Yeah, you know they shoot shit up a circle house be careful yeah yeah I know I heard be careful be careful be careful they should by the window yeah you don't say I bought a witness crazy I am but I

let's I use circle house all the time I was appalled when I heard I said what niggas is bringing the hood to the book even though that technically is the hood yeah but it's a nice water hood it's like middle class like Jamaican state right like almost so okay how did you guys hook up because every we knowiid, we know you for, you know, being a DJ. I know you from the mixtape days. I know you from the beginning. And for you to transition to go on to radio, but now you're transitioning, going on to real estate. And obviously with this man standing next to you, how did you guys hook up in the beginning?

I was doing real estate before I met Ceaser. And I was just getting into it. I was doing a lot in Detroit. I was doing some in New Jersey. Very light, just trying to get into it. I was doing a lot in Detroit, I was doing some in New Jersey, very light, just trying to get into it. They pissed on you about Detroit today. Somebody's like, that's not enough. Yeah, somebody called the bank and said it's not enough.

So, you know, I do stuff in Detroit and I wasn't going as fast, you know. Shout out to Nick DeGrit who's, who Fetty Wap has signed to, hit me up and was like, my man Ceaser wants to talk to you about doing real estate. But, you know, in this game everybody does real estate, like game everybody does real estate like everybody's a rapper like everybody's a producer everybody's a dj so i kind of just was like yeah whatever and then he hit me and was like yo i'm starting to do real estate uh i'm doing real estate you should really meet up with me so

me and my wife went over to his office and we met up with him and we just had a great conversation he was like let me show you let me show you my real estate hop in my car and i'm like my nigga i don't know you like that i'm not gonna call my wife texting me now we're not getting his car follow me I got follow he was like you can't follow me I have to show you the properties where to go so I believed in him and we jumped in his car and he showed me half a Patterson and show me what he owed and me what he owned and how he did it and he just showed me easier ways to get things done he was like the connect for me.

So if I needed a lender, he's the connect. If I needed a hard money lender, he's the connect. If I needed properties and this, that, and the other, he was the connect. He was showing me how to do it different than how I was doing it. So if I'm doing two a year, he's showing me how I can do 80 a year. So, and it all put together. We had the same goal of not only, you know, not only creating generational wealth, but also putting our community on. And that was the main thing.

Because every time we go to these auction houses and we go in and we bid in for homes and we're on the steps of these city halls and we don't see nobody that looks like us. And I was like, that's a problem. The problem is, I'm the first person to go to school in my family. My family was kind of like, you work all your life, you retire when you get old and keep it moving. And I'm like, I want to change that narrative. I want to make sure that we learn how we can leave something for our son. Like, as I say, you don't want to do this show no more. You know, you're good. Your bills are paid because your rent is taking care of everything you got. And you ain't even got to go pick it up. And I'm like, that's what we need to create. That's what Trump did. That's what the Rockefellers did. That's what everybody that made, you know,

millions and billions in real estate did. But we don't know our first thing is I ain't got enough money oh you need money to make money but that ain't the case like you put them Louis shoes that Louis bag on the side for a second put that that Gucci belt or that you know Balenciaga shoes on the side hold that money for a little bit and let them as cribs pay for themselves and that's what we're teaching our you know our community so we started doing the seminars where we go into areas like Newark, Patterson, Chicago, Detroit, Irvington uh we haven't been to Irvington that's that's real it's real yeah yeah and we go to those areas and we actually teach people how to do it we we bring people in so it ain't like some of them bum ass seminars and I'm shitting on all the seminars right now.

Because a lot of them seminars, they really just want to take niggas money. Like they really want to meet with me. I'm going to charge you three grand to talk to me. And five grand. No, we don't do that. We bring everybody to the seminar. We bring credit people who can help fix the credit. We bring lending, conventional lenders that help people get money.

Or hard money lender, explain what that is. We bring agents we bring Attorneys we bring all that there so you can talk to them and there is no fee to talk to them like you could talk to Pull them to the side you can talk to me and see is because we really honestly want to help like we good We good we financially secure, but it's no fun if you the only nigga that got bread. Goddamn, make some noise for that. Now, C's, what makes you want to even spread the knowledge? Because, obviously,

you wanted to start with the 50 first, right? Start with the 50 first, yeah. So, what makes you go, goddammit. You're getting better at least. At least you're getting better. At least you didn't just sound like a 40 cow bussing.

So, let me get past the cups, brother. I don't trust this white cup, man. I don't know. Just don't feel good about it. So, you got more free champ stickers or no? All right, so what makes you want to spread this knowledge? Because most people, I know you got your brother, that's my man, the property manager. Most people would take it just you and your brother.

What made you even want to reach out to a person like Envy and want to spread that type of thing? It's one of those things, especially in our community, where when somebody makes it, they never come back and pull another one out. So that's kind of one of those things that I want to help as many people as possible that look like us. When you think about it, at this point now in this country, we're pretty much the majority between African-Americans and Hispanics. Yes. But yet we don't have that much wealth. Right. You know, and it's one of those things where like if you work in Walmart, for example, like most people don't know this, and you make $30,000 a year, you make enough to buy rental property.

You make enough to go out there and buy a three-family home that you can live there for free. Give us an example. Give us an example. Give us an example. For people that's normal, that has a regular job, like you said, making $30,000 a year, that think that that's end-all, be-all. Give them an example of how they can- You could go right now in this current market, for example. I'm going to start with New Jersey, right?

Because that's where we're from. You could go over there. You could pick up probably a three-family property for about, let's say, $290,000, $320,000. Okay. All you need to make is about $30,000. Okay. Down payment, all you really need is like $10,000, right? Wow.

But the thing about it is when you close on that property, number one, the bank gives you 45 days to pay the mortgage. So the property is rented already. You're going to get that rent back, right? So you're going to get 45 days to pay the mortgage. So you're going to get $4,500 to get that rent back, right? So you're going to get 45 days to pay the mortgage. So you're going to get $4,500. Let's say $1,500, $1,500, $1,500 in an apartment.

All right. So the first 45 days, you don't pay the mortgage. So if you close on August 15th, you don't have to pay the mortgage until October 15th. So right there, you get $4,500 back

from that $10,000 that you used to buy that house. Then you have security deposits. Because you got renters, right? Yeah, it's already rented. Then you have security deposits that you also get. All right right? Yeah, it's already rented. Then you have security deposits that you also get. So, even though you came out with $10,000, you get

that back. And if you make $30,000 a year, for example, when you buy a rental property, and I'm talking about FHA program, 3.5% down, right? When you buy that rental property, you're going to be able to use two of the apartments as extra income

for yourself to qualify for that property. Is that called equity? No. It's, for example, if that property makes $4,500, you're supposed to live in one of the apartments, right? So they're going to use $3,000 for the other two apartments to help you qualify. So now instead of you making, for example, $3,000 a month, now you're making $6,000. So that helps you qualify for that property, even though you making for example $3,000 a month now you're making $6,000. So that helps you qualify for that property.

Even though you're only making $30,000 a year. And we're talking about rental properties right now. And that's with or without good credit? Or it doesn't matter? You need well FHA you can go as low as a 580 credit score. You need to have over 580. But that's the main question a lot of people don't know. Yep. Yeah because everyone thinks you

got to be 800 and 700. Wow. You do a 580 with FHA. And what's FHA? I'm just sorry. FHA is Federal Housing Authority. So it's a government loan. And it's only meant for first-time homebuyers.

But you could get an FHA loan. You could refinance, go conventional, right? Get a conventional mortgage. And then you could use that FHA again and only put 3.5%. Okay, so... You know, like maybe in another state or about 100 miles away

from where you had the other property. Okay, so like I was talking to you off the scenes and I was, like you know, I was in the mix of buying a condo

and a whole bunch of people that they hooked me up with, a lot of people was coming to me saying, yo, I'll buy it for you hard cash. What do they mean? What does that mean?

They coming in and just paying for it off top and then I owe them then, right? Correct? So, all right. Yeah, yo, I'll buy it for you hard cash. What do they mean? What does that mean? They coming in and just paying for it off top and then I owe them then, right? Correct? So, all right. So, hard money loans... That's not traditional. Not conventional.

It's not traditional. You have... They call it a hard money loan, private financing, you know, stuff like that. Those are different kind of loans because you kind of usually use those loans when you have to buy a rehab property so rehab meaning you have to rebuild because conventional they don't have a program like that to fix a property so you have to go hard money

fha does have one it's called the 203k loan but it's a little complicated and it's a little overwhelming. Because sometimes when a property needs complete rehab and it says cash, you got to close quick. So hard money is the best way because you can close in two, three weeks. And hard money, they don't necessarily care about your credit. They care about your deal. Because if you do lose

that property, they kind of want it. They get that property. It's pretty much based on equity with hard money. Hard money, most lenders don't even care about your credit score. As long as the deal makes sense,

don't go for it. They don't really look at your tax returns. It's just based on the deal. As long as it's a good deal, then they'll do the loan. Usually, you're talking about 10% down.

When I first started, it was 25% down, but now they got so many different programs. Everybody right now is in love with real estate. Everybody's from conventional banks to private, everybody wants to do real estate. So there's more programs now compared to when I first started. My first houses I had, I had the money, so I just paid it down. Now I'm realizing these

different ways of going. And how come that information just isn't available? Most people think you have to have 20% down or something like that. I think that's the way we were raised. I think even with my moms and my pops, they were always like, I don't want to owe nobody.

Just pay for everything. But that's not the case. You want to use as little as possible. Yeah, I actually fucked up doing that. But by the way, buying it outright. You put down as little as possible. Like we say, if you buy a crib and it's $100,000, let's say the crib is $100,000. Why put $100,000 down? up doing that but by the way but buying it all right you put down as little as possible like we

say if you you buy a crib and it's a hundred thousand dollars right let's say the crib is a hundred thousand why put a hundred thousand dollars down you put ten percent down so instead of buying one crib now you can buy ten cribs now those ten cribs let's say will bring you a thousand dollars a crib or fifteen hundred dollars a crib now you're making fifteen hundred times ten opposed to fifteen hundred just by one crib and then but'll tell you one thing. There's so many people that do it, celebrities, athletes, executives. Well, take 100 grand and make it. Just pay for everything out flat. Oh, okay.

And we have minimum cribs. And me and C's really sit down with a lot of people. You'll be surprised the amount of people who we sit down with and be like, yo, you're doing it wrong. You need to do it like this. And we go through and help them get their loans, help them refinance, pull money out, help them get cribs. And we charge them nothing.

Nothing. We charge them nothing. Pray some Cartier behind that. Pray some Cartier behind that. So, and you're talking about these are other celebrities that you do that for? Celebrities, executives, athletes, you name it.

The guy that's willing to put down 100 grand, instead of him putting down 100 grand, you should teach him. But it's no more than 100 grand. I know. A million, two million.

Okay, yeah. And they pay off a whole house with two million dollars. And be like, nah, you put down as minimum as possible

because now, instead of just buying that one property, you buy 10 properties. Yeah. And you have the money just coming in every month that pays for the properties.

You got a profit, you got a boat. So if anything happens and you're acting in football and basketball, softball, baseball, you still got. You got a boat. So if anything happens and you're acting in football and basketball, softball, baseball, you still got money coming in. Right.

So what about like places like in like Long Island and like Philadelphia? Because we're hearing you talking about, we know New York is shot. We already know that. Like New York is,

you got to really have some money to live in New York. But how about places like Long Island? Is there a place in Long Island? And how about even Philadelphia? Because we see you say in parts of Jersey. Philadelphia, I kind of don't think there's a lot there just because they have a lot of row homes.

So as far as for a rental standpoint, for rental properties, it kind of doesn't make sense. Right. Because over there, which we actually know somebody that has some property in Philadelphia, he makes $900. Now he wants to come by us. You get a rental property by us. You got three apartments

that's a throw his business out there how much did he pay for them homes? bro he paid what was it I think he's into it for like $180 for a row home now $180 a row home and how much is his profit every month?

bricks even and he put up millions for these row homes and he didn't understand the game so we're teaching him and what's row homes row homes is it's kind of like a townhouse it's kind of like a townhouse they have one two three four

like that so it's like two floors yeah that's how kind of like Baltimore similar just like Philly so for example right you buy one of those properties in Philly you make $900 a month if you rent it, right? $1,000. Wow. You come to Jersey, you spend 20, 30 grand more, you're making $5,000 a month.

Man. So now, after paying all your expenses, you're looking at almost two grand profit every month, $2,500 in Jersey. Wow. So, it's all different markets around the country. So basically, you're describing Jersey as almost a gold mine.

Not a gold mine, but close to it. Is there any other towns? Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago. Detroit. Chicago? Detroit. Everybody's just scared

to go to Detroit, man. It's just like, come on. You ain't going to get the average nigga to just go spend his money in Detroit. Detroit is even easier. I picked up a couple of homes in Detroit. I paid It's just like, come on. You ain't going to get the average nigga to just go spend his money in Detroit. I mean, Detroit is even easier. I picked up a couple of homes

in Detroit. I paid $15,000 for the homes. Word. And it's in the Boston Edison District, which is pretty close to downtown. Okay, I was just

playing about Detroit. No, we closed. I actually closed this Thursday, this Friday, and I sold two of my homes that I paid $15,000 for and we closed them

for $250,000. Oh, man. And all I did was pay the taxes. I'm in15,000 for and we closed them for $250,000. Oh, man. And all I did was pay the taxes. I'm in. I'm in. And shout out to Angela E. Angela actually got a crib that she lives in out there, right?

Yeah, yeah. Angela E. put me on to Detroit. So Detroit's a great market. Oh, wow. I'm going to try. I'm going to hit up and check it out with my niggas out there.

Word up. So did you say Atlanta, Detroit, and then what else you said? Chicago. Chicago, for real? Yeah. That's probably from... O-Block and all that shit, though. What is that?

The South Shore neighborhood, I think it is? South Shore? We got to invest in the South Shore? I don't know. They're supposed to put up the Obama Library. Oh, wow. So that whole area is going to be a goldmine. Oh, they're going to clean it up.

They're going to gentrify that shit. Yeah, they got to clean that up. Atlantic City is a great area. North Carolina is a great area. There's a lot of great areas out there that are growing. That are growing that you could put down

very minimum and sell. You just got to add a foresight. Like, you know, a lot of the areas, they all look like shit. Think about some of the areas that we lived in. Like, I don't know

last time you've been to Southside. Have you been to Southside recently? No, not recently. Not in the last six months. Southside has white women walking been to Southside. Have you been to Southside recently? No, not recently. Not in the last six months. Southside has white women walking dogs on Southside. They changed Southside up. You know what I mean?

