For Drink Champs Drink up Motherfucker Motherfucker Would it good be Hopefully it's what it should be This is your boy N-A-O-N-A-A Usually it's that this time We'll be right back. Make some noise! We are very limited and cool, so we need everybody in here to make noise. Right now, I got one of my, what I like to call, the leaders of the new generation.

One of my favorite, one of the lyricals of the lyricals. You know what I'm saying? And got style. Like, you know what I'm saying? He mixed two barrels together. You know what I'm saying? Queens and motherfucking Manhattan.

I ain't gonna lie. If you put those together, you just birthed the flyest nigga in the world. You know what I'm saying? I must say so myself. you know man this guy has the old soul he got joint albums with oh geez he got mixtapes he got all type of things he's signed to to my big homies a label he's a motherfucking a great representative of how the music and how, you know, keeping the city alive

is going. He's a superstar. Got fucking movies. Got fucking all type of crazy shit. His own strand lines. I'm a fan of myself personally. If you don't know

what I'm talking about, motherfucking Dave East makes the motherfucking noise. Now, Dave, you know, I've been trying to get you for a while. Can you pop off? And you got your own bottles of champagne

We ain't got to share here, you know what I'm saying? How we doing? So Dave East, let's be clear, right? Right I want to go through the whole thing But this is something that I want to get to Being that we're in Florida right now It's a step that you took

That I felt was very admirable and honorable. You had Kodak Black on your album. Right. But there was some discrepancies or some misunderstandings. Oh, let's just say what it was. Right. He said something about Nipsey's wife. I don't trust you, bro.

About Nipsey's wife at a don't trust you, bro. About Nipsey's wife at a time where it was just not acceptable. But you, being who you are, you could have ignored that and said, you know what, let me just keep the verse anyway. Because Kodak is Kodak. This is

like the Tupac of our generation, for lack of a better word. But what made you say, let me take that stance and stand on something? Honestly, I'm a big fan of Kodak. You know what I mean? Like, we did the double XL freshman cover together and all that. So I've been a fan. And the record I had him on, I got Lil Baby on it, too.

So they was telling me I was crazy. Like, you got both of them on this record? But me and Nick was tight. Like, tight. You know them on this record. But me and Nip was tight. Like, like tight. You know what I mean? So you just came from Cali, right?

Yeah, I just came from over there. But, cool with his brother, all his homies. Like, I got a different relationship with Nip

than I had with Kodak. And at that time, when I saw it, what he was saying or whatever, it just rubbed me the wrong way. So just,

I move off morals. I don't move off billboard, none of that, or who's the biggest. You know what I'm saying? Like, if it don't feel right or if I feel any amount of disrespect to somebody I got genuine love for. You want him to pop it? If he pop and pop. Okay, cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just want to make sure. Just want to make sure. Yeah, continue. But if I feel like it's any amount of disrespect towards somebody I got genuine love for, and I know they got genuine love for me, you know what I mean? And they're not even around no more to defend themselves, to speak on their own, you know what I mean? I can't move forward with it.

So how did that, was an actual call had to be made to Kodak's crew? No, when you speak, we have the verse. That came through. Shout out to Steve-O. From Def Jam? Yeah, you know Steve. He put that together. And when it happened, I told him,

I don't take Boyle for that. You know what I'm saying? Once I seen it, once that came out, it went viral, what he was saying and all that. That was just a decision I made. It might have been dumb, but that's how I felt in my heart. Like, I can't rock like that.

So what would have happened if you didn't do that? How would you? I don't know. Like I said, I just left Nip Hood. You know what I'm saying? I still go over there and still chill with his family. So I don't know. I just couldn't, it wouldn't have felt right. You know what I'm saying?

I wouldn't have wanted to do that video. I wouldn't have, I just, certain stuff I wouldn't have wanted to do video I wouldn't I just certain stuff I wouldn't want to do you get some champagne let's get some champagne yeah yeah yeah yeah that's your drink you know I'm saying goddamn we happy to have you I wanted to tell you I thought that that was admirable because a lot of people would act like they didn't understand what was happening on a lot of people for lack of a better term, they'll say minding their business. Salute. Salute.

Salute. Salute. Salute. I thought that wasn't a time you should mind your business. I thought that was a great stance, but I also have to point out a lot of people wouldn't have took that stance. A lot of people would.

So that's why I feel like you have an old soul. Like you know what I'm saying? Like I know you young, but alright, so let's take it from the beginning. Because a lot of people in New York City be like, yo, I know something playing ball. Right. Like, so, like Cam come from that. Mace come from that.

You know, I played in the Gauchos. I played for Aim High. If you listen to my joints, I said, I played more of events. Yo, I handled the pill. And no one caught on. So, now Kenny Smith is telling people, yo, Norrie played ball in school. And everybody's like, Norrie played basketball? I'm like, in 1998, I listened to my rhymes. I'm gonna play ball for bits I have to the pill this is Kenny Smith brother, but no one listen to me. They thought I played ball

I handled the pill they thought selling drugs Basketball yeah, so a lot of us come from this background so take it from there I'm sorry me it was like a big set it brush You know what I'm saying? You got to... Slap, crack, rock or got to rip it. Or got a wicked jump shot. You know what I'm saying? That was the options with me. But that was my first love. Like my first...

I don't even know how to explain it. You know what I'm saying? Like that was my everyday get up in the morning. You know what I'm saying? Jesus Suther's work shift. I was on that. Like I want to do it. You know what I'm saying?

I want to do it. I was trying to go to the A with that. You know what I mean? And it tookutter's work shift? I was on that. You know what I'm saying? I was trying to go to the A with that. You know what I mean? And it took me to school. I was able to go to college. Wow. Played with a few players

that's the top dudes right now in the NBA. Wow. They some of my closest friends. Who? Just through ball. Oh, you played with?

Me and Kevin was on. Garnett? Durant. Okay, oh, damn. You was on Durant? Damn, that's my level. I'm bugging. I'm bugging. You don't know me. Wait a minute. You play with Durant. Okay, damn. You was on Durant? Damn, nigga, that's my level. I'm buggin', I'm buggin'. Wait a minute, wait a minute. You play with Durant?

Yeah, KD, that's my guy. I played with a few of them. Jeff Green, a few of them. Harden. Just the AAU circuit. O.J. Mayo. Because we all like the same class.

I graduated in 06. So, we all, you know, I came up in that crew of ballplayers, and it ain't work. I had a hot temper. Was it an ACL injury? No, it was a bad mentality, a bad attitude. That's everybody's excuse that they make it to the league. Not an ACL.

No, I didn't get hurt. I was in perfect shape. I just had a hot, a bad, I just had that You know 18, 19 I don't wanna really hear nothing I'm out I'm some way I'm not used to You know what I mean

So that That was my downfall with that But it wasn't no injury You know what I mean Okay Everybody get injured Or something like that Everybody from the hood

Be like yo My foot My little pinky toe You know what I'm saying Shit got injured You know what I mean Like a nigga You ain't make it.

But all right. So, coming from there, basketball. Is that the hustle's over? Or you will more than madly say, I'm going to hip hop? Or it was that? No, after that is when the struggle from before the ball worked out came back. You know what I'm saying? Because now I'm back in the hood.

As soon as I left, I was at Towson University in Baltimore. I got put out of there. I moved back. I moved to Ravensburg, you know what I'm saying, in Queens. So me and my cousin. And now everybody asks me, why you not in school? Why you not playing ball no more than I am? I'm like I got the weed now. That's over with. I got the buzz. So I went through that and always had a love for rap. My little man, I lived on the sixth floor, my little man lived on the third floor and he had

his own computer, he had the computer, the setup, the mic, all of that. So I convinced him to bring it upstairs. Like, let me try something on that shit. You know what I'm saying? Try the rap. And from there, I locked in. Locked in. Now, you think, coming from where we came from, you think this rap game will ever be where it's at right now?

Hell no. Hell no. I always thought Like I like I said all my favorite Artists including yourself, you know, I'm saying the people that inspired me to even do this shit Y'all was authentic like all has some type of right Something you know I'm saying where somebody wanted substance you want to be like y'all know I'm saying Now it's like anybody could just get hot, make a hot song, get their money.

You know what I'm saying? So I feel like it's way more watered down. Because it seems like that's the route you're taking. You're not trying to chase a hot song or a hot trend. You're actually making complete bodies of work. When you listen to Karma, listen to Karma 2, this is complete bodies of work. This actually goes with the next project right why and for for for like that's why i keep saying you have an old soul like these kids don't care about an album at all why do you care about an album like i'm gonna be honest like if i was you obviously you get a lot of girls and girls

fuck around they be around i would just make a record I got a bunch of homies in my ear like man just do one of them joints now honestly with that I feel like um that's what I still listen to like I just pulled up knocking life after that's what I still listen to. Like, I just pulled up knocking life after. You know what I'm saying? That's what I drove over here listening to. So, I miss that.

Skits and all. Like, they don't do none of that no more. All that's like a lost art. Like, I like to put something on where it feel like you're watching a movie.

Right. Where you sit back, roll your weed up, or you about to get on the road, whatever. Like the Chronic album. When you did the Chronic, you actually,

I felt like I was in California. Like you was there. Yeah. You know what I'm saying there's a few artists that still do that Wayne's last album he just did that he put a lot of skits on there

you know what I'm saying YG do that he'll bring you to his world Kendrick do that he bring you to his like certain artists bring you to their world but that's like a lost

now it's all about the sound or just if it's you know can you dance to it it's just a new trend can they do a TikTok to it I don't care about none of that you know what I'm saying that ain't what's, you know, can you dance to it? It's just a new trend. Can they do a TikTok to it? I don't care about none of that.

You know what I'm saying? That ain't what moved me. You know what I mean? So, I want to put, I want to put shit out that's going to outlive me. That's my thing.

You know what I mean? 10 years from now, you're going to still be like, nah, that shit was hard. You know what I mean? Right. So,

with that being said, how, is it difficult being, doing business with Nas or is it easier? said, how, is it difficult being, doing business with Nas, or is it easier? Because, like, I don't want to say what I was going to say, but go ahead. Right. To me, it's easier. Okay.

If you know him, like, you know him before me, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nas is cool, man. And he's somebody that, he just, you know, he give me the game. Like, if I got a question for Big Bro, you know what I mean? He let me know exactly, like, nah, do that like that. You know what I'm saying? And then I could just put that to Hive if I was going to move and just take his advice.

But it definitely helped shit I was doing because the majority of people in hip-hop culture that ain't born in 2015. You know what I'm saying? Right. They fans are bro. You know what I'm saying? They grew up to bro. So that definitely helped me move a lot smoother. I'm going to tell you

why it's a double-edged sword. Always for me. Right. Because sometimes when I hang out with Nas or Chill or whatever, I won't post a picture. Mm-hmm.

Look, I'm just smoking. And if I do take a picture, I won't post it for Like I just spoke And if I If I do take a picture You keep fighting with that I won't post it for a while Right Because Like so many people Like I've never seen People turn groupie

Right For like Him and Hov Yes dude Like they got something Like makes everybody A groupie That Michael Jackson shit

They got Michael Jackson shit For real That or like For real The whole room Everybody You post a picture with this nigga Niggas is hitting you that never hit you like yo, what's up my bro? You know me just okay. You do you help me get a verse from now? It's like no Why I got the police now hold on

Oh shit, okay. Oh, that's okay. I was definitely cop. It was a cop now. Huh? It's either a cop or somebody copping. All right, cool. My bad. Yes, so. Esco is cool, man. He cool.

He just, he one of the dudes in the game that I got a chance to. I got a chance to get around that really helped me move. Like, just, you know, just watching him from afar helped me move. Like, just, you know what I'm saying? Helped me move. I just like his style, you know what I'm saying?

No homo. I just like his, you know what I'm saying? I like his style. I think, like I said, it's a gift and a curse. More of a gift than a curse. And it's like, know for me no getting to

really know him throughout the years like I used to roll son's blunts I don't know how to look at my my shit is terrible like I roll terrible blunts you know what I'm saying but I listen it's just smokable for me and for him you know what I mean but um going through that one of the most genius people I ever met a lot of people sleep on is a guy named Jungle. And I always want to give Jungle his props because I can't even tell you the initial meeting and what Jungle did for me

because I gotta save it for the movie slash documentary. That's how dope it is and if I say it right now if I say it right now it's still dope but it ain't gonna be like when you see it acted out. But I've never seen a person, like, be able to handle business and not change his integrity of who he is. He's always still a hood nigga.

