I think I heard that you're working with Dr. Dre and you got some music coming out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When is that gonna drop? It's gonna be this year, next year, early next year. No, it'll be early next year. Me snoopin' Dre. This nigga chatter, fool. Yeah, really, I'm sorry, I took a little nap,

a little cat nap, I'm back now though. Back. Now I'm going to see Dre tomorrow to go finish it up. It's called Missionary. It's a record we've been working on for a while. It's 30 years in the making. It's the first time me and him did a whole record together since Doggie Style. And I feel like we both on our A game right now,

we both are like really peeking. Like he's proud of me, I'm proud of him and we challenging each other. One thing about me and him, it ain't always like you know happy, happy, happy. It's like we challenge each other and that's what brings us the best of us is that I'm willing to go sit down and be challenged as hot as I am, as big as I am. I put that to the back seat and said, fuck that, I'm gonna go sit with Dre and let him do all the shit he do as if I was a rookie so that way I can fine tune my shit

and not be cocky and conceited, but be a student again. When you go work with Dre, obviously he's at the top of the picking order when it comes to producers that does what he does. And you go in there and you are who you are. How do you find that balance between him pushing you and you're like, hey, hold up now, you know I'm the DOWG, right?

The balance is, when I'm with him, if you watch our whole careers together, he's always been in the driver's seat. I've never been in the driver's seat. If you watch all of the videos and all of the depictions of me and him, he was always, I started off in the back seat and DLC was in the passenger seat. Then I moved to the passenger seat.

And then I was able to adjust the music and I was able to roll the windows down. I was able to put some girls in the back seat. But I never was able to grab the steering wheel to drive because I would crash. He's a better driver at this than I am. I'm better being in the passenger seat. Wow. Making sure that, you know, I'm doing the shit that I do. I know my role, Shannon.

I know that he's the quarterback and I know that I have to run my routes. And I know that sometimes I may not get the ball or we may not pass, but I don't give a fuck. I'm a block hard. I'm gonna do all the shit I gotta do. So when he do finally throw me that, when he finally throw me that, I'm wide open and I got the coldest end on dance.

You niggas have never seen. So we gonna get you out of here on this one. There's a lot been said. Obviously when the Super Bowl came to LA, Dr. Dre, you, 50 was up there. You brought out M, you had married J. Now the Super Bowl goes to New Orleans and the native son, Lil Wayne, and that goes to one of your colleagues, you know, K-Dot, Kendrick Lamar had an unbelievable summer, but he does unbelievable music. I think he's one

of Dre's protege. Where are you on that? I mean, obviously, you know, you being in LA, you can't have performers in LA during the halftime show and DOWG ain't up there. Where are you on this situation, Snoop? Well, I don't really have no opinion, but what I do wanna say is that, just remember what the NFL was 15 years ago when it comes to hip hop.

How many hip hop artists was able to grace that stage 15 years ago? So I understand both sides of the coin and I understand how people feel. I have no answer, no opinion because I had the opportunity to get up there via Dr. Dre. I didn't do any Snoop Dogg songs. I was up there helping Dr. Dre and it became a great moment for all of us So anytime anybody can get on that Super Bowl stage Remember this it's a 12 13 minute performance and you're not getting paid

So it's more unless you have to spend money to upgrade your show to make it Masterpilling for the audience that's home watch. So at the same time Little Wayne is the goat of New Orleans rap. Remember I was at no limit records for three years and I watched this whole career come to life and then watch them become the biggest, I watched him get bigger than me. You feel what I'm saying? And I was gigantic at the time and I love seeing his growth and me and Wayne is family to this day, me and Kendrick is family to this day

and me and Jay Z and me and Roger Godell. So I don't know who is the decision maker. All I know is that I'll be on watching the Superbowl and when the halftime show come on, I'll be watching that as well. Okay. Nah, you need to be in New Orleans cause we gonna be on tour.

Night Cap is gonna have a tour Thursday night. So we need you to be one of the guests on the platform. You gotta ask some crawfish and some gumbo. That's the only way you gonna get on tour. Nightcap is gonna have a tour Thursday night, so we need you to be one of the guests on the platform. You gotta have some crawfish and some gumbo. That's the only way you're gonna get me there. We'll have whatever you want. You want crawfish, gumbo. We got that Chez Balaporte over there.

We got whatever you need. Hey, hey, we got somebody that already got, we got a roll in the back just so you don't, if yours is tied up, we got to roll out back to the age. I love it I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to rap. I got a sick. All right, oh Joe. Yo Now it's time for rough. We hadn't had this segment in a while. No time for rough draft rough draft. Rough draft.

