Now, the bunny eyes, see, the way they go down and up and in and out, I was really just having fun
with Speedy. Uh-huh. And then he
took it to the next level.
Should he have broke my glasses?
Probably.
But, you know,
it's not about
how you break.
It's about how you fix yourself back up.
Mm. So,
with that being said,
this story has,
even though it didn't happen on Drink Champs,
this story has,
I think it was with the Breakfast Club
that you called in,
but this story has lived on Drink Champs
as if this happened.

So, what exactly happened?
Because when I
When I put out
Just now
I said questions for Ray J
Immediately
People asked
And they labeled it to just Fab
They said
Is he still mad at Fab?
No, hell no.
I've seen Fab last night at the club.
Okay, you called me.
I was in Fab's party.
It was awkward.
I felt a little awkward.
I didn't know what y'all were speaking.
I've seen Fab last night at the Cali party.
At the Cali party.
That's right.
We didn't say hi to each other.
Y'all did?
But I've seen him, though.
Okay.
Y'all acknowledge?

Oh, y'all just still got beefed in.
No, hell no, no, no, no.
Because that's universal.
You got to get, as a black person, if you don't get this, that's beef, nigga.
I kept trying to say what's up, and then he wasn't looking my way.
Okay.
And then I might have seen maybe him looking out the corner of my eye.
So I looked back, and then he was like, what's up?
So he was talking to somebody next to me.
Oh, he wasn't, oh, damn. He wasn was talking to somebody next to me Oh, he wasn't talking to you
He probably didn't see me

good to work with me, because I don't need no
dressing room.
God damn it. I don't need a dressing room.
Okay, so what exactly happened? Let's stay focused.
Okay, what happened?
Hold on, I'm almost ready.
And then I'm going to take my mask off.
This is something y'all talked about in the time that I was in.

Yeah, because I didn't remember
that Puff even,
because Puff had something to say about the story.
I was surprised.
I didn't know what was this.
When I heard.
When I heard, it was just.
First of all, did it start with the piano?
Because Fab.
Fab had said some shit about me on the piano.

And just, you know.
And then so I was mad.
So I told Puff, like, I'm mad about what happened.
I was at the party.
He was like, well, let's just go ahead and holler at Fab and let's squash this shit.

Second off
When I was watching the show
I seen how
Everybody was speaking on it You know cause they never really touched on it before Right And so I'm sitting back and I was watching the show, I seen how everybody was speaking on it, you know, because they never really touched on it before.
And so I'm sitting back and I'm watching and I'm like, damn, man, this is crazy.
You got Noriega, Jadakiss, Fabulous and Diddy.
All talking about some shit out there.
I got the chills.
Because it was humbling, you know what I'm saying?
And it was big because all y'all I look up to.
And I got to hear the actual call.
Like, I heard the actual call.
That's the only thing I got with the story.
And I'm like, yo, like, this is, like, forget even what they saying.
Thank you, brother.
I don't give a fuck what everybody was saying, good or bad.
It was just a blessing to be able to be in everybody's conversation of people of that magnitude.
It's a legendary story.
Thank you for that.
Everyone has their own version.
We need yours.
So you're in Vegas.
Fab puts out a tweet, says, you were on a piano.
No, he was, Fab was already joking about it.
He was doing every week or every few days, he was clown Fab was already joking about it. He was doing, every week or every, like, few days, he was like, you know, he had, like,
he was clowning niggas all over, right?
So, you know, and it was
funny, but then it got to me, and then I just,
I took it too, I took it too personally.
At the time, Twitter was just coming out.
You don't know, you can't tell the jokes.
You can't tell, like, a person say what, and mean
what, or a person say what, and mean what.
Yeah, it was, you know,
I just took it personal. I should have took it, like,? It was, you know, I just took it personal.
I should have took it like on some just,
you know, he was just, you know, Fab
was joking and he used my name in the
joke and I should have took it
humbling. Just like when I seen everybody
talking about me, I'm like, whoa, this is fucking
this is deep. You know what I'm saying?
I think you kind of like created viral.
Like, I think that
was like the first viral moment. Like, you the moment like you know saying he was a part
I want y'all to cut to when you try to main say Ray J wouldn't be here
I mean the breakfast club when you do that, but I was a first interview
The first viral because I think next week it was like they was trying to figure out if they was gonna keep the show on
And then I had hit him and it helped it changed the whole
Yesterday to out here so DJ Yeah, you crazy, you crazy. Come on, AJ, you can't be talking about it by yourself, my brother. You know, look, man, it's like a time and a place for everything.
Like, I got people that look out for me, but I don't really move.
I'm like, you know, I just move regularly.
I'm in the tech world, so all the security and shit in that world is just not, that's not going to fly.
So when you took it out of the Constance, you went to the Breakfast Club, you did that.
How did you actually work it out?
How did we work it out? Yeah,. You went to the breakfast club. You did that. How did y'all actually work it out? How did we work it out?
Yeah, yeah.
You unfathomable.
At least you said y'all seen each other.
I seen him at a club out here, and I was with Whack.
Here in Miami?
Yeah, like I think Story or something.
Bigger move to Whack.
Yeah, and Whack had seen him, and then we had seen each other.
And so we said, what's up?
And then Whack was like, let's get a pic.
And we like, nah, we just said, what's up? We just squashed itashed it like let's just leave it at that for now you know what i'm saying and then that was it you know i seen him last night i
wasn't able to say what's up because it was crowded in there i was i was i was at chris table um but
i seen uh rugs last night and we said what's up yeahs is my guy. When I did a show in Atlanta, I had
stayed on the same floor as
one of the spots he had down there.
Shout out to Ruggs.
Going back to what happened.
We got to get your side.
A lot of people didn't know that Puff was
one of my big brothers. He said,
Ray J came with me. He was like, wait a minute.
I didn't know that part of the story.
He was like, I was.
I thought he was with Floyd Mayweather... I was with them when I got there, but
me and Puff, we went to Vegas
a couple times, because Puff was on
I Want to Work for Diddy
was right after For the Love of Ray J.
So, cut to the commercial
with Ray J and Puffy, and it's me and him
with the suits on, like Monday nights.
And then, so after that, we just became real good friends
and he just, you know, kind of put me up on a lot of just game.
So you was with him that night?
I was with him the first night.
Then after that, it all became a blur.
Because I was, you know, we was getting lit
and there was a lot of alcohol.
I just got to ask this question.
If y'all would have fought,
do you think you could take back? I just got to ask this question If y'all would have fought Do you think you could take fat?
I just got to ask Because I've been comparing y'all
He's got the reach on you
You think he's got the reach?
Reach
Like you know he's taller
You haven't really measured my reach
I'm not really
I just think he's taller than you
Am I wrong?
Nah he's taller than me
Okay
But you think
Everybody's taller than me You think you could? Nah, he taller than me. Okay. But you think anybody taller than me.
You think you could have took it?
Real talk, real talk.
Well, what I wanted to do, and this is going to sound crazy, I wanted to do the pay-per-view.
Of a fight?
Yeah.
Let's just get in the ring with the gloves.
And I still think that'll be dope.
I'm trying to figure out who I'm betting on.
Pay-per-view.
You know what I'm saying saying And this is like cool now
So it ain't like no crazy shit
But I doubt Fab would ever do it
So I wouldn't call him out on a thing
Cause then it would be like a singer versus rapper
Like you gotta take the
You gotta take the bout if I
If I call it out

You're a big artist for us, man.
It's a big, it's a big thing for us, man.
So, all right.
So you moved on.
The shit is popping.
Okay.
So, yeah, so I thought pay-per-view would be dope.
You know what I'm saying?
But at the time, I was still, like, just upset with what I did.
So I just kind of laid low for a few months.
You know what I'm saying?
So you never brought it up to him or his people about the pay-per-view?
Nah, I was going to say it the next day, but I would have just been
digging myself a bigger hole
than what I was already in. But I thought
that would be the best way to just kind of lay it all
out. What y'all think, pay-per-view?
Nah, he ain't doing that shit. Of course
not. Nah, but it would have been kind of cool.
I think pay-per-view would have been it.
Yeah, it would have been it.
It would have been it. I don it would have been it. It would have been it.
It would have been it.
But I don't think.
And why you say Fab wouldn't do pay-per-view?
I mean, because it's a stretch.
It's a stretch.
Like, you know, like, most people would like.
We'll probably be able to pull in, like, $10 million on that.
Yeah, but then the nigga don't want a loss.
Either or.
Like, some people, like.
Somebody had to take the loss with you.
Did somebody do that?
Sticky Fingers.
Sticky Fingers.
Yeah, yeah. But they're not technically rappers, though.? Sticky Fingers. Sticky Fingers. Yeah, yeah.
But they're not technically rappers, though.
They're low-bending.
Sticky did it.
Sticky did it.
Sticky did it.
He fought, right?
He fought a white boy,
and it looked like the white guy won.
I remember that.
I remember that part.
You remember?
I was just like this.
I remember.
Sticky's my boy.
It didn't turn out the way I think.
I bet on Sticky.
That's why I'm a little scared.
Sticky lost?
It didn't look like he won. I can tell you that. I can tell you that. That's my I'm a little scared. Sticky loss? It didn't look like he wanted me.
I can tell you that.
I can tell you that.
That's my friend, though.
I love sticky.
I love sticky.
That's my nigga.
I fuck him.
So, Ray J, I got to ask this because... Can I use your ass straight to the ground?
Of course, you can use my ass.
It was all good.
So, at the time, when you made I Hate It First, were you being petty?
Or that's just how you wanted to feel?
Well, I think at that time I was just mentally petty.
Word.
You know, mentally petty and just having too much fun.
Okay, what does that mean, mentally petty?
Mentally petty.
I need to get there.
Really not thinking about the other side and, you know, what it might do, how it might make people feel. Not just that the other side of just who I was talking about
were just really the fans and people who depend on you to do right.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it's like, I seem like over the years,
just some of the fans growing with me,
they kind of got upset and kind of lost hope in me.
You know what I'm saying?
And I kind of felt that.
So I was like, you know what?
After that song, I was just like, let me rethink this whole thing. Yeah'm saying? And I kind of felt that. So I was like, you know what? After that song,
I was just like,
let me,
let me rethink this whole thing.
Yeah,
that's kind of deep.
That's deep.
I respect that.
I didn't expect that answer.
I respect that answer.
I didn't expect it.
I just,
you know,
I mean,
I like to have a lot of fun
and I,
you know,
anybody know me,
I like to,
when,
even when I'm selling products,
I feel like the buyer
is already in a,
in a weird mood because you're spending money, right?
So if you're spending money and you're having fun spending money
or buying it from somebody who's enjoying the sale,
it's a better buy.
So I like to have fun, but sometimes, you know,
when I was younger, I just went a little too far.
I think I hit it first was a little bit,
it was wrong timing, and then just,
I think it was just distasteful.
You know what I'm saying? I respect that.
I got to ask this to you.
Kanye West in the ring
who wins? Well see that's
what I was saying so let me go back to the
pay-per-view. This is already good.
I was asking man. Here are the schedules
to use.
So at first I was going to try to go
when me and Bird was at our little shit
I said let's me and Berg start off
Young Berg?
Yeah
Yeah that's my guy
And we older now
So even all the shit that we was going through
Anybody
Anybody that I ever had a problem with
I ironed it out
I got a kid
I got another kid coming
It's all love
My apologies right
But I felt like it could be me and Berg
if I won that one. No, I'm betting on you.
Right? And then if I won that, then I'm like,
yo, Fab, you know I'm ready.
You know what I'm saying? Pay-per-view, right?
And then Fab getting the ring.
So if I boom,
get Fab, boom, and then
Kanye with the last
one.
This is insane.
That was in my mind.
I can tell he's really thinking like this.
That's what I had thought.
One, two, three.
And that would be like the one.
Was you going to have Floyd train you?
Nah, nah.
I was going to have a new trainer.
Oh, okay.
I got a new trainer.
What's up with you and Floyd, man?
I was going to have Princess train me.
Oh.
Because Princess knows how to fight.
Get out of here.
Yeah, Princess is a fighter.
What happened when you were
Floyd? You think y'all ever would patch it up?
We patched, yeah, everything patched
up. Like when I see everybody, you know,
it's all cordial. You know what I'm saying? I just
feel like everybody got their own
path they gotta go down. And I think
sometimes when you get caught up in somebody else's
path, you lose focus on who you
are. And you start to do things that might not be who you are because you're not walking down the path that you're supposed to walk down.
So all of those dudes help me shape and make adjustments to really trying to do what I do as a boss.
You know what I'm saying?
And so I appreciate all of them.
So, like, I was watching Love and Hip Hop Which is a show I love
And Brandy said to you
That she's now
Ray J's sister
Oh wow
Like you was Brandy's brother
Impossible
That's crazy
Every time she say that
I'm like come on B
Stop
But it's kind of
It's real sister
I can tell she loves it
I'll always be Brandy's brother
And I'm cool with that title.
That's dope.
That was my title.
And that was when it was easier for me to just like really just live and have fun.
Right.
And so just getting into my own, now you know you can't be sold.
And what I learned is she's the one who took homeboy eye out from him and Joe.
I had no idea.
It's that we was real young.
What do you mean?
Oh, you don't watch Love & Hip Hop at all.
Anyway, I didn't know that.
They played that on Love & Hip Hop?
Yeah.
See, I don't watch that show.
Jesus, my dude.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Can you tell both of us about it?
It's a scene where Brandy and her sister's talking and she's explaining to him how she felt
about seeing Immature because she had through something
or through a book and that's the reason why
you see the guy with Immature.
You know, I've seen that patch.
I thought it was always, I thought it was a prop.
I never knew that.
One of the other members that was in the group had,
they were young but I think he had touched her the wrong way.
And she had got mad and she had grabbed something and she tried to throw it at him.
Wow, I didn't even know it got even deeper.
Yeah, and then Romeo was right there when he, like, moved out the way.
But, yeah, it was something in that world and she got mad.
And it was just, it was a bad night.
You know what I'm saying?
A little fizz is
out here fucking up the bag jesus is he not great how did you feel about it because you you you knew
they were smacking like well i mean i really didn't feel nothing about it like you know

