It's almost like it's surreal. I don't even want to, I don't really want to talk about it to the playoffs because it's like something's going to happen. Even right now, they on a little four-game losing streak. We got a lot of injuries, but, you know, it's my whole life. I can't believe it. Like, it's something, I don't even want to look at the games.

I don't, it's like, I don't want to jinx them. But yeah, to see them doing, doing well is beautiful. And, you know, I can't,

like I said, hopefully everything goes smooth. We get into the playoffs and it's more than first round, hopefully second. I'm cool if they can make it to a good fight in the second. I ain't looking for, you know, we ain't going to jump out the window and say they're going to win it this year. Just have a nice playoff run and try to build off that.

They're definitely going to the Eastern Conference Finals, though. Are you on that? They're going against my bucks, fear the deer. Hell no. Oh, they definitely going to the Eastern Conference Finals, though. Oh, you on that? Yeah, they going against my Bucks, Fear the Deer. Hell nah. Nah, here you go. Come on, bro. Don't get too clouded

teams they need everybody yeah they need every last person to be there from the staff the training to make it work they ain't got

they don't got- Y'all can't sacrifice nothing. Yeah, nothing can be misplaced for the work. They need everybody. That's a fact. Man, for somebody that's never been there, obviously you played there, what's that feeling like when the garden rocking?

Like when the Knicks is going crazy and everybody in the garden at the game, like I know they had some down years and still go up because it's the garden, but like now, what's the energy? Can't go off that because it's always rock. The Knicks is the only people that can be 0-82 and the games is all

sold out. That's a fact. The Garden is... But now with some fluidity with the wins, you can feel it a little more. But you can go there and they're the most horrible team in the league and the Garden look like they They on their way

To the playoffs You know what I mean So you can't go off The Garden Is a different arena Did you ever go to The games when Jalen was there

Yeah I caught some Of them Jeremy Lin Game Them shorts was crazy Yeah The Garden When Jeremy Lin was there Yeah they

It was a different How was it like Playing in that Nah so we came out You know the Chinese Media was there Yeah, it was a different... How was it like playing in that? Nah, so we came out. You know, the Chinese media was there. It was like 45 cameras while we was warming up. I'm like, man, he walk out, they go nuts.

I'm like, there's no way. He got his own section of people, media. You see, yeah, I was winning the All-Star Ballot for years. I defeated. I wasn't even in the league no more. So once they get behind their people, there's a different presence being brought. Cameras, people, screams, every shot he makes. You hear a whole section just roaring. The whole building is crazy.

He earned that T-Bone moment, though. Nah, he was killing it. He was killing it, but that gym was crazy. I remember we played him. He was on that run. We was killing everybody. We caught a piece of that. I was like, damn.

I was hurt, too. I was like, he about to kill me. He just killed Kobe. Are you going to dunk his mom? I wasn't dunking, but I was like, damn. And then Melo had came back. So Melo kind of messed it up a little bit. He was like, calmed it down.

Like, Melo, all right, now. You had your mama bring the ball over here. I little bit. He was like, calmed it down. Like, Melo, all right now, you had your mama bring the ball over here. I felt it. I was like, yes, kill Josh. Don't kill me. Yeah,

You know what I mean? It's like a syndrome with Rod Strickland, Mark Jackson. Yeah. Dr. Mark Jackson. A lot of other people,, Mark Jackson. Yeah. Down to Mark Jackson. A lot of other people, though. Okay. Okay. That's why this year is detrimental to not sweat too early.

Okay. Stay humble. Yeah. You know, everything's crossed because it's just bound to happen. Something's going to go wrong. Nah, for sure. We know you like that on 2K. I seen a little bit yesterday.

I got, I think I was late with collecting. I tried to use my like star status and get a little bit ahead of the game, but that didn't really work.

Then I got some Jordan love. Shout out to my Jordan brand family and got a little more momentum, but I say Air Force Ones. I like Jordan threes, fours. I like Jordan 3s, 4s. Like Dunks. Now I'm old age,

I like comfortable sneakers. Like comfortability. New B, New Balance. That was the best comfortable shoe, bro. New Balance? A little Asic. I'm Nike. I'm Nike. I know, I'm just, that's me.

I know you. Yeah, I'm Nike. I don't know what I am. Shout out to the brand. One thing about me, I'm open for whatever. Whatever the check is at. Skechers. I've been trying to shoot my shot at y'all for a while.

Me and the real JR. Is that what you call him? It's the real JR, bro. Okay, the real JR. He's sponsored by Skechers. I'm with whatever. See his top 10 nick? Skechers giving out a nice bag over there.

