That should give them free liquor forever.
Yes, yes.
And you don't smoke.
We know that.
You don't smoke either.
Damn, I'm around two people who don't smoke.
So 50, right?
One of my favorite albums of all times
is Get Rich and Die Trying.
I'm joining.
You know what?
I always get this because I watch the kids argue
over what album's a better record,
and shit like that.
And for me,
the Illmatic album was so stupid to me.
You know what I'm saying?
Because that time period,
we was still just fans of the music at the same time.
They don't realize at different points,
different artists are more impressionable
on the artist community at that point.
And it was groundbreaking at that point.
The shit that Nas was saying was like,
it's the lingo and the language that you would hear
in Queensbridge.
At the time.
Yeah, and that was like going across all Queens.
So it was like, it all struck a chord in everybody.
It was there.
Like Wangsta.
Like the first time I ever heard of Wangsta,
that was a Queensbridge song.
Totally a Queens record, yeah.
It's a Queensbridge?
Yeah, that was...
Let's make some noise for Queensbridge.
I ain't gonna lie.
The first time I heard Wangsta,
the word Wangsta was a crackhead from Queensbridge.
Yeah, it was a crackhead from Queensbridge.
That slang was from out there.
Yeah, that's from Queensbridge. I ain't gonna lie.
That crackhead came up to me one time, I was like,
you out here selling drugs 24 hours, you a Wangsta.
I was like, oh shit! You drugs 24 hours. You a wankster. I was like, oh shit.
I was like,
I didn't even take offense to it.
I didn't take offense.
I didn't know.
Then, you know,
they started using that
and that you made that.
But Get Rich and Die Trying,
is that not your favorite album?
It is.
It is because it was like,
when it happened,
I knew that the record was like,
it was literally that.
That's why it worked so much because it was literally that that's why I worked
so much
because it was
up against
so much is stacked up
against
the actual project
that I said
it's going to go either way
either it's just going to work
and everything's going to go right
or it's
all or nothing
oh yeah
and it's just
because everybody
was still out
that's why it impacted
I think
what it is
is I think
the general public
loves
they love to see people that are damaged.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, they love to see you.
Yeah, but if they see you damaged to the point that you may not, you may be the reason why you can't win even though you're special.
Right.
Because, you know, just the way you were brought up, you're not going to be able to make the adjustments.
Right.
So if you don't take on a new information fast enough, you're just going to fuck off the whole situation.
And they look and go, I love this,
because it looks like it's almost impossible
for them to make it.
Mmm.
You know what I mean?
And then it's boom.
Because it took off so fast,
how could you be prepared for that?
And what did that album sell, 10 million?
13.
Excuse me, excuse me? 13 million?
Let's make some noise!
Who you wanna take a shot?
Who you wanna take a shot?
We made noise.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
We had an argument yesterday, so abuse him.
Abuse him, please.
The first one did 13, the second one did 10.
God damn it.
The massacre.
God damn it.
Make some noise for, what's that, 23 million.
God damn it.
God damn it.
God damn it.
God damn it.
God damn it. God damn it. God damn The second one did 10. The Massacre.
God damn.
Make some noise for, what's that, 23 million.
God damn.
God damn.
I thought it was 1 million.
I thought I was out.
That was it.
He was super hot.
You had a lot of momentum, though, going into it with the mixtapes before.
The Lansby shit.
Did you make money off the Lansby stuff?
Yeah, I did.
I made like a million.
I had stuff going through Lansby.
I had to go to Boston.
Oh, Lansby.
This was before the record store. That's, um. With Bob Perry. Yeah, I did. I made like a main... I had stuff going through Lansby. I had to go to Bob's. Oh, Lansby. This was before the record store.
That's...
With Bob Perry.
Yeah.
Bob Perry paid you?
He fucked up.
Let me tell you what he did.
Okay.
Because Bob,
like what Bob did,
like I got all,
like I got my money out of that.
But Bob,
what he was doing is,
I was like,
yo, listen,
certain shit I was like,
look, you can't do this, right?
Like he was doing
a Rewind DVD, right?
Right.
Okay.
And I said, look, I said, listen. Where that blunt go? God damn it. Who kid was... Who kid was a bootleg this, right? Like, he was doing a Rewind DVD, right? Right. Okay. And I said, look,
I said, listen.
Where'd that blind go?
God damn it.
Who kid was,
who kid was a bootlegger, right?
He don't give a fuck.
He's like,
just give me 5,000 copies.
Yeah, we mix tape DJs.
He just want 5,000 copies
of the tape
so he can sell it
to his vendors
and get it off like that.
And he took, like,
short paper.
I came to him,
I said, yo, how you going?
That's my shit.
Right.
So I put a pressure
on Bob, right?
I said, that's mine. Was Alan B's my shit. Right. So I put a person on bar, right?
I said, that's mine.
Was Alan Gormlock involved too? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
So they gave me $80,000, right?
Because they was going to put that DVD out.
But then I said, don't put me on the commercial.
Do not put me on the cover.
Right?
I said, if you do, I don't know you when they come.
Right?
Because I'm telling them.
He don't know.
I just took the check.
From Dre and them. Yeah, from Dre and them. So when that them, he don't know I just took the check from Dray and them.
Yeah, from Dray and them.
So when that happens,
he just didn't hear
what I said.
You know what I'm saying?
He just didn't hear it.
Put me on the cover,
the DVD.
We come out,
it's me,
Jadicus,
and Snoop
on the cover.
Wow.
Jimmy is like,
this is all my shit.
Who's stealing all of my shit?
Wow.
You know what I'm saying?
The footage is from who kept taping the shows and shit like that.
So he gave it to Bob, man.
When Bob was done, he had his house, man.
They sued Bob.
They fucked him all the way over.
In a skull?
Yeah.
He out of business now.
He didn't even sit the monitor.
God damn it.
Got to make some noise for 50 cent niggas out of business.
God damn it.
But I warned him.
I warned him ahead I warned him.
I had to try.
I said, listen,
don't do that.
They're going to come for you
because they just gave me.
And he was like,
and still did it.
Right.
It couldn't help it.
But they were fucking with you
before the DVD
with the mixtapes.
Yeah, no, I did.
Because they were
distributing them.
I made a lot of money for them.
Before that,
we were selling
too many copies of it.
I'm like, look,
don't not
Put enough CDs out for it
To reach the top
The hot 100
Right
That's one of the problems
We would still be selling
This shit right now
If you would have listened
You know what I'm saying
Keep it under the radar
He gonna keep
He won't put
So now you sold
100,000 copies last week
You stupid motherfucker
You think everybody
Didn't see those
100,000 pieces move
Next thing you know
The people come.
I'm like, man, I don't fucking know you, man.
That's where that shit went.
You got to make noise for that.
You got to make a noise for that.
Yo, I ain't going to lie.
I'm mad excited.
I can't believe you came.
Because you know what?
I know you from back in the days.
And for you to still be the same nigga,
like, you could have easily fronted on me last night.
Nah, that was different. But when I'm face to face with him, I'm going to go, nah, I got you.
I'll do it tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow. He just had to get in my face.
Yeah, that's right. That's right.
You know what I'm saying? I put in front of that, it's like,
all the other shit, he's like, yo, send a message. He's like, yo.
Right.
Yeah.
He is the first person to feature with me. There was no look he didn't have to.
That's right. That's right. There was no look He didn't have to That's right
There's no reason
By the way
I need you on a record
I'm just
I'm saying
He didn't even move
Face to face
I did a joint
It's called Petty
Right
And listen
I want you

There's a story
On this Drink Chat podcast
It's been going around
Way too long
We need you
To give the final answer
Okay
First of all
The record is called Petty.
It's produced by SBK, Militain is its own.
Let's big that up.
And I'm going to play it for you before you're going to love it, right?
Listen, this is my man, right?
My right-hand man, DJ EFN, right?
Okay.
He doesn't think he's petty.
I'm petty.

Ex-girl
Mad long ago
You tell me
If he's petty or not
Okay
Alright his girl
He just found out
That his girl was doing
Cisco's video
He's embellishing the story
I told him
I'm playing with the facts
Right
So he found out
His girl was doing Cisco's video.
By the way, do we tell him
what song? I mean, that's what makes
all the difference in songs.
No, the thong song remix.
It doesn't matter. It's still a thong song.
So he found out his girl
was going to Cisco's video, and he
cut off immediately. It's over.
That's it? It's over.
And I'm going to tell you the other video she did.
I'm going to tell you the other...
You want to know that now before you answer?

He was worried about that.
He had a thong on.
There was other shit going on. There was other shit going on.
There was other shit going on.
It was too early.
But by then, it regressed.
Yeah.
But he was right later.

It took time.
Initially, you didn't even see the video, E.
And you cut her off.
That's petty.
That is the definition of petty.