You took out the B.
Yeah.
Ray 2K.
I was going to Ray 2K it.
Ray 2K it.
They wouldn't win.
They would not win it.
They made a good choice.
They made a good choice.
When you, Fizz, and what's the other one, Boogz, got together? Oh, man, he was not liking that, man.
Because Boog is a young boss, so he didn't give a fuck about what I was talking about.
He was gangsta.
I respect that.
Yeah, no, I respect him, too.
He's the one that kind of got us all together to do the tour we're doing now.
Well, we're doing a few shows.
Wait, wait, the tour you're doing now, that's not with Fizz.

But how we touched, but we didn't,
we still didn't touch on like Puff and everybody.
I would like to put you to the fab, all of that.
Okay, yes.

I don't think you're supposed to get an invite to church.
I think you're supposed to pull up.

Juice WRLD just passed away, rest in peace.
And now they're saying that he put perks in his mouth
because the feds...
Okay, we're gonna let this moment go.

On the plane
So they told him
To bring it down
As the plane landed
They said the feds rushed in

What does Lean do to you?
It, like, it brings you? It brings you down
Because if you like up all the time
And you want to get some rest
You want to chill
It kind of brings you down
And then if you can handle it long enough
It makes you
I don't want to say creative
Because then I'm promoting
Does it make you feel like NyQuil?
I would imagine it's times a hundred
It just depends on the time.
Like, it depends on how much you take.
Regardless, like, you in a zone that, you know, I don't know, it's just bad.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's bad that you can die off of it.
And not alone, everybody should stop.
You know, it's hard.
Somebody can come up with alternates for people who like to come, you know what I'm saying?
Like, there's actually cannabis on lean.
That's what I'm saying.
They got the cannabis lean.
But a strand of it?
No,
it's like,
there's lean,
it's like you have a strand of it.
Yeah,
yeah.
We working on one too.
Oh yeah?
But it's something
that's out now.
If you a lean drinker,
you like want it to like,
you want to pour it
a certain way,
you want it to fall
into the soda
a certain way.
It's a culture too now.
It's a whole process.
You get addicted
to just having it
and then that whole lifestyle.
Yeah, it's the whole thing.
Getting the cups,
the ice,
your choice of soda,
juice,
you know what I mean?
The pour,
the look,
the shake,
the whole thing.
It's the whole thing.
But it's bad.
It's bad.
I don't wish to.
Yeah, so
to come up with something
that's an alternate
would be, you know.
You don't consider yourself addicted to it?
No, I don't.
Okay.
I don't mean, I'm not like a heavy lean drinker like some of the people I know.
But I know when they be pulling up, it's like, Jesus.

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. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about
what happened when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself to
one visionary mission.

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.

