Two legends out of H-Town, these icons have carried the Texas rap torch for decades, ...and in this episode, they take the crew deep into their stories, struggles, and triumphs. Lil’ Flip reflects on his come-up during the Screwed Up Click era, the success of hits like “Game Over,” and how he kept his independence game strong in an industry that wanted to box him in. Z-Ro, known for his raw honesty and heartfelt bars, opens up about his reputation as “The Mo City Don,” his resilience, and how he’s remained authentic while the game around him kept changing. The conversation dives deep into the DNA of Houston music—DJ Screw’s influence, chopped and screwed culture, and how the city built a blueprint for self-made success.

You know what I'm saying?
It looks like, I'm going to ask for something, man.
At some point, you know what I mean?
You got to relax.
Yo, my homie.
I can't call him little flip because he's been a man for a long time,
so he's a big flip.
Zero of my first time meeting you
I listened to your album
That album is classic
Flo, it's a classic
I can't believe how good y'all sound together
Because y'all sounds so good separately
And the fact that you got together
And y'all sounds so good
So today we're gonna give y'all y'all y'all flowers
We're gonna make sure that y'all understand
How much hip hop enjoys, loves y'all
And we're gonna give y'all your motherfucking flowers off top
You just

And no
Fick,
my part
No,
let's get it
Let's do it
on top
Let's do it
Let's do it
Let's give me flowers
Hey
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
He had a lot
But he didn't
Yeah
You've been
A couple times
But we wasn't
Give it out
The
He didn't
Just a drink
Remix
That was a party
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
So
Um
Both of y'all
Both of y'all
man
You're from a
very rich
history
Right
a lot of people don't understand
how rich
Houston is in history
right
from the ghetto boys
so I just want to
take it from the beginning
and ask y'all how was it growing up
in that
environment in the beginning
there you go
Rother
the pressure was on
okay
yeah the pressure was on
Now, describe that.
When you say the pressure is on, are you saying because of your peers or from the outsiders, like the New Yorkers and the Miami people?
Well, like, really, really from everybody because we were trying to feel like shoes.
You're trying to walk in their shoes.
Okay.
So when that started, we was rapping already.
So it was kind of like we was better than everybody else.
Right.
But then we got the big homies.
And it's like, we're trying to get, I ain't going to say better than them.
But, you know, we got to at least be, well, they can know me in the room.
Right. Right.
So that's why I mean the pressure was on at least for me.
Right.
Yeah.
So let me ask, right.
Whenever a person say Houston, they say, they say Texas, they say, even Dallas sometimes, they always mention J. Prince.
Is that something that y'all have to go through?
or is that something that...
I mean, there's a bunch of labels out of Texas, though.
I mean, but one of the most powerful...
I mean, there's a lot of legacy labels, though.
What we talk about, rap a lot?
We talk about Swab House.
Switch a house, okay.
Screwed up records.
Screwed up records.
But the most notorious...
And going back as far as rap a lot,
one of the original indies in hip-hop, yeah.
It's like us from being in New York, Def Jam.
Like, Def Jam...
Miami, we got Luke Records.
Okay, yeah.
There you go. Perfect example.
Was that something that you have...
to deal with or
it's something that never really popped
up for y'all? It's just something that
when you got respect
and you got talent and you stand on
your word, you know, you get
treated as such. So
the things that Jay Prince
did and built
for Houston and the ghetto boys and
the different things that the foundations
they laid down, they gave us the
blueprint, the black print on
how to be independent. You said the black print?
Yeah, because we're black.
And so they showed us
You could be independent
They showed us
You could put your logo on your pendant
Right
So we learned a lot about marketing
And, you know, showing up to the shows deep
So, you know, that's fan
And we go always show love to them
And it never go change, man
You know, that was a beautiful
This thing for me being a New Yorker
Watching the rise of Houston, right?
was y'all was actually independent.
For sure.
Like, a lot of people were saying they were independent.
No, Texas was a lot.
And had distribution.
Houston was really out the trunk.
For sure.
Like, I always loved that about you.
