One of the first, definitely, sex rappers from New York. One of the illest battle rappers in New York. He had relationships from Nas to Big.
Starting point is 00:04:28 One of the first dudes I know signed to Interscope Records. And he's out here owning strip clubs. And we hear that he's running for fucking Congress.

Starting point is 00:04:55 your first, the Vagina Diner, the Bomb Baby, and all this, you know, I want to understand, I see on allhiphop.com, big up allhiphop.com, correct? Yes, it is, definitely. Allhiphop.com, big up allhiphop.com, correct? Yes, it is, definitely. Allhiphop.com, that you are running for mayor. Wait, and it only all hiphop. Definitely. My buck is in the newspaper.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Whoa! Whoa! Definitely, what we're doing is running for mayor of South Beach right now. We just want to have fun. We want to integrate South Beach and, you know, let everybody have peace of South Beach right now. We just want to have fun. We want to integrate South Beach and, you know, let everybody have peace in South Beach, basically.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Now, is mayor of South Beach different from running for mayor of Miami? Yes. It's different? Oh, what? It's different. It's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:05:35 It's different. So it's like you're running for mayor of Queens. Kind of like that. He's going to go to Miami Beach or South Beach. South Beach is the place
Starting point is 00:05:43 where everyone goes. It's like the central booking for out-of-towners. When they come, they land at South Beach, and then you stay there. Then you move to either Opelika. Then you move to Miramar. Then you move to Kendall. Then you move to Kendall. Then you move to Homestead.
Starting point is 00:05:57 But South Beach is where out-of-towners come, and they sit down, and that's like the holding pin for them, you know? Definitely. So we're going to run for mayor out there because we're opening a whole venue out there. It's a serious bid? This is a serious bid. This is a serious bid. We're going hard. We're taking sponsors. We're doing everything. We're going. I mean, hopefully I'm campaigning.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You're doing debates in the whole night. If Donald Trump did one thing, he turned politics into a smack deal. And now my good friend, Akineli Adams Adams can motherfucking run for mayor of South Beach. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Are you going to legalize weed? We're going to try to figure out. You're stumbling. You're stumbling. That's the first issue for you. That's all I want. I'm only supporting you because you're going to legalize weed.
Starting point is 00:06:37 We're going to try to legalize topless dancing, topless walking on the beach. That's secondary to me. That's firstary to me. When it comes to the weed, we're definitely going to look into it. We got to try to change South Beach. Let's secondary to me. That's secondary to me. When it comes to the weed, we definitely going to look into it. We got to try to change South Beach.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Let's make some noise for Les Penelope. I might quite possibly have the Mayhem of South Beach number 20. Make yourself useful. Where's the bottle of Ciroc that we use in this open? Shout out to Ciroc. Yeah, come on. Yes, yes. But is it just South Beach or all Miami Beach?
Starting point is 00:07:03 South Beach. They're their own city now? They're their own city. South Beach, yes. How long has that been? That's how it works. I didn't even know that, man. So North Beach and South Beach are completely separated when it comes to that.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Okay. So what was the process for you to actually put yourself on the ballot? The process is we sit there. We were going through. We actually started because we were building a nightclub over there. We're building a King of Diamonds slash V Live on Ocean Drive. V Live from Houston, correct? Definitely.
Starting point is 00:07:30 V Live, they're like the young brand coming up. They're good. They deal with a lot of entertainers, a lot of dancers. Drake just shot his video there for Child's Play. Oh, there you go. And we felt that they were up and coming. And we felt like King of Diamonds was like the brand that we kind of branded and built. We felt like we were the LeBron James and they were like the Steve Curry, you know?
Starting point is 00:07:48 But not saying that since LeBron won it that we're better than them. They're like the up and coming. They're the future. So instead of them taking us out, we just blend in and combine together. Now, is there a beef with King of Diamonds at all? Like, were you on King of Diamonds? Nah, I mean, it just happens. It was like we own the brand name over there,
Starting point is 00:08:06 so now we're just moving our talents to South Beach. That's all it is. That's expensive. That sounds expensive. Pretty much. When we got to South Beach, everybody out there was petitioning against us, and we didn't understand what was happening.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Not at all. You know, we tried. We tried to get this nigga acai for 25 years. That's why you still know it to me, trying to get him acai. Come on, come on. Come on, man. Who's everyone?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Who's everyone? Everyone. Everyone on South Beach. The older people on South Beach when I sat there at the meeting and then I was wondering like we're the first black-owned business on Ocean Drive
Starting point is 00:08:37 that ever happened. So 35 years ago, black people weren't even allowed on Ocean Drive. Like for you to go to Ocean Drive, you had to have a card signed by the captain, the chief of police had to sign. And at 8 p.m., all black people had to be off the beach.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Like a permit to be off the beach. 35 years ago. Just 35 short years ago. They had signs saying no coons, no kites, no dogs, no nothing. 35 years ago on the beach. So when I went to this meeting, everybody there was like 60 years old. And I realized it wasn't about King of Diamonds on the beach. It was about we're the only black-owned stuff on the beach.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And then there was no one there to represent us, I felt. And I figured, hey, let's give it a shot. We did it integrated. We slipped in. We bought a building. And that's what it is. And we're doing nothing different from what Mangles is doing, from what Clevelanders is doing.