I was the rep for Def Jam all the time.
So I'm dealing with the video shoot because Red and Meth were in the remix, if I'm not
wrong, or they made an appearance.
You will remember.
And she told me.
She was an aspiring model.
Right.
Once she told me she was doing that video, I said, I already know where this is going.
Why? Because you heard stories?
I like these questions. Go ahead, baby.
Because you heard stories about
artists. Heard stories? I mean, I had been
rolling with CNN already on tour.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams,
and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity
for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West and
come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Now, you was the first
nigga that I seen that had a successful sneaker and your shit wasn't ugly.
Rapper.
Rapper.
Like your shit was fly.
Was you involved in every process of the sneaker making?
I did.
Because I was doing the Stan Smith.
I was doing my version of the Stan Smith Adidas with the tri-color flag on the side of it. So, you know, when I knew that the hip-hop community in general
and consumers that were conscious of it
were comfortable with spending $80
on Air Force Ones.
Because everybody would do it.
So I kept it at that price point.
And Jay made his joints a buck 25.
I thought that was a little crazy at the time
because I was like,
Jordan is the only one
to sell shoes that expensive.
You know what I'm saying?
It was like,
I didn't compare myself to that.
I kept it down at the $80 price point.
The deal structure was completely different, too.
Like, Jay, they made their deal like a joint venture.
So they were completely equal with RBK.
Okay.
Where they had a 50% profit split, like the labels.
Right.
After they recouped the cost of the shoes, they split the money.
You know what I'm saying?
Now me, I'm like,
fuck that,
I'm a high-risk investment,
just give me money.
Because they was doing
the deal with us
because they lost
the opportunity
to sign LeBron at the point.
They was in the bidding war
for LeBron,
so when they didn't get,
when Nike got him,
we got the money
from RBK.
So it was an advance,
mainly.
No, they kept paying.
Paul Finley kept giving us money, man. It was like we did, mainly. No, they kept paying. Paul Finley kept
giving us money, man.
It was like we did,
I sold over 7 million
pairs of those shoes.
Can you bring back
G-Unit clothing?
I can.
I'll do something different.
Yeah, you got to.
Y'all took care of me.
Y'all sent me like
two years worth of clothes.
Let's make some noise
for that and give
somebody a shot.
All right.
I ain't going far.
Bye, Laila.
Bye, Laila.
Yeah, we should make sure
that's a good moment.
Yeah, you made sure all the artists was great, man. Who you want to take a shot we just made noise um He did it! Oh! He's taking the drink! He got 50 in the drink! I'm taking one now.
I'm taking one now.
I'm taking one now.
You ain't drinking, so.
Yeah, that's right.
I'd a high.
You know my style.
I'd a high.
Hey, you're not taking another one,
but I'd a high for the one you took.
I'd a high.
I gotta be right for the Mayday show.
Hold on.
I'm done.
Woo!
Haz, you might as well while you're at it.
Yeah, that's right.
I already got one.
Oh my God.
You can literally put that on ice.
Woo!
Get some ice in them shots.
That shot is disgustingly good.
Yes.
That's right.
But it needs ice.
I'm an ice drinker.
So, you had the sneaker thing.
Yeah.
You had run-ins.
The sneaker thing has something to do with Steve Stout, right?
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
When Steve Stout said, look, that's when we had a little issue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what he did?
I got a story behind that, so go ahead.
Oh, we ready?
Stout was actually doing what Chris was doing for me with Jay.
Okay, yeah, right now.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's what his brand guy, and he was doing that.
And when he left the president of Interscope to go build his brand company,
he started doing that.
Now, Jay's deal is Jay's deal,
but he didn't make the 50 cent deal.
Fuck out of here.
It's like I'm selling 13 million records.
At the time, I don't need nobody to make no deal for me.
You know what I'm saying?
I'd be the logical guy to go to following,
you know, you fucking with Jay at that point.
Then we made the actual deal on different points
and shit like that.
Like Jay's commercial, if you remember, the first commercial was me and him in the commercial.
Oh, yeah.
So we rapped together and it was for the Sean Carter coming out.
And that's because he's a smart businessman.
He knows what type of reach I had at that point.
That it was better for him to do it with me than to do it by himself.
Right.
And then we come back around after that and I did everything
for Chewing It by myself.
Matter of fact,
that nigga Jay
still owe me a favor for that.
Let's get to Jay-Z
owing you a favor
right now.
Let's go.
He owe me a favor
for that commercial.
The next thing
that we did was
Because you held him down.
Yup.
The next thing we did
was
the Forbes remix.
I'm watching you.
You drinking Aguayante over there?
Yes.
Our audio is about to be off.
This is our engineer.
You see that?
Did you see the drink he just bought?
He's Colombian.
Yeah.
He's Colombian.
I'm looking at this nigga like, yo, are you okay?
That's Aguayante.
You know where Aguayante is?
50 know where Aguayante is?
That's that Colombian shit. That's realuayante. You know what Aguayante is? 50 know what Aguayante is?
That's that Colombian shit.
Yeah, I know.
That's real drunk.
Real drunk.
So how many of my favorites does Jay-Z owe you,
Akanele?
Oh, man.
I don't know.
I'm just listening to y'all.
You just owe me a favor.
I just remember
that he never did nothing
in return for that shit
that we did.
So let's break it down again.
So you held him down
in the commercial.
Yeah, you owe me a favor
for doing that commercial.
Okay, I got Jay-Z phone number.
Should I hit him about the favor?
Why don't we just combine the favors and he comes on Drink Champs?
We can do that.
We can do that.
They're going to start laughing when you say it.
Tell the nigga you owe me a favor.
Yeah, listen.
I'm telling, listen, Jay, where the camera at?
Tune in.
Listen, Jay, you owe my nigga 50 a favor, and we're going to do it.
If you owe him a favor, you owe us a favor.
Now you owe me a favor
It's crazy
People think I'm the plug
You know I put
Jay
And Fat Joe on the phone
On that one
I did that
That was good
Let me tell you why it was good
Was you proud of me?
Yeah that was a good one
Come on make some noise for me
God damn it
Make some noise for me
I had to step it up
Yeah like cause
Like with Joe
A lot of niggas looked at him
Like he was like Right Like a badiggas looked at him like he was like a bad vibe.
He was like, the perception of Joe was he was 50 Cent prior to me being here.
You see what I'm saying?
So you're saying bully.
That was deep.
A bully.
But when you're saying that, look what it's saying.
Look, I didn't start any of these altercations.
If you think about it, it's the momentum.
It's the same shit.
But the perception is a bully, though uh they're looking for revenge they're picking
the reason to go at the kid because you keep winning right there's nobody that's gonna sit
in that seat and not have conflict not have artists uncomfortable with you being in that seat
because it is what it is just so it just, when that was happening with me,
they wouldn't see the slap.
They'd just hear the shot.
They'd see the person poking at me.
They'd just see my stars.
But 50, I'm going to keep it 100 with you.
Any nigga that says anything about 50 Cent,
you respond to him, though.
I'm trying to let you get away with it.
I'm going to keep it 100. I'm going to keep it 100. I'll be watching you. Listen, listen, I'm going to him though. I'm trying to let you get away with it. I'm going to keep it 100.
I'll be watching you. Listen, listen.
I'm going to be real. Like, the prodigy came home.
He wrote this book, right?
He wrote this book. I ain't like, he told my, you know,
my niggas that I shot.
I shot niggas and all that.
You know what I'm saying? So I didn't like it, right?
Nobody got shot by the way. But what, who?
No, no. I shot niggas.
He's going there.
It's a fact.
It's way over seven years.
I shot a lot of niggas.
I shot a lot of niggas.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The limitations is over.
So he came out with this book, right?
But my beef with him was I did everything that I thought you would do.
Right.
Because you know why?
You single-handedly laid out the platform of how to kill an MC.
And I just thought how you would think.
I was like, think how 50 think.
Like, I did Nori shot somebody the same day.
Like, he did an interview on Power 105.
He was like, yo, Nori shot somebody.
I was like, Senator Scram Jones, Scram Jones.
Boom, right away, boom.
Had to be the video and everything The same night
And I said
This is what 50 would do
Yeah
You know what's ill
Is Pete
When you sitting in the joint
The difference is
Like when he write a book
He actually writes the book
Right
Like himself
Like you can sit there
And write page by page
Each one in the joint
And I was like
A lot of times
When I wrote the book
I would bring a writer
Yeah you're too rich for that shit
Tell him
Tell him 50
Tell him this is to be clear You're too rich for that shit. Tell him. Tell him to be clear.
You're too rich to be doing that.
And I have proof for you.
Right.
What I just told him to write.
He said, no, you got to change this.
This is wrong.
It's out of context.
Different points.
But when he sat down, he wrote that book, and he wrote a few screenplays and stuff like that while he was in jail.
As soon as he get out.
He thought he was going to die in jail.
He did what he did.
There was a lot going on
because, you know,
P got a different
type of thing.
Like, creatively,
the only time I was
conflicted with
the idea that the artist had
or what they was writing
was one time
we did a song
that was called
it was called
Pearly Gates.
Okay.
That came out?
Yeah.
And P said some shit
on the record and I was like... Yeah, I heard about this. Okay. What did he say some shit on the record and i was like yeah i heard
about this guy what did he say like he was like it was almost like some like like he was anti
you know what i'm saying it was like it was like anti-jesus on the joint like i mean we writing it
mike usually every time don't get mike my weed we don't have to be together
i'm sorry that you know like we write a record We don't have to be together. I'm sorry.
You know how we write a record.
We don't have to be in the same room.
If you got the hook.
Right.
Everybody know how to.
The concept is there.
Get on the record.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So when he did that shit and it came back, I was like, whoa.
But you know, I thought.
What did he say though?
It was some anti-Christ shit almost.
Oh.
It was like real.
And I was like, whoa.
Like Mace was around at the time,
because I had Mase on the road.
This is where me and Puffy shit stem from, too.
I need to get to it, we need to get to it.
We got no Ciroc hair.
We got no Ciroc hair.
But we usually go from.
We not go from.
We usually have Ciroc hair.
Not today, not today, EFL.
I'm Puffy.
I'm just talking in front.
No, no, no, no. See, what we did was Maze come and Maze was like, maybe he feel like that about God from him
not curing him.
Because he got this sickle cell anemia.
Right.
Like a piece of this is so extreme that one day he'll be with us regular.
He'll be drinking everything, doing smoking, doing everything.
And then he would be in the hospital yeah he felt
he fell out of my studio it's like blind in one eye his blood is in his yeah that's right
eye socket like that so he got a different type of and that process is a painful process
and it's been repeated it's been something that's all going for him so his his is just different
you know what i'm saying and it was like like, why are you saying that? I was like,
I still was uncomfortable.
I wasn't sure I would put the Pearly Gates
record.
Originally,
it was for
the soundtrack.
What soundtrack?
While we was doing
the Get Rich or Die Trying soundtrack.
You know what I'm saying?
And I was like,
wait,
so I might not use this for this.
Right.
If y'all want this,
y'all can put this on your record.
Right.
Because I didn't want to put it on
on the
on the Now, i heard i heard like
mop say you um you was the only ceo that would call them like four o'clock in the morning and
sit them down and talk like that was so dope to me like you know like again let me just just the
fact that he signed those guys no no but for the listeners to know like you know i'm saying
50 is a gutter nigga i know him from the beginning you know what I'm saying? 50's a gutter nigga.
I know him
from the beginning.
You know what's good?
And let me,
because I want to
big you up so crazy.
Like,
from the beginning,
like,
you was a gutter nigga.
You made all this money.
Then you went inside MOP
and then I heard them say
one of the dopest stories.
There's like,
50 just called them
at four o'clock
in the morning
and told them
to come to your room.
You sat down,
you asked them
What they want to do
Like CEOs don't do that
Like you know what I'm saying
What you'll get from artists
Is I overpaid them
I ain't gonna lie
I was hating you
When you signed Marv Deak
I was like
Yo you should've signed CNN
We were the shot niggas for you
Like come on
Make some noise
Make some noise
We were the shot niggas
We were the shot niggas you wanna give the shot to?
You wanna give it to him again?
Nah, I ain't fucking joking.
Did you overpay him on purpose? Like you knew that the situation might not evolve how you wanted it to?
I ain't gonna lie, niggas is not Ciroc boys no more.
They effin'.
I wanna make the switch that I've never even committed to, bro.
Listen, listen, listen.
I might change my name to DJ Effin'.

He just had the wrong vision.
Come on.
Come on, Mr. Lee.
Pour another shot.
It's my initials, by the way.
But, yo, throw some ice cubes in that shot, though.
What we said, like, what was happening at that time is with M.O.P. and them, it's like,
that was me still being a fan.
You know, like, M.O.P.
But that's what's dope about it. M.O.P. M.O.P. I'm M.O.P. But that's what's dope about it.

