At a Wu concert, it's way more. I'm telling you. What you gonna get? You gonna like

you know, it's gonna be What's the percentage? I would say the percentage has to be Karen's, Becky's or the percentage of Becky's that go to a Wu take. If they don't get on the phone, I would say, I would I think it's that go to a Wu-Tang and they don't get on the phone I would say I would I would I think it's safe bet to say 40 or 50 40 50 percent who are they who are they

there to see Wu-Tang but which member specifically nigga they'll fuck with any of the Wu's they can fuck with because you know some Wu's is not really Wu's right it's always a Wu nigga that's like oh niggas you Wu-Wu like which woo are you this nigga say some shit like this supreme Allah son you like no nigga you his cousin you his erotica stop playing you know you the barber yeah you the barber but like

racist. Donald Trump niggas fuck with Wu-Tang. Donald Trump niggas, them motherfuckers. Yo, the racist fuck with Wu-Tang too. I know they fuck with Wu-Tang because when I ruin RZA's podcast, them motherfucking goddamn,

them No Mask motherfuckers was mad. And I know they was still Wu-Tang motherfuckers. Hell yeah. And that's why watching that montage, not only just watching

the montage, and I'm going to get to that, but watching that montage of a super group, the biggest group, I consider it to be the Grateful Dead of groups. You can't even name name too many groups especially to be a group past three people nigga that's a lot of people to feed yeah one nigga fuck up you're like you're just cutting

too much coming cutting into my shit but you know but to be able to earlier watching that montage and then if you notice the studio is different you know i'm saying i think that uh the show is going to evolve into something where we showcase not just comedy but art you know so i think it'll be very my man um a candy man on instagram you know he this motherfucker matthew right matthew like this motherfucker's eye he's traveled the world shooting lenny kravitz stevie wonder uh prince you know i'm saying motherfucker dave chappelle fucking donnell rawlings right i don't really make the role that much i gotta ask for my pictures my pictures only get posted i'll be like yo man uh you think you can get me that picture which one the one with me and lenny kravitz you know what i'm saying the one with me and chris rock you know so what i wanted to do because

you know uh podcasting is an art form wouldn't you say that it's an art form so one of that one one of the things i want to showcase in the show is all types of art forms so again you see the studio first off not first off, we got to do this. We got to shout out the people that we don't make money from. That's how New Alpine Cans is, nigga. We got to shout out. We ain't got no money. You know what I mean?

We want to shout out. This is what you start your podcast. Shout out Cannon. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Cannon's got his fucking cameras. You know? Shout out to Tell It, distributor and maker of Black Ash. More importantly, not more importantly, shout out to the fans.

Do you know how it feels to go from, like, in 24 episodes to see your podcast evolve you know i'm saying see it evolve from when you first started to do it kate's living room yeah kate's living room um i wasn't in there doing what a lot of people do in kate's living room but you know to see it come on she be getting them back shots in that room. What? Kate ain't fucking in the living room. Kate ain't fucking in the living room. Come on. What?

She fucking in the living room. No doubt. She fucked. But my point was to see something evolve from like basically just idea of a dare. I ain't gonna go crazy with this this whatever but to see idea at the beginning when we were always honest you motherfuckers you you we were always honest with you we never lied to you that one time did we lie we told you we was gonna fuck up guess what we did we fucked up we told you that the sound would be fucked up sometimes guess what

I know but I want to talk to them. I just want to talk to them. Let them know. Let them know. I don't want to talk to y'all. We know. And we want to thank you for riding with us. Going from, I was petrified to read the comments, to sometimes they're delightful.

You've captured those people. That's what I want to talk about. Yeah, it's amazing. Like, when people see a person in whatever their chosen field is, they always ask the question, how did you start? Right? What was your inspiration? Before we get to the pitches, before we get to the pitches, I know you've got a story behind start right what was your inspiration before we get to the pictures but before we get the pictures i know you got a story behind everything what was your inspiration what was the first time you know you want to know lenny crab was when was the first

time you ever picked up a guitar when was the when did you know that this was going to be your passion and what uh uh provided for you and your family when was that time wow i'm not really sure i ever thought i was gonna make this smoke weed i don't might remember nothing all right go ahead oh god damn i went the last time you remember yeah when i was nine years old nah i honestly i was a kid who wasn't big on rules. And so I was a big fan of art and the idea that I could do whatever the fuck I wanted. No rules. And I had a couple teachers along the way that saw something special in me.

And they said, well, the class project is this, but you can go over there and do whatever the fuck you want. Just make sure it's in on time. And that freedom for me was special. the idea that there were no rules there was no coloring book no lines to color in and so i really gravitated towards that um like the free thinking of that and then nothing is free on this show you gotta get paid to think fuck free thinking we need sponsors buy a candle bitches bitches. Yeah. So, go ahead. I'm sorry.

Yeah, but no, I just came up and my mom bought me a camera when I was 12 years old. It was like a film camera. So, you had the processor and all that. It was a Canon, too. Okay. So, you started, when you first, you didn't start digital. Your shit started with putting the film in and going to the dark room and all that When I was coming up it was all film and I used to love I used to love being in the dark room You know that is to be a pervert ass nigga. What you doing in the dark?

Why do you that's racist why it's gotta be so much fun in the dark room Who named the dark room it Who named the dark room? It could be the white room. Fucking racist ass. It's because it's a dark room. That's how the photos process. So the room don't never get white? No, it's like dark and red.

Yeah. I stand corrected. There was a bad time to use the race car. But then, y'all, I know. I'll sign your pocket for later. But, okay. Since you went through that, because I'm a fucking darkroom motherfucker. We used to shoot dice in the darkroom, though, son.

We ran out the darkroom, nigga. I used to go up in there, them niggas steal my money. I turn the lights on. All the film is all fucked up, overexposed and shit. I remember the smell of it. You get addicted to that. What's that? What's that?