Starting point is 00:09:26 This is on 13th and Ocean. Let's big that up, goddammit. 13th and Ocean, baby. Did you hear what he said? You said 35 years ago, right? 35 years. I'm 41. That wasn't that long ago. That's it. And a lot of people don't know that. It wasn't that long ago. So with South Beach,
Starting point is 00:09:42 we're here to try to integrate it right now and have fun. When we got there urban life out there, it's big. When you go to Mango's, you go to Wet Willie's, you see a lot of blacks just over there. And they spend their money. But there's no place where you can get hip-hop music. There's no place where you can get soulful guys. Are you going to have a secretary of stripper? We're going to have a secretary.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Like you know how they say, secretary of defense. Are you going to have a secretary of getting butt naked? Definitely. General stripper? We're probably going to have a secretary of getting butt naked. Definitely. General Stripper? We're probably going to try to elect Luke Skywalker. Yo, listen. We were trying to get a surprise. Luke, I think, does a mayor have a vice mayor?
Starting point is 00:10:14 Is there a vice mayor? We're going to try to do everything. We're going to make it as we go. You and Luke. Definitely. That would be crazy, man. That would be crazy, you and Luke. So what made you, so when all right so when you seen them
Starting point is 00:10:25 acting funny is that what sparked the idea for you to run for mayor that's what sparked it because i felt it was like a modern day lynching everyone is there saying we don't want this here we don't want nudity we was um we was charged with a crime that we didn't even commit we didn't even open when you go to mangoes and you go to clevelander and i those places. I see girls with body paint on, dancing and stripping. The thing that got me alert was when I looked into the numbers, Mango's is making $30 million a year. And all they did was clean their act up. They just took the smut out of it. It's kind of like back in the days you would watch the rappers.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Like you can't see straight pussy, but you can see thong. You can have great imagination when you're there. You know, it's still fists in the air hitting pelvis which is a hump at the end of the day, you know? So when you see it,
Starting point is 00:11:09 I was like, wow, and they're making 30 million a year doing this and we're on the other side of the bridge going hard.
Starting point is 00:11:14 We're breaking sweats. We got everything coming out of every girl's ear and all that so it was like, damn. I said, yo,
Starting point is 00:11:20 let's just try to clean it up and try to get a piece of that money right there. When we tried to do that, that was the problem. They offered me like a million dollars to pack up and leave. You know, but I kept it real. I told them bring it in cash and I'll go. Who offered that?
Starting point is 00:11:36 The people. The people. The man. The man. The people that Kyle would talk about. So, now, what was your first strip club? Um, damn.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And oh, um, it wasn't hush. No, it was a place in medallions in Manhattan, 38th street that I had with a friend of mine named F. It was a little hole in the wall. It was great.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Was that the spot off the Lincoln tunnel when you get out the Lincoln tunnel? Right, right. When you get out the Lincoln tunnel, you go upstairs. It was great. The girls look beautiful downstairs. Yeah. Girls look beautiful. Bullet Right, right. When you get out the Lincoln Tunnel and you go upstairs, it was great. The girls look beautiful. Go downstairs. Yeah, girls look beautiful.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Bullet holes, everything. You had the bullet holes at the time. I'm so sorry. Beautiful bullet holes. I'm so sorry for them. This was like 1996 around that era. So now, that was your first strip club. Now, what made you get into the strip club business initially, period? Like, you know, here you are.
Starting point is 00:12:29 You're an established rapper. You've done, you had major deals. You've had major hits. What makes you say, I'm going to sell pussy without selling pussy? When I was coming up, I was making, my first album was titled Vagina Diner. That's a fact. That makes a noise. So that was the first album.