M.O.P.
M.O.P.
M.O.P. would go, how you going to sign 50? You've been in longer than him. In the game longer than him. So I made it clear.
I made it clear.
Because I know what he was going to do right away.
As soon as you get to New York.
And they was going through turmoil at that time.
Because Jay just put him on the stomach.
You're answering.
It's true.
And it was like, because there was, look.
There was damage by that one play.
That one insult.
That one thing that he did in the summer jam.
And I'm like.
And you still signed.
Still, because I was, look. there was a point where P was the best
artist the best rapper let's make some noise for PB and the best artist
I told you you got number love up here come up here and bug out with me now
look for real there was a point when he was doing that H and I, the first couple of joints. You're not going to take a hit of that. Those records are crazy.
You already give me high.
Yo, hold on, Finny.
That's not how we take shots.
Hold on.
Let me show you how we take shots, Finny.
Hold on.
Ah to ah.
Like the mafia.
I got to grow up.
Wait till I grow up.
You ready?
Yeah, like the mafia.
All right.
All right.
Yo, you're not taking another shot?
You're a foul nigga.
I'm working after this, too.
So, look.
Now I'm going to tell the truth.
Please. Please. Oh, wait. The beginning was a lie? Nah now I'm gonna tell the truth. Please, please.
Oh wait, the beginning was a lie?
Nah, I'm not gonna lie.
50 took two shots, 50 took two shots
in the drink chat.
This is why this drink chat.
This is a fact.
We're trying to bring the truth out.
Bring the truth out.
Drunk facts is what we call it.
Yeah.
Drunk facts.
Let's make some noise for him taking two shots.
God damn it.
Anyway, listen.
Listen 50, I'm going to keep it honest.
This is what we do on the drink champs.
We drink, and effing vodka's good.
It is.
It's going to smooth down.
I forget what story we was talking about, but I'm going to switch it to effing vodka.
No, no, we got to go back to that story.
What story?
The family told me I got to cut you off.
Yeah, cut me off, EFN.
No problem.
Go ahead.
You got to tell them.
What's the story?
What was he talking about?
You don't have a prodigy. No, I don't have a fucking prodigy. Oh, cut me off, EFN. No problem. Go ahead. What's the story? What was he talking about? You don't have a prodigy.
No, I don't have a fucking prodigy.
Oh, okay.
My bad.
My bad.
He put that H&IC shit out.
It was like, he was dead.
I was on that album.
I was on that album.
There's a point, look.
There's a point creatively where an artist is just in his own.
Like, they can't nobody touch what he's doing creatively at that point.
Right.
He's just there.
In their pocket.
Right.
This nigga's mad smart
Go ahead
He was like
That was where he was like
At his peak point
Like he was there
And it was like
And I get a chance
To watch that
From a fan's perspective
So it was always
Still up to me
It didn't matter that
So you mean
I didn't make it
To that summer jam
So that
Like I didn't
See that
The tutu
The beef
Okay
I don't care That he went to school.
His mother had a dance school when he was younger.
You know what I'm saying?
If that's the case, we got to discredit everything that we say is cool about Tupac.
Right.
Right.
Because he went to an acting school.
Because, yeah, it's our art student.
He was doing Shakespeare.
What I'm telling you, when he's actually writing a book and he's actually writing a screenplay,
it's because he actually has been groomed as an art student.
Right.
You see what I'm saying?
So you can read that in the book.
Do you realize how smart 50 is?
This nigga's mad smart.
That's what it is.
So it's like it's a different level of talent there
because of what he's conditioned for.
Right.
And then you look at it and you go,
you wouldn't even believe that, like,
P.A. ain't really from Queensbridge
like that
nah he's not
he's from
Lefrak in Long Island
yeah Havoc
Havoc said that
on here
where's D from
he's from
he's from
Lefrak in Long Island
right
it's like
Queensbridge
on the south side
is closer to where
I'm from
but that still
I looked at it
and was like
nah he say some shit
it's like
he got a slow draw
his style was all his it wasn't like, nah, he say some shit. It's like, he got a slow draw.
His style was all his.
It wasn't like, like now.
Right.
You can hear a record and say.
Yeah, you heard that train?
This is going to go.
Because it sounded like the last four records that worked.
50, did you hear that train that just went through?
Yeah, it was that Elliot Wilson train.
He comes in and tries to sabotage our podcast.
I don't fuck with that guy.
Why don't you fuck with Elliot Wilson? I know.
I don't like that.
Let's get to it, 50.
What happened with Elliott Wilson?
Listen, let's just be clear.
We got the craziest segues.
Listen, listen. Nah, I was ready.
I was ready as soon as the train, because that's the myth we said.
That wasn't even a train. It was a horn.
In my mind, it was a train. It was a fucking train, all right?
It was a train.
So I hit B-Dot,
and I hit Elliott Wilson on the double text.
Like and I sent them the picture of your Instagram.
And then I said, y'all should have came.
And then they said, B.
Said 50 hates Elliot.
Y'all don't fuck with him.
Why?
You know why?
Because we didn't set this up like that.
That's Twitter God this is reality
I really sent it
And what
And they said
50 hates Elliot
That's
Nah I'll tell you why
Cause look
There was a situation
One time right
Where
Let's get to it
He had a
Somebody
Chaz
Slimming him
Oh okay okay
They wanted to do
An interview with him
Right?
Uh huh
And I made it clear to him

Yo, I ain't going for it.
I love 50.
Yo, he's going in.
Keep going.
Nah, this is the way it is.

Petty.

Take a shot.
I just address it. Because if you look, you know what's a? Nah, this one ain't on his side. I said, wait, wait, wait. When he said, like... Take a shot, take a shot.
I just address it.
Because if you look, you know what's a sucker to me?
A sucker is a nigga who pick who he fight with.
Right, right, right.
Like, if you see a nigga and you go, oh, I'm not going because this nigga... I won't fuck with him, but I'll fuck with this motherfucker.

All right, no problem. No you go. I don't know where around I'm saying look after
You have a problem in the neighborhood if I'm just where I grew up if you never need a step to you and you think
You fool. It's rap. That's what you are forever forever that like they don't look at you like
Right, I remember when this shit was like... You know what I'm saying?
And then it changes who you are to everybody around you.
So I'm like, nah, I'm the same way every time.
Okay, but 50, this is the lifelong question that we ask.
I'm petty.
I didn't stop, though.
Are you petty, 50?
I've been...
Look, you see the big mils here, I didn't say nothing.
Nah, I'm not trying to disagree with you. I didn't say nothing. Nah, I'm going to have to disagree with you.
You didn't make a record, but you made memes.
Let's make some noise for your memes.
I'm dyslexic.
It don't matter, it don't matter.
I didn't make one record, not one punchline.
Because you didn't deserve the punchline.
Because you're getting bodied by R&B scene.
The boys said the line already.
You got to live with that.
I just want to know.
You got to come back
from that, right?
This is the question.
50, this is the question
because you know why?
I've identified
with my pettiness, right?
Me, personally.
I don't deny my shit.
Yeah, I know.
But I feel like
you're not identifying
with your pettiness.
Yeah, a little bit.
I'm not denying it. You don't know there's an intervention. Yeah, a little bit. I'm not in the know.
You don't know.
It's an intervention.
But you know, listen.
The richest niggas is petty.
I'm just telling you.
Jay-Z called me about a podcast.

That's what it was about, man.
But, but.
Trust me, I know what it was about.
Wait, why do you think 50's here?

No, no, no.
Listen, I'm keeping it 100 with you. Now you know you're through getting a groove

Okay, I got it.
Send my verse, boom, move to the next one.
I'll come back to this shit and fix it.
And re-approach it or rewrite the verse or fix it.
What I felt like wasn't too cool enough to keep it,
but it's there.
That's how you got to Beardsville?
Yeah, and when I was working,
Nori was on fucking fire at the time.
Yeah, this is true.
Let's make some noise from now they don't lie

coming yeah go back to baseball the shit he was doing was like it was it was ill
like a lot of niggas was there and we was watching it from different perspectives.
Everything was funny
until the numbers came back.
Like,
everybody's style
or doing it different
and he was like,
wait,
like,
even,
I brought up Juvenile earlier
because I was on
the Cash Money Tour.
I was coming out
before the curtains opened.
That's a fact.
DMX Rough Rider Tour
and I was like,
the opening before
niggas could sit down.
Right.
I was doing,
me and Tony Ayo was performing a record that nobody remembers.
You know we had Tony Ayo on it.
You were on Columbia though, right?
Oh, you did Ayo on it?
We had Ayo on it here and it was an awkward situation where Corrupt, right?
What did Corrupt say?
I don't think it was that awkward.
No, it was awkward.
It was an awkward situation where Corrupt said, um, He did say some shit. He said that, um, you had this Corrupt on, um, How to Rob.
Did he?
Is that what happened?
Yeah, he did.
But Foxy, Foxy's Corrupt.
Yeah, and then he said Corrupt had said something bad.
I didn't even know that.
And then Corrupt, like, you know, and then, um,
Yayo didn't know.
Like, Yayo was like, he was sitting there,
and then Corrupt said, because, you know,
y'all do it for, like, whatever, whatever.
And that nigga Yale, this is a proud moment in my life.
Yale said, you think we playing on the East Coast?
My nigga, it's five, listen, hold on, it's 500 goons in the building, my nigga.
Yo, this shit was so awkward, because Yale represented.
But he didn't only represent G-Unit,
he represented the whole New York
because he wanted to let them know
that we don't play around with this.
It's like, no, no,
because, you know, corrupt dads,
everybody, those are my family,
they come on.
And it was cool right after that.
But it was cool,
but, you know, Yeo had to establish that.
Because it's like, yo, right now,
Joe Buttons, right?
Let's just keep it real.
Yeah, let's do it. We got the real 50 here right you want another shot
I mean we got drinking we can somebody pour another shot mr. Lee you taking a
man to spot today I need ice in my shit Joe but I got a lot of love for Joe
buttons I really really really do But I don't think he gets
what's going on
in real society.
And what I mean by that is
Meek and them niggas
ain't going to diss
that nigga back on record, yo.
I don't know what's going on.
Meek and them going to run down.
Oh, he dissed Drake and Meek
in a record recently.
Both of them.
Meek and them niggas
going to run down on that nigga.
You know what I mean, God?
Look, I don't really see them.
And Drake and them too.
Niggas sleeping on Drake.
He just got the producer beat up.
Yeah, I just don't see none of them doing that.
It's a fact, right?
It's a fact.
What are you laughing at?
It's a fact.
This is hip hop news.
Look at this.
Like, when you see hip hop artists...
Drake and them niggas are running down on niggas 50.
But I look at that...
Did you hear about that?
Detail, detail.
That nigga detail.
They jumped the nigga.
What the fuck?
You act like I'm discovering this new.
This shit is out there.
Discovery channel.
You didn't hear that Drake and them?
That nigga invited them to his crib in Calabasas.
To his crib?
In Calabasas.
When you wish you could beat a nigga up in your crib, though.
When you said, yo, come over, man.
You lazy.
You lazy. That shit you said to me,
fuck that.
Come over.
You tough, yeah.
You tough, but you lazy.
Come on, come on, 50.
I'm fucking with my crib?
Listen, I'm just saying.
Yeah, you know,
you know what's ill, look.
Yeah.
They don't give you...
You want people
all these niggas.
He loves this shit, though.
You see his face?
Did you see how...
He's so ready.
Look at him.
I can't really see a threat level.
Can you forgive me?
Listen, can you forgive me on behalf of street niggas?
I don't really.
You got to forgive me.
I'm not even talking to that nigga, man.
Look, look, look.
Forgive me.
Come on.
Okay.
When they was going back and forth.
He made Drake.
Right.
When you see them give Drake an award.
Are you going for another shot?
Okay. Him and Drake. When you see them give Drake an award. Are you going for another shot?
When he gets the award for the record,
it means they viewed it as if it was art for the first time.
The competitive nature of our culture in hip-hop,
they viewed that as art and they honored it because they didn't see the threat level in what he was saying.
You talking about Drake?
Whenever I'm competing,
they think it's going to spill out in the streets, some shit is going to happen.
Because they seen shit happen and as soon as you shot in front of a radio station, you
just stabbed it, the war shows, different things happen.
I think I was the first shooting in front of a radio station.
I'm not proud of that.
I'm glad that I'm not.
You obviously are proud of that.
Well I just wanted to establish I shot in front, oh no, excuse me.
You wasn't even there.
I was not there.
But it was my people.
Go ahead, continue.
No, I know exactly what it was.
I know.
I know exactly what it was.
For the radio station.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, no, I know.
That's my fight.
I apologize.
My fight was looking like a gangster.
Oh, look, 50, no way.
Shit.
No, you're lying.
Yo, but listen, can you admit that you petty 50, please?
I'm not petty.
No.
You petty.
I'm not petty. Why! You get away with it! I'm not petty!
Why, we just left, we just left Drake and Meek Mills.
Is that petty?
Wait, no.
This shit is hip hop shit.
We are all petty.
So all of this shit is petty, you gonna say?
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
So admit you petty, please 50, can you admit?
I don't wanna be a part of the petty segment.
Right, right, right. You can't even, for real, we need to. 50, you are. I don't want to be a part of the petty segment.
You can't.
For real, we need to.
50, you are our inspiration in the petty game.
It's the petty game.
In the petty game.
We got a picture of you.
I don't feel like we're recognizing my growth.
Yeah, no, no. We are recognizing your growth.
We know you richer than a motherfucker.
But we didn't know you go back to petty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I didn't respond with one line.
Not a punchline or nothing.
To who?
To me?
No.
Going back and forth with that.
Back in time with what he was talking about.
But he was really trying.
But that was your little man at one point.
Keep it real.
Come on.
Forgive me.
It's a mistake. It's a mistake. No, but that was your little man at one point. Keep it real. Come on. And this is where... Forgive me. The hood wants you to forgive me.
It's a mistake.
Because I could have let it be so quiet that you don't know I like him or he's cool.
Right.
Right.
Right? And then when that happens to him, it just happens to him.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
I looked at him because I watched these kids from just being on YouTube clips.
Like in the neighborhood rapping.
I like it because it's the raw element.
I got a record right now.
I play it for you on the podcast.
I can hear it.
Kids out of New York City.
It's like 16 years old.
Y'all know Curly Sav?

that wave. You know what I'm saying? So they sit there at the YouTube
shit playing it. Doing their
own little thing. You know what I'm saying? I just
try to stay in tune with what's going on.
So you're not going to make you petty?
No, I'm a sophisticated petty person.
I like that.
That's a cover mine.. I like that. That's a compromise.
Can I take that for a minute?
Oh, shit.
Can I take that?
I need a different take.
Sophisticated.
I've been looking for that word my whole life.
That's a good compromise.
I knew sophisticated and I knew petty.
I didn't know they'd go together.
Sophisticated petty.
I like that.
Sophisticated petty.
That's what we're going to call our record.
Because you're going to do that verse, right?
So many points. Correct. He's 50. Sophisticated Petty. That's what we're going to call our record, because you're going to do that verse, right? Correct?
He's in your face right now.
Yes.
Yeah, I'm going to play it for you.

