What's the website?
I wasn't ready.
I'm taking this home.
Can I take this home?
Yeah, please.
Take it.
We'll give you all the flavors.
Please.
Yo, my twist.
How can you remain so humble with all the
accolades you made? I ain't gonna
front. Earlier you said you had
art. I seen art that's bigger than
that tree in your house.
You got Mickey Mouse's
sculpture. Cars.
Booking museum.
But you still humble.
You still came here
as a humble person.
How can a person succeed so much and then still be as humble as that?
Just knowing where you come from.
Just knowing that, you know, Roman noodles used to be my dinner every day.
You know, just knowing the studio.
Ramen noodles.
You know, just knowing that a, ramen noodles, you know, just
knowing that a dollar of french fries
was, you was famous.
Some ribs from the Chinese
store, you was extra famous.
Cheese, pizza with extra
cheese, you was extra, extra famous.
You understand? And just knowing
that we all come from the bottom
and, you know, it's a blessing for us to be here today. For us all come from the bottom And you know
It's a blessing for us
To be here today
For us just waking up this morning
You know we die in our sleep
How do we know what life is
God rest in peace Q
Q from world
He died in his sleep
You know what I'm saying
Rest in peace Q
Terrible
But you know what
You know what's interesting about life
Before they finish this shit
That they're doing in the background?
Oh no, that's right here.
That's not real.
You know, in your dream,
you can use 100% of your brain.
But in life, you can use
5% of your brain.
Like in your dream,
you can overcome every obstacle.
You can fly, you can do whatever the fuck.
You can do everything, right?
But in life right here, you're just so bound and strapped down.
So is this a dream or is this life?
And that's one thing that we got to battle with every day.
And I wake up in the morning, I'm like, man, I just had a dream of me flying.
And I'm in earth and life and I can't fly.
So is that a dream or is that reality you understand so we got to figure out what side of the fence we on you know this is a movie
we're not the directors but before we get up out here whatever like you know because i just
remember damn 10 hard years of sw just controlling it. But whatever producer that you said, damn, this guy might got me.
Or this guy might come in for the next year.
Whatever producer you was like, yo, I'm going to step my game up.
A lot of songs.
You know, I Wish I Produced the Benjamins.
What about the Benjamins?
Who produced that?
Derek Angeletti and the Hitmen. D-Dot. D-Dot. You understand? I wish I produced the Benjamins. What about the Benjamins? Who produced that?
Derek Angeletti and the Hitmen.
D-Dot.
D-Dot, you understand?
You know, I wish I produced They Want to Flex, Dots to Flex.
They Want to Flex.
Because you might as well pull back the intro.
They Want to Flex. And I was like, damn.
You know, this is before I became honest.
I was like, damn.
Imagine if I did something like that.
Where would I be you know um
just to get a rep gangsta so so so with the same mind frame what producers influenced you the ones
i'm talking about right right but is there specifically like you're saying the song but
is there any star so premiere right right you know uh uh i don't i don't know who the producer was
For Dice Effect at that time
Anybody know?
But I wasn't inspired by producers
You understand
I never even knew what a producer was
No I wasn't inspired by DJs
I wasn't inspired by Ron G
I wasn't inspired by Kate Capri
I wasn't inspired by Doo-Wop
I wasn't inspired by 1200 Assassin I wasn't inspired by doo-wop i was inspired by 1200 assassin that's the next prize
in my you know uh sns you know what i'm saying i was inspired by uh dj red alert
chill out tony touch tony touch flex you know all these djs clue You know I was inspired by DJs
And I became a producer
By default
I became a producer
By just making
Intramural
Because I heard you
Was a DJ
Yeah
And then
I heard
Oh so you was a DJ first
Didn't you go to West Indies
Or something like that
No I went to Atlanta
I thought you went to Atlanta
And the West Indies
And you came back
Or something like that
No no
I grew up in the Bronx And he gave you A whole I grew up in Boston Road Which was and the West Indies and you came back or something like that. No, no, no. I grew up in the Bronx.
He gave you a whole.
I grew up in Boston Road, which was like the West Indies.
So I was the first youngest producer decent at the start as, you know, Slick Rick had his incident outside.
You know what I'm saying?
I was there for those different things.
And Super Cat had his incident outside.
Right.
I was there for those incidents.
And I was a producer.
I used to DJ with Renaissance, Waggy T.
Yeah, Waggy T.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, Stone Love.
I was the hip-hop producer for those DJs at that particular time.
Young to even be in the club at that time.
You know what I'm saying?
And I was just out there thugging it.
You know what I'm saying?
What, what, what, what, whatging it, you know what I'm saying? Thug, thug,
what, what, what, what, what, what, what.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, NRA,
you know what I mean?
Wow.
And your favorite
ever in hip-hop is?
My favorite?
Uh, musician?
No, period.
Just, just in...
My favorite ever in hip-hop?
You just keep it real clean
and simple as DMX.
Mm.
Because I was able to witness that movie in a front row seat.
But there's different
eras of DMX. So can
we lay where it's at? My era of DMX.
The era of DMX.
And then the return of DMX
which we haven't been able to
see yet. It's unwritten yet.
It's written but it's unpublished
yet. It might be perfectly expressed. You understand? see yet because it's unwritten yeah it's written but it's uh unpublished yet right okay it might
be perfectly expressed you understand and so you know i might have been a fan of a lot of other
people but you know what i wasn't able to you know a lot of people that we think that's real
is not really real you understand like their music might be real but they might curl under
that pressure they tell my tuck under their ask pressure you understand and like you know with the dog you ain't
never ever seen a dog talk about no other labels than my family label Yamukala. What? What the hell is that? That's a blessing. Yamukala. Say it again, though.
It's an Arabic.
Yamukala.
Right?
I like that.
The thing that I respect about Dawg is you never seen him flipping, flopping through labels since he started.
He might have had bloodline, but it was always a rough ride somewhere around him.
Ever.
People tried to buy him out for way more money than we could afford at those times.
And the dog always kept it $1,000.
And that's why in this current time, people are going to be able to see his movement in God's speed.
You know what I'm saying?
Let's make some noise for that. I got you.
Hot sauce is good, though.
Hot sauce?
Yo, yo.
Yo, Ali, you got to close the deal already.
Swister took two shots of hot sauce.
You got the website?
Drinkchance.com. Coming soon.
And that's the hot sauce boss
over there.
The hot sauce.
She switched
to two shots
of the hot sauce.
That's the dude.
Talk all
talk all about
that.
Let them know
where they can
find the hot sauce.
I don't know.
That's the hot sauce.
Drinkchamps.com.
Drinkchamps.com.
Dang.
The drunk sauce
is on location
right now.
They ain't just
talking about
doing business with Sh Chi-Town.
Drunk Sauce.
The Chi.
Drunk Sauce.
Let's get it, Papa.
I'm taking this home.
Say no to the glass.
Look, this one's not even open yet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not even open yet.
That's a hot sauce, kid.
Thank you.
So hot is a kid from the Bronx, right?
Shh.
You speak to your uncle.
They may or may not believe you.
You come to the studio with me.
We make it classic, but at that moment, remember,
remember, he took another shot.
That's hot sauce.
He likes hot sauce.
I don't know.
I think he's
But remember
But back then we record the record in 97
It don't drop to 98
Right
How do you maintain
To say yo I'm
The guy
These records that come out that next year
Because we had to record it in 97
Because I mean that's just how the climate matched up.
Am I correct or maybe?
Factual.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you had to record it a year earlier.
Everything took longer.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, I might be fucked up.
No, no, you're correct.
You're correct.
Me too.
But how do you maintain to say, I know what I did is this, and let me continue to go.
You know, the blessing that I had was I was always in control of my destiny.
You know, I never had somebody predict or tell me what I need to do from a creative standpoint.
