A legendary DJ In the building And I'ma keep it a hundred If it wasn't for him I might not be Where I'm at He used to discover The records

I heard Choke No Joke The other day say The whole tunnel Was based on What records Clue was playing He's dominated the mixtape game he's from my home barrel we know each other 20 years at least let's let's say 10

because we're trying to stay young 25 but right now in the drink chest. Make some noise! What up, what up, what up, what up, what up? Take us in the beginning, in the beginning. Is it my phone? Oh, okay. So take us in the beginning how you first started. Was it, you started as a DJ or you started doing mixtapes? To be honest with you, I started rapping, man. I used to rap. Oh, shit. I never knew that. Yeah. I used to rap, man. I didn't really like the spotlight too much, man, at all.

So, I mean, I like kind of being a little bit kind of behind the scenes, but not too much. So, I said, you know what? I'm going to start. Cluedo got a cup. Let's get Cluedo a cup. Yeah, I need a cup, definitely. I need another cup. Yeah, can we get Cluedo a cup?

Go ahead, continue. So, you was rapping, huh? Yes, yes, yes. So, I was rapping, doing little shows here and there, you know, Rochdale, Village, all that, you know, runaway stuff. And I just decided, like, yo, man, I'm going to get behind the turntables and start DJing. So, yeah, that's how that came about, man.

So was the first time, like, Clue got recognized when it was a Biggie joint or something like that? I'm not going to say that's the time I got recognized, but that was like a defining moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he got on Flex Show and he was like, Clue, I'm looking for you. When I find you, it's on. But what record was this?

You got a cup for it? It was, I think it was the original version of. One More Chance? Nah. Nah, right? It wasn't One More Chance. I forget which record it was, man, because I had so many records back then, man. Right, right.

I think it might have been a snippet of Juicy and another record. I think, yeah, matter of fact, it was a snippet of Juicy and then the original, I think it was, maybe it was, it wasn't One More Chance. It was the original version of Juicy and another record he had, though. But you already had Madden mixtapes by that point. I think it was, maybe it was, what's one more chance? It was the original version of Juicy. Another record he had, though.

But you already had mad mixtapes by that point. Yeah, I had mad mixtapes moving, but it was kind of on a local level. You know what I mean? Now, how did you start getting these exclusive Nas freestyles? Like, at one point, if you wanted to hear Nas, you had to have a clue tape. Yo, man. You had to hear everything you had to have a clue tape. Yo, man. You had to hear everything you had to have a clue tape. I mean, basically, I got in the car, man. I didn't really know too many heads out there, no couple.

I just got in the car and went to Queensbridge and started asking some questions. Wow. Yeah. See, that, you know, when you say that, that's what the difference is. Pour a drink. Come on, God damn it. We got ice for you, too. Yeah, let me get some ice.

Yeah, yeah. I got these glasses. I don't want to touch nobody's ice. Let is. Pour a drink. Come on, God damn it. We got ice for you, too. Let me get some ice. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to touch nobody's ice. Let you get your own ice. So that's the difference between when you DJed and what DJs is now. Because DJs now, it seems like DJs just follow the trend now. They just play whatever. They go to the town and ask what's hot. But back then, you used to go In Queensbridge

In 40 Projects And was it about You getting it first Or was you about You just breaking this record It was kind of Trying to find That hot new thing

At the time You know what I'm saying That unfound talent And just going And grinding man And working with people in the studios and making them high joints. Definitely.

So then, now what you like better? Back then or now? Oh, definitely back then. Back then? Yeah. Wow, break that down. I mean, I feel like it's kind of, in a way, it's oversaturated.

You know what I mean? Like, I tell this story all the time You go on the internet Every day and you wake up And there's 14 new records Albums and shit Albums, records, freestyles Videos

I mean me as a DJ I gotta be real meticulous With what I pick and choose to fuck with But at the same time You gotta figure out the consumer gotta be confused because they don't know. No one has enough time on their hands to click on 14 records and check them out. And they all sound the same anyway. Yeah. Some of them sound the same and some of them is blah.

So it's like, you know, it's like roulette, man. You know what I mean? Kind of. What's a record that stand out to you right now? Like if it wasn't hot that you would want to take this record and blow it up? A record that's not hot yet? I don't want to say that's not hot. But something that you're into that even if it wasn't hot,

you would take this record and feel like you would personally want to break it. That's tough, man. There's a lot of records out there that That kind of fuck with I mean like When I heard the Young M.A. record I knew it was hot You know what I mean

I knew that was Going to be a smoker A Puerto Rican Got to open up His pineapple juice Come on Somebody stab the thing Come on

A Puerto Rican Come on Let's go But don't fast forward Too much I like to go back To the mixtape I'm all over the place

I'm a mixtape DJ Can I kick me On a mixtape I want to know How did that all Get started What's the inception When did you say I want to be a mixtape DJ. I'm a mixtape DJ. Can I kick him in on a mixtape? I just want to know, like, how did that all get started? Like, what's the inception? When did you say, I want to be a mixtape DJ?

