Don't ever call me daddy again, man.
You better relax.
But this is cherry.
In case you don't understand, this is cherry.
You understand?
Cherry, cherry Colorado.
Cherry pick, Dory. Cherry pick. Cherry pick. Did this is cherry. You understand? Cherry Colorado.
Cherry picked, Dory.
Cherry picked.
Did you understand that?
You know what I mean?
It's cherry picked.
Cherry Colorado.
And it smells amazing.
Can you open it, y'all?
By opening, y'all?
Go ahead.
So, these are the brothers.
They're on cherry. They brought it together. So, I'm going brothers, their own cherry.
They brought it together.
So, I'm going to ask you guys a question.
Now, it's federally, what is that called?
Almost, yeah.
Well, they're trying to decriminalize it.
Can we explain what does that mean?
So, decriminalization is basically saying that... Do we have the mic?
I don't feel like the mic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So decriminalization is basically saying
that we're not gonna prosecute you for marijuana crimes.
However, there's still a little bit of a long way to go.
Like, they gotta pass it.
They truly have to pass it.
So it's been approved, but now it's gotta be passed.
Approved by the House?
By the House and the Senate.
By the big boys. It has to pass. It has to pass House? By the House. Right. And the Senate. By the big boys.
It has to pass.
It has to pass.
Yeah, it has to pass.
Right.
So it's a step forward.
And then each individual state decides after that, right? They can legislate it to be different, not approve it, but on the federal level.
No, that would be huge.
That would be a game changer.
Does it mean it's going to be federally legal across state lines?
No.
Long way to go still.
It's a tax issue. Right. Does it mean it's going to be federally legal across state lines? No. Long way to go still. So in Colorado, that means they still could run up on your dispensary in Colorado?
No.
Because of the feds.
Well, federally.
Federal.
Not statewide.
Not statewide, no.
Have you guys ever had that problem?
No.
Yeah, let's not bring that up.
Leave my people alone.
I think it's too far.
It's too far of a movement.
The movement's too far to go back.
So like at one time,
in 2014,
I started in 2008,
legally, medically,
in Colorado,
but I think like back then in 2012
and stuff, we were nervous,
but now
it's 2020 and the industry is gone past that point. You're the only guy I don't know that
smokes weed actually. I just like to smoke weed. What can we do to get you to cross over to the Devils?
Nah man. Nah that's my ice to serve. You You give him a bunch of anxiety.
Nothing.
And a little later, bro.
A little later in life.
Have a rip, maybe?
No, no, no, no.
But if you're going to cross over, this is the best thing.
Absolutely.
If I'm going to smoke, I'm going to smoke cherry stuff. And Super Thug OG.
Did you see the hood therapy when we do
twin sneakers?
I did see that.
I thought that
that was made for TV.
That's real?
Yeah, that's real.
No, it's made for TV.
Made for TV real.
Continue, continue
where you're going with it.
Continue.
I feel like,
where's twin?
Twin.
I need to look at
your sneakers right now.

What cycle are you on right now?
Let's just be honest. I mean, I let maybe more of her. I mean, shit. I don't know. I feel like really what cycle are you on right now? Let's just be honest.
I mean, I let the work speak for itself.
Let me big up to my brother Deuce.
My brother Deuce has been here
last year on this shit.
But this year,
he opened up his own
compound store.
Make some fucking noise. Yeah!
I talk about him
and I brag about him
when he's not around,
but I got to brag about him
and talk about him
when he is around
because that's what makes
us real people
do something very proud
of you, bro.
We all are, bro.
I'm really,
I'm proud of you. I really We all are, bro. I'm really proud of you.
I really...
Make some more noise.
Yeah!
But let's take it back to Cherry right now.

Yeah, Queen's born. Queen's born. So y'all are friends to bring us. Queen's born. Yeah, Queen's born.
Queen's born.
So y'all friends to bring us to another level.
My purpose was like, you know what?
Let's create our own thing.
But that was something that you guys, you guys came.
We spoke.
And you guys applied that.
And let me just tell you something.
We could have said anything with Superbawd Thug on you.
That's right.
Y'all took your time with me,
and y'all said, no, I want you to be happy.
I mean, you smoked like 25 strains.
You're like...
He was happy after that, for sure.
He's like, I don't even know what I want anymore.
So just jumping in there.
Go ahead.
Thanks for inviting us.
Fuck 2020.
Let's go towards 21.
Right.
The strain is dropping to 21.
But I'm going to apologize.
Why?
We knew it took a long time.
No.
Okay.
But I'm going to apologize.
It took time.
Exactly.
Ben said 30 days from seed to create it to harvest.
It takes like 90 days.
But I love the fact that y'all guys took out time.
Yeah.
This is the one and only.
Wow.
So it starts here.
Wow.
It's yours.
It's here.
It's your family, right?
No one has it.
No one has it.
It has.
We're picking up everything right yeah
because i'm apologizing because you know we could have done what everybody else does all right i'm
not shitting on anybody's other brands right much success everybody right but we truly are with you
right with this whole crew here we grow it it. We made it. He made it.
He created it. Your taste buds. The crew's taste buds.
And I think for me,
it's like little did you know.
And you pulled me to the side.
You was like, which brand are you?
He's like, I was such a
fan of you. You don't know that.
I respected you.
I listened to you in my little car
bumping.
You don't even realize, like, 20 years later, like then, you're like, hey you, I listened to you in my little car bumping. You don't even realize, like 20 years later,
like then, you're like, hey, I'm gonna be doing a collab
with my idol slash respecter on stage.
That's dope.
From the smoker to the smoker,
I'd rather not do a thing with a pothead than you do.
Yeah, right.
Straight up.
Right.
Keep my mind.
Yeah, I'm so sorry.
Yeah, here you go.
But jumping back in there, it's like we could have just slapped anything on anything,
and that's not what it's about.
You know, that's got to be real.
God bless you guys.
But that's what, sorry, what made me fall in love with you guys
is...
Yes, pause.
We went to Colorado.
We fell in love with every strand
you guys had. We fell in love.
And I'm sitting there like,
damn, that could be super thug OG.
This could be super thug OG.
How do you pick? How do you pick when everything's
so good?
I can't
Reveal
Exactly what I did
Cause that's just not
It's your secret
Yeah
Plant science
I can say it's
Gas on gas
It's gas on gas
Gas on gas
So I picked
Two strands
Right
And these brothers
Looked at me in my face
And said you know what
We're not going to stop
Until we get it that way.
We invited everybody there.
Yes.
And we basically went old school.
It's like the Pepsi challenge.
Close your eyes and taste it.
Yes.
Tell me which one,
this or that.
And I think Ching Bing
was like a couple of strains deep
and forgot the rest.
I'm going to be honest.
Ching Bing was no help at all.
He took my hat.
He smoked everything.
He's like, everything is great.
Everything is great, though.
The dang dough was fire.
The dang dough was fire.
That shit was fire, fire.
The dang dough.
The dang dough.
We just listened
to your palate.
You did the taste test.
You told us what you liked.
Yes.
And, you know, we put it behind what you said was what it needed to be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, Redo.
What's going on?
What's going on?
Welcome back, brother.
Welcome back.
Yo, listen, you was on the legendary bro. Welcome back. Yo, listen.
You was on the legendary Mike Abner.
Oh, that was a major episode. Yo, the comics talk about that shit all the time, bro.
And you a fat dude.
You know what it was?
Like, the losing weight part of it is dope,
but social media, like, motivates you and shit.
It's the social media that motivates you and shit.
What social media told you was that? Of shit. What's this me to tell juice that of course they do
On it with Mike man and like the episode was dope ball around but I just had those moments on there that was dope. It was an amazing episode. Thank you for being a part of that.
You know what the crazy shit is?
I thought you and Mike actually knew each other.
I didn't know that y'all met each other.
And the crazy part about that, we met on the spot, but I felt it.
I knew they was going to roast me.
You know what I mean?
That was great.
It's a comic thing.
You deserved to be roasted.
But it was a fun roast.
It wasn't malicious.
You deserved to be roasted.
No, it wasn't malicious, but it's a comic thing.
He says he's a comedian, let's test him on the show.
So I got it. But I wasn't ready for it.
That's Mike. No, that's Mike, bro.
Mike different. Mike different.
Not the Mike. I jumped on his homeboy.
I got him. You can see it on my face. I'm good. I jumped on his homeboy.
You can see it on my face.
I'm good. I'm good.
Yeah, he was fast with it.
Mike's different, bro.
His mind for comedy is just so different.
Because he called you a half a midget.
He said you almost was a midget.
You remember?
He said you almost was a midget.
He did the whole moon thing.
Yo, that's what he kills it, though.
He kills it.
Yo, dude, you had the horn, too.
That's what fucked me up.
For no reason.
You don't like the horn?
Because everything was funny.
Everything was funny.
It was the whole thing.
You got a song to be, man.
Hey, man, it was fun, though, man.
It was a lot of fun. I had no idea y, it was fun though, man. A lot of fun.
I had no idea
y'all didn't know each other.
I recognized that afterwards
and I looked at it.
I said,
damn,
Reno and Mike Epps
don't know each other.
Y'all been able
to stay in contact?
Yeah, we talked after that.
We actually talked about
doing like some sketches
and all that
because of that situation.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, got that.
Let's have some more water.
And just in case y'all don't know,
Mike Booth is the head of Operation
the Super Thug OG.
Most of the time, I don't even talk.
It's just Booth,
because this guy is
really a weed
connoisseur. The notes.
Yeah.
Dude, I've hated all of you notes. Yeah. Hey, good.
Dude,
I've hated all of you from the game.
I love you.

And we're going to
pre-thank all your fans
for Drink Champs,
Super Thug fans.
Yes.
But the same thing
with our Cherry fans,
our Cherry Colorado fans.
We're going to pre-thank them
because we're going to
select who gets it first,
who's going to come in,
get their pre-order out the door.
But they're hard critics.
When you see these comments
about this strain or that brand,
this stain or that stain,
they're connoisseurs.
We're not talking about just potheads.
We're talking about connoisseurs.
Definitely.
No, that's what I consider, I'm kidding, I'm saying it myself, a connoisseurs. Definitely. No, that's what I consider myself, a connoisseur.

Because
I'm going to be honest
That Max B interview
Everybody hated you
After that Max B interview
Let's keep it real
Am I lying?
Nah
Dipset definitely
I didn't do Jim Jones after that
You never got a dipset
I got a Jewel Santana
I got a Freaky Zeeky. I got a Jim

Jim Jones about Max Beat
and he not flip out.
But let's bring it there.