What do you like?
You've been in the game so long.
What do you like better,
making the music or performing it?
I like doing all that shit on the side.
What do you mean?
Meaning like I get off work and then I go to the studio.
I book any studio
Like Circle House
Or wherever out here
Hit Factory
For two days
And just work
But just
For the sport of it
Like just to like
Go to the gym
You know what I'm saying
So you don't love music
Like that no more
I love music
That's the best way to create music
You don't have the pressure
Of whatever releasing it
To put it out
I be feeling like
I don't know
I should put it out
But I don't be putting it out Cause I don't know. I just feel like it's a stretch. I
Like streaming and I own all my shit so I could see everything from one wish and all the sales even to this day
The streams
Even if the streams is good like the money's good
It's just come music is confusing like if i sell a
product i know exactly what it is i know exactly what i'm getting i know exactly what to upgrade
you could drop something that you just did yesterday and it'll go number one as opposed to
you know somebody might be in the studio working for six months on a song and they don't know
nothing they're just tricky it's too opinionated and then when you're getting paid, you don't understand the analytics
of how much you're getting paid.
So if you're a big producer and you drop a hit,
you get 80,000, 50,000, 30,000
all the checks coming in,
but you never really tried to create this analytic
to say what is it coming from
and what are the numbers exactly going back and forth
so I can really build a business around that.
So it's just confusing.
So you're saying you like slinging products more than music?
Tangible products is really what he's saying.
That's a big word.
I don't know what tangible means.
What the fuck does that mean?
Like physical shit.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah?
You like it?
I do.
I think I like podcasting more than I like rapping.
I still love rapping.
More than DJing, too.
Yeah, I can see that
I can see that
It's alcohol making a nigga hot
Yeah I mean it's been hot
You told me you was going back to the hotel
For a sweater
Well I went to get the D square sweater
Because I wanted to make sure I came on to the show
Dressed right
I changed my jeans over here
But it's getting hot in this
motherfucker.
Can I get the Raycon towel?
That's a Tiger Bone work.
Can we get a Raycon towel?
What's that? A Raycon towel.
You got towels too?
Just for me.
I can't think of something that I can't type in.
So.
Cedar fill. This is good stuff.
We've never had anybody bring Cedar field.
What is that?
That's the bomb lotion.
It's like cream.
It's real, real.
I thought you were saying Raycon looks.
No, no, no.
I ain't doing lotion.
But I wouldn't mind doing a Cedar field commercial.
So what is next for, so right now, so the people that's listening to us That can't see
You got headphones
Yeah
You got
These are pods
So these are
Earbuds
So these are earbuds
Earbuds
And how much they go for
Cause we love
These go for 69
79
These go for 79
But 69
Right now
It's a holiday cold
Like being holiday 15
And you get 15% off the earbuds.
You know what I'm saying?
Type in holiday 15 or you can type in-
So they lessen the AirPods and then you got-
Half the price of the competition,
better sound, better quality, in my opinion.
It's all opinionated but I got a bunch of different colors
too and different styles.
So I got the E25s, I got the E55s, I got the H100s.
But that's like a DJ.
Yeah, these are over here.
How much a part of the technology are you in the process of?
All the time.
Like every two months we try to upgrade
the earbuds.
So we take everything
from what our customers tell us about it.
Everything that they feel
could be better in it,
and we just, we do it.
So we take everything that our customers tell us,
or people that I might give them to you,
and you might tell me something, or your opinion on them,
and I'll listen to that and I'll go back in
and I'll tell them to recreate and make better.
It's like buying a Benz in 99,
and buying a Benz in 2019.
Where are these manufactured?
Shenzhen.
Where?
In China.
Shenzhen.
Next year though, listen, 2020,
I'm working on something so big with the engineering.
They gonna get the engineering to come to America?
The engineers that I have,
that's gonna take this to the next level
cause right now they banging.
Like I got the bass in them hit way harder than the ear pods.
The sound is dope.
They don't fall out your ear.
They not got something weird hanging out your ear.
And then you can get different colors.
I could wear the black today, the red tomorrow, the champagne, the purple, the green, the blue,
the black and gold, the white, the white and gold, the white and gray.
Like, you could have a closet full of earwood.
Part of your wardrobe.
Goddamn.
Exactly.
Boom, dog.
Goddamn.
When he said that, I saw the...
Right.
So, I like selling.
I'm a seller.
How's the speakers?
Because the speakers, I remember, I went to your crib.
The speaker just...
The speaker's magnetic. It's magnetic, yeah. How's the speakers? Because the speakers, I remember, I went to your crib, the speaker just...
Speaker's magnetic.
It's magnetic, yeah.
We got a knife or something to cut this?
Dude, that's very racist.
Because you look around, you see Latinos,
you automatically think we got a knife.
That's very racist, Ray J.
I caught that.
I caught that.
I understand what you mean.
I was just talking with you.
And then, you know, we got the over the ears, too.
We started with these products right here.
These are the ones we started with.
We started with like smart watches.
So what's the goal?
For Apple to come and buy you or for you to build your own Apple?
Well, yeah, we just want to keep building.
Our structure is different from like Dre because Dre and Jimmy Iovine had a different platform
a bigger
just a bigger connection
with us we building this shit from the ground up
like really starting it from
nothing and really
really relying on our customers
and the people around us
to love the product so they can keep coming back
and that's what's happening
and you got into Walmart right?
no I got something going on with Walmart.
We about to do a Mr. Walmart campaign.
It's just for social media, but things grow over time.
Sounds rich.
Mr. Walmart is coming through.
Hashtag Mr. Walmart.
So what does that mean when you do that campaign?
It's going to be in the stores or limited stores or online?
Well, it just builds our relationship because I just hosted the Soul Train Awards free
show and I've seen Walmart there because they were one of the actually like the
nigga name wall no I think the people that do all of the promotion I've seen
them I know that in the future we definitely want to be in Walmart and the head people at Walmart. The execs. The execs. Come on, let's let it be Mr. Walmart. So I've seen him.
I know that in the future
we definitely want to be in Walmart
and we want to do some stuff.
So I've really just shouted Walmart out crazy
because I was a big fan.
I said Walmart, I think, 18 times
during a Soul Train pre-show.
And then we talked after we went to dinner.
And then we just came up with
this Mr. Walmart campaign.
Soft promo.
Fun.
You know what I mean?
And it'll grow.
It'll grow. Soft promo. Fun. You know what I mean? And it'll grow. It'll grow.
Shout out to Walmart.
Because
would that be the ultimate goal?
To have Apple come in
and like wipe you out?
Or you want to...
Maybe, depending on what Mr. Lee and Ray Lee
want to do. I think our numbers
are growing rapidly.
And so whatever happens in the future, I'm down for. You know, right now we just want to keep building
our company and just staying consistent and growing.
I'm okay.
Just keep it growing like that.
And God will make the next play for us.
Here are the speakers.
Anything metal.
Anything metal.
Try the bucket.
It already stuck to this right here.
Got that.
Oh, don't worry about it.
Let's drink champagne.
This is what happens.
Drink champagne?
Yes.
Okay, there we go.
They both on.
It's Bluetooth, right?
Yeah.
What's up up there?
Drink.
That's me.
All right.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What's up up there? That's me. So, it can connect to any phone,
but it's really dope
because you can put your own SIM card in here
and have this as its own phone.
You can put all your music into the watch
and then just Bluetooth the watch to a speaker
so that you were just on your phone
and your watch was on there.
That's great.
Now, WJ, I got to...
But we don't sell the watches, I'm just...
I got to tell you something.
After you did this, everyone tried to do it and they failed
After your sex tape game out
Everyone thought they can be a sex...
And niggas didn't blow up.
Your sex tape like set off a whole career for a person.
You gotta feel like that, right? Kinda?
I feel like, you know, I'm married now.
Yeah, I know. This is in the past.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't, I really don't speak on it cause out of respect know. This is in the past. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is prior. Yeah, I can't.
I really don't speak on it
because out of respect
for the wife and for the baby.
We're being respectful.
Oh, no, no.
You can ask whatever you want.
I got the answer for it.
Very respectful.
I love you.
But we can't ignore the fact
that this was one of the biggest moments
in music history.
Music?
In my opinion.
Just let me wrap with it. Music? In my opinion.
He was listening to music like...
Listen, listen. It was like you
and I think R. Kelly.
You and R. Kelly.
Y'all had the hottest mixtapes.
If you got published in Alphabet,
you would've killed the game.
Not R. Kelly like that, but I'm saying...
Don't put me in nothing but R. Kelly.
Yeah, I'm straight. Listen... Don't put me in nothing but R. Kelly. Yeah, I'm straight.
You gotta record with R. Kelly.
Don't put me in no shit with R. Kelly.
You gotta record with R. Kelly.
I dig.
But they didn't do nothing. I ain't put it out like that.
Yeah, yeah.
But what I'm saying is, for the hood, like that...
Y'all had like the hottest mixtape at one point.
A towel?
Yeah.
At one point, it was like, you gotta watch the Ray J tape and R. Kelly eating the bitch ass.
That's just good. It just has to.
I'm just being honest.
It's like, in the hood, at one point, come on man.
I'm the only one that had to admit to this.
Come on, look at y'all niggas.
Everybody's like, yeah, he's right.
Everyone had to watch that shit.
That was like a rite of passage.
I don't know about a rite of passage.
I'm just being honest, my nigga.
So, and you set up that moment.
You know what?
You a real good host.
Oh, the baby.
No, I'm saying,
because I was watching you,
I'm like, you know what?
Nuri got it.
Nuri know how to ask the questions.
He knows how to still be kind.
He knows how to like,
he's a great man.
He brings that song to the pool.
The pool.
The pool.
The pool.
You know how to deliver the beginning statement and then right at the end when you think you're going this way, you all the way over here. He's coming up, he's coming up.
You just want my whole car. You didn't switch the shoe. Like, Drew Champs is successful
because you are guiding
the show.
I appreciate that.
You're definitely driving the yacht.
I appreciate that, my brother.
But this moment that you had,
right?
He's still trying to drive it right now.
No, because I'm just being honest.
I remember
people saying that porn companies came to try to...
Did you get a check from that?
From where?
From the...
You got a check?
No.
He's saying you got offers from porn companies.
Yeah, like you got a check on that?
You know what?
It's all a blur to me.
Come on, this can't be a blur.
It's all a blur.
You know, because I think when I get home, am I going to sleep in the bed or am I going to sleep on the couch?
Good answer.
Good answer.
That's a great fucking answer, by the way.
I want to sleep in the bed.
But for my show, this is not a good answer.
I want to be on the couch.
You know, and we got a leather couch.
Yeah.
I don't want to do that.
I got to change couches.
No, I'm going to be honest,
but that was like one of the ill moments
or viral moments the first time we got to see.
And then this woman has blossomed.
That's not a good word.
I can talk with y'all, man.
Blossom is not a good word.
What is that? That's the question. She has blossomed fucking talk with y'all, man. Blossom is not a good word. What is that?
That's what she had, blossomed.
Why would you do that?
You gotta be proud.
Proud?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
But you know.
I'm focused.
You're focused.
Yeah.
But there's a part of you that says,
huh, I made that happen.
You know what I mean?
Not a little piece?
Take a little piece.
Take a little piece from there.
Take a little piece from there.
Man, you know, all I do is just, like, I just stay focused.
I just keep going.
Yes.
You know what I'm saying?
Whatever happened in the past happened in the past.
And, you know, even when I was speaking on it on the other interview,
when I was talking about my drawers. You were talking about what? I was talking about, like, you know, even when I was speaking on it on the other interview, when I was talking about my drawers,
I was talking about, like,
sometimes, like, when I'm on the move,
like, I wear designer drawers, too. I wash those
drawers. You know
what I'm saying? I wash those drawers.
I don't know where we're going, Ray J, but I'm in.
But sometimes when I go to CBS
for a ball game,
and I get to draw the three-pack for, like like $4.99, sometimes $6.99.
The great Jay's very good too because he has not asked it at all.
We went to laundry and he's calling $6.99 right now.
This is very good.
It's very good.
What I'm saying is all of the clothes that I don't wear no more, I give them to goodwill and stuff.
So I just wanted people to know I'm not just throwing my clothes away like I do
I'm definitely lost at this point It's like there's actual alcohol in there? Yeah, it's herb actually. That's how we get it when we say it's herb. Then it tastes like alcohol. It's liquor.
It's liquor.
It's liquor but- It tastes like hot sauce.
It tastes like hot sauce.
It's boiled soy sauce.
That's what we mean.
It's boiled?
Yes.
It's smoked?
It's smoked smoked champagne.
It's boiled?
In my mind.
In my mind.
Oh, it's not spoiled.
It's not really.
It's spoiled something.
Yeah.
This is honestly like Styles P.
This is made in Shenzhen too.
It's in there.
Styles P got a juice bar? Yeah. Styles P got a juice bar?
Yeah, Styles P got a juice bar for Juice for Life.
He got a cup for you?
He got a few?
Yeah, no, no, no.
I'm just trying to open up one with him out here.
I support Styles P.
Holiday.
I was trying to get him a cup of tea.
Mmm.
Mmm.
So now you're rapping.
Holiday.
Nah, I'm just talking to the people.
Okay.
I'm just talking to the people.
Because I'm such a fan of Ray J, the singer, that I didn't want to accept you rapping at first.
This new song, Technology, is a real campaign.
I like it.
It grew on me.
It's a campaign.
Give it to me.
Do you listen to it?
The first one I did, I got it here.
Well, I think you got the wrong mix.
Oh, yeah.
You're probably right.
The one I got now, I go straight into the verse.
No, it's hard.
It's hard.
But I'm really just talking to him, really just explaining where I was.
A lot of these ideas I be saying, and sometimes it be sounding, it may come off silly.
Right.
Or it may come off a little over the top.
Right.
But it's really real.
So when they see stuff evolve, I want people to start taking, like, some of the loud, crazy ideas I have serious.
Because we can get bags from those.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Because I go after it
straight up like you know I want to be in business with Walmart so when I seen the opportunity
I went for it I see Ford I've seen Ford on three different occasions now on three different things
I hosted wait Ford in the back the nigga named Ford no no, man, the company. The car company. Ford, F-O-R-D. Yeah, so.
But his long dead.
It's a nigga named Ford.
I'll hear some weirdo.
Right, so it's Tom Ford, too.
But myself and Posse Performance, we designed a new Ford.
I don't know if, did you see the Ford at the house?
The Ford?
No.
The GT.
Oh, I did.
I didn't know that you designed that.
Yeah, so we designed that joint.
So I keep seeing Ford, right? I'm like, damn, I want to show them the design, I did. I didn't know that you designed that. Yeah, so we designed that joint. So I keep seeing Ford, right?
I'm like, damn, I want to show them the design that we did
so maybe we can just at least do 10 custom Raycon Fords, right?
Positive performance.
So that's what I'm going after next because I've been seeing them too much.
So that's what I'm saying.
I try to see something and then I go for it until I at least get a yes or a no.
Now, I went to your...
Kim, you invited me to your house.
Beautiful home.
One of the best places I've seen.
You got levels to your shit, literally, right?
There was one thing I was disappointed in.
You must have had the worst vodka I've ever drank in my life.
I know you hated it.
I drank every drop of it, though.
You drank it all.
I was complaining about the vodka. But he drank the whole thing. I drank it. You hated it. I drank every drop of it, though. You drank it all. I was getting ready to go shopping.
He kept complaining about the vodka, but he drank it all.
I drank it all.
He drank it.
He was complaining about it so bad.
I wanted to have a drink.
I was like, let me take this and see what you think.
We got to get you right, AJ.
We got to get some syrup in your career.
I don't really drink.
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, well, you got to have it for the people who like me.
Yeah, no doubt.
You got to have good.
No doubt.
Because you had like, I don't know, what kind of vodka? No, I remember you. I was going to go to the store. No doubt good. No, John had like
Remember you don't go to the store. He's like now. Let's just get let's just finish it out
We won't get you right from next time I come to the crib make sure you got a great vodka, you know, I'm saying
We gonna have that book in the vodka what was was it I don't want to say what it was but because it was like well it was like this it was like to shit you drink in Russia like for straight like you know you know say we drink is
basically drinking right that's how I mean like I think I have Russian vodka
yeah cuz you know the crazy shit in Russia if you mix it with apple juice or orange juice, they call you a pussy. Yeah, you got to take a shot.
So in Russia, you got to go straight.
We went in.
We went in.
But remember, I was like, yo, I wanted one of the pineapple.
And then when they brought me the pineapple, I acted like that was not me.
I said, I didn't want that shit.
And we went straight.
And then it was fucking fucked up.
But he had that vodka.
How the fuck he had that in his house?
I like the champagne.
Champagne?
Yeah, it's free.
I didn't get this for free. Some of my guys in Kentucky are inside that bottle. How the fuck he had that in his house? I like the champagne. The Ace of Spades. I didn't get this for free.
Some of my guys in Kentucky are inside that deal.
Oh, yeah? I didn't get this for free.
Hold it. I sent this to me for free.
I got the William Ray LA Cannabis line.
I got the peanut butter and jelly.
Some of the dopest flour