There's a point where I'm like, this is not the way I grew up. But they're changing the area. Harlem, of course. Brooklyn, of course. And all these areas where it was fucked up and horrible, they really buy in the areas.

They push us out, put up these new duplexes and condos and cribs and put us to the fact that the places where we live, that was shit, look amazing. What do you think about Kanye? He got these domes. The fuck is he doing with these domes?

Is that his version of a nominati? I don't know what he's doing with these domes, man. It look weird, man. It look weird. It look like Total Recall. It look like there's some strange shit going on over there. You seen it? You seen it on the streets?

I saw it on Instagram. The Kanye domes? Yeah, I seen it on Instagram. It's a little weird, man. So is that something that you guys are interested in? I'm just freestyling right here. Let's suppose you, me, Envy, your brother, and a couple of others Put our money together Could we do something Like Kanye is doing

But not like A community Where we own The whole goddamn Yeah we're doing that We're doing that now But we're not doing domes Like

The biggest investment I made Was with Ceaser You know we had to We bought a school In Jersey Oh in Patterson I heard you on radio Talking about this

Yeah school was a million dollars Right Biggest investment in my life Because you know It's something that I really have to believe In my partner Because he does this So you Yeah, school was a million dollars, right? Right. Biggest investment in my life because, you know, it's something that I got, I really have to believe in my partner because he does this. So, you know,

we put up a million dollars and we're actually turning a school that's been closed for years to sitting there just looking like shit and we're turning it into low income and housing. So we're knocking it,

you know, pretty much stripping it down and... Is this the Lean On Me school? No, no, that school's still open. That school's still open. That's Eastside.

Eastside High. There's a lot of water though, I think, what you told me. You got to relax. There's not a lot of water, man. There's no water there, man. that's still open. That's east side. That's east side. There's a lot of water, though, I think. You got to relax. There's no water in the parents. You got to relax, bro. But there's water over there. But not that type of water. You're going to be sitting down.

You're gutting out the whole school. Yeah, gutting out the whole school. If you think about it, each classroom will be pretty much a unit. So each classroom will be a one-bedroom or two-bedroom like that. Three floors, four floors. Yep. Four floors, right? Yeah. But we're going to add two floors to it. You got to add balconies because you know

Patterson niggas smoke crack. It's just true. Those are my niggas. I shot the video there. I shot the video there. Right there. So Envy. We just recently because this episode probably ain't going to come out until

October or something but I want to first off happy birthday because you know what I mean yes yes happy birthday my brother because we Burgos

we Burgos we Burgos you know what I'm saying happy birthday that's what I like to say you got the we don't know how to pronounce that over here

we call it we call it the king's the king's path I call it the king's bedroom I don't know how to pronounce that over here We call it We call it the king's The king's path I call it the king's bedroom I don't know why But How do you pronounce it in French? I don't know

It's less than So I took 50 like I can't pronounce less than So we call it the king's path Let's stay there for a second How did you develop this relationship at 50? We both know that you're from Queens But just because you're from Queens

Doesn't mean we get along Yeah So how did y'all develop that relationship? You know at first Shout out to Fitbit I really didn't like Fitbit first And the reason I like him Is because he would give

Mr. C and Flex the records before me And I would just be mad And I just didn't really have A relationship with him You know he was from Southside And he was a little older than me And we didn't have a relationship And then we just got to chopping it up

And we kind of had the same goals. And he's one of those people that you can call for whatever and he's there. Not financially, like for advice. We know about financially. You don't want to owe him no money. Word up. In fact, Fip, I think you owe me some money, my nigga. I did two records for you, my nigga.

That's okay. He's that type of person, so we just started talking and he's just there for advice and when i was going through anything hardship that i was going through b for problems he would always call and just be there to just talk to me right and we just had a conversation and his whole goal which is crazy is family like he loves my family so he's like he wants to put that on the higher scales like he looks at the industry and was like we don't see this enough so he always pushes my family first.

So, I mean, even if I'm out of town and my daughter got a prom to go to, he's going to pop up at the house and make sure he sends it off. He's that type with me or whatever it may be. So, you know, Fifth is one of those guys. I don't have too many friends in the industry, I always say, but he's one of those friends that's my brother. Well, goddamn, we don't never get to hear shit like that about you, Fifth. We don't hear it.

We don't get to hear it. I fuck with 50 because you know why? He pulled up here, and when he pulled up here, he told the security, chill, I'm good. And I said, damn, nigga, trust me. I like that. I like that. Because, you know, as a street nigga, when another street nigga trusts you, that's like the ultimate respect. Like when he said, chill, nigga, I'm with Nori.

I'm good. I looked. I said, huh. I was like, all said, chill, I'm with Nori. I'm good. I looked, I said. I was like, I almost said, oh. I almost said, oh, I was going on Twitter. But look, all right. So we would like to hit y'all. Caesar, you a size nine?

Because we good people over here. We good people over here. So what has been your most headache of a rental or, like, you know, you selling a house to somebody or whatever, like, you collecting your payment. What has been the most headaches? Should we go nationally? Like, you know, like you say, Dominican or, you know, Puerto Rican or Colombian. Like, who's the worst tenants? You know what I mean? At this point, you can't really tell who's a good tenant or a bad tenant.

I have, you know, people from my community. It's like a sign. If a nigga eats sunflower seeds, is that a sign that he's not going to pay? Not really, man. You can't really base it on that because, know I had crazy Spanish tenants Crazy African American tenants I had Middle Eastern tenants That were crazy The craziest

I'm going to tell you a story real quick I had I think it was like my second property It was They were white Right The guy's name was Oh he ain't paying

And he calling the police on you No It was three in the morning Right Crazy white guys right? The guy's name was, I don't know. Oh, he ain't paying, and he calling the police on you. Yeah. No, it was three in the morning, right? Crazy white guys. And they're, they're high as hell. I knew it was like,

masculine, like crystal meth is in the story somewhere. Okay. It must've been. Okay. And then, Warren Patterson, right?

So, they're having a sword fight in the front lawn. Is this laser swords? No, real swords. Oh, with like metal ting-tings? Oh, okay. Real swords.

Like somebody figured, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I'm visualizing this shit. Let's go. My mother-in-law calls me. She's like, you got to call the cops. These guys are messing each other up.

And this is in your apartment? Yeah. Or outside? My mother-in-law lived on the first floor. Okay. And then they lived on the second floor. Okay, cool. And this is actually

like the good part of Patterson is the Hillcrest area which is mostly single family homes. It's not bad, right? So these guys are going at it with swords. They're cutting each other

and then I call the cops. After she told me can you call the cops and I'm like there's a couple white guys that are having a sword fight for the house. She's like what do you mean?

I was like they're fighting with swords. She's like, what do you mean? I was like, they're fighting with swords. She's like, the lady tells me, the dispatcher tells me, are they pirates? I'm like,

I don't fucking know. Can you send somebody over? They're not talking. Yeah. Right, boom. Hour later, they're still going at it. Oh, man. Call back.

I'm like, they're still fighting with the swords. Is somebody going to come over here? She's like, do they have guns? I'm like they're still fighting with the swords is somebody gonna come over here she's like do they have guns like no

just swords sir that's not a priority I'm like are you serious he's on the phone with me finally three hours later they come

and they already stopped fighting with the swords but the guy so high you know one of these white guys he was like

a survivalist I think he lived in the woods at one point and he's like I survivalist. I think he lived in the woods at one point. And he's like, I know my rights. You can't arrest me. And, you know, he's like, you know, fighting with the cops or whatever. And then they beat the shit out of him.

And it was a white guy. And they smacked the shit out of him. And then I swear to God, bro, when that guy came, they took him to the county. He came back to the apartment. I never heard a peep from him again. Wow. They must have kicked his ass and he got scared in the county. This guy was the best tenant after that day.

God, don't make some noise for him, man. 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 bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.

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

But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche

into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app,

So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort. You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little girl inside of me die. I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid. I laugh. You know, I love jokes. I love funny. I love laughing. I laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously. That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard. To hear this and more things on the journey of healing, you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. AT&T, connecting changes everything.

You pretty much have the same story. Do you have properties that you have on your own? Yeah, we have properties together. We have separate properties. And I mean, for me, I'm not even going to argue. First of all, yeah. We have properties together. We have separate properties. And I mean, for me, I'm not even going to... First of all, nobody knows what buildings I own. I know, but what's your worst tenant though? I think the best tenant, the tenant I would say,

first of all, is I have a lot of bartenders. Okay. And a lot of exotic dancers. Strippers? Okay. Strippers. Strippers, okay.

They pay in cash. They're the best tenants. Pay in cash. I get ones and fives and tens sometimes. But always on time. They're paying cash They're the best tenants Yeah okay Paying cash I get ones and fives And tens sometimes But Always on time Always on time

That's hot That's hot You know I haven't had No real bad tenants You know that's a good Recycling thing After you get paid Just go trip with them

And throw a couple hundred Like let's recycle it Let's recycle it It comes right back But That's the best I haven't really had No bad tenants like that

You know every once in a while Somebody loses a job And can't pay We try to help them out But the best. I haven't really had no bad tennis like that. You know, every once in a while, somebody loses a job and can't pay. We try to help them out. But other than that, I haven't had no bad crazy tennis. Now, moving around real quick, because although this is, right now we're in August,

but we've got to drop this for other times. But it made me think of something today because we had Nicki Minaj. We heard Nicki Minaj, and she was saying that she thought you was her friend, right? Correct, yeah, yeah. And at some point,

something switched. How do you separate, you know, you being friends with a person from you doing your job? Right. Well, that's the thing. I always say this. I really don't have too many friends

in the industry. Like, people throw that friend word around loosely. I didn't know me and Nicki were friends. I honestly didn't know that. And I always say when it comes to... But definitely associates. Yeah, you know, associates. I didn't know me and Nicki were friends. I honestly didn't know that. And I always say when it comes to... But definitely associates. Yeah, you know, associates.

I'm associates with everybody, but when I talk to friends in this industry, I talk about three people all the time. And that's, I wouldn't even say four. That's 50, Clue, Fabulous, and Joe Budden. Those are my friends that call me on my birthday, call me on my kids' birthdays, call me to check up on me.

Those are people I consider friends. When we have conversations, we have conversations outside of music. So those are people that are friends. So with Nicki, I think we started going left when I think Remy Martin did Sheetha. Okay, that's what she said. She said when a female artist made a certain record. Sheetha, right. Yeah.

And when Sheetha came out at the time, I was talking to her. Yeah, definitely played it. Talking to her. And I was like, yeah, I time, you know, I was talking to her. Yeah, I definitely played it. Talking to her. And I was like, yeah, I said, you know, you would take a shot. So I was like, you're a rapper. So let's rap. Like, I'm excited. And you were saying that to Nikki?

Yeah, I said it to Nikki. And then she told me to suck her dick. But, god damn. I mean, but that's Nikki. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready. You know, but that's Nikki. So I didn't take it personal.

I was like, all right, whatever. Wait, wait, wait. I just need to know how this came out. How did the dick come out? Like, she was like she was on the ball it was three years ago see I double-a cuz I remember where I was but I heard okay just told me this okay I didn't it's like I didn't is what is that's the last time we actually had a conversation or actually spoke three years ago see I double-a I just remember okay so that's what it was um and I didn't pay it no mind but it is what it

is um and then she threatened DJ self okay I just remember. Okay. So that's what it was. And I didn't pay it no mind, but it is what it is. And then she threatened DJ Self. Okay, that's the part I didn't understand. Okay, can you break that down? Because I see you took Self's problem. His back. Right. Excuse me.

What? Okay. Yeah, I see you took his back. Anybody knows that I'm a DJ and I'm from the era where, you know, artists would try to fuck you up. Like, honestly try to fuck you up. I mean, you hung a couple people upside down and, you know, this, that, and the other. But, you know would try to fuck you up. Honestly try to fuck you up. I mean, you kind of look a couple people upside down

and this, that, and the other. But artists would fuck you up, and I always thought it was whack. You know what I mean? Unless an artist did something personal to you, if he stole a record from you, or did something, a DJ stole something from you, then I get it.

But if he's just giving his own opinion, and you're just mad and say you want to slap the shit out of him, I just don't respect that. Okay, now I remember. It was Cardi B or Nicki Minaj song or the album came out at the same time. Yeah, something like that. And someone asked DJ Self which album did he like or which song did he like

more and he picked... Was that it? Cardi B, yeah, that was it. And I think Nicki replied, I'm going to send my niggas up to come see you. Right. And the thing with Nicki is we pretty much, I would say from the same kid. Yeah.

Shout the web and nitty web and nitty. Big up web and nitty. We're instrumental in Nikki's career. And they were instrumental in my career, instrumental in Fab, Joe Button, Clues career. Like web is locked up.

Shout the web. Like that's my brother. Like if you need me for anything, your web is locked up. He comes home next year, but that's my brother. So when she said it, it really hit a nerve.

Cause I'm like, not going to pick on a DJ. But you know what I mean? You're not going to pick on a DJ Like you know what I mean You're not going to pick on a DJ Like if you got a problem With somebody Take it to that person Just because a DJ says He likes the record

Nah And you're 100% sure It was for his opinion Yeah it was for his opinion I heard the whole thing And that was my whole thing I'm like nah You don't do that

Because I'm not confronting He got some wild queens boys That will fuck a nigga up Shoot a nigga in a minute Like Without a doubt And you know And is it worth it because he gave his opinion So I'm like nah, so I stood up for him. I'm like until they fix that I'm not playing her record no more They need to fix that and and you know, there's a rumor spread that she was banned

Yeah, well, I just said when I say I'm not everybody says it's bad breakfast a band But I said I'm not playing your record no more. And you know, we're syndicated in 92 markets, so me not playing a record is big. I'm like, until you fix that situation. Because it's like with you, you and Clue had a problem, right?

And when you and Clue had that problem, I wasn't necessarily fucking with you because I was like, you need to fix that problem. At the end of the day, we, you know, we DJs, you know, if we do something disrespectful,

we have the conversation, but if you want to slap a nigga face off or shoot a nigga or stab a nigga, I just don't respect it. Yeah, I don't get what it means. I don't actually believe in that either. So at the end of the day, Steve Stiles sat on this show and said to me in my face, he said, sometimes I think you went hard. And that's basically saying, nigga, I kind of thought you was whack. Like, I don't care about a person's opinion.

