No, I really wasn't technical, like tech-savvy like that. So if somebody ain't put that and shit on my phone for me, I ain't, you like that. I got to ask you this question.

I guess you allegedly. You had a legend been around a long time. This affected you directly. How was the ringtone era? because you did numbers. You had songs that people always wanted to hear. The ringtone ever was cool because you made a lot of money

when the business was right, but it was also not cool because they robbed a lot of us. The accounting, the way to do the accounting on that shit wasn't like some shit that we was really familiar with because that shit kind of came into effect like way after we was popping already.

Yeah, facts. So, you know, the pre-ringtoned contracts didn't really include that. But once they did, you know, the lack of experience and information on how to research going about doing your proper checks and balances with all of that shit, you took a beating real quick from a lot of the motherfuckers

that took advantage of the lack of information we had on it. But the dope shit was, you know, we spun the block. Yeah, we got it back. Point the block and made sure motherfuckers is all accountable, too. Yeah, word. Get that get back for show, man. Shout to our family, Boo Smoke, with a half-in with Buster Rhimes.

He's looking for a deal. Let's get this money for no, man. Come on, let's get it. Let's talk. Let's get this money, baby, know the vibes, man. Shout to our patron-on members, Mafia tier. You will see this first, as usual, in Shop Club 520.com to get your merch, man.

Same game with me. As usual, we got legend, so we will introduce some laughs. To my far left. We got my dog. Bishop, Bhe, here, and Arthur Pireli. Is how you what nasty? What's had in Nashville? Let's get to it, man.

Oh, man. You know the legend in here today. Yeah. Deptell legend, you know the vibes. To my right, my dog, young Nacho, young Teague. How you what? I'm cooler, man. Like he said, we got a legend in the bill.

Come on, man. Greatly appreciated. A real legend, man. Pulling up to the city. Look, we were surprised he was in that, man. Like, boy, get to school around than that. That all that. Have me told you came out here to perform.

And that's always showed you love, or is this kind of your first time I'm out here for a year. We've toured many of different tour runs throughout the years and definitely came through the city, because It's just one of them cities that, they like Corley, they got the A markets and the B markets, the A market. This was always one of those cities that was a priority,

a market city when the tour ones was being routed. I don't see, I don't remember being on too many tours where this wasn't a part of the routing. I guess y'all just some live motherfuckers out here, though. Yeah, it kind of dimmed down, though, a little bit. We ended up to turn it to the C market. Yeah. Yeah.

We used to get everybody, though, for sure. We had a couple of bands in this, man. But one thing about the city, man, if they rocked you the first time, they were 100% I was like, it's one good impression in the city, man. Yeah. But you know what time of it is, man.

We got a legend, man, Buster Roms, man. Big Dog, we appreciate you sliding on us, man. Appreciate y'all having me pull up, real shit. Thanks, bro. Mike, load this up. Now, this is crazy because I did not know that you was going to be on the show, but this went crazy on Twitter last week.

Do you remember this at all? You was a part of legendary song, man. One of our childhood favorite movies, man. Come on the Space Jill's joy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, damn, everybody was on this track together? What was that moment? Like, what was that call like to do this?

I mean, the call was, it wasn't really like out of the norm at that time because I was, I was damn knowing everybody shit at the time. That's a fact. So when the call and the opportunity came, I was extremely excited about it when I found out who was on the record. Hell, hell. The opportunities is always, we always appreciate the opportunities all the time. But, you know, you get opportunities cool.

