And this is Drinks Champ's motherfucking podcast.
Make some noise!
And right now, we got the number one prolific Honduras.
We got lingo going on here.
The number one celebrity from Honduras. We got lingo going on here. The number one
celebrity from Honduras.
Definitely number one.
Definitely number one in hip hop.
You like the fabulous
of Honduras and hip hop.
He's out
there stomping them. He's made
podcasts where podcasts are supposed
to be for street dudes and for
overall knowledge and things that's happening in the game.
Helped our podcast by convincing you.
By convincing me.
By doing his podcast.
And then not only that,
he's back-to-back to the craziest interviews right now.
You could definitely call him a journalist.
He makes East New York proud.
Niggas call me a journalist.
He makes East New York proud.
Right now we got my friend, podcast guard, Taxone in the motherfucking building.
Now, I always love having people like you on the show.
One, because you're my dude, but two, because you already did the show.
So now, we can really talk about what's going on in the industry.
And that's what I feel like the industry...
And when we did the show, we hadn't even launched our show
officially at all. He told us we'll never be back in that CBS
building.
Did you even think we had a chance in the podcast world at all?
He said, yeah, niggas ain't coming back.
It was too whispery.
I'm not a whisperer.
Whispers is for...
Yeah, he brought a salad to our podcast.
He definitely wasn't thinking...
During our podcast,
to show him,
like, you know,
do the same thing,
but, you know,
no, it didn't happen.
It didn't work out,
but we got taxed
on in the motherfucking building.
You just had one of the two
craziest interviews
back to back.
I want to get to one of them
because it seems like to me,
or maybe this is the facts,
you had Beans on first.
Yeah.
Boom.
Then you had Oskino,
correct? Yeah. Then an incident happened had Beans on first. Boom. Then you had Oskino, correct? Yeah.
Then an incident happened
and Beans returned. So was those
episodes back to back to back or was it
an episode in between?
It was an episode
in between.
And actually, I had
reached out to Beans. Kenneth Montgomery, right?
Kenneth Montgomery. I'm on point.
I'm a fan. That's a fact.
And I reached out to Beans for something, and they never reached back.
And Beans reached out to me because I sent a text to somebody he deal with,
and I basically told him, I was like, yo, always remember Styles P. Said,
sitting at the table planning. Plug the fan in.
Let the sweat dry off.
Then grab the can.
Then grab the can.
And I heard Beans quote that.
Yeah, so he was quoting me.
I had text that to them.
Because he was raised up for locks, boss.
Let's make some noise for that.
I was raised up for locks.
Make some noise for that.
You know, that's New York City shit.
New York City shit.
You know, it just New York City shit. New York City shit. So, you know, it just was like, yo, you know,
because, you know, in situations like that,
sometimes you deal with emotions,
and you might jump out your skin.
You might do shit that's irrational,
you know, not irrational.
So I'm like, yo, just, you know, sit back, my nigga.
And then they reached back out and was like,
yo, Beans want to come on the show tonight
and i was going now was you shocked by that because um like usually when like something
happens in hip-hop somebody give me a lighter like most people would go lay low like he didn't lay
low it was like pretty much the next day almost right like two three days maybe it was like two
three and that's a day on the internet yeah that's like two three days but it was like i was like two three and that's a day on the internet yeah two three days but it was like
i was like you know and i really me personally i don't like to promote the drama right on the show
i like to promote the solution because the thing is is that i know that most men deal with pride
so a lot of niggas don't want to die but they gotta act like they want to die just so they can live. You understand what I'm saying?
And what's dope about the interview
is that you kind of let
him air it out.
You didn't really stop
or interrupt him.
Why was that important for you to just
let him get it off
his chest? Somebody hit me,
like a journalist hit me and was like, yo,
you did an impeccable
interview because you fell back and let them speak and he said you know most journalists or
interviewers feel that you got to jump in and get involved because they feel like they're not
involved in their own interview and it was the craziest shit i heard because that was the real
reason why i jumped in shit in interviews was for that purpose because I felt like I wasn't involved.
And when you're going to be proactive before.
Yeah, that's the reason that I always do it.
Right.
Because I do it.
You know what I mean?
I'll be like, you're talking too long.
So when they said that, I was like, damn, I didn't notice.
And I didn't know.
Right.
So, you know, I was like, damn, I didn't know this, and I didn't know. So I was like, you know what, let me go back and study, because I am a studier, but I never studied interviewing people.
You know what I mean?
I always felt like I could just speak to people and just get shit out of them.
That's what Combat Jack said about him, that you take criticism well.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I love criticism.
I say shit to people
so they could tell me
the worst thing
they think about me.
Right.
Just so I could work on it.
You know what I mean?
So people sometimes be like,
yo,
you always coming at people.
Like,
I come at groups of people.
Like,
you know what I mean?
Just on purpose.
And I be like,
yo,
fuck Dominicans today.
You know what I mean?
And niggas be like,
yo,
what the fuck is good?
And like,
some of my best friends is Dominican. You know what I mean? And niggas be like, yo, what the fuck is good? And like, some of my best friends
is Dominican.
You know what I mean?
They know I ain't mad,
but I'm just,
it's just,
I like to do it.
I study.
I like to study shit.
So,
I study human reaction.
now how do you,
how do you take yourself
from you being a street nigga
then you interviewing
a street nigga
or you,
like when you interview
these people,
you know,
sometimes you become
a part of the story.
Like,
how do you like not involve interview these people you know sometimes you become a part of the story like how do you like not uh involve yourself too much because at the end of the day you like i don't want to say beef but like you pride yourself become a part of the story what's going
on so sometimes how do you how do you get the story without being becoming a part of the story
i'm not i'm not a part of it. And that's just how, you know,
everybody got to realize it.
Like, I don't give a fuck
who it is,
who I'm interviewing or whatever.
I'm not a part of it.
If I was a part of it, you would know.
You're never going to have to think about it.
You're never going to have to say,
I wonder if tax feels this way about me.
You're going to know how I feel about you your mama gonna know your baby
mother and a couple more close in Brenda's gonna know about it
Brenda and Keisha going to bring up the Brenda and Keisha somewhere in the
project but I'm out here for that
So you know
That's what it is
But have you ever
Interviewed an artist

Me too.
You know, if you niggas understand industries, then you would understand.
Right.
But you probably don't.
One day you will.
It's too late at that point.
Yeah.
Because our fans is dumb and they hate when I say that.
Break it down. That's no reason. Shout out to the dumb and they hate when I say that. Break it down.
Shout out to the dumb fans, man.
When I say shout out to the dumb fans, I'm not meaning the smart fans.
If you smart and you got a college degree, you can skip this.
That's not your shout out.
Shout out to the smart niggas too.
We appreciate y'all sometimes.
Go ahead.
The podcast industry is new.
It's very new.
It's only like 11 years, maybe 12 years in.
Because I got top 23 podcasts of the last 10 years in podcasting two years ago.
And it was only out 10 years at that point.
That's a new industry.
So if you understand industries, industries is, you know, the
prohibition with alcohol and

That's the real question.
I mean, man, when people ask you.
You ain't seen when we had 50 on here?
I thought that was like mandatory.
Why you going to open it when it's not open?
50 not only ate eggs, but 50 was talking about getting his ass ate.
And he took it to a universe.
That's bigger than 50 cent, man.
That's real because I never got done.
But I got friends that don't care.
He's like, I get my ass ate.
I'm not into that. I don't ever want to get there.
I pray every day.
I don't.
But there's certain niggas that be lifting their legs up too.
I've heard those stories.
No, he got his ass ate. He's Spanish.
He had to get his ass ate before.
Nah, I shit too much, man.
I shit too much. He hasn't hit his ass before. No, I said too much, man. I said too much.

