So Mecca, let me let me just 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.800 ask you. You have what I like to call a 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.080 cult following. With me, it was what it means no 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.480 matter where you go, there's always fans. There's always people 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.280 who come out, die hard fans, like, how did you 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.639 build that? I don't even have an answer for. It's 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.360 a blessing. That's not something that that I had a 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.440 plan for. Like I said, I'm just gonna have cold 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.440 following and people just fucking with my music veryway. But 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.880 that ship is a blessing, Like I could have had 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.480 no fans like you already know you like men, you 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.640 know each other very long time. There's been times when 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.160 when the world was against like the industry was against me, 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.640 and and doors is closed on me, and people was whispering, 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.000 don't funk with Mecca. So it was like I didn't 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.720 know what I had fans. And then I just made music. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.080 I just I just tested myself, like men A, I 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.400 put out I put out the first rap mixtape member 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.200 before dudes doing mixtape. I did that when I was 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.160 gonna violate on the show because I needed to see 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.080 how people felt about me. It was like a test. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.680 So I put out the Montana Way and then um, 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.600 it's so mad Units. And then when I went on 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.120 tour with DMX, places like he just lost on us. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.680 Make some noise for him. Going on tour with DMX 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.359 needs you to finish. I need you to finish. But 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.840 I also need to ask you how many dates did 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.080 DMX show up to? He showed up to every day 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:35.479 every day. Make some noise where DMX wasn't crazy. I 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.080 did a tour with DMX. We did thirt or two 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.159 days he showed up for fourteen. But let's send the 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.080 story was saying, so you went on to with DMX. Yeah, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.040 I went on tour with dm X, and um, we 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.359 went to places like Chicago, Detroit, etcetera, et cetera, and uh, 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.360 when I was there, I didn't know people was gonna 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.560 know my music, so I didn't even want to perform it. 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.400 But when I did perform, I got as loud as 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.080 ovation as anybody, so it was like wow. So that's 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.640 when I knew that the mixtape apute. So I just 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.640 what I do is I careter to my audience. So 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.240 I guess that's why I have a loyal following, because 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.159 I don't change up on them, like you know what 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.000 you're gonna get when you get a mega album, right, 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.719 and you never really tried to like make a radio record, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.320 Is that true or no? I never Well when I, um, 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.640 I didn't make a dream of Call Thomas before okay 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.720 remember that, and um that was like that was a 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:27.920 crystalty move. Recipes and Christmas benefited both of us. So 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.080 I made a joint. I wasn't comfortable with it, but 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.200 I didn't hate it. But it's like if I would 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.679 have been on deaf gym. There's certain kind of music 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.200 that I would have been having to make that I 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.919 wasn't comfortable with. And when I started doing my own music, 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.120 just with answering that nobody, I was able to do 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.600 what I want. So I like that. You know what 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:45.760 I'm saying. I don't want to I don't want to 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:50.480 have excuses for my music, right, So, so um the course, 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.240 So let's say if you had a choice independent of Major, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:55.680 and you had a chance to do it all over, 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.400 what with that choice? And I already had a choice 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.520 that Major hoping at me after the run it like nah? 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.400 And you you you like the independent. I like the independent. 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:09.919 Let's make some noise for him being the hustle that freedom. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.760 So Correy guns, right, sir. One of the first times 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.320 I heard of you was Saquille O'Neill was talking about you. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.560 Was that your first deal? Yeah?

But um so, yeah, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.120 so he's your godfather and then he's how does this 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.600 he hears you rhyme? Yeah, I would be around him 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.400 in the studio, around my pops and around she killing 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.120 the studio a lot, and I'd be wanting to, like 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.800 doro my freestyles. I'll be writing while they're working on music. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.760 I'll be writing my own stuff. And after a while 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.800 they started like like God, like, let him, let's see 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.520 what he do. After a while, they just she just 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.440 started rolling. He started laughing. Serious hip hop Yeah yeah, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.240 serious track asked me to do a record. I asked 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:49.520 him to write to rhyme. He was like no. I 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.040 was like, oh ship, because I heard was writing his ribs. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.920 I was like, oh ship, Like he had his own ship. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.520 He was really hip hop, that's what's up. Let's makes 0:07:55.520 --> 0:08:00.440 the noise shack me here. So now I want to 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.080 ask both of y'all this question because I watched that 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.600 go on stage and you said something that was very 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.600 ill to me. You said, I'm not a rapper, I'm 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:12.120 a lyricist. Now it's there. It's there two different versions 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.800 of hip hop or is it three? Is it hip 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.240 hop lyricism and then wrap or is this just hip 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.480 lyricism falls under the zone of hip hop? Come on camera, guy, 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.320 come on and you've got a surfboard, so on too. 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.880 Hip hop going on? But does lyricists fall onto the 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.120 version of hip hop? So it's two different hip hop 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.000 and rap. Wrap the son you do hip hop son 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.839 you live, that's fact, and lyricism falls under the what 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.599 you do. It's like, um, that's interesting. So there's no 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.839 beat right now. It's our words that carry us. It's 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:52.840 our words that that that will differentiate us or separate 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.679 us from rappers. You know what I'm saying. And it's like, um, 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.400 a rapper, you don't. You will never re rhyme. Remember 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.000 when needs to be cossette And we hear something that 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.960 just blew our mind. We used to rewind the ship. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.600 You won't rewind the rapper. You only be wrong lyricist. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.000 You you want to catch what he's saying. You know 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.000 what I'm saying. You were wrong, Big Daddy can't cool 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.560 you wrapped? You know what I'm saying. You're one ever queens, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.360 You're one dope m C. But the rapper, you're just 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.000 enjoying it. Most rappers get carried by their beat or 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.720 by their marketing O. Lyricists get carried by his words. 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.320 That's why every time you notice I'll do a show, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.080 I could drop the music. I don't need a music 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.000 and I never used hypening, but the crowd are still 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.920 into it. That's a difference. That was So how you 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.320 feel about agree? Yea? I definitely do? Now now all 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.360 right with all this going on? Right you? You've been 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.839 on death Jam, You've been on multiple different labels. Have 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.080 anybody ever approached you and said, you know what um 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.839 Mega or Corey? You know what you guys are doing 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.960 is cool? But why not why? I think you said 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.439 Chris Lady earlier. But was that the only time or 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.360 there was other times where people try to get you 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.599 to change your stop. I remember when I made the 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.920 song Testament. But I made the song Testament. It made 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.679 crazy noise in the industry. You probably remember. I remember 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.480 clauke Ken used to come up to Depth like, Yo, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.319 this is the one like Streets. Everybody loved it, and 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.600 I'll never forget Julie Greenwall. I'll never forget you records 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.840 right now. She said this is cool, but you need 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.079 something hot. And when she said that, it made my 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.280 stomach sick because I knew that that was a record. 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.800 I went hard on that record lyrically. The production was 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.280 crazy and I got respect, you know, as an m C. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.880 I was a rapper. You know, we give we give 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.240 salent praise to each other sometimes to be like, you 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.520 know you're doing this thing, they might not say it 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.400 to you. So when I did that, that's one of 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.240 the first song with rappers. Was coming up to me like, Yo, 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.880 that joint is. So I knew it was strong, and 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.199 I knew that from me not having a song but 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.520 being on tour with DMX. That's the song I closed with, 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.400 So I knew it was a strong Street record. But 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.240 she's telling me something else, and that's where I knew 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.040 there was a conflict.

You had the nas and then we're 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.520 hearing it was Termorial a little bit with Steve Stouton 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.439 name was in there, and then I kind of know 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.520 the story a little bit, but the fans don't. We're 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:56.760 gonna do its past seven years, make no noise. What's 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.200 the timeline? The real is that song on the real 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.559 what's the timeline from what you're talking about. That that 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.560 was soon as I came home on the real sous. 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.480 You came home, okay, But now this death jam problems 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.719 we heard, like what was the issue? First thing? I mean, 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:16.600 basically you already said the person's name, you know, um Basically, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.520 I don't. I don't. I don't like talking about I'm 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.480 I'm past that that stage. But he had he got 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.439 a lot of power, you know what I'm saying, and 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.400 him last week and we think he's coming for us, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:38.120 but don't work. We weren't here. It's okay, Steve stops squad. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:44.000 So once once, you know once certain people. Basically it 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:48.560 was like this. When I first came home, you already 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.200 know a lot of stuff that was going on behind 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.480 the scenes. I was off the production deal and I 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.080 didn't I didn't jump right on it. I've always been 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.240 a businessman, Like I'm not saying I'm Steve jobs and ship, 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.839 but I was on a point with certain things, like 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.880 one of the first books I bought was all you 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.760 need to know about the industry like that. I always 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.840 had all my publishing, even when I was on Depth Jam. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.320 I own all my masters right now. I never said 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.000 the Realness is a classic or true man, and the 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.839 fans said it. So there's independent albums that artists that 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.880 own these stuff, but it's your music doesn't matter. Like 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.040 I own certified classics, I own the Realness mass, I 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.240 own a testament mans, I own born and raised masters. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.760 So my kids, I could die right now. My kids 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.839 is great, you know what saying. So it's like, um, 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.160 I was on talking about business, so I wasn't gonna 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.560 rush into sign in the production deal. But Steve has 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.280 like he had like you know how it is. He 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.400 has a certain way about himself. All of them got it. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.880 Chris got it. Yeah, Yea got it. Mark got it. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.800 As a man, see, I was considering doing it, but 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.439 it's just certains a drink right there too. That's a 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.880 little bit of rose. Just some kids, you know what. 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.280 Let's think about it. Let's think about it. Finish his 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.599 story though. So as a man, there's certain things you 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.079 don't say to a man. You know what I'm saying, Like, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.280 I'm a man at the end of the day, I'm 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.280 not a sucker that's trying to get on because, to 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.280 be honest with you, those days I have more money 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.600 when I wasn't rapping when I was doing other things. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.560 So it's like he Steve is the type of person, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.199 like he once said to me, like you think you 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.960 would even have a deal if it wasn't for us, 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.720 or like like he says things like that that makes 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.160 you question yourself. So if I was signed that, I 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.240 wouldn't respect it myself. So it was like certain things 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.320 and then you already know what happened with the song 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.120 A lot of familiar, but we don't know. I'm talking 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.640 to each other. You don't know what you want to know. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.880 He told my man Benz Mega doesn't sign the production deal, 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.040 that remix that other song will be the last that 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.280 you hear from him with the firm. So I was like, 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.120 in my mind, I was like, he's bugging because I'm 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.120 on alt familiar, So what is he talking about. I'm 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.440 thinking like that thing with a lot of familia came out, 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.920 I wasn't on it. They took me up and putting 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.360 nature on it, so I thought it was a firmtive action. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.560 Now I'm on a front of action, front of acted 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.960 the first front soon. But at the end of the day, 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.480 it is at the end of the day, it's like 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.720 this Steve is a marketing genius. You know what I'm 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.960 saying straight up, It's just that money ain't everything. Some 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:17.320 people are morally bankrupt financially rich. Like a few years 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:25.800 ago he did an let that shirt that was ill. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.760 That was ill, Mega police continue. My thing is this, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.240 if I got money like him, I'm not thinking about 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.120 a Coremega. I'm not gonna be sending like like in 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.040 the last I don't know how many years ago it 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.360 was recent years. He did an interview and then he 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.880 was and he said something about me that wasn't too 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.640 that it wasn't disrespect, but I wasn't feeling it. He 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.160 was trying to name people on the firm and he 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.120 was like they was talented, and he said I was. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.320 He said, Mega wasn't even in the firm. It's like 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.480 you're trying to raise the history like like come on dogs, 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.120 like I was on the front of action, Like so, 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.640 so what was that that moment that it was the 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.640 firm was over like um when you stepped away? Um 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.080 you know, nor no, But I mean we don't know, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.240 Like I mean, I mean we're like, like you know 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.320 what it is you have history is so rich and 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.840 you don't really. Um, you know, you don't do a 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.280 bunch of interviews. You go, you do what you gotta do. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.640 But this is something that the fans gotta know and um, 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.360 and for those who do know, be refreshed about you 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:23.640 know what I'm saying, because this is a hip hop 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.880 form right here. This ain't no corny ship hip hop form. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.360 Let's speak to the fans for real. You know what 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.600 I'm saying. Corn you want to drink too, come on, 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.320 let's do it. Fifteen years on, let's stop it right now. 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:43.840 Fifteen years.

