Okay.
It's for you, God.
It's for my boy.
So, let me ask you a question
while we're getting it together.
Talk to me.
The first Ghetto Boy album,
you wasn't a part of the first Ghetto Boy album?
No, I wasn't there yet.
I was still a kid, man.
I think they probably,
I was probably like 10 or 12
when they did that motherfucker.
Wow, but was Bushwick and? Willie D. And Willie D a part of it? Willie wasn't a part, man. I think they probably, I was probably like 10 or 12 when they did that motherfucker. Wow, but was Bushwick and
Willie D? Willie wasn't a
part of it. I think Bill was a dancer,
in all honesty. Really? He was a dancer
in the beginning. It was like mid-80s or
87, 86?
80, I don't know.
Like 85, 86,
I was probably 14, 15
years old. Wow.
So, how did, So how did this happen?
J Prince is looking for rappers?
The crazy shit, man, is like,
I remember doing a song with Beato and Bruce
and Def Jam Blast and Lil Troy called Scarface.
Wow. Wow.
Yeah.
So that wasn't your name then?
No.
Oh,
what?
I did the record,
I did a record called Scarface
because,
you know,
we thought we was the shit,
man.
We was selling rocks
and you couldn't tell us nothing.
We had fucking 38s
and we'd shoot you,
you know,
no big deal.
That's what happens.
That's what happens.
Yeah,
shit happens.
I told you what I'm saying.
So that's how you got digs, for real.
Yeah, for real.
On life.
And we ended up doing a record called Scarface, man.
And then, you know, the shit kind of spreaded out wild in the streets.
And before I knew it, man, there was this little dude.
That little motherfucker had on more diamonds than I had ever seen in my life.
He had a big white two-door convertible 560 custom at my little townhouse.
I'm like, man, who in the fuck is this?
And he knocked on the door
and we opened the door
and shit
and it was Lil' James.
And you knew
who he was prior to this?
Hell no.
Oh.
I heard it.
Right, right, right.
You know,
I didn't know who Lil' James was.
You know,
it's two different sides
of Houston.
Right.
So it was the north side
and the south side.
Yeah.
And,
man, James came to the south side, bro. Right. So it was the north side and the south side. And, man,
James came to the south side, bro.
And he knocked on my motherfucking
door. Wow.
So, and, you know, later on,
you hear, um,
you hear
different stories and shit,
man, when I really got to
know James, you know,
over the past 34 years,
when that nigga knock on your door, it's some serious shit.
It's some serious shit.
So cuz knocked on my door, and I was like, what the fuck?
How did you find me?
Like, how did you find me?
Man, I'm literally a needle in the haystack right now.
All right.
But you was a dope MC.
Was you a DJ too?
I was a DJ too, yeah.
Wow.
So he comes to your house
and he tells you he wants you to be down
with this group called the Ghetto Boys
that already had an album out.
Yes.
So how did you feel about that?
I didn't want to do it.
Wow.
And then my fucking brother, man,
he was in jail and called me. He was what? He was in jail and called me
He was what?
He was in jail
And called you?
And called me
And told me
Man I heard you say I rap a lot
What?
Man I'm going to kill you
When I get out of here
Wow he didn't like the rap a lot?
Nah we didn't fuck with nothing
We didn't know nothing about the north side
We've been used to
Oh
Oh makes sense
Okay
Okay
So even signing to him Signing to him was like a bad move.
Okay.
Especially for your hood.
Did you get slack coming back to the hood after you signed?
Shit, I can't say that.
Right.
Okay.
I can't say that.
I got slack about it.
I may have heard some, damn, man, you went to them niggas over there, man.
But there wasn't no
real
beef about it, you know what I mean?
Right.
We didn't really do beef too well.
How old was you when you did
My Mind's Playing Tricks on me?
I was probably about 19.
Do you understand your verse
still is relevant to this day
I was going through some shit man
Right right right
Yeah
And I tell you something too
This shit don't stop
Right
Like I'm always going through some shit man
It depends on what day it is
You know
They'll determine the type of shit I'm going through
They say that's why Whitney Houston wrote some great shit
It's cause they went through some shit
Probably more than likely.
So what the fuck was you going through when your mind was playing tricks on me?
And then you're the only one that has two verses on there.
No, I was actually three verses.
Because you wrote the whole song.
That's what it is.
That was your song?
It was.
And then I didn't write Willie's part.
Willie chimed in.
So something that happened, I gave the record to James.
And it was my verse.
It was,
And I can't sleep, I toss and turn,
and day by day it's more impossible to cope,
and then this year Halloween fell on the weekend.
Those were all my three verses, right?
And then James went to California one day,
and she came back another day,
and it was Willie on it.
And you had new Willie? It was a big-ass record, huh? You had new Willie prior to that, or no? Yeah, I And you had new Willie? It was the biggest record.
You had new Willie
prior to that or no?
Yeah, I did.
I knew Willie.
This was the second record.
Okay.
The first record was
Grip It.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
But the second,
yeah,
and you know,
I'm glad,
I'm kind of glad
the Ghetto Boys
got on their record
because it makes it
that much bigger.
Right.
And that was the original beat?
Yeah, that was the original. Nothing changed on the beat. Wow. Because it makes it that much bigger. Right. And that was the original beat? Yeah.
When it was your original?
Nothing changed on the beat.
Wow.
And so when I got a chance
to work on my solo album,
and this was the main goal
for me signing with Rap-A-Lot
in the first place
because I got to work
on my solo album.
Right.
So I produced
shit, 98% of my whole solo album.
Wow.
So I made the beats
and all of that shit.
Wow.
Yeah. Like, Were you always producing?
Always.
Damn.
I'm probably a better producer
than I am rapper.
Damn shit.
You're one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Am I probably a better producer than rapper?
No, man.
That's been my DJ for like the past 25, 26 years.
So you say what?
Oh, man.
That's close, man.
You talking about beats?
Listen.
Like, I got beats.
I'm going to tell you,
you gave me a slice of humble pie one day.
I don't know.
I know you don't remember this.
One day I had a show with you.
I heard you tell this story, man.
That's not true.
You tell the story all the time.
It's not fucking true, man. This is the truth. That's not true. That's not fucking true, man.
This is the truth. It's not true.
I can't drop facts.
Let me tell you guys, I want to say it in front of your face
because, like, it wasn't
me. It was somebody at my camp that got a little,
you know, cocky,
I want to say. And it was like,
yo, you know, Tusho had just came in. He just
ripped it and just left. So he didn't care who
went first or whatever And they said
They said
Yeah, so you know, face is coming late
So
Yeah, because you're going to
I'm listening, man
I'm passing
So they was like, yo
Do you mind going first?
And one of my homies was like
Nah, man, we got the platinum record right now We going last And I kid you not Do you mind going first? And one of my homies was like Nah man
We got the platinum record right now
We going last
And I kid you not
When Scarface came out man
And all the records that you was playing
And I'm talking about
The whole audience was your hype man
Like the audience was the hype man
I walked out there by myself
You know my dude
And listen to me
And this is a killer
This is the one that really, really killed me.
Was,
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.
Love you to the best.
Love you to Mary Jane.
And the crowd just sung.
I wanted to get the promoter back his money.
I let you hear.
Take this shit back.
I'm not going after that.
You gave me some fucking goddamn humble pie.
Since then, I go immediately.
As soon as they go, I go on stage.
Let's go.
I will never take that chance again.
You know what I mean?
It's a lot of people.
Like, we fight with managers all the time
because it's just, I do not want to go last.
And I don't give a fuck who it is.
Wow.
I don't.
Wow.
I don't give a fuck, you know what I mean?
Because what I'm going to do, what Short going to do,
what Juvie going to do, what 8-Ball MJG going to do,
what DMX going to do, what Cube going to do,
is they going to beat that crowd ass.
Right.
And by the time you all got there last,
the motherfucker's going to be like,
dead.
I can give you
another humbling moment.
It was one time
DMX had just dropped
both of his albums.
He was the number one dude
Oh, fucking right.
on the planet.
And I called you one day,
or you called me
or something,
and DMX was literally
air hustling.
Because I said,
face mob or something like that.
He was literally air hustling.
It was like,
you smoked a Scarface?
And he was so much
of a fan of you.
Do you know how much
DMX loved you?
I think we were
really good friends, man.
You know?
It wasn't,
I don't think we fanned out.
I think it was like,
I can't let you be humble on this one.
He was your fan.
Nothing.
He was one million percent.
He loved to say it.
Nah, Face, I can't let you get away with that.
I know you're a humble guy.
No, man, don't be like that.
You was DMX's favorite.
I'm talking about, and like I said, that was the first time.
This was after DMX was, he was platinum hair and platinum hair.
I literally didn't think this guy was a human.
That was the first human moment I've ever seen DMX's. because he was platinum hair and platinum hair. I literally didn't think this guy was a human.
That was the first human moment I've ever seen DMX's
when I called you or you called me
and I was just like, your face mobbed.
I said something like that and he was like,
you speaking the Scarface?
And I was like, that's the first time I said,
DMX is a human.
Like I always thought he was a dog.
Like I swear to God.
Like I swear to God, I swear to God.
But I mean.
Now this is fun though mean He's top five too
Yeah
Did you know
How much ex love you?
Man I know how much
Ex love me as a human
Right
You know
Outside of the music shit
You know
We talked
You know a lot
And we had this
Ongoing joke
When we saw each other
It was like
God damn, Earl.
But you didn't do it now.
And then we just bust our laughing, bro.
That was y'all relationship? You called him Earl and he called you Brad?
Yeah, fucking right. Because a lot of people call you Brad.
I'm not comfortable calling you Brad. I'm calling you Face Marl
for the rest of my life.
You was running for governor with City Council
or some shit. I was still saying,
Scarface Face Marl, I'm sorry.
You know I made it to the runoff with that shit.
I made it to the runoff.
You made it to the runoff.
Yeah, man,
and I beat that lady,
but they fucking cheated me
with the fucking
ballot harvesting, man.
What the hell is that?
I don't even know what that is.
It's like when people
just sign people names
and mail that shit in.
Sign their folks in.
Yeah.
Yeah, so what made you
run for city council?
Man, because ain't
nobody doing shit.
Wow. You know, everybody see what's happening, man, and they talking about council? Man, because ain't nobody doing shit. Wow.
You know, everybody see what's happening, man,
and they talking about what's happening,
but ain't nobody doing shit, man.
We steady marching.
I ain't trying to march no more.
We not going to change, you know, legislation,
and we ain't going to amend the laws that's already in place.
Don't make no new laws.
Get in the trunk here.
Yeah, no, fix the old laws that they already got in fucking place, bro. Fix that shit first. All right. And then start coming up with some new laws. Get in the trunk here. Yeah, no, fix the old laws that they already got in fucking place, bro.
Fix that shit first.
Right.
And then start coming up
with some new shit.
So that's the reason for more?
Yeah, I'm definitely
going to jump into politics, man,
because I'm tired
of the ass kissing.
We got all these
go-along, get-along-ass
politicians, man,
and I don't want
to be a part of that, bro.
Right.
Like, I'm going to be
totally opposite.
I'm going to be against
all that shit.
What's in it for the black people? Word. You know all that shit. What's in it for the black people?
Word.
You know what I mean?
What's in it for the brown people?
What's in it for us?
Like, everybody else getting it.
Why don't let me have it now?
Right.
My fucking turn, bro.
Yeah.
I love that.
Yeah.
I think hip-hop should dead seriously take over politics.
We should.
Because most of these people, I think that we're scared that,
you know, we have criminal backgrounds
and criminal records,
but most of these guys
have criminal records.
Didn't this guy just join the party?
Most of these guys are fucking criminals.
Yeah.
Criminals.
Not criminal backgrounds,
God damn it.
Criminals.
Right.
Feel me?
Yeah, they're criminals, man.
Mitch McConnell's a fucking criminal.
But go ahead.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I think,
I really think Killer Mike should be the mayor of
Atlanta. He should. I really think that.
I really think E-40 should be the mayor of
the Bay. We need Luke to keep trying.
Luke should be the mayor of Miami.
That's heavy.
And E-40 being the mayor of
the Bay. Right. Yeah.
I really think so.
The Bay's not seated, right?
That might lead to schools fucked up, man.
Nah, nah, man.
I've got kids walking around.
How about you smell me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, how you doing?
Earl, what's up, Earl?
Yeah, man.
I fucking love you, Earl.
Nah, nah, it'd be cool, though.
Yeah, man, yeah.
It's time for us to...
Like, imagine Jay-Z as president,
Beyonce as president.
Yeah, fucking right.
I know it's something,
but I just like,
that shit'll be dope.
You know what I'm saying?
Jay-Z not into politics at all.
Yeah, he's not,
he's not really.
Man, I was talking to Jay-Z
about doing something.
Another thing is,
I posted a picture of Jay-Z