But, like, you know,
in the hood, niggas get knocked out every day, B.
You know what I'm saying?
And the most gangstas nigga get knocked out
and then come back outside, he hanging.
But in this day and time, it's something
that the people frown upon.
Because on the internet, it's every day you get knocked out.
That's the problem with the internet.
It's pussy niggas that's judging it anyway.
So it ain't like it's no...
Any nigga that been in the streets
know you take L's.
It's about what you do after your L.
It ain't about the L.
I remember Shaq Glizzy, he got robbed.
And I seen nerd niggas that I knew was nerds.
Like, oh, this pussy nigga got robbed.
I was like, nigga, any nigga could get robbed.
Any nigga.
It's what you do after the robbery.
It ain't about the about you know what I mean
like I don't
like I'm not a fan
of that
because I know
you better listen
if it's there
if a nigga got a
fucking desert
in your face
and he telling you
take your shit off

Exactly.
He ain't been home in forever.
But also, but also,
you know,
speaking of Roc Nation,
I got to see a great picture.
I got to see a great
Insta Snap today.
We seen Jay-Z
together with DMX.
That's crazy.
And Ja Rule.
And X look like
he stepped out of 1998.
I'm not,
I'm going to just keep it a hundred.
Like,
he just still look like 1998.
Like,
that cypher just happened
between him and Jay-Z. No, that was in 1986. That cipher just happened between him and James.
That was in 1986.
But he looked like...
It was so dope, man, to see these three dudes
together. I've just seen X in Vegas.
X did tell us no.
He was like, no.
I bust out laughing.
I was like, this is the only time I got to sit down.
Do it in his voice.
He was like, what are we going to talk about, dawg?
I was like, oh, stop. He was like, what are we going to talk about, dog? I was like, I'm sorry.
He was like, who, dog?
He was like, hey, we're talking about it.
We're talking about it.
He was like, you know, that was a straight up dog language.
Shut us down.
Shut us down.
So big up to DMS.
I love that brother so much.
But they was hanging out.
Jay-Z, Ja Rule, DMX, DJ Khaled.
Murder Inc.
I seen Pat Poose backstage, I seen Mike
Kaiser, big up Mike Kaiser, y'all follow
him, Little Burger, cut the check Mike Kaiser,
but,
but, side note,
did I say that out loud? Alright, but
what do you
feel when you see that? Was you a fan of the
original or what Murder Inc. was supposed to be?
Because those are the three brothers, right? It's supposed to be
those three. When they was the group Murder, Inc.
That's what I'm saying, the group Murder, Inc.
Not the record label. That was supposed to be the group
Murder, Inc. That shit was legendary.
That was legendary. I seen
that shit by mistake, just scrolling.
I said, what the fuck?
You just now talked about the new picture? Yeah. Oh, okay.
I was like, that shit was nuts.
Like, just to see that. When you saw it, did you think it was
the old school picture?
For a moment.
Yeah, because Jay just looked plain, all black on, and X looked like 1998.
But I knew because Jay Collar wasn't big enough.
He had some Versace on.
He had something like some expensive shit.
I'm sorry.
Ja jacket wasn't cheap enough.
Nah, it wasn't cheap.
Back then, it would have looked cheaper.
But J collar wasn't big enough.
If it was big, I would have thought it was back in the day.
So I pay attention to detail.
That's a super detail.
I was like, oh, all right.
Nah, because you got to know, because if you go throw on a throwback button up From back in the day It ain't going to look right today
You understand?
You put that shit on now
Nigga might think you fucking
You know, you a church deacon
Right, right
But what did you see when you see
What did you see when you seen that flick?
Like, was it something like
Damn, that's what hip-hop
You know what?
I knew it was going to happen, though.
I knew.
Niggas is all in a mature level.
Just so the people know, when I went to Roc Nation, they asked me for the NLX contact,
and I was with Ali, and I said, it's right there.
You're claiming this.
You're claiming this.
I was claiming it.
You're claiming this.
I had to throw that out there a little bit.
You're the Kofi on hip-hop?
I've been like the fake plug lately.
I've been like the fake plug.. I've been like the fake plug.
Because, yo, I don't want to plug everything.
Like, people have been calling me the squash girl beef.
I'm like, uh-uh.
I don't squash.
See, a nigga, you can always squash a nigga beef.
Because you got to be like, yo, you know, they got to respect you.
You know what I'm saying?
Mutual respect.
But chicks don't respect nobody.
Don't ever try to squash no girl beef.
I'm just keeping it hot.
And you can't do nothing to them if they don't respect you.
Like, if I was to put Joe on the phone and whatever, I had to get that word from Joe, like, you sure, right?
Like, everything is good.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
You can't do that with a girl.
You're going to be like, are you sure?
And then she'll be like, yeah.
And then she'll get on the phone and be like, fuck you, bitch.
What you going to do to her afterwards?
You're going to be like, word, I'm not speaking to you for six months.
Like,
you can't do nothing to her.
So,
yeah,
so I don't want to,
that's why I'm saying the fake plug.
I'm like the,
right?
So you made it happen.
Let's just go back to that.
No,
I can't say I made it happen.
Indirectly.
I made the,
the connection.
But Ali,
you want the credit.
Let's give it to Ali.
No,
let's give it to Ali.
Ali,
you gave him the Ali.
When they asked,
I gave them right to Ali. Okay. Ali gave them X and it happened tonight, man. Yeah. let's give it to Ali. You gave him the Ali. When they asked, I gave them right to Ali.
Ali gave them X and it
happened tonight, man.
During the hurricane. We're hurricane-ing out here
and Tax Stone is out here. That's a fact.
Middle of the hurricane.
So now, Tax, you
got two artists, correct?
I grew up rough.
Right.
But you got Manolo Rose, who I feel is going to be,
and people don't fuck me up when I say it like this.
Melody-wise, he's like our New York Young Thug.
Melody-wise.
I don't care what you think about Young Thug.
I don't care if you hate him, love him.
But that kid got one of the illest melody games in the game.
It's so funny.
You said that.
I was on a plane today, and his song came on,
Never Will I Cheat on You.
And I'm listening to this shit, and I said,
God damn, this shit is good.
Yeah, do what I'm saying.
Even if you hate his subject matter, you hate his vocals,
you'll be leaving like,
I'm listening to Young Thug.
Like, his melodies.
That's how we felt about Fresher the other day.
We still singing that shit.
He's still singing that shit.
What was it?
Wait, wait, wait.
We had Fresher on for the last two minutes.
I just started getting into that record when I first heard it.
That record is hot.
When I first heard it, I didn't like it.
And then...
He from East New York, too.
My homegirl kept playing it.
Yeah, that's why I'm going to reach out to him.
Because I'm tough on niggas from my neighborhood
more than anybody.
Right.
Because I got people
in my neighborhood
that think I owe them shit.
And it's like,
man, I'll slap the shit out you.
I owe you nothing.
Shout out to East New York,
the place full of killers.
Everybody's a killer there,
even the babies.
Shout out to
Slap in the Shit Out of You.
Babies come out
the pussy and just
they give them a gun.
It's like that
in East New York. It's like that in East New York.
It's like that.
From the pink houses everywhere.
It's going down.
But yeah, so we had, so Manolo Rose.
But then you got the one of the new artists.
I ain't say this about a new artist in a long time.
That I believe.
I believe Casanova.
But his name is like a little, like, don't that mean love, Casanova but his name is like a little
don't that mean love Casanova
what do you believe though I don't know
that nigga said niggas trying to book me for a watch
now anybody getting shot
I'm like that's exactly how I would feel
niggas trying to book me
I'm shooting everybody like I'm an ex-shooter
I'm like I'm trying to lead that career alone
but
if a nigga trying to book that career alone. But, but, like,
if a nigga
trying to book me,
oh,
get anybody,
get,
he's a,
fuck boy,
you don't run.
It's like,
oh,
I feel that shit
in my soul.
Like,
like,
I believe,
that's why I believe him.
Like,
you know,
that's a good record
because
there's so much,
you know,
there's so much,
um,
you know,
niggas that's out here
getting money
and doing they thing.
Niggas trying to get booked for they watch. That they, you know, they feelas is out here getting money and doing their thing. Niggas trying to get booked for their watch.
You know, they feel, they paranoid when they go out.
And they worry about niggas trying to run up on them, robbing them.
And they feel that way.
They like, nigga, you trying to book me for my shit.
Everybody getting shot in there.
You know what I mean?
And now everybody getting shot.
That shit right there.
That shit come on.
I be like, I'm in the 90s and shit. I'm like, damn, I getting shot? That shit right there. That shit come on. I'll be like. I'll be like, that shit make me.
I'm in the 90s and shit.
I'm like, damn, I got a rubber watch.
These niggas ain't trying to book me.
But I'm just like, you niggas got that?
Niggas like, what?
He got that energy.
You know what I mean?
That energy, like, that shit is real authentic New York.
But still, like, because New York, we had to kind of adapt the sound Of like The trap music
But made our own version
Of trap
And I actually love that
And I think that
I think that kid
Is ill
So now
Y'all deal is to

