I didn't know the stories of 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.040 reggae thor. I didn't know the nicky Jams. I didn't 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.160 know the Daddy Yankees.

But you got started 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.920 with it was Latin wrapped first. Yeah, it was Latin 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.720 wrapped back in the eighties.

He's considered the first get throne and 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.120 pr because hand that, I was kind of considered the 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.640 first one who made it, who kind of started doing 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.680 it in Panama? Am I correct? I mean, I mean 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.640 I can't say you know what it was because what 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.720 what what Vico C was doing was just Spanish hip, 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.880 you know what I'm saying that, And then I started 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:44.200 the Spanish reggae. Yeah, so you know, they did start 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.919 the reggae the movement because it was funny in the 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.680 movie when you called yourself raging muffins.

I came from 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.160 the States, right, okay, Lawrence, from Lawrence, Massachusetts, and went 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.240 to Puerto Rico. I didn't know ship about Spanish, you 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.640 know what I'm saying. I just knew a little bit 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.960 of Spanish. And I used to lie and say that 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.680 I knew jam I was half Jamaican because I used 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:20.279 to imitate Jamaican. I had my old VID. But I 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.960 wasn't saying ship man. You know, people believed that something. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.200 I was locked my way in, you know what I'm saying, Like, Yo, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.800 this kid is half Jamaican. You know, he's like, he's 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.680 twenty years old. He could wrap in English. Like. So 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.520 there was a concert that was a remember it was 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.640 a bat I don't know how you say the English. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:44.720 The regga Patrick Patrick Spanish. So we went over there 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.320 and people like, Yo, this is this kid. He's half 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:52.280 Jamaican and kids have Jamaican and I want you to 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.400 meet him and he's and so so they take me 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.480 them and she was like, yeah, jamaicanout okay. I used 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:09.280 to understood okay, and you talking. You know, Oh my god, 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:14.440 I'm swearing, and so that that made me. You know, 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.240 the thing is, I mean the style was fluid. I 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880 had the style and everything, but I didn't't know Spanish, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.400 so I learned the language in Spanish, you know, saying. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.039 I fell in love with the carry being and the 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.839 reygae movement. I mean in the States, I remember back 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:28.560 in the days when it was just when it was 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.160 you know, the hip hop and everything. People would dance separated, 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.679 you know what I'm saying, Like you going to the clubs, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.840 you didn't see people like grinding like you know what 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.560 I'm saying. So when I went to Puerto Rico and 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.120 I saw reggae ship, you know, girls and boys be 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.200 like that, what the funk? This is my life? You know? 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.159 This ship is crazy, man. I mean they used to 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.359 do a little they call him the garage parties, you 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.120 know what I'm saying. And uh, the next day you 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:58.520 will see all the jenes on the wall. It was 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.880 like the garage party, the DJ at the end of 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.520 the garage, you know what I'm saying. And then people 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.800 were charging money to go inside. That's those were the 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:11.120 first parties, okay, and one and another thing is when 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.200 I first got to Puerto Rico. I first came to 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.280 Puerto Rico, they made me performing a cassett el, right, 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.320 And when you and and Daddy Yankee did it was 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.280 that's something that was traditional every year you guys were performing. 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.960 I mean, is like the projects in Puerto Rico. So 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.000 it's like something Christmas. You gotta do it everywhere, you 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.560 know what I'm saying.

It's funny because I did a 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.760 lot of bad things in the past, you know what 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.200 I'm saying where people people sit down and I don't 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.440 even wanna talk about it, but people of people say, like, yo, Nikki, 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.240 you did stuff that you never bragged in a rap 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.679 song or nothing about it. Like I'm not because it 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.920 wasn't my It wasn't my thing to do, you know 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:04.840 what I'm saying, And I'm not, you know, I don't. 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:06.920 I don't think it was. I don't think it was 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.679 something that people wanted to hear from me. I think 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.640 it sound kind of funny. I'll kill you this, come on, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:22.719 give us that little you know. But Nikki was always like, 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.880 don't get it twisted with a little phases. So one 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.240 of the I'm bouncing around because like I said, like 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.480 I said, this really have a really thing. You have 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:36.480 a really I don't I'm saying beautiful because of the turnout, 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.599 But it was to get to beautiful, to get to 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.240 beautiful it was, and like I said, I really admire 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.760 the fact that you kept it so real, you kept 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:49.079 it so so now bouncing around me and Mato was 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:50.839 trying to debate just now it's like why did he 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.319 go to Columbia in the first place? Right for me, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.640 from what I understand in the in the movie, Um, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.240 you went because of a show. Okay, so how did 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.240 that turn into me staying there for ten years? Well? 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.000 The thing is in Puerto Rico, I wasn't doing no shows, man, 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.199 I mean everything was. Nobody wanted to funk with me. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.360 I had a bunch of street problems and I was 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.240 in drugs and I was messed up, so nobody like 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.559 for me. For in Puerto Rico in the time, I 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.559 was like the embarrassment of reggaetone music. But in Colombia 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.720 I was I was a legend because they listened so much. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.960 They even listened to music that in Puerto Rico people 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.200 didn't like. So they like Puerto Rico like my heads, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.400 but Colombia like my hits and the songs that wasn't. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.880 Really I don't want to go right back to Colombia. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.079 Remember to go back back to Colombia. But what do 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.559 you mean by that in Puerto Rico? Because I just 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.160 I don't think port Ico looked at you as an embarrassment. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.520 I think I mean in the time and the time, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.280 in the time I was an embarrassment and in the 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.199 music at what time you would say, is that time 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.000 I would saying what I wasn't in a whole bunch 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.200 of situations, you know what I'm saying, Like cat they 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.720 called me, they called me in a car that old 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.000 like seven months and and got a jail for some 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.960 stupid stuff like that. Or they caught me with cocaine 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.640 and in my parking and they got and they locked 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.559 me up for that. Like it was embarrassment, embarrassment, embarrassment. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.160 It was like, you know, when you were in drugs, 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.679 what's gonna happen? And then I just go to you know, 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.760 say so in Puerto Rico was like, you know, Puerto 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.160 Rico is a very competitive vibe, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.240 So it's like, man, who's up? Man? Like you know, 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:19.720 like and in Colombia it was like, you know, I 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.360 don't expect Puerto Rico to Uh. I'm gonna get this clear. 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.080 I don't expect Puerto Rico. I don't. I don't judge 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.560 Puerto Rico because of my faith about my situation. You 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.080 know what I'm saying. That was me, that was my situation. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.240 I just needed to get out of Puerto Rico so 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.280 I could find myself. You know what I'm saying. Like 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.320 a lot of famous people, do you know what I'm 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.080 saying that you went to Columbia. Most people go to 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:46.520 Columbia to get fucked up. Really, ten years you would 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.400 say five was getting up. Check this out. When they 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.160 called me for a show, and uh, they're like, yo, Nikki, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.280 and we want to show, and how much you charge it? 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:55.760 In that moment, I need to pay the rent. So 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.120 I said, just give me two thousand dollars. And the 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.920 dudes like, okay, we'll give you two thousand dollars and 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.240 I'm going to Columbia. When I saw the movement of 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.560 the urban music, the reggae, reggaetar music, and Columbia was like, 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.480 what the fund is? This man like people was doing 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.600 five shows a day a day and I'm starving in 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.120 Puerto Rico. And that same week that I went, I 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.200 did like seven shows. So I said, I'm living this motherfucker. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.880 I got I got the kids. You know, I pay 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.400 the rent and I gotta child support and all that. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.480 The thing is um When I went to the show, 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.960 I was the only old school cat, like everybody else 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.040 was like the new kids. They were killing the game 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.640 that I get through, you know what I'm saying. You know, no, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.000 I meant there was yeah, but that's I'm talking about 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.040 like the in the world. I bet there was kicking 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.040 in Colombia. He was doing good in Columbia, but I'm 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.680 talking about everywhere else. Then I get through Joe Zombie 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.800 like the biggest stars, I've got you and now unless 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.880 you feel all these cats were killing the game and 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.080 they were on this big ass show and I was 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.000 the only guy that was like not active in the 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.080 You couldn't be on that same show on Porter we 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.880 go never and they took me on my home but 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.840 they saved me for last the Colombians. Yeah, and I'm 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.760 worried and I'm like, yo, bro, like you know what 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:20.480 I'm saying something. So that's what I'm saying.