You're going to do it, you're going to knock it out if you're into it. But then there's certain shit that you get excited about. You know, me rocking with the bros at the time, you know, Meph and Be Real and Coolio, rest in peace, and hell, and everybody that was on it, it was super dope to have that moment with them. That's great. Because we was all popping, everybody was doing anything, and we was all fans of each other's work. Yeah. So looking forward to that moment, being on the set, and she was just a show.

some anxiety shit because you know he wasn't trying to be the weakling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Not, at this point, the song was done. So it was like, you just was thinking about

how we're going to smash whoever else is going to be doing their performance on the video. Like the performance battle was the concern at the moment. And the vibe was always super dope because every time we got around each other, whether it was at a show or in a club just chilling or on a video set,

it was just love and respect. Everybody just, that energy was, reciprocated in a consistent fashion. It's a little different now because I think, you know, this camera era and the trolling error and the clout chasing error, I think, you know, people are, they don't really understand how significant the value of the relationship

is that you should appreciate because you can't put a price tag on, on genuine relationships and being resources to each other. I think a motherfucker would think about nowadays, a motherfucker want to actually troll somebody that they would be better off of lining with for the clickbait before they actually think about the value of maintaining a relationship.

For sure. Just one thing being here always spoke on earlier since I know he always said, relationships worth more than money. Right. That's how I move. But they do it, Buster, because that's how they feel like they get your attention.

Yeah, but they also do. do it too because, you know, we kind of got to take responsibility a little bit. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, accountability ain't upheld in the same way that it used to be. Facts. You know what I'm saying? The moral fiber of what we stood on principle-wise and respect-wise and manners-wise is different

how you upheld accountability than as opposed to now. You know, I'm saying? Because, you know, at that time, you knew it wasn't too many. running hotel type of mentality's around. Yeah. It wasn't too many cameras around. Yeah. So, you know, if you had to get addressed,

you had to understand that you had to actually deal with that way differently. Oh, yeah. I'm supposed to get a real PR. You had to see, you, niggins, the viewers out of pocket. You couldn't just stay in the house back then. You could stay in the house to your phone now. You got to go sleep people. You had to go see people.

Yeah. Different day. That's a fact. Definitely a different day. Did you know that movie is going to be as crazy as it was there? I mean, you never know how crazy some shit is going to be until it comes to fruition. But, you know, anything at that time, especially Alon, you align with fucking Michael Jordan and L and Julio and Cyper's Be Real and Meth. It's like, all of that time, it was like the Avengers.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And then, you know, wasn't nobody able to talk to a Michael Jordan and what he was able to do, which is how he was a superhero to all of us, you know what I'm saying? So the opportunity was we knew, we all knew like this shit was a big deal. But we definitely didn't know how crazy it was going to be until it actually happened. Hell you know.

For sure. For sure. All right, Barbie, you're here, man. Let's get some drinks for him, man. Well, heartbeat. Shout to our bar, Senator. Oh, wow. What kind of drinks you got going on over there?

Well, it depends on the time of the day. Hmm. I don't usually do that this early, but... Okay, cool. Okay. What we got today, B? Has some food for fresh there. Okay.

I was... I don't know. Oh, man, good. You're still not going to be in a video. Yeah. That's a good point, Saluted to shut the bus ride And the deal just too

Coming out real, real storm with that tap in, baby Yes, sir, on the way August 25th, baby Salute you, bro. We appreciate you. Thank you, man. I want to ask for,

we move on, bro. I love Spliff, bro. Oh, yeah. One of the greatest entertainers in the world, bro. How did y'all link up? That's been your man since ground up. Yeah, yeah.

Me, Spliff and Scratchett Tour. Spliff and Scratchettor actually grew up on the same block. It was like one block apart from each other. Yeah. I had family members that lived on that block, that Scratch lived on. Spliff was the block before Scratch, but the same Troy Avenue in East Flash,

Flappish, Brooklyn. And my mother and my father divorced on the weekends that my pops had us to pick us up, me and my brother for the visitation. He used to bring us to all of his friends' crib in his age group. So we wasn't really trying to be around him, the old family members and friends.

You know what I'm saying? Because the way we was raised in a, you know, I'm from a Jamaican upbringing. That household, the respect that you're raised with is kids are to be, kids aren't, how does the sand go against? See, not hers.

