We can get up or whatever.

Now, this is your first time seeing people since the incident? No. You seen people before? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, we kind of, now, we kind of seen each other afterwards, you know what I'm saying? So we kind of had like. But they didn't talk?

No, we talked, but now we kind of just went into a little more, like, you know what I'm saying? We shut down the talk, and I told him. I apologized to him as well, you know what I'm saying? We shut down the talk, and I told him. I apologized to him as well, you know what I'm saying? Oh, wow. Yeah. Facts. This is a real man right here. Let's make some fucking noise.

You guys have two lives. Two lives is a real motherfucker. So listen. It takes a lot. It took a lot of growing for me to get to that point, you know? And I just told him that I'm going to change, you know, the man that was standing in front of him that day was just a different person, you know? So, and I told him, actually, I told him that I'm going to change, you know, the man that was standing in front of him that day was just a different person, you know.

So and I told him actually I told him I actually told him that I was proud of him, you know, to sit there to even have that conversation, because I know it takes a certain kind of man, you know, had that conversation, you know, to sit down and do that. So I told him I was proud of him. And then and then. So we're proud of you for that. But then also we see like when you first came home, like your third day or something for that, but then also, we see, like when you first came home, like your third day or something like that, you posted a picture

with Jay-Z at Roc Nation, correct? Yeah. So how was that? Because I heard you say on The Breakfast Club, you was like,

most people thought you was going to come home mad. Yeah. And you came home happy as fuck, jewelryed up, you know what I'm saying?

Well, I'll be honest with you, you know, when I was in the pen, you know, it's a lot of resentment, a lot of anger, you know, that you feel when you're in there. But I just knew I couldn't come home with that. You know, I had to leave that behind me.

You know, because I know that's the devil. So I ain't trying to be with the devil. I'm trying to be with God. And I just felt like that's a heavy burden that nobody want to carry around. Hate, anger. Like, I don't want to be a person to be bitter and carry hate. I don't want to hate anyone. So I just knew it was time to just let go and forgive everybody. Let's make some noise for that guy, damn it.

You said Jay Thomas told me you were going to get me drunk. It's time for you, motherfucker. Let me just say something. Jay Thomas, you know what's the most funniest shit? Not the funniest. This is the most realest shit yesterday. I'm at your video, and I want to really support you. So I wasn't there as an artist.

I was just really there as a person to support you. And one of your guys, I don't know if he's here. He had, there you go, right here. Come over here. Come over here. Come over here. I knew I knew him, right? But I just didn't remember where I knew him, but I knew I knew him.

And he came up to me, he gave me a five. And I said, how you doing, my brother? And you know, this is his exact words he said to me. I said, how you doing? He said, I'm straight. Lazy home. Yo, his, his, how you call it?

Demeanor? Oh my God. When I looked at him, and it made me realize how many people you employ. And that looked at him, and it made me realize how many people you employ. And that doesn't mean, like, you're giving them money. But it's so many people who have faith and have hope in you. And that shit was crazy to me. Like, I know you don't even know what you did to me yesterday.

I know when he said it, and I just looked at him, and I was just analyzing him. And because he said, yo, man, I said, yo, how you doing? He said, lazy home. And it actually fucked me up. That's the first thing I thought about when I woke up just now. It was like how many people who depended on you, how many people who trusted in you to change their life. And now you're home again. And although you're just home

like maybe two, three months maybe, you still have that responsibility that the Lower East Side... And what I mean by Lower East Side, I'm not saying fuck Lower East Side, I'm not saying fuck Lower East Side, I'm saying... But it's so many people

who really just look at you to change the world. Like, how does, how does, how is a lot of responsibility? You got Matt. Thank you for having more responsibility than me. Like, how the hell is that, though? You know, I just feel like I learned a lot from the mistakes that I made in the past, and I just feel, I realized that I did let a lot of people down, you know, by certain decisions that I made in my life. And I'm trying to correct those things and do things differently now. So I'm trying to make them proud, and I'm trying to go out here and win and trying to help out and do things in a different way.

So I just feel like I'm trying to put God first and stay positive and win and do what I was supposed to do the first time. Right. The thing about true is, right, this is the most thing I love about true, is true is righteous. True is a half a God body. He's a half a God. You're a half a God body. I was God body. That's why I got true life.

You know what I'm saying? So I remember, like, it was a rumor. They was like, yo, true life is Muslim in jail. And I forgot who, buddy. That's why I got True Life. You know what I'm saying? So I remember, like, it was a rumor. They was like, yo, True Life is Muslim in jail. And I forgot who I asked. I was like, yo, is True Life Muslim in jail? That nigga said he was eating pork on the visit. Is that true? No, that's not true.

Just make some noise for it not being true. God damn it. Yo, but True, listen, let me just tell you something, my brother. Once again, I would like to apologize to you as a man, because when I heard that you had, like, you wasn't mad at me, but you was disappointed in me. What happened? What the fuck happened? No, because, like, I didn't go all out

to actually make sure that he knew that my love is still there for him. And when you're in jail, I've been in jail. I did three and a half years. I did in jail. I did three and a half years. I did a year before that, three and a half years. So he's the only rapper that I had no argument with. Like, I couldn't even defend myself.

Because the thing about life is when you're wrong, you can't be righted, too. You gotta just be fucking wrong. And you're the first person, and I would like to apologize because I really do love you as a brother, my nigga.

Nah. And listen, I'm going to make sure, because yesterday I was peeping, and I was like, yo, this is my brother right here. He's like, yo, this is my guy. I was like, oh, I'm catching that guy shit. I was like, I'm catching.

But you know what? I'm going to work. Because you know what? You got a point. You probably wasn't peeping, but I was. I'm pecking. You know what I'm saying? You're definitely pecking. Listen, you're a twin. You probably wasn't peeping it, but I was. I'm petty. You know what I'm saying?

You're definitely petty. Yo, Twit, you ain't made me drink. You're fine, okay, man. So listen, I got to apologize to you. And you also got your man with me. Listen, let me tell you something. All night I was watching your moves. I got a bag for it.

Let's talk about this video, man. Okay, come to the mic. What's your name again? Velas, man. And you really, what's that nigga named? Quentin Miller. You really like, for Drake, right? No, come to the mic. What's your name again? Velas, man. And you really, what's that nigga named? Quentin Miller. You really like, for Drake, right?

Nah, I'm just playing. Look at you guys. You got nervous. You got nervous. You got nervous. I'm just fucking with you. But you did work with Drake. That's true.

Yeah, I worked with Drake. That's a beautiful thing. Who else you work with? Kanye. Oh, shit. You did Kanye's, this is one of Kanye's favorite record.

