It's DJ E-F-N. And this is Drink Champs. Yappy hour. Make some noise! Now, this brother here, I don't know how he don't have a Drink Champs chain. He was one of our first guests. He trusted us. Not the first. He put, because he was a little nervous when we started talking, but he stuck with us.

This is like his 12th, 10th episode on Drink Champs. One of my favorite people in the world. I've never called this brother, but He's never not let me down. If he can't do it, he'll tell me he can't do it. And if he can do it, he'll do it even if he don't want to do it. You don't find friends like that. You don't find family like that. You don't find that.

And besides, he's a legend. Besides, he got his own show. Besides, he got his daughter executive producing his own show. That's right. He's coming here with new jewelry, new ice, all for the Turks and Caicos getaway. What's the fact? He's the sneaker legend.

Awesome. That's right. Don't compare your sneakers to Fat Joe. He has stores worth of sneakers. That's right. In case you don't know who we're talking about, we're talking about the impeccable Phil Joe. Thank you.

So, I'm going to start off with a somewhat awkward question, right? Somewhat awkward. And it's something I never ask you. It might be I'm not going to say the person's name, right? You can say the person's name. But we're playing Fat Joe, right? Oh. You want to write to that? You were playing Fat Joe?

We're playing Fat Joe. This is what we do. Because you're my brother, I still have to do the same studies as everybody else because I want to do justice. So, at one point, this guy, Rick, he keeps... your old stuff, this guy keeps appearing. So we're running crazy.

So fast forward, thinking you can walk in. Thinking you can walk in. So what is that like when you listen to your old music and the guy's on a record that you don't mess with no more? Me? Yeah. You know, I'm not not gonna lie to you um like you said i just came off the turks and keikos vacation for my daughter's 15th birthday i never listened to one fat joe not even sunshine really yeah you know i like mostly uh when i listen to an album right i'll be telling people

like i'll tell rich like yo it's the first time I heard this in 10 years. Really? Yeah, really. I just be like, you know, and I know it must feel weird, like, I don't really listen to my shit, but there's plenty of guys I don't like, and there's guys I like. We can't erase the past.

Okay. You know what I'm saying? And we move to the future. I mean, we can't erase the past. Right. You know what I'm saying? And who to the future I mean we can't erase the past You know what I'm saying And who's the guy What are you talking about He keeps coming up in records No listen we playing old fat Joe

Old pun and just so We had to forward two or three times It's going to be a good thing If Joe walks through Would you have been upset if you walked in on that I don't like to hear him No I wouldn't be upset It's just be a play. If Joe walks through her... Would you have been upset if you walked in on that? I don't like to hear him. So you would have been upset. So you would have.

No, I wouldn't be upset. It's just he's a bum. This was the subject. Just the music. I was just... Damn, I didn't know this was going to go there. Yeah, you did. I know what that is.

That's what it is. I was asking. Okay, big pun. A plaza. That's right. That was a pun. That was a pun right there. That's...

Thanks a lot for the pun. How great is it to film? that was fun that was fun right there how great is it to feel just to be able to visit big point plaza you know it's so great all right hey yo hazardous sound hold up one second want to make sure people know not to miss the new hbo max original comedy series that damn Damn Michael Che, starring no other than Michael Che himself, featuring celebrity guests like Omari Hardwick, Colin Jost, Billy Porter, and Method Man and others. That Damn Michael Che explores Michael's perspective on everyday situations, including racial profiling, unemployment, falling in love, and more. that damn michael che now on hbo max let's go let's get back into it nori what it's beyond great i've been trying right to ask people to give big pun a street

for fucking 20 years right and i don't want to go into too deep, but, you know, they wouldn't let us get a big plum block. Me just minding my own business, not with the family and all that, because of issues I don't want to talk about. Yeah, you don't have to. You know what I'm saying?

And so every year they kept trying to get them a block. They wouldn't give them a block because the whole board would be like Nah, you know You know, he got this on him And so it's so disingenuous When you hear people say Oh, Joe ain't tried this and that

No, y'all actually know Even though I don't rock with y'all That I tried for 20 years To get this man this block Like, you know, Ruben Diaz, the Bronze World President Is one of my best friends y'all that I tried for 20 years to get this man, this block. Like, you know, Ruben Diaz, the Bronx world president's one of my best friends and I've been begging him for 20 and all of them. But every time it went up, the boy would be like, yo, you know, you know, he has a situation. So they wouldn't do it. And, um, and finally, thank God they acknowledged him and they

gave him the block. And then it became the biggest thing that. So I wanted to. My thing is about good energy and positive energy. And the man deserves a fucking bridge. Forget a block, a bridge. He's the greatest Latino rapper of all time. And so what happens is, you know, I didn't want to go up there with that whack energy. I'm not fake.

There's nothing fake about me. I don't know how to be fake. I can't be with you if you're a billionaire and I don't really like you. I can't do it. Me, I stick with my real. You know what I'm saying? So I wasn't going to go over there, bad energy, me on this side, this guy on this side. And imagine somebody would have said some shit that would have got them beat up in front of everybody on Big Pun Day.

Right? It would have been an ugly thing. It would have said was, let me label big pun day that day. No, I'm just saying. I understand what you're saying. It's big pun. We would have went over there and we'd have been over there like we'd have been over there like this. Right. You know, like it would have just looked crazy. Would it look awkward? So, you know, would it took away from the occasion? And would it the whole energy was supposed to be blessing upon praising, because, you know. Would it take away from the occasion? Would it? The whole energy was supposed to be blessing Pun, praising Pun, loving Pun.

Plus, besides that, we're not totally welcomed by his family and, you know. But here's the deal, right? You know, me being Pun's friend as well, I'm jealous sometimes when I see that, you know, there could be a Biggie documentary. There could be Biggie movies. There could be Biggie movies. There could be everything.

And our brother really. Well, I can't do it. Let me explain, Senator, what happens to me. They can do it. Let them do everything. So I gave his wife everything. But Fat Joe is just not right. No, you don't understand what Fat Joe does.

Fat Joe has to be involved. All right. So let me ask you something. So what does Fat Joe do? Fat Joe created Big Pun. I don't give a fuck. What type of smoke, steroids, dust you on. Fat Joe created Big Pun. I don't give a fuck what type of smoke, steroids dust you on. Fat Joe

invented Big Pun. You know, and every time I try to talk about Big Pun, you know, when this shit come out, they're going to start the, oh, but he, no, nigga, I discovered him. I got him every producer. I got every rapper. I dressed him better than me.

I bought him bigger chains than me. If I spent $200,000 on my video, I spent a half a million on puns. I did that, right? So now, okay, he passed away. I did something nobody ever did. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I don't think Puff Daddy gave the rights to Biggie back. I don't think they gave the rights to Tupac back. I don't think Puff Daddy gave the rights to Biggie back. I don't think they gave the rights to Tupac back. I don't think they did. So I said,

okay, you saying Fat Joe's jerking you, take everything. To the family. No, no, to the family. Take everything. Not a problem. You know, everybody got whatever they want. You know, get everything. Fat Joe doesn't own a dollar, no tax. I don't have nothing to do with Big

Punt. That's what y'all wanted all right cool so now big pun is dead for 20 years now you got all these the super o's the rigs that this involved who's trying to make money with the family off the estate and they said come on joe after you created the whole do it for big my do for Big Pun 20 years later, my nigga. Pun ain't here, bro. Pun ain't here. So what you want me to go and do, work my ass off and go for free for Big Pun and then you take all the money that I fucking work for? You know, people don't say, and I'm the big guy. I got to do this big guy shit all the time. Like, yo, bro, they got it fucked up

Can we reach a happy medium Where pun can have these documentaries Can have these movies Yo listen let me explain They can they got it Yo yo you don't need Fat Joe They got a million philosophers You can't do a documentary on Run DMC

Without Run But then the problem is they don't want Fat Joe's name attached. When this interview comes out, you'll see, right? Because you're not crazy. You caught some crossfire. Yeah, I catch crossfire from you all the time. All the time. This is 20-something years later.

It's really about this. Because Fat Joe has no dirt on his reputation or anything he's done. I made niggas millionaires. See us here. We done did a million shows across the world. I don't owe a motherfucker a dollar on the planet Earth.