No, if I said, you know, 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.560 the funny thing is when I came out, man, that 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.960 ship wanted to fucking b the fun You gotta understand, 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.520 I started this movement with Daddy Yankee years ago, back 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.280 in ninety to me, Yank Yankee, Me and a couple 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:40.960 of more. There's a lot more that I would never 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.840 finish if I talked this og black mouth there Joe, Um, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:50.160 there's a job Evie, queen baby, a whole bunch, a 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:55.120 whole bunch. But like, so to see that everybody was crazy. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.760 I said, man, I love this place. And everywhere I went, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.960 people like, you're a legend. But I'm bro llegend, you llegend. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.640 So one thing I saw in Columbia was I saw 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.000 this like almost fifty million people here and I did 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.960 a little freestyling video with Yahorn and a hotel. You 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:14.680 probably see it if you look, if you if you 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.280 check it out, and it did almost like two million 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.560 views or a million views, I don't remember at that time. 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:24.239 So I said, Okay, if I do one national hit 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.200 in this country, I could probably make so much views 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.920 that I could bounce again all over the world. So 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.440 I'm gonna focus I'm gonna focus on that. That was 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.560 my mentality. But before that, something fucked up happened. That 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.680 it was my thirtieth birthday and I went to a 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:44.240 club and I did, like I don't know how many cocaine. 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.639 I don't know how many cocaine I do. I'm talking 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.000 about so much cocaine. I mean the guy went to 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:52.720 pick me up in the house, there was like a 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.680 little bag of cocaine and every spot of the house. 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.280 Because I think this guy was like I was performing. 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:06.320 I was just on that. Was that Columbia or you 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.760 would have been like that in pr too? Was Columbia? 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.640 And I mean I was there. I mean I was there. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.960 I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna go there, but 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.720 I was saying I was there. A guy said, yo, Nikki, 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.720 you want to hit. He had a big gass bag 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.040 like this. I went to the bathroom and it was 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:30.760 double bag bag. I went like this, I'm like y'all, 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:35.479 thank you so much. And so this is the thing, 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.120 that's the thing I did that I did. I woke 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.040 up like around seven o'clock in the morning. I had 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.879 another show on both without different city from Maiging, and 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:48.200 I remember that I was feeling kind of weird.

I was 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:51.880 in the plane and all of a sudden, I'm trying 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.680 to move my hands and I can't move my hands, 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.600 and I got to concentrate to do every every movement, 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.040 you know what I'm saying. So I'm like, who ship 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.920 what the fund is going on with me? I guess 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.320 I did so much drugs my whole life because I 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.240 did ecstasy, I did every I even didn't I even 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.399 did heroin. I didn't do it by veins, but you know, 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.280 by by nose. I didn't so much drugs. It sucked 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.320 up my my nervous system.

Artists don't know 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.719 how you know, you go from being this this legend 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.800 and then Leo Combes just to say you got a 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.680 little bit of whack juice on you. So when you 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.040 have wack juice on you, people don't want to mess 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.760 with you. Nobody want to. And at the same time, 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:40.960 I had a bad situation with Daddy Yankee. You know 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.240 what I'm saying. Daddy Yankee was you know, he was 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.919 he was everybody the respect that people have for Yankee, 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:48.880 you know what I'm saying. So until I didn't fix 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.280 that situation, you know what I'm saying, people want to 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:53.200 be clear that I was, that I was good, you know, 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.280 because I was fucked up. I sucked it up, and 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:59.320 don't get to that too. But ahead because I was 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:03.200 around when that happened, like when when the leaning back, Yeah, 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.080 I was, I was, actually it was crazy and I 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:08.919 don't know if this is true. I don't know if 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.600 this is true. You tell me it's true. Somebody somebody 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:16.800 contacted me and said, uh, Nicky Jam. They I don't 0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:18.200 know what if they said, Nickie Jam, but they said, 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:21.200 Yankees brother wants to do a record with you. So 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.479 I'm like, all right, cool, no problem, like and then 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:27.280 they're like, so I asked, said, yo, Nicky Jam do 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.200 a record, and he goes, yo, right now, Poppy and 0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:34.320 he's like, yo, man, you know, but he's not really together. Yeah, 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:37.720 And you know what I thought at first was like whatever, 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.480 And then later on I was like, I think Yanky 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.320 was hating And then when I saw the movie, I 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.280 was like, oh my god, maybe he wasn't he was. 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:50.760 He wasn't, I say a percent. He was doing everything 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:52.520 about it. He was just trying. He was trying to 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.680 help me all the time. He was trying to help me. 0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.240 And I was just because in the movie I could 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.760 see certain people say that Yankee looked like an angel. 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:04.399 Was he was he mad that he looked like because 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:06.200 he looked like he just was perfect and he didn't 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:08.840 did nothing wrong. No, no, he was from the streets, 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.680 but he never did anything wrong to me, right something. 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:14.480 What I meant is like in the streets, like yeah, 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.159 no Yankee, you know, like you saw this, like he 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.840 was he was in uh when the police put them 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:21.320 over and he's in the hood, and they were like 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.119 they were talking to him, like people from the streets 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.320 wanta talk to Yankee like that.

Bro, it was just me being 0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:17.960 iglorand Bro, I love love, I love I loved in 0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:21.280 the movie where you kind of looked at yourself and 0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.719 you reflected on and, Um, your manager, what's his name? 0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:28.880 The guy from Columbia. Yea, if I see him, I'm 0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.200 not even gonna give him a five. I got about 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:35.000 to him. That's what's bro, yo. Like this ship that 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:37.560 he was putting together for you, that's like, you didn't 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:39.800 go to Columbia for you. You went to Columbia for him, 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.320 and that he was he was a blessing for you, bro. 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:47.439 And like obviously obviously obviously, um, you know that's it's 0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:48.919 through the movie. So I don't you know what I mean, 0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.520 but that was that was a blessing. But um, what 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:58.280 was I saying before that? If you about we know that? Um, 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:02.040 but is it really that hard in Puerto Rico? Like 0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.000 what like at the street? Oh my god, you don't 0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:10.200 understand man. Puerto Rico was rated number one capital and 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:13.239 murder in the world. Yeah, I remember that Rico only 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.240 have three million people living. You know what I'm saying, 0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:18.800 You go, don'ta sunk around when it comes to that 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:20.560 street ship, you know what I'm saying. And when we 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.119 come from it's not it's not easy like in the movie. 0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:28.920 I wanted to go in the whole Oh yeah, it 0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:31.720 was his name. He's not here no more. Yeah, you know, 0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:36.399 I want to I want what's because I noticed this 0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.080 part of this entertainment, so you know, I know, but 0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.240 was it really like that? Was it over a girl? 0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:45.080 And like because I remember I think, I think, Dad, 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.480 you got shot in New York. I think this guy 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:50.360 was missing my guy names stand and even just put 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:52.440 it in the movie. Actually that was the only part 0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:54.440 I was like. I was a little skeptical of because 0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.119 you have a Puerto Rican barber shop with none but 0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.760 Dominicans in there. I peeped that. I just that Lobo 0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:09.960 he's I mean, I mean, I'm to but um, so 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.359 what we're talking about, I was just saying what he was. 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:14.760 He was talking about how the streets in Porto Rico 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.879 jah man ship is quick. No, I mean the situation 0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:21.479 was that one of the boys that me and Yankee, Uh, 0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:26.440 the guy I'm not gonna say that he was he 0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:29.160 was he was waning. We helped him, and a dude 0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.440 from the streets, Uh didn't like that that we held him. 0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:35.159 So he ended up killing that guy and then he 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:37.840 was after us. You know what I'm saying, like in 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:39.520 the movie. He was in the music, just like in 0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:41.440 the movie.

Like he's always a hundred million 0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:41.880 dollar man. You know what I'm trying to say. He 0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:47.160 was always a boss. Yeah, and that I was always 0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:49.920 a crazy to clown. He was like he was really 0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:53.040 a boss street street dude.