You can't go wrong with that. I don't think our generation here understands how good and iconic M was during his day, during his run. But he was nice. Yeah. Nice. You know what's funny? And speaking of rap, I don't listen to rap chat.

I don't listen to it like that. I don't listen to rap like that. I'm old school, blue, jazz, classical, opera, stuff like that. But chat, I know y'all know who Sauce Walker is. You know who Sauce Walker is, Unc? I don't. Man, listen, I just got hit with Sauce Walker. Man, he real, he be spittin', especially when he talk.

You know, he be, I like him, I enjoy him. And there's a song that Sauce Walker has, man, that speaks to me, it speaks to me. It's not an environment or circumstance that I come from, but listen to the pain in his voice when he talks. It's a song called Peace Treaties. Okay. I know you probably ain't gonna listen to it. Chad, if y'all know about the song

by Sauce Walker called Peace Treaties, I've been listening to the same song on repeat. It's not even that long. Ain't even but two minutes long. It's just what he's saying, like I could feel the pain in his voice when he rapping, it's called Peace Treaties. If anybody knows SauceWalker, tell him I said,

man bruh, I salute you, if you wanna get in the booth together, I'll let you boy. Yeah, we left off 50, Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Oh! We left off for NWA, straight out of Congress. Okay, okay. Hey, we left off Rock Hill, being Rock Hill. Hey, TI, Luda.

It's so many ways we could have gone. It's so many ways we could have gone based on on our preference. Hell, I could have went Crucial Conflict. I mean, I'm more, I mean, I mean, looking at ours, we kind of like old school. We ain't really got nobody new over here. Right, right.

We got all them old dogs, man. So I went with All Lives On Me, The Chronic, AT Aliens, Jay-Z Blueprint, Snoop Dogg, Doggy Style, DMX, Audubon mentioned with DMX and Eminem. Ocho went life after death, life after death, Nas Illmatic, thought you was going with God, son. Reasonable Doubt, Jay Z, little way, he got to call the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Juvenile, Audubon mentioned he went he went dub, C is sugar-free. Yeah. Bad Ocho, you dirty bad. All right, Ocho. What's your take, Ocho? I have a question. I got a question, huh? I love Wayne, that's my dog, man.

Yep. You know, been in the studio with him back in the day. No name in a few songs. What, studio apartment? No, studio. Nice to be in a studio. You need to make a good clarification. I understand where he's coming from. Super Bowl being held in your hometown.

What better place for you to represent for your people and the fans? And I thought to myself, how many years has the Super Bowl been in New Orleans? Man, it's been in New Orleans more than any damn place. Right, so I'm curious. They had it in 2012. It was there in 90s, when the Packers beat the Patriots, it was there when the Rams lost to the Patriots. It was there when the Rams lost to the Patriots.

It was it was there with the life went out and the Ravens beat the 49ers. It was there in 77 when the Cowboys beat the Broncos. That's four times off the top of my head. I think it's been there about. Okay, so. So I'm only asking. Are you laughing? Asking, talking about, tell me. I will say, 12, 10. It's been there 10 times.

Okay. I'll say, I'm only asking, obviously this is not the first time that it's been in the woman's. No, no, no, it's been there 10 times. Okay. I'll say I'm only asking. Obviously, this is not the first time that it's been in the world. It's been there 10 times. Yeah. Okay. Of course. But Luane has never been.

been. been. Hired or asked to perform what makes a difference this year. I'm I'm just curious. So maybe you can answer better. Maybe the check jacket answer better. I think because of what happened when it was in LA and the rent and when it was in LA, they got Dre, they had Snoop and they paid homage to, you know, and so I'm sure Wayne was thinking like, damn, uh, sure, because he was a he was had a residency or smoking.

I don't know if you got a chance to see Usher, but that's. Yeah, yeah. I went real. I went real. He go booing that. Oh man, he did it. So Weezy like, well damn, hold on.

