Right now, when you talk the greatest rapper alive in hip hop, this guy was the closest person to him. I always wanted to ask him, did Lil' C's cripple him? He said that in the rhyme. I've seen that the other day.
Starting point is 00:03:28 He said, did Lil' C's cripple me? I definitely did. You was a part of a legendary group, Junior Mafia. Sure. Also, one of the all-time best female emcees ever was close to her as well. You've been a part of the bad boy movement, Junior Mafia movement. You've been a part of the bad boy movement bar do your mafia movement You've been a part of this hip-hop thing for so long right now. We got a big up little seeds in the motherfucking To little seeds crippled me
Starting point is 00:04:02 To little seeds cripple me what? You was in a car accident? Yeah, we was in a car accident. Okay, because you was like the driver. I heard Big never drove. Never drove. Never drove. Never drove a day in his life. Okay, so what happened?
Starting point is 00:04:13 We had got arrested the day before that. Let's make some noise for Little C's and Big. You're getting arrested. Yeah. We had got arrested downtown Brooklyn for some bud. And they took our truck. When we got the truck back that day. The Lex truck? Yeah, the Lexus. We got some bud, and they took our truck. When we got the truck back that day- The Lex truck?
Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah, the Lexus. Okay, yup. We got it back, the shit didn't work. So they had to ship the shit to the car dealership. We went there the next morning to pick up a loaner's car. And it was a Lumina van. A Lumina van. Yeah, we traded in a Lexus car for a Lumina van.
Starting point is 00:04:38 And I was like, B.R., shouldn't we get a Lexus? He was like, nah, we gonna ride low. Let's just take this job. And I jumped in that shit, and we were driving around this little fork, and the shit just sped out of control. I ran into a rail. How old were you at that time? About 16.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And you was already driving. I was already driving. No license. Speak some noise for you not having a license. She was doing a lot of things. Had no L's. Driving dirty as Kay Rosewood. You want to answer it?
Starting point is 00:05:04 Yeah. Yeah, so that's what happened. He fucked up his leg. I had to get these gold fronts to replace two joints that was fucked up. That's why he had to put down the rhyme and play me like that. And that's why he always had the cane, too, right? Because that time in the radio station when he said that rhyme, was that the first time you heard that rhyme?
Starting point is 00:05:19 No, no, I heard the song already. Because you looked at Sean. He already blew me. He already blew you up. He already killed me. I had to accept that one, though. You know what I mean? I took one for the team.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Right. So now, also, right, I wanted to ask this question. This comes via Shaheem Reed, I believe. My man Shah? He said, what were Biggie's plans for the commission album with Jay? And who else was supposed to be in that group? What label was it supposed to with Jay? Who else was supposed to be in that group? What label was it supposed to be on? And who was supposed to be in it?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Damn, the commission. Yeah, the commission. He didn't have no label idea for it yet. So he didn't know what label he was going to do it on. It probably was going to be on Undears. That was his label with Un. He probably was going to do it on there depending on probably what Jay was going to do. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:00 But the commission was me, Jay-Z, Charlie Baltimore, Big, and Un. Wow. And Un the rhyming? No, but Un was like, he was just going to play like the boss of it. I spoke to him. And that was his way of pushing Charlie out. He was going to push Charlie through the commission shit. So that's how he was going to break that down.
Starting point is 00:06:17 I actually spoke to Un the other day, and it was crazy because Un said to me, he said, you know what's the craziest shit, Nori? Nobody's never interviewed him about Big. Like, he was his business partner. That's real. So, you know, I was doing drink chats. He had to sit there and just think about it and was like, yo, you know what? Nobody never really asks me about Big.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Because I guess what happened after Big, because Cam was supposed to be signed to you guys, right? Undias, was it labeled Undias? Undias. On Sony. Yeah, because Cam was actually Big's artist, you know? And Capone. Oh, and Capone, yes, yes. B.I. was signed to B.I.
Starting point is 00:06:57 B.I. was signed to B.I. That was B.I. favorite right here. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I was so scared. I was so scared of to tell you, I'm going to tell you. You got to tell that story again. I'm going to tell you, too. I was so scared. I was so scared of Big because that's all I listened to in jail. I was fucking with Norm. That's all I was listening to in jail.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So I seen him in front of Hot 97. And he was like, yo, he asked something. He asked to rhyme. And I was shook. But Capone did rhyme. And he was like, yo, I'm making you Junior Mafia tomorrow. Word is born. And I was so hated.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I was like, he's leaving me. I'm like, yo, I'm fucked up. He was trying to get the squad. Nasheem used to always put us on to your shit. And you know what the crazy shit was? When Big, in the movie, when Big's making these last phone calls, the crazy shit was Big had called me and he played me T.O. and Y. And I was like, it's time. Wait a minute, say this again? Yes. He called you? He called me and was like, yo. That. and Y. And I was like, Wait a minute, say this again? Yes. He called you?
Starting point is 00:07:46 He called me and was like, I'm going to be our favorite records, my nigga. I'm fucking with this. And at the time, T.O. and Y's not out. So I'm thinking, they bootlegging me, baby. I'm like, yo, where'd you get that from? And I told him he didn't put two and two together
Starting point is 00:07:58 that Nasheen was a bad way to do something. That's how we used to get shit. We could get put on to shit. So I didn't know. So just imagine that, like getting that call. And I'm worried about, yo, my shit is bootleg. It's over with me. So now, see,
Starting point is 00:08:12 you've been your whole childhood. So did you, was he always the best rapper alive? Or you knew, you knew? He was nice back then. I just knew from the rip he was dope. You know what I'm saying? We didn't think he was going to be to the level of what it is now. Or what he became even when he was out. We didn't think it was that, but he was nice.
Starting point is 00:08:31 What was the age difference between y'all? Five years. Like the big brother. Yeah, when he was 20, I was 15 years old. Just running around. He took me out the street since I was 11. Make some noise for that, goddammit. You know him since I was like five, six years old when I was in public school. See him on Fulton Street and then another five years, I was on that same strip trying to hustle and do all that shit and he seen that shit running in me like, nigga, that
Starting point is 00:08:59 ain't true. Like just- Get the fuck out of here. Nah, I'm going to take you and you're going to do something else. Let's move a different way. Yeah, took me out of that. Nah, I'm going to take you with me. You're going to do something else. It's moving a different way. Yeah, it took me out of that zone ASAP. You know what's funny? A lot of people give Jay-Z credit for putting a lot of his friends on, but a lot of people don't really realize that Big did that first.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Nah, yeah. You saw that. Look how many people came from that camp. Cam Ron, Lil' C's, Charlie Baltimore. The whole Junior Mafia. The whole Junior Mafia. Andias. Andias. Being a movie director. Jacob York is still out here doing some shit.
Starting point is 00:09:26 He got Caruce and all that. Big you up, Jacob York. He had a club in Atlanta. Jacob out there doing big shit. And all that came from just B.I. getting put on. It set off all them pipelines for anybody to do a bunch of shit. Was that his plan from the beginning? Was like, I'm going to get on.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Because then you had that album. What's that album? That's one of my favorites. That was like one of the most slept on albums in the world, my brother. Appreciate that, bro. Appreciate that, my G. Why do that album. What's that album? That's one of my favorites. That was like one of the most slept on albums in the world, my brother. Appreciate that, bro. Appreciate that, my G. Why do you think people slept on that album?
Starting point is 00:09:50 I just think Atlantic didn't push it. I don't think they pushed it the right way. You know what I'm saying? And the money that we had that they gave us, we used it wrong. We shoot on expensive ass videos, $60,000, $80,000 videos. And once you do that first video, it don't work.
Starting point is 00:10:01 They don't want to shoot no more videos. They're like, nah, let's see what happens in another two weeks, another month, shit don't move, and they just kind of just let it go, you know what I mean? But as long as people liked it and accepted it, I was cool with that, you know what I'm saying? I always wanted to ask, like, Crush On You video, right? That was, like, the first time we seen a female change wigs.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Like, did you, like, she was, like, she, like, you know she changed wigs, like, man. Like a wardrobe change. Like a wardrobe change. Was that something that y'all was like, this is dope? Or was you like, because, you know, sometimes you be skeptic or something and it didn't work. You'd be like, yeah, oh, I knew it all along. But you know, deep down inside, you're like, this is a risk. Us as little niggas, we just sat around and just let, that was un, that was all un shit.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Wow. Being gave un the shot, like, to do the partnership with Undears. And un the one that was doing the ideas for the videos. Undears did all our videos. Get Money, Players Anthem, Crush On You. We just did whatever he said to do. Yeah, he directed all those videos. That was his way in the business.
Starting point is 00:10:56 You know what I'm saying? Did he have prior experience in the business? Nothing. That's crazy. He came straight from the streets. Straight trap and went from hustling and went behind the camera and was like, I got some ideas. And they trusted him and all them shits
Starting point is 00:11:06 just happened to pop and they rocked for us we didn't say no we just PYP played our position where you want me to go go here go here
Starting point is 00:11:13 and just so happened the shit actually the shit blew up you know what I'm saying and that was all within us that was all the fam team we was like big we was like Big Guinea
Starting point is 00:11:21 we was his creation he was learning all that shit from Puff and was like no I ain't taking Junior Mafia to Puff. This is going to be my own thing. Let me see if I can learn what I learned from him. That's very interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Because Junior Mafia was on Atlantic. That's very interesting. Everybody was like, why y'all didn't sign the bad boy? Even at that time, they was trying to spread rumors. But I always seen Big cool with Puff. We just always been like a second family. No, that was Big. That was B.I.'s shit.
Starting point is 00:11:45 You know what I'm saying? B.I. created us through a whole other pipeline. Everything he learned from Puff, he kind of tested it with us. Right. And the shit worked. The shit worked. Let's make some noise for B.I.G., goddammit. What do you think B.I.'s next move would have been?
Starting point is 00:12:00 Like, he was doing things monumental. So what was his next move would have been had he been alive? His whole thing was the music. That's all. That nigga was a fan of music. His next thing was Kim, Taze, and the number Junior Mafia project. He wanted to do the commission shit. He was going to sign Kim.
Starting point is 00:12:18 This shit was about music. He wanted to set up his own empire. That was a big whole thing. Like, yo, dawg, I just want to give it a bunch of nice niggas and put some shit together and just let it run from there. He wanted to do five albums and retire. He was going to write my albums after that. I'm just going to write a bunch of Lil C's albums. You got to let Biggie write your rhymes. You can't let everybody write your rhymes. Biggie, you got to relax. You got to relax.
Starting point is 00:12:37 He knew me my whole life, so it was easy for him to write for me. I got built into being that shit. I didn't sit back. I didn't want to be a rapper. I wasn't 10 years old, 11 years old, telling my y' yo, I'm ready to spin. I'm ready to get busy. I love the music. I love listening to it. You know, that was my thing. But I never thought about rapping.
Starting point is 00:12:51 It was just a thing for him. Like, all right, this little nigga, he got the wave. He know what to do. So before you even knew it, he told you, you're going to be rhyming. Yo, I'm going to write you an album. All right. All right, cool. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I'm down. Say no more. Yeah, what you want me to do? Because I was rocking with him, doing the hype man stuff with him. So we would do, like, colleges and Let's go. I'm down. Say no more. Yeah, what you want me to do? Right. Because I was rocking with him, doing the hype man stuff with him. So we would do colleges and shit like that and all these little kids would be going crazy. He'd be watching that shit like, okay, only thing I need to do is just write him some rhymes.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Right. You know what I'm saying? Write him some little cool ass rhymes. He's going to be this little cool kid with the knapsack, Tommy Hilfiger. He should tell me he don't want no niggas to like me. Just all bitches. Yeah, that's why you was on a kit with no shirt on. That's why I crushed on you. With the LL Cool J hat on and no shirt on. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? want no niggas to like me. Just all bitches. Yeah, that's why you was on a kit with no shirt on. That's why I crushed on you.
Starting point is 00:13:25 With the LL Cool J hat on and no shirt on. Yeah. That was my creation after that. The big one on my album was supposed to be some straight, like, bow wow, puppy love. That was the name of my album, Puppy Love. It's a real cool, bunch of crushed on me, Trevor Reddick.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Yeah, I was going to say, I'm glad you didn't do that. Now, when he died, I can't, my whole shit was like, the wonderful world of Cesar Leo. That was me with the Kengo, butt ass with the bitch's hands covering me. That was Cesar Leo idea. Like, all right, I need to make a different kind of approach to my shit. Now, the movie, I heard Lil' Kim express some feelings that she thought it wasn't accurate or something. Then I heard people speak on the movie, and they say, oh, I see he's so young in the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:02 But I heard you address that and say a lot of people don't know he was 15, 16 at that time, so that character. So how did you feel? Was the movie accurate to you? Nah, not all of it, you know what I mean? 60% of the movie, you ain't going to never be able to get 100% of the real movie, though. There's just some things you're just going to never be able to say and put out there. People got to understand.
Starting point is 00:14:19 What was something you wish they didn't put in there, like, that wasn't accurate? Or that was accurate that you didn't want in there? I mean, it wasn't about what wasn't accurate in the movie. You know what I mean? It ain't like they put a lot of fake shit in it. It's just that a lot of the shit that they didn't put in it, and they just added little shit to some parts that was real.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You know what I'm saying? So it was kind of like basically real. It was just more of an outside shit of big. Like, you know, his mom shot that movie. She wanted to show people just how big was outside of the music shit of Big. His mom shot that movie. She wanted to show people just how Big was outside of the music, more or less. Right, because that's how she see us. You had to put some monumental moments in there that people already know about. You
Starting point is 00:14:51 know about the Tupac shit. You know about the East Coast and West Coast. Shit like that, you can't stray away from. You got to put in there. His mom didn't want none of that in there. She straight just wanted to be about her son outside of the music. Did you get to see the Tupac movie yet? Nah. I want to see it, though. Yeah, because there's something very interesting going on in the game right now.
Starting point is 00:15:08 From Massive Flex is taking an approach. You actually said on the podcast, not the podcast, excuse me, the live stream. What did you say exactly?
Starting point is 00:15:17 Because now your name is in this. Yeah. They brought you in here. Sunday Studio. Let me try to get out and bring you back in. Yeah, so what happened? What happened was he was talking about the whole incident,
Starting point is 00:15:26 and he wanted to know if- At Quad Studio. At Quad Studio. He wanted to know if Pac shot himself resisting. When he asked me, I was there, and I just said, from what I know, I never said it was true, for there's a fact I wasn't there when that situation happened. I was coming downstairs in the elevator,
Starting point is 00:15:41 and I just stated that, and just that one little line I said when I said, from what I know, he shot himself. And you wrote it, too. Yeah, and he put my shit on blast elevator and I just stated that and just that one little line I said when I said from what I know you wrote it so People been knew about this I don't talk about this shit when your time nobody never Everybody's We've talked about this shit plenty of times. Nobody never took it no way before. It's been a heavy rumor. It's been a heavy rumor. Everybody knew that. So let's be clear. So what's the rumor? He did not shoot himself five times. He shot himself pulling out?
Starting point is 00:16:10 From what is heard on the streets through the birds and birds, they said that he stepped on him. I guess he tried to grab and he was pulling out. So when they heard the shot, that's how they shot him because they were reacting. They were thinking, you know what I'm saying, that they were thinking he was shooting at them. So in a sense, he shot first. That's the rumor. Yeah, he shot himself.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And he shot himself. And that's what triggered off everything. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So that's what happened. And people kind of took it like we was, you know, they was cracking jokes. So I was in with that. No, I just answered the question.
Starting point is 00:16:36 That was it. And then my name got thrown up in that shit. But I ain't really going to talk about that shit. You know what I mean? Yeah. Nah. This part of the industry shit with social media now, you got to just understand that's just what it is.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Oh, it would have been terrible. You know who would have had, you know, the kilt social media, though, pun, and Biggie, because them niggas' personalities was L. Like, those fat niggas got good personalities. Yeah. I think Pac would have been Afrocentric on social media. I don't think that nigga would have been terrorizing people.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah. How was the transition? Because you knew Pac and Big when they were cool. Yeah. Like, even in the movie, it's like, you see Big and you say, yo, Pac is in the joint. And that was all love. So, how was that to see that transition?
Starting point is 00:17:20 Because... I mean, it was fucked up because Big really had genuine love for him up because they know big Willie had genuine love for him and we all know he had genuine love for big too right let me let me let you know something if something if someone is someone wanted to happen it could have happened right I'm saying nothing could have stopped that though we was we were seeing each other in plenty places and if something could happen it would so you saying whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you saying as
Starting point is 00:17:41 these records is out y'all was seeing each other each other a few times at the Soul Train Awards when they rolled up on us. Okay, I remember that. Something could have happened at that time if they wanted to. And Nas, too. Yeah. Situations happened before, but it just never went there. And I just think he didn't really want that. I just think he had a lot of people behind him pushing him.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And it was vice versa. You had people in our ear, too. It got out of control. Pushing that negative shit in us, too. You know what I'm saying? But they never would have did nothing to each other. Because genuinely, he knew Big had love for him. And Big knew he had love for him. I just think he was just going with a
Starting point is 00:18:09 situation. You got niggas that just bailed you out of jail and you owe your loyalty to that. He ain't do nothing wrong about that. Rob Markman, Jr.: Two Geminis too. Rob Markman, Jr.: Took you out of a situation. Big K, Jr.: But we're both of them Geminis. Rob Markman, Jr.: Yeah. And they both died the same way. That shit is so crazy. Six months apart, the same kind of situation. The albums, Machiavelli, and the way they died.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Don't even make sense that that happened. All that shit is just like a whole weird thing. I was just thinking it was just, that's just how it was meant to be, dog. You can't change it. You can't like do the what ifs and it was just, they both got caught up in a bad situation, my nigga. And they ain't deserve that. Rest in peace to both of them, bro. Rest in peace to the Pops and the B.I.P.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I always wish they had passed it up because I think that would have been the illest. And they would. They would. I spoke to Young Noble, because we did a record together for K Slade called Bury the Hatches, I did with the Outlaws. And you know, it took us 15 years for us to sit down and talk, my nigga. You know what I'm saying? Like, we ain't like each other for 15 years, and none of us never even met each other or knew each other, nothing. And one day, we spoke to a female. One day I'm talking to this chick and she must have said my name real loud. And young noble heard it, grabbed the phone from her.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yo, who this? Real aggressive. And I'm just like, this Steve. This young noble outlaws. I'm like, I heard you. What's up? This young noble outlaws. I heard you.
Starting point is 00:19:22 What's good? And we sat there and we talked for about two hours. We got a chance To really speak on shit He ain't know a lot of shit That was going on on our side I ain't know a lot of shit That was going on over there And we spoke
Starting point is 00:19:31 And then he came to New York one day And we got up and sat down And kicked it Them my niggas to this day And he said yo When Pop was going to Vegas Before that He was like yo
Starting point is 00:19:39 When he come back from Vegas He was going to sell that shit with Big Wow Damn Wow You know what I mean So that shit was going to get deaded You know what I mean Eventually You know what I I mean it was gonna get squashed he really knew
Starting point is 00:19:47 what happened he knew what was going on he knew big didn't have nothing to do with that he knew we didn't have nothing to do with that I just think he was just caught up in a situation I'm just by the first or two of his things that big did to change it he was he was young we don't realize how young they were dog like you know in his 40s making these type of mistakes we should make it we supposed to be fucking up at this age. We kids. I look at it now because I'm over 30 years old. I'm almost 40.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So I look at it now like, damn, these niggas are actually babies, dog. Niggas ain't know no better. And Big was acting pretty damn mature at that time. We didn't know how big he was.
Starting point is 00:20:16 He was acting real mature about it. Let me tell you something.

