Yappy hour. Make some noise! All naughty by nature. I styled them for years. Yeah. Run DMC. For years, people thought that... Years, Tupac.

Run DMC and naughty by nature owned Walker Wear. Yeah. I was very ambiguous on purpose because I remember having a conversation with my father when I was first deciding I was going to go for it with Walker Wear. And I was like, I don't know if they'll accept a woman making men's clothes, you know. And he was like, well, if you got a chance, then don't do it. Wow, so purposely you stayed in the black box. I just was like, let the product lead.

Just make dope product, put it out there. Let that be the star and let people rock it. Like we never had official ambassadors. It was just love at that time with hip hop. Like hip hop was an energy feeds energy and we were all building and growing at that time with hip-hop. Like, hip-hop was energy feeds energy, and we were all building and growing at that time. So it was just like, I believe in you, you believe in me, let's rock.

I kind of know a Blood sign and a Crip sign. I don't know a Illuminati sign. What's a Illuminati sign? Bro, like, honestly. Bro, honestly, look. I don't know. No, no, no. Bro, this one's crazy, though. Is it horns? So apparently, honestly, look. I don't know. I'm just saying. Bro, this one's crazy, though.

Is he horns? So apparently, like, it's all this type of shit that I never knew that we were indulged in, bro. This is what's crazy. Because if you look at our album covers and shit, if you look at our album covers, there's always some mystic shit, always some crazy shit. Talking about both of them. I never knew what this shit was. That you was putting out?

No, no. Our first album... We getting deep, man. And then the thunders coming deep. Illuminati is definitely... We getting deep, son. Deep. We gotta watch out, man. Let's take another shot, Gray. You fucking...

Then he started going, Grandmaster, Grandmaster, Grandmaster. The crowd started going, Grandmaster, Grandmaster. That's when I became Grandmaster. Oh, my God. That was mad vivid. That was vivid. I'm still here. I'm still here. I'm still here.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So did you ever meet Jay after this? Oh, a ton of times. Okay. After Death of a Order 2? A ton of times.

Okay. All right. So. I love how he laughs at himself. I'm so fucking awkward, bro. You know, I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. Not your bro. I love it. I love it. I'm just real awkward.

No, you're normal. I love it. So, I saw him and B at a Grammy after party. I love the floss. I love the floss. See how you just put that together? Him and B at the Grammy after party. They're going to invite me to Grammys, bro.

That's how the Grammys are. I had two cups of Hennessy, so I couldn't shake his hand. Hennessy ain't going nowhere, huh? You're gonna invite me to Grammys, bro. Check out the Grammys. Check out the big floors. Go ahead. I had two cups of Hennessy, so I couldn't shake his hand. Hennessy ain't going nowhere, huh? Oh, it didn't. It didn't leave. Hold on a minute. Tell me, tell me. You didn't shake the man's hand?

I couldn't. I had two cups of Hennessy. His hand is more important than the Hennessy, man. You could have put it down. Put it down. There's no tables. There's literally nowhere. I had to put it on the ground.

It would have been weird, but they were really fucking. You could have did it like this. No, no. They were very full. Okay. So I would have had my finger in the hole of one of them. Okay, yeah, all right. So two cups of Hennessy.

This shit is so stupid. Okay. And I was thinking of what to say. I wanted to say two things, and they collided. I wanted to say thank you for everything,

but also sorry for the confusion. And I fucking said sorry for everything. Sorry for everything. Fuck. He must have been like, huh? The nigga, the nigga,

bro, he knew I couldn't shake his hand and the nigga hit me with one of the, it's all good, bro. Little man. Little man. Good looking.

On your head? Damn it. Wait, wait, on your head? On my head, bro. Yeah, that was a little, Wait, wait, on your head? On my head, bro. Yeah, that was some little nigga shit, bro. OK, bro. It's all good, little man. Ah!