Let me know if you don't 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.480 drink that cop, I'll knock it down. So so, what 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.920 was the exact moment where it was like the firm 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.440 is no longer now that further still longer than I mean, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.840 like like the original the original? Yeah, Um, I don't 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.480 know when I when I didn't signed a production deal 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:08.920 and after I got a raised off the song, I 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:10.680 knew that was a rap, you know what I'm saying, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.119 But it was it was for him telling you to 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.639 sign the production deal. I mean he wanted me to 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:16.879 sign it. It was a lot of it was a 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.040 lot of bullcrap going on. Put it like that, and 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.720 there was a lot of it was a lot of 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.680 you know, you know, it was a lot of funny 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.040 business going on, and there was a lot of um. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:31.480 You know the situation when nature, um, me and Nature 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.480 didn't have no major beef like people thought. You know, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.480 now did that start because yeah, let's let's break that 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.960 down for me. Well, that was just that was just 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:45.000 um because nates just just kid from burning. Now, Natures 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:52.880 from testry when they were from burning. Okay, so basically 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.119 when Nature basically this is what happened. This is what 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:58.399 I got from Nature one day they was in the 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.440 studio and it was in the entire co Omega environment 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.680 and Nigga's gas Nature to say something about me on 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.600 the song on that free Style actually used on it too. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:12.679 I was on it from wasn't it wasn't the Couci 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.439 rap ship. I don't know. I got to do my research. 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.600 I might be another one. But cool So Mary J 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.800 was on the joint that's this yeah, yeah, so I 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.040 never thought even that you I know he went that, 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:29.800 okay ahead, So so then when I heard that, so 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.320 I at the time when he went at me like 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.600 you know me, when you were Nature cool before that, 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.359 we was all right, we don't have no druma on that, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.920 but you know me, like you get wrapped and look 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.760 at my circle, Mega buss is gone. That's a fact, 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:47.719 No guy, we might we might have a drunk stackterial 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:49.920 that that dream brought up. Remember when we did the 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.080 show when pone came home. We didn't hear in Miami. 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.800 I think that they squashed the beef on stage. Nature 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.840 on stage at that show been cool. But I'm saying 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.680 all showed face for the first time like that, Me 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.879 and Nature been Me and Nature been cool because they 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.080 definitely a lot of What year was that when poone 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.520 came home and poone came home that's two thousand and one. Yeah, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.159 so you might be a little off with that. It 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.240 might have been on stage together, but they've been and 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:16.879 they just did a lot of But you gotta remember 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:23.080 the internet wasn't popping back. They ain't know on Miami. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:25.160 So that's the first that's all you never hear about. 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.080 You never heard the media or the fans speculating about 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.760 me and naate anymore because I made I made sure 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.000 people know what we're cool. Even on my last album, 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:35.840 I put nature on my hand. But how did how 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.920 did it actually start? So it was no term murray 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.280 before he said something before that free stuff. Now it 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.159 was like it was like regular project. I mean regular, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.159 it was just regular. So where was you at when 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:47.760 you hear that? I was at the crib and I 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.399 got a call like, yo, nature went at you and 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:52.680 this is a cree when you lived in Brooklyn or 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.160 you lived on Union Turnpike. That's when I had to Yeah, 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:03.359 you have to come to the little kick, you know you? 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.560 So so when when that happened, I got the quarters 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.600 like your nature went at you? And I was like, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:18.840 you're joking? Did you went at me? Um? I blame 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.320 both because it's like this, if somebody, if somebody put 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.879 a hit on you, somebody, if a boys put a 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:26.679 hit on you, I'm not going for the soldier. I'm 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.760 going for the soldier and the boys. That's how you 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:30.399 looked at it. That's exactly how I looked at it. 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.639 But but that I didn't believe that he dissed me. 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.760 I guess because there was a point like I'm a 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.520 different person than what I used to be, Like back 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.200 then I was fresh out and I was like, I 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:46.240 was just wow, and like my circle was so for 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.879 him to diss me, I was like this, I'm like, 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:53.679 you're joking, like seriously, like you're joking, like like somebody 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.000 found me hard in the basketball game in the center 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:58.000 before and dudes knocked him out, like you know how 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.600 protective my people is so and he lives in that circle. 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.480 It's like you're being It's like you're fish in the 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.000 water a bunch of sharks and you violate one of 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.320 the sharks. It's like serious. So when that happened, I 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.320 thought him, I thought it was a joke. And then 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:13.560 somebody else like yo, So then I've seen him and 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:19.440 stuffing on the hell let's talking about that. He already said, 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:24.760 already said said all right, well cool, he's a cool niggers. 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:28.679 My brother Jermain back stuff. So that's what we call 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:34.040 let's fast forward that. So that incident happened, and then um, 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:38.240 right after that, I was so mad, you know what 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.159 I'm saying that I went to the studio and then 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.480 and that's when I that's how and that's how the 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:47.240 that's how the dishes started. So when and that's the 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:51.000 thing I don't like when you when you're a likable artists, 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.879 like they're flipping like you're the good guy or like 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:56.879 it's a lot of it's a lot of politics. So 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.480 then it started becoming oh megadsk nature and etcetera. And 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.040 it takes away the fact that he went at you 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:05.880 first exactly, so you're not saying, oh, he just Mega 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.200 and then Mega responded y'all just making it like, oh, 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.359 Megan just woke up angry one day and wanted to 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.840 did somebody and that wasn't the truth or like you 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:15.280 know what I'm saying, Like you said, Nori been in 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:16.880 my career when I had a career with the door 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:20.520 man and cameras and in the ceiling high like this 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:22.920 person they got seen with the door man, I was like, 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:29.360 I need this and this is no yo Yo who 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.880 had the sick think about this for a second, who 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:35.240 had the sickest party ever been too? Forgot about that 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.040 house party with no did with no album out, no 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.160 record at DJ absolute DJ in the house, Nori Cave, 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:47.959 other rappers was there. We had Champagne tolling, it hit 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:52.160 that champagne. Let's this man, Come on, take a sip, 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:54.200 Take a sip. Come on, man, come on, you got 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:55.879 you can't be the only guest that didn't drink. You 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.680 gotta you gotta do it, You gotta do it. Just 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:03.680 is sip. This is I think about fifteen. Pick it 0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:10.720 up though, pick up? So all right, so how do 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.960 you nature work out to be? For now? Now? It's 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.960 all because I felt like and I don't mean no dispect, 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.200 but in a certain way, it was almost like it 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:21.880 was like a pond and it was a bigger scheme today. 0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:24.119 But definitely what Nature telling me? That one thing? You know, 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:25.920 I was about to ask you, let me tell you something. 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.640 Let me tell some street knowledge. You want to find out. 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.239 You want to find out who your real friends are, 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:38.840 actual enemy? Whoever your enemy is not uncomfortable around, ain't 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:43.600 your friend? So when when after the situation of me 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.399 and nature happened? First of all, he's dropping carerest on 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:55.520 jewels so to stop drinking good. So after after situation 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.119 had with me and nature, we spoke and I was like, yo, 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.159 what made you do that? Because the thing by this 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:04.240 every day? Who am I with? I'm with? Shirm like 0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:10.439 you know, like my crew is crazy phrase like uh 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:16.080 karate so and you know, like you got like these 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:17.720 are dudes you gotta see every day because I'm not 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:19.919 out there all the time. You gotta see them every day. 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:21.960 So why did you do that? So so then he said, 0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:25.520 you ain't gonna front. He said he was in the studio. 0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:27.919 It was an anti mega environment. So I guess they 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:31.399 were talking my MoMA back you know, y'alla y'all to 0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.560 then somebody inspired him. He went in the booth. He said, 0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.359 the track masses recorded him, but he thought it was 0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:42.000 just like, you know, they're just joking and fucking around, 0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.280 So he went home. When he went home, they mixed 0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:47.320 it and put his verse on on the drunk and 0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:52.399 put it out so so um so then when he 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.719 came out and then that's how that's how everything started. 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.000 But at the end of the day, I hate talking 0:24:57.040 --> 0:25:01.119 about that. No, it's it's okay. And Nature is a 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.760 great guy. Um and it's just history, you know what 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:06.800 I'm saying. So um uh So you do you say, 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:09.680 how did you fix it? You sat down with spoke, Yeah, 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.959 we've been right, and then our court we like everybody 0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.320 want to know, like you've been on Hi Hitus, Like, um, 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.880 you're one of the favorites. Everybody's you know, next up 0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.920 to pick to be the next guy, and it's like, 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:25.200 you know, if you've got the case, we understand that. 0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:29.640 But what's happening is the Baby and Wayne situation kind 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:33.800 of pulling you away or um not necessarily. That's something 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.320 that I wish would be would be fixed really really 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:41.280 really really soon. Does it look fixed? Um, I'm still 0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.440 I'm gonna be honest, I'm still on the outside looking 0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.680 in on the situation, so I don't really I don't 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:48.399 really know the details of it, but I'm hoping that 0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.680 it gets fixed resolved really really soon. I've been working though. 0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:53.680 I gotta do a lot of music and I just 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:56.240 hold it. I gotta have it holding my music, and 0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.040 I've been I've been working on the project called Criminal Minded. 0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:03.920 Have to release that in like October because three New York. 0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:06.520 It feels like we're coming back. Um, you know how 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.840 I like right now, young m A. You know I'm 0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:12.240 talking about getting made the girl. Yeah, yeah, she's she's 0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:16.960 like Moby smurderdank to make some noise for that. That's 0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:21.200 the first that's the first day rapper. I am co sign. 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.359 I don't like young m A. And it's crazy because 0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.119 component will never come outside. I was seeking compone at 0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:27.760 her shoulder other day. I had to call that Nick. 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:31.840 I said, I'm proud of you coming. That's my day. 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:35.000 I'm sorry you laugh. It's okay, UM, but New York 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:37.720 is coming back. We got younger may, we got designer. 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.960 You think your flow fixing with the young uns or 0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.680 you more of an o G now. I think I 0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:48.480 grew up in UM. To answer that question, I came 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:50.919 up in the I'm gonna be honest, I came up 0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:56.920 listening to y'all. I came up listening to you, like 0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:59.840 I feel like I was. I grew up in between generations. 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:02.520 So it's like I got the kind of like the UM, 0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:06.800 certain respect for the history and a certain respect for 0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:10.159 the craft that a lot of people don't know that 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.639 I have knowledge yell. A lot of people will probably think, oh, 0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:14.320 he too young, or he too this or two that 0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.840 you don't know about this. So it's like I was, 0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:22.200 really I think I having that knowledge and having being 0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:25.119 grown up listening to the lyricists and just listening to 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:29.160 people with different different flows styles, shout out the pun 0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:34.200 just different people. You know what I'm saying. Um, I 0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:37.320 think I don't ever think my flow be. I think 0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:40.080 I don't never think my flow be do. I think 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:45.680 it's timeless and I don't think should be. Like I 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:48.240 want to get into a whole lyrics lyricist thing. But 0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.800 what I'm trying to say to you is being on 0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.680 young money. Yeah, let's say this ship works out tomorrow. 0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:58.240 As much as a lyricist you are, you gotta play 0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:00.399 with that. Would you be willing to play with that 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:06.280 other world because that's your money? Yeah, the word is young. Yeah, 0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:08.440 you gotta have fun with it. You gotta have fun 0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:10.159 at the same time. That's what it's about at the 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.200 end of the day, loving what you do and when 0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:14.159 you love what you're doing and in the y'all, and 0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.320 it works. So that's what That's what's mainly been keeping 0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.040 me motivated at the end of the day. Like I 0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:22.520 just balancing it, like knowing the balance, like having a 0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.639 knowledge and still knowing the balance. My Christmas gifts when 0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.320 I was a little with albums, I wanted albums and 0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:31.240 radios and stuff like that. Wayne album Block Is Hot 0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:34.560 was on my Christmas list. Like to be honest, I 0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:38.840 even met him. So I grew up just just in 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.320 a in an environment and just want to do want 0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:44.800 to be an artist first, but at the same time 0:28:44.880 --> 0:28:47.320 knowing that you gotta have fun my pops to be. 0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:49.200 To be real with you, my Pops didn't want me 0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.880 to wrap like he was like people want different people 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.040 on the block would tell them about me when I 0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.560 first started writing my all stuff say one time that 0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:01.320 he didn't want you to wrap, but he seece you 0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.480 spend bars and realize you were better than him. And 0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.160 that's funny that I seemed to interview you know what 0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.400 I mean. That's ill, but I mean that's your pop, 0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.800 so it's it's no disrespect to him. Yeah, he definitely 0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:13.960 my biggest inspiration. How do you feel about him on 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.360 Love and Hip Hop? You agree or it's like, fuck it, 0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:20.160 I'm gonna be honest. When I first heard about it, 0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:22.880 I was more worried about what other people think. But 0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.120 it's like, as long as my Pops is good and 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:26.959 at the end of the day, that's my father. I'm 0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:28.800 riding with him whether you're wrong or right. Oh and 0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:30.920 he's shot it too. He glowing. Man, I see that 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:32.960 the other day, I said, were you looking like money? 0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:39.040 You know? What's so dope? Man for people to be 0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:42.000 in this music But because there's so many bitter people, 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.440 you know what I'm saying that being in this music business, 0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:46.920 they don't because if you don't get what you get 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:48.960 in this music business, a lot of the times, ninety 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.640 percent of the blame is on you. You understand what 0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:55.400 I'm saying, Because there's so many different ways to be independent, 0:29:55.520 --> 0:30:00.320 especially nowadays, especially nowadays, being independent the Spotify ship just dreams. 0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.040 I'm gonna be honest, A lot of people don't know, 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:06.080 and jay Z is not paying me, so I'm gonna 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.040 just throw this out there. But that other about all 0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:13.520 roles in there. Um title has one of the illest 0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:17.200 formats ever for artists like Mega. You ever did something 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:20.320 through it out and said, damn, I wish I could 0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:23.200 actually go back in there and we record that title 0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:27.360 with the streams, you can go back in there and 0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:31.000 Kanye is doing it's the most brilliant thing. So I 0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:32.920 sit back and say, if an artist is not going 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:35.120 out there and getting it, he just really don't want 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.880 it sometimes. But so I'm just saying, there's so many 0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:43.920 opportunities but lyricism questions question to uh you Mega you 0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:49.000 listen to all this thing? Can lyricism sism live in 0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:56.200 on a mainstream scale? Yeah it could. Ken Drake Kendrick 0:30:56.960 --> 0:31:00.720 brought that Kendric quarterback J Cole. I. I think Corey 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:04.160 overy time I see Corey, I'll tell him whether every 0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.160 time I see us, be like, Yo, what's the music at? 0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:09.360 Or you know, I always, ever since I've been seeing them, 0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:11.960 always try to push him into courage him because I 0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.360 like the directions going in. But lyricism could always live 0:31:15.400 --> 0:31:19.120 because especially now in these times, because there's so much 0:31:19.760 --> 0:31:23.280 see the then between rapping and and and and hip 0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:28.120 hop also and lyricism is because lyricism you paint pictures. 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.960 There's so much happening in the world right now with 0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.840 us as people because if you got Black lives matter, 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:37.560 you got the politics so much to talk about. That 0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:41.360 is is captivating when you when when people hold onto 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.560 your words. Now now now you invoke an emotions or 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.720 you're having a connection with people, and that's why you 0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.960 know that's important, and that's why when the more the 0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:54.080 more new artists do it, it helps because everybody wants 0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:57.040 to do what those new artists doing. I think I think, um, 0:31:57.600 --> 0:31:59.880 one rapper that's out of the newer generation that that 0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:03.360 I really have learned to appreciate. It's Drake. I'm just 0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:07.520 gonna say, young Thug. Bro. I haven't heard young I 0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:10.400 haven't heard much of young Thug, but I've already I've 0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:13.600 heard these all right, Yeah, yeah, I'm not I'm not judgmental. 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.080 Like the problem with a lot of rappers that have 0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:19.280 been out old school or veterans or legends some of 0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:23.200 them is they're too they're too closed minded that you 0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:25.360 can't just say, well, they don't do like how we 0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:27.560 did it. Of course they don't because that's a different time, 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:30.440 just like we don't travel like George Washington and them 0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:33.800 used to, you know what saying. So it's like if anything, um, 0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:38.160 Like some fans are like, um, they don't want to 0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:40.840 leave the nineties. Like I respect that, but I know 0:32:41.040 --> 0:32:44.200 that when I paid my bills to say no doubt, 0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:47.000 like I love the nineties, Like I understand I understand 0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.800 where they're coming from the nineties, like skill, what's your 0:32:50.840 --> 0:32:53.719 bad badge on it? People put their heart more in it. Now. 0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:56.040 Let me tell you something I was watching sending on 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.440 TV the other day. It was like it was Jamie Fox. 0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:00.600 I think it was like a comedy and the dude 0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:03.800 was rapping joking right like you remember when dude that 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:05.600 couldn't wrap used to wrap and it was funny or 0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:09.560 crackhead wrappers. But now I was like, yo, he could 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:12.440 do that right now on the album. And it's sad 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.720 because it's technology. Like, look, the phones that we have 0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:18.160 now is better than the phones ten years ago. The 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:20.880 TVs we have now is better than the cars we 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:22.920 have now is better, But the rungs we have now 0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:25.960 aren't better than ten years ago. Even R and B 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:29.080 is regressing, Like if you listen to a real RB song, 0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.080 RV songs was the song people made babies or the 0:33:32.160 --> 0:33:34.640 songs that that made women and men fall in love. 0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:38.560 Now you can now, Dad, you heard. You can take 0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:43.680 an R and B song if you want. But but 0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:47.920 every every song don't have to be about straight fucking 0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:53.440 like you trying to the radio, Like, um, Rihanna got 0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:59.400 a song talking about no, not that one, sex with me, 0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:02.160 sex with something. She got a song something about I 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.160 love I love Rihanna. I think she got the best 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.640 album out right now, but I don't want to I 0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:08.239 don't want to hear that song at three o'clock in 0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.200 the afternoon when I got my daughter in the car, 0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.400 It's like, whoa. Because kids are smart, they catch on. 0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:17.120 So I want to hear Rihanna in my space, not 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:19.520 in kids space, you know what I'm saying. So it's 0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:22.759 like certain it's radio's fault because radio needs to have 0:34:24.080 --> 0:34:28.799 guidelines to safeguards to protect kids because kids, kids are 0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:31.759 smart and they and they observe it. So our kids 0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:33.600 don't need to be learning about sex. So all this, 0:34:34.120 --> 0:34:35.759 this is three o'clock in the afternoon. This was on 0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.520 Don't Get It Twisted. I love Rihanna's album is dope, 0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.480 but I don't want my daughter listen to that right now. 0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:43.080 She could listen to it in a few more years. 0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:46.480 I think the hip hops had its best when there's balance, yeah, exactly, 0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.800 because you need both sides, all sides of the spectrum, exactly. 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:53.719 That's when I think it's at its best. With Liver 0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:56.440 System definitely came back, though, It's just that there's a 0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:59.920 lot of other stuff that's competing with it. And who 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:04.480 who do you approve of lyricism? Um? Who do I like? Yeah? Um? 0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:08.400 You know who? I really like right now who I 0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:12.120 think doesn't get enough credit. But he's incredible. Push your 0:35:12.160 --> 0:35:14.920 t Yeah yeah, but he ain't. He ain't like new 0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:18.960 like he Damn it was in the class after us. 0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:21.839 You know what I'm saying, Um, new guys, let me see. Um, 0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:25.440 I got two questions for you, A new guy and 0:35:25.520 --> 0:35:30.799 then somebody that nobody would never think mega would like. Yeah, 0:35:31.000 --> 0:35:36.520 the new guy like the most is Um that's a 0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:39.720 deep question. I don't know. I respect. I respect Kendrick. 0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.400 What Kendrick does a lot like he brought the passion 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:46.759 back into it and the whole TV to the whole movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:52.920 so I respect that. Um. I respect the ASAP movement too, 0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.680 like they they are a bunch of hungry younger artists. 0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:59.719 Um So, I don't know. I guess that. I guess them. 0:35:59.840 --> 0:36:01.440 But there's a lot of artist that she's gonna say, 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:05.520 Joey Badass. I don't know, Joey Badasses. Nice, Joe Badass. 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:07.759 I told him, you remind me of like Black Moon 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.879 when they first come. His show looks like show you think, Yeah, 0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:14.880 you keep watching like black Moon, And there's a lot 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:18.320 of now what's something called baga like that nobody like 0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:20.920 niggas right now. Everybody like get the funk out of 0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:24.120 here stuff. That was like, um, like, I fu with 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.120 Plink Floyd. I ain't scared of it, tell straight up, 0:36:27.640 --> 0:36:30.879 but you gotta say Pink Floyd wrong because I'm drunk. People, 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:35.279 let me get away. I like jazz. I've been listening 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:40.280 to a lot of jazz lately. Um, I like jazz. 0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:45.480 Fox with Guns and Roses. They had a concert recently. Yeah, 0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:48.520 they're back together. I think the Beatles song Imagined It 0:36:48.600 --> 0:36:52.520 is incredible. I love Rey Gay. My favorite Rey Gay 0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:55.680 is like these roots and culture, not forget nineties eight. 0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:02.200 I love that said the Nancy's my favorite female reggae artist. 0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:06.560 I got a new song with says, look that's crazy. 0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:11.600 I got Sissle on my album you Ain't got to sing? 0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:14.879 I got a lot and no reason on the record 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:22.040 with his action. Yeah, definitely, I'm forgetting that. Nobody think 0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:23.600 it would be like yo, what to get the funk 0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:27.239 out of here? Corey, guys don't do that un with that. 0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:33.880 I listened. I listened to a lot of like classic stuff. 0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:38.080 When I say classic, like James Brown listen to Prince 0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:43.320 grew up listening to Michael Prince and Michael Jackson, Nirvana, 0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:47.800 Guns and Roses. Nirvana is one of my favorite bands 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.600 of all time. Like, but I listened. I grew up 0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:53.920 listening to a lot of Prince and Michael my household. 0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:56.680 How about you here, man, let's stirring it on you 0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.480 everything they just said. I actually I liked a lot 0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:01.759 of Rocks. I was back in the days Iron made 0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:03.839 in Mega Death, like I was on some crazy ship. 0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:06.719 But then I transferred into like from that point one. 0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:08.400 Now you can hear. I had a mixtape when I 0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:12.240 was y would have Mega Death, Beastie Boys, l L Iron, 0:38:12.320 --> 0:38:19.800 Hayden and the Beatles, And they just want to ask me. 0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:23.480 You just told us it was Pinky Floyd that was 0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:26.239 That was one, you know, with another one that I 0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:29.719 really really liked it. And this this this is like 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.000 she had a question. I asked that Mega the new 0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:36.400 and then's something it's actually both. Um. I couldn't because 0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:38.920 I'm such a big Wayne fans, just a big Wayane supporter. 0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.640 He's my brother. But I listened to the what was 0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:44.040 it the bar to six the Young Thugs ship, and 0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:46.799 I really enjoyed that. I did. I did. I can't 0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.800 even front on young dog. I can't even front on it. 0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:50.560 That was kind of hard, you know what I'm saying. 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.640 But Wayne is my brother. But they squashed it. They 0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:55.160 do on shows now and everything, so um, but that 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:57.400 was mine, Like um, Like, I want to be the 0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:00.600 guy to embrace the new gender ration, you know what 0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:02.520 I'm saying. I don't want to be the person that 0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:05.239 comes around and be like yo in my days, yo 0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:07.319 yo with my dad. You don't have to abandon your 0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:09.560 old principles. No, I don't want That's what some people do. 0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:12.760 I hate what older dudes try to act young. Okay, 0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:15.319 so like they abandoned their principles because to me, that's 0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:18.080 what old g's are for, to leave the youth, like 0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:20.239 similar to what Fat Joe was doing. Like if I 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.080 think Fat Joe was keeping the hip hop intecrity at 0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:25.840 the same time all the way up? Does cater to 0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:30.000 the new generation the way up, hard nose, all the 0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:35.680 way up, that motherfucker go platinum, man, I got something 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.400 to do with that. Continue I'm sorry, what is that? Like? 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:40.600 Do you understand what I'm saying? Like, but it means 0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.960 it's not a departure, perfect facto. It's not too much 0:39:42.960 --> 0:39:45.200 of a departure from who he is and what he's 0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:48.240 been doing. Right, Like, it's not it's not too crazy, 0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.480 like you can see the progression and what Fat Joe 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:53.719 is doing. He's not regressing and trying to act in 0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:55.680 the club and wild. No, But it caters to the 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.959 young audience. What I'm saying is, you know, old dudes 0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:00.920 would say yo more over up after they see the 0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:03.000 young guns and the and and the chicks on there. 0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:05.360 But that's not the first thing a person in his 0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.719 thirties and his forties is gonna think of. But that's 0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:09.799 a young person thing. But what I'm saying is it's 0:40:09.880 --> 0:40:12.319 kind of balanced because it is cater into the young 0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:19.960 audience without uh this uh you know, disproving hip hop. 0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:22.319 Like I could see Caress One, I could see Cool 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.400 Hirk saying they funking all the way up. You know 0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:26.040 what I'm saying. I can't see them saying that about 0:40:26.040 --> 0:40:28.680 other music that exists, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, 0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:32.040 you think that's you think you think you know what 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:34.120 I mean? For us being from New York, my man 0:40:34.239 --> 0:40:37.440 being from um, you know, Miami, And this is a 0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:39.319 discussion I just wanted to have, like a straight up 0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:41.719 hip hop discussion, Like you know what I'm saying, and 0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:44.640 I want to get back into you guys, but like, 0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.719 what do you think the forefathers think of this generation? Now? 0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:53.680 You think they disapprove or or doesn't matter. I think 0:40:53.680 --> 0:40:56.000 that's a conversation that you should have. I think I 0:40:56.040 --> 0:40:57.520 think you should have some of them on your show. 0:40:57.760 --> 0:41:01.560 Yeah we need you, but how do how do you 0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:05.279 feel because of Mega you're a legend? Right? I hate 0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.480 to be called a legend, to be honest. Why Because 0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:11.080 when I see when I think of people who a legends, 0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:12.960 I don't think that I match up out of haven't 0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:15.319 done what they've done? Like if every being Rock came 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:18.080 of legends, then how am I legend or off? Like 0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.799 like certain people icons, I consider myself a vet. Maybe 0:41:21.840 --> 0:41:24.279 in a few years, if I keep putting out, then 0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:28.080 I considered I'll be comfortable with legend. But if if everyb's, 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:31.680 if every being Rock came as legends and public enemies legends, 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:34.840 Like how the funking my legend? I haven't done with 0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:38.640 Dave done. They've transcended the whole genre. I'm just trying 0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:41.080 to do. I'm just trying to make them proud. Um 0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:44.080 I gotta agree with you and disagree with you because 0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:49.680 you know why us, as quote unquote legends, we like Yo, 0:41:49.800 --> 0:41:52.719 b I just seen you pack a house in the 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:56.200 middle of mid midtown Miami. Mother fuker's don't come over here. 0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:01.040 They get killed, they get robbed out here. You probably 0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:03.239 don't know. You know, I'm sure you know. But what 0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:06.480 I'm saying is I just see people come. I watched man. 0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:08.279 Only time I left, I had to piss. I'm sorry. 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:10.160 I never leave a person show, but I had to people. 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:12.040 I gotta people right now, but I'm holding it. But 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:14.719 I was out there, and I don't only watch you 0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.239 because you're a nigga from my hood, and I'd be 0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:20.040 so proud to see another nigga from my hood maintaining 0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:24.120 and surviving and doing it. But I had one point moved. 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.399 I was looking directly at you, and at one point 0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.480 moved because I don't wanted to see the crowd. And 0:42:28.520 --> 0:42:33.280 these motherfucker's knew every fucking word. They knew every word. 0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:35.239 And you know what it is. You ain't had a 0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:37.040 record on the radio in the past. I don't know 0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:39.680 how many years. Me neither, So you know what I'm saying. 0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:42.880 And when you could do that, that is the definition 0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:51.880 of legendary. My brother and artist subjective. So if a 0:42:52.000 --> 0:42:55.920 fancy thinks you're a legend, you're definitely a legendary. I 0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:59.239 know what he means. But see, legendary status doesn't mean 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:01.640 comparing yourself up to another legend, because in that case, 0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:04.200 I would I could never be careless one carress One 0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:05.680 is and I'm from Queens and I told him that 0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:08.800 I could never match up the carvress One. But I 0:43:08.920 --> 0:43:13.279 know kids who look at me like harrest one. I 0:43:13.400 --> 0:43:17.439 know kids who look at me like anas.

But I believe 0:45:52.840 --> 0:45:56.359 Hot Days started releasing like some of your music. Yeah, 0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:59.959 uh before I went to If I didn't go to jail, 0:46:00.239 --> 0:46:02.839 I would have an album out like around that time. 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.000 I was.

So I went to jail. So if you 0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:24.080 listen to um every rapper from Queens Rite that was 0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:25.759 coming out, they was.

