So you produced this on this as well? Nah, I got my first taste of production on there. I really didn't know how to produce at that time. Right. So I just did like, you know, one or two songs on there. Yeah, because you went into art and design, so that means you're very smart. Not smart, but artistic. Let's make some noise for this nigga.

Art and design is a prestigious school. That's a prestigious school, my brother. I'm from the town. I know what this is. So when did you start producing? Like, what happened? Back when a producer asked me for, we asked for a beat from a known producer. RZA?

Oh, yeah, definitely. He told you to keep making your own beats. Like, fuck him. Yeah, he inspired me, too. He was like, no, no, no, go ahead, make your own shit. And then I was like, all right, fuck it.

So now, you don't know how much I respect that because this room will need to be the rest. And I feel like me, you, Nas, Mobb Deep, Capone, and Noriega, I feel like that's something that we should do because we're not like fake friends. Like, I really know you. You really know me.

I really know Prodigy. Prodigy really know me. You really know Kiem. Right. Like, I know him and P-Shit, but listen, Capone is not going to do nothing. Not like I'm the boss of Capone, but that's over. Like, Prodigy,

let's put that shit to the side and let's start over, man. But even Pone, he was respectful about it. Even Pone said it. He said he just wanted to talk about it. And listen, he just wanted to confront the situation.

He just wanted to pay attention because if we said any more deep slander, you wouldn't have came here and you would have known about it. There's no more deep slander. And we talk to a million people back. And any time, you know what I'm saying, I see you on one of our boy ones. Right, right, right.

You have me saying shit. I always take it in a playful manner. I'm playing. Like, I am. See, here's the deal. Let me just get you to the point. Prodigy was my man. Like, me and you hung out a whole lot But me and P

Just you know when I found out His left rack ties I kind of took a liking to him And you know what I mean And me and P hung out so much So the book threw me off I'm going to be honest this is me I didn't read the book

I know High five I never seen you big up the book or nothing like that But we'll get to that later right So the book. I know. High five. Crazy. I've never seen you big up the book or nothing like that. But we'll get to that later, right? So, the book comes out. I kind of took it as just a little disrespect because I felt like I would never speak about that situation. I never made

records about that situation. You talking about the shooting? Yeah, the shooting. Yes, yes, yes. I didn't shoot at you half. You know what I'm saying? Like, that day, I shot around you. Did you know I shot at you that day? I was in the studio. I was in the studio. No, you was there.

I was there. Big up to Norian. That was the second shoot. That was the second shoot. But what I'm saying is I never No, no, I purposely would never shoot at Havoc or Prodigy.

That's my word. But I was shooting at other niggas. They jumped me. At the Q Club. They jumped me. But I never spoke about it. I never got money off of it. So for him to put it in a book, it kind of, and at the end of the day, if you throw my

name in the air, you, the thing about it is, it's going to go up, but you got to, you can't control where it lands. You might throw it up and just want to catch it. At that time, I was sitting back. I was like, nah, I'm not letting this go. And I'm going to tell my side of the story.

Do you think I took it too far when I was going at him? Going at who? Prodigy. I mean, you're your own man. You got to do what you got to do. I like your answer. God damn it. Havoc is on the offside.

Havoc is on the offside. Havoc is on the offside. He's officially drink champ. You want to smoke a blunt now? I'm going to smoke a blunt. Not yet. I'm going to smoke a blunt. Want some heroin?

But nah, but you know when all that shit was going down and all that crazy shit, it's like, come on, man. That shit was like, what, 20 years ago on man that shit was like what 20 years ago yeah definitely man definitely and I would never wanted to disrespect people like you know Karate Joe you know yeah that's why I never made a rap about that I remember that was brought up in the public the book yeah that's the first time and I'm gonna keep it real I spoke to P and P said um yo I got you in the book, but it was no disrespect. So I was like, all right, cool.

So I'm looking forward to this shit. Then the shit hits me from the background, and I'm like, damn. So if you use my name, I got a choice to like it or not like it. I didn't like it. So I had a choice, and I responded the way I did. But it was all in jokes. It was all in fun. And I'm glad that you came here.

I'm glad you, because you know what? Out of us, Capone and Noriega and Mobb D, I'm going to give you be the bravest one to come through and step forward and put this rumor to a motherfucking rest. Because you could have been any place in the world tonight. Of course. But you chose to the world tonight. Of course. But you chose to be here tonight.

And I got there first to the studio. P came second.

He had just bought a new car Tahoe or something like that And then he let the rest of them Go get some trees And then maybe a half an hour later Or an hour later We found out that Some of the crew got into a car accident And two of them died

I know that you're talking about Twin, God bless the dead Twin. Godfather was driving. Yeah, he was driving. So what session was that? What music was that? So we did Godfather Part 3? We was doing Hell on Earth.

We was doing the Hell on Earth album. Wow. And so that's the most memorable session that I ever had. That's not good memorable. Nah, I mean, but it's memorable. Right, right, right. Prodigy had a warrant and the police was calling his phone. He was like, yo, should I answer now?

I was like, nigga, man, because Godfather already called us and said, yo, man, niggas is hurt. Niggas is hurt. Then the police is calling next. Now, I hear it. Godfather was, like, the only one, was like the only one who had no cuts, nothing, and everybody else. It's always the drivers that always be the one

that don't really obtain any injuries. Right. But two people died and two others were critically injured, but they lived. And did I hear

that rumor correct? Like they hit a cone? Was it a cone? You know when you're on the West Side Highway Yeah, West Side And you're driving uptown And you're getting off of 125th Street

125th They got that little divider That's like only this big Right You know what I mean? So if you miss your exit But you're trying to get back on And you're doing 70 miles per hour

And another memorable moment. A good one. Let's get a positive one. No, no. You took us mad sad right there. I hate to give you one. No, but another memorable one was when we was working on Murder Music. And we was in Electric Lady right there on West 8th

He fucking brought Prince in the studio. Now, I'm about this. Now, Electric Lady, remember, this is Jimi Hendrix. Now, I'm about this tour. Now, Electric Lady, remember, this is Jimi Hendrix.