The hood guard?
Like, you in a different Illuminati.
Can you tell me?

So, like, what little manati are you?
I don't want to get down.
People like when you do that.
Like, just don't give a fuck. Just tell the truth.
Yeah, just tell the truth.
Because they ain't looking and going,
what is really going on all the time?
So, is that what's going on with Donald Trump right now?
What?
You fucking with Donald Trump?
I read that somewhere.
Because Donald Trump's almost sometimes
in, like, the 50 cent of the politicians.
Check this out.
Check this shit out, right?
Don't you ever do that to me.
Look, look.
You know why I'm saying that?
Look, I took pictures
with Donald Trump.
I'm places where they at.
I didn't even know that.
I didn't even know that.
So you don't go
and see those photographs
and shit like that
and go, yo, like,
oh, okay, so 50's
are you, are you 50, can can i can i endorse him down to
trump because they saw a picture with you and i'm like man i don't ask me no shit like that you're
so quick you hear him say mexican people should be just behind the wall yeah that was right that
wasn't right fuck them shit man i'm like look it's okay to be politically incorrect and that's
what he's doing and i think the people don't trust politicians so I think being there and saying look I pay for this I won't owe people right right for this you
know I mean I think hip-hop should take over politics what do you think I think Kanye should
run but how dope would it be right dope. I didn't think I would hear that. I didn't think I would hear that either.
But how dope would it be, right?
Like, listen.
I don't care if he lose.
No, no, no.
If he's on the run.
Nah, nah, nah.
This is real shit.
Since you said it, real.
Kanye for president.
He got no felonies.
50 cent as the vice president.
As the vice president.
I'll be a consultant.
Yeah, I'll be a political consultant.
You don't want him to be vice president? Before I make noise. I got felonies. I'd be a consultant. Yeah. Political consultant. And you don't want him to be vice president?
Before I make noise. I got felonies.
They got A1s. So what? That's what make it
gangsta. Niggas that got felonies. I know, but they're not
going to let niggas. Donald Trump.
Yeah, you're right. You're right. But Donald
Trump turned hip-hop to a smack DVD.
I mean, he turned politics.
I think that's the smartest thing you ever said.
That is the smartest thing.
In my opinion, Donald Trump turned politics into a smack.
People don't trust politicians, so they look at them and say it's something different.
And even when he makes mistakes, they're saying he's just being honest.
Right.
But I don't think it's.
But that's like hip hop.
That's hip hop.
I don't think it is.
I don't think shit that he's saying is right.
Listen, Tupac told you Brenda's got a baby.
And then he said, the next record, Brenda ain't shit baby and then he said the next record Brenda ain't shit.
And then he said
he said
praise our woman
and then the next shit
he said
bitches ain't shit.
Like
that doesn't make him
contradictory.
That makes him
No it does make him contradictory.
No it makes reality.
Some days

shit is fucked up.
Let's just keep it real. Let's just keep it real. That's how life is. I'm sorry look at the camera man, shit is good. Some days, shit is fucked up. Let's just keep it real.

This is a whole crew.
And everybody pretty much want to shot their name out because you're here.
And, you know, it's one million.

Just in case.
I know I'm bugging out playing with you, but you did rub your nipples.
That was great.
That shit fucked up my childhood.
It fucked up my childhood.
Like, you my hero.
You really was on the video.
You rubbed his nipples. I was like, oh shit.
That was your ritual.
Hey, I think this shit is going to work out.
Listen, like certain things you can make cool.
You know how certain things is wrong, but you can make it cool because you just, you influence you.
I tried.
I said, yeah, I don't think that moment could ever be cool.
You my brother.
And you got this club
on South Beach.
Are you the first black person
to ever own property
on South Beach?
Yeah, on Ocean Drive.
It was just like 35 years ago.
Black people wasn't even
allowed on Ocean Drive.
They had to get written
by the chief
to even go on Ocean Drive
and they had to get off
by 8 p.m.
every night 35 years ago.
So now when we out there
having a club out there, there's a whole
lot of politics that we can do. Yeah, because I seen you
on the news the other day. What happened with
the news? The whole
community teamed up and said, hey, we don't
want no type of club coming
here at all. But meanwhile, Mangos
is right down the block. Of course. And Mangos do
the same exact thing. Pasties, nipples,
thongs. I just went there and said, damn,
Mangos are doing 30 million a year
and they just cleaned it up.
So it was kind of like
what MC Hammer,
like back in the days,
MC Hammer was clean.
So I said, damn.
Okay, let me just,
because our listeners are slow.
50 is talking
real millionaire language.
Just in case.
Because, you know,
most of our listeners,
but continue.
That was millionaire shit. I'm was me in there and shit.
I'm sorry.
I got lost, too.
I'm sorry.
They felt like we was about to open up a brothel.
Brothel is a whorehouse, correct?
Yeah.
Okay, continue.
So I was like, no, we're just opening up an adult.
Not even an adult.
We're just opening up.
Same thing as mangoes.
We're just opening up some place like mangoes that got soul food.
It's going to be like the black
hooters.
Which makes sense
right now.
No nudity.
The American West
with Dan Flores
is the latest show
from the Meat Eater
Podcast Network
hosted by me,
writer and historian
Dan Flores
and brought to you
by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian,
Dr. Randall Williams, and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll
say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the ice age people that were here
didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th,
where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways
in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley
comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.
This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated.