Yankee streaked like a motherfucker I'm 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:07.000 telling you. But you know the dude, you know he 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:10.120 went through a lot of ship too in his pastor Yeah, 0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:11.960 he went through a lot of ships. So his mentality 0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.360 was like Nicki's gonna he was at the point like Nick, 0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.800 He's gonna suck it up for me, Like I love 0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:21.000 him a lot, but I've been like trying and trying 0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.480 trying because he was using the movie, right, you went 0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:26.800 from like the first time like meeting him and then 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:28.400 it was like one time you came to the studio 0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.800 late and it was just like I don't want to 0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:32.640 say ungrateful, but it was just like yo, I'm here, 0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:34.920 just shut the funk up type of ship. How did 0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:36.920 you go from that from that movie from like you know, 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.040 when you was first well, to be clear, I will 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:43.160 never tell Yankee shut the fun he was because he 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.880 was always bigger than me. Movie. It was like you 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:50.960 came late with what's my man? Jonz Um, j Jones 0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:56.720 came with Jones. And I related to the situation because 0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:59.000 I remember, you know, me and Capone getting together and 0:31:59.040 --> 0:32:00.800 Capone being happy to be at the studio at one 0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:02.440 point and then him knowing that he's about to go 0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.480 to jail and him just being like fuck it, like 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.000 has come to the studio. And that's what I realized, Like, Yo, 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:10.160 I might be Yankee in this situation. How did you 0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.920 go from that?

The thing is that shows that that particular 0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:22.240 part right there shows how daddy Yankee was always focused 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.960 and I was just not appreciating life. I was not 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.600 appreciating the gift that God gave me a music. I 0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:30.960 was not, you know, not doing it. And he was 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:35.160 telling me like, bro, you know what I'm saying, come on, man, 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:37.320 Like you know, Yankee was the type of guy if 0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:39.880 we went to New York, he would change, his mentality 0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:41.400 would change, becuse he know in New York was like 0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:43.960 the city of hip hop. So he would put his 0:32:44.240 --> 0:32:46.240 his his his benie on and he was sitting on 0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:48.200 a car like that, we want to like a like 0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:50.720 a town car tax anybody he was in the limo 0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.480 said I'm not joking with the guy, and he's like, 0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:59.880 and then I was like, because I was just a clown, bro, 0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:02.520 don't wanted to clown around, you know what I'm saying. 0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.000 And he was always, you know, serious about business, and 0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:07.520 I was hanging out with the wrong people. And you know, 0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:09.480 when you hang around with the wrong people, they don't 0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.600 give you the best advice. So everything that happened with 0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:15.920 me and Yankee was because I was on drugs, I 0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.640 was ignorant, I had the wrong people next to me. 0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:22.880 So what was the exact thing that said? Because as 0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:24.960 an artist, it takes a lot for us to write 0:33:25.000 --> 0:33:27.360 something to something right. And when you write something, it's 0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:29.840 like coming from the heart regardless. So for you to 0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:32.040 write something that, it had to be something that really 0:33:32.680 --> 0:33:35.040 tick you off. They're just trying to pick somebody off, 0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:38.000 you know what I'm saying. Like I was, I was mad, Yeah, 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.240 I was, I just I just wrote. I just wrote 0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:44.000 what I wrote because I thought I had to go 0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.640 hard and made somebody mad, but the way they made 0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:48.960 me mad, So the problem was the problem was this. 0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.640 But did he come at you first? That's what you thought? 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:59.200 What's that's what I'm trying. There was a party said that, 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:05.720 uh he said something like about it, like you talk 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:07.800 for us because you because of the pills or whatever. 0:34:08.520 --> 0:34:11.560 And that wasn't for me. I don't think it was. 0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:15.280 I know it wasn't for me. It was for somebody else. 0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:17.320 So I just went at him because I was like, 0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:20.640 oh he did and then people, you know, bad energy 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:22.839 and all that ship, so of course he's gonna feel bad. 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.799 It was just a bad moment. It was a bad, 0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:28.560 stupid moment in my life where I didn't have my 0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:32.640 head clear and the dude hadn't ever been a record back. 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.279 He never made a record back. Man, he did, he 0:34:35.360 --> 0:34:37.960 had got Solina, the biggest hit in the world, and 0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:46.839 that's you don't need. After that, he made me look, yeah, 0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:50.520 that's that's life, that's what it's all about. Because he 0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:52.839 was there for me and he was doing something good. 0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:54.720 He was trying to help me, and I was stupid 0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:56.640 and ignorant and not pay for it. You know what, 0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.520 I'm saying, you know that nothing comes You know what 0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:02.880 I'm saying you You you get what you give. I 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:05.680 gave bad energy, of bad mentality. I was stupid and 0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:07.640 I paid for that. Look at all the ship I 0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:12.080 went through. You saw it, jail, drugs, embarrassments. My music 0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.000 wasn't popping, I wasn't doing so and me and Nas 0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.239 we had a fallout, right, and for two years it 0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.840 was rough for me. How was it for you? Like 0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:23.000 hard when when you made this record with Daddy and 0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:26.759 now Yankee is popping. Imagine I imagine this. I could 0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:28.799 have been a part of it, and instead of being 0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:31.600 a part of it, because I was stupid and ignorant, 0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.759 I had to see somebody's success six like, succeed to 0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:38.360 the fullest and my career just go down because I 0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:41.960 was stupid and ignorant. And then obviously, during all those 0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.279 years that I was doing drugs, I kept my mom 0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.719 mentality like no funk, everybody did it because it looks 0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:50.320 like a bad cloud you get. But then when you 0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:55.239 stopped doing drugs and your mind gets clear, you're like, funk, man, 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.600 this dude was right and I was wrong, and it 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:02.479 took me ten fucking years. He realized that ship you wanted. 0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:04.400 He wanted to get back up. He wanted to be 0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:06.880 back into a level. You don't he want to just 0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.239 come to the Yankee and squash it like and like 0:36:09.360 --> 0:36:12.759 you're needing him exactly I wanted. I know, I wanted 0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:15.960 to sit down and what I already had the position? 0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:17.640 So how do you think like that? That's that's that's 0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.840 a will bollship because my mentality is it's it's easy 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:25.840 to say you're sorry when you need something. So is 0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:30.600 he really gonna believe that is official? But because but 0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:32.680 if I'm successful and rich and I say I'm sorry, 0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:36.759 like he don't need ships, so it's real, you know 0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.920 what I'm saying. So I waited for that. I worked 0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:42.040 my ass off, I did everything I could, you know 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:45.080 what I'm saying, to be big and huge and then 0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:46.960 sitting next to the guy and me like and he 0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:50.480 won't feel it uncomfortable. He didn't felt uncomfortable. It didn't 0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:53.200 feel awkward because it feels awkward as funk that you like, 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:56.359 broke is fucking a bad situation, Like yo, bro I'm 0:36:56.400 --> 0:37:00.440 sorry and fucking with you. You'd be like you need 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:06.800 a you need a song, you need a future, you 0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:09.239 need a video. You're sucking with me, you know what 0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.680 I'm saying. So it felt good to go back to 0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:15.239 him in a good position in my career, you know 0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.960 what I'm saying. And that made me feel good about myself. 0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.839 And he knew it was real because in that moment, 0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.160 I could have act too. I could have been like, 0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:26.120 I'm popping now, I don't fun no no no, no, no, 0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:30.359 no sorry, And I'm still with your soldier and you're 0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:32.560 still the boss baby, and that's the way it's still be. 0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:43.520 You think, hell, yeah, that's easy. You know what I'm saying. 0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:45.400 That's easy. I mean, I mean we're working a lot 0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.719 because I'm doing movies, I'm doing series, I'm doing a 0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:50.640 whole bunch of stuff.

