Yes, bro. Okay. And everybody going to say that shit is, but what I would do, I would show you how many times people in the game who get it in their hands find me on Instagram. You know, I'm loaded. A lot of rap niggas don't know. I'm like, most know nothing. Right.

So when you find a weed, they're like, oh, it's that nigga Spill This Shit. And then they hit. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, bro, like, blah, blah, blah, blah. But no, I'm fine. Yeah, it's good, bro. So you got it in dispensaries? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Where can a person get it in a dispensary right now? At the cookie store. Every cookie store. Every cookie store. Oh, damn. That was really cool of Burner. That was some real good. So it's a partnership with cookies? No. Oh. get it in the dispensary right now yeah the cookie store every cookie store okay that was really cool of Burner that was some real

partnership with cookies no I got my own grow my own everything you just got it in cookie stores Burner just have

so many stores everywhere that he was like come on give me 50 zillion pounds for this store and this for this store

and there's still other dispensaries that we shop with like Lemonade, Sprite Steve Lobel Squaw yeah all brand and all dispensers yes that we shot with, like, Lemonade Spot, Steve Lobel joint. Squaw brand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And your brand went on all dispensers. Yes, yeah. Everywhere that, everywhere where the fine bud is sold, they done did it. We done sent them a van full of it. So you got your own grower? Yes.

How did you come across that? Actually, their family had been growing since the Grateful Dead. Wow. I believe that they pretty much floated these guys' parents through life because of how good the weed was that they was growing. Wow. And that same formula, they perfected with, you know, the younger gang, it changed. It's not the same from what they was brought. So with their original genetics, but bringing it indoors and in a controlled environment,

it got even crazier. And just so happened, I was their favorite artist. Wow. So when they reached out to me, it was like, we want to bring this out, let people know about this through you. Like, they picked me. But you had to pick it, too. Yeah.

You had to test the product. They had just bags named after the homies who grew it. Right. And Andretti OG was called Dave. Wow. It was a bag that just said Dave. I'm like, nah, this the shit right here. They told me it had been around since the 60s. Wow.

Like, when people, like people really was getting blasted, when weed chain was the chronic and shit, it probably was Dave. For sure, it was Dave coming through. We got the Dave. Dave is popping. Yeah, Andrody OG and Grape Jelly is the newest one. Grape Jelly is the newest one.

That is your original. That is when the purple weed first hit. Before they started faking it. That's the... Thank you. Because all you can do, you fuck with the lights and shit and everything starts looking purple. And it's terrible. This is the real fucking old Mack Dre fucking... That's it. That's it. That's it right now i'm so happy like the great thing yeah because when i came into the game when i first started moving when i got to the bay they were showing me some of my love i got the last real perk like mr fab was cool with me running around

short and all this so i was getting the the last of it real before because that's a bay area thing yeah yeah yeah for sure california had the had the cushion. The big had the purple. Right. Yeah. Now, purple is different from piff. And I want to say, now, that I don't know because I know that term came from the East Coast. And I feel like when they were saying piff, they was talking about granddaddy purple. Okay, yeah. Granddaddy purple. What was it? Was it just anything good?

Was they just saying piff was the fire? It was purple haze. And Purple Haze was not like your brand name. Haze was amazing. Yes. Fucking But Grippy was something else originally. Grippy was something else. Who kid used to

hook me? No, Dame Grease. Okay. Dame Grease used to hook me up. Somebody around where he was with fucking would get Hayes for me and bring me that shit. I was like the last person who was having that shit. Yeah. Mr. Lee still got it. When I was running around, Dame was tripping. I came in the studio, I'm like, here man, you should know what this is. He be like, what is this? I'm like, nigga, I'm plugged in out here.

So it's a great debate, sour or haze. What would you have a go with? It's fucked up. Right. That's fucked up

all kind of ways. Right, right. Well, you know what? The fanfare that is, that haze has

garnered, never washed away. Right. You see what I'm saying? I want it right now. If you told me you had some sour deals right now, I'm not going to go crazy because I remember when it got fake. I'm saying I want it right now If you told me You had some sour deals Right now I'm not gonna go crazy

Cause I remember When it got fake I remember Whenever time You heard it They started faking it They were faking it Just because

No no not trainwreck You can't get away With trainwreck But they would Call something Called presidential OG And it would be Very very good

And they would Call it sour They would call it Headband Headband Headband It makes sense Cause New York got so hyped up

cause New York you couldn't sell OG you couldn't sell you know that so what they would do is they sell OG they'll sell headband and then they would they'll get to New York and they'll label it sour but if you knew if you was going to LA and you knew you were like nigga this is it's good it's good but you can figure out like he said so That's how I found Kim Dogg after that. Kim Dogg. Kim Dogg was evil. I met him. Right.

