Let's make some noise for Beat It motherfucking Guns.
So, let's get straight to it, man.
Y'all had that great, one of the greatest records of New York City history.
Yeah.
It was for the Bronx.
Rap shit probably went on.
Let's tell you where you from.
Uptown, baby.
Uptown, baby.
Tell them, talk about it.
Ah, man, you know, in the Bronx, we was going through it.
Everybody else, you know, Queens was on fire
Brooklyn was on fire. So I
Bronx you know, I had a saying
Whenever we went to the tunnel and shit like that, you know, everybody like Brooklyn
Please so I thought this change it wasn't for the Bronx,
rap shit probably never would be going on.
And all I hear you say, uptown nigga.
Uptown nigga.
And that was the start of the hook.
But you know, we did the record,
and the misperception is that we got sued.
We got stuck up.
They wanted 120,000 cash.
It was all the publishing.
That was everything.
That was everything.
All the publishing.
That was everything. So it was bittersweet. It got us out there, That was everything. All the publishing? That was everything.
So it's bittersweet.
It got us out there, but you know, when you hear that shit on TV, I don't see none of
that.
Who would've got that shit?
They used to want it that way.
The people that said food was good.
Oh, word.
Yeah.
Like a rock.
Yeah, that was it.
That's what that was about.
You used to write for all the...
Hold on, hold on.
You wrote sex...
Hold on, hold on.
I wanted to ask you about something.
Uptown. So, me growing up, Uptown was like Harlem to me, I thought.
So Uptown is really the Bronx?
Well, it depends on who you talk to.
You talk to somebody in the Bronx,
we don't call it Uptown.
You talk to somebody from Harlem, you know.
We always felt like it was further Uptown.
What, is that what, past what?
What street?
Nah, man, I'm from 174th, born and raised.
Oh, that's Super Uptown, yeah.
That's actually a little too early.
Really?
So what's that?
Read it for me.
Read it south, bro.
Okay, 157th.
Oh, so that's where I'm from.
174th, that's where I'm from.
You can go first.
Yeah, so that's where I'm from, man.
That's what it was about.
Earned me the cover.
We got the cover of Sauce.

Lots of therapy long to their nori. Listen, I fell in love with a woman from Queens
Only people who in love have dogs, you know
If you don't have a dog, I don't do you know in love. No, by the way, speaking of which, my dog was disrespected on your show. Oh! I did have a big dog at one point.
No, no, no, not-
Yeah, well you took- you, but then Jason Lee came on here and said,
Fuck his dog.
Oh yeah, Jason Lee just shitted in your dog.
That was the only thing that offended me.
He said all kinds of shit, but the only thing that got me was when he said,
Yo, fuck his dog, I was like, my god.
He said your dog ain't cute.
No, see now he's lying. Now, so he made some points. I was like my god it's a dog see now he's lying