I think a lot of times
Niggas need to squash it
Like what do you really have beef for?
If a nigga ain't fuck your girl
Take your money
You know do something to your wife
Or your children
What you beefing for?
And most of the time
We beef based off the comments Nori might have said something they say oh you see what nori
said about you know no I know we can't say that about me then I want to take my
little shot that he said you see what doggy diamond said about you it's the
people that be egging that shit on and then our ego make us feel like right
now nigga can't try to play me and then they looking at now they got a show you
know I'm saying that damn and I could have called you because you my fucking man and say oh no and
you'd be like what the hell you talking about you know cherry Colorado this is

Let's get into the Max Beat then.
Go ahead.
All right.
You went to Max Beat Black.
Yo, the shit was so weird, man.
I love to tell the story because Fendi called me and said, do you want to interview Max Beat?
And Fendi, let's be clear.
To come up deep.
Fendi was the guy.
Nicki Minaj guy Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj
Ravy
Yes
Yes
And
Fendi
This is after he had the fight
With the homie
No this is before that
Before that
Okay
Cause I wasn't even there
For that fight
We can talk about that shit too
But I don't really want to
Talk about no weird niggas either
Cause niggas say
What they gonna do to me
On camera
But when you see me
Why you gonna do it
Because once you tell the world
You gonna do something to me You also told police Right I don to do to me on camera, but when you see me, why you going to do it? Because once you tell the world you're going to do something to me,
you also told police.
Right.
I don't want to fuck with police.
Right.
That's the only niggas we lose every time.
What are we talking about?
Because Fendi, who's the other guy we're talking about?
I'm not even giving that nigga no life.
Okay.
No problem.
Because that nigga sleeps somewhere.
Okay.
And that Fendi punch.
Okay, okay.
You know what I'm saying?
But the Max B thing,
Fendi called me and said,
you want to interview Max B?
So I was like, where Jordan at?
Because at this time,
Jordan Tower is still doing the Come Out DVD.
So I said, where Jordan at?
He said, well, Jordan don't want to fuck with Max
because he's scared of Jim Jones.
So I was like, why are you scared of Jim Jones?
Because Jim and him is running down
on anybody that interviewed Max.
We love Jim Jones, by the way.
So I said, I said, I said, Melly is my man, though.
Melly is my man.
You know what I'm saying?
That's my hood.
So I'm going to go do it.
You know what I'm saying?
So I went there.
I went there and I hooped it.
She had a dent on the side.
It was a little purple car. We had to roll the windows down like that. I'm saying? So I went there. Yo, I went there and I hooped it. Shit had a dent on the side. It was a little purple car.
We had to roll the windows down like that.
I'm dead ass serious.
And I'm looking for Max.
I don't have his number.
So I'm looking for Max.
I go, where the fuck is this nigga Max at?
This nigga come walking down the block, his hair blowing in the wind.
I said, ah.
He had a perm.
He had a perm.
He had a perm.
What's the nigga named?
Superfly.
He came walking down the block like a priest, his hair blowing away. And I said, no, I know
this nigga. I said, I know this ain't Max B.
So he came with that. He had Dane Grease with him
too. Shout out Dane Grease.
Dane Grease was there.
And then we started the interview. And I
didn't know he was going to go there though.
But I had to ask him critical questions.
One of the things that I want
everybody who do interviews to know
when you interview people who have beef, right? One of the things that I want everybody who do interviews to know, when you interview people who have beef, right?
One of the things I always ask everybody is what is it going to take to squash this shit?
This man might say, yo, just keep my name out.
Just don't say nothing about me.
Because a lot of niggas be looking for an out.
So I try to give everybody an out.
You know what Max B say?
Somebody got to die.
And you see me say And you see me say
Nah you don't really mean that
You can hear me say
Nah come on man
You don't really mean that shit
He said other things
In the interview
That I cut out
Because one thing
I gotta rule is
No women
No children
You not gonna talk about
Nobody wife and nobody kids
On my camera
You say what you want
About that man
Cause when you see that man
You gotta handle that man as a man,
but how a nigga wife going to fight you?
How his children going to fight you?
You know what I'm saying?
So when he said,
when he said about,
I was like, fuck that.
You know what I'm saying?
Remember one time I hit you, right?

Yo you ready to stand on that
Cause when niggas see you
They gonna fuck you up
Cause I know some niggas
Ain't built like that
But you get in front of this camera
And they wanna start lying
And I be like
Oh
You gonna get your ass
Cause I'm gonna put the footage out
Like I did an interview
With another nigga.
He got cold feet.
And I respected it because I knew that he couldn't win.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's what it is with a lot of that.
So when someone tells you they got, you said cold feet, but are they telling you straight up?
They're like, please don't put that out.
Yeah, I'm going to put it out.
Okay.
That's what they're saying.
When you say cold feet.
Shout out to Sticky Fingers, too.
Sticky know what I'm talking about.
Let me just say something. Sticky talking about. Let me just say something.
Sticky another one.
Let me just say something.
Sticky another one.
Sticky got some shit down.
This is why you're honorable.
Hold on, hold on.
Let him finish the Sticky Fingers.
Yo, Sticky, Sticky, Sticky.
Shout out to Sticky Fingers.
Sticky went crazy one night.
Sticky went so crazy that Fredjo was like,
yo, you got to give me that tape.
And rest in peace, my brother.
Telling you that.
No, rest in peace to my brother, Mike Beck.
Mike Beck was there. Mike Beck said, we ain't getting that tape and rest in peace my brother telling you that no rest in peace to my brother mike beck mike beck was there mike beck said you ain't getting that tape because me and beck was you
know i'm saying i was my bro we was always together so me and beck was together and beck was like
no you ain't getting that tape right so i didn't even have to say nothing fred was like yo i gotta
get that tape right mike beck was like yo you're not getting that tape so don't even ask him for
you're not getting it sticky said But then the next day
Sticky hit me
Was like yo
Fred was telling me
I wilded out last night
Could you please
Not put the footage out
I said yo nah
You got my
You know you got my word as a man
I ain't gonna put the footage out
You know what I'm saying
I just didn't put it out
Because again
I know where shit gonna go
Once we start dealing
With niggas egos
And niggas emotions
When you say some shit
About a man
That shit gonna go there You know what I'm saying But niggas' egos and niggas' emotions, when you say some shit about a man, that shit going to go there.
You know what I'm saying?
But niggas be quick to blame the interviewers and the media outlets.
But you said that shit, nigga.
I didn't tell you to say that shit.
What you think about what's going on with live TV right now?
Didn't I tell you this shit 15 years ago?
Yes, you did.
Okay.
But let's tell the people.
So my thing was with this.
We black, and it's black and Spanish people in this culture.
Poor white people did add on to this culture.
I will never act like they didn't.
From the Bronx, it's poor white people in that shit.
Poor white people being part of that hit box from the beginning, of course.
I don't know, I feel like this nigga's interrogating people.
I don't feel like he's really asking questions because one thing, every interview
you ever see me do,
always talk about the music.
You're not going to get on my camera because you stabbed
somebody. What the fuck that got to do with the music? That's
not the culture. The culture
starts with the music.
So even if you tell me, yo, I stabbed
64 people in three days,
when's your new record coming out?
I don't see, I see people go new record coming out? I don't see
I see people go on these platforms
But I don't see people talking about the music
That's what brings us all together
That's why we love Noriega
That's why we love you as a DJ
It's all about the music
So when I see him
Doing certain shit
I was like yo he gonna send Somebody to hell
Niggas is gonna get
Bag fucking with him
And then
You said this 15 years ago
15 years ago
You said black TV
Is like damn near facts
Facts
I said that to you
And now everyone
Is realizing
So my homie
Kareem Johnson
Said to me
He called me one day
He said
King
You have been vindicated
You know what that means?
Because what you said 15 years ago came to fruition, and now can't nobody call you a hater.
Because you was right.
Listen, you said it before on Twitter.
I don't think y'all know how smart Doggy Diamonds is.
I did.
I'm a motherfucker who sit back because I know when to jump in.
Sometimes you got to get quiet, and you so loud in your silence.
Some niggas talk.
You want to talk.
You want to talk.
Nah, me, I sit back.
I do the knowledge.
I be like, hold on.
What the fuck going on?
Like when you walk in a room,
you scour the room.
You look around the room.
You ain't going to just come sit down.
I don't know him.
So I got a people.
So even in the landscape.
That's my guy right there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's great.
Jerry Calhoun.
That's great.
You're safe.
You're good.
That's great. That's great. You're safe. You're good.
That's great.
So the point I'm making is that when you go into shit
and you're dealing with this media
because everybody got
a media outlet now
and I don't like that shit.
I'm going to keep it real with you
because niggas used to call me
a clown when I had a camera.
But he never said it in my face
but they'd be like,
oh, this nigga,
here this nigga go with this camera.
Now everybody got a camera
and I really feel like
Everybody's doing that shit
Cause they on your dick
And I'ma keep it real
With you
You know what I'm saying
And I don't
And I don't like it
I don't like it
Yes I'ma keep it real with you
I don't like it
Because
Doggy Dom's came to see me
In the W Hotel
On 32nd Street
And Madison Avenue
And said
I don't know
Where the fuck a podcast is
Why the fuck is everybody
Doing a podcast
Yeah like
What the fuck is going on
Because
The issue that I have was
I used to get
This
And they repainted a narrative
That he only interviewed
Old washed up rappers
Right
That's what they used to say about me
You could go look at
My name in forums
But I'm like
Hold on
Smooth the Hustler
Made broken language
He can never be washed up
Absolutely
Hey
Tragedy Look Smooth the Hustler made broken language. He can never be washed up. Absolutely.
Look, you called me one day and said,
yo, that interview you did with Traj made me fuck with Traj again.
So for that, I brought CNN and Traj together.
This nigga's memory is fantastic.
I don't drink and smoke.
You understand what I'm saying?
So you're trying to tell me
Cormega sit down with me
and Cormega said, this is why I fuck with you because I me Cormega sit down with me And Cormega said
This is why I fuck with you
Because I asked Cormega
I said yo Mega
Why is it that
Every time they always
Ask you about Nas
But they never ask Nas
About you
And he said
You know
I fuck with you
Because they not gonna make me
The Frazier to his alley
You know what I'm saying?
So I was like
Remember what I told you
A long time ago
I said yo Nori
Always be careful
With your opponent
Cause you don't wanna be
Tied to certain niggas
You understand what I'm saying?
Like you can't say
Doggy Diamonds and this nigga
That nigga ain't shit
Put me
If I got beef
I want beef with Charlamagne
I want beef with somebody
That's up that
Them saying my name
Is gonna help
Oh shit
That nigga said my name
That's a
You can't just bum ass nigga with you on YouTube.
You don't want to be burrito.
Who?
You don't want to be burrito.
I don't want to be burrito, nobody.
You can't be burrito.
I'm just saying.
You can't be burrito.
Look, hey look, and Charlamagne is my dude,
but I'm just saying, why?
And you signed our heart.
We did a deal for the Getsa Pot.
Goddamn, make some money going for the Getsa Pot.
Oh, you're part of G Gangster Chronicles? Yeah.
Is that going to be a special?
Oh, man.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Tell me.
I thought you had a deal with our dude, your dog at Diamond's imprint.
Gangster Chronicles.
Gangster Chronicles with the West Coast guys.
And we got to do Gangster Chronicles.
I exactly produced that show.
Shout out to the homie Norm Steele.
That's my partner.
And our podcast network
is called
Digital Slowbox Network.
I blew up Gangsta Chronicles.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm the guy that said
I love that.
Adam 22.
I was like,
I want Adam.
Oh, there he is.
Damn.
You really know your shit, yo.
You see,
when you do journalism
the right way,
you study everything.
Right.
Like, I was the kid
reading album credits.
Yeah, that's...
Because people don't know
it's the difference
between a producer
and a beat maker.
And we say, yo,
beat done by Teddy Rowley,
percussion played by Eddie F.
And all the writers
and publishers.
Percussion played by Eddie F.
Drum program and done.
You understand what I'm saying?
That's...
And Teddy Rowley
is the producer
because he made the record,
but then you have
beat makers now.
And they think beat makers
and producers
is the same thing. It's not. So when people say, Puffy ain't no producer. Yes, he is. He's the one who produced because he made the record, but then you have beat makers now. And they think beat makers and producers are the same thing.
It's not.
So when people say,
Puffy ain't no producer.
Yes, he is.
He's the one who produced
the record to the record label.
He's the one that coordinated
the record.
Because producing means
all of it.
Exactly.
So Puffy's not a producer.
Neither is Quincy Jones.
Right.
Absolutely.
But per definition.
So Quincy Jones is a producer,
so is Puffy.
I'm not going to lie.
This is the easiest interview
I ever did. Well, you know, I talk food better too. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying. Puffy. I'm not going to lie, this is the easiest interview I ever did.
Well, you know I talk food better, too.
Cherry Colorado!
Like, I'm going to be real with you.
I'm just happy, really, to be in your presence.
Because one day you hit me up and you said to me,
yo, I feel like I haven't been a real friend to you.
And that shit bothered me because I'm like damn
Like
Cause it
Can I interrupt you
I'll be quiet
Cause you gave me a platform
When it was necessary
And a good bell game
And a good bell game And I wanted to give you this platform When it was necessary. And a good bell game. And a good bell game.
And I wanted to give you this platform
when it was necessary.
So when I said that to you,
damn, I really, really appreciate you remembering that.
Yeah, I remember everything.
If I had something to give back,
this is the time to do it.
Dream Champs is your platform.
Thank you.
You know what I'm saying?
Just in case you don't know that. Just in case you don't know that.
Just in case you don't know that.
And I haven't been so intimate of, you know, focusing and saying that
because I wanted to say it in front of your face.
I wanted to say it in your face because that interview
particularly
you could've
live TV'd me.
You could've
you could've
like whatever it was
I was just mad
at Prodigy
at that time
and you called me
like a man

I'm not using that footage.
That's dope.
We're not gonna do that one. Yeah, cause motherfucker you I don't using that footage. That's dope. We're not going to do that one.
Yeah, because, motherfucker, you...
I don't want to see my man go to jail.
Right.
You understand what I'm saying?
Because that's...
Fuck the footage.
You know what I'm saying?
That shit was on the DBT.
That shit is gone.
You know what I'm saying?
I call him and say,
no, we're not doing that.
Anybody else would be like,
I got some crazy footage.
You know how we be?
We be like,
oh, shit, he just said some shit.
Like, when we do an interview
and you say something, I already got my headline the next day.
I already got that.
Because for the record, I started the headlines.
Okay.
In the media.
I started, no, the headlines.
At one point, if you go back 10 years ago, before Forbes DVD, because people be forgetting,
I'm Forbes DVD too.
I helped start that.
God damn it.
You told me that stuff.
So before that It was a
New Sky Zoo interview
I started the
Sky Zoo speaks about such and such
Because the headline
When you read the newspaper
If it say
Joe Biden
What the fuck
What am I reading this for?
So I looked at like
National Enquirer
I don't do clickbait
If you said it nigga
You gotta be ready to stand on it
You know what I'm saying?
Sometimes I might paraphrase a little bit Because in youtube you only got 100 characters you know what i'm
saying seo purposes i ain't giving y'all too much i'll give it to y'all but for seo purposes you
know i'm saying you got to do that but i started the headlines because when you look at yo you
know let me let me tell the story being on i'm. I got started in this business because I did the Come Up DVD.
And I knew I could get all this footage because you got to remember, a lot of these rappers I grew up with, I knew these niggas for a long time.
Uncle Murda was my artist.
Biggie coming to my house every day.
Lil' Kim in my house every day.
Sean Price, Tech from Smith & Wesson.

