In the time of the labels. Absolutely. It was a time of no internet. So you had to get it from the muscle. They heard about you from the streets. You know what I'm saying? Now, with that being said, you adjusted to the internet very well.

Absolutely. I got real niggas that I fuck with and they don't fuck with social media, but they follow you. They fuck with you. Absolutely. And everybody always, they always send me videos of you.

How did you, how was it the transition to know that because us being street dudes we we kind of taught to stay away from the camera yeah so but now we got to use it to our advantage and you were smart with that you know i'm saying absolutely so um yeah i mean you know honestly you know i always was known for you know talking talking talking heavy on the DVDs even back in the day. You know what I'm saying? Take some rosé, my brother. I'm totally disrespectful.

You got to have the thumb. Make sure the thumb is there. So this is the problem. Y'all got a meaner, man. Y'all got a meaner. So, um... We hit the major... Normally, this is the internet thing

so you know there was no internet like that you know what I'm saying so I was always known for talking heavy on the DVDs you know what I mean and then one day I get a call from Fendi cocaine dirty money Fendi

little kid manager right now and he like yo man you gotta start talking crazy man you know you one of the greatest shit talkers ever walked the face of the earth man this music right here i'm listening to is incredible man but you not being gilly something what you talking about you know what i mean so he said you know you gotta start talking your shit but you know so i said all right i'm gonna take his advice salute you talking that shit, but, you know, so I said, alright, I'm going to take his advice. Salute to you talking that shit, brother. You know what I mean?

Let's get them drinks up in you, baby. Come on, let's go, baby. But, you know, as a youngin', I used to do it in a different way, so I said, you know, I'm a little older now, I can't do it in that way, so you know what I mean? What I'm going to do? Okay, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to give him some game, because I'm a nigga that's been shot. I've been locked up.

You know what I'm saying? I've been to Thailand. I've been to London, Dubai, Paris, Japan. You feel what I'm saying? So, you know, I've seen every spectrum. You know what I mean? I've been to college. You feel what I'm saying? So, you know, I've seen pretty much everything you could

see out here. You know what I mean? And so I just figured, you know, let see out here. Right. You know what I mean? So I just figured, let me give them some game. I can go to my DM right now, and I could show you. It's hundreds on top of hundreds on top of hundreds of people that just asking questions. Well, Gilly, my girl was this. What you think? You get back to all of them? I mean, I can't get back to all of them.

You know, I get back to a few of them. When I can, I got a life too, you know what I'm saying? Let me ask you a question. What was your first reaction when you heard Meek and Beans on the record together? For that night, it seemed like the city was united for a night. I mean, I felt good about it I didn't understand really where where Beans came in with the

game thing but you know I was I was like cool but did the city feel like I did it like feel like I niggas is trying to get it together a little bit but like from the outside looking in Ias is trying to get it together? A little bit, but. Like from the outside looking in, I was like, wow, Philly is together.

It probably felt like that a little bit more from the outside looking in. But in Philly, see, in Philly, everybody pretty much fuck with each other. You feel what I'm saying? I fuck with A.R. Ab. I fuck with Oskino. I fuck with Meek. I fuck with, you know what I'm saying everybody, it's just a couple individuals that's having problems, but for the

most part, everybody fuck with each other you know what I'm saying, even the young niggas I got records with PNB Rock I got records with K.O.R. I got records with Lights, you feel what I'm saying that's right here, you know what I mean I got records with everybody, you know what I mean and they all got records together. You feel what

I'm saying? So for the most part, everybody in Philly fuck with each other. From the outside looking in, it just looked like You thought that that was like a dope moment? Yeah, absolutely. I definitely thought it was dope. You know what I'm saying? It didn't went south.

It went crazy. I see you on Instagram saying, somebody's going to die. Oh, shit. Did you say that? Listen. I've seen it. I'm old school. Yeah, yeah.

You know what I mean? So when you start to calling people rats, and it's like, whoa. It's like, hold on. This shit going somewhere else. Right. You feel what I'm saying? it's like, whoa. It's like, hold on, this shit going somewhere else. You feel what I'm saying? I mean, I don't know what they situation is, but I just know what I'm hearing and I know what's going on.

And I'm like, man. But to your knowledge, did Meek M and Beans, they had problems? No, I never knew Meek and Beans to have any problems. Right, right. But then they got on the record together, and then it went left. How did the city feel after that? I mean, the city just felt like it was a bunch of, you know, it really should have went that way.

Right. You know what I'm saying? Does it even divide the city? No, it really didn't divide the city or none of that. You know, people just felt like it should have went the way it went. You know what I'm saying? Right. You know what I'm saying? Does it even divide the city? No, it really didn't divide the city or none of that. You know, people just felt like it shouldn't have went the way it went. You know what I'm saying? Right. And then, you know, some people, like, you know, you stand what you do. So it was two sides of it.

You know what I'm saying? But everybody's from the outside looking in. Nobody really knew what would actually happen. Right. You see what i'm saying so for me i just mind my business because when the situation went down with with uh meek and game right you know i talked to game right you know what i'm saying and i said can you know game i fuck with you whack what's up nigga you know i already know how we is whack you already know you feel what i'm saying but you

know me i mind my business only time i beef is when it's about my niggas. Indirect niggas that hang with me every day that's going to risk their life for me. Other than that, I ain't shit. So as the people, like you said, the people name you the king. Absolutely. I do respect mine and my business. But do you feel just a little responsibility, like you could maybe help the situation, or you feel like the situation is too deep?

You know, at the end of the day, if it's two individuals that's arguing, you know what I mean? I'm known for stepping in. In my city, that's what I'm known for. Like, yo, let's get together. What's up? What's going on? Because a lot of times, niggas don't got beef. The shit be made up in their heads.

They get in front of each other, and it's like, no, dog, I really fuck with you. I fuck with you too. For real. Or they're peoples is the cause of it. It's like, what the fuck was going on

then if y'all fuck with each other? Exactly. You niggas is goofy, man. Hurry up and hug, man. Exactly.

The fuck is wrong with you? Like, you know what? You know, Fat Joe is my friend. Like, you know what I'm saying? He's my real, real,

real friend. Not was, is your friend. I said, is, is. You know was, is your friend. I always say that to get out of this or something. When he asked, he was like, he was trying to get in contact with Jay.

I had just got in contact with him. I felt like my responsibility. I felt responsible. I felt like, you know what? Jay trusts me enough to get on the phone with Joe. Joe trusts me enough for me to lead that way. And I did it. You know what I'm saying?

I felt obligated. You don't feel like a little bit obligated? No. If you're the king of Philly. No. You know why I don't feel obligated? Because somebody got hands put on them. Oh, yeah.

Once the hands get put on, I can't step in and say, yo, man, I'm a nigga shit. No, I can't. I mind my business once you get to that point. You feel what I'm saying? Because as men, you always got to give two grown men a chance and time and space to iron their own situation out. But then if it drag on and, okay, hold on.

Wait, y'all, what's up? What's this really about? Is this shit about something? Is y'all ready to shoot it out on and, okay, hold on. Wait, y'all, what's up? What's this really about? All right. Is this shit about something? Is y'all ready to shoot it out? Bang, bang. If y'all not, then what we really talking about? This shit ain't about no money.