So we did it as the best 0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.360 thing I did in my life because it bring me 0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:30.080 to pop sensation. Automatically the team made like that ship. 0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:33.960 I wasn't pop. I was popping in Israel and Swiss 0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:37.200 and all Europe because of this guy. Because your girls 0:44:37.280 --> 0:44:38.840 love this guy. You know what I'm saying. They love 0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:41.360 him to lie. So I mean, you know that's in 0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:45.439 greeking money right there. That's when I started winning breaking money, 0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:48.520 and then that was different. It's a whole different way 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:50.960 changing my career after that. You know that the song 0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:53.640 was number one for twenty eight weeks on the Billboard 0:44:53.640 --> 0:45:00.839 shots tweeny eats eats number one. That's why I got 0:45:00.880 --> 0:45:03.160 my Grammy and blah blah blah and all that ship. 0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:05.520 I was big for me too, because you know, like 0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:08.480 reggae tone artists wasn't winning Grammys. It was like more 0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:10.320 art ship, you know what I'm saying. Like, you know, 0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:13.480 it was easier to see somebody like girl Salia get 0:45:14.200 --> 0:45:16.719 a Grammy because she's seen Flamenco and she had like 0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.719 an urban dark vibe. They get. Throw music wasn't really 0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:21.560 getting Grammys in those years. So for me to get 0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:24.560 a Grammy was huge, you know what I'm saying. If 0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:26.640 you see the video when I wanted, I jumped like 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:29.360 a motherfucker. I did flip flops and everything, getting a 0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:32.799 great suit. I had a great scause, you know, I mean, 0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:35.319 I mean I was I was already like thirty five 0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:38.080 years old, thirty six years old, and this reggae tol 0:45:38.200 --> 0:45:40.120 music is for kids, you know what I'm saying. I'm 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:45.000 already forty something years. So I'm gonna say something.

So I never I never knew that 0:52:05.280 --> 0:52:07.600 that was like when you had to see when I 0:52:07.800 --> 0:52:11.400 was doing coke, and obviously Yankee didn't do very funny 0:52:11.560 --> 0:52:13.399 to see, you had to see the way Yankee would 0:52:13.400 --> 0:52:15.040 look at me when I was like really cooked up. 0:52:15.360 --> 0:52:17.080 He was sitting on me.

I need to hear 0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:58.160 this walk like, oh my god, wrings when you're doing 0:52:58.160 --> 0:52:59.759 when you sunked up and drudge is the worst thing 0:52:59.920 --> 0:53:04.640 is that light is like everybody don't you inside was 0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:15.520 like and I was like Niki Young and oh god, 0:53:16.360 --> 0:53:20.800 it's crazy, bro, this beautiful. I'm really proud of what 0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:24.000 you went through, how much of a man that you are, 0:53:24.120 --> 0:53:26.640 because so many people would be better, and so many 0:53:26.680 --> 0:53:29.320 people would not have took the same situation like in this, 0:53:29.560 --> 0:53:31.879 in this, in the in the movie, you keep writing 0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:34.560 the same song. Wasn't really like that because you kept 0:53:34.680 --> 0:53:37.120 having the pad and your pops was waking up. I 0:53:37.200 --> 0:53:39.239 didn't do I didn't do a hint for a long time. 0:53:39.320 --> 0:53:41.680 So I was really focusing on this song, to the 0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:45.560 one song, and that was be inside me. I needed 0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:55.279 it hit I'm not yours, not that, but that was 0:53:55.400 --> 0:53:57.320 my last hit. What was the new one? That he 0:53:57.360 --> 0:54:00.239 was right? And you kept saying to your pants man 0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:05.560 and me that bittings that was in me, and when 0:54:05.600 --> 0:54:14.279 you going to were saying it was too slow, it 0:54:14.440 --> 0:54:17.200 was too slow, too romantic because everybody was doing that yo, 0:54:17.239 --> 0:54:19.040 get over bad the other thing. You know what I'm saying, 0:54:19.040 --> 0:54:21.879 that good ship, and I was too romantic with that ship. 0:54:22.000 --> 0:54:24.800 The song came out and didn't do anything, so it 0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:28.440 became a hit a year after in Columbia. You know 0:54:28.560 --> 0:54:30.759 what I like was when you went to do the 0:54:30.840 --> 0:54:34.719 interview in Colombia and like you guys just bullied your 0:54:34.719 --> 0:54:38.759 way on you. There was a show. They didn't want 0:54:38.760 --> 0:54:40.439 to us stay. They wanted like people that were really, 0:54:40.880 --> 0:54:44.200 you know, killing the game. So my my manager, he hustled. 0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:49.560 He said, I got this guy, got yeah, this guy 0:54:49.600 --> 0:54:51.240 and this guy. So when we got to the shows 0:54:51.280 --> 0:54:53.640 like yo, they can't make it, but we got naked 0:54:53.960 --> 0:54:58.279 and I'm over here, like what's good? So the thing 0:54:58.440 --> 0:55:00.480 is I was already killing the game and the streets. 0:55:01.200 --> 0:55:03.680 But the TV shows they didn't know who the funk 0:55:03.719 --> 0:55:07.160 I was. They didn't believe that ship. So I said, 0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:09.640 I promised the lady like I'm gonna make those numbers 0:55:09.680 --> 0:55:12.600 for you, just give me a shot. I sang the 0:55:12.680 --> 0:55:15.760 song and the ratings went up and they're like, okay, 0:55:15.840 --> 0:55:19.440 so this guy is really somebody you know. Of course, 0:55:19.480 --> 0:55:21.480 I did a whole bunch of shows back. And that's why, 0:55:21.520 --> 0:55:23.400 because in that moment, it was really hard to go 0:55:23.560 --> 0:55:26.520 in TV like Columbian TV if he wasn't from Columbia. 0:55:27.080 --> 0:55:30.399 You know what I'm saying. So I wanted to love. 0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:34.200 To be honest with you, I'm here because of love 0:55:34.320 --> 0:55:37.000 Columbia gave me. You know what I'm saying. They gave 0:55:37.080 --> 0:55:42.279 me so much love, so much love, and they made 0:55:42.360 --> 0:55:44.160 me feel they made me feel like I was part 0:55:44.200 --> 0:55:46.560 of Columbia. What's that true? In the movie when Jake 0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:49.680 Album pulled up, Yeah, yeah, I mean Jay Bobby. The 0:55:49.760 --> 0:55:52.719 thing is Jay Bobbi being was he knew what was 0:55:52.800 --> 0:55:55.080 living in Puerto Rico and Colombia, and he's I want 0:55:55.080 --> 0:55:57.440 to see Nikki Jackers for him. Imagine, you know what 0:55:57.520 --> 0:56:00.839 I'm saying. So I was like spilt into my way 0:56:00.880 --> 0:56:03.320 inside the club and he pulls up, not in not 0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:05.880 in a Ferrari. He had a range rover in that moment, 0:56:06.120 --> 0:56:09.279 which it was big and Colubia, and he pulls up 0:56:09.760 --> 0:56:14.080 and everybody's like Jay Bobbin's I'm like, oh, I don't 0:56:14.120 --> 0:56:16.000 want this guy to see me trying to hustle and 0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:18.839 come inside. So he comes. You know what saying it's like, yes, Jay, 0:56:18.880 --> 0:56:20.680 Bobbin's gonna turn around. You know, he comes out with 0:56:20.760 --> 0:56:22.960 a swag. You don't know how that feels when you 0:56:23.040 --> 0:56:26.640 know somebody you wanted, somebody want good. You know what 0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:28.960 I'm saying. I know. I mean, I'm gonna tell you 0:56:29.000 --> 0:56:31.120 this story is the funniest thing. Man. It sounds better 0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:35.120 in Spanish. But I remember, so we seen.

When I get to the 1:03:12.360 --> 1:03:17.520 embassy was closed, but the lady was outside and she's like, 1:03:17.880 --> 1:03:20.720 here your passport. I got you.

