Is Get Rich and Die Trying I'm joining You know what I always get this Because I watch the kids argue Over what album's A better record And shit like that

And for me The The Illmatic album Was like so stupid to me You know what I'm saying Because that time period Like we was like Still just fans of the music

At the same time They don't realize Like at different points Different artists Are more impressionable On the artist community At that point And it was groundbreaking

That point The shit that Nars was saying was like, it's the lingo and the language that you would hear in Queensbridge. At the time. Yeah, and that was like going across all Queens. So it was like, it all struck a chord in everybody. It was there.

Like Wangsta. First time I ever heard of Wangsta, that was a Queensbridge song. Totally a Queensbridge, yeah. It's a Queensbridge? Yeah, that was. Let's make some noise for Queensbridge. I ain't gonna lie was the first time I heard

Wayne's the um like um the word Wangster was a crackhead from Queensbridge yes that's wait that slang was from out there yeah that's one please raise yeah I ain't gonna lie that crackhead came up to me one time like you out here selling drugs 24 hours you a wankster I was like oh shit I didn't even take offense to it I didn't know

then you know they started using that and and that you made that but Get Rich and Die Trying is that not your favorite album?

it is it is because it was like when it happened I knew the record was like it was literally that that's why I worked

so much because it was up against so much is stacked up against the actual project that I said it's going to go

either way either it's just going to work and everything is going to go right or it's all or nothing oh yeah

and it's just because everybody was still out that's why it impacted I think what it is is I think the general public

loves they love to see people that are damaged right out. That's why I impacted. I think what it is is I think the general public loves they love to see people that are damaged. You know what I'm saying? They love to see you but if they see you damaged to the point that you may not, you may be the reason why you can't win even though you're special. Because you know just the

way you were brought up you're not going to be able to make the adjustments. So if you don't take on the new information fast enough you're just going to fuck off the make the adjustments. Right. So if you don't take on the new information fast enough, you're just going to fuck off the whole situation. And they look and go, I love this, because it looks like it's almost impossible for them to make it. You know what I mean? And then it's boom.

Because it took off so fast that how could you be prepared for that? And what did that album sell? 10 million? Excuse me? Excuse me? 13 million? Let's make some noise. Who you wanna take a shot? Who you wanna take a shot?

We made noise. Him? Oh, you wanna take a shot. Yo, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, thank you. We had an argument yesterday, so abuse him.

Abuse him, please. The first one did 13, the second one did 10. God damn it. The massacre. God damn it, make some noise for, what's that? 23 million, abuse him please. The first one did 13, the second one did 10. The Massacre. God damn, make some noise for, what's that, 23 million. God damn. I thought it was one million, I thought I was hot. But that was it. But you had a lot of momentum though going into it

with the mixtapes before. The Lansby shit, did you make money off the Lansby stuff? Yeah I did, I made like a million. I had stuff going through Lansby. I had to go to Boston. Oh, Lansby. This was before the record store. That's, um. With Bob Perry.

Yeah. Bob Perry paid you? He fucked up. Let me tell you what he did. Okay. Because Bob, like what Bob did, like, I got all, like, I got my money out of that. But Bob, what he was doing is, I was like, yo, listen, certain shit, I was like, look, you can't do this, right?

Like, he was doing a Rewind DVD, right? Right. Okay. And I said, look, I said, listen. Where'd that blunt go? God damn it. Who kid was, who was doing a rewind DVD right right okay? Okay, I said look I said listen with a black go back there man. Okay was a bootlegger right he said he don't go Fuck he's like he's giving me five thousand copies He's won five thousand copies of the tape so he could sell it to his vendors and get it off like that And he took like short paper. I came to I said you how you want. That's my shit. Right. So I put a pressure on Bob, right? Mm-hmm. I said, that's mine.

Was Alan Vermlott involved too? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. So they gave me $80,000, right? Mm-hmm. Because they was going to put that DVD out. Mm-hmm.

But then I said, don't put me on the commercial. Do not put me on the cover. Mm-hmm. Right? I said, if you do, I don't know you when they come. Right?

Because I'm telling them, he don't know I just took the check. From Dre and them. Yeah, from Dre and them. So when that happens, he just didn't hear what I said. You know what I'm saying?

He just didn't hear it. Put me on the cover. The DVD. We come out. It's me, Jadicus, and Snoop on the cover. Wow.

Jimmy's like, this is all my shit. Who's just stealing all of my shit? Wow. You know what I'm saying? The footage is from Who Kid taping the shows and shit like that. So he gave it to Bob, man.

When Bob was done, he had his house, man. They sued Bob. They fucked him all the way over. In a skull? Yeah. He out of business now. He sent them out of business. God damn it.

Let's make some noise for 50 Cent and Niggas out of business. God damn it. But I warned him. I warned him ahead of time. I said, listen, don't do that. Got that? But I warned him. I warned him. I had to try. I said, listen, don't do that. They're going to come for you

because they just gave me. And he was like, and still did it. Right. It couldn't help it. But they were fucking with you before the DVD with the mixtapes.

Yeah, no, I did. Because they were distributing them. I made a lot of money for them. Before that, we were selling too many copies of it. I'm like, look, don't put enough CDs out for it to reach the

Hot 100. Right, because that's another problem. We would still be selling this shit right now if you would have listened. You know what I'm saying? Keep it under the radar. He won't put, so now you sold 100,000 copies last week. You stupid motherfucker. You think everybody didn't see those 100,000 pieces move?