All right, come on. All right, everything good? Yeah. But at the end of the day, when somebody, when hands get put on somebody, somebody gets shot. All right. Some shit like that happen. I mind my business. It changes everything. You know what I mean? I understand where you're coming from

man I just want you know just for the people of Philadelphia to know like you know I just want y'all to have it together you know because you guys got a lot of talent we're all black at the end of the day and I hope y'all can work it out whichever way

I don't know what needs to be fixed but um I mean I don't really know what needs to be fixed, but... I mean, I don't really think nothing needs to be fixed, you know what I mean? Shout out to Meek, man. Shout out to Seagull, man. Shout out to Beans, man. How powerful more would the city be if everybody was fucking with each other? I mean, it would be, absolutely.

But, you know, for whatever reason... I can see the Philly tour. For whatever reason, everybody ain't fucking with each other. I fuck with everybody. Imagine a Philly tall. I want to invest in one night. Just one night because I know something's going to happen out there. I'm not tall.

You got to understand. You got to understand that one time, state property and us was really trying to, you know what I'm saying at each other at each other each other like this is at each other you feel what I'm saying and now we all good right you feel what I'm saying I used to like Bianca she never gave me no play no give me no play big you up Bianca okay I'm sorry I had a moment there I'm sorry but y' a moment there. I'm sorry. You were left with that. But y'all good now. You're good with beans. Yeah, absolutely.

How about Pete Crack? Yeah. Okay. All right. I was with Crack in the studio, too. Okay. You know what I mean? I'm praying for y'all, my brothers, because you know why?

It's just, I used to, what the city's going through I went through and I realized that if I smack you all it's going to do is put something red on you that's it but if I put my shit together

and I punch you I can knock you the fuck out so what I'm trying to say is we're always better when it's together. Right. We're always better. When it's together. You know what I mean?

Well, a lot of people don't know that. A lot of people want the quick smack. Right. And the smack is just to have attention. Right. No, let's knock the nigga out. Absolutely. But in order to knock the nigga out, we got to be together.

Right. That fist got to be closed. There's some niggas that can smack, knock you out with a smack. Absolutely. I ain't one of them. I ain't man. It's strong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, super strong. I'm just not one of them. You know what I'm saying? that fist gotta be closed there's something that could smack knock you out absolutely super strong i'm just not one of them you don't say that but again so you know i i gotta give all the love so now major figures now was it always your plan to be a solo artist i mean yeah absolutely absolutely it was all our plans to do like you know as know, as it was Dutch and Spade. Yeah, it was Dutch and Spade.

You feel what I'm saying? I had my solo shit. You know, Bianca was a solo artist. Bump was a solo artist. Lava was a solo artist. But we was all a group. You feel what I'm saying? Okay.

Now let's get to the cash money days, baby. Oh, yeah. Let's get to them, baby. That was some good days. Some good days. Some good days, man. Good days. Were you the first really nigga to sign Cash Money?

I believe so. How did that happen? At the time, I was signed with Draper, Tony Draper. And he was going through whatever he was going through with Universal. And I wasn't able to put an album out So I It was a concert in Philadelphia With Cash Money

And on the show I was coming out right before Cash Money So I seen Stunner backstage And you know he was like Yo what's up You know I fuck with you You know what I mean If you get out that situation

You and I gotta S for you You know what I mean? If you get out that situation, you win. I got an S for you. You know what I mean? Talk about the cash, money, peace. I'm like, cool. All right. So, you know, me and Drape always been cool. You know, me and Drape got a different kind of relationship. You know what I mean?

Drape is a real life. You know what I'm saying? That's Suave House. So everybody knows that. Yeah. So, you know, I just called Drape up like, yo, Drape, you know, I got an opportunity. I was hollering at, you know, stunner, blah, blah, blah. So Drape, all right. So I just called Drape up like, yo, Drape, I got an opportunity. I was hollering at Stunner, Blase, Blase. So Drape said, okay.

He was just going to release me. But Drape gave me some real nice chicken up front, the biggest contract he ever gave anybody. You got a couple of big contracts. Right. So I knew I had the leverage because I knew just in the way Stunner was looking, he wanted me to get on that team. So, you know, I worked out something with Drake.

I shot his something. I got shot me something nice. Then we made it happen. And now, at first, it always looked like you was having fun around them at first. Me? Yeah. I mean, it was fun. Around cash? first me yeah i mean it was cash cash money yes it was fun we had some fun days you know i i i i developed a lot of good relationships right

around cash money and now um so where did it go south when you got that what happened oh yo look i got you i got you you're not giving the bing ting. By the way, let me just explain. Pissing is when you put ice and champagne in France. It's the call to make a pool. But I like the way they pour the bottle. So I took their word as sing and I made it my shit.

So just in case, you know what I'm saying? I did it. You're pissing. At one point, you was beefing with cash money. Yeah. I mean, I really wasn't pissing. You're pissing. Pissing in someone's car. So, because at one point, you was beefing with Cash Money. Yeah. I mean, I really wasn't beefing, you know, because. Because you're cool now. Man, absolutely.

What were you two, Amber? Yeah, I'm cool. But take us to those days back then. You know, Wayne had put out a problem solver. You know what I mean? And he said, Gilly, man, I don't think you really want to fuck with me. But I kept saying, dog, he's saying really.

Like, he not... You know, my niggas wasn't trying to hear that. Even my six-year-old son was at the time was like, he said, Gilly, dog. So, you know, just the competitor in me, I said okay

I called him I did the honorable thing Left a message no call back So I dropped the disc record You know what I mean And wasn't you still on cash money when you did that Yeah It was on

Let's make some noise for that guy, Derek. That was hard. Oh, I got one. I got one. I'm already broken. Oh, shit. That shit fucked my head up. Man, it was the competitor in me. And there was allegations, because, you know, the old Drake ghostwriting things.

Those allegations that you was writing a couple of people's shit over there. Was that true or? Some shit happened. I'll take that. Some shit happened. The one thing I like to be is honorable.

You know what I'm saying? I had a party in King of Diamonds. Out here in Miami. And Stunner walked in. So, you know, I really, I know you. I know him. I know everybody that's around.

This is right now? Yeah, not too long ago. No, no, no. This was two years ago. Two years ago. Oh, okay. So, you know, I seen him. I had to approach him. You know what I mean?

What's up? You know, he looked me in my eyes. He said, I seen him. I had to approach him. Right. You know what I mean? What's up? Right. You know, he looked me in my eyes. He said, I ain't got no problem with you. Well, I see you doing your thing. I salute you. All right. You know what I mean?

All right. Cool, then. All right. It's all love. So, you know, we look each other in the eyes as men, and we say it's all love. Then it's all love. I leave it there. All right.

You feel what I'm saying? I ain't going to never, you know, shortchange you, you know, backbite you. None of feel what I'm saying? I ain't gonna never shortchange you, backbite you, none of that. I'm gonna leave all that in the past because you look me in the eyes as a man. You feel me? I felt okay. I see your soul, nigga. Okay, it ain't nothing. All right, cool. There's some business here.

As a person that was there, and you was there at the heyday, you was around, you seen, like you said, you know them. Would you ever have thought that they'd be here in this position? Yes! What do you mean? Wow!

I mean, you gotta look at what Juvie went through. Juvie's situation, you know what I'm saying, didn't manifest situation. It was like Wayne is the person who rebirthed him. Like, after the new juvie one and all that. And, like, for Wayne to go through it, you thought Wayne would go through it?

But, see, one night. Did you ever have money discrepancies with Babe? Never. Okay. Because I'm up front. I had money discrepancies one time. All right. We getting the checks.

Mm-hmm. So, you know, he called me in the back of the tour bus. He said, Jack, get my bag. All right. Jack's a little dark-skinned. No, Jack was, yeah, low, yeah, low. You know, he said, get my bag, you know. Pull out the checkbook.

Nice. I like that. That was smoke. I get back to Philly. Uh-huh. You good. I go to cash that motherfucker. What? I wasn't prepared.