It's the Bay Area and Texas.
Yeah, for sure.
And we, I'm still out the trunk.
Right.
Yeah, thumb drive, CDs, T-shirts, merch.
I still hustle like I ain't got nothing.
Like, that's the way you keep it.
I'm going to take a shot to that.
Hey, let's take one.
Let's take my with you.
Let's take my wife.
Come on.
You take the sake and some of lean?
Let's do it.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Salute.
Dilley, dilly.
So let's break down that because that's something I'm always a fan of.
I'm sorry.
I'm a fan of Houston culture.
I feel like, I feel like Houston doesn't have to promote outside of Houston.
I mean, a little bit.
You know,
A little bit, but it's just like, when you got your core fan base, like, see, a lot of people, like when they try to talk about my career span, a lot of people, they just started at 2001 when I got the deal.
The major deal.
Yeah, this is the way we bowed.
Okay.
And then for some, it was Atlantic Records?
Now, that was Columbia.
Live, a loud.
Steve Rifkin.
Shout out to Steve Rifkin.
So, Pac-Man, Sappel, right?
Right.
Okay, go ahead.
But prior to this is the way we buy.
I got diamonds in your face.
I got records.
LaTroille was the first person to put me on BET.
We had a record called Lean to the left.
Wow.
Probably going to plant them on mixtapes.
Yeah, no, we really did that.
We really did that.
And so I got classic records with Big T in the house tonight.
He got Mo City done.
We got different records that we go tour off of that are big before the mainstream.
So my catalog, I have a classic catalog before the major deal.
Yeah, that people sing word for word and zero the same way.
Like, so our career, man, it's some real historic shit.
Hell yeah.
Let's make some noise for you.
On the beginning we started this shit, they were like, you better get zero.
Like they were.
Yeah, you have been fan requests.
Yo, listen, your fans are very, very, very relentless.
They're great.
They're crazy.
They're very aggressive.
They're very aggressive.
We call them roguards.
Throw heads.
From the beginning, they thought we were dropping the ball by not having you on.
Right.
So let's talk about your fan base for a second.
How did you develop that?
Man, targeting the people who didn't have shit.
Okay.
Talking to people who didn't have shit.
I take a shot for that.
Yeah, yeah.
I take a shot for that with two.
People that they have you.
Yeah, for real, for real, because that can motivate you.
Because I was the people that didn't have shit.
So, uh, right in my room.
When I met Flip, they was kind of like trying to press us against each other.
Really?
Yeah, it was kind of like, I guess the two, I don't want to just pull everybody else up under us and say like, get up here.
But it kind of was like that a little bit.
So when I met him, they was like, I got 50,000 on Roe.
I got 50,000 on Flew trying to make us.
They was trying to make us freestyle against each other and all that shit.
So it was just, I don't know, man.
I didn't have nothing.
So I didn't want to get on those songs
talking about, oh, I'm in this foreign
or I'm in this dope-ass high ride.
I was sleeping outside.
So I was doing music for the niggas
who was sleeping outside.
For the niggas who wanted to come inside.
You know, for the niggas who was hungry,
like your back growling now,
you pass your stomach.
So those people heard that,
and it resonated.
And before I knew it,
shit, I wouldn't pull no more.
You know what I'm saying?
and shout out to the road.
He brought you inside.
He brought me inside all the way to the top floor.
So I watched a documentary the other day about Katrina.
And one thing that I realized that Katrina affected you guys was most of the people that was left.
The people, yeah, the refugees of New Orleans.
They came to the age.
They came to the age.
They came to the age.
So can y'all describe that time for me?
Because I, we had 9-11, right?
New York.
When New Yorkers left, New Orleans had Katrina,
but Katrina went and they visited Houston.
I didn't realize how much it might have affected the Houston economy.
Did that help the Houston economy or did they bring it down?
I feel like it helped.
I mean, there was more people at that.
the shows, and we got a lot of Louisiana fans.
Right.
Like, even September 11th, I was supposed to be in New York on September 11th,
but at the last minute, I changed my mind.
Wow.
I was supposed to go talk to some labels, and then that happened.
Right.
But, like, when Katrina happened, the day before Katrina hit,
I flew to New Orleans to do a meeting, greeting, I think I was in a, yeah,
the superta...
