Yeah Let's make some noise again For that goddamn album Now Killer Mike Me and you kind of have Like a same story, not only with the Santiago's, but this is like your resurgence Yeah, yeah Like a lot of people, you've

Been down with OutKast, you've been down with the Dungeon Family You've been down doing it, but this is like You coming, it's like you're coming back Out party Well actually it's kind of like my coming out because I never really came out as me. I was always an interpretation of what a major label thought I was supposed to be. And that didn't work out. And then I left and just went independent and kind of found a cool little lane for myself.

And I have a friend and L. Sheldon is a friend too. His name is Jason DeMarco. He was like, he got some rank over Cartooneldon is a friend too. His name is Jason DeMarco. He was like, he got some rank over Cartoon Network, became a vice president and they had a William Street Records. And he was like, yo, I've always pictured you kind of like a southern version like of an ice cube, like of an ice cube

meets Jeezy. And I was like, oh, I feel that's a compliment. He was like, so what if I just gave you the money to make your own America's Most Wanted? And I was like, so you know I'm going to say whatever the fuck I want to say. He was like, no, no, that's exactly what I want. So at that point, I was trying to pivot, do the Mike Bigger thing, you know, which is the AKA and shit.

And I was like, so maybe I need to pivot. He was like, no, no, no, no. I want Killer Mike. I want you saying everything that you were ever told not to say. And I was like, word. Let's do this shit. And me and L got in the studio first. He put me and L together. That's something

I was very curious. How this collaboration. Jason DeMarco was the brainchild. Same friend. Same friend. We were both doing shit with him. So you ever do a thing separately? Yeah. So basically we're Cartoon Network. I owned a record label for like 10 years.

We did like a couple of free records with them through their website. They would use it in the cartoons. They would use my beats in the cartoons. So we were friends. I was doing voiceover. I was doing Cartoon Network. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And yeah, that's basically it, man. We got in the room and instantly, I'm like... So y'all didn't know each other prior to? We knew of each other. We knew of each other in the Parisian. Because you're from Orlando. Exactly.

And you're from? I'm from Brooklyn. God damn it. Make some noise for Brooklyn. It's always a Brooklyn nigga somewhere. Yeah, good to hear you. So what's his name again? I'm sorry.

Jason DeMarco. Jason DeMarco. So Jason DeMarco says, I want you to make this album. But it wasn't originally what you got. No, it was supposed to be me and a bunch of other producers and making My America's Most Wanted. I got in the studio with L the first day. I called Jason that night and said,

you got to produce the whole album. And L was like, nah, nope. And then I aggravated the shit out of him for the next year. It's just calling him like, nah, nope. And then I aggravated the shit out of him for the next year. It's just calling him like, yo, you know your other name. For, what, two months? Yeah, two months. Him and Jay just hitting me, hitting me, and I was like, look, I like Mike. I actually really

like Mike. We didn't hit it off. He was like, but I'm making my own solo album. I was like, I'm doing my record, and I was like, I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry I can't Alright alright Maybe a couple beats It was supposed to be

Like two beats And we went out there We did like three jams In the day In like the first couple days And they were crazy And I went home

Told my wife I was like Your life's gonna change I was hoping to see your wife Where she's at? She here It's her mom's birthday She brought her mom to South Beach

So now she out on the beach Smoking her mom Let's make some noise For your mom Yeah Shout out to my brother Yo So

Now Was the first album On Massapelle as well? No The first album was Cartoon Network Because it was rap music It was my solo record He produced the whole album

Alright And then He had a mixtape to turn in He was like I have to turn this mixtape I gotta go After we came off tour He was, I'll give you six joints. We toured together.

I dropped my record a week after he dropped his record. Yeah, so we went out on tour together. Kids loved it when we came on stage together. And then he was like, at that time, it took L a little longer to write. He was like, I got to go focus on the mixtape. I was like, yo, I'll come up there and do the mixtape with you. He was like, where? He was like, no money. I was like, I don't give a fuck. I just like rapping with you. I was like, so I'm going to come up, and we're going and do the mixtape with you. He was like, where? He was like, no money.

I was like, I don't give a fuck. I just like rapping with you. I was like, so I'm going to come up, and we're going to do the mixtape. So we went up there. We did like five joints. Got them bitches out, and we sent them to Jason DeMarco, and we sent them to our man Taco, Lil' Shalamar. And both of them hit us back like, if y'all niggas don't make a record,

you fucking nuts. If y'all don't make this an album and a group. So the first album was an homage to groups that we respected. So we said we're going to be a real rap group. And if you're going to be a real group, I got you in on that. If we're going to be a real group, we got to have four classic albums like EP of D. We got to have chemistry like Mobb D. Tell me, tell me.

That was something that y'all actually said? The first day, yeah. Four classic albums like EP of D. You got chemistry like Mobb Deep. Tell me, tell me. That was something that y'all actually said? The first day, yeah. Four classic albums. By EPMD, you got to. Chemistry like Mobb Deep. That's the bare minimum. That's the bare minimum. Yeah, yeah.

We got to go to my thing. I want to go 70 of UGK, 8 Baller, MJG, and I want to be as outrageous as OutKast. Not in the literal, but I wanted us to be a true group. And shoot people like a born in Oregon. Exactly. But we wanted to be a real group, man, like you guys, like great groups. So we were determined not to try to play the solo artists in the first record. Made such a splash after we got off tour.

Like we went on tour opening for ourselves. Let me tell you something, man. He was with me, actually, EFN. We were in L.A. Right. It's nice. It was a festival, I believe. With MERS.

With MERS, big up MERS, who I think should be the first rapper booking agent. Shouts out to MERS, real short. I told him he did such a great job. I said, why don't you just be the rapper booking agent? He said, I don't have enough time. I said, well, maybe you should make enough time because I feel like we should have our own booking our own. I put it in his record. Because I feel like rap is a race.

Not white, black. I feel like rap. Right. I feel like next time I go fill out an application, I'll just write rap. But I was on tour. No, we went out there. We went to L.A., hung out with Alchemist. Yep.

And y'all was right, y'all came on right after me. I had brought out Onyx this day. And we was recording in Al's studio at the time. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, I seen two brothers go on stage, and I stood there. When was this? What show was this?

It was a solo show for me. He came up and jumped up and did it. We got a picture from it with Mike and Vlad. And I wasn't aware of one of the jewels at that time. I was just a real killer Mike. And when I seen two brothers and he brung you out, like he said, and when I seen what was going on, I was like, this is something different. A black and a white brother that has the same cause.

For right now, you brothers' cause might be the most important. In the industry period because of race relations and everything that we're dealing with. And again, like I said, I had heard about Run the Jewels, but I had never seen you guys present until that very moment. And when I stood back, because that's what I do, I just stood back. And everybody don't think I watch

because I act drunk. I always do. But I sat back and I was like, damn, this is so important. I didn't know how important it would be to write this moment. Like, I understand, you know, God's having a number one album,

but this is something that should be celebrated. Wow. Because you can't get blacker than Killer Mike. And I strive for it. I'm going to be like this. And to have you... American Spirits. Yo, listen. I pulled out Camel Cross

I said I smoke white cigarettes He said no you don't And I said you are correct I am not that white I'm striving to be white There's always a level whiter So Now you guys

Be an approach to do this album Because obviously LP is a person Who stands on his obviously, LP is a person who stands on his own. Killer Mike is a person that stands on his own. So, what was that moment like where they was like, let's, why don't you guys be a group? No, that wasn't that. We decided to be the group. Jason decided we should make my solo album together. Yeah, this was just.

