Ambrosia for heads. Hip-hop smash. Now, right, Miss Info, Mikey Fresh.

When they were all picking up these videos, we started to say, you know what, maybe we shouldn't record a podcast without it being on video. You know what I'm saying? So we was holding it. People hit me every day about the Styles and Chic interview. And make sure you take out my Rihanna story in this. Remember, I told you to take that out. So do you want to take out the part where you tell them to take it out?

Yeah, no, no, leave that in. Leave that in, but take out the part. So yeah, Styles being Chic, we got to describe this. We went to D-Block Studios.. We went to D-Block Studios. We definitely went to D-Block Studios. I thought I was in Syria. No elevators worked anywhere. No, no, elevators?

What's an elevator at D-Block Studios? They had a Newport section, like just the part to go smoke Newports. Yo, I thought I saw some of Bin Laden running in the background. I think I saw a couple of Bin Ladens, a couple of OJ's homies was there. You know what I'm saying? That shit was, I saw Freddy Krueger in that motherfucker. Oh, Jason. I see Jason as well.

The guy from Halloween. That shit was, no lie. Yeah. That shit was kind of like suspect, that whole building. Yeah, I ain't going to lie. It's a lot. It felt like the old Yonkers Mafia building. It was, yeah.

Like the old Yonkers Mafia said, here's Styles and here's Sheik and here's Kiss. In the concrete. You know what I'm saying? Like the old Youngest mafia said Here's Styles And here's Sheikah And here's Kiss You know what I'm saying Kiss was just out here Out in Miami as well So look For the listeners This is Fridays

And you know We take your requests We've been getting The Beanie Seagull request Shockingly Should we Blow this up Yeah why not

Yeah shockingly We also got a Havoc Yeah From Mobb deep request let's make some noise for that god damn because i'm gonna throw that out i'm gonna throw this out there we're gonna throw this out there there's been very uh uh there's been light rumors before but now there's very strong rumors of a possible queen's tour headlining. That'd be crazy. Drum roll, please. Let's do it. Headlining will be the god MC himself, Nas Escobar.

Another group that's supposed to be on this tour is the legendary Capone and Auriega. And another group alleged to be on this legendary Queens tour is none other than... Stop. Mob motherfucking D! So, guys, if you've been hearing these rumors, the rumors are getting stronger than... stronger than before. I guess I was thinking of something else You hit up Nas

You hit up Mobb Deep You hit up Capone and Noriega as well Tell them you want to see this Queens tour It's in effect until then For the culture Definitely in the winter Early fall We're hearing words of a Norie

And DMX tour I heard about that Cypher Sounds is supposed to be a part of this tour and then we're supposed to hire talent in each state

like you know instead of you know having go to New Orleans and hire Juvenile and go to you know Memphis and get Yo Gotti

and stuff like that so DMX and Nori are supposed to go out on this fall tour but in the winter I don't see why we won't be able to pull over this one more time for the drum roll let's say these Goddy and stuff like that. So DMX and Nori are supposed to go out on this fall tour, but in the winter, I don't see why we won't be able to pull over this. One more time for the drum roll.

Let's say this act one more time. Let's say this act one more time. The legendary Marv Deep. The legendary component Ari Agler. And the God MC

Yeah, we're going to get Havoc. Also, I want to big up Snoop Dogg for not only saying that he wanted to be on the show, but he congratulated us on the episode with Dog Pound. That was monumental, man. That was monumental. Just trying to keep, like, that was my stressed out, my most stressed out. Like I told you, I was upset that my mic broke. Right. But as a fan, as a pure fan of hip-hop, that was gold. The L.A. L.A. question was crazy.

When you brought up the L.A. L.A. question. I had to. The fans really appreciated that. I had to, man. I loved the corrupt answer. He was like, it was all bad. I was like, oh, shit. He was like, nah, nah, nah.

It was all bad. I appreciate that because when you guys have past drama, there's no need to make the past drama that was in the past seem pretty if it was ugly. Y'all are an example though as well. How to move forward. So, yeah. So, these tours,

I want to big them up again. The Vegas episode was crazy. Big up to everybody big enough to Tack Stone and Charlamagne episode. You know what I'm saying? Again, these episodes, so this whole week, we won't be able to promote on Instagram

Yeah, yeah. People, y'all got to stop. Y'all, it's too much, people, y'all got to stop. Y'all, it's too much, man. Y'all want to keep cutting each other off. Like, listen, when you drunk and you talking to your friends, that's what happens. Y'all cut each other off. This is not meant. Listen, if you want to walk the concrete shit, take that shit to somewhere else.

Did you say walking concrete? I don't know what I just said. Walking concrete. If you want the professional shit, like, this is not what you're going to get here. This is drunk talk. This is really sincerely drunk talk between friends, between colleagues.

That's the part where... You know what I'm saying? And look, there was moments where we were in a green on a Vegas episode and it was all in a room. You could feel all the tension.

It was dope. It was dope because it's not supposed to be controlled. And nobody asked to edit anything. Nobody asked to edit anything. That's what's great about this. It was dope. It was dope because it's not supposed to be controlled. And nobody asked to edit anything. Nobody asked to edit anything. That's what's great about this. That's right. And when these people finally came, I didn't say, yo, tell Yeo come by himself

or tell Drew Hill come by himself. Drew Hill was still running around with 1,200 hoes. What are they called? Groupies. I want to say groupies. You know what I'm saying? Fots. You know what I mean? Like whatever they call them nowadays. They still had like bad ones running around following them.