I went to Columbia, 1:03:48.960 --> 1:03:51.200 did the show, pay sign the money, and from there 1:03:51.240 --> 1:04:00.640 on I stayed in Columbia. So like the record Union, 1:04:02.080 --> 1:04:05.080 it should be a Reggae Thrown Union, because you know what, 1:04:05.160 --> 1:04:09.800 I'm gonna be honest, um, nicky Jam. When I did 1:04:09.880 --> 1:04:14.720 Reggae Thrown, everybody cut me off from the from the 1:04:14.800 --> 1:04:21.440 hip hop world because they saw you sad. What do 1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:29.760 you what it means? First of all, now, yes, listen, 1:04:29.840 --> 1:04:34.040 this is just label. I'm gonna tell you. Let me 1:04:34.120 --> 1:04:35.920 tell you how deep it was, man, because I don't 1:04:35.960 --> 1:04:40.720 think I've ever said this story. I love my people, 1:04:41.640 --> 1:04:44.680 so I know I wasn't the real reggae throw Like 1:04:44.720 --> 1:04:47.760 I just loved the music. I wanted to do something 1:04:47.840 --> 1:04:50.360 for it. So I had I had a record called 1:04:50.400 --> 1:04:53.520 Throw My Reggae Throne because I wanted DJ enough Camillo. 1:04:53.800 --> 1:04:55.840 I wanted these people to play it. They couldn't play it. 1:04:56.880 --> 1:04:59.720 So I went and I got a verse from a person. 1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:04.800 His name is cool Kid DJ coo Kid. At the time, 1:05:04.880 --> 1:05:07.200 this is when I'm scovering reggae thron, so I know 1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:10.320 all your motherfucker's records. I don't know who your motherfucker's are, 1:05:11.280 --> 1:05:15.919 but I know the record because I'm just I'm vibing 1:05:15.960 --> 1:05:20.840 into it. So I get come across the dude named 1:05:20.880 --> 1:05:24.280 they Go God. It all his verse for a god 1:05:24.360 --> 1:05:28.560 named DJ Hookey. So I did a record only for 1:05:28.720 --> 1:05:34.000 the Puerto Rican the parade facts it was only La Porade. 1:05:34.280 --> 1:05:36.600 Every year I get hired as a as a as 1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:38.760 a Puerto Rican from New York, I do the Porto 1:05:38.800 --> 1:05:41.600 Rigan Parade. I never have a record to I got. 1:05:41.800 --> 1:05:46.400 I got start. Oh God, that's not good. It's not good. 1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:50.480 It's not good to play in three o'clock in the 1:05:50.520 --> 1:05:56.400 afternoon and Street and Broadway coming on town. It's not good. 1:05:56.520 --> 1:05:59.680 Like kids out there. So I make this record just 1:05:59.760 --> 1:06:06.160 to miniate my friend Big Punt the original version. You're 1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:09.760 on the original version, you don't so the original version 1:06:09.760 --> 1:06:13.919 of just body Money, and now he's singing on yeah 1:06:14.400 --> 1:06:25.920 you know ship. I was so at the time, at 1:06:25.960 --> 1:06:28.960 the time, this is the whole breakdown. I'll never swept. 1:06:29.240 --> 1:06:34.120 At the time, I was wrong for taking things verse 1:06:35.040 --> 1:06:38.840 and putting it on right. I was wrong being honest 1:06:39.560 --> 1:06:44.240 that verse. Huh. I said that they felt some kind 1:06:44.240 --> 1:06:52.560 of way they messed up. Hip Hop doesn't always have 1:06:52.680 --> 1:06:59.440 to make sense, you understand hip hop? Okay, all right, 1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:01.880 hip hop doesn't always have to make sense, but it 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:05.120 has to work. So when they go and I put 1:07:05.200 --> 1:07:09.800 out the record, we got word from that, you know, 1:07:09.880 --> 1:07:12.680 think it might be a little upset because we didn't 1:07:12.680 --> 1:07:14.800 ask permission. We just I just felt like, YO were 1:07:14.840 --> 1:07:17.080 all Porto weekends like this is be together. So I 1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:19.880 got word of this new guy that's coming out. His 1:07:20.040 --> 1:07:23.840 name is Daddy Yankee. Daddy Yankee contacts us, so we 1:07:23.960 --> 1:07:27.520 contact him. Let's be clear because it's super old. So 1:07:28.600 --> 1:07:31.320 Old said this is the next guy if they go front, 1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:34.920 he's the guy put him on. So we get on 1:07:35.000 --> 1:07:39.960 the phone with him and Yankee says, by the way, 1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:45.920 they goes asking us fifty all right, I'm working with 1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:49.439 the biggest of the biggest. We ain't even getting twenty 1:07:49.520 --> 1:07:52.560 from me, bro, So when I had fifty tho, I 1:07:52.680 --> 1:07:57.720 kind of feel like disrespect at the time. But Jankie 1:07:59.080 --> 1:08:03.600 very small because strategic person. Oh yeah, Poppy, I don't 1:08:03.640 --> 1:08:09.280 want nothing. I threw this ship for free. He hustle 1:08:09.400 --> 1:08:14.440 for that. Love the Lord, how are you thinking? And 1:08:14.560 --> 1:08:18.280 he killed it? Super Bowl says, no, you're not doing 1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:22.960 it for free. You're gonna get on Garcelina. At the time, 1:08:23.080 --> 1:08:25.720 Gazelina didn't leave by your mom and didn't leave both 1:08:25.760 --> 1:08:29.479 and say and then it was all so when I 1:08:29.600 --> 1:08:33.320 told him I gonna get on gar Selina, Yankee said, 1:08:33.360 --> 1:08:36.599 holy the fuck. Let's be clear. I'm a legend too. 1:08:36.680 --> 1:08:42.240 Let's come on, man, let's just be clear. I looked 1:08:42.280 --> 1:08:44.760 at you too. So when I told Yankee, I knew 1:08:45.240 --> 1:08:51.680 what Gacelina and I was lying. But I listened to 1:08:51.720 --> 1:08:53.960 super Bowl. Yeah, I listened to super Bowl. I keep 1:08:54.040 --> 1:08:56.720 getting less here. I ain't even be iin't even realizing that. 1:08:58.439 --> 1:09:02.920 And it set all. It was the perfect time for 1:09:03.040 --> 1:09:06.519 the Latino storm was I'm gonna be honest with you 1:09:06.640 --> 1:09:09.680 because and listen, I will see it this way, you sacrifice, 1:09:09.840 --> 1:09:14.519 I sacrifice us to three years. I'm just sacrifice people us. 1:09:14.960 --> 1:09:22.519 I'm just about four years. They're telling me after that 1:09:22.720 --> 1:09:25.360 after only be come to work. It worse, worse.

I remember 1:11:50.560 --> 1:11:53.640 when you started doing a verse. I thought you was 1:11:53.760 --> 1:11:57.800 cracking jokes because it was like this regged Spanish. I 1:11:57.880 --> 1:12:00.479 hadn't even like. I had just heard about they get 1:12:00.520 --> 1:12:03.120 done in a trip to Puerto Rico in two thousand 1:12:03.520 --> 1:12:10.840 at Stargate Echo and and I was like, what is 1:12:11.000 --> 1:12:13.320 this ship? Bro? And he was like, this is gonna 1:12:13.360 --> 1:12:15.519 take over the world. I'm like, I don't know. And 1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:18.280 then you started doing it and I was like, bro, 1:12:18.479 --> 1:12:21.040 you're crazy right now, what are you doing? And then 1:12:21.439 --> 1:12:27.439 the ship took off? Man? But you know you real quick, 1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:30.920 I was, but real quick. The reason why a lot 1:12:30.960 --> 1:12:33.519 of at least Latinos in the States had that mentality 1:12:33.600 --> 1:12:36.080 because we were fighting for our respect and hip hop 1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:39.360 as is it's true to hear that they get done. 1:12:39.400 --> 1:12:41.760 It felt like it was going against that grain, but 1:12:41.920 --> 1:12:44.280 it's obviously now looking back at everything, what it's done 1:12:44.320 --> 1:12:48.680 for Latinos internationally is without saying, you know what I'm saying, no, no, 1:12:48.800 --> 1:12:50.599 I I agree with you and I know what you're 1:12:50.640 --> 1:12:52.439 talking about because I was in those days and I 1:12:52.560 --> 1:12:55.840 know it was like you don't know even when I 1:12:55.880 --> 1:13:09.800 saw you there like he so listen, this is how 1:13:09.920 --> 1:13:12.880 really was was. I would go to I want to 1:13:12.920 --> 1:13:14.400 I don't want to say America, but I would go 1:13:14.439 --> 1:13:17.120 to New York. But like, yo, why you're not playing this. 1:13:17.720 --> 1:13:19.960 You don't have to have this recket. You don't have 1:13:20.760 --> 1:13:23.880 you don't have a little soul by soul, you don't 1:13:23.920 --> 1:13:28.200 have these reckets. And they'd be like they just so 1:13:28.439 --> 1:13:30.280 the only thing I had to do was put myself 1:13:30.320 --> 1:13:33.320 in the situation. So when I did it, I for 1:13:33.640 --> 1:13:38.479 obviously I wanted UH had gold. Then when Yankee, I 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:41.560 mean after Yankee, we jumped on gas Selina and it 1:13:41.640 --> 1:13:44.479 put me to a level where it was no coming back. 1:13:45.000 --> 1:13:47.720 Everyone just looked at me like I sold out but 1:13:47.840 --> 1:13:52.040 to my own people, which was insane because I told 1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:55.640 people my first rhyme, I said, j Laulist got you, 1:13:55.800 --> 1:13:59.640 I said, I said in the beginning, I talked, I 1:13:59.720 --> 1:14:02.280 would got Blan. That's that's part me. I can't believe 1:14:02.439 --> 1:14:10.320 that guy Brol. So you have me come through crazy bro, 1:14:11.040 --> 1:14:14.200 It's funny man. World is crazy, man. I mean, you know, 1:14:14.360 --> 1:14:16.360 sometimes you see people you never think you're gonna meet 1:14:16.400 --> 1:14:19.920 him never, you know what I'm saying, Like, um, remember 1:14:20.760 --> 1:14:23.040 but you did have a deal with Pepsi.

