You know what I'm saying? Houston's and Hillstone's Corporation, man, have proved that they have a culture of discrimination. And I've heard from different people at different times, at different locations about different levels of discrimination. Even people like Rick Ross. Right. You know what I'm saying?

He experienced Waka Flocka Mama, Miss Dale. Wow. My old lady, Tamika. You know what I'm saying? He experienced Waka Flocka Mama, Miss Dale. Wow. My old lady, Tamika. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, they have this

loose, broad-based policy of things that they choose to enforce when they're dealing with us. You know what I mean? But like for instance,

let's just say no hats. If it's no hats, when I go in there and I see other people that don't look like me with hats on, but you just turned somebody who did look like me with hats on, but you just turned somebody who did look like me

away for a hat, you know what I'm saying? That's systemic discrimination. Right, right. Let's make some noise for T.I. standing up for us. God damn it. So now,

how's it work? We'll start with you. You start with the ladies first. Hey, can you give me your mic for a second? Yes, sir. So how is it working with a legend like T.I.?

I mean, it's a competition. Oh, you're trying to take him out. You get on the track with him and burn him down. You got to. Okay, okay. You got to. Okay, okay. And you enjoy that?

You enjoy being in competition? Yeah, I enjoy it because I do it well. Okay, and you from Atlanta? Oh, no, no, no, no. You just disrespect me. Where you from? I'm sorry. I'm from Florida. I'm from New Orleans. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Okay. And you from Atlanta? Oh, no, no, no, no. You just dissed this thing. Where you from? I'm sorry. I'm from Florida.

I'm from Duval. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Duval. Okay. What part of Florida? What part? Duval.

I'm from Duval. Duval. You got to say Duval, not Duval. Yeah, yeah. I'm from New York. I'm so sorry. Yeah, so how about you brothers? How about you brothers working with T.I.?

Yeah, yeah. It's your boy Trans Lee, man. We in the building. Alabama is in the building. We made it, baby. But it's an honor, man. Whenever you get to work with the king, man, you know, you, man. We in the building. Alabama is in the building. We made it, baby. But it's an honor, man. Whenever you get to work with the king, man, you really want to go in there and do your best. And this man is the greatest at what he do.

So he make everybody else be the greatest at what they do. You know what I'm saying? So it's a blessing, man. It's a blessing to stand in front of y'all today. So Hustle Gang, We Want Smoke is out right now, man. So let's get it. That's right. Y'all smoking marijuana or y'all good?

We want all the smoke. We want all the smoke. Every kind smoking marijuana or y'all good? We want all the smoke. We want all the smoke. Every kind of smoke. Not just marijuana smoke. We want all the smoke. Okay. All that. We want broke stove smoke.

You know what I'm saying? Fire plate smoke. We want busted manifold cracked exhaust smoke. We want train smoke. We want all the smoke, man. We want the burnt weave smoke. We want all the... Burnt weave smoke. Yeah want all the smoke, man. We want the burnt weave smoke. We want all the...

The burnt weave smoke. Yeah, all the... Yeah, you know when the girl, man, when they be done burnt their weave, got it caught in the hot curler. Yeah, we want that smoke, too. Bring it on. We want that, too.

Bring it. T.I., quick question. I want to share with you. What I like about what the South is doing is how y'all always put people on. It's like no hating. You're always showing success for other artists. And can you explain the success of that or what gives y'all the motivation to keep putting people on? Because everybody needs to understand that once

you get to a certain level, you got to give back and put other people on to just to build an empire. Well, I mean, I do agree that, you know, you only going to be remembered for the amount of opportunities you created for other people. You know what I'm saying? More so than you are remembered for the amount of opportunities that you created for yourself. Right. I think that's anywhere, not just the South. That's right. It's just that we have so much talent around us.

People that, like, it just flows through us. Like, you can't be in Atlanta and not meet somebody who dope. Right. You know what I'm saying? And if we meet somebody who dope and we have a platform

or a connect where we can introduce this someone who we know that's dope to someone who can, you know,

help create opportunities and expand their horizons and let them cultivate their talent. Right. I just think it's a blessing so I just want to give

a heads up to you on that. And Atlanta seems to have always been that way and it's been a great example for everybody else around the country in terms of the industry. Right.

I totally agree. Does this mean there's a Hustle Gang compilation album? It does. It's already out. It's called We Won't Smoke. It came out yesterday. And it's still Grand Hustle.