Kids are to be seen and not heard unless spoken to. That shit just always felt like he was under a microscope that was a constant disciplinary microscope, even though we was loved tremendously by the family and friends. But we would go to Spliff Block because my family members that lived over there, my horn, had five kids. So, you know, we over there and we outside. So seeing Spliff and,

And Scratchet Tour, you know, and a bunch of the other kids were on the block. It was just the norm just to be outside and everybody doing their shit. And, you know, the Kung Fu Flicks will come on at 3 o'clock on a Saturday at Channel 5 when we be outside doing all of that shit, all of the regular degler hanging out and fucking around until that shit come on. And then everybody jet in the crib and then come back outside. And you should see in a bunch of Jackie Chan's and Bruce Lee's block. For real?

For my bow, I think, I think me, I think I met Spliff when I was about. about seven years old. Damn. Spliff was always like the knucklehead of the block. You know what I'm saying? And Spliff was really, really in the street. Scratchettor was nice always as a DJ. So, like, he was a part of, like, this clique that was called TNT Crush.

And they was the ones that always was the biggest sound system in the neighborhood for when the block parties and all of that shit was happening. Yeah. You know, they was lit. So Scratchettor was the youngest DJ in that clique. But he was the first one to scratch dance hall in Jamaican records like they was hip-hop shit. And that was never seen before scratch at all, at least from my experience of being around black parties in the hood and different blocks or whatever. But I ended up getting into mischief and fucked around and got in some trouble when I got to like 11, 12.

And it was kind of the thing because the street shit was exciting. A lot of it was it because, you know, we needed it. Like, I don't, I don't got that. I come from the project's backstory. You know what I'm saying? I got, well, I was definitely, and I always like to celebrate my parents in this way. Like, they bust their ass to make sure I ain't really need shit. But we was with the bullshit.

Absolutely. So he was outside, getting caught up and shit. And I ended up moving along Allen. And that's how leaders of the new school started. but I would say around 15, I moved back to Brooklyn because my mom's moved to Florida and I didn't want to go to Florida at that age.

So come back to Brooklyn, signed. I came back to Brooklyn at 15. Ended up being back around Spliff and Scratching them. And the relationship just always evolved because we kind of just, we was like each other's first real friends at that young age. So when leaders broke up, you know, I was so used to this group shit

and this having that support, whether I look left or look right. Denko was there, Brown was there, my cousin Molo, which was the DJ was behind us. I felt like I needed that. So Spliff and Scratchett tour obviously needed DJ, but Spliff wasn't even rhyming yet. But Spliff was into shit in the street

that he needed to be saved from. Yeah. So fortunately, he was willing to listen and embrace the opportunity of becoming what he became, because Spliff became the hype man before he started rhyming. And when Splip started rhyming, that's when I was like, this motherfucker is a superstar, because, you know, y'all going to hear Spliff music soon, too,

because he got a product coming out this year as well. But that friendship just was always some real family-owned, organic day one shit. And you could tell. Like, you never let anybody play with his name and nothing like that. Everybody's a hype. He's like, no, that's family. Like, we're a band, basically.

He's all locked in, getting to her for sure. Yeah, that's a fact. Obviously, you said you've been on a good vibe run, man. What was it like, man for the next one in the championship, man? I mean, obviously, that shit was emotional for us. That shit was emotional, son. The thingas are sitting around looking at each other wiping tears, bro. Like, when they last one, I don't even remember that shit.

I was too young to remember that. So this is like the first time and this lifetime force. Yeah. And hopefully not the last, but... Oh, it's over. What type shit you're... What you mean?

You're fucking out of the store. Yeah. More tears. He said, please enjoy it. All right, cool. Let's move on. Right along. Now, for me, personally, it was incredible because this whole year,

and like I said, these last couple of years, three, four years for me, has been incredibly amazing. So to see that the incredible shit that's been happening is continuing to happen, and it's even getting more incredible, it's a testament to, you know, speaking the shit that you want to manifest into existence because I'm making my business to say the blessings don't stop. so we don't stop every single day. Yeah.

