Yayo starts by comparing life in Europe to America, saying liquor tastes better, food is healthier, and there aren’t guns everywhere like in the U.S. Fresh off tour in Europe with Chris Brown in Manchester, he talks about how Washington D.C. feels dangerous today with residents scared to drive their own cars. Yayo reflects on growing up in the Southside of Jamaica, Queens, calling it the best borough in New York over Brooklyn and the Bronx. He shares that his parents are from Haiti, and explains how he got the name “Tony Yayo” from Scarface. He dives into his upbringing, calling immigrants hard-working, recalling his strict parents, and saying their divorce led him toward the streets and drug dealing. He dropped out of school, hustled while working around his mom’s schedule, and even had $100K thrown away by his mother. He remembers being robbed at gunpoint for a Starter jacket, his mom’s house being shot 22 times, and the pain of calling her from jail after being arrested. Yayo describes how 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks look out for friends coming out of prison, how he ended up dealing drugs, and why the worst part of street life was disappointing his mother. Yayo reflects on hip hop beefs, loyalty, and survival. He says he’ll never be mad at DJ Khaled for siding with Fat Joe during the feud with 50 Cent. He remembers riding in a bulletproof truck riddled with bullets, the murders of PnB Rock and Pop Smoke, and why he prefers hanging with his lawyer over rappers. He recalls being harassed by hip hop police when G-Unit was labeled “the most dangerous rap group in the world.” He praises Eminem as his “favorite white boy in the world,” calls Dr. Dre one of the best producers, and says Eminem listens to details like “the footsteps in Poltergeist.” He talks about how Eminem’s cosign made Joe Budden’s career, how Kanye West was around before fame, and how 50 Cent would turn down million-dollar deals. Yayo shares vivid stories about his friendship with 50 Cent — from knowing him since age 12, watching him box in the projects, and remembering the day he was shot nine times at his grandmother’s house. He says 50 didn’t want to be seen weak in the hospital, later rode around with a vest and gun looking for enemies, and didn’t even like “Many Men” until Yayo convinced him to keep it. He recalls 50 Cent giving him $1M, letting him sleep on his couch under strict rules, and always looking out for him when no one else did. He also revisits beefs with Ja Rule, Rick Ross, and Fat Joe, and explains why he’ll never be cool with Ja Rule. Yayo opens up about his rap journey, starting in basements as a dealer-turned-rapper, being starstruck partying with Mike Tyson, Venus and Serena Williams, Wesley Snipes, Samuel L. Jackson, the Kardashians, and even the owner of Ray-Ban. He recalls Mike Tyson telling him to expand his horizons, leading him to caviar. He talks about performing with Cash Money, almost signing J. Cole and Nicki Minaj to G-Unit, and Atlanta artists like Outkast, Jermaine Dupri, and Lil Jon. He says Biggie was a better songwriter than Ice Cube, praises Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Ghostface, Slick Rick, KRS-One, LL Cool J, and Heavy D, and discusses Nipsey Hussle’s death in his own neighborhood. He reflects on modern rap and street culture — drill music glorifying murder, rappers like King Von, BloodHound Lil Jeff, and Q50 rapping about their crimes, and why kids today flaunt guns with switches on Instagram. He talks about Tekashi 6ix9ine snitching, Fat Joe enjoying Gunna’s music despite controversy, and whether Young Thug and Gunna might reconcile. He weighs in on Drake sampling his music, the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef reminding him of Nas vs. Jay-Z and Tupac vs. Biggie, and why Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are the only artists making real money in streaming today. From doing time in Rikers Island with Diddy’s bodyguard to meeting Donald Trump after jail, from charity work with the Knicks to investing in real estate, Yayo tells it all. He talks about loyalty, losing friends, being stabbed, doing Hot Ones as its first guest, and being starstruck by Nas, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, and John Cena. Through it all, he credits 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and Eminem for inspiring him to handle his money wisely — while never forgetting the streets that raised him in Queens.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your daughter was born while you were incarcerated.

How did that impact you? That was a tough thing because I signed my birth certificate. Her birth certificate on Rikers Island and the CEO was the witness. I didn't want my baby moms to bring the baby there, but she did, and I signed it there. Yeah, that was tough. That's when I know I had to go home. You're like, you know. I ain't coming back.

Yeah, it's all about the kids, man. That's the, that's, that's the most thing, man. It's not about the money, the cars, and the jury. It's about taking care of your family and making sure your kids is correct, man. All that stuff come and go. Cars, jury had all kind of cars, all kind of jury. You know, and them experiences, like I said, being in the rooms with like you. People you only do.

You're a Hall of Famer. You know, I'm in the room with you. Appreciate it. People don't even know. You know, I was the craziest story. It's me getting out of jail. My craziest experience was meeting Donald Trump. Really?

You can Google it. Me and DJ Who Kid. He told me to come to radio. I just got out of jail. I'm out for a couple of days, and we interviewed Donald Trump. And I never forgot because it was drug dealer Wednesdays. And we interviewed Donald Trump way before he was president. Right.

And that's crazy. I even got a shirt signed by him. That's crazy. And now he's the president. But I always feel like he had game. Yes. I always feel like he had game. You mentioned him, his relationship with 50, your relationship to 50.

People called you house ends because they say, man, all you do is glaze 50. I mean, excuse me, Glades M, K for M, and so forth the song. Like, bro, the man got skills. Give credit where he's due, regardless of it, color. I think with social media now, it gives everybody gets it. Shea, shay. I think I heard Jamie Fox talk about it. He didn't even put a picture up.

Put a picture up. Nigger your pants too tight. You can't hate it. Put your kids up, your kids is ugly. Put your car up. I hate your car. Right. Like, the internet is.

undefeated. And what I learned is I used to let the shit bother them. But I was like you know what? The internet is just undefeated. We in times now where you could hands on tell the artists, fuck them. And I feel like that's a satisfaction that back in the days when there was no internet, you couldn't

do that. You know the internet is done? It has made people accessible. Because like you said, you can get up under their comment, you can jump in their DMs and say crazy. Everybody get it. Yes.

I think the only person that don't get it is maybe Beyonce, because she's, she got the beehive. Right. You know, certain, uh, Nikki Menard, certain people. Mm-hmm. But everybody gets, right, how's that? Because not everybody's a professional, an ex-professional athlete, they're a coach,

their music producer, their former, their former writer, their former rapper, their former this, their, so everybody's like, feel like their opinion, and they feel their opinions matter. And then you got to figure out when a person looks at you, like, you're in a position, and you fuck up. We only human. Right? Yes. We all fuck up.

Oh, he's stupid. He's dumb. Yeah. Like, for instance, the P. Diddy situation. Yeah. If I had his money, I'd be on the island. I wouldn't even be in this country, nigga. I'd be in f***. I have a spot in Paris, spot in Italy.

Right. I wouldn't even be talking to motherfuck this. Niggas won't be partying at my crib because I'm aware of the lawsuits. Right. You know what I'm saying? That nigga's stupid. That's the first thing in a guy going to say that got less money in you. There's more people that don't have it than do have it.

Be humble. And even if you humble, you still get it. Niggas going, yo, you're glazing 50. You're glazing them and them. It don't bother me because I know, I know niggas is going to hate for some reason. But I appreciate the people that show love. Right. Because, you know, out a lot of them comments, a lot of people show love and shout to them.

Can't focus on the haters. But the way we're wired, you can get 15,000 great comments to say, I love Yale, Yale with G-Unit with Emin 50 and Buck and New Banks and Game. is that one most poll comment that you know it's the best satisfying part of that that block button you block and you can erase and that's it and you embrace it

it's going to always be that one that don't like it's cool everybody don't got to like it exactly we weren't meant I mean he glazed at 50 I've been hearing that shit for 20 years 50 kids he watching his car him and him the white boy why he like him I had a bit hit me and say, yo, how you shout out Eminem?

You ain't shout out me from the birthday in the hood. And I'm like, what have you ever done for me in your natural life? Because you know where you get love at? You always get love in your hood last because they know you. Yes. Meanwhile, I can go to Europe and the niggas, yeah, yo. Yo, yo. I can go to Africa.

Yeah, yo. I can go to Italy. Yeah, yo. People show me love. You always get love in your hood last. See, music don't have nothing to do with color, race. The best thing about music is it breaks all barriers. Yes.

You know, it's funny that you said that because someone told me, he said, when you become something, is those that know you and closest to you have the most resentment. Exactly. Because they know you. Exactly. I don't met my that can name overseas. Yo, how's your kids doing? Name all my kids.

Know my album. Know everything. Support everything I do. Passible game shirt. Free A.O. shirt. but a from the hood won't buy my shit that I know my whole life

but a from a whole other side of the country is supporting me and love me when I'm not here no more those be the niggas at your funeral yep that's the crazy part about music it breaks all barriers it has nothing to do about color

because it could be a white boy that know more about hip hop than that mish hood let's keep it real because when you look at hip hop bro it's not going nowhere KRS, still torrent. Redman, still touring.

J.Rue the Damager, still touring. Half of the time when I'm in my car, I'm listening to old school. Nas, DMX, Koogee rap, KRS. I might go to Nina Simone. I might, you know what I'm saying? I might go to Bobby Conwell. Like, I'm listening to all types of music. Music breaks every kind of barrier.

You could be racist and still listen to your music. Yeah. We go, you know what, we're going to be all right, though. We're going to get past that. Yeah, we're going to get past. We, us, people. Yeah, definitely. When Drake sampled your song, definitely.

