we just really was able to implement his teachings. And I think it really has given birth to another level of entrepreneurialism, you know what I'm saying? How we can go directly to our community and I would have to say he's the founder father of that.

Steve Rifkin. Yeah! That boy's street team was very aggressive in that era though. Yeah, no question. So how was that actually inventing the street team? How did you think of that?

Is that what I believe? I think that's what what I was trying to say. It's not really how I thought about it. So what happened was I got kicked out of school. And my family

was in the record business. You know, my dad discovered James Brown, put out the first rap record. And my grandfather dropped the mic. You know, my dad discovered James Brown, put out the first rap record. And my grandfather... Hold on, hold on. Yeah, you got a light stunt?

Yeah, that was a light stunt. That was crazy. That was full of shit. You know what I mean, like the way he delivered it. He delivered it was light. I wanted to say, but he said, my dad. What did you say, produced for James Brown? Discovered.

Discovered. I was doing something presently at the moment. What did you say, produce for James? No, discover. Discover? I'm doing something presently at the moment. Okay. And I need to break out. Okay. And I don't want to be rude, you know. No, you're not rude. I just want to stop by and give love. Yeah.

Yo being back From Drink Champs It's so appropriate We have Steve Rifkin standing with us Of course We have Fabulous And we have Jadakiss,

but you know, I just want to give all you guys your thoughts on Prodigy. Obviously, I'm going to start with you, Steve Rifkin, because you're the guy who actually signed him and brought him to stardom. So, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on Prodigy. I mean, when I got the call, it was, I was in Miami.

Wow. And my daughter was taking a road test. A road test? To get a license? To get a license. Still don't got my license. Let's make some noise for that. Yeah.

Still looking for the hook up. Go ahead. So, my old partner kept on calling two or three times, and I see, you know. You say your old partner, you talking about Richie? Rich Isaacson. Rich Isaacson. Right, so he keeps on calling, I'm like, so when he calls more than twice,

I just know something's not right. And so, but Rich is also my childhood best friend. We've been best friends since we were eight years old. So I just think maybe his mother, you know, just, we're at that age. And so I pick up the phone, and my daughter's walking in from the test, so I don't know if she passed,

you know, so I'm focusing on her, and he said, P. died. And I just, I almost passed out. You know, I almost passed out. You know, I had open heart surgery four months ago. So I was just getting my strength back at the time. So when he told me, I hung up the phone, she gave me a thumbs up, and I called Ray. Ray Kwan?

Yeah. Okay. Because they just did a show together in Vegas. And it was, it killed me. I mean, you know, his birthday and my brother had the same birthday. God bless. So, you know, it was always, you know, I always knew when it was his birthday, you know, and we spoke three, four times a year

after I left lab. And that was really, you know, it took me for a... Super spent. Yeah. I slide off on the show thing, because I had... Because you had just performed,

you had did the Hip hop honors, right? Yeah. And you honored Pete. This is why, this is the question, yeah. I was definitely a fan of Mobb Deep. Grew up listening to Mobb Deep, going to school every day, listening to Mobb Deep and your Walkman, that kind of vibe. I had went to a Raekwon and Ghost show in New York.

And when I went to the show, it just took me back to growing up, listening to all of these albums. And I had made it from that point. I said, yo, I'm going to go to all of the acts that I grew up listening to, going to school, listening to. I wanted to go to their show and see them in their habitat and with their fans and they, you know what I mean? I wanted to do that, like I had never done that. I had never been to a Ray and Ghost show.

I had never been to, you know, different artists, Black Moon, different guys that I grew up listening to. Just go to their show and see them in that vibe. I'm sorry, fam, for cutting you off. You see how respectful that shit is? What he's saying, like trying to learn the art. So, I said, from Ray and Ghost, I said, yo, I'm going to all of the, what's his name,

so one of them I wanted to see was Mobb Deep. You know, I had seen them in bits and pieces. They even came out on one of my sets before at Summer Jam, all kinds of stuff. But I wanted to go in their world and see their mob deep fans. You know what I mean? So that same tour, that Vegas one,

I looked up the thing. I seen it was coming to Newark, to New Jersey. I said, I'm going to go see. And that show had actually had a few... You talking about the Art of Rap tour? That's what it was? They just did New York a few weeks ago, didn't they? I was actually at that.

The Vegas show? That thing. I seen... With the Vegas show, if you're talking about the Art of Rap when Prodigy died... Yeah, that's the tour that they were on. But it was a couple of them. It was Rayquan and Ghostface, I think. I think it was Mobb Deep and I think it was a couple other acts.

But I was looking up the Mobb Deep show when I could go to the next mob deep show the next show on that tour That I could go to was Newark, New Jersey. So I'm like, I'm gonna go to that tour and we passed I was like Like, you know me and it kind of emphasized more why I want to Catch these shows and catch you know I'm saying like it was like, it was crazy that he passed right before that the show coming back to Jersey. So what was that feeling like when VH1 reached out to you? Was it VH1? Oh, yeah, VH1

and, you know, and Hav, Hav was a part of it too, and he was, you know, he knew how much love I have for Marv, and, you know, you know, he like,v. He was one of the people that I could really see doing this. You know what I'm saying? There's not too many people that you even want to call on.

You don't want to put the wrong piece in the wrong place. Let's keep it real, right? With no disrespect. But the year before that, Rich Homie Kwan came out there and fucked Biggie lyrics up. I fuck with Rich Homie Kwan, but let's just throw it out there. He fucked it up. He fucked it up because one thing people had to know, he's not from his generation. He's not from that generation.

He was mad, too. They wasn't supposed to choose him. They didn't do that. The Young Brooklyn dudes. You think they would have called? I think they just needed somebody that worked. I think they just took anybody. Nah, I need that.

He just didn't know enough about that song. He didn't fit the criteria. Because he didn't grow up off this. He didn't grow up off that. You know what I mean? What's crazy is me and Fendi are cool with Rich Homie. And Fendi was with him and FaceTimed me. Wait, Fendi was with him at that time?

