Speaker 7: The real mothers around the world that was allowing their

Speaker 7: because they knew I guess they knew that I didn't
Speaker 7: really mean no harm.
Speaker 9: I just was I was the young voice.

Speaker 1: I'm literally out of breath from just being on the

Speaker 13: I don't leaders on.
Speaker 4: Where'd you grow up?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: Where were you born? LBC?
Speaker 9: I grew up in Long Beach, California, on the east
Speaker 9: side of Long Beach.
Speaker 4: Okay, And what was your when you were first started? Like?
Speaker 4: What was music like in your household?
Speaker 7: In my household, music was like brothers. My mama loved
Speaker 7: some Teddy Pendergrass, Oh Jay stylistics, Uh, Manhattan's the dramatic, definitely.
Speaker 1: Band, the daily black nutrients dipped in the sauce.
Speaker 9: Man Okay, Well.
Speaker 1: Shock is like what what Jawn like? Straight Philly? What Join?
Speaker 13: What all right?
Speaker 1: What John like? Would you would we be shocked that
Speaker 1: you listened to that was outside of the lane of
Speaker 1: what you're known for. Listening to your Cadillac music like what.
Speaker 7: I loved Rod story was hot to me when I
Speaker 7: was young. He was dope, Like I loved his get down,
Speaker 7: like the way he sung his he seemed like he
Speaker 7: was singing off what he was on and and and
Speaker 7: it seemed like he was on the wrong bar, but
Speaker 7: he was always in the right you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: Position Like I love the way his voice down.
Speaker 5: He had.
Speaker 9: Told me I loved me.
Speaker 6: Now, did you have any siblings growing up? It's not
Speaker 6: two brothers, you youngest, older older brother and a younger brother.
Speaker 7: And then my mother adopted my cousin and we made
Speaker 7: him my brother, so it was four boys in the house,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, raised by one single mother.
Speaker 7: Music was key, but I probably was the only one
Speaker 7: that like really had a knack for it, like was
Speaker 7: singing the.
Speaker 9: Choir and.
Speaker 7: Talent shows, rapping other people raps like the Sugarhill Gang
Speaker 7: and Jimmy Spicer when they first came out, I learned
Speaker 7: all that they raps and shit because I was like
Speaker 7: these niggas fly. So I learned all they raps and
Speaker 7: went to school and was just put my name and
Speaker 7: they raps. Like that was like my first you know
Speaker 7: intervention with me trying to become a rapper, listening to
Speaker 7: good music and seeing if I could emulate it, and
Speaker 7: not being afraid of doing in front of people, even
Speaker 7: though if I was whack real good.
Speaker 1: So when did you first start realizing that you had
Speaker 1: a knack or a gift for them seeing or singing,
Speaker 1: or you know, just overall talent. When did you realize.
Speaker 9: Eighty six eighty five I was cool.
Speaker 7: I was a you know, basic rapper, you know, rapping
Speaker 7: about cars and swimming pools and shit. I didn't have
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, you know, the old basic
Speaker 7: wrap back then in the beginning, I got a big
Speaker 7: old house and a big old card right, and they
Speaker 7: didn't have nothing right, you know what I'm saying. Then
Speaker 7: I gradually grew into you know, style, like what style
Speaker 7: do I want to use? And watching the study and
Speaker 7: the greats and listening to how they vocals and how
Speaker 7: they controlled the microphone, not just what they was, but
Speaker 7: their vocal tones. There was a lot of studying that
Speaker 7: went in the you know what I was doing. I
Speaker 7: wasn't just trying to be a regular rapper. I wanted
Speaker 7: to be great. I wanted to like find ways to
Speaker 7: perfect styles and perfect things that nobody had done. But
Speaker 7: at the same time watching people who inspired me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always heard you say that slick Rick was
Speaker 4: on your.
Speaker 7: Face, my man, love them to death, and that's still
Speaker 7: one of my an to this day. Like when I
Speaker 7: got a chance to meet him, he became my friend.
Speaker 7: And it's like to have somebody like that that you
Speaker 7: idolized and that you were able to finally get a
Speaker 7: relationship with. It's beautiful because he's very you know, unique,
Speaker 7: And I still look at him as the same slick
Speaker 7: Rick when I was a kid, because he still dressed
Speaker 7: fresh and honey, chains On still got the coldest conversation
Speaker 7: and he remained him at all times, and that was
Speaker 7: like helpful to me to find out who I was
Speaker 7: and try to remain me and not try to get
Speaker 7: caught up in the phase with rapping hard or rapping
Speaker 7: fast or rapping loud, because when I was coming out,
Speaker 7: most rappers was rapping like aggressive and hard and last yeah,
Speaker 7: very aggressive. It was a couple of smooth ones, but
Speaker 7: not the pocket I was trying to find.
Speaker 1: So well, what slick Rick though, I mean, your your
Speaker 1: your bartune is also key to your your low voice,
Speaker 1: your baratune is key to your delivery. But I mean,
Speaker 1: how did you did you finesse that style that you
Speaker 1: have now? Snarl? I wouldn't know how to. It's somewhere
Speaker 1: between snaggle Puss flick Rick.
Speaker 9: And I think what it is.
Speaker 7: Bosi Conent said it was like a cartoon mine. He like,
Speaker 7: you got a cartoon mine. So a lot of times
Speaker 7: when you rap and the voices that you hear will
Speaker 7: be you know, cartoon related. You know, some sort of
Speaker 7: cartoon that I may have heard or seen as a kid,
Speaker 7: and I emulate that and put that vocal into my
Speaker 7: rap with the delivery. Like you said snaggle Puss like
Speaker 7: because to me, because the way he talked, it's sort
Speaker 7: of kind of like the way I swing it when
Speaker 7: I'm rapping.
Speaker 1: Right, So even as a teen you had this style developed.
Speaker 7: Nah, hell no, I would hate for you niggas to
Speaker 7: hear the met music, all right, That's what I'm trying
Speaker 7: to lead to. Might know, you know some niggas be like, well,
Speaker 7: coming up the nineteen eighty seven version when you were
Speaker 7: Snoop rock Ski and you thought you what was your
Speaker 7: first name, Snoop rock Ski?
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, got wrong with.
Speaker 7: That shit for a minute.
Speaker 1: It's weird though, I mean because it's most most West Coast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: most West coast cats I know won't even admit to
Speaker 1: having any sort of East Coast in Floridenace.
Speaker 7: Fuck that, nigga. We loved everything about the East Coast.
Speaker 7: If you don't knock it off, nigga, y'all niggas was
Speaker 7: the pavement to all walking on shit.
Speaker 9: Nigga.
Speaker 7: We wanted to be like y'all with the belt buckles,
Speaker 7: the mink coats, the bomber jackets, the motherfucker cane goals,
Speaker 7: the gold chains, all of that shit. We wanted to
Speaker 7: be what y'all was because y'all created that. And I
Speaker 7: say y'all, I say the East in general, because they
Speaker 7: from Philadelphia to New York, Nigga from Steady Bee, the
Speaker 7: motherfucking all these niggas that had all that flavor in
Speaker 7: that style. We watched that and then we emulated and
Speaker 7: put our own flavor on it. That's how the hip
Speaker 7: hop game was created. Somebody had to start it, somebody
Speaker 7: had to see it and then add their pieces on
Speaker 7: what they saw, and then that's what created hip hop.
Speaker 7: That's why it's growing into different nations now. That's why
Speaker 7: people in different countries do hip hop. They can even
Speaker 7: speak English, but they do hip hop.
Speaker 1: What was the first show that you've ever seen? Contract wise? Music?
Speaker 13: Hip Hop?
Speaker 4: Or the Wiz?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 7: What the Whiz? In nineteen seventy nine, when Stephanie Mills
Speaker 7: was playing.
Speaker 12: On I saw that one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that ship was Dope Man, Dope Wow Lie, who
Speaker 6: took you mom?
Speaker 4: So you see it?
