0:48
Champs yeap hour make some when
0:54
I say calling
0:57
this man a legend is an understatement. Calling
1:00
him an icon as an understatement. Calling
1:03
him a visionary uh uh,
1:07
A person that is relentless, a
1:10
person that has landed his
1:12
hand to hip hop and could singly
1:14
handily say that he has made hip hop
1:16
a better place. Some of your
1:19
favorite records he's wrote some
1:21
of your favorite artists. He's your artist,
1:23
favorite artist artist. He's
1:26
your rapper's favorite rappers rapper. He's
1:30
your producer's favorite, producer, producer, producer.
1:33
He is a classic legend
1:37
icon means
1:39
so much, and I want to I don't want to limit
1:42
to him to to to because because
1:44
he's he's he's actually from the
1:46
South, kind of dressed like from
1:48
the East Coast and rhyme almost like from
1:50
the East.
1:50
Coast, but landed and goddamn
1:53
the West Coast. So he's a bit
1:55
of every coast hip hop.
1:57
He's a man's man, like I said,
2:00
a legend, legend. And if
2:02
it wasn't for him, some of your favorite
2:04
hip hop artist icons
2:07
will probably never even exist.
2:09
Like I said, he's everyone's favorite. In
2:11
case you don't know who the fuck I'm talking about, we talking about
2:13
the one only that
2:20
still might be one of the hardest, still
2:24
might be one of the hardest ship like and hip hop when
2:26
that's to come on. I had so much fun
2:30
doing research for this
2:32
interview, watching the documentary,
2:35
uh, watching your old interviews,
2:38
watch it, listening to the old music. It's
2:41
like you are sincerely a
2:43
god of hip hop man, man.
2:45
Thank you for that.
2:46
Man.
2:53
Well, first things first, I
2:56
gotta get this off my chest because
2:59
I carried it on my there it a long time
3:03
and I don't want to go too deep into it. But but
3:06
this between me and you, it's personal.
3:10
It was up and smoke to it, and
3:17
it reached out.
3:18
Your hand to me.
3:21
And I was in the middle of my addiction,
3:24
in the middle of a bad trip, and
3:26
so I don't remember everything perbade him,
3:29
but I know I was fucked
3:31
up in it.
3:33
So old you in a polymy. No, no, no,
3:35
no, no, let me tell you something. Let
3:37
me tell you something. No,
3:40
You've been such inspiration and to
3:42
tell you the truth, you
3:45
are legend you. You can't you guys.
3:47
If it wasn't for you guys doing
3:50
what y'all did, I don't think the Queen's
3:52
Bridge slash left rock sound would
3:54
even be invented, you know what I'm
3:56
saying, because of like
3:59
like, like I said, watching the documentary
4:01
and going through all of this and seeing
4:04
seeing your relentless list. Like there was one
4:06
part of the documentary, by the way, I
4:08
cried twice. I cried twice.
4:10
There was one part though, where Drey
4:12
just looked in the camera and
4:15
Dre said, you can't give it away,
4:18
but Dre says something that
4:21
you want all of your friends to say,
4:24
like you want
4:27
I cried to the TV, Like,
4:29
I'm sitting there, my barber's cutting my hair
4:31
and he's like, wait minute, because
4:34
he fills the tears, so I guess
4:36
he's not. He don't want to look at me because he
4:38
looking like, holy shit, this thing of nooy. He's really
4:40
sitting here crying. And I
4:42
love that friendship of yalls, Like how
4:44
did y'all develop that relationship? You and Dre?
4:47
It's uh, it's
4:50
a musical. He's
4:53
the music.
4:54
I'm the words, bro mm
4:56
hm, I
4:58
am the words. What he is it's the music.
5:00
Wow, And so that you
5:02
can't you know what I'm saying. And this
5:05
is when before the world knew who
5:08
he was. I knew who
5:10
he.
5:11
Was world, Yeah,
5:14
yeah,
5:16
yeah.
5:17
But it's it's the sound. It's the quality
5:20
of the sound that he
5:22
produces. It's not the actual
5:25
production to beat making. It's
5:27
the engineering. It's that when
5:29
you're in the studio.
5:30
With the good doctor. I like you call him a
5:32
good doctor.
5:33
That's the sound that day. It's
5:35
because you ain't gotta
5:37
go wait till they get mixed. The matter, none
5:39
of that high sound in that moment. That's
5:42
it, and it's never gonna change.
5:44
It's gonna be that dope all the way through,
5:46
you know, and I always
5:49
respected him
5:51
uh immensely for that, for
5:53
that skill set, I couldn't
5:55
leave.
5:55
It, you know what I mean.
5:56
That's why even after what happened
5:58
to me happened, I stayed up under
6:00
that sound, right, because if I could stay
6:03
close to this sound, I still got these
6:05
words.
6:05
I might not have the voice
6:07
to go with it, you know.
6:10
But you know that
6:12
was like,
6:15
like like I was saying earlier, it's like I
6:17
heard that you said that you wanted to you gave up
6:20
certain times. But the outside
6:23
is looking in. We never saw that part of you. We
6:25
always we only get to see. I
6:28
don't know if it's the.
6:28
Part that was presented or it's
6:32
just that much.
6:32
Of a hero, you know. What I'm saying is that we we didn't
6:35
see the vulnerability part of you, Like
6:37
you know what I'm saying. So was that something that you
6:39
was hiding or that was like some
6:41
of you did on purpose?
6:42
No? Bro, that thank you.
6:44
That's just that's just me as a as
6:46
a human being, right right. I never
6:48
get the show but those sides
6:51
because it's never about me, right, It's always
6:53
about.
6:54
My guys, G O, D, not not the DC.
6:56
Well, yeah, that's ultimate.
6:59
But back in those days, it's always about Snoop,
7:01
Snoop and dre Right and so my roles
7:03
it is just to be in the back.
7:06
And I'm cool with that, sipping on yat. You
7:08
know,
7:12
listen.
7:13
I can't wait for this documentary to actually finally
7:15
come out because I thought, I
7:18
swear to God, I'm not gassing you up
7:20
because you here. I thought that straight
7:22
out of confident, was like nothing could be better than that, right,
7:24
And I'm sitting back, I'm like, this is no other thing
7:27
story, no other story, And then you want to tect
7:30
to me. You're like, wait a minute, it gets
7:32
better. You
7:34
can only imagine.
7:35
I mean, I didn't get to watch it, but there's so many layers
7:37
to your story, going all the way back to
7:39
Texas.
7:40
Bro it is.
7:42
And I used to be humble about
7:44
the ship, but I'm starting to get.
7:46
You know, we're gonna be cocky for you
7:52
and jump for the record. We've been trying to get you,
7:54
you know, I've been trying for a long time. Hold
7:56
on before you even go, Before you go, because our show was
7:58
about giving people they fly. Snoop said that
8:01
when he got his flowers just better than getting the Grammy
8:03
because it comes for his people. We want to give your
8:05
flowers face to face.
8:06
Man, man,
8:07
man,
8:13
you mean so much hours yes, let
8:16
me tell you, you mean so much, not just to
8:18
west coast, not just to the south, not to the east,
8:21
to the whole case.
8:23
Like I can't pitch a hip hop without
8:25
you. Wow, It's like I literally can't.
8:27
Like I believe your first word was eighty seven,
8:30
eighty seven, eighty seven. I was born in
8:32
seventy seven, so my memory it's
8:36
always like they you always
8:38
existed. So I
8:40
cannot pitch a hip hop without you, like, like for
8:42
real, you're a real, real legend, my brother.
8:45
Let's just talk about the documentary without giving up every day,
8:47
right.
8:47
Yeah, I mean, but we can talk about
8:49
the story.
8:50
We don't have to refer the story to the film. We're
8:52
here to talk about.
8:53
Story documentary itself. Jen
8:56
Foe God
9:03
three hip hop documentary
9:05
all time, yep. And
9:08
it might not be.
9:09
Two or three, you know what
9:11
I'm saying, because it's it
9:13
is hip hop. I'm
9:15
the vehicle, but that story
9:18
is about it hip hop. That's why it goes up
9:20
through New York up and that it
9:23
travels like hip hop.
9:24
Did you know what I mean.
9:27
I love the fact apartment because you I love the fact
9:29
that you even brung the doctors in, like
9:32
you know, when you was checking the a voidable code of
9:34
course and things like that. I love that you didn't
9:36
even hide that, like you just you wanted people
9:39
to know your real
9:41
life because.
9:42
It's still an option. Why there's
9:44
still a lives with that, you
9:46
know. Then I think happened
9:49
and that's a whole another bar of ones. But
9:51
so I'm still living at this There's
9:55
some changes I want to make and at
9:57
the end, because
10:00
I want to do something for easy, I didn't get a chance
10:02
to do when they
10:04
that should happened. That that happened
10:07
because his his
10:09
widow reached
10:11
out to me and started talking to me in vacuuming
10:14
my master's back.
10:15
Oh wow, wow wow.
10:17
You said something an interview
10:21
and you said, the thing about the documentary
10:23
is that a fifty year old white man from Arkansas,
10:26
from anywhere in the world could relate to it. I'm
10:28
telling you everybody can relate. I'm telling you, I'm
10:30
telling you that that documentary is not just
10:32
a hippy it's a
10:35
it's a never give up, it's
10:37
a it's a it's a fucking inspirational
10:40
said life documentary. But it's like it's
10:43
like, yo, you're
10:46
a litless list. You're like you're
10:49
even say your even way to say,
10:51
you know what, I was one of the biggest stars in the world.
10:53
I lost my voice, but I'm not gonna lose my
10:55
intentions. I'm gonna pay a team
10:57
player. Like that ship was just so I
11:01
was good sponsors coming through me. I'm just whoa
11:04
because most people once
11:06
they get the place of being Michael Jordan's
11:08
they don't want to be talked Scottie Pippen,
11:11
they don't want to go to but you not only
11:13
it was like you chose that role. He was like, you know
11:15
what, I can't be the player the more,
11:18
but I'm gonna be there. And I'm pining the hardest
11:20
rhymes ever because.
11:26
Because I want my guys to win. Man,
11:29
I want them. I want them to win. Even
11:32
if I can't win, somebody gonna
11:34
win. And
11:36
and snoop, you
11:41
could tell the character of a man he is
11:43
because they always give it back, like
11:45
he never goes nowhere without speaking me,
11:48
lifting me up. And if I needed him
11:51
and called me to be there, you
11:53
know, and like
11:55
jo d Bless me Bro. He put me in the grade
11:58
spot to be a with thero and learn some
12:01
real he lessons
12:03
in his life, you know. And so
12:05
that's why I'm now. I tell folks, it's
12:07
a it's a god thing,
12:09
it's not a doc thing. I'm trying
12:11
to position myself for
12:13
hip hop, not the first
12:16
fifty because the first fifty.
12:17
Was fucked up.
12:19
The next fifty when we get
12:21
to win, when them billions come to
12:23
us the creators and
12:26
float to our people on
12:28
the way we wanted to right And
12:30
we don't have enough of that going
12:33
on now.
12:34
But now that we got this awareness, now
12:37
that we got understanding, now that we
12:39
got opportunities like this show, then
12:41
we can bless our folks. Ain't
12:44
growing this thing in this money game just
12:46
like you know they have, you know
12:48
what I mean. And it's next fifty for me.
12:51
It's about going back to the same
12:53
projects I came from.
12:55
Dallas, Dallas ballas.
12:57
And making sure that what Dallas
12:59
for work, making sure
13:01
that those babies
13:03
have an opportunity to win, Bro,
13:06
because they're living in
13:10
them streets right now.
13:11
They're living.
13:14
The movies we wrote in our
13:16
records, but they're not living and
13:18
with honor the way we act.
13:21
If there's no honor, then you can't
13:23
trust nobody. You
13:26
just out there in the wild West again like
13:28
fuck everything and every and we lose
13:30
them like that. Man, we can't lose these boys
13:32
like that.
13:33
We need them. You know what I mean? What if
13:35
Trump do allow I'm just playing.
13:36
I don't want to go ahead them
13:39
sneaks is horrible, horrible.
13:43
All them go. Yeah, that's what he's said. You
13:46
know what I man?
13:46
So you you want and they and they
13:49
just somebody just read
13:51
somewhere they they just signed
13:53
the bill uh
13:56
in Louisiana that
13:59
allows them boys eighteen.
14:01
Years or you have top to carry
14:03
your seals. You can't even bot a cigarettes eighteen
14:05
Yeah, man, you can buy a guy.
14:07
What what is the purpose? Who
14:09
are the people and why they ain't not on
14:12
TV?
14:12
Let me see what they look like like because
14:14
I'm not getting the game and that because you
14:16
already know what's gonna happen, right right,
14:19
You already know what's gonna happen there.
14:22
If one of these young boys is
14:24
in school and another one
14:26
of them little boys run past
14:28
them and popping in is out one good time, He's
14:30
not.
14:30
Gonna even square up. He's gonna get up and run
14:33
to the lock up. No, why because the ain't.
14:35
Not fighting no more. Bro.
14:37
Now you're out of there, and then
14:39
you lost two lives or three or four
14:41
behind buy some ignorant shit. And so,
14:45
you know, with all due respect
14:47
to the to the program, I don't want
14:49
to be you know, but
14:52
yeah, man, it's it's really important to me
14:55
to get out there and make that stance right.
14:57
I was talking to the k R s UH
15:00
in Dallas just a week ago. We were
15:02
sitting there right
15:05
along the podcast, you know, in
15:07
Dallas, me and Ka har Rests.
15:10
I'm doing some work on the podcast, and we would start
15:12
having this conversation like we gotta
15:14
get out there and do what we can to get our young men
15:17
back on track.
15:19
There's no, it's not a lot of leaders anymore. We
15:21
don't have a lot.
15:23
No, we went. We went from the Martin Luther
15:25
King era right to
15:27
the Frankie Lucas era.
15:29
Yeah, to doctor Umar.
15:42
I've seen Omar there for one time.
15:44
I don't want to. I don't want to tell
15:46
nobody me sneak up on you.
15:50
They have on beads.
15:51
No, but yeah,
15:53
he was a cool brother, you know. I
15:56
don't want to, but.
15:56
I think about it, I can't think of Doctor Umar flying
15:59
the White airline. You can tell me he was a white
16:02
I'm disappointed, Doctor, He's supposed
16:04
to be on black air waves.
16:16
So I'm gonna tell you one
16:19
of my favorite, well some of my favorite stories
16:22
of a hip hop period is
16:24
when I hear anybody who was involved in the chronic
16:27
talking about those sessions. Now,
16:30
obviously we interview Snoop, we interviewed Dazz
16:32
and Corrupt, right, and Dazz
16:34
and Corrupt and Snoop came from like
16:37
a rookie point of view where basically they
16:39
were like and even Snoop to a certain
16:41
extent, but Stop said it was you and him really pinning
16:43
most of it. But
16:46
you, like, doctor Dre is
16:48
different from Snoop and different from Dazz
16:50
and Corrupt because you know what these records can
16:52
get veterans. You know,
16:55
how was those sessions like with you? And
17:00
it wasn't as fun as as as
17:02
well?
17:03
Yeah, man, that was you know,
17:05
because I knew what was gonna happen, right,
17:08
and in the early days, I thought it was gonna be my
17:10
money too, you
17:15
know, But you
17:17
knew what them boys was doing and
17:20
if you fucking with dre Man
17:23
nine ninety nine, nine point nine,
17:26
nine nine, You're gonna win.
17:28
It's difficult not to win
17:31
with with with him doing. But nobody
17:35
was like Snoop Snoop was what
17:38
what what slick Rick was?
17:40
Today's Snoop was that for
17:42
them? Nobody had that, you
17:45
know, That's why I was.
17:46
It was so apropos that
17:49
he did lotty dotty because that's what he
17:51
was.
17:51
On his first album, was on his first album, and it
17:54
made so much sense. It was like
17:56
perfect, Yeah, he was
17:58
a genius.
17:59
I'm gonna I'm not lie from
18:03
deep Cover. When I first heard deep Cover, I
18:05
knew Snoop was different. I knew
18:07
he was this ship. I just didn't know that he would
18:09
be wound up being the most famous rapper
18:11
on earth. Like I love the Boar where you keep saying,
18:14
you say to the kids, you'd be like, y'all know who DC
18:16
is, and they're like, uh, he
18:21
is like the most famous rapper. It is like
18:24
there's no place on earth Snoop can't go.
18:25
Oh yeah, I mean, Snoop is a he
18:28
is a marketing genius. He
18:30
ain't turning down no checks. He
18:32
gonna gonna get it.
18:33
What you said but
18:36
how did.
18:36
You see that in the beginning, because obviously
18:39
y'are dealing with a diamond in the rough, Like it
18:41
wasn't like he came out and was polished. So
18:44
what was it?
18:45
Dre told you about this thought? And then
18:48
yeah, and you're seeing him on the level as an MC. I'm
18:50
sure at first it's just as an MC. You're like, I
18:52
can respect this.
18:53
Oh yeah, I mean I got to help
18:55
him, right, But Dre heard
18:58
him. He said, that's the guy. I said,
19:00
Okay, that's what we're gonna do, you
19:02
know, and follow the league, play
19:05
my role in this movie. Sit
19:07
down with him and take him through structures.
19:10
And because you told him how to do sixteens.
19:12
Make him money? Well yeah, because
19:14
he was right. He was just wrapped for
19:16
thirty minutes and shit, and you
19:19
know, it's cool. It's cool here,
19:21
then they get cool again here. Then
19:24
now you're just wrapping some ship and then he get cool
19:26
right here. You need to remove
19:28
all the ifs and speak
19:31
to the meat that at work. And
19:33
and he figured that shit out by the time he got
19:35
to.
19:38
His record was ship. I couldn't
19:40
tell him shit.
19:41
You know, he was flying U
19:44
and I was happy to be on the ride with
19:46
him.
19:47
Now, was sure your bodyguard at
19:49
first?
19:50
Yeah?
19:50
This is the holl Yeah all
19:53
right, So you're telling me, I don't know if you call.
19:55
It a bodyguard because he was taking
19:57
now you know what I mean about, ain't nobody
20:00
trying to fuck with me? But sure
20:02
was was a friend and
20:05
coming from from Dallas to
20:08
uh to California, going
20:10
from nothing to everything.
20:12
Right, even though you went from Dallas to Confton,
20:15
he moved into continent right over.
20:16
But I'm saying, didn't nobody give a
20:19
fuck who I was in Dallas By
20:21
the time I got to tell, everybody thought I
20:23
was the coldest thing since sliced
20:25
bread, you know, and Sugar started
20:27
hanging out taking me to clubs
20:30
at at twenty years old. You're
20:32
not supposed to get in what you get You going
20:34
in and Eddie Murphy's
20:36
over there and Prince's over there. You
20:38
start filling that vibe when
20:42
the record start hitting and
20:44
then that alcohol start kicking
20:46
in. Then that's why
20:49
you might have thought he was my bodyguard. I'd
20:51
go in there to be a woman over there, but she
20:54
would a guy. But I don't care, you know, I'll
20:56
go over there and do.
20:57
Some raunchy shit because they took they said, do you
21:00
yourself d o C dropping off cock?
21:02
Okay, I
21:05
shouldn't standing
21:09
up.
21:11
Job.
21:14
I'm sorry, but
21:16
what well.
21:17
That's not that's not a thousand,
21:20
but it's close
21:23
close enough.
21:24
You know, we was, we was getting it in back then. But
21:28
still them boys didn't want to let me play.
21:31
You know.
21:31
But you said something one time, you
21:34
said, it's some doors. Ye, I'm
21:39
not a door guy. I
21:43
didn't go to the door either, because
21:47
I'm already on that all. If
21:50
I go through that door, it's gonna be a whole lot of.
21:55
Because I'm not gonna lie to accept none of that.
21:58
It's gonna be a proper.
22:02
Don't let that again.
22:04
You you you Yeah.
22:09
But one thing again about
22:11
the documentary, which is so dope. It's
22:14
not to only see people give you your flowers and
22:16
give you your praises, but to
22:18
see how many people are actually
22:20
your fans. Like I've
22:22
never seen Imminem like be vulnerable
22:24
like that. I've never seen doctor Drake smile
22:26
like that. Like you can tell like he
22:29
really like like you his brother,
22:31
like like it had nothing to do with blood.
22:34
You can just tell, like the way he talks about
22:36
you. Everything is just
22:38
like I love I
22:40
love that people are not afraid to give you
22:43
your flowers. Do you feel that?
22:44
Yeah? Bro, I love that.
22:46
I love it. But it's not the
22:49
type of character you are, you know what I'm saying.
22:50
But when when one of the things
22:53
that you see when you see that that film
22:56
is exactly what you've never.
22:57
Seen Drake like that, right, I never seen
23:00
the mother. Brother's happy, But how did
23:02
that happen?
23:04
And so I know in his heart he's happy
23:06
because he can see this guy might be
23:08
finally getting to that stage where
23:10
he's gonna stand up and take care of his business, right
23:13
you know? So it's that big brother shit. But
23:16
you've seen anything. Even when he started talking
23:18
ship, I'm right there.
23:19
I love ship.
23:21
Hello, and he wanted to he.
23:22
Want to play me about that?
23:25
Listen, y'all, I haven't watched this on
23:29
your job? When is
23:31
this dropping? When is this coming?
23:32
No?
23:32
What I'm still dealing with.
23:36
I'm still dealing with the with the see
23:39
it now, you gotta be very careful.
23:41
Okay.
23:45
I'm not a door guy, you
23:48
know what I mean? And so I gotta figure out what
23:50
what rush the door? You know what I'm
23:52
saying, Because it's important. It's
23:54
an important film. Not just
23:57
for me and nigga boing my
23:59
I'm I'm West Dallas. Nigga tryna
24:03
get my bearings back and
24:05
and and make this life
24:08
mean some shit right Other than
24:10
this, nigga can rap her.
24:11
But you know what I mean.
24:13
I got a seven year old
24:15
son and a nine year old son,
24:18
and Jill d waited til I became a man,
24:20
m to give me those gifts,
24:25
cause I understand that in order for them
24:27
to become a man, they have to see a
24:29
man m.
24:30
You know what I mean.
24:31
So I have to be a man that
24:33
means those things that I those
24:35
childish things. I gotta let that shit go. You
24:38
know, all the
24:40
the the playing games
24:42
for females a well,
24:45
now all the playing games.
24:51
Not show you
24:55
know better, you know, being a
24:57
a righteous father.
24:58
And not just for my son, my sons, because
25:01
it's a lot of sons that don't have nothing,
25:04
you know what I mean, trying to represent for them
25:07
where I come from, because that
25:10
to me, it's just.
25:11
Is just super important.
25:12
When I start trying to do work in the community,
25:14
man and understanding what these young
25:16
boys is doing out there, and I
25:19
said, will blow your mind.
25:20
Bro, and you wonder how
25:23
hot the hell? Well what
25:25
what?
25:26
Like?
25:26
It's just fucking nuts and
25:29
what you thinking?
25:29
What's going on now? Yeah? Yeah, like
25:31
even people making disreconds, that's actually
25:33
recons that's kill kill you record.
25:37
Yeah. I never thought thought
25:39
it'd be that's that's it.
25:41
But that's that bullshit. That that's that ego
25:43
ship. Everybody want to be what Saint
25:45
Jordan's don't. Nobody want to be Scotty. Everybody
25:48
want to be the biggest, baddest, you
25:50
know, wolf wolf.
25:51
It's like brainwashedh it to think that this
25:53
is the route to take that,
25:56
to go public with these crazy
25:58
things, doing these things you're talking about, it.
26:00
Gets you popular.
26:01
It's why these.
26:02
Boys don't think about where you're gonna be at
26:04
in five years. That's what If you ask
26:06
them that that that'll be the hardest question
26:08
in they like to answer because they don't think
26:10
that far. They think you
26:13
can go out and shoot the motherfucker on Tuesday,
26:15
and next week they'll do shit
26:17
again. And that's I
26:20
don't understand that once you start playing
26:23
those games, that
26:25
that life is different, man, you know I man,
26:27
and you might not never make it back to
26:29
these Now I'm giving these kids jews
26:32
from this experience because
26:36
driving with that all in me
26:39
and reckon out on that freeway, that shit
26:41
took almost thirty years from
26:43
me before I got back to
26:45
a space where I can, you know, handle
26:48
some business. You know,
26:50
but I keep telling you it's g O D thing.
26:52
But look at do me a favor though, humor
26:55
meaning let's take it back, because I
26:57
want I want to get into the meat
26:59
and potato of how you got to hear go
27:02
back to Texas, feel
27:04
a fresh crew is starting? How do you how
27:06
does that connect to Ruthless Records? How does
27:09
how do you become an m C? How does that
27:11
connect to Ruthless Records?
27:12
Because I've seen an interview with Easy said he
27:15
was part of a rack crew. I was like, damn, bro,
27:18
that's how he ad.
27:21
That's just he was talking about.
27:23
Okay, okay, and
27:26
we went we weren't the best.
27:31
He was hard like that.
27:34
But uh yeah, So the
27:37
DJ that group was dude
27:39
that was on the radio. He
27:41
used to be in the in the same DJ
27:44
crew that Drake came.
27:45
From Working crew. Yeah, really
27:48
okay, when.
27:48
It was just DJs Florida before
27:51
they.
27:51
Started, when there was wearing the shiny Jackets Jackets.
27:56
They didn't make it till that level because
27:59
that was and they was good already.
28:02
So when he made it to Dallas, he
28:05
had a lot of their underground records,
28:08
and he made their underground music god in
28:10
Dalla Dallas. And then when they visited Dallas,
28:13
dre heard me. He was like, bro,
28:15
you just shit. If you was in La we'll
28:18
be rich. And I was like, shit,
28:20
let's.
28:21
Let's steal it.
28:21
Let's go get the guys judging your musical for the
28:24
FEEDO crew. Yeah, okay, continue, but
28:26
he's singling you out and the crew.
28:27
Yeah, because when I said let's go get the
28:29
other guys, he was like, nah, I ain't talking about.
28:31
That because you wouldn't
28:33
because it just feel the fresh crew in here.
28:36
But but I was like, nah,
28:38
I came. I mean, now, hey, hell no, I
28:41
can't just go to California.
28:43
They gonna lay my.
28:44
Because I think that partner's interested about
28:46
that is you not only moved to California,
28:48
but you moved to Compton, which you said, I
28:50
believe you described it as a beautiful
28:52
place in the daytime, but
28:55
nighttime all home.
28:56
But that's how early in the development of Ruthless
28:58
that you moved in like basically with them.
29:00
Oh yeah, oh yeah, it was a It was
29:02
a motherfucker because I'm not a
29:04
bro.
29:04
I'm not a thug dude, That's never been
29:07
my I'm a writer. I'm an artist
29:09
for real, man. Yeah,
29:11
I love and breed to be good at that, you
29:14
know what I mean. And so when
29:16
I went out there and them boys started, you
29:19
know, I'm gonna do what I can to help y'all. I
29:21
knew that you're never gonna be able to
29:23
get where you can. You're never
29:26
gonna be able to be all that you can be unless
29:28
you can get this stuff that you're doing on the radio.
29:31
So I can write the kind of songs
29:33
fright Eric that are funny.
29:36
And be easy for people who don't know.
29:39
That are that are funny and
29:41
entertaining that won't scare white
29:43
folks.
29:44
You know, they're they'll laugh. I wanna.
29:47
And so that's that was my job.
29:49
So you came up with kind of making him a character
29:51
in a child because you you easy
29:54
does it?
29:54
Yeah? No, easy does it? Yeah? Easy
29:57
does it?
29:57
And the playful rhymes, the way he played loud.
29:59
Okay, I do a motherfucking
30:01
walk by, you know, just funny ship
30:04
in a way that the gang uh street
30:06
guys were respected and Easy
30:08
could carry it because he's not faking
30:11
he Oh yeah, oh,
30:13
he's one thousand percent.
30:15
I never got to me Easy, and I never got to be Tupac.
30:18
Tupac was a real one too.
30:19
Oh yeah, sh you never got
30:21
that close, real.
30:22
Real ship talker.
30:23
He talked ship to me all the time, but
30:27
he waited till I had the wreck and start stalking
30:29
that ship. He first
30:31
time I met him, he was he was still dancing
30:34
for uh
30:38
Underground right he was in He was
30:40
in a limo, and then then we rode
30:43
from the limo to the I was performing
30:45
with those guys. My single just came out,
30:48
performing in Kansas City or somewhere.
30:49
We rode in the limo. Got never said two
30:52
words to me. You know. Now,
30:55
fast forward after my wreck thing happened.
30:58
He and mc breed we're
31:00
really good friends and
31:03
uh direct didn't happened to chronicle
31:05
all the uh that stuff
31:08
has happened, and we in at Atlanta.
31:11
I think this is when he around
31:13
the time he getting into it with the police and
31:16
tearing up Itchy bond over Breed all
31:18
of that stuff and he, uh,
31:20
I'm at Brede's house and he flies in died
31:23
for some brother man. They finally ran your ass.
31:25
I forgot that. I didn't
31:27
like that. That made me mad, you know.
31:30
Yeah it's true, you know, Uh,
31:33
but Nigga not in him good? Uh
31:35
but no he was Uh, he was a
31:37
little ship talking. But he had a he had
31:39
a heart of gold, you know, and
31:42
a solid brother.
31:43
And and I
31:48
have similarities in that seminis.
31:50
Yeah, and now we're we're
31:52
great writers and thinkers and
31:55
good good on the inside and
31:58
shouldn't And it was in that space what
32:00
we shouldn't have been, right, you know, those
32:03
aren't our people. We shouldn't have been in the middle
32:05
of.
32:05
That, right now, do you
32:07
do there's there's there's something found
32:09
what he just said. No, I know that
32:11
there's something that I wanted to reiterated.
32:14
Think about the No Bazanline
32:16
record. Rice Scool comes
32:18
out with this record.
32:19
The.
32:22
Greatest inside
32:24
of it.
32:24
At that point, yeah, well, did
32:30
you feel like I gotta go petitive this back?
32:32
I was like ni.
32:36
Because it never n w A never did a full
32:38
dis It was only just some shots in some songs.
32:40
But but but Benedict Donald,
32:42
I think was the one. But did. Did anybody
32:45
from the crew get mad at you? Like why he ain't
32:47
say your name? Another
32:50
one?
32:51
Because there was.
32:53
Because every everybody if this drink
32:55
chest and they don't this e f N. I think you got
32:57
something going on.
33:03
I think you knew because he had come to the
33:05
hospital and seeing oh wow wow,
33:08
he knew it'd be like trying to beat up a handicapped
33:11
kid at that point, so he just
33:13
told their ass other than I. But I
33:15
was so happy about that because
33:17
he hate.
33:18
Breakfast, you
33:19
know, the greatest record
33:22
his.
33:22
Music from the first line the last.
33:25
You don't let up on none of them.
33:28
But this is a famous argument that
33:30
we had on drink chefs. Well,
33:32
he famously had man, we're gonna bring it up here. Yes, he
33:34
famously had it. And this ice
33:37
cube or Biggie
33:39
Smalls. That wasn't the way it started to
33:41
I hate Did you hear
33:43
about this argument? What did you think
33:45
of this argument? Well, if I'm
33:47
being honest, you have to be pleased.
33:50
That's a hard one, bro, because
33:54
they are too the greatest storytellers
33:56
ever, but they're telling.
33:58
Him in different ways, in different ways.
34:01
And see I'm a MC and
34:04
so the white Big Swing is
34:07
me in
34:11
a competition. I can compete with that the
34:14
ship that you'll be doing, I can't compete
34:16
with that ship because he's doing it in
34:18
a way that that's unfamiliar to me. And
34:21
it's always that furnst line and
34:25
in any of the songs where he added
34:28
it's the first time you know on yeah,
34:31
you know he's gonna tell your ass up from that
34:33
first goddamn line. God damn,
34:35
I'm glad y'all said it. I'll say, you
34:38
already know some shit.
34:42
I gonna lie. I think that was the quietest I've ever
34:44
been in Drink Champ's history, because I had no opinion.
34:47
I just left them again to set the record
34:49
strat. It wasn't what you're saying. He just asked
34:51
me. Tony asked me who was my favorite?
34:54
I said it Cube was always my favorite.
34:57
And then he just took offense to Q being my
34:59
favorite and then throw Biggie. And then that's when
35:01
we started going back.
35:02
Because I understand both arguments. I
35:04
clearly understand both arguments. Like
35:07
if you're from East Coast, when
35:09
Biggie came out, there is very few
35:11
moments other than when Eddie Murphy came
35:13
out that it
35:16
was just a Chris due Locke like, and
35:20
we literally couldn't hear nothing else but Biggie
35:23
on the New York side, including anybody
35:25
into hip hop. This is anything else but Biggie.
35:28
But I was too young to actually
35:31
fill the first version
35:33
of ice Cube Wave.
35:35
So that's the reason why I was like, I
35:38
was a diehard fan. Listen, I'm gonna tell
35:40
you something.
35:41
Before I met West Coast hip hop, I
35:44
was scared of all West Coast artists because
35:46
y'all described the shit. I thought Compton
35:48
was a jail straight
35:51
out of Compton. I was like, wait a minute. I
35:53
was like, I don't want to be locked up here. Like I
35:55
was like, yo, what the fuck? But because
35:58
it was so different from the East Coast
36:00
that when you described it, it
36:02
was like Holy ship. Like when just
36:04
just hearing the description of.
36:06
West Coast, they changed hip hop the way that they
36:08
came out and conveyed that emotion that
36:11
hadn't been done in hip hop's in
36:13
my opinion, and just going back to the ice Cube
36:15
thing, my favorite groups of the time were n w A
36:17
and Public Enemy. When Q belize
36:20
and it's with the Bomb Squad that's it.
36:22
It's solidified for me, who my favorite MC
36:24
at that time was.
36:25
Right, there's a lot of synergy
36:27
between Yeah.
36:29
To me, it's the same opposite side to respect.
36:31
That's right.
36:31
And they had the same energy.
36:33
Dre and I every single
36:35
morning on the way
36:38
to the studio listened to her. It takes
36:40
a nation.
36:41
Every get me. Wow. Wow,
36:44
that's that's that's that's great.
36:46
It was that same energy from
36:48
from their perspective. That's why
36:50
I had that. And it was supposed to
36:52
go that way. But the machine, the
36:55
door guys.
36:58
The fucking door guy store guys got
37:01
it.
37:01
And said we can do it like this and
37:04
it'll do that, and we bought
37:07
that shitty Crush Groove is my favorite
37:09
movie of all time. Right, it's when
37:11
Galaxy Records came. Galaxy
37:13
Records all mofucker.
37:15
Man. I
37:17
wanted to beat ship out there, whoever
37:22
the guy was that played Galaxy Records
37:24
in the movie, because he still run
37:27
away from Russell
37:30
in the movie. And that's what the game
37:32
got shitted on.
37:33
Man. You know, I
37:35
heard you say in the interview as well. He
37:39
said Easy and Sugar
37:41
went through the same thing, and
37:44
I thought that was so deep because
37:49
I don't think I think Easy, I
37:52
think Sugar. Example, was easy
37:56
to the fact that if what you're saying
37:58
is true, that means that Shure
38:01
didn't learn from Easy. He
38:03
took easies as like whatever.
38:06
But most
38:09
street those
38:11
are the two street gangsters that I knew, you
38:13
know, in the industry. I mean not no,
38:16
like no. But what I'm saying is I knew about.
38:18
Easy was that was a powerful thing,
38:21
like what y'all was doing.
38:23
And then death
38:25
Row. I had never seen that neither you
38:28
to be a part of both fucking movements. The world
38:30
hadn't seen what de Throw created. The
38:32
world didn't see what n w A created,
38:36
but you can you can see the environment that
38:38
the music was created death
38:41
Row. I had never seen
38:43
so much power at one point. At
38:45
one point, I remember meeting me going to meet
38:47
Leo Cohens one time through
38:50
the guard. He was in Vegas and
38:53
Leo cohmes, he meets me and
38:55
he goes, I just set.
38:57
Fro guice really
38:59
like, you know, because I'm on my own dick
39:01
at the time. I'm like, wait, death Row
39:03
guys, so whatever. Every
39:07
one of them had a presidential and
39:09
I was just like, at the time, I
39:13
didn't know what that shit meant, but
39:16
I knew what he was saying.
39:17
He was like, no, normal, you don't understand.
39:20
It's most of the time it's one Rowlex
39:23
or it's one He's like every fucking
39:25
person walking with death Row had
39:28
a new fucking Rolex. He said, he
39:30
ran out the way.
39:33
This is what you think because he wanted that for every
39:35
death Jam artist. Is that what I believe
39:38
he did. I believe he didn't want that, and I believe
39:40
that that was the first time you see like black
39:42
power. Like I don't know if it
39:44
was abused because I wasn't privileged
39:47
to be around that much. But
39:50
I remember that, and I remember and
39:53
this is not no racial thing, but I remember, this is
39:55
the most powerful white man in the industry.
39:58
And he looked at me like, joh, let's
40:00
not go downstairs right now, like
40:03
the death real guys just walked by.
40:06
I was like, what, no, no, bro, he was
40:08
a small guy to
40:12
get that ship.
40:15
A little bit and maybe a young dumb
40:17
full of come from the hood. I'm not even respecting
40:19
it. But
40:22
boy, but I had no winds. I
40:24
did not know that. But what I'm saying
40:26
is.
40:27
Some of the things that I have seen, right,
40:29
my brother, what So.
40:31
What I'm saying is because this is what I want to ask. We got
40:33
to get it. You got to see you got to see easy
40:36
one of the most powerful black street
40:38
guys. It's very important for us
40:40
to say, you know, street not because
40:43
of maybe not the education, but for where he came
40:45
from. Here, because it's possible that a
40:47
street guy right now can do it and do it
40:49
right.
40:49
That's right.
40:50
Then you got Shug who actually kind
40:52
of wasn't a street guy. It was a college
40:55
guy that actually got
40:57
some street education and from the streets
40:59
wore up right two different opposites
41:01
and ended up the same exact work.
41:03
You know what, bro, you just added a level
41:05
to it to that I hadn't even thought of a right
41:09
and and that's the hell of a point, you
41:11
know, because I don't know shoes DNA,
41:16
I don't know his story real I
41:18
hear it the same way that other both do.
41:21
I know that he's a thrill
41:24
and twenty five dog
41:29
out there.
41:30
You know that.
41:31
You know, Yeah, he's not mad,
41:33
he's not scared. He's gonna make
41:35
it, do what to do.
41:37
But I
41:39
don't want no point from none of that ship, you know, unless
41:42
I'm loaded, and.
41:43
Then let's go get it. But
41:46
the difference between he and Eric.
41:49
That's easy bigger itself up from heaven right
41:51
now? Yeah? Yeah,
41:54
call me Easy, I call me Eric.
41:55
Do you see
41:58
difference between easy and
42:00
it?
42:01
Sure?
42:05
Sure Easy was quiet, but
42:08
just as powerful. Sure
42:11
was flashy with his power.
42:14
He wanted you to know it, but Eric
42:17
wouldn't. Didn't want you to unless you had
42:19
to know it. But you know he was
42:22
because he was getting it and you gotta show
42:24
it.
42:24
Off because he didn't want to even wrap originally.
42:26
Right. Is that true?
42:27
Well, that's what they said, because.
42:28
That's what That's what I've heard a bunch of times. They was
42:30
like clowning them to get into the booth.
42:33
He didn't have any rap skills at all.
42:36
I love that. His rhythm was horrible,
42:39
but he had charisma.
42:41
Character. That's right, that voice and
42:45
that it that you gotta have to be a
42:47
and authenticity.
42:48
That's right or what he was talking about.
42:49
That's right.
42:50
Because one line he said, ice Cube writes the romes
42:52
down. I
42:54
didn't know how hard that line was, so
42:56
I got older. I was like, he said, you.
42:58
Said, I had no idea he was gonna say that.
43:03
I really want to say, I'm not gonna fake it on the record.
43:06
I'm gonna tell you exactly what's going on, right, And
43:09
you know what, it's crazy. I
43:11
don't think there's no one in this world that don't look
43:13
at Easy as over see. I know everyone
43:16
listen, he told that
43:18
to our face. He didn't he
43:20
wasn't behind the back.
43:21
And they arguing about all of these guys
43:24
and the trade something
43:26
of these kind of that where he can't
43:28
be this because they
43:30
all love it easiest the
43:32
one, you know. But that's that's
43:35
the nature of this. That's why I try never
43:37
to get into those those colors
43:39
conversations because you
43:41
notice this game, nor yet the artists.
43:44
We stand on the shoulders and those that came
43:47
before us, nobody.
43:49
You can't be those that came after
43:51
me. You can't be the greatest without
43:55
me, So we the greatest
43:57
someone.
43:58
It's a collective, it's a colue over the hell you are
44:01
true, But hold up you saying
44:04
and I want to clarify because you said that they ended up
44:06
in the same place, Sugar and Easy.
44:07
What do you mean by that? Because he pretty much
44:09
like you know, came to power and then you know,
44:11
lost their power. That's what Because we really don't know what would
44:13
have happened with easy had he survived. That's
44:16
true.
44:18
See doctor
44:22
Dre was the keeting everything, so.
44:25
You think that's it. Once Dre left, what
44:29
happened? You don't think they would have ever amended
44:31
their their problem.
44:33
Yeah, I think they did. Talks about
44:35
seeing easy in New York at the club.
44:37
I think I think even even in the movie, didn't they
44:39
say that Dre him at the hospital.
44:41
Orth Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that they would have
44:43
figured they started out, yeah at
44:45
the end of the day, but but now business is vass
44:47
Or is different.
44:49
You can't go back to that.
44:51
So you're saying it could have been another record
44:53
besides Grand Finale. I
44:56
would have loved this too.
44:58
Then we can't forget Ren and a part of that equation
45:00
such an incredible as well.
45:03
You know what, I wanted to see easy
45:05
E with a Twitter, easy
45:08
E on Instagram. He might not a humor social
45:10
media Nah, I think he would. I think
45:12
I think he would have been I think I
45:15
think he would have decision.
45:16
He didn't have made a dollar.
45:21
And I notice is kind of a cliche to say
45:23
right now, right because
45:26
most people when they're making history, they
45:28
kind of don't know they're making history or sometimes
45:31
it's kind of like you do you do know
45:33
it from the n WA
45:35
days, Did you know you was a part of the
45:38
most iconic group that thirty
45:40
five years later, people is still the
45:43
same exact way it's like, and
45:46
people are still saying the same exact message.
45:48
It's still fuck the police thirty
45:51
five years later.
45:53
I knew, we didn't know.
45:55
I knew, bro, I knew. See.
45:59
Most think the gift is in my
46:01
pen, but it's in my ears.
46:04
Oh, same
46:06
as d thinks
46:08
it's in its production. And
46:10
it's engineering. That's what the that's
46:13
what the magic is. So anybody,
46:16
anybody can make a head record.
46:17
Anybody can we know, consistent
46:22
making great ship, consistent quality.
46:24
Yeah, you have to have quality control. And
46:27
that's hard for niggas that
46:29
don't give a fuck about quality. They just give a fuck
46:32
about.
46:33
Making sure that you don't disrespect them or
46:35
they look a certain way, or it's
46:38
the stuff they talking about. But Dre
46:40
is an animal when it when it
46:42
comes to quality control. But
46:45
those aren't rumors when they say you'll
46:47
be in there behind that microphone, not
46:50
hours on a word on
46:53
a word he said. Now,
46:56
when I put the script on his ass and got
46:59
him in.
46:59
There that
47:02
you don't like that,
47:04
But.
47:06
He taught me that you.
47:07
Probably the only one who could do that to him. Though I think he
47:10
don't like it, that's good, that's great.
47:12
He does not like it.
47:13
I bet you the vocals come out good. That's right, that's
47:16
what we want.
47:18
And uh
47:19
uh, but I've
47:21
seen them boys grow into
47:23
great iconic figures
47:27
and I'm I'm extremely blessed
47:30
that I call them guys and my brothers right
47:33
and to have been on that journey
47:35
with them man and go
47:40
through that learning process. But but ship,
47:42
I'm ready for mine now. You know,
47:45
I love my guys, but
47:47
I'm trying. I'm trying to make some new dealc
47:50
ship starting with that film
47:52
right then going into these communities
47:55
with these schools and these programs.
47:59
Then more mut.
48:00
Music, whether I had an operation
48:03
M or just use
48:07
this AI opportunity. You
48:12
know, I haven't figured that out yet.
48:15
AI opportunity saying like use the AI for
48:19
little bit his penant.
48:21
He'll he could even say if lady was trying
48:23
to do that, Yeah, I heard that too.
48:24
I think cigarettes out to me about that. Yeah
48:26
yeah, and
48:27
uh, you know, everybody
48:30
feel this way.
48:31
They feel that way, but it's
48:33
not possible for me unless
48:35
I get those masters back. So when
48:37
the lady called and said she was
48:39
interested in giving me my master's back,
48:42
it seemed like a g O.
48:43
D thing.
48:44
Okay, you ain't gotta go get cut
48:47
on it. If you you want it back that bad,
48:49
I'll give it to you. You know, trying
48:51
to tell me that this voice is important.
48:53
You need to keep this one because
48:55
when you talk now, motherfuckers are
48:57
doing this trying to
49:00
what the fuck you gotta say. And so I'm
49:02
gonna take it advantage of that that opportunity
49:05
and and do the right thing with it. But
49:11
artistically, it's
49:14
much more important for me to
49:17
see if I could do in Dallas for what
49:19
I did, and Dallas for worth
49:21
of what what I helped do in
49:24
l A. That's where I'm at
49:26
with it.
49:26
It's a legacy thing for you.
49:27
Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean.
49:29
I ain't got the money
49:32
yet, but
49:35
uh, I got
49:37
my mind back. I mean, that's
49:39
the most important thing. I don't
49:42
you know, I don't consume.
49:44
Uh.
49:47
I try to stay away from all things for that
49:49
now. Now will smoke a little bit, which I
49:54
will smoke it, uh,
50:00
but you know, I lead other stuff along
50:03
because it's a detriment to
50:05
me and other folks that have struggled
50:08
with that stuff. I try to,
50:10
uh, you know, be responsible
50:12
enough to be a light for other people that
50:14
might be going through that same ship
50:17
that I had to go through, because it's not gonna
50:19
help you, you know what I mean.
50:21
If you're run him from some ship trying to.
50:23
Find it in a bottle or in them pills
50:26
or or that
50:28
that that that yeah yo, or whatever
50:30
you're fucking.
50:31
With, just be honest a poison.
50:33
I in love what.
50:36
You know, whatever you're doing it,
50:39
you're only gonna get past about by by
50:41
facing your demon right whatever.
50:43
That is. Another one, let's
50:45
talk about Future Shock right. That
50:48
was the name of the label before Death Row Right and
50:50
then and at that time when it was called
50:52
Future Shot, I believe it was
50:54
you, Dre and Shock as
50:57
partners.
50:58
It was me and Dre's company on the
51:00
thirty five percent apiece.
51:03
Okay, uh, there was h thirty
51:06
percent left and Sugar
51:08
and Dick Griffy where that where
51:10
to split.
51:11
That that that Harry came after that,
51:13
yeah, okay, so so Sugar
51:15
Dick Griffy took the other half.
51:18
Yeah.
51:18
Well, by the time Ireo
51:21
came Sugar and Drake took it a
51:23
haul, and and
51:25
and when they did their business with uh, with
51:27
Jimmy.
51:28
With Jimmy, and what was your relationship
51:30
with Jimmy. He's the only one I didn't see
51:32
it in the documentary.
51:33
I think Jimmy is a great guy. He's been He's
51:36
been a real positive
51:40
uh influence on Dre right
51:43
and helping him get to where he is today. Right
51:46
they made He's helped my my guy
51:48
make big as the dollars, right. And
51:50
so I can't get anybody a lot for Jimmy,
51:53
you know.
51:54
Uh.
51:56
And i'ma I'm gonna stick. I'm gonna stick with that story.
51:59
I kind of I kind of felt like Jimmy was special
52:01
when when
52:05
Dre left right and
52:09
it was said because I mean, obviously I'm not in
52:11
the business like that, it was said that he
52:13
left millions behind, like when he left death
52:15
Row, he left millions behind, but he chose
52:19
to leave, but he chose to
52:21
stick with Jimmy's right. I knew
52:23
that they had a special type of relationship.
52:26
I knew that Jimmy
52:28
had to make whatever it
52:31
was with sug right, but
52:33
he had to make sure that he made sure his golden
52:35
chob was right, and I remember it
52:39
was an aftermath project and then it was
52:41
a Firm project, which I was a part of. I was a part
52:43
of the Firm project was one of one of the most successful
52:45
records on the Firm projects. You can look
52:48
it up. You can look it up. I
52:50
remember, I remember, like I
52:53
mean, recording with Dre at that time, and you know, he was recorded
52:55
with a bunch of East Coast guys nas A Z.
52:58
Kimmels around.
53:00
No.
53:00
I believe, no, I don't think he was
53:02
around that, and I believe it was like
53:04
Dre's like
53:07
like I don't want to call it purgatory, but it's like somewhere
53:10
where like you know, it wasn't he
53:12
wasn't. He wasn't. He was getting it together still.
53:14
It's getting together still. And I
53:17
just remember him sticking with Jimmy, and I remember
53:20
there's something special about that relationship.
53:22
There's something because most
53:25
people, like with the strict situation, he
53:29
would have blamed. Most people were blamed Jimmy as well.
53:31
Because he wasn't in business with both of
53:33
them at the same time, but both of them.
53:35
But the fact that Drake didn't
53:38
and it was like I'm gonna move on, but I'm
53:40
gonna move on with you. I knew that Jimmy
53:42
was bro.
53:43
It ain't want to see you know, and you know
53:46
what was going on in that But sure
53:48
that created this world, but he
53:51
controlled it. Dude
53:55
said, content is like prison, and
53:58
really going to that studio every day
54:00
it was being like being on the yard. You
54:02
know you bro, it was it
54:05
was rough. They was in there looking
54:07
like they was ready to bench press
54:09
eight thousand pounds.
54:13
And ready to just do whatever going
54:16
on.
54:16
Because I know this blood. I
54:19
mean remember the Warren g story alone. I don't
54:22
remember you ever seeing you wear rat at all.
54:25
Look like you, brother, I don't remember
54:27
you ever seeing you wear rat.
54:28
Oh yeah, I wear red. Oh
54:32
you know, Mom'm just a gu'ma I'm a good
54:34
nigga. Ray I can go. I can
54:36
go anywhere. Yes,
54:38
I go to I go to content. If I'm in, if
54:41
I'm on one side, they call me d oc. If
54:44
I'm on the other side, they call me d o B. I
54:48
answered, everybody, it's
54:58
all good because I never going
55:00
to I never understood
55:02
that.
55:03
That uh, the politics and.
55:04
Mentality the way the way they did. I was raised
55:07
in Dallas, Texas, man we.
55:09
Did in the projects.
55:09
Yeah, we didn't get out like that, right,
55:12
you.
55:12
Know we was in gang banging going on.
55:14
Well, when I left, there wasn't banging.
55:16
Right until I came back. Yeah, or
55:18
when I came blood and gripping.
55:20
I mean, listen to the ice cue Summer vacation,
55:23
right. Oh, I always saying this
55:25
shod the movie of that doll explain everything.
55:27
I left Dallas in eighty
55:29
seven, eighty eight. When
55:33
I came back with a finished record in eighty
55:35
nine, when I left,
55:37
it looked like everybody looked like Hudiny. When
55:41
I came back, everybody looked like Easy,
55:43
the whole.
55:44
Fucking city era.
55:47
It was like a cultural shock and shit, I
55:49
was like, what the fuck did happened?
55:51
Like these people haven't changed with me. You were to call and they went
55:53
to Collon too.
55:54
I came back. I thought I was messing with They all
55:57
looked like me, and.
55:59
We was all trying to look like Eric Easy.
56:02
But what but what you what you said earlier
56:04
today, uh
56:07
about that time period is exactly
56:10
correct, right, that hip
56:12
hop is still in
56:14
that same spot, and Easy
56:17
is still the prototype
56:19
for every hip hop commercially
56:22
successful artist that's in the game.
56:25
Ninety nine point nine percent of them today.
56:28
Right. I mean if you listen to
56:30
what you guys was waiting for Easy and you
56:32
listen to Trill, your other father
56:35
of it.
56:37
Yeah, listen to Trill
56:39
music now Cbe was
56:42
no, No, you gotta take that part too.
56:45
No, I tell you that you gotta take
56:47
that part to Cube was.
56:48
The spirit but in w
56:50
A that's why it had a revolutionary.
56:56
Right on Cube lift Easy.
56:58
Is just a thug just want to talk about
57:01
murder, death, guil.
57:02
They don't give a fuck who dies, And
57:05
so that's wh it turned into that and
57:08
that's what the world was built up off
57:11
of.
57:11
And at least as far the music is concerned.
57:13
But I mean had a little revolutionary site. It was
57:15
just he was way more hardcore about.
57:17
It, right, But Cube
57:19
was que
57:23
led led
57:25
those guys musically
57:28
artistically. Yeah, you know what I mean?
57:29
When when when he rolled and we followed
57:33
the pathy when he left, you
57:35
know, everybody's just talking about, like
57:38
I said, murder, death, guil uh
57:40
rn and started doing uh
57:43
it's more revolutionary
57:46
stuff that he did his record
57:49
and then he could lead this because he was
57:51
following error. He was following the Easies lead
57:53
after Cube left.
57:55
You know, you know what's crazy people say
57:58
that since then that was that's probably like the West
58:00
the last West Coast on West Coast Beat.
58:05
Or l A.
58:06
Yeah, I mean you're game and rast cast
58:10
but other than ice.
58:13
Cube Verse and and it
58:16
got got pretty serious with the Lynch Mob
58:18
and and with n w A.
58:20
Yeah, it got pretty serious to step in,
58:22
right, I
58:24
don't remember.
58:26
I think farrakhn was a part.
58:28
Of q Cormon and yeah he got involved
58:30
in that one, yep.
58:31
But but it
58:35
may have been the hostile on records,
58:37
but it never made it streets,
58:39
Yeah, never made it very far. Chase Dreve
58:42
wasn't trying to and
58:44
I don't think easy was it
58:47
was.
58:47
You know, he was still winning, right,
58:49
you know, he had found the bone guys, right,
58:52
so he was back in the game, mh.
58:55
And we was just trying to figure out how
58:58
we going in where the you go now?
59:00
Because Cravers, I don't want
59:03
to say afraid he
59:05
didn't know what he was gonna do. You
59:07
know, he didn't want to do a record. He
59:09
didn't like his voice, you don't like how
59:11
he sounds. He doesn't think he could carry up
59:14
a solo record, like
59:16
yes, you can.
59:17
Just want to be behind the boards.
59:18
Yeah, but
59:21
no, bro, you all we.
59:22
Got his name was too big.
59:24
He was the one and don't worry about it.
59:26
I'm gonna be right here and we don't want to woo. But
59:29
he didn't feel it. But when Snoop came
59:32
and uh one, she played a demo
59:36
which Snoop Yeah.
59:38
Two three, that's warm and g Snoop and.
59:41
Yeah played at a bachelor
59:43
party for somebody that's crazy,
59:46
and and the bachelor party loved
59:48
Snoop. Snoop came to the studio
59:50
the next day or two and
59:53
and.
59:53
That was it. You know, it
59:55
was on after that and they
59:58
he moved.
59:58
Snoop moved from Long Beach
1:00:01
into my house in
1:00:03
the valley and we
1:00:06
did that for about six months. Then
1:00:08
I got kicked out and we all
1:00:11
moved into drad But
1:00:17
that's how he got made. But
1:00:20
we be in that small and dank
1:00:23
and somebody will say something and then we'll be back
1:00:25
at it.
1:00:26
You know, it was beautiful. It was beautiful
1:00:28
times because it was just a close knit group
1:00:30
of friends.
1:00:31
I can't lie to you when I look at the footage.
1:00:34
Are y'all making the chronic and
1:00:36
y'all just in the studio and Dre hitting
1:00:38
the pianos and y'all just sitting there
1:00:40
bullshitting like I just wanted
1:00:42
to be a fucking fly on the wall, bro Like,
1:00:45
because again, I
1:00:47
just asked you this question earlier. Did you
1:00:49
know he was making history? He said,
1:00:51
you kind of did.
1:00:52
Oh, yeah, you had to know him because already
1:00:54
what you're accomplished of that.
1:00:56
Even if that's the case, you might
1:00:58
have known you making history and you
1:01:00
don't know the grad video is
1:01:03
because I mean, you
1:01:06
know how it's gonna impact where it's gonna go.
1:01:08
Well, when you made the chronic you heard
1:01:12
just like you heard it.
1:01:13
I heard it.
1:01:20
Imagine that the studio you
1:01:22
already know what it was.
1:01:24
And you went from
1:01:28
she Thinks to little Ghetto
1:01:30
Boy to raditat
1:01:32
Tide and all of these. He was like, Oh, he's
1:01:34
finna kill these mother and then Snoop
1:01:37
is gonna be matter of fact, one
1:01:39
Deep Covered drop. Yeah,
1:01:43
he was like, oh man, this shit is over with this nigga's
1:01:45
mylan and Dre the
1:01:49
video to Deep Covered Trade didn't even want to do
1:01:51
the video. I had to trick him
1:01:54
to get up in.
1:01:54
The show and say just give him a.
1:01:57
Man.
1:01:58
He was salted at the mother bird because
1:02:00
he didn't want to do the video. By the time
1:02:02
you got your ass up there, you lake
1:02:04
the back out.
1:02:05
Now you can kind of see it in his face I think in the
1:02:07
video.
1:02:08
Damn, like he's bitter.
1:02:11
He was bist want to be there.
1:02:14
You had to get him now.
1:02:15
But that record single handedly was
1:02:18
like they set off that whole movement, and
1:02:21
it was crazy because it's who is Dre.
1:02:24
Everybody knows Dre, and it's this brand
1:02:26
new artist being put out there equally with Dre.
1:02:29
So that's what makes a crazy impact.
1:02:30
Everyone's scared to death if
1:02:32
you if you look at that, that video
1:02:35
so bad as a problem
1:02:38
connecting with the camera, the camera
1:02:41
because he doesn't know yet.
1:02:43
All street people, well, let me tell you something.
1:02:45
If you from the streets, if you look at anybody
1:02:47
that's from the streets, you cannot look
1:02:49
at the camera direct because we were taught not
1:02:51
to be in front of the cameras, and then we go
1:02:53
from not to be in front of the cameras to saying,
1:02:56
hey, oh so you're
1:02:58
always the most awkward in your first year. So said,
1:03:00
I didn't know that. Continue the g Thang video.
1:03:03
You see it the deep cover video.
1:03:05
You see it, but now you're seeing
1:03:08
you know what I mean. But he's
1:03:11
got he's on him. He's making shrimps
1:03:13
with Martha. Now you
1:03:16
know what I'm saying.
1:03:17
That's all up there with old Martha.
1:03:19
But Martha did the bed though, yeah, Martha
1:03:22
Gangster. No, no, yes, I
1:03:24
think Martha got a razor on her though. She
1:03:27
tried chopping it up with Snoop's got a razor.
1:03:30
He motherfucking tongue.
1:03:30
Yeah, she loves you do.
1:03:33
I want to talk about the Stewart. I want we