What? Why? Oh, shit. And then I tried to, oh, god damn. I tried to comfort myself a little bit by doing the elbow to B. She hit the elbow. The fucking Hennessy dropped on her white dress.

Oh, my God. This is getting worse. I was like, you know what? I'm going to go find the closest gun. I'm going to just go ahead and just find the closest gun. This has been great. I appreciate y'all being here. I'm going to just go ahead and end it. I'm going to go ahead and end it now I'ma go ahead and end it now.

I'ma just go find security. Just come on, man. You know what this is? Kick me out, bro. Somebody come take these. Somebody. You didn't even get this out of my hands. I can't stand this shit.

I don't know what to do with my hands. Somebody kick me out of this motherfucker, please. Bro, she hit my elbow in the shit like. Oh my God. Long ass white dress too. Like elbow in the shit like oh my god long ass white dress like one of the ones like somebody's supposed to carry behind you and shit yeah it was i did not do good that day my block to your block that's yep that's the one that's that's the record with Jay-Z. Okay. How did this happen? So, you know what? Jay, I mean, so it's funny that Jay is like successful.

But back then, he had the work ethics of... That's real. No, no, but I'm saying... He's like, it's funny. I'm saying because it's the people who have that kind of determination and drive. It takes them a while. But even like going Jadakiss, you say like, Jadakiss been dope, right?

But I think yesterday proves to everybody else that who didn't know how dope he was, right? It shows he's great, actually. But he's been great, though, honestly, right? So with Jay, it's like, even from the first time at Priority, whatever he was doing, whatever, he's trying to look for a deal, whatever. When was that part? I already did. I didn was trying to look for a deal whatever he was that quick

but what happened was this is a funny story it's like I wanted Jay nobody really knew what Jay was doing at the time but I kind of wanted him

before and then it kind of worked out we got together and so I'm like yo I need this song and by that time by the time I actually got to it

Jay was kind of popping a little more. And rest in peace to DMX, too. I think it's supposed to be me, DMX, and Jay on the record. And DMX was like, I got you. You know what I'm saying? Not to say I got you, but I got you. And I think what happened, I had a... He's watching us right there.

Look, he's watching. My guy. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. But so what happened was my album had, remember there was a tour that Jay-Z and DMX was on? Yeah. No.

It was a Hard Knock Life tour. That's the one. So what happened was my album was supposed to be turned in on a Thursday at 10 a.m. 11 a.m. and I think the tour was over Wednesday night. Okay. So Wednesday night and I needed it. I said, I need this thing by Thursday. We're remastering it, right? Right.

So. And y'all in the same session or he had the same thing? No, no, no. He's in a concert. He's at the concert. And he was like, I got you, but, you know, it's funny because he left the show,

I think, immediately, went back and knocked it out like three or four in the morning and sent it. You know what I'm saying? For you to make the time

in the morning. For me to make the time. You know what I'm saying? And he could have just been, you know, and I'm tired, I just rocked the show. And salute to DMX, too. He didn't really want to do it, but he just probably was like, I'm going the time in the morning. For me to make the time. Wow. You know what I'm saying? And he could have just been, you know, and I'm tired. I just rock the show. And salute to DMX, too.

He didn't really want to do it, but he just probably was like, I'm going to get in the morning. I didn't have time to do it. So I just had to go with, boom, when Jay gave me. And he came through, man. And I hit Jay.

I'm like, yo. Because Jay killed it. I'm like, yo, how much I owe you? Jay like, it ain't been nothing. I was about to give him a hundred. He was like, nah, we good on the house. And it's good because he asked me to do something. I did something for him. So it was dope. It was a dope nothing. I was about to give him a hundred. He was like, nah, we good on the house. And it's good because he asked me to do something. I did something for him, so it was dope.

It was a dope situation. Jay's solid, man. Jay's always solid. Let's just be clear. He just said, I was going to give him a hundred. Let's just be clear. It ain't a hundred dollars. It's about a hundred dollars. Holy guacamole. Shout out to Jay.