And we had a loud ass pimp talking mad shit in the room. We had a pimp. We had dog power with the gangsta shit. Like this shit was out of control. And the more out of control it was, was the better for the podcast

because guys, you got to always feel like you're a fly on the wall and you're being privileged as a conversation that, and that's it. It's not, you're being privileged to a conversation that you probably would never hear about that's the point of this podcast not to to learn everything and like a great thing is

when we cut them off well then when they go to another show you know let them finish like fat joe um first said the super squirter story on our show. And he finished it just now on ESPN. But the first time he ever said that super squirter story was with me because I'm the one that said about the chicks. So this is dope. So if I cut off a story, it's great. Let these artists continue to live and, you know, go to another format and platform.

It's okay. This is not what you're going to get out of this. It's never going to be perfect. The more you want us to be perfect, the more we're going to be imperfect and rub it in your face. Right's okay. This is not what you're going to get out of this. It's never going to be perfect. The more you want us to be perfect, the more we're going to be imperfect and rub it in your face. And bring them super soakers over here. If we don't make some noise, we're going to make some motherfucking noise.

This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella.

I'll correct my kids now and then. 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.

Those stairs, though. They crazy. Fuck the stairs. People, when you bring them to outside, they think we setting them up when they get to the stairs. It looks like a line-up. It does look like a line. We don't record it.

Now you know why it sounds like how we sound. God damn it. That's what's up. So you're not going to give me the stories of people falling on the stairs? No, because we still got freight elevators. Motherfuckers can take the elevator up too. This is an elevator? What are you talking about? This is a fucking elevator? It's closed. It's closed. Nobody told us. This is seven. Cuz we still got freight elevators motherfuckers could take the elevator up to

I didn't see it at all. Man, it went viral, my nigga. It went viral. This is like right before his album dropped. Yeah, it shows the winter. Right, right. So when is this Lox album? Is it done?

Nah, it ain't done. We got some great songs, though. Y'all are like, I gotta tell you something. Y'all are like the epitome of coming in this shit together and we leaving together. Yes, sir. Why is that? Break that down for us. You want to tell them,

Because we've seen music break people up. We've seen a mighty dollar bill break people up. You know what I mean? When you respect, we represent, we like a gang, baseball team, football team, any kind of team, army, navy, a camaraderie of brothers.

We know what it is to break down a slice in many, many ways. Chicken wings and rice. Yeah, but mad niggas. Mad niggas. More than just three. Yeah, might be six niggas. Because Lox and D-Block is like,

you see me kissing Looch, but what D-Block stands for and Lox living off experience is kind of like the, when you come from the hood and you strive and you know, you together and you come from a fucked up situation, never let money or women break you apart.

Full circle. That's what I mean. It's a better word. And, but it never happened. Is there a reason or? Nah, I love Fuff. Right.

I think Luce love Fuff. Kiss love Fuff. That's big homie. That's big bro. We went through a lot. We went through a lot. Ups and downs. Downs and ups ups He did some shit

That actually He didn't have to do for us Like you know Like A lot of people think When we flip Like this is the funny thing About Let The Locks Go

We had a standard Contract my nigga We had the contract That most of the industry Artists had We didn't have nothing too much different from what other niggas had. But we came from a situation

of like Looch told you, we sold tapes and CDs and tapes in high school. Tapes in high school. We sold things we shouldn't have sold on the block. You know what I'm saying?

Our aspect of how numbers work was different from everybody's. If this is $10 and 10 of them sell, that's $100. You know what I mean? So we need a good percentage off of that. Fuck what we signed. We signed that because we didn't have no other option but the sign After that when you are in the door you supposed to say what can I do because every contract is negotiable What they tell you?

That's what they tell you at the door every contract is negotiable now We small we the locks we hood niggas, but we kind of we like educated is negotiable. Now, we smart. We the locks, we hood niggas, but we kind of, we like educated. We ain't really stupid niggas.

Like, Lucha's in college. We did a semester in college. We trying to, like we went to college too. We went to community. That's just community college. We went to community.

Same shit here. Same shit here, but we had, we had aspects and we had dreams of what we was going here, but we had, we had, we had aspects and we had dreams of what we was gonna do. We had lanes we wanted to move,

so when shit was, when shit that makes sense to us, like, numbers wise, it was just kind of plain for us, like,

fuck that shit, it don't match. like, all the labels, not, the most fun you ever had. Every label. The most fun you ever had

on the label. What label? Yeah. Bad Boy 3. Bad Boy again The most fun you ever had on a label. What label? Yeah. Bad Boy. Bad Boy again. Because y'all went on tour with Bad Boy. I think it was the first time. Yo, Puff was the first time.

Y'all went on tour with Bad Boy. Y'all went on Bad Boy. Puff Daddy and the Family. Puff was the first time. Rough Rider was the most family. It felt the most organic. But Bad Boy was the most fun money. Yeah.