1:14:18
in parentheses in.
1:14:18
The Chronic even though
1:14:22
sonically Doggy
1:14:26
Style is a much better record.
1:14:28
Uh, I
1:14:31
kind of kind of get I got that. I listened
1:14:33
to him back and forth yesterday.
1:14:35
But the songs, the
1:14:37
actual songs that are put together are
1:14:40
better on the Chronic.
1:14:41
It's a better journey.
1:14:42
It's more fun, right, entertaining
1:14:45
the foundation to it. Yeah, it's the foundation.
1:14:48
Yeah, he learned to perfect that
1:14:50
for doggy style.
1:14:51
Yeah, and
1:14:54
there's a song called.
1:14:59
I've been Top and stop it like a rabbit
1:15:01
when I get the mini rocks, you know, like I still have it
1:15:04
ship.
1:15:04
Isn't it? Yuh?
1:15:07
First time I've heard Snoop freestylear
1:15:10
song. There's no words to that,
1:15:13
and it wasn't I'm a sit and think of the
1:15:15
line and say the next line. It
1:15:17
just came in and started rapping it. It's
1:15:19
why the line the rhymes.
1:15:22
Maybe Sam elementary because that's the way
1:15:24
he structured his stuff as a kid.
1:15:26
But he that song took about three
1:15:28
minutes to make seem like the
1:15:31
nigga just came in there. Drake cut the beat on, dude
1:15:34
started rapping. Drake said, stop, get
1:15:37
out the booth, wait
1:15:39
for wait for the break, then come back
1:15:41
here in a minute start stop
1:15:45
starting, no no
1:15:48
retakes, no nothing, one time through.
1:15:51
That was one take, one time through.
1:15:54
And the only other.
1:15:55
Person that is ever I've
1:15:57