Next thing you know, the people come. I'm like, man, I don't see those 100,000 pieces move? Next thing you know the people come. I'm like, man, I don't fucking know you, man.

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. You can now binge all 10 episodes of Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Now, you was the first nigga that I seen that had a successful sneaker and your shit wasn't ugly. Rapper. Rapper. Like, your shit was fly. Were you involved in every process of the sneaker and your shit wasn't ugly. Rapper. Rapper. Like, your shit was fly. Were you involved in every process of the sneaker making?

I did. Because I was doing the Stan Smith. I was doing my version of the Stan Smith Adidas with the tricolor flag on the side of it. So, you know, I knew that the hip-hop community in general and consumers that were conscious of it were comfortable with spending $80 on Air Force Ones. Because everybody would do it. So I kept it at that price point. And Jay made his joints a buck 25.

I thought that was a little crazy at the time. Because I was like, Jordan is the only one to sell shoes that expensive. You know what I'm saying? I didn't compare myself to that. I kept it down at the $80 price point. The deal structure was completely different, too. Jay, they made their deal like a joint venture. So they were completely equal with RBK.

Okay. Where they had a 50% profit split, like the Lakers. Right. After they recouped the cost of the shoes, they split the money. You know what I'm saying? Now, me, I'm like, fuck that. I'm a high-risk investment. Just give me money.

Because they was doing the deal with us because they lost the opportunity to sign LeBron at the point. They was in the bidding war for LeBron. So when Nike got him, we got the money from RBK. So it was an advance, mainly. No, they kept paying. Paul Finley kept giving us money, man. I sold over 7 million pairs of those shoes. Can you bring back G-Unit clothing?

I'd do something different. Yeah, you got to. Y'all took care of me. Y'all sent me like two years worth of clothes. Let's make some noise for that and give somebody a shot. I ain't going far. Violator, violator. Yeah, you made sure all the artists was great, man.

Who you want to take a shot? We just made noise. Yeah, you. Nah, I ain't doing that. I love it. You got to play a shot we just made noise um yeah you come on hey you can take another one but I for't drinking. Yeah, that's right. I'd a high. You know my style. I'd a high. Hey, you're not taking another one, but I'd a high for the one you took. I'd a high.

I gotta be right for the Mayday show. Hold on. I'm dead. Woo! Haz, you might as well while you're at it. Yeah, that's right. I already got one. Oh my God.

They could need to put that on ice. Woo! Get some ice in them shots. That shot is disgustingly good. Yeah, that's right. That's right. But it need ice. I'm an ice drinker. So, you had the sneaker good. Yes. That's right. But it needs ice. I'm an ice drinker.

So, you had the sneaker thing. Yeah. You had run-ins. The sneaker thing has something to do with Steve Stout, right? Yeah. Well, you know what? Stout said, look, that's when we had a little issue. Yeah.

You know what he did? I got a story behind that. So go ahead. Oh, we ready? Stout was actually doing what Chris was doing for me with Jay. Okay. Yeah. Right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, that we ready? Stout was actually doing what Chris was doing for me with Jay. Okay, yeah, right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what his brand got, and he was doing that.

And when he left the president of Interscope to go build his brand company, he started doing that. Now, Jay's deal is Jay's deal, but he didn't make the 50-cent deal. Fuck out of here. It's like I'm selling 13 million records At the time I don't need nobody To make no deal for me

You know I'd be the logical guy To go to Following You know You fucking with Jay At that point Then

We made the actual deal On different points And shit like that Like Jay's commercial If you remember The first commercial Was me and him In the commercial

Oh yeah So we rapped together And it was for the Sean Carter coming out. And that's because he's a smart businessman, and he knows what type of reach I had at that point, that it was better for him to do it with me than to do it by himself. Right. And then we come back around after that, and I did everything for June by myself.

Matter of fact, that nigga Jay still owe me a favor for that. Let's get to Jay-Z owing me a favor for that. Let's get to Jay-Z owe you a favor right now. Let's go. He owe me a favor for that commercial. Because you held him down. The next thing we did was the

Forbes remix. I'm watching you. You drinking Aguante over there? Our audio's about to be off. This is our engineer. Did you see the drink he just bought? He's Colombian. I'm looking at this nigga like, yo, are you okay?

That's aguayante. You know what aguayante is? 50 know what aguayante is? That's that Colombian shit. That's real drunk. Real drunk. So how many of my favorites does Jay-z owe you um

akanele oh man i don't know i'm just listening to y'all show me a favor i just remember that he never did nothing in return for that shit do we do and let's listen so let's get to it let's break it down again so what you held him down in the commercial yeah he owe me a favor for doing that commercial okay i got jay-z phone number chug chug hit him about why don't we just combine the favors and he comes on Drink Champs We can do that They gonna start laughing when you say it Listen I'm telling

Listen Jay where the camera at Listen Jay you owe my nigga 50 a favor And we gonna do it If you owe him a favor you owe us a favor Now you owe me a favor People think I'm the plug You know I put Jay and Fat Joe on the phone Oh that one?

I did that. That was good. Let me tell you why that was good. Was you proud of me? Yeah, that was a good one. Come on, make some noise for me. I had to step it up. Yeah, because with Joe, a lot of niggas looked at him like he was a bad vibe.

