I remember when I made the 183 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: song Testament. But I made the song Testament. It made 184 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: crazy noise in the industry. You probably remember. I remember 185 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: clauke Ken used to come up to Depth like, Yo, 186 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: this is the one like Streets.

She said this is cool, but you need 189 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: something hot. And when she said that, it made my 190 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: stomach sick because I knew that that was a record. 191 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: I went hard on that record lyrically. The production was 192 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: crazy and I got respect, you know, as an m C. 193 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: I was a rapper. You know, we give we give 194 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: salent praise to each other sometimes to be like, you 195 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: know you're doing this thing, they might not say it 196 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: to you.

So I knew it was strong, and 199 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: I knew that from me not having a song but 200 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: being on tour with DMX. That's the song I closed with, 201 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: So I knew it was a strong Street record. But 202 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: she's telling me something else, and that's where I knew 203 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: there was a conflict.

My kids 251 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: is great, you know what saying. So it's like, um, 252 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: I was on talking about business, so I wasn't gonna 253 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: rush into sign in the production deal. But Steve has 254 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: like he had like you know how it is. He 255 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: has a certain way about himself. All of them got it. 256 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: Chris got it. Yeah, Yea got it. Mark got it. 257 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: As a man, see, I was considering doing it, but 258 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: it's just certains a drink right there too. That's a 259 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: little bit of rose. Just some kids, you know what. 260 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: Let's think about it. Let's think about it. Finish his 261 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: story though. So as a man, there's certain things you 262 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: don't say to a man. You know what I'm saying, Like, 263 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm a man at the end of the day, I'm 264 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: not a sucker that's trying to get on because, to 265 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: be honest with you, those days I have more money 266 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: when I wasn't rapping when I was doing other things. 267 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: So it's like he Steve is the type of person, 268 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: like he once said to me, like you think you 269 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: would even have a deal if it wasn't for us, 270 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: or like like he says things like that that makes 271 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: you question yourself. So if I was signed that, I 272 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't respect it myself. So it was like certain things 273 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: and then you already know what happened with the song 274 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: A lot of familiar, but we don't know. I'm talking 275 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: to each other. You don't know what you want to know. 276 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: He told my man Benz Mega doesn't sign the production deal, 277 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: that remix that other song will be the last that 278 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: you hear from him with the firm. So I was like, 279 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: in my mind, I was like, he's bugging because I'm 280 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: on alt familiar, So what is he talking about. I'm 281 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: thinking like that thing with a lot of familia came out, 282 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't on it. They took me up and putting 283 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: nature on it, so I thought it was a firmtive action. 284 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Now I'm on a front of action, front of acted 285 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: the first front soon. But at the end of the day, 286 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: it is at the end of the day, it's like 287 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: this Steve is a marketing genius. You know what I'm 288 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: saying straight up, It's just that money ain't everything. Some 289 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: people are morally bankrupt financially rich.

I came up listening to you, like 508 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I was. I grew up in between generations. 509 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: So it's like I got the kind of like the UM, 510 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: certain respect for the history and a certain respect for 511 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: the craft that a lot of people don't know that 512 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: I have knowledge yell.

My Christmas gifts when 536 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: I was a little with albums, I wanted albums and 537 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: radios and stuff like that. Wayne album Block Is Hot 538 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: was on my Christmas list. Like to be honest, I 539 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: even met him. So I grew up just just in 540 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: a in an environment and just want to do want 541 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: to be an artist first, but at the same time 542 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: knowing that you gotta have fun my pops to be. 543 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: To be real with you, my Pops didn't want me 544 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: to wrap like he was like people want different people 545 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: on the block would tell them about me when I 546 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: first started writing my all stuff say one time that 547 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: he didn't want you to wrap, but he seece you 548 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: spend bars and realize you were better than him. And 549 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: that's funny that I seemed to interview you know what 550 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean. That's ill, but I mean that's your pop, 551 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: so it's it's no disrespect to him. Yeah, he definitely 552 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: my biggest inspiration. How do you feel about him on 553 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: Love and Hip Hop? You agree or it's like, fuck it, 554 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. When I first heard about it, 555 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: I was more worried about what other people think. But 556 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: it's like, as long as my Pops is good and 557 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's my father. I'm 558 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: riding with him whether you're wrong or right. Oh and 559 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: he's shot it too. He glowing. Man, I see that 560 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: the other day, I said, were you looking like money? 561 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: You know? What's so dope? Man for people to be 562 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: in this music But because there's so many bitter people, 563 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that being in this music business, 564 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: they don't because if you don't get what you get 565 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: in this music business, a lot of the times, ninety 566 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: percent of the blame is on you. You understand what 567 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Because there's so many different ways to be independent, 568 00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: especially nowadays, especially nowadays, being independent the Spotify ship just dreams. 569 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, A lot of people don't know, 570 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: and jay Z is not paying me, so I'm gonna 571 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: just throw this out there. But that other about all 572 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: roles in there. Um title has one of the illest 573 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: formats ever for artists like Mega. You ever did something 574 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: through it out and said, damn, I wish I could 575 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: actually go back in there and we record that title 576 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: with the streams, you can go back in there and 577 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: Kanye is doing it's the most brilliant thing. So I 578 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: sit back and say, if an artist is not going 579 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: out there and getting it, he just really don't want 580 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: it sometimes. But so I'm just saying, there's so many 581 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: opportunities but lyricism questions question to uh you Mega you 582 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: listen to all this thing? Can lyricism sism live in 583 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: on a mainstream scale? Yeah it could. Ken Drake Kendrick 584 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: brought that Kendric quarterback J Cole. I. I think Corey 585 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: overy time I see Corey, I'll tell him whether every 586 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: time I see us, be like, Yo, what's the music at? 587 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Or you know, I always, ever since I've been seeing them, 588 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: always try to push him into courage him because I 589 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: like the directions going in. But lyricism could always live 590 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: because especially now in these times, because there's so much 591 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: see the then between rapping and and and and hip 592 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: hop also and lyricism is because lyricism you paint pictures. 593 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: There's so much happening in the world right now with 594 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: us as people because if you got Black lives matter, 595 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: you got the politics so much to talk about. That 596 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: is is captivating when you when when people hold onto 597 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: your words. Now now now you invoke an emotions or 598 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: you're having a connection with people, and that's why you 599 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: know that's important, and that's why when the more the 600 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: more new artists do it, it helps because everybody wants 601 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: to do what those new artists doing. I think I think, um, 602 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: one rapper that's out of the newer generation that that 603 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: I really have learned to appreciate. It's Drake. I'm just 604 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna say, young Thug. Bro. I haven't heard young I 605 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: haven't heard much of young Thug, but I've already I've 606 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: heard these all right, Yeah, yeah, I'm not I'm not judgmental. 607 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: Like the problem with a lot of rappers that have 608 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: been out old school or veterans or legends some of 609 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: them is they're too they're too closed minded that you 610 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: can't just say, well, they don't do like how we 611 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: did it. Of course they don't because that's a different time, 612 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: just like we don't travel like George Washington and them 613 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: used to, you know what saying. So it's like if anything, um, 614 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: Like some fans are like, um, they don't want to 615 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: leave the nineties. Like I respect that, but I know 616 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: that when I paid my bills to say no doubt, 617 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: like I love the nineties, Like I understand I understand 618 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: where they're coming from the nineties, like skill, what's your 619 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 1: bad badge on it? People put their heart more in it. Now. 620 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something I was watching sending on 621 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: TV the other day. It was like it was Jamie Fox. 622 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: I think it was like a comedy and the dude 623 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: was rapping joking right like you remember when dude that 624 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: couldn't wrap used to wrap and it was funny or 625 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: crackhead wrappers. But now I was like, yo, he could 626 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: do that right now on the album. And it's sad 627 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: because it's technology. Like, look, the phones that we have 628 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: now is better than the phones ten years ago. The 629 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: TVs we have now is better than the cars we 630 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: have now is better, But the rungs we have now 631 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: aren't better than ten years ago. Even R and B 632 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: is regressing, Like if you listen to a real RB song, 633 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: RV songs was the song people made babies or the 634 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: songs that that made women and men fall in love. 635 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: Now you can now, Dad, you heard. You can take 636 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: an R and B song if you want. But but 637 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: every every song don't have to be about straight fucking 638 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: like you trying to the radio, Like, um, Rihanna got 639 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: a song talking about no, not that one, sex with me, 640 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: sex with something. She got a song something about I 641 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: love I love Rihanna. I think she got the best 642 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: album out right now, but I don't want to I 643 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: don't want to hear that song at three o'clock in 644 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: the afternoon when I got my daughter in the car, 645 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: It's like, whoa. Because kids are smart, they catch on. 646 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: So I want to hear Rihanna in my space, not 647 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: in kids space, you know what I'm saying. So it's 648 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: like certain it's radio's fault because radio needs to have 649 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: guidelines to safeguards to protect kids because kids, kids are 650 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: smart and they and they observe it.

