Because, first of all, when it comes to the West Coast, Oakland is my number one market. For sure. Right? So, for some reason, I feel like Left Rack is in Oakland. Right? Queens is like Oakland. I swear to God, I feel like Queens is like Oakland. So, mind you, now L.A. So mind you now, LA is our

fucking number two market with drink champs. But back then, so I wanted to extend that love so I told him, because he came on, like he said, he came on and he just was thrashing people.

If you don't call me, I'm going to call you.

We'd go back to the room, like, yo, man. Norrie was my favorite rapper, one of my favorite rappers growing up. The reason why, because the nigga did a song, the LA LA song, I was like, oh, this nigga's the hardest nigga ever. He was the only nigga that responded. Right? He was the hardest shit ever. I felt like he was the hardest nigga ever, right? So,

my phone rings at 4 o'clock. I'm at the room. It's 4 in the morning. Yo, what up? Sounds like me. Yo, Snorri. What's good, my nigga? Hey, yo, I'm at the Yankee Stadium right now.

He's like, there's still East Coast, what's going on? I'm thinking, I don't know. I'm calling alliances back home, calling niggas like, hey, my niggas, we still tripping with the East Coast? So, so the nigga called me, right?

Kim, I don't understand this shit, right? I look at my cousin. I'm like, cousin, this nigga Norrie talking about coming to Yankee Stadium. And then it's weird because I'm from Queens. So it's different. He like, let's go. I say, my nigga, wait. Because I'm a nigga.

I grew up off New York shit, right? So I knew all of this. I was like, my nigga, this nigga's from Queens, my nigga. Yankee Stadium's in the Bronx, my nigga. This shit don't sound this way. I was like, my nigga, this nigga's from Queens, my nigga. Yankee Stadium's in the Bronx, my nigga. This shit don't sound this sound right to you, bro. My nigga was broke by this time. It was on 420 because we were debating 20 minutes and we getting up.

He said, I said, but we going to be suckers if we don't go. Because he personally called us, bro. That's Melvin Flint, son. That's what you called me, too. Nigga came and said, Melvin Flint. I'm like, come on, my nigga. We got to go. He said, fuck it.

Make a short story shorter. We hop on in a cab. We get there. I see there's 50 Puerto Rican niggas standing outside of us. Literally, it's probably like 14, but that looked like 50 to a nigga from Oakland that's by himself. Right, right, right, right.

I look across the, I'm like, my nigga, that's 50 niggas, my nigga. He like, yo! Were you good? I'm good. I hit the fence. I jumped the fence. Ripped a hole in my pants and everything, right? Before Rip Jesus popped in.

Two fences. They in the park bench in the bleachers. This nigga give me a spin off. He said, yo, my nigga. Now listen, I felt like this, I swear to God, I felt like I was talking to Frank White at this time. This is like New York story. This is King of New York story.

Hella niggas standing right behind him. It's him, M. Dot, there's all kind of other niggas. There's crazy niggas, right? He say, either you a stupid motherfucker or you a real nigga. He personally, I wouldn't have came. I wouldn't have came. I swear to God.

He personally, he personally, I wouldn't have came. I win the game You have such a long career Yes I want to take it from the beginning Like what inspired you to get Just to start spitting period You know honestly It was something that I got into at a young age because of an older cousin I looked up to.

You know? I mean, it was that type of thing. Now, I got me. You got an opener? Yeah, yeah. Oh. It was something, you know, that my older cousin was doing. Right.

So, you know, I just did it really just to be like him. And he told me, like, you know, yo, you too young. Was he making, you know, I just did it really just to be like him. And he told me like, you know, yo, you too young. Was he making records? Nah, nah. It was just, you know, just him and two of his boys

around the way, you know, in bed style. You know, they was like a little rap group, a three man rap group. And he told me I was too young. Like, nah, you know,

you know, when you get older. So then from that point, my mission became to be better than the other two dudes down with him. So I started off writing battle rhymes, you feel me? And that's what I was doing.

Then when I felt I had it right, I went and battled the two dudes down with him, beat them. Who are much older than you as well, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were much older than me. At the time. I battled them and beat them, and then asked them, can I beat down now, you know? I don't know, I got notes and shit, nigga.