How did it make you feel? Shout to Drake, man, definitely, man. Cut the check. Drake got the check. He got it. It's good. I got the call from Paul Rosenberg and a couple of people that he wanted to use a sample from one of the mixtapes, and I was on it.

You know, even when you look at the Drake and Kendrick thing, that was the best thing that happened to hype, It was like a breath of fresh air. Nice battle. Well, you keep it on wax, though, Yale. Nice battle. I love a battle.

Keep it on wax. No, definitely, but sometimes it gets past that. It's always the entourage. It's never, yeah, it's always the entourage. But when you look at battle, KRS 1, MC Shan. KRS1 was dissing Queens, but we still listen to it. Yeah. From back in the days.

That might have been the first with BDP. That might have been the first, that might have been the first. And then you had Queens keep on faking it. You know, we was tight, but it was like, yo, this shit is hard. That's what I'm saying. That was hip hop. See, I like the 80s hip hop. I had to always bring this up to people.

Think about self-destruction. Yeah. A lot of people, that was a big record. You had KERS 1, Kumo D, Big Daddy King, Heavy D, Salt and Pepper, all these. Even what was K. What was K.R.S. on Wifee name. Was it?

I forgot her name. K-R-S girl. Was it Miss, was it Miss Melody? Miller, yes. Miss Melody was on there. Like, self-destruction. We had into a selfish, all the songs that you used to hear, even when you listen to

brand new being. Yes. When they talk about cracking songs, like, yo, don't do crack. Self-destruction, we head into a self-destruction. It was the crack era. Like, that music was dope. Public enemy, Fight the Power.

Yeah. That shit, like, come on, bro. Yeah, during research, I went back, I did not know until, like, probably a couple of months ago that Kane was in the Juice Crew All-Stars. I didn't know that. Yes! I didn't know that. Yes! I didn't know that.

And Big Daddy Kane, like... Hey, Kane with the high talk. I'll be having... Who you give it to, Kane or Rakim? Because it's like with them... It's good. Man, look... Ooh, geez, fee.

I was talking to somebody I was going to put it out and they were trying to say Kane had more swag than Rakim but I didn't really agree with that I don't want to say what DJ was but but I felt like they was

what do you feel like it was next to net Kane and Rakim? I do but man when when Rakim came out thinking of a master plane oh my year Rock Kim's

right Rock him and Kane but see that was the era of the lyricist when you look at Kane, you look at Rock Him, your Slick Rick, K-R-S-1, you look at those guys, L-L,

you look at that, I mean, those guys, you could hear everything. It wasn't no mumbling. You could hear every word. And after like three or four repeats, you got it. And then the list goes on, because I did love Heavy D. Heavy D was the first. Before Biggie, he was the first fat fly, nigga.

Yes, absolutely. He's had hits. That's why I said it's not down to a top five. Dougie Fresh. Yeah. Yeah, and then you got, and then you came along in the 90s and you had Scarface. Yeah, that's true, too. Now, you're talking about telling a story.

The ghetto boys. I mean, the ghetto boys was my shit. But that, but see, look, we've evolved, but I don't know, it'll never be like it was in the 80s. Hip-hop, not rap, not like that? No, sir. I feel like everybody kind of hates New York because we feel like we're innovating. Oh, we don't have. A.T. We don't pass y'all. We don't pass y'all.

You think so? Oh, hold on. Hold on. We got a debate now. We got a debate now. We got a debate. Because I'm going to tell you now, a lot of shit would remember what I said. We either get killed or indicted strike before we blow, right? We lost Pop Smoke. Yeah. Yeah. And then 6'9, he had a buzz till he told on niggas. Yeah. I ain't trying to, it's not no click, babe. But he had a buzz before he told on that.

We got a boogie. He's worldwide. now yeah you know we got we had a couple of dudes like but we either get indicted or something happens before it happens because you think new york had it for a long time think about in the 90s we had big pun fat joe dmx d block oh who am i missing hoob um naz um foxy brown little kim mm who am i missing oh you look y'all y'all y'all y'all had corner of the market on basically everything. You go back and look at the women rappers, uh, uh, uh, Roxanne, uh, uh,

Roxian, Roshin, Chatee, MC, Like. Bro, y'all had corned. Hey, you know who, I'm getting enough credit? Queen Latifah. Come on. Don't play with the queen. Don't play with the queen. I don't give, Queen Latifah isn't.

Don't play with the queen. It's definitely in my top five of female artists. She was the one that, who you call in a bitch? Yeah. Come on. She was like. You and IT Y. Yeah.

You went. 19 wide. I was definitely catching that on me. Yes. The Queen. Look, I'm a huge Missy fan. Oh, Missy Ellie. You can't take nothing from Missy. Oh, my goodness. But she, y'all got that self. Y'all got her. Yeah, she's for the side. You got. Y'all got her. But you know, Atlanta, you know, we're the key. Atlanta, who y'all got? Let me think. Don't do that who we got. Don't do that. I'm going to go without cats first before anybody anyway. You can do that? So future don't get no love, huh? No, future get love.

Okay, I'm just checking. Let's go, but I'm talking about early Atlanta. We got to go Jermaine DePriek. Yeah. Outcast. Who am I missing? Well, they set it off. When they, when they, the A.T. aliens.

Little John. Come on. Yeah. Because let's keep it real. Little John had a lot of his. Oh, yeah. Jemaine, John, who I'm missing? Outcast.

You know, I love Alcass. Goody Moby? Goody Mob. Goody Mob, you can't leave. them out there. You know what? They don't... Kill a mic. They need to give... They need to give Nile. They need to give Seelow his credit. No, Seelow, though.

Seelow like that. But Seelow was more like a singer you would think than a rap? But see, no. I didn't know he could sing like that because when he was good emo-B, he never did anything outside of when he started doing... We went solo, and he hit crazy, and he did it al-capella. And then people are like, hold on. Ain't no rapper got no voice like that. Yeah, definitely.

But outcast, come on, bro. Oh, now, come on. Goody Mob, definitely. Did Goody Mob have a lot of here? Three stacks, yeah. So we got to think about early Atlanta before we go on the future. No disrespect. I'm up with Atlanta, but you know, I'm always New York, man, you know.

Yeah, y'all, you know. I mean, for the longest time, you know, y'all was happening. That's just like when the mrs. Try to tell me, Cube is better than Nause. And I love Ice Cube. I love NWA, but I'm always going to say Nause is better than Q. And no disrespect to him. He's a legend.

It used to just be the coast, but it's done, you know, it's done moved down to the South, because it used to be the East Coast, West Coast. It was New York, L.A. I felt like it came to a point where, because I remember going down, like, early G-Unit, we was going down south, and I remember we went to, like, a radio thing.

I think we was in Texas. It was me and Banks, and he was like, we were tired of out of, we was dead. I'm like, why it happens to radio? Sometimes we have your radio for no reason. Nelson, I don't know what he did. He's a man who brought me to Calut. Right.

He had us down south. Me and Banks did. I think we in Texas. And he was like, it started off. We tired of playing. out of town this. Them niggas. They're looking around.

I think it came to a point where Down South said, New York rap. Yeah. Y'all had it for you. I'm just keeping the real. Came to a point where Down South turned their back on New York rap. For me, I'm keeping the real. And I love Down South rap.

But I remember, you know, mob deep shows. They do shows. They get in Atlanta. Niggas is turning their back. They want to hear goody mob and they want to hear Then you got Jeez and you got Gucci Man. You got Luda. They had their time.

Yeah, G-Z and Gucci. T-I. Yeah, T-U-P, yep. See? Yeah, T-I's cool. But the 80s still is still my favorite time of rap, because I'm old enough to, I'm old enough. I'm a teenager.

Yeah. So, you know, I'm a teenager, and so I'm rock him and K-R-F-1 and Kane and Slick Rick and all those guys, yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, dumb motherfuckus. That's when, to me, hip-hop was crazy. video music box everything was exclusive like i remember that like there was no internet so when a dj say oh i'm about to when when um tupac and biggie was beefing and flex was like yo i'm about to

play um new biggie who shot you like we got to run to the radio in the car oh shit biggie about to play the new flex gonna play who shot you because flex was you know to be on flex was like oh yeah to be on mount rushmore at that time to do a flex restow oh shit i'll never forget that. By going to the radio, running to the radio in the car just to hear Biggie knew who shot you. Nobody had it. He had it. Only certain DJs would get it first. That's why, like, with music now, it's too much shit coming out. It's too many artists. It's not, no exclusivity. Like, even with the social media, there's no exclusivity. Like, I remember when shit was just exclusive. Like, oh, shit. And you had to have more than one song. Yes. It wasn't no one

song and you were hitting bro. You had to put, no, you had to put the, you had to put the your album had to be lit and most of it were lit from front to back the A end of you have some you have three or four hits on the B side now dude had one song and he's talking about we're going to make him a start. He got a TikTok dance

I'm lit but back then you really had to be lit your whole album your whole mix tape JZ hard knock life Nause yeah you know like come on your shit had to be lit for

even for even little Kim and Foxy let's keep it real like I can't take nothing from them even though they was beefing that shit was like they was coming with records beats like I remember when Biggie when he said that one line get off my dick kick it you know when he said and little Kim came in do do even the beats to me was better when you listen to beats like when you listen to the um life after death and shit like that and get Richard die trying or ill-matic to me the beats was like totally different not taking that from what the producers doing now and the sound now because I listen to everything yeah you know I listen to future gunner you know everybody but I to me the beats back then was

different yeah a Swiss beat a Timberlin beat you know what I'm saying you know Dre beat who else Scott Storge beat it was just like come on and that shit and that kind of music lasts forever like we We, we, we, we, 30 years in the game, and we still touring. Like I just said, we just came back off tour. Yeah. You know, we're fifth. And we still touring. Still.

