You know what I mean? To me, that just felt like some real shit, but, you know, Bankroll was a special kid, man. And he was down with 2 Chainz? Yeah, he was down with, you know, he was our little brother. He was definitely next up, you know what I'm saying? And he was our brother.

He ain't no funny shit. If he know you, he got love for you. And that's what that song was about, just celebrating that. Because we street niggas. We come from that. You know what I'm saying? And that was one of the better records that we did. But just to see the way people are reacting to it,

I just know he looking down like, you know, y'all keeping my legacy. You know what I'm saying? When I seen you, you still kept the record. Like, most people would have been like, you know, I can't shoot the video. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nigga, we gonna keep that shit a hundred. This shit about us. This our music.

This our culture. This the shit that we created. You know what I'm saying? We started making music in the fucking basement. We didn't have a vocal booth. You know what I'm saying? We started making music in the fucking basement. We didn't have a vocal booth. You know what I mean? Thug Motivation sold two million records. Let's make some noise for that. That shit sold two million records.

We didn't even have a vocal booth. We were recording in the nigga basement, making hits. Right. You know what I mean? So it's like shit. Let me tell you something. What we do when every artist comes here,

what we like to do is play a playlist of their whole shit. Yo, nigga, you got, do you, you got too many hits,

nigga? Yeah. You got, man, I'm sitting here like, my nigga got many hits, my nigga. But the thing about it

is like, it's ghetto gospel because if you have to go to my shows and shit, it's like, we understand, everybody else don't get that shit. But when I get to going through those records, I'm like, damn.

Because you can go all the way back and then go forward and go in the middle. You got some shits with Hov, and you got some shits with 2 Chainz. So for me, it's just like being there to go and get my shit off, because I know how hard I work. So when I touch that stage and to see people that really love what the fuck I do, that lets me know what a real hit is. Because, you know, I said to play on the radio, I said it'd be cool, you feel me? Like, you know, for a couple months. But 10 years down the line, you still perform the motherfucker.

The longevity of that record, yeah. You still perform at Trap or Die, nigga. Like, come on, man. That's real shit. Now, when every new artist comes out, right, I like to always go on to their shows, and I like to come on, man. That's real shit. When every new artist comes out, right, I like to always go into their shows, and I like to sneak in their show. I like to see what they is about.

I remember I went to a Jeezy show, and you, hands down, have the most loyal, dedicated fans. Yeah, no, they real. Like, they go crazy. And you put out that track list today. Right, right. Are you crazy? Your fans are going to kill you.

I'm like, I couldn't announce that you was on the show because I know that your fans would have been in my DMs like, did you hear the motherfucking trap I got on 3? Right, right. You know what I mean? Nah, man, that's shit. And you got a date with that title? Yeah, 10-28.

10-28, okay. 16, so that's October 28, a couple days before Halloween. I'm scared of these niggas. You know what I'm saying? Look, man, we ain't bullshit. You know what I'm saying? This shit real for me.

Now, the original Trap or Die was a mixtape. Yeah. Wow. Now, this is a full-fledged album. Yeah, because I just wanted to make it the best body of work when I started out. And it's like, you know, I'm in mixtapes. It's something I did. But by the way, when I did Trap or Die, that shit changed my whole fucking life. Because I remember sitting in the studio with Trick Daddy and Jazzy Faye and them telling me not to put a mixtape out.

I'm in the streets, nigga. I'm like, you know what I'm saying? And them telling me not to put it out. So I put the tape out and that shit changed my whole life. You know what I'm saying? And hadn't I put it out, I probably fucking been dead or incarcerated anyway, because that's what was going on. But I believed in myself enough to put that shit out.

And it was a mixtape. That shit had maybe like 20-something songs. And niggas ask me all the time, like, yo, what kept me going? Like, every bar, every verse, if you listen to that mixtape, you're looking at a superstar in the booth. But in the back of my mind, I'm like, I got to say the hardest shit ever. Because if they don't feel me, I'm not going to make it. You feel what I'm saying?

So every bar, every line was like, you know what I mean? Like real life shit. You know what I mean? And that's why I felt like people felt it so much. And that shit went, it was so crazy. I had to start putting out fucking the DVD. Because people didn't know what the fuck I look like It would come to the shows and niggas stand on stage and I'm doing my

You know me so now, you know just looking back, you know saying 20 20 hearts I just think that was the best shit I ever did and to come back now and do what I'm doing as far as Trapper dot 3 I'm definitely in a better place as a man. You know what I'm saying? And it's the big homie because I'm watching what these little niggas is doing. I'm like, and if you're the big homie on the block, you got to tell the niggas how to really get money. You got to tell the niggas how to really grind. You know what I mean?

You can't just sit back and let a nigga bump his head. You feel what I'm saying? So, you know, that shit got knowledge in it. That shit got real, you know what I mean? It's real life. You know what I'm saying? Your music has always been like

preaching without preaching. You can school somebody without trying to lose them. Because the young generation sometimes you teach them too much. So how did you develop like that? I feel like you like the ice cream of the South.

It's crazy. I learned from being around all I feel like you like the ice cure of the South. You know, it's crazy. I learned from being around older niggas, man. All my big homies, all the niggas that I ever fucked with when I was in the street was older than me.

But them niggas would ask me for advice all the fucking time. I'm like, yo nigga, you older than me. But my thought process is real.

You know what I'm saying? Because where I came from is like, if you fuck up, you're going to either be in a pine box or your ass going to the penitentiary.

And I made decisions before that cost people, you know, time out of their life. And, you know, because that was the decision as a boss. You know what I'm saying? So, like, when I got in the music game, I just applied the same thought process. Like, it's real. It's my real life. That's who I am. If you saw me 10 years ago, I'd be looking just like this, running around doing shit.

I had another product, by the way. You know what I'm saying? But that's who I was. So it's like when I got in this game, it was easy for me to talk to them because they understand. They want to hear a nigga tell you how to be a millionaire and still be who you are and not sell yourself short just to get some money. You know what I mean? We stand for more than that.

You know what I'm saying? You put me in a room, and niggas don't really understand that. Nigga, I run a Fortune 500 company on a fucking Boost Mobile phone. You feel what I'm saying? And that's what you're doing when you're a hustler. So to be in this game, if you really look at what's going on, this is the

new streets. These young niggas is making music. This is what it is. And it's like, and that's easy for me because I happen to know a little bit about that. You know about the distribution. Right, right.

So now it's just like, when I'm talking to these niggas, it's real. It's like, nah, nigga, you can do that. But dig this though. Did you trademark that logo? What's that?

The snowman. Of course. You trademarked it. I had to do it, man. I had to do it. Oh, you did trademark it. It's a business, man. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I need all mine. Because it got banned trademarked it. You had to do it, man. Oh, you did trademark it. It's a business, man. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. I need all mine. It got banned in the schools. Yeah. Like, why do people think that that's... Well, we know what the basis of it is.

That's not a snowman. That's a coke man. Yeah. Is that that? That's the foundation of it. I'm making no sense of the coke man. Goddamn it.

Goddamn it. Yo, I'm going to tell you the illest shit. It was cool when it was cool when it was cool. Right. But when motherfuckers start seeing how powerful you really are, you know what I'm saying, that's when they try to come with the fuck shit.

Me and Samuel Jackson talk about this shit all the time, real shit. Hold on. He just makes him noise. Right, right, right. Nigga friend with Samuel Jackson. God damn it. God damn it. We talk about, you know, he a real one.

So we talk about shit all the time, and it's like, because when he done my documentary, you know, he a real one. He a real one. All right, all right. He drink Avion. But it was cool until you, until motherfuckers started really seeing the power you have. You know what I'm saying? Because you represent people that's being demonized and told that they ain't going to never be shit. That's what I was told my whole life.

That shit fueled me so much to be who I am today. It's ridiculous. You feel what I'm saying? So it was cool when it was a cool thing. When they start seeing you having this power and you're able to talk to these people and they're really listening, that's when it becomes some shit we got to ban.