Wait, so you were in New Orleans?
The day before, what the fuck out of it?
It was a company, a phone company called Altill.
Oh, wow.
They had gave me, like, $50,000 to do, like, two songs.
And I went and did a meeting greet.
And they were saying it wasn't going to be that bad.
The storm was saying that before.
So as I'm flying in, I didn't really know what was going on.
I'm like, why everybody at the gas stations, right?
And they're like, why has the storm coming?
Right.
I'm like, shit.
So we flying over.
We do the meeting greet at the Superdome.
At that time, I was doing business with Squared Up.
Shout out the, you know, squad up, gutter, gutter, everybody.
And gutter, gutter, gutter, still my fam.
So they came.
They was like, yeah, man, we go ride this shit out, you know?
And then we did the meet and greeting.
I got on the jet.
We flew in on the jet, flew back to Houston.
The next day it hit.
And we couldn't get in touch with nobody.
We couldn't get in touch with gutter nobody.
And they just ended up in Houston.
They're like, man, we're in age time.
And, you know, so a lot of the little flipping squad up music.
Right.
Was made during the Katrina time.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Because I didn't even realize, I always knew, like, New Orleans and Houston.
Because a lot of my neighbors, when I moved to Miami, a lot of my neighbors would drive to New Orleans and would drive to Houston.
I'm like, who the fuck drives to Houston from Miami?
And I didn't realize it's only like 13 hours away, right?
But a lot of them resided during this time there.
And I didn't realize how close it was and how much that you guys got affected.
So, what's, like, when you, when you hear those different wards, what's the difference from the wards when you, when you describe, it's like Fifth Ward, because that's where, uh, uh, uh, ghetto boys is from, right? They're from Fifth Ward?
Well, some of them. Okay. And New Orleans got awards, too. It's like, yeah. So, so what's the difference from the wards in Houston and the wards in, uh, New Orleans, if, if you can?
I mean, people got their own slang in their different ways.
They hustle, but it's similar.
You know, it's similar.
Just people trying to get their money, you know, hustling, you know.
We got third war, second world, your fifth war, you know.
Fourth, yeah.
But it's different hoods, same shit, man.
People trying to get their money.
Right.
And people hustling different things.
Right.
And only the strong survives.
I'm taking a shot for that.
Hey.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Solo.
A little flip.
Flip.
Yeah.
Big flip.
Yeah.
I feel like I knew you for quite some time.
And I feel like the most success you got, you never let this shit get to your head.
That's something that I admire about you, right?
Appreciate it.
Like you always been a solid dude.
You know why?
I don't know why.
The reason is, when you used to attention, you don't have to go out your way to get it.
Right.
So I grew up doing talent shows.
I grew up.
My grandmother had a beauty shop.
So I grew up being around nothing but women, right?
Like, I had men, you know, father figures and grand in my life, but I'm saying, so they liked me for me.
So I always was just being me.
I ain't never have to be nothing different to get attention.
So when you being yourself, shit, it ain't hard.
And I don't love money.
You know what I mean?
I feel God.
Money love you?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But it's attracted to me.
You know, I don't know if they love me, but no fingerprints.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It stays coming, you know, like literally.
So, you know, I just stayed me, bro.
I ain't going to never let the money to fame what I got dictate, you know,
making me feel like I'm better than you
just because I got this.
Right.
You know, shit.
One bad deal, it can all be gone.
It can all be gone.
Yeah, so I just stay humble with this shit.
But I know who I am.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, Zero, let me ask you,
this is a tough motherfucking game.
A lot of us fold.
A lot of us fold during this game.
And what made you stay so solid?
The rent.
The rent?
I wasn't ready
I was not ready
That would inspire you to say something
I mean
I think I'm
I think I'm pretty well versed at this shit
But even more than that
I got
I got a lifestyle that I like to live
And I'm not going back to the one before this one
So I know
That's my main
You know what I'm saying
And then I like
I like shit in all niggas.
Okay.
I like shit on niggas.
I'm gonna just be honest.