Out of that came the opportunity to do a mixtape together. We had just grown to be friends. Honestly, and just to clarify, it was just me wanting to do a project. I just wanted to do a mixtape together, we had just grown to be friends. Honestly, and just to clarify, it was just me wanting to do a project. I just wanted to do like an EP, but we were already friends. It's gotta be you, right, Jameson? I can't fuck with it.

I can't fuck with it. Okay, come on, let's go. Yeah, that came for you guys. The black guy drinks whiskey in this group. I used to. I had to quit. I had to quit. Yo, where Ali at?

2007. You quit drinking these niggas? No, I quit drinking Jameson in 2007. I used to drink whiskey. I'm Irish. Let me big y'all up for having the weirdest liquor request ever.

They're writers. They're writers. They're writers. Mascow. Mascow. Jameson. There was multiple liquors in there.

Yeah, it was different. I liked it then. Yeah, Moe. That's what I drink. Pop that rose. Can I get some ice? Wait, I'm a white star. Give me your cup. Oh, you fuck with a white star? Yeah, yeah. different. Mo, I liked it then. Yeah, Mo, that's what I drink. Come on, pop that real quick. Can I get some ice? Wait, I'm a white star. Give me your cup.

Oh, you fuck with a white star? Yeah, yeah. You old school age. Yeah, exactly. You old school age. I drink what rich drug dealers I looked up to drink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I drink ice to life.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. So, you guys make the group. Now, what... Hold on. We make the group. Now, what... Hold on. We make the group, but we go on tour opening for ourselves. So you got a Killer Mike set, an LP set, and then a Run of Jewels set. All right, so we play...

Because we didn't know if Run of Jewels was possible. They just killed it. Yeah. Did y'all pay each other stuff? Y'all open it up for y'allself? Yeah, open it up. I never heard of that. Open up for yourself? Yeah, open it up. I never heard of that.

Open up for running shoes. Try to get out on the mullet, please. The mullet. So we do it. But tell the guys. I've been asking you that for a while. We ain't sure it's going to pop, so we said we got to give them a little of each. We do 30-30 and then like 30 or 45.

30-30, I think 45. But the crazy shit is we playing with 300 to 500 people at that time. So we're playing small rooms. And it'll be a group of killer Mike fans there. Oh man shit We have to see kill the mic we see The whole male case LP I kind of fuck with this guy the LP fans there. Oh kill the mic I never really fuck over that fuck with okay. Oh, and then it's just be a group of kids just standing there like oh Okay be a group of kids just standing there like, oh, okay. Like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, come out in the same fucking clothing as Run the Jewels and all of a sudden this whole party just went crazy. It was like two new motherfuckers just started. They didn't even realize

it was us. And we were on Run the Jewels. After the tour, I remember my management saying, so yo, what we gonna do about a solo album?

I said, what the fuck, solo album? I'm like, ain't no solo album. I'm in a group. Cancel that shit. Y'all are management tier.

But now, both of you guys, as being solo artists, was it difficult to make that conversion? Or you just rolled with it? Yo, it was so easy. That's why we did it. Like, we just did the music. What? We did the music for fun.

And what part of Brooklyn are you from? I was raised in downtown Brooklyn for most of my life. Right outside of Fulton Mall. Oh, shit. Yeah. I used to go to Abbey Square. I grew up in Abbey Square. Born in Manhattan. Brooklyn for most of my life right right outside of Fulton Mall I'll be square Now we just did the shift we just did the shit it wasn wasn't really easy. Every time we did it, it was just because it was the opposite of hard.

Like we've been doing our solo records for a long time. I put my first, I put my first album out with Company Flow in 1997. So and I've had like, you know, six or seven. You been out long as me, nigga. We some old niggas. We actually came up around the same time. And Stretch and Bob were a big part of it. We actually came up around the same time. And Stretch and Bob were a big part.

Stretch and Bob. Yeah, that was the one. That was going to get honorary. Nigga, you a young nigga. You old as me, nigga. That ain't a song like me. I ain't got a nigga.

Exactly. But that, I mean, so how, I think we had this discussion with our guest yesterday. How? Because Because I mean At the end of the day I'm going to be honest

I need to drink something though Please What are you doing Yeah yeah I thought you were drinking A whiskey with me in there You want a shot You want some

I'll drink a shot of whiskey But alright fuck it Come on Yeah let's do a shot Come on Just one though Don't let me do any more than one We're not responsible

For what's happening Bam you right there I'll pour me a shot Come on man That's one though Don't let me do any more than one We're not responsible for what's happening Bam you right there I'll pour me a shot We'll shoot him up I mean I'm gonna sip this actually Oh okay You can't sip a shot baby You gotta take that shot

But it has ice Don't call it a shot Man you can sip it I fucked up So as you guys I listen to you guys music And I can tell that It's about real hip hop

At the end of the day I see you guys shows I've come I watch it I watch it online I watch the live streams so is it is it when you hear new school hip-hop is it like that or is it like whatever let these young brothers do they thing. I'm like, this shit jamming. Right. What a hoes. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? Like, yo, I'm from the south, so, like, I was telling my partner today, I was riding

around with my partner James, man, from Luxury Lifestyle Transportation. He was like, man, you know, what you think about the new guys that ain't serious as much as y'all? I said, man, I grew up in Atlanta, so half my day was Luke, the Dawgs, 2 Live Crew, Uncle Al. The other half my day was Outkast, Goody Maul, Wu-Tang, Capone, Norega, Nas. So for me, I'm comfortable in this space because I get to get fucked up listening to all the shit that's real hip-hop and all the shit that's variations of it. I ain't bothered by none of it.

I'm encouraged by all of it. I never understood that shit. I never understood. I mean, you know, I just don't. What you understood? I don't understand How people can't find Something joy Joy in the

In the new music That's happening now I agree That's all I mean but It's not like I'm judging it I'm just like My perspective is

You know The 808 is so heavy right now How could you not be happy Without it My father always It's so heavy right now My father was one of the Greatest people I ever met in my life. KJ, you know my pops.

This is a guy I really grew up with. I called you KJ. I'm so sorry. What's your new name? Khalil. Khalil. Khalil. Peace, bro.

We're childhood friends. So, Khalil. But my father told me, you always see what you like in a person first. Because if you see what you like in a person first. Because if you see what you like in a person, if they fuck up, you gave them all the chance in the world to like them first. So that's what I do with new hip-hop,

and I don't feel myself disappointed. Like, to me, my bitch is bad and bougie. What's the guy? Migos. No, I know the Migos. Donald Glover, shout out to him. Donald Glover. But if you look

on my timeline, three weeks before that, I went on my timeline and said, that is the hottest record out. And if you an old nigga and you don't like it, you just a hater. Right drop. Yeah. Drop. And I said this. Stop it, I'm clicking the hot box. I said this, because. Talking about your bitch shit.

How could you not like that shit? How about, and not only that, my girl is a real crap pizza. Woo! You hear, like, that's who, like, we play. How could you not like that? We play this shit on our tour bus. Like, he played Future's last take, played the fuck out of that shit. Ray Sherman, we both love.

I'm a huge Migos fan. Like, we play all the shit, man. And that's, you know what I think? I think that the more legends embrace the new guys, it's going to make the culture broader. If we don't, we do. Because if you don't, we don't. Because you know what? You know what?