Speaker 7: You know it was like a church thing, and that's
Speaker 7: when I was a good boy, and you know, you know,
Speaker 7: the church got us a couple of tickets to go
Speaker 7: through the Wiz. You know we're gonna take brother snowby
Speaker 7: Waters too. He's been acting good in church. You know
Speaker 7: you're gonna water.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 13: So hip hop wise, what was the first show you saw?
Speaker 7: Run DMC? First Fresh Past, Yeah, eighty okay, I remember
Speaker 7: when we shut that ship down? I was gonna ask
Speaker 7: was it the Long Beach show that?
Speaker 9: Yep?
Speaker 7: Can you tell?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: All the the idea of a riot breaking out at
Speaker 1: a hip hop concert, I'll never forget, Like the coverage
Speaker 1: and write on magazine was like they had to. I
Speaker 1: remember Vanessa Williams was even at the show for some reason.
Speaker 1: But now I know Russell Simmons the way I know him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course Vanessa Williams was there, but they had to
Speaker 1: give it like a press conference and the whole ideal
Speaker 1: rapp being violent or whatever, like.
Speaker 9: They put my city on the line.
Speaker 1: It started with this ship. That's how I know what
Speaker 1: Long Beach is. Well, when you do retcall what happened
Speaker 1: at the show.
Speaker 7: Like it was a youngster, I probably was like thirteen fourteen.
Speaker 7: I couldn't get in, so I ended up sneaking in
Speaker 7: one of the homies and when I got in, they.
Speaker 13: Just didn't have no security.
Speaker 7: Like no, it was a good It was a.
Speaker 9: Good show, was tight. It was like LLL Houdini and
Speaker 9: all of them.
Speaker 7: But what the problem was it was some La Niggas
Speaker 7: that came down to Long Beach, and the La Niggas
Speaker 7: was basically known for just you know when you go
Speaker 7: to La they fucked the concerts up and you know
Speaker 7: they run everything. They came to Long Beach and didn't
Speaker 7: realize we was deep and we was we was all
Speaker 7: one gang at one time, was three different gangs and
Speaker 7: Loan Beach, but they all was together at that particular time.
Speaker 7: And when they tried to come and do some shit.
Speaker 7: It happened to be doing the intermission and I spoke
Speaker 7: with Leora to find out exactly what the moment was.
Speaker 7: Leora told me he was like it was a break
Speaker 7: between acts, and when the acts would have a break,
Speaker 7: they wouldn't have a DJ and nobody playing on music,
Speaker 7: and it just went black on stage. And that's when
Speaker 7: niggas seeing each other and was like, I think it
Speaker 7: was between LLL and Houdini as LLL came out with
Speaker 7: all red on and our city is all crips we
Speaker 7: didn't have and that's when bloods and crips wasn't cool
Speaker 7: at all. Like now it's way better, but back then
Speaker 7: it was no dialogue, no understanding that when he came
Speaker 7: out with that red on, niggas.
Speaker 1: Was like that was problematic.
Speaker 9: He waned them, you.
Speaker 7: Know what I'm saying, Like it was shit that was
Speaker 7: going on from that perspective, And then that the La
Speaker 7: Niggas came and tried to push up in Loan Beach,
Speaker 7: and the Loan Beach Niggas had to defend their turf
Speaker 7: and the it was some essays there and it was
Speaker 7: just a bunch of mayhem that had nothing to do
Speaker 7: with the concert, and it fucked the concert up and
Speaker 7: they put our city on the map for all the
Speaker 7: wrong reasons.
Speaker 9: But then I came and cleaned it.
Speaker 13: Up all right.
Speaker 1: So, speaking speaking of those early tapes that you made,
Speaker 1: how did you like was two one three your first project?
Speaker 1: What was your first development actually in doing tape sting?
Speaker 7: No, my first development was probably eighty three. It was
Speaker 7: a rapper named Captain Rap a long but she had
Speaker 7: a song called bad Times.
Speaker 13: Oh Captain Rap from Long Jimmy Jam.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So he lived his mama lived on Alm Street, which
Speaker 7: was like the gang Bang Street, twenty first in Alm Street,
Speaker 7: and I lived on twenty third Lungcus, which was like
Speaker 7: three or four blocks away, and I heard that Captain
Speaker 7: Rap was over there.
Speaker 9: So I had made a cassette.
Speaker 7: You know, you push record and play that old school
Speaker 7: shit with you know what I'm saying, rapping into the cassette.
Speaker 13: Yeah, did that?
Speaker 7: Did like about five songs. They was all whack went
Speaker 7: over the Sea the nigga and he listened to him.
Speaker 7: He was like, Nah, you ain't ready. You need to
Speaker 7: buy Whooping the game he game.
Speaker 4: He was.
Speaker 7: I appreciated that because now I hear him and see
Speaker 7: him in real life right now today, and I remember
Speaker 7: how he treated me and how he was to me
Speaker 7: on some real shit like and he was like the
Speaker 7: first rapper from Loan Beach to have a song out,
Speaker 7: but at the same time, he didn't have no more
Speaker 7: songs out. So when I listened to his song, I
Speaker 7: was like, Okay, I want to make a hit, but
Speaker 7: I don't want to just make one hit, you know
Speaker 7: what I'm saying, Like I'm gonna learn from this, like
Speaker 7: fuck that, I'm too greedy.
Speaker 9: I want more.
Speaker 1: So he was just pimping that one song. I got
Speaker 1: no follow up and just nothing else.
Speaker 7: I don't know what happened, you know. Around that time,
Speaker 7: West Coast Rap was limited.
Speaker 9: That was like fast. West Coast Rap was like bad.
Speaker 7: Times, that's what we was rapping like that, you know
Speaker 7: what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: So that shit came and went and.
Speaker 13: Then an effect on you.
Speaker 7: Tidy T is one of the coaches in my football league. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he me and he'd been friends for the past twenty
Speaker 7: five years. But Tody T had a real big effect
Speaker 7: because I was a drug dealer and the bad around
Speaker 7: was really real, like we would really see it come
Speaker 7: through the neighborhoods in that song was so symbolic to
Speaker 7: West Coast music because it was like the first time
Speaker 7: that we had a record that it was about us
Speaker 7: and the ship we was going through that everybody on
Speaker 7: the West could relate to that was selling drugs, and
Speaker 7: most drug dealers became rappers. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 7: because that's what Tardy TNM was. They were drug dealers
Speaker 7: that were rappers. It just so happened to be making
Speaker 7: music because they were like, like we got a spare time,
Speaker 7: that's mixing music. It was him and another rapper, Nayed
Speaker 7: mixed Master Spade.
Speaker 9: That was the ship.
Speaker 7: He used to rap like he was in church, like
Speaker 7: welcome part.
Speaker 9: Of people in some class year.
Speaker 7: Here got the ladies in the front and whole raps
Speaker 7: sound like.
Speaker 9: It was cold with it.
Speaker 1: I gotta look at he had singles out yeahs yes, sir,
Speaker 1: okay maybe for n w A.
Speaker 7: They were they were the ones before we n WA's
Speaker 7: like they was from Compton. They was representing that gangster shit.
Speaker 7: They was real drug dealers. Theyre the ones, not the tools.
Speaker 1: Did you have any experience like any Uncle Jam situations
Speaker 1: or any of.
Speaker 7: Those actually Uncle Jam Roger Clayton Rest in Peace, came
Speaker 7: to Long Beach in nineteen ninety and was working a
Speaker 7: club called the Toe Jams. And that's what me and
Speaker 7: Domino used to rap at. You know, Domino ye together.
Speaker 7: We was rapping Theirs and the Twins and Warren g
Speaker 7: and the whole little click.
Speaker 9: We was all rapping there.
Speaker 7: And he kind of like knew that me and Domino
Speaker 7: had some special because he would always separate us and
Speaker 7: let us like come in a little booth. He had
Speaker 7: like a space boof in the air, like old school shit,
Speaker 7: like up here, but it's over the ground, and he
Speaker 7: would let us come up in there and let us wrap.