You feel what I'm saying? Because every artist on Cash Money... Oh, this is a normal team. That was Jackson. Oh, my God. So what happened? Take me from that moment. Take me from that moment.

No, really. Listen. It's embarrassing, moment. No, really. Listen, it's embarrassing though. Listen, you want to know what's even more embarrassing? Alright, put me on, please. Right? I done got checks on top of checks. Right? So what's even more embarrassing is that

I'm at the bank. I go to the bank. I say, what you mean? There ain't no money in that account. I tell him, I was like Pinky. Want some real shit you never seen Friday? Of course, of course.

Which part? Pinky? Say it again, nigga. I'm in the fucking bank. Like, what? Bitch, this is cash money records. Fuck you mean? Ain't no money in there. I was about to say, wait.

money in this account. So, you know, I left out the bank, you know, I called Stunner and said, yo, bro, I go to the motherfucking bank. Bitch in the bank, talking, ain't no money in that account. I'm still offended. What's that? Say what, wall?

We'll call Yolanda, wall. Yolanda's who wrote the cash money checks. Oh, wow. So then I look, my shit said Brian Williams. I said, I won't take this no more. All right. My shit just say cash money. All right.

So, yeah, I went through that before one time. Oh, this is deep. I'm before the... I mean, I'm just speaking the truth, man. You know, there's probably a lot of record labels that, artists that don't went through that shit before. Nah, nah. No. You never went through that? I've never got a bounce check for a record label, nigga.

Nah, I'm going to keep it a hundred. Well, he said it wasn't technically the record label. It wasn't. That's where we're at. I get stunted the benefit of this. He might have had five, six accounts. You know what I mean? He might have gave me one.

But just seeing them beefing, that's like, that's not, that's not. Might have gave me the bad one by mistake, man. I ain't going to put that. But only once.

But you heard all the incidents. No, no, no. Shit, I was only going to take once. Right, right. Not on duty. You know what I mean?

One of the workers starts sweeping by my man's feet. This nigga lost his fucking mind. At the time, I didn't know that. I didn't understand what he meant. He said, fuck, what the fuck is you doing? I'm very superstitious. We can't walk around the pole. We can't do nothing. He grabbed him and said,

I'll knock you the fuck out of here. You want me to knock this nigga out? The worker was scared the fucking death. I'm so sorry, worker. You're a bully, man. I'm looking like, hey, no, it ain't that deep,

bro. It's deep to me. See, I didn't know the superstition shit at the time. When I clip my toenails and my toenails, if I go get a manicure, I make sure I leave with my shit. Wait, wait, wait. Say this again. Say this again. Say this again. They clip your nails. Yeah, like when you know you get your shit done.

You leave with your nails? I make sure I take my nails. What do you think they're going to do? They're santeria? Yeah, that's right. That's exactly what I think they're going to do. I don't cut poles. If you're walking down the street, cut a pole.

I know. That I already know you for. Like, I see the dude. I'm going to tell you why I'm superstitious. Right. My man, Rashe. I'm so sorry. I was telling this story, Rashe.

But this is Halloween. We, you know, we kids, so we walk down the street, the nigga cut the pole. So everybody like, why you cut the pole? He's like, man, fuck that shit. I don't believe in none of that stupid shit. I'm a child. We rushed, we rushed the fucking

supermarket. You know, it's Halloween. We taking all this shit. Chinese nigga turned around, he swung one kick. The only kick he got off was Rashe. You know, it's Halloween. We taking all the shit. Chinese nigga turned around. He swung one kick. The only kick he got off was Rashe. Rashe went through the window. This nigga dick got cut off. My nigga.

My nigga. From that day forward, I believe in superstitions. You know what I'm saying? Rashe, my bad, my brother, but you know this is true. This is it. I was terrified as a kid. I think I'm like nine. So since then, everything, superstition. And then, yeah, my grandmother used to tell me, when you cut your nails, you make sure nobody don't take them.

So I still do that. So you walk out that joint with your toe down? No. That's the Latino side, right? That's the Latino side. That's your Latino side, right? That's the Latino side. That's your Latino side. That's 100% my grandma, my Latin grandmother. That's some real shit, though.

You can't eat at people's crib. You can't do nothing at nobody's crib. When they believe in something and they install that shit in you, that's why being Spanish is ill. I always loved that I could go be a nigga one day and then go be a spick the next day. And the two cultures would collide and they would fuck with me. And I had to learn how to maintain both. I had to learn how to be like, you know what? I could be

Spanish. You know what I'm saying? Like drop me off in LA, in East LA, and I'm going to relate to one of these Mexican niggas. You know what I'm saying? And the same way you drop me off in motherfucking North Philly, somebody going to relate to me. It got weird, but I'm very superstitious. That's why he thought I was crazy as fuck.

Probably still a little crazy. You was going off in that motherfucker. Gilly, man, I'm very proud of you, my brother. You know why I'm proud of you? It's something that Puff said to me one day. We were about to announce something that we got.

By the time this comes out, it's probably already announced. But it's something he said to me. He said, every time I see you, you be smiling. Like, smiling is important. Absolutely. Your haters hate when you smile. Right. And you're always smiling.

You're always smiling. Tell Shaggy to come in. He out there. What is he doing? Tell him to come in. But you're always smiling. Why? Why? Why?

Why? Why are you not a hater, Gilly? I mean, I refuse to. Shit. Certain niggas just want to hate. They just, you know, it's genetics. blood. I never seen G. But, you know, it's genetics. You know, a nigga daddy was a hater. A nigga great granddaddy was a hater.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder, Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West

and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space

and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Now, Shaggy, I heard a rumor that you had negotiated your album.

Oh, this is, yeah. You negotiated to a rumor that you had negotiated your album. Oh, right. You negotiated to get six or seven dollars an album. After the million, right? Is this true? Is this true? Is this true? It's a rumor. It's a rumor.

The thing about it is I'm the artist that nobody ever see coming. So when we did Hot Shot, which sold Angel and Wasn't Me, the one we did Diamond on. It was a bidding. I did a record with Janet Jackson for How Stella Got Her Groove Back. I remember this. Oh boy, I love you, so that record, right? Now, it wasn't supposed to be a single on the album. Mary J. Blake, because the soundtrack

came out on MCA. And Mary at that time was the darling of, of, of MCA. So they put her record as the single for the movie to come out. So the movie came out.

So the album had to come out, but her record wasn't doing well at radio. I had done this record with Janet Jackson. I never met Janet Jackson. We ain't done it together. Jimmy jam and Tara Lewis hollered at me. Apparently I wasn't in the studio no no no hold on i'll tell you i'll tell you how we ended up doing doing that record together um

what's what's the name terry mcmillan terry mcmillan right who wrote oh yeah she's the one the story was about okay yeah she was the one in jamaica and the jamaican dude was you know courting her and all of this shit Then he turned up being gay afterwards and all that shit But that dude Apparently when he was courting her The record that they used to fuck through was Boombastic So she

Exactly so what was happening now She says to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis No matter what Shaq you gotta be on that record So they hollered at me And I did this record I hear the hook boy I love you so I said we won't you said Mariah or Janet I say anyone anymore for me It wasn't my choice. It wasn't my choice. He said both of them.

I'm like, at that time, I'm excited. I'm a little reggae dude. I've never even met any of these people. It ended up being Janet. Long story short, when Mary Record didn't work, Ragey just started playing that. The record went to number one for me and Janet. So now I got a bidding war.