LA, they got the hip hop, you know, they got the, you know, Boom Boom, Dre, they had 50, they had M, they had D-O-double-G, Mary J, okay, Vegas, Usher, I mean what they gonna bring? Trout, Wayne, Nuke Nazz out there, they're like nah. So Wayne was like okay, hey, we's there baby, and New Orleans, it didn't happen. I'm like, uh huh. So, Wayne was like, okay, hey, you know, we have baby and you know, New Orleans and it didn't happen. I

get his frustration. I I I'm like you. I can see both sides because we've never, it's never been like, think about it. When it was in Atlanta, they had Maroon 5. Think about what all the, think about it. You had Tim, you had Luda, you had you had all the think about it. You had you had

Luta. You had future. You had uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh two chains. You had uh what's the other the group uh uh Andre 3000 big boy. Okay. Yeah. Okay. They loaded. You got babyface. You got Jermaine Dupree. You have you have

bro. Yeah. Hey, hey, they have I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, ain't gonna pay no homage to what all they what they got. Right. So I get, like I get it. But you know, look, I mean, I don't know. I can understand the frustration, but it's not like, okay, such as such as from, listen, we know Beyonce can't do it every year.

And Taylor Swift, and Taylor Swift, that's who they want. Let's be all the way. They want Taylor. But Taylor's like, I'm figuring out, I don't need that. I mean, Beyonce didn't need it, but Beyonce did him a courtesy. She did him a courtesy because you don't get pay for it and you come out your pocket Yeah, yeah Remember remember what I said? I mean everyone's up in arms even though Lil Wayne came out and spoke about it It still has to do a set. Yes do a set I'm not sure if they have music together, but Lil Wayne might make a surprise that was one of the first things I said He might make a surprise you never you one of the first things I said.

He might make a surprise. You never know. You never know what Kendrick may do. I'm not sure. Oh, but we don't want Taylor. You don't, but the NFL, NFL do. Oh yeah. I don't think they understand what she does

for the eye, the eye visibility, the exposure. They want that different crowd of eyes. What was that number when she came out and kind of like her support for Kamala? How many people signed up to vote? It was crazy, I saw that. Like 800,000 people registered within 24 hours? Right.

Okay, man, y'all better stop. Look, y'all might not like her, but she's an earthquake. 400,000. Yeah. She's an earthquake. Like I said, Beyonce came perform every year. Beyonce say I'm good.

As a matter of fact, Beyonce was at 50 with a Coldplay. I think she did a set with Coldplay. At Super Bowl 50, I was there. I know she was in New Orleans, cause I was there. Like I've been to a couple of them. Obviously I was with CBS in Miami when Prince did it playing Purple Rain

and it starts to rain. Started raining, yeah. And to see, man, that little man can sing. That little man. Lord. Not only sing, perform. That's what he is, he's a performer.

Hold on, and then can play every goddamn instrument. Yeah, I know, the guitar, oh, he. Hold on. Real deal. Oh man, Prince is, he amazing, man. When he had that group, you know, look, I understand the new power generation, but when he was with Wendy and Lisa,

the Andre Simone. What you know about that, man, come on now. Hey, y'all go. the new power generation but when he was with Wendy and you. You're a cat. Cat. Get all the women. Hey, boy. Whoo. Boy. Boy, ain't nothing ain't nothing like good old cats today, don't you? Oh yeah. Oh boy. Listen. Boy, listen. Dang. Yeah, Michael was in, Michael was in 93. I think when Michael performed at the Super Bowl,

I think Michael was in Pasadena. In that way he performed there. Cause that was like the first Super Bowl I went to. I was a baby. It was 93. I didn't go to the game, but that was the first the NFL invited me and I had stuff I did.

Yeah, I get it. I mean, like I said, I think me I'm kind of empathetic because I know Wayne, I know him personally. And yeah, but it's tough. Like you want to perform in front of you, in your city. And like I said, I hope, I hope that Kendrick will at least bring him out, let him do a

couple of songs. And I'll be laughing. Hey there, it's Michael Lewis, author of Going Infinite, Moneyball, The Blind Side, and Liars do a couple of songs. My next season is all about fans and what the rise of sports betting is doing to them, to the teams, and even to my family.

Nah, but you know, you look at the costumes and the makeup that she wears sometimes, she can really, you know, you look at the costumes and the makeup that's once you wear sometimes. He can really, really sing on Joe. Yeah.

Oh, well, she could blow that way. Forget singing. Don't she is a performer. Have you ever seen her perform? Yes. She puts on a performance. There are certain people that are singers and entertainers. They have this wonderful thing called stage presence.

She has stage presence and commands the eye every time she's up there. Don't don't you know, sometimes, you know, you get lost. Oh, she got all that makeup and she's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the costumes, the accessory. Oh, hey, if you take all of that away and tell her to come out here and she pulls up a stool and sit up there, she can go. Let you have it. With the best way, listen to that, with the best of now. Absolutely. This is a great opening ceremony, but I've been very, very fortunate to

know Joe that I've seen a lot of it. I go back to 1984 when it was in when it was in LA the last time it was in LA it was in L.A. The last time it was in L.A. and you come back and 96 when Muhammad Ali lit the cauldron. Yeah. Nothing. Barcelona when the guy, the archer, if I'm not mistaken, he fired the arrow and it lit the cauldron. And it went right into. Yeah, that was the 2008 Beijing is the greatest opening ceremony I had ever seen. 2008, 2008 in Beijing. Why you say that? 2008 Beijing is the greatest opening ceremony I had ever seen.