Yeah, yeah. What is that for? Fixer. Should have known this nigga wasn't one of them. You're supposed to go to me. You're supposed to go to me you're supposed to go to me fixer developer all right all right ladies and gentlemen anytime we introduce anybody we got to let them know this is the guy david dewey he's a white guy you know him as yeah yeah yeah he has the answers to everything what's the name of that fucking smell that when you're in the dark room there's two fixer and developer right

that's what you're smelling fixer and developer. Right. That's what you're smelling. Fixer and developer. It's a three-step process. You put it in the developer first, then you put it in the fixer, then you put it in the water. Was this some white connection I didn't know about? This is a white connection, yeah. They looked at each other. They didn't even look at us.

They were like, these things don't know nothing about no fixer and developer. I knew it was a certain smell. So for you, this is an interesting question. But you used to shoot dice in a dark room for real? How the fuck did you know who won? Yo, we had a little flashlight. We had a little flashlight, nigga. We had a little flashlight, bro.

That's where the whole Ashy Larry character, that was the origin of him. I used to shoot dice so much, my knees used to get scraped up in ashy. That's not the part that's amazing The amazing part is Where was the dark room? In the dark space, nigga What do you mean? Oh, you just mean in the dark space

I thought you meant in an actual photography dark room Yeah, well, it was in vocational education It was like one of my electives Okay You know, that was part of it Printing or camera or whatever So we used to be in there shooting dice Man, we weren't trying to trip off no motherfucking

We was like this nigga What they hit for, nigga for the white dudes is over there like come on guys please yo they were they was good look hey the project is doing two hours the white dudes was doing their glasses like like they was all like they shoots to see this go from blurry to clear right just saw the finished product when it's gonna be ready nigga darkroom shit ain't easy man no no it's not digital photography so like and i know like how uh like since you was of that time period how tough was it to transition from a film camera to digital was you like did you like were you against it like most a lot of DJs, when they switched from Technique 1200s, they started doing whatever they used. Deary, you know the system?

It's called Serato. Serato. Shout out to my man. Nigga, come on. There's too much talking now. I told you. Nigga, Phil Cunst, he doing showbiz. What's up, my boy?

He grabbed his dick when he said that, too, nigga. He said, you see them reviews? Nigga, stop playing with me, son. Yo, you know what it is, son. That nigga said- What's up, y'all? That motherfucker said, Serato quick as a motherfucker. But when they made that, it was DJs that was mad as shit.

Right. Fuck that. It was roadies that was mad. They was like, nigga, who gonna carry the crates? Motherfuckers started rolling in with laptops yeah you know how many people lose jobs yeah that's true because you have to rent u-hauls to do a show nigga yo and you had to be like and you had to do this man and fucking the old heads was fucking they was like we don't want to do that then they said wait a minute i can do the laptop and they got eventually people always

uh reject um change yeah nobody want to see shit evolve so how was it when you were one of those photographers that was like fuck that this is not it or did you just embrace it and say i could still get funky with it nah i think it opened up a whole it opened up a lot of freedom right because in the film days especially like when i was coming up you'd be like all right well every time i press this button i'm one step closer to the end and the shot that i really want is going to be like frame 37 when there was 36 frames on there right and then you know so it really opened up a lot of freedom of like yeah you shoot the shit out of stuff right and like there's actually something that came from that called spray and pray which is like for some photographers that really don't

know what they're doing they just pray that sounds like an R. Kelly sequel My mind is telling me no but my spray is praying That motherfucking spray what was it called Spray and pray They don't know what they do they just shoot whatever the fuck

Oh that's like just skate skate skate skate It is Spray and pray That's unprotected right there Spray and pray They just shoot whatever the fuck. Oh, that's like just ski, ski, ski, ski, ski, right? It is. Okay. Spray and pray. That's not like, that's like, that's unprotected right there, nigga. I ain't spraying and spraying, nigga. So. But no, it was cool because now it just opened up, it opened up more images, right?

And more images is what it's about. Right. There were definitely times when I'd be like, shit, I wish I could shoot more on this project, but I can't afford to process this film. So I'm going to save some money here. Yes. There were times when you had limitations based on on that. And now with digital, there's no limitation. So it's wonderful. How was it when you how did you get the assignment to photograph Wu Tang on stage and in some candid situations. How did that happen?

Man, it was in the works for a minute. It all started in 1988 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Damn, you old nigga. God damn. Shout out to the DMV, son. What you know about chicken wings and bubble sauce? I was two years old. Ain't nobody ask you how old you was.

And I don't know how I got this, but i was the table tape i did the table read i played method man's character right and and method man and red man neither one of them was there they was on speakerphone right day around they friends they probably smoking weed doing all types of shit i'm in a room with all white people right and speaker shit so i gotta read method man's part and every line he had i act like i was rapping i act like i was and it would be like this and do we it'll be something like i mean that's supposed to rhyme yeah it'll be like uh meet me at the store make sure you

pick up some blah blah and maybe you just want stuff like that. Yo, every time the nigga be taking this shit. And I'm be here taking the double. And it's real too, this shit like. Yo, I was the whole, I was method on everything, right? And I just thought I was ripping, right? Redman Petty Ass, that nigga petty as shit, son. After the table read was all over, he's like, yo, who the fuck was that nigga that played Method Man?

I was so hurt son i was sorry when he said that i love these niggas son i was like this oh man i gotta not fuck with red man i was like man i gotta not fuck with red man right and then i swear i couldn't wait for the day to me for me to cross this path again. Cause I know the nigga, I know he forgot. I know who didn't forget. Me, he was like, and I think this is the time I had returned to ask you, he was like, what happened to Ashley Larry? I was like, nigga.

Yo, I was like, all right man. You know, you be like, I'm like, all right man. I say, but you don't remember that, that was fucked up what you did, man. He was like, you don't remember that? That was fucked up what you did, man. He was like, what? I was like, that was fucked up what you did? So I was like, nigga, I was so petty. I was like, nigga, ain't nobody say it was Method Man, right?