Oh, yeah. Met him, bro. Yeah. Yeah. That dude was really good. That dude was cool. You ever been to the Cannabis Cup? Yeah.

I judged. I judged in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, yeah. I judged that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That must have been great. Nah. I was one of them.

That was with me. Devin the Dude performed that shit, but I judged it. I chose. I was a judge, too. I chose to. I picked the. We ain't Devin the Dude on drinks. It was pretty racist, the weed that won.

Racist? The weed? The name of the weed? What? Like, hey, disclaimer, you know? The jar said Jew Gold. Jew Gold? And they're like, so which one do you like?

I'm like, this one you know this one you guys you guys see it you know yeah I didn't want to say that shit man and they were like oh the kosher kush I'm like well I don't want to say that either I don't know I don't know what I can say this jar is just shit this is good and when it came down to announce it, I asked my manager. I was like, I don't have to say that shit, right? I was just on the panel. No one will go out and say, and the winner is. Right.

Number 37. Yeah, I wasn't by the gas. Strain number. Such a son. Yeah. Right. Me and Styles went the day before. So the day before, they had like a mansion party.

Amen. And we would go, oh, yes, please. Yeah, the Ducey's the Ducey. Is this the champs? This is the champs for the drinking before they had like a mansion party and we we would go oh yes yes yes that's one's brand new that one um if you're meant to drink it out of here brand new we mean i've been drinking yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Hell yeah, my bad. My bad. Shit. Oh, yeah, so me and Styles went the day before. With a great guy. And it was, yeah, it's my brother. So it was crazy because where we was at,

every floor that you went to, they had different types of weed, and it got stronger. And this is a cannabis cup? This is a cannabis cup. Was this in a townhouse, some type of? Yes, yes, yes. I was there. It was crazy.

So I went there, and then this is the first time I always tell a story. You must have felt like a kid in a candy store. Yeah, but this is the first time, like, you know, I'm a smoker. I love all types of weed, but I'm predominantly a smoker. As long as I can smoke up good. I've seen Styles put on the... The little... Like, it was diamonds.

He was looking at that shit. He was looking at the crystals. He did all that shit. But that was back then. So, did you ever think, because like right now in New York City, oh my God,

you could literally smoke in front of the police. I can't believe it. I was there the day before yesterday. I performed at this thing with Wiley and Joey Badass. I fucking couldn't believe

how free it was. Super free. Yeah, I got out of the car and I'm like, ho, ho. And they're like, no, Spirit, you're good, man. I fucking couldn't believe how free it was. Super free. Yeah, I like got out of the car and I'm like, ho, ho. And they're like, no, Spitter, you're good, man. I'm like, yeah, nigga, you good. I'm going to put this shit out.

I don't want to find out, but it actually was all right. It actually was all right. That's such a good thing. It's almost like a new hip for Amsterdam. Not to say Amsterdam is not... You talking about New York?

Yeah, I mean, like, when it comes to cannabis culture. I was stopped in Amsterdam walking. I was walking to McDonald's smoking. And they was like, York? Yeah. I mean, like, when it comes to cannabis culture... I was stopped in Amsterdam walking... I was walking to McDonald's smoking and it was like, you know you can't just, like, just blow past these stores smoking.

I didn't know that. Oh, wow. I thought this was what I was waiting for my whole life, you know what I'm saying? And they was like, oh, no, you got to go inside.

They don't let you do shit like that. I was on the wrong level. I'm, like, looking at jackets and shit, just walking in, just blowing it. I just thought it was all good. I thought it was like air. Yo, this... I was more the wrong level. I'm looking at jackets and shit, just walking in, just blowing it. I just thought it was all good.

I thought it was like air. Yo, that was one of my first times seeing out front, outright racism in Amsterdam. We went to go watch New York, not New York football, but American football. The Giants. We were watching the Giants. The Giants game. It was like 2 o'clock in the morning. At the Bulldog.