I ain't gonna front me. Y'all was doing that tour. I was like. Man, so we did three world tours. I just wanted a little piece of that money. You did three. Oh, yeah. I just wanted a little piece of me. I was doing that tour I was like. Mad tour. We did three world tours. I just wanted a little piece of that money. I just wanted a little piece of that money.

There was no Instagram but you see these niggas on tour. These niggas is wild. I remember the nigga Puff was like yo all y'all niggas gotta get on this bus.

Me and Kissel I was like kick all these niggas off our bus we gonna buy our own bus. We gave that nigga $30,000 and said yo we gonna ride on our own shit.

Like, you know, because at the time you had to rent your own shit and pay for overdrive and the whole shit. Like, yo, man. Yeah, Puff probably was the first nigga

with yacht parties, man. Word. You know what I mean? Like, yo, not trying to throw him to be... Nah, it was dope. Like, that nigga was all the time.

Like, that's fly shit. You know what I know, you know what's crazy? We did everything with Puff what niggas is doing right now. You did it then. Back then. I mean, Vivo cleats.

I mean, yacht parties. Vivos? I mean, Lambo, Ferraris, white parties. Any liquor you can imagine. Spots you've never been to. Passports. He told us Vivo.

He bought us cases of Vivo Clico. Remember, we did our first summer jam. We had baseball uniforms on. He said, the world's going to love this champagne. Trust me, drink this shit. And we did it. Yo, I don't even know if it's Vivo. I don't even know if that's a definite right.

We know what you're talking about. I just mean that. That brand of shit. We drank at 21. Even the name Stevie. Stevie J. I know the guy that y'all know from all this other shit. No, I know Stevie K.

Yeah, man. Facts, man. Yeah, man. I was a bad boy. We did a lot. I was a sound on sound across Sound on Sound We did a lot Very very very young We can't

Never neglect or not Never think Puff for that Cause if we wasn't with Puff I don't see us doing that To be honest with you We did world class Shit my nigga Very young

You know what was crazy Is cause I think Puff loved us though Because In our own right To be Yonkers niggas From where we was from We was doing world class shit

On our own Like you know what I'm saying Like we We took the bad boy advance And re-dubbed, my nigga. Real talk. Like, niggas took an advance and did all kind of shit. We took an advance and re-dubbed.

You dig what I'm telling you? Like, we re-dubbed. We did right shit. We did legal shit. We did stupid shit. And we did what we read. We did right shit. We did legal shit. We did stupid shit. And we did what we knew. That's what kind of made us like. We always said us three is what we know.

That's why like a lot of niggas came to us like let the loss go. Like we was on Chicago Bulls and it felt like that. We did shit we never did. But the numbers to us was like Wait a minute I love Puff All that But we was

We was young and stupid We was going off of what Street money Should equal out to rat money But that's what I think that's what That's what Like us

We never really cared about sales Anybody talking about the locks Like niggas would say like Yo, y'all got me through 10 years of jail. All the blue poems. That's for sure. Y'all may have sold

way more than us, but I guarantee we have something that y'all don't have. Everywhere we perform at, it's like a cult for some reason. That's my biggest compliment. I'm sorry to cut you off,

but that's my biggest compliment when somebody come up to me and say, yo, sometimes my kid passed away or my mom's passed away and i and i listened to this record that you made sometimes and it got me through it that's my that's my biggest accolade i don't care about the platinum plaque i don't care about my four gold albums when a tell me that like it's like he don't know what he's saying to me. And I always just sit there and listen to him.

And you know, they, they probably like, this nigga Normie just looked at me when I said that. Cause he probably expected me to go, yo, but it's just really like, you hit me in my heart.

Sometimes when you hit me in my heart, I can't move. Real talk. You know what I'm saying? So I'll just look at a nigga, like when a nigga be like, yo, that shit changed my life.

You know, and then they, cause certain niggas will be like, yo, this year, when they get their life. You know, and then they, because certain niggas will be like, oh, this year. And when they get their correct year, they get the correct song, I always be sitting back and I'll be like, this is what I do it for. It's not really about the accolades. For sure. I bought a Navigator.

I bought a red Navigator when you made that. I love my life. That was a shit. That's one of the jokes. How about that? A red Navigator. Yo, my nigga. a shit. That's one of the jokes. How about that? A Red Navigator. Yo, my nigga. We did the wildest shit. There ain't a lot of artists that I can say where I was when I wrote certain songs.

Red Navigator, my nigga. Yo, shit, nigga. Thank you, my brother. My nigga. We just get the Red Navigator. Gooned in that Red Navigator, my nigga. Shit happened in that shit. Out.

In that red down. Like, I told this nigga, like, even before, like, when we first met that nigga, my team, my team pushed keys through the panel. Yo, man, time out. Time out. Come on, my nigga. Time out. Do he know what we was going through at that moment?

Listen, first of all. Like, that's real tough. When I met these niggas, these niggas was like my team. Just so y'all know, that's our demo tape. How the fuck did these niggas get our demo tape? How did they hear it? Your trap phone and your regular phone fucked up. It just looked like it.