Speaker 7: And it's like you could tell that he knew that
Speaker 7: we were special. And I didn't even know this motherfucker
Speaker 7: was Uncle Jam until after the fact, because he wasn't like,
Speaker 7: I'm Uncle James, just like it's Roger Clayton. Then I
Speaker 7: was telling people, yeah, I did this with right, They're like, nigga,
Speaker 7: you know Uncle Jam? Like what was Uncle Jam?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: When did this party start? I've heard of his parties,
Speaker 1: but I just don't know.
Speaker 9: The seventies, late seventies.
Speaker 13: Oh he went back that far. Okay, I think.
Speaker 7: George Clinton blessed him. I think George Clinton was like,
Speaker 7: you know what, you the young gut here in La
Speaker 7: that's pushing and promoting my ship and doing that thing.
Speaker 7: And I think he took it on and say all right,
Speaker 7: I'm Uncle Jam.
Speaker 9: I understand you.
Speaker 7: I'm Uncle Jam's army because I'm part of you know,
Speaker 7: what George and them is doing, and I'm just a
Speaker 7: culmination of it. Like you know how it is. They
Speaker 7: inspired us everything, Uncle Jam. It's funk based. Everything that
Speaker 7: we do is funk based because those were the originators
Speaker 7: of what we love. Damn Rick James, Yeah, being the
Speaker 7: whole funk man.
Speaker 6: Can you explain to us the importance of the roodium
Speaker 6: and like what that was heard all me?
Speaker 4: It was a flea market, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7: A flea market, but it was the spot that NWA made.
Speaker 7: They first like mixtapes that really broke ice, like Dope Man,
Speaker 7: Gangster Against All. That ship was in there first, like
Speaker 7: on mixed tapes. So they was like there making like
Speaker 7: songs with Cube would be rapping and Dre would be
Speaker 7: on the turntables and it was like jacking for beats
Speaker 7: before Jack and for Beasts, you.
Speaker 9: Know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: But Doctor Dre was doing the mixing and taking niggas
Speaker 7: beats and Ice Cube was rapping and sucking it up,
Speaker 7: and they was wrapping Gangster Ship. And back then it
Speaker 7: was it wasn't common to rap Gangster Ship.
Speaker 8: More.
Speaker 7: More rappers were, you know, rapping the right way or
Speaker 7: you know tra correct. Yeah, like Kara rest More didn't
Speaker 7: give a fuck.
Speaker 9: He was going hard. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: He was one nigga just ice didn't give a fuck.
Speaker 7: He was hard, you know what I'm saying. It was
Speaker 7: certain niggas that just didn't care. Ice t didn't give
Speaker 7: a fuck. He was hard. But some of them was
Speaker 7: just like you know, Rock Kim was hard. But I
Speaker 7: never heard him cuss, right, I wanted to hear.
Speaker 4: Him except.
Speaker 13: On the original of My Melody he says, pull up
Speaker 13: a chair, and.
Speaker 7: I ain't ship. I want him to motherfucker give me
Speaker 7: some good shit. Right.
Speaker 1: So for for those tapes, like, were you an ardent
Speaker 1: collector of him? Like, as far as Doctor Dre's concerned,
Speaker 1: were you was it a goal for you to like, Okay,
Speaker 1: one day I got to get to him, or.
Speaker 7: One day I wanted to get to Steve Steve Yano.
Speaker 7: He was the one that ran to Rodehuim swapped.
Speaker 13: Me, Oh so you just want to get your product in.
Speaker 7: I just want to get to him because to me,
Speaker 7: fuck them, he was the one because he could get
Speaker 7: you out there. I wasn't good enough for them. I
Speaker 7: didn't want to go to them and like get him
Speaker 7: music that wasn't dope as theirs, Like that's the kind
Speaker 7: of rapper I was. Like, I never wanted to rap
Speaker 7: for Drel, wanted to get down for w A because
Speaker 7: I didn't think.
Speaker 4: I was ready.
Speaker 7: Like so I would rather make music and get ready
Speaker 7: and then once they discover me and feel like I'm ready,
Speaker 7: then we make that happen.
Speaker 9: And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 6: Good say, oh so from the first explained us exactly
Speaker 6: how when you first started, when you Warren and Nate
Speaker 6: from two and three, When did y'all start recording together?
Speaker 7: Well, me and Warren g was friends from like elementary school.
Speaker 7: I met Nate dog in high school in eighty six,
Speaker 7: when I was in the tenth grade, he was in
Speaker 7: the twelfth grade.
Speaker 9: We had a class together.
Speaker 7: We just used to be fucking around, you know, beating
Speaker 7: on the table and singing and rapping. Then we had
Speaker 7: seventh period together, which was pe and we never went
Speaker 7: to that, so we would always be singing and shit
Speaker 7: in the back of the gym. So but war and
Speaker 7: G was my dog, and waring G was always wanting
Speaker 7: to do music with me, but we never like did music.
Speaker 7: So then I figured out a way to get all
Speaker 7: three of us together. And once we got together and
Speaker 7: got past all the argument and fighting and shit, because
Speaker 7: them niggas used to fight all the time, Waring G
Speaker 7: and they though them niggas can not stand echere. That's
Speaker 7: why it fucks me up that they got all the
Speaker 7: fucking history right. And them niggas was always fighting each
Speaker 7: other like.
Speaker 1: Brother like water, just like I really go.
Speaker 7: Brother like way, like Nigga like you know how brothers
Speaker 7: is like like what the fuck is y'all? And I'm
Speaker 7: in the middle of ship like this the fuck is
Speaker 7: y'all fighting about? This is bullshit? And this is even
Speaker 7: own records before the know it happened a lot before
Speaker 7: the records. When the records came out, only conflict was
Speaker 7: like just in the studio, you know, Nate Dog like
Speaker 7: doing the ship a certain way.
Speaker 9: He like fucked that.
Speaker 7: He hard aded in the studio. He like doing shit,
Speaker 7: no fuck that, I'm doing it this way. I'm taking
Speaker 7: the motherfucker the way I want to sing it.
Speaker 1: Nate was always singing. Always was he ever at any
Speaker 1: point in his life.
Speaker 7: Never, never, but he could he could, you know, Like
Speaker 7: like I said, when I met him, we was rapping
Speaker 7: and singing in the back of the class. Like he
Speaker 7: wasn't just coming up. Nigga was rapping with me, you know.
Speaker 7: I was, you know, beating on the table and ship
Speaker 7: rapping it at the same time. And he would come
Speaker 7: in and rap and then certain points he would maybe
Speaker 7: sing some ship and they would be.
Speaker 13: Like that was flying and he always had that movie.
Speaker 7: Always had that ship Like He's sounded like an R
Speaker 7: and B Nigga. That to me, you always sounded like
Speaker 7: the dude from A What's the group? Mind blowing decisions? Nigga,
Speaker 7: He sounds just like us if Nate when he used
Speaker 7: to sing always in Forever, he sounded exactly like damn
Speaker 7: like niggas just singing that for the Homiesga, be like
Speaker 7: he sing always in Forever, always Forevergas in the rooms.
Speaker 7: Niggas sing high.
Speaker 6: Part so from the time when y'all started making records.
Speaker 6: I've always heard you credit the DLC is actually teaching
Speaker 6: you how to write rhymes or or structure your rhymes. Rather,
Speaker 6: how did you go from like just freestyling, Like how
Speaker 6: did you start developing, you know, your pen game before
Speaker 6: meeting uh dre and doing.
Speaker 7: Deep free styling was my main thing because I was
Speaker 7: it was easy for me to come to my head
Speaker 7: real quick. I would always you know, I was quick
Speaker 7: with it. And then I started writing. But my rhymes
Speaker 7: that I wrote were like so basic, Like I would
Speaker 7: freestyle complex shit, but I would write basic shit. And
Speaker 7: I couldn't understand, Like why the fuck am I so
Speaker 7: basic when I'm writing? But I ain't, you know, basically
Speaker 7: when I'm freestyling, because I guess it was a more
Speaker 7: challenge exactly. So then I started saying fucking it. When
Speaker 7: we started making tapes, I just started going in there
Speaker 7: just saying shit like fucking I ain't gonna write no shit,
Speaker 7: and that shit was sounding better than the shit I wrote.