And I do my own tours, too, for people, oh, yo. You see, he, hey, he be glad you. I did my own tours. I did tours in Canada. I did a tour across the whole Germany and the Swiss out. And that's why I don't care about the hate. Because I'm like, I got the possibility to do my own tour. Like, something with Memphis Bleak.

Yeah. Blake said to Norie. Yayo said, Jay-Z didn't have us on tour like he did. I eat my own halal. I eat my own halal, too. If you want to say that, to Mef Bleak, I'm on my, I just came off my last tour. All I'm saying is when you see Jay-Z and upsetting, he never really, when he's doing a Beyonce show or whatever, you don't see Memphis Bleak on the stage of him being brought out.

You know, even if I'm doing the hype man shit with 50, he's bringing me out. I'm making money. I'm going to that man girl too. That's it. That's Hove's wife tour. Yeah, that's Hove, yeah, Hove Wife tour. So if I, if Hove, I believe if Hove was out on his own, he would bring Bleak out. There is no need for him to bring Bleak in a situation where I looked like this was last tour you're talking about with the Cowboy Carter.

Right. Yeah. So to me, because I look at bleak as a loyal guy. Yeah. I'm a loyal guy to check. But I look at like fifth. My guy Hervey, one day we had a TRL, and it's the young gun is there. Yeah.

And I'm talking about it. And Hervey says loud, you don't got to worry about nothing, you got 50. Jay-Z doesn't do nothing for these guys like 50 does. And Hervey, I think he worked with them too. But he said that to me, and I always stuck in my head, rest in peace to him. And he was like, yo, you got 50. Because 50 always, like for instance, when he dropped his album, he didn't have to drop it. He wanted to beg for mercy.

He wanted to drop G-Unit brand. Mm-hmm. He branded us on the way with him, you know, until his day. People knock me out the way. 50, 50. Sometimes your own security, his security, might knock you out the way. Or people might knock you out the way. I'm never going to feel away about a celebrity.

As long as I'm there and I'm getting what I deserve, you know, everybody can't be Beyonce. Everybody can't be Jay-Z. Yeah. Everybody can't be Nas. Everybody can't be Snoop. Everybody can't be Dre. Some of my f*** might be, um, um, uh, who were at Tupac, the outlaws. Yeah.

That's how always looked at it. Like, you got 50, you got G unit. You got Tupop, you got the outlaws. You got Snoop, you got dog pam. Right. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool.

You know, it's just, you want to always outdo you. Cube, got lynch mob. Yeah, lynch mob. It's cool. Everybody can't be Ice Cube. You know? Well, you're about to get in trouble again, because they say 50 gay you are gave you a ticket when you got out. Yeah.

I lived in Battery Park. I used to come out my apartment, see the Statue of Liberty, you know. Damn. A lot of . Look, when you look at a lot of rappers, where they die in their hood. Nipsey was doing a good thing for the community, right? Mm-hmm. But he died in his hood.

Stack bundles, good rapper, one of the best rappers ever. Where he died, he died in his hood. Freaky Ty, grew up with him, watch him, dope rapper. He died in his hood. What's up with that? Because the hood. The streets never really got no love, man. You could feel like, I think I always felt like when I looked at Freaky Tire,

I used to buy niggas sneakers and look out for anything. You should be, you should be, I mean, you should be applauded and you're like, he made it. Man, one of our guys that grew up in this block that grew up over here, grew up like us, he made it out. They should applaud that. They shouldn't be envious of that. Nah, man, you're always going to be a target. And the law I'm like, that's how I always look at it.

We're always going to be a target. That's how I look at it, especially in the hood. Because we all rappers die at any hood. They don't die in the suburbs. No way else, they die in their hood. But then why do people get mad talking about, well, he don't come back. He don't come back to the hood. He don't do nothing in his hood.

I mean, you could do for the hood. You don't have to be there, you know. You can feed everybody with a long spoon. I'm Dan. He's Ty. Hello. And we're the solid verbal college football podcast. College football season is here, and you know what that means.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. You don't got to be there all the time. You might not have time to be there. It's cool. 50 got charities and do shit for people. Yeah. We might not be there all the time. Niggas giving out turkeys and hood

and giving clothes and coats and doing shit and G-Hunit Foundation. You know, you ain't got to do that. Like, I work with a foundation through the Knicks, right? And they give back to families that, you know, when they lose somebody or financial distress or, and it's called a garden of dreams, too, shout out to them.

You know, it's Joe, it's the owner of the Knicks. Okay, you know, Dolan. Yeah, Dolan. And they give back to families that lose parents, they can't bury him. Somebody dies in the family. sickness, school, mentorship. I went there, I talked to some of the kids.

They boogie works with him. I work with him. I talk with Central C, rapper with him. Like, that's what it's about, it's giving back. Because at the end of the day, you can have all the money, the jury, you could have as much money as more, Lloyd Mayweather. You could show everything, 2,000 cars.

You might not like you for that. It's all about giving back, bro, at the end of the day, because that's what people are going to remember you for and being humble. That's one thing. Look how far I've been going humble. In the past two years, I got myself hot. Started praying, started, you know, leaving a lot of shit alone, streets, and started really focusing on myself. And I realized, like, my podcast deal, working on that now. Bad Joe, volume up. Norrie wanted to give me a deal. Like, and I'm on, after this, prices go up. I hope y'all know. Prices go up after this. You know, so, like, and just praying. Right. And that my life has been way better, bro. Way better. Yeah, what do you learn about money?

Oh, man. The money thing about money is save it. Because save it for a rainy day. Because, you know, you know, as when you first get on and you make all these purchases and you buy this, one thing about fifth, he always was like tight with his money, M&M, tight with his money. So you learn to kind of save instead of spending. And, like, my first purchase, and my biggest purchase was a house. Right.

You know, I bought a nice house in Long Island, and then I bought another house. You know, so, like, 50 encourages, yo, you get money, go get a house. That's like Uncle Murder. He's down with us now. He was signed to Jay-Z. He got his first house being down with us. Right. That's my man.

Wow. Because Fifth's going to say, you're going to make a whole bunch of money with Fifth. You know, you go on tour. But you've got a thing. You go on tour, you make a quick half a million million. Yeah. You know. Shout to young Buck.

Buck was my nigga, but he was the most impulsive spender in June. You know, he'll make a half a million. And at that time, we're so young, we're not thinking about the quarter million. You got to give taxes. Yeah. Right?

So he'll make the half a million, right? I'm going to buy this car. I'm going to buy this car. I'm going to buy a chain. You go to his house. You know, I got a nice bed. Buck bed. He had the TV coming out of the bed.

He got an all-white room. His daughter got a door explore room. Then they got the Bentley, Shevel, this, that. And you're spending the money as you get it. You can go on tour. Say you make a half a million in two months. You're not thinking about the leisure time that you got to pay them taxes. You don't spend that money.

Yeah. Now you're like, now you got to go to like a JZ or 50 and be like, oh, man, I might need a loan on this. But this shit is business. You don't spend that money on your own. So I never ever blame them for my mistakes and nobody should. Because you got to learn shit on your own. My motherfuckers ain't think about that. That's a tough lesson to learn at the time, though.

Because anytime, especially once you get to a certain tax bracket, whatever you make, you have that. But then people around, let me tell you something. The people that's around a Beyonce, a 50, a Jay-Z, and Nas, they don't give a fuck about the niggas that's around. They don't give a fuck about, yeah, oh, thanks, this nigga, this nigga. They care about 50 cent. That's it.

So they're not going to school you the game. We don't go to school, and we don't learn about real estate and taxes and shit like that. Because they're no, that's their, that, 50 is their responsibility. Hove is hit their responsibility. They don't give a fuck about the nigger. The auxiliary pieces, they don't care about that. They just know you got this money and some people are going to figure out a way to monopolize. Like, I'm going to tell you.

And I'm not mad at them, but shy money and 50's baby moms turning the real estate agents when they know we had house money. So I bought my house with shy money or for shy money lady. And it's cool. We kept the money in. in the family, but they knew to turn in the real estate. These niggas got some money. I could make some money off them.

Right. But school me to gain, because I might not probably bought a house for a million at that time. I could have bought a house for probably a half a million. Right. Am I wrong or right here? You're right. My first purchase might not have to been a million dollar house, but that's more money for them at the same time, too.

But as you get older, you realize that. And I don't take nothing from shop money. He's a good dude, but he made profit, him and his business. lady or for selling me that house it was a smart move on their part but people never care about the niggas that's around me I'm not listen nobody ever cared about Yale only person they care about Yale is 50 right they only going to do shit if 50 say do it the lawyer's only going to move with 50 say to do it the hotel's going to be nice only if 50 say do it they don't have put me in a cracket hotel you know what I'm

saying but 50's not now he's gonna be in this hotel and that's why I got the respect for him. It's not glazing. It's not dick riding. No, you get credit where it's due. You give credit where it's due. That's it. That's it. It's not my show. It's his show. And one thing I never forget. I do clubs. You know, House of Blue shit like that. I don't do arenas.