Because you think about it. You get any president. He can't get any president, any powerful motherfucker in the world. You can't get them in an arena and have 60,000 people recite every word for 30 minutes. You know what I'm saying? That's motherfucking powerful. You can mobilize people like that.

You feel what I'm saying? You can put them together. I'm good, my nigga. You can put them together and you can make them think the way they're supposed to think. So that's when they started doing all the fuck shit. But it's good because I had been through so much, I was already ready for this shit. You see what I'm saying? So it's like when they tried to ban it, that's cool. But y'all going to make this shit even bigger now because now y'all making it something I was already ready for this shit. You see what I'm saying? So it's like, when they tried to ban it,

that's cool, but y'all gonna make this shit even bigger now because now y'all making it something that we gotta stand up for. So what did they ban? Just the schools? They banned it in schools. They banned it in, you know,

a couple places, but, you know, that just really showed me some fuck shit because, you know, if it was a fucking snowman and fucking, you know, Lily White, fucking Idaho,

in real life, you wouldn't have shit to say. But it's this nigga running around ATL, you know what I'm saying, moving the right way, sitting down. And ain't nobody I can't sit down and talk to,

so you're not gonna just treat me like a nigga. You feel what I'm saying? So that's where they fucked up. And that shit represented hope. That shit represented the struggle. And that shit all started from a chain.

I remember going to get the chain. I wanted my jewel. I was like, yo, I want an ice-style snowman. Nigga said I was crazy. Best shit I ever done in my life. You know what I'm saying? So for me, that done in my life. You know what I'm saying? So for me,

that shit was just real. You feel what I'm saying? Like, real shit. So, let me ask you, because I heard there's a story that when L.A. Reid signed you,

you already had a Ferrari or a Lambo or something. Hold on, he said, of course. Of course. Let's make some noise. You stupid bastard.

Yo, it is snow, baby. It's snow. Yo, but I stupid man. You come on, man. Yo, it is snow, baby. It's snow, man. Yo, but I heard L.A. Green, I think you went to see him or picked him up. Right. And he said to you, I don't know what you're doing, but whatever you're doing, please stop. Yeah, I got you.

Is that true? Yeah, no, I promise, man. I'll never forget that. Because I remember I walked in the office. I had all this shit on, fucking Jacob Watson and all this crazy shit. I'm just sitting up there like, yeah, you know. It's like, you know, they talk about the deal. Like, it's got to be big.

If I got a million dollars worth of jewelry on, nigga, you got to give me a check. You got to be bigger than the charity. Right, right, right. And, you know, he was just. But one thing I can say about L.A. Reid, I got a lot of respect for him because he really, you know, embraces stars. You know what I'm saying? He knows how to make his artists stars. And he don't mind cutting a real check. Because you're out here, you're, embraces stars. You know what I'm saying? He knows how to make his artists stars. And he don't mind cutting a real check

because you're out here, you're giving them your culture. You're giving them your life. This ain't no fake shit. Niggas died behind this shit. We looking for you, L.A. Niggas, right. I heard you cutting them checks.

Niggas go through real shit. So it's like when you give them that, you give them a piece of the culture. Like, that shit should cost anybody because you're getting paid off for all my trials and my trills And all my bad experiences And all that shit

I really went through My pain, my struggle Blood, sweat, and tears Yeah, real shit I know rap shit like real shit Yeah, yeah, shit is gonna happen Give him some of your bottles We celebrating Trapper Doc

Yeah, yeah, let's go Give him his own bottle, god damn it And give him my Avion girls there Where they go? Yeah, yeah, yeah Could you come pop this for me, sweetheart? Oh, this is something We never had this before.

This is hard. We never think it's real pep in over here. Let's go out there. So look, on that being said, what made you stick with Def Jam? Because L.A. Wee signed you. Right. And he obviously went to Epic. Right.

What made you stay with Def Jam? I mean, I just feel like I was loyal to the building. You know what I'm saying? I'm a loyal dude, man. Steve Bartles in them? Yeah. I mean, outside of Steve Bartles. Right. What made you say the Def Jam? I mean, I just feel like I was loyal to the building. You know what I'm saying? I'm a loyal dude, man. Steve Bartles in them? Yeah. Big up to Ike? Yeah, shout out to Ike.

Shout out to everybody up there. You know what I'm saying? They're a real building. And, you know, over time, we became a family. So I understand. I respect L.A.'s move.

He's a businessman. But the family kind of changed because you started out with L.A. Right. And it's always weird being on a record label and other people... Yeah, yeah.

Okay, God damn it. Look at Jesus. Look at Jesus. I got to learn some shit. That way. I'm married. My wife over there, Jesus. I'm married.

I can't do none of this player shit you're doing. But I can respect it from afar. I can look for it from afar and say, God damn it, I respect this nigga. Right. God damn it. I'm going to pop my own shit. I'm going to pop my own shit.

I don't know if I'm going to get screamed on later on today. So I'm going to just play it safe. You know what I mean? No, but I got a lot of love for the building, man. And they changed my life. My nigga like, listen, I bullshit you not. I was on the road to prison. I was on the road to a pine box.

And, you know, I was able to do things. You know, come on, man. You talk to a nigga that had to go through all kind of fucking hoops and shit to get, you know, a house of my name. I mean, a house of somebody else's name. When you know nothing's spilled. Right, right, right. That's a real Jose Papa. This is not my first time.

You know what I'm saying? Better not spill it, girl. Right. You got a lot of pressure on you right now. Don't hit me with that shit. Look, she's still nervous. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. Wait a second. Just a second. Just a second. One second. I want to give it to you. You want me?

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. You got nervous on what's going on. That's all you have to do, baby. It's all good. Yo, Trapper Dog. There he is. Trapper Dog 3.

And Trapper Dog 3 is coming. That's right. 1028. 1028. 1028. You're the first artist that invited me as media. I've never been, like, a media guy. Right, right, right. And I came to your party, and who was it?

Ike? Prime 112? Prime 112. And I put my card down, and Ike said, what are you doing? Right. I said, I'm not used to being on a label. I forgot the label put the card down. Right, right, right. Yeah, but I'm very proud of you, Gigi. You know why? I said, I'm not used to being on a label. I forgot the label with the card down. Right, right, right.

Yeah, but I'm very proud of you, G's. You know what I'm saying? For sure, my nigga. Because you make the art that I make. We make street music. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? We're from the streets.

And for me coming before you, it's always good when you see another artist. You're like, he's doing it right. Right, right, right. He's doing it how I would do it. So I always appreciated you. I always campaigned you and felt you. And I really want to thank you for being a part of the Drink Champs.

Because this is the first time rappers is running media and we could come to us. And DJ. And DJ. I'm sorry. So we got a million people, God willing, we got a million people that come listen to us every week. So anytime you want to come and you want to kick in,

We want the artists to always feel comfortable, and we're going to celebrate Trapper motherfucking Dye today, and we're going to promote Trapper Dye 3. Because, by the way, your promotional team is on point. These niggas came ready. We got here.

They already had this show down. I'm still not over. This nigga had sparkles. This nigga the first. You got the other bottle? Give J-Rock that other bottle. J-Rock, come on here, man. My nigga just copped out, man.

For sure. You know what I'm saying? J-Rock, Mad Queens, Bridge, you know we love you. You going in. We're going to give you your own bottle of rosé.

You getting drunk tonight. You got no choice. You know what I'm saying? That's what real niggas do. But, Jeezy, you was one of the first. Like, in New York, we fucked with South music. Right, right, right. But, like, we didn't understand certain slangs and certain deliveries.

You was the first one that, hands down, took over New York. Right. But don't get it twisted now. I counted plenty bags to Super Thug. You sure you know. Let's make some noise for that. Let's make some noise for that. Plenty cans to Super Thug.

You feel what I'm saying? You suck. And do you really got an office in Magic City? Absolutely. Oh, God. It's next Superthug. You feel what I'm saying? You suck. And do you really got an office in Magic City? Absolutely. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's next to the stage. If you have time, if you want some business, you can meet me there.

