Garnishing your ham with pineapple?
Pair it with a delicious Chardonnay to make their taste buds swirl.
Deviled eggs are even better when paired with a light, dry wine like a bubbly Prosecco or a Pinot Grigio.
For me, nothing beats recommending a great wine.
And with such an extensive selection, I can help you find the perfect one in your budget.
Whether you're hosting or just bringing the wine,

EFN I gotta
I gotta explain
to you
What about weed?
No no
not about weed
but there's a
certain thing
of joints
and blunts.
Right.
If you grew up
in the 90s
and you were
shooting niggas in the 90s you wanna stick with blunts. Blunts yeah. Philly blunts. Right. If you grew up in the 90s and you were shooting niggas
in the 90s,
you're going to stick with blunts.
Blunts, yeah.
Philly blunts.
Body masters.
Is that fucked up?
Is that...
You know why?
You know what we forget?
Snoop's album.
Snoop said
to keep that blunt
in your back pocket
because Doggy Dog
was all about the zigzag smoke.
Which is the white boys.
I can't roll joints. 1993 when I didn't
know exactly what the fuck
that was. It's the papers.
Yeah, so, and I've had that argument
with Dog himself because
he's like, yo, yo, chill out, chill out
with the Gatorade cups. I just told you.
And I smoked blunts and he's like, nah
dog, you originally said
to keep the blunts in your pocket.
So what's that right there?
I had to call him out on that shit.
That's the raw cones.
This is a paper right here.
This is straight up call right here.
This revolutionized it, like not having to roll it.
I disagree with you, but continue.
Now just grinding it up and stuff the weed down.
That's a game changer. You know what's one of the worst things I've seen on the internet?
And it's not you.
It was your boy, Wiz Khalifa.
Okay.
And he kicked a dude out his session
for smoking a blunt.
I was offended.
I'll tell you what.
Studio session.
Yeah, studio session.
Not a smokehouse session.
I never was that militant.
You ain't that militant.
What's your homeboy's name?
Cornerboy.
Yeah.
That's my nigga.
He smoked blunts all day long.
He smoked blunts, man.
Hold on, let's make some noise
for Cornerboy. Where is he at? Yeah, now. Where is he at?. So blood is not not good. Let's make some noise the corner boy
Smoking blunts right now man. So we never put nobody out. I mean I can't smoke the weed with you
It's like any time I run in the light like Wayne and do the same shit
Like that's my boy for years and years and years But he's like nah dog smoke a balloon
And I'm like that's not what I do
So I can't do it you know what I'm saying
I haven't smoked one in so long that I'm sure
Something medical would happen to me
Yeah you bugging out
Something would happen to me
I'm sure I can't do it
So you just mentioned Wayne right
Now it immediately brings me to you being signed
To the 504 boys
You being signed to Cash Money You being signed to the 504 boys. You being signed to cash money. You being signed to also young money. Correct.
The first one on the first signings. Before we go in further.
If you see right here, the Surgeon General.
Yeah, yeah. He's serious about this.
The government is concerned. But did you see the footage when Wills kicked the dude out?
I don't know about that. I don't like that. What I know about this is this is a pack you smoking. But did you see the footage when Wiz kicked the dude out? I don't know about that.
I don't like that.
What I know about this is
this is a pack of papers.
Let me look at that.
There's no surgeon doing it?
The surgeon general
is not concerned
that I made that.
It's certified organic.
The government
is like,
yo,
does he have a point
in my pocket?
They said it's a Kmart.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
Come on, Curvesy.
You're making me learn shit.
Yeah, I'm just telling you.
We don't want to learn shit here.
I'm just saying, not one pack of paper.
Zigzag, Easy Wilders.
But how does a guy from New Orleans even become a stoner?
Because you guys are known for killing people.
Yeah, well, that's a stressful situation.
Every time I've been to New Orleans back in the days,
you guys were killing somebody.
Even on the strip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Even your coffins is above ground. There's going to be more killing somebody. Even on the strip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even your coffins
is above ground
because there's going to be
more coffins.
It's a fact.
The ghost is still
killing motherfuckers.
I think that's how
I found a relationship
with really good weed.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it settled everything.
You know what I'm saying?
You can't really sit up
and think about
what's going on that much.
I'm trying to smoke it off. And about, like, what's going on that much. Right.
I'm trying to smoke it off, you know?
And then you realize that it's better on that end than the other end, and you're never sober again.
Right.
And that's just that.
And were you ever signed to Master P?
Was that?
Yeah, man.
Definitely signed to Master P.
How are you the guy that signed to Master P and Cash Money?
Yo, you know what?
Well, I did it all, you know, in good spirit, you know, in each situation.
Good choice of words.
Yeah, man.
Each company.
Are we going to make some noise for good spirit?
Yeah, make some noise for good spirit.
Yeah, let's make some noise for good spirit.
Each company respected, like, what moves I made at the time, you know.
Each time I stepped out,
it was to do something independently.
No limit first.
That's a P.
2002, around 2002.
Even before that.
You know what I'm saying?
Before it got to be paperwork,
I was no limit first just from being a kid.
Around them.
With C-Murda and everything else,
just being a little homie.
Then when it got to the points,
so what exactly do you do?
You know what I'm saying?
Were you around when they filmed
Bowdy Bowdy and all that?
Yeah, I was around
for a lot of that shit.
I was in, like,
still Bowdy
when they did a,
it wasn't as classic
as Bowdy Bowdy.
Right, right, right.
We don't remember that.
But I was in it
for like a brief second.
They did a still Bowdy?
Like, still Madden?
Don't go digging it up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's all right.
I got a movie
that I don't want you to look up either. The Surgeon General. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all right. I got a movie that I don't want you to look up.
The Surgeon General.
Don't go digging it up.
Surgeon General, there's a warning on the side.
I don't listen to Surgeon General, as you can see.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, you don't.
So you were signed to No Limit first.