One time I remember somebody saying to me, damn, I don't know how I'm just Burt Risky. I ain't even pick Risky. What? Burt Risky just now. I'm sorry of Risky. What? Burt Risky just now. I'm sorry. But somebody said to me, they said,

how could you listen to that shit? That's not real hip-hop. That's not what it is. And you know what I told them? They said, they said, they said, so why would you do that?

I said, because that's the same exact thing they told me about me. Word. They told me I wasn't real hip-hop. A lot of niggas can say that just ain't getting no pussy either. Like, let's be frank. Every nigga who say that just is a non-pussy-getter.

You know what I mean? Niggas be saying that shit because you can't be with no hoes. You can't be gobbling women, ladies, whatever the fuck you... You cannot be with them and not hear the jams. You just can't. And a lot of them like jams. It's real or not real. However you see it. But man, if you've ever been

in an Atlanta club and the motherfucking Migos came on and you was half a baller, half a blunder, anything, you walk out of there understanding. You know, that's the thing, Mike. That's the thing, Mike. Everybody, everybody, everybody. Mayday. Relax.

Yes, sir, Captain. Everybody don't understand. That's how you understand a record. Damn. I don't give a fuck if the nigga's from Oklahoma. I don't give a fuck if he's from Utah. I don't give a fuck if he's from Tallahassee. If you go to that town And you understand that town

You will understand why this record Is a hit record Now for me You can look at my career since 97 I've always Embraced down south people Because I'm going to My family

I thought Superdug was like down south Superdug was It was It was a New York Intervention on the South beat But so I always Embraced the South

Because I always had Family reunions Down south Like we just said On Mike F's episode Where's your Your mom's family

Must be from the South No they're from South Carolina I still got property In South Carolina Columbia and Charleston My wife is

Hilton head. So, the thing is, I can't say I always knew the South was going to take over, but I always knew the South was bigger than the East and the West. Because when you think about it, you got four

properties on the East, you got four properties on the West, and then anything else in the south. The worst thing the south could ever do is start to self-identify too much with our own cities and states. What do you mean by that? We used to have to identify as a region.

Because it was just like, if you talked with an accent, shit on you, you from the south. So it was like Miami and Houston set it off. Atlanta and Tennessee, Memphis came in a tier. And then you started getting other cities. But when we start to overly identify with our particular city, we bad. We ain't got all the way off.

But when we do that, it's never good for us. When we go, I don't fuck with other niggas because they from Houston. I'm from Atlanta. I don't fuck with niggas. But that's the one thing I'm respected about the South. That's when they fuck it up. You guys always said the South. You got to.

You can't see LP. I bet you LP ain't never say the East. I bet you. I never said the East. We're spoiled. We're from New York. You say Brooklyn. I say Queens.

Listen, LP, we got to start this. Me and you. We starting no more right now. We repping the East. We're repping the East. You niggas in Virginia. We in the East. They did kind of do that, though, for a little while. You niggas in Virginia We in the East We ain't down south

We did kinda do that though For a little while You niggas in Virginia Ain't down south You niggas in Baltimore You quit You niggas with us Are the East

You guys ain't North East Stay Northeast There was like There was a small period Of time though When the East-West thing When people I ain't in front

The East has never Like right now I've seen I've seen a West Coast dude beat up a down South dude. And the first thing a West Coast dude would say, West Coast. And I said to myself, hmm, that's something the East Coast guy can't say. Because ain't nobody from the East Coast going to have your back

when you say East Coast. You got to say Philly. You got to say New York. You got to say D.C. You just can't say East Coast. Hey, man, one of the funniest things, I don't know the exact coast, so don't quote me exactly, but I

love, I love, man, I literally love listening to East Coast radio, right? You gonna hear crazy shit, but I heard one of my favorite DJs, old school dude, say, yo, for real, the East is New York, and I think he said maybe Connecticut, One of my favorite DJs Old school dude Say yo For real The east is New York

And I think he said Maybe Connecticut Or Philly or Jersey He gave love to one other place And then he said All the rest of y'all niggas It was hilarious Cause I know he was halfway

Breaking our balls Cause he honestly Is one of the most Embracing DJs But it was funny as fuck Cause I remember My cousins from New York That's how they work for real But that's our problem

And you know what Not only that I'm going to tell you something That is a way to divide us period Because we're all human At the end of the day And then we're all black And then we're all hip and then we're all hip-hop.

Or we're all whatever. So, you know what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say is it's a divide and conquer thing. But the crazy shit is the West Coast had that above the South and they had that above the East Coast. It's that they can say West Coast and everybody

from the West, from Golden State, which... From Washington down. Sacramento. Niggas in Texas would be like, West Coast. And you're like, what? You need to relax. But that was something that they had over us.

And now the South is actually applying that. People are saying we from the South. I never thought I'd see the day where East Coast MCs emulated Southern MCs. It's a blessing because it's all style. Like on the old Kung Fu principles, how they used to compare hip-hop and Kung Fu. We had Young Dro ahead, right?

Niggas got South the Dro, man. I asked Young Dro, when you heard Panda, did you know that that wasn't from a landler? And he said, immediately. He said the same shit. He said the same shit. Okay.

I was wrong. I thought he was right. All right. All right. Break that down. I mean, you can just. His vernacular? It ain't Charlotte. You know, it's like.

It ain't Charlotte. L.A. L.A. Like, my grandmother forced me to speak a certain way. Like, it's the way I pay for education. How you doing? What was over there? Tell them about that.

When I'm with a group of my friends, it's like you should probably be a certain way. Like, it's where I pay for education. How you doing? What was over there? Tell them about that. When I'm with a group of my friends, it's like you shit probably be with your Spanish family. Like, L said, no, it's that shit you say when you

with a bunch of Atlanta dudes. So, it's like... Now I do. Yeah, but with Desiigner, he does a great emulation of Future.

He be lying if he saying it's not Future. That's not even a challenge to him, but just style influences. It'd be like me saying, yo, I never listened to Cube. Get the fuck out of here.

The time you give me, you know. This little kid grew up on Ice Cube. So with that, I knew it wasn't Future, but I knew Future had become the most powerful force in rap. The time I heard that record, I was just like, oh, it's out of here. He the one.

And you knew from the minute you heard it that that wasn't from him? Yeah, I knew that one, Sean. It wasn't from him? It ain't knew that one shot It wasn't from you? It ain't shot, it got that will It ain't shot It got that will for it But why? No, but I remember because we were talking about it

It wasn't a vernacular? It was funny to me because basically Y'all didn't even big me up Do y'all see how I'm pouring this shit? Yeah, y'all doing it like this You fucked up the first one What, what? Yeah

That's cause, that's cause Kelly Mike is drunk already He ain't till his glass. Look at that. We got it. Oh, look, that was my fault. Now that was my fault. What do you call that again?

What do you call that? This is pissing. Pissing. You got to do it like this. Pissing. This is how they do it in France. Yes, we. Yeah.

And it's a towel. And it's a towel. That's what I'm missing. And I knew it was shot up and down in a bad way. I just knew it was like at best I figured somebody from Atlanta had swag. You know what I'm missing. And I knew it wasn't Charlotte, but not in a bad way. I just knew it was like,

at best, I figured somebody from Atlanta had swag. You know what I mean? I was like, okay, Charlotte, you know,

he probably been all right. He got some disciples, somebody really fucked with him. Right. But I knew it wasn't him. He got flavor, man. I'm going to tell you, he got soul.