So it's like 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:32.719 and I was humble about that. LP know if I 0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:35.000 was like wow, but I was proud of everybody at 0:46:35.040 --> 0:46:37.600 the same time. Then marm d blew up. It's like wow. 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:39.920 So that's what made me like But when I came before, 0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:41.799 I came home and I had the buzz from from 0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:45.400 my old music floating around like sex, drugs, bitches and 0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.560 money and all that other stuff, and then um other 0:46:47.640 --> 0:46:51.000 songs I had was circulating and then with the shoutouts, 0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:54.839 that just took it to another level. So then when 0:46:54.880 --> 0:46:57.640 I came home and then I started jumping on I 0:46:57.680 --> 0:46:59.480 saw the jumping on a lot of mixtapes that like, 0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:02.360 remember Puffy used to do mixtape bad with mixtapes. So 0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.080 I was on the one which stretched on Strong that 0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:07.480 was a big deal, hit me too, come on, And 0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:09.440 I was getting Who's doing all the promo because I 0:47:09.600 --> 0:47:11.359 was I'm a mixtape DJ from so I was getting 0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:13.120 all the dats they were sending me, all the leaks 0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:16.320 on that who was doing that that was probably violated. 0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:18.040 That's what I was gon violated because I didn't know 0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:20.960 about That's proud of that. So I had the crazy 0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:24.680 buzz and I had like no, no, no, you're being humble. Listen. 0:47:25.840 --> 0:47:28.120 You had the illest buzz and the whole and like 0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:31.240 you know, I I compare it to like shines Buzz. 0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:34.000 Like Shines Buzz was like that, but a lot of 0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:36.640 people don't know that. That was like it was like 0:47:36.719 --> 0:47:39.360 the first like bidding wall I ever heard of in 0:47:39.440 --> 0:47:42.040 the industry, like most like you know, I mean me 0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:45.040 be personally like I'm looking like, damn, this nicker, this 0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:49.120 nick came home. He came home. And let's say I 0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:51.160 heard it over you a million dollars didn't even hear 0:47:51.160 --> 0:47:53.719 a record yet? Is that true? No? They never no 0:47:53.800 --> 0:47:56.200 million your deal without hearing a record. Keep it with 0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.480 a lot of people from your man's off me day 0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:02.120 a penalty, let's make some noise with it. Was that 0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:06.239 they were supposed to use. He was he was They 0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:13.640 didn't have enough for me. I was packing, yeah, but 0:48:13.719 --> 0:48:15.520 I was stupid because at the end of the day, 0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:18.760 and and I hope there's young artists listening. It's always 0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:22.080 it's not about the most money that they're gonna give you, 0:48:22.320 --> 0:48:24.400 it's about the most effort that they're gonna give you. 0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:26.040 So the labels gonna give you a whole bunch of 0:48:26.080 --> 0:48:31.279 money but not put effort into you. That's a bad investment. Yeah, 0:48:31.480 --> 0:48:33.600 But if this is a label that's gonna make your priority, 0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:37.600 you know what I'm saying, then that's gonna significantly boost 0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:41.520 your career. Now, with me, there's a lot of when 0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:44.440 keeping it real goes wrong situations, you know what I'm 0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:46.920 saying with my career. Because Puff wanted to sign me, 0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:50.239 but somebody that me and you both know, said, now, 0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:53.160 I don't do that because it might affect the firm. 0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:56.480 So I didn't do that, so I kept it real. 0:48:57.040 --> 0:48:59.640 Then there was another situation when lad wanted to sign me. 0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:02.680 They was like, Yo, we want to message I would 0:49:02.719 --> 0:49:09.839 have been perfect. That was like Loud wanted to sign me. Um, 0:49:10.080 --> 0:49:12.759 Steve Friskin's brother. I was talking to him at how 0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:16.160 can I be down? Um? They said, we want to 0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:20.080 sign Mega, but we don't like his men. Um. That 0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:22.160 was the guy that was managing me, because they said, 0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:24.000 because he screwed us on the no ideal, you know 0:49:24.040 --> 0:49:28.200 what I'm saying, So you know it's you know, loyalty 0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:30.320 will backfire on you if you do it to the 0:49:30.360 --> 0:49:32.400 wrong if you give it to the wrong people. So 0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:34.239 it's like, you know what I'm saying, and it's not 0:49:34.440 --> 0:49:36.960 you know that I could have had a few situations, 0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:39.320 but I didn't do it on the strength of other people. 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:44.400 So deaf Jams violator. The reason I sounded violator because 0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:48.000 they offered me not just not only the most money, 0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:51.520 but all of my publishing. You know what I'm saying, 0:49:51.560 --> 0:49:53.680 Like Chris, like that was a violate yo. I asked 0:49:53.680 --> 0:49:55.200 some may people want to sign me. I had different 0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:57.080 parts of death Jam want to sign me because it 0:49:57.200 --> 0:50:00.160 was like there was like no doubt death James violated Death. 0:50:00.520 --> 0:50:03.120 It was different. So I had different lab like managup 0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:04.960 for labors. I ended up with doing the thing with 0:50:05.040 --> 0:50:07.360 CRIZ because for one, I respect how how he moved. 0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:09.920 For two, he gave me all of my publishing, which 0:50:10.000 --> 0:50:12.239 is unheard of in those times. So so people can 0:50:12.960 --> 0:50:14.680 hold because a lot of people thought you was on 0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:22.800 violator management record exactly exactly, and that's why and that's 0:50:22.840 --> 0:50:27.759 why you know, I think violator management was better than 0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:31.680 violate the records, violate the records? Was dope when they 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:35.080 when they let Dave first Artists. Now I wasn't warring 0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:39.640 was you know when Fox he might have been violated 0:50:39.680 --> 0:50:41.360 for a little while too. But then death Jams just 0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:43.960 took just too go because she was a superstar. But 0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:46.920 when Dave Blodi was running violator, they should have just 0:50:47.040 --> 0:50:49.279 let Dave Blody keep running it because Dave, you know, 0:50:49.480 --> 0:50:52.480 Dave was. Dave texted me the other day, Dave put 0:50:52.480 --> 0:50:55.000 a lot of effortence into Wow. Dave Dy would love 0:50:55.040 --> 0:50:57.239 to hear that. So yeah, yeah, I keep it real man, 0:50:57.719 --> 0:51:00.120 you know what I'm saying. Just like even people, I'm 0:51:00.160 --> 0:51:01.600 the type of dude, even if I had a different 0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:06.279 with people, I give credit, words due and um. There's 0:51:06.280 --> 0:51:07.680 a lot of people in the industry that I've done. 0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:09.920 I always tell having that I'm grateful for what he 0:51:09.960 --> 0:51:12.480 has done in my career. And even with you, I'll 0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:15.239 be like yo, I said, Nori, like you might not 0:51:15.480 --> 0:51:17.839 remember this, I'll tell you to things that you did. 0:51:17.920 --> 0:51:21.000 I was crazy real one All Star Weekend one year 0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:23.920 you was doing the show. I was just chilling. You 0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:26.440 pulled me on the stage and let me perform right. 0:51:26.520 --> 0:51:27.800 That was one thing that's real because you know a 0:51:27.880 --> 0:51:30.200 lot of artists don't do that. And another thing you 0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:34.239 did one time we was chilling and the first time, 0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:36.120 the first and only time I ever been on DJ 0:51:36.280 --> 0:51:38.400 Clues radio show was with me and you took me 0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:40.319 up there. Let's plake some noise to me, keeping it real. 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:46.359 Now I can vouch for mega man. I never had 0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:48.960 like a phony moment around you at all. Like there's 0:51:48.960 --> 0:51:51.200 so many people that I could if I would have 0:51:51.280 --> 0:51:53.880 to count on my toes and fingernails. I've never had 0:51:53.880 --> 0:51:56.319 a phone phony moment with you. Like We've always been 0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:59.520 stand up dude. You always had the ellest reputation in 0:51:59.600 --> 0:52:01.680 the hood. You know, Queen's Bridge is like my second home. 0:52:02.080 --> 0:52:04.840 You know what I'm saying. And um so I just 0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:08.080 I know this is this is past, but um like, 0:52:08.200 --> 0:52:11.600 how did how did we spoke about the nature incident? 0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:15.000 But what was the like the first time you spoke 0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:17.960 to nas and you felt like the energy isn't right, 0:52:18.200 --> 0:52:22.920 so you wanted to do your own thing. Um the 0:52:23.200 --> 0:52:29.120 term you might remember this, there was a magazine called 0:52:29.160 --> 0:52:32.239 Wires b y s b okay. So there was a 0:52:32.280 --> 0:52:35.439 photo shoot one day and Steve Stout called my man Biz. 0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:37.960 He's like, yeo, we're having a firm photo shoot. Tell 0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:40.920 Omega to come through. I went all the way uptown, 0:52:41.000 --> 0:52:44.560 got a haircut, and then after that I went to 0:52:44.840 --> 0:52:48.560 um Uptown Records. I went to Uptown Records because I 0:52:48.600 --> 0:52:51.000 had to pick up a check from doing a song 0:52:51.080 --> 0:52:53.719 with it with the R and B group. Right while 0:52:53.760 --> 0:52:56.440 I'm at Uptown, I see Deal who happens to be 0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:59.719 A Z's manager. Okay, okay. So the reason I went 0:52:59.800 --> 0:53:02.200 up to Uptown Records instead of going to the firm 0:53:02.239 --> 0:53:04.840 photo shoot because Steve stal Court and said, oh the 0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:08.640 photo shooters canceled, don't come right. So I was like cool, 0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:11.040 So I went uptown up staying Rex to get the chat. 0:53:11.560 --> 0:53:15.520 So when I see Dio, he's like he's a he's manager. 0:53:16.239 --> 0:53:19.040 He's like, why aren't you at the photo shoot. You're 0:53:19.080 --> 0:53:21.480 doing the photo shoot right now? And I was like, 0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:24.239 you show it was like photo shoot now. He wasn't 0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:28.200 at that. He was like, he's like, I'm positive, so 0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:31.840 right in and there. My pride wouldn't let me go. 0:53:32.360 --> 0:53:35.280 I could have went without it. Feel like the elephant 0:53:35.320 --> 0:53:37.520 in the room, like if I was wanted to be here, 0:53:37.719 --> 0:53:40.080 I would have been there, so I didn't go. And 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:43.520 then when I've seen something, I said, listen, if we're 0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:48.640 gonna let music come between us, then that's like savage. 0:53:49.160 --> 0:53:50.880 I was like, yo, I said, for I said, you 0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:53.360 might as well just what y'all, I see what's happening. 0:53:53.400 --> 0:53:55.520 I said, why don't you just let nature take my place? 0:53:56.080 --> 0:53:58.319 Because that's what you know what I'm saying, because that's 0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:02.640 obviously what happened. Because I underestimated the power of Steve 0:54:02.760 --> 0:54:05.160 back then, because I'm thinking, this is my man. So 0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:07.319 just what Steve saying is that you're saying my man 0:54:07.600 --> 0:54:11.640 about Steve n So yeah, so I'm like Steve, the 0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:14.640 stuff Steve saying it ain't gonna and is irrelevant because 0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:16.640 now exactly it's not gonna Happenuse not my man, not 0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:18.879 gonna let that happen. But I underestimated him. I was wrong. 0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:20.799 So I basically told him, like, yo, man, you might 0:54:20.800 --> 0:54:23.160 as well letting nature replace me because that's what's gonna happen. 0:54:23.400 --> 0:54:25.960 He's like, Nah, that had never happened that that, but 0:54:26.080 --> 0:54:27.799 it did happen, so right then, and I was like, Yo, 0:54:27.840 --> 0:54:30.080 if we're gonna let money come between us. Then we 0:54:30.440 --> 0:54:32.400 it's like savages, you know what I'm saying. So that's 0:54:32.440 --> 0:54:35.520 when I knew ship was was was wet, you know 0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:40.120 what I'm saying. And um, it's just changed after that, 0:54:40.160 --> 0:54:43.800 you know what I'm saying. So um, And now like 0:54:45.239 --> 0:54:47.840 because he shot at you out on one love correct 0:54:47.840 --> 0:54:49.960 and it was like the biggest record of the year 0:54:50.640 --> 0:54:52.520 and I wasn't home, so I wouldn't know, but I 0:54:52.600 --> 0:54:56.759 know I was proud. Yeah, So, um, what was your 0:54:56.800 --> 0:54:59.400 relationship like before? He was mad? Cool? I got mad 0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:02.719 letters from he? Right, I got one love letters at 0:55:02.760 --> 0:55:04.200 my house now that it broke me when I was 0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:08.239 in jail, like yo one time, because the rumor was, 0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:09.680 and I don't want to cut you up. You gotta 0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:11.680 finish the stories. These people gonna kill me. But the 0:55:11.800 --> 0:55:16.239 rumor was that's who in the beginning, that's who. Now 0:55:16.320 --> 0:55:18.960 he's got the style from core Maga. You have to 0:55:19.000 --> 0:55:20.680 talk to him about that. No, I'm just saying the 0:55:20.800 --> 0:55:22.719 rum one. I'm not talking about him. I'm saying that 0:55:22.840 --> 0:55:24.440 was the rumor. It was like he said that. It 0:55:24.560 --> 0:55:27.239 was like the rumor was, I mean, that's that that 0:55:27.440 --> 0:55:29.520 that was what it was like. You know, queens is 0:55:29.719 --> 0:55:33.759 it's a whole section. I'll say this, I can't take 0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:36.920 any credit for that man's success. Like at the end 0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:44.440 of the day, that man has become one of the 0:55:44.480 --> 0:55:47.799 greatest lyricists ever of all time, you know what I'm saying. 0:55:48.520 --> 0:55:50.920 So it's like I can't take credit for that. Like 0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:53.319 you know what I'm saying, I can't take any credit 0:55:53.360 --> 0:55:55.120 for that that he did it. He did, He did 0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:56.919 him and he's where he's at, you know what I'm saying. 0:55:57.760 --> 0:56:02.080 But before all that, I did stuff for him back 0:56:02.080 --> 0:56:03.640 in the day that he did stuff for me, Like 0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:06.000 the first time he ever performed at Brooklyn Queen's Day, 0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:08.239 you know, Broken Queen Day was a big difference. I 0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:10.680 remember Brooken Queen's Day a cannelly um as the first 0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:13.080 time I've seen um live at the barbecue. But when 0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:14.879 you asked now the first time he performed a Broken 0:56:14.960 --> 0:56:17.120 Queen's Day, he will tell you it was me. We 0:56:17.200 --> 0:56:20.160 went to We went there Mad Deep and Trash was 0:56:20.239 --> 0:56:25.520 performing and then that's when my man Yami God Bless 0:56:25.600 --> 0:56:28.360 there was like, yo, let Mega perform. You know what 0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:32.080 I'm saying. He was like, let Mega bron So Yeahmi 0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:35.640 jumped on the stage like they basically made him make 0:56:35.719 --> 0:56:37.759 me rhyme, like you know what I'm saying, because I 0:56:37.840 --> 0:56:41.320 was the boys in the street. So I got on 0:56:41.400 --> 0:56:43.080 the stage and I run. When I got on stage, 0:56:43.080 --> 0:56:45.600 I was like, Nas, come on, I brought Nays up, 0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:47.239 like he'll tell you that. So it's like, no, not 0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:50.239 that was in Queens You were supposed to be the 0:56:50.400 --> 0:56:53.160 next guy and then you got locked up. And then 0:56:53.800 --> 0:56:55.799 that's a fact, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's 0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:58.080 that's at the end of the day. I always say 0:56:58.160 --> 0:57:01.440 this about Nas and Martep when people try to not 0:57:01.600 --> 0:57:04.879 giving their credit. I'll say this, Nas and Mark Deep 0:57:04.920 --> 0:57:08.880 deserve their success because I'll tell you this, when I 0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:12.360 was on the block hustling and getting into trouble and 0:57:12.440 --> 0:57:15.440 doing all that they was in the studio, they worked 0:57:15.480 --> 0:57:17.520 harder for it. They earned it, you know what I'm saying. 0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:20.680 So that's their success wasn't given to them. And there's 0:57:20.680 --> 0:57:23.520 a lot of artists. Queen Bridge has a story of history, 0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:25.520 but there came a point where some people just use 0:57:25.640 --> 0:57:28.000 queen Bridge as like a credit card. Like think they 0:57:28.040 --> 0:57:29.720 could just say queen Bridge and get it deal, or 0:57:29.760 --> 0:57:31.720 just say Queens Bridge and you're supposed to get respect, 0:57:31.920 --> 0:57:34.479 you have to work for that, you know what I'm saying. 0:57:34.520 --> 0:57:37.680 So so like y'all at one point, it is what 0:57:37.800 --> 0:57:41.760 it is with that so Mega, there's been a rumor 0:57:41.800 --> 0:57:51.400 floating around dad uh CNN mob deep Nas supposed to 0:57:51.400 --> 0:57:55.680 be a queen's tall called Mega. I didn't hear my name. 0:57:56.960 --> 0:57:59.440 That's why you hear, baby, this is what we do. 0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:01.800 You trying to say me to check up to the table. Yeah, 0:58:01.800 --> 0:58:04.000 I mean, y'o listen, man, is this something that you 0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:06.320 think it happened? Because listen, you know what you know 0:58:06.360 --> 0:58:09.600 what people um me and some some dudes talking, and 0:58:09.680 --> 0:58:11.400 he was like, you know, queens is like comthing, y'a'll 0:58:11.400 --> 0:58:13.960 get along with nobody. I always told people that I'd 0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:16.600 be like Queen's is the most I'd be like, queens 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:20.320 just don't get along even like you know, back in 0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:22.800 the day people us to trying to tease queens queens. 0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:27.240 But yeah, quiet queens queens is wow as fu. And 0:58:27.320 --> 0:58:29.040 when you think about the most rappers that got killed, 0:58:29.080 --> 0:58:32.200 the most rappers got killed in queens and the most 0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:35.800 rapp differences from queens. So it was like, you think 0:58:35.840 --> 0:58:37.800 it's because barrel big or just because we found me. 0:58:37.880 --> 0:58:39.480 I think he's I don't know. I think it's I 0:58:39.560 --> 0:58:41.320 think it's egos. Sometimes I don't know what it is. 0:58:41.400 --> 0:58:44.400 But with Queen's Bridge, with our small circle, you know 0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:46.880 what it is to Queen been just so fucking big. 0:58:47.480 --> 0:58:50.560 It's like six blocks. Break it down for people. There's 0:58:50.680 --> 0:58:54.439 fortieship side of Tall Street, then it's forty first side 0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:56.960 of Trust Street. Then it's forty side of Time Street, 0:58:57.040 --> 0:59:00.760 and forty first side. There's no stocking south side, so 0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:03.439 it's six blocks. You come down and each thing, which 0:59:03.840 --> 0:59:05.919 block is big enough to be his own project, Each 0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:08.680 block is big enough to be left frack. That's a fact. 0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:11.280 One blocks there's a lot of frackers. Only one block 0:59:11.320 --> 0:59:14.960 there's a lot of rappers. That differences ain't even really 0:59:15.000 --> 0:59:17.200 from the rapper. It be from the people that hang 0:59:17.320 --> 0:59:22.120 with the rapper. Like nature and me Ben would have 0:59:22.200 --> 0:59:24.200 been working. But if people in the circle that was like, no, 0:59:24.280 --> 0:59:25.600 I don't do it because it's gonna look like you're 0:59:25.640 --> 0:59:28.520 kissing his ass when that's stupid because the quicker that 0:59:28.640 --> 0:59:31.200 you numbify it, the quicker the beef is gone. So 0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:33.240 it's like some people don't think strategic. I liked it 0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:38.200 that word you use, Nigga said Mellified. Another five, Mellified, 0:59:38.360 --> 0:59:49.000 no text, we are now another five. We don't baseball funnels. Look, 0:59:49.640 --> 0:59:55.360 we don't know what that ship. Oh wait, I'm not No, 0:59:55.400 --> 0:59:57.880 I'm not pleasing brother. This is your format, brother, do 0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:01.520 you know what I'm saying? So man, yea, so good yo. 1:00:01.640 --> 1:00:04.040 But I'm proud of you for him. I'm about to 1:00:04.120 --> 1:00:13.280 hit um um when seen year next year. I heard 1:00:13.320 --> 1:00:15.920 about the tour, but I didn't hear nothing about core Mega. No, 1:00:16.000 --> 1:00:18.320 that's what we're doing that. We didn't ask for decent names. 1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:27.760 We came here. That's you're basically me and you really 1:00:27.840 --> 1:00:32.360 know can is it? Is it even possible? Or at 1:00:32.400 --> 1:00:34.920 my you know, queen a queen because it was a 1:00:35.000 --> 1:00:36.480 room when I just spread in the room, I'm helping 1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:39.280 spread the ROOMA do you think it's even possible? I 1:00:39.440 --> 1:00:42.640 think anything is possible if people want it to happen. 1:00:43.560 --> 1:00:45.760 You know what I'm saying. So my thing is this. 1:00:49.600 --> 1:00:52.040 On one of my albums, I said, I'm no longer 1:00:52.120 --> 1:00:56.640 seeking acceptance of people who ain't feeling me, or squeezing 1:00:56.680 --> 1:01:00.640 my weapon for people who ain't realism me. So forget 1:01:00.720 --> 1:01:03.680 the weapon part. I'm trying to trying to make peace 1:01:03.760 --> 1:01:07.080 with people. I'm not extending my hand to a clinched fist. 1:01:08.760 --> 1:01:15.280 So I squashed all my differences with every rapper. I 1:01:15.320 --> 1:01:17.440 don't got people, no rapper right now, you know what 1:01:17.480 --> 1:01:21.120 I'm saying. The only the difference that that I had 1:01:21.240 --> 1:01:23.440 in recent years. It was a small thing that hurt 1:01:23.520 --> 1:01:25.960 me because I got I got history with Freddie Fox 1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.320 because that's my big bro. Wait what happened? And I 1:01:28.440 --> 1:01:30.680 wasn't nothing I said. It was a little misunderstanding pretty 1:01:30.760 --> 1:01:33.040 much like that. But we fixed that and I love him. 1:01:33.080 --> 1:01:36.960 That's my biggest so and I'm about to do with 1:01:37.080 --> 1:01:40.880 him too, and y'all, y'all, y'all known. So me and 1:01:41.000 --> 1:01:45.600 him about to do some solid fun. Man, I'm about 1:01:46.640 --> 1:01:48.600 me and him about to do some music too. But 1:01:48.720 --> 1:01:54.360 Freddy Fox, yeah so UMU. As far as as far 1:01:54.440 --> 1:01:56.720 as a queen's tour, I think that would be great, 1:01:57.440 --> 1:02:02.480 and I think it is possible. But some people rather 1:02:02.600 --> 1:02:06.720 hold grudges than summit. So so because I think I'm hearing, 1:02:08.160 --> 1:02:11.760 but I'm not. But you and nos are on great terms, right, 1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:14.600 I don't know what I don't know. I don't know 1:02:15.160 --> 1:02:17.280 what's going on? And I try and I don't care 1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:20.840 like I did my part, Like there was a you 1:02:21.240 --> 1:02:24.320 might when you're talking about the squashing on beef on stage, 1:02:24.320 --> 1:02:25.640 you might have been talking about when me and Nas 1:02:25.680 --> 1:02:29.600 came out together. No, no, no, this is definitely was 1:02:30.200 --> 1:02:32.280 squash might be for him in two thousand and six. 1:02:32.800 --> 1:02:34.320 So if he has a problem, I don't know. I 1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:36.240 don't got no be for him. There hasn't been no 1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:40.480 mega disc records, no Mega side talk, no nothing. So 1:02:40.760 --> 1:02:42.400 if he still got an issue with me, that's something 1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:44.720 he got to take up with himself, because I don't 1:02:44.760 --> 1:02:46.440 got no way for him. I don't got no be 1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:49.160 for no rapper from Queensbridge. You know what I'm saying 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:54.080 on UM none the only rapper that that that um 1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:59.480 that I'm wondering if I should even I gotta have 1:02:59.640 --> 1:03:03.280 question walks about going from a From an integrity standpoint, 1:03:04.240 --> 1:03:10.320 it is p because for one, I didn't read his book. 1:03:10.360 --> 1:03:12.640 I don't care about the book, but the way that 1:03:12.720 --> 1:03:17.120 he disrespected Lake and sharm Like, even though I haven't 1:03:17.120 --> 1:03:19.920 spoken to the Lake and Sherman in a minute, they 1:03:20.000 --> 1:03:23.040 have been so loyal to me in life and they 1:03:23.080 --> 1:03:25.960 have did so much for me in life that I 1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:30.800 just feel uncomfortable rocking with him at this you know 1:03:30.840 --> 1:03:33.680 what I'm saying, because it's not beneficial to me. You 1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:35.640 know what I'm saying That it's not like it's not 1:03:35.800 --> 1:03:39.400 like he extends itself, So it's like I feel it's 1:03:39.400 --> 1:03:42.040 not worth it, Like if he still has differences with them, 1:03:42.600 --> 1:03:44.760 I'd rather play the back and not. I don't got 1:03:44.840 --> 1:03:47.320 no beef with him, but I feel uncomfortable dealing with 1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:53.160 you if if you add with them, because sharm like 1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:55.920 these dudes, I haven't spoken to him in a long time, 1:03:55.920 --> 1:04:00.640 but they are mad loyal dudes, so pick up sheron them, 1:04:01.000 --> 1:04:02.760 you know what I'm saying. And Late, I haven't spoken. 1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:05.640 Late did the album, but I want you to finish. 1:04:06.080 --> 1:04:08.760 So it's like, if he still got differences with them, 1:04:10.400 --> 1:04:13.000 I don't think it's worth I'd rather just kick back 1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:14.840 because it's not like me and him speak all the time, 1:04:15.800 --> 1:04:17.920 or you know what I'm saying. So it's like I 1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:20.760 don't have to be for him, but that needs to 1:04:20.840 --> 1:04:22.640 be fixed, you know what saying. Because at the end 1:04:22.640 --> 1:04:25.080 of the day, Sharon put in work for me and 1:04:25.240 --> 1:04:27.520 Lake was like me, and Lake was like in separable, 1:04:28.200 --> 1:04:30.120 Like you know what I'm saying, you could, like late 1:04:30.240 --> 1:04:32.040 is the type of dude if you said something bad 1:04:32.080 --> 1:04:35.240 about me, he would have did something to you. So 1:04:35.360 --> 1:04:37.320 it's like, you know, saying, I can't front on that. 1:04:37.520 --> 1:04:38.880 You know what I'm saying, I can't front on that. 1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:41.680 Like so even though I haven't spoken them a minute, 1:04:41.720 --> 1:04:44.640 we won't. Everybody's doing their own thing, but I can't 1:04:44.760 --> 1:04:48.320 front on them, Sharon. Sharon told me, Sherman is the 1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:53.320 reason why I chilled out, Like Shermon's like, yo, Mega, 1:04:54.160 --> 1:04:56.440 chill you don't have to do nothing like I'm here, 1:04:56.600 --> 1:04:58.919 like like they had me. You know what I'm saying, 1:04:59.120 --> 1:05:02.280 So how can I How can I not? Let's aspect that. 1:05:03.160 --> 1:05:06.960 So it's like I try to be sometimes new truth 1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:08.960 doesn't work. I try to be neutral with certain things, 1:05:09.000 --> 1:05:10.520 you know what, saying even with other people that me 1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:12.720 and you is cool with that, you know, I try 1:05:12.760 --> 1:05:14.600 to be neutral, but sometimes it didn't work. So as 1:05:14.600 --> 1:05:19.560 far as the Queen's Bridge toy or Queen's tour, that 1:05:19.640 --> 1:05:24.640 would be dope. But people have to figure out what 1:05:24.840 --> 1:05:27.400 the issue is, you know what I'm saying, Like your 1:05:27.440 --> 1:05:29.160 man have to figure out what his issue is with 1:05:29.320 --> 1:05:31.240 me because I don't got an issue with him, right, 1:05:31.400 --> 1:05:34.800 But what if it is just simply like you know 1:05:35.040 --> 1:05:37.320 sometimes like for me for instance, I can't speak for 1:05:37.360 --> 1:05:41.200 anybody else not um. But I'm the type of dude 1:05:41.480 --> 1:05:44.160 that if I don't stay in contact with anybody, it's 1:05:44.160 --> 1:05:46.360 not on purpose. It's not on purpose. It's just I'm 1:05:46.400 --> 1:05:50.760 doing me mean, But my love doesn't change no matter 1:05:50.880 --> 1:05:52.560 where I see you, like you don't gonna tell me 1:05:52.600 --> 1:05:54.360 you in Miami, you look in the crowd. I think 1:05:54.400 --> 1:05:55.720 this thing is really in the crowd. To keep it 1:05:55.840 --> 1:05:58.520 real last time you performed out here, because you know, 1:05:58.640 --> 1:06:00.040 it's just who I am. Let me tell you, and 1:06:00.280 --> 1:06:02.600 I always respect. Let me tell you something, not say this. 1:06:02.800 --> 1:06:06.160 Nobody ever even knows this. The only reason that me 1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:08.640 and you wasn't even even more cooler than we was 1:06:09.160 --> 1:06:12.800 was because certain people would have been mad. Let's keep 1:06:12.800 --> 1:06:16.080 it right, So so you know what I'm saying. It's 1:06:16.280 --> 1:06:18.920 it's like that in the game is funny. I remember 1:06:19.360 --> 1:06:21.200 being in your yo. Let me tell you how much 1:06:21.240 --> 1:06:24.240 love you showed me. You had that song What What What? 1:06:24.400 --> 1:06:26.919 That's one of the biggest songs out and you gave 1:06:27.000 --> 1:06:32.400 me a big part in the video you said you 1:06:32.440 --> 1:06:39.160 said about Nary Stands. Yeah, I forgot you know, smoke weed. 1:06:39.240 --> 1:06:47.400 Just think Rememory. Check this out. Oh he's here, DC. 1:06:47.640 --> 1:06:50.280 Check this out. Do you remember this? This is the 1:06:50.440 --> 1:06:53.840 craziest thing. Damn. I was in that video and this 1:06:53.920 --> 1:06:55.280 is why I stopped. This is why I fell back 1:06:55.320 --> 1:06:58.080 from you. It wasn't beef, but I was like, wow, 1:06:58.200 --> 1:07:00.000 niggers just don't want me to have anything. I can't 1:07:00.080 --> 1:07:02.640 have friends, no nothing I thought was in your video. 1:07:03.120 --> 1:07:08.840 Somebody called you. Why I was megan your video? Deep? Right, 1:07:10.640 --> 1:07:14.280 we can't good? Who's something to be? Said that? It 1:07:14.400 --> 1:07:20.160 was something? So who's still listen? You got something I've 1:07:20.240 --> 1:07:22.920 never been. I don't even know what word. This is 1:07:23.080 --> 1:07:28.760 what he got me there? Deep? That was that's from me? 1:07:28.800 --> 1:07:31.000 And you stopped. We want to have no beef nothing. 1:07:31.080 --> 1:07:32.760 I was like, you know what, I don't want to 1:07:32.920 --> 1:07:34.600 have to say. I don't want to mess up no reason. 1:07:35.200 --> 1:07:37.760 I don't want to get people getting mad. It's like 1:07:37.920 --> 1:07:40.439 it's like little kids. Oh, if you play with Billy, 1:07:40.600 --> 1:07:42.960 you can't be my friend no more. And so it 1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:46.440 was like about the Cooper, no, nor show me and 1:07:46.520 --> 1:07:49.160 nor with your and Norry was always cool. Then we 1:07:49.240 --> 1:07:52.680 start again cooler, and then somebody said, yo, why I 1:07:52.800 --> 1:07:55.840 was Megan your video? And then I was like wow, 1:07:56.120 --> 1:07:58.120 so I stopped. I just that's for me, and he's 1:07:58.520 --> 1:08:00.920 he's absolutely right. You're not gonna tell us what somebody no. 1:08:01.040 --> 1:08:09.960 I mean, it's it's it's you know, it's a long 1:08:10.040 --> 1:08:12.560 story here, it's a little it's complicated, but it's not 1:08:12.680 --> 1:08:15.960 that serious. But next the end of the day, at 1:08:16.000 --> 1:08:17.760 the end of the day, let me tell you this. 1:08:19.160 --> 1:08:23.720 I'm I don't hold grudges. And if you look at 1:08:23.800 --> 1:08:26.400 Queen's Bridge, I'm not even the biggest artist, but I 1:08:26.520 --> 1:08:28.920 probably work with more artists fro Queen with than any artist. 1:08:29.439 --> 1:08:31.479 Now you want me break it down to you, look 1:08:31.520 --> 1:08:34.559 at this. You got pH D. I was on that album. 1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:37.080 I was on Screwball album. I was on Poets album. 1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:38.760 I was on a Craigy album.