saying we can't be stopped and snap a photo with his eye hanging out,
and that was it.
So that's not props?
Fuck no, that's not props.
Oh, you knew that?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
I was like, shit, Bill finna die, man.
All right.
And he's a small guy, too,
so you're not thinking he got the same strength as everyone else.
Shit.
Jay had that mentality.
I don't give a fuck if he die or not.
We gonna get this picture.
Photo shoot.
Thanks for that.
God damn it.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
This medal is for the men who went down that day. It's for the families of those who didn't make it. I'm J.R. Martinez. I'm a U.S.
Army veteran myself, and I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of
Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage from Pushkin Industries and iHeart Podcast. From Robert Blake,
the first Black sailor to be awarded the medal, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people
to have received the Medal of Honor twice.
These are stories about people
who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor,
going above and beyond the call of duty.
You'll hear about what they did,
what it meant,
and what their stories tell us
about the nature of courage and sacrifice.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct

We're going to get that picture, man.
Holy shit.
Okay, now let's go into Smile.
Okay.
Very deep, deep record.
Telling people to smile.
But it's still, for some reason, the record still comes across like a dark record.
I guess because of the video.
And when it comes out, the timing of it.
Okay, so let's talk about the Smile record. So I originally did the record at the Death Row studio with Tupac.
Yeah, he's on the record, right?
Yeah.
So it was like, I want to say that it was a record that Tupac had his crew on.
The Outlaws?
Yeah, Outlaws.
And then I think it just turned out to be me and him.
But Pac used to always get pissed off at me because it took so long to write.
Like, I always wrote my shit.
I didn't just go, man.
Because he was just cranking records out.
Oh, Pac would do a fucking record every 15 minutes.
Right.
Yeah, he was serious about it.
But it took a long time.
He'd always get pissed off at me
because I'd still be sitting in the front of the mixing board
when he'd leave and come back.
You know what I mean?
I'm writing my shit.
And he told me one day that,
you know, do what,
he say, write the shit.
Don't worry about it.
You got to get across to the bitches
without offending them.
And the niggas going to like
what the bitches like.
And whatever your last word is
in the verse,
that's the hook.
So think about it.
Smile for me now.
I remember me going to the studio
one time and me seeing Irv Gotti
playing Smile for Prodigy
and saying, this is the balance that you need.
You need some...
Yeah, I remember that.
Because you remember
P was making so much serious records
and he didn't have a,
in my opinion, that's what I thought Irv was
trying to tell him, but I thought it was
genius that he played Smile for him.
You know what I'm saying? He's playing, you know,
Y'all record, and it was just,
it's amazing, but when I go through your
discography and I'm listening for two
days, it really felt like
Every time you wrote music
You was in a dark place
Is that accurate or
Man you know Nori
I don't know man
I just write music bro
Right
And I go
I go where the beat lead
And where the spirit lead
Right
And that's just me
Right
I just
I just
It's almost like
I don't even write it
It's just And it just, I just, you know, it's almost like I don't even write it.
It's just a, and it just go.
It automated?
Everything that's in my head just comes out on that piece of paper right there, you know.
And if it's dark, then maybe it was dark. But, you know, I think that if I gave those lyrics to somebody else and they put it on another beat, then it probably wouldn't be as dark.
It's all in the setting that you set.
It's all about the delivery and the mood, man.
I've always been one that was conscious
of how I sounded when I came on
or when I finished it
or, you know, the come lines.
I wanted to make sure that everything was strong
and the voice that I used in that particular song
matched those beats, those
horns, those piano riffs, that bass line.
I wanted my voice to be like a, let's call it like another instrument.
You feel me?
That's fire.
Yeah.
You're really a musician.
In real life.
Yeah, in real life.
In real life.
Like I was born to musicians.
Right.
My whole family, musicians.
All of them.
Everybody.
And you knew how to play the guitar.
I didn't play all that shit.
You learned that shit, or?
I mean, it was just giving.
It was like a God-given right, bro.
You play the piano?
Get the fuck out of here.
What school you went to?
Juilliard?
I went to fucking Willard Ridge, man.

You know what I'm saying?
As we look at him as a top, you know, dog in the game,

Do I get the respect that I deserve?
Slim had a, he got a mean question there.

Okay, okay, okay.
I mean, it's kind of like,

You have to feel respected from your peers, from other players in the game.
You got to know how much people really respect you.
Oh, man, it's all love, you know?

And I never really looked at it as getting respect or none of that shit

It's like fucking, it's like the devil walked in the room

Right.
Now I want some DMX shit.
No, not that.