Yeah, Fendi was in the, I guess he was in the, where they was shooting it at. The bus. Hold on. Fendi was with him. Fendi was with him? Where's Fendi at again? Where is he?

Yeah. Fendi FaceTimed me. So I got on with Rich Homie. I'm like, yo. Wait, after it happened? No, before it happened. And you coached him? I said, yo, you got it?

You got that Biggie? He's like, I got it, big bro. So it's fab four. You coached him? No. I don't know. I'm just trying to make sure that this is a moment for him. Like, and it's Biggie and it's Brooklyn.

It takes this seriously in the hip-hop world. You got to go back. He never got to go back there. So, not even that. Just making sure that I wanted him to be successful the same way. That's all I got. I fuck with Rich on me. And I'm like, I want you to do it right, too.

So, he was like, no, I got it. But I just think he, you know, he got in a moment. He lost track. You know, it's not his. He didn't grow up. I can say that verse with my eyes closed. But he's not from that. Trying to be politically correct.

No, I'm speaking for my guy. Okay, so now what happened, you saw him actually Right now he can come back. Fuck it up. I saw him fuck it up. When you saw him fuck it, were you in the crowd? Nah, I was somewhere else. I was on the bill.

You was on the, you gotta stop being on the bill. He was on the bill with his hip hop arms. Okay, so, all right. I'm coming back to you. So you, where were you at in life when you seen Tim? You called him.

You FaceTimed him. No, Fendi FaceTimed me. And he was with Rich Homie. He threw you under the bus, Fendi. Don't look like that. He was with him. And so that's when I got to speak to rich homie. He like, yo, we about to do it.

He like, yo, I'm about to go do this big homie. I'm like, you got it. Like, you got it? For real, you got it? He like, nah, I got it. I got it. So I was like, all right, cool. You know what I mean?

It just went on. I was kind of just trying to make sure he was good and he was straight. Like, you know what I mean? At the same time, I was kind of just trying to make sure he was good and he was straight. Like, you know what I mean? At the same time, like, don't go out there and think this is light. This is something that means something to a lot of people. You know what I mean? And he was like, no, I got it. But in the moment, he just must have lost it.

It's anywhere in the world. Now, you see him fuck up big lyrics. Yeah. This is your man, you and Fendi, FaceTime. Just recently. How did you feel at that moment? I was like, damn. He said he had it.

Did you answer his text? Because I'm not going to lie. I still answered his text. You did? I dodged your niggas every now and then. I did. You answered his text? Yeah, yeah.

What was that text feeling like? Truthfully, I never even spoke to him about that. I more speak to him about his, him. You know what I mean? Fab, I feel like you're a petty nigga and you're just holding back. Nah. Fab, listen. I am petty president. Yeah.

I'm a real nigga first and then a petty nigga second. So I'm going to do the real stuff. So you put real nigga in front of petty. I've never done that. You know what I mean? I've got to figure out how I do that. Please. Can you teach me? I can teach you the way please don't tell me how does work so real nigga I checked in with him, you know, even after that because I think truthfully, I think it it

Fucks with people like, you know me cuz he started getting a lot of backlash Internet savvy, so you saw they were frying the money. That's what I mean. They were fucking with him, and he was, he was, you know what I mean? I wanted him to make, I don't want to define him, because it really, he got put in a position that wasn't

even his, really, his position. Like, you know what I mean? He didn't grow up listening to Biggie. So for him, it was it was actually like reciting something that he don't know. For us, we could recite it with our eyes closed. You want to sit more, a little more slow? That's like them calling Uncle Birdie to do an outcast song.

Right. He wouldn't have been able to join us. He wouldn't have been able to, they wouldn't have called them for one. Yeah, but at some point you got to say, I don't know that. If you take the task, I'm not even mad that Rich Homie Quan ain't no bigot. Somebody else fucked some lyrics up before.

Lupe fucked up somebody's lyrics. No, we said it on Dream Champs, and Lupe been trying to get it right. On Dream Champs. We don't want it. We blew it up. On the shows, though? Yeah. On the hip hop islands. Exactly.

Yo, on hip, no, Fab won't point. This is what I want to bring out from Fab. Fab is hip hop. Niggas think Fab just rhyme on girl records, and that's it. Nah, Fab is super, this is why I'm glad you just did that. Cause see, I didn't even bring that up. 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.

The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,

the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.

And this is a drink temps topic because lupe actually got on after that and said he wasn't a tribe called quest like super fan and that's my guy he's but come on brother like actually in your style i can can see Tribe called Quest. Right? And this is no disrespect to him at all.

But you just shouldn't rehearse. And does that go back to the spectrum of back then, these guys? We would study a Rakim. We would study a Nas. We would study a Nas. We would study a Jay-Z. We would study a Wu-Tang. And then now these people just, does it go back to that? I don't know because I might have not known a tribe called Quest's first word for word either.

I might have would have took it on. Would you have known a trap called Quest's first word for word either. I might have would've took it off. Would you have known a boot camp clip? I would've, because that was the type of hip hop I was. Why you would've? Because that's what I was listening to. Okay, so let's make some noise for that guy. Would you would've known a Big Daddy King verse? I would, Big Daddy King was my first favorite rapper.

Okay, let's make some noise for that. You continue to make my point. Would you renew a Jay-Z verse? I would. Okay, so let's make some noise for that. What do you say? Hello. He just came down on a flying plane.

Dad, you got to know the tree you come from. Meaning, meaning. Okay, Lupe from Queens. No, no, no, no, no. Let me just correct you on this. Rich homie. He from B.I. No, I'm talking about Lupe.'t from Queens no no no no no let me just reach homie no no no I know y'all went to Lupe but Rich homie ain't from B.I. so he get the pass Lupe's supposed to know all hip hop on the last subject y'all no listen Lupe is one of them Lupe's a backpack nigga That could really rhyme

He just wins And he's dope I respect him I love him So he's supposed to know all of that He don't get to pass that Exactly That was my point

It was Lupe Because You could actually hear Tribe Called Question Lupe Even if he doesn't hear He's like a baby tribe Tribe Called Question Lupe Yeah he's baby tribe

He comes from that He comes from that He's never was supposed to Mess up a tribe first It's just like hearing you say, hearing Fab say, like Fab being from Brooklyn, and hearing Fab say, well, Jay wasn't really my inspiration. You would sound crazy. You know why you would sound crazy? Because you're from Brooklyn. You're from the same call.