Skechers all out of this, man. They already cut him they saw episode 2 of the podcast and said I don't think you fit our brand so you said what to me Chief Keef is for

they need a little edge on the brand they need to coach you we're going to get a pair of flyers for our sponsorship shit but now following you for a long time and I seen that you a sneakerhead They called you. We're going to get a pair of flyer spots for shit. Shit. Well, I don't think we're in the church.

But now, following you for a long time, and I've seen that you're a sneakerhead, and like, how many pairs of shoes do you think you own now? Because I tell people I own about like 3,000 or 4,000. That's a nice amount. Yeah, but I think you probably got more than me. Nah. I don't even know how many sneakers I got.

See? It's not a lot, though. Oh, you donate sneakers? Yeah, I give out. I give. I do big give outs to the kids. You know what I mean? That's hard.

Elementary schools, junior high schools. Okay. Shelters. Oh, that's dope. Family members. That's the worst, the family members. Okay. Shelters. Family members. That's the worst, the family members. I'm going to tell you about my brother. Got a little brother named Marcus T.

Shout out to Mook Doggy. I had these all white 25th anniversary 11s Mike Bibby gave to me, right? Sorry, Mook. Tell the story. He ducking and dodging me in the club. I'm trying to get his attention. He in the middle of the club with a Hennessy bottle. I'm like, yo, come here. He's like, uh-uh, I'm straight.

Yo, come up here. He's like, no, I'm going to stay in the crowd. For some reason, somebody said to me, damn, your brother Jordan's fired. I said, my brother, he ain't got no Jordans. I looked down. He got the all-white 11 verse in the middle of the club. If I showed you the shoe, you wouldn't believe it. They brown.

I saved them. One and done. They brown. Shout out to Bibi. Dave Brown. I saved him. One and done. Dave Brown. Demolished him. Shout out to Vivi, man. Oh, he obliterated him. Dave Brown. His Hennessy stones all on the tongue. He turned bro's shoe up.

Hate it. First day to all whites in the club is crazy. Because you know you can't get that back. Yeah. He's still down, man. Murdered him. Wilder, man. I still got him.

That's crazy. That's little brother stuff for you, man. Yeah. That's why family members with shoes, they don't get nothing from me. So you hit a trigger when you said family members. Yeah, he sat up in that chair about that one. It's quiet.

I know your family will do you the greasiest, man. They don't got no remorse. Facts. Absolutely. Obviously, we're big fans of your music. I have a question for you. What's the one song or the one beat

that you passed on that turned into a hit that you was like damn I wish I had that back a couple one one of the Hov joints

one of the Just Blaze just five months 80 million more. Oh, wow. You don't know? Yeah, I had Blaze sent that. Too much going on sometimes. Yeah. Damn. That's my favorite Holy song.

Yeah, now I had that beat. That's my favorite Holy song. Word. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, now I had that beat. I had a couple of beats. I had one of them necks or jagged, one of them songs that, not jagged edge. It was an R&B song that turned into a hit that had that beat, had that beat first.

That's crazy. Sometimes you miss. Yeah. Nah, for sure. How you and Fab, what made y'all want to do a tape together? It's like my bro. You know what I mean? It's like my broski.

Okay. That whole Freddie Jason came about. He was doing the Friday night freestyles. I was doing Friday mornings. Oh, okay. So then we had some nice momentum going in the city with the radio. He came to me with the idea, yo, let's do a project. You know what I mean?

Nah, that's hard. Go to the label, get a nice little bag. Let's do a project. That's all. Some merch. We did it. It's cool. Nah, that's fire.

Do you think, like, modern times, like, social media kind of, like, ruin, not ruin it, but, like, the mixtape era, how it's kind of dissolved where everything, like, people putting out singles and stuff like that. But, like, back in the days, we used to anticipate y'all having them tapes, anticipate y'all, like, flowing over other beats. It's like, does the business get in the way of doing stuff like that now? One trillion percent. They messed it up.

I can't say they messed it up. Maybe it got better, maybe it didn't. But you know how, like you saying, when y'all used to look forward to us borrowing somebody's beat and you can just throw it out. Now you got to go through the machine. You got to, you know what I mean? Shout out to rock nation but i just wanted to follow somebody's beat i got to pass it to them they got to send it through

make sure you don't get sued make sure they don't shut it down and then so that kind of like took a little bit of the fluidity out of it you can still do play it in a car, just tape it and do it, but it's not the same as, yo, I'm about to borrow this such and such beat and set it on gasoline and send it out. You can still do it,

but it takes, they took away from it because you got to send it through for clearances and this and that. You know what I mean? Especially like,

when it first started with like the SoundCloud days just streaming stuff like SoundCloud you could just go crazy and drop it with no issue but now that's getting monetized now it seems like

as soon as anything picks up they start monetizing and slow it down so they can keep it you know they can navigate

the end results of it shout out to Podcaster Podcaster a little bit different a couple years ago. Yeah. But now them bags is in there. Facts.