2008 in Beijing. Why you say that? The way the pageantry, those drums, what they had. And if I'm not mistaken, they said they'd been rehearsing this for over a year. And it was how many people that they had to have to get this thing coordinated. And everybody was beating on rhythm. Everybody was moving on rhythm. Chad, it'd be interesting to see what you guys think. What do you think was the greatest opening ceremony?

For me, it was 2008 Beijing. Now, I don't go back past 84. Obviously, you know, in 80, it was boycotted because it was held in Moscow because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. 76, it was in Montreal. 72 because it was held in Moscow because the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan 76. It was in Montreal 72 it was in Munich. So I was born in 68 when it was a Mexico City So I don't go back that far. I go back to 84. So that's about 30 years Hmm for my in my 30 years Beijing was the greatest opening ceremony

opening ceremony. And she's in the thing. Look at Ocho. Now she on the piano. Stop playing with him. Gaga. You ain't got a lot like this isn't Gaga. Gaga is a very, very, very extremely talented artist. Gaga.

They can do it a multitude of things. Hey, Ocho Gaga say, hey, this the entertainment Olympics too. I'm letting y'all know. Oh, yeah. I would. Yeah, I would decathlete. And listen, they pick the dance, I could play instruments.

Hey, they pick the right one. They pick the right one to do it. Now. I don't mean I'm always like I said I'm impressed when I look at a Beyonce and I see her move the way she moved for hours and dance with them and stay on key never tired. Yes. Yep. Man. It's a few of a man that are special at what they do.

Yeah. Gaga's one of them. Beyonce's another one. Anytime you can do more than one thing, you sing and dance, you sing and dance and play the piano or play the guitar, drum, whatever the case may be.

Why am I looking Snoop Snoop loose man? Look here. He coming out. You got the umbrella.

Nobody has gone a bigger transformation than snow. Oh no. Look at where he was in the earth in the mid 90s with that situation and he's become the world's best beloved uncle, has a show with a Martha Stewart. He's one of the most recognizable faces, one of the most recognizable names in all the world. And what he's been able to do is nothing short of man. Amazing. Amazing. of man. Amazing. Amazing.

And he, you know what? It couldn't happen to a nicer guy because you meet Snoop. I met Snoop back in 93 at Deon prime had a celebrity basketball game when he was with the five from then. Yeah. And I met Snoop.

Man, that joker man, he's been the same from 93 until 2024. Some people just make like Magic Johnson is another guy. Man, you meet Magic, Magic make you feel like, you think Magic been knowing you your whole damn life. He gonna ask you about your brother, your sister, how your mom doing, he gonna ask, I mean, every time he see you, Snoop is the exact same way.

Oh yeah. Legends. Oh, Joe, see, that could have had you, boy, that could have had me and you, and that, oh, Joe, stop, girl, stop! Yes, honey. One foot in front of the other. I like the energy, honey. One foot in front of the other. All right. Look at the energy.

Yeah. Give me a face. Give me face face. Yeah. You can pull that off. You can pull that off. Yeah, I could. Yeah, you can pull that off. OK. OK. Oh, look at that. I don't know the way he's still. I don't want to feel stale. But that's that. I didn't know the way he stepped. I didn't want to see him step on you. That's it. I'll see. Yes, that's how it happens.

Because we love Tom Brady. Oh! What's up bro? Come on, have a seat. No, no, no. Have a seat. What did I do? I was just saying what's up. So, okay, we ask everybody, I mean, kind of 50-50 Chiefs, 49ers, who you like for the suit?

You know what, man? You know, everybody always asks me who my favorite team is, and I've done a lot of halftime shows, so it's kind of whoever paying me for the week, but. I mean, at this junction, man junction man you know I hate to base it off of my relationships but I do know I do know Taylor's been personally so I got a I got a kind of go to Chiefs I got a guy you know I don't want to but it's

you know all that money in them boxes up there just you want to stick around the checks you know I just don't want to weigh my own, I don't want to outweigh my chances. Right. But you know, hey man, good luck to everybody, but at the same time, only one of them have paid me so far. What happened? I'm going to ask you this. There have been a lot of fans are upset.