I ain't Chris Brown. I ain't 50. I ain't Jay-Z. And I'm cool with that. When I'm on stage and I'm in front of 30, 40,000, these people ain't screaming for Yale. They're screaming for 50 cents. I do my job because it's a business. I'm cool with everybody in production.

stay out the way. I don't bother nobody and I keep it moving. That's it. I get my money and that's it. You're gone. Yeah. Your debut album, thoughts over predicate felon, you went gold. You finished second place to late registration Kanye.

You're like because Kanye album. Yeah, Kanye fucked me up that year. I never forget it because he was like, who was the president at that time? Bush? Yeah. He was like, the president is racist. And remember, he went viral before going viral was what it was.

Yeah. I always had obstacles in my career. Like, I dropped the same day as Kanye. Guy locked, came home, got locked up. I'm used to it, bro. But I'm still here, man. You know, but that was crazy. I probably would have went platinum that same day if it wasn't for Kanye.

But he dropped. And you know what's crazy about my career? Because I remember seeing Kanye in the studio with Dr. Drake. Yeah. And I didn't even know who he was. He was nobody at that point. Because at that time, he was probably just doing beats then, right? He wasn't rapping.

Before the accident, he was doing beats. He was in Dre's studio. He was in 50-year. I think he was trying to get on the album. I didn't know who he was. And now I look at him like, oh, shit, this is Kanye West. Damn. I remember when Ludacris did radio.

50 beat up Jaru in Atlanta, punched him in his eye. He had a black eye running around. Ludacris was doing radio. That really happened? 50 points of Jail. 50 always beating up Jowru, man. That was like regular. thing that so i ruin them they they've never really been tough guys to me like irv i don't

really know them they just had a tough guy image because they was around you know um pring pring chris goddy just had a story he's talking about he closed line 50 playing 50 don't even play basketball niggas just make up shit because it's the internet like i don't try to glorify this gangster shit but jaru has never been a street nigga right then we trying to get 50 to respond huh 50 50 50 a real street nigger you know uh you i saw some lady talking about well you know 50 was one of those little guys 50 never said he was a kingpin but you but you know what i'm talking about when that lady was saying that was that was his bm that said that i think oh okay so she's going and he had a whole bunch of yos i didn't even

work for 50 he had a whole bunch of little yos people always try to discredit you 50 was 50 oh look 50 was 15 with a forerunner he was 16 17 with a bens niggas was getting money i don't glorify because we was pumping poison the hood so it's not a something to glorify But you're just speaking factual, though, what was going on? We, we was, niggas wasn't El Chapo. Niggas wasn't Pablo. We was happy. A nigga to get to a brick in the hood, he's happy.

You get to a half a bird. You get to 150 grams, 250 grams, niggas was happy. I felt like El Chapo, I had 250 grams. Oh, shit, I'm at 250. Oh, shit. Of course. But now we look at that money as it's nothing. That's the whole point.

Niggas are dying in the hood over bullshit money. Look how far we've been now. Now that's not even one show. People are always going to try to discredit you and say shit, bad shit about you, you know, and be mad because you might not give them. Money is a, I don't never want 50s money. I don't never want that much money.

Money is a, everybody's out to get you. Give me Jimmy Iveen's that. I don't want to be, no, listen, give me a little bit of money, and I'm good. It's like, once a nigga get you up. You want the fortune, but not the fame to come along. It's like once the nigga get to $100 million, he's fucked or something. Give me $10 million, $20, I'm good.

When you went out, when you aiming to get $100 million, it's like everybody's coming for you, lawsuits. Dude, stick up kids. It's just too much, bro. Give me a simple life. Simple. What's it like working with Dre in the studio? Dre is the best experience up in the studio, man.

We used to smoke that Guido. He had his guy in there playing the piano. He was playing nothing but hits. Like I said, like Kanye came in. there um he played records with rakem he had you know at that point he had a girl named brooklyn he had uh shout jo beats at that time he had game he had a whole bunch of artists because a lot of artists was dope this dray is just a real picky like because you don't want to work he didn't work with you when they ain't coming out like he did records with dip set that

shit ain't never come out he did records with certain people it ain't never coming out but he's like a real particular nigger like i remember he used to tell 50 do one line over and over and over again do it over say it like this and I understood sometimes it's not what you say it's how you say it dray is a perfectionist as well as them and m&m so that that was an experience I'm gonna from the hood never had nothing never even been to L.A I remember we were staying at the Beverly 50 was told my man me and my man wheezy he was like yo don't touch the M&Ms in the shit you know the M&Ms in the hotel yeah they like $16 he's like whatever you went we could just go to the store I know my man

man, he was mad at my man because he touched the M&M. Right. Till his day, I still buy that shit. I'm in the fountain blue over here. I stay there. I'm like, $20 for a Fiji water. I'm like, yo, I'll just go to the store. Right.

And my man, Funk, take me a store order for $3. I'm a hood, niggas, never going to leave me. You know, you can take me out of the hood, but it's always in me. You got to be in the studio with Beyonce. Beyonce is one of the hardest working women, hardest working people. I don't want to general, I don't want to say man or woman. But to see what she's become from where she came?

She was big back then and was in the studio. I remember tone and poke kicked everybody out. 50 had a record, what I call Thug Love. And it was all in the studio when they kicked everybody out. It was Thug Love. This was before 50 got shot because 50 was going to blow off power to Dahl. He had Beyonce. He had Tone and Polk.

Track Masters at the time was very big. He was working with big artists, Pete Did he. They was working with Al Kelly. They was working with J.Lo. They was working with everybody. And the niggas got kicked out of the studio. Couldn't be in the studio. That's when it was Destiny Child.

But yeah, it's crazy when you see a lot of artists even become bigger than you. It's amazing. You're like, damn, shit. I'm not mad at my career, but their career took well off past mine. Like I said, to see Kanye where he was at or to see Luda. I think the most impressive thing that I've seen in my lifetime might be Beyonce. in one genre and then go to another genre.

Yeah, she's out of here. You can't with the bees, man. That's just, you know. It's crazy. A million dollar shit, man. She's crazy. Yeah, Beyonce is on a whole other level. You know, to me it's

Beyonce, Taylor Swift, they neck and neck. Yeah. It ain't nobody else close. Not in, not, I don't know if there's any, it's, I mean, not in the women's space, ain't nobody close to those two. Nah, nah, there's them two show-wise.

Yeah. neck and neck to me because I feel like Beyonce came first and then they made Taylor Swift they had to make something like a match Beyonce and it's cool I'm gonna tell Taylor Swift I don't really listen to like Beyonce right you know they neck and neck that's ridiculous the shows and tickets they sell I read you went to Jimmy Avine's mansion yeah that was that was crazy that was crazy because he lived he lived right across the street from the Playboy Mansion right so that was like so he and what you call him he and a homebills yeah he had FBI guys with

dogs like it was crazy he had a movie theater and shit tables was spinning yeah you know people serving us as the tables were spinning he had a uh uh candy store in the movie theater it was like crazy man i had never seen nothing like that real money man and my first in my first time ever leaving the hood going to cali like damn she's crazy you're like i don't want this much money i do like that much money but shit you know what comes to low whitney like yeah i know you got to be low key you got to be on the low you have to be low key because them lawsuits 50 caught a lot of lawsuits because a lot of beat downs who's getting your jawbrook 50 000 50 I'm suing you in 50 so they got nothing to do with 50 yeah but people will associate the name

yes that's like one of your camera guys he slapped somebody right now I'm showing you and shay yeah you slap me right me going to sue you too I was like go ahead we make it even slap him That's all I got for you, now. He'll slap it back. Yo, bro, when you were in the lawmline, like you're a walking lawsuit. He in the Hall of Fame, man, this brother. Oh, shit.

He got slapped me. I got slapped by Shayshay. You slapped me, Shaysay. You might fall to the ground now. That's how a motherfucker look at it. Dave Chappelle. Oh, man, Dave Chappelle, like I said, man. And so many Jews he got, I told you,

when he was out there, I think we was in Ohio. I think we was in Ohio. We went to a store. He's a real laid-back guy, no cameras. But I told you, you know, why you turn out all that money? My belly was full. God made my belly full. The most humblest thing I heard my life from somebody.

He don't care about jewelry. No. It's just farmland, nice air. They tried to take away, see, the thing that makes Chappelle special, they tried to take away something he never prioritized. Right. which was money and fame. Yeah.

So when they tried to strip it from him, it didn't bother. Right. So now he can just like, I'm performing at such and such, and it's sold out in five minutes. Yeah. So when they take something

that wasn't important to you to begin with, it can impact you. That's crazy. But you know other people in public and other friends and family, I know they're gonna look at you crazy. He turned down 50 million. That's crazy.

But he never valued that. That's why when he loved, when they Hollywood turned his back on him. You ain't see him go back, try to beat down doors and try to get back into acting. You ain't see him try to get another show. No. Because you tried to take something that he didn't value to begin with. You can only harm someone if you take something that they value.

Right. Yeah, that was a sponge for me when he said that. Carl got my belly full already, yeah, yo. Like, damn. When you hear somebody turn that amount of money, because people are, you know, kill selling himself for that kind of money. Yeah, for sure. He's turning it down.

I'm like, wow. And he said Carl got my belly full. That was a jewel for me, man. Definitely 100%. When you saw John Cena do your dance, what did you think? Oh, man, that was crazy. He always gave me props, though. He always said his brother emptied him up to do it.