The perception of Joe was he was 50 cent prior to me being here You see what I'm saying So me So you're saying bully But when you're saying that I didn't start any of these altercations If you think about it it's the momentum But the perception is a bully though

Drake talking about Looking for revenge And picking a reason to go at the kid because he keep winning. There's nobody that's going to sit in that seat and not have conflict. Not have artists uncomfortable with you being in that seat. Because it is what it is.

Just so, it's just when that was happening with me, they wouldn't see the slap. They'd just hit a shot. They'd see the person poking at me. They'd just see the slap. They'd just hear the shot. They'd see the person poking at me. They'd just see my stars. I'm going to keep it 100 with you.

Any nigga that says anything about 50 Cent, you respond to him, though. I'm trying to let you get away with it. It might even be something good that he didn't wait for. I'm going to keep it 100. I'm going to keep it 100. I'll be watching you. Listen, listen.

I'm going to be real. Like, Prodigy came home. He wrote this book, right? He wrote this book. I ain't like it. He told my watching you. Listen, listen. I'm going to be real. Like, Prodigy came home. He wrote this book, right? He wrote this book. I ain't like it. He told my, you know, my niggas that I shot niggas. A lot of shit. You know what I'm saying?

So I didn't like it, right? Nobody got shot, by the way. But what? Who? No, no. I shot niggas. He's going there. It's just a fact.

Like, it's way over seven years. I shot a lot of niggas. I shot a lot of niggas. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The limitations is over. years. I shot a lot of niggas. I shot a lot of niggas. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The limitations is over. So he came out with this book, right? But my beef with him was I did everything that I thought you would do.

Right. Because you know why? You single-handedly laid out the platform of how to kill an MC. And I just thought how you would think. I was like, think how 50 think. I did Nori shot somebody the same day. I'm still an MC. And I just thought how you would think. I was like, think how 50 think. Like I did Norrie shot somebody the same day. Like he did an interview on Power 105,

he was like, yo Norrie shot somebody. I was like, Senator Scram Jones, Scram Jones. Boom, right away, boom, had to be the video and everything the same night. As I said, this is what 50 would do. You know what's ill is Pete, when you sitting in the joint, the difference is like

when he write a book, he actually writes the book. Right. Like himself. Like you can sit there and write page by page in each one of the joints. And I was like,

a lot of times when I wrote the book, I would bring a writer. Yeah, you're too rich for that shit. Tell him. Tell him this is the way I want it. Tell him this is the way I want it. You're too rich to be doing that.

And I proofread what I just told him to write. He said, no, you got to change this. This is wrong. It's out of context. Different points. But when he sat down, he wrote that book, and he wrote a few screenplays and stuff like that while he was in jail. As soon as he get out.

He thought he was going to die in jail. He did what he did. There was a lot going on. Because Pete got a different type of thing. Like, creatively, the only time I was conflicted with the idea that an artist had, or what they was writing, was one time we did a song. It was called Pearly Gates. Okay. That came out?

Yeah. And P said some shit on the record, and I was like... Yeah, I heard about this guy. What did he say? I stopped. Like, he was like... It was almost like he was anti-Christ. You know what I'm saying?

It was like anti-Jesus on the joint. I mean, we writing it. Mike? Usually every time. Mike, my weed. Don't give Mike my weed. We don't have to be together. I'm sorry.

You know how we write a record? We don't have to be in the same room. If you got the hook, everybody know how to get on the record. You know what I'm saying? So when he did that shit and it came back, I was like, whoa. But what did he say, though? It was some anti-Christ shit almost. It was like real.

And I was like, whoa. Mace was around at the time because I had Mace on the road. This is where me and Puffy shit stem from, too. I need to get to it. I need to get to it. We need to get to it. We got no Ciroc here. We got no Ciroc here. But we usually do.

What do you call it? We not go front. We usually have Ciroc. Not today. Not today, EFM. I'm Puffy. I'm Puffy. But look.

I was not going to front. No, no, no. I know. What we did was Mace come, and Mace was like, maybe he feel like that about God from him not curing him. Cause he got this sickle cell anemia. Like a piece of this is so extreme that one day

he'll be like with us regular, like he'd be, they drinking everything, doing smoking, doing everything. And then he would be in the hospital. Yeah, he fell out in my studio. And like blind in one eye, his blood is in his eye socket and shit like that. So he got a different type of, and that process is a painful process. And it's been repeated.

It's been something that's all gone for him. So his shit is just different. You know what I'm saying? And it was like, why are you saying that? I was like, I still was uncomfortable. I wasn't sure I would put the Pearly Gates record. Originally, it was for the soundtrack. What soundtrack? While we was doing the Get Rich or Die Trying

soundtrack. You know what I'm saying? And I was like, wait, so I might not use this for this. If y'all want this, y'all can put this on your record. Because I didn't want to put it on the iPhone. Now, I heard M.O.P. say,

you was the only CEO that would call Like 4 o'clock in the morning And sit them down That was so dope to me Again let me just Just the fact that he signed those guys But for the listeners to know 50 is a gutter nigga

I know him from the beginning You know what's good Cause I want to big you up so crazy. Like, from the beginning, like, you was a gutter nigga. You made all this

money. Then you went inside MOP, and then I heard them say one of the dopest stories. There's like, 50 just called them

at 4 o'clock in the morning, told them to come to your room. You sat down, you asked them what they want to do. Like, CEOs don't

do that. Like, you know what I'm saying? What you get from artists is is I overpaid them. I ain't gonna lie I was hating when you signed Mobb Deep. I was like you should've signed CNN we were the shot niggas for you. Make some noise, make some noise. Who you wanna give the shot to?

