We also got to see The Lox The Lox I also got to see the Lox. The Lox. I smoked a cigarette in the Lox room. Let's make some noise for that, goddammit. Bell Biv Devoe. Bell Biv Devoe. 112.

112. Carl Thomas. Carl Thomas. I apologize to 112 for throwing a basketball in the ocean because I was- In the ocean? In the ocean, yeah. We was in Jamaica. It was hot like Jamaica.

I was walking around with slippers on, but I was like, man, R&B niggas can't beat me in basketball. And I played them niggas and they, and they beat me and I'm a sore loser. So I was like, I can't go back to New York. Like letting R&B niggas just beat me in basketball. So I did what every New York nigga would do at that moment. I threw the ball in the ocean.

Let's make some noise for that guy there. But I was a chap, so I had to come to them as a man and apologize. But you know, it was great seeing Carl Thomas again at first.

I didn't recognize Carl Thomas, so I apologize. You got to catch up with X after the episode. That's the first time you've seen him since the episode

that we did with him. No, I've seen him on Mad Times since the episode. I saw him, but he talked about it a lot. Yeah, yeah. But he definitely said no to another one.

Yeah, definitely. Definitely shut us down. Shut us down. It was a dope moment. I was like, I need you back on. He was like, why? What are we going to talk about? I was like, oh, shit.

He definitely shut us down. I have never had somebody tell me that. So he's definitely shut us down. But Word Flush. Word Flush is in the building with the Drink Champs right now. Yes, yes, yes. Happy to be here. You know why I like kicking it with you? Because you're

one of the OGs that's like me. You embrace the new generation. You came in with Fresher, correct? Yes. Fresher. He got the joint now. What's the name of that? Wait, wait, wait. It's Big Him Up, Big Up Brooklyn. Big Up Brooklyn. You know what I'm saying? You're one of the people that's considered an OG, that's considered a legend,

that you stay abreast of the new things. You stay in the clubs. You don't only stay in the old school parties like I do, too. I get those bags, too. But you go to the new school parties and things like that. Why is that? I mean, you got to keep up to whatever's going on in this world, man. That's me.

One thing about me, whatever's happening, I'm happening. You know, like a lot of people come to me like, yo, the 90s. I can't bring that back, man. They stuck on the 90s. I can't bring that back, man. They stuck on the 90s. I can't bring that back. I love the 90s. No, I love the 90s too. I love the 90s too, but...

I love it. I love it. I can't lose the gut. I'm not looking like the 90s. I got a white beard. I look like an old version of me. I could die at it and be new. But, because that's interesting

that you say that because there's a lot of people that's in our generation that they call them dinosaurs. Yeah, they won't go to the next level. They won't. They stuck where they at. Right.

Which is no good, because in hip-hop, you got to move forward. Not for artists. I'm not mad at none of these new artists that's out. I might be mad the way they got their hair, what they do. But besides that, music is music, man. You know what I'm saying? I'm quite sure Melly Mel and the Cold Crush brothers.

Right, they didn't appreciate the 90s probably. Yeah, I wasn't dressing like them. You know what I'm saying? So they probably was looking at me like I was crazy. But you gotta respect

music on how it moves. Generation to generation. You know what I mean? If it's authentic. Yeah, if it's good. Because sometimes motherfuckers just do shit just to do it.

Before this arrived, I did. I tried to kill myself. Jesus. All right, damn. Usually there's somebody doing that. But I arrived, I did. I tried to kill myself. Jesus. All right, damn. Usually there's somebody doing that. But, all right,

so we know about Fresher. Let's big him up once again. But what are some of the other new artists that you're into right now? I mean, I guess, I guess, like, I'm New York,

so I guess it's like Uncle Murda, Mano, you know, I'm still a J-Dawg, Fabulous. Young M.A.? Yeah, Young M.A., definitely. You know what I mean?

That's my type of shit. A-Boogie with the hoodie? I like A-Boogie with the hoodie. Right, right. He dope. I'm up on that, too. I think it makes you young because I think it makes you young when you understand the young generation. Like, every now and then, I don't get certain things, and I'll call my nephew.

And it's usually me schooling my nephew. But I don't mind being schooled back. I don't mind him putting me on the A-buggy with the hoodie. You know what I mean? He actually put me on to him, too. Oh, word? I was picking up your really goddamn it. Goddamn it, your really.

You're trying to be an OG. You're schooling the older niggas. What the fuck is going on out here? But I think that's healthy. But now, let's walk us through your career in the beginning. You got signed around 96, 97? Yeah, I got signed in 96. 96, okay.

And Mike Geronimo got signed in 95, the beginning of 95. Now, Mike Geronimo went through Irv Gotti. He went through it. So he started with Irv Gotti. Cash Money Click was in it. The original Cash Money Click. Not Baby and Slim. No, no, no.

Not Baby. TVT Cash Money Click, yeah. But that Cash Money jerked you just like the other cash money jerked you, niggas. Let's make some noise for that, god damn it. Yeah, but so 96. So Mike Geronimo came through Irv Gotti and TBT? Yeah, well, he came through Irv Gotti, and Irv Gotti got the deal with Steve Gottli from TBT. And it was a deal.

And then now you, because it was interesting, because it was like you came through Mike Geronimo, but it was like you didn't come with Irv Gotti. Well, Mike Geronimo's from Flushing, but he's like from up the block Flushing. Because we first thought he was from Jamaica at first. Yeah, yeah. Because then he shot the video in 40 Projects. Yeah, in 40 Projects. That fucked us up.