He's always still drinking Henny. He's always, but he handles his business. So a lot of that I took You know what I'm saying Like we had a short time With Jungle was managing me And then We needed the big dogs To come in

So I got Chris Lighty And Jungle was like You know what You need It's time for you To move on It's like it was time For you to move on

But I always wish I would have told him no Right And be like Yo just stick around because he was like you know what this guy's gonna teach you something I can't teach you you don't say so he bowed down but I always wish I would have said nah nigga fuck that let's learn this together you know Sam but I knew who his

brother was so I knew he didn't really really need it but a lot of people don't know how smart jungle is so the work the word on the street is Junk's, not discovered you, but saw you rapping. It wasn't. Like, the illest part with that is I used to go to Queens, you know, the woods to the bridge. Yeah, yeah. 21st Street. That's just a walk up the block. So I'd be in the bridge every day, literally.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, oh, my rest in peace. My little bro just passed. Shooter. That's who had me over there every day. Hold on. Hold on, everybody. Let's do a...

What was his last... He's from 12th Street? Yeah. Let's do 12 seconds. What is it called? Silence? Silence. Silence. I'm out. I would see Jungle, like you was just saying. Jungle's that type where you be walking through the bridge,

he be chilling, you know what I'm saying? So me and him, we got cool. Shout out to Snacks. We be in Snacks Crib, you know what I'm saying? Speak up my nigga Bully who just came in here too. What's going on, my nigga? What's going on, baby? They see you as the Bahamas, nigga.

I ain't see you as the Bahamas. You Hollywood, nigga. All right, go ahead. We be in Snacks Crib. Jungle calling me. Bring me some cigarettes. All right, good. We're good. We be in Snacks' crib. Junk calling me. Bring me some cigarettes. Da-da-da-da-da. Like, just regular shit.

Yeah. But the whole hood talking about me rapping. You know what I'm saying? So he's like, nigga, that's you? Right. Like, yeah, nigga. Like, so you putting Nas on? That's how that happened.

Like, Nas ain't know about me. Like, Junk did that. I'll never forget him and Snacks FaceTiming me in L.A. Right. Like, bro fucking with your shit. You know what I'm saying? We're here pulling your videos up on YouTube. I'm like, what?

And at this time, I got all videos of the projects. There's no nothing going on. Just doing raves with me. I'm even uptown over there. You know what I'm saying? That's where I'm shooting all my visuals. I'm like, damn, he tuned down. All right, it's lit.

Okay, so describe some people who coming up, people that's in the projects right now, that is a star that's from their projects. Maybe they from left rack, maybe they from, you know, Cam projects, maybe from Jim Jones, maybe they from your projects. Describe that feeling of a dude being the man from that hood and interested in you. What is that? It's overwhelming. It's like it's dope and spooky at the same time.

I mean, yours is a little deeper because you got like the best rapper in the fucking game. That was crazy, bro. For me, it's like this. This is how I felt about it. When Nas came out. He came out in 92, I believe. Let's like this. This is how I felt about it. When Nas came out. He came out in 92, I believe. But let's Google that. Let's not sit around here like we not got.

Wasn't he with Barbecue? No, no, no. We're talking about Illmatic. Illmatic. When he was 94. 94? Can we triple check that, though, sir? When the world knew who he was.

What year was that? I'm going to break it down how I feel about the situation. Yo, listen. I'm going to tell you. 94. 94. I'm going to tell you before you get there. It was a time.

I'm from Queens, right? It was a time on Rikers Island where Queens niggas really had to give it up. Because there was this guy named Karis One that said, I didn't hear a peep from a place called Queens. And if you was a Queens nigga, you had to be, I'm talking about you could be a murderer. Me walking through the fourth building, the sixth building, you walking through, niggas just like, Queens.

So it wasn't until this album that dropped, until 1994, when niggas had to realize, Queens niggas is going to war. And we going, and we going, we going to take your motherfucking head off. Because that was his first line. Thank you, Niles.

Goddamn, I'm sorry. Sorry, I had a moment. I had a moment. Because listen, bro, I ain't going to lie. It was rough on Queens niggas. Any nigga, because the thing was, we definitely lost that battle. Let's just be clear

I'm sorry MC Shan I love you Seen you on live the other day You deserve I need you on drink chance buddy But listen I just want to be clear Shout out to Shan

When it came to that So And especially Queens Bridge You know how Queens Bridge Is a rough fucking place But people are looking at Queens Bridge Like this is a corny, you know. If you ain't been there, you would never know.

And then the KRS is like, you didn't hear Pete from a place called Queens. You're like, what? Oh, Queens, bitch, it's a garden. You're thinking like you could go out there and just rob every drug dealer. Like, go ahead. Let me just come in my hat and like, so. Let me come in my hat and just say everybody. Ain't shit sweet on that side.

Ain't no shit sweet. At all. Me, you know, going from 40 projects, going and just realizing, but it wasn't to that album. So that's why before you started your story, Midnight 94, that was my proudest moment.

When that came out. I know I love that album more than the eyes. I swear to God. I tell him that all the time. He's like, no, there's no out. I know I love that album more than Nas. I swear to God. I tell him that all the time. He's like, no, there's no way. I'm like, I'm telling you, I have more fights to you for that album. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I went too far.

I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, I just feel like, you know, from 9-4 to He Signed Me 2014, you know what I'm saying? But a lot of people. Look at the numbers. It's all about you somehow. Look at that space. Yeah, 94 to 2014. Wow. You know what I'm saying But a lot of people Look at the numbers Look at that It's all about you somehow Look at that space That gap

94 to 2014 Wow You know what I'm saying 20 years 30 You feel me 30 30

God damn it That's understanding Maybe through You know the three Brought to zero Then you equals to three You know what I'm saying Understand

Continue You're building God Peace Word Word If you go from 9-4 to 2014 I can't understand it, go ahead and continue, brother, you're building, go on, it's good. Peace. Word. Word. If you go from 9-4 to 2014, how many artists from his own projects, you know what I'm saying,

that probably wanted that shot or for him to do that? So, when it happened for me, it was like a lot of love, but a lot of like, fuck is this nigga, where that come from? It was a lot of that too but a lot of like, fuck is this nigga? Like, where that come from? Like, it was a lot of that too, so. This nigga from Harlem too. Yeah,

he's not from here. He's not just from here. So I had to, I had to really prove it. I know the hood, yeah. Be around, and you know what I'm saying?

Like, I got my, I'm good, like, you know what I'm saying? But it took a while to, you know, the bridge ain't,

if you ain't from there, they ain't just going jack you like that unless you really know somebody from over there or you be over there all the time you gotta put in work

yeah so Jung and just certain motherfuckers I was around kinda helped me navigate all that shit

you know what I'm saying from way before it was even lit you know what I mean when you was going to Queensbridge and seeing Jung was that on Vernon he be everywhere

that's right Jung be everywhere Jung be all on any of Don block yeah I come from the era of Queens Bridge we might be in the park we might be a river paula I might jump I beat okay my call me be anywhere like you know I'm Sam now we also seen two other day there's footage of you getting arrested by the cops on 21st Street that was 21 was 21st Street? That was in the bridge? Coming out of the bridge and leaving. Going by the gate,

by the gate on the bridge to go back up there. So what was... I went to go light a candle and all that for sure. You know what I'm saying? You know how the cops do it. Once it's a crowd

and the corona and all, they just start violating. But I was on my way out. They kind of like sat on me. And as soon as we was leaving out, they pulled behind us and all that, pulled in front of us, made us jump out the car and all that. Locked me in my room, took us to 14th and Precent, three, four hours. And shoot, the funeral was the next morning. So I'm in there like, yo, please, let us out before 10 a.m.

they don't know what the fuck we talking about. Cause we using a generic name as son, but it's the ultimate, you know, he's the ultimate. Well, moving it's the ultimate you know he's the ultimate well I'm moving on so when you hear he's interested what do you take what do you go from

that you've dropped more mixtapes because that's a difference between our Jenna um your generation is you guys had to just keep pulling out you go like once we had a buzz of somebody saying they're into us what we would do is we try to cater to them but you living in a different generation you living like you said 2014 so I imagine so what is your approach your approach is let me keep working or let me fall back until he steps up no my approach was not bombs away okay I got the, like, I feel like that's what made bro fuck with me like he do. Because I told him, I said, bro, all you ever had to do was say my name. I ain't need a dollar from you.

I ain't need, I ain't even need a verse. Like, if the verse to me was a, like, once we start making music together, I was like, oh, this is crazy. Like, I never expected that shit. But he went on Power 105 on Angie's show and said my name. Right. And by the time. This is before like I never expected that shit, but he went on on power no five on Angie show And said my name and by the time before you sign before I saw that he spoke on me Saying that and at this when he said that, I'm still living in Ravenswood. Right.

The whole project's new. Everybody telling me, yo, you heard Nas? You talking about it? I'm like, what? Who?

Woke up the next morning, shit was on Worldstar, seen it. You know what I'm saying? I bought, I'm like, oh, this is,

it's lit now. Now it's time to go up because I got the, the cosign of all cosigns. You know what I'm saying? In my mind. Just think about it, man.

Nas was so powerful and I wanted, because Steve, Steve Stiles said, said this on the show and I never really corrected him. He's, of all cosigns. You know what I'm saying? In my mind. Just think about it, man. The eyes are so powerful. And I wanted, because Steve Stiles said this on the show and I never really corrected him. Steve Stiles said, you know, Cole Mega just got

signed off for a shout out. And the crazy shit about that is, I understood where Steve Stiles was coming from, but Mega had his own. But if you think about the narrative of that,

how crazy is that? That person could accuse you of just getting a shout out. And changing life. Like, I'm going to be honest. He had, it was written. I think it was taken in blood. At the end of there, he just said, Capone and Noriega. And you have no idea.

You have no idea. Nigga pussy level went up. Nigga pussy level went up. Like, oh shit, holy shit. Bitches like, hey Noriega. Like, you know, everybody called you Norie before. Like, but the nigga just said, yo, come on in Noriega. Now all of a sudden, Noriega.

What the fuck? Oh, son just said that. Oh, you heard son. Oh, son, you heard son. All right, cool. So moving back to you, that's how powerful the dude is. I always joke with him about that. But I think sometimes he humbles himself to not play how powerful he is,

but that's how powerful he is. So, you turn it up, and then what is it actually like when they say, well, you know, contracts is going to be important? I was talking with his manager. His manager. Anthony? Yeah. Ant reached out.

That's why I spoke to Ant before I spoke to Nas. I was just, I'm still not believing Jungle. I'm like, man, Jungle talking shit. Like,

Nas ain't fucking with me. Oh, Nas, ain't no way. But, Ant hit me. That's when I knew it was real. He was like,

yo, I'm in the city. Let's link up. Let's go get something to eat What's that shit across From the Def Jam building Seraphina or something Palm

But in your mind, you're like, I spoke to his brother and his manager. His brother and his manager. So I'm not there in my mind.

But she's like, you ain't spoke to him? You know what I'm saying? Okay. Why was this, bro? Next day, I got the call. Now it's hitting me. Direct.

or you actually either be... Because I don't want to say mediocre. It's just that he's just so great, right? He's just so great that a lot of people would sit back and be like yo you didn't meet reach his level So you didn't make it. How does is that pressure on you or? Because like right now you're like and again, I apologize for lack of a better term You're like his Kanye West like you're like his actual this is my artist that I actually took and it worked it worked right you know I'm sad so is that pressure or is that like now I look at it like this like I don't feel

like a LeBron or KD or Hall I don't feel like they trying to outdo a Michael Jordan you can't I could never outdo what Nas did. It was the time he came in the game, the era, that's in stone already. But I could create my own legacy. Or for what he did. You know what I'm saying? He was the one that introduced me to the world. So with that, I got to do me and focus on what I could leave to the game. And the kid I might put on 10 years from now. That's how I be thinking. But I don't look at it like, yo, I got to live up to now, stand to all the shit he did. And that's impossible. You know what I'm saying? That's impossible

to do. But have you ever been in a situation where your idols became your rivals? On the record? Hell yeah. On a song? Not in person or nothing like that. It'd be love. But on a song, I don't,

Everybody, pour the shot, but please listen. Because, listen, I don't know if you know Dave East. Our show is about giving people their flowers. You know what?