Speaker 7: And then once I got with you know, different producers
Speaker 7: and certain motherfuckers giving me game on.
Speaker 9: This is a sixteen bar? What's up?
Speaker 7: Sixteen bar? That's when the shit started. Here and in
Speaker 7: here Nigga rapped forever. You know, back then we had
Speaker 7: one hundred monthfucking bars. You know, that's what rappers did
Speaker 7: back then. Niggas din't know how to break that shit down.
Speaker 7: You know, we just rapped it. We couldn't rap no more.
Speaker 11: So.
Speaker 7: Then once the nigga learned how to structure, it was
Speaker 7: like cool, I got it. But then when I got
Speaker 7: with drinking, DC Doc showed me how to make songs
Speaker 7: like I would bust at least they bust something us
Speaker 7: like three minutes. He'd be like, all right, see what
Speaker 7: you said right here, that's the hook. What you said
Speaker 7: over here, that's the last sixteen. Over here, it's the
Speaker 7: first four right here, that's the next eight. Like he
Speaker 7: would take my restructure. This nigga was nigga like he
Speaker 7: worked for motherfucking Microsoft.
Speaker 13: Nigga.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Nigga put put the thing together.
Speaker 7: Like even when it came to g thing like I
Speaker 7: wrote it on the east side, but the last part
Speaker 7: I was stuck.
Speaker 9: And he came in.
Speaker 7: He because it's something I had said a long time ago,
Speaker 7: and he was like, Nigga, remember that ship. We was
Speaker 7: like like this that and this and up because I
Speaker 7: said that in the freestyle when I was just freestyl
Speaker 7: on one time Nigga's doctor drink and snoop.
Speaker 9: And we do it like this, and he.
Speaker 7: Was like, yeah, do that and put that at the
Speaker 7: end and then put my name in there.
Speaker 11: Like put your opinion now on younger MC's and being
Speaker 11: able to freestyle versus not the.
Speaker 7: Same where it used to be, you know, like basketball
Speaker 7: and what it used to be, football and what it
Speaker 7: used to be. You can't expect them to be on
Speaker 7: the level of the game that ain't the same. You
Speaker 7: know when we came out, you had to have skills
Speaker 7: like that. I remember I had to battle like forty
Speaker 7: niggas in New York one night, like on some real
Speaker 7: shitting and corrupt stepped up and served about a thousand niggas.
Speaker 7: I'm not making this shit up. It was like a
Speaker 7: karate movie.
Speaker 9: Nigga like.
Speaker 7: Niggas was running up with the same outfits on niggas.
Speaker 7: But that's what That's what hip hop was for me.
Speaker 7: When I came in in the eighties, I started rapping
Speaker 7: like eighty four eighty five. I had to battle about
Speaker 7: one hundred niggas before I even got to a microphone.
Speaker 7: Before I even got to a microphone. Yeah, then when
Speaker 7: I got to a microphone, it be like a house party,
Speaker 7: and if you ain't saying the right shit nigga, they'
Speaker 7: DJ put on some shit like Nick, get out of here.
Speaker 7: I say, niggas get shut down to get house parties.
Speaker 7: Then I start doing talent shows. So it's like I
Speaker 7: started getting familiar with the mic in my voice, and
Speaker 7: I started recording myself like I hear what I sound like?
Speaker 7: All right, my voice needs to be like this, not
Speaker 7: all wrapping, all loud and talking like that.
Speaker 9: That ain't me. I need to be in pocket.
Speaker 4: Damn.
Speaker 1: See that's how Usually with people that have low register,
Speaker 1: they do that a lot. They practice and practice, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then they find their zone. That's weird that you
Speaker 1: knew to discover that even without someone you know instructing
Speaker 1: you to practice on tape.
Speaker 9: Ain't that ideas for a drummer too.
Speaker 1: Ah, that's just different. Mindset was more like there's the
Speaker 1: basement going in it don't come out until after five hours.
Speaker 4: Like it was just.
Speaker 13: It wasn't like let me find my style.
Speaker 1: It's more like, yeah, it's better be home right after school,
Speaker 1: But how do you.
Speaker 7: Like For example, like if I say give me some
Speaker 7: Al Green and then give me some James Brown drums.
Speaker 13: Well that see.
Speaker 7: The thing is is that the mic even.
Speaker 1: I think, even beyond drumming, I am, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: a record collector and I process information different. So for me,
Speaker 1: I've discovered that it's really in the microphone, in the
Speaker 1: mixing I mentioned in the style. Also, so if you
Speaker 1: want Al Jackson and I know that, okay you want,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad your mine or whatever, then I know, okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta tune this down and all that stuff. But
Speaker 1: that really just comes from listening to listening to drummers
Speaker 1: and knowing how to tune my drums to sound like their's.
Speaker 1: It's not even a technique. So I consider myself more
Speaker 1: like a mirror than an actual person with the style.
Speaker 7: Because I noticed you can get those sounds. It's like
Speaker 7: I listened to you. I'm like, okay, he can get
Speaker 7: any sound. He won't like the wots y'all be playing
Speaker 7: with all kinds of sounds. That sound I like is
Speaker 7: when y'all did that.
Speaker 14: If you don't want me about that, baby, you don't
Speaker 14: want me, you know that.
Speaker 13: You got me, Thank you, bro.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
Speaker 7: Shit.
Speaker 1: I almost got talked out of that. The label was
Speaker 1: like dog y'all got to hit, don't do this fancy.
Speaker 1: The thing was we we lived in London. We had
Speaker 1: exiled to the UK from like ninety three to about
Speaker 1: ninety seven, even though we was living like both in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and abroad, but we were torn more abroad, and
Speaker 1: so that's when drum and bass was just starting to
Speaker 1: pop off garage and two steps and all that stuff.
Speaker 13: So when I got back to the stats, I was like,
Speaker 13: all right, let.
Speaker 1: Me add some of that London shit that I learned,
Speaker 1: which is weird because outcasts and doing bombs over Baghdad.
Speaker 1: That was their version of that. You know, okay, let's
Speaker 1: do what we learned in London. But I tried to
Speaker 1: do it in the label like try to talk me
Speaker 1: out of it, like real nah, radio is not going
Speaker 1: to play this, You're messing it up. So I fought
Speaker 1: they taught me out of Jills Scott, but I kept
Speaker 1: the drumming biggs.
Speaker 7: Who get rid of Jill Scott, But I'm keeping my drums.
Speaker 7: That crazy labels like back then had more say so
Speaker 7: and could really like come in there and say some
Speaker 7: ship that you had to do well.
Speaker 1: At that point, we were unproving, and it was just
Speaker 1: like this was our fourth attempt at trying to make
Speaker 1: it happen.
Speaker 7: Even for the proven, they did that like they were
Speaker 7: coming there and tell them motherfucker on some where else
Speaker 7: did It was many times where I sat down with Jimmy,
Speaker 7: I being on some good ship, but I liked his respective.
Speaker 7: But then sometimes we clash because I was like, Nigga,
Speaker 7: you can't tell me, nigga, you don't know my ship.
Speaker 7: Nigga Like hold on this, nigga, do no nigga, this
Speaker 7: nigga didn't work with nigga boot Springsteens.
Speaker 10: Can you give us an example? Can you give us
Speaker 10: an example of something you two classed over?
Speaker 9: Oh man? Uh? Producers?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who did you want to work with that he didn't
Speaker 1: want you to work with him?
Speaker 7: I don't want to say no name, but it was
Speaker 7: a producer that I really fucking wanted to work with
Speaker 7: that He didn't really see it, but he kind of
Speaker 7: saw it, and then once we started doing it, he
Speaker 7: understood it was for real.
Speaker 1: Wow wait wait wow, he couldn't see that. You know what, though,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. In the beginning, you.
Speaker 7: Couldn't see it.
