I pulled the Nory move. I said, yo, look, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.840 you know, let's do this say this song. And he 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:26.600 was like, you know, do you on your masters? So 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.600 when we get to to the session, we get the 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.520 session is set in stone. But when I get there, 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.640 like Quest is telling me like, yo, I'm sorry, I'm 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.400 like sorry about what?

At the time, 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:51.000 Prince was in the studio and he was playing this 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.920 new album for Warners. Now this is I guess after 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.960 the whole Slave thing. I think he was back on 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.720 track with Warner Brothers and he had this new album 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:05.640 that Yeah, so he took control over all the studios 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.920 and Electric Lady so that the Warner brother people could 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.479 be listening to all these different tracks. I'm a Prince fan, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:22.160 but as a man, I was fucking pissed. Basically, everybody 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.839 had a cousin that was from the Bronx, which everybody 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:29.920 probably lies cool with Flash or hurt Um, but it 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.880 was just like you would get these tapes. There would 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:36.559 be a hundred generation tapes of Tea Connection and the Fever, 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.800 and you would basically imagine what these parties were like. 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.480 You know, to me, it was thousands of people in 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.880 these parties and there was massive sound systems, and those 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.200 parties could have been in the room like this, but 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.200 it was just what you got and what you imagine. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.880 But that that was it, you know, we um. I 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.920 feel like the hip hop scene in Philly was create 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:01.840 ate it off of what we thought it was in 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.240 New York.

I was like, I'm fixing, but I get 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.120 there staring and the because I had nowhere to go 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.640 true story and ship. Yeah yeah, I end up living that. 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.600 I didn't know where to go. So so these motherfuckers 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.480 showed up like a half hour early, trying to be 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.960 all cocky and ship at my door, you know, half 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.360 hour early, and they they came in my ship. It 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.880 was like, damn, this is where you're staying there for real. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.240 I was like, yeah, this is where we're shooting that 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:37.760 for real. What what do you? What do you? What 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.880 do your stance on a culture vot? I never really 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.720 thought about I hate the word throwing around a lot, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.720 but I never really gave it thought or what it 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.880 meant or this and that. Truthfully, you know what I mean. 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:51.160 There's so many people have different definitions for it. Um. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.400 I mean, I don't really look at it or say 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.760 this person is a part of stealing the culture or 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.480 doing this to the culture, this and that. To me, 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.920 if the culture it's a match culture right now. So 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.760 in order for rap or hip hop to grow and 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.600 had to grow outside of it's a media base right, 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.800 and for it to get that big, it's now all inclusive. Right, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:14.960 there's skating, basketball, this sock like everybody listens to the music. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.520 That's why I grew so big. So to me, it's 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.200 just mash culture right now. So if somebody's taking advantage, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.280 I don't think it's a color thing. It could be 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.240 a black person or white person. If that's the case. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.240 To say, if they're a culture vote, you're not. Yeah, 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.720 that's true. What do you what do you think about 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.600 that word? I mean, I agree with what you're saying. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.240 I think it's just complicated, like it's just who determines 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.400 who is the cultural vote, right, because I mean you 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.960 have to go into that person history where they come from. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.920 You don't know what their life entails that that makes 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.600 them a part of the culture or not. Right, that's true. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.240 I mean it's true what you're thinking, or I have 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.600 no idea to tell you the truth. Because, um, if 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.440 a person comes from outside of our culture quote unquote, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.800 and and it's just as dedicated as me, then I 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.640 gotta I gotta show some love, like as a person 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.200 kind of made me. You know, I don't want to 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.360 say because I don't want to like selfish myself out 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.440 and say like, well, if a person made me a 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.520 certain amount of money or put me in the position, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.440 then you know, how could it be a coaching moot? 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.680 I just don't. I don't. I don't really get it. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.800 I don't really know you know what I mean. So um, 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.960 I try to, but I'm trying to be enlightened, like 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.920 to even maybe maybe people have to differentiate business and culture. 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.520 That's where it gets money. Because if that's the case, 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.720 you you could be from you could be from reggae 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.840 thrown and coming and doing hip hop and that's desidered 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.960 you know, being a coaching vot. It's a gap, commercial gap, 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:42.760 but it's good, right is that the first like and 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.560 he said in it for us by us on the moat? 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.160 So it was that the first time like foodbull got 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.400 national recognition. We had already had a little bit of 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.880 national recognition because I think a couple of people of 0:16:54.960 --> 0:17:01.080 warning on their videos videos um you said, odib Mr 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:06.480 Jones okay okay um who else method Man and a 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.879 couple of people already wanted brand Nubian. So so they 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.760 had already when they wore an ice cream video and 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.520 a lot of a couple of other things. And I 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.320 think l A Warden the Hey Love video, He's sitting 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.040 on the rock and queens. So when you first heard 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:28.359 hustling every day, I'm hustling every day. I'm hustling flattered, flattered, 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:36.080 and hot. You said that's hot, he said, okay, alright, cool, 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.720 flattering and flatter at the same time. So I don't 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.920 really know how to feel about this thing that's dope. 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:43.880 So I get on the phone. I started calling people 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.160 in who know this story, you know, because I still 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.159 got my music. You know, I found Alcoholics while I 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.560 was in prison. But wait, the group the Alcoholics, Yeah, 0:17:54.040 --> 0:18:05.520 it's got signed. Wait hold on, because your baby's go backwards? 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.240 How did you go out with that? Whoa started like yoga? 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:21.360 Yeah started the backward? How did you start that? Um? 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.560 I love this name called Stop Sound. Uh as a DJ, 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.800 like I just want you know. My mother was from 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.600 the country Waynesburro, Georgia. She always was saying, my house, 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.160 you know you better like eat up everything in your plate, 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.159 like take that bread and stop up the syrup. So 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:42.199 Sound was like I was a DJ, blin all these 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:45.200 sounds and stop up all these sounds. The DJ. So 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.520 when I started back towards trying to be an MC. 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.720 I just turned everything backwards. Pass stop became past, you know, 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:58.080 sound became done. You know what I'm saying, God damn it. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.520 I said it's gonna be no limit to my success. 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.440 I named myself master because I'm a master what I do. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.440 But what's the difference between like Freeway taking the name, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.119 Rick Ross taking the name because between them both they 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:19.280 got both of you.