And Nakes won that championship on the anniversary of the Big Bang album, which had New York shit on it. Damn. Damn, that's hard. And the album turned 20 this year. Yes, sir. That album came out June 13th,

2026, Game 5 Chip Day, June 13th, 2026. Came out 2006, excuse me, the Big Bang, but this is the 2026 year, the 20th year of the anniversary of that album. along with five other albums that I'm celebrating the anniversary for. But on the topic of the next shit, there couldn't be a more incredible rewarding feeling for me

than to be able to see that they won the shit for the first time in 53 years on a Buster Rhyms 20-year anniversary album where I did a song called New York shit shouting all of my motherfucking teams from New York. Yes, sir. So that shit was an incredible feeling. But, you know, that's again, that again is like a testament to the amazing shit.

that's happening for me and it has been happening. So I got a 25-year anniversary celebration happening with the Genesis album right now, but I can't break it and break. Bangor. Excuse me, Kavasi ain't breaking act. And my first solo album with Wuhan, the coming album, that's 30 this year.

First Leaders of the New School album is 35 years old this year. And the low-end Dairy Tribe called Quest's album turns 35 this year as well with scenario and oh my God. Where are you? Yeah, so it's an amazing year. And, you know, this year is also the 20-year anniversary of Jay Diller's transition. Absolutely. Rest a piece of Diller.

Rest of the Diller. Miss him, love him, and always did everything that I felt I was able to do to uphold the integrity of his legacy and make sure you stand the impossible. Or forget him. I mean, in addition to the whole Diller estate. Absolutely. You know, shout to Dilla Estate in the airs and big up to Ma Dukes and Ella J. And his two beautiful daughters. and the legal team over there

because, you know, obviously, nothing ain't happening without them blessing it and giving it they blessing. But it's so crazy because this Dillard's two album is coming on August 25th. And I just realized recently

that the Grammy Awards is airing on Dillard's birthday, which is February 7th. So it's just divine alignment and everything going on this year. And it's amazing to be able to have this alarm it surrounding everything I got going on and with the people that I love

that I'm able to celebrate all of this magic way. Absolutely, man. We're talking about you being a legend. We're going to be talking about anniversaries of decades, a long time when you get into it. All right, man, shout out to Kalshi, our new business partners, man. Listen, it is an exchange where you can trade

I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random. dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too

nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first time listeners. Each week we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right?

How about we flip the script? Okay. What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott, this entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect, I would never set expectations for something like that to happen.

If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity. exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope. It's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times, out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is.

You know what I mean? Like, you're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right, fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are with us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the Survivor Files.

I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. but these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I want to ask you, for you to still grow, do your thing, and progress in this stage, what's like seeing your other peers, them to say, I think, like, we look across the world, like Joe and Jada got a pod, shout out to the volume, like, for them to still be out here active

to see so many of our legends, Like, we don't joke about it all, but like to see World Performance and we see our legends, like we just seen Tusha go out there and everybody from Mexicans to little-ass white kids who're singing and the anthem of life

to see our little-ass thing. We just see a whole. We just see a whole in New York. Yeah. That's a different shit. Three nights at the Yankee Stadium is some other shit. To see it is an amazing thing.

I think the most incredible thing that people are witnessing for the first time in hip-hop is our alumni of MCs is not only active, but we, we are mastering the maid. And we're not only mastering the navigation and showing motherfuckers the evolution and the growth,

but we navigating this shit and doing it on our own terms. And we will still bus whoever asked that question. So it's like y'all are witnessing in real time that we're actually getting better with time. And that's probably one of the most rewarding parts about the whole shit. Because this hip-hop shit, it's interesting how for so long we hear motherfuckers try to date it

and talk about when an emce should sit down. And I like to just only engage in those conversations. because I live by showing motherfuckers better than I could tell them. So until you could really display a justified reason, which is very far from an impossibility, it's not too far, it's already, it's already, it's already very difficult to compete with motherfuckers that has become the Daniels, the Mr. Miyagi's of this shit.