Before All Day Hat came out, I was filming French Montana's video for what the fuck is the record I did for French Montana come on somebody

help me out everybody looking at me like I'm retarded off the rip off the rip and French played me All Day All Day

All Day All Day and I was like that's my favorite Kanye record of all time. And I've been trying to get at you. True was introducing me to you. And I was like, but I know him from somewhere. I thought I fucked your bitch a bad bit.

Nah. That might happen. There's a lot of niggas that look at me with that look. They be like, nigga, you fucked my bitch. You know what I'm saying? But you wasn't. You wasn't. But let's tell the people.

First off, introduce yourself. My name is Fellas, a.k.a. Young Disco. And how the hell you hook up with True Life? We have the same manager, Gabi. Let's make up to Gabi and get a lot of money. Got that? Got that? I heard Gabi and Prince not fucking around.

I don't know. Let's get into that later. But go ahead. Continue. So, you know. So, we came home. When we got in the studio, we just started vibing, man. Wow.

And you're from New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People don't know that. We need to claim you. I'm from up top, but. Up top? I've been down low for like five years. What that mean?

Upstate New York? Upstate, yeah. Oh, okay. That's okay. Albany? I will sell to Albany. Kingston, KI. He only wants you out of there. I shot it all day. I shot it all day.V, Kingston, KI. He only once shouted out.

That's how you shout it out all day. You know what's the name of it? Kingston, Kingston, Kingston. Kingston, let's do it. Let's make some noise for Kingston. So, True Life is home. You squashed the beef for Prodigy. Yeah.

Me and you is rocking. Hey, where's my drink? Where's my drink? Yo, he's... No drink for Nori on free chance. You and True Life is rocking. I mean, you and Prodigy is rocking. Yo, yo, where's my drink? Where's my drink? Yo, he's... No drinks for Nori on three chances. Yo, you and True Life is rocking. I mean, you and Prodigy is rocking. Yeah.

There's this interview that comes out, and this guy, Jim Jones, is on The Breakfast Club, right? I got love for Jim Jones, and I know that if you guys get in the room, it'll be worked out. But what did he say? He said something about you in the breakfast club. It was, I don't know.

That shit was like minute to me. So it's like, you know what I'm saying? I don't need to pay attention to that. I just sit back and I laugh at shit like that. So you think it's a possibility that y'all could work it out? Or is that something you're looking forward to? As far as me, I don't got no issue with him. You know what I'm saying?

I don't got no issue with him as far as me because I've forgiven everybody, you know? Because when you want God to forgive you, you got to learn to forgive others. And I ain't been the most forgiving person in my life. You understand what I'm saying? So when I sat in that cell and I had to realize that I was asking for forgiveness for all the things that I've done wrong in my life, you know, when you're sitting there facing life in prison, you know, when you're sitting there, you know, dealing with that type of heavy burden, you just realize like, you know, I guess it taught me how to forgive, you know, because I'll be honest with you. Like I bumped in old boy and like we could have worked it out.

But when you came home? No. Oh, no. Back then, back then, we had a little, you know, low running where we could have probably worked it out. But I wasn't in that space. I wasn't in that space. I was I was I was still in another world. I was in another mind state. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, but I'm in a different mind. I'm just in a different whole space right now. I'm in a space where even if he got something to say bad about me, I really don't, you know, I can't pay attention to what somebody else think about me.

You know what I'm saying? Like, that's not going to affect. You can't rent space in my mind. You know what I'm saying? It costs too much money to get in my head. You know what I'm saying? That's another dream champ's quote right there. That's another dream champ's quote.

I'm going to have you laugh. I stopped you. We're going to have to. We're going to have know what I'm saying? That's another Dream Champs quote right there. That's another Dream Champs quote. I stopped. We're going to have to we're going to have to I'm sorry. I stopped mid-sentence. I was like, I'm going to take that.

That shit ain't free. That shit ain't free. That shit costs money to get in my head. We would love for Jim Jones and True Life to sit down

because you know what's happening right now and I don't want to keep reiterating the story but the people at drink champs know uh fat joe had called me one day and fat joe was like how did you get in contact with jay-z and i told him nigga nobody gets in contact with jay-z he gets in contact with yeah so he's like how the fuck could you so i had i had set off a trend without knowing I was setting off a trend. So I hit Jay. I hit Fat Joe.

And I worked out their... Whoa, let me stop. I didn't work out their beef. I knew both of them wanted to squash it. So I put them on the phone and I relaxed. You mediated. But that initial conversation has set off a lot of other things. Drake and DMX. Drake had just sampled dmx voice excuse me dmx records and uh dmx manager ali sammy big you up big up randy aca big up mr

lee but um they got me on the phone it was like yo drake just sampled all shit obviously that was dmx like and i made that happen i set off a trend because you know i'm cool with drake Obviously, that was DMX. But, thanks, everyone. Tony, I want to speak to him. Like, and I made that happen. I set off a trend. Because, you know, I'm cool with Drake. 40 is one of my favorite producers, and I happen to be one of his favorite artists.

So I set up this trend. So when I see that you and Jim wasn't perfectly, you know, it was something that I wanted to help out. You know what I'm saying? It was something that I wanted to pursue because every You know what I'm saying? It was something that I wanted to pursue

because every rapper in the world, I'm going to say it once again, I owe you. You know what I'm saying? Because I owe you because our friendship. Like, you're the only rapper

that ever, ever, ever had an issue with me and I said, he's right. And you stubborn as a motherfucker. Oh, I'm stubborn. If my wife is mad at me Like yo you ain't Picking up the groceries

I'm like so what Motherfucker What's your problem Like you know what I'm saying But you the only And I will make it up to you I promise you This is face to face

Eye to eye Nah nah nah I'm gonna make it up to you Because Sometimes I'm not The best person in the world But I got the best intentions But so with that being said, I seen you with Jay.

I see all this. Then I see you come out. You do a video. First off, is the budget open? This nigga had Ferraris, two Ghosts. Then he had another two Ghosts on the side just sleeping. I'm talking about phantoms. I'm saying some Ghosts for a second. I was like, God damn. Yeah, I did that too. He had Ghosts too on the side just sleeping. I'm talking about phantoms. I thought he said goats for a second.

I was like, goddamn. He had that too. He had ghosts too. He had ghosts. Like, how the fuck? Like, for real. Like, honestly. If I'm in Costa Rica, which I'm going to Costa Rica.