So you 1:08:46.520 --> 1:08:49.840 can't say I don't get along with people. Run off 1:08:49.880 --> 1:08:52.240 texts on DVD said Megan's the heart of the Bridge. 1:08:52.280 --> 1:08:53.880 I didn't pay him to say that. I didn't even 1:08:53.920 --> 1:08:56.680 know he's gonna say that. Like, I get along with everybody, 1:08:57.160 --> 1:09:01.160 so I don't hold grudgets. If we squashed something, once 1:09:01.240 --> 1:09:04.000 we have peace, we have peace, and I'm thinking this peace. 1:09:04.600 --> 1:09:07.320 So as far as the Queen's tour, I don't you know, 1:09:07.400 --> 1:09:09.680 I don't mind touring.

I didn't. 1:09:19.240 --> 1:09:21.280 I don't got time to be thinking about what did 1:09:21.360 --> 1:09:22.920 I do this time? You know what I'm saying. I 1:09:22.960 --> 1:09:26.640 don't got time for that. And in meantime, I'm independent 1:09:26.840 --> 1:09:29.880 and I'm kind of sort of somebody in that in 1:09:30.040 --> 1:09:32.280 the world. So I'm good. You know what I'm saying. 1:09:32.280 --> 1:09:34.920 I don't like and I forget your dude did a 1:09:35.000 --> 1:09:37.800 lot yo the industry trying to paint a picture of 1:09:37.920 --> 1:09:40.840 me that wasn't even accurate, Like I never said I had. 1:09:41.120 --> 1:09:43.040 I didn't like Norrie brought up the fact I had 1:09:43.080 --> 1:09:45.439 a crib on um Q Gardens and all of that. 1:09:45.960 --> 1:09:47.320 A lot of people in the industry thought I was 1:09:47.520 --> 1:09:50.120 living at queen Bridge.

Like I've had situations with even my publicist 1:11:56.600 --> 1:11:59.400 people quote are like, yo, he's he's dangerous, don't mess 1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:02.000 with him. Um, there's a dude I wanted to manage 1:12:02.040 --> 1:12:04.759 me before people call him like yo, his crew is crazy. 1:12:04.800 --> 1:12:07.080 They kill people because they beat up Steve Stout as 1:12:07.160 --> 1:12:08.600 that was. I don't I don't think. I don't know 1:12:08.600 --> 1:12:11.800 if that had anything to do with that, but because 1:12:11.800 --> 1:12:15.519 I remember that as well. Yeah, that was all for 1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:17.720 the culture. It was for the coaching, for the coach 1:12:17.840 --> 1:12:20.679 at that time, that time, for the culture, for the culture, 1:12:20.760 --> 1:12:23.280 coaching music.

It wasn't 1:13:13.120 --> 1:13:16.120 blackless because you know what, people paying a picture of 1:13:16.200 --> 1:13:19.080 you that's inaccurate, and they tried. And when people paying 1:13:19.080 --> 1:13:23.439 a certain picture of you which would deter other people 1:13:23.479 --> 1:13:26.479 from doing business with you, it's like that's blacklisting, Like 1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:29.599 people have done that ball that's the same thing. It's cocklock. 1:13:29.720 --> 1:13:32.240 It's the same. But you know what, so you're telling 1:13:32.320 --> 1:13:35.240 me you went like and met with somebody.

And then you know 1:13:46.400 --> 1:13:52.280 how I killed all of that though performance exceeds reputation. 1:13:53.840 --> 1:13:56.120 So for everything you said bad about me, I just 1:13:56.479 --> 1:13:59.760 I'm never late to meetings. I've never missed a deadline, 1:14:00.360 --> 1:14:03.920 and like I told, I told Kevin loves this. When 1:14:03.960 --> 1:14:05.560 I when I when I when I.

