A certain type of respect That you know We're in the same industry You shouldn't date somebody In the industry So I kind of respect that Like I kind of think that If I bring you into this game

Nobody will know you And then now We You should go fuck a wrestler You know what I'm saying So wait Who's this beef with Go fuck

Amigos and Chris Brown But they She should have You know Maybe I'm wrong Cause I like Caruche She's cool Jacob York is a manager

But I see where Chris Is coming from It's like a guy In the same industry Maybe a different Genre of music Because one is rap One is R&B

But pretty much It's the same thing So if Chris is coming From that angle I gotta understand You know what I mean Me personally But yeah

Like I said She should've You know Got a CEO from UPS You know what I mean She gotta relax. But yeah, like I said, she should have got a CEO from UPS. You know what I mean? You got to relax. You got to relax and stay out the energy. But what else been going on in hip-hop?

I mean, you know we had some terrible news in hip-hop. With the passing of Prodigy, a friend of yours. Yes. Crazy shit is. And you know how to pop hot champagne? I think so. Nah. Not with your teeth, sonny.

Please. Well. Let it cool teeth, sonny, please. Well. Let it cool down. The crazy shit is. Come on. Come on. You taping us? What the fuck?

Hey, come on. This is hot. You're not Mr. Lee. You're not Mr. Lee. The sheriff's shooting with a hot pistol, yo. What the hell? No way. So the crazy shit is

For those that don't know I've been filming A food show So when I'm On the run eating I'll blow up I think they want to do the press release So I won't say who or whatever

So They had to get me my dates I think they want to do the press release, so I won't say who or whatever. So they had to get me my dates, the dates that I was supposed to have. So I picked Las Vegas. They came back because it was EDC weekend, the electronic shit. So they told me a lot of restaurants didn't want to give it up because they're going to have a lot of clients and all this stuff, right? So they said, why don't we switch it to New Orleans? And I was like, nah, you know what I mean? I want Vegas.

But as soon as I hung up the phone with them, I was like, I don't give a fuck if you go to New Orleans. Like, you know, but I didn't let them know that. So they kept calling back. I was like, nah, Vegas. I fought for Vegas. Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, Vegas. We thought we was going to have no celebrities there. You know, so the last minute the guy calls me and says, you sure you 100% want Vegas?

And I said, yeah, I 100% want Vegas. But if he would have said, please, just work with me. Let's go to New Orleans. I would have went. But for some reason I said Vegas. Stuck to your guns on that one. Stuck to my guns. Boom. Land out there, come to find out, the Art of Rap Tour is out there. We thinking we got to get out, the Art of Rap Tour is out there.

We thinking we got to get talent. The Art of Rap Tour is out there. So I hit Ray Kwan, and I say, yo, Ray Kwan, I want you to do my food show. And Ray goes, of course, but I want you to do my show. If I'm going to do your food show, I want it set. Right. So the day of the show, Ray must have got caught in the airport or, you know,

his phone. I don't know the exact. So we couldn't get in contact with Ray. So when we were supposed to film him, we replaced Ray and we put Ice-T

in a whole different spot. And we filmed Ice-T that day. And so that night, I was still supposed to perform with Ray Kwan. We still didn't speak to him until that night. Until the next day, I didn't speak to Ray Kwan we still didn't speak to him to that night the next day I didn't speak to Ray Kwan

so it didn't happen so Onyx says to me I because I asked Onyx to put on a food show too no shame they said the same thing Ray said alright cool we'll do the food show but you gotta come out on our set tonight

being that you ain't coming out with Ray I said alright cool right, cool. Onyx came on directly right after Mobb Deep. So here's the deal. I wasn't supposed to be in Vegas. I was supposed to be in New Orleans. Wind up going to Vegas. Wind up performing right after them.

And the crazy shit is I was on the wrong side of the stage so I was one of the last 20 people probably in the world to give Prodigy a 5 real shit the motherfucker

got off stage gave me a 5 Sonny D was right there I got a 5 too so I'm in the top 20 too yup gave up a 5 I'm in the top 20

for real gave up a 5 Havoc gave me the fan five. You know the fan five? You didn't recognize me. You just do the five. And then he stopped. I'm talking about, oh, shit.

And I was like, oh, shit. I was like, yo, Noria. I was like, yo, no excuse. I'm getting y'all both drunk tonight. And Prodigy said, I got you. I'll be back. I don't feel well. And he walked off.

And that's the last time anybody had ever seen him. Went to the hospital. So what I'm trying to tell you is, it was like so, it was almost like God wanted me to see him one more time. You know what I'm saying? We hung out in New Year's. You know what I'm saying? We got to chop it up. We got to put everything in the past. But

it was crazy, man. It was crazy. Because I seen his eyes look white. Now, I can't say that that was a sign because he had sickle cell. He had sickle cell. And the heat was unbearable. Record heat on the whole West Coast. It was 117.

Down in Plains couldn't fly because of how hot it was. Yeah. At 2 o'clock in the morning, it was 109 degrees. Yeah, record heat. 2 in the morning. It was like I never experienced anything like that. I think at one point in the day, it hit 124. Oh, yeah. At one point in the day. Yeah. It was like I never Experienced anything like that I think at one point in the day You hit 124 Oh yeah it was bad

At one point in the day It was bad So we want to say rest in peace You know what I'm saying To Prodigy man Everybody let's just all chill Have a moment of silence Real quick

Rest in peace P You know what I mean You know so we You know We at Drink Champs We gonna celebrate His life You know So we You know We at Drink Champs We gonna celebrate His life You know what I'm saying

As if we wasn't before Because we were We celebrate all our Hip hop artists I see Master P That was a thing And people are tagging us on that And people are tagging us on it

Because Master P said Damn you know Like You gotta give these people Their flowers So they can smell them Which is something That you've been saying

And that's been the slogan The whole time, you know what I mean? And that's true. Like, that's what Drink Champs is. It's like, you know what I mean? To me, Kara's one of the best artists in the world. So when I said that on Drink Champs, I wasn't, like, playing around or trying to, you know, big up something that I don't believe in. And you say you got ice coming?

Man, I need to pop this though now. You got skills? You sure? I don't know if I got the skills. Just don't point it this way. If you ain't got the skills, I'm not sure. So, yeah, I love doing Master P. You got to hold it down.

It's very, it's very, it's very. Hold up. For anybody who didn't see the Master P thing, let's explain. He was upset because BET did... I don't even know much of what they did. I think BET changed the award show just for him. And he was saying that maybe if this would have been a month ago, a week ago, Prodigy wouldn't be allowed even to go to the BET Awards.

That's fucking true. I thought that myself. So he's basically saying what our slogan is here is... Honor and pay homage to the legends and give them their due respect. While they're alive. Go ahead, Garcia. Go ahead, Garcia. Showing off out here.

That's what I'm talking about, Garcia. Very proud of you, by the way, Garcia. Garcia 205. Knocking out videos and all that shit. What's Garcia's Instagram again? At Garcia's World, right? At Garcia's World. Make sure you see him.