I got this show for Costa Rica. I want a chance to come to Costa Rica in October. I'm sorry. I want applause. But if I go to Costa Rica for two, three months, I miss what's going on in New York. I miss what's going on in Miami. You came home, and I know I keep doing this because I even fly. Y'all niggas was doing some dance, and I was like, I've been trying this dance in the mirror for like six months, and I can't get it right.

This nigga just came home from eight years and he going, I don't know who made a bag for it. I'm like, how the fuck he doing today that's better than me? How does that work? How do you guys,

because at the end of the day, all due respect, give me a five, all due respect to you, but there's no way you can know him to get in his bag. How the hell did that come about, that record?

Oh, man, we just really, we went in there just vibing. We got, like, a lot of records together. I think it was, like, a natural thing, man. Honestly, I just had came home and was just hearing different music. My son playing me different music, you know, putting me up on what was good and what's bad. And, you know, just hearing the 14-year--olds point of view on music and stuff like that. I just knew I had to, I couldn't stay lost in space somewhere,

so I felt like I had to bring some things up to speed. And I don't know, it just ended up, it was all natural, really. I wasn't even trying to change things. It was just more, I just wanted to make music that was fly and felt good. And I ended up meeting my boy, Miles Williams. He's somewhere around he ate my boy

right there that's my guy too I met him yesterday as well he produced the track you know what I'm saying and I don't know we just had great

chemistry working with him and then you know I brung him around we linked up with him and then you know just everything just came together man we're just

So I'm like I'm gonna get on you got on kids. They gave me the pass. Like, Dad, go get them. So I'm like, all right, I'm on their ass now. You got to go get them. I'm on their ass now. So the week you came home, right, I had dropped my record with Bleak. Yeah. Me and Bleak. And I didn't ask Bleak, what do we name it or nothing. But I had dropped it, and Bleak was like, he called me.

He was like, I don't know if True Life going to like our shit. And I was like, why? And he was like, I was like, why would True Life like our shit? And he goes, because he got a label called Mogu Tree, right? And we have a song called Mogu. He was like, I think we should call it something else. I was like, true, no. Like, I'm creative.

Like, I'm not biting off of him. Like, but this is a dope name for a company. And did you come home with this company mindset? Yeah, I thought about that on the inside. I just had a vision in my head and I felt like I wanted to come home and, you know, go balls to the wall and do things differently. And I just wanted to be independent and do my own thing. Like I've been offered a couple of situations already, but we just trying to figure independent and do my own thing. Like, I've been over a couple situations already, but we just trying to figure it out right now.

You know what I'm saying? And we just trying to build a brand over here. We got a bunch of different artists under me. You know, we got different producers, singers, songwriters, all type of shit, and we just trying to build our own wave, and we just doing what we doing.

You know what I'm saying? Well, the one thing I want to do is, prior to you getting locked up, we was together like every other day. And one day you had a van, I remember. And you picked me up. We chilling in Jersey. We didn't go to New York this day. And I heard your whole album.

You had played me your album. Which was the album then? You had a record with Nas? Yeah. And Jay-Z. And you my man at the time. And I was still a little bit hating. I was like, how the fuck he pull that off?

You had Nas and Jay-Z. And this nigga didn't leak the record. What the fuck? You still ain't see the light of day? No. Yo, my nigga! Listen to me. I would have leaked that the second day I was in jail. Twice.

Twice. What twice? Like, I can't believe, like, this is certain. Like, yo, our level is at a different peak than most people. Like, I swear to God, every day you was in, like, a way, I was like, why the fuck he didn't leak that shit? Because would have made 200,000 just why I just don't and neither one of archives with a lot of people. I got no archives, my nigga. I got pun records, but he's dead. Other than that.

You don't hold shit. Other than pun, I don't hold shit. Like, I'm not going to lie. Joe came to my crib one time and I played him some pun records. He was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I said, there's nothing wrong with me. I don't want to make no money off of this dead man. And he said damn

And I swear to God I remember them records too You're probably the only nigga That I played Like I got like seven Pun records And it's like Why would I give it to anybody

Pun did it for me And he's gone I can't call him to ask him If he wants to do it So I got Honestly I got 15 Cutts has five. My old engineer,

Cutts, big up Incredible Cutts, he DJ'd Del Palo. He has five and I have seven myself. But my point is, had Pun not been there, oh my God. Had Pun been cheesy,

you would have been linking the shit up. Oh my God, I would have been like, cheesy would have been like, nigga, I'm going to kill you. See me when you see me. But,

y'all, like, listen, true'm going to kill you. See me when you see me. But, y'all, I know. Listen, listen, True Life, maybe you don't really understand that when Nas and Hov initially squashed their beef, their first record they ever recorded together was fucking for you. And the fucking world don't know that. Let's make some noise for Chulak. I was not only trying to steal his record, I was trying to get on it. I just didn't know

how to talk to him about it. I was just like, oh, shit. And then he was just acting like it was a normal day. He was like, yeah, this is Hov and Nas' record I got.

And he just kept driving. I was like, this is not normal, nigga. Like, how the fuck can you do that? But, and you, so you, would you renew that record with a new verse?

Because I'm, as I remember it, they verses was not dated. Like, they didn't say something like. It was never, be honest with you, shit was never really put together, all the way put together. It was like, you know, this person did something, that person did something, but it was never all the way put together. So I never even got to finish these records. These were records that I was working on for my album, and a lot of things just wasn't finished. And me being, I guess I was a perfectionist at that time, too,

where I was really just trying to come, like, I don't know, I just was trying to really perfect things, and I'm my worst critic sometimes, so I just want things to be just perfect. Right. You know what I mean? But we just trying, we trying to get to it now. We trying to just press release now.

Okay, I'm trying to fill you. I'm trying Like I said, I got some archives I got different You can make a half a million dollars for that record and neither one of them is gonna sue you I'm gonna keep it real. Listen, listen. So you had a record with you. And then not only that, prior to you going to jail, there was a huge rumor that Jeezy was trying to sign you.

Yeah, that was true. That was true, right? Yeah. Because I heard Jeezy was trying to bring you out at Summer Jam. Is that correct? Yeah. And then what happened? We got to Summer Jam late. It was weird, man, because we pulled up at Summer Jam. Is that correct? Yeah. And then what happened? We got to Summer Jam late.