You don't have to abandon your 731 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: old principles. No, I don't want That's what some people do. 732 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,760 Speaker 1: I hate what older dudes try to act young. Okay, 733 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: so like they abandoned their principles because to me, that's 734 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: what old g's are for, to leave the youth, like 735 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: similar to what Fat Joe was doing. Like if I 736 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: think Fat Joe was keeping the hip hop intecrity at 737 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: the same time all the way up? Does cater to 738 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: the new generation the way up, hard nose, all the 739 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: way up, that motherfucker go platinum, man, I got something 740 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: to do with that. Continue I'm sorry, what is that? Like? 741 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying? Like, but it means 742 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: it's not a departure, perfect facto. It's not too much 743 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: of a departure from who he is and what he's 744 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,240 Speaker 1: been doing. Right, Like, it's not it's not too crazy, 745 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: like you can see the progression and what Fat Joe 746 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: is doing. He's not regressing and trying to act in 747 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: the club and wild. No, But it caters to the 748 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,959 Speaker 1: young audience. What I'm saying is, you know, old dudes 749 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: would say yo more over up after they see the 750 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: young guns and the and and the chicks on there. 751 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: But that's not the first thing a person in his 752 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: thirties and his forties is gonna think of. But that's 753 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: a young person thing. But what I'm saying is it's 754 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: kind of balanced because it is cater into the young 755 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: audience without uh this uh you know, disproving hip hop. 756 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: Like I could see Caress One, I could see Cool 757 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 1: Hirk saying they funking all the way up.

Now? 767 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: You think they disapprove or or doesn't matter. I think 768 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: that's a conversation that you should have. I think I 769 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: think you should have some of them on your show. 770 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah we need you, but how do how do you 771 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: feel because of Mega you're a legend? Right? I hate 772 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: to be called a legend, to be honest. Why Because 773 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: when I see when I think of people who a legends, 774 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that I match up out of haven't 775 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: done what they've done? Like if every being Rock came 776 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: of legends, then how am I legend or off? Like 777 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: like certain people icons, I consider myself a vet. Maybe 778 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: in a few years, if I keep putting out, then 779 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: I considered I'll be comfortable with legend. But if if everyb's, 780 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: if every being Rock came as legends and public enemies legends, 781 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: Like how the funking my legend? I haven't done with 782 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: Dave done. They've transcended the whole genre. I'm just trying 783 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: to do. I'm just trying to make them proud. Um 784 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: I gotta agree with you and disagree with you because 785 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: you know why us, as quote unquote legends, we like Yo, 786 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: b I just seen you pack a house in the 787 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: middle of mid midtown Miami. Mother fuker's don't come over here. 788 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: They get killed, they get robbed out here. You probably 789 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, I'm sure you know. But what 790 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying is I just see people come. I watched man. 791 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: Only time I left, I had to piss. I'm sorry. 792 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: I never leave a person show, but I had to people. 793 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: I gotta people right now, but I'm holding it. But 794 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: I was out there, and I don't only watch you 795 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: because you're a nigga from my hood, and I'd be 796 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: so proud to see another nigga from my hood maintaining 797 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: and surviving and doing it. But I had one point moved. 798 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: I was looking directly at you, and at one point 799 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: moved because I don't wanted to see the crowd. And 800 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 1: these motherfucker's knew every fucking word. They knew every word. 801 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: And you know what it is. You ain't had a 802 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: record on the radio in the past. I don't know 803 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: how many years. Me neither, So you know what I'm saying. 804 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: And when you could do that, that is the definition 805 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: of legendary. My brother and artist subjective. So if a 806 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: fancy thinks you're a legend, you're definitely a legendary. I 807 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: know what he means. But see, legendary status doesn't mean 808 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: comparing yourself up to another legend, because in that case, 809 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: I would I could never be careless one carress One 810 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 1: is and I'm from Queens and I told him that 811 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: I could never match up the carvress One.

I've never had 981 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,319 Speaker 1: a phone phony moment with you. Like We've always been 982 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: stand up dude. You always had the ellest reputation in 983 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: the hood. You know, Queen's Bridge is like my second home. 984 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,840 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And um so I just 985 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: I know this is this is past, but um like, 986 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 1: how did how did we spoke about the nature incident? 987 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: But what was the like the first time you spoke 988 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: to nas and you felt like the energy isn't right, 989 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: so you wanted to do your own thing. Um the 990 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: term you might remember this, there was a magazine called 991 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: Wires b y s b okay. So there was a 992 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,439 Speaker 1: photo shoot one day and Steve Stout called my man Biz. 993 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 1: He's like, yeo, we're having a firm photo shoot. Tell 994 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 1: Omega to come through. I went all the way uptown, 995 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: got a haircut, and then after that I went to 996 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: um Uptown Records. I went to Uptown Records because I 997 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: had to pick up a check from doing a song 998 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: with it with the R and B group. Right while 999 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm at Uptown, I see Deal who happens to be 1000 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 1: A Z's manager. Okay, okay. So the reason I went 1001 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: up to Uptown Records instead of going to the firm 1002 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,840 Speaker 1: photo shoot because Steve stal Court and said, oh the 1003 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: photo shooters canceled, don't come right. So I was like cool, 1004 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 1: So I went uptown up staying Rex to get the chat. 1005 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: So when I see Dio, he's like he's a he's manager. 1006 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: He's like, why aren't you at the photo shoot. You're 1007 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: doing the photo shoot right now? And I was like, 1008 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 1: you show it was like photo shoot now. He wasn't 1009 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: at that. He was like, he's like, I'm positive, so 1010 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 1: right in and there. My pride wouldn't let me go. 1011 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 1: I could have went without it. Feel like the elephant 1012 00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: in the room, like if I was wanted to be here, 1013 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 1: I would have been there, so I didn't go. And 1014 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 1: then when I've seen something, I said, listen, if we're 1015 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna let music come between us, then that's like savage. 1016 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I said, for I said, you 1017 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 1: might as well just what y'all, I see what's happening. 1018 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: I said, why don't you just let nature take my place? 1019 00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 1: Because that's what you know what I'm saying, because that's 1020 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: obviously what happened. Because I underestimated the power of Steve 1021 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: back then, because I'm thinking, this is my man. So 1022 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: just what Steve saying is that you're saying my man 1023 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: about Steve n So yeah, so I'm like Steve, the 1024 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: stuff Steve saying it ain't gonna and is irrelevant because 1025 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: now exactly it's not gonna Happenuse not my man, not 1026 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,879 Speaker 1: gonna let that happen. But I underestimated him. I was wrong. 1027 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: So I basically told him, like, yo, man, you might 1028 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: as well letting nature replace me because that's what's gonna happen. 1029 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 1: He's like, Nah, that had never happened that that, but 1030 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 1: it did happen, so right then, and I was like, Yo, 1031 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 1: if we're gonna let money come between us. Then we 1032 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 1: it's like savages, you know what I'm saying. So that's 1033 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 1: when I knew ship was was was wet, you know 1034 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And um, it's just changed after that, 1035 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So um, And now like 1036 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,840 Speaker 1: because he shot at you out on one love correct 1037 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 1: and it was like the biggest record of the year 1038 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: and I wasn't home, so I wouldn't know, but I 1039 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 1: know I was proud. Yeah, So, um, what was your 1040 00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 1: relationship like before? He was mad? Cool? I got mad 1041 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: letters from he? Right, I got one love letters at 1042 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: my house now that it broke me when I was 1043 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: in jail, like yo one time, because the rumor was, 1044 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: and I don't want to cut you up. You gotta 1045 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: finish the stories. These people gonna kill me. But the 1046 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: rumor was that's who in the beginning, that's who. Now 1047 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: he's got the style from core Maga. You have to 1048 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: talk to him about that. No, I'm just saying the 1049 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: rum one. I'm not talking about him. I'm saying that 1050 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: was the rumor. It was like he said that. It 1051 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 1: was like the rumor was, I mean, that's that that 1052 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: that was what it was like. You know, queens is 1053 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,759 Speaker 1: it's a whole section. I'll say this, I can't take 1054 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 1: any credit for that man's success. Like at the end 1055 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 1: of the day, that man has become one of the 1056 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 1: greatest lyricists ever of all time, you know what I'm saying. 1057 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 1: So it's like I can't take credit for that. Like 1058 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I can't take any credit 1059 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 1: for that that he did it. He did, He did 1060 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,919 Speaker 1: him and he's where he's at, you know what I'm saying. 1061 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: But before all that, I did stuff for him back 1062 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 1: in the day that he did stuff for me, Like 1063 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: the first time he ever performed at Brooklyn Queen's Day, 1064 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: you know, Broken Queen Day was a big difference. I 1065 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 1: remember Brooken Queen's Day a cannelly um as the first 1066 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: time I've seen um live at the barbecue. But when 1067 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,879 Speaker 1: you asked now the first time he performed a Broken 1068 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: Queen's Day, he will tell you it was me. We 1069 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,160 Speaker 1: went to We went there Mad Deep and Trash was 1070 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: performing and then that's when my man Yami God Bless 1071 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 1: there was like, yo, let Mega perform. You know what 1072 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying. He was like, let Mega bron So Yeahmi 1073 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 1: jumped on the stage like they basically made him make 1074 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: me rhyme, like you know what I'm saying, because I 1075 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,320 Speaker 1: was the boys in the street. So I got on 1076 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: the stage and I run. When I got on stage, 1077 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,600 Speaker 1: I was like, Nas, come on, I brought Nays up, 1078 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 1: like he'll tell you that.