Everybody down with me is living. Every nigga down with me got a mansion. Every nigga down with me is rich. Every nigga down with me is fucking rich. Let me hold a second, Rich Player. I'm not going to lie. You walk in my store, I got stores in the hood Stores in the hood I never left my community

My ties are still there, I got stores in the hood When you pull up the managers of my store Them niggas got Rolexes on and Benz trucks Everybody eats with me Everybody eats with me So when you dig up one situation, in 30 years of some niggas that's, they made the wrong choice.

I made the wrong choice. Right, people make the same choice. I had beef with 50 Cent and fucking Jay-Z at the same time. I made the double yonder, papi. The biggest niggas in the world. Did you see me come up on Dream Chats one time and cry?

Or if I'm going to, Reebok is offering me millions of dollars for sneakers and some niggas is like, yo, we ain't fucking with you if you give him that check. I never came up here and cried. I took my bones. You chose a side. You know what I'm saying? You chose to go that way. The people who chose to stay loyal to me They are in mansions With swimming pools inside of it

With sky They are in mansions So everybody who chose to stay with me Is rich And doing great And if we brought them all here They'd be like oh my god This is my brother

I love him to death He's the best in the world So you know This is the And then my whole thing is, and he knows that, and you should know that, is my whole true, my DNA is based on loyalty. You know? No, no, this is real talk. My whole DNA is based on loyalty. So the very, the very inception, the very thing about Fat Joe, the thing that makes Fat Joe rich is that he's loyal. He'll ride out with you no matter what.

Here come these people with their Teflon every time, testing the Teflon. Well, whenever they can get some airplay. Oh, no, because this and this. They're lies, man. They're lies, man. They're lies, bro. And I would tell people to check my track record with the other 1,000 people, a million people I've done business with in the past 20-something years that will all tell you this guy pays ahead of time. This guy's great. This guy's this. This guy's this.

And you got, you know, it is what it is. Joe, so is there absolutely no path ever in your foreseeable mind that these things get reconciled? I'm going to leave it like this. Somebody called me up and said, Joe, we want to do a big pun movie. We can't do it without Fat Joe. I said, fine. Tell his wife, I don't want no money. I'll do the movie.

Admit that Fat Joe never took a dollar from you. Never robbed you. Never did nothing. Because she knows the truth. They know the truth. Just admit it publicly. Instagram. Yo, you know this. Why are you asking me this? He's at the scene of the crime. He was there at the scene

of the crime. He asked you this. I don't know the reason. Say the truth. Say the truth. He asked you this. When all this shit was going on, I was like, I don't know the reason. I'm not saying the truth. I'm like, say the truth. You made a mistake. You lied to people. You said Fat Joe robbed you, took advantage of your family.

Truth is, he looked out for you. Gave you everything. Gave you money. Say the truth. You know what I mean? Oh, I can't do that. Also, when we can't do a movie, I don't know what you want me to get stuck in my ass and drill the shit a little

bit further. I don't know what to do. It's unfortunate. And does his son... Say the same thing. Because I feel like Chris is an amazing artist. You know, imagine if you guys were... Oh, no, no. Imagine what? Fat Joe

produced this new album and it blew him up. So, no, no. Imagine what? Fat Joe produced this new album. No, I'm just saying. But blew him up. So, no, I just supported him on some level. Let me explain. I seen you with the olive branch. You asked him. No, no, no. I don't know if there's ever been an album like this.

For big puns. It would be really nice if I produced a whole album with hits and did the right thing. No, I'm not saying all of that. I'm just saying just some kind of support. What support? Like maybe you already featured on a track with Chris River. I did a record with him. I did'm just saying just some kind of support. What support? Maybe you already featured on a track with Chris River. I did a record with him when Terminologies joined. The whole shit is up.

But for Big Pun's dedication, Loud Records, I remember you telling me you called him, or you could tell me after. We did a dedication to Pun and Radio City Music for 20 years. I was supposed to be with Joe, but just the day we had Lil Wayne and Mayweather back to back. So I couldn't go. So he couldn't go. We had everybody. The first time he flipped on me. He really flipped on me.

Yeah, I mean. He flipped on me. I mean, you've been close. In Kanye's church service. He couldn't wait to leave the church, Joe. Yo, listen, bro. Listen. I don't take pun lightly.

That's right. Make some noise for that. Sad part is I never had an argument with Big Pun while he was alive. I never had a dispute with him. I never had an argument. We love each other like brothers. Day in, day night. Dickest thieves.

The biggest family you ever seen. It's sad that when he passed away, now you got to deal. You see, it happens with everybody. It's going to happen. It happens with everybody. So now you got to appreciate. As soon as the family comes in, you don't really know them. No disrespect to you, we'reM, it'd be crazy if you

passed away. We really never dealt with your wife. As many times as I know you and all that, who knows if she says she's the new owner of Dream Champs, and she got a new way of doing it. Call, let's put the pink shit over the table, and this and that, and every possible... No, EFM would have never

did this. Yo, but that's my brother. But holy shit, but what's going on? No, EFM would have never done this. Yo, but that's my brother. But holy shit. But what's going on? No, because he's the original. That's what it is, Papito. I got a brother I haven't talked to for 25 years. My own brother.

Maybe even more. My own blood. I guarantee you the day I die, that nigga running in my mother's crib talking about, yo, this my brother's shit. Yo, he's going to get fucked up by the crew. You understand what I'm saying? But I guarantee you that nigga coming. You get what I'm trying to say?

I swear that you can't play. Some of the most best beautiful relationships you ever seen turn around when they pass. Oh shit, phase two, my brothers. Phase two, a.k.a. the family one. And you're like, holy shit. You start feeling like the Matrix the way it's coming at you.

And you're just sitting there like, yo, this is crazy. And this is everything we preach. Loyalty, brotherhood, twins, family. You know, it goes against everything. So, you know, it is what it is. It's something, you know, the Palestinians and the Israels, they fighting right now. Right. They ain't never going to stop.

So I guess that's what it is. I mean, if you want to ask me, what have I done? I've given them everything. If you want to ask me what I did, they want to do a movie. Here, I don't even want money. Say the truth, bro. Just be honest one time. Just say I never robbed you. money. Say the truth, bro. Just be honest one time. Just say, I never robbed you. I never took advantage of your family.

I looked out. This, this, that. Oh, you can't say that? Oh, yo, but his son is the greatest. Make all the hits for him, Joe, even though he hates your guts and all these people hate your guts and this and this. Bro, I can't make it perfect for you. All the one or two fans that's asking, like, yo, Joe, I can't make it perfect for you. Or the one or two fans that's asking, like, yo, Joe, I can't make it perfect. It's a situation that just can't get resolved or can't get fixed.

Everybody don't know the ins and outs, so I know where you're coming from. You know what I'm saying? I know where you're coming from, but I just want eventually him to have a great movie or a great documentary. So you know what? Let's be clear about this, though. You leave this in the tape. Fat Joe's not holding up any movie, anything. Fat Joe don't own nothing with Big Pun. They got their

shit. They got every body they think is smart running with them. But it wouldn't be anything if you weren't involved. I wouldn't say that. It's Big Pun. They're going to make it anyway. My thing, yo bro, there's certain things that we can't really discuss publicly right because i would look like a foul nigga you know i'm saying so and and it's like you know there's

there's certain things i also told her something else she knows what i'm talking about they're gonna be watching this uh that she can't have that in the movie if i'm involved you know i'm saying because these things they did to themselves everything they did to themselves not the kids they were little kids right the mother chose a Path or storyline or to do whatever she wanted to do that fucked up the whole shit You understand what I'm saying? And now and and the only guys who win Everybody in the world is trying to shit on my brother, I'm the only one

nori too going, no, he's the best. He's the greatest. No, no, you gotta, you know. You know, I've been swimming alone in the ocean for a long time. You understand what I'm saying? So now, what we gonna do? We get the new big pun movie and we shit on my brother again? Right. Nah, bro. It just, it's

no answers for this shit. Now, moving on. Let's? Right. Nah, bro. It just, it's no answers for this shit. Now, moving on. Let's move on. Okay. Why we didn't get Rihanna in the video? What happened? Well, it wasn't, um...