When y'all said that to me, I was like these niggas is real hip hop niggas. I forget where I was at. I wanted to question you How did you hear that? We never put that record out commercially That was our shit I was nervous and happy

At the same time I was like wow I just wanted to say something The way I hear y'all speak about Puff It makes me happy for y'all You can tell you grown. Because when you grow, you can see somebody

that did something wrong and then you can find a common ground for y'all to fix it. You know what I'm saying? That's what grown men do. So when I just sit back, and I even call Styles,

because I was this close, man. You remember, I was this close. Puff was on me for my show. He was like, that nigga was calling me. It felt good to have puff call you you know I'm saying like I don't give a fuck who you are like this is puff call you stop whatever the fuck you don't yeah you know I'm saying saying? For sure He gave me some real advice I ain't gonna share it here

But for me to hear y'all Just talk like that It's just letting me know that You know what I'm saying? The growth I'm so happy in the growth Because I see y'all niggas From the beginning

Yeah man You know what I'm saying? I'm glad The crazy shit is Juice Bar Like we didn't get cool through hip hop We got cool through being in the Juice Bar. For sure. That's the crazy shit.

A lot of people would think. And Giant and all them. And Giant, yeah. I mean, you know, Giant came later. But I used to see these niggas in the Juice Bar on Madison Avenue when there was still a weed spot. In Harlem. Yeah, in Harlem. We was still a weed spot.

For sure. I'll tell you a funny shit about Tyga Bone and shit. I didn't know Tyga Bone was illegal at the time, right? So I went there one day, I bought some weed, but I bought Tiger too. So I walks out

the weed spot, police pull me over. You know, I got the shit in my balls. This is old school New York. I got the shit in my balls. So they searched me. They're like,

yo, what you, what you, what you went in there for? I was like, to get Tiger Bone because I wasn't going to say I was going to get weed. Them niggas rushed the fucking weed spot, right?

So the next day, I go to the spot, I'm like, yo, what happened? The police rushed in. He's like, some dickhead nigga told us he was drinking tiger bone. I was like, that was me! I was like, that was me! I was like, that was me! You know what?

Because you remember back in the days, they used to have the bone in the shit. Like, back in the days, they had the bone. But I thought that was a, you know, a gimmick. I didn't know that shit was supposed to be real tiger. That shit don't have tiger no more. I don't think it does, but real vegans won't touch tiger bone. They'll drink boned. What does it have now?

Does anybody know what Tiger Bone has now? It's Tiger Bone, my dude. I mean, I did the research because we drank it. And I seen a Chinese video where they're killing the tigers. If you get real Tiger Bone. Come a little closer. Come a little closer. If you get real Tiger Bone.

Real Tiger Bone had toast. It's Tiger Bone, my dude. No way to tell you. We've been, like, be it. Like, no way to tell you. Like, our bomb comes from Madison. Like, you know what I mean? And a few other dudes, like Like our Our bomb comes from Madison Like you know what I mean And a few other dudes Like

But our bomb comes from Madison Like Like we We fuck with Nori Because Nori and them Was fucking up security When we was fucking up security That is a fact

Like no Like no bullshit Like So it ain't too many people Who could say in In music like We was I mean not that That's not even That that's because that's nothing to brag about

I don't talk about it or boost about it But it is Because that's like Throw that out there though Yeah I gotta throw that out there Throw that out there That's nothing to brag about I just mean in the golden era Throw it out there anyway

In the golden era that kind of meant a lot like in the early 90s It meant a lot If you was rapping A certain way And you went And you went somewhere And you held it down That's a fact So Even through rap Me and Nori

Didn't really We didn't really bump Like that Not that it was beef We just did But through the juice bar I would see Nori Weed spot

Chronic I'm gonna be honest I'm gonna be be honest, yo. I'm going to be honest. Hip-hop saved all of our lives. For sure. Vegetables really saved your life, my nigga. For me.

Like, you a different... Like, yo, my nigga. Now, listen. When I first... No, Ben from TV said... Like, Styles used to come around and just smoke right in front of you. She was the hardest shit in the world. You just roll your weed and just... He, he passing it to you, my nigga. No, I did.

I was getting busy. You was getting busy? I was getting busy that night. We definitely did a lot of work tonight. Worked together that night, for sure. But he saved my life that night. But on many other nights, he saved my life. Like, you know what I mean?

So you got to be, after a while, it's really not worth it. You got to say, if what I'm doing is worth it or not worth it. And I kind of always had Sheik and Kiss to tell me, like, yo, you bugging. Chill. Family members. Other D-Block members. Like, you know Other Lox members No yes men

I swear to God, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Remember Eve's old manager Say yo Get with us I'm telling you You need to get with us On this idea we got And we never did And he We never did It's the same Wait time out Is Eve a part of Uber? Troy owned the fucking

Uber He owned Troy called him I swear to God That's hard We can clap for you Yeah yeah no Yo

And he told us like Yo I was like I don't know That was a very long time ago Yo Time out That was a very long time ago Yo That was a very long time ago But he damn sure came to us

Saying I had this idea About this shit And I really want y'all involved He damn sure did it And we thought Like why Anybody can rent a car They got

They got blah blah blah Like you know whatever And we didn't move on This idea about And then you know Like an ass What do you got I ain't gonna lie

Nigga I heard Shaq Tell a story about Nigga with Working set of coffee He wanted to Some guy wanted to Build a coffee shop Before it became Starbucks

Nigga so Listen man It's It happens That's hard to see Is that your stream Like Nah

Castle doors Nah I'm gonna keep it 100 That shit might have been The one I'm gonna keep it 110 Okay

I remember in school Huh In 6th grade Nah, I'm going to keep it 100. My shit might have been a 1. I'm going to keep it 110. Okay. I remember in school, in 6th grade. I won. I remember. I had to win. 6th, 7th grade. It ain't a good thing that I won, but nah. But I remember in 6th and 7th grade, they saying, computers will be the new way of the world. And I thought that shit was a joke.