It was weird, man, because we pulled up to Summer Jam late. He kept telling me how we was going to make a movie, and he wanted to make sure Jay was there because we was getting Jay to be involved because I had left Def Jam. Because it was supposed to be us. Jay left Def Jam,

so I was in the middle of doing a new situation because at first I didn't want to rap no more. I had took two years off, and I was just going through my own little things and my mind went right and I ran into different people like Ross and Jeezy

and they kept telling me how my star power was crazy and that I needed to do it. So at the time, you know, me and Jeezy was getting ready to do it. Then we hollered at Jay

and we meet him and Jay was going to do it and we were thinking about doing a tour together. Jeezy was going to put me on his first single instead of him jumping on my record. I was going to jump on his first record and we was going to do it, and we were thinking about doing a tour together. Jeezy was going to put me on his first single. Instead of him jumping on my record, I was going to jump on his first record, and we was going to make a movie.

And we got to Summer Jam late. Jay came out and did DOA, which we wasn't expecting, and they shut the mics off after that. So I wasn't really able to catch that break. A couple days later, you know, everything else is history. It was also a time where Snoop Dogg and Jay were supposed to executive produce this show. Yeah, no. Snoop actually, when my first deal, when I signed with Jay, Snoop was the one who found me first,

brung me out to the Apollo after running the mixtape circuit. Speaking of the Apollo, I got the Apollo shirt on. Shout out to the Apollo. Niggas can't have this shirt because you ain't performed, your family. I can't continue. Yeah, so Snoop Dogg had brung me of the Apollo. I got the Apollo shirt on. Oh, shit. Shout out to the Apollo. Niggas can't have this shirt because you ain't performed, your pal. Niggas. All right, yeah, continue. Yeah, so Snoop Dogg had brung me out to Apollo. We tore down Apollo and had a couple different deals on the table,

and he wanted to sign me. And at that time, I felt like it was important for me to bring, you know, some new flavor to New York. So I wanted to start the New New York movement, and I ended up signing with Jay-Z, and I got Jay to cut Snoop and Check the executive producer of my album so that you know it wasn't no

no type of you know everybody wanted that yeah pretty much that's crazy he just said that shit like it was normal I got Snoop to cut

no I got Jay to cut Snoop and Check this is not no normal shit like you know what I'm saying and then so you had Snoop and Jay-Z and then you had Jeezy

so after that Jeezy was supposed to sign you as well yeah but you had Snoop and Jay-Z, and then you had Jeezy. So after that... And Jeezy was supposed to sign you as well, right? Yeah, but after the Snoop and Jay situation, you know, when Jay was leaving Def Jam, I decided I wanted to leave Def Jam. So, and I was in my own space. I was in a weird space at that time. You know, I've always had my own little demons chasing me down. I'm like my worst enemy sometimes. And I didn't want to rap no more at that time.

I was just dealing with some things. And then I came back, you know, and that's when me and Jeezy and Jay was going to do it, you know. After taking two years off and having that True York mixtape out and killing the streets and touring with Rick Ross with a mixtape out. And then I got locked up. So now I'm back. True Pop. That's my shit. Yo, when you say that shit, it's a certain feeling that comes through my body.

I be like, True like, I believe it. So, all right. You had GZ, Jay-Z. Yeah. You had, this is Elliot Wilson train. You know who Elliot Wilson is?

Yeah. All right. He's trying to sabotage our show. Oh, what? Because we're kicking his ass. He says his train every show. He says his train every show. Which means

you're doing a great interview. Wow. Because if you don're doing a great interview. Wow. Because if you don't do a great interview, this train don't come by. So I see something very interesting from you. You call Future Meathead. Meathead, yeah. That was hard.

That was hard. Because I know you know him because I knew Future. I didn't know him, but I knew him from the Dungeon Family and I remember me being around because Big Boy used to be my homie he still is my homie let me not say it

like a past tense but um I remember seeing him around like I'm talking about back back then how the fuck do you know everybody

like I know everybody me and Bubba Sparks is this some Puerto Rican shit you know that's my nigga Bubba Sparks is this some Puerto Rican shit? That's my nigga, Bubba Sparks. Is this some Puerto Rican shit? This is my nigga.

This is my nigga. This makes it look like you're Puerto Rican. Dominicans, clap! You fucking Dominicans, I see you motherfuckers. You better clap. God damn it, you better clap too. You remember, you know, it was me and you and I used to tell you how me and Bubba was

wild cool and all that. That's crazy. I know Bubba from before Bubba even had his deal pretty much and all that. So, me and Bubba went way back. And then Bubba was like best friends with Rico Way pretty much. That was like one of his right-hand mans. And then, you know, we all became like brothers. So, Rico became like my brother. And I was always like dungeon family, but not signed to them.

You know, but it was like I'm dungeon family too pretty much. Like, you know, so I grew up being in a dungeon running around with them doing records They come to the only boy with the dungeon family So I was fucked with them all true your history is so we actually got records got records too, though. Me and Future. You're a Future from back then? Yeah, from back then. I think I remember some of them. His archive sound was crazy. No, his sound like Future. They in the archives.

I think I even remember you telling me, like, yo, I got a record. But his name wasn't Future. That's a fact. That's one. And I remember you telling me Bubba's Boy or something like that. Yeah. But now this guy is What's crazy is I was actually in the middle

Of telling Jay and them to sign him And I don't know if they remember Because he was me head at that time That was Art's name? Did he just bring the story for us? I actually didn't tell Jay personally But I told me and Juan Me and Juan was talking about it

Yeah, Juan been dropping the ball for years Three months In his defense Me and Juan was talking about it. Yeah, Juan been dropping the ball for years. Three months. Juan, Dr. Juan. I know. In his defense, I never got to play him for him. But I tried and I told him about him. But I never got to bring him up there. I never got to play him for him. That's my nigga OG Juan.

I've been avoiding him since Rock A Lot Familiar. After they fucked up my album, I've been avoiding him. OG Juan, what's up? But I love OG Juan. Let me be clear. I love OG Juan. Let me be clear. I love OG Juan, but I was mad at him for a week. That was it. And I kept it longer than that because I didn't think he was fit to run Rock La Familia.

That's me personally. But let's move on because I love OG Juan. I got nothing but respect for him. And just because you have a problem, that's the thing is we have to grow as him. And just because you have a problem, that's the thing is, we have to grow as people. And when I mean grow as people, what it is is,

if you have a certain situation with a person, it doesn't make that person a bad person. It just makes that situation. You know what I'm saying? And we just move on. So OG Juan, I got nothing but love and respect for you. But you definitely shouldn't have ran.

Like, rock a lot familiar. But, um, That's my OG though. Shout out to OG Juan. That's my OG too. It's a lot of OG. You complimented and then you took it back. I mean, because I really mean that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Rock a lot familiar. That's my OG though. That's my OG too. It's a lot of OG. You complimented and then you took it back.