And then Cash Money and them is from
Juvie was from Magnolia
Juvie from the Magnolia
Juvie and Turk from the Magnolia
And then what was Cash Money Project?

Baby was off the street
Was off like Valance where BG was
So really it's just not the Callio And what's the name of that? was there, but Baby was off the street. It was off like Valance, where BG was.

And what's the name of that? What ward is that?
That's 13th. Valance Street.

in New Orleans, in the Magnolia Project,
thinking that I was from the Magnolia Project
The relationship I had like

Let's keep it high.

I'm on the bus.
You know what I'm saying?
We was playing like
pickup basketball outside.
Fucking run on the bus
to get something to drink.
Now I'm straight on that.
Yeah, I'm going to try.
This one,
the Hawaiian Punch,
they came out
with different colors,
blue and purple
and all this shit.
So they had the purple one
in the purple mason mix.
All right? It's fucking the six pack of them bitches. I don't know what to and all this shit. So they had the purple one in there. Purple, amazing mix. All right?
Whoa.
Fucking the six pack
of them bitches.
This nigga
took,
he poured up
the whole six thing
and then put them
back in the rings.
So they look like
harmless purple
Hawaiian punches
in the fridge.
So I ran in
basketball thirsty
and fucking
downed one of them bitches
like standing in the hallway
of the bus, just killing it. And he came on the bus and was like, oh Lord. Cause he know
I don't fuck with you. Like, you probably about to die. He's like, you probably about
to die, nigga. Because I had drunk the whole thing. And he was like, you didn't, you didn't
feel like the difference in the Bible. He turned another one upside down to show me,
you know? So it was all stuck to the bottom of the shit.
So I was like, oh, you know.
So we was watching Hostel.
We hadn't even left New Orleans yet.
It was on our way to Miami.
Watching Hostel in the parking lot of the fucking mall.
Hostel, that's the...
The movie that was...
They take the family.
They was killing you.
They cut your eyes off and shit.
And I fell asleep.
And I thought I was up.
Did you wake up with your eyebrows on?
Check it out.
Check it out.
I thought I was watching a movie.
And then Mac was like, bro, go lay it down, man.
You look ridiculous.
I was like, all right.
So I went to the rack.
And I woke up in Miami on the bus by myself.
You know you can't park buses by the hotel,
so I was sitting in some open parking lot somewhere off the beach,
and nobody even knew I was there.
They just left me on the bus.
I was like, yo, we really were scared.
We left you because we kind of thought you might have been done.
Did they leave the TV on at least?
Yeah, fucking.
So since then, you haven't fucked straight?
Yeah, because I don't even remember
Nothing about it
But you don't drink green lean
And you can't sleep 18
Now like
You're not supposed to do that
Like I slept from New Orleans
To Miami
To Miami
And the bus
Everybody like left the bus
I'm just on that bitch
Still asleep
So that was my lesson
You wanna hear my first like
You did this shit too
No no
Yeah I did it
But I'm not talking
I'm not getting into get into that part.
What do you mean?
This is drink time.
I went to Japan like years ago, right?
I mean, this is so long ago, right?
And it was an eight-baller MJG.
Nobody, they never, they didn't even call it syrup at the time.
So we out there and we can't find no weed.
This is the first time me and Capone ever fought.
Like we fought.
Fist bump?
Yeah.
We paid like $500 for a 50 bag and whatever, right?
So we were A-ball MJG, so they're like, yo, we don't need weed, nigga.
We got this.
This is better than weed.
And I looked at this nigga.
So the crazy shit is I didn't fuck with it, right?
But coming back home, Capone could tell you
Yo
The lady

The lady goes to us
And she knocks on us
She says
Yo

No Surgeon General.
So Currency,
you from the murder capital. I've been in
your city so many times and turned on your news and said never again
Like, hell no
It's pollution
I will never come outside if I watch your news
While I'm in the city
I watch your news when I'm not in the city
Because it's like, damn, these niggas crazy
But, Currency
I'm going to ask you a question
Where is your brother?
He should have never forgave Kanye for those statements.
Did he?
Question with a question.
I didn't know that he did.
I saw that he did this thing.
Because I didn't know what was going on.
But it's not over.
I just saw what he did.
And then that made me be like, what's going on?
You know what I'm saying?
But I don't know that he apologized. like, what's going on? You know what I'm saying? But he kind of like.
I don't know that he apologized.
No, who apologized?
Nobody.
Nobody did.
You just.
I thought you just asked me if my brother apologized.
But what I'm saying is.
Like the public thought like Wiz forgave him.
Wiz should never forgive him.
All right.
Well, I don't know if he did.
But will Wiz ever forgive him?
Don't think so. I don't know. I'm. Will Wiz ever forgive him? Don't think so.
I don't know.
I'm not with him.
I'm going to take a shot for that.
God damn it.
So I answered that if I didn't want to answer it.
You answered it.
Yeah.
I'm probably just going to answer stuff.
Okay, I got another one.
You ready?
Yeah.
This is for no one to get drunk.
No, this is definitely backfired on me.
Yeah, it backfired.
I didn't even know where you were going with it.
Nah, it's all good.
Wayne has to leave.
Leave what?
He has to leave.
He has to build his own army at this point for New Orleans on his own.
The other side.
All right.
Or he has to stay.
Leave where?
Come on, Curse
You're getting psychological on me
Check it out
Nah, I mean
We're talking about family members
Okay
So what do you feel about that?
What?
Yo, you wildin' out
Wayne's situation
Alright, what situation?
Him, like, having to stand on his own right now It feels like Him having to stand on his own right now.
It feels like he wants to stand on his own.
Yeah.
And should he? Looks like he's
doing that. Looks like he's doing that.
Yeah. You're very smart. I'm supportive.
So I'm going to take a shot because I don't even know why.
Just because you know you
support anybody. Nah, that's my brother.
But what do you think? What do you think
for that personally?
With the situation
At any time
At any time
Because you've been there
Yeah you were kind of
In that situation
Why did you leave
Because I wanted to do
My own thing
Nothing else
I wanted to be Jet Life
Okay
Jet Settlers
I'm sorry
Jet Settlers