And then 1081 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,799 Speaker 1: that's a fact, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's 1082 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: that's at the end of the day. I always say 1083 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 1: this about Nas and Martep when people try to not 1084 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,879 Speaker 1: giving their credit. I'll say this, Nas and Mark Deep 1085 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 1: deserve their success because I'll tell you this, when I 1086 00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 1: was on the block hustling and getting into trouble and 1087 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,440 Speaker 1: doing all that they was in the studio, they worked 1088 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: harder for it. They earned it, you know what I'm saying. 1089 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 1: So that's their success wasn't given to them. And there's 1090 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,520 Speaker 1: a lot of artists. Queen Bridge has a story of history, 1091 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: but there came a point where some people just use 1092 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,000 Speaker 1: queen Bridge as like a credit card. Like think they 1093 00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 1: could just say queen Bridge and get it deal, or 1094 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,720 Speaker 1: just say Queens Bridge and you're supposed to get respect, 1095 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,479 Speaker 1: you have to work for that, you know what I'm saying. 1096 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: So so like y'all at one point, it is what 1097 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,760 Speaker 1: it is with that so Mega, there's been a rumor 1098 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: floating around dad uh CNN mob deep Nas supposed to 1099 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 1: be a queen's tall called Mega.

I think it's I 1116 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 1: think it's egos. Sometimes I don't know what it is. 1117 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: But with Queen's Bridge, with our small circle, you know 1118 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: what it is to Queen been just so fucking big. 1119 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 1: It's like six blocks. Break it down for people. There's 1120 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,439 Speaker 1: fortieship side of Tall Street, then it's forty first side 1121 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: of Trust Street. Then it's forty side of Time Street, 1122 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: and forty first side. There's no stocking south side, so 1123 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,439 Speaker 1: it's six blocks. You come down and each thing, which 1124 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,919 Speaker 1: block is big enough to be his own project, Each 1125 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 1: block is big enough to be left frack. That's a fact. 1126 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 1: One blocks there's a lot of frackers. Only one block 1127 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of rappers. That differences ain't even really 1128 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 1: from the rapper. It be from the people that hang 1129 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: with the rapper. Like nature and me Ben would have 1130 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 1: been working.

I heard 1142 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: about the tour, but I didn't hear nothing about core Mega. No, 1143 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing that. We didn't ask for decent names. 1144 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: We came here. That's you're basically me and you really 1145 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 1: know can is it? Is it even possible? Or at 1146 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 1: my you know, queen a queen because it was a 1147 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,480 Speaker 1: room when I just spread in the room, I'm helping 1148 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 1: spread the ROOMA do you think it's even possible? I 1149 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 1: think anything is possible if people want it to happen. 1150 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So my thing is this. 1151 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 1: On one of my albums, I said, I'm no longer 1152 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 1: seeking acceptance of people who ain't feeling me, or squeezing 1153 01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: my weapon for people who ain't realism me. So forget 1154 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 1: the weapon part. I'm trying to trying to make peace 1155 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 1: with people. I'm not extending my hand to a clinched fist. 1156 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 1: So I squashed all my differences with every rapper. I 1157 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,440 Speaker 1: don't got people, no rapper right now, you know what 1158 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying. The only the difference that that I had 1159 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: in recent years. It was a small thing that hurt 1160 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: me because I got I got history with Freddie Fox 1161 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 1: because that's my big bro. Wait what happened? And I 1162 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 1: wasn't nothing I said. It was a little misunderstanding pretty 1163 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: much like that. But we fixed that and I love him. 1164 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 1: That's my biggest so and I'm about to do with 1165 01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 1: him too, and y'all, y'all, y'all known. So me and 1166 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: him about to do some solid fun. Man, I'm about 1167 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 1: me and him about to do some music too. But 1168 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:54,360 Speaker 1: Freddy Fox, yeah so UMU. As far as as far 1169 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 1: as a queen's tour, I think that would be great, 1170 01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:02,480 Speaker 1: and I think it is possible. But some people rather 1171 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,720 Speaker 1: hold grudges than summit. So so because I think I'm hearing, 1172 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 1: but I'm not. But you and nos are on great terms, right, 1173 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what I don't know. I don't know 1174 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 1: what's going on? And I try and I don't care 1175 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 1: like I did my part, Like there was a you 1176 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 1: might when you're talking about the squashing on beef on stage, 1177 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 1: you might have been talking about when me and Nas 1178 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 1: came out together. No, no, no, this is definitely was 1179 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 1: squash might be for him in two thousand and six. 1180 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,320 Speaker 1: So if he has a problem, I don't know. I 1181 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 1: don't got no be for him. There hasn't been no 1182 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 1: mega disc records, no Mega side talk, no nothing. So 1183 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 1: if he still got an issue with me, that's something 1184 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 1: he got to take up with himself, because I don't 1185 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 1: got no way for him. I don't got no be 1186 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 1: for no rapper from Queensbridge.

