He went independent, and he's still killing it. The guy gets older and younger every year. You old younger. He's older. I'm an old-ass youngster, Mike. And the people has been requesting this man from the beginning of the show. Because when it comes to slang, and when the people try to put me on the same level as him, I always say, that's my OG.

That's my big homie because he got on before me and he made people say his slang before me. So I always like to respect that. It doesn't take nothing away from me. It adds on to me. But that is the slang. Listen, we call it the slanguistics. Did you just make that up right now?

Sometimes. I don't even know. But the slanguistics, when it comes to the slang, at some point in your life, you said something that this man said from you smell me to I don't even want to keep going. We'd be here for 17 days. But right now, introducing to the people, we have the one, the only, the legend. That's right. The man who rolled with the Bay Area on his back for upteen years. E-40 is in the building.

All right, for those that don't know, we had a studio on 32nd and Madison, between 32nd and 31st and Madison. And that's the richest neighborhood in Manhattan. But we never cleaned up because we just wanted to keep it hood. We wanted to feel like we was in the Bronx. Yeah, that shit was dirty. So 40 Water came to the studio and you wrote your rhyme on your stomach. You laid down.

On a dirty ass rug. I said, yo, damn. I said, yo, Slav, I can't let this happen. We don't clean. I said, I told you our maid was fired for nine years. And you still say, is that how you really craft your rhymes? Most of the time I do. Get the fuck out of here.

Most of the time I do. When a motherfucking neck gets hurt and shit, then I get in my little recline chair and just, you know, kick my feet up and get to that thing. Wow. Yeah, especially back then. I was always on the floor right. Yeah.

It's a peace of mind for me to lay on my belly and right. Get the fuck out of here. So where did that develop from? Man, I don't know. Just being just drunk all the time. Oh, my God. You get back. Just being just drunk all the time. Oh, my God. You get on the floor anyway. You lay on the floor.

You cup right there and just get down. Oh, by the way, let me keep it real. That night in Vegas, I never threw up that much in my life. Let's make some noise for A-40. A-40 is killing me. You destroyed me. And now I wanted a rematch, right? I wanted a rematch.

He said, man, because he was already cool with Pac. You know what I'm saying? And he was like, Rich. I mean, he said, 40, man. Pac want me to give you his number. He want to fuck with you, man. He gave me his number, and we connected. Ever since then, it was all love.

Right. Yes, sir. So y'all connected and then, like, how many records y'all did together? Let's see.

I got an unreleased track that we working on right now. God damn it. God damn it. And then we did... Are you still talking to him? I'm fucking with you.

Oh, you still... Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what you're saying. I'm like, damn, this motherfucker's good. But he did say, we working on now. I'm like with you. Oh, you stupid. I was like, I was like, damn, this motherfucker's good. When he did say, we working on now, I'm like,

this is... I was talking about what's, you know... Because people still think he alive. Studio tone. Yeah, yeah. People's really...

Yo, nigga, I wish he was alive, man, but I don't think he'd sit up here and stand for this sucker shit that's going on in the industry right now. Let's make some noise for that. Mr. Lee, where's the salsa water?

Where's the salsa water at? Where's the salsa water? You don't need that shit if you drink this beer. Oh, that's, that, all right. You drink this beer, you don't need that. He got carbonated seal, too, all that shit in it, man. Come on, 41. So, y'all recorded Mad Records together.

And we asked Uncle Luke this. I think we asked Snoop this. Yeah. But what was the part that you enjoyed more? The Pac? And Luke had an interesting take on Pac. The blunt rolling, Hennessy drinking Pac. But on death row or prior death row?

Both. He was the same with me at any time. You know what I'm saying? Okay. You know what I'm saying? It was all love, man. If he fuck with you, he fuck with you. If he don't fuck with you, he'll call you out.

He'll say your name and everything. Oh, my God. He'll get fucked. Right. That's what he specializes in. He say, fuck that. I'm saying names. Ain't none of that sneak distance shit.

You feel me? So I had to give it to him on that. But he had a reason for all the shit he was saying. He wasn't crazy. He wasn't crazy. Nah, he was going through a lot of shit. Brilliant. So what's your favorite Tupac memory?