The Bulldog. At the Bulldog. No, it wasn't the Bulldog. It was the shit next to The Giants game. It was like 2 o'clock in the morning. At the Bulldog. At the Bulldog. No, it wasn't the Bulldog. It was the shit next to the Bulldog. The sports bar. The sports bar next to the Bulldog. The Bulldog had ribs and shit. Yeah, I can't.

We were at the Bulldog. So I would go out because at the time I smoked cigarettes, right? Yeah. At the time I still smoked cigarettes. So you would have to go outside to smoke cigarettes. So I would go out, smoke cigarettes so i would go out smoke cigarettes he would have a beer in his hand and i would have a beer in my hand and i would walk through and they were like sir you can't have your beer and i'm like where and i would hand it to him

and he would walk right outside i would sit there and i would drink it he's like no i know i can't believe what just happened and then i'll give him back the band. He's like, let's try it again. Let's do it again. So we filled in the whole band and said, let's do it again. I just want you to know. I'm not saying, yo, like, I'm supposed to be the. As long as y'all do the system. No, no, no. But I'm supposed to be the person with privilege or whatever, whatever. And I look.

And he finally looked and was like, yo, this system is really rigged. But have you ever had, like, an experience like that from overseas? No. No. Great. I only went overseas on one run bro okay really only one run and then we came back and we bought some cars and I was like I'm straight really you didn't like overseas all the ketchup

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 Ranella. 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.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Okay. Because you're not a drinker or you're a drinker? I just don't feel like drinking right now. Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, so let me ask you. Okay, cool. No problem. So let me ask you both a question.

Females are running the world. Like, this year, I was trying to be smooth with no spill. Look at that. I was worried about you. Look at that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because I didn't know how cold it was. So which cups?

Which cups? Right here. These two. These two. Okay. So right now, like I was saying, I'm so proud of the female game. For the most part, it seems like all of y'all are working with each other. For the most part.

You know what I'm saying? Working with each other. And y'all really got the game on smash. Did you ever think there would be a day like this? Um, I don't know. I don't know what you're gonna think that far. Right. Damn.

Right. You a short term dick? No, no, it's just like, I never thought like, me listening to you tonight, damn, I want the, that's what I'm saying like when it came to that or I guess as an artist

I probably I don't know child excellent did I think that yeah yeah I mean

when we first came out it was women uh huh and I feel like of course like I feel like now labels are seeing women as more, you know, fun. Uh-huh.

TikTok, you know, music ain't as serious, and we can have more fun with it. So, of course, women are more fun than men. I feel like women are more fun than men, and TikTok is a fun app. Right. You get what I'm trying to say? Right, yeah. Am I saying it wrong? So you feel TikTok fueled it?

Of course. Really? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that. No, no, I'm not. There yeah am I saying it wrong like TikTok fueled it of course I mean there's nothing wrong with that no no there's nothing wrong with it of course yes TikTok is a big part of the market right now and I feel like TikTok is fun like when you go on there you want to hear something fun so you can do again or you can say again and it's stuck in your head and then it's like but it don't happen for everybody so you gotta be fire in some type of way for people to want to carry it you gotta connect yeah you have to connect right in a way so i feel like that's why women got it kind of like right now in a bag because it's like we fun we we not it's like we can do they're not angry. Like, man. I'm not going to say they're not angry. We got too much testosterone. They think everything is feminine.

And you know, like, I'm not going to get on there and make no TikTok. I ain't going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not into it. Content is such a big part of the market right now. That's real. You know what I'm trying to say? Like, the men wasn't too easy to go into the social media stuff.

Yeah, like, no. And put themselves out there. No. Women was more eager to do it. Yeah. Right. Do y'all ever pay attention? Because, like, I love going on Twitter

and people saying, well, City Girls is up. Like, you know what I mean? Like, do y'all ever pay attention to that where, like, a female just does something and then everyone is like, City Girls is up.

Yeah, I love it. You love it? I love when the City Girls is up, though. Right. Y'all we talking to, right? Yes. That's what I'm saying. Our dual winner of BET Awards. Oh, that's right. That. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. You know who we talking to, right? Yes. That's what I'm saying. Our dual winner of BET Awards.

Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. How about that? Is that something that? That's no, congratulations, brother.

Yes, congratulations. Thank you. Yes, yes. We never got to see each other. We never got to see you. Yep. Thank you. I appreciate it.

So is that something that someone presented to you? Or is that something that you had a thought? Because I've read somewhere you said you wanted to be the black Oprah, and people was giving you slack. It was like, because Oprah is black. But like,. She literally said that.