That whole thing that I was saying earlier that I heard, that happens from adult entertainment anyway.
What's that?
What's your concept of adult entertainment?
Mine is a man pays to get in, pays to get drunk,
and pays a woman to provide the fantasy.
Right.
And then go home.
Right?
Right.
Ain't that what adult entertainment is? My Boston niggas say, my Boston niggas say,
you know, you heard of Backpage? My Boston niggas, they don't even wantas say, you know, you heard of Backpage?
My Boston niggas, they don't even want to meet Amigo or girls.
They just want to pay Backpage.
They're fucking fucked up.
They mad foul niggas.
So they just want to pay.
Right.
Is this what you're breaking?
I'm not into that shit.
You're not into paying?
I've been saying no.
They say, let me quote them correct.
Come on, Mike.
Come over here.
What is it?
You look a little nervous.
Come over here, Mike.
They say they pay the bitch to leave.
They say that they don't pay.
That's what they say, right?
They say they pay.
These are married men.
I'm a married man.
My wife married over there.
New York City stats.
Like 65% of the people that are arrested for soliciting prostitution are middle-aged white married men.
Because they're prone to commitment.
Why do you like stats?
I know those stats.
You know what?
I would sit there and know it.
So you talk about 65% of that.
That's based on who was arrested last year
For soliciting prostitution
Now the white middle aged
Man that's prone to commitment
This nigga smart
Is actually paying that woman to not have a text message
To not have an email
To not have a phone number
And his phone is inappropriate for his wife
Because his life is that important to him
You're paying her to be quiet You're paying her to be quiet.
You're paying her to get the fuck out of here.
Like, right after the situation is over,
just go and let my life be the way my life is.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So that's the facts.
The stats are saying that.
You know what I'm saying?
So I don't know.
The imperfection with the man
that has been consistent is the lust factor
before they paved the ground.
When they had Dirt Rose,
they had,
they showed you brothels
and cowboys and Indians.
Right.
So,
it would show you
to say something's wrong
with it is to say
something's wrong
with the traditional man.
Mm.
Right?
Mm.
It's just there.
It's the oldest profession.
One of the things
we got to accept
while we're accepting
all of these
other alternative lifestyles,
let's just accept that.
You know what I mean?
We're adjusting to everything else.
That's true.
Now, recently, Jim Jones was on The Breakfast Club, right?
And they asked Jim, like, you know, would he squash beef with anybody?
And French Montana's name came up, right?
He got beef with French?
And he said, in order for him and French to move on,
they should shoot the fair one.
They want to fight.
Let me tell you why.
Who are you putting your money on?
I'm putting money on Jim.
On Jim?
I'm putting money on Jim.
Let's make some noise for 50 putting money on Jim.
And it's because he got something driving him.
There's passion behind that.
You see what I'm saying?
Him wanting to fight is because, really,
Frenchie's the DVD guy.
He's the cocaine DVD guy, and he comes around.
I know you're not going to hit it,
but I always just pass.
I'll guess that.
Yeah, I just always pass it.
That nigga don't smoke either.
And I don't smoke.
Heroin only.
Hey, give me that shit back.
I'm sorry, Frenchie. I I gotta try to get you out.
It's what the fans expect. I'm sorry.
It's not me. It's not me. This is cool. Give me a tape
past you. That was hard.
Hey, look, so what?
You saying Jim
hands down. What's the name? French
was the platform
for... He was a
big platform for he was a big platform for uh for the wave for max b right to go at jimmy right
the whole time that that was going on so he created that that place for a voice for
for max b and then so max allow him to see what it is is
max is like a writer like he would write for anybody like write anything so
when he turns into when he's turning into an artist and the dvd guys now let him say everything
that he wants to say about jim jones it's turning into it's because he was accepting french as an
artist he didn't look at him like he wasn't like you see you got something to say right like do it
you know i mean and then he started to grow into an artist.
It was different things.
Like, when he was really interested, what made me look at, first, early on, a little
sideways was when I had my issues with Joe and him back then, with Khaled.
You going to go there?
I didn't think you was going to go there.
They actually taped it.
When you see Khaled's mother sleeping on the thing.
Yeah.
And it says, you know,
a psychic told me,
French in them actually taped it.
You see what I'm saying?
And they sent it to me.
This is the crew that they're running around in now.
So I look at them like they suckers.
Damn, son, why you gotta do that?
I look at them like they suckers.
But if they got into it, I think, would have more passion fueling him in that actual fight.
Because French, from that position to where he's at now, he made it.
Because people accept him as an artist.
That's what he wanted to do.
He was dreaming to do it.
So he's there.
Will you ever forget French?
I ain't got nothing to forget.
Look, it's facts are facts.
I don't care about that,. Look, it's facts are facts. Right.
I don't care about that, really.
That's what it is.
I look at the whole circle, the whole camp like this.
Really.
Sitting over there, it's like, you belong with those suckers.
You know what I'm saying?
It don't matter to me.
I don't care.
I don't wake up or go to sleep with that on my mind.
I only brought that up because of what you just said.
You know what I mean?
Like, we're waiting.
I'm waiting for me.
Hold on.
So, listen.
Why are you getting weird? I'm going to be honest.
The only two beefs in hip-hop I was ever personally really concerned about was when Styles P and Beans.
Oh, Beans started again.
Yeah.
When Beans Start beefing
And it was because
You
In fact
Joe
Was already
Because
To me
Like you
I swear to God
I knew you early
Early
Early in the game
And I know Joe
And to me
Y'all the same
Like if you
You the same
Niggas don't smoke
Niggas don't drink
Niggas be on Niggas y'all be in the club.
Y'all both be in the club like this, watching everything.
Yo, which exit shit is it?
Like, yo, yo, yo, I mean, like, I said to niggas, I said, that's the reason why y'all bump.
Y'all, to me, pause.
I said, well, y'all the same exact person, to me.
Well, yeah, so look, I thought, look, Joe shit was him just being loyal to Defoe.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I didn't really have issues with him.
And what happened was it filtered over what was going on with me and Jai.
And it ended up, because they was doing, I'm from New York.
They was bringing it back.
Let's just be clear.
That was Patty on you.
Come on, let's get real.
The nigga said nothing about you.
That's it. And the you in the laws of power
let me break it down you're 50 you smarter than the average human being do you know that
you're smarter than everybody here right now at least me for sure you're smarter than me
you be saying shit i'll be looking at you like this nigga went to algebra like
Like you say like you stay in algebra class
You're smarter than the average in the
Like that slide
It would have went out of control at any other point afterwards. Let's just be clear. What part offended you cuz no no
It wasn't what they were saying. It was what it was doing. It was why they've standing by him. Well, let's just be clear. What part offended you? Because I... No, no, no. It wasn't what they were saying.
It was what they was doing.
It was why they were standing by him.
Yeah, it was cool.
Thank you.
I was in the video.
You never dissed me.
Thank you so much.
God damn it.
Make some noise.
Make some noise.
I thought I was coming
at some point.
I was like,
this is my nigga.
I hope he don't.
You never did.
You a real nigga.
But I was in that video.
You knew that?
I'm looking at the song.
You knew I was in the video?
I saw you.
You saw me?
I saw the whole shit.
I know, because you mad petty.
You mad petty! I knew for a fact you were mad petty.
Look, look, he know.
I'm sorry, I'll go ahead.
It's like you had it. You sat around him.
I was like, because he just, every nigga in the video, I was like, damn, this nigga want this.
Me? This my nigga!
Listen, the whole time I was like this, look.
The video was cool. I couldn't this, look. The video was cool.
Right.
I couldn't let the public feel like that was cool.
Yeah, yeah.
So I went at it right away because it would've started
something that made me have to start working all over again.
You see what I'm saying?
Like, cause if you had something that was working
at that point, it was cool.
And then I had to readdress the whole scenario again
with that, so I was like, you don't wanna, look, when it tells you to destroy, destroy completely,
it means if you hit me and you hurt me and you don't finish me,
you've just given me more passion than you have for the actual issue.
So don't even have the problem if you're not going to drive until you just finish him.
Because he'll come back on a later date and be prepared for you more than you were prepared for.
That's just what happens when I'm hit.
Right.
See, when a nigga halfway kill you, it hurts.
But 50.
Because you halfway dead.
Then you start to feel like motherfucking all kinds of your body hurting all over the place and shit.
Because 50, you mad smart.
But let's just be clear.
That was petty, 50. That just be clear. That was petty, 50.
That was not petty.
That was petty.
That was me addressing this shit before it got out of hand.
If the record worked and I left it without saying anything, right?
No, I think you got it.
It was supposed to work.
You know how you watch something?
You can tell when it's good, can't you?
Me, myself, I'm looking at it.
I'm like describing it.
So you knew it was good.
Yeah, it was good.
It was supposed to work. It's a strategy. Him you knew it was good. Yeah, it was good. It was supposed to work.
It's a strategy.
Him sticking with his own story is petty, by the way.
If I didn't say anything about that record, it would have worked.
Okay, I'm going to prove you petty right now.
I'm going to prove you petty.
He was trying to stump the record.
If I prove this point, you going to agree with me?
Yeah.
Okay.
Vivica Fox.
You're going to let that slide. You're going to let that slide Go ahead. Vivica Fox. You couldn't let that slide.
You couldn't let that slide, baby.
Listen, listen.
You couldn't let that slide.
Did you say she...
Wait, wait.
Most people want to eat Vivica Fox's ass.
You told her to kiss your ass, and you meant it literally.
Let's make some noise for that guy.
That's not what happened.
Okay, all right.
Tell me, tell me.
That's how I feel.
Listen, listen. Now, if the crowd tell me, tell me. That's how I feel.
Now, if the crowd, we're going to say yay and nay.
Because we're going to let the crowd, everybody's here, everybody goes to business as a base, right?
We're going to let you say your story, and then after you say your story, we're going to ask the audience.
And we're going to say yay, make noise for that, make noise, and we're going to see which is louder, all right?
And don't be scared, guys. But listen.
You can let that slide.
No, no, no.
Listen, listen.
How did it start?
What she did is she went on a show.
Okay.
What show?
And they had, was it Conan Show?
Yeah.
The late night show.
It wasn't Drink Chance Podcast.
And then while she was doing it, she said, they asked her about, you know how I like to create competitive energy.
Like, I put power up against Empire.
Did I tell you I knew you'd shoot somebody?
I told you I knew you'd shoot somebody.
Both coming on at separate times, separate, complete different types of shows, but really big successful shows with black actors in it. So I put them in competition because they borrowed
some of the actual marketing
from the Power Show
because we came first.
You know what I'm saying?
So they borrowed that
because the executives
over at Fox
are smart enough to say
it's very rare
that you hit the bullseye
on your targeted audience
and we want that.
So they took some of that
from Empire.
Now look,
when she gets a cameo, she's not even
in the show. You're not in series regular. You're just in the
show. She goes
to go do some publicity for
it and because she feels like
she has to respond
like now she's on team Empire
and I'm over there. So
when they say something to her, she goes,
well, no. And he needs to question himself
because when he says,
what do you say about 50 Cent saying Empire ratings are going down because it's gay?
Now, listen.
I said to you it's aggressive for you to have young kids doing it.
Because when you have young kids kissing each other on the TV,
the kids that are looking are not ready to accept that.
They go nah Too much
What's going on
You see what I'm saying
Like
We got gay characters
In power
But we made them
To connect
Right
So it's like
He's all the way
At the top low bar
You know what I'm saying
All the way at the top
Of the chain
He's doing that
Like you had gay characters
In the wire
Nobody said nothing
About Omar
Yeah Omar
Omar was the illest character
In the wire
You know what I'm saying
That's real
It's different things.
Because they don't say,
they're not talking about the gay
guy that's going to punch you, knock you the fuck out
and fuck you in jail. They're talking
about the guy that wants to be a girl.
You know what I'm saying?
When you look at
those projects, what she was doing,
when she put herself in a situation where she was in competition
with me, and she had to say something negative. She said well he should question his self about
Like this. Why does he say that? I don't know what the fuck I said
To myself personally I was like what the fuck is the matter with her?
You know I'm saying there I go cuz motherfucker get is older a lot older than cold as ice ain't nobody talking about him
You know I'm saying like it's one of those things where you go
Is 50 this this is biblical? Nah nah biblical I'm not this is not saying with
the fact that I get the same thing about this stick with the back and say look
she say like like like something about me being gay or need to question himself
and then I'm going to fuck me gonna say something like that and then you say and
that daughter I said when I thought about it, I said, oh no, this bitch
think I'm gay because I let her lick my ass.
Listen.
Listen, listen.
Stop.
Okay.
She's not right.
Yo, come on.
Yo, make some noise.
Come on.
Listen. Listen, listen. Okay. This is not right. Y'all put no- Yo, this is the one you know! Yo!
Listen, this is not right. Y'all put no kind of pressure on me.
I feel like I was shut out.
He said no.
He said no.
He said facts, he said facts.
Listen, listen.
You put me in.
This is what you built for yourself.
Yo, Mr. Lee, Mr. Lee, can you please, boy?
Listen, when that shit happens, I go, what the fuck?
Like, what's the matter with her?
What?
And I'm looking because she said some loud shit.
And when I say that, I'm like, well, that's going to be the only thing I can think of
why she would say some shit like that.
Right?
And then I go, all right, well, damn.
I'm just sitting there and I don't really know what else to say about the situation after that.
I'm like, well, whatever.
And then people look and you see all the kind of crazy,
they still calling me like I'm a punk.
Like, you're a punk, you let her do what?
You let her do that?
I'm like, listen, if she really want to, she ain't far from it.
She not far from it.
She already there, right?
So now y'all can go ahead and give me these looks like y'all ain't with the shit.
But y'all with the shit, man.
Y'all niggas watch pornography, right?
Y'all watch pornography?
Well, I know. let me tell the truth.
Turn the cameras around.
How many of y'all lick ass?
Oh my God!
How many of y'all lick ass before?
I don't give a fuck if it was conscious of it or it was by accident. And he'd be raising his hand right now.
Listen, listen, listen.
So you mean to tell me every man in here said they never licked ass?
Not even by accident?
Nah, nah.
These niggas love licking ass.
Not even by accident?
Nah.
You didn't by accident?
No.
We've had episodes about this shit.
He still got the bitch that he was trying to keep.

When she looked at his section, I said, oh shit, this bitch is bugging.
Right.
The only thing I could think of is because, you know, that happened.
But 50, you don't agree with me?
More of the whole story was that you actually answered her.
No.
You don't think you could have let that go?

It's like, look, you got to address some shit.
Like if a person says something publicly,
you gotta address it, like how you gonna not say nothing?
So you're still not admitting your past?
Alright, how about the Chelsea Handler?
She didn't say, what's her name?
Chelsea Handler, yeah.
She never, she didn't look on my eye.
No, no, no, he's just saying in general.
She said something about you and you had to go back out.
I didn't say nothing, I didn't say nothing.
I never had no idea.
She seemed like cool people.
She's a funny person, She's got a real personality.
So when you were smashing,
was she cracking jokes?
No.
How does this describe it?
It was serious.
It was dead serious.

I just look at her like,
it might be boring.
You're not a boring nigga,
so I get it by nickname.
What's her nickname?

So 50, you in the strip clubs?
That's how you know?
Well, no.
I just know.
I came across this spot because of what's-her-name.
Because of K.
K was out one night.
K said her name.
I had popped on the spot.
He was like, yo, you know what's-her-name on that joint?
I said, what?
Just because I coach her, I'm just conscious of the culture.
Oh, I'm going to prove why you petty right now.
It just came to mind.
Because you got to be down with me, 50.
Come on, my nigga.
We're from Queens.
We're in Miami.
But let's remember, we're from Queens.
We're from Queens always.
All right.
It was somebody who took a picture.
Was it ASAP Rocky?
Oh.
You was dating a chick.
No, no.
That wasn't.
This is petty.
That was not petty.
Yes, it's petty.
Come on. Y'all people in the room, we got to take't... This is Patty. That was not Patty. Yes, it's Patty. Come on.
Y'all people in the room, we gotta take a vote.
But yeah, alright, tell me the situation.
I'm gonna show you a picture of me with A$AP Patrick.
Listen, you got... Smiling. We're smiling
and having a good time.
That was not me addressing
because I see it, but he's doing what he regularly
do. Like, you know how you get somebody
to DM and say something, like whatever.
I'm like, ah, it's cool.
You know, the motherfucker wasn't shit in no way.
He was just somebody I was hanging out with at the time.
You know what I'm saying?
But what happened?
You answered that nigga.
I answer everybody.
Why?
This is daddy.
I always get to the point where I go, wait,
this motherfucker, all right.
If they got an issue, like, if they don't address it,
if it doesn't come to me first, I don't ever address it.
You know what I'm saying?
Like if you're saying,
look,
I'm not.
Have you poured him another shot?
Oh.
I could picture that.
Put some ice in my shit.
I could not say anything.
Keep it at 100.
Look at this,
look.
I'm putting ice in my shit.
If I didn't respond to nobody
like I was bigger than everybody
in our culture,
Right.
How would anybody
be recognizable?
You understand
what I'm saying to you?
Like the competition,
they competed with someone else.
If you didn't say anything,
you just sat there.
50, you keep spawning
to everybody, man.
You gotta chill.
Check this out.
You gotta relax.
When's the last time
you heard me say something?
Like anybody said nothing.
Because niggas are terrified, man.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
You went at everybody, man.
During that time period,
I'm going,
and you know what it is too,
it's also the momentum.
You know that people
are uncomfortable.
You see the same shit
that Drake is saying.
I got enemies
hanging out with my enemies
and he's writing this shit
in his music
and who's he talking about?
Right.
He's talking about
other artists.
He look at their enemies at this point right because you don't have
no altercations there's no as puffy isn't he that's only one of those I
think puppy slapped him right oh yeah I heard that in Miami is correct Akanele was there Yes He was there Tell us Tell us the story
I was there
I'm uncomfortable