That's the reason why we don't got Milwaukee season tickets. This dude here got chill, bro. No, but I feel like you, you always been one of the dopest rappers to me, but I think after the Versus, I think a lot of more, I would say more people knew how dope you were. Now people saying you top. Younger generation.

Now people saying you top five all the time. How that make you feel? Like I know you had to take top five that are alive, but like, what that make you feel like when you hear like LeBron and all these guys like, yo,

Kiss been top five? Oh, nah, that's a beautiful thing. When you make music, it's for the people. Yeah. It's your art.

It's your expression. It's how you feeling at the time or whatever you're going through or whatever you want to put out there to the people so when anybody can embrace it and put you on any kind of list, you know what I mean? It's a trillion artists. Just to make the list is a blessing. So if you can start being in people's fives and tens and twenties or whatever it is that's just a priceless feeling that you know i mean you feel like the job got done that you set out to do because when you make music like i said it's art but you

still in order for you to make money and be successful that people have to embrace it in order for you to make money and be successful, the people have to embrace it. And when you could, you know, hit the center, master certain athletes, celebrities, or just anybody, a homeless person walk by like, yo, this music kept me under this box for three months. I love you for that.

You got to appreciate that. That's right. I mean, sometimes that feeling is more than getting a big bag or a big check or a big Dorseman deal or whatever. You know what I mean? Just the fact that it makes somebody

feel good off your music or put you, categorize you on the list is a priceless feeling that you should never take for granted. This is like

somebody wearing your jersey. I got to ask, how was that feeling the first time you heard yourself on the radio? Like the five hard beats, you remember? No, I turned that shit up.

It was like that, you know what I mean? Especially coming from Yonkers. Yonkers is like a hidden, it's like a gumball of all of the barrels. It has a little bit of all of the five barrels mixed with something else. So we would always get overlooked. You know what I mean? It was shout out Mount Vernon, the Bronx, New Rochelle, Skip, Skip YL. So once we was able to get on, that was something.

That was like the chip on our shoulder. We want to let the people know that is a demographic in the world with some dope artists that y'all forgetting about. Yeah, first time hearing it, it's like, he made it. That's fire. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast,

Speaking of top five, we know you big with basketball. Who's some of your top five favorite players? Wow. And for the record, that catchphrase with top five anything

is just like a religious argument because it's ongoing. It's always going to be better than five goats and anything. But for me, my five players that I love magic mmm hey Katie mmm KG take it take it underwrite it. You know what I mean? And Melo. Phil Melo got on Melo.

Melo's career was really similar to my career. Okay. You know what I mean? Wish he was still going, still playing, but I think he got a lot of, he got slighted. I was just about to ask you who you think, like if you had to put a player. Yeah, Melo. That's definitely Melo. That's his guy. That's his favorite player.

What? Melo. My dog. I like Melo, too. For sure. He ain't better than Bron, but I like Melo. That's why I wanted to ask. But he used to bust Bron's ass.

Yeah. He used to bust Bron's ass. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? He used to bust Bron's ass. The real rookie of the year. That's what it means. Melo rookie of the year. That's what they're being about, rookie of the year.

They started off jerking him from right there when he got right there. And he took that sad-ass team. They only won 17 games a year prior. They went to the playoffs, too. Brian didn't even go

to the playoffs his first year. But that's another story. But that's why I asked who your favorite Nick was. Come on, bro. Did you see his draft? He's not going to help us. He's did you see his draft he's not gonna help us

they all say he messed up. Yeah, bro. I wonder what they saw on Darko, though. Nothing. 7-2. Politics, man. Politics take over every business, no matter what it is. There's always some politics inside the seasoning of every business,

no matter what it is. Music, sports, car dealership, jewelers, medicine. Nah, for sure. Everything politics is going to be involved. And I had to bring this up because we was around for that time period, but you and the Iverson commercials. Fire. Y'all made us want to go get the shoes.

That's the luxury of social media and technology. No, that's a fact. That's the luxury of social media and technology. I'm fortunate to have the best of both worlds because in the beginning, the privacy was beautiful. Some of the memories, we had to keep them up here. No, for sure. It's just priceless and you just relive them in your head. But now with everybody, anybody can capture you at any moment.

You have to move different, carry yourself different. Yeah. It's still beautiful because there's some things you can capture that's needed to be captured. But then again, your privacy is to a bare minimum. It's a gift and a curse. Yeah, so you got to find some balance in it and make it work for you. You handling it well, though, for sure.