Huh
Jet Settler Jet Life Let's make some noise For Jet Setters? Yeah. Huh? Jet Setters, Jet Lights.
Let's make some noise for Jet Setters, God damn it.
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up.
So yeah, I wanted to do my thing,
and Homie wants to build Young Money
in the light of the vision that he has in his mind,
and he can't do it, I guess, under Umbrella.
You know what I'm saying?
He wants to do it on his own,
and that's what my situation was.
That's why we didn't
have no problem.
There's nothing for me
and Wayne to do records
right now because
we don't have no blood.
Like, oh, nigga,
you dipped.
I dipped because
I wanted to do my thing
and once I got my shit
set up,
that's when I reached out
like, let's do records.
You know what I'm saying?
Now, it's nothing
to do shit.
I'm sure that's
what that is, you know?
Now, Dame Dash.
How did that work out?
I had to do my own thing.
I put out...
How did it start?
I got...
Because I seen you
on the internet one time.
Yeah, yeah, I was good.
You was like,
you was like, yo,

from the chains.
I was shooting pool.

Shoot pool for $100 in Atlanta.
A lady calls my phone, asks to speak to me,
and says that she have Dame Dash on the horn,
like want to put Dame Dash on the phone.
So she gives dude the phone.
I don't think it's Dame Dash.
I hang up the phone, and I go back to shoot pool.
He called back, and I'm like,
oh, all right, that's Dame Dash. I walk out of the
pool game, which cost me the 50
bucks that we were shooting for.
I walked out to take the call
and realized there was something

day and laid a grip
on records.
And we put out Pilot Talk 1 and flew to New York the next day and laid a grip of records. You know?

Chill out, sonny.
Just like it was befuddled in that one?
Currency.
You didn't think I was going to deal with that line of questioning.
No, no.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You handled it like an attorney.
You're a great guy.
So, with that being said, from New Orleans, you see what's happening with the...
That's cool.
That's always good.
That's a great song.
That's a great song. That's always good, man. You see what's happening. I'm always good. That's a great song.
That's always good, man.
You see what's happening.
You were signed to Cash Money
and No Limit at one point.
That happened.
But at the height of that beef
when it was beef
You know it never was.
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened but Check it out was. Nothing happened. Yeah, nothing happened, but...
But check it out.
That's why I asked you to project.
You remember?
Because it was the Calio against the Magnolia.
Yeah, but that had nothing to do with that.
So Calio and Magnolia was already at war.
That was just on some other shit.
Other shit.
Regular street shit.
But he repped it.
It was for Calio.
And then Baby repped.
He was in front of Magnolia. He wasn't from the Magnolias.
But he fucked with them niggas.
But P was on the West Coast for a while, too.
Yeah, he was in Richmond.
Yeah, no, I'm talking about when it's in New Orleans.
Yeah, but nah, that wasn't even, it wasn't that.
Because they never did a record together.
I know, it's madness.
And they still, to this day Like They might be in the same club
Say what's up
But
It ain't
Is that deeply rooted
In some hood shit
Is that
It's gotta be something
That I'm not even old enough
To know
Cause I
Cause I've been around
Like everything
You know what I'm saying
And I never been like
Like a little nigga
Who was out the loop
I always
I always was in the loop
You know what I'm saying
And I
And I never got that part of the game
Not once
Like why this never happened
You think it's deeper than rap though
It has to be
You know what I'm saying
Cause there's nothing we know
Cause as kids me and Wayne wasn't that type
And we ain't know why
When I was on Young Money
We talked about it.
He was like, bro, he was like, like, I thought you was cool, but fucking, I don't know, I couldn't fuck with y'all.
Because you were on the other side.
Yeah, but we ain't even know why.
It's just like, well, I'm pretty sure C-Merida don't want me chilling with you.
And he was like, I'm pretty sure I'm fucking juvenile.
I don't want me Hanging out with you And fucking That was just
Two little niggas
Not fucking with each other
Like for nothing
Until they got
A little bit older
And then that's why
That's how we clicked
And did all that shit
That fast
Cause it was like
And was you also
Signed the TRU too?
On C-Murder shit?
When he was trying
To put it together
Like that's how
I got to No Limit
Like both situations
It was just
With No Limit It was because of C-Murray.
That was my homie.
And with Cash Money, it was Wayne.
It was like, well, trying to put Young Money together at that time.
And then it was like, he not wanting to fuck my shit up because he trying to build something.
So he like, we got to do this with them.
You know what I'm saying?
To make sure it be right,
so that's how I was a young money cash,
or anything,
that was him just trying to make sure,
that I got,
like the look I was supposed to get,
but through it all,
even when they set up,
where the cash at,
and all that shit,
and it was fucking turning into,
like something not underground,
like what I wanted to do,
you know what I'm saying,
and when I saw what was about to happen, I just was like, all right, I'm not fucking with it, like what I wanted to do, you know what I'm saying? When I saw what was about to happen,
I just was like,
all right, I'm not fucking with it.
Like, nothing happened.
I just was like,
with all due respect,
y'all could put that energy in
or something else.
I don't want to do this.
And then when...
Because I saw, you know...
So then when was the moment,
because, all right,
you got Young Money,
they just starting out, right?
You leave.
They explode.
I don't know how many years later.
Then you explode.
But you explode on your own.
Did you always
know that what you did was the right thing?
Yeah.
Explain that.
Because I believe
in a higher power for sure
So
You have to
To show that
You gotta exhibit faith
And I couldn't have
You wanna take a shot for that
I couldn't show
Nah
I couldn't have showed
No faith
I couldn't have showed
That was hard
But you said it was hard
It's all up
Yeah yeah come on

Augustine.
My nigga.
Augustine Alcina.