You 1198 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,640 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying That it's not like it's not 1199 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 1: like he extends itself, So it's like I feel it's 1200 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 1: not worth it, Like if he still has differences with them, 1201 01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 1: I'd rather play the back and not. I don't got 1202 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 1: no beef with him, but I feel uncomfortable dealing with 1203 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: you if if you add with them, because sharm like 1204 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 1: these dudes, I haven't spoken to him in a long time, 1205 01:03:55,920 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 1: but they are mad loyal dudes, so pick up sheron them, 1206 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

So it's like I 1212 01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 1: don't have to be for him, but that needs to 1213 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 1: be fixed, you know what saying. Because at the end 1214 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 1: of the day, Sharon put in work for me and 1215 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,520 Speaker 1: Lake was like me, and Lake was like in separable, 1216 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, you could, like late 1217 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 1: is the type of dude if you said something bad 1218 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 1: about me, he would have did something to you. So 1219 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, saying, I can't front on that. 1220 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, I can't front on that. 1221 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Like so even though I haven't spoken them a minute, 1222 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 1: we won't. Everybody's doing their own thing, but I can't 1223 01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: front on them, Sharon. Sharon told me, Sherman is the 1224 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 1: reason why I chilled out, Like Shermon's like, yo, Mega, 1225 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: chill you don't have to do nothing like I'm here, 1226 01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,919 Speaker 1: like like they had me. You know what I'm saying, 1227 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,280 Speaker 1: So how can I How can I not? Let's aspect that. 1228 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: So it's like I try to be sometimes new truth 1229 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 1: doesn't work. I try to be neutral with certain things, 1230 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,520 Speaker 1: you know what, saying even with other people that me 1231 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 1: and you is cool with that, you know, I try 1232 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:14,600 Speaker 1: to be neutral, but sometimes it didn't work. So as 1233 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 1: far as the Queen's Bridge toy or Queen's tour, that 1234 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 1: would be dope. But people have to figure out what 1235 01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 1: the issue is, you know what I'm saying, Like your 1236 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,160 Speaker 1: man have to figure out what his issue is with 1237 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 1: me because I don't got an issue with him, right, 1238 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,800 Speaker 1: But what if it is just simply like you know 1239 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,320 Speaker 1: sometimes like for me for instance, I can't speak for 1240 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: anybody else not um. But I'm the type of dude 1241 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: that if I don't stay in contact with anybody, it's 1242 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,360 Speaker 1: not on purpose. It's not on purpose. It's just I'm 1243 01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 1: doing me mean, But my love doesn't change no matter 1244 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 1: where I see you, like you don't gonna tell me 1245 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,360 Speaker 1: you in Miami, you look in the crowd.

To keep it 1247 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,520 Speaker 1: real last time you performed out here, because you know, 1248 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,040 Speaker 1: it's just who I am. Let me tell you, and 1249 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 1: I always respect. Let me tell you something, not say this. 1250 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,160 Speaker 1: Nobody ever even knows this. The only reason that me 1251 01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 1: and you wasn't even even more cooler than we was 1252 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: was because certain people would have been mad. Let's keep 1253 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 1: it right, So so you know what I'm saying. It's 1254 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 1: it's like that in the game is funny.

I went to 1618 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,439 Speaker 1: jail because that's that was God's plan for me, because 1619 01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 1: if I got coot for stuff that I really did, 1620 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 1: I would have did more terms. But the thing that 1621 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 1: I went to jail four I didn't even do. They 1622 01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,280 Speaker 1: said I robbed somebody in theergy tram. Why would I 1623 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:30,479 Speaker 1: for a gun? Uh a police officer at that like 1624 01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 1: off duty correction officer up. So it's like that was 1625 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,559 Speaker 1: basically a cop set me up. Because there's this cop 1626 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,000 Speaker 1: that hated me and he set me up. His name 1627 01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:44,960 Speaker 1: was Connor Lee, and he just set me up. The 1628 01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 1: opposite of make noise for him basically. So basically I 1629 01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:52,920 Speaker 1: had I had a case that I was going to 1630 01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 1: court for and I beat it. So as I'm walking 1631 01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:01,560 Speaker 1: out the courtroom, they said, oh, you fit the identification 1632 01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,320 Speaker 1: of somebody. So I was like, this is a joke, right, 1633 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,400 Speaker 1: So I went with the cops. They put me in 1634 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:08,439 Speaker 1: the line up and next you know, her man, jail. 1635 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,080 Speaker 1: How long did you have to do? I was. I 1636 01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:13,960 Speaker 1: would have been I would have been in jail obviously 1637 01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:15,880 Speaker 1: for like up to two years until trial, but my 1638 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 1: crew bailed me out. So and then I hired David Cohen, 1639 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,880 Speaker 1: who was fat cast lawyer as my lawyer. Some real 1640 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 1: queenship right now, queens. So basically you tell it. First 1641 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 1: of all, I probably had had had the had the 1642 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,800 Speaker 1: crazy like we had the craziest guns in the hood. 1643 01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 1: So it's insult. And so you told me nigga, yeah, 1644 01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 1: a thirty eight at that that's you know, like I 1645 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 1: give those it's just popping now. So it's like at 1646 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,599 Speaker 1: that time, it was an insult. So I went to jail, 1647 01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,640 Speaker 1: something I didn't even do. So that's how I came home. 1648 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I came home on a pill and you know, getting 1649 01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,479 Speaker 1: the pills like winning a lotto. So basically, children wasn't 1650 01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 1: the first nigga came home on the pill. I didn't 1651 01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,680 Speaker 1: even know what I mean, Tupac it was. It was 1652 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:10,679 Speaker 1: called Mecca, you know, that's what the pill. I didn't 1653 01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 1: even know that. So basically, yeah, that's what I went 1654 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:16,120 Speaker 1: to jail for for that. So basically the reason I 1655 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:19,360 Speaker 1: came home because when I went to jail, I was 1656 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,799 Speaker 1: too I can't even call it stubborn. I was driven 1657 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 1: to not accept that because I didn't do that. I 1658 01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 1: wasn't going out like that because as soon as you 1659 01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: go to jail, they got all the exercise facilities and 1660 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,240 Speaker 1: all of that recreation facilities for you, so that that's 1661 01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,040 Speaker 1: a distraction. I didn't do that. I went to Lord 1662 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:40,800 Speaker 1: Library every day because it was mad inconsistencies in my case. 1663 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 1: So I started doing my own emotions, sent it to 1664 01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,800 Speaker 1: a lawyer. We started working back and forth. Next you know, 1665 01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 1: my pill. I got my pill. Like so um, I 1666 01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,360 Speaker 1: think it was a bless me going to jails, a 1667 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,639 Speaker 1: blessing in the sky. Because I went to jail, everybody 1668 01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:57,880 Speaker 1: is to be with got more time than me, and 1669 01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 1: I had a decent amount of time. So it was 1670 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,439 Speaker 1: whole All the good fellas pretty much went to jails 1671 01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 1: have a couple. So if I'd have been home, I 1672 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:06,720 Speaker 1: would have got caught up with that definitely. But while 1673 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 1: I went to jail, I got my g D two 1674 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:10,800 Speaker 1: years off of that. Now I did more than two 1675 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,679 Speaker 1: years just over that. Because you said you came holding 1676 01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 1: a pill. I came home after like three and change. 1677 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,920 Speaker 1: I wanted four years. I got a lot of time, 1678 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:23,320 Speaker 1: bro So so um, I went to jail. I went 1679 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,400 Speaker 1: to the box. While it's in the box, it's a 1680 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,280 Speaker 1: small little rooms, just a bed in the saying. You know, 1681 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,160 Speaker 1: you know the runnings. There's a little slit in the door. 1682 01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,040 Speaker 1: That's how that's where they give you your food. And 1683 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:40,720 Speaker 1: one day they passed. They came out with a book 1684 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:42,920 Speaker 1: with a book trade. They were dripping about the you know, 1685 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,200 Speaker 1: walking out of the book card. I got a book, 1686 01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 1: The Order Biography of Malcolm Max. That's the first book 1687 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,160 Speaker 1: I had in jailed, as well, Change My Life by 1688 01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 1: Alex Helley. Correct. That's I think every street kid in 1689 01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:59,120 Speaker 1: the world should read that. I read that book and 1690 01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,840 Speaker 1: it's like, wow, we because we're conditioned to believe that 1691 01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,840 Speaker 1: we're funk ups and there is no promised land for us, 1692 01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:08,800 Speaker 1: and like, once you go to jail, it's like your 1693 01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 1: life is over. Your convict, you can't do anything. So 1694 01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:14,600 Speaker 1: we're misled to believe that. So now I'm reading this 1695 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 1: book and I could relate to him, this dude that's 1696 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,840 Speaker 1: in jail, and he said he was, you know, he 1697 01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,680 Speaker 1: couldn't really read and all that that good. Then he 1698 01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:26,240 Speaker 1: started studying more. He became very articularly, became one of 1699 01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:31,439 Speaker 1: the most articulated speakers of his generation. So I said 1700 01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:33,000 Speaker 1: to myself, he could do it, why I can't do it. 1701 01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:34,560 Speaker 1: I might not could do it like he did it, 1702 01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,000 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna improve myself while I'm here in this circumstance. 1703 01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:42,320 Speaker 1: Why should I just beat another number statistic that the 1704 01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:45,760 Speaker 1: first two books already was that already um marcol X 1705 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,400 Speaker 1: and hard Son by Donald Ganes. I didn't read that yet. 1706 01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaker 1: He didn't read the first books I read. And there 1707 01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:55,680 Speaker 1: was the Bible and what is matter? What what what? 1708 01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 1: What we're religion coaches is called magna. I'm Muslim. That's why, 1709 01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,479 Speaker 1: that's why, that's why you didn't see me drink alcohol, 1710 01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,479 Speaker 1: Because first of all, you got the number one podcast. 1711 01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:13,920 Speaker 1: That's why make yers for that mega no one so nice. 1712 01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:18,720 Speaker 1: In this day and age, Islam get such a bad 1713 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,639 Speaker 1: stigma attached to it. Falsely, you're gonna be the negative. 1714 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:28,519 Speaker 1: Come here, it's called showing a dad. So showing a 1715 01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 1: dad like a Muslim window, say no, not that put 1716 01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:41,680 Speaker 1: like this almost almost prominent, positive and beautiful voice has 1717 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 1: been silenced. And that was and that was a brother 1718 01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,280 Speaker 1: by the name of Muhammad Ali who just recently passed. 1719 01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:49,720 Speaker 1: So it's like we need more positive role models for 1720 01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:52,839 Speaker 1: for Muslims. Like so when they say what is your religion? 1721 01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:57,479 Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't think God said about to 1722 01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:02,960 Speaker 1: have a religion. It's to be Muslim. Is is pretty 1723 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,560 Speaker 1: much the same thing as Christianity. We all believe in 1724 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 1: in one guard, you know what I'm saying. It's just 1725 01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:11,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of more, a lot more people 1726 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:15,560 Speaker 1: would would would would turn to Islam. But Islam is 1727 01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:19,280 Speaker 1: to discipline. Is too much discipline for certain people, Like 1728 01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 1: you don't you can't eat pork, you can't do certain things. 1729 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 1: You gotta pray five times a day. There's a lot 1730 01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 1: of you pray five times a day, not all the time. 1731 01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,439 Speaker 1: Because I'm not gonna say him live. That's cool. There's 1732 01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 1: things I need to see you. In the hood, it 1733 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,400 Speaker 1: was like three o'clock in the morning, it's mad, wild 1734 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:37,840 Speaker 1: goons out and you had the crown One chill with 1735 01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,719 Speaker 1: you the whole night.