Maybe platforms. So I was making a beat. And then I was like, holy shit, Prince. Did you play your beat? Wait, he just hung out at that point? Yeah, I was like, yo, is there anything I need to do to the beat? He was like, hold on. That nigga got on the keyboard and he started, I swear to God. He's on a record, though?

What record is this? It's called Thou Shalt Not Kill. Listen to it. Oh, my God. Let's make some noise for this. But no credits to Prince on this. No credits to Prince.

He probably walked away and said, don't give me credit. So when did he play the keys? The nigga walked down and didn't even say bye. How about that? Fuck the credit. He was like. Poof.

Oh, my God. Purple smoke. Oh, my God. I'm like, no way. Purple smoke. Yo, because producers live the illest life. Like, producers live the illest life. Let's just keep it real.

that laid your vocals, laid their vocals on one of your beats? Lil' Kim and Foxy. Together? No, no, no. They weren't together. I'm about to say,

nigga, where this record at? Nah, but I saw them each time, you know what I'm saying? Like, when I was working with Foxy, I seen her lay her vocals

and then I seen Lil' Kim lay hers. So, it was kind of dope. Now we did LA LA right? Yeah. Now we did that together. Yeah we did. But they only went at y'all. Was y'all ever mad at us for that? Like why the fuck Park A say come on? That record was originally a Mobb Deep record right? No it was their record. It is our record. The original white label said Mobb Deep record, right? No, it was originally for Stretch. It is our record. The original white label said Mobb Deep. Nah, that's because

somebody probably... Who I know, whatever. I had that original. I got that beat straight. That was their record and they asked us to get on it. Exactly.

And we was like, we could have been like, no, I ain't fucking with you. That's right. Who was doing the foul... My very first... Who was doing the foul imitations of the West Coast?

All the slang. Who was doing that? Uh-uh. The intro. Y'all were saying, dog. I don't, because look, this is how I remember it. You tell me if you remember it different. Um, I happened to be in Queensbridge just hanging out.

Like, I love 12th Street. That was, I felt like I was a 12th Street nigga. I'm from 57th Avenue. You are a 12th Street nigga. I'm an honorary 12th Street nigga, right? Okay, boom. So we out there, and then Stretch Armstrong is doing this bad boy mixtape You remember?

I remember that mixtape You remember it was the bad boy mixtape I have that mixtape I don't remember it, but Yeah, this is what it was originally for So it was a freestyle in a sense In a sense it was a freestyle Right

So that day a dude named Chaz from my hood I remember He was the flyest nigga from my hood But he was the craziest nigga, right? named Chaz from my hood, I remember, he was the flyest nigga from my hood, but he was the craziest nigga, right? So Chaz is outside, like, he confused. He playing me New York, New York. He like, yo, you think they dissing us? So I'm like, I don't know.

I go to Queensbridge, right, to meet up. We happen to, you know, be there. And Stretch Armstrong calls and says, let's come to the studio. So I think you had the turquoise blazer. Yes, I did. Yeah. My memory is a little good.

Yeah, the turquoise blazer. So listen, just in case y'all thinking of a blazer now, back then, a blazer was like a fucking caddy truck. Yeah, I don't fucking remember that.

So look, this guy's got some memory of. Yeah, I don't fucking remember that. This guy's got some memory of a turtle. I can't tell you what happened yesterday, but I can tell you when I come up, I remember this shit. I don't fucking remember that. So everybody, we met at Stretch Armstrong's crib. And I think back then,

Havoc had already gave us beats, but we ain't putting nothing out. But the original's on the original Dog Pound beat. So this is what happened. That's what I did. They axed us. Stretch axed. Yeah, I think we had already did. And then Marley Mar did the remix.

No, no, no, no, no, no. So what happened is, this is L.A., L.A. So what happened, Stretch, I said to Stretch, yo, I remember Chaz had just played me this. So I asked him. He was on something called a DJ list.

Back then, back in the days, you could send somebody a record and two months in advance and your shit wouldn't be bootlegged. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because if he was on a DJ list, it was just in the DJs. So, I asked Stretch to pull it up. We heard New York, New York. We couldn't determine if they were dissing us or not.

So, technically, we didn't diss them. We just rhymed. Correct? No, y'all dissed them. No, we dissed them in the video. I always thought it was a diss record. I always thought it was a diss record. Did that skin intro, man.

But I remember it was Prodigy's verse they took it at. Because he said, he said, JFK on our way to LA. And remember, remember. And remember, remember. And then he used that on y'all album later.

But the original L.A. L.A. were all five of us. Prodigy said NYC, you and I versus supremacy. Havoc and P.E. Queens niggas, so it seemed to be mega. Got word back from Noriega. And that was on the original L.A. L.A. Boom. Oh. I'm going to break it down for you. But he did that on. And that was on original LA LA. Boom. Oh. I'm going to break it down.

But he did that on. Right. Hold on. Hold on. Dan, he's versus somewhere else? No, he's versus somewhere else. But it was originally

on LA LA. He took it off. And when he took it off, I remember we calling Steve Rifkin. Steve Rifkin was like, no, he doesn't want to be a part of this. Really? Yeah,

you didn't. Damn, you didn't even know about it. Make some noise for Happy. Who, who? I didn't want to be a part of it. No, you stayed a part of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's make some noise for Happy staying a part of it. But from what I heard, now I never heard this from Prodigy or Steve Rifkin myself, but from what I heard, Steve Rifkin

said Prodigy didn't want to do it And then the verse came on The week The day that we shot the video Is the day It came out And you was only supposed To come to the video

And then Prodigy showed up He was right there Yes He was in the video That's right That's right He showed up Because it was an ill song

So he did his verse Then in the video No No Oh no He was just like L.A. L.A., big city between. Right, right, right.

Shit was real. But you're saying it wasn't a diss track? Who said that? No, no, no. But then. Because that intro was diss. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was replaced.

But we heard it. We all heard it. But then that sounded like live nigga rap. That was it. That's when he used that verse. That's when he used that verse. But originally, L.A., L.A. And then, here's my question.

Is Tupac came at y'all. You know this is my record. Did you ever at one point want to be like, it's them niggas' record. Like, what? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my question. But I didn't give a fuck.

