And I just act like it's the radio.
This guy has been doing it for years My very first tour

He brought me to the room
Because he knew I can only smoke weed
And he said little nigga come to the room
And let's smoke some marijuana

Reshaping Harlem

But this is not Harlem World
This is a new era
The new millennium Harlem

His father was a close friend of mine

That he's a star now
Because I wish his father
Was alive to see his daughter
We got A$AP Ferg in the motherfucking building.
Hold on.
We ain't finished.
We got Mr. Capico himself.
Mr. Tony Toka, a guy who I've seen him in Dominican Republic,
and we've had wonderful nights.
That's all you got to say?
No, no.
I mean, you know, his accolades is crazy.
He's been on Tommy Boy.
He's been down since Crazy Legs and, you know, old school to new school.
He's still out, still running.
Filthy MCs.
I've been on like three of them.
God damn it.
Make some noise for Tony Touch in the building.
All right, now my intro wasn't that good because I haven't had a drink.
Let me get a drink.
What am I drinking?
Super sober right now.
What you drinking? You drinking Bel Air? I got? You're super sober right now. What you drinking?
You drinking Bel-Air?
I got the beat.
You got it.
Now, that's Kika Pree, y'all.

Now, are you signed to Bel-Air or no?
Negative.

I drank that when I'm doing the Periscope shows.
I've been drinking it for a while.
You want some rosé?
I'm going to take some Ciroc.
Oh, Ciroc.
Okay, I'm just going to go rosé.
I'm going with the Ciroc.
Where the regular Ciroc at?
Let's get the regular.
Now, just for y'all that don't know, we celebrate hip-hop on this show, and we celebrate our
legends, you know what I'm saying?
And we celebrate the culture of hip-hop.
So starting with you, Kickapree, I remember back in the days, I was a kid from Queens,
and you had something called Kickapree Slow Jams Or was it Slow Jams Kickapree?
You talking about the mixtapes?
The mixtapes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you know
Until I was 21
That's the only thing I fucked to?
Right
It was Kickapree Slow Jams
That's what I'm worried about
You know, for real
Like, yo, I kid you not
Nah, I said 21
I'm lying
Like, I think
The first time I put on R&B
Was with my wife
Like, and I was like 30 fucking 5 with my wife. And I was like 35 or 30.
Yeah, I was like 31.
But for real, you fucked up my whole childhood.
I fucked a kick.
Slow jam takes.
Did you know that?
Did you know that?
You know there's got to be like 6 million other people like me.
For sure, for sure.
Yeah, I've heard that a lot.
I've heard that a lot.
But, you know, that all came from the stardom of the hip-hop tapes,
the street tapes I was making.
You know, when I came out, I wanted to have different colors
and different joints.
So Slow Tape was just one of those joints I was making
and it just popped off for me.
Same thing like No Panty Sundays right now.
No Panty Sundays, man, on Periscope.
On Periscope, on IG Live, Sunday night.
Was it right on the Saratgo?
Okay, here we go.
But that's not the water.
Yeah, so now, kid, so back in the days,
were you considered the first mixtape DJ?
No, not at all.
Okay, who was?
Well, there was Hollywood before me.
There was Brucey B.
There was Starchild.
There was Lovebug Starsky.
But when I came on the scene, I made it national.
I made it big.
I did it different.
I put aggression to it, and I wanted to be looked at as an artist,
not somebody just playing records.
So that's why when I got on the stages.
Those are the first ones I heard down here in Miami.
When I got on the stages next to that platinum artist,
I'm going to leave that scar in that coliseum, you know,
just like that platinum artist is, maybe even better. Because that's how I'm going to leave that scar In that coliseum You know just like That platinum artist
Is maybe even better
Because that's how
I wanted to be looked at
I didn't want to be looked at
As somebody that was
Just playing records
You know what I'm saying
And you know
And that's how
All the money came up
That's how
You know everything
Started getting bigger
You know the DJ
Became a business now
Made it a business
It wasn't no more
You behind the group
It wasn't no more
You had to be behind the group
To be on and get paid
Now you get paid on your own.
You're your own man.
You know what I'm saying?
And you rock out and travel the world.
So that's what it was.
Now, A$AP Ferg.
Yeah, yeah, come on.
You totally took a drink off.
Maybe we're going to take shots too.
Now, who was the first DJ to play an A$AP Ferg record?
Who was the first DJ to break an A$AP Ferg?
Hit the mic right there, Tua.
I want to say Self.
DJ Self.
That was the Self. Yeah to say Self. DJ Self.
DJ Self.
It's so long ago.
I want to say Self. I can name all the early
supporters. How about that?
I want to say Self was
definitely one advocate that
really represented for me.
Then I want to say DJ Enough.
Always Show Me Love.
Carmelo definitely showed me love Show Me Love, Carmelo, Definitely
Show Me Love. Everybody call him Carmelo.
Carmelo.
You know what it is? All black people, too.
I'm thinking some racist shit.
Chance of Carmelo, too.
DJ Carmelo,
Show Me Love, definitely for the Spanish
community.
Flex.
How can I forget Flex?
Definitely.
So, you know, shout out to all of the DJs, like, early on,
and Bebe out there in, what is it, Dallas?
Smokin'? No, I'm straight, bro.
You smoked, though?
Yeah.
Goddamn it.
Yeah.
But I want to say, like, Self was definitely, like, one of them,
the first one.
Well, you guys ASAP Rocky. Well, you guys, ASAP Rocky,
ASAP, well, ASAP, period.
Excuse me. ASAP Ma. ASAP Ma, that's how I
meant it. Excuse me. You guys represent a new
sound of New York, but it's still New York.
But how
do you like face
the criticism when people say,
oh, that don't sound like the custom
New York?
I think we do got certain songs that sound like traditional New York, but I't sound like the custom New York? Oh, I think we do got certain songs
that sound like traditional New York.
But I think, like, once the internet came,
it's almost like you get to hang out everywhere.
So it's like you getting music from kids
that make beats in Japan.
Or we started linking up with kids that was in Texas.
And then, you know, we was traveling.
And Rocky went to a school in Mississippi
and was linking up with different people so I was sounds
Naturally progressed in that way and it was like I said like the internet kind of like
Integrated everything and it made it a melting pot for music
Yeah crew was everywhere y'all have people in Miami to hear Miami definitely shout out to lotto
Asap lotto and Shout out to Lotto, A$AP Lotto, and shout out to DJ Jay Scott.
Wasn't Denzel kind of down with y'all somehow?
Nah, but Denzel is definitely cool.
Like extended family?
He's cool.
He's the homie, yeah.
Y'all totally touched.
Early on, right, being a Puerto Rican and a DJ, DJing,
did that face complications because the traditional DJ was black at that time
I mean you know there from the get know and I don't know a lot of Puerto Rican's
on a scene before me you know we were just talking about a little Louie Vega
before and you know he's one of the first you know doing urban parties in
the city and Capri actually was doing Studio 54 with him back in 87.
Studio 54.
I forgot all about that, but he took me back with that.
But, you know, Louie, you know, Charlie Chase, of course.
Charlie Chase?
Yeah, we had Puerto Rican presence in there, you know.
It wasn't a lot, but, you know.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
But do you feel like it was harder being Puerto Rican, or was it like?
Nah, because, you know, I was playing dance music too and stuff like that.
You know, the dance music.
You're still heavy in that too.
It was like, you know, predominantly Spanish anyway.
So I was in that world as well.
But as far as in the hip hop, you know, not really, man.
I didn't really feel no resistance or any type of way.
I was born in East New York, so I was just around.
It was just part of, you know. That means you got a body. Let's make noise for people in East New I was born in East New York, so I was just around. It was just part of, you know.
That means you got a body.
Let's make noise for people in East New York.
Everybody in East New York got a body.
Even the garbage man in East New York got a body, god damn it.
So, kick a brief, right?
I've been to your parties.
I've been there.
I said, come on, open up that bell there, man.
You ain't going to get away.
You made me cry.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now I'm drunk.
Now I'm drunk.
So, I've been to your parties, Kick It Briefly.
Exactly.
And you really interact with the crowd.
You make sure they participate in.
Is that important?
Because do you get mad when you see a DJ that just play records?
They don't talk to the crowd.
They don't hype it up.
I don't get mad.
I just stay in my lane and do what I do.
But do you judge them?
Come on.
You're a DJ. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, of course you're going to judge anybody that you go and pay. Well, I don't pay mad. I just stay in my lane and do what I do. But do you judge them? Come on. You're a DJ.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, of course you're going to judge anybody that you go and pay.
Well, I don't pay to get in, but when you go to see somebody on the stage,
your whole idea is you want to feel better than you did before you got there,
and that's the job to do.
And a lot of people, sometimes they get stuck and they suffer and they forget that.
They think they're doing the crowd a favor.
But really, when them people stop paying for the tickets,
you're going to see who's really doing the favor.
So my whole thing is
it's not just the crowd, it's
the promoter. You got to make sure the promoter's
happy, such as
let's say when I do a show somewhere
and the promoter lives and does everything
according to my rider, and
something like rain happen and the crowd don't come,
I tell him, yo, go set up another show
and we'll come and do it for free for you, just so
he can get his bread, just so he can never feel like when I'm down, he's going to kick me further.
And a lot of dudes, what they do is I got my bread, I'm here,
and that ain't my problem and all that shit.
But see what happens is this dude had me come back six more times that year.
You see what I'm saying?
He see that.
I got his back no matter what, so I come back six more times that year,
and I ain't got to worry about making a record.
I ain't got to worry about being on TV. I ain't got to worry about being on TV.
I ain't got to worry about being on the radio.
I conquer all that.
Just the name alone, the brand alone keep going because of those things,
because of the respect that you give these promoters in the crowd that come and pay you.
And that's just it, man.
That's why I keep working.
Goddamn it.
Goddamn it.
Let's make some noise.
Let's make some noise for Kiki B being a great nigga.
I'm a good nigga.
Who's drinking?
I am not a great nigga.
Give me another cup.
Give me an ice cream cup.
I'll drink with you.
Can you take a shot?
Nah, let's not about that.
We're going to take a shot.
I got a question for you.
Okay, hold on.
I'm coming right back to you.
Def Comedy Jam.
Where was you at when they first gave you that call?
And what did you think? Because you were the first DJ on Def Comedy Jam, Where was you at when they first gave you that call? And what did you think?
Because you were the first DJ on Def Comedy Jam, correct?
Yeah, I mean, I was the one with them from the start to the time I ended.
End of tour.
I was doing a show, after show, for LL's show.
He was doing The Garden.
And they asked me to do the after party.
I'm shaking this building up.
Make some noise so we can keep frosting on us.
We respect that. Well, anyway, shaking this building up. Make some noise for KKP Frosting on us. We respect that.
Well, anyway,
shaking the building up.
Russell Simmons walk up. Yo, kid.
He see the crowd, you know, losing it.
Yo, kid, what you think about doing a comedy show?
You know? I'm like, comedy show?
What fucking comedy? What do I got to do?
DJ with a comedy show? What the hell?
I was like, wait a minute. This is Russell.
This is HBO. I'm out of questions a minute, this is Russell, this is HBO, who
want to question this shit, let me just go do it. So anyway, we ended up doing it, and
that shit changed my life. I mean, I was popping in the street, but I thought I was popping
in the street, but I wasn't, shit, when I got on that show, I remember the first concert
we did, not the television show, the first one.
It went on the road, I saw you on Miami, I saw you on Miami.
Yeah, the first show we did, I'm behind stage.
It was about maybe 9,000 people in the crowd.
I'm behind stage and the crowd,
the curtain is down and I'm standing
and I'm listening to people clapping.
I ain't really thinking nothing of it. As soon as the crowd, as soon as the thing
opened, these people were screaming.
It was just
like Michael Jackson
or some shit. I didn't know what was going on
I was just screaming
But I'm standing
I never got stage fright
It's a deaf comedy show
But this is the tour
This the tour
And when that happened
I went to go grab the mic
They screaming even more
So now what happened was
I had a 15 minute set
So I had to play records quick
And the more records
Shit I played
Is the more crazy
These people got So I seen what I did In them concerts shit I played, is the more crazy these people got.
So I see what I did
in them concerts
and I applied it to the parties.
And that's when the DJs
seen me doing it in the parties.
Playing the shit quick
and, you know,
freaking it out.
But a lot of times,
a lot of DJs try to do it
and they piss people off.
Because they don't make sense
of what they're doing.
They're just trying to do the shit.
But when I started doing it,
it was a story
I was trying to tell
so it worked.
And I just took it and brought it
to the party and did what I did. Like a number
of other things we could get into and talk about, but
we won't even go there. No, we're going there.
We're going to take some shots. It's crazy. After the shows,
I went to the tour when they came here. It was at the
James L. Knight Center. Do you got
the ticket? Because I know you got the ticket.
You know, I probably do have the ticket.
I probably do have the ticket.
And yo, after the show, he came off the tables, went into the crowd. That's right. That's what I always do have a ticket I probably do have a ticket And yo After the show