He's coming up in this world. He's about to be the next Hype Williams Cheese Louise Papa Cheese Let's do it But yeah I loved what Masterpiece said I thought that he represented hip hop He did

Correct He did He said it from the heart too I thought he represented hip hop Right And I thought I thought I thought that

That's kind of a bad thing Where That's the thing about it. When I seen all of the love and respect that he's receiving, I just couldn't help but think that, damn, man, maybe... I think also it was a shock because it was so unexpected. Very unexpected. Hip-hop was just shocked by it.

Right. We didn't expect something like that to happen. And maybe in other cases, not in all of them, It was so unexpected. Very unexpected. Hip, like, hip-hop was just shocked by it. Right. You know, we didn't expect something like that to happen. And maybe in other cases, not in all of them, but in some cases, you kind of saw it come in. Or someone might have been living reckless and something happens. That wasn't the case with Prodigy. All right. Nah, man.

Nah. Nah. So we're going to try to call a couple of people, you know, a couple of people from the industry. And we'll see who picks up, picks up you know what I'm saying but we gonna celebrate his life tonight definitely let me have a drink

I should've got Pinot Grigio that's what I used to always drink with him you got can you pop it you up yeah friend

you been on your beer shit heavy lately I know and the beer belly is showing you know cross fat cross fat son

yeah so we'll try another call and I was fucked up when that shit came out yeah You know That cross fat Cross fat son Yeah So we'll try another call And I was fucked up When that shit came out Yeah The social media Was flooded with just R&P prodigy

Everybody in the account Right I don't follow that many people But everybody had an R&P account I mean R&P Shout out Which is a great thing Usually

I'd be upset With social media Just You know kind of people following the trends. But it felt real genuine. Like, everybody reacted and hit it. That's what I felt about BET, though. I think it was different in terms of how it happened in social media. You know, obviously, there's a bunch of people who just follow it. I haven't been invited to an award show since 2001, brother.

Was that the source awards that we went to? No, no, that was it. Before that Yankee? Yeah, that was it. That's 2004, right? That was here in Miami. That was it. That was the last awards show I've been invited to.

So if something happens to you, will you accept it? He doesn't even knock on wood. He knocks on marble. This guy is fucking terrible. You got to relax. Would it be okay for the show to give you props? I mean, or say something? What the fuck, Paul?

What are you talking about, Paul? You're so morbid, man. Paul. Paul. Paul. What, do you want him to write his obituary for you right now? We got to relax, Paul. We got to relax.

Paul, man. Listen, man, the thing about it is this. It's not bad to give a person props when he's gone. It's bad that you didn't give him the same amount of love when he was here. That's the point we're trying to make. The point you're trying to make is, yeah, the artist, it's like, you ever seen a person's obituary when they're at the

funeral? They describe him as this perfect guy, even though he's not a perfect guy. But maybe if somebody ever told that guy that those thoughts that he felt, maybe this guy wouldn't be in this position. And that's just the things that we got to do in hip-hop. We got to start praising our legends.

We got to start putting Kool Herc and KRS-One and Rakim. I got to see Busy B on the road. I got to see Curtis Blow on the road. I got to see, you know what I'm saying? I got to see that and pay homage to them. And them saying to me, I want to do Drink Champss and I'm like, that's dope. I'm like whoa, you know what I'm saying? Because all I want to do is just big up

the culture and if the culture continues to do that, if I continue to say how much I love Granddaddy IU and then people start and that's just what it is. We just have to give love and we have to do that while they're here and not to say that it's not good to celebrate

them when they're not here, but let's just make it... You know what I'm saying? To segue off what you're saying, because we got a lot of flack off of the Amber Rose episode. A lot of our fans don't understand it and they're like, oh, you guys said Legends only and this, that.

This is how I saw it and I'm pretty sure it's how you saw it. We're more valuable to the Legends if we're relevant Legends only in this tab. This is what, and this is how I saw it, and I'm pretty sure it's how you saw it. Right. We're more valuable to the legends if we're relevant to everybody. And we brought in our audience. We're not limiting ourselves to the legends. We are just the home base for them. We're going to pay homage to them.

You know, we're there appreciated, but it's not exclusive to them. That that way when they come here we we we brought in their audience new people find out about them because their fans come to us and you know what i'm saying and i just love the fact that you know i don't argue with people like when people i know we did say legends only but you know at the end of the day amber's a legend in our own right you know what i mean like maybe not a hip-hop legend maybe not with music but just the fact that she came from nothing and just came and just made it herself. I don't think you even have to explain it. To me, that is hip-hop.

Taking yourself from nothing and making something out of it. That, to me, is what hip-hop is. I don't know of an artist who came in this game already rich, but that's the ultimate story. Let me try to make another

phone call yo rob marksman you live with the drink chance what's good what's good what's good lori man dj fm man what's going on what up what up what up yo so look you know this is our tribute episode to Prodigy. So we wanted to get some thoughts on you real quick. Man, I think Prodigy is one of the greatest, most influential MCs to ever do it. Like, you know, what I hope people really understand is that that brother was dealing with sickle cell his entire life, and lived his life in pain. And the way he articulated it, I mean, when he says, rockin' on your face, stab your brain with your nose bone,

like that, that's him taking his pain, or I saw it as him taking his pain in his real life and be able to describe it to you, you know, in the most vivid way. You know what I'm saying? So it wasn't just street. I think people see Marv D, people see Prodigy, and they see the street.

Definitely represented the streets. But that brother was a poet, too, the way he took his own ills and his own life and turned into the soundtrack to our lives, man. And I hope we never forget that. I hope we never forget that, too. But, Raw, what kind of hit do you think that hip-hop took from this?

You know, I think whenever we lose our pioneers, our goals, it's a strong blow, man, to hip-hop, man, because hip-hop is just now in the age where we're getting old. You know, like into the Rolling Stone years, when you see guys like Jay-Z still doing it. You know, people got to understand, this is a genre that everybody said was a fad and wasn't on last. stone years when you see guys like Jay-Z still doing it. People gotta understand this is a genre that everybody said was a fad and wasn't all that.

And to have a guy like Prodigy, when he was coming up, the biggest rappers might have only got three albums. They might have had a five-year career, a five-year run. Prodigy was on a 20-year run. He dropped a new album this year, The Hegelian Dialectic,

you know, and he was still doing it. So, you know, when we lose a guy like that, you know, it's a major blow because our pioneers now have 20-year careers and Prodigy's career was not over. He was still creating. He was still doing it. So, man, it's a major hit, man.

We're a major hit. The funeral's today. We hope everybody go out there and support the brother. So, what should Mobb Deep fans do from here? Should we pressure Havoc to have

another album? Because I'm sure they got mad material in the thing. Or should we just let that music die? I think that's for having a prodigy family to, you know, kind of figure out. They know him best,

so it's this material that prodigy would have wanted the world to hear. And if so, then yeah. Hold on. I'm still on the bus, y'all. This is New York City. I know you have to turn that way.