Starting point is 00:12:49 The first album was titled vagina diner that's the fact the first album was titled vagina diner so it was always about sex for me it was always an angle coming down that was like i believe um 1991 so he's the original horny montana yes there we go i like that i'm taking that so when i when that album came out it wasn't no internet it album came out, it wasn't no internet. It wasn't no radio. It wasn't no daytime radio for me. I lived in strip clubs. My songs just played in there. They broke in there.
Starting point is 00:13:12 For me to break a record, I would have to stay on the road for approximately two years for one song to get out. And I went from strip club to strip club to strip club. I used to run with a friend of mine. She was in porn. Her name was Heather Hunter back then. Shut up. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Porn stars. Having porn stars for mine. She was important. I name was Heather hunter back then No, the friend we had the hunter she was like yo open this and I opened one and I couldn't believe what it was and We have it and it was life imitating art, you know For Heather Hunter on my record member. I wanted her my record. Yeah Yeah, yeah, Heather Hunter was beautiful. It's a fact. It's a fact. Actually, you know, they reached out.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Somebody reached out for Heather to be on the show. Heather Hunter, she more than welcome, God damn it. We need to know how you do it. How you do it, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:13:54 God damn it, how you do it. Because she's still looking young. She out here strong. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? God damn it. Heather's beautiful. Heather's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:14:01 When I sit with Heather, me and Heather used to ride and we used to just talk about fuck. I was like, so who'd you fuck? And she would just go in. Were you rubbing your nipples at that time? No.
Starting point is 00:14:12 You know we gotta get to that story. That's a beautiful story. We got to it. I'm here all night, don't worry. Okay, now how does, alright, cool. So, what year was you signed to Interscope Records? Signed to Interscope Records, I believe, in 1990.

Starting point is 00:14:45 It was a guy named Lars Professor. Yes. And then it was two guys that he was kind of bringing out, and he introduced the world to on Live at the Barbecue, which is hands down one of my favorite hip-hop records. People think that I say that because I had somebody on there from Left Frack. Right. But regardless of you being from Left Frack and being my childhood friend,
Starting point is 00:15:02 that was just one of the illest records of that time. Right. So how did that record come together, Live at the Barbecue? It came with my man, Lars Professor. We used to go to school together, but he used to rap. And we was like, yo, come to the studio one day. Then he introduced me to a young kid in there. And the kid was kind of dope.

Starting point is 00:15:34 one day. And it's funny, we used to ride the train every day together. You and Nas. Me and Nas would just walk for hours. We'd just walk for hours through the city. You know, and it was funny, even when Nas was getting his deal originally, Nas had decided to like stop city. It was funny, even when Nas getting his deal originally, Nas had decided to stop rapping.

Then we hit live at the barbecue with Lawrence Professor, and then we just took off from there running. But I was always on sex. Sex sells.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Right. And then you also developed this. Right. How did that come up? That was just back in the days, just having fun. When you was coming up back then, you have to have style. You have to have a whole lane to make yourself stand out from everyone else. So that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And then for me, I was real competitive. It was like when you make records, you compete. Then I seen the lane. It was like for me, I felt like, yo, go the sex route. And back then, everyone was like, ah, man, you're selling out. But today, I outlived all of my peers who was out there. So it's like I still love the red mans. I still love the buckshot shorties.
Starting point is 00:18:53 I still talk to the Lord Finesse's. But it's like sex is universal. Everybody wants to learn about it. Everybody wants to grow about it. It's timeless.

But it's like, then hearing the actual record, that's a big part for me. Right. When you heard it, was it like, yeah, they did it justice? Or was you like, oh, I would have did it a little bit different?
Starting point is 00:36:41 How did you feel about that? I just appreciated it. When you're an artist and you go hard and you grind, you learn to find the best out of everybody and you learn to find the best out of every artist. So you appreciate it and you appreciate the fun that he's having
Starting point is 00:36:55 on the record and they're just going and the concept is still carrying on the same tradition. So you're fully satisfied. Fully satisfied. And it was dope. They asked him, who do you want or who would you see on this record?

Starting point is 00:43:43 We'd go on stage together every night. Oh, my God. So we would practice shows together the road together. He would sing Ain't No Nigga. I'd sing Put It In Your Mouth. We'd go on stage together every night. Oh, my God. So we would practice shows together every night. Every night. Me, him, Dane Dash hit the stage every night. So we'll do it. Jazzo was there. Jazzo, but this after Jazzo now.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Now, you know, Nas is gone. Now we get the originator. Right, Nas is gone. Then Jay-Z starts taking off. So when Jay-Z starts taking off, it gets weird now. You know, me and Jay, we're in a different place. I'm like, it was Acapella and Rockefeller records. So we were going.