Like when you start evolving and master this shit that we've been doing to sensei levels, I become more dangerous with time. So, you know, until you, you could, you could figure out how to compete with the way I've matured in something that I put well, I put well over my 100,000, fuck a 10,000 hours or 10,000, we don't put 100,000, 200 million hours into this shit over the year. So we will, we will, we will bust your ass with grace. And the fun in that is, is motherfuckers that could respect

and be inspired, I think that's the great feeling about watching our peers and each other still moving and shaking because a lot of the younger MCs that might be talking about when an elder statesman needs to sit down or when the, one of the guards or the goddesses of this shit to sit down, they're going to hope and wish that they could still do what they love

and be, you know, still be on their A game when they get to this point. Yeah, yeah. Build up on it. Like, it's funny, like you see a generation of kids now. They don't know Method man as a rapper.

They know him as an actor. They know iced tea as an OG. They see him as long order. Like the elevation and stuff to continue to go on to still be cold is fire for sure. Absolutely. We got personal favorite, but we can go around the room. Music video buff, you set the tone.

Let me go for. Get your shit off. I have to ask you. It's not inappropriate. I mean, but like Janet Jackson. See, no, no. No, no. No, no.

To have a video. Come on. Like, Janet Jackson, I mean, I know she smelled good. No disrespect, good. I know some good. Give it to your point. She was so cold. Like, what was that?

Like, I know we see guys, like, Wile is one of my favorite artists. We rock a Wale. He's a guy. He could be some of the best R&B singers. But for you, we wanted a. originators, like they have Janet and Mariah and all those people to collab with those kind of artists. What was that? Like, how did the Janet Jackson Holt thing come about?

The Janet thing came about. I always got to thank Angie Martinez for this moment because when Angie Martinez was on 97 before she got over to Power 105, she had the prime time slot on the station. The highest ratings on the station.

she would get all of the biggest stars to pull up to do the interviews. So whenever people was passionate through the New York side of things, whether they was touring or they was promoting the project, you had to go see Angie. You know what I'm saying? On this day and particularly, Janet was being interviewed by Angie, and it was about her Velvet Rope tour for that album.

And Angie asked her, you know, what rappers would you like to work with that you've never worked with before? and she had worked with Heavy D before me, but she's never been on a hip-hop artist album before. You know what I'm saying? So I think Heavy D got on one of her joints, but this was her first step out as a feature on a hip-hop project and a hip-hop artist is out.

So she said Buster Rhyms. And I was driving actually to the city to go to a meeting at the label I was on the lecture records at the time Big up to Sylvia Row and the Queen. And when I heard Janet say Buster Rhimes, I almost crashed. I literally had to pull over

and I called my manager, Mona Scott Young. And this was when Vali, the management was still popping. Rest in peace, Chris Lydie. It's a piece. But I called Mona and told Mona get in touch with Janet. And I just heard her to say she want to work with Buster Rhymonte. I got a song for and I'm ready to do this shit immediately. I ain't have no song.

So again, it's about speaking shit into existence. Janet was, I'm sure for a lot of us, but I had the crush on Janet when she was Willis girlfriend from different stories. Damn. When she was Penny on Good Times. Poetic Justice with Pot. Yeah. Q-tip, I've always loved that woman.

And to this day, I still hold her in the highest regard because, you know, she just was incredibly talented from single-digit age. But it was always beautiful to me no matter what age levels she evolved into. So when the opportunity came and we put the song together, I think the moment of actually knowing that I'm going to be in the same room with her, that's when shit got a little. Because you don't want to, you ain't trying to fuck the energy up in the slightest way. Like you ain't trying to do nothing wrong. So, you know, we did all type of research to see the shit that she was going to like

or that she did like. So set up the studio when she agreed where she wanted to work at. She chose the studio. Mutual location, not in New York. I forget where it was. But we just decorated the studio with everything that we researched that she liked.