What you said?
You know what I'm saying.
That was a brother's sight for sounds.
What you think about the Rock the Bells after, you know,
coming back after COVID and everything's been shut down
and, you know, we starting back up
and trying to bring the old school hip hop back.
This lane's been wide open.
Like, honestly, this year at summer jam i was like
really telling ebro and others i was like we don't have enough old school acts on the lineup and i'm
not saying that even on some respect for hip-hop i'm saying it on some people like seeing acts they
know because the acts that you hear on the radio right now you don't have a connection to their one
song you gotta the dip sets the loxes the Loxes, the Norys,
to me those are summer jam staples that should always be there.
So there's a lane here for Rock the Bells.
You gotta think of Rock the Bells like a DJ set, right?
The old school artists don't have to do an hour set.
You do 15, 20, 30 minutes, you throw all your hits in there,
do a couple of features, it's gonna rock.
Everybody knows these songs when you play them in the club, so why wouldn't it work
on stage?
Let's also get to the point.
Y'all got beef with Joe Button.
Nor is it a stage now, the show's so poppin' that he doesn't even have to like ease his
way into the shit.
He just come all out with it.
I didn't even know that.
Honestly, honestly, honestly, God, the last week,
there was a lot of noise about that,
because we said to the, listen, Joe's my guy.
Can Joe be a dick, and do I sometimes occasionally
talk shit about him, or feel-
I've never seen Cypher Sound mad.
Cypher Sound's whipped back.
He's a butler.
You're mad at me.
Cypher's mad at me for dragging into shit again.
I'm mad at this shit.
Love it.
Love. I can't get fucked up yet.
I gotta go on stage.
We gonna take a shot or no?
Take that bottle, give it to him.
No shots, man.
No bottle.
Ice juice. Yeah, yeah. Once again, if y'all don't know, we got Ice Cube in the building.
Make some noise.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I could be the intern on Friday. Man, if I could get it off.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm trying to get it out of Warner Brothers.
They don't believe in the culture, man.
You know what I'm saying?
They don't believe in it. So they own the rights to Friday, you said?
Well, they have the right to distribute the movie.
You know what I'm saying?
So when we did the first one, they wrote in if we do this first one.
We got the right to put out the sequels.
All of them?
All of them, yeah.
Damn, man.
Everybody telling me, man, call it Thursday, call it Saturday.
But once I take the characters' names, it becomes a property in front.
You know what I'm saying?
So you can't use Smokey?
I can't be dating Craig.
So it's useless.
Damn, man. U's useless. Wow.
So they just need to come off that shit, man.
I'm walking up, holy shit.
I think the new generation needs to get some of this new Friday, you know what I'm saying?
I agree. I was ready to give it to him. I had two scripts. I wrote one.
It was the shit.
It was like, yo, we don't want Craig and Daddy in jail.
Because Craig and Daddy went to jail for selling weed.
You know what I'm saying?
Before it was legal.
And, uh.
Yeah.
Drop the bell.
What's up?
What's up?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah. So, I was like, yo yo man, what's your name? It's like shit is funny
And it was like nah, nah
Then after they rejected it they you know, they they had all these fucking movies about going to jail, you know
Orange is the new black. Yeah go to jail get hard. I was like Nancy y'all fucking me up
So now I wrote another script
and the other script was really about
you know, I'm talking about the Friday
scripts. My other script was
about the youngsters
in the hood having
beef with the OGs in the hood
and Craig has to come back
and squash that because Smokey
Son is the new Deebo and he's
wildin'. But he's a little skinny motherfucker that'll shoot you.
You know what I'm saying?
I love this script. Where this script at?
They tripped on it, man.
They fucked around and then John Witherspoon passed.
Then Deebo passed.
You know what I'm saying?
Just like a lot of the characters.
And then Ezell passed. so a lot of characters we're gonna
go back to the hood they just fucked it up
one thing about it is it's an unbelievable unbelievable franchise
unbelievable definitely needs to continue before we move on is it gonna
be called last Friday the last one I Is it going to be called Last Friday?
The Last Friday?
I mean, it was going to be called Last Friday.
And Chris Tucker, did he commit?
Not to me.
Not to you?
He told DC Youngfly something, but Chris is slippery.
He's slippery, you know what I mean?
I've seen Chris and Justin's, and I don't know if anybody knows what New York restaurant is.
Justin's is an old school restaurant.
So I seen them and that was one of the things that I asked him.
I said, are you going to do the last Friday?
And he said to me, yes.
That's what he said to everybody.
Except you. Except me.
He didn't want to catch anymore.
That was a long time ago. I don't know. I'm like, I'm like. He didn't want to curse anymore, yeah. That was a long time ago, you know.
I don't know what's the reason now.
But, you know, me and Chris is cool.
You know, you hit me up all the time.
Q, what you doing?
What's up?
What's up?
You know, but, you know, doing that movie, I don't know what the deal is.
Right.
Well, that's crazy.
Classic.
Classic.
Let me just tell you something.
This was a classic concert.
Thank you, man.
What's going on? Oh, oh, Arnie's in the building.
Arnie, Arnie, relax, I got you.
I'm on you, Arnie.
Listen, El, I can't believe how professional, put together this is.
What made you, because we had Arnie on earlier.
Arnie said something
that was very important they said that the rock the bells concert was an
initially started without you and you went in and said nah this is my shit
I made the way rock can you explain that well that part of it is I actually had
to go and go to court take the IP back and um you know I took the IP back and for people that don't know what IP is
intellectual property yeah yeah so shit you do you own it until you sell it or somebody steal it
yeah so I went got it back and then it was like I feel like hip-hop is not disposable
you know I'm saying in hip-hop um it these the same way that Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger get celebrated,
I feel like Ice Cube and Nori and all these acts out here, Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe and
Remy Ma and Lil' Kim deserve to be celebrated.
And like Cube said earlier, we got to own something.
And I believe, like, I also wanted to make sure that certain artists that made a huge
contribution to the culture
So that's why Grandmaster Kaz has a piece DJ Herc has a piece of the company
running
Saying all of these artists have a piece of the company Roxy and Chante Big Daddy King have a piece of the company. Running DMC has a piece. I seen Chuck Schiller. You know what I'm saying?
All of these artists have a piece of the company.
Roxanne, Shante, Big Daddy King have a piece of the company because I want us to have something.
So one day when I sell a piece, I'll be able to write them a check and they'll be able to have some fruits from all the labor that they put into this culture.
And that's what I believe, man. Look, we understand greasy brown paper bags.
We all understand that.
But I feel like hip-hop needs to be served on a silver platter.
We need that too.
Definitely.
So that was the thought.
That's the thought process.
Let's make some noise for that.
I've been listening to all your interviews.
You've been promoting and you've been doing the right thing.
You know what I'm saying?
And we do need
to be on a hip-hop does need to be on another level because like these old school you know
country artists and all that we come out and sell out the state why we can't do that with hip-hop
right I gotta stop y'all for one minute this old lady from the hood just now before I left to come
over here she said if you don't give me a picture with
ll don't come back around we're gonna get you a picture so you can come back around
let me ask you something one of the most underrated movies of all times which is one
of my most favorite movies was filmed here excuse me filmed in Miami. All about the Benjamins.
Are we doing the All About the Benjamins 2?
See?
Because I could be Day Day.
I could be Mike Epps.
Because he charge too much.
I know, man.
Mike might have to fight you for that part.
You know what I'm saying?
I think I might just get...
Arm wrestle or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Just put me in there somewhere.
Because I could do it.
I do it for free.
I don't get pumped.
Once again, another Warner Brothers fuck up.
Always the same people.
Yeah, same people.
You know, New Line put out... You know, it's New Line Cinema. Right Once again, another Warner Brothers fuck up. Always the same people. Yeah, same people.

Yeah, we got a new line.
You made Atlanta hot by doing Players Club.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Players Club was shit.
Because remember, in New York,
in New York, we didn't go to strip clubs.
We thought that was corny going to strip clubs, throwing the move.
And then we seen Players Club.
We thought it was corny, brother.
At that time.
At that time.
And for the other niggas we found.
We thought it was corny.
But then you went to Atlanta and you discovered that.
Yeah, you know, I went to Atlanta on a trip one time, and I was like, yo, this shit is movie worthy.
You know, I'm looking around, I'm like, yo.
But I actually shot it in L.A.
I shot the movie in L.A.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I shot it in L.A.
So, L.A. for Atlanta.
I was today years old when I found that out.
So, they have a few coming out?
Yeah, yeah, I've got a few coming out.