Yeah, because my,
I mean, what's on my mind, especially if, if, if I guess, uh, like if it's up in the air, like who the nigga is when I get on this motherfucking record with you.

especially what you done did for H-Timeown Texas Hip-Hop, man.
I got a question for you, man.
Hey, of all the Houston rappers that ever came out of Houston,
or let's just say Texas in general,
who is your favorite Texas rapper of all time?
Your favorite Texas MC could be somebody old school back in the day,
could be somebody new that's just now coming out.
I can see your face right now.
You don't want to.
Texas MC of all time, man.
Big salute, baby.
Yes, son.
You know what?
When you asked me who's my favorite rapper to come out of Houston,
man, it's got to be all of the ones that came behind me, man, from, yeah, man, fucking right, from Zero to.
Zouji K came after you as well, right?
Yeah, but UGK from Port Arthur.
Okay, all right.
So it's a difference.
Okay, yeah, that's nice.
But you got Devin, you got the RR Squad, you got K Reno.
Devin, we need you on the trick test.
We came around at the same time.
You had Romeo Poet, Willie D Slim,
you had Paul Wong,
you got D-Lo.
Who am I missing, man?
Like, it's a lot
of dope-ass rappers.
You just want one, though.
Come on, let's just get one.
Kyle.
You got a rapper
named Killer Calhoun
that's a bad motherfucker.
Killer Calhoun?
Yeah. You got A-Leaf 360, Neighborhood Kills. got a rapper named Killer Calhoun that's a bad motherfucker Killer Calhoun yeah you got
A-Leaf 360
Neighborhood Kills
it's a lot of them
it's too many
it's too many
like they got
you know
the UBK movement
they got some
real spitters
on they shit
so it's just
you know
it's like
we lit a fire
and then they never
got a chance to put it out.
So it's just it's just ongoing.
Let's see that next one.
What's up?
EFN.
What's up, Nori?
Question for Scarface.
Well, first of all, let me be clear.
Scarface is one of the absolute greatest who's ever lived.
I've told him this and I'll tell the world this.
Growing up in the dc
area ghetto boys and scarface were so iconic like we were not late to the party in this area when it
comes to scarface um we've been down forever um and i'm sure face will tell you he always did real
well in dc my question is though where do you rank the fix among your bodies of work that was
was it different?
How different was the process for you being at Def Jam?
Did it make it a different process for you?
Because I absolutely love that album.
I think it's nearly perfect.
And I'm just curious to how Face thinks of the fix.
But seriously, Face, you are one of the greatest ever.
By the way, if you all haven't checked out his autobiography,
his book is incredible.
Your voice and writing is good.
Yo, with a guitar, he's nasty.
He's just one of the all-time greats.
Love, Face.
Let's make some noise for that guy, David.
Now, now, now.
The Fix is one of my favorite albums in your catalog.
I got it up there as one.
So I'm curious of where you at.
I have
never even judged it
like that.
I don't know, bro.
Really? It's like I was
making music. So you don't
have a favorite album?
That was like the time and that's
what was going on in my life
at that time. You know what I'm what was going on in my life at that time
Mm-hmm, you know I'm saying like I will say this about the pigs like I had a lot of fucking help, bro
So the process this is you at Def Jam and you are the president as well
You say you had a lot of help what you mean like I had I had
Every fucking producer that you can name.
Right.
Phone number in my Rolodex, you know?
Yeah, but I wouldn't call that help.
I would call that making the album.
Yeah, nah, but you know,
like the previous albums before that,
I was responsible for making the beats.
You know?
Yeah, this is the reason why
I wanted to do Dreamcast,
because you fucking Scarface,
they're going to give you the best beats that they fucking make.
I don't know who the fuck those people are.
I had no idea who those people were.
You know what I mean?
I had no idea how to contact them people.
But it was like that.
Because I imagine me being the producer, me walking in the building,
they saying, who's this guy?
They say, Scarface, I go straight to the best bunch of beats.
Yeah, no, it wasn't like that.
That's me as a producer.
That's what I would be doing. I've always worked with Joe, Tone, Beto, Mike,
and I was 95%, 96% responsible for the shit that came out.
Who was these producers you worked with on the fix?
Kanye's on there. Kanye you worked with on the fix? Uh, fuck, uh, Kanye's on there?
Kanye,
I worked with,
uh,
uh,
Nazis?
Nazis,
yeah.
Who,
uh,
let's,
I'm fucking,
Kanye,
Nazis,
uh,
uh,
Pharrell,
uh,
who else,
y'all?
Anybody remember?
Come on,
ass.
Uh, China Black.
Wow.
Mainly it was Kanye, though.
Right.
No, no, not Mike Dean.
Mike Dean didn't do nothing on that album.
Thanks a lot, Hal.
Tony Bazzaro.
Nassim Mahmoud?
Nassim, yeah.
Wow.
Who else?
Mike didn't do nothing but mix that album.
He didn't touch nothing.
He didn't produce nothing.
China Black.
China Black, yeah.
Keep going.
T-Mix.
T-Mix, yeah.
T-Mix and Kanye.
Yeah, T-Mix got some big records on there.
So, no fade?
Never heard of him.
What's his name?
L-O-F-E-Y?
Oh,
Lofi,
yeah.
I don't know what Lofi did,
but yeah.
No,
maybe.
I can't remember.
It's Tony Pizarro.
So,
the reason why The Fix
is one of my
favorites,
and it might be political,
it was like,
you came to Def Jam you were the president
of the
you were on Def Jam
at the time
I was on Def Jam
I worked the record
because I was a Def Jam
rep out here
it was just like
you actually
without telling us
you showed us again
that an album
means something
because at the time
everybody
am I trying to make singles
as the era is still like a full is still, it's all about singles
The fix was
From the beginning to the ending
Down to the packaging
I wouldn't have it no other way
I wouldn't
I am
I'm serious as fuck about it
Okay
Like the way you see it
The way you hear it You know, when you hear it The way you hear it
You know when you hear it
The shit that's leading up to you
Hearing it
Like I'm gonna
I'm gonna fucking set you in the fucking chair bro
And you're gonna watch the show
You feel me
Like you're gonna watch this fucking show
Oh god
What is
Oh
Oh
Oh
And then you're gonna hear it
Like I'm gonna have you so ready to hear this shit.
It was great about us.
It was on a Def Jam, Def Jam.
It was the Leo Combs, Kevin Lyles, Julie Greenwald, Mike Kaiser, Randy Acker, Rob Love, Sam Cresco.
Tina Davis.
Tina Davis.
How the fuck am I going to get?
So sorry, Tina.
She's over there at Empire doing her thing right now, too.
But you had the real stuff.
Was that like the first time you felt like a major was behind you?
Or you felt like that prior?
Because I felt the major was behind you that time.
Man, I've been with Rap-A-Lot all my life, bro.
So that was always mine.
Rap-A-Lot is independent.
Yes an independent
But
You know
Jay
Made us believe
That any fucking thing
Was possible
Right
You know what I'm saying
So if I could go
If I could go
Platinum
You know
On an independent
Right
Then shit
If a major
Could take me
Triple platinum
Right
Quadruple platinum
Then we doing something You feel me But If a major can take me triple platinum, quadruple platinum, then we doing something.
You feel me?
But if a major can keep me where I am, then I'm just where I am.
I ain't moving around.
You feel me?
Right.
So, I just felt like I had a lot of help, man.
Okay.
And I had a lot of people that knew shit
about the music industry that was around me.
I had a lot of experienced people around me,
but thinking about and looking back on everything
that I learned and I saw at Def Jam,
I already knew from the little independent label that I learned and I saw at Def Jam, I already knew from the little independent label
that I came from.
You know, we worked a lot harder.
You know, we worked hard as fuck
to get that label to where it is.
But, I mean, it was about the same.
You know what I mean?
That was crazy, right?
But was that supposed to be the first record
to set off to Def Jam South?
Nah, Ludacris was the first.
Was it?
Yeah, Ludacris was my part.
So when you came in, you brought in Ludacris, right?
I did.
No, when I came in, I wasn't...
You know, it's a funny thing, too.
Like, all of the down south artists that shine like fuck,
from Rick Ross to T.I.
to David Banner to
Lil Flip to all of those kids.
Like I, Paul Wallman, Chameleon Air,
I tried to bring them to Def Jam
South, bro. Wild.
Whole life. Wow.
But what was
Def Jam South exactly? Like what was it?
Because at some point it didn't seem like
it just folded into Def Jam.
Yeah, I left.
I left.
Was it a real thing or was it just a name change?
Yeah, it was pretty dope.
And it was Kevin Oswalt, right?
No, it was Todd Moskowitz.
Todd Moskowitz, okay.
It was Todd and Lior that put it together.
And then Kevin, you know, we worked together.
Right.
And then Khaled later on took it over, right? I was way going by then. Yeah, later, we worked together. Right. And then Khaled later on took it over, right?
I was way going by then.
Yeah, later, later, right.
Yeah.
But it was always big, man.
I had my own staff in Atlanta.
Oh, so you had headquarters in Atlanta?
Yeah, I had everything.
It was cool.
And then I couldn't get Haystack signed, bro.
Like, couldn't get Tripp signed,
but Haystack was a big old white boy
out of Tennessee, man,
that really fit the Def Jam South description, man,
and he was dope, you know.
I couldn't get that signed.
I couldn't get Tripp out of Florida signed.
You got an artist out here
by the name of Triple J
calling fresh dope.
Motherfuckerers Fucking awesome
Wow
Yeah Google that shit
Put that shit on your
On your
On your
On your months here
His name is

One of your brightest records
But still
The subject matter You chose that for your single Right It's probably I would say one of your brightest records, but still

But yeah
Go ahead
Nah man
So wait a minute
So you make my block.
Def Jam comes to you and says
this is the single, this is the one.
I think that might have been Kevin Liles, bro.
I think everybody, you know, Def Jam, we had
this thing, man, called Everybody
Had to Be in the Boat. Okay.
So, I think that everybody got in that boat.
And they picked that one.
But, hold on. So, I
need to understand how this meeting happens
You're not feeling this?
I mean, shit, I'm a ride with them
These are majors
No, but what I'm saying is
Because this hurt me
I love that single
I would have thought you single-handedly made that for us
You know what?
I'm not a radio single dude
You feel me?
Like, I'm a street single
I love the fucking streets, man.
It's true.
It's like saying you don't hit doubles,
but you on the Yankees now.
Now you on the Yankees.
That's not your forte, hitting doubles,
but you know you can hit a double with this one.
You didn't feel like that at all?
Damn, Face, you hurt my feelings.
Yo, for real?
For real?
Damn.
Man, I love the fucking streets, man.