August Alcina.
August Alcina and Lil Wayne.
It was like a dedication to New Orleans because all y'all are former New Orleans.
But at the same time, this was like your radio record.
Atlantic got behind you.
Yeah, and it was weird.
It was nuts because...
You didn't want them behind you?
Nah.
Or you figured out that?
You know, whatever, whatever.
They've always been your distributor recently?
But at the same time, yeah, the last three projects.
After Day.
Yeah. And after Day. Yeah.
And after Universal.
Yeah,
but this time,
like,
when I did this,
when I played that record,
I knew they was gone.
I knew they was
going to fuck with it
because of the components
and the way it was built,
but it wasn't what
I tried to shy away from
because that's actually
my partners.
I smoke with them
niggas all the time,
so that would've happened.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.
Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
This medal is for the men who went down that day. It's for the families of those who didn't make it. I'm J.R. Martinez. I'm a U.S. Army veteran myself.
And I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes
on the new season of Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage
from Pushkin Industries and iHeart Podcast.
From Robert Blake, the first Black sailor to be awarded the medal,
to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice.
These are stories about people who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor
going above and beyond the call of duty. You'll hear about what they did, what it meant,
and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice. Listen to Medal of Honor
on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news
show up in our lives in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding.
But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one.
The demand curve in action, and that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek.
I'm Max Chavkin.
And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith.
Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams,
and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms,
even the signal chats that make our economy tick.
Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is.
So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 bestselling 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.

talking business sports tech
entertainment and more play it at play.it we're back to drink champs radio with rapper nore and
dj efn so e you got something wrong i want to know the influences like early on the music because
obviously you don't sound typical nor did it Well, in New Orleans, we didn't really
have too many outlets for you to know
who was doing music.
I was getting my shit from TV anyway.
So it was like
everything Snoop did, everything that came
out of the West Coast during the 90s
and shit.
Did you guys have The Box
back in New Orleans? Because in Miami, guys have The Box back in the 90s?
Because in Miami,
we had The Box
and that's where we get
a lot of our music from.
Yeah, we had The Box,
but DJ Quick ran The Box.
Whoever was paying,
you had to watch that video
like three or four times.
You know what I'm saying?
So all of that was on.
When Snoop Numb was cracking,
that's when I was looking at
getting my music from the TV.
So that's where
everything came from.
That might be why
I just smoke weed
and just chill out
all day long. You know what I'm saying? It's all good. And he's from everything came from. That might be why I just smoke weed and just chill out all day long.
You know what I'm saying?
It's all good.
He's from the murder capital.
Let's just make some noise for being from the murder capital.
Hey, man.
You want to celebrate something about the town.
No, you got the best catfish I ever had in my life.
There's some food there.
Amazing food.
Mardi Gras.
It's Mardi Gras. It's like the Puerto get talented people. Is Mardi Gras every day?
It's like the Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Is it every day the same year?
No.
Mardi Gras?
No.
Y'all changing.
No.
But they do something every day for the tour.
I don't know.
It's like the first Tuesday or the last Tuesday of some shit.
I don't know how it works.
Come on, Karen.
See, come on.
I don't know because I stopped going because you get your shoes messed up.
Wait.
Oh, you're Jordan's
Because people at the parades
And shit
As soon as I was old enough
To tell my mom
I didn't want to go to the parades
No more
That was the end of
My DeGraw
Because they bring you
To buy shoes
And then your shoes
Get murdered
At the old man
I bet that happens
At drink champs
Yes it does
Yes it does
So fucking
Nah
Not really too much man
I don't really
So you don't even know what day Monty Grimes.
There's titties out.
Can we Google that?
There's titties out.
We got a spot downtown.
Monty Grimes.
There's titties out for sure.
If you got beads, you can fucking get titties for just dangling the beads.
They'll trade you their boobs for the beads.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's cool.
I haven't really participated in the parades But I've traded beats for boobs
Just in walking to get a drink
So I gotta ask you
Between all your deals, right?
You've been with Cash Money
You've been with No Limit
That's two
You've been with Universal for a second
Yeah, but that was part of Cash Money
Well, that was part of Cash Money, yeah
I'm just saying that
Because you said all of them
Like it was like 19 record labels.
No, no.
I've been fucking a lot of record labels
for a lot of years.
I've been on a couple, yeah.
But, um,
what was your favorite
CEO? Like, your
favorite person? We asked that to everyone.
C-Murdo.
Oh, shit.
Yo, that was my first record.
Yo, everybody fucking make noise for C-Murda.
Make some noise.
Let's come on up.
You know what's crazy?
What's crazy is we don't do this on purpose, but it seems like we do a show with somebody
and they bring up something or a person.
And the next show we do, organically, that same person comes up again.
Word.
And that just happened with 2 Chainz.
All right, dig it.
Yeah, man.
I really didn't like that situation.
Right.
How that went down, man.
And I think that that only happened because my mans is in there, in that situation.
And anybody who's been in there, you know,
shit just different. Oh, you're talking about
between chains.
In there.
Yeah, man.
So that mindset,
that's just a different thing.
And I know if he went out,
it wouldn't have never
went down like that.
I'm sure that shit
would have panned out.
Because I fuck with Titty, too.
That's my man.
Nah, man.
That's why I really,
I was like,
damn, you know what I'm saying?
Because see,
that's my boy for sure. Yeah, nah, he was trying to get it. You know what I'm saying? So I'm I really, I was like, damn, you know what I'm saying? Because C, that's my boy for sure.
Yeah, he was trying to get it.
You know what I'm saying?
So I'm sure that, yeah, like, I know I would have been able to,
as soon as it popped, like, man, I could have said that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Let's make some noise for Nori stepping in, though.
Nori stepped in.
Nori stepped in.
I do.
What you call your friends?
The Nori-con.
Slam-a-con.
You're the slam-a-con. Slam-a-con. Word. What happened was, once I, you know,
see Murder, that's my nigga,
we were in L.A.
We were in L.A.
It's the year of the Sorcerer Wars.
Everybody's getting robbed.
So we was out there with machine guns
because we don't play that shit.
Yeah.
We good niggas, but we put it in.
I understand.
We out there with machine guns.
We thought we was ill.
I jump on C-Murder,
but C-Murder like,
come on my bus.
Come on this nigga bus.
I want to show this nigga.
We deep 18 niggas.
This nigga is the cool, calmest, collective nigga in the world.
He said.
This nigga pulled out AKs.
Like, nigga, we got shotgun bullets in here.
Like, I was like, oh, shit.
And then the crazy shit is, 10 years later, 2 Chainz did my Ty Dolla $ign video.
Right.
I remember that.
And it was similar to the same exact moment.
He's like, nigga, you from New York.
Why are we shooting videos in Miami?
That nigga's playing handball.
Because we was playing handball.
Make some noise for that.
God damn it.
We Puerto Ricans.
God damn it.
We Latino.
We play handball, motherfucker.
And then 2 Chainz.
And then I went in 2 Chainz's bus, and he had the same exact gun.
That C-Murder has shown me 10 years later. So when that transpired, I called 2 Chainz like and he had the same exact gun that C Murder had shown me 10 years later.
So when that transpired, I called
2 Chainz like a real nigga.
I said, you can't say nothing back.
Yeah.
That is a lie.
He respected me.
He said it on the podcast.
He said it.
I said, listen, Lee,