Yeah, yeah, I got a few coming out. Let's talk about it. But they, you know, they shut me down because I didn't take the jab and I wouldn't, you know.
Oh, you ain't take the vaccine?

Well, I don't see any reason to leave Queens out of the mix
What but moving forward we'll see where else we may do it. Well, there's no reason to leave it

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Rinella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.
And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve
into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience
the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple
Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And it's going to take us to heal us. It's Mental Health Awareness Month. And on a recent episode
of Just Heal with Dr. J, the incomparable Taraji P. Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered
peace on her journey. So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting to our childhood in some sort.
You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little girl inside of me die.
I go outside and run outside with the dogs.
I still play like a kid.
I laugh.
You know, I love jokes.
I love funny.
I love laughing.
I laugh at myself.
I don't take myself too seriously.
That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard.
To hear this and more things on the journey of healing,
you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
AT&T, connecting changes everything.
Hello, hello, Malcolm Gladwell here.
On this season of Revisionist History,
we're going where no podcast has ever gone before.
In combination with my three-year-old,
we defend the show that everyone else hates.
I'm talking, of course, about Paw Patrol.
There's some things that really piss me off
when it comes to Paw Patrol.
It's pretty simple. It sucks.
My son watches Paw Patrol. I hate it.
Everyone hates it, except for me.
Plus, we investigate everything from why American sirens
are so unbearably loud,
to the impact of face blindness on social connection,
to the secret behind Thomas' on social connection, to the secret
behind Thomas's English muffins, perfect nooks and crannies. And also, we go after Joe Rogan.
Are you ready, Joe? I'm coming for you. You won't want to miss it. Listen to Revisionist History on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests
trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious.
Somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors
and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy,
a trial of the century,
and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone
and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
You can now binge all 10 episodes of Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
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 call this taser the revolution.

Wait, y'all got beef with Joe Bud.
Right, your favorite.
Not y'all, not y'all, not y'all.
Only you?
No beef with Joe Bud.
Joe is my guy. You know me for a long time. I'm a sensitive guy. Not y'all, not y'all, not y'all. Only you? No beef with Joe, bud.
Joe is my guy.
And you know me for a long time.
I'm a sensitive guy.
I have my moments, I get my feelings.
Yes.
So y'all a group.
Yeah, we are a group, we are a group.
And we're not, we'll be on the same side.
If I beef, we all beef.
No, we're not riding with you.
So every once in a while, I'll say something.
I'm really honest to God,
though,
in this particular case,
I know you may not believe me,
I was actually not trying.
I was saying,
damn,
we shouldn't be 50 spots
behind Joe Budden
because we should,
I feel with what we've done,
we fucked up.
We shouldn't be that far back.
That goes for you, too.
I think we're up there
with the real best podcast.
I don't want to be
in fucking 50th place.
So that was really just a thing about us and wanted to motivate us.
I understood why it came off as hate.
I fully accept that.
Joe's my brother.
We talked this week.
You was hating a little bit.
I was hating.
No, no, there was hate sprinkled in.
There was some salt and vinegar.
There was a little bit.
But, no, Joe and I talked.
Bro, Joe and I, I've known Joe before any rapper I ever met in the game ever.
I've known Joe Budden.
You tried to play him on, right?
I did.
I did.
I mean, listen, he would have made it and been great anyway.
You didn't have to be that smart to know that Joe was going to pop off.
Right.
But, yeah, the podcast started in a meeting at my apartment, me, him, and Marissa Mendez,
and we decided to do the podcast.
Was your dog there?
Bear was there.
Okay.
So Bear should get a piece, too.
You know, Joe's rich now.
Yo, I just had dinner with Joe.
I got to go to the bar with somebody to sit.
Yo, Buck, you're going to relax.
Buck, you're going to relax.
But you know what? Let's let Un get in.
Get Un. Get Un a seat, my nigga. Get Un a seat.
You want to get in?

Biggie got the
Hold on
Biggie got one of the
Most foulest lines
In history
He said
Me and my nigga Lance
Took
Took him and C's advance
You need to explain this
Cause Biggie didn't want to
What did he say after that I What did he say after that?
I don't know.
It was something foul.
You and I are going to stay the whole time.
What did he say?
What did he say?
He and I are going to stay the whole time.
They came in vans, bought two bricks, ten bricks, ten choppers.
I don't know.
What the fuck he bought?
He bought some shit.
What is it?