What's your relationship with Alan Gronla?
I love his face I love this.
I love it.
That's a bad batch, man.
Yeah, that's a bad batch.
I agree.
What's a bad batch?
Extra spoiled.
Extra fermented.
Was that two or that three?
That's two.
I'm stopping at three.
You start at four. We'll start with three. Okay. extra fermented that's one or three that's two I'm stopping at three please my lucky no you still got four
he's
that's what this conscious but it was it was catching out even yeah He said he spoke to Randy acting said all he does is down business from now on his what down
Down Jones
So
That's what another white person.
It wasn't like he said it to a... So, what does that exactly mean?
He's only...
I'm asking Ray J.
They're saying he's in business with the Damus.
You know what I mean?
Big business.
You know, Los Angeles Confidential, which is the game.
Whack 100.
Big up Whack.
And, of course, Blue Blueface he's doing business with
both sides but he's in
big business with Death Row
they own Death Row
the apparel
so they own Death Row?
what was that? oh the apparel because I heard there was some crazy deal
we're all in business now we're all
together so as you see
and Nick Cannon got something to do with this too?
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
So what was the rights thing with you?
The whole thing about you getting the life right.
2020.
2020.
We'll let everybody know what's happening.
Oh, okay.
But as you see, I'm soft launching like the whole play.
Like you're already reffing it, right?
And A1 is really delivering the apparel.
Like they're making some new Defro apparel
that's out of control.
And Defro apparel has been in American apparel.
The Defro brand has been in all the mainstream
brand stores and stuff.
They've been licensing that for a while.
Yeah, I've seen that actually.
You go into American apparel,
they have the Defro shirts and all this.
This was a couple years ago.
So the marketing team over at Defro Apparel is killing it.
So you don't have the light price to shoot?
He said he gonna talk about it.
Yeah, what I'm saying is,
once I get the green light from Simon,
Okay, Simon, that's just a street name.
Yeah, once I get the green light from Simon,
That's how I know you're a real gangbanger.
No, no, no.
Only niggas that call him Simon is the best.
I'm a part of it.
Yeah, I know, nigga, I know, nigga. I'm a good guy. I'm a good guy. Yeah, I know. No
Once they once they give me the green light
He did what this
Is on the intro and the outro but that's all
Right now yeah Like how new is that yesterday today?
Don't say I'm only thing that hurt me can is this record
And so should called in and got sugar's over intro and the outro
And he's riding with motherfucking Nick Cannon.
I tell you, I don't know how real it is, but my people are saying that...
That Nick is a gangbanger?
No, they're speaking to somebody in Suge's camp and he's down to call in.
Oh, yeah.
And do drink chants.
I don't know how real it is.
Shit, Ray J got the plug.
Yeah.
Ray J got the plug.
I'll make the call.
Shout out to you being THC, the ones that was talking about it.
No, we'll make it happen.
I'll see what he says.
Because you a real South Central guy, right?
I'm from Carson.
Carson?
Carson.
Carson and Compton is like...
Brass Cats from Carson, too.
Yeah, Carson was Compton, but then they recreated the whole section and made it a little bit, I guess, different.
But it's all the same shit.
Carson, Long Beach, Compton, it's all
like...
Now, you had to grow up seeing the gangbang
and shit. So, how
did that, how was, like, that
affected you? You know,
I say it was
in the right move.
You know what I'm saying? Like,
everybody that's, like, it's a part of gangbang, and I think that's fun. Like, what I'm saying? Like everybody that's,
like it's a part of gangbanging.
I think that's fun.
Like the way you're celebrating and you're partying,
but then there's the other side
that's like real dark.
And I think anybody
that's even banging,
I mean, in their mindset,
they want to get out.
You know what I'm saying?
They want to make money.
They want to take care of their family.
They want to, you know,
do bigger things.
And so I think that's more
the approach that's,
how you should look at where you've been or who you know or who you affiliated with and try to find opportunities for everybody to be successful and get out and really do
positive things. I think that's where everybody's trying to go.
So how do you feel about people who get famous and then they kind of like, you know, join
a gang. Well,
like I said,
there's a,
there's a
celebratory,
is that a word?
Celebratory,
yeah.
That's what I'm
naming my next album,
Celebratory.
Oh,
that's hard.
Celebratory Nori?
Yeah,
I was going to call it that.
Celebratory Nori.
Celebratory Nori,
okay.
So,
it's a celebratory side
where it's a really fun side
of it too,
like,
where everybody's together and you're affiliated and you're loving each other.
You got each other back.
It's lit.
Again, there's another side.
And that other side, I think everybody want to stay away from.
Everybody want to do better.
You know what I'm saying?
So, I mean, that's the message.
Like Soulja Boy, for instance, when he went to the hood, he was, like,
trying to, like, put his arm around the dude and the dude pushed him.
Like, did you think he was out of line or did you think about that situation? I mean, Soulja my dude, but I don't think, I think it just, that's how he felt.
You know what I'm saying?
I think it was some of the fruit teams.
Right.
You know, he felt like, you know, he didn't know him.
Right.
And so he couldn't relate to him.
Like put his arm up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he was just really probably just standing up for the real shit he believed in.
You know what I'm saying?
But, you know, I really don't speak on nigga shit.
Like, Soulja want to do what he do.
Right.
Shit, that nigga talented.
He obviously has a certain plan so you can't never like take someone's plan night can never be naive to someone else's plan okay because you can always
you know be wrong right so you just kind of just well Well, now I'm 42 years old. I'm happily married. I'm happily married. You're looking good, man.
But I'm not talking to who you are now.
We still never got the fab thing out the way.
I'm kidding.
We don't go back to it.
We'll go back to it.
Y'all can cut it.
Yes, yes, yes.
Do y'all edit?
Not really.
I'm not talking to who you are now.
This family man with a kid on the way.
I'm not talking to that man now.
I'm talking to the younger version of Ray J,
right?
You was knocking things down
out here.
I'm not going to lie. I was there every
other week. They said, Ray J
dismissed the yalla
yalla. And then you was,
I mean, you had a good run,
did you?
Did you have a good run, you? Did you have a good run?
I'm just asking
and that's why I was
able to fall back
because I know it's on the other side
of the curtain
it was fun
I was young I'm 38
it's a wrap like what else
can you do?
Once you get to a certain age and you're trying to be in the younger demo,
if you're in the younger demo, that's fine.
You can connect to the younger demo.
But if you're trying to be still in that world as far as all that,
I just think that's a straight up question.
I think it's cheating.
Did you live back in the days?
Like I said, my jersey is hung
up to me in every stadium all around the
world. In every
stadium of that
genre of shit,
I should have a jersey.
But that means that I'm retired.
Yeah, no, I'm retired. I've been retired from school. That means that the jersey retired. Yeah, no, I'm retired.
I've been retired for some time.
I've been washed up for quite some time.
The jersey of me is a wrap.
You know what I mean?
I've done my shit.
You done moved on from that.
I made it out.
I was able to, you know.
I've been washed up for quite some time.
I've been able to get married, then had a baby.
You know what I mean?
I was able to kind of squeeze everything out.
Boom, I'm done.
And then move on to the next phase.
Now, this next phase
is
fun. It's challenging.
You're really married. You're married, man.
I'm married, man.
I'm married, too.
You know what I'm saying? We both got our rings on. That doesn't mean nothing.
Can you please tell us?
That doesn't mean nothing. My ring is a jury.
So it goes with it.
Like, my wife, she's right down the block.
I got a tattoo.
Yeah, but I see they try to make,
TNC try to make a big deal of you.
I really got the tattoo.
You not having your ring on,
so I purposely didn't wear my ring on,
and I'm a loyally happy man.
That's one, I want to have your back.
Black men, we don't cheat.
Black men don't cheat.
We don't cheat.
We don't cheat.
So I got your back, Ray J.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what?
And certain things are still unacceptable.
I didn't like to try to make a big deal out of that.
Like, yeah.
Look, he used to have his ring on.
So fucking what?
You know my hands was ashy.
Come on, my man.
You like, so what?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I got my man.
I got a tattoo with the date of when you got married.
I didn't know.
You took it way too far with the tattoo.
She told me to do it in a row.
I got one.
Oh, that's awesome. But did you get one? I got one. I got a tattoo with the date when you got married. I didn't know.
You took it way too far, the tattoo.
She told me to do it.
I got one.
Oh, that's awesome.
But then she said, I can't see it.
I said, I'll get it.
I'll get it darkened.
I'll get it darkened.
You already saw his face.
I'll get it.
I'll get it wide now. Design on it. It's crazy. So should I get it thisened. I get it darkened. I get it wide now.
I got a little design on it.
So should I get it this wide?
Okay, I got you guys.
You know what I mean?
So I just got to upgrade it.
I'm going to be honest with you.
You know what you remind me of when I went to your house that day?
You remind me of the young version of Puff.
You remember when Puff was just doing everything,
but he was actually good at doing everything.
Yeah, I think he was good,
man.
Yeah,
like,
I can tell that you are into all this shit.
Like,
this is not,
this is not a front for you.
It's not a front.
That's why I'm telling people.
I can tell that.
Like,
I got a,
I got a strong team.
Like,
we got,
our stores is on 28 West,
27th Street,
New York.
We got,
we got Cowboy Wholesale,
but then we got the office upstairs.
We got the whole floor.
And I got a,
I got a killer staff, man, all the way from South Korea to Hong Kong.
And the customer service is solid.
Our drop shipping is really, really on point.
Our warehouses from Jersey all the way down to South Korea,
we've got a full-on, really good team.
And without the team, I can't just market
and then try to do everything else
cause then you will never have a successful company.
You have to have all these people in play
from the CEO to the CFO.
I'm the CSO, even though I'm the co-founder, I'm the CSO.
I'm the strategic marketer.
I do all strategic marketing.
Did you just say CSO?
The CSO what is that chief
strategist officer did you make the first time I ever heard of that
and you gotta have a good CEO you gotta have a good CEO. You gotta have a good COO. You know, somebody to really know how to be an operations...
Chief Operational Officer.
You know, somebody that's really dope with the operations side.
This thing is different, y'all.
You see my nigga F's hair?
It's just very distracting.
You see F's hair?
He's probably like Chris Brown and Dennis Rodman had a baby together.
The blonde hair distracted me.
I'm sorry.
I had the blonde.
I had the blonde.
I had the blonde for one of the reunions.
Yeah.
Was you on ecstasy at that time?
No, I wasn't.
I feel like when you take the blonde hair, that ecstasy goes with it.
I'm just throwing it out there.
I was in the room.
Princess was getting on.
She had her own glam squad.
Somebody do my hair, too.
Word.
You know? Been in for two hours. Just two years. Somebody look glam squad. Somebody do my hair too. Word. You got them?
Been in for two hours, just two years.
Somebody look me up, take me to her.
So it's not peroxide?
I thought y'all niggas just went in and peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide.
I just think that when you got the blonde,
everybody looking at you.
Like, people look at you more, you know what I'm saying?
And I felt more, like, you know what I'm saying?
Not being paused, but I felt more exotic.
But you thought you was from Brazil?
I felt exotic.
The women, you know what I'm saying?
I was like, man, this is different.
They looking at me different.
Oh my God.
But I felt more exotic with the blonde. Looking at me different. Oh my God. Your twin.
Right?
But I felt more excited with the
Blum.
Now on Love & Hip Hop.
So I took it off.
On Love & Hip Hop
you say you ain't
do a full tour.
Never.
You never did a full tour?
I've been independent
my whole career.
Atlantic Records
had Wait A Minute.
Wait A Minute?
Yeah.
I'm saying you keep
bringing it out
and you ready to stop that.
Keep going. And then after that I just figured many. Yeah, I'm saying you keep bringing it out of me. You ready to stop that?
Keep going, keep going.
And then after that, I just,
I figured out how to do it.
Cause I didn't really have a lot of money
to market Way Too Many,
but I believed in the song and for real.
So once I did like the small marketing I did
to prove to the label, I was like,
that's all you gotta do to make a song successful?
Then I'm going independent.
Cause I got a whole template I'm creating.
Then I hit him with the One Wish and the Sexy Can. I'm all independent because I got a whole template I'm creating then I hit them with the one wish and the sexy
can I all independent
and that's tough to break a record independent
with a ballet
you know what I mean so I started
so I started to create a template
and then I found out
how to do it you know what I mean
and so I was like
alright cool so now I just took that
same thing and then kind of
brought brought it to the tech and then it's working and you never did a full-fledged tour
because when you I can't I can't I thought you were seafood y'all I didn't think I'd get a tour
bus because I was getting money off the independent like sales so I get a tour bus I'll go to every
radio station in the tour bus but I wouldn't go to the, I didn't have a show.
Oh shit.
I didn't have a show.
He got a tour bus for the radio tour.
For the radio tour, yeah.
I, I, that's crazy.
I gotta tell you though, it's not a show bus, y'all.
Because a lot of times you pull up to the radio station,
the people might be busy, they might be doing something,
you might show up unexpectedly, you, I'm on the bus, I can wait all
day.
Now Ian, now Ian,
we've been having this conversation for
three, four, five years, independent
versus major. This is the reason why
I like major more.
Def Jam would have not let me go
to any market without having a show.
That's a fact.
That's a fact. Without a doubt.
Right?
Like, if I would've dropped
One Wish on Def Jam,
forget about it.
I'm everywhere.
And the song would've progressed
even bigger.
See, this is the reason why
I fuck with the majors.
But it's different times, too, man.
Like, when we dropped
Sexy Cannon,
E1,
Sexy Cannon.
And myself and Shaq,
WAP 100,
Stutterbox,
they was all involved
with this one song
And it took off
And then Epic came
And really took it
All the way to the next level
After you know
Two three million sales
Epic came in
And really took it
You said Shaq?
Yeah Shaq
Shaq was the main investor
For that song
How'd you get Shaq?
Shaquille O'Neal
One of my contacts
And Shaq liked the project
Shaq sell the project.
Shaq sell everything too.
I didn't say your insurance.
That's different.
That's different.
When a nigga say your insurance,
that's different.
He's the god of it.
Wow.
He's the god of it.
I was just watching TV.
I saw Shaq on maybe like six brands. Yeah, he's on a map.
Every time I see Shaq,
I'll be telling him,
every time I see him,
he just grabs my hand.
I'm like, yo, my nigga, this I see it. He's grabbed my head. I go my nigga. This is not good
Like you can't do that to me you can't shoot a six-foot dude so after the point it came out, did your pussy game go off?
Like I said, you know.
Because I felt like a lot.
I felt like that's where you became a star.
Like a star, like full-fledged. At this point.
After the porn tape.
I'm being honest.
You're my friend.
I could talk like this.
No, no, no.
You're supposed to be able to talk to me.
And I'm supposed to answer.
Yes, yes.