Who you wanna give the shot to? You wanna give it to him again? But did you overpay him on purpose? Nah I ain't fucking doing nothing. Did you overpay him on purpose like you knew that the situation might not evolve how you wanted it to? I ain't going to lie. Niggas is not Ciroc boys no more. They effing.

I want to make the switch and I've never even committed to fuck. No, listen. So, listen. I'm going to change my name to DJ Effing. Effing. That's how it go. That's how it go. Let's get another shot going.

Let's get another shot going. Come on, come on. Come on, Mr. Lee. Pour another shot.. Come on, come on. Come on, Mr. Lee. Pour another shot. But, yo, throw some ice cubes in that shot. What we said, like, what was happening at that time is with M.O.P. and them, it's like, that was me still being a fan. You know, like, M.O.P.

But that's what's dope about it. M.O.P. M.O.P. And who else you signed? You signed somebody else. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P.

M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P.

M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. M.O.P. a Mobb Deep fan. And who else you signed? You signed somebody else. Mobb Deep. Mace was out with us. Yeah, it was Mace.

That's what I was looking for. What happened was, look, when I got back off the road, I was able to do the MOP deal. With the Mobb Deep deal, I knew niggas would go, how you going to sign 50? You've been in longer than that. In the game longer than that. So I made it clear. That's irrelevant, though. I made it clear.

Because I know what he was going to do right away. As soon as you get to New York City. And they was going through turmoil at that time because Jay just put him on the stomach of your ass. And it was like,

because there was, look, there was damage by that one play, that one insult, that one thing that he did in the summer jam. And I'm like.

And you still signed. Still, because I was, look, there was a point where P was the best artist, the best rapper. Let's make some noise for P being

the best artist. He's right. He's make some noise for P being the best artist. He's right. He's correct. He is correct. Pride is here. I told you. You got nothing but love up here. Come up here and bug out with me.

Nah, look, for real. There was a point when he was doing that HNIC. The first. Those records were crazy. You're not going to take a hit of that. Those records were crazy. You already give me high. Hold on.

That's not how we take shots. Hold on. Let me show you how we take shots. Hold on. Ah to ah. we take shots. Hold on. Let me show you how we take shots, Fiji. Hold on. Ah-da-ah. Like the mafia. Yeah, like the mafia.

The beginning was a lie? Nah. I'm not going to lie. Fiji took two shots. Fiji took two shots in the drink chat. This is why it's drink chat. beginning was a lie? Nah, I'm not gonna lie. 50 took two shots. 50 took two shots on a drink chat. This is why this drink chat. This is a lie. We're trying to bring the truth out.

Bring the truth out. Drunk facts is what we call it. Yeah. Drunk facts. Let's make some noise for him taking two shots. God damn it. Damn it. Listen, 50, I'm gonna keep it honest.

This is what we do on a drink chat. We drink and Evan Vodka's good. It is gonna keep it on it. This is what we do on the drink champ. We drink them effing vodka is good It is a smooth Story we was talking about but I want to switch it to effing vodka. No, we got to go back to that story The story told me I got to cut you off No, I didn't Oh, okay, my bad He put that H&R City shit out It was like He was dead I was on that album There's a point, look There's a point creatively

Where artists are just In a zone Like, they can't Nobody touch what he's doing Creatively at that point He's just there Like, he's In their pocket

This nigga's mad smart Go ahead He was like That was where he was like At his peak point Like, he was there And it was like And I get a chance To watch that from a fan's perspective.

So it was always still... It didn't matter that... So you mean... I didn't make it to that summer jam. So I didn't see the tutu. The beef. Okay. I don't care that he went to school.

His mother had a dance school when he was younger. You know what I'm saying? If that's the case, we got to discredit everything that we say is cool about Tupac. Right. Right, because he went to an acting school. Because, yeah, it's an art student. He was doing Shakespeare. When I'm telling you when he's actually writing a book, and he's actually writing a screenplay,

it's because he actually has been groomed as an art student. Right. You see what I'm saying? So you can read that in the book. Do y'all realize how smart 50 is? This nigga's mad smart. You see what I'm saying? So you can read that in the book. Do y'all realize how smart 50 is? This nigga's mad smart. That's what it is.

So it's like it's a different level of talent there because of what he's conditioned for. Right. And then you look at it

and you go you wouldn't even believe that like P.A. ain't really from Queensbridge like that. No, he's not. He's from Lefrak in Long Island.

Yeah, Havoc is from Havoc said that. On here. Where's D not. He's from Left Rack in Long Island. Yeah, Havoc is from Queensbridge. Havoc said that, on here. Where's he from? He's from Left Rack in Long Island. Right, it's like Queens on the south side is closer to where I'm from. But that still, I looked at it and was like, nah, he say some shit.

It's like, he got a slow draw, his style is all his. It wasn't like, now you can hear a record and say, But you heard that train? This is gonna go, because it sounded like the last four records that worked did you hear that train that just went through yeah that's elliot wilson train he comes in try to sabotage a podcast i don't fuck with that guy why don't you fuck i know i don't like that let's get to it 50 nah what happened with elliot wilson no i think listen let's just be clear. We got the crazy segues. Listen, listen.

No, I was ready. I was ready. I was ready as soon as the train... That wasn't even a train. It wasn't even a train. It was a horn. In my mind, it was a train. It was a fucking train, all right?