coming up in the south out in houston
what can you tell these people that's trying to come up from the south out in houston dallas all surrounding areas what does it take man
that's a good ass question you know why all this you learned being in the streets going
from the streets you know what makes that question so fucking dope and so fucking dope. It's so fucking real. And of course, we wonder why our artists
don't make it past a certain point on the map.
Meaning local artists?
Right.
Okay.
And I always thought that we kept it,
we kept it too local.
You know, we rapped to impress our city.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, man.
I'm going to give you
some elbows.
I'm going to pull up
at motherfucking Papa Do's
and I'm going to...
Papa Do's is one of my
favorite restaurants, man.
Sifu Yala.
Let's go.
But if you ain't got
a person as well versed
like you,
you know,
and they from somewhere
that ain't got no Papa Do's,
they don't know what the fuck a pop of those is.
Exactly.
If I tell a motherfucker that, yeah, I pull up a Timmy Chance and they like, what the fuck is Timmy Chance?
Right.
But that's a huge.
That was the first one drinking scissor too, right?
Oh, I don't fuck around.
I fuck up and down.
I don't fuck around.
Okay, continue.
Pop of those.
I don't fuck around.
Never fucked around with scissor?
I mean, every now and then, you know, back then in the Gap,
I had a sip or two, but it's just not my type of hype.
Ain't my type of hype, baby.
The last thing I want to do is be moving slow.
Right.
You know?
Right. You know. Wow.
I'm sure that the first record that came out about Cirque came from out of Houston.
But I just think that we got to go a little bit deeper
on our subject matter.
And that's how we'll get to that next level.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay.
Like, we can't rap for our homeboys no more.
So that's what you answer a corrupt question.
That's the answer to a corrupt question. You know, I think that everybody, we should rap not only for our homeboys,
but we should rap for our homeboys in Miami and my homeboys in Cleveland,
my homeboys in D.C.,
my homeboys in Chicago,
homeboys in South Central.
You made the war report.
We didn't.
Our slang was just Queens.
Our slang was just left rack Queensbridge.
Yeah, but motherfuckers in New York
picked up on that shit.
The Harlem picked up on it.
Yeah, but I didn't think Houston would appreciate it.
Bronx picked up on it.
Let's go to another one.
Let's go to Big Homie Ice-T.
Oh, that shit, that's my OG right there.
Hey, what up, brother mob? It's Iceberg, man.
You know, your motherfucking nigga, man.
Represent, man. I just want to let you
know, man, how much we love you,
how real you are, how much I
am inspired by you,
how your
lyrics are some of
the few that make sense and mean something.
You know? And we
talked before when you dropped
Deeply Rooted. I'm like, man,
the only way I might get back in the studio and do
an album is if you produce
the whole goddamn album.
I think that would be dope.
I'm building
a studio in New Jersey right now.
So let's get it, man.
Stop playing.
Nori called me today.
Said, Ice, man, let's give Scarface some love.
I'm like, that's not a problem.
I'm in the car right now.
You know, waiting on wife.
You come from a run.
Look, I got Chanel in back.
Say hi, Chanel.
Then he say hi.
I'm on my dad bullshit today.
But love is love, man. From one G to another G man
Scarface man love you to death man
And who knows man
Maybe an Ice-T Scarface project
Produced
Produced by Scarface you know
Of course you gotta drop some bars
That might be the way to go
You know
That might be the way to go, you know?
Goddamn! That might be the dopest shit ever.
That's a goddamn lie!
Are we breaking grounds?
That first off, I don't remember hearing you.
I got a record together, right?
I don't think so.
Damn!
I don't remember.
Just, I'm going to be honest. When he said that, because, you know, I just called everyone ten times. I don't even care what the don't remember just I'm going to be honest
when he said that
because you know
I just called everyone
10 times
I don't even care
I have no pride
I have no pride
just so you know
so I called everyone
10 times
like yo make sure they do it
and when he said that
I literally chills
went throughout my body
and literally watching it again
knowing it was about to come on
still equally
chills still came through my body
did you ever know that?
Man, um...
Like, you know, my...
When I first met Ice-T, man,
Ice-T took me up to the hills to this house, bro.
You see that open up? Okay.
And I was fucked up.
You know, I was like, wow, bro. Did you see that open up? Okay. And I was fucked up. You know,
I was like, wow, man.
Like, people really do
live like this.
And
my dream,
that was another one of my,
that was another segment
of my dreams, man,
to,
you know,
he showed me some shit.
And for Ice-T to say that, and like I say, bro, that's my big brother, man. That's the OG, bro. And for him to, you know, want
me to do his project, like, I'll fuck Ice-T's album up. Because I'm a fan. You know what
I'm saying? It's easy to work with people
that you're a fan of
because you know the direction
that you would want to hear them go
from there.
So if I ever sat down
at the new studio
that Ice-T's building in New Jersey
and I did his record,
I'd fuck it up.
Bad.
In a great way.
It'd probably be the best record
that Ice-T's ever made.
I believe so.
I'm not going to fucking do that.
That's such a big fucking fan of Ice-T, bro.
I don't know why he looking like
Tiger Woods in there.
Who was that?
It's a Ja Rule.
Oh, Lord.
Because everyone knows you're a golfer,
so the people wanted to put you on a golf shoot.
Yeah, like,
Ja Rule don't want to play me in no golf.
I just want to send a lot of love
to my brother Scarface,
man.
One of the most influential
rappers in
history of hip-hop.
Definitely in the South.
Definitely trendsetter in the South
and in the hip-hop
period. Musical genius.
Played several instruments.
I just want to sit in your flowers, King. Love you,
Face. You know how we do, my brother.
And I'm going to get your ass out of the greens
real soon. I knew he was going to say that.
He's looking like Tiger Woods.
Like, I'll kill Ja Rule, bro.
And that's my partner, too, man.
You serious about God?
I want to fucking smash him, bro.
You serious about God?
No shit.
All right, all right.
First of all, did he have a question?
No, I don't have one.