With this conversation
I throw it to somebody else
Pew

You said
Sophisticated pettiness.
I just joined that game.
He identified pettiness.
I just joined that game.
You know what?
Look, every now and then, somebody will say something, and you'll be like, where's it
coming from?
What makes you think it's okay to say it?
Right.
Now, I didn't forget that.
See, there was a point in our culture where you had to actually be what you said.
Right.
Right.
Be who you are. Now it's different. You can just say some shit. Right. Right. Be who you are.
Like, now it's different.
You can just say some shit.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Because they're trending.
Like, they're saying it's cool if it feels like the last cool thing that came.
Right.
Not if it's something completely new.
Like, you can't really have, that's why they're not really having a moment.
That's why we get a lot of one records from guys.
Like, they come and it's one record here, then it's another record.
It's a lot of guys. I have probably five records in the DJs playlist with a guy that got one song They may not have another one off that album. You know Sam
They didn't develop that whole
Thing like you had to get bounced around a little bit in order to be good enough to come with your own thought
Your own thought wave your own process your own music and it had to be your own style like your own shit like you know now it's the same same cadences
it's easier like i'm the man it's easier that record is easier for me to do than what i would
do traditionally it's a slower tempo i don't need nobody to say ad-libs but as i can say the
record clear to you word for word right here And you hear it And go yo
And
When they're listening to
That double time bounce
It's really a slower
It's a slower track
It's like what Snoop says
Snoop said something
No but
Let me just keep it real
Let's get to the point
Like you had
You had people scared
Like even if
That was your jump off
Or whatever
Like people were scared
To take pictures with bitches
It's a fact
Oh no
It's a fact
Like I tatted up Molly, what was it?
Instagram.

Do you think that?
It sounds like their contracts are happening so early
that people are attached to them as they blow up.
Right, because they ain't missing.
Like, every artist they come out becomes a star.
You know what's cool?
It was, remember, that was New York at one point.
That was New York.
It was a hub in New York.
Now, Fab said you divided New York.
Fab said that?
Yeah.
I heard, what's the name said?

Excuse me.
Maybe it was Ebro.
So Ebro said that where?
When he said that, you know what's interesting?
They knew the circumstances that I came in under.

because I'm not going to let you leave.
At some point,
we're starting a different relationship
because you're a rich nigga and you're going to keep
me rich. Come on, let's do it.
We're going to do something, my brother.
I think this is track masters. You remember
two ways? No, no.
Who was the first nigga with two ways? You had it first.
Let's make some noise for me having it first.
Listen, listen.
I was the first nigga with a two way.
Keep it real. No, no, no. We still had
beepers. That's right. Nigg We still had beepers. That's right.
Niggas still had beepers.
And you came in and you had the big,
the little gray joint that slipped open.
I was like, y'all can do email.
Niggas was looking at me like,
what the fuck you going to do with an email?
I didn't even know what an email was.
I just knew email was fly. It was too early.
I was like, yo, let me get that.
Yo, I swear to God.
I was in, I don't know what store I was in.
Nick was like, yo.
It was like, and it was like $2,700 at the time.
I'm talking about the original two-way.
Or like $1,800, something like that.
It was like, the first one, I had the very first two-way.
I'm telling you, Motorola store.
Motorola store.
It's like a great joint.
I was a StarTech Motorola.
And then, and Trackmasters.
Those were the second niggas with it.
They had it, and then other niggas got it.
Yeah, Trackmasters. They went and got them after you.
Yep, they got them after me.
I watched it happen.
I just wouldn't have gone by that shit at that point.
Right, right, right, right.
I was like, man, the beat and shit should work.
Because you're a petty nigga.
Why nigga?
King Petty.
You had it.
You the King Petty.
I'm like right under you.
I'm like Senor Petty.
Come on, baby, let's do it.
I drink your gang.
I'm going to keep it real. Listen up. When I say every time you think I'm starting, youor, baby. Come on, baby, let's do it. I drink your gang. I'm going to keep it real.
When I say every time you think I'm
starting, you got to look at what just happened.
And then you see what really
transpired. What's behind it.
So how did you get F'n Vodka, man?
They've been approaching me to do spirits
since 2004. So this is a vodka company that
already existed prior to you. Similar to
like how Puff with the Syrah? Beam Satori,
same type of deal.
So where was you at, France?
Puffs with Diageo, there's still with...
This is grape vodka as well?
Cause you were rich.
No, no, no, no.
Puffs is not even vodka.
It's grapes.
Let's go there, baby.
It says made with vodka.
We ready, we ready.
We know where you going.
You know what I'm saying?
We ready.
We got everything.
It's so fancy.
Made with vodka.
Mmm. You know, it's grapes. Wait, what? It's grapes. So it's's like wheat, we got to read the letters. It's so fancy. Made with vodka. You know,
it's great.
Wait, what?
It's great.
Are you breaking down
smart again?
We need the dumb version.
We need more sugar
because this is made from wheat.
Okay.
It's from Holland.
It's distilled five times.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's a lot less sugar
and it's a lot smoother
than the Syrah brand.
And then later,
when you have a headache
because you finished
your full bottle of Ciroc,
you shit banging.
Talk about it, 50.
I'm going to tell you.
See, I told you
I was better than you,
nigga.
Right, right, right.
Told you I was smarter.
Right, right.
He did drink
his own product, though.
He really did.
He really did drink
his own product.
I swear to God,
niggas told me,
yo, 50's not going to drink.
I swear to God.
Yeah, that's right.
I asked everybody
in the universe.
I do it occasionally, man. Occasionally. So you going to take another shot? Well, this would be the right going to drink. I swear to God. I asked everybody in the universe. Occasionally, man.
So you're going to take another shot?
Let's just take one more shot.
That's three shots.
Three is my lucky number, but listen, four
is for... No!
You can't keep taking shots like that. I told you.
The mafia. You got to look eye to eye.
Boom. Now we do it.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser
known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian
Dr. Randall Williams and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say,
it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th,
where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to understand how it helps inform the ways
in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will
always be no. Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley
comes a story about what happened when a multibillion-dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.
This is Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated.
I get right back there and it's bad.

And 50 is agreeing with us.
He told me he was going to pay him because he's dropping me.

what's the matter
with this nigga, right?

in Jimmy's mind
that he put it together.
Right.
Because he's leaving

How was he involved at all?
Christmas to the fact that he already signed me once over here at Columbia and Jimmy
I've been talking to this guy the whole time. He's fucking he's gonna be good like this is the look he's hot
This is the guy he gave you that confirmation and then when it works

Later, you're going to find out a little shit that I be saying.
Do you understand what I'm saying?

You gave me alcohol.
Damn, yeah, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Your alcohol, motherfucker!
It's your alcohol!
Listen, listen.
Let's stop.
Did we take that shot already?
No, but this is the kind of awful shit that was going on at the same time.
I didn't know that.
I'm sitting there looking going like, what the fuck is...
Okay, maybe this is one of those things where because I'm from the neighborhood,
I don't understand what's really going on.
Right?
And then it was just his own little thing.
Like, Chris didn't give a fuck.
I guess it was have everybody here so they know I'm secure.
And I don't care about none of that shit.
And I'm going through my own little feelings.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I don't know how that works.
You know what I'm saying?
But it is what it is.
That's what happened.
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, I was going to get there.
And I was a type.
You know what I'm saying?
Like executive type.
You want to tell me you went to school and shit like that?
You better not tell me you got no gag reflex.
I'm going to turn this serious.
I don't know if I'm bringing that up as a good idea.
So I'm going to bring a serious one question,
and then we're going to move on from this.
But Chris basically managed you your whole career.
Yeah.
Chris managed me basically my whole career.
I'm sorry to ask this question, but we're going to both ask the question.
Do you think he committed suicide? No, I don't believe that. I don sorry to ask this question, but we're going to ask the question. Do you think he committed suicide?
No, I don't believe that.
I don't believe he killed his son.
So what do you believe?
Because you hired an investigator?
Yeah, I hired investigators for it
because I didn't believe,
like for Tiffany.
The daughter, that's the daughter.
I did that, you know what I'm saying?
Because her and her,
his mother and his family,
his brothers and them didn't believe in that, so I paid for it. But you personally, what do you believe? You know what I'm saying Because Her and her His mother And his family His brothers
And them
Didn't believe in that
So I paid for it
But the
But you personally
What do you believe
Like I spoke to him
Right before
The day
Yeah yeah
The same day
Or the day before
The night before
It was like
He was still under the weather
Like he was still under the weather
He was
Went to the doctor
Came in
He was like
Talking real low and shit
And I was getting my hair cut
and we was talking
on the FaceTime shit
so you don't have to
as long as this
and I was in Germany
at the
their
consumer electronics
convention
so
when I'm talking to him
he was like
yeah yeah
real soft spoken
cause he
you know
he's not feeling good
and then shorty came in and said you on the phone she was real mad like what the fuck and I was like, yeah, yeah, real soft spoken, because he was feeling good. And then Shorty came in and said, you on the phone?
She was real mad, like what the fuck?
And I was like, we laughed at what was going on.
And after he said, yo, I'll call you back, I'll call you back.
Because he was just out of it, like he was sick,
so he couldn't, the fuck, you on the phone?
She went like that there and i was like
damn and it was it was funny to us because we didn't really
at that point he wasn't going all right you know so it was just something to laugh at like he just
got some going on at the house all right then later you look at it and you go wait this
don't feel right because the he didn't have the energy at that point to reciprocate.
So you think that she had it done?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I won't put that on nobody.
Yeah, don't put that on nobody.
But I don't believe he just knocked himself off like that.
I can't believe that neither.
I'm sorry.
I know this is a touching point for both of us. But i look at you and face to face man man i don't believe
that either when they try to say but are we in denial like let's just keep it real no no no no
are you you're denying what your petting is listen but i know that but but what i'm saying is are we
me and you because i'm with you on this 100%. Are we in denial?
Because I did hear some funny stories one night.
I just hung out somewhere.
And it was actually me and my wife.
I don't want to blow up who I talk to.
Look at this.
All the funny stories and all that shit I heard.
Everything you can think of I heard.
I know.
You had to hear what I heard.
You had to hear.
What's happening is when they start to say it's because he was having financial problems.
Right, yeah, please.
Let's make this clear.
Look, he lost money with Bernie Madoff.
Right?
Word.
Makes sense.
When he lost the money,
I come to the office, I'm laughing at him, right?
Because I'm like, oh, so you found a nigga
to give you 33% of the charge on that
and didn't even say nothing about that, huh?
Uh-huh.
My nigga.
So you forgot to tell the nigga
that you found a nigga like that
that could give you that kind of money on returns.
You ain't cut me in at all on the deal.
I'm glad the motherfucker lost the money.
So I'm laughing at you.
Y'all just made $100 million.
Let's make some noise for that.
Y'all just made $100 million with vitamin water.
Goddamn it.
It's easy, man.
I'm looking at him going, why you ain't tell me
that you found somebody that could show you those returns on the money?
And I said, because Bernie was showing the returns up until the notch.
It was like a pyramid.
Hold on, you met Bernie?
Yeah, so he was doing it.
You met Bernie?
No, this is what Chris had already.
I keep going.
This is a story so crazy.
So now I'm going, yo, how you miss that one?
How you ain't tell me about that?
And he's like, oh man,
this is some bullshit or whatever.
And he's like,
yo,
he got money,
but it was tied in the investments
that he would have lost.
He would have had penalties
if he pulled out
before the time period.
So I said,
I give you a million dollars
and you just give it back to me?
You know,
when,
the thing is, on the time period, it's like, we'll make periods when... The thing is, like, on the time period.
It's like, we'll make periods and you say,
all right, all right, cool.
He didn't even ask.
I said, I'll give it to you
because it didn't make sense for me to be...
We make too much money together
for you to be under those...
I'm not sure you're going to work the same
if you got that type of pressure on you.
This is going...
Skip, you not...
You miss it.
They didn't miss no family vacations,
no nothing. Everything's on, happening the it. They didn't miss no family vacations, no nothing.
Everything's on, happening the way it would
happen at any other point.
So,
the crazy part is at the time
that I'm actually getting the phone call from him
is me telling him,
look, he's saying,
yo, that's already dealt with.
Because, like, time went by,
time went by. And he's talking about,
what is it?
He gave me back the million dollars, Lord.
Oh, he gave you back.
So the money that I had loaned him, the million dollars,
at the time, right before he passed away,
it's us having a conversation like,
yo, talk to your people because all that money,
you know, I did that.
It's all back now. So he's telling me...
What amount of time was that?
That was two weeks later?
No, it was an eight-month time period.
But in the eight-month time...
He gave you with the profit?
He put the money back, the million dollars back.
So he said, yo, that's back, so why the fuck would he be talking about
financially being strapped?
Oh, this is after the Madoff shit was already exposed.
So he just gave you your money back.
When he took that hit, I gave him a million dollars.
Right.
Right?
Oh, I see what you're saying.
That million dollars, he had his money and other investments, but he couldn't take it out or he would have lost money.
Okay, so you was helping him at that point with the Madoff shit.
Just giving him a million dollar float money so he don't have to fuck with his other money.
Right, right, right.
Then, eight month time period went by And That money is back now
It's put back into my account
So he's like yo
That's back so fast
And I'm saying yo
I'm getting ready to run
And then he go
He get happy
He light it up
Light was sitting right there
My barber right there
He was actually cutting my hair
Like my nigga
Light where you from?