And people want to say how great people is after they're gone and after they're dead. I don't want to do that. In this show, I want people to know how great they is. I want people here. And I want you to know, bro, a lot of people are going to say, well, is Dave East a legend or not? That's why I want you to describe the stories of what you've been through and all that.

Because I know you're a legend.

This is about saluting our brother's hair. But damn, the gloves smell good, baby. Salute, salute. Salute. So, I'm bouncing around a little bit. Now, one of the things is... That was a good one. One of the things is, gang culture, right?

Right. Is I remember hearing, I think it was T. Rogers. Or something. He alluded to it. Let me get something up. He alluded to that. You know what? Or New York gang banging or whatever, but they should have their own sets. So I remember people banging Crenshaw or Mafia or something like that in New York. And then whatever, whatever.

But now it seems like New York has their own sets. Right. Am I correct in my analyzation? Yeah, there's a lot of... I ain't going to say a lot, but there's a few sets that was originated in New York. You know what I'm saying? It's either Blood or Crip, but it started in New York. Is that sanctioned?

I feel like it's up to that set. Like, I'm from rolling 30s, you know what I'm saying? So I had to go to L.A. and tap in with the actual, you know what I'm saying? I had to go over there and tap in with the OGs, the young homies, the girls, like everybody. I had to just go over there and let my presence be known because I couldn't be in New York or be on these videos throwing up certain shit or banging certain shit,

and I ain't went and tapped in where it was originated. You know what I mean? So I feel like that'd be the? I don't know. I feel like it's up to what you bang. I know with my shit, you got to go tap in over there or they ain't going to respect it. You know what I'm saying? Bring a Nipsey in. When you

met Nipsey, you told him this is the gang. You know what's crazy? When I met Nip, everybody that was with me grew up with him. So it almost made it like... In L.A.? Yeah, because the 30s and he from the 60s. No, I'm saying when you met Nipsey, it was in L it almost made it like... In L.A.? Yeah, because the 30s and the 60s... No, I'm saying when you met Nip, it was in L.A.? In L.A.

I met him on Crenshaw and Slauson in his parking lot. Right where that happened. I met him right there. Goddamn. You know what I'm saying? I just sat a Nip on my back. I saw that. But I called him.

I said, yo, I'm in L.A. He said, go to the store. I'm going to get you a package for you. I just had Kyrie. He said, I'm going to get you a package for you and me. I just had Kyrie. He said, I'm going to get you and your daughter a package together. Just go over there. At this time, Fats was in the store.

Rest in peace, Fats. That was his left-hand man. Fats got me together, got me all kind of Crenshaw shit for my mom, my daughter. Nick pulled up. And then from that day on, we was locked in. You know what I'm saying? But the people I pulled up with from the 30s

that I was already with grew up with him. Knew him already. So when he seen me with them he like, oh cuz, tapped in. Like you ain't, you just not a rapper

that's out here claiming you cribbed da da da da da. You really tapped in with the turf. Like the people you with I been knew them before I was Nipsey.

So I feel like that kind of made our relationship a little stronger. But what made you want to do that? Because, again, our New York attitude is we from the city. So what made you say, let me go to L.A. and let me tap in? Because this is the culture. We actually jacking a real gang that really exists right over there like it ain't like this something we woke up and said we're gonna be harlem crips right are we gonna be like that shit is a real gang like i know people 60 damn near 70 years old that you know'm saying, that jacked them thumbs. Like, they've been doing that for decades.

So I fortunately got famous. You know what I'm saying? I could have stayed in the hood, and I probably still would have wanted to go tap in. But the fact that I'm on the front line, I'm in all these clubs, I'm everywhere, I got to have tap in with the roots of it. You know what I'm saying?

I got to be able to go over there and politic with them, then come back to New York and move around and be everywhere. I got to have tap in with the roots of it. You know what I'm saying? I got to be able to go over there and politic with them, then come back to New York and move around and be everywhere. Because at this point, the gang shit is everywhere. It ain't just an L.A., New York thing. It's every city, every... It'd be little cities you just visiting, and it'd be 100 Crips out there, 200 Bloods out there. You'd be like, yeah, this is crazy.

So I just like Just me personally I feel more comfortable Knowing I'm tapped in Where it was created You know what I mean Make some noise for that God damn it

So Now it's different Because on the east coast There's a lot of brothers That grew up together Right But they Like some of their best friends

Some of them are bloods And some of them Are Are crips Right Homies live in the same crib Little brother Big brother One blood together. Some of their best friends, some of them are Bloods and some of them are Crips. I had homies live in the same crib. Little brother, big brother. One Blood. The big brother Blood, the little brother Crip. In New York? In Ravenswood. Oh shit. The older brother

Blood and the little brother Crip. And they live in the same house. Same mama and papa? They love each other. That's his brother But how does that work? They just don't jack the same shit You know what I'm saying?

He went that way He went that way Like that's real life I've seen that Like Because Cause from my era right We would never thought

We've seen this Right But from your era This is actually Normal Right Cause I'm 42 How old are you?

31 31 I can't Yes So this is normal to you Extremely That's crazy Because I'm 42. How old are you? 31. 31. Okay, yes. So this is normal to you. Extremely. That's crazy. Because I'm 11 years older than you, right?

A decade. Okay. But to you, alright, cool. So, since you seeing Harlem, seeing people wearing

all blue on Harlem is natural. Now. Now. Because I remember when, I remember Dipset had the whole town blood. Yeah. Everybody, you know what I'm saying?

I can visually remember that. Everybody was blood. So I feel like, you know what's crazy? I feel like you always got your real ones that have been putting on regardless of what's going on. But when you see the waves of it, it has a lot to do with rap and the culture of what's going on but when you see the waves of it it has a lot to do with rap in the in the in the culture and what's going on and who's in a position to influence that you know i'm saying i feel like that have a lot to do with it you know i mean look snoop snoop been look he's

been crippling forever still on that like that you know i'm saying like and he was martha steward and he still do mad positive real big business all kind of ill shit I'm crippled yeah you know I'm saying like you know we tell you a funny story about snow right smooth Ellis hello all right cool I was gonna I was gonna go somewhere hold on no relax because I was about to hit you with three different relax.

So I pulled up. As I pulled up, I still hurt off of me having, I'm leaving. That was on the war report. Drags told me that was whack. Said, I'm leaving. Like, what is that about? You some ragamuffin shit?

Hurt my heart. So I thought this record was garbage. Trash to you there? It's a fact. I thought the record was garbage. So I came out. I asked to walk in the studio, because there was some bullshit back then.

You know, 4 o'clock, you got to check in at 4 o'clock. So they're in the studio. I go. Nigga, it's Nature. Dr. Dre. His name was White Boy Scott at the time. They wouldn't even call him Scott Storch. Mel, man.

Shout out to Storch, man. Hey, we're going to be just my brothers. Just lock them with them. Shout out to Storch, man. Big up to these, that's my brothers. Shout out to Storch. Just like them with them. Shout out to Storch. And these are all these people here in this one room. And then they say, anybody got something for this? And then they play.

As soon as I hear the beat, I'm like, I'm leaving. And I sing it. And Dre's like, I'm leaving. And I sing it. And Dre's like, you got that? And I'm like, and I go in and I lay, I'm leaving. But this was Nature's session. This is the reason why I fuck with Nature to this day. Because if I was Nate, I might have been like, hold up. What are you doing? Wait a minute.

If I do it, wait a minute. This is my session. Ain't you tomorrow? Wait a minute, my dude. Wait a minute. This is my session. Ain't you tomorrow? He couldn't do that. He was supposed to do that. But he looked. That's how niggas be with themselves. That's how niggas be.

So Nate looked at me. This ain't your day, dog. And it was like the doc just asked me to get in. So I went in. But the crazy shit was I laid my shit perfectly. See, a lot of people don't know back in the days I was one take nori for real super thug is one track what what what what what is one track that's one take as I didn't know how to punch in it's not cause I was so I didn't know how to punch in. In fact, we used to record on,

we called it Dorf's. So anyway, so when I went in, I just laid this shit. So I had the whole song. The whole song was done. And Dre was like, you can't.

You have to lay it five more times because no one is perfect around me. I swear to God. He's like the first take. And I know he used the first taste and i know he used the first take i know they used the first take but anyway bottom line is when i went the reason why i bring that up is because when i went to the bahamas and i looked at what was doing and i said this is what son is trying to create this was so dope like to me because i'm sitting back saying years later he's trying to create to recreate the firm without actually naming it a name. But that's why that record, if you understand what I'm saying, it feels like the new firm, new body of business.

You know what I mean? Because of that. That was a vibe, bro. That Bahamas was a vibe, bro. That's a vibe I never caught before. That was a vibe, bro. You don a vibe I never caught before. Like, you don't go to Bahamas all the time. And then to be out there and we just in the studio every day. And just chefs walking around. Hey, you want some carrot chicken? Yeah. I kept ordering. Listen, listen.

I don't know what it was. I don't know what I was I don't know Have five records for niggas to choose from I had a Oh Whatever you want and I'll make some new shit, but I was like I got a nice check I went out there at all. had all flip-flops I had my taco meat showing I was out there like yo let's have some fun baby's on me she was just crazy like I was dead as waking up drinking yeah working on the drink up so I'm gonna downstairs niggas at the bar right that was that was it so I want to commend Peter, Jeff, everybody that said- Everybody that put that together.

Yeah, everybody that mass appealed. Shouts to mass appeal. Yeah, let's big them up, man. Let's big them up. Let's big them up, man. Shouts to mass appeal. It felt good. One thing I like is seeing the homie bully around.

That's big, bro. That's before I even- Right. I ain't going to front. Let's get into that. That's who gave me the, that's who put the battery in my back, you heard? Like, in real life.

When you wanted to stop? Nah, when I was, when I couldn't figure out what to do. When Bob, when I was done with basketball and I was hustling and trying to make me a couple dollars, like, he was telling me, nigga, you a star. You a star, you know what I'm saying? He was bringing me, he was the first person bringing me around artists you know I'm

saying like I never was around no rappers I was in the hood he was bringing me around Trey songs Jim Jones all these different artists cam jewels like so I was getting to see that shit ten years before I even decided this is what I want to do. Like, I was getting to see that shit. So I tell people all the time, like, it's rare you have friends that rock with you that long. You know what I'm saying? Like, through it all, from the trap to the good, through the bad, through it all. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Bully been there. If anybody that know me, you done seen this nigga. Like, you know what I mean? So, but he there. If anybody that know me, you done seen this nigga. Like, you know what I mean? So, but he the one that really put that, gave me the energy. Like, yo, bro, lock in. And you gonna be one of them. You gonna be all them niggas that we gonna pull up on and party with. You gonna be, they gonna be pulling up on you.

You gonna be one of them niggas too. And I just took that advice and ran with it. You know what I'm saying? This shit work. It's a beautiful thing because you know why? When you keep it real with your people and your people keep it real with you. Hold on, hold on. Wait for me, nigga. Hold on, hold on. We're going to try to

stop saying nigga. We're going to try to stop saying nigga. Killer Cameron? Holy shit. Wait for me, bro. Killer Cameron just texted me. Holy moly. Nigga, he knew all the niggas that had.

Nigga like that. Nigga, nigga, nigga. Let me tell you nigga, nigga. I'm not that. These is one of them shots. These shit sound a little different. Let me tell you something, bro. I really grew up with Cam and Jim Jones on some real shit. They from Harlem, I'm from Queens. But 1998 was the best year of hip hop. I apologize.