And y'all managed to catch him over the go?
Yeah.
Yes.
Let's make some noise for Joe Addis.
He's so cool.
You don't even look white.
What's your nationality?
I'm white.
You're white?
All right.
He's white.
He didn't even try to...
He's white.
I thought you was white mixed with D'Angelo.
Jersey Shore shit.
My aunts have Puerto Ricans.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought you was going to hit us with one of those. Hold on. Yeah, who blunt is this? is white mixed with D'Angelo. Jersey Shore shit. My aunts have Puerto Ricans.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think they hit us with one of those.
Hold on.
Yo, who blunt is this?
Take this shit from me.
I'm so hot.
Jesus Christ.
That's no problem.
So we're going to keep
talking hip-hop.
Yo, let's talk hip-hop
because Nori is a troublemaker.
Nah, nah, nah.
Tax is a troublemaker.
Let's talk about Nori.
I think both of y'all
motherfuckers are troublemakers.
Let's talk about Nori.
But that's why we get along. Let's talk about Nori getting PD and Oskino on here. Nah, but, taxes is troublemaking. Let's talk about Nori. I think both of y'all motherfuckers is troublemakers. Let's talk about Nori. But that's why we get along.
Let's talk about Nori getting PD and Oskino on here.
Nah, but I was supposed to have beans on that.
So I allowed.
That was supposed to be beans.
No, it was supposed to be beans.
That's the real spit.
The real spit is.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He said that, though.
He was supposed to be here.
He said it.
And I told him.
I ain't going Nori because I ain't want to get drunk.
Nori want to get you drunk.
He want to get you drunk.
Nah, you don't have to drink if you come here.
He said he was coming on.
He said he was coming in the first week of November.
He said, I'm going to Miami. I'm going to drink champs.
The whole theme of our show is, you can tell us
you're not going to get drunk.
We'll get drunk for you.
It wouldn't be funny
if Royce the Five Nine comes on.
He's a recovering alcoholic.
We wouldn't pressure funny If Worst of Five Nights Comes on He's a recovering Alcoholic So we wouldn't
Pressure him
But like for instance
You know
Darren Ramadan
You're supposed to
Get French
So I was going to
Accept him not drinking
But then I thought about it
I was like
The theme of our show
Of me keeps saying
See I ain't got to tell you
To take a shot
Because you know
Ducey cutting you a check
And you pouring your own shots
Let's make some noise
For that
But
The whole theme of this show is,
I'm just mad late.
Remember Harlem Nights, everybody else shot?
You got a horn, too, over there, man.
You got a horn, too.
Use that shit.
I love horns.
We got props for this motherfucker.
You're going to be mad.
Drink chance fans will be like,
you fucking faggot.
Drink chance.
It's too late.
You done it.
Tax season.
No, tax season fans.
But that's the whole theme of the show
is to try to get people drunk.
But if an artist says
that they won't drink,
we'll still accept them.
Like I said, Royce the Five Nine.
I actually spoke to him.
He told me he's coming in November.
Faggio, our first episode.
He did not drink.
Faggio didn't drink.
He did not drink.
He cannot return
unless he drinks.
God damn it.
He all the way up. it He all the way up
We help all the way up
Go platinum
Me, Tax Stone
And Mint Bleed
You had something to do
With that too
You had something to do
Because you know why
Me and you spoke
On our podcast
How
You was like
All y'all old niggas
He shitted on me as well
He was like
All y'all old niggas
Need to squash y'all beef
And I was like
Damn, he's kind of right
Like
You look stupid having.
You know, you're at that point where you got grown kids that know what's going on.
It's like, yo, my nigga, this shit over.
It's over.
It running close.
So we put that in the atmosphere first on your podcast.
Then from your podcast, Jay had called me.
And Joe called me and said Yo, you know
But everybody knows the story at this point
But what I'm saying is
It first got into energy through your podcast
You know what I'm saying?
Your podcast is really phenomenal
You do a great job
You just had Jeezy on there
How did you hook that up?
That Jeezy up?
That Jeezy up?
Jeezy
Karen Civil had hit me months ago Karen Civil getting a lot of money Jeezy on there. How did you hook that up, that Jeezy up? That Jeezy up? Jeezy.
Karen Civil had hit me months ago.
Karen Civil getting a lot of money.
Karen Civil gets a lot of money.
She Haitian.
Yeah, I'm going to say Sunny D.T. on her.
Because, damn, come on, Karen Civil.
Come on, send some money to Drink Champs.
We good over here. Karen Civil gets money.
Yeah, she gets money.
She was supposed to be on Coming Home Vietnam.
She was supposed to do an interview.
It just didn't happen. Yeah? Yeah, yeah. Word, but why? She's had Vietnam was supposed to be On Coming Home Vietnam Supposed to do an interview It just didn't happen
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Or
But why
She's had Vietnam too
No
Did I say Vietnam
Did I say Vietnam
You said Vietnam
Oh I fucking know
Haiti
Oh man
Oh shit
I'm about to say
Coming Home Haiti
This is real
She's been claiming
Too racist for a long time
I didn't know
She was coming to me
She was supposed to do
An interview for Haiti
I was about to say
Asian people get money
That's a lie
But she's 100% Haitian.
Let's pick up the Haitian.
Let's pick up the Haitian community.
Yeah, Karen Sybil hit me and was like, yo, she was like, Jeezy wants to do your show.
And I was like, word?
I was like, let's do it.
So then it was like, I forgot.
What the fuck was supposed to be?
I think it was supposed to be in LA.
And then it didn't happen. And then Miami, when they just was dead after Jeezy Weekend,
they're supposed to be on a yacht or some shit.
Yeah, I got invited to the dinner.
Yeah, and then they didn't do it again.
And then, yeah, we just did it in New York.
It was like folk.
Shout out to DJ Folk.
DJ Folk was hitting me, lining it up and shit.
And they just got it lined up, and Jeezy came was hitting me, lining it up and shit. And he just got it lined up and cheesy came through.
I went to his dinner and shit.
Shit was smooth.
Out here?
Oh, you're talking about in New York?
Yeah.
Okay, that's where T.I., True Life.
Yeah, T.I., True Life, Fab.
A whole bunch of people.
Hip Hop Police.
Hip Hop Police.
All types of weird shit.
There's weird industry shit going on.
All types of weird shit. Oh, weird industry shit going on. What types of weird shit?
Oh, man.
Let's go.
You know.
Shout out to hip hop.
Shout out to hip hop.
And not the police.
Yeah, I don't even want to host parties no more.
I'm scared of these niggas.
Like, unless it's a Drink Champs event, because you know why?
There you go.
Drink Champs is actually like, as you probably feel the same way about your
podcast it's like you know it's a certain crowd that comes out for drink champs like it's a
certain crowd that comes out for cnn and it's a violent crowd then it's a certain crowd that
comes out for nori but it depends on which nori they might want me to perform some spanish records
i'm always going there you know i'm saying because spanish niggas they'll stab you and keep partying
they only want they only want to get the gun.
They're like, yo, get them out of the party.
They keep dancing.
They can do salsa and you just stab, boom.
Get them out. That's it.
You know what I mean?
Hip-hop has just
involved, I don't want to say
some sucker shit, but sucker shit is
more approved now
in hip-hop. Do you agree with me or no?
Oh, man., yes I do
There's definitely a lot of things that wouldn't have gone
In the 90s
I don't care though either
I noticed that
And I don't care at the same time
Because what you gotta understand
About life is that sometimes you just
Gotta separate yourself
And you know,
be attached from a distance
because if you become
too attached,
like industry events...
It's not like you own it either.
Yeah, yo, like,
I was at an industry event.
This is, like, crazy shit.
It was an executive.
I'm not even going to say his name
because, you know,
I don't...
Too hint at it.
Or whistle.
Or type of pussy shit.
Tax, you can go to your phone.
I think your phone's causing...
Oh, it's your phone.
Oh, that's my shit?
Yeah.
You getting somebody called?
Yeah, CIA's fucking up our head right now.
You know your phone is all type of tax.
That's not my phone, man.
It might be.
Just try it.
Let's check it out.
Put it over there.
Let's test it out.
Let's test it out.
That's some audio shit.
I just turned my shit off.
Envy said they want to stop and frisk you.
That ain't Envy's police. En stop and frisk you Envy's police
Envy said that
DJ Envy's police
You know what