Starting point is 00:27:19 Before any Tupac record. That's supposed to have been for Mary J. album. That's supposed to have been the intro to her first album. Get the fuck out. Who Shot Ya? My Life. It's supposed to have been the second album. The intro supposed to be the intro to her first album. Get the fuck out. Who shot you? My Life. It's supposed to be the second album. The intro to the second album. It was too hard for it.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Who shot you? Go fuck Jadon Kidd to the building. We got to put you over there. We got to put you over there. We got to put you over there, Kidd. I'm sorry. I've been hanging out with my man for about a week. Yeah, Kidd's serious.

He don't play no games and would drink with you. So you said Who Shot Ya was done for what? That was for Mary J. Blige. That was the intro to her second album. The intro to the second album? It was Keith Murray, LL Cool J, and Big on it.
Starting point is 00:27:59 What, Who Shot Ya? Yeah, that's the original. What the sex? Keith Murray, LL Cool J, and Big. Wait, wait, Who Shot Ya originally was Keith Murray, LL Cool J, and Big. Wait, wait, who shot you originally was Keith Murray? LL Cool J, and B.I. And it was the intro to Mary J. My Life album. I never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And they was like, yo, this is too hard to start off an R&B album. And once they scratched it, B.I. was like, give me the record. I'm going to fuck with it. And B.I. added a second verse to it and took it. It was a B-side record and put it on the B-side to, what, Big Papa, One More Chance, it was on? And we just ran with it. So that record was way before that. But it did feel like Big was coming at Pop.
Starting point is 00:28:32 It did feel. You say it's a coincidence that. I mean, I'm telling you, I had the vinyl. White label. No, I noticed it was out. But it still did. I'm like, yo, why would people think that when they know they already heard this record before? Because the masses in here.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It slipped out with just Big first verse. We can do Generation Stupid now. They've been stupid. You know what I'm saying? You can see. Why would people think that when they know they already heard this record before because the message is big Generation stupid now they've been stupid Why y'all why would y'all think that but I understand just from the situation and that's crazy time I knew how it was But we didn't know big this what it though big new big new it was big new that's no he like man He know that song in about you know that song was done before that you know I mean so big I'm gonna trip off that when big is on stage, and they kind of born them and oh that was real We was a Sacramento and shit Sacramento Sacramento it was a bunch of like West Coast on his booked on that show If not you for you be legit.