That fucked us up all outside of Queens. We was like, what was going on? What was going on? But continue. So Mike Geronimo had got signed and one day Mike Geronimo

had to do a show and Irv couldn't make it. So I went to the show and I'm standing in the front and I'm watching this kid from Flushing. He got a baseball bat song and I'm like,

ah, shit's real. So he called me and I got on stage. So when I got on stage, he had his whole label there. It was like his first show. So I wowed out on stage. And they seen that chemistry, and that was it.

Then they pulled him to the side, gave him his own deal, and told him they wanted to sign me. Oh, so you was with TBT. It was do Mike Geronimo's situation. Yeah, do. When they seen me on stage, I had nothing to do with Irv. When they seen me on stage, not Earth. I had nothing to do with Earth. When they see me on stage, that's when they told Mike they want to sign me by myself. And that's something that I've noticed with you.

Like, out of all the industry things, I feel like you feel most comfortable on stage. Yeah, I mean, if I could sell my music live, I'd be out of here. You know what I'm saying? I love that. You know what I'm saying? I love that. You know what I mean? I love my character. I love my personality. That's where you're

most comfortable. Yeah. And I think that's what messed me up growing up because I was more worried about how the music had to sound instead of selling myself.

Like, I'm what you want. You know what I'm saying? Whether I got a hit record or not, you want to hang out with Roy and Flush. You want to smoke with Flush. You want to fuck with

the bitches with Flush. You want to have a good time with Flush. So I had to know to sell myself instead of my music first. That's very interesting. Was the first single

Cuban Connection? No, I threw one. Yeah, I threw one. I threw a worldwide out. Because we had L.A.L.A. Yeah, worldwide. That's right, that's right. But we was hyped

as a Cuban, Cuban Connection. Oh, let's make some noise for me. In my head, you're Cuban. Let's make some noise for me. I'm Cuban. No, he's Cuban.

He's Cuban. My last name's Gavante. So I was giving you a play. I might have told you this years ago, but I was giving you a me. I'm Cuban. No, no, he's not Cuban. He's Cuban. My last name's Gavante. So I was getting your back play. I might have told you this years ago, but I was getting your back play. I'm like, this guy's Cuban. You got to rep your Cuban side. I went to the Dominican meeting. They're having a meeting right now about Fabulous.

They're trying to kidnap him. Fabulous, be careful. The Dominican's got an APB out on you. They want you to start repping or they're going to get you. They're going to throw you off of a bridge. So start repping your Cuban side Yes I do I do

I already got a federal about that So now You got Worldwide Which was a direct record going at LA It was good Because even our record LA LA Kind of We was going at them

But it kind of wasn't Like we could have got away with Nah we was just making a response But your record you couldn't yeah i mean and even people were talking about my record like i wasn't even talking about l.a i was talking about bad boy you're just a boy you're not bad enough to the shot for no reason who shot you so i my whole thing was talking about how bad boy just let you let people come to new york and step on the buildings. Elliot Wilson train. You know what that is? If you don't know, we understand why.

I want to know now. He interrupts good parts of interviews. Oh, Astrid. All right, cool, cool, cool. So it wasn't going to LA? It was to separate that beef with Queens. Keep in mind, Uncle, you know what I mean? It would separate Queens.

But you didn't have no personal beef with them. It was just what your opinion was. I just didn't have no personal beef with them. No, no. I just felt like Biggie was hot, man. Hold us down, New York, man. I'm out here busting my ass, man. Hold me down. And I felt like it wasn't that, you know what I mean? So that's when I came with Worldwide, Worldwide.

Keep in mind, on Queens, when the dogs start barking. And now, what did that record do for you? Did it take you off the underground scene? It did, because one time I was with Mike Geronimo, we went to go see Jay-Z, and Biggie was doing that song, They Got Together,

the Brooklyn one, and Big kind of looked at me. Brooklyn Finest. And Big kind of looked at me, you know what I mean? So I felt like it stopped a lot of my blessings

with being around that whole little bad boy fam at the time because I did throw some shots. But fuck it. And not only that, you know what's funny

about that time is as much as we thought we was representing for the East Coast, Big didn't want to actually respond. He probably didn't cosign L.A. L.A.

Like Big was like, he was like, nah, I didn't want to do that. That was shocking to. He didn't cosign L.A. L.A. Like, Big was like, he was like, nah, I didn't want to do that. That was shocking to me because we actually did it in direct defense. He probably saw the bigger picture in his head.

Yeah, he saw the bigger picture. I believe so as well. So, Roy Fletcher, so you got this worldwide record. Now, you come into Cuban Connection. How did this record...

Which samples you. Nah, I was on that record. I'm on that record. Oh, I didn't just sample you? Yeah, no, I'm on the record. I'm on the video and everything. We went to Jamaica Avenue and robbed the jewelry store. I never saw you.

I never saw you. Robbed the jewelry store in Jamaica Avenue. During the video? Yeah, during the video. Yeah, that's what I was hoping. Thank God for statute of limitations. Yeah, yeah. I was like, hey, we got to take care of it.

At that time, when Ice Diamond died, it was it for me. Right. Now, what made you think to get this kid from Black Friday? At that time When Ice Diamond died It was it for me Right Now what made you think To get this kid From Black Frack Cause look Let's predominantly Our hoods just now

Get along Like Like The dopest thing about Me and Capone's Relationship is We actually put Two hoods that

Really didn't fuck With each other That now I can't go To fucking Queensbridge Without seeing somebody From Black Frack And vice versa

And it's even worse for our hoods Because we was closer to each other So what made you say I'm going to go get this kid from left rack I mean you know going to John Bowne John Bowne That's our new true high school for people that don't know Okay but John Bowne It's like

If you're from left rack If you're from Corona If you're from Flushing that's the high school you're zoned to. Now, I never went to John Bowne, but I used to go there on freshman Friday, and I was at junior high school. It's real. It's where it's popping at. You know what I'm saying? But that's where a lot of our hoods clash.