I want to say I apologize to DJ Envy
Because I didn't understand what DJ Envy had went through prior to that week
And what might have caused that decision in his chest
And I understand when you a victim
You tend to think a rational
He's a civilian anyway
He's a civilian anyway.
I understand. But at the same time,
he was tweeting shit like,
you know, I'm in these streets
and you ain't going to
a strip club.
That ain't the streets.
That is outside for some people.
For civilians, maybe.
But that ain't the streets. I know niggas
that never seen the strip club.
You understand?
It's in the streets.
They don't even know what strippers look like.
I know niggas that never had sex.
I know niggas that...
They...
He was saying that like he be outside.
KFC, the crown donuts.
That's as far as they go.
Chill out.
It's a fact.
Them niggas don't want to leave the hood.
But big up to DJ Envy.
He's supposed to come on here.
He played Nori.
Yeah, he definitely ain't playing my records.
Come on my show, too.
I'm sorry, man.
I did not know niggas try to book you for your watch.
But he did say he wished the people would stop and frisk you.
Was he out of line when he said that?
No, I don't understand.
He's police.
What I'm saying is this. What I'm saying is this.
What I'm saying is this. Envy.
Why didn't you call police, my
nigga? You a civilian.
You cannot play both sides.
He said something like he called his homies.
Your homies? You're a
civilian. Call the cops.
Don't call your homies. You can't
play both sides.
I'm a civilian now. You come out and Call the cops. Right. Don't call your homies. You can't play both sides. I'm a civilian now.
You come out, I'm calling the cops.
I just told the niggas.
Niggas took my footage.
Niggas took my footage.
That's real shit.
Niggas took my footage.
You beans video.
I said, I'm calling the cops.
Oh, yeah.
That nigga's going to jail.
Oh, they tried to bootleg your shit?
They tried to bootleg your shit?
Nigga, I looked at the nigga.
Looked at the nigga YouTube
Nigga had 900,000
Views on my video
I said what the fuck
So who's this nigga
So I don't know
This nigga
I had my man
To take the shit
I said nigga
The fuck is you doing
This your shit
I gave you that
Take that shit down
You got this nigga to eat
That's interesting because
A lot of people don't know.
You are independent now.
I'm independent?
You mean as a podcaster?
Yes.
Oh, you're not on loudspeakers anymore?
I'm kicking ass as an independent.
I still fuck with loudspeakers.
Reggie Oseas, Combat Jacksat were in the same chair, bigged you up, crazy.
But see, a lot of people, this is something that the kids gotta listen to. This man,
whatever, we don't
care about the reasons why,
but he went out on his own and
kicked ass on his own.
Took his ad companies, what a bevel.
What a bevel. So you're doing your own advertising
on yourself? Trusting Walker, big you up.
The same people doing it for me,
but I'm just, you know.
Independent. Not cutting other people in. Let's, but I'm just, you know. Right. Just independent.
Not cutting other people in.
Getting that money.
Let's make some noise for him getting that money.
He being modest.
He being modest right now, and I respect that.
You got to be tough when you outside.
You know, Mobb Deep once said there was a war going on outside.
No man was safe from.
Big them niggas up.
Yeah, big them niggas up.
They wouldn't have said that.
When you get mobbed deep on the podcast.
Yo, Prodigy's in town.
I want to get CNN.
I want to get CNN.
We're trying to make that happen.
I told niggas Prodigy wasn't a legend, and I think niggas think I don't like the nigga now.
They ain't mean I ain't like the nigga.
I still got love for the nigga.
And, like, you know what I mean?
Like, I don't, you know, you got to understand.
My criticism comes from angles where
Y'all criticism can't live
When you criticize a nigga it comes from a hateful standpoint
So you hate him
So this is why you criticizing him
I'm criticizing something I didn't like
I ain't saying I hate the nigga
Or I dislike everything he did
I said I don't think Prodigy
Is a legend
And the only reason I said that I don't think Prodigy is a legend.
And the only reason I said that was because I felt like as far as rapping and spitting, it wasn't that legendary.
But just like I said, as far as the movement in New York City, the time that it was, the period and point,
what he said, him standing up with L.A. niggas and shit like that, like in Critical Points, that's legendary.
And I said the same shit about Ice-T.
I'm holding it back. But him as an individual or the group?
Are you saying him as an individual is not legendary
or the group is not legendary?
I love Mobb Deep.
I think Mobb Deep is a legendary group.
I talk about Prodigy as a legendary group.
As an individual artist.
Yeah, as an individual.
They were trying to say Prodigy was,
and I was like, nah, it's the group.
It's Havoc and Prodigy.
It's the unison of it.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
So people was like coming at my neck like, are you crazy?
What do you mean about this, that, and the other?
He said this.
And I'm like, my nigga on some serious shit.
I was a kid then.
But I knew that certain shit they said wasn't that prolific.
You know what I mean?
I grew up next door to a dope house. You know what I mean? I grew up next door to a dope house.
You know what I mean?
Niggas went down for making 1.4 a week.
Let's pick up the dope house, god damn it.
Making 1.4 a week.
Yo, what did you just drop, Eddie?
You learned a different game.
Yo, come on, man.
Pick that shit up.
But just like I said, I don't want to discredit them in no type of way.
You know what I mean?
I'm trying to shit on them.
That's just my personal opinion on it.
It's not no slanderous shit like fuck them or no shit.
I seen Prodigy after I had words with him in the engine room on Christmas party.
I ain't say nothing to the niggas.
You know what I mean?
I kept it pushing.
I'm not going to argue with no nigga by no means.
Well, he's here this week.
You know what I mean?
Well, I don't think
that's going to happen, but...
I mean, I'm going to try
to make it happen.
You got to get Prodigy on.
You can try.
Listen, all y'all old niggas...
I would love to.
Listen, all y'all old niggas...
It ain't me, man.
...got kids that's grown
in junior high school,
that's adults,
that's having sex.
I didn't want to talk about this.
Nor do you got grandkids.
I don't got no grandkids yet.
But for the record, you know, the past has been extended.
There's been no shots.
There's not been nothing.
So if a brother wants to come and sit down, that's cool.
If not, there's no love lost.
We're going to continue to do what we do Like the judge gotta do
Proud of you
Keep the percolator
Percolated on the fire hydrant
That equals water
You know what I mean
But slime
Slime gonna be alright
Regardless
But the invitation
Is still being extended
He's welcoming
And he's welcome
But the one thing
We ain't gonna do
Is see the drink champs
Is you have to
Wanna be here
If you don't wanna be here
You gotta wanna be on drink champs You know I ask niggas do they eat ass i ask niggas how many abortions they ever paid for
you know what i'm saying like you got to feel comfortable with me when i ask because
we lose i want you to answer answer me sincerely so being an eddie to ask you to already ask you
if you ask how many abortions you think you paid for? Let's just keep it real. I'm not sure.
I think I'm 16.
I'm definitely in double digits.
This is from 1998.
I think it's like eight.
All right.
You know what it was with me?
I've been fucking raw since Trapper Dive.
Since Trapper Dive.
Yeah, ever since that point.
You've been fucking raw and praying.
Praying a lot.
Praying a lot.
Been baptized twice.
Y'all bugging, man.
Every time I get shot, I get baptized.
Y'all motherfuckers watching City of Gods.
But yeah, Real shit though
But why is Trapper Dive
The moment where you said
I'm like holy
No it was just that album was lit at that point
You know
Periods and times in your life
Like when I think about your album my nigga
When I think about N.O.R.E
I was blood nigga
That was the year I turned blood You understand what I'm was blood, nigga. That was the year I turned blood.
You understand what I'm saying?
In New York City.
That was the year I had an avarex.
That was the year a blood tried to cut me, and I flexed on him.
So, you know, like, this is the feeling you get from certain periods of time.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian,
Dr. Randall Williams and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen 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.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