My man Craig Calman was trying to sign me. Atlantic? Yeah. Okay. He was going hard. Right. And there was a bidding war also between MCA and Craig Calman. The money kept going up. The money kept going up. Right. We had about a half a million, six or 600,000 or some shit like that. Craig Calman at that time wasn't the head of it. He was like the president of a guy called Roger Aime was his boss. Okay. So he had a cap of about a half a million. He couldn't go over. He went to Roger Aime and be like, yo, I listened to Shaggy album.

You got to let me sign him. MCAs has got me up there. I'm maxed out. Roger Aime says, true story. He says, that's reggae. You'll never make your money back. Show me a reggae record that album that is sold over a million records. You're You'll never make your money back. Show me a reggae record, an album that is sold over a million records. You're not going to make your money back.

And he said no. So I went with MCA. Now, in doing that, part of the deal I did was I did escalation. For MCA, I did an escalation on every million. So there's a half a point escalation on every million. And they went with it because they didn't want to give me no more upfront money. They capped out a half a million.

Okay, how are we going to beat Atlantic? We'll give you a half a point escalation. They say to a boy, he reggae. Ain't no reggae ever sold over a fucking million. Fuck that. Give him the half a million. The half a point escalation. Fuck that. He'll only half a million, the half a point escalation. Fuck that. He'll only sell a million.

A million and a half the most. Fuck that. Well, we sold 10 million. God damn it. Make some noise. Yo, Gilly, where was you at when you heard? It wasn't me. Where was you at?

Shit, I was in Philly. This here tour on 99. Yeah. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. Your nigga had, listen, your song, you could use for everything. For anything. For anything.

I told the kids they could use it for their mom. I said, my hand wasn't in the cookie jar. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. Anything. Anything. How do you think of making these, when you made these records, you thought it was going to be global or you just, it's doing you? To be these When you made these records You thought it was going to be global

Or you just It's on you To be honest with you Some records you know are special There's also Another story to that Saying it wasn't me What if I told you that

I believed in the record so much When I did it But the record company didn't want it And my current My ex manager at the time Didn't want the record either So we all I tried want the record either. So I tried giving the record away.

So you know Tonto and Devante? They sing, Everyone falls in love, which Tory Lanez just did over there. They had that record at that time. Tony Kelly produced that record. Wait, it wasn't me? No, they had Everyone Falls in Love.

It was a big record. I called this dude called Brad DeCappin, who was the A&R and r sony at the time i gave them that record i said i said yo this is a record i think it'd be a good follow-up after everyone falls in love the dude said i don't think it's a hit and he played another record called which is produced by tony and i'm like, I'm right on that too. But I'm saying this is a record. I actually voiced Tonto and Devante and gave the record to them.

And A&R turned it down thinking it wasn't a hit. Then I gave it to a kid called Notch from the Bunch of Americans. Oh, I know Notch. Don't make it don't right now. Exactly. He came back to the studio after he cut the record and says he got a vision from God that he is supposed to do these kind of records. Fuck me. I mean, like God gave him the wrong vision.

Speak him up, though. So I ended up it ended up that this white dude came. We got a new A&R because, you know, it was my A&R at that time, too. Oh, boy. From what? Old boy from, um, what's old boy from American Idol? What? Black guy. Randy Jackson. Randy Jackson was my A&R. Wait a minute. This nigga Shaggy over here shooting match.

He was my A&R MC at the time. Randy Jackson. But Randy Jackson was making a lot of hits, so they brought this white boy in. German dude by the name of Hans Hedda. He came to my house in Long Island at that time. Which is close by you over there, Queens. Because I'm right at the border.

So he came over there and he walked in with a bag of fucking weed. He came in and was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm the new A&R. I'm like, I don't smoke. So he go back on the phone and call his boss. He was being racist? He thought all Jamaicans smoke. Yeah, he probably all Jamaicans. All right.

He was racist. He was racist. He called me. He was like, he called his boss. I hear him on the phone talking to his boss. It's like, what the fuck do I do with a bunch of Jamaican when they don't smoke weed? All right. All right.

because the model of Jamaica is out of many one people. Right. So, Moodie, you're black, you're white, you're Chinese, you're Jamaican.

The roti Jamaicans, the Indian. But my grandmother is white. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, and, you know, my wife is Irish. And I'm saying,

and Jamaica, so it's all, it's all mixed up. So what's worse, Shaggy? Jamaica or Philly? The question is Irish. And I'm staying in Jamaica. So it's all mixed up. So what's worse, Shaggy? Jamaica or Philly? What question is that? Philly. It depends on what part of Philly.

It does depend on what part. Because I've had some great fun in Philly, too. So it all depends on where. There's a war zone in Philly, man. That's a fact. They said if you live in Southwest and you're from the age of 14 to 25, you've got a 24% chance of being shot. God bless. God bless Philly.

Feel what I'm saying? God bless. It's goofy, man. We need to get it together in black communities all over. So what is worse, Philly or Chi-Town? You say Chi is worse at this point? See, with Philly, we always at the top in murders. Because when you look at total crimes, like rapes and carjackings,

and we really not into that. Our youngins is into, we're going to shoot you. That's just what they into I don't mean to say this in any bad way but you know I'm just kind of happy that somebody else is taking that record

Jamaica had that spot for a long time absolutely I'm here in Chi-Town feeling like shit we ran that shit for years at least somebody take the spotlight off of that. By the way, we got coconuts, you know, and beaches. I'm trying to change a whole new league, man. That's how we feel.

this is how you know you visited Jamaica. You gotta be scared at some point. Right. You're not scared. If you don't feel scared, you ain't visiting

the real Jamaica. That's why you can't claim that. You stayed on the beach. You was a doctor. I went to a strip club like dust till dawn. They turned that bitch on for us. Wait, say that again?

What? We went to a strip club in the middle of the day. They turned that motherfucker on for us. And the chick came out going like this. What? I was in the date. In the date. Where were we at?

Where were we at? We went to somewhere like a tourist spot. But we said, we don't want to be in a tourist spot. We said, take us to the hood To a strip club And they went They knocked The girl said

Gilly you got it It was not that hot It was not right You had to go to Jamaica Or you was a drunk enough But it was hilarious It didn't matter It, you got it. It was not that. It was not, right? You got to go to Jamaica and have somebody go to Jamaica. Or you was a drunken up. But it was hilarious, though. It didn't matter. It was amazing.

It was amazing. I'll bug it. You kick yourself. You got to go to Jamaica and have somebody go, all Jamaicans do that when they mad. You want to kiss them teeth? Kiss teeth. And kiss them teeth.

There you go. Kiss my teeth. You be like, telling you the old lady. As soon as I landed, it was three times I went back to back to back. And it was like the same old lady just ran over my foot. Boom. I was telling you, the old lady, as soon as I landed, it was three times I went back to back to back. It was like the same old lady just ran over my foot. I was just like, excuse me.

She was like, oh, shit. Oh, shit. Then you got to go to the hood. I'm going to tell you this funny story. We're going to keep it real, right? I'm keeping it real right now. I shot a video with Lexus and Wayne Wonder. And they didn't close me.

So what happens is we're in Jamaica. This is Pone's idea. Pone said, Pone go to Tivoli Gardens. He's like, yo, you got the best weed out there. He never tells me it's the worst hood ever. I don't know this. But this is my nigga. It's his idea.

Let me go for it. We go this. But this is my nigga. This is his idea. Let me go for it. We go out there. Yo, my nigga. The guy do this. You know? Do this. This nigga's huge. You can't go to the hood without

you got the highlight. You ain't gonna film inside there either. Unless you have what it is. Whatever you want to word this, I had to do it. Met the nigga, cool nigga. Great guy.