My 40 foot bus My second album came out I owned my first 40-foot bus. My 40-foot bus.
My second album came out.
I owned my first bus, and then I went and bought a 45-foot.
The crazy shit, when I went to go buy my first bus,
the people that owned the bus, the company, they were laughing at me.
Like, nobody buys buses.
Your album come out, you go rent a bus, tour's over,
and you send the bus back.
I said, man, give me my bus, man.
Came back, bought another one.
Gave them their best drivers
Drivers
Just assimilate cash
Money little thing
All that
So it was happening
They didn't even offer me
A million dollars
For my company
Didn't take it
But you know
But at the end of the day
I was the first one
To do that
Because it was so many dates
And I'm traveling
With 15 crazy records
I like my shit
To look crazy and bulky
So I was on stage
Smashing them like that
I needed my bus
To roll and take me
So that's what I did.
Goddamn, make some noise
for that, man.
Now, A$AP Ferb.
He had a question for us.
Let him ask his question.
I had a question for you
that I wanted you to hit me
with a question.
When was the moment
you knew?
Because, you know,
y'all was a crew
prior to coming out.
Yeah.
A$AP gang,
but A$AP crew.
But when was the moment that, because I understand that Rocky was the first one to coming out. ASAP gang, but ASAP crew. But when was the moment that,
because I understand that Rocky was the first one to jump off,
but when was the moment you said,
I'm here?
The moment that I knew that, like,
when he was doing his thing and I was playing passenger,
I was, like, I was just basically studying
because before I got into the game, I was scared as hell.
You know, they always talk about, like, all the people basically studying because before I got into the game, I was scared as hell.
You know, they always talk about, like, all the people taking advantage and the record execs and the devils in the game and all of that.
And Shani is sold to the devil.
But who do you think is going to take advantage?
Who do you think that's going to come from?
I mean. Who do you thought back then?
Them people you wouldn't expect it.
The people that Khaled told them about?
The who?
The people that Khaled told them about?
The who?
The day.
The day.
The day.
Definitely the day. The Khaled. The Khaled. The who? The day. The day. The Khaled.
The Khaled.
Khaled?
DJ Khaled?
I'm dyslexic.
Relax.
No, no.
You said the Khaled.
That might be some other crew.
The Khaled.
The Khaled.
You know that Khaled.
DJ Khaled?
Them guys that have.
Day guys.
Yeah, day guys that don't have no desire to hang out with you and your friends.
Those guys.
And, yeah, I just basically wanted to study the game.
And, you know, we all just, like, it was good because I was doing it with my friends.
But, like, I was just like, all right, when he drops, I got to be, like, right behind him.
You know what I'm saying?
Just to be that support.
And I know, like, you know, when things slow down for him, you know, I got to be the next one.
Just like how Meek did for Ross or, like, you know, I gotta be the next one, just like how Meek did for Raw, so, like, you know,
Drake did for Wayne, I gotta be there
to pick up the thing and put it on my
back, and I had to figure
out, we was, like, really
pushing Rockies, like, we was,
you know, we all
wanted to do Vogue, we all wanted to do GQ,
we all wanted, but he did it first, and he
did it, you know, he opened those doors for us,
but we was, like, basically putting him on a pedestal opened Those doors for us But we was like Basically putting him
On a pedestal
To do those things
So I was like
What can I do
To do something different
You know what I'm saying
Cause y'all started
Hanging downtown
Wearing different type of clothes
Yeah but we've been
Hanging downtown
Doing different clothes
Like I was hanging out
Uptown
I wouldn't wear
Different clothes
We were just different
You know this is the
Village of Miami right here
I don't think so
This is the village Nigga I don't know When village of Miami right here. I don't think so. This is the village, nigga.
I don't know. When was this the village
of Miami? I don't think so.
It just don't got style. It don't got style
like the village. The village got style.
This is like the art galleries. Yeah, this is the art gallery.
Go to Wimbledon 20 years ago.
It's not like that. Yeah, I know.
What I was getting to, though, was just like
I just basically had to discover
what I was going to bring to the table. Like my sound and basically had to discover what I was going to bring to the table.
Like, my sound and what ASAP Ferg is going to be to the group.
And I knew that, like, ASAP wasn't really in the clubs like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Because we was hanging out downtown and we went to house parties and, you know, we was with a bunch of white hippies and shit like that.
I want y'all to invite me to these parties.
You know, fashion parties and shit like that.
So,
but I'm always the hype one.
I'm bringing the energy.
So like,
I'm the one,
I was the invitation
to the club.
And that's when I started
doing work and shabba
and like all these things.
Whose idea was that?
The shabba shit is genius.
Oh,
that was mine.
I like,
listen,
I didn't even know
what I was doing.
It just kind of came to me.
And like,
I heard the beat
and I was just like.
Nah,
yo,
he got fucking shabba on the joint, dog. Shabba, come on, man. Wait, what I want? Oh, he's talking about shabba. kind of came to me and like I heard the beat I did not finish the ranks. You got to finish the ranks.
Shabba, Shabba.
Nah, it was my idea.
To get the actual Shabba ranks. It was mine.
Yeah, but what I'm asking, how old are you?
I'm 28.
You're 28?
How do you appreciate Shabba ranks?
I mean, I grew up with Shabba ranks.
But the video was spot on, too.
And you had the jewelry on like him.
Shabba ranks, I had Shabba in the video dancing.
The whole treatment of the video was evolved around Shabba.
It was like we had people emulating him.
I was emulating him.
That's what I'm saying.
It was spot on.
Rich, famous.
And then like I had, we was like basically loitering in his house.
Like, you know, he snuck in his house.
He was like, that's when he shows up at the end of the video.
He's like, yo Yo get out of my house
But he start partying with us
Right
But like I grew up
Seeing Shabba
Like on Rap City
And I always remember him
Like having mad jewelry
Always had mad chicks
In the videos
So I was like
Yo who was cooler
Than Shabba
Shabba was cool
Yeah
Always been cool
But I always like
Pay homage to like
Those before me
Like you know I used to shout out Selena Like you know Early in my career That was always been cool. But I always like pay homage to like those before me.
Like, you know, I used to shout out Selena, like, you know, early in my career, 100 Million Roses.
And then I put like Onyx and Be Real on the same track on my first album.
And then I turned around and put Bone Thugs on a track called Lord on my first album.
So that was just always the thing I did.
It's like, if you want to make history, you got to literally
make yourself a part of history.
And that's what I was doing,
linking myself with history.
That's one thing
I always respected about y'all
is that, like,
from the beginning,
y'all came out,
y'all said y'all was raised
on Bum B.
Y'all said y'all was raised
on Master B.
And y'all wasn't afraid
to actually big up
y'all influences.
That's one thing that I always,
because it don't matter
where your influence come from.
I'm from New York City.
I don't give a fuck. But if my fucking influence came from nwa i gotta claim that i gotta say if my influence came from ice tea i gotta claim it and that's one thing that
i always you know respected from y'all that y'all stuck with that right yo can i get that rose
now tony touch you're a motherfucking genius You sat back
And you said
I'm gonna make something
Called 50 MCs
Why?
That changed the game
For the mix
You fucked us up
Yeah, you fucked us up
Cause I had to have my verse
Every time you would call me
For 50 MCs
I had to write for like a week
I had to be like
Cause I know you might
My verse might come on
And you might put it on
Scarface right after me
Then after Scarface
It's a Nas
Or a Jay
You know
Shit like that
How did you think
Of the 50 MCs
What was going
Through your head
Was you smoking dust
It feels like PCP
What was it
What was Doo-Wop's
Equivalent to that
Was it first
Doo-Wop
Here's what happened
Doo-Wop did a mix tape
Called 95 Live
So he raised the bar.
He raised the bar with the mixtape game with that 95 Live.
What was that 95 what?
It was called 95 Live, the mixtape.
He had like maybe 15 MCs on it.
KLS.
And he did like this long intro and it changed the game.
It was crazy.
So a year later, it was my 50th mixtape.
Right.
And, you know, I wanted to treat it like an anniversary kind of thing.
And so I fed off of what like WAP did.
Right.
You know, just different influences.
Of course, Kid set the whole thing off.
Everything.
You know what I mean?
Everything.
We're products of this.
Let me start off by that.
Absolutely.
Pay homage.
For not Capri,, I wouldn't even probably
have been doing mixtapes.
You know what I'm saying?
I probably wouldn't have
babies if it wasn't for Capri.
Let's throw that out there.
So, you know,
so yeah,
50 MCs,
the 50th tape,
anniversary.
You don't need child support
to raise the bar.
Throw it out there.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
That's it.
That's what it is.
You know what I mean?
Absolute genius at that time.
It was something that you had to sharpen your bars for.
Like right now, a DJ calls an artist for a mixtape and all they want to do is out-fashion.
But back then, it was about bars.
Yeah.
Now, right now, I don't mind the out-fashion.
I don't mind the whatever.
Like, I'm into all this new shit.
Are you into it?
What's a new record you're into?
I mean, you know, I still got the radio show on over there.
What's a record Tony Thokai is into?
I mean, I like all this shit.
I like A$AP Ferg shit.
I like West Coast shit.
I like South shit.
Name one.
I like German shit.
I like West Coast, you know.
Name one.
Name one you want to get in a car to and ride out to right now.
Right now, if I walked out the door, probably something like Conway right now is doing it for me.
Big up Conway.
There's an artist outside of New York.
Right.
You know, Currency.
You know, stuff like that.
You know, all kind of shit.
West Coast shit.
How about you, Ferb?
What's the joint right now you want to jump in the whip?
I'm listening to Ross' album.
It kills it.
Yeah, we got to get into Ross' album.
It kills it.
And I like Drake, the shit where he talking his shit on the songs.
Oh, okay.
He's talking his shit.
What's the first song called of the album?
Free Smoke. Free Smoke. Free Smoke of the album? Free Smoke.
Free Smoke.
Free Smoke, Free Smoke.
I'm not a meat now.
That boy went in.
I felt him.
And besides that, I just listen to like a...
I'm still stuck on like the old shit.
Like, honestly.
Okay, hold on.
So, Kid, what's the joint right now?
You're going to the car.
You want to hear it right now
It's kind of hard to ask me that
Because I got
So much music
I'll be playing
I got three different shows
Going on right now
But just one
I mean right now
I mean right now
I guess Ross album
Is banging right now
I'm saying that
Trap Trap
Ross is crazy
There's all that shit
Is crazy on that album
I was just on the boat
The other day
We were playing that shit
On the album
For the first time.
It's the old Bible.
Hey, yo, shout out to Bing.
Bing did a great job.
Bing did a stay.
Come over here.
Come over here.
Come over here.
Come over here.
I want to tell y'all what song I want to get in the car right now and listen to.
Y'all ready?
Y'all ready?
Y'all ready?
And then the game went ready? And then the Yo, that joint.
Now, look, I don't want to blow the guy up,
but a legend, super legend in the game.
I'm on the way here.
So I'm talking to him on the phone,
talking to him about, you know, just regular shit.
And the song comes on, and I go,
I put the phone down like, yo,
this is the hottest joint on the street.
Soon as I put it back up, he's like,
I fucking hate that joint.
And I'm like, damn.
See, the thing about me is,
I come from the 90s, but I live in 2017.
I choose to appreciate what's happening now.
Me too.
Like, I can live off the old shit.
That's cool, but I actually lived in that era.
You know what I'm saying?
Most people who praise that era are people who didn't live in that era.
Going down this path again right now?
Yeah, no, I'm saying.
I'm saying because I actually really dig the new shit
And people be looking at me because I'm like a quote unquote
You know, what is it?
Gangster rapper from then
Like I can appreciate everything
I do think that y'all had more fun back in the day
No, we definitely had more fun
I feel like it's like you really hardly could feel anything nowadays.
Okay, now break that down, Ferb.
You want to drink some rosé with me, Ferb?
I'm drinking.
You want some rosé, though?
I'm getting lit right now.
Let's get some rosé.
Yeah.