I don't. I don't. 1738 01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna keeping her. I don't even be in 1739 01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 1: the hood all the time, neither. But I'm saying, like 1740 01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:54,320 Speaker 1: what it changed from where the ever we grew up 1741 01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 1: in There was time there was times when I used 1742 01:32:56,120 --> 01:33:02,280 Speaker 1: to come in the in the crib like I dig 1743 01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:04,200 Speaker 1: in this pocket, I get the cheated open the door, 1744 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,479 Speaker 1: but I got my hand on my gun in case 1745 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:09,559 Speaker 1: somebody trying to get at me, you know what I'm saying. 1746 01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:12,439 Speaker 1: So it's like there's still that, but it's not that 1747 01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:16,000 Speaker 1: element of it's not that element of aggressive like goon 1748 01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: aggression like it was when we was coming up.

I'm like, I'm like, 1789 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm the epitome of New York. I lived in mad 1790 01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,040 Speaker 1: different places or frequent in the a lot of different places. 1791 01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 1: But the Bridge was my base. The business. The Bridge 1792 01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 1: is responsible for my for my passion with hip hop. 1793 01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:12,840 Speaker 1: When people's careers took off, I'm talking about back in 1794 01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:15,479 Speaker 1: the days I was dead. I was there when bis 1795 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:18,400 Speaker 1: Markey first performed in the park. You know, I was dead. 1796 01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:22,519 Speaker 1: I was there for Smitty the Number Man when Smithy 1797 01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:24,639 Speaker 1: was the number one number. When I was there missing 1798 01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,439 Speaker 1: everything was that I was there when Craig had shout out, 1799 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. So I absorbed all that. 1800 01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:34,519 Speaker 1: But um, I think it's different places that I've been 1801 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:38,479 Speaker 1: in my life that that I cultivated All that together 1802 01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,680 Speaker 1: that made me like, like far Rockaway was like my 1803 01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:46,160 Speaker 1: gladiated school Rockaway. Edge Man is like edge Man is 1804 01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:49,240 Speaker 1: like the king of edge Man is the king of hoods, 1805 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 1: the king of grimy hoods like Far Rockaway. People don't 1806 01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,800 Speaker 1: understand that's that's a lot of people got beat up 1807 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:58,240 Speaker 1: in far Rockway because they thought queens were sold. So 1808 01:36:58,240 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 1: a lot of people used to just think they could 1809 01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,720 Speaker 1: come to the queen and didn't left fractic people think. 1810 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,160 Speaker 1: You know what the funniest thing about far Rocker keeping 1811 01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:07,640 Speaker 1: a hunting um is I went there one night and 1812 01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:11,000 Speaker 1: they got the chicken spot in the lobby. That was 1813 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:15,599 Speaker 1: like the first projects I ever seen that they got 1814 01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:20,120 Speaker 1: a chicken spot in the lobby, Like you gotta walk 1815 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 1: through Tarra to get a piece of chicken. If you 1816 01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:27,240 Speaker 1: got respected got far. If you got respected for Rocky real, 1817 01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:30,439 Speaker 1: you're a gun your gun bucker.

I love the Bridge. 1823 01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,920 Speaker 1: UM A lot of memories there, a lot of history there, 1824 01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:59,000 Speaker 1: put in a lot of work, a lot of friends there, family. 1825 01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:05,720 Speaker 1: So the bridges, the bridges to Quintas sent you. The 1826 01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:09,400 Speaker 1: Bridge might be the most important placed in hip hop 1827 01:38:09,520 --> 01:38:11,479 Speaker 1: history if you think about it. And I'm not saying 1828 01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:14,920 Speaker 1: this from a bias perspective, Like when you think of rap. 1829 01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:19,960 Speaker 1: Seant ushered in a whole new era for street rap 1830 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:23,280 Speaker 1: and for women. She's for queens. With Molly, mar changed 1831 01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:26,200 Speaker 1: the whole production game. Like you talk to the top 1832 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:29,680 Speaker 1: ten producers, They're all attributed some of their success to 1833 01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:33,519 Speaker 1: what Molly's done. Mc shan does not get the credit 1834 01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:35,760 Speaker 1: he deserved. He's one of the best m season if 1835 01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,360 Speaker 1: you listen to his other mc shan had the first 1836 01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:41,800 Speaker 1: UM concept record ever. He had that song talking about 1837 01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,000 Speaker 1: hip hop, like he had a song talking about cocaine, 1838 01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:48,400 Speaker 1: like it's a girl, Like like how comments Sense had 1839 01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:51,519 Speaker 1: that song about hipop had a song called cocaine. Listen 1840 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: to that like so Queen and then you think about 1841 01:38:57,040 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 1: like every major beef in hip hop, like the major 1842 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:06,439 Speaker 1: beef in the hip hop Queen Beach somehow or another 1843 01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:10,040 Speaker 1: guy attached to it. Even if you like any beef 1844 01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:12,840 Speaker 1: you can think about, like Queen Bench is so powerful 1845 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,080 Speaker 1: with hip hop. It's just like being there was like 1846 01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:20,120 Speaker 1: being if you're a rapper and you're really into wrap, 1847 01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,240 Speaker 1: growing up around Queen Beriach is like being in a 1848 01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:28,280 Speaker 1: dream about to spend of that.