You tell me. Oh, man. Your favorite time being around Tupac was going through a lot of shit. Brilliant. So what's your favorite Tupac memory? You tell me. Oh, man. Your favorite time being around Pac. I got a few of them, but I know y'all probably seen it on YouTube in 1993. Go ahead. We had my practice looking hard video shoot. Mm-hmm. And he entered through the whole video like this. You know, he had that middle finger attitude.

That's classic Pac shit, too. Fuck you. But the thing is that he showed motherfuckers how to... This one, Blunts, wasn't really... Y'all had been fucking with Blunts. In New York, you said. You know, because my partner from New Jersey, when I was at Grand State University, night to fall, 86, 87,

this motherfucker take a Philly Blunt, and the way he did it, it was a full Blunt, and he'd gut it. He'd just blunt and the way he did it, it was a full blunt, you know what I'm saying, and he'd gut it. He'd just take all the shit out of it and then stuff it with some boo-boo weed,

right? Because that's all we had at ground, some boo-boo weed, right? So he'd stuff that motherfucker and tie the end up like that, you know what I mean, wet it up.

And that's how they did it back then. That's the first time I ever seen a blunt roll. Right. So Pac, you know what I'm saying, he on my video shoot and he he sitting on the little bench.

I'm over there smoking a Beatty. I don't know if y'all know what a Beatty is. Yeah, Beatty. As soon as you said Beatty, as soon as you said Beatty, it's the headache. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the headache, Beatty. He smoked a lot of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Back in the day. It was a fact. Those was cool. I'm over there smoking a Beatty. He over there rolling. They got the camera on him. He over there showing them how to roll a blunt and shit. And he got his fingernails in.

He tearing the paper apart. You know what I'm saying? He say, smoke black for black. I don't want to see y'all smoking that white shit. You smoke black for black. That's how you roll a blunt. Go look at the footage.

Y'all can pull it up. Tupac rolling a blunt. E40 video. You feel me? It was just classic shit. You know, that's one of many. But that was my nigga, man. I wish he was alive, bro.

Trust me. It'll be some turnt around shit around here. Let's make some goddamn noise. Yeah, man. I wish he was alive, bro. Trust me. It'll be some turnt around shit around here. Let's make some Magalhaes Moist. Yeah, I got that. That's the piece. Tell your seminar, Pac. So, you also have a Biggie Smalls.

Because there's a famous rumor that you and Biggie had problems. That's not a rumor. That's real, right? Tell us the story. I didn't have problems with him like that. They said something like that. Let's just watch it. Everybody know that story. I don't even want to read it that. They said something like that. Everybody know that story.

I don't even want to bring it up. No, no, no. Let me tell you what it is. Yeah, okay. What happened? It's like every time I talk about it, it seemed like they, you know, Biggie had a lot of motherfuckers that loved him too. Right. Big fans, you know what I mean?

Right. Nigga was a great rapper. Right. All right, so it's like every time we talk about it, it's like I'm telling people to bring it up. No, no, I'm bringing it up. Twitter, Instagram, they're getting me like, man, why you gotta bring that up? He ain't even here. I don't never bring it up. I ain't never brought, my

nigga, I ain't never brought it up to nobody ever in life, period. Not even a nigga that's on YouTube talking about this shit. They brought that shit. I ain't even said nothing. I don't talk like that. It's all a hush mouth with me on shit, you feel me? I ain't no bragging ass nigga, none of that shit. But I don't know personally,

so I would like to ask you. And God bless you, too. We just want to know. I wish he was alive, too, brother. I think hip-hop would be more alive, too. Let's make some noise.

Let's make some noise. I think hip-hop would be riding right now. Hell yeah. I think so. But what happened, though? Like, he came to the Bay. He was in Sacramento.

I didn't even know. You got him out there, right? Like, y'all brought him out? No, no, no. It was some people I knew, but I didn't know. I didn't even know You got him out there right And like y'all brought him out No no no It was some people I knew But I didn't know I didn't even know The motherfuckers had him out there

Cause they didn't promote it Right or some shit But they was They hit me at 11 o'clock Something like that At night They was like Man I got to

First of all The way I didn't have nothing Against him man I know Pac had issues Cause Pac really knew him I didn't know him like that

But he had gotten So it was after the Pac shit The shit that had happened At Quad Studios No this is what Ray was for. This was... Shit, this was... What year was this, man?

