They were like Avericks and 8 Ball had a baby, and it was FJ560, and they had Leathers in the Bronx. It's a scuppet who I think one of the illest lyrical people in the world goes by the name of Big Pun. Rest in peace. He's now still out here relevant in this game And he's even got a podcast in case you don't know Drink champs people know I don't need no introduction because I popped this motherfucking That's right!

I was trying to lose weight, so I didn't go. I stayed home. You know what I mean? And I stopped. I'm smoking cigarettes, and I knew that if I go to New York for those days, I was going to smoke. So I kind of picked my health

Was it a restaurant? It was serious. It was in 9-11. Yeah, World Trade Center. 9-11. It was some shit, my nigga.

To go in there, you had to be searched like the airport. Damn. Like, they had to... You had to take your shoes off, your belt, shit. Or like go on a tunnel. TSA, my nigga. Like Rikers Island on a tunnel? Like Rikers Island.

Like, no, no, for real, man. No, good. They just wasn't that advanced. They didn't put you on a seat. That's right. That's right. Seems you got a raise on your ass. Yeah, they put you on the seat Joe sir, I'm gonna take sir, I'm gonna take it with some club soda, man, you know, I don't drink like that, but I'm going to drink like that. He did not drink on the first time. No, I don't drink. This is special. But then we went to his sneaker store,

and he did drink a little bit of water. I remember. He drank a little bit of water. He's promoting. He was promoting. He almost killed all of us drinking that shit. We not drinking that no more? Fajal, we not drinking that no more? Let's just know we not drinking that no more. So what do I do with my Mariah? Are you an afro-Cuban?

Ooh, this is going around. What's this going around? Is this really going around? I'm not a Negro. I'm selling some shit like this. I'm not a Negro. Are you an Afro-Cuban? I mean, I guess I'm not.

I guess I'm a Euro-Cuban. I don't know. My parents... Yo, my nigga, this is crazy. My history goes to Spain. Okay, when you say... And Taino. I'm a little Taino in there.

You know, when you say Afro-Cubans, those are people who identify that Cubans actually came from Africa. That's all you're saying. No. That's what you're saying. No, no, no, no. That's what that means, right? No, listen, listen. Nah.

You guys listen. I don't know what it means. There's more culture. I don't know what it means. I'm just playing. But niggas be on my Twitter now. Are you an Afro-Latino? I'm like, nigga, I'm black.

Get the fuck out of here. Our culture is Afro-everything. Yes, I'm trying to say this. Our culture as Latinos is Afro-everything. Let me give you a historical fact. At one point, no disrespect, because we got some Cubans that get offended. But at one point, there was 8 million Cubans in Cuba, and 3 million were actually Cuban. The other 5 million were slaves, African slaves.

So this is a hidden fact. But wait, wouldn't that be more? In slavery time. But wouldn't you define that better as the other ones are Spanish, Spaniards? No, no, no. I would define it as, let's just say people from Cuba. They're natural born citizens. Natalinos.

People naturally born in Cuba were 3 million, and there were 5 million African slaves there. And they was doing a whole lot of fucking, my nigga. So, niggas got some African in them, man. Of course. I don't know. Of course. For niggas having African in them. Of course.

So, yo. I mean, we're going to bounce all over the place. But did you ever think you'd be here this long? Like, for real. Because honestly, you know, I hear your story all the time when I think about Chris Lighty, right? And I think about you saying Chris Lighty brought you to Relativity Records, right? And I think about artists that was on Relativity Records at that time prior to you and after you. And there's probably about, there's not even a handful of artists who survived

that era, like who's even there. I looked at Kadar the other day. I was in the Soho house. I seen Kadar and I was just like, I had to give him a five and a hug just to see. He's rich. He's rich. He survived. He's rich. He's still out here. And it made me think. I love Kadar

because Kadar is the nigga who let me put Joe the Singer on Big Pun's record nobody even knew who Big Pun was that's right

because because of my relationship with Kadar he sent Joe the Singer and matter of fact Joe the Singer has sold like a half a million

that week that was like he was the biggest nigga in the game and he came and he sung on Big Pun shit so Kadar changed my life. This is Kadar Entertainment, Kadar, right?

Yeah, he lives in Miami. He lives in Miami. I got to see him the other day. So, what I'm saying is did you ever think you would last this long? No way. And then, not only last this long, because some people are just, they can just float. You're not floating. You're on top

of a yacht. Yo, my nigga, let me tell you something you know this people like this but that's what you said no way that's all no way no way let me tell you something this new single nori that he never thought this new single right i haven't dropped the record right since leaning back pick it up pick it up okay they got 600 spins on mix show not even ads in one week. So this motherfucker looking like it's going to be a missile on these niggas. 2018 for your ass. How did you clear that sample? You know, Tupac scored. I had to hit everybody off.

But you know a nigga like me. Shoot again, Tupac. I said, you hit Tupac? Yeah, Tupac. Yo, let me tell you something, man. I just got great relationships, as you know. You know what I'm saying? And I went hard to clear it. I just got great relationships, as you know. You know what I'm saying?

And I went hard to clear it. It was very, very, very expensive. And, you know, thank God they let me clear it, man. And then, you know, we got a little backlash. Niggas are like, why you use the Tupac? Daz Dillinger came on Instagram like, yo, Joe. You know, he produced that shit for that Tupac. Keeping hip hop real, nigga.

Joe Crack. Trey, what's up, my niggas this shit hard fuck that so that shut that thing down right quick you know what I mean but about being here this long no

no uh uh impossible I mean I thought to tell you the truth I think I deserve to be president of every single label

every single label I think you did too you've got the experience so all these fancy all these fancy uh right slick looking niggas with the bow ties and all that, even though I had one on for the brunch, they come up to me like, yo, you're the best A&R in the game. I said, yeah, I should be having your job. Time out. Time out.

I should be having your job. Time out. This is where we got to go. You know where I'm going with it? Yes, I know. We had Steve Stout on the show. So Steve Stout says on the show. That's a bow tie, nigga.

Yeah, but listen to what he says on the show. He definitely is a bow tie nigga. So he says on the show, which I didn't catch on. The fans caught on and they hit me after the show came out. They say, oh, Nori,

how you going to let him say that about Joe? And he says on the show, he says, Fat Joe is a better A&R than he is an artist. So I didn't understand what he meant because we're inebriated or whatever. But when the fans heard that, they took it as disrespect. They said, how could you? No, I don't take it.

I take it as a compliment. Thank God he's acknowledging that I got a good ear and I know how to make hits. No, I don't look at it And No thank god He mentioned my name Your fans A lot of niggas Be hiding my name Yeah your fans

Hate it at him A lot of niggas Be hiding my name Right You know Somebody I love I'ma just tell you the truth Right

Somebody I really Really really love Eminem Know what I'm saying I've been waiting for him To tell me I've been waiting For the day for him

To say big pun Inspired him I haven't heard it yet You can hear it You can hear it Know what I'm saying? I've been waiting for him to tell me. I've been waiting for the day for him to say Big Pun inspired him. I haven't heard it yet. You can hear it. You can hear it. You know what I'm saying? So I love him and I support him one million percent. But I've been waiting for the day to drink Champ J or something for him to say,

you know what? Big Pun inspired me. You know what I'm saying? Because some niggas don't like to give it up. Like, you understand what I'm saying? So the fact that Steve Stout came up up here that means i'm one step closer they might they might like me let's make some noise for humble 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.