Okay, so you battle them. Now you're just doing it on the block. You're just spitting as a hobby, I'm assuming. Yeah, pretty much, yeah. So how is it that you get to where you become Big Daddy Kane? Is there a persona before Big Daddy Kane? Did you have another name? Where you were, did you...

That's a hard name, though, Big Daddy Kane. But I'm certain that you went through a couple names, maybe. Well, before Big Daddy Kane, it was just MC Kane. It was just MC Kane. MC Kane. All right, so now look. I was speaking to my good brother, Fat Joe, today. So Fat Joe calls me, and I'm mad hyped.

He's like, yo, I said, yo, I got Kane on today. So he said, Budweiser Superfest. Budweiser, he demanded I ask you this question. Budweiser Superfest, Biggie and Tupac actually came out. The only time that people, the footage of Biggie and Tupac. This is that famous record? Yeah, actually performing. Where Brooklyn at?

Where that one at? You know what Fat Joe told me? That they were, that wasn't even a set. They were coming out with Kane. No, yeah, that was Kane. That was my set and Joe was next up to rhyme when they gave me to wrap it up. Like, you got five minutes. So I wasn't able to even bring Joe on. But Joe was standing with the mic ready. You know, and they gave me to rap it up. Joe still was like, man, if I would have got him, say he's dead, Dave, you know what I mean? Like, he's still upset. Nah, if I would have had five more minutes, he would have been on there. Real talk, you know?

That's the William Wood thing, man. Let us know the first time you met Jay-Z. The first time I met Jay-Z, it was back in, I want to say, 88, maybe. There was, you know, like. In the early 80s, or mid-80s, my name was popping in Brooklyn for battling people. Of course. But there was one dude whose name was bigger than mine. This guy named Jazz.

Jazz Up? Yeah. Okay, cool. He was more popping. And then to top it off, to make matters worse, dude around the corner from me, Fresh Gordon, that had a Gordie Groove record,

Fresh Gordon did a mixtape with jazz, and I'm livin' around the corner from him, so I'm like, you know, you gon' get a Marcy cat when I'm right here? Now, you from Fort Greene or no? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm from off of Louis Avenue,

two blocks from Roosevelt Project. Okay, cool, cool. And that side. So I'm like, you know, you gon' get the Marcy cat instead of dude right around the corner? So now I'm really pissed. I'm like, me and this jazz dude going to have to battle. We're going to have to battle. And you don't have a Y and Sophia, none of that out at this time.

No, no, no, no, no. This is like neither one of us had deals. Okay. Neither one of us had deals. Okay. And it just never happened. I tried to find a jazz, it never happened. Then here I am, I do have records out,

and I get a call from the Shirt Kings. Oh, the Queens. Yeah. And they say, yo, we want you to do a mixtape at Gordie Crib with jazz. And I'm like, well if it's a battle, yeah. I mean, I'm making records now, but that shit still was eating me up.

So you saying back then, battling was more important than even getting on a record with a person? Like actually battling the MC? Well I mean, you know, getting on a record with a person was great too, but like I said, this was something personal. Oh, okay.

I mean, I love jazz now, and I have a lot of respect for him, you know, but I mean, yeah, this was something personal then. You know, so it was like, yeah, we can do it if we battle. Okay. And then when I get there to Gordy Cribb, you know, he's like, nah, nah, nah, listen,

you know, jazz ain't with EMI no more, so we just wanted to, you know, like do something, maybe y'all do something together, you know what I'm saying, where he can really shine and whatnot, you know, get the brother a new deal. So I was like, all right, cool. And then Jazz asked me, yo, can my man rhyme on it? And I'm like, you know, I don't care. This is really fast, Jay.

So we did the joint, me, Jazz, and Jay-Z. And then afterwards, the dude from the did the joint, me, Jazz, and Jay-Z. Uh-huh. And then afterwards, the dude from the Shirt King, he was like, yo, you think maybe you can take Jazz up to Coachella

and maybe try to get him a deal, you know, something? Coachella's the record label for your young boys. Can't continue. So I told him, yo, I mean, to be honest with you,

I kind of like the Skinny Light Skin nigga better. You know? Talking about Jay-Z. Talking about Jay-Z. Right. And, you know, from that honest with you, I kind of like the Skinny Light Skin nigga better. You know? Talking about Jay-Z. Talking about Jay-Z. And, you know, from that point, you know, me and Jay got hooked up. And, like, I was trying, you know, I tried my hardest, you know, to get him, you know,

to deal with several different labels. You know, just things just didn't work out. But Lucky was smart enough to, you know, figure out a way to do it on his own, you know? Yeah. But let me just interject for one second. Big Daddy Kane is the first guest that came with their own corkscrew. Goddamn.