Fucking people throwing them off a bridge
What did he say come on me and my nigga Lance took Kim and C's events what two bricks what did he say?
Me and my What did he say? I'm looking. That's the only part I remember. He bought two brick grids. You're asking the high people.
Me and my landlord Lance took Kim and C's advance, bought ten bricks, four pounds of weed plants from Branson.
Now we lampin' 12 room mansion.
He took that man's.
I'ma be honest, you my nigga, to that lyric, it describes a foul day.
Did y'all take it? You my nigga, but to that lyric describes a foul day
The job takes season Kim advance I bought me plans, okay
Okay
Maybe was really clever. Okay. So when he said the line, me and my nigga Lance. Lance.
To Tennessee's advance.
Advance.
He was talking about me and his portion of the advance.
Oh.
Oh, they're gorgeous.
Wow.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Cream is the production company, right?
Yup.
You know how you and Cam say y'all got school back there when we were schoolin' y'all?
Oh, you goin' there?
Okay, I'm in.
No, no, no, we're not goin' there.
We're gonna get you to have this conversation.
We're gonna have this conversation.
Okay, okay.
But the line is,
when my class took Tennessee's advance and did all of this crazy shit,
we did do all of that. We put 10 pounds and coke and all kinds of ramping and all of that.
But it was our portion of the advance.
Kim got her portion of the advance.
C's got his portion of the advance.
And ask him about my per diem.
You also took his portion of the advance.
No, why are you looking like you don't believe him?
That makes sense.
No, I love it.
That makes sense.
I need to hear this.
I never asked him off a camera.
I'm doing a television series called Fulton Street.
Fulton Street.
Fulton Street.
Right.
It's going to tell the whole entire story from beginning to end.
Right.
Right?
And you're going to find out all of these subliminal bars.
Right.
I'm going to answer them in a television series.
Because a lot of people don't know, you were like Biggie's accountant at one point.
I was absolutely in charge of the money.
In charge of the money.
Yes.
How did you and Biggie meet?
How we going to say that?
So, was you older or? I a boy is over the favorite moment with me
One of them what about to me what is what are your favorite my favorite
Okay
One day see the story is that I thought Daddio was better than Biggie.
Explain who Daddio was.
That's a silence.
Was he out of Brooklyn?
Yeah, he had the gumbo. He's nice.
He is nice.
So how could you compare him to Biggie? At that time?
At that time?
At that time?
Biggie was a kid on Full Street hustling, beating on the ball, Hennessy's and Nino.
It was block rapping, balls battling.
Right.
It was, Daddy-O was seasoned.
He was a musician by that time.
Making songs. He was making songs
He was the generation before
Big Hit
So to compare
You know he asked me a question
You think Dario is better than me
Yes I do
So I saw a point of me telling him
Challenging him
What the fuck is this
I don't understand this crap you know
like i said i don't i'm looking at is it profitable right right and so at some point in his career
um we did all of the records we got successful and i said you ain't really that nice. And he said, I said, if you're that nice,
rap the alphabet to me.
And he said, all bitches can die even fucking.
He said, I'm already up to F.
What came to your mind?
Even fucking.

What came to your mind when he said that?
That you're the nicest nigga on the planet. Oh That's crazy. That's hard. He was a special guy. Very, very special. He was nice.

The only thing that you don't have here is Casamigos.

I love how he's not answering this question. And I'm calling now Drake, the queen of space.
There you go.
Space is yours today.
Got some cold ace over here.
We don't have no cold ace, but we want to talk some hot ace.
We want to talk a cold ace, but we're talking about a hot ace. You want to talk about a hot ace?
Yeah.
It's already open.
So the question is...
We answered the question.
To be continued.
Got you, Mark.
Nori, you're going on.
Nori became a real journalist.
You stay on it.
You want to go on the gossip column, this is it.
He's paid six. He's paid six. We're to go for gossip columnist? He's dead. He's page six.
He's page six.
Yeah, page six.
We're going to ask that in Miami.
Page six.
Okay.
Because you know what, Un?
We miss you in this game.
We need more Black is X.
We need more Un's Dame Dash's, the Urban Goddy's, the Darren's.
We need more of this.
You know what I mean?
And especially you going into the movie world,
we even needed that.
We even needed to, you know what I mean?
So how's that been, transitioning to the movie world?
I mean, it's been special.
You know what I mean?
We were allowed to tell stories that we love to tell, right?
And I kind of say that, you know,
I hope to bridge the gap between music video directors
in the film world.
And you did the cookout, right?
Yeah, I directed the cookout.
I like the cookout.
I directed the perfect holiday.
Nice.
So, you know, I mean, the transition has been that.
So now I took a real good look at the landscape, see what everybody's doing in terms
of content. I? And he's
fighting for us.
Right? And
if he says
cancel your subscription until his shows
come back up, do that.
Right? Because
the content is for us.
They come in like hip-hop
and they say, hey, this is mainstream
and you don't know what you're talking about, 50.
So a lot of things, when they start to get rid of the old guard,
young guys, you got to fight because you're next.
You're next.
Yeah.
Right?
There's no, you don't have no security.
Like if they fire Flex, Peter Rosenberg, you're next.
You're next.
Right?
It's a history.
Right?
And we've all seen it.
We've all, you know, hot and cold, re-invention.
Right?
You know, you've done a wonderful job.
I remember when you were a child.
And Cypher Sounds is now a comedian.
And I'm proud of him.
You know what I'm saying? I'm proud of him.
I'm going to tell you something about T.I.
He doesn't answer the phone.
I'm going to tell you about T.I.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
T.I. being a comedian.
Right.
He got booed in New York.
I believe so.
But one thing that he did
was he held his composure.
He did not run.
He did not
put his head down.
And every comedian knows
that is the challenge.
If he can stand up to that.
And he redeemed himself.
Because I waited. I said,
how is he going to recover and he did it
he played his record the crowd went crazy and he said i wish i would you selfish mother
because they thought they was going to get a rap concert fast right and and he's redeemed himself. They laughed, that was his ending. So it's tough.
How about you?
Transitional.
Yeah, I love it.
You love it?
Yeah, I love it, dude.
You know, because I was funny on the radio,
so I just found, people kept saying funny, funny, funny,
so I found a way to make it the main thing.
You know what I'm saying?
There's a hard transition, though.
It's not the same as hip hop.
Cypher, Cypher, that show on A&E coming out too.
Am I allowed to say that?
Sure.
Hip hop treasures coming this winter,
hosted by Cypher Sounds.
Hip hop treasures?
What that mean?
That means that he's going to take a diamond
test to all those diamonds.
Oh, I'm in.

And he went and jumped over the gate.

Shout out to X, Wendy, X and them.
X got on the phone.