That's what's up. That's what's up. We like people on the bus. Nigga, let's go New York City. I know you have to turn that one in. That's what's up. We like people on the bus. Let's go on good. You know, but no. You know, I think that if Havoc and Pride's family

feel like this material should come out, then it should come out. If it's something that Pride wouldn't want us to hear, we should respect that because he's given us enough material. But, you know, I actually spoke to him. He has albums done. He has albums of his own. I know for a fact that he had told me

were finished. And ready to be released. So hopefully we'll see those, man. Yep. Well, thank you, Rob Marksman, man. You're a GOAT in this game. We respect you over here and we appreciate you taking your time out. Nah, I love you. No, man, I Marksman, man. You're a GOAT in this game. You know, we respect you over here, and we appreciate you taking your time out. Nah, nah, I love you.

No, man, I want to add one thing. If I may, man, and I don't know which I discussed, man, because I'm just jumping in on this conversation. Right. But, you know, your and Prodigy's relationship was very, very important because I think we can all learn something. Your and Prodigy. It's no secret that you

admire him and he had an admiration for you, but there was times in y'all lives when y'all didn't necessarily see eye to eye and that wasn't clicking. I've had personal conversations with you about P and how you wish things

could be better when they weren't better. I've had conversations with P about you and he's expressed to me personally and I don't want to betray his confidence, rest in peace, but he did express to me personally, at least I know that he was proud of you when you went out and did the street champs

and how your career went. And the fact that when he passed, the fact that you two guys weren't good standing, you know, and it's important. So everybody listening, man, like, you know, give the people the flowers while they can still smell them. A lot of the problems that we have with each other

may be petty. And I know you, I know you can't petty, Nori, but, you know, when it's important, we can get past the pettiness and really show each other love. And the fact that you and him, when he passed, were in a good place, man, that means a lot. So I was listening, man. Get in a good place with your people, man, because you never know, man. Tomorrow's not promised.

And a lot of these problems we can overcome for real. Well, make some noise for Roz Marksman, man. Tomorrow's not promised. We're going to have a lot of these problems we can overcome for real. Yep. Well, make some noise for Roz Marksman, everybody. Yo, thank you, Rob. I'm going to hit you up later. You got it, my brother. Peace. Rest in peace, Prodigy. Rest in peace, Prodigy.

Word up, y'all. That was deep right there. Hold on, hold on. We have another caller. Yeah, get him on the line. All right, bud. Yeah, that was deep right there. I liked it.

I liked it. That was Rob Marksman. Yo, yo. Yo, what's going on, Jungle? You live on the Drink Chance Make some noise for Jungle It was good Following you on the Drink Chance Yo, listen

Man, word. Yeah, we'll be in New York soon, so we're going to make that happen. But today's show, you know, obviously we're bigging up a QB legend right now, Prodigy. So I just wanted to get your thoughts on that real quick. Oh, man. R.I.P. Prodigy, man. You know what I mean?

We all knew he was sick, man, especially a lot of people that I was close to him from Queensbridge. You know, he was sick. He used to go to the hospital sometimes. And he used to talk about himself not having a long lifespan. But, you know, we knew this shit since we was kids, but we never expected the day to come. You know what I mean?

And that shit really fucked everybody up. Right, right, right, right. So I seen y'all on the block that day. I think it was you. That was on 12th Street, right? Yeah, I was celebrating. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I had to go over there with the crew.

Man, I went out. I just came outside. I went to see the bridge. I went to go on 12th Street. I'm from Vernon. 40th Street. I'm from 40th Street of Vernon. Yeah.

But I know everybody on 12th Street. I knew Havoc since I was a kid. I knew everybody. So, you know, I wanted to go over there and get bent on the block, on his block. You know what I mean? On the 12th Street, the Mobb Deep block. One good time for Prodigy, man. Word. Yeah, we respect that, man. Great night. No violence. Everybody loved each other.

Big up to my man Norris for even asking me to call in, man. This is a big honor. I know he's doing this for me, so it's a pleasure to call in. Yes. Yo, so let me just ask you, what's your earliest memory of Prodigy? This is hip-hop. He can't even hear me. This is hip-hop.

I'm going this little back. Okay, yeah. You want to do the yielding? It's going crazy right now in here, Norris. I'm sorry. This is hip-hop. He can't even handle it. This is hip-hop. Okay, yeah. Where you at? The Freshman? The Freshman shit? XXL? Live on Revolt. Make sure these people tune in, baby.

So, yeah. Can you hear us a little better, Shaheen Reed? Okay, hold on. Relax. Okay. All right. I'm going to relax. Okay. All right, so what's your earliest memory of Prodigy? Yo, it's funny, man. I was talking to Steve.

It must have been the other day. And my earliest memory is being in North East State in the dormitories and seeing shook ones and being like, yo, what the fuck is this? And they was like, yo, chill, son. Don't say nothing, son. Don't say nothing. And just the lingo and everything.

That's the first time I saw them. And the album came out, I think it was on a Tuesday. I was in Virginia Beach. I just bought a ticket to go see the movie Friday. It just came out that Friday. And the album was out two days before. And I had time to chill.

I sat down, bought the album. What was it, like FYE? And I was mesmerized, man. bought the album and what was it, like FYE? Mm. And I was mesmerized, man. They, like, really... Like, them guys... It's like, you know, some of them scenes, they take your imagination.

But my beat take your heart, man. It was like... You know, it was so cool the fact that... Not so cool like Michael Jackson, Harmony, but just so cool. Like, they was just really better in their soul. And being around the same age, it was like, they was just talking directly to me. Those are the best albums where I feel like I'm the only man in the world that got the tape. Man, I listen to that joint.

Listen to it, do the previews of the movie. Even like, you know, 10, 15 minutes into the movie, I couldn't stop. Wow. I couldn't turn it off. Wow. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something, Sha. Yeah.

You think it's too quick to jump into Like a prodigy, mob deep Biopic, what's it called? Biopic We need it I was certainly gonna say it Because he was such a fascinating guy Man, you're looking at

You know You know, you were closer to Peter than I was But one of the most Educ educated that can talk to you on any level of anything scholarly, but a street deviant nigga, you know? when he was going to jail, right? He came to see me at MTV when he was going to jail. And, you know, everybody, I'm sad because it's like the last potty for me for like three years. You know, I was lucky enough to form a friendship with him and have

you know, I'm all sad and all that. He's like, he's like, man, you're such a you know, all the crazy shit that I did that I didn't get caught for? You know what I mean? Right. He was like, they would have put me under the jam if they knew the crazy shit that I did.

So the fact that they got me on this here, so I did that stuff. Right. And that's how he was, man. He was just a strapped dude, man. I think that's why his death is affecting us so crazy because we don't want to look at P as being invincible. We know about the cigarette cell, but we look at him as just, no matter what's going on,

and can't let it stop the dude. So it's like when something like this comes out of the blue, it's like, damn. It's's like when something like this comes out of the blue, it's like, damn. It's just like when Biggie died, man, I ain't going to lie. Yeah, a lot of people have been saying he's been receiving pretty much the same love as Biggie Smalls. So we're going to honor him because, you know, this is Drink Champs. So we're going to do what we got to do, you know what I'm saying? R.I.P. Prodigy, man.