Yeah, yeah. Give him a hop that, my brother. Give him a hop that, my brother. Yeah, you ever in the city? But, you know, it's crazy because, you know, a lot of my music even started from just Magic City. You know what I'm saying? I used to be the nigga in the club. Like, I'd go fuck up the money to get the look

so people would talk about the music. But then I would go hide in the back, so to speak, because I was a street nigga that was already poppin'. So I didn't want to be the street nigga trying to be a rapper when you already the coolest nigga in the club. And niggas like, yo, that shit is corny. I heard you say that.

I heard him say, listen, this is the craziest shit in the world. I heard you say this. Listen, I heard him say, listen, this is the craziest shit in the world. I heard you say this on Tax Stone Podcast. You said that when a street nigga tries to rap, and if he don't make it, it's over. He looks retarded. It's the end of his credibility. You know how many real niggas that's real niggas, but they want to rap just because there's other real niggas rapping, but they don't have no skills. So when

they don't make it, or if they don't make it, they look crazy. Because now the police know you. You talking that shit on record. This shit's so crazy. I be watching these niggas what they be doing on Instagram. I just be like, yo, my man, I just don't know. They outing themselves. I mean, it's crazy.

But it's because I feel like it ain't a lot of morals being set. Not at all. You know what I'm saying? That's why I feel like, you know, I got to really play the big homie role because you just got to know, like, some shit just ain't cool. You know what I mean? You got to be, you're going to be solidly, and that's the thing. Like, even when I was doing my thing, you know what I'm saying, you got to really have

passion, drive And determination To really pull that shit off Because I went from Being a nigga That was standing in the club You know what I mean Or going to a Jay-Z party And being a nigga

You know Down in my own section Popping you know 100, 200 bottles To actually standing Where he's at On the stage You know what I mean

Him having real conversations You know what I mean So I had to grind my way From that all the way To that point But there's a path to that Of course But you learn a lot of shit You know what I'm saying I had to grind my way From that all the way To that point But there's a path to that Of course But you learn a lot of shit

You know what I'm saying You're going to lose A couple people You know what I'm saying A lot of people You're going to lose A lot of people But it's good

Because like I tell people All the time Hatton I've been through All the shit I've been into the streets I would have never Fucked with this rap shit

Because this shit Is different So describe Describe you being knee deep in the streets and making that decision that I'm a rap. Oh, yo,

it was cold turkey. I had to go to war. A couple of your boys was like, what the fuck are you doing? I had to go to war type shit. I'm being for real.

It went down. My nigga like, because niggas, everybody went cool with that. So I had to move my whole neighborhood up. You know what I'm saying? I bought like four houses

beside each other and shit. Everywhere I went, I got three, four tour buses. Like, it was real for a long time. You know what I'm saying? I bought like four houses beside each other and shit. Everywhere I went, I got three, four tour buses. Like, it was real for a long time. You know what I'm saying? But I still... Because what's people looking at you like? You selling out? I mean, you changing and you get, you know, and I hate

the word fame because I was famous at the Amoco. I was a superstar there, so I don't give a fuck. You know what I'm saying? But like, if shit started to get better for you, then, you know, because you already dealing with real niggas. I tell niggas that every day. When I go do my shows, that's the first 48 crowd.

That's that real shit. You know what I'm saying? Real Dade County fuck with me. Real Fort Lauderdale. I don't put in real work. These niggas know me. Like, you know what I mean? I just left Fort Lauderdale.

Like, very comfortable. These are my niggas. We've known each other for decades. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, just with this shit, it just gets tricky because it's almost like it ain't really a lot of morals in this business. So you have to bring your morals with you. There's no morals. Right.

So it's like, you can't just go for it. You got to have a strong heart and your strong morals. And you got to be solid. You got to let a nigga know you ain't shit to play with in real life. You know what I'm saying? You can be as famous as you want to be, but I know these people, and they love me for a lot of different reasons. But just going through that whole grind, coming from that to being where I was,

I had to go cold turkey. It took a lot of discipline, man. A lot of discipline. You get a lot of money. You want to get no money. You know what I'm saying? So it was like. What's your first rap check?

Like when you first got it, was you like, it's worth it? Or you were still thinking about it? Two star. I would imagine it was worth it at first. First real rap check. Nigga called me. Shots out of the Big John plant. He called me.

I'm on the road. That's the publishing company, right? I'm doing, I'm doing, you know, my shows and shit. So I'm, you know, running around bag money. So he's like, yo, I'm doing, you know, my shows and shit, so I'm running around bag money. So he's like, yo, I got this, you know,

you got the publishing deal done. Lawyer got everything done. So I'm in Chicago, I'm about to hop on a jet. This nigga come running down the runway, like I got to, you know,

he was trying to give me the check. So I ain't never had a check in my life. You know what I'm saying? So he's like, give me a check for all these,

you know what I mean? It's real. I looked at the shit, folded it up, and gave it to them. I was like, well, shit, will you just hold on to it? Because I don't know what to do with it. You feel what I'm saying? So I gave it to them. And this shit's so crazy because it happened with my first Def Jam check as well.

Nigga, I got my Def Jam check and had to call L.A. Reed 8, 9, 10 months later and ask them could they refund us the check because I never cashed it. It already expired. Right, so they like, they sitting around like, how the fuck you buying all these cards, dude? I was like, nigga,

I want my own money. You know what I'm saying? So I didn't even touch that shit. You know what I'm saying? And even with the, you know, the publishing situation, I had to call this dude and actually say,

hey man, my accountant is telling me that the check is no longer good. Yeah, yeah. And could you give it to me? He said, man, you mean to tell me it's been a fucking year and a half.

You're getting savings right now. You ain't fucking... You know what I'm saying? You're lucky that company ain't go bankrupt. Right. You're lucky they still want to reissue the check. But not even on no bullshit. I'm saying all that to say is because,

you know what I'm saying, you're talking to a young street nigga who just, you know, really trying to figure the world out but doesn't really know a lot about business. Right. You know what I'm saying? But then when I start applying my business skills to what the world out, but doesn't really know a lot about business. Right. You know what I'm saying? But then when I start applying my business skills

to what I learned before, it all started to make sense. Right. You know what I'm saying? You know what the illest thing about selling drugs is? When you get out the money, it's the thrill. Right. It's just the thrill of, you know,

however you do it, you're sitting in the car, you don't know if this nigga the police. Right, right. And rap really, truly does give you a thrill. However you do it, you're sitting in the car. You don't know if this nigga the police. And rap really, truly does give you that thrill. Man, it's crazy you say that because it's like, I used to sit down and think to myself, like, what the fuck? I know I'm better than this. Like, well, what can I do to still be me?

And when you say this, you're talking about? You know, just street shit, period. You know what I'm saying? Because you're watching what's going on. You're seeing the nigga mentality. You know, we growing up okay you know i'm saying because you're watching what's going on you're seeing a nigga mentality you know we growing up you know you think the world is your neighborhood like you don't know you can go to fucking france and london and canada and all this shit like you don't even know like you think the corner store and it said like in the way i grew up nigga it was real like many like you couldn't go square miles you couldn't

go across the street it was a whole nother gang over there like you couldn't go to their store so it's two stores one store over here one store a whole other gang over there. You couldn't go to their store. So it was two stores. One store over here, one store over here. You go over there, your ass is fucked up. They come over here, it's on. So you think that's the world, and you're sitting around watching what people are doing. You're like, damn, okay. But in my mind, I'm just like, I'm bigger than all that.

So when I started just sitting back and just watching with music, I was very passionate about music. But when I really started seeing that it was real, I was going and I was putting my money into niggas. You feel what I'm saying? So I had a record label. And the niggas was street niggas. Before you rhyming? Yeah. You had a record label? That's how I started.

I had a record label. You know what I'm saying? In the hood. You know what I'm saying? Side of everybody. Your first rap name was Young J? Lil J. Lil J.