So, but there's certain things, like if a person is wrong, they have to be wrong as a DJ or wrong as an artist. You know what I'm saying? So, in certain situations, in certain instances with DJs that I had problems with was because they were wrong

and was because I gave them several chances because one thing for sure, two things for certain, I can't live without DJs. One hand washed the other, both hands washed the face. So, the MC and the DJ goes hand in hand.

I've always known that. But at times, MV, a DJ, now you may have not done this, but DJ takes advantage of their power. Correct.

You know what I'm saying? I've seen plenty of DJs. I say, yo, look, please, if you're not going to do that, then don't use the record because I'll go give it to somebody else and they'll make a movie of it. And I've seen plenty of DJs. I say, yo, look, please, if you're not going to do that, then don't use the record because I'll go give it to somebody else and they'll make a movie of it.

Right. And I've seen plenty of DJs take the record knowing that I've got the upper hand because I'm on you. I've got to go to that club Monday night that you're in and then still do it

and then think that I just... So, what I'm saying is you might not have done that because you haven't done nothing. Don't think the whole generation has because I'll be honest with you. You know, I'm older now. The last thing I want to do

is step on a person's toe. Like, I want to stay away from violence so much, but I can't sit back and say I was dumb for certain things I did. Certain things I did were warranted because of the disrespect and because of the abuse of power. Right.

You understand what I'm saying? Like, sometimes when a person gets power, like, it's just like the rent-a-cop that works at Walmart. It's the same nigga. He's like, hey, let me see your receipt. Like, nigga, I ain't even finished.

Like, I'm holding shampoo. What are you? I'm holding shampoo. Like, what are you talking about? I got my receipt. You know what I'm saying? So, it's the same exact thing and the thing is,

it's about balance. So, I 100% agree with you. Like, me personally personally i'm pro artist i'm the same as the same exact way you feel i'm pro artist but at the same token i know artists right yeah i cannot i cannot sit around and be like yo i'm on his team one million percent because i know he's a fully percent right i gotta say i'm on his team and i gotta say but i understand that he might have some flaws to that.

You know what I'm saying? And that's the real shit, you know? So let's get back to that. So, okay, you said you didn't see... He put his hand on,

he didn't want to play the music. Yeah, I said I wasn't playing, I wasn't supporting her until she fixed that situation. Now, when you came to that conclusion, did you tell the people in the room?

Do people know or do you expect? No. He said it on the radio. I heard it on the radio. I'm not somebody that got to get opinions or whatever.

And that's the same thing with Clue. Clue is my brother. Clue is my brother. He put me into this game. He opened me up to it. He helped me out. So if anybody goes at him,

unless he talked about somebody, and that's not Clue's character, because Clue, he's a quiet person. He just does his own thing. He plays basketball, does his DJ shit, and that's it. So if you go at him, he talked about somebody and that's not Clues' character. He's a quiet person. He just does his own thing. He plays basketball, does his DJ shit, and that's it. So if you go at him, I'm like, why you

going at that man for? That man is just doing this for whatever. So if you go at him, yeah, I take it personal because that's my brother. And that's how it should be with your brother and your family. And that's how it is. But you also got to say, yo, listen, I mean, that's been plenty of times I went for it with my brother, and as soon as we left, I'm like, yo, nigga, you wrong.

Oh, yeah, I was. Nigga, we just got washed. Nigga, fuck. Well, your shit, nigga. We came back, and I just walked the nigga and all this crazy shit. But nigga, you know you fucked the bitch? Like, did you really walk the nigga? I fucked the nigga.

You're wrong. Yeah, I mean, clue. You know what I'm saying? Like, for real. And clue the same. Clue, of course, maybe like your son. You're wrong. But that's how we should be.

You know what I mean? That's how I am with Capone. With Capone. I go to war with Capone. But then when we go home me and be like, yo, son, you wrong. But that's how we should be. You know what I mean? That's how I am with Capone. With Capone, I go to war with Capone, but then when we go home, I'm like, yo, nigga, did you really have to do that?

But if Self stole a record or did something like that, I'd be like, yo, bro, you're on your own. You got to fix that yourself. But just for giving your opinion, and I give my opinion every day long. No, I respect that.

You know what I mean? I give my opinion on everything all day long. So that's like somebody being mad about that. And you got to think, like some of these guys haven't been through

a lot of the shit that I've been like, niggas shot up my car six times I mean for me and I'm back in that highway things and shot at me and like I've been through it You're like big and chase me and in Hampton University like I've been through So it's like to see somebody over over opinion. Just see a biggie chasing you right now I don't understand. What happened? Hold on.

Let's take it there. Hold on. Was Big running? No. What happened was... He had a slow job. It was two things that I did. One, I played my downfall on my mixtape before anybody else.

It was the unfinished version. And two, I played Tupac. That's why I fucked your bitch. I played that shit. Hit him up. Hit him up. Hit him up. I played those two things. So when Big and C's had a show on Hampton University campus, they was running around

looking for me. Wow. And I got low. Wow. I'm no fool. I got low. God damn it. God damn it.

It was what it was. But I wasn't wrong. I disrespected them. I played stuff that I wasn't supposed to. So if they didn't got me, I would have to take that. Right. But if it was just me saying, yo, I just don't like that record from Big, and they stepped to me, then that's foul.

Rob Markman How do you balance that? Because you just explained your relationship with 50 Cent, but then you just had a wonderful interview with Ja Rule and Irv Gotti. You guys laughed, you guys talked. Do you ever feel awkward? Because I don't feel awkward about either one of them niggas But I don't know how Neither does Fat Joe

I don't feel awkward And I know Irv and Ja a long time But I know 50 a long time But I don't feel awkward And 50 never comes up to me And says anything And Ja and Irv Never say anything about it

My relationship with 50 Is a little deeper Because I really never knew Ja And it's crazy We all from the same hood But when Ja got When he got his hit Ja was gone Oh crazy, we all from the same hood, but when Ja got, when he got his hit, Ja was gone. Oh yeah, he ain't fuck with none of us. He ain't fuck with nobody.

And then he was actually using Irv as the outlet. So I didn't have a relationship with Ja, so when Ja wasn't as popular, as popular as he was, there was no connection. It was like, why would I help you, nigga? You ain't even, you charged me $30,000 for a record and it was a four-year-old record.

But now we have a relationship and it's good now. But back then, we just really didn't have a relationship. So there was no connection to help him out. But let's say you call me and say, I got a new record. I'm going to help you out because I have a connection. We have a connection. So I'm like, even if I don't like the record,

I'm going to give it a shot. But for some people, it's like, I don't have that connection. Let's go do how you do it. And is it like that with you with the real estate? Like if somebody called you that you hate them as a rapper? They say, yo, I want some real estate advice. I say one thing, though, not to cut him off, but he's another loyal nigga.

Like if there's somebody that I don't fuck with or I have a problem and they go around me to try to reach out to him, he'd be like, no, we're not fucking with him. Like he's a loyal nigga to the team. I'm from Jersey, too. That's what I'm saying. I'm from Pasadena. Right, right. But is it like that? Do you have to genuinely have to fill the person

to be in business with them? No, definitely, man. Especially, you know, it's been a couple occasions. People reach out to me, and I'm kind of like, uh, you know. But it all depends. But if I can help somebody and just give them advice, I'll pretty much talk to anybody. Right. But as far as doing business with everybody, like, and I'm not even looking for that, you know.

Right. But, you know, I want to help as many people as possible. But if I don't like your music, I might not mess with you. Right, right. Real shit, God damn it. Real shit. So, okay. I understand you guys have bought a strip club as well? Yeah, we bought a gentleman's club. I want to get down. I don't want to be like the browns or something.

The gentleman's club. Can I invent? I'm going to say invent. Can I invest? That was done but we're always looking looking for them. We bought a strip club in a gentleman's club in Jersey. In Patterson? Yeah. We need extra security. Nah, it's a nice area,

but it's not only a strip club. It's a liquor store, a gentleman's club, and then there's units of apartments upstairs. So the apartments pretty much pay your mortgage. And then whatever you make

from the strip club and the liquor store. Let's get a barbershop somewhere you roll dice and that shit is the hood you make from the strip club Let's get a barber shop Somewhere you roll dice And that shit is the hood Like inside the hood That's hard It's pretty dope But we're going to change it

So it's not going to be a liquor store anymore We're going to make it a wine and spirit store Make it a little better You know we're going to expand the club a little bit Open it up a little bit Make it nicer where people want to come And just make it a You know I go to all these clubs

And I get to see the good clubs And the bad clubs The clubs I like So we take a little bit of everything that we like and put it into that. But it pays for itself. So it's not like we got to open right now to make money. Like the tenants pay for it. So are the tenants happy to live up top?

Yeah, but that was my next question. Like a bartender. I don't know yet because it's not open. Yeah, we don't know yet. When the music starts happening, we'll see how they feel. One tenant might be like, I love this place. Wait, hold on. What did you say?

But they've been there long term, all the tenants upstairs. Oh, yeah? I think they're mostly men, actually. They might not. But can you soundproof a club? Like you can soundproof a studio? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can do that?

Oh, that's hard. Yeah. That'd be a way. Just a certain kind of installation you have to use. Okay. But how are you going to... Because, again, one of the things that I lost most money... When I...

I used to live in West Orange. And I had got a studio... Not Saddlebrook. I got the studio a little way. I forget where it was. So I bought a studio that way. And I also had a studio in Long Island City. It was before Long Island City was up.

Yep. So the problem that I faced is the reason why I had to go get a studio that way. And I also had a studio in Long Island City. It was before Long Island City was up. Yep. So the problem that I faced is the reason why I had to go get a studio in Manhattan. The problem that I faced is nobody wanted to go to Queens and nobody wanted to go to Jersey. Right. The one thing that I had in common when I made my money back was going to Manhattan. How do you convince people to come to Jersey for this? You new thing? It's easy. If you think about it, if you partied in New York, you know that there's no clubs in New York no more. They pushing the clubs to the outer boroughs. They pushing you to

go to Queens. They pushing you to go to Brooklyn. They pushing you to go to Jersey. It's easy. The city don't necessarily want that in their city. They don't want us partying in their city. They close damn near every club uptown or making it close at 2 o'clock. So it's pretty easy now. 2 o'clock now? A lot of clubs got to close at 2 o'clock uptown now.

No way. I didn't know that. The fuck? Miami out here, 6 a.m. Goddamn. Make some noise for y'all motherfucking

exes. They out here on cocaine heavy out here. We throwing it out there, man. I'm just throwing it out there. They party all night out here. Now, is y'all looking for property in Miami?

Because Miami is sexy. Yeah. You got a couple of properties in Miami. Usually, I think Miami is more of a flipping market, not the rental side of it, because the way houses are built, they're a little different here. You might get a one family with maybe a studio. You guys aren't really built up like that. So that's why I think it's mostly flips down here.

So you set up within the 45 days? At least 60 days. I've done about in the last 12 years I've probably done about maybe 10 flips here. I got a question.

How hard is it here or is it for the multi-family homes inside Florida? That's a good question. I was going to cut you off. That actually is the question I want to ask. Jesus, yeah, for real.

You guys inspire me, honestly. I've been looking, and as far as I see here, is we have duplexes. Yep. Or we might have... Wait, in Hialeah, you got duplexes? Yeah. Because I don't go to Hialeah, so I mean, I don't know.

I go to Little Haiti. I looked at like a four unit one and they were asking I can't hear you here. That's what we're looking at. We're looking at units like that. There's units everywhere, not as many.

But you know what he does is he's on those sites, auction.com, hubzoo.com, like they put Zillow? Is Zillow good? No.

Zillow and Realty.com is retail. Like if you really want to get in the house you shouldn't be looking at that because now you're buying retail. That's how you know I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. But that's what we're trying to teach people. There's not as much multifamily homes in New Jersey. That's why the first time you came in, you were saying the gold mine is in New Jersey. The gold mine is in New Jersey, and I've always kept that in my head.

And I see that over there. You guys get two multifamily homes, three for $300,000 for the price of a single family home. So I just want to salute y'all for that. I appreciate it, man, for the knowledge. You guys are really, people are hating on y'all

for putting in on the game. For real. I mean, the people that's usually hating is the people that's doing it and charging too much money. That's the other people that's doing the seminars.

But you also got to think like this, when it comes to those units or what we're trying to do is, it's just a matter of teaching people how to do it. It's like, you got to look at it like this. I seen a nice car you have outside, right?

When you buy that car, you ain't say, when the dealer said $165, you be like, all right, I'll take it. You be like, nah, $150. I was a little loose. We got to have a conversation. You know, one thing I learned about him, he's the cheapest nigga I know.

No, no, no, I'm going to learn that from him. And Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee too thing I know. No, no, no. I'm going to learn that from him. And Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee, too. It's Dominican. Oh, shit. Dominican. I'll keep a Dominican with me. He's the cheapest.

Like, you know, I'm trying to buy a couple of houses, a house right now to live in in New Jersey to move out of my house. And he won't let me buy. Like, he's like, no, that's retail. You got to go under. But he's like, the house is, let's say, five million. Like, or from three, nah, that's retail. We got to go under. But he's like, the house is, let's say,

five million, like, or from three. I'm like, they're not going to take it, but that's how he is, man. And he does this for a living. And that's what I learned. Like, everything is,

you never play retail prices. Wow. Do you receive any hesitation being that you're Envy and people talk to you about, about investing? I love it. Like, I was on South Beach.

We were at a Katana, I think it was. We was at Katana eating and this girl, she got a bikini on she got a huge Fake breasts huge fake ass comes up to me up. Oh my god. She must not know I'm married But she came down it was like can I ask you a question like what's up? She's like so me and my boyfriend I want to buy a house And she started asking questions and I know look crazy because she's in a bikini But she was asking about real estate and it just made me smile and me happy because she's sitting here and I'm like we're talking about credit and how much to put

Down but she's getting it and that's that's what I love like I don't like don't I Understand as a million-to-one rappers and million producers. That's cool But when they come and talk to me about real estate, we can sit there talk all day because I love giving people that information. You're doing the right thing and people are really paying attention to you. That's what it is. You'll come up on some money and they don't know how to invest. You know? So investing in land

is the best thing you can do. And we just want to own everything too. We try to own everything. That's our new thing. Like, you know, even when my car shows, I own it.