Yo, hold on. I want to ask both of y'all something because you just reminded me of this. Do you think pun gets enough respect? No. We the niggas, you know, last time I said that, I got controversy. No, I get controversy more. Between me and Nori, I feel like we the only niggas that, your niggas got cups down there. You got to stop. I came up in here when this shit was like an experiment, my nigga. And we still experimenting. No, no, no.

No, you guys. Hang on, you guys. And we still experiment. No, no, no. No, you guys. Hang on, you guys. Don't do this. You know this shit. Now, come on. I came up here. I was the guinea pig, my nigga. I'm sitting up here.

I'm like, oh, no. This nigga's going nowhere fast. Get him out of the smoking crack. And this. Remember when the whole boy was washing my drugs? Don't know. Don't take it. Listen, here i can't take it listen here's the thing man hip-hop is so beautiful fad joe wait don't don't disregard my question okay what was the question oh this pun so sorry i'm glad you did that yeah okay you want me to go first because i was thinking about that i think me and nori uh are the leaders of the big pun

movement to where we keep them alive. And you know what bothers me sometimes? There's a lot of people, when I give pun his props, a lot of people think that I'm giving his props, one, because I'm Puerto Rican, and two, because pun passed away. And that's just not it.

Or three, they think that because me and him were so close. I'm telling you, I've never seen a person come down, sit on a couch, on a couch, and flow his shit all the way through. Like, I've never seen that. I've never seen a person come down, sit on a couch on a couch and flow his shit all the way through. I've never seen that. He was

out of breath but when he got on the mic he was in breath. That was ingenious itself. If you ever spoke to Big or if you ever spoke to Pun, they both spoke like this. They were like... But when you hit him on the mic, that shit erases. You got to, we didn't have technology.

Hazardous could be an engineer back then and take off the breathing. No, you can't. So whatever you had, that's what makes Punn one of the best to me. Not just his lyrical content, but his breath control. I just knew how he was the best because niggas was just scared of him. Do you know how hard that shit was to say, Dead in the middle was a little Italy, little did we know that we riddle some middlemen who didn't do diddly. For a person, five hundred pounds.

You could pass out. I just lost some weight. I just lost some weight and that shit fucking me up right now. I'm singing that shit. I forced him to say that on the record. Yeah, we wrote Deep Cover together and I was like, yo, we need a record that's going to be in the West Coast.

So we flipped the Dr. Dre's too. You know what? I totally forgot you did like a Pick It Up type of version back then. Damn, I totally forgot that. But that was a joke to Pun.

Pun always... Well, it wasn't a joke to us. Today I met him dead in the middle of the little... He used to say it like joking around. Like the pack and the mac in the back of the act. It was a joke. like joking around. Right, right. Like the pack of the mack in the back of the act.

Like it was a joke. Right, right. So one day when we did it, I said, yo, that shit should go in there. He was like, oh, that shit whack. It's a joke. It's a joke. I'm like, yo, my nigga, you need to put that shit in here. And then I forced him and the nigga did the dead in the middle of the little.

Yo, I remember doing the Apollo with this nigga. Wow. I think you came out with us. I think I, yeah. We had matching furs on you're my nigga we come out we do that shit that's the first song and he go we drop the music dead in the middle of it it looked like the power was gonna crack then i back up and run behind stage and then we come out again, eight times in a row we did, like, going backstage like you never saw us the first time. Come on, we was assholes, man. We was assholes, man.

It's crazy. So now you being a hip-hop head, you a real hip-hop head. I mean, I speak to you off the record all the time, and you know about everything. That's why it was no surprise to me that you having a podcast because you abreast of everything. Shout out Coco Vision on time, man. And we're going to get straight. We're going to get into that a whole long time. But recently Mace and Cam'ron battled.

Yeah. I know you for being the biggest Mace fan. Like a lot of people don't know that about Fat Joe. I wouldn't know if I'm the biggest Mace fan. I just know what's right. Right. What do you mean by that? Mace is Kanye West's favorite rapper.

He's Eminem's favorite rapper. Which is deep. What? That's deep. I just mentioned Kanye West and Eminem. He's their favorite rapper. That's crazy. I'll tell you even the biggest secret.

The way I got Eminem on the Leanback remix was because I played him the Mace verse. And Mace had retired and we thought he was never coming back. So when I played him the verse, he was like, ah, send me the song. And then he got on the remix. You know what I'm saying? Mace is like, you know, Mace was phenomenal. You know what I'm saying? And Cameron's a living legend.

And Cameron is incredible too. Did you see that coming? Did you see Mace actually? Man, we... Fuck Cam'ron. Right. Me, Cam'ron, and the whole United States of America been disrespecting Mace for the last 20 years. Every time we got a rhyme and we got to say some crazy shit-

Niggas go to church like Mace. Niggas go to church like Mace. All my quit and run to the altar boy like Mace. I'm like, that nigga's been fucking with him forever. Very true. I bought Cam'ron's album and I watched him take shots at Mace. Yo, I saved the nigga. I'm like, I'm going to take a shot at him.

I'm going to take a shot at him. I'm going to take a shot at him. I'm going to take a shot at him. I'm going to take a shot at him. I'm going to take a shot at him. I'm like, that nigga's been fucking with him forever. Very true. I bought Cam Run's album. And I watched him take shots at Mase. Yo, I saved the nigga. Nigga tried to give me $20 after that. I heard all that. So when he came back at him, it was like about time.

Right. You understand what I'm saying? Right. And that was just that. I thought he got one up on on on cam I didn't see that coming what I didn't see that mace oh I don't know who could win out of that no I'm saying I didn't see that I would have said if I no no no I didn't see it either I didn't see it coming it happened yeah that was it so I can't tell you who who would have won before they dropped it because they both ill. And Cameron's an asshole.

Like, in a funny way. Like, he's an asshole. Oh, he'll fuck with you. You know what I mean? He's a funnier 50 Cent. Like, this nigga will fuck with you. So I'm like, I couldn't tell you. If you grabbed me right there and said,

who's going to win? I'd have been like, yo, I don't know. Because, you know, I know Mace is going to come with some fly shit. But he took 20 years to come back. So that's the reason why. That jab. It was like it was only a jab, but the jab felt like a knockout jab because it took 20 years.

And then when he finally did it. Hey, let's put it like this. Something I know. He inspired Dipset to make an album. Wow. They in the studio every day working. Wow. That's very true.

So he, you know, sometimes shit is a blessing in disguise. Speaking of Dipset, because I just recently watched you on The Breakfast Club, and you said, you attributed moving to Miami for the time when New York was all beat up. I wouldn't say all of that, but yeah. Yeah. Because everybody, and one of the main moves. So for our fans that didn't hear The Breakfast Club interview, let me just explain to what Joe was saying. He was alluded to.

I watched Joe. He sat down, and he spoke about Miami. He said, well, I used to come to Miami, but the time that I was. For years, you've been coming to Miami forever. He said he used to come to Miami forever, but the time that he really focused and he lived out here was when New York was beefing. And in particular, when it was like Cameron and Nas and Jim telling them to go on snack movies. What happened was they gave niggas a lot of money. And at that time, everybody made a lot of money because I know all these niggas.