We go to those
1:16:28

Beach guys, really,
1:16:33
the Donald Pound guys really made la because
1:16:37
me and Dry used to feud.
1:16:39
Because even though Long Beach is not considered l a right,
1:16:41
it's not considered that's right. Okay, but those
1:16:44
days took me.
1:16:44
Today they hood and I'm on
1:16:47
the block with these boys, and I'm kicking

1:16:49
Like you know, there's no red in Long Beach. It's
1:16:52
all blue.
1:16:54
I don't have to worry about where
1:16:56
I am or no, you
1:16:59
know, because I'm with these
1:17:01
boys and I haven't seen I

But he from Philly, from
1:17:21
but but he but he he's a he's
1:17:23
a neighborhood guy.
1:17:25
Every now and then I just like to get corrupt
1:17:27
mad because I like to have him to do you cut.
1:17:38
Let me tell you something if you've never heard Corrupt
1:17:40
curse when he's in crib.
1:17:42
Mole, it's the wonderfulest
1:17:45
thing ever. I'm just being honest with you. But
1:17:47
you just gotta pis him of up a little bit and
1:17:50
he he can't stop saying.
1:17:52
Cook cook cook cook cook cook,
1:17:54
coup cool on and he just keep
1:17:56
going and he.
1:17:59
It's the it's the most beautiful ist binocular.
1:18:03
I was in the human language when
1:18:06
Corp is mad and he's just on
1:18:08
his cuk cook cut me.
1:18:10
And uh Corrus going
1:18:13
at it. When I was when I out
1:18:16
there, I hang with them boys. During
1:18:18
that Grammy celebration,
1:18:22
I was talking to Corrupt and he was, you
1:18:24
know, Cruppers a dude, deep dude, Like
1:18:26
you don't get that from him just
1:18:28
on GP. But he's a deep
1:18:31
thinker. He's just is you know what I mean,
1:18:33
Like you can't come up with words.
1:18:34
Like lyricists yet and
1:18:37
he drink. Oh yeah, yeah,
1:18:41
but he was.
1:18:41
But I was. I was in a
1:18:44
space where I fell not
1:18:46
the most comfortable, uh.
1:18:53
In in that space because up
1:18:56
until that point, nobody ever
1:18:58
called me for nothing. I mean, but
1:19:00
when they get the awards, so they get to
1:19:03
this, so they get to that. But Q
1:19:05
made it a point.
1:19:06
I see that, uh,
1:19:09
and he would and he kept, no, you gotta
1:19:11
no, you gotta come out, No, you need to, you
1:19:13
know. And so I said, you know what I'm coming.
1:19:15
You know what I mean.
1:19:18
Never gave me no Grammy though now
1:19:21
I mind didn't show up. So uh,
1:19:24
if you're listening, I tell
1:19:26
what's the ladies? And I got some woman's name. I
1:19:28
said, thanks the lady sent
1:19:31
to an email or.
1:19:33
You know, decide to give me a Grammy this year?
1:19:35
Show up just in case I forgot
1:19:37
my actress. But
1:19:41
when when I saw what's the
1:19:43
ballplayer? Uh uh
1:19:47
for Boston.
1:19:49
Not tayle them the other guy Jaylen
1:19:51
Brown? When when Jaylen Brown showed
1:19:54
up for Q at.
1:19:55
That or the Walker thirty three
1:19:58
thing or the Big three or Big three.
1:19:59
Thirt I says the
1:20:01
que that was a light
1:20:03
he gave you in front of the whole
1:20:06
world when you called me about
1:20:08
that Grammy thing, that was a light you
1:20:10
were giving me in front of the whole
1:20:12
world. So I had to come and
1:20:14
accept that gift from you just on GP
1:20:18
because when you when you when
1:20:21
you inducted into the Rock and Rock and Roll
1:20:23
Hall of Fame, you said, doctor
1:20:27
is my guy, and he should be here.
1:20:28
I wish he was here.
1:20:29
He helped write all the records.
1:20:31
So you was giving a precursor then that
1:20:34
next time we do this, I'm gonna call my God. And
1:20:37
he was true to that, and so I had to
1:20:39
be a real woman stand up there with you.
1:20:46
But but there's
1:20:48
something about you that
1:20:52
makes everyone want to give you your props
1:20:54
like that. It's not just Cube, it's not just Dre,
1:20:57
it's not just Snoop, it's not just them. It's
1:20:59
something about you, like the
1:21:01
industry wants to give
1:21:04
you your flowers.
1:21:05
Yeah, bro, it's the door guys.
1:21:08
Want to get you.
1:21:13
You you saw, you saw. Can
1:21:15
you give me a reason why that?
1:21:18
You know what I mean? Can
1:21:20
you give me a reason? I can't give you a
1:21:22
reason. But the reason I look at it like
1:21:25
this, there's
1:21:28
a it's a
1:21:30
g O D thing. And so this
1:21:33
path that I walked, and
1:21:36
I told my I told my.
1:21:39
My mother when I was coming, we're
1:21:42
taking drink chemps to church because
1:21:44
it's the g O.
1:21:45
D thing And they need to know that. That's
1:21:47
why the g O D thing is a d O C thing.
1:21:50
That's right, goddamn it. So when
1:21:52
they say why oh, why
1:21:55
didn't it happen like this? Or why did it happen
1:21:57
like this? Because it's a g O D thing.
1:22:00
He needs he need folks to know this
1:22:03
is not happening because of this person, happening
1:22:05
because of that person, or not happening
1:22:08
because of this person that is a geod.
1:22:10
Thing, or when it's his time, watch
1:22:12
what he do. You know what I mean?
1:22:14
And so and so even us having
1:22:17
this opportunity to sit down and talk,
1:22:20
it's a part of that plan, bro, you
1:22:22
know what I mean. We've been talking for two years. I most
1:22:25
when you're gonna come, I say, I don't have no nothing
1:22:27
to talk about. But when the Grammy thing happened,
1:22:29
I said, well, now now I feel like I got something.
1:22:32
Well let me tell me. Just tell you something. This
1:22:34
is your house. You don't need nothing
1:22:37
to talk about. If you want to come over here and talk about
1:22:39
pink toe. Now, he's
1:22:41
not gonna talk about that because he's not opening that door.
1:22:44
But we
1:22:47
don't care, because you know what, we
1:22:49
created this platform for you. We created
1:22:51
this platform for us, for people. You
1:22:54
know, there's no other genre
1:22:56
in this game that has this word washed
1:22:58
up like people say you did
1:23:01
ten years in this game and they want to throw us away.
1:23:04
They don't do that in they don't do that
1:23:06
in jazz. I'm not gonna allow them to do that in
1:23:08
hip hops, right, I'm not. I just can't.
1:23:11
They say that wine gets better with time.
1:23:13
How the fuck we ag't?
1:23:15
What?
1:23:15
What the fuck is we doing? I'm not lying
1:23:17
that on my This
1:23:24
show is created for that,
1:23:26
and we're gonna continue to do it. And guess
1:23:28
what, we're great at it, motherfucker.
1:23:30
That's right.
1:23:30
We're great at it's great at giving people
1:23:32
flowers who deserve it. That's because the
1:23:35
more, the more they say, the black and the barrier
1:23:37
sweet of the youths. Motherfucker's right. That means
1:23:40
when we go with time, we get better with
1:23:42
time. We don't get worse with time. Only people who
1:23:44
get worse with time and stupid people. And I don't think we're
1:23:46
stupid at all at all, bro at all. We're
1:23:48
out here doing this and again,
1:23:50
let me get back to the documentary, because it
1:23:53
shows how much you
1:23:57
mean to the community, how much you mean to
1:23:59
hip hop, how much you mean to humanity,
1:24:03
and how you brong at three sixty.
1:24:06
I believe it's a pastor. What's the black
1:24:08
brother's name that you got with in
1:24:10
the documentary.
1:24:11
Reverend Johnson.
1:24:12
Reverend Johnson. Okay, okay, he's
1:24:14
Martin Luther King. Guy, he's the new
1:24:16
Martin Luther King. Oh yeah, well we need to talk about
1:24:18
him.
1:24:19
He was in he was with him, Yeah,
1:24:21
yeah, he was in college when King
1:24:24
started his non violent movement.
1:24:26
Wow.
1:24:27
He worked.
1:24:29
Really closely with He's the
1:24:31
same age as sharpening
1:24:37
those guys, you know. And they
1:24:41
sent him to Dallas in
1:24:43
sixty eight. Wow,
1:24:45
Reverend Johnson.
1:24:46
Wow. Two another one. Jamie cleared
1:24:50
away for doctor King to come
1:24:53
through because the city didn't
1:24:55
want King.
1:24:56
There both
1:24:59
sides, you know what I'm saying, Democrat
1:25:01
and no.
1:25:02
I mean I mean the white folks and
1:25:05
the black fo's right, that's right,
1:25:07
didn't want doctor kimps, right, the black.
1:25:09
Preachers during that time. Okay, what's
1:25:11
on doctor Reben
1:25:13
Johnson's head about? Because
1:25:16
they didn't want it, you know what I mean? Because he doctor
1:25:19
King would be messing up their money.
1:25:20
Wow.
1:25:21
Know how the game goes, bro it's nothing. It
1:25:23
was probably nothing different
1:25:26
than.
1:25:26
Doctor that's just too. That's
1:25:28
what I heard. You had to that
1:25:31
he was going to dress her. He was outside.
1:25:34
Telling about doctor Camp he
1:25:37
was for that. I mean, I don't mean that's
1:25:40
that's what they used. It help pro against them. They
1:25:42
try to use that against them, but that he
1:25:45
was having an affair, that's what they tried to use.
1:25:47
The follow up. They finally.
1:25:50
G Bro the wrong
1:25:55
man, respect the kid Bro still.
1:25:58
Follows out the can.
1:25:59
That's a weak argument, That's what I'm saying.
1:26:01
I try to get you to not like a brother,
1:26:04
you know what I mean, Like, because he had.
1:26:08
Suicide, they try to get him the commit suicide
1:26:10
and going to King. Yeah, that f b I. They
1:26:13
tried to use that against them. They they spied on him.
1:26:15
They found out that he was having an affair, and they tried to get him
1:26:17
the commissions.
1:26:18
He got a little trim while he was getting a tram.
1:26:20
I'm still don't go off of
1:26:22
my research research, but that
1:26:25
what I seen Peter Peter
1:26:27
Johnson came down.
1:26:28
Peter Johnson. That's that's the.
1:26:30
Lader ground work for doctor King. And
1:26:32
they killed him that year, you know, I mean
1:26:34
that was the year he died.
1:26:35
Oh doctor King, I'm thinking it was Jane Peter Johnson. I'm
1:26:37
like, I've just seen him in the document.
1:26:39
So he dies.
1:26:42
And Reverend Johnson stays,
1:26:45
uh for a while or not, and then they asked
1:26:48
him to come back. But there had been a particular
1:26:51
police story going on back then
1:26:54
about this particular policeman who was
1:26:57
executing black and brown
1:26:59
kids.
1:27:00
Wow in Dallas.
1:27:01
Yeah, okay, I think
1:27:03
uh uh
1:27:06
he w.
1:27:07
One of the stories is it was
1:27:09
a little uh the
1:27:12
the Latin kid's name was Santos, I think,
1:27:15
and he had the kid handcuffed in his car and
1:27:19
he was playing Russian Roulette with his
1:27:21
pistol, trying to get the kid to to
1:27:23
confess to something and and
1:27:25
and blew his head off, you know. And
1:27:28
Reverend Johnson stopped the yard. He had all
1:27:30
the you know, did all the things that they did
1:27:32
back then, get the police off the street.
1:27:34
Wow, And uh, he said, what
1:27:37
the story he tells me is he
1:27:39
went in stomping it and uh and the
1:27:41
powers that be told him that they
1:27:43
would get him off the street, but they couldn't
1:27:46
prosecute him from killing a a
1:27:48
a nigga, you know, right,
1:27:50
And so they took him off the street. And
1:27:54
then uh, the folks in Atlanta called
1:27:56
uh Reverend Johnson back to Atlanta.
1:27:59
And when.
1:28:02
Reverend Johnson went back to Atlanta. They gave to
1:28:04
dude his gun and put him back on the street. He
1:28:07
went right back I there and kept another baby. And
1:28:09
when he did that, Peter Johnson came back to Dynason.
1:28:12
He was there ever since. Matter
1:28:14
of fact, with the year I was born, Peter
1:28:17
Johnson was walking around in the projects I.
1:28:19
Was born in, feeding people. Yeah,
1:28:22
man, And so I wanted for him.
1:28:25
I wanted that light to be on him in
1:28:28
this documentary way, yeah,
1:28:30
bro, because he deserved it.
1:28:32
Like he's the most humble
1:28:34
man.
1:28:34
I knows, unassuming.
1:28:36
Person, doesn't care about money.
1:28:38
Still to this day, he's out there struggling
1:28:41
trying to help other folks, right, and so
1:28:43
I'm trying to, you know, do what I can to help
1:28:45
him now.
1:28:46
And he said, he linked with you, He said, because people
1:28:48
want your autograph, not his, when
1:28:51
they should want his.
1:28:53
You know what, man, because without
1:28:55
them, he paid the way for
1:28:57
all of these boys that can get out didn't
1:29:00
get that money like that. They wouldn't
1:29:02
have been able to do it without this guy. M I
1:29:04
forget what the quote is. They
1:29:07
said, Uh, this kind of father
1:29:10
makes this kind of child, that makes
1:29:12
this kind of child, that makes this kind of child
1:29:14
when it goes so in a circle like,
1:29:16
uh, we back on the the
1:29:19
Malcolm's and the Martins. We need them niggas
1:29:21
to show up right about now, you
1:29:24
know. And they gonna come from the street. See
1:29:28
that's how everything comes from the street. Bro the
1:29:31
wind and the loss us from the
1:29:33
street. When I talk to these young
1:29:37
boys, I used the uh,
1:29:40
the story of Samson.
1:29:41
And the Bible to
1:29:43
try it.
1:29:44
Yeah, and you relate that to your voice.
1:29:47
No, I'm I'm relating that story
1:29:49
to them because if you know the
1:29:51
story in the book, Samson
1:29:54
didn't do but two things they
1:29:57
didn't preach to nobody ain't
1:29:59
getting them getting them by the word.
1:30:01
He did two things, Uh
1:30:04
mess with women and whoop a whole
1:30:06
lot of ass.
1:30:08
That's it.
1:30:09
And that's not a whole lot different from what these
1:30:11
boys is doing. The only difference
1:30:13
is he understood whose,
1:30:16
I guess is the best way whose he
1:30:19
was that there's a purpose why
1:30:21
he was doing it. He wasn't just doing it
1:30:23
to be So I tell these young boys that if
1:30:25
you all killer, that's that's great. Let's
1:30:27
figure out that the best reason why you're
1:30:30
gonna do it, so you're not just doing something
1:30:32
to be doing something.
1:30:33
If you're gonna throw away, throw away your
1:30:35
life, then then be purposeful with
1:30:38
it. With purpose, you know, I mean, same
1:30:40
way these.
1:30:40
Folks put on the stars
1:30:42
and stripes and they go over here to wherever
1:30:45
they're at and and bust them folks
1:30:47
in the ass. It's the same thing,
1:30:50
but your purpose makes it seems like it's it's
1:30:53
it's it has a different meaning to it.
1:30:55
So I tell these boys in these neighborhoods
1:30:58
that as far as that what those weapon and so concern
1:31:01
you or your savior
1:31:04
or or your enemy, it's you
1:31:07
because you got the gun. These same way
1:31:09
the Black Panthers used to say that this
1:31:11
little circle is it's hours.
1:31:14
We're not letting nobody come in here and do nothing.
1:31:18
You know what I mean, whether you know whether you got blue
1:31:20
on or red on or black
1:31:22
on or circle,
1:31:25
yeah, it's not going on in here, you
1:31:27
know what I mean.
1:31:28
If you guys developed that attitude,
1:31:31
then whatever y'all do inside this circle,
1:31:34
as long as it's not harm and nobody get
1:31:36
your money.
1:31:40
That's real.
1:31:40
We still have a quick time of slom. Forgot that. I'm gonna take
1:31:42
a quick pistol slim right, that's
1:31:46
I.
1:31:46
Can take a.
1:31:56
Be back later.
1:31:57
Sports Chance, Let's do it chances already,
1:31:59
make sure that down the underdog fantasy app
1:32:01
use promo code drink Champs or drink
1:32:04
or Champs and get up to one hundred dollars matched
1:32:07
or.
1:32:08
F or n.
1:32:09
It might not work though.
1:32:14
Ahead, we got the number one team
1:32:17
in the Northwest Division, the Oklahoma City
1:32:19
Thunder.
1:32:20
They will be playing the.
1:32:21
Number two team in the Atlantic Division, New
1:32:23
York Knicks in Madison Square
1:32:25
Garden. I know this is a favorite fan favorite
1:32:28
is so let me get ready to it. I'll go on with
1:32:30
Knicks automatically. Automatically
1:32:34
laffers on that. So for total points New
1:32:36
York.
1:32:36
Knicks averages one eleven point nine, are
1:32:38
they going to hire or lower?
1:32:40
At home?
1:32:40
We're gonna go higher. In fact, J're gonna be there, Spike
1:32:43
Lee gonna be there eating hot dogs and corn dogs.
1:32:47
I think Rosie parad is coming out, you know what
1:32:49
I'm saying. So I think I'm
1:32:51
gonna go higher, diego hire lower
1:32:53
one eleven point nine.
1:32:56
I'm gonna go lower than
1:32:59
one eleven nine, although they will still win.
1:33:02
Okay, Now for the young guns,
1:33:04
the number one team, These guys are running the off
1:33:07
n They're led by the youngest cat shy gilge
1:33:09
is Alexander. For Oklahoma City, they average
1:33:12
one twenty point seven a game. We're gonna
1:33:14
higher lower than one to twenty point seven.
1:33:16
I'm gonna stay higher. I'm gonna say lower because
1:33:18
bright lights, big city, a lot of people, you
1:33:21
know, think you ready, but it's
1:33:23
still one of the greatest places to play on Earth.
1:33:25
It's the massive square Guarden. A lot of people can see
1:33:27
those bright lights in that big city and they kind
1:33:29
of fold. So, as a young team not
1:33:32
too much experienced, I think the Garden is gonna
1:33:34
be the winner of this game. You say they're gonna be deer and has
1:33:36
a big deal. That's a big statement. Now
1:33:39
we're going to continue in this format. So for assists,
1:33:43
gilgis Alexander. He averages
1:33:45
six point three assists with a
1:33:48
turnover average of two point two.
1:33:49
So we're doing higher lower, Efen, I'm
1:33:53
gonna say lower on
1:33:56
the assists. Lower lower is six point
1:33:58
three and are you yeah,
1:34:00
I'm going lower lower.
1:34:02
With the horrible New York Niggas defense, I
1:34:05
say, hi, second mouth,
1:34:07
I'm keeping it.
1:34:08
One hundred percent. It's about money.
1:34:10
This is not personal.
1:34:11
This is about the money.
1:34:12
Jalen Brunson, he averages six point four.
1:34:14
Says hire lower higher, Yeah,
1:34:17
I'm going higher, higher, higher,
1:34:20
Okay. Jalen Brunton is a monster, man,
1:34:23
a monster.
1:34:23
He's doing it. Need scoring Now.
1:34:25
For rebound category, we're introducing
1:34:27
a new player to this.
1:34:28
Uh.
1:34:30
I wish he was gonna
1:34:32
come back. I'm gonna drink Champs Kicks.
1:34:35
We have check home grown. He
1:34:37
averages seven point nine rebounds
1:34:39
a game. Check homegrown, home grown,
1:34:42
homegrown, home grown. He got
1:34:46
hurt in the first practice last year, so they red
1:34:48
shared him. He's back as a rookie. He's
1:34:50
about seven something guy. So
1:34:52
he averaged seven point nine rebounds. Higher or
1:34:54
lower.
1:34:55
He's a nick. No, he's an okay
1:34:57
see, he's an okay see. He's gonna go lower this, sir,
1:35:00
higher, higher, absolutely higher.
1:35:02
Now, who's gonna combat him is
1:35:04
Isaiah Hardinson.
1:35:06
He is a nick. He's eight point
1:35:08
four rebounds. Diego, what are
1:35:10
we doing? We're gonna need him to go higher for the neck winning.
1:35:12
So for the points, let's just ended with the
1:35:15
two All stars.
1:35:16
Jalen Brunson twenty seven point
1:35:18
five points throughout the season.
1:35:20
He's going higher or lower than twenty seven
1:35:22
point five. I'm gonna say he's going higher again,
1:35:24
bright light, big c. This is his time.
1:35:26
It is his time, Sonny, one
1:35:29
hundred percent higher because he's going to battle
1:35:31
the young STU. He's gonna put up at least forty
1:35:34