I'm supposed to answer.
Yes, and your pussy game went up.
So the answer to that is
Couch or be

Stiles people want that. I think even my wife would love that.
Stiles people here? Yeah, Stiles people here, bro.

Fuckin' legend.
You ever been to Atana Sano?
Are you trying to fight Pitbull that night?
No, man. I did not try to fight Pitbull.
Yo, this nigga's a fat, let me tell you something.
He was trying to fight the whole club.
For real, you get mad drunk.
See, I used to get mad drunk.
He makes money for quite some time.
I haven't seen him be mad drunk in like four years.
Really?
When I was playing, I was a mad drunk.
I think when you was going that fast,
he was mad drunk, you gotta throw it out there. Well, listen. I was a mad drunk. I think when you was going at Fab, he was mad drunk.
You got to throw that out there.
Well, listen.
I have to throw that out there.
Listen.
We was having a good time.
All right?
Because you want us to clear it up.
Let's just clear it up.
Well, it's all good.
Fab, no.
Fab, no.
We was lit as Vegas.
It was hangover 17.
Yeah, it was hangover 17.
You know what you told me in Vegas one time?
I looked.
You was in a club.
This is before you met Princess.
You said to me,
No, I mean, no one brings their wife to Vegas.
I was so mad at you.
I said that to you?
I said that to you?
I felt like a spirit.
I was like, yo.
I went this way.
And he leaned over to me and said it to her.
He's like, no one brings their wife to Vegas.
I was sitting there waiting for my wife.
I'm like, fuck.
Listen, Vegas for me,
even now,
even just now,
the Las Vegas trip,
it's been a nightmare.
It's been two nightmares
that eventually
turned into something
positive.
You know what I'm saying?
Because even with
the whole fat thing,
that shit turned
into a thing.
You know what I mean?
Indoor, outdoor, pool.
You get what I'm saying?
I was hard,
how you said that.
And what's crazy,
it was not humble. How I said, I'm tired? And what's crazy, it was not humble.
I said, I'm tired of being humble.
No, because niggas had heard Ray J is a wild nigga.
But we didn't know up until that point.
After the fact,
we knew you was a little out of control.
We knew you was out of line, basically.
I was out of line.
But I knew,
I stayed in the crib with the pool
in the living room for six months and I ain't go nowhere.
I was depressed.
Why?
Because you're a publicist?
I just was like that.
He said he was depressed with the pool in the living room.
I said it wasn't cool.
That wasn't.
I'm going to be honest.
And then right now while we're talking, I'm going to send y'all some clips of me depressed in the house.
You're going to send us clips of that?
Yeah, just so y'all know. Put it into context? I think everything should be in the context. You're going to send this clip to them? Yeah, just so y'all know.
Put it into context?
I think everything should be in the context.
So the pool in the living room and depressed
doesn't go together?
It does.
You're going to make somebody else more depressed.
No, but it just wasn't about that.
It was just about...
First of all, problem.
What you just said, a pool in the living room,
nobody can relate to that.
What it is, though, is like pool in the living room? Pool a liver room, nobody can relate to that.
Pool or no pool,
it still was uncool. You was uncool at that moment. Whether you went
home to whatever you had,
at that moment,
you was in an uncool format.
And no pool
could help you.
No pool could help you.
Let's shoot this down.
Let's shoot this down.
This is Tiger Ball. You don't get enough shots. No pool can help you. No pool can help you. No pool can help you. Let's shoot this down. Let's shoot this down.

One moment in your life
I wouldn't do nothing different
Everything I did
Was able to lead me to the next
place. Part of the journey. As long as I
looked at it and tried to make adjustments.
There was times I made mistakes and said
I'm going to make adjustments and I didn't. And I made the
same mistake like four times.
And then God gave
me another shot again.
And I was just like, let me try to make some adjustments.
And then when I started to make the adjustments,
things started to align up. You know what I mean? And so you know, it's the leak

I got to ask you a question.
I told myself on Drink Champs that I wasn't going to drink.
You told people you wasn't going to drink on Drink Champs?
I just told myself.
I said I was going to try to take a drink shot. I wasn't gonna drink You told people you wasn't gonna drink on drinks yet? I just told myself
I said I was gonna try to take a drink chat
and y'all got me twisted
So Styles let me ask you something
You still running right?
This is a legendary story that's
on drink chats but it didn't happen on drink chats
Go ahead
But you had to hear, especially through Kiss
the night that him and Fab
They was there.
You was there?
You got, are you guys part of the story too?
I was there.
No they had put me in there.
Look at this nigga.
I have no, I feel like I'm the only nigga that wasn't there.
They was there.
They had put me in their dressing room.
He was in our dressing room.
That's the whole point.
I felt like you was with Harry.
I was uncont, what? What did you do? Listen, I felt like he was with Harry.
I was uncontrollable.
Yeah.
OK.
Security had grabbed me and like picked me up and put me in a dressing room and had slammed
the door because I was trying to get, I was ready for more.
What happened?
I was ready for more.
That's crazy.
Yo, come on.
Stop.
You know?
Stop.
Yo, he's coming with some of the legendary stories on him, Jeff.
Listen, at the end of the legendary stories on him, Jeff.
Listen, at the end of the day,
I was wrong.
We had squashed it the night
before.
But you forgot, you said.
I got lit, and then
I'm with Fifth, and I'm with
Floyd. So you're saying 50 gas?
I'm a Queens nigga.
I know what's happening.
I was talking a lot of shit,
and they was just like,
yo, if you gonna do something, do something.
Yo, my mind is doing 50 seconds.
And so, I mean, so,
and then, like,
stop talking about it.
Look, look, look.
Stop talking about it.
You know, because I'm like,
you know what I'm saying?
So 50 seconds, yo, stop talking about it.
One of them, one of them told me that.
You're talking about it.
You're talking about it.
I can see this.
I can see this.
I can see this.
But I was talking about it too much.
I was talking shit too much.
And they're like, look, man.
And in your mind, they're like, wait, you ain't, you a R&B nigga.
I'm not going to blame them.
But, you know, and so, but Puff has squashed it, and so right there, that's it.
So anything after that is invalid, so I don't know.
But, yeah.
So I need to understand,
because I was not there at all.
You actually tried to run down on him?
Like you didn't, like you tried to like,
like run up on him?
No, we was, we had a little scuffle.
Holy moly guacamole!
Yo, when I watch, listen, when I watch it
other people... Wait, who?
So you actually
did that?
In my mind, I think we did.
In your half mind, you said
you had me
like down and I was like this.
He said he pulled the hoodie over you. He said it had me like down and I was like this. Oh, he said he pulled the hoodie over you.
He said it on your show.
Word.
You got it.
I'm sorry.
I need your side of the story.
This is what I'm saying.
Y'all was like super lit.
Yeah, yeah, but I need your side of the story.
So, did he pull your hoodie over you?
Probably.
Yeah, probably.
So, for the record, you lost that one or you?
You're terrible.
Nah, I thought I won. You thought you won. I thought I won. You thought you won?
I thought I won.
That wasn't a certified fight. I'm gonna keep it in shape.
That was legit.