Starting point is 00:44:12 This ain't about history, you motherfuckers. Right. So at that point, Jay-Z got to a point where he got real big. Me and Nas was always best friends. You know, we from Law and Professor. So with Jay-Z, I was like, it was to the point where Jay was so big that when you have
Starting point is 00:44:27 to put a record out, you have to go to Jay. Like, I'm going to put a record out in October. Is it cool? He's like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:44:32 all right. You know? And I was like, yo, Jay, this isn't right. You got this number one spot. This isn't right,
Starting point is 00:44:37 man. And I felt the way. I'm like, yo, you over here. We is here. You over here. Even when I see him to,
Starting point is 00:44:44 when I see him, I'm like, son, let me hold something. There ain't even no play. It's like, let me hold something. What are we talking about, man? So with Jay and us, we would always hit the road. We would go, and that's how that got started. All right. So now, you know these guys.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Maybe you sense the animosity because one was with, you said, y'all was with Lars Professor and they were with? Jazzo. Jazzo. They were with Jazzo. Right. Oh, I thought you said they was with Clark Kent. I don't know why I thought that.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Original flavor. Original flavor. So now, they both become Nas. Right. They both become Jay-Z. Right. Now, you hear become Jay-Z. Right. Now, you hear about this beef brewing. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:28 What is your first? Oh, for me, when it's going down, it's funny. You know, Dame Dash, when you listen to Dame, Dame will say, I can tell you started the whole beef. You know? Yo, I do remember that. Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Time out. Time out. Yo, I swear to God, if you wouldn't have said that, I wouldn't have remembered. But as soon as you said it, let's break this down. Why did he? Oh, my God. Oh, are we breaking another fucking news? Are we breaking another news?
Starting point is 00:45:55 Okay, go ahead. So Dame always felt like Ox started the Nas and Jay beats. Because me and Jay and Dame would sit in a room, and we would be like, I would be like, yo, Jay, this isn't right. And he'd be like, what's not right? I'm like, that you're all the way here
Starting point is 00:46:08 and we're here. Like, that doesn't make sense to me. What's going on? What are you talking about? Nas, Nas wasn't there like that. You know, now Jay was moving, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:15 and I'm like, this isn't right. We got to ask you and we got to, but we was all friends. Remember, we're bologna sandwiches. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:21 I'm talking at a different angle. I'm like, we never knew they ate bologna sandwiches. I'm like, this isn't right. You all the way here and we're here. So, you know, I'm talking at a different angle. We never knew they ate bologna sandwiches. I'm like, this isn't right. You all the way here and we're here.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Like, this is crazy. And then he was like, whatever. Then we got real cool. Then they went at each other. Then when they went at each other, me and Noms was always cool. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:46:38 But my question, I'm sorry, because I want you to get through all of that. Right. Don't you dare cut that off. Yeah, but when it started, like,
Starting point is 00:46:48 and they ain't through all of that. Right. Don't you dare cut that off. Yeah, but when it started, like, and Dame blamed you for that. Right. Why? What was that moment? I think Dame kind of blamed it because me and both of them was cool. Me and Nas came in it together. Me and Jay kind of hitched up more because when Nas started blowing, it was me and Jay going, you know?
Starting point is 00:47:05 And when me and Jay was going, when they caught their deal with Def Jam, I'm thinking, yo, Rockefeller, Rockefeller, what are we doing? And it kind of got kind of different, so at that time, I went on with Jessica Rosenblum. So then we started our own stuff. So it was pretty good. And then when they went through their turbulence,
Starting point is 00:47:22 it's competitive, it's competitive, you know? When they went through their turbulence, at that point, it's competitive, you know? When they went through their turbulence, at that point, me and Jay, we were, like, Jay and them would always call me just for, Dame and Jay would, it came to a point where they would just call me for bad news. They would be like, hey, it's me and Jay on the phone. See that girl you was fucking with last night?
Starting point is 00:47:39 You know she got herpes, right? Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But that's our relationship. Elliot Wilson. Elliot Wilson. Do you know Elliot Wilson? No, I don't know Elliot Wilson.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Well, meet his training. Not as much as the goat that you think you are. So they would always call for bad news. So it was like tension there with us, you know? So we would always have fun like that. And it's still competitive. To this day, like, mentally in their mind, I'm looking at them like, it's like the shit.