They say they show Taylor too much and not focus on what's going on in the field. What do you think about that? Are they showing Taylor too much? I think they show celebrities the same amount. I think they show Jack Nicholson a lot. They used to. I think they show Spike Lee a lot. Anybody that show up, I think they show Lil Wayne a lot.

I think, you know, but you know, it's a white lady. So, you know, everybody gonna get noticed a little little easier are you are you doing are you performing or are you in towns for the Super Bowl well I'll start my residency tonight at ZUK right there right next door so I was just coming to say what's up I still ain't took a shower today so I'm gonna go ahead and do that. I wanna ask you this. Let me ask you this. I've heard you sing and I've heard you sing songs and you didn't have autotune.

What made you decide to use autotune when your voice is as good as anything we have? Because if I would have came out singing, I would have just sounded like everybody else. No, you don't sound like everybody else. It would have just been another voice. You know what I mean? So there's nothing special about it. Like there's people in this crowd that can sing that can out sing me right now. No they're not. I'm sure there is. Not in this crowd? Cinco. Yeah. Yeah. You heard that new Toby and Cinco? That thing crazy. No but I mean it would have just been another voice. You know what I mean? Especially

you know. In the rap game. Dark skin, dreads, won a lot of been another voice, you know what I mean? Especially, you know. In the rap game. Dark skin, dreads, wasn't a lot of space for me, you know what I mean? When I came out, had to be light skin, low haircut, it was a lot going on. Had to be able to dance, I was fat, it was a lot going on. Had a lot going against me, wasn't really working out for me. But no, I made it through because there was something different about my voice, you know what I mean? So I needed something to break through the fog I heard the

other day you talking about how you wrote a lot of songs or you've been writing songs for country musicians and the credits was kind of getting you in trouble because you was getting some blowback you say man if that just cut me to check don't put my name in yeah no it wasn't really blow back it was just like I don't know what we can say on the show you good we rated R the comments on that was just like it was a lot of N-word it was a lot of it it was a bunch that was primarily the word that I saw a lot anytime somebody said I had anything to do with it's on it like what's this

we're doing on this dog why you got got anything to do with him? I thought you were a patriot. It was just a lot of that. It was just, it was a lot. But did the check clear? Oh, the check always cleared. And it cleared on time. That's the crazy thing. Country music is very punctual.

Very punctual with the checks. You deal with some of these darker companies, they give you the 90 days. The contract says 90 days, we're going to send it in 91. Do you remember when you were growing up and they asked you to post-date the check? Oh, absolutely not. Don't pass it. I put a Friday on it.

Don't you take your ass to the bank on Thursday. If you could just not cash this for me real quick, I'm going to come back on Tuesday. I'm going to let you know if you can cash it then, but probably don't do it then. If it's Wednesday, I'm gonna just cut you another check. I'm gonna come to pay you another one because I'm gonna move banks. You see Bank of America, they messing me up. See what I'm saying?

So I'm gonna move to Chase, and I'm gonna come right to Chase. If that don't work, I'm gonna go then, I'm gonna need you to go to Western Union and with Dixie, and then we can probably just make it work from there. Yeah, that don't work. It's just too many steps, too many steps. What you want to say, Ocho?

I wanna have a sing-off. I wanna have a sing-off. I gotta sing tonight. Sing-off, I gotta, you coming to my residency? I could, matter of fact, let me perform with you. Come on up there. No, I'm serious. You have the shortest residency in Vegas.

That should be one night only. With T-Pain featuring Ocho. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, I moved the needle now. I can sing. If you want an example, let me know. Go ahead. Hit a note right here. Go ahead.

Move the needle. You got to take a shot. Got me fucked up. You got to stand up, because you have to stand up some jack. The diaphragm and stuff. I'm so in love with you. I know one of those notes. Whatever you want me to. One of those. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's what it is. No, you gotta do the... I'll do right. You, you. Sure. Yeah. What you think? What you think? I'll take that. That was a... One to ten. One to ten. Be honest. Be honest. Because my vocal coach ain't here. She in Miami. I will say this. On one to ten, that's a hot four. You did good.

I will say this, on one to 10, that's a hot four. You did good. I said a hot four, that's almost a five. I'm telling you, see, that's a good, that's good. A hot four. I'm telling you, you did good. You playing gay more than what I was gonna give you. What you gave me? It wasn't on the scale that you put it in,

one between one and 10. I needed to be lower than one. That's messed up. I need a negative energy. You gave me something to work with. See, I can throw a bunch of auto-tune on that and make something happen. See? Auto-tune, I sound like a ten.