Starting point is 00:29:26 You know what I mean? We didn't know about this interview. This interview that BiggerPoison did with this dude from Toronto, he put a bunch of shit in there saying Big was dissing wild West Coast artists and shit. And I remember walking through that shit and the nigga Mack 10 bumped me and shit. What? You know I walk through the spot, like the circus spot, see what's in there, see what type of bitches is in there.

They just didn't want to feel like they was getting to them or they was intimidating him. Like, all right, fuck them. Y'all want to do that? All right.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Who shot you, E? Enough of trying to hold that shit. Now you start like, who shot you, E? Who shot you, E? Throw it on. And he threw that shit on. That shit just changed the whole momentum and shit. We got follow backs, be legit followers back to the hotel that day and all that shit, man.

No, that was some of Big's honest shit, though. He even destroyed Shaq. Like, he's foul. Big had no... He even destroyed Shaq.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Like, he's foul. Come on, man. He destroyed Shaq. He said, Shaq, you get it, too. That was the only record with him and Nas on it. One of those verses was for Shaq. Shaq said he couldn't say that. One of the B.I. verses that he said was for Shaq this year.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Shaq went in and wrote his own thing. Shaq couldn't say it. He couldn't say it. Basketball, politics, your dog. I can't say anything that you got me saying, my nigga. I sell sneakers. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I'm up here with kids. So did Shaq write his own rhyme on that record? Who wrote it? He came back, he had a verse on there. We was going, we was at the hotel.
Starting point is 00:50:35 But wasn't Nas on that record as well? I don't know. I believe, it's a version, the only version between Big and Nas. I only heard the one we did,
Starting point is 00:50:43 we went to Shaq Crib and that shit got recorded right there. Is that the same time that they're talking shit about each other? No, it's the same record. But no, the same time that they're talking shit. The Nas and Big? Yeah. What record did Big go at Nas?
Starting point is 00:50:54 Kicking the Door. Kicking the Door. What was that line? I didn't pick that. What was that line? Because Nas came back. He said some shit. It was the whole, that whole skit.
Starting point is 00:51:02 He was like, niggas is champagne. Last year they wasn't champagne. now i said a line he said he took the crown of the so-called king and lock it down freestyle he did a big peep that and that was big response to the uh the third verse to kick in the door what did he say again this goes out for those that choose to use disrespectful views on the king and why fuck that watch right don't believe Brailing it snatch that light shit scaling the conscience of your nuns 88 so more powder than Johnson and Johnson I have to catch on to shit.
Starting point is 00:51:47 I still catch on to some shit now. I'm like, damn, dog. I ain't know what that shit meant. No, I do too. I used to have to ask Biggie, what you mean by that? What's that? But that's where that came from. Because I asked him. You know what I know about Biggie?
Starting point is 00:51:54 Where that came from, he played the freestyle. I was like, listen. He's not even using big words. It's his flow. It's his delivery. And the way he said the words, man. It was just so clear. Conscience of your nonsense.
Starting point is 00:52:07 We had to relax back there. We could know he was big. I was too young to catch that back then. Now, Charlie Baltimore. She's my sister. That's my fan right there. But I've never seen nobody never mess with Charlie. Everybody she messes with, she turns them out.
Starting point is 00:52:29 What does that mean? Yeah. Why I got quiet? You just hit the nod there. I don't know. No, I'm just saying. She's a beautiful girl. She's my sister.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I love her. But, you know, it seems like when a man messes with Charlie, Hey, mess with Charlie. Huh? What? Oh, these are called the slime linens. Slime linens? Slime linens, y'all.
Starting point is 00:52:55 We can change the subject quick. Let's go. This my man. This my man. You know that was a professional curve right there. This my man, Jordan. This my man, Jordan. I didn't feel right about that either.
Starting point is 00:53:03 I didn't feel right about that either. I didn't feel right about that either. I didn't feel right about that either. I didn't feel right about that either. I didn my sister. That's all. This my man. This is professional. You know that was a professional curve right there. This my man. This my man. This my man. This my man. I didn't feel right about that either. You know what?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Now, let me take the question another way. Let me take the question another way. Because Charlie was messing with Big at the same time. I'm going to go right back to that. No, no, but a different way. A different way. Yeah, but Charlie was messing with Big at the same time as Lil' Kim. So that was where their turmoil started.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Not really. They didn't really have no turmoil. There wasn't really no situation. Right. When it came to B.I. And he wasn't with Faith, too, at the same time? No, Faith and Kim just squashed it. And they cool again.
Starting point is 00:53:36 That's hard. B.I. had all that situated. B.I. was real cool like that. B.I. was putting it down like that. None of that was going on. You wouldn't peep it. You wouldn't notice it. He was smashing everything
Starting point is 00:53:45 Let's make some noise for big Wonderful love yeah, it was a wonderful day big big fat black motherfucker boy not only this must be romantic I just feel like big fat thing is this romantic most mobile man. I think pun was very romantic. I don't know, maybe there's something about that. I used to see the nigga with roses all the time. I said, why you got roses? Why you got roses? Just for no reason. What are you doing, my brother? He just speaking a little Spanish.
Starting point is 00:54:14 He just speaking a little Spanish. Let me get that light. Yeah, this nigga was just cool. Yeah, we back. See, he's got it. See, he's got it. So, oh, got a little awkward. It's dope. It's dope. It's dope. It's dope. It's good, it's good
Starting point is 00:54:25 It's good to get that awkward sometimes He was really big pimping, dog He was really pimping out there Now, let's describe Puff at that time, right? Because at that time, y'all just getting to know this guy, right? And according to the movie, it's like He gave Big a check And he gave Big all these promises
Starting point is 00:54:42 But he really had no accolades to match that. As opposed to, like, you know, I mean, he worked it up, but not for himself. But still, he had some accolades. But he had Jodeci. He did match that up, John. But he didn't have them. But he was a part of that creation.
Starting point is 00:54:58 He was a part, but what I'm saying is... For that era, what he was doing was... This is his first label, Bad Boy, so... Yeah, but I think you can't win some credibility. Who's going to make his career? So what do you think made y'all in general and Big even trust this guy? B.I. fuck with him. I think B.I. just knew he knew what he was doing.
Starting point is 00:55:16 He was devoted to B.I. That's one thing I couldn't say about him. He was loyal. When it came to B.I., he was straight up with Big. I can't knock that. I can't take that away. It wouldn't be no B.I. if it wasn't for Big. You know what I mean? I can't knock that. I can't take that away. It wouldn't be no B.I. if it wasn't for him.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It wouldn't be for Puff. That's real shit. Straight up. That's just the real shit ever. And B.I. fuck with him. At the end of the day, we fuck with him if Big did. I hate the rumors.
Starting point is 00:55:33 B.I. was the boss, dog. You know what I mean? At the end of the day, if he say it's cool, it's cool. Who am I to say, I don't fuck with him or it's this and that? B.I. is the one that got us on this flight right now, dog. So I hate the rumors. The rumors of Puff having beef with Big. Can you the one that got us on this flight right now, dog. So I hate the room. The room was a puff having beef with Big. Can you just squash that for us?
Starting point is 00:55:49 It wasn't no beef with him and Big at all, my nigga. And was there any animosity between Craig Mack and Big? Nah. Big finished him too. Big finished him too. He finished him too. It's a fact. No, no, I don't think there was, buddy.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Mack used to be doing a bunch of funny style shit, and B.I. used to just catch wind of it, and then B.I. just started blowing them. Right. Like, all right, my nigga, you want some real bullshit. All right, fuck you, you hating on the road. Because from the outside, it looks crazy. This one artist launches the label. No, Big finished him. And then the next artist, it's a wrap.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Flamin' Ya 8 came out. Remember the Big Mack? Mack, he used to be throwing a little shit at B.I. once in the blue. No, Juicy wasn't as compatible as Flavor In Your Ear. But B.I. had a whole album full of shit. Once Big Papa came,
Starting point is 00:56:36 and Get Down, and One More Chance, and now Mack's sitting in the back. He used to be doing a little funny style shit. Big was peeping it, and Big just started like, all right, I'm going to start blowing this nigga.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I mean, that was all B.I. He did what he wanted to do. He said what he wanted to say. We had to just sit back and just, all right. Whatever he say, whatever he doing, we riding with it. That's it. Nobody had no problems with Mack. And it wasn't no real situation, but Mack just used to do little funny shit and Big
Starting point is 00:57:01 was peeping it, and Big just addressed it. You see that one interview we did in Holland, it was like, Big, is Craig Mack on the album? Big said, Mack? Nah, I don't fuck with him. I'm at the interview. Oh, YouTube this. Wait, YouTube it. I put my head down, I'm like, I look at my homeboy, I look at Rock and them, they all
Starting point is 00:57:19 sitting over there like- Remind you of Meek and Wale almost, like how they be beefing on the same label. It reminds you of that. It happens, dog. It's just industry shit. It's nothing to be personal. It's nothing to get physical. No, I mean, listen, Big was making those records that the label had to pay attention
Starting point is 00:57:34 to him, and it's automatically when you get it, not shitted on, but when you're getting ignored for somebody that y'all both came in the game together. It wasn't Craig Mack's fault. I'm sure he felt a certain way, but it wasn't Big Fort neither. He just go on the floor. He put the nigga going to get him. He got to do it. That's all.
Starting point is 00:57:51 That's it. He in the synagogue now. He in the church now. You got to just go with it. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah. He running some shit. Yeah, he doing something.
Starting point is 00:57:58 It's positive. Not that I. That's what Spock. Not a source of words. We have Puff on here. Puff said, when Shug said that, he could have shot it down. Was you there?
Starting point is 00:58:08 He did say that. He said we could have. He edited it. He edited it. He took it out? We didn't edit it. We didn't edit it. We going to put that foot in the video.
Starting point is 00:58:16 No, we're not going to put that foot in the video. We said I could have shot it down though. He was on Six Sides of the Rock at this time too. No, you didn't. No, I was in jail. I'm sorry. You were in jail? No, I was in jail, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:24 I missed that one. But he meant Ciroc at this time too. No, you didn't. No, I was in jail. I'm sorry. You were in jail? No, I was in jail, yeah. I missed that one. But he meant well. I missed that one too. I thought I was in my mind.
Starting point is 00:58:32 In my mind, I was there. I forgot. Yeah, you've been through a lot of shit. I forgot about that. Now, that's also why that was probably the most dangerous award
Starting point is 00:58:40 ever for hip hop. And Bezzino said that was, he said he didn't have security. He was too, he said in his words, that they wasn't on point to high security. Is this the same one,
Starting point is 00:58:50 the whole Tribe and Tupac thing? The same one? No, that's the next, that's the year after. This is the first year of the Sauce Awards. The first, the very first one.
Starting point is 00:58:56 When Silk said, yo, I don't want y'all all in the video dancing. In the video, yeah. Yeah, it's a meme right now. Like, with Silk, they say, I bet he was wishing
Starting point is 00:59:03 he was in all of these videos dancing. I said, y'all niggas are off. Yeah, that's bad. Y'. Like, with Suga, they say, I bet he was, wish he was on all of these videos. I said, y'all niggas are off. Yeah, that's bad. Y'all niggas are off. That meme is terrible. Don't do that. Don't do that. Big up to Suga wherever you at, Suga. It's love.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Nah, but that shit was, I mean, shit could have got, yeah, shit could have got hectic. I mean, it was already at that point. Niggas could have shut it down, see? Yeah, it could have got bad in there. Because that was in New York, right? Oh, yeah, at the Garden. That was the Garden. They never gave the Garden back to hip-hop since. Yeah, it could have got bad in there. Because that was in New York, right? Oh, yeah, at the Garden. That was at the Garden. They never gave the Garden back to hip-hop since.