It's still Grand Hustle. You know what I'm saying? Hustle Gang is... Hustle Gang Grand Hustle. Hustle Gang Grand Hustle It's still Grand Hustle You know what I'm saying Hustle Gang Hustle Gang Grand Hustle Hustle Gang Grand Hustle Is one and the same Okay

Yeah Okay Well that's what I'm talking about man Y'all I said I have to Pull my own joint How did you know Oh nah nah nah

Hey, man, but you know what? One thing I can say about everybody up here on this stage, man, they all dope in different ways. You dig what I'm saying? And that's one thing about Hustle Gang, man. What I always envisioned was like an institution of culture, not just like a record label. You know what I'm saying? So you can come here, man, whatever it is that you have it in your eyes or in your heart or in your mind to do,

I mean, it's vision. It's vision. I can go from how I saw Tokyo Jets freestyling in her car on Instagram, and that's where it created our relationship to when I saw Ra-Ra, you know what I'm saying, kicking his flay.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding. But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. The demand curve in action.

And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Business Week editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing. So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams, and best-selling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the

West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future

where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad.

What happened? All right, I'm getting some notes from Revolt. First of all, shout out to Sirach Hustle Hour for that open bar. And for all of Revolt Music Conference, you guys can answer this. What's your biggest tip to keep your hustle going? Oh, man, you got to be willing to put in the work. You know, you got to not complain about how long you've been grinding before you get paid. You know what I'm saying?

That's the first thing. You just got to work with your head down and be doing so much work that you don't even notice that the money started coming in yet. You know what I'm saying? You don't even notice. You got to work so hard until the money coming in so fast you ain't got time to spend it. You know, and don't celebrate success so long.

Take some time. Thank God. You know what I'm saying? Have a good meal about it. Turn up a night and get back to it. It's time to prepare for the celebration of the success of tomorrow. And, you know, you just got to remain true to who you are. Now, what's the Hustle TV gang?

What you mean? I heard you got Hustle TV. Yeah. Television, film and television. Okay. Yeah. So movies and all. Is it in particular projects that's on that right now?

Man, it's a mouthful. Let me see here. Because didn't you do a movie with Mike Epps recently? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's Hustle Gang? On the film side, absolutely. On the film side. That's actually Grand Hustle Films.

It's called The Trap. Myself, Mike Yeltsin, Tiana Taylor. Queen Latifah. Duval. Queen Latifah. It's called The Trap. Myself, Mike Yeltsin, Teyana Taylor, Duval, Queen Latifah, you know what I'm saying? Big budget. K-Dub. So many people, man. DC Young Fly. You know what I mean? It's basically

me and Mike play brothers and we own a chicken shack. Our family owns a chicken shack. Mike ain't doing nothing but selling weed out of it. Our mama end up in a chicken shed. Our family owns a chicken shed. Mike ain't doing nothing but selling weed out of it. So, you know what I'm saying? Our mama end up in a position where we need some money and we got to figure that. So, you know, just seeing

all of us, man, I could have did that for 10 years. If that was a TV show, we'd have did that for 10 years. That's the most fun I had on set ever in life. Now, being in this game all these years, what's the motivation to keep going besides the money? Like, the money is one thing.

We know the money feeds our family. But when you're in this game for as long as you've been in it, it has to be something more than money. What keeps T.I. going? I mean, it's the passion. It's the passion of wanting to create something great and just push the culture forward, contribute to the generation, like creating opportunities and, you know, being the example.

I think it got to get bigger than music at some point. It can't just be about rapping and dropping an album, you know, because I've had so many platinum albums, so many number ones and so many awards. Floss on them to y'all! Talk that shit! I mean, I'm just saying, like

you can only do that for so long until it's like, alright, come on man, okay, it's another album, okay he's gonna, you know what I'm saying? In order for you to remain relevant to the culture, you gotta create opportunities for the people around you. You know what I'm saying?

You gotta introduce something to the game that's bigger than you. Based on what you're saying though, do you think, the South is obviously making its money. Do you think it got its respect that it was always trying to vibe for? Within hip hop specifically. I mean, I think that comes with performance.

If you perform at a high level, then you refuse to be ignored. You can't ignore something that is clearly dominating a field continuously over and over, year after year after year. You must respect it. Because you look like the fool at this point.

If not, you know? Would you want your son, Demani, to sign the Grand Hustle? I mean, he don't. And me and him had this discussion, by the way. I gave him a chain and he was like, I don't know. What does this mean? You know what I'm saying? And I told him, I said, man, I don't care what you do with your music.