It was a train. It was a train. So, I hit B-Dot, and I hit Elliot Wilson on the double text, it is. And I sent them The picture of Your Instagram And then I said Yashoda came And then they said

B-Dot said Um Ellie Um 50 hates Elliot Y'all don't fuck with him Why? You know why?

Because We didn't set this up Like that's Twitter God this is reality I really sent it And what And they said 50 hates Elliot

That's B-Dot's word Nah I'll tell you why Because look There was a situation One time, right, where. Let's get to it. He had somebody, Chaz, slimming him. Okay, okay. They wanted to do an interview with him, right?

Uh-huh. And I made it clear to him. I said, listen, I don't fuck with these niggas, right? This is when he's at XXL? Chaz, these niggas gangsta niggas from my neighborhood, right? Old school train robbing ass niggas from way back in the career

criminal motherfuckers. Right. So they approach the nigga and they put pressure on him. Right. They go by his mother house. You see what I'm saying? So now...

In what side? Yep. Go ahead. They go by his mom's house. So now the nigga's so scared of them that he's writing the fucking interview

anyway the way they want to when you're already fact checking and I'm telling you I don't fuck with these niggas. They not, I don't give a fuck about them. Period. When I say slim switch sides on me, that's what I'm talking about. I don't fuck with the old nigga. You know

I don't like him. You know what I'm saying? I don't give a fuck about that, boy. So when you tell me you write for the magazine and you do some shit anyway, I swear to God I feel like I'm supposed to do something. Did you warn him? Did you tell him? In advance, I told him. Don't put my name in that motherfucking interview at all. Whatever you're talking about,

delete me from it. And he's like, scared of how they're going to respond to it being missing from the interview. Because they stopped by his motherhouse. So what the fuck makes you so scared of this nigga that you thinking that I won't do something to you? I don't know.

Make some noise for the fucking phone. That's what fuck with me. Whatever nigga with the cheap phone. That sound like a cheap phone. No, the phone here. You know I got beat for cheap phone. It was on cue with what he was saying. You know I got beat for cheap phone.

God, it just made me, that's why I'm going gonna fuck with the Elliot boy You know what I'm saying Later he had said something on Instagram one time When I was saying something and I just went off on him What did he say on Instagram He just commented on something that I was talking about And I was like what the fuck is you talking about

I don't fuck with you no way I just couldn't you know from that other shit It's still from like Am I right You can't be one way one day and then be another way the next. You got to be the same way. That's it.

That's the only thing in respect. Even kill, yeah. That's it. Yo, I ain't going for it. I love 50. Yo, he's going in. Keep going. Nah, this is the way it is.

Is this the petty episode? No, I love it. Listen, yo, 50, I didn't ask you, who is you, petty? Because you know why? You are petty. was you petty. But I, because you know why? You, you are petty. You king petty. This is not petty.

Oh! That's exactly what he said. Hold on, you a hit side, man? Nah, that's what I said. I said, wait, wait, wait. When he said that. Take a shot, take a shot. I just addressed it.

Because if you look, you know what's a sucker to me? A sucker is a nigga who pick who he fight with. Right, right, right. Like if you see a nigga and you go, oh, I'm not going because this nigga's... I won't fuck with him

but I'll fuck with this motherfucker. Yeah, I think I can take him. Right, right, right. You want to fight the nigga you think you can beat versus I go, listen, if you want a problem, all right, no problem.

No, you go out because I don't know where around you. I'm saying, look, after we have a problem in the neighborhood, if I, this is where I grew up.

If I need to step to you and you fool. It's a wrap. That's what you are forever. It's a wrap. You're forever that. Like, they don't look at you like. Right.

I remember when this thing was like, you know what I'm saying? And then it changes who you are to everybody around it. So I'm like, nah, I'm the same way every time.

Okay, but 50, this is the lifelong question that we ask. I'm petty. I gotta stop, though. Are you petty, 50? I've been, look, you see the big male shit, I didn't say nothing. Nah, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. I didn't say nothing. You didn't make a racket, but you made memes.

Let's make some noise for your man. The man is amazing. What's it some noise for your memes. The memes. What's it called? I'm dyslexic. It don't matter. It don't matter. I didn't make one record, not one punchline. Because you didn't deserve the punchline.

Right. Because you're getting bodied by R&B scene. The boys said the line already. You got to live with that. I just want to know. You want to come back from that, right? This is the question. 50, this is the question. Because you know why know. You want to come back from that, right? This is the question. Pitty.

This is the question because you know why? I've identified with my pettiness, right? Me, personally. I don't deny my shit. Yeah, I know. But I feel like you're not identifying with your pettiness. Yeah, a little bit. I'm not in the know.

You don't know there's an intervention. But you know, listen. The richest niggas is petty. I'm just telling you. Jay-Z called me about a podcast. What the fuck? That means he's petty. No.

Let's just keep it real. He's paying attention. I need that on title, right? That's what the call was about. No, I'm trying to get some shit on title. That's what it was about, man. But, but. Trust me, I know what it was about. Wait, why do you think 50's here?

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall

Williams and best-selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. 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. This is Absolute Season One, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.

J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. You can now binge all 10 episodes of Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I told y'all n Yo, I can't hear shit. We petty.