Yeah, she did. You said that? Yeah. Which is fire, by the way. Because real hood niggas knew what you meant, though. Like, you know what I mean? But, but, but. You got to make sure you keep putting that black in there.

I'm the black Oprah. Like, yeah, what happened? She black, but I'm just letting you know. So, would that be an episode you would want Oprah on the show? Yeah, Oprah. Yeah, I need Oprah to see that because I got some questions for her.

So, what kind of city girl questions would you ask Oprah? What a dee- I don't even want to know what Oprah said like that. You don't want to go over for us, man. I would be like, Oprah, what was like the best, you know, the- Right. What the hell?

What the hell? What the hell? What? What? What? Oprah! Yeah, I'm going to just wait until Oprah gets up and talks to, a little... Right. A little. Yeah, I'm going to just wait until I forget my contact. Oh, shit. Now, I know when you were locked up, JT. Did you realize how much love

that you had on the streets? Like, I guess, like, you know, Foxy and Kim, both legends, and both got locked up, but both didn't have social media For their love to be shown Like with you, I got to see I got to see every day

Free her, free her Every day, and I was like, wow That was the first time I got to see Through social media How powerful the female artist is Especially when their fans Are locked up, did you feel that love when you was in the um um jail yeah because like fans will write me like fans will write me like i will always have mail like physical letters not email yeah not email because you had to get

accepted to my court link but physical i used to add some of them like if they'll send a email i used to add some people but it's only a certain amount of people you can have but yeah i felt it and I felt like cuz I was like one of the females that this generation to go to jail I don't know Okay Ain't that better, my brother? No, it is. No, no, no, it is. Okay, okay, really? Okay. Yeah, Kodak is terrible, bro. Okay. So, I think that's what it was. It was, like, exciting, because at the time,

it was like, free Kodak, free Kodak. And the girls had a girl to be, like, DJ T, like, it was like, you know? And then when you came home, because it's like, yeah, Impact just kept growing and growing. Like, every artist that gets locked up, it doesn't work for. Like, there's some artists that get locked up and then they come home. They lose their voice they lose they um the patterns they lose how they used to rhyme and

So a lot of a lot of a lot of them don't work a lot of a lot of 99% don't work It's just like two o'clock I believe Wayne DMX I think it depends on the time Kodak But then you came home It was already taking off And then you just added on

It's just a big force Did you know that was going to happen? Kinda yeah It was like no way it couldn't have happened Because we had like these these records like that was just so good she was out here doing her thing and it was like before i went to jail my whole goal was like okay let me make sure like i record record record record record so we can have yeah i got prepared like so i already knew like even when coach or P would talk any other day

whole thing was like okay we just need y'all to make another stand so I'm mentioned saying but you gotta cut enough records so this chicken for 15 months I'm like damn are we gonna have enough records so then it was like that album and then Carisha was going to features you know so he it all held it all together so by the time I got out I think we dropped a terrible ass song I don't even think that

I'm not going to say that it was just like oh it just went skyrocketing no it didn't it was a pause because I had to go to the halfway house we dropped a terrible ass song I couldn't be as visual as I wanted to be when you came out when I came out because I was in the halfway house so wasn't as visual visible as i was supposed to be because i wasn't but people couldn't know that because you can't say that when you're in a halfway house you

can't use your phone for real but i was sneaking and still posting all right and then covid happened so it and then our album got leaked so no we didn't we did have definitely had hardship when i got out of jail so and you you you got out before kovit oh i got out of the halfway house two days before the lockdown Yeah, no, that's not. Because in comparison to, I was a part of a group called Capone Noriega. And my partner got locked up. And so when he came home, that was the first thing I did. I picked him up in the tour bus. I picked him up in the tour bus. No, they did too.

They picked me up in the tour bus too. Yeah, I invented that. I don't know if y'all knew that. I invented that. Yeah, yeah. So what's your favorite part of the game? Is it making the records or performing the records? I want to say, I'm going to say performing,

but I'm falling back in love with making the records. There was a time when I did not. It was like, oh, these beats, these producers, they fucking up the sound. I moved from Miami. So, you know, every place have a different sound. So, where'd you move to? When I got out, I moved to Atlanta, and then I moved to New York, and now I'm in L.A.