Yeah, but Fer, hold on.
Hold on. hold on.
My bad.
I want you to finish.
But did you see how I opened that up?
Did you see a spell drop?
No spell. You can tell that's a real champagne popper.
Champagne trap.
Popper.
Popper.
He popped it, put it on the thing,
and just looked at my man and it didn't spill.
I'm sorry.
Continue.
Nah, basically it's just like I felt like,
you know, back in the days, it was about discovery.
And, like, you know, people interacting with people.
Nowadays, I feel like everybody hide behind the computers and everything like that.
And I'm not crushing that because it's like, you know, it did open a lot of doors for what's happening now.
But, you know, I marvel at what, like Like how y'all Lived y'all lives
Back in the days
Like hearing the stories
From my uncle

hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.

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.

the yayo.
I just came to work.
So now, Kikapri,
you've been all over the world.
You was signed to
Trackmasters. Let's talk about that time period.
No, I wasn't signed to Trackmasters. I was signed
to Columbia for five years
because they lost.
You sound like a bitch when you said that. No, because what happened was, you know, at the time, I'm sizzling, sizzling, sizzling because they lost. Sound like a bitch when you said that.
No, because what happened was, you know, at the time,
I'm sizzling, sizzling, sizzling. They lost.
We've been rich for so long. You just seen how he did that?
He was like, I did.
That was a rich nigga move.
Listen, certain people don't
speak rich nigga. Like, every
time Hov texts me, I always
show it to somebody else that
I know is richer than me. Because I don't understand what Ove be talking about.
He'll say something and then he'll skip lines.
I'm sorry.
But that was a rich nigga suggestion.
What are we talking about?
Go ahead, continue.
What are we talking about?
Just make it up.
This ain't Columbia.
You're out of Columbia, man.
Bitch, five years in Columbia.
Right?
So I did my album.
And I gave it to the head A&R.
He lost the shit.
What?
Oh, shit.
So I told him, I said, well, fuck y'all.
The whole album?
The whole album.
I said, fuck y'all.
You didn't have a copy?
Listen.
I said, fuck y'all.
You're doing nothing.
Right?
Five years later, they said, call me your kid.
Because they were trying for the whole five years.
Your kid, come on.
Do your thing.
Nah, he's doing nothing.
So five years later, they called me, yo, we signed. Track kid, come on, let's do that. Nah, he doing nothing. So, five years later,
they call me,
yo, we signed,
track masters,
they coming in with Columbia,
they going, you know,
straightening out shit.
I was like,
alright, I know them,
maybe I'll fuck with them
and see what's going to go on.
So, as we started doing that,
I'm a producer,
I think track masters
did maybe two joints
and I did everything else.
And, you know,
as we going along,
I'm seeing certain things
that I didn't think should have happened but you know I'm telling them like let's just wait let's
you know they wanted to put it out on November 17th the day of everybody coming out they promoted
six months let's wait till the next year turn around and then we put it out then you know
whatever happened happened but the bottom line is the album was a classic the album was dope
you know I'm saying so that's what happened But as far as it being sold
The way it was supposed to be sold
And handled
It wasn't handled the way I wanted it to handle
So from that album
And everybody was on there
I won a Grammy from that
From that joint with Jay-Z on it
But you know I had everybody on there
From that album
You know it was so much trouble doing it
Even though I was on there
No one had problems on there
That's right
But it just made me feel like
I didn't want to do no more records
I didn't want to do no more albums
You know what I'm saying
Because it was just too much clearances
Too much shit
I'm on the roll heavy
It was just too much shit to deal with
So I just said I ain't going to do it
But now
You know I was with Battle Rap for the last 8, 9 years
Like following them and you know being on them
And you know just supporting the whole movement
Me and Lux we had shot something
I was going to bring to HBO
It didn't work out
But I ended up starting
I started an album on them called Top Tier Got tired of him battle rappers couldn't make good records
So I said, you know
I'm gonna take the top battle rappers or some new kids put them all together and make some hot shit and
Try to prove the world wrong and don't use no mainstream artists on album
So I don't have not one mainstream artists on albums all battle rappers. It's called time to
The white ones your cup now bro Yeah It's your cup The white one is your cup?
Nah
Which one
Who cup is that?
The white one
Mine is empty
Empty?
Hey, you want some
No, I got my
I got my bullshit
I'm lit, I got two cups
You know, this is how
They do it in Paris
This is cold
No, this is how
They do it in Paris
That's how they do it in Paris
That's how you do it in Paris
No, that's how they do it
That's how they do it
Yo, shout out to Mr. Cream.
We're in Mr. Cream Ice Cream Shop.
Shout out.
Yeah, big up Mr. Cream.
Definitely, man.
Big up 89 as well.
We're at Mr. Cream right now.
Because the reason why I say that, Capri,
is because the people who helped me shape my only platinum album
was the Trackmasters.
Yeah.
And our dad did an album called N.Omasters. Yeah. And I did an album called
N.O.R.E. And I remember damn near
almost maybe
60% of the sessions, you were
the next star to me. Trackmasters
is a beast. Let's just get it straight.
You know what I'm saying? And they definitely helped me
mold my album the way I wanted to mold it.
You know what I'm saying? Sonically and everything.
If you listen to the soundtrack to the
Streetsound album, it was incredible.
And they did a lot of contributing.
Did you come to Bearsville?
Huh?
Bearsville?
A lot of contributing.
Let me make sure I say the right words.
Did you come to Bearsville?
You don't remember Bearsville?
No, I did everything in...
Hit Factory?
Yeah, everything was in Hit Factory.
Hit Factory.
So we did that.
You remember we used to bowl bottles of Cristal?
You don't remember that?
Nah, I wasn't around then.
Yo, listen, listen. We used to drink bottles of Cristal? You don't remember that? Nah, I wasn't around then. Yo, listen, listen.
We used to drink all the Cristal, right?
And then we used to be like, yo, line them up.
And we would line them up.
Head factory kicked us out, nonetheless.
Right, right, right.
You remember, it was two head factories.
Yeah.
It was the one up the block on 54th, and the one down the block.
I was banned for life.
Banned for life. And there's one out here, right?
Miami.
Well, that's, yes.
Right, okay.
That's jump where that was going.
That was originally Criterion.
Okay.
It used to be called, I'm old school.
Criterion's mad old school.
Yeah, I'm mad old school.
It was called Criterion.
And then Hit Factory bought it.
But remember, 54th Street, it was Sony.
Then it was Hit Factory. And then it was the old Hit Factory.
I could never get the new Hit Factory.
That's why I was at Newark.
Cristal was the shit back then, so we used to drink so much bottles of Cristal, we used to line the bottles up.
And then whoever was drinking the next bottle, we used to be like, okay, let's go.
My whole session, you cannot walk.
Because everybody, other sessions, they used to take their socks off, I mean, their shoes off, and just walk around.
You know what I mean?
You can never do that in my sessions.
My shit is, we bowling crystals.
Shit is just crazy.
Them niggas say, you're never allowed back.
Never.
You're going up the block.
And then I had to go to the hood factory.
That's what they called the hood factory.
It was called the hood factory.
You remember? Like, because they had built the hood factory It was called the hood factory You remember?
Like because
They had built the
The new head factory
Up the block from Sony
Remember Sony was right there?
Mm-hmm
But you was
Basically in almost
Every session of my
Most famous album
In or out here
I got on your album
Remember me
Fiesta
Fiesta you were
Just on your album
No no no
Trapmaster produced that
Oh he's on it
You on it
I'm on record with you
And then we did my joint.
You came and did the joint with me and Park.
But do you remember?
It was me, you, 50 Cent.
Mm-hmm.
That little video.
That video.
It's very, it's viral.
Viral.
That was your session, correct?
That was my session.
That was your session.
I gave, matter of fact, I gave 50, I produced Rowdy Rowdy for 50.
Maybe a week later after that.
Because people don't know you're a producer.
Come on, let's produce Madonna, produce
a number love for Heavy D,
produce the Slytherin Jane.
That's how Boris knows Kid Capri.
That he's producing that.
The producer.
In the real world,
I'm going to tell you right, with all the years,
with all the accolades and everything I got from this shit,
producing as much as I love it, it never been my bread and butter.
My bread and butter always been on those stages and doing what I do.
Now I'm taking it real serious.
Even though I produced my first and second album, it never really was.
One thing I don't like doing, I can't go on motherfucking sessions.
Yo, I got beats, yo. Yo, go on Motherfucking sessions Yo I got beats Yo
Yo let me get on your arm
I got beats
Yo I can't
I just can't do that shit
It's like
So I felt like
If I do this top ten album
And the shit hot enough
Everybody gonna hear it
And come to me
And say okay this is right
So the people that I brought
The companies I brought it to
I ain't let it go yet
But the ones I brought it to
They asking for the shit
That I have on there
So I know it's gonna work
You know what I'm saying
But that's the way of me doing it
Cause I don't like
I just don't like bothering people
You know
You get that shit everyday
You know what I'm saying
You get it everyday
So it's like
You don't need
You know
I just stay out of the way
I do my lane
That's it
You know
But yeah
I'm taking it serious now though
This year I'm getting on niggas nerves
For sure
For sure
For sure