Speaker 1: Pharrell was a hard sell for me. Here's here's the
Speaker 1: stupid ship I loved. I can't make a mistake by
Speaker 1: mc light. I love this shit because it was loud
Speaker 1: as ship. But it's almost like there's some unconventional there's
Speaker 1: something unconventional about the Neptune sound drew me to it
Speaker 1: that took me. It took me two months to to
Speaker 1: to really really get it and get aboard. And now
Speaker 1: it's like, the weirder this shit is, like take like
Speaker 1: the clip second album. The weirder that ship is, the
Speaker 1: more I'm all for it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: But that's what they were hard sell because I mean
Speaker 6: the first my first I CA remainer was on the
Speaker 6: Mace album, like they're looking at me joint and.
Speaker 1: You didn't like that, Okay, I didn't know who they were.
Speaker 6: You feel me like I remember this, But then like
Speaker 6: I think I got it around like super Thug like
Speaker 6: super Thug and like I mean the stuff with Norway,
Speaker 6: like all that shit got But I could see the So.
Speaker 1: Your first of the palace right at least, no, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: the chronic's blowing.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, yeah, blowing chronic to me is like a tradition.
Speaker 7: To me, I got to pick the So sit down
Speaker 7: and listen to me. Don't go against me food, go
Speaker 7: with me, and we can blow it all together like
Speaker 7: Bobby Brown and with me. Yeah, we got something to
Speaker 7: come and nigga search your nigga, but they never finding
Speaker 7: my bomb and I got the stashot my cash, got
Speaker 7: a lot of motherfucking punk police shot. I'm not the
Speaker 7: one nigga. You can call me the two Bob Marley.
Speaker 7: We incordinated, pupils, dilated and maxipated.
Speaker 1: This almost like that I'll be sure episode again you
Speaker 1: get hypnotizing someone's voice.
Speaker 7: And then the nigga just stopped. Thank you for sucking
Speaker 7: over me fast.
Speaker 6: Was it true that Deep Cover y'all didn't even have
Speaker 6: the record done before y'all signed the deal to do the.
Speaker 7: I like, sure, I tell this story, he'll tell it
Speaker 7: better than me. What it was was Doctor Dre was
Speaker 7: going to the gym right and we was in Calabasas
Speaker 7: at his house living at the time. You know, he
Speaker 7: gave me a beat and he was like.
Speaker 4: This the beat.
Speaker 7: I want my ship to start off like this tonights tonight,
Speaker 7: I get add some ship deep cover on the incognito tip.
Speaker 9: And then he left.
Speaker 13: So he gave you those four lines.
Speaker 7: And then the nigga left. I'm not making it up,
Speaker 7: so they sure call about an hour and a half
Speaker 7: letter Doggie Dog, I'm gonna call you back on the
Speaker 7: phone with the people from Sony. You got the song done?
Speaker 9: I said no.
Speaker 7: The nigga just tolked, just gave me the beat and laft,
Speaker 7: what what the song about? I don't know what it's about,
Speaker 7: but the movie is about the undercover police officer.
Speaker 9: So I'm gonna call you back.
Speaker 7: I want you to like freestyle a little bit, and
Speaker 7: then I want you to get to a certain point
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna say, all right, cut it off, and
Speaker 7: you're gonna hit the button and cut the music off,
Speaker 7: like everything cut off, and I'm gonna call you back.
Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, come on, and nigga ain't making
Speaker 7: this shit up, Nigga. The nigga called me back about
Speaker 7: an hour later, and I had a little bit of it,
Speaker 7: had like maybe like four bars of it.
Speaker 9: So he called back.
Speaker 7: He like, Doggy Dog, I got the people on from
Speaker 7: a Sony didn't want to hear the song.
Speaker 9: Nigga, I put the beat.
Speaker 7: Old Nigga just start busting their freestyling and going and going,
Speaker 7: and Nigga, all right, cut it off.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna call you back.
Speaker 7: Nigga called me back and said, Nigga write the song
Speaker 7: niggas called Deep Covers about a undercover police officer going
Speaker 7: undercover and selling drugs. I'm like, Nigga, my dope case
Speaker 7: was about me selling dope to an undercover cop in.
Speaker 9: My real life.
Speaker 7: WHOA yeah, So I took my real life and put
Speaker 7: it in Deep.
Speaker 12: Cover and it just so happened.
Speaker 7: It all came came. And then when we do this
Speaker 7: song right now, this the fucked up part. When we
Speaker 7: finish it, everybody in the room like this a hit.
Speaker 7: Only one motherfucker don't like it? Doctor Dre What he's
Speaker 7: the only nigga that don't like it?
Speaker 1: Seemed like an insatiable perfectionist, where like, do it again?
Speaker 4: Do it that?
Speaker 7: Nigga did not like it. And when the trick was
Speaker 7: they tricked me too. They tricked him too. They were like,
Speaker 7: we're gonna do a photo shoot, Higo, five hundred dollars
Speaker 7: snooker get you something to wear. So I go to
Speaker 7: the swap meet. Give me some Kaki Chicago white Sox
Speaker 7: jacket with the long beach hat.
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying. I'm like T shirt and chucks.
Speaker 9: I'm like, I'm cool. We get to the photo shoot.
Speaker 7: Nigga, it's a video, so I ain't never been on
Speaker 7: no video before, so I don't know what the fuck
Speaker 7: is going on. So now the director like he talking
Speaker 7: to me and Dre like all right, I try. I
Speaker 7: need you to act on this scene right here, and like, shit,
Speaker 7: I don't do all that. Let that nigga do it.
Speaker 7: I'm like They're like, yeah, well, the you know, and
Speaker 7: what with the beauty of it is? It was the
Speaker 7: part I did at the beginning of the song with
Speaker 7: the I think you hit this in front of you
Speaker 7: with the whoop that ship. So he was like, do that,
Speaker 7: but I'm gonna have somebody acting with you. You don't
Speaker 7: have to do both parts. You just do your part
Speaker 7: and whoop the wap. So he had the actor come
Speaker 7: in Drake just sitting down the whole scene just just look.
Speaker 7: I'm like, nigga, you the star, nigga. You got me
Speaker 7: doing all these lines in this dialogue and I thought
Speaker 7: this was a photo shoot.
Speaker 1: Nigga, How long did it take for you for Dreda
Speaker 1: know that in you he had his greatest discovery.
Speaker 9: That would probably have to be a question he would
Speaker 9: have to answer.
Speaker 1: Because I mean from the first from the time you
Speaker 1: met him to the time where he's like come to
Speaker 1: the studio, how many how much time was in between them?
Speaker 7: At least four years? But I never rapped for him?
Speaker 1: Wait what?
Speaker 7: I never rapped for him? Let me tell you how
Speaker 7: I used to go there.
Speaker 9: Warn G and Dre.
Speaker 7: Mother and father were married, Okay, so there would be
Speaker 7: functions at their house and Dre would show up and
Speaker 7: warn G had like some turntables in the back, and
Speaker 7: he would try to always get traded to come in
Speaker 7: the back like Snoopy can rap m And you know,
Speaker 7: back then niggas was like I don't want to hear
Speaker 7: nigga rap. So he would never be like, let me
Speaker 7: hear something.
Speaker 13: This n w A era, Dre just like.
Speaker 7: This is when the nigga was making he shot. I
Speaker 7: shot because he played that for us. He was like,
Speaker 7: I want you all to hear this shit I'm working on.
Speaker 7: He just played that one particular part of the song
Speaker 7: was easy he said he shot and niggas like, damn
Speaker 7: that shit hard and one he was like, Snoopy can rap, And.
Speaker 9: I'm like, what the fuck did he say?
Speaker 7: And then luckily the nigga did say let me hear something.
Speaker 9: He was like, okay, all right.
Speaker 7: Then he walked in the living room. I was like, yes, like, nigga,
Speaker 7: don't ever tell that nigga I can rap. Nigga we nigga.
Speaker 7: I don't want that nigga to hear me.
Speaker 4: Say.
Speaker 6: Do you finally get to you? Being on decover, who
Speaker 6: made that connection?
Speaker 9: Warren Jill Warren.