They know how I was. 1:14:15.960 --> 1:14:21.160 I said, Yo, my street influence and reputation has never 1:14:22.120 --> 1:14:26.439 interfere with my professionalism as an artist. You sit here 1:14:26.439 --> 1:14:28.519 in your office every day, you drive home and your 1:14:28.520 --> 1:14:32.360 big lexus to your house in Long Island. But I'm 1:14:32.400 --> 1:14:34.800 sitting on the shelf, which is not a label. Never 1:14:34.960 --> 1:14:37.759 lend me to do what I have to do for myself. 1:14:38.479 --> 1:14:40.439 You here doing able to do what you have to 1:14:40.479 --> 1:14:42.640 do for yourself, but you're not a neighbor to me 1:14:42.840 --> 1:14:44.519 to do what I have to do for myself. So 1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:47.680 I say, I'm not asking you. I'm telling you. Yet 1:14:47.720 --> 1:14:52.599 I'm asking you. I want to continue to not let 1:14:52.720 --> 1:14:58.280 my influence affect my professionalism as an artist. I want 1:14:58.280 --> 1:15:01.280 to be able to live and take my families. I 1:15:01.320 --> 1:15:02.960 got That's how I got off. Did you put out 1:15:03.000 --> 1:15:05.640 the gun? There's no guns, none of that. Let's make 1:15:05.720 --> 1:15:11.640 some loyals for no guns. I have that horrible. Now 1:15:11.920 --> 1:15:14.360 do you feel like you're in limbo? Is there a move? 1:15:14.640 --> 1:15:16.960 Like if you have a choice right now, you was like, y'all, 1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:19.439 let me just bust a move and be independent, because 1:15:19.640 --> 1:15:22.320 you wouldn't you know your big brother You know what 1:15:22.360 --> 1:15:25.200 I'm saying, that they beef and would that something you'd 1:15:25.200 --> 1:15:29.000 be interested in? You're going independent? Um right now because 1:15:29.080 --> 1:15:31.600 right now to New York, your fans, a lot of 1:15:31.640 --> 1:15:35.160 people just need to hear you man, like, Um, I'm 1:15:35.200 --> 1:15:38.880 not gonna lie, And I don't want to sound funny 1:15:38.960 --> 1:15:41.800 saying this because Mega said it earlier, like where your 1:15:41.880 --> 1:15:44.599 loyalty and get you? Sometimes being loyal to the wrong 1:15:44.720 --> 1:15:48.280 people or holding your loyalty could put you in a 1:15:48.560 --> 1:15:50.920 in a in a difficult space. You know what I'm 1:15:50.960 --> 1:15:52.600 saying that it can mess you up later in the 1:15:52.680 --> 1:15:55.479 long run. But I would never see myself departing from 1:15:55.560 --> 1:15:59.320 Wayne ever since I ever since I met him. He 1:15:59.439 --> 1:16:01.519 kept in a it with me from day one. So 1:16:01.640 --> 1:16:03.960 what happens if you drop ted mix tapes right now 1:16:04.439 --> 1:16:07.519 and like out of these tedd like you're good four 1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:13.080 records that go on fire, like would it would technically 1:16:13.200 --> 1:16:16.200 be still tied to baby as well? Um to my 1:16:16.360 --> 1:16:19.360 knowledge yet, But by then. I think at the end 1:16:19.360 --> 1:16:22.880 of the day, business is business. So once once, if 1:16:23.080 --> 1:16:25.320 if some product is out and it's on fire and 1:16:25.360 --> 1:16:29.400 it's undeniable, things, I think things are working work theirselves 1:16:29.439 --> 1:16:32.400 out that way, Like if it's buzzing and it's undeniable 1:16:32.479 --> 1:16:36.040 and people, I think some business has gone some business 1:16:36.080 --> 1:16:38.080 to be taken care of on that on that end, 1:16:38.400 --> 1:16:40.639 So that's what I'm That's what I'm really I'm banking 1:16:40.720 --> 1:16:42.840 on that. I'm hoping for that. That's so I ain't 1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:46.160 letting nothing to stop me from working. I got hundreds 1:16:46.200 --> 1:16:49.120 of songs, literally, like, I got so much music right 1:16:49.160 --> 1:16:51.519 now it's like, well, I'm putting projects together and just 1:16:51.600 --> 1:16:55.160 about to just throw them out. That would you yourself ever? 1:16:55.280 --> 1:16:59.320 Do love hip hop? I don't think Nah. Shout out 1:16:59.360 --> 1:17:02.000 to um, shout to Nick Cannon man I had I had. 1:17:02.640 --> 1:17:06.640 I did the reality show Son of a Gun. It 1:17:06.800 --> 1:17:10.080 was kind of UM. I know how it goals. I 1:17:10.200 --> 1:17:13.800 know the ropes to these reality shows, and sometimes they 1:17:13.880 --> 1:17:16.120 put you in situations that you don't want to be in. 1:17:16.720 --> 1:17:21.080 But I also know that it's entertainment and at the 1:17:21.240 --> 1:17:24.000 end of the day, it's ratings. And besides that, I'm 1:17:24.040 --> 1:17:26.200 not saying this fake or not, but it's just something 1:17:26.280 --> 1:17:30.360 that I'm not comfortable with. Yeah, I'm I'm, I'm really 1:17:30.479 --> 1:17:33.320 I'm kind of introverted. Like I like I still, I 1:17:33.439 --> 1:17:36.680 still like my privacy. It's it's certain things that I 1:17:36.760 --> 1:17:38.720 don't want the public. You know what I'm saying. I 1:17:38.760 --> 1:17:40.519 don't want a public eye on I like to be 1:17:40.720 --> 1:17:42.680 I like to be private about certain things in my 1:17:42.800 --> 1:17:45.479 life still, so I don't think that's the lane that 1:17:45.520 --> 1:17:48.960 I will ever go back into on my own. But 1:17:49.320 --> 1:17:52.680 as far as that, like, I don't everybody else doing it, 1:17:52.880 --> 1:17:55.320 like shout out to them. You know what I'm saying 1:17:55.600 --> 1:17:59.800 to jerk off too much? Are you gonna do? Because 1:17:59.840 --> 1:18:03.080 if you ever wanted? But how about Jim Magga, we 1:18:03.320 --> 1:18:05.320 ever see you on Love and Hip Hop? I don't 1:18:05.360 --> 1:18:07.519 think so. I don't got the patience for it. How 1:18:07.560 --> 1:18:10.120 about reality period? Like if the check is right and 1:18:10.160 --> 1:18:12.480 it's it's not, it's something that's not going to sacrifice 1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:17.360 my chegity. Real reality in your opinion. When I got 1:18:17.479 --> 1:18:20.360 over to do one of the joints, but I had 1:18:20.400 --> 1:18:22.800 to give it some thought. Somebody wanted me to do. 1:18:23.040 --> 1:18:28.479 Um what's that thing? Um? The name of Um, it's 1:18:28.520 --> 1:18:32.160 the thing the relationship one A couple of therapy. Yeah yeah, yeah, 1:18:32.320 --> 1:18:34.000 they offered me that too bad, But I didn't have No, 1:18:34.120 --> 1:18:37.519 I didn't like the girl wasn't my girl. It wasn't 1:18:37.520 --> 1:18:40.000 it would have been real, I don't. It wouldn't have 1:18:40.000 --> 1:18:42.280 been real for it like that, Oh the girl wasn't 1:18:42.320 --> 1:18:45.560 really a girl. No no, no, no, that's completely so. 1:18:47.080 --> 1:18:49.679 But you know, you know why, I'm not completely against 1:18:49.760 --> 1:18:58.120 reality or as it actually we finishes people sometimes, you know, um, 1:18:59.520 --> 1:19:02.080 it gets you from zero to a hundred. You know 1:19:02.080 --> 1:19:04.599 what I'm saying. Like, know what I'm saying. And it's 1:19:04.640 --> 1:19:08.000 like like to me, if you ask people who I've 1:19:08.000 --> 1:19:11.320 seen who just did it? Did an excellent jobs, Pap 1:19:11.400 --> 1:19:19.719 Poose excellent jaw. But the show Black Love. That's a fact, 1:19:19.880 --> 1:19:22.920 you know, that's the trade off for that fame. All Right. 1:19:23.160 --> 1:19:25.439 I don't know if it's worth it. I mean something. 1:19:25.479 --> 1:19:27.320 I mean it's not just saying just loving hip hop. 1:19:27.360 --> 1:19:30.080 I'm saying TV period, Like you know what I'm saying. 1:19:30.200 --> 1:19:34.240 Like it's like look at iced tea man, Yeah Scott 1:19:34.280 --> 1:19:36.720 had a cop killer. Now he's a cop on a 1:19:36.800 --> 1:19:42.639 TV show? Yea every fucking day, Like he plays a cop. 1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:47.240 He had a shong called cop Killer. So all I'm 1:19:47.280 --> 1:19:50.400 saying is he's you can still keep who you are 1:19:51.000 --> 1:19:54.320 and adventure into this other world. I'm saying, like, long 1:19:54.439 --> 1:19:56.480 is it like megas as long is it on compromise 1:19:56.479 --> 1:19:59.160 the integrity and nothing like that, Like I'm not turned 1:19:59.160 --> 1:20:01.800 out when we roll, like I'm not morally bankrupt man. 1:20:01.880 --> 1:20:06.439 And that was a strong But what did you say? 1:20:06.600 --> 1:20:08.679 Can you say that again? He said some niggas bank 1:20:08.720 --> 1:20:11.000 bolt is strong? What do you say? I don't remember 1:20:11.000 --> 1:20:13.559 what I said that. That's just what we're gonna sample. 1:20:15.280 --> 1:20:20.639 Trust they're gonna quote that I got That is crazy. 1:20:20.760 --> 1:20:22.439 So I got you for days. So so so what's 1:20:22.520 --> 1:20:24.439 what's So? What's what's the next for Core? You guys? Man? 1:20:24.560 --> 1:20:27.880 Come on? Criminal minded? Criminal? Is you're paying homage to 1:20:27.960 --> 1:20:32.040 a caress with that? Yeah? Yeah, I am. I'm gonna 1:20:32.080 --> 1:20:34.120 have him more there it's a bronze state on there 1:20:34.680 --> 1:20:39.080 and then um, that's family shout out to caress. It's um, 1:20:39.840 --> 1:20:42.200 it's paying homage. But at the same time, I'm not. 1:20:42.240 --> 1:20:44.519 I don't want people to confuse it and think that 1:20:44.600 --> 1:20:47.880 I'm trying to redo what he did, because that's not 1:20:48.720 --> 1:20:51.320 that's not possible. You know what I'm saying. He to me, 1:20:52.439 --> 1:20:55.400 He he held the torch and he started, he started, 1:20:55.600 --> 1:20:58.439 he wrapped, he put the bronx on. So that's not 1:20:58.560 --> 1:21:00.439 really what I'm trying to do. What I'm trying to 1:21:00.560 --> 1:21:05.360 do is just give a revamp it and just give 1:21:05.400 --> 1:21:09.040 a new direction, like to to what it did at 1:21:09.080 --> 1:21:12.960 the time it came out, but is a reference back 1:21:13.040 --> 1:21:15.719 to the cars some of it, because I think sometimes 1:21:15.800 --> 1:21:19.400 it's dope is when when younger cats do something paint homage, 1:21:19.640 --> 1:21:24.519 and then you they go back, It's okay, that should 1:21:24.800 --> 1:21:27.160 it's heavenly inspired by him. I'm not I'm not gonna lie. 1:21:27.200 --> 1:21:30.640 I'm not doing nothing like I'm not gonna be it's 1:21:30.680 --> 1:21:33.160 not gonna be cliche with him, like running over a 1:21:33.240 --> 1:21:35.200 lot of his music or a lot of his stuff 1:21:35.240 --> 1:21:38.559 like that, like it's soul original music. But you're gonna 1:21:38.600 --> 1:21:42.080 hear elements from from him and different things like that, 1:21:42.920 --> 1:21:45.719 especially from that album. You're going here see the visuals 1:21:45.760 --> 1:21:50.720 and hear different elements of how it inspired the projects. Yeah, right, 1:21:52.040 --> 1:21:55.240 that's great. I don't jump sitting here back and I'm 1:21:55.280 --> 1:21:56.760 not trying to cut nobody or if you see me, 1:21:56.800 --> 1:22:00.040 I'm you know what I mean, you don't drink of 1:22:00.120 --> 1:22:07.200 the like I'm trying to be quiet and ship how realized, 1:22:07.240 --> 1:22:09.840 Like that's why sometimes cause I've been zoned in the 1:22:09.960 --> 1:22:11.640 stories like they started linking, you know what I mean, 1:22:11.720 --> 1:22:16.160 Like this ship is crazy so mega. In the early days, 1:22:16.640 --> 1:22:18.640 one of the first DJs, the first DJ to ever 1:22:18.800 --> 1:22:22.920 recored my demo, my first demo I ever made, was 1:22:23.000 --> 1:22:28.200 a DJ named DJ hot Day. How DJ hot Day 1:22:28.240 --> 1:22:30.920 was one of the hottest DJs in Queen's Bridge hands 1:22:31.000 --> 1:22:35.000 down and in the world. How important was DJ hot 1:22:35.120 --> 1:22:42.439 Day during the beginning of your career, Like prior to 1:22:42.560 --> 1:22:48.559 you getting locked up? Proud of me get locked up. 1:22:48.680 --> 1:22:52.080 He gave me my start, But as far as importance 1:22:55.560 --> 1:22:57.560 after that, he didn't do nothing, Like he worked on 1:22:57.640 --> 1:23:00.680 everybody else's album, Like he was working a poet and 1:23:00.920 --> 1:23:06.080 and and other artists. So during that time, that's how 1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:08.439 Molly came in the picture. Because during that time, I'm 1:23:08.479 --> 1:23:11.920 running around good Fellas week. I was like, that's that's 1:23:11.960 --> 1:23:17.639 a gang, wasn't Yeah, it was was hanging together friends. 1:23:19.240 --> 1:23:21.920 So we're running around the street good Fellas in the 1:23:21.960 --> 1:23:25.040 forty buses, right, Yeah, there's a few cruise, burning posse 1:23:26.120 --> 1:23:27.400 a few, it's a lot of you know what I mean. 1:23:27.520 --> 1:23:32.719 So basically he gave me. He did give me my start, 1:23:32.840 --> 1:23:37.720 but he didn't put any effort into me. So that's 1:23:37.720 --> 1:23:40.519 how you know. I waited. I waited and I was patient, 1:23:41.240 --> 1:23:46.760 but it didn't happen. So um at that it got 1:23:46.800 --> 1:23:50.280 to a point where I was so nice. Drug dealers 1:23:50.720 --> 1:23:52.160 was like, Yo, We're gonna pay for you to go 1:23:52.200 --> 1:23:54.040 to the studio. Like the biggest drug dealer in the 1:23:54.080 --> 1:23:56.679 hood was like, I'm paying for your studio. Like both 1:23:56.720 --> 1:24:00.479 of them, both, like the strongest cruise were money wanted. 1:24:00.640 --> 1:24:02.200 My man Lloyd was like, yeah, I'm gonna pay for 1:24:02.240 --> 1:24:03.800 you to go to the studio. Lord just locked that 1:24:03.880 --> 1:24:06.160 right now, my lord. And then work doesn't do theme 1:24:06.240 --> 1:24:08.800 word from Quaidbridge. He was the man. He's like, I'm 1:24:08.800 --> 1:24:10.320 gonna put you in the student like everybody wanted to 1:24:10.360 --> 1:24:12.320 put me in the studio because I wasn't in the studio. 1:24:13.000 --> 1:24:20.280 So um, how I got my real break was from 1:24:20.360 --> 1:24:24.479 hand Carter. I know that name, Who's hand Carter. He 1:24:24.560 --> 1:24:26.800 had the um the Gold Barter Foundation, he had the 1:24:27.439 --> 1:24:29.920 Roosevelt Island, he had a whole hospital name that though 1:24:30.000 --> 1:24:33.479 I keep thinking, like thinking of a basketball coach. I'm 1:24:33.479 --> 1:24:39.920 bugging right. He's affiliated with the wheel check son happened 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:43.960 with his with his son and and some people in 1:24:44.040 --> 1:24:48.559 my crew, and I wasn't there, so m I didn't 1:24:48.600 --> 1:24:51.360 know what happened. So when Hank came the father, he 1:24:51.560 --> 1:24:53.479 was oh, he was turned up. He's like, he's like 1:24:54.080 --> 1:24:56.240 you like he's ready to fight me. And I was like, 1:24:56.280 --> 1:24:57.360 what are you talking. I don't even know what the 1:24:57.400 --> 1:25:00.599 hell is going on. So then he's a good person. 1:25:00.680 --> 1:25:02.640 He felt bad that he came at me like that 1:25:02.680 --> 1:25:06.280 because people in something like yeah, Cord wasn't there, so 1:25:06.640 --> 1:25:10.759 he felt bad about that. So people another late, another 1:25:10.800 --> 1:25:13.120 person I have to give pre credit to is Mary Stevens. 1:25:14.200 --> 1:25:16.560 So she worked in the community center and then she 1:25:17.320 --> 1:25:19.720 and somebody else told hand called like this guy could 1:25:19.800 --> 1:25:25.760 rap very good. And then Hack called Molly Mall and 1:25:25.880 --> 1:25:30.120 Hank said, because Molly, like this is after Juice cool, 1:25:30.160 --> 1:25:32.519 Molly Mall. This is Molly was the king of the world. 1:25:33.240 --> 1:25:35.519 This is like Molly, this is right after Mama said 1:25:35.600 --> 1:25:38.559 knock you out and all of that. Molly Molly wasn't 1:25:38.600 --> 1:25:41.720 even rocking with too many people, so he was like, yeah, 1:25:41.720 --> 1:25:43.880 I want you to hear this guy. So Molly hurt 1:25:43.960 --> 1:25:47.560 from my joints. Next thing you know, me and Ellis 1:25:48.080 --> 1:25:52.559 is going to Molly's house knocking out songs like Ellie 1:25:52.760 --> 1:25:54.880 Us to Be was gonna be my DJ, and he 1:25:55.000 --> 1:25:57.040 was making some of my he was helping me my album. 1:25:58.000 --> 1:26:02.720 Unfortunately I blew trial. So when I blew trial, do 1:26:02.800 --> 1:26:04.280 you want to say what you was on trial for? 1:26:04.520 --> 1:26:06.760 So the listeners know not to do this. I didn't 1:26:06.760 --> 1:26:09.200 even do what I want yo, I didn't do nothing. 1:26:09.280 --> 1:26:10.880 I mean no, let me, let me, let me not 1:26:10.960 --> 1:26:13.000 paint the pictures like I'm gonna say. I went to 1:26:13.120 --> 1:26:15.439 jail because that's that was God's plan for me, because 1:26:15.479 --> 1:26:17.400 if I got coot for stuff that I really did, 1:26:17.800 --> 1:26:19.800 I would have did more terms. But the thing that 1:26:19.840 --> 1:26:22.479 I went to jail four I didn't even do. They 1:26:22.479 --> 1:26:25.280 said I robbed somebody in theergy tram. Why would I 1:26:25.439 --> 1:26:30.479 for a gun? Uh a police officer at that like 1:26:31.520 --> 1:26:34.160 off duty correction officer up. So it's like that was 1:26:34.800 --> 1:26:37.559 basically a cop set me up. Because there's this cop 1:26:37.640 --> 1:26:40.000 that hated me and he set me up. His name 1:26:40.080 --> 1:26:44.960 was Connor Lee, and he just set me up. The 1:26:45.000 --> 1:26:51.360 opposite of make noise for him basically. So basically I 1:26:51.439 --> 1:26:52.920 had I had a case that I was going to 1:26:53.000 --> 1:26:56.240 court for and I beat it. So as I'm walking 1:26:56.280 --> 1:27:01.560 out the courtroom, they said, oh, you fit the identification 1:27:01.600 --> 1:27:04.320 of somebody. So I was like, this is a joke, right, 1:27:04.439 --> 1:27:06.400 So I went with the cops. They put me in 1:27:06.400 --> 1:27:08.439 the line up and next you know, her man, jail. 1:27:09.720 --> 1:27:12.080 How long did you have to do? I was. I 1:27:12.080 --> 1:27:13.960 would have been I would have been in jail obviously 1:27:14.000 --> 1:27:15.880 for like up to two years until trial, but my 1:27:15.960 --> 1:27:19.360 crew bailed me out. So and then I hired David Cohen, 1:27:19.400 --> 1:27:22.880 who was fat cast lawyer as my lawyer. Some real 1:27:23.000 --> 1:27:28.320 queenship right now, queens. So basically you tell it. First 1:27:28.360 --> 1:27:32.000 of all, I probably had had had the had the 1:27:32.080 --> 1:27:34.800 crazy like we had the craziest guns in the hood. 1:27:35.400 --> 1:27:42.120 So it's insult. And so you told me nigga, yeah, 1:27:42.200 --> 1:27:44.800 a thirty eight at that that's you know, like I 1:27:44.920 --> 1:27:49.479 give those it's just popping now. So it's like at 1:27:49.560 --> 1:27:51.599 that time, it was an insult. So I went to jail, 1:27:51.680 --> 1:27:54.640 something I didn't even do. So that's how I came home. 1:27:54.680 --> 1:27:57.240 I came home on a pill and you know, getting 1:27:57.240 --> 1:28:00.479 the pills like winning a lotto. So basically, children wasn't 1:28:00.479 --> 1:28:02.240 the first nigga came home on the pill. I didn't 1:28:02.240 --> 1:28:04.680 even know what I mean, Tupac it was. It was 1:28:04.760 --> 1:28:10.679 called Mecca, you know, that's what the pill. I didn't 1:28:10.680 --> 1:28:13.200 even know that. So basically, yeah, that's what I went 1:28:13.280 --> 1:28:16.120 to jail for for that. So basically the reason I 1:28:16.200 --> 1:28:19.360 came home because when I went to jail, I was 1:28:19.439 --> 1:28:22.799 too I can't even call it stubborn. I was driven 1:28:22.920 --> 1:28:25.080 to not accept that because I didn't do that. I 1:28:25.200 --> 1:28:28.200 wasn't going out like that because as soon as you 1:28:28.240 --> 1:28:32.479 go to jail, they got all the exercise facilities and 1:28:32.479 --> 1:28:35.240 all of that recreation facilities for you, so that that's 1:28:35.240 --> 1:28:38.040 a distraction. I didn't do that. I went to Lord 1:28:38.120 --> 1:28:40.800 Library every day because it was mad inconsistencies in my case. 1:28:41.439 --> 1:28:44.519 So I started doing my own emotions, sent it to 1:28:44.600 --> 1:28:47.800 a lawyer. We started working back and forth. Next you know, 1:28:47.920 --> 1:28:51.920 my pill. I got my pill. Like so um, I 1:28:52.000 --> 1:28:53.360 think it was a bless me going to jails, a 1:28:53.400 --> 1:28:55.639 blessing in the sky. Because I went to jail, everybody 1:28:55.720 --> 1:28:57.880 is to be with got more time than me, and 1:28:57.920 --> 1:28:59.840 I had a decent amount of time. So it was 1:29:00.560 --> 1:29:02.439 whole All the good fellas pretty much went to jails 1:29:02.479 --> 1:29:04.479 have a couple. So if I'd have been home, I 1:29:04.479 --> 1:29:06.720 would have got caught up with that definitely. But while 1:29:06.760 --> 1:29:09.080 I went to jail, I got my g D two 1:29:09.240 --> 1:29:10.800 years off of that. Now I did more than two 1:29:10.880 --> 1:29:13.679 years just over that. Because you said you came holding 1:29:13.760 --> 1:29:15.840 a pill. I came home after like three and change. 1:29:15.880 --> 1:29:17.920 I wanted four years. I got a lot of time, 1:29:18.040 --> 1:29:23.320 bro So so um, I went to jail. I went 1:29:23.360 --> 1:29:27.400 to the box. While it's in the box, it's a 1:29:27.479 --> 1:29:30.280 small little rooms, just a bed in the saying. You know, 1:29:30.479 --> 1:29:33.160 you know the runnings. There's a little slit in the door. 1:29:34.280 --> 1:29:36.040 That's how that's where they give you your food. And 1:29:36.160 --> 1:29:40.720 one day they passed. They came out with a book 1:29:40.760 --> 1:29:42.920 with a book trade. They were dripping about the you know, 1:29:43.000 --> 1:29:46.200 walking out of the book card. I got a book, 1:29:47.000 --> 1:29:49.559 The Order Biography of Malcolm Max. That's the first book 1:29:49.560 --> 1:29:52.160 I had in jailed, as well, Change My Life by 1:29:52.200 --> 1:29:55.800 Alex Helley. Correct. That's I think every street kid in 1:29:55.880 --> 1:29:59.120 the world should read that. I read that book and 1:29:59.200 --> 1:30:02.840 it's like, wow, we because we're conditioned to believe that 1:30:03.320 --> 1:30:06.840 we're funk ups and there is no promised land for us, 1:30:07.040 --> 1:30:08.800 and like, once you go to jail, it's like your 1:30:08.840 --> 1:30:11.040 life is over. Your convict, you can't do anything. So 1:30:11.200 --> 1:30:14.600 we're misled to believe that. So now I'm reading this 1:30:14.760 --> 1:30:17.320 book and I could relate to him, this dude that's 1:30:17.320 --> 1:30:20.840 in jail, and he said he was, you know, he 1:30:20.880 --> 1:30:23.680 couldn't really read and all that that good. Then he 1:30:23.720 --> 1:30:26.240 started studying more. He became very articularly, became one of 1:30:26.280 --> 1:30:31.439 the most articulated speakers of his generation. So I said 1:30:31.479 --> 1:30:33.000 to myself, he could do it, why I can't do it. 1:30:33.240 --> 1:30:34.560 I might not could do it like he did it, 1:30:34.640 --> 1:30:38.000 But I'm gonna improve myself while I'm here in this circumstance. 1:30:38.360 --> 1:30:42.320 Why should I just beat another number statistic that the 1:30:42.439 --> 1:30:45.760 first two books already was that already um marcol X 1:30:45.800 --> 1:30:48.400 and hard Son by Donald Ganes. I didn't read that yet. 1:30:48.439 --> 1:30:50.439 He didn't read the first books I read. And there 1:30:50.520 --> 1:30:55.680 was the Bible and what is matter? What what what? 1:30:55.760 --> 1:31:01.479 What we're religion coaches is called magna. I'm Muslim. That's why, 1:31:02.000 --> 1:31:04.479 that's why, that's why you didn't see me drink alcohol, 1:31:04.560 --> 1:31:07.479 Because first of all, you got the number one podcast. 1:31:07.640 --> 1:31:13.920 That's why make yers for that mega no one so nice. 1:31:14.720 --> 1:31:18.720 In this day and age, Islam get such a bad 1:31:18.840 --> 1:31:21.639 stigma attached to it. Falsely, you're gonna be the negative. 1:31:21.720 --> 1:31:28.519 Come here, it's called showing a dad. So showing a 1:31:28.680 --> 1:31:36.240 dad like a Muslim window, say no, not that put 1:31:36.360 --> 1:31:41.680 like this almost almost prominent, positive and beautiful voice has 1:31:41.760 --> 1:31:43.760 been silenced. And that was and that was a brother 1:31:43.840 --> 1:31:46.280 by the name of Muhammad Ali who just recently passed. 1:31:46.760 --> 1:31:49.720 So it's like we need more positive role models for 1:31:50.040 --> 1:31:52.839 for Muslims. Like so when they say what is your religion? 1:31:52.920 --> 1:31:57.479 I really don't. I don't think God said about to 1:31:58.040 --> 1:32:02.960 have a religion. It's to be Muslim. Is is pretty 1:32:03.040 --> 1:32:05.560 much the same thing as Christianity. We all believe in 1:32:05.760 --> 1:32:08.160 in one guard, you know what I'm saying. It's just 1:32:10.160 --> 1:32:11.760 I think a lot of more, a lot more people 1:32:11.800 --> 1:32:15.560 would would would would turn to Islam. But Islam is 1:32:16.120 --> 1:32:19.280 to discipline. Is too much discipline for certain people, Like 1:32:19.400 --> 1:32:22.120 you don't you can't eat pork, you can't do certain things. 1:32:22.400 --> 1:32:25.320 You gotta pray five times a day. There's a lot 1:32:25.360 --> 1:32:27.280 of you pray five times a day, not all the time. 1:32:27.520 --> 1:32:29.439 Because I'm not gonna say him live. That's cool. There's 1:32:29.439 --> 1:32:31.120 things I need to see you. In the hood, it 1:32:31.240 --> 1:32:34.400 was like three o'clock in the morning, it's mad, wild 1:32:34.479 --> 1:32:37.840 goons out and you had the crown One chill with 1:32:37.920 --> 1:32:41.719 you the whole night. I'm like, God like the crown 1:32:41.880 --> 1:32:44.280 on and you know it. You know the hood is 1:32:44.320 --> 1:32:47.080 better though, Now do you think so? I don't. I don't. 1:32:47.120 --> 1:32:48.680 I'm I'm gonna keeping her. I don't even be in 1:32:48.720 --> 1:32:51.360 the hood all the time, neither. But I'm saying, like 1:32:51.720 --> 1:32:54.320 what it changed from where the ever we grew up 1:32:54.360 --> 1:32:56.120 in There was time there was times when I used 1:32:56.120 --> 1:33:02.280 to come in the in the crib like I dig 1:33:02.320 --> 1:33:04.200 in this pocket, I get the cheated open the door, 1:33:04.680 --> 1:33:07.479 but I got my hand on my gun in case 1:33:07.520 --> 1:33:09.559 somebody trying to get at me, you know what I'm saying. 1:33:09.560 --> 1:33:12.439 So it's like there's still that, but it's not that 1:33:12.600 --> 1:33:16.000 element of it's not that element of aggressive like goon 1:33:16.120 --> 1:33:18.320 aggression like it was when we was coming up. You 1:33:18.360 --> 1:33:21.120 know what I'm saying, Like, now you was originally from Brooklyn? 1:33:21.280 --> 1:33:26.160 Is that correct? I was born in bed Style? Bed Style? 1:33:27.040 --> 1:33:30.880 And then what year did you go to the bridge? Um, 1:33:32.800 --> 1:33:34.519 I don't want to have to look in my book 1:33:34.560 --> 1:33:36.280 of life. I don't mean when you have moved to Bridge. 1:33:36.320 --> 1:33:39.160 I moved to the Bridge when I was young, and um, 1:33:39.280 --> 1:33:42.680 I lived a few places because but the bridge is 1:33:42.760 --> 1:33:45.680 your home. No, my home is my house is my 1:33:45.760 --> 1:33:51.160 home now the Bridge the bridge where I came up at. 1:33:51.960 --> 1:33:54.400 But there's certain there's different places in my there's different 1:33:54.400 --> 1:33:57.960 places that that played, um a central part of me. 1:33:58.800 --> 1:34:00.720 You know what I think. You know what a lot 1:34:00.760 --> 1:34:02.880 of people say about me, They say you're different from 1:34:03.600 --> 1:34:06.719 a lot of rappers from the Bridge. I got different 1:34:06.760 --> 1:34:09.200 coaches in me from different places. Like I was talking 1:34:09.240 --> 1:34:10.519 to somebody the other day, I was like, you know, 1:34:10.640 --> 1:34:13.280 I used to live I'm talking about men overhead a 1:34:13.280 --> 1:34:15.639 matter of fact fixed and we're talking about Corp City 1:34:15.680 --> 1:34:18.680 in the Bronx. I used to living Corp City. A 1:34:18.720 --> 1:34:20.680 lot of people don't know that. I always identified the 1:34:20.800 --> 1:34:23.720 Corps because they got terrorism and left practice exactly. So 1:34:24.080 --> 1:34:26.679 I had Bronx culture in me. I got Brooklyn coach 1:34:26.760 --> 1:34:29.040 at me, I got Queens coach at me, and I 1:34:29.120 --> 1:34:30.600 adapted all of that. And I used to be in 1:34:30.960 --> 1:34:32.760 hall m a lot. The reason I used to be 1:34:32.880 --> 1:34:35.400 so many places who got a beetle the fund is 1:34:35.439 --> 1:34:43.160 that that's the camera here. That sounds like a beetlegger. 1:34:43.240 --> 1:34:48.880 I was like, yeah, that's great, but held on, that's 1:34:48.920 --> 1:34:58.439 exactly let's see right there. No, I want to make 1:34:58.479 --> 1:35:04.800 sure he's still filming though, got camera right there. Yeah, 1:35:04.880 --> 1:35:07.640 I just switched. Listen. Yeah, well, I just want to 1:35:07.680 --> 1:35:10.880 make sure we got both fingers. But get had keep going. 1:35:11.240 --> 1:35:17.040 Is it working all right? Cool? Cool, Yeah, it's just 1:35:17.120 --> 1:35:22.280 a little batter me. Just cool, cool, cool. It's gonna 1:35:22.280 --> 1:35:28.599 be rich what you're doing rich a bandon sniffing coke 1:35:30.880 --> 1:35:36.200 like a coke breaking Get down in Miami, man, I'm 1:35:36.280 --> 1:35:39.759 fucking with you.