I mean, because I really mean that. You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, when you're passionate about something, you can't do business with somebody

who's not passionate about what you're passionate about. And I'm not saying he's a bad businessman. I'm not saying Jay is a bad businessman. I got off the phone

with Jay today. First of all, that's why you were late today. Maybe. In my mind. You spoke to him, got drunk as hell. You know what it is? I be sending all the CEOs the numbers.

Because CEOs like numbers. You understand? You understand? They like numbers. So I sent Jay that $1.22 million. You understand? You understand? Nigga asked me two days later at a weird hour.

Like 3.47. It's weird. It's weird. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Nigga asked me two days later at a weird hour, like a 3.47. It's weird. It's weird. You gotta pick, K, you gotta pick three or four. He picked 3.47.

Because Shorty, I'm going to get a bag for it. I was like, I kept thinking of you. I was like, I'm going to get a bag for it. Because if you're in the mirror, you will look stupid. So you got to look in the mirror every night. I feel like I'm looking stupid right now. I'm so good at it. How the fuck you don't have Russell?

Like, what the fuck was you doing? I don't know, man. It's God, man. Like I said, man, all grace is in all power to God, man. Like, I feel like, I don't know. I just got put in a great situation where I had great young talent around me that just gave me that vibe. Nah, it's true. You be humble.

Let's keep it honey. How the hell you don't have him? Like, there's people who come on off beat. Like, God bless Sean. We love him. We love Sean. We gonna go to Belize. That's true. We gonna go to Belize to get Sean. Listen, Elliot Wilson and the niggas shitting on you. They did a phone call

Is you We got a lot more You missed eight years Yeah But yet still You fit in 2016 That is a perfect Thing

To do Yeah I don't understand that Like When you sitting in that cell Man another type of hunger Comes out of you Man you know what I'm saying

So I just Another thing is I always felt like I never There's always been So much drama And so much other stuff around me where it was more about my story and more about the drama and beefing with this one and beefing with that one and this and that that we never really got to what i really do took away from the music be an entertainer which

is to make music you know i'm saying so you know me personally so you know how talented i am yes i do but a lot of the world the world doesn't know. Because they just know me from little mixtape work that, you know, just was little mixtape records. They never really got to hear my album and what I really, really do. You know what I'm saying? So we just trying to get to that. So I just came home and I said, we gonna put all that to the side and we just gonna get to the music

and get to the bag. I'm not gonna lie, one day I met with True. He was in Jersey. This nigga played me his whole album and then he asked me, he said, what you think? But he blew me away. So I was like, I'm gonna get back He was in Jersey. This nigga played me his whole album and then he asked me, he said, what you think? But he blew me away so I was like,

I'm going to get back to you on that. He's the only unsigned nigga with better features than a signed nigga and more, like,

I got to always commend you because, see, you're not shocking me but the thing is, you're shocking the new me. What I mean by that is

I'm a new person, too, as well. I sat around, and these people don't want to hear from me no more, so fuck making music. Fuck y'all motherfuckers. This is me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But I'm going to throw work inside. I like to sell like $5,000, $10,000. It's pretty good. The checks

is pretty good. I'm sorry. But I'm going to throw work inside. I like to sell like $5,000, $10,000. It's pretty good. The checks is pretty good. But I'm not trying to go full-fledged in music because they were tired of hearing me at one point. At one point, people are going to become tired of hearing you. I don't give a fuck who you are, whether you're Nas, Jay. You got to know when to take a break. You got to know when to step aside.. You gotta know when to step aside. You gotta know when to say that the music controls it.

And you gotta go with the music. You never see them guys that be like, that's not hip-hop. Like, shut the fuck up. These guys be like, your new record is so new sounding, but a person just gotta see you to say, that nigga's hip- hop is a motherfucker.

He's doing what the time permits him to do. But if one of them dudes would say, that's not hip, I would smack the shit out of him, headbutt him. Like, I didn't even smack him. I'm not even smacking the nigga. I'm going to headbutt the nigga.

Boom, it's like, oh shit. Oh shit, my head hurt too. I'm sorry. We both lost. We both lost. We both lost in this shit. But this shit is crazy for me to see you be in the top. Because obviously when you, and I'm not trying to bring up prodigy to disrespect him. He didn't answer my text.

I hit the nigga. I was like, hey, you squashed it with true life. You should definitely holler at me. I never even touched you. You know what I'm saying? Why you laughing? I'm saying? Why you have that? I was trying to be funny. Sorry.

So I'm sitting back, and I'm saying, damn, True. And I'm like, you were more in your bag than I was. And what I'm trying to say is, it's about the flows nowadays. Back then, it was about the lyrics. Now, you can say Cheerios, Cheerios, Roserios, Roserios, Roserios. And people will be like, Woo!

But back then you had to say, Snuff Jesus. You had to say, Shit! But nowadays, it's simpler, but it's about the flow. So although it's simpler But it's about the flow So although it's simpler It's actually harder

Yeah For a guy Who was raised in the 90s Like you Like I seen footage of you You was like I'm only playing You know what I'm saying

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.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Yeah, we got a lot of things happening. We got a lot of things happening. We got the best engineer in the world.

We got the best camera people in the world. And we went at it. See, the thing is, we went at it like a... What up? Like a... We hired the best people that was for the job because we didn't want to go places and hire people, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

And get interns that, who's mad at their life. We wanted to hire the real shit. That's for sure. And this is the thing. Like, when you came home, I knew my first thing was to do was to fix my relationship with you because as a brother, I was disappointed in myself. We love you. Nah, nah. I was disappointed in myself. We love you. Nah, nah. Even if you forgive me, I don't forgive myself.

Nah, you good. Nah, because I love you. I have that problem. I said that the other day. Sometimes I ask God to forgive me and I just don't realize that he already has. I just haven't forgiven myself. So that's a, you know, you gotta work with me. I'm still in progress. Every day what I'm saying?

Every day I want to be a better person. And the one thing that I did or that we did correct, like I sat down with my brother Diego. I don't know where Diego is at. He's probably rolling the block. He's drunk. He's fucked up. We're blaming him.

It's his fault, 100%. 100%. That's what happened today. Well, I sat down with Diego and we was talking and it was like the one thing that I did in life that was 100% and I didn't

slack and I didn't do nothing was drink champs. I had the vision. When I say I, I'm talking about EFN too. I'm just speaking. But we had the vision and I look back at it. I look back at it. I look back at it today and I was like,

we didn't slack on that one point because I looked at the podcast. This motherfucker been telling me to do a podcast for two years.

This motherfucker. And the concept for five years. We had Dream Champs for five years. That's the deal. Maybe longer than five years.