And instead of being a joke. And instead of being a nerd, you took the street route. I took the street route, my nigga. That was my I think, to this day, I think that haunts me. This nigga said, I want to rent these cabs with y'all. Yeah, bro.

You know what it is, Lil' G? You know what it is, Lil' G? I ain't gonna lie. At that time, though, at that time, we was doing a lot of shit. Yeah,

no, we, and, and, and it was like, 10, 12, 13 years later.

That's like the big short. Right. You know, like, you gotta see years down the line. Okay, so how about artists? Like, what, like, have you ever had an artist come to you?

Go ahead. Troy Carter that he was just talking about was my manager. Troy Carter was my manager and my man. This is somebody, he's going all with Eve. He's doing great shit. He's doing beautiful shit. He's my actual manager. I'm so gangster and so hood, but

me and him, Troy's cool. I got beef with Interscope, but he got Eve. I got beef. And before I want to really involve him with the beef, I'd rather not be with him. I could've stuck

with Troy and been part of Uber like Lu's just telling you and all that. Cause Troy used to call me every day with brilliant shit to do. Like way far beyond shit to do. So you can't, it's a time in your life

where just say if you would've caught Rihanna, right? It wasn't like she was gonna to sign to me or nothing. I would have been the first nigga to get Rihanna. This is how I take all this. Like even boom. Like I can honestly say if I would have did the Uber thing with Troy, right? Seen it from then.

Got the money at that time. Something definitely bad would have happened to me. It wouldn't have panned out the same. It wouldn't have panned out the same. It wouldn't have panned out right, my nigga. What, if, I don't understand. Nah, if I would have got the money, like, at that particular time where I was at in life. Oh, in life, okay, I get it. In life, the space

where my mind was at, my heart, my soul, my body, people I was with, what I was into, what I was doing, who, like, everything wouldn't have just worked out right. I would have just got the money, and I would have blew it. I would have died. I would have got killed.

I would have went to jail. I would have fucked it up. I would have fucked up more people's lives than I should have. Something of that nature. So I never really at that time eat it like that. I'm not going to lie to y'all. I thought y'all was going to say, like, going to say You had an opportunity to sign such and such Y'all niggas

Could have owned Uber That's crazy Did he get involved She might have new shit that we didn't know She might have pieces She's got a billionaire husband He probably invested that shit I remember he came to us

Like y'all got this idea, this and that. We should've done it. But it sounded insane at the time. Yeah, because why can't you just get a limo? Maybe you could've done it. Maybe you could've did both.

Because, listen, let me tell you. You know what it is? When your mind's standing right and you get a certain amount of money, I don't care what nobody say. Your mind got to be right or you need a strong... I might have been alright because I had loose.

You don't see it. You got loose kids, my family and all that. But sometimes if your mind ain't right and you get that money, it ain't right, my nigga. Everybody always act like they had that vision. All money ain't coming. Everybody had that vision. Like everybody, I would have been, I would have, no you wouldn't. How many times they probably got turned down.

Yeah, exactly. Come on, man. Looch, you was in the, this nigga went to college for engineering. I would have been the only know you Exactly come on man Loot you was in With the college for engineering well, that's it with a sound We we in high school This nigga This nigga and Kiss Wanted to go to school For broadcasting Engineering

Producing Fucking with rails Come on my nigga Like be This is This is before Anybody thought about Any of this shit

Like so before we get to that point Imagine if we would've been The producers The engineers The niggas to fuck with the rails any of this shit. Like, so before we get to that point, imagine if we would've been the producers, the engineers, the niggas that fuck with the rails, the broadcasters, the radio announcers. They went to,

they plans from early was like, this is what I'm saying, my nigga. So like, you get to that point, I get to this point. Like I told you, like I was like, wow. How professional are these two niggas? Like,

like, wow, like there's everybody in the town. Right. And I'm talking about, I know X, I know Mary,

I know Sporty Thieves, I know Universal, Khalif Kool, God bless the town. Why are those Sporty Thieves in Harlem? Like, you know.

They from Yonkers? Yeah, yes they are. All sort of people. Right. I'm talking about that young, these dudes, broadcasting, engineering, They from Yardless? Yeah, yes they are. All sort of people. I'm talking about a young. These dudes, broadcasting, engineering, producing.

Let's go to school for that. Imagine if we would have finished school for that. Before niggas even thought about it, they thought about it. I'm talking about when niggas used to meet up in the hood to battle. Street rap. Killing it talking about when niggas used to meet up in the hood to battle. Yeah. Street rap. What? Killing it. Murdering niggas.