Then you start rolling them out. I used to go to Jamaica Avenue. I used to get on. But even, let's rewind a little bit. Even before that, I used to, like, have my car when I was young. You know, I had a license. As soon as you get licensed back then, New York was like 15. I had a car back then.

I used to like having, you know, dope music to play. I had a car back then. I used to like having dope music to play. I had a little fake system. You know what I mean? The home speak in the back. Yeah, I had the same shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is DJ talk. I like it.

I like it. I mean, I think everybody might have had that. Matter of fact, here's a DJ Snapple fact. Right. I bought my system that I had in my, I had a Nissan Sentra. Right. Right? I bought my crazy system from Who Kid before he was DJing.

Before he was Who Kid. I bought the system that was in his car. I bought it from him because I liked it. Wow. Yeah, so I needed to shake the trestle on the Jamaica Avenue. Wow. Because I was banging back then. Yeah, so I bought Who Kid's, his system and threw it in my trunk.

You know what I mean? And I used to have mixtapes. I used to get Baby J and Irv. I used to go to their house. I used to pay DJs to make me a mixtape. Now, you saying, when you say Irv,

you're talking about DJ? Irv Gotti, yeah, yeah. Oh, Irv Gotti. Okay. Yeah, he used to have mixtapes and there was a cat named Baby J. Okay. I used to get mixtapes.

Was Cutmaster C around at that time? Not yet, not yet, not yet. So I used to go to the Ave and get True Life mixtapes from that. Was Cutmaster C around at that time? Not yet, not yet, not yet. So I used to go to the Ave and get True Life mixtapes. A couple of little, you know, more local DJs, Dogtime, Grandmaster Vic. They legendary in Queens, you know what I mean? Grandmaster Vic, that's what I mentioned to that guy. So I used to get all kinds of mixtapes.

And I used to say, man, like, yo, if someone made a mixtape that was hot from beginning to end with no fast forward, then they get murdered and make some real cash. Right. You know what I mean? So what was your first mixtape that was hot from beginning to end with no fast forward and they get murdered and make some real cash right you know what i mean so what was your first mixtape you felt like took it took all well i had to be sneaky man right when i started i didn't want to have tape number one so i started tape number 26 oh shit you know what i mean that's a cheat code to make people think i've been doing it for a while you You know what I mean? I did that, but I did it with number two. I started at take number 26, baby. That's crazy. Yeah.

Where'd the juice go? When did you meet? You met, remember, Mark Furman? No, no. Hip Hop Connection down in Miami. Was he instrumental at all in what you did? I mean, he was a big mixtape distributor. He got rated by the feds, and I know he... Yeah.

Dodging the feds back then Was easy for me But hard for people Because they was too They tried to be too Over the top with it You know what I mean I tried to stay You know

But why was that Breaking federal laws I don't understand Your copyright Yeah yeah Copyright infringement Yeah But how's the copyright infringement

If the artist You're a bootlegger As a mixtape DJ I had a lawyer When I told him what I did He's like you need to stop I said you don't understand hip hop You don't understand Yeah I had Gloria Estefan's lawyer I told him a mixtape DJ, I had a lawyer and when I told him what I did, he's like, you need to stop. I said, you don't understand hip hop. You don't understand hip hop.

Gloria Estefan's lawyer. I told him, I'm a mixtape DJ, you need to stop that shit right now. Because even the artists don't even really own the music really.

As you know. You know what I mean? Of course. That's true. So the corporate people, they was running down on people, man. It was getting,

and I heard my name tossed around, but you know what I mean? But they didn't run down like DJ Drama. Nah. They didn't go through that. I seen that and I on people, man. It was getting...

So he was heating up. But with that joint, I knew he was like, you know, getting ready to make some noise. So now, Choke No Joke said in an interview recently that they used to base the records on the tunnel based on what records Clue would play. And then they would, Big Cat would take the records or like whatever you had playing on your shit and then Big Cat would take the records

and then they would know that this is a certified tunnel banger. But the secret was they was getting it from you. Is that true? They was getting the records from me? Like, you're not, not, not. Hearing it from you,

it was hearing it from you. I mean, I guess. I mean, I was, rest in peace to Big Cat. I was cool with Big Cat. But they never used to really be in touch with me or nothing like that. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I was just doing my own thing. You know what I mean?

I was kind of under the radar. No one really knew what I looked like. You know, I was just moving around, doing my thing. But it was cool. Like, because, you know, like, I started bringing my tapes, like, after Queens, I was going to school in downtown Brooklyn,

so I said, let me go to, you know, Beach Street downtown, drop some tapes off. All right. So I dropped a couple tapes off. They called me the next morning,

go to Atrium, go spend $2,500 on Iceberg, it was nothing. You know what I mean? Pull up,

play it out, and just, you know what I mean Pull up Play it out And just you know what I mean But I mean Irv came to me You know Irv Yeah Irv was instrumental In a lot of these stories Yeah

Me and Irv did a lot of talking man Like when he was gonna First work for For Def Jam He was like yo man Let me ask you a question He's like what you think About me working for Def Jam

I'm like yeah why not You know what I mean He's like yeah But they ain't really Paying no money You know what I mean He said Leo want me to work about me working for Def Jam? I'm like, yeah, why not? You know what I mean? He's like, yeah, but they ain't really paying no money. You know what I mean? He said, Leo want me to work, but he not really paying no money.