Starting point is 00:48:11 I'm like, yo, y'all won. In their mind, they're competing still with me. Like, I'm like, look, y'all motherfuckers won. Like, when I see Nas, like, Nas will call me if it's bad news. Like, I heard you went bankrupt. What's going on? I'm like, what's up, son? How you doing? How's your kids I'm like what's up son how you
Starting point is 00:48:25 doing oh I did everything I know oh yeah I did everything I did everything I did everything I've been sued by everybody okay all right but we're back and we're running for mayor let's keep it hip-hop yes so so they get to this beef right how do you your mind, you saying, these motherfuckers are going to work it out. Yeah, they did eventually. No, I'm saying, in your mind. Yeah, did you know that?
Starting point is 00:48:49 Of course, of course I knew they was. It was like, it was competitiveness with both of them, you know? Nas was against the ropes bad at the beginning, you know?
Starting point is 00:48:56 Right. Nas came back. Both of them were still, you know, strong artists. It's like different segments. Like, Nas probably was stronger on record, but on the show, he wasn't stronger than him. It's like, Rakim was stronger than Bismarck on a record, but on a stage, Bismarck would have tore Rakim up.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Right. So, that's how it was. It was like the arena. So, Nas was just able to kind of get him in that arena. And fortunately, he was able to make a difference. I ain't going to lie. That was the hell that nigga said. I don't even know what he said, but it was hard.
Starting point is 00:49:31 It was hard. That was hard. So now they work it out. Right. Dame ever, like, because I did hear Dame say that. And you know what the crazy shit is? I sent Dame a clip of the 50 cent interview right and in the 50 cent interview obviously you was sitting right there right because I wanted to
Starting point is 00:49:51 show him that we know Dame wherever you at we've read for the dusk old poppet in right on Sam and I sent him and he said I could know he's my nigga yes yes me and Dame we used to run around everywhere. We used to talk. We used to, you know, Dame's really intelligent. I wish they would have worked it out, Dame and Jay, but you know what happens. You know, probably one day we might get with Dame. Dame's really, really brilliant.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Dame comes from the era like a Steve Stout. Steve Stout used to, that's another guy who was a competition with me. He would just be in my mother's house playing Nintendo back in the day. Wait, in Sherwood? Yes. In Sherwood? In Sherwood. That was in Sherwood. Yes, yes.

Starting point is 01:03:26 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 Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,

Starting point is 01:07:48 No, no, no, no, no. I ain't Googling shit. But no, because I wanted to big up my man, and a lot of people don't know who he was. But back in the days, in our hood, prior to it spreading throughout Queens, you were like a battle rapper. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:06 I remember it was a dude named Comedy from our hood. You remember Comedy? Yes. Comedy, that's big old Comedy.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Yes. I hope he was funny. No, actually, no. Actually, he wasn't funny at all. Because he was like,
Starting point is 01:08:21 I guess, the opposite of comedy. Right. Big old comedy. Yeah, like, I mean, he was serious. And I remember, like, he cut up everybody in the hood. But one day, we was in section two. It was the same place where E-Moneybags or, no, no, no, Sheldon had shot, um, um,
Starting point is 01:08:39 Hey, Hard Talk, God Bless the Dead. Right. Hey, Hard Talk, my brother. But it was the same spot. And comedy had challenged you one day. Right. And you had battled comedy, comedy had challenged you one day. Right. And you had battled comedy, like, in a friendly battle. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:48 But you showed them, like, you... How did you transition from battle rapper to actually... It was just, you still compete. You still compete. And I had to just see a wider range of how could I compete with all these... It's like, when it came to battling, I loved it. I used to live for it. Even at night, every night, like on my phone, I would watch URL.
Starting point is 01:09:11 I would watch Smack, the DVD. I'm going to go line for line with you. I'm going to break the song down. I'm going to break the metaphor down. You're talking about to this day. To this day right now. I watch it every night, and I'll see it to this day. That's like my fun.
Starting point is 01:09:24 That's like what I have fun doing. Back then, it was like you would sit there with metaphors and you would go and you would challenge. And it was like fight to the death. That's what it was about. That's what music was about, being competitive and trying to be number one and not number two, number three. Just trying to be number one. And then when I bounced into making sex records, it was like, how could I be competitive and still keep it metaphorically fun for everyone? But is that how you initially started?
Starting point is 01:09:49 You started as a battle rapper? I started when I started. It was like battle rapping. But then it was like battle rapping to be popular. Then it was like battle rapping to get pussy. Then it was like, that's what I'm about, pussy. Let's just keep doing it. Yeah, and then it was like that's what i'm about pussy yeah and he was like this is cool i'm right here and that's how that went now also see you got a ring on yeah what does that mean i was married i was look look this is a good story i was i was i'm well damn i think we're still married. But it was like, right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:10:26 It's a good story. It's a good story. I was in, I'm in the strip game. I'm in strip clubs. I met a girl in the strip club. You know, one day she held me down. We rolled out together. Then she turned into my wife, you know.