Okay. So at that time, left fracking, Flushing, I'm talking about the beef, it was serious. A lot of people got hurt. But for some reason, me, left fracking, flushing, I'm talking about the beef was, it was serious, you know. A lot of people got hurt. But for some reason, me, I didn't care. Like, after school, I'd go to left frack. I'd go visit my man, Monty, rest in peace. You know what I'm saying?

But I would just still go. No hood scared me. I just said, I'm cool. I'm going to fit in somehow. You know what I'm saying? So that was it. I went out to left frack. And then they came to me.

So LP did the beat. I'm like, man. Easy LP? Yeah, Easy LP did it. I went out to left rack. And then they came to me. So LP did the beat. I'm like, man. Easy LP? Yeah, easy LP. All right. So he said, can we get Nori on that? I said, Nori? I said, I would love to.

I said, Capone's my cousin. Yeah, Capone is actually. They actually are real cousins. I said, maybe I can go to Capone. You know what I'm saying? Go and get it. So I was like, damn right. It ain't going to work.

It ain't going to work. So now LP reached out to Nori. Now I had to meet up with N.O. We all got in the studio or something. They was doing Blood Money or something like that. They was not going to do it. So I came to the session. And me and Nori just, that was it.

We understood our animals, but we knew what we was. You know what I'm saying? We could control them, but so much. But we knew our relationship. Ain't nothing going to happen to us. And then it made our hoods start fucking with each other. I mean,

I was bringing to my house party one time and it still started with my man. But look, as rappers, see, a lot of people

don't give us credit for shit like that because what they'll say is, you know, the bad shit that we do or whatever, but what people gotta realize is,

like, that shit, like, it settled a lot of beefs. It settled a lot of problems because how could you be mad at a person from Flushing that's hanging out with us? How could you? And it's just like vice versa. Like, I go to Queensbridge now and I just pop up and I'm like, oh, shit, Shamik here.

Oh, shit, fucking this nigga here. I'm like, oh, okay. And then vice versa. I'm in left rack. It's like y'all ambassadors and shit. It's true because, all right, don't roll it all up now. Goddamn it. Come on, I got to take something a little home.

It's hurricane season. You know y'all in a all up now, goddamn it. Come on, I got to take something a little home. It's hurricane season. You know you're out here in a hurricane? Yeah, yeah, I'm stuck. Did you feel like I lined you up? It felt like I lined you up.

I was like, yo, when you come. I said, I don't know where you're living. You said the fifth. Yo,

I felt like, when you hit me today, I was like, damn, I'm watching the news and then flash hits me. I'm like, holy moly,

guacamole, I hope you don't think I lined them up and stayed here forever because, all right, 10, I'm like, holy moly guacamole, homie don't think I lined them up and stayed here forever. Cause, alright, 10 years I lived here, you know this will be my first hurricane I actually stained for. You actually almost had a hurricane

when you did Olla Mi Canto. No, remember Def Jam flew me out. Yeah, they made that shit look like it was nice that day. Let's make some noise for Def Jam flying me out, god damn. But I was telling you, I was at the video shoot with Gil Green, I told you I gotta go to board up the store.

Right, right, right. They be serious about this hurricane shit out here. Yeah, I see. I see. We was walking down today, they had iron stills on the doors. Yeah. They trapped all these guys. Now, a couple of years back, French Montana sampled one of your records.

Uh-huh. And at first you was vocal about it. Yeah. You didn't appreciate it. Can you explain that to us and what record it was he sampled? Worldwide. He sampled the record we were just talking about? I mean, because with him I also, I knew him through a DJ called Cutmaster C.

Yeah, big mixtape DJ. So when I was doing street things, so I had a little smash crib in the Bronx and Cutmaster C used to have him come to me, you know's when ease and all I was popping me him gained our relationship you selling you selling first Montana ecstasy let's make some noise he loved me right you can call ecstasy is a great drug by the way you need to try I'm sorry did I just say that I'm sorry So I felt like he can reach out to me or whatever. I thought the song was dope. So I was just looking for a reach out.

I didn't want no money or nothing. That was dope. But then after I did that interview, I did that interview, then maybe two days later, Chinks put on Instagram, there wouldn't be no Coke Boys without this record. Roy Flush, we respect you and we love you.

So after that, that's it. That's what Luke said, too. He just wanted someone to reach out. But remember, we've been having this discussion on Drink Chance forever. It's like, you know,

when you touch somebody's record, it's that phone call that you own. Yeah, that's it. You know what I'm saying? It's like, that's the reason why, like, I heard what DMX had said about Drake,

and I heard, you know, the energy towards it, but when Drake and them reached out to me and was like, yo, we just had X on there on 40, big up to 40, reached out and was like, yo, can you get us on the phone with X? I thought that was the most honorable thing

an artist can do. It's like, even if you don't own the record, because sometimes we sample like Worldwide is a sample, so you sample something from somebody else. So it's like, even though you might not technically own the record, you own the record, you own a record because you're the one who introduced that sample

to hip-hop. And they paid homage to it. And don't dismiss how much you took of it. Like, he took it off and that's all I had was that. I have a sample left,

so I needed a little shout-out. But I said, love is love, things you go through, you know? Now, is that, because for us OGs, the quote-unquote

OGs or legends, is that what we have to get for us to feel good about people we make in our music? I accept that. Yeah, me too. Just a shout out. Yeah, shout out. I don't want none of your money. I'm straight. I'm good.