man, God bless you.
Well, let's pick up Supreme. I gotta
keep it real.
The niggas took
care of me. I'm sorry, goddamn.
Listen, here's the part
that I want to give to niggas.
And this is real shit.
I have never, ever said this story in my life.
When Bape first came out, Bape was fucking with who?
Who was they star artist?
Pharrell.
Pharrell gave me a pair of Bapes, my nigga.
The star.
It was the original Bapes, though. You swear you know vapes. My nigga. The star. It was the, no, the original vapes,
though.
You swear you know this story.
Mm,
I know,
I wore it.
That was,
thank you,
thank you for knowing this.
You know he 12 years old.
The star.
That's the hype man.
All right,
twin,
relax.
I'm gonna have to ask you a question.
So listen.
Why you gonna outline the stars?
So listen.
But at least you was on point, though.
At least you was on point.
No, I love you, twin.
But listen.
So Pharrell gives me, I go to Jamaica Ave.
Your niggas is laughing at me.
This is 100% facts.
The very first ones that maybe.
So you rocking them?
I'm rocking them.
Pharrell gives them to me.
I'm rocking them.
And he tells me the price tag.
And you know us in the urban community, if we think something is 300, we think it's fly.
We don't care if you think it's trash.
We be like, what the fuck are those? 300.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm running around. I told Pharrell how much slack I got for this shit.
But then I realized that
certain people was fucking with it.
Boom.
So I started wearing it.
I wore it in videos.
I wore the shirts.
Because in videos,
sometimes wearing sneakers,
the people don't focus on your below.
But I wore shit, whatever.
Bape sent me whatever I wanted, right?
The minute Bape got popping, I asked my stylist.
I had a stylist back then.
I ain't got a stylist now.
But, you know, when you had the million-dollar budgets, make some noise for a stylist, goddammit.
God, I didn't know you were a stylist.
Mrs. Stylist.
Sorry, I'm Mrs. Stylist.
I'm trying to be back on the majors so much.
Mike Kaiser cuts the check.
So back to the point. Shout out to Kaiser. on the majors so much Mike Kaiser cuts the check So back to the point
So the minute they got on
And this is real shit
Because I really like baby clothing
But if you've seen me with baby clothing
I paid for it
The minute they got on
My stylists hit them
And they was like Nori has to pay
I never told this story in my motherfucking life
i swear to god and their the face their poster child is for real for real is the guy who gave
it to me i'm the guy who i just blew it up because a dude told me that a long time ago he's like
you'll know one thing about you and nigga, give you the product, you support
it. And I
supported it. And then
the same niggas in Queens, the same
niggas in Brooklyn that laughed at me
had on the sneakers about a month
and a half later. And I knew
it was me who did that. I knew
it. And the minute they got up,
they has never sent me a free
nothing.
Nothing. I'm sorry, man.
So for the dude
in the bank, so the dude
that support babe,
babe, I know they
ain't pay for your bail, Slam.
Leave it alone.
They're not for the culture.
But I would like for them to be back for the culture
and make me write. Send me $30,000 worth of cash. I would like for them to be back for the culture and make me write.
Send me $30,000 worth of gear.
I'm like, no.
That's a great chance.
Send Nari $60,000 and $50,000, Chad.
Back pay.
Back pay.
That shit hurt me.
You don't understand.
The scrutiny and the turmoil I went through for rocking this sneaker that looks like an Air Force One.
With a star. Just with a star and it looked thicker.
I'm talking about this wasn't the flavors.
Remember the first one I had like the very
first or second or maybe
third but I'm talking about or maybe I had
all three and that shit hurt me
because I went through shit
and I was the nigga and you know
my stardom kind of went down as they stardom
went up and them niggas told me I had to pay and I was the nigga. And you know, my stardom kind of went down as their stardom went up.
And them niggas told me I had to pay and I was
still on Def Jam.
So it was like, I had to hear it through them.
But so, that's what I'm saying.
Don't start fights for clothing.
They ain't going to pay your bills.
You know what I mean? But it is what it is.
I respect them and I watch them on the internet.
So what's the moral of this story?
No, it's like the baby, because we're going to do this
tax season
slash drink chance.
Oh, we could do it with 89.
Fuck that.
Yeah, you said that originally.
But then we went somewhere dark.
We went somewhere.
Listen, our shirts are going to be $170.
That's when you said 100. That's why I went.
170.
Now I want to charge $215.99.
This is what we're going to do.
You sound suitable.
When you think about it, $170.99 is quite suitable.
We're going to make it $100, and then we're going to resell it.
Like the Yeezys.
Then put it on eBay.
Yeah, then put it on eBay for like San Juan.
Like San Juan.
Niggas are so foul.
I can't believe our fans are still tuned in to how we try to.
Pick up the drink, Chance Army, man.
And taxis.
No, listen, I'm serious.
I'm serious.
Y'all joking.
No, we're definitely not joking.
I'm serious because, listen, you niggas.
We all laugh.
If you really fuck with us, you're going to buy it.
You're going to buy it.
We're just laughing.
Listen, if you don't buy it, you don't fuck with us.
And I'm cool with that.
Very limited edition.
I don't got a beef with you.
I'm not going to fight you.
You know what I mean?
But the hoodie is going to be $760.
Nigga, you got to buy that.
Nigga, come on.
What's wrong with you?
And our next shit might be my collab with Gucci.
We never know.
We never know. We never know.
We popping out here, man.
Versace, Versace, Versace.
We popping out here.
Tax got $500,000 on the Beanie Sig interview in a half a day.
We popping out here.
What do you think?
And that was on SoundCloud.
You think is that your biggest interview?
Yeah.
And do you think that kind of overshadowed your Jeezy interview?
Because I realized that when you hit them the next week with Jeezy, that people were still on beans.
They were still on it so much.
It was.
So you think it kind of overshadowed a little bit?
You know, I'm usually more strategic than that.
And I thought about spacing it and doing somebody else.
Right.
And then hitting them with the Jeezy.
But I was like, fuck it.
You know what I mean? Because I was like, it's no
way you can get past that.
B.D. Segal is a legendary rapper.
He's been in the game for years.
And he's known as a bully.
And for pussies,
you know what I mean? For pussies especially
in the universe, which is
there's so many
Right
You can't
Their opinion
For you getting knocked out
Is like
A pussy
Would not believe you
Right
Because somebody hit you
You know
If you see how beans got hit
He got hit from behind
Right
And even if he got hit
Straight up
And got knocked out
Same shit
It happens
He got knocked out
It is what it is.
Right.
But that's what a pussy wants to see.
But a pussy, he be like, oh, yeah, you not like that no more.
You not who you said you was.
Your lyrics don't mean anything.
And I seen people say this.
We're in the midst.
And I said, holy shit.
How does that mean that you don't shoot numerous people?
Right.
Exactly.
You know what I mean?
Like, I didn't understand that.
So I was like, that's how I knew
these people haven't been outside
because I'm like, if you've been outside
and you've been in the streets,
you don't took L's.
You got to take W's to even be a gangster.
You got to take L's in order to even be a gangster.
Like, you got to, it's a process.
It's not no, you just look flawless.
You think niggas is Blade III? Hate with hip hop. And because this is what I wanted to, it's a process. It's not no, you just look flawless. That's what I exactly hate with hip-hop.
Because this is what I wanted to, this is the discussion I wanted to get into.
Because this is exactly why sometimes I hate hip-hop.
Or internet hip-hop, right.
Internet hip-hop.
I could have done anybody, you know what I mean?
I know that.
Me, Mel, Drake, anybody.
I would have said the same thing.
But this is why, because hip-hop, we kill our legends.
And what I mean by that is, like right now,
as
prolific as Jay-Z is,
as much shit as he's done in his life,
if there's one dude that come out
right now and say,
I wrote Hard Knock Life,
our whole generation was shit on
hope. We'll go from one week
and let's think stick it with the man
And then I'll say
I'll just give you an example of how we kill our own legends
I'm just saying
Let's suppose that happened right
Everybody would be like
I don't believe Hov no more
But
Let me give you an example
In rock and roll
These niggas can come outside, eat a bat.
Ozzy Osbourne.
Or they can take a roach and stuff it up their ass.
Then 20 years later, you found out this roach was fake.
It was no more control.
The bat was fake for Ozzy Osbourne.
It was fake, yeah.
It was fake.
Yeah.
But they don't cut their people off.
They sit back and say, yo, fuck it.
They be like, good showmanship.
It doesn't matter.
That was a good show.
But in our culture, a nigga can do whatever.
A nigga can cheat on his girl.
A nigga be like, well, nigga told me in his records he was fake.
Well, a nigga have one bad night.
Yeah.
And our culture
will kill our own legends.
Nobody feels me on this?
No, I do. We kill
our own niggas. I do.
Like, I feel a certain
shit gotta be sacred, you know what I mean?
Like, for instance,
in Correlation,
it was a chick that I know that sells pussy.
Can you give us another word? Correlation?
We don't know what that means
Is this another befuddle?
He's adding to that movement
Correlation
Alright cool
It's in relations
It's a chick that I know
That sells wild pussy
She sells wild pussy
Sell wild pussy
Right
By the pound
Yeah by the pound
And she be on
Like
She be on like
She be on like
She be on like
She be on like
She be on like
She be on like
She be on like
Twitter and like Instagram And she's on, like, she be on, like, Twitter and, like, Instagram,
and she's, like, a Black Lives Matter activist.
Whoa, and sells pussy.
And she be going in.
Let's make some noise for her.
I'm not mad at her at all.
I'm not mad at her at all.
I'm the funnel, though, right now.
I want to hear the rest of the story.
I'm not mad at her at all.
Moral of the story is, is that
if you do certain things,
even if you believe in a certain positive message or something, you're trying to promote something, you can't do it because you know it will tarnish the image of what you're trying to promote.
Right.
So for the cause of it, you can't do it.
You know what I mean?
You got to be disciplined for that.
Yeah, you got to maintain discipline.
Like D-Ray.
I can't.
Like, I support D-Ray, and I heard he's a flamer. I don't care. Yeah, you gotta maintain discipline. Like D-Ray. I can't. Like, I support D-Ray, and I
heard he's a flamer. I don't care.
Yeah, and that's
something with me. Like, I don't give a
fuck. Like, we fight for Black Lives
Matter. D-Ray, what's his name?
He fights for them.
And then they sent me
pictures of this nigga. Like, I was like,
I don't give a fuck. Like, he's
on the front line.
I was at a dinner with DeRay
and I don't even know, maybe
12 homosexual dudes.
You know what I mean?
Them niggas was cool as shit.
That has nothing to do with what
he's representing. I don't give a fuck how you
have sex. That's what people gotta understand.
I'm black. It ain't enough of us for me to sex. That's what people got to understand. I'm black.
It ain't enough of us for me to be saying he gay.
We got to exclude him.
I don't know how big that percentage is for me to be excluding that many motherfuckers saying, yo, he gay.
We can't exclude him.
I don't give a fuck how you have sex because I don't have sex with no man.
That's their business.
Yeah, whatever you do is what you do.
And that's it it I'm not 15
I ain't had sex in a room with 5 niggas in years
We call that the trizzy
The triz Nathaniel
I am not with the triz Nathaniel no more
I am not with the triz Nathaniel no more
Real shit
But nah real shit
I don't give a fuck about none of that shit
Yeah I don't give a fuck about your sexuality I don't give a fuck about your sexuality
You're out there fighting for my people
You're out there representing with the same vest on every week
And you strong
And your motherfucking message is strong
I don't give a fuck what you do in your bedroom
I just seen DeRay and Solange
Listening
With the same vest on
But what happened to the chick selling her pussy
That she's Black Lives Matter
How did that fuck her up
The correlation was
Was that you cannot
Let's make some noise for correlation again
God damn it I learned another word
I'm a guy with that shit mean
That's like when you put it on top
It's in relations what we talking about man
Cause I was befuddled for a little while
I was befuddled
But I'm fucked with the correlation.
Yeah. But you can't
you can't represent
certain positive movements
it's just starting.
But what, did she have a backlash?
Like what happened to her?
People don't know yet. Oh, they don't know?
I've never said who she is. Oh, so you say
something's gonna happen eventually.
Hell yeah, eventually. That's the game. It's like a man selling drugs. As much so you say something's going to happen eventually. Hell yeah, eventually.
That's the game.
It's like a man selling drugs.
As much as you love him, he a good nigga.
He take care of his family.
You love him.
But eventually, he's going to go to jail or die.
Either one, jail or die.
That's really what it goes down the street.
It's a ticking time bomb anyways.
Remember, we established that on the last episode that him and Charlamagne was on,
that we all think that Martin Luther King was a shooter.
Let's make some noise for that.
You did that.
Oh, it was me?
It was me by myself?
I'm sorry.
Apparently, he was doing shit.
I think Martin Luther, I think he got killed over a drug deal.
Nah, that's fucked up.
Let me take this away.
Come on, man.
Let me take this away.
Let me take this away.
Please edit that.
It's not editing that, but we're editing that.
This is a joke, people.
Please relax.
I think Martin Luther King was one of the strongest niggas that ever lived.
Yeah.
Only because he was strong enough mentally to not engage back in the violence against them.
You understand?
That take a different strength.
Yeah.
Niggas think they gangsta, but they don't understand it's almost a weakness because you Yeah. It's, you know, niggas think they gangster,
but they don't understand.
It's almost a weakness because you're not strong enough to be like,
I'm a thing for you.
You know what I mean?
And when you,
when you,
when you get in certain positions,
you understand that you got to think for niggas because sometimes a nigga
want to die.
You know what I mean?