Now, I did have to answer to my uncles on an
ethnical standpoint.
And that's respect. Protocol standpoint.
I can never,
to this day still, I got to answer those
questions. I can never
be in a problem today
and then present it
in front of the board.
Why? He might have a problem with me and I might feel a type of way. presented in front of the board.
He might have a problem with me and I might feel a type of way.
I can't move on him
until the team say
we have no other choice
or you know what?
That's because of this, this, and this.
Let's help him
instead of hurting him.
There's rules to this.
And I think a lot of these youth out here, they don't understand the protocols and the different ways that you got to go about handling things.
Understand?
Because a lot of people talk about a lot of colors, blood, crips, race, this, that, and the third.
That thing we bleed is the same color.
Absolutely. It's is the same color. Absolutely.
It's literally the same color.
And so, you know, I don't go to the clubs.
You ain't never seen me in no clubs.
Popping bottles, stunting on people, doing this and the third.
People might think I'm stunning, but I like nice things.
If you did, you're testing the record.
I've seen you in the club.
That's it it That's hard
You know what I'm saying
Like I don't
I don't
I seen you do that with me earlier
I went to the studio with you
And you went to
You went to the club
And played bad with TV
I was like
I'm not sure if I'm good
But everybody went crazy
Before I even
No no
I'm talking about that night
Listen If you notice He knew every story But everybody went crazy Before it even At all No no I'm talking about that night Was it minutes
Listen listen
If you notice
He knew
Every story
For every artist
So he been doing that
Since his then
He was a DJ
He took me out
From TV
And played it
And I went to the club
And I was like
I'm not sure
This is 1997
Yeah
But
But
But that was hard.
I felt that the people in the club, if you can play a Nori record,
after the biggest record at that time, we had something.
You understand?
I remember bringing Dr. Dre to the club.
And he hadn't been in the club in a long time.
And he had a hard time being in that club.
But when he heard his music, I seen his life.
Because that's what he does it for.
I seen his life, like, embracing love.
You understand?
You know, and in all my records.
I remember when I brought Hov to the club for On to the Next One.
He was like, yo, you lead that shit.
I'm on my shit.
He was over there in the VIP. I was in the DJ one. He was like, yo, you lead that shit. I'm on my shit. He was over there in the VIP.
I was in the DJ booth. And that motherfucker
on to the next one came and people felt
some type of way. And they looked at me
and threw that drink and he ordered all this type of shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Because we was on to the next one.
You know what I'm saying? But it's like,
you know what? In life,
it's
what we got to celebrate.
There's no big I's
and little u's. A lot of people like to
make a lot of categories of who's
who and what's what.
The war in this world
is between good and bad.
Good and evil. You either
a good person or not.
It ain't about no race,
religion, and about none of that
politics
shit that they put in front of us.
You either real or you fake.
You either good or you bad.
That's the war that we fighting in this
world today. So pick your
side. You either real or you fake.
A lot of fake niggas.
A lot of real niggas. You either good
or you bad. A lot of good motherf niggas A lot of good motherfuckers
A lot of bad motherfuckers
And that's what the war is about
From our presidency
To our streets
To our politics
To our brotherhood
To everything
You got a good cousin
Or a good brother
Or a bad brother
Or fuck you brother
You know what I'm saying
A lot of people in our family
They might get it too
You know what i'm saying because
like can't nobody get you except for a person that's close to you a stranger can't get you
right a stranger gotta be his intel gotta be so precise to get to you
that it's still personal. Let me ask you a
question, right, Swift?
Because you
like, I know you
from the hood.
I know you from the, you want me
to fill you up?
Alright, cool.
But now, you're part of this
Kanye West record.
You want me to go back to Kanye again?
No, no, no.
Because this record was very controversial.
Which one?
The famous record.
Because when he did the video with the naked people.
I'm not naked in any fucking way.
I know.
He made them look good.
I'm a nasty motherfucker.
Look at him.
But, but...
Alright, you're there.
Alright, go back.
You don't want to ban me from all the time?
Fuck everybody.
No, no.
So, but, and then now this tell us what
controversy comes up.
The what? The what?
And because, you know, let's just be honest.
Like, I know you as a hood nigga.
Like, you my nigga.
But at the end of the day, your wife is a very prominent figure.
Oh, Taylor Swift.
Yeah, that's not my wife.
That's not my wife.
No, not Taylor Swift.
No, no.
I don't know what you want to say.
You know what I'm saying.
But I'm saying, like, how do you stand?
And, like, You heard the vocals
Where he was like
Like me and Tilla
Like
Kinda had sex
You know
I didn't really go into this
Thinking about any artist
You know I went into this
Because I got an invite
From my brother Ye
And he wanted to be creative
Big him up
And we spent
More than 48 hours With no sleep in the studio
just doing everything that we felt was good.
And whatever he kept, I was good with it
because I know that we spent that time in that studio
and I even posted pictures of us sleeping on the couch
for a couple of hours that we did sleep at 9 in the morning.
I respected every part
of that craft and I was
happy to have fun with him because
he is in the space where
are you really there for the fun
or the fame or the fortune
or the pain?
I ain't never asked that
man for nothing. I don't even get
Yeezys for free.
We got to stop this right now.
We got to all start getting Yeezys for free.
Let's make some noise for that.
I paid my son.
My son is really into this fashion shit.
I paid like $1,500 for a pair of sneakers.
All right, we got gotta stop this right now
I could violate niggas
Don't make me feel funny about it
I was like you know what
I'm gonna support him
You got the Reebok shit too
Yeah Reebok is a fan
We need some drunk box
But listen
Everybody gotta get they mind right
Reebok this that and the third.
You're either about the culture or you're not about the culture.
I don't care about no position or this, that, and the third.
You either with us or you're not with us.
Shots fired. No, I'm not shutting nobody down.
I ain't shooting no fires because I walk in the building and we'll do that
and you'll read about it.
You understand?
I'm just saying it is what it is.
I like that ball stuff.
It is what it is.
You're either with us or you're not.
Don't...
Huh?
That's my next snag right there.
Reebok is with my family.
I haven't
wore a pair of Nikes on my feet
in nine years.
I don't even know what a Nike felt like.
But if Reebok is going to embrace the culture,
embrace the culture.
They did something with Cam, right?
The pink?
Embrace the culture.
Embrace the culture.
All the way.
A little awkward?
We don't know.
That's not no awkward.
I'll answer questions.
Whatever I say here, I tell it to them too.
In front of the boardroom, in front of whoever they want to talk to.
Because I gave my all.
I gave my all.
I remember I couldn't man with a person a pair of Reeboks.
They would man them back to me.
You had to be from New Orleans.
If you was from New Orleans, they'll love your Reeboks.
You know.
What happened?
You know, I'm saying the reason. love your Reeboks. What happened?
I'm not talking the truth.
If you look at UFC,
if you look at the UFC right now, you see a
Reebok in that ring.
Swiss Beats,
Dana White, Lorenzo
Fertitta signed that deal. I brought that
deal to the table.
I'm the reason why
Reebok is in UFC.
Every uniform.
I uniformed UFC.
It's big as fuck.
They was having Slim Jim,
all these brands
on these uniforms.
I said, you know,
football and NBA
don't do this.
Let's clean up the sport.
I brought Reebok
to the table. They was going to another brand clean up the sport. I brought Reebok to the table.
They was going to another brand.
Got the track.
You got the Elliot Wilson track.
Shout out to all that right there.
That's a special track.
That's a special track.
You did Rap Radar a couple times.
I like Rap Radar.
But this is their track.
No, no, I do like Elliot Wilson for the content that we spoke about.
This is another type
of fire. Totally different fire.
You hear that, girl?
Oh!
I ain't never
did this on TV.
You're on the champs.
I'm inspired. And'm inspired, kid.
And you thugged it out
too, so give me that.