He was like our,
basically, he was the,
your shug, your puff.
Yeah, he was definitely that.
And he weaved us together, because you got a lot of
artists, you know what I'm saying,
on one label.
You know, we was all crew before, like, we even got into the business. So it was just like, you know how everybody got their own individual, like, attitudes.
And, you know, he basically found a way to facilitate all of our ideas
and weave us all into each other to where the world can digest what we
was doing.
You know what I'm saying?
And he made us the package.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, he was basically the Steve Jobs, and he made the iPhone that was easy to work.
Right.
Yeah.
Was it his idea to say everybody is going to be called ASAP?
ASAP and ASAP?

one of the superiors, one of the originals.
It was him.
It was my boy ASAP
Bari. Shout out to him.

Yeah, yeah. Mickey Benson.
That's an old school gangster. Let's pick him up.
And it was Melly Mel and them.
Had a radio show called The Mic Check Show.
So I got lucky and somehow me and Mickey hooked up.
I don't remember how, but yeah, they asked me to provide beats for callers that would call up to rap live on the show.
It was like an hour-long show.
They would do their thing, the Furious Five.
I think, who else was there? Scorpio.

That was like, shit.
That was like 93 or some shit.
94.
Actually, you know what?
And that was when Pun, that's when we first heard of Pun.
So it was like 94.
Because after the Mic Check Show, they would do a lyrical showcase
in the Bronx.
Mickey and Melly used to hook up this lyric showcase
up in the BX.
And that's when...
For you, buddy.
And that's when
they found pun.
While I was doing the radio show,
they had this MC showcase in the Bronx.
And that's when
Mickey and them, they connected this MC showcase in the Bronx. And that's when Mickey and them
connected with Pond
and everything else history. But that show
lasted like eight months. It was a quick little run.

This is how I got
to get the truth

Absolutely.
We get the truth
out of ourselves.
We probably fucking
take more shit
than anybody else.
It's very true.
People think
we start having
conversations with ourselves
and it's terrible.
All right, look.
But look.
I'm going to be honest. No, no. I'm going to be honest. All right, look. But look. I know.

That's why I want Gino to be here.
Gino tell me stories about you and your crew all the time.
No, but look.
I'm going to tell you something about your pops which is real.
We did an album called The War Report.
The War Report critically acclaimed our first album, Shit Goes Through the Roof.
We have a person that was an intern
at the time called Gino.
He was the person at the front.
So,
the people who did our shirts in the beginning
were people from Canal Street.
We thought that was a deal.
Gino's in the front
answering the phone.
Gino turns around
And goes
Oh
Fucking hell
Street
We can go uptown
And we can get our shit right
So everybody's looking like
Damn
But this is his first task
We take it on
It's your father
He refers us to
Your father made the NRE t-shirts
The original NRE
The shit that Pun got on his head
If you look at it
It's a famous
Cause I gave Pun a t-shirt
And he said what the fuck
I can't fit this
And I was like damn
It's very true
So he just put it on his head.
But your father was the person who designed it.
Now, first of all, my people from the Bronx, 157 and Gerard,
was the first people to refer me to him.
But when I brought it to the label, the label said no.
But Gino was the guy who actually pushed the whole envelope through.
And the person he pushed it through was Foyer Falls.
And that's your fucking manager, right?
And that's your fucking manager, right?
All right, take your shot.
Take your shot.
Oh, I didn't take my shot?

I feel like every black nigga in Madonna
working with smash.
All right.
I feel like every... Yo. I'm going to be real
with you, man. A lot of women
in the industry,
a lot of behind the scenes chicks, a lot of rappers,
a lot of actresses, a lot of models,
a lot of them try to get at me.
And I would never fuck with one
industry chick ever.
Why is that? One,
a lot of them talk a lot. I'm not saying all of them,, a lot of them talk a lot.
I'm not saying all of them, but a lot of them talk a lot.
And two,
a lot of them fuck with the same circle
of everybody.
You fuck around, me and you be here
talking next to me.
It become that.
At the end of the day, I just felt like
I ain't want nobody doing what I do. If I'm in this industry
and I do what I do here, I already know how gritty this shit can get.
So if you in it, I know how gritty it can get for you.
And you're going to get offered way more than I'm going to get, just like a chick in a strip club.
She's going to get offered way more than a regular chick is going to get.
It ain't just the strip club.
It's the ball over here that got the $10,000 for a couple of hours.
Come here and let me show you.
I'm going to pay it up.
And that's what it's going to be.
It's going to be more than just
what it really is. So that's why I never
really even fucked around.
It's an industry strip club.
Exactly, pretty much. So I stay away from that.
I just do my little thing.
What the fuck you want? I don't know what's going on. Relax.
Come down, bro.

So he gave me $500
And was like
Give me the work
And I was like
Alright cool
I thought he was smoking
I didn't even be honest
I'm like fuck it
Go ahead
Go ahead
It's the way out
Go ahead
The nigga threw this shit in the sewer
And I was pissed
But he paid for it
But I was like yo what the
And he said yo look watch this
And he turned me around
Like he grabbed me
Like how I'm grabbing you right now
But he turned me around
And every car that drove through
Was playing the war report.
And I still didn't know what that meant because I was so much of a hood person.
It was like I thought I just made it for my hood.
I was like, so what?
I made it just for these niggas.
These niggas are supposed to play it.
But he was trying to show me that everybody that's driving through is not from left rack.
They're just driving through to show that they're playing a War Report.
But still, I don't understand.
But anyway, after that day, he plays my package.
He says, come on tour.
This is when I meet the legendary Kid Ripper.
This is a porno tape story?
So, all right.
Now, Aka's on like a Maybe like a
20-30 day tour
But seven days
Mind you
I used to go uptown
To this weed spot
He's cracking his knuckles
I used to go uptown
To this weed spot called
Three Wise Men
It was in Harlem Best weed I ever smoked I used to go to Three Wise Men. So they didn't call them.
Best weed I ever smoked.
We used to go up there, and Three Wise Men had nothing but Kikapri tapes.
So that was our thing.
Like, a Kikapri tape at this time was like being fly.
Like, you ain't actually had to be fly if you had to retake me your sex of fly Saturday
and Sunday thank you
this is real shit you actually have to have a first pair of sneakers on if you
like what I can't pray six to kick 316 right Oh, what? I'm only on 12. How you not 16?
But this is that type of fly shit, right?
Now,
it takes me on a tour.
Kid,
it's like three days in.
Kid says, Norm,
you gotta relax.
He didn't say that, but in my mind, he said that.
He said, them niggas ain't smoking. You ain't say that, but in my mind he said that. He said,
them niggas ain't smoking. You ain't having no fun with them.
And he was right.
So I came to
the kid room.
We started playing Sega Genesis.
Because that was the thing back
then. It was like Nintendo, Sega,
Genesis era.
I'm sitting there, I'm like, I'm sitting there And he's smoking in this room
Not only I can't smoke in Ox
Van
I can't even smoke around it
Because he's like a real
Don't smoke type of nigga
Like that shit is whack type of nigga
So I'm like alright
Now I'm with King of Prey.
I was afraid
this nigga's mixtapes
were sitting there playing video games with him.
And he says, you know,