And you were thinking about broadcasting. School. Wow. Laying shit. Time versus hooks. Studio-wise. Different producers. I remember telling him when he was in jail, when you come home, you're never going to have to record a Sony, write tracks, none of these fucking places again. you're never gonna have to record a Sony write tracks

none of these fucking places again word I'ma buy a studio that was our way of thinking I came home from jail like what the fuck with one of these two guys like what

like like you know what I mean like you're gonna keep every budget cause you get you live it after y'all had a deal no this is before

we had a deal oh this is before this is before we was on bad boy all of our is before you had a deal. This is before we was on Bad Boy or Rough Riders. He went in when I Get High started. That shit went platinum. Like, you know what I'm saying? He was in jail doing that sound. But then he came on, I was like, nigga, we're never going to...

No, but when I went to jail before that... Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. No, no, he's on it. He's on it. 100%. You got to lay. Man. This is how we're going to do it.

We're going to get a budget. We're going to use this producer, that producer. We're going to do, like, I'm talking real professional shit. When we kids, when we kids, my nigga, like, we ain't grown men. We don't got nobody. And this is before D&Y. This is how him and Kiss was thinking. Like, you know They I'm from the

Other side of town I mean It's a It's a large circuit But it's a small circuit Of who's nice Like you know what I mean And then the schools

And And then This and that I'm like wow Look at these Like these niggas It's crazy I meet them

They on that shit But they They like a notch above everybody else. And Yonkers. Facts. That nigga was always David Stiles. Yes, sir. Dave.

David Stiles. Yeah, word. Dave. Not even Dave. Dave, Dave. So what's the one producer you would love to work with? Like, that you never worked with

and you would love to just with. Like, that you never worked with, and you would love to just get it in one time. It's hard for me to say that. I love music. For me, it would probably be Dre. I never got with Dr. Dre. Yeah, me too. Honestly, because I don't work with everybody from, you name it.

Dre, I never really got one of them big records from. You know, knowing his history and everything. You probably done did mad shit with you and Chris. I think I got That's What It Is with Eve with Dre. I'm talking about like, you know, y'all get this new album, and y'all come up with that record for you. How you did, you know, Ghost Shell, these shippers, like whatever, you know what I mean?

I ain't got that with Dre. I ain't got that with Drake. I ain't got that with Drake. That record. I did, I do have a couple, I do have some good studio experiences with him. Yeah, exactly.

I have the Eve joint with him. Right. But I don't have that with him. That joint. But more than anything, I think what makes us, us, like for me personally,

is if it's ill. Right.

goes to me, yo, I'm going to take you to this spot. It was a car wash but they sold barbecue salmon there. Loft it. And he's like, yo, I'm going to take you out. He brought me to this club and everybody embraced me. But these are what

people call quote unquote weirdos. Right? And I'm in LA. I'd rather be with the weirdos anyway. You know what I'm saying? Because you don't know what you're getting out there. You know what I'm saying? So I'm in LA I'd rather be with the weirdos anyway you know what I'm saying because you don't know what you're getting out there you know what I'm saying so I'm there and everybody embraced me and smoked weed

and was grabbing me weed and I don't know how did I get there and I felt comfortable there like was Alchemist the first person to show you that other crowd that we cool in that crowd?

I can't say Al because... I think it was Alchemist for me. I can't say Al. I'ma honestly have to say to be 100% it was Luchicus.

Yo, nah, I ain't gonna front. Was y'all beefing with Beans at that time or nah? It was over. Was State Property 2? Because I remember niggas kept saying that. Niggas kept saying, yo, niggas said that Locke's gonna come do it. And I was like, I'm good. If they said that, then we probably was good.

I think y'all was good. What the fuck y'all shot at that? I don't know. Buena Vista. No rosé? Buena Vista, a couple other places. What's a rosé, sir? I gotta take a leak first.

It's been very informative. It's been very informative, man. I did not know the locks could own Uber. The locks owned Uber. The locks could own Uber. From 2.5. That was like 15 years ago. That's what makes it even crazier. Yeah, that's what makes it even crazier. We could have did a lot of

shit. That's great. We got a light, though. Did I take your light? I ain't got a lot, though. I would have went to jail because I would have put work in the Uber. I got to be a man about that. I'd have put work in the Uber I got to be a man about that I would have put work In the Uber definitely Nah

Stop Nah at that time I would have put work In the Uber for sure See Everything it meant to be Oh yeah I could see that

Everybody's always said that About me You know what I mean So I would imagine That's what you would have done At that time Work in the Uber Mass distribution

You know what I mean Work in the Uber So How did you How did you Think about Mass distribution You know what I mean Working at Uberdome So How did you How did you think about When you got to the Juice Bar game

How did that happen Well As you said As you remember what it was Around that area at the time Right Just keep being on the road Doing a lot of shows

Doing hood shit Right Catching cases Not eating right Not sleeping Partying a lot Always getting into shit I started feeling like

I needed some kind of balance Something that was gonna You know revive me Or do something good for me So I started looking for good things to implement in my life. So then I would hit the juice bar. Start juicing. Then the more I start juicing

the less I start fucking with other shit. And then I don't know. It's like the change just happened. Overnight. Do you remember the one thing that made you be like, this is what I gotta do?