Great guy.
We don't know what the information he got.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
He behind the wall.

That's different.
You're thinking different anyway.
It's different.
You got to understand that shit.
I feel you.
You almost can.

York, but still I be hating the Knicks
and fuck Jordan, but still I be whacking
his kicks. This is a fact.
But this is before
I seen that he was actually
a foul nigga. A foul nigga

but not in this situation.
In this situation, he's a foul
nigga. You want to hear the story? I'm going to give it to you

It was quite as kept.
It's free.
So they tell me,
you only bring four people.
I bring 14.
That's what you normally do. The extra 10 shouldn't hurt.
Giant stocks.
We walk in.
They only let seven of us in.
One of my men said, yo, I used
to work here. I know.
We're going to go to the side. So we went to the side. That's the only reason
why I was even near Jordan
because he had everybody away from
him, which is real shit.
We walk in.
We get the guys.
And now, mind you, we're smacking everybody's
drinks in their hands because it's free.
It's a death ban. So everybody
we walked to, we're like, what's up, my nigga?
That's a great part of the story. I love that.
They're like, what up, my nigga?
They're like, what up?
Bang!

Go back to the bar, nigga.
Everything's free.
It's open bar.

Whoever it is, we just walk up to them.
Boom.
So now we're at the back.
So everybody's like, yo, watch them.
They foul.
That's amazing.
And that's the only reason why we was even next to Jordan.
Because they pulled us to the side.
That's the shit.
And then we walked in.
And I swear to God, I'm going to say this story again.
I know I'm drunk right now.
I've always been drunk when I said this story.
Green Chaps.
And when the nigga leaned over, I seen the actual movement.
The nigga leaned over and was like, yo, such and such.
And that nigga said, fuck rap.
I was like, oh!
It's like your father saying,
fuck your mother.
Fuck rap.

Some of y'all are kids raised from
divorced parents. Fuck the whole

He flew to New Orleans.
When he came to kick it, I was like, yo, we got to go and get some shoes.
Let's go get some shit.
We got some like pippins and shit like that.
Then we went to New York, brought him to the flight club.

They don't know I'll drink all of these right here and fucking write an essay for these niggas.
We do have your comfort zone.
They don't even know.
But then you did this.
No, because Puff Daddy be extorting me.
And that's not what I do.
Let me just keep it real.
Puff Daddy be extorting me.

full-fledged
jump into CEO mode?
Yeah. Actually,
I just recently signed
BG's son. You know BG?
Oh, wow.
BG's son, TY, I got him signed to Jet Life

a couple projects on him and try and take
over shit. That's what I'm focusing
on right now.
And that's the next project?
Yeah, well that, I mean,
outside anything I do, that's
automatic, but
I'm focusing on taking care of
T.Y. and Carnivore situations and
putting out retail projects on them.

And that's Wood Atlantic or on your own?
No, that's just Jet Life.
That's just me.

So are you satisfied with Atlantic or you want to say fuck somebody up there?
It's okay.
This is on Dream Chats podcast.
Yo, honestly, bro, I'll say this.
With this last project, that was clear.
You know what I'm saying?
They saw that I did something that they wanted me to do, even though I didn't.
As far as the single?
Yeah, we didn't have that conversation, but just in me knowing some people that were super famous,
I ended up doing something, you know what I'm saying?
So when I did that, they showed up and they did some things, you know what I'm saying?
But me, I'm an underground artist.
Right.
You thrive there.
Yeah, I'm more comfortable just doing, you know what I'm saying?
Like, yeah, for sure being independent.
But you can be an independent artist and have an independent following even if you're mainstream.
Like, Talia Kweli was scientific for a while, too.
That's even, like,
why I figured it would be alright.
But how did you build
that cult following?
Like, I went...
Just not switching up, bro.
What was it?
Revolutions you had?
I just never switched.
I went there.
I went and seen you

a lot of music for free. Being consistent. Being consistent is key. Yeah, like, right now switching and putting out a lot of music for free.
Being consistent.