All right, stop. It's dope. And I held down the social and the website and all that shit. He had the reps say five years. And I held down the social and the website. What I always tell people, don't dream because you wake up from dreams. Being a visionist, you know, it starts with your visions, man.

The power of God's in the mind, so be a visionary. Just envision yourself where you want to be. So y'all had that vision and y'all kept on. We had that vision and it came to life. And that's what it's all about. I sat in that cell and was envisioning myself doing these records. Was envisioning Mogul Tree. I was

envisioning saying cha-ching and having everybody say it. I like when you say that. I like that. I got fans across the world that I never traveled to. Never had an album out. And I got fans all throughout Europe, Greece. You better have fans in Europe. I was trying to bring never had an album out, and I got fans all throughout Europe, Greece.

You better have fans in Europe. I was trying to bring up the Europe tour before you went there. What I'm saying is they all doing the cha-ching and all that. Cha-ching! Because I was doing it in my head, in my cell. And I remember telling one of my homies that was locked up, I was like, watch, I'm going to make everybody do this shit. And they doing it.

You're a legend, my brother. So it starts with visions, man. Being a visionary, power of God's in the mind. What you just said makes me feel like you don't think you're a legend. Do you think you're a legend? You're a legend, my brother. Just a regular nigga, man.

You want me to break down how you're a legend? Break it down, break it down. Listen, people don't survive what you've been through. And if they do survive what you've been through, they don't come home on beat.

I don't even know why y'all laughing. Like, they don't come home on beat. They don't come home connected. Like, you came home, your first record, you dropped is with Rick Ross.

I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that.

I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, I don't even remember that. I was like, what? I was like, I don't even remember that. What more did I do? He said, everybody was talking about me. Yo, yo, yo, yo. You do eat ass? We having a stab to stab you. Come on, you got to have fun.

You got to have fun with us. I don't know. Might have missed a couple licks. It hit the ground. I don't know. That's a day. Alcohol, yeah. Yo, we had 50 here. 50 went in.

50 went in. We had 50 here. And I swear to God, we didn't even have to ask 50. 50 knew that we always asked everybody, do you eat? He asked. And he just got up. He was like, yo, all of you motherfuckers eat. I was like, relax.

You're making me more uncomfortable. Yo, but listen. As a Puerto Rican, this is the first Puerto Rican we have on the show. 100%. I'm Puerto Rican. I'm proud of you. I'm sorry. I was about to say nigger-rican, but I don't like that term.

It feels like I'm dissing my black side. Gunplay, too. Gunplay's half Puerto Rican. I seen gunplay yesterday. What's the other side? Jamaica? I never knew that. Jamaica, Puerto Rican.

Fabulous is half Dominican. Fabulous, I seen you wear the Capone and Noriega War Report shirt, and we respect that. But what we're going to have to do is we're going to have to ask you Fabulous To start repping your Dominican side Because we got love for you Mr. Fabulous Life Jewel Santana We heard you have Something Forgot so let me leave it at all

Jim Jones Everybody Rapper Noid AZ Oh you half Latinos They wasn't repping in the 90's Rapper Noid. Or AZ. Let's say AZ. AZ. Yeah. Oh, you half Latinos. They wasn't repping in the 90s, man. They wasn't repping. That's the reason why they're sitting back and they're like, I'm saying, not the people that is good,

but the people that is not good are sitting back and saying, why is Nori popping? You know what I'm saying? Now that I don't get money again, suck away a $30 watch. It's facts. It's facts. But they're sitting back. And you know why? It's because I've never denied my Latino side.

Because when hip-hop began, there was a black guy, there was a black guy, and there was a Spanish guy who was breakdancing. No, Ryman too, Charlie Chase. But I'm just saying. I'm sorry. MCs, DJs, all that. So because hip-hop is not a black thing. Hip-hop is a black and Latino thing.

And to me, black and Latino is the same exact thing. But you are first Porter Weekend. You are first Latino. You are first Pororo. Besides Fat Joe. Besides Fat Joe. Which I thrust a half-Cuban part out of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That damn man had a retargetment. He had a retargetment. He had a retargetment. You know what I'm saying? Because he didn't like Fat Julian Mark Bevers and his Cuban side. I was the same time. You're Cuban, man. He's Cuban, B.

You know that? He's Cuban, B. Okay, that's what's up. You know how many Cuban niggas you was locked up with in jail? Not too many, though. Not too many. Did you go to the Mazjid?

Yeah, I went to the Mazjid. You did? That's what's up. Those are dope. That's like a peaceful place in jail. You know, I was always into, back in the days, I'll tell you, I used to the mosque. You did? That's what's up. That's like a peaceful place in jail. You know, I was always into it. Back in the days, I'll tell you, I used to be God-bodied. So I was always intrigued by learning different things about religion and different things.

So I did what I did within all religions because I just don't take nothing for face value. You understand what I'm saying? So what's the next step for True Life right now? Now True Life is home. You done shot a million dollar video. In my mind, it's a million dollars. Don't even dispute me. We're going to spread the rumor.

True Life just shot a million dollar video. Let's make some noise. I'm not going to lie. I was sitting there like, Jesus. I had to hit my man, Mr. Lee. Like, yo, you see this nigga video? He got like 1,200 cars. We had 12. Here my man, Mr. Lee. Like, yo, you see this nigga video? He got like 1,200 cars. We had 12.

Here's 1,200. So what is the plan? Mobile tree, we get that part. Yeah. We get that you're building independency. Yeah. But so what's the plan? Are you ever want to be signed or have distribution

or you just want to just keep it this way? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because independent is hard, my brother. We're going to get it right, the distribution. Like I said, we're in the middle of figuring it out. We're in talks with different people, so we're figuring that out. But right now, I just want to concentrate on making music and having fun with it. Because if you ain't having fun with it, then it don't even make sense to do it.

And owning it, too, is the important part. Right now, I'll be honest with you, I feel like I'm having the most fun I've ever had in my life recording. Because for the first time, I'm putting God first, and I'm putting all the negativity and all the bullshit to the side. So I don't have none of that vibe around me. Like, you know, before we couldn't vibe out and just go to a party and just, you know, and even have a good time. It was, you know, guns on us. And we thinking about, you know, it's just a whole nother vibe that come along when you living that life. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you can't have fun looking over your shoulder. So now, you know, even though I may have beefs or whatever, I don't look over my shoulder no more. I let God do that. So I ain't even tripping on that.

I don't walk in no fear. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen. And, you know, I'm just having fun with the music. So I'm having the most fun I've ever had in my life

in this era right here and doing these records I'm doing now. Let's make some noise for that man having a hit on the show. That's real shit right there. So you squashed

there with Prodigy. What is up any other past beefs you would like to get over? Anybody that, you know, that feels like I got any. Cam Ron.