My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture.
It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like, very traditional.
It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a content of years.
you carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.
That's Sierra Teller Ornellis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner
in television history.
On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story, along with other Native stories,
such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation basketball.
Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world,
influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream.

No, I love the Houston loyalty.
I love it.
Yeah, man.
Only thinking this is like that's a.
Close to that is like Brooklyn.
If I answer any.
Brooklyn,
Brooklyn go Brooklyn.
No, did Queens do that the other day?
No, Queens, we always do that.
But I feel like Brooklyn got us a little bit more.
Leave the flip.
Yeah, we need you to go home.
We got two of the dude.
Damn.
All right.
Ghetto boys are U.G.K.
Damn, brother.
It doesn't got to be a music shit.
It could be someone that's closer you're closer with.
I mean.
Like, if we answer any of this shit, we can't go home.
Yeah.
You got to stay in my answer.
But look, I want to ask both of y'all, right?
Okay, we've got a drink.
Okay, I'm bringing it.
All right, here we go.
Hey, I'm going back to it.
Because Pepsi.
Ooh, shit.
I always tell the story.
I don't know.
I don't know if people know how real Pepsi was.
But Pepsi was probably like, I don't want to say the realest rapper I met,
but he was like one of the realest people.
All right, man
How was your relationship with Pimp?
Pimp just was
Always giving me game
His mama, rest and peace to Mama West
When she was on her deathbed
She wanted to talk to me before she passed away
Wow
I learned a lot about booking shows
And negotiating
But then standing on top of your business
You know, from the way
Mama West used to book their shows
So I went on tour with them
I learned a lot, like, it's an old video of us on BET
with Bumby talking and me and C-note in the background
and Bambi shouted me out and stuff like this.
So, like, UGK and just the whole movement, Port Arthur,
what we learned from people.
That's not technically Houston.
No, it's just like an hour away.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, I learned a lot from them, man,
and they wasn't afraid to let you know they from Texas.
And Pem Cigo let you know, we're from Texas,
and we come and die.
Yeah, like so, yeah, we love it.
It was a famous interview where Pimp, like, I'm not for the South, obviously.
But when he said, man, Atlanta not even from the South, he made me check, he made me look at the map.
At Geographic.
You know what I'm trying to say?
I was like, really?
Atlanta's not the South.
He's like, day time is the same.
The East Coast.
It fucked me up.
Y'all you remember that?
I remember this a bit good.
But he used the time songs?
That wouldn't really make sense, though, because Florida's in the same time zone.
Oh, he's shitting on y'all, too.
He was like, technically, none of y'all from the South.
Oh, he did say that.
He did say that.
That shit was, like, because, like, just dealing with intelligence.
was he right
he was technically right
he said it is the east coast
he called you all the east coast
I mean we're on the east coast
man
if you look at the NBA
if you look at the NBA
Atlanta is
East Coast
in the NBA
East and West
we're on the East Coast
man Miami is on the east
so when
Pimsy said that I said this nigger is
mad smart
it doesn't take that for smarts
no he on the East Coast
man
yo
no that shit is still fucking
me
right
just think about
what he said
how smart was that
he said that shit
15 years ago
he said that y'all
wasn't the South
we are the South
but on the East Coast
Southeast
Southeast
Oh, don't.
But, okay, let me ask you this question.
I've thought about this a lot.
Texas is hell in the middle.
I always felt like Texas lean more to the West Coast.
Nope.
Texas is Midwest?
What do you?
Is Midwest or?
So when I hear Texas people, I mean, I heard a long time ago.
No, no, no, not.
No, I'm just being serious.
All the way, claim in the South.
I'm like, yeah, it's kind of like, I feel like y'all could claim the West, too, if you wanted to.
We're right in the South.
We write in the South.
middle. We were right in the middle
of the map.
They're just trying to go
wherever you and y'all like strategic like
Swiss. We knew you like
Swiss.
Yes. Swest?
I'm going to give you your publishing.
You got to do you guys. You're going to
give you your publishing but I'm taking that.
Swest?
Oh, I'm going to give you your publishing though.
I'm going to give you. I'm going to
your checks will come every month.
Salute.
I haven't finished the Pimsy. What he said.
No, that shit was the craziest shit because I
I didn't realize
the geographics
of
You need to stop there
I'm fucking up with you
But I didn't
If you think about what
If you think about
What he said that shit
Almost 20 years ago
Right
Yeah
It was however many years ago
It's always the East Coast
But I didn't even realize that
And he was like
Atlanta
You're you motherfuck
Technically ain't even the South
He said you
You niggas is
more New York.
And I said,
did I went to
Nick's game
in Atlanta
and everybody was there
was from New York.
And I said,
that's what he was really
probably referring to more.
I said,
Pett's right.
I'm sorry, Atlanta.
I can't go back to Atlanta.
You're talking to my,
I can't go back to Texas.
Shit.
Shout out to it.
I can't go back to.
What's Linux more?
I'm going to be fooled in Linux more.
Go ahead.
All right, go ahead.
What we got?
Rob PimC, man
Yeah
Yeah, man
Yo, that's my nigga
Real
That was a real one
Nigger had the furry code on
In Miami
You say TB ain't got no Timp2
Yeah
I'm winning the part
The furred code, nigga
At the big Pimpoo?
Yeah
Yeah
Crazy man
You want my TMPC story?
Go ahead
Yeah
You got a PMC story?
Oh yeah
You know
Um
I, we called them
and he said
Uh
This is
This is
we wanted a relationship with UGK
and they want a relationship with up.
This is before we went to the hood.
You came to my hood.
With Bambi.
With Bambi.
You came to my hood with Bambi.
This is before that.
That was legendary, by the way.
It's legendary.
I'll get to that story too.
But Pimp said,
I want this amount of money.
This is for Moose and May's album.
Right.
He's like, I want this amount of money and I want this amount of money.