I was like, I was just doing what I knew. He was like, oh, man, fuck that shit. But it was so funny, man. You couldn't tell me I was Method Man. And I'm telling you, I know everybody going to say, nigga, I get pussy too. I know all that. But right off the top, and I know motherfucking ghosts. I know that nigga get bitches. I know he get bitches so hard.

I was dating this bitch one time, Queen, right? Thank you. Queen. Right, Queen, Queen, Queen, right? And she played ghosts all the time. Like when we was smashing, I'm like, nigga, I'm smashing by myself. I don't want to be in a room with nobody from the Wu.

She loved that joint, so I know Ghost. Everybody get their shit. And I know motherfucker, I know Riz will be getting it popped. Well, not everybody's married now, but I know he'll get it popped. Were you married while doing this, or what was your experience just having the association with Wu-Tang?

Did you get pussy too? I mean, I was definitely married when I was shooting all this. Please don't ever ask a motherfucker a direct question like that. I got all stuttery. Yo, yo, Japan, you can't say it like this. Did you partake in the festivities? Wait, you said said you were married you're not married anymore no i am no okay currently married was married when i did this work was married yeah just a few years ago i was gonna say if you're not married anymore maybe it was because you were no no no no no i mean there's

there's there's there's people around for sure from what i saw but um you know i mean for this photo particularly how hard was it to get them together it was incredible is this the first portrait of them as a group like so this is the first portrait of them as a group all together standing in the same spot then in like 10 years because it's impossible to get the brothers together right because it's just if they're not at a show that you're not going to get them and they don't do stuff like this it shows so this was the reason this went down was my boy wood hit me and was like we're shooting the last episode of the showtime documentary right and that's showtime money so guaranteed these dudes

are showing up we're going to money oh no doubt cuz me being ghostface we were talking about doing a project right and we was talking about in the project and this nigga was speaking to me and whoo I didn't I couldn't translate right but I know he said get the bag at the end he's like yo we get this through the cartoon shit that, da-da-da-da, tell them niggas to give us the bag and we be good. I was like, I think we got to write something down, right? But they talk money.

Yo, Wu-Tang, I know they got their fans out there that love them, but they bought the money. So he showed up for the showtime. Yeah, so it was guaranteed they was all going to be there. So I sort of took a chance i so wood hit me was like here's an opportunity once you come out do this blah blah i was like cool i was i was beside myself happy about it right because we had talked about it for for a minute and what's a white word come on white word i'm sorry white words beside yourself happy

dearie a a word that explains excitement You're just Over the top What would a white man say Oh shit I would say amped up But that's a black word Amped up is not a black word Amped up is not a black word Amped might be a white guy thing Amped is a white guy thing

I got it Fucking pumped Yeah you were pumped But you can't just say pumped You gottaed. Yeah, yeah, you were pumped. I was pumped. But you can't just say pumped. You got to do this with a pump. You were fucking pumped. Yeah, you add fucking to it.

It also helps. Yeah. Fucking pumped. Go ahead. You were pumped. All right, so I was fucking pumped. Right. But there was no guarantees, right?

So I booked a ticket to fly from L.A. to New York. Got myself a nice little hotel room. It was like, fingers crossed. I hope this shit happens. And I really didn't know if it was going to happen nice little hotel room. It was like, fingers crossed. I hope this shit happens. And I really didn't know if it was going to happen, honestly, even though it was for them. So I roll up into Shaolin Sunday night. They're at this old theater. They was all in one room?

Was they wooed at the roost? Who had a meth head that smoked out? It was smoked out, right? It was 100%. Meth Man refused to go to Fucking Dubai Because he couldn't bring weed Yeah They was waiting

So they couldn't smoke until they were wrapped And so all the Showtime people are like Just 5 more minutes Showtime told them niggas they couldn't smoke Nobody could smoke I think RZA told them that That don't make sense to me. Well, they just didn't want to end the, you know, whatever.

But it smelled... Please believe that nobody was listening to that shit. I'm telling you, when you get into these places, you have to put the these niggas about to come up in here factor. You know what I'm saying? Like, you gotta... I mean, I know you gotta establish, because I've been around niggas. I've been around motherfuckers

that will pull them cigars out in a minute. You know what I'm saying? Dave Chappelle smoked the cigarette at the mark twain award you know i'm saying like wherever you see dave it just became the smoking section so it's just kind of hard for me to believe that showtime be like hey uh wu-tang guys if you're uh go outside i may be wrong i think it might have been maybe somebody saying, let's have a clear head and keep it straight. But go ahead. Yeah, no. What the fuck was I saying?

Well, I'm interested in your process. So when all of that is going on, what is your process as a photographer? Yeah, I mean, the process here was that RZA wanted, RZA wanted it shot on white because they wanted to drop in different backgrounds. RZA fuck white bitches. Look at them glasses, son. Yo, RZA wanted RZA wanted a shot on white because they wanted to drop in different backgrounds. RZA fuck white bitches. Look at them glasses, son. Yo, RZA is. He giving up