You still own a piece of it. It's yours by right. You choose. You can put your music out wherever you want to. But you still own a piece of this. Man, we're both. Well, they

giving us a text telling us that the Hustle Gang got to go. I want everybody to show them some love. Show the Hustle Gang some love. Yo everybody to show them some love show the Hustle Gang some love yo my man T.I. for life baby yo yo man

We got Tuma Bassett. Where's Tuma at? And we got Kent. Legendary DJ Clark Kent. We got Tuma Bassett. Where's Tuma at? And we got Orlando, a.k.a. This is executive shit right now, y'all. All right, all right. We got the whole clique in the building. I'm going to tell y'all right now. I'm going to tell y'all right now.

Y'all inspiring artists, when you see an artist and you come up to an artist, this is where you fucking up. These are the motherfuckers you got to come up to. These motherfuckers right here. Who you... Listen, listen. Who you sign? Tell them who you sign. Fetty. Fetty Wap. Make some noise for Fetty Wap. Yeah. Who else you sign? Kodak.

Kodak. Kodak Black. XXL. Kodak Black. You got me... Cardi B got me fucked up. Sorry. Kodak Black. PnB. PnB. P&B, right? Listen, man. This guy got the hot hand in the industry right now.

Make some noise for Orlando, my motherfucking nigga. This the legendary DJ Clark Kent. He got every pair of sneakers. Legendary. Every pair of sneakers everywhere. I go on his gram just to hate sometimes. You know, I just go on your gram just to be like, he's disgusting with it. You're allowed.

Yo, yo. Yo, Clark, you've worked with so many people. What was your favorite session you ever had? Favorite session? I know it's a bigger J. I know we're going to, you're going to keep it BK. And it's a bigger J. Don't put words in his mouth.

I'm actually going to, I'm not going to say bigger or J. I'm going to say... Just close to that? Because you want to be petty? When we make closer, I'm going to be petty. He killed that! He killed that! But the reason why is because Big and J, we were all making records. Right. But me and you

never made a record. Right. And you did not know how to make records. I did not know how to make a record. No, it's a fact. But you listened. But I listened. And we made a great record. I think it was like the first time I listened too.

Because back then, producers would, they would have to come and have to lay the beat. I thought that was Superdark about to play. Producers would have to come and play the beat and they would usually leave. You came, made the beat, did it there, and you stayed. So I figured if this nigga stayed,

and I had like 45 niggas there, and he just stayed, he didn't care. But that's the difference. Beat makers lay the beat and leave. Producers make the record. Make some noise for that, goddammit! Now, we got my good friend. Oh, you're gonna drop the mic?

We got my good friend. Oh, I'm not dropping. Useless. This is now. If you got to get on Spotify, you got to get your shit. Let me tell you something. Up and coming artists, up and coming execs, I haven't thrown out a record legitimately. Legitimately?

You know what I mean. Legitimately. You can make up words. In years, right? So we called all the top radio guys, right? Because that's what you got to do when you're coming out of the record you call. We're not on no label, so we called it all the top radio guys right because that's what you got to do when you're coming out of the record you call we're not on no label so we call ourselves we got to cut we got to get the bag the first thing they said is i said uh we want to attack this record we want to get

you know the street teams the first thing they said is you got to get your spotify right and in case y'all don't know who this man is right here, when they come to Spotify and they come to hip-hop, and they got cereal at Spotify for no reason. Like, you just walk into the Spotify office, they got cereal. What kind of cereal? They had everything. It's so fly. This is Tuma. Make some noise for Tuma. Now,

Tuma, you worked from MTV, BET. How different is it? And Revolt. Revolt? Revolt? Yeah, big up Revolt, definitely, always. How different is that from going from that to Spotify type of stuff? It's different because of the access to information that we have in Spotify.

We can see what people are searching for, what people are saving, what people are adding to their own playlist. We can see people are skipping records. people are adding to their own playlists, we can see people are skipping records. So the... It's serious analytics going on. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

So the other places, yeah, you had like call out research and you know, you could look at BDS, you could look at a lot but it was happening outside. This is happening inside, so it's very, very accurate. And instant, I would assume. Real time, no, no, no, no. That's annoying. When you look at your fan insights, you can even see how many people listen to you in that moment. It's like a stock ticker.

Changing, changing, changing, changing. I'm going to tell you something. I went to Spotify office. It was so rich. They had beds there. You could get a massage. You could get your nails done. Roll dice.