Yeah, yeah. Because I was like. Because what did y'all do? What was the record? I love the record. It just dropped it too late when you went back at Pop. Drop a jam on it. Woo!

Oh yeah! Drop a jam on it. Drop a jam on it. But I didn't care though, because I was like, yo, this nigga Tupac, the nigga from Juice. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? Like saying our name. So I was like, I don't give a fuck.

Right, right. Like who gives a fuck? You know what I'm saying? Because we got like a hundred Queensmen with us. And we would fucking kill you. But I love Tupac, though.

But at the time. But at the time. Did you realize how beef, I mean, how big that moment was? Like, it was huge. Like, for Tupac to diss you, it's like you go platinum or something like I'm gonna keep it in real

But then I thought about I said I was super broke at that moment To walk me but they came Hold it up, nigga. Shit. But then I thought about it. I said, I was super broke at that moment. So I couldn't afford no fucking Tupac beef. But they came at you. It's a fact, my nigga. Like, at one point, on one arm, I was mad that he dissed y'all. But then on the other arm, I was like, holy shit. I wiped my sweat. But y'all went back.

I didn't give a fuck. You didn't give a fuck. You dropped a gem on her. We did drop a gem on her. It's an crazy record. Because I always thought that even if we did see each other, it was going to be like

whatever. It wasn't going to be no real shit. Right. You know what I mean? We come from the hood, so the real shit is in the hood.

And these other niggas is just rappers. So, you know. This is real shit right there. This is real shit. You know, the fans and the people want to know this L.A., L.A. story.

This is dope. Like, you did my first video. When that L.A., L.A. shit was out, believe me, we was going to L.A. under aliases. Like, we couldn't just, because Biggie got killed. Yo, nah, I'm not gonna lie.

I remember this time. That's true. At this time. What's the chronological order of that, though? So when L.A. L.A. came out, what year is that? 96. Right. And Biggie had died when?

96. No, no, Google, Google, Google. I could swear that Biggie hadn't died yet when y'all put that record out. Nah, he didn't. No, because Pac died first. Then Biggie dies. Nah, nah, nah. We need the Googles.

So this is way before Biggie had passed. Google when Biggie and Pac died, right? Yeah. Pac was in 97. Biggie dies. Nah, nah, nah. We need the Googles. So this is way before Biggie had passed. When Biggie and Pac died, right? Yeah. Biggie hadn't passed. Pac was in 97. Biggie was six months later. So it's still 97? But still, what'd you say, you went in alias names? All I know is I remember

when all of that stuff was going down. Which was crazy. It was the East Coast, West Coast beef. Somebody probably didn't even fucking die yet. Yeah, it was some bullshit. You understand what I'm saying? So when they did die, you understand, it was like, okay, bulletproof cars, names under aliases,

talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more. Play it at play.it. The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here.

And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes.

What was y'all worst fight Like you and P had Our worst fight Cause partners gotta fight That's how you know The relationship is real Like if you ain't Snuffed your nigga one time

Bang Y'all niggas don't love each other That's not true know the relationship is real. Like, if you ain't snuffed your nigga one time, bang. Y'all niggas don't love each other. That's not true. For real. Definitely not. You gotta just, like, I'm talking about, like, when you got 20 years together. I've known my dogs 20-something years. Yeah, yeah, because when money is involved, I'm talking about money.

Money, money, money. You gotta snuff your nigga one time. It's a wrap after that. It won't snuff me. I'm gonna keep it real. It's a wrap after that. We never snuffed me. I'm gonna keep it real. I'm body slamming him at the end. We never had a fight. You never had a fight?

We ain't no half-half. You're not in a breakfast club. You're not on, um... You're not doing, uh... No, we really didn't ever have a fight. Nah, never. But y'all came close. I don't believe you, yeah.

Yeah, we came close. But you did snuff him once. We came close to a fight. Cabone snuffed me. We came close. I never, never, never put my hands on people. Because, listen, I know you're lying. It's okay.

But you protect me and people. And that's a great thing. That's a great thing. You got to take a nice word, man. I'm going to tell you when you had a fight with him. Oh, shit. When he came home from jail. That's the same time I had a fight with Capone.

When them niggas come home from jail, this is what we fucked up, right? Me and you. You gotta leave a nigga three months. After a nigga come home from jail, the nigga still smell like Korg craft soap. You gotta leave him alone for three months.

We tried to hold these niggas down and we came up and then you gotta fuck them up. Let's just keep it real. Come on, Havoc. We heard you beat prodigy up before I think Capone is the only draw I had like it was it was a draw. Like, he snuffed me, though, first. This is a fact. He came from jail. And it still be in them, like... It still be in them.

It should still be in them. So you gotta slam them when they're here. You gotta slam them when they're here. I've seen Pone do some foul shit right after he came out of jail. I've done... Listen, yes, yes. Drain, drain, drain.

This is 12th Street. We see it in elevators. Does it run in 12th Street? Is it like that in 12th Street? It's in the water. It's in the water. Let's make some noise for 12th Street water. We see it in elevators. Does it run in 12th Street? Is it like that in 12th Street? It's in the water. It's in the water. Let's make some noise for 12th Street water. I am so proud that you came through.

Because, you know, all this shit is jokes and laughs. You know what I'm saying? Like, the people, you're a legend, my dude. You've done so much historical, monumental shit. And we've done it, you know what I'm saying? Seeing each other grow. And I just, the reason why I be joking and laughing is I want people to know, because at the end of the day, I can't interview somebody at Drink Champs who don't want to do Drink Champs.

Like, I can't. They got to know what it is. I can't. I can't sleep this. But you're about to start getting a lot of interviews of, like. No, I mean, our shit is ringing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we stopped everything for

you and we got guess what we also got um we got what's that should go a bar bar what is it called bartenders a bartender we got a bartender i forgot like i wanted to make sure i wasn't saying a guy what is it because it's bartender we have we have a bartender We have a server. What's the guy version of bartender? It's the same thing. A bartender. There's no gender in the bartender. There's no gender in the bartender. I think that hip-hop should have our own race. Do you think I'm retarded? Our own race?