Starting point is 01:23:08 Shots was fired. Period. Yes, it was something crazy. In front of Hot 97. In front of Hot 97. Shots fired. My records banned. In case someone didn't know.
Starting point is 01:23:15 Pull his records. Did they pull your records? Yeah. He didn't play for two years. Pull your records. It changed Hot 97's protocol. And to tell you the truth, to tell you the truth,
Starting point is 01:23:25 if Power 105 at that time, if Power 105 didn't exist, I don't think Hot would have still forgave us. What happened was, Hot realized who did whatever, whatever, and then they put us back. Then they said, okay, but to tell you the truth,
Starting point is 01:23:38 let's bring up the Hot 97, but why did they do it? The weak power rose. Like the weak power came. Because remember, we didn't have power when this shit happened. They knew we had problems with each other. And they booked us. Wait, you say it's a conspiracy theory?
Starting point is 01:23:52 Yo, no. We was from 12 to 3. I don't know. And they was from 3 to 5. Let's start the rumor. And they already know. We had records out. Right.
Starting point is 01:24:00 We already were expecting to see them, nigga, as soon as we come out. We leaving the station. They going to come in. Yep. What show were y'all doing? He just said it. It's 3 to 5. We was 12 to 3, and they was from 3 to 5.
Starting point is 01:24:11 Who's the host of the show? I believe we was Clue, and y'all was somebody else, right? Yeah, yeah. Because it was like a Memorial Day weekend. It was one of them weekends. And it was different people coming up. Why would you set up something like that for like, and y'all already know the situation.
Starting point is 01:24:24 It did. No, no, no, think about it. It's a conspiracy. No, no, you never thought up something like that? And y'all already know the situation. It did. It's not a conspiracy. It's a conspiracy. No, no. You never thought about it like that? It's a conspiracy. I'm like, yo, after all the shit that's been transpired, we like, yo, did they do that?
Starting point is 01:24:34 They knew the situation. This shit was going on. This was world going on. This shit was. Nah, I agree with you. We knew they was going to come there. And we knew they was going to be there too. They knew we was going to be there.
Starting point is 01:24:44 We all, we was all right. Both record yeah he won this one that did no he's never showed up I was I saw no reason court yes I see them in court after you had a good corporate no cases but the crazy same lawyer here's the crazy shit. When they came for the Hot 97 shit, they had locked a couple of niggas up on the spot. What happened was we didn't know we had the same lawyer. So I had to send the lawyer down. It's not Bar-Kalina, right?
Starting point is 01:25:17 It's Bar-Kalina. Bar-Kalina, dog. They did the same shit. Bar-Kalina, dog. He was great. He had the whole case, kids. He said, I'm doing this. I'm doing this. I'm doing this. That shit was so crazy. He got the whole case, kids. He said, I'm doing this.
Starting point is 01:25:27 That shit was so crazy. He got egged by out of jail that day. That shit was so crazy, the feds came in and said, you can't be a part of this at all. Yeah, they did it for my case. Because that was super illegal. He got dead for my case, dog. He was in our shit.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Tell him, this case went on for five years, bro. This shit happened with us in 2001. This shit didn't happen until 2005. He was in our sheet. Tell him, this case went on for five years, bro. Like, this shit happened with us in 2001. This shit didn't happen until 2005. Like, you know what I'm saying? But Barclay always said, hey, don't talk on phones. Yep. Save you some money.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Yep. Because that case is still open. Yes, yes. So you're like a mafia. This is what I'm trying to tell you. Listen. Every show I did, put $200 to the side, baby. Hold that, because that case ain't gold. That shit ain't cold case.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Yeah. No, that shit warm. Yo, you can roll with another one. Shit's still crazy. Yo, this is crazy. This is hip hop history right here. Oh, go. I'm the one that...
Starting point is 01:26:16 Yeah. Me and this nigga history here. Yeah. I'll shoot his life. And we always been cool in between and before that. It was just... We understood what happened. But y'all were cool when that happened?
Starting point is 01:26:24 Or did y'all have to... No, we was cool before that. We was cool before that. No, I know before that, but when it happened what happened is we all were cool like when that happened or did you know before that but when it happened did y'all have to know we know we knew immediately whatever that and whatever had happened we need to work that shit out because it was just the fat when the I'm a friend. I don't get fucked with shit and shit every day. Today, dog. That's how we eat. We'll be eating after that. Yeah, this is how we are. I'm going to end the game. No, my nigga, we don't have no problems. What's that shit called now?
Starting point is 01:26:51 I'm going to be honest. Now we're going to party. Cool, let's go. I'm going to be honest with you, E. It's not for everybody, dog. When I got subpoenaed, right, I'm going to be honest with you. I came like 20, 30 minutes early, right? They weren't supposed to let me in the room.
Starting point is 01:27:05 These niggas had a chart like we was the mafia for real. I swear, dog. That black book that ran around the industry? Who did a documentary about that black book? I'll tell you, bro. That state, this is fads, nigga. I walked in on a chalkboard. They had me at the top of this shit.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Then they had these other niggas. Then they had niggas positioned. I said, you got to relax. It's not even that serious this is not what y'all think this is you've been lying what are you doing with me tapes and phone conversations and when you met him here's the crazy shit and this is not like the quote unquote hip hop police no this is the feds now this is the it's the feds. The feds had them. They must have didn't do a show in Queens in two years.
Starting point is 01:27:49 But just maybe Queens, they had the money to pay them. So they bring that up. They're like, no, we ain't do a show in Brooklyn. I said, I don't know if I had on glasses on. But in my mind, I had on glasses. And I said, man, Brooklyn just ain't have the money to pay me, you idiots. Like, I feel like the feds are so smart, they dumb. Like, because the way they had this discussion, like, they really looked at us like we were some mock.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Like, the lawyer, her name is Valerie Amsterdam. Valerie Amsterdam. So I had to get a federal lawyer. I had to get a federal lawyer. I couldn't have a, no. This is your lawyer. This is my lawyer. She had to get a federal lawyer. I couldn't have a, no. This is your lawyer. This is my lawyer now. She had to come to me and say,
Starting point is 01:28:30 are you really like this? Are you Matt Monoriego? Are you like that? And I'm like, you got to relax. It's not, no. I'm a rapper, baby. But they, the way they described us, like we were supposed to go to jail for
Starting point is 01:28:45 50 years they had us and and you know what it is you got prior cases and all that shit so now yes yeah yeah yeah your tax bracket is different so they just looking at you like and then yeah I got man's that you know that's dumb I don't know what these niggas do I don't't know. They trying to put two and two together. They trying to add oil to all of us up. I think me and him meeting in that courtroom saved us from that situation. It saved it all because we had to sat back and I'm like, yo, is these people coming? They like, yo, this feds now. Like, oh no, this is serious. We got to relax. Like, yo, you tell y'all this is relaxed.
Starting point is 01:29:25 That's my friend. They got a chance to see that. We was drinking together in that studio. Feds is FBI. It's FBI. See, what happened is this. What we didn't know is anything that happens on a federal ground, the feds come and take it anywhere. The immigration buildings across the street from Hot 9. Oh, so that made it in their jurisdiction.
Starting point is 01:29:42 So when the state didn't want to carry it on, the feds took over that case. That's why it never went dead. That's why Bob Kalina always said, hey, y'all, that case ain't dead. Save your money. Save your guts. Don't talk.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Don't talk about that. Don't say this. We couldn't say, be careful. That shit ain't over. And we just sitting back, partying, having fun. And five years later, I was on probation. I go to my probation officer one day, they back there.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Serve me minds. Here, show up. Mm-hmm. Damn. Nah, and listen. For the record, for the record. FBI. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:30:18 About what? Some shit that you don't, forgot you, I don't know nothing about none of that shit, man. That shit don't, I don't know about that day no more. That shit was like five, six years ago. You fool. Yeah, I don't know nothing about none of that shit man. That shit don't I don't know about that day No, that's right five six years ago When I see did do not see what they was trying to say that we were, I calmed it all the way down. I almost agreed with them. Like, yes, I think.
Starting point is 01:30:57 And I'm like, uh-uh. We got to relax. Like, the whole thing had to change. Like, it was so much things But what I'm trying to tell you is They're not playing with us In hip hop So you know
Starting point is 01:31:08 Use me and C Because I don't know about you I can't speak about you And Kim's side But for that whole Two and a half years That I was banned From Hot 97
Starting point is 01:31:17 It was probably the worst money In my life That I was making Because ain't nobody Trying to hire you When you ain't got no record spinning. Like,
Starting point is 01:31:27 this industry is about what do you do right now, not what have you done for me in the past. So, I'm going to tell you as a person that was banned, so,
Starting point is 01:31:36 what happened with Hot 97 is they didn't just ban me from Hot 97, they banned me from MS Broadcast, which means every station, you can't do nothing. We couldn't do't do nothing Like it's the illest shit Promoters don't want to book you either
Starting point is 01:31:50 Because you already know the reputation of But I was fucked up It's a live buddy Or we just carry guns and they shoot up clubs I didn't complain I didn't complain You know but it was rough I don't know how it was for y'all.
Starting point is 01:32:05 No, we didn't complain. We thought it was regular. I didn't complain. It was rough for me. That's supposed to be our image. We're supposed to be like, nah, that's what we do. We rap. We get busy.
Starting point is 01:32:14 But at the end of the day, now clubs ain't booking you. No club want to book you. Can't go nowhere. They grilling you. It's so bad, Kiss, that a club can't book you and even book an ad on Hot 97. We can't say his name. We can't say. So in other states, it was affecting me.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Nobody didn't want to do nothing to you. Because whatever other stations MS owned, and they were trying to book me for a show, they would be like, uh-uh. Like, that was a rough period. Like, I never thought about this in my life. I don't know how it worked for y'all. And that's how that shit fucked that shit up.
Starting point is 01:32:43 You know what I'm saying? Like, we really, we had to work our way back in there. You had to see a lot of plays, a lot of free shows. And you had to get back in with braces of that. You know what I'm saying? But we were smart from the gate. When we saw each other in that court, I changed everything that we did.
Starting point is 01:32:59 My nigga, we got beef with each other. Nah, that's my whole point. Y'all understand what's chilling? We were just in court together doing community service. We both had community service. We got beef with each other. Nah, that's my home. You guys just chilling? Right, right, right. We just in court together doing community service. We have community service? We're in community service. We just didn't come out here for a movie.
Starting point is 01:33:09 I'm not gonna do a movie about this shit, bro. Let's do a movie about this shit. Community service is a movie. Where was the community service at? In Manhattan. We had to clean up the court building or the park. Yeah, yeah. It's your choice.
Starting point is 01:33:17 You want to clean the park or clean the courthouse? I don't want to be outside. I'll clean the courthouse. See, see, see. I'm not going to be outside. I'm going to clean the courthouse. See, see, see. See, see. See, see. See, see. See, see. See, see. Yeah, yeah, it's your choice
Starting point is 01:33:45 And like yo dog we'll be yo, and we went to the studio. Yup. Yup. Yup. Pino Grigio. Drank and we fucked around. I got a call from my lawyer that day, right the day after that. Yo, the fans want you to come in. And they came in and asked me, hey, when was the last time you spoke in a Sol Noriega? What?
Starting point is 01:34:03 What? What? Yesterday? What? Yesterday. We cool as shit. I can't have beef with somebody I'm friends with. Right. I was hanging out with him yesterday. We had Pinot Grigio.
Starting point is 01:34:13 We drank. We went to the studio. Right, right, right. We were just in the records. We coolin'. Right. How can we have a situation if we sittin' there and we kickin' and we chillin'? But that's what you had to do. And look, I want to clarify something because lately you
Starting point is 01:34:27 like well not lately but back then you upon received a bad rap because what happened was on a court going to court right so let me explain from from my point of view I wasn't there so nobody couldn't really subpoena me because my testimony doesn't mean shit cuz I really wasn't there. Right? So they didn't want to subpoena Foxy Brown. But the reason why they subpoenaed Pone and they subpoenaed Seas because Pone and Seas was there. It was there. So the minute you say the government subpoenas you, it's called a government's witness. So people from the hood who don't know no better, they automatically say he's a government's witness.
Starting point is 01:35:02 He's a snitch. That's not the word it is if you don't go what it is is you get you get a list of people who you can subpoena kim could have easily or anybody could easily say i'm a subpoena upon i'm a subpoena and you know what that would have been it would have been the defendant's witness you understand i'm saying oh whatever and whatever that is so they could have got on the stand and said nothing. But nobody covers that part. This is the fact that they, you know. Just the fact that you're living in a new generation where people don't know.
Starting point is 01:35:30 They don't know because you've never been through that. Because these could have got on the stand and said nothing. But they don't care about that. They don't care about that. The fact that you got up there automatically puts you in a predicament. And you have to go. When the feds say, nigga, you got to go, you got to go. There's nothing.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Now, you could go on there and say, I you gotta go. You gotta go. There's nothing. Now, you could go on there and say, I plead the fifth year. You could do all that. Yeah. But you ain't saying nothing to criminate or put nobody in no bad predicament or nothing. I don't know nothing. Nobody got arrested from that situation. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:35:57 How many people got subpoenaed from that shit? Nigga, 100? It was about 40 on your side? I feel like 600 people got subpoenaed. Yo, this shit was some real- I feel like my mom's got subpoenaed that day. People from Hot 97 got subpoenaed. It's crazy. It subpoenaed. Yo, this shit was so real. I feel like my mom's got a subpoena that day. People from hot 97 got subpoenaed.
Starting point is 01:36:06 It's crazy. It's crazy to anybody. Yo, this shit was a bad situation. But we was not acting like rappers. We was people that act like who we are today. So we ain't drinking and fucking around. This is who we been. That's why our era is the best, because we grew up in a real place.
Starting point is 01:36:20 And you know what's crazy shit was? There's no diss records. There's no tweets. There's no history to our whole shit. There's no, was? There's no diss records. There's no tweets. There's no history to our whole shit. There's no, there's no, like you know, like- There's one incident that- Like you look at people beef, it's like 17 things. Like no, there's just one thing that's done.
Starting point is 01:36:34 We was all street and smart enough to know relax is bigger than us. That's cool. But there's no like diss records and all this. Like nowadays, that's the first thing that happens. They go straight to the studio. We got part one and part two, part three and a diss. Nah, we don't have, we have one part. That was it.
Starting point is 01:36:53 And once we realized what was at stake, we was like, yo, dawg, let's tighten up. We cool. That's my man. Yup. Dawg, we straight. He's blunt with me, my brother. Come on, let's do that.
Starting point is 01:37:01 Let's make some noise for that, god damn it. Look at Kiss. Kiss is like, man, I shouldn't have took that tiger shot. His whole face looks like, I shouldn't have took that tiger shot. Yeah. You changed since the tiger hit you. Now, tiger bone. Let's describe tiger bone for people that listen to this.