And get a haircut. This shit was crazy. Eating lobster. I said, yo, I said, they take care of their workers, you know what I'm saying? So, with that being said, Orlando, you being at Atlantic, and I seen how, I seen how, when you first was there, and then I seen how you are now, like,

it's, you right there, like the top people. You're getting it, you're getting it. God damn it, it's like, you got that, that makes you know you're getting it, god damn it it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it.

You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it.

You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You're getting it. You got to relax. We got a smoking room in our office. We got a smoking room? Jeez Louise, I got to get signed to Atlantic.

Somebody cut me a check. Come to Atlantic. You do like the majors. Nice life. Let me tell you something about hip hop offices and studios. A lot of hip hop artists owe so much to offices and studios because we would hang out there just not to be on the street. You know what I'm saying? Just not to be on the street.

So I'll big you up. So Clark Kent, what do you enjoy more? Producing or DJing? DJing. You said that very fast. Yeah. I enjoy DJing way better because it's instinct. I was about to say that.

You was a DJ first. I was a DJ first. I mean, I've been a DJ for a long time. Producing is cool, but DJ first. I mean, I've been a DJ for a long time. Producing is cool, but for me to produce now, I have to be inspired. And there's so much that's not inspiring that I'd rather play the records. You think a DJ's always going to be a better producer than someone that wasn't a DJ? I would like to hope so. I would think so. And I would like to say so, but Leon Ware wasn't a DJ.

Quincy Jones wasn't a DJ. I mean, wasn't a DJ. Quincy Jones wasn't a DJ. Pharrell's not a DJ. And Pharrell's top two, and he's not number two. Okay. And me and Pharrell got a record out. Uno mas. Uno mas. Me and Pharrell got a record out.

I don't know why. Shameless plug. I felt like Clark gave me the alley-oop. I just had to dunk it. What's the remix? Otra vez? Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a minute. If you think about it, you gave Pharrell the alley-oop. I just had to dunk it. What's the remix? Otra Vez? Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a minute.

If you think about it, you gave Pharrell the alley-oop. That's a fact. I think you're going to make some noise for that. I think you're going to make some noise for that. Now, where's your favorite place to DJ at? Japan. I just feel like you're going to go say Japan. I don't know why. I'm going to say any club that's full.

I don't care where it's at. If it's full, I'm going to beat the club down. Say that again. I'm sorry. If it's full, I'm going to beat the club down. Say that again, I'm sorry. If it's full, I'm going to beat the club down. Bottom line. So you ain't vibing

if there's just three people in the room? No, if there's three people in the room, they're going to walk away and say I did my thing, but if it's a club

and it's packed, I don't care where it's at. It could be a hotel room. If it's packed, I'm going to murder that shit. Wow, wow. That's the real DJ shit.

That's real DJ shit. Pop, you got to relax. So now, that's my friend. He from Left Rack. He from Left Rack. I don't know if you know. That's Left Rack right there. That's Pop and Poppy.

I'm a little bit before his era, right? So my name is Poppy in Left Rack. So every time I come around, I make sure that he knows you're Lil' Poppy. You understand? He's my man, though. There's no disrespect but you know i come first you know you still my nigga i love you man yeah so listen tumor yo has an

artist ever came up there plays you some shit it was trash and you had to tell them this is not going to happen no no no it's all good music no it's not all good music but you can't disrespect yeah it's not it's not it's not about me it's about the audience let's say't disrespect. It's not about me. It's about the audience. It's not good, but how do you approach that? It's not good. It's basic. Like what mothers tell you, if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

God damn it. God damn it. God damn it. My mom. So, listen, buddy, buddy, come on, man. I'll you? My mom. My mom. So, yo, listen. Buddy, buddy, come on, man. I'll get you a bottle.

You were about to go somewhere else. Put that back. Put that back, TK. Come on. And look at Eddie the ass eater over there. That's Eddie the ass eater. That was an awkward time to bring him up. I'm going to be honest.

It was awkward. Come on, you guys. Who raised you? Who raised you? Who raised him? That was an awkward time to bring that up. But listen, Moni. Yeah see that you with a drink champ shirt. Okay.

She's always been repping. But you definitely critiqued us about Amber Rose. I did. You did. Because that was your first, right? The first female was Angela. No, no. Or it was tagged as the first.

People were saying that. People were saying that because she was the first by herself. Okay. No, no. Or it was tagged as the first. People were saying that. People were saying that because she was the first by herself. Okay. Right, right. And I was just like, really? Right, right, right. I think we had a conversation. No, no.