1:35:36
Won't go as high as forty, but I'll say higher than thirty,
1:35:39
higher than thirty twenty
1:35:41
seven.
1:35:41

only two people that
1:40:19
that have ever touched the microphone to me and

1:40:29
shipped.
1:40:29
They was the same time.
1:40:30
It was slick Rick and rock Him. Before
1:40:33
those guys came, everything was syncopated
1:40:37
in one way. The floors
1:40:39
were all similar. Then rock
1:40:41
Him took that shit and bented around the corner
1:40:44
and and slick Rick came and did
1:40:47
some ship that only he could do
1:40:50
and then started trying to do do
1:40:52
it the way he was doing it. But but
1:40:55
man, I yeah, those those two guys are
1:40:57
my rushmore guys for me.
1:41:00

1:41:48
He came and sat with me and he's like, man,
1:41:50

1:41:52
you in the bast paper like he gave me

1:42:02
Only did that once wow, because I realized
1:42:05
trying that ship.
1:42:06
I can't do this but you know, and why
1:42:08
because because you were drunk or because
1:42:11
of it, I was heard you were exerting
1:42:13
yourself too much.
1:42:15
It was no, I was live singing.
1:42:18
Oh, it wasn't that. It wasn't the other part

The Jets don't even win the Jets. That's why it's
1:45:16
hard being like. By the way,
1:45:18
let me just say something. I haven't watched
1:45:21
the next game this whole season. You
1:45:23
know what, I think you're a bad luck. I think I'm bad luck.
1:45:26
Wow.
1:45:26
I think every time I watch the next they start
1:45:28
losing. So do
1:45:31
you watch it the day after? No, I just
1:45:34
I've been trying to stay out the season. We're doing great.
1:45:36
We're doing great. Last year,
1:45:39
got a rent in the streak. I started
1:45:41
watching it's over. So
1:45:44
I actually didn't want to say this publicly, but
1:45:47
I actually think it is. I think I'm the
1:45:49
Jinks. So I haven't watched this year.
1:45:52
Hopefully we can make it somewhere.
1:45:54
No.
1:45:54
No, they got a great little young squad,
1:45:57
the ball us down out there and
1:46:00
Brunt and a great
1:46:03
addition, maybe
1:46:05
a piece of two away from being.
1:46:07
Relevant, right, you know what I mean?
1:46:09
And we need like a definitive star. Yeah,
1:46:12
yeah, need a star.
1:46:13
Yeah that's dry.
1:46:15
Ain't gonna lie. I think they should put me in. I don't

1:46:51
And so I fuck with the with Aaron Rodgers

1:46:57

1:47:31
Green Bay and what.
1:47:33
They had the hell of a defense ship.
1:47:36
He could have just stood up and did half a decent
1:47:38
job. I could eat that division.
1:47:40
Could it came in two games? This nigga was first
1:47:42

To go up there and go up me just in another
1:48:46

Buddy's
1:49:38
yeah, yeah, legend a
1:49:41
little bit.
1:49:42
That's a little bit. Okay, but yeah, but
1:49:46
but but you notice we take we take a small show.
1:49:48
We know.
1:49:48
Yeah, because it's a lot of question. It's a long
1:49:50
game. Miss let's
1:49:58
see. Okay,
1:50:02
I respect that sug
1:50:04
Night or puff Daddy, sug
1:50:08
Knight. Where did you stand
1:50:10
with the East Coast, West Coast beef when it was going on.
1:50:13
You know what I'm saying that was that was not good.
1:50:16
But I just hate bullshit.
1:50:18
Yeah, me too, you know what I mean? For what?
1:50:22
And then the magazines
1:50:25
and that's what really created
1:50:27
it was
1:50:29
people against people like Crew against Crew.
1:50:31
It wasn't East Coast against West Coast, right,
1:50:35
It was the magazines and the media that exacerbated
1:50:37
and then made everybody, you know, Vibe
1:50:40
particularly they were the first
1:50:42
ones.
1:50:42
Yeah, yeah, I believe they did a bad
1:50:44
Boy cover and then they did a Death Ro cover right
1:50:46
after each other, and it set set
1:50:48
it off everything. I believe that's when in
1:50:51
the time that they were saying
1:50:53
that it was you, Dre
1:50:56
and Shug. But then that cover, the
1:50:58
actual Vibe cover like actually
1:51:01
almost erased you and put Sugar
1:51:03
in there. And they've had the three stars. It was Dre, Snoop
1:51:06
and I forget who else was on that Vibe cover.
1:51:10
There was four people, wasn't it, No, it was three?
1:51:14
Put was pocket?
1:51:16
Yeah?
1:51:17
Yeah, was that the time. I believe
1:51:19
in the documentary you said, I
1:51:22
think you alluded to it. You
1:51:25
didn't have that power, but you didn't know it at that
1:51:27
time. Was that something that.
1:51:31
No, I was.
1:51:33
That must have been a difficult time for you to be out.
1:51:35
I was struggling in that time, you
1:51:38
know. Okay, pro addiction is not easy,
1:51:40
but you know what I mean, And I
1:51:43
salute anybody they're
1:51:45
gonna walk that path and stand
1:51:47
back up because they take
1:51:49
a lot out of you, bro, when you get lost. But
1:51:55
I respect all of those guys. I'm not bitter.
1:51:58
No, you don't want those guys. I wouldn't
1:52:02
have changed anything.
1:52:03
Wow, you know, because I've been in some places that's
1:52:06
there's some really messed
1:52:08
up stuff could have happened to me. It should
1:52:11
wasn't there, you know what I mean. Wow, I've
1:52:13
seen and there's a couple
1:52:17
of stories where I was out there and they had to come
1:52:19
get me, you know, and came in,
1:52:22
you know with the hornt and then and then and then
1:52:24
with the.
1:52:25
You know, the Calvalry care bro,
1:52:27
because I was wilding out out there. And
1:52:30
uh so I got nothing more respect.
1:52:34
For those guys that handled their business in
1:52:36
ways that I wasn't ready to handle
1:52:39
for myself.
1:52:40
I forget, didn't you have Dazzle corrupt on
1:52:43
the show. And one of them was like, fuck, sugar, you
1:52:47
hear everything. But then, you know, what that's a human.
1:52:49
A human is a good person and a human is a
1:52:51
fucked up person, So it could be both
1:52:53
are true at the same point.
1:52:55
I don't I don't want no smoke with
1:52:58
with Sugar Bear from
1:53:01
it. And he's doing his podcast from
1:53:03
yeah, and
1:53:08
so I'm gonna stay out of his way because
1:53:11
he got a itchy
1:53:13
trigger finger, right and he don't care, you
1:53:16
know what, I man, that's how you getting this his
1:53:18
thing? Because I talked to him.
1:53:20
A couple of times since he's been incarcerated
1:53:22
in that place.
1:53:23
Okay, hell y, you know like
1:53:26
Ario did that a lot. I
1:53:28
don't know how they get your number. Somebody
1:53:30
will call you and say, want a
1:53:32
high lessons you know, and hey
1:53:36
Ario one of the high letchers and out of and.
1:53:41
Yeah, clicking me. You know what.
1:53:43
But Ario and I since
1:53:46
since he since he's been back out, he
1:53:49
and I've developed a real interesting
1:53:52
relationship because he sees things
1:53:54
the way I see things. As far as
1:53:56
trying to go back into these hoods
1:53:58
and get these young boys.
1:54:00
It is right, you know what I mean?
1:54:02
Why is Harryo being praised and Sugar
1:54:04
not?
1:54:05
But I don't know what
1:54:08
what what is Harrio getting praised? I
1:54:10
don't know.
1:54:10
It just seems like like, you know, when you speak
1:54:13
about the foundation of death Row.
1:54:15
In the beginning of Death Row, it seems like
1:54:17
people say, man, Harrio came in like
1:54:20
and it was whatever, whatever. But people
1:54:22
are not saying the same about Sugar, although
1:54:25
I.
1:54:25
Don't see people like even with you, like they'll
1:54:28
say, like even I just broke up
1:54:31
with Dazz and Corrupt.
1:54:31
I forget which one was on which side dazzes
1:54:34
against? And I believe was
1:54:36
like stayed around the longest,
1:54:40
and Corrupt was like, nah, I can't. He kept
1:54:42
calling him, no, no, no, no, Dazz is del
1:54:44
Mar, but he kept calling him. I think he called him Simon.
1:54:47
Yeah, that his cold name, Simon,
1:54:50
like Simon, Yeah, damn,
1:54:53
that was his code name.
1:54:56
It was Simon and Santa
1:54:58
Claus.
1:55:00
So Simon was the bad side and that
1:55:02
was a good side.
1:55:04
Either one of them is talking about the same guy. Uh,
1:55:08
But sure it was a you know, he
1:55:10
was a year.
1:55:12
Is uh,
1:55:15
a complicated human as
1:55:17
many of us.
1:55:18
Yeah, and he lived his life
1:55:21
and we all have our past that we got
1:55:23
to walk and and he's walking
1:55:26
hispide. You know, I wouldn't
1:55:28
wish wish that ship on nobody, you
1:55:30
know, uh, because I had
1:55:33
to.
1:55:33
I had to sit down in that city that
1:55:36
that was not me. I don't want no more parts
1:55:38
of that ship. And I wouldn't
1:55:40
wish that on nobody. But you
1:55:42
know that's his path, uh,
1:55:45
and I wish him the best.
1:55:48
And hopefully you know what
1:55:50
happened for Aarrio happened.
1:55:51

1:57:28
Deliver one of those Oh god, yes, six
1:57:32

1:57:43

1:57:45
of my boost man escalat.
1:57:47
Okay, let's go, let's go. We had God
1:57:50
damn God, damn shout out to Cadillac man.
1:57:52
Yeah.
1:57:53
Man, So who will we picking Mike
1:57:55
Tyson?
1:57:56
Absolutely, We're gonna imagine that I'm
1:57:58
picking out. I'm gonna see Mike
1:58:00
somewhere. You think I'm gonna pick somebody else? Yeah,
1:58:02
yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be like, well you put
1:58:05
the money out.
1:58:06
Yeah.
1:58:06
I mean you're watching him train. It's crazy.
1:58:09
You gonna eat gonna lie. I
1:58:11
want him to do that, no ring what
1:58:14
the way he's training, you know, think he's
1:58:16
going to I would like for him to do it.
1:58:18
Man, loove that he don't do it.
1:58:20
Man, you just talked about biden Age
1:58:22
is a motherfucker mine like them.
1:58:26
Yeah, but Tyson is a different type of person
1:58:29
because he's he said it explicitly that
1:58:31
when he gets in the ring, he transforms
1:58:33
into a monster.
1:58:34
And I believe that. I truly believe I
1:58:37
can't become the beast in the ring. I can't believe
1:58:39
him.
1:58:39
Against this Jake Paul Kidd, because
1:58:41
I've seen that Jake Paul Kidd lay
1:58:43
some dudes out.
1:58:45
Seemed like that wasn't fair.
1:58:46
I think Tyson, but it's that's not the same
1:58:49
Tyson that we grew up on. But he's
1:58:51
said, man, but you're
1:58:54
still there. He's still there and his
1:58:57
and he still got strength.
1:58:58
No, he don't want no head gear.
1:59:00
I mean they've been saying rumors about
1:59:03
headgear, but I don't think it's no. There's
1:59:06
rumors that they're gonna have rules, but I don't think
1:59:08
Tyson would agree to that, And I don't even think Jake.
1:59:09
Paul would want to agree to that.
1:59:10
Yeah, man, come on, within it.
1:59:13
Jay might as well just do it all the way right or not do it at
1:59:15
all. I
1:59:17
think you should fight them next you,
1:59:21
Tyson would
1:59:29
laughing three seconds.
1:59:34
I really want to see this. Not only that, I
1:59:37
facetimeed Mike. Uh well
1:59:40
first friends, you hate me, shout
1:59:42
out to frenchie man if Mike, one
1:59:44
of them talk to you, so of
1:59:47
course be able to out that FaceTime
1:59:49
them were laughing whatever.
1:59:52
Two days later they say, hey, announcement.
1:59:55
So I hit them back. I was like, yeah, yeah,
1:59:59
I'm really doing this. They say, yes,
2:00:01
we're really doing it. Immediately
2:00:03
I said, Yo, I'm gonna go come to training camp.
2:00:06
So next week when
2:00:08
I come back from Paris, I'm going to I'm
2:00:11
going I told you this and
2:00:15
I'm gonna hear French. I'm gonna say, you see if we could
2:00:17
do the side. Oh yeah, I didn't even think
2:00:20
of like me, I actually wanted to, Like
2:00:22
that's like my dream is to see somebody in
2:00:24
training camp like they
2:00:27
do like me
2:00:29
drinking or what I was like, but like I knocked
2:00:32
this ship the funk out, like when I want to be
2:00:34
a part of something. So I wanted to I'm going to Vegas.
2:00:37
I believe that you said this in Dallas to
2:00:39
believe the training camp he's training in Vegas. Yeah,
2:00:42
so I want to go there and I
2:00:44
want to you know, that's the fucking fun. That's
2:00:47
just crazy because although
2:00:53
this is uh what is the sparrings is
2:00:55
considered sparring, correct, there get
2:01:00
a spar come
2:01:02
on, man, Yeah, but they're really fighting.
2:01:05
But it's caused baring because right because
2:01:07
it's they can't get sationed by it
2:01:10
because he's not a sanction boxer neither. He's
2:01:13
past the age, is right. But
2:01:17
believe this is still history. It is, man,
2:01:19
I believe he is still history. Generational fight
2:01:22
for whatever it's worth. And I think it's
2:01:24
dope.
2:01:25
I don't want them to touch that boy.
2:01:27
I want I'm knocking. I'm
2:01:30
sorry, j Paul, I might see you in a restaurant and ship.
2:01:33
I got a lot of respect for Jake Paul. I think
2:01:35
you do.
2:01:36
But I think that if he's smart, he's training
2:01:38
to stay away from Mike Tyson's
2:01:40
punches. Well, I think
2:01:42
he's actually gonna try to He's gonna
2:01:44
lean in and he's gonna try to hurt Mike.
2:01:46
Yeah, I think
2:01:48
he's going That's the only thing you could train for because
2:01:51
if he gets hit by one of those punches, until
2:01:53
he gets hit by one of the practice that he'll learn. I
2:01:56
don't know. I think I think he's going to actually.
2:01:58
Say Mike Tyson punch out on the video game.
2:02:02
Think that he's gonna try. I think I think
2:02:04
j Paul much
2:02:06
respect for the sport that he's not gonna
2:02:09
duck it. No, but the sport. No, that's
2:02:11
not that's not right the sport. Actually look a look
2:02:13
at Mayweather. You you know, you have a strategy.
2:02:15
Sometimes you stay away from the person you're coming at
2:02:17
the right time. That's why it be boring fights
2:02:20
sometimes and they went on technicalities or
2:02:22
they went on this, they go all the round. I've
2:02:24
never seen a bor in Mayweather fight. Sir, he's
2:02:26
not. I'm saying that some boy.
2:02:28
He's not gonna be able to stay away from from. You going
2:02:31
have to come on with it when you get in there.
2:02:33
I mean, don't bring it to Tyson.
2:02:36
Gonna bring it to a fighters that's been successful
2:02:38
against Tyson, hold it, holy Field and Lennie
2:02:40
Flewid aggressive. Yeah, try
2:02:43
to run from those they get right.
2:02:45
I hear you, I hear you.
2:02:47
But I don't, man, I don't see Jake Park going
2:02:49
toe to toe of them. I
2:02:51
mean, be interesting and we want to see it. Run
2:02:53
he gonna get hit.
2:02:56
It's a different beast man than he's ever I think
2:02:58
ever fought. I
2:03:01
don't think he's fought someone like Tyson. I
2:03:04
don't care the age and none of that.
2:03:05
Man, Okay, let's move on, no
2:03:09
change m Yeah, I ain't gonna
2:03:11
lie. That's the only time I seen like U f N like get
2:03:13
dugged out Tyson. He gave Tyson
2:03:16
a joints and grabbed the joint
2:03:18
he pulled it out. He gave e f N back and even
2:03:22
oh yeah, he tried the funk out of me. He
2:03:25
made me take.
2:03:32
I never.
2:03:35
Was like, yeah, you taking this true. I'm telling you right now.
2:03:37
You know it's true. You
2:03:41
were his presence. You know, I
2:03:44
don't tell you I was. I was in Dubai. I took
2:03:46
the picture and woke
2:03:48
apart. So I was like Tyson and he
2:03:51
was just walking and I knew like
2:03:53
he didn't know it was me. So I was like he
2:03:55
was nory. So he turned around and
2:03:58
then he grabbed his friend.
2:04:00
Was so sorry, literally,
2:04:10
and I'm looking like, oh ship, I do not want
2:04:12
Mike to touch me like that.
2:04:13
So he's like he crapam.
2:04:16
He doesn't know how strong he is. His
2:04:19
friend was little. He's like,
2:04:21
hey, man, once we told about last night. He's like, yeah,
2:04:23
we talked much. And I'm
2:04:25
looking at him like ship, let me let him get him
2:04:28
out.
2:04:29
You know, me and Charlie the time the first time with
2:04:32
the blunk, we took a picture of him. He's eating an apple. I've
2:04:34
never seen the most aggressive picture of somebody eating
2:04:36
apple.
2:04:37
He's like, Yo, what the fuck?
2:04:39
Man? What the fun?
2:04:40
And this is the nice Tyson we're talking about nice.
2:04:42
This is the nice version of Tyson. This
2:04:45
is the last question. A quick time and slim and we
2:04:47
get right back to the interview. And this is me
2:04:49
and e FN's favorite question to us,
2:04:51
A most important question. And I'm
2:04:54
not going to lead the witness. I'm not gonna say that witness
2:04:56
loyalty or respect mm
2:05:00
hmm.
2:05:03
Respect. M. I
2:05:06
want to explain why, because
2:05:11
loyalty is a fickle kind of
2:05:13
thing, depending on.
2:05:16
What's what's on the table, you
2:05:19
know. But respect, if it's
2:05:22
real, it ain't going nowhere, you
2:05:25
know. And
2:05:30
I don't want you to be loyal to me, goddamn.
2:05:32
And I want you to do the right thing,
2:05:35
you know. M. I
2:05:37
want that respect because.
2:05:38
I'm going because
2:05:41
my thing is why wouldn't you just say both.
2:05:43
A lot of people don't say both, and they want to give
2:05:45
an explanation as to why not saying both.
2:05:54
But I like the reason why you said. I like
2:05:56
that, and in fact, you know, and
2:06:00
I want to say this will all love
2:06:03
and respect. It's
2:06:07
like I look at you as one of the
2:06:09
most loyalist people.
2:06:10
Oh yeah, that's what.
2:06:12
That's what he just said. It's
2:06:15
because like
2:06:18
I didn't I didn't just watch the documentary. I
2:06:20
became the documentary.
2:06:24
No, I really did.
2:06:25
It really did, like I really felt
2:06:27
a part of it. I cried.
2:06:29
I told you, my barber is sitting there like
2:06:32
he's cutting this side of my ship, and
2:06:34
I can't even feel it. I'm so numb
2:06:36
because I'm so I can't turn away. So
2:06:39
I'm I'm watching it and I can't
2:06:41
feel my tears. I can feel him like, oh shit,
2:06:44
He's like, where is this white ship
2:06:46
coming from? And I'm just like cause I'm you
2:06:48
know, I'm crying like a man.
2:06:51
I'm not like.
2:06:55
Holy ship. And it
2:06:57
was like times in my life. I
2:06:59
think you said it in the lyric. You was like like
2:07:03
I tried to drown myself and I couldn't even do that
2:07:05
right, And I was just saying, what the fuck?
2:07:09
And I'm like, here goes a guy that I look
2:07:11
up to. I can't
2:07:13
see this darkness in you because
2:07:17
I never seen the darkness in you. Is because
2:07:21
he was always been presented as a hero. You
2:07:25
have never been presented to the
2:07:27
vulnerable guy that you're saying about
2:07:29
yourself. And I had to hear
2:07:31
that from you. If you wanted to said
2:07:33
that, I would have never Right,
2:07:37
That's one of them.
2:07:39
From my perspective, one
2:07:43
of the great ways I
2:07:46
was able to tell the story. And
2:07:53
loyalty plays a big part of this because
2:07:55
I know where all the bones set.
2:07:58
I know where they are all at. I've seen, Yeah,
2:08:03
how did he well? You know, but
2:08:06
that's not my place, you know what I mean. Whether
2:08:11
it's hear him or him or
2:08:13
them, or how today?
2:08:16
Or what did you're winning?
2:08:18
You know, that's that's the universe's tale,
2:08:20
the tale it's my mind because
2:08:23
I'm about this positive movement ward
2:08:27
take those lessons I learned from those men
2:08:30
and using to teach my sons. You
2:08:33
know, never let what
2:08:35
happened to me will never happen to my sons
2:08:38
because they'll know who they are when.
2:08:41
They meet these guys. Uh,
2:08:44
this ring d
2:08:47
o c ring.
2:08:52
When I wrote to his
2:08:54
easiest first record, we
2:08:56
was working on the n w A record, were working on
2:08:59
Straight out of Coring. Easiest
2:09:02
record is goal by now. And they didn't get ready
2:09:04
to put their record out. They going
2:09:06
out and buying jewelry and all of these, the
2:09:08
dookie ropes and all of this shit.
2:09:10
I did all this work. I'm looking for work.
2:09:13
My dookie rope at.
2:09:14
I want to get Dougie roped out too, dude,
2:09:18
and the easy said whatever you want,
2:09:20
he said, give me the publishing
2:09:22
to them songs you wrote.
2:09:24
Now, whatever you want?
2:09:25
Who said that?
2:09:28
And I'm like, okay, I want that
2:09:31
and that and one of it. It was
2:09:33
just this ring and
2:09:35
and on my album cover there's
2:09:38
a chain with doctor and he
2:09:40
bought me those.
2:09:41
Those gifts wow, And it
2:09:43
was a gifts public.
2:09:45
Right gave him about a million dollars
2:09:47
and he gave me three thousand dollars worth
2:09:49
for stuff. Now, when
2:09:52
I found out what had happened, I
2:09:54
had already had the wreck and I'm
2:09:57
starting out to play stuff and I'm wanting to
2:09:59
work, and I find.
2:10:00
That stuff out, I was like I
2:10:03
was destroyed. It was one of the things
2:10:05
that made.
2:10:05
Me go start talking to drag about blah blah
2:10:07
blah. Was finding that stuff out. I got
2:10:10
so, uh said, I took this ring
2:10:12
out already. You know, when you go
2:10:14
out on the road and you're performing
2:10:17
and you think motherfuckers out there respect
2:10:19
you. You got that chain on and you lean
2:10:21
over into that stay change.
2:10:24
Yeah, lot, it was out there, but I
2:10:26
had the ring still, and
2:10:29
I was dating this broad
2:10:31
and I was
2:10:33
so just destroyed that
2:10:36
I gave her this ring, said
2:10:38
I don't even want to be I
2:10:40
don't want no part of this shit.
2:10:42
It's just been struggled, and she
2:10:44
took the run. We
2:10:47
stopped being together. In twenty
2:10:53
seven years later, this
2:10:56
lady found me my
2:10:58
old way and brought me this ring, little fucking
2:11:00
word.
2:11:01
Twenty seven years No, fuck
2:11:07
now, I took it like this, This could
2:11:09
either be one of two things. God
2:11:12
is giving me permission to be coec
2:11:14
Yeah he's having me, No, he's.
2:11:17
Coming, Or I
2:11:20
was killing that ass head well and
2:11:23
it could probably better.
2:11:28
But no, I took that as a sign
2:11:30
from God, like it's coming, you
2:11:32
know, because how hot is that even
2:11:35
twenty seven years that the Curry Lady
2:11:37
kept the ring for twenty seven years.
2:11:39
And then you know it's the same exact way. It's
2:11:41
no duplicate, there's no way.
2:11:43
Yeah. I was in California and one of my
2:11:45
guys called me said, you know this girl named Blah
2:11:47
Blah blah. It's like, yeah, I used to and
2:11:50
I thought she was trying to better up and get some mobil.
2:11:52
You had a kid, You had a kid.
2:11:54
Well, she came with a little boy and said, yeah,
2:11:59
the boy was like nine years old, ten year old,
2:12:03
so it had been way too you know, it was twenty
2:12:05
seven The sun she'd have walked in would
2:12:07
have been bigger than me.
2:12:09
But she I thought she wanted a head.
2:12:13
She came in with her little jit.
2:12:15
I said, well, damn, she don't want no head, nothing like that.
2:12:18
She sat down and she said, I just wanted you to have
2:12:20
this back and gave me that ring.
2:12:21
But you gave it to all. Okay, why
2:12:24
because you said you didn't want nothing to.
2:12:26
I just was tired. It's
2:12:29
it's nothing, yeah, bro, yeah,
2:12:32
yeah, you
2:12:37
know.
2:12:38
Man, I ain't gonna lie. It's
2:12:41
again. It's something special about you, man. Yo.
2:12:45
D is the d O C. The d O C
2:12:47
is the g O d G O D is the d O c.
2:12:49
Oh mind, I don't take no credit for nothing
2:12:52
anymore. I don't want that shit.
2:12:54
What your greatest of all the time, God is if
2:12:57
you ask me, that's what I really want to say.
2:13:00
Get out of that that that game
2:13:02
because when when you pick one, see
2:13:04
that's what happened with Easy, and.
2:13:05
You want to pick one, let
2:13:08
that one be the one. Then he gets
2:13:10
to the head and all the other
2:13:12
pieces fall apart. If
2:13:14
you are Easy, how
2:13:17
can you let doctor Drake get away?
2:13:19
Right?
2:13:19
How can you do that unless you don't
2:13:22
know what you got in the first place?
2:13:24
Right?
2:13:24
Same thing with sure, Wait, how can you do
2:13:26
that?
2:13:30
This is ju because okay,
2:13:37
can you run us through both of those scenarios?
2:13:39
Because you was there when Dre left Easy.
2:13:43
I had to talk him out of there.
2:13:44
They didn't just get up and leave ruthless.
2:13:47
Yeah, I had to go, Yeah,
2:13:51
I'll talk Drake into leaving ruthless.
2:13:53
Oh wow, But you before
2:13:56
Cube went in there and started talking about he was
2:13:58
upset with Jerry Heller and this was
2:14:00
first he was first. Yeah, but nobody
2:14:03
listened to Q, and Q came and talk
2:14:05
to you, right, yeah about that swell.
2:14:07
But but I was the low dude on the poe.
2:14:09
I don't it all happened
2:14:11
when we was the last show that straight out of come to.
2:14:17
This is in the movie.
2:14:18
Yeah, okay, the last show
2:14:20
we.
2:14:20
Was in Arizona. If you
2:14:22
ever did shows in Arizona, they got this things
2:14:25
around stage and they
2:14:27
we went in there and tore that bitch up and
2:14:29
Jerry Ella came down with Brian Turner
2:14:32
with chicks.
2:14:34
But Brian Turner was the priority guy.
2:14:36
Priority okay, yeah, not ruthless priority.
2:14:39
Now, yeah, priority.
2:14:40
And they had seventy five thousand dollars checks
2:14:42
for each of those guys.
2:14:45
Nothing for me. You know, I'm
2:14:48
crazy, I know, right, But
2:14:51
after that, Q was like, I'm not signing shit?
2:14:54
Where's mine? I mean, why do I
2:14:56
gotta sign some shit for some shit
2:14:58
that I did?
2:14:59
You know?
2:15:00
Toomuch?
2:15:00
Fat n w A wasn't a group at
2:15:02
that time.
2:15:03
On paper, Yeah, they
2:15:05
had made they had sold almost two
2:15:07
and a half million records, and
2:15:10
they weren't contractually.
2:15:12
And I've asked this question. I asked you this question,
2:15:15
and he didn't really give me an answer. What
2:15:17
happened with Arabian printing that whole process?
2:15:20
I think Arabian started the writing
2:15:22
on the wall.
2:15:24
Before because he's on the album cover, he's a part
2:15:26
of it.
2:15:27
Well, then took that album cover before
2:15:30
before I got there, and the first
2:15:32
single came from me. They had figured
2:15:34
it out before I got there. Bro,
2:15:38
I tell folks, if
2:15:40
you listen to Gangster,
2:15:44
Gangster, Dope
2:15:47
Man, and
2:15:50
Boys in the Hood, those
2:15:53
are the big records that they had before I got there.
2:15:56
If you listen to those records, they're all the same.
2:15:58
They're the same record. It's
2:16:01
the same message, the same
2:16:03
beat. Damn there, same cadence,
2:16:06
just either dope Man, Dope Man or gangster
2:16:08
gangs.
2:16:09
You know, they had found a formula.
2:16:12
They hadn't found the.
2:16:13
Formula, you know what I man from
2:16:15
the formula formula
2:16:19
being able to take that and put it on the radio.
2:16:21
You got to find a way to get on the radio otherwise.
2:16:25
And so when the Easy, when we
2:16:27
Want the Easy came out, we walk a
2:16:30
radio single.
2:16:31
Once you put it Easy on TV, that was it,
2:16:34
no turning back.
2:16:35
You said, you made the white people like.
2:16:36
They loved him, loved him.
2:16:39
Then when we started doing those shows that
2:16:42
as teenagers, it was, you
2:16:45
know, twenty thirty percent of white folks back.
2:16:47
Then, you know, skame ring right,
2:16:50
you know.
2:16:51
So, And by the time
2:16:54