Who said that in the last episode? Was it you? I thought it was David Banner. Our own race? I feel like you should check. Hip-hop is a race. It's like white, black, hip-hop is a race like hip-hop is a race like I feel like like white black hip-hop like go hip-hop yep like I feel like I understand that the W Hotel is my favorite hotel right my suit most my favorite hotel right and in the W Hotel whatever W Hotel you got you got

the gay flag out there I don't care I'm good. Gave you all my people. It should be a hip-hop flag. But I want a hip-hop flag. Am I wrong? What's a hip-hop flag? What's going on with it? What's a hip-hop flag look like? I don't know. Can we make a hip-hop flag? My homie here. Hoi can make it.

Hoi can make it. We want a hip-hop flag. Are you with me on this? On the Drink Champs, yes, you start a contest if somebody didn't make the hip-hop flag. Now we got homie who makes the club flag. Hey, Hoi.

You know how they got the Jordan thing like that? It should be like a hip-hop flag. Yeah, hoey. You know how they got the Jordan thing like that? It should be like a hip hop flag. Yeah, it should. Like, I am with that. A contest. Yeah. And then, you know. Because, just think about it.

Hold on, hold on. Who told you to open a rose? No, no, no, no, no. Hold on, hold on, hold on. We're going to save that for afterwards. Hold on. Everybody else is saying what to do. Hold on.

No, no, nobody else. No, no, no. We listen to him. We listen to him. You have to listen to this moron. Unless Best Buy Lickers tell you, my man, what's my man's name? Let's pick him up. D, D, what up? D, pick him up.

Hold on, because we staying right here. But listen, have it. Listen, this is real shit, right? Okay. Like, we should have responsibility of putting people in office. Like, I told Talib Kweli, he came here, and he was speaking all this shit,

you know, great shit, about how we reform and do shit. But I say you should run for either mayor or Brooklyn council. Or the mayor of Brooklyn. So why don't he? This is what I'm trying to do. No, I think he was down to do it, but he didn't want to talk about it yet. Now we told David Banner, run for Mississippi or L.A.

But you know what, though? When niggas be running for office, a lot of skeletons start coming out. Donald Trump. So that's why niggas don't. But Donald Trump is disrespected. He's like, he's changing that shit. He might be fucking around to be the next president. You could have any skeleton at that point.

And look, look. So you're telling me, you're telling me the shit that Donald Trump do, right? But he's white. But he's white. Yeah, but. No, but I think the shit you said was genius. That's why I said. The smack DVD shit was genius.

Yeah. He was like, it's like a Smack DVD. He turned politics into a freestyle battle. Right. So what I'm saying is that's why we can't win under being black people, but we can win under being hip hop. You understand what I'm saying? Like we have people register as a hip hopper. So wait a minute.

You got to make up your mind. Is it a race or a party? It's both. But we'll never win. I don't know. Listen, I'm the guy who came up with it. It can't be a race and a party. It's both. But we'll never win. I don't know. Listen, I'm the guy who come up with... You can't be a race and a party. Yeah, why not, man?

Nah, that'd be racist at that point. We gotta change some new shit. Like hip-hopper. They already hate us. But what I'm saying is, we can actually turn the world around. Hip-hop owns the world right now. Yeah, but we don't utilize it.

Yeah, but we don't got the power. Culturally. We don't got the power. We could if we network everybody. That's what he's saying. That's what I utilize it. Culturally. Yeah, but we don't got the power. Culturally. We don't got the power. We could if we network everybody. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Network everybody. We negate everybody around the world.

And we don't need to have meetings, but you register under hip-hop. So you could be any fucking nationality, and you register under hip-hop. But that's a part. That's a different thing. I think that's a good idea. I'm just saying. I'm with both of those. Because let's just say, let's just say, man, like, you know, hip-hop is crazy.

Like, you have brothers like Screwball from Queensbridge. You know what I'm saying? Legends. And one of them passed away, right? Two of them passed away, I want. Screwball, one of them. Yeah, so why wouldn't hip-hop come? Like, it shouldn't be Mobb Deep's responsibility.

It should be hip-hop's responsibility when a person has dedicated their life to this culture and this thing. We should have insurance policies for ourselves. Health insurance for ourselves. This is what KRS was saying, but even bigger than that. He's been saying that. Even bigger than that. Do you agree with that? Like, if you're an actor, there's SAG, there's all this shit.

You ain't got shit for hip-hop, nigga. You ball and bust your legs music should have that hip hop in it I would love to agree with you but it's all just about getting fucking insurance period

as a human being as a person individually you know what I'm saying cause motherfuckers be dying and leaving they family with the bill you know what I'm saying

and shit like that when they can just get life insurance and life insurance is available for anybody and it don't cost that much it's true but you a part of a legendary group you gon gonna get money for the rest of your life what

about people who dedicated their life to this game and can't get another dollar out this game but they they they spent every dollar they did but give an example give an example because like a like if you could have joe schmoe on the block who thinks he's been winning in like a sporty d like a school ball, like a cool Herc. Like cool Herc. Pioneers and legends, right. Like if cool Herc is sick... That's originally how...

Even Jay-Z was a part of that movement. I think originally. What movie is that? That cool Herc and Afrika Bambaat and all of them should have some kind of... Yeah, man. If you're a sports agent and you get fucked up, there's something to protect you. Right now, if you... If a train hits your motherfucking ass...

If you're a sports agent, then you're making bread to get health insurance and life insurance. Right. You know what I'm saying? If you're in the hood, if you're fucking stupid enough

not to get Medicaid, then you're fucking just stupid enough not to get Medicaid. No, but you don't feel like people who dedicated their life... Like Like at the end of the day Oh you talking about Rappers and artists I think when you said SAG

That's a perfect example Of what I should have But look When they made the Of course There's not an organization For people to put Their money in

Musicians at the very least Right For hip hop But at the same time When you do make money You shouldn't just Spend it on jewelry And cars

And all of this shit and expect me to feel sorry for you 10 years later. So is that the culture's responsibility too? Because we teach in that too. It's not the culture, it's your responsibility as a person. Right. But if the culture's teaching that to the youth that doesn't know any better and they grow up in that,

I'm just saying. The culture's not really teaching that because they're not even advocating it. That's what I'm saying. We shouldn't be like boxing. In boxing, there's no holds barred. You just get your're not even advocating it. That's what I'm saying. We shouldn't be boxing. In boxing, there's no holds barred. You just get your money and that's it. But every other sport, they have unions and they have shit like that. Yeah, but sport doesn't have that. Hip hop shouldn't be like that. When I do a movie, I sign up.