We wanted you on. Of course. I know, but I'm booed. MC Light. Lauren Hill. Lauren Hill. Wait. I need to allow everybody to understand this.

This is my family. I lived in Miami. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. And this is my family. Right before you guys kicked off the podcast, I moved.

Yeah. And I was so upset. So that's another reason why I rep you constantly. Her accent is still lit. And you're looking younger and younger. Yeah, tell that to my knees. Yeah, I ain't going to front.

Because it's crack city. You and Pharrell drink the same water for some reason. So now, Karen. Hi. Being a powerful woman in hip-hop, how does that feel? I mean, it's an incredible feeling. It's a lot of us now. It's not like it's like one or two.

It's so many to choose from sitting here with Angela, who I can call a great friend of mine. So it's a lot of us, toast to us. I don't even really drink like that, but I'm drinking here today, y'all. Karen felt comfortable. This drink champ, she understands the branding of drink champs means you got to have a drink. Okay. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, Have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was

convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what's your favorite? You've been being in hip-hop. I want to toss this question to both of y'all, right? Obviously, we're from different eras, all right? But what's your favorite era of hip-hop and why? You can pick whatever.

It doesn't matter. I'm going to say I liked Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. So that's the 90s, right? Early to mid-90s. Because I'm from Brooklyn, so I used to have a good time listening to all of that. Even Black Moon and everybody. That was a great era. That was a good era. That's one of my favorite eras.

And then why? That was a good era. Why for you? Why would you say that? For you? Why would you say that? For you, why would you say that? I think for me, when I was listening to Wu-Tang, it was so different from everything else that was out at the time. Because I went through the whole era like the,

I actually really enjoyed Monie Love when you guys were part of the whole. Right before. Yes, Native Time. Right before. Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, the whole Daisy Age. I enjoyed that a lot. It's hard to say because I think both those eras kind of like ran. Both those movements ran into each other.

You touched on something so key. So key. Honestly, despite the fact that my era was right before what you was just talking about, right? And it kind of overlaps because those are like, like Nori, that's like my little brother. Black Moon and them, they're like my little brother. Nas and them, it's like my little brother. We were before them, right? And despite the fact that that was my introduction

into the US of A and into the music business, my favorite era is actually what you're talking about. For the simple reason that like, I appreciate other artists that were saying things that i wasn't necessarily saying right you know what i'm saying lyrically you're talking about absolutely like you you put on mop you know i'm saying it was grimy it was like no i love and you put on wu-tang i love the music despite despite the fact that I'm Daisy Age and I'm native tongue. And I love that and I rep it. But I love to be able to go in a club and act like I'm getting ready to rob a liquor store.

God damn it, Moni Lo. And that's what that did to me. You know what I'm saying? You put on shook ones. I still black out. Don't put on shook ones right now. Don't do it. You know what I'm saying?

So I totally understand what you're talking about when you talk about that specific era. And we were dancing. But I did love that Buddy remix. Oh, yeah. That's a fave. I would definitely have to say for me it was like the late 90s, early 2000s because of what video music, like what the video music's meant to us. I'm sorry, you said early 2000s? Like early 2000s.

It's just like, just what music videos was. We had 106 and Park. We had TRL and the things like that. And it's just like, they had the big budgets. Now, no offense, it's like the videos don't really mean this. It don't really mean the same thing anymore. Half the time, I don't even know songs got videos. Before, it's just like, Norris spent a

million on a video, right? Yeah, yeah. Hype Williams. He got me. Hype Williams and everybody met. I just felt like hip-hop just felt like rock stars. It was just an incredible feeling. As far as... It was a lot of money

flying around. That was a big money time in hip hop. For sure. Definitely. Definitely the big money time. And the era you guys are talking about is the quote unquote golden era. Absolutely. That's right.

But some people would argue that the golden era could be whatever they thought was the best time. I agree. True. I agree. I could see that. No more champagne? I agree. I agree.

So now. But wait. Andre Harrell is here and he has something that he wants to say. He actually wants to come up right now and interject and get in on this conversation. On this conversation. On this conversation. Okay. Because let's not forget.

That's the big OG. Yeah. This is the OG right here. There's a lot of powerful people on this table right now. Andre Harrell is an artist too. In a lot of ways, if it wasn't for him, like single-handedly, none of us would be here right now in a certain way. Talk that talk, boy. I got to talk that talk?