R. Kelly in that shot, son. Yeah. RZA is. It was really funny. So all the dudes would come up and I did individuals of everybody and we were sort of waiting for everybody to gather, which was kind of this amazing thing because like when they just start standing around, there's energy there. Right. You know, I mean, that's fucking Wu-Tang, right? that's right so everybody's waiting wait wait here comes bobby as soon as bobby walks

in the room everybody was on point really yeah he still gets that respect no he is the glue he's right i know i understand that yeah man it's amazing i understand that but even with that said if you think about like people and together as like even with that said it's always a couple like oh man and for you to say that he still gets that respect oh yeah most definitely i had a sketch group years ago and our schedule was dope as shit right and i had that and i was only like six months into it like of course people knew that it was my thing but they still was like ah whatever so that's just interesting to know that through everything they've been through whatever they still look at him like this is the man oh yeah no no yeah i mean as soon as rizzo walks in everybody sort of like

sort of got their shit together you know did he float in do he come in like with some like comfort and they get no pressure points no i did it floated in and there was like a light above him the whole time right it was crazy. He started spouting off some Taoism. So was this show... Oh, so this was just the shoot for the show. It wasn't like... This wasn't even for Showtime. This was just the idea that we knew they

were all going to be in one place. They needed press photos for the anniversary tour. And then it also turned into like a Wu-Wei shoot at the same time. So shout out shout out to woo wear shout out the power they were all uh all of a sudden told you them niggas know how to make money nigga look that's woo wear nigga that ain't gucci that's woo wear who wearing woos who wears it that's dope so so they needed pictures and so we just came in and

knocked it out but when when when bobby walked in when rizzo walked in it was like everybody tightened up he walked on set and was like was a nigga eating broccoli or something let's go no there's people playing chess and shit around no what was that nigga eat because he said he a vegan what did he have a curd in his mouth he might have had a smoothie in his pocket i ain't really smoothie some spinach or some shit like that yeah he's tofu yeah but know, he's living a healthy life. Yeah, so he come in and we knocked out some stuff by himself. And he set the tone because he's great in front of the camera. Right.

So we knocked out some amazing shots. And then, like, this image here. So then he's here. They start throwing on hoodies and then ghosts and meth walk in. So this photo right here is the same day of doing this, right? Yeah, yeah. All the stuff on the white is the same day of doing this, right? Yeah, yeah. All the stuff on the white is the same. Right.

But that's when it turned into a woo-wear shoot, and they just start throwing hoodies on and stuff like that. And it's hard because, you know, these dudes have been doing it for a long time, and they don't love having a picture taken. Yeah, I know. Right. Get them into it.

Especially with the thing like, okay, pose, like, ha, you know? Because I know, like, the guy that travels with Lenny Kravis, my man Matthew, Candyman on Instagram, they don't like to take, like, hey, it's like this, yo, just be a fly on a wall, you know? Yeah, I mean, these are people, they've been doing, they've been Wu-Tang for 25 plus years. Right. They know what the fuck to do. I didn't have to tell them anything you know they come in and and and i just be like hey what's up i'm kyle like let's go as soon as i put as soon as i bring my camera up they just they start moving and then we work we work together your name is kyle they trust you

yeah is the most white trustful name you have hey kyle come over and give me a hand hey kyle do you got a sd 459 card like you got all type you probably got all type of equipment so this was one day this was just an impromptu you're like oh shit they're gonna be there yeah that's that now and let me get the tour that was the the portraits um and then from there basically i met their people uh you know i met like the one of the managers that kind of oversees all all the group stuff Tyree Tyree sounds so much like a black man. They look over to over all the stuff Tyree. Yeah, Tyree's got a white girl Tyree's got a white girl to stop playing Sorry Sharif Khalifa all of those All them dudes. They got that. Go ahead. I'm sorry to interrupt you. Do you have any crazy Wu-Tang stories out of all your years filming them?

Do you have anything? Crazy Wu-Tang stories. I mean, to be honest, they're grown men. Like, most of them want to just knock it out, get their money, do the dope show, you know, kiss a couple cheeks, go back to the room, have a drink. Kiss a couple what? Cheeks? You know, just say what's up to the fans. You said kiss a couple cheeks go back to the room have a dream kiss a couple what you know just cheeks You said kiss a couple cheeks

So this right here this built that these are now going to the concert stuff you did where was this shot this shit you look at this this is some people have been in the game for over 25 years yeah and you can just feel the energy where was this picture where was this one so that's in la that's here that's at the shrine auditorium um uh the the energy that rizzo brings to the front of the stage you sound like you know what your voice you sound like a professional you sound like the voice that RZA talks to when he does the 36 chambers thing yo you got that calm that voice like and this is like your voice is very serious like and this is the point right here we were 3 30 like you just got that voice so this was at yes that's the shine auditorium here in LA um and right before then, like, so RZA is always, RZA loves to, like, put champagne onto the crowd, right? Spraying?

What is that shit called? He's spraying. That's a different kind of spraying, Prey, right there. Spraying? No, but he had just laced the crowd with champagne and then tossed a bottle. Who was that again? I'm sorry. Who was it?

Who did it? RZA. Yeah, RZA. Right. But was that again? I'm sorry. Who was it? Who did it? RZA. Yeah, RZA. Right. But no, his energy is amazing. I think RZA and Meth are the two that when they come to the front of the stage, it's a wrap. Right.

Like their energy and their intensity is just crazy. But yeah, so that was here in L.A. Who be up there like they don't want to be there? Like, man, get this shit over with. Somebody be like, somebody. Honestly, you could parlay that to be there. Like, man, get this shit over with. Somebody be like. Honestly, you could parlay that into another picture. Yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, go back to that picture.

Who didn't want to be? Ray Kwan didn't want to be there. Nah, nah. Ray. Ray was like. Ray is a god. He wants to be there. Deck is a god.

He wants to be there. Everybody wants to be there. Ray Kwan was like, nigga, I'm trying to smoke. Look, he look like he want to smoke. It look like. Yo, yo. He look like. Yo, nigga, what we. Did y'all order? What y'all order to eat? Yeah, where the food at? nigga i'm trying to smoke look he looked like he wanted to smoke it looked like yo yo he looked like yo nigga what we did y'all order what y'all order to eat yeah where the food at now um this

picture is interesting as hell to me first of all i love it just because i'm standing on stage with the gods and that pov is amazing because people don't get to see that but what's happening so i love that jizz is looking right at me when he's spitting those lyrics that's amazing but everybody's engaged and doing their own thing. But what happened in that picture is U-God is sort of the outlier. What do you mean by that? I'm pretty sure U-God has an active lawsuit against RZA. U-God is...