I want to get down. People like when you do that. Like, just don't give a fuck? Just tell the truth. Yeah, just tell the truth. Because they ain't looking and going, what is really going on all the time? So, is that what's going on with Donald Trump right now

what you fucking with Donald Trump I read that somewhere because Donald Trump almost sometimes seems like the 50 cent of the politicians check this out

check this shit out don't you ever do that to me look look you know why I'm saying that look I took pictures with Donald Trump I'm places where they at I didn't even know that

I didn't even know that so they'll look and see those photographs and shit like that and go yo like oh okay so 50's with Donald Trump. I'm places where they at. I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that. So they'll come up and see those photographs and shit like that and go, yo, like, oh, okay,

so 50s, are you, are you, 50, can I, can I actually? You're endorsing Donald Trump because they saw a picture

with you in it. I'm like, man, don't ask me no shit like that. You hear him say Mexican people should be just behind the wall? Yeah,

that was right. That was right. That was some fucked up shit, man. I'm like, look, it's okay to be politically incorrect, and that's what he's doing,

and I think the people don't trust politicians, so them being there and saying, look, I pay for this, I won't owe people for this, you know what I mean? I think hip-hop should take over politics. What do you think?

I think Kanye should run. You with that? Oh, my fucking God, Kanye! Kanye! Listen, how did that? Oh, I'm fucking good, Kanye! Kanye! Listen, how dope... I didn't think I would hear that. I didn't think I would hear that either. But how dope would it be, right?

Like, listen. I don't care if he lose. No, no, no. I just want him to run. Nah, nah, nah. Since you said it, right? Kanye for president. He ain't got no felonies.

50 cent as the vice president as the vice president I'd be a consultant you don't want to be vice president? before I make noise I got felonies that's what make it gangsta niggas that got felonies

Donald Trump you're right but Donald Trump turned hip hop to a smack DVD I mean he turned politics. I think that's one of the smartest things you ever said. That is the smartest thing I ever... Listen. Because that's just so good.

In my opinion, Donald Trump turned politics into a smack DVD. I think people don't like... People don't trust politicians, so they look at them and say, it's something different. And even when he makes mistakes, they're saying, he's just being honest. Right. But I don't think it's... But that's like hip-hop. That's hip-hop.

Like, listen. I don't think shit that he's saying is like hip-hop. That's hip-hop. Like, listen, Tupac told you Brenda's got a baby and then he said, the next record, Brenda ain't shit. And then he said, he said,

praise our woman and then the next shit, he said, bitches ain't shit. Like, that doesn't make him contradictory. That makes him...

No, it does make him contradictory. No, it makes reality. Some days, you know, shit is good. Some days, shit is fucked up. Let's just keep it real. Let's just keep it real. That's how life is. I'm sorry.

Look, is she the cameraman? His name is Rick. Rich Blanco. Listen, we got the Dream Champs. This is a whole crew. And everybody pretty much want to shout their name out Because you're here And you know It's one million

I told you Akineli never came I've been inviting this nigga For fucking 15 podcasts I know he was invited You know me Yo listen When I was in jail

I was whack I was in jail I was in jail I started writing rhymes The only nigga number I had Was Akineli I was trash. You know how you trash

and you know you trash? But you trying. Yeah, yeah. I used to call Ak. He was the only nigga that accepted my phone calls, Akimeli. Of course.

I really appreciate that, man. I love you from the bottom of my heart, my brother. Just in case, I know I'm bugging out playing with you, but you did rub your nipples. That was great.

That shit fucked up my childhood. It fucked up my childhood. Like, you my hero. playing with you but you did rub your nipples that was like certain things you can make certain things is wrong but you can make it cool because you just, you influence you. I tried. I said, yeah. I don't think that moment could ever be cooler. You my brother. You my. And you got this club on South Beach.

Are you the first black person to ever own property on South Beach? Yeah, on Ocean Drive. It was just like 35 years ago. Black people wasn't even allowed on Ocean Drive. They had to get written by the chief to even go on Ocean Drive, and they had to get off by 8 p.m. every night 35 years ago. So now when we're out there having a club out there, there's a whole lot of politics that we get into.

Yeah, because I seen you on the news the other day. What happened with the news? The whole community teamed up and said, hey, we don't want no type of club coming here at all. But meanwhile, Mangos is right down the block. Of course. And Mangos do the same exact thing. Pasties, nipples, thongs.

I just went there and said, damn, Mangos is doing $30 million a year, and they just cleaned it up. So it was kind of like what MC Hammer, like back in the days, MC Hammer was clean. Okay, let me just, because our listeners are slow. 50-year-old is talking real millionaire language. Just in case. Because, you know, most of our listeners...

But continue, Aka. That was millionaire shit. I'm sorry. I got lost, too. I'm sorry. They felt like we was about to open up a brothel. Brothel is a whorehouse, correct? Yeah.

Okay, continue. So, I was like, no, we're just opening up an adult. Not even an adult. We're just opening up... Same thing as mango no, we're just opening up an adult. Not even an adult. We're just opening up. Same thing as mangoes. We're just opening up some place like mangoes that got soul food. It's going to be like the black hooters. Which makes sense right now.

Dancing, no nudity, ocean drive. You know what? That whole thing that I was saying earlier that I heard, that happens from adult entertainment anyway. What's that? What's your concept of adult entertainment? Mine is a man pays to get in, pays to get drunk, and pays a woman to provide the fantasy. Right.