Is my mic up? And I need a drink. I've been working hard today. Okay, now, I better say some rock. Is it shot time yet? I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.

Do you know I got shot glasses? What do y'all want to talk about? What's the best era in hip hop? According to you The best era is the 90s The best era is the 90s The best lyricists came from the 90s The most fun

When we say the 90s Are we saying early 90s? Or just the whole 90s? Early to mid 90s Late 90s You gotta go from Rakim to Tupac to Nas to Jay-Z to Eminem.

You had so many great... To Outkast. You had so many great artists. So many fun artists. Brand Nubian. You had artists who had De La Soul, Queen Latifah. You had Fox Boogie. You had so many different ways we were hitting from.

When you walked in the party, you didn't go to the booth in front and champagne up. You walked straight into the club, straight to the dance floor. Wow. That was the difference. Wow. And you motherfuckers partied. Do people dance in the club anymore? All night and got up to go to work on time.

I feel like people go to the club and stay at the table. No, not you. They do now. They sit on Snapchat. Yeah. They work on time. I feel like people go to the club and stay at the table. No, not you. I'm just saying a generation. They do now. They sit on Snapchat. They sit on Snapchat. People be on Snapchat. It's not the same. It's not the same.

We sounding mad old up here. I got a question. I got a question. Why don't we party like we used to party? Why doesn't this generation party like that? Because we don't want to be caught on social media looking crazy. Is that it? That might be.

I don't know. It's definitely not the same. I'm not sure why. Everybody thinks they're a star because on social media looking crazy. Is that it? That might be. I don't know. It's definitely not the same. I'm not sure why. Everybody thinks they're a star because of social media. No, it's the young boys. It's all heroin now. They're too good to party. No, it's just everybody's literally standing around.

They're too good to party now. Not really doing much. And bottle service changed things up too. Bottle service. You got to get some bottles. It can't even just be let me pay $10. It feels like there's no more fans. Everybody thinks they an artist themselves. Yes, that is true.

Everybody's a celebrity. What about the music? Is it the music that makes you not party like we used to party? I think the music's still incredible. There's still songs out there that are popping and people just aren't really moving because it's more artists and influencers than they are fans.

Because they sure as hell dancing on social media to this motherfucker, but they're not dancing in the club. That's a very good point. But why do you got to be a fan to dance to good music?

Can't you just appreciate the music? Well, you're a fan of it. Yeah, you're a fan. And you're a fan of the music. Music is like a soulful thing that you just appreciate past the ideology

of being a fan. It makes your space feel good. I get that, but that's deep. But I think that could be a fan to layman's like feel good. I get that, but that's deep. But I think that could be fan to laymen like us. Okay, I'm going to let that go. Do you think any of it has anything to do, I'm sorry, Angela, to interrupt you,

but I'm asking you ladies also, do you think any of it, the lack of partying, has anything to do with possibly the lack of venues to party? Because they've shut a lot of hip-hop venues down. Not to say that there doesn't exist any. Because there does. But...

It's more like lounges and not clubs. Yeah. Do you think that has to do with it, too? In L.A., there's definitely... You definitely have your options of clubs. But the problem is, no offense, is the DJs aren't the best with the blends. You'll go from a hot song, you feel in the moment. And then they'll just go to some techno song,

and you're like, what the, I can curse, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, what the fuck is this? You can do whatever the fuck you want on here. So it's like they're trying to cater to all the crowds as opposed to like, listen, I want to hear this three or four times

like a Funkmaster Flex or somebody will do. They don't do that. Maybe so I don't mess it up because anybody could DJ. Yeah, now everybody's a DJ. Everybody's a DJ because you just put some songs on your iTunes.

You know, you can, no offense to the models, just take a few pictures and it's like, I'm DJ whoever now. That's a whole nother show. Yeah. DJ FM, man.

DJ FM. I still got my records, God damn it. I ain't carrying them bitches no more. On Drink Champs, this is our first time having three females at the same time. Oh my God, God damn it. I ain't carrying them bitches no more. On Drink Champs, this is our first time having three females

at the same time. Oh my God, it's overloaded, but it's great. We always have guys on the show, right? So let me just ask y'all a question.

No, that females want to know can they smoke as well? Of course. Hell yeah, hell yeah. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know the past. That's what we're doing?

Thank God. As a man, sometimes we look at female MCs, and we're like, why they can't get along? Like, why is it more? Okay, go ahead. Do you want to start? Yeah. I don't necessarily.