Carlito said,

No.
No.
It was all changed.
It was worse.
It was worse than he said.
No.
He said it was the worst.
All I could do

You got a license now.
Yes.
Did you put the name Yalla on it?
No, I'm putting the Yalla back though.
You know when I open up my Maybach and they got the sign?
No, no, no.
I want you to put on your license.
Yalla back? Yalla on the license. Yalla on, no. I want you to put on your license. Yalla back?
Yalla got the license.
Yalla on my license?
I want you to put the Yalla on your license.
I get pulled over by white people, bub.
That's all we do.
They got to respect you.
Yalla came from the dirt.
And the Yalla's still rising.
Yes, yes, yes.
Wait, you got a license?
You got a license, bub?
I got two licenses.
Two licenses.
Yeah.
Let me tell you something.
Noreen, you know this is a lie, right?
This guy, he tried to get me arrested.
The first time I ever went on tour with a little kid, we drove to Virginia in a van.
Remember the 15 passenger vans?
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
I moved to the crew.
This is the first show I ever did.
I'm in the way back. We're driving on the Bronx. This is the first show I ever did. I'm in the way back.
We're driving on the Bronx, Major Deegan driving down south.
The cops come behind us.
He goes, Syph, get up here.
So he tried to make me climb across the whole van and get in the driver's seat.
I said, what?
Get up here.
So I'm trying to climb over the front.
The cop just passed us.
He goes, I'll not forget it.
It's not us.
Yo, my first, I never even met them.
This is the first day I've met them.
They're trying to get me in jail.
Hey, welcome to hip hop.
Yalla.
Welcome to hip hop.
I'm a buck.
I was on the road with Buck, with C's, Junior Mafia,
on Always Take Care of Me. Buck Always Take Care of Me. And we got on our podcast, you Buck, with C's, Junior Mafia, Arn always took care of me, Buck always took care of me,
and we got on our podcast, we always joke,
like, yo, I used to DJ for Lil' Kim.
That was my first job, I always say that was my first job,
Nori was my first rap friend, and that was my first family.
So I'm telling y'all right now, thank y'all.
I dropped out of college for a while.
Shout out to Circus.
Shout out to C-Lot. Let me ask you something, because Cam'ron says, I dropped out of college for Salvin' the Circus. Salvin' the Circus. That's all. Salvin' the Circus.
Let me ask you something.
Because Cameron says that his first album was mainly your album.
How do you feel like that when you hear him say that?
I mean...
It was a great album.
Listen, this is my perspective of it, right?
Every artist has a collaborator.
Whether it was Biggie and Puff, right?
Whether it was Jermaine and all of the collabs he did with his artists. Chris Cross, yeah.
Right?
Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones.
Right.
You know, I know Cam tells a story about,
you know, I was hard on him in the beginning, right?
You know, and he was like, you know,
maybe they was big and just passed.
But by no means did I think Big Cam was big, right?
Cam was, I didn't see...
That's how you kind of describe him.
No, I didn't see what Big saw in Cam.
Wow.
Right?
Wow.
Because, okay, like I told you the story.
So why did you keep that going?
Because the word is that Big was signing Cam, Big passed away, and you honored Big's wishes.
Absolutely.
So why did you do that if you didn't see what Big saw?
Because it was his legacy, right?
This was his plan with me.
His plan with me was more Kim, more Mafia, Kim, the Commission album.
J and M-A.
No, J and- Charlie.
J and I?
Uncle Paulie.
Uncle Paulie.
Uncle Paulie in the Commission.
He's Uncle Pauly.
Uncle Pauly.
He's Uncle Pauly.
For God's sake.
Right, and Diddy, and you'll see through the history of the music,
when I tell the series, right, you'll see that Big was really strategic
in how he marketed his artists right right before the world
when you even seen what the junior mafia was big tag on records to the point he had everybody tagging
on junior mafia of tagging junior mafia so. So at the time of his passing,
the records that were coming leading up to his passing
was the commission, right?
And the commission, you asked for the commission name, right?
And then the commission of the quality.
And it was really strategic.
Mafia touch.
So that was his
moving forward.
And Cam was a part
of that legacy.
Of what his plan was moving
forward.
Which is a beautiful legacy.
Right. You know what I'm saying?
You'll see Jim Jones
and Jewels and all of these guys as a part of his tree.
But actually, that's actually Biggie's tree.
Biggie's tree.
On and low.
On and low.
And I'm going to include Jigga into that tree.
But why would you include Jigga?
I mean, you know, you'll hear the story.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, the full version of the story is that Biggie was here.
Right. And Jay was, you know, they were Nas, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Pac.
It was all battling for the number one spot at that time.
Right?
If you wanna be honest, right?
Get him a chair, get him a chair.
General.
General.
General, give me a chair, Lee.
I only got the biggest ones in my life, man.
Well, get to you.
But the story is is that, you know,
it was Biggie and Nas in park.
Biggie and Nas what?
Biggie, Nas, and Park.
Oh, you're saying for that position.
You see how you gave the class that you came out in?
The generals in the building.
What's going on, D-Type?
How you doing, brother?
How you doing?
That's right.
This is the love of my life.
You already know. Rough Riders baby.
You already know my brother.
Bro, you already know I stay in the cut.
You work.
You stay in the cut.
You work.
So, continuing the story.
Yes please.
Right?
The story is that...
And I'm a rap purist.
Right?
Don't...
It's nothing personal in any of my conversation.
I came up with you guys.
I've seen you guys in addition.
But I do know that I was a part of everyone's launch here.
Down to the general.
We shared some interests in DMX and Cam on Pull It.
Right?
That's right.
That's right.
Right?
Before everybody knew, made it mainstream, we all helped each other back then.
Right?
We supported each other.
Yo, we grinding together.
Right?
We was all battling.
But there's a class that you all came out in.
Right.
And here's the difference, right?
Jay-Z, Tupac, Nas, and B. B.
Came out in the same class that year.
Jay-Z, Tupac, Nas, and B.
B.
Right? Jay-Z, Tupac, Nas, and Biggie. Biggie. Right?
Jay-Z got left back.
In that class?
In that class.
Oh, wow.
And he graduated with Norrie, DMX, John Woo.
That's an ill analogy.
That's an ill analogy. That's when he graduated. Well put. Well put.
We got left back.
Are we going to explain the rest of that?
Yeah.
On the full version of Jake Trent.
You're going to stop stopping him, bro.
That's just my analogy.
Hip hop.
That's the full movie.
No, that was well put, bro.
I never looked at it that way.
It's a perspective.
That's well put.
I got a DMX story.
I got a DMX story.
No, no, no.
That's a...
I got a DMX story.
I got a DMX story.
I got a DMX story.