I'm like, listen, it's more about the opportunity than it is about the money. Like, you know, once you get in and get in the door, you be able to make that money times 20.

Right. You know what I mean? So he's like, you know what? You're right. You're right. You're right. All right. So Irv Gotti took the job

at Def Jam for DJ Clue. Let's make some noise. No, not, not, not. Hold on, hold on. He said that's the wrong way to make some noise. He took the job for him. Exactly. I ain't getting no money out of you.

Exactly. But, yeah, so Irv came to me. He's like, yo, why don't we talk to Rockefeller about doing, you know what I mean, doing an album with you? Like, you know what I mean? I'm like. So it was Irv's idea initially. Yeah, yeah. I wasn't really concentrating. I was really concentrating on building the brand, You know what I mean? I'm like... So it was Irv's idea initially? Yeah, yeah. I wasn't really concentrating.

I was really concentrating on building the brand. You know what I mean? I mean, that would have been building the brand right there. Ew. Listen, brother. And you weren't

planning on doing that. I had... No, I know. I had it moving seriously. We know. We all know. But that's a different type of building the brand

at that level. I was distributing the chain stores across the East Coast. I know. I had it moving. You know what I mean? I mean, and the money they was offering me for advance, I was just like.

It's definitely not going to be the same money, for sure. I was like, all right. It's like you're pushing weight every week with your mixtapes. So what made you wind up doing it with Rockefeller? I mean, I thought it was a good opportunity. You know what I mean? I said, you know what? Maybe I could, even though I'm still selling a bunch of mixtapes, I could make it was a good opportunity I said maybe I could Even though I'm still selling a bunch of mixtapes

I could make it on a bigger scale Get audiences across seas Even though I was still already doing Parties overseas and all that stuff Independently I still felt like I could get some of the bigger artists Do something exclusive Back then selling platinum was a big thing

I thought I could sell platinum Which I did You know what I mean Thank God Let's make some noise For Kool Selling Platinum You were the first DJ First DJ that was platinum

Right I think Flex has plaques Before you But I think it was gold Right But um So now Alright cool

So you come out With this album It goes platinum You at Hot 97 How did you get To Hot 97 From then Um

Tracy Clardy Who was the Program director At the time You were at Hot 97. How did you get to Hot 97 from there? Tracy Clardy, who was the program director at the time. Remember Tracy Clardy. I had went to the studio a couple weeks prior before I got hired. I listened to the Biggie album because Puff wanted me to pick two joints to put on mixtape. So I listened to the whole album This is Ready to Die Yeah No, no, no, After Ready to Die

Oh, so this is Life After Death Yeah Okay So Puff was like, yo, pick two songs you want And you'll give them to me to put on mixtape I said, alright So I picked Hypnotize

And More Money More Problems. Yeah, so I picked them two songs. Good picks. I put them on the mixtape. Let's make some noise. Yeah, make some noise. Let's do this. So I put them on the mixtape

with my voice on it. And like two days later, Hot 97 had it in rotation with my voice on it. All right. Screaming, shout outs, everything. Wow. Setting it up for that. From your mixtape? voice on it. Screaming, shout outs, everything. From your mixtape?

Yeah. So Tracy called me. She's like, listen, man. She's like, listen. You might as well come work here. You know what I mean? Why don't you let me give you a show? And the show was the Monday Night Mixtape. Yeah, that was the Monday Night Mixtape. So yeah, that's how that happened, man. And then Fabulous gets discovered. Well, I had you over the show freestyling.

Let's make some noise for the freestyling guy. Yeah, so I had the inner warrior of the freestyling. My man just came, called me. He's like, yo, I've been dodging these cats for a while, but I got this kid that, yeah, he can rap. He cool. He got some potential. He's like, yo, I want you to hear him.

I was like, all right, cool. I was like, not only am I going to hear him, I'm going to bring him up and let him freestyle right now. So when he got there, that was the first time you ever met him? That was the first time I ever met him and heard him. Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy. So he walked in. I met him? That was the first time I ever met him and heard him. Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy. So he walked in. Uh-huh.

I met him. I said, you ready? Right. He said, yeah, I'm ready. I said, all right, because you about to freestyle after no ring. I said, sit down, have a chair, and grab a mic. You know what I mean? Wow.