I think when I went to the Clippers, that was probably the worst kind of system that I went to.

And you was under Sterling? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me just tell you something. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I was trying to get an apartment in L.A. My credit is horrible. Nobody approved me. The only building that approved me was the Sterling building.

Because you pay cash. Because you pay cash. Because you pay cash. I hit my manager, Ali, and I'm like, yo, I'm going to sit here. He's like, you can't move to Donald Sterling's building. And I'm like, what? He's like, that's like moving into Trump. And I'm like, oh,

I did everything but sign my fucking name to this fucking check. And he's like, you cannot move there. And he's like, you cannot move there. And he called Magic Johnson a nigga. Like, how do you call? Like, out of everybody you could call a nigga, I just feel like Magic get the pass.

Yeah. Like, you ain't supposed to call. He's not supposed to be a nigga. Like, I went too far? I went too far? He's not a nigga. How you call magic a nigga? When did you...

As a person who played for an NBA team, as a person who played and know the politics, when you heard that, were you shocked? Or were you like, this is normal? No, I wasn't shocked at all. What? When I got there, what shocked me is when I got there and when I did my press conference, it was almost like the movie The Devil's Advocate.

As soon as I come off the press conference, the head of the chief dude of communication said, Hey, man, he may say something to you. You know what I mean? I know you from here. He may say something to you that may be out of pocket or something. I'm like, man, what you talking about? I'm like, no. Oh, you talking about when you was playing for the Clippers? That'm like, man, what you talking about? I'm like, no.

Oh, you talking about when you was playing for the Clippers? That's crazy, though. No, I'm talking about after I announced, after I gave the speech and whatnot. Why? Because I didn't know, you know what I mean? I'm like, yo, I'm coming back to LA. I'm about to get it rocking.

I'm going to turn it around. You feel what I'm saying? Like, no matter what, like, I'm not thinking about who the owner is. I don't give a fuck about who the owner is. You feel what I'm saying? So they're warning you about the owner. Man, he said, yo, he about to, he gonna

say some crazy shit. I said, man, he ain't gonna say no crazy shit to me. He ain't about to say shit to me. But then, like, every day you live in it, dog, you realize, like, oh, shit. This is, like, a dictatorship. You know what I mean? And people say, like, the man's racist. It's like, that man

hate everybody. You feel what I'm saying? He don't have no respect for nobody. So it's not, it's like, man hate everybody you feel them saying he don't have no respect for nobody so it's not it's it's like racism is just like racism is a short word to describe him you feel what I'm saying that's like that's like a cop-out word to to describe him and like the way that the whole system was being ran so for me it was just like no bullshit after my first year I went to Africa I was like you know what like I'm going to do something crazy or I need to go somewhere where I feel like I need to appreciate everything that I have as a black man in America. And so I went to Africa and I went to Africa like three or four weeks and just was like, I needed to see something else. You know what I mean? I went to Tanzania, Rwanda.

Man, and it just kind of like low-key changed my life. Rwanda, that's where the guerrillas. Yeah, where they had the genocide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, where they had the genocide. And then like you see. Right now, you see what's going on in Liberia? Libya. Libya.

Libya, Libya with the slave trade. Yeah, with the slave trade. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. I mean, look, man, it's like, when you look at the world, you know what I mean? And we look at ourselves here in the United States,

and we all privileged, you feel what I'm saying? Like, and we don't know shit, you know what I'm saying? And we don't know shit until we go outside the country and really see how people really live.

And, like, the shit that they got and the resources they use and, like, how appreciative they are for life, you feel what I'm saying? And so that's what taught me about, like, dude, this ain't no they are for life. You feel what I'm saying? And so that's what taught me about like dude this ain't no dude no racist.

You feel what I'm saying? Like I'm big like Donald Sterling. It was like he ain't no racist. I'm bigger than him. You know what I mean? And so one, I'm letting everybody know this man racist dog and you homeboy you better not say shit to me. You better not say shit to me.

You better not say this shit to me. I'ma sit here. I'ma hoop as much as I can, but I can't come to this arena knowing that I'm trying to win games, knowing that he gonna win. So I'm fucked. So I can't play.