We were meeting these girls and they was like, well, we don't want anybody to get offended or think that you're taking shots at them. They think that deep about it? I was like, I don't even know nobody in real life, but Missy Elliott, and I'm not talking about her. Like, are you kidding me? So, I did Superwoman Part II.

I was in L.A. with Clue working on a record because we had did songs with B2K. Like, Clue and Dura produced. Yeah. You heard that, young girl? We did a song with a girl, an artist that was on DreamWorks because they cut checks.

Her name was Kanayla Cox. DreamWorks, that was Steven on Spielberg record label. Yes. And Drano was cutting checks he was from LA he was a street nigga he'd be like I want 50,000

for a song and the motherfucker don't even come out hey I don't care day checks clear so um we were doing

the song and we were doing the song and the session was over there was two hours left

but Clue had to get back to the east coast for his Monday night mixtape and I was still in LA and I was like you got two we ain't wasting this two hours and we ain't just to get back to the east coast for his Monday night mixtape and I was still in LA and I was like you got two we ain't wasting this two hours and we ain't just sitting up here so I was like hey play me a beat he played me the superwoman beat he was playing beats he was

like I think you should do something like this and I was like I don't like when people tell me what to do this is Clue he's playing beats so he plays a beat and it was just a and I was like I want that because that song that sound is so annoying I want to annoy people but when I put my vocals over it that shit gonna go up he was like I can't give you that be since that's for MOP oh wait up wait up wait up wait up did MOP have a version of it already way too fast already with M. You got to slow down. Y'all didn't do a remix already with M.O.P. on in that. I was like, how about some hardcore? Yeah, we like it raw. This is so great information. That's crazy. This is stuff

people would never know. We need more of this. So you're telling me Superwoman, part two, original beat for that song was made for M.O.P.? For M.O.P. Whoa. You killed, like you said, you killed it so much I can't even think about it. And trust me, M.O.P., I'm a big M.O.P.? For M.O.P. Whoa. You killed, like you said, you killed it so much I can't even think about it.

And trust me, M.O.P., I'm a big M.O.P. fan. But now that I hear what you did to it, I can't even fathom them rhyming on that. What was crazy was it was literally just a da-da-da-da-da-da-da. It still stayed Brooklyn, right? Da-da-da-da-da-da. And the beat was dum-dum-dum. But I sang over Soda every day. I sang that. There was no chords and no keys, so I sang over it so that every day, I sang that there was no chords and no keys,

so I had to sing that, I told them, I said, drop the music, tell me how many beats per minute, so I, Duro edited it out, but I would have to, I was like, every day, I was snapping my fingers, singing that, and I had to stack my vocals, so we later had some producers, not producers, some musicians come in and play the bridge the strings and then Those keys on so if you hear the original beat to what it became the TV track you'll be like

You could tell I was around Quincy Jones in them because I see the wind the wind from your applause nah but it was just like it was for M.O.P. so I did the song and I sent it to Clue we had the Delta Dashing

his was the craziest thing Delta Dashing remember those days yeah I'm showing my age why would you put M.O.P. and Fab on there

okay so the thing is was with Fab I'm always listening I used to be a mixtape head and Clue's like who do you want to Okay, so the thing is, was with Fab, I'm always listening. I used to be a mixtape head. Right.

And Clue was like, who do you want to get it? Because by that time, I had worked with Missy, Ja, Jay. Everybody knew my name. Who do you want to get on it? I was like. When you say Jay, you're talking about Jay-Z. Jay-Z, yeah. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I could have had M.O.P. on it or anybody, you know.

And I was with Elektra, so it could have been a check. But my budget was basically tapped out Which means that I still have money on a back end, but I didn't want to use all the money because I knew So I know Jay-z's be like, I know Duros Mixaphy is going to be going to absorb that. So I know Jay-Z is going to charge $100,000. Missy is going to charge me $200,000. M.O.T. is going to charge me $400,000 for the disrespect for taking their record. So wait, they already knew that they had that record? Or are they going to find out now?