Yeah. So that's how that happened. That's real training right there. And he showed up to the occasion. You know what I'm saying? Every time i see fab you know i always show him extra love because i just remember seeing the hunger that he had at that moment and it was like nothing that was gonna stop him and i was like when i when i peeped that

because i had i was in a battle not in a battle excuse me but shine and my son had had a battle, excuse me. But Shine and MySawn had a battle. We were in a cypher. Me, Shine, and MySawn. And MySawn looked at me like, nigga, you got your deal. Relax. Like, relax. And then it became a MySawn and Shine battle. So I remember that same look was like when we started rhyming with Fab. Fab looked at me like, Slime, you on already.

And I just let him go And from that day forward He's been a star Let's make some noise for Fab God damn it I'm very proud of that So you saw the vision right then and there With him You was like, you know what

I'm going to make him Because I heard he didn't even have a name Nah, he didn't I just heard him in that rap say It's the F-A-B-O-L-O-U LO us in the right in the new s circle in the US wrong with that right so so he so when Skane said I'm sitting this kid he never said his name I think he calls a sport back yes that's why sport, because that's what they said, fabulous sport. Yeah, that's why we call them spares. Right, right, right, right. That's crazy, man.

I had something to do with playing fabulous ball. I'm such a great person. I always get out the great stories about me. It's such a great... It's about me. That's right.

Sometimes you got to pat yourself on the back. So now, cool. You did the album. You did the mixtape. Now you got this artist yourself on the back. So now, cool. You did the album. You did the mixtape. Now you got this artist. Now I'm hearing this turmoil with Fab and Interscope. You go to Def Jam.

Well, even before that, man. It was at Elektra. I mean, trying to get them signed was a pain in the ass because everyone looks at you as... Even with you being the hottest DJ, they still get your heart. Everyone looks at you with that label with you being the hottest DJ, they still get your heart. Everyone looks at you with that label, and the label is DJ. So they don't look past being a businessman and marketing and being able to produce and all.

So Steve Stylehead just got the job at Interscope. I think he was the president of A&R, whatever he got the job with there. Yeah, with Jimmy Iovine. Yeah, he got the job with them. He called me like, yo, man. He was like, yo, why don't you come work for me, man? You know what I mean? Come work for me. As A&R? Yeah. Okay.

I had worked under him at RCA. We had Mom Deep. So he called me and he was like, yo, why don't you come work for me? And I was like, I said, I'll come work for you, but I said, it's got to be a serious situation. You know what I mean? So he gave me a production deal, and he's like, yo, I said, I got this artist, this kid Fabulous.

I'm going to sign him. You want to sign him? I'm like, yeah. Right. Are you sure? I'm like, yeah. Right. So he's like, all right, bet.

So they did the whole deal, production deal, vice president of A&R, that type of stuff. Interscope. Yeah, Interscope. And this is after y'all left for Elektra? Yeah. Okay. No, no, no, Elektra was afterwards. Oh, Elektra was afterwards.

Oh, I thought that was first place. No, Interscope was first, and then we left over there. So why do you think, there's a lot of New York artists that have a lot of problems with Interscope. Because is Interscope primarily based in Los Angeles? Yeah, West Coast. Yeah, so it's like. So you think that's the problem? I mean, sometimes that three hours off could be a difference.

You know what I'm saying? We had a movement with the East Coast office, though. You know what I mean? They had just signed. The power come from the West Coast. Jimmy Iovine live in the West Coast. They had just signed Eminem. The check writers. Who? Eminem. They had just signed Eminem. They had just signed Emin But that power come from the West Coast. Yeah. And Jimmy Iovine live on the West Coast. They had just signed Eminem. The check writers.

Who? Eminem. They had just signed Eminem. They had just signed Eminem. Oh, so they forgot about y'all. Let's keep it real, Klu. They even forgot about everybody. That's the thing.

Listen, listen. He said they just signed him, though. Yeah. Jimmy Iovine's nephew, DJ, was my intern. Get the fuck out of here. That was my intern, bro. Wow. Yeah, so they had Sway had an album.

Sway and Tech had a compilation. They was just working on Dr. Dre. You know what I mean? So I was in those meetings, too. You know what I mean? When I heard that album, I was like, I was hyped. The name album? The Dr. Dre album.

I knew when I heard that Eminem, my name, I knew that was going Gonna be one of them Joins soon You knew he was White off top Yeah yeah They told me We got this white kid

He can rap his ass off No I first heard the record I was like You never seen him before No I heard the record Prior to me seeing Eminem So I had no idea Like when I seen the video

I was like oh shit Like cause I thought I thought he black as fuck You know what I'm saying I thought he was just A funny dude Yeah yeah But um So now your experiences.

So now you was around Rockefeller when the Rockefeller was the hype. They were the Dame and Jay were. Right, right. Did you see that coming? That they would eventually. Break up. Break up. In a lot of ways.