Trevor Squad, y'all made $10 million first. We made a lot of money. We made $10 million. But listen, that's not what I'm saying. They gave niggas a lot of money. We made 10 million. But listen, that's not what I'm saying. Okay. They gave niggas a lot of money. And what happened was when you give some niggas some money, they start acting up like they don't know how to act. They start feeling like more goons start coming around, more real niggas. More you. You know, how many rappers we watch, and this is not in reference to Dipset to nobody.

Right. But how many rappers you watch come in the game, humble pop, blow up, and all of a sudden they gangsters. And they got 100,000 with them. Yo, I'm down with this gang. And then they got bandanas. I mean,

they gave a bunch of niggas, whether it was Rockefeller, whether it was Terror Squad, whether it was Dipset, whether it's whatever, even Th was Terror Squad Whether it was Dipset Whether it was whatever Even Thugged Out You was rolling around like it It was average G-Unit

Everybody all of a sudden Started feeling like It's about us Fuck that Fuck y'all And then that's where The unity in New York hip hop Faded away

Because everybody was doing this Now I always viewed, definitely, if it ain't Nas and Jay-Z dissing each other, I feel like you shouldn't be able to diss him. I feel like Nas disappointed you a lot and you never, ever dissed him. Yeah, yeah, he disappointed me a lot,

but I wasn't going to diss him. I wasn't going to diss him. Wait, how did he disappoint you? I mean, just like, you know, personal, like personal thing. I felt like, you know personal like personal thing I felt like you know you know Joe looked at Nas wasn't you gonna name your son Nas at one point I was gonna name my son Nas I looked up to Nas you know what made you disappointed in him just different things man I mean you know is it personal I don't know is it yeah I think I you know it was you know it's

just personal shit you know what I mean I still see him I say what's just personal shit. You know what I mean? I still see him. I say, what's up? Was he at the brunch too as well? No, he wasn't at that one. You know what I'm saying? I just feel like I love Nas. I was just trying to tell you that he's a God. That nobody should disrespect him.

Definitely. Because it's Nas and Jay-Z. Then at the same time, I feel like we from two different DNAs. You know what I'm saying? We cut from two different cloths. Right. And that's just how I view its You know what I'm saying We cut from two different cloths And that's just how I view it You know what I'm saying I have to understand it You know what I mean

Because a nigga like me Who's so loyal and love niggas and all that You know we just move different It's just like me Some of the older gods From the older generation They might not identify with me And even if I don't identify with them I just shut the fuck up Like I will never get on And disrespect the older people You they might not identify with me. And even if I don't identify with them,

I just shut the fuck up. Like, I will never get on and disrespect the older people. You know what I'm saying? So that's the reason why I feel like this generation is different from ours. So different. Because a person could actually come up to them

and they could ask them about Fat Joe. And they say, Fat Joe get busy. They say, get busy? They say, yeah. His crew get busy. And one of these young dudes will still disrespect you because they know they don't got to run into you in the streets because they're in the computers.

And that's the thing that's different. That's the problem. That's the problem. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, I feel like any nigga that's willing to say something. See, first of all, I go by this quote. I'm going to find it in the phone for you that John Gotti said. Okay. I'm going to find it in the phone for you that John Gotti said. Anything you say, you should be waiting to hear back in court, getting played back to you in court.

Anything you ever say, you should know that it can be played back to you in court. This is a quote from John Gotti. And my thing is, everything I say, I mean it. And I'm willing to go down for it, whatever it is. I really don't care, guys. I'm not lying to you. I'm ready to die. You should be held by the way Joe crack is.

So with me, I don't give a fuck. So if I say something, I mean it. You know what I mean? So when other niggas choose to say something about me, you should mean it. Because if you crawl up the wrong alley or you're in the wrong lounge or you're in the wrong place, you got to answer for these things. I don't give a fuck if I'm campaigning for Obama in the afternoon. I'll catch you in the motherfucking diner at night and you said some slick shit about me. You need to answer for that.

You will answer for that, my nigga. Like, trust me when I tell you, nobody ever wins against me. That's all I'm going to leave. I'm going to leave it at that. You will answer for that, my nigga. Like, trust me when I tell you, nobody ever wins against me. That's all I'm going to leave. I'm going to leave it at that. Nobody ever wins against me. I'm going to be honest with you. You know what I'm saying? So if you say if you publicly can say yo, Fat Joe, suck my dick.

Fuck your mother, this and that. Alright, my nigga. It's cool. I learned a new one. Niggas try to get you upset you know 50 told me the secret he said you you got a lot of pride so anytime I needed new beef I would say some shit to you I know you're gonna jump out the window so now I know the strategy yo chill don't jump out the window when we watching when we catch you at the wrong award show Or somewhere I ain't papito It's a bad one for you bro

Cause how was that at first I remember at first You know They're announcing that you and him Both are performing for Chris Lighty's That was love my nigga That was What was it

I forget His tribute His tribute At the BET Awards And I remember Raul posting the picture And I remember The nigga rock The nigga Stephen Hill is a funny nigga. He calls me up and he says, yo, we're doing a tribute for Chris Lighty.

I was at the Yellow Tape video, me, French, and ASAP. And when he called me, I was like, bet, I'll do it. I had a show in Australia too. I had to move. I was like, bet, no problem. He was like, yeah, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, this and that, this and that, 50 Cent. And Nori ain't going to be there. I'm like, he, Missy Elliott. Busta Rhymes, this and that, this and that, 50 Cent. And Noriega will be there. I'm like, he thought I ain't here

in a 50 Cent. You know what I'm saying? Not only that. Busta Rhymes. I know. So Missy Elliott will be doing her number. So I'm like, alright, cool. Chris Lighty saved my life.

You understand what I'm saying? So literally saved my life. So I said, alright know Chris Lighty saved my life Right You understand what I'm saying So literally saved my life Right So I said alright Let's go The crazy shit is They put It was almost like a setup

Right So they put my trailer In the back 50 cents Name on his door With a star Fat Joe's name On the door

With a star Right in front of each other Oh So I'm Swear to God They didn't try to separate. Sometimes, they be separating friends.

Like, they heard Nori and you don't get along, they'll put you on the side of the stage. And they'll say his name off the door. Or something.

With me, they had it right there. Right. Let's see what this thing's about. Right. So when I was in the trailer and Pistol Pete came in and he was like,

yo, this is the craziest shit you ever heard, God. I was like, what? He said, yo, 50 Cent told me it's G-Unit and Terror Squad peace for Chris Lighty. So I'm like, nigga, you've been in jail your whole fucking life. You don't believe this? Nigga, what's wrong with you?

How many niggas you seen spit this shit to you and all that? Fuck that. Stay on point, nigga. You know what this is, right? So I'm sitting in there now. You know, because I'm a warlord. So I'm sitting in there like studying the map, all right?

What if this happens? What if this goes down? What if this, this? And showing up, we went into the rehearsal and I told the story a million times. You know what I'm saying? We finished performing

and he was like, yo, peace for fucking Chris Lighty. So I was like, you know, I would have never thought I would squash that beef. But you want to know what? It was a great thing to do. It was great for hip-hop. It showed that niggas could mature. It showed that niggas could move on.

