Cool! hip-hop definitely definitely what we're doing is running for mayor South Beach right now we just want to have fun we want to integrate South Beach and you

know let everybody have pizza South Beach now is mayor of South Beach different from running for mayor of Miami yes it's kind of weird it's different when I was like you running for the mayor of Queens kind of like that yeah okay Miami Beach or South Beach South Beach is the place where everyone goes like the central booking for people out of town is when they come they land in South Beach and then you stay there then you move to either Opel Oca then you move to Miramar then you move to either Opel Aca then you move to Miramar then you move to Homestead but South Beach is where out of towners come and they sit down and that's like the arm the holding pin for them you know definitely so we're gonna run for me out there because we're opening

the whole venue out there it's a serious bid this is a serious bid this is a serious bid we're going hard we taking sponsors we doing everything we're going I mean hopefully I'm'm can't do it debates in the hole. This is a man debates in the hole now Donald Trump did one thing He turned policies to a smack Can motherfucking run for mayor of South Beach God damn it legalize weed we're gonna try to figure We're gonna try to figure out. Hold on. You stop with that. Hold on. That's the first issue for you.

That's all I want. I'm only supporting you because you're gonna legalize weed. We're gonna try to legalize topless dancing, topless walking on the beach. That's secondary to me. Look at that. That's secondary to me. When it comes to the weed, we're definitely gonna look into it. We're gonna try to change South Beach.

Let's make some noise for Les Vanellis. I might quite possibly have the Mayum South Beach Number Twin. Make yourself useful. Where's the bottle of Sarak that we're using that's open? All right, cool. Shout out to Sarak. Yeah, come on. I'm talking shit.

But is it just South Beach or all Miami Beach? South Beach. South Beach. They're their own city now? They're their own city. South Beach, yes. How long has that been? That's how it works.

I didn't even know that, man. So North Beach and South Beach completely separated when it comes to that. Okay. So what was the process for you to actually put yourself on the battle? The process is we sit there. We were going through, we actually started because we were building a nightclub over there. We're building a King of Diamonds slash VLive

on Ocean Drive. VLive from Houston, correct? Definitely. VLive, they're like the young brand coming up. They're good. They deal with a lot of entertainers, a lot of dancers. We felt- Drake just shot his video there for Child's Play. Oh, there you go.

And we felt that they were up and coming. And we felt like King of Diamonds was like the brand that we kind of, we kind of branded and built. We felt like we were the LeBron James and they were like the Steve Curry, you know? But not saying that since LeBron wanted that we're better than them. They're like the up and coming.

They're the future. So instead of them taking us out, we just blend in and combine together. Now is there a beat for King of Diamonds at all? Like when you're on King of Diamonds? No, I mean it just happens. It was like, we own the brand name over there, so now we just moving our talents to South Beach.

That's all it is. That's expensive. That sounds expensive. Pretty much. When we got to South Beach, everybody out there was petitioning against us, and we didn't understand what was happening. No, not at all.

When you say everyone, you know I'm a tribe. We tried to get this nigga high for 25 years. Let's make some noise for me, try to get him high. Come on, come on. Come on, man. Who's everyone, who's everyone? Everyone, everyone on South Beach. The older people in South Beach,

when I sat there at the meeting, and then I was wondering, like we're the first black-owned business on Ocean Drive that ever happened. So 35 years ago, black people weren't even allowed on Ocean Drive. Like for you to go to Ocean Drive, you have to have a card signed by the captain of the police, the chief of police had to sign and at 8 p.m. all black people had to be off the beach. Like it's pervert to be off the beach.

35 years ago, just 35 short years ago. They had signs saying no coons, no kites, no dogs, no nothing, 35 years ago on the beach. So when I went to this meeting, everybody there was like 60 years old. And I realized it wasn't about king of diamonds on the beach, it was about we're the only black-owned stuff on the beach. And then there was no one there to represent us, I felt and I figured hey let's give it a

shot. We did an integrated. We slipped in, we bought a building and that's what it is and we're doing nothing different from what Mangos is doing, from what Cleveland is doing. This is on 13th and Ocean. Let's big that up god damn it. 13th and Ocean baby. Did you hear what he said though? You said 35 years ago, right? 35 years. But I'm 41, that wasn't that long ago. That's what I'm saying. A lot of people don't know that, it wasn't that long ago. So with South Beach, we're here to try to integrate it right now and have fun.

When we got the urban life out there, it's big. When you go to Mangos, you go to Wet Willie's, you see a lot of blacks just over there. And they spend their money, but there's no place where you can get hip hop music. There's no place where you can get soulful guys. Are you gonna have a secretary of stripper? We got like, you know how they say secretary of defense? Yeah, you have a secretary of getting butt-naked. Definitely. We probably we're probably gonna try to elect Luke Skywalker Is there a vice mayor? We're going to try to do everything.

We're going to make it as we go. You and Luke. Definitely. That would be crazy, man. That would be crazy, you and Luke. So what made you so all right, so when you see them acting funny, is that what sparked the idea for you to run for mayor?

That's what sparked it because I felt it was like a modern day lynching. Everyone is there saying, we don't want this here. We don't want nudity. We was charged with a crime that we didn't even commit. We didn't even open. When you go to Mango's and you go to Cleveland, and I love those places.

I see girls with body paint on, dancing and stripping. The thing that got me alert was when I looked into the numbers, Mango's is making $30 million a year. And all they did was clean their act up. They just took the smut out of it. It's kind of like back in the days you would watch the rapper. Like you can't see straight pussy but you can see thong. You can have great imagination when you're there.