So, when I could get this footage,
I sent out a mass email.
I sent one to all hip-hop.

It's like your legacy, yeah.
I'm trying to build generational wealth.
It's not going to come off of interviews.
It's not going to come off no podcast.
It comes from a lot of dealing. So when niggas make calls behind the scenes and do certain shit to do all that you become an enemy not to me you become an enemy to my family because i can't tell my
little cousin yo you can't get shit for christmas because this nigga took my video down or this
nigga i just want to be clear uh-huh are we saying that about q you say yes the niggas used to

you can't tell me the workers is doing this, that, and the third.
You the fucking manager.
Right.
Fire them niggas or

now I got a problem with you.
You know what I'm saying? So, again,
bless the dead.
I don't wish death on nobody unless you're my
enemy. I'm going to be real with you. I'm not a motherfucker
who be like, yo, pray
for my enemy. Nah, fuck that. Where do we
get that from? Once you become my enemy,
you're my enemy.
Don't be my enemy. That's why I keep telling niggas, you always
save me, save the niggas. Y'all don't want no problems.
I'm a tough enemy, I'm telling you.
And there's no statute of limitation on
the ass work. If I owe you
eventually, I gotta pay you one day.
I know a lot
of cops, and they get asked all the
time, have you ever had to shoot
your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no across the
country cops called this taser the revolution but not everyone was convinced it was that simple
cops believed everything that taser told them fromava for Good and the team that brought you
Bone Valley
comes a story about
what happened
when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself
to one visionary mission.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.
And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here
didn't have a real affinity for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th,
where we'll delve into stories of the West
and come to understand how it helps inform the ways
in which we experience the region today.

And it's going to take us to heal us.
It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and on a recent episode of Just Heal with Dr. J, the incomparable Taraji P. Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered peace on her journey.
So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting
to our childhood in some sort. You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little
girl inside of me die. I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid.
I laugh. You know, I love jokes. I love funny. I love laughing. I laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously.
That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard.
To hear this and more things on the journey of healing, you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Connecting changes everything.
Hello, hello, Malcolm Gladwell here. On this season of Revisionist History, we're going where no podcast has ever gone before. In combination with my three-year-old,
we defend the show that everyone else hates. I'm talking, of course, about Paw Patrol.
There's some things that really piss me off when it comes to Paw Patrol.
It's pretty simple. It sucks.
My son watches Paw Patrol. I hate it.
Everyone hates it, except for me.
Plus, we investigate everything from why American sirens are so unbearably loud,
to the impact of face blindness on social connection,
to the secret behind Thomas'
English muffins, perfect nooks and
crannies. And also,
we go after
Joe Rogan. Are you ready,
Joe? I'm coming for
you. You won't want to miss it.
Listen to Revisionist History on the iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Let me ask you.
Uh-huh.
Your Max B interview might have been the most controversial.
Of all time.
It might have been the most whatever, whatever.
Uh-huh.
Was it dip set drama after that?
Uh-huh.
No.
Really?
No.
Get out of here.
Well, I'm going to say this.
I'm a man.
And I believe in accountability
and responsibility.
Accountability and responsibility.
And that means, right,
when you do some things,
if you have no malicious intent.
Yo, Yonde.
Yonde.
Yo, Diego.
I'm looking directly at y'all.
Y'all got the...
Yes, you, Rod, and motherfucking
Chain Man because you got the
legs.
Look, if you do some shit and
you have no malicious intent in
what you're doing, like if I do
something in EFN, you feel the
way about it.
And you hit me and say, yo,
doggy, what was that?
I say, damn, EFN?
I didn't even realize I did that shit.
My bad, I apologize.
Because there was no malicious intent.
But when I duck your phone calls,
and I act like I don't know.
It confirms the bullshit.
It confirms the bullshit.
Because I'm looking, I'm like, yo, I know EFN about to hit me.
So with the dips, no, I didn't have no dipset issues.
So you're saying that Jim Jones and them called you afterwards?
I interviewed them after that. I interviewed Jim Jones after that.
It go on Forbes DVD. Again, I'm the only person to ask, if you ask Jim Jones about Max B, he tends to go crazy.
Yeah.
I got...
No, he just did on Jenny Wombul.
He did?
Yes.
Oh yeah, I see that.
How proud was you of the French squash. French and seeing him and French together.
I guess it's cool, but I would rather see...
Him and Max?
I love the music Max and Jim made.
Ain't nothing fucking with that shit, man.
And for the music, sometimes the music,
again, the music, the culture is more important than shit.
That's the reason why we all here.
Yeah, but I'm goinga keep it real with you
Max B did violate a lot though
When you talk about
A man woman
You understand what I'm saying
So Max has to atone for that
He has to go to that man
And that woman
And say yo
I apologize
I'm wrong
Even though we don't do no music
I'm still wrong
You know what I'm saying
But you can only forgive somebody When they ask for forgiveness though You know that right That's why I don't do no music, I'm still wrong. You know what I'm saying? But you can only forgive somebody
when they ask for forgiveness though, you know that, right?
That's why I don't forgive people.
You can only forgive somebody if they ask for forgiveness
because if they don't ask for forgiveness,
that means they'll do that shit again.
They never say sorry.
I don't, you know what I'm saying?
I don't be like, oh, I do think for the dummy though.
You know what thinking for the dummy is, right?
Thinking for the dummy is if I go outside,
this nigga dumb. I got the heat on me. I can shoot him in his head and kill him, but he's so stupid,
he don't know he about to die. So I'm going to think for him and just keep walking because he's
dumb. We got a death wish. One time we was in Farragut, me and my cousin. My cousin had a Mac
Taylor. My cousin's from Farragut. Yeah, yeah. My cousin over there. He had, what you had, Tad?
Nina and the Macs. Yeah, we had a Nina, we had a Nina.
We had the two Macs, right?
We had two Mac, two Mac 10s.
Let's take it there.
Two Mac 11s, they had a 9.
Take 9, sir.
No, no, it's a regular 9.
A regular 9.
A regular 9.
So he had a 9.
We had two Mac 10s.
We dipped out on my other cousins,
messing with some chicks.
We walking through the project.
Some niggas like,
yo, who the fuck is these niggas
We all bust out laughing
Cause I'm like
Yo we can kill these niggas
And kill these bitches too
But we don't really know them like that
Cause we wanna get away
So again
We think it for the dummy
Because
You can do that
Kill these niggas
And now you on the run forever
And I ain't trying to be on the run
Eating like you

This water
Nah yeah yeah yeah
Okay
Let's make some noise For fucking Doggy Diamond Is that there I'm trying to be on the run eating like you. Right, no. This water? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. I'm about to start a war.

This is my people's.
Okay.
I did a shirt that he has on a Super Thug OG.
Okay.
We did a deal together.
We got a strain together.
Finally.
And I'm going to be honest
It's probably one of the best moves
We ever made
These guys are very official
They did not want to care
Or rush into shit
We sat there and we did this
So do you smoke marijuana or no?
I don't know, I never smoked in my life
Never

Intelligent Hood.
You're a real nigga.
No, the Killer Kids.
Okay.
Wow.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I said,
I've been hit by the story.
So the reason why
when the nigga said,
I got the mind.

all we know is
we don't want no knowledge
of self.
We don't want no knowledge of self. We don't want no knowledge of self.

It's three people.
Ralph McDaniels first.
God bless you.
Marley Moore second.
God bless you. And Mall second God bless you
And Pete Rock
That was a great influence

So on the media side
Great three influences
On the media side
Ralph McDaniels
Because he's the father
Of media
He's the father
He's before Hot Tracks
He's before
UMBT Rap
He's the first one
Let's just

You know what's funny with him though,
cause every time I see him I bow and he laugh.
And I say yo.
Pharrell bowed to me the other day, I didn't like it.
But he's supposed to though,
cause you changed his life.
That's true.

What I'm saying
What I'm saying is that
As men
We don't give each other room to grow
How we stand
How we stood before people

In the eyes of people
So when you start doing your thing
I don't be like
Nigga Nori not calling me
He doubling my calls