Best year of my best year of hip hop. No, best year of hip hop Best year of hip hop period I think so That's when DMX dropped them two albums I ain't gonna front now Me and Cameron Me and Cameron dropped Hov is not in that freshman class though

He dropped in 98 But he's not in that freshman class The freshman class was Cannabis DMX Corrupt Nori Cameron Corrupt my boy Yo listen I mean I can't lie to you Y'.U.P., Nori, Cam'ron.

K.R.U.P., my boy. Yo, listen, I mean, I can't lie to you. Y'all was 10 and 98, Nori. Word? I ain't gonna lie. Yo, listen, man. I was a child. I'm not gonna lie. I got... The homies was lit.

Listen, listen. The homies was lit. I got so much pussy for you back then. Like, I was finger popping bitches for you back then. For real. Like, back then. Like, yo. This was Dave East when he get up. You me. Like, back then. Like, yo. This is for Dave East when he get up.

You know what I'm saying? That's for you. When he get up. That's for you. That's for you. He caught up, though. Thank you, man. He definitely caught up. Nah, Dave, let me go get to that.

Let me go get to that. You know how I do it. But, yo, so I'll be honest. Cam, I'm going to tell the story. I'm going to tell the story. I'm going to tell the story. This is the reason why. You from Harlem? Yeah.

You from Harlem? Queens. Okay, good. I know you're from Brooklyn, right? Yes, sir. Okay, I'm going to tell you why these Harlem niggas is crazy. We at Horse and Carriage Video. Horse and Carriage.

If you look at Horse and Carriage Video, it's probably the only two times I ever had my shirt open. Ever. I don't know what these niggas did to me. That's how you was throwing it? I don't know what these niggas did to me, right? I'm in the pool like this. I'm doing the Jada dance in 1998, nigga. I'm doing it.

So, I'm thinking we all bent. So, we go outside, go downstairs. So I'm thinking we all been. So we go outside, go downstairs. It's a ball court there. So I'm like, all right. I know the type of nigga I am. So I'm looking at Cam. And I know I know him from ball.

But we don't connect. We don't talk like that at this time. So about that. And him, Jem, Freaky. Look, and I know the niggas I got with me is not niggas I trust. In Dem Day. Like, you know, to play ball, you got to trust the niggas. You got to trust these niggas. You got to trust these niggas.

When you're making salads, you got to trust niggas. You got to trust these niggas. And I know you're going to be ready to go out, but I knew it. But I was just thinking like, yo, I'm Slam. I'm DeJounte. You're Michael Jordan. I don't got to really depend. One of them I trust.

The other three is Franks. They limits. But let's just try anyway. We play against Cam. I'm thinking these niggas is busting. They drinking Henny all day, champagne. Yo, Cam nice nigga. I don't know what these niggas doing.

I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know what these niggas doing. I don't know thinking these niggas is busting. They drinking Henny all day. Champagne. Yo, Cam, nice nigga. I don't know what these niggas did.

Stop. Stop. But at some point, I don't know why I say at tip-off. Because we deaf, we hood people. We don't tip off. So at check. Check more, man. They turn into different individuals. I haven't forgave Cam. at check check more man they turned into

different individuals I haven't forgave Cam or Jim Jones to this day to this day I have not I have not

forgave them they turned it up on me bro I was like yo you know how many shows I did with y'all for free like I was the guest the guest you know how many shows I did with y'all for free? Like, I was the guest. The guest?

You know how it is. You're coming out. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Never charged for none of that. Two days at Harlem, nigga, you're taking a real person who is dice and basketball. They didn't let me get that one. And we were in Harlem.

We were downtown. But they was like adjacent. It's like technically still mad so big up to uh Cam uh big up to uh Freegie big up to Ant I remember Ant I remember the um the big big boy that passed away um I think his name is Mike I I forget. Jim, yo, we really went on tour in the beginning. We really from entertainment and, you know, big them up, man. I really love them brothers, man. I really do. I really love them.

So moving on. What make you name a project Karma? Because for lack of a better term karma is something that comes back in the hood in the hood right in reality it's something that could come back positive or negative but in the hood people use karma as negative a negative way so when i that's that's where that came from okay like i but i but I knew, I'm big on like, like one word. You know what I mean?

Like me and Styles did Beloved. I'm getting to that. You know what I'm saying? My first album was Paranoia. Like, I'm just big on one word that says everything that I'm talking about

on this project. You know what I'm saying? Or just the vibe I got. And I'm a strong believer in what goes around comes around. you know what I'm saying? Or just the vibe I got. And I'm a strong believer in what goes around comes around. You know what I'm saying? Whatever you put out into the universe, I feel like that shit gonna come back, you know what I'm saying? So I try to, you know, we all do our dirt,

but I try to consciously put good out, you know what I'm saying? Hoping that shit come back to me, you know what I'm saying? Cause I got friends that ain't here no more. They doing 100 years. They put bad into the universe. I watched them do it. I might have did it with them. But that's all they did, you know what I'm saying?

And the karma of that, it never come back good, you know what I'm saying? You probably got a few people that did horrible, and they didn't get away, you know what I'm saying? You probably got a few people that did horrible and they didn't get away. You know what I'm saying? Luckily. But 90% of the time, that karma come back bad depending on what you put out into the world.

So I felt like that was just a strong title that everybody can relate to. Whether you're from the hood, suburb, wherever you're from, it's karma. You know what I'm saying?

If you treat your, if you, if you treat your, whoever, your kids wrong, your mom wrong, whoever you do, anybody over you, do them good. You know what I'm saying? You got good karma coming back. You do them wrong, that shit going to come back somehow. You know what I'm saying?

Especially to somebody that got nothing but genuine love, you know what I'm saying, for you. And I feel like in the hood a lot of times, the survival, like my last album, Survival, you know what I'm saying? Once that come into play, you don't think about karma.

But when you take survival, paranoia, and karma, is this as emotions you feel like you're feeling? It's all me. You know what I'm saying? You got to remember, when I dropped Paranoia, I was transitioning from the projects to a condo in Jersey.

Now it's just said my name. I just got my first rollie. I just got the range roll, like all that. So I was like, oh. You know what I'm saying? The looks in the hood are a little different. Them daps is a little. You feeling paranoid.

You know what I'm saying? Them daps used to be, come in. They used to hug me and all. Nah, what I'm saying? Them daps used to be, come in. They used to hug me and all nines. What up, baby? What up, man? Yeah, there's a little... You might be taking

my chick down. You know what I mean? That's how they deal with it. That's so funny. That's how they deal with it. Oh, I know you forever, but now you doing good and you out of here

and I'm still here. And you got Dominican eyebrows. Is this Dominican eyebrows or Puerto Rican? This is Dominican. This is Dominican? I ain't gonna lie. Look, Dominican, Puerto Rican. Look, man knocking them a lot down, though.

Let's keep it real. I be chilling, man. Yeah? I'm going to go ahead and keep it a ball. I be on ice, man. I'm like, hold on, man. Hold on, man. I'm like, hold on. I be on ice.

I be focused on, you know, being the best father I can be. You know what I'm saying? I got girls, so. Nah, we respect that. I feel like with a boy, you can rock and roll. You know what I'm saying, boy? You know what I mean? With a girl, you got.

But before the girl, you had your time in this game. Let's just be clear. Yeah, I didn't enjoy it. Let's just be clear. Listen, I lived. I'm not these other guys. I'm not a motherfucker. What's this nigga named?

Skip Bayless. We lived. We lived. I'm Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, nigga, you know what I mean? I was in them locker rooms,

baby, baby. Goddamn, baby. Pussy come good, baby. I'm married now. Listen,

I go home every night. I do not cheat, but I live through y'all niggas. Like, when I be looking at y'all Instagram, I'm like, God damn it. I be like,

go front. Norm, my pops had me crying over there. He said, man. Uh-huh. I know he going with it. He said, if I could only just switch places with you. Look, nigga said for 30 minutes.

That's all I need. Let me just trade places with you for 30 minutes. I think son got it, though. Son got it. Son got it. I'm telling you, man. No, I'm not going to lie. I'm very proud of your generation because y'all figured it out.

The thing about y'all generation is y'all actually figured out how the label needs y'all. Like right now, if Def Jam was to sever ties with you or you know whatever sever time you have your fan base I'm good you like I kid you not and that's something your whole generation got whether they realize that or not they got that it's y'all follow it this is your Instagram never give these guys your fucking Instagram never give these guys your password to none of this shit. I don't give a fuck if it's a new app called... I tell people all the time,

not to cut you off, but shouts to Def Jam. Shouts to Def Jam. You know what I'm saying? Shouts to Def Jam. Can these guys clap for Def Jam? What are y'all doing, man? I grew up on them.

So I was in... You know, everybody was over there from the Rough Riders, to fucking Murda Ink, Rockefeller. I grew up on that shit. So to me, it was like a cross of a finish line. Like, I'm on Def Jam.

But getting blindsided by the fact of all of this work I already put in. All of the things I've already created. You know what I'm saying? You could have actually had the same success on your own from the rap to the acting that was all I'm getting to the acting slow down that was me I'm just you know what I mean I'm just thinking about

the shit I fuck with you know what I mean that's all things that came from me and the work I was putting in and whoever reached out directly to me and like so a lot of that was like it's dope to be here, but I didn't kind of create my own situation.

You got a publishing deal? That ain't going to go nowhere. You got a publishing deal? It's pretty much the same thing with a publishing deal, which actually means, right? A publishing deal, you get your money back when you sell the actual records to like video games or movies or whatever like that.

But if you know the people who make the video games, even though people make the movies, there's actually no need to get a publishing deal. But these motherfuckers are telling you 900K. You don't know that. They saying. One nigga from the hood denying that. When I got my publishing deal, I was fresh out the projects.

And they offering some shit I never heard of. Exactly. So I'm like, where do I sign? You know what I'm saying? Where do you got a pen? But it does mean, if it's not a hundred it does mean your shit's worth 1.8. It's a fact.

It's a fact. But you have to work that 1.8. You have to work that 1.8. Now you to get that on. You have to work that 1.8. Now they give you all that bread, now you got to get busy. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You got to get busy. That's how that work.

That's how that work. If you don't get busy, you don't get that. That's how that work. Or you in debt. You can hold on forever. You know what I'm saying? I ain't in the own a soul. I ain't want to owe nobody in the hood.

I don't want to owe nobody in the industry. And here's the crazy shit. Here's the crazy shit. Us. When I say us, I don't want to turn nobody in the hood. I don't want to owe nobody in the industry. And here's the crazy shit. Here's the crazy shit. Us, when I say us, I don't want to turn into that old guy, right? My day. It's my day. I don't want to be that.

Fuck my day, right? Like, I'm all right in this day, all right? How about that? Y'all was all right. So that was kind of cool. All right, cool. I like that you're a late laugh, nigga. I'm expecting that.

I'm expecting that. But what I'm trying to say is when I when we was making albums back then right the reason why we didn't recoup was a

a great reason and I'm gonna break it down to you not to say like it was a different generation but it kinda was meaning they had to pay for the album cover

they had to pay for the actual the credits every time you wanted to shout your man out, Spanky was eating hot dogs. That nigga from, you know what I'm saying, from motherfucking 44 block, that nigga, you want to shout him out?

All that shit cost it, right? The thing, all that. That was an old album, too. You'd see niggas be shouting all their hands out. Every letter cost. Every letter cost. Every letter cost. Not only costs. Every letter costs. Not only that, then you had the vinyl.

Then you had the CD. Then you had, you know, whatever else motherfuckers wanted to do. And you had all the videos, all this. Right now, you can make videos literally for $1,000. If that. We couldn't make videos for under $100,000 back then. So this is the reason why. You look at certain people's albums

And you might look at a little mad again. I'm mad. It might still not be recouped But in our oxy-rally they was recouped is that they overcharged us from the beginning from the beginning They said that yo your video, which is actually fucking five grand back then is the same fucking technology But they said your video was fucking 500 grand so you sitting there you're recouping 450,000 that's crazy the only dude that should not be recouped out of everybody

he's my brother I speak to him every two days it's Busta Rhymes it's the only nigga that motherfucker video was 3 million every video holy shit he was killing it this is crazy bro that's what I think about it all this shit was insane every video. Holy shit. You know, you know, you know,

you know, Buster, Buster never had a whack video. But, first of all, let's just be clear, Buster never had

an okay video. He only had a phenomenal video. Elephant, elephant, elephant. This nigga's this nigga's with Janet like this. What, what, what?