I don't know. I forgot, man. But anyway, you can do your due diligence. This is all in the net and shit. Yeah, yep. Anyway, so the thing is is that...

What'd he do? Oh, it was a magazine. It was a magazine, a Canadian magazine dude that did interviews in and they said they got him drunk just like you motherfuckers.

They said they got him hella drunk. Damn, we fucking up. They got him hella drunk and started asking him on a scale from one to ten,

from, you know, from one to ten, who do you, you know, who you rate this? Like he said, Spice Ones,

Ice Cube, like everybody in the industry that was somebody. Right. And he got to my name and he's all, man, he's big boo-boo,

he's whack, man. He got, give him a zero. Oh, wow. You know what I'm talking about? Mind you, I was wearing Kangols in high school.

I'm almost 49 years old. You feel me? So I've been wearing Kangols, you know what I'm saying? All that shit just so happened that the dude had the kind of same kind of swag I had. Like, you know, Coogee shirts, sweaters was in, Versace.

You know, that was the shit when you were Tycoon and you fucking with it. You know what I'm saying? He was on the East Coast. I'm on the West Coast. So I don't know if that's what had him saying the nigga is zero, but my style is unorthodox. So the motherfuckers that can't catch it, they'll catch it later because I say a lot of shit that,

it ain't just slang, just the shit I say. So it's kind of ahead of its time. Then they like, oh man, because there's fans that I got right now that's diehards that didn't understand me. They say, man, when I was younger, I just thought you was whack,

but as I started listening more and more and living the life, and going through this, that, and the third, I'm like, my nigga, you the best ever, my nigga. Right. You feel me? Exactly. To make a long story short, man, so, dude, everybody had got wind of the shit, you know what I'm talking about. And that's as far as him dissing me in that magazine.

So my little dudes, they was all hot and shit, too. So they just so happened to sneak up to Sacramento. You know what I'm talking about? They had, I guess, a dude, they threw the show. He was out there. They called me at 11,

something at night. Farty, what you want me to do with this nigga? Woo, wopty, woo. And I told him, I put the nigga on the phone. You feel me? Like that.

So I put him on the phone and whatnot and we chopped it up and he was like, man, Farty, you know, man, look, man, I was drunk, man, but I fuck with you, Duke. You know what I'm saying?

I fuck with Fody. Y'all heard the story before and all that. Nah, I forget. I'm so glad nothing happened to him. You know what I mean? I didn't want that on my watch. So you wasn't even there physically. I wouldn't, even if I would have seen it, I wouldn't have tried to knock him down.

You feel me? Right, right, right. It wasn't nothing. And I seen him later on. We chopped it up. Matter of fact, I was supposed to be on his last album. Wow. Life After Death. Wow. Yeah, I seen him later on. We chopped it up. Matter of fact, I was supposed to be on his last album. Wow. Life After Death.

This is where it's at. What do you prefer, liquor or hip-hop? Both, because they both pay me. I'm independent. Right. That's my next question's at, bro. How about the action? This is where it's at. What do you prefer, liquor or hip-hop? Both, because they both pay me. I'm independent. Right. That's my next question. Yeah, yeah. My deal was 83-17, so 83% of the bread comes to me.

Is it the alcohol deal or is it the music deal? This is music. Okay, okay. Oh, I get paid on the alcohol real heavy, but I'm just saying, music, you can still get paid when you're independent. See, it's backwards. We got to slow it down for our listeners. No, no, no, no. They might be drinking.

Tell them what, we got to slow it down. Did you just say you get paid $83.17? $83. I never even heard that cut. $83.17. It's an odd-ass deal. I didn't even know that existed. It's a precedent distribution deal.

You know what I'm talking about? You make your own product, and then you give it to them. They press it up. And they press it up. They press it up, and I make it, and I deliver it to them. That's what that means.

Like a P&D. All the features you ever had. That's what a president distribution is. P&D. Y'alls is out there. P&D means president distribution.