But 1:14:47.120 --> 1:14:52.960 that's a great, great story. Um, Now, what was what 1:14:53.120 --> 1:14:55.800 was the moment when you and Yankee we spoke about 1:14:56.280 --> 1:14:58.840 a little bit and you said that you wanted to 1:14:58.880 --> 1:15:00.920 get back up for before you did it. But what 1:15:01.200 --> 1:15:03.360 was that moment where you was like, Yo, I played myself, 1:15:03.600 --> 1:15:06.400 let me let me make this right, Yeah, I mean 1:15:06.560 --> 1:15:10.040 you mean what Yankee?

Locker wasn't hard for me 1:23:28.240 --> 1:23:30.960 because I was a hustler and you like sneakers. Yeah, 1:23:31.080 --> 1:23:32.760 like listening that was good, you know what I'm saying. 1:23:32.760 --> 1:23:34.800 I feel like I was inquested with that Mango people. 1:23:36.840 --> 1:23:39.080 You got com Jorgers, girl, you're gonna buy them. Georgia, 1:23:39.080 --> 1:23:41.800 You've got your girl, Jordan. You know what I was doing. 1:23:42.040 --> 1:23:43.680 You know I was doing okay, but I felt like 1:23:43.800 --> 1:23:48.920 I was like, this ain't met. Yeah, this ain't mean. 1:23:49.200 --> 1:23:51.680 You know what I'm saying. I'm bigger than this. I'm 1:23:51.720 --> 1:23:54.439 not gonna disrespect that working a foot locker. You know 1:23:54.560 --> 1:23:56.439 I did it too, But I felt that I had 1:23:56.560 --> 1:23:59.320 so much And I when when I was seeing doing 1:23:59.400 --> 1:24:02.400 with mind out of Yankee, they we see you on dead, 1:24:02.439 --> 1:24:05.360 I said, I gotta be up there. I mean I 1:24:05.520 --> 1:24:07.720 know that I know the talent that I have. You know, 1:24:07.720 --> 1:24:10.479 what I'm saying. I mean, I'm like the very few, 1:24:11.439 --> 1:24:15.880 uh speaking. But how hard is that? Because at one 1:24:15.920 --> 1:24:19.880 point those names, as you said, they were named the Kings, 1:24:20.720 --> 1:24:23.000 but now your name is But how hard was it 1:24:23.320 --> 1:24:24.920 to come up to that? You know what I'm saying, Like, 1:24:25.200 --> 1:24:27.599 it was really hard, man, It was really hard those 1:24:27.840 --> 1:24:32.360 three Kings, right, it was like two more. You know 1:24:32.400 --> 1:24:33.720 what I'm saying. But you know, I don't want to 1:24:34.120 --> 1:24:36.439 get take nobody's credit out. But what I'm trying to 1:24:36.520 --> 1:24:39.920 say is I know I had to be top. I 1:24:40.000 --> 1:24:41.720 knew it because I know the talent to have. I mean, 1:24:42.000 --> 1:24:44.799 I'm a rapper, I could sing, I have melodies, I freestyle. 1:24:44.880 --> 1:24:47.400 I'm like I did, I did everything. Why I am 1:24:47.560 --> 1:24:49.240 not up there? And I knew. You know when you 1:24:49.360 --> 1:24:52.439 know you can see somebody playing basketball and you know 1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:54.200 that I'm giving you an example. You know you could 1:24:54.240 --> 1:24:57.519 take him and he's on top, and you like, what 1:24:57.560 --> 1:24:59.880 do you mean I'm better than this dude. I'm not 1:25:00.040 --> 1:25:02.800 saying that I'm better than than than Thong or they 1:25:02.840 --> 1:25:05.479 go like Yankee like no, that the top dogs, But 1:25:05.600 --> 1:25:08.280 I know I could be there with that, and you 1:25:08.360 --> 1:25:10.439 know that that made me work harder you know what 1:25:10.479 --> 1:25:14.479 I'm saying. But the situation that happened with you know, 1:25:14.600 --> 1:25:16.080 when I got funked up because of the drugs and 1:25:16.400 --> 1:25:20.519 health wise, helped me appreciate every every time I was 1:25:20.600 --> 1:25:22.920 in the studio, every song. And that's why I got 1:25:23.000 --> 1:25:24.840 so focused, you know what I'm saying, Because I thought 1:25:24.840 --> 1:25:27.240 I was gonna lose my life. So that made me 1:25:27.360 --> 1:25:30.040 really get on it. You know what I'm saying. Puerto 1:25:30.120 --> 1:25:32.880 Rico is probably the only place I got ever offered 1:25:32.920 --> 1:25:38.759 heroin in my life. But I've been all over the world. 1:25:39.080 --> 1:25:46.240 No one said he probably no one has ever than 1:25:46.360 --> 1:25:49.200 that to me. I mean, you know, it's like everywhere. Man. 1:25:49.240 --> 1:25:52.560 You know, Puerto Rico is a very beautiful country and 1:25:53.000 --> 1:25:58.920 it has beach, has a lot of beautiful things, a 1:25:58.960 --> 1:26:02.120 lot of beautiful, hard working people coaching that. But tell me, 1:26:02.240 --> 1:26:05.760 but it has a stark fun you would never move 1:26:05.840 --> 1:26:08.200 back to Puerto Rico. I will never move back to 1:26:08.280 --> 1:26:13.160 Puerto Rico. That's a good question. Um, I'm gonna tell 1:26:13.160 --> 1:26:15.000 you this. I'm gonna tell you why I will never 1:26:15.120 --> 1:26:17.360 move to Puerto Rico. No disrespect to my to my 1:26:17.560 --> 1:26:20.479 bouty and my country. It reminds me a lot of 1:26:20.560 --> 1:26:24.240 my of my bad moments, it's just that they got 1:26:24.320 --> 1:26:26.559 nothing to do with with the country. I love my country. 1:26:26.640 --> 1:26:29.799 It's crazy because Columbia mind your beautiful moments and everyone 1:26:29.880 --> 1:26:32.400 else in life that reminds me a lot of that 1:26:33.160 --> 1:26:36.639 reminds me of that. And and you know it when 1:26:36.680 --> 1:26:39.360 I go I enjoy it to three days. I enjoy 1:26:39.479 --> 1:26:42.840 it in New York. But it's it's, you know, it 1:26:42.960 --> 1:26:45.320 just it reminds me because I went through a lot 1:26:45.400 --> 1:26:48.120 of bad things in Puerto Rico. It's not Puerto Rico's fault. 1:26:48.560 --> 1:26:51.160 It's my fault, but I went through it. So you 1:26:51.960 --> 1:26:53.839 don't want to go back to a place that reminds 1:26:53.880 --> 1:26:56.040 you of all that bad energy and all that ship 1:26:56.160 --> 1:26:58.320 that you went through, even though it was my fault. 1:26:58.920 --> 1:27:01.639 So you know, I don't see me living in Puerto Rico, 1:27:01.760 --> 1:27:04.559 not now, probably when I'm older, you know what I'm saying, 1:27:04.560 --> 1:27:06.479 because it is a beautiful country, like you know, like 1:27:06.600 --> 1:27:09.040 there's a lot of things that you laying without the eights, 1:27:09.080 --> 1:27:12.160 you know, like the beaches, crystal clear water white saying 1:27:12.240 --> 1:27:14.920 you know we just went to Vegas, right, Yeah, I 1:27:15.000 --> 1:27:20.519 liked it that. Yeah, that's from my you know, from 1:27:20.600 --> 1:27:29.880 like damn from you know, and that's what that's the movie. 1:27:29.920 --> 1:27:31.880 Let me just tell you something, bro, And I want 1:27:31.880 --> 1:27:33.639 to admit this right now because you know why I'm 1:27:33.640 --> 1:27:38.679 gonna get this from you. I was mad. I felt 1:27:38.720 --> 1:27:40.880 like a sponge. I felt like a sponge that was 1:27:41.040 --> 1:27:47.839 used right because I really put reggae throng before before everybody. 1:27:47.840 --> 1:27:49.320 I put it. I put it on the forefront for me. 1:27:49.880 --> 1:27:51.960 Am I messing up with the sound. I hit my chest, 1:27:52.320 --> 1:27:55.040 all right, cool? Cool? So when I didn't see the 1:27:55.160 --> 1:28:00.839 love back, I got thetter. So you know, I making jokes. 1:28:01.240 --> 1:28:02.920 You know, me and Joe might have said some couple 1:28:02.960 --> 1:28:04.920 of things about that and get keeping the real, keeping 1:28:04.960 --> 1:28:06.200 it real week. I don't know if you heard it. 1:28:07.439 --> 1:28:11.960 I heard it Joe definitely, and I co signed. I 1:28:12.040 --> 1:28:18.200 was there. I love Yankee, Me, I love Yankee. We 1:28:18.280 --> 1:28:21.400 haven't spoke. We haven't spoke, but I'm not I'm not. Uh, 1:28:22.200 --> 1:28:24.840 what do I say, like if I don't speak to 1:28:24.880 --> 1:28:27.720 you for two years, however we left it that two years, 1:28:27.720 --> 1:28:30.400 I'm gonna be that same way. That's me, that's who 1:28:30.600 --> 1:28:33.920 I am. But if you change on me, I'm gonna 1:28:34.000 --> 1:28:38.640 take it personal because I especially for him. I sacrificed 1:28:38.880 --> 1:28:40.720 and I never told him what I sacrificed because he 1:28:40.720 --> 1:28:42.560 didn't deserve. Not to say he didn't deserve it. He 1:28:42.600 --> 1:28:45.040 did deserve it, know it. But I did it. I 1:28:45.080 --> 1:28:47.599 didn't do it for him. I did it for the movement. 1:28:48.840 --> 1:28:51.920 The movement was bigger than me. I knew. I knew 1:28:52.320 --> 1:28:54.840 that you will be sitting here. I knew that, you know. 1:28:55.880 --> 1:28:58.560 I knew you guys. I knew Reggae throw would be 1:28:58.560 --> 1:29:00.599 the biggest ship in the world. I knew that ten 1:29:00.720 --> 1:29:07.599 years ago. Ten years ago, you can get some boys. Yeah, yeah, 1:29:07.760 --> 1:29:13.000 I'm sorry, I'm yeah, you're spip TV. We sacrificed so much. 1:29:13.680 --> 1:29:17.120 I'm talking about we put so much because I didn't 1:29:17.160 --> 1:29:20.439 want to be wrong. And ship was if they're gonna 1:29:20.520 --> 1:29:22.920 flip with me and they're gonna cut me off, and 1:29:23.040 --> 1:29:25.800 guess what, let me be right for it. Let me 1:29:25.880 --> 1:29:27.800 not be wrong. So I just kept going, kept going. 1:29:27.880 --> 1:29:30.320 And that's why you know I jumped on reggae throwing Latino. 1:29:30.640 --> 1:29:32.640 You know, boy Wonder up and said, you know, the 1:29:32.680 --> 1:29:34.599 boy went no, no, no. I did with Daddy. Yankee 1:29:34.600 --> 1:29:36.800 taught me I don't want the money, boy, Wonder you 1:29:36.920 --> 1:29:38.760 take that let me jump that and do it. And 1:29:38.840 --> 1:29:40.960 I started to do that, and I really really really 1:29:41.000 --> 1:29:43.639 really really sacrifice. So when I didn't get that lot back, 1:29:43.720 --> 1:29:45.559 I'm sorry. It looks like his bottom you something put 1:29:45.600 --> 1:29:51.400 it out.