A visual diary of, like, two, three days
of chilling with the artists
and watching the process of them making a record
Oh, dope
And interviewing people that's around them
And getting an understanding of them
And interviewing
Document performance
And just getting the whole narrative
Of the whole entire neighborhood
And the whole
And document it
And that's out now already?
That's already
Yeah, I did one episode
Day Day
Day Day
From Atlanta.
It was hard.
I got like four more coming.
You know, people have been asking for it.
But just from asking, you dropped this one episode and it was like you disappeared.
Yeah, yeah.
What was the dilemma about?
The dilemma was me really.
Getting that check from Complex?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, that wasn't it.
I actually didn't even
I didn't hit the
Like, I don't
It's a direct deposit
Yeah, like, I don't
I don't push for nothing I do
Everything that I happen
Happened because somebody
Probably reached out to me
The only thing that happened
Because I reached out to somebody
Was me reaching out to Charlemagne
Because I heard he had got a show on MTV
This was like in November
I was like, yo, I heard you got a show on MTV, nigga.
I need in.
He was like, yo, I got you, nigga.
I swear to God, that was his response,
and I didn't get an email until April.
Why?
I forgot about the shit that I even said it.
I got an email from him, and I was like, oh, shit.
Oh, this Charlamagne shit, you know what I mean?
All right.
But I never really, you know, pressed for it.
I just be feeling like, you know,
if you work hard, people gonna come for you.
So that's why
I don't really, like, really reach out for shit.
Stop sending your links to niggas that you
don't know. Yeah, you know, niggas don't press
me like nigga done came to me, son. Nigga
told me he had $30,000 for me,
man, for my interview. You know I need
$30,000 right now, you know?
I always need $30,000. But he just wanted to interview you? No, he wanted for my interview. You know I need $30,000 right now. You know? I always need $30,000.
But he just wanted to interview you?
No, he wanted me to interview him.
But I just knew that this nigga
had nothing going on and he just had money.
Just send him the drink champs.
Yeah, nigga.
Nah, we sending him to me
because we got a podcast.
Yeah, he had cash too, man.
Nah, nah, Eddie Giggs is going to interview him.
I'm like getting $30,000 cash.
We got a podcast called Two Dominicans, One Haitian, and a Puerto Rican.
And it's Mr. Lee, Sonny DBT, Twin, and Carlito.
And in the background, Eddie Giggs is just eating ass in the background.
They don't got to step and repeat.
And we're going to take $27,000 of that at Drink Champs and we're giving them three.
It's okay.
That's your work, man.
And we're going to promote it