Why are you doing? Why is Janet saying what, what? Fucking busting my brother. Keep going. This is hard. Keep going. Yo, listen. That's the only, but if you think about in all actuality.

So now, this is why I love this generation. Because this generation is producing they own albums, they engineering they own albums, the producer that's producing it is their homeboy, and the director that's directing all they videos is they homeboy. There's actually no need for a record label. At this point, everything, even with me,

and it been this way, including me doing my deal with Massapelle and Def Jam, I've been super in-house, bro. Everything I do, from the visuals, from time to time, the label get there, you'll see a video come out, and you can tell, oh, all right, the label probably put some bread behind that.

But the shit that sell them shows out, that had them fans around the corner, that be the shit that we be doing, the shit that Sell them shows out that had them fans around them around the corner That be the shit that we be doing the shit that we be shooting the little freestyles. I'm doing The the the the um the grassroots of the shit like you know I'm saying like it don't last roots is weird You know I'm saying you'll be the average kid in the hood is thirsty to get with a label not knowing you already creating your own vibe from the street No, I'm telling you I'm not knowing it

You got your your man didn't decide if he want to do the camera shit now y'all shooting videos You have a man he want to make merch now y'all got y'all got clothes over here Yeah, and then you bring all that suddenly that's what make the label Want to sign you Cause you bringing them And they like Oh I can make a million dollars Over them You good already They done created a vibe That you gotta buy You wanna You wanna get in tune with

If you ain't had nothing That was worth getting paid off They wouldn't get in tune with you I'm gonna say one story But remind me to say This is the reason Why the young generation Got this figured out

Okay My first day Signing the Def Jam I walked in the building As I'm walking in the building You know you gotta sign Your name to the shit Before you go upstairs So I you know you got to sign your name to the shit before you go upstairs.

So I'm about to sign my name and the nigga in front of me is Irv Gotti. So Irv Gotti's a cocky motherfucker. So Irv Gotti signs and I turn around. Shout out to Irv.

I fuck with Irv. Yeah, shout out to Irv. That's my nigga, but he's a cocky motherfucker. So I'm sitting there. I'm thinking, Def Jam about to change my life. I'm sitting there.

I'm like, yo. So I'm signing in and he just change my life I'm like yo so I'm signing in and he just smells me or something because he didn't turn around he didn't turn around he was looking face forward and he signed in and just kept going face forward and I signed in he just must have smelled like mm-hmm another nigga head and just turned around And just turned around. I was like, yo. And I was like, what up? And I looked at Irv because, you know, what up, Irv? He was like, about to sign with Def Jam, huh? So I'm like, yeah. He's like, you didn't make it.

First of all, I don would want to yeah you want to hear personal I'm gonna celebrate in front you so cuz I'm like cuz I'm like yo you know I didn't put it you know he's another Queensland so it's like okay

You're going to have to work three times more at Def Jam because now you're at the Yankees. And I swore Irv was a hater, bro. I swear to God, I might have said Irv's a hater.

my label who I'm with. And then let Roc Nation manage me because a lot of them niggas that's on Roc Nation is managed by them. That ain't really the label they signed to.

So in my mind, that's what, you know, and I was kind of close to that, but a few evil forces just didn't allow that to happen. Oh, you know, I made it happen, right?

You know, I got business with all three niggas. Holla at y'all. Holla at y'all next time, y'all. I was telling you to make it happen, bro. I was, I was, I was.

They too rich, they too rich to be. I was in the building. You know what's real? It ain't had nothing to do with neither one of them. It was other shit. I ain't going to tell you. That's good.

No problem. It was other shit that, but it was, you know what I mean, two, three times I pulled up. You know what I mean? They was telling me, you know what I mean? I chopped it up, and it was looking good. Because you know OG Juan from the hood? That was looking good like because you know oh g1 from from from the hood that was just my direct kind you know he from hotel like that was my direct

when it came to rock nation that's who i could talk with like you know i'm saying i knew how i could go out like you know like so now i remember originally it was wayno right now wayno is on everyday struggle i believe yeah okay so what what with that, if that's something you want to talk about? People grew apart. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's one of them. Me and him, that was my brother.

I took my shahada with him. I turned Muslim with him. You know what I'm saying? I had nothing but genuine love for him. Yeah, Muslim. People grew apart. You know what I mean? At the time we came in, like I said,

at the end of the day, I don't have no hard feelings because at the time when we made it happen, it was like impossible to the hood for some shit like that to go down. You know what I'm saying?

You got a nigga from First, a nigga from Lex that then linked up, put something together, and then Nasden signed it. You know what I mean? So that been linked up, put something together and then nosed and signed it. You know what I mean? So that just looked like, whoa, you know what I mean?

So I always salute that situation, but people grow apart. Shouts to Wayne on what he doing right now. And I'm doing what I'm doing, but there's no hard feelings there. We just grew apart. You know what I mean?

Is that like something a part of the industry that fucks with you sometimes? Is it because, see me. Yeah, it super fucks with me.

Because, because before all of this shit, it didn't matter. Right. It was my man. Right. You know what I mean?

Like, it was my guy. Like, we were rock and roll. You know what I mean? Like, it was cool. But,

once you throw in the, the,, I can't pinpoint one thing. But once you throw in everything, it make motherfuckers do this. That was your day-to-day guy. You know what I'm saying? So, of course, you're going to keep it pushing. That's life. You know what I'm saying? But I sit back and think about it like, damn. You know what I'm saying? But I sit back and think about it like,

damn, you know what I'm saying? Like, that was, certain people was really, certain people was really my guy. Like, beyond, like, not just him, but a lot of people I done went through that with. That was my man, like, you know what I mean? And you be so focused on your career

and what you doing, you don't got time to even really mend relationships. You know what I'm saying? You think about it five years later. Like, because you was on your, I got to do this album. I'm doing this. I got this photo shoot. I got this interview.

I got this magazine. I got this movie. And niggas is falling off. You know what I'm saying? And these is people that you truly got love for. You know what I'm saying? And they got love for you. But you on a mission.

You already like, man, I'm in a zone. And this is what I'm saying and they got love for you but you on a mission you you you you already like man I'm on a I'm in a zone and that's what I gotta go do and if you can't get with it then we figure that out later you know what I'm saying like but for right now

I gotta I got shit I got to do I got my fuckers I got the whole damn shit I I got to roll you know what I mean so I do sit back

and think about that you know what I mean it crossed my mind there's so many people that I look, and there's so many people that was great people that was with me, but I realized that, you know, they might not fit at this table. Right. Not to say this is your situation.

Not to say this. Right. But. Not for you. And there's a lot of people that, you know, they come back. And the thing is, here's the greatest thing in the world is to repair the relationship right right as I think we start some 11 years I still look good the let's keep it real is about

amending the relationship right is the thing is no matter where we was at if we could sit back and be like yo I think that's the the beautiful part is when we can sit back and say yo listen

yo y'all you know what boom boom where you at alright come on boom boom and you put it back together when that happens

that's the ultimate friendship that's the ultimate I feel like nothing makes a relationship stronger than falling the fuck off. Right. You know what I'm saying? Because we've all fallen off with people and you never speak to them again. But being able to actually fall off, you feel your way, they feel their way,

and y'all go y'all separate way for however long. But somehow, someway, y'all figure that out. Like, you know what, bro? They come back around. So I feel like that be the genuine shit. If we never speak again, it wasn't genuine. Whatever love I thought you had, you ain't really had that.

But if we double back, something about that was real. Listen, and when you bring it back, the thing about this is even me and Son, me and Son, he had a fallout. I feel like he shot at me in front of me and son we had he had a fallout I feel like he shot at me in front of a whole bunch of people he shouldn't have shot at and

whatever but when we got back together it was just like you know what wrong you know what boom it's just even stronger because when I see y'all I'll be like yeah that's that's that's history right that's that's that's history. That's mad. To me, nigga be like, this is my whole thing. People don't let time come into the situation. A person to judge you, how you act, or for a year being around you. I don't even know you like that. I've been around you for a year. You know what I'm saying?

Them relationships of people that then rocked out 15 years, 20 years, then fought, shot out, had beef, got cool again with each other, baby shower, that be the love, B. That's the real. That be the love. You know what I'm saying? Because you're going to meet a billion. That's one thing I learned in this life. You're going to meet the world.

You know what I'm saying? You're going to meet the the world how many motherfuckers gonna rock with you in the person in the person you are your attitude your mood swings all the shit that the shit you bring to the table whether it's good or bad how many motherfuckers can rock with that for for extended period of time that's the love love, you know what I'm saying? People can pull up two, three years, old boy lit, he in the club every night, the bitches is on him, his bottles, the jewelers is around,

he getting clothes, yeah, you around, let that shit slow up. Corona showed me a lot, because when the COVID dropped, I said, yeah, you know what shows? Yeah, a lot of you niggas

that was heavy on my line, then vanished. My actual guys is around. Like, my heart. But the promoters not calling no more. Yeah, the promoters. Because they didn't get no money with me. What the fuck is that?

Niggas don't care about my well-being. They ain't saying what's going on no more. How you doing? How you doing? You got it? Are you okay? Like, none of that. That's how you do it, man.

Let me say it. Them niggas watch the clubs open, my phone will be ringing again. My phone will be booming. Yeah. The day the clubs open. Yeah. Nah. That's how that go, though.

This shit all artificial. But certain relationships, like with me and you, same vibe. I'm good. Don't worry about it. You want a person when shit be happening to me? Because you know, a lot of shit now in life, we put it on the gram. Right. You know what I'm saying?

Whether it's a death or whatever. That's like our new coping mechanism. Let's post this. You know what I mean? And it's only certain artists that really directly hit me. You know what I'm saying? Styles P pulled up on me. You know what I'm saying?

Him and Shouse 2 Sist. Oswee, him and his wife. I pulled up. He called me. He said, yo, come to the juice bar. I want to give you a hug. Nori hit me direct. I'm just checking on you.

All right? Go. Anything you need. I'm here. So it's certain people that I might have met in the industry But it ain't industry shit Like it's real. I look at bros a big bro like I'm be honest with you and I was trying to avoid this room to the shop first Salo. Salo. Salo. Salo. Salo. Salo. Salo. Shooter, you see that? You see he getting me drunk, right?

Yeah, yeah. You see what's going on? That's where I'm going with you, Shooter. You're proud, man. Shooter, you see what's going on? Oh, he proud right now. So I'm not going to lie. That nigga been sitting right here. When I seen what happened to Shooter, I knew you needed that love.

I knew you needed, I don't want to say attention. No, you talked about it. You needed people to know that, yo, life is going to be all right, but son wanted you to keep going. This is a different son. Right.

He wanted you to keep going and you have to keep going. That helped me. And without you even knowing, that shit extremely helped me, bro. I was in a dog space. I was my best friend, you know what I'm saying? For the last 15 years, we did everything.

You know what I'm saying? I was begging him last year, get your passport. Got his passport. I did a tour in December. Went everywhere. Dubai, Germany, London, Paris, Portugal. I took him around the world, you know what I'm saying? He came home, and that shit happened.

But that helped me extremely. You know what I'm saying? You get a lot of, yo, my condolences. But nigga don't know what you're really going through. So somebody to take their time out of what, I know you a busy dude. I know certain people got a lot of shit going on. So for you to really, you really hit me on some shit.

Nah, I knew we had a relationship, bro. You really hit Bahamas trip. The Bahamas trip. Yeah. That bonding experience, I'm sure it had a lot. I mean, that was a part of it, but even beyond that, I knew who he is. I knew, and the thing about it was I've been through that so much. I got

25 years. I'm going on 22, excuse me. In the rap game. I'm talking about in the streets and just the rap game is one thing but I go through that so much and the thing is we never

understand when it's like our right hand, man. You don't get it, bro. You don't get it. You know what's the part about it that broke my heart? Shooter got shot five times. Yeah. Years ago. You know what I'm saying?