Man, you can use auto-tunes, cartoons, ain't enough tunes, looney tunes, ain't enough tunes to make that boy sound good. T-Base, stop playing, see? I'm telling you, I done heard a lot of real bad singers get turned into real good singers It's just a little bit engineering. They sound like him. I mean a little bit worse actually Oh my goodness. Thank you Yeah, some of these some of these artists y'all think Can do that. Oh man, let me tell you that's why everybody thought I was that's why everybody thought I was I was

They didn't know how talented you actually were because you had that Yeah, now you got to be able to make it sound good That's why everybody thought I was fake. They didn't know how talented you actually were because you had it. Yeah, yeah. Now you gotta be able to make it sound good. You gotta sing in some kind of capacity to make it sound good, but with the right engineer and a bunch of money behind you, absolutely.

You can hear. Well, he need an engineer from MIT. Georgia Tech. Both of y'all rich enough to do anything you want to. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I gotta stay in my wheelhouse. I know you're hiding your finances from all these people. I'm hitting you. Not Ocho the cheap one. or anything you want to. You can sign, you can do it uncomfortable. It just wasn't me. I like, I like, listen, I ain't even got a fucking pre-check. I ain't got people say, you gotta

What's happening, what's happening, what's happening, what's happening? What they do, boy, let me hold something, boy. Let me hold something. Boy, you can't. Yes. I'm proud of y'all, man.

Y'all make some noise for these two right here, man. Boy, we appreciate you stopping by. Know you got a business schedule, I follow you. I see what you got going on. Business, man, it's always business. And for you to take time out, the grace Ocho and I, much respect. It's too easy.

Tell us about the book. You got a book called The Perfect Day to Boss Up. What made you write a book and the title? It was only right. Every day is a perfect opportunity to go to that next level, straight up and down. Perfect Day to Write a Book, another collaboration, New York Times bestseller, with my brother, Neil Belkin,

you know what I mean? And it was just about taking it to that next level and make it clear as possible for that next generation of entrepreneurs. Just so they know, yo, this is realistic. Extremely realistic. I had you on the podcast. You were one of my first guests on Club Shae Shae.

And you was telling the story how you was always a hustler. That you would, hey, for a little extra money you was washing cars, but for a little extra money, hey, I'm gonna rearrange your consents, I'm gonna put them things in there in alphabetical orders, all this, I'm gonna do all this stuff. You always had that entrepreneur skill. You always had the ability, the foresight to see,

like you know what, the homie gonna like this. That's what it's all about. Take it to that next level. Whatever you got going on, whoever your business partners are, surprise them. Take them to that next level. You see I got my brand up here. I wanna try yours as well, but that's what it's all about. I got my homie Jeremy, slippery soap.

He in here tonight. So it's just all about always sharing that platform with my team and that's what we do We all see the progress. We all grow you look back a decade later. God damn Listen you got to think well we go we go way back but we go way back way back So I'm trying to think. When I think about artists today, how important do you think it is for them to build their brand the way you have

outside of the music industry? But the thing is, you had the success to be able to do it through music, which made the transition that much easier. Right. So how do you answer that question? It's one thing about building a brand, but you gotta be good at the first part,

that is your profession. Right, right. What we all gotta accept and be realistic about it is like going to the league, everybody won't make it to the Hall of Fame. You being an artist, everybody may not know how to go out and really become that product or sell products.

It's a lot of huge artists that can sell records, but the young kids don't want to dress like them, so they can't sell clothes, they can't sell shoes. Nigga won't even wear they socks. You know what I'm saying? So everybody can't do everything, but what you do want to make clear is the opportunities that are out there.

So if you're a young athlete, you know what I mean? It's the NIO, the game changer right now, but it's all about making sure you understand you are a business. You the CEO of your life. And every day you wake up, you run it just like you would want to run your business. Dough, how do you stay motivated bruh, after all these years? You got everything, everything, and I follow you on Instagrams.

You constantly, though constantly, always doing something new. What motivates you after you have accomplished so much? I'm gonna keep it real, it ain't about a dollar sign. It ain't about a dollar sign, even though I feel like Rosé deserve whatever it is he want. It ain't nothing wrong with you feeling like that, because you gotta go get it though.

You understand? You know, yeah, you gotta go get it. I'm a huge dreamer. I dream of things that I never fathomed. But guess what, there's so much more to go. Whoever imagined in your mid-40s or wherever you at, you're in the dig, damn, we really just beginning. The paper really just coming.

