
Speaker 1: level that we have for so many years, considering that
Speaker 1: I have epicenter where we can do that, where we
Speaker 1: could chop it up and get it right when it's wrong.
Speaker 1: Me and you personally spoke because I was real. I
Speaker 1: was a football player first and just loved yourself the
Speaker 1: athletic busin you said, you what you questioned my football? No, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't had check all the records. I had to
Speaker 1: cough anyway out of here. Check the replacements. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was gonna stop on the football. So we got plenty
Speaker 1: of people to speak to that anyway, As I was saying,
Speaker 1: we was talking about your son playing going to u
Speaker 1: c l A, playing football and then him stepping away
Speaker 1: from it because it wasn't really what he wanted. Talk
Speaker 1: to me a little bit about that. Who That was
Speaker 1: a heavy one in the beginning, because you know, as
Speaker 1: a father, you know, you you live through your kids.
Speaker 1: Ain't no other way around it, especially if you didn't
Speaker 1: make it in sports and your kids making it in sports,
Speaker 1: you basically you are them. You living for them with them,
Speaker 1: and you are them. So when he makes it, we
Speaker 1: make it. And for him to get to that level
Speaker 1: of going to a Division one program where Jim Moore
Speaker 1: and you know, coach ARBs all came and recruited him
Speaker 1: and you know, got him there, and it's like he's
Speaker 1: projected to do so many great things and then don't
Speaker 1: even show up to the first practice, just nowhere to
Speaker 1: be found music about it, and I was so excited,
Speaker 1: even though he chose a school, but I was excited
Speaker 1: for him because he was going to do his thing.
Speaker 1: And I knew that when he chose that school, he
Speaker 1: was gonna have longevity after football. So he don't show
Speaker 1: up ship going bad. We like six seven days into
Speaker 1: the first week a camp, finally sit down and catch
Speaker 1: up to him, and it's like a burden is off
Speaker 1: his shoulders when he say what he say to me,
Speaker 1: like in so many words, I've been playing for you
Speaker 1: my whole life like and he had coached him since
Speaker 1: he was six years old. I made that nigger play
Speaker 1: show ask all there and he became good. But I
Speaker 1: was always say in daddy ball, you're either gonna make
Speaker 1: your son the greatest athlete in the world, either gonna
Speaker 1: hate the funk out of you. Ain't no in betweens.
Speaker 1: And I made him the greatest athlete in the world
Speaker 1: that I could, and I beget I begin to see
Speaker 1: he was gonna hate me. So him pulling back made
Speaker 1: us do this because football was gonna do this. This
Speaker 1: brought us here to where now I gotta support you
Speaker 1: not what you're doing, but support you no matter what
Speaker 1: you're doing. And then I got got to a point
Speaker 1: to where I've seen that he needed me as a kid.
Speaker 1: So what he's six to a hundred and eighty pounds,
Speaker 1: looked like a grown ass, and they're gonna sun he
Speaker 1: a kid them your babies, Matt, when they grow up
Speaker 1: like they're getting taller, they steal them little bitty babies
Speaker 1: that cry and do all that soft ship their babies.
Speaker 1: And it's like, no matter how big they get, you
Speaker 1: gotta always remember that. So I had to keep that
Speaker 1: in mind and not be mean, but be understanding and
Speaker 1: say I got you now, I live your life, m
Speaker 1: what you want to do? I got you. Now I
Speaker 1: gotta pay for You'll ask to go to U c
Speaker 1: l A when you had a full scholars but I
Speaker 1: got you. How much of this ship? God damn you?
Speaker 1: Sure you don't want to go to a community college?
Speaker 1: Niggas something that's interesting here though, because I coached my boys.
Speaker 1: But one thing I learned early too, it was to
Speaker 1: never pressure them to do you know, I made it,
Speaker 1: I played my my I spent my fifteen years. You
Speaker 1: enjoyed the ride, You saw what it was about, but
Speaker 1: it's always on your time. So if you want to
Speaker 1: work out, we could work out. If you don't want
Speaker 1: to work out, if you want to be good, you
Speaker 1: want to be better, you want to continue to prove
Speaker 1: us on you. And it finally just turned the level