Poops is right.
No, he ain't admitting his, he's fully admitting his foulness.
He's just not accepting his fully pettiness and I respect that.
Hey, you know.
Because you're petty.
When you're petty, you can't just be
accepting shit.
It depends on who you're
asking.
Right, right.
It depends on who you're
asking.
Now, how the fuck was that
working with Dr. Dre?
It was fun.
Like, you know, it was ill
because I was so seasoned
when I went to work with Dre
that I only worked with Dre
for four days on
Get Rich or Die Trying.
Wow.
What?
I've never heard that. Four days, we did
In the Club, P.I.P.,
Back Down, Church,
no, In the Club, P.I.P.,
Back Down, If I Can't,
and
this record called Angels.
It never came out.
50 Floss on us again.
You did all of those in four days?
Four days.
Look, because right after I did that with Dre.
See, this nigga's a robot.
I told you that nigga's smarter than everybody.
Yeah.
Yo.
You know you're on hood with Bill Gates, right?
No, you are.
You are on hood with Bill Gates.
That's how we look at you in the hood.
Let's make some noise for that, God damn it.
Say that, say thatmit. Say that shit.
The four days.
Yeah, we recorded for four days with me and Dre.
And then I got those records out of that four days of recording.
Then we went to Detroit and I worked with Em.
We did two records.
Like, every day.
But we did two and we kept one of the two records that we did.
Those two days. Those but we did two and we kept one of the two records that we did those two days
that we did
and then
that whole
that album process
was like
just the way I think
at that point
because it wasn't like
the simplicity of it
was what made it special
like it was like
go shorty
it's your birthday
I didn't have to think hard
to come up with that one
and you thought of that
as soon as you heard the beat
yep go shorty it's your birthday you know what I have to think hard to come up with that one. And you thought of that as soon as you heard the beat?
Yep, go shorty, it's your birthday.
You know what I'm talking about?
You know, Dre was going, because the Back Down record,
he had gave it to Busta Rhymes.
He had gave the Back Down record to... Oh, this nigga's giving us exclusive, senior friend.
He gave the Back Down record to...
Wait, wait, wait, he gave Back Down to Busta?
Rakim had the Back Down with the gun clicks in it.
That's Elias Wilson fly, just in case you see that.
He playing today.
He flying, he flying.
Let's be careful.
Go ahead.
But they look, he, Rakim had it first, and then I think he gave it to Busta Rhymes,
and then I got the track.
No, Rakim and then D12 had
the In The Club beat.
Wow.
And they passed on it
so I got that.
You're going to make us
too hot right now.
You sure you want to get this?
No, that's the truth.
Oh my God.
Dre,
if you get Dre
on this podcast
he's going to tell you
how she got you.
Yeah, we're getting
Dre on the podcast.
Oh, come on.
Thank you, 50.
You just predict
we're going to get Dre?
Oh my God. This nigga's a genie. Let's make some noise for that. Yeah, we're getting Dre on the podcast. Oh, come on. Thank you, 50. Did you just predict we're going to get Dre on the podcast?
This nigga's a genie.
Let's make some noise for that.
I still can't believe you came.
I'm going to be honest.
Because you know why?
I said this earlier, and I've got to correct the part.
I said, yo, I don't know Rich 50.
I know Broke 50.
Is that foul?
No, no.
It's not foul, right? Everybody transitions.
No, I respect your transition, nigga.
That's why I respect your transition.
Nigga, I was watching from afar.
I was blowing horns.
I didn't have it physically.
It was in my mind.
It was like, whee!
Every time you was winning.
So I'm like, yo, so I'm like,
yo, this nigga really came, my
brother. Thank you, my brother.
I appreciate it. I really need you on the Petty
record, though.
I had to hit a record, and it was good.
He's got it right now.

So how was it having vitamin water?
What did that do?
Oh, it was cool.
I mean, that was just the start of it.
So how did they approach you and say, get down with this?
No, no.
I actually was in the produce aisle.
The what?
The produce aisle.
The supermarket.
And I was walking and I saw a gallon of spring water for $2.69.
And I went further and I saw a gallon of spring water for $2.69. And I went further and I saw a gallon of spring water for $0.59.
And I know I wouldn't know the difference between what springs you're saying they come from
if Poland Springs didn't spend marketing dollars to say that it's a better product.
Right.
So I'm going, I want to sell water.
Chris was like, for water?
And he's like, to who?
Like, where?
And I'm like, to everybody.
Like, everywhere. And he's like, to who? Like, where? And I'm like, to everybody. Like, everywhere. And he's like,
hey.
It was more confusing
to him than saying I wanted
to sell a vodka or something like that.
Because it's easier. You know exactly
what hub to approach. Everything is right there
for you. You know, it's three
800 pound gorillas. You can go to Picardy,
you can go to Diageo, you can go to band.
I think it's the mass market
When you look
And you say you want to sell the water
We had to wait
I waited until
I found it
The actual product in a gym
On Sunset
The vitamin water
It was there
Los Angeles
Yeah
Sunset Boy
I went to this gym
It was like a high end gym
And shit
And they had the water in there
And I was like
Yo this is like this right here
That's what I was talking about
And then
Kind of found out
The company was private owned.
It was based in Queens.
Oh, shit.
What?
You know, the people there understood.
Vitamin Water came from Queens?
It's based in Queens.
Damn.
And they, like, provided stock options for their employees to provide incentives because
it was, like, a, you know, growing company.
And then people who provide stock options for that, you can buy those options.
Right.
From each one of the individuals.
Like, you know, because people from each one of the individuals.
Because people are living it now.
I got a higher assistant.
Can you just train my assistant please? Because the shit
that you talk about, I'm like, damn, this
nigga is... What water was you
drinking?
Damn.
That's crazy.
As good as you is,
you're so articulate. When I get into that, that's crazy. As good as you is, you like so articulate.
When I get into that, I tweak out.
Because it's like, look, when we sell crack, we don't actually use it.
That's right.
They'll ask me, you know, why you don't drink the vodka all the time.
No, I'm not drinking it with me.
It's my birthday.
That's right.
Oh, that's right.
July 6th is your birthday.
Let's make some noise.
Yo, listen.
On Dream Champs.
On Dream Champs.
Yo, listen, listen. On Dream Champs. Yo, listen.
On Dream Champs,
every day is your birthday
or New Year's Eve.
But we actually...
You actually can't...
Listen, July 3rd,
this is the day
I met my wife.
God damn it.
God bless her.
I love her.
And this is the day
my father died.
Wow.
So I'm always sad
on July 3rd.
I'm always flip on somebody that I'm close to.
We had a fight yesterday, me and him.
Yeah, me and him.
We broke up yesterday.
You didn't know that?
Dream Chance, we broke up yesterday.
And then I seen you in the club.
I seen you in the club and I was like,
nigga, let's get it together.
But I'm always, and you came and you was a blessing for me today, my brother.
Like, I can't front.
When I met you early in them days, there was nothing that was going to stop you.
Like, you had the attitude from the beginning of, like, I don't give a fuck about anything, and I'm going to win.
And I'm going to win.
And now you laid out a blueprint.
I feel like step by step, people like Troy,
there's a lot of people who owe their career to you
because, like I said, I got nothing but love from Prodigy.
But when me and him started the beef, I just thought, like, you.
Like, I literally took your format.
I was like, I'm going to think how he think because he wins everything.
You know, it's ill.
I'm a foul leaguer for that.
He made some noise for that.
God damn it.
God damn it.
I don't think Pete really knew what he was doing when he did that.
The box that he opened right in that.
I think he just felt like he was telling the truth and nobody would...
No penalties would be involved.
No repercussions.
Because everybody is exempt from those activities because the time was up.
Because if he was worried about it
being him snitching,
he wouldn't have did that.
Right.
You know, but him saying
these things,
and people was like,
I was like, damn,
like, how do you know
I'm prepared or comfortable
with everybody knowing
I did that?
Right.
Today.
Right.
I like Garcia.
Garcia, look at him.
He's like,
who the fuck's phone is that?
I like that, Garcia.
Okay, you got all,
you got, I'm giving you
That's the way he didn't take into consideration
how people would feel
when their laundry was out.
Even if it didn't mean
any type of legal.
It was a lot.
I can't defend him for that.
He did that.
For me, I was a fan of his music.
You know why.
You know what I'm a fan of his music. You know why. Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and Hav, the same thing.
Like, you know, it's just like, Hav is different.
Like, I need him for me.
Right.
He was here.
He came here. Because there's a rumor that spread that Maude Deet wouldn't do shows with CNN.
Why wouldn't he do it?
I don't know.
We shout out to him a lot of times.
A lot of times.
That's what it is.
So maybe that's why.
Yeah. I mean, and Hav came here to clear up the room with and we can we great clear if there's listen we're supposed to do a Queens tour I got

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show from the MeatEater Podcast Network,
hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser-known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in
conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and 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 iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops call this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley
comes a story about what happened when a multi-billion dollar company
dedicated itself to one visionary mission.
This is Absolute Season 1.
Taser Incorporated.
I get right back there and it's bad.

When you see things happen and you say, it just wasn't my time to go.
Right.
That means God has a plan for you, right?
And if God has a plan and we broke it down to heartbeats, you got a certain amount of
heartbeats that you're going to have, right?

I'm still okay with you niggas you licked ass before.
You know what I mean.
I'm still all right with you.