Well, I ain't got no issues with Cam. I know, but I'm saying if you was to see Cam, would you? It's all love. Cam Ron, we love you. You like to hang got no issues with Cam I know, but I'm saying that If you was to see Cam Would you? It's all love You know Cam Ron, we love you True Life said he ain't got no beef with you

True Life love everybody, man I ain't got no beef with nobody Please get the fuck on here Shout out to Cam Ron Jim Jones I don't care about the bird shit And all that Like, you know

The fans be trying to antagonize me a lot Like, oh, he called you a bird Like, are you serious? But that's how I knew you was a grown man That's how I knew Because Am I supposed to even answer back to that? Because, you know what the crazy shit is?

That's how I knew you was a grown man. Because I know the old true life. And I got to get to know the new true life. Yeah, you already know. I got to get to know the new true life. Yeah. So, when I seen that, I was like, damn. Because, you know, I had just seen Jim recently.

And we actually wanted Jim on here. But I was like, damn. I didn't want that to go that way. But you know how most beefs really happen is through a lot of entourages and a lot of the people you got next to you and a lot of, you know, like. Misunderstanding. You know, miscommunication. But there's a lot of the times there's different people that you have around because, you know, when most people not.

I was there, like I said, but at the time I wasn't as approachable neither. You know what I'm saying? Like my mind was just not really there. Like I wasn't willing to do the type. You know what I mean? Like I don't know. It was just a different vibe. You know what I'm saying?

Tell you a story about your life. Don't die. One day when I first met my wife, who's my wife right now. I first met my wife one time. I said one time. Yo, not to cut you off. A lot of the homies get mad at me though. I know some of them.

Because you know, not everybody feeling how I feel or think how I think. They ain't feeling your positivity. Yo, not to cut you off, but a lot of the homies get mad at me, though, and some of them, because, you know, not everybody feeling how I feel or think how I think. They ain't feeling your positive. No, no, they feel that, but they be like, yo, you got to tell these niggas, though, but it can still happen.

Right. Like, chill, man. Right. You know what I'm saying? Don't forget to say that part, though. Tell them it can still happen, so they know. All right.

Like, relax, man. You know what I'm saying? I like the positive. Me too. But I got to give a story real quick. Get ahead. I ain't going to cut you off. One day when I first met my wife,

like, you know, I still on drive. I still to this day on drive. And True, not driving me around, but one day True just called me and there was a dude that was just beefing with me. Like, he was just, it was like a random dude that's on the block, like, just beefing with me.

True pulled up with the a-k That's how real you are like the people need to know that That you've never even hit me You knew where I was at and you came in and that's just who you are, and I just have to appreciate that. I have to salute that, and I have to always support anything that you're ever doing. And that's 100%. I appreciate it. Even if we

in New Orleans never speak, I would always do that, because you're a person that I want to win. Thank you. There's a lot of people that I don't, it's not that I don't want them to win. That's not the police right That sounded a little crazy But it's not

You're not only a person I want to win I want to help win You know what I'm saying Because you're a genuine guy And we don't have too many people like you left And the thing about it is If we don't represent for you now It might be over't represent for you now,

it might be over. Like, not for you, but I'm saying it'd be over for our kind. Yeah. So I always want to step up. I always want to do it. You said that you're going to be a CEO.

So is Zellis going to be one of your artists? Did I say that right? Zellis, yeah, yeah, yeah. Zellis. Zellis. Zellis is just, I just want to see Zellis win. Whatever I got to do, you know, we'll figure that out. You're going to be the next future of Zellis, right? Velas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Velas. Velas. Velas is just, I just want to see Velas win.

And I'm only bringing this up because we were just talking about this outside. Please. I keep getting catfish wild crazy. I'm talking about wild crazy for like seriously crazy for the last eight years. And I was getting thousands and thousands of mail from different chicks thinking I was going out with them. And I'm like, what the hell is this? And it was just wild crazy. So I just want to tell these people, man,

to be careful out there on the internet. No, be careful out there on the internet with all these fake pages going to all these dating sites and stuff like that. And you seeing pictures of me and I don't care what information, because some of the information they get, I'm like, damn. Oh, so you're saying some people are acting like they do life? No, they really, really like going hard.

Like taking money from women, having phone sex, doing all the catfishing. They using my profile. No, they using my profile to catfish women. They've been doing it for a long time, though, and it's been crazy. So I never said that, and I just want to let all these women know out there, like, don't go on these dating sites and stuff like that. You seeing pictures of me and stuff like that. And let's get this right.

It's the real true life. I guess because they hit me up with sites I don't even know. There's one site called Tag. I was just showing them on my computer, on a gram, how I was going back and forth with this one girl and was explaining to her, and I was telling her the story and stuff. But it was just crazy.

So I'm just trying to tell these chicks, man, it's not me. You're going, you know, be careful on that internet, man. The real true life is my Instagram, man. If you ain't hollering at me on there, then you ain't hollering at me. The real true life is your Instagram? Is it Twitter?

Yeah, Twitter is the real true life, too. Snapchat? Snapchat's the real true life, too. Oh, man. Veles Music on Instagram and Twitter. Spell Veles Music just in case. We got some people. Yeah, V-E-L-O-U-S

music alright that's how I would spell it it's not an I in there nah I'm dyslexic my mind is I we got drunk listeners

yo one chick said she had naked pictures of me I said you got the wrong man I ain't no magic bike in the face ass thing

you got me twisted I don't know why I think 80 gigs is behind that right now I don't know man but you shouted Gigs is behind that, right? Flex. Did you shout it out all year for this shit?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Snapchat, all because I'm king. You know what I'm going to do? Like, not this album. Talk to the mic, my friend. Not this album, but the next album, I'm going to hire a nigga like you. Why not just me? No, I'm hiring you. I like your style.

That's what I would have said. If a nigga would have said something around me like that, but to make me be new. You know what I'm saying? That's what I would have said. If a nigga would have said something around me like that. But to make me be new, you know what I'm saying? Because a lot of times when you've been in the game, I've gone on pretty much 20 years, 19... Yeah, no, that's 20 years. 2017 will be officially 20 years. Dude, first of all hard congratulations, man.

I think it's gonna be bad over here. Yup, that's all. You think it's supposed to be like that, you put the whole world in your hands. You're like, yup, next year, 20, nigga. That's it, you're good today, that's why you know you got a file. But I would have to hire a person, I would have to hire a person.