And he always gave me my props. I wish I would have made some money off a bit, though, some way, somehow. That dance was actually made with 50 son Marquise, because I was on the run. And I think he was at that video shoot. And I always used to go, what are he going to do when the, I remember him as a kid, What are you going to do when the police are you on TV, A-O? And I'd be like, I'm just going to do this dance. Because, remember, I was in the club on the run.

Right. That's where it originally came from. In the club video shoot. Good times, man. I tell you, I have more fun before the money came. Right. Well, they brought it back because I think Angel Reese did it. Yeah, she did it.

You know, she's definitely an entertaining basketball player. I think she had a double double over night. Yeah. And John Sina just, he made it to him. Yeah, John Sina, yeah. But he always gave me my props for it, admit to it. So, you know. You mentioned this earlier.

I saw it down with Fat Joe. And I asked, I say, Fat Joe, Yale was telling the story. I think you guys were at a radio station. And you tried to make peace, and you went to dapp him up. Yeah, well, Callie. No, that was Callet. Callet. Yeah.

Well, Calid would tell the story. I told my man Nelson, right? Yes. I told him, I said, Yo, listen, I don't want to seductive was out. Meanwhile, my street team's getting chased around

because street team used to go through a junior street team, used to get shot at, chased, beat up, all kinds of shit. So my street team was going at it because you put a Yale post up, 50 post up, motherfuckers on you, right? I told him I don't want to go to radio.

We go to radio. Cal is there. Did you know he's going to be there? Yeah. Okay. My man Nelson, because sometimes people that do radio, really, they understand radio, but they don't understand the street politics. Right. I told him, let's skip this. We don't have to do this. Right.

Yo, we got to do this. I make sure I go up there correct. He got his guy there. I'm not going to say no names because, like Cali said, he didn't want to say no name. He know who he is. He's a street, nigger. He's well-known. He's certified.

and his waist is bulging, right? From that day on, I knew it was on. This is Florida. Niggers got choppers and all kind of shit. I'm not taking nothing lightly because I leave New York. I'm not one of them New York niggas to think, well, I'm from New York,

we're the toughest. I know I can get it in St. Louis. I know I can get it in Atlanta. I know I can get it in Florida for show. I know I'm getting in the phone. I'm a paranoid, nigga. That's what kept me alive in the whole time. You know what I'm saying?

That's what keep you alive. For sure. Paranoid. So, you know, I went to shake Calla hand, and he did what he was supposed to do. You, yeah, yo. You know, at that time, he was getting extremely hot. Because here's the thing, now, if you know Callie, Kelly's all about, he's one of them guys.

So for Callie, not to shake your hand or to say what you... But we're the industry most hated, though. That's what I'm trying to tell you. To this day, they still hate us. You know, do Lowie Banks get his credit? No. Do Yale get his credit? Do 50 get his credit?

Yeah. When 50 do shit, that's amazing. They always going to praise 50. Right. You know, but everybody don't get their credit. Game, do we get his credit right now? Right. Even Buck.

I can't take nothing away from none of them. We all sow records and did big things. But do we get our credit? No, because G-Unit was the most hated. Our separation with game is game one to do his own thing. Right. Collaborative of our artists. When you look at it in hindsight,

he didn't have to be loyal to 50 because everybody ain't going to be loyal to 50, Everybody ain't going to be a Yale. Everybody ain't going to be at Banks. He more wanted to do his own thing. When you look at it in hindsight, it's cool. Right. It's just the way he went about it.

Just a little more humble, you know? Because game, I remember when he called me to be on his album, and I was like, damn, hell, yeah, that's dope. I remember speaking to his moms and she's like, yo, I'm happy for him. Right. You know? I'm one of them niggas that embrace any nigger that come to the team, Because I thought it was family, but then when I realized about the industry, it's not, these people ain't your friends and family, it's just business.

Is there ever, is there, I shouldn't say ever, chance. We have a percentage. Fiff, Yale, banks, buck, gain. I would love that. That would make us a lot of money. But. 50 don't need the money, though. 50 is done with it.

He's done with it. He, you know, he don't care about June it no more. He's passed on the films and got a shit in Shreveport going on and liquor and all kinds of shit. But as for me, I look at it like I wish a lot of shit just didn't happen. You know, Buck was a dope artist, game is a dope artist. Banks, I still talk to Banks this day, you know, but that would be dope. And even if it couldn't be Game and Buck, if it was me Banks and 50 and do like a mixtape

tour, that would be cool with me. because that's who I really grew up with. Right. That's why I can't never get mad at Biggs. I mean, mad at game. Game was from L.A. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

He ain't grew up with you guys. Yeah. Buck wasn't from Tennessee. He didn't grow up with us. But for me, me outside looking in, I'm seeing dudes with cars and jewelry. And I'm like, damn, motherfuckers ain't happening. But, you know, the thing about groups

and what music is, there's always egos. Yep. That's why you can't have a self-destruction in the music game now. It's too many egos. Yeah. Jay Z, Nives, 50, you can't put them in the room and make a we all the world record. Too many egos.

Fat Joe say, man, I wish I had me a Tony Yale. So I'd give my right hand to have a Tony Yale. I love Fat Joe. Fat Joe's working on a deal for me, that right now for my podcast. I'm Dan. He's Ty. Hello. And we're the solid verbal college football podcast.

There's, you know, I've been interviews where I do 18 million views, $24 million worth of game. You know, so now I want to transition to the podcast. This is what I want to do because I can talk forever, man. Yeah.

So now you want to, you know, instead of people asking you questions, you want to ask other people questions. Maybe you can put me on. Maybe Shay Shay can put me on. What are you doing? We can get some info. We can get some info. Yeah, we need some info.

You keep some bulljab going. What? You took a shot at the jaw. Jaru? Yeah, about the little ticket sales. Listen. Why you got to do that, yeah? Man, okay, the man ain't selling like he once did.

It's okay. He's not, he's not Fiff. He's not going to be Fiff, and that's okay. Why you got to keep jigging? You know what it is with Jaru? It's just, you know, it's just something till the day we're not here. I just would never like you. But he's low-hanging fruit, dude.

You don't got to, that's true, but you ain't got to, you ain't got to like me. It's the thing is, you know, He was winning. All you had to do was stay in your lane. You shouldn't even even answer 50, but 50 played the chess game with you and beat you at your own game. You know what it is with them? They was blessed, and they tried to block 50's blessings.

And that's what fucked them up because God don't like others. I once heard of somebody say that. They tried to block 50s blessings when they was blessed already. You should have just left it alone. Yeah, you should. You know? My grandma used to say this all the time. My grandma said, boy, God don't like ugly.

Sometimes he don't like pretty. Yeah, and even with the earth things, like, I didn't say nothing bad about him when he passed away, but it's still, and if some, God forbid, happened to me or 50 or anybody in our group, I know it would be fuck us. Sometimes life is just like that. Some people will just never get along, and it's cool. So you're going to be, you're going to be arguing with John. You're a hundred years ago? I'm not even arguing with John. I just don't f*** with John. I don't fuck with a lot of people in the industry, Shet. Right. They're not my friends. I had to realize that the hard way. You got stabbed, you were in the fight with,

and you got stabbed. I got cut. It was nothing serious. Got cut right here. Yeah. A little scar right there and a little scar on the finger. It just looked like a lot because blood was coming out. Right.

But it was scratches. That could have went left, because that thing was there. If it was in that room, there would be no Jaru. There would be no 50. I put that on my father. There would be no Jaru. There would be no 50. If somebody would have squeezed, somebody would have went to jail,

to jail and Ja-Rood have been finished. They came with crutches and butcher knives and fruit shit. Like, come on. They didn't come with no artillery. We had artillery. But if that gun was in that room, and I shit you not, if that gun, the 45

with no safety, was in that room, there would be no J-R-Roo. Or whoever else was in that room, his brother, Irv, brother, whoever was in that room when we was getting it on. You said earlier that you thought the Drake and the Kendrick beef was good.

Yeah. For who? For hip-hop? For Kendrick? I think it was good for hip-hop, because at that point, all we was listening to was sexy red. That's why my man,

my man, strike work in the club. Like, that's all I was playing in the club of Sexy Red. I'm like, oh, shit, this is hip-hop. I come off a battle rap. KRS won, M.C. Shan. Yep. You know what I'm saying? N.P.

BDP. Nass. Yeah, Ether versus Jay-Z, big time hip hop, 50 J-Roo, Tupac, Macaveli, this and Diddy, this and Jay. Even this prodigy. Yeah. Rest and Peace of Prodigy. A prodigy was my joint. Corrupt and Dad.

Remember we had L-A, L-A, L-A, they had New York, Dog Pound, had New York, New York, and Big City of Dream. L-L and Fabb. L-L and who? Cannabis. Yeah, cannabis. Cannabis. Yeah, cannabis. Not bad.

Oh, come on. Cannabis. Second round knockout, cannabis came in one. L.L. was working. Um, Door Pound when they had, um, New York, New York, Big City of Dreams. Remember that back in the day? I think they got shot at, too, Snooping them when they came to New York.

When they shot that video, there was a rumor. I don't know how real that is. I love Uncle Snoop and Dog Pound, but, and then Prodigy and them had L-A-L-A, Big City of Dreams because Pock was this and them. Right. That was hip-hop. I'm not going to sit here and not say I didn't listen to Machiavelli. Yeah.