He got a... I think there's some lawsuits. There's some bad blood. It's current. Like shit. Some woo suits? Some woo suits. And them niggas took that picture? But so what happened so what happened here was you guys wait a minute now i go back

whoa but go ahead but like this is my brother i love him but he owes me money but that's business business business business you know they got a lot of that right um in that in that picture uh you got missed his lyric he he missed his spot and he fucked up and it was a blank and and he sort of took a like a whatever the fuck attitude about it so in that picture you got ray looking over at him like what the fuck man you missed your lyric right yo what nigga how many times we did this and then you you got Deck, who's picking him up. Deck and Ghost are picking him up right there with Master. And then you can barely see Meth, but Meth has a look on his face like, I'm about to come kick your ass right now. Like, what the fuck is you doing, son?

Like, what the fuck's the matter with you? So everybody looked like you had one job. Yeah, you got three lyrics to drop in this song, and you fucked up and messed up and didn't get it. So that was a fun little moment. You know, you got a lot of grown men doing the same, doing this for a long time. The picture right there, Meth, you can see why they think he's a superhero right now. Yo, Meth, that picture.

I love this picture so much. Meth is the energy. When they play live, he is the one that comes forward he is the one he wants to shine some of those dudes they just want to spit lyrics they don't have they don't even need to walk to the front of the stage but meth is that dude he's the charismatic guy and so when he comes to the front of the stage you know that picture says everything like ghost is loving it so much ghost is like yes son get it you know and they're all supporting him uh and meth is the dude like when when he steps to the front it's a yo ghost look

like he's like nigga you know you about to bust your ass too yeah ghost is like careful man we ain't got no insurance yo ghost face waist been a 34 for 10 years even wearing 48s forever so that nigga go never tight skinny jeans. Yo, the day... How funny, yo, that would be funny as shit. Ghost with some skinny jeans, son? That would be fucking hilarious. How do you pick the photo?

When do you go through all your photos and you're like, this is the one. That is the pain staking thing that happens, right? So like, let's just say from the la show i shoot probably about 1500 pics i'm gonna get that down to like a dozen and that process is crazy this frame here i probably had about four frames that were in contention

from the jump but i wanted the highest point in the jump and i love um ghost uh pointing at them and um so this is the one i went with but uh the editing process is oh man it's the hardest part i mean there are times when i'll send something to one of my homeboys be like hey man tell me tell me which of these three frames you like best because i've been staring at this shit for two hours and i guess i don't know i'm trying your call has been forwarded to an automatic voicemail. Oh, you want to play your voicemail? No, no, no. I want to play my voicemail. One of my friends that work really, really, really, really closely. I don't know if they're going to pick the phone up.

I always give voicemail. People always give me voicemail. Nobody answers the phone anymore. Yes, they do. Yeah, maybe. Call him, Bobby? Nope. Ah, boy.

I don't... People never... Don't disrespect people. People are warning, Donnell. I did. I told them. I just was... It was Angela Yee.

I just was on a live with her an hour ago, and I told her I was gonna call, and now the people don't wanna pick up my fuckin' phone calls. And they call themselves my friends.'s not fucking fair so when the concert is over is it like okay everybody like most professional athletes when it's over like ain't nobody hanging I was like everybody goes their different ways and it's like they're gone that's it

yes and no um we were in Atlanta, and it was a really cool moment. And unfortunately, I was. Oh, hold on. I'm sorry. Hold on. Oh, she's back. Hello? Hello?

Hello? Can you hear me? Yes. All right, Angela, listen, before you disrespect me, I'm doing my live podcast. It's not a live podcast. It's a recorded podcast right so we have cal uh christy he photographed yu-tang clan some years ago you know i'm young wu-tang clan some years ago and he's got just one picture of all them together they haven't been

together like that in a while and i told people i got big time celebrities that not just know of the woo but have woo relationships and i know back in the day you used to manage jizzle well yes first my first job out of college was working for wu tang and i interned there when i was what wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute yee a wu turn wait a minute let me talk son let me talk so your first job out of college, you was working with Wu-Tang. Yes. And where were they in their career? Were they just starting with 36 Chambers? Like, where was it?

Was they already popping or it was like they was bubbling up? I did not graduate from college when 36 Chambers was out. This is when Wu-Tang Forever was out. Okay, Yee. All right. We already know you disrespect me. All right. You know what I was trying to say.

Okay? You know what I was trying to say. So, you come straight out of college and you working for Wu-Tang? Yes. In what capacity? I was assistant to the CEO. That was Divine. Oh, that sounds like somebody was getting that pussy out.

No, I'm joking, Yee. I'm joking. I know your pussy ain't true. I mean, I know you keep saying my dick trash. That's why I said that. It was a joke, okay? That's a terrible joke down there. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. We can close a lot of doors for you now. All right. Well, we're closed. It's all about being my truth and giving people options. So you're fresh out of college. You work for Wu-Tang, right? Mm-hmm. And how do you go from working on wu-tang to managing jZA so I worked for wu-tang and um when I left there I went to go work for

D'Angelo at Virgin Records. Anyway, you're so immature. Yes. It just shows what your type of relationships are. And I know nobody was hiring you with that trash dick. Oh. Go continue. Moving on. Moving on.

I did still help out the guys a lot. And how it really happened, I'm working for Jizz. And he was supposed to go on tour. And the person that was managing him at the time, he could not leave the country. And so it was a last minute How's your ass niggas going to jail? Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry. So because

he didn't know who to count and who could get a passport to leave he asked me and at the last minute I ended up having to like get my passport and then after that I was just basically his manager so you went on tour with Wu-Tang I did all that oh my god how was it how was it being a part of that and that process went like back then this was the time we talk about this one method man was part this is the question we had.

Who you say probably got the most, was getting the most ass out of the group? Method Man, right? Yeah, Method Man was the most popular one back then. And popular one. She didn't want to ask you so politically correct. Who was fucking these bitches? Okay, no. But I will say this.