Shahid, thank you for calling in, man, and giving those beautiful words. Nah, I appreciate it. Normally, let me just tell our fans real quick, the people that's watching it, you know, normally help me out so much because the day that Pete passed away, I was driving, I was stuck on the highway going to Harvard. So when I got the news, I pulled over

and, like, that shit just hit me so hard, I started crying. And Nori was the first person I thought to call, man. I called Nori and I'm, you know, I'm in my feelings, I'm sad, I'm crying. And Nori just was saying, we just, we're so obsessed. He's like, yo man,, you just got to rep. You know, Norrie hurt too. You know, Norrie probably hurt more than a lot of people in the world,

but the way he handled it, that shit put me in perspective because I'm sitting there crying and sad. He's like, nah, man, we got to rep for Pete. That's it. We got to rep his legacy. So ever since he said that,

that battery in me has been in my back, I'm going to keep up with him, brother. Word. Yo, man, thank you so much for calling in.

R.P. Prodigy on the count of three. One, two, three. R.P. Prodigy. Prodigy. Word. All right, Sean,

we're going to hit you up later, man. Thanks for calling the drink champs. Love, man. I appreciate y'all. All right, one love.

So let me ask you, when was it your oldest memory of Prodigy? Like, how far back? Oldest? Oldest? I don't think you can say last memory. No, no, no. Oldest going back. Like, did you know him when they did Juvenile Hill?

Did you know that era? No, I didn't know him, but I remember him being in Section 5 and I remember him having toys and we traded toys. Because he's really from left rack. Like, I didn't know him then, though. Like, you know what I mean? I didn't know no one.

So how old are y'all? You're saying trading toys. Yeah, this is trading toys. This is kids. This is He-Man. This is G.I. Joe. This is real toys, not cars toys. Yeah.

Like, yeah, I remember him being this. This is way before rap. This is way before rap. I never looked at him. I never knew he was a rapper until I was actually in jail. I was in jail, and I was like, oh, kid, this kid is from before rap. This is way before rap. I never looked at him. I never knew he was a rapper until I was actually in jail. I was in jail, and I see him. I was like, oh, kid, this kid is from Left Rack. Well, I used to see him in Left Rack, rather.

He says it. He says it. Wow. Damn, should I have CeeLo call, too? Hold on. If he has a memory of Pete, let's do it. No, he didn't. All right.

Well, hold on. Hold on. That's the wrong CeeLo. Hold on. I got to relax. Hold on. Hold on. Go back. to relax Hold on Hold on Go back Go back

Because that's interesting So y'all were trading toys And then Yeah I mean This was as kids Like And um I remember you know

I'm guessing he moved away Maybe that's the time He moved to Queensbridge Or that's the time So he lived in Left Frack Yeah he lived in Left Frack He lived in Left Frack At one point

Yeah He says that He says that He admits that So then when y'all Finally like See each other When you see each other

Again He's rapping Y'all rapping He was already Prodigy The next time I seen him Are you already N.O.R.E.? No You're not Noriega yet

No Remember My first record is L.A.L.A. Right So With them With them Mobb Deep

Yeah So Was that originally Supposed to be a Mobb Deep record? No It was originally I know we've talked about it A million times

It was originally For a Bad Boy mixtape Okay I remember It was on the Dog Pounce beat Yeah but it was We used to go up

To Stretch Armstrong So much Stretch Armstrong Wanted to pay us back Like that's how it was Like yo we're gonna Put you on a Bad Boy mixtape Remember Bad Boy

Was the hottest I remember Stretch Armstrong Was doing some of the mixtapes Yeah he was No he had This is No cause remember It was like, yo, we're going to put you on the Bad Boy mixtape. Remember, Bad Boy was the hottest. I remember Stretch Armstrong was doing some of the mixtapes. Yeah. No, because remember, it was like Clue had one version. Doo-Wop did. No, but Doo-Wop came later. So it was like Clue, I think, was first.

I think maybe Envy, and then it was Stretch Armstrong's turn. Right. And Stretch came and got us. And that's where L.A. was supposed to be a freestyle at first And it never made the mixtape? No Because I got a white label That just leaked white label

I told you We said the story on here Big We've been talking about it a bunch of times Big said no Big said uh-uh No way Oh because he didn't want that vibe going out

He didn't want that vibe Because he knew that Everybody looked at him like bad boy Right Word So when y'all did that record That's not the first time y'all reunite Since you was kids He didn't want that vibe because he knew that everybody looked at him like bad boy. Right. Right. And so when y'all did that record, that's not the first time y'all reunite since he was kids. Who? You and P.

What, L.A. L.A.? Yeah. No. Yeah, I mean, to tell you the truth, I never brought that story up to him. I never said, yo, you was the kid because I just— No, no, no, but I'm saying when you go into the studio To do LA LA That's not the first time You've seen him No we've seen each other

On the block Plenty of times And the thing was I don't think that they was Really down with it at first But Hit Em Up had dropped Right

Or I might be getting confused I might be getting confused Where I say I think that we did the record And then I think Hit Em Up dropped and that made them want to do the video. Not the Snoop record? No, it was whatever record it was

where Pac actually addressed Marb D. Yeah. Yo, it was Hit Em Up, right? Yeah, and it was the day before. So, because at first, I don't think Prodigy wanted to do the video. But that pulled him over because his verse was the only one he remember his verse was nyc you are not verse supremacy havoc and p queens niggas so it seemed to be mega got word back for noriega jfk on our

way to la so his verse was only like probably the only verse that was actually like directly saying something about L.A. So now that I'm older, I understand why he did that. Because we wasn't we didn't know if Dog Pound was dissing us. No, the verses were mad subliminal. We didn't know. So we didn't say nothing. But then after they let the video drop, then we was like, all right, that's how that's how our video.

Now, when you look at the video, it looks like we always thought they was dissing us. But, you know, we were confused. That's the truth about it, you know what I mean? Hold on, let's see if we can get... Okay. Yeah, pretty much. Hold on. Hold on, what's up? You're live on Drink Champs

Everybody make some noise for James Cruz What's up, Drink Champs? What's going on? What's going on? Listen, man, you know Today's show, James Cruz You're an executive at Bad Boy But people don't know

You was an executive at Violator You know people don't know you was an executive at Violator, you know what I'm saying, for many many years, so I know that you know Prodigy very well. We right now giving him respect, and we wanted you to, you know, say something about him real quick. Man, you know, I met P, you know,

way before, you know, when he was on, when he was on, was it Payday? Ooh. Juvenile Health? Through Mercury. when he was on when he was on was it payday through mercury um and he was independent distributor i used to hear the music you know what i'm saying and it felt like when you played the music the right way like this cat was climbing through your window and with a ski mask on about to come do what he had to do and then i met met Pete, and I'm like, look at this little motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? Pete was tiny, but he had a big, super

human heart. You know what I'm saying? Like, he would just command his presence. You know what I'm saying? You look at Havoc, you know what I'm saying? Like, you put them, you stand Havoc on Pete's shoulders, they about as tall as me. Right, right, right. But you had these two cats that they just had this movement, you had alchemists you know

and this is when hip-hop like you know it was you know you still had always that white impression of hip-hop but not from a producer standpoint you know what i'm saying so you know p was the kind of cat where like he would just captivate you and you know what i'm saying he would just kick it with you and done done you know what i'm saying the way he would talk he had his own language but then you know as i started working with him i never forget i started at violator He would just kick it with you, done, done. You know what I'm saying? The way he would talk, he had his own language. But then, you know, as I started working with him, I never forget. I started at Violator. And Mona Scott brings me a stack of contracts for these college dates.