I don't know. They might be finding out now. So Clue was like, so who do you want to get on the record? I think it would be dope with a rap. I said, the boy that spelled his name on all your records. He was like, Spizz? I'm like, yeah. I'm like, he's dope.

He was like, oh, that's easy. Text him and Fab. And he was with, he wasn't with Skank. He was with Webb and Cheo. Him and Webb came to the studio with yellow do-rags on chicken boxes at Skytel Pages. So I'm thinking he's going to come in there being this big old- I'm sorry, I don't know what chicken boxes is. Chicken, like it comes in a box with chicken and french fries.

You talking about real, I thought it was a slang. Oh, what do y'all call them? Real chicken boxes? They came in there with food. Okay, okay, okay. So me thinking, oh my God, he was all in the mixtapes dancing, rapping, spelling his name. I think he's going to come in there with all these Slick Rick jewelry on and wailing out. He came in there with just him.

Yellow do-rags. Yellow do-rags and chicken box. And I believe maybe street fam. It was like, I'm just like, oh, y'all didn't come in here with 100 people? So I'm just like, so you ready to do your part? Because I'm going to go out. I'm going to let you do your thing. He's like, oh, I'm ready.

Oh, OK. Let me move out your way. So we were at right track. I leave out. So he comes back like a couple of minutes later. So I'm like, you finished? He's like, yeah, so before we push forward, I hope you don't mind, I did a little something in the intro,

and I did something at the end. Oh, so you're just working above and beyond. So soon as I heard da-da-da-da-da, he was like, do-do, M-O. I was like, oh, my God, he spelled my name at the beginning. Bam. So he was like little M.O. I was like oh my god he spelled my name at the beginning so he was like I guess I ain't got soon as I heard his voice and what he said I was like you've got to be kidding me what was his first couple lines I guess I ain't got no reason to mingle around I found a superwoman that could leave from the truck in a single bound mommy I'm trying to bling you

down some niggas without shades on can't stand when I bring you round She put her lips on the weed still pull it to work her tongue and make me come faster than the speed and bullet My love stronger than a locomotive, but only for the F-A-B-O-L-O You better sing to me ma Yeah! I was like how did he know? So then when he's like oh here go the Empire so I'm like, when is it coming? Then after the bridge, he was like, the superwoman might have saved my day. The skios, I would have gained some play.

Now he wouldn't even wave that way. I understand why the mother chicks behave that way. They see the icy yes on your chest, engraved in gray. If you whipped, he might, because usually with them things, he tight. But only green he keep from me is kryptonite. The way the blue and red fitting on your hips so bright, I be like, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, so bright i'd be like damn i was like we're winning

i was so excited i'm like how did you know i didn't even have to say well maybe you should tighten it up and i was like we out of here electro didn't want to put out the record because they didn't feel like nobody knew who he was so clue played on his mixtape and then after well the monday night mixtape on high 97 he just kept on going up to and after that there was oh my god. This record is a smash so I literally saw him go from them we had a Spacey you say you put fab on this A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.

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.

Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen 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.

And it's going to take us to heal us. It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and on a recent episode of Just Heal with Dr. J, the incomparable Taraji P. Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered peace on her journey. So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort. You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little girl inside of me die.

I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid. I laugh. You know, I love jokes. I love funny. I love laughing. I laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously.

That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard. To hear this and more things on the journey of healing, you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

AT&T, connecting changes everything. So is Eat Booty Gang still in effect? Connecting changes everything. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Who is it? Wait, wait, wait, wait. When you say women's is a 4 to 8 booty game, you saying women is eating the booty? Yeah, women eat the booty, too. Oh, come on. Wait, wait, what? Yeah. I don't know whether to make noise for that or not. Yeah, I get ate out. Yeah, wait, wait, what?