Not on this previous project.
I don't know if he had a hand.
Nah, he run radio.
Thanks a lot.
He does the radio stuff.
Sam Cresswell.
Probably brought me through a few radio stations.
Probably drove me around the head and I smoked out a fucking rental truck.
Because that's not your thing, like radio?
He probably knows that, I probably don't remember.
I'm always weirded out
on my way to radio, because I think
it's going to be some stuffy situation.
But as of late,
every time I went somewhere, it was somebody
who knew already about my
underground shit, and they were just
happy to see me in there. like happy to see me in there
you know
just happy to see me
in there motherfucker
with a record
that they could
actually play
so that was cool
they were there for you
yeah
but you know
you know where I'm from
and what I'd rather do
so
that's what it is
and that was your first
radio one
like official radio one
yeah
because it hit top 40
right
top 40 is different
yeah
with things going on, yeah.
And like fucking, you know,
you got to go to a radio station anniversary things
and like, you know, the big stage
and do all this kind of shit for so-and-so, you know?
Zingle gels.
Yeah.
They be like, zingle gels.
All that shit was going on.
And the drive sheets and 1,000 fucking things.
I'm kicking it with so-and-so and I'm doing this with whoop-de-whoop, you know? All that shit was going on. And the drop sheets and 1,000 fucking things. I'm kicking it with so-and-so, and I'm doing this with whoop-de-whoop, you know?

Let's make some noise for two dope boys.
Those are my people right there.

So if there's one thing, Currency, that you can change, that you went through,
just one thing that you can just say, you know what?
If I would start that all over, I'll do it different.
Honestly, bro, nothing that was in the game because if I did,
then it wouldn't be like this right now.
It would change this.
Are you sure?
I'm fucking with this.
It might be one thing.
Mm-mm.
Sure.
Nah, everything I did, like, did something.
It might be like you fell and had one in the third grade.
Sure.
Nah, nothing.
See, I would think you were talking about shit that's affecting the game.
But, I mean, I rode my bike through a fucking newscast and I fell.
Okay.
Like riding and trying to get on the news.
Now, how was it after Katrina?
You know what I'm saying?
I want to change that.
But there was nothing in my rap career that I would want to change because it made me this.
You know, but I for sure rode through a newscast.
I think we all had a BMX accident.
And I was saying, there's nothing to see here.
Nothing to see here.
And then the whole time,
and my fucking wheel
went into a fucking drain slit,
like right into the drain, and I
flipped like that, and it was on
the news. They made the
news. while the lady
Was still doing the shit
That shit happened

If that's what it is.
It's a little crazy.
I haven't heard what he's had to say about it.
If anybody's ever asked him about it or anything.
The record I heard, I thought it was him.
Because I tweeted about it.
You thought it was Future?
Yeah, I tweeted about it.
I was like, yo, so nobody told me that that wasn't Future.
And then I realized what it was.
But I like the Zombie Walk record.

Walk record.
We just love everybody. We just want to make noise
to everybody. God damn it, let's make some noise.
I've been having to pee for like 35 minutes.
Come on, make some noise.
Hold on, hold on.
What's the first hip-hop record that you can remember as a child?
The first record that impacted you?
In New Orleans.
Because y'all really kill people when y'all wake up.
Slick Rick's record that I don't remember the name of right now.
You know, now I'm drunk.
Children's Story.
Children's Story.
Oh, okay.
That record.
Yeah.
Okay.
That was the first cover record you heard?
That was the record that fucked with me.
That's going back pretty much.
I heard records.
But he asked me the record that mattered to me.
Yeah, that impacted me.
Let's just rewound.
Dude had Badly's on.
Yeah.
And New Orleans was like bad.
All the drug dealers had Badly's.
I thought y'all was Reebok.
All the motherfuckers that was really getting their pay for them.
No Diodoras?
Yeah, they had Diodoras.
Because we had Diodoras in Miami.
Lido's, Triton's, it was some shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I was like, you know, I was watching what was going on.
But Badlands was a big thing.
And Slick Rick had them bitches on.
And when Slick Rick, I saw Slick Rick with Badlands.
That's a crazy record.
That the big homies didn't have and shit.
And I was like, that's where it's at. You know?
He had like 12 chains.
He was doing that shit
before anything.
And shout out to Slick Rude.
He just got a citizenship.
He got a citizenship.
Let's make some money.
I ain't gonna lie.
I got like two more questions,
but I gotta take a pee-pee.
You can do it. Nah, man. Fuck that no, no, wait. You can do it.
Really?
Nah, man.
Fuck that.
Do those two questions.
Fat Joe did it.
Damn.
Come on.
You know what?
You put it in my head.
He said he had to pee.
He's probably going to throw up because he had fucking six shots of fucking Ciroc with ice.
And he's smoking his Surgeon General blunts.
And he's probably back there trying to fucking get healthy.
That's what's going on with that.
Yeah, that's because there's a warning on this shit.
And that's what did it.
It wasn't the liquor that did it.
It's the Surgeon General warning.
So he's back there dealing with the side effects of smoking fucking blunts.
And I'll just sit here and smoke my paper and just
kick it with y'all.
My show now, man.
Get us some new cups.
Give me a bong and put
fucking smoke champs on it.
Make sure all of this makes it.
Fucking put all this in the fucking podcast.
He left and I
fucking owned the show.
That's that.
I'm for sure glad I didn't bring no fucking car up here.
I wanted to bring the fucking 6.4 up here for y'all, but...
That would have been a disaster.
I'm ready if you ready.
Y'all mean you're in a hurry.
It's your boy NRA.
What up, it's DJ EFN.