And I said, all right.
UGK is on fire
so I came to the studio
and I gave him the check
he gave him the check
hello
he gave him the check
I mean that matters
and then he said to me
he said to me you really
you really did that
and I was like yeah
he gave me back the check
and he was like I just wanted to see
if you was a real nigga
wow
and I took
And I took the check back, and I was like,
but this is not my money.
So here, take the check back.
That's what communion that did to me.
Oh, really?
We traded.
He did a song on my...
Who did this?
Commitian.
Okay.
Yeah.
He did a hook on my record.
You see it on Underground Legend, and he did a verse with me.
We split the last verse.
And he showed up to my house, like, hey, I got a record with Scott Storitz.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, he was like, I got a beat from him.
I want to put you on it.
I'm like, I got you.
What?
He showed up with a $15,000 check.
That was a check for $15,000.
Yeah, I'm like, bro, we trade and I'm cool.
Right.
Like, they go spend the money on some shit anyway.
So he, like, made me take the check.
I was like, all right, cool.
That's exactly what I did.
Yeah.
So Pimp gave me back the check and was like, I just wanted to see if he was a real nigger.
Right.
And I was like, I already cleared this.
So I am a real nigger.
Take this one of the fucking check.
And, um, me, Bun, Bump,
we were great
ever since then. That's the
reason why it's crazy that me and you have this
fucking great shoulder together
because you came
with me to my hood
and it was a wild day.
I'm coming from Miami, Bunch from Texas
and we both look at it.
It was a wild day.
It was a crazy day.
And I had to be,
I wasn't a rapper that day.
I had to let them niggas know. And I was
running around and it was. I was, I was,
you I would in that hood
You left us
Me and Bo were hanging out
You left us
Right up
No
You know when you get
You get back in there
You're like
It was crazy hood and bump feet
That's it
And your guys were there
You know the crew
Yeah
Yeah yeah no
No no
That was a wild day
And bump
And bump
I think you appreciated that
And I think you appreciate it
Absolutely yeah
Yes
Let's go
Let's go
Next question
I think that's dope though
That you did it
you got experiences with
the people that we got to see
like all the time.
You know what I mean?
Like that's dope that you got
your own memory with people.
I knew PIPP was special
but I knew that encounter
that we had.
I knew that was special
but I didn't know how special it was
until after he passed.
After he passed I was like,
holy shit.
But, look ahead.
Boy, you got any story
that maybe you haven't told him with Pimsy?
Or you, yeah.
Zero YouTube.
You go first, brother.
I got a lot of stories with Pimp.
Trying to see.
I don't want to say when I said already.
Okay.
Okay, yeah.
So it's 2005.
I don't know what PimC look like.
I don't know what Bunn look like.
Wow.
Because I've been buying burn CDs.
Oh.
So I ain't know what nobody looks like in rap.
I just, I knew y'all.
You know what they sound like.
Right.
Yeah.
So, I got it, I would even know, I guess before Jay Prince signed me, I kind of was, I don't want to say I was out in the street tripping or nothing like that, but I probably was out in the street tripping.
Okay.
So I was, I was kind of like, I was fucking shit up.
So Red Boy was like, hey, I got a letter from you from Pimp C.
You know, Pimp was in, he hadn't came home yet.
so I'm like
I don't even know that
nigga like why I got a letter from him
and
he gave me the letter and he was like
read it in his voice
this thing
I didn't know
you call it before you read it man
like you got
like you ever been
cussed out on a piece of paper
no
and you got to read that shit
in the man's voice
it wasn't no
dear, it was just,
look out, nigga.
You need to sit the fuck down
and I tell.
And it wasn't D-O-W-N, it was D-I-N-E.
You need to sit to fuck die
Southside, you know what I'm saying?
Man, the man, Rick,
and I'm like,
it ain't a real argument, so I can't tell
that nigga like, nigga, you got me fucked up
because he wrote this shit like a week ago.
I'm reading it right now,
he ain't there, so I'm like,
So I knick cussed me out before he missed me
Before he met me
And then I had to act like I didn't have an attitude
When I met that nigga
To get through video shoot
He walked up to the car
And I really wanted to be like
Say man, you got me fucked up
But that shit was like 18 weeks ago
So it ain't going to mean that now
So
That's all I got a lot
You ever spoke about the letter or not
No because I mean
I mean Nick still was pimsy
Right, right.
You said have respect for him, right.
And he walked up and that nigger was like, say, man, I like this blue, but I'm riding red, Jack.
That's how I'm admitting.
Wow.
Yeah, and I mean, I was just...
Wait, because you had on blue?
Nah, he was talking about, like, the gang shit.
Oh, oh.
I mean, I was in a candy blue car at the time.
Okay.
So he was like, yeah, man, I like the blue, man, but I'm, but you know, you know, you know, Pimp going to let you know he's riding red at all times.
Yeah.
And he's coming down.
Coming down.
Yeah.
Got there, rest of the piece.
Yeah.
Legit, man.
Like, he always gave me game.
I always gave me free verses.
I always, like, I remember one time we had a show.
I don't know what part of Louisiana we was in, but, man, we did the show.
I don't know how everybody found out where we were staying.
But, bro, when I tell you, there's so many, like, baddies and kneecaps just running around.
I'm sorry.
You said kneecap?
Yeah, we call a kneecap.
So when women, tities are super big, we call them kneecaps.
So, kneecap tithes, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, kneecaps.
Yeah.
So message, but yeah.
But we, we, we, it was a whole whole, the whole town knew where we were staying.
And I just remember Bunn sitting in the hall like, man, for a little man, I'm tired of this shit.
I was looking at him like, nigga, I ain't going to never get tired of it.
He's like, he's going to never get tired of it.
He's like, he's tired of the business.
It was just the lifestyle.
Just the lifestyle.
People, you know, just too many people every way of finding out where we're staying.
Right.
Yeah, but I was like 18 at the time.
I was like, yeah, it's going dying, nigga, you know.
But yeah, so, yeah, great times with them, man.
Let's take a shot.
Let's do it.
What's this for?
This is sake.
This is sake.
This is sake for.
For Pemcy.