In New York. Oh, you're from all of them. Yeah. So, it was like me just adjusting to music, like, because I'm so used to Miami sound. Like, you know, I grew up, I'm from Miami. So, anything outside of Miami, I'm not going to lie, I would think that it don't sound good because I was raised in one place. What raised you?

What raised you in Miami? Trina, Jackie O. Uncle Al. Uncle Al, of course. Rest in peace to Uncle Al. And like Rick Ross. I'm going to say like Ball Greasy, Iceberg. Like we really grew up.

And if I forgot your name, no offense. Right. But that's who raised us down here so when you hear different sounds or a producer bring you a beat or something i'd be like oh my god that shit is trash and then a lot of people got so caught up with the act up sound you're killing me like so it was like a rough patch and i feel like right now i'm in an era of like i know what sound good i know what i want in an era of like, I know what sounds good. I know what I want the music to sound like.

And I know what I'm going after. That's dope. Also, diamond bracelets. No, these are just. They just look that clean? God damn it. I'm just smuggling. I'm like, wait a minute. Did she just make up for shit?

I never see no diamond bracelets. I don't. I literally put them in my gym. Okay. All right. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Holy's literally putting me out. Okay. Eight feet, Jim. Okay. All right. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Holy moly guacamole. So, we drinking, right?

Drink champs? You don't like them? Yeah, we don't want to hurt you. I thought drink champs was like for retired. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, right? Because I see y'all bring in newer people. We don't want back then.

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

Quiet on set. I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. Quiet on set. I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. Quiet on set. I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. Quiet on set. I'm playing, I'm playing, I'm playing. I'm playing, I'm playing. Quiet on set.

How is it? Light drink jam. Light drink jam. What was it? What was it called? Drill music? What's it called? What is it called?

You know, my old nigga. Yeah, I'm asking. What's it called? Drill? It's called drill music. Drill music. How is it being a part of drill music? Because, um. Is that, wait. Isill music. How is it being a part of drill music? Because, um... Is that, wait,

is that a thing to say you're a part of drill music? Um, I mean, you... Like, versus... So, so, my thing... Can you explain my... Sorry, sorry. My ignorance.

Versus saying that you just hip-hop. Is there a thing that divides it? Me? I'm whatever the people say I am. I'm the people's champ. Right. You know what I'm saying? But I feel like me, I feel like I'm a little more say I am. I'm the people's champ. Right. You know what I'm saying? But I feel like me,

I feel like I'm a little more versatile than just drill music. Right. You know what I'm saying? But it is what it is. Right. You know what I'm saying? I ain't tripping.

Right, right, right, right. Whatever you call me, whatever. As long as you... Is it a light you want to... As long as it's working. I'm saying... You want to do it. Yeah.

So, but... Can you explain to people, like, that has never, because I didn't know that that was, that's what it was called. What, drill? Yeah, drill music.

Like, um, I feel like it was, is that a certain style? Nah, it's really about I'll let him, I'll let him. Yeah. Um, or drill music?

Yeah. Um, no. I think, I think, I think drill music is, I think people, people hear the beat, maybe. The beat do more to it, to the people's heads, so they can say, oh, this is drill music, it's the beat. Right. You know what I'm saying?

Then it's kind of like what you're rapping about. Right. But I feel like it can't be called drill music. It wasn't those two things, because the dance style was the beat. Yeah, so it's the similar. And what you're talking about was Chicago, you know what I'm saying? because the dance was the beat. It's the similar. They just labeled it. What you're talking about was Chicago. They labeled the type of beats.

What we was talking about was happening where we was at. Of course, shout out to Chicago 100%. I fuck with it. That's the first music I've listened to. We was talking about and then the beats. I'm saying, but, I'm saying, I fuck with, that's the first, like, good German music I've listened to, you know what I'm saying? Right, right, right.

But, like, we was talking about, we was talking about, and then the beats. Can't open it, we can't open this up. All the way. Yeah. Like, strictly, like, UK beats. But I definitely got my beats from, like, London producers. Right. At first.

Right. You know what I'm saying? But, you know what I'm saying? I just feel like it's a little slight difference than, like, Brooklyn drill, Chicago drill, UK drill. But that's why I say. The UK drill, you said, right? I'm saying I just feel like it's a little slight difference didn't like Brooklyn drill okay Joe that's why you can't really say right just that right we could do all that okay so let me so let me ask you because when we first heard of you the first heard of you um do Mase is that correct or no okay you didn't you didn't hear me okay me. You didn't hear me through me. So you heard me through Big Drip.