But I'm definitely listening to Biggie who shot you. I'm not going to say I didn't like that. That was hip-hop. You listen to hit them up. Yeah, of course. But then Biggie came back with all kinds of shit, who shot you, you know what I'm saying? Biggie is, come on. Biggie and Pop Beef, I think that that was entertainment for the world at that point, even though it's sad that they both died because of the situation.

They didn't keep it on wax. Let's act like we didn't like that battle. Let's act like magazines and publications. What we had back then, Bob, yeah, yeah. Come on, New York, L.A. West Coast. coast beef, each coast, west coast, let's act like, come on, bro. How did Jay-Z and Big Pun disin' 50? Remember 50 had how to rob back in the day.

And he was talking about, I robbed pun without a gun, rest and peace the pun. Right. And Jay-Z, you remember he had that joint, I'm about a dollar. That was a big hit record, too. Right. He said, I'm about a dollar. What the fuck is 50 cent? I forgot.

Was that on the, what album was that? That was hard knock like? No. Yeah, because 50 dissed him on Harder Rob. Right. See, Harder Rob was a crazy record because that's the first time a rapper actually kind of dissed every rapper.

Right. But it was comical because the mad rap. No rap, rad rappers on there, Rodney Jerkins. Right. He said, this ain't serious, but the rappers took a serious because it's all about image. Rappers don't want to hear their name. She can get real. Yeah, for sure.

Pun, pun, snatched up a old kid back in the day for leaking up a record. Who kid always talk about it? Do a minute. Man, Pund wasn't playing with niggas. Like, they're serious. Seren niggas ain't going on. Yeah, Joe and them is really like that.

For real. Yeah, Joe and them, the Bronx. Because of that bad, but he would be, uh, somebody called, uh, Jonokio. What? Like Joe be, like, say Joe be, you know, be stretching the truth. Listen, he, his stories is funny as hell, but. I like crack.

The beef we had, I love crack. Like Pistled Pete. Yeah. And Joe and the niggas that was around with serious. serious because like Bronx Spanish niggas in the Bronx is as dangerous as black people in the Bronx Wow they dangerous too you know you got Spanish gangs trinitarios yeah you got Dominican power you know these pull out machetes and shit they you know they from the struggle too right you know and the motherfuckers that he had around them niggas would they would die for the for the

cause pistol pete and all them they would they would I think they would have died for Joe as well as we felt like we would die for 50 right they felt the same way help me understand because 50 had a great shoe with Reebok at the time i think j was the creator director of rebots how did that go i mean everybody making money how did it how did it fall apart yell i don't i don't even i honestly don't know i know i was making over 100 000 a year just wearing the shoe and we wasn't wearing it and i know 50 got mad at us one day because you know you got dion i got d on louis on whatever and 50 looked that everybody's shoes and was like, nigga,

none of you got the shoes on. Because he knew what marketing was. Yes. He wore the junior. The unit clothing was selling, he wore it. You know, he wasn't wearing it. We was wearing Louis Baton, shit like that. They wouldn't pay you no money, though.

No, we got to pay. Not for Louis Vuitton. No, I'm not from Louis Vuitton. But that's what I'm saying. That's what he understood the marketing aspect of it. It's like, how can you expect us to sell something that you're not wearing? I mean, we do it until this.

day. I got on Louis-Bitton right now. You got on Dior, but I got a black brand right here, top flexor and another black brand. I mean, if I had a, what's the color? If I had a shoe, I'd be having on my shoe. No, that's cool. You should have had your shoes. I wear them too. Now, we're going to see you a bottle. We're going to see you able to bottle of shake. Yeah, send me a bottle. Like, I don't, I don't mind supporting, like, sometimes I feel like we'll support other brands and we will support other people's brands. Like the guy that I'm wearing this top flexer, I'm not getting paid for this. Right. G-Unit, they're not cutting me a check for this.

I just like the hoodie. But I like wearing, you know, people at the hungry brands, too. I don't mind. I like Kiff. I love Ameri. I love Louie. I love that too. But I want to, you know, buy other stuff too.

Yeah. And look, we'll spend big-time money like a Louave shirt. Yeah. You want to buy a T-shirt? That's $650 for a short-sleeve. That chrome hard. A t-shirt. And a dude in the hood might have a shirt as well as that.

It might be selling that for $150. and we don't want to support. Come on, man. We got a support. Come on. I agree. I agree. Even on tour,

I like to wear, like, other people brands. Max Siegelman, this guy's the next guy. He has deals with New York Knicks, Rangers, all these people. I still, you know, I wear his,

but I wear my man, Todd Plocher from the hood. They don't got nowhere near to me. Right. When 50 jumping on the stage with Jay Z, Dead, Et, T. Oh, yeah, I remember that. That was fun.

Like the garden. So what go, what are you, what's going through? your mind. He's like 50 will have lost his damn mind. This nigga crazy. I think you got to be a little crazy to be successful. Right. And that's what 50 is. 50 is really crazy. He'll say I'm crazy, but he's crazy. Right. Like right now, we did a tour. We did dates. He flew to Australia to do street fighter. I'm like, this nigga going to go fly 23 hours in Australia. He don't even want to take a break. You know, like he's crazy. Something's really wrong with him. Right. I'll be

looking like he'll go to the gym three times a day. You know, he's doing push-ups. I'm doing push-ups. I'm rolling up. I got cannabis to him walking through Paris. You know, I got my coniac. You know, we're totally two different lifestyle. Right.

But he's going to the gym three times a day, getting ready for the street fighter film or getting ready for what he do. And, you know, I respect it. But everybody ain't 50 cent, man. Right. Dave Blunt diss 50. You think 50 going to respond?

Nah, man. Sometimes, as a matter of fact, he said he pushed him down some steps or something, right? I think he said that, right? He said to push him down some steps. But sometimes I'll be like, 50, you're on a whole other level where you don't have to respond. You don't have to respond to certain people or say certain things like Meach or Little Meach or Ross or Dave Bluntz. Because these guys are not doing what you're doing. They're not going on tour.

They can't even, some of these guys can't even, let's keep it real, can't make it. to these markets. The big dogs with Live Nation, dog. Right. You know what I'm saying? 50. Nass.

Jay Z. Probably Bon Jovi. Right. Live Nation, like, these dudes ain't getting Chris Brown. Live Nation. These dudes ain't getting

200 million out deals. 400 million out deals. It's levels, bro. 50's on a whole other level. And I'm not glazing, as they say, that's what they say glazing. That's the way.

That's the turn. I ain't glazing. It's just the truth. It's levels. Some, you know, Drake, I'm not on Drake level. I'm not on Kendrick level. It's cool. Yeah.

You know, some of these dudes getting $5 million, the weekend. These guys might get a million dollars for a walkthrough. It's levels to this shit. Nikki, you know, it's levels and it's cool. You just realize there's levels to the shit. You ain't mad at nobody. Yeah. There's a lot of people 50, I feel like he don't have to say nothing,

but 50's crazy. He's been like this his whole life. And he's on the block, oh, shit, 50's coming. Just because I'm not on, just because you're not on someone level doesn't mean I'm not pretty damn high up. Yeah. Because sometimes you may, a lot of times the mistake that we can make, Yale, is that we measure our success by somebody else's. Exactly. It's just I hate when motherfuckers bump me out the way.

50, 50. I just don't like that. Hey. I hate that. You know, like, I just hate that. Just don't bump me out the way all the time. You want to be 50? Cool.

on the whole number of love. Like I said. What the move on the way it is? Shit, you know, they come up from 50? Listen, all I'm saying to you is this. I want to be the to leave my room. Yeah, for sure. You know, you can have the sweet, Beyonce, JZ, 50,

y'all can have the sweets. Yeah. I want to leave my room. I want to go to the hood and get a beef patty with cocoa bread sometimes. I want to go get some macaroni, yams, chicken. I want to do that. And I'm good doing that. Right.

Do you know? Would you ever get married? Yeah. Why not? I think sometimes the industry keep you from getting married. Just got to pick the right kind of lady. Yeah. See, I like my ladies from the hood.

I don't like nightlife. I don't stripers, bartenders. They cool, they're beautiful women. I like women straight from the hood. She can have a nine to five and look as good as them. So for me, you know, I can get married. It's about that time soon. It's about cut time.

It's coming down. Yeah, it got to happen soon. Nobody wants to die alone. I don't die lonely. Right. Is that what you're... So you only go get married because you don't want to die alone? You probably should have thought about that earlier.

You're right? But nobody want to die lonely. And I think... You don't want to die lonely or you don't want to die alone? Because there are two different things. You can be lonely and not be alone. You can be alone and not be lonely. I never thought about that.

I don't want to die either way. But what I'm saying is, you know what? You know what it is? Because when you look at everything, everything is based on money. like on money. Yeah. Right? So it's like,

I got a lot of money and be like, oh shit, she's going to have half of this or half of that. Like, what's the football player just got married?

Travis Honor. And he's getting divorced, right? Is he? That's what they said. That's the rumor going around. His wife went 40. Man, I ain't looking, man. I ain't,

if it's on the internet, I ain't believe in it. Listen. Well, that's going around. Now, that's dumb. You know what I'm saying? Right. I understand.