You know it's still fists in the air hitting pelvis which is a hump at the end of the day. You know? So when you see it I was like wow and they're making $30 million a year doing this. And we're on the other side of the bridge going hard. We're breaking sweat. we got everything coming out of every girl's ear and all that. So it was like, damn, I said, yo, let's just try to clean it up and try to get a piece

of that money right there. When we tried to do that, that was the problem. They offered me like a million dollars to pack up and leave, you know, but I kept it real. I told them bring it in cash and I'll go. Yeah. Who offered that? The people. The people. The man. The man.

The people that Khalid talk about. So, now, what was your first strip club? Damn, you know. It wasn't hush. No, it was a place in Medallia's in Manhattan, 38th Street that I had with a friend of mine named F. It was a little hole in the wall. It was great. Was that the spot off the Lincoln Tunnel when you get out the Lincoln Tunnel? Right, right. When you get out the Lincoln Tunnel, you go upstairs. It was great.

The girls looked beautiful. Go downstairs. Yeah, girls looked beautiful. Bullet holes, everything. You had the bullet holes tripping at the time. I felt sorry for them. I felt sorry for them. This was like 1996 1996 around that era.

So now that was your first strip club. What made you, now what made you get into the strip club business initially, period? Like, you know, here you are, you're a established rap boy, you've done, you had major deals, you've done, had major hits, what makes you say I'm gonna sell pussy without selling pussy? When I was coming up, I was making my first album was titled Vagina Diner.

That's a fact, that's big to know it. So that was the first album. The first album was titled Vagina Diner, so it was always about sex for me, it was always an angle coming out. That was like, I believe, 1991. So he's the original Horny Montana. Yes, there we go. I like that. I'm taking that.

So when that album came out, it wasn't no internet. It wasn't no radio. It wasn't no daytime radio for me. I lived in strip clubs. My songs just played in there. They broke in there. For me to break a record, I would have to stay on the road for approximately two years for one song to

get out and I went from strip club to strip club to strip club I used to run with a friend of mine she was in porn her name was Heather Hunter back then Make some noise for her Heather Hunter The friend Heather Hunter she was like yo open a strip club and I opened one and I couldn't believe what it was and We have it and it was life imitating art, you know All right, that's what it was. You also put Heather Hunter on my record. Remember I wanted her on my record Yeah, yeah, yeah, Heather Hunter was beautiful. It's a fact You know they reached out somebody reached out for Heather to be on the show. Heather Hunter she more than welcome

God damn it. We need to know how you do it. How you do it? God damn it. God damn it. How you do it? Because she's still looking young. She's strong. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Heather is beautiful. Heather is beautiful. When I sit with Heather being Heather used to ride and we used to just talk about fuck. I was like, so who's your fuck? You know, and she would just go in. She was just whoever. No, no, no. Heather, Heather.

You know we got to get to that story. That's a beautiful story. That get to that story. That's a good story. We got to it. I'm here all night. Don't worry. So, okay, now, how does, alright, cool. So, what year was you signed to Interscope Records?

Signed to Interscope Records, I believe, in 1990. 90, okay. Now, this is after Live at the Barbecue? After Live at the Barbecue. After Live at the Barbecue. Epic. In the Scope Records. Right, because the thing was in Queens, there was two guys coming from Queens,

there was a guy named Lars Professor, and then it was two guys that he was kind of bringing out, and he introduced the world to on Live at the Barbecue, which is hands down one of my favorite hip hop records. People think that I say that because I have somebody on there from left rack. But regardless of you being from left rack and being my childhood friend, that was just one of the illest records of that time. Right.

So how did that record come together, Live at the Barbecue? It came with my man Lars Professor. We used to go to school together, but he used to rap. And we was like, yo, come to the studio one day then he introduced me to arm a young kid in there and the kid was kind of dope kid was like 16 years old name was Nas at the time so it was like a professor introduced you to the last professor introduced me to Nas. Nas was like 16 years old and we just rhyming in there going back and forth you know Nas was like I'm gonna make it one day I'm gonna make it one

day that's funny we used to ride the train every day together Me and Nas just walked for hours Just walked for hours through the city You know and um it was funny even when Nas getting his deal originally Nas had decided to like stop rapping He was like yo, I got a half pound of weed. I'm gonna go down south What? He said listen listen son I'm going in son I'm going in,

I'm going in, we're gonna start early. We're gonna start early. We're gonna start early. Nas was like, yo. He got a half pound of weed. He was like, I'm gonna go to half pound, I'm going down south to sell it. And I was like, really?

He was like, word. I was like, fuck it. He was like, this rap shit ain't working. And we was walking and we bounced in. Now what time period is this? This is after Live at the Barbecue or before? Just like right before Live at the Barbecue. He's still 16. He's still there running.

Now, this is what came out first, because I want you to finish this story and the people will kill me. But they will. Yeah. Back to the grill again or Live at the Barbecue? Live at the Barbecue. Live at the Barbecue. Live at the Barbecue.

Okay, now continue. So he said he's going down south. He's going down south. He's going to try it. I'm like, word. So then when we was walking around, I used to take him everywhere. I would took him to, I took him to Russell Simmons. I was like, this is my man. So you saw it already?

Yeah this was my man we was going. From the day in Lawson's Professor crib? From the Lawson's Professor I was like yo we used to rhyme every night I said took him to Russell Simmons yo this is my man he rhymes he's dope. Russell's like nah he's weak. Nooooo. He was going by Nasty Nas. Yeah Nasty Nas he was like nah it's not it I don't feel it I don't feel it. I don't feel it. We was in a dude, another DJ. Back in the days, his name was Clark Kenton. Real good.

Took him to Clark. Clark loved it. Legendary DJ. Clark understood it. Clark always got music. But Clark was like, at the time, he couldn't do it, because I don't think Sylvia was allowing him. He was doing, I believe, Atlantic at that time.

One of those labels He couldn't do it so then me and I were walking and I was like fuck it I said I'm out of here we bounced in a stretch Armstrong back then stretch was like come to the studio when we got to the studio we bounced in the MC search and um We did the song up there back to the grill. I was on it with him This was after barbecue. I was on it with him back to yeah, but it didn't come out Original version It went on the deal was a fucked up deal he was like yo, I will play the acapella. Then from there, it went on.