What the shit, man? I get ate out. Listen to me. Listen to me. All right, Trick, you don't have your legs in the air, though. It depends. We don't need to think about it like that, bro. I see Kika Preet. Listen see Kika Pree, listen.

Kika Pree ruined my childhood. Listen, I'm on the road. I'm on the road, Kika Pree told me to come to his room to watch, to play PlayStation. At the time, I'm 18 years old. I'm really thinking we going to go play PlayStation. I go to this nigga's room, this nigga put on a video. He got his legs wide the fuck up in the air.

And the bitch just eating it up. Ruined my childhood. I was never the same, never looked at PlayStation the same after that. So. Or King Capri. Or King Capri. No, King Capri.

My man, I got over that. But it was the first time I'd never seen that. I'd never seen that before. So you started out eating booty, then what made you say? No, no, no, no, no, no. First of all, okay, first of all, I'm a pleaser first.

I would prefer to eat the girl out before she give me head. Because I had a lot of terrible head. There's a lot of non-dick suckers out there. I'm just going to be straight up with it. There's a lot. The majority of the women that suck dick, they think that they're supposed to and that they have to suck dick. I want me a woman that appreciate and love to suck dick. Like, you know what I'm saying?

I can guess what you're talking about. We still looking around like, what's happenin' with me, what's happenin' with me? I guess we can talk about that. So I became a pleaser to the point where, to the point where she ain't even gotta suck my dick, just let me eat that pussy. And then after a while, you know, you got the goose, you know, good the women got the goose What's that

Between the little hallway So that's when a girl hit my ghost two or three times with the flick of the tongue. I was like... In a whole different kind of episode. So I raised the bridge up on her. Like, hey. I'm like, hey. So I raised the bridge up on her. You let her on it?

Hey, that's it, sir. So I raised my hand Jump on it From You let her on it Hey It's just You know I get mad sometimes When I go on Clubhouses And I go on You know

Twitter and things like that And they have trending topics Like Kevin Hart ain't funny I can't I don't understand that I went into a room Like that one time With

They said Tiffany Haddish Ain't funny And normally what that is Is trolls So when I went into a room like that one time where they said Tiffany Haddish ain't funny. And normally what that is is trolls. So when I went in that room, she jumped in it too. Okay. And she stayed in for about an hour,

but I spent about 10 minutes telling them niggas, don't do that corny shit. All right. You know what I'm saying? Because no matter if you affect five people. Why, you knew the people that were running? I didn't know any of them. Oh, okay.

I just went in there and started screaming at people. All right, cool. I'm just like, look, man. Cool. Y'all out here doing this troll shit. It was like, no, we just wanted to get her in here so we could talk to her about some issues over in Africa. All right, cool.

What the fuck? I get that, right? But to go and say someone's not funny, to go against, to post something against their livelihood. Right. Black people are always talking about, we don't have enough and we don't have this but we're the first people to do some dumb shit like that so um moving on how did you start acting what was what was the acting bug who who told you it was uh the first the first off i got was to be in a uh the friday

movie to be in fridays as the little little kid Chris kicking over the garbage cans. And I was like, I ain't doing that. Wait, wait, tell me, tell me, tell me. So when you said kicking over the garbage cans, you're talking about Friday? Yeah, they wanted me to kick over. What's wrong? What are you talking about? They told you not to do it? No, I didn't want to do it.

Oh, you didn't want to do it. Because think about it, right? During that time, right, we're talking early 90s. You were the kid Chris in the garbage can. Oh, that would have been a legend. This is the early 90s. you was kind of sell out like at that time it was like yo you got a movie it was a sellout right hold on i remember even the clan this is no disrespect to anybody but i remember there was a time right because i hung with kane and kane man

that's like that's like that's all that's my heart right and he would always give me these jewels like never sell your publishing do this and, yo, you need to take your career to do movies and things like that. And I would come back home around, trying to make you a sellout. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And I'm like, yo. And then, so I'm like, nah.