So I kind of 1:30:03.280 --> 1:30:05.120 was better and and it was fucked up at me 1:30:05.560 --> 1:30:08.720 because I learned from you from watching um that I 1:30:08.800 --> 1:30:12.640 was the only better. I was better a Yankee. I 1:30:12.800 --> 1:30:15.320 was better with the gregge thrown community, and I was 1:30:15.400 --> 1:30:20.160 better with the island for something that was terrible. I 1:30:20.320 --> 1:30:22.840 was bugging, you know what I mean. I said it 1:30:22.880 --> 1:30:24.360 to my friend Ike the other day. I said, I 1:30:24.680 --> 1:30:26.320 was a little I said, I said, this is how 1:30:26.360 --> 1:30:29.360 good Nikki James movie is. But that's good that he's 1:30:29.360 --> 1:30:31.920 saying this. He made me miss Puerto Rico, that you're 1:30:31.960 --> 1:30:34.479 saying this, and you're saying this on the camera. You 1:30:34.520 --> 1:30:37.760 know what I'm saying, And uh, you know, and and 1:30:37.920 --> 1:30:39.720 you know and and that a Yankee is he's a 1:30:39.800 --> 1:30:41.560 good man. He's a man. He's a man with a 1:30:41.640 --> 1:30:43.360 lot of good values. You know what I'm saying was 1:30:43.439 --> 1:30:45.439 to throw me back, like when it was time, like 1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:47.519 when I like at the time the end of the day, 1:30:47.800 --> 1:30:49.639 I didn't use him, he didn't use me. We use 1:30:49.720 --> 1:30:51.840 each other to go to that level. And once we 1:30:51.960 --> 1:30:54.880 both got to a level, all I wanted was all 1:30:55.000 --> 1:31:02.000 ja Poppy, that's it that I got. I don't need 1:31:02.120 --> 1:31:03.840 like that. I'm good. I'm a hustle I always. I've 1:31:03.880 --> 1:31:05.840 been who I am before they get throwing them gonna 1:31:05.840 --> 1:31:07.919 be who I am after reggae throw No, I understanding. 1:31:07.920 --> 1:31:09.760 That's all I wanted, you know. And at that time, 1:31:09.800 --> 1:31:13.200 when I see you in um the jeweler, yeah, the 1:31:13.280 --> 1:31:15.200 jew I saw you with the jewel and I said, 1:31:15.240 --> 1:31:17.560 and I said, damn, you know Nicky jam coming he 1:31:17.960 --> 1:31:28.960 ships watched, so I'm looking and I'm like, damn, and 1:31:29.040 --> 1:31:31.519 I know, I know it's your brother. I know. I 1:31:31.560 --> 1:31:34.080 didn't know how to approach you. Yeah, so I didn't know. 1:31:34.080 --> 1:31:35.800 I was like, okay, and he's like, he's like pop. 1:31:36.360 --> 1:31:38.160 And when we took each other's number, but I still 1:31:38.200 --> 1:31:40.960 I didn't know how to approach you. And it wasn't 1:31:41.000 --> 1:31:45.639 until I watched the movie. When I watched the ship 1:31:45.880 --> 1:31:48.000 no man, like I said, he's a he's a good guy, bro. 1:31:48.160 --> 1:31:50.679 And then I'm sure that you guys would work anything 1:31:50.720 --> 1:31:53.320 out and talking, you're gonna find each other's little nice 1:31:53.400 --> 1:31:56.920 With me, I don't have no problem. It's just I 1:31:57.080 --> 1:31:59.360 was at that point I was disappointing. You know what 1:31:59.400 --> 1:32:03.120 I'm saying is I just felt like, you know, what 1:32:03.280 --> 1:32:06.080 I did was sacrifice alive. But it wasn't for him. 1:32:06.160 --> 1:32:08.960 It was for the movement. So when he but probably 1:32:09.040 --> 1:32:12.400 if he listens to you, like yeah, so when he's 1:32:13.280 --> 1:32:16.080 you know, you didn't know your story, Yeah, there you go. 1:32:16.320 --> 1:32:26.400 He probably just saw I was elicondandor.