You are breaking drink champ's history.

different more and a bottle yes just like it's a gun every time you might need a ball
with a day you got to just be prepared but yeah we we can't pick between them too man like
i'm proud of mexican o t i love houston laurie t yeah we proud of mexican o t wrote the got a record

You know, I'm on two records on this album.

We on some, you know, throw each other alley who's behind the scenes.
Like, you might not see us with each other every day.
Right.
But when we see each other, we go show love.
I love Houston loyalty.
We go turn up.
But behind the scenes, hey, this guy want to book you, Roe.
Hey, here goes some money.
Hey, come to eight.
time bingo, we got you, Kiki. Come on,
youngster. You're like, we're helping each other
make money. DJ Screw put us
around each other for a reason.
And the smart ones... Recipe G's school.
Yeah, man.
Let's take a shot to that. Let's take a shot to that.
For real. Let me ask you something that might
like throw off the situation
a little bit. It's all good. We bill for it.
In New York, we have
Puerto Ricans, right? Okay.
Puerto Ricans
For the most part
I want to say they
They think they black
Or they
Identify with being black
Okay
Mexicans is your version of Puerto Ricans
Right
He's the young Mexican
rapper say nigger a lot
young Puerto Rican rappers
when they said nigger back then
I didn't take offense to it
but now that I'm older
I'm like
I kind of like
notice it
maybe I don't take offense to it
but I notice it
is that a problem
with you guys
like when you see a young
18 year old saying
nigger nika
nigga nika nika
nika nika and he's Mexican
and technically he's not a nigger, right?
Maybe he has the nigger influence, sorry.
But if that man is cornered in the elevator
with your great-grandmother,
your great-grandmother is not going to identify
with him using that word.
Is that a problem for you guys or no?
That's a deep question.
I killed that.
I feel like my answer short.
Like, for me, it don't offend me.
I don't let words offend me.
Okay.
I mean, if it was to offend me, it would have to be said, you know, nigger.
With the ER.
With the ER.
But at the same time, I still don't let words offend me.
Right.
Me, personally.
You feel what I'm saying?
Yeah.
It don't bother me, you know what I'm saying?
But the ER might bother me.
Okay.
I'm going to have to agree.
I'm not going to let it bother me, per se.
I kind of know, like, if it's a young person,
they're going to get their turn to see that that's not appropriate.
It's not appropriate.
It's not appropriate.
But the thing is, like how you say,
they might be in a nigger environment.
Yeah.
And I can't get mad at them because somebody else has been calling them
a whole lot.
So you ain't going to call
the motherfucker a nigger unless you been getting
called that shit. And it was probably like,
damn, I'm a nigger.
And it's probably the norm for that
person until they get to
somewhere where the norm is
getting fucked up for
saying that shit. Because what
I'm noticing is
people who are not
black.
They've adopted it. Yeah, they adopted it
way more than black people. Yeah.
And I at first was like, I was cool with it, but I'm not no more.
Right.
Like, I'm not, like, I actually point that out.
Like, I seen a dude.
Don't cry.
Oh, I ain't going to cry.
I'm going to take a shot.
Take a shot.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I'm going to take a shot.
Yeah, but.
Are you having intervention with Boris, man?
Absolutely.
Boris.
Everyone, everyone, I'm having an intervention.
invention, like what, what everybody who is affiliated to black people, but you're not
black people, including Puerto Ricans, including Mexicans, including Mexicans, including,
like, that's, my grandmother's not going to understand that you're a cool Mexican.
my grandmother's not going to understand
that you're a cool fucking Puerto Rican
my grandmother's not going to understand
that if we're in the elevator
and you call
EFN, what's up, my nigga?
Yeah.
It's not, it's not,
to me that's not cool.
Now I'm 48 years old.
I just had a birthday.
Y'all can bring some noise for me.
You don't know how many times
you was here about me.
a nigga, though.
I don't want to be,
I don't want to be everybody
nigga.
I know you don't.
And his was fucked up about this.
I got to tell you
when you was my nigga though.
Okay.
The Wednesday bitch.
The Tuesday bitch.
I was talking to Wednesday
business?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, man,
that's,
that's my nigger, man.
That's, my nigger, man.
You're really.
You stay.
You stayed.
You said, you know.
I was going to get into my brother,
you know.
But, no, no,
but it's real.
Um,
I, uh,
America's divided right now.
It's divided, but the dope part of this is a thing.
Even though, like, our great-grandm, you know, grandmothers and they live a certain way, times have changed.
So it's on us to reprogram ourselves and not be brainwashed about what they try to tell us.
Oh, you can't, you know, be successful if you don't go to college or you can't do this.
You can't start out being a CEO.
I did it.
Right.
Like, damn, that's real.
For the beginning of my career, I've been a CEO.
That's weird.
Most artists, like, they start off rapping.
I'm under this guy.
I'm under this guy.
I started off as a CEO.
That's real.
So I always had a boss mentality.
So it's on us to reprogram ourselves and not have to go by the old traditions
because a lot of the old traditions was based on what was going on back then.
Right.
Now, like, music is uniting people.
Different races is coming together.
Different people collaborating, different genres.
Like, this shit is a blessing.
You know what I'm saying?
And that info's got to get passed down, too.
Exactly.
It has to be passed down.
So we just got to go.
The OG's got to be OGs and keep passing it down.
Exactly.
And that's what we're here for.
We ain't here telling the people to go do some dumb shit or go jeopardize your life
or some dumb shit.
Like, if you listen to Kings of the South, too, like, we really on some grown men shit.
Like, pay your bills.
Watch out for fake homies.
Like, look out for the people that's locked up that looked out for you.
Like, we really on that motherfucker talking.
It's about the message, you know what I mean?
A lot of people, they're just rapping and they ain't really telling you nothing.
We got some messages in there.
Like, we want you to make money.
We want you to watch out for the snakes.
We want you to take care of your kids.
We want you to spend time with your kids.
We want you to value your life.
So we come on some righteous shit.
But, you know, but if you play, then, you know, we got to show you the other side.
But we're trying to stay in Christianmingle.com.
We're trying to stay in that mode.
No, you gave me the alley-U.
Because.
Well, you're on Christianmingle.com?
Come on.
You're married, man.
No, I'm on Christians.
Right?
But Christian, all right, this is, this is the king of the South shit.
Woo!
We ain't finished quick time.
You know, though.
Let's go.
Yeah, finish.
Hold that down, bro, after quick time.
Here we go.
Straight up.
Yeah.
We started trying to get pregnant about four years ago now.
We're getting a little bit older, and it just kind of felt like the window could be closing.