The deal was a fucked up deal. He was like, yo, I'ma sign this deal. It's fucked up. I was like, fuck it. You dead already. We got to lose. And then he signed, and then he took off. And that was it from there.

This is Search Life. Yes. Then we hit live at the Barbecue Alarm Professor. And then we just took off from there running. But I was always on sex. Sex sales. And then you just took off from there running, but I was always on sex Sex sells right and then you also developed this Right how did that come on um that was just back in the days just having fun when you was coming up back Then you have to have style you have to have like a whole a whole lane to arm Make yourself stand out from everyone else, so that's what it was and then for me I was real competitive

It was like when you make records you compete then I seen the lane It was like for me I felt like yo go to sex route and on back then everyone's like ah man you selling out but of like Today I outlived all of my peers who was out there, you know, so it's like I still love the red mans I still love the buckshot shorties. I still talk to the Lord finesses, you know? But it's like sex is universal, everybody wants to learn about it, everybody wants to grow about it, you know? It's timeless, it's like some other young kid says, yo, I seen put it in your mouth

for the first time, I heard it, I experienced it. White girls, I see it in your mouth. White girls, Asian girls, like I used to run around when I was younger and it was like you would just get head just for spite. Not cause you deserved it. Just for spite. Just like, come here. You brought me on tour one time. Yes. You had your dancers.

You had female dancers and male dancers, but not strippers. I mean like scuba scrap style. Right. You know what I'm saying? And then you had the females come out with a banana show. Like you used to do- A banana show? Like yeah, it was a banana show.

A banana show? Yeah, they were down the tunnel, too. It was like the finale. We came out, it was hip hop. We had DJ, we had Rob Swift, who was dope. Incredible DJ. And he was cuttin' up, and he was doin' what he was doin'. And then Norrie, we used to bring Norrie with us.

I'm gonna get into the Norrie story, too. It was good. Is this the nipple story?

So Ah, you had this show and let me tell you, this is one thing that you taught me, right? I can remember we were somewhere on the road and they were trying to debate whether you would go first or this guy would go first. Who's the guy? I don't remember. Say his name.

I would definitely say it. Say his name. But I remember you saying, I don't give a fuck, I'll go first. And I remember looking at you like you were crazy. I do know this guy's records, I forget who it was. But you came on and destroyed it and went on first. And ever since then, I was like, ever since then, I was like, it don't matter where I go now.

Like, I would just go and I'll just do a better show if I go on first because I want them, so I remember there was a Puerto Rican Day Parade, it was a black artist, I won't say his name, I don't remember. But I do remember. This is my own shit. And I remember me hearing him saying to the promoter,

like, yo, no, no, let Norrie go on first. I don't see it go away, and I remember him me hearing him saying to the promoter like yo um No, no let nori go on first, and I remember that daddy ain't yet Just text me or whatever it was I mean daddy ain't you guys for me they've erased. I'm cheating definitely I go on first immediately boom hit text daddy Yankee text me the sky text fat Joe They all came in and I did it and then I had a mic I was like your turn. He's like But I had learned that from you because so many like back in the days it was dope for the MC to go last Right now nobody wants to go last right and back Then it was dope for the MC to go last on the stage, right?

But you like kind of invented, I don't give a fuck when I go, I'ma smash everything to Smith and Wayne. My thing was, the bigger the artist we wanted to go before him and just set the bar, my shit was like, fuck the show, we gonna go right to put it in your mouth, we gonna get somebody dick sucked, how they gonna top that? I don't give a fuck what record they going. It's a wrap after that.

Let me see, I would just go out on the stage like, the record won't even play. It'd be like, who want they dicks up? We can't, this is a big dog back here. I had no time. I came to hear his records too. Let's get somebody dicks up and let's get out of here. Let's do this. You, come on.

Get getting dicks up. You play, put it in your mouth. We go, get his take, hold on, stop the music, take his clothes off, get his dicks up, and then let's do it, we're gonna go back to this show with this big dog artist,

so everybody pay for it. I remember going no matter where we went, and his show was memorable. I don't give a fuck. And at the time, it was- Of course that's memorable, right, that's true. No, I'm talking about, I'm talking about, I'm talking about everybody had to stop.

And at the time, other people got like 10 records on the top 10. He had just had Put It In Your Mouth. Right. And that was the grand finale. And everything build up to that moment. And then when Put It In Your Mouth came on, it was girls doing shows with bananas.

It wasn't like It wasn't like those some dump like if you loved hip-hop you wasn't disappointed But you also got turned on maybe a little bit like oh shit. This bitch just swallowed a banana like We should talk afterwards And it's like you would go through different states and we just find random girls. And it was like for us, it was hip hop era.

It was the era of the DJ where you would stop and let the DJ actually do his turntables. It was the era where you would sit there and rhyme. You have to look everybody in their face, word for word and go for it and connect with the audience. That's what it was. And then after putting it in your mouth, right, you had this record. Girl, would you fuck me for free? Yes, crazy record. Complexion right? Complexion, big up to KC Smoke. Even Demone man, I ain't seen

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.

In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

It like, it reflects them too. So they feel like we didn't lose, you know? It's like, it's like the dude who's locked up forever. He calls you and say, we didn't lose. You know, we did it. Yeah, still relevant. We did it, da da da. And then, and that's what it is.

A friend of mine, it's funny. One of my friends, he's locked up. He'd been locked up for, his name is Twin. He's been locked up for probably, I thought you were going to say Twin. No, no, no, lock up. We got both Twins, what's up? Right, right, he's a shy ass nigga.

