We think a person is a legend And the fans will come and they'll be like Oh he ain't a legend This is not gonna happen this episode He's a 100% solid legend. Been in the game for years. Looked the same. He found the fountain of youth somewhere.

He found the fountain of youth. He's still out here doing it. I'm talking about one of the only people that had super success on a certain label and went to like what was. And before the labels, too, on his own. On his own. Doing his thing. A New Orleans legend.

Before that was cool. Before it was cool, he was already New Orleans. He's a staple. And not only that, he is the energy god. I seen him perform the other day. He was a black... Because I was trying to... When I figured out he was here, I was trying to say,

should we do it after his performance? And by the grace of God, God sent me yesterday to perform with 8-Track. And 8-Track told me he's bringing his brother out. And I had to sit there in the crowd and just become a 100% fan again. He's one of the first people that we were playing in New York City, like from the south. His energy was just so crazy. Like he's one of the first people that we were playing in New York City, like from the south. Like his energy was just so crazy.

And to see him perform yesterday and his energy still be the same. We got to salute this man right now. We got Mr. Cool in the motherfucking building. Not only other New Orleans artists we had on here was Currency. And he came late, too. He came late, too. So that's that's gangster. Keeping New Orleans tradition going.

It's the laid back. So when we started to get to him about him being signed to No Limit, he don't got the stories you got because you was a star on No Limit. I remember at one point, you know how they would say Def Jam and they would say Method Man. At one point, when you named a

star from No Limit, it was hands down you. Wow. How did that? What year was you signed to No Limit, first of all? 97. 97. Wait, first of all, the intro, bro. Come on, bro.

Listen, a legendary. Now, that's coming from a legend. That's right. That's right. That's what validated. That's what make it official right there. That's right. That's right.

Because it take one to know one. That's right. That's right. Don't leave that. That's right. So, appreciate that intro, bro. No, no. Love, my brother right there. That's right. That's right. You know, because it take one to know one. That's right. That's right. Don't leave that. That's right. So appreciate that. No, no, love. My brother loves.

Thank you, man. It's true. Yo, open the bottle. You ain't no champagne opener. Can you pass me the champagne? Yeah, I want you to make a mess out here. I'm not going to ask a question, bro. Yeah, yeah.

It felt like I was doing my job, bro. That's my job. Show up. At no one. Because at one point, yo, I'm going to be honest. Y'all was like the strong. Like that tank meant something. Like Y'all was like the strong. Like that tank meant something. Like y'all was.

That movement. I remember seeing y'all like 85 deep. Right. Before like. 100. Easy 100. For real. For real.

And so like how was that era? Man, I was listening, bro. I was traveling with Master P. It's got to be similar to how President Obama's squad Felt rolling with him It's true The helicopters And police chases

And explosions And you know For real bro You know what I'm saying That's a real campaign nigga You know what I'm saying Real campaign nigga But before

Before No Limit You was already doing stuff Before No Limit How many years before that Were you doing it I started professionally In 94 94 When you had The boot camp That you had Right Did you guys ever How many years before that were you doing it? Well, I started professionally in 94. 94.

When you had the boot camp clique that you had. Right, right. Did you guys ever talk with Duck Down? Did that ever get resolved? I know there was a little, like, because they had boot camp cliques. I didn't know them. I wasn't too familiar. But you were in the military, and that's where you were coming from with that.

Exactly. But when I joined the boot camp clique, that name was already established. So I had nothing to do with the fucking creator of the name and all that. But since I was one of the coldest, I got the charge. It was just a coincidence. Now, you're speaking about the military, because you was in the military, right? Army. Army, okay.

Colin Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick right now. He's taking a stand. What do you stand? Because you was in the military. So how do you feel about that? As far as what? Like, as he know, when the Pledge of Allegiance is happening, he's taking a stand. Like, what do you stand? Because you was in the military. So how do you feel about that? As far as what? Like, as he know, when the Pledge of Allegiance is happening, he's taking one knee. And he's saying that he doesn't want to do that until, like, Black Lives Matter, like, Black Justices. How do you feel like that as a person in the military?

You know, I'm a veteran, so I'm definitely going to be patriotic. Let's make some noise for a veteran. God damn it. So hold on. You said you were a veteran? Go ahead. When that motherfucker come, I'm going to put my hand on my little heart. You know what I'm talking about?

I went out there, you know, ready to ride out by this bullshit. But does it bother you that he does that? Uh-uh. Because in a sense, you know, supposedly the soldiers fight for his right to do that as well. Exactly. So, you know, I see where you're coming from. I see where you're coming from. Now, when you came out the Army, what's there like, like, what happens when you come out the Army?