Future has soul that other artists, not that Desiigner doesn't have. Future is... But Future, you listen to the shit he's saying, it's damn you listen to the shit He's saying It's damn like a blues record

He's a Our generation Teddy Pendergraft Yeah He run He like up there Like I'm I'm not gonna lie

Because a lot of people Don't really listen To Future's words Or Future's You know His harmonies Or whatever But when you listen to that man,

that man is preaching some shit. Yeah, man. And if he don't really drink lean like that, he's really ill. Because he got a whole community. This is real. He got a whole community following him. Like, he made drunk junkies.

You lost me on that one. He did. No, what'd you say? All right. Right now, in the hood, there are people in the hood that say, I'm a junkie. I'm a junkie. Because they drink lean all day. But that's what Future, like, he preached.

He preached to be fucked up every day. Well, he testified. He didn't preach If you listen to his music He's not saying you should do And that's what I mean about blues He said this is what I do What I've done

And to me that's what's always separated Southern hip hop You know what I'm saying What you're hearing is It's gospely a testimonial Because you're claiming it Yourself You ain't even saying applied to nobody else.

And really, if you want to look at lean culture, you got to give it to Houston. But not even on some just tip, but like screw live the lifestyle. You know what I'm saying? When you hear Paul Wall talk about it, he's talking about a lifestyle he's lived. You know what I mean? I went down there when I first went independent. We stayed for a couple months, man. And just I came out that bitch on the other side of Jake.

Myself, because that shit feel good. Opiate don't nothing feel better than heroin. That's why I want to do it. You know what I mean? So, he's doing it, testimonially. Oh, you didn't know about my lean story? Go for it, buddy. Tell us. Coast to coast, where them niggas at? I was on coast to coast talk.

Alright? Coast to coast. We in Houston They bring me to the Lean house nigga In my mind It was a lean house I don't know why It's like a franchise

Welcome to Play It, a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more. Play it at play.it. 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.

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

Come on, come on. It's your next week. Number one rap in the country. Yeah, hip-hop and R&B. Whatever we were saying.

We said number one. Number one. Number one. Y'all know my mama telling her church like she is. That's right. That's right. You know what? And y'all, Real Hip Hop LP, I want you to understand

and acknowledge how much we appreciate you. I want you to understand and acknowledge how much we appreciate you. I want to understand and acknowledge that when you was running around

with Bernie Sanders, I couldn't have been more proud of you. That's the only part of the time I didn't use your number. Like, I was watching you on the campaign trail, and I wanted to call you, but I said, I know I'm a felon. Just in case his phone just tapped, I'm not going to call at this moment.

But I was definitely rooting for you like that. But I was excited because just getting you on the criminal. Yeah. But I was very... I'm trying. We want to get

your rights back, though. I want my rights back. I want you to have them back. Please. Voting, gun ownership, all that. You deserve all that back.

I didn't mean to go on on that shit. Absolutely. Absolutely. But you doing the... Was Bernie supposed to run as a third party?

Ultimately, I think his purpose was to transform the Democratic Party, and I think that started to happen. Because he had a better chance. How did Hillary get picked? Well, we know how she got picked, according to the emails in my name. She didn't get any of those. You know, it looks like from what has been proven to be factual that members of the Democratic National Committee, that they conspired against Bernie Sanders to such

extremes as giving her questions in advance and prompting their media agents to downplay Bernie to the tune of Trump getting 80% more viewership because they pushed him and Cruz early because they thought that was a ridiculous vote. So I would just say, Americans, if you're going to be angry about something, make sure you're angry about everything.

You know, don't just be angry that your child stole. Be angry your child lied to you, stole, and is a thief. You know, I co-wrote all the Trump speeches. Yeah, I'm with you. Shit, he was talking about that. You know, Trump is doing, he Trump's speeches. Yeah. I'm with you. Shit, he was talking about that. You know, Trump is doing, he's doing drunk facts now.

He's doing drunk facts. Yeah. It's about to be an interesting place. Yeah. Oh, man. Y'all about to see all the Americans

in the state for the next. We don't smoke cigarettes in here, though, right? No, we can't smoke cigarettes. No, we can't smoke cigarettes. We can take a cigarette break, though. Let's just wait for it.

You know why? Because no more album in the country. Are we done? Are we done? Are we done? Let's just wait for it. You know why? You have no more album in the country. Tiger Moon time? Tiger Moon time? What the fuck is that? I'm in. I'm in.

What is it? Hold on, hold on. I know about this shit. Hold on, hold on. He's from New York. You can't get nothing over him. This is Tiger Moon. This is going on.

This is my last year. No, I know about this shit from your show. I don't know about it from your show. All right. Yeah, it's terrible. Oh. Yeah, it is. This is nothing to brag about. Why don't you this shit from your show. I don't know about it from your show. Yeah, it's terrible. Why would you want to do this? You the person that called and told me how to juice and shit. Why would you do this to me?

No, this is herbs. This is actually herbs. Don't take it. Don't take it. Listen, if you actually on a diet and you like trying to do shit, this is actually the only alcohol that won't affect you. You wasn't supposed to smell it. Don't smell it.

This shit smell like cask oil. Don't fuck with your smell it. Don't smell it. This shit smell like cask oil. Don't fuck with your whole life. This is for your number one album in the world. This is how you do it. Listen. Take out your glasses. Ah-da. Ah-da.

Ah-da. Ah-da. Oh. Ah-da. Oh. Oh, my God. Let it, let it, Let it settle. Let it settle.

Do you see my friend? This shit tastes like a Timberland, man. Look at your fist nipples out. This shit tastes like y'all. Bring them out. Bring them out. We all represent for brotherhood. Oh shit.

Hold up. I're gonna grab some of this shit. I still taste it in place of this shit. Oh yeah, yeah. I just taste it in your chest. Wait until you take a shit. What the fuck? What the fuck is that flavor? It's shoe.

It's a whole ton of these shoes. It's an old Chinese shoe. Nigga, you drinkin' shoe, nigga. This is the bottom of a Timberland loafers. You know what I mean? After walking the Great Wall of China. Y'all know the Timberland loafers we wear in Florida and Georgia. I never see New York niggas in.

Like, this is the bottom of one of them. This is the drink when you get, when you got the number one album in the country, God damn. Make some noise! I'm starting to regret it. You know, the last time I saw you, we were at Roscoe's across the street. Across the street.

Smoking dope and drinking champagne in the open. Across the street from Roscoe's. Which is why I love you. We were so distracted. Yeah, yeah. You were there. I was there. No, you were at the hotel though

After you bastards who want to know Who see me suffering under Josh Spice In the gym every fucking morning Nori is the dude that hit me up Like, yo, you're fat This is how you're going to lose some weight Eat vegetables, juice, and run and walk That's right

Nori is, I fuck with you for that My wife loves you for it I definitely love your wife as well. Them niggas really all like partners. Him and my wife. You know what it is? We have to continue to sustain our legends. We got to be here.

In our category. And now, again, this is nothing racial. I think hip-hop should be a race. I feel you. Like 100% honesty Because it unifies Think about it There could be a person who maybe don't like black people

Or maybe don't like white people But guess what he like hip hop So that makes him in my fraternity I agree I look at it like it is a fraternity I look at it as my fraternity And if you look at it like it is a fraternity. You know what I'm saying? I look at it as my fraternity. And if you look at it, if you always see a drug dealer from the hood, they'll say, well, my lawyer know the judge. Yeah.

Because you know why? They were in the same fraternity. Absolutely. But why we can't have our same fraternity? Absolutely. Why you can't be 65 years old and say, you know what? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's my nigga. Absolutely. Why you can't be 65 years old and say, you know what? Oh, Kelly White? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's my nigga. Absolutely.