get crazy.
Now, we ain't the
problem for the kids.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the MeatEater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian
Dr. Randall Williams and 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 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 multibillion-dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.
This is Absolute Season 1.
Taser Incorporated.

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.
This five months, we are not just celebrating. We're fighting back.
I'm George M. Johnson, and my book, All Boys Aren't Blue,
was just named the most banned book in America.
If the culture wars have taught me anything,
it's that pride is protest.
And on my podcast, Fighting Words,
we talk to people who use their voices to resist, disrupt, and
make our community stronger.
This year, we are showing up and
showing out. You need people being
like, no, you're not going to tell us what
to do. This
is coming down on us.
And I don't want to just survive.
I want to thrive.
You'll hear from trailblazers like Bob the Drag
Queen. To freedom! Angelica Ross. We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. You'll hear from trailblazers like Bob the Drag Queen. To freedom!

We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.
So what was your most amazing session?
Like, I know you got to have Michael Jackson stories.
You got to have Mariah.
What's that?
That's a muck I have in my bum. What's this?
I'm buying a big bum. what's that? that's a what did? this is
my entire big box
you switched it up
on me without
telling me that?
what?
the weed
or the question?
the weed
you ain't tell me
that was a
bracha
is that
dirty?
let me know
I hate that
let me know
so what was your most amazing session
where you was like,
damn.
This nigga.
Chico the bald.
El the bald.
El the bald.
Chico the bald.
Chico the bald.
The son.
The son.
Chico my nigga.
He was on NRE.
My most amazing session
Was they ain't had shit to do with me
It was Michael Jackson
In Sony Studios
He had that motherfucker
Looking like Playland
Toys, Legos
I went into the studio
Him and Teddy Rowling
In there laughing
And we started to produce
You know Rodney jerkins uh yeah i i i was about
to say some shit okay you can say you can say well don't don't regret it don't say it
you know it is what it is this is rodney you know they don't even know this
but you know new york city is our town that. They don't even know this.
But you know, New York City is our town.
That's right.
Talk about it. You know, a lot of people can play around with it, but you ain't never hear nobody disrespect our family and our town.
Period.
Rough riders who, what, where, how, when.
Never.
And when you heard about it, we carried it out all the way.
Blessings to all the unfortunates, right?
But I used to,
I had a rule that
none of the producers
could get robbed.
So Ronnie Jerkins
would pull up
an Ammon jury,
this one Pharrell,
this one that one,
and I used to see people
who were like,
really planning on them.
And I was like,
if y'all do that to them,
that's a violation.
That means that's open season for me. Y'all might not be around me, y'all do that to them, that's a violation. That means that's open season for me.
Y'all might not be around me all these different days.
I might be in another space.
And somebody might feel like the producer's open season.
I can't be a part of that.
You know what I'm saying?
So my own fellow membership couldn't violate those traits.
So if a producer came in, I don't care what he had on,
he was protected by the law of
kind of what I created.
Out of respect.
And
it saved their lives.
Literally, I'm listening to
people and I'm like,
y'all can't do that to him?
That's like if I'm over here they're going to feel like
they can do that to me
you understand and
they don't even like those producers
they don't even know
how
they don't know
trust me
it was a heist it was too easy
your security not cut like that you not cut too easy. Your security not cut like that.
You not cut like that.
And your manager's not cut like that.
It's whatever.
It was food.
And I wouldn't let nobody eat off the producer's plate.
You know what I'm saying?
It's beautiful things.
I just wouldn't let nobody do that.
Let's make some noise for Swiss, God damn it.
Now, what do you love about the new school?
Let's praise what's happening now.
What I love about the new school is that we can't relate to it.
That's what you love about it.
You can't.
You can't.
That's what you love about it.
I love that about that because...
Because it's evolving.
That means that we...
Go ahead. I love that about that because... Because it's evolving. That means that we... Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
How many people was comfortable in their ways
couldn't relate to NRE?
Absolutely.
At that particular time.
They couldn't relate to it.
They couldn't relate to DMX.
They couldn't relate to Hov.
They were stuck in their old ways.
I love that I can't relate to it,
and it's a constant reminder
and builder of
what we need to have a little bit more
patience with. We might not
understand, but the youth might understand.
And at that time when Nori was coming
the youth understood that.
And then the OGs of that time
their particular team couldn't
understand him. I remember when they
couldn't understand me. I did
Money Cash Hold. I slid my hand across the keyboard.
They thought it was a sin.
It turned out to be a win.
You understand?
The same thing.
Money Cash Hold said it every one time.
He slid his hand across the keyboard.
The keyboard.
I slid my hand across the keyboard.
That's crazy. They didn't think I was winning. They didn't think I's crazy. They didn't think I was winning.
They didn't think I was winning.
They didn't think I would win.
They thought it was a sin because the shit was too easy to begin with.
You know what I'm saying?
Make some noise!
You know what I'm saying?
We're making a meme out of that.
Don't make me make a beat out of it.
Let's go, let's go.
That was hard, Swiss.
That was hard.
So, damn, damn.
So now, this is what I'll say.
I've never been disappointed in hearing hip-hop.
Even when I'm hearing hip-hop.
That's a big statement.
All right, let me...
You have never been...
I've been.
I've been.
I've been.
That's like the shit you're saying.
I ain't never heard that one.
So I need to be very clear on what you mean. You ain't never heard that one So I need you to be very clear
On what you mean
You ain't never been disappointed
In the hand hip hop
No
If I were to say rap
Both of y'all
No no no no
Rap is hip hop
Hip hop is rap
I'm talking about rap too
You ain't never been disappointed
In the hand rap
No no
I've been disappointed
In the hand rap a long time
Rap could be bad hip hop
It don't matter
It's hip hop
A long time
But I'm saying
Hip hop I think saying hip-hop.
I think that hip-hop can continue to exist.
Right.
I think streaming lowered the playing field.
And that's what we need to get into.
Let's get into that.
Because streaming.
I really want to get into that.
What I'm trying to say is,
it's streaming.
Let's suppose whatever, whoever you are.
But as long as you're promoting,
you're streaming shit.
Right.
You can level the playing field for whoever,
who has people who are spending millions of dollars
in these promotional dollars.
Oh no,
I'm not bugging you now.
I think it's changing now.
You know what?
The reason why I like streaming is
because
the streamers are getting their props.
They might not have
the hundreds and
thousands in the first week,
but the streaming
accounts for those different votes
that wouldn't be
accounted for.
So it's like, you know what?
If you independent,
excuse me,
and you're streaming
and your digital component is connected,
you winning.
You know, if you look at Drake
and all of the batteries that he broke this year,
it wasn't really based on physical.
It's like, let's talk about physical. Or let's talk about streaming. It's just really based on physical. It's like,
let's talk about physical
or let's talk about street.
What was the never fancy video?
Oh, there was a fancy video.
I shot that.
We shot that. I was in that.
The reason why I wasn't
approved is unknown.
Let me get my hands on it. I will leak it.
It was fun.
We had a good time.
Same thing with T.I.
Swing Your Rags. No, I know.
Because Gucci didn't want to.
We had Swing Your Rags. They didn't want to play all them rags in that fucking video.
You know what I'm saying?
I got stories.
We never know.
Let's go. I'm here to talk that talk.
And you and Drake, you never really worked together since then, right?
We worked together on my wife's album.
You know, I think Drake is a creative guy.
I'm going to just leave that at that.
Because you don't want me to.
I feel like you got a little old.
No, I mean, we're here to talk.
I feel like you got a little weird.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
No, I'm not.
I'm not a weird guy.
Me neither.
That's why I'm talking to you.
I think both you guys are being weird right now.
I can agree with that.
All right, switch the subject.
All right, switch the subject.
You know what?
You should talk.
You know what?
I feel like you ought to talk.
You know, um...
Let's talk, Swiss.
Nobody listens to us anyway.
I think, like, you know, there's no rules to fame.
There's no rules to that.
When you came in this game, anybody that you know that's famous,
let me know the guy that they had to lead into it.
You understand?
Especially coming from the streets.
Coming from the streets, we didn't even know we could be amongst the name of famous.
We was nameless.
You understand?
People look past us.
Ain't nobody look at us.
Ain't nobody look at N.O.
Ain't nobody look at nobody in this room.
Or better yet, any artist that's playing on this radio that came from the bottom into something.
You understand?
So, you know, when I look at different things, I have to gauge it on a different level.
And I have to gauge on where we come from.
Is there anybody that disappointed you?
That he was going to say something?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Drake come from a different, he come from a different lineage Of where we come from This is a person that is our biggest fan
Turned into
His biggest man
Came from our biggest fan
Turned into his biggest man
He know about
More about us than we know about us
Because
He just tapped into that different he just tapped into that different,
he just tapped into a different zone.
And then he figured out how to make great music.
You know, I'm not even going to, like, for real,
I don't even want to play with these people because one of their mans
wouldn't jump out of the line.
You know, I just respect all the blessings that came to a person
from being creative.
Make some noise
for that, goddammit.
I need a shot.
Pistol whip a nigga
off his fucking private plane.
Come on.
Are we taking another shot?
Come on, guy.
I feel like we're taking
another shot of McCartney.