No matter where it is, if Jay is on this side and you're on this side, you're still related. Biggie don't got a relation to Mitch Homie, though. I got one about if they asked him to do a top lip coalition. Who? If I could do a coalition. Man, you bugging me. Nah, I ain't bugging you from Brooklyn. Okay, all right, all right.

Let me put this together. You're right. You're right, all right. I'm trying to figure out where you're going with it. Okay, so you're saying... No, you're saying just because he's from the... You're saying because he's from Brooklyn. So now, it's Tyler, Kweli, and Mos Def, right?

20, they lyrical monster... Anniversary, anniversary, and and Mos Def, right? 20. They lyrical monsters. Anniversary. Anniversary. And they call Phat, right? He's going to have to do some studying, y'all. He's going to have to do some playing over some rock. I think Phat would. I think his studying is going to be less.

It ain't going to be one of those shits he know off rip. He's going to have to listen to it. Because Phat is confused right now. No, that's true. No. shit he know off rip he go ahead and listen to it in this family right now that's true that's a great honor so somebody that's gonna put in the work with it yeah and my problem with today nobody wants to put in the work max is microwave I can wear are we gonna see Steve Griffin smoke it I can't smoke I'd open on surgery okay This is not funny if I keep saying keep going. I'm so sorry.

Fab, what do we think? What do we think? I'm just trying to make sure. I'm just trying to stay out of Stuck Norris mode. You know what I mean? Stuck Norris. I like that guy. That's hard. That is hard. Now Fab,

do you know on the low, do you like the fashion police? Me? Like, whatever you, like, you're like in the most respectful way ever. Yeah. Niggas say that,

ain't going to say something disrespectful. You're in the most respectful way ever. No disrespect, but I have no respect. You know what I mean, but you might not know what I mean. But you remember Joan Rivers?

She was on, listen. Nigga just said I was Joan Rivers? Okay, okay, where is this going? I did not speak to Joan Rivers. I did her show before. Make some noise for that. Let's make some noise. I definitely know Joan Rivers.

I don't know who I am. But listen, at one point, niggas will post a picture. This is how I'm looking on Instagram. And niggas will be like, they'll try to plug, like, Elise's or some shit like that. And niggas say, it ain't hot. I saw it with my own eyes. And that's fab weird. That shit fucked me up.

Do you... Yo, you like the... Listen. That's crazy. I'm giving you... This is our reality show. We gonna produce it. Mm-hmm.

All right? Me and you, Steve Rip... We got the brand right here. I definitely want to be on the hip-hop fashion police. Huh? I definitely want to be on the hip-hop fashion police. No, not like that. You don't got to realize.

See, what you got to do is, like everybody want to battle for record deals. Everybody want to battle for, and now it's Phab sitting there going, yo, y'all, that ain't it. Just like that? You like, that ain't it. And you like, that ain't it.

Laugh. Listen, dig it out, dig it out. Dig it out, fam, dig it out, fam. Because, niggas say, let me tell you, I'm in the hood. I go with a haircut somewhere, I like to sneak in. Like, I like to sneak in where a nigga don't know how, man. Niggas say, they said, your North Face is back hot. This is word of the town.

Somebody walked by and said, Fab ain't... They said if Fab ain't wearing it, it ain't back home. I heard that as a normal individual. You gotta be, not Joan, I'm sorry. I said it's Joan Rivers. This is very not the way I mean it. But it fast going in, see your ocean line, your outfit is not it.

You gotta relax. You gotta relax. You gotta relax. You gotta relax. And then you show a nigga how to put his shit together. You don't think that's something? That sounds like something to me. Of course, listen, let me tell you something.

It's the new wave for us. Mm. Listen, I'm going too far? Nah. It's the new wave for us. There's people who came and took hip-hop, right, and they made, like, these-hop right and they made like these reality shows and they made it That's not where hip-hop is

Hip-hop should be congratulated and celebrated We should sit back and say do you got these public school bottles? Steve you can't come on here. You can't drink, because you had the Omaha drink? No, I can't. Okay, all right. You get the pass. You're the only one. But everybody else, we got to sit here and drink

and have fun. And that's what hip hop is. The minute we start thinking about points and publishing. We have to have people in certain positions who can come and take that and say, yo, look, this is what you're supposed to have

and you're going to get that. Correct? Because when an artist starts thinking about things like that, you think it takes away from the artistry? 100%. 100%. 100%.

How about you, Fab? You have to be aware about it. Yeah. I mean. I think over time you learn it. I mean, when you first coming in, you don't even know, you don't know what you're supposed to get. You supposed to get what they tell you you supposed to get.

You know, even as a record company owner, and having, you know, JVs, I still don't know what I'm supposed to get on certain things. I mean, but the crazy thing is, you know, I was talking about my dad earlier. He passed a few years ago. God bless him. And I went to clean out his, you know, his belongings,

and I ran, you know, and I saw a James Brown contract. So, James Brown's contract and Akon's contract are pretty much the same contract. Take out a few words. That was hard. So, you're talking about late 60s, early 70s, and Akon's last contract with me was 2006. So, you know, it was an 8-track, you know,

and there was vinyl, and there was a 45. And the other thing... Levels. Levels. It was all 8-track, vinyl, 45. CDs, flash drives. Streaming. That's now. 45, CDs, flash drives, streaming. That's now. That's now.