Came to my kid, he got hit. Some niggas hit him in the bridge. Shot some of my son, Piff. His mom sat with him. Ambulance came down. He survived that shit. Walked that off. We went on the whole.

Then years passed. We go on the whole, then years passed. We go on a tour, he came back to the bridge, he had static with a nigga, nigga stabbed him in the back. Oh, shit. He go to Mount Sinai, right there,

and that story, he FaceTimed me, nigga, you know I'm Terminator, I don't die, right? And then the liquor kill him. You know what I'm saying?

He telling me, yo, he called me like, yo, I ain't feeling good. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to go check on him, like, yo, I ain't feeling good. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to go check on him. I'm going to go see what's good.

He went, drove, took himself to the hospital and never left that motherfucker. You know what I mean? Like, 27 years old, a licker. And then I sit back and think of all the times we was drinking the pain away. No matter what we was going through, whether it was a good time. Like, in the hood, you know. If it's a good time, we get in the bottle. If it's a bad time, sound like in the hood you know if it's a good time we getting a bottle because every one of us if you think about nas you know jay-z you think about me i got hit hard

tar every one of us has a ghost that runs with us and it's maybe you didn't start with your ghost so now you have to like end with your god I know that just sounds a little fucking crazy. I just ain't seen him. You know what I'm saying? I didn't see that. This is my heart right here. My brother Freaky. You know what I'm saying? I got ghosts.

I had ghosts. I just didn't see that. Because what broke my heart was the fact that I watched my son get out the hood. He got out the trenches. You know what I'm saying? By the time it all went down, he hadn't got his license, got a BMW truck. I don't got my license yet. Me neither.

I can't drive. 42, nigga. I'm out of line. He got a crib. Shooter was living in Jersey City and he moved his little brother out the hood. They had a little condo in Jersey City. He had the BMW truck. He was chilling. You know what I'm saying?

He finally got to the point. I was begging the nigga for years. Yo, bro, we lit now, nigga. We running around. You can't be sitting in the bridge all night. You know what I'm saying? I used to beg him, and he finally got it. And once he got it, he died.

So that shit kind of, you know what I'm saying? I question that forever. You know what I mean? But I feel like we all like I said you Esco Styles y'all hit me on some

real direct little bro shit like yo I feel I feel what's going on you know what I mean it wasn't no Instagram weirdo it wasn't just that

I tell you, I tell you. That's when you learn something new every day. I tell you what happened. I never would've knew that shit. I met this dude. That's crazy.

This is how he sent me the message. This is a fact. Pharrell's a legend from the beginning. No one knows who Pharrell is. No one knows who Pharrell is. No one knows who the Neptunes is. But his message is

Nori can't close his album without me. He's cocky from the beginning. Son of a player. Listen, he wasn't playing. Pharrell, don't let me close my shit without you. I got you. I got you. I can help with this. Right, he wasn't playing. Don't let me close my shit without you. I got you.

I'm a hoarder and I found... But my wife's a hoarder. So my wife found it. She's going to keep it. I got a white laptop. Like the original laptop. I think you know. We're all Pharrell. I got like 70 a I got a white laptop like the original laptop I think you you know we're all like 74 but they're not from the era that I really really want this is the era I really really want right so right now I got

I'm kidding. Anybody wanna argue with me, I got my knife out ready. Just letting you know. I got my knife out ready. When your niggas ready, I'll let you know.

So anyway, I got the number one in New York City. Everybody's like, yo, this this kid. You gotta meet him. So I'm like, all right, cool. Sound on Sound Studios. The reason so I cool sound on sound studios the reason why I remember sound on sound studios because Biggie was seafood y'all up for a long time now people you know what see who y'all It's fine. It's fine. That mean like you front. You didn't have to say this. No, no, no. You didn't have to say it. So what I meant.

That's the new shit. That's the new shit. That's the new shit. When you front. If you super serious, Sifu Yala. Listen, listen. If you super. Literally you don't know the difference East.

If you super serious, that's Sifu Yala. That's it. But if you super front. If a nigga front. Oh he's Sifu Yala. That's almost like forget about it. It's forget about it. It's a nigga version.

But if he's Sifu. Forget about it. That is a nigga version. But if he's seafood, forget about it. That's the real deal. Seafood is the real deal. All right, we was talking about Biggie. We was talking about him. You was big on seafood, y'all.

You was big on seafood, y'all. Okay, so this is, so Biggie, right? You thought he was that sound on Bad Boy. Bad Boy is on 44th so he really kind of mixed his records at 144th he had the hitmen and all them dudes mixing his but when he laid his vocals he was at a joint called sound on sound we good everything's good that's my man diego we're going to show you footage of you Diego what's up my boy he was talking about it earlier remember

oh that was true so sound on sound is where Biggie was actually laying his vocals right and the crazy thing about sound on sound was next door to sound on sound was a white strip club

so Big was so much of a legend big used to lay his bro sisters were white strippers and these chicks had no rhythm twerking wasn't involved back then like so they were just doing shit like this it It was terrible, right? But it was only me and Big. That's how I met the Neptunes. Because the Neptunes produced... I want to be clear. Listen, I want to say this in case anybody else don't know this.

The Neptunes actually produced for people before me. They produced for Bad Boy. They produced for Mase. Why you girl keep looking at me? Why you girl standing there? He did Rex and the Facts. Okay, I was going there bro.

That's old. Rex and the Facts? Don't start a chant. Oh, no, no, no, no, I want to big up. Rex and the Facts, that's his ghost producing thing. Yeah. I'm twisted. So, and then he did, and then, Brexton FX. That's his ghost producing thing. Don't twist it. Oh, these are true.

And then he did. We love you, bro. We love you, Dave. We got your back. We got your back. He's getting your flowers today. Now you're getting your flowers. That's it.

So when he met me, he goes, this is exact words to me. No one listens to me. The first one who listens to me is going to go number one. So I look and he was tight since back then. He had a tight shit. His clothes was tight.

But had he? No, not yet. I didn't hear it yet. And then his chain was like that. It felt like somebody was holding him back. And then his chain was like this. It felt like somebody was holding him back. It's a real black line. So then he goes, you ready?

I'm like, I'm ready. First of all, he quoted me Blood Money, word for word, the first verse. This is the most gangsterish song I've ever made, right? And then after he quotes, after he quotes the verse to me,

he goes, I just want you to know I don't have a thug bone in my body. And I was just like, how are you going to quote the most gangster verse of me? Like, I almost ripped up on you. He said, I don't have a thug bone in my body, which made me say this is a real guy, right? So he plays me one beat, Dave. I want to go in the booth immediately. This is crazy. I've never heard no shit like this.

Then he plays me the second beat. I've never heard no shit like this. But I got to be cool. It's like when you want to buy an apartment and the realtor, you don't want the realtor to really know you want this shit. Yo, you all right, boom.

So I'm like, all right, cool. Let me get this. He's like, yo, so do me a favor. And I got the number one record in New York City. I don't have the number one record in the world. It's called N-O-R-E. Know how he stands for niggas on the street? So he says, if I give you this, I don't want you to listen to the third beat

until you get to Miami. All right, cool. I agree to it this is the CD days so he gives me the shit the first two songs I write those on the way to the airport

third song it took me everything in the world not for me to play right so I get to the Kent Hotel anybody who stays at the Kent Hotel

uses a file motherfucker now now I'm being honest it's not there but it's now no no no

now if you stay at the Kent Hotel you'll file because there's hookers everywhere but back then it's my first it's my first

or second time in Miami remember the first remember days remember days because they be going they be going and remember remember days at this time It's a little piece. Remember days. It's okay. Remember days. It's okay. Because they be going. They be going.

And remember, remember days. At this time, the firm invited me to Miami and they never gave me that ticket. So now I'm out here. I'm out here. This guy gives me, so I'm at the bar

and the girl is like, yo, she's talking to me. I was like, man. And then, I thought I was mad cute at that time. Like, I really did. And I still do to this day. But she said, do you want to party?

And I said, oh, shit. I got to pay. Oh, no. Let me relax. I got to relax. That's the I got to pay question. Yeah, you want to party? I got to pay.

I said, holy moly guacamole, not the y'all. Not the y'all. Oh, she meant it also means if you want some... It could have meant that, too. I wasn't involved back then. So back then, I just thought it was... No, she charged him. Oh, she charged him, yeah.

So I go upstairs. I go upstairs, Dave. And he goes, so I play the CD. And then she goes, you found Manuel Noriega? That was on the beat already. I had never heard a producer ever do that. With the helicopters. And then the helicopters.

And I was like, I looked around. I said, oh, shit. So I wrote the whole rhyme together. And here's the crazy thing. The what what's was never supposed to be on the record. That's how to punch in. But you got the girls to sing what, what. No, that's not true.

What, what. That's not true. Let me tell you the truth. What was that about? Come on. She's so loud. She's so loud. They got you in your bones.

You got them on a lot of eating. You're in a complete project. I'm giving you the, I don't have it. That's demon. Oh, you got them on a lot of eating right now. You're talking about

the hamburger. I'm talking about the time when you put the seasoning. I'm with you. So when he, first off, this is the only thing when Pharrell, by the way, he's not Pharrell. He's just a guy. He's Prince, kind of. No, at the time. He's just a guy.

He had no name. No, they just was Neptunes. So I called them both. I think they both had one phone in my mind just let it roll they had one phone together just fuck just let me roll with it I don't think it's the truth at all but fuck it so come on come on bro and you have the subway sandwich so I'm activated now he gets's going on? The Subway sandwiches. He got the Subway sandwiches and gloves. So anyway, so I called him.

I said, yo, I got one change. He said, what's the one change? I said, I don't want the girl to say, yeah, because she was saying, yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, I want her to say, what, what, what? So he said, bet. So I went to White Track Studios track studios 48th Street 8th Avenue I know you just quoted in there right? So I went there

And by the way, he said yo, I'm gonna go use the bathroom It was like I laid the whole track in eight minutes Beginning because you got to remember I had to wait for the intro to intro I couldn't cut it off back then back, you, right now, I could be like, fuck the intro. Just give me straight. But I couldn't cut the intro. So I did the whole thing straight. And then when I came back, him and Chad Hugo was talking to each other like,

that hook is the hook. Because that's how I laid bars back then. Whoa, whoa, what? Every song, anybody who recorded me in 1997 has that same exact hook. That's a fact. That's crazy. Pharrell and Chad Hugo was the only person to say, that is a hook. That's deep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It stays. Keep that part in. That's the next one, man. And have you ever worked with them? I met Pharrell. Okay. We acquainted, but we ain't locked in yet. Oh, I'm going to hook that up.

Yeah, that's neat. I'm going to hook that up because... That's like, I ain't worked with him. I've worked with everybody. I've been kind of, and when I met him, I was like, you already like, you know, he like, let's do it.

But you know, he said it on some fly, you know. You deserve it. You deserve that. Listen, you got to go through the chronicles of me

and Quincy Jones because he's Quincy Jones. Right, right. When I met him, I knew the boss. Listen, like, he's a little weird,

but mad cool. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to be honest with you. If you pay attention to the story, he's always been weird. It's not something because of his achievements. Right. He's been weird from the beginning, but he can tap into a thug.

Like, his first shit he quoted me was bloody money. This is disrespectful. This has no hook to it. This has, this, first off,

the first verse is 26 bars. Right. The second is 32. How the fuck? How you got to be like that? Like, this is terrible.

First off, I didn't even know I was recording a song when I laid that. Like, I was just like, no one came to the studio. Capone didn't come,, I didn't even know I was recording a song when I laid that. Like, I was just like, no one came to the studio. Capone didn't come. Traz didn't come.

That's how Blood Money got admitted. This is real shit. I was just like, all right, fuck it, put on the beat. And I just went in. And everybody, all the blood niggas was around like, blood! Blood! Holy shit. And I was really talking about money, nigga.

Like, yo. Yo. Yo. Niggas was like, what? That's all he needed. Yo, like, listen. By the way, if you look at the war report. That nigga might have been in that session. If you look at the war report. So we did blood money. One of my favorite joints.

I can't stop the blood niggas from coming to the show. Who did that beat? EZ-LP. He did Sometimes as well. Oh, man. EZ-LP.