The experience really just kicking in. Now it's time to apply all that and let's go to that next level So I'm really I'm still motivated. I really am obviously When you get to this level there was some failures. There was some non successes That's what just a non success at the time not many though How did like you getting knocked down

Getting back up says okay this didn't work, but the next thing's going to work. Because I know how to accept certain things. I said this on my story this morning, just because you may not have achieved or accomplished what you set out to accomplish, it doesn't necessarily mean you failed. You know what I mean? Sometimes you just got gotta redirect shit, reapply certain things, and then the shit could pop off for you.

So you gon' take L's in the game. Anybody who think they gon' go shoot straight to the mountain top and not take no losses, you got it fucked up, because that's gon' happen. And believe it or not, we talking realistically in life, our biggest challenges have yet to come.

So you better have your mind right, you dig? Man, Ross, y'all had the summer going crazy. Yeah, we did. What, I thought all y'all was like cool. I'ma be honest, on some rap shit, it was no conspiracies. Rosé name was said, Rosé, I'ma jump off the porch. That's what I do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they call Rosé, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'ma jump off the porch and I'ma have some fun. And that's what I did, I had some fun. You know, I just feel like it's a lot of dope shit being made, you know what I mean? We'll see where it go as far as I ain't talking no no no no no No controversy type shit. I'm just talking music, right? You know what I mean? It's some dope shit being made You know what I mean?

We know the era I came up in we know the one to inspire me always get them they flowers? It's some dope shit being made. You know what I mean? We know the era I came up in. We know the ones who inspired me always get them they flowers. And there's some youngsters that's really hustling right now. I want to see them take it to that next level though. Because being successful making music is one thing, but really marketing yourself and making yourself a fucking iconic worldwide global giant. Making yourself a resource because, worldwide, global giant. Making yourself a resource,

because that's what a lot of these youngsters have potential to do. That's what I wanna see them do. Did you always have that ambition? Like, yes, music is my entry, but I'm go, I see myself as more than a musician. I see myself as an entrepreneur. I see myself as owning businesses outside of the music.

Because, Ross, everybody knows you as Rosé, but your biggest entities ain't got nothing to do with music. Facts. That's without a doubt. Yeah, shout out to that Lemon Peppermint. Shout out. You know what I'm saying? But I always had a certain level of ambition.

I did, even when I couldn't dress good. I knew once my paper was right, I'm gonna be fly. I'm gonna be a fly fat nigga, watch this. You know what I'm saying? That was just always in me. And so, and that's just, that's how it gotta go. You know what I'm saying? Every day I wake up, let's man, let's apply this shit.

Let's apply this shit. You know what I mean? You wanna be a wake up, let's man, let's apply this shit. Let's apply this shit. You know what I mean? You wanna be a boss, make sure you the best boss there is. Have some understanding, make sure you communicate. Every week, let's reiterate what the priorities are. You can't give nobody no room to, nah, nah, nah, let's stay focused. This how we gotta do it, and that's what it is.

So I knew once I had the opportunity, soon as they let me in the motherfuckin' door, I'ma go crazy. How do you determine who you respond to and who you don't? Because obviously, me, I'm in this space now, and you get people taking pot shots at you. But how does Rawl stay like, okay, I'll respond to this, I'ma let that stuff go?

How do you determine what you're gonna? Is it something to gain for you? Somebody wake up and, hey, don Shae, hate on Ocho. I mean, let's sit back. Let's sit back because not responding is a response when you're a boss. You heard his ass Ocho. Yeah, cause I ain't responding to real.

I like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Shit. You know what I'm saying? Motherfucker might wake you up early in the morning to text you some bullshit, hey man, man get on that goddamn story

and don't even try, hey, that is a response. You know what I'm saying? So it's like yo, to get a response from me it has to be something really for me to gain. If you just a mark who woke up and want to say the biggest boss name, because you like my sneakers or something, homie, that's it. Hey man, calm down. You see what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying? Tell us about Bumble. Yeah, Bumble Rum. Bumble Rum, that's the fastest moving Bumble in the game. Make sure y'all check this out, man. What made you decide to get into the spirit game? Really, it was just me being in the club. It only makes sense.