Look at this nigga over there. Right, right, right. He's been locked up for years, but it was like when he heard the record, he called me 17 years ago. He was like, yo, remember we voted that record for us? We did it. And that shit meant a lot. And he's in there like, we did it. that record for us. We did it and that shit meant a lot and he's in there like we did it

Drake is doing it. All right, who is Drake? You know, I'm like they They sampled the beast or they just sampled the concept the concept with example the hook, right? Yeah, they would have to pay for that Now do you like own the publishing on that? Yeah No, never. Never sold the publishing. That's why you're buying clubs out here. Let's make some noise for Niggas.

Let's go. You still get checks out here? Still pumping for free checks? Oh, yes. Yeah. Yo, I was mad at Trash for selling my publishing, but then I got up and then I sold my publishing again. So I'm sorry, Trash, for ever being mad at you, god damn it,

because I was selling my re- You refinanced your publishing? Yeah, I did it like four times, man. Right. Listen, if you're wondering about my publishing now, man, I'm selling drink chance publishing. I don't even think we got any drink chance, but fuck it, I'm selling them, god damn it.

This makes a noise for keeping it real, though, god damn it. Whoa! So, and now, now, here's a big thing with me. Right. The big thing with me is I loved the phone call prior to them throwing it out. I loved the phone call prior to remaking the actual record. But it's like, then hearing the actual record,

that's a big part for me. When you heard it, was it like, yeah, they did it justice? Or was you like, oh, I would have did it a little bit different. How did you feel about that? I just appreciated it. When you are artists and you go hard and you grind, you learn to find the best out of everybody.

And you learn to find the best out of every artist. So you appreciate it. And you appreciate the fun that he's having on the record. And they're going. And the concept is still carrying on the same tradition. Right, and so you're fully satisfied. Fully satisfied. That was dope, they asked them,

who do you want or who would you see on this record? I think that's dope. They knew I was rich, they knew I was rich. They offered him, they knew he was gonna say no. God damn it, make some noise. God damn it. So, Ah. Yes.

We did the Fuck Me For Free, we did all of them. Right. Back in the days, I heard, the first time I heard Q-Tip was in Left Rack. Right. Was when he was with you. Right. Like, what was, was Q-Tip working on your first album?

Nah, Q-Tip was friends with large professor, you know? So, large professor would always come Nah, Q-Tip was friends with large professors, you know? So large professor would always come around with Q-Tip and we'll hook up from time to time. And Q-Tip was always good. I like, I love Fife. I love their energy on the show. God bless them. I never did no music with them,

but it was like the respect was always there because it's like we'll go and we'll have fun on that stage and whenever we're at a stage, we'll just really lay it down and go hard with it. Right. Yes. Now, what was it, because you're one of them very like seldom people, like very elite people that had a relationship with not only Nas, right, you had a relationship with Big, right, you had a, and even with Jay. Even while Jay and I, we might come back to it. Even while Jay and I was beefing.

Right. But, let's break down your relationship with Biggie Smalls first. Big, we met in Brooklyn. And we met at, a friend of mine, Phil Pabon had a party out there. Phil Pabon, from Black Frac again. That's right.

We moved to Brooklyn and me and Big was just rhyming. Phil Pab born used to run P&B Post No Bills cold in like correct correct Bills, yeah, I'm hip-hop too man My beard is great. I just ain't let it grow out. Yeah. Yeah, so you would do that I met him out there me and big we would just rhyme we sat there and then for me It was a cyphers with it was it was it was, him, and it was a guy named Adolf the Assassin Yeah Uh-uh, uh-uh So we was all there

Aguilar, Aguilar Big of Aguilar It was good Yeah So we was there going at it, you know, and we sat there for like an hour And it was like, it was competitive It was like when, I never felt like I made music I felt like I was competing, you know, it's like you just compete with whoever.

And Biggie looked at me and was like, yo, I was like, yeah, I like the record. And he was like, you know you're the competition, right? I'm here to kill you. I was like, shit. What? All right. All right.

Wait, this is your first time speaking to him? Yeah, this is like after we cool. I'm like, I call him. I'm like, yo, what's up, man? Let's hook up, man. Let me get the record. He's like, yeah, yeah. You know you're the competition, right? I gotta crush you. I'm him, I'm like yo what's up man let's hook up man let me get the record. He's like yeah yeah you know you the competition right I gotta crush you I'm like fuck it. Now what era of big is this? This is party and bullshit? This is party and bullshit. This is that era. Like that record is out. This was that era.

This is when I realized oh this shit is real. It's like it's told you to your face. Yeah face And then after that, you know when I see the movie just like what up man But then after that we got real cool, you know, and um loved them with Jay Jay, um because um, some of my I sent out a flyer the other day. I think I texted to you and This is definitely component of the show like first or second or third show and then It was Jay-Z Aconelli right and then us like we were like the super opening acts right and you bit that was the what?

97 is a game seven. Yeah You been you been with Jay since then. Yeah, me and Jay-Z, it was cool. Was it original flavor era? Yeah. No, they didn't cut across. Right, yeah, this was original flavor time. Jay-Z used to run with original flavor. So it was cool, we was always cool.

Every time I seen Jay-Z, you know, that biggie shit stuck in my head. So I'm like, this is the competition. So Jay-Z would be, I would see Jay-Z at skating rings at this place called the ring. You sure? I'm good. I would see Jay-Z at skating rings and we'll sit there and we'll just rhyme to each other for a minute you know yes time after time you know we'll just go at it you know going with each other and then you know after that we became friends and then um we used to it was funny because I met Jay-Z

with Jazz Jazz on Jazz, Jazz-O. Okay. So he was with Jazz-O so they were signed to Wild Pitch so me and Nas was with Large Professor. Now Wild Pitch records. Okay okay. So now when we used to tour together. OC was on Wild Pitch. Yeah OC, bigger OC. Correct so we went out on the tour together with Wild Pitch records with Large professor and Jay-z was with jazz So main source was it main source? That's the last professor main source. This is real hit. Yeah, so now when we on the tour But this wasn't even Jay's rhyming like I showed him lies my his first tech. I was large professor You know what he's talking about when we on the road

Right talking about when we're on the road. So you was, wait, time out. Me, Nas, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, time out, time out, time out. You're not going to slip that, you're not going to slip that bias. Okay, okay, all right, so on tour, because I heard this story is true. Yes. I heard Jay actually had a tech. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On tour.