Safeguard your shit. You make a certain amount of money. Of course, safeguard it. You know, give you a lady something I guess or whatever you want to do but just make sure you safeguard give it that Cristiano Ronaldo package right I think people look at

marriage as a business it is it is it's a transaction between two people we shouldn't look at it like that though because when our parents got married they didn't look at it like that yeah but the parents when our parents they didn't have money exactly they weren't in the business they were in currently

but see that's the thing about money you can have money and still not be happy for sure absolutely that's the thing and then you have a you come on like put it like this having money and having kids when our parents it was not even about that no right that's how I'll look at it acting 50 got this thing going up in Shreveport you trying to get you trying to get you got to try to get down 50 get me a job I'm trying to get you listen I'm trying to do this podcast thing I got cannabis deals going on I'm still doing shows on my own right like I said I was just in Germany I did my first show in the Swiss Alps you believe

that? Wow. Me, I couldn't ski for shit. I wasn't trying to ski. Right. Skying is not for me. I'm seeing little kids come down the slopes because where's the level? I think it goes red, black. Yeah, they got different levels that you get on. Yeah. Man, you ever ski before? Nope. I never tried that shit. I was bugging. But, you know, five-star restaurants. Living a life. I live in the moment, man. Like I'm living in a moment here. I'm on Shay Shay Show. Have you ever been Starstruck? All the time. Who made you Starstruck?

Daddy King, Koogee rap, Wesley Snipes, the Kardashians, Mike Tyson. But my starstruck is I always keep my composure. Right. I'm like, ah, not like that, no shit like that. But you think it to yourself, like, damn, I can't believe. Yeah, because we're from New York. So New York, they could see a rapper, see a Nause, and they might be as, yo, Nyes, what up, Fab, what up?

New York, we never be extra. Yo, Joe, you know, 50, what are? Yo, yeah, yo, what up? That's New York for you. New York ain't glazing nobody. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But for me, I'm starstruck in a silent way.

Like, but I'm going to say something to Tyson. Like, Tyson told me to expand my horizons with the caviar. He didn't, he didn't remember. You like it? Hmm? Do you like caviar? Yeah, I'm a Hollywood. I'm a Hollywood now.

See, that's the thing. I can still eat a beef pad with cocoa bread, eat some caviar. Escar go in Dubai Some caviar pancakes You know I expand my horizon That's from Tyson Chappelle, my belly full You know Wesley Snipes

Dancing in the I don't watch New Jack City 300 times Yeah Yeah That's one of my favorites You know I'm a movie guy You tour with our Nause

Yeah That was an experience too Really? It was a Nostradamus experience It was me and 50 on his tour bus Had jungle All his people there That was crazy

That was a moment in life I met Jungle when we did Queens Bridge. Yeah. Nause probably wouldn't remember, but for me, that shit was big. And for me, what's crazy with Nause was, he had dropped Illmatic. You know, he's talking about weed and blunts, but he was on the bus reading books. So that shit was different from him. I'm like, damn, you should be quiet on here.

This nigga ain't smoking that weed. I'm an attic for sneakers, 20s of Buddha and chickens with beepers. So I'm like, I'm thinking it's going to be big blunts burning. Nah, this was reading books. Huh? Yeah. Niles was reading books, man. So I was like, damn, this shit, this shit real.

Jungle and them, of course, they wild out. Yeah, right, for sure. You know. But for me, I'm like, you know, this is reading books on here. Like, really reading and, like, that's how you knew he had them bars and was kind of smart because he was saying some shit, like, I f***ing with Niles. You were on a cat, you were on tour with cash money. Yeah, that was our first tour ever.

Me and 50 opened up for, um, cash money, Johnny, cash money and, um, Rough Riders. Wow Yeah That's when 50 had how to rob He was doing one record That's how far we came Wow

That was a long time ago Definitely Do you ever look back You're like damn You look at where you are currently And you look back Where you came from Do you like

I love it To me To me Like I was Like I said I listen to Fat Joe Jealous ones envy So we had beef with them

I listened to Wu Tang Had beef with them I don't like me till his day, but I f*** a ghost face. You know, we had beef with Wu-Tang. Like, I look up to DMX. Like, so it's like... You'll beef with everybody, damn. Yeah.

They're all friends with 50, though. You got the money. They're not friends with. I remember one time, we was with Wu-Tang, and they was like... I think it was risen them. And they was like, everybody come back there except for... I mean, we just want 50 back there. No, yeah, yo.

nobody. Damn. Yeah. Wu-Tang. I came up listening to them. You know? I got banned from MTV red carpet. Like, I know how the industry is.

Just 50. My whole career, just 50, just 50. But you're cool with that. Yeah, I'm cool with it. Don't bother me. You spoke about how Bleak said that fifth don't look out for you. Don't look out for him. Yeah, go ahead.

Go ahead. I don't want to cut you up. Yeah. No. That fifth. No. I said fifth look out. Yeah, Jay don't look out.

Don't look out for. They don't look out for you. Yeah, I don't think so. He said it. Bleak said it. Bleak said, Hove doesn't look out for me like Phil looks out for. And then he said he eats his home, holl out. He eats on his own.

I eat on my own too. Right. On my own tour. But now he's trying to take a shot. Yeah, because that, and it's a cool shot because I just came off to it. Right. When have you seen Bleak on tour? On his own.

Right. If he's doing something with freeway. and Siegel and them like that, it came to a point where 50 was helping Siegel. All I'm saying is when you look at a situation, Jay-Z is not a bad guy, Bleak is not a bad guy. No. I'm not saying it.

I'm saying to you that Jay-Z was all business with them niggas. Right. When Buck was up on his taxes, 50 a piece of them off. You know what I'm saying? When Prodigy bought a house and needed more money, 50 a piece of more. Proudrety of paying back. You understand what I'm saying?

I've seen shit like that. So in other words, you're saying Hove has always kept it business. Business. The thing with 50 is, it was business and we was friends. I don't feel like Bleak was Jay-Z friend. I don't feel like Young Guns was Jay-Z friend. I don't feel like Seen was Jay-Z friend. I mean, you should use early.

You probably should learn learned or known early on what type of relationship that it was. Definitely. So therefore, there is no misunderstanding at a later date and time. Yeah, so I've seen 50. But he shouldn't, he shouldn't measure his friendship by what you and fifth have. Yeah. But a lot of people do that. Yeah, definitely.

Man, my boy, man, I wish my boy looked out for me like that. Or I look for my boy, my boy don't look after me like you such as, okay, but y'all don't have the type of relationship that me and fifth have. Exactly. Like, I've seen been on a block with fifth. I don't know if Bleak was on a block with Jay. Right. I don't know that.

And I'm not taking nothing from him. I hear to blow shots or discrediting them. All I'm saying is I've seen fifth piece people off when they had tax problems. Right. Jay did it, but he did it with little Wayne later on. Right. He did it with Wayne. He helped Savage with an immigration lawyer.

Right. He helped DMX when DMX wanted to leave. I'm Dan. He's Ty. Hello. And we're the solid verbal college football podcast. College football season is here. and you know what that means. Your team is going to break your heart

Listen to Good Game with Sarah Spain on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. That's Rock Nation, right? That's Rock Nation, that's whole. We're not discrediting, but when have you seen him at that point when Young Guns and Bleak was there and Siegel was there?

Segal was left in the dust. Let's keep it real. That's how I looked at it. I'll take your word for that. Once he disrespect, cool, I understand. but if he didn't disrespect and a dude is loyal there it should be more opportunity right all I'm saying is when fifth have a tour

anger management tour me and banks everybody on tour MOP mob D any audits he had and put him on the platform right because I think I think the thing now is that a lot of people like is upset at Hove I don't know if the upset

may be too strong of a word but like he see Dame Dash going through it right now but Dame helped him and and he see dame struggling and he's not lending a hand out i just felt that at that point dame is taking so many shots do you feel like dame was too cocky though yeah yeah but forget the cockiness because tata and all of them other niggas is eating all of them other niggas that was over there yeah oh yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah boy maybe dame should have been a little humble and i don't got nothing against dame i love what dame but you can't take no shots at the man and they expect the man to help you yeah of course you don't talk shots at the man that's the same thing with buck and 50 or or game in 50. Once you take shots, I never... No, no, no, no, no, no. You're not going to take no shots at me and then get down on your luck

and you think I'm going to come through. Banks never took shots in no 50. Right. I never took no shots at 50. No. We're brothers. We might have a disagreement. Right.

But what I'm saying to you is it must have not been a brotherly relationship over there. It was more business. Right. And I understand hold with that because 50 didn't have to pay bucks taxes or help him

with that. It's business. Right. If I make a half a million, if you make me, a half a million and I spend $2.50 and I'd be like, shake, shake damn, I fucked up this money. Can you let me? No. And if you say no, right?

No. Because people always remember when you say no, they never remember. They never remember the yeses. Right? They don't remember. If you say no, is you in the room? No. They remember, they never remember the thousand yeses, only the one no.

Right. That's it. Man. Right? Yes. See? So if you say no, you make me a half a million. I spend a quarter million or maybe 300.

I'm like, yo, shit, I'm up, IRS with my back. And you say no, I'm mad at you now? No, that don't make no sense. You got to handle that on your own, brother. What does loyalty mean? If somebody says, Yale, what's loyalty to you? I think loyalty is not judging a person if they tell you something. Like, if they tell you something personal, like, if you tell me something you're going through.

We listen, we don't judge. I listen, I don't judge. I don't go back and tell 20 people. Thank you. I think loyalty is never looking at watching pocket watching. I think loyalty is never side out in a man's girl

or his side chick or whatever he has his wife or whatever it is. And I think loyalty is just being real. That's it. If Fifth was wrong, could you tell him that he's wrong? Fifth crazy, it's hard to tell that, that nigga, he's wrong.