Was it COVID? No, I could say COVID, but... It was never Rihanna. It was a kid. Because it was a sample, right? It was a sample. Okay, let's break this down

for people that don't know. Okay. Because as a fan, I thought that. And when I said, I said, no, he went and got those vocals. You know, I defended you on something I didn't know, and I was wrong. No, you wasn't wrong. Okay. You technically wasn't wrong.

Oh, okay. So it's not a sample. It is a sample. Okay. So the kid, DJ Amorphous, I'm on vacation with Khaled. He does the Luther mix, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he mixed Luther with Kiss It Better.

Right. And Dre says, yo, you got to see this shit. I never heard no shit like this. He sends us a video. I'm like, yo, this is incredible. Right. Right? So I see the shit.

I say, yo, this shit is incredible. Boom. Dre says, I'm cool with Dre. Yo, I'm going to produce the track. He said, I'm going to produce the shit. I say, yo, this shit is incredible. Boom. Dre says, I'm cool with Dre. Yo, I'm going to produce the track. He said, I'm going to produce the track. And then he sent it back. And then we did it together, me, Dre, and Khaled. We incorporated the kid.

OK, y'all want to see what it is in 2021? We could have sold it from the kid because he just DJ'd two records. We could have sold it. No, we contact the kid. Yo, thank you for inspiring us. Your name is on the record. You get a percentage of the record. We flew him down.

We paid the kid, including him in the video. That's for the people who thinks Fat Joe robs people. You know, most niggas would have robbed this kid right here. I said, all right, cool, for the inspiration.

Cool. We get him in. Now, Rihanna, I don't know too many people who sampled her, but thank God, when they went to get the sample, she said, oh, I love Fat Joe. Tell him I love him. He deserves it. Gave it to me. Same thing with Luther

Vangeance. Now, you had to clear both, right? But what's crazier than that is if you're hearing clear vocals, we hit up our engineer and he gave us the original vocals. The session. Yeah, yeah.

So that can make of the sample, whatever the case may be. Okay, got to make some noise for that. Who got the thing where you could could hear through the speakers? Who got it? Because I want to hook up DJ Khaled's album. I want to do something that's very important right now. That's very important right now. Hottest album on the streets, number one.

I got to say something because, you know, I didn't invent the phrase, give flowers while they can smell them. I thought you did. No, I didn't invent the phrase give flowers I thought you did I just made it famous, I made it popular I made it the saying to say in hip hop and since then everyone has been doing it

I see my community starting to big each other up and I don't mind to have to pat myself on the back to say I started it I say you said it but let me just say something, because, you know, most of the time, you're doing it in front of people's face. Call it. Don't have to be here. I want to give him his flowers.

I listened to that album. Every single track was a movie. I felt like... You know, back in the days, Kiki Pree used to take a mixtape, and he used to drop a mixtape and every single record

was a hit to maybe it's not a hit to you but it's a hit to the South Bronx I heard it in Queens maybe it's not a hit to you here and that's the closest thing that I felt you know back in the days

I used to go get a Kickapoo tape and I used to feel like I was fly like that was my outfit. If I had the best music. And listen, I'm away in this house for 28 days. And I'm just listening to Kyle's album. Like, this shit is really great. Phenomenal, man.

Phenomenal fucking album, first off. Sorry I'm not sorry. That's crazy, man. I'm blessed to have Nas and J-Number, and I had to hit them, like, come on, that's disrespectful. Yeah. Cryptocurrency's car face.

Here he, here he, on the king stand near me. Well, let's be clear. I love the beat. Let me break that down. Not just that particular song. Because people take away the greatness from Khaled

and they say, well, he just gets a bunch of big time rappers and put them on the same song. There's a million DJs and producers that try that to put the biggest thing and those ain't there.

The main artists will try it in the world. And it's been a long time since we heard Nas and Jay-Z on what, to me, sounds like a smash hit. That's a smash hit to me. A smash hit that can play in the radio. It's streaming incredibly. So Khaled really is the Quincy Jones of hip-hop right now. So he put them two together. He made a right now. So he put them two together.

He made a smash hit record. He put them two together. They did it together. Of course, let's not talk about their lyrics or whatever. They're the greatest of all time. We're talking about two of the top five, everybody's top five. So they're going to spin. You know what I'm saying?

Hundreds of millions, billions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can relate to spit. You know what I'm saying? Hundreds of millions, billions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk on it. I can't relate to this shit. No, no. I can relate because they're inspiring us. They're inspiring us. God, I'm going to let it go.

Now, you know what? People in the hood, they take when you come around or you in a nice car or you got Jerry on. Some people take it as he's a show-off but it really is yo you could get this i came up from the projects for welfare i was fucked up you could get this inspiration it's attainable you can touch it you know what i'm saying and yeah i like living good and i like turks and cacos but i'm always accessible you still might bump into me in washington heights you might bump into me in Washington Heights You still bump into me in the Bronx

You know what's crazy They did a Behind the Music Or A&E some shit Documentary on me I went back to my projects last week And For some people this is a hard thing to do When you get to Fat Joe's

Status cause you know some people don't understand They hard thing to do when you get to Fat Joe's status. Because, you know, some people don't understand. They hate whatever. I walk through my whole projects. People coming out the building. Welcome home, Joe. We love you, Joe. Welcome home. The ladies out the building.

I know them all by their name. I'm walking through and I'm like, damn, man. Like, you know, they know like Joe represents them no matter how far he goes. And, of course, I want to take it because I believe the more money I make, the more money you make, the more money you make, it's the better we can trickle down and give back to our community. Real trickle down economics.

That's the real trickle down. And my shit brick and mortar. You know what I'm saying? So when you turn around and you go, the other day I had a meeting with the Nike rep. A Nike rep, because I own sneaker stores. And he me and i'm huh talk that talk no no no i don't sneak the stores and i'm telling him he's telling me you know yo we want to know what your involvement in the community is so i said my involvement in the community he said yeah i said well i think we're the biggest when it comes to

black and latino we give back the most than anybody. He looks at me like, you know, I might disagree. Right. So then he tells me about a store that's in the hood somewhere. I'll say it in Brooklyn. He says, these guys got a program for little kids. These guys do this and this and that. I said, and I will give you ten thousand dollars. If me and you went over there right now without telling them, and there won't be no kid in no learning center in a fucking store. It looks good on paper. My shit, you can see brick and

That if we making money How much money is enough money That's the question So if you good And you got whatever makes you happy this happiness is the true currency you know what i'm saying why not give back to your community why not look out for the people why not give back to the people and so that's how i feel i feel like it's a trickle down effect we should want everybody who has a good heart to win so they can come back to the

hood and give it to them however it is you know what i'm saying but that you know and that'll be you know my next 10 years of my life god willing you know i live 10 more years will be based really off of philanthropy and giving back and giving back to the hood and inspiring the kids whether they're gang members whether they're street guys whatever it is to encourage them to change their life and show them the greatness within them. You know what I'm saying? That's where my true heart and passion lies,

besides making a ton of money for my family, you know, because I'm about that money. That's it. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

He's been going, I've been going. We haven't gone together. We go together one night. He walks in, he's like a ghost. I look at Joe. He's like, he can't even say what's wrong. Yeah, Ike, you was there, right, Ike? Ike was there. He can't even say what's wrong.

And I'm looking. He's like, I lost my new TS piece and my chandelier. What did you be missing? It's the Richard Milley chandelier, man. You can Google that. Listen to me. What do you do after that? How can you enjoy a meal after that?

I've been to jail. I've been shot. I've been betrayed, stolen from. I've never felt like this. And you just lost it? You just lost it. And I have insurance for my jury. I pay a lot of money. Consider it trickle-down economics.

Somebody found it. No. How far can I go? Hold on. Let me say something. This is why today I got super nervous. Because you never come late. You usually come on time when it comes to business.

And when you... You know, I'm older now. I take these naps. Yeah, yeah. And I make them not wake me up. I'm older. I be like, yo, don't fucking wake me up.

Yo, but drink chaps don't fucking knock on the door, bro. I need this hour. Let me get a whole hour in. So he came late there and then he came late today and I immediately

went to this moment when you walked in and you said, I lost the front. And as you people can see, if you zoom in on what we're talking about, God, holy moly.