I mean, you could, Not in the beginning though, right? No, not in the beginning. In the beginning, everything was smooth. But you could tell,

like, you know, there was little tensions here and there, little fires had to get put out. You know what I mean? I mean, and that goes

with any situation. When you have, you know, people in power and, you know, people start butting heads and this person's

in charge of this, this person's in charge of that. Back then, Jay was kind of more in artist mode, but he still would, like, you know, have his input and stuff like that. But Dane was more, like, even with signing me, Dane was more instrumental in signing, you know, me and Ye. And, you know, that was really, he was the one, and Jay was like, all right, cool, let's do it. Right. After the words. Right. really, he was the one, and Jay was like, alright, cool, let's do it. Afterwards.

But again, did you, now later on, when did you first start seeing that this shit might just stop? I think, I heard about it when, I think with the whole, I think Dane made Cam on the president or something like that.

I think that's what the whole... Yeah, that seemed like it from the outside. And I was kind of like, I was kind of like, I didn't understand that. I mean, me personally, I knew it was Dane, Dane, Big. For him to make an artist, I was like,

alright, cool, I understand the move. Cam was hot as fire. So I'm like, I understand the move, but in my mind, I'm thinking like alright, cool, I understand the move. Cam was hot as fire. So I'm like, I understand the move, but in my mind, I'm thinking like, is Jay gonna understand the move? Because Jay's an artist too, you know what I mean? So at the same time, it's like, you know. But why Mick Bleak, right? I mean,

well, listen, you know, Cam and the Dips, they was signing rock for the time. So, you know what I mean? It was cool. It's all family But at the same time I'm thinking in my head And I know how Jay thinks I'm thinking like

Yo it might be You know a little bit Of turmoil there With that situation Right Who knows But you know I was sitting back watching

You know Grabbed my popcorn And your opinion When you seen that You was like Something's wrong I didn't think Something was wrong

I just knew that Something would be wrong Later Internally With the camp Because I didn't think Something was wrong I just knew that Something would be wrong Later Internally With the camp Because I don't know how Some tension was built I felt like that

You know what I mean Because I You know usually Jay would like You know if something happened He would You know back then He would get on His two way

And you know Talk about it You know what I mean Yeah you used to have Mad two way beats On your two way You remember that Yeah yeah yeah You don't remember I mean? Yeah, you used to have mad two-way beats on your two-way. You remember that? You don't remember that?

and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here.

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.

But Clue, you've been down, you've seen Bad Boy era. You've seen the Rockefeller era.

You've seen the cash money era. Is any era right now that exists that's brand new to think that it can emulate these moments? Can we have other great moments in music again? Or this is just business now? It's tough now, man, because it's different now. Nowadays, you could put out a song and in five seconds it's everywhere in the world back then when i had an exclusive call said that yeah i had exclusive coming man like they'd be like yo man it's what's today friday all right man it's gonna be there thursday man

all right all right i'm paying the extra money to get it to you you know it takes even that tape it's gonna get to you it's gonna get to you in a couple of days. Now it's like you press the button, even by accident, the whole internet got it. So it's different. That and I just feel like there's no unity among. I think it's all a big competition there. And it's because everybody's looking in. And I talk about this all the time. With social media, I feel like social media has made the world so much smaller.

You know what I mean? and I talk about this all the time, with social media, I feel like social media has made the world so much smaller. Yes, it has. You know what I mean? I feel like with everything, if you even think about relationships, you see less people getting married, you see more divorces, because everyone feels like there's more options out there.

Yeah. You know what I mean? And the same thing with music. You know what I mean? One second they'll love you, two months later, they'll not even pay attention to you. Yeah, no, music is an unloyal business.

Yeah, definitely. It's a very unloyal business. It's a scumbag business, too. All right. So now, from a DJ's perspective, how crazy is it when a person sends you a record and you hate it? I mean, you know me a long time. You know how I play, right? I know, but you got to tell them.

You got to tell these people I keep it up I keep it up with you yo Right I need something else man Right I don't care how hot I don't care how hot

You think it is I don't care if you got Every hot rap in America on it If it ain't it I'm gonna tell you Out the gate It ain't it It ain't it

This ain't the one Wow And I've had I mean I've had to tell I don't say no names I had to tell people Nah come on I had to tell people Take another, come on. Come on.

I had to tell people. Take another drink. Come on, you got a drink. People in Queens, man, we got Envy on here lit, man.

A word? Yeah, we got Envy on here lit, man. Drink your drink, man. We got Graff in here. He from Queens,

goddammit. I had to tell a couple people, like, yo, man, I don't know, this is wrecking. Now, is that the mixtape,

or is that when you're on the radio? I mean, both. I mean, both. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I'm on the radio and, you know. I've been wrong, but I've been right about 97% of the time. Name a record you was wrong about. A record I slept on?

Yeah, slept on. I'm thinking of a good record I slept on? Yeah, slept on. Oh, I'm thinking of a good record I slept on. I didn't read, like... I mean, even recently, I didn't read, like, the Usher No Limit record. I thought it was cool.

No limit, man. I thought it was cool, but... No limit. That's your hard clue. You bugging. No limit, man. I hope your hard clue. You bugging. Listen, listen. I mean, I hope that's not the way it sounds. That's the way every record sounds to me, my brother.