So they 1888 01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,640 Speaker 1: so they named certain people like they named Having, and 1889 01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:56,479 Speaker 1: he said something that was disrespectful. Yeah, so's they mentioned 1890 01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:59,320 Speaker 1: having name then he died Having. I thought that was whack. 1891 01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,600 Speaker 1: So they said they mentioned Mega and he's like, I 1892 01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:07,439 Speaker 1: don't know. So my old thing was part of me 1893 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:11,040 Speaker 1: was like I just fought it. I fought myself because 1894 01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:12,960 Speaker 1: I was like, I ain't even that serious. He ain't 1895 01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:14,760 Speaker 1: even worth it. And and and the reason I really 1896 01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:18,880 Speaker 1: didn't say nothing because somebody said, he's just trying to 1897 01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:20,479 Speaker 1: get it. He got an album out, that's why you're 1898 01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:21,920 Speaker 1: trying to do that. So I said, you know what 1899 01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:23,800 Speaker 1: I wait till his album comes out and does what 1900 01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,120 Speaker 1: it does, and then maybe I'll speak to him about it. 1901 01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,840 Speaker 1: But he wanted attention and I wasn't gonna I wasn't 1902 01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:31,479 Speaker 1: gonna help him getting no extra sells, you know what 1903 01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, you know what I'm saying. I was 1904 01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:34,680 Speaker 1: just gonna pray for him and hope we get his 1905 01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:36,400 Speaker 1: life together, you know what I'm saying. But I was 1906 01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:38,080 Speaker 1: told you I was cool, so when I heard I 1907 01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 1: thought it was cool too. But you know, some people, 1908 01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:45,040 Speaker 1: some people be having that in some people got resentment 1909 01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:48,439 Speaker 1: in them, resentment issues because they feel like they should 1910 01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:55,120 Speaker 1: be you know, like he's not consistent. Put it like this, 1911 01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,880 Speaker 1: Like one time, I give a perfect example, somebody was 1912 01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:02,040 Speaker 1: talking my prodigies, but and then travels like, but he 1913 01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:04,920 Speaker 1: wasn't lying, though, But why would you say that you 1914 01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:06,920 Speaker 1: should have said nothing? You think you know what I'm saying. 1915 01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,880 Speaker 1: He had a documentary out before and he was sending 1916 01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,080 Speaker 1: it for nas. You know what I'm saying. You know 1917 01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:14,400 Speaker 1: we probably seen It's like, so, why why do you 1918 01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:16,280 Speaker 1: have an issue with everybody? Because that one time I 1919 01:43:16,360 --> 01:43:18,360 Speaker 1: did think it was cool. But at the same time, 1920 01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,879 Speaker 1: it's like I don't want to be cool with you anymore. 1921 01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't gonna beef with you, but I don't want 1922 01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 1: to be cool with you because you got some kind 1923 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:29,640 Speaker 1: of issues with me, and I don't need it. I 1924 01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:31,280 Speaker 1: don't even I don't need to try to figure out 1925 01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,880 Speaker 1: what those issues are. Now we can handle this, Like 1926 01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:37,280 Speaker 1: I don't I'm I'm I'm I'm trying to be a 1927 01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:40,519 Speaker 1: different person. But he know, like he promotes himself as 1928 01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:42,240 Speaker 1: a thug.

That's a 1963 01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,200 Speaker 1: problem in itself. Why are you worried about what two 1964 01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:25,120 Speaker 1: other men do? That's for one and for two dogs. 1965 01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,519 Speaker 1: I went up state.

So, but I didn't have 1968 01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:33,960 Speaker 1: no beef for him. Then I just looked at him 1969 01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,000 Speaker 1: like like I won't even know if he had come 1970 01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:37,320 Speaker 1: to see me, you know what saying. So it's like, 1971 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm not on that, you know I'm saying, like, Yo, 1972 01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm cool with everybody. You know what I'm saying. He 1973 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:44,640 Speaker 1: that was a test for me because you know what 1974 01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 1: the old Mega would it did. And at the same time, 1975 01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is wrong with him, 1976 01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:50,280 Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to figure it out. He's on 1977 01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:53,320 Speaker 1: a destructive pass. So I don't even have to think 1978 01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:55,880 Speaker 1: about what month is this July.

And most 2001 01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:32,680 Speaker 1: most most importantly, I'm gonna start putting some of my 2002 01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:35,920 Speaker 1: effort and energy into other artists because there's a lot 2003 01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:37,720 Speaker 1: of young artists that come to me for advice. There's 2004 01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:39,280 Speaker 1: a lot of older artists that come to me for advice. 2005 01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,080 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna start really like making the business because 2006 01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,280 Speaker 1: there's things that I give people for free that other 2007 01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:47,720 Speaker 1: people charge for. As far as advice, I do a 2008 01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:50,679 Speaker 1: lot of consulting. I do. I put people in situations 2009 01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:53,120 Speaker 1: where they get deals. Like I've done it, but I 2010 01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:54,960 Speaker 1: do it. I do it because I like to see 2011 01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:58,080 Speaker 1: my people eat too. But at the same time, there's 2012 01:47:58,120 --> 01:47:59,519 Speaker 1: people that I could do that. There's a lot of 2013 01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:04,080 Speaker 1: value exactly exactly looking for artists, this is an excellent question. 2014 01:48:04,800 --> 01:48:07,800 Speaker 1: If you're looking for artists, you're looking at what I'm saying. 2015 01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:11,040 Speaker 1: If you are you looking for the sound that you 2016 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:16,800 Speaker 1: came from or like again, like today, all the new 2017 01:48:16,920 --> 01:48:19,800 Speaker 1: artists that perform I forgot the girl name. I think, 2018 01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:25,639 Speaker 1: oh she right there. That was a Dutch fatacist. I think, 2019 01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:27,519 Speaker 1: like all the new artists, like you know what the 2020 01:48:27,600 --> 01:48:31,400 Speaker 1: people you know last of your lections. But when she 2021 01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,000 Speaker 1: came on, that was the sound that I was looking for. 2022 01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:36,040 Speaker 1: Like I just sat back, I was like, that's hard, 2023 01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:39,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, but it's not. It's 2024 01:48:39,160 --> 01:48:42,720 Speaker 1: not the sound that I came up to. Are when 2025 01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:44,759 Speaker 1: you look for artists, are you're looking for the new sound, 2026 01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:47,680 Speaker 1: you're looking for the old sound, or you're looking for 2027 01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:52,800 Speaker 1: just what's hot. First of all, hot people that look 2028 01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:55,560 Speaker 1: for how I always fail. Right for every label that 2029 01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:58,960 Speaker 1: signed a hot artists, show me ten labels that signed 2030 01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:02,200 Speaker 1: how artists. I would show you ten labels that's probably 2031 01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:04,719 Speaker 1: funked up those artists careers or failed with those artists. 2032 01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:10,040 Speaker 1: Because in life, anything that is hot cools off. So 2033 01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 1: when I when I when I when I see an 2034 01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:16,280 Speaker 1: artist or somebody that catches my attention, it's not even 2035 01:49:16,439 --> 01:49:21,080 Speaker 1: just skill because I'm looking for skill if it's for 2036 01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,760 Speaker 1: my personal appreciation, like if I want to listen to something, 2037 01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,040 Speaker 1: But as an artist, it has to be a total 2038 01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:31,200 Speaker 1: package because peak skill can be boring at times. You 2039 01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:33,160 Speaker 1: could be you could say some of the doper ship ever, 2040 01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:36,960 Speaker 1: but be boring. So as an artist, you have to 2041 01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:39,880 Speaker 1: have a package. You have to have a pill. As 2042 01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,040 Speaker 1: a person, you have to have character, you have to 2043 01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:46,360 Speaker 1: have skill, and then you have to have marketability. How 2044 01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:49,200 Speaker 1: marketable is this person. That's because at the end of 2045 01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:51,920 Speaker 1: the day, we don't sign people for glory. We signed 2046 01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:54,560 Speaker 1: up for a business, so I'm gonna invest in you. 2047 01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:58,280 Speaker 1: So I have to get my investment back. So the 2048 01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:00,840 Speaker 1: first artist I ever saw was Nya. I had had 2049 01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:03,760 Speaker 1: a Puerto Rican rapper named Danya. She was on my 2050 01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:08,120 Speaker 1: Leagals album. But I had a buzzing crazy she she's 2051 01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,880 Speaker 1: about to come back. I'm s had a buzzing so crazy, 2052 01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,760 Speaker 1: like big Big Labels was calling me about her. But 2053 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,640 Speaker 1: um then, um, she had a couple of babies and 2054 01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 1: she you know, she started doing her own thing. So 2055 01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:23,040 Speaker 1: I let her do her own thing. But when you know, 2056 01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:25,400 Speaker 1: I'm the type person when you're ready, will work. But 2057 01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,400 Speaker 1: I know I know how to market artists. And when 2058 01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:32,880 Speaker 1: I when you work with an artist, when you're a rapper, 2059 01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:36,599 Speaker 1: you can't wear both hats. Sometimes you have to take off. 2060 01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:38,840 Speaker 1: You take off your rapper hat when you're dealing with 2061 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,759 Speaker 1: your artists, Like you want your artists to be bigger 2062 01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:44,320 Speaker 1: than you, unless you just wanted, unless you want to 2063 01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:47,160 Speaker 1: stagnate yourself, like I told her, you're gonna be bigger 2064 01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,680 Speaker 1: than me. Y'allda YadA yalla. So when I when I 2065 01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 1: see an artist, if the artists don't, I don't care 2066 01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:54,679 Speaker 1: how dope they are, but I want the whole package, 2067 01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:57,840 Speaker 1: Like how how how much of impacting this artists have 2068 01:50:57,960 --> 01:51:00,800 Speaker 1: or how marketable is this artist? Like if you marketable 2069 01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:03,639 Speaker 1: and you dope, and that's an investment, but if you're 2070 01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:06,080 Speaker 1: just dope, that might just be a that's just good 2071 01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:08,320 Speaker 1: just for the neighborhood. I'm trying to do the world. 2072 01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:12,439 Speaker 1: But um, it feels like the Aposta in Corey, I 2073 01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:14,360 Speaker 1: want you in on this because it feels like the 2074 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:18,240 Speaker 1: atmosphere has changed right now. All the latest artists they 2075 01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:23,200 Speaker 1: have different color hair, ships changed a lot they have 2076 01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:29,000 Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, it's it's type persons like vers 2077 01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 1: Is that's something you either y'all ever get out Corey, 2078 01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:35,559 Speaker 1: Like you know, you've been in the game so long 2079 01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:37,120 Speaker 1: you can have an artist, you know what I'm saying. 2080 01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:40,640 Speaker 1: So is that something like because at the end of 2081 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:42,840 Speaker 1: the day, I don't care how you look, I don't 2082 01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:46,639 Speaker 1: care what your whatever, your preferences. If you make dope music, 2083 01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm in dope music. And that's what this generation is 2084 01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,920 Speaker 1: leaning towards.