He said, get your money, nigga.
I said, as I
will. I said,

Bacardi 8
And the fact that
He didn't downplay me
He didn't diss me
He didn't even put me in a compromising situation
He just didn't know that
We owned all those
Different particular brands
So he was like
You know
I'm Ciroc

Great.
You like great goose like that.
You sleep in my house.
My brother, this is not personal.
This is business.
And he said, get your money.

Of course.
Another hustle.
Because we have to encourage each other to go to the next level

There's no big eyes on little you.
A lot of people want to put us against each other.
But we all, when you talk about music, we all under that category.
Big, high, little, low.
Rap.
Nori is under the same umbrella as Hov.
Hov is under the same umbrella as Lil Bootsy.
Whether you like it or not.
Or whoever.
We all fall under these genres of music.
Nobody, like the way that we think that they separated, they don't.
They're going to put Nelly with whoever's out right now.
Because it's mainstream in the last form that they understood.
That's why he didn't go out to Fashion Week literally this week and perform and it'd be a smash hit.
Smash hit, Nelly.
Bang, Fashion Week, Paris.
Nelly the biggest.
Nelly could Drake right now.
Did you see that?
I didn't see that.
Yeah.
That's a whole other thing.
Nelly could Drake right now.
I'm the only nigga that's seen it.
That what?
You know what I mean?
You niggas know about Twitter, right?
Nelly can drink right now?