There is no promoter. There is no backer. I do it all by myself. You have a car show coming up. I have a car show coming up in Jersey. It's going to be on the road. So we're going to do it out in Miami. The day after my birthday, September 7th.

That's right. We're going to do it in Atlanta. We're going to do it in Detroit. We're going to do it everywhere, you know. But I own it. And not only do I own it, not like a lot of these other suckers that do car shows, I'm actually giving back to the communities. Like, we're doing toy drives.

We're teaching people. A lot of these times, you know, when we do, I don't want to say it. I'm going to the communities. Like, we're doing toy drives. We're teaching people. A lot of these times, you know, when we do, I don't want to say it, but I'm going to say it. When we do these seminars and people can't afford it and they really can't afford it but want to get the knowledge,

we'll sit there and talk to them on the phone forever. We'll email back and forth because we want to give people that knowledge. Like, we do the backpack giveaways. We do the drives.

We actually take two kids where we got now and actually have them with us and going to help them buy their first house, like walk them through it, fix their credit for them, help them with the down payment

and we're doing that and we don't get paid for that shit. It don't mean nothing. Like, we're doing it to give back, you know what I mean? Paul and Son. Paul can't?

He can't? What the fuck? Oh, God. Yeah, like, one time I had a guy that reached out to me. No, no, no. He don't drink.

He don't drink. He wanted to come down to, I think it was the AC Center. Take one, God damn it. What the fuck, man? What the fuck you here for? You better take one, God, no. He don't drink. He don't drink. He wanted to come down to, I think it was the AC Center. Take one, God damn. What the fuck, man? What the fuck you here for? You better take one, God damn. Come on. Hold on, my bad. Yo, listen. I don't know if you know, but our show

was about bigging people up. We don't come here and do gossip and do all that shit. So many people want to say how great you are after something happens to you or something, you know, you go away. I want to say you're great now. I want to say you brothers are doing an awesome job and I salute you right now. I'll give you flowers so you can smell them, you know what I mean?

Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute.

Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. Salute. I mean, it never gets better. It never gets better. I'm sorry, what you were saying? When we had an event down in Atlantic City, this guy hit me up on Instagram. He's like, bro, asking me questions. I'm going back and forth with him. And then he tells me, I really want to go, man, but I just came home.

I can't afford it. And I was like, bro, just come down. Don't even worry about it. And after the show, I'll sit down with you and try to help you out as much as I can. Because the admission is free? No, it was free. You got to pay for admission. I told him, bro, just come down for free

and I'll help you out as much as I can. I spoke to the guy. I actually go back and forth with him. He's about to buy his first home. He just came home. He just came home. That was probably about six months ago. Goddamn. Goddamn.

Is that something that's fulfilling for you when you help somebody make their first home? A thousand percent. Me and him have been going back and forth about it and we're going to kind of have seminars. We're trying to do something with the city right now. We're trying to just figure out where people just came home, how to invest in real estate

because I would love to be a part of that. That's a good connection. I'm not We're trying to just figure it out where people just came home, how to invest in real estate. I'm a good connection. I don't have a fancy degree. I'm a street dude. All my friends, I graduated from high school. They went to college. I chose the streets.

So like I said, I don't have a perfect record. I feel like you might take a shot of Tiger Bone. You know that's all natural. It's herbs. It's herbs. You know that? It's organic. It's organic.

You know he's selling his juice ball. You didn't know he can't sell alcohol to the juice ball. But continue. Just in case. Just in case.

It's there. It's available. A lot of people always ask me that. Oh, I have a criminal record. Can I buy a house? Can I do this? Because they're used to the known, the hardship.

A hundred percent you could. You know, so that's kind of one of the things where I think our seminars eventually we're going to try to do stuff in the community where people that just came home and try to teach them how to invest in real estate because there is a better way. Wow. You know what I mean? Because the streets ain't what they used to be. Hold on.

Let me ask you something. A friend of mine the other day told me that he went to insure his jury. And as he insured his jury, they told him he can't because he had a criminal record. Have you ever heard of that? I've never heard of that. I mean, insurance companies can insure you if they want to. If not, if there's a claim on you before or if there's a robbery in your past, they can decide not to insure you. Oh, maybe that's what it was. It was a robbery.

I mean, my house was burglarized one time. That's why, you know, I have like three, four dogs at the house now. So hop over the gate if you want now. Yeah. But it was burglarized. And, you know, they stole, you know, probably about $700,000, $800,000 worth of my wife's jewelry. Wow. So, you know, now when we try to insure,

you know, insurance companies give us a hard time because they're like, well, how do we know you didn't do it before? How do you know you wasn't involved? So, you know, a lot of times you got to get around and have an umbrella policy and things like that. And my house was secure. So I really think it was one of the alarm security people that knew how to get down.

I mean, the dude, there was only one door in my house that didn't have the alarm system. He knew where that door was. He hopped on the second floor, climbed. Then he crawled under the cameras. So he crawled

under the car where the fucking heat thing wouldn't pick him up. He had to know that. And I got it all on my phone. I could see him. You know what I mean?

But I wasn't home and he crawled through that. What, he had a mask on? Mask on and everything. And then when he hopped out He ran through the forest. I live you know, I have a huge lot and um, the cops are scared to go in the woods It was like now we wait for the dogs by that time dude is gone You know me but but that's why I like I said now I got about you know, three four dogs and you know

Roman the property so if you pop in that gate, they not playing. And you be training them too. I'm training them every day. Now I was on vacation. My daughter actually walked in on them. What? Yeah, so when she opened the door, when you open the door, the alarm starts to beep, beep. He bust out my bedroom and was running.

So just imagine if... Wait, wait, wait. I really understand this. Because that's how your door opens all the time? Like when you open it? When you open the door, you know, alarm starts to beep, beep. So when she opens it, beep, okay. Yeah, so she's about the type of Nicole and all she sees is somebody runs out the The crib my bedroom so you run out the bedroom and he runs so she runs back in the car

We just had came back from vacation I was doing a show and dude hopped over the fence that came down and ran in the woods So we call the cops immediately cops came and they were scared to go in the woods. Oh, that fast? That fast. But they found out who it was and it was that dude? We got, well, they never found a person. I mean, they never found a person. Some of the jewelry popped up in different places. Like pawn shops and shit like that.

Karma going to get us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all good. Shit happens. Wow, that's crazy, man. God bless. God bless. Nobody got hurt, so that's all that matters.

Right. So, I mean, shit, you know, that was part of the reasons, not that in particular, but that was part of the reason why I started hating houses. Like, it was just too big. Like, I had a house one time and I didn't see my mother

for like four days. She lived there. I just OD'd. I played myself. I'm just thinking like, that's like, you know, they're like, yo, this is Eddie Murphy crib.

I'm like, you know what? Let me buy a crib here. Let's just do it shit was no need for no need for nothing and I would get receive fives because I'm you know at this time I would go on tour for six months so I would come back and I would have like just nothing but bills on my shit yeah you know um because of I forgot the motor of the fucking lawn I didn't know you were supposed to do that from left rack city like I forgot the motor of the fucking lawn. I didn't even know you were supposed to do that. I'm from Left Rock City, nigga. I forgot to fucking do it. It was just dumb shit. I was just like, ah, man.

You know what I mean? But yeah, so that's the reason why I love condos. But moving on. Now, in Jersey, that's a business that's not, it's untapped. There's no great condos in Jersey, is there? Not really, man. You know what's funny? I think we were

talking about it yesterday. You go around the country and most places, they're not really building condos anymore. It's all luxury rentals. Miami. Just Miami, New York,

and maybe LA a little bit. Yeah. That's pretty much it. How about Detroit? Envy, are they building condos out there? Nah, it's more just regular houses.

You know what I mean? It's just houses. And there's a lot of apartment buildings in Detroit that's not that expensive. These work, though. I mean, It's just houses. And there's a lot of apartment buildings in Detroit that's not that expensive. These work, though. I mean, you can pick up. I was looking at 151 units yesterday, and they wanted 600,000?

600,000 for it. But you think about it. Wait, the whole shit? The whole shit. How many units is in there? Let's get down. 151 units. 151 units.

Let's make them shit global friendly. The best buy curtains, we go, that's the best shit in the world. We go, and your curtain go like that. You like, yo, nigga. Let me tell you, that's why we never go in business with Nori. Nori's already overpriced his stuff. He wants curtains that go down, porch floors with a pool in the middle. I'm just saying, nigga.

You want to keep it as durable as possible Because people are gonna be Living there You know people And when it's not theirs People fuck your shit up So you don't necessarily Wanna put something in there That's gonna be too

You don't wanna put a chandelier In there and you come back And the chandelier's Not everybody wants a luxury You know what I'm saying Right I mean it can look nice But it doesn't have to be

As expensive as this You stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in LA Yeah yeah yeah It's the best It is They curtains I was like I like your thing I gotta stay there For the curtains Just go like this LA one before? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the best. It is. They curtains.

I was like, I like your thing. I got to stay there for the curtains. It's good like this. And this shit goes up, man. And they say your name on the television. I ain't going to lie.

That's one of my favorite hotels of the Waldorf. I got about 200,000 points there. So just in case y'all want to throw me some more. Birthday coming up. Damn, my birthday going to be already done

by the time it's come out. But okay. So now, what is the easiest? Easiest. Is it flipping or is it renting it out? I think if you're first starting and you don't have a lot of money, I would definitely go with a rental property. Rental.

I would take advantage. If you're a first-time home buyer, I would take advantage of the FHA program, 3.5% down, low credit score, and start with that. Then after that... If we're talking about the average human being, the average person that don't got it, what does they have to save up? What is the FHA program? FHA program is 3.5% down. So let's say, for example, if it's $300,000,

you're talking about $9,000, $10,000 around there, what closing costs me, like about $14,000. But like I said before, at the beginning of the show, if it's a rental property, you get a lot of that money back anyway. And if you don't have the funds, you can also get a gift from a family member. They could give you the down payment, like your mom, dad, cousin. As a gift, that's it. They could give you the down payment for that property. Right.

And that's non-taxable as well, right? Yeah, it's non-taxable. Yeah. My accountant put me on to some shit like that. I think rental property is a really good way

to start with. Okay. Always, when you first start, you should always buy a multi-family. Don't buy a single family. Okay. I tell people that a lot

because start with a multi-family then get another one get another one maybe by the fourth one you already could afford a nice ass single family instead of starting

that's what I'm getting into right now me and you we're going to get two or three double family I'm coming up and I'm riding in the car I already realized

I'm going to park my car and just jump in with you god damn it god damn it god damn it that's number one you smoking my brother I don't know I don't know that's a guy I offer you man Idamn it. That's number one. You smoking my brother?

I don't know. That's a guy out for you, man. That's my manager, John. I know that nigga for years. He ain't give me a five when he walked in. You need a lighter? You need a lighter? He been managing me since I was 17.

I want everybody to goddamn live. Let's make everybody goddamn live. Now, I recently had Nas on, right? And the investment game for him has worked tremendously, right? Is that something or is that something you guys are

comfortable with? Like, investing into a ring before it's a ring, a lift before it's lift or you would rather keep your money where it's safe? I love real estate, man. I like to know that if I put this much in, I'm getting this much back. There's no in between.

If the property cash flows and it makes money every month or the property is worth more, that doesn't change. Stock market, I understand it, but I'm not really into it because I've seen a lot of people that lost a lot of money. In stock market? Yeah.

Yes. And T-Pain was just recently on your show, and he said he lost 40 million. In real estate? In Atlanta? No, no. He said he lost 40 million in total. Give me the envelopes. Tell me.

Give me the envelopes out of there. I got to say, Gucci Bad, but your shit is mad cleaner than mine. Yo. He lost 40 million and that was, he was buying crazy. He was also,

he was buying cars, buying jewelry. He bought one chain that was like $500,000. Oh yeah, I remember that. Big ass chain. Big ass chain. Yeah, he spent a lot of money

buying things and then he lost money in real estate and the reason he lost money in real estate is he bought retail, the housing market fell and his shit was worth nothing

So so he was he was at those at that point now. I just want to show you what the arm Not damn it. Good boy. I owe you money So like you know how to rent comes First of all shout out to Luchi which is his brother Yeah we bring him in in a second That's my man That's another reason why I respected what he did When I went to his office It kind of made me feel a way

And I'm going to tell you why It was dope how he had his family working for him I know we all got family members they call asking for money And I'm like I loved it because He had his brother doing this he had his cousin doing this

he had his sister-in-law doing this his sister his wife doing this and I'm like he got this big business where he keeps

the money in the family where he ain't got a paying nigga to do this and they all make money and they all are making money for the same cause and I'm like

that's dope that's what we need to do more. And I was like, that's what made me feel the way. But I want to show people, let me talk about it. This is all real. So if you look at properties, like you see, if you have a different unit, like I have a nine unit that he just paid me for yesterday. So it goes like this.

So this is one of my properties. This is one of the floors. This is a one bedroom. It's $850. So that's how we get our money. Are we going to a strip club with that tonight? Nah, nah, nah. So you know, that's $850. Have you ever heard get our money. So this is like the strip club with that tonight But it's all honest this one is six years 650 will pay this one in another week that's 1254 units So that's $650. You know me and I want to show people this really like oh, no, that's bullshit

No, this is really you see me to pull it from the book bag. That's $650. And he owe you $50? He said he owe you $500. No, he owe me $600. See, that's another thing. Like, when people are fucked up, you can give them a shot. You can give them a chance. You know, you got to be no dickhead, like, get the fuck out.

Right. Like, you know. Because he was short $50 last week. Right. Okay. And this one is $1,400. This is the third floor. You know what I mean?

It's the real money. You know what I'm saying? But it's all real shit. It's not like, this is real shit that we doing and we're not scared to put up the numbers because we really want people to learn that's why I don't pull the bags you can actually see how that money comes in every single between the first and the fifth is my favorite times of the month it's just here you know but you can't go yeah y'all can't go get it you gotta get you know his

brothers our property property goes and gets that like they don't going to get a kid You know his brother Is our property manager He goes and gets that Like they don't call me When a toilet is leaking Or a window is broken Don't call me for nothing Just give me the money Between the first and the fifth Alright

So a first time home buyer Does have to get those calls And fix the toilet Nah they can get a property manager You can get a property manager You know what That's the part of the business A lot of people are scared of

They don't want to get into They don't hire a property Because they don't want To be a landlord right But at the end of the day, you get a property manager, they charge you peanuts. It's like 5% off the rents. You know, just to give you a quick example, probably $50 an apartment.