Now, streaming is helping or hurting the game? You know, I think it's helping. You know, nobody knows that Spotify's giving Universal 500 million dollars a year. But they're giving the artists. Universal doesn't know what the fuck to do with it. So the. But they're giving the artists. Universal doesn't know what to fucking do with it. So the executive, they're making their money. You're giving Universal how much again?

I'm sorry. $500 million a year. I just want to say that one more time. Say it, bud. $500 million a year. That's a stupid note. Do we know that? I didn't know that.

I didn't know that. You didn't know? The kids, I know kids know that. You're supposed to know that kind of shit. Nah that I didn't know that you didn't know The kids I know kids know that kind of shit. I know I'm I'm finding out that's why I'm knowing it right in front of y'all Oh, now, you know, you know, you know, you know, I'm like special. That's what I say I'm that's why now I'm known in that right in front of y'all. Yeah, that's terrible Take a little poem to it. Yeah, come on, man. So they make, so Universal, the actual Universal, when you say Universal, we're talking. Interscope, Def Jam. Interscope.

Republic. Capital. They're paying Spotify five. No, Spotify's paying them. All right. That's under the table. Underhanded shit, because they ain't give us a nickel. How about that? Actually, all right. That's under the table. Underhanded shit, because they ain't give us a nickel. How about that action on that? Nick Cal.

It's like sport. It's like high school. I mean, it's like NCAA. Yeah. It's like NCAA. You said it. Same shit going on, but worse. At least they didn't get a turkey sandwich.

I'm stopping to say it like that. Y'all niggas knew a little bit of that. I didn't know none of that. I didn't know they gave 500 innings. And who gave 500? Who? Spotify. Gives it to the... To the parent label, yeah.

To the Universal. And the Universal, that's Interscope, Def Jam, Rockin' for the Rough Riders, I mean, in my day. Yeah. Universal, Republic, Motown. Island. Island.

That's crazy. Did we think that a game would be like this? Like, even remotely, like a little bit. I didn't know, I didn't, because I never got into music for the game. I was purely on the love of hip hop, so. The game I learned after, you know what I mean? I'm already on cloud nine.

And now that you say love of hip-hop, you've never been on love of hip-hop. No. You popped up before. No, I never did. Yeah. No. I've never been on it.

No, no. Dirty, nigga. They was always waiting for me, left me for dead on that joint. I couldn't. That wasn't my thing. Lord, I saved a lot of merit not showing up on there. You're dead on that joint. I couldn't, that wasn't my thing. Lord, I saved a lot of merit not showing up on there.

You earned stripes, nah, for real. I seen them episodes, I used to watch it back then. Those episodes was to try to set me up to go on there, but that was never my... But how did you know they were touching you? Because even in that episode, they tried to make you look bad, so maybe you would try to go repair your name, be on it to repair your name. Go on there to try to fix it.

That don't work any. So what you mean, they showing you a script or no? No, I never had any dealings with them. It was through my lady, Emily, who they was trying to reach out and get me to be on the show, but through her, even when she decided to do it, I was like, I don't think you should do it, but if you want to do it, it's your, you know what I mean? Maybe you could stretch the platform

into something else for you. You know, hustle it, whatever. Real man shit. Let's make some noise for that. That's real man shit. Let's make some noise for that. That's real man shit. So she went and did it, but they used to try to flow through her, like, yo, get him to come on there, and it just wasn't my thing.

That's not what I was trying to do. And it's a platform, it's still running today, and people are eating from it, but it just wasn't my thing, you know what I'm saying? So I never was with it. That's why I said some episodes, they would try to even get her to go along with it, making scenarios that pulled me in,

but I just wasn't pulling into it. You know what I mean? I didn't like it business-wise, and I didn't like what it portrayed, so I was just, you know, that wasn't it. How did you have the foresight to know what it portrayed? Because pretty much, that was early on. Yeah, it wasn't even as bad as it is today.

It was a different style, it was cleaner, it wasn't everybody throwing drinks in everybody's face, and you know, it was cleaner, you know what I't everybody throwing drinks in everybody's face and you know the whole it was cleaner you know what I mean overall but it still was in a situation

where I was like putting my life in a soap opera or something I just wasn't with it and business wise if I ain't

have a very smart EP or something like when I get some ownership like I can't as them actors they like actors

they can't even tell what, say what they don't want on there or not. The show owns it, you like hire work and they put what they want out there. If you look crazy, if you, somebody get the best of you, whatever, there's nothing you can do about it. And they edit it to wherever they want. So even if something was more, you know,

I heard people always say, oh, it was more, they ain't see all of that. Yeah, that's because they edited. You ain't got no say in that, so I can't be a part of something that's like that. Especially for my brand and who I am, like it just don't work for me. Now early on, you got a Sean T on your record.

Mm-hmm. We had Irving Gardner on recently. Mm-hmm. He said he was on Ecstasy. Back then? He definitely... Murder Inc. days back then? It was a vibe back then. I forget why he said...

Him and Ja was a vibe back then. It was a vibe. I forget why he says he doesn't clear it. He cleared it. She was on... He didn't have... They didn't do the video. Really? He cleared it for the song. They wasn't doing that. She was on... He didn't have... They didn't do the video. He cleared it for the song.

They wasn't doing that. Why would you... Why does that happen in the music area? Talk about this. Why do people do a song with somebody but then don't want to do the video? I never asked her over that to this day. I'm asking you it to this day.

I don't know why they didn't do it. I'm going to ask Ashanti, too. I'm going to text her. Cam McNeese had that from Horse and Carriage. LL and AP. These people, they ain't no way in your way or your man supposed to tell you he not doing your video. No, but I'm asking your frame of mind, right?

You coming up, damn man, you... Because they just was in their mode. They was in their bag, I guess. Maybe, I don't know. You got to ask Irv that question. Irv and Ashanti. No, we asked Irv because this is why we're coming to you. I don't know why they didn't do it.

I know we went to, the song came from Tamir. We used Ashanti. Ashanti didn't do the video. Tamir, who at the time, her throat was messed up. So we had to get Ashanti too. We wanted messed up, so we had to get Ashanti too. We wanted Ashanti, but we had to get Ashanti. So then, I don't understand.