He wants to get into the real shit
But the producer thing is easy
That's you know
We done
If I recap on what we did
We done shed light on a lot of different things
Now let's get into like
Personal life things
Oh shit you wanna go in?
Why not?
I'm gonna respect you The first? I'm going to respect you.
The first thing I'm going to say is
that I seen
in New Year's Eve,
you had your ex-wife
and your new wife
together in the crib
with the big statue,
the Mickey Mouse
with the ex-exes in it.
That was awesome, man.
Shout out to Klaus.
That's hard.
You had your ex-wife.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That means you had good relationships there.
No, I can't say.
I've done that, but it wasn't real.
Oh, it's not good relationships?
Big Mickey Mouse.
It was big.
It's a big Mickey Mouse.
It's real good.
My wife is here, and she talks to my ex-wife.
But, you know,
both of your ex-wives
is like fucking
people on TV.
Coño, bro.
My ex-wife
and my new wife
is both
beautiful people.
Uh-huh.
But they just
wasn't on TV.
And you are like
a great guy.
At the end of the day,
uh,
regarding my
marriage,
currently in my ex-marriage,
me and my ex-wife,
we were young
when we was dealing with what we was dealing with.
I went to that wedding. You remember?
Yes, I do.
I was late as a motherfucker.
I remember you did.
You know what I'm saying?
I stopped smoking years ago.
You should stop smoking years ago, too.
Go for it.
Keep going.
We understand that language.
People could plot and plan,
but
people could plot and plan But People could plot and plan
Sorry, sorry about that
People could plot and plan
But God is the best of planners
Allah is the best of planners
Right?
And
Sorry to cut you off
Are you an active Muslim?
No, I'm not.
I believe in the most high.
I believe in multiple religions.
I believe in things that relate to me.
I'm just hearing you say Muslim things.
I go on and off a couple of times.
Okay.
Just because it's just my grandfather.
I grew up in.
Oh, that's right.
My name is Kasim Dawood Shamsuddin I have a full Muslim name
I went to Muslim school
I speak the Muslim language
That's what I grew up with
None of my uncles smoke or drink
To this day today in 2017
Which we should all actually
None of them ever had a drink or smoke in their life, ever.
They never did?
No, we never...
The thing that made Rough Riders strong was...
Did you hear this?
They never drank, they never smoked,
and they never messed with people's women.
You know what I'm saying?
Nobody ever...
You know, so a female couldn't interject into the system.
Drugs couldn't interject into the system.
And the protocols couldn't interject into the system. Drugs couldn't interject into the system.
The protocols couldn't interject into the system.
It was real protocol there.
I'm bred from that.
I started drinking and smoking
at 30.
I'm 38
right now.
I had to think about that.
I was lying all types of ages. I'm 38 right now. I had to think about that shit. Eight years. Eight years. You've been doing it for eight years. I was lying all the time.
Ages, right?
I'm 38 right now, and I don't even drink and smoke for eight years because it was a violation.
What made you start drinking and smoking?
When I say drinking and smoking, I don't mean like I have to have it.
No, no, but what triggered it?
You know what?
At the end of the day, I just wanted to be rebellious.
You know what I'm saying?
At 30?
I mean, I'm just saying.
Because I was trapped in all of the ages, my 20s and my teens.
Before that, I was trapped into this thing that was very militant.
Right.
You understand?
So when I had my freedom and I had my money and I had a little bit of fame.
Like I do what I want.
I wanted to be grown. So I smoked a little weed. I smoked my money and I had a little bit of fame, I wanted to be grown.
So I smoked a little weed.
I smoked a cigar.
I drank a little drink.
And I literally started that life at 30.
You understand?
And, you know, I can't say it was the best decision that I made.
I can't say it was the worst decision that I made.
It is what it is.
It is what it is.
Like, you got to do what the fuck you want to do.
Right.
And live your life.
I don't, like, I never been, like, a scared person.
I could have been dead ten times.
You understand?
Like, I've been shot at a bunch of times.
I've been in situations a bunch of times.
You know, but one thing that I knew was honor and protocol.
And I know that a lot of people in this industry that we come from, they don't know the basics.
They don't know the math.
They don't know the knowledge.
So they do different things that's like temperamental, right?
They don't do different things that represent the culture or themselves or their families.
You know, you look at how many rats that we got today.
Ain't never been an extermination plan like we need today.
You understand?
Back then, you knew what to do and you knew what not to do.
Nowadays, people don't even know what not to do.
And you know why I say you know what?
I can't even blame them because they ain't had the knowledge
or the influence or the team
or the structure that we had for that
guidance. So they lost.
They lost ones. You understand?
We wasn't
lost ones. You know, we came up
with protocol, obedience,
discipline, repercussions
and different things that went
against that violation.
Let me ask you something before you
get up out of here.
I'm not going nowhere.
I'm ready to write
my book in this motherfucker.
Because there were two different
eras, right?
When you speak
about J,
then you speak about X,
right? That's two different conversations.
We got it. Exactly.
That's what I'm trying to say.
And then we speak about
X.
That was a certain era.
Then you speak about J.
That was a certain era, either behind
or before.
Yeah. What did you visualize? Jay, that was a certain era, either behind or before.