The type of flowers she liked, the fragrances she liked. Yeah. And then when she came, I just greeted her real quick, and chopped it up briefly because my rhymes wasn't finished. But all of the vocal reps was pre-recorded for her to do and add her shit to it, her magic. And I stayed in another room the whole time

and finished penning my shit and spitting it. And when I came back and heard her finish, once I found out she was done, I then brought my performance lyrically over to the song in her room. And when she was hearing it and vibing it, I think this was the longest time we was in the same space because we just kept playing the shit over and over and just loving what we was putting together.

And then the day of the video shoot, that's when shit was like, it was nerve-wracking in the beginning, but she went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable. and she saw what we, you know, the level of production that we was bringing to the shit with hype flames and the money we spent. And she just really, really respected and appreciated

that we wasn't playing with this moment. You know what I'm saying? You came up with that concept, with that video? Yeah, I came up with every concept of my videos because I'm a movie fanatic. So every movie that I wish that I was in, I would make a video that shit because I could put myself in the motherfucker.

That's how we got past Cabasier being the heart. I'm like, yeah. That's exactly that. That's how you got put your hands with coming to America. That's how you got the Janet video was the liquid robot from Terminator 2 movie. So that's how you got all of that liquid shit with the glass breaking. That shit was current.

T and 2, a legendary movie, bro. Yeah, these is the movies that I was in love with at the time. Even the name of the album, Extinction Level Event, that came from a movie, it was one of those, one of the early movies. I forget. It came out in 98 or 97, but it was a movie, one of the first movies

about an asteroid hit in the planet. And they described the moment as an extinction level event. I forget the name of the movie. Damn. But a lot of the shit that I've done with these albums, titles, and videos,

they definitely were shit that was for movies. What's your favorite movie, buff? What's some of your favorite movies or some of the more recent movies you tapped into recently? Sinners is incredible.

Okay. Bangor. That's that battle another day with Tiana Taylor and Leonardo DiCaprio? Oh, yeah, yeah. That movie was dope to that shit was real dope to me as well.

That was a pretty good movie. Yeah, that movie was, I really enjoyed it. And I enjoyed it because of the chemistry that Tiana and Leo, Sean Penn, that whole shit. It was just something I didn't expect to see. Yeah, that was a, you know what I'm saying? Them three together.

That she was very left field. Like, whoever thought, having them play those roles and write the shit the way they wrote it for them to play and deliver the character in the way that they did was crazy to me.

Armageddon was a movie? Armageddon was a movie. Armageddon was definitely the... I don't know if it was Armageddon. No. Willis. Now, it was one before that. Deep impact?

Deep impact. Deep impact. There we go. Deep impact. That's it. Okay. That's it, both, for real. That's all.

That's all the one. John's Michael says there. Yeah, that's it. Legendary movie, for sure. Yeah, that was my shit. Dang, that's crazy, man. Yeah, I don't know who's going to type it up, man, but we got to get Bust and Rhyms on the movie tip, man.

We got to bust around doing movie reviews, man, going some of his favorites. A lot of people would appreciate that, especially with your inspiration to be happy from that, bro. Yeah, thank you, bro. I mean, you know, I've definitely had fun shooting a lot of movies, but I actually had a real good time shooting a movie that I did recently with this incredible actor by the name of E.

E.M. Hersch, directed by, Randall Emmett. This movie's coming out next year. It's called a conspiracy. We just wrapped that in November last year. So yeah, y'all definitely getting ready to see the kid back on the silver screen,

shaking it up. We've seen Halloween, bro. We were tapping on. This is real, come on, man. This is completely random but RP to the left. We were just talking about this, like, rappers and movies and stuff,

but I feel like DMX and I get enough love for how good he played in a lot of movies where he was, like, the main star in like Denver action flicks at the time period. Like that's the time period we probably won't get back to, but like DMX was like a legend in action flicks. You would tap there with that heavy, but that's super, super underrated too.