And you don't have to deal with none of the headaches. You know, it... But the property manager costs stay the same no matter how many properties you get? Yeah. It's a percentage. Actually, the more properties you have, the more units you give them, the cheaper it's supposed to be. Right.

Yeah, but we're not going into no cribs. We're not fixing nothing. I don't even want to know. Didn't a lady just get shot? Yeah. I heard it on your show. He is. She got shot.

She had a tenant that was there and they believed that maybe he was behind in the rent and maybe she went to get Brent and maybe he shot her and killed her or whatever it was. She was a famous woman. Yeah, she was a famous woman. Yeah, famous woman. At DC? I'm not sure where it was, but she lived there, I think, in the south somewhere. Right.

But that was what it was. And we just don't want to be in that situation where somebody does, you know. And he goes with armed security to make sure he gets paid. So everybody's covered. All right. God damn it, man. God damn. That's real shit, man.

Look, I have a question. Yeah. I mean, no one can hate you, nigga. I'm just being honest. It's okay. You're talking to the Tiger Bowl, nigga. It doesn't matter. Last time I saw you, Cesar, and I spoke to you, and you was telling us, and he actually

asked this question a while ago. I don't think we got the answer, though. It was about the luxury apartments in Miami, in particular, and I think you said they overbilled. Yes. Something like that. Right. So do you think that's, because that wasn't that long ago. That's got to still be the reality now, no?

Oh, yeah. It's pretty. You guys are definitely heading for a big correction in the market. Is that good for the renter? Or is it going to be good for the renter? Because it can't be good for the owner.

Nah, it's not going to be good for the renter. It's going to be good for us, the investors. You know what I noticed, though? Pardon me for changing the subject a little bit. What I noticed, though,

like all these nice buildings out here, they rent was like $26,000. And now because of, for some reason, this last year, they rent was like $26,000. And now because of, for some reason, this last year, that shit is like, you get like a five bedroom condo

with like a basketball court and your shit for like $12,000 a month right now. Right. They overbuild it. So when they overbuild... But they won't sell it for that. Right.

They won't sell it for for like, you know, less than... I suppose that you bought the condo for $4 million. They won't sell it for less than, I suppose that you bought the condo for $4 million. They won't sell it for less than $3.4 or something like that, but they'll rent it. And you'll have the illest rental property, but that shit ain't yours when you leave. So that shit is just crazy. They can kick you out at any time. I don't like that. Right now, this was actually

on CNBC the other day, you guys have about 18 years of inventory. That's how many luxury units are out there right now. Meaning, there'd be empty ones

for 18 years. Empty for a long time because most of the demographics that were buying all these properties cash in Miami, their economies have tanked

between Brazil Venezuela Russia whenever the coke price go up shit go get fucked up well you know I think Mexico

that's still good they're still buying niggas ain't gonna touch on that everybody like hold up what did you just say what did you just say

coke price well I mean it's kind of true out here it is like I know when the coke is fucked up. The shit is out here. You can buy an ounce of $50.

You can buy an ounce of weed for $50. But then when the shit is real, you're like, oh, all right. I went too far. I'm sorry. Let's go. What were you talking about? You definitely, the next couple years, man, you're going to see a lot of those combos drop by a lot. No, I'm seeing it right now.

Like the Porsche building, for instance. The Porsche building, I mean, when that shit first opened, everybody, and that's my view actually. Like my view is actually the Porsche building. So when they was like opening it up and did the fireworks and shit, and Swiss was there, and Alicia Keys there, I'm texting Swiss, nigga, that's my view. Like I'm actually seeing you lighting the firecrackers. And it's, you know, when the Porsche building first built, it was wonderful. But then it brought the property value so much up that everyone is building around there.

Yeah. Everyone's leaving the fucking Porsche building now. Yeah, because now you got so much new inventory. Yeah. Right? It's one of those things, right? All right, you bought this building. You bought an apartment here, right?

And you're like, oh, it's off the hook. right alright you bought this building you bought an apartment here right and you're like oh shit you know it's off the hook it's brand new but then two weeks later a month later you got another building here

that's brand new another one here another one there and it's the same building but cheaper cause they build it they build it it's a more desperate

yeah exactly same as that Porsche building right next to it it just don't got the Porsche building but it has the same shit like people one thing about the Porsche building that's fucked have the same shit. Like, people... One thing about the Porsche building that's fucked up is,

you know, your car brings you to your... Yeah, yeah. The parking lot. Yeah, yeah. But what happens if the elevator's broke? Oh, my man does fix the elevators. They fix the elevator to the Porsche building? He works...

Listen, listen, listen. I don't want to blow up who I know who lives there. But listen, them niggas be heated. They be sending them Ubers. I'm like, yo, what?

You feel this in you? Uber, you got a fucking, a fucking ghost? No. You got a, like he couldn't, like he couldn't get out because the elevator was stuck.

This is the car. Damn, I don't even want to say the Porsche. I want to, I want to keep a good relationship with them. But also, I got to keep it real.

My man is like, yo, B, he had, he couldn't get his car out because obviously your car is in your condo. So he couldn't get it out. So they said what they'll do is they'll order you a fucking great Uber. Like nigga, if you got a Lambo

you can't order me a Lambo Uber. You can't order me a fucking ghost Uber. This is dudes with bread. That's what I'm saying. So that part is crazy. So what you're saying with the because I feel like I feel like what's happening with bread. That's what I'm saying. That part is crazy. What you're saying with the... I feel like

what's happening, and you stop me if I'm wrong, what's happening is a market explodes and then everyone just runs to that market and everyone don't build it the way it deserves. Am I correct in what I'm trying to say?

That's the problem. Eventually, a market, when it's hot, it gets oversaturated. So many people building. Even back home where we're at right now, on the waterfront, Jersey City, Edgewater, Fort Lee, those places. Gutenberg, West New York. They've been building like crazy.

Same thing. Fort Lee. There's so much new product. Edgewater. Back home, though, a lot of those are luxury rentals. But now there's so much new product. But back home, though, a lot of those are luxury rentals. But now there's so much new product, so many new apartments, that now they got to drop the price on the rent. Now they got to give you a three month for you to move in there because you got 100 apartments you can choose from. A three month? What do you mean?

They'll give you like a three month. Yeah. So, like, let's say if you got to pay the realtor, they'll pay for it themselves. Or they'll give you a three-month rent. So you know what? The month of September, we'll give you for free. Just move in in October. Right.

And start paying us from October just to get you to come in. I got to go back to Jersey, huh? Because there's so much inventory. But I like Essex County. I like Essex County. You told me you hate Essex County last night. Well, Essex County, I never really... What is Essex County?

West Orange. East Orange. West Orange. Orange Orange. West Orange. Orange. Urbantown. Newark. Then you got the high-end areas like Cedar Grove,

Livingston. I didn't see the Grove. Short Hills. I didn't see Verona as well. Short Hills too. The reason I didn't like... I did a deal in East Orange and the city was like

a mess at that time and they busted my balls too much where I had to get a CO. Correctional officer? A certificate of occupancy in school right before you close he's a correction officer I'm being honest I just went into jail I'm like These niggas in jail I'm so sorry Cesar Go ahead continue

So the guy The inspector That was responsible For giving me my CO He went on vacation So I had to wait A whole month For him to come back

So I could sell my property Cause the guy That I was selling To the property Didn't want to buy Unless I had a CO So I kind of Got a bad vibe

But it was a little rougher back then, but now even Essex County has changed a lot. Newark is booming. Downtown area. You go in there, you don't even recognize it anymore. East Orange is changing. But now on Clinton Avenue, let me big up to my people on Clinton Avenue. My man runs a store there. His name is Sig Knight. He runs a store

called Brick Mob. His assistants, every one of them are crackheads. Make some noise for them. Shout out to Sig. Let me just say, it's Sig. My man Sig. Let me just tell you something. There's no service like crackhead service.

Let me tell you something. No, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Because you know why? Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I'm going to be honest with y'all motherfuckers. Winning too much is terrible.

Sometimes you got to just downgrade yourself. So, you know, I'm back to man in my hood. When I go to the left rack, it's like, they're not going to show me the struggle. They're going to buy me the bottles now.

I don't want that. I want to go to Newark now. So I go to Newark. Every now and then, Clinton Avenue, it's the worst place in America. And I go there. And my man, his name is Sick, he runs, he sells everything that makes the drugs.

He doesn't sell drugs. Okay. Does that make sense? Does it make sense? He sells the shaker. He sells the shit that you put in it. He sells the shit that you bag up. He sells the razors.

He sells the pots. He sells the shit that you bag up. He sells the razors. He sells the pots. He sells the pants. He sells everything. Only thing you can't get is the actual drug. But do you understand how many people come to this store?

So I'll just go in and I'll roll up and I'll just shut the fuck up. I'll roll. I put my son there that day, right? This is my son, by the way. I brought my son there and even my son had to laugh. Like, yo? This is my son, by the way. I brought my son there.

And even my son had to laugh like, yo, this is ghetto. Something like that, you think about it, right? You say, damn, that's fucked up, right? But then you also think, they got to buy it from somewhere. You know what I mean? But you also think like, but you're pushing it. It's kind of like you're opening up the hood for that. But you're not promoting it, but you're promoting the buying of it. But then you also look at it, if he don't do it, they're going to buy it from somewhere else anyway.

And he don't sell the drugs. Listen, listen. The police, they adapted to him. They're like, yo, fuck it. He's been in here this long. But everything else. So I would go in there and just, you know, when I'm, shit is going great. Drink Chance, we just did some great shit.

Actually, we come from a Nas interview. So I come from a Nas interview and I'm fucking gassed. Right. I said, you know, I need to simmer down. And you go to Newark. I go to Newark. And I hand behind the thing. And I just listen to him arguing with his customers all day.

All I want is a drink. All I want is a drink. Yo, listen. All his assistance. And the thing is, it humbles me right it humbles me like i love i love being humble like you're a humble guy what do you develop that from it's just you know my parents, the way that I was raised. And I think once we make it or you have success, I think you should try to help as many people as possible to be successful just like you are. Everybody around me, from family members to friends, they have all invested in real estate

because they see what I'm doing. So if I'm walking down the street and somebody has a question for me about real estate, I'll answer it. I'll talk to anybody. And I think that's one of the most important things. I know a lot of guys, right, that are worth a couple hundred million dollars, right? Guys that I look up to. And they're just like me.

But then I know a guy that only makes 50 grand a year and he thinks he's better than everybody. You know? In my experience, people that have real money, they're humble. Right. And they wear sneakers too. Yeah. I was sitting down with a guy the other day and he was flipping a company.

He buys businesses. They're on the way down. And this guy inspired me he's almost he actually lives out here he's almost 80 years old and he's like yeah next week

I'm flipping this company I bought it for $8 million and now I'm selling it for $57 million in less than a year and I'm like shit can you teach me how to do that?

and then we're going back to Conforge he's still an investor and dude the guy was a regular guy man you wouldn't even think that he had money like that and cool as hell and stuff like that inspires me And then we're going back to conform to an investor. And dude, the guy was a regular guy, man.

You wouldn't even think that he had money like that. And cool as hell. And stuff like that inspires me. So that inspires me to be a better man. And that's why, you know, I think you need to be humble with everybody because you never know where your next property is going to come from. You got to have a hundred million and still eat Chick-fil-A, god damn it. God damn it.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide,

AT&T. Connecting changes everything. But I also push him to show some of it. And the reason why I do that is... I'll be pushing EFN. You know, EFN's making a lot of money. Shut up, EFN.

EFN has not bought nothing. He bought a house and that's it. But you know what? I push him to show a little extra. I just remember being a kid in Queens and what I looked up to was the drug dealers. And why I looked up to them is because they had all the fly cars. They had the fly jewelry, the fly kicks, the fly clothes. They had the chicks.

They was what it was. And they talk. And it is. So for me, I was like, damn, I want that. It's not necessarily that I wanted to be a drug dealer, but I wanted that. How can I get that? I want the end result. Exactly.

So now it's like, that's why I show so much I get that? I want the end result. Right, exactly. So now it's like, that's why I show so much on my Instagram. I want you to see what I do.

He used to do music, so he's like, yo, listen to my boy, Shaylo Shaq, because I was going to DR with Monty from Remy Boyz, Freddie Wah. So I'm like, yo, I got this Dominican guy out there, let's go meet him, see if he can make some music.

So we flowed to DR, and then I met Shelo Shaq there, and then we kept friends from 2012 to now. Rob Markman, Now he wasn't with the niggas that shot Big Pop, right? Big Pop, no, no, no. Rob Markman, Alright, cool.

Big Pop, no, no, no. Rob Markman, You understand enough about me? Big Pop, no, no, no. Rob Markman, I was out there, you know that week? Listen, the week that Bumble is getting poisoned for the liquor. Mr. Lee was with me. Mr. Lee, my Dominican partner.

Nobody was drinking, but I said, oh, you guys, say right. Say right. Wine, champagne, everything. The same thing, I was like, hey, you guys. Hey, you're right, your neighbors are dying. So ask him in Spanish. Like what made him want él signara con un label americano

en oposición a un dominicano que hizo, que te convenció de de firmar con alguien americano en vez de ser alguien dominicano o latino o botriqueño no porque conocí a Envy

dijo el mundo tiene que conocer a Chelo Cha cuando me vio cantando en un show y le gustó mucho mi música Luchi me lo presentó y fue más la conexión fue más lo que vi

¿me entiendes? en la persona ¿me entiendes? para lograr esto que estoy haciendo fue más no fue pensando de que

a ver con quien lo hago sino cuando vi nos juntamos comenzamos a beber compartimos fumamos ¿me entiendes? Y se dio todo y yo vi como que la vaina iba a fluir, entonces lo hice con Envy. And that you respected his game and your demeanor was dope and you guys had a great connection. And you guys were smoking and drinking and talking shit and laughing.

So it was a good vibe. He didn't do it for the fame. He said, I'm going to do a song with the next celebrity. It was more like just putting music out there. Goddamn, make some noise. You're up. And for years they've been saying on the Burbis Club that you was Latino and now you finally ...