They're all my big college dates. And I felt like Mona had set me up because I had no idea Pete was ill. And what a lot of people don't know, too, you know, Lighty had that, too. What, sickle cell? Yeah. A lot of people don't know that. You know, he had a less severe version of it, but he would still get ill, which I think is what actually bonded P and Lighty in a different way, because

Lighty was helping P get healthy all throughout those times with the heavy head of C and all that. You know what I'm saying? And then when they signed to Loud, you know, Lighty was'm saying and then when they signed to loud you know like he was doing a and all with them and you know he was really creating this this real relationship with p and trying to be a big brother type and you know as p went on he's kept getting sicker and sicker we have to cancel shows and i remember and he brought p into the office one day and he was like man you gotta start taking care of yourself because we can't be losing these dates because a lot of people don't know.

Once you sign a contract with a college, don't play with that because you will get sued out the ass. You know what I'm saying? And I had to learn that, you know, to really advise myself through his health, which taught me a very important part of management. It ain't just go out and get the check. It ain't just go out and get the deals done or get the records played. It's also making sure your client is healthy and taking care of themselves because, you know, you only have one body. It's your temple. You know what I'm saying? And just, you know, about I think it was like nine days before he passed, he was at Summer Jam.

And, you know, P and I started choking around because, you know, he says, yo, Cruz, that's a nice watch on your wrist. And I was like, yo, that's a nice grill in your mouth and I was like yo that's a nice grill in your mouth and he laughed pause and he laughed and he goes yeah you too I said yeah people got 40 on the wrist we both got 40 on our teeth we were laughing about it you know what I'm saying because he got his to be able to have my but it and we were laughing about it but he was just like you know how you don't miss a step with somebody like I know me and you get together we don't miss a step it's like we were back you know doing what we do back in the days. It's like you don't miss a step with Pete.

He was always himself. There was nothing different about him. Every time you saw him, he was the same dude. He had that special Queens thing about him. And he had his own language and he had his own love. And as I watched him grow from an MC, because he wasn't a rapper, he was an MC. Let's just get that straight. To go from an MC and then when he when he started like later on in his years he started to become more of an activist and started to make points in his own language still but make points about how

you know we come up as young african-american and latino men in hip-hop and on the grind you know i'm saying just to see that growth and that transition in him it was just like man we lost a good one you know i'm saying and gone too soon you know i'm saying Just to see that growth And that transition in him It was just like Man we lost a good one You know what I'm saying And gone too soon You know what I'm saying And you know We lost Lighty

You know how I feel about that Right of course You know what I mean So it's like When I really sat down And started to reflect When I got the news man Like that whole Lighty thing

Came over me again too You know Isn't the wake Isn't P's wake In the same place That Chris Lighty's wake is at? Yeah, yep, tomorrow, yep, yes it is. So it's like, you know, but you know,

they probably up in heaven riding around in that G-Wagon. You know, Chris was the hottest cat in the street with that G-Wagon. That's right. That's right. They're probably going to be up in heaven, you know, talking mild pee. But you know, I went to P's thing in LA that Steve Rifkin did. Yeah, I heard about that. Yeah. And I really got a chance

to see photos of P like you never saw before. He pulled out the old photos from the photo shoots at Loud Records. You know what I'm saying? He pulled out stuff and I was just sitting there

like, wow, like just his style. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, before we saw Pac with the rag around his head, P had that rag around, you know what I'm saying,

that bandana on. You know what I'm saying? Like the army's fatigued. The size 10X clothes way too big for you. You know what I'm saying? With the chims on. You know what I'm saying? It was just like, wow.

And I saw these photos. And you didn't realize, you know what I'm saying? Because you're always one of the top 10 versus top three versus of all time for me. We shook once, you know what I'm saying? Right. And for me to really see how he influenced fashion, too. Right.

Like, I really, like, I didn't even catch that until I went to Rifkin State. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, that was P. And then I remember when they was running around with 50 and G unit, you know what I'm saying? It was all touring Europe. And, you know, I just remember how P

would always stay true to his queen's roots. You know what I'm saying? Right. His queen's roots was always true to him, the way he rocked, the way he dressed, the way he spoke. You know what I'm saying? So, again, man, we lost him too soon. I miss him already, you know, but, you know,

God got another angel up there. You know what I'm saying? They're going to have a cypher in heaven in a minute. Definitely, James, man. Well, we appreciate you calling in, man. You know what I mean On the count of three R.I.P. Prodigy

One, two, three R.I.P. Prodigy And Nori While we on it I got it And I'm so proud of your growth I'm so proud of the man you've become From a business standpoint

You're always a great MC Don't get it going Nobody gonna say any different to me. But to watch you grow and to watch you do these things and do your deals with CBS and all these things, man, like, yo, man, ain't nobody ever said it. Man, applause, brother, because, you know what I'm saying?

See another Latino in the business doing it the way you're doing it? Make me proud, man. We racist. That's right. Let's do it. Thank you, James Cruz. Thank you, James Cruz. All right. One love. one love, one love. 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.

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there.

in a rush, but I just dropped it, you know, being independent and just dropped it really without knowing the game, you know, not knowing what Spotify was, what, you know, Apple music really was and not knowing streaming and everything else and just knowing the game. So I had to take my time. Really. I know it's been a while. People like, damn, what's going on? But it's really been like seven months.

My nigga. Shout out to Tragedy. He's got it. He's got it. So who we had calling? We had some legends calling tonight. Like, we celebrated

prodigy. How many minutes are we? We looking good? 75? I don't know what that equals. Pass an hour.

I don't think we can get you. We're good. I can smoke a bogey and come back. Yeah. You didn't say your memory.

We'll come back and talk about the memory. Yeah, we'll come back and talk about the memory. I'm going to smoke a bogey and come back. Yeah. We'll come back and talk about the memory. Yeah, we'll come back and talk about the memory. I'm going to smoke a bogey. Bogey break. I don't want to do it. Actually, I'll put you on one of those days. I got a movie for you. Back from the bogey break. Another thing that Masterpiece

said that I want to reiterate. Elaborate on. Elaborate. He said he's dropping a movie, but he guessed his movie might not be good enough. Oh, my God. Yo, look at this. Look at this.

Look at this man. This man poured the whole drink on this dude. I just spilled the whole drink on him. What did you do, bro? I just, my action. He just said, I don't know. I mean, man, get out the door. Yo, Eddie, any towels?

Hold on, I got you. Anybody got towels? Eddie? Towels with me. Eddie, what the fuck? Yeah, I fucked up. Oh my God, Eddie. I fucked up, I fucked up.