So, like I said, 1:35:52.920 --> 1:35:55.560 I absorbed a lot of absorbed. I'm like, I'm like, 1:35:56.080 --> 1:35:58.120 I'm the epitome of New York. I lived in mad 1:35:58.200 --> 1:36:01.040 different places or frequent in the a lot of different places. 1:36:01.479 --> 1:36:04.120 But the Bridge was my base. The business. The Bridge 1:36:04.200 --> 1:36:09.360 is responsible for my for my passion with hip hop. 1:36:09.560 --> 1:36:12.840 When people's careers took off, I'm talking about back in 1:36:12.920 --> 1:36:15.479 the days I was dead. I was there when bis 1:36:15.560 --> 1:36:18.400 Markey first performed in the park. You know, I was dead. 1:36:19.120 --> 1:36:22.519 I was there for Smitty the Number Man when Smithy 1:36:22.600 --> 1:36:24.639 was the number one number. When I was there missing 1:36:24.680 --> 1:36:27.439 everything was that I was there when Craig had shout out, 1:36:28.120 --> 1:36:30.920 you know, stuff like that. So I absorbed all that. 1:36:31.120 --> 1:36:34.519 But um, I think it's different places that I've been 1:36:34.560 --> 1:36:38.479 in my life that that I cultivated All that together 1:36:38.680 --> 1:36:41.680 that made me like, like far Rockaway was like my 1:36:41.760 --> 1:36:46.160 gladiated school Rockaway. Edge Man is like edge Man is 1:36:46.240 --> 1:36:49.240 like the king of edge Man is the king of hoods, 1:36:49.479 --> 1:36:53.320 the king of grimy hoods like Far Rockaway. People don't 1:36:53.400 --> 1:36:55.800 understand that's that's a lot of people got beat up 1:36:55.840 --> 1:36:58.240 in far Rockway because they thought queens were sold. So 1:36:58.240 --> 1:36:59.519 a lot of people used to just think they could 1:36:59.520 --> 1:37:01.720 come to the queen and didn't left fractic people think. 1:37:02.200 --> 1:37:04.160 You know what the funniest thing about far Rocker keeping 1:37:04.160 --> 1:37:07.640 a hunting um is I went there one night and 1:37:07.720 --> 1:37:11.000 they got the chicken spot in the lobby. That was 1:37:11.600 --> 1:37:15.599 like the first projects I ever seen that they got 1:37:15.720 --> 1:37:20.120 a chicken spot in the lobby, Like you gotta walk 1:37:20.200 --> 1:37:24.040 through Tarra to get a piece of chicken. If you 1:37:24.120 --> 1:37:27.240 got respected got far. If you got respected for Rocky real, 1:37:27.479 --> 1:37:30.439 you're a gun your gun bucker. That's a fact. That's 1:37:30.439 --> 1:37:35.880 a fact. Shout out everybody, Far Root, everybody, shout out 1:37:35.920 --> 1:37:40.879 my man. Knowledge from from handles changed drugs and stacks 1:37:41.280 --> 1:37:45.479 recipes and JB. I know a lot of far rock away. 1:37:45.880 --> 1:37:49.680 But anyway, the Bridge, the Bridge. I owe so much 1:37:49.800 --> 1:37:51.559 to the Bridge, you know what. I love the Bridge. 1:37:52.520 --> 1:37:54.920 UM A lot of memories there, a lot of history there, 1:37:55.080 --> 1:37:59.000 put in a lot of work, a lot of friends there, family. 1:38:00.160 --> 1:38:05.720 So the bridges, the bridges to Quintas sent you. The 1:38:05.840 --> 1:38:09.400 Bridge might be the most important placed in hip hop 1:38:09.520 --> 1:38:11.479 history if you think about it. And I'm not saying 1:38:11.520 --> 1:38:14.920 this from a bias perspective, Like when you think of rap. 1:38:16.280 --> 1:38:19.960 Seant ushered in a whole new era for street rap 1:38:20.040 --> 1:38:23.280 and for women. She's for queens. With Molly, mar changed 1:38:23.680 --> 1:38:26.200 the whole production game. Like you talk to the top 1:38:26.240 --> 1:38:29.680 ten producers, They're all attributed some of their success to 1:38:29.840 --> 1:38:33.519 what Molly's done. Mc shan does not get the credit 1:38:33.560 --> 1:38:35.760 he deserved. He's one of the best m season if 1:38:35.760 --> 1:38:38.360 you listen to his other mc shan had the first 1:38:38.520 --> 1:38:41.800 UM concept record ever. He had that song talking about 1:38:41.960 --> 1:38:45.000 hip hop, like he had a song talking about cocaine, 1:38:45.080 --> 1:38:48.400 like it's a girl, Like like how comments Sense had 1:38:48.439 --> 1:38:51.519 that song about hipop had a song called cocaine. Listen 1:38:51.600 --> 1:38:55.160 to that like so Queen and then you think about 1:38:57.040 --> 1:39:02.040 like every major beef in hip hop, like the major 1:39:02.080 --> 1:39:06.439 beef in the hip hop Queen Beach somehow or another 1:39:06.479 --> 1:39:10.040 guy attached to it. Even if you like any beef 1:39:10.120 --> 1:39:12.840 you can think about, like Queen Bench is so powerful 1:39:12.920 --> 1:39:16.080 with hip hop. It's just like being there was like 1:39:16.439 --> 1:39:20.120 being if you're a rapper and you're really into wrap, 1:39:20.439 --> 1:39:22.240 growing up around Queen Beriach is like being in a 1:39:22.360 --> 1:39:28.280 dream about to spend of that. We're back. It's like 1:39:28.360 --> 1:39:31.280 being a dream. It's like being in a dream. Any block. 1:39:31.400 --> 1:39:34.040 You could just the man. You're just walking walking to 1:39:34.120 --> 1:39:35.960 the store, and then you bump into the one of 1:39:36.000 --> 1:39:37.640 the dopest rappers in the world. And then you go 1:39:37.800 --> 1:39:39.639 to laundry Matt, you see one of the dopest rappers 1:39:39.680 --> 1:39:44.680 in the world, and you know or producers so l e. 1:39:45.000 --> 1:39:54.439 S Schoolball, Black Cow called Mega Morb d Tragedy.

We need 1:40:25.000 --> 1:40:27.120 to get his life together on some real That's what 1:40:27.200 --> 1:40:28.680 I'm saying. I don't got no beet for him. But 1:40:28.760 --> 1:40:30.960 he's been doing this since Small six with called Mega. 1:40:31.360 --> 1:40:33.880 I don't know what's wrong with tragic grumpy, you know 1:40:33.920 --> 1:40:40.280 what I'm saying. And like tragic, like trag is a 1:40:40.320 --> 1:40:44.280 type of person, like don't play games in other words, 1:40:44.360 --> 1:40:49.320 like because you see me on some peaceful humbles humbles ship, 1:40:49.880 --> 1:40:52.120 like don't do something that you wouldn't have did when 1:40:52.160 --> 1:40:54.840 I was when I was that other Mega. Because at 1:40:54.880 --> 1:41:02.400 the same time, I'm at walk myself every day because 1:41:02.439 --> 1:41:04.000 there's time, Like at the same time, I could be 1:41:04.000 --> 1:41:05.479 the most homeble person, but it's not for me to 1:41:05.520 --> 1:41:09.000 pick up that phone. And if I do that, then 1:41:09.080 --> 1:41:11.600 what But at the same time, I don't got to 1:41:11.680 --> 1:41:14.000 be for nobody. It's just that, you know, I don't 1:41:14.000 --> 1:41:16.280 have been that night. I don't because I got mixed 1:41:16.280 --> 1:41:19.200 stories like it was promotional, people telling me your call. 1:41:19.240 --> 1:41:21.680 Omega got on stage, says something in trash, got on 1:41:21.800 --> 1:41:24.200 stage with what was exactly it was? It was I 1:41:24.240 --> 1:41:27.400 don't even want to talk about it's not or I 1:41:27.479 --> 1:41:33.880 know it was. All I know is dish. He shouldn't have. 1:41:34.560 --> 1:41:38.960 He was on he was on somebody's show, a podcast. 1:41:40.080 --> 1:41:45.000 Oh I was okay, and they said whatever with Mega 1:41:45.080 --> 1:41:47.720 there was they they were doing name association. So they 1:41:47.840 --> 1:41:50.640 so they named certain people like they named Having, and 1:41:50.720 --> 1:41:56.479 he said something that was disrespectful. Yeah, so's they mentioned 1:41:56.520 --> 1:41:59.320 having name then he died Having. I thought that was whack. 1:42:00.360 --> 1:42:03.600 So they said they mentioned Mega and he's like, I 1:42:03.680 --> 1:42:07.439 don't know. So my old thing was part of me 1:42:07.600 --> 1:42:11.040 was like I just fought it. I fought myself because 1:42:11.080 --> 1:42:12.960 I was like, I ain't even that serious. He ain't 1:42:12.960 --> 1:42:14.760 even worth it. And and and the reason I really 1:42:14.840 --> 1:42:18.880 didn't say nothing because somebody said, he's just trying to 1:42:18.920 --> 1:42:20.479 get it. He got an album out, that's why you're 1:42:20.479 --> 1:42:21.920 trying to do that. So I said, you know what 1:42:22.080 --> 1:42:23.800 I wait till his album comes out and does what 1:42:23.920 --> 1:42:27.120 it does, and then maybe I'll speak to him about it. 1:42:27.200 --> 1:42:29.840 But he wanted attention and I wasn't gonna I wasn't 1:42:29.840 --> 1:42:31.479 gonna help him getting no extra sells, you know what 1:42:31.479 --> 1:42:33.400 I'm saying. Like, you know what I'm saying. I was 1:42:33.400 --> 1:42:34.680 just gonna pray for him and hope we get his 1:42:34.760 --> 1:42:36.400 life together, you know what I'm saying. But I was 1:42:36.439 --> 1:42:38.080 told you I was cool, so when I heard I 1:42:38.120 --> 1:42:40.160 thought it was cool too. But you know, some people, 1:42:41.439 --> 1:42:45.040 some people be having that in some people got resentment 1:42:45.160 --> 1:42:48.439 in them, resentment issues because they feel like they should 1:42:48.479 --> 1:42:55.120 be you know, like he's not consistent. Put it like this, 1:42:55.680 --> 1:42:58.880 Like one time, I give a perfect example, somebody was 1:42:58.920 --> 1:43:02.040 talking my prodigies, but and then travels like, but he 1:43:02.200 --> 1:43:04.920 wasn't lying, though, But why would you say that you 1:43:04.920 --> 1:43:06.920 should have said nothing? You think you know what I'm saying. 1:43:07.120 --> 1:43:09.880 He had a documentary out before and he was sending 1:43:09.920 --> 1:43:12.080 it for nas. You know what I'm saying. You know 1:43:12.200 --> 1:43:14.400 we probably seen It's like, so, why why do you 1:43:14.479 --> 1:43:16.280 have an issue with everybody? Because that one time I 1:43:16.360 --> 1:43:18.360 did think it was cool. But at the same time, 1:43:18.920 --> 1:43:22.879 it's like I don't want to be cool with you anymore. 1:43:23.000 --> 1:43:24.960 I don't gonna beef with you, but I don't want 1:43:24.960 --> 1:43:28.240 to be cool with you because you got some kind 1:43:28.280 --> 1:43:29.640 of issues with me, and I don't need it. I 1:43:29.640 --> 1:43:31.280 don't even I don't need to try to figure out 1:43:31.320 --> 1:43:34.880 what those issues are. Now we can handle this, Like 1:43:35.439 --> 1:43:37.280 I don't I'm I'm I'm I'm trying to be a 1:43:37.360 --> 1:43:40.519 different person. But he know, like he promotes himself as 1:43:40.520 --> 1:43:42.240 a thug. I don't gotta promote myself as a dug. 1:43:42.600 --> 1:43:44.640 Like like if I wake up with an attitude and 1:43:44.760 --> 1:43:48.240 just be like yo, it's a problem, like don't play, 1:43:48.360 --> 1:43:51.240 don't play with it. So it's like I don't know 1:43:51.439 --> 1:43:53.560 some other I'm trying to be a peaceful man. But 1:43:53.600 --> 1:43:57.280 at the same time, like just because I'm I'm calm, 1:43:57.400 --> 1:44:01.000 or because UM relate just or I believe you know, 1:44:02.479 --> 1:44:04.960 I never said I'm soft, and I never said I'm 1:44:04.960 --> 1:44:07.880 a pacifist. Respective don't get you know what I'm saying, 1:44:07.960 --> 1:44:10.439 So like, don't step on my toes. You know, I say, 1:44:10.560 --> 1:44:12.840 just stay in your lane and and and just leave 1:44:12.840 --> 1:44:15.200 me alone. I don't know you that, So that's that 1:44:15.360 --> 1:44:17.439 I'm not gonna dish him. I'm not gonna say nothing. 1:44:17.560 --> 1:44:21.680 I'm not gonna do it. Don't matter even when we 1:44:21.800 --> 1:44:23.759 was dead. If it wasn't for me, he'd got handled. 1:44:24.160 --> 1:44:26.479 Oh man, what's that though? I don't know? He said, 1:44:26.520 --> 1:44:29.200 I've been doing this since small six with call Mega 1:44:29.320 --> 1:44:31.680 on till and why man, get the hip hop guy. 1:44:38.320 --> 1:44:39.840 You know what I mean? I always thought you I 1:44:39.920 --> 1:44:41.720 was cool, but I just got to be for him 1:44:42.160 --> 1:44:44.560 and just Sunday just be doing some weird stuff. And 1:44:44.680 --> 1:44:47.320 you know that because you did business with him, So 1:44:47.439 --> 1:44:48.880 you know what I'm saying. And Yo, let me tell 1:44:48.880 --> 1:44:51.599 you something, man, he just got it. He got too many. 1:44:51.760 --> 1:44:53.680 Ye let me tell you something. When he first came 1:44:53.720 --> 1:44:55.800 on from jail. You know, he one of the first things. 1:44:55.880 --> 1:44:58.800 First one he came from jail, I bought him clothes 1:44:58.840 --> 1:45:02.040 and everything, game clothes. Then I sent him to my 1:45:02.120 --> 1:45:04.120 man's store because I deal with a lot of boutiques 1:45:04.160 --> 1:45:07.320 and stuff like that, you know, doing my little collaboration stuff. 1:45:07.439 --> 1:45:09.080 I sent to my man store. They plugged them with 1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:12.000 clothes and stuff. Right, showed him love. He's like, Yo, 1:45:13.040 --> 1:45:14.560 why you went to see he was? He told me 1:45:14.640 --> 1:45:16.080 he was mad because I want to see property and 1:45:16.120 --> 1:45:18.720 I ain't gonna see him. That's the problem. That's a 1:45:18.840 --> 1:45:21.200 problem in itself. Why are you worried about what two 1:45:21.320 --> 1:45:25.120 other men do? That's for one and for two dogs. 1:45:25.680 --> 1:45:27.519 I went up state. I went up state before two. 1:45:27.520 --> 1:45:30.120 You didn't come see me at all. It's like, so, 1:45:30.479 --> 1:45:31.840 you know what I'm saying. So, but I didn't have 1:45:31.960 --> 1:45:33.960 no beef for him. Then I just looked at him 1:45:34.000 --> 1:45:36.000 like like I won't even know if he had come 1:45:36.000 --> 1:45:37.320 to see me, you know what saying. So it's like, 1:45:38.160 --> 1:45:39.680 I'm not on that, you know I'm saying, like, Yo, 1:45:39.760 --> 1:45:41.640 I'm cool with everybody. You know what I'm saying. He 1:45:42.560 --> 1:45:44.640 that was a test for me because you know what 1:45:44.720 --> 1:45:47.000 the old Mega would it did. And at the same time, 1:45:47.280 --> 1:45:48.840 I don't know what the hell is wrong with him, 1:45:48.840 --> 1:45:50.280 and I'm not trying to figure it out. He's on 1:45:50.360 --> 1:45:53.320 a destructive pass. So I don't even have to think 1:45:53.320 --> 1:45:55.880 about what month is this July. I don't even got 1:45:55.960 --> 1:45:58.479 to think about him, like like, let him just last 1:45:58.520 --> 1:46:01.200 a year, Like you know what I'm saying, God bless. 1:46:01.360 --> 1:46:03.160 I believe he's locked up, you know what I mean? 1:46:03.360 --> 1:46:05.519 See what I mean? Yeah, I believe he's locked up. 1:46:05.520 --> 1:46:07.880 You know trash. You know we love you out there. 1:46:07.960 --> 1:46:11.840 You know, um it is what it is?

I got 1:47:00.040 --> 1:47:04.320 some books coming out, not all books, not not not 1:47:05.000 --> 1:47:08.880 throw nobody into the bus or disrespect nobody books, totally different. 1:47:09.479 --> 1:47:12.760 I'm it's gonna surprise everybody. I got that coming out. 1:47:12.920 --> 1:47:16.160 I'm trying to do as much close collaborations as possible. 1:47:16.760 --> 1:47:19.439 I'm I'm gonna try to sneak into some like movie stuff, 1:47:20.280 --> 1:47:24.120 and I'm gonna start really um, when you say movie stuff, 1:47:24.160 --> 1:47:30.040 you're saying your own movies or both yea. And most 1:47:30.320 --> 1:47:32.680 most most importantly, I'm gonna start putting some of my 1:47:32.800 --> 1:47:35.920 effort and energy into other artists because there's a lot 1:47:36.000 --> 1:47:37.720 of young artists that come to me for advice. There's 1:47:37.760 --> 1:47:39.280 a lot of older artists that come to me for advice. 1:47:39.479 --> 1:47:42.080 But I'm gonna start really like making the business because 1:47:42.120 --> 1:47:44.280 there's things that I give people for free that other 1:47:44.320 --> 1:47:47.720 people charge for. As far as advice, I do a 1:47:47.800 --> 1:47:50.679 lot of consulting. I do. I put people in situations 1:47:50.720 --> 1:47:53.120 where they get deals. Like I've done it, but I 1:47:53.240 --> 1:47:54.960 do it. I do it because I like to see 1:47:54.960 --> 1:47:58.080 my people eat too. But at the same time, there's 1:47:58.120 --> 1:47:59.519 people that I could do that. There's a lot of 1:47:59.600 --> 1:48:04.080 value exactly exactly looking for artists, this is an excellent question. 1:48:04.800 --> 1:48:07.800 If you're looking for artists, you're looking at what I'm saying. 1:48:07.920 --> 1:48:11.040 If you are you looking for the sound that you 1:48:11.200 --> 1:48:16.800 came from or like again, like today, all the new 1:48:16.920 --> 1:48:19.800 artists that perform I forgot the girl name. I think, 1:48:20.240 --> 1:48:25.639 oh she right there. That was a Dutch fatacist. I think, 1:48:26.000 --> 1:48:27.519 like all the new artists, like you know what the 1:48:27.600 --> 1:48:31.400 people you know last of your lections. But when she 1:48:31.600 --> 1:48:34.000 came on, that was the sound that I was looking for. 1:48:34.200 --> 1:48:36.040 Like I just sat back, I was like, that's hard, 1:48:36.880 --> 1:48:39.160 you know what I'm saying, Like, but it's not. It's 1:48:39.160 --> 1:48:42.720 not the sound that I came up to. Are when 1:48:42.760 --> 1:48:44.759 you look for artists, are you're looking for the new sound, 1:48:45.040 --> 1:48:47.680 you're looking for the old sound, or you're looking for 1:48:47.760 --> 1:48:52.800 just what's hot. First of all, hot people that look 1:48:52.880 --> 1:48:55.560 for how I always fail. Right for every label that 1:48:55.640 --> 1:48:58.960 signed a hot artists, show me ten labels that signed 1:48:59.040 --> 1:49:02.200 how artists. I would show you ten labels that's probably 1:49:02.280 --> 1:49:04.719 funked up those artists careers or failed with those artists. 1:49:05.000 --> 1:49:10.040 Because in life, anything that is hot cools off. So 1:49:11.200 --> 1:49:13.000 when I when I when I when I see an 1:49:13.080 --> 1:49:16.280 artist or somebody that catches my attention, it's not even 1:49:16.439 --> 1:49:21.080 just skill because I'm looking for skill if it's for 1:49:21.160 --> 1:49:23.760 my personal appreciation, like if I want to listen to something, 1:49:24.000 --> 1:49:26.040 But as an artist, it has to be a total 1:49:26.120 --> 1:49:31.200 package because peak skill can be boring at times. You 1:49:31.240 --> 1:49:33.160 could be you could say some of the doper ship ever, 1:49:33.240 --> 1:49:36.960 but be boring. So as an artist, you have to 1:49:37.080 --> 1:49:39.880 have a package. You have to have a pill. As 1:49:39.920 --> 1:49:43.040 a person, you have to have character, you have to 1:49:43.120 --> 1:49:46.360 have skill, and then you have to have marketability. How 1:49:46.520 --> 1:49:49.200 marketable is this person. That's because at the end of 1:49:49.240 --> 1:49:51.920 the day, we don't sign people for glory. We signed 1:49:51.960 --> 1:49:54.560 up for a business, so I'm gonna invest in you. 1:49:55.160 --> 1:49:58.280 So I have to get my investment back. So the 1:49:58.360 --> 1:50:00.840 first artist I ever saw was Nya. I had had 1:50:00.840 --> 1:50:03.760 a Puerto Rican rapper named Danya. She was on my 1:50:03.880 --> 1:50:08.120 Leagals album. But I had a buzzing crazy she she's 1:50:08.120 --> 1:50:10.880 about to come back. I'm s had a buzzing so crazy, 1:50:11.479 --> 1:50:14.760 like big Big Labels was calling me about her. But 1:50:15.840 --> 1:50:19.640 um then, um, she had a couple of babies and 1:50:19.680 --> 1:50:21.080 she you know, she started doing her own thing. So 1:50:21.080 --> 1:50:23.040 I let her do her own thing. But when you know, 1:50:23.120 --> 1:50:25.400 I'm the type person when you're ready, will work. But 1:50:25.920 --> 1:50:29.400 I know I know how to market artists. And when 1:50:29.439 --> 1:50:32.880 I when you work with an artist, when you're a rapper, 1:50:33.640 --> 1:50:36.599 you can't wear both hats. Sometimes you have to take off. 1:50:36.960 --> 1:50:38.840 You take off your rapper hat when you're dealing with 1:50:38.960 --> 1:50:41.759 your artists, Like you want your artists to be bigger 1:50:41.800 --> 1:50:44.320 than you, unless you just wanted, unless you want to 1:50:44.360 --> 1:50:47.160 stagnate yourself, like I told her, you're gonna be bigger 1:50:47.200 --> 1:50:49.680 than me. Y'allda YadA yalla. So when I when I 1:50:49.720 --> 1:50:52.000 see an artist, if the artists don't, I don't care 1:50:52.040 --> 1:50:54.679 how dope they are, but I want the whole package, 1:50:54.760 --> 1:50:57.840 Like how how how much of impacting this artists have 1:50:57.960 --> 1:51:00.800 or how marketable is this artist? Like if you marketable 1:51:01.160 --> 1:51:03.639 and you dope, and that's an investment, but if you're 1:51:03.680 --> 1:51:06.080 just dope, that might just be a that's just good 1:51:06.120 --> 1:51:08.320 just for the neighborhood. I'm trying to do the world. 1:51:09.000 --> 1:51:12.439 But um, it feels like the Aposta in Corey, I 1:51:12.520 --> 1:51:14.360 want you in on this because it feels like the 1:51:14.400 --> 1:51:18.240 atmosphere has changed right now. All the latest artists they 1:51:18.280 --> 1:51:23.200 have different color hair, ships changed a lot they have 1:51:23.520 --> 1:51:29.000 like you know, yeah, it's it's type persons like vers 1:51:30.479 --> 1:51:34.000 Is that's something you either y'all ever get out Corey, 1:51:34.160 --> 1:51:35.559 Like you know, you've been in the game so long 1:51:35.600 --> 1:51:37.120 you can have an artist, you know what I'm saying. 1:51:37.600 --> 1:51:40.640 So is that something like because at the end of 1:51:40.680 --> 1:51:42.840 the day, I don't care how you look, I don't 1:51:42.880 --> 1:51:46.639 care what your whatever, your preferences. If you make dope music, 1:51:47.040 --> 1:51:50.560 I'm in dope music. And that's what this generation is 1:51:50.640 --> 1:51:53.920 leaning towards. Is that anything you would ever get with, like, 1:51:54.000 --> 1:51:58.880 you know, just person with different color hair and you know, 1:51:59.000 --> 1:52:02.360 just different people, Like it's not about a girl. You're 1:52:02.360 --> 1:52:06.000 talking about girl if it's a girl with different color here, yeah, 1:52:09.680 --> 1:52:13.280 right now. The hot people that's dudes have like this 1:52:13.400 --> 1:52:16.320 ship Yeah yeah, this is like a couple of them. 1:52:16.520 --> 1:52:18.640 Let me tell you what hot doesn't mean nothing A 1:52:18.800 --> 1:52:23.160 right look at me, for I'm a perfect example. If 1:52:23.200 --> 1:52:24.920 you look at old artists that was hot while I 1:52:25.000 --> 1:52:27.040 was on the shelf, and you know what I'm saying, 1:52:27.080 --> 1:52:28.720 they was doing their numbers and I was felling, like 1:52:29.120 --> 1:52:31.120 my life, I'm out just go bump again. You know 1:52:31.240 --> 1:52:34.320 the hustle again. Way they are right there where I'm 1:52:34.320 --> 1:52:37.720 at right now. They can't even get a show. I 1:52:37.840 --> 1:52:39.559 know all that that was hot that can't even get 1:52:39.560 --> 1:52:44.120 an indie deal. So it's like hot hot doesn't pay 1:52:44.160 --> 1:52:48.920 the rent yo, consistency and you have to you have 1:52:49.040 --> 1:52:51.400 to know what your market is. It's like yo, like 1:52:51.520 --> 1:52:53.599 back in the day to do that self. We ain't 1:52:53.600 --> 1:52:56.760 gonna go to a crack house. So it's like you 1:52:56.880 --> 1:52:59.760 gotta know who you're selling your material to. You have 1:52:59.880 --> 1:53:03.120 to go between a career and a moment. Exactly. A 1:53:03.200 --> 1:53:06.800 lot of dudes have moments. I don't, but a moment, 1:53:06.960 --> 1:53:09.040 it's only a moment. A moment is not going to 1:53:09.160 --> 1:53:11.679 carry you. So you know what I'm saying, certain audiences, 1:53:11.800 --> 1:53:15.040 we talk about career exactly. Career career, you over, that's 1:53:15.040 --> 1:53:16.840 what makes you a llegen. When you over ten years, 1:53:17.320 --> 1:53:19.200 you're getting money. Like I tell rappers a lot of 1:53:19.479 --> 1:53:21.599 no no. Case Slate tell rappers a lot of time. 1:53:21.680 --> 1:53:23.760 I'll listen to Case Slate show and he'd be like, 1:53:24.080 --> 1:53:26.840 if you ain't paying your bills to your ship, then 1:53:26.960 --> 1:53:31.080 it's not a fucking jrawball career. That's real. That's true. 1:53:31.240 --> 1:53:35.960 Case Slave is an unstung hero because Kase Slave is 1:53:36.000 --> 1:53:38.920 one of the dudes that give the voiceless a voice, 1:53:39.280 --> 1:53:40.920 because there's a lot of people that can't get on 1:53:40.960 --> 1:53:43.639 the radio at all. Or you know what I'm saying, 1:53:44.000 --> 1:53:49.040 Big Oka Slave speak to Case Slaying two months and 1:53:49.080 --> 1:53:51.360 he still plays my record.