I got a DMX story. I got a DMX story. I got a DMX story. I got a DMX story. I never looked at it that way. It's a perspective. That's well put.
I got a DMX story to collect.
No, no, no. I never looked at it that way.
Right? Cause there's context. Everything's here but it's out of context.
Nice.
Right? So that's what we want to do. We want to be able to connect the dots.
And say, okay let's put the story back into context.
The stuff that's omitted.
Right?
And just, like I said, it's not even challenging.
Challenge me on it.
Right?
I'm just going from the primalogical order of artists and, you know what I'm saying?
But, you know, one of the things, one of the things, because we have so many, I respect
and love everyone here, but I just want to ask you this.
We see so many biggie documentaries, we see so many biggie, and Un is not there.
Right.
What the fuck is going on?
Why is it, why are they inviting you to these places?
Is there a reason that you're not present?
You don't want to be present?
No, most of it is this, right? Ignore me,'t want to be present Most of it is this Ignore me
We want to tell you
You can skip over
If you want to
But if you want to be honest
You're going to do
What you just did here
You're going to say
This guy was responsible he controlled mom he helped
neil levine break me right right but or you could do it the hollywood way that the people who don't
want on around anymore just because whatever the reason gotcha right whatever the history
whatever the whitewashing is right right? The truth, right?
They can say, well, it's not important.
Let's go right to the...
You know what's crazy?
Chris Whitey.
You know what's crazy?
Let's start their career there.
Right.
And it's up to you to say, nah.
Let's be honest, right?
Yeah. mind let's be honest yeah right yeah because because i was what i was getting ready to say
is that if if cam didn't tell that biggie story about you taking over the cam told that story i
didn't know that what story you told me when cam said that un picked up biggie's legacy and
it kept i didn't know no documentary told that cam said that So if he didn't say that, I would never know that.
So you're right.
You know, one of my biggest, and like I said, I'm going to tell an honest story.
But one of the things that I look at artists and I say, don't omit the truth.
Right?
Don't omit the truth. Right? Soit the truth right so don't skip over oh
yeah Biggie signed me unsigned me and then I went to Rockefeller and I blew up
right I'm gonna tell you you gave him an option on a day drink synopsis right it's it's an option you have each
other's day to my quick time a slide I said I know a thing
well you took that person I respect take it personal options you have the option to have a drink? Right.
That's true. That is a fact.
That is a fact.
Drink.
Fun.
Full version.
I can't get it off you.
I can't get it off you.
You don't have an option.
Now D, I gotta ask you.
Very true.
D, where's the mic?
You got the mic?
Right here.
Alright D, I gotta ask you because us losing DMX
was probably the worst thing in hip hop.
Where were you when people called you for that?
Because we all know X is always,
like I sent myself preachers to X hospital.
Every time X, like I would,
and I'm not even religious like that.
So when they
initially told me that X was
in the hospital, I didn't really...
How did you take it?
When you heard it?
I mean, I was home
because his manager, the board manager,
was always keeping me in touch with X.
Pat?
My dad, Craig.
Craig was always calling. So I always call every informed with X. Pat? My guy, Craig. Craig was always calling me.
So I always call every day on X.
Right.
Like, just out of nowhere, like, what are you doing?
Is it good?
So I don't speak to him.
I just speak to the people around me.
Yeah.
So I would be informed with everything that's going on.
So by the time he went, I knew the time for him.
He went from his house till he went to the hospital
because he called me right away.
So I already knew that he went to the hospital So I was on point the same day
I probably was on point in an hour
So I was on deck, I knew he was over there
Shot to the hospital
He was unconscious, he was sitting there
He was in a coma
It was a give or take at that moment.
We don't know if he was coming in or coming out.
Right.
He took his toll and he wasn't able to come out of it.
Right.
He'd been in the hospital a couple of times, but he always was able to pull through.
Yeah.
This town, it just ain't pulled through.
So I knew what happened within an hour.
I was already over there.
So in the beginning, did you think that he was going to pull through?
Of course.
Yeah, me too.
I always think that he was going to pull through
because he pulled through.
Yeah.
You know, so...
But him, it's...
That's just a part of what they're saying
at the beginning.
I promise.
That's what's going through it the whole time,
but you just know how to make it look good for him
and make it work.
You know what I'm saying? So we believed in him. So me believing in him, the whole time, but you just know how to make it look good for him and make it work, you
know what I'm saying?
So we believed in him.
So me believing in him is like me believing in myself.
And shit, I ain't going to be able to do that.
So whether he want to do it or not, I have to push him to make sure he did it.
And that's just us believing in him like he believed in himself even more.
So that's all it was.
And we have somebody that I believe in.
And we're his family, he's like our brother, so you know.
It is, no matter what he was doing or going through,
couldn't nobody really go at him crazy like they want
cause they know it's gonna be a problem.
He ain't gonna be the problem, nigga, we don't have to handle it.
Cause he's family, it's like if you my brother,
don't care what you go through,
if we get it too far, we got to fix it.
So my job for X was always fixing.
Keeping it where niggas don't escalate and get too crazy.
If there's a problem, no disrespect.
And we always try to fix it.
If him and John are getting a problem, or whoever, I try to fix it.
I don't got to go to Irving.
I know who to go to.
Let me talk to you.
I know who's doing the real doing.
You got to skip over the bullshit.
Let's get back to it.
So, I'm going to go to Who Who.
Man, I'm sorry we took 350.
That's how you do it.
All right.
Let's make some noise for that.
Yo, we was outside that hospital every day, weren't we?
Yeah, yeah.
Every day.
We was outside every day.
Oh, excellent. Oh, really? We was out. It was all of us out there every day were you? We was outside every day. Oh excellent.
We was out, all of us out there every day. Wow. Thousands. I've only got good stories when it
come to X. You know a lot of people think what they want but from the first day I ever met him,
genuine. But I'll tell you a story. I always talk about this story
because it just make me smile when it comes to X.
You know, we all know X had a little crazy.
One day, I don't know if you remember, we was going to the studio to rehearse for the Cam DMX Pull It record.
We was walking across the street, eating Chinese food.