Yeah. Go ahead. It was a couple things. It was somebody I had a problem with, like, in real life. In real life. And I said, like,

you know when you wanna get somebody real bad and you never have the opportunity to catch them? Mm-hmm and you never have the opportunity to catch them? Then I had the opportunity to catch them. It was a rainy night. I'll never forget it. It was a rainy night.

And I was parked somewhere and nobody was there. I'm sitting in my car. I'm just chilling. I actually was making a rhyme. I was sitting there smoking, beat playing. I felt something hit my bumper. And I looked and it was actually the person that I was looking for. By mistake or on purpose? Rainy night, like they couldn't do what was my car. Rainy night, parking lot, boom. I got out, and I was strapped that night.

Like, this was my real ignorant days. I was strapped. I was really, I mean, I was good. And it was like the green light hit me, like, and then I was like, slide, dog. And I'll never forget, I was like, slide, dog. And I'll never forget, I was like, slide, dog. He was like, yo, my bad, my bad. I was like, yo, slide, dog. Like, leave, just leave, like my nigga. Like, all that.

Then I sat in my car. It was like something I wanted for a long time, too. Like, I wanted, oh, man, you don't even know, dog. And then I teared and everything. I sat in my car, I teared because I wanted him, but I let him slide. But I knew it was the better thing to do, and then it hit me. Like, why did it, you know what I mean? Then I knew it was the better thing to do, and that day, in that particular time, like,

my whole shit was like, ride, my nigga, like, ride. Like, it don't matter what, who it is, the time, if they're against you, ride. Like, you know what who it is the time they against you ride like you know what I mean like do what you gotta do cause they gonna do it to you but at that particular time I knew

I knew he didn't have it I knew everything was perfect for me like you know it was raining I was I was on my son's suit shit it was raining

nobody was in the window it was dark everything like and this was dark. Everything like, and it was just like a gift basket. Then it hit me like, that ain't for me no more. Like, you know what I mean?

That ain't for me no more. I could be a little bit better and could do different shit. And then I realized it probably was what I was headed for in life. You know what I mean? And there was nobody with me

and nobody, you know, because I'm And there was nobody with me and nobody, you know, because I'm a firm believer in, like, I believe, no disrespect to nobody, not Bloods, not Crips, not MS-13s, not no gangs, no matter where you're from. I'm not a firm believer if you need a bunch of niggas to ride in you. I don't believe you. To me, you're not, like, no disrespect to no gang need us on everything. But if

you need a bunch of niggas to ride, I don't believe in your G. Like me personally, I always believe if you can't do it alone, and you don't, if you need a set and you only live with niggas, then I don't, like your shit is not with me. I don't care who you are. I don't care. DVDs,

videos, documentaries, rapper, shit is not with me I don't care who you are I don't care DVDs videos documentaries rapper non-rapper street dude that like for me just personally just personally that's just like that's a real personal thing with me right so when I hit that level between like with myself like like really alone by myself like my nigga what are you doing Like you know what I mean What's the end game Like you know what I mean You know you're a gangster

But you know you're a gentleman What's the end game if you go all over Gangsta with it And it didn't make sense to me You know what I mean That was the day I woke up and I said You know what I can push you forward the day I woke up and I said, you know what? I can push you forward every day. I'll tell you the day when I started always going to the juice bar.

We was on Madison Avenue. Again, that juice bar. Crossed from, was it? Not One Fish, Two Fish. It was Tasted Seafood. Tasted Seafood, right next door to it. Tasted Seafood, right? One, two, fifth between Park and Madison. Yep. Harlem. Harlem. Tasted Seafood Tasted Seafood Right next door to me Tasted Seafood Right 125th between

Park and Madison Harlem Harlem So I'm there one day And it was raining It's crazy That you said that It was raining

So usually I just go And I leave But for this time I parked And I just stood there And I see the old man Walk in

And he see Naj. And the way he hugged Naj was like, I never seen a man, a grown-ass man, think another person in this manner. This wasn't no homo shit. He just grabbed it, nigga, and was like, thank you, thank you. And then tears started to come out so i'm sitting back like and i'm predominantly not a nosy person like but who's nige nige that's that's my part yes in the juice in the juice bar yeah my bad i should have said nige so, when he hugged Nigel,

I think I was about to leave and I was like, nah, I'm definitely not leaving now. So, I waited, you know, because that was a personal moment. You know what I'm saying? So, I waited. I waited. And I was like, yo, homes, what's up? Like, what happened? Like, not interrupting your

business or getting involved That nigga said yo I couldn't get hard For six years It's funny but it really wasn't the way he was telling me He was like Nigga I told my wife To fuck other men Because he couldn't get it up.

Like he, so when he said that, I was, I was, because I ain't never had that problem. I ain't never been able to get hard, but I'm 38. What happens when I'm his age?

I don't know. So I'm looking at this nigga like, he's like, I told my wife to fuck other men and she wouldn't do it. But I felt less of a man because I couldn I told my wife to fuck other men. She wouldn't do it. But I felt less of a man because I couldn't give my wife. I came here.

Nigel picked me up. I don't know what the nigga Nigel gave her. But he was knocking it down. This nigga's back knocking it down. This is a 72-year-old man. This nigga got. But you wouldn't tell is a 72-year-old man. This nigga got... But you can tell he's 72. He's a young 72.