But whatever record we blast out, 1:54:00.200 --> 1:54:03.840 he immediately plays it. Kase Slate, thank you so much. 1:54:03.920 --> 1:54:06.320 Man was in wild style, Man, come on, he was. 1:54:07.320 --> 1:54:11.840 Kay Slave still got the same glasses, right glass, Let 1:54:11.880 --> 1:54:14.200 me say something about Kate.

You might have DJs wanting to be better 1:54:24.800 --> 1:54:30.880 or out out. Listen to this. Kase Slate is a legend. 1:54:31.760 --> 1:54:38.480 It didn't pass your surrey.

Day his graffiti or his legendary legendar, 1:55:36.920 --> 1:55:38.680 so he could have just been a legend off of that, 1:55:39.680 --> 1:55:42.560 and he's a legend in this so he's he's the 1:55:42.600 --> 1:55:44.600 only person I know that's a legend in two fields, 1:55:44.880 --> 1:55:47.680 our whole culture.

A year ago, 1:56:55.680 --> 1:56:58.280 there was no Drink Chaps, and you should be glad 1:56:58.320 --> 1:57:01.640 that it's a fucking drink Drink Chap. As he progresses, 1:57:01.960 --> 1:57:04.960 he will improve. He's learning on the job. But at 1:57:05.000 --> 1:57:07.080 the same time he's giving you the number one fucking 1:57:07.120 --> 1:57:14.120 podcast and I ain't gonna in my mind, I was 1:57:14.280 --> 1:57:17.240 Olden money because that was like I paid him back, like, 1:57:17.680 --> 1:57:20.240 oh no, he held me money because that was that's 1:57:20.240 --> 1:57:23.280 feature is so crazy, man, Thank you so much.

Like one of the 1:57:32.040 --> 1:57:36.360 first gangsters I was introduced to was late and Cormega 1:57:36.640 --> 1:57:40.640 and Queen's Bridge and they said he rapped, but he 1:57:40.760 --> 1:57:43.040 was a gangster, and I was like eleven years old, 1:57:43.160 --> 1:57:44.440 like you know what I'm saying. So I was like, 1:57:45.000 --> 1:57:47.040 you know what I mean to just see you because 1:57:47.040 --> 1:57:50.800 the thing about this life is life. I am about 1:57:50.840 --> 1:57:54.960 to say rap or music, but life is a marathon, 1:57:55.240 --> 1:57:58.800 no doubt, so it doesn't matter how hard you catch on. 1:57:59.160 --> 1:58:01.760 She's the one thing I love about DJ Envy is 1:58:01.800 --> 1:58:04.520 when he until he kept saying, you're you charge me Nori, 1:58:05.000 --> 1:58:07.640 and then but you gotta realize what he said after that, 1:58:08.240 --> 1:58:10.000 as I said, I don't know how long I would 1:58:10.000 --> 1:58:14.040 be hot, and every hustle I ever had, I was 1:58:14.120 --> 1:58:16.440 hot for a second if I move on, So I'm 1:58:16.440 --> 1:58:19.800 always scared. So I do something and then I move 1:58:19.880 --> 1:58:23.240 on and I move on. So that's why I got 1:58:23.320 --> 1:58:25.640 like seven lives and this ship. People don't realize that 1:58:25.680 --> 1:58:31.040 I was Spanish on these niggas as well. Turn Spanish like, 1:58:31.560 --> 1:58:33.920 I'll do what I gotta do, do what I gotta do. 1:58:34.920 --> 1:58:37.480 Because I've never borrowed money. I don't know what that 1:58:37.520 --> 1:58:40.040 feels like to, you know, but but I gotta say something. 1:58:40.120 --> 1:58:42.320 Has half of the drink Champs as well, Yes, because 1:58:42.400 --> 1:58:44.680 because I feel like and listen, I always knew no, 1:58:44.800 --> 1:58:47.120 it was great for this. That's why we pushed for 1:58:47.160 --> 1:58:51.880 this to happen. But I represent the DJ that that's 1:58:52.040 --> 1:58:54.880 always been in the background, that's always worked up wrapper 1:58:54.960 --> 1:58:57.880 in the DJA new Ever being around here, I always 1:58:57.920 --> 1:59:00.200 sat right d like for first, you know, there's a 1:59:00.240 --> 1:59:03.160 lot of celebrity DJs out there, but there's thousands of 1:59:03.240 --> 1:59:06.000 DJs across the country and across the world that have 1:59:06.120 --> 1:59:10.000 helped build careers for artists. You know, I'm a mixtape DJ. 1:59:10.160 --> 1:59:12.480 There's mix show DJs and and we didn't have voices. 1:59:12.520 --> 1:59:15.000 You know, we weren't celebrity djun Harold did. Yeah, we 1:59:15.080 --> 1:59:17.000 did our work and then that's what I feel my 1:59:17.200 --> 1:59:19.200 role in this is, you know, we built this together. 1:59:19.320 --> 1:59:21.640 But I always knew that he had the talent for this, 1:59:21.920 --> 1:59:24.120 like this is this is this is natural for no 1:59:24.720 --> 1:59:27.280 But I said that to somebody about Norio so I 1:59:27.400 --> 1:59:31.080 said recently, I said, um, because you know what sun 1:59:31.200 --> 1:59:34.600 happens in our genre, everybody copies. I was like, this 1:59:34.800 --> 1:59:37.280 is one thing people better not try to copy because 1:59:37.560 --> 1:59:41.360 already but they're gonna fail. And you know why he's 1:59:41.400 --> 1:59:43.920 even beating out some of the other podcasts. You gotta 1:59:43.920 --> 1:59:47.760 they gotta understand one. Two things. For one, he's a rapper, 1:59:48.440 --> 1:59:50.840 so he got a different kind of relationships in history 1:59:50.920 --> 1:59:56.680 with people. Right, he's very small to one of the 1:59:56.760 --> 2:00:00.560 things that Nory has always had about him that carried 2:00:00.680 --> 2:00:06.080 him even more than than skill, he got personality. Hum So, 2:00:06.360 --> 2:00:10.800 as we said earlier, skill isn't always it. He has personality. 2:00:11.400 --> 2:00:15.000 There's not no blocker that has his personality. So some 2:00:15.160 --> 2:00:17.560 of them is doing this. Some some people want to 2:00:17.600 --> 2:00:20.600 be stars. They're doing this to be stars. He's already 2:00:20.640 --> 2:00:24.000 a star, so he has a personality and he's likable. 2:00:24.360 --> 2:00:26.800 You can't match that absolute. I'm gonna just try. He 2:00:26.920 --> 2:00:28.839 never take it, but I'm gonna try. I'm just passing 2:00:28.880 --> 2:00:30.880 the blood. Just tell me you did har arily. It 2:00:30.920 --> 2:00:34.000 makes me feel It makes me feel better. It makes 2:00:34.080 --> 2:00:38.840 me feel better. But you know the thing about what 2:00:39.000 --> 2:00:41.000 I what I want to explain to people when when 2:00:41.040 --> 2:00:44.440 people break down the journalist, like although I did take 2:00:44.880 --> 2:00:47.400 journalists classes, but I never want to be a journalist. 2:00:47.680 --> 2:00:49.960 You know why journalist? That's a secret? Did take it? 2:00:50.040 --> 2:00:52.200 It wasn't. It'sn't jail. I'm sorry. I don't want to 2:00:52.200 --> 2:00:54.360 go there. I want to go there, but I just 2:00:54.400 --> 2:00:56.440 want to tell you, like when you when you did 2:00:56.480 --> 2:00:59.840 with a journalist, a journalist will never funk with you, 2:01:00.920 --> 2:01:03.320 because what I mean is they'll that when they do 2:01:03.400 --> 2:01:07.680 the interview with you, they'll get you. They'll they'll promote 2:01:07.720 --> 2:01:12.080 you that week, they'll be retweeting everything you're doing. They're 2:01:12.120 --> 2:01:14.680 doing that, but then guess what after that week is 2:01:14.760 --> 2:01:20.040 over your number and their number is a rat because 2:01:20.080 --> 2:01:24.160 the journalists could never be friends with an artist because 2:01:24.440 --> 2:01:27.600 when it comes time to shoot on you, they can't 2:01:27.640 --> 2:01:31.760 be close to you. You understand what I'm saying. So 2:01:31.920 --> 2:01:34.480 that's the reason why I mean and I'm I'm this 2:01:34.640 --> 2:01:37.400 is a science. I'm breaking out. I believe in science, 2:01:39.000 --> 2:01:43.760 and in science, no journalist, like there's very few journalists 2:01:43.920 --> 2:01:46.800 that you can be close to, Like a Rob Marksman. 2:01:47.560 --> 2:01:49.600 That's a guy we need to step back and sir 2:01:49.760 --> 2:01:53.720 lope because that guy is about real hip hop and 2:01:53.800 --> 2:01:59.240 if people report something that is, he's gonna stand by Payne. 2:02:02.920 --> 2:02:06.960 There's a lot of real journalists out there, journalistic integrity, 2:02:07.680 --> 2:02:10.120 but we know we don't have to. That's not my man. 2:02:10.320 --> 2:02:19.080 Doggy Diamonds, Doggie Diamonds the Street, but that's and he 2:02:19.160 --> 2:02:21.880 got a great podcast out there called No Filter. Pick 2:02:22.000 --> 2:02:25.000 that up. But besides that, some people don't know what 2:02:25.120 --> 2:02:27.200 they do to say, Like Doggie Diamonds, I sit on 2:02:27.320 --> 2:02:29.920 this phone with this nigga, I speak hip hop for 2:02:30.040 --> 2:02:32.440 two hours and I realized, Yo, I gotta get off. 2:02:32.720 --> 2:02:34.640 I gotta eat, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, 2:02:35.000 --> 2:02:39.120 there's many spear hip hop. These people don't care about 2:02:40.240 --> 2:02:43.160 that journalist. Oh, let me get hot and get some clicks. 2:02:43.440 --> 2:02:46.400 Those are the people I respect, right there, those people, 2:02:46.520 --> 2:02:49.640 the rob marks and the doggy diamonds. Is because it's 2:02:49.680 --> 2:02:53.440 about their integrity as opposed and just just just think 2:02:53.480 --> 2:02:56.560 about it. I've been, I've been in this game. I'll 2:02:56.600 --> 2:03:02.920 be twenty years at uh two was seventeen, okay, right? 2:03:04.200 --> 2:03:06.920 A journalist ain't never really trying to be your friend. 2:03:07.400 --> 2:03:10.480 And they make it clear they'll give you their email. 2:03:10.560 --> 2:03:14.560 They don't give you their phone number because phone numbers personal. 2:03:15.400 --> 2:03:17.440 So if you gotta do this phone number, still, watch 2:03:17.520 --> 2:03:21.320 out because there's twenty and sixteen. It's very different. They're 2:03:21.360 --> 2:03:22.960 just trying to get you to come and because they're 2:03:22.960 --> 2:03:25.520 trying to get ratings. But after that week it is over, 2:03:25.680 --> 2:03:28.400 after that day is over, they go right back because 2:03:28.440 --> 2:03:30.520 you know why, they might have to shoot on you. 2:03:30.640 --> 2:03:35.080 If your baby mother falls a lawsuit against you, they 2:03:35.200 --> 2:03:38.720 might have to. You know, this is what it is. 2:03:38.880 --> 2:03:43.320 We're here, We're not journalists, we're motherfucking your friends. And 2:03:43.400 --> 2:03:46.240 this is why when people say I'm cutting some guests off, 2:03:46.360 --> 2:03:49.160 some guests don't, I mean, some people don't understand that 2:03:49.440 --> 2:03:52.200 I know these fuckers. And when they're about to say 2:03:52.400 --> 2:03:54.440 they're about to shoot on one of my other friends. 2:03:54.480 --> 2:03:59.240 I'm saying, hey, well, because that's not what this is for. 2:03:59.400 --> 2:04:00.800 I don't want to they gonna come on here and 2:04:00.840 --> 2:04:03.880 shoot on nobody. Like when I asked you questions about NASA, 2:04:04.000 --> 2:04:06.120 the Firm, or even Steve Style, I didn't want to 2:04:06.200 --> 2:04:08.360 diss them. I didn't want to put them out there 2:04:08.560 --> 2:04:10.600 because it was NASA is my nigga. I got love 2:04:10.680 --> 2:04:12.600 of Steve Style. I haven't seen him in a long time. 2:04:12.680 --> 2:04:15.120 But what I'm saying is people don't need to understand 2:04:15.160 --> 2:04:18.160 these stories because these stories are history. This is not 2:04:18.280 --> 2:04:21.640 something that we're making up. This is something that should 2:04:21.680 --> 2:04:24.360 be enforced, not because we're trying to put people out there, 2:04:24.440 --> 2:04:28.280 because other people can avoid these steps in their career. 2:04:29.360 --> 2:04:32.040 A guy came out to me earlier. We're sitting out there, 2:04:32.080 --> 2:04:34.320 I'm about to watch you perform. I told him immediately. 2:04:34.720 --> 2:04:37.080 He said to me, I said, my man, I got 2:04:37.160 --> 2:04:41.000 to watch my nigga perform. Elliott Wilson trained again, but 2:04:41.160 --> 2:04:42.880 he said to me, I said, I gotta watch my 2:04:43.000 --> 2:04:48.480 man performing in And he said to me, are you 2:04:48.600 --> 2:04:53.840 accepting are you accepting new artists on your platform, and 2:04:53.960 --> 2:04:57.480 I said no, not because I was trying to be disrespectful. 2:04:57.880 --> 2:05:00.960 But you got these other places. You got the hot 2:05:01.080 --> 2:05:04.120 nineties sevens, you got the Power one oh five, you 2:05:04.240 --> 2:05:07.760 got the fucking you know what I'm saying. I don't 2:05:07.800 --> 2:05:10.840 know these other people. You got these, But I want 2:05:10.880 --> 2:05:14.040 to I want to cater to the fucking legends. I 2:05:14.120 --> 2:05:16.560 want to care to niggas I know about. I want 2:05:16.600 --> 2:05:18.880 to care to questions I know. I don't google shit. 2:05:20.400 --> 2:05:24.560 I want to respect people that I respect. There's a difference, 2:05:25.040 --> 2:05:29.080 don't There's a difference a Q and A. You know 2:05:29.280 --> 2:05:30.880 that you want to press run and you go and 2:05:30.920 --> 2:05:33.440 you do your Q and A. We don't to promote 2:05:33.480 --> 2:05:36.720 your ship. What we're trying to build here is conversations 2:05:36.720 --> 2:05:41.840 amongst colleagues, and that's and you know, authenticity amongst that, 2:05:42.040 --> 2:05:44.000 Like colleagues are just talking with each other, and the 2:05:44.120 --> 2:05:46.200 fan and the listener is a fly on the wall 2:05:46.200 --> 2:05:48.480 and they're hearing something that they obviously they wouldn't have 2:05:48.560 --> 2:05:51.040 heard otherwise. And that's what we're trying to build here. 2:05:51.640 --> 2:05:56.520 Definitely doing some different for the game and and and yeah, 2:05:56.600 --> 2:06:00.440 definitely yeah, changing it and turning it up. Like I said, 2:06:00.480 --> 2:06:03.440 I was. I've been a fan first, Like before I 2:06:03.560 --> 2:06:06.960 even we we got our own personal relationships. I grew 2:06:07.040 --> 2:06:09.280 up listening to Noor. You know what I'm saying. We 2:06:09.360 --> 2:06:12.480 got our own personal relationships outside of that. But I 2:06:12.600 --> 2:06:15.960 watch all of your interviews man, like that's why I'm 2:06:16.000 --> 2:06:19.880 like down and chopping up with y'all. Thank you for 2:06:20.280 --> 2:06:23.400 I appreciate it, man, y'all definitely both y'all, thank you 2:06:23.520 --> 2:06:25.320 very And the thing they're doing, you know, how to 2:06:25.400 --> 2:06:27.760 drink Champs on me is so crazy because they've been 2:06:27.840 --> 2:06:30.640 hitting us for a week because because you've been promoting 2:06:30.720 --> 2:06:33.760 it that you've been out here. Yeah, they've been. They've 2:06:33.760 --> 2:06:36.040 been telling y'all like, yo, you know, they lyned y'all up, 2:06:36.120 --> 2:06:37.920 Like I'm gonna let y'all know the drink Champs. I'm 2:06:37.960 --> 2:06:40.240 not lying, y'all up, but in the foul way. But 2:06:40.920 --> 2:06:43.280 as soon as y'all start promoting this show, like these 2:06:43.320 --> 2:06:46.600 people requested that y'all guys come on here, I've seen 2:06:46.640 --> 2:06:49.600 it all instance No, not listen, Mega, y'all listen shout 2:06:49.600 --> 2:06:54.000 out to the only man serious. But Mega, like, um, 2:06:55.080 --> 2:06:58.320 I can't leave here without truly acknowledging that you're a 2:06:58.440 --> 2:07:01.080 legend man, Because if you want to be humble and 2:07:01.120 --> 2:07:03.040 you don't want to say you're a legend, let me 2:07:03.120 --> 2:07:09.360 say it for you. I'll say ahead. I'm way more 2:07:09.480 --> 2:07:13.880 thankful and appreciative to my fans than I've ever been. Um, 2:07:14.120 --> 2:07:16.880 it's seven like you grew up. Like before we get 2:07:16.960 --> 2:07:18.800 up out of here. That night, I met you in 2:07:18.920 --> 2:07:21.400 Queen's Bridge. I've seen you in Queen's Bridge. We were 2:07:21.440 --> 2:07:24.720 out there. Wow, my nights in the morning. I've never 2:07:24.800 --> 2:07:27.200 seen you more at peace at that time, Like, yeah, 2:07:27.240 --> 2:07:29.720 we broke down, yeah, but it seemed like nothing like 2:07:29.840 --> 2:07:32.720 I remember something said like it was like a little drama, 2:07:32.800 --> 2:07:34.480 Like not not drama, you know what I mean, but 2:07:34.760 --> 2:07:36.680 like something that came up and then you were just 2:07:36.840 --> 2:07:39.520 so at peace. I've never seen you that much at peace. 2:07:40.560 --> 2:07:42.160 That because of the religion, because you did have the 2:07:42.240 --> 2:07:43.600 crown on. So in my mind I was like, this 2:07:43.680 --> 2:07:45.960 thing is a Muslim for it. It might be because 2:07:46.040 --> 2:07:48.240 of that. It might be because of that, but it's 2:07:48.280 --> 2:07:53.880 also because it's like, um, I think the older you get, 2:07:53.920 --> 2:07:55.480 you're supposed to get wise and if you don't get 2:07:55.520 --> 2:07:58.920 wise up as you get older than you're just aging. 2:07:59.280 --> 2:08:06.320 But so also um where power comes responsibility. So it's 2:08:06.360 --> 2:08:09.040 like this is not like, let's just have beef right now. 2:08:09.320 --> 2:08:11.640 The old like, if let's say we need the hood 2:08:11.640 --> 2:08:13.800 and I got beat, the old me would be like, yo, 2:08:14.200 --> 2:08:17.360 get that the new me if I really got beef 2:08:17.400 --> 2:08:19.720 with somebody. First of all, the average person that's in 2:08:19.760 --> 2:08:23.880 the street that's not a thinker. It is predictable. So 2:08:24.360 --> 2:08:26.720 I know, all I gotta do is know your habits 2:08:27.240 --> 2:08:29.000 and I'll get you. I could get you a year 2:08:29.080 --> 2:08:30.880 later because you're gonna stand in the same place. You 2:08:30.960 --> 2:08:32.960 don't gonna drink at the same place, You're gonna hang 2:08:33.040 --> 2:08:35.080 in the same circles. So I could wait a year 2:08:35.160 --> 2:08:37.480 or two and get you as opposed to just I'm 2:08:37.480 --> 2:08:40.360 getting them right now. So I'm wise up. So the 2:08:40.480 --> 2:08:42.520 wiser you get, the moment you get, but the more 2:08:42.600 --> 2:08:44.960 dangerous you get too. At the same time, but the 2:08:45.040 --> 2:08:49.880 reason I'm at pieces also, like I said, before I 2:08:50.000 --> 2:08:55.600 started win my life in my situations, like a lot 2:08:55.640 --> 2:08:57.280 of the beasts I got to on the street wasn't 2:08:57.280 --> 2:08:59.600 even my beef. I was like, damn, I had people 2:08:59.680 --> 2:09:02.200 this dude because I popped off for my for this dude, 2:09:02.240 --> 2:09:04.560 that's my man. And I had be with this dude. 2:09:05.000 --> 2:09:07.600 Because this dude happy for them, it's never really me. 2:09:08.080 --> 2:09:11.560 So now I started mounding my business like if somebody 2:09:11.760 --> 2:09:14.320 that that's cool with me, So I was like cool 2:09:14.400 --> 2:09:18.000 with me. I separated cool from my man just because 2:09:18.000 --> 2:09:20.320 you're cool to me and you're my man, you know 2:09:20.360 --> 2:09:23.040 what I'm saying. So it's like if you're I'm not 2:09:23.200 --> 2:09:25.520 jumping into everybody's beach. Because at the end of the day, 2:09:25.840 --> 2:09:28.840 when I was up North, like some of my rhyms 2:09:28.840 --> 2:09:32.320 ain't even rhymes, it's just testimony, I said on the 2:09:32.360 --> 2:09:34.880 Realness interest, I said when I was up north gaining 2:09:35.000 --> 2:09:38.400 weight but lacking friends, you know saying, I said, niggas 2:09:38.400 --> 2:09:40.200 act like they were sending me packages when I was 2:09:40.320 --> 2:09:45.600 up north gaining weight and lacking friends. Yo, don't take 2:09:45.680 --> 2:09:49.080 my word and ask any rap as Capone. Everybody would 2:09:49.080 --> 2:09:52.080 take this. Jay Rock said it in my documentary Mega 2:09:52.160 --> 2:09:54.720 brought the Flying Nte to the hood, Like I used 2:09:54.720 --> 2:09:58.440 to dress like an uptown nigga slash Brooklyn nigga. Like 2:09:58.840 --> 2:10:02.480 I had guccy sneakers when I was seventeen sixteen, sneakers plural, 2:10:02.640 --> 2:10:04.800 not prepare, Like you know what I'm saying, so it's 2:10:04.840 --> 2:10:08.880 like like, um, so it's like I'm a fly dude. 2:10:08.920 --> 2:10:10.680 Everybody knows that people that hate me will be like 2:10:10.760 --> 2:10:14.560 megas fly.