He's a good friend of mine now. That's crazy. That's crazy. Him and Ja Rule, that's never going to happen. Never going to happen. Him and Irv. Y'all, I mean, that's never going to happen. Never going to happen. Him and Irv. Him and the niggas, y'all. I mean, they never going to.

We could never do nothing about that. And you know, I'm a Queens nigga, so I don't even try. I don't even try. I mean, I don't think you can. I love them both, too. But I can't even try. It's okay. I got this shit.

Today I was all, Fat Joe playing it all day. Every time we interview an artist, we upgrade it since you first came here. What we do is we go into this. We immerse ourselves in the artist. So we bury ourselves in a discography.

One day I went to... Stick Up My Cuzz. That's a fact. You stuck up your... That whole song was facts. I just want to realize... For a long time when I first started,

everything I said was real. So one day you went to... So you were incriminating yourself. I'm really not. Everybody talking about killing. Spoiler line, one day you went to see your uncle...

One day I said, one day I went to see my aunt and stuck up my cuss. Let's just make noise for Fat Joe being a fat man. I thought about doing that. I just never did that. Fat Joe, go ahead. You know what happened to me was that my cousin, I gave him some work. You know what I'm saying?

He was older than me. You know what I'm saying? You know, I ain't going was older than me You know what I'm saying You know I ain't gonna lie to you man I was just driving this shit From my mother and father's house Over here And I was just reminiscing I was listening to the old

80's songs and shit But I mean like Phil Collins And all that And I really really Big my own self up I'm not on my own dick But just Big my own self up

For having a lot of courage in my life. You know what I mean? Like, I used to get jumped every day by 20 niggas in junior high, but I would come out every day and punch the toughest nigga in his face and get beat up by 20 niggas. So I would get beat up every time, but I would, that's courage. You know what I mean?

What we were talking about, the shit is real. So the shit is real is my cousin, he was already like 20 years old. I real. So the shit is real is my cousin. He was really like 20 years old. I moved out my mother's house when I was 14. I was hustling the first day. I told my father I'm moving out. I was selling cracks outside in front of the building.

So now I gave my cousin a pack and he was way older than me. So I'm like 14. The nigga's like 22. So the nigga told, he told Uncle Dan, he told my uncle Dan yo Joey's dead I ain't gonna give it to him because I really technically was a little kid compared to my cousin so I went to my aunt my grandmother's uh block and they was in the building shooting dice him and a bunch of niggas were shooting dice I just went in there and started hooking on the nigga on your cousin yeah me and two niggas we shooting dice. I just went in there and started hooking on the nigga. On your cousin? Yeah, me and two niggas. First cousin. Me and 214, yo, man.

Pound the nigga out, man. You know? Courage. Now, one day, one day, I heard Elliot Wilson, right? I just heard him talking to a- You know Elliot Wilson?

Yeah, yeah. Hold on. No, I mean, this is actually serious. Because I heard him actually- This is actually serious. No, I actually heard him say this to somebody. He said, he was trying to get somebody's attention and said to them, well, I'm not an artist. I'm going to be here.

This is Elliot Wilson saying that. Saying this to somebody else. He's not an artist. I'm going to be here. He was saying to them, I'm a journalist. He was like, yo, I was trying to get at you. Like there's shelf life for an artist. And you were such and such.

And he was telling them, he was like, yo, I'm not an artist. I'm going to be here. And I remember that was my motivation. But that makes sense. What? That makes sense, him saying that. It wasn't him not hating. Technically, that makes sense.

You're certainly right. Let's be clear. Yep. I got a lot of love for Elliot Wilson. Me too, me too. This is not a shock, by the way. I think he kept it real with me my whole clear. Yep. I got a lot of love for Elliot Wilson. Me too. Me too. This is not a shock, by the way. I think he kept it real with me my whole career. Yep.

Big him up. You know, we joke around and shit, but I told him that Nori and him, they my boss. Because I don't want podcast beef. So I told the nigga, I told him, I don't want podcast beef. Nori's my boss. You my boss. Everybody, you want to be my boss up there? You too, you can be my boss.

You called me FN, I'm talking to my boss. I don't care about the FN. Yo, I'm telling you the truth, nigga. I don't want no podcast beat. So I tell a nigga like this, I said like this, I said, yo, Elliot, let me tell you something. He's right.

He's right. You know, I always looked at like radio program, like radio. Do you think artists have a limitation? Oh, yes, they do. Yeah. All these niggas think about it. Every last nigga that we hear. I mean, you even said it yourself that you didn't think you was still here.

Every last, oh, well, I'm here 20-something years. This is a big difference. Right, but you didn't think you would be here. I was a drug dealer, hustler, turned myself into a rapper. But what do you think? Is that what you meant, though, by not? No, I just wouldn't be here 20-something years. Like, who the fuck is here?

Now, one thing that's a different appearance about Fat Joe. I know you 25 years. Fat Joe's never had a beard. Oh, yeah. Is this the beard for the movie?

I'm loving the shade. Turn my wife on. The movie? Yeah, I got a couple of phone calls from my son on my dad popping you look good Come up in here with the motherfucking beer the first beer was like makeup right the first beer No, I wasn't makeup what it was was the Beijing it was Beijing I think no it wasn't it was a profession nigga I did a movie they forced me to have a beer so every day the nigga was throwing the fake shit on me two hours of a nigga giving you a big shit all stopped so

I seen the behind the scenes clips Y'all were putting on Instagram Yo my nigga That's what that was It saved my life I'm glad you're with a beard Yo my nigga Ain't taking me to Hollywood

Joe stop hitting the table please bro I'm sorry So with the graduation They said Alright grow a little beard. And then, you know, we're going to take off the fake one. So maybe you can't. You know, you got the, you know. And then I liked it.

And then I got mad compliments. And I was like, you know what, man? I'm going to keep the motherfucking beard. But I think it's all right, though. Nah, I'm just asking. It's a lot of maintenance. You got to have a barber in every state. Every day?

Every state. You know me, I'm a miático. In Spanish, that means like, I got a problem if I got one piece of hair on my head or something. So every day I got a shave. I never even heard that. Miático. So you don't got a barber with you?

He too expensive. Mr. Barber's richer, right? He's too expensive. Bryson Tiller. We got to keep finding. We the new record labels. We got to find new young talent. The cheaper.

New young talent, Barba. When your Barba gets to be in the United States, y'all move on to us. I heard Rich Barba has a crib. It's crazy. I heard he got a full-court basketball court. No, he's the richest nigga in the game. Who?

Rich the Barba. I heard he got an upstairs-downstairs basketball court. But he's part of management with Bryson Tiller. Bryson Tiller. That's what I was thinking. And he actually discovered Bryson Tiller. I heard that. And then he got this guy, Life of the Party.