These motherfuckers pay me for as long as this movie is being played. You know what I'm saying as this movie is being paid. Right. Play. You know what I'm saying? Like, that shit is real shit. Like, why hip-hop can't do that? So, and then we have a union where we take a percentage out and, you know. No, a union is definitely, I think. That's a good one.

K-R-S-1 gets sick. That's good. That's good. K-R-S-1 gets sick. He gets some real shit sick. You're going to pay into the union. You're going to get out of the union. You're going to need $500,000

And none of us gotta Come out of our pocket Because we've been payin' Confident No, no, no But think about it But think about it But think about it

But think about it But think about it What about when you start Runnin' into lazy rappers? That's what I'm sayin' No, no You gotta pay into the union You gotta qualify

You gotta pay into it Yeah, you gotta pay into the union And qualify Yeah, but Okay, alright So you're not gonna handle Hip-hop as on Hip-hop welfare I mean, it's like Sac When he said Sac You gotta pay into it. Yeah, and qualify. Yeah, but, okay, all right. So you're not gonna handle hip-hop as on hip-hop welfare. I mean, it's like SAG.

When he said SAG, that made sense. Wait, I don't understand. Wait, hip-hop welfare? Because it would become hip-hop welfare. Because somebody would be like, I'm a rapper just to get benefits. But that doesn't have to be SAG. You gotta put it in that work.

You gotta put it, it's like a pension. What's work? It's like a pension. No, you gotta show your work, yeah. Yeah, like you know how you, like it in that work. You got to put it. It's like a pension. What's work? It's like a pension. No, you got to show your work. Yeah. Like, you know how you. Like publishing, in a sense. Like, if you work for 20 years.

I get it. I get it. It's a pension. You get a pension at the end of your job. Correct? Like, if you work for somewhere. You get a what? A pension.

I thought you said a picture. I'm like. No. No, a pension. Nobody know what I'm talking about? Yes, I get it. I thought you said a picture. A lot of y'all niggas work over here

I never had a real job in my life Yeah I never had a real job neither But I know that I watched King of Queens And And King of Queens Doesn't happen He gets a pension

At the end of his shit He worked for UPS And that's what happens In real life right? But you know what though Why we can't have that In hip hop We get a pension It's not realistic

Because there's too many Fucking rappers No but I'm saying You gotta put in You gotta put in your work And you gotta buy into it But what's work You gotta buy into it though

If you ain't making money You ain't gonna buy into shit You know what I'm saying And like publishing If your record ain't doing nothing Publishing ain't gonna pay So we have to have a system How about when you make money

Just buy yourself some healthcare That's it Yeah but What I'm saying is What about the niggas Like God bless Like Like

ODB Or DMX They ain't gonna get no healthcare I have it Those are my niggas That's they for God bless them They some wild niggas

Or the people that were here before And I love them. Before it got to where it got. Like a cool hurt. Do you not think that maybe someone like a cool hurt deserves something back from the culture? Shh. Do we deserve something back from the culture? Yeah.

Of course. Being that the culture was built on his back. Definitely. Definitely. Yes. Hell yeah. But he's there before an infrastructure. Before the infrastructure. Before industry was invested in hip-hop

Before anybody even believed in hip-hop as a viable means Yeah, but if you get somewhere where, you know what I'm saying Before the infrastructure, then, you know, what can I say? What? What can I say? But anyway, let's get on to the topic Yeah, yeah, nah, this is real. I'm sorry.

I was getting political because that's something that's really close to my heart. It's like, if you put in 20 years of work, anybody put in 20 years of work, and, you know, some people not know how to reinvent themselves. Some people don't know how to produce beats. Some people don't know how to do a podcast. Some people don't know how to DJ. You know what I'm saying? What happens?

You look at the NBA. These guys stopped playing for the NBA, and they have options. As a rapper, why can't we retire and say, I put in that work. I paid my insurance. I want my insurance back. Boom! And you get a nice lump sum and you get to go to Barbados and chase chicks that look like

Rihanna. But you have to put in your work before that would happen. That's what he's saying. You can't just be that. Because you know what'll happen? You can't be Joe Small on Toolball. This is what'll happen when you start thinking like that. When you go, okay, when you become a rapper, you join into this thing, and then you're going to get healthcare. It's just

going to drive the prices down when you go to perform. If you was going to get paid $5,000, now you're only going to get paid $200 if everybody is getting into this system. So it's a capitalistic market. You understand what I'm saying? And it's a free market. You understand what I'm saying? So if you want to put restrictions on it and regulations, then cool. But next time you go to Russia or Switzerland to do a show, they're only going to give you $200.

No, no. You understand what I'm saying? No, no. No, that's what's going to happen if you make it a system. I don't see how that would happen, though. No, no, no. No, it will happen. No, no.

If it's a system. If it's a system. But he's saying something more national. It would drive. We took Dream Champs to a whole. No, I like this, though. This is different. This is different. This is different.

I don't even want another drink no more, right? Because it's like Daz. You see Daz? Like, Daz did all these amazing records, and his royalty checks... No, but Daz's retirement is his bud shit. Yeah, his royalty check. But his publishing is so crazy. His publishing is crazy.

His publishing is bananas. Your publishing got to be crazy like this. And there's this thing about it You're blessed There's people who is not Right So whose fault is that though? I don't know

I'm asking Nah I don't think it should be That combo over there Is fucking me up Go ahead Nah so what I'm saying is If the records ain't good It shouldn't be

The concept The concept sounds good But once you do the concept It's gonna drive prices down For the rest of the people that's trying to get paid, and it's not gonna be a free market no more. It's like we're having the producers.