And then go home. Right? Right. Ain't that what adult entertainment is? My Boston niggas say, my Boston niggas say, you know, you heard of Backpage? My Boston niggas, they don't even want to meet. They don't even want to meet Amigo or girls.

They just want to pay Blackpink. They're fucking fucked up. They mad foul niggas. So they just want to pay. Is this what you're breaking down? I'm not into that shit. You're not into paying? I've been saying no.

They say, let me quote them correct. Come on, Mike. Come over here. You look a little nervous. Come over here, What is it? You look a little nervous. Come over here, Mike. They say they pay the bitch to leave. I think, you know. They said that they don't pay.

That's what they say, right? They said they pay the bitch. Nah, these are married men. See, you know what? I'm a married man. Check this out. Check this out. New York City stats.

Like 65% of the people that are arrested for soliciting prostitution are middle-aged white married men. Because they're prone to commitment. Why do you like stats? I know those stats. You know it. I would sit there and know it. So you talk about 65% of that, that's based on who was arrested last year for soliciting prostitution. Now, the white middle-aged man that's prone to commitment

This nigga smart. is actually paying that woman to not have a text message, to not have an email, to not have a phone number in his phone that's inappropriate for his wife because his life is that important to him. You're paying her to be quiet. He's paying her to get the fuck

out of here. Like, right after the situation is over, just go and let my life be the way my life is Right You know what I'm saying So that's the facts The stats are saying that You know what I'm saying So I don't know

The imperfection with the men That has been consistent Is the lust factor Before they paved the ground When they had dirt roads They showed you brothels And cowboys and Indians Right

So it would show you to say something's wrong with is to say something's wrong with the traditional man right it's just there one of the things we got to accept while we're accepting all of these other alternative lifestyles let's just accept that you know i mean We're adjusting to everything else. That's true. Now, recently, Jim Jones was on The Breakfast Club, right? And they asked Jim, like, you know, would he squash beef with anybody? And French Montana's name came up, right? He got beef with French? And he said, in order for him and French to move on, they should shoot the fair one.

They want to fight. Let me tell you why. Who are you putting your money on? I'm putting money on Jim. On Jim? I'm putting money on Jim. Let's make some noise for 50 putting money on Jim. And it's because he got something driving him.

He's passionate behind that. You see what I'm saying? Him wanting to fight is because, really, Frenchie's the DVD guy. He's the cocaine DVD guy, and he comes around and he- I know you're not going to hit it, but I always just pass, I'll guess that. Yeah, I just always pass it. That nigga don't smoke either.

And I don't smoke. Heroin only. Give me that shit back. I'm sorry, I got to try to get you out. It's what the fans expect, I'm sorry. It's not me It's not me This is cool

Give me a tape Pass it to me That was all That was all Hey look So You saying Jim Hands down

What's the name French was the platform For He was a big platform For For the wave For Max B Right

To go at Jimmy. Right. The whole time that that was going on. Right. So he created that, that place for, a voice for,

for Max B. And then, so Max allowed him to, see what it is, is, Max is like a writer. Like, he would write for anybody.

Like, write anything. So when he turns into, when he's turning into an artist, and the DVD guy guys now let him say everything that he wants to say about Jim Jones it's turning into

it's because he was accepting French as an artist he didn't look at him like he wasn't like you said you got something

say it like do it you know what I mean and then he started to grow into an artist it was different things like when he was really interested

what made me look at First early on A little sideways was When I had my issues with With Joe and him back then With Khaled You gonna go there? I didn't think you was gonna go there

They actually taped it When you see Khaled's mother Sleeping on the thing Yeah And it says You know A psychic told me I remember that

Yeah French in them actually taped it. Oh, wow. You see what I'm saying? And they sent it to me. This is the crew they're running around in now. So I look at them like they suckers. Damn, son, why you didn't do that?

I look at them like they suckers. But if they got into it, I think, you know, Jimmy had more passion fueling him in that actual fight is fresh he from from that position to wage that now he made because people accept him as an artist that's what he wanted to do he's dreaming to do it so he's there will you ever forget French I got nothing to get look it's the facts of facts right I got okay about that really that's what it is like I look at the whole circle that the whole camp like they suckers, really.

So sitting over there, it's like you belong with those suckers. You know what I'm saying? It don't matter to me. I don't care. I don't wake up or go to sleep with that on my mind. I only brought that up because of what you just said. You know what I mean? We're waiting.

I'm waiting for me. I'm going to be honest. Like, it went weird. It got weird for me. Hold on. So, listen. Why did it get weird for you? I'm going to be honest. The only two beefs in hip-hop I was ever personally really concerned about was when Styles P and Beans. Oh, Beans started again. Yeah. When Beans started beefing, and it was because you, in fact, jumped. Was it already? beefing and it was because you and Fat Joe was already... Because

to me, I swear to God, I knew you early. Early, early in the game. And I know Joe. And to me, y'all the same. Like, if you was... You're the same... Niggas don't smoke, niggas don't drink, niggas be on... Niggas, y'all be in the club. Y'all both be in the club

like just watching everything. Yo, which exit shit is it? Like, yo, yo, yo. I mean, like, I said to niggas, I said, that's the reason why y'all bump. To me, pause. Y'all the same exact person to me. We did. Well, yeah, so look.

I thought, look, Joe shit was him just being loyal to Default. You know what I'm saying? Because I didn't really have issues with him. And what happened was it filtered over what really have issues with him and what what happened was that it filtered over What was going on with me and Jah and ended up because they was doing I'm from New York There was bringing it back, but like though. 50's laws of power. No, no, no. Let me break it down. Yo, 50, you smarter than the average human being.