I believe that's his name. Party. No, no, no, no, no. Not that one. Party from upstate New York. Ooh, definitely. You don't know him yet, but he's an L. His album is crazy, so Rich manages him too. So, youork oh he's a he's a you don't know him yet but he's a his album is crazy so rich manages him too so you know he's a good dude what's up big up rich the barber man

you know you family we believe in everybody starting somewhere and moving up to another absolutely who else you want to talk tory lanes he just hit me today oh you got something we got something brewing yeah yeah he hit me today you know he's a leader of the new school yeah he's a young nigga that's spitting that shit that we like to hear. Tori Lane, you're saying? Yes, he is. Yes, big him up, goddammit. Let's make some noise.

I think we should make some noise. So, Fat Joe, how does it feel when you see a new guy, right? Mm-hmm. And this new guy knows your reputation. He knows your hit selection. And you proposition him to do a record. These guys drop the ball. They don't do it.

And then when they don't do it, then they fucked up and then they come back to you. I kill them. How's that conversation? We're killing all these niggas, Nori. Tell me. Right now, this is about legacy. Do you want another shot, Tiger Bone? I think we should just one more. One more. You know, I'm one more visit my mom's

Baby look at the Dominican tiger bone check this out. Yes, that's the million. It's Chinese But it's the way he causes the minute. Oh, yeah, don no. It's Chinese. But the way he pauses is Dominican. Oh, yeah, Paco, don't hit the table no more. Okay, I'm so sorry. I'm going to have to regulate all your guys. My godfather is Dominican. But what I'm saying is, how does it feel... Really? Your godfather is Dominican? Dominican. How does it feel like when you see somebody that you know that you've given them...

Because a lot of people... Yo, right now, fat Joe. Wait, wait, let me finish. Let me finish. Because you know what it is. When we're older in the game and we're talking to new artists, sometimes we're giving them a lane that they don't understand that we're giving them neither. Trying to talk to them. So they just think that we're taking their lane.

So, like, has there ever been somebody who fronted on you and you knew they shitting of and then you got them back? You know, what happens to me is I'm just so blessed that I know how to make music. And I'm just, my shit half is making the hits. The other half is knowing the business. So, you know, I got a mean radio team. I got a mean video team. You know, we self-funded. So I don't have to look at no nigga talking about, yo, did you put the money up for the radio?

I put my own money up. So can't nobody front on me. I go to war with all these niggas because everybody got green. Listen, what I'm saying to you, these niggas, you know what I mean? I make them pay for it. I inflict pain by them continuing to

see me drop top five records in America. They got no choice but to swallow me. You know what I'm saying? These niggas pause. These niggas is over here. No pause, daddy. That must be a new one. Good pause.

No pause. Yo, listen. Yo, what happened? Yo, you're making them a revolt. No pause. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No pause. No pause.

Listen. Yo, listen. So I go like this. The nigga turn around like this. So I just make them pay like that. Because I know no matter what they think, and they like, yo, how this old nigga keep coming up with hits. They got no choice but to respect what I'm doing so you know any nigga that ever fronted on me he fronted on himself that's just the bottom line to me and everybody come and go I know I mean

I don't even know how long I'm gonna be I'll tell you one thing right my album hotter than everybody's album in the game we're gonna get to that too no that's a fact but hold on Joe but was there ever somebody that fronted on you and you was glad to see them fall? The only... No, I never seen nobody fall, but the only nigga that slightly... I'm glad to see him fall?

No, no. I'll be waiting. I'm waiting. Not me. Once you front him, man. I'm waiting. All right, do you want the answer? Yo, give me the answer.

Give me the answer. Where's the Tiger Bowl? Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Let's go. The last nigga and the only nigga... This is the only thing we did the last nigga and only nigga the front like Front it and slowed up the process was future. I was looking for him for a song on that plot out plomo

He kind of ducked me so he kept like, you know, and I'm not you know, I got a lot of Nobody really ducks me. So I got a lot of pride. So I was like, I'm not you know I got a lot of nobody really ducks me so I got a lot of pride so I was like I'm on they get we good but you know we cool you know I'm saying I ain't got no problem with him but it's just you know he kind of like duck me you know I'm saying currently yo I'll do it Joe this you know I got a little dance with him and shit I was that then that's I was like you know then maybe shit changing cuz I asked Kanye West he'd do it I asked everybody else they do it something I maybe shit change maybe I'm falling off or something

The only other person that didn't happen was Ja Rule, right? What? Ja Rule didn't come to the video cuz Leo I ain't come to the video cuz they'll call him but he in front of me Let's get to a Leo Korn story. Let's make some noise for Fat Joe here. Give me your water, Fat Joe. That's water right there. Just in case. Leo Cohen is a... Because he used to play Santa Claus for Russell Simmons. I remember you called me and said,

Nori, I'm bringing the wildest people up there to come fuck with Leo. And they got to give me this Ja Rule claim. wildest people up there to come fuck with Lior and they gotta give me this Ja Rule claim. You know, we gotta respect Lior Cohen as a businessman and all that, but he's one of the

he was one of the slightly attitude wise bad apples in hip hop history. So what happens is that his mentality, whatever his philosophy is, he taught that to Chris Lighty, he taught that

to Irv, he taught that to all these niggas. So when we was having problems with other niggas thinking damn why these niggas acting like that I knew that the shit, not purposely but the shit went back to the root of Leo Cohen. Cause all these niggas acting like that? I knew that the shit, not purposely, but the shit went back to the root of Leo Cohen. Because all these niggas looked up to him. It's like the school of Leo Cohen is what you're saying.

It was the school of Leo Cohen. So anything that we ever thought was foul or a nigga try to do this or try to do that, the whole methodology was brought by Leo Cohen. Now, I personally never had no problem with Leo Cohen in the world. The only problem I ever had with Leo Cohen was Khaled had a record. And I think Trick Daddy was on it. And Trick Daddy was on Atlantic. And Leo Cohen was like, who the fuck is this nigga right here?

Born and raised? No. One of them. Born and raised. Born and raised. And we was shooting the video and all that. And he didn't want to clear him for Khaled. So, you know, we are threatening a couple of niggas up there.

You know what I'm saying? Y'all, I'm going to break your legs when I see you, whatever the case may be. Simple shit. Simple shit. Yeah, simple shit. Joey, he was caught in the crossfire. You know, he was, you know, he's my brother, too. Joey, he's a beautiful person.

But he was in the middle. He didn't feel comfortable. So then Leo, Leo called me up and started talking. Yo, this is crazy. No. He said, listen, Joe, I don't give a fuck. This fuck that nigga Khaled. Because Khaled went crazy on the niggas.

So he's like, fuck Khaled. Who the fuck? Is he a DJ? I ain't claiming shit. Fuck you. Fuck this. He was just going crazy, right? Leo called me. I'll never forget this call, right? But you know, his voice is shit. Fuck you. Fuck this. He was just going crazy, right? Leo, wait hold on.

I'll never forget this call, right? But you know his voice is like, fuck you. No, no, he was going ham. Okay, okay. For about ten minutes. Wow. But ten minutes straight, right? Wow.

And then when he finished, it was a dead silence. And I said, okay. That's how you feel? Mm-hmm. No, Joe, I don't mean nothing. Please, I'll clear it. This, this, this. Yo, the nigga, he called me all type of shit. So I told him, oh, all right, so then you got a whole lap. That's how you feel.

Not a problem. You know, nigga thought about it. He was like, oh, no. Please, I didn't mean it. The guy, the DJ gets me upset. I'll clear it. Don't have this. Because he had to think about it.