Starting point is 01:48:21 Everybody be promoting Trump too much, man. That's how he won. I'd never put a meme up on that nigga, even if it was funny or whack. Everybody promoted him by putting that shit up, my man. I never put nothing up on him. Yeah, but you're giving him less. Even if it's a funny meme, stop giving him attention. And people don't see shit like that.
Starting point is 01:48:41 Not because of dudes that support him. They get more fire when they see people dissing him. They go in even more. It's always awkward when I walk through the airport and I see somebody with Make America Great Again. It's like, I just know I don't get along with you. So I just automatically go to the other side of the bar. I'll be like, oh, shit. I'll sit down.
Starting point is 01:48:59 I'll be like, hey, buddy. I'll be like, oh, no. Money, whatever. And I just go to the other side of the bar. And it's always like the whitest of the white guy. It's like, you know, he don't like hip hop. He just ride camels and cows. Camels?
Starting point is 01:49:14 He ride camels. I mean, horses. I don't know. It got weird. Definitely no camels. Yeah, it got weird. Not camels, yeah. Definitely no camels.
Starting point is 01:49:22 Definitely not. But it's all good. That shit be whack. That's why we can't, you know. We help him. Definitely no camels. But it's all good. That shit be whack. That's why we can't, you know. We helped him. We helped him win. Well, it wasn't we.
Starting point is 01:49:34 Our system was already broken, and that's why he won. Duh, but we helped him, too. Everybody thought the memes was funny. Jada, come on. Nigga, when shit got real, when shit got real, everybody was up there talking about, oh, I can't believe he's winning. Why you can't believe he's winning?
Starting point is 01:49:45 You just put up every meme. And I don't think everybody voted either. That was funny. You fucked up about it. I don't can't believe he's running why you can't believe he's when you just put up everything All our people get involved did you vote all of us? Hell no, you know what that's that's there you go. So that's it. You know what? Cuz that shit don't matter to take to my lobby hood I understand but that's the reason why he won too because all of us didn't vote. All of us. We really don't know why. We really don't know why he voted. I voted too. And I didn't want Hillary. And I was like, ah, Hillary. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 01:50:10 A lot of people don't know why. When it was Obama, not only did I try to vote, they wouldn't let me, but I brung people out to vote. Like, I didn't do that, this campaign. Well, next time,
Starting point is 01:50:18 we need to fucking do something. I didn't. Like, I had everybody come to Hollywood. I lived in Hollywood at the time. So I had everybody come to Hollywood, Florida. No, Florida. I was like, I never knew that about you. No, you I lived in Hollywood at the time. So I had everybody come to Hollywood, Florida. No, Florida. I was like, I never knew that about you. No, you only been in my house 17 times.
Starting point is 01:50:30 Yeah, but I had lived there that time. And I had set up, you know, my nephew, my wife, everybody, you know, and other people to come in. Oh, what a party. Yeah, to come and vote. You know what I'm saying? Damn that you vote. We had a felony in Florida. So if I didn't, if have had a felony just in new
Starting point is 01:50:46 york they would have let me vote but the fact that i actually you got a flaw in the phone yeah i got a flaw in the phone it's terrible we don't want to talk about it it's terrible what's it called what's it called a felony oh i thought you said a fart felony i was like what i mean i mean let's do that let's have that too let's have that too. Let's have that too. So, C's. What is next? What is next for C's in hip-hop? Wonderful World. This is Leo too.
Starting point is 01:51:12 Oh, shit. For our two. Oh, wow. Hey, get ahead. I got something for you. Get ahead. I got something. But that's my next project I'm working on, though. I got a little project coming out called The Heart of the City.
Starting point is 01:51:23 I'm going to put together this. The Heart of the City? You on that put together The Heart of the City You on that Okay The record we did With Harry Ferrand Okay cool I'll do a new one too Because I feel like that's old
Starting point is 01:51:32 So you know I'm reachable I'll do a new one You'll do a new one No problem Come on No problem We put that together
Starting point is 01:51:39 The first time No problem That's it We got the documentary Coming out for B.I.G For A&E It's coming out And that's it. And we got the documentary coming out for BRG for A&E. It's coming out June 28th for A&E. Yeah, I've heard about that. Dope.
Starting point is 01:51:48 Yeah, we'll be out here next week for the film festival. Okay. For me and doing the screening for it. And did you see the final product? What's the premise of the documentary? Yeah, it's just about B.I. life. Like his life. Yeah, but it's a more exclusive one.
Starting point is 01:52:03 But is it like they investigating a murder on it? Like any angle? It's the day one people from the gate. It's people that you probably never did an interview about big. You won't see on this one. Wow. It's a real dope one. His mom's produced it.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Faith produced it. You'll see his kids. It's a series or it's just one? No, it's just one series that's coming on A&E. It comes out June 28th. All right. We're going to be doing the music conference out here June 16th for it.
Starting point is 01:52:27 I'm working on the Heart of the City project I got coming out. Wonderful World, 6302. What else? I don't know. You know, like I said, I had a session with Pharrell the other day, and Pharrell had told me something very interesting.
Starting point is 01:52:44 He said he threw Happy out six months prior and the record didn't actually work till he actually put out the video. So. With the movie? No, he said the movie was out too. The movie was out. It was always a part of the movie. Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 01:53:03 Okay. And he said the people just called him one day and said, I wanted to do the video. And when he did the video, that visual was actually what made all this come to fruition. A success. Yeah. Do you think our era should be more, not our era, just period. Artists should be more visual driven nowadays? I think so. I think
Starting point is 01:53:27 our history can kind of show people how to adapt to what's going on today. I think our era is more important now than it was when we was living it. You know what I mean? Because we're seeing what everybody's doing today is what we did years ago. Flat tops and Adidas and rope chains.
Starting point is 01:53:43 Rope chains. This is something that lived between our era. I think we just starting to see how important our situation was now. Especially when you see a young cat that's coming up in the game embrace what we came through. Because we come from a different... I was dog. Our shit was real. Think about what we went through. You had to be real.
Starting point is 01:54:03 Come on, dog. It's real for y'all to last this long. Kiss and you. We got to learn how to recreate ourselves and to make ourselves better. And these young niggas could live off of just something that's just media. You know what I'm saying? We really had to hustle and strive and do shit for our shit. And go through real situations.
Starting point is 01:54:26 And I think the new generation, they get an easy pass. Right. Nigga, we still on the line. The new generation get to get their easy pass. Like, remember, you had to have a dope show and all that.
Starting point is 01:54:34 Everything matters. You had to have a dope record. You had to have a dope show. Like, right now, you could be SoundCloud. It's hard to maintain a leverage of being around that long. How many rappers you know today
Starting point is 01:54:44 is going to be around another 20 years? But I think the balance is recreating yourself and not losing yourself. That is the balance. Because a lot of motherfuckers lose themselves. Yeah. But we got to learn how to adapt to something that's totally different that we're not hip for. Right. I want to get up every day and post on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, this and that.
Starting point is 01:55:04 And I got to do too much shit. Like, I want to get up and just smoke, put the record out, send it out this way. I'm way too dumb for Tumblr. I don't know how to do that. I got to relax. He's just thinking of Tumblr. He wants to tumble. But all these shits that my nephews and my people is around,
Starting point is 01:55:21 you got to get on this. And when I post them on Instagram I gotta do I gotta do Twitter I gotta do Facebook I gotta do Snapchat Yeah I'm Twitter and Instagram That's it That's it I'm ADD
Starting point is 01:55:31 And I'm dyslexic That's all I can actually handle That's it But that's our work We gotta do You know what I'm saying Like that's the shit But we didn't have to do
Starting point is 01:55:39 With that type of shit Back then when we came up It was all about Just dope music As long as you was dope We searched for you. Well, actually, you did do it.
Starting point is 01:55:47 You just didn't know it. The label did it as a publicist. There was no social media, but that was the same difference. As a publicist, yeah. As a publicist. The difference now is that it's personalized.
Starting point is 01:55:57 You're doing it for yourself. We went to sound autograph at record stores. Nowadays, you do interviews online. Right, right. It's things that trade. Right. So did streaming hurt the game or help the game, Kiss?
Starting point is 01:56:10 It hurt it for artists, I think. It helped it for the... Is that because they don't got to spend money? For the consumer and all of them. Yeah. But they're saying it's changing now for the artists, that it's helping the artists now. That's what they're saying. Just let me tell you this.
Starting point is 01:56:27 1,500 streams is one record. How did it work? No, no, no. I'm just saying. That's what they're saying. I don't own Spotify. By the way, that's all I know. This nigga can't know what the fuck he talking about.
Starting point is 01:56:42 1,500 streams is one sale. That's garbage, dude. I don't have a check mark on one cell. They got to relax. They got to relax. But what I've heard is that, not heard, this is actually facts. And I never even bring down for that. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm the devil's advocate right now. I'm like the DA for the artist side.
Starting point is 01:57:12 I'm the devil's advocate. I'm on your side, but I have the devil's advocate. Let's go, man. They're saying that for the first time in years, the record industry has made profits. Now, obviously, that might not mean the artist. No, you just filmed me. Okay obviously, that might not mean the artist. No, you just filmed me. Okay. That definitely don't mean the artist.
Starting point is 01:57:29 That's the CEOs, the producers. And I'm going to tell you where I come from. Everybody, let me tell you where I come from. Good. As the artist, we on the bottom of the, we the bottom. Absolutely. We get the bottom of it. We get the last bit.
Starting point is 01:57:42 Yeah. We get, it's octopus hands in it. And then we get the, what all of that shit's been there. But I'm going to say something. You're also, both y'all, are on the, I'm a major label artist advocate. I want to be on a major. I just want the bag. No, no, listen, listen.
Starting point is 01:57:58 Like Kiss. The reason why I'm saying this is because I manage artists and I and there's some I have an artist signed to strange music tech nine Mm-hmm speak that up these guys in check big up made a fuck attack and they're they're always like Looking at the industry and trying to figure out how they can make money bless you, but they do Yeah, tech nine is an independent that's written is let's damn. They're better than a major. Well, that's Totally I'd rather be on a major absolutely if you don't want you boy, you can't there you go That's that's what he said but But it's fucked up now now I'm spoiled from when
Starting point is 01:58:45 they was giving they was fucking giving us everything but those days don't exist anymore but I still love those days yeah we still gotta
Starting point is 01:58:53 what you mean you can love them you can love them but no we gotta survive they created monsters out of us yeah
Starting point is 01:59:01 come on you should've never gave us the bag but you lose ownership cause at the end of the day given us the bag. But you lose ownership. Because at the end of the day, wealth is built on ownership. No, you lose ownership. You're right.
Starting point is 01:59:10 Wealth is built on ownership. You're right. You're right. But these kids wouldn't know what they... So you're giving up ownership to have those days. But sometimes you can own
Starting point is 01:59:18 something that's worth nothing. No, you're right. But that's the risk of owning. Yeah, that's the risk. That's the risk. And that's what we're saying. That's like real estate. We want to take the risk. Because that's the risk that's the way and that's what he's saying But the new generation don't gotta gamble they know what they gotta do the gavel they should is already The last few projects we dropped as the Lox, we owned it.
Starting point is 01:59:47 We made shit off of it. It's good that we owned it, but it's a flip side. They figured out how to fuck the game now that they let niggas get their masters. It's always a flip side to the whole shit. At one time, it was impossible. Only niggas like Mike Jackson was getting masked. You couldn't do that. Everybody would do that now.
Starting point is 02:00:12 So now that they letting regular black hood niggas get masked, they figured out it don't even mean nothing. It means something to you as the owner of War Report and the owner of We Are The Streets is special shit to us's special shit to us, but the shit is so digital now. Here, Black boy, you can have this. You can have that. We got it. That's why nobody want to sign nobody now.
Starting point is 02:00:35 These new cats chance to rap, but you don't want to sign nobody now. I think what changed that is the fact that anybody can make music right now. It's so flooded. That's true. Your uncle can't record right now. I hear fact that anybody can make music right now. Yeah, anybody can. That's true. Your uncle can make music. That's the problem now. I hear that. Anybody can make music.
Starting point is 02:00:49 So now your shit don't mean shit because there's a million other motherfuckers making shit too. Yeah, I agree with that. And we did our shit from the dirt, dog. We did our shit really from the ground. Music is disposable right now. It's disposable, yeah. See, back then when the album came out, you lived with the album for years.
Starting point is 02:01:01 Getting into a studio was hard back in the days. You got 48 hours listening to Spent. Now you got two days. How about the same shit? Yeah, you got two days. Nigga listen to your shit and they say your shit is a classic. You look at your shit and you got a new one. You're like, relax.
Starting point is 02:01:12 Then they want another one. You know, after two days. You spent nine years making this. Nigga coming three days. Yo, when the next one coming? That's why I'm coming up. I don't make albums like that. Niggas want work from you all day.
Starting point is 02:01:26 Niggas want work from you all day. You look under the comments and nigga want another one. Yo, I like that shit. We didn't know you was coming out. I ain't even, my nigga, I ain't even started working on that yet. Doesn't it have anything to do with the locks, Roger? They just want another one. Everything.
Starting point is 02:01:42 You put out something that look under your comments. Story, what's the next one? Fam, I just dropped this. I just dropped this. And they on you. You promote something. They on your shit every day. Yo, dope, what happened to that Lox and D-Block mafia and shit?
Starting point is 02:01:56 They on you. You can't sell nothing up there and not live up to the expectations of them. Oh, no, definitely. With this era, you can't say nothing's coming out until it's ready. Right. It got to's ready. Right. It's gotta be running. You gotta have your shit done. You're gonna have a whole bunch of comments of, where's that project?
Starting point is 02:02:09 I get that every fifth comment is Freddie and Jason. It's old before it came out. And Steve, you were smashing the shorty from a law, too, right? No, no, no. I don't remember that. No, I wasn't. No. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 02:02:21 Which one from the law? I don't know. Which one from the law? I heard. I heard. You was just going through. Why are you going through notes? Why are your phone is... Let me find these notes. I'm going to find these notes.
Starting point is 02:02:31 Don't find them notes either. I got them. Sure. I haven't done nothing. I was very cool. We'll get it out of you next episode. Next episode. Don't worry.
Starting point is 02:02:38 You're going to preach to me. I'm just kidding, dog. You're going to preach to me. You're going to be this ripple beat that Lil C's crippled. That's what I started the interview with. That's my favorite line. I started the interview with, am I lying to C's and I just say that?
Starting point is 02:02:49 You know what's crazy about that line? Not even that he crashed the car. Ripple with some strong shit. That was a hell of a good pair. That's the shit Fred said. Who was Biggie's favorite rapper in your opinion back then? He a lot. had a lot, right? He had a lot.
Starting point is 02:03:07 Who was he? Neff, Old Dirty. Ove. He fucked with Ove. Ove. Any West Coast artists that he liked? Stu. Stop that, see?