Okay.
But I, you know, free my brother Castor, I'll be wearing this.
This represent three faces.
Oh, my brother Castor, he locked up.
You know what I mean?
So I'd be representing for him because he did some real shit for me
and people that do real shit for me,
even if they locked up or even if they did,
I do what I got to do to keep their name alive.
That's why you
Well, no, Jamie had some facts

Yes.
All right.
Fat, pat or big pokey?
Ooh, shit.
Take a shot?
Damn.
Of course.
There we go.
Houston is so loyal.

All right.
Yeah.
Man, for real.
Legends.
man, I hate both of them not here, man.
I hate Pat didn't get to see the release of his album.
That's terrible.
Like, man, our culture, man, we got some real trends that it's like the dope part about it, bro.
Like, just like people on the East Coast, they hold, you know, Jay-Z and Oz to this high, you know.
The Northeast Coast, let's just be correct in the Northeast.
Straight up.
But like, straight up.
Take that shit up with a picture.
Like, that's how we feel about DJ True and Fat Pad and Poky and Hawk and all the lefties.
Like, we rap with them.
We don't look at ourselves like, oh, yeah, we're less than.
Like, we really did some legendary shit, man.
Oh, hell yeah.
And to be a part of the screwed up clicking for DJ Screw to really allow us to come to his house and freestyle and showcase our talent and not be a greedy person and sign us all.
You know, DJ's group, he could have been like, I'm signing all of y'all.
And he could have been a billionaire.
But you think he knew what he had, like, at the time?
I think he knew what he had.
Because I feel like it was so early, he might not have known how big it would have been to be.
He didn't want it.
He was making something.
He didn't want that.
No.
I know.
I'm with you, Flip.
I think that he knew that and I think he was that genuine.
He didn't want their responsibility.
Yeah.
Right, yeah.
I can respect that.
He told us how to be famous and still live a normal life.
Most people are slaves to their fame.
They can't go to the grocery store without people everywhere.
Like, oh, like, like, we really get to be famous.
bro and still go to the grocery store
you know what I mean like
so we're not slaves to our fame so
for a person like DJ Screw
to let us come in yeah I think I believe
that and he won a Justo Mix tape
Award like he had a ring yeah you know

3-2 brought some of that. He was hanging around
Snoop and
He's just a fly guy, you know what I mean?

Right, right.
But AI got him.

So D.O.C. could definitely do that right now.
Oh, he's fucking with the AIS?

With Jada kiss, yeah, and Freway's executive producing or something, right?
And he's using AI settings.
He's using AI to fix the voice.
So he's doing the lyrics.
Like, he's spitting it.
Yeah, and then the AI's picked him.
For real.
Nah, it sounds like him, 100%.
Hego is one of the illest lyricists ever.

It may look different, but native culture is very alive.
My name is Nicole Garcia.
Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture.
It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly, like, very
traditional.
It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for a hundred
of years.
You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.
That's Sierra Taylor Ornelis, who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner
in television history.
On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story, along with other native stories,
such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con

Little flip is the illest drink everything.

No to nothing.

No, I'm picking you up.
No, that's enough.
Don't give him more than that.

I just want to drink it no more after that.
Are you taking in safe pocket?
Oh, shit.

Hold on, hold on.