He was on it though. He was on it.
I ain't gonna lie, but he was on it.
He was on it.
He was on it.
He was on it.
That was California. He was on a douse. He was on a douse. That was California.
He was California.
I had on no socks.
Did you have on red and white?
I had on red hoodie with the red shorts.
You know what I mean?
No socks with the Versace slippers.
I'm coming from the pool at 2 p.m.
It's like 11.
You know what I'm saying?
I thought he wanted to scrap. He wanted to scrap. 2 p.m. It's like it's like a weapon I get on that is like
We wanted
And no such you know I was a cool nigga so I wonder what's going on you it was like, you know It was like a quick jump
The security was both big
Big security They both had big securities. I physically see this. Both sides had big securities? Big securities. All in the building.
Big securities.
So they neutralized it quick.
It was like, so big dude, it was a tight hallway and big dudes and Ray J popping big shit.
Big time shit.
He was popping.
It was all time niggas dancing around.
This is great.
See, I've been on the road with him,
so I know, you know, I know that...
Wait, you've been on the road together?
Yeah, I remember.
Oh, fuck.
No, the road with him.
So I already know how he's doing.
You know, for me,
he's himself, and when he's, you know,
he does his job, when he's you know what it was though
he was talking holy shit so I was crying like he was talking it became an event I shoot the five. Let's spin the corner. He was so heavy.
He was so heavy.
Yo, bro.
This is the wrong place.
This is the wrong place.
First of all, there's a lot of people with a lot of money around here.
And you're a money nigga.
You ain't no poor alto.
And you good.
This feels bad, bro. Oh, shit. What shot we on? Oh my God! That feels big bro!
Oh shit!
What shot we on?
Nah, he's like, do your full game.
He's smothering so...
I mean that's our job as OGs anyway in the industry.
Cause everybody, when you go through it, you supposed to tell someone else,
you gon' fuck that check up and that bread. This ain't fun.
And y'all was trying to tell me that.
Yeah, this ain't the place. There's a lot of bread in the building at night, D and y'all was trying to tell me yeah This ain't a place a lot of bread in the
Last person expected me fucking up the whole night, but let me actually
In the second corner full detail
Why did you call the breakfast club? What did they ask you to call?
Nah, because just so you know, it means bad man
So I called Billy J
And I hit Billy J and I knew he wouldn't put me on the phone.
Billy Jay my guy out of New York.
Okay.
They do all the business with me with Scootie Bike and we big in the music business.
Everybody know Billy Jay.
So I hit Billy Jay and I said, yo, I need to call the breakfast club.
I just need to tell them something.
I was real calm.
This is after the fight, correct?
This is right after.
This is like a couple hours after.
And you thought you won for the record
It popped They didn't get the game. Listen, I'm not going to be mortified. I didn't do that. Pop off.
A little scuffle.
But you understand what I'm saying?
I'm not going to be mortified.
I feel I lost.
So obviously he had to think he won.
Well, no, I wanted more.
I felt like it wasn't enough.
Or maybe I felt like Fab won and I didn't get enough.
I don't know what I was really thinking.
It was hangover like 15 to 17. I ain't get enough. I don't know what I was really thinking. Because I don't know what you're talking about right now. It was hangover like 15 to 17.
I ain't got nothing. I know what happened.
He was with 50 and he was with the chin.
There's a lot of testosterone.
He thought he didn't get big.
And 50 was a boxer too, let's be clear.
50 was a boxer too.
And I was talking a lot of shit to them all day about him.
And I think they were tired of me.
And they said, you ain't got that life, and you just fuck.
Look, look, look, nigga.
Either be about it, or shut the fuck up.
You know what I'm saying?
And they looking like this Brandy brother.
Whatever it was, I went for it.
Went out shitting him.
Because me and Fab had squashed it, so.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just a little concerned that you said you saw him college party he didn't give you the general rule black man had
no no because we just didn't it would just wasn't or he didn't see me and I
saw him I don't know I have my hoodie on yeah cuz you know University even if I
don't know we've been saying what's up though he's been said what's up since
then so you said that if it was a problem, Ruggs wouldn't have been set.
It was a problem.
Whacka would have said.
But it's all been squashed.
Niggas know I was tweaking.
That's very true.
That was it, but at the end of the day,
it was Vegas.
If you go to Vegas, you've seen the Hangover movie.
I had the urban hip-hop version of it.
Was that Blango? Black Hangover? I had the urban hip-hop version It's his life, it's autobiography type shit. Yeah, but you know, like the films, the actual films that he actually went and recreated.
That shit is ill.
You fucking Dolomite back then?
Yeah, that shit's pretty dope.
Did you see that? Anybody seen that shit? It's kind of hot.
I was like, oh shit, but it was shampoo and the boomer stuff.
Shout out to Big Daddy Kane for putting us on to Dolomite.
Word, word. That's very true. That's very true. Big Daddy Kane put us us on to do the mic
That's very true
Mike I suppose the hip hop

Sam I know you probably tired and it is talking about it
Yes, I went on my friend to I went on a remote swing. Yeah, it's a good dude
I think it's one of the dopest out.
And so...
And shot bars. I'm surprised he ain't trying to tear you up in the bars.
You know, he wouldn't even wanna...
It was like...
He didn't wanna... He just didn't wanna waste his time.
Like, you know, Fab a fly nigga.
He know he wear ankle and shit.
He's a little different.
He wear ankle?
I told him I had to tell him the other day, man.
He's still wearing the ankly.
If me and Styles were to wear ankly, they'll fry us.
We can't go outside, my nigga.
How the fuck is bad with an ankly?
They get it where it's at.
They get slim in this, too.
Yeah, nigga.
Let me tell you something.
I'm also mad.
Let me tell you something.
Joe Barton's been fabulous. If y'all post another fucking food picture, I don't mad. Let me tell you something. Your buttons are fabulous.
If y'all post another fucking food picture.
I don't like skinny niggas that never gain weight
posting food pictures.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
You skinny motherfuckers that never gain weight.
Don't post no fucking food pictures.
That's taking advantage of my fatness.
I don't like it.
I don't like it, sorry.
Let's end it. Let's end it. Let's walk.
Let's get surrounded around here. So we ended it.
So at the end of the night,

He's out.
Okay, okay.
Oh, you're in Vegas then.
Oh, so you were puffed and shilled.
That's what I was saying on your show when I was watching.
I was like, that went over everybody's head.

but it just sounds crazy.
It definitely sounds crazy.
As a prelude to a fight.
You know what I'm saying? This is flavors.
Congratulations.
So again, let's put that light to rest.
I want to thank you.
You say, we're putting it to rest.
I want to thank you.
I want to thank Fab.
I want to thank Jadakiss.
I want to thank Phuck, everybody,
for kind of speaking about what happened.
I wanna thank Styles P,

when Jadakiss was sitting with Fab.
What?
I'm not saying they take a side,
I'm not saying they take a side,
I'm just saying how it all got deep.
Get the fuck outta here.
Y'all playing this?
Nah, that's what I'm saying, that's fucking deep. I thought Styles was there yesterday.
So when I see kids talking about it, I'm like, this is fucking crazy.
Yeah.
And I'll be honest, that was like, to me, the definition of viral in hip hop,
that was, to me, the first viral hip hop moment was
wait cause you said

heard you use
anybody use
this terminology

You would say the ultimate gangsta shit.
I was crying.
I was listening to that.
You know, I felt like it was a crazy night.
Because you could see fab new money was around.
Like, you know what I mean?
He was being calm, cool, like, this ain't the thing.
Come on, my nigga, like. This nigga was on fucking loud time. The fam was trying to be cool. Then it
was like, well, like, I'm about to hurt this nigga. Then he like, what? Like, what shot? He's like,

Because they're big dudes.
I think I wanted somebody to crack that.
Y'all security rumbled.
Yeah, they did.
Y'all security scrapped.
That's what nobody is saying.
They did.
Was there other drugs involved?
Let's just do it on this.
Oh, shit.

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.

They got a stain on him.
Yeah, you know that's...
Hey, bro.

Everything he said, I'll take it.
It's okay.

It was not great, Jay.
I'm going to be honest.
I'll take them, fam.
Because that's what Drake Champs is about, is giving you your flowers.
I'm not going to be...
I'm going to be honest with you.
You're one of the realest dudes.
You always, every time I've ever been around you, I want to big up to your wife.
She's so beautiful inside and out.
Thank you.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm on her side most of the time.
When I be looking at y'all, I'm on her side.
I'm going to let you know, as a nigga, I'm bringing every man cold in the world.
But I feel like she's right.
I feel like you got to listen to her.
I feel like you got to listen to her. I'm wrong, but she's right. Nah, you're not breaking every man code. She's right.
I feel like you got to listen to her.
I'm wrong, but she's right.
I got to listen to her.
Absolutely.
But I'm still in the man's club.
You're my nigga.
I'm listening.
I agree with you.
Yeah, but I ain't going to lie.
I'm on her side.
Yeah, I'm on her side.
She's right.
I'm on her side.
And I'm wrong.
I'm on her side too, fam.
Tell her that.
On and off camera.
Fam, she is 1,000% right. And I'm 1,000% wrong.
And I don't really know what we're talking about.
But.
I'm talking about
everything.
I'm talking about overall.
I'm talking about in everything.
Let me tell you, I don't have a theory
for all men watching these two men.
Yes.
Because you married too, right?
Of course. Married, married.
And you got your ring on?
No three of us got our ring on.
So look, look, look, look.
I got you, I got you out the motherfucking couch.
You are in the bedroom at night.
You ain't know the couch got that.
Make some noise.
You ain't never heard,
you ain't never heard no crazy shit about Styles
to me on blogs, on TMZ, none of that. You ain't heard no shit about me on blogs, on TMZ, none of that.
You ain't heard no shit about me on blogs, none of that.
And look, I purposely, when I see TMZ report that, oh, he didn't wear his ring, I was personally offended.
So sometimes I don't wear my ring, it doesn't matter.
You know what the science on that is, brown man?
Excuse me?
The science on that is, brown man, we gave the ring to our ladies to please our ladies because we love them
Yep, and that's what our ancestors our forefathers did. I mean not in high ancestors
I answer actually didn't do that
They did so the ring thing comes through religion which wouldn't have been our religion if it wasn't for stones
But we don't go too far into it
So that's why certain men, they might not bring to us
the same way it brings to them,
but it's the symbolism of love.
When you keep a G to a certain factor,
then all that becomes in and out the window
and irrelevant what people think is between
your understanding between your queen.
Yeah, that's it.
You know what I mean?
That's all.
So you know what I mean?
That's all.
We, listen, we got, listen, listen.
Everybody has to watch, because that's real shit.
That's real shit.
Everybody has to watch this, because this is real shit.
All three is married men.
You're not married, huh?
No.
What's going on, Hector?
Hector?
I don't know why.
You look like Hector Lamont for me, for one second.
I don't necessarily think we need to get married.
That's the same thing I'm saying.
Like, it's all-
I got the ring on, lady.
I got my kids.
Enjoy your time.
Enjoy your time.
Enjoy your time.
Enjoy your time. Enjoy your time. Enjoy your time. Enjoy your time. Enjoy your time. Enjoy your time. I don't know why you look like you have a little hope for me for one second. I don't necessarily think we need to get married.
That's the same thing I'm saying, like it's all...
I got the ring on lady, I got my kids, I got my family.
And what you feel like...
This is a different segment for Drink Champs.
Between your bond, I feel like.
I feel like us as married men, no man should push what he believes in on another man, period.
Right.
Beyond marriage.
I gotta love Brussels sprouts. I don't go, for fact. Marriages, for fact.
Like, I love Brussels sprouts.
I don't go around telling niggas to eat Brussels sprouts.
Yeah, like, I'm an outman based.
You know what I mean?
But if you go to dinner, and we all go to dinner, and somebody goes to the steak.
You're not going to judge the next dude.
The chicken, I ain't going to judge.
I'm going to tell you why.
I don't eat it.
I'm going to tell you I don't eat it.
I'll tell you why, but I ain't going to be judgmental.
Right.
I think that's the problem with all of them.
You know, it becomes a problem when you become judgmental of things.
Like, him and this lady might have an understanding where... No, no, she want to get married. Yeah. I think that's the problem with all of, you know, it becomes a problem, it becomes judgmental of things.
Like him and this lady might have an understanding with... No, no, she won't get married.
Yeah.
I want her side too.
Huh?
I want her side too, just so you know.
No, eventually.
Look at the Raycon stopwatch.
Like, look at the...
I appreciate you.
I ain't gonna lie to that, Ray.
The only reason why I'm not focusing on that is you ain't got one of those on the table.
I can't take the watch.
I don't need to know.
I got no pride, Ray G.
I'll take that watch. I don't need to do it. I don't have no pride, Ray G. I'll take that watch.
I will take that.
And then I don't really sell them no more, but I'm going to start back up.
Let's see all the different patterns you can have.
Let's start it back up and automatically it comes with the Drink Chance podcast inside of it already.
Woo!
That's good.