Let's make some noise for niggas breaking the deal. We trying to teach y'all, man. Drink and learn. So, it's been a known rumor that the Bay Area was the first, like, independent companies. That's where Master P came to get this shit started. How did y'all develop that mind frame of just...

First of all, I want to shout out Master P because, you know, the boy stay in Bel Air and shit. I seen some shit of him. He walking through the neighborhoods. He come straight from where we at. You know what I mean? He come from Well you know Richmond

Richmond California Right there He's You know He from New Orleans Right But I think his mama Or his daddy

Stayed in Richmond I think it was his mama Yeah He had a few Record shops And whatnot However he did But the boy

You know what I'm saying He always was solid with me. Right. And he was always, he stayed focused, you know. Salsa water? And he got a lot of his game from my uncle St. Charles just as well as I did. And we all learned together, you know what I'm saying, him and the JT, the bigger figures of the world and stuff like that.

We all come up under the same little umbrella and whatnot. Pete went out there and got that South, man. He went to the sticks where it was untapped territory, man, and got them boys. There was so many talented people out there and got them to get on that down South Hustlers. You know what I'm talking about? He did that bout it, bout it, and the ice cream, man.

And he blew, man. The man did his thing, so you can't knock a man's hustle. So I want to shout him out for that. You know what I'm saying? But was the independent thing in the Bay Area? He got that from the Bay Area. He definitely got it from the Bay Area. I don't think he had

any problem saying he did. But he also, you understand, he was an innovator in it too as well because he took it to bigger heights. God got levels where he blesses you. So you just got to know when you're blessed. Some people he might have, you know, two, three hundred million. Some people might be

five hundred thousand. Some thirty thousand might be rich to a hood guy. You just never know. So you just got to just keep moving, man, and don't hate. You know what I'm saying? Never hate, man, because it'll come back on you. You feel me? But how did the Bay Area actually develop

being independent? Because all of y'all was independent in the Bay Area. We didn't have no choice. That's what I'm saying. Y'all was the underdogs of Cali. Why? Because all the record labels was in New York? New York, yeah. And then New York only wanted to invest in LA.

It's like NYC and upstate New York. That's how I felt about the Bay. The Bay felt like they was the underdogs of LA. We had to go in there and work for ours. Make them motherfuckers feel us, man. Right. You feel me? We really had to go in there.

We did the real independent grit. And this was when we had a small, we had One Stop. So One Stop was a small distributor. Hold on. Big up my nigga One Stop. Yeah. I know you out here selling drugs somewhere. Oh, that's the person?

That's my nigga. He sells a lot of drugs. You're talking about somebody else. Yeah, you're talking about the person. We're talking about the system. I'm talking about the distribution company. He sells a lot of drugs. You're talking about somebody else. Yeah, you're talking about the person. We're talking about the system. I'm talking about the distribution company. He's my nigga. He's my nigga.

He sold me a lot of ecstasy in my ecstasy days. I don't take ecstasy no more. But at one point, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm taking a lot of ecstasy. Did you? At one stop. At one stop.

Sometimes I still look for ecstasy. I ain't never popped a pill. You know what I'm talking about? Take a molly? Nah, man. You gotta take a molly one time. Weeding alcohol, man. I'm good.

Just to make sure it's wrong. Weeding alcohol. You can't take a molly in a slur can. It'd be fucked up. Hey, let everybody do what they want to do. Weeding alcohol is all I need. I'm going to be honest. But look, let's get back on the subject, man.

Yeah, go for it. One stop. Let me explain that one stop so they won't think I'm talking about the drug deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my nigga. It's two different subjects. One stop. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. One stop. Change your name, nigga. The one stop we dealt with was Music People. Okay? Also, we had, which was defunct right now, but now they also have City Hall Records. Shout out to Walter. And that's like a one stop distributor, too. So they was our main hub.

So we would send out packages, one sheets and whatnot. And one sheet is just so happen. I said one stop in one sheet. So one sheet is with all the information on it. You know what that is, right? Of course. It got the artwork and the barcode and everything. So you send them out with the cassette or the CD at the time and you send it out to all the mom and pop stores because mom and pop stores was big back then. That was the heart of it. Yeah, that was the heart of the industry.