You know what I'm saying? You say you've not been Dominican for like two years. It's crazy. These are my Dominican brothers. These are my Dominican sisters. I told you. I'm having that moment right now. I think he knows that you're thinking Dominican.

All of my friends are Dominican. I'm Puerto Rican. I'm Puerto Ricano, but all of my friends are Dominican. Dominican Republic has some great people, man. Every time I go to the Dominican Republic, I show love. They look at me like, you know, on Coca-Cola. You know, I'm like, I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic. I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic.

I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic. I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic. I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic. I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic. I'm going to go to the Dominican Republic. I'm going to go to. Dominican Republic has some great people, man. Every time I go to Dominican Republic, I show love. They look at me like, you know, on Coca-Cola. You know what I'm saying? I'm looking for the Dominican people. They never even ask me if I'm Dominican. They just show me love. So I love Dominican people. Make some noise for me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I love Dominican. My wife's Dominican. I love her too. I love Dominican people. So that's dope, Embiid, because, you know, 10, 12 years ago,

I told people that Spanish music would be the biggest music in the world. Absolutely. And people laughed at me. They did. They laughed at me.

Not only they laughed at me, they pointed and laughed. They said, look at him. He's bugging at me, they pointed and laughed. They said, look at him. He's bugging. That nigga made the war report. And they were right. But where they were wrong was, I saw this, bro.

I saw that this would be the new reggae. Because you don't understand Spanish music. Most people that don't speak Spanish don't understand. I understand Spanish, but I don't understand Spanish music. Most people that don't speak Spanish don't understand. I understand Spanish, but I don't understand, you know, in that depth. But I don't understand reggae in depth. But I hear Joanna, Joanna. That's African music. I know.

I know. But, you know, that come from the reggae roots. You know what I'm saying? That come from flex, time to have sex, and boom bostic. Very fun. It come from all that shit. You know what I'm saying? I went too far?

I don't know what blood that is. That's your shit blood? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to get that shit tight. So, this is mine. No, this is mine. That's great right there, nigga. Look, listen, nigga.

You got to get your rolling skills together. I ain't going to lie. I can't roll. I can't roll. I can't roll, so this is Boris. Boris rolled this shit. This is from the depths of hell, nigga. You gotta relax. You know, to see you brothers coming together, to see that

I feel like, you know, this is a great movement. This is a great thing to do. And especially to see like I said like 12 years ago I told people Latin music would be

the biggest thing in the world you know I had you know from people like Shakira to everybody just calling me and like

just cosigning like yo what you doing was real the problem was the people that when I was in hip hop were laughing at me Fat Joe

was one of my best friends he called me and said, stop! Don't fuck with these guys. And now he has a reggaeton artist. Let's make some noise. Rob Markman, Jr.: This is my brother now. This is my brother. So it feels good. I remember when I heard Fab rhyming on a Don Omar record. And I heard... They were five years late. This is my brother because they're my brothers.

But I had five years prior to that, I had told niggas like, Yo, Reggae Thon will be the next Reggae. And now, after J. Albin, now niggas is like, okay, he was kind of right. He was kind of, you should have listened to their record. I brought all barriers. Me and Pharrell broke every single record from that time. But the only record that was bigger than that was Oye Mi Canto with me, Daddy Yankee, and In the Sky. And that's the first record that set off this whole Latino movement.

I don't give a fuck. No one can take me for that. The first time you heard a Spanish, full record Spanish in Power 105 is Mines. The first time you heard a record full Spanish on Hala De Seven is Mines. The first time you heard a record on MTV VH1 or BET, full Spanish, is mine. And no one can ever take that from me, god damn it.

And I don't even care because I'm getting money from so many other places. But the fact is it felt good for me to tell people that this is what the next thing is. See, I did that with Pharrell, but it kind of didn't work because people didn't believe Pharrell. Because I was so much of a tough guy image, and Pharrell was the exact opposite.

When I presented him, people were like, it took three years. People don't realize Super Thug came out, then a year and a half passed, then Oh No came out. Yeah. And then after Oh No, Mystical caught on. Mystical was the first person that- Yeah, yeah. He came, but I brung Pharrell, I swear to God. I brung Pharrell to Nas, I brung him to Jay, and they both was like... One was like, yo, why is his chain so tight?

And the other was like, yo, his shirt is mad. Can he breathe? I kid you not. shirt, it's man, can he breathe? I kid you not. And then two years later they both worked with him and I was like, you fucking motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying? Nope, neither one of them gave me credit. God damn it. Neither one of them gave me credit.

But it's great. My point is being, let me rewind it and make sense of this all. My point is to see something like this, to see you brothers with a Dominican artist, you know what I'm saying, holding it down and, you know, invested and wanting to push it forward, it makes my dream that I had years ago, you know, still feel alive.

You know what I'm saying? Still feel alive. Like, you know, to me... You opened the doors. To me, thank you. But to me, there is no race. To me, thank you. But to me, there is no race. To me, we eventually be just one people. And I grew up in Queens.

And in Queens, my next door neighbor was a Russian. Finish him. My next door neighbor was a Haitian. My other neighbor, you know, I had 18 apartments. There's no way I could ever be racist in my life. I know every culture growing up in Queens. And I'm sure you got the same thing. Like, we have every nationality.

I don't know if you know that. They did a global study of, like, where's the most mixed people in the world? And it's Queens. It wasn't even New York City. It was Queens, nigga. You know what I'm saying? It was Queens of all the different nationalities so I literally grew up

with a Jamaican a Haitian a Asian a Russian I grew up with every one of them I know Spiceybo you know what I'm saying

I know I don't want to say shit well you know I also you know I've traveled across the world but to see you know the fruition of our idea and you guys

because you guys don't have to like you guys are doing this because you believe, because you guys don't have to. You guys are doing this because you believe in him. You know what I'm saying? You guys are rich. I see your AP. God damn it.

This is stupid. I know what that is. I'm going to watch God, God damn it. That's the real one right there, God damn it. That's a good one. There's a lot of niggas running around with that one, but it's not the real one, bro. Let me just tell you something, bro. Let me just tell you, man. I'm telling you, man. I know how to goddamn it. That's a good one. There's a lot of niggas running around with that one, but it's not the real one, bro. Let me just tell you something, bro. Let me just tell you, man.

I'm telling you, man. I know how to do it. And I see a good motherfucking, maybe you got the same joint on. Goddamn it. Goddamn it. So, Luke, I asked them both this. What is your worst? Because I feel like you'd be fucking the strippers

that'd be paid. Am I wrong? You get them all free, right? You just paid like, you know what I'm saying? I'll give you the next week, bitch. You can play good at this. What's your worst client that you had? The one you hated to go to? I had a wall, man. Tell my client that you had? The one you hated to go to? I had a wall man.

Tell my lady to pull the gun out on you. Can I have a wall? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. The door. Okay. Oh, the one that... Which one?

The one? Yeah, the lady that pulled the gun out on him. Oh, she didn't want to pay her rent. She was late. She was late. So I kept harassing her, harassing her, harassing her. Then I went up to her door. I'm like, bro, I need my rent.

It's already the seventh of the month. I ain't paying you shit. She was late, so I kept harassing and harassing and harassing her. And I went up to her door and I'm like, bro, I need my rent. It's already the seventh of the month. I ain't paying you shit. As soon as she came out the door, she started pulling out. Rob Markman The seventh? Rob Markman Yeah, on the seventh. Rob Markman Okay, but when does that shit do the first? Rob Markman You got from the first to the seventh to pay

your rent. Rob Markman And she pulled out. God damn it. Rob Markman Well, first to the fifth, actually. After the fifth, you get a late fee. Rob Markman But this was a bad ten. You know what I'm saying? Every month you got to harass her.

Every mom you got to harass her. She's late and shit. You know what I mean? Did she wear army fatigues? I feel like she wore army fatigues. No? She was just crazy. That was the first knucklehead.

and then it's coated with CBD. God damn it. God damn it. That's a mix though. Yes. This is the hardest on the market. This is available

in your dispensary. Look at that shit. Yeah, we wanted to do that because it looks funny. Like, I've never done cocaine in my life. Even when I read up cocaine, I looks funny. I've never done cocaine in my life. Even when I weed up cocaine, I never touched it. I always drunk somebody and they do it.

I've never done that shit. But, man, you've run it so long with The Breakfast Club. Do you ever feel like people feel like you changed because of it? Because you own it. You know what I'm saying? The more you go... Even if Charlamagne is wrong at a certain point, you have to actually

stand by him to a certain extent. Do you feel like that changed you in any way? No, I don't stand by Charlamagne when he's wrong. I'll be honest with you. When he does some shit wrong, we have a conversation about it. I tell him he's wrong. If I do something wrong, he tells me I'm wrong. Yeah, the Breakfast Club, I did change.

I absolutely did change. When I started the Breakfast Club, I used to drink and get high every day, party and do a lot of shit. But now, when you get a little older, you realize there's a bigger purpose. You know what I mean? That's why instead of, you know, having some of the buffoonery that we have on there,

we try to do different things, whether it's, you know, bringing people up there that talk about real estate and how for people to invest. Or we bring the political candidates up there and have real conversation, real talk with them.

Or it's, you know, talking about entrepreneurship with me and you owning different businesses. Or Charlamagne's talking about mental health. You know what I mean? It's a bigger cause. Like, it's no more the days where we just going to have fun in the morning and rap in the morning and keep it moving.

Like, that's not what our community's about. No, I want to inspire somebody to buy a property, to be an entrepreneur, to go to school, to do something outside of what they're so comfortable in the environment. You got all these kids that want to play football or baseball or basketball. Nobody wants to be a realtor. Right, exactly. And the percentage of people doing it

that make it is so damn low. You know what I mean? For a short amount of time, too. Yeah, but think about everybody in your hood that was a rapper, everybody in your hood that was a DJ. Not even my hood, not even my hood in generic, in general. Just think about everybody who's trying to be a rapper or a DJ or a producer, yeah. And you hood, that was a DJ. Not even my hood in generic, in general. Just think about everybody who's trying to be a rapper

or a DJ or a producer. And you know, I see a lot of them and people just, and people don't make it. They don't make it out. You know what I mean? So I want people

to start thinking about other ways. Like, don't want to be a rapper because you want to be rich. Don't want to be a DJ because you want to be rich. Don't want to be,

do it because you have passion for it. When I get off that radio at 10 o'clock, the first thing I do is I drive to the office and all we're doing is kicking ideas off each other about apartment complexes, houses, this, that, this, that. Or we bouncing ideas about Shalo Shack, trying to get an artist to... You know, Shalo Shack shit, or talking to somebody. Because at the end of the day, it's still like shout to Cool and Dre. We told them the situation. Ceaser reached out to somebody. You know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, it's still like, shout to Kool and Dre. I told them,

we told them the situation. Ceaser reached out to them. I reached out to them and they were able to do production for them. Same thing with people that we really fuck with. I asked,

yo, I got this artist. I want you to hear him. If you like him, do something. And everybody is down so far. God damn. Thanks so much. I kind of like,

I applaud the fact that The Breakfast Club doesn't have like an agenda or a program director you guys really bring in people no they got a program director no but I mean like

does he approve nobody tells us what to do I don't believe that it's a two out of three rule like if two of the members agree then we do it if you know

two disagree then we don't do it but we never really shit on each other like unless it's somebody that we really don't like or I don't like or Charlamagne don't like but you gotta we never really shit on each other unless it's somebody that we really don't like or I don't like or Charlamagne don't like

but you got to be two out of three. And the third one just waits the rotation for the next time they have an idea. Yeah, whatever it is. But I'm usually the one

that's the most sensitive in there because I'm the one that hold grudges and don't like somebody for a certain reason. That's usually me. So where are y'all

standing with the Nicki Minaj beef at this point right now? Does she reach out? Are you a Barb? Are you not a Barb? Like I said, I got no problem with Nicki, man. I want to see Nicki succeed.

But you have seen the change. Yeah. Let's just, because I don't know Shorty. I've met her very slightly in the beginning and never met the blown up Nicki. I've never met the blown up Nicki. I've got respect for her. I got respect for her relationship. A lot of people criticize me for not asking Nas

about Nicki Minaj. And the reason why I didn't is because I got respect for her new relationship. I don't know Homeboy, but I know of his people and it's all been mutual respect. So how do you feel of the change? And is there even a change? I think with Nicki,

yeah, there's a change. I mean, there's always a change when you go from struggling, not having it, to making it. You know what I mean? And for Nicki, Nicki should have a chip on her shoulder.

Like, honestly. Wait, what you mean by that? If you think about it, right, when Nicki came out in New York, New York didn't fuck with Nicki. That's why she went to the south she went to the south right and then she popped in Atlanta

and then she came back and then New York accepted her when she popped so for Nicki it's like nigga y'all ain't fuck with me at first anyway fuck y'all I did it on my own

I grinded it out and she should have that attitude but you know I respect her and she's done a lot in this industry and she's created broken a lot of trends

she's broken a lot of barriers and let's not get it twisted Nicki can spit she can rap like she can rap so you know me and her don't see

eye to eye on things and it is what it is but I'd like I want to see her succeed you know what I mean she's supposed to be getting married I want to see her happy

you know I want to see that you know what I mean she never did anything nasty with you know got me shot at or anything like that you know you have words anybody have words but I want to see that. You know what I mean? She never did anything nasty with, you know, got me shot at or anything like that. You know, you have words. Anybody have words. But I want to see her win.

Like, I enjoy people, especially seeing somebody from my borough win it. Right. Me too. Me too. Me too. All right. Here we go. Hey, I got to take this moment to give EFN a shout out.

And they kept telling me, me yo you got to get shots so i had you know different number for somewhere else and i'm just like all right cool but i asked akon when he's out here and he's like yo you don't you don't got to get shots you know i'm saying when you go there but um it depends where you're going like it depends what part of africa like we've been to uh nigeria we've been to south af to South Africa, Johannesburg. We've been all over Africa

He's in South Africa, real big out there. And we go out there three times a year. And Styles P just went out there. So I made sure Styles P seen him. So they held Styles P down. They got Styles P at Smoke. They're really good. So I love it, man. We try to go as many times as we can. Stiles P just went out there so I made sure Stiles P sent them so they held Stiles P down. They got Stiles P and Smoke. They're really good so I love it, man.