Okay. Right? Okay. Look at that light up there, y'all. Come on. Y'all look. I can already see you taking my light. I already know.

You know, I'm from New York City, born and raised. I already see what's going down. Nah, you don't believe me. Yeah, I'm fucking with you. Go ahead. Yeah, so you heard me through Big Drip. Uh-huh. Right? So Big D through Big Drip. Uh-huh. Right?

So Big Drip had went viral. Uh-huh. On some organic hood shit. Right. Right. And then what happened from there? And then, I'm saying, I feel like we was already in and out the labels. Uh-huh.

I'm saying due to the litmus and the shit that was happening in New York. Uh-huh. But then it got serious. I ain't due to the litmus and the shit that was happening in New York.

I told that he told me

Whole year I didn't want to go. His own peoples, his own mans, you know, he was more closer to them. He was closer to me than that. And I'm saying, they was telling him, like, yo, bro, you don't rap. Don't rap. Don't go to the studio.

What you mean? I told him to go to the studio. He ain't even a rapper. One day, I went to the studio, I'm like, yo, because you know, you know how we do. We be in a hood. We be in a hood. We freestyling the whole way. We smoking weed. We doing regular hood nigga shit. I'm like, yo, because you know how we do. We be in a hood. We be in a hood. We freestyling the whole way.

We smoking weed. We doing regular hood nigga shit. I'm like, yo, this my man. We lit though. But I'm like, yo, this my man. Nigga, intro this shit. Like, rap. Nigga, say some shit real fast.

And I'm going to come on right after you. And then we're going to go viral. And this shit went viral. They couldn't stop us. And then afterwards, Drake called. Big dog called. I'm sorry. You And then afterwards, Drake called. Big dog called. Hold up. Drake called.

I couldn't even believe it. One day I was home in my house. Hold on, hold on. You'll stay with Drake's story. Hold on, hold on. You're going too fast. Listen. All right, so one time I remember

Trinidad James came on Drink Champs. And Trinidad James said that he was the first person to go viral. And I remember, I think you tweeted. I think you tweeted. He was like, this nigga's out of his mind. So, I think you misunderstood because I think what he was trying to say was like the first

version of it. But when they first said viral, yeah, you was it. I think, yeah, I think I think I was, the people was putting it out a certain way. Or maybe they was telling me a certain way. You know how people get. Like, game telephone.

By the time you was like, nah, he said that. He wasn't even. You know what I'm saying? But that's my nigga though. That's my nigga. That's my nigga. That's my heart. We do good business together.

And that's one of my friends. Let me ask you guys. This is going to be a super old head question, right? How much do you guys believe in what is hip hop? To me. Like, do you guys, what is hip hop for you? What's hip hop? What is it?

The culture? Yeah. The whole thing? Yeah. What is hip hop for you? What's hip hop? What is it? What is it? The culture? Yeah. The whole thing? Yeah. There's a bunch of people trying to explain their stories in a different type of way. Some of them is doing it and yelling and screaming. Some of them is doing it and dancing.

Some of them doing it to talk about gang violence. Some of them, you know, there's a bunch of people just trying to tell a story and trying to make it out the hood and trying to make it out the neighborhood. You know what I think is not, though? Let me tell you what it's not. Maybe what it used to be when it started out, maybe it was a cultural thing, like it was a hip hop, was a culture thing, right? With elements. Like you was a hip hop, just a graffiti artist. Dancers and everything, yeah.

I don't think it's that no more i'm saying you know and i feel like people got because people like that like they would people and put people in the box and like i'm saying it criticize like you're a hip-hopper right i'm saying i need you a bad guy i'm saying so i'm like i don't think it's that no i don't think it's a lifestyle i think it's it's music i think it is what it is it's history i think it's just music i think it's music you don't think it's cultural or whole thing i don't i don't want it to be cultural because a lot of a lot of negativity and come from it so i'll be trying not to like trying to be like i'm not a hip hopper. Right? Because, you know what I'm saying? I got a family. But there's positivity to the hip hop side of it.

Yeah, but they don't, who knows that? Who knows that? Right. They don't talk about that. What positivity? Nobody you could say to the world and be like, yo, name me one thing positive about hip hop. I'm saying that it would be someone who says.