Karen, where's your Nicki Minaj situation? Okay. So I don't necessarily think that's true, but the way we were raised and our mentality, go back to some of your favorite shows. When you think of girl clicks, there's always a smart one, there's a dumb one, and there's a follower.

We were taught to believe in the quote of quote. We were taught that there can only be one of a certain type and criteria. Now, you know, Nicki Reign for however long. Now we have options.

It's not a bad thing. Like, I'm a fan of Cardi B. I'm a fan of Cash Doll. I'm a fan of Nicki Minaj. There's nothing wrong. There's men out here. They can be 10, 12. Should be just as many women artists as men artists.

Yeah, it can be just as many. We don't have to pit each other against everyone. And it's like, to me, media and society are creating those issues with like the Nicki and Cardi. They ain't got no beef at all. It could be Instagram and social media creating those problems. Somebody say something, oh, that's a subliminal. Somebody, she just took a shot. But does somebody benefit from that?

Does the industry, like, does the label benefit from those beefs? To me, sometimes, yeah. Sometimes maybe like a network or something who'll get hype off of it. Say like now Nicki may not be winning awards. Oh, we got a new winner. They get hyped. You get to see this person. And they continue that stereotype, which isn't fair.

It should be more than one of us. Absolutely. In my opinion, I don't think that social media and stuff is totally creating issues between women. And I say this because I'm going to be 100% honest here. I don't think that social media and stuff is totally creating issues between women. And I say this because I'm going to be 100% honest here. We didn't all get along. Like, who created that myth? You're saying women don't get along.

No, I'm talking about people like to always pin these girls nowadays, these female emcees nowadays. They're all catty against each other and this and that, and that one don't like this one, and this one's beefing with that one, and that didn't used to happen back in the days. Well, let me be the first to tell you that yes, the fuck it is. Hey, Monila, Monila, who was beefing with you?

Okay, she got beef with somebody. She wanted to get up her chest. Listen, listen, man. Who was beefing, Monila? Beef between people in general is not made up. It's just, listen, listen, man. Who is beefing, Moni? Beef between people in general is not made up. It happens. It happens, yeah. Everyone doesn't have to like each other.

Exactly. But we don't have to pretend it can only be one popping female. Not at all. Because right now on my iTunes, it's plenty of women out there who's killing it. And it's great that we have options. Absolutely. It's kind of because it's a smaller pool of women than men.

So it really stands out when the women, we want to see that unity. And we want to see them doing songs together. Just like the guys do songs together. We just have a smaller pool. I'm just saying, I'm saying, because I can't let the cat out the back. There are a lot of women who are getting ready to come out. They got collabs together. They're going to shut all that

nonsense and total down. So you think there's more women now than ever in the industry um i can't really like we had ladies night that record was right that was a moment i don't know if we'll ever get something like that again i never want to take away okay but it's never enough right can we can we agree to admit that right now today as far as being on the exact same plateau and level of stardom with each other it's not happening at the exact same rate as it happened when I was

putting records out. I would wind up on the same bill with Latifah. I would wind up on the same bill with a Rage and a Yo-Yo and a Light. We're not getting that now. We're not getting that. Yeah, we're not getting that.

Oaktown 357. We would all end up a lot of times on the same bills with each other. And I'm not seeing that happen as much. But it goes back to the catty bullshit where it's like, I don't want to open for this person. Who's going to close for this? I don't want to be on the same bill. We don't want to do this together. It's a lot of that inner turmoil. Back then, we just all wanted to get paid and be on the same bill. We don't want to do this together. It's a lot of that inner turmoil.

Back then, we just all wanted to get paid and be on the show. So we wasn't fighting about that. We was like, we could have been like, against each other. And to be quite honest, Angela, I'm going to admit it, right? As far as on the East Coast and me being prodigal daughter of the East Coast by way of England, considered New York, you know, we thought we was way better as far as lyric. The only West Coast chick that could fuck with us was Yo-Yo.

We was looking at the rest of them girls like, all y'all do is wear motherfucking spandex. That's okay. Get it, Moni. All y'all do is wear spandex. I mean, I'm just being honest. That's where we were. Where we're at now with each other, Karen,

is I have personally walked up to Sweet LD from O-Town 357 and personally apologized for being a bitch back in the day because I was like, man, I spit lyrical fucking heat.