Yeah. Just acknowledge me. Just acknowledge. That's it. Just say, yo, I've got this idea. I've got this. Yeah, I agree with you. That's it.

I agree with you. Or if you do a big show, bring me out. Right, right, right. That makes you money. That makes you money. Bring me out. But I mean, in a sense, it did work. It made my record irrelevant again.

Right. So it got me back on top. Relevant again. You said irrelevant. Yeah. All right, cool. You made it relevant again. Drink some more.

You drinking that Moscow? What's that shit called, Moscow? Macau. Yeah, Macau. Big up to Benzino for providing the Moscow. The Moscow. Also, big up to our people at Monster Energy Drink. You know what I'm saying?

Definitely. And also, I want to big up to people at Xbox. What's my homeboy name? Aaron Greenberg. Aaron Greenberg. Big up Aaron Greenberg. He sounds rich. What is it?

Gears of War? I don't know. We're dyslexic. I just know that I got the new Xbox, and I know a lot of people be hating. And let's also big up my people, Johan, Johan, Johan, and Aaron. That's a rock, goddammit.

And 89. Shout out to 89. And 89, goddammit. We're always hosting us. Get them drink champ shirts. Yeah, get them drink champ shirts. So now, where we're flush. You come, you get this Cuban Connect.

Now, that record did real good for you. That record was crazy. And what people don't realize, like, a lot of people in my game that came out in my era, I only had two songs. But in hip-hop, I think I had one of the best violins and the best horns. So them two songs last me. These are people that have been out with 30 hits and still can't come to drink champs. Right, right.

Real talk, real talk. So I say them two songs worked for me. They did it. They did it. Them beats worked. The samples worked. It worked. Now, Steve Gottlieb was known for being like the guy who had a million suits who just like

to sue people. Super eccentric dude. Did that affect you in a way? Because I knew every other label kind of hated him because he always sued them. So he sued everybody. He sued everybody. He sued himself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he did. He did. He did. He saw a bank robber. Yeah, yeah. of hated him because he always sued them so he's so everybody he's through everybody i mean he was like the most disrespectful millionaire in the world yeah yeah he was

i met him with him and he was barefoot put his feet on the table he told me what they put my socks on my what what real slavery everything it all switched right he said he said yeah i got a meeting real quick you know grab my socks and put them on for me while i put my shirt on he said it cool but i'm like you think i'm really gonna just like i'm gonna roll them up and everything like you're bugging but i've never heard that like like that but after that Me and Conor You know We had our little beef Or whatever

I would just let the lawyers Or the managers go He's a smart dude Regardless The TV shit that he did TVT records That's what I mean But with the TV tunes

The cartoons No no Every show From the Brady's The TV shows He owned the music What? I thought it was just cartoons

No The Brady's show Everything All the theme songs Of all those old TV shows He owned it Must for all the TV shows. What? I thought it was just cartoons. No. This nigga owned the Brady show? No, no. All the theme songs of all those old TV shows, he owned it. Monsters, everything. Mustards? Monsters. Lucy Ball, whatever.

Monsters. Oh, I thought he owned Grey Poupon. I was about to say, what the fuck? Gilligan's Island, whatever. Yeah, Grey Poupon. All that. Yeah, he had all that. Like, if you used that shit, you had to pay him.

Damn, that's crazy. So music was like his second, third hustle. Well, you know, he also had Nine Inch Nails. Yeah, he did. That was big. He had Nine Inch Nails, too. I mean, so hip-hop wasn't shit. Right.

I mean, look, he was on a label. And he owned Scott Storch's publishing. Wow. All of it. That's right. He owned Scott Storch's publishing. I mean, the name of the label was Blurred. He had cash money clicked, then he passed on Ja, and then Ja sold 10 million.

Let's make some noise for that guy. So Steve Gottlieb, so your experience with him, and now after that you were straight independent? I mean, the contract that I signed to him, I signed until I die. What? So you still sign to him right now? Steve Gottlieb's going to come in like, Bobby! Maybe like four years ago, he filed bankruptcy, so they gave me everything back.

Wait, wait. Wait for me four years ago, nigga. I signed for 20 years. I thought you was going to say laugh out loud somewhere. Like, you're dead serious? Yeah. Get out of here. You got to tell this for these young people that's listening.

Watch what happens. I mean, at the time, he came to me, and I'm a street dude, and he gave me a check for $80,000. That's a lot. Now, with that, after you learned everything, did you blame Steve Gottlieb or you blamed Mike Geronimo? I blamed me. I blamed me. I mean, I didn't know the business. Did you have a lawyer, at least?

Yeah, but he was just making money. We was all making money. Like, I had an open budget. I had an open budget for like $250,000. So every producer that I worked with, I'd be like, yo, listen, I'm going to charge $10,000. Give me back $5,000. Right. As you should.

the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.

We take bogey breaks if you want to take a bogey break because I just want to kick it to you about, you know why? Because

you're one of the guys that's like me and what I mean by that is you fully accept the young generation. A lot of people, like we spoke earlier, a lot of people don't. You know what I'm saying?

Like you hit me and was like, you know, what's my new artist? What's my man name? Fresh. Fresh, that's my nigga. You hit me with the song. I'm like, oh, that's dope.

The New York nigga. Everything, you know, I want to keep saying his name, keep picking him up. We're going to get him over here in a little while, too, as well.