Yeah. Yes. So we used to be on tour me Nas Jay, so we was Because they never said it was a tour with you Nas and Jay you said it was it was it was Lars professor and jazz For me jazz was Jay-Z was with jazz and me and Nas Sophie we were singing We were singing live at the barbecue so every night, you know, we got good. Me and Nas, our per diem was like $10 a day.

So we got $10 and we had to split it. So we would go get- Was Nas buying dime bags? No, he was nickel bags. Nickel bags? Was nickel bags popping back then? Nickel bags of wheat, some cheese, some turkey, some bread, and that was it.

From the hockey. And weed was on the road. That was our podium, $10 a day. So we did it, and we sat on there, and we was like, yo, we gonna go. Now, come on, hockey was $10 a day. $10, I'm telling you. Who's the headliner on this team?

It had to be 25, come on. Large professor, main source. Main source of the headliner. Main source of the headliner. So then, at that point, we all bonded. So when we bonded bonded we was like, yo, whoever makes it first, gotta drag the other person.

So then eventually Nas was the one who broke out first. So me and Jay felt like, yo, this dude is going. Who's AZ, who's Foxy, who are these people? Like yeah, they're the firm, they're moving. So then me and Jay got real cool. So when me and Jay-Z got cool, every night we would go out on the road together. He would sing, ain't no nigga.

I sing, put it in your mouth. We're going stage together every night. Oh my God. So we would practice shows together every night, every night. Me and him, Dame Dash hit the stage every night. So we'll do it. We'll do it. Jazz-O, but this after Jazz-O now.

Now you know, Nas is wrecking. Now we get to originate it with Jay-Z at that point. Then Jay-Z starts taking off. So when Jay-Z starts taking off, it gets weird now. But this after jazz on that now Jay-z starts taking off so when Jay-z starts taking off it gets weird now, you know me and Jay we're in a different place I'm like it was a cappella and Rockefeller record. So we were we were going Right so at that point at that point Jay-z got to a point where he got real big. Me and Niles was always best friends. You know, we from Law of Professor. So with Jay-Z, I was like, it was to the point where Jay was so big that when you have to put a record out,

you have to go to Jay, like, I'm going to put a record out in October. Is it cool? He's like, yeah, all right. You know? And I was like, yo, Jay, this isn't right. You got this number one spot. This isn't right, man.

And I felt the way. I'm like, yo, you over here. We is here even when I see him too when I see him I'm like son let me hold something what are we talking about that they don't then I'm so with Jay and us we would always hit the road we would go and that's how that got started. Alright, so now, you know these guys, maybe you sense the animosity because one was with, you said, y'all was with Lars Professor and they were with? Jazzo.

Jazzo, they were with Jazzo. Right. Oh, I thought you said they was with Clark Kent, I don't know why I thought that. Original flavor. Original flavor. Oh, I have Sophie and all that. So now, they both become

knives right will become Jay right now you hear about this beef brewing right what is your first oh for me when it's going down it's funny you know game dash when you listen to dame dame was like I can tell you started the whole beef you know at the whole beef you know. I swear to god if you wouldn't have said that I wouldn't have remembered it but as soon as you said it let's break this down why are we breaking another fucking news? So Dame always felt like I started the Nas and Jade beef because me and Jay and Dame was sitting in a room and we would be like, I would be like, yo, Jay, this isn't right. And he'd be like, what's not right?

I'm like, that you're all the way here and we're here. Like that doesn't make sense to me. What's going on? When you say we, who you talking about? Nas. Nas wasn't there like that. You know, Nas and Jay was moving. You know, and I'm like, this isn't right.

We got to add you and we got to, but we was all friends. Remember, we're baloney sandwiches. So, you know, I'm talking in a different angle. I'm like, this is a- We never knew they ate baloney sandwiches. I'm like, this isn't right. You all the way here and we're here. Like, this is crazy.

And then he was like, whatever. Then we got real cool. Then they went at each other. Then when they went at each other, me and Noms was always cool. So then- No, no, no, but my question, I'm sorry. Cause I want you to get through all of that. Right. But when it started- Don't you dare cut that off. Yeah, Dane. No, no, no, but my question, I'm sorry, because I want you to get through all of that. Right.

But when it started. Don't you dare cut that off. Yeah, but when it started, like, and Dane blamed you for that. Right. Why, what was that moment? I think Dane kind of blamed it because me and both of them was cool. Me and Nas came in it together.

Me and Jay kind of hitched up more because when Nas started blowing, it was me and Jay going, you know? And when me and Jay kind of hitched up more because when I started blowing it was me and Jay going, you know? And when me and Jay was going, when they caught their deal with Def Jam, I'm thinking, yo, a caffella, rockabella, what we doing? And it kind of got kind of different. So at that time, I went on with Jessica Rosenblum. So then we started our own stuff. Right. So it was pretty good. And then when they went through their turbulence, it's competitive, it's competitive, you know?

When they went through their turbulence, at that point me and Jay, we were, like Jay and them would always call me just for, Dame and Jay, it came to a point where they would just call me for bad news. They would be like, hey, it's me and Jay on the phone. You see that girl you were talking with last time, you know she got herpes, right?

What? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But that's our relationship. Oh, you know Elliot Wilson, Tray? Elliot Wilson, Elliot Wilson. Did you know Elliot Wilson? No, I don't know Elliot Wilson. God damn. Well, meet his Tray. You're not as much of a goat as you think you are.