My grandchildren play with your grandchildren. Absolutely. Because the thing is, if we don't sustain this culture, and it's not a race thing. Here's the biggest part about it. It's not a race thing. It's a cultural thing. Absolutely. And we all believe in the same culture. If you all love hip-hop, that's why I think it should be a hip-hop flag.

I think it should be hip-hop insurance. I think it should be hip-hop benefits. Like a SAG for hip-hop. I mean, I thought about it real long and hard. And the only other business that don't have this type of insurance, don't have this, is boxing. The most brutal sport in life. This is a sport where you go in and you can die. Like hip-hop.

Like hip-hop. But you go in and literally die. Yeah, disposable, real quick. And you're not protected. Why can't we as smart individuals, individualized, I mean, excuse me, unified. Absolutely. David Banner. Okay, David Banner, you in excuse me, unified. Absolutely. David Banner. Okay, David Banner, you in charge of the funds.

Absolutely. You in charge. All right, kill a mic. You know, boom, boom, boom. Okay, LP, EFN. And we all, all right, cool. Everybody making $50,000 a month. We don't want your $50,000 a month.

Take $1,500 of that. Put it to the side. So when a person, like a random person, just name an artist. Cassidy. Got you. Cassidy gets in a car crash. I got you. We handle that.

His mama don't got to worry about that. Am I bugging? Nah, I think it's possible. All really you're saying is alternative streams of revenue and business. So when he says. Alternative facts. No, not alternative. It's clear. All really you're saying is alternative streams of revenue and business. Alternative facts. No, not alternative facts. It's clear.

I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, right? Bingo, Atlanta. Straight up. A guy named Alonzo Herndon who started a barbershop with all black guys cutting, who would only service white men, white businessmen in Atlanta. He learned some shit listening in the barbershop. Then he learned that white people got buried by insurance. And you paid into an insurance every time you died.

You'd have a few thousand dollars to bury you or whatnot because you at least want your person to go on respectfully and shit. And he's like, well, damn, the black community don't have that. So he went to one of the white companies of course and got bonded. Like, hey, I want to bring you this much business. And he became the

largest minority insurer in the South. They had an Atlanta-like building. It was on Auburn Avenue. He was a very big reason Atlanta's such a business capital now and black people in Atlanta had. So absolutely, hip-hop can do the same thing. I started last year, and I want you all to check me out. You know I ain't smoking a blunt.

Last year, I did the bank Black, Bank Small, Bank Local. So, of course, because America's assholes and everybody just want to argue about race, everybody either heard— Tell us the Cuban banks in Miami, B. I don't know the Cuban banks, but I know it's a goddamn lot of them. There's a new bank over there every time I come. There are. One in United. One in United is the one. I'm going to make it a pot.

Thank you. The reason I said Bank Black, Bank small, bank local, for black people, you need to be able to bank with the institution that's directly reflective of your community, right? So you can bank with a place. Let's kill them by giving us that political status. Let's make some more for you. Let's make some more for this all day. God damn it.

Let's go. This is beyond politics, though. This is like our Asian brothers and sisters. They vote less than anybody, yet they have higher political influence than anybody in this room because they put their money behind candidates and causes. So, look, you got One United in Miami. You got Citizens Trust in Atlanta. You got Industrial Bank up in D.C.

These are black banks. Yeah, these are black banks, right? So you get your community to shift the money, not all of it. Just take a couple hundred dollars A couple thousand dollars Put it into the bank Start a savings or credit line And buy some stock in that bank So if you got a couple grand

Now last year was just put some money in the bank Because what I wanted us to learn how to do Was use our money So put some money in the bank Get a debit card Get a credit card Learn how to build your credit Learn how to save money

Save one dollar on every ten dollars you make You make a thousand dollars save a card, learn how to build your credit, learn how to save money. Save $1 on every $10 you make. You make $1,000, I'll save $100, right? You know how to do that. So, Citizen Trust actually started another card to help people with a smudge on their credit repair it off. So, bank black, bank small, bank local. So, even if you're black and ain't no black banks, get the community to go to one bank, one small

bank, and say, we're going to only bank with you, but we're going to bank with you at lower cost, at lower ATM fees, shit like that. So the reason you do that is first of all... You can negotiate that? Absolutely you can. If you go as a group, if you go by your goddamn cell, they're going to laugh you out the door. So you do that, that happens,

you get a little stronger individually. Individually you got to get strong first. If I don't get my fat ass in the gym, I can't jump around on stage and inspire nobody else. So get yourself in shape individually with your money. Then you get the community around it. So whether it's a black bank or a small bank y'all all bank with, you do that banking there. Then

you start to challenge for small business loans directly for it. So this little store could be a coffee shop. It could be this store. It could be something else. Why do we have to always go to Starbucks or something else? You don't have to. If you get the loan, and if you're in church, tell your church we want to see two business plans come of our

congregation or we're not tithing for this year. But how do we make black banks popular? I'm about to tell you. Rappers and athletes need to move money to black banks in the immediate. Citizens Trust has a 95-year great record. Does Killer Mike and Nori need to shoot

videos in Citizen Trust? I think we need to put it in our reps. I sold us and I got a million through that shit in Citizen Trust. Citizen Trust. There's a one United in Miami. There's a Citizen Trust in Miami. The dudes that did our banner,

IPD, they're banking. Industrial, mechanics, and farmers. Or small and local. Even if you can't go black. If you go small, go local. Get with one of the smaller banks. Elanime also do our accounting with a small bank. They waive our fees.

We don't get the same fees as other people. But it's because our accounting firm takes all of their business there. So, you know, I'm just simply saying, you know, hip-hop can do anything We want to do If we focus on us If we say

I like Givenchy I like Louis I like all that shit My wife got so many purses But I miss the days Of Maurice Malone Clark and I The food booth

You know I'm just saying Get a homie up the block Who printing t-shirts Give him a shot Well we a new food booth Digital Yeah Cause we gonna hire You know you gonna hire people That you're not afraid of You know what I mean Willie Esco is like me up the block who printing t-shirts give them a shot yeah cuz we don't hire

you know you gonna hire people you're not afraid of you know I mean Willie Esco is like a home actually invest in politics and what I mean yes yes like I feel like yes I feel like Killer Mike should be mayor of Atlanta. Thank you. Exactly. T.I. should be governor of Atlanta. Oh, Tip would make such a great governor. He shut me down.

We had Tip on the show and Tip said, Luke's jumping into politics. But this is... Hold up. The second that he becomes mayor, though, is the day that I move to Atlanta. Yeah, he's a real estate developer. Alan Durie can show up in big time.

But L.P., hear me out, L.P., right? How much can we complain if we're in a position, like, it's like you're watching a porno flick, right? And if you watch a porno flick, you just got to watch it because you're watching a porno flick, right? And if you watch a porno flick, you just got to watch it because you're watching it on tape. But if you're watching a porno flick happen and you're like, he's not doing it right,

I could do it better. And you could actually jump in. That's real shit. So why not? Why? You could actually jump in and be like, you know what? Relax, homie.

I got it from here. I got it. You can jump in. And the thing about it is, hip-hop, that's how hip-hop is right now. We're watching a porno flick, and we can actually say, relax. Our turn.

We're going to throw some hot sauce in the door. I think we got hip-hop in politics. I think we need to put some hip-hop money behind it. You don't think Obama might be a direct product of hip-hop? Let's not talk about former President Obama yet. Not yet? Not yet. I want to say you have people like Senator Nina Turner, who's a representative.