2:16:56
the chronic and Dre
2:16:58
had touched him when
2:17:01
we was doing Up and Smoke, it was
2:17:03
ninety percent white for white folks
2:17:05
in that on anybody.
2:17:06
You know what I mean? Can you sold out everywhere?
2:17:09
I'm changing subject a little bit. Can you break
2:17:11
down the difference between the S Curl and the Jerry
2:17:14
Curl?
2:17:15
Yeah?
2:17:15
I don't know, because
2:17:17
I ain't have no curl. I
2:17:20
had Naps West
2:17:23
Dallas. But
2:17:26
you got to ask Yeah, you got to ask you.
2:17:29
You gotta ask you that because s
2:17:31

2:17:34
Curl. Can we had soul glow?
2:17:37
I was nine. You definitely had an S curl back then.

He's like something.
2:21:56
And he's never even asked
2:21:59
you what you said the record.
2:22:01
That has to be the first hip hop reggae record without.
2:22:03
Even being rich. Sir
2:22:15
Jenks I always asked, shout out to Sir James.
2:22:18
Yeah, he's an unsung right hero,
2:22:20
he's the legend. Oh yeah, excellent
2:22:22
In that documentary act he did
2:22:25
Alive, I got a lot of respect for Sir Jay Jenks
2:22:27
was.
2:22:27
A cog in that wheel that
2:22:29
folks don't talk about him, but if
2:22:32
you take him out, it don't work.
2:22:33
Him and Cuban Cousins right, no, no, him
2:22:35
and Drea Cousins him Andre, Okay about first
2:22:38
cousin the home the other funk
2:22:40
Almostapien and Cube related.
2:22:42
Yeah. You you stayed a
2:22:45
couple of doors down from
2:22:48
Jinks on on the street off fan
2:22:50
Week.
2:22:50
Yeah, because instead of comping, he's the
2:22:52
little brother, right yeah, right right?
2:22:54
And uh, Jenks was a graffiti
2:22:57
guy first.
2:22:58
He's a super hip hop dancer. Yeah,
2:23:00
I'm talking all the stages.
2:23:02
He went through the four corners of hip hop wow,
2:23:06
and became a producer. And
2:23:08
he did a lot, you know what I mean, Like we we
2:23:11
we groomed each other and grew.
2:23:15
That was a hip hop crew, a legit hip hop
2:23:17
crew. Bro. I love having you
2:23:20
having sur Jinks are part of the documentary.
2:23:24
I loved it. I was, I was sitting there.
2:23:25
It was It was important because Jinks is one
2:23:27
of the few dudes that know where all.
2:23:29
The bones is to And I'm gonna be honest
2:23:31
with you, and he went with Cube though with the
2:23:33
lichen Bob.
2:23:35
That's why you
2:23:37
know what made me and
2:23:40
me as a fucking guy who drinks
2:23:42
a lot. It's gonna sound crazy what I'm about to say,
2:23:44
me seeing him sober in the documentary
2:23:47
because for the last five years you see him
2:23:49
drunk. I've seen him a whole drunk,
2:23:51
Like so drunk, like where I wanted to
2:23:53
like, because you know, I wanted we wanted him
2:23:56
and we had been
2:23:59
a concert. Was you there with Mrs
2:24:02
That one?
2:24:02
No?
2:24:03
This was another one? Oh the one
2:24:05
in Vegas? Who this was in La? This
2:24:08
was in La. And we jumped
2:24:10
out of the car, Sir Jinx. As soon as
2:24:12
I seen them, I was just like, yo, I wanted to
2:24:15
give him a hug, and like he was
2:24:17
just beefing with his friends. He
2:24:19
was arguing with his friends. So I stood
2:24:21
there and I wanted to, you know, wait my turn to say
2:24:24
to say hi and give my respect, but they
2:24:26
were just beeping so much that I was like,
2:24:28
yo, I feel like I'm out of line keeping like
2:24:31
interrupting this. So I had to like
2:24:33
kind of like walk away. And then
2:24:35
I walked away. And then I realized
2:24:40
I had nothing but Puerto Ricans with me, so
2:24:44
we might have looked like Mexicans.
2:24:47
So I'm
2:24:49
performing, and I realized nobody
2:24:51
kind of said oy to me afterwards.
2:24:54
This is in La, and I was realizing, oh
2:24:56
shit, they don't have Puerto Ricans. I
2:24:58
mean this, Puerto Ricans are gay.
2:25:00
She had not it's about twelve no,
2:25:03
No, it's about no
2:25:05
Mexicans running the place where I'm from,
2:25:07
Southgate, Cubans are running the place.
2:25:10
Yeah, so they run the place. But there's everything there,
2:25:12
so you know. But that's
2:25:14
about it. But oh James, I got him. I got
2:25:17
a big up jenks.
2:25:17
Yeah, I gotta give him a shout because no, he's
2:25:20
the reason I don't drink today.
2:25:23
Is because he told you about your birthday. He said, you gotta
2:25:25
have a birthday.
2:25:26
That's right, Yeah, that's.
2:25:27
Exactly right, he says, said it was
2:25:30
my It was the day of my grandmother's birthday.
2:25:33
R I p to Maduro and
2:25:36
it was the day after her birthday.
2:25:38
And when he said that that ship, you
2:25:41
gotter have a birthday. What it's
2:25:43
my grandma's birthday, it's gonna be mine too. Now
2:25:46
I'm full disclosure.
2:25:48
I fell out the wagon last
2:25:51
week, oh Ship, when KRS
2:25:54
came to town and I wanted
2:25:56
to ask him to be on his podcast.
2:25:59
I got a problem asking people for
2:26:02
stuff because I
2:26:04
don't like to be told no.
2:26:06
It changes the dynamic body,
2:26:09
which we're gonna be on the podcast after this
2:26:11
we're doing that.
2:26:11
He'll come to your bal Ebody's just say it's
2:26:14
a personal thing.
2:26:15
Bro.
2:26:15
I don't like that. I don't want to ask ship,
2:26:21
you know what I mean.
2:26:22
But but I stay away from that because
2:26:24
if I ask you and you tell me no, then
2:26:27
you've changed.
2:26:27
The dynamic of relationship.
2:26:29
I might care, I might like. So
2:26:31
I'm just gonna let I'm gonna ask God
2:26:34
and let him give it to me. However you want
2:26:36
to.
2:26:36
Get ead of me, that's you know what I mean.
2:26:39
Where's the walks at Dallas? Yeah,
2:26:41
but we're gonna record here.
2:26:42
Yeah, but it's a local thing,
2:26:45
right because I'm all about Dallas for worth
2:26:47
right now, Okay, right, I'm trying to go
2:26:50
back to the crib and the
2:26:53
it that traveled around the
2:26:56
United States and hillpip it never went
2:26:58
to Dallas. Yet they've
2:27:00
never had their moment, you know
2:27:02
what I'm saying, Like Lay had its moment
2:27:04
on Houston or New Orleans
2:27:07
or Miami or atlanticall
2:27:10
la. Dallas never had theirs.
2:27:12
And maybe I was supposed to be a condient
2:27:15
for that, and then when I fell.
2:27:16
Off, it off fell you.
2:27:17
We didn't give the opportunity to Yeah.
2:27:19
And just you know, we always big up
2:27:21
the South here and I'm a big proponent of the South.
2:27:24
Look at look at what the South. Did he's
2:27:26
from the South. Oh yeah, and people don't even realize
2:27:28
it.
2:27:30
Oh yeah, I'm from the I'm a New York
2:27:32
Jamaican West Coast dude from the.
2:27:34
South was making that for real.
2:27:36
The song said.
2:27:43
Kicks him by way of Dallas.
2:27:46
I love it over there.
2:27:49
But yeah, bro, like I'm
2:27:52
going back to Jenks. I
2:27:55
owe him alive for that moment in time because
2:27:57
he put me on this road.
2:28:00
And you know, Sylvia your own right, of course, I know sivil
2:28:03
room.
2:28:03
So I started the movie to sell.
2:28:07
And man when it when it went out, she went up and starts
2:28:09
clapping and sanging and stomping
2:28:12
like it was an old Negro spiritual movie
2:28:14
or something.
2:28:15
That's how you know it movie, that's how it feels, bro.
2:28:17
Yeah yeah, And
2:28:20
I said to her, I quit drinking. She
2:28:22
was like, thank god. I was like, wow, I
2:28:25
must have really been you know, something
2:28:27
else out there.
2:28:28
But you know what was great about didn't
2:28:31
you have a movie premiere?
2:28:32
Yeah?
2:28:33
It's in film festival. It was inca Tronabecca.
2:28:35
Yeah, but wasn't it in LA Because I remember just people
2:28:38
just posting I've seen something
2:28:40
where people just posting it was the
2:28:42
premier.
2:28:43
Was the first The premier was in at
2:28:46
Triballca.
2:28:46
Oh that was Tripreca okay, and
2:28:49
that's in New York. Yeah, okay, I thought
2:28:51
it was. It was Apropos
2:28:55
because it was hip hop. Was fifty his birthday.
2:28:57
Oh that's right, that's right, that's where uh in
2:29:00
my.
2:29:00
Eyes, it's a
2:29:02
love it's a love story to hip
2:29:04
hop. It's me, it's
2:29:07
you, but it's really it's us, really,
2:29:09
you know what I mean.
2:29:10
Let me let me give you a moment. Man, it's
2:29:13
you.
2:29:13
Man, you know what.
2:29:13
I appreciate that cam fuck, I
2:29:16
swear I do, but it's us.
2:29:19
I respect that that needs everything.
2:29:22
You mean, I respect that. But let me just
2:29:24
tell you something. When
2:29:26
the football team plays,
2:29:31
the football team wins, but it's
2:29:33
always that one guy who scores the
2:29:35
touchdown.
2:29:36
That's right, and.
2:29:39
The loved oc Let
2:29:42
me give you your MVP.
2:29:49
Yes, it's the culture. Yes, it's the culture.
2:29:51
Yes, it's the culture, But it's
2:29:55
that guy scoring that touchdown at the end.
2:29:57
It's the running back that's going through the motherfucker
2:30:00
and you know line of scrimmage that
2:30:02
you've been doing, it's the running back
2:30:05
going through the motherfucking red zone that's
2:30:07
going through there. It's the motherfucker dude
2:30:09
hitting that three point. It's the motherfucker catching
2:30:11
that out of you. And you are
2:30:13
that motherfucker. And I
2:30:16
cannot let you stand here in
2:30:19
my in my atmosphere,
2:30:21
my show and not let you know how
2:30:23
much you motherfucking are
2:30:25
that motherfucker. And everyone
2:30:28
here let me tell you something, everyone here is
2:30:30
so excited to sit here to
2:30:32
get an autograph from you at the end of the show
2:30:34
and take a picture with you because of
2:30:38
what you fucking mean to this culture, what
2:30:41
you mean to our genre,
2:30:44
and what you mean to our society. And
2:30:47
I needed for you to know that
2:30:51
you that motherfucker.
2:30:56
No, No, I ain't
2:30:58
glad, y'all. I'm when
2:31:02
I say when when kr Rest
2:31:04
came and
2:31:06
then uh face
2:31:09
came last night, in all these
2:31:11
moments that you catch on camera, see,
2:31:13
I never got a chance to hear any of this because
2:31:16
I was in that hole with my guys,
2:31:19
and these kind of things
2:31:21
don't don't feel start down to me.
2:31:24
Like I said, I'm in the back holding
2:31:27
holding up to my guys. But
2:31:30
but bro, that should mean that
2:31:33
means everything. To know that
2:31:36
the people that do the ship, yes, that
2:31:38
really know love the fun they're talking
2:31:40
about God got got respect
2:31:43
for the path.
2:31:44
The only respect is love, loyalty,
2:31:47
and it's it's it's cherishment, you
2:31:50
know what I mean. Like, I
2:31:53
don't think this, Like I know we spoke
2:31:55
about jay Z bicking you up earlier, earlier,
2:31:58
but I don't think there's any MC that came
2:32:01
behind you that can't
2:32:04
show you that same amount of respect and
2:32:06
love. It's just I
2:32:09
don't use big words, but it's unequipplently,
2:32:17
it's unincrivably not possible.
2:32:20
It's just can't.
2:32:21
Like when you think of hip hop, like I swear
2:32:24
to God when I said it earlier, and I
2:32:26
really can't think of hip hop about you, like
2:32:29
I really can't. And you know what's crazy.
2:32:33
People who are at the top of the game can't think
2:32:35
of it neither. I don't think Drake
2:32:38
can. I don't think rin can.
2:32:41
I don't think Easy can. I
2:32:43
don't think Jimmy IV can.
2:32:45
It's the only story of youth, what you saw.
2:32:48
It's the only story they haven't told yet.
2:32:50
It's beautiful, though it
2:32:53
needs to be told.
2:32:54
G O D did that, man, he did that for a
2:32:56
purpose, so motherfuckers can
2:32:58
see. That's why waiting to say nigga,
2:33:01
it's gonna be my time when
2:33:03
we show this movie. It's gonna be a lot in me. And
2:33:06
look what I did, and I look what that
2:33:08
boy did to look good, this company
2:33:11
did.
2:33:11
This is what I did. And I'm gonna stand up there and I'm gonna
2:33:13
say it loud
2:33:15
as hell. You know what I mean because.
2:33:19
You saw the movie, so you know I loved the
2:33:21
movie. This ship, but I want to see
2:33:23
this ship. I'm so bragging on him because
2:33:26
I knew about it. Wait before, you know, I
2:33:29
don't need the premiere, and I was like,
2:33:31
where the fuck is this ship out? And I'm gonna be honest with
2:33:33
you. I checked Prime, I checked
2:33:35
Hulu. I didn't want to hate you the wrec.
2:33:37
I wanted to watch it on my own and
2:33:41
and when I realized, I was like,
2:33:43
holy shit, like
2:33:45
this this this, this is something that you're doing independently,
2:33:48
correct because you did this premiere
2:33:50
on your own. So this is not no Netflix.
2:33:53
It's not for you to do. And
2:33:57
I don't want to give you any suggestions or anything.
2:33:59
But what I want to tell you is it belongs
2:34:01
to everybody. That's right this story. I
2:34:04
can't see it exclusive, although I know Netflix
2:34:07
will probably give you a bag. And now he's
2:34:09
just waiting for the right situation. Keep
2:34:11
it to himself and Hulu will
2:34:13
probably give you a bag. But in my opinion, this
2:34:17
ship belongs to the world, like
2:34:19
the world needs to see the
2:34:21
d O C story.
2:34:23
And the impact of your story has on everything that they
2:34:25
didn't even know that actually it impacted.
2:34:27
That's right, because it impacted so much.
2:34:29
That's right. If you remember it was that
2:34:32
accident was a fork in the.
2:34:33
Road, right, you know what I mean, your
2:34:36
career, that break don't
2:34:38
happen. That thing about that accident is so crazy,
2:34:41
is because when when
2:34:43
when you investigated it and you say, the police
2:34:45
pulled Joob first, and
2:34:48
not only the police pulled Jeoba, but they took
2:34:50
pictures with you. You had God records
2:34:52
in the back y'all
2:34:55
sitting there.
2:34:58
When they when they told me get
2:35:00
out of the car. I
2:35:03
was loaded. I was on whatever.
2:35:08
I was coming out to Beverly Hills Hotel,
2:35:11
live in my best life with two of
2:35:13
LA's.
2:35:13
Finest you know, and
2:35:16
uh, you
2:35:19
know what I'm saying, But
2:35:21
I but I didn't want to.
2:35:24
Sleep the acronym what is the
2:35:26
d O C? So I know the
2:35:28
story you you were with two females.
2:35:31
You d o s them them,
2:35:35
but you didn't want to. You didn't
2:35:40
want to. Which is which is?
2:35:42
Which is?
2:35:42
You know this is real like.
2:35:45
Smash, but I don't want to sleep, that's right, So
2:35:47
you wanted to leave. Gets
2:35:50
pulled over by l A and
2:35:53
they take pictures of your gold records.
2:35:55
I got out there. They said,
2:35:57
get out of the car. I get out. The cars
2:36:00
are telling jokes and and
2:36:02
giving the laughing. Oh yeah, BRO told
2:36:04
him that I rote, I wrote
2:36:07
the police. They laughed, yeah, like
2:36:09
that, and the police too. And the gold records was
2:36:11
in the backseat.
2:36:14
Gold records back then, shot of records.
2:36:16
It's like all I said. Now they want to autographs
2:36:19
and shad. So they take pictures
2:36:21
of me with my thing, of me signing
2:36:23
the ticket, you know, and uh.
2:36:26
Let me go in retrospect.
2:36:28
I know this probably might be a hard question. Do
2:36:30
you wish you would have got arrested there?
2:36:32
Noo?
2:36:34
Had you got arrested, maybe you wouldn't have had that.
2:36:36
I wouldn't be a less right, but they had that.
2:36:39
I feel the accent is a blessing, right,
2:36:41
that's right, you feel it because it could have been worse.
2:36:44
Probably had that accident not happened.
2:36:46
I tell folks all the time that I was too
2:36:48
part before too right. I
2:36:50
could see that, not because I was
2:36:52
a rapper, because I was
2:36:54
in the space. When you were a position, in the position
2:36:56
you were in, and being around
2:36:59
that element, you're always going to
2:37:01
be the first one to catch a fall,
2:37:04
because they're protecting themselves in a way
2:37:06
that you don't know. He
2:37:08
had no business being
2:37:11
in the middle of that stuff, kicking in whatever he was
2:37:13
doing to that person, being who
2:37:15
he is number one in Vegas,
2:37:17
yeah, and being
2:37:20
where he's found number two. It's
2:37:23
double negatives.
2:37:24
I cannot even tell you that they're gonna
2:37:26
let you crash and that's what happened, you
2:37:28
know, And I don't know who
2:37:31
or what. That's not even my uh
2:37:35
my place to be in the middle of that. I
2:37:37
don't even listen to when they talk about Sean
2:37:41
Combs and all that. I don't, you
2:37:43
know. The only interaction I have with.
2:37:47
What he did is when Sean was doing
2:37:50
he did the records, sawing that dangs to Y called
2:37:53
me and say, hey, what do I gotta do to get
2:37:55
you in this video? I said, nigga, he did it, you
2:37:58
know, send me a ticket right
2:38:00
up there and knock it out, you know. And
2:38:02
Sean was a uh a
2:38:05
gentleman and a great scholar and
2:38:07
a great gee he uh you
2:38:11
know, he was super cool and I really
2:38:14
enjoyed myself a mess. Sabba
2:38:16
jud that that day and he
2:38:18
was in there for hitting that bag. He was lighting that mother
2:38:20
but up and I
2:38:23
had a blast, you know what I mean, walking on the
2:38:25
streets out there. Buffy
2:38:30
had sent me some gear that's another story,
2:38:32
as you know.
2:38:34
But but I wore the gear John,
2:38:36
Yeah, and and
2:38:38
uh, but I really And then
2:38:40
he sent me a bus to
2:38:43
a party that I had to go to a party with all
2:38:45
of.
2:38:45
These stars and stuff. There wasn't
2:38:48
no doors, and to
2:38:50
be clear, it was one
2:38:52
door you get in that's where everybody, and
2:38:55
one door when you get out. And I
2:38:58
got loaded in that mother parder. Then
2:39:01
they got.
2:39:01
Arrested leaving because
2:39:04
you get loaded and you think you could talk shit to
2:39:06
everybody, including NYPD.
2:39:09
What you should never do unless
2:39:12
you trying to go sit down somewhere
2:39:14
for me, Yeah, just lead
2:39:16
him along. Yeah, my
2:39:18
guys, they snatched my ass and threw me on that
2:39:20
bus and we pulled off. But but
2:39:22
I had a great time Sean,
2:39:25
and Sean was a true gentleman.
2:39:27
I really appreciated him for not
2:39:30
only just being respectful enough
2:39:33
to put the record.
2:39:34
Out, but to call me and say, hey, man, when you come to.
2:39:36
Be a part of it, you know, that's what that was best
2:39:39
coach to me, right, And that's that's what it
2:39:41
was. Uh.
2:39:42
That other ship was just some bullshit,
2:39:45
and we still stuck in
2:39:47
that space.
2:39:48
It's crazy that all these years later, we're
2:39:50
still dealing with the effects.
2:39:52
Of that, stuck in that space.
2:39:54
Everybody trying to be yeah, don't.
2:39:56
Believe East Coast, West Coast is going.
2:39:58
Nah, We're still dealing with the effects of that. Man,
2:40:00
there's still being the youngest is going through that. No, not the
2:40:02
youngest, but we're still debating and we're still talking
2:40:04
about it.
2:40:05
There's still like bad blood about it. I don't
2:40:07
think it's bad, but I think I went
2:40:09
older than what the offense were. What I mean
2:40:12
to your point was that
2:40:15
it's the street right, or
2:40:18
the idea of what's that
2:40:21
right.
2:40:21
It's got the game.
2:40:22
I'm not saying the specific people beefing or
2:40:24
the coast beefing, but okay, yeah,
2:40:27
we gotta let that.
2:40:28
Go because because I'm gonna be honest with you,
2:40:33
I haven't been in New York and
2:40:35
like maybe eight months, but
2:40:38
eight months ago I went through New
2:40:41
York and I felt like I was
2:40:43
in the West Coast. It's literally
2:40:45
bloods and crips
2:40:49
everywhere.
2:40:49
That's what TV do for you. And
2:40:52
I'm like Yolk or something like that. I
2:40:54
was a pleasant.
2:40:56
I would never think that. I would never think
2:41:00
in eighty seven would you think that
2:41:03
they would be blood and holks in New York? Hell,
2:41:06
no, helmet.
2:41:07
But I didn't think eighty seven it would be bloods
2:41:09
and clips in Dallas.
2:41:11
Wow.
2:41:11
You know, so I left Dallas.
2:41:13
Everybody but you was telling us all
2:41:15
explaining it on education was he was explaining
2:41:18
it, and nobody wanted to really listen.
2:41:22
He was saying that that gang members go out
2:41:24
there.
2:41:25
Yeah, I mean, there's different reasons why
2:41:27
it's spread, but he was giving you the
2:41:30
blueprint at that time how it was spreading.
2:41:32
But isn't it that kind of like even because
2:41:34
because social media is a big part of the West
2:41:37
Coast, we gave the West Coast rap right
2:41:39
not to say it like that, but then the West
2:41:41
Coast gave us gang banger.
2:41:44
Well, look, there's
2:41:46
a dude named Schooling d schoolies.
2:41:48
Here's the rap. They say he's the original.
2:41:50
Even a cadence that
2:41:53
they used came from
2:41:55
schooling day.
2:41:56
First, yeah, you're saying
2:41:58
because a lot of people who credit you with one
2:42:01
of the most important people up against the rap
2:42:03
Icy icedy as well, so
2:42:06
like my role.
2:42:07
But you said school d oh yeah, okay,
2:42:09
the case is that Ice Ice ded
2:42:11
Ice adopted then cbe
2:42:13
adopted it. Wow, came
2:42:15
from school he dam Am I right or wrong?
2:42:17
From Philadelphia's right? Did I ever
2:42:19
say if he was? He said
2:42:21
he said in this show he said, yeah,
2:42:24
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
2:42:27
that's exactly what.
2:42:28
But am I wrong? Because you said you gave it to
2:42:30
him? In terms of influence on gangster I
2:42:32
never saw you in that light because
2:42:34
I felt like you were like the nas of this period.
2:42:37
Yeah, you wasn't really talking crazy.
2:42:40
No, I think what what folks meant
2:42:42
as I was able to help those guys get those
2:42:44
got care. I got that because
2:42:46
without radio you, especially back.
2:42:49
Then, right even today, I
2:42:51
could see hard than that, right,
2:42:53
right, right.
2:42:54
You don't win unless you get on the radio.
2:42:56
Bro.
2:42:57
Period what today it might be a little different,
2:43:00
but but even today
2:43:02
just like then.
2:43:03
It's the same.
2:43:04
The machine promotes the same five
2:43:07
or six guys that they want
2:43:09
to be.
2:43:10
You know, the guys and everybody else
2:43:12
just have to figure it out. Mm hmm.
2:43:15
Now, Erica, had you vegan for two
2:43:17
years?
2:43:17
Right?
2:43:17
Yeah?
2:43:22
Beautiful, that's
2:43:24
beautiful.
2:43:26
No, I'm gonna tell you something or whatnot. I seen
2:43:29
cam run when on it and he
2:43:32
went on, what said
2:43:34
something about my dude. She can't give him
2:43:36
nothing. I know
2:43:38
somebody because everybody she touches
2:43:40
is traumatized.
2:43:44
I wasn't ready, but uh,
2:43:48
always.
2:43:51
Always, I can't help but respect.
2:43:55
That's sister.
2:43:57
That's right now. Your relationship is beautiful.
2:44:00
Beautiful because she gave me that child,
2:44:03
and that child save my spirit. Whow
2:44:06
when I couldn't love myself, that
2:44:08
little girl loved me so much. Who
2:44:11
that I had to try to straighten my shit out?
2:44:13
You know, I don't want the window.
2:44:16
I got caught drinking and driving
2:44:18