Starting point is 01:10:38 At first, I would look at all the strippers as the whole sluts and the bitches. But then I was loose when I was young. Like, I fought a lot of great STDs in my life, you know? That's why you always keep fighting the STDs. So, at that point there, and it was like, I was fucking more single ladies, more girls who was married, more girls. It wasn't the strippers. The strippers wasn't the hoes.
Starting point is 01:11:02 That's like one of the biggest myths out there, you know? It was the regular girl. It was the girl who worked in the doctor office. It was the girl who went to the local... The one living the lie. Yeah, the one living the lie.
Starting point is 01:11:11 That burns you. Yes, all the time. The space and noise from the bitches, that burns you. Right, right, right. So it's like, it's like with her,
Starting point is 01:11:20 we met, we did it, we had fun. Everybody's like, yo, how you marrying a stripper? How you doing this but at the end of the day it was like yo this was the people who was here for me at the end so it's like and then if i'm in this game here i might as well it's like i'm a circle i realized i was a circle everybody else was l7 the letter l and seven is a square so people are just squares and
Starting point is 01:11:38 they're in a square relationship i'm a circle i'm gonna go different so we did it it was the time of our life and after that um it just didn't work one day But it's like it's like it's like I'm married to the game still like I'm in the game idea I live around it. I breathe it. I eat it nothing changes for me, and that's what it is Are you sure you're not hard-working a little bit? No, I'm not a man take the ring off goddammit not at all when you when you when you marry into what you love you Didn't you married her, the stripper, the game. Then you're still in it. And this is what you love. And this is what you represent.
Starting point is 01:12:11 And you tell everybody that story. And then some people say, what if something happens to you? She inherits everything. I say, me and her ran through so many back streets. She deserves everything at the end of the day. So it's like, fuck it. Not to me. That's my nigga. If it's over, goddammit, it's over, goddammit. It's me, because I'm a petty nigga. I'm sorry. We established that I'm already petty, correct?
Starting point is 01:12:35 Alright, let's make some noise for me being petty. I definitely know he's 100% a better man than me from that statement alone, because if it's over, God damn it, take everything. Listen, I'm an Indian giver. Right. Listen. Listen.
Starting point is 01:12:53 While you're with me, it's all love or doubt. As soon as you leave me, I don't even fucking know you. That's the type of guy I am. I'm sorry. Real shit, real shit. And he's the same type of guy. I don't know what shit, real shit And Ian Bennett Is the same type of guy I don't know He's the best

Starting point is 01:13:23 Big as the other Real shit So now. Yes. So are we going to run for mayor? We're going to run for mayor. But right before we run for mayor, too, at the same token, we're going to open up our new venture on South Beach. I'll call King of Diamonds V Live like we're coming together.
Starting point is 01:13:37 It's like Baskin's and Robin and Dunkin Donuts combining together. And we're going to be on Ocean Drive there. And we're going to try to shoot to make their $30 million a year just like the other mangoes just like cleveland or just like wet willies to compete with all the other surrounding clubs out there and that's what we're doing and in the midst of that we ran into a bump in the road which um alerted me to say hey i would like to be me and then we want to have the most beautiful entertainers from all over the world working there each girl should bare minimum have 100,000 followers on her Instagram to even be there.
Starting point is 01:14:08 We want it to be the best of the best. That's definitely a modern criteria. If you don't have that, then you got to be something special. Chaos is going to be there. Yes, chaos is definitely going to be there. Charlie's interested in chaos. Listen, I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 01:14:24 I'm going to be honest. I. I'm going to be honest. I don't want to be a part of your campaign. I want to help support your campaign. Right. Because you know I shot niggas.
Starting point is 01:14:31 You know that, right? Yes, I do. All right. So, you know, you don't want to be a part of that. That's in your past. No, he's set them up
Starting point is 01:14:37 to collect phone calls. Yes, Norma used to be in jail when he was young and he was good. He was good. He would call me. I know I was trash me I didn't know I was trash
Starting point is 01:14:48 I didn't know what to describe it was good Nori would call me and the phone would ring and say you have a collect call and this is like
Starting point is 01:14:55 you know way back then a poppy back then right he's a poppy I would accept the calls he would you know I'm competitive I love it
Starting point is 01:15:02 so I find the best of my own Nori's like you know he's high in his style I'm like catming I love it So I find the best of my own Nori's like You know He's high in his style I'm like Cat Word up
Starting point is 01:15:08 Alright Yeah so I would collect I would accept Nori's phone calls Every day And listen to his rhymes And all that That's why when he came out
Starting point is 01:15:19 You know It was fun for me to say Yo I'm bringing him on the road With us you know Right Brought him on the road And then Yes you did It was wild Because I watched Nori go, just like Jay-Z and them.