So they would always call... They would always call for bad news. So it was like, it was like tension there with us, you know? So we would always have fun like that. And it's still competitive. To this day, like mentally in their mind, I'm looking at them like, it's like the shit, I'm like, yo, y'all won.

In their mind, they're competing still, whibby. Like, I'm like, look, y'all motherfuckers won. Like when I see Nas, Nas will call me, if it's bad news, I heard you in bankroll What's going on? I'm like, what's up son? How you doing? I did everything I know Everything I did everything I'm gonna sue by everybody. Oh, but we're back. We're running for mayor Yes, so so they get to this beat.

Right. In your mind, you're saying, these motherfuckers are going to work it out. Yeah, they did eventually. No, I'm saying in your mind. Of course. Of course I knew what it was. It was like it was competitiveness

with both of them. Nas was against the ropes bad at the beginning. Nas came back. Both of them were still come you know strong artists it's like different segments like Nas probably was stronger on record but on the show he wasn't stronger than it. It's like Rock Hem was stronger than Bismarck on a record but on a stage Bismarck would have tore Rock Hem up. So that's how it was it was like the arena so Nas was just able

to kind of get him in that arena and fortunately he was able to um make a difference. I ain't gonna lie, that was the ill, that nigga said it. I don't even know what he said. But it was hard. It was hard. That was hard. So now they work it out. Right. Dame, Dame ever, like, cause I did hear Dame say that. And you know what the crazy shit is? I sent Dame a clip of the 50 Cent interview.

And in the 50 Cent interview, obviously, you was sitting right there. Cause I wanted to show him that, you know, Dame, wherever you at, we rep for the Dusko Popperton. You know what I'm sayin'? And I sent him and he said, I can tell he's my nigga. Yes, yes.

Me and Dane, we used to run around everywhere. We used to talk. We used to, you know, Dane's really intelligent. I wish they would have worked it out, Dane and Jay, but you know what happens, you know? Probably one day we might get with Dane. Dane's really, really brilliant. Dane comes from the era like a Steve Stout.

Steve Stout used to, that's another guy who was competition with me. He would just be in my mother's another guy who was competition with me. He would just be in my mother's house playing Nintendo back in the day. Wait, in Sherwood? Yes. In Sherwood?

Steve Stout was in Sherwood. Yes, yes. Steve Stout, I apologize for everything I ever said to you, my brother. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I didn't know you was in Sherwood, Steve Stout. Yes. Please forgive me.

So it's like, it's like me and Dane, our relationship was really good. Dane was, he was a visionary. He knew how to think. He knew how to, he knew, Dame gave me the thing of you can do whatever you want. You know, Dame brought my, was with me by my first house. Like, get it.

I'm like, I can't afford this. He's like, get it, what the fuck, if you get it. You know how he feels. He's so ambitious. He's like, if you get it, you get in. If you don't get out, just move out. I was like, that sounds just like you, brother. Get in, you get in, just move out.

Home team, home team. When I came out here, the first person I met was Disco Rick, you know? And then he was doing what I was doing, bringing girls out on the stage. And I'm doing this from New York, 10 years. I bounced into Disco Rick and I'm like, damn, you know, I'm good. I bounced into Disco Rick. He did that when you were dancing in the bus.

I bounced into Disco Rick and I'm like, yo, and I'm realizing this guy's real good. So from that point there, we got in there, we did the whole King of Diamonds shit together. When we went to King of Diamonds it was called Crazy Horse. Me and him ate a steak in there and I was like look I said yo we can buy this building. Look at Miami niggas make noise for Miami niggas being horny. Crazy Horse. Yeah. So it was Crazy Horse.

So now I'm coming from the era of Dame Dash. I'm like, yo, we could get this building. He's like, where? I'm like, yo, we could get this building. So I went to Disco Rick. He's like, nah, we can't get this building. We went, had the meeting, put the money down, wham, turned it to King of Diamonds.

That's how it was invented over there. And that's how we got it. Then Disco Rick is like going on. And then you hear Disco Rick with his iconic ladies and gentlemen, welcome to King of Diamonds. And he goes hard. I'd like to show a lot of arm salute to Disco Rick. Yes. He's a Miami legend for sure. Definitely. When you was doing all the sex music though, you didn't have any influence of 2 Life Crew

and anything going on in Miami prior to that? I knew about 2 Life Crew. I knew about Luke. I watched them. I watched it go. but you know, it wasn't like- Because they were the first in hip-hop. Right, they were the first in hip-hop going at it. And then we just came with a whole different angle from it, from like an East Coast version. So me and Luke, it was like a short time we went on tour together, and then I realized the strength of their music. When I came to the South, you know, when I'm in Boston and Connecticut, I'm tearing them up. Soon as we crossed over to North Carolina,

that's when I had to get in and start studying their records. Like these motherfuckers is dancing fast. Like real fast. Yeah, real fast. We just met up with Quad. Of course. Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that

meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor? But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

So let me ask you, right? Yeah. You got notes? No, uh, you got notes? No, yeah, I do actually. Let me find out. Damn, you fucked me up.

Are you Googling? No, no, no, no, I ain't Googling shit. But no, because I wanted to big up my man and a lot of people don't know who he was. But back in the days in our hood, prior to it spreading through our Queens, like you were like a battle rapper. Like I remember it was a dude named Comedy from our hood. You remember Comedy?

Yes. Comedy, that's big old Comedy. Yes. I hope he was funny. Actually, no. Actually, he wasn't funny at all. Because he was like, I guess in the opposite of comedy. Right. Yeah, like, I mean, he was serious.