Okay. But it's dope that you're aware. And I noticed that with Jadakiss. Jadakiss, we did the Apollo. And Apollo And you know I walked in Jadakiss room He had Young M.A. in there And it's like And to me I know we spoke about it earlier

But is that what Is that what makes Us not hate the music Is because we understand it already Or is it because we understand it already or is because we understand our old position as the people that was in the forefront of music and now sitting back watching

another generation do it we understood that our generation that came before us didn't understand us like that because I don't remember this War Report as being a classic until two years later like people didn't I'm just saying I'm Report As being a classic until two years later Like people didn't I mean I'm just saying

I'm just keeping it 100 I mean but I might have not saw what y'all saw Because I was in it I didn't feel like it I didn't feel like it Listen I didn't feel like it I was still in Left Rack selling crack on 57th Avenue

In front of Vinny Pizzeria my nigga So I didn't feel like the war report was a class honestly I can only had to come out one day and say look idiot We didn't have a so for a person to hear that song you had to go perform You had to show your face Father's I went with the lost battalion yeah like people will have all of that that is from keeping a vision showing the person that gap between that is unbelievable we said again i'm sorry i said people don't understand between the vision and showing a person a vision that there's a big gap between that because for us to make our records

hot i know we had money we had to put our own stickers up. We had to put stickers up. We had 50 niggas we didn't like. But we needed more niggas with us to make sure our name got out there, my nigga. You know what I'm saying? The grind was the grind. The grind was the grind, you're saying back then. It's real. Your friend know that?

Your friend remember, your friend used to run the street teams. Yeah. That was who. The labels had the. And the mixtapes. I was doing the whole mixtape thing. Street teams is online now, right? There's no street teams anymore like that.

I'm bugging. I know, I know. And then he'll hit me. He'll just hit me like, nigga, come tomorrow. Of course. Like, shit. God damn it. Wait a minute.

I didn't send everybody out right. Give me next week. You know what I'm saying? I knew I knew, but I'm happy to be here. Nah, but it's like, it's like I said, two singles, yo.

That's it. Yeah, nah, but it's like, for doing something for so long. Like, it was one time, I remember we were recording Moose and May's album. And Moose and May stepped to Pharrell and was like, yo, I want to pay for a beat. And Pharrell was like, I'm not doing hip-hop right now.

I thought that was the most disrespectful shit ever to say in the world at that time. But in a lot of ways, Pharrell is older than me. He is older than me, but in a lot of ways, Pharrell is older than me. Even if he's not, he is older than me, but in a lot more ways. Like, at certain times, he just had to take a break from hip-hop. I didn't understand that then. I was like, you fighting on my people. You know what I'm saying? And now I'll be like, sometimes I'll be like, I ain't doing hip-hop this week.

I be saying that. But you know what I mean. It's like, I don't want to listen to no music. I don't want to be in that mood. know what I mean It's like I don't want to listen to no music I don't want to be in that mood Yeah, no, I get it It's like I don't want to go to shows I don't want to no more

It's like I'd rather stay home Do the podcast Drink my ass off And What the fuck So I kind of lost certain love For certain things

Have you? Have you? Or you still feel blessed? That's why you signed the album. This is hip-hop regardless. What we do here is hip-hop. See, a nigga that signed the album for 20 years always felt lucky. That is the real shit.

That nigga said, fuck it, man. I'm going to make money. Sign me for 200 years. It's fine. You know what I'm saying? But see, you know what it was with me. I kept seeing the contracts And trying to make it Trying to change it And trying to do other things

So A lot of the I tell the artists I tell the new artists Like this Find somebody you trust And never learn the business Cause if you learn the business

If you got a nigga That's in there That you trust And you know He gonna keep it A hundred with you You will be the best artist ever.

Look at an artist when an artist ever looks at his contract, it fucks up their creativity. It fucks it up. And I don't want to name artists, but anybody that you love that's an artist and they realize their record label is doing something wrong to them or their record label

is holding up their project fucks up. Look at me. I'm an example. Melvin Flint. Melvin Flint. My heart was not there. I mean, a lot of us think it's still a classic album. It's still a good album. But it wasn't even my record label at that point. It was me dealing with the deaths

of Pun and the deaths of my father and getting money that I had to, I felt obligated I had to make. But at the end of the day, the album was compromised. There's still days I listen to it and be like, those Missy vocals, I should have did those over. You know what I'm saying?

There's still things that I was like, there's things that Pharrell and track masters had to store in me, an N.R.E. album that I didn't respect during Melvin Flynn album. You know what I'm saying? That, so I can never look at this album, even if you, you love this album. There was a certain time in your life.

It was a certain point that wasn't right. And, and, but that was a part of me starting to learn the business instead of me falling into, staying in the creative zone. You understand? The business is fucked up. It is, though. It's a fucked up business. It is.

I mean, but... But you got a lot of pussy, though. Keep it real. Yeah, I fuck half... Yeah, I'm married now. Oh, yeah, but let's talk about the... Half the world. Here's the ashtray right here.

Don't ask on the drink channel. What is that, armadillo shit? Yeah, that is... That smells hard, man. That is... Here, roll another one for us. That shit is hard. That's hot gorilla glue from Las Vegas. I bought it back by mistake.

What, the gun? Yo, I go in my bag. I got a mad butt in my bag. And I realize Ali gave me mad butt in Vegas. I take the butt. I put it in my bag. I never check my bag again. I come home. I go in my pockets. I never check my bag again. I come home.

I go in my pockets. I got blinds here. Rolled already. I got Gorilla Glue because I didn't like the Gorilla Glue in Vegas, but I still took it because he gave it to me for free. It was for free and I'm a grimy nigga. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, the conversation got awkward. I'm sorry.

It's all right. Let me be fair with it. So what's next for Royal Flush at this point? I mean, right now, though, I say, you know, like I said, I just learned how to sell myself. So all the money, a lot of money I made streetwise, I said, a lot of these artists, everybody wants a little paper. Fuck it. If that's what you do, you get paper, everybody wants a little paper. So I sat down with my brother and I said, yeah, we got to do an album.