That's a fact. Rest and peace of the dog. Come on, man. Not to jump around, but the new project, man. All right, man, listen, we already know you and Wayne together. That's already, you know what I'm saying? Easy money.

Speaking of that, that's single drop today. Okay. Talk your shit. It should drop at 3 o'clock this afternoon. So everybody goes stream. Yeah, it's familiar. Now, word. And another record off the

The Me and Dilla album is called Spaz that came out like a week prior. So we just kind of just beating them left and right with the slappers and with the heat and just making sure that everybody know that this feeling that a lot of the generation recently probably has never heard or experienced in the way that the focus and concentrated effort

went into making sure that we restore that energy and that feeling, give a friendly reminder to the generations that is from this sound and this feeling. But putting a time, a timeless greatness on all of this incredible music that is from that feeling into what's actually being done to share it with the people now. Because I don't want nothing to feel nostalgic or old. I just want motherfuckers to really appreciate the timeless greatness in this body of work

that, you know, me and Diller put together. So, yeah, big up, big up the Little Wayne, man. He definitely blacked out on the joint, for sure. I tell you was, Thomas, that record with you and Chris Brown. Oh, good looking, man. Everybody in their mama tries to. I was trying to rap it early. When I heard Rico Bing do that before and I said, bro, that's crazy.

Now that he bobs up. How did that come about, you and Chris, chopping on? So I was in a studio in New York. I was actually in a studio that, is owned by Jerry Wonder, platinum sound studio, Midtown, Manhattan at the time. And we was in a studio

in one room working on another song that actually, during those same hours, Breezy and Nellie was in the room next door. So we mixing this record and this beat with the low end from the look at me now, I guess,

whatever they was doing, on Chris Brown. I think he was playing it for Nelly. Okay. And I don't know Breezy verse was on it yet. I don't think anybody verse was on it yet. And that shit was rattling

so fucking crazy through our room. It was like, it was complicating our ability to hear the mix. It was like finalizing the EQ for the song we was mixing in our session. So I kind of went over there on some, yo, y'all y' giggas need to turn that shit down a little bit.

But when I opened a door and I saw it was Breezy and Nelly, I was like, oh shit, what the fuck going on? Was good, bros? What's that shit you was playing over there? So, Breezy playing it again, and I think Nellie was supposed to be on a song at the time. I don't think Wayne knew about the song yet. And Breezy was showing Nellie how his rhyme was supposed to go.

So that's when he had the little speed rap part in it, And then I was looking at Breezy, and I just kind of was like, you don't know what you're doing with that shit. Speedback, I don't know what you're doing. Let me show you how to keep the dice rolling. Damn. Doing that thing over there.

Let me show you how to do that. You don't know what you know. And when I said that to him, he was like, what you just said? And I said, you don't know what you doing, my nigga. Let me show you how to keep the dice rolling when you're doing that thing over there, and he was like, yo, boss, I need you on the joint.

I need you to cut me off. in my middle of my speed rap shit and just black the fuck out. The session that I was in next door turned into that moment because I had to, I wanted to get the rhyme done while we was together in the same building.

So I did the rhyme and I brought it back and I actually had a slowed down part towards the end and Breezy was like, you're going too crazy to slow it down. Like, please go back and fix that one part. Keep it crazy all the way through. So I went back and I made that adjustment and gave it to him and that was it.

Damn. I think that shit came out 2011, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. I think Funk Flex were all permitted. And, um... That's still in the club today, but... Yeah, the shit went down in last year. Oh, damn.

Yeah. So, after all of these years, it just, it just... It just kept going, kept growing. For sure. Nah. Shout to Breezy. Shout the tune sheet. Low wing.

Yeah. That's crazy. You're going to, hey, turn that shit down. End up turning to her. Langry. Go back. Thank you. Crazy.

Nah, man, that's how I'm supposed to go for sure. Man. Listen, we know you got to get out of here. We got to do this again, man. We appreciate you sliding on this, man. Sure. I know, we got to legend. Thank you so much.