She was out of Ohio. Actually, I don't think she holds office anymore, but she was a surrogate for Sanders. She is one of the more powerful women I've't think she holds office anymore, but she was a surrogate for Sanders. She is one of the more powerful women I've seen in politics since Shirley Chisholm. You know what I mean? She is absolutely powerful. She's young. She gets it.

She's young enough to understand, old enough to really get it. We should be sending her money for her next campaign already. You know, if you are not happy with Cory Booker right now, you're looking for a black Democrat to support, Nina Turner should be that person. So what hip-hop should be doing is like they did in the 90s, supporting politicians who support us. Barbara Jordan, Maxine Waters. We should be supporting those politicians

because that is hip-hop. If you look at Mayor Bowser up in D.C., black woman, Mayor of D.C. met with me and L.P. last week just to talk for an hour with L.P. and I about how to attract the music industry to D.C. And not just money, the culture. She wants you to open studios. Yeah, talk to L.P.

Yeah, L.P. I mean, it's weird. It's cool. It's interesting. It's strange. It's different. But the mayor is asking to meet with us and just to talk about the arts and to talk about how to attract arts into the city and to grow the economy. We should be supporting her.

Hip-hop should be putting their money. Some of our bottle money should go to local politics. Now, I'm not saying send your money to the big politics. But if your kid goes to public school and you bought a bottle in the last year, yet you've not went to any PTA meeting or donated or picked a candidate you like, you're slipping, cuz. All y'all see is me. You're shaming me, y'all. You're shaming everybody else. Yeah, I'm just like,

man, we sit over here fucking up, too. As we are drunk off our asses. One of my kids' teachers is going to show him, like, hey, man, look at that. Get out of the door. That's a beautiful thing. One of my kids' teachers is going to show him. Hey, man, look at that. Get out of the door. You ain't going to. No, no. That's a beautiful thing.

Yeah. Respect. Because you know why? We celebrate. We give our legends flowers when they can smell them. My grandma said, give them flowers. We give them trees when they can. Talk to the man. Let me see a lighter.

Oh, a lighter. Yeah. You want another? Should I take a bone? I feel like you want another. Yeah, no. We're ready for another. Let's go.

No, no, no. Let's do it. No, no, we're ready for another Shot of Taker Bone. Let's go. No, no, no, let's do it. No, no, no, we're totally ready. Let's go. Yeah, Frank, congratulations, brother. Thank you, man. I don't know what you're congratulating me for.

I don't know. Hey, man, as a Capone and Norrie fan, man, thank you, man, like, for forever. For keeping hip-hop alive? Absolutely. For keeping hip-hop alive.

You know what? For keeping truth in hip-hop. Truth in hip-hop. Because I think when we say real hip hop All we really saying is Some true shit I like the fantasy shit

That's cool and shit I like the fantasy shit But man it's something about the truth Cause I really like getting my business bad and bullshit I love it Fucking a coke with a Uzi But before her Before her you know you rolling with some

You know rough and dusty You know she ain't musty You know you just You trying to get some money man Salute Yo LP Salute Salute Salute Salute Salute Salute Musti you know you

Be a fraternity now shoe level They really taste like a shoe don't know Yeah, I love it because he called it the sick. Oh, North. Yo, I love how... In Spanish, we call it secote. Secote. Secote is dirty socks. It tastes like dirty sock water. I love how everybody has a different description of Tiger Ball. I feel like I've been sexually assaulted by the... This shit tastes like iron, now, right?

Tiger Ball is death. Yeah, it's death. So now, hip hop. This shit is the fucked up thing is that it gets worse as it goes on after you do it. Oh, yeah, it's horrible. Hip hop. North. Right now, do y'all realize... This shit is the fucked up thing is that it gets worse as it goes on. Oh, yeah, it's horrible. Hip-hop. Right now. Do y'all realize that y'all might be the new version of OutKast?

That's a big, I don't even, I don't even, that's a long shit. I ain't taking my shirt off in no picture. Yeah, we got to do a few more crunches. It's the new version. Yeah, that's amazing. This version has a belly. That's the best compliment I've ever received. I mean, in my opinion, listen, let me give it to you.

Thank you. A lot of times when something that's so great, we look at it, and then we say, that shit is great. Then we say, we want the new version of it. But the new version of it be the total opposite of it. We can never accept it. Just like designer just might be the answer to future. But we can't see that now. But what I'm trying to tell you is We've been looking and searching

For the new OutKast Because OutKast set Such a stand On the game You being a direct Dungeon family member Direct, beefy And all that

And it turned out And it turned around And it turned around And I don't think that you realize That you're the 2017 Version Of OutKast That's such a humbling compliment Thank you man

If we could get there If we could mean as much as they meant to us To somebody then that would be amazing That's the most amazing. For us, it's basically like to me, Outkast is always going to be the only Outkast. I'm not saying y'all Outkast. We get what you're saying.

I know what you're saying. We strive for that. We look at them like an example of something that you can do with a group. I think that they hit the apex of music. What did Puffy say when he was here? He said it was disruptive. can do with a group. Absolutely. And that's, I think that they hit the apex of music, really, you know,

and there's a lot. What did Puffy say when he was here? He said, it was disruptive. Yeah. No, no. What's it? Well, that's what they use

in technology. I said, what did you say, what did you feel about Big? And he said, Big was so disruptive. Was that the word? I don't know.

It's a word like that. In technology, they use it a lot It's disrupted what industry oh, yeah Fun yeah, absolutely you guys That's a compliment In the most complimentary It's like When I look at you guys There's no way I can say you guys are rap Like y'all I literally am big in security

You look big in raw Yeah We got the memes that go around People do that Relax But What I'm trying to tell you is that's what OutKast was, man. OutKast was the most disruptive thing. Like, when I found out that Pop Daddy directed their first video.

Yeah, we didn't know that. I was like, what the fuck? It don't work. But yet and still Which one was that? The first Yeah, the first video you ever seen Outcasting

Yeah, I like that video Puff called Run the Jewels What? Wait, wait, explain this, please Some people who follow Killer Mike May remember me running around with Puff for like a year. He and Big Boy were trying to broker a deal where essentially Purple Ribbon would have gave me to Bad Boy, and I would have been a Bad Boy artist.

When I went in, Puff played... I do remember this. Go ahead. Yeah, Puff played like eight records. Half the records were the aspirational records where I can rap. I can rap like pretty much anything that's out. Like I rap, I can rap. I got a few different styles.

You know you can rap. Half of it was. Half of it is whatever was going on in rap. Great records or whatever was going on in good records. And the other half were records that from an aspirational standpoint sounded like what me and L ended up pointing. Not the perfect version, not the right version,

but they were already in the ballpark of what Company Flow was doing and what early Wu-Tang sounded like. That kind of bomb squad type shit. It was that. And Puff said, yo, he said, it's two different youths man Both of them dope

I mean I could do something with both And he heard his record It was either Bad Day Worst Day or like It was one of the Records I released during the play series It was like Burn or something he said but this record He said you give me this He said man

I make you motherfucking And he just started naming these revolutionary type Raps in it And when I finally got in the room And heard L's beats It hit me what I was supposed to be You know it's a lot of different Noriegas you're not the same person

Yeah I'm 7 dip in this You're 17 You know what I mean He was like this is what you should be doing not the same person. Yeah, I'm seven-dipping it. Yeah, you're your father, husband, you know what I mean? Relax. He was like, this is what you should be doing. And it just took me that long to find the perfect producer and partner to be doing it with.