So some things is hereditary.
Addiction could be hereditary.
And then seeing some of the things he went through, we go through the same shit.
You're my father, but I'm your child.
So when you go through something, I see it.
So I seen him smoke crack When crack first hit
I seen him smoke
I seen him sniff car
I seen him do all that
So
I wanted to be like
The good father
That I remember
I never wanted to be like
The crackhead
I wanted to be like
The smart guy
The guy with the good
Pimmons shit
The guy that
Anything I asked him
He knew everything
You know what I'm saying
So I said
You know what
I never smoked And I'm said You know what I never smoked
And I'm going to tell you
Why I never smoked too
Because I didn't like
The look on a nigga's face
After they got high
I'd be like
Yo y'all niggas look mad stupid
That's how I used to be like
Yo and I remember
Chicks used to be like this
I'm like yo
So we supposed to
Fuck these chicks
That look like this
Like I said
I quit drinking
Because my older brother
Was an alcoholic
And I used to always
Pop shit
Yo you always drunk
He'd say What about you And I used to always pop shit. Yo, you always drunk. He'd say, what about you?
And I'd be like, damn.
Look, when you point a finger, right,
there's three of them pointing back at you.
Oh, shit.
Say that again?
When you point a finger,
there's three of them pointing back at you.
That's real.
You know what I'm saying?
So a lot of times,
you can't be judgmental if you do that same shit.
It's hypocritical.
Yeah, and we all hypocritical
to a certain extent
but some of us
be campaigning.
Yo,
all niggas gotta say
sometimes is like,
but what about you?
You be like,
damn,
why you bringing up
old shit?
You know what I'm saying?
So,
when my brother,
one day I was just like,
yo,
I can't be drinking
no more,
I can't.
And then I went
through a deep ass depression.
Let me ask you one more thing.
Uh huh.
I think we touched on it earlier
but I want to elaborate
and articulate over it.
Is Vlad TV cool for our culture?
Alright.
This is going to be deep
because this.
I said this on Twitter
the other day,
at Doggy Diamonds.
Sometimes people
want to remove people.
They want to remove
people who contributed to
arts.
They want to remove people who contribute
to the arts, the knowledge,
and the music and replace it with nothing.
So we take Vlad away Unfortunately
There's no
There's no Lord Jamal
Podcast
He's brand new
Being pumped up
To get beat down
That's it
That's who you are
Because he gave you
A platform
To where What the fuck Lord Jamal about to say And now it beat down. That's it. That's all you are. Because he gave you a platform to where,
what the fuck
Lord Jamal about to say?
And now,
Lord Jamal is my favorite
rapper in Brand Newbie.
No,
Grand Poobah invented
swag rap.
We could,
could we clap for that?
Yeah.
I agree with everything
you're saying,
but I can't agree with.
Would it be a
Yann Amin podcast
if it wasn't for that?
Yeah,
I can't agree.
Would it be a
Yann Amin podcast if it wasn't for Vlad? Yeah, I can't agree Would it be a Yannameen podcast
If it wasn't for Vlad?
I'm the person that called
Lord Jamal
Myself
Because you know him
But would the masses know who he is
Without Vlad TV?
That's a great point
We're talking
We know him as a rapper
Yo, why did Chick Bane not keep rolling?
What is Chick Bane doing?
What are you doing?
I had to do it
Mr. Lee took my seat, bro
Oh, now you're blaming me? Yeah, Mr. Lee took my seat, bro. Now you blaming me?
Yeah, Mr. Lee took your seat.
JVMU.
Mr. Lee took your seat.
I'm sorry.
Well, um.
So, so I don't think it would be that.
And to keep it all the way real, this is the shit that a lot of niggas don't touch on.
Yo.
To keep it real, a lot of, this is shit a lot of people don't touch on.
And I have to touch on it because I'm on a big platform.
My song was the one holding him down when he was doing fuck shit.
So how much accountability...
So let me say this
something real quick. Can I tell you about my Vlad
confrontation? Look, can I say something real quick
before that? It's kind of crazy.
I just want to say that
the culture
and when I say the culture, it's convoluted.
Yes.
Holds down platforms like that because it wants to see bullshit.
And that's the problem, first and foremost.
Why is it traffic?
Why is there traffic?
Why is it traffic on the highways?
Like Jerry Stringer.
No, why is there traffic on the highways?
You know why? Because it's not the car accident. The car accident traffic on the highways? Like Jerry Stringer No, why is there traffic on the highways? You know why?
Because it's not
The car accident
The car accident is on the side of the road
Is everybody looking at it?
Absolutely
Everybody want to see
If somebody's head is on the floor
We love
We all watch Faces of Death
We love functions
Faces of Death
So cancer
That's a written
Yeah, so cancer
Has to live
In a negative environment
Right
If your body Is in a If your body And your. Right. If your body is in a...
If your body and your mind, your spirit, and your body is positive,
cancer will go away.
Right.
It's when you give up.
Yep.
That's when you die.
So, unfortunately, it started with Worldstar,
who I used to battle them like a motherfucker, too.
And they've changed a lot.
And they've changed...
No, they've changed a lot.
You ain't even give a shit.
They've changed a lot.
Shout out to Worldstar
They changed a lot
I can't
Listen
I'ma be real with you
If you my enemy in life
You my enemy in death
That shit never goes away
It never goes away
I'm
You know
I'm from
I respect that
Like cause I'm not fake
I'm not gonna show up
At your funeral like
This is my nigga
And then when everybody look Ha ha you bitch I'm not like. I'm not going to show up at your funeral like, this is my nigga. And then when everybody look, ha ha, you bitch.
I'm not like that.
I feel bad for people's children and their family because I know what it's like to lose somebody.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm respectful to them.
But I'm not going to, I don't know how to be fake.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
So, again, back to what I was saying was, when Vlad used to do a lot of fuck shit,
and niggas wanted to put his head out, he would call my son and my son would call niggas and niggas respected him
But niggas ain't never fucked Vlad up because of my son like when I had my confrontation with Vlad in front of Milk River
In Brooklyn, I'm home in Brooklyn. I can't be touched in Brooklyn. No way. I don't give a fuck where I'm at
So I was interviewing Charlie Clips
And Vlad-
From you know-
Yeah, yeah the battle rap okay yeah
and Wild N Out yeah Vlad walks on my camera now this is when I lost all the weight so maybe he
didn't know it was me so I look from behind my camera I'm like yo Vlad why you don't fuck with
me he said oh shit doggy damn yeah because you you be talking shit Paul's oh fuck you talking to
But yeah my son and another dude with him. So I think he felt strong
He learned that day. I don't give a fuck if it's ten niggas
I got jump before like that shit just don't even mean nothing to me
I like got stabbed jump shot at shit don't mean nothing, but I'm not with all due respect
I've never let no white boy Talk to me crazy
Ever in my life
Because we used to knock y'all out
And dig y'all pockets in midtown
You understand what I'm saying?
So, so
So if you think
So if you think you live
Cause you with him
I'ma show you that
I don't give a fuck who you with
Cause if you wasn't with him
Would you talk to me like that? You understand what I'm saying? And all I ask you Why you don't give a fuck who you with Because if you wasn't with him Would you talk to me like that?
You understand what I'm saying?
And all I ask you is why you don't fuck with me
And I said I don't fuck with you
Because you a bitch ass nigga
He said to you you don't fuck with me
No I told him I said why you don't fuck with me
Because people were telling me behind the scenes
That he was kicking my back at me
You understand what I'm saying?
Me kicking my back at me means
Oh don't fuck with Doggy Diamonds
He's racist.
Because everybody's black power now.
Remember, I was on that shit a long time ago.
Oh, you was considered racist?
Yeah.
I've never heard of this.
This is what I'm saying.
Get out of here.
Listen, your name enters rooms your feet never will enter.
Wow.
That's what they was threatening about you.
Yeah.
So I had a situation where I was trying to work on something with Complex
because he tried to buy Forbes DVD from us before.
Vlad did?
Vlad, he tried to buy it.
And so did Dat Piff tried to buy it too.
And we wouldn't sell it, you know what I'm saying?
So when he said that, I told him, I said,
yo, I be talking shit because I think you a bitch ass nigga
and I think you a fucking culture vulture.
To his face, as as a man right on Atlantic
and somebody
else filmed the footage so he called
me the next day yo
no my son called me like yo what's good
I said yo that nigga is
pussy like I don't fuck with that nigga you know what I'm saying
that nigga did a lot of shit to me he said yo I didn't
know all this could I get you
on the phone with him I talk to
anybody because again anything
could be resolved by you we talk like men to men to men don't send your delegate bosses speak to
bosses you know i'm saying i'm not speaking to no flunkies so when my son called me the respect
that i have for him i spoke about i spoke to vlad and he said yo what's the problem and he said yo
used to say I was gay
Used to call me a fag
I said
I never said that
I interviewed Lady Luck
And she said
She think you gay
Cause at one point
Remember he used to always ask people
About gay mafia
And remember Vlad
That was his shtick for a while
He used to always ask
Who you think is gay
What about the gay rapper
And all that shit he used to do
Oh yeah okay
So Lady Luck
The Wendy Williams shit
Yeah so Lady Luck
And I don't even fuck with Lady Luck But that Wendy Williams shit. Yeah, so Lady Luck, and I don't even fuck with Lady Luck,
but that's another shit.
Lady Luck was like,
um, Lady Luck was like,
um, well, I think he's gay
because he's always
asking about gay shit.
I think he...
So he put it on me.
So I said,
I never said you was gay, bro.
When did I say you was gay?
But I said,
I do know that you was
fucking up shit
behind the scenes for me,
and that's why I said
what I said to you.
So he was like,
yo, nah, that, that,
because he had me
blocked and shit like that.
He could be thinking
blocking me on Twitter
means something.
Joe Budden got me blocked too.
Shout out to Joe Budden.
But,
but,
but see,
look,
this is,
this is,
this is reciprocity.
I'm calling Joe Budden
right now.
Look,
look,
this is reciprocity.
When him and Charlemagne
did the year end review, they said I had thelemagne did the year-end review,
they said I had the best interview of the year.
When I interviewed Tribe Gangsta.
Because I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, he got me blocked.
We talk about you behind your back.
Yeah, I used to troll him.
In the Illuminati meetings.
I used to troll him.
You've been to Illuminati meetings?
I've never been to Illuminati meetings.
I understand why he blocked me though.
Because I used to fucking troll him, though.
Like, Joe Button was the first reality TV star.
You would have blocked him.
No, I don't be blocking people.
I'm saying you would have.
I just invite a nigga to the Frank stand, or I just tell him all fucker yo.
No, I don't invite nobody to the Frank stand.
No, my Frank stand.
I'm Frank stand.
I always tell a nigga to eat a dick.
Because nowadays, if you tell a nigga to suck a dick, some of these niggas be like, okay, anyway.
So you can't be telling niggas to suck a dick.
You know what I'm saying?
You can't be telling niggas to suck a dick
because they're going to be like, what?
You can't do that.
Really?
I don't know where this is going to be going.
He declined me.
He declined you?
No, not yet.
It feels like I'm declined. Yeah, but again, he blocked me. He declined you? No, not yet. No, not yet. Like literally.
It feels like I'm declined.
Yeah, but again, he blocked me.
And I used to fuck with him because I'm a big fan of Ransom too.
I love Ransom.
So Ransom is your what?
This is why you're an evil person.
Why?
Because you see how you just put that together?
I love Ransom.
But you do know.
I was being Ransom. Yeah, you were being Ransom. But you do know. I was being a rascal.
Yeah, you were being a rascal.
I was, but see, I'm accountable.
You do know that Ransom was the guy that was known to show up in Joe Biden's house.
Facts.
That's what he's known for.
Yeah.
So how could you be cool with both?
Oh, shit.
Well, as media, I could be cool with anybody.
But, but, um. Calling back? That's me calling back? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh shit Well as media I could be cool with Anybody But But um
Calling back
That's me calling back
I don't
Yeah yeah yeah
As media I could be cool
I'm supposed to be cool
With everybody
When I do have favoritism
I let it be known
In the interview
First
No you have a lot of favoritism
And I love it
I do
But I've never done
An interview
I've never done
An interview with somebody
And then give the other side
A chance to rebuttal
Meaning
That if Noriega says
Fuck this person
And if this person
Call me and say
Yo fuck Norie
I wanna get on your camera
I don't be like
First thing I'm gonna do
Is say nah
Norie's my man
Can I get you on the phone
But why
You think you starting the drama
You think you keeping it going
Nah because
Everybody
See I interview the underdog I was interviewing niggas When they didn't wanna hear From these niggas the drama? You think you're keeping it going? Nah, because everybody, see, I interviewed
the underdog.
I was interviewing
niggas when they didn't
want to hear from
these niggas.
Again, they said
I want to interview
old, washed up rappers.
Meaning, alright,
let's just address
the elephant in the room.
Uh-huh.
Mack, this is one
of your best
legendary interviews.
Max B, yes.
I don't know
what he said.
He's like,
oh, I touched it in Miami, really? Yeah, but I cut that out, though. I don't know what he said. He's like, oh, I touched it in Miami.
Yeah, but I cut that out, though.
But it came out.
Not in that interview, nope. How did that
part come out? That's a different interview.
That's a different interview. He did say something
on camera, and I stopped the camera, and
I told him, we not doing that.
Beautiful. You know
what I'm saying? He said something.
At this time
Jordan Tower was the editor
So now you and Jordan Tower
Was just working together
No
I'm doing all the interviews
And Jordan is the editor
And I have to give it to him
To edit
And then eventually
I became the editor
Of the Come Up DVD
Woo
We need to hear this
Yeah
I became the editor
Of the Come Up DVD
And all the
Man we lost all them DVDs
In the streets
You had Smack
You had Sub-Zero Man when i started doing interviews for the come up and and shout out
i'm a shout out freeze even though he says shit about me i didn't like sub-zero yeah sub-zero
what did sub-zero say freeze oh he said that i'm the one who filmed him and fendi fighting and i
thought i wasn't even there what are you talking about? I wasn't even there That was a great fight By the way Yeah
But
My thing is this
And this is what
I love that fight
This is what I want to say
To the world
I think he need to move on
With his life
Right?
Because if you're talking
About something that happened
With me and you
In 2009
What have you done
In 11 years?
You can't
Like a nigga can't
Take me back
To Old Beef that
The scab heals
Cause when you take me back to that
You pick the scab
And I'm like
Let's just keep it real
Yeah go ahead
Did you film that?
No I didn't
That was in Harlem
Yeah it was the 145th street
Yeah I didn't film that
So it was a Harlem neighborhood
That filmed that
It was the niggas in the store
That shit was on a flip phone
Back then
If you could look at it
It was flip phone footage.
I didn't put that out.
But my relationship with Fendi, because when Fendi, remember Fendi would only do my platform.
Yes.
Fendi would.
So you could understand where he's coming from.
Yeah, but I spoke to him on the phone though as a man though.
Sub-Zero.
Yeah.
And I told him I don't want no problem with you.
And if there's a problem, I'll come to your crib right now.
But I thought you put the footage out. No, I didn't. I didn't. Let me just. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to keep it a hundred. I'm going to no problem with you. And if it's a problem, I'll come to your crib right now. But I thought you put the footage out.
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
Let me just,
I got to keep it a hundred.
I'm going to keep it a year.
Because I followed your platform.
Yeah, I did.
I still follow your platform.
I didn't put that out.
And at that time,
No, I didn't put that out.
I felt like you posted it.
Did you post it on your platform?
Definitely posted it.
Okay, all right.
You posted it.
Because again,
because again,
what niggas used to say to me,
I did a podcast
Called The Mistakes I Made
The biggest mistakes I made
Is that I always worried
About my friends
And some of my friends
Never worried about me
So I always would try
To have integrity
And then niggas would
Hit me with that
Come on you a street nigga
You shouldn't be doing that
Okay so
Academics is not a street nigga right he could
do whatever the fuck he wants and become a millionaire and i can't do certain shit so i'm
supposed to be broke with y'all bum ass niggas because i'm a street nigga but then the first
thing you throw in my face is that academics passed you he's bigger than you he passed me