They'll they'll promote 2248 02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:12,080 Speaker 1: you that week, they'll be retweeting everything you're doing. They're 2249 02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:14,680 Speaker 1: doing that, but then guess what after that week is 2250 02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:20,040 Speaker 1: over your number and their number is a rat because 2251 02:01:20,080 --> 02:01:24,160 Speaker 1: the journalists could never be friends with an artist because 2252 02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:27,600 Speaker 1: when it comes time to shoot on you, they can't 2253 02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:31,760 Speaker 1: be close to you. You understand what I'm saying. So 2254 02:01:31,920 --> 02:01:34,480 Speaker 1: that's the reason why I mean and I'm I'm this 2255 02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:37,400 Speaker 1: is a science. I'm breaking out. I believe in science, 2256 02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:43,760 Speaker 1: and in science, no journalist, like there's very few journalists 2257 02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:46,800 Speaker 1: that you can be close to, Like a Rob Marksman. 2258 02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:49,600 Speaker 1: That's a guy we need to step back and sir 2259 02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:53,720 Speaker 1: lope because that guy is about real hip hop and 2260 02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:59,240 Speaker 1: if people report something that is, he's gonna stand by Payne. 2261 02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:06,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of real journalists out there, journalistic integrity, 2262 02:02:07,680 --> 02:02:10,120 Speaker 1: but we know we don't have to. That's not my man. 2263 02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:19,080 Speaker 1: Doggy Diamonds, Doggie Diamonds the Street, but that's and he 2264 02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:21,880 Speaker 1: got a great podcast out there called No Filter. Pick 2265 02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:25,000 Speaker 1: that up. But besides that, some people don't know what 2266 02:02:25,120 --> 02:02:27,200 Speaker 1: they do to say, Like Doggie Diamonds, I sit on 2267 02:02:27,320 --> 02:02:29,920 Speaker 1: this phone with this nigga, I speak hip hop for 2268 02:02:30,040 --> 02:02:32,440 Speaker 1: two hours and I realized, Yo, I gotta get off. 2269 02:02:32,720 --> 02:02:34,640 Speaker 1: I gotta eat, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, 2270 02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:39,120 Speaker 1: there's many spear hip hop. These people don't care about 2271 02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:43,160 Speaker 1: that journalist. Oh, let me get hot and get some clicks. 2272 02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:46,400 Speaker 1: Those are the people I respect, right there, those people, 2273 02:02:46,520 --> 02:02:49,640 Speaker 1: the rob marks and the doggy diamonds. Is because it's 2274 02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:53,440 Speaker 1: about their integrity as opposed and just just just think 2275 02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:56,560 Speaker 1: about it. I've been, I've been in this game. I'll 2276 02:02:56,600 --> 02:03:02,920 Speaker 1: be twenty years at uh two was seventeen, okay, right? 2277 02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:06,920 Speaker 1: A journalist ain't never really trying to be your friend. 2278 02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:10,480 Speaker 1: And they make it clear they'll give you their email. 2279 02:03:10,560 --> 02:03:14,560 Speaker 1: They don't give you their phone number because phone numbers personal. 2280 02:03:15,400 --> 02:03:17,440 Speaker 1: So if you gotta do this phone number, still, watch 2281 02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:21,320 Speaker 1: out because there's twenty and sixteen. It's very different. They're 2282 02:03:21,360 --> 02:03:22,960 Speaker 1: just trying to get you to come and because they're 2283 02:03:22,960 --> 02:03:25,520 Speaker 1: trying to get ratings. But after that week it is over, 2284 02:03:25,680 --> 02:03:28,400 Speaker 1: after that day is over, they go right back because 2285 02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,520 Speaker 1: you know why, they might have to shoot on you. 2286 02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:35,080 Speaker 1: If your baby mother falls a lawsuit against you, they 2287 02:03:35,200 --> 02:03:38,720 Speaker 1: might have to. You know, this is what it is. 2288 02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:43,320 Speaker 1: We're here, We're not journalists, we're motherfucking your friends. And 2289 02:03:43,400 --> 02:03:46,240 Speaker 1: this is why when people say I'm cutting some guests off, 2290 02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:49,160 Speaker 1: some guests don't, I mean, some people don't understand that 2291 02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:52,200 Speaker 1: I know these fuckers. And when they're about to say 2292 02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:54,440 Speaker 1: they're about to shoot on one of my other friends. 2293 02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm saying, hey, well, because that's not what this is for. 2294 02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to they gonna come on here and 2295 02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:03,880 Speaker 1: shoot on nobody. Like when I asked you questions about NASA, 2296 02:04:04,000 --> 02:04:06,120 Speaker 1: the Firm, or even Steve Style, I didn't want to 2297 02:04:06,200 --> 02:04:08,360 Speaker 1: diss them. I didn't want to put them out there 2298 02:04:08,560 --> 02:04:10,600 Speaker 1: because it was NASA is my nigga. I got love 2299 02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:12,600 Speaker 1: of Steve Style. I haven't seen him in a long time. 2300 02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:15,120 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is people don't need to understand 2301 02:04:15,160 --> 02:04:18,160 Speaker 1: these stories because these stories are history. This is not 2302 02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:21,640 Speaker 1: something that we're making up. This is something that should 2303 02:04:21,680 --> 02:04:24,360 Speaker 1: be enforced, not because we're trying to put people out there, 2304 02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:28,280 Speaker 1: because other people can avoid these steps in their career. 2305 02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:32,040 Speaker 1: A guy came out to me earlier. We're sitting out there, 2306 02:04:32,080 --> 02:04:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm about to watch you perform. I told him immediately. 2307 02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:37,080 Speaker 1: He said to me, I said, my man, I got 2308 02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:41,000 Speaker 1: to watch my nigga perform. Elliott Wilson trained again, but 2309 02:04:41,160 --> 02:04:42,880 Speaker 1: he said to me, I said, I gotta watch my 2310 02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:48,480 Speaker 1: man performing in And he said to me, are you 2311 02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:53,840 Speaker 1: accepting are you accepting new artists on your platform, and 2312 02:04:53,960 --> 02:04:57,480 Speaker 1: I said no, not because I was trying to be disrespectful. 2313 02:04:57,880 --> 02:05:00,960 Speaker 1: But you got these other places. You got the hot 2314 02:05:01,080 --> 02:05:04,120 Speaker 1: nineties sevens, you got the Power one oh five, you 2315 02:05:04,240 --> 02:05:07,760 Speaker 1: got the fucking you know what I'm saying.