You feel what I'm saying? This is motherfucking Dreamcat Park at Make Some Noise! So what happened was when I believed in J. Doe was when he battled DMX. So that's the time. You got to sit down. This is so big for the drink chat. That's what I'm telling you.

Listen, listen, listen. That's what happened. Listen, listen, listen. It's a debate. This is so big on the drink chat. We got to actually focus. Everybody, I don't know. I don't know. My man, Red Hat, everybody, come on.

Let's everybody focus in on this energy. It's big time. Unlock your energy. Unlock your energy. Unlock your energy, goddammit. Beyond. Okay. Beyond.

So right now, we're in Rough Rider neighborhood right now, right? This is a whole bunch of Rough Riders, right? Well, no, we in the Bronx. We not in their neighborhood. No, I'm talking about right now, where we at right now, right? Well, no, we in the Bronx. We not in their neighborhood. No, I'm talking about right now, where we at right now, right? So now, the battle. Yeah. I want to, because we had Dane describe this battle.

We had Irv. No, Irv said he wasn't there. We had DMX actually. Yeah, DMX definitely described this battle. Now, DMX says he didn't lose this battle. We had Irv recently who said, what do you think an ex lost battle? But I want you to describe this scene here.

So what happens? Cause D, is you and Dame cool with D and why? What happened was we was in Gaucho's gym, and my man Steve Mack and Dame. Gaucho's gym, they cut me. I was on their team. They cut me early. I'm so sorry.

Still got personal with the coach. All of us, you know. We used to always argue about whatever, anything, all the time. So he had the Harlem Knights. Who had the Harlem Knights? Steve Mack. Steve Mack, okay. So Steve Mack knew D and Y.

So he was like, yo, let's have a battle. Him and Dame got into it about music. He like, yo, you dudes is wack, this and that, you know, going back and forth. So they set up the battle and then we went right after to the Bronx to a pool room on, it's like on 100 and something street. Man, Calhoun?

No, close to Webster. Okay. It's like 174th or something like that. Okay. So it was the Harlem Knights against Original Flavor, but then they had Roughness, and then they had another, God of Rich was another dude from Harlem, and then he called D and Y,

and then they brought DMX, and then Dane brought J. So that's how that got set up. Okay, describe what happened. They walked in. I heard it's 5,000 guns there. It's 5,000 guns. It's only 20 people with 5,000 guns.

But you don't notice it, right? I'm just saying, when you're living that life every day, it's just like, it's all normal, right? Okay, okay. So, you know, they're going back and forth and everybody else, and the Harlem Knights is definitely, they're going back and forth and everybody else. And the Harlem Nights is definitely probably. That's pre-Rough Riders.

Harlem Nights. So Harlem Nights had nothing to do with Rough Riders. If you know about Harlem Nights, Harlem Nights transformed into Rough Riders. But continue. Yeah, they say like a lot of like the LOX style came from the Harlem Nights. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Right.

And that was a club, Harlem Nights? No, no. That was a gang. That was a group. That was a gang. So it's in a pool hall, you said. Yeah, it's in a pool hall. So I remember what happened, led up to it,

how they arranged who was going against who. But Damon, I mean, Jay went against DMX. They was going back and forth. And then the funny thing, Big L was the only one recording everything. You said that? So that recording that y'all see like here and there

all came from Big L. But Y was like, yo, our shit ain't incorporated or nothing like that. Yo, don't tape us. So that's why the only footage is on J.

So the thing about it is we had Irv here. And Irv said, no, first off, forget us having Irv. We had DMX here. Andv here, and Irv said, no, first off, forget us having Irv, we had DMX here, and we asked DMX, we said, yo, who won that battle? DMX said he never lost a battle.

Then I seen an interview with Jay, and Jay said he never lost a battle. But the thing about it was, we had just had Irv here, and we asked Irv, and then Irv said, that's the only time I ever heard DMX say, I think the people thought I lost. He never admitted that he lost. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So how did you feel, in your opinion? So that's when I became a believer, with Jay. Oh, with Jay. Yeah, so I was neutral. Is there a lot of people in the pool? Because Steve Mack is my man, and Dame is my man. So I wasn't there favoring nobody. It was at that battle

when I was like, yo, this dude, Jay is nice. And he started talking about the streets, right? My money machine go tat, tat, tat, tat, tat. And he wasn't speed rapping?