Starting point is 01:15:29 I watched Nori with what, what, what, what, what, you know, all his records coming out. And then it was like metamorphosis when we had to change when Nori calls me up when they say, yo, you want to come on the road with me? No, no, I said please. It's like the road reversed. First, I was saying, yo, I got somebody coming to the stage. His name is Noriega. Then Norie's reversed, like, I got someone coming to the stage. As is life.
Starting point is 01:15:50 And then it was fun. It was, yes. But let me get back to Big and Him more. Yes. Because I just recently did a show with Dopalo. Right. And I literally told, literally in my mind was like, I'm going to do this stage like Awk would do it.
Starting point is 01:16:06 But with my music. Right, my music You know what I'm saying That was something that You hands down taught me That the stage Is everything Cause You gotta realize you had a hit record That the radio
Starting point is 01:16:22 Couldn't really play at a certain time Is that true? Yes, it was true. And your whole thing was just based on your stage presence. Ooh, because think about it. When can they play Put It In Your Mouth? Right. That's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:16:36 It's a fucked up song, even if you were grown people. If you were a grown person who's still thinking that's disrespectful. It wasn't no internet back then. It wasn't no nothing like that. It wasn no mixtapes because i put that motherfucker out right right right and then you know here and there you'll hear it so it's basically you have to go on the stage you have to be able to do your shit on the stage in order for it to work so it was like even with nori i would watch him do the shows and nori would come to all the shows with us and watch it and we would practice the shows and it funny. It's like I'm 45 years old.
Starting point is 01:17:06 So when I talk to girls, they don't know I'm on the stage at all. But it's cool. But it's like I would also, when I'm booking artists at clubs now, I'm able to look them in the face and say, son, you're not that hot. Just relax, man. Like, this shit is cool. We're like, take this $10,000 and come on. And they understand it.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Because they like, an artist is an artist on and they understand it because they like they're artists as an artist so they understand like i know him i follow his records all right you know i i did a metaphor for metaphor with him so it was like we would do the stage i remember noriega at um apollo one time apollo theater and i was like this when nori was first really breaking and i was like look man i think somebody else big was on the show but I know at that point there, I knew I was pretty strong too so I said, I'm going to come with Nori
Starting point is 01:17:50 and mentally help him tear this shit up. No, no, no. He deposed you? No, no. It was good money. You being humble. Listen,
Starting point is 01:17:58 I was there drunk and you know, this is why I like sober people. You always got to have a sober friend have a sober friend cause a sober friend gonna look at your monkey ass
Starting point is 01:18:07 and be like you fucked up but you don't know you can be in tonight and I took over the whole show and made sure we killed that
Starting point is 01:18:16 that night I remember that I remember that and it was crazy because I come from the era that it wasn't stage performance like it was like no it was stage performance I come from the era that it wasn't stage performance.
Starting point is 01:18:25 Like, it was like, no, it was stage performance, too, but that was secondary. Right. It was always about in the studio. But you came from the era right before me and stage performance. And I always appreciate you for that. But continue. Definitely. So it was like when we go there, I remember Nori and I'm like, little fuck it.
Starting point is 01:18:40 We're going to go help him and we're going to go make this shit good. And we'll go. And it was at two shows that night. And that's when I kind of seen him going to the whole other level. Then at one point, Nori got up here too. So then Nori was, he got on the Jay-Z nods. I was like, me and Nori would call me. I'm not going in.