Very unassuming guy. Short guy, little stocky, but very unassuming. You would not think that that guy is the guy. I got you. I met this nigga in a cave. I met this again, like a cave. He had like a golf course in a cave. Shit was the hardest shit.

It's the Taliban. I ain't even trying to be business. I'm keeping it on. You know, you know, you know. He wasn't in a cave, man. Get out of here with that. All right. All right.

Listen, he was the mind. That's what they call it. The mind. The mind., he was the mind dim. That's what they call it. The mind dim. The mind dim don't meet in public. Met him in some L place, playing golf. Nigga, yeah. She was there. Never seen no shit like that. But anyway,

so we, you know, we got the pass. So we in this spot. And Rooster, building big a Rooster. Yeah. That was his, like, the guy who was controlling it there. Yeah. So we kept filming,

and so Rooster comes to us and says, he goes, yo, you know, when you guys finish filming, you don't gotta go in the trailer. So I knew exactly what the nigga was trying to say.

You niggas look a little soft. They look a little soft. But he didn't say that. But I'm reading, I niggas look a little soft. Yeah, look a little soft. But he didn't say that. But I'm reading. I'm a street nigga. I'm reading through the lines. You know, after I film, you know, y'all don't got to go. I was like, oh, shit.

So I film next scene, right? I stand there. For some reason, I'm dola. I don't know how my niggas stay in the trailer. These are some tough niggas I got with me know how my niggas stay in the trailer. These are some tough niggas I got with me, by the way. Real killers in the streets. But they were just sleeping.

They sitting there smoking. Niggas not paying attention. The guy goes, you got weed? I said, yeah, I got a little some. My nigga, this nigga hand me a bag of weed like damn near the size of this table. Like that. So now this is crazy shit. They just told me, yo, don't go back in the trailer.

My homies in the trailer. But I just remember what he said. So I stood there. I said, you got to take it, Norrie it So many wild Jamaican niggas With swords on they face These niggas got this You know I like steak These niggas

These niggas looking at me like I know I'm a real nigga But now I got a bag of weed The size of this There's no way So I'm trying to get my niggas in the trailer like, somebody come here.

But I'm total. I know I'm protected. But still, these niggas is looking at me like I'm steak. I'm American. They ain't never seen. You know what I'm saying? I stood there. So now none of my niggas is catching on. The cigars is in stood there. So now none of my niggas is catching on.

The cigars is in the trailer. So I walk. I walk. And you know, it's always one guy. It's always one guy. Always. And the one guy goes, and I,

give me a spliff. And there's no respect, by the way. Oh, there was no love with that. Nigga just like, yo, give me a spliff. I thought to myself, that's the shrine he been to jail for. Would you dare open up this bag? You open up this bag, the whole hood is, you know,

I'm fooled at this point. Yeah, they're going to smell it. So I got every bit of courage. Knowing I don't got no wins, just in case. They're going to kill him. They're going to kill him. But just for now, I just might not have to win right now.

So I look at the nigga. I say, listen. Relax. Because I will get you. I'll give you a butt. I'm just not doing it right here. And the way you approaching me is just not going to happen. Not right now. The nigga follows me.

I don't say shit. Like, yo, homie. I go in the trailer. shit. I was like, yo, homie. Yo, homie. Shit. I go in the trailer. I want to flip on my niggas first thing. What the fuck are you doing? Put the nigga down on the door. So I'm like, I like

now he's cool. I pulled out a little bag to hit this nigga. Yo, these Jamaican niggas came out. We tell you, no one touch the Yankee manamaican niggas came out we tell you no one touched the yankee man these had the biggest knives i don't know where these machetes came from my nigga this they look like they were chopping trees somewhere these things can't no one touched the yake no one asked the yankee man the they made they had so much shit to this nigga shit yo apologize to him yo man i mean i mean i was like yo

these niggas were so serious i listen we don't got a hood in america i'm gonna keep it a hundred the thing is the thing is is arguably what that the hood in jamaica is actually run better with the dons than without yeah that's because it's what they say. It was happening in Chicago. There was no more OGs in Chicago. Right. Because there's an order. There's an order you got to follow. Mm-hmm.

You have to follow the order. And that order. Right. Went to come down. You know, most of these guys, as much as you hear about our Zik's, our Doros, our these guys, these guys did a lot of things for their communities. Yep. And I'm saying.

Community love. Like, yeah, kids that couldn't come out after 9 o'clock. Look at my man Spanky out there, too. On a weeknight. On a school night, they couldn't come out. You. And I'm saying, like, yeah, kids that couldn't come out after nine o'clock. My man spanky out there on a weeknight on a school night, they couldn't come out. And I'm saying, and if the kid didn't come over to live, they'd have a conversation with the parents. Right.

Wasn't gonna be no nice conversation either. Right. And I mean, they probably provide his school books and, and I mean, uh, you know, bags,

you know, whatever they needed and helped. So, you know, when those, when you whatever they needed and helped. So, you know, when those, when you got those dons in the neighborhood and I mean, things just run on. Once those guys are out of there,

there was chaos. I'm saying. And then, so you have disorder, so to speak. You know what I'm saying? And there's always that, that,

that it's almost like that unspoken respect. I did a concert in, in the general penitentiary because I'm from Raytown. I was born in Raytown, right on the seaside. So right there, you got that prison. So I went into the prison and played a concert. I was the only person that ever did that for me. And I brought Sly and Robbie, originals. And we went in there and played.

Now, this is a prison that's got super overcrowded, probably close to about 2,000 people in there, convicts. You walk in there, they take everything away from you, including your cell phone. The thing, I ain't seen no guard with a gun. So you probably got like 20 guards and 2,000 inmates. And we on the concert playing. So I'm playing, string up. Boom. First of all, I started to think about it. I got a prison full of dudes.

And all my songs are chick songs. And I'm like, I'm going to sing Girl, You're My Angel. You just bring them to a bad place. You know what I'm saying? I had to switch it up and say, yeah, if anyone on the mother care fool come to my Sunday

Girl, you're my angel And they just rock with it But the funniest, the craziest part about it Was there was a line All the convicts All the inmates were all Out on the line And there was one guard

With a baton And another guard at the other end with a baton. And they stood like this. And they actually wasn't even looking. They were just watching the show. There was not a rope. There was not a barrier. There was not a barricade.

They all just stood in a line. And when I dropped the tune, it's like an imaginary line. And if one dude foot go over another dude look at him and he put that was it so I looked at the guard afterwards I was like how you control all these guys and I mean this is Kingston and I'm saying

you got 2,000 inmates you look heavily outnumbered and he said they ain't really scared of us they're scared of the next inmate. Right. Because one dude step out of line, fuck it up for everybody. It's like the house manager.

You know what I'm saying? So it's that mentality that they have in their head. They say, oh, listen, you know, there's an order that is run. Right? Hey, Shaggy, come in here. We're going to play a concert. We don't see concerts. Once we're done with the whole thing, I was out there. I'm going to say, yo, Shaggy, come in here. We're going to play a concert. We don't see concerts. Once we're done with the whole thing, I was out there.

I was going to say, yo, Shaggy, I knew I was set. Every year. Every year. Do something for me. Yeah. I need to describe that $10 million pussy when you sold 10 million units. Because, like, I sold a million, right? Like, that was it.

But 10 million, like, I know what I was getting thrown at. right? That was it. For 10 million, I know what I was getting thrown at. How was it? At the height. At the height of it. Unbelievable, huh? It's a shaggy ass. Let's keep it real. You're Jamaican. You cross boundaries. Listen, man.