Right. That's what they called me at the Amacom. So you was the one funding the other rappers. Right. And so one of my artists, he got killed. I mean, he got a murder charge. And the other nigga got this and that and that. So I got all this fucking studio equipment.

And I ain't got no artists. So it was like, did the money getting tight? You know what I'm saying? Right. I was like, shit. My man was like, shit, you might as well give it a shot, bro. You the realest nigga in the room. You can't ease the ear.

That motherfucker. Right. No, and that's real shit. And I just started going the fuck around. But my whole thing was how I knew it was going to be great for me is because I go hard. If I'm into something, I'm just solid. If I fuck with you, I fuck with you. If we doing something, I'm going to get that shit 180%, keep 20 for myself.

So I always knew I had a niche, but I just had to figure out How to get people to understand Where I was coming from So a lot of the shit That I was saying Was too real So I would say shit Because it was real to me And as I started to get successful It just started causing me

Problems in the streets Because niggas like Why you saying that? Why you telling me Like you're hearing it out? Yeah, like you're really dry snitching But I'm like Nigga, this is my life

Right, right You know what I'm saying? Nigga, I'm not a carpenter I can't talk about Building no motherfucking house Nigga I'm not a mechanic I don't't talk about Building no motherfucking house Nigga I'm not a mechanic I don't know about that shit

I know about this So it just was causing You know just a lot of friction But you know I just had to stand my ground And stay solid But you know At the same time

Just coming in there It just You know it just made it real Because I started singing You know Because even now You go out to the club Everybody got cameras and shit

Yo it should be times Nigga if you took a picture In the club While we was in there We was going to beat your ass. Take your camera. You know what I'm saying? It was like, them fans, who's that? You know what I mean?

So now you see it. But it went from that to being, you know, just come, like I might walk through 112 or Visions, and people would be like, yo, Jeezy, I fuck with your music, man. 112 was a club. Right, right, right. Let's go ahead. So it was, you know, I fuck with your music. And I 112 was a club. Right, right, right. So it was, you know, I fuck with your music

and I'm just like, all right. So it started feeling like people was paying people to say that shit to me because I was like, there's no way. Now, you know

what the crazy shit is? You know what the crazy shit is? We were taught, we would grow up, we grew up to avoid cameras. Right. When you hustling on the street,

you would stupidly avoid cameras and you become a rapper for you to be like comfortable with cameras, it's crazy. I always know a real street nigga. When I look at their first interviews, and the nigga's like, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? I'm like, he ain't shy.

I'm like, he ain't shy. He's a real one. And I always knew that about you. In the beginning of your career, you used to be like, you know what I mean? Yo, it was so hard to do interviews because they would ask me about real shit. Right. And I'd be like. And the shit you was rapping about.

Right. But I had to, you know, I've been in interrogation rooms plenty of times. I get shit up out of me. I would talk circles all around there. But it was like, you know, they would ask me real questions. You know, double X sales. So what it was like when you,

you know what I mean? Like they was cops and shit. Right. You know what I'm saying? So you're doing radio interviews. It's like, yo, this street shit,

I can't talk about this shit on air or in this magazine for you to have a story and me to look crazy. Like, no, nigga, I got to die with this shit.

You know what I'm saying? Like, this is forever. You know what I mean? So it took me a while to kind of just, you know, like warm up to that

because it was like, okay, cool. And then when they can stop asking me because there's one thing of just, you know, like, warm up to that. Because it was like, okay, cool. And then when they can stop asking me, because that's one thing about me, my nigga. Like, it's all up there. If you ask me some ignorant shit, I'm going to give you an ignorant answer. I'm not an ignorant nigga. You can't tell me that.

You know what I'm saying? Ain't nobody from where I'm from did the shit I did. And that's because I'm smart like that. Because everything I think about is strategic in a street way. Particulous. I'm going to keep it 100 right now. I sold cocaine since 11 years old. Since 11 years old.

I sold cocaine by mistake. A nigga gave me a tennis ball and said, listen, you're just a young nigga. Was it the Carat Swamp Tennis Ball? Yes, it was. Right? And so I can really tell. Like, there's only two people in this whole industry that I think sold more drugs than me. Right, right, right, right.

And that's Jay-Z. Right. And Jesus. Right, right, right. For some reason, I know you sold more than me. Hold him is ill, too, because I'll be, like, I'll be fucking with him about some shit. Then I hear some bars, I'll be like, all right. You know what I mean?

I'll be like, yo, this nigga really, uh. Like, push your T. Push your T. I just feel like I sold more than all right. You know what I mean? I be like, yo, this nigga really, Like, push your T, push your T. I feel like I sold more than you, push your T. I'm just sorry. Right,

I'm just saying, I'm just keeping it out there, throwing it out there. It's my nigga. He know that. I smoked him another day, but, y'all,

yo, you was moving them things at one point. But that nigga, you know, what I respect about J-Doe is he's so far removed, but he still can,

you know, talk that shit. But see, that's what it's all about because, I mean, you know removed, but he still can, you know, talk that shit. But see, that's what it's all about. Because, I mean, you know, these niggas really, you know, lightweight, you know, got it easy. Because I ain't even started talking about the new shit. I'm still digging in my memory. You know what I'm saying? I'm still playing from, you know, what happened.

I haven't talked about, you know, none of my success or, you know, places I'm able to go and the things I'm able to do. Like, I don't really get into that because it's like, you know, that's my life. But if you want to hear about the time that, you know, I didn't think it was going to be all good and I figured that shit out. Because, you know, to be in the streets, you got to really, you know, you got to really think to be a boss. You know what I'm saying? Because it's real. Like, you're playing a real chess game. It's never checkers. You know what I mean?

It's chess. So you you're playing a real chess game. It's never checkers. You know what I mean? It's chess. So you got to think like that. So, you know, just coming from that whole element of it and coming into the rap game and all that, it's just like,

it's all the same shit. So you put the pieces together and that's how you move and really be a boss. So, you know, like when you hear niggas like Jay say certain shit, you got to really know

that nigga like... Like you recognize him. You recognize him. You recognize him. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, that make a lot of sense. All right. You know what I'm saying? So, you know,

and I love to see that, man. I love to be around cats that you can really, you know, just be a sponge off of that really did it because even for him, like his business shit

is fucking immaculate. But you gotta know that came from his other job. Exactly. Exactly. It didn't come from rap. It's a immaculate. But you got to know that came from his other job. Exactly. It didn't come from rap. It's a nigga from Brooklyn. You feel me? And it's the same thing.

When I'm from Georgia, I go to fucking New York. Just left. They give me real love. You know what I'm saying? They treat me like. You want to go to your own person? No, I'm good, my nigga. All right, cool.

They give you real love. You know what I'm saying? And that's because they respect your hustle. You know what I'm saying And that's because They respect You know what I'm saying Your hustle You know what I'm saying They respect your moves Well that's worldwide

The hustle is worldwide Yeah Yeah But it's so Kind of fugazi now Because you know A nigga You know

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.

So now, Geezy, right? I used to see you, and it used to almost feel like you didn't want to fuck with the game at all.

As far as the music? It felt like being a part of the industry, period. Nah, I didn't. Still don't. I'm going to tell you where I think I seen the change. After you had caught the case and you came home. You just seemed more relaxed. You seemed like you enjoyed things better. You started doing

more interviews. You started coming out. Did I assess that right? Yeah, man, because what the motherfuckers did and how they handled me and how they treated me. Who's they? The police.

I'll say it if you don't want to say it. I'm going to say it. How they handled me is like they treated me. Who's they? Who's they? The police. The police. I'll say it if he don't want to say it. I'm going to say it. How they handled me is like, I'm on tour. Some shit happened. I'm not there. You follow me to two states. I'm at two cities over.

You follow me from Oakland to LA. Last show of the tour. We supposed to be popping ball and celebrating. You got fucking 50 detectives and 100 officers at my bus to get me off. You know what I'm saying?

Lock me up. Every time we get to something deep in our podcast, Elliot Wilson. That's Elliot Wilson. You know who Radar is? Yeah, right, right. They hate us. They hate us, man. It was just eye-opening.