What did you visualize?
What I visualized was that X put his drug habits, his hard times, his inconvenience to life,
his unchosen parts of life on his front sleeve.
And no disrespect
to Hov, I'm working on him
on his music right now,
but he put all those things under the mansion.
X put it on his sleeve.
Which is the reason why
X would pray with people on their stage.
Bloods, Crips, Bloods,
gangbangers, drug dealers, whoever you named it.
They'd cry on stage for X.
It's hard to follow X with Can I Get A, or whatever them songs were.
You understand?
So that's why Taz had to reverse on that physical stage.
But, you know, Hov is a genius.
He's a smart guy.
And he might have, I have no doubt that he's going to have, like,
the long-term effect that might outlast a DMX.
But he knew what his best challenges was. Nas, DMX, but he knew what his best challenges
was. Nas, DMX,
maybe the two
out of a few.
He respect those things.
He respect DMX, he respect
Nas, and he respect himself.
And I've never ever seen him disrespect those
things. As much as those
people felt disrespected in those
times,
I've been with Hov in a lot of real personal moments.
And I witnessed him listen to Nas.
I witnessed him giving props and respect to DMX,
which is the reason why I'm happy why him and DMX communicate on the phone right now. Now, if DMX would have
signed to Roc Nation
recently...
Why do you want to do that to me? Go ahead.
No, but I'm asking you.
All the way.
You could, but
I've seen your statement. I've personally
seen your statement. It've personally seen your statement.
It was like, yo, I don't mind that the Lox,
that Roc Nation, Lox and the one. I never do.
You know, thought that Roc's son.
Okay.
Would you have felt the same way about the ex?
I don't think, the dog ain't throwing him no sign.
At least you know. But you know what? Let me tell you something. I't think the dog ain't throwing him no time. At least you know.
But you know what?
Let me tell you something.
I seen the dog in Vegas.
I said,
your dog.
He said,
yo,
your podcast is good,
right?
I said,
yeah.
I need you one more time.
He said,
for what?
I said,
I forgot too.
I don't need you.
But the dog.
The dog is with.
You know, if the dog was to do a deal with Roc Nation and was taking his kids to the next level,
because that's our main focus on this new album.
It ain't even about him, me.
It's about his kids and his family.
Because that's what we work hard for.
We done had all the fun.
We done had fun since 98.
You understand?
It's 2017.
And so it's bigger than me, him.
It's about our kids.
Next year, 20 years.
Alhamdulillah.
You understand? Alhamdulillah. You know, it's about Daw about our kids. Next year, 20 years. Alhamdulillah. It's about dogs,
kids, and I really
feel a type of way
about that.
I know that he feel a type of way about that.
If we can't elevate the kids,
then what we was put on here,
on earth to do, was wasted.
You understand?
I believe in no wasted time
on this limited time that we call
life. There's only 28,000 days
to this thing that we call life.
I done lived 14,000
of my days and I'm 38.
So imagine where everybody else stand in this world.
By the time you know the time that you
spend on this world, this shit is almost
fucking over. And then they can
hit you with some more other shit.
You understand?
So I just admire the protocols
and the factors that's within.
You know, as far as dog,
you know, you're either ready or you're not ready.
You understand?
I look him in his eyes,
I'll fight him.
We'll get into it.
We done scrapped many a times.
Off of love.
Yes.
Me and dog scrapped many a times.
We fight.
Physical.
Hands.
Knuckles.
Black eyes.
And then we shoot out for each other for survival, too.
That's in his book.
I protected his life many a times, you know what I'm saying?
Like,
it was just nature.
You're not going to do nothing to him.
That's my brother.
You know what I'm saying?
And one thing I can tell you about Dog,
he's the most generous person
I met. If you look at all his crimes that they talk about, it ain't never been about no real crimes.
It ain't been about governmental crimes.
Him joking with police this time.
You ain't never seen no news with X about him hurting a person or doing bodily harm or doing something really disrespectful to anybody.
It's been about small things.
You understand? And for him to be able to maintain
his capabilities
in his music industry to be
small things, but the media want to
backlash him for big things
and for him to have his stride
and to be focused today,
man, that man,
he got a song called Cancer Survivors.
Right?
Is it about cigarette niggas?
Because I'm about to smoke a cigarette Nah, this is about not
This is about not smoking fucking cigarettes
Cancer Survivors
Cancer
And he's talking about
He's talking about his grandmother that died from cancer
And the cancer survivors
Really are the people that survive
from people that lost ones to cancer.
But also the people
that survive cancer
that's still living
in regrets of cancer.
You understand? He got a song called
Fool's Gold.
Where many of these guys are poor kings.
Big mansions, yachts, this, that, and
that. They have everything but have nothing.
He talks about that.
He got a song called Letter to My Son.
That's going to make every father in the industry change their life.
I promise you.
And we're going to go gutter.
We're going to go bang this back.
We're going to go all that shit.
But that Grammy that he's going to go all that shit. But that Grammy
that he's going to get on that stage, and I promise you
everybody in this room,
it's going to be because of these
songs with substance
that's going to be able to connect back to culture.
Are we making some noise for that right now?
Yeah! Welcome to Play It, a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities

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

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 the revolution but not everyone was convinced it was that simple cops believed

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.

I'm George M. Johnson, and my book, All Boys Aren't Blue,

Thank you, man.
As a father.
My kids changed my life.
My kids made me put boundaries on what I would do and what I won't do.
Our kids, none of them asked to be here.
You understand? I would do and what I won't do. You know, our kids, none of them asked to be here. We might be in our
situation while we're here,
but when them kids come,
they ain't asked to be here. We got to protect
them from all the different things that
we ain't even prepared for.
I have fun with my kids.
I'm a class clown with my kids.
You know what I'm saying?
My dad wasn't, you know, most of our dads
wasn't there for us.
We got to spend more time to come up with less excuses.
You know what I'm saying?
You got the big Mickey Mouse
in your crib.
Yo, that's Mickey Mouse.
The Mickey Mouse that...
That's like a wood.
Yeah, yeah.
That was purchased from the Brooklyn
Museum. That's my from the Brooklyn Museum.
That's my artist name, Kors.
You know that.
That was his biggest sculpture he did at that particular time.
I decided to drive to drink.
What neighborhood was that?
That wasn't Verona.
No, I live in Jersey.
No, Verona, New Jersey.
No, I live in Englewood.
Jersey, you know? Englewood. That's where the big Jersey. No, I live in Englewood. Jersey, you know?
Englewood.
That's where the big shit is at.
Eddie Murphy Old Crib.
Englewood, Jersey?
Eddie Murphy Old Crib.
That's not...
Yeah.
That's not...
What neighborhood is that?
That's not Pomona.
That's life after Pomona.
That's Eddie Murphy Old Crib.
Rich.
With a 40 feet...
That's a 40 feet sculpture in the house.
And the reason why I bought that was because I seen a lot of people in our culture not really giving it up.
So, you know, the 40 feet Kehinde Wiley that's in the house come from the Brooklyn Museum.
And I just want to inspire people that come to the crib to understand that art is a blessing.
And when they walk through the crib they see everything
from that 40 feet to 12 by 12 you know so it's entry point you can afford this and you can work
your way up to that you know but i've seen a lot of my peers they put you know different uh high
branded artists in their house that never connect to them.
Everybody in the Dean Collection I know personally.
I started
the Dean Collection as a personal
gallery for my family.
And then I seen how many lives I was
changing from the things I was buying.
Then I started, I gave my
social media platform to
all those up and coming artists which started
no commissions.
100% back to the artists.
So let me ask you one thing before you get up out of here.
I ain't going nowhere. We're over here.
What's up?
On that Cash Money tour,
it was like you.
It was manly fresh.
Me getting manly fresh.
I mean because
of the comparisons.

16 plus and all them things.
We had to get choppers to them to get out of the personal situation that they had
because of the jealousy that the South had between them at that particular time
that we didn't understand.

Can I ask
A producer question real quick
Wait
Oh this guy
What's the
What's the dopest One of the dopest Instagrams I ever seen Instagram huh Can I ask him a producer question real quick? Wait. Oh, this guy wants to come to the music video.
One of the dopest Instagrams I ever seen.
Instagram, huh?
Was when you was with your ex-wife and your new wife.
Yeah.
That was dope.
You know, progress is the key to life.
Well, thanks.
You know, a lot of people.
That's my fucking shit.
Sorry.
Excuse me, Swiss. Nah, that's all right. The tiger bone just fucked me up. That's all good. Go ahead. life well I know a lot of people it's my fucking shit sorry excuse me Swiss
NASA tiger bone just fucked me up it's all good you know my divorce was a very
hard time in my life and to be able to have my ex-wife and my current wife and
great standards great form due to our kids and put our kids first.
I was like one of my biggest highlights
ever in life.
You know what I'm saying?
Every man should whisper that.
A lot of the gossip,
a lot of people that, you know,
We don't care about gossip over here.
Let me tell you something.
The reason why I was able to handle
even gossip different was because I understood why people hate.
People hate to use it as a cure for their insecurities.
They use hate to use it as a form for them to lift up from their problems.
I was like, that's why
hate is so popular.
That's why negative news is better
than good news.
Because it's a cure to people's
insecurities
that they got to deal with every day.
So if you can look at a Swiss Beats and Alicia Keys
life and it's not
perfect and you can pull
yourself up from that for two minutes
that's the view
that you're inclined
to have to feel
better about yourself that day
even though you ain't did shit about
yourself that day
so for my ex-wife
and my current wife to come
to standards because of kids and
forget about the fame and the publicity.
You know what I'm saying?
That was the greatest time of my life.
You know what I'm saying?
Thank you.
And we got chapters for that coming.
That was the beginning, you know?
Relax, mother.
I've been relaxing.
I've been relaxing.
I've been sitting in this mother...
You know what, Swiss?
Because
we appreciate you for coming here.
I just want to give you the best interview
ever. You gave way more than that.
Way more than that.
I know him.
I know him.
I'm not here for no other reason but to contribute to what you guys have going on being great.
So that's why I'm like, ask me whatever, handle whatever.
I don't feel like I got to talk to anybody.
I don't owe anybody an explanation of any of my past, present, or what I'm about to do
because I grind
really hard for that.
I'm on my brother's show
and whatever he
want from me, I'm going to give it to him.
Problems, no problems
or whatever after that, we just got to deal
with it. We've been dealing with that shit all our life.
There's nothing. This man
that created a platform and figured that with that shit all our life. It's nothing. This man that created a platform
and figured
that out, that's bigger than music.
And I'm happy to see him
shine in 2017
and beyond. I'm
really happy to be here, like for real.
Thank you. I came
here with a bunch of corporate people.
And we love them corporate niggas.