If I'm in the club every night, or if I'm in the club three, four times a week, it only makes sense. I'm enjoying myself, I'm having something to drink, and I find myself in New York City one night, I got a big record DJ Clu turned me on a Luke Belair I woke up the next morning and say what was that in that black bottle I need some more that and that was just the beginning of

me really I met Brett Barish and really just I just started repping everywhere I went I wanted it with me and that was just the beginning of the relationship. Of all the songs you've made you collab with some of the greatest artists of our generation. Do you have a favorite song that you that you've created? I can tell you my favorite my favorite verse was definitely the blue dress. Definitely my favorite song is Amsterdam. But I want to hear from the horses. Those are timeless. Those are timeless. I'm going to tell you the reason why for me it's so hard to choose a favorite verse or

a favorite record is because at certain times I'm in certain vibes. I may wake up one morning and I'm turned all the way up and I want to hear John or it might be something That's just sweet and running through my mind or it might be one of those mornings I wake up and it's you know, damn it's a Santorini grease type of vibe You know what I mean, so it's just it depends on what the vibe is, you know? It's like in dress, some days you want your shit, you know what I mean? Some days it's another vibe. I interviewed Khaled, and I talked to Khaled,

and he said when he was coming up with this song that you, Wayne, Hov, I don't forget who else was on it. I think, who else was on it? Yeah, he said he didn't let anybody else hear anybody else voice So you just you did your thing we did his thing whole did his thing facts When you jump on a beat Ross, do you hear a beat? Okay, obviously let you play the they let you hear it as You're listening. Are you formulate like I'm gonna go here I'm gonna go there soon as Soon as soon as I hear it already know what I what need to be done. I'm now it's just how am I gonna do it and

Execute it present it Cuz you know who own it you know it wrong. I did you know that's right You didn't know I did but if you know, let's say that don't somebody I have you to do a feature right and so you know who's gonna be on it like okay they tell you okay Ross we got you we got X we got Z you know you got to go hard because they going hard cuz boss on it right right right they going they hardest so it most definitely when you hear whoever the collaborator is or if they already on the record it most definitely Affects how you approach certain vibes. You know what I mean? But when I like when Calis in the record, don't tell nobody school

I did my verse. He may have had it back in the next hour What yeah? Yeah, that's how we work Yeah, you know you heard me, you ain't know me and, um, me and, me and, no, we got a song. I like to hear that. That's a fact. No, no, that's a fact. We got a song. He really came to the studio, pulled up to the studio

and he really laid down his balls, that's real. Boss, you should have charged him 10,000 an hour to keep him at your studio. Now when it drop and you want it, when it drop and we go quadruple platinum, don't be trying to, oh, I believed in you. Nah, nah, nah, yeah, I'm like that on the mic, man. Nah, still, look, everybody know you do great work.

My favorite song from you have and always will be Every Day I'm Hustlin'. Ooh. Man, that means so much. That's my anthem. It means so much still to this day to me. I come out on the stage wherever I'm at. I just left overseas halfway across the world

that every day I'm hustlin', come on, that touch and resonate with all the real. don't matter where you from what color you are You got to go get it Because these streets and life this shit don't care nothing about you Yeah, you grew up and you obviously you have close to people and I think the hardest thing is is that when you have someone That's been around you when you weren't rosé when you wasn't the boss How do you determine who gets to remain in Rosé's life if they're not adding anything to Rosé's life? With me it ain't always about what you add

To me you mean because everybody may not necessarily bring that to the table But where you genuine when it wasn bring that to the table, but were you genuine when it wasn't nothing on the table? Were you there when it wasn't nothing on the table? You know what I mean? Yeah, so everybody may not bring nothing to the table, but that's not how we gonna judge your value. We gonna judge that on the genuine love.

Cause it could be a motherfucker that really care about you more than anybody and ain't got shit to give you. You don't cut them off for nothing. With everything that you've done, with everything that you've accomplished, what could possibly be next that you haven't touched already? What's next?

I got a long list, motherfucker! You know what I'm saying? And I'm just keeping it real, the list, it's long and it's gonna stay long. Let's stay motivated, let's stay busy. Let's keep moving, let's keep hustling. You ain't gonna win all the time, but let's keep going. Because like I said, Rosé, I jumped out here,

I didn't sign to no huge, you know, I ain't have no big team of producers that, nah, we did this shit one record at a time, one album at a time, one play at a time. And we done ran laps around motherfuckers. That's what's up. Straight up. Music, when is Rosick going back in the studio?

When can we expect the next album? I'm back in the studio right now, and you gonna have a new album from the boss in December, baby. Yeah. Yeah, we been in the studio, bitch. Fuck y'all. No.

I'm most definitely, we cooking up, you know what I'm saying? Shout out to my homies out in Houston, Big Tony, Sauce Walker, yeah, yeah, yeah.