Like, listen, you out the Army, what happens when you come out the Army? You got honorable discharge, right? Yeah. When I left the Army, I was ready to be a rapper. I felt like the Army was holding me back. Wow. You was rapping in the Army? Fucking right. One of the coldest.

With that uniform on. I was ready to battle whoever. From wherever. Oh, shit. Being a student and a fan of the game, bro, the hip-hop game, seriously.

So what year you got out the Army? That was 94. 94. So you come home and you already rapping. So you did, your independent stuff

was on your own. I was rapping prior to the Army. What happened was as soon as I left to go and listen to Army because rap was more like a hobby at that time,

especially coming from New Orleans. Yeah, where y'all was at, if you ain't from New York enough, that was it. That's how we felt in Miami. Get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of here.

You know what I'm saying? So I had to do my thing, you know, showing that shit. We capable of doing that, too. We get down, too, goddamn. Now, when you met Master P, was he already big? He was on his way.

Oh, okay. You couldn't miss him. You know, if a city bus passed by, I was going to be wrapped in the fucking some no-limit shit. Get out of here. No, you get out of here. Like, how the fuck did you do that, dude?

Like, for real. Like, really, people? A city bus? Yes. Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy. Every billboard, every way you look was Master P. I'm like, you know what?

Fuck it. Right, right. And how's your relationship now? Y'all still cool? Fucking right. Okay. Super respect. So we always heard that there was like no limit cash money drama.

It was. It was. Competition. Competition. It's for different projects? What project are you from? No, I'm from Uptown. I live right around the corner from the project.

So that's Baby in them. It was just fucked up just around the corner. Yeah, Baby in them from Uptown too. So you knew Baby in them too? Fucking right. Wow. New Orleans, y'all have a lot of room. It had to be in a small scene then. Yeah, you know from uptown, too. So you knew Baby and them, too? Fucking right. Wow. That's nice. New Orleans, y'all have a lot of room. It had to be in a small scene, then.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, y'all knew each other, whoever was doing stuff. Exactly. Right. And now, so, okay, so Batsy P was already on his way. Right. And then he steps to you. What did he say?

He said, man, I was watching your career. I'm watching you as an artist. Now I'm trying to build my brand as a company. I see you building your brand as an artist. We need to put this shit together and, you know,

let's do our thing. Because he hired me for the Bowdy Bowdy soundtrack. Right. He wanted me in the movie, but I didn't get a chance to, you know,

get in the movie, but I did make that soundtrack. Once I got to the studio to record that soundtrack, I never left. Never left. I ain't want to leave. Now,

was it true that, like, No Limit had, like, one office with, like, one worker in there? It was, like, one or two workers in there? That shit was, like, incredible. I remember. But y'all started 300 million. I remember Busta Rhymes coming to the studio saying, yo, when we go into the studio, we're recovering.

Like, this it? You know what I mean? Like, you and y'all do all that shit here? No, over here. Yeah, that's crazy. Busta Rhymes was calling me earlier. Y'all do that shit here? Yeah, that's my brother, man.

That's what we're Rhymes was called in earlier Yo listen Y'all Like that That Alright we have the death row era We have the bad boy era And now we kinda like still having the cash money era But I can't

I can't I can't compare what No Limit did I remember I remember I was in Vegas right And Leo Cohn said I just seen the illest thing in the world and I said what's that he said I just seen a hundred fifty dudes just walked through the hotel and I said I got a hundred and

fifty dudes when he walked through he said but all of them had on a Rolex I said we ain't on no Rolexes. We ain't on no Rolexes. Let's make some noise. Leo Cole told me that in Vegas somewhere. He seen y'all walking through. He understood that. He understood. Everybody had Rolexes. He understood the power of having a real team and a squad with you. I was dolo my whole life.

I'm out there by myself. Fuck it. Who on it? Right, right. But he was like, at some point, you're going to need that squad with you, bro. And it was a serious presence. It was. And it made a difference.

It makes a difference. Now, how do you get your energy? Because I feel like I got energy, but I can't fuck with you or Busta or DMX. M.O.P.? By the way, I want to do a record with me, Mystical, Busta, and DMX on my album. And call it energy. I'm going to use steroids for that week. Just for that week. Just And call it energy I'm going to use steroids For that week

Just for that week Just for that week I'm going to take Ginger Shines And man steroids The music man The music The music

The music brings it out you But because Like you be on tracks With people And you still Like Was that like a method To

To Like to stand out No that's just where I was Wow That's where I was, man. To stand out, no, that shit just was a side effect of it. The man right there! I'm sorry, it just came out of me. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Was that flow inspired by, like something inspired you to have that flow? When I first started in the game, I was, I prototyped myself behind LL Cool J. My first style was rhymes, singing, and portraying, and suckers on swinging, you know, LL, man. It always starts that was rhyming, singing, and portraying, and some of those I was swinging, you know, LL, man.