Because see people make hip hop
Black culture
That's a part of black culture
It's not black culture
We got other shit

Sciences
Lawyers
And we're not just athletes
And rappers
You know what I'm saying
So we do
We contributed to a lot
We invented a lot of this

So So So So we contributed to a lot. We invented a lot of this. You can't roll up. You know what I'm saying? You can't roll up, man.
So he rolled up.
No, it's him.
So I feel like a lot of them never really embraced us.
We made, you know, when the Migos make
Versace, Versace, Versace, Versace,
they used to be the first people saying,
hold up, Drake jumped on that?
Oh, nah, y'all got clothes for the rest of y'all life.
Right.
But they don't do that.
You know what I'm saying?
That's why I respected Tommy Hilfiger for doing that don't do that. You know what I'm saying? That's why I respected Tommy Hilfiger
for doing that shit for Grandpa Wood.
You know what I'm saying?
What exactly did he do?
I think he gave him some clothes.
You know what I'm saying?
Whoa, he didn't give him a deal?
I don't think, see, this is pre-deals.
Right.
If you go to a motherfucking,
it was called Simons in Brownsville
It turned into S&D
But you'll get robbed on picking
Like this is a fact
When you go in there
And Carl Canard gave you clothes back then
He didn't give like Tupac and them deals either
Nah right but he'll figure
There was some controversy
But he'll figure though
Yeah I don't really know too much
Yeah there was some fucked up shit
But he'll figure
I mean I don't know it off top
But there was some shit
But you know,
with that shit,
we got to start using
our power
that we have.
Like,
you can mention something
and motherfuckers
is going to buy that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
And we supporting shit
and they be like,
yo,
nah,
we don't want them
wearing our clothes.
We don't want this.
But then we the first nigga
to say,
yo,
I got this watch
and you ain't got this.
And I be like,
yeah,
but the niggas
that you bought that shit
from don't even like you. So you're a fucking idiot. I still... I got this watch and I don't get this. I'd be like, yeah, but the niggas that you bought that shit from don't even like you.
So you're a fucking idiot.
I still...
I got this watch.
I don't think these niggas that I bought it from like me.
Yeah.
Because...
You know what I don't know?
Don't worry, because a lot of times we base success off of materialism.
I was trying to be funny.
We base success off of materialism.
That's why.
You know what I'm saying?
If a motherfucker got credit, he could buy anything.
But that don't mean
he's successful though.
Successful to me
was losing 120 pounds.
I'm a success story.
You understand
what I'm saying?
It's not about
a dollar amount
that I put another
20, 30 years on my life.
So when they can say,
yo, don't...
And this is 40 day reset?
Nah, that was...
Yeah, because you know
that's only 40 days.
But you gotta You gotta tinker
You gotta continue
You gotta do different things
So I didn't diet
I changed my life
You know what I'm saying?
I changed my life
And um
When you go through
You know, sometimes people
Look at a caterpillar
And say that shit is ugly as hell
But that caterpillar
Becomes a butterfly
Definitely does So what I did was
I went into a cocoon.
I just came out a whole new nigga. Remember the first time I saw you?
I remember seeing, I ain't gonna
mention his name because fuck him, but I remember seeing this
dude. He was like, yo, where the rest of you at?
And I was like, yo, that shit
is gone. And the weight
had nothing to do with my body. It was the weight that
was lifted off my mind.
Once I was able to...
You look like Rakim right now.
Doggy Dom is the alternative.
Rakim.
Once I was able to alleviate...
I don't even need Rakim at this point, nigga.
We definitely need Rakim.
You do need Rakim.
Sorry, something like that.
But once I was able to alleviate the weight off my mind,
everything else started falling.
And that's why I try to tell people, certain shit grow into place, but sometimes you block your own blessing.
The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams
and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella.
I'll correct my kids now and then.
They'll say, when cave people were here
and I'll say it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West
and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
Listen to the American West with Dan Flores

Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

myself too seriously. That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard.

where motherfuckers think that they got to get high, but you really depressed, nigga.
When you come down off your high on your alcohol, you're still sad as a motherfucker,
so that's why you get high again.
Some people get high because they get high.
I respect that.
But the youth, I'm seeing dudes. The youth now youth I respect that But the youth I'm seeing dudes
The youth now is different
That's the point I'm making
They're doing a different type
Of getting high
They're doing a high
They're doing everything
To die
They're doing everything
Yeah yeah
They want to die
Yeah like I remember
I don't get high
I die
Because they say YOLO
They don't want to die
No why
Because they say YOLO right
They say you only live once right
But you only die once You live every day You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die You die