You got to understand... I'm in the mumble stage. I fuck with the mumble shit. Yeah, I fuck with them niggas. Go ahead. Mumble rap, I fuck with y'all. Go ahead. I mean, I played it because people liked it,

but at the same time, I don't think seven years from now people are going to play that record. Or five years from now people are going to play that record. That's how I judge my records. I judge my records. Is it going to be a classic? Yeah, but I think you're right. But at the same time, I think people are making disposable music now.

I remember back then we used might be the problem, though. We used to make StarTex. That's a real problem. StarTex used to last forever. But right now, an iPhone, a Samsung will blow up on you, nigga. You know what I'm saying? So people are making disposable shit. Like, right now, I could just.

StarTex wouldn't break. StarTex, that shit fall. That shit is handy. If iPhone right now, see that shit on my case? Banga-da. It's handy If I phone right now To get shit out of my case Banga da It's over That's what people make in music

Yeah but you gotta understand What that does To you as an artist If you start putting out Diluted It's like If you putting out work You put out diluted work

The fiends is gonna catch on At that minute Yeah Even though they get high But what happens is Everybody has dilated work. Diluted. And dilated people.

Yeah. I can't say everybody. No, but let's say that. Let's say that. 85% people have dilated work. It's kind of like, why not have the same shit? I'm talking about for artists. I ain't trying to make dilated work.

If I'm an artist and I'm going to hop on a record that's for the moment, I'm going to hop on somebody else's record that they're doing and put a verse on it. I'm not going to put a record and put my name on it. And it's the difference between a career and a moment. You have to think about that? Yeah, I had to think about that. You're a fab said, right? No, don't tell me

What'd he say? What'd he say? Put me off He said, right now I get you the MVP Long time to get you the Hall of Fame You know what I mean? Right now What's going on?

Because in that record I say I'm in Miami Like Yeah That's like my first time in Miami And I said that on the record Like how did that come about? I know how it came about, so what I'm saying.

I mean, I know. Esta loca. I know he was in the studio, and that's when you was like damn near the Neptune's artist. Right. I never knew. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we was in Right Track. Right Track.

That was our spot. In the basement And you told me Yo play me some beats And so we started We started going through Some beats And you know what I mean

And the whole vibe Came around I said yo We need to make it Something with the Spanish That you put Like I'm Panamanian Let's do something

With the Spanish Let's just break a story Hold on He's Panamanian Who is Panamanian Let's make some noise That's why he looked At the pineapple shit Awkward too He's just breaking stories. Hold on. He's Panamanian. Who is Panamanian? Let's make some noise for him. That's why he looked at the pineapple shit awkward, too.

He's like, that's not really Latino right there. Like, you got to stab both. Come on, man. You know better. Since the Grey Goose days. But go ahead. Continue. Yeah, so, I mean, yeah, that's how our record came about, man. That's definitely a classic joint, though, man.

It's a classic joint. That's one of the two most requested. Because, you know, that's what we try and do. I don't really want to record new music, but if I record new music, don't be mad at me. But right now,

right now, I don't want to. I got an EP done, too. Justice League. We got a whole EP done. But up to the To the Justice League We got a whole EP done But right now I'm chilling You know what I'm saying But if I was to do

I would like to do A Body in the Trunk video That's crazy That's dope You know what I'm saying But I'm talking about Like new style But it be the same song

That means his platform also does videos. Yes, yes. We already know that. We breaking stories right now. We breaking stories right now. Go ahead. That's all. That's all.

But listen, I was just going to clear up the freestyles you did over the Dre beats. Remember those freestyles? Give a nigga a two-way, he think he's CEO. Remember that Woo Yo Clue man I ain't gonna front I had to tell this to Envy

Yo Y'all single handedly Was like Cause I got to see y'all work See the thing about it is Envy You know Envy's from my block right Right

He literally lives Six houses up On the other side of the street Right Literally Right But that was the crazy shit Was to me see y'all work. Like to see y'all go in any hood and go grab.

You got to remember, there's no email back then. No, not at all. Yeah, that's the difference. So to get it exclusive, whatever it is. You have to physically go and see people. I used to have like, you know, DOS effects, mace. These come to my mom's basement to record. You know what I mean?

Right, right, right. So it's like, you know, mom's Basement to record You know what I mean Right right right So it's like you know It is what it is You know what I mean Like anywhere Keith Murray Right I mean

I mean Jay Z Practiced for his first show In my basement Wow Like yo Can I come to your crib And use you Oh yeah come on

Imagine if you filmed All that shit Y'all are such a part Of like hip hop fiber Like this is crazy Fiber as hell I don't know technically what it means.

I thought that was an oatmeal. If anyone right now could name the chick who sung the hook on Ain't No Nigga. Ain't no nigga,

ain't no nigga. We need to give him a back. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on. This is fucking me up now because I'll be swearing I'm a hip-hop historian.

Because she came to my crib, too. It was her. So you know. It was her. No, I don't even know her name. Oh. We got Haz here. Haz of the Sound.