You know, I'll tell you when they walk in here, say what you want. You got to see me somewhere, some show, somewhere. So I'm like, all right, my nigga. Yo. Thank God for hip hop, god damn it. Thank God for hip hop. damn it Thank God for hip hop You know

You know I think about that Right I think about that The other day And I just think about Like And I say to myself How fucked up hip hop is

Right Like Because of the streets There's morals to the streets Right If you do something There's consequences That come with it

If you do something to hip hop There's consequences That come with it It's just not the consequences hip-hop, there's consequences that come with it. It's just not the consequences of the streets. So most people won't ever understand or they'll ever get the jast of what's going on. But still to this day, I thank God for fucking hip-hop. As fucked up as it is. As fucked up as it is, I fucking love it.

It changed my life, man. It changed my life. Yo, my nigga, I fucking love it. It changed lives, man. It changed my life. Yo, my nigga, I just left my mother and father's house. Right? And I'm not going to act like it's a mansion or nothing. But growing up, being born in Bronx, Lebanon, in the Bronx, and fucking being in Forest Projects, the last thing we ever thought was we was going to buy houses for our mother and father. So I just left my mother and father's house.

At that, my mother's a little bit sick, so I was there all day with them. So my son came in to hold me down while I was gone. But my son pulls up in the Benz. He jumps out with jewelry on, Rolex on. Then he graduated from college already. This is all hip-hop. You know, I drive off in a Wraith. You know what I'm saying I'm

gonna rape listen to Phil Collins and all that I mean hip-hop some amazing my name is amazing yo it's like yo gave us a chance man that's hip-hop and you know I just bought a house come on He's having a baby. He's having a baby. I'm sure you know me. Just get money. We announced that on the podcast. Congratulations. He's finally having a baby. Yo, Fat Joe, I thought this shit ain't work for a long time. This shit ain't work. Yo, let me ask you a question.

This shit works. This shit works. Ask your questions. So you put Nori on to the podcast game, right? To a degree, yeah. To a degree, yeah. You told him, yo, this could work. Nigga, you get it. It took forever. He wasn't convinced right away. And I did the same thing to, yeah. To a degree, yeah. You told him, yo, this could work, nigga. It took forever.

He wasn't convinced right away. And I did the same thing to Bad Joe. It took like five years. I did the same thing to Bad Joe. Five years. It took six months. My money. My money.

It took a couple years. No, I'm not saying. I'm not saying. I'm saying me. No, he's saying me. Yeah, me. Telling him. Because that's what I'm just saying.

I just want us. The reason why I'm so ecstatic that you're starting a podcast which is Coco Vision exclusively on Tidal is because I want us to speak directly to our fans. Like, again,

whenever we're on Twitter, and I'm not against Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Let me tell you something. Whenever we're on their platforms, we're giving them our audience. But when you're doing your own podcast, that's

your own fucking audience. You run with whatever the fuck you want to say. That's why 444 didn't win anything on the Grammys is because they couldn't give that black man that power of saying, I can drop an album on my own audience and win Grammys. Wow.

This is how I look at it. I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist. But I'm just saying, I'm like, yo, I felt like Hov should have won four out of eight. Right? At least two. But just think about it. If they let Jay-Z win, then that's giving up. I'd have bet he won two at least.

At least. I said two. Okay. At least three. At least three. Right? So the fact that he won none, I feel like that's them sending a message saying, let's send him on the table.

That's a lot of messages. They're sending a message saying... First of all, the Grammys, beautiful event. That's about it. But the Grammys never cared about hip hop. They don't care. They still don't care. Yeah.

So now, hip hop music is the number one most selling music or listener stream music in the whole game. Worldwide. That's why the Grammys had to stream music in the whole game. Worldwide. That's why the Grammys had to pay attention to it this year. Now, on top of that,

you know, so they had all the hip-hop there so they could get the ratings or whatever the case may be. They nominate Jay-Z, but then again,

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 Rinella. 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,

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 hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

when I used to be in the Bronx, he used to hustle. There's no doubt. He used to hustle on Fordham Road. We never knew this. Oh, no, he used to sell drugs. He was selling drugs. Yes, off of Fordham, bro We never knew this Oh no, he used to sell drugs He was selling drugs Yes, off of Off of Fordham, bro

I would've never thought that Yeah, me neither Right? Nah, I know it for a fact I remember who he used to hustle for Too, he's locked up for life But he used to come to Jimmy's Every Friday

And he'd be next to me Before we knew what Reggae Tone was And he'd be like Yo, you are the leader You are the leader You are the leader he wouldn't stop telling me i am the leader right so i'm like yo chip and then you know big pun double platinum

we up in there making movies you in there jimmy you are the leader fat joe you are the leader right so i'm like you know boom so we always showed the nigga love but we didn't understand reggae tone like that but we showed him love because we see him in jimmies every week. And I remember when I first went to Puerto Rico for the first time, the nigga was running with me. You are the leader everywhere around Puerto Rico. Next thing you know, the nigga throw out the gasolina. Mind you, Lean Back is out too. Lean Back's number one, 47 weeks out of 52 weeks.

Like, be clear clear my shit ringing but the gasolina was ringing too right i was so happy for this guy right so i remember i went to one of them reggae tone concerts with me with you yeah with you and i'm sitting there and the nigga sitting in the room right next to us he's standing right in front of me and a nigga acting like he don't see me and he was like and I was like he broke my heart so bad no okay I'm gonna fat Joe finish and then I'm going to answer that question. No, but I got two things. I got two. So he said, you're not the leader.

But he broke my heart. This guy been chasing me for eight years, calling me the leader. Right? So then when he had his song, I wanted to jump up and down and be like, yo, my nigga. And he was like, I broke my... That's the nigga that fronted on me like you told me at the beginning of this whoever fronted on you he fronted on me hard so i was like oh my god i said like this boom so then i walk in the store in the hood maybe like two weeks later and the nigga walks in

while i'm buying some sneakers and he was by himself so the nigga tried to say what's up to me i was like you my man get ahead with that the nigga tried to say what's up to me. I was like, you my man, get ahead with that shit. Nigga tried to say what's up to me. Seen you up. And he was like, okay.

And the nigga got out of there quick. But you know, I couldn't believe it, man. So for years, you know what I'm saying? I ain't really rocked with the nigga. Cause I was like,

yo, I couldn't believe it. He broke my heart. And, um, recently cause of Puerto Rico, we teamed up To help Puerto Rico And everything

You know we all Whatever the case may be But he He did Yeah He switched up on a real nigga So did it come out After Gasolina

I mean after Oye Mi Canto Actually That's a has question Better than me What was your question though First is I believe Gasolina came out

After Oye Mi Canto No No No no no It was fun It was fun The Oye Mi Canto. No, no. No, no, no. He was fine. He was fine. The Oye Mi Canto was already out

and Gasolina was already out because that was my favorite to offer him. My favorite to offer him was I'll do Gasolina. And he couldn't believe

that I knew Gasolina was out. But mind you, I'm connected to Puerto Rico for real. It was out in Puerto Rico but underground. So when I said to him,

yo, look, I do gasoline, he was like, what? You know what gasoline is? And I was like, all right, cool. And I already had the verse because I was really into reggaeton. He hated that I was into reggaeton. I hate reggaeton, too.