He was, I remember being at shows backstage and girls would be like following him and he really was not paying that any attention he was actually very nice but i remember one girl he had to hide in the bathroom he had a bitch in the bathroom he had to hide in the bathroom because she wouldn't leave and she was just following him and then he was like i'm going to take a shit and he was like okay i'll wait man with me it was met the mad ghost face probably running that go met the mad ghost and and and and rizza got them i know they got the most play um i don't know it's hard to say i think you know the guys just they weren't really on it like that to be honest like backstage first of all RZA, DZA like those guys Master

Killers they was just playing chess the whole time. All them smart niggas man. Yeah they would have these long chess tournaments it wasn't even like that. Oh damn that ain't one of them to hear I wanted to hear them niggas. And then there was so many people all the time like especially if we were in New York, it would be so packed. It wasn't even, it was like a party. So you never heard nobody go to the bathroom. It's quiet. Somebody like tiptoeing.

And then at the end of you heard, uh, It'd probably be the entourage. Cause their entourage was so big. Yeah. It's always the woo-ee niggas. It's always the ones that are woo-ish. always the ones that that are woo ish those the ones that be getting the most ass out of everybody hey you you work closely with them right and i know this now i don't know this kind of question but was there ever like female woos like a feet

like did they ever have any protégés on the female side of the day they bought yeah they had um taquita was signed to them who um taquita what's her name katitha taquita i don't know i sound woosh um they had another woman blue raspberry that was down with them i'm trying to think of who else. See, I'm going to forget, and I don't want to forget anybody. But, yeah, they had a couple. I mean, it was very male-dominated, though. You know, they had Killer Army, Sons of Men, RZA had Grave Diggers, and everybody had their people.

There was Street Life. There was, you know, Capadonna wasn't one of the nine members, so Capadonna. Good. When you were coming out of school, was that like when you were very young then? Did you feel as if that was the greatest job ever? You know, interestingly enough, when I was in college and I was asked to intern there, I didn't want to do it because I was like, I don't know about these guys. I don't want to be around that.

It just seemed like it would be too much. But when I actually started working there, it was way different than I thought it would be. They're so protective and they're very family oriented. So everybody's kind of family. Like it's somebody's cousins, a receptionist, you know, a methadone sister works in the office. This person's cousin does marketing. It's like everything was family. So, it just felt like a really good place to be.

You know, and it gave me a lot of freedom to learn and do things. That sounds like me on the goddamn Chappelle Show. Yeah, I actually booked Dizzo for the Chappelle Show. He was on the first ever episode. Oh, that's so funny. I didn't even know I was going to fuck with you gonna with you well we was with each other close around that time weren't we yeah we were weren't we yeah yeah yeah we knew each other and i had him on the Chappelle show i was actually on the episode two sitting right next to dave which one which

is his very first episode oh all right nobody want to hear about your little acting job all right okay so yo and with that said people wouldn't know you probably did get paid i was broke bitch yo i wasn't making money on no money on that show but they was starting to know me so how did that how did that know because a lot of people i don't know if people know your complete story, but how did you go? What was the trend? Like, what was it? I know you didn't get fired.

I know you didn't get fired, right? So what was it? There was another move or a bigger move? So what happened when that relationship was kind of dead? So what happened was I got another job offer. And it was a friend of mine Who at the time He was working for MTV

And you know what You know He was really good friends With Artie Fuqua I know Artie Fuqua Yep Yeah so my friend Fred Jordan

He's passed away now But Fred Jordan I was his intern One summer And he was like Look Fred the God Fred the God son No his name is fred jordan

oh this is what i want to ask you don't let me get distracted at your last birthday was fred the godson at your party no he wasn't at the last one no okay go ahead go ahead with your story i'm sorry um so yeah so he actually used to be like come on angela i want to get you in some other shit and he was real cool with the angelo's manager at the time so he was like look there's an opening they're starting a new label and they want you to be the general manager and look they offered me a lot more money than i was making you said i'm about to be rich bitch i'm out of here yo she made a woo tag ain't nothing fuck would move he was like this woo shit is good, but they got some Wu-Wu money over there. Cash rules, everything around her.

And it felt like, you know, it felt like a big position, but it was a bad move. They was supportive then, right? Yeah, we was always still cool after that. As a matter of fact, Devine was really disappointed. I remember going to talk to him about it, and I was like, I wanted to talk to you, and he was like, oh, I just wanted to say he was like, you're doing a great job.

Somebody just called me and was just saying how pleasant you are to work with. And I felt so bad because then I was like, okay, well. So you've been perfect your whole fucking career. You've never been fired from a job. I've been twice. Actually, I've been once fired I've been one fired once laid off well okay I'm getting fired there was the same thing late office yeah but what was the reason that cuz I cannot see a reason for you to be fired from anything well the

actual job that I left unfortunately to go to Me and I didn't do it and then he fired me what year was this Well, this was right after my Wu-Tang job. Man, what no me too. You should have let him hit that. Shut up. I didn't want to. You mean you had integrity? You supposed to let him hit that?

You could have been. First of all, he was disgusting. He was disgusting? See? She didn't say. Oh, no. She didn't say he was disgusting. We know about them tramp motherfuckers.

You know who them niggas are? They always want they be in Italy. Girls be taking a picture in Italy. He look like that disgusting dude. So, yo, yo, ye, you want to go back and meet to him? We can get some money. What are you, dead now? Oh.

Oh. Oh, I ain't even going to put the one and two together because there's been a lot of RIPs lately. I'll just leave it at that. God damn it that's what people don't know that you were a champion and you got fired and you never said nothing you know i i did talk about it like you know at the time but i didn't feel like i could really do anything like what was i going to do i a kid. I didn't have a lot of money. I couldn't really hire a lawyer. I don't think people really care that much.