We know, we know. Right, right, right, right. I'm saying we know what's really going on. Like, we know everybody is trying to feed their family and trying to figure something out and try to get an outlet for taking care of their self. But they try to say, this is what it is. And it's in the hip hop concert.

You mean the narrative people are trying to say, yeah. The whole bunch of people, hip hop concert. I've been all over the world to different type of music. You feel me? It's a different vibe and different music. It's a different freedom. It's a different all type of shit. Like, you feel me? It's different different vibe and a different music. It's a different freedom. It's a different all type of shit. Like, you feel me? It's different.

So you know what the crazy shit is? I saw, because hip hop, the elements still have to be there, right? They're still there. They're still there. And then there's different versions of it. And I've seen Kevin Hart and Dr. Dre. And Dr. Dre said something that was so dope. He was like, I'm not supposed to judge the new version of hip hop.

But you don't have to like it either. He said he didn't like most of it, but he doesn't hate on it. Right was like, I'm not supposed to judge the new version of hip-hop. But you don't have to like it either. He said he didn't like most of it, but he doesn't hate on it. Right, right, right. Because that's what makes you your grandfathers, is when you're sitting around and you say, yo, you judge, you know what I'm saying? You know the what, whatever, whatever. So I think that's a great

way to look at it. But that's also talking about the music specifically. Okay. We have to acknowledge that, though. That's music specific. Yeah, but I think, yeah. I'm I think they took him off us right I'm not talking about those same I'm so outside watch was plated up I'm so gonna go I'm talking about those people right we know what's going on. Right. I'm saying we know it's okay. Right. Right. Everybody ain't,

I'm saying everybody ain't dying in two, three seconds. Let's toast up. Let's toast up to that. And let's also, tell us about Pop Smoke, man. I never met Pop Smoke. Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers.

Tell me about Pop Smoke. You never met Pop Smoke? Nah, I never got to. Yo, yo, yo, yo. Oh, yeah, yeah. Come on. I ain't toasted you. Come on.

Tell us about Pop Smoke. I never got to meet him. That's my brother. That was... He was a star from born. Right. He was a star from born. He was a star.

Right. And, like, the nigga, like, he just had an aura to him. Right. He knew what he was doing. Right. Naturally. Right. Naturally.

I could say... I could say... I could say it wasn't like he was being somebody else. Being himself. People loved him for that. So that's what made him a star to me in my eyes. And then he would be himself when people loved him. That's why I fuck with all natural people.

That's why I fuck with social people. Because he'd be himself. He ain't got to be nobody else. He'd be all natural. Right. Now, let's go back to that Drake story. Aye. So, yeah. One day. So it a natural. Right. Now, let's go back to that Drake story. Alright. So, yeah.

One day, so it's like, alright, basically it was like, this is the craziest story. So it's like, I had got offered like, because I had got offered a deal before, before Fabio. Okay. Like, you know, but because of my loyalty, because I'm just like, you know what, fuck it. If he didn't get in there, right then and there,'m like i i denied it right right which was probably like like y'all think right now like wow this kid's brown's projects just got offered 1.1 million dollars from brownsville you said yeah i'm from brown's projects and then he doesn't take the money you get what i'm saying but something

about it wasn't just right so i wound up not taking it two Two weeks later, God bless me, I get a DM from Drake saying, he reposted listening to one of my songs that I had to do with Bobby. And then under it he wrote, he said, yo, I have never met no kid with this much energy ever in my life. Your energy is unmatched. Keep going.

Under your comments? No, in my DM. When I seen this, I thought at first I thought, you know, I'm young, Brooklyn, Brownsville. I told the father. You think it's a bot? Yeah, I thought it was a real joke. Champagne poppy wasn't champagne poppy.

So, not to be bougie or anything, so it took me like two days to go. Oh, shit. Tell them to hold on. We want them to. i'm saying a picture it took me like two days to really to write them back to really like write them back because i was really surprised so one day when i went to the studio i had told my my mans and shit like that they're like yo what bro you don't believe it because you know they were telling me that people

be doing that scamming so when i had i say I appreciate you brothers. Send me your number right sent me the number And I face time that he really picked up Be we all sorry for the New York shit Be my brother. Yeah, like he came out saying we. We could, we could, we could do Chinese Kitty right after you by ourselves. All right. But let me, let me, yeah,

yeah, we do it by ourselves. Word up. I'll give her that love. But now before you get up out of here, let's talk about 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.