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I know I was wildin', man. Nah, you was livin' life. You was livin' life. I mean, yeah, but, you know, I was like, you know, I'm talking about this every day.
I'm glad no bullshit happened.
Like, look, there was chicks sending me keys to their crib.
I wasn't even asking for it.
Sent me keys to their crib.
So I'm thinking, I'm telling my niggas on the road, like, yo, let me tell you something.
Y'all niggas don't go in no chick's room, don't go in nobody's house.
Because you never know where the next nigga they send a key to.
You up in there and you know.
So, you know, I'm saying that.
I'm saying it was.
We can't really talk because it's not the show for that.
But this show.
I mean, the shit that was going on at that time.
It was like a nigga could have gotten a lot of shit.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's why I'm glad it worked out the way it worked out.
Now I'm a whole different person. Right. You know what I'm saying? So that's why I'm glad it worked out the way it worked out. Now I'm a whole different person.
But, you know,
now, you know,
sex comes to me now.
It's like, whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
I know now,
but back then...
You know what?
I had a talk with LL Cool J.
You was like the first
porn star I ever seen.
I said your LL.
Shut up.
Shut up.
I said the LL.
I said your L.
I said your L.
I said your L. You cheating on your wife? No. He put me on too. I got that also. I said, yo, you cheating on your wife?
No, he put me on too.
I got that all.
I said, yo, you cheating on your wife?
He's like, no.
I was like, why not?
He said, he said, cause I can't get no money Being pushed around From different women
You pull this way
You pull this way
I agree
If you have one woman
To satisfy
That's all you have to worry about
You can worry about
Everything else you gotta do
Which is the truth
At the time I was doing
I was doing
Yo I had one woman
Walk out one hour
Another one walk out another hour
Another one walk out another
My man sitting there
Looking at this shit
You know what I'm saying
So it ain't like
It's documented.
It could happen.
When you're doing it, you think you...
It's a trophy. It's like you think you're doing
something. That shit ain't bullshit. That's
bullshit, B. You know what I'm saying?
The real shit is
create an opportunity for
other niggas to get on. You know what I'm saying?
The way you're going to do that is focus on what you're doing.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm saying? And the way you're going to do that is focus on what you're doing. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm doing.
You know what I'm saying?
That's where I'm going
right now.
So that's why we started
these shows.
I got three different shows
going on right now.
They all popping.
You know what I'm saying?
And when I'm doing it,
I started this Gmail
Black Party Action
at gmail.com
where I tell people
around the country
to send me their music
and I play it on my shows
because I know what it's like to not get hurt.
You ain't got no money for it.
You ain't got no outlet, no machine.
Nobody know where you at.
Nobody trying to help you.
So this is the spot where if it's hot or not, I'm going to let the fans decide that.
I'm not going to put my opinion into it.
But I'm going to give you an outlet.
I gave them an outlet for them to be hurt.
So every week when I'm doing the joints, I play a few of the joints.
And let the people decide what's going on.
That means so much to that person. even if they don't go nowhere.
It's just that they know that they have a chance.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's all to it, people.
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 Ranella. I'll correct my kids now
and then where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the ice age people
that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where
we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley
comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.
This is Absolute Season 1.

This Pride Month, 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 regime 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.

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's 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.