I appreciate it because 1:32:28.840 --> 1:32:33.000 it wasn't It wasn't some remarkable ship that made me 1:32:33.040 --> 1:32:36.360 feel different. It was your story. When I sat there, 1:32:36.680 --> 1:32:39.880 I said, cocks, Oh my god, I love it. I 1:32:40.000 --> 1:32:41.640 missed the cheach it on the point come west.

We're all we're all brothers in 1:34:05.040 --> 1:34:07.680 a different way. So the thing about it is and 1:34:07.760 --> 1:34:11.160 we're all bosses, we're all man. So guess what it 1:34:11.240 --> 1:34:13.679 could be misunderstood. I don't think I don't think Daddy 1:34:13.880 --> 1:34:16.160 is a bad person at all. Oh hell no, no, no, no, no, no. 1:34:17.240 --> 1:34:21.839 He's strict with his business because he keeps a close circle. 1:34:22.240 --> 1:34:25.680 Even if he's like a jay Z in the spassages. 1:34:26.160 --> 1:34:28.040 Even when you look at me and Joe joking, if 1:34:28.080 --> 1:34:29.840 you look at this, she always say, but that's my man. 1:34:29.920 --> 1:34:32.280 Still love him. I still say that because because you 1:34:32.320 --> 1:34:35.200 know we're joking, like I don't get to see you, 1:34:35.240 --> 1:34:37.240 don't get to speak to you. But let's get back 1:34:37.280 --> 1:34:41.160 to you right now. So you've never you said you 1:34:41.280 --> 1:34:44.439 never felt that chance to quit? And how about have 1:34:44.520 --> 1:34:47.000 you ever felt that chance when you felt better? Other 1:34:47.080 --> 1:34:50.120 than Daddy Yankee but other artists. No, man, I've never 1:34:50.240 --> 1:34:52.240 had that mentality. I always knew that if I was 1:34:52.280 --> 1:34:54.960 sucked up, it was my fault. You know what I'm saying. 1:34:55.080 --> 1:34:57.840 I always thought it was my fault. And uh, the 1:34:57.920 --> 1:35:01.040 mentality that I had was just I'm gonna earn my 1:35:01.160 --> 1:35:04.599 spot because sometimes you always mad with a lot of things. 1:35:04.640 --> 1:35:06.680 You want collaborations, you want people to help you. But 1:35:07.040 --> 1:35:10.040 come on, man, you can't retire the game of baseball 1:35:10.080 --> 1:35:11.439 and come back and say you want to play with 1:35:11.520 --> 1:35:14.320 the New York Yankees, you gotta do, you gotta do, 1:35:14.400 --> 1:35:17.519 you gotta start again to go pro. So that's the 1:35:17.560 --> 1:35:19.200 way I saw it. I was just being real. I 1:35:19.240 --> 1:35:22.479 can't take it personal. So my mentality was like, I'm 1:35:22.520 --> 1:35:25.479 gonna do good and I'm ready to you know, I'm 1:35:25.560 --> 1:35:28.200 ready to play when you got back on top. Now, 1:35:28.320 --> 1:35:30.960 this is real ship. You ever want the front or 1:35:31.000 --> 1:35:40.280 somebody come on, But it's But I did it in 1:35:40.360 --> 1:35:42.680 a different way. I didn't do it the way that 1:35:42.880 --> 1:35:46.800 everybody thought. Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't do it the 1:35:46.800 --> 1:35:48.960 way everybody thought I was gonna do it. I did 1:35:49.040 --> 1:35:52.160 collapse with them. I helped them in the moment that 1:35:52.240 --> 1:35:55.000 they needed it and charged them two d because I 1:35:56.200 --> 1:35:58.920 went free and I hooked them up and I gave 1:35:59.000 --> 1:36:01.160 them the masters and I showed him. That's how Jesus 1:36:01.280 --> 1:36:11.519 Christ is. Jesus Christ Mo mentality heavy duty. The part 1:36:11.560 --> 1:36:13.960 of the someone says, part of the song says, uh 1:36:14.280 --> 1:36:20.040 the song I said, um, I I said that in 1:36:20.080 --> 1:36:22.320 the song. You know what I'm saying, Like, Bro, I didn't. 1:36:22.320 --> 1:36:24.680 I didn't pay people with the same ship they gave me, 1:36:25.080 --> 1:36:27.240 because that's what they expect you. You got to show 1:36:27.320 --> 1:36:30.479 people what what kind of man would I be if 1:36:30.520 --> 1:36:32.800 I do the exact fucked up ship that you did 1:36:32.920 --> 1:36:35.479 to me. Well, I'm gonna show you that you did 1:36:35.560 --> 1:36:38.320 it right. You know what I'm saying. So I'm on 1:36:38.479 --> 1:36:41.680 top right now. I'm gonna educate you. I'm gonna show 1:36:41.680 --> 1:36:43.280 you no, no, no, this is what you needed to do. 1:36:44.360 --> 1:36:47.040 You needed to help me, like I'm helping you. So 1:36:47.200 --> 1:36:49.720 now you have the knowledge that I gave you, and 1:36:49.800 --> 1:36:52.120 you have the education, and now when you're gonna help 1:36:52.200 --> 1:36:55.759 somebody else. So I'm spreading love and I'm spending education 1:36:55.840 --> 1:36:59.480 to the world instead of spending the same fucking mentality. 1:36:59.840 --> 1:37:01.320 I don't want to. I don't want people to come 1:37:01.360 --> 1:37:03.200 in and be like, yeah, see, I knew he was 1:37:03.240 --> 1:37:05.280 gonna suck me up like that funk that nigga. No no, 1:37:05.400 --> 1:37:08.479 no no. I want people to say, damn you know 1:37:08.640 --> 1:37:12.920 you helped me. I love that face. I love that 1:37:13.040 --> 1:37:16.160 face more than stunning on you in front of I 1:37:16.320 --> 1:37:20.560 love seeing you going like yo, bro, thank you. It 1:37:20.680 --> 1:37:22.640 makes me feel good. I want to help people. I 1:37:22.640 --> 1:37:30.240 don't want to be the same piece of saying it's 1:37:30.240 --> 1:37:32.920 all about the one thing we got to your watch game. 1:37:32.960 --> 1:37:36.280 Your watch game is very serious. But I watched I 1:37:36.400 --> 1:37:44.880 watched in the beginning of a watch In the beginning, 1:37:45.040 --> 1:37:47.920 you were very honest. You didn't have a crazy watch 1:37:48.120 --> 1:37:52.640 on as a young Nikki jan No, I didn't. But 1:37:52.760 --> 1:37:55.480 then once you got up there, you had that scudding 1:37:55.560 --> 1:38:02.840 a bust down not the thing of the thinon. Uh. 1:38:04.560 --> 1:38:06.640 I love watches. I always thought since I was a kid, 1:38:06.720 --> 1:38:09.120 to watch makes a man. It doesn't matter to watch. 1:38:09.200 --> 1:38:11.559 You got you just got you got something. You need 1:38:11.680 --> 1:38:13.960 something on your wrist, you know what I'm saying. So 1:38:14.880 --> 1:38:16.800 I don't know because I'm I'm forty years or or 1:38:16.920 --> 1:38:20.559 something like, I'm gonna be honest with you, forty son. 1:38:21.200 --> 1:38:23.120 There's a change that I was wearing.

And then 1:38:40.360 --> 1:38:43.160 when I sat here like can I take my ship off? Yo? 1:38:43.320 --> 1:38:45.800 But I can't just I can't have changed anymore. But 1:38:45.920 --> 1:38:52.360 I feel like I'm too costrophobic for that ship. But 1:38:52.479 --> 1:38:55.400 the watches everything. Man, I look at everybody's watching when 1:38:55.400 --> 1:38:57.439 I talk sometimes and business.

But the thing is, 1:56:21.000 --> 1:56:23.400 I didn't want you to take it as if you know, 1:56:24.160 --> 1:56:28.120 like because I did those shots at that world for 1:56:28.440 --> 1:56:32.200 some time because what I was going through.

You know, not one 1:57:01.960 --> 1:57:04.000 thing in the movie, and this is probably one thing 1:57:04.040 --> 1:57:06.000 in the movie, is they never showed like when you 1:57:06.080 --> 1:57:08.960 go from no tattoos and then you go from these tattoos. 1:57:09.200 --> 1:57:11.960 Was that something that you you missed on purpose?