Those are the lean people
Lean
Mr. Lean people
We sell the lean though
Mr. Lean
But no one
Bustin'
Marijuana is great
Bustin'
Marijuana is great
I tell everybody
I tell everybody
I tell everybody
Get therapy
Get therapy Get therapy
I got therapy
Hell yeah
Therapy is not easy
For everybody to
Like acknowledge
Super thug is therapy
The reason why
I got therapy
My cousin right here
I think
How old was I?
14?
You got shot
14 years old
He got shot right in front of me
Wow
Like niggas shot at all of us
And hit him.
That's my first cousin.
We in the same room.
He got a sister.
He fucked with the sister.
I fucked with the other.
Like, that's how it goes.
So how do you as a child see all this traumatic shit and then act like everything is normal?
It's not normal for me to go outside and step in over dog shit.
It's not normal for niggas to dump blunt guts on the floor. It's not normal for niggas to dump
blunt guts on the floor.
It's not normal
for me.
That's what threw us out there.
Is that therapist white?
Yes, he was.
Yes, all right.
And then it was a black woman.
Thanks so much for your therapy.
And then it was a black woman.
It doesn't matter.
How did you eventually say,
I'm going to get a therapist
and how did you get a therapist?
Well, I realized.
Well, you already said how.
Why?
I realized,
yo, I realized one day, yo, I was sad as a therapist. Well, I realized. Well, you already said how. Why? I realized one day,
yo, I was sad as a motherfucker.
Right.
Yo, I was just completely sad.
And I used to conquer sadness.
But how do you know you're sad?
Because I'm crying.
That's a great question.
That's a great question.
Because you're crying.
You're literally crying too.
And what the fuck are you crying for?
So, your endorphins and your serotonin
is so low that you
can't even, you're just sad.
So when you're happy and you laugh,
you're releasing endorphins.
And that makes your serotonin level go up.
You ain't nothing funny no more.
Yo, tell them something.
You mad at the world? I remember I wanted to get a
tattoo like the crunch sign and I wanted
that shit to say mad at the world and I wanted the shit to get a tattoo like the crunch sign, and I wanted that shit to say mad at the world,
and I wanted the shit squeezed into earth.
You know what I'm saying?
I wanted that shit because I was just mad at everybody.
I didn't understand why is my mother not here?
They killed my best friend.
You know what I'm saying?
Like all this shit that I'm doing, I credit to him.
He's the first person to believe in me, and y'all killed him,
and I can't even kill a nigga who killed him.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I don't know who he is. You understand what I'm saying? I don't know where he is. So you said,
and you, and you try to drink it away. One thing with us, we try to drink it away. We try to smoke
it away. We try to fuck it away or we start oppressing people. So I had to say to myself,
like, Dan, look what I'm doing to people Cause I'm fucked up So
When I was going through my shit
I used to say
I would not wish
Depression on my worst enemy
Cause it was times
I contemplated jumping out the window
The only reason why I never jumped
Cause I had enough sense
To know that shit was gonna hurt
If I don't die
But how do you acknowledge
You have depression to start with?
Cause I started crying for nothing
Every day
So that's where you knew.
And I laid in bed for two years.
Okay.
Never got out of bed.
My ex-chick kicked me out
because she didn't understand.
And I,
at first I was like,
fuck her.
But then I kind of understand like,
maybe she wasn't strong enough
to go through that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I still say fuck you though,
but you know what I'm saying?
Maybe she wasn't strong enough
to go through that shit.
Right.
So.
You want to fuck her? Yeah, fuck her. Yeah, fuck her. Yeah, fuck her but you know what I'm saying? Maybe she wasn't strong enough to go through that shit. So you want to fuck her?
Yeah, fuck her.
Yeah, fuck her.
Yeah, fuck her.
You know what I'm saying?
Come on.
You don't have to jump into that one.
I want to jump in.
Yeah, yeah.
What's her name?
Let's just go out.
Her name is Bitch.
Her name is Bitch.
Her name is Bitch.
Charlie definitely likes her.
That's Charlie's best friend.
So from being depressed
Right
From the minute I met Charlie
I knew
A bitch hurt his feelings
Yeah
Yeah
You're so on point with that
From the minute I met him
He was like
Charlie there?
I hate bitches
So
So the reason why I suggest
Therapy EFN
Is because
If you tell
I went too far
No relax
If you tell your man something
In confidence
Your man got a man
Who got a man
Who got a man
Who got a man
Who got a man
Who got a man
Who got a homegirl
So now
The whole room told
You don't fucked up
You don't fucked up
But
And then when he get mad at you
He gonna be like
My nigga
But you the one who got left
At Hersey Park
When you was little And you still fucked up going to be like, my nigga, but you the one who got left at Hershey Park when you was little and you still fucked up off that.
You like, damn, my nigga, I told you.
So when they get angry, they put your business out there.
When you tell a therapist, they going to tell you how to cope with these things and they're never going to spread your business.
Suppose.
Amongst these people.
Yeah.
Because they can do case studies.
You know what I'm saying So I don't
It's not that I hold in shit
But I tell people
What I think they need to know
And if it's something
That's plaguing me
I will talk to a professional
Before I talk to somebody
Because
And niggas be pillow talking too man
You tell a nigga some shit
He done told his girl
Because that's his wife
And he think
Yo
Because I'll never tell a female
My man
Yo you know my man, but yo, you know
My man just broke up with his girl, right?
Fuck I'm telling you that for niggas be pillow talking
So I don't even like to certain niggas that I know I tell that niggas chick cuz he talked to his chick too much
I mean you gotta be the worst So I tell everybody
Get therapy
The shit that we seen
In the hood
A soldier
Would get diagnosed
With PTSD
Absolutely
Like
See
We all got PTSD
Definitely
We all
We all do
That's the problem
But
The shit made me violent
Like very very violent
Like we would go outside and say yo
No we would be like yo
Let's go fuck somebody up
That's serious
Let's go fuck somebody up
Let's go catch a rat
To let out that energy
And we would just go outside
And fuck anybody up
But I'll target
The Cheesecake Factory i don't know
about that i feel like you beat people up at the cheesecake factory bro yeah i don't think so
what the fuck is this i doubt it i'm just fucking yeah yeah so so the aggression was let out through
violence and we will only beat uh grown-ass men up, though.
We wouldn't fuck with women,
no elderly, no children.
But a grown-ass man,
you know, I'm the size,
I was this size when I was 18.
This exact weight and everything
when I was 18.
So I want to see if I hit hard.
So now it's like,
yo, you hit like a bitch.
You had to hit him twice To drop him
So now we having
Contests to see
Yo he got a one hitter quitter
My man Nut
He had a dead end
He had no feeling in his hand
Nigga like 14
Nigga punched
Nut punched concrete before right
Punched concrete in my face
So
When the music came though
This is what I love about hip hop When the music came though And this is what I love about hip hop
When the music bug hit us
That's when we stopped being so violent
Because now you in the studio
Now at 16 years old
I went to Sam Ash
And bought equipment
That's like
Sam Goody
Guitar center
It's more like guitar center
Yeah
So I went and bought equipment
So now I'm in the crib making beats all day
You know what I'm saying?
But when we not making beats we like
Yo let's go fuck somebody up and come back and do
This beat. Then it was like
Nah I'm not going to fuck nobody up because I don't
Know this equipment. This bitch is beating too. And when my
Friend got killed I would have been with him
If I wasn't in the crib making a beat
You know what I'm saying? Because we was inseparable
The only time we wasn't together was when That nigga was in the shower and't in the crib Making a beat You know what I'm saying Because we was inseparable The only time we wasn't together
Was when that nigga
Was in the shower
And I in the bathroom
And vice versa
But other than that
Again
He got a girl
She got a sister or friend
You go here
I go here
His mother was like
Yo y'all inseparable
You know what I'm saying
And I even picked out his clothes
That he wore in the casket
You know what I'm saying
And like I said
I found him in Brooklyn Hospital
Under sheet And I had to call his mother And tell her Yo Jouzy is dead And I don't know why I'm saying And like I said I found him in Brooklyn Hospital Under sheet
And I had to call his mother
And tell her your Jouzy is dead
And I don't know why
I found him
You understand what I'm saying
And this is when I'm
15, 16 years old
So ever since then
It's like
Yo
Somebody gotta get it
I don't know who
And then you start drinking
And you start doing shit
You start doing women wrong
And then you realize You're a part of shit You start doing women wrong And then you realize
You're a part of the problem
With women
Because
Me I was fat
I spit in a female face
I was fat
You know what I'm saying
You spit in a business face
I spit right in their face
And maybe four years ago
I called a female
That I spit on her face
And I told her I was sorry
Why
Because I did some shit
As a kid
Look I did some shit As a kid. Look, I did some shit as a kid.
And I'm a man now.
What happened?
And I have to atone for the shit that I did as a kid.
Because I spit into your face.
That shit could have psychologically fucked you up.
And again, going through what I'm going through,
I started to realize how I was oppressing certain people.
And how I did certain shit.
We beat this dude ass in front of a church.
And he was screaming.
And he had 50 cent in his pocket.
Two quarters in front of a church.
We whipped his ass on the church steps.
And I remember we used to
call it Form Voltron. Three of y'all go this
way, three of y'all go that way.
And we gonna meet him. So if he try to run that way, y'all right
there, we right there. And we beat his ass
he had 50 cent. And the screams always replay in my head. And ever since that day run that way, y'all right there, we right there. And we beat his ass. He had 50 cents. And the screams
always replay in my head.
And ever since that day,
I was like,
yo, I ain't doing this shit no more.
We can't be robbing niggas.
Let's go to Midtown
and rob the white people.
And we watched
Mississippi burning one day.
And that's when we was like,
yo, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Why are we doing this shit
to our people?
He had 50 cents.
Let's go to Midtown And then you go to
Midtown Manhattan
And Brooklyn
You know we dig pockets
You know what I'm saying
That's what we did
So we dig your pocket
We knew the payment
Diamond District
Yeah
We knew when you got paid
We knew when you got paid
And
What I like
Rip your whole fucking pocket off
You know what I'm saying
Rip your whole pocket off
And then my other man
Half rest in peace,
he started getting sophisticated.
He would go to the restaurant and go use the bathroom
and go to coat check.
The coats is hanging up and bang everybody's coat.
Brooklyn niggas, I ain't giving no crooklyn.
Y'all different type of granny.
This makes no sense for you.
Yeah, yeah.
I ain't even hear that.
But did you ever
have a male?
Nah, but I loved
his music so much.
Yo, I loved his music
so much.
It was the rhyme.
Now there's the
Green Wallys.
When he said that shit,
I said, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And then I found out
he was from Brooklyn.
I'm Brooklyn biased.
Yeah, you.
If you're a Brooklyn rapper,
I love you.
You should be.
Young, old.
You know what I'm saying
Young and old
I'm Brooklyn biased because
I know what it's like
To be
Grow up in that rough ass place
And
It is some pussy parts of Brooklyn
Like I never like when rappers be like
Yo we shooting a video in Brooklyn
And I be like
Yo where you at
And they be like
Yo we in Williamsburg
Nigga you ain't in Brooklyn
You in Williamsburg
Get the fuck out of here
That ain't
North Forth
That ain't Brooklyn Cut it out You in Williamsburg. Get the fuck out of here. That ain't North Forth. That ain't Brooklyn. Cut it out.
You know what I'm saying? Stop
doing that. All you rappers that come
say, yo, we shooting a video in Brooklyn.
If you're not on Fulton Street,
if you're not on Pickin', if you're not on
New Lots, if you're not on these
main avenues, you're not in Brooklyn.
I shot a video in front of
Cheesecake Factory. Was I a seafood, y'all?
Ain't no Cheesecake Factory in Brooklyn.
Junior's.
Junior's.
You're super seafood.
Was I seafood, y'all?
That's a landmark you're kind of supposed to, but it could get funky over there.
That's it.
You did it.
What year was this?
I'm about to do it tomorrow.
I'm fucking with you.
I'm fucking with you. Yeah. I'm fucking with you I'm fucking with you
I'm fucking with you
Holy moly guacamole
Yo
You're my
I want to say this
Cherry Colorado
Let's make sure
Cherry Colorado
Before I go there
I do have to say one thing
Yes please
To a lot of my
Friends who passed away
This shit is dedicated to y'all, me being here.
So that's Jouzy, that's Hav, that's Tank, that's Roach.
I want to pick up JB.
Cool V.
It's so many that I lost,
but these are the people that I mentioned.
They used to always say,
yo, do that shit, do that say Yo Do that shit Do that shit
Do that shit
Media
Yeah
Media
Everything
Because I never wanted to get on camera
I was forced to get on camera
Well how is that
How is that
Well
Again
You are your brand
Your face is your brand
Right
So niggas used to say
Yo Forbes what up
I'd be like
Fuck he talking to me
My name ain't Forbes
I'm doggy Tom
And Forbes is you in
MREC
So I felt like I didn't have an identity
Wow So what made you one of the two So I felt like I didn't have an identity.
Wow.
So what made you one of the two? So I seen people coming in the game, and they was getting opportunity because they had a name and an identity, but they was calling me Forbes.
So I felt like I had to get my own identity.
I had to be Doggy Diamond.
I'm not Forbes.
It's like Smack is not Smack.
That's the name of the DVD.
You understand what I'm saying?
We call him Sub-Zero, but his name is Freeze. But Fendi is Fendi, and the come-up DVD is the come of the DVD You understand what I'm saying? We call him Sub-Zero But his name is Freeze
But Fendi is Fendi
And the come up DVD
Is the come up DVD
He branded himself
You understand what I'm saying?
That's why Fendi used to be
On every DVD
He's dropping knowledge
You understand what I'm saying?
So I realized
You can get swallowed
Into your brand
And then one day
If you sell your brand
You can't be Forbes no more
Because you sold it
But Doggy Diamonds
Live forever
You know what I'm saying
So that's the reason
Why you brand yourself
You don't call yourself
Your brand
Not unless your name
And your brand
That's why my shit is called
Doggy Diamonds
No filter
You know what I'm saying
And I've learned to have
A little filter
Because
I used to hurt a lot
Of niggas feelings man
Niggas used to be
Calling and crying man
Niggas be calling and crying
Yo man He said that, he went at Flex.
You can't go at Flex.
I'm like, but why not, though?
A nigga's a man.
Everybody's a man, and none of us is above correction.
All right, let's get into it.
Why did you go at Flex?
Because he was defending Mr. C.
I broke the Mr. C story when he got caught with the old train.
That nigga did it
a couple times.
Yeah,
the only reason
why I broke the story,
I'm going to tell you
why I broke the story.
I broke the story.
I caught him wrecked.
It was a website
called Diary of a Street King.
And they had the mugshot
and all that shit
of Mr. C
with the fun boy.
You know what I'm saying?
Behind y'all was crazy. Yeah? So I call Rec and I say,
yo, I just seen this
Mr. C shit. Should I put it out?
Put that shit out.
I put it out. I tweeted it.
And I always tell people it's not
about followers. It's who follows you.
You can have
10,000 nobody. You got 10,000 bucks
I got
I got important people
That watch me
I don't have a lot
Of followers
But I got a following
It's a difference
You know what I'm saying
So
When the Mr. C shit broke
I put that shit out
And it started
It started
Explaining his behavior
To me
Cause he used to act
Like a real fucking sucker
You know what I'm saying
So I used to be like Oh that he used to act like a real fucking sucker. You know what I'm saying?
So I used to be like,
oh, that's why he act like a bitch.
Because he like,
he like fun boys.
So you have to realize,
when you have people in these power positions and they live in the closets,
and you say certain things in songs,
they not playing that shit
because you offending them.
So when everybody was like
Mr. C didn't do that shit
I went at Ed Lover
I went at Moni Love
Like when they was defending Africa
He is a Brooklyn nigga
And let's be clear
Who's a Brooklyn nigga?
Mr. C
You said you defend Brooklyn
I can't defend that type of Brooklyn
You on Broadway?
Nah
I can't defend that
And Mr. C
The posse's not on Broadway?
Who?
The posse's not on Broadway? Who? You got caught two times.
The posse's not on Broadway?
Nah, that's some other shit.
The posse's on Broadway.
Hold up, but look at this.
My thing was this.
It wasn't even the fact that he was a fun boy.
It was the fact that,
nigga, you did criminal activity.
And when we do criminal activity,
we get blown up.
We go to jail.
And that's the same shit with Vlad.
And I'm glad.
Hold on, let me go back to this.
If Doggy Diamond says some shit,
I have no business saying it.
They go after my investors and sponsors.
They try to cut my lifeline so I can't eat.
You're going to lose a shoe deal.
You're going to lose a sponsor.
You're going to lose all that shit if you do something.
People mad at Vlad and academics, but they're funded by Complex.
Why nobody say nothing about Complex?
Why nobody go after their investors and their sponsors?
When it's me, you're going to cut my lifeline.
So when Vlad say, yo, what the fuck about y'all niggas?
I'm funded by, I know who giving me my check.
We got to go after the money because they who giving me my check. We gotta go after
the money
because they always
go after our money.
We gotta put pressure
on our money.
When Ice-T
made Cop Killer,
where they went?
To Warner.
Time Warner.
Exactly.
Yep.
Warner, yeah.
Which when G-Rap
made the album
Warner Dead or Alive,
he had a song
when they were
about shooting the cops.
Warner Brothers
Dropped Cold Chilling
They had to put
The album out independent
We don't go after the money
Because we don't know
About money
We do nigga shit
Oh I hate him
You think he'd give a fuck
About us if he's still funded
He told us to our face
Give a fuck about your money
His living ain't changed
Yeah
He'd give a fuck
And I don't give a fuck
How much black pussy
You get

So who's funding this?
Who paid for this here?
Oh, no, I'm going after you.
I'm going to cut his lifeline.
With us, we'd be mad at the motherfucker.
They'd be like, yo, I'm still picking up a check every two weeks.
Y'all could be mad at who the fuck you want.
Did you vote for Kanye?
No, why would I vote for Kanye?
I didn't vote for Kanye either.