Mind you. Hold on, hold on. The two Cubans told me, don't do that. These are the two people, I swear to God They both told me Don't fuck with these niggas

I didn't like it I did not hate Reggaeton But I did not want the underground king He sold more records than me No You're right CNN Nori

Nori sold more records than me He got five Of gold plaids Plat and plat I literally went there When he was about To put the record out And was like Yo and no

Big mistake He was like Joe they're giving me A million dollars They this and that Reggae tone Nigga my shit About to ring off

God does everything for a reason. Yes, you're right. But, you know, I didn't think that was right. But now, it's right. Now it makes no sense. Now it's hot. Now it makes sense. No, no, now you was ahead of your time. No, no, now, I like the Bad Bunny, I like the Finucco,

I like the Osuna. I like them. Now, it's more like my style. The thing I didn't get about reggaeton is how they would use the same beat. I say Murder, She Wrote, Over and Over again. It's would use the same beat. I said Murder She Wrote over and over again. Dembo. It's called Dembo. I called it Murder She Wrote.

Yo, my nigga, I never knew how niggas had 10 years of the same beat. What was the club we went to, Paul? We went to a club in Puerto Rico in 2000. And my boy Echo, you know Echo, one of the biggest producers. What does Echo always say? Echo's a good guy. Echo's a great dude. Echo took me to this spot and he said, this is going to be big

in America. I said, fuck no. And it was big in America. I'm being honest. Then it fell off and then they found themselves. I went to that same spot that Echo brought me to. It was a pyramid. It was a pyramid club. And I believed him. And I said, this it is. And I went to Rumba's. The echo it was a pyramid it was a pyramid club

All I ever did since he passed away was try to preserve him on hip hop and big him up. And try to make him big hip-hop and big him up and try to make him

the best way and then when even like if we want to go there even like i watched his son's last video he shows his father beating up his mom he was he don't even know that kid was like three years old where do we get this info from you understand what i'm saying so we and i'm just like damn my nigga like yo you know the only reason we paying attention is because you is my my brother's son the only reason you know niggas is tuning in is because you are big pun son don't shit on my nigga that's the problem I had with the moms don't shit on my nigga like you know we all got personal problems my nigga everybody got problems in their family we ain't all out here broadcasting that shit you understand

what I'm saying so now a guy like me who's selling you yo let's not ever disrespect Big Pun's legacy I'm the ops do I sound like the ops you know what I'm saying I don't get it you know what I'm saying so the shit you know I vowed to never let niggas get me mad again on

some Big Pun's cause it really used to bother me. It really used to fuck me up because I really love this nigga. I went through depression when this nigga died. You understand what I'm saying? So for niggas talking, they don't even know, B. Like, me and this nigga would have jumped off the roof together. The roof. We'd have killed the whole club together.

200 niggas on CNN. Me and him. 200 niggas. We'd have killed everybody and been on CNN so I don't know what these people are talking about they don't even know what they talking about they getting like 30th down hand information right they don't got real information right you understand what I'm saying so I'm just like all I can say is By the way This is my brother's daughter You know what I mean I'm not gonna really disrespect her I seen that

It bothered me I said yo it's sad You really was too young To really even know Your father like that So I don't know what to tell you How you could be saying Incredible shit like that

You know what I'm saying So it's fucked up It's fucked up And as a person And I'm like you know Cause I can't? So it's fucked up. It's fucked up. And as a person, and I'm like, you know, because I can't really, but as a person looking at it from the outside in,

but that was in. I've never seen, I've never seen pun show you anything other than the most upmost respect, the utmost love, and the utmost, he was happy that you put him on.

Like he was, I don't him on. Like, he was... I don't get it. Like, and I say it all the time. I'm like, not only was he happy, but me and Pun was knuckleheads. Like, we used to avoid Joe because we were doing dumb shit. Like, me and Pun would be doing...

Like, we were younger, so, like... So, we would, like, hide this shit from Joe. You know what I'm saying? You don't hide something from somebody you don't respect. Like a father figure shit from Joe that I'm saying is you don't hide something from somebody You don't respect a father figure You know I'm saying like you look at you that means that was that much respect that both of us had for you like like We wouldn't get high in front of you because I remember you know, I was you know, when I started rapping, you know Don't wanted to rap I had to go to

Amateur night at the Apollo And I Had to battle 100 niggas on stage Mind you I was like a drug lord In the Bronx at the time So it was almost like playing myself Cause niggas respected me so much And to go to the Apollo

And perform there amateur night and win. I won four weeks in a row. That's where I met Red Alert and gave them my demo. I remember going to Ralph McDaniels to give them my music. I used to have to walk 31 flights of stairs up there. So I paid my dues. And now when you flip around and you say, all right, Joe, you in the game. You're the only Spanish nigga winning.

And then you meet another Puerto Rican nigga outside the store who's a million times better than you and you turn around and play the backseat and let this nigga and then this nigga get rich cuz yo let me tell you some you can hear all the poor stories you want as far as Nori know he was rich yes yes yes yes and I've been

thinking myself yes so when I tell you earlier Yo when I die I want y'all to know I'm a die fly Pun die fly Like this nigga had 20 Benz's 20 motorcycles

He had shit He couldn't even use So when I'm sitting there I'm like yo This nigga did it Till the wheels fall off You understand what I'm saying So

You know I'm like damn That nigga did it big But to just off. You understand what I'm saying? So, you know, I'm like, damn, that nigga did it big. But to just let you know that I took my time in this industry to help a guy like Big Pump because I knew Latinos needed him for the culture. To help a guy like DJ Khaled

who's filthy, fucking rich, and I'm waiting for a steak. I'm waiting for a present. Fish sandwich, something. Khaled has transcended. He owe you a fried chicken. He owe you a fish present. Fish sandwich, something. Khaled has translated it. He owe you a fish sandwich. Could he give me something?

Some Junies reggae food? You need a Wraith with a fucking microwave. Bow tie. What can I get? A helicopter. A helicopter. Now we going there. Nothing. So then let's just say A helicopter. No, a helicopter. Now we going there. Now we going there.

Nothing, right? So then let's just say a big pun. I mean, a big pun to DJ Khaled. DJ Khaled employs maybe 100 people. Right. You know, big pun gave birth. He still gave birth to his son and his family. Whoever's making money off this nigga, right?

Then you turn around, you say, Remy Ma. That's the most beautiful thing of your career is when people look at pun and if anybody ever, like, you know, accuse you of doing wrong by pun or doing anything, then they can sit back and they can look at Remy Ma. Now, Remy Ma had all the time in the world, seven semis and eight winners, whatever shit it is, to be mad at you. But she came home and she showed love to you that's that should be

the story how it reads as you cause is because all right cool if that's what y'all think look this is what this is what I do this is in real life in real time and we doing it again. You know, we discovered Kool and Dre. Dre is looking like a star. I seen her somewhere and she was like, what? My new album? And I think she got her deal somewhere. She got millions somewhere. And she's like,

my brother Fat Joe is executive producing it. And I'm like, that's how my brother's story should be reading. That's how it always was, though. Because even when Pump was alive, the unity was out of control with us. So we were so unified. You know what I'm saying? So it went wrong because the wrong people tried to tell a story and mix it up.