Do you know that? You smarter than everybody here right now. At least me. For sure. You smarter than me. You be saying shit, I be looking at you like, this nigga went to algebra. Like, I always skip that class.

Like, you stayed. Like, you stayed in algebra class. Let's keep it real. Let's go to the stats. Fendi, you're smarter than the average in the middle. Just so you know. Look, if I let that slide, it would have went out of control at any other point afterwards. Well, let's just be clear.

What part offended you? No, no, no. It wasn't what they were saying. It was what they was doing. It was why they were standing by him. Yeah, it was cool. Thank you. I was in the video. You dissed me thank you so much

I was in that video you know that the song you know I was in the video? I saw you, I saw you. You saw me? Oh shit. I know, because you mad at me. You mad at me, I know for a fact. You mad at me. You mad at me. Look, look, he know. I'm sorry, I'll go ahead. It's like you had it, you sat around him. I was like, because he just, every nigga in the video, I was like,

damn, this nigga want this, me? This my nigga. Look, the whole time I was like this, look. The video was cool. Right. I couldn't let the public feel like that was cool. Yeah, yeah. So I went at it right away because it would have started something that made me have to start working all over again. Oh.

You see what I'm saying? Because if you had something that was working at that point, it was cool. And I had to readdress the whole scenario again with that. So I was like, you don't want to. Look, when it tells you to destroy, destroy completely, it means if you hit me and you hurt me and you don't finish me, you've just given me more passion than you have for the actual issue. So don't even have the problem if you're not going to drive until you just finish him. Right.

Because he'll come back on a later date and be prepared for you more than you were prepared for. That's just what happens when I'm hit. Right. See, when a nigga halfway kill you, key you it hurts but 50 because you halfway dead Then you start to feel like my fucking all kind of your body hurting all over the place to shit That's 50 you mad smart, but let's just be let's just be That was penny 50 that was not that was me addressing this shit before it got out of hand. Right? Now, look. If the record worked and I left it without saying anything, right?

No, I think you got it. It was supposed to work. You know how you watch something? You can tell when it's good, can't you? Me, myself, I'm looking at it. I see it. I'm like describing it. So you knew it was good.

Yeah, it was good. It was supposed to work. It's a strategy. Him sticking with his own story is petty, by the way. But that is gangsta. If I didn't say anything about that record, it would have worked.

Okay, I'm going to prove you petty right now. I'm going to prove you petty. If I prove this point, you going to agree with me?

Yeah. Okay. Vivica Fox. You're going to let that slide. You're going to let that slide, baby.

You're going to let that slide. Did you say she, wait, most people want to eat Vivica Fox's slide. You could have let that slide, baby. Listen, listen. You could have let that slide. Did you say she, wait, wait. Most people want to eat Vivica Fox's ass. You told her to kiss your ass, and you meant it literally. No, that's not. Let's make some noise for that, goddammit.

That wasn't very. That's not what happened. Okay, all right, tell me, tell me. That's how I feel. Listen, listen. Now what happened? Now, if the crowd, we're gonna say yay and nay. Because we're gonna let the crowd gonna say yay and nay because you because

we're gonna let the crowd everybody's here everybody goes to business space right we're gonna let you say your story and then after you say your story we won't ask the audience and we're gonna say yay make noise for that I mean noise and we're gonna see what's this louder all right don't be scared guys but listen you you gonna let that slide listen no no Listen listen How did it start? What she did is She went on a show Okay what show? And they had Was it Conan show?

Yeah It wasn't Drink Chance Podcast And then While she was doing it She said They asked her about You know how I like to create Competitive

Energy Like competitive Like I put power Up against Empire. Did I tell you I knew you'd shoot somebody in the house? I told you,

I knew you'd shoot somebody in the house. Yeah, both coming on at separate times, separate, complete different types of shows,

but really big successful shows with black actors in it. So, I put them in competition because they borrowed some of the actual marketing

from the power show because we came first. You know what I'm saying? So they borrowed that because the executives over at Fox are smart enough to say it's very rare that you hit the bullseye on your targeted audience

and we want that. So they took some of that for Empire. Now look, when she gets a cameo, she's not even in the show. You're not in series regular. You're just in the show. Right?

She goes to go do some publicity for it and because she feels like she has to respond. Now she's on team Empire and I'm over there. So when they say something to her, she goes well, no. And he needs to question himself because when he says,

what do you say about 50 Cent saying Empire ratings are going down because it's gay? Now listen, I said to you it's aggressive for you to have young kids doing it. Because when you have young kids kissing each other on the TV, the kids that are looking are not ready to accept that. They go, nah, too much going on. You see what I'm saying? We got gay characters in power, but we made them to connect. Right.

So it's like he's all the way at the top of the box. You know what I'm saying? All the way at the top of the chain he's doing that. Like, you had gay characters in the wire. Nobody said nothing about Omar. Yeah, Omar. Omar was the illest character in the wire. You know what I'm saying?

That's real. It's different things. Because they don't say, oh, they're not talking about the gay guy that's gonna punch you knock you the fuck out and fuck you in jail they're talking about the guy that wants to be a girl you know i'm saying so when you look at those projects what she was doing when she put herself in a situation when she was in competition with me she had to say something negative she's saying well he should question himself question himself about... Why does he say that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