Who the Drake? Who the Drake? Salute, face, smile, chop when i heard that i broke his dream in history spanning decades of races whether we talk about ghetto boys whether we talking about
classic records with pock hove you know i'm saying as a kid growing up
scarface was always the one you listen to when you want to hear that real.
You know what I'm saying?
Man, it's an honor for me to even be sending this message out to you.
We salute you.
We celebrate you.
Facemob forever.
Salute.
I want to give a big, big blessing to my brother, my friend, and the best of the Icon, Scarface.
Scarface, Facemob, you already know how we do it.
We family.
You know what I mean?
I just want to thank you for everything you've done for us.
No, thank you, homeboy.
And you've been doing for us and everything you're doing for us now.
We love you.
We appreciate you.
You top five, straight up.
You're one of the greatest that ever did it,
lyrically, not even just that.
You special, and you my brother.
And I'm honored and I'm proud and I'm excited
I can call you my friend.
Face Mom, DJ Khaled
Love you
You know that
It's on everything I love
What's the noise for that
So Khaled
Like I said
I love that I'm choking you up
A little bit
I'm loving this
Just so you know
That's why I don't
Fuck with you no more
Cause you deserve
Every flower You deserve every flower.
You deserve every, like, and I, for, for, for all time, I've always knew you.
You've probably been the most humblest person ever.
Yeah, man, you're fucking me up.
Yeah, but, but I just want you to know, like, even though you're humble, even though you're a great guy, this is the reason you deserve these flowers.
You really mean the world.
Like, I see people, how they talk about you when you the world. Like, I see people how they talk about you
when you're not around.
I see people how they talk about you
when you're around.
I see people just praise.
And this is the first time I thought of this.
I said, you know what?
I was like, you know what?
Let's just hit a couple of the people
and just get some videos
so you can really know
because we made the phrase famous on this show,
giving people their flowers.
But I wanted to literally give you flowers.
Yeah, but you probably gave me cake, too.
I gave you cake because it's your birthday, too, now.
That's your birthday now, too.
But these videos meant so much because, you know, for the most part,
I didn't have to twist anyone's arm.
I didn't have to twist anyone's arm.
Even though I said earlier that I made like 10 calls, I was
really just bluffing because really
from the first time I called, motherfuckers
just send over video, send over video.
And I just want you to know how much you really, really,
really, really loved in this motherfucker.
Because today, you're going to leave here
knowing that how much you mean to
motherfucking hip hop.
I'm actually
pretty fucking mean, but yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Hold on, I got, hold on, I got.
You got something to say?
He saved it.
You got another one?
Okay, let's go.
I was going to save that one.
Okay, yeah.
Ah, that's a good one.
Okay.
This is good.
Turn it up, he's talking low.
Oh, yeah.
Jake Prince coming at you live and in living color.
What's up, Pace?
Man, I'm hearing that you on drink champs and I wanted to
stop by
because I believe I'd have tapped into
the fountain of you
with this loyalty.
As they have said,
you have represented the name
of the place.
Even in the name of all your kids even in the midst
of
the feds putting a full
court pressure on you
to lie on me
to try and convict me
Scarface stood strong
like a man
I salute you for that
my brother
now there are some things that I want you to know about this big word called hip-hop.
Hip-hop love you.
And I would start with the East Coast.
You was DMX's favorite artist on the East Coast.
Now I'm going to travel to the West Coast. You was Tupac's favorite artist on the East Coast. Now I'm going to travel to the West Coast.
You was Tupac's favorite artist on the West Coast.
Now I'm going to go down South.
You was my favorite artist.
Oh, fuck.
And with that being said,
we want you to know that we love and respect you.
And I also want you to know
that we could
around the world
love and respect Scarface
because they understand
that Scarface laid the foundation
that all
of hardcore hip-hop
stand on today.
Salute you, my brother.
Now, some of these
I couldn't look at
because I wanted this reaction.
I wanted me to be
just as surprised as you.
Yeah.
So, yeah, like,
I, um,
yeah, the next one's
gonna fuck you up here.
It's hot, it's hot,
so you can't see it.
So, nigga, so, so,
keep going, keep going.
When, when, when, when, when Jay Uh-huh Jay say, yeah, nigga, you was my favorite artist,
like, that means something.
Because he don't like nobody.
That nigga don't like everybody.
He said so, yeah.
Wow, man, wow, man.
Yeah, that means something.
When your brother love you, that's a good shit.
Hell yeah, hell yeah.
All right, what's the boy at? Let's get one more, that's a good shit. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
I wasn't a boy.
Let's get one more, let's get one more go.
Wait, let me get my boy in here.
Okay, yeah, get that Macallan.
What?
It finished it?
Fuck up all my shit, nigga.
Y'all met my son?
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
Gabby, we got another one to play for you.
Oh, shit.
Don't play that one.
Hold on. Don't play that.
Big Daddy Kane.
Don't play that one.
We got to play them all.
We got to play them all.
Come on.
Before you play Kane.
You got a story?
Fucking right.
Let's go.
I love how you broke that.
So,
Kane is by far
like
probably the most influential
outside Ice Cube and Chuck.
Wow.
Like, I'm a fucking hybrid.
Right.
Between Ice Cube,
Chuck D,
and Big Daddy King.
I can see that.
Yeah, no, you can hear that.
Yeah, I can see that.
Yeah.
Okay.
I wanted to have that fucking...
Flat top?
Not the flat top.
What is that?
Damn.
Like, Big Daddy Kane
was skillful, man.
And he had a delivery
and I wanted that.
Who flat top rules in 89?
I'll fuck Kane up
with the flat top.
I'm not even worried
about the flat top.
Okay.
So he had that delivery, man.
And he had lyrical skill, bro.
And he fucked Madonna.
Allegedly. I don't think he fucked her, bro. And he fucked Madonna. Allegedly.
I don't think he fucked her, bro.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
He said he did.
I forgot.
He might have laid in the bed with her.
Finger pop or something.
With his pants on.
He pulled another like me.
He took a shower with his pants on.
Give us a pants on.
Give us a pants on.
So Kane had the delivery, bro.
And he had the lyrical fucking professionalism
that was unmatched, in my opinion.
I like Chuck D.
Because Chuck D. had a mean-ass fucking voice.
Right.
You know?
And then Cube told a mean-ass story.
I wanted to lyrically have a mean ass voice
and tell a mean ass story.
Lyrically, Kane.
You know, with a mean ass
voice, Chuck and Q tell a mean
ass story. So I'm a hybrid
between those three MCs
if I say so myself.
Let's see what Kane had to say.
Yo, Face, what's good, man?
It's your boy, the B-I-G-D-A-D-D-Y-K-A-N-E.
Just here to spread some love
and thank you for always being a real dude
and a real lyricist
because you made something from nothing
and vowed to never tear it apart
and turned the street hustle into an art.
I ain't gonna mess up your lyrics.
That's from your song, Keep Me Down,
and you never let them keep you down.
Stay winning.
Respect.
I love Kane. Kane did
one of my high school reunions, man.
Really?
On everything I love, bro.
He did one of my high school reunions.
Class of 90.
And you went to the reunion?
I performed too.
And one of those rare occasions,
Kane opened up for me.
Really?
Shit, that was dope.
Really?
God.
So since he recited one of my shits,
I got to recite one of his now.
Kane said,
my rhymes are so dope
and the rappers be hoping
to sound like me so soon
I'll have to open a school of MCs for those who want to be here.
If I feel the core, but then again, second thought, to have those MCs come in and our sound is so similar.
It's quite confusing.
It'll be quite confusing for y'all to remember the originator.
Man, K was a bad motherfucker to me, bro.
Let it roll.
Don't clap yet. Let it roll. Call me, man.
Don't clap yet.
Let it roll.
Get bold.
I just can't hold back the focus.
I'm the man with soul.
Put the groove in the feck and what the heck.
Rock disco texture.
This groove is for stick.
I love how humble you are.
We keep trying to give you flowers.
You keep trying to give other people flowers.
We're going to stop you from now on.
It's about you today. Molly Marl and Dr. Dre is probably the influence on my production, though.
Yeah, for real.
That's great people to be influenced by.
Thanks, bro.
That's great people to be influenced by.
Let's hit another person.
Let's look at that.
Big boy.
Face.
What up, man?
It's your partner, Big Boy.
Big Boy's Neighborhood.
Let me tell you, bro.
For one, this is crazy that they hit me up to do a video for you, man.
And the reason why I say it's crazy, Face, is because I'm a fan.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm a fan.
There's people that are like peers and things of that nature.
And I know you don't really trip off of being the best or telling people how great you are or things like that.
And I don't even think you understand how amazing you are to us.
You know what I'm saying?
So when they hit me up to do this video, first off, I was like, man, they drink champs.
Are they drunk? No, but no, just being able to say this to you is I'm humbled and I'm honored.
And I've had so many years of listening to Scarface,
bro. Wow. And a lot of ups and, you know, some down moments, bro. And you have really gotten
me through a lot, bro. And I've introduced so many people to Scarface, man, even when it wasn't
the so-called, you know, popular thing to do, you know, but nah,
I've been rocking with you for years, man, and, you know, we always talk about, oh, man,
we got to give people their flowers, we got to give them their flowers, bro, I'm telling you,
man, I don't know if we get you, it's not a vase or a vase of flowers, man, I think, hell,
we got to get you like an extreme flower garden
You've done so much for us man. You've given us so much joy, bro, and I really love you homie
And I'm just honored to be here, bro
I remember fast times selling dope was my pastime life in the fast lane. I'll come cash. I sit back and wonder

You know, and I love you for that, man.
I remember when I was first doing my first album, The Truth, and they asked me, you know, who I want, you know, as features on an album.
And I was like Scarface.
And they asked me, like, who else did I want on an album?
And I was like Scarface, because I didn't want to do no features on my first album.
I wanted to be
just me but on my bucket list if you know I had to do features I was like man if I couldn't get
nobody I'm on Scarface man and I love you for that and I thank you for that and from there
we did so many records together man I love you face you, Face. Big bro for life, man.

So I'm going to tell you right now, every time they ask me for my top five, I can guarantee you on Drink Champs, you're on my top five.
No shit.
And in 2015, I did an album that I always wanted to work on.
And I had this record that Premiere produced for me.
And you were the first person that I wanted on the record and you got on the record.
I got on it?
Yeah. I'm gonna show you the record. I'm gonna show you the first.
I did?
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Oh, your son got on the record.
Yeah.
Oh, maybe it was him.
But I had these vocals from Guru that he did for a mixtape for me and that's why
that record's special to me because it's the closest thing I was ever gonna get to
a Gangstar record. Having Premiere produce it and cut up vocals that Guru did for me on
the hook.
What the fuck is this?
I don't know.
What is it?
I don't know. He said it's a hard ass record.
Right there.
Crazy for production.
You're the first verse on it.
Going it down. Say it like that. Who's crazy? DJ EFA. Crazy for production. I never heard this
Look at his face
Look at his face wake up how much of our time will it take us it's like the 60s all over

I'm revealing that's the reason that they fucking with me.
Wise up to the plot.
They targeting the youth and just about to wipe our ass out.
DJ EFA.

Wait, wait, what did you say?
It's not that impressive.
You're not a fan of yourself? Wait, wait, what did you say? That impression was all right.
Wait, you're not a fan of yourself?
Man, I'm so much better than... Are you in your own top five?
Fuck no, man.
See, that's the problem.
That's the problem.
Damn, Face, you gotta have a talk.
I mean, you know what?
You know what?
You know what, bro?
You want to laugh right quick?
Yeah, yeah.
Nigga, you know what I think about
when I think about my career? Nigga, you know what I think about when I think about my career?
Nigga, you got away with one.
You got over on folks?
Nigga, I got away with one.
Okay, I feel like that too.
But you're not supposed to think like that.
I got away.

Yo, come on, man.
Stop, stop. Stop, man. Stop. Stop.

Scarface, Mr. Scarface,
Ghetto Boys.

And the only reason
why I brung them up is
there's not a lot of people
who have records with them both.
There's not a lot of,
there's not a handful of people
who can say
I met Tupac, Tupac respected
me and was his favorite artist.
Jay Princess said

Let me give you a line.
Uh-huh.
Motherfucker,
Pac says,

Thank you.
Who you said?