Starting point is 02:03:38 I can sit there and tell you about a bunch of... I'm a music head, my nigga. I used to come in the studio and Biggie be singing some of our shit that we just laid. He'd come before us. I told him, Big played me T.O. and Y before I even had a concert. You know what I'm saying? He'd own that. You got some new dope.
Starting point is 02:03:56 You hear that? I came in plenty of sessions and they knocking our shit like a raw version of Cann live. Oh, I just took a burp attack a bone It was Big knock Now supposed to be on ready to die. Is that true one more chance, right? What happened with Nas got too high that was One More Chance remix he was supposed to build. No. Yeah, you ever see a clip of Nas in the studio? I gotta relax.
Starting point is 02:04:29 I never heard his story. They was in there smoking and I think that's what... The One More Chance remix with everybody on there as far as you're concerned. If I'm not mistaken, you get into one of them
Starting point is 02:04:36 and Nas got too high. They said, where Nas was high. The problem is he B.I. smoked him out too much and he never laid it. He said that though. He smoked. Weet sucks, man. It's good. Busy be I smoked him out too much and he never laid Any question question house I was like drink champs
Starting point is 02:05:05 Once I got cool with Big enough to smoke and I asked him everything and once I knew he wasn't he wasn't gonna say get the fuck out of here
Starting point is 02:05:14 he asked him once I had the ability to ask him shit I asked him everything you could ask that nigga word to mother as I asked him all kinds of shit
Starting point is 02:05:22 so let's get this story straight one more chance remix session is happening Yeah cause the regular one Is already The regular one Was very tight Who produced that remix

Busta, I have, ever get to be here. Busta the award. Busta had for being in the game. I watched him. I went to see leaders of the new school with YL in about 11th, 10th grade or something.