A little bit, but not like, you know what I'm saying? But are people reacting? Are people going crazy? There's a lot of people in the spot. X was going hard.

X was going crazy. I mean, both of them. It was like 1A and 1B. But I gave, you know what I mean, me. I gave Jay the nod. But I'm just saying, if somebody said X, you wouldn't be mad. I'm just saying it was that close. Yeah.

Give D a chair. Ali, where you at? Ali, a pool table. Yeah, yeah. You got a problem? D from motherfucking Rough Riders is table. Yeah, yeah. Get your chair. D from motherfucking Rough Riders is here. We got to see.

I already know. So, D, who won that battle in your opinion? That battle, you really can't say nobody won because they both was good.

So, I gave it like... Everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On both, like, when you hear it on both sides, people like, it was a tough battle

I mean You know what I mean Everybody kind of Giving it up Ain't nobody like Yo this was the clear This and that But if

If anybody on that side Say DMX1 You ain't mad If anybody on this side Saying J1 You ain't mad It was that close Like it's like

Yeah It was It was tight Like it was a A battle where you had to Give it up for both sides And plus It was an experience For X As well as Ho Cause they both had it was tight like it was a a battle where you had to give it up for both sides and plus it was an experience

for X as well as Hov cause they both had different styles and energy so they learned off each other so that's what made it the whole world in this way

and X found that way it was like oh shit he learned something from X Hov probably learned something from him and they both had two unique styles and nobody really wanted

it was just it was like a draw how come there's so much talent that comes from QB like and they both had two unique styles, and nobody really wanted it. It was like a draw. How come there's so much talent that comes from QB? I think it got a lot to do with the Juice Crew. You know what I mean? And the inspiration. Well, Juice Crew was Marley and Shan, really. Right.

And Roxanne. You're right. It's one and three. Once it's one and three, you're right. Yeah, so, I mean, the inspiration that, you know, that came from that probably, it just, you know, the legacy just continued. You know, Craig G, you know what I'm saying, Traj, you know what I'm saying.

Big up Traj. Big up Traj. People always call Traj when we make jokes about him. Call him and let him know we're making him up. Tell him you're good enough. Tell him you're good enough. We love you Traj. We gotta speak them up. Intelligent hoodlums. Intelligent hoodlums. We love you, Trash. For sure.

We got to speak on it. Recently, you know, our brother, Prodigy, we want to say rest in peace. In fact, let's give him a moment of silence. Everybody just be quiet for a second. Rest in peace, Prodigy. For sure. Recently, he passed. We understand that.

And did you see the overwhelming amount of love that he received on Instagram? And yeah, I wish he would have got to see that when he was here That was the only like negative part. I had to say I was like I love that People show the love but then again as a person who knows him I wish he could have been here to see that was was that something like how you felt too annoyed? For sure, but Pete really always got love because we used to call him science and now We all the same age coming up man young and everybody knew he always had that another level of mentality His mind was always on another level, you know, and he got that one

We need to go do shows and stuff. We go into into the guards they'll pull me to the side drop a knowledge You know, I'm not you know too much into the guard body and stuff like that But he would take some information from that and move on and then pick up books and move on from knowledge and share it So I always seen like the real recognized real when it came to prodigy Maybe shows a lot of stuff we was wow So we should bump, a lot of stuff. We was wild. So we used to bump into a lot of drama. But we used to have a lot of dudes coming to show P-Love,

like, yo, son, we could dad this. I want to strut for you. So he always had that respect. But of course, definitely wish he would have seen the love that he got. Because it was from people that don't even rap. It was from just, you know,

I remember just watching the news. There was a random guy on the news. Oh, he made a little, he made a little, little, little, little, beat up, yeah, yeah. Wow. Yo, Tony Touch is down. You see that, man?

Tony Touch is downstairs. See somebody see that? Oh, yeah, yeah, I looked into Tony Touch on the phone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um. Yeah, he made a whole little news. Yeah, that was dope. He made a whole albums there. Oh, he was, that was, they ran the whole albums down.

Oh, he was giving a report. No, he gave that report. But he was using the lyrics. They used the albums as the titles and what he was talking about. Yeah, that was great. And it matched up like a scene. So is there a Mobb Deep album in the stash?