Anybody with that amount of silk. I don't take them to get the brown boots. I stop it wasn't his business. Listen, man. Listen, man. Anybody with that amount of success. I don't take them to get the brown boots. I stop at the pink sandals. Pink sandals. Anybody with that amount of success shouldn't have a pussy problem. But how is it, though? You know what I'm saying? Honestly, though.

Of course it has to be great, bro. Right. That's the thing. For our listeners. You know what I'm saying? For your listeners. That's a personal question for you. The thing is that I was never used, I was never new to these months.

Because if you're ever from old Carolina, that was another global hit. So I've been getting global snatch all my life. You know what I'm saying? And he called it snatch. Global snatch. That's like, you know, he's taking shit down. Taking shit down. You know what I mean?

Like a goddamn. You got to be used to that from day one, from in school. Even though I was in the middle, as a matter of fact, I was in the war. I was probably one of the only few people in the middle of the desert that got some ass.

He got desert yams. He got some desert ass. He got some desert yams. Desert snatch, According to him. Oh, shit. I hope I am. Now, he's out there meeting Walter. He getting yams.

There's a couple of jobs you got. Damn. In the military. I was a cannoneer, which is known as. The tank? No, it was almost a cannon. It's artillery. Okay.

I fire 155 howitzers and the shit lands indirect fire on some fucking grid scare and blow some motherfuckers up. So you're a body support. Yeah. I fire shit. That's hard, Shaggy. Go ahead. So while we was there...

He's stupid. He's stupid. How you body niggas in this? He was in the war. He was in the war, yeah. He was in the war. That was in the first World War. It's on record.

That's a story. The first against Saddam. That's a story. You went from body niggas to sinking to the chest. This shot. This shot. Howard says he got them in two. He shot Howard.

He out there. I don't know. But it's true, John. And he hit him from eight miles away. Yeah, it's over. It's over. But there's certain jobs in there that you get. I used to be, I'm a skater.

What they call in the military a skater. What that mean? Simple means I ain't going around saying hoorah, hoorah. You know what I'm saying? If I could park my Jeep and put my foot up and chill, I'm going to do it. You ain't going to see me running around trying to be the SCO. And that's the military in Jamaica. I'm going to get this now.

No, he was a U.S. Marine. U.S. Marine. U.S. Marine. Semper Fi. You know what I'm saying? Do or die. First to go. That type of shit.

There you go, first Bush era. Yes. First Bush. There you go, Daddy Bush. Ain't it that? That's why the young bush tries to finish the job. Right. While I was there, I was up in another bush. It's all good.

You know what I'm saying? The point I was trying to make, I used to drive and go for the child truck. I'm the guy. Now, you see how you got a navigation system in your car right now? We used to drive them Humvees, them big old flat ones. But they had these big ass navigations, the big white thing. And that was how we used to drive to find a way to the main base to pick up the child.

Now, when you're picking up child and stuff like that, child is actually the breakfast and the food. You go down there, they give you five loaf of bread. I put one under my seat. You get six peanut butters, I put one under my seat. So, you know, I'm the man. You know, everybody wants something, yalla. You know, I pick up the mail. Motherfucker's glad to see me because I got the mail.

You know, motherfucker's just glad to see me because, you know, I come in and I got cigarettes. It is what it is. You know, so me and everybody on the platoon and the battery is friends. Now, how does Janet Jackson smell? I never met her. Remember, I told you. I thought y'all did the video.

We did the record together. She was never in my video. Oh, she never came. No, no, no, no. She never came in the video. I took her to number one, though. It's all good. She didn't want to do nothing with the record, but I took it all the way.

So it's all good. I'm not mad. I just need proof. But I went back. When I went down to the main base, they had women Marines. And they would... Because they're the ones giving you the food and giving you the mail

and all that, the admin girls. I'm listening, Shaggy. So you got to make yourself, you know... But you met Mariah Carey before? I met Mariah. You know what I did? I didn't meet Mariah, but you met her too, so stop fucking with me.

That's the homie. That's the homie. I didn't know no Mariah. Mariah and Mariah's relationship, I forgot. I don't have no famous relationship. No, I'm blowing you up right now. No, I don't. What famous bitches?

I've knocked down a lot of famous bitches, but none of them that, you know, I ain't out there like that. I like that. I respect how you put it. But that was pre-social media.

Like right now, y'all don't fuck with that shit. That's what I was saying to Gilly earlier. But it's a good time to say, are you walking straight right now? Because I know you walk straight right now. You're a good dude right now. Yeah, I'm a great guy. Yeah, yeah. I mean, father, husband, all that shit.

Yeah, you can't work in this time and environment these days. Yeah, nah, nah. You got to put all that down. This is for them youngins. They see now, they want to put everything out there. Me and you, we got problems like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm happy, too.

I'm keeping it real. Yeah, we can. But that's why I know at one point you was a wild i've been that my whole life you sold 10 million we gotta let's make some noise for that god damn it and you know what and ringing and dancing but you know what's illa is that you know you sold 10 million it was a global though it was a global thing You made global music You made music that transcended Like when I made Superdog or Homeboy

I was like, yeah, I'm in. I was like, I'm in. How many regular artists sold as much as you sold? The only other person that sold Diamond is Bob Marley. Wow. So not even Shabba. No. Shabba sold gold.

Wow. Shabba sold gold. But I'm the only one that has a Diamond album. And the first... You're going to tell me Murder, She Wrote didn't even make it that way? No. I think it was a number one. But I had a first dancehall number one with Old Carolina and the British Chart. Great record.

I had a first dancehall record to actually debut at number one in the British Chart was Mr. Boombastic. We did it three times, Mr. Boombastic, Angel and it wasn't me. So you always broke it over there? Yeah. No, no. But I'm saying when you come, you know the British Chart, when you come out on the charts, you got climbing charts,

I debut in that number one. Right? And then I'm the only dancehall artist with a number one album, which is Hot Shot. They took us off the number one spot. I remember J-Lo came in and took us off and we took her back off. It was just one of them situations. We've been consistent. Look at this.

This is 2016. I'm 48 years old and I had a top 20 hit last year with I Need Your Love. We're back up on the charts again. We're at the top 40 right now so still blessed to still be doing that what about j-lo you met j-lo i met her she's one of my favorite how's she smell she's actually great great she smells like his cocoa yeah yeah great you know you know what i gotta i gotta give it up to J-Lo about? You see all these young chicks now That's coming up

All them young chicks And J-Lo is like an OG And you see her on that red carpet She make them bitches look like they ain't trying All these chicks look like they're not trying I met her I was scared I was scared

I folded She's different from me That's like a queen I was scared I was scared I folded I was clean on Puerto Rican It's different for me That's like our queen You know what I mean? Puerto Rican It's like our queen And then when I seen her

She was with Mark Anthony I was I was like I walked in I just froze I was like Oh shit You ever walk in

You see Oh my god Hold up I Whoa I went to the bar I was just like Damn I don't know

Like I don't I feel like I'm like, this is groupie. Like, I feel like it, but I really want to be a groupie. I want to go over there and talk Anthony. If you are a groupie for her, it's good, though. It's cool. Some groupie things ain't cool, but that's cool. This is why it was awkward.

Hold on, let me just do this. This is why it was awkward. Because I went to the bar. I tried to get smooth. I said, get your life together, no? You know? No, I'm starstruck. These are both.

I'm Puerto Rican. You know what I'm saying? These are two icons to me. So I got there, and I started drinking. And then I looked, and it looked like they were arguing. I said, ah, it's over. I'm not walking over there now. Then they look like they're arguing.