This is a game of paying jack shit now. Right, they're getting paid less. But we rely on publishing. You understand what I'm saying? So I don't give a fuck what you give me up front, because I'm already sitting and I'm living, I got my house, I don't give a fuck What you give me a friend Cause I'm already Sitting and living I got my house I don't care what you give me

A friend As long as the publisher's right Give me 75% of the publishing Right I'm more happier with that Because that's gonna last longer And then my kids can get that Cause this is for my kids now

You know what I'm saying So the publishing In turn is doing What we're talking about In a sense Pretty much But not directly You understand what I'm saying?

But it's a good concept, hip-hop, insurance, and this, that, and the third, but it'll just drive prices down and people away from the business.

Okay, let's get back dumb. We spoke too much. All right, now. I'm so worried. Did I tell you my favorite I'm having wine? That girl who... Yeah, Amanda. Amanda. Yeah, we need... Amanda Payton. We need? Yeah, that girl who... Yeah, Amanda.

Amanda. Yeah, we need to change the ice. We need everything. She paid attention to the crowd. Listen, did I tell you my favorite Havoc rhyme? Did I ever say that just now? No, no. Go.

You wanna see And get creeping On those who kept sleeping I'll never do that I'm wrong with two masks Plus my crew backs My every move I choose Give them crews the blues I'm runnin' with two maxes Plus my crew backs, my every move I choose, give a cruise to blues

I'm open off the daily, obey me Or get sprayed with the sweeper Cause I'm a brother's keeper, the grand reaper Rollin' with nothin', but big batters and big heaters Blow your dreams high, leave you marked like Adidas Jiggy, I know how to fix you Pretty boy, niggas frontin' hard is the issue Word to my arm, boy, you get folded Like Adidas of this lifestyle. The 41st side get bent, run wild. The 41st side too. You know how you do

violate, motherfucker. I'ma see you with the Linden. It's the start of your ending. Setting it again and again. Make some noise! Make some noise! That rhyme is so powerful that when I met YG, all right, I met the nigga. I met him for two seconds.

He said, yo, whatever you want, my nigga. I remember, listen, whatever that nigga asked me for. I said, yo, that that's why Gee my nigga Like yo listen man I'ma be honest man I hated these rumors About us Because

If there wasn't No Mobb Deep There wouldn't have been No CNN And if we never said that I'ma say it in front of your face I'ma say it in front of everybody We 100%

You paved the way for% you paved the way for us. Nas paved the way for y'all. Y'all paved the way for us. And this is how life is supposed to be. We supposed to get money for the rest of our life and be old niggas and drinking Tito's vodka

on a goddamn podcast. Getting drinks from a chick named Amanda. Shit is live. That's not too bad. You know what I'm saying, Hal? That's not too bad. We can't complain right now.

I can't complain. But yo, man, yeah, that shit, you know. You got your new album. We've totally forgotten. Come on. This is up right now? Is there a camera somewhere?

Yeah, we got cameras all over. Right, right, right. You've been taping the whole time. You can do a commercial right now. This is not right now? Is there a camera somewhere? Yeah we got cameras all over Right here right here You been taping the whole time You can do a commercial right now This is not a first week album This is one of them albums That you grinded out For a lot of weeks

Right Right here And this is called The Silent Partner You know what I mean? And it's produced by the Alchemist And stuff like that Shout out to the Alchemist

The whole project? Yeah he did the whole project If you look at it It looked like a jazz album. Jazz and the Taz. Jazz and the Taz. Guru and all that. But, you know, I don't give a fuck.

Baby girl, can I get another one? We have Alchemist on YouTube. I'm having one of the other ones. We're not letting Havoc leave yet. This is dope, by the way. Oh, thank you, baby girl. We're not letting Havoc leave yet. Not yet, not yet.

The album's dope. The album's dope? Wow. Oh, you heard it? Thank you, thank you. I'm a fan. Now, what's left for you? Oh, man, there's so much going on.

I just wrote a screenplay, you know what I'm saying, entitled Black Sheep. You know what I'm saying? The movie that I'm about to put out. What's it about, roughly? Roughly, it's about a black kid that was raised by a Mexican family. You know what I'm saying? Since he was a toddler.

Oh, you're getting deep. I told you this nigga went to Art and Design. Listen, Art and Design is a real school. What inspired that story? You got to be rich or smart to go to Art and Design. It's a fact. Me living in Cali. Me living in Cali and just being out there and just checking it out.

You know what I'm saying? It's all good. But my next movie is called Killer Black, which is more straightforward. You know what I'm saying? It's all good. But my next movie is called Killer Black, which is more straightforward. Your brother. You know what I'm saying? Your brother, right? Yeah, it's going to be loosely.

I love Killer Black. Let's make some noise for Killer Black. You knew my brother. Yes. I love you, brother. He was the realest nigga. You knew my brother.

Yeah, he was a great guy. Great guy. And I, you know, imagine, you know, that's my brother and he's not here right now. Right. So I got a movie, imagine, you know, that's my brother and he's not here right now. Right. So I got a movie loosely based on him that I wrote.

And it's not just bullshit like, you know, hood flicks or whatever it is. Because let's just get to it. Did you agree with Prodigy's book? Like, let's just be real. He said he didn't read it. No, no, no, no. I'm going to be honest with you. And I'm going to say it again.

I didn't read it. And the little things that I did read, I didn't agree with it, but I respected it because that was his story. His point of view. That was his point of view. So I was like, okay, cool.

And me and Prodigy is around each other 24, 7 days a week. You know what I'm saying? His life is yours. your life is yours. Right, right, right. So would you ever write a book like that? And like, without, like, because I assume. If I would have wrote a book like that, I would have wrote it.

But now that he wrote a book like that, I won't write one. So you write the movie. You write the movie. You know, it's whatever it is. So your brother, your brother's a Queens legend. Not only a Queensbridge legend. He was like one of the realest of the realest. And that's your older brother or your younger brother?

He's my younger brother. He's my little brother. Your little brother. Wow. God bless, man. God bless you, my brother. But, yeah, you know, so my next screenplay that I wrote is called, you know, Killer Black. And it's loosely based on my brother's story.