It always starts that way. How did you develop into your own? I just evolved into that shit, yeah, evolved into it. They had LL,

they ain't need no fucking two LLs. But your energy is still like that because yesterday, so you walk out on stage, and he's calm as hell, and then that move,

bitch, you got out of the way, soon as that shit came on, told you, the beat, the music. Get out of the way. As soon as that shit came on, it was like you transferred. The music. The music speaks to you like that. Every single time that come, I could be at home by my fucking self. That's how I'm going to be acting. Right.

Yeah, nobody's got to see this shit. Like, sometimes when my show's not super packed as they should be, I'm like, I ain't tripping, y'all. I'm finna get this fucking show, and I'm going to be sweating and musty when I leave this bitch. Because I'll do it at home by myself in the mirror with a brush. I don't even need a real mic. So now, let's get into the cash money because I believe you left cash money as well, correct? Amicably, yes. Amicably, okay.

So what happened with that? I think it wasn't about you. How did you even get on cash money? Mutual respect, baby, and I had respect. Even when I was on no limit, he used to be hitting me up, man, what's happening, we're gonna sit down. Like, I'm already sitting down. You know, so it was just, you know, respect.

And, you know, the funny thing when I came home, for them to, you know, help me keep this shit moving. Wow, so when you came home, that was the first people? That was one of the first calls. I was like, when I left, I was like, man, you got to keep holding that shit down

Let's make some noise for the rich place. Living in the rich place, god damn it. It sounds rich. It sounds rich. So now, describe the food culture for New Orleans. Spicy, yeah. Fire like cayenne. I can't lie to you.

I can't lie to you. That's some of the best food I ever had in New Orleans. Like, I've never had a bad meal in New Orleans. I'm sure that shit ain't as healthy as it should be for you, but it tastes too fucking good. It's just some good-ass good food. We're definitely known for that. Now, your city goes to

Katrina. How was that? I had to watch that from in prison. I was on my left prison standing there, that shit on television, like, damn, I'm supposed to be in the little pissy water splashing with my people trying to help. I was supposed to be out there, you know, fuckedashing my people Trying to help them For real I'm supposed to be out there You know fucked up too

But this wasn't Y'all first hurricane right Did you go through A hurricane as a child Not like that Not to But it wasn't even A hurricane

It was the levees Just breaking It was fucked everything up Yeah that shit just No that was a fucking A powerful hurricane That came through No it came through

Florida first We felt it too Right So it was fun enough To break levees Yeah You think that was A conspiracy You don't believe in that And the levees being No, it came through Florida first. We felt it, too. Right, right. So, you're spotting up to break levies. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You think that was a conspiracy? You don't believe in that, in the levies being?

I look at the after effect. A lot of good came from it. There was a really pretty silver lining, you know what I'm saying, in that thing. A lot of people seeing opportunities that they never would have even thought about going. How so? Because they had to get the fuck. They had to leave. Oh, to get the fuck out of the hood?

Yeah, they wasn't going nowhere. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah, I don't want to go nowhere. Fuck it. This is where I'm at. Then shit like that happened. Now your ass got to go.

That's a different way of looking at it. And life fucked around. It got better for them. Yeah. And a lot of the projects, did it wreck the projects? Well, if it didn't, we did. You know what I'm saying?

We're going to holler at your projects. Did y'all think? Yeah. Give it up for the projects. Yeah. All what I'm saying? Project's out of here. We're going to holler at your project. Did y'all think? Yeah, give it up for the project. Yay! All right. All right. So, clean the shit up.

God damn it. Yeah, we fucking the murder rate up out here, man. Yeah, it's about to fucking. Yeah, that's nice. Now, if you could compare CEOs, because, you know, we love CEO talk. For real. You're one of the only people that was, a high level that actually dealt with No Limit and then dealt with Cash Money.

Like where would you rate Baby versus Master P? They have a lot of similarities but they're different in a lot of ways. You know, they both had that competitive edge. You know what I'm saying? And they have the personality and the character to do what they've done. I don't know if I could have done it.

What would you compare? What would you say the pros and cons of being with P and the pros and cons of being with him? The pros were being with both of them.

They was the hottest. Like when I came home, No Limit was the hottest. I mean, Cash Money was the hottest shit. I'm like, well, what better way to get to the top

than from the fucking top? They're right up there. Yeah, just cut me off. You know what I'm saying? And then how about P? P, I watched him grind that shit from ground zero. From the mud, you know what I'm talking about, to how about P? P. I watched him grind that shit from ground zero.

Right. From the mud. You know what I'm talking about? To build an empire. That shit was amazing. I know that man had about $20, $30 million in the bank. And the bankers, his deal was not bad. I respected that.

