Starting point is 00:06:40 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?
Starting point is 00:06:58 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:29 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.
Starting point is 00:07:44 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.
Starting point is 00:07:58 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
Starting point is 00:08:09 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
Starting point is 00:08:15 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
Starting point is 00:08:24 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$AP Ferg. Yeah, yeah, come on. You totally took a drink off.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Maybe we're going to take shots too. Now, who was the first DJ to play an A$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.
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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

Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:09:50 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
Starting point is 00:10:06 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
Starting point is 00:10:24 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?
Starting point is 00:10:49 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
Starting point is 00:11:21 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?
Starting point is 00:11:39 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.
Starting point is 00:12:02 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:40 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,
Starting point is 00:12:54 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
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:28 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:01 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.
Starting point is 00:14:11 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?
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:41 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?
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 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.
Starting point is 00:15:41 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

Starting point is 00:16:02 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.
Starting point is 00:16:10 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.
Starting point is 00:16:19 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
Starting point is 00:16:29 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.

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,

Starting point is 00:22:49 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.
Starting point is 00:23:10 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
Starting point is 00:23:16 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.
Starting point is 00:23:28 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
Starting point is 00:23:50 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
Starting point is 00:24:00 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
Starting point is 00:24:07 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
Starting point is 00:24:17 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.
Starting point is 00:24:26 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.
Starting point is 00:24:46 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?
Starting point is 00:24:59 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?
Starting point is 00:25:06 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.
Starting point is 00:25:16 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?
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:59 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.
Starting point is 00:26:15 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.

Starting point is 00:28:38 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?
Starting point is 00:28:56 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

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
Starting point is 01:36:17 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
Starting point is 01:36:28 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
Starting point is 01:36:35 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
Starting point is 01:36:43 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.
Starting point is 01:36:54 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
Starting point is 01:37:05 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
Starting point is 01:37:14 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
Starting point is 01:37:25 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
Starting point is 01:37:39 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
Starting point is 01:37:54 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
Starting point is 01:38:07 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
Starting point is 01:38:18 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
Starting point is 01:38:25 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
Starting point is 01:38:42 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.
Starting point is 01:38:54 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?
Starting point is 01:39:14 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.
Starting point is 01:39:34 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?
Starting point is 01:40:02 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,
Starting point is 01:40:30 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.
Starting point is 01:40:46 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
Starting point is 01:41:12 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
Starting point is 01:41:29 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
Starting point is 01:41:38 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,
Starting point is 01:41:45 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
Starting point is 01:42:09 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.
Starting point is 01:42:33 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,
Starting point is 01:43:02 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.
Starting point is 01:43:22 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.
Starting point is 01:43:35 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?
Starting point is 01:43:44 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.
Starting point is 01:44:02 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
Starting point is 01:44:25 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,
Starting point is 01:44:41 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,
Starting point is 01:45:17 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
Starting point is 01:45:36 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,
Starting point is 01:45:49 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
Starting point is 01:46:00 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.
Starting point is 01:46:21 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.
Starting point is 01:46:49 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.
Starting point is 01:47:03 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.
Starting point is 01:47:25 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
Starting point is 01:47:50 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.
Starting point is 01:48:05 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.
Starting point is 01:48:21 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
Starting point is 01:48:47 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
Starting point is 01:49:03 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,
Starting point is 01:49:13 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,
Starting point is 01:49:18 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.
Starting point is 01:49:30 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.
Starting point is 01:49:44 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
Starting point is 01:49:52 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
Starting point is 01:49:59 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
Starting point is 01:50:06 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
Starting point is 01:50:15 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
Starting point is 01:50:21 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.
Starting point is 01:50:58 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.
Starting point is 01:51:15 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?
Starting point is 01:51:26 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.
Starting point is 01:51:36 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
Starting point is 01:51:52 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.
Starting point is 01:52:13 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.
Starting point is 01:52:37 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
Starting point is 01:52:48 Paperwork Vibes Record This that It just goes You know I feel Sometimes
Starting point is 01:52:55 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
Starting point is 01:53:03 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.
Starting point is 01:53:15 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
Starting point is 01:53:36 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
Starting point is 01:53:48 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
Starting point is 01:53:55 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
Starting point is 01:54:00 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?
Starting point is 01:54:13 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
Starting point is 01:54:33 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?
Starting point is 01:54:50 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
Starting point is 01:55:06 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.
Starting point is 01:55:22 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
Starting point is 01:55:37 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.

Starting point is 01:58:32 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.
Starting point is 01:58:55 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
Starting point is 01:59:16 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.
Starting point is 01:59:33 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
Starting point is 01:59:47 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.
Starting point is 02:00:03 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

Starting point is 02:00:48 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
Starting point is 02:00:56 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
Starting point is 02:01:03 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
Starting point is 02:01:12 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
Starting point is 02:01:21 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

Starting point is 02:01:40 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
Starting point is 02:01:49 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
Starting point is 02:01:57 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.
Starting point is 02:02:10 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
Starting point is 02:02:28 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
Starting point is 02:02:39 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
Starting point is 02:02:54 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.
Starting point is 02:03:12 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
Starting point is 02:03:30 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.
Starting point is 02:03:47 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.
Starting point is 02:04:01 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.
Starting point is 02:04:14 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
Starting point is 02:04:27 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
Starting point is 02:04:35 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
Starting point is 02:04:42 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.
Starting point is 02:04:58 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.
Starting point is 02:05:24 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
Starting point is 02:05:38 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
Starting point is 02:05:49 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
Starting point is 02:05:56 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.
Starting point is 02:06:05 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.
Starting point is 02:06:25 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.
Starting point is 02:06:40 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.
Starting point is 02:06:51 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

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,
Starting point is 02:08:05 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.
Starting point is 02:08:16 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.

Starting point is 02:08:37 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

Starting point is 02:09:30 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
Starting point is 02:09:40 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.
Starting point is 02:10:08 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.
Starting point is 02:10:31 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
Starting point is 02:10:47 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
Starting point is 02:11:06 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.
Starting point is 02:11:22 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.
Starting point is 02:11:37 And Jim gave me, and this is when I was designing, and he was actually, like, doing, like, the 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.