Starting point is 01:18:57 He's sitting on me. I ain't. It's funny. It's funny. Like me and Nori, it would be funny when we'll call each other, we would introduce each other like, yo, let me hold sign. Yo, yo. So it would just stop the conversation.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Nah, nah, let me stop this. Let me stop this. One day I'm in the car with Ack. Listen, listen, listen. One day I'm hanging out with Ack. Ack is my motherfucking Ack. And I'm sitting and Ack says to me, yo, watch this. This nigga's's gonna ask me
Starting point is 01:19:25 for money right so he gets a phone call I'm in the car with I so he answers the phone but it's on speaker so he's like yo what's going on and then he looking at me and then I go and then the guy goes yo can I hold something
Starting point is 01:19:40 so I said I rush to him he's like can I hold it I was like can I hold something he says it right before he can say it can I hold something? So I said, I can rush this up. He's like, can I hold it? I was like, can I hold something? He says it right before he can say it. And since then, I was like, I'm using that. Whenever I know
Starting point is 01:19:53 somebody's calling me like, yo, what's going on? Can I speak? Listen, whenever somebody texts you, say,
Starting point is 01:19:58 yo, I got to holler at you. It's like, hold up, what the fuck? What can't you holler at me when the text? Because sometimes a nigga just really be really busy. And they're like, no, you it's like hold up what can't you holler at me when attacked because sometimes the just really be really busy and they're like no i gotta holler at you it's almost 90 of the time they're
Starting point is 01:20:12 gonna say let me all stop right right so as soon as they do that i'm like i ain't got it but i learned that from your ass man definitely how many people would you say, try to hold something from you in the hood? In left rack city, let's just keep it real. Shout out to everybody in left rack city. Shout out to everybody, everybody make some noise for my guy. You told me to let me hold something. I still use that to this day. Right. As a matter of fact, I still use that to this day. Right. As a matter of fact. Right.
Starting point is 01:20:45 I still use that to this day. Right. Because, yo, you was the first rap star. I mean, Soul Sisters was kind of from left rack. Right. Would you agree? Right. But they were like originally born in Brooklyn or something like that.
Starting point is 01:20:59 Yes. Then they moved to left rack, so they kind of never really repped left rack. Right. Then Kenny Anderson, Kenny Smith did it on the sports basketball front, but he was the first star in Left Frack City. How did, because I
Starting point is 01:21:13 remember you used to, I write me the shows and you used to be like, come by yourself, because you knew that everybody from Left Frack wanted to go to your shows. Just how was that in that time period? In that time period, it was cool growing up. I would always tell Norrie, come by yourself, because Norrie was with a whole wild crew, and incidents would just happen all the time.
Starting point is 01:21:30 You taught me. But we came there, we came up, and we just had fun. Right, right. You know what was a funny time when we was on tour, too, as well? One time you said, yo, you rolling like Nelly in the St. Lunatics. Right? Right. And I was like, word?

Starting point is 01:22:34 with Jay. What made, and then, you're successful because you was on Interscope. Interscope is probably the biggest record label
Starting point is 01:22:43 ever. Like, let's talk about the Interscope, just being on Interscope. Because was you there probably the biggest record label ever. Let's talk about the Interscope. Was you there before Death Row? Yeah. When we got there, Death Row, they just came that next year.
Starting point is 01:22:55 It was kind of a wild place. Was it new? Was Jimmy Iovine just starting? Jimmy Iovine was just starting over there. Jimmy Iovine and Ted Field was there still. It was like, we did it. We went over there. That was the first deal I signed.
Starting point is 01:23:09 I believe that was in... That's crazy. Yeah, that was like in 1991, and they gave me $500,000, and from there it was on. That was it. Let's make some noise here and give it up for our crowd. Thank you.

Starting point is 01:23:39 Was there And then Interscope And Now you're owning Strip Club. Yes. What are you more happy in? What field? It's the same field.
Starting point is 01:23:52 It's like it's still the entertainment field. It just transitions over. It's just like the basketball player. They play, then eventually they start coaching the team. Just like the boxer. He boxes, then next thing you know, he's walking somebody in the ring. You know, it's like the entertainer. then next thing you know he's walking somebody in the ring you know it's like the entertainer you entertain you compete now you get on another level where you compete art art imitates life if you're rapping about drugs and eventually you're gonna
Starting point is 01:24:14 stop and you're gonna get into drug game and you're gonna go for it you know i was rapping about sex so for me it was only right to say hey get in this lane i could identify what good talent was from girls on that side.

Starting point is 01:52:01 Too funny style. Come on. Come on. It's my story, all right? So back in the days, we used to think, like, the people that did that was corny. Until, but mind you, people that never left New York still thinks like that. But when you go to, like, I couldn't believe, like, you know, guys used to hang out in strip clubs. Like, Players Club helped a whole lot.
Starting point is 01:52:22 Because they was like, wow, this is not corny people and then you get to see like women who are not hoes like they were saying that earlier like i think that's an important part of the strip club uh uh whatever you call it the biggest yeah it's like it's like when i went to um i think atlanta right like i couldn't remember my first time in Atlanta. I think I was with you as well. Like, there's so many girls which is, was doing their thing, going home, getting dressed, and like, going to take care of their kids. And I was like, whoa. Right.