I get there.

Spirit is kind of blind.
In the beginning, I was one time.
I'm one of my lessons on Southwest.
Spirit's a little bright.

They say, felon, they send my shit right back.
Preacher.

The thing is, I felt disrespected by that.
Florida's against the city of me.
As long as you have a crime in Florida that you do anything
But the fact is I had a felony in Florida, so they shut me down. Yeah, what you do?

I think the word proud is necessary.
That's so hot, man.
Keep doing your motherfucking thing.
Keep doing your motherfucking thing.
We happy, we are proud.
We look at a young black man like yourself doing things like this.
And you know what?
You're giving people motivation.
You're giving people inspiration.
You're giving people, I got my son right here.
You know, I want him to sit up and pick up this game.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And I look up to y'all.
I look up to both of y'all.
I look up to all y'all.
Me too.
We look up to you now.
At the end of the day,
it's too late.
Shit has reversed.
You take everything that you see
from everybody you look up to,
even with Puff and Snoop
and everybody I'm around,
Suge,
whoever it is.
You got Suga and Puff
number for the record.
Like if Suga was on.
But they know that I keep everything.
They've been around me so long,
they know everything is separate. I don't talk a lot about nothing
Right so the day is totally separate and then the dude, you know I'm saying on some Super Bowl shit
You're gonna do a big year pop big my guy big
big
Right like two days before you pass
Little seeds hit me to come down to see big and him
And chill with you
for like two hours.
We smoked out.
He was getting his hair cut.
I seen him the night that all that shit happened to.
He gave me a big hug.
Wow.
Like, it was deep.
You wasn't at that party.
I was there.
You was at the party?
I was at the party, fam.
Where'd you be?
I was at the party.
Where?
I was chilling.
I was there.
I was in the 90s.
I was little, but I ran through the 90s like it was a the party. Where? It's chilling. I was there. I was in the 90s.
Like, I was little.
But I ran through the 90s like it was a soccer game.
Mm.
Yeah.
When you say the 90s, you're not talking about the era.
You're talking about the years. I'm talking about the era.
The decade.
94, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 2000.
That's when you was Brandy's brother.
Exactly.
But you was running through there.
I was having a good time. Mm-hmm. I'd do anything to be Brandy's brother. Exactly. But you was running through there. I was having a good time.
I'd do anything to be Brandy's brother.
That's what's up.
Ooh.
That's what's up.
That was G-Shit.
That was very successful.
I just want you to know, all these questions that I had to ask because you know this is,
when you Google up, it's Drink Champs. I had to ask because you know this is you know, what do you think? She's a great dress for sure. I want you to know that I love it
I just stood here like a man and and kept your word like so many people don't keep it work for me with hip-hop
My water's also used to I'm so used to being lied to sometimes and when a person does keep this word
It's just like so I have a salute that you know
I had to salute I look at it like this like without your word you ain't nothing because
Any time You know, I look at it like thought I was in my seat. Yo, yo, yo, you know. He said, he looked, he got that nigga, he's kidding me. If he caught you red, though.
I said, I'm not only, and he's like, yo, look.
If he caught you red, though, I would have been, I would have cried.
If I was in there, he would have been.
Yo, and I'm bugging you, because Machine Gun Kelly is basically asking the same thing.
Machine Gun Kelly right there.
I'm like, yo, I just dissed Eminem, because I get on the show and I'm looking Kelly I didn't know it was him when I seen him
oh wow but I'm a fan of his acting he's a great actor he was in the Molly yeah
he was actually the better one at all. He should have got an Oscar for that shit.
He was the better one, yeah.
I've seen some of his shows, too.
That shit's crazy.
His shows is insane, too.
How do you like the love of hip-hop?
I love love of hip-hop.
You know why?
Because every year I was able to watch myself
and watch how much of a buffoon I was being
in certain situations
to where I was able to make adjustments
from watching the show. Like, when I watched situations to where I was able to make adjustments from watching the show.
Like, when I watched every season,
I was able to go, damn,
it's either I liked what I did or I didn't,
and I didn't most of the time.
Because you definitely, like,
started the beat for Safari.
It was just a lot of shit I was doing.
But even before that, I was worse on the front.
Like, season one, two, and three, I was...
No, watch every season.
It was real bad. And so I was able to look at myself, like, running plays two, and three, I was... No, watch every season, baby. It was real bad.
And so I was able to look at myself,
like running plays.
Like if you're a football player
and you watch the plays and you made mistakes
and the coach showing you all of the stuff you did,
these are the things we need to do to get better.
That's what loving hip-hop is to me.
So it helps me watch myself
and make adjustments on what I did wrong or right.
You know what I'm saying?
Would you ever do a show like Love & Hip Hop style?
You know he wouldn't do no shit like that.
Oh, he just set me up like this.
I just got to ask.
I know the answer in my mind, but I need to know.
Know.
I saw you on an interview.
You said, look.
You know what it is?
If I want to be ignorant, ignorance is on my own time.
I went for the interview a couple times.
Okay.
Like, two, maybe even three.
Get out of there.
Yeah.
You know what it is.
Like a casting interview for?
Or they call me, like, yo, let's meet up and think.
Like, me with my own.
And no disrespect to you.
No, please.
To you as a fan.
Can you be on there
To anybody
I have no place to judge
I say the most
Foulest
Craziest shit
In some of my rhymes
Ever
It's hard for me
To watch
Ignorant
Brown people shit
Like over the top
I can deal with ignorance
I can't deal with Let's make up the ignorance Or go over the top I could deal with ignorance I can't deal with
let's make up the ignorance or go over the top with it and we on top
you know what I mean you want to keep it G with me where you fucking involve niggas moms in ignorance
when a mother gets involved with ignorance it got too low for me I'ma
keep it a thousand for you I'ma keep it a thousand for you like there's got to
be a point within a culture where you say something is secret to us.
Oh yeah.
And I'm not dissing, I mean, I don't make TV shows.
I haven't had the opportunity to actually be, I've been on TV shit.
I haven't been the opportunity to be a director or producer and deal with Hollywood people.
So I also don't know how that part of the game really goes.
So I can't really judge, but just for me
as a personal human being, it just don't kinda work for me.
So in your opinion, is that how that works?
They promote drama?
In your situation, let's not say it in general
I think that you
get what you give
you get what you give
meaning whatever you give
is what they gonna get
so whatever you do is how they gonna
portray you
period so if you go all the way off
the deep end and you blame it on the producers
it's not the producers you the way Off the deep end And you blame it On the producers It's not the producers
You just went off
The deep end
You made a mistake
Make some adjustments
You get what I'm saying
Don't argue with
Your mistakes
And I think a lot of people
You know you get lit
And you get out of control
On the show
And then you know
For the first episode or two
You got your family there
Y'all watching
You eating popcorn
And then all of a sudden
You're like
What the fuck Who am I Like it gets you get a harsh reality check that everything you did wasn't
maybe what you thought because you performed a certain way and so now you got to look at it and
go okay i'm gonna do better that's the only way i can beat this is if i do better if they give me
another shot i'm gonna show myself in a different way.
No disrespect.
Look at the science on it, though.
Reality show if you perform better.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
You understand what I'm saying?
You got to be more outlandish.
What he said is real G.
Like, real life includes you fucking up multiple times of the day.
Absolutely.
Multiple times of the month, multiple times out of the year.
Like, you know, we all
are flawed. There's no individual
in here.
To a degree,
we are all very flawed.
And it's not even just even with
brown TV. White TV is the same.
Like, you know what I mean?
There's a time, there's some shit you can watch
that got no brown people on it that's all white.
Like Laguna Beach and shit like that.
Ignorance shit that you'll ever see.
But at the end of the day,
it kind of just weighs out what you
and how you feel personally as an individual.
So I can't knock it.
I would never knock.
I can't knock.
At the end of the day,
I can't knock on the sky. I saw never knock. I can't knock. At the end of the day, I can't knock on the sky.
I've sold crack before.
I've sold dope before.
I've stuck people up before.
I've done violent shit before.
So I have no judgment
to say,
judge anybody else
or even what you like.
That's your shit.
Like, I'd be with a homie,
like, just say if he wasn't here
right now, right?
And I'd be with a homie,
like, just real life.
And he'd be like, yo, I watch every one of those shits.
I'd be like, how?
Right.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
How?
And then they'll say the same shit you'll say.
Yeah, I love it.
That's you.
But let me ask y'all this.
This is my personal.
The same shit.
I love Jerry Springer, though.
No, but look.
Okay.
I don't watch it, right?
I don't watch these shows, personally.
I mean, it doesn't call my attention, but this is my thing specifically with love and hip-hop.
Why does it have to be love and hip-hop? Because this is the thing we gotta understand.
As years go by, this is getting exported to the rest of the world, and this is what hip-hop is to the rest of the world and this is what hip-hop is to the rest of the world yes it's not wild style it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not cool
because at the end of the day this is just a romantic reality show of people that maybe
are into hip-hop like hip-hop or artists of some sort of relationship hip-hop though you know what
i mean because that's the thing but it's not a hip-hop show in the sense of that i was thinking of some sort of relationship. But they are hip hop though, you know what I mean? Of course, of course.
But it's not a hip hop show in the sense of that.
I was thinking that before too.
But I'm like 50.
I'm like 50-50 on that.
Yeah, I'm feeling like... I'm not mad at the show.
I'm not mad at the show.
We can't take it away from the fact that Peter Gudge is a real hip hop artist.
I'm not telling you...
Look, man, that's fine.
But at the end of the day, you guys...
Think about it. If you're in Vietnam and it's not a hip-hop I know
this is your first take you live in a pop culture this is hip-hop yeah I'm
like not hip-hop you know I'll give you two things of people in and around the
culture some of them are buddy some of the people who just went participating is real. Absolutely. Absolutely. But the thing is, nothing stays the same.
So hip hop ain't hip hop today.
This is a great conversation.
Absolutely.
Hip hop today, what it means to me, you ain't no even raising.
You're right.
You're right.
A girl kid who's 20 something, when you say hip hop,
his definition ain't the same as that thing.
But why?
But why?
Maybe because times change, though.
Not just times change
Maybe we kept letting it loosen and loosen and people can stay
No, you went to your home when you went to your homeboys house, right?
Right when you went to when you went to your homeboys house, I got great is low younger than us
But I'm pretty we all understand age rule
I'm talking about is that you from the sandbox? Yes, sir
You have to knock on the dirt, off the stoop.
You didn't have to knock on the door or yell out the window.
Yeah.
Right or wrong.
You didn't call them.
Right.
No, yeah.
Like, you went, your homeboy grabbed him. Grabbed him.
Him did not.
Hey, Mr. Such and Such, can I know, come outside today or such and such?
Or after school is, yo, at your window, yo, come back down.
Those are rocks. Did you, like, you know, hit your window, yo, come back down.
Then you like, you know, hit your, hit your, all that shit.
It's different when you can call somebody.
Then it's different when Twitter comes and Instagram comes.
Everything is so much faster than from what me