2:44:21
months I did. I
2:44:23
never called poem once during
2:44:26
that time. And her grandmother, uh, Erica's
2:44:29
mother. When I finally came
2:44:31
home, she cussed me out, up and down, back
2:44:33

2:44:33
Her grandmother because she said
2:44:36

2:46:57
Accolades and the money
2:46:59
and all the blessings that were
2:47:02
supposed to have come
2:47:04
back. Then the motherfuckers about to fall. I
2:47:07
know that, right, And I ain't
2:47:09
got the kiss, no ass to get it right.
2:47:12
I ain't got to suck. No, I don't have to do
2:47:14
nothing to get it.
2:47:15
No doors, no doors, no doors.
2:47:18
It might be you might have just
2:47:22
the other way. That's what people understand me. Right, might
2:47:25
take some patience.
2:47:25
How are you going to react when
2:47:28
it's your turn? When the rabbit get the gun
2:47:31
right with grace?
2:47:34
No, I don't know. You kind of stopped me earlier
2:47:36
on this, but I just kind
2:47:38
of want to say how much
2:47:43
the love that I felt Gray
2:47:46
has for you. When he says,
2:47:48
I'm sorry if we're
2:47:50
at it, if you want me to, but he
2:47:52
says, I'm his voice, Nigga,
2:47:59
I'm sitting there trying to be tough, to
2:48:03
not be tough. When
2:48:05
your friend says, you
2:48:07
know, fuck that, I'm
2:48:10
his voice, like meaning, some
2:48:13
of the best raps you ever heard out of my mouth
2:48:16
came from him.
2:48:18
So I'm his voice. That's right. Same
2:48:23
thing with the dog man.
2:48:25
I love that those guys allowed me
2:48:27
to live. I love them. I
2:48:30
loved if you said you said you
2:48:32
also said you said you
2:48:36
vicariously lived through snoop During
2:48:39
that first you stood
2:48:41
in the studio and
2:48:43
you wanted to give
2:48:46
all you had to him. This is a
2:48:48
lot about your character. I
2:48:50
don't know you could have been better at that time.
2:48:53
Yeah, but that's not gonna help nobody,
2:48:55
you know what I mean. That's not gonna help me. It's
2:48:57
not gonna help them. It's
2:49:00
not gonna make no money like
2:49:03
I had one. And I
2:49:05
was so when when when
2:49:07
when? When it happened, I
2:49:10
was so ashamed that
2:49:12
I let it happen to me.
2:49:14
I wouldn't go home with the record. Yeah, okay,
2:49:16
you know.
2:49:18
When you at home, they don't think you're gonna do nothing.
2:49:20
You ain't feelsh, you know, then.
2:49:22
You escape and and make
2:49:24
it and it's right here and
2:49:27
you blow it or you know what's gonna
2:49:29
happen when you get home.
2:49:30
They finna let your ass have it.
2:49:32
And I couldn't even go home, So I had to
2:49:35
stay out there in La till I could figure
2:49:37
this shit out.
2:49:39
Woll how am I gonna get it?
2:49:40
I'm gonna step back and and
2:49:43
be see gonna be somebody
2:49:45
that's behind the scenes.
2:49:47
So I talked Shug
2:49:50
into building
2:49:53
something for us, me and him
2:49:55
first before before
2:49:58
Dre but
2:50:01
I couldn't.
2:50:01
I couldn't get out of my own way, so I can't
2:50:03
do this shit without without Dre, he
2:50:06
said, we gotta figure that out.
2:50:08
And he had no relationship with Dread at the time. So
2:50:10
you're the seed planet. You're
2:50:13
the nucleus for all.
2:50:14
Of that, the lunchpin.
2:50:15
It don't work because somebody gotta suffer
2:50:19
in order for it to happen. With
2:50:21
them that they work out there, somebody
2:50:24
got to lose. Everybody don't get to
2:50:26
win. And I take this step
2:50:29
back because I think if I take one
2:50:31
step back, I could take two steps forward.
2:50:35
But that was before before
2:50:38
the real gangster shit showed up, you
2:50:40
know what I mean.
2:50:41
Like, I'm writing all these songs about all this, but
2:50:44
when that real ship showed up, you
2:50:47
get quiet, real motherfucker fast.
2:50:49
When when when those real
2:50:51
situations show up. And
2:50:54
a lot of a lot of that stuff I could
2:50:56
never repeat. But
2:50:59
I would have to work with them glasses at
2:51:02
I asked some glasses when I came in, But
2:51:04
I would have to sit and that and that space
2:51:06
loaded with them glasses, them
2:51:09
black glasses, basically
2:51:11
hiding behind them motherfuckers, cause you
2:51:14
kill or be killed in that space. You can't show no
2:51:16
weakness. So even though you know what's
2:51:18
what's going on is wrong. You can't
2:51:21
say nothing. You have to just suck
2:51:23
it up, right, you know, That's the space
2:51:26
I was in. It was extremely uncomfortable,
2:51:31
but it was something
2:51:33
that God wanted me to go through and learn
2:51:36
that so that when I go talk to these young men,
2:51:39
they understand that I'm coming from a place
2:51:41
of love. But I'm not telling you nothing
2:51:43
that I think that. I'm telling you what I
2:51:46
seen. What's gonna this is these
2:51:48
are the steps that's gonna happen to either
2:51:51
destroy your life or save it.
2:51:53
And and the choice of to you.
2:51:55
But I'm not finna blown on smoke
2:51:57
up your ass and make you think that life is just
2:52:00
it's beautiful, because it ain't.
2:52:03
The scariest part of you
2:52:06
know, I think I'm been famous for twenty five
2:52:08
years, right, I've been part
2:52:10
of this game. Right.
2:52:12
But one of the.
2:52:13
Dangerous parts was after the Tupac
2:52:16
and Biggie both passed.
2:52:18
Yeah, like it didn't
2:52:20
feel real, it didn't feel right,
2:52:23
and it almost felt like the streets was
2:52:27
more in control of the industry than
2:52:30
we were at
2:52:33
that time, or unveiled that
2:52:35
fact. Yes, you're
2:52:38
you're need deep, You're
2:52:41
like, I'm I'm little guy, but
2:52:44
your knee deep in it. Did you ever
2:52:46
think that the streets would
2:52:48
take over like music like
2:52:51
that? I couldn't see that. I didn't see
2:52:53
it neither. And I'm outside of looking at it at
2:52:55
the time. That was the inside of looking out, but
2:52:58
you were inside. Yes, it was a
2:53:00
he was a different beast. He became
2:53:03
a different beast. Or was he always that?
2:53:05
Yeah? He was always He was a different, different
2:53:07
motherfucker. But you
2:53:11
guess why.
2:53:12
You can't take nothing away from him because even
2:53:14
though it was messy, he moved
2:53:17
that stuff forward in a way
2:53:19
that the machine didn't want it to move, but
2:53:21
he wanted it to move, you know what I'm saying.
2:53:23
Wow, But let me ask you, why are we all surprised
2:53:26
of that fact when the
2:53:28
whole entertainment business and the music business
2:53:30
specifically was always
2:53:33
controlled by the underworld, the
2:53:35
mafia. That's that's the way the music
2:53:38
industry, Hollywood, all of that foundations
2:53:41
is the mob. You want me,
2:53:43
it is the underworld organized crime,
2:53:46
but not our mobs. You're right,
2:53:48
But I'm just saying for it to spill over it.
2:53:51
It was always there like that, that, that dirty
2:53:54
side was always there.
2:53:55
Yeah, if
2:53:57
I can humbly answer that question, we
2:54:01
never made it and then had
2:54:03
the same problems of us not making
2:54:06
it. That's why it felt
2:54:08
weird because bad
2:54:10
Boy and Death Row with two
2:54:13
of the most successful people. How
2:54:15
the fuck do y'all got beef? The
2:54:18
most successful, most successful
2:54:20
everything.
2:54:20
They could have changed what
2:54:23
you said, Like, it could have been
2:54:25
a magazine It could have been a simple magazine
2:54:27
couple. But we didn't know that, and we didn't
2:54:30
understand that. Holy shit, do
2:54:32
you know how powerful we would have been together.
2:54:35
But then again, it's young men
2:54:38
with a lot of money. Again, I
2:54:40
think we underestimate the age of everybody,
2:54:42
Like like people talk about Tupac today
2:54:44
as if he's our aide doing
2:54:49
young men but also
2:54:51
doing extraordinary thing and
2:54:54
so it shug So it was easy
2:54:56
at the time. So like that's the thing, is young
2:54:58
men doing young men ship. And then
2:55:00
we got to understand then this foundation
2:55:03
I'm talking about those doors.
2:55:05
They know these young men oh yeah.
2:55:08
Doing that that are probably gonna go astray
2:55:10
and then give knowing that they're dealing with some money
2:55:12
things.
2:55:13
So I mean, we just got to like put it in perspective
2:55:15
to understand easy.
2:55:16
Jerry's genius,
2:55:20
right, if you.
2:55:21
Keep could I mean you could.
2:55:23
Was identifying whoever
2:55:26
it was right and putting
2:55:28
him into space to be who he was.
2:55:31
Jerry, Yeah, because not everybody would have gave Easy
2:55:33
that off.
2:55:34
You are knowing that Easy was
2:55:36
the brick. Yeah, and he
2:55:39
wasn't you know what I mean?
2:55:39
Like, if you'd have gave any
2:55:42
of those other guys that option,
2:55:45
they probably wouldn't have took that option.
2:55:47
Because let me ask you, and I
2:55:49
wanted to ask you this earlier, do
2:55:56
you think Easy was persuaded
2:56:00
into like Jerry's
2:56:05
point of view or do you
2:56:07
think it was Easy's idea?
2:56:09
No?
2:56:11
I don't think it was Easy, Okay, I don't.
2:56:13
I don't either know he gave him the gang.
2:56:14
I think Jerry gave me. Jerry said,
2:56:17
yo, and it
2:56:19
was the It was the norm. Doing
2:56:21
foulshit was the norm. And you don't
2:56:23
even know it's foul shit, like all the
2:56:25
contract shit that we talk about now, Like you know,
2:56:28
if we learn to be managers, we learned
2:56:30
it from this person, then we managed this person
2:56:32
and we put them on another contract.
2:56:34
That's normal, but it's foul.
2:56:35
And then as we keep going, we say, hold on, man, this
2:56:37
contract fucked up because that's
2:56:40
the norm, and that's the thing man, right,
2:56:42
And this is the thing about hip hop, and this is my maybe
2:56:45
it's my not even say.
2:56:46
About hip hop.
2:56:47
But the reason why hip hop should have been and is
2:56:49
different is because it encompassed
2:56:51
the whole culture that was more than the
2:56:53
genre of the music itself that was being monetized
2:56:56
by the industry. It had the opportunity
2:56:58
and still has the opportunity as a full on culture
2:57:01
that has a lot to offer more than the music
2:57:03
that's being monetized. But what did
2:57:05
the industry do, whether we say it's nefarious
2:57:09
or not, They broke up the cost these
2:57:11
breakdancers, they don't make money, and
2:57:14
these DJs ain't shit anymore.
2:57:16
But these coffiti artists don't do nothing.
2:57:18
And but not only that, it's the biggest
2:57:20
thing that we mentioned it slightly
2:57:24
is the East Coast and West Coast like
2:57:27
when you actually look at it, East
2:57:29
Coast and West Coast are the same people with different
2:57:32
That was a divide and conquer opportunity.
2:57:34
Fucking accents and to monetize
2:57:36
while you're dividing and conquer, right, conquer
2:57:39
you know what I'm saying.
2:57:40
You never see to
2:57:42
your point earlier, the.
2:57:47
Most acts in show business we have egos
2:57:49
and we want to be the best, and we're gonna
2:57:52
turn down the house.
2:57:53
But you never see the rock acts.
2:57:55
That's what we sell. They don't do that.
2:57:57
They don't and even if they do, they let
2:58:00
they one hundred and three and died and then they still
2:58:02
live.
2:58:02
I'll never die, right, Mickjack
2:58:04
out here seven hundred years old, right,
2:58:08
the grand and the grandkids are still trying to get
2:58:10
in the bigga at nineteen hundred years old. And
2:58:12
we got wooden teeth just.
2:58:15
In Smalls
2:58:18
and in Tupac, just
2:58:21
in those two men. If you think
2:58:23
about what we got ribbed as
2:58:27
older men, because you could
2:58:30
you could see the trajectory that
2:58:32
block was. I said, I said,
2:58:34
we needed Malcolms.
2:58:36
We need while he was there.
2:58:38
He was.
2:58:39
That's what that he was there, you
2:58:41
know, that's where he was.
2:58:42
That guy. That's the stuff that
2:58:44
I'm talking now that I'm trying
2:58:46
to do. He was. He
2:58:48
was paid in that road then right
2:58:51
to get out there and talk to these boys the
2:58:53
way they need to be talking.
2:58:54
He kind of did it in his acting more than his Music's
2:58:57
right. Well, well, well he
2:58:59
did it in his music as well.
2:59:00
He did, but I'm saying his acting showed him in a light
2:59:03
that wasn't shown back then for artists. Pop made
2:59:05
me when this ship rap artists at least, and then go to church
2:59:07
the next day. I'm saying, I
2:59:10
wonder I haven't got a ghetto like where he's
2:59:15
got a baby, he said, Brendan, I
2:59:18
wonder why you call you bitch? I said, wait a minute,
2:59:20
right, that gott of me? It's
2:59:23
real geminis. Yeah, bro, motherfuckers
2:59:25
are crazy, relaxed bro with the Gemini. Yeah,
2:59:29
my wife is a gymnist.
2:59:31
Gemini about someone that's a crazy
2:59:33
motherfucker Gemini. So
2:59:36
you on the Tupac side, Yeah, yeah,
2:59:39
my wife is on the Tubox side
2:59:41
to June. But but that's what
2:59:43
it's really. It's not that Geminis
2:59:45
are fake people. Is y'all are really
2:59:47
those people? When it become those people,
2:59:50
I don't know. I don't like the way you're talking about it. No, I'm just being
2:59:52
honest. You are that person and then you are
2:59:54
this person. We are both, we are everything.
2:59:57
This is what I'm trying to take you.
2:59:59
Yeah, they send them at all
3:00:02
and all of those other substances.
3:00:04
That thing, all the will, that's what it is.
3:00:07
I listened to Tupac one day and he had
3:00:09
a record call I
3:00:14
Know you love the Old School and
3:00:18
and and if you listen to it, he
3:00:20
breaks down New York in a way that
3:00:23
only in New Yorker could, only a New York could break
3:00:26
it down. But then the very next record
3:00:28
comes on California.
3:00:31
Niggas were chucks and up balties, that's why. And
3:00:34
I believed in town. That's right, that
3:00:36
was his loyalty speaking as well.
3:00:37
This motherfucker was a genius e
3:00:40
from Baltimore. He was both and he's
3:00:42
from Baltimo. He was from wasn't
3:00:45
he born in New York? And then he went to school in Baltimore,
3:00:47
Brooklyn? I believe born in went
3:00:50
to school in Baltimore, grew up in Oakland and
3:00:52
Oakland.
3:00:52
He's from everywhere.
3:00:53
Bro Yes, yes, And
3:00:55
that doesn't make him fake, that makes them global,
3:00:58
that makes.
3:00:58
Him Yet it makes them more friends in the most kids
3:01:01
his age.
3:01:01
When you talk about acting like
3:01:07
there's there's no besides
3:01:12
you got will, there's
3:01:14
not another hip hop guy that with
3:01:17
shops.
3:01:17
Queen Latifa, Queen latifas
3:01:20
dope but pock Yes.
3:01:24
Academy Award winning kind.
3:01:26
Of back then, yeah, back then, yeah,
3:01:29
Gridlock. What he did Gridlock?
3:01:31
Yeah, I thought he was. We got
3:01:33
a round of that.
3:01:34
You know, he was gonna be a great, great
3:01:37
fucking actor and do things
3:01:39
for us in this hip hop space.
3:01:41
That a louder but but we'll, you
3:01:44
know, we'll crush that for us.
3:01:46
You know.
3:01:46
Yeah, he's got classic
3:01:50
giant movies out and he's a
3:01:53
fantastic fucking actor for the
3:01:56
Oscars.
3:01:57
Let's strot that out. There was that actor. I
3:01:59
don't know what what's that acting. I'm still a little
3:02:01
confused that.
3:02:03
Acting because I've seen something on TV
3:02:07
so on them on the web.
3:02:09
Yeah, they tried to break it down.
3:02:10
The no, that was fake, the one where they showed the movie that
3:02:13
was that was they created that. Yeah,
3:02:16
see that's how we're all fucked up nowadays. We don't know what's
3:02:18
you know what I'm saying.
3:02:19
They created that, They put it, made it black and white, man, look
3:02:21
like it.
3:02:22
Was an old movie that.
3:02:24
They I
3:02:28
got caught to it.
3:02:29
That was big, made that up? I because,
3:02:33
man, how do you do that?
3:02:34
That was a gold move that night?
3:02:36
And what what shapills saying? I
3:02:40
know the one thing he
3:02:42
wouldn't have done it. He's enjoyed
3:02:45
the rest of his evening. Uh,
3:02:49
speaking about our Chris Rock took
3:02:52
that swallowed that.
3:02:56
He handled that man.
3:02:57
Man, that that was the cold what.
3:03:00
I don't know what the hell?
3:03:02
No, yes, I do out of I would have lost
3:03:04
at that fucking and I don't think
3:03:07
i'd have been able to hold that one.
3:03:09
Man.
3:03:09
Am I going too far?
3:03:11
They told, Okay, now
3:03:14
you gotta give credit to Chris Rock on that.
3:03:16
Yeah, Rock nothing,
3:03:18
but look, I've I've always had the
3:03:21
greatest respect for him
3:03:23
as an artist, even
3:03:26
when he was when when he was doing the
3:03:28
SNL big you could tell he was
3:03:30
writing.
3:03:31
And I'm a writer.
3:03:32
So that's about Chris Rock. Yeah, I
3:03:35
thought you would have been mad at him for c before I
3:03:37
thought he was a say, pooky, you
3:03:39
mean that the boys thing?
3:03:41
He was doing it.
3:03:42
It was one of the Oh I didn't even think about that.
3:03:46
One of them.
3:03:47
Yeah, I
3:03:49
mean, the ship wasn't funny, you
3:03:51
know, But I ain't mad at nobody's ship.
3:03:55
Minister Society. It
3:03:57
was a dude named Doc in that movie with
3:04:00
the biggest d O C on his hat. It
3:04:03
was watch the shorts brother
3:04:06
or something in the movie.
3:04:08
So when they was in the room watching
3:04:10
the him doing the ship, the the.
3:04:13
Guys walking around with the hat on and say, d
3:04:15
o h,
3:04:23