You wear spandex. You can't fuck with me. We had that. That wear spandex. That's dope to hear that from you. You know what I mean? We had that. That right there is growth. We're not going to get that, unfortunately, from a lot of women because it's like,

I had that hairstyle first. I wore those jeans first. I wore the color green first. Everybody's like, I did it first, first, first. And now everybody can see it and I do think that's a social media thing. I got one more question.

I got one more question. Yes. For the more question. Yes. For the whole panel. Yes. Us as hip-hop, we getting along. We love, everybody's getting, almost getting back to being happy, right? Because everybody, what do we need to do to squash Nicki Minaj and Remy Mars beef? Females.

Andre Everett. What do we need? Oh, it's never happened. females. Andre Everett. What do we need? Oh, it's never happened. You know, I think that sometimes we have to realize there's bigger issues and tragedies in this world, and it's so much more important for us to at least attempt to be united. I think sometimes people have to have a conversation

one-on-one without other people in the middle of it. Right, that's a good idea. At some point, somebody has to be the bigger person and reach out, and the other person has to be the bigger person and reach out and the other person has to accept that. But I think it's hard when there's people like mediating and in the middle of it. Third parties, egos and everything.

But at the end of the day, they both get money. Right. They both get money. What happened? He said something sexual. He just took it there. Come on, guys. We got a little Harvey Weinstein in the audience. Get the fuck out of here. He said something sexual. He just took it there. What did I say? Come on, guys. No. All right, we got a little Harvey Weinstein in the audience.

Get the fuck out of here. Come on, son. Come on, son. Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Who raised you, honey? Who raised you? Who raised you? But Nori, I wanted to ask you.

Nori, you witness a lot of beef between women who are rap artists. Yes. So tell us some stories about that because I know. i have no stories yes you do who you have beef with who did you have beef with how did you fix it let me tell you something about about um like when it comes to females it's always been a touchy situation. Why? I'm just saying, like, you know, when, like, I learned my lesson when I did a record called Bang Bang. Okay. Right? And on the record, Bang Bang.

I remember. Who did I have on the record? I had Foxy Brown on the record. Okay. Right? And Foxy came, and look, she was ready. Like, I'm talking about about she had Seven raps Just like how about this one

And we were all like no But none of us said don't do it And she got on the record And she dissed Lil Kim And it was just Although I had nothing to do with it But you knew what it was though It was your record though so technically

But that was my lesson I learned Now I know that Even though somebody can get on your record and they can diss somebody else... They feel like you're co-signing it. It's almost like it's your beef, too. Yeah, right. Okay, so in hindsight, if you had that moment again, that same studio session, okay,

and you hear she goes in the booth and she spits a 16 and within the 16 she's dissing Kim. You going back there, what would you do? And make it a bigger song. If I was that age that same age, I would let her go. But the

person now would be like, let's do another record. But can I say this? Aren't you now messing with the artist's integrity? Like this is how she spit her rhyme. That's like you going, nah, I don't want that. Spit something better. Oh, but if a dude

spat something whack, he would say so. It was a hard verse. So it's like, it's not whack. So how do I explain, yo, I don't want to be in the middle of your beef?

Yeah. X, Y, Z. To me, it's nothing you really can, you can't do. It is. But the problem is, if you put somebody on a record

and they diss that person, or any person, you become a part of it. You become a part of it because you knew it. You mixed the record. You knew. And especially,

so I was doing, I was doing, I said this story before. I was doing the correcting. So I actually, because she diss did Puff on the record too. So I actually called Puff. And I was like, I was like, yo Puff. He said,

so you don't want me to put the record out? And he goes, nah, still get money, nigga. This nigga, it was raining. This is hard. Drake Champ's never been rained out. This is hard. Give it up for the rain. Make some noise for the rain.

Make some noise for the fucking rain. I don't think the camera guys are going to say that. Yo, listen. I want y'all to know we don't do things like this. We can find audience and we go crazy. This is an audience we don't know. We respect y'all. Thank y'all for coming out.

Love y'all. Love y'all out there. I feel like we got to wrap it up. No? I got more time? I'm just saying, the rain. What's going on? It's raining. No more time?

It's raining. Yo, I want to thank everybody for coming. And we're going to all do this again. But we want all y'all individually by yourself, Paul. That ain't sound right. Who raised you? That ain't sound right. No, I'm going to come back.

That sounds wrong. Yeah, that doesn't sound right. This was on my bucket list. You know what I mean. This was on my bucket list. So I'm happy to be here. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, that does sound right. This was on my bucket list. You know what I mean. This was on my bucket list, so I'm happy to be here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we got mutual peoples that we got love for.