Like it was just
It was just
It was just
If you was in there You felt, it was just, if you was
in there, you felt like you was somebody,
but really you was nobody,
really. So when I was in there,
I was just looking at this shit like it was like,
wow, this is, this is what goes on.
But,
after the party was over,
the whole 45th Street
should be flooded.
You see the biggest dudes driving the craziest cars skidding around the street.
The whole street flooded out.
And then they'll all go on Wednesday night.
They'll leave from there.
And we'll all go to the rink in New Jersey.
And the rink, that used to be crazy.
Leave the rink, come back to 145th Street to 8th Avenue.
That was like base.
It was just the place to be.
Harlem at that time was just
crazy, but there was a lot of killing going on.
A lot of different shit going on. Niggas getting killed.
Buggies was like a big deal out there.
You see niggas rolling up
people in buggies and shit like that.
But you came up in a time where
there was nothing to add. You came in a good time.
You know what I'm saying? But at that time, it was like
it was rough at that time.
Our pole used to buy tape from me for $500. What? A mixtape? Let me get that time, it was rough at that time. Our Poe used to buy tape from me for $500.
A mixtape?
Let me get that tape, kid.
Nah, Poe.
I'll give you $100.
Nah, I'll give you $200.
Nah, Poe.
I'll give you $300.
Keep following it.
All right, Poe.
Take this goddamn tape.
Yep.
It was crazy at that time.
Now, back then Cause
You
Coming from Queens
Right
Queens
You were
You were like the first person
Bearing through
From the Bronx
Harlem
Uptown
The Uptown area
Bringing to here
Then
Then it was
The Bounce Master
DJ Doo-Wop
Yeah I had beef
What happened?
I wasn't from Queens.
No, no, no, I'm saying,
I'm telling you,
I'm coming from Queens.
Oh, you come from Queens.
Listen to me.
What happened with me
and Doo-Wop was,
well, Wop was somebody
I was going to school with.
And I didn't know he was Wop.
Yeah, both of them.
We used to go, yeah.
We used to go,
we used to be in the seat
in the morning and all that,
puff, all that in the morning.
So what happened was,
one day this kid, you know, I'm rocking that in the morning. So, what happened was, one day this
kid, you know, I'm rocking with the tape, shit popping,
everything's going good. And this is right when I was
about to stop, because what happened was I got signed to
Columbia, I mean, the Warner
Brothers, and Starlight,
the A&R, she showed me a bunch of
magazines that said, Kiki Preet, the only DJ
in the world to make millions
of dollars off of street mixtapes.
And I knew that wasn't true.
I knew people
were selling my tapes.
They were buying houses
and cars off my joints
from selling them.
But I wasn't making that bread.
I was making what I was making.
So that's when I decided,
so you know what?
I'm going to leave
as the Michael Jordan
and shit
and go and take my career
a different way.
Right.
Right?
When I decided to do that,
some kid that I ain't seen in years
rolled up on me
with a little bit of a tape
and said,
yo, this kid named Doo-Wop
about to come at you.
And he gave a little bit to me on the tape.
So he played it for me.
So I'm like, oh, shit, what the fuck is this?
And what was it saying on the tape?
Some shit.
It was whatever it was.
It was some shit, but it was disrespectful.
Right.
Again, I didn't know it was why.
Right.
So right away, I made the beat.
Did a little four-track.
Earth went in five, joint chopped it up. Wrote the rhyme right there. Had to join out the next day. Right. So right away I made the beat Did a little four track Earth, Wind & Fire
Joint chopped it up
Wrote the rhyme right there
Had to joint out the next day
Before he even got a chance
To put his joint out
I had my shit out
So that was the last joint
I put out
And that shit was monumental
So now he had came out
With like 50 joints after
Well I ain't gonna call it 50
But he came out
With a lot of joints after
And that was my only joint
You know and that was The beginning of. You know, and that was the beginning
of the me and Wild Beef.
Where it got disrespectful is when Wild Pass
said something about my moms and my girl.
And that's when we had a show.
I had a show in Virginia.
He had a show in Virginia.
And I took my tour bus down there,
did my show, and I waited for him
to have his show the next day,
and I went to his show.
And, you know, I put him out the booth,
and, you know, let's go around the corner
and you leave our people here and we do what we do.
And, you know, it didn't work out like
that and I know it wasn't going to be nothing
so later on he apologized for what he
said and that's all I really wanted.
It was no problem. Later on, me
and Watt made records together. We made
two or three joints together where we
work and right now it is Damien.
It's cool cool At the time
It was a little tense
And we was going to get it on
But later on
We seen that
It really wasn't nothing
It was kind of monumental for us
Because it brought
A certain bar to the DJ
To the rap DJ
You know
You remember
I got bars too
I could get on the mic
And I do my thing
I do what I do
So that's what it was
It just brought that level
And then it brought dudes like Tony
Touch out and dudes that could rhyme
and produce and DJ and all that
shit. It shows that you're
just not stuck in one spot.
So shout out to Rob.
Rob was a talented dude.
I thought I was going to take an L, but really
nobody took an L. It was just a monumental
thing that happened in
the mixtape game.
It was going to turn nasty because of that, mixtape game. You know what I'm saying?
But it was going to turn nasty because of that, but it never really did.
So it was all great.
And I talked to Robert today.
It was all good.
Let's make some love.
I'm going to ignore it.
Yeah.
We got it.
So now first, Rocky's popping off.
You're doing your thing.
You sit back.
Now, what is your plans when you say,
my first record pops off, what am I going to do?
What was your plans from the original beginning?
Go and never stop.
Yeah, go and never stop.
Never take my foot off the gas.
Because I always knew that I had a bunch of people I had to put on as well.
Like, you know, me, Rocky, 12E, Addy, because I always knew that I had a bunch of people I had to put on as well.
Like, you know, me, Rocky, 12E, Addy, like the whole ASAP mob,
just the mob, but I got family outside of the mob as well.
You know what I'm saying?
Break that down.
You know, I got people I grew up with, kids.
You know, Marty Baller, I got, you know, my Uncle T. I got, you know, different people that's in my family, you know,
that's a part of my team now that I have to support or I wanted to support.
So it's always been not about me.
It's about, like, you know, getting this opportunity to put other people on.
How old was you, if you don't mind me asking, when your boss passed away?
It was three days before my 17th birthday.
Oh.
Yeah. And did you know your pops is a legend though oh definitely okay i always think about
all the kids that like you know like i always just think about about dame dash son because he was
pretty popping back then you know as far as like his pops being like somebody in the industry or
like yeah boogie shouts of boogie or like little romeo or like you know these people as far as his pops being somebody in the industry. Or like Lil... Yeah, Boogie, shout out to Boogie.
Or like Lil Romeo, or like, you know,
these people whose sons, like,
they fathers were somebody,
and I always thought, like,
damn, my pops is somebody.
Because he knew all these people.
He introduced me to Puff.
It was a bunch of killers I met.
It was a bunch of different people
that came to that store on the 45th.
So I knew that my pops was powerful.
And I knew that I was somebody special because of him.
And you said 17.
Yeah, 17.
So what age did you acknowledge that your pops was powerful?
Always.
Always knew that.
Always knew that. Because he wasn't only only powerful but he was a good name yeah he was incredible and that and you know you know
that's the only thing that i like only thing that i hold on to in life is just being a good
right like i don't give a about anything else yeah yeah that's what a think
think about me I just
Wanna be a good nigga
Right
And that's what
Chip pops
Right definitely
He's 100%
Yeah
A good nigga
Yo he's
He's like a concert
Like everybody was there
Everybody was there
Puff came by
Puff moms was there
Yep
Everybody
My pops was just like
The bridge
I like to call him the bridge
Because
Like I said He was the bridge Between the like to call him the bridge because, like I said,
he was the bridge between the streets and mainstream.
You know what I'm saying?
He wasn't like one way.
And, you know, he always kept like a solid base in Harlem.
And he put on for his people.
And I got a chance to meet all types of people from all walks of life,
from like the superstars to the hood dudes. To like the hood dudes that ran things in the hood.
You know, that knew how to talk that politics
and who you had to speak to if you had to come around town
and you wanted to make some moves.
He knew everybody.
So when this rap thing first came to you,
was that something you discussed with your pops or not?
I was always shy about music with my pops because I was never the music person.
And he knew all the giants.
Like, you know, he introduced me to Puff.
You know, what is my little raps going to do for him?
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, you know, when it came to rap music, I was battling under my hood.
He didn't even know, you know know I was doing music or writing rhymes.
Because I was also designing clothes and drawing at the same time.
I was doing what he was doing.
So it was just like, you know, my raps I just kind of kept to myself and my friends.
So as a person, and I apologize if I'm getting a little deep,
but as a person, I lost my father during the highlight of my career.
Wow.
My father died July 3rd, 1998.
The best year of my life is 1998.
Wow.
Sorry to hear that.
So, as a person, and my father used to look at me like this.
I swear to God.
I used to tell my pops, you know I'm rapping.
My father was like, yeah, you to God. I used to be like, yo, I used to tell my pops, you know I'm rapping. My father was like,
yeah, you're rapping.
He's a hood nigga.
But Spanish,
with a tail,
75 tattoos,
earrings in his ear.
You know what I'm saying?
He's one of those.
He look like Tony Touch.
Yeah, straight up.
Straight up.
Like with green eyes.
He's got green eyes.
It's in my box, right?
So I tell him I'm rapping.
He said, yeah, we rapping.
And I'm like, no, I'm really rapping, bro.
But, like, the point I'm trying to make is,
hey, you smoking Tony Tuss?
Yes.
You just told me no.
Yeah, but now, yes.
Let's go.
We got more, right?
Come on.
So the point I'm trying to make is...
Like, you see who your pops is.
You've seen it.
And now, you're becoming yourself.
Are you feeling like you have to
fulfill his legacy, or are you feeling like
you can keep it going yourself?
I definitely
gotta, I'm an extension of him,
how I like it or not. Yes, you are.
I came out of it. Look just like him.
Yeah, exactly. So, you know,
definitely gotta keep the name alive,
and what he established,
but I'm definitely myself as well. I got my own ideas of how I want to keep the name alive and what he established but I'm definitely myself as
well like I got my own ideas of how I want to live the rest of my life for you
know mistakes that he made that I could learn from as well so yes sir you know
definitely continue with his legacy through doing what I want to do yeah Right. Yeah. Like, the thing about me is,
like, he was, my father was the only Puerto Rican nigga
in the whole six blocks radius, right?
But every black,
my hood is a black hood.
Every black nigga loves my father.
So me,
my whole goal is
everybody love me
or give you a
occupation that you can love
me for, for you to
get to your next level.
And that's what
I'm doing right now. Let's make some noise for me.
My guy, hold on, let me, guys. I spoke to some old men.
My dad,
hold on,
let me tell you.
My dad,
let me tell you. We're nationalities.
I'm going to get
into all that right now.
I feel like you're
like 52 nationalities.
I'm half black
and half Sicilian.
Everybody thought
I was Puerto Rican
for years.
I knew you was Italian.
My dad was the first soul singer with a Latin band.
A very known Latin band called the LeBron Brothers.
In 68, he was singing soul records with them.
They would play the Latin music he was singing in soul.
Then he left them and became his own artist.
But before him, his father, my grandfather,
used to play trumpet for Dizzy Gilles count miles Davis sitting with all them dudes so the
music always been around yeah the music always been around but he was the first
one with a Latin band I was crazy back there I play that music right now for
certain It happens on Dream Champs. Wait, so your Sicilian father was an Alamban?
My dad is black.
So where's the Sicilian side?
My mom's.
Your mom's Sicilian.
Tell you something, you can't understand where Kiki Brie come from.
You just got to respect it.
I just asked you the question.
I understood it.
Just tell me.
I don't think you understand anything right now.
I've been following this nigga for years.
I knew this nigga 17 countries.
And see, another thing, I want to make sure, I want to get one thing clear,
is that, you know, like I said, you know, we do a lot of dates around the country,
and we play for the young and old.
I don't want nobody to sit on here and watch and think that, you know,
you look at me and think I don't know what all the trap joints is
and all the joints is and everything.
Like, we do this every year, every week.
Like, we on the road every week for the young and old smashing everywhere we go.
But a lot of young'uns may heard the name Kickapree
and may not know the Kickapree experience, never been through it,
never know what it is until they see it.
And when they see it, they know it's a whole other level
to what they've probably been used to.
But for the ones that didn't see it, that's what it's about.
And that goes into saying, like, not everybody that come from my era, which I consider myself
Mr. Every Era, but not everybody that come from my era is stuck in an old school way
of thinking.
Okay, let's relax for one second.
Mr. Every Era?
Yeah, absolutely.
That's a great name, though.
That's a great name.
That is hard.
Let's make some noise for Mr. What?
Every Era.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Mr. Every Era.
Got that.
So what I'm saying is that a lot of dudes that come from eras back then,
they get stuck in the old school way of thinking.
And what happens is they don't understand what the 17-year-old or the 18-year-old was doing.
But you were 17 or 18 at one time and your parents was questioning you.
So it's not, when them 17-year-olds and them 18-year-olds and them 21-year-olds make that music,
they're not making it for the grown person.
They're making it for the person that understand what they're doing.
If you happen to be grown and like it, then you like it.
Now, I watch 50-year-olds dance to trap music all the time. At the end
of the day, a hit is a hit. It doesn't matter
what the age is. And this is why I started
the Kick It Pre-Black Party on SiriusXM
Fly. I play
You'll Hear Young M.A. Like I told you,
You'll Hear Young M.A. You'll Hear Al Green.
You'll Hear
Drum.
After that, you'll hear
KRS-One, like,
it becomes that,
it becomes,
putting everything together,
bridging the gap,
instead of saying,
the old is over here,
the young is over here,
and nobody,
cause at the end of the day,
what's good is good,
what's good is good,
that's the Bible,
cause at the end of the day,
when you,
like I said,
that 50 year old going to that party,
when that DJ play that trap,
like,
your ass is on that dance floor,
dancing to it,
but then you gonna talk about to talk bad about the youngins
about what they're doing.
Again, let them do what they're doing.
They ain't doing nothing.
If they was tearing shit up in the street,
then that would be a problem.
They're making music that people understand,
like their generation understand.
Let them do what they do.
Why are you talking bad about it?
You don't like it, don't listen to it.
You ain't got to like it.
Don't talk bad about it. If anything, you get't listen to it You ain't gotta like it But don't talk bad about it If anything
You get a chance to help them out
Tell them the right way
Tell them
You know like
Alright you doing this
Now try this too
Try this too
And put it together
And make an album
That got colors to it
Don't just put something out there
Where it's just one thing
Cause I get a little fed up with that
You hear one album
It's all the same beats
All the way through
Same speed
Same this same
I mean okay yeah
You wanna hear a little bit Variety and shit And I don't wanna hear An album of all features the same beats all the way through same speed same this same I mean okay yeah you want to hear
a little bit of variety
and shit
and I don't want to
hear an album
of all features
like I want to hear you
you know what I'm saying
so everybody got there
what they like
but at the same time
nobody has the right
to tell you
what to make
you make what you
want to make
and if they like it
they like it
who are you to judge it
you know what I'm saying
and that's real shit
it's real shit
make some noise for that You know what I'm saying? And that's real shit. It's real shit. Make some noise for that.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah! Play It, a new podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment, and more.
Play it at play.it.
We're back to Drink Champs Radio with rapper N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.
Now, Tony Toka, what are we doing next for Tony Toka?
Of course.
150 MCs.
Do you want to have a shot?
I feel like you want to say, shot for now.
Maybe that.
Let's do a shot.
Come on.
Yeah, I was checking out the little things.
Yeah, I was figuring out, you know.
You want to go bomb?
No, no, no, no.
I was going to see if I could score one of these guys up there.
Oh. What is that? What's that I could score one of these guys up there. Oh.
What is that?
What's that?
The collection they got going on up here.
We don't know.
You got to relax.
You wait to live.
You wait to live.
That's what happens.
You got to smoke.
That's decoration talk.
I don't know if they deserve that.
When you smoke, you look at these things.
That's decoration talk.
That's decoration.
You can't take the decoration.
You got to relax. Well. It's decoration. You can't take the decoration. You got to ride it.
Well, in any event,
yeah, no, no, I was just admiring
the, you know.
So we're not going to have 150 MCs.
Are we upgrading from 50 to 150?
No, I mean,
that would be kind of ill.
Actually, we've already recorded, like, over 150.
I believe it.
You know, so.
But like Ken said, it's a lot of work, man, like getting people to record and paperwork and this and that.
But how annoying is it?
It's a lot of work.
How annoying is it, Thoka, like, when you want to finish something and you're depending on all artists?
Is artists really annoying?
Let's just throw it out there because I'm not an artist no more.
Yes.
You can throw us under the bus and I'm going to actually cheer it on.
No, not at all.
I say yes.
It's all timing, man, you know?
That's it.
No, it is true.
What you said is right. It's all timing man You know That's it It's just Nah it is true What you said is right
It's all timing
Like everything lined up
Paperwork
Vibes
Record
This that
It just goes
You know
I feel
Sometimes
Artists is a piece of shit
You can say that
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I think sometimes
Depending on who you are
And I'm not speaking
About myself
I'm taking myself To the left But depending on who you are, and I'm not speaking by myself. I'm taking myself to the left.
But depending on who you are, you get a call faster when you're doing something.
You know what I'm saying?
Break that down.
They can get something out of you.
We don't understand anything you just said.
Break it down.
Okay, what I'm saying is, like, if you a certain caliber here,
you ain't going to get the call as fast as this mogul right here
or this dude that sells
this amount of records.
You know what I'm saying? And again, I'm not speaking for myself
because I hardly ask anybody for anything,
but I'm speaking in a general
term. You know, sometimes
the dude that's down here, I remember
one time Eminem said something
to me. He said,
Eminem said something. He said,
don't go and spend
A whole bunch of money
On the artist
That you think
Is going to give you
The hit record
Because you can go
And spend all that money
On that artist
And he won't give you shit
Your record won't go nowhere
And now you done spent
All that money
On this artist
That you think
Is going to give you
Some money
Because he's poppin'
And that's the truth
Redman said
It's about the producer
In your hood
That give you that sound
That makes you be who you be.
Instead of you running to the dude that is popular.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody gets caught in what's popular and not what's authentic.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's what happens a lot of times.
Authentic is the most important word.
Authentic is what's the most important because authenticity is going to give you the business.
They're going to give you What you pay for
When you deal with popularity
Okay yeah we don't want to deal with
Things that's popular but is the popular
Person giving you
Authenticity
Are they giving you your money's worth
Do you feel good at the end of the night
Paying them
You see what I'm saying
Did they bring a whole bunch of people on stage And that's their show You see what I'm saying? Did they bring a whole bunch of people on stage and that's
their show?
You know what I'm saying? What are you paying for?
What are you looking for? Are you looking for
popularity or are you looking for somebody that's going to
get the job done?
I don't know. My way of thinking
is a little different. Maybe
a little different than a lot of people, but
the business is the business and people like
what they like, but I just think that the smart
thing is, is that you cater to the people
that follows what
is the real shit. The real shit is
paying the people that pay, satisfy
them. Satisfy them.
Don't get so caught up in popularity.
Get caught up in what's going to get the job done.
I feel like we got to make noise.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to sound too preachy
But I mean I know y'all
So I'm going to be real about it
And you know that's just the way I see it
If I was a promoter or something like that
I would want to promote on the short thing
That's going to bring me money later on
You know what I'm saying
Not just for the moment
I want to go on with it
You know what I'm saying
So that's what's up
Dogga how you feeling about that?
It's good.
Sticker, give us the thumbs up.
Hey, you know what?