I don't know how you'll last on the run eating ass. That's not difficult. Only the drink is difficult. The show's not looking good anymore. Your agents are nervous right now. I'm not a drink champ, so that's what happens. That's what happens. That's right, short champ. That's what happens when you're not

a drink champ. Okay, so another thing that Master P said was he's had a movie coming out and he gets it's not good enough because he's not dead. He's alive. Do you think that is a case in hip-hop that sometimes

our artists actually become more popular? No, I think that's a problem we have in hip-hop. Okay, meaning? Because look, I'm going to give you an example and I'm not going to go

too into depth into these movies, but to me, one of the best biopics, I like to say biopic, but one of the best movies is Straight Outta Compton. Because they were there to monitor it. Most of these brothers are alive.

To monitor it. And they watched, at least quality control. Whether you debate how factual everything is, the quality of the film was top notch. Because you didn't like the Tupac movie. I thought it could have been better. Meaning? Break it down. I just, it could have been better. It could have it down. I just, it could have been better.

It could have been better as a film. I wasn't happy with the Biggie movie either. Did he really Dougie in the movie? Dougie? Yeah, they told me he is a Dougie. Oh, I didn't even notice that. It's like him on social media as a character,

just Millie Rock. Oh, the dude. Millie Rock, yeah. He was a character. Oh, I didn't know that. Somebody, I seen him in that I seen a meme I just think like

A lot of people And again Is it meme? Meme I seen a meme People like They're like Oh

The reason I think The movie's dope Is because I'm a fan And I'm like Well as a I mean If the first thing You should be saying

As a fan You should be more critical Of the film But I'm just saying In general What I've noticed The films Well the

There's only a few There's not many in hip hop That have been to this level The only one to me That has lived up To what it's supposed to be Is the NWA film And these guys are alive

So That's You Well no I'm saying There's somebody from the group Which is more than It was three Out of four members,

four or five members. Yellow, Ren, Dre, and Q. Yeah. Huh? No, no. I'm saying people alive. Alive. So that's my critique. So I do think if you're alive, it makes a difference.

It makes a difference. Like Frankie Lyman and them niggas. Yeah. Is it who? Frankie Lyman. No niggas. Yeah. Yeah. Is it who? Frankie Lyman. No, no, that's not his name. Frankie Avalon. Avalon. I'm like Lyman.

Hold on. Avalon. Why do fools fall in love? The Jersey Boys. Yeah, Frankie. Nah. Frankie Lyman. Oh, I'm thinking

of the Jersey Boys, dude. All those Jersey Boys. Where's Paul at? What's the dude from the Jersey Boys name? Frank Yabba Frank Yabba New Edition

New Edition was great Oh yeah New Edition was great But was it great as a feature film Or for what it was as a TV movie? It was good TV episodic Was it episodic?

I think When you say episodic You talking about episodes? Was it episodes or was it one long episode? It was episodes It was episodes. It was like six episodes, right? Three episodes were two hours long.

Do you think that would have stood as a feature film had that been condensed? No. I think so, yeah. I think so. I think actually by them dragging it out, it made it actually more interesting because maybe they couldn't just fit it all in 90 minutes. You know what I'm saying? Like, their career is really, really a lot. You know what I'm saying?

I heard BET also bought Nas a biopark. Wow. The same way that they did New Edition. And they did a great job with New Edition. I can't lie. Like, I was tuned in. No, no, I heard a lot of great things. I watched it, but I heard a lot of great things about it.

You want to talk? Go ahead. I'm going to get my two cents real quick. That's Garcia, the famous director with no sleeves on. I'm not. Yeah. Let's do it. I'm trying to keep it real.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay, Michelle G. All right. All right. So what I think when it comes to a feature film, whether it's a biopic, first off, Tupac had his problems. I haven't seen the film, so I'm not going to judge it, but it has its problems with

just Tupac being so prolific in general and everybody's old enough to remember what he was that it was going to be a real difficult film. I was saying it for years. It was going to be real difficult to execute that kind of movie. Same thing with Big. But when you look at a film, it lives and dies by a script. You know what I'm saying? So it's like on a biopic,

factual or not, if the writing isn't good, it's just not going to work. You feel me? So it always has to be a really, really great script first. Casting will come second. The director's job is easy at that point.

It's like a car. You can have a Ferrari or you can have a body of a Ferrari with a Honda engine. It looks good, but it ain't got no drive. That's how you got to look at a film. If the script sucks, which is probably what happened with the Tupac movie or some of these TV...

To be fair, it's only certain people that say it sucks. Like, it's other people who... I like it. I found it interesting. I love it. You know what I'm saying? I haven't seen the film.

I think Tupac Bursche... I mean, look, artists is always subjective, so art is art, but I just, I personally think it could have been better, personally.

I haven't seen the movie, personally, to judge it. I haven't seen the movie. But who knows what these people had to go through to make this film.

I got to hang out With Benny Boom We got to actually be In the Benny Boom's a great director 100% 100% The after party

There's a whole bunch Of West Coast guys That came perform DJ Quick The Outlaws I actually was front row I stood right there And the Outlaws

Was in the movie Idi Amin Oh yeah Well I mean some of them Idi Amin And wasn't Homie's son? Noble. Young Noble was in it, too.

And Gaddafi's son. Gaddafi's son, I believe. He played Gaddafi. Oh, world. Yeah, that's dope. He looked like him, too. That's dope. I give Benny Boomer's credit just for even doing the movie.

You know, the thing is, I think that sometimes we just look at our legends that passed away for us to critique them as being perfect. Like, oh, the movie should be perfect. Sometimes it's just... I liked it, The Notorious. I thought the quality was excellent, but I felt it could have been a better movie

as well. This is the thing. Maybe we're putting these people on such a pedestal that we expect, but I expect the same that we would give... What's the homie they did, Walk the Line? Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash. All right.

You know, winning Oscars. Like, why can't we do that in hip-hop? Why can't we have that level of production? And to you, that wasn't the level of production? I felt it was... Yeah, it was under that level of production? And to you, that wasn't the level of production? I felt it was under that level of production. Yeah, it lacked that. I felt like we just gave the people something because everybody was starving for it, so we gave it to them. And in the Notorious situation, I felt it was great quality, but I just felt it lacked that.

I don't know. I mean, this is my personal opinion. I think Notorious maybe came more from the mother's perspective. Do you think that? When it comes from anybody's one perspective, that's when these movies fail, in my opinion. But the same argument can go against you with Straight Outta Compton. No, because the thing is that it's multiple people's input.

Even though they might have manipulated some of the story, it's still too many people's sides that you're going to get. In the end, you're going to get something. I'm going to stand up and say Cube is so embedded in the world of Hollywood and movie making

that I think I heard or I've seen him say that he wasn't going to ever commit to a movie until he saw an amazing script. Because he already, I think I heard or I've seen him say that he wasn't going to ever commit to a movie until he saw an amazing script. Because he already, I think he understood. That goes back

to my original point, though. The pitfalls of making a movie. The script is everything, straight up and down. But, you know, Benny Bo's an amazing director. I was happy that he got it

because just watching a hip-hop music director from the 90s that's done so much shit to get that kind of look, you know, is awesome to me. I just want the best for hip-hop, personally.