Yeah. Did the diastasis. Yeah. So, all right, my bad. I apologize. The bloods went crazy. Yeah, they went crazy.

I ain't gonna lie. I apologize. The Bloods went crazy. Yeah, they went crazy. I ain't going to lie. I'm proud of New York City because the reason why I'm proud of New York City is at first when I thought about gangs coming to New York City and gangs that was originated in L.A., I somewhat frowned upon it. I somewhat was like,

why? But then as I continued to live, I said, we're all going to be one place at the end of the day. I remember at one point,

I could never go to Queensbridge and see anybody from left rack. I could never go to left rack and see anybody from Left Rack. I could never go to Left Rack and see anybody from Queensbridge. Now, I can't stop seeing it. When I go to fucking Queensbridge, it's Left Rack people there. I'm like, Jesus, we need a pop of cheese.

And then when I go, and the thing is, I have to look at it like that was me and Pone shit. At the end of the day, they would shout me and Lakey the Kid before that, the two left frat Queensbridge dudes. But who made it? Solidary, and I got to big them up for being the first, but who made it? The shit was me and Pone. And as we keep migrating we'll always we'll always be that

so as New York adapted I thought to myself LA adapted hip hop they don't they don't go to hip hop and say you know what

well this shit originated in New York so why can't our gang dudes or that's what you bang They don't go to hip-hop and say, you know what? Well, this shit originated in New York. So why can't our gang dudes, or that's what you banging? You banging Crip? You banging Blood? I feel like that shit is just black culture, bro. I like that.

That's black culture. I like that. Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere, and I'm going to take it further than that, is minority culture. Because I feel like anywhere, any city, you go to Atlanta, they done went up.

There's billions. It's 420 right now, y'all. I'm sorry. 420. Exactly 420. Exactly 420. But any,

any, any city that you think of, once you tap into the ghetto of that city, somebody then took rap and made a way from Houston to Chicago to Memphis, L.A., everywhere. New York, every borough in New York, every Jersey, everywhere. I feel like that's a way out, bro. And the fact that the people before us, like y'all, and the people before y'all, you know what I'm saying? They made it where it became like, all right, I might can't play ball.

I might can't go dunk on people and cross people over and do all this or whatever. But I can rap. And I know how to throw. I can throw some shit on. And me and all my guys is flying. You know what I'm saying? So that just gave a different vibe. And it was just another way out.

And then once the world got a hold of it, it was over. Because you got to remember, everybody in the suburbs want to be in the hood. If they can't get there, the hood attracts them. They don't know about it. You know what I'm saying? Like, they ain't around that. You know what I'm saying? The kids in the hood want to get out that shit.

But the kids in the suburbs is attracted to it. Like, oh, that's where it's at. Like, they don't know what's going on. So once you equate that to the music, it's the same shit. The suburbs going rap. You know what I'm saying? They watching what's going on in the hood and going adapt to it, going to be influenced by it, and going now it's a worldwide thing. It ain't just a hood thing.

It ain't just a black thing. Now white people rap. Spanish people rap. Filipinos rap Alaskan niggas is rapping Chinese a now rappers like it's beyond every just You was coming up. It was the hood Listen, I'm gonna sign the dolphin right now. I'm signing I'm gonna see this nigga come by

Y'all at, y'all. When you used to rap, when you was rapping. Keep going, keep going. I'm gonna wash my hands. When Noreen used to rap, I don't think the world was rapping. But I know for a fact today, when East is rapping, every culture in the world is rapping. Australian, Chinese. I'm gonna say something. Yo, yo, listen.

Hazardous sounds, we know we love them. When we say something stupid, you cut his mic off. I'm 100% gonna do that. That's all I'm saying. Can I smoke a bogey right now? Hell no, man. I gotta ask. They tell me I'm gonna say something stupid.

That's not a stokey. But I'm just saying, with Stokey, I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid.

I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say something stupid. I'm gonna say? No. I don't know, man. I got to ask. They said I'm going to say something. That's not a stokey. But I'm just saying, where Slam was going up, coming up in the game, 100% every culture in the world was not rapping. Right now, East is rapping. I know for a fact, Australia, they're rapping. China, you name it, all for a fact Australia they're rapping China

all over the world you name it all over the world they're rapping I just watched some shit last night I was on live with Rayquan it was the 25th anniversary I saw that I saw that I saw that shouts to Ray shouts to the chef I only built for Q-man shouts to the chef shouts to the whole world but I did even know if I can remember. Shouts to the chef. Shouts to the whole world. But I tapped in with him, and then I watched him and Meth talk. And Meth said the realest shit ever. They pushed weed to the forefront.

You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't even think about that. That's why weed is so accepted now amongst rappers. That's why Wiz Khalifa or all these artists that come out heavily weed influenced or every video was heavy weed. That's why they can prosper because of Mef, Redman, all them Cypress Hale. Snoop.

Snoop. All these artists that was smoking heavily and every time you see them, they was smoking. They made it cool. So they made the shit cool. I feel like they don't get enough. Now you got industries getting billions of dollars off weed and they tapping into rap.

Remember Redman? Redman had How to Roll a Blunt. He's teaching us How to Roll a Blunt. They got the rappers promoting this shit. That's what make the weed hot. If the rappers are smoking your weed... Wait, hold on. I was handing you this back.

Did you give me this? Because you know I'm going to take it. I'm a real nigga. I'm going to take it and I'm going to smoke it. I'm going to get it. That's you right there. That's you. So look, but here's the crazy shit.

But go ahead, go ahead. He did my first, second video as a solo artist. I was running down on the field.

We were pulling up on him. That's my nigga. So I was with Chris Robb. He gave me a role in a movie called Beats. It's on Netflix now. I played a role with a dude named Mister. I ran a pool hall. It was starring Anthony Anderson. So that was ill to me. I'm like, damn, my first movie. I'm ran a pool hall. It was starring Anthony Anderson.

So that was ill to me. I'm like, damn, my first movie, I'm with a real... I'm going to go watch this. He was in life. He was in some classic shit. I'm like, you know what I'm saying? Anthony Anderson. And all my scenes was with him.

You know what I mean? So he really coached me through that and gave me a lot of game as far as the acting went. We shot that in Chicago. Bully was out there with me. Bully, how long was I out there? Like a week? A good eight days. Like eight days we shot that in Chicago.

In Chicago? Yeah, in Chicago. In the hood. Was it cold? We was in little Dirk hood. We was in Englewood. That was hot. Middle of summer.

So I'm taking pictures in the hood. That's when niggas die. The rappers is hitting me. G Herbo hit me in Dirk. They like, what you doing over there? I'm like, man, I'm doing a movie. Like, nigga got in the hood. That's when niggas die. The rappers is hitting me. G Herbo hit me and Dirk, they like, what you doing over there? I'm like,

man, I'm doing a movie. Like, nigga got in a trailer. Why you outside chilling like you chilling? We had some Chicago niggas with us.

It was good. But, so I shot that with him. That came out. Matter of fact, before that came out, he reached out. Maybe like six months

after we got done filming that he was like yo i'm doing a wu-tang um like a series like you know i'm saying how would you how you feel playing meth what what you mean how i feel let's do that like he's like yeah i want you you see like you won't have to audition because i want you know i want to see what you're going to do i'm like so, so I had to like, he always going to make you take it more serious than. It is. Because I knew it. Like, just him saying that to me, I knew he had me locked in already.

But he was still on some like, you got to come on. So I auditioned two times. Pulled up. It was two chicks in there the first time I went. They just had me in a room with a camera. I just had to say certain lines. They just wanted to see how I looked saying shit.

Then the next audition, Chris was in the room. You know what I'm saying? He wanted me to do like basically the same shit. And then I got the role. And then maybe like a week or two after that.

Okay, excuse me. He told you you got the role right then and there when you was performing? Two days later, I found out. They was like, you locked her. Okay. And they sent her, my man,

they sent him the location where we had to go and stand out. Oh, so they just booked you and said you were going to... It was locked. I got the role. So there's no talking to Method Man at all? No, we went, they gave us the date to go get the, like, to do the reading.

You know, whenever you do it, you got to do, like, everybody sit at a table and you all read your lines. Like, every actor, like, you all just, we just go through the, like, to do the reading, you know, whenever you do it, you got to do, like, everybody sit at a table. And you all read your lines. Like, every actor, like, we just go through the book. Maybe three or four days before we did that, I got with Meth. I went out there, chopped it up with him. When did you meet Meth?

Don't tell me there's Staten Island Ferry. There's Staten Island Ferry. It wasn't a ferry. It wasn't a ferry. You know what's crazy? When I met Meth, Meth was like, what's crazy? When I met Meph, Meph was like, it's crazy. The day I met him, he was kind of like, he just pulled up to see me for a second because he was working out. So I could tell.

He's definitely working out right now. He's on that. I could tell he just left the gym. He was like, yo, I ain't going to front. He told me he was out here. I want to come meet you. So that's how I first met him. But he was like, yo, I ain't going front. He told me he was out here. I want to come meet you. So that's how I first met him. But he was like, yo, kill that shit. Any questions you got about it, let me know.

I'm going to get back to this workout. It was some quick shit. Then after that, we vibed. We smoked. All right, let's keep it real. So that first meeting was a little shaky. It was like... Shaky, willy, and baffling.

Because at the end of the day, you got to think about it. I'm being honest. I'm reading between you right now. If you mean the nigga that's you wasn't feeling that first i was like you wasn't feeling that i was you know what it was i was just excited to meet him but it was quick but he's like it wasn't he it wasn't like the yo each what up it was just like all right baby you know i'm saying it was a real son isn't really real heard you was over here is there a third is there a record so now we're shopping it up we're talking and then once i got is it really real? Herjie was over here. He's down at third. But I got his map, so now we're shopping it up.

We talking. And then once I got on the set, he pulled up on me. We smoked, we vibed. And then me and, we locked that. You know what I'm saying? I had a show in New York.

He pulled up, performed with me. We locked, from that point on, me and Mav, he was like, yo, you killed that shit. He said,

He picked you? It was like he stamped it. Like Chris Robbins was like, yo, he should play you. And he was like, yeah, go ahead. Now, how hard is that?

And then when I went to secure the flight they said listen well you can't bring a toothpick with you. Not a toothpick? What kind of flight is this? You can't bring nothing? Listen, this flight...

Like, yo. I got like 12 years on you. He's supposed to do that. He didn't know that. He didn't know we were together. But that's how we're going to get. That's what makes it fire. Yeah. He's supposed to do that. He didn't know that. He didn't know we were together. But that's how we're going to get through. That's what makes the fire. Listen, we just made it up right now.

That's what we just did. We made up your retirement plan, nigga. It's all good. It's all good. It's clear. Cabone did not pick up. That's what makes it fire. Let's be clear.

Let's be clear. What do you think? All right. Yo, what happens to this? Fuck right. Yo, what happens is this. What? Fuck it. Nah, this is one of my homies that came home for a long time ago. All right, can you, can you, can you, yeah, yeah.

Just type it, bro. With your Subway fucking glasses on. Subway sandwiches glasses. Yo, Dave East. I'm going to be honest, bro. I worry about you a lot because of your old soul. Because of the fact that you keep it so real.

And I'm going to be honest, sometimes I be wanting you to not keep it so real. Right. Because I be wanting you to protect yourself a little more. Meaning,

like for instance, for Shooter room I wanted you to just go there and just break out but when I understood I understand everything you're different I understood everything you did couldn't leave them saying yeah and that that's my biggest fight. Like, the world look at me like I'm lit. This is how I ain't buying. I got this potential, and you can be this, that. I'm from the hood, bro. Like, so I get all that, and I want to do all that, but certain shit is hard to, you go back,

to this day, you go back to left front. You know what I'm saying? So, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Queensborough's too. You know what I'm saying? You sliding through, you know what I'm saying? When you was at your peak, you was coming through. Now, like, it don't matter. You know what I'm saying?

Let me give you some jewels. If I could give you some jewels. Right. I remember it was a guy named, his name was, everybody think Uncle Wise and Fat Wise is the same person. That's not the truth. Uncle Wise is from South Jamaica. Fat Wise is from Left Rat. And Fat Wise

came to me one day and said, yo, I know you love the hood. Every time I used to come back to the hood, he used to say, yo, don't ever park your cars on the app. Park it around the corner. Drive through on a bike or walk through.