So I said, fuck it, we're going to go on your back, go on our back. It might hurt us, but let's do it. So we said, fuck it, we're going to do a last album, get on Millionaire, all cards on the table. So I went. That was the end of the first album, right? Yeah, but the second album was all cards on the table. I'm just going to let it out, anything. So I went, I got end of the first album right Yeah but the second album Was all cards on the table I was gonna let it out Everything

So I went I got Pete Rock I went and got Premier I went and got Large Professor Went and got Buck Wild Went and got Went and got a couple people

Classic niggas And then I went and got Uncle Murder Dave East Marv Deep You know what I'm saying Nori So I worked on it like that

You know what I mean I had to pay niggas Sounds? I had to pay niggas. Sounds classic. I had to pay niggas. I mean, Uncle Murder gave me a good deal. A couple niggas in charge a little higher,

but you know, whatever it is though. I mean, fuck it. If this is going to be my craft and it's going to be my last time, let's put a little money on it. I'm thinking about

doing a last album too. A good one. A last one and just tell y'all niggas, fuck y'all niggas for life. That's it. I mean, that's what I'm doing.

You'll never see me at a show again. Because I see, you know why I'm doing. You'll never see me at a show again. I mean, shit, man. Because I see, you know why I'm flush? The only reason why I asked you, because I see certain artists, and I feel like it's unfair to the fans. Like, I've been watching certain artists lately, and I've been backstage, and I've been seeing certain artists

who've been doing it for 20 years, and they'll perform, and they got a smile for the fans, they're just so happy. But as soon as they stage right, them niggas be like the Kanye face. You ever seen the Kanye face? He's like, and as soon as he see him, it was like, I be seeing artists like, you know, artists that people

really look up to. People, you know, I'm looking and I see that. It's like, damn, that's kind of being fake. I don't want to do that. If I don't want to be somewhere no more, because when you feel obligated to be somewhere, any little thing could tick you the fuck off. And I just kind of starting to lose the love.

I'm starting to feel like Pharrell. I'm not doing hip-hop this week. Again. But this is hip-hop, regardless. I know, but it ain't no music. Let me tell you something that automatically as a musician, But this is hip-hop, regardless. I know, but it ain't no music. Let me tell you something, that automatically as a musician,

automatically as a musician, I can't do nothing else in life and listen to music at the same time. Because as an artist, I take it apart. So if I'm playing, if you notice, every time we played Spades in your office back in the days,

anytime I ever played, there was never music on. I would always be like, ah, I'm not playing if there's music on. I don't know if I remember that. Well, I'm telling you, because I'm petty like that. I got to win. I got to win. I can't win, because if you play music, whether it's 90s, I'm going to remember this. On that night.

When Main Source came out. You playing some Main Source. I'm not listening to it Like the average person Is listening to it I'm listening to it Like thinking of Flushing Meadow Park

I'm thinking of Motherfucking Main Street I'm thinking of You know certain things Take your mind off Of what you're trying to do Yeah and I can't focus Like so

It's cause I'm too involved As a musician I know you suffer From the same shit Nah I do I can't even say nothing After that Take a shot man

You look like you need a shot. I had like 12, man. I was going too fast. But I'm waiting for that cigarette break. Oh, you want a cigarette? All right, let's get to the cigarette break. When we come back, we do another 10 minutes and we good. Let's do it.

When? We were at the Bad Boy concert? Nah, the next day, remember? We were at the bar afterwards. We went to eat the crawfish. After the bar. And then right after, when you left, he left. And then, see, look, I think he fell right now.

All right. No, I didn't think. I didn't think. I think we got drunk together, man. You know what? That's what you think. We realized that, you know, it was a great trip. We wanted to appreciate our people.

Yo you do you So if I actually They 100% Motivated me If what I heard is true That Duck Down Is involved

They definitely were involved At some point for sure That's what I would want to do With new artists It's like A guy like him I would be like I would get involved

But I would I would never be involved Exactly That's the main guy like him. I would be like, I would get involved, but I would never be involved. Exactly. That's the main thing, you know what I'm saying? This is a new era, man. Let me make the music that attracted you to me. You know what I'm saying? If it's working, look at the streets.

I got the streets running. It works. Let me work. You get what I'm saying? Now, what you expecting out the game? Oh, man. I'm just, man. You want to be independent or you want to be?

No, no, it's not. It's just the money got to be right. You know what I'm saying? We got a bunch of suitors. You know what I'm saying? We got labels saying they signed me already. I got a text from my congrats. I said, congrats what?

Yeah, I heard you signed the old word. That's what he's saying. You know what I'm saying? So, I'm blessed, though, man. I'm happy to be here. You feel me? But what I want out the game, man, you got to pay me right first. You know what I'm blessed though, man. I'm happy to be here. You feel me? But when I want out the game, you got to pay me right first. You know what I'm saying?

I'm in a position to dictate my next move. You know what I'm saying? I don't got to rush. I'm getting checks every night. I don't got to rush nothing. So it's just a matter of the paper being right and the numbers being right. You get what I'm saying? Because at the end of the day, you got to pay that back.

It's about what some numbers look like on an album. What some numbers look like on a CD. You know what I'm saying? So it's just smart enough, open the end of the day, you got to pay that back. It's about what some numbers look like on an album. What some numbers look like on a CD. You know what I'm saying? So it's just, you know, smart enough, open the market up type shit. Right, smart enough. That's what's up, man. And you know what? The best advice I could give you is love the game.