Yee, what you're saying right now is everything that I support about the Me Too movement and what it needs to stand for. Like, you know, my platforms are always funny, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But what you said is what a lot of women deal with. And what you said is what a lot of women deal with and it's what you said is so crystal clear of what a lot of women deal with and the thing that i appreciate mostly about the me too movie is just putting pressure on motherfuckers to not be stupid and and do dumb shit you know because there are a lot of ye's out there that like in that moment that moment in your life, you had to think of a lot of things.

You had to think of your morals, your integrity, your future, and everything. And in that moment, you didn't choose to put it on a nigga. Did they give you money when you left? Yeah, you know, I think it was a lot for me back then. And I was fortunate because that same day i went out and got another job cape jobs you sure you ain't got no jamaican in you you got another i know you always tell you is i will stay with something going on some type of stream of income coming in somehow i know you got your only fans but yo but i'm doing yo ain't nobody subscribed to me you won't even subscribe to my

shit you thought about me man you thought i was you thought about subscribe, but when I told you I was one actually strip He was like delete you was like unfollow you unfollow me told all your little punk ass lip service girls to Know I got some good angles big I got some good egg. got a couple shots you can go i'll let you leak them you gotta take your shots from underneath though to make things look bigger that is my angle yo you know the angles wait a minute wait a minute yo ye has had the eye of a photographer. She will just straight dismiss that nigga. Get out of here, nigga. Let's go over top, nigga. Aerial view.

You just said underneath. That is funny as a motherfucker. But the history I know, whenever I share the story about you and our relationship, it's like I don't know if people, and I may be wrong, I don't think you ever had aspirations to be a radio personality. Am I correct by saying it? It just happened?

Yeah, you're correct. You know how we really know each other? It's through, like, Mark Theobald. I knew that! I told you this bitch didn't even want to do radio! I meant that in the most queen way here. You know I respect you, but I tell people all the time, how is she, blah, blah. I told you this bitch didn't even want to do radio. I meant that in the most queen way. You know I respect you, but I tell people all the time, how is she, blah, blah. I'm like this.

She didn't even want to do this shit. It's the truth. It's all in your place. What was it? Okay, me, you, Mark Theobald. I remember you used to do product placement. You used to give motherfuckers clothes to wear. Yeah, I used to do clothes.

But, you know, I actually used to help put together and promote this comedy night at boston comedy club with dean edwards mark theobald and todd lynn that wasn't nigga night was it it was empty night it was okay all right go ahead i remember all the rrp uh todd lynn right so i actually helped put that together with them. And then that's how I actually ended up meeting you. So when was it? Yee. This is a tough question.

You were performing like in Two Steps Down or something. Do you remember that? When was it? I do remember that. That was you. Two Steps. It was right on. In Clinton Hills.

I used to live right around the corner. When was the moment that you fell in love with me, Yee? What was that moment? What was it? What was that moment? I think it was when I beat you at ping pong. No, that was way before. That's not what I'm asking you, Yee.

When was that moment that you said, if I can't have him, ain't nobody going to have him? When was that? What was that moment? I think that I've always kind of just felt bad for you yo i'll take it any kind of way sympathy like oh i'll tell you this that's how i get it oh i feel sorry for the skinny big head ass but i was so bad i was like man i feel so bad for john now man let me just no you did i will have to share this story i forgot angela yee last day asia yee right so when i was in uh i was in the efforts i used to love playing ping pong i No, you did. I will have to share this story. I forgot Ashley Yee. Last name, Asia Yee, right? So when I was in the Air Force, I used to love playing ping pong.

I used to play with the Korean dudes over there. And I don't know, how did I even bring the conversation up? Where did I say, I'm going to challenge you to a ping pong game? I don't know where I got it. We were hosting the online hip-hop award. Yeah, I remember that, but I'm just trying to figure out what gave me the nerve to say i don't know you were like son you ever played ping pong i was talking shit i didn't do no i was talking shit right and then she was like sure donnell and i swear to god man

she beat the shit out of me son yo she beat the shit out of me i think she had heels on i had a heels i had some uh what was the name of these shoes i was so proud of these dress shoes you had a clog i had no goddamn clogs on i had no goddamn i said alexander i don't know god damn it i can't remember but i had these they was hard bottoms yo yo yo let me tell you something man an asian person's serve will fucking almost pop your kneecap son she was doing some special spin shit on that shit and she had a drinking water heads no she didn't have it in her hand she would go take a sip come back beat the shit out of me she was like like, Donio, you remember, motherfucker? I'm half Asian, nigga. And Donio was doing crazy. He was running like he was playing tennis.

I wanted to win. Fuck everything. I know she said it. It was serious to me. You know I'm sensitive. I'm a sensitive. And I'm an artist. I'm sensitive about my stuff.

So, and I know you got things to do. So, from where did you get the Shade 45? That was the first on-air radio job you had, right? Yeah. I was, you know what? It all is connected to Wu-Tang because when I worked for Wu-Tang. You know why, Angela Yee? Because Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Go ahead. Oh, Lord. Oh, yeah I would like when I was working for them. We had this thing called Park Hill day It was like a event they did every year with a block party It was a gift back like boo-ting would come out at Park Hill in Staten Island and they was put on a concert Everything was free. They had like all kinds of health booths and games and stuff set up for the kids And so I had Eminem come out one year and perform at it and this is before he was signed to Dr. Dre and everything. He was with Rosenberg? Not Rosenberg was he with um

Yeah he was. He was with Paul Rosenberg and I had seen Eminem perform at Lyricist Lounge at these competitions they would have in the city so I was like yo he's dope I'm gonna have him come and open and it was a big deal for Eminem at the time. So he came, he performed, and they loved him. They were like, yo, that kid is dope, whatever, whatever. And then after that, Paul and I were always cool, because Paul's Eminem's manager. So we were just cool after that.