But that's why I've never doubted his genius. And he shitted on me the next three years. Not in the bad way, just like every time. Like, yo, you supposed to fucking sign it. Finally, I just, at Lennox, just spazzed. Like, what the fuck, man? How come you make me sign a nigga? Boy, we'll sign the papers, man. What the fuck? And he was just, at Lennox, just spazzed. Like, what the fuck, man? How come you make me sign a nigga big boy with a sign of bankers, man? What the fuck?

And he was like, all right, baby, it's all good. I see why he is him, though. He really knows it. And that nigga gave me one of the most crazy ass speeches that scared me.

I thought it was the devil for like five minutes. Let's talk about that. Oh, this nigga, right? This nigga said, this nigga said, yo, man, you got to get your boy big. He was walking. He said, you got to get this nigga signed a contract, mate. That's what this nigga, right? This nigga said, this nigga said, yo, man, you got to get your boy big.

He was walking. He said, you got to get this nigga signed a contract, mate. That's what this nigga doing. They say, man, this nigga want a couple hundred thousand. He said, we going to make that back, baby.

We going to make that. He said, he said, I can see that. He said, look, we get the leather jackets. We get the leather jackets. We start, we start vibing. He said, I see the shit.

He said, now we say, he said, we jumping out of cars. We jumping out of trucks. We jumping off planes. He said, he said, I ain't never did this shit, we jumping out of cars. We jumping out of trucks. We jumping off planes. He said, I ain't never did this shit, but I know y'all South niggas. We go get the bad boy James. Look, so I'm sitting there,

and I got the froze face, and the nigga look me dead in the eye and said, yeah, you like that dog shit. Hey, look, I killed the face nigga with my mind. I was like, yeah. So hey, man, I tell you, nigga, man, if you side with Puff or you get mad later, you can't say it was by choice, not for his back. He don't twist your arm, man. That nigga can sell a goddamn water to a whale, man.

That's a fact. The one thing they say about Puff, they say if you work for Puff And you survive They give you a job anywhere Yeah he's an amazing human being I fuck with him like you've never met a more motivated motherfucker I'm not gonna lie I'm gonna be honest with you The other day It's real shit We dropped an episode

Puff episode And we charted In TV world but that's cool. I wanted to char. We charred that. Podcast. Podcast. I said that nigga.

I said, man, we ain't number one right now. And he said, no, because our other episode was number one. Just relax. But I said, nigga, this is Puff Daddy's episode. You're supposed to be charred number one this relax you're supposed to be charred you're nervous that's a you forgot what it feels like maybe I didn't say that guys fantasy says no facts like that that's my. But that's how much. Something strong. Look, I'm so competitive.

That's how much y'all got. That's what New York, man. That's why y'all so good for the game. That's why I have become such a better rapper. Like, I've always been a dope-ass rapper. But the discipline. Hey, nigga, I ain't shaming you. You know what I mean?

You know what I mean, nigga? Don't be shamed. I'm telling you, man, for real. I ain't never meet no bitch. I dated Sid. I ain't, nigga, I ain't shying, you know what I mean? You know what I mean, nigga? Don't be shying. I'm telling you, man, for real. I ain't never meet no bitch. I dated Sid, I disappointed her,

so have some nuts about your shit. I'm a country nigga. You know what I mean? But I love it, man, because his want to shit on motherfuckers

and show them I got the discipline. I have what it takes. Y'all a special reason. I used to wake up in the morning just to beat my son to the bathroom. But now, I just bought a tape. Y'all a special reason. I used to wake up in the morning just to beat my son to the bathroom. But now I just bought a dog.

Where's Mike at? Where's Mike at? What kind of dog I got, Mike? I got a Yorkie now. How you got the drug to the Spanish dog? So I wake up at 5.30 in the morning. I'm so competitive that I want to wake up before the dog. The dog?

I'm disrespectful. It can't wake up before me. Listen, I always woke up before my whole household. Now the dog trying to wake up at 5. You're going to wake up. Yo, you're waking up like, hold up, you up? Yo, get up. I beat you today. You, hold up. You up?

Yo, get up. I beat you today. You ever get jealous of the dog? No, it's three days. I've been jealous already because he woke up before me. And I don't like that's how competitive I am. Like me, when I get something, I just want to keep working at it. I want to drill it.

I don't ever want to celebrate it. Celebrate my success. I want to live my success. Does that make sense? That makes a lot of sense. Because I had success 17 times. So it's not that. But the thing is, I understand that things go away. Like, Drink Chance Park had all my friends.

All my friends. Who is my real friends In hip hop I tell them Hurry up and come Do Drink Chance The reason why I tell them Hurry up and do Do Drink Chance

Not because I don't think We're gonna be As talented We'll be as talented Because we're unscripted Yeah We'll be as talented For the rest of our life

But at some point Somebody gonna say Fuck him Yeah Fuck these niggas That's what the New Yorker Understand though man Y'all get it

So until then I want all my friends I want to embrace All my friends I want to embrace Real hip hop Thank you I want to embrace people

And say you know what Give me your flowers Even though I'm not Giving you real flowers But I'm gonna give you A shot And I want to embrace people and say, you know what? Give your flowers. Even though I'm not giving you real flowers, but I'm going to give you a shot. And I want to continue to salute our people because why don't we salute our people? We are the only culture. And I'm not saying race. I'm saying, I even see Frankie Beverly and Maze and all these people.

They touring and all these people, they touring, and all this crazy shit. Why don't we stick together the older we get? Like, everybody wanted Jay-Z to be out of here. Every time Jay-Z do a new deal, I text this nigga, and I'm like, congratulations. Thank you for continuing to do what you do.

And he's 47 or whatever age he is. I'm 39. I ain't even reached 40 yet. But they told me I was old five years ago. Five years ago they said it was over for me. But you knew it wasn't. This is the only culture. But you knew it wasn't.

No, I know it. I love my haters. It's a difference. A lot of people, I love my haters. I invite my haters to's a difference A lot of people I love my haters I invite my haters To coffee To coffee Let's jump in the lake

Even though I don't drink coffee To CrossFit Oh no To CrossFit But What if one says I'm different My haters got my phone number

You need me in the box On Wednesday Come on Let's all Work out together Burpees till death Burpee box juice Yeah man

Oh fuck y'all Spikes It's a friendly way to be But why is our culture The first people To kick our people out And I'm not saying race This got nothing to do with race

This got something to do I think that's changing though man It's definitely changing I believe I believe me and my partner with the tight running shoe shirt on. See what I did for y'all? See what I did for y'all?

Do you know he had to breathe different when he walked in? He was like that. Like, usually, he's better. He can't do that. He feels great. Thank you. He had to breathe different. If it's going to be tight, it may as well feel good, you know?

It's very tight. But why in our society, our culture, and I mean even in the hood. That's changing. If you think about it, if you think about it even in the hood, the OGs still got a smackin' nigga to be an OG. I was watching Carlitos while you're thinking about that. the hood, the OGs. Still got a smacking nigga to be an OG. I was watching Carlitos while you're thinking about that. Get Carlitos on.

And they not shot. They wasn't keeping it up. Let me get a lighter, God damn it. I think hip-hop, though, has just got to the point where we get legacies. We get it. We didn't get it because like boxing, man, you're just trying to make it out of somewhere.