I can't remember- Let's go. I understand. I woulda done the same thing. I woulda done a lot of shit of that time. There was a lot of shit going on there. I can't remember. I understand. I would have done the same thing.
Starting point is 02:07:08 But them remixes came. That was secondhand shit. Like the Ready to Die album was something totally different. Like Easy Mo B did a whole album. Yo, shout out to Easy Mo B, man. Easy Mo B. He was with Pac Heavy, too. That's how Big and Pac got cool. That's how they had relations.
Starting point is 02:07:21 That's what I heard. I just learned something new. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we got a big EZ-Mo B up. Think about it, EZ-Mo B did damn near 80% of Ready to Die. Warning, Machine Gun Funk. And we need EZ-Mo B on here.
Starting point is 02:07:34 What's the album that Pac had? It's the same thing. He did Temptations, he did Running from the Police. The only Big N' Pac record that was fun. EZ-Mo B was the one that glued that shit together with Big N' Pac. And Stretch, R.I. Easy. Moby was the one that glued that shit together with big and pop and stretch All right, P stressful.

Starting point is 02:08:11 Blackbird and Larry. I thought we took care of that first. My bad, Jerry. I'm sorry. But now, let me ask you. Rizzo produced on Life After Death, right? Yeah. And that was awkward because it seemed like Ray and-
Starting point is 02:08:23 Ray, I'm a nigga. Nas and Ghost. Yeah, on Ray's album. It was Ray and... Ray out of Niggaz. Nas and Ghost. Yeah, on Ray's album. It was Ray and Ghost. You said Nas and Ghost. No, they were talking about that whole... Yeah. That was on Ray's record.
Starting point is 02:08:36 That was on Ray's record. That was the only bill for Kimberly's shit. On that album. Nas is on that record. No, the record that Ray's after that. Verbal Intercourse. Verbal Intercourse. yeah, you're correct. But what I'm saying is, so how, was that awkward, getting RZA in the studio?
Starting point is 02:08:51 Because... Nah, B.I. ain't tripped off that shit. Right. B.I. knew just that, it was just a situation, man. He understood what it was. We was bumping that album, my nigga. B.I. knew about that shit and they knew about it. And after the Source Awards, we supposed to have met that day at the tunnel. Alright. And, you know, after the Sauce Awards, we was a met that day at the tunnel.
Starting point is 02:09:05 All right. Ray Kwan and them at the Sauce Awards. You know, that whole shit. Our beef, we didn't have nothing to do with the Death Row beef. Our situation that day was with Wu-Tang. Wu-Tang that day. Wow. No, Cease, you're giving us this.
Starting point is 02:09:19 No, no. What's going on, Cease? Give us this. I don't no beef shit but you know they had that they had that shit that skit
Starting point is 02:09:29 that was our first time with us seeing everybody together but it wasn't cause of that skit yeah oh right and that's the first time Big was not
Starting point is 02:09:37 kicking with Rick Warren that day Rick Warren was like yo we gonna meet at the tunnel we never wanted to go into the club that day but that's the first time Big
Starting point is 02:09:44 that's the first time we, that's the first time we had interactions with them. Besides, Mef was always our nigga. Mef was always cool with us. We always fucked with Mef.
Starting point is 02:09:52 But Big used to fuck with them. There's footage on YouTube with Big bumping that album. So, Big thing was never aggressive. It wasn't no aggressive shit. Big would just see a nigga and go,
Starting point is 02:10:00 yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
Starting point is 02:10:00 yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
Starting point is 02:10:00 yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
Starting point is 02:10:02 yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,

Starting point is 02:10:10 That whole Death Row shit was just something that just happened from that. You know what I mean? But that was other situations that was going on around that time or that source of all shit. That was the first hip hop awards show. There was a bunch of niggas running around, beefing and bugging about shit like that and we talking from a perspective like we just reminiscing it's not nothing to rehash you know what I'm saying like these are just real situations that's why I was really the dopest ever dog you had to be about that shit
Starting point is 02:10:38 and be real and authentic about that shit but then Big got RZA on the album come on it was all the love it was all respect it was just about sometimes about that shit. Rob Markman But then All right. Come on, dog. Big seemed like he was smarter than all of us. Like, meaning, like, he knew, like, you know what I mean by that? He seemed like he was hella mature for a minute. Like, he was way more mature than the whole culture. He just seemed that way. Yeah. Niggas said shit about V-I.
Starting point is 02:11:18 Like, he saw the big picture. He didn't trip off that. You know what I'm saying? He didn't trip off that. See, Jay seemed like he petty. Jay still go. Jay still be going at niggas. Niggas that spilled orange juice on his third grade sneakers.
Starting point is 02:11:31 He go at him sometimes. Jay, I respect your pettiness, Jay. But y'all niggas can laugh. Come on, nigga. You don't got to be scared of Jay. But Big C, man. It was real shit. They was both two different people.
Starting point is 02:11:45 Big didn't stress about dissing people. Even if you said something about Big, he wouldn't even stress it. But he'll light tap you without you even knowing. Right. It's Matt Rouse. He tackled niggas, isn't it? Nobody won't know. Right.
Starting point is 02:11:59 You got to figure out that shit. But that's how he figure out when niggas talking about him. Nobody never blatantly says something about Big, but Big read between the lines because he's an artist. He a nigga that tune and tune. He a artist. Yeah, he's a rapper. He listen to everything.
Starting point is 02:12:12 He study it. That's why you got greats like this. This is why you got niggas that live that long, because we study this game. You got to be a part of this shit. You got to be a student of the game. You got to be. You won't never know how to come about it if you ain't... You won't understand it, my nigga.
Starting point is 02:12:24 You got to be a student of the game. You got to be. You won't never know how to come about it if you ain't, you won't understand it, my nigga. You got to love this motherfucker. I ain't know why Big would say certain things, but he understood shit that I didn't catch. Dope niggas is dope. Like, you may not understand what y'all about. You made words up, right? I'll make it up today, nigga. No problem.

Starting point is 02:16:55 Yeah, honestly, I might be biased. Snoop is my man. I thought you were going to say Lil' Kim. No Lil' Kim in there? Kim is Junior Mafia. I can't count nothing I'm a part of. I'm you were going to say Lil' Kim. No Lil' Kim in there? Kim is Junior Mafia. I can't count nothing I'm a part of. I'm not counting nothing I'm a part of.
Starting point is 02:17:08 I respect that. I'm counting something that... See, outside this shit, it's like I can't put certain people I'm connected to. There's certain people I'm connected to that don't count. It's automatic. But when you ever see somebody say that, Big isn't number one, do you ever... Big is my favorite because Big covered all grounds of shit. I feel like as an artist,
Starting point is 02:17:29 B.I.C. covered every part of the rap component you want to put down. Storytelling, flows, melodies, cadence, metaphors. I think Big covered all parts of that. Yeah, I think he did too. Positive activity. It's so many. for us. I think Big covered all parts of that. Yeah, I think he did too. Positive, Timmy T, he had Skies. Yo, it's so many.
Starting point is 02:17:48 I don't like having them type of lists because I love... What you think about Ugadi? He just did... The 300. He did the revival.
Starting point is 02:17:54 No, I'm not talking about that. He got a show called Tales where he actually takes an artist's record and he makes a whole movie out of it.
Starting point is 02:18:04 He did... Oh, dope. I think the idea is dope. Yeah, it's dope. he makes a whole movie out of it. He did... How dope. I think the idea is dope. Yeah, it's dope. That's a dope idea. He did Story to Tell, B-I-G.
Starting point is 02:18:13 So, I followed him on Instagram so I've been checking it and it's a whole story, like a whole movie, basically, behind Story to Tell. But,
Starting point is 02:18:23 do you not feel like he should have, like, you know, I mean, all due respect to him, but do you not feel like he should have hollered at you and said, because you probably was in that second session. I don't even know about it. I ain't never hear about it until you just told me about it just now. I never even heard about that. Let's take another shot, see if we can get you off the date with the internet. Nah, I never even heard about it. You didn't hear about it?
Starting point is 02:18:42 I didn't hear about that. I know about the series he was doing. Follow up, got him. You ain't got to follow up, got him. I didn't know it was about I didn't hear about that. I know about the series he was doing. Follow up, got him. You ain't got to follow up, got him. I didn't know it was about that, though. He got to do Drink Champs, goddammit. Nah. I heard of my man, though.
Starting point is 02:18:51 That's my boy, though. Yeah, but that's what's happening right now. So what he's doing is his whole movie based upon the record. No, it's like a movie, yeah. It's like an actual movie based upon the record. So I think he did Story to Tell by Big. I think he got something from Jay. He did Trap Queen from...
Starting point is 02:19:10 He got Trap Queen from Freddie Rock. It's a whole production, like a movie from his interpretation, I'm guessing, of what he thought that they was trying to do. I think it's dope. I just want to know, did he actually reach out to the artist to say, do you have any input on this? Because I know as me, like
Starting point is 02:19:27 me, if you just do Super Thug, and you just, you got to relax. Like, come on. I wouldn't have input on my shit. And it's crazy because it's BET, so BET automatically has the rights because they gave you, whenever you signed off on your shit, you signed off for them to have the rights to your video. So they can do what they want, actually. But I would think, I don't know, am I bugging? But what do they get the rights to do when they can use a song from the label? Maybe.
Starting point is 02:19:54 But I would think, like, if the dude did a movie to knock yourself out, you would want to... I'll have you. Yeah. I mean, that's what I was asking. Because 100% they did B.I.G.'s. They probably did that through the state or- Okay, I'm going to pour Norby shots. They're going to be light. They're going to be different.
Starting point is 02:20:13 I don't know. Oh, it's the cup. It's the cup that's the setup. Yes. It's not niggas hands. No, it's that shit. It's the cup. Hold on, hold on.