To be honest with you, being locked up out there, that was my first unselfish moment. In L.A.? Yeah, because I heard. How long did you live? I was in there. I mean, put it this way. It was about two and a half, three weeks, but it was a long two and a half, three weeks. Let me tell you why.

Okay. I thought that I was being detained for having an assault. Like you would have got out the next day. Right, because one of my mans had an assault. Was that murder assault? Yeah, But my man had an assault rifle. So that's what they took us down for. So I'm ready to pay everybody's bond to get us out because this ain't my

homies. This ain't my shooters. These are my employees. My bus driver. My camera guy. My assistant. You know what I mean? People like that. So these ain't like street niggas with me. But I'm thinking we all locked up for the assault rifle that my man, you know, left on the bus because he got actually shot when Shield got shot.

And it was in the club. Oh, yeah, that's right, Chris Brown. So that's how they really got me because they knew me. Oh, this is kind of recent, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, the whole time I'm thinking I'm there for that. When I get to, you know, you go to the little barn here in the city, like, well, your bill is a million dollars, your bill is a million dollars.

I'm like, what the fuck happened? So that's when I find out about the murder. So I'm calling home, you know, I'm talking to my peoples and, you know, mom and everybody crying, like, what the fuck going on? He's like, well, you trying to charge your mother? I ain't know none of this. I ain't gonna lie. The way they were describing it, listen, because when the news

broke and the shit, and I was like, they ain't get them out yet? I even tweeted. I said, man, Def Jam ain't the same. No, no, but I'm going to tell you the realest shit in the world. So, you know, you go in there, it's real. It's L.A., it's county jail. Yeah, L.A. County, and that's some crazy shit. It's real, you know what I'm saying? I'm 5'8", 200 pounds.

My heart is huge. But I'm not about to leave, you know, because the thing about it, they wanted property. Well, that's how they tried to play me. Like, I tried to do cash. They didn't want to do cash. It's six people, a million dollar bond apiece. You know what I'm saying?

Six million? Yeah, six million. So they didn't want to do cash. And they started saying something about property. So all my team was sending people down there to get me out. Right. As soon as I got locked up. Right.

But the whole thing was, I can't leave these motherfuckers in here. Right. Like, this is real. Like, this is real life. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, so I can I got locked up. Right. But the whole thing was, I can't leave these motherfuckers in here. Right. Like, this is real. Like, this is real life. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, so I can't just leave them. That shit can turn into more time.

Right. And not even that. And it was like, you know, they like, you got to get out. You the brand. I said, listen to me, man. These people have been working hard for me this whole tour. There's no way in the fucking world that I'm going to walk out of here a free man and leave them here. Now, what I'm going to do is y'all go figure everything out.

Let's figure out what property we need to get together. And I'm going to sit here with the crew until it's time to go. So I sat there for the whole two weeks with everybody. I ain't going to fly. I don't know that. They should come knocking on the seat and wake me up. Like, yo, come here. Come here.

Come here, man. I'm like, yo, what's up? It's the little guy, man. He's tough, man. He's still here. He come here. Come here. Come here, man. I'm like, yo, what's up? It's the little guy, man. He's tough, man. He's still here. He's hanging in there. He ain't leaving his crew. You know what I'm saying?

Because it was like, I was, you know, it's county town. So, you know, you got to, you ain't accepting nothing. It's real. They ain't put you in the VIP cell? No, man. Nah, they ain't going to do that in L.A., man. They tried. But, you know, niggas was like.

L.A. got a VIP. No, for the actors. If you activate. Oh, maybe. It was like, yo, we going to take you in here with everybody. I'm like, shit, let's do it. As soon as I hit the door, it was like Tupac came in and was like, yo, yo, what up? Whole block going crazy.

I was like, damn. So for me, you know, but that was like one of my first like real just unselfish moments because it was like I can't leave them in here. So I stayed down to the whole thing. When I finally got out, to answer your question, it was like, you know, I tried to be as, you know, different as I could possibly be, but when I got put in the situation, they still treated me like a nigga, you feel what I'm saying?

And I already wasn't living my life to the fullest because I was, you know, guarded, you feel what I'm saying? So they still treat me like a nigga. I'm an executive at Atlantic Records. I got a fucking million dollar tequila company. And you made President Obama, and you put President Obama in the office. I got all type of real estate brand tequila company. And you made President Obama and you put President Obama in the office.

I got all type of Let's make some noise for you. Let's make some noise. Let's make some noise for you to put President Obama in the fucking office. And I got all this shit going on and they treat me like a nigga.

So, like, when it was all said and done, you know, when I finally got out, I was just like, you know what, fuck it,

I'm just gonna live my life, man. It just is what it is. I ain't gonna say, you know, guard it and sit back because I'm, because, you know, niggas tell me all the time, like, yo, dawg, you do realize you're not in the street no more. You know what I'm saying? I'll be like, oh, you know what I mean?

Because you out here. You know what I mean? But, you know, to answer your question, it was just like, you know, if y'all want to know and it ain't no goofy shit, I'll tell you. If you ask me a real question, I'll give you a real answer. If you ask me some ignorant shit, I'm going to be an ignorant nigga. That's just as plain as that. Let's make some noise for that.

I mean but you know Like look man You know I'm a real one man If it's If you know If the situation Is real And is a real problem

It's a problem But when there's A misunderstanding And it ain't the right Communication going on Between people I get that That shit happens

All the time So you know Even with that whole Situation you know It was just some shit That I felt like It would stick out of context. But, you know, I'm always staying, you know, my ground. You feel what I'm saying?

So once I had to understand what was going on, it was cool. It wasn't really nothing. Ain't nobody touching nobody's mama. Ain't nobody paying nobody money. You know what I'm saying? Ain't nobody fucking with your family. So it was like, all right, I get that. So at the end of the day, it's just like, you know, look, man, you know, we the next, you know, we the next billionaires.

You know what I'm saying? We the next niggas that's really going to run this world. So it's like if a motherfucker from Harvard and Yale can get along and make millions of dollars, why the fuck we can't get along if it's, you know, if it's about taking care of our families and making sure our team's straight. If it ain't a real problem. I've seen Mexican cartels get along long enough to get some money together. You feel what I'm saying? So it's just like, why not? Because that's what they want to see. They feel like all of us are ignorant.

Just because we get some money, we got ignorant. But you ain't always think like that. No, you're right. You're maturing. Listen, man, we're still... I understand it a little bit better now. Because I don't have to be an angry black man You know what I'm saying I'm too blessed in too many ways

You saw that movie The 13th? Nah You didn't see that movie? Nah I didn't see it You didn't see that movie The 13th? But I don't have to be just angry Because now I look at shit from a real perspective Instead of a rapper

I've seen niggas go do 10 years in prison and come home and be the better man they ever been their whole life and get more done. Because they're more focused. So if these niggas thinking that these first 10 years was something, wait till they see the next 10. Tell them. This is hip-hop. They won't try to count you out. We ain't gonna quit. That's cool, but see, they can count me out because

they talking hip-hop. I'm talking street shit. I'm talking about these niggas out here who really love what the fuck is going on They don't give a fuck about the rap world Or what the next niggas say Now we're going to show you how we do that drink chat It's eye to eye Believe that

Yeah, right. But you from L.A., nigga. I ain't from L.A., so I'm kind of Mexican. I got a lot of respect for the Mexicans, man.

No, no. My Mexican people, we all Latino people, period. For one, they be on some gangsta shit. They stick together. For two, they get money. I fuck with it all the way. Hell yeah, hell yeah. Let's make some noise while it's being racist.

Come on, goddamn it. You Puerto Rican. You Puerto Rican. You all the way black on me right on. You're Puerto Rican. You're just black. You're always black on the radio. I get confused. I get confused. But it's always both.

I'm in a line of both races, black and fucking Latino. We all the same, brother. We all together, man. So you made my president is black before Barack got elected. I did it like maybe like four, five months before he got elected. All right, let's just pitch it. If he didn't get elected. But listen, he would. No, it was.