That was your question?
Yeah, I know.
Do you forget sometimes?
You know, my wife is a special person.
Beautiful.
That's respect.
That's respect.
That makes a lot of sense.
She woke up at 7, 6 a.m. Make some noise for this dude. Make some noise.
You know, she woke up
at 7, 6 a.m.
in the morning and said,
she's going to the Women's March.
Wow.
I was tired.
It's the Women's March.
You want me to come with you?
She said, no, it's the Women's March.
Okay, go to the Women's March.
Take them shooters with you.
Take them, right?
As long as you protect them, I'm good.
But she really about that life, and she's been about that life way more than publicized.
I remember going to Africa with her and going to like four hospitals and seeing her face in these hospitals.
And the last hospital, I was like,
babe, why they got your face
in these hospitals?
She said,
these are my hospitals. I said,
whoa, you own these hospitals?
I'm married to her. Wow.
She didn't even tell me all these hospitals
she went to. She built them shits.
She owned them hospitals. She didn't even tell me as her husband that she owned those hospitals. Like it didn't even tell me all these hospitals she went to. She built them shits. She owned them hospitals.
She didn't even tell me as her husband that she owned those hospitals.
It didn't mean nothing to her because the gift that she was giving back meant so much more.
You understand?
That's who I'm dealing with.
She's another type of stone.
I ain't never seen nobody operating on this particular level.
It's an angel from heaven now.
Seriously.
Yeah.
We in Africa in the trenches.
I'm not talking about Africa.
I'm talking about Africa.
Right?
It's two different tones to that shit.
Right, right, right.
It's like Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens.
Like, it's two different zones to that. So I'm going to Africa and I'm seeing
people
living and making
it off of being
30 pounds
and surviving
off of a medicine that they're
able to afford.
And I never knew that my wife was affording
them this medicine.
She never ever told me the story.
I didn't even know why we was
even in Africa.
We was going there and I was going with her.
I seen these people getting the antiviral
medicine
something that they couldn't afford.
I'm like, damn, we're losing all these people for no
reason. I seen all these
people survive under her watch.
You understand?
My wife feed over 300,000 people a year and never talk about it.
Wow.
300,000 over.
Her own money, her own grind, her own things.
Never talk about it.
I'm like, this is her.
It's her own husband.
You know what I'm saying?
This is her. Another type of thing. That's crazy what I'm saying? This is, this is shit,
another type of thing.
That's crazy.
I got a lot of work to do
even still today.
Wow.
I got a lot of work to do.
You know what I'm saying?
She put me on my A game.
Seriously.
That's for real.
That was hard.
Yeah,
she put me on my A game.
Good question,
bro.
Yeah,
well,
give me the hard fucking question.
What do we know?
I know you can answer.
I just wanted to ask.
I'm privileged to ask.
It's getting crazy.
When did you realize that you could change or help out the art team, the visual arts?
The what?
The visual arts.
I don't know.
He's speaking about no commissions a little bit. The what? The visual arts. I don't know what the fuck he's...
He's speaking about no commissions a little bit.
I noticed that I can... how about the visual arts when I just knew that the sonic arts was over-exaggerated.
And I could have came in the game with no commission music and give the musician
100% of what they sold but
I was just so tired of
even talking about music
it was just an old thing to me and
I seen that my way out was art
because it was something that was
still untapped and it was something
that
hasn't been abused
but abused hasn't been abused, but abused.
It hasn't been abused the way that we witness abuse.
But it still hasn't been abused.
But I've seen that.
The abuse that they went through was still a capture.
And we can still capture that.
It's like, we got whipped, beat, stomped out, kicked out, set on fire.
They just got punched in the fucking face for know what i'm saying so i figured that the arts can be saved
and i had fun doing it because it was untapped territory for me i was literally talking about
things that we can excel in doing the music industry because it was so jaded
understand we were so spoiled and um it was driving so much traffic,
and the music industry didn't want to invest in technology.
They didn't want to invest in future living.
And so, you know,
I seen all those different things front row,
and I seen art as something that was still
on that rebellious line of whatever we want to do.
And I seen those lines of confidence. I seen those lines of expression, rebellious line of whatever we want to do.
And I've seen those lines of confidence.
I've seen those lines of expression.
And I say, like, yo, I want to get behind that.
You know what I'm saying?
I know they don't want to problem over here.
You know, so on the street level, I felt comfortable.
On a visual level, I felt comfortable.
On an artistic level, I felt comfortable, and that's what I went with.
Of course.
There you go, man.
Hey, man, let's have a noise.
This feels great.