Snoop Dogg called me
and said, he said,
I'm going to be the first smoke The Cubs say so. The Cubs say so. Snoop Dogg called me and said, he said, I'm going to be the first Smoke Champs.
But now.
But honestly, can I tell you?
Do you think you can take out Snoop?
Because we're going to go to LA. Snoop crowned me Smoke Champ.
See, the only reason that I said Smoke Champs was because if you can go to Snoop's Instagram
and comb through it, just get the forensics team on it and comb through it.
He posted a picture of me and him against a wall once smoking.
And he was like, every time I go to pass you a joint, you're already lighting another one.
And he posted and he was like, I am with the Smoke Champ. He posted
that. He said,
with the Smoke Champ. And I was like,
alright. Done deal.

I know that because you said he concocted the bathroom before you.
Yeah, I made that up
I'm sorry
No the word is real
It just doesn't apply
Not at all
So can I do this anytime I'm in Miami
Anytime
You know we got 2 million people
I'm lying
Not this time
Let's make some noise.
I was cracking 2 million.
Fucking you.
What is this?
I saw that online.
We had 800,000 for the week.
And we had 200,000 plus for the month.
Hey, yo, stop downplaying.
No, no.
I'm humble, man.
Yo, Charles.
Listen.
When he ain't give you the shirt, we're about to jump this nigga.
Jump me.
I'll shoot.
I'll shoot.
I'll shoot.
Let's make some noise.
Don't let the great be afraid.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's make some noise for us cracking.
What happened?
Two million.
At least 2.2 million.
We made the great shirt.
2.2.
2.2.
2.2.
So let's say 2.2.
Yeah, 2.2.
2.2.
Goddamn make some noise.
We're number one on CBS four weeks in a row.
We beat 60 minutes, nigga.
For the whole month.
Hold on, hold on.
Explain to that man.
Wait, I'm giving him the stats.
We beat 60 minutes, nigga.
Well, yeah, so.
I don't even know what that nigga name is, that whole 60 minutes.
Yeah.
Tell that nigga he finished.
That's fucking shit.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yo, that's fucking... That's fucking... I'm sorry.
That ain't me.
We had 850,000 plus for this past week.
Word.
No, no, no. Not 2 Chainz. From the Memphis Bleak episode.
But I mean, it's collective.
All our episodes. All listens.
And then we had over 2.2 million for the month.
We were number one on all CBS...
Not just CBS.
No, no, no
Music category
Music category been number one on iTunes
For the past four weeks
Make some noise for that
You start the clapping
That's major
That's major
I'm honored to be on here to kick it, man
And it's some unorthodox shit as you can see
Yeah, that's tight, man
That's a fucking big audience That you would share this with me, that's a
fucking big audience, you know, that you would
fucking even share that light with me.
Nah, it's for you. Nah, it's
playa, bro. I just came to smoke a joint with you
and just fuck around, so that's cool.
You ended up drinking a couple shots while you were at it.
Possibly two million people.
Why do you got rubber all over
your lighter? I don't understand.
This is a wick.
It's like some hippie shit. It's some hippie shit. Why you got rubber all over your lighter? This is a wick. What does that mean?
That sounds like some brujería shit.
That's some hippie shit.
You want some rubber.
I was thinking New Orleans, Belize, and brujería.
This is to remove, like, the chance of you using this butane that's in this big lighter.
That's why, like, sometimes I have, like, a clipper.
You know those clipper lighters that don't have the butane in it?
So if you light it, if you light the wick, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, you don't get that feel. Light this, and then you light the wick off the wick.ane in it. So if you light it, if you light the wick, if you, you know what I'm saying, undo it,
light this,
and then you light
the wick off the wick.
And then that way you not,
because if you breathe in
when you're doing this,
you put the butane shit
right into your body.
That's what you got to do
when you smoke.
I don't mean to get all preachy
on you all the time.
But you don't want that fume.
I know you would fucking
do shots of butane
and fucking eat tobacco.
Peace,
dead tigers.
That's cool,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm just trying to help.
It's all good. Just stick
around for a little while.
I still have no idea why he got rubber on his lighter.
But that's currency.
He's from New Orleans. They kill people
every day. All I did was come through
the day and lay it out.
In New Orleans, they kill people every day.
People, you know, the rats.
But he defends all the killings.
Like a perfect attorney.
It's never for nothing.
It's not like, you know,
I got a lot of respect
for what happens in L.A.
because I low ride out there.
I ship my cars out there.
I ride around.
I know that it's like
where people want to ride with
is certain gas stations
we can't stop at.
You know what I'm saying?
And all that shit
is a real thing.
You know what I'm saying?
So I understand that.
New Orleans is not like that
where it's like
you got on the wrong shirt
sold.
Fucking boom, boom, boom.
Out there it's like
something happened.
But it's just so much shit
happening all the time.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just crazy that we take it that they take it to that level. But it's just so much shit happening all the time. You know what I'm saying? It's just crazy that we take it, that they take it to that level.
But it's always because of something.
You're not going to come to New Orleans and just get killed.
It's different.
Because you went to the parade.
It depends on where you're at.
You're not going to get killed because you went to the parade.
With that being said, before we end it.
You did something.
You know what I'm saying?
You did something.
You got smoked out.
Before we end it, totally out.
Right?
I'm going to. You see what's going on? You did something. You got smoked up. Before we ended, totally out, right? I'm going to.
You see what's going on?
The butane.
See?
So now, it's not there now.
The fire is different now.
I ain't going to lie.
You Illuminati.
Nah, I'm totally not Illuminati.
That was all Illuminati right there.
Nah, man.
Yeah, that was all Illuminati.
The butane is Illuminati.
The butane is the poison. The butane is gas, man. You're just breathing that. Nah, man. Yeah, that's all Illuminati. The butane is Illuminati. The butane is the poison.
The butane is gas, man.
You're just breathing that shit in, man.
But, you know, do your thing.
No, I feel you.
Do your thing.
You wrote super does, bro.
He likes Carson Gins.
You can do no wrong.
Yeah.
So, you know what I'm saying?
That shit's filled.
It's all right.
But with that being said, like, and then New Orleans, do you feel like government like ever like repaid and is these
families gonna ever restore in new orleans because i've seen the documentary spike lee
they don't even like there's no there's no place for them to even come back to
they already like a lot of people they have already they set it up how they wanted it to go
like once that shit went down.
So now New Orleans is like a big man.
They've begun their development.
They bought the shit out of those old neighborhoods.
There's candles, there's shit that's going on that wasn't there before.
So you can't even come back to it if you wanted to.
Unless you got the bread to get in that shit.
So do you believe the whole thing about the levees?
That it was a setup?
In all reality, no conspiracy shit.
What do you think as a person that's from there?
It makes sense to me because if they were going to break naturally,
then they couldn't predict where it was going to happen.
And it would have opened and fucking took out the French Quarter or something.
And if that would have happened, New Orleans would be fucked up right now
because there'd be no money coming through.
So they thought about how can we avoid... Like alleviate this pressure
by going that way.
What part of this shit can we give up?
Let's just wash the hoods out right
quick. And that way we can
keep this going and we can build
them something else where they can fucking
do their thing at. And that's what they did.
They gave them some shit.
It ain't what they had, but they
gave them some shit and they took that spot and they ain't what they had But they gave them some shit And
And they
They took that spot
And they doing what they wanna do
Makes sense
Cause I was a friend of the
What was it