By the way. What happens if he didn't get elected? You couldn't foresee that. Really? You could not foresee that. Listen, man. That man's been in the office. No, I know.

But the way that America sets itself up. It was time. He'd been in the office eight years, two terms. You ain't heard nothing crazy about this man. Nothing. Crazy. Nothing. This is a black man in power.

I smoke blunt. But I feel that he's also made sure that nothing crazy is going to come out of him. Donald Trump ain't even been in the office yet. He already talking about touching pussies and shit. I'm not grabbing pussies. So what are you going to do if My president doesn't touch pussies. Just think about that shit, though. You already see where his mind is at.

He's not for us. He's for him. I was going to trap and die today. You know what you said? You said, I'm Trump in white socks. Don't get me wrong. We got to take that. No, no. I respect his business sense. Really? You do? I respect the fact that he gets money and his family is straight.

I respect that. You can have $500 million. His business sense ain't your business sense. He got money from his father. You can have real money and still be a fuck nigga. He turned politics into a smack DVD. That's what he did.

Politics is now a battle rap. If you really watch what he did, he really took offense when Barack shined on him at the Correspondents Dinner. And his pride got in the way. And now he's spending all his money. He's a sucker. He's spending all his money and his time to make a point. He's a sucker that always gets mad. Because when you're that rich, you have to make points.

You're not going to let a black man talk to you like that with all these powerful people around. You heard. You and your pride. Is hip-hop strong enough to really elect Kanye 2020? Okay, listen. Are we strong enough? I fuck with Kanye. I don't think so.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hit me up. I'm playing you. I'm playing you. I fuck with Kanye. We got Obama elected. I love his music. I'm playing you. I'm playing you. I'm playing you. We got Obama elected. I love his music. No, let me pitch it.

I don't know if I want him to be my president, though. I'm just going to keep it a secret. Don't do it. Don't do it. Listen, Kanye is my guy. The arts would be crazy, though, if Kanye is president. Listen, listen. It's a possibility that Trump may be ours.

Kanye ain't worse than Trump. I'm willing to tell you this right now. There's no way in the world that America is going to let Donald Trump run it. Mark my words. Hillary Clinton will win. And I'm saying that for a lot of reasons. You know what I'm saying?

You sound mad smart right now too. I'm being for real. I don't watch this shit. I'm a taxpayer. I give them a lot of my money. Hillary Clinton has real resources. She's dealt with world leaders. She has Bill Clinton in her corner. But he also made the three strikes law.

Yeah. Not to say that they're right. It's like light skin to the dark skin, which you're going to choose tonight. You know what I'm saying? But the reason why you shouldn't say that is because there's a slight chance that there is that part of America that hasn't voted

before that comes out and votes. And we need to make sure that our part of America comes out and votes. All I'm going to say, okay, so what I will say, okay, so let's take Kanye out of the pitch against my guy. You know what I'm saying? I will say this, though.

It'll be cool, though. We have a fly president. Vice president first. I just think this, man. If Donald Trump was to ever get in office, I just think that America wouldn't be great again and it wouldn't be anything like it.

I think that, too. If he gets into office, even if he if he get into office Even if he don't get into office Right now the way his campaign is set up It's set up like yo Hov You could really do it in 2020 Fuck it we don't want Kanye And admit you're a drug dealer

This nigga Cause he ain't denying none of this But by the way the Republican party is like the most boringest party in the world You know what I'm saying? He's just giving them excitement. They never had that. The niggas are square. And he wasn't a Republican to start with.

That's the craziest shit. He wants to win. He don't give a fuck if he got to be a penguin. He don't care. Whatever the fuck he got to be. He don't give a fuck if he got to be a penguin. He don't give a fuck. He don't give a fuck.

As long as he fucking win. He was down with Hillary earlier. Listen, man. Dude has a lot of money. You know, I respect his business sense. But listen, man. This is real shit. You know what I'm saying?

My people out here are going through it. You know what I'm saying? Every day. Niggas is getting killed. These police is out of hand. It's the worst election ever, though. This shit is real right now. So it's apples and oranges.

If I had to pick an apple and orange, I'm going to pick the orange. You know what I'm saying? If I don't have to pick it all, I'm not going to pick at all. So did we just endorse Hillary Clinton? Is this what just happened? I'm not endorsing anybody. I'm just saying if I had to pick out of two things, then I have to make my best decision based on what I see.

I'm not saying that's the best decision for me. I'm not saying it's the best decision for my kids. I'm just saying this is the choice that you have. But what I will say is Barack been in office eight years. Yeah. Gaddafi, Ben Laden. He killed them all. You know what I'm saying?

He got that. So he on this gangster shit. He bodied them. You know what I'm saying? Immediately. I can't say I condone Gaddafi all the way. That's a new use code. To be quiet.

The way he handles shit on other places. Gaddafi was a little suspect. He handles shit like a Chicago nigga on the scene. He's like, he from Chicago. To be clear. The way he handles shit on other places, he handles it like a Chicago nigga overseas. He from Chicago, nigga. He handles it. Bigger than my Chicago niggas. I relate. He got into,

you know, he got into a situation where it was already fucked up. Right. So the only thing he could do was just ride it out. No, no, for sure. For sure.

So when he's gone, they're going to really realize how strong that shit was. I agree with you. And he reversed the deficit. People don't know that. They don't know that about him. If I had a choice, I would have hoped that Joe Biden would have ran.

And he wanted to, but then I think his son died or something like that. I was at the W in L.A. Joe Biden stayed there, my nigga. Right. They said, you can't walk through the lobby. Joe Biden covered through. I said, I'm straight. Did you say, I don't know what the other, what it at?

I said, let Joe Biden go through safe. Obama free the most people, man. Obama freeing niggas. Yeah, he freeing. No, I'm not talking about Jay Rob. I'm not talking about the rest of the world or how I know. Again. How I know.

Like, when I say for the people, I mean, you watch the whole board. Now, when I did My President's Black I didn't just do a song I fucking chartered buses I fucking put in money at the radio stations To promote And letting people know they can come out and vote I had lawyers go talk to people in the hood

And let them know even if you had strikes against you You could do, because this was a real thing You know what I'm saying? Yeah, all that So, because this was a real thing. You know what I'm saying? This is like about our future. Yeah, all that. So, two stories. So, I get a call to come to a dinner in New York

with Obama. You know what I mean? Invited. Cordially invited. Cool. I go by the home crew. I go by the home crew. Wait, that's a story, man. That's a big dick. I go by the home crew. Top four suits, all this shit. So, we ready's a big dick. I go by the old crew, Tom Ford, Suits, all this shit, so we ready to go.

So I get to the event. Right, I go to the event, and I get out the truck, you know, Trey Songz, Kevin Lowes, everybody. Hey, you know, what we doing? You know what I mean? GZ is not clear.

Right. So the Secret Service told me I couldn't come. Oh, damn. Did they pull you to the side? No, it was embarrassing. No, no, no. I didn't know that.

I didn't know that. My bad. No, it was straight up embarrassing. And, you know, I took it on the chin. All right, cool. So, you know, I left. So imagine you getting there, everybody going in, Oprah, this one, that one. And he's like, yeah, you know, this is it.

And you was a part of that movement, too. And I did a lot of work. You know what I mean? I'm like, this is my guy. You know it wasn't personal. And I get there and I just see him at Secret Service talking to my team and it's just like, and they come back. I see my guy shaking his head. He come back. He was like, man,

you're not going to believe it. They don't want you to come in. I was like, Obama don't want to see me? Snow? He don't want to see Snow? Nah, it definitely wasn't Obama. It definitely wasn't Obama. So I turned around. That's the whole thing of our show. We keep trying to get niggas out.

Oh, well, fuck it. Fuck it, man. Let's do it. That's the whole thing. I ain't on no probation no more. We cool. All right, cool. So I go to the fucking, I go to the hotel, and I'm just sitting there.