Because sometimes it ain't about the money. It's definitely not about the money. Sometimes it's not in the long run. But, you know, how old are you? I got 27. 27. Let's make some noise. Let me try to watch I got 27. 27. Let's make some noise. I think you're the first nigga under 30 that been here.

Corey Guns is even older. Corey Guns is not 100 in my mind. In my mind, Corey Guns is not 100. He older than his wife sometimes. To me in my mind. That's my nigga. Big up Corey Guns. But yeah, so look his wife sometimes. To me and my mom. That's my nigga. Big up, Corey Guns. But, yeah.

So, look. I mean, this is dope because, you know, we know our show is based on legends. But the thing about it is we know we can't get through a whole season without showing love to the young generation at some point. And I'm glad that it could be you. I'm glad that it could be a guy from New York. And you say from Brooklyn, East New York. I've been locked up with nothing but East New York niggas and they all have bodies.

And they all have bodies in jail. So please, please don't catch a body. Don't get bodied out there. Get the fuck out of East New York. Get the fuck out of East New York. Nah, that's a fact. Yeah, move to nice places in Long Island and Jersey. I'm asking you for a place

right now, so, yeah. Well, big up my niggas from East New York, but they even know what I'm talking about. I'm from Bama's, man. I don't know if you're familiar. Bama's, like,

that's the ultimate slums. Like, you know, you got East New York, the slums, and then you got the mud. And that's where I'm from, Bama's, you feel me? Like, it's rough, man.

It's tough. Man, so I really wish you the best of luck, my brother. Appreciate it. I hope you go out there and you kill him and you get him. I think that Royal Flush

needs to be involved some way. I think he feels like he's leaning on management or something. You gotta do something like that, Flush. Let's make it happen right now.

You gotta do something. How about, because, you know why, like I said, with the duck down, me hearing that and seeing the, if what I heard is correct, them just letting her do it, I feel like that is one of the smartest industries ever. You know what I'm saying?

Because the thing is, is we got to let the young generation be young. But that's the thing, why the older generation, we need to let them, them Like they don't have to do Go through all the wrongs That we did We could teach them Exactly And that's what I think Doug Downer's bringing to the table Like Joey Badass

Yes Young M.A. But Doug Downer's not involved With Joey Badass Yes No I didn't hear that I definitely didn't hear that one

He signed to a little label Nah No but they get involved At some point They consult in the situation I don't know the details But they get involved At some point

If you have no paperwork with nobody, nobody's helping on the side? Now, we have somebody helping on the side. Yeah, exactly.

Gazi, move it. Everybody. Yeah, yeah. Gazi, he's like, you can't mess right now. You're talking to Gazi right now.

You get what I'm saying? Gazi's the truth. And he just said, yo, Apple put you on this big list. What's up? I'm going to get Spotify. What? Yeah. But now, is Gazi involved with just hiring the radio, or he's involved because he's acting as the label until the label comes out? Yeah, exactly. He's acting as the label until the label comes in?

Yeah, exactly. He's acting as the label until the label comes in. That's a great situation. He's a great fucking guy. He's a great guy. That's my man. That's my dude. He got all the way up under his belt right now.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I introduced him to Fat Joe. He got wrecked. Okay, yeah, yeah. Slam. I feel like I'm in a good situation with guys like you. The plug. The plug. You know what I mean? I said it a good situation with Gazi. The plug. The plug.

You know what I mean? I said it on Very Flush, you know, back a long time ago. You know, Cuban connection. You know what I'm saying? That's the plug. You know what I mean? I'm the connection, my nigga. I said it.

That was the plug. I knew I was the plug back then. I'm sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know. But, yeah, big up Gazi. Big up Empire. Young brother, I wish you the best of luck, man.

Appreciate it, man. I really wish you Just hand that for me I love I love to see new artists You know what I love About new artists I got a new artist glow

And at some point You're going to be miserable Just throwing it out there It's so true We got a long time It's so true You got to think about it Even a porno

Even if you got your dicks up For ten years straight On camera That's a fact After a while You're going to be like porno Even if you got your dicks up For ten years straight On camera That's a fact After a while You're going to be like I don't want to get my dicks up No more

It's true Like I'm just saying If you're a porno star So the thing about it is You got a great You know Five to ten years Where you're going to

Really really really love it And then at some point You're going to come to a point Where you're just like Damn And it ain't about finances. It's just about being tired of doing something. So my greatest suggestion is do all you can do, but also do other things.

You know what I'm saying? So you don't have, you know, there's people, like I spoke to an artist earlier today, and he was like, you know, it was so old school. Because he was like, yeah, because I got a rereading about getting this album out. And it was just like, what? Like, to me, I was just like, damn. Like, we still got to do that in these times? And Dame said that to me on my own podcast.

Like, you still got to do that? And then it didn't hit me until I heard somebody else say that. Like, certain people, they did this for so long that they only know how to put an album out and make money. That's it. If they don't put an album out and make money,

they don't do side movies. They don't do anything else. They don't, they just do their prices of the shows and that's it. They don't, you know what I mean?

They're so stuck. They're so old school that, and it's like, but they're not, they're not broke. That's a fact. They're not old school That And it's like But they're not They're not broke That's a fact They're not broke But it's just like

Damn What They only have one hustle And it's just like It's just like Yo let me just get this album out Let me hurry up And get this album out

And I was just like It made me reminisce And it was just like Damn It's so much more to this Because music is just A stepping stone You know what I'm saying It's just one more than this because music is just a stepping stone you

know i'm saying it's just one thing for you to own this company now or for you to be you know running your own show so this company pays you you know what i'm saying i'm saying like that's what it's all about it's about you know being well-rounded and because anything in life you're going to be bored at it you're going to get it i don don't give a fuck. Like I just said, a nigga can get his dicks up every day. That's fine. 17 times for 20 years. And that nigga's going to be like, I don't... He going to want to eat your ass. That's it.