Speaker 7: We had a tape two one three mixtape and it
Speaker 7: had a song on there called super Duper and a
Speaker 7: song called Gangster's Life. And the Gangster's Life song was
Speaker 7: like a story about me being born. You know, the
Speaker 7: first day I get born, I go to the liquor
Speaker 7: store and get arrested. Like it's like a cold ass
Speaker 7: gagster story. Then at the end, my brother ends up
Speaker 7: becoming a gangster and ended up getting killed. So it
Speaker 7: was like it was a gang bang ass story, but
Speaker 7: it had like some positivity. You could see the writing
Speaker 7: was the next level.
Speaker 9: So Dre. I guess he liked that style. But how
Speaker 9: he heard it.
Speaker 7: They was at a bachelor party and the music cut
Speaker 7: off for one and G used to always go to
Speaker 7: their parties and the music cut off. So Warren g
Speaker 7: slide in my tape when the music go off, Okay,
Speaker 7: now the party back rocket and Niggass like.
Speaker 8: Who is that?
Speaker 7: Oh that's uh my homeboy snoopy and woofed it woo
Speaker 7: woo whoop. So Drake like, oh, nigga, that shit sound hard,
Speaker 7: nigga let me And then that's how he heard it,
Speaker 7: from watching the reaction of the people and having the
Speaker 7: air at the same time, probably hearing my voice, hearing
Speaker 7: the delivery the way, like I say, the song was structured.
Speaker 9: It was one of my best structured songs.
Speaker 4: Is that Yeah? It is? It is?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is. Okay, I can get you that gangscious life.
Speaker 7: I can get you the original version and it was
Speaker 7: a version that we did with Nate Dog on it after.

Speaker 7: long beach together and now you know you can trouble
Speaker 7: with saying nothing but the cheek thanks to loath thinking
Speaker 7: so and death wrote is the label that we done
Speaker 7: fainted most please don't try to fade?
Speaker 9: Was winning?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 6: Can you describe so like break down what was kind
Speaker 6: of the division of labor in the studio between like Dazz, Dre, Nate,
Speaker 6: uh corrupt, you know what I'm saying, Like what was
Speaker 6: kind of each person's job? Was one person better at
Speaker 6: hooks or so then the other? Or like how did
Speaker 6: y'all work?
Speaker 4: And DLC, because DC he was for the chronic as well. Well.
Speaker 7: D OC was like the guy that he was like
Speaker 7: the sen and say you had to the rap had
Speaker 7: to pass his I fucked with it before Dre would
Speaker 7: fuck with it. Like those the ears that Dre trusted
Speaker 7: most was his, you know, with everything. Remember he had
Speaker 7: just came off with the easy w A h. He
Speaker 7: wrote all of that shit. He wrote a lot of
Speaker 7: that n w A and niggas for life shit. Listen
Speaker 7: to them styles and all that always into something and
Speaker 7: all that. He was Dre's most trusted ear and he
Speaker 7: was a VET. So we was trying to impress DC,
Speaker 7: and then once we impressed DC, then he would work
Speaker 7: with us accordingly, okay, And then I attracted to him
Speaker 7: more because I moved in with DCA, like he became
Speaker 7: like my real sense. They and everybody else was like
Speaker 7: not under us, but they were like playing their roles accordingly,
Speaker 7: like Corrupt was like the assassin. Raige was like the
Speaker 7: hard female Jewels had to sing in vocals. Nate Dogg
Speaker 7: will come in with the hook. But that's what doctor
Speaker 7: Dre was like Phil Jackson, like a great coach that
Speaker 7: can take everybody on the team and make him valuable,
Speaker 7: Like everybody was valuable. Wasn't nobody more valuable than nobody?
Speaker 7: He made everybody valuable. When that song came on with
Speaker 7: Nate's voice, you loved it. When it came on with
Speaker 7: Dad's voice, you loved it. When it came home with Corrupt,
Speaker 7: you loved it. When it came home with me, you
Speaker 7: loved it cause he he knew how to put everybody
Speaker 7: in positions to make them strong. And to me that
Speaker 7: that was the strength of the team. That doctor Dre
Speaker 7: was the visionary. Like it wasn't us. We just was raw,
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, Just a bunch of raw
Speaker 7: motherfuckers that was bringing it to the table. But he
Speaker 7: had to clean the table up and set the table,
Speaker 7: prepare the meal, you know, And he knew what people like,
Speaker 7: so he had the ingredients to put it all together.
Speaker 7: He knew what the rock was that was a diamond.
Speaker 7: We didn't know. We just was Rocks trying to, you know, click.
Speaker 1: Like, what's the sixteen songs that make up the Chronic?
Speaker 1: I mean, were those the only the specific sixteen that
Speaker 1: you worked on, or was the Chronic like a combination
Speaker 1: of forty or fifty songs worked on and then we'll
Speaker 1: pick the best of the lot, and this is the album.
Speaker 7: I say it was probably twenty five songs at the most.
Speaker 7: It was one song that we really liked that didn't
Speaker 7: make it was called Whole Hopper. I really wanted it
Speaker 7: on there. It went like, you know, I like buzzy,
Speaker 7: so you can call me your hound. So here's the
Speaker 7: name I go by, one of them rolling around the
Speaker 7: Whole Hopper. Tell your friends, bitch all you I give
Speaker 7: it to you, smooth hoh. Can't you see then when
Speaker 7: you need some dig bitch, call old me the Whole
Speaker 7: hop But tell your friends all your friends bitch.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 9: And Drake was on one on that one.
Speaker 7: Make the cut?
Speaker 1: Why did that not make the I don't know. There
Speaker 1: stuck around this.
Speaker 7: Doctor dre was on some real ship like he would
Speaker 7: let us make any fucking kind of song we wanted.
Speaker 1: Who would write the hooks, because the thing that I
Speaker 1: didn't appreciate until much later was just how effortless you
Speaker 1: guys were with hooks and b parts, Like even you
Speaker 1: can take parts that weren't the hooks.
Speaker 6: You could take any four balls out of g thing
Speaker 6: and that to be a hook for another song.
Speaker 1: Right, So I never until we started, until like you know,
Speaker 1: writers block catches and you realize, like how effortless that
Speaker 1: shit sounds.
Speaker 13: So it's like, how, I don't know how uh.
Speaker 7: I think the thing was us When it came to
Speaker 7: like that kind of ship, we just went, We just
Speaker 7: threw it in the air. And then, like I said,
Speaker 7: that's when it was people like Dre who knew how
Speaker 7: to take it because bitches ain't ship but holes and tricks.
Speaker 7: That was Corrupt's first that was the start of his verse.
Speaker 7: His verse started like that bitches ain't shit but holesing trick.
Speaker 7: No no no no, no, no no no no no, And
Speaker 7: the makeup going to the store and doctor Dre said, nah, nigga,
Speaker 7: that's the hook, and he made bitches ain't ship but
Speaker 7: holes and tricks. Ain't shit but.
Speaker 9: Holes and tricks.
Speaker 7: So it was like Corrupt wrote the hook, but didn't
Speaker 7: know it was a hook, You get what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 7: that's what the our ship was so good that we
Speaker 7: we would always write the hook within the song where
Speaker 7: it was somebody's job to find that, and we didn't
Speaker 7: know that all the time, Like we didn't know that, damn,
Speaker 7: this was the hook. But Nackdog and Juells is probably
Speaker 7: the only ones that knew what the hook was because
Speaker 7: they was definitely writing for the hook for everybody that's
Speaker 7: was just right and here.
Speaker 1: Just come with the power verses and then they were
Speaker 1: coming and.
Speaker 13: Just take it with fit.
Speaker 7: Certain times it would fit like certain songs, a motherfucker
Speaker 7: just it just fit in place.
Speaker 4: Was it a certain time? We talked last night.
Speaker 6: We've had a couple of people on the show that
Speaker 6: always talk about the night of the Source Awards. And
Speaker 6: one thing I was always curious to hear from you,
Speaker 6: like what was going through your mind, like when you
Speaker 6: got on stage. My I remember watching it because at
Speaker 6: the time I was like, this is what ninety.