Prince?
Yeah.
We went with Prince.
Okay.
I need to ask.
Okay.
This is the last one.
Both.
You need to relax.
I don't even give a fuck what the question is.
Both.
All right. Y'all just got to got to ask it though Kanye or Pharrell
Both
You got to say both
Man
That nigga Kanye
Was a fool
Man
Even during the Trump era
He still is
You still fuck with him
Even during Trump
I don't give a fuck
About none of that
Man I talked to Kanye
When he was Making America great I talked't give a fuck about none of that. Man, I talked to Kanye when he was...
Making America great?
I talked to him...
Take the politics out of him.
He's a genius musically.
I talked to him
when he was supposedly
off his rocker
or whatever, man.
And there wasn't
nothing wrong with Kanye, man.
No.
Right.
I think Kanye
is just
expressing himself
in a different way than everybody else would want him to.
You know what I mean?
He's the richest black man in American history right now.
Hey, shit, I ain't mad at him.
You're supposed to be a little crazy, right?
That's crazy.
I ain't going to lie.
Man, let me tell you something.
That would drive anybody crazy.
They say too much of anything will kill you.
Well, if I give me three or four billion dollars, I'm going to kill you. Uh-huh. Well, if I get me three or four billion dollars, I'm going to die.
I knew you was going to do that.
Oh, shit. Man, I'm going to do all the shit that I couldn't do
when I didn't have no motherfucking money.
All right.
All right, so wait, is it both or is it one?
I'm going to have to go with Kanye.
And I love Pharrell to death
because he's fucking incredibly dope.
I ain't want another shot.
But in your lyrics, right, you say,
you know, obviously I was going through your lyrics.
Don't say it wrong.
I won't say it.
I wrote it wrong.
But you said, David Duke's got a shotgun.
So why you mad?
Because I got one. Why you you mad? Because I got one.
Why you get upset? Because I got one.
A lot of people at that time, now I understand the analogy when you spoke about
you being Chuck D
influence. Back then,
when I heard David Duke, I didn't know who David Duke
was. He was a Klansman?
Fucking right. Yeah.
When I heard you say that,
I had to literally go out there and do research
Like David Duke just don't come up in black
You know school
Or like you know when we was out
Now I think I know this answer
Because I think you touched on it earlier
When you said that if you put Chuck D
I think you said Big Daddy Kane and I forget who else
Ice Cube
Together
What made you want to touch on that
You named the leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
I had to go.
It wasn't Google back then, but whatever it was equivalent to Google,
I had to do that because I wanted to know what you meant by saying
David Duke got a shotgun.
Why the fuck you get mad because I got one?
David Duke.
Which is crazy.
I never thought we'd be talking about the fucking head of the fucking Ku Klux Klan on fucking drink shits.
But he tried to go mainstream, too.
But I had to give you something.
Uh-huh.
What'd you say?
I had to give you something.
I had to give the people something, bro.
Mm-hmm.
Like, we can talk about how great we can rap or how bad my car is or how bad my fucking diamond is.
But if I ain't giving you one to grow on, bro,
then I'm just saying words.
And anybody can put words together.
But imagine if somebody put words together
that can make you think about,
who the fuck is David Duke?
Wow.
And then you...
Oh, shit, the Grand Rack.
Well, I was one of them.
Ku Klux Klan.
Oh, yeah.
And didn't he run for, like...
Yeah, he was...
That's what I'm trying to say.
He tried to go mainstream.
He tried to...
And I think he was the governor of Louisiana, bro.
Yeah.
And you know what's crazy?
He tried to pretend like he wasn't even with the Klan,
but...
This is what I'm trying to tell you.
Your lyrics, then, still maxes up now.
Do you know he was the first person
to come out and support Trump?
I'm sure.
I mean, that's...
Yeah.
Like, that shit was like...
Both of them motherfuckers are Klansmen, bro.
They're fucking Klansmen. Trump. They're fucking Klansmen.
Trump's father was a Klansman.
Fucking right.
You better fucking know it.
Really?
What?
I'm thinking you're just saying this.
No, no, no.
I think, I mean, I can't tell you.
His dad was a Klansman.
Fred Trump, with his fucking, with his Benny Hill looking ass was a Klansman, bro.
Did you say Benny Hill?
Benny Hill.
Damn, it makes a noise when you know I'm about Benny Hill. Benny Hill is ass was a Klansman, bro. Did you say Benny Hill? Benny Hill. Damn, it makes a noise when you know him
about Benny Hill.
Goddamn it.
Benny Hill is soft porn. Let's just be clear. That was soft porn. Benny Hill would not get away with it today.
Look.
Oh, that nigga ain't even know
zip on his motherfucker goddamn.
See?
So, yeah, fuck him.
And everybody think, like,
Trump is supposed to be some smart,
super genius motherfucker.
He's a clown.
Yeah.
Hey, man, that man about as smart
as a soft dick.
And just as useless.
I never heard that one.
Motherfucker dick, my soft dick ain't got no sense.
He just flopping around, bro.
Bars.
Bars.
Bars.
And listen, bro.
And to some people, man, he's the best fucking thing that's ever lived on this, ever walked the face of the earth.
But we can't say one thing.
Whippy looking ass.
Whippy from Popeye looking ass.
Let me just be clear.
I'm not a fan of Trump at all.
But one thing I can say is, during the Trump era, there hasn't been a lot of broke people I've been running into.
Everybody got money now.
I don't know.
You got broke friends?
Huh?
You got broke friends?
I don't have no broke friends no more.
I've been looking for them.
They don't exist.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Trump ain't did me no fucking favors.
No, he ain't do me no favor neither.
I'm just saying,
you say you cut your taxes and shit.
I mean, that's cool.
And then, you know what?
I have some conservative values, bro.
I don't think it's my responsibility to take care of nobody else that I'm not down with taking care of.
But I will put my money in infrastructure.
You know, I do want my fuck.
You know, if I do buy some tires, you know, some rims with some big tires on my shit or whatever,
I do want my streets to be fixed so I don't have to keep buying.
Your bristle will go.
I don't want my fucking structure to fall down.
You know what I mean?
I'm down with the infrastructure part.
I'm down with seeing blacks and browns get money.
I want to see them get some fucking money, bro.
I want to take black get some fucking money, bro. You know? I want to take all, I want to take, I want to take black
people out of the minority.
Because it's like one big fucking cluster fuck
so when it come time to get contracts
and shit. I get it.
I get it. I got some value.
I got some Republican values, bro.
I don't think it's my responsibility to be paying
for nobody else's insurance and shit.
Like, I got my own fucking problems.
You feel me?
That's where I'm at with it, bro.
I don't want to be paying for nobody else's shit.
I want to take care of my own shit. So less fucking government, in my opinion.
This is a Republican value, right?
I got some conservative values,
but it's smaller government.
If somebody's fucked up,
don't penalize me because
I'm doing all right. There's too much bureaucracy anyways.
Nothing's going to get done anyways. I love how politically
you're getting right now.
No, it's cool.
It's cool to
have a Republican in the office,
but not a Republican
like this beanbag head motherfucker.
He's a government. He wasn't even really a Republican.
He's not really even a fucking president,
but he's just a special man.
Like he was some type of god, man.
Like he's a special man.
He's not special.
No, but values, man.
Those conservative values, bro.
Like, let's government, man.
Let's get it.
I don't need you to regulate my weed
or regulate my alcohol
or regulate some shit that I grow out of my fucking backyard.
Don't tap into my shit.
Tap into your own shit.
A lot of black people put a lot,
a lot, a lot of emphasis on Democrats
when the Democrats was the motherfuckers
that wanted to keep us enslaved.
The original, yeah. And if it was the motherfuckers that wanted to keep us enslaved. The original, yeah.
You know,
and if it was that big a deal,
then why aren't the Democrats
fighting for the rights
of these people
that's not getting it?
You know,
we're not getting
all that we're supposed
to have
and every time
some shit come up,
you know,
that's supposed to favor us,
you ain't saying shit.
Why rapper racism
ain't came up? You a fucking Democrat?
You down?
Then come on.
Let's put the shit on the table.
Let's start talking about it and let's get some
shit done. Let's talk
more action.
You voted for
Biden? I did. Biden?
I did.
Okay.
Because I wanted
this fucking
Alfred Hitchcock
motherfucker
out of the office.
You voted against Trump.
I did.
I voted against him.
Right.
But I also voted
for Obama.
Let me ask you something.
At one point,
Trump was like
rap's goal.
He was cool as fuck.
He was cool.
And then he came out
there and he started
Did you ever have lyrics
that you was big enough Donald Trump?
I did.
I said, nigga, rolling hard, stacking paper like Trump.
Nobody thought he would be a president.
Only what fuck I told you that from the jump.
Yeah, that was the song I had called Money in the Power.
But...
You regret those lyrics or no?
Nah, man.
Trump was getting some money back then in the 90s.
I think I asked Wake Kwan the same thing.
I think he said, check who's the black Trump.
And I don't think he regretted it either.
I think he was like, yeah.
I ain't no black Trump, though.
I ain't.
Fuck him.
Yeah.
But I mean, I don't think he was referencing to who Trump is now.
I think he was referencing who Trump was back then.
Man, there ain't no black Trump. Because think he was referencing who Trump was back then. Man,
there ain't no black Trump.
Trump was never a cool dude.
Like, fuck Trump.
No, he kind of was before.
Yeah, yeah.
Snoop Dogg,
he was saying,
Donald Trump,
I was going to say
Donald Trump ain't Donald Trump.
He comes from his father.
He's his father's child.
Man, that shit,
that boy True Colors
came out, man.
Yeah, it came out, yeah.
Yeah, fuck Donald Trump, bro.
Yeah.
Fuck him and fuck everything that's going to come behind him.
Did one of his people just get indicted?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And they took away Giuliani's...
Yeah, Giuliani can't practice law no more.
What does that mean, though?
Like, what does that exactly mean?
What do you mean?
He can't practice law.
They pulled him.
He's not a lawyer.
What do they catch him doing, though? What do they catch him mean? You can't practice law. They pulled, he's not a lawyer. What do they catch him doing, though?
What do they catch him doing?
You can't go in the courtroom no more.
Yeah, but what do they catch him doing?
And represent nobody.
He was down with that bullshit ass, what did Donald Trump call it, a hoax.
Okay.
That the election was rigged, and he shouldn't have did that.
And then what you were trying to talk about right now is one of his accountants for the Trump organization got indicted.
Yeah, his CFO or some shit.
Chief Financial Officer.
He banged up right now.
Now, you really into this shit.
You really know your politics.
You really know your politics.
Yeah, I'm into politics big time.
So one of the things that Corrupt said is the Mr. Mr. Scarface.
That song.
How did you come up with that?
How did you come up with?
It's the B&T Spider, man.
Damn that shit.
That's what that is?
I was so familiar with it, but I never would have thought.
Oh.
Come here, you disgusting.
Fuck.
Oh, you fucking me up right now.
Holy shit.
No wonder the rhythm was so familiar.
It's a good one.
Good.
It was so familiar.
But I, holy shit.
Damn, Scarface. Damn, you're fucking me up. I did, holy shit. Damn,
Scarface.
Damn,
you fucking me up.
I did not
know that.
You remember
we went out to eat
and you got sick?
I did.
That's why I didn't
want to come on
drink time today.
So you got
fucking sick again.
So I,
I went out with Nori
and we was on,
we was where
these yachts at
and I was eating some fucking crabs, bro.
And we was talking and all of a sudden my fucking throat swole up.
Oh, he told me.
He said, I almost killed some fans.
I said, you killed a legend.
That motherfucker tried to kill me, bro.
Yo, we sit down.
I think that shit was stemming from a long time ago in Vegas, man.
So just so the people know, me and Faces sit down and film my food show.
And Faces start making these weird noises.
He's going, I don't know what the fuck.
The fuck out of here, Norris.
The fuck out of here, bro.
What did you say?
Yeah, so he was there.
I swear to God, the blue faces start making these weird noises.
So I'm thinking my conversation is boring.
So I'm like, oh, okay.
Let me set my game up.
And then you did it again.
You made a noise.
He was like,
he was like, man, something wrong with me.
And I was like, really?
The fuck?
And then you got up
and then Randy,
you said something to Randy
and then the ambulance came
and my heart went to my ass.
Because I said, if anything happened to Face when he's on my set, hip-hop's going to kill me.
On your food show?
You weren't even like you was recording.
My food show is over.
I'm hitting Randy every five minutes.
Is Face all right? Is he all right? Is he all right? It's over Like I'm just like I'm like I'm hitting Randy Every five minutes Is his face alright
Is he alright
Is he alright
Cause I
I never dealt with
Food poisoning

