0:46

E. What Up? It's DJ e f N and this is Drink

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

That's what Magic's office is,

1:11:06

And he rode

1:11:11

1:11:13

I went to I was doing a video for

1:11:15

1:11:27

Title from Dre and

1:11:29

1:12:19

Then I said sin to you years

1:12:27

don't have any reference for him.

1:12:30

But I got h got

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

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

1:15:59

We go to those

1:16:28

guys, really, man, those Long

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

it.

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

1:17:04

1:17:06

1:17:07

1:17:18

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,

1:35:29

hundred percent higher because he's going to battle

1:35:39

higher than thirty twenty

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

1:41:43

Caine was on that show. Oh yeah,

1:41:45

I didn't see that.

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

1:41:54

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

1:42:20

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

1:46:15

Ain't gonna lie. I think they should put me in. I don't

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.

1:57:43

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

we got to h

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

curl was like more like an East Coast thing Jerry

2:17:34

Curl. Can we had soul glow?

2:17:37

I was nine. You definitely had an S curl back then.

2:17:39

I ain't gonna let you look. Don't.

2:17:46

And he's never even asked

2:21:59

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

2:43:24

2:43:26

2:43:32

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

2:44:13

You know, I don't want the window.

2:44:16

I got caught drinking and driving

2:44:18

2:44:26

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

3:04:37

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

was it was in our case. Yeah,

3:48:33

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

3:48:43

And my wife was like, okay,

3:48:45

3:48:47

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

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

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

3:54:23

quiet. And

3:54:26

I love that. I love. I

3:54:30

3:55:02

He ain't even have pubics.

3:55:14

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

I was doing my homework because

3:55:46

I knew that question was coming for

3:55:49

snoop.

3:55:51

We're gonna drink. We're gonna drink.

3:55:54

But what you guys have here,

3:55:56

you guys are really the cornerstone for

3:55:59

what us folks are being able to do in

3:56:01

this space.

3:56:02

3:56:04

3:56:06