He ain't no walking with a cane 72, you know? And when I looked at it, and that's the first time I actually understood what a juice bar was. Like, this is your local doctor. Most people can't afford to go and get your... You know what I'm saying? You gotta be your local doctor. Most people can't afford to go and get your, you know what I'm saying? You know, you got to be your local doctor. Yes, that's right.

You got to have a juice for him. You got to have a blender and a juice in your crib. In your crib. And you got to say, yo, I'm going to do this for the family. Because a lot of things we do and a lot of things we get caught up in is because of the lifestyle we live. Right. Like, you know, like, I go everywhere now, like, and I go in peace and I feel in peace. And I go, and I don't worry about who thinks I'm gangster, who don't think I'm gangster.

I'm not even, that's not even on my radar. Like, you know what I'm saying? If it happened, my G, I'm going to act accordingly to however I have to act accordingly To make it make sense for me Like you know what I'm saying But We live our life like that And then When you live your whole life like that

When you get trained Like we train basically We come from a hood We come from certain areas We train Yeah you get trained Like when you're young They tell you don't tattletale

You come up slapboxing. Manhunt. Cops rob us. That's why kids is fucked up now. They stop slapboxing. They're going to bring slapboxing back.

You was trained with all this and this was implemented in you and you might not have got why. But it was given to you for a certain reason. So when you don't have that, you know, you think a certain way. But when you do have that, you might think a certain way for a long time. Like, you know what I mean?

You might say, I'm stuck in this world and I might not jump into the other world. You kind of got to balance out your worlds, man. Juice up, eat right, work out, come in peace. Don't worry about what the other gangsters and the other niggas and whatever, whoever's on the scene is thinking.

Live your life. Just come in and say, yo, I'm living my life. Like, if I come to a lion's den or a wolf's den, I'm a lion and I'm a wolf. But if I ain't eating your food and I'm just passing behind mine and my business, or if I do eat my food

and I'm going to say, yo, I'm going to drop my little money, eat my food, or I'm going to step out of the lane. If this is your territory, I'm going to respect it,

Norby. If this is, you know, his territory, I got to respect it. If it's him, him, him. Right. If it's mine, like, I want you

to respect it. Right. You don't got to come in I want you to respect it. Right. You don't got to come in there. That's what we do as gangsters a lot. We bring ego and pride, which fuck us up. I think the juice life, the health life...

It's level, spelled back. It's level. Yeah, it's level. You got to balance it. Yeah, balance it out. Balance it. You ain't got to worry about that. Like, if you're just eating right,

juicing up, worrying about him doing the same, him doing the same, him doing the same, him doing the same, him doing the same, the whole room, when you get somewhere, you ain't really got a problem if you say to me, ha-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, as long as you didn't say suck my dick and you wasn't within arm's distance, we came in peace, we're going to leave in peace. We're going to find a logical way to try to work it out. If he's an animal, we're going to over-animal him.

Then leave. If we're going to go to jail by over-animal him, we ain't going to do that. We're going to let him win for the night and leave. Because we ain't going to jail because we ain't going to miss the kids. Because once we miss the kids, they ain't going to juice up and eat right

and do the same thing for the next generation we get caught up in egotistical shit and pride shit which makes us like I'm an animal personally by myself but I'd rather be about peace I don't got no problems in you

I don't want no problems dog I truly don't I no problems in you. I don't want no problems, dog. Like, I truly don't. Like, I don't want no. I want to come here in peace. I want to leave in peace. I want to get out of here like I came. Flavors.

Came in flavors. I'm leaving flavors. The first person to drop the mic on the podcast, let's goddamn make some noise for you. That had a jam on here. That was hard. I had a jam. It was hip hop how you dropped the mic. The mic got dropped hip hop style.

It's okay. But, you know, that's where I come from right now. I just want the little niggas to live before they get clapped. That's very true. That's real shit about it though. Nah, that's very shit. That crazy hard you're going to get clapped or go to jail. That's very true. It ain't really too much in-bet Nah, that's very shit. That crazy hard, you're going to get clapped or go to jail. That's very true.

It ain't really too much in-betweens between that. Or you got to keep clapping, nigga. So I heard you say you bringing the juice to Brooklyn. Is there? Yeah. Okay. Let's talk about that. Let's pick that up.

He was like cause I smoke dope so I said alright cool I don't know why I did that just now I didn't do that then but he said I smoke dope so I thought about it I said

everybody smoke dope and he said no Norby dope. So I thought about it. I said, everybody smoked dope. And he said, no, Norby. I smoked heroin. I thought he made a bud. He said, I smoked heroin. And I said,

I wanted to say, nobody gives a fuck. You're a vegan, you're straight you meditate, you do yoga I don't know a black person who doesn't, if you're older don't love Run DMC if you're a little younger, don't love

Jay Z or anybody, everybody loves Russell just do it but he thought back then that if he smoked heroin, but now if you look at Trump's campaign, Trump don't give a fuck.

Like, they're asking him, yo, you know the KKK support you. He's like, who the fuck of that? That nigga actually sent some shit like that. Who that? And he kept it moving. I'm like, yo, this is perfect for a hip-hop nigga. Like, Russell and Kanye should run together.