That's all he's going to want to do. I don't give my dicks up no more. All I do is eat your ass. That's it. That's all he can pledge to the nigga now. Because the nigga just fucked out. You understand what I'm saying? That's my advice to you welcome to play it a new podcast network featuring radio and tv personalities talking business sports

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.

shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary.

At the end of the day At the end of the day Make sure whatever you're doing You love what you're doing Yeah That's all that matters Just so it doesn't get twisted This is. Just so it doesn't get twisted. This is art.

Just so it doesn't get twisted. This is art. Make sure you love your art. Let me tell you something. I was bugging when he said that he couldn't play spades and listen to music at the same time. Right. Before I was deep in this music shit. Right.

I couldn't do anything and listen to music at the same time because I dissected it too much. You're a real artist. I was bugging. You're a real artist. This is before like I was before I started rapping right I said yo I was destined to do this shit I was an athlete but straight into safety while receiving you know what I'm saying but I couldn't play the game or do anything and listen to music because I was too knee deep in the lyrics I took this shit and I envisioned it whatever I heard I you know, you know, it was, you killed me when you said that. You killed me when you said that. You know what I'm saying? So you'll see how, how much, how serious I take this art shit. You know what I'm saying? My grandfather was a poet.

My pops was an artist. I take this shit serious. You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, you're not going to jerk me at the same time. I love that. And that's all it was. It's not about the money. It's about, it's about spreading, you know, delivering to jerk me at the same time. I love you. And that's all it was. It's not about the money. It's about

spreading, you know, delivering a message. You get what I'm saying? Because you can't tell my story. You understand? And now it's time to talk about shit that I've experienced, my family, and so much. You know what I'm saying? So I'm up. It's so much I want to give the world. You know what I'm saying? But at the same time, I want to pay

while I'm doing it. That's all it was about. It's not all about the money. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Love what you do. You know what I'm saying? That's all it was. I just. I want to be paid while I'm doing it. That's all it was about. It's not all about the money. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Love what you do. You know what I'm saying? That's all it was. I just don't want to get twisted.

Yo, money, money, money. Nah, it ain't that type of party. You get what I'm saying? But you got to make a living. Yeah, exactly. What would you rather do? Would you rather maintain independent or would you want to go to a label? See, I don't have a rather.

You see, that's like a tough question. Go to that label, nigga. Don't say that. Fuck that independent shit. It's so much. I tell people all the time. Check it out. I tell people all the time.

Real quick. I like Gazi, but he just came around. Stay independent. But my thing is, okay, they say, yo, you get more. Listen, even if you get less with a label, you still make it more because it's more of a bigger time. That's it. I like that, young man. Don't get this percentage from me.

You know what I'm saying? Seriously. It balances out. Exactly. So, yeah, it's no rather. It's what suits you. Do me right. It's what suits you.

If you allow me to just make me, because that's at the end of the day. And you can make it independent, but your grind is going to be that much harder. For the hell, yeah. And listen, you can do it. And you can build an empire better than anybody can. But I'm going to just tell you,

your grind... And I'm going to just tell you, I'm going to tell you how ill my grind is. I wake up in the morning sometimes just to beat my seven-year-old son to the bathroom. Because I don't want him to use the bathroom. First of all, he should be sleeping downstairs in his own room.

But the nigga's sleeping next. He got to wear some chain now, too. He got to wear some chain. This means some good shit. But he's sleeping next to my room in his own other little room. And he just come in and violate sometimes and just piss on my toilet seat. Like, come on, you seven. You got to get it together.

You got to get it together. You understand? But my grind is so good, I wake up. And I'm telling you, independent is real. I get it. It is because one thing about being on a label, if you commit to something and you don't go there, you can always blame the label.

But independent is ownership. It's ownership. That's true. So if you have your shit together, you own that forever. But listen, you can own 100% of nothing. What suits you and your team? So what I'm trying to tell you is when you fuck up an independent and you say, I'm going

to be at this place at this certain time and you don't show up. It's a wrap. It's a wrap. They don't take it out on nobody else. They 100 percent take it out on you. And I get it. And that one station that you missed, that you didn't know because you was getting high or getting fucked with some bitches, and you showed up 57 minutes late, they own 57 stations.

So you fucked up because you thought this was the rock station. Or you thought this was the country shit and this was the extra shit. But when you independent, that one station will be neat, though. I get it. First, I'm giving out game, right? I'm learning something.

Don't be like that. I appreciate it. I'm learning something. You get shut down. But I'm that now. If you got the grind in you, you know what? You got the new artist feel. The new artist flush.

They'll go out and like... That's what I recognize because I know it. You see that glow? You got it. I'm talking to him. I be schooling him. My nigga listen, that door is short. Come back, come back.

I've been kicking with him all day. That's the real shit. Now I'm so happy to be around a nigga's shit. I'm a fan, but I've also been giving him some knowledge because I know that he's going to get it. He got it. You've been through it. You've been through it.

You've been through it. That's what it is, man. Never lose yourself. Be who you are. Love what you do. Do what you love. Thank you. And motherfucking be happy about it You know what I'm saying

There's so many people That have been in this game For so many years And they're miserable people And they're not broke Shit look who we got next I ain't talking about Because a lot of people think

A lot of people think Your happiness is based on financial And that's not I know rich Unhappy motherfuckers I know motherfuckers that They so used to drama that they don't, their life ain't complete unless they had drama because that's all they used to. And to me.