That was the heart of the soil. you feel me? So you send them out to all over the place. I'm talking about to Nebraska, Atlanta, Oklahoma, Kansas City, everywhere, you feel me? Right. And you put the music

in that motherfucker and we used to give them five tapes. Here, take these and just sell them. Y'all can have the money and just let us know when you want to order.

Man, them motherfuckers all ordered right as soon as they flew. And they ordered from the one-stop, from our one-stop. So that was our main hub. And that's how the whole shit started, you know what I'm saying, cooking. My uncle, St. Charles, had a book this big of distributors. This was before computers was, you know what I'm talking about?

Before the internet and shit. So he just made his own manual book. Doing decimal shit. Yeah, he did his due diligence and got all the mom and pop stores, all the distributors, everything. So you had that prior to Jive? Yeah, this was before Jive. This was when Jive came out to me.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They came out to us. They came very wise. Ant Banks came to me because he was two shows already on Jive. This nigga's name

which is a lot. Selling on your own? Each project on my own. Niggas can't sell $150,000 right now. With a small distributor or one-stop. $150,000 stream.

You was doing that in the beginning? I was doing that at the beginning with no label. God damn it. So when we did our deal with Jive,

I was paid on $200,000 with a press and a distribution deal. So that's the first one.

Yeah, yeah. It was about a young nigga in the hood. Young youngsters making bread in the hood, like wanting to be a tycoon like Donald Trump. Right. You know what I'm saying? And so I didn't even know, since I heard him talk,

I'm like, I always liked him all the way up until just recently. I'm like, dude said a whole bunch of racist shit. I'm like, what's all this shit about? You know what I mean? I didn't even know that. Dividing the country like a motherfucker. Yeah, my brother was telling me about it.

Man, it's a real estate tycoon. His name is Donald Trump. Soividing the country like a motherfucker. Yeah, my brother was telling me about it. Man, he said, real estate tycoon, his name is Donald Trump. So I made a song called Trump Change. It was called Trump Change. It was on the gold album right now, Element of Surprise, double album. And the song was called Trump Change. And on that song, I mentioned, I even said it.

It was like, instead of, you know, a motherfucker say Trump Change, instead of Trump Change, I was like, Trump Change. You feel what I'm saying? So on the thing, the first one of the things I said, hey, look, check out y'all over there partying. One of the things I said was

I said, Trump change? At the beginning I said Trump change? Yeah. Donald Trump change. I'm bigging him up and everything. You feel me? I didn't know, dude. To me, I don't know if it's really him. I don't know what the fuck, but it seems like he's the right guy right now. It's WWF shit, what he's doing right now, man.

Yeah, it's like he said a lot. I think mainly he's got a temper problem or something. He might push that button, that thing, to make us go to war right away. He'd be tripping, bro. Dude would be tripping. I'm sorry, man. Are those gazelles? Nah.

What is these right here? No, these are Cartier buffs. This is Detroit shit right here. This is Detroit shit right here. That's at least $1,500. Yeah, I fuck with Detroit real heavy. This is what they fuck with. That's at least $1,500, correct?

Let's make some noise for him. He got glasses more than niggas' chains. God damn it. All right, everybody, we're wrapping it up. E-40, I can't thank you enough. We want you to take that glass that you're drinking with you. Yes, sir. I like this glass.

Yes, yes. And the shot glass. And I got a shirt for you. I got a shirt for you as well. Classic glass. Classic glass. Please. 40 for president.

40 for president. Yo, listen. Not me. I don't want to be in there with this shit. All right. Before we leave, can you run for mayor, though? Uh-huh. Shout out to our mayor, Malayo.

Donald, listen, listen. Because, listen, let's just keep it real donald trump turned politics into a smack dvd so in order for us to make kanye west president because that's what i'm doing i'm trying to make kanye west president because i'm retarded and this is my retargetment my retargetment is retarded argument okay so my retargetment is a retarded argument. Okay? So my retargetment is I want to make Kanye West president in 20-whatever this is. But in order for us to do that, we need David Banner to be mayor of Mississippi. We need Bun B to be mayor of... I think David Banner, I got to tell y'all something about David Banner.