Cause it was Tamiya's song at first, so we wanted Tamiya to do the rap version, but Tamiya couldn't do it because she had surgery on her throat or what, or her throat was messed up or something. So we got Ashanti. When it was time to do the video, Ashanti was not listening, so we went back to Tamiya. Tamiya did the video. You know what I'm saying, because Ashanti, when it was time to do the video, Ashanti was not, what's her name, so we went back to Tamia, Tamia did the video.

You know what I'm saying, because Ashanti. I never asked them to this day why they didn't do the, I don't know what it was, I felt like they was just in their murder ink bag. My real feelings is that they just was in their bag and they just wasn't feeling like, we ain't got to do no videos for nobody else. I don't know.

We got to ask them, though. I'm going to ask them personally, though. We can ask them right now. I speak to Irv and Ashanti periodically, so I'm going to ask them. I'm going to call Irv, but Irv ain't picking up my calls. Is there any questions that you want to ask somebody? This is everybody at this table got to answer this now. The question is that something happened and you never asked the question why or what happened

within the music industry that you would want to ask somebody or that you could ask them now. Because it's over. So, you know, it's water under the bridge now. You could ask it just to know what the answer was. Yeah, no, why don't you? Why don't you start with Steve? And then I'll... Steve, no, why don't you, why don't you, why don't you start with Steve, and then I'll...

Steve, is there any question that you would've asked somebody of something that... Yeah, I mean, I would've asked the chairman of BMG why they wouldn't let me sign Jay-Z. Mmm. That's a good one. Hold on, hold on. You stopped the block.

Okay, okay, okay. You gotta describe this move. So they never gave you the answer for it, they, okay. You got to describe this move. So they never gave you the answer for it. They just told you you couldn't. I mean, I figured out what the answer was. When you say BMG, this is under loud. Yeah, this is loud. It's under loud.

Yeah. So Dame and Jay were in the office, and this was early loud. Early loud. This is pre-Wu-Tang? It's after Wu-Tang, but it's before Mob-D. Okay, after Wu- but it's before Mobb D okay after Wu Tang before Mobb D I'm thinking this is like a beat nuts era like beat nuts is in between on another beat nuts let me relax I gotta relax okay get describing this era let me be quiet it has to be 94, yeah I'm in jail, that's the reason why.

Yeah, I'm in jail, yeah. I guess you go. You know, I go back with Dames since he's 15 years old. You go back with Dames? Since he's 15 years old. Continue. So, yes. This is all, we all learned history on Dream Channel.

Matty C and Scott Free. Who, Maddie C. and Scott Free. Maddie C. and Scott Free is also who brought you Bobb D. Yeah. Is that also the people who discovered Biggie? Maddie's the one who discovered Biggie. Maddie's discovered Biggie. Okay, I'm on point. Look at my hip-hop history.

I just want to throw that out there just in case. They said, Dane wants to take a meeting with you. And I also had Stretch Armstrong, who was working for us. When they say Dame want to take a meeting, you don't know who Dame is. No, I know, yeah, Dame's like, yeah, he's in his early 20s now. So, don't forget, Dame was managing Original Flavor.

Okay, I forgot about that, continue. So, they come up to the office, and it's the only time in my life where I shook Dame's hand and said, we got a deal. I called Strauss Del Nacus, the chairman of BMG, and I said, I want to sign this artist, and we were in negotiations for a full JV. I wasn't a full JV yet at BMG.

And JV took him off. Joint venture. Good, good, good. He goes, all right, you know, we just hired a president for RCA and I was pissed about that

that they didn't put me in the process. Not that I wanted to be president of RCA, just whoever. So we were fighting and we were also negotiating Wu Tang's

second out. So the deal got stuck on $20,000. Wu Tang? On the second, it's a renegotiation. So I'm supposed to be negotiating against Wu Tang, but I'm actually on their side, and the head of business affairs says, I'm not going any further. And I head of business affairs says, I'm not going any further.

And I said, you're out of your fucking mind. And it was a woman. And she says, you know, Steven Rifkin, I'm tired of your shit. Get the fuck out of this building. And I take a chair, we're in the 36th floor conference room. So the windows are over there. Broadway, we're facing Broadway.

It was, BMD at the time was at 45th and Broadway. I'm ready to throw the chair through the window. Right, but I grabbed the chair and I turned around and I threw it through the door. So, make a long story short, they got me arrested. You don't remember if Steve Ripken got arrested? I don't remember Steve Ripken getting arrested.

I'm going to throw that out there, Steve. You got to leave. Speak to Rizzo. You remember that? I know that. Speak to Rizzo. He was like, what the fuck? Rizzo was there? Oh, God.

So they wouldn't let me. He goes, you have too much power, and you're abusing our staff. There's no way in the world we're letting you sign anything else. Y'all remember when Lou said that? So you say you knew the answer to it. So that was the answer after the fact. Oh. Now it's your turn, and then kiss.

What was I talking about? You was talking about a question you wanted to ask somebody or something that you would... Hold on, let me see. It's definitely my show, Fab. I respect the shit out of you, you mother nigger. From the beginning, I haven't met you. But it's actually good, it's your turn, sir.

Go ahead. Oh, he did it. This nigga's so gone that he's like... You gotta do it again, it's my show, come on. I told you it was asking Irv and Ashanti why they didn't clear. No, I told you that. I brung that up.

This nigga's gone. No, didn't I bring that up? Didn't I bring that up? Am I bugging? I brung that up like a motherfucker because we just had Irv on here

and we asked him one of the things he regretted and he said that. That's the reason why I br brought that up. Yeah, but that still wasn't why they didn't do it. I wanted to ask the question to them,

like, why didn't y'all do it? It was a big song. It was, you know, two artists that were big in 2002, 2003. 2003. Sylvia must have pissed them off. Maybe. Could have been. I think Earl was in this film now.