I'm like, all right, cool. You know, I'm telling my son I'm going to see Obama and all that. He's like, dad, how it go? Oh, shit. Nigga, they ain't let us in. Right. So anyway, I leave New York go back to Atlanta

you know go do my thing and shit and um so they started asking me in interviews you know just about Obama you know and my temperature

kinda changed on it it was kinda it was kinda like well you know you were supposed to yeah it's natural it's natural

and um it really took me to sit down with Farrakhan you know what I mean like and we just talked about it and I was just like yo I just don't understand that. But he don't like Obama.

Right. But what I didn't understand was how I can go so hard for somebody, but they would keep me at arm's distance. No, but it was your background. Right. Of course. It definitely was nothing personal. I had some investigation shit going on. Then he bigged you up, though.

Okay, but that was a thing. Now, that's what lets me know that he's a real leader. He's a real nigga. I'll say it for you. Right. Real nigga. He's a real nigga. He felt fucked up.

He was like, yo, he can really do so much in that position, guys. Let me paint in your head what happened to you. Obama was in the back in the high. Maybe he wasn't in the high. I'm sorry. That was fucked up. Yeah, he wasn't getting high. But here in the back, he's sitting there getting wasn't getting high. I'm sorry. That was fucked up. Yeah, he wasn't getting high. But here in the back,

he's sitting there getting his voltage fixed. Right, right, right. He's like, yo, who came? They said, you know, like, oh, yeah, oh, tell that nigga I'm going to fuck with him later.

Boom. What happened to Jay-Z? They said, his record didn't clear. Ali didn't let him in. That's in our world. In our world. Nah, don't abuse Ali. This let him in That's In our world In our world Nah don't abuse Ali

This is his past But they said Damn Gigi's record Ain't clear Obama felt fucked up Right He knew he had to holler Y'all are back

Right right right In some real nigga way Nah but listen That's what he did Cause my mom come out I was in London She was like yo You know the president

Shouted you out last night The correspondent Like your mom You bugger What'd he say though I saw that live What he said was Because my mom come out, I was in London. She was like, yo, you know the president shouted you out last night, the correspondent did. Like, man, you bugger. What did he say, though? I saw that live. What he said was, his first term, he sang Al Green. And my second term, I'm going to sing Young Jeezy. Let's make some noise for the president.

God damn it. God damn it. But that, to me, showed me that he had ice in his veins and he's a class act. Because if I can't stand around a little nigga that I respect, I'm going to get on the stage and I'm going to be like, shout out to... He stood by you.

But without having to do that, and that tells me that's presidential. You know what I'm saying? He knew what you did for him. He ain't going to stand by that. Right. And And that to me Is presidential quality And I respect that But going back to main man

Donald Trump It's just nothing about His character Who is Jeezy voting for? He don't know yet I think you should say I wanna vote for Jeezy. I think you should say you want to vote for Jeezy. If I had to vote. This is 2020.

If I had to vote, I definitely would vote for Hillary. Because Hillary. I don't care for Hillary, but we need to vote for Hillary. Everybody vote for Hillary. Let's make some noise for Hillary. God damn it. So, because 2020, Jeezy, this is what I think we should do. I think we should put one of our own in there.

You know one thing I love about puff is no matter how much... You want to put puff in the White House? It's a rock for everybody. Listen, if Trump coming that near to it, why not elect our Trump?

Listen, first of all, I want to clear something up too, because in the text-throwing interview they kind of ended it up. Yeah, clear it up. Clear it up. We're not eating shit.

It was like I compared Trump to Tupac. I did. But, you know, before you ask me any ignorant questions out there,

people listen to the whole interview. That's what's wrong with black people. They don't like to read shit. They don't like to listen to shit. Listen to everything. I was That's what's wrong with black people. They don't like to read shit. They don't like to listen to shit. Listen to everything. I was saying that he's the hottest nigga in politics.

If he was to put an album out, he would go diamond right now because he's that nigga. And that's how I felt about the part of the same time. He would have the hottest mixtape right now. Right, right. Shout out to Chris Alice in the building. What lets me know that he's... Chris Green in the building. What lets me know that he's who he say he is?

I sit there, I'm watching CNN. This motherfucker... First of all, to be the president, you only make about $400,000 a year. You don't make shit.

That's fucking jet fuel for this nigga. Just to be clear. That's a text right off of his sushi and all the other same shit he like. That's one night of sushi.

Right. So you watch this dude fly in on his own and all the other things that he liked. That's one night of sushi. You watch this dude flying on his own jet. Keep in mind that Air Force One that Obama flies in, that's given to him from the government. He flies in on his 747s or whatever it is

to Cleveland. Gets in a helicopter to fly one mile over To a baseball field To meet and greet some people And then get in his truck And go to whatever event he had to go to Now

If that doesn't sound like The nigga from the hood to me To pull out all his cars And pull up to the club And let you know what he's working with All he needs is the pop-up Right Pop-up

He's good He's basically Get a sparkle girl Mark some more shit I don. He's got sparkle. He's basically keeping it. Get a sparkle, girl. Walk some more shit. I don't know. Just keep it. He's basically saying, I got it.

Hell yeah. You know what I'm saying? So you got to respect that and know that's what you're dealing with. You're dealing with somebody who's very aware that he has a lot of shit going. And by the way, and I tell people all the time, they're like, yo, you tripping. I'm like, yo, man, listen, man. That guy's so smart. His brand was cool.

You always know how this shit go. Rich people want to be famous and famous people want to be rich. You know what I'm saying? He... ZZ's dropping chips.

You know what I'm saying? Like, he's going for it. This the dude that did... He got his own show. But do you really think he's smart right now? Listen. No, think about it.

Think about what he's doing to his brand. You talking about his brand? His brand. Yo, by the way. Think about what he's doing to his brand. You're talking about his brand? His brand. Yo, by the way, he don't give a fuck about his brand. He hot, and whatever money he had is going to flip four times by the time he's done doing what he's doing. Because before, his brand, the Trump everything was for the elite. I love that drink cash went political right now.

For the elite, right? You know what I'm saying? For the elite. Like, elite people could pay For the golf course Or the hotel Now his brand Has shifted Yo by the way He doesn't

He ain't even That's old news Man this dude Trying to fucking do A television network Same way Puff did Revolt and everything I was like

He's a businessman though He deal with people That do a business They the most cutthroat people But I think he's so smart He know he might not win Yo by the way So what is his out

What is his out By the way We getting too political I'm about to switch No no no Let's keep it By the way By the way His out? What is his out? We getting too political I'm about to switch No, no, no Let's keep it By the way His out

His out Is what he does All this bullshit That's coming up on him He ain't showing his taxes That's his out He don't give a fuck Who wants all that burden?

Who wants to deal with that shit? No, he's definitely not Showing none of that shit Yo, so by the way He probably sitting at home right now He do some crazy shit Like I can't believe They ain't kicked me out yet

You know what I mean? But that's what I'm saying About that, bro Listen, listen That's what I'm saying What I'm saying is My whole thing is That hip hop we should have a union When you sag You know You get your dental

Your health all that Don't you feel like Do you feel like hip hop should we have a union I just think it's risky Because like if you really just think about it, you know what I'm saying? Like, who would be a part of it? Who would delegate to it? I'm saying us. It's like, it's like, it's like, it should be us.

Like, a certain percentage, maybe 1% of everything. It could be a governing body. Like, BMI does BMI. It's like bankroll. Like, ASCAP does ASCAP. I'm going to be real. I just think it's a little bit difficult because,

you know, music is the new streets. Right. And everybody might not get in line with that. Oh. Because everybody, you get so many different people

just doing their own thing and got their own form of leadership or whatever they think. They might not be with putting things together. Because with this shit, people only care. It's like the streets.

I don't care about me, my team, and the niggas I'm grinding with. You know what I'm saying? Like anything else. You think that's a problem? Because at the end of the day, we have to have something that continues to give to people who are dedicated to our culture. And maybe ain't prosper the way me and you are prospering. Why can't Melly Mel and Grandmaster Flash have something like a Medicare or Medicaid?