Oh, no, the watch ain't here. The watch ain't here because that's the Arab presidential. Yeah, that's that blue shit right there. That blue shit. That's that blue magic. It is what it is. So we die, nigga.

I got the feel list. Just describe the situation. You drop your bags. Sick. I've never seen this face before. Sick records. So I come in. The problem is this. I hate to fly, even, sick records. So I come in. The problem is this.

I hate to fly, even though I fly. Yesterday we came in private. You know, I pressed my wife and my daughter for our birthday. You know, the shit was doing all this, man. I'm tired of this shit. I got so sweaty, the fucking ring was falling off my hand. I'm like, God, please. I got a drink time tomorrow.

Lori's really going to want to see me. I haven't seen you in two months. Lori's really going to want to see me, God. Oh, don't do this now. Like, this shit just gone. So, because of that, there's a flight that leaves out of New York to Miami.

So, you would say my commute is from New York to Miami. So there's a flight on a 777 that leaves American Airlines at like 6 in the morning. That's the big shit. You don't feel no turbulence. I mean, that's your best chance you got. The smaller the plane, the more you feel. The smaller the plane, you say, but this shit like a city, right? So I fly in that day six in the morning.

That means I got to get up. I'm in Jersey four in the morning. Fucking shit in your eye. Take a fucking quick shower. Run up in it. So I'm running. So when I get in my house, I get in my house, maybe like eight o'clock in the morning. There's some shit is mad early.

My wife takes, but I forget all this, man. I'm damn near delirious. She takes the jewelry out the bag and she puts it in a drawer in the kitchen. We never put our jewelry there, nothing like that. So I forget about it. When it comes time to go to Carbone with him, first of all, I'm dying to see Nori. Right.

Dying to see my friends, and I wanted to eat that Carbone so fucking bad. Right. And so we left, and then I was like, yo, where's my watch? So we go back. We look for the watch and can't find it. We leave towards Norrie and then

I make a U-turn to come back. Like, I was fucked up. My stomach had a knot. Like, I mean, a softball in my stomach. I was like, Jesus Christ. I lost the shit and I'm trying to, you know, me, I swear to God, guys, I don't get scared much other than flying.

I laugh when I get scared on the plane because they had to give me something. I don't get scared of jail. I don't get scared of niggas. I don't get scared of shit. I'm like, boom, so I'm sitting there and all of a sudden I'm trying to put the face on like, yeah, you know, I lost a million something

dollar watch, man. Fuck it. Let's go see Nori. Y'all niggas know what it is. But I keep, I drive, I drive 10 blocks and I U-turn three times. Nori's blowing me up. Is everything okay? I'm coming, Nori.

I'm like searching the house. I can't find my jury. And I said, shit, they robbed me. The TSA. Now you start thinking everybody robbed you. The plane, the TSA, the this. The only one I didn't think robbed me was my driver. Give it up for Cesar.

The mini-final. By the way, who was driving me that night? He was outside. He was like, Cesar's outside. I'm like, no, Cesar's good. I said, Cesar's good. He was outside. He was like, she's outside. I'm like, no, she's his girl. I said, she's his girl. He would never. But,

so I'm sick and out of nowhere, a lady that works for me, shout out Patricia, she comes to the house and she finds it in the kitchen. I was like,

oh my God. So you found it. So I, thank God I found it. Yeah, thank God I found it. But I was like, oh my God, I was sick.

And I got insurance on all my jewelry. You know what I'm saying? I pay a lot of money insuring my jewelry. Although I never lost a piece. I never been robbed in my life. But I'm prepared for this. You know what I'm saying? I've lost jewelry before.

Like in hotels and shit like that. Yeah, I've lost. The only thing I ever lost was earrings. I lost like two or four pair of earrings, like the big shits we used to wear back in the A.I. days and all that. And while I'm on stage, them shits fall in the crowd.

Ain't nobody giving you that shit. Shit, one time, I'm in Chicago, real talk, before I met my wife, obviously. Obviously. Let's throw that disclaimer off. Yeah, yeah, obviously. You know he's married her twice. Yeah, yeah, obviously. You know he's married her twice. Yeah, yeah, but I woke up.

I had smashed this thing. I woke up and Shorty had wrote me a letter. It was like, this is like in the 90s. This is Superdog days. And he wrote me a letter in the 90s. It was like, yo, never do that with a Chi-Town girl again. And I never did that with anybody again. But, word. They almost, almost...

They didn't leave you the letter. They stole your shit. Sonny, they took your shit. She told you on the phone, yo, I took your shit. Now, I know so many guys that got robbed. I was on tour. No, no, no.

No, I know millions of guys that got robbed by girls. It's crazy because you sleep with them. You passionate. You think, you know, you fucking this chick. Everything's great. You knock out because you off the hip nine. You wake up in the morning. Your fucking earring got twisted off your ear.

They left with everything. And I know this guy one time. He caught. He. Yeah. They're twisting off your ear. They left with everything. And I know this guy one time, he caught... He... Yeah. You got an audience out there. And so I know this guy, he caught the girl. Like, before she left, she didn't leave.

His Rolex was this. He caught security and everything. They couldn't find it nowhere. To the point of where the lady security had told him, like, yo, she got to have it up her yonder. Right. Because we couldn't find it nowhere. To the point of where the lady security had told them, like, yo, she gotta have it up her yonder. Because we can't find it. It gotta be up her yonder because she never left the room. So, you know, these are professional

girls that they look beautiful and they don't mind giving you some pussy to cheer you up and all that, but at the end of the day, there's some $100,000 pussy. They might have went too far. and all that, but at the end of the day, there's some $100,000 pussy. It might be because they might have went too far. Like, you know, you came down

on the price, man. God damn! Everybody you know got caught out there like that. Not me. Something I noticed during the pandemic has, you've been a lot more social media based. Like, you go live every day, no matter what. I think today, you could been a lot more social media based. Like, you go live

every day, no matter what. I think today, you could have went live here. You were supposed to go live. Yeah, I saw some of y'all dream champs overrule my show. You know, my show's a big deal. No, but let me look into that as well. I'm getting fucked up, sonny. Like, you try to play me like...

Try to play me like my shit ain't right now. No, no, no. No, no, no. Listen, Joe, what. I'm going to see the fish, man. Listen, Joe, what I'm saying is you're becoming a lot more social media based. Like I see you hosting mixtapes online. You're engaging with posting new music. What made you do that? Is it pure lucrative or is it love in that space?

Well, there's three different uh questions okay um it's trying to give new artists uh a shot to align themselves and make music and be on the tape hosted by fat joe and maybe more eyes are going they shit a lot of them you know you know we repost they shit we put they shit on the mixtape. Now, as far as the show, these are two different things. As far as the show, I was terrified. Right. I'm for real, guys. To do something live like that?

No, no, no, no. This is my brother. This is one of my top fives. I'm not going to lie to you, FM. I was scared. I thought I might die with corona. Yeah, half a million niggas died. I knew you never caught the cops. I just took with Corona. Yeah, half a million niggas died.

You know what I mean? I knew you never caught the cops. I just took 27 tests. Me too. I took tests. I was away for a month. So every day, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I had to get tested. Oh, shit. I might have took four tests this week.

Right? Because I'm doing Wildin' Out, the mall, this. They keep testing you or whatever. So I was terrified. Right. Like, I never came out my house when i came out my house i looked like one of them alien niggas with the mask with the shit ice all in my hair gloves and i'm in miami where all these niggas are trumpers they don't believe

in the mask and they're looking at me like i'm extra crazy i'm running out here like spraying the car no valet like i never left my house i sat on the balcony the whole time i wasn't lying right so one day i'm there and then um i'm just like this and my daughter's like yo dad you should go on live i'm like going live and she was like yo going live talk to the people so i noticed the people needed it so when i I turned it on, the numbers was crazy. The people needed it. Everybody was stuck home. Then all my artist friends, you, Khaled, everybody kept coming on,

coming on, coming on. The next thing you knew, it turned into something that we started doing every day at 8 o'clock at night. And we had everybody from domestic violence people to Dr. Fauci to the dude from the funeral home. Like, we had everybody you could think of.