My mind was like, I don't want to be a sellout. You know what I'm saying? Like, nah, I'm hip-hop all the way. That was the era. Being on the radio was selling you out on the radio. That was true. If you made it to the radio, you was done. You ain't radio.

You ain't barbeque throwing stress. You made it to the radio. Oh, this nigga's a dub. You be in a party, nigga be like, nah, he don't rep us no more. It wasn't to commercials and things and money like that. And people said, forget all this. Forget sticking true to the culture. I'm going to get the bag.

And if I got to do a flip in a Sprite commercial, that's what they did. And it made, it sells everybody out at the end of the day. But wait, was the Friday thing before the TLC video? Yeah, yeah, it was before because it's the same director. So when that ain't happened for that, he called me back. He said, all right, it's not acting. It's just being in a video. And all you're doing is being yourself.

He said, I said, what is it for? He said, TLC. I was like, oh shit, TLC. Yeah, I'm on that. And it was just to be in a video. I didn, what is it for? He said, TLC. I was like, oh shit, TLC. Yeah, I'm on that. And it was just to be in a video. I didn't think of it as acting. I didn't think of it as acting. I just thought of it as being in a video.

But Friday, did you know Ice Cube was attached to that? I didn't really care. You know what I mean? I didn't care because for me, what meant the world was coming to a party and Rakim giving you a dap or Chuck D telling me that I'm the bridge and it's like, no, I'm not, man.

Listen, I want to be accepted. You know what I'm saying? On the block. I don't really care about that other stuff. You know what I mean? So that's why. And I like the fact you're holding a smoke champs joint. I like that.

If you want to light up, you can light up. If you want to light up, yeah, you can light up. It's okay. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. You thinking about it. You thinking about it. All right, come on.

You my Joe Rogan. Let's go. Let's go. Hey, man, I'm not a real smoker. Y'all ain't going to embarrass me. You got to light it. I got the gloves. I'm going to be like.

Yeah, somebody light it for him, please. So let me ask you. This is this kind of serious question, right? Yeah. Because I remember when Nas named his company Elwell, right? Yeah. And I believe that he had to change the name of his company because it's easy to say like, fuck Elwell, but Elwell is an actual

person. El Will was his actual best friend. So was it ever a time where you said that about naming your album that because let's suppose somebody don't like this album and somebody could say fuck Donald. They're not saying fuck your mother but they're saying

fuck the actual material. Did you ever feel any concern about that, naming it after her? Not at all, but I have seen them do these things. When everybody said they liked Donda way better than CLB, they had this thing where they had these football players coming up saying,

would you like better CLB or Donda? And then they was like, CLB. And then one of them was like, yeah, fuck Donda. I was like, bro, that's my mama yeah yeah so no so you did feel that a certain way like Like, it was a football player saying fuck. Yeah, but he was saying fuck the album. There's a lot of us fighting in all kind of different ways. It's like that 13th Amendment needs to completely be eradicated.

Which is? The thing is, it's a specific amendment for slavery for black people. That's in the current Constitution. When we shut up and dribble and we rap and we do all this, this thing is still in the Constitution. As famous as black people and as powerful as we are and as influential as we are, there still are pieces of our 2021 Constitution that are only aimed towards the lost hebrew race known the lost hebrew people pardon me known as black and that is still modern day um modern day slavery so i'm you got to give collectively that's that's the whole point that's the reason why it talks of me and drake doing a concert uh to uh to bring life to hoover together and that's i see you with jay prince and and jay

prince obviously is affiliated i see the rapper lot chain jay prince spoke about it here i believe i'm not wrong yeah yeah you know so for a bigger call for period i love drake anyway you know i'm saying it's just i was just basically i was just telling you like little back for basketball type of professional rap stuff we was dealing with but on a bigger and also i say you know those of us that know how to organize are brought to their demise because they do not want us to be organized. They want us to be modern day slaves. Deep shit, man. Deep shit. Deep shit. Thanks for joining us for another episode of Drink Champs