Right. But, you know, that's why we big up Q-Relate for going to church. And that's why I'm out. That's right. Yo, that's why we big up. This is the second time I heard you big up Q-Relate. For going to church. I'm telling you. No, no. I'm out. That's right. Listen, tell me. Yo, that's why we big up my head. This is the second time I heard you big up Cuba late. For going to church. I'm telling you.

No, no. I like it, Joe. Because maybe he'll tell the truth now. Right. Maybe he'll finally tell the truth. Can I tell you? No, no, no. If a nigga going to church and a nigga this, it's the best thing to happen to me because

I'm a God-fearing. Let me tell you what. Let me tell you why I say this, you. I'm a God-fearing man. I never go against my God. If he's really converted and he's really in church, tell the truth, my nigga, now. Now you come out and tell the truth. If you want to really be wholesome and you want to be, tell him how I looked out for Pun.

Tell him how I looked out for you. Tell him how I didn't cut your face. Tell the truth now. If you're really a God-fearing guy Give us a breaking news for one And say, you know what? I found the Lord I've seen the vision of Jesus

And guess what? All these years I've been accusing of Joe A shit that was a lie from day one You know, maybe he want to try that method Because you're in church, right? Right Like the malice Malice is crazy

Let me tell you a story. was it the end of Malice? When you had the fallout with Link, he came, you know, Terror Squad, everybody was affiliated

with Khaled and Bugha and the promotion teams and all these guys. And so when the fallout happened and Link was promoting his own project, he came to do it.

What project? His solo. We never heard it. He wasn to do it. What project? His solo. We never heard it. He wasn't signed to us. No, no, no. I never heard from him after he wasn't down with us. He was too. I never heard from him again.

I'm saying he was doing shows. He was pushing something. Yeah. So he came to Florida and he had dates in Florida. And nobody wanted to be his DJ. I mean, this is the way I'm taking it. EFM, you could have got hurt if you DJed for Cuban like that. I did, I did.

For Cuban like that, you got hurt? No, I didn't get hurt. I didn't, I'm going to tell you what happened. Because, damn, we chased him a million times. No, I'm telling you what happened. I'm telling you what happened. Every time I see them, we chase them. They came to me.

Motherfuckers said, they said, nobody's DJing for him in Florida. EFM, will you do it and you said Cuban Afro cube? No problem, I didn't know what the fuck was going on and I'm like, you know what I'm not I'm not scared either Cuz I don't know the situation At that point could have been bad but I'm just telling you that we was high heads man I know I get listen I was around you guys you guys were coming around DJ raw I was there it's not like I didn't know yeah I knew but But it's Cuban shit. No, it's not that it's Cuban shit. I mean, yes, it was kind of Cuban shit.

I'm Cuban too, nigga. Now. I've always been Cuban, nigga. My father Cuban. You want to go meet my fucking father? I wasn't into the album today. I tried to bring him Thanksgiving to my house. Remember I called you so he could meet my father and all my Cuban brothers and sisters?

Yo, I heard his whole album. He was missing his pops. No, nigga, he was something else, man. Same thing here. My father's stubborn, man. Same thing here. Same thing here. Same thing here.

But the point is. Super hard body. There's a point. The point is. You DJ for Cuba. You want to get that off your chest. No, that's not the point, bro. I'm going you, Emmanuel.

Point is, you cleared it up with 50. We would like to see some unity. No, what I'm saying to you is it can't be unity on that level. I respect it. I respect how it goes down. Because the problem is, it's a wound that's so bad. Like, these people try to destroy me. I'm tired of talking about this and saying this story.

You don't have to. So you got a guy who helped these people you got a guy oh the only reason we even know these niggas is cousin me you got a guy who bought a nigga by the way for Cuban League I lost my record label the ten million dollar deal I lost it for him what I said nothing with Atlantic I spent 1.8 million dollars on this project the nigga had pink on his album DM DMX, heavy nigga you name. I was paying the Neptunes for his shit. I bought him a house before I even owned the house.

I bought him an NSX because I couldn't fit in it. Now, I took care of this nigga better than I took care of myself. And for this nigga to go 360, the problem is me and him had a conversation after he got his face cut. And what he told me was, Joe, I know you would never do this to me ever in your life. Would you ever? There's no question. I know you ain't do this. Next thing I know, 50 cent blow up from beef. He stopped telling him cause y'all, this nigga caught me. He thought he was going to blow up off the beef. But you lying, man. You told me yourself that you know we ain't do this to you. Why you went out there fabricating that like that?

So what I'm trying to tell you is I had a tough time trying to explain to people. With the big pun, if I wasn't Fat Joe and I was a nigga in the outside, right? If I was twin and I was on the outside And I see Fat Joe and Big Pun All day together as brothers And this and that And then Big Pun died And Big Pun's wife is now saying

Fat Joe's a piece of shit He ain't taking care of my family I would never like Fat Joe again in my life And wouldn't really know the real story I be sitting out there Yo this nigga's a fuck nigga He shitted on a nigga's family. Do you know how hard it was to get through that time?

To keep making music? To keep people like my relationships with them? Where he'd be like, nah, Joe's a good nigga. Do you know how hard that was through that time for me to be here? Niggas don't know my obstacles. Niggas, at that I had war with the biggest niggas you ever thought of in your life in hip-hop music I had niggas talking about nah don't give him that bread I had a deal with Reebok a sneaker deal with Reebok I'm not gonna tell you who but big boys called up and said we won't do business with

you if you give him that deal that was a two three million dollar deal I was going through all that so when you want to talk about how I'm here, I survived shit that you couldn't even believe in hip-hop music. Like niggas was really like, you know, Steve Rifkin when Pump was alive and I went to him to get a deal, before I let him even, before I even talked to him, and Steve Rifkin, you could bring him on

here and certify this. The nigga pulled me to the side and said yo, listen Joe, um, eight people in the industry called me and said you're an extorter, a drug dealer, a bad guy. They told me not to meet with you, that I'm playing myself if I do anything with you. Then Steve went into my father's a gangster, whatever he wanted to sell to me because they didn't want to sell me everything. So we sat down. You're a big punter.

He signed him on the spot. And that changed my life as an executive where i had a new label deal with big pun but you know niggas been trying to shoot me down in this industry since day one i feel like niggas is trying to shoot me down when i got another exec telling me you're the greatest anr in the world yeah then why you got a job nigga like where's. Like, where's my president of Sony or Interscope or... VMI. Capital or something, my nigga. Like, we don't know what the fuck going on. Who the only nigga putting out hits all day?

Right. Who the nigga got Remy popping when she got number one most out of this? Come on, my nigga. Empire make the right move. Empire make these niggas ain't fronting. Guys, he make the right move. These niggas fronting hard, my nigga. I'm like, you know, they try to act like, you know, oh, like this has happened.

This ain't happened before. Right. And after this year, it's over for niggas. Don't remember what I told you, Bobby. It happened the first time. No. With our first podcast. No.

And it's happening again. It's over. It's over. This year, I'm going to drop three number one records starting with pick it up all three of them gonna go number one You tell me another nigga been in the game 20 plus years.