Thought they thought
It was food poisoning
Or
What eventually did happen

No, I don't know.
I think it might have been you, bro.

He was trying to get that kidney right then.
He was like, fuck it, man.
Anybody got a kidney for face, man,
we're going to give them a bag.
Wow.
Yeah.
So let me ask you,
as at one point,
everyone credits you as the king of the South.
Everyone credits you
as the king of the South, right?
Everyone credits you
as the king of the South.
That's in one's opinion.
And then at one point,
T.I. actually started
this whole campaign
of him saying he was the king of the South.
Was there any discrepancies?
Any thoughts of that?
It wasn't a battle.
Everybody should feel like they're the king of something, you know?
Right.
And I always said that, you know, Tip can have that title.
There's too much responsibility in the motherfucking way.
But now that we're older and we're more wiser,
we can both share
that fucking title.
Right.
Yeah.
Because we're kings
like a motherfucker.
Right.
You're definitely
the king of the south
to the majority of people.
I mean, we both are.
But it doesn't take away
from T.I. I don't think it takes away anything from him. No, T.I. I mean, we both are. But it doesn't take away from T.I.
I don't think it takes away anything from him.
No, T.I. is a genius also, man.
He moved into, you know, legend status, man.
He didn't let what happened to him
in his dealing with these punk-ass feds
get him off his game. his, um, dealing with these punk-ass feds, you know,
get him off his,
get him off his game.
You know,
he did his time,
got right back on
his motherfucking game
and did his thing.
So, you know,
big shouts out to him.
So was there anybody
at that time
trying to put y'all
against ours
or something like that?
It's going to be impossible
to put me at odds
with a motherfucker unless we really at odds in the first place because there ain's going to be impossible to put me at odds with a motherfucker unless
we really at odds in the first place because
there ain't going to be no rap no more.
So we ain't never
pushed the envelope, man.
We always been tight. You know, like I
said, I was trying to get T.I. on Def Jam
back
in the gap. I was trying
to get him back on Def Jam
back in the gap. But everybody was like, yeah, man, he was already on Polygram. I was like, get him back on death jam back in the gap.
But everybody was like, yeah, man, he was already on polygram.
I was like, what the fuck difference does that make?
It's a bad little nigga, man.
Y'all better come on.
And nobody want to get in that boat.
You know death jam, remember that boat I was telling you about?
They want that boat.
So, and then Ti goes to Atlantic.
And fucking blows the fuck up.
Right.
But look at me.
Who am I?
Right.
You know?
What's your favorite part of the game?
Is it making the music or performing it?
Take a shot for that?
Let's still take a shot for that.
Let's save both.
That's both?
Nah, I can't say both no more.
I want to save y'all.
Thank you.
Our livers, thank you.
I love making beats, man.
I got a whole studio in my house
that I don't even walk in no more.
I haven't walked in that motherfucker in a year.
Wow.

That's when America gained its independence. We didn't get our independence. We were still slaves, eh?
Back in 1776 and whenever the fuck they called,
yeah, fuck that shit, man.
I'm the most unpatriotic.
Let me tell you why I'm so fucking
unpatriotic, bro.
It's because you don't see
black people, bro.
You don't see us, man.
And we was here.
Mother fuckers fought in your army
and fought in your wars
and stood for your flag
and pledged allegiance to the motherfucker
and you still don't recognize us
as being human beings,
so fuck you.
We don't recognize you now.
Juneteenth, bitch. Fuck. Goddamn.
That's when we gained our independence.
Right.
Juneteenth.
Right.
So.
And when is Juneteenth?
It's June 19th, correct?
Right.
Right, because it always
just feel like June 18th.
I don't know why.
Yeah, we got released
from slavery a little late
in Texas.
Wow.
You know, but.
And wasn't Arizona the same thing, I believe?
Because Texas thought it was his own country.
I don't even think Arizona recognized.
They're loose now.
They're loose now.
They're recognizing John McCain's birthday as a holiday.
That was John McCain.
Yeah.
That was John McCain.
That was John McCain that didn't want that.
A little leprechaun.
Yeah, that guy.
That was him.
A little leprechaun, yeah.
Fonzie.
Yeah.
He looked like Danny DeVito in the Yacht.
Yeah.
But if you can make John McCain and George Bush Sr. look human.
That's what Trump did.
Then you got to be a piece of, you got to be a big piece of shit.
And George Bush is not in there as well?
Because George Bush is from your town.
Yeah, no, George Bush,
I mean, George Bush Sr.,
George Bush Jr.,
I ain't got no problem
with him,
but I'm just saying,
if you can make
George Bush Sr. and Jr.
look normal,
look human,
along with John McCain,
you gotta be
a really big piece of shit.
Right.
And when I saw Trump
at Bush's funeral,
I looked at the president's
previous...
Senior Bush?
Yeah, Senior Bush's funeral.
Senior Bush died?
Been gone.
Yeah, bro.
Come on, man.
Where the fuck have I been at?
Really?
And Trump disrespected
the shit out of McCain.
Told him he's not even
a war hero, right?
Yeah, Trump ain't never
fucking fought no war.
We like people that have been captured.
Yeah.
Disrespect the shit out of them.
What the fuck is you, man?
But listen, Trump did turn politics to a smack DVD.
Let's just be clear.
And that's not good.
That's not good.
I'm not saying it's good, but I'm just saying.
Not good.
I never watched a debate like I watched this.
I had popcorn this time.
I mean, I guess if you want to get people engaged.
I never looked at a debate like entertainment. I looked at a debate like it was to get people engaged. I never looked like debate like entertainment.
I looked at debate like it was a smack DVD.
Hey, man,