And I remember like he cut everybody in the hood. But one day we was in section two, it was the same place where E Moneybags, or no no no, Sheldon had shot, um here I talk God bless the day right all my brother but it's the same spot comedy had challenged you one day right and you had battle comedy like in a friendly battle right but you showed them like you how did you transition from battle rapper to actually um it was just you still compete you still compete then I had to just see a wide arranger How could I compete with all these it's like when it came to battling I loved it

I used to live for it even at night every night like on my phone. I would watch URL I will watch smack the DVD. I'm gonna go line for line with you. I'm gonna break the song down I'm gonna break the metaphor down. Till his day. Till his day right now. I watch it every night and I'll see it till his day. That's like my fun. That's like what I have fun doing. Back then, it was like you would sit there

with metaphors and you would go and you would challenge and it was like fight to the death. That's what it was about. That's what music was about, being competitive and trying to be number one and not number two, number three, just trying to be number one. not number two number three just trying to be number one and then When I bounced into it all making sex records, it was like how could I be competitive and still keep it? Metaphorically fun for everyone but is that how you like initially started like you started as a battle rapper?

I started I started When I started it was like battle rapping But then it was like battle rapping to be popular then it was like battle rapping to get Pussy and then it was like that's what I'm about pussy Yeah, like this is cool I'm right here and that's how that went now also see get a ring on. Yeah, who's that mean? I was married I was look look. This is a good story What does that mean? I was married.

I was, look, look, this is a good story. This is past tense words. I was, I'm well, damn, I think we still married. But it was like, Shit, you still got a briggle. Right, right, right. But this is a good story, it's a good story. I was in the, I'm in the strip game.

I'm in strip clubs. I met a girl in the strip club. You know, one day she held me down. We rolled out together, then she turned into my wife. You know? At first I would look at all the strippers as the hoes, sluts, and the bitches, but then I was loose when I was young.

Like I fought a lot of great STDs in my life, you know? So it was like, yes. It's like somebody's been fighting the STDs. Yeah. Yeah. So at that point there, and it was like, I was fucking more single ladies, more girls who was married, more girls,

it wasn't the strippers, the strippers wasn't the hoes. That's like one of the biggest myths out there, you know? It was the regular girl, it was the girl who worked in the doctor office, it was the girl who went to the local. The one living the lies. Yeah, the one living the lies. That burns.

Yes, all the time. And then all. Let's make some noise for the bitches that burnt you. Right, right, right. God damn it. So it was like, it's like with her, we met, we did it, we had fun, everybody's like, yo, how you marrying a stripper, how you doing this?

But at the end of the day, it was like, yo, this was the people who was here for me at the end. So it was like, and then if I'm in this game here, I might as well, it's like, I'm a circle, I realized I was a circle. Everybody else was L7, the letter L in seven is a square. So people are just squares, and they're in a square relationship.

I'm a circle, I'm gonna go different. So we did it, it was the time of our life and after that, it just didn't work one day but it's like, I'm married to the game still. Like I'm in the game, I deal, I live around it, I breathe and I eat it. Nothing changes for me and that's what it is. Are you sure you're not hard-working a little bit?

No, not at all. Because most men take their ring off, god damn it. Not at all. When you marry into what you love, you married her, the stripper, the gang. Then you're still in it. And this is what you love and this is what you represent. And you tell everybody that story

and then some people say, what if something happens to you? She inherits everything. I say, me and her ran through so many back streets. She deserves everything at the end of the day. So it's like, fuck it. Not to me. Yes.

But that's my nigga. That's my nigga. That's my nigga. If it's over, God damn it, it's over. God damn it, that's me. Cause I'm a petty nigga. I'm sorry. We established that I'm already petty, correct?

Yes, yes. All right, let's make some noise for me and Petty. Woo! I definitely know he's 100% a better man to me from that statement alone because if it's over goddamn it take everything All right. Listen, I'm an Indian giver. All right, I use it Listen why you with me is all love or doubt soon as you leave me, I don't even fucking know you. That's the type of guy I am, I'm sorry. And he a bit of the same type of guy.

He's the same type of guy. He's the investigated guy. He's trying to make me out to be serious. You've been that type of guy. Like, listen, why we together, you got the world, you got my world. But as soon as this is over, it's like, Fuck that bitch.

That's right, that's right, that's right. That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right, that's right on South Beach are called King of Diamonds V Live, like we're coming together. It's like Baskins of Robin and Dunkin' Donuts combining together. And we're gonna be on Ocean Drive there, and we're gonna try to shoot to make there 30 million dollars a year, just like the other Mangos, just like Cleveland, or just like Wet Willy, to compete with all the other surrounding clubs out there, and that's what we're doing.

And in the midst of that, we ran into a bump in the road, which alerted me to say, hey, I would like to be me. And then we want to have the most beautiful entertainers from all over the world working there. Each girl should bare minimum have 100,000 followers on her Instagram and even be there. We want it to be the best of the best. That's a definitely a modern criteria.

If you don't have that, it's like, then you got to be something special. Chaos is going to be there. Yes, chaos is definitely gonna be there. Charlie's interested in chaos, I can tell. I'm not gonna admit it. I'm gonna be honest. Yes.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't wanna be a part of your campaign. I wanna help support your campaign. Right. Because you know I shot niggas. You know that, right, Akalele? Yes, I do. Alright, so you know.

You don't wanna be a part of... That's in your past. Nah, he said that I could collect phone calls. Yes, Norrie used to be in jail. it. That's in your past. Nah, he's something about collect phone calls, man. Yes, Norrie used to be in jail. When he was young, and he was good, he was good. He would call me. I know it's a good story. I know I was dressed.

You didn't even see his face though, guy. It was good. Norrie would call me, and the phone would ring, and say, you have a collect call from Norrie, and this is like, you know, way back then. A poppy back there. Right, a poppy. I would accept the calls, he would, you know, way back then. A poppy back then. Right, he's a poppy. A poppy, OK. I would accept the calls. He would, you know, I'm competitive rhyming.