I was like, whoo. That was gangster shit. Okay. So right now, there's a million dollar deal for Mystical. And you have a choice. Go cash money or no limit.'s not as easy i just did cash money no limit turn no no limit turn okay let's make some noise for no limit it would definitely be no limit turn i still would be very open to talk to them talk to cash

money about what we're going you know what i'm saying never never closed-minded what would happen if they would have united? Too much, too much. It would have inspired too many motherfuckers. That would have been crazy. They still had that opportunity to do that. Right now. Because they both changed the game.

They both changed it. Now, the writing on the wall from Master P writing, No limit, babe. They saying, what you did was important, P. We need you, bro. Come on. Because that's what I hear all day. Come on, Mr. Bro, fuck that.

I'm not going to try to help. When they act right, when they act right. You know, I got it. You know, I got to put it out there right, though. Come on, Milska, bro, fuck that. I'm ready to go travel. I'm ready to act right. I'm ready to act right. You know, I got it. You know, I got to put it out there right, though. Come on now. Don't play with me, bitch. Now, how was it doing that? Mm-hmm.

Na-na-na-na video. Y'all look like y'all had too much fun. Listen, not just the videos. We did fucking movies. But that video in particular. That was the basketball video, right? Yes. How was that? Wasn't that the second video?

Motherfuckers like Shaquille O'Neal came out to that video. That was in New Orleans or y'all was in California? That was in California. He did everything larger than life. You know, he definitely,

you know, looked at the big picture in a big way. Right. Now, one of my favorite female artists is Mia X.

She's dope. She's one of the dopest. For real. How was it working with her? I used to tell artists, listen, I know you're doing a feature and it's just a feature,

but you jump on that fucking song with that girl and don't handle your business, she's going to cook you like grits for you, bitch. She's going to fix your breakfast, bitch. Yeah, so handle your business. Yeah, but it seems like you, too. It seems like every time you got on the track, you tried to murder everybody. Because I thought about it like that. Like you want to murder everybody.

Yeah, I want to compete. So you're telling me your style wasn't developed from trying to stand out? I started off a battle rapper. Oh, okay, now that makes sense. Okay. Because your style is so unique. Because I was a storyteller

and then we was in the hallway battling and the dude just went, oh, he went full, he was belligerent and all. You a bitch, you a hoe in the crowd. I was trying to stick

to the lyrics of my last story. I was on a skateboard riding all the time. And he yelled at you? I was cussing my ass out, yeah, hailing us, you know, so I was like, oh yelled at you? I cut my ass out. Yeah. Hell and nothing.

Wow. I'm like, oh, okay, that's where it's at. Wow. Let's make some noise for that right there. I ain't never lost again

after that. I bet you that. I was ready for that. Now, was you disappointed that you didn't get to put out a project on Cash Money?

A little bit. Well, fucking right. Let me see. What was the best one? Disillusioned. You know, that shit like... I don't even know what that word means,

but it sounds hard. I was bewildered. I was fucked up. I was confused. Bafudo. Bafudo. To describe a word like that, you got to use another fucking word.

I was fucked up. I was discouraged. And did you finish the album? I was discouraged. Fucking right. You did? Oh, wow. So where's the album at?

It's lost? I got it. I got it did? Oh, wow. So where's the album at? It's lost? I got it. I got it. Drink Champ Records. Drink Champ Records. I put it over there. That's my white name now. It was vintage.

Because it came hard. It still was vintage. It might have had a little dated sound to it. Right. Then as the years progressed and the more I was out here, yeah, I see.

So now, how do you feel about this Wayne and Baby situation? They're going to work it out. And J Prince is in it. Yeah. Because, like, did you have discrepancies with P? What do you mean? Fucking right.

From an audience, that's an all-day conflict. Yeah, of course. That's an all-day conflict. We had the respect, you know, on top of all that, though. So the business always came out. Because they was managing you, too, right? They didn't. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's definitely a conflict of interest. Yeah, that's a super conflict of interest. On top of all that though So the business always came out Because they was managing you too right They didn't Oh okay Yeah

That definitely comes like an interest Yeah That's a super company interest I'm with the company And the company managers And my manager too Look out for me I can't

You second Alright They did that to me too I mean at no limit But still you know what I was second in every goal But it still felt like I was first looking at

The other rapper That wasn't in the position I was in So I just appreciated what came with it. Fuck it, I'll take that L right there. I think it's Tiger Bone time. Let's open it up. Let's open it up. It's the Chinese shit. Open it up. We want you to do the honors.

We want you to do the honors. Watch something jump out the window. You're good. This is the star of the show, by the way. Tiger Bone. Sounded like something to smoke. We're going to get into some mystical shit right now, baby.