She came to the Superdome when they had all the people.
It's poor up.
It's poor up.
Princess Rock.
She was in the Superdome when she said it.
She was not in the Superdome when she said it.
All right.
Watch this.
I do not believe it.
And I'm talking about senior, though.
I'm talking about senior.
Wait, what is senior?
Not the Bush president's wife at the time.
I'm talking about his father, his mother, his grandma, the mother.
Oh, that's who said it.
The mother who said it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was not in it.
Yeah, yeah, all right.
She was not in the motherfucker.
Watch this.
Where's the Ciroc at?
You need to pour his shot for fucking up.
Yeah, yeah, give me Ciroc. Give me Ciroc. All right, here's what she said. Oh, you found it. Cool. Where's the Ciroc at? You need to pour his shot for fucking up. Yeah, give me Ciroc.
Here's what she said.
Where's the Ciroc? Somebody.
She basically said that
so many
of the people in the arena here
were underprivileged anyway,
so this is working very well for them.
And then where she said that?
That they're better off being in the
Super Bowl. Where did she said that? That they're better off being in the Superdome.
Where did she say that?
It doesn't say that.
She said it while in the Superdome.
No, she did not.
It don't matter.
She was in the fucking Epcot Center when she said it.
She did tour the Asheville complex with her husband.
No, but when did she say it?
As part of, hold on.
Man, I don't care where she was at
when she said this shit.
Of course, how's it going to say that?
No, she says it.
Mrs. Bush toured the Astrodome.
When did she say it?
That's where they quoted her from.
Oh, at the Astrodome in Houston.
That's in Houston.
That's not in New Orleans.
That's in Houston.
I said at the dome.
No, no, no. You said the the Dome You said the Terror Dome
You said the Terror Dome
And you know we was talking about
In New Orleans
There was a lot of people
There was a lot of people in the Astrodome from New Orleans
Great story

They fused two different things, medical and military.
Surgeon General.
Do you want me to take two different branches that I can sell to New Orleans?
What?
They say you're never going to move.
I understand, but I'm smoking.
I smoke papers and I came up with a plan.
These blunts, I would have never came up with an idea.
You never hit a blunt in your life?
No, I smoked a few and I got strep throat.
And when I went to Urgent Care, check it out.
I smoked blunts.
I smoked Swish's all the time.
You smoked it right before you?
No.
You was hanging with Reggie Miller at the time.
I smoked Swish's all the time.
Nah, it was gas.
Legitimate.
It was killer.
Nah, 2 Chainz put us down early in the game.
Teddy put us down.
It was late for lean.
Ted put us down early in the game.
I put Teddy down.
Alright, so you know we had it.
So dig it.
But it was Swish's though.
And I had strep throat.
And then the doctor was like, yo, you know, it's not that you're smoking.
It's what you're smoking.
And it was like, if you get some glass or some papers, you'll see a difference.
The doctor was a hippie.
He lied to you.
Nah.
His doctor didn't keep it 100%.
She was a she.
It wasn't him.
I hope she was a she.
Yeah, it was a she.
How can you say the doctor was a he?
He lied to you.
So she didn't lie to me.
Oh, my bad.
Go ahead.
She didn't lie to me.
She was totally legit.
And I don't think she even smoked.
She was just being like fair.
She was being 100%. She was just telling me like, yo, it's a different
way to do it. Right. And here it
is, you know. But, you
know, do your thing. It's not awkward.
The way we ended it.
But we're going to end it. Thank you,
Currency. Thank you for coming through, my nigga.

Yo, I said I'm gonna only interview legends
I want you to tell them niggas why you a legend

But you just
Yo, honestly, man
Because you've been in here so long
I took it all the way down to zero
To bring it back up to a hundred
And there's a lot of motherfuckers
that are scared to do that.
You know?
And I don't really talk about it,
but a lot of people that I respect,
like you, Jay, the kids,
a few people that pulled me to the side
and gave me credit for that very thing.
We love you.
So I know that I pulled it off,
and that's what I hope that,
that's what I have a legendary status for.