That's how you say it?
Habiki.
Habiki.
What, that's a Japanese? enjoy yourself. Habiki. That's how you say it? Habiki? Habiki. I don't think that
people around the world
see the condition
of all black people.
And they're not
saying they're doing a motherfucking thing.
They're not
making it illegal.
Did you notice, I'm sorry to cut you off to a certain
extent but um did you notice that the most racist place you've ever been is america like i've gone
to place like a germany where it's supposed to be racist and they show black people more love
there japan i remember going to japan with eight with April and MJG and I remember just
these people just showed us
tremendously. That was the
first time I felt like a god. And when they
say black people are gods, that's the first time I felt
like a god when I was in Japan.
What kind of things
do you go through when you go overseas and you come back
here and how
does it make you feel?
I'm scared as fuck to go overseas.
Wait a minute, you've never been overseas?
This is amazing.
Like, I'm scared, bro.
You've never been to Europe?
I know.
You've never been to Germany?
Because I don't want nobody fucking with me because I'm black, bro.
No, it's not like that over there.
It's actually the total opposite, yeah.
Because what I'm going to do is they're going to fuck with me, man.
But not Russia.
I'm going to go ape shit.
Okay, Russia don't want to rush out.
Shout out to Russia.
We got to give it a second chance.
We got to give it a second chance.
Listen, man.
Not the time to be in the EFA
with the Russians.
I'm going to get way out of line.
I'm going to go ape shit
and then I'm going to be in that jail, bro.
I'm going to be honest with you, face.
Let me just tell you.
Let me tell you.
I'm going to give you a story
of me being in Berlin, Germany
one year.
The promoters...
That's where the Nazi...
That's where the swastika comes from. That's where the swastika comes from. Yeah, Hitler. Look, so Berlin, Germany one year. The promoters... That's where the swastika comes from.
That's where the swastika comes from.
So I went there one
year. The promoter comes.
He pays me, does everything.
But then the promoter disappears.
So I'm sitting around like, you know,
we're not lost or something, but I just can't
find the promoter. You know what the promoter
did? He went and wrote
graffiti. Capone and Noriega.
He did a whole piece.
So when we walk in, he wanted us to see that Germany still keeps graffiti alive.
And it was the most like respect, but I took it as disrespect because it just disappeared.
But he was trying to make us, what I'm trying to say is sometimes in overseas, in parts of London, in parts of Germany, in parts of Amsterdam, they live out more hip-hop than we do.
They still breakdancing.
They're still doing graffiti.
They're still doing all of these elements of hip-hop that we lost.
We just feel like we can rap and that's it.
And hip-hop, when Nan said hip-hop was dead, I believed him because hip-hop was in overseas.
It really was. I kid you not. I never felt more hip-hop was dead, I believed him. Because hip-hop was in overseas. It really was.
I kid you not.
I never felt more hip-hop.
Because you're going to realize, I wasn't out in the 80s.
I saw the 80s.
But I wasn't out.
I didn't have music out.
I didn't have music out in the early 90s.
I had music out in the late 90s.
But there was a whole bunch of era that I didn't miss from not participating.
But when I go to these certain places, I...
So you haven't performed overseas at all?
Ever.
Not even South America?
Not even trying.
Africa never?
This is amazing.
So you've obviously turned down offers.
Yeah.
You got to go, man.
Word.
And you're not going to...
That will change your...
Put me in jail over that, man. No, no. It'll change your perspective. I won't be able to talk to nobody. Be hot in go, man. Word. And you're not going to? That will change your. Motherfuckers will put me in jail.
No, no.
It'll change your perspective.
I won't be able to talk to nobody.
Be hot in there, motherfuckers.
I ain't got no food.
Some places, yes.
But not most places.
I don't know about A$AP Rocky, you.
I don't, man, dude.
I don't mix well with others, man.
Like, if the shit jump off, like, I'm going to ape shit.
Nah, you need to nah i think i
think it would change your perspective it ain't gonna work you know you know this crazy shit i'm
five percent you know so i i you know i i've watched all and germany was the exact opposite
of what i thought it would be like i thought i was gonna land and it's gonna be like people like
this hell hitler like i really did think that. And when I landed
and it was the exact, I guess
they worked on their
racism more than a lot of other people.
Yeah, they were so critical after
the Nazis that they went all the way left.
It was literally like,
hey, what's up black man?
It was just like,
and you got to realize,
they never seen us. They never seen
our people. So it's amazing because one realize they never seen us. They never seen our people.
So it's amazing because one, they never seen our people.
And two, when they find out who you are,
and three, they'll never get to see hip-hop like us.
We get to see Young Thug and Hitmaker every fucking week out here in Miami.
Fabulous comes every week, every month.
So we get spoiled. They're not going to ever be spoiled because Scarface isulous comes every week, every month. So we get spoiled.
They're not going to ever be spoiled
because Scarface is never going to come there
every Saturday.
Beatnuts are never going to come there
every Saturday.
So the fact that Scarface do show up there,
they're going to show the fuck out.
I do not work for these promoters,
but I highly recommend you go.
I think we just discovered
the biggest travel show ever
executive produced by Drink Chance. Yes. Where you go and think we just discovered the biggest travel show ever executive produced
by Drink Chance
where you go
and travel the world
yeah
bring Scarface overseas
I love that show
I do it
I'm telling you
I think that you would

Yeah, Karis 1.

Yeah, ice cream man got on my shit.
And stole my heart and shine, man.
But that's all right.
Much love to Pete.
Much love to Pete.
Now, keep me down.
This is the last question.
Ooh.
It's a cold motherfucker there.
Kane rapp wrapped it.
We made something out of nothing and vowed to never tear it apart.
We turned the street hustle into an art that would quickly change life forever for us.
No more riding bikes and catching the bus.
We on the roll up.
With money to fold up.
Cognac, cooked Yola.
Got the neighborhood about to blow up.
Hold up.
I see this van sitting.
This old man in the fitted
trying to get your little homie toe up.
Yo, bro.
We ain't working in this neighborhood.
Take your ass on, hog.
Before you make me feed your ass to my dog,
you fucking faggot.
I know you want to catch me with this bag so you can hide me.
Or with my 44 so you can 45 me.
Like, that was just one of them records, man,
that talking about motherfuckers trying to keep you down, man.
I know you want to catch me with this bag so you can hide me and put me in jail
forever or with my 44 so you can 45 me you know I pull out my 44 you pull out your 45 it's just
wordplay wordplay at its motherfucking finest, man.
Scarface, we just want you to know
our show is about giving people their flowers.
It's about...
Yeah, yeah, good move.
It's done, it's done.
There's no more air in there, I don't think.
That's how much we respect you.
Yes.
That was a brand new one.
I appreciate y'all, man.
Never really looked at it like that, though.
Never really looked at my career or my life like that.
Like, I'm so fucking great, bro.
I'm just mediocre, man, trying to live.
You need to stop that.
Number one, you need to stop that.
No, you are not mediocre.
I can't let you get away with that at all.
You are.
I can't even tell a lie, man.
I'm just glad to still be alive.
I'm glad to be able to take music
and experiences, man,
and put them motherfuckers on paper and put
them on tape and let motherfuckers
hear what I went through
or what I witnessed.
It's not really
all that big a deal to me.
That's a big deal to everyone else.
We just want to give you your roses,
give you your flowers,
let you know how,
you know,
great you are.
And real quick,
and face,
like,
because I'm from Miami
and this is the part
of the show that I rep
and when we was down south,
we had the Gucci Crews,
the Poison Clans,
the Two Live Crews,
all these guys
and then they all
are part of our DNA
down south.
I love Poison Clan.
But when it came to what we were seeking lyrically,
get a boy, Scarface,
that's what we were looking at.
Right.
And then you had Outkast.
And then you had Dundee.
I love Outkast.
And that's the lineage of what we were looking at
and what we were inspired by.
So please understand that.
So I started fucking her
and after a while,
she said it was her birthday
and she cracked a smile.
I said,
bitch, what the fuck
are you telling me for?
I don't give a damn
about your birthday, whore.
Poison Clan was one
of my favorite groups, man.
JT Money, Poison Clan?
Yeah.
Come on, man.
Yeah, that's my favorite.
Would you do verses?
Nah, I'm not interested. Really? Come on, man. Yeah, that's my favorite. What would you do versus? Nah, I'm not interested. Really?
Come on, man.
You know what?
Against T.I., the King of the South?
Nah, that ain't gonna be a good one.
I want to do one with Ice Cube.
That'd be a good one.
That'd be a great one.
That'd be a great one.
But it's not like a versus, like, you know, comparing catalogs.
It's like...
It's a celebration.
That's what it is, celebrating each other.
Nah, it's going to be bigger than that.
And it's not a versus.
It's a...
So what about all three
Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and you
It's like I love
And respect
Ice Cube so motherfucking much
Until
I would love to sit
In front of him and play my shit
And say hey man do you remember when you said
Cause I know all his shit too.
Right.
So, that would be a versus that I would love to do.
I see it.
And it wouldn't be like me versus him.
It would be like us.
I think that's what this all is now.
It's a celebration.
It all started out with versus.
No, because I seen some of Keith Sweats and Bobby Brown shit,
and it looked like them niggas was kind of at odds a little bit.
Nah, I got you.
It looked like Bobby was trying to dance against Keith,
and Keith was trying to sing against Bobby.
The only part that I seen that was a little crazy was when Keith said,
I got this some rock, and then Bobby said, drink responsibly.
Those fucking slang
words, man.
That was a little bit of slang words.
Don't help me out.
Don't help me, man.
That was the only part that was a little sketchy to me.
I was like, wait a minute. Why did he just tell
a man to drink responsibly? You know that's like
put your napkin on your
lap. Or stick your napkin on your lap.
Or stick your napkin in your shit.
Just like that.
Put your face small, man.
Let me just tell you something, man.
We waited five years for this, man.
This is worth every moment.
We really love you.
We really went all out and hit everybody.
Y'all almost fucked me up in here.
Yeah.
I almost caught one.
Well, you deserve it.
You deserve it because you know why?
In case you don't know, which I know you do know.
In case you don't know, you're a whole legend out here.
You're a real, real staple in hip-hop.
You're a person.
Let me finish giving you a flower.
You're a person that we really, really sincerely respect, honor, and love wholeheartedly.
And you need your flowers.
You need to be praised.
You need to blow up