Don't worry about that.
It's me and AFN 27,000.
Ewan Rich is in on that.
Don't worry about that.
Come on, calm down.
I just couldn't do
the interview, man.
I couldn't do it
because it was like
I knew it was wrong.
You felt like it was payola.
It is.
It's like, I'm not, you can't pay me for me to interview you.
Your shit ain't lit like that.
It dilutes the brand.
Yeah, like, people believe in what I say, nigga.
You're not going to dilute my truths.
Yeah, that's real.
And the being the bitch ass niggas that I speak about.
So I'm like, I'm not going to do that.
What if you took his $30,000
and you just dissed the shit out of him the whole show?
That would have been hard.
It would have been a robbery.
And then I would have put paranoid.
I had a nigga
after me because I took $30,000
from him, you know what I mean?
So I ain't really with none of the thievery.
I'm not with the robbery anymore
because that definitely was a robbery.
And you're from East New York.
And, yeah, I'm from East New York.
So if you ever put me in a position where I have to figure out how to do something.

The last show I did in London, like, I think it was like a 300-seat theater.
But I sold like 260 tickets.
You know what I mean?
And just to be in London, like I was in the mall

You're 93 years old.
Like, you know, you outside.
You in shape.
Your dick working.
You fucking five rounds.
You know what I mean?
You out here breaking barriers.
You didn't study journalism.
You just decided to, you know, interview people and speak to the people from a fair perspective.
I heard also, you was not only mad because he had emailed Hove, but I also heard that he was like, he was trying to take your advertisers and cut it in half.
Was that true? He was undercutting?
I heard things like that, too.
That's serious. Undercutting is serious.
No, I heard that. Whatever ad...
That's mad serious.
That's mad serious.
This is before Drink Chance is in the game.
Undercutting is fucked up.
This is before Drink Chance is in the game.
In my quest.

See the deal.
But those are my niggas, though.
Let's pick up Elliot.
You're horrible at saying those.
Fuck up, friend.
No, no, no.
I do like Elliot, though, because I'm not a nigga.
I'm not a hateful nigga.
You got to do a lot.
And when I hate you, you will know.
Like, there's nothing you're never going to wake up and be like, I wanted to do tax.
Fuck with me.
You're going to know, nigga.
You're going to know.
I'm not going to ever forget you.
But let me just ask you.
I'm going to fuck with everybody you love.
So when he emailed Hov, who gave you the phone call that he emailed Hov and hated on you?
I think I got it from three different ways, man.
But let's keep those three deep in people out the way.
I don't want to...
You know, because I'm scared of Jay-Z.
Yeah, I'm scared of Jay-Z, too.
Jay-Z, he get people fired from places.
Yeah, stress him.
I'm a man.
I'm a grown man, and a man knows
when to
accept when he can't win.
You supposed to know that, bitch nigga.
You supposed to know that.
I know when you a bitch nigga.
I'm a bitch nigga.
You know when you a bitch nigga.
That is fast.
Jay-Z don't play.
And that's why he sit there and just smirk in pictures.
You know what I mean?
That nigga's smirk is dangerous.
Dangerous smirk. I'm scared of that nigga. That nigga told meirk is dangerous. Dangerous smirk.
I'm scared of that nigga.
That nigga told me about a tweet.
I said, he was like, yeah, one day you said,
I was like,
I said that four years ago.
That's why I be saying this shit.
I be like, Jay-Z is watching you.
People think I be joking.
I'm serious. Jay-Z really watching you.
Nigga, Chill out.
He's the hip-hop NSA?
But he keeping you in line, though.
Do something good. He gonna holler. It's respectable.
You understand it. Right, you understand.
You understand it. This is his culture.
This is his shit. Yeah, nigga.
He staying on top of shit, for sure.
Listen, nigga, you gotta to respect what it's due.
Niggas put that work.
So who was those phone calls again?
Those phone calls.
Oh, nah.
I don't want to expose them people, because I need them right now.
Give us one of the people that you could expose.
Just like one person.
First letter of the last name.
That you do.
I guess like, listen.
You on the whole.
That's one thing we got to respect about Tax. Is tax could have went to the music section a long time ago.
Tax chose not to go to the music section.
Yeah.
He's a comedy.
You and I do comedy in all in all reality.
We was in.
So he's not nobody's competition.
He stayed.
He curated his own lane and stayed in it.
So anybody hating on tax is retarded.
So I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying.
That's why I needed drink champs.
I was in the crib.
I said, we need drink champs.
We need somebody in there controlling that music.
Exactly.
Because it wasn't a correct, you know what I mean?
It wasn't a correct place for people to see.
But now you post this, and then somebody tells you,
Elliot has hated, they have emailed Jay-Z and said,
why did Jay-Z do tax season?
Let's get into that.
I was, at first, I was befuddled. He was befuddled, At first, I was befuddled.
I was definitely befuddled.
I was befuddled.
And then what's the other word I learned tonight?
Correlation.
How did the correlation happen?
No, no.
What's the correlation?
No, seriously, man.
It's like an English class.
At first, I was like... I don't know what to say.
I'm not going to say that because people are sensitive, but I'm going to say I felt bruised.
I was like, wow.
That's what I felt like.
Why did you do that? But then I had to look at it in a complimentary sense.
Like, yo, you out here doing something.
You affecting shit.
You changing shit.
So I was like, you got to respect ridicule or respect envy or whatever it might be.
So I didn't really, I never was really mad.
I was mad.
Don't get it twisted.
For like 48 hours, I was.
But it dissipated fast.
That's two days.
Yeah, two days.
And usually in two days, I beat a move on you.
But I was like, it wasn't serious.
I was like, yo, your action ain't that serious now.
And I understood it, even when I heard his side, when he said, yo.
On the breakfast club?
Yeah, I spoke to him.
And then he would say he was going to come on our show.
And then I seen tax put up that.
So I thought it was that.
So I understood it.
I understood how I could be misleading and why you would feel like, damn, yo, you did this nigga show.
You said you was going to do my show.
You understand?
So I understood it.
But you just got to understand, like, so we're going on outside.
No, it's safe from, you know, I mean, so you can't outside no man is safe from?
You know what I mean? So you can't really
be outside
with Sherlins on acting like you're
a wolf.
Of course.
Just for people who don't
understand that,
a Sherlin is a wolf.
They carved
him.
You're willing to carve him.
You're stupid.
This is a fact.
So,
you're still not going to tell us
who gave you that phone call,
correct?
Nah, nah.
Is that okay?
I can't,
because I need them.
I don't know.
I only know what inside shit
they could be having going on.
It's not somebody
that you don't need
that like gave you that phone call.
I need all them niggas.
Damn, man.
Let them live.
Nah, I would have bodied them.
You know,
I didn't have a bra.
I don't care
But I do need them niggas and I just don't know
They hit me back later like
Elliot and them has been doing great for hip hop
I'm finally understanding
I'm finally grateful
That they realized
That don't try to compete with me
Just do yourself
And that's an awesome thing
Because they should have never tried to put themselves
in competition with me.
That's what they did, and so I accepted it.
And I knew that was going to happen.
That's why I encouraged it so much.
I was like, no, we go.
Because what I realized was that I was like,
I understood.
I was like, Elliot and them think,
and I'm not saying he's not good
at what he does as far as journalism.
He's good.
He's good.
What I'm saying is he think that he was such a voice for it that he didn't understand it.
It was a layer that he never touched, that was untouched.
And that's a layer that people like Norrie own, people like me own.
Like, you can't touch that layer.
And that's a layer that's very important. You got to remember
all cultures in the United States
of America come from
the black culture.
You understand? Everything
goes from there. It goes from
what we say is hot.
The white people could like you, a couple white
people, but if we don't say that shit lit,
it ain't lit. We the top
consumers. You got to understand that. So once the niggas say't say that shit lit, it ain't lit. We the top consumers. You gotta understand
that. So once the niggas say
this is the shit too,
you win.
So, you know, they didn't understand that.
And people listen. And I knew that shit already.
I was like, yo, you know,
I didn't actually know who
L.A. Wilson was. And I posted the video
of him in a breakfast club, like, maybe like
a month ago on some Throwback Thursday shit
on Facebook and like people was
like under there like literally on some
like yo who is this?
Who the fuck is this nigga? What do you mean he's speaking for the culture?
Cause he said this shit and the shit
and it made me think even more like yo
you know how much it's so much people
that they not embedded in hip hop
they just a fan of the music. They say their only opinion
matters. So they didn't know who he was. You know what I mean? They not embedded in hip hop They just a fan of the music They say their only opinion matters
So they didn't know who he was
You know what I mean
So that's the difference between me and them
Like I'm them
I'm a fan
So it's me just interviewing people
So it's different
You know what I mean
And just being a fan of it
From a journalist's standpoint
Journalists sound like they
I'm interrogating you
Yeah
So niggas be afraid
I always say,
you know what I say,
because again,
you know,
I just want people
that tuned in,
you know,
when we speak about
Rap Radar,
we speak about
any other blogs
and we make fun of them.
When I say blogs,
I mean podcasts.
Yeah.
And we make fun of them.
Shout out to all the podcasts
out there talking shit about us.
It's always been fun for us.
It's always fun for us. It's always been fun.
I ain't never serious.
You know, the only time I got serious was when B-Dop brought up the fact that there's a funny rumor.
People saying I got dropped from Def Jam.
And I hate that rumor.
So I don't even think he knew what he was doing.
But, you know, I addressed it.
And I addressed it like, don't.
Because every time I always criticize them, I criticize them about their podcast, not anything they did in the past or anything like that.
And I do got a lot of love for B. Dodd and Elliot.
But at the end of the day, sometimes what I explain to people is, you know, if my friend Busta Rhymes, you know, let's just say Busta Rhymes just knocked somebody out tomorrow, right?
It's Elliot or B. Dodd or, you know, or even like a Rob Marksman, a journalist that I super respect.
Or The Breakfast Club.
Or The Breakfast Club or, you know, Hot 97, Ebro, Peter Rosenberg, Laura Stiles.
That's their job to report on that incident because that's the hot topic of the day.
That's not what we're doing over here.
I don't got to report shit.
Like if a person, whatever, whatever,
that shit is between them.
We report on what we want to report on.
We don't want to blot about that shit.
So that's the reason why sometimes
when a person say,
oh, okay, they winning
is because,
you know,
Jeezy ain't got to worry about,
you know,
Jeezy fucking,
you know,
a Kardashian somewhere
being caught
in a staircase
with a Kardashian.
Like,
Slime ain't going to
report on that.
Slime ain't going to
report on,
yo, what was you thinking
about when Trapper Dye happened? Yeah, I mean, is there no water in there? Nah, this is the no going to report on that. Slime going to report on, yo, what was you thinking about when Trapper died happened?
Yeah, I think he's going to water it.
Nah, this is the no water part.
Jesus Christ.
You ain't know that?
We got salsa water.
Nah, we got...
We got salsa water.
You fully Latino today.
You've been with Black Boom so long here.
This is...
That's the foul salsa water right there.
Let me get it.
Let me get that.
You know what?
Nah, nah, nah. Don't even hit the. Let me get it. Let me get it. You know what? No, no, no.
Don't even hit the stash.
I'm going to take some mango.
I'm supposed to do mango?
Yeah, I'm going to do a mango.
You're fancy.
I'm fancy.
I'm fancy today.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams
and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen 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.