There's people in bass family that 2:10:36.920 --> 2:10:40.800 I haven't seen in years because I couldn't look at 2:10:40.880 --> 2:10:43.600 them after he died because it would hurt me so much. 2:10:44.400 --> 2:10:47.720 So like his sister, Loretta is my heart.

So I'm just now 2:10:59.720 --> 2:11:03.000 able to so not definitely not bad. But what I'm 2:11:03.040 --> 2:11:06.440 saying is they've been time when I've done things for 2:11:06.560 --> 2:11:09.640 people and they haven't done it for me. And you 2:11:09.760 --> 2:11:11.920 gotta wait that in your life, you're risking your free 2:11:12.040 --> 2:11:14.200 Like sometimes a dude might say, y'all done for you. 2:11:15.000 --> 2:11:17.800 They really full of ship, but but they really will 2:11:17.960 --> 2:11:20.120 die for you because they could just be standing next 2:11:20.120 --> 2:11:22.400 to you and catch a straight So it's like, why 2:11:22.400 --> 2:11:24.840 should I put myself on the line for duke Listen, 2:11:27.840 --> 2:11:29.840 don't jump in the river for somebody that won't step 2:11:29.880 --> 2:11:35.400 in the puddle for you dropping jewels right now? So 2:11:35.480 --> 2:11:37.400 it's like, that's why I'm Matt Peace. It's making a 2:11:37.480 --> 2:11:45.120 new caress one conscious gangster. Yeah, let's go back to that. 2:11:45.360 --> 2:11:48.160 So I mind my business more. That's why Matt Peach. So, oh, 2:11:48.240 --> 2:11:50.240 you know such and such got beef. I don't. I don't. 2:11:50.320 --> 2:11:52.480 I don't mean there's mad rumors and stuff going on 2:11:52.600 --> 2:11:54.880 that I don't even know about. I don't care about it. 2:11:54.960 --> 2:11:57.920 I don't care about Chikanda's Carrey got raided. You know 2:11:57.920 --> 2:12:00.480 what I'm saying. I don't care about that. I stay 2:12:00.480 --> 2:12:02.880 out of stuff, And that's how I stay out of beef. 2:12:03.000 --> 2:12:05.240 That's how I stay out of sweeps and indictments. Because 2:12:05.240 --> 2:12:09.600 there was points in like recent years when I used 2:12:09.640 --> 2:12:11.360 to be out there the time when niggas used to 2:12:11.360 --> 2:12:13.200 be like, oh, I know what Megan's doing. There's been 2:12:13.240 --> 2:12:15.760 time when people got caught for big crimes and it 2:12:15.880 --> 2:12:19.120 cops asking about me, like your mega using this wrap 2:12:19.200 --> 2:12:21.480 money to fund you guy to supply Like so I 2:12:21.560 --> 2:12:23.680 was like, I can't do that because niggas ain't putting 2:12:23.680 --> 2:12:26.120 any life on the line like that. For me. I 2:12:26.240 --> 2:12:27.960 met one person that looked me in my eyes and 2:12:28.000 --> 2:12:31.000 said I'll die for you, And it was a girl. 2:12:32.080 --> 2:12:34.840 I believe her more than I believe some dudes. But 2:12:34.920 --> 2:12:37.280 at the same time, you know what I'm saying, I'm loyal, 2:12:38.360 --> 2:12:40.720 but I'm not gonna be loyal to the point where 2:12:40.840 --> 2:12:45.280 it backfires on me. Did you ever think that like 2:12:47.280 --> 2:12:52.800 you were like too too real? Yeah, a lot of 2:12:52.880 --> 2:12:57.240 times like uh, and it's things that you could have 2:12:57.320 --> 2:13:01.440 did that polity would have from to a different light. 2:13:01.520 --> 2:13:06.760 You think that example, like certain things like doing the 2:13:06.840 --> 2:13:09.720 rad kids and meeting with people, because it was always 2:13:10.080 --> 2:13:12.280 kind of came off like MAGA was kind of like 2:13:12.360 --> 2:13:16.680 anti social, especially within the industry. I am kind of 2:13:16.680 --> 2:13:19.480 anti social. Door I'm not gonna one thing about me 2:13:19.560 --> 2:13:21.320 if you say something about me that I feel is true, 2:13:21.560 --> 2:13:24.480 I'm gonna say, yeah. The thing that a lot of 2:13:24.520 --> 2:13:29.120 people don't understand about me is this. First of all, 2:13:29.120 --> 2:13:30.360 a lot of people in the industry was scared me 2:13:30.360 --> 2:13:38.040 because my represation, and like, the lions don't hang with 2:13:38.120 --> 2:13:42.680 the diss. So it's like if they go to Brownsville, 2:13:42.680 --> 2:13:44.160 they go to Fork Green, they go to far Rock, 2:13:44.200 --> 2:13:46.360 and they go somewhere where where I used to be 2:13:46.480 --> 2:13:48.520 at and they see me with the goons, they're not 2:13:48.520 --> 2:13:49.920 gonna come over there and try to stand with me. 2:13:50.240 --> 2:13:52.480 So if I if I see you in the industry 2:13:52.680 --> 2:13:55.760 and I feel like you're not the same, we're not similar, 2:13:56.080 --> 2:13:58.200 I don't want to be your friend because, first of all, 2:13:58.200 --> 2:14:01.360 a lot of people entry your phony and and they 2:14:01.360 --> 2:14:03.720 don't share the same vision as our ship. So while 2:14:03.720 --> 2:14:05.880 I'm not out going, you know what I'm saying, But 2:14:06.200 --> 2:14:09.080 when I've seen Corey said he might showed him last, 2:14:09.520 --> 2:14:11.520 you know what I'm saying. Or ever since when I 2:14:11.640 --> 2:14:16.240 first met you, I remember, I remember niggas try to 2:14:16.320 --> 2:14:18.600 jump you, and I came, and I came and I 2:14:18.680 --> 2:14:21.760 jumped and iked Me and Ice were the first niggas 2:14:21.800 --> 2:14:23.520 over there. You know, I was the first nigg over there, 2:14:23.600 --> 2:14:29.640 and then what happened after that. No, forget what you say, nigga, 2:14:30.520 --> 2:14:34.720 niggas didn't. Niggas didn't do you dirty, So all that's 2:14:34.880 --> 2:14:38.000 relevant exactly. But I'm just saying like I was dead 2:14:38.600 --> 2:14:40.840 exactly and you wasn't even from our hut, right, So 2:14:40.960 --> 2:14:43.680 that just showed you how really you know what I'm saying, 2:14:44.240 --> 2:14:47.440 right So, No, No, that's real ship right there. That's 2:14:47.440 --> 2:14:49.200 spell ship right there. But just in case of people 2:14:49.240 --> 2:14:55.920 didn't know, niggas got shot right after that, that was 2:14:56.000 --> 2:14:59.800 Maga's nigga. You're listen, man, you gave us all I'm Maga. 2:15:00.840 --> 2:15:02.960 Oh man, it's just so great man. You know why, 2:15:03.600 --> 2:15:07.480 because this is for real hip hop ship. And what 2:15:07.600 --> 2:15:09.080 I mean by that, We've been getting a lot of 2:15:09.160 --> 2:15:12.120 big guests. We've been getting a lot of big guests, requests, 2:15:12.920 --> 2:15:16.760 and I always want to keep but me and he offended. No, 2:15:17.760 --> 2:15:19.680 he is what you said to me. You said, I 2:15:19.720 --> 2:15:24.720 always want to keep the essence of him, and this 2:15:24.920 --> 2:15:27.560 is the This is the essence of it right here 2:15:28.280 --> 2:15:32.040 is real m c S, real hood, niggas real like 2:15:32.160 --> 2:15:34.520 you know what I'm saying. Uh, it doesn't matter where 2:15:34.520 --> 2:15:37.200 you're from, because I think hip hop is is universal, 2:15:37.680 --> 2:15:39.400 so it doesn't matter that and this is the real 2:15:39.440 --> 2:15:42.120 life is I usually say that's a fact, Joe, like 2:15:42.280 --> 2:15:44.720 this is the real qub Queens and the Bronx. You 2:15:44.760 --> 2:15:46.520 know what I'm saying, because a lot of people don't 2:15:46.520 --> 2:15:48.920 know queens nigas get along with Bronx niggers, you know 2:15:48.960 --> 2:15:53.320 I'm saying. And Brooklyn niggers too as well. But um yeah, 2:15:53.440 --> 2:15:56.640 you know what I'm saying. So I actually, I actually 2:15:56.640 --> 2:16:01.320 I what's next to the accident? What's next? But I 2:16:01.360 --> 2:16:03.640 don't know. I don't want you to leave. I got 2:16:03.760 --> 2:16:10.120 I got you gotta go. You gotta ask one question though, 2:16:10.160 --> 2:16:12.280 before we go. I want to know the backstory on 2:16:12.400 --> 2:16:16.840 the reel because to me, that was no story, just 2:16:16.920 --> 2:16:18.720 the making of that record, like that was such a 2:16:18.760 --> 2:16:21.440 big record in the mixtape world. But I don't know. 2:16:21.520 --> 2:16:23.640 I can't even give you the backstory for that because, um, 2:16:24.560 --> 2:16:27.400 I think it's more history to that record than then 2:16:27.440 --> 2:16:31.680 I even know about. Because that was originally Karma Kaze's record, 2:16:31.680 --> 2:16:37.200 I believe, Yeah, that was Karma kazis recorded. And when 2:16:37.240 --> 2:16:38.880 I came home, I was just but Mally was like 2:16:38.879 --> 2:16:40.840 I can't put meg on there. Somehow another I ended 2:16:40.920 --> 2:16:42.880 up on there and they put it out, you know 2:16:42.920 --> 2:16:44.800 what I'm saying. But um, I don't know the full 2:16:44.920 --> 2:16:46.480 history behind I know it was I know it was 2:16:46.520 --> 2:16:50.000 a great look, and I know I wasn't used to 2:16:50.040 --> 2:16:52.920 being in the studio, Like just wrapping and rapping on 2:16:52.959 --> 2:16:54.879 the mike is two different things. Like I was used 2:16:54.879 --> 2:16:56.720 to wrapping in the yard because I was up north 2:16:56.760 --> 2:16:59.280 wrapping the yard like battling and all that. So I 2:16:59.440 --> 2:17:01.320 wasn't coming to in the studio when we did that 2:17:01.680 --> 2:17:04.400 at that time. So I remember that. But did you 2:17:04.480 --> 2:17:09.240 feel that that record changed? Like maybe your trajectory, your career, 2:17:09.480 --> 2:17:12.120 You're the way because I feel like, I mean, you 2:17:12.120 --> 2:17:14.880 shouldn't reach Miami, like I'm here getting these white labels 2:17:15.560 --> 2:17:19.120 from Beat Street Records and ship. I don't know, I 2:17:19.200 --> 2:17:21.400 don't everything. That's how I was introduced everything I did, 2:17:21.520 --> 2:17:23.760 what it was getting white label back then, So I 2:17:23.840 --> 2:17:27.600 don't know, like dead Man Walking was everything I did. 2:17:28.080 --> 2:17:30.680 Everything I did got You know, the Testament album was 2:17:30.720 --> 2:17:35.960 out on blooleg before it was even released, So that's 2:17:35.959 --> 2:17:37.720 how That's how else I knew that I had a 2:17:37.800 --> 2:17:39.720 market because I went to England before to do a 2:17:39.800 --> 2:17:42.720 show and they knew the word to song from Testament 2:17:42.840 --> 2:17:44.280 and that ship wasn't even out and I was like, 2:17:44.440 --> 2:17:46.560 this is weird, and I'm like, how do you get 2:17:46.560 --> 2:17:49.240 that ship?

But I believe I believe and 2:21:43.800 --> 2:21:48.200 it might sound it's drunk facts, it's if you if 2:21:48.240 --> 2:21:51.040 you listen, if you read every religions, like you know, 2:21:51.520 --> 2:21:56.240 there there their thing. They always describe the same person, 2:21:56.640 --> 2:21:58.920 but they describe them more in a different day. It's like, 2:21:59.080 --> 2:22:01.920 if you see Pop on Monday, Park might tell you, 2:22:02.640 --> 2:22:05.840 brend this's got a baby. Do you see Park on 2:22:05.959 --> 2:22:09.879 the next day? He said, you wonder why they call 2:22:09.920 --> 2:22:16.680 you bitch? And I believe every kid was talking about 2:22:16.760 --> 2:22:19.720 the same person, but they've seen them on a different day. 2:22:20.480 --> 2:22:22.400 That's what I believe. I'm sorry, So I believe in 2:22:22.800 --> 2:22:27.440 every religion. Like me, I'm every religion. I could relate 2:22:27.520 --> 2:22:32.680 to everybody. Whatever they say, I say, mmm, I remember that, 2:22:34.040 --> 2:22:36.760 but that's me. I'm gonna culture. Like if I was 2:22:36.800 --> 2:22:39.119 a tattoo guy, I would have a tattoo of every day, 2:22:40.320 --> 2:22:43.240 but I'm not. So is God God is God? God 2:22:43.360 --> 2:22:46.440 is God? God is God. Sometimes men men corrupt things, 2:22:46.520 --> 2:22:48.120 you know what I'm saying. And at the end of 2:22:48.160 --> 2:22:52.520 the day, Um, there's a high power and we all 2:22:52.720 --> 2:22:56.760 notedge that, you know, so you know that's right. So 2:22:56.840 --> 2:22:58.680 we're gonna say eight men O, We're gonna say make 2:22:58.760 --> 2:23:03.760 some noise. I don't know hip hop flat all right, 2:23:05.400 --> 2:23:13.800 hippop flat, Let's get up ut it. Welcome to play, 2:23:14.080 --> 2:23:20.039 a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, 2:23:20.160 --> 2:23:24.560 and more. Play it at play dot It. We're back 2:23:24.680 --> 2:23:28.000 to Drink Champs Radio with Rapper and R and d 2:23:28.160 --> 2:23:36.200 j E. Then all right, mega cord guns. What I've 2:23:36.200 --> 2:23:40.440 been saying is and I've never ever compared hip hop 2:23:41.280 --> 2:23:45.400 plight our struggle compared to to gay people at all right, 2:23:46.000 --> 2:23:49.920 but I respect gay people like I got made whatever. 2:23:50.160 --> 2:23:52.320 I don't know where this is going, but look what 2:23:52.440 --> 2:23:55.160 I'm saying is my favorite hotel in the Hawaii world 2:23:55.760 --> 2:23:58.440 is a W hotel. No matter what W hotel I 2:23:58.600 --> 2:24:01.480 go to, is a game. I got there cool, no 2:24:01.640 --> 2:24:05.039 problem has no doesn't offend me. Like I said, I'd 2:24:05.040 --> 2:24:07.720 be down there taking shots with them like all good, 2:24:07.840 --> 2:24:12.920 Like my family doesn't matter. But in my mind, and 2:24:12.959 --> 2:24:17.199 I'm not comparing hip hops plight towards but in my mind, 2:24:18.000 --> 2:24:20.000 I thought that was a dope idead. But when I 2:24:20.040 --> 2:24:22.000 think it's a dope idea. I think it's a dope idead. 2:24:22.080 --> 2:24:24.280 When I go to a restaurant or I go to 2:24:24.800 --> 2:24:31.280 something hotel, or or playing soccer or you know, I 2:24:31.320 --> 2:24:34.360 said soccer, what I meant bowling bowling, Like when I 2:24:34.440 --> 2:24:36.600 go bowling. Let's what happens if it's a hip hop 2:24:36.720 --> 2:24:39.600 flag there, so they know because I've been to a 2:24:39.680 --> 2:24:42.560 restaurant before when I jumped out the car, I didn't 2:24:42.560 --> 2:24:46.360 smoke weed at the restaurant and they told me you 2:24:46.520 --> 2:24:50.120 smelled it too bad and they told me to go. 2:24:50.520 --> 2:24:52.560 One time I was in the airport, I swear to God, 2:24:52.600 --> 2:24:55.280 you could ask six this message. I mean this, this 2:24:55.480 --> 2:24:58.760 this ship we walked to the airport. Who was who 2:24:58.840 --> 2:25:01.400 was born to play? Ain't the nigga said you can't 2:25:01.480 --> 2:25:05.160 smoke here? I said, what the fuck? You know? I 2:25:05.240 --> 2:25:09.080 didn't like I look like I smoked like like maybe 2:25:09.120 --> 2:25:11.600 I do. But that's at the point that was prejudice. 2:25:11.840 --> 2:25:16.080 So what I'm saying is if there was a stereotypes 2:25:16.120 --> 2:25:20.640 something that says you're welcome flag like life, and I'm 2:25:20.680 --> 2:25:23.560 not comparing all because you know, I'm not comparing hip 2:25:23.600 --> 2:25:26.480 hop to the gay struggle because you know, respect to 2:25:26.680 --> 2:25:29.240 respect to both sides. But what I'm saying is that 2:25:29.440 --> 2:25:32.040 was a great way to me. Like when I've seen that, 2:25:32.160 --> 2:25:35.520 it was like, you know, like you're welcome here. So 2:25:35.680 --> 2:25:39.800 let's suppose I go to I want to go bowling. 2:25:40.280 --> 2:25:43.360 I'm never bold in my life. I really want to 2:25:43.360 --> 2:25:45.520 go bowling. Now I want to go bolden. I want 2:25:45.520 --> 2:25:50.040 to put the funny shoes on. Right now, I go bowling. 2:25:51.120 --> 2:25:53.480 I'll walk in there and smelling like I dount su kush. 2:25:54.560 --> 2:25:57.040 They tell me you get my exit. I have to 2:25:57.160 --> 2:26:00.040 respect the establishment. Like when Twin went in that's a 2:26:00.360 --> 2:26:05.119 spot ye, Twin, one of the taco spotts kicked out 2:26:05.240 --> 2:26:11.440 immediately because this girl that because I want to high 2:26:11.480 --> 2:26:13.360 school with him and he see me with Noriegos with 2:26:14.440 --> 2:26:15.800 I don't know how this guy blamed on me. I'm 2:26:15.840 --> 2:26:19.560 much change something again. Bring it right back overhead. But 2:26:19.760 --> 2:26:21.640 you don't think you don't read with that mega. So 2:26:21.760 --> 2:26:24.160 I'm about wherever you're at in the world. Let's suppose 2:26:24.200 --> 2:26:27.800 you in Dozudorf, Germany. Suppose you're a Moscow and you 2:26:27.959 --> 2:26:30.160 look like this is this is the main street, right, 2:26:30.240 --> 2:26:32.760 this is the main street of whatever market or whatever 2:26:32.840 --> 2:26:35.720 place you go to, and you look and the promoters like, yeah, 2:26:35.720 --> 2:26:37.840 that's the best restaurant, and you would be like, all right, 2:26:37.920 --> 2:26:40.440 that's the best restaurant. But the hip hop flag is 2:26:40.560 --> 2:26:43.800 right here. I can go there and do some lie. 2:26:44.080 --> 2:26:46.280 I don't think we'll ever get that flag, all right, 2:26:46.560 --> 2:26:51.760 because my dream has been crushed. The police hurt my 2:26:51.840 --> 2:26:54.360 feeling this place because I don't hurt. You know what, 2:26:55.640 --> 2:26:57.920 why don't you make one? No, no, I got one. 2:26:58.000 --> 2:27:00.840 I forgot where I saved it. Do send me? I 2:27:00.959 --> 2:27:04.200 was like, I love it most we posted the one 2:27:04.280 --> 2:27:07.480 I love I saved it, and you lost it. I 2:27:07.520 --> 2:27:09.840 don't know where I put it. It's somewhere, It's in 2:27:09.959 --> 2:27:12.040 my phone somewhere. I mean, it's gotta be more than 2:27:12.080 --> 2:27:14.920 just it's just. It's got to be an organization. But 2:27:16.040 --> 2:27:17.800 you know what, it's deeper than hip hop though, because 2:27:17.840 --> 2:27:19.200 at the end of the day, let me tell you 2:27:19.320 --> 2:27:23.400 something that I've learned from the world. Everywhere in the world, 2:27:27.360 --> 2:27:30.680 people are biased towards people of color, and hip hop 2:27:30.760 --> 2:27:34.200 is just wanted to identifiers of our culture. That's something 2:27:34.240 --> 2:27:37.440 that they identified or relating us with. They always assume 2:27:37.560 --> 2:27:40.720 we smoke weed. They always assume that we're up to something, 2:27:41.080 --> 2:27:44.840 and they always look at a suspicious uh. You have 2:27:44.959 --> 2:27:48.960 to learn, especially certain European places. There's been places where 2:27:50.360 --> 2:27:53.240 like you might even experience this from like that bumper two. 2:27:53.240 --> 2:27:56.200 You won't even say excuse me. So it's like I'm 2:27:56.240 --> 2:27:59.879 trying to figure none of that. So that the part 2:27:59.920 --> 2:28:03.480 of niggas that don't in the Europe they found niggeras 2:28:03.640 --> 2:28:07.920 respect of niggas, you know that Mega be out there 2:28:07.959 --> 2:28:10.920 all the top.