Should hip-hop be categorized like real hip-hop? Nah, it's hip-hop. It's all hip-hop. It's all hip-hop. It's style. If you look at martial arts, you can practice jiu-jitsu, you can practice ninjutsu, you can practice taikido, you can practice

all these things, but it's all from the same place of wanting to improve yourself. Like, look, now my trainer is actually a teacher. He's like an instructor. So it's like our styles are different, but it's a yin and a yang. They balance each other so well. I feel they made the perfect rap group. I think that on some hip some On some hip hop shit We just got to the point

Where we accept Style So Kendrick Lamar's First record To me Stylistically Embodied Outkast Equimini

You saw the heavy Fluence Big Boy does not Get his credit But let me say Today If you love Lil Wayne and

Kendrick Lamar You love Big Boy Rhyme patterns I don't give a Foo What you say What you say What you say If you love Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar, you love big boy rhyme patterns. I don't give a fuck. Let's you say. If you love Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne's rhyme patterns, when they go into this weird, freaky

double time, that is directly out of the first two outcasts. And it's such a beautiful influence. If you're listening to Killer Mike, stylistically, you're listening to influences of Ice Cube, Scarface, you know what I'm saying, Storytelling Ability Slick Rick, Nas, and I think That we've just gotten to the point where

My son's 22, I used to, because I had a child When I was a child, but I used to ride around with him In a fucking 95 Impala Beating Capone and Noriega Beating AZ, I can sing you that verse Beating this shit to I said, what you want for your 22nd birthday? I just want the AZ door dial.

What? Yeah, because it's just a style to him. He doesn't see the East versus South. He doesn't see that AZ had to be contrasted against a Southern group. So he likes all that shit. So as he starts to fucking rap and produce that shit, it all

influences him. So for me, I'm happy that we're in an age now where style, because now what I hope to see in my lifetime is a young act doing a huge stadium world tour and the act that they look up to opening for them, much like the Rolling Stones did Muddy Waters. We introduce Muddy Waters to the world. Yo, thank you so much.

Let's make some noise back out there. This is what I'm saying with hip-hop. That's the thing is, in hip-hop, like, when you hit 40, I'm 39 years old, right? I'll be 40 this year. Let me see a lot of your handsome back. Okay, all right, good. Thanks so much. I'm gonna be 40 this year. But in hip-hop, when you get to a certain age, they want to kick you out. They want to say, but why in rock and roll, these guys

look exactly the same. That's what they supposedly want to do. But that's what they supposedly want to do. You got to blame the old niggas for not doing hip-hop no more. No, the old niggas for getting old and uncool. Yeah, but I still buy music. That's what I'm saying. I don and uncool. Yeah, like, I still buy music. Like, that's what I'm saying.

I don't get cool. Yeah, so you got to buy music. Yeah, like, my thing is, man, when you come to one of the juice shows, you see kids as young as 18, niggas as old as 50. But listen, wait, wait, wait.

Y'all embody, I don't believe in this ageism shit. Nah. Because y'all embody that. What y'all doing right now, like what you said, when you went

and y'all were in separate sets and then run the duels, you had a young crowd or whoever. Yeah. That to me, I don't give a fuck

about ageism. Whatever age, be it art. You recreate yourself, you put yourself out and it's gonna make sense to somebody. Yeah, but it's still

not something that has been done that much in hip hop music. No, hip hop is lacking that. That's what I'm saying. But we shouldn't embrace that.

Agreed, but I think we're only 43 lacking that. That's what I'm saying. But we shouldn't break that. Agreed, but I think... Because we're growing older. We're only 43 years old. Here's what I think about that. What I think is that there's... I think that there's better and better music being made by people who are close to their 40s and in their 40s now.

Because you have more experience. You have more... I mean, look, you know, you have one task. And the task is you don't want to become boring. You don't want to not relate to people who are listening to your music. And if you stay sharp, you're not going to do that.

But also, there's an experience that comes. The one thing that's cool about getting older is that you just... I love LP. Every two passes, he takes one. Yeah. I don't really smoke. If I take it back, and then I pass it to him,

he'll be like, no. And then I smoke it for like two'll be like nah And then I smoke it For like two shits He must have a science He has a He believes in science You broke my pattern You broke my code

Yeah I'll get to you I'm sorry You're good I'm so sorry I beat you You're a strong adversary No I'm

You know I don't know What the fuck I'm saying I'm just saying I'm just saying If there is something to be said If you're a little bit older That's it You have a little bit more Fucking style And I don't think what the fuck I'm saying. I'm just saying that there is something to be said if you're a little bit older. That's it. You have a little bit more fucking style.

And I don't think... There's something there. At an older age, we don't have to be into... The problem is just getting the music, motherfucker. Don't be like... I'm saying, do you? Do you?

I remember when, nigga, did you buy Faith's last album? Exactly. It was jamming like a motherfucker. And the same man who works on Kanye's record works on Faith's record. You know what I'm saying? So if you like Mike D, you stupid fuck,

go buy the music and shut the fuck up. Stop tricking all your money at the Young People Club and put that shit in your car and ride around and smoke some dope, you and your young broad. That's what the real niggas I know who still will pull up on you.

and I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.

I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team.

I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team.

I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team.

I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team. I'm on your team.

I'm on your team. I'm on the show. I appreciate it. That is terrible. Damn. What's that? I don't know why y'all drink that. Everything goes for that.

You're drinking fucking deaf herbs. It's a Chinese secret. You're drinking goddamn Chinese herb Death herbs. You can't talk about that major Chinese secret. You know what, when you're drinking goddamn Chinese herb murder. That shit looked like

bad maple syrup. So how did Run the Jewels wind up on Massapelle? Well, not anymore. Not anymore. The food goes one, Massapelle second, and now we're on.

We're Run the Jewels on Run the Jewels. But how did y'all even get on Massapelle? Let's talk about that. That's Nas' label. Do you? Yeah, it's Nas' label. And we all say that when any of you are like, what's up? It's Nas' label, but also.

I'm taking it away from you. Give it to LB. What's that? Water. No whore. Hydration. Okay, thank you. We got another one away from you. Give it to LP. What's that? Water. The whore hydration. Okay, thank you. I got another one coming for you. No problem.

Yeah, we knew the people there from that label, though. That label used to be Decon. They used to put a bunch of shit out. They worked with Alchemist. They put a bunch of shit out. Is the current label... Decon, no. No, before Mass Appeal.

A lot of the guys from Decon went and they merged with Mass Appeal and partnered with Nas. So we knew them from previous shit because we had deaf jokes. And we worked with them in different stuff and we were peers to some degree. And so that's how we knew them. And, you know, that was Run the Jewels too. I mean, we kind of felt like every label that we worked with, it was just right at the time. And we always kept the commitment incredibly minimal. And we just moved on. So one album deals.

One album deals. And we still partner with them on some film stuff. Yeah, we're doing different shit. Well, Mass Appeal is the same thing. We moved on. We moved it to just basically there is no label. It's just our management and a group of people that we hired to do what a label could do. But it's a smaller version of it

But it's really directly independent And I want to say We really still fuck with Peter and Nas They ran A1 shit with us And I appreciate it Because a lot of times When you see people deal with a label Not deal with a label

There's feelings and issues But there's not I still talk to both of them on the regular We're still doing things together I've actually befriended Nas and Peter It's crazy because Doing business in the way

That we've done business On a smaller scale More independent scale Has given me faith In the music industry again Where I had lost it Because it kind of became Like it felt like a

A game of everybody Trying to finesse everyone Versus people just doing Square business You know what I mean So I want to thank People in Oz Because they did

Such square business It never felt Fucked up You know And I love it For that Definitely Yo y'all Haitian people

Gotta relax You Haitian too right Apparently we're doing Another shot of Tiger Bone I can tell you Yeah we're doing Another shot of Tiger Bone Yeah I can't.