I tell people all the time, they say, yo, you know, Fat Joe's going in your lane. And I say, who he interviews is not our lane. You be taking risks that we're not willing to take. You be interviewing people

that we're not willing to interview or know enough information to even interview. I think you had, you had like the dude running for the mayor or something like that? Yeah, a bunch of them. They still come on every week. Everybody's got to run for president. Andrew Yang, Cory Booker, guys who legitimately went for president come on the show. Cory Booker can't come on Drink Champs.

I've been on it. I've been burning it down, Cory Booker. You're welcome, man. I've been on my show with Michelle Obama in the comments autism for autism yeah you know everything but let me ask you anything anything that deals with transparency but let me ask you something Joe because maybe this is me and EFN putting you onto an area that you don't know. Why didn't you sell the audio to that? Didn't I sell the audio?

Yeah, that could be a podcast by itself. You know, I never sold the... Like you said, I'm new. You're going to answer the question? I'm just saying, make it sure you didn't sell the audio. I didn't know everything. I didn't sell the audio. Nobody owns nothing to my shit. Yeah, because we can make that a whole other bag.

That's a whole other bag. We can still add on that. Please do so. Especially the ones that's not on Revolt. So you still going with that? One season with Revolt? No, I still go on Revolt. Even the Revolt, because that's the audio side of it.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, even Revolt. That's what we do. Y'all need it bad. Why you don't put me on? I thought you did. I put you on now. I swear to God, that's right. That's what we do. Y'all need it bad. Why you don't put me on? I put you on now. I swear to God, that was a legit question.

That's a good one. We can take over the audio part of that. I never did it. All we got to do is that same mic you got there, and then we got to send a mic to the people that's... Not even. You could take the audio straight from the video. Really? Really? No extra additives.

If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to. No, I'm saying to enhance it. Me, personally, I love doing it. It's become an addiction. It's become a passion. Now, you're definitely addicted to it, yeah. Even though he tells me, yo, get the fuck off the live. Give me all my shit, yo. Get off the live.

Take a fucking day off. Take a break, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He dead seriously won't do nothing around the show or on the weekends. Was it Saturday? The only reason I'm here 26 years later and I still have my teeth and I'm rich as fuck. God damn it. It's because I never gave up.

God damn it. God damn it. What do you want me to do? Your dog in the yard is saying, yo, Pistol Pete, come talk about dog in the yard. My brother Pistol Pete, dog in the yard. Pull up, but before we get to that, hold on, before we get to that, also it's DMX Day.

DMX, they just named a day for DMX. First off, let's talk about that, and then I want to talk about DMX for a second, and then we got, yeah, let's go. Let's day for DMX. First off, let's talk about that, and then I want to talk about DMX for a second, and then we got, yeah, let's go. Let's talk about DMX. So what does it mean, DMX Day? It's a whole date in Yonkers, I believe. What is it, Yonkers?

In New York. In New York. It's New York State. December 18th is the clear DMX Day. What you feel about that? I love it. He's a pioneer, man. He's a legend in the hood.

If I tell you the first thing that came to my mind, the true thing was, damn, man, we always got to die to get it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, man, you always got to die to get it. You know, you was fucking with him out here. He was perfectly fine. That's why I got to throw you off. I want to give it. You know, you was fucking with him out here. He was perfectly fine. That's why

I want to give it right back to you. The crazy shit was something about our neighborhood, something about New York. When we're going back to New York, going back to certain ways of life, I literally looked at this man. He stayed down the block with me for three and a half weeks. He literally

came every day. I was signing a contract. I could sell it as an NFT. We sent him a contract. He was signing to drink champs. This is fact. Only thing he said was he didn't want his name on it.

He wanted Bloodline. So we changed it and then that happened. But I was with him every day and he was so happy. He was so focused. He was not thinking about this other lifestyle, this other thing. And as soon as he go back to New York, this thing happened.

Well, it really ain't his fault. My brother, and I hate doing this because I know my nephew's going to be watching this. You know, my brother dealt with, I've dealt with addiction my whole life. My brother been getting high since he was 14, that means I was 9 I watched my mother in the window I done went and shot up the whole block I don't want to talk too much You know, pistol whipped, crack spots

Everything trying to get my brother off drugs I put my brother in maybe 20 drug programs I done bailed him out and paid for maybe 20, 30 lawyers for my brother Maybe 50 lawyers, $10,000 every time he got locked up so he don't get no real time. I done went through it. I done cried with my brother. I did everything. You know, one time we sent, just so I can give you my

scenario. One time we sent my brother away for a whole year. He went to like North Carolina. He was in the drug program. He came back, cocked diesel, brand new. The second he came to the block, his friends was like, yo, Angel, money man, what's up? And they thinking they showing them love, but like, yo, I got that.

The man went away for a year trying to change. It's no less than six hours later, he coming in my mother's house like this. I seen this. I dealt with this. The addiction, it'll take down

the smartest, the richest, the loving. It'll take them down. It'll just take them down. So in DMX's case, unfortunately, the person who might have got him high thought they was looking out for them. Yo, X, I got it. Yo,

what's up? And they've been going back and forth for years. Because that person's suffering too. The person who thinks they're showing them love. And so what I'm saying to you is unfortunate because he looks so beautiful up here. You know, I see him with Nori every day. And I know you're exactly right because one day I FaceTimed him. He was like, yo, Joe, I got to get off the phone. I'm talking to DMX.

I'm signing him a drink. And you hung up on me. And he come off the phone. I'm talking to DMX. I'm signing the drink And you hung up on me he come bring the public chicken So if we go back to DMX day man The brother deserves it because we need to show people that you can come from the projects. You can come from being fucked up and be somebody great in history. DMX deserves that 1 million percent. Big Pun deserves the street. You know, hip hop isn't it.

You know, America. Now we might all go to jail for what I'm about to say. Wait, wait, wait. America. No, no. I'm telling you, we all go to jail for what I'm about to say. Wait, wait, wait. America. How do you stop? No, no. I'm telling you, we all go into jail. Listen. America has a huge history of going to other lands and stealing.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Their oil. Absolutely. Their diamonds. All their natural resources, we steal it from everywhere else. Right? So maybe back in the days, we were stealing the tobacco and the sugar cane. The fruit. The fruit. Everything from everywhere else, right? So maybe back in the days we were stealing the tobacco and the sugar cane,

the fruit, everything from everywhere else. Hip-hop is the only natural resource that was created in America that's made trillions of dollars, that's given people hundreds and thousands of jobs. And so who is DMX? He's a fucking superhero to this cause. Give him the day. Give Big Pun his thing. And then the other thing is,

if you know this guy's great, if you know Jay-Z's great, if you know Puff Daddy's great, if you know... Man, give him a fucking block or a bridge or a school now. While they can see it. Why they always got to wait till somebody die?

Like, Swizz says something at the funeral, and everyone thinks he's taking a shot at Irv Gotti, but I'm going to just go ahead and say, he said that, yo, I didn't want y'all to show up now. I wanted y'all to show up then. Like, when he was alive. Do you think it's a... Well, Swiss, a lot of people

wear a lot of weight on their shoulders. Swiss was one of those. I got an aunt. My Aunt Barbara. We got nine. My grandmother had nine kids. They all love my grandmother to death. Shout out Uncle Dan.

I think everybody has an aunt named Barbara. All right, well, I got an aunt named Barbara. I ain't got an aunt named Barbara. That was probably the style back in the day. My favorite aunt. And so, my Aunt Barbara, my grandmother was 80-something years old, and she was in that hospital day and night, tubes and all types. My Aunt Barbara's the only one who had the stomach to stay in the hospital

and be with her every day. Especially people that could tolerate it. You're walking in there, you know you're seeing your mother and your grandmother with tubes. People can't really feel that way. Swiss was that Aunt Barbara. You know, no matter what DMX went through, he was the guy that he was saying,

you know, I love the dog. He was with him through thick and thin. He was trying to help him. He was trying to change his life. He was trying to encourage him. He was trying to this. So what Swiss is saying is like, yo, guys,

I remember being there at the drug programs or I remember there being with this guy nobody else was here so now it's cool to see our old friends and everybody coming together and we should salute him but damn where y'all was at when I was fighting that real battle trying to change his life around and um and and so you know, that's how I really, really felt. You know, I watched Black Rob's funeral, too. And his brother said, everybody be shitting on Puff Daddy. Puff Daddy looked out. He always looked out for Black Rob.