He's one of the most solidest dudes that I ever met. He's one of the realest Out of the seven I was talking about He one of them motherfuckers My dog And I want to say this I didn't even Is he really

Is he really running for mayor No I wasn't Cause he should He said Dave Bennis Run for mayor If he did I would definitely You understand me

Be behind him Who the Mississippi For two days My daddy from Mississippi You know what I'm saying God damn it My daddy Earl Stevens

He from Mississippi God damn it You feel what I'm saying So I love Dave B My daddy, Earl Stevens, he from Mississippi. God damn it. You feel what I'm saying? So I love Dave Banner, man. So were you born for Mayor or the yay area? Me personally, I don't know if that's my position.

That's hard. I don't know if that's my position. You got to get up there. One thing I do, one thing I do is I rock with my community. That's what I do. Let me tell you why

you're the perfect candidate. Because you've been with your wife for 20 years. Yeah. That alone makes you perfect. These niggas can't be with... I look at what they do to Obama and I feel like he's a great president.

And that's the problem with politics. When he first came into the game, the shit was fucked up. 9-11, all that shit was already there. He stuck his shit in some shit, his fingers in some shit that he just can't wipe off. He came in and it was already bad. He stuck his shit in some shit, his fingers in some shit that he just can't wipe off. Like, he came in and it was already bad. It was already.

But here's my point. He was already high tides. If E-40 is the mayor of the area, then we're going to put Game and Snoop going to run California, Los Angeles. I'm from an area called Vallejo. Vallejo. So let's shout out to Vallejo. I'm going to run for mayor. I'm from a small city. That ain't the Bay Area.

No, no, no. But listen, once you take over Vallejo, you're going to make Mr. Fab, too short, take over. Let's just let the soundbite come through. I'm from Vallejo. We got the same waters as the Bay Area.

We're Vallejo, so we're the Bay Area, but what I'm saying is that's not the whole Bay Area. So I can't be the mayor of the whole Bay Area if I was to ever try to do it. You can be the mayor of the whole Bay Area. Well, they call me the ambassador of the Bay. We gonna make Trick Daddy run for Miami Mayor.

So this is what we gonna do. They call me the ambassador. In my opinion, E-40, I want hip-hop to take over politics. So in order for us to put Kanye West in office, what we need to do is have everybody take care. I'm running for mayor of left rack, and they don't even have a mayor. I'm just taking over. Because I got to do political, what's that called?

Political? Politician shit. So we need you to run for the, you went too short, and then we're going to have the loonies as your cabinet partners. Cabinet partners. And we're going to change politics. We change hip-hop, we change life. And listen, and you know why it's going to work for you?

Because you've been a respectful dude for over 20 years. You're still out here. The youth respect you. The older niggas respect you. And everybody in between respect you. So I'm just asking you as a friend, I need you to get into politics so we can make Kanye West for prayer. Because I want to get free Yeezys. Or back somebody that you respect.

And then I want every school in America. I will definitely back somebody that you respect. And then I want every school in America. I will definitely back somebody that I respect. MC Hammer. You know what I'm talking about? MC Hammer. I think he'll make a great mayor. Hammer would be great. Hammer would be great.

Let's elect MC Hammer. MC Hammer, nigga. I'll be seeing you on the yacht. MC Hammer, don't hurt him. And he ain't wearing Speedos no more. That's my nigga. Hey, let me tell you something. That mayor shit being a mayor, shout out to my mayor in Vallejo.

You know what I'm saying? You got his phone number? Yeah, I call him right now. Yeah, man. We don't need that. So I'm just saying, you know, it's a lot more to this shit. So me personally, I just want to play my position. But hip hop, we got to take over politics.

Keep it real. If we take over politics, listen. I mean, look, check it out. Donald Trump made it so we can play. Yeah, but he made it a circus. Yeah,

I like the circus. When you see all the motherfuckers show up there and shit, they come for the circus. Oh. You know what I'm talking about? There ain't no real politicians that care about the people.

They come for this. They want to see the shit. They want to see, they want to laugh, they want to have, they want to, you know, they want to see. They want to laugh. They want to have. I believe in unity. My whole thing is unity over separation.

You know what I'm talking about? I grew up with all walks of life in my neighborhood. In the hillside, Cambodian, Guamanian, Filipino, blacks, my Usus, man. You know what I'm saying?