Google that shit. I bet you Google don't even know. I don't think Google might not even know that one, man. I ain't going to lie. Google might not know that one. Let's find out. That's a good one. You don't know her name either, you said?

Nah, I don't know. She went to the crib. Google ain't going to know that shit. Trust me, though.. You don't know her name either, you said? Nah. She went to the crib. Google ain't going to know that shit. Trust me, though. If Google don't work, Wikipedia. She is Wikipedia that. Whatever she's doing in life, she's somewhere saying, that was me. That's a fact.

She's definitely using that card. You have to. Come on. That was like the first breakout record for Jay-Z. What do you think was your biggest record that you had? See, it depends on the difference. Super Thug? It's Super Thug sometimes.

As far as bringing you to the world, Super Thug would be the biggest record. No, the first record, yeah. The first crossover record. Solo artist. First crossover record, that definitely is Super Thug. Because Khalees was on that, right? No, that was not Khalees. Who's on that?

Damn, you're trying to put me under the... You don't because I don't know neither. Didn't you say that she did that? But I was trying to keep it there. No, no. Didn't you say that she sang that part? Who? Khaleesi.

No, that's not Khaleesi. That is not Khaleesi. That's not Khaleesi. I'm listening to Game of Thrones. I'm watching Game of Thrones too much. It wasn't Tammy Lucas either, right? Was it Tammy Lucas? Damn, I don't know.

I'm with like you. Okay, we're going to find out. Yeah, yeah. Come on, Hazz. Probably the same girl from the Ain't No Nigger know. I'm with, like, you. Okay, we're going to find out. Yeah, yeah, come on, Has. Probably the same girl from the Ain't No Nigger record. I went to this thing and she was at Clues Crib. Yeah, you smoke a Walgreens?

Look at Graff. Graff over here, drinking brown. I'm trying to pace myself. I know what's going to go. No, don't do it. Don't pace yourself. Now, Clues,

when you come to Miami, do you play Miami records or you say, you know what, I'm going to stay here for me When you come to Miami, do you play Miami records? Or you say, you know what, I'm a day here for me because I'm from New York. I mean, I think as a DJ who traveled around the country, I think I'm well-rounded. So, you know what I mean? I think I play a little bit of everything. Right.

You know what I mean? Because I was probably the first DJ, I can say, who was playing South music in New York. You know what I mean? Like, when I first started playing Cash Money records, everyone was like,

yo, who that, man? Like, yo, why you playing that? You know what I mean? Why you playing Juvenile High? What is that? I love Juvenile High.

I was playing Bling Bling, and I was playing High, and then I told Jay about it. That's how Jay got on the ring. I told Jay about it, and he was kind of sleeping on it. Then we was on promo. We went to Atlanta.

And he heard it on the radio and seen it in the club. And he was like, yo, I need that schmental. I need to get on that. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, nigga, you late. Nigga, yeah. I feel like I was the nigga that put niggas on the high. Because I went to New Orleans for for a Spanish party Which was very awkward

And I came back to New York And I was like I did Angie Martinez I just kept saying that And nobody knew What the fuck I was talking about And I didn't even know his name So I couldn't be like

Yo that's the nigga Drew I was just like That's all I knew I always knew To me I always thought Wayne

Was gonna be You knew Wayne Was gonna be the suit Cause I had All of them on a record In 1999 On Melvin Flint Yeah

I had the whole Cash money Yeah I had the whole Cash money Cause I had We was doing Fab album

And I had And they asked me Which artist I wanted to do A record with I said I had the whole Cashman Cause I had We was doing Fab album And I had And they asked me Which artist I wanted To do a record with I said I still got I still got the record With him and Wayne

I heard Fab say That y'all used the record Yeah Cause we We never finished the record But I actually Yo matter of fact

I had actually cut A check for that I cut I remember I cut Cause Baby was like Yo listen If you want single rights And video rights Let me know now.

So we cut the whole deal. Single rights, album rights, and the video I gave him. I cut the check but we never did anything. And that record doesn't exist? It should be prepared right now. Use your drop.

Let's be playing on the broadcast. And we ready to go. We ready to exclusive. Let's be playing on the podcast. Just make sure nobody sue me. And we ready to go. We ready to go. Let's play on the podcast right now. It's still in my crib. It's on a cassette.

We can play cassettes. I still got it. But it's never heard. I got a bunch of records like that. I got Wu-Tang records. I got Nas records. That's crazy Records or freestyles? Nigga

Records Real full-fledged records Records That never been heard What was the reason You never put them out? Going you the only nigga with them You say

Yeah too many of them probably That's why I'm so I'm so respectful of mine You know what I mean? Oh okay I got you Or you were a Dr. Dre type Like perfectionist

Some of these wasn't right First of all Let's be clear When Dre was working on his album That he was supposed to put out The Detox You know

I heard about four records Yeah Fire He got a record with Lil Wayne And Meek Mill That's so fire He got a record with Mary Wayne and Meek Mill that's so fire.