Yo, kid.
Yo, kid.
You've been getting a lot of money for a long time.
That's all right.
Do you...
Listen, listen.
At one point, Jay-Z has to say
he's the greatest guy of all time.
I do.
Do you not feel like you're the greatest DJ of all time?
I mean, everybody's going to feel like they're the greatest.
I ain't say feel like it.
I'll tell you what.
What I've done
to earn the name the world's greatest DJ,
which I didn't give myself,
but what I've done,
I think
pretty great because I was the one that
set the bar to let DJs become a business.
Now, if I didn't do what I did, where would I have went?
You rock on the mic the way you do because Kid Capri did it the way he did it.
You play the records you played the way you play it because Kid Capri set that format.
You became a hot party DJ because Kid Capri gave you the blueprint of how to be a hot party DJ Because Kiki Pree gave you the blueprint
Of how to be a hot party DJ
Let's not get this twisted
You see what I'm saying
A lot of DJs doing what I do
And don't even know they got it from me
And I'm happy for that
I'm happy to sit back and say
I rocked a whole nation
And let a whole nation be able to take care of their family
I remember one dude walked in the mall
Yo kids, because of you I'm not killing somebody Because of you I'm not robbing somebody's house and let a whole nation be able to take care of their family. I remember one dude walked in the mall.
Yo, kids, because of you, I'm not killing somebody.
Because of you, I'm not robbing somebody's house.
I did what you did.
I followed you, and I'm taking care of my family now.
I ain't got to do that crazy shit no more.
You know what I'm saying?
So knowing all the things that I've done,
we can sit here and talk about it all day.
We ain't even got enough time.
But knowing all the things I've done,
sitting back and just realizing when I see somebody on the mic
DJing and they got the setup like
me and they all that and they doing
saying things I might have said or
you know, saying it the way I might say it. It just
makes me feel like, yo, you did your thing, kid.
You did your thing. You didn't just
waste your time. You ain't bullshit. You did
something that really moved culture.
You know what I'm saying? And you also went on tour with the locks right i'm gonna talk to everybody right i've been on 25
tours yeah if you want to talk about deaf comedy jam i've been on that tour for nine years 16 years
i'm sorry 16 years and then and then who else you ain't going to jay-z r kelly jay-z puff buster Jay-Z, Puff, Busta Usher, Drew Hill Shenyuan, Aaliyah
Um
Shit
Bone Thugs
Rock Him
We go on and on and on man
We go on and on and on but mostly
You know I'd be on the road on my own
Doing what I do I've been doing
200 shows since 1991
You know what I'm saying
So it's like
That's why
Like even in New York
Like I love New York
I'm from New York
But I don't like
How New York
Is moving a little bit
Especially when
The promoters acting
Like they the stars
And shit
Like you push yourself
Big on the fly
And you got the DJ down here
Come on
Cut it out B
At the end of the day
You know
When you come to one of my shows
I got My opening is me You ain't gonna hear one record Five times B At the end of the day And you know When you come to one of my shows I got
My opening is me
You ain't gonna hear one record
Five times in my party
You know what I'm saying
You gonna hear it one time
You gonna hear the whole party
Smashing
From the beginning
To the end
Doesn't matter who it is
When I step on that stage
It's pandemonium
Period
From the beginning to the end
And ain't no down period
It ain't no standing around
It ain't nobody thinking they cute
It ain't none of that shit
It's real business
And that's what I do
So I don't know
I don't know how anybody else doing it
I shout to everybody
You get your bread
Do it how you do it
Come to Kick It Pre-Event
You gonna get your business done
And that goes for promoters
That goes for anybody
That paid for a ticket
I think about the people first
For years
I took an artist
A DJ And this is another thing I'm gonna speak about You I think about the people first For years I took An artist A DJ
And this is another thing
I want to speak about
You know
Some of the people
Might not understand
What's the reason
Of bringing a DJ with me
Instead of just having
DJs just go on
I don't like people
Not getting their money's worth
So when I bring
Somebody with me
I'd rather spend the money
For that person
To come out
And make sure
That we're not bumping heads
So that people
That pay their money Is getting a full show Than to have the DJ that want to come in there before me and do what you paid me to do.
You don't need that.
You don't need me there.
If you want to come in there and do that, then you ain't the type of dude that can rock a party with C&D Records.
You would do that depends on the record to be hot.
I play those hot records at the end of the night like I don't even need them because it ain't about those records.
Anybody can play those records. at the end of the night Like I don't even need them Because it ain't about those records Anybody can play those records
It's about you
You see what I'm saying
If you can't sell you
Then you're just like everybody else
And there's nothing different
You know what I'm saying
That's the difference
When you come in there
It's about making sure
The people that paid their money
Feel better than they did
Before they walked in there
And when you leave that scar there
That promoter knows I don't give a shit when you leave that scar there, that promoter knows.
I don't give a shit who you get. Kid Capri,
he shook this shit. Let's go get him again.
Let's go take him into another city.
Yo, my man that you promote, let's go
get Kid. You want to get some bread?
Let's go get Kid. Every show I do
is swollen. Everywhere. And it's not
because of me DJing. It's because of everything
else that come with it. It's professional.
We on time. The people that work with me make sure your shit's going to be right. We's because everything else that come with it. It's professional. We on time.
The people that work with me make sure your shit's going to be right.
We're going to make sure everything is together.
You ain't going to throw me in no corner like I'm some neighborhood DJ.
You're going to put me on stage like I'm supposed to be.
Same way you're going to put Jay-Z on stage.
Same way you're going to put the dude with the hit record on stage.
And I'm going to sell this shit out the same way he did.
And you're going to treat me like you treated him If you ain't going to treat me like that
Go get the next dude to do your show
Because I don't need it, I do 200 shows a year
So this is the attitude I've been having for years
And people may not understand it
But I don't want to be looked at as a DJ
That just play records
You're going to look at me as a force to be reckoned with
And if you don't, I don't need you
Simple as that I do a show with Fer And if you don't, I don't need you. Simple as that.
I do a show with Ferg.
Ferg come on.
His record dropped.
They're going to go crazy.
What I'm going to do after Ferg get off stage?
I'm going to do something that's going to make niggas go crazy.
You're going to say, yo, Ferg ripped it.
Kid ripped it.
Whoever came after him, he better be good.
You follow what I'm saying?
Because that's what it's about.
I'm a DJ.
I'm not the dude that make the record.
I'm not that. I'm a dude that
play your record better than you perform it.
Don't play yourself.
You see what I'm saying? And that's how we're going.
And this is where
we were inspired.
This is what
inspired us right here.
I'm just saying, real shit.
I made my first album. I rapped on the whole album.
Warner Brothers came at me,
I was hot in the street
with the mixtapes.
Yo,
we need you to rap
on the joint set of rhymes
that you sent on your mixtapes
and I'm in there
making the beats in the studio
writing the rhymes right there
and I wasn't trying
to be no rapper,
you know,
but that's what they wanted.
I couldn't do,
I couldn't make hit records
being a DJ
so I had to do it that way
so I did it that way.
When I got a chance
to make my second album, then I got a chance to make my second album,
then I got a chance to just show the production side and get everybody else.
I got Jay, Busta, Lost Boys, Pun, Nori, everybody.
Put them all together and made a soundtrack to the streets.
Now I got top tier.
This is going to be another thing.
And remember, everything I do, no matter how big my name is,
has always been from the ground up.
I sat on that street corner.
I sat on the middle of 145th Street, Nate Favreau, where it was killing, shootings, niggas get robbed, all that.
I sat in the middle of that.
I didn't know if I was going to get robbed or killed by sitting there, by sitting there, just selling mixtapes.
Shits was driving by laughing like I was doing bad.
I used to have to put 14 gold chains on my neck just to look like I was doing good.
Sitting there in the middle of the street
Selling this shit
And the shit took me the way it took me
Now at the end of the day
I didn't know what was going to happen
I knew she was going to blow up the way it blew up
But the shit blew up
Once it did, I made sense of it
I made it happen
And that's it, that just goes to show
Anybody, it doesn't matter who it is
You put yourself in it
Look what y'all
You've been making records forever
That's right
You know what I'm saying
You've been making records
Look where you at now
Whole different lane
It's beautiful
Whole different lane
Right now
Right now
You can sit here right now
The way I'm doing on Periscope
And on IG Live
I sit there
It's not just about the music
And the way
The freaky way I play it
It's the lifestyles
Everything I say to you.
And you're going to believe it.
And the reason why you're going to believe it, because I don't have a credibility of Kid Capri being a shitty nigga.
Kid never shitted on nobody.
Kid ain't never did.
You don't see nothing on the internet with Kid doing foul shit or playing himself or talking crazy.
Everything is authentic.
So you're going to believe what I tell you.
If I say something foul about you, they're going to believe it.
They're going to believe it because they know I don't say nothing.
Same thing.
You have a lane now that you can tell people, you know, believe me.
Believe what I say.
This is the truth.
This is what's going on.
And as long as you stay like that, people are going to follow you.
You drink chances to shit.
Let's get it straight.
Talk about it.
Drink shit.
That's why I'm here.
Talk about it.
Let's get it straight. Drink shit. That's why I'm here. That's why I'm here. Let's get it straight.
I'm on vacation.
I took a vacation because I've been working my ass off.
I've been offered to do shows and parties
and all that shit.
He offered me money to do a show.
I took nothing. The only thing I took was
drink champs. The only thing
I took because
this is my dude.
This is what my wife tells me when I do something
good.
Aw.
Aw.
No, thank you.
No doubt, man.
I love you, too.
I love you, too, man.
Same thing.
Right up.
Ferb sitting here like,
Dad,
this is a classic.
Listen, Ferb,
this is a classic episode.
I'm happy to be a part of it.
We have it out here, bro.
Now, what are y'all niggas
going to do
in the ASAP camp
to take control
of New York?
We,
depending on you, we, we,
depending on you,
Rocky,
and all y'all to take over for us
because I don't want
to rap no more.
I'm okay.
I'm ready.
Man,
I think it's bigger
than rap though,
man.
I think it's,
we need y'all niggas
to take over.
No,
we're going to rap.
We're going to take over, but I think it's bigger than rap because the last thing we think it's... So we need you niggas to take over. No, we're going to rap. We're going to take over,
but I think it's bigger than rap
because the last thing we need...
Can I break it down
a little bit more
so you can hear it?
Because you know what?
We're from New York.
We're all from New York.
All of us.
No, I'm from Miami.
No, you're from New York.
I'm from Miami.
You and me, motherfucker.
I'm Miami, motherfucker.
In your fucking mind,
you're from New York.
I'm from Miami.
Born in LA. Miami, motherfucker. All right fucking mind, you're from New York. I'm from Miami. Born in LA.
Miami, motherfucker.
All right.
But for New Yorkians, right, we need y'all to step up.
Right.
Right?
Some people look at y'all sounds.
Some people look at the movement and they say, ah, it's different.
I'm not one of those guys.
I'm one of those guys that... I think different is good. That's what I'm not one of those guys I'm one of those guys
I think different is good
That's what I think
I think different
Open up more doors
Absolutely
Now
Now
The torch is really
In you guys hands
Right
Like I mean
For real for real
Right
Like I mean
It doesn't matter
How many records
Fat Joe will make
Busta Rhymes will make
Nori will make
Ja Rule will make
DMX will make
50 Cent will make
Right now
Y'all the new generation
Right
It's actually
Really in y'all hands
Right
I'ma slide a beat to them
Yeah
We know we can't
Something heavy too
Can't wait
Something heavy But now't wait Something heavy
We just gonna keep being us
And keep
Continuing to
To innovate
And push culture forward
I think
You know I don't
I don't like to talk about myself
Or what we do
As far as a group
But
I think that like
We
We did a lot for the youth the underground internet scene that was
trying to break through and um you know Harlem didn't have or New York didn't have a voice in
a long time so you know we don't only just speak for New York we speak for the culture period
now for New York I have like a whole crazy love about New York.
You know what I'm saying?
I love Harlem and Def.
I love Brooklyn.
I love Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island.
So it's just like most of my videos are shot in New York.
And when I do that, when I bring them cameras around,
I'm giving kids the opportunity to jump in front of that camera
and do what you do.
Show them your talent. Show them what you do because that's what I
was doing when them cameras was coming around.
God damn it.
And also,
and also,
I love being in the city. I love
being in the city because
I love when I see you in
the neighborhood or when I see Cam in the neighborhood or when I see Cam
in the neighborhood or Jim Jones or
you know, these guys. It was like
something to look up to
and aspire to be.
I just gotta ask that because
the legends
from y'all hood is Jim Jones
and Cam.
But it feels like Cam is co-signing
y'all. But it's
a certain energy that comes.
Am I bugging?
What do you mean?
It feels like Cameron is
signing ASAP. But maybe
every time when Jim Jones comes up
it's a certain energy that's not good.
Am I bugging? People tell me I'm bugging.
Nah, I just shot a video.
I mean, I didn't just shoot a video with Jim Jones, but, you know, Jim showed love from
jump.
He knew my pops and knew my family.
Yes, he does.
I knew Jim actually before I knew Cam.
Wow.
And Jim gave me, and this is when I was designing, and he was actually, like, doing, like, the
B.B. Simon belts, and he introduced me to B.B., and, you know, this guy actually, like, doing, like, the B.B. Simon belts. And he introduced me to B.B.
And, you know, this guy is, like, meeting up with Stan Lee, the designer of Spider-Man and all of that.
And, yeah, like, he just put me in places I wouldn't have been myself.
So shout-outs to Jim for that.
You know, some people are just, I don't know, like, some people are just more outspoken than others.
And, you know, Jim is just, Jim helped me.
Shout out to Jim.
But that's what's up.
We need to hear that.
Exactly.
The OGs need to hear that.
Yeah.
Shout out to Jim.
And shout out to Cam as well.
Like, you know.
And Jewel Santana, god damn it.
Yeah, and Jewel.
And everybody from Dip the Mask, god damn it.
Everybody from Harlem.