Now, what's the question again? Kiss the tip. Any question that you wanted to ask somebody throughout the career that you never asked. That's all. Fathoms. It'll go over our shit. I mean, weird.

I want yours too. What happened with Nas and Big, man? They were supposed to do something. They were supposed to do something that never panned out or something never happened. He recently said something about that. He answered that from that time. You said you had that. Because I wanted to know that too. There's a picture of Oz and Big in the studio.

They told me it was One More Chance remix. But he got too high. Yeah, that's what they told me too. Yo, we got Yo, you won't be looking at your fucking comments. Them niggas fried us for that. What was it?

It was not one more chance, weenies. It was, damn, man, I'm so scared. It was give me the loot. It was give me the loot. Look at Fab being a hip-hop nigga. Give me the loot. Yo, listen to me. When you sat there, and I'm sitting there,

because I'm just so excited. This is UNC. I ain't mistaken, though. They went total. UNC shouted at each other at one point. So we sitting there together, and I just like, whee! Yo, them niggas fried me. Them niggas out.

Who's giving me the loop? Them niggas. Who's giving me the loop? Who's giving me the loot? Them niggas, the fans, that's one thing. One thing, this is the thing. Yeah, if you speak on hip hop history and you say the wrong thing, try it. No, no, no, no, no.

This is the thing I want to tell y'all. Because in the future, if you do it the right way, you should never ever drop an album and give it your life. You should drop a podcast. This is what I'm trying to tell you. Hear me out.

Steve, we're all going to agree once I make my point. Right? Sometimes you throw your product out, but it's in a Costco. You know what a Costco is? The Costco got every fucking thing. Right?

Do you really want to go to Costco and buy everything? You already got your more and lower. You already got your mower mower. You already got everything else, right? You already got everything. Why would you ever want to mower mower? You already got it. You know what I mean. You already got it.

Mower mower? Not a lawn mower. Mower mower. Mower mower. This my nigga Fab. I helped him out with the beginning. Listen. So listen, you already got that.

Why would you keep going to the Costco when you could actually go to the person who you fuck with? Right? So if, let's just say, right? You dropped an album on a party. RZA just sold art. He sold an album as art. See that nigga's kid with the fucking interior of shit he just did? An album as art.

Right? Two million dollars? Two million dollars. Two million dollars, right? So he sold it to the nigga, it's two million dollars. Now that person can actually do whatever he wants. Nah, I don't think he can.

Okay. I don't know for a fact, but I don't think he can. But do you understand that level of business, or I'm buggin'? No. No? You don't understand the level of business?

No, I understand. I know you understand, you like the major labels. You understand. Just two men and... How about you? I got a different love for hip hop. I don't want to sell my album to one person and then have it as art. I want the masses to hear my music. But look at like Mona Lisa.

As far as Mona Lisa. Yeah, that's cool. Mona Lisa and all that is cool. I'm just saying I wouldn't want that ever. That's not the way we work over here. I wouldn't ever want one person with just one album I want my shit to be everybody anybody, every and anybody to get

I get what that does, I get what that is that's like an appreciation it's an art piece it's a different thing but musically speaking, I don't want that music like just selling a piece of material like a Mona Lisa but musically speaking, I don't want that for music. For music?

Like just selling a piece of material, like a Mona Lisa. If a Mona Lisa was sold. Still to one person, I still own that Mona Lisa. Only one person. They put it in a museum for everybody to look at. To look at and see. But you can't, they can't appreciate it. They can't have it on their wall.

But you don't think hip hophop is like the ultimate art? Yeah, but I think it's everybody's art. An artist, a fan, a producer. You know what I mean? It's different. It's different. It's so much. Everybody gets a piece of the art.

They get to enjoy it in their way. That's why music, like, all your memories, you got a memory to music. One summer, we was doing this, but we was listening to this. You know what I mean? That winter, I was hustling. I was listening to this album the whole time I was hustling. You're going to always have that.

So if only one person gets to have that, that's selfish within the art to me.

Oh. It was Nice Nipples Nick. You can't speed this story up. You got to. No, but I'm calling you. Listen, they say you could run down. You could fuck one or two. Or we could walk down.

We could fucking walk. So I need to hear this. You very question me. I feel like you and Fab are saying, you're signaling, I'm an artist, I understand how this works. Niggas is signaling and saying, no, this is not what this is.

This is drink 10, drink some more. Have a great time, Fab. I feel like you felt like you said I never gave me a verse I feel like you owe me a verse. So just Okay, so now we're gonna give him a video so you're absolutely not You know what I need more I'm good with that I'm good with that. Go ahead. He called me one day. Which name you like? Who?

Fendi and Nicki called me. You never see her? No, they're on the other end of the phone. You like Nicki Minaj? Nicki Minaj? Or some other name. Me, I like Nicki Minaj. Actually, Kiss was the first rapper that ever did a feature with Nicki, ever.

We've never heard Kiss talk about this. The whole career. I mean, it's nothing. What am I going to get off of it now? Where to switch the subject to, Maury? He's great. The kiss is good. You see all that? No, no, I mean, what is there to talk about?

I did a lot of favors for a lot of people. I didn't do it for that. I did it out of the heart, out of the love. So now, Fendi, you now meet this girl. How do you meet her? How do you meet her in Queens? What do you mean, in Queens? I'm in the MySpace.

Huh? MySpace? I'm in the MySpace. OK. Fendi need a better lawyer. And then what happened? We got to chip in, do a GoFundMe, and get Fendi the right lawyer.

Yeah, I need a GoFundMe tomorrow. You need the right lawyer. If he had the right lawyer. Stay with your dog, man. We can definitely talk. I don't know if I'm making a side deal right here. Or a rifle. Y'all got to stop.

You need a lawyer or a rifle. So now, so now, now, we all got to ask the million dollar question because That's the bathroom right there?

