Starting point is 00:14:19 So, you know, the back of the days and the Boulevard of Linden was kind of like that throwback, you know, that back and forth type shit, just within that whole tradition of emceeing, so that that's really what that came up with.
Starting point is 00:14:34 You know, we just stick it to the roots, really. Yo, I'm gonna be honest, man. You guys, if it wasn't for you, I'm gonna be honest. And this is, this, this is how real it is. I want everybody to pay attention and listen to what I'm about to say. in a lot of ways
Starting point is 00:14:52 I wouldn't have been who I was if it wasn't for Farrell Right, right, right No shit A lot of people give me credit For real, but a lot of people don't... You did, right, right, right, right. But what a lot of people don't know is
Starting point is 00:15:04 I was eager and I was strong enough to listen to this guy Right, right, right, right, right. And to see it, but Farrell is a direct descendant of tribe. Direct. Right, right, right. He's a direct child. Literally.
Starting point is 00:15:16 He says it, too. Like, like, he's your stepson. Yeah, right. You don't remember, he was, he was supposed to be on Beach around the line. Come on, go, go talk to the bike. Yeah, he was, um, got a first, um... Nine, on Mid-Name Moradis, actually. But then he came back for Beats, when Tammy did, um, once again.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah. I coached him through the joint on Battery. Yeah, the first joint, though, with, um, that, with Farrell was, uh, Mid-N-N-N-N-N-N-A-Maris. The crazy story about Farrell and all those dudes was, We used to do shows, like, so back in the day, right? It's almost, you know, you just take me to the essence, my nigga, so I'm just got to keep it a buck in here. Oh, man, we're going to be.
Starting point is 00:15:59 You know, back then, right, when you was in New York rap group, you'd hit the circuit. The chilling circuit, the beat up, you tap it, you know, Connecticut or whatever. Like, if it was a weekend, you'd probably do a couple joints in Connecticut, boom, you hit Jersey, then you hit the joint in New York. You could literally do, like, eight fucking shows. in one night, right? So the extension of that was the 95 shit. You hit the V-A. She, the DMV shit, the Carolina's and all that shit.
Starting point is 00:16:29 So we was heavy down there back then, so we'd always be like in D.C. VA area. And Farrell would be at the shows. Backstage with motherfucking costume jewelry on and shit. Big-ass boots and all that shit. Let's be backstage. I'm a motion. I'm a motion.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I'm a motion. Him and Tama Likis. And we were like, y'all, I was like, I was like, I was like, you, come through the studio. So it would be a bunch of these dudes that would come to the studio. He would be one of them that would come to the studio and shit. No, he would come from V-A-2 New York. He just started working with Teddy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Teddy Riley. Because on the law, a lot of people don't know that he goes to produce. Rumshaker. Rumshaker. Rumshaker. Rumshaker. Yeah, yeah. So he was like on a come-up with all that shit.

And then rehearsed your shit. And then he came out and he didn't know the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Am I correct? Was that, Lupe? Yeah. And I was so offended. I was so offended. Because he said, well, I really wasn't a fan of tribe. Stop his slime. Slime your whole style of tribe.

Starting point is 00:24:47 but the sentiment of it was like, yo, I ain't never mean no offense, you know that. O.J., I probably fucked him. I was like, it's all good, brother. He's like, I never came up on y'all. I came up on Spice 1, and I came up on, he was mad, ratchet shit. I was like, okay, I did. You know why?
Starting point is 00:25:01 You know why? Because I'm going to take a man for his bird when he said to me initially. I'm not going to give him a demer. I'm not going to give him a demurial. because he ain't never really did nothing to me personally or otherwise for me to think so I took his word for right so he's a young boy at the time
Starting point is 00:25:16 so I'm just, we're talking and you up Lupe so he said at one point in the conversation he's like I see you try to teach me he laughed and we both had a little laugh you know about it and it was just always always cool with bro
Starting point is 00:25:31 it was never was a problem but we spoke about it and he came up off of it and shouts out to Lupe big up Lupe man because I was mad at you that big you up but let me just tell you something the beautifulness about your album this new album
Starting point is 00:25:46 is when I heard it I heard where Kanye got his shit from I heard with Ferrell got his shit from I heard where Noriega got his shit from I heard where Mara deep got his shit from I heard Renaz

Starting point is 00:26:44 And I just want to thank you guys For raising us in hip hop. Straight up. You know what I'm saying? A tribe called Quest. People who Who don't know I feel sorry for them. But people who do know, we need to celebrate y'all. Not just today,
Starting point is 00:27:04 but every day. Every day we need to sit back and say what the tribe did for the culture and the community is, is, is nobody, no, no, is this, there's no other group that, so this is, is this the last tribe called Cress album? Because the fact that Fife is not here, Western Peace Fight. I mean, it's just, we, I guess we still kind of like, you know, you can't even really think about another tribe without that man, you know what I mean. like that shit would have to be something else totally different you know what I'm saying because that man is just like he was the motor yeah why yeah absolutely I feel like I feel like you want to talk go ahead oh no you're like nah you know uh shit I miss my dude like you know what I'm saying and um like for him like at the same time I'm so fucking proud dude because the fucking
Starting point is 00:28:02 way that he went out my jeet right my nigger went out on top my nigga went out on top and how spazzing and having fun. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just funny because a lot of this shit we're talking about. It's real and it's kind of dark and shit. Right. But at the same time, it's not, this shit don't sound oppressive. It could be a downer, like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:22 But this shit's still, like, you know what I'm saying? Right. And Fife being the nigger that he was, is a big part of the reason the tone was so like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like it is. A fan hit me on Twitter the other day, and they heard it all. Bo knows this And Bo knows that We're both don't know that