And then he kept walking with the, like the ground was just, he was just a genuine, but
real dude.
He was like your buck.
Everybody good?
Now we're going up.
Two weeks before he passed we was in harlem

The American West with Dan Flores
is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores,
and brought to you by
Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into
some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests
such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams, and bestselling author and meat eater founder,
Stephen Rinella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.
And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West
and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. And it's going to take us to heal us.
It's Mental Health Awareness Month, and on a recent episode of Just Heal with Dr. J,
the incomparable Taraji P. Henson stopped by to discuss how she's discovered
peace on her journey. So what I'm hearing you saying is healing is a part of us also reconnecting
to our childhood in some sort. You said I look how youthful I look because I never let that little
girl inside of me die. I go outside and run outside with the dogs. I still play like a kid.
I laugh. You know, I love jokes. I love funny. I love laughing. I laugh at myself. I don't take
myself too seriously. That's the stuff that keeps you young and stops you from being so hard.
To hear this and more things on the journey of healing, you can listen to Just Heal with Dr. J
from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm coming for you. You won't want to miss it. Joe Rogan. and wild-haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious.
Somebody violated the FBI,
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them,
Do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the goddamnedest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone, and my thought was,

Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Let me tell you,
I wouldn't trade them stories for nothing, man.
There's just so many.
And back then, I got to give uncredit.
Back then, the labels were so political that if you wanted to get a song cleared,
they were going to like, oh, they didn't clear this, so we not clear.
You remember those days?
People like you, you used to always be like, yo, you need that?
Yeah, I need that.
I'm going to be honest.
I'm sorry to cut you off.
Go ahead, now go ahead.
I'll be honest, like we need, we need entertainment.
We needed it then and we need it now.
Because it was really, it was, and I, you know,
I didn't know what you were doing back then for me.
Like I didn't know, and you were like, yo,
like you were looking at me like, yo,
you're fucking platinum on a 12 people record label.
Like they got lucky with you, Norby.

We got Mase, the back ten.
Mase got the pen.
The song was...
So now, you may look at it now like that was just a one hit...
Back then, the shit was on fire.
No, that was not a one hit one.
So we were getting verses.
That was a five hit one right there.
Verses was contract with Mase.
Huge.
The biggest it could be.
So we had...

This is what I got?
No, this is what I got.
They got two mean one records.
No, but this is what I said.
No, hold on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I said they should do a one hit one to versus.
Everybody got offended by that because they like guns.
I ain't no fucking one-hit wonder.
I own my shit, nigga.
I'm owning my shit.
It was a hell of a hit.
Also, the reason why they can't make that happen
because niggas start naming other records.
We in my hole.
It's not the record.
That's A-L and Al Scratch.
No, I'm saying.
We can do a wonder versus, I'm saying. We can do one of the brothers.

Every artist that I say, yo let's get Swiss on the game.
We all go at each other one at a time.

No, no.
Me and Joe Button.
Pump it up, uptown.
I'll take the drink.
Keep it real.
Who win it?
Him against Joe Button.
It's all right.
I'm not offended by nothing.
I get more excited to hear uptown, baby. But that's also because remember Pump It Up's tough because you know I'm a rap nerd.
So I was always like this is Scenario Remix to me. So like I love Pump It Up, it's a great record. He killed it.
He killed it. But this was a different sort of that. This crossed over in a different way too.
That record was remote.
Pump It Up is a big hip hop record.
Uptown Baby was a big one.
As a DJ, I was there when both those records came out.
Deja Vu was definitely more of a big, big, mainstream hit.
Because Pump It Up rocked the clubs. was definitely more of a big, big mainstream hit.
Well, pump it up.
Rock the club, J.