That's all I'm saying. I want the best. So now, being that this show is dedicated to Prodigy, is it too soon to think about working on a Mobb Deep or Prodigy? I think that's how their inner circle feels. If they feel that's something they feel confident that they want to undertake, maybe they're not

when they're ready. I think it's on them. But I think such an amazing movie could be made out of their story. Because it's like what people are saying. Mobb Deep is the soundtrack to anybody, especially in our generation of hip-hop right you can remember where you were at that point when mob deep dropped you know shook

ones at for example we that's that marks a time point in all of our lives that is the soundtrack so imagine the film that could be made you could make a movie just probably about that one out. Jesus. He should have given it to me. Shots fired. You remember the lead? He should have given it to me. If you're not shooting film, you're shooting us with a... He almost took it.

He almost took it. That was my help? He almost took it. Get it off, brother. What you come from? You should have passed me the shit. I did a good... I executed the first one.

You're not a conservative, brother. Get it off, man. What, bro?. I executed him the first time. You're not a conservative, brother. Come on, man. Remember, I write your checks. Listen. You don't have any good guy. I had a conversation with somebody because I was reading this crazy article. I'm not going to bring up the article right now.

I'm not giving anybody props on the show. I read this crazy article about Golden Age hip-hop, and I was talking to someone. I was like, you know, all these gangster stories out of the 20s in New York, like the same could be... Like mafia movies? Like mafia movies. The same could be applied to the recording industry in the early 90s, late 80s.

And I feel like the mafia... It's almost like the mafia didn't die, but it was like the recording industry of the 80s and the 90s. It's the crack era. Well, they tried to do it with that one series on HBO, and they got cut. What was the one series? Vinyl.

Vinyl. It's so unfortunate. Yeah, but that was in the 70s, and that was a great show. But I mean, I thought it was the same vibe. I thought it was amazing. Corsese was a part of that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but they were going into hip-hop.

Yeah, yeah. It was definitely going. I think it was that was heard from flash. I guess. Who are going to hurt, yeah. I think my point is that the 80s and 90s, the same kind of storylines apply to like the 20s and 30s gangsters in New York. It applies to the 80s and 90s in the crack era and the recording industry and hip-hop.

But it's almost not even about all the rappers. It's about everybody who's around the rappers and all the politics that get involved in it. You should make a movie, bro. He has a couple movie ideas for that era. I just think that era's really interesting, and I think that the way people idolize

Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, they'll one day idolize a Supreme or a Leroy Cohen, how he dealt with a Supreme-style relationship. They are the modern-day Leroy, I mean, modern-day Lucky Luciano. Well, to combat

that, I think they're the modern-day Frank Sinatra. I think it's everybody that's around them. Actually, no, because I think even though Frank had the aura of being down with the Mafia, he didn't do things. These guys did things. They did do things. It's a little different.

My point is, you know, Frank Sinatra was the recording artist of the mob. So it was like, you know, you look at a pop band. Right, but these guys tried to create their own mob. And I'm not here to dry stitch on nobody, but you look at some of these artists, I'm not going to name no names, but you look at some of these artists and their history and who's backing them. And the names you don't know, but you might have had a glimpse on a record. Maybe somebody says something and dropped their name real quick and blah, blah, blah. Those are the guys that really are the ill stories that if you really get into it, you're like, yo, like, holy crap.

There's a real storyline there and it's real deep and embedded. And it's just, you know, rags to riches always sells, man. America's built on the underdog So you look at a man coming from the projects And being a millionaire if not close to a billionaire Off hip hop And he's alive And he came out in the late 80's early 90's In New York or LA

It's crazy It's a lot of meat and potatoes I just hope it gets told right I think Peyton Full did a really good assessment of it Oh yeah I was in that movie I think Luketon Full did a really good assessment of it though. Oh, yeah. I was in that movie. That's amazing. I love your movie. Yay! I think Luke just sold his book for a movie.

Yeah? Yeah. And I know 2 Live Crew as well. They're making the bio. We got to get 2 Live Crew up here, right? Yeah, we need their side of the story, but they're also working on a film. We ain't calling them beef. No, no.

Definitely not about beef. I would like... My initial, when we talked about Luke I would love to have everybody You know what I'm saying? You know, Mr. Mix, Brother Marquise, Luke Kip Frost Fresh Kip Ice

Kip Frost, my brother Yo, man Down right here You put a Mexican in two Like, bro Shout out to Kip Frost He was originally in the first Dream Chimps episode down right here. You put a Mexican in two-life crew? Shout out to Kid Frost. He was originally

in the first Dream Chats episode. We talked about Joe this morning. That's why. We need Kid Frost on the next Dream Chats.

Now that that script is sold, I always wanted to make a two-life crew biopic. I like biopic, man. Fuck saying

biopic. I like biopic. Biopic makes more sense. I'm a little tipsy. I like biopic, man. Fuck saying that. I like biopic. Biopic makes more sense. I hope they call the movie as nasty as they want to be, and I hope they make the whole movie about the court case. Well, I think that's what that movie is about. I think that's where the meat and potatoes is

for that film. I don't know the script. I don't know what they're doing. But if they make the whole shit about the freedom of speech court case, they win. See, I want them to go back to the PAC jam and talk about that. Well, you could do all that. You could do all that. I mean, you could. You could.

But if you make the main conflict about them fighting for their freedom of speech, you win. Or give me a documentary that goes back. Imagine the footage in the PAC jam. What you do right there is. The PAC jam. We talked about this on the Luke episode. But it was a club that Luke ran. It was like everybody.

It was this inner city club. It was a rite of passage in Miami. You had to go to the Pac Jam. That was the spot, you know? But what you do is you give Luke the Larry Flynn story basically at that point. Because the Pac Jam, all the imagery still applies. It's just you got to have that big conflict and the big conflict is his freedom of speech.

And I think that's where they win. I hope to God they write that right. But I don't think it's too early about the Mobb Deep movie. With Kip Roth? With Hattie. I don't think it's too early. It's only as early as the family feels comfortable to do it.

Correct. You know what I'm saying? That's who counts, the family. Trying to see. We keep talking. Keep talking. I believe that the family has to be involved. Well, they have to be involved. And they have to feel comfortable. And tiny, and twin.

To an extent. And Nori. Give it to a piece on it. I just support. We're supporting with you. I got to support. You keep talking. Keep talking. Keep talking.

It's a little R. It went brrrr. So, what happened? What's brrrr? Did you see your memory already or no? Oh, yeah. All right. Well, so I'm going to try to speed it up.

Actually, as a fan of hip-hop, I grabbed Juvenile Hell as a cassette tape. A cassette tape? A cassette tape. A cassette tape. A cassette tape. You put it on your head like Hell as a cassette tape. A cassette tape? A cassette tape. A cassette tape. You put it on your head like it's a cassette tape. I always do it to him. It's the only right he does it to me.