I don't see no security. It's just J-Lo and Mark. I left. I left. I met J-Lo years back at Puff's studio. She's super nice, too. And I asked you how she smelled, too? I didn't smell her, but she looked.

You can't be in a room with J-Lo and not smell her. Listen, that's supposed to be on purpose. That's the first thing you're supposed to do. Well, this was back. I'm talking about way back, bro. When she wasn't J-Lo? This was like 99. She was dating Puff?

Yes. She's already J-Lo. What are you talking about, my nigga? I don't know. She was down there. I didn't know her then. She's a person. Smell her on sight. She don't know. She was down there. I didn't know her then. She's a person. Smell her on sight.

She don't have a down period. Listen, I didn't know her then. I just know, you know, me, Tony Draper walk in, Tino, Lava, and, you know, she's sitting there, and we just looking like, God damn it. Right. You know? Right. You know?

Then it turns into something else, you know? Puff ended up betting $25,000 on my son. My son. Drake bet $25,000 on me. Took him some business. He was doing some rich nigga shit. He was doing rich nigga shit. Oh, yeah, he's totally on that.

He was doing some rich nigga shit. He turned this whole battle session. He's been doing rich nigga shit for a long time. J-Lo was looking good, man. I mean, why is he doing? He's been doing some rich nigga shit for a long time. No, he's doing rich nigga shit. No, I ain't.

He's doing rich nigga shit. Wealthy nigga shit. That's beyond rich. When you sell 10 million units, like, the thing about music is, the best thing about music is when it transcends. When it goes from, like,

and I'm telling you this with the war report the war point so far hundred thousand so I don't got no type of success when it compares to him but the war report was only made for Queens yeah we didn't know any world if you listen to the word what album is so great but it's so also like you can tell we never got on a plane. Just tell anything. I'm going to say, all right. What are those? Nine-sevens. You know what I mean?

Oh, my God, man. I'm going to shoot you in your face. You know what I'm saying? Section two. Like, I... It's real. It's real. Like, because my creativity, it couldn't go because of all I knew.

Be looking at them like, yo, hold up. Relax. One, relax. Two, I'm i'm getting there yeah just be staring there war report listen relax and then you get to do the war report that's what they there for but you didn't do it for that and when it transitions it was a class your music it was you know worldwide from the beginning this is beautiful like me and was, you know, worldwide from the beginning. This is beautiful. Like, me and Gilly, you know, we make the hood music.

Right. We do that. We started like that, though. Because you remember, like, Big Up, Mompe. Right. See, all those records were, like, little records. Because I live in Flatbush. You know what I'm saying?

So all of that, you know, Starlight Ballroom, Biltmore Ballroom, Dynasty, that was our whole stomping ground that we used to go from back in the day.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the

ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company. The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood,

CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,

and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

An era or a year, whatever you want to call it. An era? I would have to say, honestly, the whole Biggie Tupac era. I would agree, too. I would agree, too. That was my favorite. Prior to the beef, though. I mean, nah, man.

I'm just the two of them. Even just the whole. That's the snowman. I would say prior to the beef. I like it right prior to the beef. I'd say prior to the beef, too. Well, Biggie with Big Pop Beef. A little after that.

I know LA LA. You're a part of the beef. I'm in there. He's part of the beef. You know what I mean? It's funny how he just forgot. That kind of sucks. He wasn't about to say that.

It wasn't me. It wasn't me. I ain't gonna lie when we did LA LA we never even been to LA right never we never seen I never I mean

but it was it was it was just looked upon like oh they some real motherfuckers they standing up for they city

like you know that's how it was looked at you know I know from Philly I was a young nigga like Geek. I mean, that was it. It was great. It was ironic

that I went down, but LA is one of my favorite places to go. LA is my number two market. And Drink Champs, I was a kid. I did what my heart felt. They forgave me, I forgave them right we lived on but you know shit really you know that music was real so um do you think this era of music

like you think it's gonna stand the test of time never the music no disrespect but i just think i mean some artists are but the music as a whole, like, like, nah, when you compare that, I mean, because there's a sound for an era. Yes. Right. Right.

Exactly. Good point. Even though it's a sound, if you got that sound, but you got timeless music, right. Then it can stretch. But if it's not timeless,

you know what I mean? Like those rappers made timeless music. Dear mama. You know what I mean? Those rappers made timeless music. Dear Mama, you know what I mean? Those are timeless records. You know what I'm saying? I always think that the flavor or the secret, I would say, to making timeless music is actually doing it with timeless instruments. Because it's like, for instance, you might hear a certain sound on a record that you could just know, oh, that was in the 80s. You could know the error from the sound of the keyboard sound,

whether it be the snare sound. Like that muster clap, you just don't know that, oh, yeah, that's that era. You know what I'm saying? Pick up my nigga DJ Mustard. Yeah, yeah. You know, when you get like, what's that whole Tropical House sound? Once you hear that keyboard sound, you know what era it is. You know what I mean?

There's a certain type of music where you hear that music. Okay, I remember that. All them 80s sound. I think when you're making classics, you got to gotta make it with there's certain instruments that never change your classic keyboard your classic piano sound never change your classic rock guitar never change your classic acoustic guitar never played you know i mean you're big yeah you know i mean so if you keep it you put those elements in it and throw that around it you know a classic record when you hear it you know you got

it you was asking me did i know that wasn't me age it was gonna be big i knew those records were special like when i did mr bombastic the minute we did it i was like okay this this is some different shit i just knew this shit was you know you knew it my problem is always convincing another motherfucker like record niggas and they're just you know motherfucker be like yo well you know it doesn't sound shaggy enough. I'm like, I'm shaggy. I don't know what the fuck I sound like. You sound like Shaggy regardless. Yeah.

What the fuck do you mean? I, you know, it don't sound shaggy enough. Well, you know, I don't think that's a Shaggy record. Right. You know, cause they sit there and they overanalyze this shit. You know what I mean? And it's the cookie cutting shit. It was like, well, you know, he did old Carolina.

We'd like you to do another old Carolina again. I'm like, yeah, but I'm, my musical, I ain't there. I'm on some other shit. Well, you know, I think you to do another O'Carolina again. I'm like, yeah, but musically I ain't there. I'm on some other shit. Well, you know, I think you should do O'Carolina. So I refused to do it. And then Chacademos and Plies did, you know, Twister and Shout and Tease Me, which was kind of the same as O'Carolina. Then Apache Indian did Boom Chocolat.

Which is normally in the radio world. Because it was so huge. They started doing that. And they told me well you know he said Wanderer is never going to go out so I came back with Bombastic

which was total fucking different but it's you standing up to that and that's what being a young like now

you're older now you're going to sit down and analyze and shit it was like well you know I really don't want to piss the record company off

but when you're a young buck and you don't give a fuck I just said I had money and I bought a car and I was getting pussy I came in I could give a shit

I'm saying fuck the record company I'm going to be honest that's what I'm saying because you're young when you're young bucking. You don't give a fuck. I just had money and I bought a car and I was getting pussy. I could give a shit. I'm going to be honest. When you were young, that was my whole thing at that point. They called me difficult. I was like, yo, fuck you. I got a beam up. I'm always difficult if you don't want to win. I'm difficult if I want to win and you will disagree

with that win. I'm always difficult. I accept that. My thing is patterns. And you will disagree with that win. Right. I'm always difficult. Right. I accept that. But my thing is patterns. If you see a pattern go down, if you got a chick that fucked on you all the time, fucked on every man she been with, and then she come and say, Nori, you know, I know I fucked on all my five guys, but you are special. Chances are she going to fuck on you too.