You know, addiction, once again, is some, what do you do? Right? So I got a cousin that he gets high. What am I supposed to do? Go do a show and give him 10 grand so he can go get high and make somebody rich with the 10 grand? What are you supposed to do? If my brother was sober... Black Rob died of addiction?

No, I don't know what he died of. Oh, okay. But he had problems. Oh, I didn't know that. He was on dialysis. He was on dialysis. He was on dialysis, yeah. I don't know what he died of.

Dialysis is coming from something having to do... No, no, but it's cool. It don'tys. I don't know what he got. Dianasys is coming from something having to do with potential or something. No, no, it's cool. It don't matter. I don't know. What I'm saying is Black Rob. Black Rob. I don't want to sound like Irv Gotti or anybody. You know, Black Rob had his issues, too.

Right, yeah. And who doesn't, though? That was the issues with Irv. Irv said that way too soon. I don't know. I'm not saying that. He had his issues with addiction, too. What I'm saying is, what could you have done?

Like, you would have gave him a car. You know, that's the problems with addiction. You know, and everybody got family members that went through this. Mariah Carey's family members. It don't matter how fucking, you could be the king of England and have a nephew that's getting high. You know, it's God and a miracle if they got the power to fight off that addiction. Not too many people have that.

Epistle Pete, what the fuck is going on? Make some noise for Epistle Pete. But real quick, sorry Pete, we want to just acknowledge rest in peace to Black Rob, rest in peace to Shock G, and we also lost Prince Marky D not too long ago. Rest in peace to them. Prince Yes. Rest in peace to Shock G. And we also lost Prince Marky D not too long ago.

Shock G. Rest in peace to them. Prince Marky D I took for advantage. I took... I took Shock G for advantage. It's the same thing that reminded me of Pun. Because he lived in Tampa. But go ahead, you go first.

He lived in Tampa? He lived in Tampa, bro. So with me, with Prince Marky D, he's somebody who opened the doors for us. Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican. And the fat boys. And he was always here in Miami. And I knew he was available

to go hang out with him and talk to him. That's what I'm just saying about John G. You see this guy keep going. And when he died, I was like, damn, it's nothing. Like, I used to see him drive the scooter past my house. You took the people for granted. I took him for granted. Like, I should have spent more time with him. He was a legend.

I could have learned from him. I could have learned from him. And so, and then when we talk about Black Rob, we talk about DMX, we talk about Shock G, we talk about Fred the Godson. Like, so many people. Andre Harrell. We know it's a lot of icons this year, whether it was COVID or anything else. So, you know, it's been a sad year for hip-hop.

Let's make some noise for us making it, man. Let's make some noise for us making it. So let's talk about Dog in the Yard, Pete. You got water? You drinking water on drink caps? So let's talk about Dog in the Yard. What is it? How you came up with it? And let's go with it.

I just felt like I wanted to give something back. You know what I'm saying? I'm always been the guy that people look at as the troublemaker, as the guy that goes around and bully people or whatever. You know me, it's a bunch of different stories, right? So I wanted to give something back. You know what I'm saying? I wanted to give something back that I'm gonna love to do So I was it took a long time be honest with you like I just had to find myself

To open up it took a while to actually get on the mic and no no just just a no no just Be a good guy 30 years of jail. Many people, all types of shit. And then, thank God, you're his friend. And so what he's saying is it came a time when now he feels like, yo, I've been through a life of crime. That's what you said. Like journey. He wants to encourage the youth

about jail reform and whatnot. Don't go to jail because it ain't cool. So you hear these stories from all these guys who did 10 years, 20 years. This, this, that. You hear it from the source. Yeah. Incredible. I watch it.

How many years you did? 17. 17. Yeah. So, you know, it's not so, you know, it feels good to bring that, you know, because a lot of people get a lot of good feedback. You know what I'm saying? Everybody's getting, you know, like, yo, you know, my daughter, she ain't listening to me and all that.

And now she's seen, like, an episode. She's like, oh, shit. You know, like. I sit down with my daughter to watch Dog in the Yard religiously. Oh, yeah. We sit down and watch Dog in the Yard. She's like, Dad, you got the new episode? You got to do the joint.

It got to be something that you have. Just like your Joe said, you got to be passionate about about what you wanna do, you know what I'm saying? So I just don't wanna do it for the brand, you know what I'm saying? And it's a YouTube show? Huh? Is it just on YouTube? Yeah, it's on every platform, you know what I'm saying?

Okay, how about the audio too, you got the audio? Yeah, I got the audio and all that. Cool, all right, cool. We could probably get some money on the audio. Come on, you know what I'm saying? We could get a piece of shit on that. Yeah, I'm trying to buy. I'm giving you the money.

I'm giving you the money. I'm giving you the money. I'm giving you the back. I want to be the father. Give me the back. I'm calling them a nobody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the number one. I'm calling them a nobody. John, a podcast. We got some talk for you.

I'm the behind the scenes. You got to stay, man. So what do we got to do to get you and French Montana on the same level? We need it for New York City. We need it for the folks. We need it. We need it. What can we do? I mean, people just

got to act right. Don't ever change. Just because you became on this level and all that, I mean, I don't give a fuck about that. I don't look at how big you get and all that. I look at the person. I look at the person.

Let's be clear. I never co-signed pistol with him arguing with each other. I've in fact, I'm not arguing I know I'm just saying it's no time ago. I'm going to ask him, won't you chat on him? I love Pistol. He got Mambo in him. He got Morikawa in him. He know how to do the shit. This guy is a master of them. Please, he's a master of them.

French Montana is my brother, and I love him to death. We love him. And Pistol, that's all old news. And, you know, I was very upset with Pistol when he did that because I really, truly love French Montana. And I didn't want French looking at me sideways because they think that when Pistol and one of the Terror Squad guys go off the road...

Pistol's his own boss. Yeah, he's his own boss. He's his own boss, yeah. But people think, like, oh, Joe might have sanctioned that. Or Joe might have... Cam Ross sat in your same seat until he thought that somebody from my crew did something crazy. And he thought that I had sanctioned that too. That's how people think.

Yeah, it's crazy for you to sit in the same exact seat. And it looks like he's crazy. So I'm like, yo, boom, hold on. Let me get to the bottom of it. But that's a long time ago. That's over. I'm going to tell you something just to clarify that. Just clear that part.

I love French, too. You know what I'm saying? It's not like I hate the guy. It's not like that ago. That's over. I'ma tell you something, just to clarify that. Just clear that part. I love French, too. You know what I'm saying? It's not like I hate the guy. It's not like that. I love the guy. So you cool with the accent? What happened? Are you cool with us talking about what happened?

How did y'all fall out? Or you want to move on? I mean, it's nothing, man. So what was it? It's just a change up. We don't want... I don't like changes. Because I remember one day, it was me and you.

Thank you. The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.

So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So let's just keep it on the Bronx right now, right?

So just subscribe for people who've never been to the Bronx, who've never come to the Bronx, just describe through you, brother. Just describe it then, before, and now. I mean, it's hard. You know, we invented hip-hop.

God damn it. You started with that? You started with that? All right. That's a big lead. I don't say that's what it goes to me. Pistou's Block. I don't even know if Pistou's block I don't even know what Pistou knows but Pistou's block

Cypress Ave that's where Grandmaster Flash actually lived wow my brother was a crate boy for Grandmaster Flash

so back in the days there wasn't Serato or nothing they used to have a bunch of vinyls so every time Flash went to

DJ a party my brother would go and pick up the crates that's how I know Grandmaster Flash they used to have a bunch of vinyls. So every time Flash went to DJ a party, my brother would go and pick up the crates. That's how I know Grandmaster Flash lived in Cyprus. I would go with my brother to Grandmaster Flash's house. So it's amazing to think of this shit that done went around this whole world. You got German rap, fucking Taliban rap. It's in every corner of the world.

And Mexican, Cuban, whatever. It's every corner of the world started in the Bronx. And we of the age of when it started just being fans of it or whatever the case may be. Now, we try to carry on tradition. You know what I'm saying? After the pioneers, KRS came, you know, we had Just Ice. We had KRS. We got Slick Rick.