So anyways, I was already a fan of Mobb Deep. I had Juvenile Hell, you know, Project Hallways, Hit It From The Back. Like I had that tape. Hit It From The Back. And Premiere was attached to that record. So I... What car called Premiere? That's another person. Oh, yeah. So, but we saw the back. I had that tape. From the back. And Premier was attached to that record. Who called Premier? That's another person. Oh, yeah.

But we saw the showcase. That was like the new coming out of Mobb Deep. And they performed Shook Ones Part 2. And it was at Luke's Club. 94, 95. I forget the year exactly.

And it was showcasing them. And that was the first, you know, you see. And we were like, yo, this is crazy. The before shit was at Pac-Man? No. No, no, no.

What was it? Fifth Street? Fifth Street. It was Coco Bongo's. But it was called Luke's. It was called Luke's all the time. It was Coco Bongo's later before. Now it's.

It don't matter. But yeah. They performed the shit. They performed. They killed it. So that's my first like Like seeing them You know back

Back in the mix And it was It was insane And that became Like I said The soundtrack of our lives And then They were on the tour

Survival of the fittest tour Yeah Survival of the fittest On the strong survive Yeah but There was a death jam tour There was a death jam tour Survival of the fittest

And that's I briefly on my Instagram I posted a freestyle That Prodigy He did two for me It was And it's crazy briefly On my Instagram I posted a freestyle That Prodigy He did two for me And it's crazy Because it was Both over your beats

I never heard that. Oh, my God. You know, and then he's saying Miami niggas, you know, EFN. Like, it's just, you know, and it's now so much more special, unfortunately. You know what I'm saying?

we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Wait, what we got there? Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Careful. Hey, what? Are you a correct answer? No. Go ahead. Go ahead, Paul. Hey, can I give a memory on Prodigy? Go ahead, guys. I want to give a memory on Prodigy. Yes, sir.

I never met him, but I'm going to tell you. I have a memory. Holy shit. Let me tell you something. You were dreaming. We just got married. I want to give a memory, but I've never met him. Never met the man.

Oh, that was hard. I think there's millions of people that would like to say they relate to his lyrics and I want to give a memory, but I've never met him. I think there's millions of people that would like to say they relate to his lyrics and his soundtrack. That's fucking right. So I'm a fan, so I want to speak for everybody. Because I had an emotion one day. Right, pause, right? Why do you have to pause? You paused the wrong time. Because it's emotional.

So let's get past that. You ought to be wished. He spit rhymes. You might be a meme. He spit rhymes, right? And I listened to everything he said. But at that moment, I was a Redman fan. I was a Keith Murray fan because I'm from Jersey.

But they fought. And then when he dropped the album, he said, I'm not into that galactic shit. Y'all need to get punched in the face. Right? I just recently heard that. It was really, I didn't really realize back then that he was dissing them. When he said. No, I didn't realize it.

That was a skit where he was like, you know, I'll stab you in the club. And he's like, I'm not on that galactic shit. You know, I'm on real shit. And at that moment, I said, that's real. But I was upset because I was down with Raymond and Keith and Keith used to say that whole Intercollective molecular way he used to spit. Mm-hmm But then when he came out with la la and I had heard Capone and Norris of songs That was always to the heart He's like watching Pink Drive. Yo, hey. Y'all can go outside, man.

I'm almost done. But when he said, shout out to Noriega, he spent that rhyme in L.A. L.A., I was with it. And it's an emotion you go through listening to fans. I understand.

Sometimes they don't like what you did in the last album or the current album. I know exactly what you're talking about. That's my memory. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. All right, recipe. I know some recipes. All that crazy shit.

Holy shit. Holy shit. But you know the memes over the Migos, Joe Bud, all the motherfuckers in the background? That was like Norris Fitch. Holy shit. What the fuck is that? That's real shit. Yo, how fucked up?

That's real shit. Nothing I said. You know what Jack got there? What did he say, bro? Because you know it's not going to the flea. Holy shit. You buy something for the flea today. Bro, you buy something for the flea today, and then you take it to the crib.

That shit say size 40, but it feel like a 34. Oh, shit. So you go to bring it back the next day, and the flea give you the matumbo. Like, ah. No reflux in there. Oh, shit. You got to relax. I'm not going to lie, Paul.

That was hard, man. Real quick. Come on, eh was hard, man. Real quick. Nah, real quick. Real quick, real quick, real quick. Real quick, real quick. I have to defend my dog. Oh, shit. No, no, no.

To put everything in perspective. This DJ here, we had a group in Crazy Hook called The Alliance. And Paul was a part of it. His name in the group, his MC name is Weird Thoughts. Dang, I didn't do it, man. Because I could never explain.

I gave him the name because I could never explain what the fuck he was saying. You're not a writer. Weird Thoughts. I'm out of here. Spit it out. Bro, you made no goddamn sense Justin! We thought something like, I'm out of here. Spit that. Bro, you made no goddamn sense right now. I made perfect sense.

What the fuck I'm saying, bud? No, it went left, man. Listen, bro. We ain't got no other way to get you, man. We ain't got no other way to get you. I'll take it like a man. I'll take it like a man. Yo, you got it.

What you get? What you get out of that? Is it Colombian thing? I got it. Go'd you get? What'd you get out of that? It's a Colombian thing? I got it. Go ahead. Let me hear this. He's saying that he was a fucking repudiant when he said that about the intergalactic, whatever.

And then he liked him all of a sudden in L.A.? Yeah, then he said in L.A. So why didn't he just say that? Because he was a citizen. I thought he was a citizen. He didn't like him when he was beefing with Death Squad. But then after he got sent from Jersey. So why didn't he just say that?

I don't know. He did, but in Paul's language. Yo, Paul, man, let's just drink. Yo, so you can do intergalactic language. If you're not fluent in Paul, you ain't good. One thing I want to say, as a man who didn't know Prodigy, obviously, that Mop Deep Shook Ones was one of the first videos

that ever inspired me to want to do music videos. I used to wake up at 14 years old in Miami where there was no hip-hop on the radio and watch YonTv Raps on Saturday at 10 in the morning. And I remember watching Shook Ones and watching Prodigy on the old school BMW on the Queensberry's, all the Killers and the $100 Builders. When he came out in the alley, this is how well I know the video. When he came out in the alley with the back stoop. He had the blue Hennessy jersey. Havoc had the red

Hennessy jersey. I might have that reversed, but they both had Hennessy jerseys. Drake and Hennessy. That was one of the most illest, iconic,

because I'm a real fan of the 90s, just garage hardcore rap videos. You got to stalk off the realness. We're the immigrants. You heard of us.

Official Queensbridge murderers. Marcos equipped with waterbed beware. From a crime family who got enough shots to share. For all those who want to follow the rules. I'll rock you in your face, stab your brain with your nose bowl. You all alone in the streets, cousin. Every man for himself when his land be be done in.

Getting closer to God In a tight situation now Take your words back and think it through Oh, the next one, all right, might be about you So they shook Cause ain't no such thing as halfway crooks Cause scared to death and scared to look They shook