I love it. So I find the best of my own. Norrie's like, you know, he's high in his style. He's like, I'm like, cat, that, word up. All right. You like that, man? Yeah, so I would collect. I would accept Norrie's phone calls every day

and listen to his rhymes and all. And that's why when he came out, it was fun for me to say, yo, I'm bringing him on the road with us. Brought him on the road and then it was wild because I watched Norrie go, just like Jay-Z and them. I watched Norrie with what, what, what, what, what, all his records coming out.

And then it was like metamorphosis when we have a change where Norrie calls me up when they say, yo, you wanna come on the road with me And then I say please it's like it's like the road reverse first I was saying y'all I got somebody coming to stage his name is no real The Nori's reverse like I got someone coming to stage and he was laugh and then it was fun It was yes, but let me get back to bigger him on yes Because I just recently did a show with Doppalo. Right. And I literally, so I literally in my mind was like,

I'm gonna do this stage like I could do it. But with my music, like you know what I'm saying? And like that was something that you hands down taught me that the stage is everything. Right, right. Like, cause you gotta realize you had a hit everything. Right, right. Like, cause you gotta realize, you had a hit record that the radio couldn't really play at a certain time. Is that true?

Yes, it was true. And your whole thing was just based on your stage presence. You know? Ooh, think about it. When can they play Put It In Your Mouth? Right. That's fucked up. It's a fucked up song, even if you would grow people.

It wasn't. If you were a grown person who still thinking that's disrespectful. It wasn't no internet back then. It wasn't no nothing like that. It wasn't no. It's mixed tapes. Cause I put that mother fucker out there.

Right, right, right. And then here and there you'll hear it. So basically you have to go on the stage. You have to be able to do your shit on the stage in order for it to work. So it was like even with Norrie, I would watch him do the shows, and Norrie would come to all the shows with us

and watch it, and we would practice the shows. And it's funny, it's like, I'm 45 years old, so when I talk to girls, they don't know I'm on the stage at all, but it's cool. But it's like, I would also, when I'm booking artists at clubs now, I'm like, I'm able to look them in the face and say, son, you're not that hot, just relax,

like this shit is cool, we're like, take'm able to look them in the face and say, son, you're not that hot. Just relax, man. Like, this shit is cool. We're like, take this 10 grand and come on. And they understand it. Because they're like, they're artists as artists. So they understand, like, I know him. I follow his records. You know, I did a metaphor for metaphor with him.

So it was like, we would do the stage. I remember Noriega at Apollo one time, Apollo Theater. And I was like, this was when Noriega was Apollo one time, Apollo Theater. And I was like, this is when Norie was first really breaking. And I was like, look, man, somebody else big was on the show. But I know at that point there, I knew I was pretty strong too. So I said, I'm going to come with Norie. And mentally help him tear this shit up.

No, no, no. No, no. It was good money. We all fucked. You be humble. Listen, I was there drunk. And this is why I like sober people. You always got to have a sober friend, because a sober friend going to look at your monkey ass and be like, you fucked up.

But you don't know you can be here tonight. And I took over the whole show and made sure we killed that that night. I remember that. I remember that. I remember that. I remember that. And it was crazy because I come from the era that it wasn't stage performance. It was like, no it was stage performance too, but that was secondary. It was always about in the studio, but you came from the era right before me and stage performance and I always appreciate you for that. But continue. Definitely. So it was like when we go there I remember Nori and I'm like little fuck it We're gonna go help him and then we're gonna go make this shit good and we'll go and there was that two shows that night

And that's when I kind of seen him going to the whole other level that at one point nori got up here, too So then nori was he got on the jay-z. No, I was like me when Norrie would call me. Oh shit, okay. I'm not going in. He's cheating on me. I ain't got a chance. This is the way he's been down. It's funny, it's funny. Like me and Norrie, like it would be funny when we'll call each other. We would introduce each other like,

yo, let me hold something. So it would just stop the conversation. Let me stop this, let me stop this. One day I'm in the car with Ock. Listen, listen, listen. One day I'm hanging out with Ock. Ock is my motherfucking heart. And I'm be sitting and Ock. Listen, listen, listen. One day I'm hanging out with Ock. Ock is my motherfucking heart. And I'm sitting and Ock says to me,

yo watch this, this nigga's gonna ask me for money. Right? So he gets a phone call. I'm in the car with Ock. So he answers the phone, but it's on speaker. So he's like, yo what's going on? And then he looking at me and then Ock go, stop it.

And then the guy guy goes yo can I hold something so I said I crushed him he's like can I hold it I was like can I hold something? He says it right before he can say it and just then I was like I'm using that whenever I whenever I know somebody's calling me like yo what's going on can I sweep listen whenever somebody texts you and say yo I gotta holla at you it's like hold up what the fuck can't you holla at me when to text cuz sometimes a nigga just really be really busy and they're like no I gotta holla at you it's almost 90% of the time they gonna say let me all stop right right so soon as they do that, I'm like, I ain't got it.

I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the

rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died for him that would be the greatest honor? But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey. Listen to The Turning River Road 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? 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

still thinks like that. But when you go to, I couldn't believe like, you know, guys used to hang out in strip clubs. Like, Players Club helped a whole lot. Because they was like, you know guys used to hang out in strip clubs like players club Helped a whole lot because they was like wow This is not corny people and then you get to see like women who are not hoes Like they were saying that earlier like I think that's an important part of the strip club Whatever you know, yeah, it's like it's like when I went to um I think Atlanta right?

Like I couldn't remember my first time in Atlanta I think I was with you as well like there's so many girls which is Was doing anything going home getting dressed and like going to take care of their kids, and I was like whoa right? That's the reason why people in New York though, at least. No more of that? I love the strip club. I'll be dabbing on this. All right, all right, you cut in. All right, I respect that.