We try to go as many times as we can. It's a long flight but I love it. Goddamn, make some noise for Stiles. Now, Envy,

I would like to reiterate that Niles pulled a gun on you one time. I like this story. I really love this story. What happened? You was on Jamaica Avenue. Let's take it from there.

It's the belly scene, correct? Yeah, Jamaica Avenue. This is where they got belly from. Let's just roll with it., correct? Yeah, Jamaica Avenue. This is where they got belly from. Let's just roll with it. Yeah, all right. Let's just roll with the story. This is where they got belly from, nigga. Like that, man.

So this was the backside of the Coliseum block where you used to park and used to walk through to go to the Coliseum. Big place in Queens where everybody used to go shopping. Yes. And I was selling mixtapes at the time. And at the time, nobody fucked with my mixtapes because I was a quote unquote fake clue. So nobody really wanted my mixtapes. So I would have to hustle the Africans and, yo, come on, just take this.

So I seen Nas. And Nas had a chick with him, a little light-skinned Spanish chick with him. And you're excited to see Nas. It's Nas and he's by himself. And what Nas was this? After Illmatic? Oh, that's dumb. This had to be like 90, I would say 495.

So, Maddox 92. So, it was written. It was written. Yeah, he's out. This is after I rule the world. Oh, yeah, he got, yeah, yeah. He had a GS300. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that's Nas. Was it gold? Was it a gold GS300? I think it was gold. I remember seeing that. Okay, yeah, continue. So, I see Nas and I'm like, oh, shit. So, I start running up the block.

And me and my, it was my DJ friend at this time, Boogie Black. And we running up. Nas, Nas, I got something for you. I got something for you. So I'm reaching in the bag to pull out the mixtape. Nas pulled out his gun. What you got for me, nigga? What the fuck you got for me?

I'm like, oh shit. It's a mixtape, mixtape. So he takes my tape and says, yo, I'm coming up to nigga. You know niggas get shot like that. After this call, I took off. And I was like, wow, Nas just pulled out a gun on me. You know what I'm saying? A part of you guys would be like, that's dope.

Yeah. A little bit. Yeah, I was like, yo, Nas is real, man. All the way back to Queensville, like, yo, Nas just pulled out a gun on me, son. So has Nas, let's do one more shot and let's give Lucia a shot. Has Nas ever been

to the Breakfast Club? Nas has never been to the Breakfast Club. If you know Nas, Nas doesn't really do morning shows. Like, you know,

that's the one thing I love about Nas, he does what he wants. Hit that smoke jam. I don't know about that one. He does what he wants and I love that about him. You know what I mean?

And now, if you see Nas out and about, Nas is never with a bunch of security. He's always with one person by himself. I seen him by himself in L.A. one time. It's just crazy. I don't want to say where, because we still hang out there. And, you know, we had just, you know, everything was prepared.

And me, this nigga, I'm walking with this motherfucker. And we walking through, and I'm like, tell him to like Nas, and he looking like, tell him to like Norris. And I'm like, yo, this nigga just jumps up, and I'm like, yo, I didn't even say, yo, why are you by yourself? I'm just like, I just rolled with it. I said, you good?

He said, yeah, I'm good. Gave him a five, but that's, it was in L.A., in L.A. But, you know, that's the crazy shit. For me, and I'm sorry, I'm keeping the industry right now. But for me, seeing Nas progression. Chop. And seeing... Vamos a dar otro. Tienes que aprender. Sí, tienes que aprender. ¡Prendeme!

¡Prendeme! ¡Vamos! ¡Un más! ¡Uno más! ¡Un último! ¡Salud! ¡Salud! ¡Ehhh!

¡Ehhh! ¡! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Been in this game at least since 96, 97. I would never think that we would be sitting here on a Jay-Z platform talking. On a Revolt platform, which is on my ditty. Yeah.

Talking. Sitting here on when you listen to us on audio, that's Mass Appel. Like me, I didn't really have dreams of going outside the the culture I wanted to stay inside the culture because I know they won't fire me the thing is I know I'm loose I know I might say some shit that's not politically correct right I know that let's not even go through it for me to go through that so So I wanted to keep it cultural. So I had deals from all these other companies, I promise you. They even offered me more, kind of.

But the thing was, I wanted to go where I was appreciated. Right, absolutely. I wanted to go where I was celebrated. I don't like to go where people just deal with me and just say, you know what I'm saying? And do you think that's where the culture is going? Because just think about it. As much as we talked about Nicki and as much as we talked about Joe, we're talking about

them on their own platform. Correct. Did you ever see that? I never did, but I do love it. I love it too. I just wish that we just got to get together and do more things outside the box. Even with Title and Revolt, it's good that we have this show where we talk music and talk, giving the flowers to the greats. But we need to do stuff like, and this is going to sound

crazy, but why not have a real estate show on one of those platforms? Rob Markman, Yeah. That's hard. Rob Markman, That's hard. Rob Markman, You know, why not have- Rob Markman, The white guys. Rob Markman, You didn't hear what he just said. On these platforms. On these platforms. He's going to talk.

I've got to talk correct, though. He said on these platforms. He didn't. He didn't. No, he's not speaking Spanish. You, I'm speaking Spanish to you. Come on down over there. But on our platforms, so we can teach each other.

They're coming to try to listen to music. We're coming to vote to watch TV. We need to have it there. Even like I look at some of, you know, cooking show to teach our community how to cook clean.

You know, teach them about, you know, herbal stuff that people use to herbal and how to eat, what to put in their bodies. We don't have none

of those shows, but they have them on their shows. Martha Stewart has her show and she cooks for her people. And even like, you know, some of the family shows,

you see all these loving hip hop and housewives of this and they fighting and this and that. Where's the positivity on our own networks? Where's our own Cosby show? Where's our own shit that's real? That's fathers going through the shit that fathers

go through. We don't have none of that stuff. It's a start and I'm curious to see how it finishes up. I understand that because we all start if Jay-Z said something last week, we got to start as the janitor. I understand they're not going to have a lot of the money that these other all start, Jay-Z said something last week, we got to start as the janitor. I understand he's not going to have a lot of the money that these other networks have,

but we got to believe in the longevity in the long run to make sure that we can build Diddy's network so he can hire more of us. When we start right now, you see what you requested when I asked you what you drinking? You said 50 cents shit. You see what I'm drinking? I'm drinking whole shit.

And this is how we're going to do it. We're going to keep continuing to support our homies. Come on, pull up. Hold up. Pull up. Because you know why? We got to make title the new Apple. With no disrespect to my man Larry Jackson at Apple.

You know I love you. No disrespect to anybody that works at Apple. But Mr. Apple, we cannot identify with. It's not Apple that's the problem. If you take care of African-Americans, take care of brown people, take care of people from our community, from the hip-hop community, we love that. We ain't against that. But at the same token, we can identify a little bit more to Mr. Jay-Z, to Mr. Title.

We can identify more to Mr. Sean Puffy Combs. I can identify more to the dude from Queensbridge, from 40th and Vernon. Yeah. And I can also relate to the dude from Queensbridge from 40th and Vernon. Yeah. And I could also relate to the nigga from 41st and Vernon. And Chico from the pub. I'm old school. I'm so sorry. It's all good.

I'm so sorry. But I would rather do that. I'd rather keep it cultural sometimes. Sometimes we take it outside the culture so much. God bless anybody who does that, who takes it outside the culture the culture I've done that I've chased the checks so many times you know so many times and you know what I realized that I was just a number outside of the culture but when inside the culture they know who nor he is they know nor he got a whole nother career if this podcast shit don't work

right they know if the music shit don't work nor we're gonna they got this Spanish for three years I I could hardly speak Spanish. Come on, make some noise for me. If y'all said a hustler, I don't know what the fuck it is. You know what I'm saying? See, he's got that.

Come on, man. We got to stop canceling so fast. Like, black people especially. Well, we cancel each other. We'll cancel a nigga in a minute. You say something wrong,

cancel a nigga. I'm following. But that shit is whack and I'm going to tell you why. If somebody wear Gucci, we're not fucking Gucci, cancel it. But it's stupid to think

that everybody knows everything. And I'm always like, let's have a conversation. Let's say Nori said some foul shit and then say it hurts a group of people or hurt somebody. Why not somebody say, yo Nori,

this is what it was. This is how it affected the nigga. This is how it made him feel. Then they'll already look back and be like, well I should have did it. But as soon as you cancel a nigga, first thing that's going to kick in is ego.

You cancel me? Fuck y'all. I said what I want to say. It's like we got to have them conversations now. You know what I mean? How about Equinox? I kind of canceled Equinox because they do Trump or Wally.

Am I right? I mean, I don't fuck with Trump. I told my trainer. I told my trainer. You know what I mean? Fuck with him. Yeah, Equinox. Yo, can you go to my car?

Come on. I got three blunts in my car. It's already rolled up. Please. And I also got a little bit of wee-wee. A little bit of bud there, too. Come on. Bring that in.

Got the key? Come on. Jeez Louise, Papa Cheese. So this is what we doing. We celebrating our own. You know what I'm saying, Lucci? You know what I'm saying? Andci? You know what I'm saying? And you fucking strippers,

right? Keep it real. I'm going to throw it out there, man. Property managers out here living. Tell them niggas this is the new shit now. You know why?

So many people, if they knew they could be a property manager and score and be a nigga still, listen, my nigga, listen,

we got to spread your job. I'm just saying. She's like, no. She's like, you know, you really fucking them? I'm just playing. See, she's like, that's not business. See, she's like, yo, you really fucking with him? Like, I'm just playing. See, that's something I threw in there. That's the serious.

It's not what's really going on. It's something I just made up. You can't mix a business with a pleasure. There you go. All right. It's OK. You know, I'm 41 years old, so I'll stop that. But back in the day, I'm going to keep it 100.

Business and pleasure, one day. This nigga about to finish. Niggas ought to be laughing. I thought about it, man. I was a me too. These bitches was me too and me. Like, I thought about it. Like, I really thought about it.

Like, I thought I was scoring. These bitches was like, they were fucking me. I'm being honest. I'm going to go through my Bill Cosby history. I've been Bill Cosby. I'm talking about these chicks. All right, I went too far. All'm going to go through my Bill Cosby history. I've been Bill Cosby. I'm talking about these chicks. All right, I went too far. You ever got robbed? I'm about to ask you.

Like, ever mess with a chick and she got you? You know what the crazy shit is? I was in Chicago one time. Shout out to her. And I woke up in the morning and the bitch, she wrote a letter. She said, don't you ever fall asleep in front of a bitch like me again. Whoa. She said, she gave me the code to the shit and put all my jewelry in the safe.

Wow. It was the craziest shit ever. Yes, it was the craziest shit ever. And God bless the dead. No, she made the code because there wasn't no code. She made it. She made it. And she knew my family and shit, so they never, oh, shit.

Okay, that was service. That's service for your ass right there. All right. I ain't going to front row some more because these are my roles. These are not great. These are not great. I don't even pass my roles. It's not great.

But, yeah, to answer your question, that was the time that I woke up. And, you know, not to, let let's say rest in peace, we were actually on the tour with Mobb Deep and I heard that they got P and Had, the same bitches, the same crew of bitches. But I guess I must have fucked her great. So she's like, I'm not bragging, you don't have one of them nights. You have one of them nights, you blow it out the park. Like, oh shit.

She left me a note. I was like, and them niggas woke up and was like, you blow it out the park. Like, oh, shit. She left me a note. And them niggas woke up and was like, you know what I'm saying? I was like, holy moly guacamole. You know what I'm saying? Like, all right, cool. I was, you know, I was good. I didn't even tell niggas.

Like, I think this is the first time I'm actually saying it. I got a note, like, because everyone else was sad as shit when I went downstairs. And I was like, let me just hold this to myself. But, yeah, yeah, I never got a gun pointed to me. No, no, I never. Especially not as Nori. I got guns pointed to me as Poppy. A lot. And I pointed it a lot.

We don't. As well. We shot somebody. But not as Nori. You know what? And I'm going to knock on wood. One of the greatest things is I never really had problems in the industry

because most people, aside for the time, I always regret it every time you brought that up. And I would like to address it because I got to take a pee-pee, but I would like to address it first. The thing was at that time, Envy,

I always looked at y'all as one, meaning Desert Storm. I could never separate you guys. And what happened was I paid Daryl. I paid Clue. I paid. I've never got a free session from Daryl. Just so you know. Not even on my birthday.

Not on Thanksgiving. He came out, he paid. I paid. So, what happened was, when it came time for you, I'm thinking you signed the so-so death. You know, and that was not my rate. My rate was like 50 or something like that at the time. But I had paid Clue so many times from S.Lowguy and all that. I didn't differentiate you from Clue.

That's why I always admitted to it. When I came to the Breakfast Club, I always just said, you know what, Emu, you're right and I'm sorry. But you were right and I was sorry, but the thing about it was I was obligated because of so much

things from professional one, professional two, professional... So when you hit me, I'm like, all right, maybe they're taking advantage. I'm thinking maybe it's clue hitting you. So, again, I apologize because when you told me that, you were absolutely right.

I never ever defended myself in case you didn't know that. I never defended myself. I always say, you know what? Emory, you're right. And I'm still going to say you're right. I'm not going to take it back even though I feel I was right. I'm not going to take it back even though I feel I was right.

I'm not going to take it back because of our relationship. I should have not put Clue in front of that. And people, if you don't know the story, when Nori first started, I used to pick Nori up

in my caravan. Nori used to jump in the back of the caravan and we'd ride to the city and ride, whatever it was. And I just believed him. And, you know, when he popped, I was happy because I felt like a part of me popped. So when I finally got on to do my album, I'm calling my friends.

Yo, yo, yo, Jay, yo, I done played many gigs. Can I get a song for your mixtape for my album? Sure. Jay does it. DMX, I need a record. Sure. You know, Holy Spirit 5th, I need a record. Sure.

You know, and then when I come to my guy, Nori, he's like, yeah, I got you. I need 30. I'm like, 30 what? What you need? What you need? 30 stacks. I'm like, oh, shit. No, and listen, I will never take away from that. I believe him if he said that.

But the thing was what led up to that. What led up to that was me paying Clue 15 bands for a beat. Me playing Clue every time and then me seeing his right hand man like he said. This was his right hand man. I didn't look at him at the time as envy.