It's like dealing with the Terrorist. It's hard to tell him. He's wrong. But I think you know your friends for who you are. Like I got this loud friend. I got this friend that's crazy. I got this friend that might be a troublemaker. I don't want to hang with him because he's going to get us in trouble. Yeah. Every time we hang with this. I think knowing your friends for who you are. Like I got friends that I might have talked to in a while, but I still love them. I still got a love for them. But you know your friends for who you are. This friend might be all about their self. Right. You might have that friend. This friend might be a trouble maker. I got a friend.

friend like that always start in trouble my man thirst i can say it's always starting trouble right i got a friend that maybe he's always a liar i got a friend that's crazy you know what i'm saying i think you know your friends for who they are except them for that yep i always tell people accept the person as they are not how you wish them to be and you'll be fine yep how do you people how do you get people to set their egos aside for the greater good because i think I think you kind of alluded to that a little bit in the situation with Buck and some of these other guys in G unit is that they weren't able to sit their egos aside for the greater good. Right, because in a group, there's always egos. All right, more girls like him, he got more money, he's more flashy, he's in shape, he got better cause, he got this.

Don't worry about that. Don't worry about what banks getting paid. Buck shouldn't worry about what banks getting paid. I shouldn't worry about what game being paid. Games sold more records to me. If he gets paid more than me, cool. Let's negotiate a price. My price might be lower than games.

Banks sold more records than Buck or Buck sold more records than him. We should be able to negotiate a price. It should be an junior tour without 50. And he says that. Like, it should be where we could sit down and be like, yo, we're going to go get this money. Like how you see Little Wayne and juvenile and everybody. But there was some beef with that because Turk got into a little beef.

And he got off the tour. but we all started off as friends why we can't get money together it's all about keeping the legacy alive you know with game our situation got sticky because of jimmy henchman was his management you know i feel like that beef i never had a problem with jimmy henchman that was inherited from chris liding chris liding and jimmy henchman never got him you know that was their thing we mess with Chris Lighting, Violator, rest and peace to him. You know, he was a big part of 50s career,

a big part of Fat Joe's career, a big part of L.L career, a big part of Foxy Graham career, a big part of Ditty career. A lot of artists and on and on. You know, he was a pillar of hip hop. He worked a tunnel, one of the most dangerous clubs to work at.

You know, I so always shout out Chris Lighty because I remember being that violator with Mona Scott, which is a genius. She got love of hip hop and all that stuff, right? You had James Cruz there, right? Which was a small guy.

You had Yandee, which was smart. You had Claudeyne, which worked with L.L. So that was like a part of the machine. But that beef was inherited. And the rest of the piece of my man, Lodi Mack. You know, we went down for, they said we slapped henchman, son. You know, the thing that wowed me about the henchman situation was, how you want to sue me and kill me?

You got it got to be one or the other You know my life When I write my book Listen when I write my book It's going to be one of the craziest books ever How you want to sue me and kill me And I could talk about this because Hinchman down for natural life

For selling drugs anyway He was putting drugs in like stereo speakers And shit like that Dumb shit. He was being watched Feds watch everybody in this business But there's no way you can sue me And want to kill me slap your son, cool, I understand.

You want to kill me. Just kill me. Or you could have took my, I always looked at that situation. Like, he could have, instead of killing my man Lodi Mack, supposedly, but he got arrested for it because all his niggas told on him. Right. Right. All the niggas that he had doing dirt with him shooting the mother house up. His driver, it's all documented.

I ain't snitching. I ain't telling it. It's all documented. It's all in paperwork. Those are the same niggas he had doing dirt. told on, right? But I looked at my man Lodi Mack, which, all right, we slap your son. I understand you want to kill somebody, right? Supposedly. And I didn't even slap it, son. My man did, right? Supposedly. And instead of, I think, killing my man, Lodi Mack, I think you should have just

kidnapped him, broke his legs, broke his arms, and we would have got the point. I understand when it comes to your kid, because it's your kid or anybody else's kid, I understand. But With that situation right there, rest of peace of my man, Lutti Mac, I always felt like y'all didn't have to kill him. Y'all could have just beat him up bad. Break his ribs, break his arms, break his legs. We would have got the point. I know I would have got the point. Damn, it was tortured this.

Cool. And drop him off. I'm quite sure he were in the set night. But he got unalived over some rap shit. And that's when there's a thin line between the industry and real shit. Yeah. And it's always been like that being with 50. It's bulletproof trucks and niggas getting shot at and all kinds of shit.

Serious. Even with the Jaru shit, like I said. If a pistol was in the room at that time, Jiru wouldn't even be here. He wouldn't be here. I would have finished him. I'm glad it wasn't no pistol in that jail. I wasn't no rap at that point. I was a street niggler.

So for me, that's what we lived by. And it's a sad thing. But coming in there, that's nothing but self-defense. 50 probably 50 would have did it or I would have did it. in and Jaru would have been out of here because the pistol was dead and that's how easy it is one decision would change anybody like but I'm glad that didn't happen because look how far we've been yeah you know as you sit here today what would you tell your younger sell stay out of trouble or stay out of trouble but sometimes it's not the artist it's the

entourage around you when you young and it's the energy around you and people around you that's why you see even with a lot of artists like you see dirk situation be niggas around you know what I mean you see um any artist nigg's getting in some shit could be the niggas around you it's not always the artist but you know who's gonna be the blame if something happened in shay shay there or I'm there oh shay shay was there that was his people that that happens ain't saying what the nigger did yeah niggas are saying yeah did that yeah i would tell my younger self stay out of trouble damn you got i think of um j cole wasn't j cole's supposed to sign with g you yeah j cole always shout to j cole he always

showed me loves j cole 50 was sleeping upstairs in this mansion and j cole was downstairs in the studio he was doing simbo i'm like yo 50 with the sign this mull 50 with the sign this mother Fendi was upstairs sleeping. Trey Kohl was downstairs, studio. And Nicky Minaj too. Nicky Mnage, I was on her early. Fendi was just, he didn't want us on it. Like the office, we was on Nikki.

Nicky used to be in a long way. She used to be in a studio called Sok Passi. You know, my man Bundy, my man Maserati, Foxx, rest in peace to him. Stack Bundles used to be in there. It was a well-known studio. That's on the north side. Right. And Nick used to be in there.

and she used to go hard, rhyme in the mixtape she wasn't on. Right. So now you see how far she's been, because she's like, come on, she's like a pillar of hip hop. We was on her tour too, man. I mean, the Barb tour, that was like crazy, man. Wow. But, you know, that was a studio she used to be in Queens. So I've been like a Nicky fan and been on her since because we've seen her like from level to level.

I've been to sock posse a couple of times, but never did when she was there. But people always told me she was in there with Stack, you know, rest of piece, stack bundles. He was another legend. You know, I always said Jim Jones had the dream team with them. He had Max B and Stack Bundles. I felt like them motherfuckers was just, Max went to jail and Stack got killed, rest in peace. Do you feel that Biggie is a better storyteller than Q?

Because Q responded, I think you said it. He responded like, if asking, he would ask, is writing movies or writing for others? Does that still count? No, we talk about writing. Music. Movies can't take none away from them, but like to me, Biggie was like an ultimate songwriter with one song, Today's Agenda.

Got the suitcase up in the Central, who do one 12, tell him Blanco sent you. Feel the strangers. If no money is exchanges. Got these niggins in ranges to leave their nose brainless. All they told is stainless. Because he's telling the story and you're seeing it. Or when he talk about a story to tell, being at another guy's grid, he's a New York Nick. That's storytelling

Slick Rick You know Storytelling is to me Every rapper ain't a storyteller No Slick Rick was a storyteller Yeah Come on

When you see me walking down the street And I start to cry Cool come on Yeah Walk on by Boom da da Come on To me that's like

The ultimate Storytelling Or Naz when he say I ran like a cheater With Thoughts of an Assassin Or when he made song of being a gun and he was a gun and he was talking about with how gun affect the community but he was being a gun you ever listen that song I gave

you power you think about it what he's talking about is ahead of time it's like even with the kids now a kid will have a gun he'll shoot at one person and it gets addictive so when you look at the nigh song I gave you power I made you buck wow I made you crazy how you like me now it's an addiction right A motherfucker Get slapped around Be beat up He shoot his gun a couple of times

And he got props in the neighborhood Everybody look up to him now Leave him alone Don't fuck with it And now it gets addictive Now I'm shooting that nigga So when you hear the song I gave you power

That's what the gun Those songs like that To me Last for centuries I read that You're the reason Hot ones The successful show

Definitely You wanted the first guest And you told them They need to change The format Definitely shout out to hot ones I told him to change the format. You got to eat the wings with me.

You want me to eat these wings. You got to eat them with me. And that actually changed the format of the show. I think I did hot ones. Did we do hot ones? I was the first artist to ever be on that show. And I changed the dynamic of the show. They even admitted it.

So shout to them. So why did you do it? I don't know. I just was like, yo, you got to eat the wings with me. You want me to eat these hot ass wings? You eat them with me. Right. And he just was like, okay.

I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Brightside podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian, World Cup Champion, and podcast host, Ashlyn Harris. My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won. because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues, and I was like, this is it. For me, it's the pursuit of greatness. It's the journey. It's the people. It's the failures. It's the heartache.