Or pull up on foot. And it taught me a lot because no one got shot when I did that. Because the thing is, when you try, sometimes when you pull up and you're just trying to show brothers, this is the next level of life. They take it as

he's in front of us. Oh no, he passed us. There's a lot of times, big bro, I come through the hood with no jewelry on. And you got 50% of niggas that say, oh, he over there, he ain't wearing his jewelry. But at the end of the day,

why I'm going to be waiting to stink in front of pit bulls? For what? Like, with me, it's like everything has a time, has an occasion. So if I'm in a club with a million rappers, everybody's shining, I'm going to shine too. But if I'm on the block with niggas that's starving, they don't know what's going on, like how they're going to get their next meal. I'm going to come pull up with a $100,000 chain or $100,000 watch

in front of you, smoking a blunt with you, passing a blunt, you looking at my watch, my ring. I'm fronting on you. Even if in my mind I'm not, I am. You are not. I am, though. That's how they going to know. But I am. At the end of the day, I am.'re not. I am. You are not. I am, though. That's how they're going to know. But I am.

At the end of the day, I am. Regardless of how I feel. He's right, too. I am. At the end of the day, why you could have came through regular, bro? Yep. You already pulled up in the big joint. That's my point.

You hopped down, dripping. That's my point. You coochied down. You got whatever. You might have a whatever. I guess my point is, if that is your is, I don't think that's his fault. No, because at the end of the day, these are people I grew up with.

They don't get that. These are people I grew up with. These are the builders I used to come through dead broke, starving. So why can't I go back through there chilling? But I know the difference of coming back through as a rapper or coming back through regular. You know what I'm saying?

That shit bothering niggas if you think so or not. Half of the time you see them videos in the hood. See, you got to remember, I'm running around. I did the security thing, but I run around with my friends. I don't got a fucking big 300 pound nigga on the corner. Nah, it be the guys with me. My man's like, they gon' rock and roll.

However it go. Guns, fists, my friends gon' do that. That don't bother me, but at the same time, I'm not gon' make myself a target. I'm already a target. I'm 6'5", light skin, tattoos. As soon as I pull up, they're like, oh, that's Eesh. I'm easily

recognizable any fucking way I go. Definitely like a Dominican drug dealer. Wherever you go, it's a fact. It's a fact. You're like, you're a Fast and Furious 417. Big bro, if I got a buck on me in jewelry, I'm going to play. To a nigga that's starving, to a nigga that don't care. You know what I'm saying? I'd rather catch a temperature without all that on me to see how you really feel. Because if you feel that way for real, you're going to do it to me without it on me. You're going to try to, you're going to get with me anyway.

But this shit is going to make you, oh, nah, let's do that. Let's make a movie real quick. That boy out here. One of the dangerous is calm. God, know where you at. Know your environment. Because when you put a dude from Brooklyn or a dude from Queens or a dude. Ice-T.

I feel like people that smoke them... Listen. Don't do the thing. I feel like people that smoke them don't know. I gotta be better. Sonny's the last person I know that smokes. All right, that's it, bro. I don't know anybody else.

Take a picture. Them shits is outdated. I'm older than everybody here. I'm older than everybody here. Yeah, but hold on, hold on. But you got a new project coming out. Yeah. Let's be clear before we get up out of here.

This is facts. What's up with this new project? Let's talk about this. Karma 3. Part 3? I thought Part 1 and Part 2, you was going to leave Karma 3. Part 3? I thought part 1 and part 2 you was going to

leave Karma alone. Nah, I'm still doing that. But this is the actual first album. This is the actual album. This, now, this is not the mixtape. It's not a mixtape.

I let, um, one or two DJs DJ Holiday hosted it on some, on some street. Some mixtape shit. Uh-huh.

But, after I dropped Survival, I came back. We did the Overseas tour. Came back to New York. I was locked in before I went over there. I already had music. But then I was recording. I was just, the vibe of the music, I was like, yo, this shit feel like an album.

You know what I'm saying? I got Popcon on it from Jamaica. Shouts to PopCon. The Jamaican Rasta. He shout out to the police. We're out of respect, bruh. I got A Boogie on it. Shouts to the Bronx.

Shouts to High Bridge. I got Young Dolph on it. Shouts to Memphis. You know what I'm saying? I got Doughboy on it. Shouts to Cleveland. I got Mary J. Blige on it. Trey Songz on it.

You know what I'm saying? There's a couple artists on the projects that just made me feel like this shit is an album. It's saying that this is beyond a mixtape or me putting it out as a mixtape. August 14th, you know what I'm saying? I dropped a few videos off the shit already. But there's 15 records on there. A lot of in-house production. I got some outside production. I got DJ Paul from 3-6 Mafia on there.

A couple of producers on there. Who? Mike and Keys from L.A. He did a few of my records. I linked with them. These are producers, we told him. Yeah, these are producers. How about the features?

Features, Mary, A Boogie, Young Dolph, Trey, Doughboy. Why are niggas not clapping already? Benny the Butcher. You good? Oh, we're losing. Me and Benny the Butcher going back and forth. I know everybody is... Shout out to the whole Griselda movement. I love them niggas, but I wanted one... Because you know, like I was just saying earlier,

I'm into the competition of this shit, the sport. So let me stop you right there. Everybody got chains and jewelry. What's up? Let's rap. I'll be on that bag. The nigga that everybody say is the hottest or the new, I be wanting to spar with him. I don't want no hook.

I don't want to make a scene with you. Let me stop you right there. The rumor is at some point Stephen Victor used to work for Def Jam. Stephen Victor was my, that's my boy. He was my main. This is his movie my main, you know what I'm saying? Shouts to, shouts to, shouts to Victor. Then Stephen Victor left Def Jam. Got a part of it and then took off with Pop Smoke.

With Pop Smoke. And the word was on the street was he was trying to put Pop Smoke directly against you. This is the word on the street. Okay. You could answer it whatever the word on the street. Okay. You can answer it whatever the way you want to. Right. The word on the street was

he wanted to have Pop Smoke directly against you to get you out of there. Right. That's the word on the street. Can't get me out of there. Yeah. I'm doing better than this shit.

Yeah. I'm too a part of this shit. Like, yeah, how you gonna get me out of there? You gonna make another wave? How you gonna pack up what I'm doing? No, no, no, no.

What I mean, I'm not talking about him in particular. I'm talking about the labels. The labels was, because didn't Steve and Victor work for them? I don't want to be disrespectful, but fuck the labels, bro. Yeah. Real shit. Like, they don't know what's going on. They don't come to no block.

They don't come to no projects. They don't come to no block. They don't come to no project. They don't come to no studio. When you deal with the label, you got to go to the label. They don't come outside where you could, like me, being signed to Def Jam. They could do what they want with me outside somewhere, wherever I be at. All they going to do is post. Damn. Rest in peace.

Rest in peace or free Dave East or however, whatever, Bash. That's all they're going to do is post. Damn. Rest in peace. Rest in peace or free Dave East or however, whatever, Bash. That's all they're going to do. That's it. But they ain't got nobody in the field that's running. Like, y'all had street teams and shit from the label that might have ran around with niggas. Street niggas, but they still was creating. I was like, fuck it. I hired everybody.

Oh, that's out there. I hired a nigga named Troy Alvon. Niggas don't be around, bro. And that's what make them weary of me, or be like, oh, I don't know, because I pull up with a hundred hood niggas. 10 Bloods, 10 Crips. What's up? What's going on with my tape?

When is this dropping? So all that, you know what I'm saying? So I get it. They not into the aggression or the actual street person they answer the street music that's why he loves Takashi fucking right but what would happen if in your opinion if you think cuz this is the rumor rumor is Steven Victor which was like somebody helped sign you is that correct now I got I signed with Def Jam and then i was supposed to do a management

deal with him and peter bitten blender from from mass appeal okay and that didn't work out so let me just let me explain to you that he left them and then signed pop smoking and pop smoke and that was the whole thing they was they was trying to actually compare pop smoke to Dave East. 100% different artists. Both Crip. 100% different people. 100% different artists. He got a wave he run with. I'm talking.

I'm actually saying shit you could... You know what I'm saying? You could... I love Pop. That was my boy. Yeah. It was... He got shit you... Everybody can Pop. That was my boy. Yeah. It was champ. He got shit you, everybody can remember.

It was, he had a vibe New York ain't seen in forever. He came with it. You know what I'm saying? Like, he just had a whole vibe. His whole wave was fire. He would have been a fucking rock star if that shit didn't happen. You know what I'm saying? Like, he'd have been out of here.

I'm rapping. Like, really, really rapping. Paying attention to every ball in my 16. Spitting. I'm trying to keep up with Nas and these niggas. You and kissing them. That's when I'm writing a rhyme or not

writing a rhyme or just... I'm thinking of y'all. How y'all was approaching shit. So I'm like, I gotta go in. I don't have a dance. Did you hear the rumor of Stephen Victor being at Def Jam? Stephen Victor, you remember Stephen Victor was at Def Jam. He was at, when I played Survival for Def Jam,

he was there. He was right there. That was right before he left. So did you hear the rumor of when Stephen Victor left Def Jam? That was his purpose. It wasn't a rumor. He got out of there.

He got out of there. And right across the street from Def Jam. That was his purpose. It wasn't a rumor. He got out of there. He got out of there. And right across the street from Def Jam, it was the Pop Smoke's first, the first Meet the Woo shit. It was a billboard. So what I'm trying to tell you is, the rumor was. He left,

Stephen Victor left Def Jam and then put a flyer for his next, for the artists he had across the street. So any artist that walked into Def Jam, you saw Pop Smoke on a billboard across the street from him. I saw this nigga, Stephen Victor. I was like, yo, nigga.

I like that shit, though. I'm going to go up. However it go, I'm going up on you niggas. But you understand that that's what it was for New York. Like, I'm your older brother. I'm the person that actually seen that. Right. So when I seen it, that was the actual play.

Right. Was when it was Nas, it was against Biggie. Right. And this era was Dave East against Pop. But what they didn't know, not to cut you off, me and Pop Smoke was cool. That's my guy. Man, that nigga was cool to the God. That's what none of us know.

So what niggas didn't know- But that wasn't y'all play. The play was put it together. Me and that nigga was, put it this way, he was so ill. I be in Quad, right? Or I be in Premier, that's all the same building. If I'd be in quad, you know, it's mad studios in that building. 14, 16.

You know what I'm saying? That's, what's that, 732, 7th? You know what I'm saying? Like, anytime I'd be in the studio, and be all my niggas, I'd be in the booth rapping and shit. Nigga would tap me on my shoulder. I don't know who it would be. It'd be Pop Smoke. By himself. He'd pull up

Dolo. He was like, yo, Loco, come upstairs. My niggas will get out. I heard you was in here. And we did this for a month straight. You know what I'm saying? Me and that nigga really caught a real vibe. You know what I'm saying? I fucked with him. He was so humble,

but at the same time, so confident. Like, that was just, I was like, oh, it's a Brooklyn nigga. Like, this nigga. He believed. He knew he was that nigga, but still, like, trying to learn or knew. Like, same way I be. I could be lit and be like, nigga, I'm Dave. I'm like, I know who I be around.

I know the niggas that did what they did that's real legends. Like, I'm lit in my own mind. Y'all niggas is lit for real, like, in real life. Like, in my own mind, or to my niggas, yeah, I done did what I did. Y'all niggas been lit for fucking decades. Nigga, ain't no fucking with that. Can't bother that. So when you catch a young nigga that's confident enough to be a star

but humble enough to respect what was before him, it's special. You know what I'm saying? Pop Smoke was one of them niggas that was like that. You know what I'm saying? He was special, bro. The nigga respected what came before him, but he had his own shit. Like, I'm lit. Like, fuck anything.

I'm out of here. You know what I mean? It's unfortunate the bullshit happened to niggas. You know what I'm saying? All right. Rest in peace, cuzzo. Rest in peace. Yeah, I pretty much can't say anything after that.