What the 0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:02.200 next nigga done me? No? Preak wise, did you feel 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.879 it was better than I don't know why, but that 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:09.080 crescent came up so much like like like I would 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.040 imagine competition wise, you guys are true and see you 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.320 would feel you're better than the next one. To be 0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:20.480 totally honest, I felt like we were. We also called 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.760 ourselves the X Men, you know what I mean, so 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.399 all of us collectively, Yeah, we we did. We did 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.159 a g Q photo spread as the X Men. And 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:34.399 I'm saying, um, and that's to say that everybody is 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.520 signified by their own special and unique power, you know. 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:43.399 Not break Away is like I was, I made up 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.800 some ship. I was, I was whoever and I was like, 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:52.480 you know, but I was powerful though now but not 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.840 so like it wasn't that kind of competition. We felt 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.200 like we were. We were supporting each other, like you 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:58.639 know what I mean, Like it was a real family 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:00.680 vibe Me and Drag all the way back to the 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:02.520 third grade, man, like we all a lot of us, 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.440 A few of us know each other longer, like that's 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:06.840 probably one of the longer relationships in the entire Dunget family. 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.080 But then again, I grew with Temo. He's a little 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:10.440 bit of us strewed over from me. And I'm saying, 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.280 like he's three years older than me. But you know, 0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:14.520 he graduated with my sister, So I had always seen him, 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.399 you know, all my whole life, you know, but no, 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.920 man like, it was never that kind of competition. But 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:22.440 you know, I will say this for the record, killing 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:24.159 Mike if you're mentioning him and he's a he's a 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.239 real grade. I'm seeing my opinion and I'm saying, you're 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.439 feeling a lot of people's opinions. Great person over all around. 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.680 But um. He said in the g Q interview that 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.400 he thought I was the best side of the Dungeon family. 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:37.720 Did you know that? KP. Yeah, he said that. So 0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.719 that's him. You're probably at the end of you ask him. 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:41.840 But I never thought like that. I just when I 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.159 think about family, when I think about crew, I just 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:45.960 come to play my position, you know what I'm saying, 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:47.720 Like you played to my strength, you know what I mean. Like, 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:49.760 so I'm just here to be a soldier for it. 0:24:49.840 --> 0:25:00.639 That's it. But it's the same think it's a instore, 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:02.600 goddamn it. I just think you fiving in that field 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:09.320 jump and we just stuck with it, kept it. Goddamnit 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:14.000