That's a pattern. You know what I mean? They got dudes in my record company That every record they touch fail And they still wanna call shots I was about to go into your story You know what I'm saying So you do a Shaggy video

No man Who that I'm gonna take a piss break While you tell the story Really Over the story man And you tell the story wrong On top of that

Fans love the way it's a story. It's a wrong story. It changes every time. Guys, this is a grapevine by itself. They love it, man. If this is drunk history, the story just changed every time. You acted out differently. It's fucking awesome. I'm going to tell a story.

I'm going to tell a story. So, you got something? You got something you want to get out? Yeah, take a piss. Hold on, I'm going to tell a story. So, you got something? You got something you want to get out? Yeah, take a piss. No, no, no. All right, God damn it. Hold on, come on. We got about five, ten more minutes.

We were, right? Everybody good? Unless you want to keep going, we can keep going. No, that ten minutes is good. I'm already in my other appointment. Does Gilly the Kid still, do you love rap still? I still love rap You can tell man

I just understand that Now rap is about a wave You know what I mean It's the wave You know what I'm saying More than You know The talent

It's the wave But it's kind of coming back around to rap now with like Davey. You don't have to ride the wave necessarily. Right. But you know, that's what they do. You know what I mean? That's what artists who not,

a lot of artists don't know who they are. They trying to figure out who they are, a lot of young artists. But it seems that hip hop is getting old enough now that it can fall in its own categories. It's going to be the youth hip hop, and it's going to be the other eras of hip-hop. Right, absolutely.

You really can't be an artist this day unless you're a celebrity. See, back in the days, you could have been an artist without being a celebrity. You know what I'm saying? Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is some ill shit. Yeah, now you got to be a celebrity. Right. You know what I'm saying?

Like, you would hear about Shaggy one time when he got a hot record. I was in your red carpet, dude. That's why you ain't got no tabloid information that you trying to dig up on me. I'm still trying to figure out who you knocked down. I know who you knocked down. I was like, I heard. I said, Shaggy knocked down.

Shaggy knocked down. The thing is... You was knocking Hollywood pussy down before marriage. It's okay. I get all of that. Give us one, Jackie. Tell us one, Jackie. The point is... I'm saying to you, Nor, it wasn't me.

It's my story and I'm sticking to it. You're sticking to it. I like that. But everybody got to be a celebrity. It's almost as if you got to air your laundry out to get your music played. Because it's a numbers game. It's about followers right now. Yeah, get your followers up.

It ain't even about whether or not a record. There's people who never had a hit, but they got mad fans that sing every line to a record that they do because they got numbers. You know what I mean? Do you think people are making disposable music nowadays? mad fans that sing every line to a record that they do because they got numbers. Do you think people are making disposable music nowadays? It's probably disposable to you and me. I mean, not everybody. People have always made disposable music. Always.

Always. But now it's just more of it. Because now it's like the record labels is looking for, oh, this is a hot record. This is all we care about. We don't care what you got lined up next. Before, it was like, hold on, but what

we going to follow this up with? You know what I mean? And then what we going to follow that up with? Now it's like, we can sell this and you don't sell it after that. Oh, shit. I respect that. You think I was just

drinking cocoa butter? I'm taking a beer piss. A beer piss? You really drinking your own shit? But it smell like cocoa butter. You know black people love cocoa butter. Come on, man. I understand.

This shit related to me immediately. I don't drink cognac. You drink this, though. I drink that. I wasn't even a cognac drinker, but I fuck with this. I fuck with that. You know what I'm saying? These boys know what they're doing, man.

I fuck with the cocoa butter. That's what I'm saying. You got a massage chicken. Smell it, bro. You get a drunken massager at the same time. I ain't gonna lie. Shit. This, I definitely still want to wave my leg.

Like, this is the thing. So how'd you get involved with this? Well, I mean, the guys that do Grey Goose, a fellow by the name of John Frank and his wife, Andrea, they were, like, really big Shaggy fans. I actually played at a birthday party for them, and we just became friends. And, you know, I just played. I didn't really know who the guy was, and, you know, we just became friends and uh you know i just played i didn't really know who the guy was and you know we just kind of kicked it off and then realized that you know i think gray goose was sold for like three billion or something like that you know so

at the end of the day yeah so at that at that point he started to you know during our friendship started telling me about the liquor business let me Let me understand it a lot more and realize the opportunities that was there. You know what I'm saying? Of course, 50 did a wonderful job. Yeah, he did. 50 did a wonderful job with FN. We support him over here. But it's a big business.

You know, it's a business with a lot of restrictions. So it was already created. Well, no, he was just telling me about it. And then he came up with the idea of doing it. And what he said to me was like, we're going to be first to market because there's not a cognac. There's flavored vodka, but it's not a flavored cognac. Because like I said, you know, I seen Ciroc before.

Right. Before Puff got involved with his drink Ciroc. Right. In France back in the days. Yeah. And Puff came involved with his drink, Syrah, in France back in the days. And Puff came, seen it. Right. He's a genius, he is. And he just brought it to America.

And coming up with a flavor, like a flavor cognac, a coconut flavor cognac. But that's actually good. I ain't saying this because you're here. That was good. And it was smooth. It does go down smooth. And it fucks you up. I'm fucked up. It's a here. Yeah. That was good. And it was smooth. It was smooth. It does go down smooth. And it fucks you up. Yeah, I'm fucked up.

It's a fact. I'm in, though. This is my home. But the thing about it, too, what was genius about him, he says, one of the biggest selling industries, the perfume industry. Perfume. Yeah, like a cologne, the cologne industry. And when you think about the cologne industry.

The kid about to go get a cologne. Look at him. I'm telling you. But with the cologne industry, the thing about the cologne industry. The kid about to go get a cologne. Look at him. I'm telling you. But with the cologne industry, the thing about the cologne industry. Keep talking that shit, Shaggy. The actual cologne itself is not what's expensive. It's the fucking bottle. And what sells it is the bottle.

No matter how dope the bottle is, that's what the fuck you buy. You know what I'm saying? Grey Goose sold because of that fucking bottle with them fucking gooses in the back and shit. And the shit look good. That's a fact. And from the bottle is like that. You look at that shit, even now I'm done with this shit, you probably going to take the bottle

home and be like, okay, I'm going to put this on my stack. That shit looks sexy. You're going to see more bottles, nigga. I'm going to have a home. I got you. That's not a lie. I need more bottles. That's right. So, you know, you got to get into everything now, man. That's a

different era now Back in the days we just sold records And made our money and drive our business You gotta do too much Now you gotta be a brand This is why you're doing this If you gotta be happy at life So why do they tell me that's what you drink

I don't know why Because I can't get that This is what I drink when I don't have that I'm not gonna have this here and go drink that. See, I'm a gin and tonic dude. Gin and tonic. What is that, by the way? It's Hendricks gin.

But whosoever told you this, I don't see the tonic water. Yeah. Oh. So you're fucked. They ain't tell us no tonic. Right? There's no cucumbers. You need cucumbers for it. What are you trying to blame me for? No, because I'm saying, like. I ain't going to You need cucumbers for it

What are you trying to blame me for I ain't going to drink a hundred bites Today I have a drink He's usually a club soda guy But I totally forgot Remember where Papa at Papa said I think I should get

What do the people drink during the juice But I wouldn't have got the tonic I would have drank that But that was great that you got your own what do the people drink during the juice? But I wouldn't have got the tonic. Yeah, the tonic, yeah. I would think that, but that was great that you got your own liquor. We support that. You know what I mean?

Smell like cocoa butter. I like it. You can say that too, yo. Nah, it's good, man. We definitely hook you up with that. Trust me. You know what I'm saying? We support you, man.