I don't google shit. 2320 02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:24,560 Speaker 1: I want to respect people that I respect. There's a difference, 2321 02:05:25,040 --> 02:05:29,080 Speaker 1: don't There's a difference a Q and A. You know 2322 02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:30,880 Speaker 1: that you want to press run and you go and 2323 02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:33,440 Speaker 1: you do your Q and A. We don't to promote 2324 02:05:33,480 --> 02:05:36,720 Speaker 1: your ship.

I'll say ahead. I'm way more 2354 02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:13,880 Speaker 1: thankful and appreciative to my fans than I've ever been. Um, 2355 02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:16,880 Speaker 1: it's seven like you grew up. Like before we get 2356 02:07:16,960 --> 02:07:18,800 Speaker 1: up out of here. That night, I met you in 2357 02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Queen's Bridge. I've seen you in Queen's Bridge. We were 2358 02:07:21,440 --> 02:07:24,720 Speaker 1: out there. Wow, my nights in the morning. I've never 2359 02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:27,200 Speaker 1: seen you more at peace at that time, Like, yeah, 2360 02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:29,720 Speaker 1: we broke down, yeah, but it seemed like nothing like 2361 02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:32,720 Speaker 1: I remember something said like it was like a little drama, 2362 02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Like not not drama, you know what I mean, but 2363 02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:36,680 Speaker 1: like something that came up and then you were just 2364 02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:39,520 Speaker 1: so at peace. I've never seen you that much at peace. 2365 02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:42,160 Speaker 1: That because of the religion, because you did have the 2366 02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:43,600 Speaker 1: crown on. So in my mind I was like, this 2367 02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:45,960 Speaker 1: thing is a Muslim for it. It might be because 2368 02:07:46,040 --> 02:07:48,240 Speaker 1: of that. It might be because of that, but it's 2369 02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:53,880 Speaker 1: also because it's like, um, I think the older you get, 2370 02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:55,480 Speaker 1: you're supposed to get wise and if you don't get 2371 02:07:55,520 --> 02:07:58,920 Speaker 1: wise up as you get older than you're just aging. 2372 02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:06,320 Speaker 1: But so also um where power comes responsibility. So it's 2373 02:08:06,360 --> 02:08:09,040 Speaker 1: like this is not like, let's just have beef right now. 2374 02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:11,640 Speaker 1: The old like, if let's say we need the hood 2375 02:08:11,640 --> 02:08:13,800 Speaker 1: and I got beat, the old me would be like, yo, 2376 02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:17,360 Speaker 1: get that the new me if I really got beef 2377 02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:19,720 Speaker 1: with somebody. First of all, the average person that's in 2378 02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:23,880 Speaker 1: the street that's not a thinker. It is predictable. So 2379 02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:26,720 Speaker 1: I know, all I gotta do is know your habits 2380 02:08:27,240 --> 02:08:29,000 Speaker 1: and I'll get you. I could get you a year 2381 02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:30,880 Speaker 1: later because you're gonna stand in the same place. You 2382 02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:32,960 Speaker 1: don't gonna drink at the same place, You're gonna hang 2383 02:08:33,040 --> 02:08:35,080 Speaker 1: in the same circles. So I could wait a year 2384 02:08:35,160 --> 02:08:37,480 Speaker 1: or two and get you as opposed to just I'm 2385 02:08:37,480 --> 02:08:40,360 Speaker 1: getting them right now. So I'm wise up. So the 2386 02:08:40,480 --> 02:08:42,520 Speaker 1: wiser you get, the moment you get, but the more 2387 02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:44,960 Speaker 1: dangerous you get too. At the same time, but the 2388 02:08:45,040 --> 02:08:49,880 Speaker 1: reason I'm at pieces also, like I said, before I 2389 02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:55,600 Speaker 1: started win my life in my situations, like a lot 2390 02:08:55,640 --> 02:08:57,280 Speaker 1: of the beasts I got to on the street wasn't 2391 02:08:57,280 --> 02:08:59,600 Speaker 1: even my beef. I was like, damn, I had people 2392 02:08:59,680 --> 02:09:02,200 Speaker 1: this dude because I popped off for my for this dude, 2393 02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:04,560 Speaker 1: that's my man. And I had be with this dude. 2394 02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Because this dude happy for them, it's never really me. 2395 02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:11,560 Speaker 1: So now I started mounding my business like if somebody 2396 02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:14,320 Speaker 1: that that's cool with me, So I was like cool 2397 02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:18,000 Speaker 1: with me.

Let's suppose 2714 02:26:24,200 --> 02:26:27,800 Speaker 1: you in Dozudorf, Germany. Suppose you're a Moscow and you 2715 02:26:27,959 --> 02:26:30,160 Speaker 1: look like this is this is the main street, right, 2716 02:26:30,240 --> 02:26:32,760 Speaker 1: this is the main street of whatever market or whatever 2717 02:26:32,840 --> 02:26:35,720 Speaker 1: place you go to, and you look and the promoters like, yeah, 2718 02:26:35,720 --> 02:26:37,840 Speaker 1: that's the best restaurant, and you would be like, all right, 2719 02:26:37,920 --> 02:26:40,440 Speaker 1: that's the best restaurant. But the hip hop flag is 2720 02:26:40,560 --> 02:26:43,800 Speaker 1: right here. I can go there and do some lie. 2721 02:26:44,080 --> 02:26:46,280 Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever get that flag, all right, 2722 02:26:46,560 --> 02:26:51,760 Speaker 1: because my dream has been crushed. The police hurt my 2723 02:26:51,840 --> 02:26:54,360 Speaker 1: feeling this place because I don't hurt. You know what, 2724 02:26:55,640 --> 02:26:57,920 Speaker 1: why don't you make one?

I mean, it's gotta be more than 2730 02:27:12,080 --> 02:27:14,920 Speaker 1: just it's just. It's got to be an organization. But 2731 02:27:16,040 --> 02:27:17,800 Speaker 1: you know what, it's deeper than hip hop though, because 2732 02:27:17,840 --> 02:27:19,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, let me tell you 2733 02:27:19,320 --> 02:27:23,400 Speaker 1: something that I've learned from the world. Everywhere in the world, 2734 02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:30,680 Speaker 1: people are biased towards people of color, and hip hop 2735 02:27:30,760 --> 02:27:34,200 Speaker 1: is just wanted to identifiers of our culture.

They always assume that we're up to something, 2738 02:27:41,080 --> 02:27:44,840 Speaker 1: and they always look at a suspicious uh. You have 2739 02:27:44,959 --> 02:27:48,960 Speaker 1: to learn, especially certain European places.