He's talking about the Mobb Deep SOBs.
When I unknowingly invited Saigon to show up to a Mobb Deep show.
Saigon! Saigon!
Did not go as I planned.
Did not go as I planned.
You pay very well.
Bro, I mean, this is why we gotta wait till we do the full drink chips.
The full version of the drink chips.
The full version.
Yo, hurry! Don't jack my...
I'm promoting.
My chat.
I don't know if it comes from Revolt or you
or Dream Chats directly, but I need my chat.
So,
D, D.
When they announced that
Dipset...
Now y'all stay in here.
For two more minutes.
So when they announced that Dipset is going against the Locks,
did you think that Locks was going to win?
Because there's a lot of people in New York that doubted the Locks.
You want to ask my opinion of that?
All right, mine.
You want to go first?
No.
That's right here.
That's kind of like asking...
Hey, the mic.
The mic.
That's kind of like asking Russia and Ukraine.
I mean, it's not...
It's not even a joke.
It's not even.
There's some more people involved.
The locks is...
You thought it wasn't...
It's not even?
It's not even.
It's not even.
It's not even.
It's not even.
It's not even.
It's not even.
It's not even.
It's not even. It's not even. It's not even. It's not even. It's not even. You gotta get some more people involved. The locks is...
You thought it wasn't even? You thought the locks was automatically gonna win?
I know because I raised them. I know exactly what you're talking about.
100%.
That was a legitimate question.
I had Cam in them too. Cam in them is family.
Of course.
I'm from Harlem. I know all of them and I know all of them in them too. Cam in them is family. Of course.
I'm from Harlem.
I know all of them and I know all of them in RIO.
I just knew if it came to the
solo kiss
and put a kiss out there,
I know what it's going to be about.
Let me ask you.
Solo kiss and solo cam?
But, but, but, but, solo kiss and solo cam? But, but, but, but, D, solo kiss and solo cam?
Go Nori on that bus.
Nori on that bus.
You picking solo kiss?
I'm asking.
I'll do that.
I'm doing solo kiss right now.
I'm going to put solo kiss back in.
This kiss is Chris.
You know what I'm saying?
Cam is hot, too.
You got to know, I got all these buildings.
They all good for you.
Chris was always special.
We gotta figure out who we put Nori against,
cause you always gaslight these fucking verses.
Nah, I ain't doing nothing.
Nah, Nori.
I'm staying neutral.
Okay, I need to ask you a question.
You heard that Dipset is going against LO get locked where is your money at if I called you that
day and I said me and you I got 20 on the locks or dip set where were you back on
if dip set listens to me excuse me if dip set listens to me
they would have beat the locks. I'm taking Dipset
You say you taking Dipset if they listen to you. If they had to listen to me. So you saying they picked the wrong records?
Wrong order, wrong order, wrong order
To not involve with that. Wrong DJ?
No, no, I don't know, it was just wrong. It doesn't matter. Like Dee said, they're all seasoned for that battle. They come from that. J, X, B, all of it. They all come from hip hop. It's the battle is the battle, bro. It, regardless to whatever, the problem,
what everybody sees, what the problems that Cam and them had
is that they had bigger records.
Did he go to rehearsal?
And the Lox do it in sync, over and over repetitively they were to smoke anybody under that
concept condition right and I'm gonna tell you why
what advantage right because their records was huge in New York. You're in New York in the Mecca. And you want to play out-of-town Dipset records.
Yeah.
Records that were huge in Ohio and across the country.
But you're in the Mecca of hip-hop.
That's why I kissed Roy.
Oh, you said kiss.
No, hold on.
But no, I got to say this nigga done gave me the kiss by itself.
This is crazy.
No, but the thing is, it wasn't...
Respectfully, I love you, Un.
You know I love you, man.
But the thing is, it became more than the records.
It was more than...
That's what I'm saying.
They went back to hip-hop.
They went back to 125th Street in the hall.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's how they killed them, right?
But they from Yarkas, and you're talking about
the Yarkas niggas went to 100th Street. No, I'm the way that's how they killed them right but they can y'all cousin each on the y'all cuz niggas went to one hands
Yeah, I'm just saying that
The battle happened in Harlem
Yeah closer, you know I'm saying like it was even easily to access everybody in all right
You know I'm saying like they all think
Come from the same school of
getting that ring.
Jay had to hump his ass all the way
from Brooklyn to go get some
of that. You know what I'm saying?
If you want to be the guy, you have
to compete. That's what
hip-hop is, bro. So,
yes, Kiss and them
took what... He didn't kill them with songs he killed them with
bars rehearsing like you said but they're brothers though they're brothers you know what i'm saying Don't listen, listen. He came to battle.
That's the distance. You want to go the distance? Can you go to the ninth inning?
I, one of my suggestions would have been, in hindsight, I would have started with Poe.
I would have gave DMX his tribute, right?
The crowd would have been lit, right?
It would have been, this is their pulse, right?
This is X's pulse.
I'm getting ready to battle, and I'm paying homage to their leader.
I would have sent this home.
Because Locks for a song.
We could have literally get Paulette dropped on my floor. Locks for a song, it wasn have literally get Pullet, dropped the mic, and pulled it.
Locks first song, it wasn't it.
It's fucking.
If they would have started with Pullet, they would have already jump-started it.
He could have dropped the mic and left.
No, it's true.
He could have dropped the mic after Pullet.
But it's that freestyle with DMX.
With DMX.
It's that real record.
It's just not on the record. It's a real record.
It's just not on the album.
It was huge.
In New York.
In New York too.
In New York.
In New York too.
That joint.
All of everybody in that joint.
The only record that took that down was NRE.
You know how niggas do started song.
You know how niggas do started song.
You can't lip sync in New York.
I can't hear you, sir.
You can't lip sync in New York.
No, chill.
They weren't lip syncing, sir.

I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm They weren't lip syncing sir.
Don't call them lip syncing.
I'm just starting.
They weren't lip syncing. They didn't go to rehearsal.
They didn't go to rehearsal. They didn't know
what happened when a certain record was being played.
They just went with it.
When I got the third record, I was rolling my lips at that first record.
I said, I know this dude.
Jada, even Styles P.
When you can go on there and do that Larry White freestyle and stuff like that.
And the clarity of your vocal coming
across the people if you're a hip-hop person you want that that's what what
makes Jay Z stand out clarity of his vocal Jadakiss is the clarity of the vocal
so you can't when they start to my yo they sing a little lyrics and I said