Starting point is 02:26:56 I'm for the DJ. Because nobody gives a fuck about the DJ. No, we give a fuck about the DJ. I know, I know. It's very charming. I come from the era where. I didn't mean that. Because nobody gives a fuck about the DJs. No, we give a fuck about the DJs. I know, I know, I know. It's very childish. We do, man.

And they actually looked like they was on Purchase Day. You can't do that. You gotta sell.
Starting point is 02:28:31 The music is one thing, but you gotta sell yourself. That's why Angie Martinez was important to the culture back then. Back then, you do an interview with Angie Martinez, that shit was all over. And we didn't have the internet. But it was all over. It reached to certain people. Like, you do an interview with Flex. You do an interview with DJ Khaled. It was certain ones that went viral for that era.
Starting point is 02:28:52 But you actually had to have something to say. Like, these kids are so drunk and high now that I'm drunk and high, and I'm still talking to this motherfucker. Like, there's no artist development no more, right? Is that it? No, there isn't. We don't know how to be. You just got to just freestyle now

So you're leaving Def Jam? Is this an announcement? No, no, no, no. This is just management. Oh, management. I'm thinking we're talking about album. I'm not leaving major labels.
Starting point is 02:31:34 This guy's on your page, bro. You guys are good. They didn't let me in. It doesn't feel like that. But now with Pharrell, they let me in now. I think they're going to let me in right now. You're in? Fuck.

Starting point is 02:31:55 So you're going to sign your solo. I'm going to do a manager. Because Christy, y'all. Christy is Roc Nation. Is Roc Nation. That's y'all manager. She's the Locs manager. Because Roc Nation is that smart.
Starting point is 02:32:06 You're my manager too. They done took y'all manager and made them work for that. No, but that's what they do. That's what they do. When you, they take, they buy in the manager. When you, say if you go to Roc Nation and you, Ali and them will be over there too. Yeah, I'm scoping it out.
Starting point is 02:32:23 So they can run your higher shit run They just don't change what they should run No, I mean, so I told me the best shit about Ross nation I can't blow it up because I don't know if this is a private conversation But he told me some great shit about No, no, I'm not gonna blow it up. I can't blow it up, but it's beautiful. It was beautiful It was beautiful. It was beautiful Big up to OG1, big up to Shaka, big up to Tata. I seen Tata in the Soho Club and Malibu. Big up to Elmery.

Starting point is 02:33:09 Obviously. We'll take that out of context. No, not at all. I don't want to see this on the Enquirer. Right, right, right, right. So are we ending it on bigging up Roc Nation? Is that accurate? Roc Nation is doing big fucking things.
Starting point is 02:33:20 They got everybody. Dope shit. Yeah, I respect them. I respect them. I respect them. It's all about elevation. I'm a status selector who's recently. I respect them. Like I said, a good guy. It's all about elevating. You know how the status selector who's recently been on Rock Nation?
Starting point is 02:33:27 Big up status selector who's recently signed to Rock Nation. Yeah. It's all about progressing, man. Anything to make the game bigger and to feed the people that deserve to be fed. How can we hate that? Absolutely. How can you hate somebody? Build your brand.
Starting point is 02:33:41 Yeah, it's true. You can't hate that, man. Anybody that's progressing, man, that you respect that came from our era or beyond or after, can't shoot nothing down like that. Anything that costs the progress, why we got to shoot that down? Let's salute that and have fun with that and celebrate to that. That's a fact. I'm inspired by what everybody else do.
Starting point is 02:34:01 What was you about to say with I sparred with Jay-Z? No, I'm just saying. Oh, see. That's, hold on, see, what was your mother saying with, I sparred with Jay-Z, what? No, I'm just saying. Oh, see. That's right, man. Oh, see. I just want to hear it. He brought it back. I just want to hear this nigga, because he always got some crazy.
Starting point is 02:34:14 No, because that was real, like, at the end of the day. How did that even start? I don't even know, because I was outside looking in like, oh, man. Oh, man. That's all I'm saying. I'm about to learn some history. Yeah, how did that start? If you ask me, because this is like a story that.
Starting point is 02:34:31 I need to hear some shit now. Please, please, please. And I had it on my mind all day. If you ask me, well, I think Steve Stout was doing some. Oh. Like both sides of the fence shit. I think he was. Because he signed to Souljit.
Starting point is 02:34:42 I think he was doing that with Nas and Hov too. Oh. And they didn't think he was going to with Nas and Hov too. They didn't think it was gonna get that serious and they got I mean it wasn't it wasn't really serious but you know you know but yeah but you know at a time he was doing he was remixing everything I was doing you remember that like the Maya song I was on original one then he came with the other one. What Maya song? R. Kelly Fiesta. I was on the original Fiesta, he came with the remake Fiesta.
Starting point is 02:35:12 It was just like, it wasn't, he wasn't saying nothing about me. He was just. But just the fact that it was on those joints. Yeah, why was he doing everything I was doing? I mean, you know, and Stout was setting me up with the joints. With the joints. And then set him up with the, you know what I'm saying? With the ribbons.
Starting point is 02:35:31 I think that was the competitive nature of our era coming up. It wasn't so wishy-washy and watching, hugging and all that. Nobody took it personally. Yeah, it wasn't personal. It wasn't beef, it was bars. Yeah, it wasn't no beef. Right, it was it was bars. Yeah, it wasn't no beef. Right, it was bars. It was bars.
Starting point is 02:35:47 He was rapping. The big homie. Right. And you try to catch the wave to everything that's going on, so whoever jump on it. Because the Big and Jay start as like competitive rappers. Well, what I would say in that, he wasn't scared, though, anyway. Like, now it's more, I bow down to nobody nobody but I bow down to who I'm supposed to bow down to.
Starting point is 02:36:11 Now everybody bow down to anybody. Them niggas don't deserve a bow. But explain that. Too much bow. No J. Doe explain that. People don't understand what you mean by that. No it was more competitive EFN. It was more like...
Starting point is 02:36:25 Who would... But I'm saying... Even though Hov was Hov, we was the locks, he probably had a million dollars. So who would you bow down to? We probably had a hundred thousand. But who would you bow down to?
Starting point is 02:36:31 We still were trying to... We ain't looking at success. Right. We looking at... We trying to go through... Tear his head off. Yeah, now... Accolades and money and accomplishments
Starting point is 02:36:44 will get you a bow quicker than you've been seeing if you can knock this nigga out. Just because he got a rollie on and you got a G-Shock. You don't have to bow because you got a G-Shock and he got a rollie. That's just a comparison to use from our era to what's going on now. They just had to prove theyself in that time. You couldn't even get around a certain... You couldn't even get in a certain studio with them type of niggas if you wasn't one of them niggas. Come on, dog.
Starting point is 02:37:18 D&D studio was rare. D&D studio was rare. Come on, you couldn't... No phone shit, D-Bug. No, this is... D&D Studio was real. Come on, you couldn't. No phone shit, D. I went to do that. This is Beeper days. I had a 357 on me when I went to do Right Where You Stand for Primo and Guru. And D&D.
Starting point is 02:37:36 That's how. Yeah, because I didn't know who I was going to see. D&D had rats and roaches. It's a fact. Dog. It is a fact. And the studio. You could might not make it home. It's a fact. Dog, fuck. It is a fact. And the studio. You could not make it home.
Starting point is 02:37:47 You ought to make a song, but you might not make it home. Yeah. Shit is a hole in the wall, my man. The studio is ratcheted. You been to D&D, right? That's actually insane. But I feel like I have. No, you're lying.
Starting point is 02:37:59 That's. At 357, I went to D&D with all them years and did that song with Guru and them in the same 357. While Primo should sound like this. Rosewood got knocked with it. Let's make some noise. Let's make some noise.
Starting point is 02:38:11 Yo, but look. It took my fucking 357. It was graffiti everywhere. It was a machine. Two rooms. It was a machine that had Feli's, Old English. You could buy the shit out the machine. Bamboo.
Starting point is 02:38:19 It had Bamboo. A vending machine. That shit was heavy. And condom. D&D. that had Philly's, old English. You could buy the shit off the machine. Bamboo. They had Bamboo. A vending machine.

Starting point is 02:38:36 It's Manhattan. It's downtown. It was in the headquarter. It was in the headquarter. Remo bought it after that and turned it into headquarters. Rest in peace, KD headquarters.
Starting point is 02:38:44 His man, kiddie headquarters. And then it's no longer there no more. No, no. That shit was prime real estate. It wasn't in, like, a hood. It was downtown. Primo made it the hood. Primo, like.
Starting point is 02:39:01 I thought that shit was crazy. Hell no. That shit was all the way down. That shit was like a tunnel or something no. That shit was all the way down to Brown Zero. That shit was wild. Biggin' tunnel or something. Yeah. Damn, but it was hip hop. You going in that shit graffiti, everything you go in there.
Starting point is 02:39:12 We was actually making our demo in there when Hov was doing Reasonable Doubt. That's why we got history. We used to see him in there playing Poop. And we was making the demo, he was making Reasonable Doubt. Wow. And that's what make our era special. That's why that's my favorite ever. You know what else?
Starting point is 02:39:29 These new niggas don't know about what we went through, man. When I don't know what I don't know what. But it was it was like for like two months. Big used to rent Sound on Sound. You remember Sound on Sound? Yeah. On 45th Street. Around the corner from Daddy's house.
Starting point is 02:39:45 And Big would have upstairs, and me and Pharrell would have downstairs. But that was a quiet studio. There was a quiet spot right around the corner. Biggie was upstairs, and I was downstairs, my nigga. I kid you not.
Starting point is 02:39:57 With Pharrell. Pharrell put me onto the joint. That's why I was still... That studio was ill, yeah. I was still, like, bugging that. Pharrell never did a joint for Big, because I spent two months, at least, in the studio, sound on sound. Right around the corner from Bad Boy, we go.
Starting point is 02:40:10 Identical. And it was just quiet, though. It was only two labs. It was like a crib. You come in there, it's like a house. Two labs. And Big had upstairs. And I had downstairs.
Starting point is 02:40:19 I didn't have a mile in that shit, though. It was a dope-ass studio. Yeah, I spent a million in there. That's where Pup used to come through at when he couldn't have no rooms in his studio. It was that studio around the corner. And I think Big started liking it because he was like, he couldn't see nobody. It was the cut. You smoking it.
Starting point is 02:40:34 He saw it was me. Only other nigga that I had, it was me all around. And you had to park in that parking lot. And the parking lot right there. Right there. You in Nice Street, you had to go park in that shit. Nobody would never know you in there. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 02:41:12 because you know why? I used to get drunk like, I ain't get drunk like this in a long time. You know why these fans love it? Because the thing about it is we be sitting around thinking that they don't care about the era before us.
Starting point is 02:41:22 And we're living proof. We hit 25 million. And that was four months ago. That's big shit. So that lets you know that they actually do care. They just want to learn. They need a platform to learn from. You got to school them.