Yeah, yeah, go ahead, get busy. So you started out with Nikki. Yeah, yeah, get busy. So you started out with Nicki. Yeah, yeah, get busy. You started out with Nicki, but then you wound it up with Lil' Kim after this. You lost her too. I'm not even going to walk from the bathroom.

Can I keep it, keep it on? Keep your mic on. You lost her too. Keep it going. Yeah. All right, so. Keep it going. Yeah. All right. So I definitely wasn't going to take it where Kim's going. But now that he took it there.

What's going on with you? What happened? Don't tell me you're Harvey Weinstein. No. I know that's not funny. I swear to God, I apologize. What happened? You said what now? Get to the question. I definitely didn't say what I said. swear to God, I apologize. So what happened, you said what now?

Get to the question. I definitely didn't say what I said. You didn't ask the question. So why, look. So you started with Nick. I discovered Nicky. You want to elaborate on discovery? Or let's leave it alone.

No, we can talk about that. I discovered Nicky. Because we didn't even know. Let me enlighten you a little bit. I like Nicki. Because we didn't even know. Let me enlighten you a little bit. I discovered Nicki. I named her Nicki Minaj. Ray Mertens, D-Ray Davis, I took a fat. Oh, okay.

Shit just got real. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah, what were we at? I'm telling you, man. Let me jump in. I named her Nicki Minaj. I named him a lawyer. Who'm telling you, Gag, let me jump in. I never knew you were not. He's a new lawyer.

Who? Oh, him. He gets the artists from nothing. He molds them to something. They get all weighed up to the plate. They hit a home run, and they run the bases, and then run right past me. Mm.

He shit on you, basically. He was out here looking good until the kiss came on. No, it's not that. I always had the right paperwork. I'm just not the guy who... I'm so street-orientated that when you cross me,

I want to hurt you. I don't want to go to the lawyer. Listen, listen, listen. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm going back to the kids. My problem is... There's no way you had the right paperwork.

How's that, Jadakiss? If he had the right, the same way there's no way Weezy could have the right paperwork on Nicky and Drake. Because if he did, through all of this Birdman turmoil, the revenue off them could have them kicking back until that gets figured out. I disagree, Jadakiss. If you had the right paperwork on Nicki Minaj. I had the right, I got, no.

You would have got paid, Finley. You got to fight this in court. I'm telling you that. This is a court issue. That's when it ain't the right paperwork. Well, I disagree. You just don't want to fight it in court? No, we're not going to the next question.

Oh, okay. I like this. I'm standing right here. If I get another drink, Dory, this is going to turn into the Phinney Champs. All right, good. Get another drink. I want some champagne. I want one of these.

Drink one of these whole public shits. Phinney, knock my shit, knock shit off. Give me that. Let's go. Give him that. All right, all right, all right, all right. Come on, we're going to turn this the right way. He ain't know the Fat Boys was signed to him.

Yeah, let's go. What? Hold on a second. These are the young guys. Get this in the case. You're fabulous. Listen. Did Nick Land manage you at the Fat Boys before?

Oh, word. The Fat Boys. That's what he just said. The Fat Boys were signed to Fendi. This is my question, Nori. Fendi? I like your question. The Fat Boys were signed to Fendi.

What was the Fat Boys' original name before they turned into the Fat Boys? Ask Jada. That's a little bit over me. Disco 3. Oh, goddamn. I'm supposed to know that, Steve You right Nori Back to you

No, it's never back to you Back to you I just want to tell y'all something I love you Don't ever try to control my environment Okay, well, it's good All right, listen We all mic'd up

Don't ever My environment is controlled. Whether you think it is or it is or not. Alright, listen, you went from Nicki Minaj to Lil' Kim. And we're going to get back to you later. But that's okay because we know what it is. It's all about, what is it called again? Friday on Elm Street.

Friday. We got it. Friday on Elm Street. We relaxed. We had fun. We got it. Friday on Elm Street. We relaxed. We had fun. Fab. Yo, I 100% enjoyed you coming here.

I want you to... No, no, no. We ain't closing. I got another topic. Oh, you got another topic. I'm in. I just... I had to take a piss.

Hold on. Let me get a drink because I can't let you... I can't let you... I can't let this go. Let's go. Can't let this go. I'm in.

This is light topic. It's nothing crazy. All right, I'm in. Light topic. I'm in. No, you can pull me up. You can pull me up. I'm in.

All right. Oh, we finished this. Yeah, I'm doing a shot with Fab. We finished this. Because Fab's... No, no, no. Before we get out of here, because we got to get out of here, we got to play. We got to touch shot with Fab. We finished this. No, no, no, before we get out of here, because we got to get out of here,

we got to play, we got to touch his Dominicanism. Yalla. Say something. This nigga's kitchen's good. Oh, man. Damn, Drake champ's a million. No kidding. Yo, let me tell you something.

Listen, Lee. Niggas thorn. You thought I was kidding. Yo, let me tell you something. Listen, Lee. Niggas, start. You thought I was asleep. I came over with a mean sack. Listen, time out. For the second one. People think... When people hear this episode...

I'm about to start dozing off. No, no, no, no. When people hear this episode, they're going to think Puff Daddy was the host, but that is a lie. It is Jada Kiss that was the host tonight. I was drunk.

Us in the Latino community, we need you to say, when a person say, what are you, fabulous? Hold on, if my brothers defect before you, because I got to balance it. I'm the black mills lane. I definitely don't know where you're going. Because he didn't know.

He might not know this that you're about to tell him. Okay. Your pops is Dominican, right? You know, we represent uptown. You being vodka, you get a lot of bags uptown. You get a lot of love uptown. It's like a curse. No matter how it played out, you can't say that your pops is Dominican.

This is like you taking a shotgun to the Dominican. They rather you just say I'm Dominican or don't say nothing because when you just say my pops is Dominican it's like you push the Dominicans off the ledge you didn't push me God I don't know if your father's alive or whatever but if you say like if I say my father's Puerto Rican if it fucks people up that's Puerto Rican they want me to say I'm Puerto Rican. It fucks people up that's Puerto Rican. They want me to say, I'm Puerto Rican. You know what I'm saying? So that's something I always wanted to give you because it doesn't matter whatever, whatever.