Yeah, I'm taking both.
So you got to take him shot.
Yeah.
I'm trying to move to Houston, so.
Yeah, we didn't.
We didn't take any one, man.
I think this shit going to be, yeah, just no.
Yeah, our brothers, we, hey.
I love the fact.
I love Houston.
We ain't going against.
Hey, we ain't going against it, man.
We're here for unity, bro.
We ain't here for division.
Absolutely.
Like, really?
All right.
Rap a lot of Swave House.
Damn.
We got to go back home, man.
I mean, we're going to pick rap a lot.
But give us stories or something, man.
We fuck with both.
But we're going to go with, I mean, we got to pick it.
It's rap a lot.
I mean, like, they showed us to Black Trent to
how you got to do this.
Look, look, let me tell you a story.
I went to Funger in Middle School.
I went to middle school with a guy by the name of Cedric White, Tulo.
He had a record with Scarface.
Yeah, he was black.
He had a record with Scarface called a Fonky Little Nigger, the Funky Little Brother.
On Scarface album, I think it was called The World is Yours.
So I was in middle school going to school with a guy named Touloulo who actually
wrapped and had music videos
with Scarface.
That's crazy.
So he showed me like
you can be a kid.
It's attainable.
You can be a kid and make some money.
You dig what I'm saying?
So yeah, no, it's always going to be,
we're going to go with rap a lot.
And we got love for Swabhouse.
We fuck with Abel, MJ, G, T,la,
Mr. Mike, everybody, you know, all that.
But, yeah, now, we got to pick rap a lot on that, man.
What's you got?
Both of them.
I can't do it.
Straight up.
I can't do it because I'm going to see
Tony Drake at Houston's
and I'm going to see Jay Prince
at the boxing gym.
Not for show.
Got me fucked up.
Shout out to both of them, man.
Shut up.
Cash money or no limit?
Might work keep the cup up.
He's like, don't put the cup down.
I'm going to go with both.
They both brought shit to the game, man.
I ain't go.
You work with both of them?
Both y'all?
Yeah, I work.
repeat i did business with p i did business if you look at the movie baller blocking i'm in the
movie it's a it's a scene where it's like a shootout or whatever and like c-node and the body boys
they brought me up to i'm in the movie baller blocking like in the party scene and that was around
the same time they had the cash money and the rough riders tour right so we was at a cash money
party where they brought out plaques and binleys and i think it was like slim birthday and they all got
like tattoos and dmx was there drag on eve like yeah so we got to go with both and and p he he spent
money with me and in book shows and and we learned a lot like master p was the motherfucker who would
drop 20 albums in one month yeah no he was going crazy yeah no limit was wild with the album drops
Independent or major label?
Independent.
I love to make a home.
I'm going to say independent.
Being with a major label gets you in, like, more markets and gets you more, like,
exposure.
Marketing in dollars, but behind you.
So it was cool for me to, you know, get the fan base and get the radio spins and get the contacts and be on TRL and the
106 in parks, you know what I mean?
But at the end of the day, the person who keeps their context is the person who eats forever.
You know what I mean?
So being able to drop when you won't and don't have to go through this system and all that.
So I prefer independent over being on a major, but I got what I need to get from the major.
So when you was on the major, you was already thinking independent and grabbing these contacts.
Yeah.
You knew I needed this.
Even when I was on a major label, I never operated like I was on a major.
label right like we still pressed up our own posters because you had already had that history for
yourself correct right so we were still just moving like we wanted to move like it's a contact
game like if you keep the contact and you travel and you get the promoters numbers and the artist's
phone numbers you go eat forever yeah the saying is your network is your net worth that's what they
say right all right i think we got the last one go ahead chigo loyalty or respect
loyalty
respect
yeah you
you did that for drink
you did that for drink chefs
I mean
I did that shit
for my life
no
that was fine
yeah I did that for my life
I prefer
I prefer both
some people like
oh yeah
I want the loyalty
love
that's the best answer
I want to respect
I want to go
because I'm going to
talk a motherfucker
if I hope
fuck with you, I'll fuck with you.
I ain't go half-ass fuck with you.
Like, if I fuck with you, we're going out a lot.
You know what I mean?
I don't do the half-ass shit, so yeah, I need both.
What about you?
Both of them.
Damn, that means we got to take a shot.
Yeah, go for a movie.
Let me see.
It's a shot already.
Hold on.
It's shot o'clock.
That's where.
Let me ask y'all, come and
from the mixtape game, right?
I mean, I come from the mixtape game.
I know both y'all come from the mixtape game
when it was analog.
Right.
This is how I feel like independent works.
Out the trunk worked.
Texas, the Bay, Miami, like the south.
I think really
is how we were able to like sustain ourselves
selling music, you know?
How does that translate now in the digital world?
Like, what's the difference for y'all right now?
from that era with screwed mixtape, DJ screwing mixtapes to now, like, how does that translate?
Yeah.
It was more money back then, like selling hard copies or whatever, but working and staying a part of your craft and, like, not budging on your price, you know, keeping your mystique.
Like, whatever your formula is, like, Roe got his own formula, what he does what works for him.
I got my own formula, what works for me.
So I just look at it like, we own some yin and yang shit.
We don't think the same all the time, but we think the same, like, 98% of the time.
So we just do what our fans love from him.
Like, like, the shit that his fans love from him.
He does what he do, and I do the same thing.
So it's just about not compromising who you are as a person and just really working.
But what's the adjust of the change, though, like monetary?
Like before you could literally sell it out the trunk, sell all these mixtapes.
You could go platinum as a mixtape artist.
That's different now because it's streaming.
So how does that, how did you adjust to that?
Like, how do y'all adjusts in a market like Texas where that was big?
We got a core following.
Does it go to shows now more than anything?
If you go to Facebook, he got a thing called Roeheads.
Shout out to the Roeheads.
Oh, that's the fans, right?
That's what they...
No, I can't call them.
No, I hear you.
I don't like calling fans fans.
I get that 100%.
And then I got Flip Nation.
And we just feed our people.
They just believe in what we do, bro.
Like, we just do what we do at the pace we want to do.
Right.
So you do merch drops.
we just unapologetically we be us
we don't have to change who we are
they love us for who we are
we draw when we want to drive we move when we want to move
and they appreciate it