You know, you've met my brother before. It's not going to be like a shoot him up, bang, bang type of film. But it's going to really get inside the depths of, you know, my crib and shit like that. You know what I mean? What was going on. Nah, nah, nah. Yo, your whole block, I'm just shit like that. Right. You know what I mean? You know what was going on. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Yo, your whole block, I'm just saying,

your block was, was... How much time, how much time we got left? We, we, we, we don't give a fuck. Whatever we want. Because my fucking bladder's

about to bust. Are you about to bust? Everybody got to pee on this show. This is the way we kind of end the show. Maybe we don't. All right. Yeah, we, how much?

We're on pause. We're on at 75. All right. All right, we can do like five more minutes and come back. We can do like five, ten more minutes. It's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful day. I knew that.

I learned that from Vali. I learned that from Vali. And we thought about this years ago. For real? No, Charlamagne told me, he said, he came on our shit, and he said, yo, see, I can't say no to y'all because y'all the drink champs, and y'all actually have drinks. And Breakfast Club don't have breakfast. He said, the Breakfast Club never have breakfast.

I was like, oh, shit. The concept we have forever. Breakfast and everything is going to sleep. Yeah, go to sleep. It just took us a while to get it off the ground. And we tape it, we all in. No, no. But yo, but yo, that's, who thought of that?

Both of us. With the drinks right here. This is conceptual. For real? With the drinks right here? Me and this nigga used to hang out, right? This is how the drink chaps, in my mind, you got a totally different story, and it's fucking great.

What, I have a different story? No, I'm just kidding. In my mind, you have a different story, because in my mind. We used to hang out. I used to record in his studio. In my office in Kendall. In Kendall, yeah. He have a different story? No, in my mind. You have a different story because in my mind. We used to hang out. I used to record in his studio. In Kendall, yeah. He had a studio.

I used to record and he used to play poker. If you record records and play poker, it's pretty much like the same time. Like, it's long as fucking half.

Right, right. So, he would be out there with a big ass bottle of Bacardi. Look. This one. Look.

I had this religiously. And I'd be out there with a big ass bottle of like either Ciroc. No, I had this religiously and I'll be out there with a big-ass bottle or like either sir I was drinking smear no it wasn't with Kindu, man. Yeah, man. Give some credit. You came down south and you went down. I didn't give him no love. We're going to give Kindu some fucking love, man. Let's give Kindu love. Where's Kindu? It's South Miami.

It's real South Miami. It's like Long Island of Miami. Not really. It's like the Hempstead of Miami. They even got Homestead.

So you finished the story you were telling them. How we started Dream Champs. Oh, yes. Your story. Yeah, so you would drink the Bacardi them. How we started Dream Champs. Oh, yes. Your story. Yeah, so you would drink the Bacardi.

I would drink the Grey Goose. And then we would both finish. So we both felt like, oh, all right. You're a champ. You're a champ. And then we initiated Static Selector first. No, no, but you're going way ahead of the story. I'm going to wait until our hour.

We had mad friends. We would get them drunk. We had Netflix friends. Mad friends. Oh, mad friends. Okay. We had mad people in the story. I'm going to wait until our audience We had mad friends. We had Netflix friends? Mad friends. Oh, mad friends. Okay. We had mad people in the studio

and they all trying to drink with us. So you had young cats trying to drink with older cats. And they can't hang. Now don't do heroin no more. And one of the niggas

pissed in the cooler. Remember? Yes. We had Sonny Son. Nigga pissed in the cooler. Long story short, a lot of drinking and then we was just saying,

either you a dream champ or you not a dream champ. Right. So then he made a song about it while we was there. Dream champs. The dream champs song. Alchemist beat. When did you make this song? It was an alchemist beat.

Alchemist beat. Alchemist beat, and then we had to change it. We had to change it. Because Alchemist sold to Mississippi. Alchemist sold to Mississippi. You didn't come and get a Havoc beat? Which we deserved. Can I get a Havoc beat? Which we deserve. Can I get a Havoc beat for my last album?

But let's get this money You heard about this tour Let's think about this tour That's the train Yeah that's Elliot Wilson's train Yeah I used to run trains On 12th street back in the day It's not that type of train

Yo I ain't gonna lie Yo let me tell you something During that infamous album Y'all made me want to rap. Like, I had doubt. I had doubted myself. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I had doubted myself.

Then I hung out with Twin. And I hung out with... Y'all went to the Palladium. This is one of my favorite Queensbridge stories of all time. When the Palladium was shutting down that night. It was the last night of the Palladium. And Nas had came. Nas had the gold Lexus.

And Twin, I I was twins guest. I wasn't. Capone, I don't think. No, Capone was home, but I think he was on the run. He had shot a dude called Pat Poose. You remember this? Is my memory good? Son, I even got more stories to it, but go ahead.

But listen, so this is my favorite Queensbridge moment. Y'all had a show at the Palladium. And it was like 900 niggas outside. Sounded like the train behind you. And then Nas drove through. He had drove through in a gold Lexus. That was like his first car. And everybody opened up as Nas drove through.

And the nigga was smoking a blunt. And he just said Queen's bread and I was like damn we need more people in my life we need more yo I can't tell you but this shit like the million man marched to me my nigga like I was like that was my favorite Queen it was at a mob deep show at the Palladium and yo I would never forget that for as long as I lived.

He really went back like that. I don't even think he came in the club this night. I think he just came in and was like, y'all niggas, because y'all did perform like five songs. And then y'all niggas beat somebody up and shit. Yeah.

It was like pretty much like that, like that. And then I was like, yo, you know what? I'm bringing my whole hood out. Like, when I do that. And y'all was my inspiration. That's what's up, man. How much pussy did you have? He just takes it down.

How much pussy did I have? Yeah. Not a lot, man. Now he's downplaying it right now. No, I'm an amateur. I Yeah. Not a lot, man. Now, we're downplaying it right now. No, I'm an amateur. I swear I'm an amateur, man. Nobody believes you have it. No, I'm not.

You was knocking things down. Singers and all that. You was giving out dick for beats. This is a fact. Nah, nah. I always was a family, man. I always was a family. I was just an amateur.

Was there ever a tour, a loud tour with pun alcoholics and y'all? It probably was. I do remember being around a lot. You just don't remember? Are you on your DMX shit? You don't remember shit right now? Are you on your DMX shit? Nah, but you know what?