Or there's something you gotta chill out with? Um, there's definitely a Mobb Deep album in the stash, you know what I mean? But I just wanna give it a little bit of time, you know what I mean? So, uh. Her respect. little bit of time you know what I mean so is it fully recorded or is it something you got to piece together half and half you know I got to piece it together stuff that's already recorded stuff like that because you know I think that's what people want you know just one last hurrah

you know him out stuff like that so that's definitely in the mix right that's what in the mix. Right, right. That's what's up, man. You know, again, my condolences to everybody, because we all took it hard. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. Recipients have done the improbable,

going above and beyond the call of duty. You'll hear about what they did, what it meant, and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice.

Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always

be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that taser told them.

This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.

So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive

world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Why you ain't never, um, make the Cocoa Loso official drink? We still negotiating. Oh, my bad. I went somewhere awkward? My bad. No, no, no. Nothing awkward. It's like the time gotta be right, you know? Okay, okay.

But I gave him my word, like, if I ever did something with that, we came up with it together. Man, that was organic. That's what I'm talking about. Okay, go ahead. Take it from there. How did that come up? It was, I think, the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

Puerto Rican Day Parade. And, I mean, I guess what a lot of people don't know and what doesn't really get, you know, publicized is how close New York rap artists are. Like, we don't really, like, have beef. Like, 50 has beef with some cats. LL has some beef. publicizes how close New York rap artists are. Like we don't really like have beef, like 50 has beef with some cats, LL has some beef, but the rest of us, we don't really have beef with each other,

like from New York, you know what I'm saying? So we all grew up together, you know what I'm saying? And so us hanging out is nothing but us just like hanging out like regular people. And we was at the Puerto Rican Day Parade and we was sitting in the crib chilling, doing what we do. You know, he has a lot of incredible ideas and it just started off from there.

He helped to kick off Ciroc and you know, he's truly a blessing, my brother Fab. And I look forward to getting money with him in the future. That's what I'm talking about, man. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Make some noise for that. Who's your top three MCs?

That's a tough one off the top. My top three? Yeah. Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z. Boom. I gotta say the same thing. Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas. In no particular order.

How are y'all, as New York artists, how are y'all adapting to the situation of trap music and being on the kick versus the snare? I just want to have another shot to that before y'all drink, because I want to just make sure that everybody got their shit together. The guest host can make this internet sufficiently. With a shot. With a shot. With a shot.

Yeah, let's do it. But I just want to let y'all know, y'all, drink champs, where everything goes, you know, We're doing that sufficiently. Yeah. What a shot. What a shot. What a shot. Yeah, let's do it. But I just want to let y'all know, y'all, drink champs, where everything goes, you know, when we slur our words and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have fun.

Because I came from here to, um, it was my man, it's my man, Ruby Lou. Ruby Lou, man. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He's on his way. Ruby Lou, happy birthday. You already know. You got, hold on.

I'm missing a shot. I'm not going to skip it. Yeah, that's not what I do over here. God damn it. That's what I'm talking about. Listen, man, once got, hold on, I'm missing a shot. I'm not gonna skip it. Yeah, that's not what I do over here. God damn it. That's what I'm talking about. Listen man, once again, what's up, us being, you know, our black excellence, having fun,

great champs, we're both TV, let's motherfucking have some fun. And ain't nobody ashy in the crew. No, yeah, you know, no, no, we got St. Regis soap. I know you needed that one, huh? So what's up? I know you needed that one, huh? I say the kick versus the snare. We come from the snare. That's embedded.

That's something we can do effortlessly. But since they doing the other thing, I say instead of negating it, you embrace it, and you get on that joint and kill it. You know what I mean? Instead of hating it, yeah, you adapt to your situation, and you maximize your opportunity, even though it might not be your cup of tea.

Mm. You know what I mean? I don't mean you gotta adapt and just, you know, switch your style to whatever. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. If you can. If you that guy, you can switch your style to whatever you know me if you can if you that right you that guy you can switch up your style you can go south so you feel like you you um would dumb your down nah not dumb it down you still gotta be you never you do you on on that trap beat and obliviate that world. Do you, that's a very important word.