Let's say Big Gip goes to Big Gip. You know, that's my man. That's my man. Let's say Big Gip. Is it fair to them to not have that? That's all I'm saying, man. You know what I mean? But hit me out.

Hit me out. Let's say Big Gip. That's my nigga. Right. That's my nigga. And inshallah, this never happens. Right? But Big Gip, right? Let's say he justip That's my nigga Right That's my nigga And inshallah This never happens Right But Big Gip Right

Let's say he just gets sick And something happens And like I feel like this should be a fun For Big Gip Like You know what I'm saying Immediately

Right As soon as Like Alright boom His insurance is taken care of Right That Niggas that respect outcasts

Right And respect the people That came before us Right We gave a 1% or something. Right. And it just takes care of them already.

Right. You know what I'm saying? Somebody who dedicated their whole life to hip-hop. I don't feel like that burden should be on their family. But before you answer that, before you answer that,

SAG, like SAG for access. Like SAG. They do that. You buy into that. Whatever you buy, like you could be a B actor, you could be an A actor, but you're buying into that and you get what you get out of it.

What happens to the people in the hood and the mothers in the hood that are single mothers and trying to raise their kids and trying to do better? I would see better for them to have a situation like that than for us. That's true.

But the artist is going to... If these artists die, these women are single mothers. Yeah. If these artists die, like Sean Price. Like Sean Price out of New York. Like, all right, cool, boom.

You know, his wife, I don't understand. I don't know what's going on or whatever. But, you know, it should have been like something that we all just gained. Like, you know,

and not that GoFundMe, that embarrassing shit. Right, right, right. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, yo that we all just gained like yeah and not that go fund me that embarrasses you like you know i'm saying like yo we all we all we all getting it right right right at the end of the day right we take a small percentage and you say it's so whenever you we don't have to personally i got one i got one better for you okay i think that your approach is absolutely right you know just coming from my perspective. Right. But I don't think it should be on us. I think it should be on these labels that's made all these hundreds of millions. They ain't going to do it.

But that's the people you need to put a pressure on because they're making money hand over fist off our culture and they're not giving it back. That's what I think. You're absolutely right. He's absolutely right. Absolutely right. But I think they will follow us first because at some point we're going to claim our independence. Right, right, right, right. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, at some point you might, you know, live and die in your own career.

Right, right, right. No, no. And then you might just say, you know what? Fuck it. Because it's streaming. It's streaming right now. But that's why I got a lot of respect, you know what I'm saying, for a lot of the younger casters coming up and saying, you know what?

I don't think I'm going to keep it real. I took a deal because I didn't want to go to prison. Right. Point blank period. You know what I mean? It's the best thing I had smoking. It's like going to college. You feel what I'm saying?

It's like I got a scholarship. What you going to do? Right. I'm going to go play hard, and that's what I did. You feel what I'm saying? But that's why I got a. What you gonna do? I'm gonna go play hard. And that's what I did. You feel what I'm saying? But that's why I got a lot... Let's make some noise for him winning, god damn it. Took that risk and won. And that's why I got a lot of respect

for a lot of the younger cast that's coming up and figuring it out. Because they still getting their money. But they ain't in the streets. So you gotta respect that. And they feed people that's around them. But to your point, from where I'm standing, I think that the label has

made more money off the culture than any of us have. Absolutely. So I feel like it's like working at a fucking Fortune 500 company. When you sign up and you do it, you go in, you get your dental, you get your insurance, you get your health, you get all that shit.

But the streaming kind of fucked like fuck. Do you think it was fucked like fuck or you think it added on? I think it made entrepreneurs out of young niggas in the hood because it's like now. I love the stream. Right. I think it made, by the way, just how crazy music is, the monetized meaning like, you know, like, you know, it's so much, it's basically free. So the streaming,

it helps for you to know just where you at in the world. You know what I'm saying? So I'm not fucked up about it. You can gauge where you're at. Right. Like Kanye album, they said it streamed

a hundred million times, but it just went platinum. Oh, so it did go platinum? Yeah, it did go platinum. You know what I'm saying? That's big business. So now, when they say platinum, are they still saying hard copies?

No, no, no, no. Every 15,000 streams is one copy. I'm going to tell you like this. No, no, it went platinum, R-I-A-A. No, no, I'm telling you right now. Every certain amount of streams equals one sale. I think it's three.

Three streams? I think. I got to ask Ike. No, I think it's a couple. Where Ali at? I think it's a thousand. We're just in Atlantic. Ali, what Atlantic Records said?

Ike is here. Ike is here too? Yeah, come on. Come on, man. Somebody legit let us know. Give us some record label industry shit. Give us some industry niggas over here, man., come on. Come on, man. Somebody legit Give us some record label industry shit. Give us some industry

niggas over here, man. Yeah, yeah, come on, man. Let's get some We drunk motherfuckers. We don't know shit. Drunk facts over here. Right. Shampoo.

So how many? What's shampoo? Yo, come on, man. That's it. What? That's it. He said $1,500. One million streams

gets you $666. Okay, but how many streams are equivalent to an album sale? 1,500. 1,500 is equivalent to one sale. Sound scan. God damn, man. See, Big Apocalypse doing 3, 4, 5,

6, 7. Real talk. Yo, Gigi. This is crazy. I told you I love shampoo. Shampoo, you all right? Look, you're going on some fake gazelles. You need a side of Avion, nigga.

How about that? Shampoo, why? You need a side of Avion. What's up, man? Get that Avion in your life. This is Avion night. But I'm not fucked up about the streams, though, because you got to really think about it with the iPod. Because I got a nigga right now. I'm going to give him my iPod. He's going to load me up. You know what I'm not I'm not fucked up About the streams though Cause you gotta really Think about like With the iPod

Cause I got a nigga right now I go get my iPod He gonna load me up You know what I'm saying But I'm just sitting here like Damn you just getting All these niggas music for free You know what I mean

But you complaining about Chores being sold free But what I do think is like Man listen man You know If you in this shit To sell records That's on you

If you in this shit To change lives And motherfucker You know just Bring something to the culture Then numbers don't matter You know The love that you get

And the way people treat you That's what the fuck matters So to me It's like Okay look I've sold two million records Before You know what I'm saying

I've sold a hundred thousand Records You know Say that Let's make some noise You know what I'm saying You get your goddamn horn man Yo

Get your horn right I need somebody To work for me. I've, you know, I've gave away hundreds of thousands of mixtapes. I'm still the same nigga. You know what I'm saying? So, like, numbers never make me feel like I'm bigger or greater than who I am. My heart is what it is, and my mind is where it's at.

You know what I'm saying? I'm at peace. So, you know, I love what I do. So, whether I sold a thousand records or a million records, you know what I'm saying? My catalog is where it's at. You know what I'm saying? I'm at peace. So, you know, I love what I do. So whether I sold a thousand records or a million records, you know what I'm saying, my catalog is great. If I go out in these streets, I'm going to get the same love. You know what I'm saying? So it's like that's cool on the business sense.

I get that. But as far as putting your heart and your blood, sweat, and tears in your craft, I think that that's what really matters. So even if I don't do a million records again, that's cool. I already done that. You know what I'm saying? Let's talk about some shit I ain't done. So I want niggas to feel me.

I want them to feel me. So I'm going to put the same effort into what I done just if it's my first mixtape, my first album. You know what I'm saying? So whatever the results are, that's fine. I know I gave it my all. You know what I'm saying? I know when I walk outside. He's got the whole crew drinking Albion right now. I know what I'm saying? So whatever the results are, that's fine. I know I gave it my all. You know what I'm saying? I know when I walk outside. He's got the whole crew

drinking Avion right now. I know when I walk outside. Everybody's Avion, Rob. Except who on that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I walk outside, I'm going to get that same love and that's what matters to me.

Right. The love. I'm like, God damn, with my man named Mitch, Pay the Fool, I want the love. Oh, man, listen.

Even with Soul Survivor and Go-Getter, and I love it. That was a lot of him telling me, Right. don't be scared to go there. Right. Because I felt like