There's no disrespect. That was Clue's man. Clue was in a hole to me because I paid for everything and I've done millions of freestyles for this nigga. This nigga never brought me a sun kiss. This nigga ain't give me a hero

nigga. You know what I'm saying? For real. No Doritos or nothing. But I pay him. So I paid him and I just felt like I was being played at the time. So I felt like it wasn't you when you called. So I never said that because the reason was it's because I when you called. Like, so, I never said that because the reason was

it's because I'm still wrong. Regardless of what, I should have called you and said that. So, I'll take this. Like, as a man, I'm going to take it. And I'll take it to this day. Pause. And that's all.

But I appreciate that. No, no, no. I'll take it to this day because I should have been able, but I wasn't able. I should have been able to say envy is envy and clue is clue.

But back then, you got to realize how tight y'all was. That's why I looked at Envy, Clue, Web, Nitty, Skane, Dollar. They all were nigger. Y'all were not separate to me. I seen Skane, Dollar the other day. What's up, nigga? But to me, when I see Skane, I still see you.

I still see Clue. I still see Web and Nitty So that Y'all all Enduro Y'all all was the same So It was so much redundant

Favors that I kept doing for Clue And obviously Clue was the The hottest nigga in the world So I never looked at it Like it was a favor Until someone put that in my head Like Are you getting

Paid for the Clue shit? And I was like Niggas get paid for that? I was like I thought this was You know Obviously Just like all the young dudes That make a mistake

That was a mistake that I made Meaning Like I said I couldn't differentiate the two I could not understand Where What did they say? Where envy starts and where clue ends

At that time You know what I'm saying? So again I would like to say that because I'd like to say I apologize. Yeah, but you're my brother. No, no, because I fuck with you and that's why I never corrected it. Like, for years, for three years,

I let you chastise me on The Breakfast Club. I took it. I don't know if you guys can go look at the interviews. You guys can go look at the interviews. I always took it because you know why? At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how or why I was wrong.

If I was wrong, just own it as a man. And that's what I learned as a 38-year-old, as a 39-year-old. I'm 41 right now. I'll be 42 this year. You know,

the Miami weekend is going down. I'm going down. What's going on, man? Come on, man. Come on. You want another? Udomas? Udomas!

Udomas! Udomas! Udomas! Udomas! Udomas! on man nigga come on man come on you you want another so but but I just wanted to tell you that envy because because and I never really like I said I've never defended myself because at the end of the day I knew I was wrong and I and but I learned from that process I learned that uh uh Smith is different from Weston right you know I learned that Smith is different from Weston. I learned that Havoc is different from Prodigy. I always looked at them both. It was a dumb shit because

I looked at the streets as the industry and it's not the same. Niggas is calling me from the streets. As I said that. I don't know. It feels like somebody got arrested. I'm not going to answer this one. It's not the same. Okay, niggas is calling me from the streets, right? As I said that. What the fuck? What the fuck? I don't know. I don't know.

It feels like somebody got arrested call. So I'm not going to answer this one. I don't know. As I touched it, it felt like, yo, you know the y'all got arrested. Or the y'all just shot somebody. I don't want to do that. So how do you guys avoid the streets? You guys, you know, I made fun about Patterson because I got cousins in Patterson. I got people, you know, that live around Patterson.

And Patterson is a real, real, real, real neighborhood. It's not gentrified yet as a Harlem. So how do you guys like avoid that type of things? Like, you know, still maintain your great business out there. But at the same token, this is not a phony neighborhood. You can't just run up on somebody's shit and just piss on their door and say, give me my rent. This nigga might have a machine gun.

How do you roll with that? Rob Markman, I don't know who to run to. Rob Markman, That's what I come down to. You know, we do a background check. You got to know who to run to. We don't run to like... Rob Markman, No, but we did background checks for the gun violence in America, and these niggas still shooting up malls. Yeah, bro. We don't rent to like, you know. No, but we did background checks for the gun violence in America,

and these niggas still shooting up malls. So. Been doing it 12 years. We just been lucky. I pick them, you know. You can look at a nigga. Everything with energy with him. Like, he can interview somebody and feel like they're a real person.

I look at your shoes, man. What are you telling me? Nah, you know, I've been doing it for a long time, you know. And then people respect us, too. We've been in the game for a long time, man. We ain't asshole landlords. We rent to anybody. We give people chances. You know I've been doing it for a long time. And people respect us too. We've been in the game for a long time. We ain't asshole landlords. We don't rent to anybody. We give people chances.

You know what I mean? I don't discriminate. I don't care what you do as long as you pay me my rent. Rob Markman, So if a nigga come in there and he's smoking crack as long as he got the money. Rob Markman, Nigga I cursed him back. Nigga I ain't some business. I don't care what you do. You know what I'm saying?

Rob Markman, Nigga be in there like this. Come here. Let's take a sip. Nigga smoke some crack. I don't know what you're doing. You can be in there like this. Come here, you chicken chip, bro. Look at that. I don't know what the fuck you're doing. I don't know what the fuck you're doing. Yo, brothers, hold on. Let's do another shot.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it, man. Yeah! Man, I thank you, brothers. This is your second time doing it. This is your second time doing it. This is your second time doing it. This is your second time doing it. Your first time doing it.

And I want to tell y'all, man, so many other shows is about interrogating people and, you know, whatever. Whatever they about. Our show is about bigging people up. To me, if you're a hip-hop artist,

you're a DJ, you're a part of this culture, you're a hero because of what you have to endure. I could never take off my mask. You see Batman or Superman, these niggas do this shit, and then they take off their cape. We're all superheroes. That nigga, that's what I'm trying to say. These niggas could be Clark Kent. I've never been Clark Kent in my life.

I've always been Superman. And for that, we all have to, we all have to big each other up. Our community is because what we're doing

is superhero shit. And, you know, I knew you, Envy, from in your grandma's basement From rhyming Would I sit here and Tell you 20 years later you would be a

Real estate tycoon Hell no I couldn't predict that shit Using the MPV was it an MPV No it was a caravan Caravan No tits Con Edison caravan Con Edison Caravan.

Con Edison? Con Edison. Con Edison would sell a car's cheese. And my pops bought it for me to drive around with it. I thought it was an MPV. I thought you was- It didn't even have leather or suede or cloth. Because Wu Tang had that song at the time, MPVs every week.

So my mom, when you pulled up, I thought, I said, you niggas be MPVs, nigga. The Jesus song. The light blue one. You know, I want to thank you brothers for taking your time out to sit down with us. You know what I'm saying? All four of y'all brothers, man. The three of y'all brothers, I enjoy that y'all supporting this brother right here. Because him being from Dominican Republic, you know, there's not a lot to offer.

You know, I go to Dominican Republic all the time. So the fact that he could easily sign to a Dominican Republic label or a Puerto Rican label, they might not teach him about publishing. They might not teach him about arts. That's one of the foulest things I got when I got into reggaeton was that

I was asking people, yo, what's your publishing company? And they didn't know that shit. And me, I was so offended because that's how I got jerked. So the fact that you guys are coming together and supporting this brother right here

and taking his dream from out of the Dominican Republic and making it not just America, a global thing, I respect that. We appreciate that. I respect that. The fact that. I respect that. The fact that you guys

are spreading your generational real estate wealth, especially to our fans, you know, who are regular people. Because I'm a regular person. Without,

you take the war report away from me, I'm a hood nigga, my nigga. Ain't nothing, like my Maybach smell like Phyllis. Every one of my cars, nigga, except for the ones my younger kids is in, thembach smell like Phyllis Every one of my cars

Except for the ones My younger kids is in Them shit smell like Yonday I'm good You know I got a medical guard I'm medically approved I just want y'all to know

I just want y'all to know I smoke it from the police Police like what you doing I'm like listen sir How you doing And they can't do none To the Yonday You know what I mean

But I just want to tell y'all while y'all live face to face how much the culture the community respects what you guys are doing

from everybody from Killer Mike to you know I see everyone you know sitting there and talking about what you guys are doing

and respecting what you guys are doing so everybody is gravitating towards you guys and I want you to say that that's not no normal shit. That's not no regular shit. We respect it.

In case anybody ain't telling y'all to y'all face, we respect what y'all doing. We understand what y'all doing. And the thing is that this guy, look at him,

he's a property manager. I would think a property manager got on a tie and all that. This is my version of a property manager. From now on, if you don't look like Luchi, you're my property manager. But I want to tell y'all, man, thank y'all, because you know why? People from the hood, they need to know about these jobs. They only think about rappers.

They only think about basketball players. They only think about football players. They only think about football players. And the reality is 95% of those people with a dream, that dream ain't going to work. But they can be a doctor. They can be a dentist.

They can be a real estate guy. They can be a property owner. They can do this. This is something that they can do. And the fact that y'all are spreading it is no way, shape, form, or fashion that I won't help you guys spread it. I will help you guys spread it

to the end of my life. And thank you guys for letting us know that there's money that we can get outside of fucking rapping and shaking our ass. Yes! I mean, for the ladies. I mean, come on.

Every fucking bitch that don't got a man is shaking her ass right now. So listen, let me just tell you something. This is the, let me tell you something. The hoes is running rapid right now. I'm being honest. They taking over the world. So we need to give them an option. We teach the hoes how to do it.

Did you see the commercial that been set? All I need is Henny and a plan B. I said, damn. Did you see that shit? Yeah commercial that bitch said, all I need is Henny and a Plan B. I said, damn. Did you see that shit? Yeah, I seen it. All I need is Henny and a Plan... I almost rhymed to the record because the shit was kind of hard. I was like, oh, man.

I said, all I need is Henny. I was like, damn, bitch. I'm going to hit her with the Henny, man. Hit her with the Plan B. But I want to say thank you to you, too. A lot of people don't necessarily... You get the flowers, but a lot of people don't know what you've been through to get what you've got. Thank you. And then. You know, a lot of people don't necessarily, you know, you get the flowers, but a lot of people don't know

what you've been through to get where you got. Thank you. And then not only that is, is once you got there, you transcended and did other things. You know what I mean?

And as fucked up as it was, I was one of those people that was pointing at you when you dropped the reggaeton so I was like, this nigga's buying. You know what I mean? I remember how we did.

Now me and my brother grew up listening to you guys. Right, thank you. We're doing business. No, no, but, but Envy, I want you to finish too. But that was the real thing for me was I saw it though.

It's like, I'm sorry to get deep on y'all niggas, but imagine if you could take yourself back and say, where you see Kool Herc and say, yo think that shit is going to work that's what I did with reggaeton like literally I was in Puerto Rico and I would come back to New York

and I would be offended God bless that enough didn't play it that what's my man name from La Mega Sabega Alex Sensation

wasn't playing it Camillo wasn't playing it. And these are dudes that were frequently visiting Puerto Rico and frequently visiting Dominican Republic and Colombia with me. And I was like, why the fuck? Come on. And do that. And I did it. And it's true.

I'm glad you said that because so many people was like. That was me. It's over. Even when you started this. When you started the podcast world and started because so many people was like that was me it's over even when you started this when you started the podcast world and started the show I was like get this guy Nori

I support him because he's my brother you want to come on the radio come come but at first I was like is Nori going to give us about three months and that's going to wrap

but to see how far you've grown and from the street shit to I mean at one time I mean it's still you do what you want to do. But at one time, it was like, nigga, Nori didn't even have questions prepared.

He was just here. Yeah, it's true. But, you know, but to where you've come and how you've owned, you know, the title platform and Revolt platform and how you made it a business and how you care about ownership. I respect that. You know what I mean? And I would say I appreciate that because you're showing the next person out there that you can do it. And that's what a lot of people don't get to see. And Nori is one of those guys, he will ask questions.

Like, even with real estate, Nori, he's going to have your envy. How do you do this? I want to come to New York and fuck with you. I am. And I respect that. And I respect what you do. And I just want to say from me, us, thank you. Yeah, good looking.

Good looking. Good looking. Good looking. But I want to say, I want to end it here. I want to big up Joe Button. I always say his name wrong, everybody always says it. Shout out to Joe Button.

I want to big up Joe Button for understanding what we did. What happened was, again, I want people to understand that Hov is really out here living his raps. Hov and them came to us

and said, yo, we don't want to own your shit. We want to be in business with you. Right. We don't want to own your shit. We want to be in business with you. We don't want to own it. That opened up for Mass Appeal to exist and it opened up for Revolt to exist.

Because that's the most phenomenal shit in the world. If you go to MTV right now, you go to Spotify for argument's sake. That's a cigarette? No cigarillo. No cigarillo. No cigarillo. Okay, but you to Spotify for argument's sake. That's a cigarette? No cigarillo. No cigarillo.

But you can smoke a marijuana. A gel, a fuma gel, a drink champs, no cigarillo. But what I'm saying is these places, they want to come and they want to own your material. That's why what I love with Joe Button said is he understood that I understood that exclusivity should not exist anymore in the 2019s and 2020s.

And I understood that. I really did. I stood there and I said that Revolt wanted this amount of episodes and Tidal wanted this amount of episodes. But the best thing about Tidal is they wanted no ownership. All they wanted was a license. And that shit opened up for us to be... I wanted to work less, but earn more. And the only way to do that was to do business with people I know That trust me

Bill Gates don't know who the fuck I am Mr. Spotify don't know who the fuck I am He doesn't know what Superdog meant to him In his high school True But I can guarantee you Hold fuck the bitch to Superdog I can guarantee you

Nas did something strange for a piece of change. The homeboy I came to party. I guarantee you, Puff was mad when the war report came out because he was Chinese suiting it. I know these niggas. These niggas know my value. And I know I'm going to say something stupid. What is Mr. Spotify going to say to me? And I'm not dissing him because I love Spotify.

I just want to be clear. I don't want to... I'm just saying the things that I was facing. I know I'm going to say something crazy. So what is this company? And it started because it was a subscription-based company

who offered us the biggest bag, but no one knew who the fuck they were. But it was a subscription. And I said, fuck it. Bro, if that's the case, let me blow up the homie's subscription. And let's make title the new Apple. Not to diss Apple.

We still love Apple. I still get some checks from Apple. Not to diss Spotify. But do you know who owns Apple? Exactly. You know who owns Spotify? I know the nigga French from somewhere. Nope.

You know the nigga that own title? Goddamn right. You know the nigga that own MasterPail? Goddamn right. You know the nigga that own Revolt? Goddamn right. Let's end it on that. Goddamn right.

I got you. You want to take a picture? No cigarrillo. No cigarrillo. No cigarrillo. Pase eso. Pase eso. Why is a soap opera Western like Yellowstone so wildly successful? The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.