That's what he said.
So when your mother died, because she's trying to live this Hollywood life out of your mouth.
I'm not saying this about his mom.
Condolences to him and his mother.
That's what you said.
How are you not going to go crazy if you partly feel responsible while your mother died?
So what you got to do, do Gotta go sit on somebody's couch
Talk to somebody that's a professional
Because we don't have coping mechanisms
That's what we all lack
Coping mechanisms
Again, you step on my shoe
It could have been a mistake
Why did I have to shoot you?
Now I'm in jail for 10 to 20 years
Because you stepped on my shoe
When I leave my house I never say Okay crib, I'll see y'all Now I'm in jail for 10 to 20 years because you stepped on my shoe. When I leave
my house, I never say, okay, crib, I'll see y'all later. I'm going to jail because I'm gonna go
outside and kill somebody. The most rewarding thing is when you walk in the house and take
your fucking shoes off and put that key in the door. That's the most rewarding thing when you
leave. You don't say, all right, dishes, don't worry, somebody's gonna wash you because I'm
about to go to jail because I'm stabbing somebody Or yo I'm going to die You the most rewarding thing
You could ever do in your life
Is put your key in the door
And walk in your home
Every day you leave your home
Always envision
Coming back home
That's what I do
When you turn to your driveway
Don't you be like
You hit that garage door
You like yeah
I made it.
Because we in a war zone.
The black man is, we're hunted.
Everybody hates us.
The fucking, some of our own women hate us.
Other black men hate us.
I asked you this earlier.
I'm going to ask you it again.
Go ahead.
Do you really think that being a rapper is the most dangerous job in the world?
I think being a black man is the most dangerous job in the world? I think being a black man is the most dangerous job because Tamir
Rice wasn't a rapper.
J. Ron Martin wasn't a rapper.
And hold up.
Niggas talking about rappers. Where the fuck
is y'all rhymes at though? Where y'all albums? Where y'all
songs? All I see y'all dick eating
on motherfucking Instagram.
All I see niggas dick eating
on Instagram And going live
Where's the music
That's what I'm saying
Once the music stop
All this shit is over
Cause that's what
Brought us together
Not your fucking
Not these niggas
With these podcasts
And these shows
Nigga you
First of all
A lot of y'all niggas
Is rehashing my story
So let's just get that straight
Because a lot of niggas
You talk to
I already talked to
them so when Petey Crack goes on Vlad and say Jay-Z heard Cam shit and cut the fucking shit
off where you heard that first why you think Jay-Z why you think Jay the Kid said like Philly you
over there drooling Petey Crack said that in my interview I asked him what's the Philly slang
right after that he says that.
You understand what I'm saying?
So if you do music, if you rap, rap.
You could get into other ventures.
But we love you because of your music.
And that's why you got all the followers.
And when you drop shit, nobody gives a fuck.
Because they'd rather see you than hear you.
Because you became a fucking clown.
And I don't fuck with clowns.
You know why?
Because when the clown paint get on you, you a fucking clown. And I don't fuck with clowns, you know why?
Because when the clown paint get on you,
you a clown too.
Now, beat this.
You're married, right?
So, your wife is right there.
So, if you get...
Trying to go home.
Yeah, look, so look, if you get around a woman,
if you get around a woman and you get around a woman And you hug her
I don't hug women that I'm not dating, first and foremost
You don't hug no women
I don't hug no women that I'm not dating, no
Don't hug women that I don't date
I don't hug women because the shit feel good
And I feel it's very intimate
Because you a horny nigga
No, I think
No, look, hugging
I can feel your fucking heartbeat
No, that's not true Because in Latino culture, we can hug everybody.
But I'd be pumping the brakes on that shit, because you can't be hugging me and kissing me on my teeth.
So let's say that.
That's because you're not Latino.
Let's go.
So let's say that, right?
You hug a woman, she kiss you on the cheek.
Her lipstick is on you.
She's pregnant.
No, no.
She kiss you on the cheek, her lipstick is on you. When you go home She kissed you on the cheek Her lipstick is on you
Right
When you go home to your wife
And say I hugged somebody
And they kissed me
You think she'd believe that shit
If she's Colombian
She probably would
But my thing is this
When you got lipstick
On your collar
EFM
When you got lipstick
On your collar
How did you get so
But I'm just saying
If you got lipstick on you
And makeup on you
Because a lot of women
Be kicked the fuck out
How you got that on you Most people are going to be mad So if you got lipstick on you and makeup on you, because a lot of women be kicked the fuck out. How you got that on you?
So if you a nigga and you got clown paint on you, you was around fucking clowns.
And clown shit rub off on niggas.
He was prepared.
You know what I'm saying?
He was prepared.
You know what I'm saying?
He was prepared.
So when I see niggas, when I see people doing clown shit, if you my man, I don't go to the internet, I go to you.
I hit you and I say, yo, you wildin' right now.
You wildin'.
Roll up?
How you gonna crush up and not roll up?
I tell people, you know what I'm saying?
I tell people, I don't go to the internet.
I say to niggas, when you go to the internet, you ain't serious, man.
If you say you pulled a gun out on me
If you say you did certain shit
You told the internet
You're fucking lying
No nigga has ever
Pulled a gun out on me in my life
And they're still living
That's a fucking fact
Or they didn't shoot
So if you pulled a gun out on me
What happened after that?
I got your number
And we're friends
How'd I get your number?
That's another story That's another story.
That's another story.
But who I just kicked in the ass,
he know I'm talking about him.
He know I'm talking about him.
Because I don't give bum niggas life.
You understand what I'm saying?
Again, you're not a worthy opponent.
I'm going to help you.
You can't help me.
You're struggling.
Do we need some noise over here?
Niggas are struggling.
Yeah, go ahead. Let's make some noise in there? Niggas are struggling.
Yeah, got it.
Because this is such real talk.
I don't know where you're going, man.
This is such real talk because we, you know, I got people, every time you see me, I'm really
always by myself.
Yeah.
So niggas be thinking I'm by myself.
I'm not by myself.
Right?
I really have a lot of niggas And I got a big family
Predominantly men
And when people see shit
About me on the internet
They love me
They be like
Yo hold on
Don't that nigga
Know niggas are pushes
And I be like
And I be saving
I be like nah
My cousin tell me all the time
Yo
You know we not gonna listen
To you after a while right
You can't be saving niggas
But my thing is
That nigga is dumb
He has a death wish
The universe gonna take care of him
Somebody gonna kill him
It don't gotta be us
Somebody's gonna kill him
Some niggas got a death wish
Nori
Historically
Everybody who I told you

This is what I'm telling you.
I used to say,
you're right, you're correct.
That nigga is bad news, man.
You're correct.
The shit niggas be doing
think it's cute,
but the same shit
that make you laugh
make you cry.
When you smile,
if you turn it this way,
that's a friend.
You know what I'm saying?
So the shit niggas be thinking Is cute and funny
Somebody don't think
That shit is funny
Okay
I just want to
Throw this out there
Yo
But by the way
Doggy Diamonds
You killed it
We might
We might Put your shit somewhere else
because your shit, you Malcolm X'd it.
I just got to give the homie, the big homie.

and free my brother Snike.
Free my brother Snike
and free my brother Turf Diamond.
God bless them.
They've been on, Turf is locked up
for something that he didn't do.
Been locked up for 18 years.
And I went to
see him and Sherm the Worm is right there
on the visiting floor.
I'm like, oh shit, Sherm, what up?
So, you know, if you
have a comrade in prison
that J-Pay,
if you say, yo, bro, what's up? Is that like Cash App? Yeah, it is,-Pay If you say yo bro what's up
Is that like Cash App?
Yeah it is
But just saying yo bro what's up
That shit will make their whole day
Some of our comrades have been in prison
And when I go see Turf
He's smiling
And I say bro
This is the happiest prisoner I ever met
You know what he told me though
He said yo
He was in defense jail
He would call me
And he was more happier than me
I said how can I ever have a bad day
Yeah
This motherfucker
Right here
Team B
He would call me
Yo what's up
Team B was the happiest guy
Calling from jail bro