He got a record with Mary that's so fire. But you probably ain't never gonna hear these records. But he got them. Don't think he ain't got them

because he got them. Nah, I believe he got them. He got them. I heard those about three to four years ago. That's crazy.

So they exist, and he got them. Dre put out that detox album. Now, where do y'all feel hip-hop is going now? Like, at this point? At this point. To the sewer. No, no, no. You don't got to be political here, Blue.

I mean, like I said, with the age of the internet, man, it's like, it's hard, man. It's a hard thing, man. I'm trying to actually feel it out and see, you know, where it's going. But within the last two years, there's been a lot of one-hit wonders. You know what happens, though? I think a lot of niggas just never learn. Like, I don't like all rap. I'm a fan of all-hit wonders. You know what happens, though? I think a lot of niggas just never learn. Like, I don't like all rap, that's all.

I'm a fan of all types of shit. But I think a lot of artists that are out now never really learn how to rap. Like, it's like a sport to me. So it's like, if you play basketball,

you watch the players before you. You know what A.I. was doing. You know what the fuck Jordan was doing before you went to the league. Same thing in boxing. You watch the tapes. You know how you learned

your moves From fucking Tyson And somebody But is what you're saying Coming from a lyricist Perspective From a lyricist Perspective And like a fan

Because So what you're saying Is our generation Dropped the ball then I don't know Where the fuck The ball got dropped I think

I think The wave can catch you And bring you to a point But can you consistently Stay on top of the wave? Right. That's what it is. You know what I mean? You might get a record, and it could be the highest record out of the time, whatever, whatever, but can you stay afloat?

Can you stay on the wave and ride the wave? But what is the wave now? Because now there's artists that find their audience online, and they've got hundreds of thousands of followers, and they do festivals or concerts or whatever shows, and nobody even heard of that artist. And they have no sense of the art. It's different. What's, quote-unquote, the wave is different now.

Because of the internet and the way that people get to their consumer, to their fan. And I always talk about this all the time to their consumer, to their fan. And I always talk about this all the time to this day, and I say, like, you can't blame the kids of this age for liking

the stuff that they like. You know what I mean? Because it's what they know. What we know is what we know, and what they know is what they know. They can only know what they've heard. They can't relive our moment. Obviously. They're living their moment.

You know what I mean? So they hear some shit, you know what I mean, that they like, and they're little kids, and they're like, wait until we dance and we're doing this. You can't get mad at that. But at the same time, you probably, being you, being from our area, you're not going that But at the same time You know You probably Being you Being from our area You're not gonna expect it the same

You know what I mean Like When we came up If you had an album And you wasn't rapping on there It stayed on the shelf Right Right

You know what I mean Nowadays If you hear a record And the shit's hot And you could download it And you ain't gotta pay for it And you could dance to it in the club You cool with it

Right But if you bought an album Back then And it had only two hot gotta pay for it And you could dance to it In the club You cool with it Right But if you bought an album Back then And it had only two hot songs on it You felt you got jerked You wanna take it back Right True

So it's different You know what I mean Right But you know what I'm saying On top of that Cause I'm a fan of Most of the A lot of music that's out now

Mama rap Whatever fuck niggas wanna call it I still ride through this shit Cause niggas got dope melodies Dope beats And the records in general Are dope Right

But no matter what genre of rap you do, in my opinion, they put a beat on, you should know how to fucking spit the verse.

If they take the beat off, you should know how to spit a verse. Period. You should know the basics of any craft you're doing. If you fucking

work for UPS, know how to grab that fucking package and drop it off without shouting about what's in that shit. You got to know the basics.

That's true. You know what I'm saying? In my opinion, some niggas, I think, kinda got over with it and got lucky, I would say, and not even learn the basics of the shit.

And it's like the only sport you can do that in. You know what I'm saying? So that's the only part I'll be like, I don't know. It's only a matter of time before you get exposed, though. So it's like, you know,

it's like anything else. True. But you can still win after being exposed in the sport because the rules don't matter no more. There's no like Respect for the art of it

You could Knock out a top boxer With a lucky punch Yeah You know what I mean It don't mean you're gonna be able To get in the ring consistently Exactly

Yeah that's a fact You know what I mean This got real hip hop right now I like this I mean I think sometimes We honestly underestimate Some of the young cats Because there's so many of them.

And they have their own audience. Like, for example, I'm going to give you an example. For a long time, nobody paid attention to Kendrick. Yeah. Because he had albums. I heard about him early, early. Yeah, mixtapes, early. And eventually what he did, because of the quality, it rose.

It rose. You know what I'm saying? And people was underestimating the youth following that lyrical movement. And they did. You know what I'm saying? He found his audience. And the audience, obviously, was bigger than life. Right, right.

You know what I'm saying? And there's a lot of artists like that. Like a Joey Badass, too. Yeah. In Miami, we got Denzel Curry. But, for example, it's like you might ask someone next to you, do you know who this is? They do not know Who that artist is

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.

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

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