It is another few hundred million over there on the Dominican side that you miss. You motherfucker. I just didn't grow up Dominican, though. No, so I don't grow up Puerto Rican. I don't speak Spanish. I made a Spanish album, fam! I literally made a Spanish album!

I just stood there the whole day and fucking helped him teach me that part. That part, I was like, you fucking nigga! Everybody laughing at me in hip hop, I'm over there like this, uh-huh. Nobody stabbed nobody today. It's fantastic, because, you know, I'm over there like this. Uh-huh. Nobody stabbed nobody today. It's fantastic. Because, you know, I'm sorry. I came from the bad era of hip-hop.

Every party, somebody gets stabbed, shot. You don't understand how happy I was. You don't understand. I was in... Niggas laughing at me, though. I'm in doing reggaeton. Niggas like... So... No, no, though. I'm doing reggaeton. Niggas like, so,

no, no, no, no. That was local. But Fab, on behalf of all Dominican people, I'm not Dominican, I'm Puerto Rican. But y'all like cousins. On behalf of all Dominican people,

you have to start saying you Dominican. You know why? Because you are Dominican, right? I'm Puerto Rican. I don't speak shit. I don't speak none of that. When you say that, you're going to have so many knives around you. And you're good.

Wherever you're at, you just got to claim them. See, that was the problem. People didn't think you claimed them. You did a video, remember? You just gave them knowledge, though. No, no. You think you claimed them. You put a... You did a video. Remember? You put this video. See, you just gave him knowledge, though. No, no. He can't speak.

He might get speaking good. I can't speak this shit. No, but he didn't know he could get the... No, I know Fab can't speak this shit. He didn't know he could get the pass... He didn't know he could get the pass... ...without all of the resources. Me and him is moving in.

Huh? No. He know that, maybe. Maybe he did. Maybe he did. No, no, no. That's what I'm saying. Fab, if you need some Spanish... Spanish Dominican.

Fendi is not. Fendi is not. Fendi. That's what I'm saying. Fabs, you need some Spanish. Fendi's Dominican. Fendi is not. Fendi's been hot. Ever since you subbed Zero, that's it. You have to number change on me. Niggas start managing Fabs. Zero start working out.

It's a word on the street, he want a rematch. No, stop. Stop, dude. All right. Sub-Zero going. I feel like I set myself up for this. I feel like I should have just stayed over there. It's all your fault, man.

Sometimes you got to just stay in your lane. Yeah, I should, yeah. Yeah, to level out is about leveling up, Yeah. Level out. It's about leveling up. Sometimes it's about leveling out. This is my lane. This is my lane. It's a light lane.

I'm just saving my time. Who you say he used to manage at first? Fendi? Kubo D. Nah,

I'm going to leave you alone. What's all the niggas he had? He said Big Daddy Kane. Rick FF. So, so, now, how was you alone. What's all the niggas he had? He said Big Daddy Kane. Rick F.A. So, now, how has you, Clu, Skane, you know, Where's Skane at?

Like, that relationship right now for y'all? Like, because I know... I ain't up top on it, too. Yeah, and Jermaine. Because I know what happens in the beginning sometimes don't happen at the end. Yeah, I'm still cool with all of them sometimes don't happen at the end. Yeah, I'm still cool with all of them.

Still cool with all of them. Scheme dollar, holler. That never happened. Fab got a lot of loyalty, man. I respect that. I'm still cool. You know what I mean? I don't break my circle of friendship unless

my friends did something to break the circle. Other than that, we'll be friends forever. You know what I'm saying? I have a loyal friendship to people that I'm friends with. Let's clap for that, y'all, please. We always wanted to say that. You got one off. Is there anything you regret doing in this game?

Like, not really. Anything you regret doing in this game? Not really. I wish I valued the time. Because even how long we've been here this long, I didn't value the time. I kind of was just moving at your own pace. Even like when artists get into little things and they just like, I'm the shit and I just do what I, you know what I mean?

They don't value the time or sometimes the space that you the guy in that era, like you gotta value that shit. Cause it's gonna be somebody else's time, you know what I mean? Some deep shit, keep talking please, I'm sorry. You know what I mean? Please, I'm sorry.

I just wish that out, you know? And I wish even everybody, like, they should value their time. When it's your time, you gotta value that shit, because it's really precious. And then you can have a little time when you value the time, but it's the first time that you're talking about, right?

Mm-hmm. Meaning when it was the first time. It's like that first everybody was looking at. But then you have that time. You only knew once. You only knew once. You only knew once. You said that yesterday. We was talking about that.

Niggas don't value that. Can you say that? You touched on that. Nori touched on that yesterday. I said you're going to be the hot new nigga once. You only get that hot new nigga once. Once. You could be the hot nigga forever. But you're going to be the hot new nigga once. Once. You could be the hot nigga forever.

But you're going to be the hot new nigga once. The nigga just said the same exact shit. Said the same exact shit. In a different way. Yeah. Same thing, different way. I know y'all going to wrap it up. You got to relax.

All right. You got to wrap it up? Yes. I feel like I got to say one more thing. I got notes and shit. I never use none of them. Hit one. Nah, fuck the notes. I like the organic more thing. I got notes and shit. I never even used none of them. Hit one. Nah, fuck the notes.

New episodes premiere on Revolt TV every Thursday. If we don't release a new episode, it's because it's the holidays or we're giving our liver a break. Following that Thursday release, it reruns all weekend on Revolt TV

and then the Monday following that Thursday, going into Tuesday, we drop the full unedited audio. So Monday night going into Tuesday. Then the full unedited audio. So Monday night going into Tuesday. Then the full unedited video drops online on YouTube and Revolt.TV on Wednesdays. So the Monday is the full audio. Wednesday is the full online video release. And that's following the Thursday before that, that it airs on Revolt.TV, the TV edit of it.