Speaker 4: I was. I was fifteen to sixteen.
Speaker 6: And like I watched it, and so then the next day, everybody,
Speaker 6: you know we in high school around lunch statement shit,
Speaker 6: and so everybody was like, well, man, Snoop.
Speaker 4: I can't believe, like he was so mad, like that's
Speaker 4: the fuck what Snoop said?
Speaker 6: And me, I always looked at it as I said,
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's necessarily anger.
Speaker 4: I said, think it may be anger me I said,
Speaker 4: but man, yeah, give him misrespect. I said, come on, man, I.
Speaker 6: Said, each and every one of us got Doggie style
Speaker 6: and my walkman right now, like everybody's bumping and shit
Speaker 6: like we loved the Imagine how fucked up it feel
Speaker 6: to be a dude that is respecting the auto hip
Speaker 6: hop making incredible fucking records and you come to the
Speaker 6: place that you got so much reverence for and they
Speaker 6: pissed on you. I said, man, that's like for real,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? So I was always curious
Speaker 6: to hear, like what was going through your mind when
Speaker 6: you know y'all got no love as New dog.
Speaker 7: Well, I was in the moment. The moment was more
Speaker 7: about what Sugar said. It wasn't about nothing else but
Speaker 7: that because New York respected us, and they respected me,
Speaker 7: and they gave me that because I gave them that.
Speaker 7: I came into game saying that this is the mechan
Speaker 7: I respect and appreciate everybody before me. When I met
Speaker 7: him a bow down, I treated him with love and respect.
Speaker 7: So it was a feeling was mutual when I spoke,
Speaker 7: because I didn't speak from a point of view of
Speaker 7: I want to fuck y'all up. I spoke from the
Speaker 7: perspective of we know where we at. Nobody should get
Speaker 7: fucked up based off of the fact that we all
Speaker 7: gangsters in here. So what we got to prove is
Speaker 7: we know where we're at, we know where we're from.
Speaker 7: This ain't the time and place for that. It was
Speaker 7: some dialogue that was needed. It wasn't planned, it wasn't
Speaker 7: It just was needed and my calling, you know what
Speaker 7: I'm saying, Like to me, that was my calling, Like
Speaker 7: this show moment Dog to step into that role of
Speaker 7: being the leader and being a role model and being
Speaker 7: a piece advocate for hip hop that you're going to
Speaker 7: end up being ten years from that day, because twenty
Speaker 7: years after that day, me and Doctor Dre was on
Speaker 7: stage at that same building doing the show, and Puffy
Speaker 7: was there too, and we all performed together, and then
Speaker 7: we were just thinking back of how it was based
Speaker 7: off of comments and small shit, but we always loved
Speaker 7: each other, but we never could show it because.
Speaker 6: The bullshit we had steeched out on like not too
Speaker 6: long ago. And he kind of echoed what you said.
Speaker 6: He was like, man with Snoop got up there, he said,
Speaker 6: you actually kind of calmed things down a little bit.
Speaker 1: Like if he didn't, it would have been almost.
Speaker 7: If I didn't say nothing niggas, some niggas would have
Speaker 7: died that night. Nod said it perfectly on defying ones.
Speaker 7: He said something to the fact that you know, when
Speaker 7: Snoop got up there, he said the right ship, because
Speaker 7: at that point, when they first got there, it was
Speaker 7: New York versus New York, it was Borrow versus Burrow.
Speaker 7: And when Shug said what he said, he made it
Speaker 7: New York versus them niggas. Then when Snoop got up
Speaker 7: there and said what he said, a lot of New
Speaker 7: York niggas had love for Snoop and just couldn't see
Speaker 7: themselves just taking off on him for something that this
Speaker 7: nigga said. So it was like it was it was
Speaker 7: that deep in that detrimental because these was real street niggas.
Speaker 7: He wasn't like record label executives or managers or agents
Speaker 7: or may the production guys, this was nigga. That nigga
Speaker 7: just got out. He just got out fifteen minutes ago.
Speaker 7: He been in twenty years. He ain't got no money.
Speaker 7: He looking to do something so he can get on
Speaker 7: the payroll. Like everybody had forty of them niggas with them. Like,
Speaker 7: imagine that time in the early nineties, how hip hop was.
Speaker 7: You had to have a hundred niggas of your entourage.
Speaker 7: That just was part of how you was, like whether
Speaker 7: you wanted it or not. Like even the roots had
Speaker 7: a hundred niggas with them.
Speaker 1: We couldn't afford that. But when you have a large
Speaker 1: encage like hotel bills front, Like, how were y'all y'all
Speaker 1: were touring during that period, How are y'all handling just
Speaker 1: the basic shit fights.
Speaker 7: My first fifteen years a torn I can say this,
Speaker 7: and I ain't ashamed to say, I probably made like
Speaker 7: fifteen percent of my tour money.
Speaker 1: Because of everything you had to cover as far as hotels.
Speaker 7: Yeah, fifteen percent of my tour money is what I
Speaker 7: made my first fifteen years because I would have thirty
Speaker 7: niggas on the road. Everybody was getting paid and this
Speaker 7: and that, and then I wouldn't look back until the
Speaker 7: end of it, and it'd be like, well you uh,
Speaker 7: you grossed this amount and you netted this amount, and well,
Speaker 7: god damn everybody on tour and enjoying life except me.
Speaker 9: Man, it's a business man.
Speaker 1: I gotta jump to the real white elf in the room,
Speaker 1: which to mean is the dog Father. Okay, I gotta
Speaker 1: jump to that. Do you do you feel that the
Speaker 1: dog Father has gotten this proper just due respect, because
Speaker 1: for some reason, I don't think the world realizes how
Speaker 1: incredible that shit was when it came out, and the
Speaker 1: fact that it's still timeless late, Like, you know, was
Speaker 1: it twenty years later?
Speaker 4: Yeah? About Yeah, it was ninety six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, what are your personal opinions on your follow up?
Speaker 7: When I first came out with it, I was getting
Speaker 7: a lot of hate and a lot of like, oh,
Speaker 7: it ain't doggy style, drain't do this, and why it
Speaker 7: ain't and this and that, and it used to fuck
Speaker 7: with me a little bit. And then I used to
Speaker 7: go out and do shows and then fans would bring
Speaker 7: me the album to sign, like you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 7: that's a cold twist when they like niggas talking about you.
Speaker 7: But then a fan bring three copies of Doggy Style
Speaker 7: and two copies of dog Father and say can you
Speaker 7: sign these? And you sign these and I'm looking like
Speaker 7: damn from signing dog Father. I mean, they bought it.
Speaker 7: And then I started doing songs from the dog Father
Speaker 7: on stage, Snoops, upside your Head, big fucking record. Charlie
Speaker 7: Wilson started rolling with me. Me and Charlie became like this.
Speaker 7: So it was blessings that came out of that that
Speaker 7: they was making happen and didn't even know that they
Speaker 7: was making happen. Then we went overseas to Europe, and
Speaker 7: I toured in Europe and the record was so big
Speaker 7: over there to where it's like it solidified me as
Speaker 7: an artist that was gonna be here on the follow
Speaker 7: up tip. So it's just in America where it was
Speaker 7: a lot of not covering it the right way or
Speaker 7: saying the right things.
Speaker 9: I remember, Biggie.
Speaker 7: Got killed, Tupaca got killed, Biggie's album came out, Tupac's
Speaker 7: album came out, So they just drowned me out on
Speaker 7: some Oh this nigga ain't gang banging no more. He
Speaker 7: just beat a murder case. He's a family man. Now
Speaker 7: he's soft. Now he'd be happy. Now look at him
Speaker 7: rapping about happy shit doggies laying. I had a song
Speaker 7: called Doggie land that was a song about peace, love
Speaker 7: and nobody dying and just a beautiful record that was
Speaker 7: about Doggie landing. Niggas didn't understand it, like, Nigga, that's soft, nigga.