and you grew up with.
Like, like you couldn't, you couldn't see a dude's mom
carry bags upstairs.
Yeah, that's real shit.
Like, my whole era came from...
Yeah, we carried them.
You carried the bags.
I don't give a fuck.
You walked upstairs.
You walked upstairs.
You could be the paladin of the street and still be cordial to the...
Cordial.
You could have been G as fuck.
You could have been G all day.
They don't even hold up...
They don't give a fuck about that shit.
There's no name.
There's no respect. There's no... There's no, there's no, there's no a lot of things that you can condescend.
But I got, my question is, is that when did that start and it might be our, our generation's fault to be honest with you.
We fucked up. Yeah.
Because when hip hop started making money, the cats in hip hop were like, you know what, then I'm, I wanna be Young Fab.
Fuck this shit. I'm not gonna, it's like fucked up, but we couldn't help a fuck. No, you're okay, but we gotta acknowledge that and then we can always say we fucked it
I say I'm not a non-acknowledged. I say too
Yeah, I'm gonna race you come anytime the young any chance
Every time
For them so like oh somehow so because what like we said, we're the same age.
We didn't necessarily grow up on Cool Herc and Grandmaster Flap.
Not at all.
But we have the utmost respect for them. Why? Because the generations that owned us, they taught us to have this special effect.
Great point, EFN. Great fucking point, EFN.
Great fucking point.
That's what I'm up for.
Great fucking point. Great fucking point.
You right.
Great fucking point. Great fucking point. You right. Great fucking point. But that kind of translates...
What did you think about when you first heard Juice WRLD just passed away?
You know Styles, you know, you one of the closest dudes.
I remember our first session in a van from TV.
You took my weed, you smoked it, you did not pass it back to me.
That was kind of you.
And to see who you are now.
I apologize.
No, no, no, you my nigga.
You my bro, you my bro.
But I always took it for I said, this nigga smoked my weed in front of me and did not
pass it back to me.
But, and you know, you're one of my good people.
What did you think about when you, like, you're one of Coastal's friends now, I remember
the penitent said this, but what did you think about when you heard the juice world shit? Because I just say a prayer for all the young kings.
I mean, I think it's a weird situation because I was just talking to my wife about it.
Pick up six.
The money we've been able to make in the transition through the game Made things lighter which made the next generation not worried about being useless our generation
Our focus was not being a user like I came up looking at crackheads
Dopeheads and the first thing was you ain't gonna be no crackhead or fucking dopehead like that was on your mind
So after I think like you, our generation got lost.
We got to be able to make multiple millions,
start shooting crazy videos,
earning crazy checks,
buying whips and diamonds at leisure
and all of this shit.
And then it kind of got to a place where
the new generation, like,
when we came up,
like, if I went somewhere
and I had
If I would even flew into
To Miami
And I would have had more than fucking 15 20 grand on me. I'd have called my man for the ratchet
All right, I wouldn't even have to had a watch all kind of
$200,000 pieces bracelets or lack of you know what time it is the
wolves is out like this for us automatic if you ain't from around here you ain't
from these parts you get to somebody else part of town you ain't official you
don't know somebody official you ain't willing to handle your shit you ain't a
problem so you had move kind of accordingly or be really thorough. But you also have to be a little easier.
Like Rough Riders.
Rough Riders, I feel like you got a fucking gang in every fucking city.
I'm just saying, but that made you know that when you get to another person's town, move accordingly.
Wow.
That's real.
Like, you understand what I'm saying?
You could be the hardest dude in your town.
In your neighborhood.
10 block, 20 block, 50 block radius.
You get to that 100 block radius, there's another guy just like you with that kind of
same strength.
You learn to start, when you get there, is a way to delegate yourself.
They say, I ain't no chump, and you ain't playing me, this is the work I'm going to
put down, but I do respect and acknowledge that this is your territory and I'm on unfamiliar grounds but
Case switch situations vice versa your unfamiliar grounds where I'm at. I'll be the wrong guy you want to cross
Like you don't say that that just wouldn't be wise for you because when you land in that ain't gonna work right for you
with a great Instagram Twitter
even way before that, the accessibility to watch how other dudes move in other towns.
You never spoke nobody's slang.
Never coming up your whole life as a youth, you spoke how it was.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it, you're right.
You wasn't from New York.
I hear, dude, you didn't rhyme like nobody else.
You didn't even rhyme like the next borough.
Yeah, originally, yeah.
Not the next borough, not even a few minutes up,
not even the same borough a few minutes away.
You didn't do that.
Like, so with money and accessibility to things
becomes a more, you brought in the horizons,
but when you brought in the horizons,
you fucked with the culture a little more.
So you make a lot of more money.
So now I just go back and fall back with it because you know why?
I've never seen this many young brown people make this much money.
And it's a fucking wonderful thing.
It's a beautiful thing.
The culture has been tampered with.
You know what I mean?
The culture has been tampered with.
I'm not going to lie to you, but you've never seen this many brown young men
be able to make money and get this many dudes off the block.
That's why we as L.O.X., not just you and yourself, but Kiss and Looch, we stand for when any young dude come in the door and he respect this craft, even if it ain't what you all the way agree with.
If you put his work in on this craft.
But there's a devil's advocate to what you're saying, not to cut you off, but the devil's advocate to what you're saying is
not as many people making all this bread,
but not as many...
Their popularity and what they're promoting
also to the community,
like we're talking about what happened with Juice WRLD,
is take these opiates,
do this shit right here, do that,
and that has never been seen before
in that magnitude.
That's society in a whole.
No, you're right, but I'm just saying that's another byproduct as well. And that has never been seen before in that magnitude. That's society in a whole. Exactly. Hip hop is crazy.
No, no, you're right.
You're right.
But I'm just saying that is another byproduct as well.
Definitely.
That we don't know yet where it's going to go.
But that's because that's on the rappers.
Like, that's on the people who's actually making the bars.
Like, there's a fine balance.
Like, when we all came up, it was more of a balance.
Like, you know what I mean?
You could like rock him. You could like Rock Hammer.
You could love Rock Hammer.
You could love Public Enemy at the same time.
You could love Tribe Called Quest at the same time.
You could love N.W.A. at the same time.
You could love Scarface at the same time. It's a balance.
That's what I'm saying.
It's more of a balance.
It's a balance.
We ain't in control of the balance.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Big money is in control of the balance.
No, but we can take control right now. Because it's something simple like this. We ain't in control of the balance, is what I'm trying to tell you. Big money is in control of the balance. Right.
No, but we can take control right now because it's something like,
just simple like this,
like Ray, Ray, and with this thing,
how are we going to get you to support?
Yeah, but they're going to run out of body.
They're going to run out of body.
The average two is the poor statics,
and like, how do we get you to be
the voice of terminology?
How do we do that?
We're shopping with each other.
We're understanding that the power is in really shopping with each other. We're understanding the powers and really shopping
with each other. You know what I mean?
If you really look at it and not be funny, everybody
in here, almost all of us, and it's
bigger than hip-hop. And we always
we think hip-hop minded.
We all in hip-hop, but we all kind of regular
citizens and men
of the country also. Everything
kind of revolves around
sex, money, violence,
everything that's kind of going on.
So you'll be sitting here
and a dude would rather go buy something
that's in Best Buy
that he see promoted from somebody
he don't fuck with
than go buy Ray J's shit.
A dude would rather go
buy someone else's shit
than his own.
And it's just because
it ain't nothing. It's just because he's been kind of brainwashed.
We brainwashed each other to say, yo, let's shop with ourselves.
You know what I'm saying?
Think about it.
Everybody in here always shopped with a black seed oil, right?
So when he put me in, he said, yo, you got to take the black seed oil.
There was no place in the world I was going to buy black seed oil but from you.
Let me tell you something, though. There was no place in the world I was going to buy black seed oil, apart from you. And I, I, I,
Let me tell you something though,
even like,
cause even as I sit here,
and I want people to know,
as,
as a,
as a juices for life participant,
as a pharmacy for life participant,
We need one in Miami by the way.
We get it.
We get it.
It's more than you spending your money with me,
it's about you taking your family, taking care of your family. It's about everybody right here taking care of their family
and going home and saying,
cause in hip hop, like you said,
we lost because we all follow the shit
that the media is throwing out for us,
where the money go.
It's about really taking care of our family.
So I don't have competition cause I'm in the health field.
So I don't want you to look at it like you got to buy black seed oil from me.
I want you to be healthy.
I love your family.
I love your wife.
I love your thing.
But I'm just saying, what if I run out of stock?
Are you sure you need black seed oil at all times?
He's just saying what?
His business is authenticity.
Yeah, even at Juices for Life, we tell our customers, all our juices is on the menu, dog.
Like, you know what I'm saying? All our juices is on the menu, dawg. Like, you know what I'm saying?
All our recipes is on the menu.
Take the menu, never come back.
Just bring them home, make it at home.
Juice at home because it starts at home with us taking care of each other and saying,
we want our community to be alright and once we really believe that,
that's when we spend money with each other.
That's when we're going to spend with each other.
You're right, but part of the reason we started Drink Champs That's when we spend money with each other. That's when we go spend with each other.
You're right, but part of the reason we started Dream Champs,
and part of the reason we partnered up with people like the Vols,
people like Titan, people like Massapeel,
is because we know the owners.
So if I can support Raycon, the speakers, I know a CEO.
Or what you said, CS?
I knew a CEO.
CSO, that's what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying, I know,
Juicy, I'm a founder, I'm a founder.
For sure.
For all, like I don't agree with that.
I'm gonna do business with people who know you.
Yeah, for real, for real.
And people who say your name,
but that's another model of the Juice Mode.
We try to treat it, we appreciate anybody.
Juicy's for life and pharmacy for life.
Sometimes you wanna go,
but everybody knows your name.
You make us important.
Even with us, you wouldn't be here today
without the people loving CNN.
Thank you.
And all, you know what I mean?
That support makes each and every next endeavor work.
He don't have none of this
without originally being Ray J.
So even as we go on,
we can do this shit, man.
Like, you're right.
I say share with the bosses.
You do what you do,
but also at the same time,
I want everybody to know
I ain't just trying to get your money, man.
I want the best for you no matter what,
whether I get your money
or I don't get your money.
Like, just know as a brother,
you brown,
you could be white, but you could be whatever, I don't even know money. Like just know as a brother, you brown, you could be white.
You could be whatever, I don't even know
what the fuck what you are actually.
You could be every race, color, creed in the world.
If you want the best for your family,
I want the best for you and that ain't
just about a dollar with me.
And I think that's when we start spending
without each other.