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,

Wait, wait, tell me, I'm sorry.

Say that again.
With the Beans, you know, the first interview, I had the cameras, but I used to have cameras,

But I wasn't posting them on YouTube.
I was saving them because I had a plan.
I was doing shit I knew what certain television networks was looking for.
So I was pitching shit, you know what I mean, at the point.
And I knew it was better if I didn't put it on YouTube.
So I was just doing that.
And when Bean said it, I was like, all right, fuck it, because that period was over doing that, and when Beans said it,
I was like, alright, fuck it, because that period
was over. No, Beans is correct. Yeah, he was
correct, you know what I mean? So,

But you never got to talk about the people.
You got to talk about the situations, but never the people, so it can be globally.
Exactly.
It can be globally.
Yeah, it is.
Exactly.
We're going to do this.
We're going to take this to Universal or Mike Isaac. You want to cut the check or something?. Exactly. It can be globally. Exactly. We're going to do this. We're going to take this universal

That's my nigga.
I see them.
I'm a good individual.
Listen, I'm messing with Mike Kaiser
this whole episode
because I've seen him in the picture
with DMX, Jay-Z, Ja Rule.
And that was, you know,
I came right after that to Def Jam
and I just remember that era so good.
It was just so beautiful when they was cutting checks without having to speak to somebody else and things like that.
They were just making moves on their own, and I just miss that era.
To see them together tonight, it was something.
I don't know this word.
Give me a word.
It was something like dope.
You're a big word, nigga.
Exhilarate.
Exhilarate. That's going to take me two word. Something like dope. You're a big word, nigga. Exhilarate. Exhilarate.
That's going to take me two weeks to figure that out. But exhilarate.
It was exhilarate. Nah, I don't know if
I'm using that in the right term.
It was exciting.
It was
intoxicating.
It was intoxicating.
Intoxicating is a great word. Because it feels like
I'm getting drunk.
But to see them.
That was lit.
That was dope.
That was dope.
But I knew it was going to happen.
I knew it was going to happen.
It's just nature.
Niggas got to understand.
You become, you know, you're a baby.
You're a kid.
Old niggas got to stop having beef.
You are dope.
Enjoy.
You start becoming feeble again.
You become an old man.
You become a kid again.
It's like evolution. start becoming feeble again. You become an old man. You become a kid again.
It's like evolution.
Sometimes take evolution in order for you to get over shit.
You got to go through
different stages in your life.
What happens is that when men of the same
age bracket, they're going
through the same shit. It's just different
settings.
They're all going through the same shit.
It might look good for cameras because some people keep shit away or some people keep it on.
But everybody going through the same shit.
As crazy as niggas might think DMX is, this a nigga that's just as crazy as him that's on camera smiling in your face.
And you don't know it.
That's why I accept people like DMX.
You just be more honest about it.
DMX being himself.
And these niggas are sitting there
Creating somebody else
In front of you
And they do just as much
Whatever the fuck
DMX being another

Whatever I'll protect them In any type of way If I fuck with them But I'm not gonna be away about what somebody said or what somebody did or their product or whatever it might be,
whatever. I'll protect them in any type of way if I fuck with them, but I'm not going to be out here fighting people. And that's how you know it's nerds. That's why I keep telling people it's nerds.
It's people that don't interact or have even violent encounters in their life for them to
even act like it would be a violent encounter. Like, you never did nothing for you to say,
why a nigga ain't do something in that situation.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?

yo, why you ain't snuff son when,
you're like, what?
You serious?

Like, chill out.
So it's like, you gotta to come to grips with that.
But even if he said that, or when he said that,
you think that was coming from, like, the Philly thing?
Yo, I agree with him.
That's what people don't understand.
I did not know that Charlemagne didn't make Little Mama cry.
I text Charlemagne myself before Beans ever said that.
I said, damn, so you a foul nigga, son.
Like, you made Little Mama cry. Little mama father and him is from east new york i'm from the east i know them we dabble in the
same circle so it's like when i see that shit look back at the footage it was actually angela

holy shit like I was even like
oh I didn't know it was Angela
Yee it wasn't even him
so and it was like
Angela was being her
Angela just asked
when he said it I agreed in my
head not agreed on no shit like
yo why would you because I know Charlemagne
not scared to say nothing he's done it to too many niggas for you to even question it if he's scared to say something
to them he ain't scared to say nothing to niggas you know what i mean so that's why i didn't care
i was like whatever he could think what he want to think but when charlamagne said it and was like
nigga i ain't even the one man cry i was angry and was Angela Yee. And I'm like, what? And I had to look back on it.
I said, holy shawty, no.
I did, too.
I actually seen that when I looked back at an interview.
I was like, damn.
And it wasn't like Angela.
I just wanted to say something like that on this type of platform and be like, because she was just asking her.
You know, Angela's a sharpshooter.
As much as people might not realize it,
she's sitting there, she be throwing
military darts.
I need y'all to listen. I need
all y'all to look at Breakfast Club
interviews. I need all y'all to
do this, if you haven't realized
it, and watch Angela
Yee through the interviews.

They're so serious.
So how was it when
you're like,
what the fuck?
Now, for all three of them