I interviewed them before. I interviewed, I'm sorry, I just got to look, because I used to interview. I interviewed Eminem and D12 years ago. It was so funny. This was when i was over at hot 97 and they didn't want nobody they they only let me do the interview that was oh really yeah they only let me really like you yeah they i went on set after the last album d12 did i went on set

with them and i was so proud i gave my fucking eminem a poster of ashyarrigan. I said, I was so happy, but they was always dope. But go ahead. So then that happened. Yeah. So anyway, after that, and I would give Eminem clothes. So, you know, like you said, I would give people clothes. I was doing product placement. So this was before he was really on like that.

So I was always sending him clothes and they just appreciated that. And so when I had the opportunity to go work with them, you know, Paul used to always be like, yo, at some point we're going to work together on something. And so first I worked for Eminem's clothing line. And I actually, at the Chappelle Show premiere for the first ever season, that's where I saw Paul Rosenberg. He was there. And that's where he actually offered me the job to come work for the clothing line. And whenever you saw Paul Rosenberg, you know Eminem was somewhere.

You just knew it. No, because he didn't used to be. Eminem's never really been in New York like that right he likes to be a Detroit so and Paul was here you know so after that I I ended up working at the radio station at a 45 because I wanted to do marketing and Paul was like yo let's just try you on the air and you had no experience nope no experience that was so dope because when you when i first found out you had a job i'm like how the fuck is she on the radio you was hating right no i wasn't i love you i was like no no no no i wasn't hating on you yeah i

was like this i know i was like if she on the radio i know i can get on the radio right but no it was just it was just it took me a while because it was so out of like we'd never you've never had it's one thing for someone to have that conversation like I'm doing this job but this is what my goal this is what I want it was like something that came out of nowhere it was never like fuck this I want to do radio so it was definitely surprising for me to know that's what you were doing and then like i was like then what's her angle who is she she gots to be or whatever but then when i started listening to it and i was like she just angela yee she's just a dope chick and then you had that situation

which someone that never aspired to do something people to be content with that and then you had another opportunity how did that what you had to leave again you stay leaving niggas for for them come up so when did you tell fucking J 45 to get these nuts well you know what I had gotten numerous job offers I got a job offer at hot 97 you know her and then I got one in Philly one in Atlanta and then New York team and so obviously New York's number one market so that was the one that I really wanted when they gave me that opportunity so and listen I did things the right way before I told the people at serious you did you did things the right thing you didn't nobody get to the top i definitely didn't but you know something to do that

what's their names what's their names no you keep it to yourself i'll call you go ahead you know what's funny though that you say that because when i first started working in series you see how you hated on me getting a lot of people were like Who did he fuck to get this job? And even one of my buses at serious way later told me that he was like he had to have slept with somebody I don't even know why this pick ain't never get radio What? What you say oh Oh view if my if I was a position of power Oh, I would I would have been I would have straight out of been charged

What's what's her name Don't try to switch it up don't try switching I'm in pulmonary cruise on me don't try to pull the track you try to I'm wide away. you can't get me with that homo shit try that on the other platform okay so anyway so people really didn't say that about me it was like it was bad because it was people that knew me that was like damn but you know what there wasn't there wasn't really nobody there to speak with i know but i'm telling you like everybody think oh shit that's how dumb men think at times right and i was like this thing i There wasn't really nobody there to speak with. I know, but I'm telling you, like, everybody thinks, oh, shit, because that's how dumb men think at times, right?

And I was like, I used to see you in these spots. But then as I, you know, motherfuckers, I've never known you to have a reputation. You know what I'm saying? I just be minding my business, man. I know, but I'm telling you, I know one thing. I ain't trying to drink with you. I know you put a nigga down. You would run a bunch of nigg dick into getting on a motorcycle and driving

and driving across a bicycle not a motorcycle it was a scooter it was a gangster ass vespa you know what a vest is 125 powered cc's that's a harley where i came from that's a that's a harley when that way i consider it so that would happen and then did you did you ever uh anticipate that uh because this was all new because i remember i was at the breakfast of doing morning show did you ever anticipate that this new endeavor putting some people together that you don't know if they're going to fit but they okay they could be this person they could be did you ever think that it would get to the point where it's like a part of pop culture where it's like and i know this personally even though i don't fuck with fuck boy we brothers or whatever but i know the effect of the breakfast

club because wherever i go it don't matter where i go it's i could be in france the guy the why you let them dc you Yo Everywhere I go And I've done a lot of things They always talk about Yo Yo They be fuck with you In the breakfast club

Yo I love you in the breakfast club But did you ever feel like That you was to be a part of A platform that Pretty much makes history I would say You would never anticipate

That happening If you planned it It probably wouldn't happen Right You know So it just I never thought It would it probably wouldn't happen. I never thought it would be this big of a deal. I never even thought we'd be in this many markets or that it would

last for 10 years counting so far. I would say definitely not. Even when you first were coming on The Breakfast Club, that's when you were in love with August Alsina. I wasn't in love with no motherfucking August. I liked his shit. Who said they was in love with him?

Which should be expected because she's half Asian.

She's promoting my dick as being trash. Doesn't really matter because I'm not even using it right now. She worked with the U- you uh wu-tang at the beginning of her career she has stories that you were paid to listen to and hear she doesn't share what was a very interesting and weird Chain of events or story When you were connected with Wu-Tang I think some of the best stories Are with old dirty bastards

Of course Give me And so one time we had a meeting And you know you never would think that he would show up For something but I had a meeting I think it was with Princeint or something like that. And so I was with the guy who did marketing and Dirty actually met up with us and we left to go to the building.

We actually got to the building, walked inside and I was like, I can't believe Dirty's really coming to this meeting because he never really show up for stuff. Then he met a woman in the lobby and left. Y'all niggas, that's who I am in the Wu-Tang Clan. Y'all, y'all,

I'm telling you, I would have been, gee, you were close to them. You were there when they were giving people names where it wasn't even real Wu's. It was bitch-ass Wu's.

It was fake-ass Wu's. Nigga, you ain't even the Wu. If I was a Wu and you had to give me a Wu name, what would my Wu name be? Little Dick Bastard