3:04:25
always.
3:04:26
Been there Pink from Friday.
3:04:29
W No, I'm talking about
3:04:31
Minister Society. It was
3:04:33
a young dude.
3:04:34
If it's with two shots, they watching him
3:04:37
do the robbery, they just watched him
3:04:39
like they're having fun.
3:04:40
They got the shotgun right, Yeah, that's not
3:04:42
what he said. You think you're wrong and nothing
3:04:44
that this different movie. I'm
3:04:46
up, but I'm outside.
3:04:49
Yeah, rober I was there. That's why they
3:04:52
in the movie spread out of concert. I'm
3:04:56
there through the whole movie. I
3:04:59
don't say a whole lot, but I'm there.
3:05:02
But uh, is
3:05:04
that why that movie is so fucking great?
3:05:06
Because I was there? Yeah?
3:05:09
Maybe what
3:05:12
you want consultants the whole time.
3:05:14
Now, they asked me some questions and ship and
3:05:17
I did you know, Jerry
3:05:20
called me and said, these folks want to talk to you. I
3:05:23
gave him my stories, but if
3:05:25
you really want to tell the stories, you gotta go to Jinks.
3:05:28
He knows them all and he tells
3:05:31
him so well, and he don't
3:05:33
give a shit.
3:05:34
You know.
3:05:35
Did you ever think it would be this like
3:05:38
this war? Like I noticed, it's like an
3:05:40
appliche type of question. Do you ever think the
3:05:42
hip hop was big at this war? But it's like
3:05:45
did you I.
3:05:46
Think we on the other side of the
3:05:50
messed up parts?
3:05:52
Other side is good or bad? Good?
3:05:55
I think the machine is
3:05:59
employed it is, you
3:06:01
know. I think all those
3:06:03
old systems are falling
3:06:05
apart.
3:06:06
They're starting to eat each other, which
3:06:09
opens the door for us to
3:06:12
build new systems that work
3:06:14
for us, you know what I mean, because
3:06:16
one of the creators
3:06:19
control the business
3:06:22
and then we win. The
3:06:25
machine controls the business because
3:06:27
they created the only lanes and
3:06:30
you can only play. You
3:06:32
can only walk through this door if you walk through it the
3:06:34
way they want you to walk through. That's the only
3:06:36
way you get in these lanes. So we
3:06:39
have to develop lanes for
3:06:41
hours. Yeah, and for those that's coming
3:06:43
behind us, because it's just dollars and
3:06:45
cents. You know, I don't give a damn
3:06:48
about having an academy
3:06:50
for the best woo to woo to woo.
3:06:52
I just want to make my great heart, make my
3:06:55
money, feed my kids.
3:06:57
That's it.
3:07:00
I don't need y'all to tell me what y'all
3:07:02
think is dope. Hell, y'all are whack.
3:07:05
The accolades don't mean shit if you can't feed your family.
3:07:08
Snooper's mad at the Grammys. They never
3:07:10
gave him a Grammy. I don't
3:07:12
know if Eminem ever got a Grammy. These guys
3:07:14
are mad at the Grammys.
3:07:18
Do we need a hip hop polar
3:07:20
Fan or
3:07:26
hip hop Grammys outright?
3:07:28
Bro?
3:07:29
We need we need it all. Let's
3:07:31
need to own it and control it, monetize
3:07:34
it, you know, and sell out for
3:07:37
us. Right.
3:07:38
We need to get all the youngsters with the money
3:07:41
and say, let's do this thing together. You
3:07:43
know, come in in and sit your ass
3:07:46
down somewhere and let's make some money together.
3:07:48
But let's build together. Let's
3:07:51
let's concentrate on education.
3:07:55
Matter of fact, www dot
3:08:00
doc cares dot
3:08:03
org is my nonprofit.
3:08:07
I've been doing it for about eight months now, building
3:08:11
the structure around this movement.
3:08:15
And I can't get too deep into it, man.
3:08:18
But the thing that I'm
3:08:20
doing at the end of the movie.
3:08:22
Out there in them fields with the cares, and that's
3:08:25
the movement that But it's I told
3:08:27
yod Is, I made the movie.
3:08:31
And run into whatever struggle I am
3:08:33
trying to get it out.
3:08:35
But the stuff that's going on at the
3:08:37
end when Peter Johnson
3:08:40
gives me that speech that's being built
3:08:42
right now.
3:08:43
Oh wow.
3:08:44
So that when the movie and this is
3:08:46
my guess, yodd, so that when that movie
3:08:49
touches down, you're gonna be able to
3:08:51
see that on the screen and then be able
3:08:53
to look at your witness see that shit gone. I saigned,
3:08:56
Wow, And that is a sign of change.
3:08:59
Change has not come. And like Sam Cook
3:09:01
used to sing about it, we here know,
3:09:04
we here that we came
3:09:06
to change this right
3:09:09
here, and we're going to get these young
3:09:11
boys ourselves and instructure.
3:09:14
These young men in a way.
3:09:17
All they wanted some money, Let's go find some money.
3:09:20
Are they wanted some power, Let's delegate
3:09:22
some power. Let's teach these young
3:09:25
men respect. I don't want you to give your
3:09:27
guns back.
3:09:28
And you need you may need them things, you
3:09:30
know, but what you're doing with them
3:09:32
right now is costing you more than you gaining. You
3:09:35
know what I mean. You're not doing nothing with it but playing
3:09:37
video games in real life, and you don't
3:09:39
get to get back up when they pop your ass in
3:09:42
real life. You don't get an.
3:09:43
Extra life and get the bounce back up and do this
3:09:45
sit again, You out of there, you
3:09:48
know, And so I want
3:09:50
these young kids to be there for their sons.
3:09:53
I'm trying to get you right for yours
3:09:55
because why you're dressing him like
3:09:58
you and you're giving them your matter rhythms,
3:10:00
you're really just teaching them.
3:10:02
To be you.
3:10:03
And if you're gonna be dead at thirty three, then
3:10:05
what are you teaching them? You're teaching them be
3:10:08
dead at twenty three? Right,
3:10:11
Gotta think about it, man, think about it, and get
3:10:13
your your head out of your
3:10:15
ass, you know, with all
3:10:17
due respect, and start thinking
3:10:20
about our communities. That's
3:10:22
ours. You don't want
3:10:24
the police coming in there doing
3:10:26
that, then we don't want nobody doing it nobody.
3:10:31
Now, if you get outside this circle, you have at
3:10:33
it right, you know. But you
3:10:37
want to bust somebody in there butt,
3:10:40
go to bed hills and bust them, well,
3:10:42
don't do that in here. And you
3:10:45
have it all day long.
3:10:46
See how long that will last? Henna last too much longer
3:10:48
because they not having that.
3:10:50
So we shouldn't know that. We should be able
3:10:52
to talk to these men, young men and
3:10:54
help.
3:10:55
Them see they power, help
3:10:57
them see what's possible for them,
3:11:00
you know, because it's it's way bigger than some
3:11:03
Jordan's and and some
3:11:05
pussy excuse my language, and.
3:11:07
Holding you know, a thousand
3:11:10
dollars worth of ones to here.
3:11:12
Yeah, I mean like even buying
3:11:15
these big gas change
3:11:19
that's worth three four hundred, five hundred
3:11:21
thousand, winding it to the strip club
3:11:24
on Saturday night. But you
3:11:26
know what I mean, that's the same you
3:11:28
took three of you guys that
3:11:31
same million dollars.
3:11:34
To to quote NISI, it's
3:11:37
a hundred acres m
3:11:41
You're not gonna find a better way to, you
3:11:43
know, to to get
3:11:45
that money straight and reinvest
3:11:48
in it in something like that, because
3:11:51
soon as you wear that chain out somebody wanted
3:11:53
to take it, it's already lost its
3:11:55
value. But the one that you put that that
3:11:57
million dollars into that undred acres, it's
3:12:00
not only it's gonna feed you, it's gonna
3:12:02
feed.
3:12:02
Your kids, kids kids. If
3:12:05
you do the right ship with that land, you
3:12:07
know what I mean, If you the way they doing
3:12:11
our food supply these days, you
3:12:13
got this gold ain't
3:12:16
going out the way. And Bill's Gates, Bill's Bill
3:12:18
Gates. He's a Bill Gates,
3:12:20
Still Gates, Still Gate.
3:12:22
He's buying up all the land they gm
3:12:24
on all of them land
3:12:27
to like, there's a lot of things reasons
3:12:29
why you should buy land and
3:12:31
grown no.
3:12:32
Less, consolidate your power,
3:12:35
your understanding and get out of that
3:12:37
uh NWA mentality,
3:12:41
the n W with our Q get
3:12:43
to go back to the NVAUA with Q menality
3:12:47
when we was trying to figure out how to get them to stop.
3:12:50
Now you didn't pick picked up where they left off,
3:12:52
and you're doing a much better job of killing
3:12:55
us than they are.
3:12:56
Well you know what I mean.
3:12:58
That's just just my humble opinion, man,
3:13:01
But I see, like I said, I think
3:13:03
we passed.
3:13:06
The worst of that, and we in
3:13:08
the stage where we where we're trying.
3:13:09
To figure out how to be better about
3:13:11
it, how
3:13:14
to get these young folks and help
3:13:17
them monetize their art in
3:13:20
a way, and then Dallas some folk worth for
3:13:22
me, give them an avenue where they could go like
3:13:25
when I don't know if you if you
3:13:27
order young enough to know to remember the Fever
3:13:30
and those kind of clubs back then in New York
3:13:32
City, those things don't exist.
3:13:34
Anymore, you know what I mean, They
3:13:37
don't have nowhere to show it.
3:13:38
If you're not if you're not a adult
3:13:42
dealer, you don't have nowhere to go because
3:13:44
they go everywhere because
3:13:46
they backing where they go. But if you just regularly
3:13:49
help our guy or chick, you don't
3:13:51
have those those spaces anymore.
3:13:54
You know.
3:13:54
I'm trying to recreate those avenues
3:13:56
for for just for hip hop in general in
3:13:59
Dallas, for work because they deserve it.
3:14:02
So one of the biggest things about the documentary
3:14:05
was you searching for
3:14:09
get to your voice back right
3:14:12
then it's this operation that's presented you
3:14:16
again without giving everything up. It's
3:14:20
presented to you and they say, well,
3:14:22
how much would this be? He said, Man,
3:14:25
you got to be in their friend. That
3:14:31
was the least your concern.
3:14:33
Now that's that's the one motherfucker I don't mind
3:14:35
ask him for.
3:14:40
But but but me
3:14:43
looking as
3:14:45
a doc I
3:14:48
know, I know he would spend that for you. Oh
3:14:50
yeah, I know that in the heartbeat.
3:14:52
But but now this is probably
3:14:54
serious part
3:14:57
of this whole interview. Is
3:15:00
that something you're gonna pursue. No, Bro, you
3:15:02
don't know like I was.
3:15:04
Like when I started making that movie in
3:15:07
my heart and that I was ready to go.
3:15:09
Let's go, because you kept saying
3:15:11
this one last time. I want this one
3:15:13
last time. Right.
3:15:15
But when they came with the A, I think, you
3:15:18
know, because I don't want to you.
3:15:22
Yeah, but but if
3:15:24
it's possible that
3:15:27
I can actually do it myself and
3:15:29
I and I talked to you on The
3:15:32
guy's name is Peter Bulaski.
3:15:34
I talked to him a couple of days ago, and
3:15:37
he.
3:15:37
Still want to know what we're doing.
3:15:39
You know, that's a surgeon. That's
3:15:42
the white guy that's on the on the on in
3:15:45
the movie.
3:15:45
Yeah, he was gonna come here with me. Okay, Yeah,
3:15:50
I was trying to get him to come here.
3:15:51
I love his honesty, see
3:15:54
you, I love his honest He gave you the real percentage.
3:15:56
Oh yeah, you know. And it it
3:15:58
didn't sound good good it.
3:16:01
It didn't sound good.
3:16:02
No, it didn't sound good.
3:16:03
It didn't sound great. It did sound good. Did
3:16:06
sound it sound good? It didn't sound great.
3:16:08
But there's not.
3:16:09
Always that that possibility.
3:16:12
And to say, you know, you think
3:16:14
about these very beautiful women when
3:16:18
they go out and start getting stuff shot in they
3:16:20
butt like once you get it shot in
3:16:22
there, that's it.
3:16:24
You know, ain't know you can't
3:16:26
suck it? I can or can't you suck it out? I don't know if
3:16:28
you can do that, but once you once
3:16:31
you take that stuff, that's
3:16:33
it.
3:16:34
Well, so I'm very coutious
3:16:38
about and I wanted to
3:16:40
see how if I'm being on the
3:16:42
side, I wanted to see what people's
3:16:44
thoughts.
3:16:45
Were through the film.
3:16:47
Just in general. I did it in the film.
3:16:51
I made it a point to get everybody's
3:16:54
real tak an opinion
3:16:56
on it. And some felt
3:16:59
this way, some felt that way
3:17:02
for this reason and for that reason,
3:17:05
and they was all genuine and serious of
3:17:08
it, you know.
3:17:10
And so I'm still okay
3:17:13
thinking about it.
3:17:14
But I'll
3:17:20
say this that that that doing that documentary
3:17:23
for me was a cathartic
3:17:25
experience. It helped me get
3:17:28
past a lot of shit, even
3:17:33
doing the documentary in the first place. Folks
3:17:36
have been trying to get me to do this stuff for a long
3:17:38
time and
3:17:42
I just couldn't see it. But
3:17:45
it was let me see twenty twenty.
3:17:47
I met Peter.
3:17:48
Johnson in twenty
3:17:50
nineteen. He
3:17:53
took me to the sixty second anniversary
3:17:56
of the Little Rock nine in
3:17:58
Arkansas. I went and met
3:18:00
those people right, sat
3:18:03
and had dinner with them, and they told many
3:18:05
stories, and that shit opened up something.
3:18:10
And when I got back to my crib. It
3:18:12
felt I had like a revelation
3:18:15
moment. Jo D showed up in
3:18:17
my in my front yard and
3:18:19
said, you can let that that pain
3:18:22
that you've been holding all this time, you
3:18:24
can let it go.
3:18:26
You you didn't do that. I did that.
3:18:29
I did that for a purpose, and you're about
3:18:31
to walk in that purpose. Jo
3:18:33
D showed up and said.
3:18:35
This to me. And I've been doing
3:18:37
this ever since.
3:18:39
Then of a suddenly it's been.
3:18:40
A slow walk back up
3:18:42
the hill.
3:18:43
But I went and found my own bread, went
3:18:46
and found the own director, went and
3:18:48
found the producers. Wrote to motherfucker,
3:18:50
myself had to stay on these
3:18:53
these these
3:18:56
white folks like a like a slave
3:18:59
master.
3:19:00
No pun.
3:19:00
Intended to make sure that this
3:19:03
story is told the way it needs to
3:19:05
be told. And it
3:19:07
turned out. You know, I'm
3:19:10
so proud of it is that no one could do it better
3:19:13
of hip hop documentaries.
3:19:15
And is that the name of it? What's the name of
3:19:17
it?
3:19:18
The doctor?
3:19:19
Yeah, the doctor. We
3:19:25
gotta flight. I
3:19:28
just I just want to like, I just want to focus
3:19:30
on the dock because I'm
3:19:34
a documentary guy. I love documentary
3:19:37
me too. So when I sat
3:19:39
there and
3:19:42
all the footage you got from your mom's,
3:19:44
your family to everyone just
3:19:46
chiming in. It was just like,
3:19:49
this was extraordinary, bro, when.
3:19:51
It come on, When it first come on, and
3:19:54
then the gangster music start
3:19:56
playing.
3:19:57
And you see that action that's going on, and
3:20:00
then you jumped right from that to the doctor's
3:20:02
chair.
3:20:02
Yes, and not see all of that ship. Yes it
3:20:05
lock you in, bro, And the next
3:20:07
thing you see is me and Dre.
3:20:10
Immediately immediately you see
3:20:13
the doctor saying, it's
3:20:16
funny as hell. I'm sorry. That's just for the people
3:20:18
that they're like giving him like vocal
3:20:22
and the doctor is just a funny guy.
3:20:25
The doctor is just sitting there, he's like the
3:20:28
doctors like you
3:20:31
with the doc he was like and it's
3:20:33
hilarious. But then boom
3:20:36
straight into the fucking studio with
3:20:38
Dre and you're sitting there
3:20:40
and now you know, I don't know how
3:20:42
to pronounce words.
3:20:44
Come camaraderie.
3:20:47
Yeah, that camaroppery,
3:20:49
the camaraderie with you and Dre
3:20:52
and you sitting there and you
3:20:55
joking on him. He's joking on
3:20:57
you back, y'all just
3:20:59
talking. It's just like that
3:21:02
to me is friendship, Yeah, relationship.
3:21:04
To me, it's like, you
3:21:06
know, I
3:21:08
wish Sonny is there like me and
3:21:10
Sonny, he's my friend. I
3:21:13
met him through herefn right here. But
3:21:15
I could always joke on Sonny in
3:21:20
the worst way, and he knows
3:21:22
I don't mean it in the worst and
3:21:25
I don't meet him right there, and I don't mean it in the
3:21:27
worst way. And it was
3:21:29
the same thing that I saw with you
3:21:31
and Dre, Like as soon as the ship
3:21:33
started, he goes, hey, man, this
3:21:38
is my friend. He'd been sucking up for a long time. That
3:21:41
means you guys have been through the ringer. Oh yeah, that's
3:21:44
all that means is y'all been there on that he's
3:21:47
got.
3:21:48
He can say that.
3:21:52
Because he knows, you
3:21:54
know, if you push the wrong button, it's gonna be a
3:21:56
problem. But I
3:21:59
know that you saying that for love and
3:22:02
for a fact, And that's why
3:22:05
I gave him there. When I came in
3:22:07
from this side, that was me helping
3:22:09
this joke out and
3:22:12
it played well. I mean, so we know each
3:22:14
other. I know the tred is great
3:22:17
at what he do, and my my thro
3:22:20
my purpose is to help people.
3:22:21
So I always love that.
3:22:23
I love that's what I do.
3:22:24
BRO all good at that, But there's not
3:22:27
too many people in life just like that. That's
3:22:29
why it makes you special. But I
3:22:31
want to get to this story of you
3:22:33
jumping in a limo.
3:22:36
With the gang matters in the back.
3:22:40
And you just took the limo.
3:22:44
And and look so this
3:22:46
was uh we
3:22:49
was, and it's in the movie. This
3:22:53
is when future shot
3:22:55
had turned to death Row and
3:22:57
it's that party.
3:22:58
Yeah, that's great. I never you about future
3:23:00
shock at all. Future shock that was pre
3:23:03
didn't know that that wasn't widely Yeah
3:23:05
it wasn't.
3:23:06
They don't. They're not undersay, Bro, they
3:23:08
don't tell the history is
3:23:10
written.
3:23:11
But that's that's the craziest.
3:23:13
But it ain't.
3:23:14
That's history is not the truth.
3:23:15
His story.
3:23:16
His story is written by the victors.
3:23:18
That's right.
3:23:19
So they're giving you their narrative of
3:23:22
what of what happens true. That's
3:23:24
why Christopher Columbus discovered America.
3:23:26
Right.
3:23:27
But when you watch the documentary, what you get
3:23:29
is the real, unadulterated
3:23:33
truth. And you can tell
3:23:36
that that's what you're getting and it's
3:23:38
not coming from me, It's coming from
3:23:40
them.
3:23:41
Right, you know what I mean? And so uh
3:23:43
huh.
3:23:48
One of the the.
3:23:51
The blessings is
3:23:53
to be able to just be able to know that
3:23:57
you know that that's real coming from
3:24:00
them. No, he said, he's never seen
3:24:02
Drake.
3:24:02
Smile like that.
3:24:04
And you can generally see that dras
3:24:07
happy and shit like he's always
3:24:09
guarded when you
3:24:11
get on camera, and people
3:24:14
at that level, you know, they got to.
3:24:16
Watch their mouths and watch they're
3:24:18
guarded. But dres and that, you know,
3:24:20
he's just happy to be there. You know
3:24:23
the same thing with him and
3:24:25
you, You and
3:24:27
the dog and ship
3:24:29
everybody.
3:24:30
And everybody's just happy. They're happy
3:24:32
to lend their time to a
3:24:35
legend, and that resonates.
3:24:38
I'm telling you, whoever sees this documentary,
3:24:42
it's gonna be like wow, because
3:24:49
people sincerely the same way
3:24:51
you want to see everybody win. I
3:24:56
want to see you motherfucking win. I'm
3:25:02
being honest.
3:25:03
I was talking here.
3:25:03
Uh they was talking about it and they
3:25:06
slipping in my mind. Uh
3:25:11
ah that shit, that shit lost my mom. But
3:25:14
it's something about, uh,
3:25:17
the way this game does us that
3:25:23
that's somebody in my space.
3:25:25
Or somebody was saying that.
3:25:29
There's a lot of folks prayed, but
3:25:32
that's why I'm still here.
3:25:34
R Like when that reg happened,
3:25:36
it was so many people crying and praying
3:25:39
that that's the reason I'm still here.
3:25:41
So they was calling God on speed.
3:25:43
Died like, man, help my guy, yep,
3:25:46
and he said, you know what I mean, And I've heard
3:25:48
that so.
3:25:48
Many times over over
3:25:50
my life that I know that
3:25:53
it's folks that are that want this win
3:25:55
from me better than I want it
3:25:57
for myself. But and so that's why
3:25:59
I'm gonna walk in it when
3:26:01
g O. D Decides to give it to me with
3:26:04
grace, because it's because.
3:26:07
They prayed that hard that he says,
3:26:10
I'm gonna give it to him this way, and
3:26:13
I'm gonna be the man if they want that,
3:26:16
they need me to be the respect that gift when
3:26:18
it comes, you know, and
3:26:21
shine like a mother.
3:26:22
You can believe that or you're doing
3:26:24
it. I'm gonna use the bathroom
3:26:27
real crazy too. Then there
3:26:29
I got one more question and that's it. But ho
3:26:31
yo yo, Like I
3:26:33
told you, man, I watched the documentary
3:26:36
this is it was so entertaining
3:26:39
too me. But it's
3:26:41
one part of the documentary that I want to ask you.
3:26:43
And Dre says he does
3:26:46
not regret a lot of
3:26:48
things in life, but one of the
3:26:50
things that he regretted in life was
3:26:53
when you came over the house and
3:26:56
he wished he would have told you to stay at the
3:26:58
house before the accident.
3:27:01
Before the accident.
3:27:02
Yeah, it was that morning. Uh,
3:27:09
I had been shooting. This was before
3:27:12
the sex compade,
3:27:14
because.
3:27:15
You came to the video six hours Yeah,
3:27:18
I was six.
3:27:18
Hours late because I was hanging out with shooting. You
3:27:22
know what man doing again And
3:27:26
I'm six hours late to the formula. To
3:27:29
the formula.
3:27:30
They're making the best wrap up they
3:27:32
are And if you look at fifty cents
3:27:35
in the club, that's kind of like the same video.
3:27:38
That's the formula that I
3:27:42
know what I know, shout
3:27:45
shout out the fifth Fifth,
3:27:47
my guy.
3:27:49
He's always so respectful
3:27:55
and give me queens
3:27:57
even queens call Fifth and said you
3:28:00
to show up from a video? He said,
3:28:02
tell me where you know what I mean. Uh,
3:28:06
it was just scheduling. But God
3:28:09
had asked for.
3:28:11
Very few people, the people that I respect.
3:28:13
That that that was that was gonna mean something to
3:28:15
the story for me. But
3:28:21
tremendous love and respect
3:28:23
for filth because what
3:28:26
what what what.
3:28:27
You get is the it's
3:28:30
the outside version of the street
3:28:32
version.
3:28:34
I remember, there's the thing I keep
3:28:36
seeing over and over again on the web of y'all always
3:28:39
together somewhere.
3:28:40
It's right, it's just the first
3:28:45
but that freestyle, that freestyle is legendary,
3:28:47
and that freestyle orco legendary continue.
3:28:50
So from that, from
3:28:52
that, POV, the dude has always
3:28:55
been that guy, you know. And so
3:28:58
when he came to l A and and
3:29:00
connected with Dre Man's and
3:29:02
that in the club beat, mm hmm,
3:29:07
you know it's it was pretty much overweight.
3:29:09
But Lorie,
3:29:12
yeah, yeah, man,
3:29:15
I don't know how many of these things.
3:29:16
No, please come on, give me one. But
3:29:18
I brought these shirts because let me finish
3:29:21
the question, because
3:29:23
when Dre said, let me give us the
3:29:25
shirt I'm taking. Is there
3:29:27
any regret that you have that
3:29:30
because Dra said that that one regret
3:29:32
that he have is he didn't. He didn't
3:29:34
he didn't want you to leave the house that day. He
3:29:37
wants he wished to keep you. There.
3:29:42
Is there any regret that you have that you could take back
3:29:44
anything in this whole thing?
3:29:46
People asked me that that a lot M
3:29:50
and man, I love
3:29:53
me, m M, the day, I
3:29:57
love my kids.
3:29:58
I'm taking the both and you don't
3:30:00
you know your thought.
3:30:01
Changed any of that. I
3:30:05
don't have my kids.
3:30:06
If you change any of that, any of
3:30:08
that trajectory, I'm not who
3:30:11
I am today.
3:30:12
And so what I learned from that
3:30:14
twenty seven years was to
3:30:19
learn in your own personal life where
3:30:24
you are.
3:30:25
Most folks solve
3:30:28
my path as destruction.
3:30:34
But there's a difference between destruction
3:30:36
and construction. When
3:30:38
you see a building implode like the nine
3:30:41
one one not a level
3:30:43
head. It took five, ten,
3:30:45
fifteen seconds for them things to be out
3:30:48
of there. If they were to building things back,
3:30:50
it would take years for
3:30:52
those things.
3:30:53
So destruction is like this.
3:30:56
Construction takes a while.
3:31:00
And I had when I had that accident,
3:31:02
My moment of destruction
3:31:05
was instantaneous.
3:31:07
But had I known that,
3:31:10
every day after that, I was in construction
3:31:12
mode getting here, I
3:31:15
could have.
3:31:15
Had a better time at
3:31:18
it, you know what I mean. But who
3:31:22
I am today, I got a lot of respect
3:31:24
for that dude.
3:31:25
Man, I got a lot of respect for that guy because
3:31:28
he's a stand up guy. Not too
3:31:30
many of the motherfuckers exist. I'm
3:31:32
not a thug nigga, but I don't have no
3:31:34
fear of thug niggas. I'm
3:31:36
just a good nigga.
3:31:39
That it
3:31:42
is the very nast.
3:31:43
It's not even a question. It's not
3:31:45
even a question, it's a statement. Do you remember
3:31:48
me? You Corruptiz
3:31:51
believe in Nick Dog?
3:31:52
Yeah.
3:31:53
I came hung out with me in the Bronx. And
3:31:55
then, well I did not know. I
3:31:58
did not know New York City was
3:32:00
starting to become like gang banging,
3:32:02
right, So a dude drove
3:32:05
through. I remember, a crypt killer
3:32:08
I had never seen. They lost
3:32:11
a fucking dask
3:32:16
gave him a mac t and I was like, you don't know, but
3:32:18
because the guy was just driving through, and
3:32:21
and like, you know New York at
3:32:23
the time, we were right,
3:32:26
I don't know we were We
3:32:29
were fucking I gotta
3:32:31
say we, even though I wasn't.
3:32:36
And and then we chilled.
3:32:38
What was we at?
3:32:39
We was in the Bronx, he was in the Bronx.
3:32:41
With see the baseball stadium.
3:32:44
Right there, And then we was right
3:32:47
there at that corner store. That's when the guy came
3:32:49
CA that's crazy.
3:32:51
Yes.
3:32:52
And but by the way, I was like, oh, because
3:32:55
I didn't understand the series
3:33:00
biness of what had just
3:33:02
happened. And the guy I knew. His
3:33:05
name is O. G. Mack. He's a great guy.
3:33:08
He did this every day he
3:33:11
didn't know there was no actual
3:33:14
crips. He was gonna be on the block. He was
3:33:16
doing that. He was just doing like
3:33:18
that. That was just what it was at the time. I'm
3:33:20
sorry. And I remember
3:33:23
we leaving there and then I brung everybody into
3:33:25
my crib. You remember you came to my crib. You
3:33:27
came to my actual real house, and
3:33:29
I invited to everyone. We had a barbecue
3:33:32
each other and I
3:33:34
was.
3:33:34
Apologized because that
3:33:36
was a bad company. I
3:33:39
was not the one that bend you
3:33:41
wanted to.
3:33:42
Mac was like, give me the gun. I was like, with a minute, d
3:33:45
c bro, Like,
3:33:48
but but yeah,
3:33:52
I'm gonna be honest, thank
3:33:54
y'all, man, you know, because
3:33:58
what I
3:34:01
knew there's no such
3:34:03
thing as
3:34:06
a as A didn't who
3:34:11
you are in LA and
3:34:14
who we were in New York the
3:34:16
same fun that's right, bro, And like it
3:34:19
was just it was you
3:34:22
said it earlier. I felt like it really
3:34:24
was. The magazine kind
3:34:26
of like told us that we were different.
3:34:30
Like even if you look at the
3:34:32
Source of Wars and you look at that ship,
3:34:36
even okay, Source Awars was
3:34:38
a magazine company, you
3:34:41
know what I mean. But I
3:34:44
felt love my first time
3:34:46
going to la I felt, I felt
3:34:50
they funcked with me. I
3:34:52
felt I fucked with them.
3:34:54
But then when I read yes,
3:35:00
hip hop was everybody loved it. If you loved
3:35:02
hip hop, you was loving it from wherever you were at. If
3:35:05
you was dope over in Chicago, you was dope in Atlanta,
3:35:07
la Is wherever the fuck. If you was
3:35:10
into it, you was into it man. And the media started
3:35:12
to say, now, well, you know what, there's this region,
3:35:14
there's this region, is this region, and y'alln'.
3:35:16
Get along with this guy. Y'all don't get along with this guy's.
3:35:19
Marketing and promotion media
3:35:22
UH focused
3:35:26
bs BS is what
3:35:29
drives this country.
3:35:32
And I used this analogy
3:35:35
when I try to talk to folks about it, how
3:35:39
the system uses UH
3:35:43
marketing and promotion to lean
3:35:46
on motherfuckers.
3:35:49
You can see what
3:35:52
America, and
3:35:54
I'll saying this to you guys earlier. You
3:35:57
can see what America.
3:35:59
Did to us, right, the
3:36:01
black and the browns of
3:36:03
us that are in this space. You
3:36:06
can see our bruises and our weapons. You
3:36:08
can see our communities tore
3:36:11
up and struggle. You can't see what
3:36:14
America did to them white folks, but their
3:36:16
pain is there too, and it's killing
3:36:18
them right now because they can't
3:36:21
face it.
3:36:21
They've even and
3:36:24
it is destroying.
3:36:25
They are beginning to eat themselves from the
3:36:27
inside. Imagine being that
3:36:30
seven year old young person
3:36:32
that your mother and father took you to
3:36:34
the Big Neck where they were hanging negroes
3:36:38
and cutting their bodies off and eating
3:36:40
them.
3:36:41
Imagine being that kid who's a
3:36:43
grown grown up person now living
3:36:46
with this in there. What that's
3:36:49
doing to you on inside? You know, I mean, you can't
3:36:51
say it's wrong, blah blah blah. It's
3:36:54
a whole lot of them folks out there that's dying
3:36:56
on inside, right, you know. And so what
3:37:01
what embracing the
3:37:04
spiritual aspect
3:37:06
of my life now made me understand.
3:37:09
Is we are all in
3:37:12
this movie together.
3:37:14
And Shod don't have step kids, right
3:37:16
because he just as kids, but we all
3:37:19
have roles to play in his movie.
3:37:22
He's the great writer of this movie.
3:37:25
And so just like Ethan
3:37:27
Hawker.
3:37:28
And then said in Training Day,
3:37:31
in that movie they trying to kill each other at
3:37:34
the Academy Awards, they stand on
3:37:36
the on the stage and the hug and their
3:37:39
friends because they realize that's
3:37:41
the roles that they're playing in the
3:37:43
movie scripts for them, and
3:37:46
so just like us as human beings,
3:37:49
when we reach that stage, when
3:37:51
we finally get to that stage, we're gonna
3:37:53
be able to kick it together because we would
3:37:55
have played our part in this movie, hopefully
3:37:58
to the best of our ability. When
3:38:00
we get to that stage, that grace,
3:38:02
if we understand we did our part, we can
3:38:04
get our Academy award.
3:38:05
And kick it well.
3:38:07
DC, let me just tell you something.
3:38:11
Yeah, that's
3:38:14
that's the only academy h I used
3:38:16
to really be into that shit.
3:38:19
I got one.
3:38:19
I can't wait to stay on the stage and think
3:38:22
that d D. It doesn't mean as much
3:38:24
to me anymore because when
3:38:27
you see through the veil and
3:38:30
you understand what
3:38:33
it's really about, what what what it
3:38:35
really means, and how all
3:38:37
of this depth, destruction,
3:38:40
devradation can exist in
3:38:42
this space and nobody say nothing
3:38:46
until one day something
3:38:48
happens and now everything
3:38:51
pops out. Now everybody got something to say
3:38:53
about it. You've been holding onto.
3:38:55
That doll for thirty years.
3:38:57
Now you want a cookie because
3:38:59
you got all these secrets you want to spell.
3:39:02
There's no intivity in that, right, you
3:39:04
know now? Yet now I feel like.
3:39:06
You're trying to capitalize
3:39:08
on stuff on that person's pain, and
3:39:10
the best way you can do it. If if
3:39:13
you were trying to be this altruistic
3:39:15
person, you had plenty of time to do that. You
3:39:18
know, if you was trying to get get your rocks
3:39:20
off and do the right thing and be the right you had
3:39:22
plenty of time to do that. Never kick
3:39:25
him on fucker when he's downright, because you never
3:39:27
know when you're gonna be down there.
3:39:28
Right, and everybody's gonna have the opportunity to be down
3:39:30
that's right, every single person.
3:39:32
We all get those chances. And I
3:39:34
never was the one thing I was
3:39:36
saying earlier about my movie.
3:39:38
I never said one single negative
3:39:40
thing about any person. It's
3:39:43
like that ride. I took all
3:39:45
of this on me because it was my It's
3:39:48
Mara, you get you niggas get no.
3:39:51
Even when you said you said something about Sugar,
3:39:53
you said, I'm going to the bad to say about Sugar.
3:39:55
He took my credit and he took my money, and you still
3:39:57
didn't say nothing bad about him. He was like, but
3:40:00
uh, that's my fault. You, that's right, said, cause
3:40:02
you you have to have your business
3:40:04
together. And I thought that was remarkable
3:40:07
for you to even state something
3:40:09
like that.
3:40:09
Bro, you gotta learn I'm not the first
3:40:11
one. I won't be the last one, you
3:40:14
know. I'm just the one that's gonna tell
3:40:16
it. I'm gonna tell it from my perspective
3:40:19
so that the new one's coming up. No, it's
3:40:21
not your you can you
3:40:24
can't put you have to protect you. The
3:40:27
machine is gonna always be the machine,
3:40:30
cause that's what it was made to be. It
3:40:32
was not designed and built to
3:40:34
feed you. It was a little sign
3:40:37
and built to steal from you, right,
3:40:39
And it's great at it and
3:40:41
it's going to continue.
3:40:42
To be great at it.
3:40:44
So you have to, uh
3:40:46
educate yourself on your power, educate
3:40:49
yourself on your worth. And
3:40:52
when you make something that's beautiful, you
3:40:54
don't let these motherfuckers tell you it's
3:40:57
worth this because the.
3:40:58
Market said this. Man, damn the market,
3:41:02
and the market can kiss my ass. I don't get
3:41:04
back, you
3:41:06
know what I'm saying about. Now, you're gonna give
3:41:08
me what I think my art
3:41:11
is worth and then we can talk business.
3:41:13
That's man. I don't blame you for
3:41:16
being you. You're not.
3:41:17
Don't blame me for being me. You know
3:41:20
you can't blackball me because I
3:41:22
know the real boss. You know,
3:41:24
it's a g O D that ain't known. Let me pray on your
3:41:27
one fucking hand.
3:41:27
So that's
3:41:30
your g Is
3:41:32
this documentary leading to a book
3:41:34
and the book leading to the full
3:41:37
fledged feature film? Oh yeah, because
3:41:39
I ain't gonna lie. Look, I told you earlier. I said
3:41:41
that, I mentioned it earlier. I was
3:41:43
like, after Washing the NBA movie,
3:41:46
I was like, where does it take it from
3:41:48
there? But then Washington documentary, I was
3:41:50
like, wait a minute, you ain't.
3:41:51
Got when you watch it and I say
3:41:53
this humble out
3:42:00
of content. The movie is not fucking with this thing
3:42:03
because.
3:42:03
It's the story, bro, the true story.
3:42:06
Yeah, it's the story. It's wonderful
3:42:08
that comes.
3:42:08
It's a movie. It's a movie that
3:42:10
is is extracting to gor
3:42:13
dumb facts.
3:42:14
The guys.
3:42:14
I love that movie. I love trailer.
3:42:16
It's a great movie. But it's a movie. Yours is a documentary.
3:42:18
You co signed the movie, right, Yeah?
3:42:21
The movie.
3:42:22
Yeah, that's a movie. As a Hollywood
3:42:24
movie.
3:42:25
I went to the movie and did mushrooms
3:42:27
in the movie, and I thought I.
3:42:33
Thought it.
3:42:34
I thought it was great. The
3:42:37
last five minutes when that ship started
3:42:39
to kick in, I was like.
3:42:41
Oh, no, no, but that's your real that But
3:42:45
there's only five people in the world who could
3:42:47
probably relate to those last five minutes of
3:42:49
that movie, which you didn't like, but probably
3:42:52
what we love is probably like
3:42:55
to get this inside information. It's ship
3:42:57
that you probably knew.
3:42:59
No, I'm talking about them. I show kick.
3:43:04
Because the show the screen got big, moving.
3:43:07
And ship down
3:43:09
on the floor.
3:43:10
Man.
3:43:11
My wife was like, man, Kit show as you
3:43:14
don't show anymore.
3:43:15
No, I smoke wig,
3:43:18
you know, but I try to stay far
3:43:20
enough away from something that's gonna
3:43:22
lead somewhere because it ain't
3:43:25
gonna it would bro.
3:43:28
That monkey get out the bag. Man, it's
3:43:30
he's a cold motor scooter because
3:43:36
yeah, I let him have it, you know.
3:43:39
But I enjoyed the movement. Took
3:43:41
my wife to say it, uh,
3:43:43
and we enjoyed it. When
3:43:47
I get the opportunity to do mine, i'd
3:43:50
rather be a series.
3:43:53
Because you almost did it in the documentary.
3:43:55
It's like it's like reenactments in the documentary.
3:43:58
That's right, And there's a lot of stuff
3:44:00
that I shot that I couldn't use. Really,
3:44:02
story is too big, it's too meaty.
3:44:04
You only get an hour and a half. I never
3:44:07
talked about Atlanta.
3:44:08
Remember when I told you about having
3:44:10
the rap packing the little Chad, I
3:44:12
didn't talk about any of that and have time,
3:44:16
you know, I can remember.
3:44:17
Being in.
3:44:19
Dy y'all called yourself a rap pack for real,
3:44:21
Like.
3:44:22
I'm just used that terminology
3:44:24
because everybody was kind of stars
3:44:27
all that.
3:44:28
Like like the old rat pack. Those correct, right,
3:44:31
you see.
3:44:32
Chad, you see pimps and scarface
3:44:35
and too short and breed and box.
3:44:37
Because when you said chat, you're talking about yeah
3:44:39
right there.
3:44:41
And man, we was riding. We was around that motherfucker
3:44:43
kicking it.
3:44:44
That must have been crazy. I
3:44:47
stole the cameras following your
3:44:49
deal.
3:44:50
So I had some money. Come on. You
3:44:52
couldn't tell me nothing, but
3:44:57
those were some of the best times, just
3:45:00
your good.
3:45:04
Not that.
3:45:07
It was it was you know, it was in god
3:45:09
Rest.
3:45:10
Uh hm. We
3:45:15
we lost a lot of great men
3:45:19
two bullshit.
3:45:24
So now.
3:45:26
We want to save as many as we can. Bro
3:45:29
We the gangster ship is
3:45:32
about saving us.
3:45:33
That's the most gangster.
3:45:34
Thing because it's odds
3:45:37
glory, come on in, because
3:45:40
I don't think being uh
3:45:44
somebody that that loves and respects
3:45:46
their spirituality, it's soft.
3:45:50
Go back to uh.
3:45:53
Samson or Moses
3:45:55
or David. You know all of
3:45:57
those was real niggas that did
3:46:00
real nigga said, you know.
3:46:02
Jesus is real. He was coming niggas up for
3:46:04
selling fake bibles. Come on, that world up.
3:46:06
He was starting niggas out for some
3:46:09
of the fake bibles. There bibles. If he
3:46:11
was selling fake bibles, Jesus came through
3:46:13
with a hoodie on. That's a lie. Oh
3:46:15
sir, No, man, there
3:46:17
was no Bible. But yeah, the
3:46:20
Bible came after you read the Bible. Come
3:46:23
on, you definitely never read the Bible. I read
3:46:25
the Bible. Was in jail. Everybody
3:46:29
beat the Bible Testament.
3:46:31
He was beating them up for the Old Testament.
3:46:33
That's the really I heard. When
3:46:36
you get in there, and that you get that.
3:46:37
Timebody become religious
3:46:41
in jail for some reason.
3:46:42
He already said.
3:46:46
Everything is divine because
3:46:48
one day in your life you
3:46:51
might have a moment when you say when you talk
3:46:53
to him, you said, God, if you get me
3:46:55
out of this ship, we all do
3:46:57
it.
3:46:58
And I said to him, you, I asked several
3:47:00
of those.
3:47:01
Yeah, I might have had seventeen
3:47:04
thousand, man, those.
3:47:06
Yo did if I can get down from this side
3:47:08
I never climbed back up here no more.
3:47:13
And that's real life, man, no matter what yours
3:47:16
is. You know what I mean, whether
3:47:20
it's.
3:47:20
Bydism okay, Jesus
3:47:22
Per cam Ry, Okay, you know we
3:47:26
did say do you have on the
3:47:28
instance if I do pussy?
3:47:31
Oh my goodness, crazy, I want
3:47:33
to go there, I got, I got those
3:47:36
all over there. You
3:47:45
know what's crazy? I feel
3:47:47
like the more I drink, he's drunker for
3:47:53
the more I dream.
3:47:55
Now, that's what I say. That would love and respect.
3:47:57
That's absolutely because my
3:48:00
wife knows. She
3:48:03
was what's that called a.
3:48:07
Dude. My dude delivered my my
3:48:09
child.
3:48:10
Wow, yeah, that
3:48:12
gangster.
3:48:13
My my first wife delivered.
3:48:16
So she had to be there through the whole process, even
3:48:18
before the child was born. Like so,
3:48:21
and that's we're talking about like a like an artist.
3:48:23
What is that librity that's doing that?
3:48:25
Your child delivered in a jazi Like, no,
3:48:27
this is.
3:48:28
Well it doesn't always mean that, but yeah it
3:48:30
was it was in our case. Yeah,
3:48:33
my son was born that way as well.
3:48:35
Now we was, we was doing it.
3:48:40
I do say she wanted to deliver, that's
3:48:42
crazy.
3:48:43
And my wife was like, okay,
3:48:45
I want I think I can do a natural
3:48:47
birth.
3:48:47
I was like, okay, that's
3:48:50