I would have to hire you just to keep me in pocket, keep me in tune. Because the thing is, I don't want to be the old nigga reminiscing about the days of the old days. I want to have music that reflects this time, but still be me. And a person like you can help me out with that, my brother. You know what I'm saying? True life, man, I can't thank you enough. But we ain't going to let you go because you know why.

There's another question we ask. What's up? We all been hot. We all been fucking. It's raining all shit. From 1997 to 2016.

Me personally, I had 16 up. You know where I'm going. How many abortions you paid for? This is where we lose all advertisers. Advertisers, stop fucking around. Get out of here, get out of here. So tell us, how many abortions you paid for? Nine, nine.

Oh, y'all niggas just music calling them? Stop music calling them! They're responsible motherfuckers, man. Stop music calling them! They're going in raw. They're going in raw. And you gotta get you, you gotta just bust a car like that. You know what's crazy?

These days when you bust, you be like, I didn't mean to do that. That was your fault. I'm a foul nigga, I'm sorry. Yo, True Life, thank you so much for joining us. Thank y'all.

Thank you for laughing because that was the thing about when I seen you in a breakfast club and I seen you on Sway in the morning and I was like,

they don't know how to talk to my man. They don't know how to break it out of my man. They don't know because one thing for sure,

the people don't know about you. You is one of the funniest dudes ever. Like, you was one of the only dudes, the only other rappers that I would rank on,

and he would rank on me right back. Like, he wouldn't wait. He'd be like, what? You didn't even think about she was funny? And he would rank on me right back. And that's what this podcast is. Like, I told Ja Rule, that's my nigga. I love Ja Rule.

I told him, I said, I made you cool again. And he didn't really understand what this podcast is. Like, I told Ja Rule, that's my nigga, I love Ja Rule, but I told him, I said, I made you cool again. And he didn't really understand what I was saying. Because what I meant, because that's my brother, I love Ja Rule. But what I'm saying is, he didn't understand

that his image in the hood after the 50 Cent drama, what it was. And then, when we got down and we sat with him. Nah, that shit was crazy. And we put him in there

with Jadakiss. So many people kept texting us, tweeting us, excuse me. And was saying, yo with Jada Kiss. So many people kept texting us and tweeting us and was saying, yo, you made me realize how cool Ja Rule was again. And I tried to tell Ja Rule that, but we was on the phone, so he couldn't really understand that. But that's what this podcast is. It's about showing the side of people that people don't know. You know what I'm saying?

For the people, by the people. For the people, by the people. For the people, by the people. We had 50 Cent stand here. We had Fat Joe stand here. And all of their reputations preceded them and they actually pinpointed situations where their reputations made it

worse for them. My whole thing with you is to beg you up, not to take away any person you are. Shout out to 50 and Joe, though. But my thing is to show how cool you are, to show how funny you are, because

that, listen, when you buy a dude's album, you buy his album. That doesn't mean you're investing into this artist, but when you watch a dude's interview, you're investing into the artist. And I'm going to give you that, young man, because I know you're a young dude. You're coming up. But people don't buy your records from your records.

They buy your records from your interviews. Because your records, whoever you can be, you can be. Like, Weeknd don't do interviews. So Weeknd is going to continue to do who he is, but if his music ever fall down, the radio station will never accept him again, because

he chose that side. He said, I'm never doing interviews. So he'll go to Toronto, he'll go to such and such, and a big up Weeknd, because that's a fucking ill stance. And we need you on Drink Champs. Do one interview. I'm sorry.

That was like a shameless plug. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, Weeknd. I'm sorry. I need you on Hookup too. But I'm sorry. I'm just lying. I'm a foul nigga too.

This is crazy. But I just want to commend you guys. I want to commend what you're doing because there's not a lot of artists That's a support artist And take it from there And True Life I just want to say welcome home

Thank you I want to say that I'm behind you Not in a pause way But I'm behind you I want to support I really, really want you to win, my brother And I don't give a fuck I really, really want you to win I'm ready, man I'm home I want you to win My brother And I don't give a fuck I really really want you to win

I'm ready man And I want you I'm home I want you to win again I'm ready man I can't win bigger than that man Nah When I wake up and I see

Them kids smiles I can't win bigger than that I'm the type of nigga You just ran through the marathon I'm like do it again I just ran 26 miles I don't care Do another one

Because I want you Because it's like, yo, true. They wanted me dead, my nigga. They threw me in a graveyard. And the problem is, they threw the dirt. They threw me, what's that shit called? The grave? Yeah. They threw me in the grave.

They put the dirt on me. But they forgot to check my pulse. I'm Puerto Rican, nigga. You already know. I'm knowing, I'm knowing. You already know. I'm digging. Talk that shit, man. I'm digging out. What the fuck?

And then the nigga's like, oh shit, he ain't the only dick out of this shit. The nigga's in my dinner table. Uh-huh. We doing it. And that's what

Drink Chance represents. Drink Chance is the culture for the culture. 100%. So anytime, you know what I'm saying, anytime you guys want to come back,

you guys can come back. You can promote your projects. You didn't got to be hot. I got to get off this damn parole so I can get twisted in the box. Yes.

I've been trying to pass. Listen, every other guest, I pass them a blunt and I try to... That's the thing about it. But I'm very careful with you because I want you to stay home. I want you to win. Now, we doing everything right, man. Shout out to my parole officer, too, because I know you're that. That's the thing about it. But I'm very careful with you because I want you to stay home. I want you to win.

Now, we doing everything right, man. Shout out to my parole officer, too, because I know you're watching. Shout out to... That was awkward. Shout out to him. We've never had a shout out to a parole officer. I can't make none of this shit happen without him, yo.

Let's pick him up because, listen, you ain't even supposed to be in another state and he's letting you come through. But you know what the crazy shit is? What I would like to tell you, parole officer, is I used to smoke bad weed. And True would be right in the cypher. He ain't smoke shit. He just be like, I don't fuck with you.

But you used to like the smell back in the day. They was just asking me about that shit early. Somebody asked me. I'm like, I never did none of that shit. I never was into drugs. This is the craziest shit. Like, True. I was telling him how my perception,

how people think, like, oh, this nigga crazy. Like, he be thinking I be doing all types of drugs or something. I'm just chemically imbalanced. I think of you and, yo, I used to be like, like six of us, like, just sitting there smoking. And True would be right in the middle of this shit. And we keep trying to pass True the blood,

and True would be like, I don't fuck with that shit. I'm like, what with that shit I'm bipolar That's the bipolar in this city No you say you won't finish it No I'm gonna finish this drink Oh You want another one Yeah I want another one