Speaker 7: I'm like, what's living? Life is soft? Like I don't
Speaker 7: need to be with you, niggas if y'all deaf is
Speaker 7: cool nigga, Nigga, I'm gonna die, Nigga.
Speaker 9: That shit hard nigga. How you gonna die?
Speaker 7: I'm being a blaze of bullets nigga, the hard way
Speaker 7: nigga like a Western movie.
Speaker 9: Fuck that, Nigga. I want to die nigga sipping on
Speaker 9: some coffee.
Speaker 8: Nigga land in.
Speaker 7: Bed, not a shelf eighty years old? You know what
Speaker 7: I'm saying?
Speaker 4: Men? What was it like?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 6: I was always curious to know the transition from death
Speaker 6: row to no limit and like being with being under
Speaker 6: somebody like Shug versus somebody like Pete.
Speaker 4: What was p like as a businessman?
Speaker 7: Sug was a great businessman first and foremost. Let me
Speaker 7: say that very strong, very shrewd, got to it like
Speaker 7: you do. It did a lot of things that was,
Speaker 7: you know, groundbreaking for the industry that I see a
Speaker 7: lot of niggas doing now. But when I got with
Speaker 7: master p he was more of a He was a finesser,
Speaker 7: like I want to shake hands with him, pump shoulders
Speaker 7: with him, do business with him, be executive.
Speaker 9: I want to own shit.
Speaker 7: I want to be a part of the executive branch
Speaker 7: and not just the you know, employee side of it.
Speaker 7: And then he passed it on. You know, he was
Speaker 7: one of those informative guys that hey put this in
Speaker 7: your name. Hey get you a bank account, Hey, get
Speaker 7: you some credit cards, Hey get you some property, Hey
Speaker 7: get you some this like get your record label, get
Speaker 7: you some clothing, clothing line. Like All the shit I
Speaker 7: did was by being with him. He showed me how
Speaker 7: to do it, and.
Speaker 4: I went, that's so dope.
Speaker 7: And don't be afraid they laughed at him in the beginning.
Speaker 7: They used to laugh at him. I used to watch
Speaker 7: him laugh, laugh, laugh. Then when I sign him with
Speaker 7: no limit, like I'm not saying, I made the laughs
Speaker 7: go away. But all the laughs was gone after that,
Speaker 7: and Niggas was like this, Nigga really is a business man.
Speaker 7: He really sharp because my first album with them paid
Speaker 7: the cost to be the boss two million records in America,
Speaker 7: two million records overseas. Then we put out a movie
Speaker 7: called The Game of Life and he sold it for
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety five and it sold two million copies. You
Speaker 7: do the fucking maths, and he made all the fucking money.
Speaker 7: Wasn't no middle man, none of that.
Speaker 12: That was the thing about master P and nobody really
Speaker 12: re emphasized.
Speaker 7: It wasn't no rap. It wasn't no money a rapper
Speaker 7: til No Limit came. And I say that honestly. It
Speaker 7: wasn't no rappers making no money into No Limit. Niggas
Speaker 7: was getting crumbs and a little bit negotiating and fighting
Speaker 7: with record labels and artists and management. Master he cut
Speaker 7: all that shit out. He was the what Sugar should
Speaker 7: have been, the less violent, more business.
Speaker 12: Approach and he shared information.
Speaker 7: Yes, all of the above. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 7: come on, man.
Speaker 6: From the time that you went from because after you
Speaker 6: did the three records on No Limit and then.
Speaker 7: Three album deal five million dollars, I can say that now,
Speaker 7: respectful I wanted to put that contract out there so
Speaker 7: in case you niggas want a new three albums do,
Speaker 7: it's gonna be way more than that.
Speaker 4: Now.

Speaker 4: I didn't. I was like, right, but no limit to

Speaker 7: project together. I had a dream and a wishless making
Speaker 7: my grandmother proud of me. My grandmother was here, she
Speaker 7: would always you know, talk to her friends and people
Speaker 7: about me, but she can never talk about my music.
Speaker 7: And I always wanted to make something that she could
Speaker 7: be proud of, that she could hear, and that her friends,

Speaker 7: I feel like I got a nice voice that could
Speaker 7: blend with that.
Speaker 9: And that was the key.
Speaker 7: And then watch this when I do it. I take

Speaker 11: Well, I wanted to go back to my roll call
Speaker 11: because I was serious about this question because it's been
Speaker 11: like some documentaries and some studies and whatnot, and I
Speaker 11: wanted to know your opinion on what people are saying
Speaker 11: about the Indica versus s Tativa and saying that it's
Speaker 11: it's all bullshit, Like where are you with that?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: I think that sativa is for certain people and Indicas
Speaker 7: for certain people. That's whatever you make it is. It's
Speaker 7: like some people like gins, some people like uh whiskey, some.
Speaker 13: People like bring it down to like a kindergarten.
Speaker 7: To versus Indica is for the aggressive, for the ones
Speaker 7: like myself, the ones who've been doing it for a
Speaker 7: long time. We need like a high tolerance who looking
Speaker 7: for the highest level of getting there. Sativa is more
Speaker 7: of a female relaxation.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 12: To me down, I never heard it described.
Speaker 9: It's real. I don't see a lot of niggas that
Speaker 9: be like, you want to hit this sativa.
Speaker 7: Damn so fast?
Speaker 9: You got a flower with that too, nigga.
Speaker 11: But the word is that it's not real. The concept
Speaker 11: is not real. That's what I was saying. The word
Speaker 11: is that the concept is not real. And some bullshit
Speaker 11: Indica and different so that that is.
Speaker 7: Very real because they're two different and strange. They're two different.
Speaker 7: How would I explain that, Frank? What are they two different?
Speaker 4: What I want to make you want to go to sleep,
Speaker 4: the other one will keep you up eating.
Speaker 7: Yes, it's like like a relax like Sativa is more
Speaker 7: like connected with medical you know, because it's the yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7: And then the Indicas like the party ship where all
Speaker 7: the rappers and you know what I'm saying, the high
Speaker 7: energy and you got ship to do when you're trying
Speaker 7: to get it done.
Speaker 9: And you know what I'm saying I've.
Speaker 6: Heard what I've heard described, and I don't know if
Speaker 6: it's in different strains within them, but like one is
Speaker 6: like a body high and one is overhead high. So
Speaker 6: which one would you recommend, like for pain, like for
Speaker 6: like joints off writers out that kind of ship, which
Speaker 6: one words better for pain?
Speaker 9: You would have to be prescribed. I would go to
Speaker 9: a real, real ship.
Speaker 4: You could go to a real yeah.
Speaker 9: Dispecially and go see a real doctor and they'll tell
Speaker 9: you exactly.
Speaker 4: What rub some tossing on it? Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you looking to get into the dispensary games?
Speaker 7: That's what?
Speaker 12: No, not that game you That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 12: How invested are you in that? In that game?
Speaker 7: Snow premium nutrients, That's what I was going to speak
Speaker 7: about that. Just think about what a nutrient is. A
Speaker 7: nutrient is what you need to grow the flower. So
Speaker 7: everyone who grows flowers, I know.
Speaker 12: Some genius you was gonna drop.
Speaker 7: I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Stadium.
Speaker 7: I don't want to be the grass that they playing
Speaker 7: on man.
Speaker 1: That every night.
Speaker 7: I can't play the game without grass.

Speaker 7: So you just try to, you know, raise them the
Speaker 7: right way and teach them to you know, the ins

Speaker 6: and still wanting to be able to, you know, find
Speaker 6: their own way in life.

Speaker 7: football league was urban and it was them playing with
Speaker 7: kids that came from urban communities, then building relationships and
Speaker 7: then going to school with kids like that and learning
Speaker 7: how to live within but without, and then me and
Speaker 7: my wife would bring them to certain situations where they
Speaker 7: could see this is where we grew up at, this
Speaker 7: is where we lived at, and walk around and look
Speaker 7: aside this one bedroom and like nigga, y'all got a
Speaker 7: room that's yours, and we lived in a house that