3:48:54
Yeah, my wife and that man with both my kids.
3:48:56
No, my my second, my second, my
3:48:59
mam most feral, not
3:49:01
monster she was. She didn't drink
3:49:03
any monster.
3:49:04
No.
3:49:05
Ay, we were have supported.
3:49:07
My wife was in the last moment
3:49:09
that she was.
3:49:12
Bouncing on this little bottle when she thought she had
3:49:15
made a mistake, you know, like she's
3:49:17
like, I don't think I could do it. But
3:49:20
I was like, nigga, youah man, I'm
3:49:22
squeezing out here. No, you're finna do this ship you
3:49:24
know?
3:49:26
Is her first?
3:49:27
Is it her first child? That was the second one,
3:49:29
because they said the second one is easier. We
3:49:31
tried to do it the first and my wife couldn't
3:49:33
do it.
3:49:34
No, my this was our second. The
3:49:37
first one she got shot and.
3:49:39
I guess she thought she got what she
3:49:41
got the yeah, but my wife tried
3:49:43
to do it and then and my daughter
3:49:45
was she wasn't coming out, so they had to take
3:49:47
her to the hospital.
3:49:48
They had to give her that pdurable.
3:49:49
Yeah. No, the first one she took the
3:49:52
shot, but the second one, I.
3:49:54
Guess the Erica talked to him
3:49:56
gave her the battle.
3:49:57
Yeah, somebody was so said
3:50:00
I'm gonna do that's okay.
3:50:02
No, but.
3:50:06
You she stopped him and said, I
3:50:08
don't think I can do it. And when we
3:50:10
didn't came this far, nigga, you're finna do this like
3:50:13
we we ain't finna. We ain't having
3:50:15
no mishaps. You're finna get my sons to this
3:50:17
motherfucker right now.
3:50:19
And we and
3:50:23
it was about two seconds after that that little
3:50:25
dude just he just.
3:50:27
Dove out of that mama in the water in
3:50:30
the water.
3:50:31
No, she had got out.
3:50:33
Oh shit, oh god, she.
3:50:35
Out because it wasn't happening. She
3:50:37
thought we was gonna have to rush rushed
3:50:40
to the to the hospital because it hadn't happened.
3:50:43
And half time, we ain't got time
3:50:45
to be doing no rusting. You're finna, We're
3:50:47
finna do this. And I'm right here with her,
3:50:49
you know what I mean, Like I'm not letting you go.
3:50:51
We're finna do this.
3:50:52
And it took about another couple of minutes
3:50:55
and she she leaned over and crawled
3:50:58
onto the bed and like
3:51:00
in a doggie styling, dude just came
3:51:03
up out of there, and by dude called him.
3:51:07
I got all that shot take.
3:51:15
Because you like the incense at that time. Then
3:51:19
we didn't have no PU that day. That
3:51:23
would have been I
3:51:27
mean, he said, but bro,
3:51:29
I don't look.
3:51:30
Let me tell you something I do. It is a master.
3:51:34
Marketer.
3:51:36
She's a great business person. Nothing
3:51:39
that she does is by happenstance. And
3:51:42
folks, when they get off into that ship, you probably
3:51:44
making that day of.
3:51:45
Course, man. And so I'm a player, play
3:51:47
along and give up. I'm gonna
3:51:50
always do this because most people
3:51:52
that know me and love me know I'm
3:51:54
gonna be you know, we just don't
3:51:56
push the wrong button because then it's
3:51:58
all fucked up with just why I don't She
3:52:00
was not the ass folks or anything, because
3:52:04
I don't want you to push that wrong button. And
3:52:07
I have to feel a certain kind of way about you.
3:52:09
She is sagittarius, she's a pis okay,
3:52:13
but that was another part of the documentary that made
3:52:15
me tear
3:52:18
up was when y'are
3:52:21
sitting down y'all talking and she
3:52:23
says, I hear you.
3:52:24
Yeah, that was cold.
3:52:26
She said, I hear you, bro, I hear you. Oh,
3:52:28
I hear you that.
3:52:31
Look. All of this documentary was
3:52:34
just moments being
3:52:36
shy, so it's real. And
3:52:40
when she said that, Nigga, I'm
3:52:43
my back to the thing.
3:52:44
Remember, I'm like, oh,
3:52:47
I'm like, by the way, I'm cursing you out. By the
3:52:49
way, I'm like, I can't wait to see this. Mother fuckers
3:52:52
got me tearing up crazy. And
3:52:56
when she said that she was and then she missed your
3:52:58
daughter and she said she hears you,
3:53:01
and then I was just like damn. Then after
3:53:03
that, I can't give you no more? Yeah,
3:53:06
bro, what Dray says?
3:53:08
After that?
3:53:08
After that, I can't give you no
3:53:10
more. But that ship was just like, oh,
3:53:13
your support system is real.
3:53:15
Yeah, Like like they like,
3:53:20
I want to and let let
3:53:22
me involve us because
3:53:24
we're a part of your support system too, right.
3:53:28
We love your motherfucking assn't
3:53:31
want you to because
3:53:36
I watched it, even though I watched it without you,
3:53:39
and I know how much of
3:53:41
a l a fucking West
3:53:43
Coast fan you all come
3:53:46
from. You're like that much
3:53:49
more than me, right, But
3:53:51
I watched it with you in mind, and
3:53:56
I was like, man, I can't, I
3:53:58
can't. I couldn't wait to get your flowers.
3:54:01
We couldn't wait because it's
3:54:06
something that Snoop said again in
3:54:08
the documentary that Snoop
3:54:10
said, because the
3:54:12
deoc ain't having that ship, except
3:54:16
he's like, he's like, what we
3:54:18
knew on this ship
3:54:21
was done wrong. The d oc ain't being
3:54:23
quiet. And
3:54:26
I love that. I love. I
3:54:30
love your peers or
3:54:34
people that may be younger than you and
3:54:37
something that's older. Don't
3:54:40
mind giving you your motherfucking flowers.
3:54:43
And just so you know.
3:54:46
We are aren't it to
3:54:49
give you your mother's
3:54:54
play. And I know you gotta go so so we're
3:54:58
gonna take a couple of flicks and get
3:55:00
you to sign a couple of things. Because listen,
3:55:02
let me just tell you something. This nigga got your here.
3:55:05
That's the original.
3:55:07
I bought these when I was a little kiss,
3:55:09
got these when I got my turntable.
3:55:11
He ain't even have pubics.
3:55:14
That's actually facts.
3:55:16
With what else
3:55:18
that's a little bit too much information. But I
3:55:24
love and respect you gentlemen so much
3:55:28
beyond the
3:55:30
moniker of hip hop as men. That's
3:55:34
about this business, that's about this culture.
3:55:36
I think that's strong and powerful man
3:55:39
in their own right. I watched
3:55:41
Shrik drink Champs religiously.
3:55:43