But he had his legs fully clipped up in the air.
And the bitches was there.
And I was like,

So I'm looking, like, I'm on Periscope,

He got the best Periscope in the whole game,

How did this happen?
Okay, so, Fendi, describe this situation.
Did she actually, like, what position you was in?
It was really like the traditional oral sex music.
I've seen those.
Traditional.
He said traditional.
In the mids.
You're laying on the bed, right?
And she gets in between your legs.
And she's there, so she can, you know,
you sit back, you like wanna put your hand.
Don't go back, don't go back.
Wait, David Banner fell down, don't do that.
Bad things happen.
No, you know what you do, like everybody does it.
You know what I'm saying, like your hands start,
you wanna relax in a different way,
but you wanna leave one hand so you can like use your hand.
Right.
So it's one of these things.
This nigga 50's crazy.
This is what fucks with me
because people make like
I'm doing something

You're talking about Vivica. Let me ask you a minute. This is Vivica Fox, though. You don't watch porn? You're talking about Vivica.
Let me ask you a question.
You're talking about
like 6'9".
You want to talk to me?
You want to talk to me
if you watch porn?
From the Coliseum.
Turn around.
Turn the camera right there.
Yeah.
Whatever you're talking to,
please answer.
Do you watch porn?
Do you watch porn?
Okay.
Hell yeah.
Right?
You watch porn.
So you see real freaky shit
all the time, right?
Uh-huh.
You do.
But this is Vivica Fox. So you want to do some of the freaky shit you see. Right? You watch, so you see real freaky shit all the time, right? Uh-huh. You do. But this has been
a long time.
So you want to do
some of the freaky shit
you see, right?
Tell the truth.
Why are you watching this shit?
You want to make sure
there ain't no freaky shit
going on out there
that you're not up on, right?
Right.
You said, look,
if I can get the business
to do some super freaky shit,
why you ain't going to do that?
Oh, so you asked her?
No, I didn't ask for that.
I did not ask for that.
This is why I was so upset when she said it.
I said, wait, I really did.
I had to search my road days for things that happened.
Things that took place.
And I said, well, what the fuck would make her say that?
Like, I was really going through it in my head.
And I said, oh, shit.
I said, what's that?
It's a punk shit. Like, I was like a punk oh, shit. Because she was saying some punk shit.
Like, I was like a punk or some shit.
Like, maybe she said, like, I'm a, like,
he didn't question himself, like, his own sexuality.
I'm like, huh?
So they asked her, so what, so did he do something
that makes you feel like you should question?
And then she moved away from me
because she didn't have nothing to say.
But at that point, she was saying some shit,
and I was like, what the fuck is the matter?
This old bitch done lost her mind. And I'm like, I don't have nothing to do but at that point she was saying some shit and I was like what the fuck is the matter this old bitch done lost her mind and I'm like I don't have nothing to do with
this shit like I'm always
This is biblical fuck
Listen I dated her I don't give a fuck who she is
This is biblical
This is something that happened
You should have gave one back
No this shit happened 11 years ago
This is a motherfucker I dated 11 years ago
Stop Norrie this bitch is crazy
I don't give a fuck that you know her name
She's just somebody I dated 11 years ago and I don't fuck with her no more
So I'm trying to figure out why the fuck she was dating her
I don't know why she was dating her
I don't know why she was dating her
I don't know why she was dating her
I don't know why she was dating her
I don't know why she was dating her I don't know why she was dating her I don't know why she was dating her I don't know her name. She's just somebody I dated 11 years ago,
and I don't fuck with her no more.
So I'm trying to figure out why the fuck
she would be saying some shit like that.
That's it. That's all it is.
Whether I'm motherfucking famous or not,
you're going to look at it and say,
if somebody I dated, I don't communicate with the person
or fuck with this person no more.
And she just said some wild shit.
I'm like, where did that come from?
And it's just crazy.
You know what I mean? I think
that shit was out of nowhere for me, so I responded
to it just with, you know,
my phone.
Let's get to the question. Do you forgive anybody?
I forget about it.
You forgave Pat Joe. Thank you.
That was dope.
But you know what? We never never really, we never got a chance
to do nothing to have,
like when you think about it.
But it seems like
you don't forgive niggas.
After all boils down,
I go,
what was my issue
with this nigga?
Right.
And I don't got one.
With him personally.
Like, I'm like,
I don't have nothing
with him personally.
And I'm like,
I'm kind of bugging.
Like, now,
when we did the
tribute for Chris.
Chris Light.
Yes, yes. Look at this i was very i was
very proud of you pistol p first off first off i don't think i said this the whole interview
i'm i'm i apologize i'm very proud of you sir i sent you from the beginning no this is real shit
i sent you from the beginning and i sent you had this idea and this ambition and you never stopped
no and i can only salute that.
And thank you.
Thank you.
Because, yo, that's your inspiration for every other nigga that want to tell another nigga, suck my dick.
I got to do it.
I got to.
I'm going to do it.
Suck my dick for a million.
For 50.
For 50.
This is where I feel, right?
My favorite hotel is the W Hotel, right?
I stayed at the W worldwide.
Wherever there's a W, I W Hotel, right? I stayed at the W worldwide. Wherever there's a W,
I stayed there, right? And every
time I go to the W, there's a gay flag.
I have nothing. I have
no problem. I salute that. You know what I'm
saying? It's dope. But I feel like
hotels,
places, establishments should have a
hip-hop flag. Do you think my
retargetment is... I mean... Retargetment?
That was hard. That's a new word.
Retargetment. You think my
argument is legit, or
you think I'm bugging? You think I'm retargeting?
Well, I think hip-hop is worldwide. We've already
grown to the point that... No, but
listen, some nights you can go to
an establishment, and they don't like
all kind in there, but I feel like
just like, big up
to the gay flag flag but if I
was to see your establishment whether it's five star four star whatever and
they got that hip-hop flag out there I know I'm welcome I know there's a room
for me that I'll probably smoke in you know I'm saying like you don't know if
that applies to us like to hip-hop as a culture but there's no place that you
say and I'm retarded no I'm just because there's no place that in the world So you're saying I'm retarded?
No I'm just saying there's no place
in the world
that has embraced
a culture that was
limited.
At one point
I remember having
the tape cassette
having to put tissue
in it and record
during the time period
that it would play
for one hour
on the radio.
You know what I'm saying?
And then it's grown
to the point that
if you don't like hip hop
you're still aware of it.
Because we've grown
to the point that the influences don't like hip-hop, you're still aware of it. Because we've grown to the point that the influences from hip-hop have bled into other platforms.
Like, now you got, like, look, the Power Series, for me, it's like give it to Dodge Ryan again.
All right.
You know what I'm saying?
On a different platform.
It's the largest debut show, like, largest original series.
It has some stacks.
It has some stacks.
It's the largest original series. Right. On the Starz network. The Starz, like, largest original series. Hit us with some stats. Hit us with some stats. It's the largest
original series
on the Stars Network
at 6.9,
but it'll be the largest
original series period
this year.
Let's make some noise
for Stars.
Yeah!
Power!
Power!
God damn it.
God damn it.
With the growth
for this season,
you'll see it reach a point
that you...
And you did say
you were going to let me
shoot somebody on there,
correct?
We did say that, right?
You told me you committed a little bit. You made that happen and I said, wait, let me shoot somebody on there correct? we did say that right? you told me
you committed a little bit
and I said wait
let me see
alright
let's do it real quick
because I got to get to Courtney
I don't run this shit all the way
right
that one
Courtney Kemp
the writer
showrunner
she's you know
she's dope
and it's grown
it's good
like I feel good about it
Omari Hardwick
we got a whole crew of people
that's there
that's talented
new people
and I was
I felt like it was more important to have good music speak for the characters at points.
Like Curtis Mayfield, music spoke for Ron O'Neal in Superfly.
At those points, the character didn't have to say anything because the music was saying
what he was thinking. And in actual television,
there's a place for bad music
in scenes and films on television
because they spend money everywhere else.
And the last place in the budget
that they actually allocated their finances
is to getting the music.
So they may take a guy who has a sample free song
from wherever.
Because the actual right the guy that is the music coordinator may know someone who has sample free music that is
willing to have it played for nothing because he wants the exposure and he'll end up having a song
played in the background of a television program you know so just those relationships i mean that
it also is letting people be hip
to who they should step to
to get their original music played.
Now, there was a rumor this year at Summer Jam
that Fat Joe wanted to bring out you and Ja Rule.
Joe, look, he does, like,
he wants to consider his relationship with Ja,
and he didn't want to do that shit.
Right.
Wait, we didn't hear what you just said.
What?
I slurred the internet because
it's the way it is. It's the effort.
Let's make some noise for effort.
Effort sponsors drink chance.
Effort sponsors drink chance.
We heard you're the only nigga
that's really paying niggas when you're down.
Yeah, I do. We heard you're the only nigga.
So is that rumor true? I'm a sucker.
You want to keep the money for yourself, you're a sucker.
He's still going.
Fuck that sucker. Nobody made it. Look money for yourself? You're a sucker. Yeah, he's still going. All for himself. He's still going.
Suck the fuck, that sucker.
Nobody made it.
Right.
Look at Mace.
Mace got a Bible open.
Wait, wait, hold on.
Let's just stay focused.
Look at motherfucking Sean.
Stop, stop. Sean is Jewish now.
Oh, my God.
Motherfucker.
It's all fucked up.
Don't trust me.
Take my...
Go check.
Go fact check this shit

I'm going to sponsor some shit.
We're going to be able to do some good things.
That's a real CEO.

I was playing games with the kid, man.
My oldest son is really his mother's kid.
Because I haven't spoken to him in almost five years.
God bless him.
We're going to make this relationship right.
His birthday is October 13th, so he's got 14 months of child support left.
I think he's going to want to talk to me.
I think Denny's going to want to talk to me.
It got awkward for us, but God bless.
I'm not sure how much I want to talk.
We don't want to talk about that part.
We want to talk then.
Because it's hard for me to separate him from any other nigga.
He's gone.
He's coming for just once a week.
You see what I'm saying?
Because he had the urge to talk to me for five years already.
Okay, let's talk about Summer Jam.
We don't want to talk about the kids.
But that's why Summer Jam happened.
That's right.
But that's why Summer Jam happened.
Because 100% that.
Because you on Slow was cool, right?
Slow was cool.
You know, he come from me.
He came from around.
That's why it's so easy to get around these other people.
But check this out.
If you go...
When a guy does that, like...
It's too cool to be a little 50 to not be that.
So you got to keep confirmation that you being that
by keeping relationships with people who were around.
You know what I'm saying?
Like when you were coming up.
Like, for homie, he still communicates with everybody else. He just stays away from me. You see what I'm saying? Because you were coming up Right For homie Like he still communicates With everybody else
Right
He just stays away from me
You see what I'm saying
Because his mother
Like for whatever reason
So I'm gonna
I've been with his mother
For a long time
No we don't want to
We want to talk about
Just the
No this is how it happened
Like I've been with his mother
For a long time
But
Right
At what point did you develop
Your independent thinking man
Right
You know he's 20 years old now
You know
That's your thoughts too now
This is the way you feel too I accept that And I'm away from it in the thinking, man. Right. You know, he's 20 years old now. You know, that's your thoughts too now.
This is the way you feel too.
I accept that and I move away from it.
So I'll say I have one kid
because I have a three-year-old kid
that responds to me
and is happy as hell
every time he sees me
jump up and down.
That's my son.
Right.
The other kid,
that's his mother's kid.
Right.
So, I mean,
when you pray for success,
you don't pray for entitlement.
You don't pray for envy. You don't pray for entitlement. You don't pray for envy.
You don't pray for jealousy.
But common sense says when you get it, if you do receive enough success, you're going to receive those other energies that are going to come.
And it's going to move people that are close to you, circle from around you, because they're going to start to feel that entitlement because they're so close to you.
You bought him a car.
They say, but you could have bought me a house, man.
Look how much money you made. You've bought me a house, man, look how much money
you made.
You bought me a small house,
man,
you paid 1.2 for this shit,
you could've bought me
one for this much.
You know,
and it's never enough
if there's that
entitlement there
and,
I mean,
I don't,
some people's entitlements
can't be met.
Right.
Because they feel like
they actually
created you.
If they were around you prior to the success,
they look at it like,
he wouldn't even be that if this didn't happen.
You know what I'm saying?
And I'm like,
what the fuck are you talking about?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it doesn't really,
it never translates to the person
that's actually working for everything
that you see happen.
You know, so with me,
I look, like, I do have complex situations that go on person is actually working for everything that you see happen you know so it with me i look like
i do have complex situations that go on in my personal life but i don't mind it being a public
situation because it's i mean every other mess that i'm involved in is public so it's you know
it's cool for it to be that okay people can judge so um 50 man because your people told me you got
to go man so i just want to be clear before you walk out the building.
You're definitely going to do that verse, right?