Slick Rick, the ruler's from the Bronx. Oh had KRS we got Slick Rick, Slick Rick the ruler from the Bronx. Oh that's right Slick Rick from the Bronx. He's from the Bronx. And so um it just evolved in him with me it's a special honor to me knowing that you know I come from the birthplace of hip-hop, and I try to push it to every other level that we can. When we grew up in the Bronx, it was a different Bronx than it is now. Now it's more surveillance-driven. Like, I don't know how these people killed people in 2021.

I'm so sorry That's my first post Since the Knicks Have been doing good I'm so sorry If I'm the jinx No that was good If I'm the jinx

If they go tank From here It might be me Listen Stephen A. Smith Okay Is a huge Knicks fan But he's like

He's done No because nobody You know the Knicks don't win. Yeah, they don't. So he started. I'm a DJ colleague. Yeah, he started. Oh, yeah. He started going crazy talking about the Knicks. And then we lost two games in a row. I started to think, yo, this nigga jinxing us. I'm telling you, I feel like I'm a jinx too. He's talking that shit, but we won yesterday. We beat the Clippers yesterday. Yeah, that's why he was in LA. All right, quick time. We got to get this.

This is supposed to be quick. Obviously, the quick. All right. Yankees or the Mets? Yankees. I knew that was it. Now, hard. I think two.

I think these two. Loyalty or respect? Loyalty. DJ Premier or DJ Kylie? Take a shot. Take a darn classical. A hypnotic shot beyond him. I'm telling you this is Mr. Lee's question.

Mystify my love. Now this one, I don't know. Hold on, I'm about to take a shot. Catch it up, catch it up. Ay-yi-yi. This is where these guys got a gimmick. They try to get you drunk on purpose. No, no, this is...

This one is drinking. It's stunt liquor. I actually don't know your answer. Independent or major? Independent. You see? I think I should take a shot for that. I won.

I love the major. Why you when you told him I was going to pick independent? No, no, we fight over this all the time. We fight over this. You know I always pick major. I say independent all the time. Yo, Fat Joe, I'll spoil you. I can't go from platinum to luxurious bus. But you got to own your shit.

You got to own your shit, bro. Back then, I didn't give a fuck about owning my shit. I wanted to fuck. No, but I do. Smoke weed. I didn't care about that. I mean, now. Now.

But back then, you remember being on the majors? Don't front. No, no. Don't front on being on the majors, Fat Joe. You got the 10 million yonder from Atlantic. Come on. But, nah, I like being independent. I like working my own shit.

I like, you know what I'm saying? You know what happened was we used to go to these guys, right? So you think about Fat Joe, Fat Joe, Don, you know, the way I had to go to these guys and beg these guys to sit behind a guy behind a desk and be like, are you going to work my record? Are you really going to do it this time? Are you going to pay for the radio and the video promotion?

Are you going to do it? And they're like, yeah, we got you this. And I'm looking at this Pancho Cara de Queso sitting across this fucking... Are you looking at anybody? Like, no, man. I'm just saying. You're going to miss the lead

before Spatula speaks Spanish. I'm looking at a real sucker, man. I'm looking at a real sucker. I'm going to ask him permission for shit. Like, man, fuck that. And we're pouring our hearts out. And we're making our music hours and hours and telling our live story.

And then turn around, and then these people, when they're successful, a guy that comes that you never met in your life and comes takes the picture with you with the Grammy like they did something. I'm not with that, man. You know, I'm with the artists owning their own shit through thick and thin. That's just me. And to be fair, it's not necessarily saying fuck the industry or the majors. Because if you set yourself up independently,

you can take advantage of the majors. Look at EF, man, cleaning that shit up. Get that EF, man. Alright, so. This know what I'm saying? That's what I'm doing. That's what I'm doing. All right, so... This should be easy for you. Scott Storch or Pharrell?

Scott Storch. I wanted you to make the decision with no family ties. But if that's what you're going with, you think Scott is ill? He already said loyalty. It makes sense. You think, but...

Yeah, I can't go against Scott for nobody. I like that. I like that. Let's move on. My family's still eating from Scott's. This is also gonna be easy, but it Yeah, I can't go against Scott. I like that. I like that. My family's still eating from Scott. This is also going to be easy, but it's going to be... Look at his man. That's right. That's the white boy connection.

My motherfucker came out the back of the room. I can make the poor call. Oh, Joe said the right thing. All right. God damn it. It's a little hard for you. And I love Pharrell, let's be clear.

Yes, yes. Good Times Hotel, god damn it. Remy Ma or Cardi B? Remy Ma. Drake or Lil Wayne? Lil Wayne. That was ill. Belly.

The movie. Or Paid in Full. Paid in Full. It's pretty easy. It's a Harlem thing. All right, now I'm guessing this is producer. This is just producer. Irv Gotti or Puff Daddy. Producer?

Just producer. That's a hard one. Not just even because of like, take the shot. It's a hard one because, man, I think Irv is a genius. And then Puff Daddy's a genius too. He's coming back as love. Taking a shot, I'm in.

He's coming back as love. Because they're both phenomenal. Like Irv Gotti's a genius. Puff Daddy's a genius. I got to take this shot. I want to take this shot. Hold on, hold on. Salud.

I'll take a drink. Salud, salute. Now, let me ask you. We both get money with this guy. He's a great guy, but can you be out of the music business for as long as Puff has been out of the music business? And can he recreate that?

Can he recreate those moments that he had? He can never recreate that same energy. Okay. Right? So he can make, will Puff Daddy make a masterpiece? It's all R&B. He is. He is.

And is it going to be incredible? Is it going to be fly and all that? Yes. But you can never recreate. You know. Because I see. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Here comes the brand new flavor in your ear. You can't come and kick in the doorway. You can't. It's just an energy. You know, big point. Dead in the middle.

Do you know what it was to be around at that time? Do you know big point dead in the middle a little but do you know what it was to be around at that time do you know like daddy used to come out and they used to have picket signs in the middle of this you can't recreate that energy like you always tell me what jay says to you like why do you keep doing this shit and how do you keep doing this shit the thing about it is you know diddy's my brother like i sat down with him one time and he said, you know, Nori, just do what you want to do. And I said, yeah, like, whatever. He's like, because sometimes I'm just too rich to care. The illest conversation I ever had. I've never heard somebody tell me, I'm just too rich to care.

So whatever. It could happen. You can be too rich to care. You still really care about music, though? He cares. I'm watching his Instagram. I haven't heard none of his songs. He knows his fingers. He had Justin Bieber the other day doing the orchestra in there. That nigga cares.

He cares. When it comes to music. When it comes to music, there's no way he's going to put out a new project that ain't fire. That's not it. Up Daddy is going to put it together. It's going to be fire. There is no doubt in my mind that he's gonna put out a new project that ain't fire. That's not the shit. All Daddy is gonna put it together is going to be fire.

There is no doubt in my mind that it's gonna be fire. There, make some noise. Make some noise for the motherfucking chairman. But I ain't gonna lie, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, because I don't know what he keep writing. Is it Malibu? No, no, he's doing, he's doing, he's doing. He's in the Bahamas. He's in the Bahamas.

He's doing... So what, he's just, uh, he, he, he's doing it. He's doing what he's doing. He's in the Bahamas. He's in the Bahamas. He's just making an album, man. He's in that space. So let's be clear. This is on Revolt. This is on Revolt. But this is the music. I want to know if he's still... You know what I'm saying?

Like, got to realize that's an ill error to try to... Recreate? Yeah, yeah. You remember when Bad Boy was Bad Boy, Joe? He's not trying to recreate that. You know what the crazy shit is? That's why I asked you that first question. Remember I asked you the first question?

You know, I don't want to bring that energy back. But I asked you the first question. We was listening to your old shit. No, no, no, seriously, I'm not lying, right? We was listening to your old shit. And Puff was on all your old shit, too. So I'm like, I'm saying this. I knew Puff Daddy when he had a see-through chain on.

He had no money. I knew Puff Daddy. A see-through chain. I don't know what that means. His chain was so small, the shit looked invisible setting. Right. Like, I knew Puff Daddy. I knew Puff Daddy before he had a dollar.

I wasn't ready. No, no. I'm telling you the truth. I was there when he was running around with Biggie, like, listen to my man, listen to my man. That's how back I go with Puff Daddy. Since they want Biggie, too. And I heard you have disrequits towards Tupac.