I wanna talk about New York rap. Take it there. New York rap. We have to do us. Do y'all feel like we as a community are doing us? Are we trying to survive and catch on to a wave? Or do you feel like new york is new york man i can't even water it down it's new york new york

a percentage is trying to catch the wave and then there's still a percentage that's doing authentic waves change new york no and so does the wave. And so does the wave feel like New York? I feel like it's getting back. Because New York has even changed. Yes. You know what I mean? So you can't go with the flow. You got to be the flow.

You got to be with the flow. You know what I mean? I love that. I think it's important for people to hear that because a lot of times, to be honest, y'all don't get played in the southern cities. Right. Because they feel like there's some tension that's really not there. They feel there's some lack of respect that's not really there. You know what I'm saying?

And it's just like, you know, I want to just know y'all opinion on it and I would have to agree with you totally. What we looking good is we got Cardi B out there. Cardi B is out there kicking pure ass. When you speak to Cardi B, her slang is so New York, she don't even have to say where she's from. She be like, bitch, I know where you from. Excuse me, I didn't mean to call her.

But you know what I'm saying. Like, you already know. And she's from uptown, too. She reek New York. Yeah, she reek New York. And she's out there kicking ass. Like, so, did you guys, you know, to reiterate his question, but in a different way, like way A lot of people always keep saying

It's New York back I never like saying I never like trying to bring New York And I always felt like Even when people was trying to do those records New York back You don't gotta say New York back You gotta make a hit record

And that's what puts New York back With dudes like Diddy Still breathing In yourself,dy still breathing in yourself and myself and yourself, that question's already answered. It didn't go nowhere. You don't got to, you know what I mean? You start putting yourself, you start slighting from what you bring to the culture when you add to that.

No is not back because it didn't go nowhere because you looking at the culture. You know what I mean? That's how you got to carry it. Everybody feel like that. I know I want to be in a success circle. Whatever is successful, there's different levels of success, but whatever is

successful, I want to be in that. They always try to divide and conquer us. Do you feel like New York supports New York enough? Like most- Rob Markman Support it on the low. Rob Markman Okay. Meaning?

Rob Markman We don't do it on the broad. We don't- dudes, I'm sure a lot of people that portray like they have a problem with each other or they're in their cribs and in their own personal zones playing the shit out of the other person's catalog or music or you know what i mean they enjoy the other person's success they don't they don't do it as much as the south that's how the south slid in you took it somewhere else are you saying that you were still playing 50 while y'all was going at it? I'm a fan of 50. So while y'all was going at it, you were still playing his music? Yeah. Get Rich or Die Trying is a classic.

Anybody with ears that weren't. No, but was it a classic while y'all was battling? It's always a classic. And you still listen to it? I'm not like a. I'm asking. I'm a realist, and I deal with the situation on the table. That's hard.

You know what I mean? Just because something was, you know, I'm a realist and I deal with the situation on tape. That's all. You know what I mean? Just because something was a discrepancy, that don't take away from that body of work. You know what I mean? That's still a classic, no matter what's going on. So now when you hear these stories of these super producers and their crazy ideas and how they put it together, you guys both work with Puff. He's standing right here.

Describe what it's like being in the studio with him. He's been on before, all of us. We all look up to him. We all show him love. Damn, Boo Lake Cab. I just seen you. My nigga, Boo Lake Cab, my nigga. So listen, my bad.

So listen. How was it? That question for me is everything. Like, he's the first person that gave us an opportunity. Should we make some noise for that? I feel like we should make some noise. God damn it. Opportunity is one of the most goldenest things in the world.

You know what I mean? That people don't even recognize. It's like giving you an opportunity to do something. It's like coming out of the draft and going. Priceless. We was able to get drafted to the Chicago Bulls when Jordan was the hottest. You know what I mean?

So that's a blessing from the Lord himself. And then him just showing us. Let me backtrack a little bit. Not only him, we was able to be in the presence of Notorious B.I.G., you know what I mean? So that...

He definitely make a name for that. He made us stars. He changed our lives. He was able to, you know, put my son through college, buy my mom's a house, learn how to perform, do things of that nature. This is motherfucking Dreamcast Podcast.

Make some noise! Do you ever think that, like, you know, how your guys had the game, right? Like, I remember it was, like, Woo, then it was Meth, then I believe it was Ray and Ghost. Yeah. And then y'all just was dropping albums. Like, do you think the game could ever go back to that with Mad Affiliates? I love that you brought that up because the fact that... Because y'all have been to that.