I swear to God
I've never met the most
Happiest person from jail
But when I went When I went to see him I get excited to hear from jail, bro. Yes, yeah. I swear to God. I never met the most happiest person from jail.
But when I went to see him.
I get excited to hear from y'all.
Yeah, man. Listen, when I went to see him, he's been in jail for 18 years.
Wow.
And when I went to see him, he was so happy to see me.
And he said, little bro, yo, you doing that shit?
And he told me, leave that street shit alone, man.
He told me, leave that street shit alone, man. He told me, leave that street shit alone.
He told me, don't worry about the streets.
The streets is the easy part for us.
The hard part is
getting in that game and finagling it
and creating jobs
for people. So, when your man
come home, you're supposed to say, yo, hun,
I don't want to give you money
because if you give a man fish,
you're not teaching him
how to fish.
I want to give you,
I want to employ you.
I want to be able
to put you on paper
to get them boys
to give you a parole board.
Be able to write a letter
for you because I got
a letterhead and an LLC.
You know what I'm saying?
Niggas be giving their man
money and sneakers
and now he's trying
to rob you in three months
and say,
that nigga only gave me
money and sneakers. Stop giving your man money and sneakers. now he's trying To rob you in three months And say that nigga Only gave me money and sneakers
Stop giving your man
Money and sneakers
Give him a fucking job
And if you've been
Out here bullshitting
Then you a fucking bum
Cause I'm tired of bums
Truthfully
I'm tired of fake
Companies
I'm tired of these
Scamming niggas
That tag your favorite
Artist
I'm tired of all that shit
All that shit
Is some scam shit too
I'm tired of all that shit I'm tired of all that shit You know what I is some scam shit, too. I'm tired of all that shit.
I'm tired of all that shit.
You know what I'm saying? But I didn't mean to take over the show.
No.
It's just that
I got
25 years
of pent up shit that I
can say on my platform, but
I'm amongst family and friends
and I'm able to speak freely
without being
censored, oppressed, and anything.
You know what I'm saying? Nothing's censored here.
And I want to also, I got to shout out Charlemagne
the God. The reason why I got to shout out
Charlemagne, because Charlemagne
did something for me
that I felt
other people should have did.
And he squashed the potential beef
in a war that could have happened.
With who?
With Tax Stone.
Charlamagne squashed that.
He called me on the phone and said,
yo, Tax, wanna talk?
And I was beyond talking at one point
to where I just,
I was just dumb.
And when I called you,
you said, Black Lives Matter. I was, man, I just hung up. Don't when I called you You said black lines matter
I was man
I just hung up
Don't try to talk sense into me
Because
I just wasn't
You can't talk sense into me
I'm angry
You know once you get attacked
And I helped with that situation
Over there
Combat Jack hit me
It was like yo
Cause you helped me with this promo
And I did it
I don't fuck with him neither though
You know what I'm saying
I don't fuck with him neither You know what I know what I'm saying? I don't fuck with him neither.
You know what I'm saying?
I asked that man, yo, this man is attacking me.
That's your man.
Yo, could you mediate this shit?
You know what I'm saying?
Because this shit going to get stupid.
Everybody act like it was funny.
And I'm like, okay.
And Charlamagne hit me and said, yo, he want to talk to you.
And I said, yo, let's talk.
And when I talked to him
Me and Matt just had a
Genuine ass conversation
And we realized
How much we Brooklyn niggas
You don't give a fuck
And neither do I
We not supposed to clash
You Brooklyn
And I felt like
I gave him some information
I felt like I gave him
Some information
That he could've carried
That he could've carried
With himself
But you know It was just It was just unfortunate His events it was just unfortunate his events and all the things that happened.
But Charlemagne spearhead that.
I was like, yo, I didn't grow up with Charlemagne.
He don't got to stop nothing.
He don't got to do that.
You know what I'm saying?
All these Brooklyn niggas that know both of us, and they're watching this shit happen.
You know what I'm saying So if you beef with somebody that I know
Nah nah nah
Because if it's yellow tape on the floor
I know the dead person
I'm going to grieve regardless of what
So if it was no bloodshed
If it was just word
And then you go on Vlad TV
And call me a cop
In front of a cop
So that's why I was really mad
I'm like hold up
How you calling me a cop
And then when he explained to me
Why he called me that
I was like come on bro
You know you ain't supposed to do that
You're not supposed to do that
You know what I'm saying
But he apologized to me
And he publicly apologized
Because I don't do public disrespect
And private apologies We don't do public disrespect and private apologies.
We don't do that.
You know what I'm saying? If I disrespect
you publicly and I'm
wrong, again,
I will always say, yo,
my bad. That don't make
me pussy, that make me a man.
Because I'm not always right.
You know what I'm saying? And again,
I'm one of the baby cousins of my cousins.
And I still got to listen to my older cousins.
I don't care if I got more money than them, more stature.
But this is what I try to tell people.
Because niggas be letting little niggas run them because he got money.
You're just a sucker with money.
You're just a little bitch with money.
You know what I'm saying?
And how you going to call a nigga younger than you your OG? I never did that shit in my life. I never called no little nigga with money. You know what I'm saying? And how you going to be, how you going to call a nigga younger than you your OG?
I never did that shit
in my life.
I never called
no little nigga my OG.
And I don't even call
them little niggas no more
because once they shoot,
he a man now.
He going to a man jail.
You know what I'm saying?
But I be saying,
niggas, yo, my OG.
I'm like, yo,
that nigga called
a 30-year-old his OG?
That nigga 50?
You know what I'm saying?
And I still got OGs.
Shout out to Cook.
Shout out to Fats.
That'll call me and say,
Lil Bro, what the fuck are you doing?
And I'll be like,
I...
Can I get some water?
This is drinking.
Let's take it up.
I love what you went.
Let's be positive.
No, I ain't positive.
Take it up.
I ain't positive.
So can we talk about the rap radar story?
Please.
Why did they say,
well, it was B-Dot, right?
That was like,
you stole their shit, basically.
Why did he say that?
Stole what?
Yeah, he wouldn't be doing podcasts
if it wasn't for them.
I mean, I don't think, I mean, I can't speak for him.
But Rap Raider had nothing.
Rap Raider had nothing to do with us doing podcast.
This had all to do with him,
but our perspective would be that said,
and I know exactly who he's talking about.
It's a tweet.
And he said that. Because.
Cause they brought you on the show and everybody liked your episode.
We did it then.
And then everybody was, then, then.
We were already formulating our shit, dude.
So that, so that was, you know.
Respect, Reginaldgie I'm sorry Reggie
We did it better man
That was it
We just did it better bro
But you know what though
Why in media sometimes
And let me tell you something
I love B-Dot
I love B-Dot
And I love Elliot AndDot. We need to have the camaraderie. I love B-Dot and I love Elliot.
And I taught Elliot to relax.
Like, I taught Elliot, relax, bro.
Like, I don't need to be, like, we're in our own zone.
We're in our own zone.
I don't need to diss you.
I don't need to diss you.
I don't need to.
We're in our own zone, bro.
But that's what
in the beginning
they thought
it was a competition
they thought it was
a competition
and I had to let them
know I'm running
my own zone
and B-Dot gave me
one of the most
best compliments ever
B-Dot said
I'm a real fan
and when he said that
it bothered me
so I had to go back into my real bag and be a real fan.
I said, you can't have that on there.
You can't have it.
You're a real fan.
I respected on B-Dot when they interviewed Jay-Z.
I felt like he was really trying to ask Jay-Z questions.
Elliot Wilson was kiki and laughing too much, man.
That shit started pissing me off.
Nah, man.
I ain't gonna lie.
I like that interview.
B-Dot was asking him these questions.
I like that interview.
I can tell when they was editing it.
Because we get into...
You know, that was in Malibu House and so on.
Yeah, because we get...
You know, you gotta think.
Interviewers, we under a lot of criticism.
Because niggas want to know Why you ain't asking this
Why you ain't asking that
Sometimes we have to answer that shit
You know what I'm saying
Now every interview that I did
I never wrote interview questions down
Never
Not one time
It's all a flow
It's all a conversation
I know when to probe
I know when to back off
I can see when people get uncomfortable
I say damn
That shit kind of bothered him a little bit I'm not going to talk about that no more And I know when to back off I can see when people Get uncomfortable I say damn Like he That shit kind of Bother him a little bit
I'm not going to talk
About that no more
And I know when to go
Other places with him
So
Like when you interview Nas
They was as mad
As a motherfucker at you
Like yo
He ain't asked Nas this
He ain't asked that
It was a different type
Of experience man
People don't understand that
Nah I would like to address this
Can I?
See how they
See how I turn it
As my interview now?
There's no filter now.
Address that.
Because people was mad as hell.
We never go to anybody.
Tonight, you came to us.
Correct?
Facts, yeah.
At that time, Nas was our brother.
We went to him.
It was not the right thing to do.
Then when we actually interviewed the actual interviewer,
it was in his space.
We didn't want that.
Is Nas my friend? Of course.
That's the reason why he tuned in to three different dream camps.
He's just
Tuning in
But if I had a chance
To do it over
I would never
Ever do it again
You would ask him
Different questions
Or you would do
The same thing
No I wouldn't ask him
Different questions at all
I would ask him
The same questions
But in our
Environment
Got you
And that's it
That's not his fault
That's not my fault
It was just sweet
We had business together It's great for what it was fault. It was just sweet. We had business together.
It's great for what it was.
It's great for what it was.
They had business together.
I was happy to see him talk.
No, but we had people out there.
My bro Deuce just came home.
It was just like,
I was a producer that day.
How do you deal with the scrutiny, though?
I love it.
You love it?
Okay.
How do you deal with the scrutiny? Okay How you deal with the studio?
How you feel?
Now to me
I didn't
Let me tell you something
That interview
Made us
I don't know if that
You mean Nas?
No I'm not saying
Made us
But I'm saying
It made us
Like
You know what made y'all?
Bigger You know what made y'all Bigger
You know what made y'all
Uh
Karis won in it
What happened
With the Africa Bambaataa shit
Yes
Really
Karis once said
I don't give a fuck
And I
But you know that was
Now you
Now you gotta remember
The Africa Bambaataa thing
That was terrible
Look
That was terrible
The Africa Bambaataa
No no
It wasn't terrible on his part
It was
It was
It was intercept on his part.
It was intercepted by everybody else.
Let's be clear.
He didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.
Yeah, he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.
It was terrible.
This nigga's good.
Look, the African Bambaataa thing, that's the story that I broke, too.
So when you ask him about it, and he say he don't give a fuck,
I don't know if that's necessarily true that he don't know about it.
That's all I'm going to say about that.
Nah, he didn't know about it That's all I'm going to say about that Nah he didn't know about it Alright
No no
I don't think he's saying
I don't think
I think what he's saying is that
He didn't know
The story broke
That's what you're saying
He didn't know the story broke
Okay
Cause no no no
You might say that he knew
But he didn't know the story broke
But he knew Africa Bambada
Was fucking with
I mean I don't
Going too far, doggy.
I'm going to tell you...
Well, I can't say why,
because one of the people was deceased.
He know, nigga.
I'm not going to put that on nobody.
He knew.
He knew.
Because...
Remember, I interviewed all the victims.
I interviewed all the victims.
And they told me
somebody from BDP was in the room too.
I'm going to take a picture right now.
Nah, I got nothing for you.
So that wasn't really, that really wasn't like no industry secret.
Like everybody knew that though.
There was finger popping going on.
Well, I don't know about no finger popping.
They was doing some weirdo shit.
Yeah, like that shit is,
that wasn't no industry secret.
Like all the motherfuckers knew,
you know what I'm saying?
So,
what it is,
again,
it's the elephant in the room.
I walk in the room
and see an elephant,
I'm like,
oh shit,
an elephant.
And nigga's like,
and nigga's like,
what elephant?
I don't see no elephant.
I'm gonna look at y'all funny.
Right.
Cause the elephant shit
gonna be this high
first and foremost.
You gonna smell it
and that nigga's big. So hip-hop unfortunately when we do things wrong many of us turn a blind's
eye instead of checking your man that's what i like to be i like to do to call my man and say yo
before niggas kill you you need to chill right because you're gonna get killed yeah you're gonna
get killed you know what i'm saying you're gonna get killed so with that shit but then you gotta yo not to get real deep on him but we've
been deep listen the pedophile thing that shit runs so far and deep with a lot of shit bro
yes really yes i'm ready to take my wife So far and deep with a lot of shit, bro. In hip hop, bro? Yes. Really? Yes.
I'm ready to take my wife.
Hold up, bro.
I want to hear this shit.
All right.
With all due respect, how old was Aaliyah when people was fucking with her?
No, absolutely.
We already knew that that was.
Wow.
That's pedophilia.
And you're absolutely right.
Hip hop accepted it, which is crazy.
That's pedophilia. Yeah. How absolutely right. Hip hop accepted it, which is crazy. That's pedophilia.
Yeah.
How many people did songs with R. Kelly?
I did a song with R. Kelly, but I was fucked up.
I was 36 years old though.
And you knew that nigga was a pedophile.
Don't say that out loud, man.
I didn't know if I knew he was a pedophile.
You fuck outta here.
But I did take the check.
It was also 36,000.
That's all. 36, also $36,000.
$36,000?
Yo, yo.
What's up with the song We Ride?
I love that song.
That's my only record with Jay Z.
So the point I'm making is that if he shit that niggas be knowing, niggas will just turn
a blinds eye to that shit.
It's like when a nigga man a snitch.
What do you say?
He ain't tell on me.
Oh.
But you still a snitch though. The niggas will be like do you say? He ain't tell on me. Oh.
But you still a snitch though. Them niggas be like, yo, he ain't even tell on me.
Why?
You understand what I'm saying?
So you can't always turn a blind eye to shit.
You gotta correct your man.
Real shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Real shit.
What the hell you drinking?
I'm drinking Vogue.
Why, you gonna have a drink after 16 years?
Not gonna drink.
No.
Never.
I had Cormega drink.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
A sip.
Shout out to Cormega.
Cormega called me one day, and he talked me off the ledge when I was going through some
turbulent times.
See, I seek counsel.
When I'm going through shit, I seek counsel.
I call people who have been
through shit and know shit.
And anybody who ever
tell you something
that's going to risk
your freedom or your life
is not your friend.
Why?
Anybody that ever tell you,
Yo, go kill that nigga.
Yo, if that was me,
I would kill him.
That's not your man.
I called my brother.
I called my cousin one day.
I was going to stab this nigga in the Lenox Center.
That was your cousin?
No, I called my cousin because I was going to stab this nigga.
Jesus, please.
And he said to me, go home.
Go home.
Great cousin.
Yeah, because he knows that I stabbed him, but he also knows that I threw my life away.
And he's done after that.
So he told me, go home.
Go home.
Go home.
You know what I'm saying?
I respect the cause.
So I called Colmega one day, and I say, yo, Colmega, I'm going to...
Because Colmega defended me in that situation with the tax on shit.
Colmega defended me.
He publicly said something.
What did he say?
He said, Doggy Diamond's always beneficial to me, and I got 20-20 vision.
So people started saying, Omega said he's official, he's official.
I'm like, hold up.
So I love it.
So then I called Omega, and I was like, yo, Omega, man, I don't know if I could just chill.
And he said, yo, a lot of responsibility comes with power.
And he said, you got power
to make shit happen in the street.
Just know
how responsible you gotta be now.
So yeah, I
could call, you know, some of,
you know, I could call,
but now one of them could lose their life and go to jail.
I got to think about that too.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's my first cousin.
That's his son right there and his younger brother.
So if I call my first cousin out and something happened to my first cousin, what the fuck am I going to tell his son?
That I was mad and I couldn't control myself?
Or I couldn't put myself. Or I couldn't
put in my own work.
Fuck, I got many
noise today.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I used
to tell niggas too.
Yo, stop being
the crash test dummy,
my nigga.
Stop being the dummy.
Please,
have some cherries.
Cherries is not real.
Have some cherries.
Yeah, the cherries is not real. Cherries is not real. Have some cherries. Cherries is not real.
Cherries is not real.
Here we go.
I want to look, focus on the camera, and tell the camera that not only Doggy Diamonds is one of my favorite interviewers.
You said I was the best, too.
He's the best interviewer.
And I fuck with him, I love him, and I follow him.
And if y'all don't, then that's on y'all.
And I love anybody that could call me and admit their errors.
And when Nori hit me one day and said, yo, I haven't been a good friend to you.
I kind of didn't know what he was talking about.
And then when he explained it, I wasn't really mad at it because I wasn't mad at him.
But it made me draw closer to him because he didn't have to do that.
You know what I'm saying?
He didn't have to do that.
And the fact that he did that made me happy because I was like, yo, I got my bro back.
You know what I'm saying? And he realized something that
he didn't even do nothing wrong, but
he felt like it was error in his, you know,
in him. So I thought
that was dope. And we've been
talking ever since, you know what I'm saying? Just building,
you know what I'm saying? But I respect the man's busyness.
I respect his business. And I'm
happy for him, you know what I'm saying?
Because we do have to go
to different stages in our life. And this is a different different stage I want him to do choruses again so cuz