No, no, no, no, no. You just went out of another direction on the guest. I'm just saying. It's Biggie, Puff, it just all makes sense. I'm just saying. No, we can't do that. I got to relax. I got just saying. It's Biggie Puff. It just all makes sense. I'm just saying. No, we can't do that. I got it. Relax.

I went too far. Listen. Mr. B, bad joke. I don't know if y'all know, I just came up for quarantine. For quarantine, I had to go to 14 days of filming. I couldn't have my phone. I had nothing. I heard you got married again.

No, I didn't get married again. I proposed again. Because let me be clear, for niggas that's real niggas and people that's out here, I never completed my white wing set. So you just had one gone. She never asked to be upgraded. So you want to get two of them? No, why not?

You know you're making a lot of money. No, that's not the truth. Come on, you got to relax., why not? You know you're making a lot of money. No, that's not the truth. Come on, you got to relax. You are, you are. You're making a lot of money. You got to relax, man. You got to relax. We just searched you.

Because nothing is promised tomorrow. What if you die tomorrow? You never got to enjoy your money. What do you mean? My kids will enjoy my money. Okay. Okay. That's all that matters to me.

He wanted to go home? Dominican. He wanted to go home, build the biggest house. This man worked two jobs for 30 years. Right. He gets on American Airlines and JFK to finally go to Santo Domingo.

You have always blessed me. When it comes to Jay-Z, I called you because I knew you was cool with Memphis Bleak. Yes. The squad said you were going to get him on all the way up remakes.

It was Hov who hit me direct but I knew it was Memphis Bleak who would connect you because Bleak said to me, this was exact words, he said, you sure Fat Joe

wants the squad? I'm scared because, I'm scared because He could have fucked up his whole relationship. I'm done. This Asian Spain will not be here. I'm scared because you could have fucked up his whole relationship This

Was that one of the best plugs you ever made in your life that has come back to you Let me tell you something. I believe in God. And God, Allah, Jehovah, Jesus said to me, yo, because I got the phone in the hall and he said, you got one favor for me. I owe you a favor. You do this, you correct certain such and such. I'm going, I got got you I'm walking in Joe hits me said how do you get in contact with the y'all the y'all have really hit me I knew I said this web very moment I said you're not doing music you doing great with this shit you're doing right now. You don't need a Jay-Z verse. He got that record.

And I called, and I said, I got you. And then you called me, and I said, I got you. And I called Bleak, and Bleak said, I'm pulling over. He said, you sure Joe want to squash it? Because I saw him two weeks ago. He said, Joe had the ice grill on. And I said, that's that Brooklyn Bronx shit. I'm just freestyling but now I'm scared

cause I'm like what if he's really and Joe said I promise you so I said I'm walking in the breakfast club it's crazy I'm walking in the breakfast and I'm gonna be honest the fact that no one gets a favor from Jay Z no one gets that but when you put somebody else in front you

like this is you my brother you put me in front you so many times. I felt like this was my time. I owe you this anyway. But it was like, I wanted to do this. I felt I had to do this. And you know what?

But Sia was like, he was out of control, and then he just changed his whole life. Sia stepped to me outside, he said, yo, it's me. I'm like, I'm... You didn't do that yourself. I told him sometimes I was like a crippled jack.

What made you want to lose weight like that? Basically, people like you, like, inspiring me. And that's the time when you were going through a transformation. And then putting me to the side and, you know, giving me a wake-up call. And that's where I realized, you know, looking at you, if you can do it, I can do it. Mm. And that's what I do. Now, you take it serious.

The whole COVID, I'm in the house watching Instagram, and this guy is playing Rocky, picking up rocks in Germany. I am a real American. Yeah, I'm a real American. Fight for your rights, I'm a an American. Fight for your rights. I'm an American. Fight for your rights. Fight for your life. Come on. Everybody got a little bit white boy in them.

Come on. Come on. Everybody got a little bit. Sid was going hard through the whole COVID. And how's your life changed since you lost weight like that, man? You know, you have a whole different energy. You can, when you accomplish a lot of stuff and then you inspire a lot of people that look up to you and they want to know how you made that transformation,

that gives you a whole different energy that you want to help other people. You want to go to another level people you want to and you want to go to a another level where you can see you know what there's no limits you can't achieve everything and that really transfer transform in a business like i became much more successful in business i'm accomplishing more stuff like i really envision stuff in my mind and i really go get it and that's that's incredible feeling And I'm trying to always look out for my people, such as people that support you and always believe in you. Because now, especially in this business,

it's very, very tough to find people, like real people, such as Joe, that really care about you. And that's really impressive. And that's why I always go out of my way to trying to bring stuff to the table and trying to accomplish on whichever level I can to contribute. Right now, we're talking about, you know,

doing a weight loss show and inspire other people. That's fire. That's fire because I want to know what intermediate fasting is now. Intermittent. Intermittent. What?

It could be intermediate if you want. I think I'm about to try that for my birthday. You told me you was doing that. No, I didn't. You didn't? No, I didn't, but I'm not doing it now. I don't think you can do it for life. No, you can do it for life.

You can do it for life? Absolutely you can do it for life. What is it? It's just wasting a certain amount of time in the day and then eating another- Twice a day. Yeah. No breakfast. Windows of eating.

Your first meal will be like one, two in the afternoon. And then you'll eat like four hours later. It could be that's it. There's different levels of it. You could pick how you want to do it. Yeah, it's not 40 day recess. No, no, no. It's how you want to do it.

It's a matter of just getting your body in a fasting mode. The weirdest moment on Dream Champs history. Yeah, I mean, that's what we do. It's a positive thing. You see what I'm saying? It's a positive thing You see what I'm saying It's a positive thing You talking about positive shit You talking about health

No I'm not saying you're bad For real? And now he ain't got to pay for pussy. He's the baby pussy? No, I'm not saying you're bad. One day when Columbia comes out the room, he says, Hey, Joe, Minaj no pay. That's my last question. What's going on in Columbia? I've been away for a month. Oh, it's crazy, bro.

It's crazy. I have not had social media. I have not had a phone. I have not had nothing. He knows why. But I really... He got me a bag, god damn it. But what is going on in Columbia?

When I went on social media, I was like... I don't know everything, but it's really about the COVID. COVID is hurting Colombia a lot. What is it? It's the taxes. The government is trying to... The government is denying the tax reform. What I do know...

They're trying to recover by taxing everybody, basically. What I do know is that, unfortunately, there's videos of police officers literally running down on people and shooting them dead in the middle of the street. Just like New York, there's videos of police officers literally running down on people and shooting them dead in the middle of the street just like New York full military helicopters no killing like guys standing on the corner

cops on motorcycle pull over cops on motorcycle bang bang killing them pulling over pounding dudes out like the shit they doing over there in Columbia but why? because the people are protesting they're telling the people stay home over, pounding dudes out, like the shit they doing over there in Columbia. That's wild. That's wild. Why?

What's the purpose of that? Because the people are protesting. They're telling the people- Don't protest. Stay home. Yeah. Okay. Stay home.

Basically, the police are really, really running like a gang or something right now where they saying, if you in the street at 9 o'clock every night, how about we're killing you? Yeah. That's exactly. We're not even pounding you out. That's what they're saying is happening. We're blowing your brains out. To the point of where there's a lady who's the chief of the police begging the police not to kill the people. The lady who's the boss is on TV like, please don't kill the people. Like, cops is just rolling up on people.

Bang. Banging them out and just keeping them moving. This shit. It's really crazy in Columbia, man. Yeah. So one thing to say before you get up out of here.

some shit that ain't happened in a hundred years, the COVID, and we made it through and we bunkered in and we did the right thing. Rest in peace to everybody that passed away due to the covid a lot of people lost their families and i challenge everybody to do whatever they can

whether they have money or not to give back to their community or whether it's putting in some extra time as a counselor whether it's putting in a little extra time helping some old people get groceries. It's time that we love ourselves and we give back to ourselves and our community. If you want to know what Fat Joe's about now, my next two, ten

years will be geared towards making a lot of money. Make that clear. Because I ain't got nothing wrong with making a lot of money. Let's make that clear. Let's make that clear.