Dope. Yeah, we used to be on the road with pun a lot. Who else was there? It was Pun. Alcoholics. M.O.P. was over there. Alcoholics. M.O.P.

They wasn't really around at that time. That was kind of early. Afterwards, yeah. I wasn't being on Loud because Loud was the label at that time. The street label, too. Did you see the inside of the label? I never looked at Loud like that,

but they came out with some kind of documentary that I didn't see. You didn't see it? No, I didn't see it. When you say you didn't look at them like that, what do you mean by that? Yeah. No, I never looked at Loud as some kind of...

Like revolutionary hip-hop. Revolutionary label. No, but I big Steve Rifkin up. You know what I'm saying? But when we got there, it was just in this infancy. So when we got there... Wait, what word did you just say? Infancy.

The babies. But I mean, now looking back, the artists that they chose... Labels don't even do that today. No. You know what I'm saying? Wu-Tang, y'all, Alcoholics, Xzibit, M.O.P. When I think about it now, when I think back, I kind of regret taking it for granted. But I didn't know what we was around because we had Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep.

Then Pump was dead. So it was just really something that was like... Was there a certain A&R at Loud that was picking artists besides Steve? Was Steve involved in that? Not that I know. Because once we got there... How did you get to Loud?

Because Matty C and Scott Free. Matty C and Scott Free. Matty C is originally sourced? I think he was the unsigned hype. Loud was a cubicle when we first got there. And they said, yo, we got these All this cold Wu-Tang

And I remember Bringing it home And listening to it And I was like You know Cause you know I'm on my own shit So I was like

Whatever You know what I'm saying But then like The next three months Niggas in my whole hood Was playing They didn't even know That I was in the office

In the same building Right Of the people that Fuck with these niggas Right And then my whole hood Was playing Wu right. Of the people that fuck with these niggas. Right. And then my whole hood's playing Wu-Tang, and I'm looking at these niggas like, oh shit, I could go back to the office and give them data. Right.

You know what I'm saying? Right, right. I could give them a little bit of data. Like, this is what's going on. This is what they don't like. They gave me the CD. I didn't know what to do with it, and then I just put it to the side. But then the whole hood started going crazy.

My own hood, I was like, you like that? I was like, I know these niggas. You know what I'm saying? Now, did you ever shook ones out on your own at first, and then Loud came? And then shook ones for you? No, no, no, no, no, no. We made it. Loud gave us the budget, and then we did it.

And then we just gave Loud something to run with. You know what i'm saying they was like okay this is the song right here and he's like yeah and we took a chance but that wasn't the first shook ones it was a shit one spot too right it was it was one that you never hear you know what i'm saying and then when we put on part two is basically the remix right so when we put out the first sequence, we put it out and then nobody liked it. Nobody. Same beat? No. No, it's a different beat. It was a different beat. So people was like, nobody liked it. They was like, so what's up? And y'all was on loud at

that time. Right. And they was like, what's up, son? We gave you a second shot. So I was like, all right, fuck it. I went to the crib. And then I just made the sequence that you hit. So I made it. Off the project stove. And then I made it. And then they was listening. And then they was like, oh, OK.

And then they liked it personally. So they pushed it. You remember performing that at How Can I Be Down at Luke's Club? Of course I was there In Atlanta No, no, no

We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Now, Havoc, Queensbridge. I want to just be clear. There's no beef with Capone or Noriega or Havoc.

I really appreciate you for coming here and just sitting here. But this tour, is this something that you think that we can pull off? I think that we could really pull it off and it would really be dope. And I think that the fans would love it more than we even think. I believe so. You'll be huge. I believe so. I believe so, man.

I definitely believe so. Hold on. Let me light this world corner. You're going to like this bolt shit right now. You don't like this smell? You didn't like it

when Currency was here, so why the fuck do you like it now? No, because I was trying to win. Like when I win my argument. I don't mind it,

but you blow it into my fucking face. Are you petty, Havoc? I'm a petty nigga. I'm very petty. Like, when you break up with a bitch and you pull her a purse. Is that a Queens thing?

The petty thing? If you pull her a purse, do you take the purse back? It depends how much it costs. I got to rhyme like that. I said, I used to buy a bitch's purse, break up with him,

take the purse back. Damn. It's a fact. I'm a petty nigga. What the fuck? You surprised? And this is when I was rich, fact. I'm a petty nigga. What the fuck? You surprised? And this is when I was rich, rich.

I'm still surprised when you get petty. Nah, I'm mad petty. You don't... Listen, if Jay-Z called me over a podcast, that is petty.

That means rich... All rich niggas is petty. I think we should all accept our pettiness. Does anybody disagree? I disagree. Listen, accept your pettiness. Have... Do you think you don't accept your pettiness. Does anybody disagree? I disagree. Listen, accept your pettiness. Do you think you don't accept your pettiness? I really accept it.

You ever took shit back from a bitch? Did I ever what? Take shit back from a bitch. Of course. Let's describe the situation. I got mad stories if you want me to go first. I gave her 20 Gs. And then we was about to break up. I said, I want my 20 Gs.

And she gave it to me back. Wait up. Big up to her, though, for having the 20 Gs. I got to know what year this is because I want to know was her pussy sunshine? Did you throw it in the air

and it turned into sunshine? Was it that? Was it that? Was it that? It was sunshine. It was sunshine? I'm just joking. I'm just joking. But not every chick would have the 20 Gs to give back, though.

Huh? What happened? I mean, thank God she had the 20 Gs to give back. Right. Yeah, thank God for her bank. Right. Oh, she spent it and still had it? How?

No, she had the 20 Gs. I gave it to her, but she still had it, and I took it back. But that's being an Indian giver. That was fab. No, I'm an Indian giver. That was fab. That's called pettiness. And y'all from Queens, y'all established.

I don't think it's a Queens thing. I don't think it's a Queens thing. I shouldn't have said that. I think it's a me thing. No, I think it's a Queens thing. Y'all established that right now. Oh, you just, what? Oh, you think Queens think it's a sped?

You just said that. I'm saying I'm petty. I ain't representing Queens in this moment right now. I ain't representing Queens in this moment right now I'm representing me and but I'm asking my brother from Queens. Are you petty you said he said yeah Okay, yeah friend.