Yeah, because brothers, you know, you hear it. It's so cliche. They always give it to Master P and they always give it to Baby. No, I get that part. But it's funny how people say, you know, they come in and it's cliche to say, we changed the game. We changed the game. And then if you ask them how, it's funny how people say, you know, they come in and it's cliche to say, we changed the game. We changed the game. And if you ask them how, it's like a superficial shit,

like, well, we did this, we did... We actually did change the game because we came in as a group with options to sign a solo artist. That was never heard of. And when you talk about shit like that, you can't take that for granted because you have albums, I mean, labels,

working with each other that would otherwise be trying to cut each other's throats. That never worked. That's very I mean labels, working with each other that would otherwise be trying to cut each other's throats. That's very interesting. They never worked with each other. All artists are anchored to one entity and can't do nothing but that. Let me ask you something.

Is that what y'all came in with the game at first? Y'all came in and said, yo look, we selling Wu-Tang Clan. But we also- It was just super talent. Actually, I can tell you exactly how it happened. RZA knew it was too much. It was a lot of talent to be holding in one spot like that. He knew.

He said, you got meth, you got dirty. It was too much. It was kind of like accidental genius shit because it was more or less like it wasn't going to be enough money for the whole group. It's like, we're not going to let you sign the whole group for that amount. But we'll let you have maybe one or two makers

or one maker or this, that, and the third. So then it became a picture of, well, who are we going to pick? And who we gonna do this? I wasn't picked by Def Jam. Def Jam wanted old Dirty, but Dirty was already signed with Elektra. Elektra already? With Elektra on her own.

And he had fucked his money up already too. Remember that car? Remember that fucking car? Where you going, man? He bought a black ass Lexus. It wasn't no Lexus, that shit was like a Lexus. It was a burgundy car, nigga, and I remember because he bought a system,

system costs more than a fucking car. That type shit. Remember he battled Nick D'Exotic one night outside the club, Nick D'Exotic and shit, and niggas, no, it was just a battle. And Nick clearly lost, and niggas bust his windows out his car. By the time we got back to his car,

his windows, any fucking way. Nigga, it came to a point where, all right, well who can I have? Russell, who can I have at Def Jam and shit? And they kind of threw me at him. Okay, I kind of did it. And Tracy Weypals. It was really Tracy Weypals who said,

well if we get anybody with Russell, if we get anybody, I want this nigga. Yeah. And that's how I got in the building. It wasn't a, we want Matt for a top type thing. No, they would have took anybody at that point in time. So the man wasn't out yet? Oh, wow.

Yeah, it was. No, it was on the B side of him? Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. But Lyle didn't pick y'all individually from the get? No. That's what I'm saying.

They signed us as a group. So they didn't say, we want to take an option on one pick y'all individually from the get? No, they signed us as a group. So they didn't say, we want to take an option on one of y'all. Gave us the option to sign a solo artist. And they didn't take an option and say, we want such and such artist from the group. I'm not sure about that. You have to speak to Rob about that part. But the way the whole shit worked out, it was weird because my album actually got finished before 30s and because the simple fact that I had a lot of shit in my way because there was a

flood most of the music got lost so I had to re-record a lot of shit he had to redo a lot of beats and when we were on the road we would wake up that morning you know he was on the west coast we would get up that morning go do radio you know the grind you go radio, you go do some type of record in store type shit. Where you go to distributors and shit like that. It's an all day fucking process. Then you go do the show that night.

After the show, y'all dudes was going back to y'all rooms. I was in the fucking studio. Recording in some nasty shit. I'm talking about stocking on top of a hanger, popper stopper, stocking on top of a hanger, popper stopper, stocking on top of a hanger, popper stopper shit, ratchet shit, yeah, real shit. What's your favorite Wu-Tang album you ever worked on? The favorite?

I had cuts. I don't know what happened. Certain cuts was like, you know, bring you right there, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's yours. It's yours? Yeah, certain songs, like, like the other album you did. Yeah, because I remember Dirty,

and he was in Hawaii, and he was singing Love Boat. Yeah. Love Boat. The beat song. Promises something that everyone needs. He was just singing that flop shit, and you know, he was all Hawaii and Irish shit.

Oh, we all down in Hawaii. We all had scooters and shit. Okay, what happened in out in Hawaii. We don't have scooters and shit. Okay, what happened in Hawaii? Let's go to Hawaii. We all had scooters.