A record that Dre wanted to do for a long time,
but Slick Rick was locked up
So when he got out I was doing my album
And I ended up getting new
So I did Slick Rick in the Bronx
And then I went to LA to go do Snoop
Right
So me and Snoop in the studio
I said I'm going to bring some weed to Snoop

So, yeah, that's it.
Now we got the peer pressure.
It's the worst.
It's the worst.
Let me tell y'all something.
I'm going to tell y'all something.
It might seem like I'm saucy.
It might seem like I'm drunk.
But let me just tell y'all something. Tell us something. And it might seem like I'm saucy. It might seem like I'm drunk.
But let me just tell you something.
Tell us something.
Hip-hop is the best thing that we should ever celebrate.
Because it's something that we created as black, young Latinos, blacks, whatever.
Nationalities doesn't even matter.
It's what we created As people We sat back
We were poor
And we created something
And
The crazy shit is
The biggest thing I ever
Learned
From Leo Combs
Was when
I'm at the polo lounge
with this guy.
He's like,
I want drink champs.
I said, relax.
What do you want to do
with the drink champs?
Relax.
Let me finish.
And he was like,
I want it.
And I said,
relax.
And he doesn't know why he wants it
But the thing about it is
What he did tell me why
Is he's like
I can't believe hip hop celebrates hip hop
He's been down since Run DMC
With Sniffin' Coke Angel does He's been down since one DMC Was sniffing coke
Angel does
Hip hop don't celebrate hip hop
The reason why these guys are
They running around
Because they
Back then these niggas really had beef
Back then
Back then they would do three shows
Because they had to move.
So when he sees this and he says
you guys are celebrating
hip hop
and winning
it's crazy to him.
Just take a hit.
I just did.
Fuck you.
Let me tell you something though. I just came back from South by Southwest

And it got so popular that my man Ron Mills from SiriusXM and Dion from SiriusXM.
SiriusXM Fly asked me to come
And do my thing
Because I didn't want to go on the radio
And be told what to do
That's why I ain't been on the radio
I come and do my little guest appearances
On whatever station
But I didn't want to be locked in those stations
Because I didn't want nobody to tell me how radio should go
So I started a show on Sirius XM
Because they came to me and said
Kid you know what you're doing
This is going to make it happen
So I got a six hour show
Where I be a personality
From four to eight

Hi, I'm Sarah Spain, host of Good Game with Sarah Spain, and the co-author of the new book, Runs in the Family, an incredible true story of football, fatherhood, and belonging.
Written with and about Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach, Dillon McCullough.
It's the story of a football coach and father of four who sees his life forever changed by
the unsealing of his adoption records. And it's got a twist you won't believe.
Based on the viral ESPN story I did a few years ago,
this book will blow your
mind and bring you to tears. Buy Runs in the Family wherever books are sold. This Pride Month,
we are not just celebrating, we're fighting back. I'm George M. Johnson, author of the most banned
book in America. On my podcast, Fighting Words, I sit down with voices that spark resistance and
inspire change. This year, we are showing up and showing out.
You need people being like,
no, you're not what you tell us what to do.
This huge need is coming down on us.
And I don't want to just survive.
I want to thrive.
Fighting Words is where courage meets conversation.
